"Are you surprised that Uncle agreed to let me follow you to deliver the goods?

"

nYu Bing had a smile on her face as she raised her chin and said smugly:

"I am also a Gu master now. You did not expect this, right?

"

n

"Indeed, I did not expect this, can I take a look?

"

nYu Bing did not hesitate at all, her ten fingers moved lightly and opened her acupoints.

nImmediately, four Gu worms jumped out.

nWater Purifying Gu: Can purify water.

nFood Making Gu: Can make food.

nFalling Leaf Gu: Can let the target recover to an abnormal state.

nEnemy Searching Gu: Can track traces and search for enemies.

n...

n

"Support Gu worms...

"

nFang Yuan could not help but hold his forehead, not saying a word.

nNo wonder he could not see through their realms.

nIt turned out that Yu Bing was a purely support type Gu master who had no actual combat ability and could be crushed with a single touch.

nMoreover, she had very ordinary support type Gu worms. The resources needed to cultivate them were very little, resulting in her breaking through very quickly.

n

"So what! So what!

"

nYu Bing looked at Fang Yuan's expression and could not help pouting, saying unhappily:

"You won't dislike my Gu worms, right?

"

nFang Yuan grinned:

"Why would I? They are quite useful. At least we don't have to worry about food and water.

"

n

"Really?

" Yu Bing did not believe him.

n

"Really.

"

nFang Yuan thought for a while and started to change the topic.

"Why didn't you get a battle type Gu worm? If yours are purely for support, it would be hard to protect yourself in an accident.

"

nYu Bing sighed lightly:

"Those are too expensive, and the Gu worms on the market are all of average grade. They are all old worms, their lifespan is very short, dying after rising by two levels or so.

"

n

"It's that bad?

"

nFang Yuan was stunned, he did not expect the Gu worms on the market to be so lousy.

nYu Bing glared at him:

"That's right. Do you think any place can be like a large sect like the Gu Immortal Sect, and they have an unlimited supply of grade Gu worm eggs?

"

nFang Yuan was silent.

nHe thought of the disciple who was kicked out of the sect a few days ago because of the ten year period.

nNo wonder that person was so extreme.

nHe directly threw the Gu worm that he had nurtured for so many years to death.

nAfter leaving the sect, the difficulty of obtaining resources would increase exponentially.

nJust like Yu Bing, even if she was so close to Fang clan, it would be hard for her to obtain an outstanding battle type Gu worm.

nBeing kicked out of the sect would undoubtedly bring an end to the Gu master's future.

nFang Yuan did not know about Yu Bing's talent. She was two years younger than him and had the strength of one in the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment at such a young age, so she must be pretty good.

nHowever, he still asked.

n

"Sister Bing'er, how long have you been cultivating?

"

n

"Why do you ask?

" Yu Bing seemed hesitant.

n

"To gauge your talent.

"

nFang Yuan told her the truth.

n

"It has been six years since uncle and uncle Shi Hao taught me how to draw Qi into my body.

"

nYu Bing's cheeks were slightly red,

"Aren't I stupid...

"

nIn other words, Yu Bing started cultivating four years after he joined the Gu Immortal Sect.

n

"It's not bad.

"

nFang Yuan shook his head,

"Then how long did it take to open your acupoints?

"

nYu Bing thought for a while, saying:

"It should be around... less than eight months.

"

n

"Eight months?

"

nFang Yuan was shocked. This was already faster than most Gu masters.

nHis sister's talent was not bad!

nAfter all, after entering the Gu Immortal Sect, he had spent three whole years learning how to guide spirit essence into his body to break through his acupoints.

nStarting from scratch was the most difficult step.

nThe subsequent cultivation breakthrough was not that difficult.

nIt was just a process of accumulating spirit essence.

nFang Yuan knew that his aptitude was very mediocre. If he did not have the help of the system, he definitely would not be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage within the sect's stipulated time.

nIn comparison, Yu Bing's talent... Was too terrifying?

nIt was not an exaggeration to call such a person a genius.

nShe became a support Gu master?

nFang Yuan felt a little regretful.

nIt was such a waste of talent.

nYu Bing's talent was all wasted.

n

"What... What is it?

" Yu Bing was shocked by Fang Yuan's reaction.

nFang Yuan laughed bitterly,

"I spent a whole ten years to break through to Foundation Establishment.

"

n

"How is that possible!

"

nYu Bing was very surprised.

"Second Brother, you defeated Song Yuanhong's henchman in one move, why did you take so long to reach Foundation Establishment?

"

n

"After I came back, my father gave me a lot of cultivation resources, I improved a lot in half a month.

"

nFang Yuan explained,

"Moreover, the difference between my Gu worms and that person's is too big, so it is only natural for him to collapse at the first touch.

"

n

"That is also very impressive…

" Yu Bing's eyes showed a hint of admiration,

"I wonder when I can reach this level...

"

n

"It is a bit difficult. Supporting Gu masters don't have any battle strength.

"

nFang Yuan looked at her exquisite face, feeling that such a beautiful girl had great talent, but unfortunately, she could not join a good sect.

nHearing this, Yu Bing could not help but feel a little disappointed.

n

"But...

"

nFang Yuan suddenly recalled some of the contents he had read in the sect's ancient books, and he explained:

"It is not impossible to change this situation. If you want to have actual battle strength, you have to abandon these Gu worms and find new ones to cultivate.

"

nYu Bing pursed her lips. Giving up on Gu worms meant losing her cultivation.

nTo a Gu master, it required great courage.

nShe sighed.

"After this transport, I should be able to get some primeval stones. If there are suitable Gu worms on the market, I will give it a try.

"

nFang Yuan smiled as he stroked her hair, not saying anything.

nGu masters in the secular world were so pitiful.

nBasically, no matter how talented they were, as long as they did not have enough wealth, they would not be able to join a sect. They could only be like Yu Bing, choosing cheap supplementary Gu worms to cultivate.

nThis was also the drawback of everyone raising Gu.

nHigh grade resources were all concentrated in large sects, and to join a sect, one had to pay a huge fee, just like tuition fees.

nA clan like the Fang clan, which was considered a first-rate wealthy merchant clan in Yunding City, could only afford to send Fang Yuan to the Gu Immortal Sect to cultivate alone.

nThis threshold already eliminated most people.

nThe rest of the lone cultivator Gu masters could only take risks in dangerous areas and capture wild Gu worms.

nVery few lucky people could encounter larvae or eggs.

nThose without such luck could only face adult Gu worms and fight them head-on.

nAdult Gu worms were very strong. If ordinary Gu masters of the same rank met them one-on-one, they could only run for their lives.

nOnly disciples from large sects had the ability to resist.

nThis also caused the prices of Gu worms on the market to be ridiculously high, and no one could afford them.

nFang Yuan really wanted to meet a few by chance.

nAfter all, danger and opportunity coexisted.

nUnfortunately, in the blink of an eye, a few days had passed, and not to mention Gu worms, he had not even met a single mutated beast.

nHe did not know if his luck was good or bad.

nHe stuck his head out of the carriage window, looking at the vast group behind him. Fang Yuan's thoughts gradually became heavy.

nThe journey this time was far, and it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.

nHe looked at the list of goods that were being transported this time, and made a simple calculation.

nThe value of all the goods added up to more than fifteen thousand fingernail-sized primeval stones.

nThey had to be transported to the capital, which was around two hundred miles away from Yunding City.

nBased on the speed of the carriage, it would take at least half a month.

nThis journey was filled with unknown variables.

nIf something happened, faced with such a huge amount of compensation, the Fang clan would not just suffer a great loss of vitality.

nIt was very possible for them to declare bankruptcy.

nFang Yuan knew this very well.

nThis escort carried the future of the Fang clan.

nOnly when Shi Hao recovered from his injuries would the Fang clan be able to survive this crisis.

nThis was the most important thing.
