nWith the funds, Fang Yuan wantonly bought the beast blood and medicinal materials needed for the Bloodthirsty Gu and the Moonlight Gu.

nAt the same time, he also bought some medicinal pills that were specially used to recover spirit essence.

nOne pill could recover half of his spirit essence.

nCompared to directly absorbing primeval stones, the efficiency was much higher.

nIt was not so wasteful.

nEverything was for speeding up the cultivation and raising his strength.

nTime passed day by day.

nFang Yuan soaked in the medicinal bath every day, and the primeval stones flowed out of his wallet like water.

nAt the same time, he didn't forget to cultivate the nine-turns rod technique.

nIn the blink of an eye, he had spent more than half of the box full of primeval stones.

nHowever, the results were also very great.

nFang Yuan consecutively broke through two layers, arriving at the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment.

nOther than that, the nine-turns rod technique was also upgraded to rank three. However, when he wanted to cultivate to rank four, he felt that he was lacking something and could not break through.

nFurthermore, the Bloodthirsty Gu and the Drunken Gu had also been upgraded to level two after the Iron Skin Gu.

nThe Moonlight Gu was much weaker.

nWhat was worth mentioning was that during this upgrade, the Drunken Gu and the Bloodthirsty Gu had obtained a skill respectively.

nStorage and Vitality Plunder !

nVitality Plunder was the Bloodthirsty Gu's skill. Its purpose was to possess a target's body and absorb its energy for its own use.

nFirst was spirit essence, then essence Qi, and finally blood!

nAnything with energy could be absorbed.

nIt sounded a little cruel and bloody. Although Fang Yuan was curious, he could not test the strength of this skill for a while.

nStorage was simpler.

nThe Drunken Gu had a compressed space that could be used to store the brewed wine.

nOther than that, it could also store any inanimate objects. It was very convenient.

n

"Not bad, two skills.

"

nFang Yuan was satisfied.

nCurrently, he had two passive defensive skills from the Iron Skin Gu, one offensive combination skill with the Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod, as well as the charging of the Moonlight Gu and the Vitality Plunder which was the most recent.

nWith the support of the nine-turns rod skill, in addition to so many skills, he could be said to have both offensive and defensive powers.

nHowever, at this moment, a clamor came from the main hall outside the courtyard, as if someone had come to his house to cause trouble.

n

"Could it be that something has happened at the shop?

"

nFang Yuan frowned slightly, rushing over to check on the situation.

nIn the main hall, there were already a few muscular men surrounding the Fang father and son, and all of them had fierce and aggressive expressions.

nHowever, the person who seemed to be the leader at the front appeared to be refined. He looked at Fang Wen Heng, who was sitting at the main seat, and slowly spoke.

n

"Master Fang, we have been working together for many years. We all understand that nothing must happen to this batch of goods. What do you think? Other than senior Shi Hao, is there anyone else in your family who can escort them? If not, I will have another family do it instead.

"

nFang Wen Heng frowned and did not speak.

nFang Cheng, who was beside him, pondered for a moment and said,

"Brother Song, can you give me two days to go to the tavern to recruit a few thugs to come back and escort them?

"

n

"PFFT.

"

nA burly man behind the leader surnamed Song sneered.

"You dare to recruit those stinky fish and prawns in the tavern? Aren't you afraid of them stealing the goods?

"

nThe scholarly young man also curled his lips.

"Brother Fang, it's not that I want to criticize you, but your Fang clan can be considered a noble family in Yunding City. I didn't expect that you, as the eldest young master, would come up with such a stupid idea.

"

nFang Cheng's expression immediately became a little ugly.

n

"Forget it.

"

nFang Wen Heng sighed softly and slowly stood up.

"I'll personally escort the goods from your house. How about it?

"

n

"Old Master Fang's ability in business is indeed one of the best in Yunding City. I admit that I'm inferior, but as for cultivation...

"

nThe scholarly young man shook his head and pointed at the two burly men beside him.

"Perhaps you're inferior to my underlings.

"

n

"Impudent!

"

nHearing the other party's words, Fang Cheng was instantly displeased.

"Song Yuanhong, how dare you disrespect my father!

"

nSong Yuanhong curled his lips,

"I was just stating the truth.

"

nFang Wen Heng was silent.

nAlthough Song Yuanhong's words were hurtful, the truth was as he said.

nEven though he had relied on all sorts of pills to reach the third layer of Foundation Establishment, he had not fought for many years and had little actual combat experience.

nMoreover, the Gu worms in his acupoints were not very rare. Most of them were support type Gu worms, and their purpose was to prolong his life.

nIt could be said that Fang Wen Heng was a support type Gu master, so if he met a battle type Gu master, he would only be beaten up.

nThere were specialities in this field.

nTo put it bluntly, in the matter of transporting goods, even if Fang Wen Heng was in the Enlightenment Realm and met a Gu master at the eighth or ninth layer of Foundation Establishment who had both offense and defense, he could only flee.

nSong Yuanhong saw him being silent, and shook his head slightly.

n

"It seems that Uncle is helpless. Since that's the case, please bring out the goods we stored here, and also three hundred palm-sized primeval stones to compensate our Song clan's losses.

"

n

"Three hundred primeval stones? You might as well be snatching them.

" Fang Cheng turned pale with fright.

nPrimeval stones were undoubtedly helpful to Gu masters. Under normal circumstances, even if the utilization rate was very low, a palm-sized primeval stone would contain enough spirit essence to allow an Enlightenment Realm Gu master to recover to his peak condition.

nThree hundred primeval stones was more than enough to buy a platinum rank Gu worm.

nThis wave of greedy demands could not be met even if the Fang clan was sold.

nThe other party was clearly trying to make things difficult for them.

n

"Father.

"

nAt this time, Fang Yuan walked out, his gaze unkindly sweeping over them as he asked:

"What are these people here for?

"

n

"To add insult to injury.

" Fang Wen Heng appeared somewhat desolate and did not say much.

nFang Cheng explained,

"These are people from the Song clan in the capital. They previously stored a batch of goods in our Yunding City shop. Now that Senior Shi Hao is seriously injured, they've come to pick up the goods and want to have another family escort them.

"

nFang Yuan glanced at them and felt that things weren't that simple.

"What are their demands?

"

n

"They want our family to compensate them with three hundred primeval stones, palm-sized.

"

n

"Oh?

"

nFang Yuan knew that the other party was here to provoke them when he heard the price. He twisted his neck and asked,

"Are you here to cause trouble?

"

n

"Cause trouble?

" A big man rolled his eyes.

"We're just here to take back what we should take back.

"

n

"It'll be easier if you don't cause trouble.

"

nFang Yuan's gaze swept across the faces of those people and said indifferently,

"Uncle Shi Hao is injured and can't escort. Let me deliver this order. How about it?

"

n

"You? A brat who is still wet behind the ears?

"

nThe burly man laughed loudly, looking at him with disdain:

"Do you know how much primeval stones the goods are worth this time? If something goes wrong, you cannot even afford to sell your Fang clan's ancestral house!

"

nFang Yuan snorted:

"Who are you, why are you shouting at me?

"

n

"This is the second young master, right?

" Song Yuanhong glanced at Fang Yuan's waist token with the words 'Gu Immortal Sect' engraved on it, laughing lightly,

"I have long heard that Fang clan's second young master has joined Gu Immortal Sect for many years, but he is only a Foundation Establishment Stage Gu master, it seems that his talent is very mediocre.

"

nFang Wen Heng frowned, patting Fang Yuan's shoulder:

"Yuan'er, go to the back, let me handle this.

"

nFang Yuan did not move. He looked at Song Yuanhong coldly, pointing at his nose..

"You, come out and take a beating. If you lose, get lost and leave the goods here!

"
