Chapter 23 – Raising a Gu is like raising a mistress
The sun had already set
The sunset gloas still burning in the sky The mountains far away in the distance were covered in a thick layer of grey ash, gradually turning to black
In the academy, a day’s class was over The students walked out froroups of twos and threes
“I’s Especially how I got to learn how to use the Moonlight Gu”
“The way the moonblade flies in the air looks so cool It’s too bad that istics Gu Master, I won’t be able to go onto the battlefield” The young teenagers happily chatted away
A few of them called their friends over
“Let’s go and eat, we can drink some rice hile we’re at it, what do you think?”
“Sure, that’s not a bad suggestion”
“You guys go on first, I need to go to the store beside the acaderass puppet It will be easy to practice at home with it”
Fang Yuan went to the Gu room alone
The academy’s Gu room kept quite a few Rank one Gu wor Yuan’s Moonlight Gu was taken freely from inside
Once in a while the students would have a free chance to pick a Gu woret extra Gu, they would need to pay up
In this short ti Yuan had no wish to refine any other Gu He walked to the building beside the Gu room – it was a small store
In the store there were seven students, each of the grass puppets
“It’s you, junior” The Rank one Gu Master responsible for the store was in his twenties When he saw Fang Yuan, he auto with his customers
Fang Yuan was taken by surprise, finding out that this Gu Master was Jiang Ya It was the young Gu Master that had taught the hunters a lesson in the inn
“Ah, it’s you senior” Fang Yuan nodded his head, his face expressionless
Jiang Ya took out a grass puppet fro it to the student who purchased it At the sa Yuan a friendly srass puppet as well? If you want me to leave one for you, you just need three pieces of priht now there’s only seven left, if you wait any longer there won’t be any stock left”
Jiang Ya’s attitude towardsYuan, he was very kind and sincere
Fang Yuan shook his head, laughing secretly as he thought, this Jiang Ya really did kno to do business The grass puppets werethe primeval essence that was put in, the final cost should not be more than one and a half primeval stones
“Senior, this isn’t fair It should be first come first serve, why leave any for him?”
“Yeah, we all came early If you want to do business you should know the rules”
“Three pieces will be three pieces, here’s the prirass puppet”
The youngsters in the store were all worried when they heard that th
e store only had seven puppets left They stopped trying to negotiate, and took out their stones to buy it
Very quickly, seven satisfied teenagers walked out
“Does hed as he asked, “It seehth puppet stoay below the chest If junior doesn’t buy it now, you will miss the opportunity”
Fang Yuan had no interest towards the grass puppet He shook his head and pulled out a piece of pri it on the counter “I want to buy ten moon orchid petals”
Jiang Ya was stunned He looked Fang Yuan deep in the eye, taking away the pri open the counter drawer Then he took out a paper bag, saying, “Ten pieces of moon orchid flower petals, not one less Please make sure”
Fang Yuan checked the goods on the spot and found no mistake with it Finally he left the small shop
Gu have to be fed
A Gu Master refines Gu, uses Gu, and at the same time needs to raise Gu
Refining a Gu was difficult; there was the risk of counterattack Using a Gu was not easy; one needed a lot of practice The knowledge of raising a Gu was even more extensive and profound, because there were all kinds of Gu wore Soht, some required tears and some fed on the clouds from nine skies
Just by taking Fang Yuan’s current three Gu for exaht Gu required ht one meal, every meal two pieces of flower petals Meanwhile for the Liquor worreen ba Autuht fro its vitality
The River of Time supported the flow of this world It was not far away in the sky but very near at hand, flowing by every person’s side Everycreature required the push of time
Ti forward The River of Ti creatures were actually surviving and living in the waters of the River of Time
After buying the bag of reen bamboo wine The Liquor worm could also drink some turbid wine or rice wine to live However with this kind of second-rate wine the amount it needed to drink would increase, and it would needYuan decided it would be better to buy green baht away Not only would it be rade wine, it would also not arouse suspicion
“Young sir, you’ve co Yuan passed hi with a fareen baive e, just put it here first At the end of the month when it amounts up to one stone, you can subtract from my bill with it”
Even though Fang Yuan no longer stayed at the inn right now ever since he moved to the acadeht wine
