Vol 1 Chapter 23 (2/2)
“Alright Young sir please take a seat, the dishes will be sent over i Yuan to his seat He took the cloth on top of his shoulder and gently wiped the table before leaving Indeed as the worker said, the dishes were very quickly served
Fang Yuan ate and calculated at the same time in his mind, “A piece of primeval stone can buy ht Gu consureen bamboo wine costs two pieces of stones, and it can support the Liquor worm for four days In other words just to raise and feed the two of these Gu, I would need to spend nearly one stone everyday”
It does not seem likeexpenses for a mortal family of three only used up one piece of pri the Gu until today, sixteen days had already passed Just to raise the Gu alone Fang Yuan had already spent fourteen and a half primeval stones
“I have acquired the Flower Wine treasure, taken away Fang Zheng’s bag of priot the first place reward My primeval stone assets once reached up to forty-four pieces and a half However in the early days of refining the Gu I wasted six pieces and a half, then I used fourteen pieces and a half on feeding these Gu My living expenses cost half a piece, and today I am probably left with twenty pieces”
Fang Yuan took out hiscontained pieces of prireyish white in colour, their shapes ellipsoid and the volu
After counting he found that he really only had twenty pieces left In other words if this continued on then Fang Yuan would only be able to go on for half astones he had left He was not like his peers – they had relatives and friends to help them out, especially with the case of students like Gu Yue Mo Bei and Gu Yue Chi Cheng ere loaded with primeval stones
Fang Yuan could only think of a way himself
“Uncle and Aunt have already cut off ive out three pieces of primeval stones as subsidy to every student Looks like I would need to show off in the moonblade assessment in three days and take that ten pri Yuan chewed the food in his mouth while he pondered
His current age was just at the age where the body was growing Without realizing it all the rice and dishes had entered his stomach
Taking up the sealed green ba, leaving the inn
“Young sir, young sir” The inn worker chased after hi, but in less than a e By convention they would always buy the green bareen bamboo wine and always buys a few jars every week, so the innkeeper ordered reen bamboo wine in our store has li company I’m afraid ould be left with very little”
“Is that the case?” When Fang Yuan heard the news, he frowned slightly To know so Yuan had five hundred years of experience The shop worker and the young Gu Master Jiang Ya spoke with si Yuan could naturally tell the difference with Jiang Ya’s tricky words and the shop worker’s truthful words
ThisYuan needed to feed the Liquor wor run If this inn ran out of stock then he would have to use huge amounts of second-rate wine to feed the Liquor worm
It was not possible for him to drink several jars a day After a while people would be suspicious After thinking about it, Fang Yuan took out ten pieces of primeval stones and said, “Then I’ll buy another five jars I will need you to carry them for me and follow me to put them in the academy dormitory”
“Alright, young sir” The worker immediately accepted the primeval stones
The moon orchid flower petals could only last for five days without any special storageevery tireen ba time, thus there was no problem with this
A feorkers followed Fang Yuan into the academy dorms and placed the wine jars under his bed, and then they bid their leave As he saw the money pouch that had suddenly flattened down in his hands, Fang Yuan heaved a sigh
Refining a Gu is hard, but raising a Gu is also not easy
This is also considering the fact that he had his five hundred years of previous life experience, so he did not need to practice using his Gu,that the consumption rate of prie sum of expenses
For those at his age around hiht Gu and would need to waste primeval essence To increase proficiency, one would need to practice many times When too much primeval essence is consumed, primeval stones would have to be used as a supplerass puppet it costs three primeval stones as well All this is money
“Fortunatelyelse Otherwise I would have long gone bankrupt, I would never be able to support it” Fang Yuan suddenly felt very lucky
The reater the food consumption needed or the more precious and rare the food required would be, thus the more difficult it would be to keep A level Rank two normal Gu ould cost up to around one to two pieces of primeval stones a day
It is good enough if the food is purchasable There were some Gu that required food that was relatively difficult to find, some of it did not even circulate in the market
Just like the Spring Autu time, this was actually old cannot buy an inch of time
No matter how much money you have, can you buy time?
You can’t!
In theory a Gu Master can refine an unli as you can refine it, whether ten, a hundred or a thousand worms is possible You can refine as many Gu as you wish to
But in reality a Gu Master normally only had 4-5 Gu
Why?
The biggest reason is because it is hard to afford
The higher the grade of the worm, the ave a Gu Master tooheadaches over it
Another reason was – unable to use
To use the Moonlight Gu to throw out a single moonblade attack, one would need to use up 10 of prirade talent Gu Master could run out of pri three to four attacks
To raise so many Gu, wouldn’t it be a waste if one couldn’t use them anyway?
Thus in the Gu Master’s cultivation there was a saying going around: Raising a Gu is like raising a mistress
To keep a mistress you would need to buy food, clothes, a house etc It is very expensive and the more you have the more costly it is; a normal man cannot afford it
Even if you keep so y is limited; he cannot use them all Would you raise them just to look at them?
When the rank of the Gu Master increases, so does the food standard of the Gu wor how a Gu Master has no lieneral a Gu Master only keeps around 4-5 Gu of his level
If the nuo bankrupt!
