102 Spring comes after the winter winds (2/2)
Aunt took a look at the list, before losing her composure, ”Damn it, you cannot do this! This is all ours, OURS! Hubby, say something, think of something. Without these assets, what do we have left? Even our servants will be gone by half, we cannot afford it! ”
Slap!
Gu Yue Dong Tu stood up and sent his palm flying towards Aunt, sending her to the ground from her seat.
”Noisy bitch!” Uncle flew into a rage, scolding in an agitated tone, ”Frog in the well, the clan rules are there, you think you can choose not to return them? Dumb, ignorant!” Aunt used her hand to cover her cheeks, beaten into stupidity, lying on the ground in shock, staring at her husband blankly.
”Hmph!” Gu Yue Dong Tu grabbed the inventory list, gritting his teeth, scanning through.
His eyes were filled with blood traces as he breathed heavily, saying with hatred, ”Return! All these things… I will return… NOT A THING LESS!!! But...”
His veins popped from his forehead, the muscles on his face twitching, his expression full of ruthlessness, ”But Fang Yuan, I cannot stop the internal affairs hall, yet I can deal with you. Don’t think everything is well and alive now that you have these assets, hmph!”
Three days later, Fang Yuan walked out from the internal affairs hall with a stack of house and land deeds and sold human contracts in his hands.
”To think this inheritance is so abundant.” He was slightly stunned.
Even though Fang Yuan had some estimations, after receiving this asset list, it was way out of his expectations.
Over ten mu of farmland, eight family servants and three bamboo buildings, and a wine tavern!
”No wonder uncle was so insistent, thinking of all ways to stop me.” Fang Yuan could understand Gu Yue Dong Tu’s actions.
With such a large family asset, even in this world, one could live like a king.
Ten mu of farmland, eight family servants, put this aside first. Those three bamboo buildings were property assets — even if they were only rented out, every month, the rental amount was enough to support Fang Yuan’s current cultivation.
Other than that there is also a wine tavern. Note that there is only four wine-selling areas in the entire village.
Such an asset, if on earth, would be equivalent to having several mansions and a hotel, it is an aristocrat life with multiple servants.
What’s worth mentioning is, this world’s living conditions was way more ruthless and difficult, thus the village being the safest location, priced the property assets even more expensively than on earth.
”It is said that my Fang family, three generations ago, had a clan elder who held power and left much inheritance for his future generations. With these family assets, the seven Gu worms aside, even if that number doubled I can still afford them! But the crucial point isn’t this. It is this grass Gu!”
At this point, there was a grass Gu lying quietly in Fang Yuan’s palm.
It was dainty and delicate, the emerald green roots resembling a ginseng’s beard. There were some semi-transparent stolon that was like jadeite. Nine pieces of round-shaped leaves that were jade green covered and reflected each other, forming the shape of a round plate.
This was the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, the healing-type Rank two Gu worm.
If it came to normal healing, it had no difference from the Life breath grass.
The true value of the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass lay in its leaves - Every one of the leaves torn from it was a vitality leaf.
Vitality leaf is also a type of grass Gu. At rank one, it is an expendable type, disappearing after one use.
It had another flaw, and that was when a piece of vitality leaf is used to heal injuries, within the next hour, other vitality leaves had no more healing effect on the person.
But, all in all, it was easy to refine, and instantaneous healing together with the easy feeding of it made it the most popular healing technique among Rank two Gu Masters.
Healing Gu Master, every group needed one. But in times where multiple Gu Masters were injured, what can a single Gu Master do? If the healing Gu Master was the one who died, or got lost, what happens to the rest?
Thus, Gu Masters always prepared some healing methods for themselves, and the vitality leaf was the best method. Every Gu Master that roamed outside needed to prepare at least one or two.
”After I refine the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, every piece of leaf torn out would be a vitality leaf. Using the primeval essence to inject into the grass, I can make it grow new leaves. Thus, this Nine Leaf Vitality Grass can be said to be a moving goldmine. The most important asset of all… without exception. Having this Nine Leaf Vitality Grass is an avenue of business. In this dangerous world, which Gu Master does not get injured on their missions? They have a perpetual need for the vitality leaf.”
”No wonder Gu Yue Dong Tu was known as the ‘hidden elder’ even after he retired many years ago; he still held great influence outside. So the reason was this Nine Leaf Vitality Grass.”
Gu Masters needed the vitality leaf, and Gu Yue Dong Tu sold the leaf. With such a relationship, it is no question that his influence remained.
Fang Yuan was enlightened.
”Only in this world are clan relationships raised to such a level, restraining Uncle and Aunt. If this was earth, with such a conflict of interest, Fang Zheng and I would already have had been killed by them. This is not good, it seems I have some trouble ahead, Uncle and Aunt will not let go so easily.”
”But I have already grown up with Rank two cultivation. If they want to deal with me and also consider the clan regulations, they would be highly restricted. Hmph, regardless of what they do, just show me what you’ve got. Dealing with it as it comes, I will handle them all.”
Fang Yuan walked on the street, his eyes glimmering in brilliance.
A gust of winter wind blew on his face.
It was still far from spring, but Fang Yuan knew that ‘spring’ (start of his new life) had already come.
