Reverend Insanity

The sun has set.

The sunset glow was still burning in the sky, and the mountains in the distance were covered with a thick layer of ash, and they were transitioning to black.

The one-day course in the school was over, and the students walked out of the school in twos and threes.

"I'm really happy today, I learned a lot. Especially learned to use Moonlight Gu."

"The moon blade flying in the air is really handsome. Unfortunately, my qualifications are not enough. In the future, I can only be a logistical Gu Master, not on the battlefield." The teenagers chatted with interest.

Some people call friends.

"Let's go to dinner together and drink some rice wine, how about it?"

"Okay, that's a good suggestion."

"Let's go first, I have to go to the shop over there in the school Gu room to buy a straw man puppet so that I can go home and practice."

...

Fang Yuan came to the Gu room alone.

There are a lot of rank one Gu worms in the Gu room of the academy, there are many kinds, Fang Yuan's Moonlight Gu is selected from it for free.

Every once in a while, students will have a chance to receive Gu worms for free. If you want to get additional Gu worms, you have to pay.

Fang Yuan had no intention of refining other Gu worms in a short period of time. He walked to the next door to the Gu room, which was a small shop.

There are seven students in the shop, who are bargaining with the shopkeeper for the purchase of the straw man puppet.

"It's junior." The rank 1 Gu Master in charge of the shop, who was in his twenties, greeted Fang Yuan while doing business after seeing Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was surprised and found out that this Gu Master was Jiang Ya. The young Gu Master who taught Orion a lesson in the inn.

"It turned out to be the senior." Fang Yuan nodded, expressionless.

Jiang Ya took out a straw man puppet from the counter behind him and handed it to a student who bought it. He smiled kindly at Fang Yuan and asked, "Is my junior here also to buy a straw man puppet? I want to keep it for you. One? You only need three primeval stones. This thing sells very fast, and now there are only seven left, and it will be out of stock sooner or later."

His attitude towards mortals is arrogant and harsh, but towards Fang Yuan and the others, he is very kind.

Fang Yuan shook his head and laughed in his heart: This Jiang Ya is quite good at doing business. The grass-man puppet is made of grass-man Gu, and the cost is only half a stone, including the investment of real yuan.

"Senior, you're not being authentic. Come first, come first, why should you keep it for him?"

"That's right, we've come a long time ago. You have to follow the rules when doing business."

"Three pieces, just three pieces, prime stone for you, and a puppet for me."

When the teenagers in the store heard that there were only seven puppets left, they were all anxious, and they did not continue to bargain, and they took out primeval stones to buy them.

Soon, the seven people left with satisfaction.

"Do you want to buy a straw man puppet?" Jiang Ya asked with a smile. "It's just sold out, but in fact, there is an eighth one, which is at the bottom of the box. If you don't buy it, you will miss the opportunity."

Fang Yuan had no interest in the straw man puppet, he shook his head, took out a primeval stone, and placed it on the counter: "I'll buy ten moon orchid petals."

Jiang Ya was stunned, took a deep look at Fang Yuan, took away the primeval stone, opened the drawer of the counter, and took out a paper bag: "Ten moon orchid petals, a lot of them, you order."

Fang Yuan checked it in person and found that it was correct, so he left the small shop.

Gu worms need to be fed.

Gu Masters refine Gu, use Gu, and at the same time have to raise Gu.

Refining Gu is difficult, and there is a danger of backlash. Using Gu is not easy and requires a lot of practice. The knowledge of raising Gu is even more extensive and profound, because there are various kinds of Gu worms, and their food is also very strange.

Some need to swallow mud, some need starlight, some need tears, and some need to inhale nine days of cloud qi.

Take Fang Yuan's three Gu worms as an example, Moonlight Gu needs to devour Moon Orchid petals twice a day, morning and evening, with two petals per meal. Alcohol worms need to drink.

A jar of green bamboo wine can last for four days. The Spring and Autumn Cicada is even more peculiar. It drinks water directly from the River of Time to maintain its vitality.

The river of time supports the operation of this world. It is not far away, but close at hand, flowing around everyone.

Every action of all living beings requires the promotion of time.

Time flies by like water. The river of time is invisible and colorless, and all living beings actually live and live in the river of time.

After buying this package of moon orchid petals, Fang Yuan went to the inn to buy green bamboo wine.

Wine worms can also drink some turbid wine and rice wine for a living. But once it is this kind of inferior wine, the amount of drinking is huge, and it has to be several jars every day. Fang Yuan thought about it, it might be better to buy green bamboo wine directly, it is not only more cost-effective than buying second-class wine, but also will not cause suspicion.

"Young Master, you're here." The guy at the inn already knew Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan directly threw him three primeval stones, and said with ease: "Give me a jar of green bamboo wine, and then get me some good dishes. You don't need to ask for change, put it here first, and when the end of the month ends, return more and make up less. ."

Although he no longer lives in the inn, he moved to the school dormitory. But every time I buy wine, I eat here by the way.

"Okay. Sir, please take a seat here, the food and drinks will be ready soon." The guy agreed and led Fang Yuan to the seat. He took out the rag on his shoulders, wiped the table and stool diligently, and then left.

If it's true as the guy said, the food and wine will be served quickly.

While eating, Fang Yuan calculated in his heart: "One primeval stone can buy ten petals, and Moonlight Gu consumes four per day. A jar of green bamboo wine is worth two primeval stones, which can support the needs of wine bugs for four days. In other words, just feeding these two Gus will consume nearly one primeval stone every day."

This may seem like a small amount, but it's actually quite expensive. For a mortal family of three, one month's living expenses are a primeval stone.

It has been sixteen days since the refining of Gu worms. Fang Yuan's fourteen and a half primeval stones were spent on Gu raising alone.

"I got the Flower Wine Relic Collection, took Fangzheng's bag of primeval stones, and got the first-name reward. The primeval stone assets used to be as high as forty-four and a half yuan. But in the early stage of refining Gu, it cost six and a half yuan, and feeding Gu insects cost me Fourteen and a half yuan, living expenses half a yuan, and now there should be twenty yuan left."

Fang Yuan took out the money bag and opened it to see that there were pieces of primeval stone in the bag.

These primeval stones are all gray-white, each ellipsoid, with the same volume, and the size is like duck eggs.

After counting, there were only twenty dollars left.

In other words, if there is no income, Fang Yuan's remaining primeval stones are only enough for him to last for half a month. Unlike other peers of his age, he was more or less surrounded by relatives and friends to help him, especially students like Gu Yue Mobei and Gu Yue Chicheng, who had no shortage of primeval stones.

And Fang Yuan can only think of a way by himself.

"My uncle and aunt have cut off my living expenses, but every weekend, the family school will give students three primeval stones as a subsidy. It seems that the moon blade assessment in three days, I should show it and win the ten primeval stones reward." Fang Yuan pondered while chewing the food in his mouth.

At his age, it was the time to grow his body. Before I knew it, all the meals fell into my stomach.

Picking up the green bamboo wine without Kaifeng, Fang Yuan stepped out of the inn.

"Master, master." The shop guy behind him caught up, "Tell me something, in less than a month, a caravan will come to the cottage. As usual, they will buy the green bamboo wine in our store. The young master only loves green bamboo wine, and he buys a few jars every week. The shopkeeper ordered him to tell the young master about it. The green bamboo wine in our store is limited.

"Is that so?" Fang Yuan frowned slightly when he heard the words.

Fang Yuan has five hundred years of experience in knowing and debating. The shop guy's plan and the young Gu Master Jiang Ya have similar meanings, but Fang Yuan can naturally distinguish between Jiang Ya's lie and the shop guy's truth.

This is a bit troublesome. Fang Yuan needs to feed the wine worms. In the long run, the amount of green bamboo wine required is very large.

If this inn is out of stock, I am afraid that in the future, only a large amount of inferior wine will be used to feed the wine worms.

It is impossible for him to drink several jars of wine a day, and after a long time, it will lead to suspicion.

After thinking about it, Fang Yuan took out ten primeval stones: "Then buy another five altars, ask me to take them, and put them in the school dormitory with me."

"Yes, son." The man hurriedly took the primeval stone.

If the moon orchid petals have no storage means, they can only be stored for five days, so Fang Yuan only buys one packet at a time. However, green bamboo wine can be stored for a long time, so there is no such problem.

A few guys followed Fang Yuan into the academy dormitory, placed the wine jar under the bed, and all said goodbye.

Fang Yuan sighed as he saw the purse in his hand suddenly deflated.

Refining Gu is difficult, and raising Gu is not easy.

This is because he has five hundred years of previous life experience, and he does not need to practice using Gu worms, which means that the consumption of true essence is reduced, which saves a lot of expenses.

Like my peers around me, if you want to practice using Moonlight Gu, you need to consume True Essence. To improve your proficiency, you need to practice a few more times. The consumption of true essence is too great, and the recovery is too slow, so it can only be replenished with primeval stones. To buy a straw man puppet, you need three primeval stones. It's all money.

"Fortunately, my Spring and Autumn Cicada is eating time, not other food. Otherwise, I would have been bankrupt long ago and couldn't support it at all." Fang Yuan suddenly felt very fortunate.

The higher-end Gu worms, the more food they eat, or the more precious and scarce the food they eat, the more difficult it is to raise. An ordinary rank 2 Gu worm would consume between one and two primordial stones per day.

It's good to be able to buy food. The food of some Gu worms is particularly difficult to find, and there is no such goods in circulation on the market.

Just like the Spring and Autumn Cicada's food is time, which is actually more precious.

As the saying goes, an inch of money cannot buy an inch of time.

No matter how much money you have, can you buy time?

Can't buy it!

In theory, there is no limit to the number of Gu worms that Gu Masters can refine. As long as you can refine it, ten, one hundred, or even one thousand will do. You can refine as many Gus as you want to refine.

But in fact, a Gu Master usually only has four or five Gu worms.

Why?

The biggest reason is that I can't afford it.

The higher the grade of the Gu worm, the more expensive it is to feed. Gu Masters are often overwhelmed, and this causes a lot of headaches.

Another reason is that it doesn't work.

To activate Moonlight Gu and launch a moonblade attack, 10% of True Essence must be consumed. A Gu Master with C-level aptitude, launching three or four attacks, will exhaust the real essence in the aperture.

No matter how many Gu worms you raise, you won’t be able to use them, aren’t they all in vain?

Therefore, there is a saying in Gu Master cultivation.

Raising a Gu is like raising a mistress.

To raise a mistress, you have to buy food, clothes, houses, etc. It’s very expensive, and it’s really expensive to raise too much, and ordinary people can’t afford it.

Even if he can support so much, a man's energy is always limited and cannot be used. Have you ever had eye addiction in vain?

The realm of Gu Masters has improved, but the food standard of Gu worms has also improved. So, don't think that there is no limit on the number of Gu Masters to refine Gu, in general, Gu Masters generally only raise four or five Gu insects of the same level.

If there were more, the Gu Master would go bankrupt!
