Reverend Insanity

In the hall, the lights are bright.

On the round dining table, the wine is cold and the dishes are cold.

The bright red candles danced, casting the shadows of my uncle and aunt on the wall.

The shadows of the two joined together, shaking gloomily with the candlelight.

In front of them, Mother Shen knelt.

Uncle broke the silence: "I don't want this Fang Yuan, I really want to oppose me. Alas, I originally wanted to persuade him, to stabilize him, let him live at home first, and then find a reason to expel him. Family door. I didn't expect that little brat to be fooled! He was so determined, he refused my invitation, and there was no room for negotiation! He didn't even step up to my threshold!"

My aunt gritted her teeth and looked a little panicked: "This unfamiliar little wolf cub is now sixteen years old. If he asks for property, we can't help but give it. All the property we got back then was even in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is clearly registered, and it cannot be relied on. What can I do?!"

"You go down first." Uncle sneered after waving Aunt Shen away, "Don't worry. I've been thinking about plans for a long time this year. To split up the family first, you must have a mid-level cultivator. Wei. Fang Yuan has already reached this point, and he is already at the peak of cultivation, and even won the first place at the end of the year, which is really impressive. Hehe..."

"However, it is by no means so easy to successfully share the property! A rank 1 intermediate level is just a prerequisite. To get the property, Fang Yuan still needs to apply for it. After the approval of the Internal Affairs Hall, the task will be issued. , to examine whether Fang Yuan is qualified or not. This is also the family's policy to prevent the indiscriminate division of the family property, resulting in excessive internal friction and weakening of the family's strength."

Aunt suddenly realized: "So, Fang Yuan has to complete this task in order to get his parents' inheritance."

"That's right." Uncle said with a smirk, "But the tasks of the Internal Affairs Hall are all issued for the group. This family property task is no exception. To complete it, Fang Yuan must rely on the strength of the group, and he cannot do it alone. Yes. In doing so, the family is doing everything possible to integrate the group, so that the members of the group are united and improve cohesion.”

Aunt laughed: "Master, you are so wise. Let Jiao San bring Fang Yuan into the group, so that Fang Yuan needs their strength to complete the task of the family property. But Jiao San is ours, Fang Yuan can't accomplish this task alone."

A glimmer of pride flashed in my uncle's eyes, and he said, "Hmph, even if I can't recruit him into the group, I have other ways to deal with him. Not to mention completing the task, even if he wants to apply for a family separation and receives this family property task, It's not even possible!"

...

As night fell, the snow stopped.

Fang Yuan walked on the street, and the bamboo buildings along the way were covered with a layer of white frost and snow.

The foot stepped on the snow, making a slight noise. The cold air breathed into the body, making Fang Yuan's mind extremely clear.

After rejecting Mama Shen, Fang Yuan disregarded Jiao San and the others' retention, bid farewell to everyone, and acted alone.

"So that's the case." He thought while walking, "Uncle and aunt want to get stuck on me, delay me, and make me lose the chance to regain my inheritance."

"After the new year, I will be sixteen years old, and I am eligible to split up the family. Both parents have died, and my younger brother has re-identified as new parents. As long as the success is successful, the inheritance will be mine. But to get the inheritance back, the process will be scored two points. Every step has a lot to do with it.”

"The first step is to apply to the Internal Affairs Office if you don't have any tasks. The second step is to complete the family property tasks issued by the Internal Affairs Office, so that you are eligible to obtain the family property."

"Jiao San and my uncle and aunt are the same raccoon dog, not to mention the second step, he will get stuck on me at the first step alone."

The family stipulates that Gu Masters can only complete one task at a time. This is to prevent Gu Masters from taking quests indiscriminately and causing vicious competition within the clan.

Jiao San continued to receive tasks, and just after completing the task of collecting saprophytic soil,

He immediately took on a new task of catching wild deer.

The tasks of the family are issued for the entire group, that is to say, according to the rules of the family, Fang Yuan must complete the task of catching wild deer before he has the right to apply for separation.

"But at that time, I believe that Jiao San will definitely take over the task again. As the team leader, he will always be one step ahead of me in handing over tasks. I am one step behind before I can apply for the family property task, but he is stuck. In front of me." Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's clear eyes flashed.

These intrigues and tricks are really annoying, like an invisible rope tying Fang Yuan's steps forward.

However, Fang Yuan did not regret joining this group.

The situation in the martial arts field at that time put him in a dilemma. Jiao San's invitation actually helped Fang Yuan.

If you don't join this group, I believe that uncles and aunts must have other means to prevent them. Now in the group, but seeing their layout clearly, you can calmly counterattack.

"It's not impossible to solve this trouble. The easiest and most direct way is to eliminate Jiao San and assassinate my uncle and aunt directly. No one will fight with me in terms of family property. However, this method is too risky. They are all Rank 2 Gu Masters, and my Rank 1 cultivation is still a bit low. And even if I kill them, I can't deal with the aftermath. Unless there is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation... But this kind of opportunity can often be avoided. It is impossible to meet.”

Fang Yuan could kill Gao Wan, his slave, and he could execute Wang Laohan's family. That's because they are all mortals, slaves, their lives are as low as grass, killing them is equivalent to killing a dog, breaking a grass, it doesn't matter.

But if you want to assassinate a Gu Master, that's a lot of trouble.

Gu Masters are all surnamed Gu Yue, and they are all clansmen. No matter which one dies, it will lead to a thorough investigation by the family punishment hall. Fang Yuan evaluated his own strength. Now that the risk of killing is too great, he might be counter-killed. Even if it is killed, the investigation of the punishment hall will be a bigger trouble. Not to mention that his actions will be monitored in the future, and he may even be investigated for the remains of the Flower Wine Walker.

"In order to eradicate a small trouble, it's not a wise man to cause a big trouble. Huh? Here it is." Fang Yuan whispered to himself and stopped in front of a dilapidated bamboo building.

The bamboo building was in a state of dilapidation, like an old man who was dying, hunched over in the cold winter wind, lingering on.

Looking at this bamboo building, Fang Yuan's face couldn't help showing a hint of reminiscence.

This is the house he rented in his previous life.

When he was kicked out of the house by his uncle and aunt in his previous life, he had less than fifteen primeval stones on hand. After sleeping on the street for a few days, he found this place.

The rooms here are so shabby, so the rent is much lower than other places. And other places are settled monthly and quarterly, but here is settled by days.

"I don't know if other places are arranged by my uncle and aunt. But the memory of my past life tells me that at least not here." Fang Yuan knocked on the door.

Half an hour later, he made a rental agreement and was taken to a room on the second floor by the landlord.

The old floor, stepped on, made a worrying sound.

The facilities in the room are simple, only one bed and one quilt. There were many patches on the quilt, but there were still holes, revealing the yellowed cotton wool inside.

There was an oil lamp by the bed, and the landlord left after lighting it.

Fang Yuan did not fall asleep, but sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.

The tides of the Zhongyuan Sea in the air aperture ebb and flow, and the waves come and go. Every drop of Yuanshui is dark green.

The four walls of the void are solid white crystal membranes, translucent.

It is the scene of a turn of the peak.

Suddenly, Bronze Yuanhai started to make huge waves. It was like a wild beast that suddenly became violent, launching a suicide attack towards the surrounding orifice walls.

boom boom boom...

The huge wave lifted up and slammed into the orifice wall fiercely. The splashing waves shattered into little green crystals, and then completely dissipated.

In just a short time, 44% of the real essence sea level dropped rapidly, and a large amount of real essence was consumed violently.

There are also cracks on the thick and solid crystal film.

But just the cracks are not enough.

If Fang Yuan wants to break through the peak of Rank 1 and advance to Rank 2, he must completely destroy this crystal film, break it and stand up!

The dark green real essence continued to impact the crystal film, and the cracks on the crystal film became more and more, and gradually became a whole piece. In some places, the cracks deepened, forming more obvious cracks.

However, as the Yuanhai was completely consumed and no real essence continued to impact, the cracks on the crystal film began to heal, and the cracks began to disappear.

Fang Yuan was not surprised, he retracted his mind and opened his eyes.

The oil lamp has been extinguished, and there is not much oil in the lamp.

The room was dark, except for the cracks on the side of the window that let in some faint snow.

There was no stove in the room and it was not warm. Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed and had not been active for a long time, and already felt the chill on his body getting worse.

His black eyes merged with the darkness.

"Actually, to break through the blockade of Jiao San, there is an easier and safer way than killing people. That is to be promoted to rank two! A rank one Gu Master does not have the right to give up a mission, but a rank two Gu Master does once a year. On the second turn, if you give up your task directly, you can apply for separation."

"But breaking through the second rank is not that easy." Thinking of this, Fang Yuan sighed. He got off the bed and slowly paced the small room.

From the elementary level to the middle level, from the middle level to the high level, this is the promotion of a small realm. From the peak of Rank 1 to the beginning of Rank 2, this is a breakthrough. Between the two, the difficulty is not the same.

To put it simply, to break through the crystal film, explosive force is required to form a strong enough impact force in a short time to smash the crystal film.

However, Fang Yuan only has C-level aptitude, and the amount of true essence in Yuanhai is only 44%. If it burst into full force and hit the crystal membrane, the real essence would be consumed in less than a moment.

Just like just now, after the real essence is exhausted, there is no more energy to continue the impact. The crystal membrane has the ability to self-recover, and it will not be long before it will recover. Fang Yuan's previous efforts have become useless.

"In order to break through the crystal membrane and reach rank two, it is not a special case. Generally, at least 55% of the dark green true essence is required. And my aptitude is limited, only 44% at most. Therefore, people often say that aptitude is the second key point of Gu Master's cultivation. !"

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan slowly stopped.

Before he knew it, he had already walked to the window, so he pushed open the window.

The wind frightened the bamboos, and the snow covered the mountains when the windows were opened.

Under the moonlight, the snow is like white jade, and the world in front of you is like a crystal palace, spotless.

The snow light reflected on Fang Yuan's young face.

The cold wind rushed towards his face, and the young man smiled suddenly: "It's just a little bit of wind and frost."

(ps: I'm angry. It can be released at 8 o'clock, but it doesn't work. It was the same yesterday, it's been three times in a row. Anyone who knows, let me know!)
