A million was a lot, but it was not too much to reach.
From when he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage until now, it had not even been a year, but he had already accumulated close to 400,000 worth of wealth.
This meant that people with ability did not lack money. What they lacked was time to accumulate resources and a foundation.
But neither was it too little.
Fang Yuan did not know where to get the one million in a short period of time.
Should he get it all from stone gambling?
He did not want to take this risk.
Along the way, he was not targeted by anyone. What he relied on was his cautious and meticulous way of doing things.
He did not take too much or too little. It would make ordinary people amazed, but it would not attract the attention of the strong.
This was his way of life.
Otherwise, he could rely on stone gambling to start from scratch and earn tens of millions or billions of primeval stones.
But the result would be that his reputation in the stone gambling world would spread far and wide, and he would be targeted by others.
It would be fine if he was acquainted with some serious big shot and got them to back him.
But if they were evil, he would be finished.
He could not hide in the Gu Immortal Sect forever.
Even if he could, his parents could not.
Gu Zhenren could not protect everyone.
Fang Yuan planned to earn a few hundred thousand in the gambling den this time and stop.
Even if there were people coveting him, they would probably only have Enlightenment Realm strength, and he could barely deal with them.
As for stronger Gu masters in the Fusion or Nascent Soul realms, they would not lower themselves to rob juniors just for this bit of money.
They would even risk offending Gu Zhenren, unless the benefits were so great that they were tempted.
Several hundred thousand was not even enough to raise a layer, so it was not worth it.
But even if he added in several hundred thousand from the stone gambling, he still needed about a third more to reach the goal of a million.
He did not know where to get this money.
Fang Yuan was worrying about this, but he did not expect to meet an old acquaintance when he came to the stone gambling house.
“Senior Fang? You’re here too?”
The one who spoke was Li Tongzhou, the young disciple who claimed that he was irreconcilable enemies with drugs and gambling.
But now it seemed that he was only irreconcilable enemies with drugs.
Hmm?
He seemed to have admitted this before.
Fang Yuan could not help but smile when he recalled what had happened back then.
This man who wanted to woo Wan Qian did not even have a conversation with her.
On the contrary, he, who wanted to cultivate wholeheartedly, was so intimate with Wan Qian that they even met each other openly.
He could not help but sigh at how fate toyed with people and how unlucky his fate was.
“Why are you here?”
“This extraordinary Fanshu City is going to hold an auction. I even heard that there will be a Gold quality Gu worm. It’s a rare grand event, so I followed them out to take a look.”
“Followed?”
“Yes, many people from our sect have come over. Senior Zhang Wenbin, the personal disciple of the inner sect’s Fourth Elder, is leading the team.”
As he spoke, he moved closer and said in a low voice, “I heard that there’s another mission this time. It’s related to the sect’s secret order.”
“Zhang Wenbin is here too?”
Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows. Wasn’t he delivering himself to the door?
He was just worried that he didn’t have a place to gather a million primeval stones!
He would just beat him up and take the money!
For a moment, Fang Yuan’s mood was much better.
“Yeah.”
Li Tongzhou looked around and saw Xu Zhiyu leaning against Fang Yuan. He was shocked. “Holy shit! There is a girl who is even more interesting than Senior Wan. Senior, you are good at this!”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Fang Yuan didn’t even lift his eyelids. He was thinking about something and casually introduced, “This is the daughter of the Vice City Lord of Fanshu City, the eldest daughter of the Xu family.”
“Oh! Oh~”
Li Tongzhou’s expression changed seven or eight times in an instant, and his expression became even more lewd and ambiguous. “Senior, I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t tell Senior Wan.”
Hm?
What was this kid thinking?
Fang Yuan raised his head and looked, and his mood became bad again.
Xu Zhiyu was amused by his rich expressions and actions, and burst into laughter. Then she realized that she was still a young lady from a noble family, and she had to restrain herself. She held back her laughter and casually asked.
“The Senior Wan you mentioned, is she brother Fang’s Dao Partner?”
Li Tongzhou did not say a word. He was already mesmerized by Xu Zhiyu’s smile and could not control himself.
Fang Yuan kicked him angrily. “Restrain yourself a little.”
“Ah?”
Li Tongzhou came back to his senses and looked at him innocently.
Fang Yuan could not help but be speechless.
“Ah! Ah, right!”
Li Tongzhou slapped his forehead and immediately replied Xu Zhiyu, “Senior Wan is not brother Fang’s Dao Partner. Sister-in-law, don’t worry. He definitely did not do anything to let you down!”
Now, Fang Yuan wanted to beat him up.
Xu Zhiyu’s pretty face turned red, but when she heard Li Tongzhou call her sister-in-law, she could not help but feel happy. She could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle, “Don’t talk nonsense. There’s nothing going on between Big Brother Fang and me right now.”
Li Tongzhou immediately went with the flow and said, “Just because there’s nothing going on now doesn’t mean there will be nothing going on in the future. Life is long and there’s plenty of time. Sister-in-law is not in a hurry. Senior Fang is a very good person.”
Xu Zhiyu’s face turned even redder.
Fang Yuan looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. “You might as well not explain yourself.”
This clown character of Li Tongzhou was simply too much.
It was true that he could liven up the atmosphere, but with such a carefree personality, he could always say something shocking, making one so angry that they wanted to throw him off a 10,000-meter cliff.
How could this fellow be irreconcilable with drugs?
He himself was an old drug, alright!
Fang Yuan took a deep breath.
Forget it!
Since they were from the same sect, he thought of it as tempering his mind.
He no longer paid attention to Li Tongzhou and turned his attention to the Gu stones.
As his spirit essence circulated, the True Sight Gu’s ability was activated in his eyes.
As his gaze swept over them, the Gu stones seemed to be irradiated by X-rays, turning into black and white images that appeared in his pupils.
It was indeed as Xu Zhiyu had said, this gambling den was worthy of its reputation. Its quality was very good.
In this batch of over a thousand stones, there were about ten stones that were hidden gems.
A 1% jackpot was already considered very high.
One had to know that the last time he had bet on stones, he had looked through the entire place and only picked out two.
However, the stones here were also much more expensive than those over there.
The ones worth the least were also worth 15,000 primeval stones, and they wouldn’t turn much of a profit.
Some expensive ones go up to 100,000 primeval stones.
Fang Yuan was also somewhat uncertain.
After all, his True Sight Gu could only determine if there were Gu worms inside, but it could not determine which Gu worms were inside.
This was like opening Pandora’s box. It would not be a miss, but it was just either profit or loss.
In the end, Fang Yuan did not start buying. Li Tongzhou, who had been studying for a long time, had already started buying.
“Boss, I want this!”
Fang Yuan glanced at it. It was a rock..
