“The door is open, come in.”
Fang Yuan yawned. Since he had expended a lot of mental energy throughout the night, he had not rested, and even with Enlightenment Realm cultivation, he could not bear it.
“Did you not sleep?”
Li Tongzhou walked in with a smile, casually sitting down at the table, pouring tea to drink, and then said, “Do you want to rest for half a day before going to the auction house?”
“We cannot delay the important matters.” Fang Yuan shook his head and stood up. “Where is Senior Zhao?”
“Martial Uncle Zhao went to act according to the plan.”
“What about the primeval stones?”
“I got them too, Senior, do we have to do it?”
Fang Yuan glanced at him: “Why, are you getting cold feet?”
“What are you saying? As a disciple of the Gu Immortal Sect, why would I be afraid!”
Li Tongzhou said righteously, before shrinking his head, saying softly, “I am just worried that I will make a mistake and mess up the sect’s matters.”
Fang Yuan sat down beside him, patting his shoulder. “Don’t worry, you just need to maintain the attitude you had yesterday. I will be in charge of everything.”
Li Tongzhou nodded lightly.
Although he didn’t say it, the expression on his face showed that he was very worried. The words were almost written on it.
“With your appearance, I’m afraid you’ll be suspected as soon as you appear.”
Fang Yuan said speechlessly, “What’s there to be afraid of? If anything happens, I’ll take care of it. Even if I can’t take care of it, there’s still Senior Zhao. Don’t you believe him?”
“I… I’m not… sigh… how should I put it…”
Li Tongzhou scratched his head. “I just feel a little nervous. Come to think of it… This is my first time doing a core mission of the sect…”
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment. “Then, how about imagining that after you finish this mission, the sect will arrange a beautiful Dao Partner for you? Maybe that way, you won’t be afraid.”
Li Tongzhou looked at him with a pure and innocent gaze. “Can they really arrange one?”
Fang Yuan: “…”
The two looked at each other, and Fang Yuan yawned again.
Li Tongzhou laughed embarrassedly. “Senior, you don’t look like an expert at all in this state. You’re more likely to be exposed than me.”
As he spoke, he handed over a Gu worm. “Here, try this. I used it yesterday and it worked pretty well.”
[Refreshing Gu]: It can temporarily boost one’s spirit.
It was a consumable type Gu worm.
Fang Yuan held it in his hand, and smelling the pungent smell it gave off, his mind indeed became much clearer.
Following that, Fang Yuan took out the disguise Gu and started to adjust Li Tongzhou’s appearance.
Not long after, a cross-dressing boss appeared in front of him again, with a beautiful face with peerless looks.
Li Tongzhou looked at himself in the mirror and sighed. “I was afraid that I would fall in love with myself. Sigh, Senior, you made it so beautiful. It will raise my standards for choosing a partner.”
“Don’t be silly, get ready to set off!”
Fang Yuan adjusted his appearance and changed his clothes. “Has your Frost Arrow Gu surrendered?”
“It’s already settled!”
Li Tongzhou was excited at the mention of this Gu. “I didn’t expect this Frost Arrow Gu to be so docile. I was just going to give it a try, but I didn’t expect it to succeed. Plus, this is a rank four Gu worm.”
“Come on, let me see it.”
Li Tongzhou did not hesitate, activating his spirit essence to open his acupoints.
Immediately, a light blue toad jumped out, its body growing in mid-air, and when it landed, it was half the height of a human.
Its entire body was covered in cold air, freezing the water vapor in the surrounding air. The coldness was bone-chilling.
“What a dense ice element!”
Fang Yuan’s eyes lit up.
“Of course!” Li Tongzhou chuckled. “It cost me 160,000 primeval stones!”
Fang Yuan turned his head and looked at him with the same pure and innocent eyes.
Li Tongzhou’s body trembled, and the smile on his face froze.
“Senior… why are you looking at me like that… What do you want to do… I… Only my face changed, not my body…”
“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you. I just want to have some fun with this Gu worm of yours.”
The corners of Fang Yuan’s mouth curled up and his palm pressed on the Frost Arrow Gu.
…
…
Two hours later.
Fang Yuan and Li Tongzhou, who had put on their disguises, walked on the street of Fanshu City.
Before they had walked far, they felt that they had been targeted by someone.
“It seems that Fanshu City is filled with people from all the major sects.”
“Sigh, speaking of which, it’s still my appearance that has caused trouble. If it was an ordinary woman’s appearance, I wouldn’t have attracted attention.”
“If not for that, the credibility of your identity wouldn’t be high. It could be considered a coincidence.”
“Senior is right…”
“Didn’t I say not to call me senior outside?”
“Brother is right.”
Fang Yuan and Li Tongzhou talked in a low voice. They passed through the road and soon arrived outside the auction venue.
Today, the situation that had blocked half of the street yesterday did not happen. The path was open.
However, there was a sign at the entrance of the venue that recorded the adjustments to the auction content.
Fang Yuan glanced at it.
The general change was to cancel tomorrow’s auction and combine it with today’s.
“It seems that Senior Zhao has successfully pressured the venue.”
Fang Yuan’s expression did not change. He walked in side by side with Li Tongzhou and found their seats from yesterday and sat down.
Jiang Yuncheng, who was in the private room, immediately waved at them from afar with a sincere smile.
Li Tongzhou had the temperament of a fairy, and he didn’t even look him in the eye.
Fang Yuan’s thoughts grew deeper.
Did this Jiang Yuncheng know that his subordinate had already been killed by him?
If he had already guessed it, was he still be able to endure his temper and not come to interrogate them? If that was the case, this shrewdness of his was much deeper compared to Zhang Wenbin.
On the other hand, Qin Wentian didn’t make any movements. In fact, he didn’t even appear at the window, completely different from yesterday’s performance.
He was most likely affected by the sudden change in the auction’s schedule.
Very swiftly, the people entered the auction hall one after another, and the auction officially began.
The host this time was a beautiful lady. Without any unnecessary words, she directly brought out the first item for today’s auction, and a gentle introduction resounded throughout the entire auction hall.
That was a set of spirit essence gathering Gu, containing four Gu worms, each of which had their own unique functions in this set, one could not be missing.
Overall, this Gu set was for increasing the efficiency of cultivation, Fang Yuan already had the Vegetation Three Stars Cave Gu, so he was naturally not interested.
But even if he had no interest, it did not mean that others did not like it.
If this thing was placed in an ordinary clan, it would be a rare treasure.
Once it appeared, there was a loud bid.
Very quickly, the bid reached 560,000 primeval stones.
“So Gu worms become so valuable after forming a set.”
Fang Yuan crossed his arms in front of his chest, feeling somewhat surprised.
Just a few Bronze quality Gu worms could be sold for such a high price after forming a set. It was already three times the price of the Frost Arrow Gu.
And this was not the final price.
Fang Yuan could not help but be interested.
If he learned how to refine Gu sets, would he still lack primeval stone in the future?
