My Gu Can Cultivate on Their Own-Chapter 45 - Fair Competition
Chapter 45: Fair Competition
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Returning to the small courtyard, Fang Yuan began to read the Hong Zhao book, which recorded the techniques of dual cultivation.
Since it was dual cultivation, there were naturally many pictures of men and women, and they were all naked.
For a moment, Fang Yuan actually felt like he was reading pornography like in his previous life.
With just one look, he had spent an entire day.
As dusk approached, Fang Yuan closed the last page of the book and threw it to the side, rubbing his aching temples.
“It’s not in this book either.”
He frowned and was puzzled. “Could it be that ordinary dual cultivation techniques can’t produce that purple Qi?”
After thinking about it, this seemed to be the only explanation.
After all, the Cloud Moon Gu was a secondary Platinum grade Gu worm. As long as it evolved again, it could successfully advance to the true Platinum grade.
Even personal disciples of many elders did not have it, so it was only natural for ordinary dual cultivation methods not to have records of it.
Fang Yuan planned to go to the scripture depository to look for related books, but just as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw two elders slowly walking over from afar.
The disciples who passed by gave way to them and bowed. It seemed that their status was not low.
Fang Yuan was not in a hurry to leave. He waited at the door for the other party to go first.
A group of disciples stopped and watched from afar. They were all somewhat curious.
“What are the First Elder and Second Elder doing here? Isn’t the inner sect under the Fourth Elder’s control?”
“Could it be that something big happened?”
“Eh, they stopped. That seems to be… Senior Fang Yuan’s place?”
“Previously, Senior Fang skipped the third round of the outer sect competition. Now that the Dao seeking trial is about to begin, could it be that the two elders came to take in disciples in advance?”
“Heavens, if First and Second Elders are taking in disciples together, even Senior Wan Qian wouldn’t have such an honor, right?”
“How can it be the same? Senior Wan Qian is a woman. Even if the two elders wanted to take her in, they wouldn’t be able to guide her.”
“I feel that after Senior Fang entered the inner sect, he will have to be added along with the three talented experts of the younger generation.”
“It’s not just adding him along with them. Senior Fang has broken thousands of years of assessment records. It can be said to be unprecedented. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he’s the number one expert of the younger generation.”
“If you have the chance to meet Senior Fang, you have to build a good relationship with him. Otherwise, you won’t be able to reach him in the future.”
“It’s too early to say all this now. I feel that Senior Zhang Wenbin is not inferior to him. The two of them just have their own strengths and weaknesses.”
“That’s right. Now that Senior Zhang has become the Fourth Elder’s disciple, he has long broken through to the third level of the Enlightenment Realm. His realm is the highest among the younger generation. Can a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator like Fang Yuan compare to him?”
The people on the other side were starting to form a crowd, and the voices of conversation were getting louder and louder. It seemed that there were even signs of an argument.
“Do you people have nothing to do after eating your fill?”
One of the elder elders, who had a full beard and looked ferocious, narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted indifferently. “Everyone, go to the mine and mine for a day. Don’t come back until you have obtained ten primeval stones.”
The group of disciples immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
Fang Yuan glanced at the identity token on the other party’s waist and was a little surprised. He then bowed and said, “Greetings, First Elder and Second Elder. Disciple Fang Yuan.”
Second Elder only glanced at him and raised his eyebrows with a look of appreciation.
“You are really amazing, you have reached the Enlightenment Realm so quickly?”
“No need to be so polite. Today, we two old men are here to discuss something with you.”
Fang Yuan was stunned. Why were these two elders looking for him?
“Don’t worry, it’s not a bad thing.”
Although the Second Elder had a fierce expression, his tone was very gentle. “Do you know that recently, the sect has been preparing for many matters regarding the Dao seeking trial?”
Fang Yuan nodded lightly. He knew about the Dao seeking trial.
This was a grand event for the sect’s elders to select disciples after every outer sect competition in the past.
The disciples who failed to be selected in the competition could use this opportunity to become the personal disciples of the elders. Their status would be even higher than ordinary inner sect disciples.
However, Fang Yuan did not have any elders that he wanted to rely on, so he did not care.
Personal disciples only had slightly higher monthly salaries than ordinary inner sect disciples. With a master to guide them in cultivation, the other benefits were just so-so.
Fang Yuan’s Gu worms could cultivate on their own, and with the help of the system, it didn’t matter if he had their guidance or not.
Looking at their somewhat mischievous expressions, Fang Yuan immediately understood the intentions of these two people.
“You two elders want to take me as your disciple?”
“That’s right, choose one of us.”
The First Elder stroked his beard lightly. This time in the outer sect competition, Fang Yuan had directly broken two records. His performance was too outstanding and he had already attracted the attention of the sect’s higher-ups. If they didn’t rope him in now, the good seedling would be snatched away by others.
The Second Elder immediately expressed his stance. He took out a box from his sleeve and inside it was a Gold grade Gu worm egg.
“If you agree to be my disciple, this will be yours. How about it?”
The First Elder immediately said, “Same goes for me.”
“Senior brother, what do you mean by that? Your hands are full of support-type Gu worms. Mine are combat-type. If Fang Yuan follows you, wouldn’t he be burying his talents?” The Second Elder mocked him out of the blue.
First Elder was a little unhappy, but he had never been good with words. Moreover, Second Elder was speaking the truth, and he did not know how to refute.
After holding it in for a long time, he only said one sentence.
“Let’s have a fair competition.”
“Pfft, Senior, there’s no benefit for me to compete with you. Even if you compete with me, I won’t be happy.”
Second Elder laughed out loud. This senior of his was big and had a high status, but it was a pity that he had a big mouth. He did not have much of a presence in the sect, and the disciples basically had no impression of him.
As long as Fang Yuan’s brain was normal, he would not choose that dumb gourd.
Fang Yuan was silent.
To be honest, he had a headache.
Both of them were elders with high positions in the sect. They could be said to be the two strongest people apart from the sect master Gu Zhenren.
If he joined any one of them, he would offend the other.
When the two big shots got into an argument, it definitely would not result in a fight, but he would be the unlucky one.
Just as he was in a difficult situation, another person came from outside.
He looked closely and saw that it was the examiner from the outer sect competition.
“Disciple greets the two elders.”
The Second Elder did not give him a good look and asked in a muffled voice, “What are you doing here?”
The examiner cupped his hands respectfully and said, “Under the orders of the sect master, I summon inner disciple Fang Yuan to wait in the main hall.”
“…”
The two of them looked at each other, knowing that they had no chance.
At this time, Gu Zhenren was looking for Fang Yuan, so he must have the same idea as them, wanting to take Fang Yuan as a disciple.
Second Elder felt it was a pity, but he did not dare to disobey the sect master’s orders, so he shook his head and left.
First Elder patted Fang Yuan’s shoulder, sighed and followed the Second Elder.
In the end, only Fang Yuan and the examiner were left.
“Are we going?”
The examiner smiled and said, “The sect master did not insist for you to go. If you are not willing, no one will come to look for you in the future.”
Fang Yuan also chuckled. “Let’s make a trip. After all, the sect master has helped me out of my predicament. Otherwise, I really didn’t know how to deal with it.”
“Alright, follow me..”
