Chapter 1314: Purchasing Divine Deer Fruits
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Southern Border, Wu clan.
In a secret cultivation room, Fang Yuan was floating in the air, his expression solemn.
His long hair was fluttering in the air, and all kinds of Gu worm auras rose from his body, mixing with each other.
“The crucial step…” Fang Yuan mumbled, his gaze turning sharp.
He carefully activated a mortal Gu.
This was a metal path mortal Gu and was only rank one.
Activating just this Gu alone naturally had no risks. But the situation now was different.
Bam.
A m.u.f.fled sound spread from Fang Yuan’s body.
Fang Yuan’s body shook violently like he had been electrocuted, his expression was pale and a trace of blood flowed out from the corners of his lips.
“I failed again.” He heaved a long sigh.
He landed on the ground and held his chest while checking his injuries.
“Fortunately, I only used a rank one mortal Gu, these injuries are not much of a problem and there is no need to use Man as Before. I will recover in a couple of days with the sovereign immortal body’s recovery speed.”
Fang Yuan was attempting to further improve the killer move vajra sh.e.l.l.
Immortal killer move vajra sh.e.l.l used rank six Vajra Thought as a core. Fang Yuan had relied on this killer move and strategy to defeat Xia clan’s Gu Immortal, Xia Fei Kuai.
After the matter, Fang Yuan had felt this killer move was still not satisfying enough and still had room for improvement.
Fang Yuan paid attention to this feeling.
He knew his wisdom path and transformation path were both at grandmaster level, such a feeling did not emerge from nowhere and had great value to him.
“Unfortunately, although I have made some progress over these days, there have been little to no results. It seems my attainment level is still not enough, I can only let it be for now.”
Fang Yuan let out a sigh.
In fact, his speed of progress was extremely remarkable compared to other Gu Immortals.
In the past, Vicious Lightning Fiend had used up several years to deduce the immortal killer move lightning deity. He was not even at ten percent of Fang Yuan’s current speed.
However, it was also a wise choice for Fang Yuan to give up.
Because he had a way to rapidly raise his attainment, as long as he raised his attainment levels, he could improve the killer move vajra sh.e.l.l at once.
After Fang Yuan’s transactions of dragonfish, his financial condition had improved, and as such, he had spare energy to try modifying immortal killer moves.
Deducing an immortal killer move was actually very resource consuming. For instance, if the attempt failed, Gu Immortal could suffer backlash and be injured. Gu worms would also be destroyed and would need to be replenished. And if Immortal Gu were damaged, that would be even more troublesome.
But if the attainment level was enough, the killer move could be improved at once, saving large amounts of time, effort and resources.
Fang Yuan’s attainment level barely met the requirements of improving vajra sh.e.l.l, although he could improve it, he would have to pay quite a heavy price.
He thought it over and resolutely gave up on this small project.
After resting for a while, Fang Yuan activated his Gu worms and sent his divine sense into treasure yellow heaven.
Inside treasure yellow heaven, his divine sense moved nimbly and reached a Gu Immortal’s will to converse.
“I will pay one thousand three hundred immortal essence stones for all your divine deer fruits.” Fang Yuan spoke.
This Gu Immortal will’s shook its head and said helplessly: “The price I quoted is already low. You have already come here three times, if you really want to buy, add two hundred immortal essence stones and you can take them away.”
Divine deer fruits were rank six immortal material.
It was not a rare Gu material, but there were few people who sold it because there was not much demand for it.
Fang Yuan, however, needed it to feed vajra thought Immortal Gu.
He had obtained vajra thought Immortal Gu and had to solve its feeding problem.
Fang Yuan did not reply, instead, he sized up the products.
The divine deer fruits in this stall were of good quality, Fang Yuan had strolled several times around treasure yellow heaven and had found the divine deer fruits here were of top quality.
The price was also quite reasonable.
Thus, he had visited this stall several times.
Divine deer fruits were about the size of a baby’s fist and did not grow on trees or plants, instead growing on the antlers of a type of deer desolate beast, fruit deer.
It was a deer that bore fruit.
Fang Yuan had already inquired about the specific name of this desolate beast, and also saw them being sold in treasure yellow heaven.
However, even if he bought a batch of them, the number of divine deer fruits they could produce was a question that needed to be explored.
Any resource had its own cultivation methods.
For instance, Fang Yuan’s dragonfish production was not a result of casual attempts, but was from the insights and experiences of Dong Fang tribe.
This was the acc.u.mulation of a super tribe. As a result, Fang Yuan’s dragonfish were of the best quality, and the production was also smooth, giving higher profits while requiring slightly lower capital.
“I should just buy a portion of divine deer fruits for now to deal with the first feeding of vajra thought Immortal Gu.”
“When I have sufficient funds in the future, I can consider how to raise fruit deers and be able to be self-sufficiently provide for vajra thought Immortal Gu.”
“As for whether I can turn this divine deer fruit’s production into another source of income, that would depend on future opportunities.”
Fang Yuan pondered while communicating with that Gu Immortal will: “Then, let me check again.”
But at this time, the Gu Immortal will in front of Fang Yuan suddenly shook and spoke: “My main body’s divine sense has entered, he says he can discuss the price with you. You should talk it out between yourselves.”
Saying this, the Gu Immortal’s will took a back seat.
Fang Yuan was overjoyed.
He was waiting for this situation.
The Gu Immortal who was selling the divine deer fruits had left the divine deer fruits in treasure yellow heaven and also left a will to look after them.
But although this will could think and communicate, it had to strictly abide by the bottom-line price set by its main body, and this was not negotiable.
But now that the Gu Immortal’s divine sense had come over, Fang Yuan could properly communicate with him about many things.
There were many contents up for discussion.
“I want the divine deer fruits to feed Immortal Gu.”
“If we can reach a consensus, this absolutely won’t be the last transaction.”
“How about it? I will offer one thousand three hundred immortal essence stones.”
Fang Yuan started to negotiate.
The Gu Immortal hesitated: “This is our first interaction, how can I believe you based on just empty promises? Hehehe, forget it, we can reach a deal for one thousand four hundred immortal essence stones.”
“Once we have transacted three times like this, the price can be lowered to one thousand three hundred. What do you think?”
Clearly, this Gu Immortal was not foolish and was quite astute.
Fang Yuan refused: “If I had ample funds, I would not be haggling with you like this. How about one thousand three hundred and fifty?”
That Gu Immortal forced a smile: “Alright. If not for my urgent need for funds and the fact that these divine deer fruits are selling slowly, I would not have agreed to your price.”
One gave the money and the other handed the goods.
Fang Yuan let out a sigh of relief after the transaction was completed. The feeding problem of vajra thought Immortal Gu was settled for the moment.
Now, it was divination tortoise sh.e.l.l Immortal Gu’s turn.
This Immortal Gu fed on kelp.
Naturally, it was not common kelp, but ancient ink kelp, which was a rank six immortal material.
This kelp was complete black like ink, and when its skin was torn, it would dye the surrounding water into pitch-black ink.
Fang Yuan was currently short on funds, so he intended to purchase and store some ancient ink kelps to feed divination tortoise sh.e.l.l Immortal Gu.
He would consider more in the future.
In the aspect of food, day Immortal Gu was much more pleasant. Because it fed on the water of the River of Time, there was no need to think about obtaining its food.
In comparison to divine deer fruits, there were many more sellers of ancient ink kelps in treasure yellow heaven.
But Fang Yuan was not able to make a deal with any of them.
The issue was the price.
But he was not in a hurry, there was still some time left before the next feeding of divination tortoise sh.e.l.l Immortal Gu.
“Fortunately, dragon scale sea area’s construction is finished, as long as it continues to develop like this, I will have plenty of funds in the future.”
“Next is the construction of coiling thread caves to produce regretful spiders on a large scale.”
Fang Yuan had considered it, the market for regretful spiders was huge, especially over in Western Desert. Although the demand was not as large as dragonfish, it was still a lot.
But for the moment, Fang Yuan was tight on funds and needed some time to acc.u.mulate his wealth before he could start this project.
“According to this situation, I estimate that it will be over a month before I am able to gather the first sum of funds and start on the construction of coiling thread caves.”
“Hopefully, Wu clan would have stabilized by then and would let me return to the giant dream realm.”
Wu Yi Hai’s ident.i.ty restricted Fang Yuan’s freedom. Especially under the current situation of Wu clan, it was not good for him to voice out his intention.
Over the course of this month, Wu Yong had led Wu clan to deal with the problems created by the various super forces. There were losses and gains, Wu clan’s prestige sank, but in truth, there was not much damage to their benefits.
Thus, this situation was still continuing.
Wu Yong wanted to regain their reputation, while other super forces were not satisfied and wanted to seize some material benefits.
The confrontation between righteous path forces was different from the demonic path.
Confrontations in the demonic path were fierce and violent, while righteous path confrontations were light like drizzle and often lasted for a long time. Especially when it was a confrontation between super forces with huge a.s.sets, it was difficult for them to fight against each other without reservations, they would not fight to the death.
Fang Yuan’s idle cultivation lifestyle did not last for long.
Some days later, he received another task from Wu Yong.
“Mount Snail? Mountain Moving Old Monster?”
Fang Yuan’s brows slowly started to furrow.
It was not that he did not have the confidence to complete this task, but the current trend of situations was not looking good.
Previously, though Fang Yuan had resolved Frosty Peak’s matter, he had in fact withheld his strength and methods, obtaining a barely pa.s.sable result. He had only created an agreement of five years and had plundered the resources of Frosty Peak.
Although this was an unwritten rule of the righteous path, he had touched the bottom-line.
This was naturally Fang Yuan’s intent, to leave a bad impression on Wu Yong. Higher-ups did not like using such people, and if they sent Fang Yuan away to the super Gu formation earlier, it would match Fang Yuan’s wish.
But Wu clan was indeed short on manpower at present, while its territory was too large. A matter concerning Mount Snail had happened suddenly, Wu Yong had no choice but to use Fang Yuan to deal with this problem.
