Gu Daoist Master Chapter 7

A week flew by in a flash.

"Human is the spirit of all living things; Gu is the true essence of the world. There are thousands types of Gu existing in this world. They are innumerable. They live in our surroundings; inside the ore underground, in the bush, or even inside the bodies of those beasts."

"In the humans consistently reproduced lifecycle, the former sages have gradually discovered the miracle of Gu. People who have opened their vain aperture, and urged their primeval Qi to raise, cultivate and control those Gu, for a variety of purposes, are called Gu Masters."

"And you guys, at the Sacrificial Ceremony seven days ago, have successfully opened up your vain aperture, congealing the Primeval Sea. This represents a Gu Master at level one."

Inside the mountain stronghold' schoolhouse, the Elder slowly explained.

In front of him, there were fifty-seven young men who were sitting straight, paying absolute attention to his lecture.

The powerful and miraculous image of a Gu Master had soon been carved deep inside these youngsters' hearts. Thus, what the Elder said was all incredibly interesting to them.

Right then, a young man raised his hand. When the Elder allowed, he stood up and asked, "Respectable Elder, when I was young, I only knew a Gu Master would be divided into level one, level two, etc. Can you give us more details on that?"

The Gu Yue mastered nodded, waved his hand signaling for the young man to sit down, "There is a total of nine grand stages for a Gu Master. From top to bottom, it is level one, level two, level three, then all the way to level nine. In each level, it will be divided into Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Peak, four small stages. You guys have just become a Gu Master, Beginner level one."

"If you diligently cultivate, afterward, your cultivation base would naturally be enhanced. You could then even reach level two or three. Of course, the higher the apt.i.tude is, the more opportunities it is that you have to advance to higher level."

"A level D apt.i.tude's Primeval Sea takes up about two to three parts of your vain aperture. The maximum stages you could achieve are level one to two. Four to five parts are what the Primeval Sea of a grade C apt.i.tude could reach. Normally, they will be at level two. Only a few could luckily break through The Beginner level three. With a person that gets a grade B in apt.i.tude, their Primeval Sea would be about six to seven parts. They could cultivate to level three or even four. Ranked A in apt.i.tude would have a Primeval Sea that took up eight to nine parts of their vain apertures. Such person will obviously be the most gifted. They are the people most suitable to cultivate. They could even achieve level five."

"About the level six of the Gu Masters, they are all legends. I also don't know the details. Our Ancient Moon Clan doesn't have anyone who has surpa.s.sed level six. But there is a master at level five, and also level four."

The youngsters all had their ears perking straight up, eyes beaming with dazzling light.

Everyone unconsciously looked at the person who was sitting in the front row - Gu Yue Fang Zheng. He was a grade A apt.i.tude. Their eyes were filled with admiration as well as jealousy.

At the same time, there were also people who turned to look at the corner in the last row.

At the corner beside the window, Gu Yue Fang Yuan was lying on the table sleeping.

"Look, he is sleeping." Someone softly said.

"He has been sleeping for the whole week; does he not even think about waking up?" Another person pouted.

"Not only that, I heard that he doesn't even return home at night, and only wanders around the village."

"There are people who have seen him, not only once, holding his wine jug, dead drunk outside. Luckily, these few years, it seems the village has already been cleared up, andis quite safe." Small news started to spread as those cla.s.smates had gathered around them.

"Haizz, it is absolutely a hard strike. He himself has been a genius for so many years. It really is unimaginable that he ended up only to be a grade C, haha."

"Not only that. Turned out his own blood brother was measured out to be a grade A. Now, he is the center of attention, receiving the best treatment. Didi is in heaven while gege is staying on the ground, tsk tsk..."

Hearing the discussion was getting louder and louder, the Elder's brows were already displaying his annoyances.

In the whole cla.s.sroom, every young man was sitting up straight, emanating light of vitality. Hence, Fang Yuan who was lying on the table sleeping became even more eye-catching.

"He is still so dispirited even after a whole week. Tsk, I have certainly been mistaken before. How can someone like him be a genius?" The Elder coldly snorted inside. With these circ.u.mstances, he had soon talked to Fang Yuan several times. However, it was useless. Fang Yuan still did what he wanted to do. He slept through every lecture, making the elderly teacher who was in charge extremely angry.

"Fine, so what if it was a grade C? If he couldn't even bear such trauma and kept on being like this, it would be hard to believe in him. On the contrary, it will be a waste of the clan's resources." The Elder was incredibly disappointed with Fang Yuan.

Compared to Fang Yuan who was just a grade C apt.i.tude, his didi Fang Zhang was a grade A. He was the one that should be worthy for the clan to put their great efforts to nourish.

As the schoolhouse's Elder thought about that, he continued talking, "In the history of our clan, there are many supreme masters. Among them, there are two supreme masters at level five. One was the first generation clan's head. He also is our ancestor, the founder of the Ancient Moon Mountain Stronghold. The other is the fourth generation clan's head. His talents are excellent. He had cultivated until he broke through level five of a Gu Master. If he wasn't sneakily attacked by that despicable and shameless Hua Jiu monk, he might have been able to reach level six of a Gu Master. Haizz....."

When talking till here, Gu Yue Master deeply exhaled.

The youngsters sitting below the platform angrily stood up, yelling,

"It was all because of that cunning devilish Hua Jiu monk!"

"It's a pity that our fourth generation clan's head was too kind-hearted. He had died young."

"I regretted not being born hundreds of years earlier. If not, whenever I saw that demon, I would definitely expose his disgusting face."

There was not a single person in the Ancient Moon clan that didn't know of the allusion between the fourth generation clan's head and Hua Jiu the monk.

Hua Jiu the monk was also a level five Gu Master. He was famous among the Demon Way for being a lifelong pervert. Several hundred years ago, he sneaked into the Green Thatch Mountain in an attempt to commit a crime inside the mountain stronghold. However, it had resulted in him being pierced through by the fourth generation clan's head. After an earth-shaking fierce battle, Hua Jiu the monk was beaten up until he was kneeling on the ground asking for mercy. The fourth generation clan's head with his kind-hearted nature had intended to spare his life. But then Hua Jiu the monk abruptly rebelled. He sneaked an attack and severely wounded the fourth generation clan's head.

The clan's head had been enraged. He savaged Hua Jiu the monk on the spot. Nevertheless, he was so heavily wounded that he couldn't make it out alive. He then soon let go of this world.

Therefore, to every member of the Ancient Moon clan, the fourth generation clan's head was a hero that had died for the mountain stronghold.

"Hua Jiu the monk....." Being publicly condemned by the schoolhouse's elder, Fang Yuan who was sitting in the corner slowly opened his sleepy dazed eyes.

He stretched his back, asking without any resentment, "How did this Hua Jiu monk die? I have wondered around the mountain stronghold for countless of time but why can I still not be able to find his legacy?"

From what he remembered, around two months afterwards, a Gu Master in the clan who was constantly drinking due to being heartbroken. He was dead drunk then, lying outside the mountain stronghold. Afterward, the fragrance of wine started to spread around, it then carelessly attracted a Wine Gu.

The Gu Master rejoiced and wanted to capture it. The Wine Gu frantically ran away while the Gu Master constantly chased after it. Following the Wine Gu's trace, he discovered a mysterious cave connecting to the ground below.

The Wine Gu was a precious Gu. This Gu Master who was still slightly drunk took the risk and entered the cave, following it to the secretive underground. After that, he discovered the corpse of Hua Jiu the monk, along with the legacy he left behind.

The Gu Master returned to the mountain stronghold, immediately reported everything he had found. This had instantly shaken the entire clan.

Moreover, that Gu Master had gained many benefits from this. His cultivation base had started to surged and lovers who had left him from before went back to him. He then temporarily became the most prominent hero at that time.

"It's a pity that I only knew of the news, but not of its particular location At that time I obviously didn't think that one they I would have been reborn. Hua Jiu the monk, where could you possibly be dead at?"

Those few days, he had bought lots of wine, then went wandering outside of the mountain stronghold at nightfall. He wanted to borrow the fragrance of wine to attract that Wine Gu. Unfortunately, he couldn't find that Wine Gu. The result had really made the people incredibly disappointed.

"If I can find that Wine Gu and then cultivate it into a Vitality Gu, it would be far better than the clan's Moonlight Gu. April has come in a blink. Time is obviously not waiting for me." Fang Yuan deeply sighed. His glance turned towards the scenery outside of the window.

There was the blue sky with white clouds floating; the greenish mountain range endlessly spread out. There was a bamboo forest near him.

This was the special spear bamboo that only existed at the Green Thatch Mountain. The tall standing bamboo was like a straight line, with sharp and pointy tips like spears.

Some newly grown bamboo seemed to have grown further in the forest. The soft shoots that had grown out were covered with a yellow-green color. Pretty and colorful freckles sometimes fell on the branches.

The coming spring wind covered the verdant hills, and green waters with a fresh aura sprinkled on the whole world.

Without knowing, the lecture was almost coming to an end. The schoolhouse's Elder finally announced, "Next week, I will teach you guys how to meditate as well as how to look into the vain aperture Primeval Sea yourselves. That means how to sit down and urge the Primeval Qi in your body. Now is the time for you guys to cultivate your Vitality Gu. After this lecture, you guys will have to go to the Gu Chamber, choosing your Gu. After choosing your Gu, you can return home to continue cultivating. When it is time to cultivate the Gu, come back to the schoolhouse. At the same time, this will also be your first examination. Whoever could take the first position would be rewarded with a generous sum of twenty Primeval Stones."

What!

After that, the entire schoolhouse was standing up and loudly cheering.

"What would be a good choice for me when cultivating the Gu?" The starlight inside Fang Yuan's eyes abruptly flickered then disappeared in a flash.
