《Reincarnation (Reverend Insanity Fan-Fic)》Ch 18 - Shocked (2)
Advertisement
There were 2 treasures which Fang Yuan was desperately looking for in the Gu Yue clan. One was the Mudskin Toad which he already found in gambling rocks. Other one was the Flower Wine Monk's Inheritance.
It was already 2 months since Fang Yuan had reborn and he had spent many nights searching for the liquor worm but was unable to find it. He felt it was now the right time to give up on this treasure. But who knew that when he almost gave up, heavens would present it right in front of him.
Fang Yuan immediately restrained his emotions and asked suspiciously, "Why are you telling me this? I am sure there are many people who can be of much more use."
Inside his head, he was thinking 'How did Mo Bei come across Flower Wine Monk's inheritance? In my past life, it was someone else who had found it. Is it that Mo family always knew of this inheritance and kept it to themselves? No that does not seem to be the case. Also, Mo Bei was extremely ordinary in my past life and died in the wolf tide. Or did he?', Fang Yuan had forgotten many of his memories and could not recall with exact clarity.
"Its because if their cultivation is high, they can choose to deal with me, or abandon the deal and give the details of this to the Gu Yue clan head. I do not like giving the decision-making to others. The so-called prestigious reputation of Mo Family will be at risk if the word got out." Saying so, Mo Bei revealed Rank 1 middle stage aura as a threat that if Fang Yuan does not agree to the deal, he might not leave here alive. Even though killing between members of Gu Yue clan was forbidden, killing C grade talent Fang Yuan would not cause any big problem to the whole of Mo Faction. Both Mo Bei and Fang Yuan knew this.

Fang Yuan was shocked once again. He did not expect Mo Bei to be the first to break through to Rank 1 middle stage.
During the past 5 days, after the caravan left, Mo Bei had continuously spent days to refine his aperture. He finally refined it to Water wall and reached middle stage before contacting Fang Yuan.
"Hehe." Fang Yuan laughed dryly, his suspicions somewhat gone, "That last sentence is really a reasonable explanation. But why me?"
"I have observed your fighting skills and wits as well as the usage skills of your gu worms. Even after you were announced as a C Grade, you did not lose your composure. I feel that you have lots of potential. I have been stuck at the part of this inheritance and feel that by working alongside you, I might be able to advance."
"You seem to think very highly of me, brother", Fang Yuan replied.
"It's you whose being polite. Would you like to explore the inheritance with me? I have a Rank 2 Poison Vow gu which can create binding agreements between gu master of upto Rank 2. It's effectiveness goes down when used by Rank 3 Gu masters or higher."
Fang Yuan did not expect Mo Bei's preparation to be so thorough. He knew that he cannot leave the Mo Bei's residence since he knew something he shouldn't. The best outcome of not accepting the deal would be the use of Rank 2 Poison Vow gu on him to not reveal anything about their talk today.
After thinking for sometime, Fang Yuan accepted the deal and both activated the Poison Vow gu.
The terms of the vow were that from now on Fang Yuan and Mo Bei would share all the gains 50:50. Also, Fang Yuan would take lead in attacking any monsters they encounter. No one of them are to intentionally hurt each other or be the cause of each other's death. Fang Yuan is to take care of Mo Bei's safety whenever possible. The secrets of Flower Wine Monk's inheritance are not to be revealed to anyone unless consented by both parties.

Mo Bei went through the terms and felt very satisfied. He could finally feel that advancing in the Inheritance was possible now. He could not defeat so many stone monkeys and needed Fang Yuan's help. It would also correspond to the original story and Mo Bei would know what to expect.
"To show my sincerity, I would gift you a gu worm which will help you in your cultivation journey very much" saying so Mo Bei then revealed a gu worm in his hand.
Fang Yuan was shocked for the third time. "White Boar Gu!"
One must understand that a 500 year old gu immortal being shocked once by a Rank 1 gu master was very rare. Twice being very abnormal and thrice being nigh impossible unless heaven and earth falls apart. However, such a situation really occured.
Rank 1 White Boar Gu went in the market upwards of around 600 primeval stones. It was enough to make even Rank 2 or Rank 3 gu masters greedy. Giving such a gu as gift was simply luxurious.
"It's food requirements will taken care of by you. You know it's food requirements, right? Also, do not exceed the usage by 15 minutes daily."
"Thank you brother for such kind considerations.", Fang Yuan showed a genuine smile while accepting the White Boar Gu.
"It's more worthy in the hands of Gu master such as yourself. Let's go visit the inheritance grounds right now."
Both Fang Yuan and Mo Bei left the Mo Family manor to the Flower Wine Monk's Inheritance.

A bloody shower poured over the land as the streaks of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the ill-intentioned gathering of ravens above. Nevermore, nevermore, quoth the ravens. “We can see that this malformed creature has twelve pairs of ribs like humans, but also has a “transverse bone” that humans do not possess…” In the medical school, Gu Jun continued bringing down his scalpel, illustrating the abnormal thoracic structure of the malformed cadaver on the dissection table to the surrounding students. Ominous and treacherous times had descended! Truth and logic had crumbled, order warped into a frenzy. Humanity can only forge ahead through the power of intelligence and wisdom.

The Gods have cursed the world of Salome. They have used the planet and its inhabitants as their playground and toys for thousands of years—inciting wars between nations because of their stubbornness and pride and creating creatures of destruction that threaten the peace, tranquility, and existence of humanity. When granted the opportunity to acquire the throne of the Gods themselves, Captain Kyros Aleister of the Soterian Military seeks to take full advantage of that precious chance. He is more than willing to forsake his humanity, become what he despises, and rid the world of the cancers that are the Gods. However, he must battle against over one-hundred other people blessed with the same opportunities as him. (The lovely cover art is provided by https://zinganza.wixsite.com/portfolio)
