Chapter 109: Tit For Tat

Fang Yuan and Elder Long entered the hall and found Gu Zhenren flipping through a book on the side, very engrossed.

Elder Long bowed and said respectfully, “Long Zhen greets the sect master.”

Gu Zhenren did not react at all and continued to read by himself.

Fang Yuan did not bow when he saw this and casually went up to take a look.

Master was reading a book about the monster race.

It recorded the strength of the monster race’s Gu control in the ancient times.

It was different from humans who could easily raise up to twenty Gu worms.

The monster race could only have one Gu worm in their entire life.

Moreover, it was connected to their lifeblood, and they would die together.

Because of this, their Gu refinement method was also known as the Vital Gu refinement method.

The Vital Gu was very powerful. It could fuse with the host’s bloodline and complement each other’s abilities, greatly increasing the cultivation speed and advancing rapidly.

Basically, if the same Gu worm was nurtured in the hands of a human genius for a year, advancing it to rank six was already impressive.

But a monster could cultivate it to rank eight, or even rank nine.

In fact, a monster with outstanding talent could even cultivate it to the legendary stage of Nature and Man Unity, allowing the Gu worm to fuse with the monster itself and become a part of the living body, allowing the Gu worm to be at the beck and call of the host.

This also meant that the Gu worm’s ability became the host’s ability.

The monster race itself evolved from a powerful demon beast. Not only did they have innate divine strength, but they also had a more unique affinity with various elements than the human race.

With the combination of many advantages, the human race suffered a lot in the Great War back then.

An ordinary monster on the battlefield could often kill several human elites of the same realm.

If it was not for Yan Shen Tianzun who fought against so many at once, the monster race would probably be ruling Jiuzhou now.

However, after the monster race lost the battle, this Vital Gu refinement method also fell into the hands of the human race.

Although changes were made to the method due to the difference in physique between humans and monsters, and the effects of the Vital Gu could not be fully displayed, it also successfully avoided the disadvantage of only being able to nurture one Gu worm.

For example, Wan Qian’s Cold Yin Gu and Bai Yao’s unknown Gu worm were both refined using the Vital Gu refinement method.

Fang Yuan was slightly moved.

Should he find an opportunity to flip through the relevant books and refine his Soul Devouring Gu and Sunlight Gu into Vital Gu?

If the abilities of these two Gu worms could be turned into skills that he could personally use, it would be very cool, especially the Yang Flame Incarnation!

It was simply too awesome!

Gu Zhenren slowly closed the book and frowned slightly, as if he did not find what he wanted.

“Master, would you like me to help?”

Fang Yuan asked at the right time.

“Oh? You’re here.”

Gu Zhenren seemed to have just noticed him and smiled kindly, and pointed in a direction. “Go to the bookshelf over there and help me bring all the books about the monster race over.”

Fang Yuan nodded and did as he was told.

Gu Zhenren continued to rummage through the bookshelf where he was at. At the same time, he asked without turning his head back, “Elder Long, how’s the investigation of Zhang Wenbin’s case going?”

“Reporting to sect master, there’s… no progress in this case.”

“You really have the nerve to say that.”

Gu Zhenren seemed to have known this for a long time. He didn’t get angry and continued to flip through another book.

Long Zhen felt that it was a bit strange. Gu Zhenren shouldn’t have reacted like this, but he didn’t think about it and continued to reporting following the story that he had already prepared.

“Sect master, please calm down. I’ve tried my best…”

“However, I followed Junior Wang… that is, Martial Nephew Fang’s words and investigated step by step. I found a lot of things that didn’t make sense.”

“One of the most suspicious points was that Zhang Wenbin went into seclusion as a cover to secretly meet with someone from the Gu Demon Sect.”

“I verified it with the Tracking Gu, but I found that Zhang Wenbin’s aura only remained in the inn, and there was no trace of him leaving.”

“This means that Zhang Wenbin really didn’t leave the inn, so how could he secretly meet with someone from the Gu Demon Sect?”

“Obviously, this is something made up by Martial Nephew Fang. As for why he did this… Martial Nephew Fang, Do you care to explain?”

Fang Yuan, who was at the side of the hall, took a monster race book from the top of the bookshelf and held it in his arms along with the other books. He curled his lips and ignored him.

He walked to Gu Zhenren and handed over more than ten books.

“Master, they are all here.”

Gu Zhenren picked up the book at the top, opened it, threw it onto the bookshelf, and picked up another one to read.

Long Zhen immediately became embarrassed.

The two of them ignored him, making him look like a clown.

But he still forced himself to urge Fang Yuan. “Martial Nephew Fang, since you’re not talking, are you feeling guilty?”

Only then did Fang Yuan raise his head to look at him, and instead of answering, he asked, “Martial Uncle Long, you’ve been a consular elder for at least fifteen years, right?”

Long Zhen was confused. “More than seventeen years, why did you bring this up?”

Fang Yuan rolled his eyes. “Even I, who has never done anything like tracking, know that there is a Gu called the Stealth Gu, and a talisman called the Stealth talisman. When used together, it can hide one’s own aura. Zhang Wenbin’s actions could not be seen in the light, so naturally, he would have used something similar to hide it.”

“Is that so?”

Long Zhen was not flustered when he heard this. Since he had already expected it, he continued, “Martial Nephew Fang, if Zhang Wenbin was as cautious as you said, how could you have bumped into him twice while he was having a secret meeting with the person from the Gu Demon Sect? Isn’t this a little too far-fetched?”

Fang Yuan’s expression was calm. “In fact, I have seen Zhang Wenbin three times, one of the times on the streets of Fanshu City. Moreover, outer sect disciple Li Tongzhou was also there at that time. If you don’t believe me, you can find him and ask him to swear on the Oath Gu. Elder Long, do you still think that Zhang Wenbin had never gone out?”

Long Zhen was at a loss for words for a moment.

Damn it, it was a mistake!

Fang Yuan had never told him this detail before..
