Fang Yuan continued to watch the scene unfold.
"Hehe, generous hospitality? You sure have the guts to say that you two-faced knave! I was entirely sincere in coming to trade with you, using prival stones to buy your clan's moon orchids at a fair price. It was you who was harboring evil intentions, pretending to greet and take in like an honored guest, telling to take a seat at your banquet, intending to lace my liquor with a poisonous gu. You all have been looking down on way too much, I have made a living under the sky with the na of Flower Wine, how could I possibly be poisoned this way?"
The Flower Wine Monk pointed at the kneeling fourth generation clan leader, sneering while continuing, "If you cooperated fairly none of this would have happened. In the end you just wanted to use my head to raise your reputation and fa among the Righteous Path, you only have yourself to bla for dying!"
"Sir, please spare my worthless life!" The fourth generation clan head shouted in dismay, his knees scraping against the ground, he quickly crawled over to the Flower Wine Monk's feet and hugged his thigh.
"Sir, my clan has a spirit spring which produces prival stones, we also planted huge numbers of moon orchids in an underground cave. I am willing to take in your Enslavent Gu and beco your servant, my life and death are at your whim, I am willing to devote such servitude to you!"
The Flower Wine Monk narrowed his eyes, his anger had already dissipated sowhat. His eyes flashed and he said, "Hmph, the Enslavent Gu is extrely rare, it is a Rank 5 Gu, do you really think I would have one? However you have been infected by my Single Gate Poison Gu, only I can cure the poison so I'm not afraid of you disobeying. Since that is the case, your clan has to give 3,000 stalks of moon orchids every week in addition to 3,000 prival stones. I will co around every now and then to pick up the goods and temporarily cure your poison, sparing your useless life."
"Thank you so much for your rcy, sir! Thank you so much for your rcy, sir!" The fourth generation clan head cried repeatedly, kowtowing non-stop. His head bled continuously as it bumped against the mountain rock.
"Hmph, stop kowtowing, I despise groveling people like you the most! What so called Gu Yue genius, strong Rank 5 fighter, how unworthy of your na. You better serve properly. This is also regarding your life… Urgh!" The Flower Wine Monk suddenly cried out, his face making a horrified expression.
He kicked away the fourth generation clan head with his leg, his body swaying. He frantically backtracked a few big steps, yelling at the fourth generation clan head, "How do you still have Gu?"
The fourth generation clan head was kicked in the pit of his stomach and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He got up with a painstaking effort nevertheless, his face revealing a scheming smile. "Heh heh heh, anybody has the right to punish people of the Demonic Faction! This gu is called Moonshadow, it is the best at hiding. Even though it is only Rank 4, but it has the ability to restrict the usage of the prival sea and prival essence. Demon, you and I have been fighting fiercely, you don't have many Gu on you anymore, how could you possibly restrain the Moonshadow Gu? Just obediently surrender and beco my servant, as long as you serve until I am happy, you will still have a chance to live!"
The Flower Wine Monk flew into a rage and roared, "To hell with you!"
His voice had barely faltered away when his body surged forward like a bolt of electricity, a punch landing on the fourth generation clan head's sternum.
The fourth generation clan leader did not expect the Flower Wine Monk to be so radical; even if his prival sea was threatened, the Flower Wine Monk was unwilling to compromise. A huge force ca and the fourth generation clan head flew into the air, his body falling onto the ground like a broken sack.
He spouted out a huge mouthful of fresh blood.
"Have you gone mad, we could have totally settled this over a discussion…" He stared daggers at the Flower Wine Monk, his lips moving with great effort. His sentence went unfinished, for his legs gave way and his head crooked to the side as he died.
"Clan head!"
"n of the Demonic path are all insane."
"Kill him, kill this demon! Avenge the clan leader!"
"He has been inflicted by the Moonshadow Gu, he can't use his prival essence anymore, over a ti even his prival essence will be threatened."
The elders who were watching at the sidelines all roared in fury and sward the area.
"Ha ha ha, all those courting death, co at if you think you can take my life!" The Flower Wine Monk cried into the air. Facing the elders charging at him, he rushed at them headfirst.
A fierce battle ensued and the Flower Wine Monk quickly gained the upper hand. Very soon all the elders had collapsed onto the ground, so of them injured and the rest dead. Just as the Flower Wine Monk was about to finish off the surviving elders, his facial expression suddenly changed and he covered a hand over his abdon. "Damn it!"
"I'll co back in future to deal with you lot," said the Flower Wine Monk. He stared daggers at the elders and his body moved like electricity as he fled into the mountain woods, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
With that, it was over.
It continued to repeat itself over and over against the wall, playing in an endless loop.
Fang Yuan quickly found the source- a Audio-Visual Gu. This gu could easily feed on light and as such had survived up till now, and had clearly been left by the Flower Wine Monk as evidence for soone to find.
Success!
Found the Flower Wine Monk's Inheritance!
Reward: Liquor Worm (x 1)
'The reward is another Liquor Worm?'- Fang Yuan thought to himself.
That was odd, as it was what he got for finding the inheritance in the first place. The effect of the Liquor Worm, that is, its ability to increase the quality of one's prival essence, was not additive. One could not use two Liquor Worms and increase it by two minor realms.
If anything, having another Liquor Worm was just a burden as you'd have to find enough food for it. That wasn't a problem right now so long as he kept this second one in his inventory, but it was of little use either.
However, it was not that he didn't have a use for a second Liquor Worm.
He was just a bit surprised that the system knew about it.
Two Rank 1 Liquor Worms could be fused to make the Four Flavors Liquor Worm, which was a Rank 2 gu and useful for even Rank 2 Gu Masters.
However, that recipe was currently unknown as it would be invented in the future.
Yet, this system seed to know about it- why else would it hand him a second one?
Putting things from the system aside, several things began to slowly co together in Fang Yuan's head.
For one, the roles of the fourth generation clan head and the Flower Wine Monk were actually reversed when it ca to what had actually happened in the stories told in the village! It was the fourth generation clan head who had acted in a despicable manner, not the other way around.
It now beca clear as to why the story of the person who had found this inheritance went down the way that it did.
