It's good to do things in the dark, but it's hard to do things in the light

These days, the temperature is getting higher and higher.

 At midday, the sun shone brightly, waving its passion freely.

 With the caravan gone, the business in the inn had cooled down again.

 Fang Yuan stepped into the dining hall and immediately caught the attention of the fellows.

 A familiar face immediately bumbled over with a fawning smile piled on his face, "Hey, gongzi, you're here! Quickly please sit inside."

 "Give me a jar of wine, cut another kilogram of beef, and a few more small dishes." Fang Yuan stepped into the dining hall and walked towards the old seat at the window.

 The fellow's face revealed a difficult look, "My lord, I'm sorry, the last time the merchant caravan came over, the shopkeeper had sold off the green bamboo wine. Now we don't have this wine here anymore."

 Fang Yuan nodded, not surprised, "Then bring me a jar of rice wine, by the way, tell the shopkeeper to brew more green bamboo wine this year, I want to reserve hundreds of jars. As for how much deposit to ask for, you guys do the math first and report it back to me."

 Now that the wine bug had been exposed and hadn't aroused suspicion, there was no need to worry about buying wine at all.

 "Alright, this is something that I will definitely bring to you! Sir, just relax a hundred times." The fellow patted his chest and spoke in a chiseled tone.

 Soon, the food and wine came up.

 Fang Yuan ate and drank while looking out the window.

 In the hot weather, coupled with the fact that it was dinner time, there were few pedestrians on the streets.

 The sun's light shone on the ground, as well as the green hanging bamboo buildings.

 Some barefooted, muddy water-stained mortal farmers, either carrying shovels or flat burdens, walked in front. Apparently they had just finished their farm work and were now rushing towards home.

 Two small children, the front held up a small windmill of bamboo frame, small legs a rush. The back of the chase, crying. It seems that the front of the urchin snatched the windmill.

 At this time two young parasites, wrapped in green belts, walked briskly, acting in a hurry.

 "Get out of the way!" One of the Compass Masters violently pushed away the farmers in front of him.

 The farmers shied away in fear.

 "Hmph." The two young compote masters walked over with a cold and arrogant face.

 Fang Yuan watched, slightly lost in his eyes, part of his mind had been divided inside the empty orifices.

 In the empty orifice, the water film flowed silently, the waves of the bronze true yuan sea were born and destroyed.

 The wine worm sank and floated in the sea of yuan, sometimes rolling comfortably, sometimes completely becoming a round ball.

 The Spring and Autumn Cicada fell into a deep sleep, hiding its form.

 The round-bodied White Ragworm Compass, on the other hand, lifted its wings and flew in the sky above, hovering.

 The White Ragworm Compass was on par with the Black Ragworm Compass, both being rare compotes in the first turn. Their selling price in the market was even higher than wine worms.

 However, although they served the same purpose and had a similar appearance, their paths of advancement from here on out were different.

 The Black Ragworm Compass and the Green Silk Compass were combined to form the Black Mane Compass of the second turn, and then promoted to the Steel Mane Compass of the third turn.

 On the other hand, the best promotion route for the White Ragworm Compass is to combine with the Jade Skin Compass and refine it into the White Jade Compass of the second turn, and then promote it to the Canopy Compass of the third turn.

 The Steel Mane Compulsion could make the composter's hair as hard as steel needles, integrating offense and defense. The Canopy Compulsion made the Compassionist's entire body skin as hard as white jade, and at the same time cut down the effects of attacks like the Moon Blade.

 Fang Yuan's heart was filled with faint delight.

 Getting the White Boar Compulsion was only one aspect, what truly pleased him was the Flower Wine Walker's power inheritance.

 "The White Boar Compass can enhance qi, and the Flower Wine Walker has set up boulders to block the road, it seems that he is letting me refine this White Boar Compass, so that in the future, when I have the strength, I will be able to push away the boulders and continue on my way. This should be the first test."

 "Following the intention of the Flower Wine Walker in arranging this barrier, one can surmise that in the next inheritance, there must be a second and a third barrier. The most crucial thing is to be certain that this power inheritance he set up is not a giant pit trap, but is very sincere."

 "With the help of this inheritance, I'll be able to reach the third turn faster, leave this Qingmao Mountain, and go out and take the lead!"

 What did a Compassionate Master need most to cultivate?

 The answer was only two words - resources.

 If Fang Yuan wanted to cultivate, he needed resources. But the family's resources were limited, and if you wanted resources, you had to fight for them.

 Not only did he need to compete, he also had to win in the competition.

 For him, the more he competed and the more he won, the more his cards were exposed and the more he was feared.

 When the scorn accumulated to a certain extent, it would form a suppression and block his progress.

 Fang Yuan killed a family slave, why didn't the Desert Vein pursue the matter? When he robbed all his peers, why didn't those elders ask for punishment? Fang Yuan rebelled against the family and did not enter the system, why did the patriarch choose to be tolerant?

 It was all because he was weak, he was a C grade qualification.

 They are so self-possessed and powerful that they don't care to fight and kill the weak. Under the family's system, to weigh in with the weak Fang Yuan was not only humiliating and disgraceful, but it would also make people feel cold and heartless, destroying their social network.

 Being weak was Fang Yuan's current layer of protection.

 But as he continued to compete for resources, Fang Yuan would act stronger and stronger. This would make the people pay attention, scorn them, and thus pull them in. Regardless of which camp Fang Yuan chose, he would be suppressed and held back by the other camp.

 And the pulling and suppression would slow down the speed of his growth.

 Fang Yuan was very clear about his situation at this moment. His current situation was very mysterious, he seemed to have offended everyone, but in fact, he had offended no one.

 But with time, as his cultivation increased, this contradiction would arise and intensify.

 Fang Yuan knew that this contradiction would intensify sooner or later, but the later it intensified, the better it would be for his growth.

 Therefore, this Flower Wine Walker's power inheritance had appeared in a truly marvelous way!

 With this power inheritance, he would have invisible resources. With the help of this resource, he would be able to stray outside of the system and take a solitary route, cultivating with ease and secretly building up his strength.

 Once you enter the system, you have to take sides, and even if you are no longer in contention, you will definitely be implicated in politics as well as party disputes.

 Those who enter the system are pawns. You first have to become a qualified pawn before others can use you with confidence. If you are assured to use you, then you can have the opportunity to climb up the ladder, and when you do, you have to be careful not to be treated as an outcast.

 Fang Yuan knew this process too well. Even with a thousand wisdoms, he could not help this pattern. This was the rule!

 The most crucial thing was that he only had a C grade qualification, so for the clan, there was no desire to invest in him. There is always the possibility that he will be treated as an outcast.

 So the best route of development was to develop alone, and in this way, most of the competition could be avoided. In the minds of the cottage executives, the image that had been carefully created earlier could also be maintained.

 "All things in this world are good in the dark and difficult in the light. With the help of the Flower and Wine Walker's power inheritance, I will be able to cultivate in secret and build up my strength without attracting attention or suppression. However, the robbery and extortion must still continue, a sudden interruption will arouse suspicion, and at the same time, I also need yuan stones." Fang Yuan pondered over his future plans.

 He did need Yuan Stones.

 Other people of his age were starting to refine and feed the second compulsion. He, on the other hand, had refined the Little Light Compass and obtained the White Boar Compass. There were a full four parasites.

 In the past, when he fed the moonlight compulsion and the wine bugs, it was nearly one yuan stone per day. Now that he was feeding the parasites, counting the consumption of Yuan Stones per day, it was a little more than two!

 After counting what he needed for cultivation, as well as his living expenses, a day's worth of Yuan Stones would have to be at least five!

 Five Yuan Stones was enough to cover the living expenses of a mortal family of three for five months.

 On his hand, although he had hundreds of Yuan Stones, he couldn't afford to spend them for such a long period of time.

 More crucially, the later one reached the later stages, the greater the spending of a Compassionate Master became. Especially after ascending to the second turn, every time the compotes practiced together, it was a huge expense.

 Thinking about this, Fang Yuan was worried.

 Yuan stones were a problem, relying solely on robbing and extorting fellow students and the savings he had on hand could only delay the outbreak of this problem.

 On top of that, he had another trouble, which was the feeding of the white boar parasites.

 The food of the white ragworm parasites was pork.

 The word "boar" meant pig. The food of the ragworm parasite series was all pork.

 The black and white ragworm parasites both had a large amount of food, one meal every five days, and each meal had to be the meat of a whole adult pig.

 The price of pork in this world is not cheap, mortals will only slaughter a pig and get a little meat on New Year's Eve. Without the large-scale farming technology on Earth, the price of pork and beef, etc., are not affordable for mortals to eat. At the same time, Qingmao Mountain's terrain is steep and the living area is small, how much space can there be for raising livestock?

 Relying on the mountain to eat mountain water to eat water, mountain people can usually occasionally eat pork, most of them are hunters catch and kill the wild mountain pig.

 "It seems that in the future, I will have to hunt and kill pigs for meat myself." A flash of light flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes.

 Relying on acquiring pork in the cottage alone, firstly, it cost Yuan Shi, and secondly, it would attract skeptical gazes... Even if you love eating pork alone, you wouldn't eat it so often and in such large quantities, would you?

 If you were to hunt yourself, not only would this trouble be solved, but you would also be able to alleviate the financial pressure to a greater extent.

 "Buddy, settle the bill!" Thinking of this, Fang Yuan did not hesitate any longer and after settling the bill, he walked out of the inn.

 The academy had been on vacation for the past few days, the purpose of which was to let the trainees refine the second compulsion properly. Fang Yuan decided that he would just make use of this time to go out to the mountain fortress, feel out the situation and then kill the pig for meat.
