Poison Vow Gu was a one time consumable type Gu. It's appearance is a purple red worm, only finger size and has a dangerous looking mouth.

Poison Vow Gu is used to make an agreement with other person that cannot be broken. It's ability contained the law of restriction, once it were implanted, it stays in a Gu Master's body to restrict them. If a one of the side violate the agreement, the Poison Vow Gu would automatic activated, explodes and the person will turn into a puddle of blood and instantly die.

'Fang Yuan knows the ways to bypass the Poison Vow Gu but does not have the access to those methods yet.'

There are 2 methods to bypass it's restriction : one is to violate the agreement and let Poison Vow Gu activate and at the same time use healing Gu bring back life force of the person. Second method involves using Eating One's Words Gu to counter the vow.

To refine Eating One's Words Gu required Lion Roar Gu, Big Strength Defecate Gu and Paper Crane Gu as refining material. Big Strength Defecate Gu was a rare strength path Gu which was not available in small clan like Gu Yue nor it was be available in caravan.

Mo Bei was not afraid that he would not find Poison Vow gu in the caravan since it was the most commonly gu used to set up agreement. The knowledge about this gu was even taught in the academy lectures.

It was not mentioned in the novel that lower ranked Poison Vow gu existed but Mo Bei knew that there were indeed Rank 2 Poison vow gu. At his stage, purchasing a Rank 3 gu would be too costly.

Mo Bei immediately went to the mortal Gu house where the rank 2 Gu were displayed. He asked around for Poison Vow Gu and finally purchased it for 150 primeval stones. He also purchased Rank 1 Water stream gu. Earlier, when he was going through the storeroom in his manner, he had accidentally stumbled upon Rank 2 Lunar Stream Gu recipe which required Moonlight gu and Water stream gu as refinement materials.

The next day, caravan was getting ready for leaving the Gu Yue village. Mo Bei was watching the stalls being packed up as the gu masters and mortals prepared for the harsh journey after leaving the Gu Yue clan.

At one of the wine stalls, Mo Bei watched Jia Jin Sheng talking with a Rank 1 gu master. Jia Jin Sheng had a smile on his face. 'Jia Jin Sheng is still alive.', Mo Bei sighed in relief.

'I have atleast averted the disaster. Now the Divine Investigator Tie Xue Leng will not come for a long time and hence First Gen Gu Yue won't be awaken and also Lord Sky Crane will not come here. In Fang Yuan's memory of his 1st life, the Qing Mao Mountain exploded due to Bai Ning Bing not being able to control his aperture as he had one of the the ten heavenly extreme body.' Mo Bei was feeling happy as he thought of the events that occured in the novel.

'Bai Ning Bing, huh? I almost forgot about him. I would to see him but not now. He's a psychopath and fighting maniac. He would attack me as soon as we meet.'

5 days later,

The breath of summer had faintly started to come around. The weather became increasingly sunny and cloudless, sweeping away the sentimental breath of spring, and the temperatures slowly rose.

At the training grounds in the academy, sounds of punches and kicks could be heard.

After exchanging over some blows, Gu Yue Shan Zhi was kicked in the abdomen by Fang Yuan, making him leave the arena.

The martial arts instructor stood before the stage. He immediately declared, "Gu Yue Shan Zhi has exited the stage, Gu Yue Fang Yuan wins for the 32nd consecutive time!"

Except Gu Yue Mo Bei and some of the weaker students, almost everyone else had gone to the stage.

"Fang Yuan is too good, basically no one can beat him! Only Mo Bei has the chance to defeat him."

"Sigh, but the instructor said today is practice combat! Each of us needs to go up and fight once."

"Next! Gu Yue Mo Bei." Seeing that there were no challengers coming up, the instructor called out Mo Bei.

'So it's finally my turn.' He knew Fang Yuan was very tired but he didn't want to defeat him.

Fang Yuan and Mo Bei tacitly exchanged a few blows and then Mo Bei gave up and left the stage.

"What's wrong with all of you? No matter how strong he is, Fang Yuan is only fifteen years old, he's one of your peers! He has the same age as you, eats the same food as you and drinks the same water. He does not have three heads or six arms, he's not a monster! Pluck up your courage and show me the pride of the Gu Yue clan within you! Also, Gu Yue Mo Bei, you should not give up on the fight before giving your best." The instructor yelled, trying his best to motivate the students while staring angrily at Fang Yuan and Mo Bei.

"With all due respect, Elders have taught us that never to participate in losing battles and know when to move forward and back. My abilities are far inferior to Fang Yuan and hence do not wish to suffer a humiliating defeat. I am the Mo family's young master, after all."

The martial arts instructor was speechless. 'How shameless can you be!'

"But he is too strong, we cannot beat him."

"The classmates who fought him are in such a pitiful state. Shan Zhi got beaten until he vomited blood."

"Fang Yuan is getting more ruthless with his strikes, instructor, we do not dare to fight him."

The other students spoke softly, weakly retorting.

The instructor wanted to retort and give threats to Fang Yuan. However, considering young master Mo Bei's relations with Fang Yuan, he gave up and announced Fang Yuan as the winner and gave 20 primeval stones as the prize.

Fang Yuan was also a bit surprised at how easily he instructor gave up. His main purpose was to maintain his ruthless image. 'There are many benefits of being associated with Mo Family's young master. If I could make him as my pawn, there are many more benefits to be earned.'

Fang Yuan and Mo Bei left the grounds together. At the same time, Fang Zheng and Chi Cheng were staring angrily at them. They both had been defeated badly by Fang Yuan.

"Fang Yuan, come to visit me tonight for fighting lessons. Also, I want to talk about something important which requires your cooperation."

Fang Yuan agreed to the same and left while walking towards his academy hostel room.

✵✵✵

Night time at the Mo Family's manor

After fighting session was over, Mo Bei spoke, "Freshen up and then come to my room on the 2nd floor."

After 10 minutes, the both of them were sitting in the room.

"What is this about?", Fang Yuan inquired.

"Fang Yuan, I will come to the point. I have recently found the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance."

Fang Yuan eyes widened in shock. He did not expect this when he visited Mo Bei's home.
