Fang Yuan aimed his right hand, and threw out a moonblade. The eerie blue moonblade flew through the sky in an arc, precisely hitting a dark hole in the stone pillar. A shrill and angry sound came from the dark hole soon afterwards.
With a 'swoosh', two grey monkeys flew out from the cave and leapt towards Fang Yuan and Mo Bei.
Fang Yuan and Mo Bei shot out two moonblades in continuation. All of the Fang Yuan's moonblade hit while Mo Bei only managed to hit one.
The monkeys were in midair and could not adjust its position, but their tail was extremely agile, sweeping several times and causing its body to flip in midair. After avoiding one moonblade of Mo Bei, one of the monkey was finally hit, plopping on the floor dead while Fang Yuan manage to kill the other monkey easily. It's grey body turned to stone, and in a second, its flesh and blood body became a stone monkey statue.
Mo Bei was seeing this the first time and was truly amazed. Currently, he was using upper stage essence which was refined by Liquor worm and only required 2.5% essence to activate moonblade while Fang Yuan was still an initial stage and required 10% essence to activate moonblade. Fang Yuan could only activate moonblade 4 times with his 44% aperture limit and he had already used it 2 times. He was severely limited in its usage. Mo Bei having 72% aperture, could shoot even 28-30 moonblades at once. This was a difference in talent.
When Fang Yuan had started exploring this part in the novel, he was already Rank 1 upper stage with peak stage essence due to liquor worm.
Using the Jade Skin Gu at the same time cost 16% upper stage primeval essence, if converted to initial stage primeval essence, it would be 64%!
He invited Fang Yuan because he knew that it was impossible for him clear the Stone Monkeys in the short time. At the same time, he also wanted Fang Yuan's cultivation to improve. He knew that FY can easily refine any Gu with his rank 6 SAC. Hence, he wanted to leave all such gu they get here in the future such as Stealth Scales gu, Ear communication Grass gu, Chainsaw Golden Centipede, etc. in the hands of Fang Yuan.
After exploring around for a while, both Fang Yuan and Mo Bei left the grounds.

Next day at the academy.

"Gu Yue Mo Bei is the first to advance to Middle stage!"
"He did it within just 1 and half months of awakening. That's too fast!"
The academy elder had already placed his hand on Mo Bei's abdomen, placing a trace of his spirit into it and had seen the inside of Mo Bei's aperture and verified that he had indeed advanced to middle stage. He was truly surprised at such speed.
Mo Bei had already left the liquor worm in his room since he knew his aperture was going to be checked.
Academy elder did not ask how Mo Bei achieved it first since Mo faction was involved behind him.
However, he frowned at the thought that Mo Bei was backing Fang Yuan. He wanted to bring down the image of Fang Yuan by punishing him in front of the students so that they retaliate and don't give up their primeval stones.
Some weeks passed by and the second one to breakthrough was Gu Yue Fang Zheng. After that were Gu Yue Chi Chen and Gu Yue Fang Yuan.
Chi Chen took help from his grandfather while Fang Yuan relied on primeval stones.
"Gu Yue Mo Bei." He stood at the front, calling out Mo Bei's name first.
Mo Bei stood up and walked towards the elder. The youngsters' attention was on him as he moved, revealing all sorts of envy and jealousy. Some girls even thought about fawning on him.
"Today, the elder is not only handing out resources, but he is also appointing the chairman and vice chairman positions!", someone spoke.
Mo Bei received a bag of 30 primeval stones as the reward. He then also chose to take on responsibilities of the Chairman.
Fang Zheng became the Vice Chairman.
Later, under everyone's watch, Fang Yuan let people pass without extorting them.
"You are lucky to have young master Mo Bei as your Chairman", saying so Fang Yuan left.
This led to Mo Bei's image rise in their mind. Even Academy elder was surprised. He wanted to supress Fang Yuan so that students retaliate against Fang Yuan's extorting. He did not expect Fang Yuan to give up so easily.
This was actually due to the deal between Fang Yuan and Mo Bei when they used Poison Vow Gu. Mo Bei would give up his 10 primeval essence stones to Fang Yuan as well as take him to the Inheritance grounds and provide him White Boar Gu and even help Fang Yuan when he will apply While Fang Yuan would stop extorting students if Mo Bei became the Chairman or Vice Chairman. It was to keep his image for the time being.
✵✵✵
Three months later.
During the past 3 months, almost every day Mo Bei and Fang Yuan would visit to kill the jade eye stone monkeys. Mo Bei would simultaneously feed the Jade Skin Gu.
At the same time, they had to search inside the stone forest to find the next clue of the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance. Even Mo Bei's knowledge of the novel was useless here. The stone forest was complicated with pillars of huge rocks drooping from the ceiling. If they were not careful and got too close to any pillar, they would trigger the attack of all the stone monkeys.
A few times, they were chased by tens of stone monkeys and had to escape while Mo Bei protected Fang Yuan by using Jade Skin Gu.
Luckily, these monkeys were territorial, and every time they chased after him, they would not chase too far. After a distance, they would go back to their homes and continue being sedentary.
These were all unique experiences for Mo Bei. He had picked up many new skills from Fang Yuan.
Things were really going smooth for him and they were also almost about to reach the next part of the inheritance.
✵✵✵
On the backside of Qing Mao Mountain, a pair of angry ferocious eyes were watching the Gu Yue Clan as if it was about to gobble it up. It was a wolf of the level of thousand beast king, Rank 4 Lightning crown wolf. However, it was a bit different from other Rank 4 thousand beast kings. It's body was slightly larger and it's eyes reflected a hint of intelligence. Behind it were thousands of wolves getting ready for a big battle. They all seemed to very angry for some reason.
