Chapter 88: Exortion
After this chap, the plot will begin and it will be fast-paced. And this chapter from the half will be a fight of extortion from the original novel so you can skip to the next chapter. And sorry for the late reply; I was busy with planning some things on novel ending and the ending of the gu Yue Mountian Arc.

After finishing, Fang Yuan returned to the clan, walked to his hut, and took a bath before heading to the academy. At the academy, he pretended to sleep during lessons, maintaining the persona he projected to others.
But internally, he was hard at work, using his primeval stones to refine his aperture and steadily increase his rank. Normally, refining one's own aperture would require sitting cross-legged, but thanks to his 500 years of experience and memories from his time as a Rank 8 Gu Master, he found the process much easier.
Fang Yuan needed to refine the Liquor Gu worm, a crucial tool for his plans. He already had a strategy in place: the Philosopher's Stone. With its power of equivalent exchange, he could refine the Liquor Gu using valuable materials.
Fortunately, he had plenty of items to offer in exchange—most notably, the dead bodies of living beings. Since life held greater value than a mere Rank 1 Gu, the stone could easily convert them into the necessary resources. This plan created a win-win situation: by killing creatures, Fang Yuan would earn Kill Points (KP) for the gacha system, and the dead bodies would serve as fuel for the Philosopher's Stone, ensuring efficient refinement.
Like in his previous life, where he started his journey with nothing and was weak beyond measure, now he began his path as a Gu Master with many OP tools at his disposal. (Hey, guys. I am gonna make Fang Yuan powerfull than original story becasue he already suffered a lot and I don't want to him like that.)
Fang Yuan used all his time to grind everything for the plans he needed to do, he plan to make a mass masscare the whole mountian. And as for Bai Ning Bin he have plans for that guy.
He had long left the academy, and right now he stood at the gate entrance of the school. He saw the first batch of students coming out, gradually walking closer towards him.
"It's Fang Yuan."
"What's he doing at the middle of the gate entrance?"
"Hmph, every time I see his dead dysfunctional state, I feel so pissed off."
"Don't worry about him, he's probably waiting for someone."
The young teens paid no attention to him. Just as they were about to walk over, Fang Yuan strode across and blocked them. "I'm plundering. Everyone must surrender a two piece of primeval stone before they can leave."
The young teens were instantly shocked and angry.
"What, I didn't hear wrongly, did I?"
"Fang Yuan, your head must have overheated and gone confused. You would actually stand at the gates of the academy and blackmail us?!"
"Have you gone mad? Who gave you the guts to put your ideas on us?"
"Scram, you're just a petty C grade, how dare you block my way. If you don't scram, I will send you flying with my…Urghh!"
Fang Yuan suddenly lashed out.
His right palm furiously cut forward. His movement was quick and precise, his slice of his palm hitting the left side of someone's neck.
This unlucky teenager was totally not expecting Fang Yuan to suddenly attack him. While he was still cursing at Fang Yuan, he suddenly suffered a heavy blow. His two eyes instantly rolled up and he fainted on the spot.
"Fuck! You actually dared to strike?!" The crowd jumped, and the young teens subconsciously retreated backwards.
"Gu Yue Bei Ju fainted, what do we do?" Some of them were terrified and scared, shouting around in horror.
"What else can be done?! There's so many of us, and Fang Yuan is alone. We should all rush at him together and beat him up." Some people were shouting, their rage erupting.
"That's right, he sure doesn't know his place! How he dares to provoke us by himself. He's definitely digging his own grave with his over-ambitiousness! Everyone get on him together!!"
Yet before they could do anything, Fang Yuan had already struck. He strode a few steps forward, rushing into the group of teenagers.
He slashed his palm and the edge of his hand cut onto a youth's neck. The young man rolled his eyes upward and fell.
"Ahh —!" Another teen yelled loudly, swinging his fist at Fang Yuan, sweeping through the air. Fang Yuan lowered his body and dodged, then he lifted his leg and kicked the boy's crotch area.
AHH OWWwwww—!
The youngster's loud roar was originally sonorous and indignant, but after he took the blow his voice instantly rose higher and became sharp and shrill, filled with a kind of misery and pain.
Thump.
He covered his crotch with his two hands, his knees giving way as he dropped to the ground. He rolled around on the floor screaming loudly, the pain so great his entire body was covered in cold sweat.
Fang Yuan swung his two fists around like a tiger that had entered a flock of sheep!
He had five hundred years of battle experience, and these youngsters were just a bunch of soft green kids; they had only just started cultivating not long ago, how could they possibly be his opponents?
In the blink of an eye, Fang Yuan put down the entire group of young students. If they had not fainted, then they would be lying on the ground, the pain making them drained and their bodies hurting all over.
"What's going on here?!" Gu Yue Mo Bei arrived and exclaimed. He saw that Fang Yuan stood at the entrance of the academy gates, and there were five to six students on the floor around him.
"This Fang Yuan, h-he wants to extort our primeval stones!" One of them lying on the floor shouted angrily while clutching his belly.
"Wow, still full of energy huh." Fang Yuan's expression was flat as he kicked fiercely at the abdomen of the boy who just yelled.
Oww!
The youngster immediately cried out in pain, his body curling up like a shrimp. Fear emerged from his face, his tears streaming down as he dared not to speak again.
As they saw this scene, the students that came over all felt Fang Yuan's fierce savageness and cruelty, their hearts throbbing.
Just like that Fang Yuan exorted the students and went away with some premeveal stones, even though he have a lot of those like 1000, but still he need to show his weakness of no premeveal stones.
