This Diamond Thought Immortal Gu was the size of a fist. Its exterior resembled glazed crystal, translucent and gleaming with brilliant golden light. It looked exceptionally fine.
Held in Fang Yuan's hand, it felt heavy, as though he were gripping a solid lump of gold.
The exchange between both sides went smoothly and took very little time.
After Fang Yuan successfully refined the Diamond Thought Immortal Gu, Wu Yubo's will bade him farewell and flew away directly.
Obtaining a Rank 6 Immortal Gu just like that did not surprise Fang Yuan.
He had rendered meritorious service to the Wu clan!
Fang Yuan had rescued Wu Yubo, a great contribution to the Wu clan. Although he had broken the rules and caused the Wu clan to lose face, he had preserved a precious Rank 7 combat force for them. Clearly, his merits far outweighed his faults!
Although Wu Yong had punished Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan understood it perfectly well. This was the righteous path—they had to make sure things looked passable on the surface.
The Wu clan would certainly reward Fang Yuan, but Wu Yong could not be the one to step forward.
The moment Wu Yong stepped forward, the political implications would be completely different. Once discovered, others would criticize and attack him.
That was why Wu Yubo's will had appeared.
This Diamond Thought Immortal Gu was Wu Yubo's personal thanks to Fang Yuan, but in truth, it was an expenditure from the Wu clan. Yet it had to pass through this layer of indirection. This was how the righteous path conducted itself.
"Another Immortal Gu gained." Fang Yuan smiled bitterly.
Perhaps ordinary Gu Immortals would be overjoyed, but for Fang Yuan, it carried a rather different meaning.
He had too many Immortal Gu!
The burden was becoming rather heavy.
