Reincarnation Reverend Insanity Fanfic - Chapter 12
Mo Bei knew that the batch of students who came next would also be beaten up by Fang Yuan and plundered. He did not want to show his cowardly side to others and hence left the academy with the 1st batch.
In this world, no matter aGuMaster or common mortal, they would fight for survival. Sometimes it would be a fight with a scary wild beast. Sometimes it would be a battle against the raging weather, and other times if could be a fight against otherGuMasters over resources. Not able to fight would give Mo Bei a bad reputation as he is a B Grade talent and didn’t even try to fight with Fang Yuan. This might lead to a reduction in his cultivation resources offered by his family and the clan in the future so he wanted the fact that he directly withdrew be known to as few people as possible.
The surface of this world was boundless. Just the Southern Border alone was bigger than seven to eight times the entire surface of Earth itself. The living environment here was hostile and cruel, so humans would often construct mountain villages in the form of clans, holing up together.
Mo Bei was thinking about the world outside the clan and how would he survive it. He had no affection to the clan but it was also a safety net for him before he went to the outside world.
Meanwhile he understood the reasons behind Fang Yuan’s behavior. He also didn’t fear Fang Yuan a lot.
There’s a famous quote from Sun Zu’s Art of War [ “Know yourself and your enemy and you will never be defeated” ]
Mo Bei was sure that there was no one in this world who understood himself and Fang Yuan better than him. Even Fang Yuan didn’t knew knew about him and would only have suspicions.
Mo Bei knew that Fang Yuan was not bloodthirsty, he just treated killing as a type of means. Every time Fang Yuan acted, he would have a clear goal. Whatever the type of method, whichever would let him reach his goal the fastest, he would use it. In other words, he was unscrupulous in doing things.
Then how can he survive Fang Yuan? By providing what Fang Yuan wants?
‘What does Fang Yuan want’, you ask?
‘Obviously, he wants to increase his strength faster and leave the clan to seek out opportunities using his knowledge.’
‘How can he do so… By having more cultivation resources’
Thinking upto this point, Mo Bei was having a smirk on his face. He knew what he had to do.
Fang Yuan collected the stones and went back to the inn he had rented. He had recently exhorted lots of primeval stones. He recalled the past 23 days he had spent after his rebirth.
‘Finally I have some primeval stones to further my cultivation. Also, the possibility of Mo Bei being wary of me is minute. He is from a large faction and his family’s reputation is based on him. He might not be willing to deal with a small fry. Even if he is wary, it might be due to my fighting style. I don’t believe he knows about my rebirth or has observed any anomaly in my actions. I just can’t understand the basis of the fear he showed before on the day of Awakening ceremony. It seems I am thinking too much due to my 500 years experience.’ Thinking so, the past 500 years flashed through his eyes. He had endured a hard life filled with tears and blood for 300 years and went through another 200 years before he reached the cultivated of Rank 6, the Gu Immortal level.
Fang Yuan was still expressionless, he continued to move forward relentlessly. He had once screamed, gradually, he lost his voice. He had once cried, gradually, he lost his tears. He had once grieved, gradually, he became able to withstand everything. He had once rejoiced, gradually, he became unmoved by the world. And now! All he has left is an expressionless face, his gaze is as tough as a monolith, and now only perseverance and his pursuit for immortality remains in his heart.
This was something Mo Bei admired the most about Fang Yuan.
‘I have never given up on searching for Liquor worm and Flower monk inheritance. However, it seems like it just vanished. I am not able to find it whatever I do. Even green bamboo wine doesn’t seem to work. Was it false claim by the clan back then? What’s the actual truth? I can only give it up for now and focus on getting resources some other way’ Fang Yuan thought with a sigh.
At Mo Family’s residence
Mo Bei used the White Boar Gu. These days he had used the White Boar Gu non-stop to increase the strength of his body. He could feel strongly now that his strength was getting bigger.
Of course, the White Boar Gu would not endless give him strength. The limit was a boar’s strength, and once he reached the limit, it would no longer grant him any additional strength.
He could feel his strength nearing that of a boar and felt that in one more week, he would be as strong as a wild boar. As soon as he gets the corresponding strength, he will go ahead with Flower Wine Monk’s Inheritance.
