Chapter 271: Purple Thorn Token (Two-in-one chapter)
Trantor: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Shang Yan Fei saw Fang Yuan reject the primeval stones, and gave another solution: “You are now
under Bai n’s arrest warrant, this is evidently a misunderstanding. I shall exin for you and remove
this arrest warrant, what do you think?”
Fang and Bai were wanted, Shang Xin Ci knew this.
“Why didn’t I think of it, to get rid of the arrest warrant for brother Hei Tu, this is undoubtedly what he
needs the most.” Shang Xin Ci supported this wholeheartedly.
Shang n was the southern border overlord, while Bai n was an ordinary n vige. Moreover,
their spirit spring was running dry, the n was gradually getting weaker. Shang Yan Fei’s ‘exnation’
will definitely be epted by Bai n.
But Fang Yuan shook his head.
Although this was enticing, he had other ns in his heart.
If Shang n cleared up the matter, it would cause him to be branded as one of them. This would be a
great obstacle in his future ns of getting close to the demonic Gu Masters and joining Yi Tian
mountain. Short terms benefits in exchange for long term harm.
This arrest warrant may seem troublesome, but it was no harm to Fang Yuan.
Which demonic lord did not have tens of arrest warrants on them? Fang Yuan had over a hundred in
his previous life!
So what if the arrest warrants pile up?
The most ironic thing was, after he established the blood wing demonic sect in his previous life, and
dominated a region, many ns took the initiative to remove the arrest warrant for him.
This was the truth of the world, eventually, only strength matters!
ording to Fang Yuan’s ns, he wanted to stay in Shang n city for two to three years, during this
period Bai n had no way to arrest him.
After that, he would gather a set of Gu worms and gain a boost in strength, then he would have no fear
towards Bai n’s arrest warrant.
In fact, Bai n itself was in a dangerous situation, unable to fend for themselves, how could they
bother about Fang and Bai!
Thus, Shang Yan Fei’s reward, although it was important in Shang Xin Ci’s eyes, it held zero value to
Fang Yuan.
Thus, he shook his head: “Our conflict with Bai n originated from an inheritance. Truthfully, we
snatched their inheritance and killed the Bai n young masters, but we have never regretted it. My
injury is due to Bai n, one day, I will find them for revenge. I am such a person, repay kindness with
gratitude, and return grudges with revenge. A droplet received in need will be repaid with a whole
spring, a spark of hatred will result in the burning of an entire forest!”

As he said so, Fang Yuan did not hide his overwhelming killing intent.
Immediately, many of the young masters had differing feelings.
“He has an extremely demonic nature…” Some were disgusted.
“A person exacting revenge on a n, this person is truly naive.” Some looked with disdain.
“Hehehe, being so honest in front of father, is this person a fool, or something with great courage?”
Some were amused.
Shang n was a righteous path overlord, but Fang Yuan dered his intentions for revenge in front of
Shang Yan Fei.
His arrogance and confidence caused Shang Xin Ci to feel inwardly shocked, but not surprised. This
was brother Hei Tu true nature, wasn’t it?
Shang Yan Fei was also unfazed, in his opinion, Fang Yuan was very honest and straightforward. Wei
Yang’s evaluation was spot on. Such a person can be easily read,pared to the quiet Bai Ning Bing,
he prefered Fang Yuan much more.
“There is no need for lord n leader to intervene and remove the arrest warrant for us. I need this to
encourage myself, to whip myself and continuously get stronger. Thank you Lord Shang Yan Fei for
your kind intentions.” Fang Yuan cupped his fists.
“In that case, tell me what reward you want. Don’t talk about your debt being repaid, if my Shang n
wants to reward someone, they will be rewarded. This is our rules. Even if you throw the reward away,
that is none of my business.” Shang Yan Fei frowned, acting unhappy.
Immediately, the rxed atmosphere in the courtyard became slightly more solemn.
The young masters became much more careful when they raised their sses to drink.
This was the dominating aura of Shang n leader, Shang Yan Fei, a rank five Gu Master.
I want to reward you, even if you do not want it, you have to take it! It is not a choice!
Fang Yuan looked around, andughed: “But what if I really do not want it?”
Shang Yan Fei spoke calmly, but his gaze was determined: “That is not an option.”
Many of the young masters saw this conflict and scolded Fang Yuan as an idiot secretly. He must be
stupid, pushing away Shang n leader’s reward, many people would die for this opportunity. Some
praised his overwhelming bravery.
Shang Xin Ci’s hands were sweating, worrying for Fang Yuan.
Wei Yangughed, soothing the atmosphere: “I thought about it, brother Fang Zheng was injured and
disfigured. Why don’t lord n leader ask the doctor to restore his appearance?”
“Hmm, this is a good idea. Wei Yang, call Doctor Su Shou toe here.” Shang Yan Fei nodded and
said.
Fang Yuan was silent, as Wei Yang went away.
Soon, Wei Yang reported: “Doctor Su Shou has been invited here, pleasee with me brother Fang
Zheng.”
Fang Yuan paid no attention to his own appearance, but at this time he could no longer be pushy.
He looked at Bai Ning Bing: “Come along too, get a full body check up as well.”
Bai Ning Bing snorted, she knew exactly what injuries she has. But then again, she knew Fang Yuan
had other ns, thus she agreed.
The two left the courtyard and entered the house.
They were familiar with this house, because they had once waited here for Shang Yan Fei for six hours,
and did not even get to meet him.
Doctor Su Shou was a slim woman, wearing a veil on her face and a white shirt and skirt. She was
drinking tea at her seat.
She had aplex rtionship with Shang Yan Fei; favor, grudge, love, hatred, all of them. She held a
unique position in Shang n city, she was a rank five healing Gu Master.
“A rare day where my mood is great today.” She ced her cup down, looking at Fang Yuan: “You seek
treatment? Go bathe first.”
She then stretched out her finger, pointing at Bai Ning Bing: “Especially you youngdy, what did you
apply on your face, ugly and dirty, clean it before youe back.”
Bai Ning Bing had concealed her looks on the entire journey, she continued to do so even in Shang
n city. Her face was smothered with cinnabar, pretending it was her birthmark. She even applied
special ck oil, and her hair covered her forehead, causing her to look unkempt.
Hearing this, Bai Ning Bing was surprised.
Fang Yuan had the same expression.
Wei Yang quickly exined: “This is Lord Doctor Su Shou’s rule. Every patient has to shower and clean
their bodies, use fragrance oil and change into a white robe. Otherwise, she will not treat them. But no
worry, I have already prepared it in advance, the hot water is ready, please follow me.”
The two entered the inner house, and there were indeed two wooden buckets inside.
Beside each bucket, there were two mortal servants standing, helping the guests to wash themselves.
Bai Ning Bing immediately frowned, saying unhappily: “Get out, I will wash myself.”
“This…” Wei Yang was hesitant, these four were Doctor Su Shou’s attendants. Doctor Su Shou was a
clean freak, if the servants were chased away, she might not clean herself properly, resulting in her
unable to get treatment.
“I’ll keep mine, brother Wei, please go out first. Her loss if she cannot enjoy it.” Fang Yuanughed.
Wei Yang told them his worry, but Bai Ning Bing insisted. Wei Yang did not pursue it further, leaving the
room and closing the door, after all, the healing target was Fang Yuan anyway.
Fang Yuan took off his clothing, throwing away his shirt and entering the wooden bucket.
The temperature of the water was just nice, as the two servants worked, one poured the fragrance oil
as the other rubbed Fang Yuan’s back, they moved in perfect harmony, obviously experienced.
Bai Ning Bing stood before the bucket, not moving as she hesitated.
Fang Yuanid in the bucket rxing, cing his arms at the corner of the bucket, saying lightly: “Bai
Ning Bing, our identities have already been exposed, we have no need to hide in Shang n city, do
you really not dare to show your face to people?”
Bai Ning Bing immediately snorted.
Fang Yuan continued: “I called you over with good intentions. This Doctor Su Shou, I have long heard
of her great fame, in the southern border, she, Roaming Doctor Jiu Zhi, Doctor Sheng Shou, and
Doctor Sha Ren are the four great doctors. You can ask herter regarding the Yin Yang rotation Gu.”
Yin Yang rotation Gu!
Bai Ning Bing’s eyes squinted into a line, as they shone unsteadily.
This was Bai Ning Bing’s greatest pain, and the method Fang Yuan used to control Bai Ning Bing.
Saying it out loud like this, what was the reason? What schemes does he have now? What is his
motive?
All sorts of suspicions arose in Bai Ning Bing’s head.
The mental impact that Shang Xin Ci gave her was still lingering, causing Bai Ning Bing to still
experience afterfear.
This Fang Yuan, was like an unknown abyss!
Even Shang Xin Ci did not know her identity, but he knew, otherwise he would not have approached
her.
How did he do this?
Bai Ning Bing could not guess the Spring Autumn Cicada, that was a rank six Gu, and too far from her
understanding. But she made another guess, that is, a predictive ability Gu.
“Fang Yuan must have a precognition type Gu, able to see scenes of the future. I thought he was
familiar with Bai Gu mountain due to the experiences of past people, but now it seems it must be the
effect of this Gu. The problem is, which predictive Gu does he own, and what rank is it?”
Undoubtedly, Bai Ning Bing’s pressure at this moment was the greatest.
Even if she understood, that predictive Gu have their own severe weaknesses. Sometimes, the
predicted future is either wrong or chaotic.
But now that she wanted to deal with Fang Yuan, she would be forced to think — Would this n of
mine be forewarned? If I use this method to deal with him, will he just make use of it instead?
Enemies that can predict the future were too terrifying.
In the inner house, hot steam rose.
Bai Ning Bing stood on the spot, but felt her hands and legs freezing.
In the steam, she could almost see Fang Yuan lying in the bucket, as the servants washed his body.
She could feel that Fang Yuan was staring at her, using his abyss-like dark eyes, those emotionless
and deep eyes, quietly staring at her.
She could hear Fang Yuan screaming in her heart: What are you going to do? Bai Ning Bing! That’s
right, this is my trump card, a precognition Gu. You want to deal with me? Go ahead! I can see the
future, you have no chance of winning…
But the truth was, Fang Yuan was already resting his eyes.
Whether Bai Ning Bing washed or not, it was part of his probing, killing two birds with one stone. He
was testing both Bai Ning Bing and Shang Yan Fei.
The two servants were really experienced, when the water turned cold slightly, they immediately added
hot water.
The room was not big, after cing two buckets, it was crowded. This portrayed the state Shang Yan
Fei faced when he decided to give up the position of young master back in the day to be a
commoner.
But this was normal.
Heroes often met despair. But that is not to say, the fate of heroes is full of cmities. But because,
only despair and desperation can create heroes.
Shang Yan Fei could be called a hero, but he is more of a schemer, an ambitious person.
After an hour of washing, the servant stopped.
Fang Yuan wore the shirt they prepared, and walked out of the room, but Bai Ning Bing was still
standing there, thoughts flowing in her head.
“Get out, I will wash myself.” After Fang Yuan left, Bai Ning Bing chased the two servants away.
Fang Yuan smiled, the more Bai Ning Bing thought, the more pressure she faced. The more she
thought, the more her willpower was sucked away.
Sometimes, strengths might not be strengths.
If Bai Ning Bing was a straightforward boor, so be it. But she was extremely intelligent, and the more
intelligent she was, the more she thought, and the more she would find Fang Yuan unpredictable, and
hard to win.
Bai Ning Bing could have felt nothing wrong with the bath, but Fang Yuan could tell that she had
lowered her head to him from this insignificant matter.
Smart people were suspicious, from another angle, it was Bai Ning Bing who helped Fang Yuan
subdue herself.
Back at the main room, Fang Yuan found Doctor Su Shou.
She did not waste time, stretching out her palm and cing it at Fang Yuan’s shoulder.
A gush of pure white light burst forth like water and enveloped Fang Yuan’s entire body.
A refreshing and cool feeling spread throughout Fang Yuan’s body.
His burnt skin could be seen recovering rapidly, at the same time flesh started to grow at the right side
of his head.
As time passed, the flesh grew and formed into shapes of ear, and cartge.
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, as the numbing feeling assaulted him like waves, continuously challenging
his limits.
Quickly, new skin formed on his body, and from the pores that were burnt, new eyebrows grew.
In fifteen minutes time, his injuries healed, he not only regained his looks, but his right ear also grew
out, matching with his left.
Doctor Su Shou pulled back her hand,menting: “Now you look much better. Leave, and bring your
companion along, hmph, she chased my servants away, how would I know if she had cleaned herself
properly? Eh…”
At this time, the room door opened, and Bai Ning Bing walked out.
She wore a white robe, returning to her formal appearance, without any concealment, her blue eyes
shone like the blue sky, with ice muscles and jade bones, her face was slightly red, and she carried
with her the lingering steam from her bath. Even the woman Doctor Su Shou was moved by her divine
appearance.
Doctor Su Shou’s impression of Bai Ning Bing changedpletely, as she said gently: “Little sister
looks incredible, I almost got charmed by you.”
This attitude was a hundred and eighty degree turn, Fang Yuan could not help but roll his eyes.
But he knew, this was Doctor Su Shou, pursuing all things beautiful in her life. Or using Earth’s words,
she had an appearanceplex!
Bai Ning Bing shook her head: “I do not need healing, I just want to know about the Yin Yang rotation
Gu.”
“I will answer anything little sister wants to know.” Doctor Su Shou gently said, then turned coldly at
Fang Yuan: “As for you, why are you still here, go out!”
Completely different attitudes towards Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing.
Fang Yuan rubbed his nose, having being chased out.
The moment he got out, he saw Wei Yang.
“Brother Fang Zheng?” Wei Yang look at him hesitantly.
Fang Yuan nodded, showing gratitude in his eyes: “Thank you brother for guarding here the entire
time.”
“Haha, to think you look so handsome!” Wei Yang raised his thumb as he praised.
Actually, Fang Yuan looked extremely in and ordinary, he could only be considered middle-upper
level in terms of looks. But his eyes were dark like the abyss, giving off an unquestionable aura.
Most importantly, he was way too ugly when he was injured, in contrast, he became much more
‘handsome’.
But Wei Yang quicklyughed bitterly: “Little brother, since you call me brother, I shall lecture you. Why
did you refuse n leader’s reward? I know you have your principles, but Shang n has their rules,
as they say, follow the customs of the ce you are in, moreover, lord n leader is not trying to harm
you! This is a good thing.”
“But if you continue insisting, the good thing will turn sour. A wise man submits to circumstances, I’m
sure you do not want Lady Xin Ci to be stuck in the middle right?”
Fang Yuan frowned: “I epted treatment because I was considering this point.”
Wei Yang’s smile became even more bitter: “Just this treatment alone is no reward. If Shang n does
not produce a proper reward, it will cause outsiders tough at us, and ruin Shang n’s reputation
and image. In future, if Shang n’s young masters encounter trouble, who would help them? Thus,
you must ept this reward no matter what.”
Wei Yang spoke as he observed Fang Yuan’s expression, seeing him frown even harder, he continued
urging: “You, oh you, I don’t know what to say. Something that people would die for, you are doing your
best to refuse it. Little brother Fang Zheng, an arm cannot overpower a leg , if you really do not want it,
you can ept it now, and after this is over, give it to Shang Xin Ci. Is that not a good solution?”
Fang Yuan thought about it, and said solemnly: “Hmm, this is a good idea. First, it does not vite my
principles, second, it would not make life difficult for you. But brother Wei, what do I ask for?”
Wei Yang immediately replied: “Oh course it is a token!”
Fang Yuanughed secretly, that was what he wanted to hear all along. He wanted to hear it from
Shang Yan Fei, but Shang Yan Fei seemed to have wanted to recruit him, intentionally not mentioning
it.
Now, he shall make use of Wei Yang.
“Token?” Fang Yuan showed a confused expression.
“You just got to Shang n city, although you know there is a need for tokens, you do not know the
importance of it. Trust brother Wei, a high ss token is very important. Sometimes, even if you have
money, it is useless without a token.” Wei Yang advised wholeheartedly.
Fang Yuan nodded: “Although I don’t get it, since brother Wei said so, I shall request for a token.”
Wei Yang instantly felt strongly moved due to being trusted.
He patted Fang Yuan’s shoulders, sighing: “Little brother, we hit it off so well, why would I cause you to
lose out?”
Back at the courtyard, Fang Yuan immediately said to Shang Yan Fei: “I was rash, after hearing brother
Wei Yang’s advice, I realized a token was so important. I would like to ask for two tokens from lord n
leader.”
Shang Yan Fei’s eyes shone, he intentionally kept quiet because he had ns. But to think Wei Yang
ruined it, this Wei Yang, he failed while trying to do good, not thinking further into this.
These two saved his birth daughter, the token given cannot be too low ss.
Nevermind!
In Shang n city, what does that little primeval stones they had amount to? In a year or two, it would
be finished, even if they had the token, they would still need to rely on Shang n.
Thinking so, Shang Yan Feiughed heartily, waving his hand: “Alright, I shall give both of you a purple
thorn token each, as my thanks to you.”
Almost all the young masters gasped at this.
Even Wei Yang was taken aback.
Shang n city had ck, white, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, purple — a total of nine
tokens. ck stone token was the lowest, purple thorn token was the highest, it meant one was a VIP
in Shang n, the authority was almost half a n elder!
Even Fang Yuan did not expect that Shang Yan Fei would give out a purple thorn token. He had
nned to receive a green, turquoise or blue token, these three colors. He greatly underestimated
Shang Yan Fei’s magnanimity.
Shang Yan Fei took out a token immediately, it was made of cercis chinensis wood, palm sized, the
front wrote the two words ‘Shang n’, while the back was a minimap of Shang Liang mountain.
But this was not the real purple thorn token.
Shang Yan Fei called out another Gu: “This is the special token Gu of Shang n, it needs your blood.”
The Gu worm was like a mosquito, flying to Fang Yuan’s arm, taking a bit of blood, and returned to the
surface of the token.
St.
With a crisp sound, the token Gu exploded, turning into a lump of blood and merging into the token.
The token seemed to have no changes, but when it got into Fang Yuan’s hands, the surface started to
glow with a purple light, like water and shadow.
Only now, did this be a real purple thorn token.
Even if outsiders got the token, it was useless. This could only be used by Fang Yuan.
This was also Shang n’s protective measure. Making it impossible for outsiders to impersonate. If
they used Gu worms as the trust token, other Gu Masters might reverse engineer it and refine the Gu
for themselves.
The genius part was, the purple thorn token was not a Gu worm, it only had the power of the token Gu
remaining in it.
As time passed, the token Gu’s power would decrease, and the purple thorn token would lose effect.
This was an advantage to Shang n.
The depreciation of the token, would cause its usage to be sustained at a certain level.
If Fang Yuan’s purple thorn token lost effect, he would have to return to Shang n city and ask them
to create a new one. This was a way Shang n controlled their tokens.
Fang Yuan obtained the purple thorn token, and the young masters’ gaze towards him changed
completely.
Before, he was still just a demonic Gu Master, many looked down on him, felt disdain towards him, but
now they held an equal attitude.
The purple thorn token could only be given out when the n leader, or ten elders came to an
agreement. There were only two hundred purple thorn tokens in the world now.
“Yourpanion?” Shang Yan Fei took out another token.
“Still with Doctor Su Shou, I will go rush her now.” Wei Yang was about to get up, when Bai Ning Bing
returned, in front of everyone.
Her expression was cold, and solemn. She had heard from Doctor Su Shou, that to return to her male
body, she needed the corresponding Yang Gu.
Of course, there was no absolute. If she could get a rank six Gu immortal to help, there was a high
chance of sess.
Seeing her appearance, many young masters fell into a daze.
