"Is this a Spiritual Body?!"

"How is it possible, that Li Changqing is one thing, but how could this man also have a Spiritual Body?!"

The others were in an uproar, unable to believe it.

They could accept Li Changqing's Spiritual Body talent, after all, there had always been rumors about him having a Spiritual Body, and coupled with his older brother Li Changsheng's brilliance.

He revealed his Spiritual Body, and no one found it strange or unfair.

However, for Niu Youde, a simple and honest-looking farmer's son in ragged clothes, to also possess a Spiritual Body, was hard for many to accept!

"Rooted in place, intimately connected with the power of the Earth Element, manifested externally as a mountain, this should be an Earth Spirit Body, the Yue Spirit Treasure Body."

He Ling True Master, seeing this, softened his usually indifferent expression and looked at Niu Youde with a trace of a smile:

"What is your name?"

Niu Youde replied honestly, "Disciple Niu Youde."

"Niu Youde..."

He Ling True Master nodded and said:

"With your talent, you are qualified to be admitted into our Medicine King Mountain as an Inner Sect Disciple. If you can forge a Superior Dao Foundation and cultivate astonishing Divine Techniques, advancing to True Inheritance is not out of the question."

He Ling True Master was very pleased; with the discovery of Niu Youde, his trip hadn't been wasted after all.

Apart from Li Changqing, he could recruit an Earth Spirit Body and half a Wood Spirit Body. When he returned to the sect, who could question his capabilities?

Upon returning, he could finally report back with satisfaction.

The only regret was that Niu Youde's Spiritual Body was of the Earth Element, which did not align with his swordsmanship style, and thus there might not be much Master-Disciple affinity between them.

Xia Xiuxue was also somewhat surprised. Her Hundred Herbs Body was already rare, yet first Li Changqing's Red Cauldron Spirit Body had overshadowed her, and now another Earth Spirit Body had appeared.

Has the Spiritual Body constitution become so common now?

"Yue Spirit Treasure Body?"

Noticing the various complex and envious glances around, containing a mix of envy and resentment, Niu Youde was rather bewildered, tense, and at a loss about where to place his hands.

He instinctively looked at Gu Yuan, the only familiar face, who nodded at him, which slightly reassured him.

After hearing He Ling True Master's words, he finally understood that he had tested positive for a Spiritual Body and could now join Medicine King Mountain as an Inner Sect Disciple!

"Disciple Niu Youde, many thanks to the True Master!"

He respectfully bowed and then stepped aside.

Ignoring Li Changqing's slightly hostile scrutiny to his right, he began conversing with Gu Yuan.

He Ling True Master retracted his gaze in satisfaction, and then heard Baochan True Master's sour comments from the side:

"He Ling, my younger brother, is indeed lucky, to recruit another Yue Spirit Treasure Body..."

First, it was the Hundred Herbs Body, then the Red Cauldron Spirit Body, and now another Yue Spirit Treasure Body has emerged.

He Ling's luck was indeed good, even he was somewhat envious.

Needless to say, with the addition of these promising figures, this generation of Medicine King Mountain would undoubtedly be prolific, producing several Cultivation Seeds.

However, this matter was not good news for their Gu God Sect.

He Ling True Master paid no heed to the old toad's sarcastic remarks and looked at Gu Yuan: "Begin."

The young man before him exuded a pure aura, and his swordsmanship seemed well-honed. With Niu Youde's precedent, he couldn't help but have some expectations.

"I follow your orders!"

Gu Yuan approached the Profound Mechanism Disc, first bowing to He Ling True Master, then reached out his hand and placed it on the disc.

Gu Yuan immediately felt a peculiar wave emanating from the disc, sweeping through his entire body and even his Divine Soul.

Almost simultaneously, the Profound Mechanism Disc lit up with a clear, water-like brilliance.

The glow was not dazzling but extremely pure, carrying a hint of soft, enduring yin energy and the subtle sound of flowing water.

"This... another Spiritual Body! How is it possible?!"

Someone's face changed dramatically, crying out in disbelief, looking at Gu Yuan with shock and astonishment, as if seeing a ghost!

First, it was the Hundred Herbs Body, then the Red Cauldron Spirit Body, then the Yue Spirit Treasure Body.

Hasn't enough been revealed already today...

Yet now, another one appeared!

The others also found it unbelievable.

What was going on today?

The usually rare Spiritual Body was now appearing one after another.

"This boy actually possesses a Spiritual Body?! Wasn't he known for Iron Bone and Soft Tendons?"

Nearby, Xia Mingyang was dumbfounded.

Earlier, Gu Yuan had been determined to have Iron Bone and Soft Tendons. How had it turned into a Spiritual Body in such a short time?

"Could it be a hidden talent?"

Xia Mingyang could only come up with this possibility after much thought.

Compared to Xia Mingyang, Xia Xiuxue, although shocked, quickly accepted it.

"Indeed! Gu Yuan's fast cultivation speed was not without reason."

Lu Ming, Yu Zhengmao, and others had complex expressions, their minds filled with mixed emotions.

Gu Yuan's talent was beyond their expectations.

"A Spiritual Body! And it's a Water Spirit Body..."

Li Changqing frowned upon seeing this, also greatly surprised, and looked at Gu Yuan with even more hostility.

As a direct descendant of the Li Family and Li Changsheng's younger brother, with a Red Cauldron Spirit Body himself, joining the Medicine King Mountain was not difficult.

His opportunity to take the sect's Elder's assessment was not only his own intent but also part of a calculated plan of the family faction.

The aim was to integrate him into the sect lineage rapidly, allowing him to become a pivotal figure, and subsequently gradually seize control of the sect's authority to collaborate with the family factions.

However, now Niu Youde and Gu Yuan, who both had Spiritual Bodies, whether intentional or not, had already disrupted his and his backers' plans!

Without these two, Xia Xiuxue was not a concern, and he could righteously follow their plans. Even if some were wary of him, it wouldn't matter much overall.

But with Niu Youde and Gu Yuan, both talents with clean backgrounds, aware that he's a planted figure from the sect lineage, who would pay him any heed?

Especially since Gu Yuan also had a Water Spirit Body, which countered his Fire Spirit Body.

This person could very likely become his future opponent!

...

"Good! Very good!"

He Ling True Master clapped his hands and laughed, in high spirits, and for good reason.

He had struck gold out of sand; initially thinking he wouldn't find much, he unexpectedly unearthed gold nuggets one after another.

For him, this was a series of delightful surprises!

The changes in the Profound Mechanism Disc continued.

As the clear light circulated, it transformed into a domain of water, deep and bottomless, with something seemingly hidden in its depths, vaguely exuding an aura that encompassed the seas and embraced all things!
