"Oh? This kind of physique... even I have never heard of it."

The long silent Xing Yunzi exclaimed suddenly, with a hint of confusion and surprise:

"Could it be some kind of mutated Water Spirit Body?"

"Friend Xing Yunzi, your extensive knowledge is indeed superior to mine."

He Ling True Master expressed his astonishment: "Even you have never heard of it. It seems this child's talent must be a Water Spirit Body that has never been seen before."

Beside them, Baochan True Master remained silent, his expression somber.

He had originally come to see He Ling True Master's joke, but who knew the joke would be on him!

At this time, the light on the Profound Mechanism Disc gradually dimmed.

Gu Yuan was about to withdraw his hand, but unexpectedly,

Clang!

With a sword cry that echoed like a dragon's roar, a sword light suddenly appeared on the surface of the Profound Mechanism Disc.

This sword light was like a Flood Dragon, winding and flying swiftly, elusively graceful, emitting an unparalleled sharpness!

Even though it was just an illusory sword-shaped light shadow, everyone present felt a sharp intent rushing towards them, causing a slight sting on their skin.

Gu Yuan was astonished, a bit surprised that his Sword Heart Talent had also been detected.

"..."

The entire courtyard was suddenly enveloped in an eerie calm.

Everyone present looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"What?!"

Even Xing Yunzi and Baochan True Master, these two Golden Core Great Cultivators, couldn't maintain their composure any longer, their expressions suddenly changed.

A Water Spirit Body was one thing, but suddenly there appeared a sword light, what did this signify?

A Water Spirit Body, a Sword Dao Talent... one person possessing two kinds of talents?

They had never heard of such a thing.

"What does this sword light mean? Sword Dao Talent?"

"That's right, and it's very likely another Spirit Body Level talent!"

"How is that possible? How can one person possess two Spirit Body Talents?!"

"Logically it should be impossible, but it indeed appeared."

"What I'm more curious about is, what is his identity, possessing two talents, one can only imagine, this child's future is bound to be limitless..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Gu Yuan's talent should be the first in this assessment, right? After all, two talents should be stronger than one, right?"

"..."

After the calm, the courtyard suddenly became lively, bustling with excitement.

Some people looked at Li Changqing with a hint of amusement.

This guy had an unbelievably grand demeanor, posturing with an air of being the most important thing in the world.

Many people, due to the name of the Li Family, might not dare to say anything openly, but who knows how much they detest and envy him in their hearts.

Now that Gu Yuan has emerged, surpassing Li Changqing, they naturally enjoy the commotion.

Feeling the various gazes around him, Li Changqing's face turned dark and a bit unsightly.

But he had to admit, if Gu Yuan grows, with his talent, he would definitely be a formidable opponent!

"Is this... Sword Heart Talent?"

He Ling True Master was also taken aback, clearly a bit unexpected. His expression changed a few times, with both surprise and joy.

Then his figure flashed, eagerly stepping forward a few steps, coming before Gu Yuan, his eyes filled with a fervent gleam, his voice gentle:

"Your name is Gu Yuan, right? I remember you, the last time I visited Beiliang City, you were present."

At the time, he only thought Gu Yuan's talent was decent, perhaps having some enlightenment in Sword Dao.

Who knew Gu Yuan would give him such a big surprise!

A Water Spirit Body, already quite a rare talent, then immediately followed by a Sword Heart Talent, no less impressive than the Water Spirit Body.

In his view, the latter was even more important... because he himself was a legitimate Sword Immortal!

Spirit Bodies are relatively rare talents, but when Medicine King Mountain opens its doors, one or two are occasionally encountered.

However, talents related to Sword Heart, Sword Bone, Sword Soul, are often even rarer!

Yet now, the young man before him possessed both. What kind of fortune is this?

Gu Yuan stood tall and respectfully bowed: "Yes, disciple Gu Yuan greets the True Master."

"Good child, no need for so much ceremony, quickly rise."

He Ling True Master's face was full of smiles, examining the young man up and down, the more he looked, the more pleasing he found him.

Even Baochan True Master's gloomy face beside him seemed a bit more agreeable, hilarious no matter how he looked.

Xia Mingyang's eyes were somewhat dazed, unable to resist rubbing them.

He Ling True Master is known within the sect for his aloofness and ruthlessness, decisive in killing, with countless deaths under his Flying Sword.

He is secretly referred to by many disciples as the "Cold-Faced Killing God"!

Yet now, this very Cold-Faced Killing God, whom many disciples avoid, regarded with deference, was smiling like a flower, making Xia Mingyang unable to bear watching.

The image of He Ling True Master as cold and merciless shattered instantly within him!

He Ling True Master thought for a moment, then simply waved, calling Xia Mingyang over.

"Ninth Elder!"

Xia Mingyang respectfully offered a salute first, then looked with complex emotions at Gu Yuan standing by, finding the young man a bit unfamiliar.

"Misjudged..."

He sighed inwardly, somewhat regretful.

If he had known Gu Yuan's talent was this exceptional, he would have made an effort to befriend him.

Even if it meant marrying his daughter to Gu Yuan, it wouldn't have been a bad move.

Such a prodigious cultivation seed would surely become a major figure in the Cultivation Realm, stirring up great waves, deserving utmost regard.

Unfortunately... it's too late for regrets now!

As the saying goes, friendships are made in humble times.

Before Gu Yuan had risen, it was easier when he was a mere common farmer's child, not very old; if he had bent down to win him over, he could have captured his heart.

But back then, he didn't pay much attention to Gu Yuan.

Now that Gu Yuan has been discovered by He Ling True Master, his status and identity have greatly changed, making it obvious that trying to befriend him now is unlikely.

He Ling True Master asked: "Did you recommend Gu Yuan?"

"Reporting to the Elder, I recommended him."

Xia Mingyang's demeanor turned solemn.

He Ling True Master nodded, inquiring about Gu Yuan's background in front of him.

Confirming that Gu Yuan's background was clean and he had only recently started cultivation, he was very satisfied, waving Xia Mingyang away, then looking at Gu Yuan:

"As you may have heard earlier, with your talent, it's certainly enough to become a True Inheritance of our sect."

"However, to become a True Inheritance of Medicine King Mountain isn't easy; you have to either get permission from two Supreme Elders, just like Sun Zhong who received special approval from Supreme Elder Zi Que Yuan Luo, or compete with fellow disciples after reaching the Celestial Human Realm; the winner then becomes a True Inheritance."

"So, I can only offer you an Inner Sect Disciple position for now, is that clear?"

"Disciple understands."

Gu Yuan cupped his hands, his expression calm and natural.
