"Cough cough...cough cough cough!"

Liu Xinjun coughed violently several times, the blood he spat out was mixed with bits of his internal organs.

He looked at Gu Yuan, whose face was calm with a slight smile, and then looked at the other fellow disciples who were in a daze and disbelief, and smiled bitterly:

"This time, I've lost. I, Liu Xinjun, concede willingly."

He had used all his means, both proper and improper, yet he still suffered a miserable defeat at Gu Yuan's hands. He had no choice but to accept it.

Although unwilling, he couldn't go back on his word in front of so many people.

As for whether Gu Yuan's strikes were too heavy... Liu Xinjun hadn't even thought about it.

Because he himself hadn't held back just now.

If Gu Yuan hadn't had superior skills, he might already be a dead man.

He was alive now only because Gu Yuan had shown mercy.

"No wonder Uncle Master He Ling insists on taking Gu Junior Brother as a disciple..."

Sha Luosheng's heart was in turmoil.

He just realized why He Ling True Master would take Gu Yuan as a disciple, and why Gu Yuan dared to take on Liu Xinjun's challenge just now.

Just talking about Gu Yuan's swordsmanship, it's already remarkable, among the young disciples of Medicine King Mountain, few could compare.

Considering his age, and factors like the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and Silver Flood Dragon Sword, there was no such character among the same age group in Medicine King Mountain.

With this kind of confidence, how could Gu Yuan be just another to engage in a magical battle with Liu Xinjun?

Li Changqing clenched his fists, feeling somewhat frustrated and unwilling.

He considered himself to be one of the rare talents in the world, but even with all his confidence, seeing Gu Yuan's display of defeating the strong while weak, he did not think he could accomplish that.

The onlookers had mixed feelings, yet Gu Yuan was secretly sighing.

If the Inner Sect Disciples were already so powerful, then what should Murong Wushuang and Chu He, such True Disciples, be capable of?

And what about someone like Li Changsheng, who was a First Grade Primordial Spirit Seed? What terrifying means should they possess?!

He considered himself to have some means, but really, speaking of it, there were plenty of powerful figures in this world, and he was still far from it...

...

"This match, I lost. I am a man of my word, this Jade Bottle you should keep well, Junior Brother..."

Liu Xinjun struggled to stand, circulated his True Qi, barely stabilized his injuries, and then took out the previously mentioned Jade Bottle and tossed it to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan extended his Divine Thought to check for discrepancies, confirmed everything, clasped his fist, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

With that said, he didn't pay any more attention to the complex expressions of the opponent. He came before He Ling True Master: "Master!"

"Well done."

He Ling True Master nodded with a cheerful smile.

"Master, the one just now was..."

Gu Yuan brought up that white-robed man from just now.

The white-robed man had handsome features and an extraordinary demeanor, which made him instinctively feel a little strange.

This person seemed to have no Cultivation at all but gave him a sense of profound and unpredictable depth.

"He is your eldest senior brother, Li Changsheng."

He Ling True Master replied.

Li Changsheng?

The one First True Inheritance of Medicine King Mountain, known as the Primordial Spirit Seed, Li Changsheng?!

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He was very familiar with the name, he had heard his ear grow calluses from it.

This person was the leading figure of the prominent family faction, suppressing the entire young generation of disciples within the sect with his power alone.

Unexpectedly, his battle just now had alarmed this character.

"You needn't think too much about it."

He Ling True Master transmitted a voice with a calm tone, "Though he's a great adversary of our sect's line, with his pride, he would never resort to schemes."

"With your Talent and Enlightenment, Cultivating well, there may be a chance for Pill Formation of First Grade in the future."

"As Master says."

Gu Yuan nodded, though he was a bit speechless.

He Ling True Master, a pure Sword Cultivator, always seen himself highly, acted decisively and straightforwardly.

Even in the face of a Golden Core Great Cultivator like Baochan True Master, he could still draw his sword without hesitation.

Yet now, facing Li Changsheng, he spoke such words, clearly showing even he had a bit of apprehension towards Li Changsheng.

Both were Saint-Entering Golden Pill, yet Li Changsheng possessed a Pure Yang Dao Body, with the Pill Formation of First Grade, having great prospects, regarded throughout Medicine King Mountain as the future Primordial Spirit True Immortal.

As for He Ling True Master, according to what Gu Yuan knew, had the Spirit Sword Bone Talent, with the Pill Formation of Upper Grade, but compared to Li Changsheng, was a step lower, being Pill Formation of Second Grade.

While this still promised a bright future, and the potential to ascend to Primordial Spirit, generally, it would be the fruition of the Yang Spirit Dragon Sect.

Under such circumstances, it was no wonder He Ling True Master would react this way...

...

The duel quickly concluded and came to an end.

From this day on, Gu Yuan's name spread rapidly aboard the hanging Dragon Boat.

Previously, many had heard of the name Gu Yuan, but at most, they thought of him as a lucky, talented individual.

But now, with his display in the previous duel, almost no one dared to mention the name Gu Yuan.

At least, no one dared to address him by name in his presence.

As for Gu Yuan, he was now in the Training Room, retreating to comprehend the "Chaotic Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Scripture."

From his previous magical battle with Liu Xinjun, he benefited greatly, gaining a deeper understanding of "Life-taking Sword Formulas."

Even in the "Chaotic Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Scripture," he also comprehended some essence, taking advantage of the momentum to fully digest these insights and turn them into his own foundation.

After many days in retreat, Gu Yuan opened his eyes, a faint chill gleaming in them, like two sharp beams of Sword Light.

The "Chaotic Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Scripture" indeed lived up to its status as one of the secret legacies of the Ancient Sword Immortal Dao Lineage, belonging to the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect.

Its sword principles were intricate and profound with high intentions. Cultivated to a high level, it could even slash the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit, no worse than the "Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas" he had cultivated before, and in terms of destructive power, it was even stronger.

The former pursued extreme destructive power, somewhat aggressive and domineering, severe and ruthless.

Whereas the latter was of a straightforward, balanced, and grand approach.

According to He Ling True Master, focusing solely on the "Chaotic Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Scripture" was prone to deviation, leading astray.

With the "Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas," it could correct Gu Yuan's Sword Dao, preventing it from going awry.

The combination of the two made Gu Yuan's Sword Dao foundation increasingly solid.

Gu Yuan flipped his hand and took out a Jade Bottle.

Removing the cork, a rich and complex medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Upon smelling this fragrance, Gu Yuan felt refreshed, and the circulation of his Primordial True Qi sped up a bit.

A mass of pure seven-colored Spiritual Light flew out, transforming into a Seven-Colored Sparrow, flapping its wings attempting to fly away, but was caught by Gu Yuan.

This was, of course, the Pill Spirit he obtained from his previous duel with Liu Xinjun.

It was a unique living being, formed by absorbing a wisp of Creation Qi and countless medicinal properties and essences, with the ability to harmonize medicinal properties and stabilize the furnace flame.
