The aura emanating from the other person, in particular, gave Gu Yuan an unfathomable and extremely dangerous feeling.

It seemed that the person in front of him was not a person, but a monster wearing human skin!

"My surname is Lv, and my name is Kun. I am a true disciple of the Gu God Sect. My subordinate was slightly impolite just now, which must have amused Brother Gu."

The handsome young man smiled at Gu Yuan, not even glancing at his subordinate, and said softly.

"So it is Brother Lv."

Gu Yuan's face lit up with a brilliant smile, as if nothing had happened just now, and said, "I apologize, I have other matters to attend to, and can only decline Brother Lv's invitation."

Although he did not know what line this Lv Kun came from, Gu Yuan chose not to directly break face.

After all, the person in front of him was obviously not someone to be trifled with. If it wasn't necessary, it was best to avoid offending people, even if he might have already offended the other party just now.

"Haha, that's alright."

Lv Kun seemed indifferent, only saying, "To be honest, the reason I invited Brother Gu is actually to discuss a transaction."

"A transaction?"

Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that a show was about to unfold.

The true disciples of the Gu God Sect are as important as the true disciples of Medicine King Mountain, like Chu He and Murong Wushuang.

A figure like that looking for him must mean something important!

And definitely not a trivial matter.

"Indeed."

Lv Kun glanced around and said, "But it's a long story. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk about it here?"

"I've already ordered a banquet to be prepared at Cloud Peak Immortal Tower. If Brother Gu doesn't mind, how about we discuss it while dining?"

Gu Yuan waved his hand with a smile: "To be honest, Brother Lv, I really have some matters to attend to. If there's anything, please speak succinctly."

He obviously couldn't agree.

Now that He Ling True Master had gone to Red Dragon Immortal Palace, Gu Yuan had no one to protect him. Not knowing Lv Kun's background, he wouldn't follow the other's rhythm.

If the other party really had ill intentions and set up something at Cloud Peak Immortal Tower, it would be too late to regret it then.

Moreover, Lv Kun's cultivation was evidently above his, and with unclear intentions, only a fool would agree.

The middle-aged man next to Lv Kun was furious upon hearing this, "Presumptuous! Boy, how dare you, do you know..."

"Ah!"

Lv Kun raised his hand to stop him, looking at Gu Yuan with a faint smile. Not angry, he smiled and said:

"Since Brother Gu has matters, let me get straight to the point."

Lv Kun straightforwardly stated his purpose: "I heard Brother Gu has a Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly. I wonder if I might have the honor of seeing it?"

Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly?! So this fellow came for the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly!

Gu Yuan suddenly understood.

The Gu God Sect is renowned throughout the Southern Border for its Gu Refining Technique, and in the realm of Gu, virtually no other influence can surpass it.

Its disciples all regard Gu Technique as the foundation of the great path.

And Gu Dao is somewhat an unorthodox path, but it is also a grand avenue, capable of pointing directly to immortality.

Gu Yuan had heard from his master, He Ling True Master, that the Gu God Sect has several true inheritances, such as refining various exotic gu into one's clone, eventually becoming countless, with vast divine techniques, claiming immortality.

Alternatively, refining a Lifebound Gu, continuously nurturing it until it seizes its fortune, achieving one's own path to immortality.

Some are even more extremely heretical, directly achieving unity of human and gu, turning the gu into a part of the human body, similar to the path of the Artifact Cultivator.

All in all, Gu insects are obviously extremely important to disciples of the Gu God Sect.

Especially descendants of ancient exotic insects like the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly, they are certainly extraordinary!

Even back then, the Peach Blossom Immortal Qin Hongxiao was quite interested, doing whatever she could to hatch it.

As a true disciple of Gu God Sect, Lv Kun naturally has a keen interest in Gu insects, especially rare exotic gu like the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly, which possesses an unspoken allure to him and any Gu God Sect disciple!

However, this is where the problem arises.

He revealed his possession of the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly during a magical battle with Liu Xinjun on the Suspended Dragon Boat.

Besides the members of Medicine King Mountain on the Suspended Dragon Boat, no one else knew.

And those people have already gone to Red Dragon Immortal Palace.

Xia Xiuxue and Niu Youde are at Qiongming Market, so here's the issue.

Who spread the news?

Was it an accidental event or intentional?

If Lv Kun happened to learn it, it would be fine.

But if someone deliberately passed the information to Lv Kun, then this situation becomes interesting.

This implies someone might want to borrow a knife to kill...

"So Brother Lv came for my spirit pet."

Gu Yuan's smile faded a lot and he outright refused:

"I'm sorry, but that's probably not convenient."

As a rare exotic gu, the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly remains the highest in level among the six spirit pets Gu Yuan currently raises.

Its significance to Gu Yuan is also extraordinary, as his Sword Heart Talent was derived from the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly.

If he lost Xiao Qing, Gu Yuan couldn't guarantee his Sword Heart Talent wouldn't disappear.

Moreover, Xiao Qing can also be upgraded.

If it upgraded to a Cyan Jade Sword Butterfly, such an ancient exotic insect, it would be akin to raising a spirit pet with immense potential, comparable to a Primordial Spirit True Immortal in the future!

If he handed it over, he would have surely lost his mind!

Besides, the six are also cultivated diligently by him, having long been emotionally attached.

Not to mention anything else, for this reason alone, he would never casually hand them over.

Upon hearing this, Lv Kun said nothing and stared at Gu Yuan with black and white eyes, which had a hidden fierceness.

After a while, he waved his arm, and several spiritually luminous items appeared in front of him.

There was a flying sword about a foot long, overflowing with radiance and emitting a sharp aura, transparent like crystal, with countless dense talismans flowing within the sword body.

And a short cyan-glowed ruler magical artifact, carved with a scripture, seeming to be refined from a certain spirit root.

Then there was a wooden box, concealing its contents.

And a jade bottle, half-filled with liquid, its color profound, emitting an unusual aura that quickened Gu Yuan's Primordial True Qi.

"These four items are all rare treasures. For instance, this Celestial Crystal Sword is a superior magical artifact with forty-three restrictions and, more importantly, a water attribute flying sword, refined with Xuan Water Spirit Jade, full of spirituality, and very suitable for you."

"And this Cyan Luo Ruler, of an even higher grade, comes with corresponding refining incantation, both offensive and defensive, can fall into others' magical artifacts, and is a rare top-grade magical artifact."

"Including this Thunder Spider Egg and the half-bottle of Earth Essence Stone Milk, you should be aware of their high value, Brother Gu. You can choose any two, on the condition that you hand over the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly to me. What do you think?"

Lv Kun directly proposed plain and simple.
