"That’s right."
Yu Zhengmao nodded.
Upon hearing this, the room fell silent instantly, and everyone’s expressions turned grave. For a mont, no one spoke.
The Li Family... Gu Yuan pondered.
The Li Family ntioned by Lu Ming and the others.
It is a thousand-year cultivation family in Qinzhou, and crucially, in recent years, the Li Family produced an earth-shattering figure—Li Changsheng.
On the day this person was born, an anomaly appeared; a crimson great sun rose into the sky, with purple aura stretching for three thousand feet.
The anomaly alerted the Supre Elder of dicine King Mountain, who determined that Li Changsheng possessed the extrely rare Pure Yang Dao Body and accepted him as a direct disciple.
Li Changsheng did not disappoint the Supre Elder’s high expectations. Within just over twenty years, he forged a Golden Core, becoming an extraordinary to saintly figure.
It is said that he attained First Grade Pill Formation, known as the Primordial Spirit Seed, making him a top-tier figure of the current age and the first True Inheritance of dicine King Mountain!
The reputation and influence of the Li Family in Qinzhou also rose to a new level because of him!
However, there was one thing Gu Yuan was puzzled about.
Li Changsheng is part of the family faction within dicine King Mountain. Logically, even if the Li Family had others wishing to join dicine King Mountain, they should follow Li Changsheng’s path and join the family lineage.
"The Li Family has Li Changsheng. Why did they co specifically for He Ling True Master’s assessnt this ti?"
Soone else thought of the sa question as Gu Yuan and asked in confusion, "Knowing that Li Changsheng is the leading figure of the family lineage, while He Ling True Master belongs to the sect lineage, this... this doesn’t quite make sense, does it?"
"Perhaps this matter involves so sche by the family lineage..."
Soone said faintly.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed, but no one dared to continue the discussion.
Although they were not disciples of dicine King Mountain, they were sowhat familiar with the sect’s dynamics and naturally understood the conflict between the family lineage and the sect lineage.
Such matters were not for them to discuss. Therefore, after a mont of silence, they tactfully shifted the conversation to other topics.
...
After the al, Gu Yuan cupped his hands in farewell and left. Besides Xia Xiuxue, who stood to see him off, no one else paid him any attention.
Once Gu Yuan had left, Yu Zhengmao smiled and said,
"Third Miss, this Gu Yuan managed to beco an Innate Martial Master. Indeed, he is talented, but is it really worth your attention?"
Beside him, a beautiful woman teased, "Sister Xue, you’re from the Xia Family, and your Xia Family’s ancestor is about to form a Core. Even in dicine King Mountain, that’s prestigious. Why do you treat this young man differently? Could it be... Sister Xue, have you taken a fancy to this pretty boy?"
Upon hearing this, several others laughed.
"Brother Gu once saved my life, so it is only right to treat him with courtesy."
Xia Xiuxue replied seriously, "Moreover, if you underestimate Brother Gu because of his background, you are making a big mistake."
"An elder of mine tested his root and bone, discovering that Brother Gu possesses a top-grade Iron Bone and Soft Tendons. Even among top-grade roots and bones, it is considered superior!"
"Iron Bone and Soft Tendons?"
Others were quite surprised upon hearing this, while Lu Ming nodded slightly, "With such a root and bone, this person’s talent is indeed impressive."
He then shifted the topic, "However, in the path of cultivation, talent and roots are not the only things that matter. Background and family are equally important. With his status, even if he joins dicine King Mountain, he may not go far in the future."
Soone beside him nodded in deep agreent:
"Brother Lu is right. Those of us from affluent backgrounds, when joining dicine King Mountain, do so with the support of family elders. Our daily cultivation resources are also provided for us, which makes the path of cultivation sowhat smoother, albeit it is still fraught with difficulties."
"anwhile, disciples from ordinary backgrounds have to rely on themselves to earn their cultivation resources. This inevitably delays their cultivation, making their path even more arduous."
Seeing the others still dismissive of Gu Yuan, Xia Xiuxue felt a bit odd and asked:
"Do you all know how long it took Brother Gu to go from starting martial arts and cultivation to becoming an Innate Martial Master?"
Seeing Xia Xiuxue’s unusual reaction, soone finally realized sothing was off, and the beautiful lady beside her asked in confusion:
"Are you saying this Gu Yuan didn’t start cultivating from a young age? But only got into martial arts later?"
"That’s correct."
Xia Xiuxue looked at the crowd before her and said solemnly, "Brother Gu began his martial training in early winter last year and reached the Innate Martial Master level within just three months."
"And now, I suspect he has achieved Great Success in Marrow Cleansing and reached the Blood Exchange phase..."
Xia Xiuxue’s statent rendered the room silent once again.
Everyone was dumbfounded and astonished.
"Three months? Sister Xue, you must be joking with us, right?"
The beautiful lady nearby couldn’t help but voice her skepticism.
Her doubt was understandable, as Xia Xiuxue’s claim was indeed extraordinary.
Becoming a Martial Master and then an Innate Martial Master, although considered foundational phases before entering the path, aren’t accomplishnts achieved easily.
Three months is hardly enough ti for an ordinary person to lay the foundation to beco a Martial Master.
To rise from an ordinary person to an Innate Martial Master in such a tifra, if it were Li Changsheng, soone might believe it.
After all, with the Pure Yang Dao Body, one might possess so unfathomable special abilities.
But for Gu Yuan, an ordinary person, how could his cultivation speed be so fast?
"If you don’t believe it, you can investigate it yourself."
Xia Xiuxue didn’t provide further explanation, but because of this, others also believed her words.
"I underestimated it; who would have thought that a small place like Beiliang County would have such a figure..."
Lu Ming, calming his inner amazent and shock, sighed.
For Gu Yuan to beco an Innate Martial Master so quickly, he either possesses so unknown hidden talent.
Or, he was fortunate enough to obtain so kind of opportunity from predecessors.
If he has hidden talent, it certainly deserves attention.
If it’s due to a predecessor’s opportunity that he beca an Innate Martial Master, it further indicates Gu Yuan’s good fortune and luck!
In the cultivation realm, talent is undoubtedly important, but fortune and luck are also not to be underestimated!
So with great luck might even stumble upon fragnts of ancient spiritual treasures at a market, or fall into a mountain ravine and acquire the heritage of ancient cultivators, or previous spirit pills.
Whatever the case may be with Gu Yuan, he should not be underestimated.
In addition to their amazent, others regretted not having chatted with Gu Yuan and building so goodwill with him earlier.
A figure like him, if he could join dicine King Mountain, would surely thrive in cultivation!
The beautiful lady beside her eyes were gleaming, and she moved closer, "Sister Xue, next ti, please introduce this Brother Gu to ."
Xia Xiuxue shook her head secretly; she had noticed the way these people treated Gu Yuan just monts ago.
If they had been proactive and more polite at the start, they might have been able to form so connections with Gu Yuan.
Next ti, Gu Yuan isn’t a fool, how could he not see through these people’s hypocritical attitudes?
