Earlier, He Ling True Master had told Gu Yuan to investigate this matter thoroughly. Now, three months had passed, and Gu Yuan was curious whether He Ling True Master had discovered anything.
He Ling True Master fell silent at these words and did not speak for a mont. After a brief pause, he finally said, "This matter is very likely related to that You ng, but I don’t have any evidence for the ti being, although I am ninety percent confident!"
At this point, He Ling True Master looked at Gu Yuan: "As for you, you don’t need to do anything for now. With True Monarch Withered Wood overseeing things here, even if Ancestor Xuanwei ca, he would have to behave. Discuss any matters later."
Gu Yuan nodded slowly. The underlying aning of He Ling True Master’s words was quite simple; he was essentially advising that it wasn’t appropriate to take any action now. With True Monarch Withered Wood in charge, it was better to stay honest.
Wait for an opportunity to seek revenge or settle grievances after the fact when the ti is right.
Also, this kind of thing is not easy to do, because You ng True Master has backing as well.
Next, Gu Yuan chatted with He Ling True Master for a while, went to pay respects to Situ Yan, then took his leave, returning to his previous residence, the small courtyard.
Of course, this was just the surface situation.
But in reality, after leaving the Jade Cauldron Tower, Gu Yuan felt as if soone was following him.
His heart stirred, he turned his head to look, but found nothing unusual, even the sensation of being watched vanished without a trace.
"Heh... interesting..."
Gu Yuan sneered and simply continued to stroll leisurely on the street.
Even if he used his toes to think, he knew that the one secretly trailing him must be related to that You ng True Master!
Evidently, Gu Yuan’s presence caught the attention of that old thing too.
Before long, the feeling of being watched appeared once again.
Gu Yuan continued strolling nonchalantly. When he arrived at a crowded place and temporarily got rid of the surveillance, he imdiately used the Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Techniques, forming a clone which headed towards his residence.
anwhile, Gu Yuan’s true self quickly hid, changed his appearance, transforming into another form, then rented a temporary cave mansion at an inn operated by the Star River Sword Sect, renting it for about half a year, and then entered the temporary cave mansion.
This cave mansion was also within the Qiongming Market, situated midway up a mountain on an Immortal Mountain, with picturesque scenery, surrounded by lakes and waterfalls, the air delightful, and even the Spiritual Qi was quite abundant.
Surrounding it were so arrays controlled by the owner of the cave mansion.
Standing midway up the mountain provided a view of almost half of the entire Qiongming Market.
The rent for half a year was a whopping eight thousand Spirit Stones, a considerably high price for most cultivators.
Eight thousand Spirit Stones would be enough to buy a rather good quality Magical Artifact in so shops.
However, this was not surprising, as the Immortal Mountain was developed and occupied by the Star River Sword Sect. The excellent cultivation environnt alone was worth the price, let alone the various other benefits. So prominent figures simply lived for comfort and didn’t care about the Spirit Stones.
However, for a wealthy person like Gu Yuan, saying "a drop in the ocean" might be an exaggeration, but "a piece of cake" was indeed fitting.
When he previously entered the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, he had already killed Cyan Wood True Master and Black Owl, two Golden Core cultivators, and accumulated quite a few Spirit Stones.
Later, when he entered the Red Dragon Small World, he continuously killed so cultivators, including Golden Cores, reaping a full harvest.
Now, Gu Yuan had no shortage of Spirit Stones. Eight thousand Spirit Stones were nothing to him; even eighty thousand wouldn’t be hard for him to produce.
Actually, the reason Gu Yuan ca here was to avoid You ng True Master’s pursuit.
That guy clearly ant no good, certainly plotting sothing wicked.
While generally, nothing untoward happens within Qiongming Market, no one wants to court death causing trouble, Gu Yuan was busy with legitimate matters, concentrating on sacrificial refining of flying swords, enhancing cultivation, etc., with no ti to deal with that old thing.
If this guy persisted in his investigation, interrupting his proper cultivation, it would be very frustrating.
Thus, to be on the safe side, Gu Yuan chose to "disappear."
Arriving at his new residence, Gu Yuan surveyed and appreciated the surroundings with satisfaction; indeed, the environnt was excellent and relatively quiet, ensuring no disturbances.
Once the restriction was activated, even a Golden Core Great Cultivator would be troubled.
Importantly, as this was the territory of the Star River Sword Sect, even people from dicine King Mountain and Gu God Sect had to behave.
Returning to the training room, Gu Yuan opened the restriction and began taking out a few items.
One was a chunk of iron ore about the size of a head, black and shiny, its surface embedded with nurous bright silver, grape-sized tallic balls.
Each of those tallic balls was smooth and bright, without any impurities, each about the size of a dove’s egg, round and gleaming, just looking at it induced a slight stinging sensation in the eyes.
Given Gu Yuan’s cultivation and strength, feeling this sensation was enough to prove the extraordinariness of the objects before him.
There were about twenty of these tallic balls.
This object was none other than Celestial Spirit Silver Sand, one of the nine Divine Golds!
As for the other item, it was a tal about the size of an egg, golden yellow, not bright nor dazzling, emitting a thin layer of faint golden light, yet upon seeing this object, Gu Yuan’s eyes also stung, even more intensely than when looking at the Celestial Spirit Silver Sand.
When Gu Yuan opened the box revealing the tal, its surface actually brightened slightly, quivering as if possessing so special spirituality.
This item was the Geng tal Essence, like Celestial Spirit Silver Sand, also one of the nine Divine Golds.
Its greatest characteristic was its sharpness, suitable for sacrificial refining of flying swords, flying sabers, and other high-damage Magical Treasures and Spirit Treasures.
It was indeed the world’s top-grade spiritual material for refining flying swords!
Celestial Spirit Silver Sand was known for its hardness, extrely difficult to damage; so Magical Treasures and Spirit Treasures mixed with this would be exceptionally hard, almost unbreakable.
With one material boasting hardness and the other sharpness, their combination would surely enable the refinent of a Lifebound Flying Sword to satisfy Gu Yuan!
Next, Gu Yuan took out the Silver Flood Dragon Sword!
The Silver Flood Dragon Sword was three feet and five inches long, entirely silvery and bright, its blade and hilt seamlessly integrated.
The blade was thin and sharp, exuding a chilling aura, with the surface of the sword faintly showing so intricate scale-like patterns.
Just a glance could make one feel a fierce and aggressive aura coming forth.
This Silver Flood Dragon Sword, even now, wouldn’t diminish Gu Yuan’s stature if he used it.
The problem was that he often faced enemies who were Golden Core Great Cultivators, people already in contact with Magical Treasures. If Gu Yuan continued using the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, it might not always suffice, causing so issues.
Thus, it would be better to start refining anew and have it serve as his Lifebound Treasure upon advancing to a Golden Core Great Cultivator.
