#131 - Dumbfounded, arrogant at first but respectful later!
"Not bad."
Yu Zhengmao nodded.
Hearing this, the room fell silent, and everyone looked solemn. For a moment, no one spoke.
The Li family... Gu Yuan pondered.
The Li family that Lu Ming and the others were talking about.
Was a millennium cultivation family in Qinzhou. The key point was that the Li family had produced a shocking figure in recent years—Li Changsheng.
On the day of his birth, an unusual phenomenon appeared: a round of scarlet sun rose into the sky, and purple energy stretched for three thousand feet.
The phenomenon alarmed the Supreme Elder of Yaowang Mountain, who determined that Li Changsheng possessed the rare Pure Yang Dao Body and accepted him as his personal disciple.
And Li Changsheng did not disappoint the Supreme Elder of Yaowang Mountain. He only used more than twenty years to forge the Golden Core and transcend into sainthood.
It is said that this person's Core is of the highest grade, known as the Seed of the Primordial Spirit, and is a first-class figure in the world. At the same time, he is also the number one true disciple of Yaowang Mountain!
The Li family of Qinzhou's reputation and power have also reached a new level because of him!
However, there was one thing that Gu Yuan was very puzzled about.
Li Changsheng was a member of the aristocratic faction of Yaowang Mountain. Logically speaking, even if someone from the Li family wanted to join Yaowang Mountain, they should go through Li Changsheng's connections and join the aristocratic lineage.
"Since the Li family has Li Changsheng, why did they specially come to accept the assessment of True Master Hueling this time?"
Someone else thought of the same question as Gu Yuan and asked in confusion, "You must know that Li Changsheng is the pillar of the aristocratic lineage, and True Master Hueling is of the sect lineage. This... this is a bit unreasonable, right?"
"Perhaps, this matter involves the planning of the aristocratic lineage, it's hard to say..."
Someone said quietly.
As soon as this was said, everyone's faces changed, but no one dared to respond.
Although they were not disciples of Yaowang Mountain, they knew a little about the situation of Yaowang Mountain, so they naturally understood the conflict between the aristocratic lineage and the sect lineage.
This was not something they could talk about, so after a moment of silence, everyone tacitly changed the topic and talked about other things.
...
After eating, Gu Yuan cupped his hands and bid farewell. Except for Xia Xiuxue who got up to see him off, no one else paid any attention to him.
After Gu Yuan left, Yu Zhengmao smiled and said:
"Third Miss, this Gu Yuan is indeed a talent to be able to cultivate into an Acquired Martial Master, but he is not worth your courteous treatment, right?"
A beautiful woman next to him teased: "Sister Xue, you were born into the Xia family, and your Xia family's ancestor is about to form a Core. In terms of status, you are also one of the best in Yaowang Mountain. Why do you treat this kid differently? Could it be... Sister Xue, are you in love with this pretty boy?"
Hearing this, some of the others laughed.
"Brother Gu once saved my life, it is only right for me to be polite to him."
Xia Xiuxue said seriously: "Moreover, if you really underestimate Brother Gu because of his background, then you are very wrong."
"Before, an elder of mine tested his bones and found that Brother Gu has superior iron bone and soft tendon. Even among superior bones, he is top-notch!"
"Iron bone and soft tendon?"
The others were a little surprised when they heard this, but Lu Ming nodded slightly: "With this kind of bone structure, this person's talent is indeed good."
He changed the subject: "However, the path of cultivation depends not only on talent and bone structure, but also on background. With his status, even if he joins Yaowang Mountain, he may not be able to go too far in the future."
A person next to him nodded in agreement:
"Brother Lu is right. We were born into wealthy families. If we really join Yaowang Mountain, we will also have family elders to help us. We can also have someone help us with the various cultivation resources we need on weekdays. In this way, the path of cultivation will be easier, but it is still rugged and bumpy."
"And ordinary disciples can only rely on themselves to find ways to earn cultivation resources. Over time, it will inevitably delay their cultivation, and the path will only be more difficult."
Seeing that everyone still didn't take Gu Yuan seriously, a strange look appeared on Xia Xiuxue's face. She asked:
"Do you know how long it took Brother Gu from the beginning of his contact with martial arts cultivation to becoming an Acquired Martial Master?"
Seeing Xia Xiuxue's unusual reaction, someone finally realized that something was wrong. The beautiful woman next to him asked in confusion:
"Could it be that this kid named Gu Yuan didn't start practicing martial arts since he was a child? But came into contact with martial arts later?"
"That's right."
Xia Xiuxue looked at the people in front of her and said seriously: "Brother Gu only started practicing martial arts at the beginning of last winter, and it only took him three months to become an Acquired Martial Master."
"As for now, I suspect that he has already completed the Marrow Washing and reached the stage of Blood Exchange..."
As soon as Xia Xiuxue said this, the box suddenly fell silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded and stunned.
"Three months? Sister Xue, you're not kidding us, are you?"
The beautiful woman next to him couldn't help but question.
No wonder she suspected, it was really that Xia Xiuxue's words were too exaggerated.
Martial Master and Acquired Martial Master, although they are only two stages of laying the foundation before entering the Dao, they are not so simple to achieve.
The latest novels are available at Six 9 Books Bar!
Three months, this amount of time is not enough for ordinary people to lay the foundation to become a Martial Master.
It only took this amount of time to become an Acquired Martial Master from an ordinary person. If this were to be replaced by someone like Li Changsheng, some people might believe it.
After all, he has a Pure Yang Dao Body, and maybe he has some incredible special abilities.
But Gu Yuan is 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 explain much, but because of this, everyone believed her words.
"I misjudged him. I didn't expect that there would be such a character in the small Beiliang County..."
Lu Ming calmed down the shock and astonishment in his heart and sighed.
Gu Yuan can become an Acquired Martial Master so quickly, either he himself may have some unknown hidden talent.
Or he is lucky and got some opportunity from his predecessors.
If he has hidden talent, then of course he is worth paying attention to.
If he became an Acquired Martial Master because he got the opportunity from his predecessors, it shows that Gu Yuan's luck and fortune are good!
In the cultivation world, talent is of course important, but luck and fortune should not be underestimated!
Some people with great luck can even pick up fragments of ancient spiritual treasures when they visit a workshop, and fall into a cliff to obtain the inheritance of ancient cultivators and the elixir of their predecessors.
No matter which situation Gu Yuan is in, he should not be underestimated.
While the others were amazed, they also regretted why they hadn't been able to talk to Gu Yuan just now and make some good connections.
If such a person can join Yaowang Mountain, he will definitely be able to thrive in his cultivation in the future!
The beautiful woman next to him had her eyes flashing and leaned over: "Sister Xue, you must introduce this Brother Gu to my little sister next time."
Xia Xiuxue shook her head secretly in her heart. She had seen the attitude of these people towards Gu Yuan just now.
If these people had been more proactive at the beginning and had a better attitude, they might have been able to take the opportunity to build some friendship with Gu Yuan.
Next time, Gu Yuan is not a fool, how can he not see the hypocritical faces of these people?
