#140 - Gu Yuan tests and He Ling is surprised!
“This is a spiritual body?!
How is that possible? Li Changqing is one thing, but how could this guy also possess a spiritual body?!”
The others were in an uproar, unable to believe it.
They could accept Li Changqing's spiritual body talent because there were already rumors that he possessed one, and his elder brother, Li Changsheng, was a shining example.
No one found it strange or unfair that he tested positive for a spiritual body.
However, it was hard for many to accept that Niu Youde, a simply dressed, seemingly honest, and unremarkable peasant, also possessed a spiritual body!
“Rooted to the ground and closely connected to the power of earth, manifesting as a mountain, this should be an earth-type spiritual body, the Mountain Spirit Body.”
Seeing this, Zhenren Heling's indifferent expression softened, and his gaze towards Niu Youde showed a hint of a smile:
“What is your name?”
Niu Youde honestly replied: “Disciple Niu Youde.”
“Niu Youde…”
Zhenren Heling nodded:
“With your talent, you are qualified to join my Medicine King Mountain and become an inner disciple. If you can build a superior Dao foundation and cultivate amazing divine powers, even advancing to a true disciple is not impossible.”
Zhenren Heling was very satisfied. With Niu Youde, his trip was not in vain.
Leaving Li Changqing aside, he was able to recruit an earth-type spiritual body and half a wood-type spiritual body. Who would dare to say he was wrong when he returned to the mountain gate?
After this trip, he could finally give an explanation to others.
The only pity was that Niu Youde's spiritual body was of the earth element, which did not match his swordsmanship, and he probably did not have much of a master-disciple relationship with him.
Xia Xiuxue was also a little surprised. Her Hundred Herbs Body was already rare, but Li Changqing's Crimson Cauldron Spiritual Body steadily overshadowed her, and now another earth-type spiritual body had emerged.
Were spiritual bodies becoming so common now?
“Mountain Spirit Body?”
Noticing the complex and varied gazes around him, filled with envy and jealousy, Niu Youde was somewhat bewildered, nervous, and at a loss, unsure of where to put his hands.
He subconsciously looked at Gu Yuan, the only person he knew, and felt a little more at ease when Gu Yuan nodded to him.
After listening to Zhenren Heling's words, he finally understood that he had tested positive for a spiritual body and could now join Medicine King Mountain and become an inner disciple!
“Disciple Niu Youde, thank you, Zhenren!”
After bowing respectfully, he retreated to the side.
Ignoring Li Changqing's slightly hostile scrutiny on his right, he began to chat with Gu Yuan.
Zhenren Heling withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, and then he heard Zhenren Baochan's sour words from the side:
“Brother Heling is really lucky to have recruited another Mountain Spirit Body…”
First, the Hundred Herbs Body, then the Crimson Cauldron Spiritual Body, and now a Mountain Spirit Body.
Heling's luck was really good, and even he was quite envious.
It was conceivable that with the addition of these good seedlings, Medicine King Mountain would definitely produce a generation of talented people and give birth to several cultivation seeds.
However, this was not good news for their Gu God Sect.
Zhenren Heling ignored the old toad's sour remarks and looked at Gu Yuan: “Begin.”
The young man in front of him had a pure aura, and his swordsmanship seemed to be well-honed. After Niu Youde's example, he could not help but feel a little expectant.
“Junior obeys!”
Gu Yuan came to the Xuanji Disk, first bowed to Zhenren Heling, and then reached out and pressed his hand on the Xuanji Disk.
Gu Yuan immediately felt a strange wave surging out from the Xuanji Disk, instantly sweeping through his entire body, inside and out, and even his soul.
Almost at the same time, the Xuanji Disk lit up with a clear, water-like light.
This light was not dazzling, but it was pure, with a hint of gentle and lingering meaning, and the faint sound of flowing water.
“This… another spiritual body! How is that possible?!”
Someone's expression suddenly changed, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, looking at Gu Yuan with shock and astonishment, as if they had seen a ghost!
First, the Hundred Herbs Body, then the Crimson Cauldron Spiritual Body, and then the Mountain Spirit Body.
There were already enough spiritual bodies appearing today…
But now, another one actually appeared!
The others also felt incredible.
What was going on today?
Spiritual bodies, which were rare in normal times, were now appearing one after another.
“This child actually possesses a spiritual body?! Isn't he Iron Bone Supple Tendons?”
Xia Mingyang in the distance looked bewildered.
He had clearly detected Iron Bone Supple Tendons in Gu Yuan before. How long had it been, and it had turned into a spiritual body?
“Could it be a hidden talent?”
After thinking about it, Xia Mingyang could only think of this possibility.
Compared to Xia Mingyang, Xia Xiuxue was shocked, but she quickly accepted it.
“As expected! There's a reason why Gu Yuan's cultivation speed is so fast.”
Lu Ming, Yu Zhengmao, and others had complex expressions and mixed feelings.
They did not expect Gu Yuan's talent to be so good.
“A spiritual body! And a water-type spiritual body…”
Li Changqing frowned upon seeing this, also feeling very surprised, and his gaze towards Gu Yuan became more hostile.
As a direct descendant of the Li family and the younger brother of Li Changsheng, and possessing the Crimson Cauldron Spiritual Body, it was not difficult for him to join Medicine King Mountain.
The reason why he was able to come and accept the assessment of the elders of the sect was not only his idea, but also the consideration and planning of the aristocratic family faction.
The purpose was to insert him into it and quickly grow up to become the mainstay of the sect lineage, and then gradually grasp the power of the sect lineage and cooperate with the aristocratic family faction.
However, now, first Niu Youde, and then Gu Yuan, the appearance of these two spiritual bodies, whether intentional or unintentional, had already disrupted the plans of him and the people behind him!
If there were no these two people, Xia Xiuxue would not be a concern, and he could naturally follow the plan openly. Even if someone was wary of him, it would not matter, and it would not affect the overall situation.
But with Niu Youde and Gu Yuan, these two geniuses with clean backgrounds, who would pay attention to him knowing that he was a nail inserted into the sect lineage?
In particular, Gu Yuan was actually a water-type spiritual body, which restrained his fire-type spiritual body.
This person is likely to become his opponent in the future!
…
“Good! Very good!”
Zhenren Heling stroked his palms and smiled. He was in a good mood, and there was no way he could not be.
Who told him that he was so lucky today, sifting through the sand for gold? He thought he couldn't sift anything out, but who knew he would sift out gold nuggets one after another.
For him, it was simply a series of surprises!
The changes on the Xuanji Disk were still continuing.
As the clear light flowed, these lights transformed into a body of water, the water was deep and bottomless, and something seemed to be hidden deep within it, faintly revealing a grand aura that encompassed the four seas and embraced all things!
