“What rich spiritual energy. It seems a spiritual vein has been refined on this dragon boat.”
Gu Yuan immediately sensed the special nature of this suspended dragon boat.
The spiritual energy on the dragon boat was extremely rich and pure, several times more concentrated than the spiritual energy outside. In the distance were spiritual fields and medicine fields, planted with some spiritual grains and herbs.
Some pavilions were splendid and magnificent, built with great grandeur.
This was not only a giant flying magic treasure, but also a mobile cultivation cave from the perspective of spiritual energy!
At this moment, a group of disciples from Medicine King Mountain gathered around.
This group consisted of both men and women, all with extraordinary appearances and outstanding temperaments. Moreover, the aura on their bodies was quite powerful, some domineering, some ethereal, some deep, and some as explosive as fire.
All of them were cultivators in the Heaven-Human Realm, and judging from their aura, they were much stronger than the old man surnamed Wu and the Xuan You Old Monster.
This was not surprising.
These people in front of him were all elite disciples within Medicine King Mountain, with extremely good talent and aptitude. They cultivated superior Daoist books, often received guidance from experts of Medicine King Mountain, and did not lack cultivation resources. Naturally, they were not simple.
However, Gu Yuan noticed two people among these people.
One of these two people was dressed in a white robe, with a handsome appearance and a dashing air. He held a jade fan in his hand, and the aura on his body was mysterious and unpredictable, making it difficult for Gu Yuan to see through him.
The other person was a woman, dressed in green, with a beautiful appearance, picturesque eyebrows, a cold and indifferent expression, standing gracefully like a lotus flower emerging from the mud without being stained.
The feeling this woman gave Gu Yuan was no less than that of the white-robed youth.
“Greetings, Uncle-Master Crane Feather!”
“Greetings, Uncle-Master, your disciple greets you!”
“Ninth Elder!”
Upon seeing Real Person Crane Feather, these people greeted him one after another.
“No need to be so polite.”
Real Person Crane Feather waved his hand to help everyone up, and then said:
“This poor Daoist will introduce you.”
Immediately, Real Person Crane Feather began to introduce the identities of both parties.
He pointed to the white-robed youth and said: “This is Chu He, your senior brother… he is a true disciple of this sect.”
Immediately, Gu Yuan, Xia Xiuxue, Li Changqing and others' expressions changed slightly, and they greeted him one after another.
“Li Changqing greets Senior Brother Chu!”
“Greetings, Senior Brother…”
“Junior Brother Gu Yuan greets Senior Brother Chu!”
“…”
The handyman disciples, outer sect disciples, and inner sect disciples of Medicine King Mountain can all be directly admitted to the sect after passing the talent test.
However, true disciples are different.
The many disciples of Medicine King Mountain are gathered from the entire Qin Province, and they are all talents. Even handyman disciples are rare masters in the Jianghu.
It can be said that Medicine King Mountain has gathered the essence of the entire Qin Province.
And every true disciple of Medicine King Mountain, except for a very few people, are geniuses among geniuses who have emerged from thousands of disciples. Whether it is talent, aptitude, luck, Dao heart, will, or even divine power foundation, they are all superior.
It can be said that any true disciple, as long as no accident occurs, can basically forge a Golden Core and become a great saint-level cultivator!
Such a person will inevitably be a high-level figure in Medicine King Mountain in the future, holding great power and being admired by thousands of people. This is a certainty.
Among them, outstanding figures such as Li Changsheng even have the potential to prove the Dao and attain immortality!
Such a person, as long as they are not fools, no one will easily offend.
However, when the words “Gu Yuan” were uttered, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Chu He and the others looked over, looking at him with a somewhat curious, surprised, doubtful, suspicious, probing, unkind, gloomy, and even malicious gaze.
Facing the various gazes of so many people, Gu Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
He had expected this.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
After being detected to have two spiritual body talents, being valued by Real Person Crane Feather, and even being regarded as the future pillar of the sect, he would inevitably encounter various situations.
“So it's Junior Brother Gu Yuan.”
Chu He smiled slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: “I have heard of Junior Brother's great name for a long time. Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation.”
“Senior Brother Chu is too kind.”
Gu Yuan said modestly, his attitude neither cold nor close.
The Chu He in front of him seemed polite, but Gu Yuan, relying on his Sword Heart talent and the sword intent he had cultivated, could keenly sense a trace of hostility on his body.
Gu Yuan knew very well that there were twelve true disciple spots in Medicine King Mountain, and now there were three vacant spots, with a total of nine true disciples.
Chu He was one of them, and he came from a noble family faction.
Naturally, he would have some hostility towards himself.
In fact, among these nine true disciples, the noble family faction occupied seven spots, while the sect lineage only occupied two spots.
From this point alone, one can see the relationship between the noble family faction and the sect lineage, as well as the situation of both parties.
Real Person Crane Feather swept over the crowd and pointed to the woman who Gu Yuan felt was not simple: “And this is your Senior Sister Murong Wushuang, who is also a true disciple of this sect.”
Gu Yuan and others naturally greeted her again.
Murong Wushuang's expression was indifferent, and she nodded slightly.
Xia Xiuxue and Niu Youde were obviously somewhat in awe and at a loss towards this senior sister, and thought that Murong Wushuang did not like the two of them.
Gu Yuan didn't care about Senior Sister Murong's coldness.
This woman was also a true disciple of the noble family faction, with a cold personality, and was the same to everyone, not targeting them.
After the introduction was over, everyone could be considered to have met each other. Real Person Crane Feather summoned some maids and said to the crowd: “Alright, you can go and rest now, I will have other arrangements tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
After Niu Youde and others were taken away by the maids, Murong Wushuang and Chu He also left, leaving only Real Person Crane Feather and Gu Yuan, as well as another young man with a short and sturdy figure on the deck.
This young man was not handsome, but the aura on his body was quite hot, like a human-shaped real fire, emitting fiery light and heat at all times.
His face was ordinary, with a bit of honesty, similar to Niu Youde.
This person's surname was Sha, and his name was Luosheng. He was a disciple of the sect lineage and did not leave, obviously having a close relationship with Real Person Crane Feather.
“Uncle-Master.”
Sha Luosheng bowed respectfully.
Real Person Crane Feather waved his hand, pulling some restriction power to imprison the space, with a bit of coldness on his face: “Besides you, who else is here.”
Sha Luosheng's expression became serious, and he bowed and said: “Besides Uncle-Grandmaster Deadwood who controls the suspended dragon boat, Uncle-Master Li Changsheng is also here.”
“Li Changsheng?”
Real Person Crane Feather raised his eyebrows, revealing a bit of sneer: “Isn't he always in seclusion in the back mountain? Why is he also joining in the fun?”
“This time, the noble family faction occupies 80% of the Crimson Dragon Token spots, and our sect lineage only has a mere 20% of the spots. I won't say anything about this. But does he, a great cultivator who has forged the Golden Core, also want to squeeze the spots and opportunities of the younger generation?!”
