Chapter 523 - 522: Visiting Yan Pure Yang!
Just a moment ago, this Uncle in the end couldn’t withstand his heavy injuries, his life flickered and faded, and his Divine Soul dissipated right before Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan watched this scene with wide eyes, feeling somewhat at a loss.
Though his time with this Uncle wasn’t long, there were very few people who treated him so sincerely.
As for Profound Origin Daoist, after Uncle Zhang’s death, he repeatedly advised Gu Yuan to stay out of Chaotic Heaven Elder’s affairs, at least until he becomes strong enough, not to provoke this mighty Yang Spirit. After Gu Yuan solemnly promised, he returned to the Purple Cyan Jade Gourd.
Although Gu Yuan agreed with Profound Origin Daoist...
He truly planned to investigate this matter, at least to figure out the copper bottle’s origins.
Chaotic Heaven Elder is beyond his reach for now, but simply investigating shouldn’t be a problem, right?
...
Gu Yuan took out the sword-shaped jade talisman given by Yan Pure Yang earlier, and began to contact Yan Pure Yang.
After inquiring, he learned Yan Pure Yang’s location, Gu Yuan then left the cave mansion, heading directly to where Yan Pure Yang was.
About half an hour later, Gu Yuan arrived at the lakeside of a large lake.
Here, some buildings were constructed beside mountains and water.
Gu Yuan headed straight to a lakeside courtyard and knocked on the gate.
Soon, the gate opened.
Opening the door was a young boy, around ten years old, with rosy lips and white teeth, and a slightly tender face resembling an apple, looking quite adorable.
However, despite his young age, the boy carried a small shortsword on his back, and his brow already bore a sharp Sword Qi.
Even his cultivation wasn’t weak; Gu Yuan noticed a strong and pure flow of True Qi within the boy.
This boy, clearly, had already cultivated Dao Foundation, becoming a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator.
"Yet another Sword Dao Genius!"
Gu Yuan couldn’t help but praise silently.
The boy may be young, but his cultivation was not weak, having reached Celestial Human Realm at such a tender age.
Moreover, Gu Yuan sensed a strangely familiar feeling from the boy.
As if, the aura this boy emanated was somehow similar to his own?
"Are you Mr. Chu?"
The boy respectfully bowed upon seeing Gu Yuan.
"That’s me."
Gu Yuan nodded.
Previously, he had told Yan Pure Yang that he was currently traveling under the identity of Chu He, so Yan Pure Yang must have informed the disciple about it.
"Disciple Qi Yingyang greets Mr. Chu. My master ordered me to await your arrival here, please come in, my master is waiting for you inside."
"Alright."
Gu Yuan nodded, following the boy Qi Yingyang into the courtyard.
The courtyard was a two-part setup; upon reaching the backyard, Gu Yuan saw Yan Pure Yang at first glance.
At the moment, Yan Pure Yang was wearing loose clothing, sleeves fluttering, appearing less formidable than before.
Currently, Yan Pure Yang was watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard with a gourd ladle.
Though the flowers weren’t particularly valuable, they were well-groomed and thriving, clearly showing care from the owner.
"Yan Daoist."
Gu Yuan greeted with a smile.
"Brother Gu, have a seat."
Seeing Gu Yuan, Yan Pure Yang rarely showed a smile, which startled Qi Yingyang serving by the side.
Having been apprenticed for six years, he knew well what kind of person his master was.
Even when fellow disciples or renowned masters visited, his master rarely showed emotion or smiled. This was the first time he had seen such a reaction from his master.
"Why aren’t you serving tea to Uncle Chu?"
Yan Pure Yang saw his disciple standing dazed, dissatisfied, he huffed coldly, scaring Qi Yingyang who jolted then quickly started preparing Spirit Tea.
"Brother Yan has indeed found a good disciple."
Gu Yuan praised.
With his eyesight, of course, he noticed the traits at first glance.
"This child hails from a small family’s branch, losing his parents early on, life’s been harsh."
Yan Pure Yang’s expression remained calm: "Thankfully he possessed a bit of swordsmanship talent, at seven he managed to comprehend swordsmanship’s Sword Intent, stepping into cultivation; I happened to pass by, recognized his talent, and decided to teach him a little."
Meanwhile, Qi Yingyang approached with Spirit Tea, placing it before Gu Yuan and Yan Pure Yang, ignoring his master’s comments about him.
Gu Yuan glanced at him, remarking: "Steady in temperament, Sword Heart Talent, even with a body of Sword Bone, Brother Yan, your disciple is truly a Swordmanship Genius, with limitless prospects ahead, certainly can inherit your legacy."
This young boy Qi Yingyang indeed possessed dual talents, Sword Heart Talent and Sword Bone Talent.
Speaking of which, Qi Yingyang’s Sword Heart Talent was the same as the Sword Heart Talent Gu Yuan acquired earlier, perhaps the only difference being, Gu Yuan obtained his from the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly, whereas Qi Yingyang’s came from his mother’s womb.
As for Sword Bone Talent...
Qi Yingyang’s Sword Bone Talent was similarly innate, born from his mother’s womb, but Gu Yuan’s Innate Sword Bone came from the Cyan Jade Sword Butterfly.
Moreover, even though Qi Yingyang’s Sword Bone was innately born, it was still simply a Sword Bone, comparable in reputation to Sword Heart Talent.
As for Gu Yuan’s Innate Sword Bone, it was a higher Dao Body Talent, akin to Pure Yang Dao Body, Innate Dao Body, and Creation Spirit Body.
Thus, although Qi Yingyang’s talents were excellent, as rare Dual Spirit Body Talents, similar to when Gu Yuan joined Medicine King Mountain over two years ago, also having Dual Spirit Body Talents.
Yet now, Gu Yuan has surpassed his past self, not to mention other aspects, solely the talents of Innate Sword Bone and Creation Spirit Body alone surpass Qi Yingyang’s two talents.
Needless to say, Gu Yuan’s Innate Sword Bone and Sword Heart Talent have blended into one, having undergone numerous refinement processes, thus placing Qi Yingyang far behind.
Certainly, Gu Yuan didn’t belittle the boy; rather, he was reminded of his own youthful experience joining Medicine King Mountain.
Back then, he was equally inexperienced.
Furthermore, his abundant talents were thanks to the Spirit Pet System cheat.
"Brother Chu, you’re too kind."
Yan Pure Yang shook his head.
"His little talent cannot compare to your Innate Sword Bone."
"Brother Yan sure has a keen eye."
Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, smiled and nodded, without denying, then curiously asked: "Did Brother Yan ever see any other Innate Sword Bones?"
"One of my mentors possessed such a talent, thus,"
Yan Pure Yang’s gaze paused on Gu Yuan, then puzzled: "But... Brother Chu, your aura somehow doesn’t quite resemble Innate Sword Bone Talent."
