#142 - Gu Yuan is being fought over!
#142 - Gu Yuan is being fought over!
Realist He Ling's meaning couldn't be clearer.
Gu Yuan's talent was more than enough to make him a direct disciple, but becoming a direct disciple wasn't something you could just decide to do.
It wasn't just about having good aptitude and talent.
There were only two paths to becoming a direct disciple.
One was to gain the favor of the Supreme Elder, like Sun Zhong, who possessed the Five Thunder Divine Body talent, and took this path.
The other path was to compete with other inner disciples after advancing to the Celestial Realm, and the ultimate victor could also become a direct disciple.
To use Gu Yuan's analogy from his previous life of going to college, Sun Zhong took the "special admission" route, while most others took the normal college entrance exam.
As for Gu Yuan, the possibility of taking the "special admission" route was small, but with his talent, he could become a direct disciple through the "college entrance exam" sooner or later as long as he cultivated (studied) step by step.
"It's good that you understand."
Realist He Ling nodded with satisfaction.
The more he looked at Gu Yuan now, the more satisfied he became. Not only was his talent extremely good, but he was also well-behaved, polite, and had a clever personality.
Such a personality was obviously better than the honest and simple Niu Youde, and he would obviously take fewer detours.
"Water-attribute spiritual body, sword heart talent…"
Xing Yunzi walked over, reached out and pinched Gu Yuan's arm, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Fellow Daoist He Ling is really lucky. This kid's talent is indeed outstanding, no less than my newly accepted inferior disciple."
With his cultivation, he could naturally detect that Gu Yuan's foundation was pure and solid, and his bones were excellent, like a crystal clear spiritual pearl, round and translucent.
Such a good seedling, if he wasn't clear that Realist He Ling would never give way, he would have wanted to take him under his wing.
Gu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable. Although this Xing Yunzi was short, standing next to him gave Gu Yuan the feeling of standing next to an ancient and huge star beast.
"Fellow Daoist is too kind. Your disciple's Primordial Chen Sword Body is naturally compatible with your Star River Sword Sect's Dao techniques and divine powers. How can this kid compare…"
Realist He Ling vaguely saw Xing Yunzi's plan. He was vigilant in his heart and pulled Gu Yuan to his side without showing any signs.
This kind of treasure, not to mention Xing Yunzi, even if his few fellow brothers wanted to intervene, he would never allow it!
Whoever dared to target Gu Yuan would have to ask him if his sword agreed first!
Xing Yunzi smiled dumbly when he saw this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Realist He Ling's reaction.
If he hadn't met that disciple with the Primordial Chen Sword Bone before, he might have really been tempted and tried to snatch Gu Yuan away.
Magical artifacts are easy to obtain, but good disciples are hard to find.
For cultivators like him who have achieved success in cultivation, nothing is more important than the inheritance of their own Dao tradition.
Many old-fashioned cultivators even regard the inheritance of their Dao tradition as more important than their own lives!
If they can receive a disciple with excellent talent to inherit their own Dao tradition, they can not only entrust the inheritance, but also have the closest and most trustworthy helper in the future if the disciple succeeds in cultivation, and may even promote the master's success in Dao.
Disciple, disciple, to some extent, a disciple is actually a son!
Realist Bao Chan came up and showed a kind and slightly flattering smile:
"Brother He Ling, you also know that my aptitude is not very good. I have been stuck in the Golden Core Realm for a hundred years without making any progress. Now I don't have much hope for the Yin Divinity Realm. The only regret in my life is that there is no one to inherit my mantle, so…"
"Old toad, don't even think about it!"
Before he could speak, Realist He Ling understood what he meant.
Realist He Ling's face turned cold, and a compelling sharp aura emanated, causing everyone around him to change color. They only felt a stabbing pain in their chest and throat, as if they were being held back by a sharp sword.
Their sect's lineage was now withering, with a lack of successors, and they were being suppressed by the aristocratic family lineage so much that they could hardly breathe.
The older generation was fine, but the younger generation had no one who could take on the heavy responsibility at all. If the layer was broken, Yaowang Mountain would be controlled by those guys from the aristocratic family faction!
Now they had finally recruited a few good seedlings, especially Gu Yuan, who he had regarded as the helmsman of the future to revitalize the sect's lineage. This old thing, Realist Bao Chan, actually wanted to intercept him halfway, how could this be possible?!
"This Realist He Ling has such a strong sword Dao cultivation… His swordsmanship has probably reached the realm of sword heart enlightenment. He can be called a sword immortal…"
Feeling the agile and fierce sword intent inspired by Realist He Ling, Gu Yuan's expression changed slightly.
The more ignorant you are, the more fearless you are.
In the past, Gu Yuan would naturally not have noticed anything, but now that he possessed the sword heart talent, he saw more and more things.
Realist He Ling didn't even offer a flying sword, didn't circulate his mana, and didn't use any divine powers.

Just by urging a wisp of sword intent, he easily forced back hundreds of martial masters and innate martial masters present, including Celestial Realm cultivators like Xia Mingyang. What kind of swordsmanship was this?!
Even Xing Yunzi raised his eyebrows, somewhat astonished.
The Star River Sword Sect has two major inheritances: the Star Dao technique and swordsmanship. There are many famous swordsmen in the sect.
Including Xing Yunzi himself, he is also a master swordsman.
However, when he saw Realist He Ling's swordsmanship at this time, he suddenly exclaimed in amazement that within the huge mountain gate, those who could match Realist He Ling's swordsmanship in terms of swordsmanship… probably wouldn't exceed five fingers.
"Hey… Brother He Ling, don't be in a hurry to refuse!"
Realist Bao Chan waved his hand. He wasn't surprised by Realist He Ling's reaction. If he were Realist He Ling, he would probably have the same reaction.
The smile on his face was strange, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, your natal flying sword is now being refined at a critical time, right?"
"Your flying sword was originally a sword embryo of superior quality, with a good foundation. After you have refined it with various spiritual iron and strange gold for more than a hundred years, it is already about to be completely restricted. Once it succeeds, you can harvest a top-grade magic weapon-level flying sword. It may not be impossible to be promoted to a magic treasure in the future. It's just that this step is not difficult, but it is definitely not easy!"
Realist Bao Chan said to himself, pointing to Gu Yuan: "However, if you give this son to me, I will give you a piece of Six Yang True Gold that weighs more than five hundred catties, which I accidentally obtained before. How about that?"
Gu Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped. He felt a little puzzled in his heart and wanted to say, 'Have you asked for my opinion after fighting for it?'
But he didn't dare. It was foolish to rashly offend a Golden Core Grand Cultivator.
"Six Yang True Gold?!"
Xing Yunzi couldn't help but be moved when he heard this:
"This Six Yang True Gold is the most top-notch spiritual material for refining flying swords under the Nine Great Divine Golds such as Western True Gold, Taiyi Yuan Gold, Nine Nether Devil Iron, Heavenly River Star Sand, Taibai Gold Essence, and Heavenly Gang Silver Sand. It is more than enough to refine magic treasures. Fellow Daoist Bao Chan has such a big hand!"
Even he was quite moved by this top-notch spiritual material!
After all, he also cultivated the Sword Dao and also needed to temper his flying sword!
