CHAPTER 103: CHAPTER 102: PRIMORDIAL SWORD BONE!

"Haha, the old man is indeed an honest person."

Bao Datong expressed his approval: "However, your thinking is indeed feasible."

"Now that the Red Dragon Immortal Palace has emerged, Shengyang Prefecture has practically become the dragon’s lair and tiger’s den."

"Once the Immortal Palace opens, it will definitely incite a great battle. At that time, ordinary Martial Masters and even Innate Martial Masters may not even get close, let alone seize the opportunities within. The more greedy you are, the faster you’ll perish!"

"On the contrary, if you can apprentice under a cultivator, that’s a tangible benefit."

Bao Datong agreed with the grandfather and grandson’s approach.

A person can be insatiably greedy, but they must not be blinded by their desires and greed, or else they are courting disaster.

Others have their eyes set on the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, eagerly plotting to obtain its immortal fate.

However, this old man is different. He thinks the emergence of the Immortal Palace will attract many cultivators, so he wants to take the opportunity to find a master for his grandson.

Being able to size up the situation, not being obsessed with personal gain, and only seeking what they want, this old man is truly a smart person!

Gu Yuan also glanced at the old man.

Inwardly, he held him in higher regard.

Having different goals naturally leads to drastically different outcomes.

Others aim for the Immortal Palace, but the old man goes against the current, targeting the cultivators attracted by the Immortal Palace, truly a cunning old fox.

However, this young man is fortunate to have his grandfather planning and worrying for him.

Unlike himself, who must rely on his own efforts to obtain the True Daoist Technique.

Bao Datong laughed and said:

"Recently, a prominent figure from the Star River Sword Sect, while traveling through Qinzhou, encountered an immortal seedling with a Primordial Sword Bone and immediately took him as a direct disciple, planning to hold an apprentice ceremony upon returning to the mountain, accepting him as a True Disciple, securing a high position with great authority, and a promising immortal future."

"You should know that the Star River Sword Sect is the only Great Immortal Sect in Bingzhou. Entering the sect as a True Disciple means one is destined to forge a Golden Core, gain a long lifespan, become immortal, and decide the life and death of tens of thousands with a word. Such an encounter and opportunity are akin to ascending to the heavens in a single step. The boy named Ye Yunlang truly envies many people."

"Primordial Sword Bone?"

Gu Yuan, who had been silent, spoke up, his voice tinged with curiosity.

"I am Bao Datong. May I know this brother’s esteemed surname and name?"

Bao Datong’s eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands.

"I am Yan Shisan."

Gu Yuan calmly replied.

"So, it’s Brother Yan."

Bao Datong wasn’t bothered by Gu Yuan’s aloofness and explained:

"The Primordial Sword Bone is actually an extremely rare physique, with a natural affinity for the celestial star force, inherently suitable for practicing the Sword Dao. Compared to others, it is more suited for cultivating the Daoist Scripture Divine Techniques of the Star River Sword Sect!"

Gu Yuan nodded lightly, as if with deep meaning: "Brother Bao is well-informed, knowing so many things."

At the same time, he pondered on the level of the Primordial Sword Bone as innate talent.

His Iron Bone and Soft Tendons are already considered excellent innate talents in the eyes of ordinary martial artists.

But ultimately, it is just a superior mortal physique, still a "mundane mortal body," at most the pinnacle of mortal physiques.

Above mortal bodies, there are divisions into Spiritual Bodies and Dao Bodies.

For example, Wood Spirit Body, Gui Water Body, Fire Spirit Body, Six Yin Extinct Vein, Wind Spirit Body, are all within the realm of Spiritual Bodies.

Such physiques not only possess excellent innate talents and enlightenment but are also inherently suited to cultivating certain attribute-based Daoist Scripture Divine Techniques, often with high potential, achieving with slight effort what others may never accomplish in a lifetime.

Once they appear, they become the targets of many Great Immortal Sect’s competition.

Gu Yuan had previously considered joining Medicine King Mountain, but was disheartened by Old Man Chen’s words, saying he was too old and Medicine King Mountain’s recruitment period had passed, so they wouldn’t accept him.

However, if he had a certain Spiritual Body, these issues would not be issues, and Medicine King Mountain would most likely pursue him actively.

After all, rules are man-made.

But once someone has the ability to break the rules or has the qualification to allow people to make exceptions, those rules naturally become irrelevant.

As for the Primordial Sword Bone, just by hearing it, one can tell it’s a special physique. However, Gu Yuan had never heard of it.

But that’s no surprise, as there are countless Spiritual Bodies and Dao Bodies in the world.

Take himself, for example, once the Ao Da is upgraded or the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly is tamed, he too will gain new talents, and his physique will undergo a transformation.

At that time, his physique might be a new physique never seen before.

"Hahaha... Brother Yan’s praise is misplaced. I, Bao Datong, only know a bit more because I have many friends."

Fang Datong laughed and waved his hand.

"Sigh..."

Someone nearby sighed: "We live humdrum lives, muddled until death, unable to obtain even a trace of immortal fate."

"On the contrary, some are born with immortal fate rushing to them, isn’t this world unfair..."

Someone resonated with this and looked downcast.

"Brother, that’s wrong."

Bao Datong disagreed, saying:

"In this world, there’s always a mountain higher than the last. You envy Ye Yunlang, but those beggars who can’t even afford a meal, the disabled and crippled, how could they not envy us able-bodied, carefree people?"

"So, brother, in the end, your current things don’t satisfy your desires, that’s why you’re troubling yourself. If you were him, once you meet people on a higher level, you might also feel it’s unfair."

He shook his head, saying:

"Besides, though Ye Yunlang is fortunate, he’s at most just fortunate. He surely has limitless potential, but who can tell what the future holds."

"I say he’s nothing, the truly remarkable ones are those with top talents who have already grown!"

"Like Li Changsheng, the heir of Qinzhou’s thousand-year noble family, rumored to have caused an anomaly at birth, a crimson sun rising across the sky, purple aura stretching three thousand feet. The anomaly startled the Supreme Elder of Medicine King Mountain, who claimed Li Changsheng had a rare Pure Yang Dao Body and accepted him as a disciple. Now, just over twenty years later, Li Changsheng has forged a Golden Core, reaching from extraordinary to saintly!"

Seeing the surrounding people dumbstruck, Bao Datong laughed and said: "Such individuals, wouldn’t they make you feel even more unfair?"

"Besides Li Changsheng, recently, in the Southern Border Cultivation Realm, many young talents have emerged, like Shen Yuming with the True Dragon Bloodline... Ji Canghai from Primordial Nether Sect with the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart... Wang Zhu, disciple of the White Ape Sword Immortal... Su Qiuyue from Taixu Temple, with a Glazed Pure Body..."

"Every one of these people have superior talents, and they have already grown into outstanding geniuses!".

Those who were complaining and sighing earlier were left speechless.

When the gap is too large, they can’t even muster jealousy.

"This fat man must have some secrets," someone observed.

Gu Yuan realized that the fat man in question, Bao Datong, was indeed quite extraordinary.

Even though he was just an Innate Martial Master like Gu Yuan, or perhaps hadn’t even achieved Great Success in Marrow Cleansing, he possessed an astonishing amount of information.

Some of it Gu Yuan had never heard of, and even old Chen didn’t mention it to him.

Yet it’s no surprise, given the countless Spiritual Bodies and Dao Bodies in existence.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuan himself contemplated the transformative potential he would possess once Ao Da upgraded or the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly was tamed.

Perhaps his physique would become a new type that had never appeared before.
