CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: THE NOBLE DESCENDS THE MOUNTAIN! PRIMORDIAL NETHER SECT!

After pausing for a moment, Old Mo continued, "As long as you cultivate step by step, the innate realm is within reach in the future, and even breaking through the shackles of the Innate Martial Master to reach a higher realm is not impossible!"

Hearing this, Xia Mingyang, Luo Sheng, and the others had varied expressions.

The future innate realm is within reach, and there is even a slight possibility of reaching a higher realm!

If such words were to spread, it would definitely cause a huge sensation in Beiliang County!

An Innate Martial Master is no small figure.

Throughout Beiliang County, on the surface, there are definitely not many Innate Martial Masters and surely not more than five; each is well-known and treated with respect wherever they go.

Even in Shengyang Prefecture, an Innate Martial Master is a top-notch figure and can easily become a distinguished guest of major families.

If Gu Yuan’s talent of Iron Bone and Soft Tendons were to become known, it would certainly cause a lot of unrest in the coming period.

People wanting to form connections, kinship, friendship, and alliances would surely be numerous!

"Iron Bone and Soft Tendons, upper-grade root bone... "

Gu Yuan nodded to show his understanding, his face showing a look of excitement, joy, and a hint of confusion, yet in his heart, he remained calm, secretly pondering:

"These two talents should be the Iron Teeth Talent of the Iron-toothed Rat and the Snake Coiling Talent of the Big-mouthed Snake, which indeed benefits me. But what Xia Mingyang just mentioned about Spiritual Body, Dao Body, Immortal Body, what are those? Could they be more excellent root bone constitutions, similar to the so-called Great Accomplishment Saint Body, Innate Dao Body, Chaos Body?"

"If that’s the case, then the waters of this world run deep indeed!"

"But at this stage, the talent of Iron Bone and Soft Tendons is enough for me. Besides, after the three small ones evolve, my root bone talent can continue to improve... not to mention, when I find a suitable spirit pet later, I can continue to tame it and gain more talents."

"Old Mo..."

Xia Xiuxue couldn’t help but ask, "Gu Yuan... does he really have the potential to reach the Celestial Human Realm?"

Gu Yuan’s potential to reach the innate realm is indeed astonishing, but she was more focused on Old Mo’s last words.

She is Xia Mingyang’s daughter, and her father Xia Mingyang is an Outer Disciple of Medicine King Mountain, so she knows something about the common knowledge of the Cultivation Realm.

Although Innate Martial Masters are formidable, they are still considered nothing in the eyes of some.

However, the Celestial Human Realm after the Innate Martial Master is the key!

The Celestial Human Realm is known as the entry into the Dao Realm, and once one steps into this realm, they begin to transcend, capable of flight and mastering various incredible divine techniques.

Such figures not only possess extraordinary powers but also enjoy a long lifespan of three hundred years, even being considered as those of the Immortal Dao!

Thus, it is the lifelong pursuit of many Martial Masters!

It can be said that although the Innate Martial Masters and the cultivators of the Celestial Human Realm only differ by a thin line, their identities and status are worlds apart!

After all, the former is stronger than ordinary people, but limited in capacity.

Yet the cultivators of the Celestial Human Realm have already mastered incredible divine techniques and can be called Immortal Masters, essentially no longer ordinary folk!

And now, Old Mo said that Gu Yuan had the potential to reach the Celestial Human Realm, which is what shocked her the most!

Even Xia Xiuxue herself is only an average middle-grade root bone, which was achieved because her mother consumed Spirit Pills to strengthen and nourish the essence before her birth, establishing a foundation in the womb.

However, compared to Gu Yuan’s upper-grade root bone of Iron Bone and Soft Tendons, she still falls short.

"Naturally..."

Old Mo seemed to see through his thoughts and comforted, "However, as the saying goes, the Dao gives fifty, but Heaven uses forty-nine. Actually, to say it, everything in the world has a trace of life and even a chance of longevity!"

"Third Young Lady, a good root bone is not necessarily everything, even a lower-grade root bone has a trace of possibility to enter the Dao, you shouldn’t think too much."

Saying this, but Xia Xiuxue naturally knew that these words were mostly comforting.

"Alright, Xue’Er, you take Gu Yuan out first."

At this moment, Xia Mingyang spoke.

Xia Xiuxue gathered her emotions and bowed respectfully, "Yes, Father!"

After the two of them left, Xia Mingyang looked at Luo Sheng, "Brother Luo, what do you think of this child?"

Luo Sheng pondered for a moment, then said, "He is a good seedling, with certain value in nurturing."

"Moreover, we have already investigated this child, except for some conflicts and disputes with the Qian Mansion, he has no other unusual aspects."

"However, although his life is pristine, he is ultimately not one of us, and he has missed the best time for martial arts cultivation, so his future achievements are limited, and the possibility of breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm is even more slight."

"Hmm..."

Xia Mingyang nodded slightly, quite in agreement with these words.

It was quite unexpected for him to discover such a good seedling as Gu Yuan in a small place like Beiliang County.

But Gu Yuan ultimately is not one of us.

By not one of us, it means Gu Yuan was not groomed by the Jade Cauldron Tower from an early age as part of the direct lineage.

As a result, he lacks sufficient loyalty and a sense of recognition for the Jade Cauldron Tower and for him as the Pavilion Master, which ultimately falls short.

For people like Gu Yuan, no influence would devote full resources to cultivate him.

Moreover, while Gu Yuan’s root bone is good, he has just begun cultivation and has already missed the best cultivation period; he should be thankful if he can advance to Innate Martial Master in the future.

In addition, his humble origin ensures he is unlikely to access precious cultivation resources such as cultivation technique Daoist scriptures and spirit elixirs; his future achievements can already be predicted!

After all, cultivation relies not only on root bone talent but also on the accumulation of abundant resources.

Without a mentor to guide the way, without spirit elixirs to assist, without cultivation technique Daoist scriptures to point the path, even the best root bone talent can eventually only fade into the ordinary.

In a few words, both had already determined their stance on Gu Yuan—he can be nurtured but not overly valued.

"There is no need to discuss Gu Yuan’s matters any further. However, speaking of this task, although the plan did not fully succeed, it did not completely fail either! At least Wei Chuan suffered serious injuries this time and won’t be able to cause much trouble in the short term. Besides, I have some contingency plans for this person, though it is ultimately a minor matter."

Xia Mingyang shifted the topic to another matter: "On the contrary, I recently received important news; soon, a prestigious person will descend from the mountain and come to Shengyang Prefecture, and by then, we need to tread carefully."

"A prestigious person?"

Usually reserved, Luo Sheng showed a hint of unsettled curiosity. Naturally, he knew that "the mountain" Xia Mingyang referred to was Medicine King Mountain.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Which prestigious person does Brother Xia refer to? Why are they coming?"

"As for the identity of this prestigious person, I am also not sure."

Xia Mingyang slowly shook his head and continued, "But I suspect this prestigious person is coming for the Yuanming Sect!"

"Yuanming Sect? This sect is arising!"

Old Mo’s expression changed slightly: "Could it be that traces of the Yuanming Sect have appeared in Qinzhou?"
