“Cough, cough… cough, cough, cough!”
Liu Xinjun coughed violently several times, the blood he spat out mixed with bits of internal organs.
He looked at Gu Yuan, whose expression was calm and slightly smiling, then at the other fellow disciples who were stunned and incredulous, and gave a bitter smile:
“This time, I lost. I, Liu Xinjun, am convinced!”
He had used all means, both fair and foul, but still suffered a crushing defeat at Gu Yuan's hands, and he couldn't refuse to accept it.
Although unwilling, he couldn't go back on his word in front of so many people.
As for whether Gu Yuan's attack was too heavy… Liu Xinjun didn't even consider that.
Because he himself hadn't held back just now.
If Gu Yuan hadn't been so skilled, he would probably be dead already.
The reason he was still alive was because Gu Yuan had shown mercy.
“No wonder Uncle Crane Plume insisted on taking this Junior Brother Gu as his disciple…”
Sha Luosheng's heart was filled with shockwaves.
He now realized why Real Person Crane Plume would accept Gu Yuan as a disciple, and why Gu Yuan had the courage to accept Liu Xinjun's challenge.
Just Gu Yuan's swordsmanship alone was already superb, and counting the entire Medicine King Mountain, there were few among the younger generation of disciples who could match him.
Considering his age, as well as the factors of the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, the Medicine King Mountain couldn't find such a person among his peers.
With such confidence, how could Gu Yuan be afraid to compete with Liu Xinjun?
Li Changqing clenched his fist, feeling somewhat frustrated and unwilling.
He considered himself a rare genius in the world, but no matter how confident he was, after seeing Gu Yuan's performance of overcoming the strong with the weak, he didn't think he could do it.
The onlookers had mixed feelings, but Gu Yuan sighed inwardly.
Inner disciples were already so powerful, so what kind of methods would Murong Wushuang and Chu He, these direct disciples, have?
And what kind of terrifying methods would people like Li Changsheng, who had a first-grade golden elixir, possess?!
He could be considered to have quite a few tricks up his sleeve, but in reality, there were countless powerful people in this world, and he was far from enough…
…
“I lost this bet, and I'll keep my word. Junior Brother, please keep this Pill Spirit…”
Liu Xinjun struggled to get up, circulated his true energy to barely stabilize his injuries, then took out the jade bottle from before and threw it to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan probed with his divine sense, confirmed that it was correct, and cupped his fist: “Thank you, Senior Brother.”
After speaking, he ignored the other party's complex expression and came to Real Person Crane Plume: “Master!”
“Well done.”
Real Person Crane Plume nodded with a smile.
“Master, who was that person just now…?”
Gu Yuan mentioned the white-robed man from before.
The white-robed man had a handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing, which instinctively made him feel strange.
This person seemed to have no cultivation at all, but gave him a sense of unfathomable depth.
“He is your eldest brother, Li Changsheng.”
Real Person Crane Plume replied.
Li Changsheng?
The number one direct disciple of Medicine King Mountain who formed a first-grade golden elixir, known as the Seed of the Primordial Spirit?!
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
He was very familiar with this name, having heard it so many times that his ears had grown calluses.
This person was the leader of the aristocratic faction on the surface, and with his strength alone, he made all the younger generation disciples of the sect unable to breathe.
Unexpectedly, his fight just now had even alarmed this person.
“You don't have to think too much.”
Real Person Crane Plume transmitted his voice, his tone calm: “Although he is a great enemy of our sect, with his pride, he will never engage in any conspiracies or tricks.”
“With your talent and comprehension, you should cultivate well. In the future, you may not have the opportunity to form a first-grade golden elixir.”
“Master is right.”
Gu Yuan nodded, but he felt a little speechless in his heart.
Real Person Crane Plume was a pure sword cultivator, always highly regarded himself, and acted decisively.
Even when encountering a Golden Core great cultivator like Real Person Precious Toad, he could draw his sword and slash.
But now, when facing Li Changsheng, he actually said these words, obviously, Real Person Crane Plume was also quite afraid of Li Changsheng.
The two were both Saint-Entering Golden Cores, but Li Changsheng was a Pure Yang Dao Body, and he formed a first-grade golden elixir, with a great future, and was regarded by the Medicine King Mountain as a future Primordial Spirit True Immortal.
As for Real Person Crane Plume, according to what Gu Yuan knew, he possessed the Spiritual Body Sword Bone talent and formed a top-grade golden elixir, but was inferior to Li Changsheng, being a second-grade golden elixir.
This was certainly a promising future, and he also had the possibility of advancing to the Primordial Spirit, but usually, the final result was the merit of the Pure Yang Dragon Gate.

In this way, it was no wonder that Real Person Crane Plume would have such a reaction…
…
A bet quickly came to an end.
From that day on, Gu Yuan's name spread rapidly on the Suspended Dragon Boat.
Before, many people had also heard of the name Gu Yuan, but before, the impression of Gu Yuan was at most a lucky person with good luck and talent.
As for now, with the performance of the previous bet, almost no one dared to mention the name Gu Yuan.
At least no one dared to call him by his name in front of Gu Yuan.
As for Gu Yuan, he was now in the practice room, in seclusion to comprehend the 《Chaotic Sky Demon Slaying Sword Scripture》.
From the previous fight with Liu Xinjun, he had benefited a lot and had a deeper understanding of the 《Life-奪ing Sword Art》.
Even the 《Chaotic Sky Demon Slaying Sword Scripture》 had also comprehended some essence, and he was taking advantage of the heat to completely digest these comprehensions and turn them into his own foundation.
After many days of seclusion, Gu Yuan opened his eyes, and a faint cold light flashed in his eyes, like two sharp sword lights.
The 《Chaotic Sky Demon Slaying Sword Scripture》 was indeed worthy of being the inheritance of the ancient sword immortal, one of the secret transmissions of the Xuantian Sword Sect.
The sword principles were subtle and profound, and the intention was very high. When refined to a high level, it could even slay Yin Gods and Yang Gods, and it was not inferior to the 《Jade Scenery Mysterious Pivot Sword Art》 that he had practiced before, and even stronger in terms of lethality.
The former pursued extreme lethality, and was somewhat extreme, domineering, ruthless, and fierce.
The latter's path was upright, peaceful, and dignified.
According to Real Person Crane Plume, single-cultivating the 《Chaotic Sky Demon Slaying Sword Scripture》 could easily lead the sword astray and go down the wrong path.
Having the 《Jade Scenery Mysterious Pivot Sword Art》 could correct Gu Yuan's sword path and prevent him from going astray.
The combination of the two made Gu Yuan's sword foundation more solid.
Gu Yuan turned his palm and took out a jade bottle.
Opening the bottle stopper, a rich and complex medicinal fragrance emanated.
Smelling this medicinal fragrance, Gu Yuan only felt refreshed, and the circulation of the Taiyuan True Energy in his body accelerated a bit.
A pure spiritual light of seven colors flew out from it, turning into a seven-colored sparrow, flapping its wings and trying to fly away, but Gu Yuan grabbed it in his hand.
This thing was naturally the Pill Spirit that he had won from Liu Xinjun's bet before.
It was a special creature born with a trace of creation energy, absorbing countless medicinal properties and medicinal qi, and had the ability to sort out medicinal properties and stabilize the furnace fire.
