Chapter 93: Wa Clan Ancient Jade, Gu Shengge Gets Angry...

Early the next morning, threads of sunlight filtered through the bamboo forest and into the small bamboo house, shining with a golden glow, as if draped in a layer of golden gauze.

“Hoo…”

A bit of turbid Qi was exhaled from Gu Shengge's mouth. He slowly opened his eyes, calmed the flow of magical power within his body, and rose from the meditation cushion.

“Alas~ I still have no clue at all.”

Gu Shengge sighed softly. A night of comprehension had yielded no results. The profundity of Concept was indeed not something that could be comprehended through mere sitting and Cultivating.

In fact, if Gu Shengge were willing to settle for less, the Qiankun Taoist Sect also had many Concept notes left by ancestors. Following the insights in those notes, one could still Cultivate a Concept.

However, another person's Concept was, after all, someone else's. If one could not comprehend it oneself, it would always be inferior.

Gu Shengge walked to the window, looked up at the sky, which was a vast expanse of blue. Bamboo leaves floated up into the clear sky, dyeing it with a touch of emerald green.

Whoosh!

Three streaks of sword light suddenly appeared and landed outside the small house. Gu Shengge looked down and saw it was Chu Yue, his Revered Master, and Pei Yuhan. Besides them, there was also a handsome young man.

He wondered if it was an illusion, or if he was too sensitive.

Gu Shengge noticed that the handsome young man seemed to harbor hostility towards him, but he had clearly never met him before.

“Gu, Kid, your Chu Shu is here to see you. How is it? Are you used to living here? This small house was specially built when I learned you were coming to Lingxiao Sword Sect.”

Chu Yue walked into the small house and greeted Gu Shengge with a smile. Gu Shengge cupped his hands slightly and asked gently:

“Chu Shu, Pei Yu Han, and this is?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yue pointed at Lin Tian and introduced him: “This is my young Disciple, Lin Tian. He possesses a natural Sword Body and recently Broke Through to the Nascent Soul stage. He had been Cultivating with the Old Ancestor until yesterday when he came down the mountain.”

Lin Tian listened to his Revered Master's introduction of himself, slightly raised his head, and revealed a hint of arrogance.

At his age, those who had reached the Nascent Soul stage were few and far between in the entire Qingyun Prefecture. How could he not be arrogant?

However, the Zhenyue Sword Master's subsequent words caused Lin Tian's expression to freeze.

“Of course, my young Disciple can be considered a Prodigy in Qingyun Prefecture, but looking at Qiongsang, he can't even rank in the first tier, let alone be compared with you, Gu, Kid.”

“Lin Tian, this is Qiankun Daozi, the number one Prodigy of our Qiongsang. Although you are already a Nascent Soul, there are always people better than you. In front of Gu Daozi, you are still lacking in many aspects and need to work harder!”

Chu Yue turned back and said to Lin Tian, telling him not to be arrogant and complacent just because he had Broke Through to Nascent Soul at a young age.

Lin Tian listened, showing a humble expression, and did not reveal too much dissatisfaction.

He looked at Gu Shengge, scrutinizing him. After a moment, he did not feel a very powerful aura from him, and a hint of disdain arose in his heart.

Heh~ He doesn't look like much, does he? What if he Broke Through to Nascent Soul at eighteen? There's a fundamental difference between one Nascent Soul and another!

To forge an unparalleled Foundation, I, Lin Tian, reached the eleventh level of Qi Refinement, established my Foundation with the Heavenly Sword Spiritual Embryo, condensed a top-grade Golden Core, and achieved Nascent Soul.

Breaking Through to Nascent Soul at eighteen must have been achieved by relying on Medicinal Pills. His Foundation is shallow, so how strong can he be?

Gu Shengge invited Chu Yue, his Revered Master, and his Disciple inside. With a wave of his hand, he produced a tea set and poured each of them a cup of clear tea.

The tea fragrance was pleasant and lingered.

After Chu Yue took a sip of the clear tea, he looked at Gu Shengge again, his eyes gentle, and brought up the matter from yesterday.

“Gu, Kid, yesterday I reported your matter to the Old Ancestor. The Old Ancestor knows that you don't want to challenge Wanjian Mountain and has decided to give you another form of compensation.”

Gu Shengge: “Another form of compensation?”

Zhenyue Sword Master nodded. Pei Yuhan's pretty face flushed faintly, and Lin Tian's eyes also darkened, sitting restlessly.

Immediately after, Chu Yue took out the ancient jade that the Sword Sect Old Ancestor had given him yesterday, instantly attracting Gu Shengge's attention.

Hmm! This ancient jade...

Gu Shengge's eyes narrowed. The ancient jade in Zhenyue Sword Master's hand was identical to the ancient jade he had acquired at the Xuantian Tower.

“Chu Shu, this is?” Gu Shengge tentatively asked, wanting to clarify the origin of the ancient jade.

Chu Yue: “I'm not sure about the origin of this jade either. I only heard the Old Ancestor mention many years ago that this jade is related to the Wa Clan Spiritual Land. Long-term wear of this jade helps in comprehending Divine Abilities and secret techniques.”

“Wa Clan Spiritual Land?”

Gu Shengge keenly caught this keyword. What kind of clan was this Wa Clan?

Pei Yuhan and Lin Tian also heard about the Wa Clan for the first time and became curious.

Chu Yue nodded and continued: “Looking at your expressions, I suppose none of you know about the Wa Clan, right? Coincidentally, I don't know either.”

Uh...

Gu Shengge saw Zhenyue Sword Master being so righteous, a few black lines appeared on his forehead, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Chu Yue: “This Sword Revered Master has lived for over a thousand years and knows that his knowledge is not shallow, but he doesn't know everything. This Wa Clan, let alone me, even the Old Ancestor has only heard of this name and knows very little about it. It is said that they are an ancient God Race, born as Divine Spirits.”

Ancient God Race, born as Divine Spirits!

These two words greatly stimulated Gu Shengge and the others. Gu Shengge looked at the ancient jade, deep in thought.

Related to the Wa Clan Spiritual Land, this ancient jade must be either a key or a pass of some kind.

Although it was unclear how many pieces of this ancient jade existed, since he encountered it, he naturally couldn't miss it.

Gu Shengge reached out and took the Wa Clan Ancient Jade, saying: “This Junior once again thanks Old Ancestor Juechen for bestowing this treasure.”

Lin Tian watched as the Wa Clan Ancient Jade was taken away, a hint of jealousy appearing in his eyes. A treasure related to the ancient God Race, long-term wear of which could also improve Comprehension Ability and help comprehend Divine Abilities and secret techniques.

Why did the Old Ancestor not bestow such a good treasure upon him, the Sect Prodigy, but instead gave it to Qiankun Daozi, an outsider!

Seeing Gu Shengge accept the ancient jade, Zhenyue Sword Master's smile deepened. He then looked at Pei Yuhan.

Feeling his Revered Master's gaze, Pei Yuhan felt a bit nervous in her heart.

Chu Yue: “Gu, Kid, what do you think of my Senior Disciple?”

Hmm? This sudden question made Gu Shengge slightly stunned.

Gu Shengge glanced at Pei Yuhan and praised: “Pei Yu Han is naturally beautiful, with a clear Sword Heart, and is a rare and extraordinary woman in this world. Among the female cultivators I have met, few can compare to her.”

“Gu Daozi, you flatter me.”

Hearing the praise from the number one Prodigy of Qiongsang, even Pei Yuhan couldn't help but blush a little.

Seeing this situation, Zhenyue Sword Master struck while the iron was hot and suggested: “Then, Gu, Kid, how about I let Yu Han be your Sword Attendant?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Shengge instantly realized he had been tricked.

“No, I don't agree! What is he? How can he be worthy of having Senior Sister as his Sword Attendant!”

Lin Tian, hearing that his Revered Master wanted Senior Sister to be Qiankun Daozi's Sword Attendant, immediately became anxious. He couldn't hold back any longer and quickly spoke out in opposition.

This caused Chu Yue's face to instantly darken.

Gu Shengge, who was about to refuse Zhenyue Sword Master, frowned slightly. His heavy pupils looked at Lin Tian, who had jumped out to object, and a slight displeasure appeared on his face.

Although he didn't want to take Pei Yuhan as a Sword Attendant, after all, he was used to being alone and didn't particularly want anyone following him.

But whether to accept or not, only he could decide. No one could interfere with his thoughts!

Gu Shengge looked coldly at Lin Tian, his expression slightly darkened, and his tone implicitly contained a hint of anger as he said to Zhenyue Sword Master:

“Chu Shu, your young Disciple is very arrogant!”
