“But for this body refining technique, we can only find substitutes.”

“My experiments have allowed its practice only up to the third level. For the path ahead, you’ll need to pave the way!”

“If you can truly reach the intended level, perhaps you could be invulnerable to all divine weapons, and with your mortal body, transcend the strength of all things in the world!”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “Senior, rest assured, this technique suits me well. I will not let it die out under my watch.”

Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, a smile appeared on Kong Nian’s face.

Standing aside, He Mingyuan was filled with mixed feelings watching this unfold.

He had passed down his life’s work to him, what’s next? Accepting him as a disciple, I presume!

However, the subsequent developments did not quite go as he’d anticipated.

After a chat with Jiang Yuan, Kong Nian asked him to go back and focus on his cultivation. Without sufficient realm, one cannot reach the profound levels of this technique.

Cultivation realm is the foundation of everything.

Before leaving, Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, then said to Kong Nian, “Senior, there’s something I need to tell you, whether you believe me or not!”

Kong Nian saw the serious expression on Jiang Yuan’s face and waved his hand.

In an instant, they were isolated from the outside world. Kong Nian said, “Speak, now only the two of us can hear what you are about to say.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “Three years from now, the Qianyuan Kingdom will have an overwhelming advantage and will use the strength of the entire nation to launch an attack, trampling over the Horse Trampling Sect. Our defeat is inevitable!”

Kong Nian sighed softly, “We’ve been prepared for this outcome, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon. We’ve only got three years left!”

“Why not retreat in advance then?” asked Jiang Yuan.

Kong Nian merely shook his head, “It’s not that simple!”

Then he waved his hand again, “Go back! Cultivate well. As you said, you’ve only got three years of peace left!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he dissolved the isolation around them.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan didn’t say anything more and rose to leave.

On the way back.

Shu Xiaoxiao said, “Young Master, I feel that He Mingyuan is hostile towards you!”

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, “Naturally, he is Senior Kong Nian’s direct disciple. Seeing that the senior bestowed all his life’s work upon me, he must feel a bit uncomfortable. The extreme ones may even try to destroy their own lineage.”

“Why do you think I didn’t get to see him when I came to Heaven Lead Peak the last time—yet he showed up promptly this time?”

“This isn’t a coincidence!”

“Huh?” Shu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Young Master, should we alert Senior Kong Nian then?”

Jiang Yuan shook his head with a smile, “Don’t underestimate Senior Kong Nian, haven’t you heard a certain saying?”

“Old people are crafty! Senior Kong Nian has lived for hundreds of years, he has a clear and discerning mind!”

“He sees everything in front of him. Trying to act clever in front of him would be embarrassing!”

Meanwhile.

Kong Nian, who was on the mountain peak, heard the conversation between Jiang Yuan and the others below, nodded gently, glanced at He Mingyuan, and sighed softly!

He Mingyuan was shocked, “Master? What’s wrong?”

Kong Nian shook his head, “It’s nothing, just a bit disappointed.”

After hearing this, He Mingyuan was confused, but seeing Kong Nian’s expression, he didn’t dare to ask anymore.

After returning to Heavenly Pillar Peak, Jiang Yuan visited Gu Mo’s Mansion again.

Last time, with Deacon Wang’s arrangement, Gu Mo successfully joined the inner sect too.

He officially became an inner sect disciple of the Supreme Mystery Sect.

Now his residence is not far from Jiang Yuan’s.

About one or two kilometers away.

“Greetings, Young master!”

As Gu Mo opened the door of the Mansion, he saw Jiang Yuan standing before him.

“So, how is it? Are you settling in alright?”

Gu Mo nodded, “It’s great. Living alone is more comfortable.”

Shu Xiaoxiao said, “What you’re saying is that we disturbed you before?”

“This…” He paused for a bit before shaking his head, “Absolutely not!”

Jiang Yuan chuckled, “Xiaoxiao, stop teasing Gu Mo! Don’t you know him? He hardly speaks!”

Gu Mo also managed a smile, “Young Master understands me the best!”

He looked at Jiang Yuan, gratitude filling his eyes.

If not for Jiang Yuan, how could he have made it this far and set foot on the path of cultivation.

Let alone becoming a inner sect disciple of the Supreme Mystery Sect, accomplishing a mortal’s feat of ascension.

If not for Jiang Yuan, he might have become a frozen corpse in the snow, incapable of avenging his parents’ deaths.

Jiang Yuan observed the quiet and desolate surroundings of the courtyard.

Then said, “Gu Mo, you should get a few maids. This place is too deserted!”

“Besides, it’ll waste your cultivation time if you have to do everything on your own!”

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, “Yes! Young Master has me to look after him! But you don’t!”

Gu Mo looked at both of them, relaxed and said, “Actually, I’m accustomed to being alone, having multiple people around would make me feel restrained.”

“Sigh!” Jiang Yuan shook his head and sighed, not persuading him any further.

In a flash of light, twenty mid-grade spiritual stones floated in the air.

“Take these for your cultivation!”

Upon seeing this, Gu Mo was taken aback and then shook his head repeatedly, “Young master, take them back! How could I possibly drain you any further?”

Jiang Yuan lightly said, “Gu Mo, are you still my bodyguard?”

“Of course!”

“Well then, have you ever heard of a bodyguard that doesn’t receive a salary?”

“This…” Gu Mo was taken aback.

Jiang Yuan added, “Not to mention, you’re only at the second level of meridian-breaking stage now, how can you protect me!”

“These spiritual stones, they’re your protection money!”

“Think about it, I am bound to encounter many formidable enemies on my cultivation journey, if you were to protect me, you’d inevitably face danger all around!”

Jiang Yuan looked at him, “Accept it! I don’t lack these resources!”

Gu Mo took ten pieces of the mid-grade spiritual stones, then said, “Young master, as you said, these ten will be my protection money then! Take back the rest!”

“The favor I’ve received from young master is already too much, I cannot accept any more.”

Jiang Yuan didn’t push him anymore, shook his head slightly, “Alright then! Cultivate well!”

“Understood!”

After leaving Gu Mo’s mansion, Jiang Yuan glanced at his storage ring.

He then calculated his current assets. After converting the spiritual stones, he had only over 11,000 low-grade spiritual stones left.

Regarding the other items, they were all very valuable resources.

Like the small movement charm, an item like this that could save one’s life. If sold at auction, its price would be astronomical.

The starting price would be calculated with high-grade spiritual stones.

Then there’s the mysterious little bone gifted by Lu Qingshan, its mysteries boundless. He had only comprehended a bit, yet his speed had increased by 50%.

If he were to completely understand its mysteries, its price would be truly incalculable.

He was about to head back home, but then he decided to head to Liu Jie’s mansion.

Since entering the inner sect, he hadn’t paid him a visit yet.
