Chapter 75: This Is Actually a Spirit Body? Xu Gu

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Daoxuan called to the surrounding clan members to go fetch Jiang Yan and Jiang Chen.

Watching this scene, Xu Gu's heart instantly eased.

If this Jiang Jianzong refused, it might be troublesome—but merely tricking two teenagers? That would be child's play.

Not long after.

Jiang Chen and Jiang Yan arrived together, entering the assembly hall.

Sensing the disturbance, Xu Gu slowly lifted his head and looked forward.

His gaze settled on Jiang Chen and Jiang Yan, and he unleashed his Purple Mansion spiritual sense to probe them.

Feeling Jiang Chen's exceptional physique, refined by the Bone-Washing Pill and Immortal Fire, Xu Gu's eyes lit up instantly—he was overjoyed!

He never imagined he'd encounter such a great surprise in this tiny Jiang family!

How could this fellow's talent be as simple as the rumors claimed? Such a formidable physique far surpassed every true disciple in the sect!

This prodigy of heavenly talent must not slip through my fingers—I must bring him into the sect!

Xu Gu's eyes grew even brighter, his gaze toward Jiang Chen now as if viewing a priceless treasure.

Yet, what delighted him was far from over!

When his Purple Mansion spiritual sense landed on Jiang Yan.

Xu Gu's pupils shrank, and he was instantly struck with horror!

"This unique aura—could it be...? This boy is a Spirit Body?!"

As an official of Qingshan Sect, he had naturally heard of the many wonders of Spirit Bodies.

And this boy's condition matched exactly what he knew!

"Hahaha! Today is truly my lucky day! I've stumbled upon a boy with a Spirit Body!"

Xu Gu trembled with excitement, marveling that his visit to the Jiang family had been utterly worthwhile.

Those who possess a Spirit Body don't merely cultivate faster than ordinary people—they also find breakthroughs far easier!

Typically, with steady cultivation, they'll easily break through to Star Wheel Realm, and with a bit more effort, even Moon Wheel Realm is within reach!

Thus, whenever a Spirit Body emerges, every major sect scrambles to claim them!

That's why Xu Gu felt even more exhilarated, already imagining the rewards the sect would grant him upon recruiting this boy.

At that moment, feeling Xu Gu's scorching gaze, Jiang Yan and Jiang Chen shrank back, chilled to the bone.

They had learned of this man's identity and purpose from clan members, but couldn't fathom why he was staring at them with such a strange look.

Jiang Yan silently lowered his head and softly called inwardly: "Master, what do you make of this man?"

Zhou Lao, hidden within the ring, glanced at Xu Gu casually, then immediately looked away and shook his head dismissively: "Just a Purple Mansion Ninth Layer cultivator with shallow roots."

"Moreover, from what I see, this man not only has shallow roots—he also carries a hidden injury. It's invisible, and with his meager cultivation, he can't detect it himself. This injury causes no trouble daily, but when he attempts to break through to Ocean Realm, it will erupt, shattering his breakthrough and sealing his fate—no immortal could save him!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan nearly burst out laughing—if not for the presence of the Clan Lord, he would have.

After all, according to his master, this man was nothing but a walking corpse with a short lifespan.

At this point, after calming his emotions, Xu Gu prepared to address the two.

But fearing Jiang Daoxuan might suddenly change his mind, he quickly turned to glance beside him.

Seeing that the Jiang clan chief paid no attention to the matter, merely sipping his hot tea, he finally relaxed slightly.

Then Xu Gu turned to the two: "I am Xu Gu, an Elder and official of Qingshan Sect. I've come to select disciples for our sect."

"Given Qingshan Sect's reputation, I'm not boasting—I'm certain your Jiang family knows the power we wield. If you two join Qingshan Sect, your family will gain our protection. Once you become true disciples or catch an Elder's favor, you'll receive priceless Earth-grade cultivation arts..."

"After my recent probe, your talents guarantee that, upon joining our sect, you'll earn the attention of Elders—or even the Sect Lord—and become true disciples!"

"Do you wish to join Qingshan Sect?"

Xu Gu smiled, his eyes brimming with anticipation as he gazed at the two before him, already envisioning the commotion he'd cause by bringing these two prodigies back to the sect.

Yet, this pleasant fantasy lasted barely a moment before being brutally shattered!

Jiang Yan and Jiang Chen's faces showed no interest whatsoever, and they replied casually: "No." "I won't leave my family."

At those words, Xu Gu's joyful expression froze instantly.

But remembering his sect's mission, he quickly adjusted his emotions and forced a stiff smile: "You're still young—you don't understand these things. Just listen to me..."

Before he could finish, Jiang Chen and Jiang Yan interrupted: "We don't want to go—no need to waste your breath." "Chen-ge is right."

With the Clan Lord possessing so many miraculous abilities, and their own fortunes, why would they seek out sects full of scheming and intrigue just to suffer?

Seeing his second refusal, Xu Gu's composure began to crack: "You've grown up within your family, unaware of how dangerous the outside world is. You think your family is your strongest shield—but to most sects, your so-called shield is paper-thin. When your family faces disaster, where will you turn? Will you die at enemy hands, or be sold as slaves?"

"Let me, as someone who's been there, tell you this: for geniuses born in small families like yours, joining Qingshan Sect is your best choice. Only then can you protect your Jiang family from countless calamities and gain abundant resources to rapidly transform your talent into strength!"

"Considering these two points, staying in your family isn't beneficial—it's a disaster. It invites calamities that could've been avoided. So, for the sake of your family's safety and future, come with me. I'll take you to the sect, where you'll gain things you never dared dream of..."

As Xu Gu spoke, Jiang Yan and Jiang Chen's expressions remained utterly unchanged.

Had the Clan Lord not been present, they would have already turned and left, unwilling to waste another moment here.

Zhou Lao, meanwhile, watched Xu Gu's foolish performance with the look of someone gazing at an idiot.
