Gu Yuan remained silent, but in his heart, he couldn't help but marvel at how the Chi Long Daoist had come up with such a scheme.

However, recalling the information revealed by the Peach Blossom Fairy, Qin Hongxiao, about Chi Long Daoist, it was evident that he cared a lot about his reputation and was quite petty.

It wasn't surprising that Chi Long Daoist could pull off something like this.

Clearly, this Chi Long Daoist had intentionally set a trap, and if you obediently followed his arrangement to enter the Immortal Palace to explore fortuitous opportunities, that would be fine. But if you caused trouble, you'd end up severely injured if not dead.

Gu Yuan looked at the young man in purple robes before him, shifted the topic, and said:

"I observe that Fellow Daoist is distinguished and extraordinary, not a being destined for the ordinary. Why not venture into the Red Dragon Immortal Palace?"

One must admit, there are so many young talents in this world.

The young man in purple robes before him surely must be one of them.

Gu Yuan had seen many young cultivation prodigies.

For instance, Li Changsheng, Chu He, Murong Wushuang, Lv Kun, Duan Chen, and the like.

These individuals, despite their youth, have achieved amazing feats, standing out as exemplary figures among the young generation, all true disciples of major cultivation sects.

However, the young man in purple robes before him was certainly not inferior to those people.

In fact, in Gu Yuan's perception, this young man in purple robes could very well be of the same caliber as Li Changsheng.

What kind of person is Li Changsheng?

The first True Inheritor of Medicine King Mountain, an unparalleled genius with a Pure Yang Dao Body, a First Grade Pill Primordial Spirit Seed, whose future is boundless, with the potential for longevity!

Yet, the young man in purple robes gave Gu Yuan the impression that he was not necessarily inferior to Li Changsheng, though this was just Gu Yuan's feeling, and he trusted his intuition deeply.

The young man in purple robes waved his hand, a smile on his face, "Fellow Daoist overestimates me. The opportunity to enter Red Dragon Immortal Palace is incredibly precious, not something that can be seized just by wanting it."

"Might I inquire your name, Fellow Daoist?" Gu Yuan of course didn't believe the other's humble words, he cupped his hands and asked.

The young man in purple robes withdrew his gaze, turned around, and smiled brightly: "Fellow Daoist is polite, I am Ji Canghai!"

Ji Canghai?

Ji Canghai, the demonic scion of the Primordial Nether Sect with the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart?!

Gu Yuan's pupils contracted, clearly somewhat shocked, and he couldn't help but examine closely: "You are truly Ji Canghai?"

Gu Yuan was not unfamiliar with the name Ji Canghai.

He first heard this name half a year ago from Bao Datong.

This person spoke of Shen Yuming with the True Dragon Bloodline, Wang Zhu the disciple of the White Ape Sword Immortal, Su Qiuyue with the Glazed Pure Body, and Ji Canghai, the demonic scion of the Primordial Nether Sect with the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, all being outstanding figures comparable to Li Changsheng.

They were also regarded as the outstanding figures of the young generation in the Southern Border Cultivation Realm!

What was even more surprising was that the person before him unabashedly revealed his identity, which was remarkably straightforward.

Additionally, according to what Gu Yuan knew, the Primordial Nether Sect was currently scheming to compete with Medicine King Mountain, Gu God Sect, and Star River Sword Sect for control over the regions of Qin, Liu, and Feng.

Yet, Ji Canghai appeared openly in Jade Bright Immortal Pavilion with no attempt at disguise, which greatly surprised Gu Yuan.

But despite his surprise, due to the person's identity, Gu Yuan's heart was still filled with a sense of vigilance and wariness.

After all, he was a disciple of Medicine King Mountain at this moment.

Ji Canghai possessed the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, a talent that was in no way inferior to the Pure Yang Dao Body or Five Thunders Body, and perhaps in terms of perception and other aspects, even more outstanding.

Gu Yuan was wearing a black robe at this time, having changed his appearance without showing any change in his expression; yet just a momentary thought revealed an anomaly to Ji Canghai, who then smiled:

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to have heard of my name, but it seems to me that you must know a lot."

Gu Yuan's heart tensed.

Demonic divine techniques are always mysterious and unpredictable, such as the previous Wuxiang Yin Demon, which in essence was just an intangible thought capable of lurking within the divine soul and capturing the thoughts of others.

The Ji Canghai before him, with the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, possibly possessed some special divine technique similar to Buddhist Telepathy or Daoist Mind Reading Technique for sensing people's hearts.

Of course, these divine techniques are not without solutions. As long as the cultivator has a determined will, a steadfast Dao Heart, guards their mind, or possesses extraordinary talent, and even cultivates corresponding divine techniques, they can naturally fend off such divine techniques.

But how many people can truly have a Dao Heart as steadfast as iron and be exceptionally talented?

Luckily, Gu Yuan himself also possessed the Sword Heart Talent, which, though perhaps not as refined as the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, was not too much lacking.

With just a thought, he firmly guarded his mind.

"Who hasn't heard of Brother Ji's great name?"

Gu Yuan smiled and said:

"I'm just very surprised that, being a member of the Primordial Nether Sect, Brother Ji is a thorn in the side for many. Yet now, Brother Ji dares to appear openly on the streets of this Jade Bright Immortal Pavilion, whether it's out of carefreeness or with some other intention."

He ended his words with a deeper meaning.

Ji Canghai raised an eyebrow, looking at Gu Yuan with a sense of surprise and exploration, then chuckled, "That's a good question... But, Fellow Daoist seems to have forgotten, this is Jade Bright Immortal Pavilion."

"Indeed, that's my oversight."

Gu Yuan nodded.

Although Medicine King Mountain, Gu God Sect, and Star River Sword Sect are the "shareholders" of Qiongming Market, this Immortal Pavilion also has its own rules on the surface.

Even if Ji Canghai is a true disciple of the Primordial Nether Sect, he cannot disrupt the rules because of himself.

Breaking the rules would affect everyone's interests.

At this moment, Gu Yuan was dressed in a black robe, his appearance unremarkably plain, and even though Ji Canghai scrutinized him a few times, he suddenly laughed and said, "You say I am not an ordinary being. To me, you also seem like a dragon among men..."

Although Gu Yuan hid his identity well, Ji Canghai still discerned a few things.

"Brother Ji praises too much."

Gu Yuan replied casually, not intending to continue the conversation, ready to leave.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist is that Junior Brother Gu from Medicine King Mountain?"

Ji Canghai noticed this, and suddenly spoke. However, this was not voiced but transmitted through divine thought.

Gu Yuan's steps halted, his expression unchanged, but his gaze deepened:

"What Junior Brother Gu? Brother Ji, you must be mistaken."

Internally, however, he was quite shocked. He considered that even ordinary Golden Core Great Cultivators couldn't see through his disguise, yet Ji Canghai had recognized him, indicating that this person was more formidable than he had imagined.

"Hehe, perhaps."

Ji Canghai chuckled, not insisting, and continued:

"Fellow Daoist, might I borrow a moment to speak?"

Gu Yuan said coolly: "I have no acquaintance with Brother Ji, and our identities differ, so perhaps there is nothing to discuss?"

As a disciple of Medicine King Mountain, he did not wish to be associated with the other.

Especially since the three sects could soon be in conflict with the Primordial Nether Sect.
