However, Gu Yuan could notice that the big mouth had obviously grown a size bigger compared to ten days ago, and those dark golden scales had become even thicker, full of metallic luster.

Even its growth stage had reached 71%, a truly astonishing speed, considering that its growth stage was only 59% just ten days ago.

But this is normal, as the big mouth is a Devouring Serpent, especially with its innate talent "Soul Devourer," capable of directly devouring various Spiritual Objects, digesting them to enhance itself.

In other words, it possesses a formidable devouring ability.

The Inner Core of a Golden Core Demon is not easy to digest, but for the big mouth, it's not a problem at all.

It is believed that after a while, the big mouth will be able to become a mature Devouring Serpent.

A few days later, Gu Yuan went to the appointment alone.

...

Yingxian Tower is one of the most famous taverns in the Jade Bright Immortal Pavilion.

This Immortal Pavilion, despite being called a "tower," is actually a vast complex, covering thousands of acres, with ornate and luxurious decorations.

Inside, various pavilions and towers are cleverly arranged, distributed in an orderly manner.

Because its guests are cultivators.

Therefore, the exquisite wines and delicacies inside Yingxian Tower are all made from Spirit Grain, Spirit Fruit brewing, and medicinal dishes cooked with Demon Beast Meat.

Not only is the taste superb, but it also benefits cultivators greatly.

As Gu Yuan stepped through the door, a young servant greeted him respectfully, saying, "I greet the guest. May I ask if you are here to host guests or..."

"I was invited by someone."

Before the young servant finished speaking, Gu Yuan took out the jade invitation he had received earlier.

"Ah, a guest of Cyan Lotus Garden... Young Master Shen had given prior instructions."

The servant suddenly realized and added, "Please follow me, dear guest."

With that, he led the way.

After passing through a stone gate, Gu Yuan found himself in an open view!

Looking far ahead, he saw gardens, lakes, hills, and more enchanting scenery.

As Gu Yuan walked along the path, he indeed gained much insight.

In these pavilions and towers, mist lingered, resembling a fairyland, with exotic flowers and grasses adorned, and even jade rabbits, spiritual turtles, immortal cranes, white deer, and other auspicious creatures roam unafraid, leisurely playing by the pool and beneath the hills.

"Such abundant spiritual qi..."

He felt as if he had entered a fairyland, where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was several times richer.

Taking a deep breath, he felt a surge of abundant and pure spiritual qi flow into his body, easily refined and absorbed with the circulation of Primordial True Qi.

One can only imagine how pure this spiritual qi is!

Long-term cultivation in this place would certainly lead to rapid progress in cultivation.

Turning left and right, passing through several corridors, Gu Yuan arrived at a garden.

At a glance, he saw a vast expanse of lotuses growing in the lake ahead.

The wide blue-green lotus leaves grew extravagantly on the water surface, with each lotus blossom as large as a washbasin, displaying pink and jade-white colors, wrapped in strands of lingering spiritual qi that lingered without dissipating.

"Such grandeur..."

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that these lotus flowers were undeniably Spirit Medicine.

Moreover, their grade was not low, all are seventh or eighth-grade Spirit Medicine.

To use so many Spirit Medicine for decorative purposes only indicates that Yingxian Tower is indeed extraordinarily wealthy.

Splashing! Splashing!

Under the lake, several greedy red-scaled carp were pecking at the lotus flowers, occasionally stirring up splashes of water.

Not far away, groups of red-scaled carp swam leisurely, appearing serene and content.

What amazed Gu Yuan even more was that in front of these red-scaled carp, there were often more substantial fish kings swimming!

Ordinary red-scaled carp are only two to three feet long, with fins tinged with gold, and their scales are fiery red, like flames burning underwater, colorful and splendid.

However, these few fish kings were slender, and each one was three or four zhang in length, their scales blood-red with a faint golden sheen, looking magnificent.

On the forehead of the fish king, there were two prominent, bony horns, making it appear formidable.

One fish king, in particular, was six zhang long, its scales entirely golden, with only a slight red glow.

Not only were its forehead horns more pronounced, but it also had a pair of dragon claws on its fore-chest ribs, looking quite majestic!

Wherever it went, all other carp, including those fish kings, quickly evaded.

It was more apt to call it a Spiritual Flood Dragon in transformation than a carp!

In Gu Yuan's view, these fish were evidently not ordinary species.

Red-scaled carp were at least at the elite (blue) grade, while those fish kings undoubtedly reached the excellent (red) grade.

That nearly transformed Flood Dragon carp king undoubtedly had several centuries of Dao practice, not much inferior to the previous black eagle.

Gu Yuan thought that although it might not be a rare (golden) grade yet, it was likely one step away from reaching that grade.

If it eventually transformed into a Flood Dragon type, it could be considered a golden grade.

Seeing a leopard through a tube.

Just judging from these lotuses and red-scaled carp, it was evident that calling Yingxian Tower wealthy was inaccurate; it should be described as having profound heritage.

In the distant pavilions of other courtyards, the lights were bright, with faint music of strings and bamboo instruments, interspersed with women's exclamations and laughter, men's hearty laughter, and the crisp sound of toasting and exchanging cups.

Gu Yuan looked towards the center of the lake in Cyan Lotus Garden.

There, a water pavilion stood, with numerous silhouettes moving inside, and sounds of bustling activity emanating from within.

"Young Master Gu, this is it."

The servant beside him said respectfully.

"Hmm, thank you."

Gu Yuan flicked his finger, and a Nourishing Essence Pill fell into the servant's hand.

The Nourishing Essence Pill, as its name suggests, strengthens the foundation and nourishes the essence, solidifies the physique, and greatly benefits cultivators.

For a Martial Master who has not yet advanced to the Celestial Human Realm, a Nourishing Essence Pill is equivalent to several months of rigorous cultivation.

The servant looked at the Nourishing Essence Pill in his hand and couldn't help but be overjoyed, hurriedly thanking, "Thank you, Young Master Gu, thank you! Should you need anything later, just instruct me."

After saying this, he respectfully withdrew.

Once the servant left, Gu Yuan walked briskly along the corridor towards the pavilion at the center of the lake.

Creak—

The wooden door opened, and a tall figure emerged, seeing Gu Yuan, he smiled gently and cupped his hands in greeting, "I am Shen Yuming. Are you Fellow Daoist Gu?"

This person wore a robe of jade-white, his figure tall and imposing, with exquisite features, skin as fair as jade, yet without any hint of effeminacy, instead exuding a masculine aura.

His eyes were bright and full of vibrant charm, almost as if they could speak.
