It can be said that this person, from inside to outside, shows no signs of imperfection or shortcomings, exuding a sense of "flawlessness" entirely.
But when you think about it, it's not surprising at all.
The person before me is as renowned as Li Changsheng and Ji Canghai.
Gu Yuan has met those two, and they are indeed outstanding figures. The impression this person gives him is equally remarkable.
Whether in demeanor or temperament, both are extraordinary.
"I am Gu Yuan. Greetings, Shen brother."
Gu Yuan cupped his hands in return, seemingly a bit surprised: "Shen brother, you're too kind. There's no need to greet me personally."
Li Changsheng, Shen Yuming, Ji Canghai, Wang Zhu, and Su Qiuyue, are all well-known top talents among the young generation in the Southern Border Cultivation Realm.
Within the younger generation, they are a class of their own, even surpassing the True Disciples of Medicine King Mountain, Gu God Sect, and Star River Sword Sect.
Gu Yuan himself has quite a reputation, but considering his strength and cultivation, combined with the limitations of his status, his foundation is not yet stable.
Compared to people like Shen Yuming, he is still far behind.
Frankly speaking, these few are all considered as Primordial Spirit Seed existences. In many people's eyes, even some Yin God Giants might not compare to them.
And right now, this Direct Disciple of the Yang Spirit powerhouse Venerable Poison Dragon has come out to greet him personally.
Undoubtedly, this is giving Gu Yuan a lot of credit.
Although Gu Yuan is not overwhelmed by the courtesy, his impression of this person has grown significantly.
No matter what purpose this person has for inviting him, at least now, their attitude is quite commendable.
Shen Yuming smiled and said:
"I have long admired Fellow Daoist Gu, so coming out to greet you is only right. Why should Daoist be so formal?"
Looking at the clear-eyed, handsome, and composed Shen Yuming, Gu Yuan couldn't help but think of two words:
Suave, Gentle.
"Please, Fellow Daoist Gu."
"After you, Shen brother!"
Gu Yuan exhibited some humility as the two of them entered the pavilion sequentially.
As soon as he stepped in and glanced around at the people inside, Gu Yuan paused and then a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.
Soon after, he continued walking inside without stopping.
He did not know the specific identities of the guests at today's banquet; he only knew a few.
However, upon seeing a few familiar faces, he couldn't help being a bit startled.
One of them was his fellow sect senior apprentice brother, Feng Shaojie.
Upon seeing Gu Yuan, Feng Shaojie widened his eyes, opened his mouth as if to say something, but could not utter a word.
But within his heart, there was an upheaval!
The guests at today's banquet are disciples from sects and influences from Qinzhou and even other states, all outstanding figures among the young generation.
Simply put, this is an everyday gathering activity of the cultivation realm's circles.
Shen Yuming is one of the top figures within this circle.
For many in the cultivation realm, this banquet is something they yearn for but cannot reach, serving as an important opportunity to expand their social connections, meeting many people of noteworthy status.
Many people rack their brains trying to enter this circle, but find no way.
Because in this circle, identity, power, and talent are crucial.
To enter this circle, one must at least be a genius among the younger generation, or an inner or even true disciple of Medicine King Mountain or Gu God Sect.
One must possess either exceptional talent or a high status to gain acceptance from the majority.
Just like Feng Shaojie, who possesses a Spirit Body Talent and apprenticed under Situ Yan, also being a seasoned Inner Sect Disciple of Medicine King Mountain, so naturally, he has the qualifications to enter this circle.
As one of the top figures in this circle, Shen Yuming naturally has the right to extend invitations.
Just now, seeing Shen Yuming personally come out to greet, Feng Shaojie found it a bit strange as to who had such a grand manner to warrant Shen Yuming's personal greeting.
But he never expected that person to be Gu Yuan!
As for the other two individuals, one donned a purple robe, with features so enchanting they appeared almost bewitching, his skin glowing white, especially his eyes shining like gems.
By merely standing there, he gave an impression of majesty akin to a Divine Demon, seemingly shrouded in mists, making it difficult to discern his depths.
This individual is none other than Ji Canghai, the Primordial Nether Sect disciple whom Gu Yuan had once met and agreed to explore the Red Dragon Immortal Palace together!
Upon sighting Gu Yuan, Ji Canghai's expression remained indifferent, meeting Gu Yuan's eyes briefly before casually shifting his gaze, as if the two were strangers.
Gu Yuan's mind stirred and he immediately understood Ji Canghai's intent — he didn't want to reveal their acquaintance.
Since the other party preferred not to acknowledge their acquaintance, Gu Yuan was also happy to pretend not to recognize him.
The two exchanged a glance, moving their gazes simultaneously with a tacit understanding, revealing no odd expressions.
The others didn't seem to notice anything either.
Next, Gu Yuan turned his attention to another person.
This person was tall, lean, and handsome, but had slightly thin lips, with eyes bearing a hint of frivolity and aggression, adding a touch of coldness.
At this moment, this person was looking at Gu Yuan with a somewhat surprised gaze.
This individual was none other than Lv Kun, with whom he had previously had a conflict!
Upon spotting Gu Yuan, Lv Kun first showed surprise, then composed himself, his eyes turning gloomy, exuding a cold murderous intent.
In response, Gu Yuan remained indifferent. Although he had a serious grudge against Lv Kun, and Lv Kun had even sent someone to kill him, there was no need for any immediate reaction.
Not just these few, others turned their gaze towards Gu Yuan as well. Some didn't recognize him, but some did, and their eyes reflected various emotions.
Assessing, indifference, surprise, curiosity, puzzlement, shock…
The gaze of people holds power.
Everyone present was no ordinary person. With so many people turning their gaze upon him, Gu Yuan's demeanor remained calm, like a spring breeze, unfazed.
This left some people speechless.
However, Gu Yuan's mind was pondering something else.
Ji Canghai being a disciple of the Primordial Nether Sect is perhaps unknown to others, but Shen Yuming surely knows.
With so many gathered together, both righteous and evil, Dao and Demon, yet the atmosphere was harmonious and natural, which was quite odd.
In the cultivation realm, the distinction between righteous and demon paths is extremely stringent and serious.
When both sides meet, if not cold, they would at least find each other unbearable.
Especially considering Ji Canghai is a True Disciple of the ancient Demon Dao Primordial Nether Sect but can openly participate in this banquet, which indeed seems inappropriate.
Presently, under the guidance of a pretty maid, Gu Yuan was led to a square table to be seated.
On the square table before him, exquisite and delicious dishes were displayed, along with a pot of Spirit Wine and a plate of vibrant Spirit Fruit.
The maid carefully arranged bowls and chopsticks for him, pouring the wine.
Gu Yuan was attending such a banquet for the first time, but he felt entirely at ease, sitting calmly in his seat.
After everyone took their seats, Shen Yuming sat upright at the head position.
