As for the Flame Dragon Jade Seal, the fact that Li Changsheng went down the mountain specifically to obtain it with such longing clearly indicates it's not something simple.

This item is most likely a top-tier magical treasure, or perhaps a supreme treasure with some wondrous functions!

Now, Lv Kun mentioned the Flame Dragon Jade Seal, which piqued Gu Yuan's curiosity—what unknown purpose does this Flame Dragon Jade Seal serve?

Moreover, Gu Yuan distinctly noticed that when the words "Flame Dragon Jade Seal" were mentioned, many people perked up, their ears attentive.

Even Ji Canghai, who was usually disinterested in anything, paused what he was doing and looked over at Lv Kun with interest.

Gu Yuan felt a flicker in his heart.

This object that interests people like Li Changsheng, Ji Canghai, and Lv Kun—what kind of treasure could it be?

"Flame Dragon Jade Seal?"

Shen Yuming gave Lv Kun a meaningful look and smiled, "I won't hide it from Brother Lv; I've heard of this item too, though I don't know much about it. All I know is that it's a special magical treasure, said to suppress fortune."

"In fact, aside from suppressing fortune, the Flame Dragon Jade Seal itself is said to be a powerful top-tier magical treasure, just a step away from being a Spirit Treasure,"

Lv Kun said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Shen Yuming's expression remained calm as he said, "What exactly are you trying to say, Brother Lv?"

Lv Kun replied with a smile:

"I have reliable information that the Flame Dragon Jade Seal is hidden inside the Red Dragon Immortal Palace. If Brother Shen is interested, why don't we explore it together?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those present became intriguing, each reacting differently.

Flame Dragon Jade Seal?

Suppress fortune?

Top-tier magical treasure?

Although the truth of Lv Kun's words was uncertain to everyone, there was no doubt it made many hearts waver.

No one could remain indifferent to such a treasure.

Only Gu Yuan found the situation increasingly strange.

According to Lv Kun, the Flame Dragon Jade Seal is indeed a treasure, and it's reasonable for people like Li Changsheng to be interested.

But Gu Yuan always felt that both might not be telling the whole truth, or that some crucial information about the Flame Dragon Jade Seal was not revealed.

There must be something important he didn't know.

Shen Yuming shook his head, "Let's forget about it; I have other important matters to attend to. Moreover, over the past millennia, many have entered the Red Dragon Immortal Palace in search of this item, but all have returned empty-handed. This thing isn't easy to find."

What Shen Yuming said was just an excuse, of course.

Considering how precious the Flame Dragon Jade Seal is, even though Lv Kun invited him to search for it together, if they were miraculously fortunate enough to find it, to whom would it belong?

Moreover, Lv Kun's character was well known to him—volatile, selfish, and arrogant—not someone benign, probably inviting him just for politeness or to use him as cannon fodder.

"That is really a pity."

Lv Kun was not angry, merely shaking his head regretfully, then addressing the people around, "I still have eight slots available, so if any Dao friends are interested after the banquet, feel free to discuss it with me."

Upon hearing this, many people's eyes lit up instantly, and they began to respond eagerly.

Shen Yuming smiled, though in his eyes flashed a hint of mockery and disdain.

Lv Kun, although the True Inheritance of the Gu God Sect and the favorite grandson of the Yang Spirit powerhouse, Ancestor Heavenly Insect, was seen by him as essentially worthless if stripped of his identity.

Anyone in Lv Kun's position would surely not fare worse than him.

Treating such a person with surface-level politeness, inwardly, he actually looked down on them.

Instead, it was Ji Canghai and Gu Yuan who warranted some caution from Shen Yuming.

With this thought, Shen Yuming looked toward Ji Canghai and Gu Yuan.

In the entire hall, the two people he couldn't quite see through were them.

Ji Canghai, with his Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, sat there seemingly still, yet shrouded in a mysterious aura.

Mysterious and unpredictable, difficult to fathom.

As for Gu Yuan…

When Shen Yuming looked at Gu Yuan, he was momentarily stunned.

For at this moment, Gu Yuan was taking a bite out of a plum-like Spirit Fruit from the table, munching away with crunchy sounds.

Compared to others enthusiastically mingling with Lv Kun, making cordial connections, Gu Yuan seemed uninterested in the Flame Dragon Jade Seal or the Red Dragon Order slots.

In Shen Yuming's eyes, Gu Yuan's cultivation seemed straightforward, at the level of Small Success in the Celestial Human Realm.

But Shen Yuming, noted for his True Dragon bloodline and exceptionally acute Spiritual Sense, could sense that although Gu Yuan's cultivation was somewhat lacking, his True Qi wave was peculiarly pure, and he could faintly feel within Gu Yuan a keen and lively aura.

This aura was clearly the Sword Dao Divine Techniques Gu Yuan cultivated, an essence so intimidating that even he sensed danger.

Evidently, although Gu Yuan's cultivation seemed beneath him, his mastery of Sword Dao Divine Techniques was inscrutable enough to pose a threat!

This revelation greatly surprised Shen Yuming.

To have mastered such an astonishing Swordsmanship, Gu Yuan's talent must be exceptional.

If it were only this, Shen Yuming would merely be surprised without other reactions.

Yet beyond this, Shen Yuming sensed another layer of threat emanating from Gu Yuan.

Clearly, Gu Yuan possessed some qualities beyond Shen Yuming's perception.

Shen Yuming glanced over Gu Yuan and suddenly said, "What is it? I see that Fellow Daoist Gu doesn't seem interested in the Red Dragon Order?"

With this remark, many turned their gaze toward Gu Yuan.

In fact, many present had heard of Gu Yuan and were somewhat curious about him.

Even Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised that Shen Yuming initiated a conversation with him but quickly calmed down, shaking his head, "To be honest, Brother Shen, I am naturally timid, plus my strength is too weak, so I never dare venture into dangerous places like the Red Dragon Immortal Palace."

Naturally timid?

And strength too weak?!

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, many present wore peculiar expressions, some even casting sidelong glances at Lv Kun with slightly odd looks.

The latest explosive news was about how Gu Yuan, a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator, had slain an entity like the Golden Core Demon known as Black Owl.

Moreover, that Black Owl was Lv Kun's underling.

A Celestial Human Realm Cultivator killing a Golden Core Demon, while claiming his nature is timid and strength too weak?

Then what are we Celestial Human Realm cultivators considered?

Lv Kun, who had been smiling, discussing the Red Dragon Order slots and exploring the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, had his expression turn sour when he caught Gu Yuan's modest statement, noticing the unusual glances his way from the crowd.
