#126 - Purple jade gourd!
“This jade gourd… what exactly is it?”
Gu Yuan was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
He had previously suspected that this object should have some origin, especially since it initially had over five hundred Dao runes attached to it when he first obtained it.
Ordinary objects would never have so many Dao runes on them.
However, Gu Yuan later used the Lesser Treasure Seeking Art to examine it, and since he didn't find anything unusual, he stopped paying attention to it.
But now it seems that this jade pendant is not simple, and it must contain some secrets.
Previously, this object had no abnormalities, but now, as Gu Yuan undergoes a metamorphosis and his talent transforms, this jade gourd just happens to show an anomaly.
The reason for this is worth considering.
Holding the jade gourd in his hand, Gu Yuan tried to sense it with his mind, but he didn't sense anything.
When his mental power touched it, it was difficult to penetrate it at all.
“Hmm? Something's strange!”
Suddenly, Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he noticed a trace of abnormality in the gourd.
He discovered that as long as he held the gourd and changed its orientation, the light flickering on the surface of the gourd would weaken, but when he changed to another direction, the light would become stronger.
“No, that's not right!”
After Gu Yuan tried changing several directions, he found that only by walking in one direction would the light on the surface of the jade gourd become brighter.
He quickly realized: “It's not a problem with the gourd itself, but that the gourd is guiding me in a direction! Could it be that it's asking me to find something, or someone?”
Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then simply grabbed his Autumn Water Sword, gave Ao Da a few more instructions, and jumped over the courtyard wall.
He held the jade gourd in one hand while discerning the direction, rushing towards the direction indicated by the gourd.
Passing through streets and alleys, he didn't stop along the way.
As he walked, Gu Yuan arrived in front of a courtyard.
“Hmm, this is…”
He stopped and subconsciously looked up, suddenly freezing in place.
Because the courtyard in front of him was clearly the home of Lin Zhou, the scholar he had met before!
“It actually brought me here…”
Gu Yuan was puzzled, took a few steps forward, and knocked on the courtyard door.
Before long, the courtyard door was opened by a plump woman.
Seeing Gu Yuan, she was a little surprised, but she still bowed slightly: “So it's Mr. Gu. Is Mr. Gu here to see Lin Lang?”
This woman was none other than Hu Xiu Niang, a familiar face whom Gu Yuan had met several times, and the lover of the scholar Lin Zhou.
“Sister Hu.”
Gu Yuan returned the greeting, then smiled and said: “I took a leisurely stroll through the streets, and unknowingly, I wandered over here. I hope I'm not disturbing you.”
“Mr. Gu, you're too kind. Lin Lang is at home right now, please come in.”
Hu Xiu Niang stepped aside.
“Thank you.”
Gu Yuan nodded.
Seeing that the closer he got to the house, the brighter the light from the jade gourd in his hand became, he calmly put it away, and then entered the house.
… …
“Brother Gu, take care on your way, I won’t see you off any further.”
More than half an hour later, at the entrance of the courtyard, Lin Zhou and Hu Xiu Niang saw Gu Yuan off.
“Brother Lin, Sister Hu, please stop here.”
Gu Yuan returned the greeting, and then bid farewell and left.
After returning home, it was already late.
Mother Gu brought food, Gu Yuan ate a few bites, then couldn't wait to take out his jade gourd.
Then he stretched out his other palm, flipped it over, and there was another purple jade gourd in his palm.
This purple jade gourd and the green jade gourd, apart from the difference in color, the appearance, style, and size of the two were exactly the same!
That's right, this purple jade gourd was what the green jade gourd guided him to find.
This object belonged to Hu Xiu Niang, said to be an accessory passed down by her mother, which she had accidentally picked up in the mountains and had been kept in her jewelry box.
Just now, Gu Yuan didn't say any nonsense, after simply exchanging a few pleasantries, he directly asked the two if they had seen a jade gourd.
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiu Niang took it out, and then Gu Yuan spent money to buy it.
Gu Yuan didn't know whether Hu Xiu Niang's mother's story of picking up the object in the mountains was true or false, but now was clearly not the time to dwell on this issue.
Because now, the two jade gourds were sensing each other, the light rising and falling, like two magnets, gradually attracting each other, and then emitting a rich and intense purple-green spiritual light.

As the purple-green light shone brightly, Gu Yuan subconsciously narrowed his eyes, but he also vaguely saw the two jade gourds merging together.
Before long, when the light dimmed, only one gourd remained in front of Gu Yuan.
A palm-sized gourd with purple and green intertwined!
At this time, this gourd exuded a faint purple-green spiritual light, quietly floating in front of Gu Yuan.
“This…”
Gu Yuan was stunned, somewhat unclear about what was happening.
“Eh?”
However, at this moment, a surprised voice came from inside the gourd.
Then, a wisp of smoke emerged from it, the smoke turned into a cloud, gathering into a figure, appearing in front of Gu Yuan.
This figure was quite tall, wearing a purple-gold Taoist robe, a jade crown, and a yellow-skinned gourd hanging from his waist.
His figure was slightly plump, his skin was snow-white, his earlobes were very large, and he looked quite wealthy.
His eyes stared at Gu Yuan: “Boy, your physique is a bit strange…”
“It has a 70% similarity to the Kui Water Spiritual Body. Although there are some differences in some places, it is no less inferior to the Kui Water Spiritual Body, and it is even a bit stronger. It is clearly a kind of Water Element Spiritual Body that I have never seen before…”
The mysterious Taoist circled around Gu Yuan, saying as he shook his head:
“Strange! It's really strange, there is actually a Water Element Spiritual Body that I don't know about in this world! And besides possessing a Spiritual Body, you actually also have a Sword Heart talent, which is quite rare…”
“It's just a pity that even if your Spiritual Body is a little stronger than the Kui Water Spiritual Body, it's still just a Spiritual Body, not a Dao Body…”
“Forget it, forget it, a Spiritual Body is fine after all, because the Ancestral Master back then… moreover…”
His tone was quite arrogant, as if he knew all the Water Element Spiritual Bodies in the world.
Later, he was obviously somewhat regretful and惋惜.
In the end, it seemed because of certain taboos, his words were vague, and he didn't say it out loud.
However, being stared at by this Taoist, Gu Yuan felt a chill down his spine, with a feeling of being seen through inside and out, from head to toe.
This was obviously a bit incredible.
With Gu Yuan's current cultivation, even a Celestial Realm cultivator might not necessarily be able to give him this feeling with just a look.
Moreover, the other party saw through his Water Element Spiritual Body and Sword Heart talent with just one glance. This insight was truly terrifying!
Gu Yuan scratched his head, seeming to feel a bit of numbness on his scalp. He was vigilant in his heart, but on the surface, he calmly cupped his hands and saluted:
“My name is Gu Yuan, may I ask for the esteemed senior's Daoist name.”
The two jade gourds merged into one, and then a Taoist emerged. Such a change was something he had not expected.
But in any case, one thing was certain: this Taoist must have a great background!
