Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Soon, he led Jiang Yuan to a small courtyard.

There were mountains, water, and trees. Though the place wasn’t large, its layout and design was nuanced and well-planned.

“Senior Brother Jiang, this is the best small courtyard around here. Please make do with it.” He said apologetically.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand: “It’s alright! I am very satisfied with this courtyard.”

He then pulled out a spiritual stone and gave it to him.

The man was delighted and thanked him, “Thank you for your generosity, Senior Brother Jiang! Let me know if there’s anything else you need, my name is Dong Quan. I have a good understanding of most things in Yunxiao City! I won’t bother you any longer!”

After he finished speaking, he respectfully left. Before leaving, he even helped Jiang Yuan close the front door.

At this time, Shu Xiaoxiao also said, “Young Master, I will organize your bedroom for you!”

A while later,

As Jiang Yuan was about to continue contemplating his Celestial Star Diagram, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

Jiang Yuan used his divine sense to sweep over the person outside, and was surprised because he did not recall seeing this person before.

The man outside the courtyard had a faint smile on his face, “Junior Brother Jiang, it’s not very polite to spy on others!”

Jiang Yuan said: “Please come in, Senior Brother!”

Squeak!

The door to the courtyard was pushed open.

A man in his thirties stepped over the threshold.

His eyes were sharp and bright, and he held a lofty and dignified aura.

Upon seeing Jiang Yuan, he immediately saluted him: “I am Kou Dong, I’ve heard about your battle accomplishments, Junior Brother Jiang. I was curious, and so I took the liberty to visit you today!”

Upon hearing the name Kou Dong, Jiang Yuan was surprised.

Because he recognized him from the Heavenly Ranking. He is a cultivator at the fourth level of Spiritual Sea Realm, ranking seventy-third.

Jiang Yuan saluted in return: “So it’s Senior Brother from Qingxi Peak, please have a seat!”

They took their seats in the pavilion.

“I wonder what brings Senior Brother Kou to visit me today?” Jiang Yuan poured him a cup of hot tea.

Kou Dong smiled, “I was just curious. I wanted to get a glimpse of the legend who defeated Liang Qiu despite the difference in cultivation realms! Seeing it for myself, I realized the rumors were true! My intuition tells me that you aren’t a sheep before me, but a tiger of the same caliber!”

After he finished speaking, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He was born with an extraordinary talent, able to sense the strength of the opponent.

Upon meeting Jiang Yuan today, he felt his muscles involuntarily tensing up.

This meant that he instinctively perceived Jiang Yuan as a threat.

This feeling was incredible to him.

It was because Jiang Yuan had yet to break through the Spiritual Sea Realm, but still posed a considerable threat to him.

That indicated that Jiang Yuan’s actual battle prowess was extraordinarily powerful.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan also glanced at Kou Dong’s status panel.

[Transcendent Perception (Blue)]: Able to sense any potential threat to oneself intuitively, randomly foreseeing imminent doom.

Seeing his innate Luck Power, Jiang Yuan knew that Kou Dong was not lying.

Kou Dong sighed: “Initially, I thought the rumors about you were exaggerations from your Junior Brothers. But now I realize they’ve actually downplayed your abilities! You are way more powerful than they claimed, even I wouldn’t be certain of defeating you!”

Jiang Yuan merely smiled, “Senior Brother, you flatter me. You are ranked seventy-third on the Heavenly Ranking. How could I even compare to you?”

Kou Dong shook his head, “That’s just an ordinary ranking list, it doesn’t prove much. Many people are far stronger than their rank suggests. Cultivation realm doesn’t represent actual battle prowess! If you want the list to change, you need to personally defeat a heaven genius ranked higher than you.”

“But how often do the top talents of different forces get the chance to compete against each other, unless they’re martial fanatics who go challenging others everywhere. Their rankings have a strong representative significance.”

“My ranking is the result of good luck. I once defeated a heaven genius from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.”

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, “Senior Brother is too modest! I feel that your actual battle prowess is not limited to being ranked seventy-third.”

Upon looking at all of Kou Dong’s innate Luck Powers, Jiang Yuan knew this.

This Senior Brother is good at hiding his strength.

He’s not a fourth level Spiritual Sea Realm cultivator, he had already broken through to the fifth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm.

And a few of his innate Luck Powers are geared towards combat.

Although he’s not yet in possession of a purple grade innate Luck Power, he should not be underestimated.

After a friendly exchange, Kou Dong took his leave.

Upon leaving the courtyard, he contemplated a bit.

He sent a message to his master to say that Jiang Yuan was worthy of their attention. They should try to befriend him, not antagonize him.

He was stationed in Yunxiao City for a long time. He had heard from his master earlier to check out Jiang Yuan with his innate talent and see whether it was worth befriending him.

He had planned to visit his sect in a few days to meet with Jiang Yuan and get a feel for him.

But then he heard that Jiang Yuan had arrived today.

So that led to his unannounced visit.

In no time, five days passed.

After freshening up with the help of Shu Xiaoxiao, Jiang Yuan casually absorbed the Luck Power that Shu Xiaoxiao had just accumulated.

He then took another look at his own status panel.
