Jiang Yuan had just sat down, not even having the time to drink a cup of tea.

Old Ma was immediately impatient, asking, “Young Master, how did it go? What did County Honour say?”

Jiang Yuan took a sip of his tea.

“No need to worry, he agreed.”

“That’s great! That’s great!”

Old Ma breathed a sigh of relief, his tense mood immediately relaxed.

Then he showed some regret and said, “It’s a shame that the Grand Old Master’s decades of hard work have gone back to the beginning.”

Jiang Yuan smiled, “This trip was not in vain, the County Honour, was still generous. He gave me an elixir before he left.”

“What elixir?” Old Ma asked, surprised.

“Organ Refining Pill.”

Having said that, Jiang Yuan took out a jade bottle from his bosom.

In an instant, the eyes of Old Ma and Gu Mo were drawn to this small jade bottle.

“Organ Refining Pill? Is it the legendary graded elixir?”

Old Ma was extremely astonished.

“Correct!” Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.

“Then Young Master should consume it quickly. This kind of elixir is difficult to obtain with money. Even if you have the channels to get it, an Organ Refining Pill would cost at least a few thousand taels of silver.”

Jiang Yuan casually said, “There’s no rush, there’s something more important.”

“What is it?”

Old Ma’s face filled with curiosity.

“It’s about Gu Mo!”

Having said that, Jiang Yuan turned to Gu Mo, who was standing by, and said, “Come over.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Gu Mo respectfully complied, and then came before Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan bent over and removed Gu Mo’s horse-slashing saber from his waist.

The two looked at Jiang Yuan in bewilderment.

Jiang Yuan held the horse-slashing saber, his fingers lightly tapped the blade.

Clang!

A crisp vibration entered their ears.

“The blade is a good blade, but it’s not suitable for you.”

Jiang Yuan said in a plain tone.

Then, with a strong flick of his wrist, the horse-slashing saber, like a thundering arrow, instantly stabbed into the nearby weapon rack.

“Young Master… what do you mean?”

Gu Mo was somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, “Do you know what weapon you’re truly good at?”

“The Saber!”

Gu Mo resolutely replied.

Old Ma echoed, “Exactly! Gu Mo’s speed with a saber is legendary in Lin’an County. His ability with a saber far exceeds normal people’s. Otherwise, how could he have gained the title ‘The Quick Saber’.”

Jiang Yuan slightly nodded, “Uncle Ma, you’re right. Gu Mo does have a talent for sabers. But his true talent lies in swordsmanship. His talent in swordsmanship is extraordinary, as if there is a Sword God within him.”

“Sword?”

Gu Mo’s eyes showed a hint of ripples upon hearing this.

He couldn’t help but recall his past.

When he was a boy, he loved wooden swords. A slender tree branch in his hands could slash a ten-mile radius of rapeseed flowers.

He had a special fondness for swords, that period was his happiest days.

Later his family went through a catastrophe, if it weren’t for Jiang Yuan’s help, he would have died on that snowy night.

In order to take revenge, he officially embarked on the path of cultivation and studied the family’s traditional saber arts.

Within a few years, he had made some achievements, avenged his enemies, and fulfilled his hatred.

So many years had passed since then. As for the sword, he hadn’t touched it again since that time.

On one hand, it was because his family’s body-forging secret technique was only effective with saber arts. Without the tempering of the body-forging secret technique, no matter how outstanding his talent in swordsmanship, it was pointless.

On the other hand, it was because he found that he had a good talent in saber arts. Combined with the family’s body-forging secret technique, not only was his saber skills superior, his cultivation speed was also much faster than others.’

Due to these factors, he naturally never considered learning the sword.

But hearing Jiang Yuan’s words now, Gu Mo felt a touch of excitement.

At this time, Old Ma still looked skeptical.

“Young Master, aren’t you exaggerating a bit? ‘Sword God in the flesh’ is an extreme evaluation. Does Gu Mo really have such talent? And talents, how could you decipher them all just from one glance?”

Jiang Yuan merely smiled, offering no explanation.

Coming to a nearby weapons rack, he picked up the heavy sword he usually used for his daily cultivation practice.

“Catch!”

Then he swung his right hand, and the heavy sword with its sharp and piercing whizzing sound shot toward Gu Mo.

Gu Mo, facing the thunderous momentum of the heavy sword, showed no ripple in his eyes.

He just reached out and caught it, the heavy sword weighing five or six hundred jin fell into his hand.

Gu Mo held the heavy sword, effortlessly waving it a couple of times.

He felt as though he and the sword in his hand had fused into one.

Even though he had not used a sword for many years, at this moment, he felt nothing unfamiliar.

On the contrary, it was incredibly familiar, as if he was an expert swordsman who had practiced for many years.

A feeling of perfect harmony naturally arose.

The sword in his hand, at this moment, seemed to become an extension of his own body.

“But Young Master, though Gu Mo now has a sword, without the Body Forging secret technique, how can he abandon the knife and practice the sword?” Old Ma asked.

“He can practice our family secret technique, the Wind Thunder Sword Technique.” Jiang Yuan said indifferently.

“How… how is that possible? This is your family’s secret technique, how can it be passed on to outsiders!”

Old Ma’s eyes widened in surprise.

Jiang Yuan calmly said: “Why not? The Jiang Family only has me left now, I am the Family Head of the Jiang Family. It is my decision who the Wind Thunder Sword Technique should be passed on to.”

“Besides, considering Gu Mo’s actions over these years, how can he be considered an outsider?”

Upon saying this, Jiang Yuan took out a slightly yellowed ancient book and handed it to Gu Mo.

“You can comprehend it directly here. With your current level, it should be easy to get started.”

A hint of emotion flashed across Gu Mo’s face.

He gazed at Jiang Yuan for a long time before nodding heavily.

Then he took the Body Forging secret technique book from Jiang Yuan and concentrated. He quickly became engrossed.

Seeing this, the two left the place quietly.

Coming to the courtyard, Old Ma looked at the extremely focused Gu Mo in the distance.

His tone still full of doubt: “Young Master, is his talent in the way of the sword really as amazing as you said?”

“Only higher, not lower!” Jiang Yuan said calmly.

After watching Gu Mo in the distance for a while, he turned and left.

At this moment, Old Ma was still mumbling to himself.

“How is this possible, is the Young Master a reincarnation of an Immortal, able to see at a glance that Gu Mo’s talent in the way of the sword is extraordinary?”

“I’ll wait here and see if Gu Mo is really as the Young Master said, that he has the Talent of a Sword God!”

On the other side.

Jiang Yuan returned to his residence.

Closing the door, he sat cross-legged.

He took out the elixir given by the County Honour from his bag.

Then he opened the bottle and poured the pill into his palm.

In an instant, a rich aroma of medicine assailed his nose.

Jiang Yuan felt that the qi and blood within his body had become more active, slightly boiling.

He could clearly see a pill pattern on the pigeon egg-sized Organ Refining Pill.

Jiang Yuan was overjoyed.

The presence of the pill pattern meant that this Organ Refining Pill was indeed a high-quality elixir.

It seems that I have hope to make a breakthrough, Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

Immediately, he swallowed it in one gulp.

As soon as the elixir entered his throat, it seemed like a falling sun, radiating a rolling heat.

Until it landed in his stomach.

The abundant medicinal power diffused into thousands of strands of heat flow, permeating all over his organs.

Jiang Yuan’s body instantly turned red, and his whole person glowed red.

This was an illusion caused by the boiling qi and blood in his body.

What a strong effect! Worthy of being a first-rate elixir!

Feeling the various changes in his body, Jian Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart.

The next moment.

He collected his thoughts and began to refine the medicinal power in his body at full speed.

With each strand of medicinal power being refined, Jiang Yuan felt the heartbeat in his chest becoming stronger and stronger.

Like a resounding drum, each beat stronger than the last.

Endless blood was produced from the heart chamber, flowing to all parts of his body.

His internal organs at this moment also became more robust.
