Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags-Chapter 1211 - 523

In the courtyard,

Upon hearing these words from Jiang Yuan, Dugu Bo instantly caught onto those two words.

"True Spirit Realm? What is the True Spirit Realm?"

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to speak, he suddenly received a message from Shu Xiaoxiao.

He then said, "Dean, why don’t you come back to my mansion for a small gathering? We can talk while we eat."

"Good!" Dugu Bo immediately nodded.

"Then let’s go!" Jiang Yuan said again.

"Wait a moment!" Dugu Bo slowly shook his head.

At those words, Jiang Yuan looked at Dugu Bo with a puzzled expression, "Dean, what’s the matter?"

Dugu Bo chuckled, "Nothing much. It’s just that a few days ago Ji Hao entrusted me to inform him if I met you. He has something he wishes to visit you over personally!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo gave a mysterious smile, "It’s a good thing for you!"

"Oh?" Jiang Yuan showed curiosity, "Then Dean, please inform him. I’m quite eager to find out what this good thing is!"

"Sure!" Dugu Bo nodded straightaway.

After a few breaths in silence, he said, "I’ve informed him; he will visit you personally soon. We should head out first!"

"Good!" Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, then took a step forward.

In an instant, the two of them, one after the other, quickly traversed thousands of mountains and rivers.

...

A moment later,

The figures of the two vanished from the Holy Institute and appeared at the main entrance of Jiang Yuan’s mansion.

Boom—

The gate shook slightly, and the long-sealed doors of Jiang Yuan’s mansion swung open to both sides.

"Greetings, Young Master, greetings, Elder!" said Shu Xiaoxiao, standing respectfully behind the door.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo chuckled, "Little girl, there’s no need for such formalities. Jiang Yuan and I are not strangers."

Jiang Yuan also spoke up, "Xiaoxiao, go on with your tasks. I will attend to the Dean."

"Yes, yes!" Shu Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly. "Young Master, I’ll continue preparing the food and will serve it to you shortly."

"Thank you for your efforts!" Jiang Yuan walked through the threshold with Dugu Bo, gently touching Shu Xiaoxiao’s head with his hand.

Instantly, Shu Xiaoxiao looked up at Jiang Yuan with a beaming smile.

After that, Dugu Bo watched Shu Xiaoxiao turn to leave and couldn’t help but say, "You’ve also got Ye Chanxi, the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Demon Sect, outside. Does this little girl know about her?"

"She doesn’t know yet!" said Jiang Yuan.

"When do you plan to tell this little girl? I saw it long ago! You have special feelings for this girl, and she has special feelings for you too," Dugu Bo immediately asked, sharing his contemplations.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment upon hearing this and then slowly shook his head, "I haven’t thought it through yet. We’ll see when the time comes."

Thereafter, the two crossed the front courtyard and arrived at the small courtyard where Jiang Yuan resided.

They saw that the pavilion in front of the courtyard was already set with drinks and food.

Golden, crispy Dragon Bones were placed on the stone table, still steaming hot.

"Nice treat!" Dugu Bo sniffed slightly at the sight of the good wine and delicious food before him, his face showing admiration.

Jiang Yuan smiled, "It’s nothing special really, these Dragon Bones are just from the Flood Dragon King."

"Oh? Flood Dragon King?" Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan with mild surprise, "Which Flood Dragon King from the East Sea is this? Judging by the ingredients, they’re extraordinary, and the steaming heat contains a great amount of energy essence. Its cultivation level must be quite high even among the ranks of Demon Kings!"

Jiang Yuan said, "Sea Demon King!"

"Sea Demon King?" Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise and then slowly shook his head, "I’ve never heard of it!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

At this sudden change in Dugu Bo’s demeanor, Jiang Yuan felt an inexplicable speechlessness wash over him.

At that moment, Dugu Bo, noticing Jiang Yuan’s expression, casually took a seat, his mood lightened.

...

After a short while,

once Dugu Bo had sipped the fine wine and tasted the exquisite cuisine,

"Shall we continue our conversation from before?"

"Of course!" Jiang Yuan nodded, put down his wine cup, and continued, "As I mentioned to the Dean previously, I call this new realm the True Spirit Realm."

"Or it could be called the Spiritual Flesh Realm as well. This name is more accurate, but it doesn’t sound as nice. I prefer calling it the True Spirit Realm."

Upon hearing these two sentences from Jiang Yuan, Dugu Bo saw that Jiang Yuan was about to pause again.

He immediately scratched his head in frustration, "You know I’m driven by curiosity right now, and yet you’re going on about irrelevant nonsense!"

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but smile, "I haven’t forgotten that the Dean teased me just now, so it’s only fair to tease you back."

Then, seeing the eager yet hesitant look on Dugu Bo’s face, Jiang Yuan spoke again.

"All right, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer!"

As he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan’s expression became extremely serious.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo also sat up straighter.

Knowing how serious Jiang Yuan was, he understood that the information packed in the forthcoming conversation would be of immense importance.

His student had succeeded in paving a new cultivation pathway based on his previous foundation, an achievement that could almost parallel the legendary Daoist ancestors in myth.

Previously, he had emerged from the sixth secret realm of the physical body, the Secret Realm of Spiritual Platform.

This was due to the accumulation of experience before.

There had been many speculations regarding the next steps of physical body cultivation, including those about the Secret Realm of Spiritual Platform.

So even though Jiang Yuan had guided him through that crucial step and opened a new realm for the physical body,

Making this path synonymous with the pinnacle of the Human Realm, although he valued it, he didn’t value it enough.

Because this pathway, even if taken to its end, would only equate to the previous cultivation pathways within the Human Realm.
