#130 - Rumor!
"That's right, besides you, young master, there are also several other guests..."
The middle-aged man said honestly.
"Okay, please lead the way."
Gu Yuan nodded slightly.
...
"Spring Pavilion..."
Gu Yuan looked up at the seven-story building in front of him.
This tall building was one of the tallest buildings in Beiliang City, and it was also the most famous restaurant. The master chefs inside were skilled in cooking all kinds of delicacies. It was said that even the cheapest table of wine and dishes cost six or seven taels of silver.
Those who could afford to consume here were all rich and noble people.
Gu Yuan had never been here, but he had heard of the reputation of this Spring Pavilion.
"Young Master Gu, please come in. Miss Xia San is on the fifth floor."
A waiter greeted him with a smile and bowed as he led the way.
Gu Yuan didn't say anything, just followed silently.
"Young Master Gu, please come in."
Arriving outside a厢房 on the fifth floor, the waiter opened the door for Gu Yuan and quietly retreated.
Gu Yuan also saw the situation inside the private room.
There were eight people in the private room.
Xia Xiu Xue, the Third Miss Xia, was naturally among them, and she was sitting in the seat of honor.
On both sides of her, there were several young men and women.
Each one of them was radiant and dressed in brocade clothes, with outstanding temperament. Anyone could tell at a glance that these young men and women were all from extraordinary backgrounds.
"Brother Gu."
Seeing Gu Yuan, Xia Xiu Xue stood up and nodded, then said:
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is my friend Gu Yuan, and also another person recommended by my father for the assessment."
Gu Yuan cupped his hands: "Gu Yuan greets everyone."
Xia Xiu Xue smiled: "Brother Gu, let me introduce you."
"This is Lu Ming, the Third Young Master of the Lu family in Rongyuan Prefecture..."
"And this is Zheng Changxing, also from Rongyuan Prefecture... the Second Young Master of the Fifth Branch of the Zheng family. Although young, he has cultivated his family's martial arts to perfection!"
"Miss Ye, from Mingchuan Prefecture..."
...
After a round of introductions, everyone took their seats one after another.
Gu Yuan chose a slightly remote corner, sipped tea little by little, tasted the pastries, and silently listened to these people chatting.
The Taiyuan True Qi was pure and clean, and could wash away the impurities in the body. Therefore, even if he ate ordinary food, it would not hinder his cultivation, so he didn't avoid it.
As Gu Yuan expected, these people were the talents recommended by the Pavilion Lords of the Jade Cauldron Towers in various places.
This time, they came to Beiliang City specifically to accept the assessment of Crane Feather True Person.
And from Gu Yuan's point of view, these young masters and young ladies not only had backgrounds, but each of them was also quite strong. The vast majority had already reached the Bone Refinement Realm, and there were even two who were Innate Martial Masters.
To be able to become peak Martial Masters or even Innate Martial Masters at such a young age, it was obvious that these people had good talent.
Of course, this was obvious.
To be recommended by the Pavilion Lords of the Jade Cauldron Tower to accept the assessment of the Medicine King Mountain disciple, would it be possible without some talent?
"This time, Elder Crane Feather has opened the mountain gate wide to recruit disciples, and hundreds of people from the four prefectures have come to accept the assessment."
One of the young men, dressed in brocade clothes and with a heroic spirit, played with the jade cup in his hand and swept across the crowd:
"These hundreds of people are all the most qualified and talented people in various places. The competition will inevitably be fierce at that time. Everyone must help each other."
Everyone echoed.
"That's for sure!"
"Brother Lu is right."
"That's right, we have been familiar with Xiu Xue for a long time, and we are not outsiders. We should help each other."
While speaking, several people glanced at Gu Yuan, their eyes full of scrutiny and doubt.
These people were all children of wealthy families, and some even came from cultivation families. Their elders also knew each other.
Only Gu Yuan was from a commoner background, and his status was far different from theirs.
If it weren't for Xia Xiu Xue saying that Gu Yuan was already an Innate Martial Master at a young age, and his record was outstanding, they might not be willing to let Gu Yuan into the banquet.
Since Gu Yuan had advanced to become an Innate Martial Master, it meant that he had good qualifications, and he was qualified to sit with them.
It's just that because they were not familiar with him, no one paid attention to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan didn't care, and drank tea on his own.

At this time, the young man just now said: "I wonder if you know anything about the requirements for Medicine King Mountain to recruit disciples?"
The young man's name was Lu Ming, and his family background was not bad. It was said that he was a large family in Rongyuan Prefecture, and he was also one of the two Innate Martial Masters among them.
In Gu Yuan's view, he was also the leader of these people.
Hearing Lu Ming's words, the others cheered up.
One of them said in a deep voice: "I do know the standards for Medicine King Mountain to recruit disciples in the past."
"It is related to the talent of the root bone and the age itself. The root bone must be at least medium, and the age must not exceed eighteen years old to have the possibility of joining Medicine King Mountain. In addition, Medicine King Mountain also has certain restrictions on the martial arts and exercises practiced by individuals. For example, Medicine King Mountain will not accept martial masters who have practiced poisonous skills or martial arts that destroy qi and blood."
Speaking of this, he shook his head:
"But this time, it is Crane Feather True Person of the Sect lineage who has come down the mountain to recruit disciples, not the official recruitment of disciples from Medicine King Mountain, so the requirements are definitely different."
Everyone nodded.
Gu Yuan also agreed.
This time, the disciples were recruited from the Sect lineage, not the entire Medicine King Mountain.
Therefore, the requirements and standards were definitely different from the past.
"I heard that Brother Lu has superior root bones, and he has been amazingly perceptive since he was a child. The family's supreme martial art 'Blazing Sun True Art' was very quick to learn, and it only took less than a month to get started. There may even be hidden talents."
One of them raised his wine glass and complimented:
"With your talent, Brother Lu, you will definitely be valued by Crane Feather True Person. If Brother Lu develops in the future, don't forget us."
A restrained smile appeared on Lu Ming's face: "Brother Zhang, you are too kind..."
"Brother Lu, and Brother Yu Zhengmao, all of you have superior root bones, and it will definitely be easy to join Medicine King Mountain... Unlike me, I only have medium root bones, alas..."
The man just now shook his head and sighed.
Xia Xiu Xue comforted: "Why should Brother Zhang belittle himself? Medium root bones are not bad, and Brother Zhang, you are amazingly perceptive. It should not be difficult to become a disciple of Medicine King Mountain."
Someone poured wine for the young man surnamed Zhang and took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Zhang, one of your elders is a deacon of Medicine King Mountain, does Brother Zhang have any inside information?"
The young man surnamed Zhang shook his head and said: "To be honest, I don't know much about Medicine King Mountain, but I do know a little about some things..."
Several people flattered each other, then turned to talk about other things. Gu Yuan didn't speak, just pricked up his ears to listen.
These people were all quite experienced, and they also knew a lot about the internal situation of Medicine King Mountain, which allowed Gu Yuan to take the opportunity to learn a lot.
"There is news that you may not know yet?"
At this time, Yu Zhengmao glanced around and said seriously: "This time, even the Li family has disciples coming to accept the assessment for Crane Feather True Person to recruit disciples!"
"The Li family?"
Lu Ming, who was originally calm, changed his expression slightly: "Is it the Li family in Qinzhou City?"
