After listening to Gu Yu’s narration, Xu Taiping, Dongfang Yuejian beside him, and Master Xuanzhi all felt a bit of scalp tingling.
Mentally thinking, a mortal has eaten the spiritual spring water nurtured by the eye of the earth vein for nearly six years and the spiritual jujubes nurtured by the spiritual spring water of the earth vein for nearly sixty years, and is actually still alive and well.
Isn’t this also a kind of “innate talent”？
After looking deeply at Gu Yu for a moment, Xu Taiping suddenly walked straight towards him and stopped only when he was only four or five feet away from him.
When Gu Yu saw Xu Taiping approaching, he immediately trembled and said with a look of timidity on his face：
”U… Upper Immortal, could it be that I, could it be that I have done something wrong and offended several Upper Immortals？
Judging from this posture, I’m afraid that if Xu Taiping gets one more step closer, that Gu Yu will kneel down.
Xu Taiping shook his head and said：
”No.”
As he spoke, he reached out and put his hand on Gu Yu’s shoulder and seriously explained：
”This trip to Thousand Island Lake to slay the dragon is extremely dangerous. I came to see your bones and muscles to see if you are suitable to travel with us.”
When Gu Yu heard this, his expression immediately became serious and he patted his chest vigorously and said：
”Upper Immortal, not to mention anything else, my old bones of Gu Yu are by no means inferior to those of young people！”
Xu Taiping didn’t speak, but very carefully used the cultivation base of the Open Door Realm to inject a little true qi into Gu Yu’s skinny shoulder.
He wanted to use a little zhenqi to test the reaction of Gu Yu’s body.
”Peng！…”
To Xu Taiping’s great surprise, when his little zhenqi was injected into Gu Yu’s shoulder, Gu Yu’s body, or rather, the bones on Gu Yu’s body, actually trembled violently, forcibly shaking off his hand that was pressing on Gu Yu’s shoulder.
When Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi on the side saw this scene, both of them had expressions of horror on their faces.
The two of them knew Xu Taiping’s body very well and knew that ordinary strength could not possibly bounce off his palm.
So the two of them looked at each other very tacitly, and a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes – “This Gu Yu’s body is extraordinary!”
And Gu Yu himself was startled and immediately apologized in horror：
”Upper Immortal, I didn’t mean to just now. It was my body that bounced uncontrollably！”
Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head and said：
”Don’t be nervous. Being able to bounce my palm away shows that your bone quality is very good.”
Gu Yu, who received the praise immediately had a bright light in his eyes, and his eyes were full of surprise.
Xu Taiping then put his hand on Gu Yu’s thin shoulder again and then said seriously：
”Don’t move. I have to check again.”
Gu Yu immediately nodded vigorously and said：
”Alright, Superior Immortal, this old man won’t move, definitely won’t move！”
Xu Taiping nodded, and then once again with extremely great difficulty, he gently sent a wisp of true essence into Gu Yu’s shoulder.
At this time, he had already discovered that the restriction on his cultivation in this world was more like a limitation.
For example, in the Upper Qing Realm, if he wanted to force out a wisp of true essence from his body, it was just a matter of a thought.
But in this Burial of Immortals Ruins, it was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back and moving forward, extremely difficult.
Moreover, the more true essence you used, the more mountains would be pressing on your body.
Finally, Xu Taiping exerted all his strength and finally forced that wisp of true essence out of his palm and into Gu Yu’s shoulder.
This kind of pure true essence, when forced out of the body without using any magic, was no different from ordinary heaven and earth spiritual energy.
So Xu Taiping didn’t have to worry about causing harm to Gu Yu.
And the intention of his doing this was like throwing a stone to ask the way, to see how Gu Yu’s body would react after this wisp of true essence with his own divine sense seeped in.
If it was really just a mortal body, there would definitely be no reaction.
But in Xu Taiping’s opinion, being able to withstand such a huge amount of spiritual power, Gu Yu’s body could never be an ordinary mortal body.
While thinking like this, Gu Yu’s body suddenly trembled again.
However, this time, Xu Taiping was well-prepared and was not shaken away by Gu Yu’s body.
Immediately, through that strand of his true essence, Xu Taiping sensed that after infiltrating Gu Yu’s bones, extremely violent spiritual energy auras, like fierce beasts awakening from dormancy, all rushed towards Xu Taiping’s strand of true essence.
In just one or two breaths, Xu Taiping’s strand of true essence was completely devoured by the spiritual energy as deep as the ocean contained in Gu Yu’s bones.
Immediately, with a look of shock in his heart, Xu Taiping transmitted his voice to Lian Tong and said：
“Have you ever heard that someone can hide all the spiritual energy accumulated in five or six decades in their bones？”
After hearing this, Lian Tong’s tone was very surprised and said：
“You mean this Gu Yu has hidden the spiritual energy in his bones？”
Xu Taiping replied：
“That’s right！”
Lian Tong’s tone was very solemn and said：
“Unless he has a natural divine and strange bone.”
After hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart shook violently and said：
“Natural divine and strange bone？ Is this possible？”
Lian Tong said：
“It’s not completely impossible？”
Lian Tong continued：
“Especially under the restriction of this kind of Burial Immortal Ruins, after hundreds of thousands of years of reproduction, the spiritual power absorbed by mortals has nowhere to hide and can only run around in the body.
On the contrary, it is possible to make the divine bone and bloodline that has been sleeping in the body wake up.
Xu Taiping’s heart was shocked.
He put away the hand that was on Gu Yu’s shoulder, looked at Gu Yu in front of him with a complex expression and a somewhat “cowering” look, and at the same time asked Lotus Eye in his heart：
“If it is a natural divine bone, then how terrifying should his potential be in the path of cultivation, especially in the path of martial arts？”
Lotus Eye replied：
“I’m afraid that if you casually teach him a set of saber techniques or boxing techniques, it will be enough to make him invincible among the warriors in this world.”
When Xu Taiping heard this, the corner of his mouth trembled a few times and he secretly said：
“No wonder the saber he used earlier seemed to have no rules at all, but it had quite a bit of momentum.”
However, he soon had a new question in his heart——
“Why, after all these years, no one has discovered his divine bone？”
Lotus Eye suddenly smiled and said：
“Just like the legendary painting a dragon and dotting its eyes, before the divine bone is enlightened by true yuan or absorbs enough spiritual power, on the surface, it looks like an ordinary bone, but it is just harder than ordinary bones and can continuously absorb the spiritual power in food.”
After hearing this, Xu Taiping was first stunned, and then smiled bitterly and said：
“In that case, it was I who enlightened him.”
And just as he was communicating with Liantong, Gu Yu in front of him saw his complexion changing and thought that Xu Taiping was not satisfied with his old bones.
So Gu Yu said nervously：
“Immortal, if you despise my old bones and I can’t go to war, this old man can still lead the way for you immortals. Over the years, this old man has traveled everywhere. I have been to the road to Wandao Lake countless times, and even caught a glimpse of the figure of that demon dragon twice！”
Xu Taiping didn’t answer, but asked Gu Yu seriously：
“I have a set of saber techniques here. After learning it, you can be invincible in the world.”
Xu Taiping paused and asked：
“Do you want to learn？”
