Mu Nan was eating when he noticed that Gu Shen, who was sitting across from him, had a restrained spiritual force.

He was dumbfounded, "This guy is eating...and he actually started cultivating?"

"Is this the reason why he can become a grade A?" Gong Zi sized up Gu Shen with interest.

The hot pot was steaming.

A small flame flickered slowly on Gu Shen's forehead. Gong Zi narrowed his eyes, trying to discern the extraordinary aspects of the rumored "Spring's Breath"... but all he could feel from Gu Shen's breathing rhythm was peace.

Perhaps it was because this breathing technique had not yet fully become a habit for Gu Shen.

The Five Great Families actually all had their own "breathing techniques" and extraordinary cultivation secrets. The Spring's Breath was certainly an excellent method for spiritual cultivation, but there were too few people who could simultaneously comprehend the Jingzhe and Guyu scrolls.

"It's different from the aura I felt on Bai Xiu."

Gong Zi said in a low voice, "Very restrained, almost non-existent."

"It is indeed very strange... like an ordinary person who has never begun extraordinary cultivation." Mu Nan also stared intently, unable to see anything amiss. He suddenly asked, "Could it be that Little Gu has been hiding his strength all along?"

The next moment.

Gu Shen suddenly opened his eyes.

Gong Zi, who had just wanted to say something, stopped awkwardly.

Although his mind had sunk and arrived at the "001" train space.

He could actually hear the two people whispering in the real world.

"Sorry... I just had an epiphany, so I distracted myself to cultivate the breathing technique for a moment." He smiled, picked up his chopsticks again, and said, "By the way, the beef here is really delicious."

Gong Zi laughed heartily, "Just now, Nan Gua and I were still surprised... thinking that Brother Gu was really too diligent."

He was a straightforward person, and asked directly and generously, "But you are practicing both the Jingzhe and Guyu scrolls, so why haven't we sensed any anomalies in your extraordinary aura?"

Gu Shen asked calmly, with a smile, "Oh... what kind of anomalies should there be?"

"Bai Xiu of the Bai family has also cultivated these two scrolls of the breathing technique." Mu Nan recalled as he said softly, "And he is known as the most perfect adapter of 'Spring's Breath.' But the aura he exudes after cultivation is completely different from yours."

"That's a very domineering aura."

"...You can feel it from a long distance. Bai Xiu's aura is like a mountain and a sea, almost overwhelming."

"As for you..."

Mu Nan smiled bitterly and said, "You are very restrained, like a small wave."

It was hard to say who was stronger.

But it always felt... that Bai Xiu was more powerful?

Hearing this, Gu Shen vaguely guessed the reason.

The original scroll of the breathing technique cultivated by Bai Xiu should have followed Gu Changzhi's spiritual guidance... He walked the path that Gu Changzhi had walked, and after this monstrous figure perfectly replicated the breathing technique, he almost inherited all of Gu Changzhi's extraordinary aura.

Recalling the shadow of Gu Changzhi sitting high on the divine throne in the golden divine domain.

Listening to Mu Nan's description... Bai Xiu's domineering aura was somewhat similar to Gu Changzhi's style.

"There are no two identical flowers in this world."

Gu Shen thought for a moment and said, "And the cultivation of spiritual breathing techniques is the same... Even if everyone uses the same breathing technique, it is impossible to create two identical transcendents. Bai Xiu and I are walking different paths."

"I once heard the Bai family say that after comprehending the Spring's Breath, a wilderness will appear in the spiritual world." Mu Nan smiled and said, "This is the 'blessing' that Mr. Gu Changzhi left for future generations. Cultivating spiritual power in that wilderness can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

It seems that as long as the two scrolls of the breathing technique are merged, the "Four Seasons Wilderness" can be cultivated...

Gu Shen nodded and said, "That's right."

However, he did not say that his "wilderness" was different from others.

"Transcendent beings within the Three Schools system, unless they are extremely talented geniuses, must be allowed to comprehend one scroll of the Spring's Breath at the second stage at the earliest, and only when they reach the third stage and their spiritual power is still abundant are they allowed to comprehend the second scroll." Gong Zi picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and said lightly, "This is not only because the Spring's Breath is too difficult to cultivate, but also because of this 'wilderness.'"

Transcendent beings need to condense their own "domain."

And the Four Seasons Wilderness is a ready-made "domain"!

"Transcendent beings in the third stage already have the prototype of a domain, and their own origins are quite solid and will not be easily shaken." Gong Zi looked at Gu Shen and said meaningfully, "But before that..."

Comprehending the Spring's Breath and trying to cultivate the spiritual wilderness is very likely to suffer backlash and will affect the condensation of one's own domain.

"Even Bai Xiu only comprehended the second scroll and completely cultivated the 'Spring's Breath' when he was on the sixth level of the Deep Water Zone, had already had his own domain prototype, and could break through to the next level at any time."

He slowly asked, "When you comprehended the Spring's Breath, did you not feel even a little bit... uncomfortable?"

Back then, Gu Shen broke through in the dojo.

He and Mu Nan watched the whole process with "Reflecting Snow."

Gu Shen only smiled.

And this smile... was already the answer.

"Alright..."

Gong Zi could only sigh in his heart that the aptitudes of people could not be generalized. The guy in front of him was definitely a monstrous youth. At the fourth level of the Deep Water Zone, he comprehended the Spring's Breath as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. It seemed that condensing the domain later was not a difficult task.

Gong Zi continued to ask, "But what's going on with the black spiritual radiance...?"

"I don't know either."

Gu Shen sighed and said with a wry smile, "I want to know what's going on more than you do."

If these two young masters invited him to a restaurant just to ask these questions... then they were probably going to be disappointed.

He was the one who really knew nothing.

Gong Zi saw that there was no deception in Gu Shen's eyes.

He shook his head and stopped dwelling on these unanswered questions.

"Presumably, Brother Gu also knows that today's meal... is not just a meal."

Gong Zi revealed his cards. His attitude was sincere. He propped his elbows on the table, glanced slightly out the window, and said in a deep voice, "In the beginning, I said that I am the eldest son of the Gong family, the heir of the Five Great Families. In Chang'an, I will definitely receive a lot of attention and attention... The news that we are meeting and having dinner tonight will not be able to hide from the [Wind Eyes], and it will spread on the Deep Water Forum tomorrow."

"The Gu, Bai, Gong, Mu, and Li families, these Five Great Families, on the surface, except for the Gu family, which is firmly in first place, the other four families are on an equal footing. They seem to be at peace, but in reality, the four families are always fighting and competing, and none of them are willing to show weakness."

Gong Zi stared at Gu Shen and said, "Today you beat Shen Li, provoked the prison, and that crazy woman from the Bai family who is covered in thorns... you will definitely encounter a lot of trouble in the future."

Gu Shen listened quietly.

"If you want less trouble..." Gong Zi extended his hand again and said sincerely, "Perhaps the Gong family can help you."
