When everyone learned that Hu Yuan was already a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, expressions of shock and disbelief washed over their faces. Their eyes widened and their mouths parted slightly, as if they could not believe the news they were hearing. In their eyes, Hu Yuan was merely a young man who looked to be just over twenty, yet he had already reached a height that many dreamed of and spent their entire lives struggling to attain—the Nascent Soul Stage!
The group could not help exchanging glances, secretly guessing what kind of background and strength this mysterious Hu Yuan possessed. They had originally thought they had seen all sorts of powerful figures, but at that moment they realized that compared to Hu Yuan, those so-called experts seemed to pale into insignificance.
After a moment of silence, Li Yun broke the deadlock. He took a deep breath, looked at Hu Yuan, and said, "Fellow Daoist Hu, I have heard much about you. I understand you wish to borrow our Dragon Bead. What are your plans?" His voice carried a hint of curiosity and vigilance, for the Dragon Bead was, after all, an incomparably precious treasure to them and could not be lent out casually.
