He had spent tens of thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones to buy this Heaven-Measuring Pearl. Fortunately, the pearl could be used repeatedly, and after Gu Huan was tested, it could be exchanged with the Family to recover some Spirit Stones.
Gu Shan had once told Gu Wanhao about Fang Yurong's improved health when she was pregnant with Gu Huan. After consulting many ancient texts, Gu Wanhao speculated that it might be because the child within Fang Yurong had a Spiritual Body, and the Spiritual Body nourished Fang Yurong, which was why her health improved.
Therefore, Gu Wanhao specifically prepared this Heaven-Measuring Pearl to test whether Gu Huan had a Spiritual Body.
Gu Huan carefully held the Heaven-Measuring Pearl in his hand. From a young age, he had heard his father and mother talk about things like "Spiritual Root," so he only knew that a Spiritual Root was very important, but he didn't quite understand what a Spiritual Body was. However, seeing how much importance Gu Wanhao placed on it, he also became nervous.
The moment Gu Huan held the Heaven-Measuring Pearl, it glowed brightly!
Gu Huan couldn't help but close his eyes, and Gu Wanhao burst into laughter.
"Heaven prospers my Gu Family!"
"Huan'er! Your immortal Path will go further than your grandfather's! Perhaps you can leave Qingzhou! Perhaps even leave the Eastern Desolation!"
Gu Wanhao lifted Gu Huan up, laughing even happier than when he successfully achieved Foundation Establishment!
Seeing his grandfather so happy, Gu Huan also smiled.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Gu Wanhao finally stopped laughing, but a smile still lingered on his face.
"Grandfather, why did you send Father and Mother away?"
"If Father and Mother knew I had that 'Spiritual Body' or whatever, they would be very happy too, right!"
Gu Huan propped up his small face, acting mature, and asked.
"Huan'er, do you think Grandfather is amazing?"
Gu Wanhao asked in return.
"Grandfather is the most amazing!"
Gu Huan answered without hesitation.
In Gu Huan's eyes, Gu Wanhao, who could ride the wind and fly around, was the most amazing person in this world!
"However, there are many people as amazing as Grandfather, and some are even more amazing than Grandfather.
If Huan'er's parents knew Huan'er had a Spiritual Body and accidentally revealed it to others, then Huan'er, Huan'er's parents, Grandfather, and other members of the Gu Family would all face danger. Does Huan'er understand?"
Gu Wanhao patiently explained without the slightest impatience. In the eyes of Cultivators, Mortals are vulnerable.
Even if Gu Shan and his wife were Innate masters, one in ten thousand in the Mortal world, no matter how strong a Martial Forest master was, they were still pitifully weak when facing Cultivators.
Not letting Gu Shan and his wife know too much was also a form of protection for them.
Of course, it was also protection for Gu Huan and the entire Gu Family.
"Huan'er understands. Huan'er will not mention this to others in the future either."
Gu Huan said seriously.
"Huan'er is so smart."
Gu Wanhao was immensely pleased.
"This is Huan'er's birthday gift."
Gu Wanhao took out a jade pendant. Gu Huan took the jade pendant and immediately put it on with joy.
Grandfather's things were indeed the best. This jade pendant's jade was naturally formed and its luster was restrained, truly a rare and good jade.
That evening, the Gu Wanhao Family enjoyed a reunion dinner together. The ingredients Gu Wanhao provided were not of High Grade, so Mortals could also eat some.
Midway through the feast, Gu Shan suddenly remembered something about Gu Huan.
"Father, Huan'er has been having strange dreams off and on for the past six months;
Huan'er is young and can't explain clearly, but he says that in his dreams, he seems to turn into another person in another world.
We also invited a doctor, and the doctor said Huan'er's body was unharmed.
These dreams have not affected Huan'er, so we did not send anyone to report to Father. Father is knowledgeable; I wonder if this matter will hinder Huan'er's Path?"
Gu Wanhao stroked his beard,
"You don't need to worry.
I checked Huan'er's body and Divine Soul when I tested his Spiritual Root before, and he has no abnormalities whatsoever.
As for those strange dreams, I once read in an ancient text that in ancient times, great powers could Reincarnate with memories.
In the past tens of millions of years, Cultivators have also occasionally dreamt of becoming others and living in another realm, or suddenly gained some memories that did not belong to them, but these are harmless to people."
Only then did Gu Shan and his wife feel at ease.
At night, Gu Huan sat in his room, playing with a piece of brocade cloth the size of a handkerchief.
"A green dot marker, a Rank One High Grade defensive Magical Artifact. What does this mean?"
Gu Huan looked at the text on the brocade cloth. It was the first time he had seen words appear on the brocade cloth.
"I've heard Grandfather mention Magical Artifacts; they are weapons used by Cultivators. Rank One High Grade, could that be the Rank of the weapon?" The young boy guessed.
"Young master, it's already the third quarter of Hai Shi. Madam instructed you to get good rest these past few days."
The young servant on night duty outside the door said with a bitter face through the door.
"Got it, Fugui, you may withdraw!" The young boy pouted, somewhat unwillingly.
With a thought, the brocade cloth in his hand vanished into thin air, hidden somewhere unknown.
He had been having strange dreams these past few days, dreaming of another him in a very strange world. In the dream, that him had a magical brocade cloth that could identify the names of items within a certain range.
It was just that Gu Huan in the dream had bad luck, betrayed by his friend, and in the end, both Gu Huan and his friend met a tragic end.
One time, after Gu Huan woke up from the dream, he found himself holding something in his hand. Upon closer inspection, it was precisely the brocade cloth that had appeared in his dream!
Fortunately, Gu Huan had been bold since childhood, so he wasn't scared.
Instead, he became interested in the brocade cloth.
After studying it for a long time without finding anything strange, Gu Huan didn't tell his parents about it.
He did, however, find the dream interesting and told his mother, Fang Yurong, about it.
But before this, the brocade cloth had nothing special about it other than being able to be summoned and put away at will; it was just a beautiful piece of cloth.
But today, a small line of text suddenly appeared on it, which surprised him a little.
Could this brocade cloth be a treasure used by Cultivators?
Gu Huan guessed.
He blew out the lamp and tossed and turned in bed.
Should I go ask Grandfather?
No, forget it. Father and Mother always say Grandfather is very busy. I shouldn't bother Grandfather with such a small matter.
Although Gu Huan was occasionally mischievous, he was actually exceptionally sensible.
Gu Wanhao stayed at the Gu Residence for three days, then prepared to take Gu Huan back to Bifeng Mountain.
This was a Family rule: to avoid losses, children detected with a Spiritual Root had to be brought back to the Family's Main Peak for instruction. One reason was for protection, and the other was to make their future immortal Path smoother.
Gu Shan and his wife were naturally extremely reluctant. Fang Yurong even secretly wiped away tears. This was her flesh and blood, raised by her side since childhood, and now he was leaving. She was naturally sad, but she also understood that Gu Huan going to Bifeng Mountain with Gu Wanhao was the Righteous Path.
"Huan'er, after you go to Bifeng Mountain, you must listen to Grandfather, and you must cultivate diligently to protect the Gu Family in the future.
Most importantly, since your parents won't be by your side anymore, Huan'er must pay attention to his own safety and get along well with the other members of the Gu Family. Does Huan'er understand?"
As Fang Yurong spoke, her tears flowed even more uncontrollably.
"Huan'er understands! Mother, don't cry. Huan'er will come back to see you often in the future!"
Gu Huan stood on his tiptoes to wipe away Fang Yurong's tears. Fang Yurong forced back her tears.
"Good child, go with your grandfather!"
