If someone were to see Shan Lingguan's actions in the Medicine King Hall at this moment, they would be extremely surprised.

Because in the three courtyards of the Medicine King Hall, there were at least two or three hundred apprentices and workers, yet when Shan Lingguan walked in, it seemed as if no one saw him at all.

This was not any Invisibility Technique, nor was it Spirit Manipulation Technique that shielded everyone in the Medicine King Hall from sensing him; it was purely Shan Lingguan's control over his own aura, which had reached an incredible level, making him almost blend into the world around him, like a part of the environment, such as flowers, grass, and trees.

With Shan Lingguan's Seventh Realm Great Martial Man cultivation, he had reached the level of 'Gang Control', using techniques to hide his breathing and presence, enveloping himself with Gang Qi and blending into the surroundings.

Not to mention that even the highly skilled Yang Luochen of the Medicine King Hall couldn't see through it at all, even a master of the Sixth Realm couldn't discern his true form, and would even feel as if he didn't exist.

Only those at the same 'realm' as him, capable of refining Gang Qi within their bodies, could sense the existence of 'Gang Qi' in the environment.

This was mainly because the previous incident of scaring away that little fellow had given him a reminder.

He planned to fully test Chen Ku's physique without revealing himself first, and then reveal his intentions to accept a disciple; if it truly was Chen Ku, with the Medicine King Hall here, the boy might avoid the monk but not the temple.

Unexpectedly, as Shan Lingguan walked into the Medicine King Hall as if no one was watching, he didn't find Chen Ku.

"Hmm? Not in the Medicine King Hall?"

Yet as he thought this.

Not far away came the voices of a few apprentices and workers in the Medicine King Hall greeting Chen Ku:

"Junior Brother Chen is back!"

"Young Shopkeeper, good day!"

...

The apprentices all referred to Chen Ku as Junior Brother, because Chen Ku was indeed only seventeen years old, and the workers, as long-term workers, could only properly call him Young Shopkeeper.

Shan Lingguan looked toward the sound, and unexpectedly saw Chen Ku in a long robe, highlighting his tall and heroic figure, with a youthful face that still showed some childishness. Yet with Shan Lingguan's sharp eyes, he could immediately see the subtle movements of air stirred by the boy's walking and stepping, as well as his eyes, reserved but filled with Divine Power:

"As expected, Qin was right, this child is born with the root bone of Divine Power, you can tell from the way he walks, deliberately holding his feet; otherwise, with tens of thousands of force, a light step would cause a deep pit. This little trick is known to all those with Divine Power, and the more Qi Power he holds underfoot, the stronger his Divine Power seems... and those reserved eyes full of brilliance show that he not only has Divine Power but also strong Spirit..."

However,

Shan Lingguan furrowed his brow, watching Chen Ku approaching his courtyard:

"Something's not right, the boy from that night was at least three inches taller, shoulders broader, why..."

As a Seventh Realm master, he would never make a mistake about a person's height and size.

Yet now, Chen Ku's height and shoulder width did not match that boy from the other night at all.

Found the wrong person??

In Shan Lingguan's eyes, there was disappointment and reluctance!

After painstakingly finding a clue, only to still not find the Triple Spirit Body inheritor... how could one not feel defeated.

But,

Just as Shan Lingguan's heart was dimmed.

Chen Ku walked into his own courtyard, none the wiser. Although it wasn't large, he had thought about moving back to his big courtyard, but his master insisted that the Fish and Dragon Association hadn't been completely eradicated, fearing changes, and forced him to stay in the hall...

The small courtyard, two sleeping rooms, a kitchen, and a well, that was everything.

Usually, the Medicine King Hall would send 'small stove' meal boxes to the small courtyard, saving sister-in-law from having to cook, but Hu Zi sometimes liked to eat food from the village, so sister-in-law had to cook for her son.

At this time, sister-in-law was busy in the kitchen, and Hu Zi was playing outside.

Chen Ku hadn't felt anything amiss.

Yet as Shan Lingguan's heart wavered, thinking he'd found the wrong person again, his aura stirred Gang Qi, causing a slight disturbance, and a wisp of scent leaked out...

Originally, with Shan Lingguan's Seventh Realm Great Martial Man cultivation, even if the aura leaked, unless someone refined Gang Qi, they wouldn't be able to perceive it...

But Chen Ku couldn't be restricted by this rule; although he couldn't perceive the fluctuation of Gang Qi, he completely captured the scent inadvertently released by Shan Lingguan's stirring aura!

Immediately!

Chen Ku's face was greatly shocked, looking in disbelief towards a spot.

Shan Lingguan was still shaking his head in disappointment.

Yet suddenly, he saw that Chen Ku was staring directly at his position, showing shock.

Their eyes met.

Shan Lingguan was stunned:

"What, he saw me??"

His method of concealing aura and hidden presence ensured that even if he stood before a Sixth Realm master, he wouldn't be seen, which was a technique he had honed over nearly two hundred years.

To test it, Shan Lingguan shifted his position on the spot.

Just as expected.

Chen Ku continued to stare at the location where the scent had leaked, without following his body movement with his gaze, which made Shan Lingguan even more amazed:

"Huh? Was it my heart's disturbance just now that he captured the aura? It shouldn't be! This boy's aura is merely of the Third Realm! How could it be..."
