Gu Xuan was born in Willow Tree Village and had been a good-for-nothing since childhood. Even at thirty, he had yet to break through to the Qi Refining stage, and he did not even have a wife. Raised by his grandfather, Gu Xuan learned just before his grandfather passed away that the Sect Master of the Profound Sword Sect owed him a favor. His grandfather told him that after he was gone, Gu Xuan could take the Profound Sword Sect token and become a servant disciple there. After taking care of his grandfather's funeral, Gu Xuan set out for the Profound Sword Sect. Just as he was about to enter, he spotted a little snake, badly injured and on the verge of death, among the flowers and grass outside the sect. Gu Xuan crushed some herbs and used them to treat the snake. To repay him for saving its life, the little snake led him into a cave, where Gu Xuan discovered its mother, the Snake King, dead. The little snake took out the Snake King's beast core and gave it to Gu Xuan. After absorbing the core, Gu Xuan successfully broke through to the Qi Refining stage. Seeing that the little snake had nowhere else to go, Gu Xuan brought it with him to join the Profound Sword Sect. From then on, the man and snake relied on each other. The little snake helped Gu Xuan kill demon beasts, growing stronger as he did. Gu Xuan soon broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, while the little snake advanced to the Snake King realm and learned to speak human language. It told Gu Xuan, “Once I break through to the Snake Sovereign realm, I’ll be able to take human form and protect you even better.” Gu Xuan teased, “Perfect, I don’t have a wife. How about you be mine?” The little snake turned bashful and embarrassed, then hid in the grass and refused to come out...
