Jade Spirit.
The instant Zhang Yuan saw the old Daoist's primordial spirit, he had already recognized him.
He was most likely Jade Spirit, lord of the Jade Uncarved Spirit True Grotto-Heaven.
"Hehe, young friend, let's talk this over calmly..."
Jade Spirit looked at the cage enclosing him, his eyes filled with terror and wariness.
