Chapter 14 Daily Plan, Medicine Gu
Are your legs fast?
Xiaochuan, Lu Jiujia, and Ye Lan all changed their expressions slightly. They thought of Gu An at the same time, but they did not look at Gu An. They were just wondering in their hearts.
Meng Lang asked, "What do you mean? You two haven't defeated that evil spy?"
When Shi Yang heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
He took a deep breath and said, "It is true that we are inferior to them in skills. My cultivation is at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and my cousin's cultivation is at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. She can easily defeat our demon cultivators. Her cultivation is hard to estimate. If you have any clues, please tell us as soon as possible to avoid any trouble for yourself."
As soon as he revealed his cultivation level, Meng Lang, Xiaochuan and others all gasped.
Meng Lang was frightened. He quickly asked, "Since you are no match for him, why do you still dare to look for him? Why don't you ask the inner sect disciples to come?"
Shi Yang replied: "We have our own backup plan."
He became increasingly annoyed with Meng Lang. This kid really deserved a beating, and his words simply hit home.
Gu An took the opportunity to say, "If the other party is really a spy of the Demonic Path, and the two seniors were defeated so easily, that doesn't make sense. I don't think the injuries of the two seniors are serious. Would the Demonic Path be so kind?"
Shi Yang looked at him with a subtle look. He thought for a moment and replied, "It is indeed difficult to determine, but the outer and inner disciples all have their own caves. It is impossible for them to come here to break through. There must be something fishy. Do you really have no clues?"
Li Xuanyu looked at Gu An, who pretended to be nervous and did not dare to meet the eyes of the two outer disciples.
"You two, it seems that my disciples have indeed never seen any evil spies." Cheng Xuandan said, breaking the delicate atmosphere.
Shi Yang wanted to speak, but Li Xuanyu on the side spoke first: "In that case, we'll take our leave."
After saying that, she raised her hand to salute Cheng Xuandan, then turned and left.
Shi Yang could only follow her footsteps and glared at Meng Lang before leaving.
Xiaochuan turned his head to look at Gu An and was about to say something, but was stopped by Ye Lan. She put her finger in front of her mouth, made a gesture of silence, and kept giving him looks.
Cheng Xuandan didn't say much and turned to walk towards his attic.
After watching Shi Yang and the other two leave the valley, Gu An walked towards his own courtyard, and the others followed closely behind. Xiaochuan seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Gu An glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Why, do you think my leg skills are powerful enough to defeat two Foundation Establishment cultivators?"
Ogawa's face turned red and he couldn't help scratching his head.
Meng Lang laughed out loud, and said unhappily, "Your senior brother is only at the third level of Qi training, and the Canfeng Leg he practices is one of the most common leg techniques in the outer sect. How could he be the evil spy that the outer sect disciples are talking about?"
Lu Jiujia nodded. He really didn't think of Gu An as a spy from the evil sect. In his eyes, the eldest senior brother was the most gentle and kind person he had ever met.
Ye Lan was a little dissatisfied and said, "Even if it is the most ordinary leg technique, Senior Brother will be able to master it sooner or later."
The fact that Gu An had suppressed Meng Lang with his leg that day did not reach Meng Lang's ears. This was Gu An's instruction, and neither his junior brothers or sisters let it slip.
Meng Lang shook his head and laughed, then left alone. He planned to go to the woods to practice magic.
Ye Lan looked at his back, waved her fist angrily, and her little face puffed up.
"Okay, let's practice on our own and strive to enter the outer sect as soon as possible." Gu An said with a smile, then waved his hand to signal his fellow disciples to disperse.
The other side.
Above the mountains, Shi Yang and Li Xuanyu were flying side by side on their swords. Their speed was not very fast, and they glanced downwards.
"Cousin, I always feel that something is wrong in the medicine valley just now." Shi Yang said, with a cold look in his eyes.
That guy is so infuriating! Shi Yang thought of Meng Lang's ugly face, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Li Xuanyu's face was cold, and she said softly, "I think that errand disciple is right. Maybe the other party is not a spy of the demon sect at all, but just doesn't want to be recognized. The fact that you and I are alive is the best proof."
Shi Yang frowned and said, "There is such a person in the outer sect? I feel that he has at least the ninth level of the foundation building realm. And I have never seen that leg technique before. It must be some kind of unique skill. I am afraid his background is very important."
"We'll know sooner or later."
Li Xuanyu raised her eyes to the horizon, her brows furrowed as if she had thought of something.
Shi Yang also fell silent. Both of them were famous geniuses in the outer sect. He was shocked when he thought that his opponent from the previous night was also an outer sect disciple.
…
Summer was gradually approaching. The summer in Taixuan Sect was extremely hot. The whole world was twisting, and Lu Jiujia, who was turning the soil, was covered in white steam.
Gu An, who was already 21 years old, was refining medicine in the yard. There was a small tripod in front of him. He stared at the boiling potion, hesitating whether he should throw the herbs in his hand into it.
Alchemy is really a technical job!
Just when Gu An was in trouble, Meng Lang ran into the courtyard quickly and rushed into his house in a hurry. In less than ten breaths, he came out carrying a bundle.
"Gu An, I'm going to take the outer sect assessment. When I become famous, I will come back to take care of you!"
Meng Lang said this and left excitedly.
External examination?
Gu An was surprised. How could Meng Lang, who was only at the seventh level of Qi training, take part in the assessment?
If one fails to demonstrate outstanding talent when entering the sect, he or she can only enter the outer sect after successfully building the foundation.
This is Taixuan Sect, the number one sect in the Taicang Dynasty!
A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage would be worshipped in some third-rate sects, but in the Taixuan Sect he could only be an outer disciple.
Gu An looked in the direction where Meng Lang was running, and saw Cheng Xuandan coming down the stairs.
Cheng Xuandan actually wanted to take Meng Lang out of the valley with him.
Gu An felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but even if he tried to stop him now, Meng Lang would not listen. This guy had become paranoid because of his status as an outer disciple.
"Why should I care? I want to pursue immortality. If I care about this and that, how can I have peace in the future?"
When Gu An thought about this, his eyes became firm.
He continued to make the elixir, trying not to think about Meng Lang.
So, he sat in front of the small cauldron for a whole day and successfully produced a pile of medicinal residue.
He waited until late at night before he went out.
He left Medicine Valley not for Meng Lang, but for his own cultivation. Two months had passed since Shi Yang and Li Xuanyu left, and he was ready to start his daily plan.
From then on, he escaped every late night and invested one year of his life into his cultivation.
This time, investing in lifespan to improve cultivation also made quite a fuss, but fortunately it was far less than before, and it ended very quickly.
On the second day, Gu An took the opportunity to ask Ye Lan how her practice went last night. This time, Ye Lan did not hear any rumors and her practice went smoothly.
Gu An was completely relieved that the daily plan could be implemented! Days passed.
Cheng Xuandan and Meng Lang have been gone for half a month and have not returned yet. Gu An can be sure that Meng Lang is in great danger.
In the past, when Zhang Chunqiu went to the outer sect, he would come back in seven days at most and had never been delayed for so long.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Xiaochuan and the other two asked when their master would come back, and Gu An could only divert their attention and let them concentrate on their practice.
Two months later, Cheng Xuandan finally came back.
Cheng Xuandan had a head full of white hair and was not wearing a cloth hat. His appearance shocked Xiaochuan and the other two, and they all surrounded him. Gu An did the same.
"Master, I'm fine. Just take a few days to rest."
Cheng Xuandan waved his hand and said in a weak voice. He gently pushed Lu Jiujia away and walked towards his attic.
Gu An frowned.
He saw that Cheng Xuandan's cultivation had regressed to the second level of the Qi training realm, and his life span had been shortened, with only two years left.
He originally thought that Cheng Xuandan was going to plot against Meng Lang, either by taking over Meng Lang's body or turning Meng Lang into a puppet, but Cheng Xuandan looked like he was about to die.
Gu An looked at Cheng Xuandan's back and fell into deep thought.
Ye Lan thought he was worried about Cheng Xuandan, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, Master will be fine."
Gu An looked at her, smiled and nodded.
After chatting with his fellow junior brothers and sisters for a few words, Gu An left alone.
"I feel like something's wrong with Master." Lu Jiujia pulled Xiaochuan and whispered, his brows furrowed and his eyes a little sharp.
Xiaochuan nodded and said, "It's indeed wrong."
Lu Jiujia leaned close to his ear and began to speak in a low voice.
Ye Lan kept looking at Gu An's back.
…
After Cheng Xuandan came back, he stayed in the room. Gu An could feel that he was practicing martial arts to heal his injuries, but his breath was getting weaker day by day.
It was not until winter was about to begin that Cheng Xuandan finally came out of the house. He called Gu An from afar, and Gu An immediately ran over.
"Master." Gu An bowed respectfully.
Cheng Xuandan had a head full of white hair, and even his beard and eyebrows had turned white. There were even some brown spots on his face, and he looked extremely old.
"Let's go. I'll take you to the outer gate." Cheng Xuandan stroked his beard and smiled kindly.
Gu An couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do outside the gate?"
"Don't you want to be the Valley Master in the future?" Cheng Xuandan asked back.
When Gu An heard this, his heartbeat quickened, but his expression changed drastically, and he asked in panic: "Master, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me!"
Seeing him so flustered, Cheng Xuandan's eyes became softer.
"Let's go, we'll talk on the way." After saying this, Cheng Xuandan turned and walked out of the valley.
Gu An quickly said something to Xiaochuan who was closest to him, and then followed Cheng Xuandan's steps.
After walking out of the valley, Cheng Xuandan walked towards the woods. Now he could no longer fly with his sword, which meant they had to go to the outer gate.
Gu An suddenly wanted to turn back and tell Xiaochuan and the other two not to pick the herbs that were about to mature, and wait for him to come back and pick them.
The master and disciple were walking in the woods. Gu An wanted to support Cheng Xuandan, but he declined.
"The sect's salary to the Valley Master is limited. You should think carefully before recruiting menial disciples in the future. Moreover, you have to hand over a certain amount of harvest every year..." Cheng Xuandan walked in front and said casually.
Gu An seemed to be listening carefully, but he was also alert in his heart.
After all, Meng Lang’s life or death is still uncertain.
Cheng Xuandan's pace was not fast, and there were many mountains nearby, so it took them half an hour to walk a few miles.
Gu An was feeling a little overwhelmed. How long would it take to reach the outer gate?
He wanted to carry Cheng Xuandan on his back! The two crossed a stream, and Cheng Xuandan in front suddenly asked, "Why don't you ask about Meng Lang's whereabouts?"
Gu An pretended to be confused and asked, "Didn't he go to take the outer sect examination? Didn't he pass?"
"Master lied to him. He has been turned into a medicinal poison by Master."
Cheng Xuandan answered as he walked forward, seemingly unafraid of Gu An attacking from behind.
Gu An remained calm when he heard this. He carefully sensed his surroundings to make sure there was no one else around.
