Chapter 258 Variables

As night falls, fireworks rise in the Third Medicine Valley, dazzling and beautiful.

The attic area was filled with dining tables, and thousands of people were toasting each other, creating a spectacular sight.

Gu An ignored the gaze of Nine-Fingered God and chatted with You Yingying beside him, trying to find out about Lu Lingjun's situation.

In fact, he has always been paying attention to Lu Lingjun. Lu Lingjun's Ascension Sect has been established, and it has also joined forces with the Taixuan Sect to occupy an island. It is currently busy mining spiritual mines. Generally speaking, it is developing smoothly.

You Yingying has been exchanging letters with Lu Lingjun. Letters in the world of immortals are either exchanged using spells and magic weapons, or delivered by demon pets. You Yingying comes from the Star Sea Sect and has the means of communication to connect to the ocean.

After chatting for a while, Gu An took the opportunity to leave and go to Xuan Gu to visit Xuan Gu's disciples.

It was not until late at night, after his disciples had returned to their rooms, that he came to Nianchu Cave and celebrated the festival with Tian Yaoer and the other two girls.

Unlike other people, Tian Yaoer's three daughters have no family and will follow him for the rest of their lives, so Gu An will never forget them during every festival.

While enjoying the delicious food, Gu An was also concerned about Tian Yaoer's practice.

Tian Yaoer's cultivation has now reached the sixth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, which is quite fast. She has strong natural resources, and coupled with the continuous intake of medicinal herbs and pills, her cultivation growth rate is naturally not slow.

Compared with her cultivation, Gu An was more concerned about her attainments in the Xiantian Immortal Skills and the Wuji Free Steps.

Cultivation is the main trunk, but spells and magical powers are the branches and leaves, none of which can be missing.

Tian Yaoer was still very proud of her cultivation achievements. Her nose was almost raised to the top of her head, and she was very proud.

Gu An was afraid that she would slack off, so he told her about the cultivation of An Hao and Yang Jian. He did not mention their names, only that they were two disciples.

As she listened, Tian Yaoer slowly lowered her head.

Tianqing and Tianbai sat on the left and right sides of Gu An, as if listening to a book, and exclaimed from time to time, making Tian Yaoer even more uncomfortable.

After Gu An finished speaking, Tian Yaoer curled her lips and said, "What's so great about that? I will surpass them sooner or later."

Gu An smiled and said, "You are also my disciple, why don't you just take me as your master?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Tian Yaoer stood up and said excitedly, her eyes wide open and a look of gritting her teeth. At this moment, she even looked a little demonic, no longer her usual cute appearance.

Gu An said helplessly: "Why are you so excited? No, then no, I'm too lazy to collect it!"

Tian Yaoer sat down and turned her head away.

Tian Qing covered her mouth and laughed: "The young lady doesn't want to be a disciple, she wants to be the mistress!"

When Tian Yaoer heard this, her pretty face instantly turned red, but she was not angry. Gu An noticed that she secretly gave Tian Qing a thumbs up, her action was very covert, hidden under her sleeve.

Tianbai joined in the fun and teased Tian Yaoer. Tian Yaoer shyly tried to clarify, but the situation only got worse.

Gu An watched their contrived performance and sighed inwardly.

It seems that I need to improve their acting skills in the future. They are too poor. It may not be safe to let them do things in the future.

That night, Gu An chose to spend the night here despite their strong requests.

Under the tree, Gu An leaned against the trunk with a book in his hand.

Tian Yaoer was watching Journey to the West, but her mind was entirely on him.

She looked at the mask on Gu An's face and wanted to take it off, but was afraid that Gu An would be angry.

Even though they have a very close relationship, she has always been afraid that all of this will disappear. Even if she acts like a spoiled child, she has to listen to Gu An's tone, fearing that he will be dissatisfied.

"You want to take off my mask?"

Gu An suddenly asked. When Tian Yaoer heard it, she subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when she heard his gentle tone, she couldn't help but nodded.

Hearing this, Gu An took off the mask and pressed it on Tian Yaoer's face.

Tian Yaoer quickly took off the mask, thinking that Gu An was teasing her, but when she looked closely, she found that Gu An was not wearing another mask.

Looking at Gu An's handsome face, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Because Gu An always wore a mask, she always thought the worst of it, thinking that Gu An had an ugly or scary face, but she didn't expect him to be so handsome.

The reason why Gu An was willing to take off the mask was because they had been together for so many years, and Tian Yaoer had been completely isolated from the outside world, so even if he knew his true appearance, it would not be a problem.

Of course, the most important reason is that he is strong enough. Although he is not invincible, he can at least face all the causes and effects on this continent.

"I know you've always missed my face. I'll make you happy tonight. After tonight, you have to practice harder and stop daydreaming. Now that I've accepted you, I won't abandon you. You're destined to be with me the longest. Keep your eyes on the future. Sooner or later, I'll take you out to travel and see the world, just like Taishang Laojun in Journey to the West. Even the Green Bull Demon under his command could stump Sun Wukong. I hope you can stand on your own in the future. Your strength is my face."

Gu An said this earnestly, and he meant it from the bottom of his heart.

Whether it is An Hao or Yang Jian, they will leave him sooner or later.

Ye Lan also has her own life of cultivation. Regardless of how many years she can live, no matter how you look at it, Tian Yaoer, whose maximum lifespan is 18,000 years, is the person who can accompany him the longest.

Tian Yao'er was very moved after hearing this. She nodded heavily and said, "Master, don't worry, I will never let you down, and I will train Tian Qing and Tian Bai well. I am your face, and they are my face. If they can become first-class strong men in the world, then you will definitely have more face."

Gu An was happy and said with a smile: "Just like what is written in Taixuan Immortal Venerable? In the future, if they offend someone and provoke you to take action, then force me to take action?"

Tian Yaoer said with a smile: "Yes, after beating the younger one, come the older one, you are the older one."

"Nonsense, your master will always be young."

“He does look young.”

The two opened up the topic and began to imagine the future.

Gu An was also very happy to talk. He could only talk about the future with Tian Yao'er. He couldn't talk to other people around him because they didn't know his cultivation level. Even if they knew, how could a mortal talk about the future with an immortal? It wasn't that he didn't want to, it was just that it was difficult for them to communicate with each other.

…

The next morning, Gu An arrived at the Third Medicine Valley.

As soon as he stepped off the teleportation platform, the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord came up to him and tried to pull him. He quickly stepped back and asked in a deep voice, "Senior, what do you want to do?"

Nine-Finger Divine Lord withdrew his hand, coughed, and said, "I want to play another round with you. No, best of three."

He also realized that he was a little offensive, but felt that Gu An was overreacting.

If he wanted to harm Gu An, Gu An would have no way to hide.

Little did he know that Gu An was not afraid of being harmed by him, but was afraid of shocking him to death.

In front of Daogang Yuanqi, there is no difference between Nine-Fingered God and Guo Guhong!

"Okay, come on then!"

Gu An said with a straight face, Nine Fingers Lord didn't mind and turned to lead the way.

I will kill you without a single piece of armor left today! Gu An thought to himself, Nine-Fingered Divine Lord almost cost him his life, he must teach him a lesson! After an incense stick of time.

Gu An stood up and stretched. The disciples around him noticed that Nine-Fingered God had an ugly look on his face and they dispersed one after another. For a moment, only the two of them were left under the tree.

The Nine-Fingered God looked at the chessboard with a dull look in his eyes.

He couldn't accept this fact.

In the distance, Li Lingtian stood beside Yang Jian and asked curiously, "Who is that Taoist? He seems to be quite extraordinary."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Yang Jian replied: "He is the elder of Taixuan Sect. Tell me if he is a big shot or not."

After saying that, he turned around and continued sweeping the floor.

Li Lingtian looked at the Nine-Fingered Lord and thought to himself, this elder of the Taixuan Sect must be very powerful, right? How about finding an opportunity to spar with him? Li Lingtian urgently needed a victory to build up his confidence. The other disciples in the valley were too weak to be worth mentioning, and he couldn't bypass Yang Jian to challenge Gu An, so he set his sights on the Nine-Fingered Lord.

This old man loves playing chess with mortals, so maybe he can learn from this junior as well.

Well, when the time comes, let him suppress his realm to the Jindan realm. He wants to try whether he can fight across realms.

Although he felt deeply frustrated after losing to Yang Jian, he did not think that he was not talented.

He just picked the wrong opponent!

He doesn't believe that he can make the mistake a second time?

If he can't even beat Senior Brother Gu in chess, he's definitely not as good as him in fighting! Li Lingtian thought of the wonderful thing and smiled foolishly.

Under the tree, Nine-Fingered God looked up at Gu An and asked in a deep voice: "Impossible, I shouldn't lose to you, who are you?"

He is a wandering immortal, why should he lose?

Gu An raised his head and said with a proud smile: "I am an immortal, what do you think?"

"Immortal?"

"Yes, you can call me the Chess Fairy."

"roll!"

"cut!"

Gu An turned his head and left.

Looking at his back, Nine-Fingered God gave a bitter smile.

No matter how you look at it, Gu An doesn't look like a great monk in disguise. Although his cultivation level is that of a wandering immortal, his vision is far beyond that of a wandering immortal.

He couldn't help but turn his eyes to the chessboard.

Didn't he understand Go? Even if he could deduce countless scenarios, what would that matter?

Go is all about variables.

The Nine-Fingered God frowned and fell into deep thought.

…

As spring goes and summer comes, the temperature between heaven and earth continues to rise.

On this day, Gu An took Yang Jian and Li Lingtian to Tianya Valley. He rode on the back of the Blood Hell Great Sage's cow and moved forward slowly.

Li Lingtian followed behind, listlessly.

He can obviously fly, but he insists on walking. Is Senior Brother Gu torturing him on purpose?

But seeing Yang Jian walking away without changing his expression, he could only endure it. He couldn't lose to Yang Jian in this regard.

Boom boom

There was a sound of thunder in the distance. Li Lingtian looked back and saw thunderclouds rolling in from the horizon.

Yang Jian seemed to sense something, stopped, turned around and looked, frowning.

Li Lingtian came over and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Yang Jian ignored him and turned to follow the Blood Hell Great Sage.

Li Lingtian was very hurt. Yang Jian always ignored him, which made him depressed. He knew that he was not worth mentioning in Yang Jian's eyes.

Yes, if he were Yang Jian, he would not talk too much to people with a huge gap in strength between them.

Yang Jian came to Gu An and asked, "Master, I have a very uneasy feeling. I always feel that something big is going to happen."

Gu An responded: "Maybe there really is a disaster."

Yang Jian was confused and asked, "Could it be that the Seven Star Spirit Realm still has evil intentions?"

Gu An did not answer, but instructed: "Feel it carefully, I want to know what you can feel."
