Chapter 333 Earthly Spirit
Gu An put down the Qingtian Peak in his hand, and after finishing his conversation with the old man in black, he felt calm.
In this situation where the threat is not serious, he will naturally not run away, and will only protect himself when he is powerless.
Moreover, there is a time difference between the high realm and the low realm. Ten or a hundred years may seem very long to creatures in the low realm, but in the eyes of immortal creatures, it is just a blink of an eye.
Anyway, the old man in black can't run away, so let's keep him for now and see how he realizes it.
Gu An raised his hand and took the paper from the air. He was going to write another secret book.
The sun sets and the moon rises.
Time keeps turning with days as pages.
The winter snow finally arrived. Before the sky and earth became covered in white, Gu An came to the wooden fence to enjoy the sight of the falling snow.
After standing for a while, Ji Xiaoyu came over and stood side by side with him.
Ji Xiaoyu did not look up at the sky, but instead fixed his gaze on An Xin in the distance.
An Xin was holding the fat white rat, her little mouth opening and closing all the time, obviously saying something to the rat.
"She's making rapid progress." Ji Xiaoyu said softly.
How can it not be fast?
Whenever Gu An is free, he helps An Xin to practice Taoism. Although the maximum lifespan does not increase quickly, it allows An Xin to practice more effectively.
He really intended to cultivate An Xin to surpass An Hao and Yang Jian.
"It's okay. Her cultivation is increasing very slowly." Gu An said. Because of the Innate Reincarnation Technique, An Xin's cultivation has been suppressed. Even if she releases her cultivation in the future, it will be hidden, and her surface cultivation is controlled at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
It seems that An Xin will have to restrain herself from now on, as more and more people are noticing her changes.
"The Ji family recently discovered a secret underwater realm and invited me to go there. I can bring your apprentice with me. How about that?" Ji Xiaoyu asked.
When Gu An heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "An Xin is timid, there is no need to bring her."
"With me here, nothing will happen to her."
"That's not necessary. I don't want to drag you down."
"Yeah?"
"Um."
"I just feel that her understanding is improving. Staying in Medicine Valley might bury her talent."
"I don't like to hear that. Am I going to delay her?"
Gu An glared at Ji Xiaoyu. He did so on purpose to make Ji Xiaoyu believe that there was someone else behind the scenes teaching An Xin.
Ji Xiaoyu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, I won't invite her. I want to see what you can teach her to be like."
Gu An smiled and said, "When are you leaving? How long will you be gone?"
This was not the first time Ji Xiaoyu went out, but Gu An felt that something was going to happen in that secret underwater realm again.
Perhaps this is what it means to be a person of great luck. Despite constant hardships, he always survives and turns danger into safety.
"We will set off early tomorrow morning. Right now the aristocratic families are competing fiercely for resources at sea..." Ji Xiaoyu began to talk about the situation at sea.
Although the ocean is vast and the resource-rich areas have long been divided up by various powers, it is difficult to gain a foothold on the sea. The Ji family wants to occupy an area that belongs to them and take root and develop.
The secret ocean realm is the reason why there is abundant spiritual energy nearby. Immortal beings look down on this secret realm, but those in the Xuanxin realm will fight for it until their heads are broken and their blood is shed.
She talked about the Ji family and other major events at sea, and Gu An listened with great interest.
As he spoke, a powerful divine consciousness swept across Taicang Continent.
Gu An was already used to it and thought that the other party should be looking for Yang Jian.
Yang Jian awakened his past life memories, which alarmed many monks in the Holy Court, and the Holy Court is still searching for him.
Yang Jian did not run around, but concentrated on practicing on the island.
“Only those at the immortal realm have the power to protect themselves on the sea. But even if you have achieved Nirvana, you still have to be extremely careful when walking on the ocean.” Ji Xiaoyu sighed. The higher her cultivation level, the more she felt, and the experiences in her dreams from her previous life also made her more awed.
Gu An smiled and said, "With your talent, you will achieve Nirvana sooner or later."
Not to mention the sea, there is now a fairy from heaven and earth sweeping the continent with her divine consciousness.
Ordinary people are completely unaware of this.
"What about you?" Ji Xiaoyu looked at Gu An and asked calmly.
"Nirvana? I'm afraid I don't have a chance."
Gu An shook his head and laughed, a carefree laugh.
Ji Xiaoyu did not comfort him. She also knew that Nirvana was a level of difficulty for mortals to break through their fate, and no one else could help.
She followed Gu An and looked up at the falling snow.
The snow started to fall heavily.
…
On the vast ocean, Li Ya sat on the back of a black eagle. The black eagle flapped its wings and flew fast. The sea breeze blew Li Ya's long hair, but his eyes were fixed on the front without blinking.
The mysterious fairy stood on Li Ya's shoulder, tilted his head and asked, "Have you really thought it through? It will be difficult to get through the sea ahead without using my power. I can feel the strong demonic energy ahead, and there may be a great fairy demon hiding there."
Li Ya had no expression on his face and said softly, "Save me when I'm about to die."
Ever since he learned in the magical world last time that the Shenyi City belonged to the ancestor, Li Ya's pride was shattered.
He did not blame the ancestor, but became more grateful to him. However, he was full of resentment towards himself.
Li Ya, Li Ya, what have you been crazy about these years? He has always needed the ancestor and the help of others. Without the Divine City, what would he be? After Li Ya returned to the Xinghai Group, he practiced in seclusion and thought about this question at the same time.
The retreat lasted for many years.
He has now thought it through. What he needs to do is to improve his physical qualifications and understanding. An Hao can cultivate an ancient treasure body, so why can't he? So, he embarked on the road of pursuing a treasure body.
He learned from an old senior that a precious body had fallen in a certain sea area, and perhaps the opportunity to find a precious body was left behind.
"Li Ya, actually you are still young, you are already powerful enough." The magical fairy scratched his head and spoke to comfort him.
After getting along with Li Ya for many years, it still likes Li Ya very much and doesn't want him to go to extremes.
"Don't worry, I will do what I can to avoid asking the ancestor to take action again." Li Ya said calmly, his eyes became determined.
Following his gaze, black clouds appeared at the end of the sea level. Although they were small, they were clearly an ominous sign.
At the same time, on the mountain road of Renjian Peak and Dingtian Peak.
Gu An rode on the Blood Hell Great Sage and walked in front of him with peace of mind, looking back from time to time, talking and laughing.

The sea breeze blew, ruffling Gu An's hair. He withdrew his gaze from Li Ya, looked at An Xin, and said, "How many herbs did you remember today?"
Eight years have passed since Ji Xiaoyu went to the secret underwater realm.
She had not returned for eight years. Fortunately, Gu An saw that she was not in despair, so he let her face the disaster on her own.
During these eight years, Gu An did not teach An Xin any other spells or magical powers. Apart from practicing Qi training, she practiced the Time Steps on a daily basis.
An Xin, who was wearing a mask, turned around and said, "Master, don't worry, I remember everything."
"Well, I'll compile it into a book after I go back, so that other disciples can gain more knowledge." Gu An nodded.
An Xin was about to respond when two figures dropped from the sky and landed on the stone steps in front.
As soon as she saw these two people, An Xin suddenly became nervous.
The visitors were none other than Yongnian Daojun and Fu Shenxiu from the main peak.
An Xin thought they were here to ask for the immortal treasure.
Taoist Yongnian raised his hand to salute and said, "I wonder if you have time. My master and I have something to ask of you."
After hearing this, Gu An said, "Just tell me, what's the matter?"
Taoist Yongnian glanced at Fu Shenxiu and said, "Because Qingtian Peak is not meant for my disciple, I have found another great opportunity for him. It is located in the Thunder Sea Monster Territory. It is a treasure left by a great ancient being. It is called the Earth Origin Spirit. Every 100,000 years, a spirit condenses, and the place where it appears is not fixed, but it can be confirmed that it only appears in the Thunder Sea Monster Territory..."
The divine soul of the earth!
This was the first time Gu An heard about this thing and became interested in it.
According to Taoist Yongnian, the ancient great man had an unfathomable level of cultivation. Before he passed away, he used some great magical power to refine his immortal treasure, which sank into the Thunder Sea Demon Realm, merged with the ocean, and could not be found anywhere.
It was not until later that someone accidentally obtained the Di Yuan spirit that the veil of this opportunity was unveiled.
The Divine Soul of the Earth can strengthen the soul of a cultivator, and even monsters desire to obtain it.
Later, the Holy Court took over the Thunder Sea Monster Territory, and a certain saint issued an order that the Thunder Sea Monster Territory became an ownerless land and no sect was allowed to occupy it. As for the local spirits, each one relied on their own strength.
Renjian Peak had also tried to look for the Diyuan Spirit, but either they were not destined to find it, or they found the Diyuan Spirit but did not have the strength to fight for it.
Taoist Master Yongnian heard that strange phenomena occurred in the Thunder Sea Monster Territory, which might be the birth of the Earth Origin Spirit, so he thought of Gu An.
"Fellow Daoist Meng, if you can help me, I will be very grateful." Taoist Yongnian said seriously. He believed that Gu An had surpassed the Free and Easy Yuan Immortal Realm. If such a great cultivator took action, it would be a piece of cake to snatch the Earth Yuan Spirit.
Gu An pretended to be hesitant and asked, "Will this matter offend other sects?"
Taoist Yongnian replied, "Treasures belong to those who are capable, right? I heard that you like to grow medicinal herbs. I would like to transplant a batch of immortal herbs from the main peak to Dingtian Peak. How do you think?"
"You are too polite, my friend. I have already said that if something happens at Renjian Peak, I will take action. When will I leave?"
Gu An said this seriously, and Taoist Yongnian smiled when he heard it.
The corner of Fu Shenxiu's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. Qingtian Peak was taken away by Gu An. It was impossible to say that he had no complaints in his heart. He could only maintain courtesy now.
"How about three days later?" asked Taoist Yongnian.
"No problem, then we'll set off in three days." Gu An nodded.
Taoist Yongnian thanked him again and left with Fu Shenxiu.
An Xin looked back at Gu An, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Gu An glanced at her and asked casually, "Want to go take a look?"
An Xin subconsciously wanted to nod, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid of causing trouble for you, so I'd better not go."
"I can take you there..."
"really?"
There was a look of surprise in Anxin's eyes.
Gu An replied: "After you go there, you must practice the footwork I taught you carefully and don't be lazy."
After hearing this, An Xin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
The Step of Time is truly exquisite. Even after practicing it for so many years, she still feels very uncomfortable every time she performs this step. Therefore, usually when Gu An doesn't urge her, she would rather absorb the energy.
