Chapter 45 You should take me as your teacher
Gu An looked back and saw Li Ya’s childhood friend Zuo Lin walking towards him.
After not seeing each other for many years, Zuo Lin’s cultivation has only reached the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he is probably still obsessed with practicing swordsmanship.
Gu An turned around and saluted him, saying, "The family called me to do something, so I came."
"You have a family? Aren't you a servant?" Zuo Lin asked curiously.
Gu An replied: "I am indeed a servant of the Ji family. Our Third Miss is about to hold a banquet, and I and other servants are here to help."
"What? You are from the Ji family?" Zuo Lin widened his eyes.
Gu An asked back: "Didn't Senior Brother Li tell you?"
Zuo Lin shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything. What a coincidence! My father was also invited by the Ji family, so I came along to join in the fun. Isn't the Ji Mansion behind? Where are you going?"
He has always been interested in Gu An and always felt that Gu An was extraordinary, so when he finally met her, he didn't want to miss it.
"I plan to take a stroll around the inner city."
"Then I'll accompany you. Although I'm not an inner disciple, I've come here quite often because of my father's influence." Zuo Lin said enthusiastically, and Gu An did not refuse.
The two chatted as they moved forward.
Zuo Lin talked about his father, and through his words, Gu An had a deeper understanding of the class structure of Taixuan Sect.
Generally speaking, disciples will move to higher positions when they reach a certain level, but some people will pursue the path of power. Zuo Yijian was one of them. He entered the Elders' Hall.
Unlike other halls, the Elders' Hall is the power center of a city. The threshold to the Outer Elders' Hall is the Jindan Realm, while the threshold to the Inner Elders' Hall is the Huashen Realm.
The Elder Hall has absolute power in every city. It is said that in the main city of the sect, the Elder Hall has even greater power and can even decide the position of the sect leader. Therefore, some Nascent Soul Realm cultivators will choose to stay in the outer sect as elders and continue to make profits for themselves.
When Zuo Yijian came to the inner gate, he was not yet able to join the Elders' Hall, but he became the head of the inner gate's library and received a good salary.
"It's all Fei Ye Sword Immortal's fault. My father has gone crazy. Now he reads Investiture of the Gods all day long and doesn't practice sword at all." Zuo Lin said indignantly.
Gu An asked, "Do you think Investiture of the Gods is not good?"
“That’s indeed very interesting. Let me tell you, I like Yang Jian the most. How come he isn’t a swordsman…” Zuo Lin became more talkative when he started talking about The Investiture of the Gods.
Gu An secretly sighed, it seems that he still underestimated the impact of The Investiture of the Gods on the world of immortal cultivation.
Listening to Zuo Lin praising Pan An, Gu An felt secretly happy at first, but he became bored after listening for a long time. After all, he was not the real author, and he wrote the book mainly to earn spirit stones.
Afterwards, Gu An asked Zuo Lin to take him to the Sutra Repository.
The biggest difference between the Sutra Repository and the Book Repository is that the Sutra Repository is filled with skills and spells.
On the way, Gu An asked if there was any Five Elements Kung Fu, but was despised by Zuo Lin.
In the world of cultivating immortals, techniques are basically used to cultivate a single attribute, even if one has multiple spiritual roots, unless one wants to cultivate from scratch.
Even though the realm is maintained when re-cultivating the skills, the process of accumulating spiritual power again is enough to make most cultivators collapse.
Cultivating immortals is not like practicing martial arts. It requires years of accumulation. No one wants to walk the path of decades or hundreds of years again, let alone those old monsters who have practiced for thousands of years. They will only grit their teeth and move forward, studying one path in depth. It is precisely because of this that the path of cultivating immortals has flourished.
When he arrived at the Sutra Library, Gu An did not find the Five Elements Kung Fu, but he still bought the basic Kung Fu of the other four attributes, buying the cheapest one, anyway, he could spend money to improve it.
Spiritual stones should be used mainly to purchase seeds!
Zuo Lin was puzzled as to why he bought skills of different attributes, and he replied that he bought them for his disciples, which made Zuo Lin respect him.
Back in Xuan Valley, Zuo Lin could feel his attitude towards the menial disciples.
Gu An not only tries to please Li Ya, who comes from a royal family, but is also very nice to people of lower status. Perhaps Li Ya is right, he is really a good person.
Zuo Lin thought so as he looked at Gu An's profile.
"Brother Zuo, can you take me to see the formation?" Gu An asked with a smile.
When Zuo Lin heard this, he agreed immediately.
The result made Gu An a little disappointed.
There are indeed teleportation arrays, but they are all priced sky-high and he simply can’t afford them!
He could only think about it another day. Although he was a cultivator in the Void Crossing Realm, it was not easy to rob him by force.
After arriving at the inner gate, Gu An felt that the Taixuan Sect must be hiding an old monster in the Duxu Realm. After all, the threshold to become an inner gate elder is the Shenhua Realm, and above that is the sect’s main city.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Taixuan Sect is indeed powerful. So many cultivators of the Demonic Path died in the outer sect that the Demonic Path did not dare to launch an attack on Taixuan Sect. Moreover, spies in the Jindan realm like Jiang Qiong only dared to operate outside the outer sect.
If Taixuanmen was a big map, Gu An would only be active in a small corner.
It was not until the evening that Gu An said goodbye to Zuo Lin and returned to the gate of Ji Mansion. Du Ye was still waiting there, which made him feel a little touched.
"Why did you come back just now? You can't get in without me!" Du Ye complained.
Gu An smiled and patted his shoulder. He didn't say much, and the two of them walked into Ji Mansion.
As soon as he came in, Gu An felt many auras. It turned out that Ji Mansion also had isolation restrictions. He even caught the aura of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Along the way, he threw life span probes at everyone he met.
There are many people in the Ji Mansion, and many of them are geniuses.
Although Ji Xiaoyu only brought five people into the Taixuan Sect, the Ji family has more than one branch, and every year there are disciples who flock to various sects.
After an incense stick of time, Du Ye brought Gu An to meet Ji Lin, the genius who was famous in the outer sect.
[Ji Lin (9th level of Foundation Establishment): 36/330/900]
Thirty-six years old, ninth level of foundation building, very strong! He must have taken a lot of pills.
Gu An looked at Ji Lin and thought so, then he took out the herbs he had prepared in advance.
Ji Lin was not an arrogant person and his attitude towards Gu An was quite nice. He made a lot of promises to Gu An, and Gu An pretended to be excited, which made the meeting a success.
Afterwards, Du Ye took Gu An to find a place to live. The two of them lived in the same yard, but fortunately each of them had a room.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next morning, just after dawn, Gu An was dragged out of the hospital by Du Ye.
The two men came to the gate and waited. Not only them, but there were also more than a dozen monks guarding. Under the arrangement of the leader, they stood in two rows, ready to welcome the guests of today's banquet.
Half an hour later, guests began to arrive.
The first one is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage!
After the man entered the mansion, Gu An heard other servants talking about how the man was from the Inner Gate Law Enforcement Hall and had considerable power.
As time went by, more and more guests came. The weakest person leading each wave was at the Nascent Soul stage, and a large proportion of those at the Spirit Transformation stage were also at this stage.
No wonder Li Xuandao had to hide his cultivation level. Although the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm was powerful, it was still far from being invincible.
The arrival of a person made Gu An look twice. This person was Fu Xiong's master, named Luo Xunye. When Gu An searched Fu Xiong's soul, he memorized his face.
[Luo Xunye (Nascent Soul Realm Level 9): 254/804/1300]
A 250-year-old man at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm could be considered a genius.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The Ji family of the consul in front of the mansion obviously had a good relationship with Luo Xunye, and the two of them exchanged greetings for a while.
Who would have thought that this person was a demon cultivator?
Gu An thought silently. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word. He just stood there, feeling quite relaxed.
About half an hour later, Gu An saw another Qianqiu Pavilion spy.
Jiang Qiong!
[Jiang Qiong (Nascent Soul Stage 1): 192/700/2490]
After not seeing her for seven years, she managed to overcome the tribulation so quickly!
Jiang Qiong was wearing the robe of an inner sect disciple and had a cold look on her face. She was not as frivolous as she was when facing Gu An. She just glanced at Gu An and the two of them did not communicate at all until she walked into Ji's mansion.
"Why is she here? It shouldn't be just to celebrate, right?" Gu An thought in confusion.
Is Jiang Qiong going to plot against the Ji family?
"Pan..."
Suddenly, a voice full of surprise attracted Gu An's attention, and he saw Gu Yu, whom he had met once in the outer gate library, walking towards him quickly.
Behind Gu Yu was a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes. He had an extraordinary aura, but his breath was weak. It was obvious that he had practiced some method to restrain his breath.
Gu An subconsciously threw out a lifespan probe.
[Ancient Sect (Second Level of Crossing Void Realm): 690/1805/2800]
Wow! A person who has reached the realm of transcendence! The Taixuan Sect really has a person who has reached the realm of transcendence! This person's surname is also Gu, and he is obviously related to Gu Yu by blood. He had always thought that Gu Yu was not simple.
"Gu An, are you a member of the Ji family?" Gu Yu came to Gu An and asked excitedly.
Gu An nodded and said, "I'm just a servant."
"With your talent, why would you want to be a servant? I'll ask my father to recruit you into the inner sect!" Gu Yu said with great pride, causing the Ji family members around him to look at him sideways.
Gu Yu turned to Gu Zong and said, "Father, he is the man I often mentioned. Take him under your wing!"
The cultivators following behind Gu Zong were all in the Nascent Soul Stage and the Spirit Transformation Stage. Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, they all looked at Gu An curiously.
Oops!
How did it fall into this kid's hands?
Gu An cursed inwardly.
Gu Zong frowned and said, "How can you behave in public?"
Gu An breathed a sigh of relief. The great monks were different. They knew that the rules should not be broken in public.
Gu Zong looked at Gu An, and his stern expression suddenly disappeared. He showed a gentle smile and said, "My friend, my name is Gu Zong, you should worship me as your master."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed drastically, and Du Ye looked at Gu An in disbelief.
Gu An breathed a sigh of relief and then came back again.
"My spiritual roots and aptitude are mediocre, so I'm afraid I'm not suitable to be your disciple..." Gu An said helplessly.
Gu Zong smiled and said, "I don't look at qualifications when accepting disciples, I only look at the liking for them. What you wrote is good, I like it very much."
How could Gu An agree under the watchful eyes of the public? Moreover, he did not like to take someone of the same realm as his master. He had no choice but to take Cheng Xuandan as his master.
"I still need to discuss this matter with others. I hope you can forgive me." Gu An took a deep breath and said with difficulty.
When Gu Zong heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He walked forward, patted Gu An on the shoulder, left a word and walked into Ji Mansion: "After the banquet, let's have a good chat. It's okay if you don't want to become my disciple. If you help me do one thing, I will meet all your requirements."
Gu Yu winked at Gu An and followed his father's footsteps.
When these guests entered the mansion, the Ji family members gathered around him and asked him what he had written that made the ancient clan value him so much.
An old monk jokingly asked, "Could it be that you wrote The Investiture of the Gods?"
Gu An smiled and said, "I wish I had written it."
Du Ye snorted, "How could he possibly write The Investiture of the Gods? It's probably something related to growing medicinal herbs."
Others followed suit, and after this twists and turns, Gu An's presence suddenly reached its peak.
Just when Gu An was about to flee, a monk from the Ji family walked out of the mansion and said, "Who is Gu An? The Third Miss invites you!"
Thanks to Mugeqing for the 500 starting coins and Xiaoyu who can't blow bubbles for the 100 starting coins~~ (End of this chapter)
