Chapter 55: Taixuan Immortal Venerable, Sect Master Changes Position
Seeing Luo Hun's embarrassed expression, Gu An suddenly realized that this guy liked this. Why didn't he say so earlier? Gu An immediately patted Luo Hun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, I didn't expect that you have the same taste as me. To be honest, compared to the fighting and killing in the Investiture of the Gods and the disputes over the orthodoxy, I prefer the casual communication between people and the experience of traveling around the mountains and rivers. Those can truly temper the heart of Taoism!"
His words made Luo Hun no longer embarrassed and a smile appeared on his face.
The two began to talk about Qing Xia's travels, and their relationship became closer.
However, Luo Hun was still very reserved and did not dare to talk about the affairs between men and women in Qingxia's Travels. He only talked about those strange sights and stories.
Gu An found it very fun to tease the serious Luo Hun.
Tianya Valley won't be so boring anymore! ...
Time flies, and three years passed quickly.
Another midsummer has arrived. Gu An is already 38 years old. Starting from this year, the first batch of mature medicinal herbs will be harvested in the Third Medicine Valley. He is very much looking forward to it.
As for Tianya Valley, we will have to wait a little longer because the herbs grown there are only high-level ones.
Early in the morning of that day, Gu An led his disciples in practicing exercises in Xuan Valley.
Although Zhen Qin and the other two went to the Third Medicine Valley, Xuan Valley was still bustling with the arrival of three new menial disciples.
Gu An was twisting his waist when he suddenly felt something and a smile appeared on his face.
Xiaochuan noticed his smile and couldn't help asking, "Brother, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, just continue practicing." Gu An said perfunctorily, and Xiaochuan had to give up.
After a while, the exercise was over, the disciples dispersed, and Gu An also walked towards his attic.
He had just walked downstairs when he heard a sound of breaking air in the distance. He turned his head and saw someone flying towards him on a sword.
It’s Li Ya!
After not seeing each other for many years, Li Ya is still wearing black clothes, but his temperament has changed. There is a strand of white hair on his forehead, which makes him look more vicissitudes of life.
Li Ya saw Gu An from afar and a smile appeared on his cold face, as if an iceberg was melting.
Li Ya's cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and Gu An feels that he is even stronger than Ji Lin was back then, and he is estimated to be not far from forming a pill.
After landing, Li Ya opened his arms and hugged Gu An, which made his body a little stiff.
"Not bad, you have actually established the foundation. It seems you have worked hard." Li Ya pinched Gu An's shoulders and said with a satisfied smile.
Gu An naturally broke free from his clutches and said with a smile, "I'm finally back. Is everything going well?"
Li Ya shook his head and said, "It's not going well, but it can be considered a blessing in disguise. Let's go into the house and talk."
Gu An nodded and took him upstairs.
An hour later.
In the attic, Gu An and Li Ya sat opposite each other drinking. After listening to Li Ya's experiences over the years, he was deeply moved.
"I feel like it can be written into a book." Gu An commented.
Li Ya smiled and said, "Indeed, although I have escaped death many times, I have become who I am today."
During these years, Li Ya went south to look for the inheritance of the great monk Huashen, and competed with various geniuses. He finally broke out of the siege, but the great monk Huashen actually wanted to take over his body. Fortunately, he escaped the danger. Although he did not say how he escaped the danger of possession, Gu An guessed that it was related to the soul in his body.
After the crisis of transformation was over, Li Ya learned a sword skill in the cultivator's cave. He had accumulated it for three years, and his sword skill was completely transformed.
Afterwards, he came back from Jizhou in the south and encountered other twists and turns on the way. For example, he met a woman who was bullied by a local noble family. Fortunately, he rescued her. Unfortunately, just after he left, he heard that the woman and her family were forced to death. This tragedy spread widely among the people, so he returned and slaughtered the noble family, causing a lot of discussion in the whole state.
The local authorities gave up the pursuit of Li Ya after a few days and even withdrew the arrest warrant.
When Li Ya talked about this experience, his tone was not too sad, just a little cold.
Gu An poured another glass of wine for Li Ya. Li Ya suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Gu, what do you think the purpose of cultivating immortality is? Is it just to pursue the illusory immortality? But from ancient times to the present, there has never been anyone who has achieved immortality."
Hearing this, Gu An poured himself a glass of wine and said, "I don't know what immortal cultivators should pursue. I only know that life should be easy. Do whatever makes you feel relaxed."
"I plant flowers and plants all day long. Many people think that I am wasting my time in cultivation, but I think such days are very interesting. The herbs I plant can help the sect, so they have some meaning, don't they?"
He didn't think Li Ya was being pretentious. After going through some things, one would always feel confused.
After hearing this, Li Ya held the wine glass and fell into deep thought.
He spent half an hour thinking about this. Gu An did not disturb him but took out Qing Xia's Travel Notes to read.
After Li Ya finished thinking, his eyes became bright. He looked up at Gu An and said, "Great principles are never in the temple. Junior Brother Gu, thank you. I think I know what to do."
He stood up and took out a small white jade bottle from his storage bag, saying, "This is a pill made from thousand-year-old spirit fat. It can strengthen your muscles and bones. You can only take two pills a year. I have to go back to make a pill."
After saying this, without waiting for Gu An to try to persuade him to stay, he simply climbed out the window and left.
Gu An was silent. Why did this kid love to climb through the window?
His eyes turned to the small white jade bottle on the table.
Why does everyone like to give him gifts?
Gu An looked helpless, but he still put the bottle into his storage bag.
…
The summer night came late. Gu An arrived at the Third Medicine Valley. As soon as he stepped off the teleportation formation, his eyes were attracted by a small pavilion in the distance. He saw Zhen Qin, Su Han, Ye Yan and Zhou Tongyou sitting in it, chatting happily.
Gu An walked over immediately.
Zhou Tongyou, who was talking, glanced at Gu An with a smile on his face. The others followed his gaze, and then three of them quickly stood up.
Arriving in front of the pavilion, Gu An asked unhappily, "Why are you here again? Haven't you emptied your storage bag yet?"
Three years passed, and Zhou Tongyou came no less than ten times, each time bringing herbs, pills, and magical weapons. In the last competition, Gu An used ten moves to defeat him, and the victory was very reluctant.
Well, his acting was also very forced.
Zhou Tongyou smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm not here to spar with you this time, but to say goodbye. I'm leaving. After so many years in Taixuan Sect, you are my true friend. I recognize you very much."
friend?
Gu An didn't know how to respond.
Ye Yan looked at Zhou Tongyou with some reluctance. Over the years, Zhou Tongyou would guide him in his cultivation every time he came. To him, he was like a half-master.
"What do you mean you've been in Taixuanmen for so many years? Aren't you a disciple of Taixuanmen?" Zhen Qin asked in surprise, eyes wide open.
Su Han and Ye Yan's expressions also changed drastically.
They had the same idea in their minds.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Could this person be a spy from the evil sect?
Zhou Tongyou smiled proudly and said, "Forget it. I wanted to keep a low profile because I was afraid that you would feel pressured. Now that we are about to part, I will not pretend anymore. I am Zhou Tongyou from Jueshan Sect!"
After these words were spoken, Zhen Qin and the other two were stunned. This made Zhou Tongyou even more pleased. He even raised his chin and looked at Gu An, wanting to see Gu An's shocked expression.
Gu An's expression changed drastically, causing Zhou Tongyou's mood to soar.
However, Zhen Qin suddenly fired a cold shot: "Are you famous?"
Zhou Tongyou's pupils slowly dilated and his whole body froze.
Gu An was afraid that he would change his mind and want to stay again, so he said: "It is indeed very big, suppressing all the younger disciples of Taixuan Sect. I didn't expect... I am so disrespectful..."
When Zhou Tongyou heard this, his expression relaxed. Zhen Qin and the other two exclaimed in surprise at Gu An's eye contact.
"Oh my god! Did I hear that correctly?"
“It’s you…”
"How is that possible!"
Zhou Tongyou's face twitched. For some reason, he felt these words were harsh.
He took a deep breath and said, "Your Taixuan Sect is about to undergo a major change. Please be careful on weekdays. Green mountains and clear waters, we will see you again if we are lucky."
After saying this, he leaped forward, transformed into a ray of rainbow light, and flew towards the horizon.
The three disciples were all shocked by his agility and stared blankly in the direction he left.
Gu An waved his hand and said, "Disperse. Practice hard and build your foundation as soon as possible, or you won't even be qualified to see him again in the future."
The three of them bowed and left quickly.
Gu An was thinking about what Zhou Tongyou said. Was Taixuan Sect going to undergo a major change? He hoped that it would not affect his Medicine Valley.
He turned and walked towards his attic. After going upstairs and entering the room, he closed the door and walked to the desk and sat down. He took out a pen and paper and began to study the book of Gu Zong and his son.
The final volume of Investiture of the Gods has been sent to the library, and it’s time to write a new book.
After The Investiture of the Gods, he had to write Journey to the West, but he was afraid that it would have too much influence, so he put it on hold for the time being and first wrote a novel about Gu Zong and his son to reduce the popularity and make Pan An look less divine.
Recently, the outer disciples have been exaggerating Pan An into being a living immortal, which makes Gu An a little uneasy.
He plans to write his second book based on the classic plots of online novels he had read in his previous life.
Gu Zong has been cultivating immortals for five hundred years and is famous in the world of immortals. He is the most powerful elder of Taixuan Sect. In the year when his Taoist partner gave birth to their youngest son, the evil sect invaded and Taixuan Sect suffered a devastating disaster. Gu Zong used his own magical powers to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to destroy the evil sect, and he also fell into the space crack caused by his magical powers.
Everyone thought he was dead, but little did they know that he landed on an isolated island overseas and accidentally discovered the immortal inheritance.
Twenty years later, Gu Zong returned, only to find that his son Gu Yu had been demoted to a menial disciple because Gu Yu's spiritual roots had been taken away by someone!
Zhou Tongyou and Gu Yu are the same age. They have been good friends since childhood. Even though Gu Yu was demoted, he still looked forward to Gu Yu's rise. After hundreds of years of grievances, the two became the pillars of Taixuan Sect and guarded the peace of the immortal world.
After Gu An thought about it, his eyes lit up.
He started writing.
Chapter 1: The Fallen Genius! ...
The second year after Zhou Tongyou left, in the spring, Gu An went to the outer gate to hand in a book. Liu Chang was very interested in the "Taixuan Xianzun" he wrote and talked to him for a long time.
When leaving the library, Gu An heard the disciples passing by talking about how the sect leader, Lu Baitian, went astray in his practice and died accidentally, and the elder Chu Tianqi took over as the sect leader.
Gu An was secretly shocked. The sect leader was killed? He quickly left the outer gate city and rushed to the third medicine valley.
As a result, after entering the valley, he saw Gu Yu waiting there. Behind Gu Yu stood an old man with a hunched back. He was skinny, had a head full of white hair, and wore tattered cloth. He was looking around the parks.
When Gu Yu saw him flying over on his sword, he smiled, stood up, and said, "You are finally back. This is my father's distant relative. You can call him Old Tian. He has mediocre spiritual roots and will never be able to build a foundation in his lifetime. From now on, he will help you in the Medicine Valley. You can use him as you like."
Gu An looked at the old man and his eyes changed slightly.
