Chapter 56: Destiny Returns to Ji

Lü Baitian...

Isn’t this the sect leader who just passed away?

Gu An thought of many possibilities, but his expression did not change much. He asked curiously, "Since he is a distant relative of your father, why don't you arrange a better place for him? My medicine valley is dirty and tiring."

Gu Yu smiled and said, "Tai Xuan Sect was not founded by my father. Being arranged in this medicine valley is definitely better than the medicine valley in the outer sect."

Judging from his expression, he seemed unaware of Mr. Tian’s true identity.

It was difficult for Gu An to refuse directly. Wouldn’t refusal mean that he knew Mr. Tian’s true identity?

Gu Yu pulled Gu An upstairs. From beginning to end, Mr. Tian never looked back at Gu An.

After entering the room, Gu Yu closed the door. He turned around and asked excitedly, "How is it? The book should be out, right?"

Gu An smiled and said, "Come out, after careful consideration, I will let you be the protagonist."

"really?"

"Seriously, you'll see it soon enough."

Gu An smiled and nodded. Pan An's name was already well-known in the Taicang cultivation world. Taixuanmen would definitely promote the second book he wrote, especially since the three words "Taixuanmen" were included in it.

This book is meant to satisfy the ideas of the top management. After this book, Gu An will no longer write about them.

It is worth mentioning that this time when the books were distributed, the Book Collection Hall gave him an additional 20% of the profits, which was given by the Taixuan Sect.

Hearing Gu An's words, Gu Yu suddenly became excited. He took out a spiritual stone from his storage bag, slammed it heavily on the table, and said, "Thank you!"

Gu An looked at the spirit stone on the table and raised his eyebrows.

Such a rich spiritual energy!

Gu Yu smiled proudly and said, "This is a top-grade spirit stone, worth the equivalent of one hundred high-grade spirit stones. I only have two of them, and they were given to me by my mother. It's sincere enough, right? Just write it down with confidence. I can help you with anything else!"

One hundred high-quality spirit stones?

Gu An was shocked. This guy was truly full of heroic spirit.

The gap between the rich and the poor in the world of immortal cultivation is too big!

This piece of top-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one million pieces of low-grade spirit stones. The monthly salary of a menial disciple is only one piece of low-grade spirit stone! What a rich man! Gu An felt sour in his heart, and then he accepted the top-grade spirit stone and said with a smile: "I won't let you down."

Gu Yu was very excited and started asking for details about the book, but Gu An was very tight-lipped, which made him even more excited.

Gu Yu left after not staying for long. Gu An guessed that he was going to the library.

After bidding farewell to Gu Yu, Gu An came to Old Tian and introduced himself. Old Tian did the same, with a very respectful attitude, and it was impossible to tell that he was the leader of Taixuan Sect.

Mr. Tian, ​​who is 742 years old, currently has a life expectancy of 850 years, which means he can only live another 108 years.

Gu An guessed that it was related to his injury. Considering the sect master’s realm, his current life span was at least close to two thousand years.

Afterwards, Gu An took him around, introduced the situation of the Medicine Valley, and told him what to do in daily life.

Mr. Tian listened attentively, and from time to time he asked what kind of herbs they were passing by. He seemed to be really interested in farming life.

Could it be that he really fell into a state of despair because he was possessed by a demon? When Gu An heard about the experience of the Sect Master before, he subconsciously thought that the Sect Master was plotted against. After all, the struggle between the Sect Master and the elders lasted for many years. Now it seems that this is not the case for Elder Tian.

The life span detection would not lie to him, the man in front of him was the sect leader Lv Baitian! The arrival of Mr. Tian did not change the rhythm of life in the Third Medicine Valley. Zhen Qin and the other two usually practiced most of the time and did not communicate with him much. However, every time Gu An came back, he would chat with Mr. Tian.

Half a year passed quickly.

As autumn arrives, leaves fall and drift into Tianya Valley.

Gu An stood on the path in the park, watching the three monkey demons sweeping up the dead leaves. In the distance, Luo Hun was sitting on the hillside, holding the Green Hero's Travels in his hand, reading it very seriously, with his gun standing next to him. Threads of spiritual energy penetrated into it, forming a faint whirlwind.

Sudden.

Gu An noticed something and glanced into the distance.

He only glanced at it once and then looked away.

Not long after, a figure came from the entrance of the valley. The man was wearing a black and white robe, was very elegant, and held a folding fan in his hand.

Li Xuandao! After not seeing him for many years, the Taicang Emperor still looks as elegant as ever.

Gu An turned his head and threw a lifespan probe.

The ninth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm! Luo Hun on the hillside also noticed Li Xuandao’s arrival. He quickly stood up, put the Green Knight’s Travel Notes into his storage bag, and then went down the mountain with his gun.

Luo Hun came to Li Xuandao first and saluted, followed by Gu An.

As Li Xuandao walked towards the Medicine Valley loft, he turned to Gu An beside him and asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied with my Medicine Valley?"

Gu An replied, "Very good, beyond my expectations. Some of the high-level herbs are unheard of by me. Fortunately, His Majesty provided me with a herbal book."

"Hmm? Forgot what I told you before?"

"uncle."

"That's right."

Li Xuandao laughed loudly, while Luo Hun, who was standing on the other side of him, had a subtle expression on his face.

uncle?

Luo Hun seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes became strange.

The three of them came to the attic chatting and laughing. Li Xuandao sat down at the stone table and Luo Hun immediately poured him a glass of wine.

Li Xuandao raised his hand to signal Gu An to sit down as well. He looked at Gu An and asked, "Li Ya should have returned to Taixuan Sect, right?"

Gu An nodded and said, "I came back last year."

"Has he ever told you about his experiences over the years?"

"Yes, uncle should have sent someone to follow him, right?"

"How dare we send people to follow him? We just have spies everywhere. Tell me, how can a Foundation Establishment cultivator escape the possession of a Spiritual Transformation cultivator? What secrets does he have?"

When Li Xuandao asked this question, he picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then looked at Gu An with a smile.

Gu An frowned and said, "Secret? He didn't tell me, and I can't ask him directly."

Li Xuandao smiled and said, "My son has always had mediocre talent since he was young. He is considered the least talented among my children. But since he joined Taixuan Sect, he has soared to the sky and constantly surprised me. I am naturally happy that he can grow up, but I am afraid that he will be used by someone with ulterior motives."

Gu An looked at his expression and suddenly found it difficult to judge his attitude towards Li Ya.

But no matter what, Gu An's heart must be with Li Ya.

"Then I will ask indirectly later." Gu An pondered. He just said this, he would not ask.

Li Xuandao nodded in satisfaction. He turned to look at Luo Hun who was standing next to him and asked with a smile, "Luo Hun, do you think Li Ya has the potential to be the crown prince?"

Luo Hun's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I dare not overstep my authority!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"You, you, are so boring." Li Xuandao shook his head and laughed.

He looked at Gu An again, and Gu An quickly said, "Uncle, please don't ask me about this kind of thing. I don't want to cause trouble. I just want to plant grass and flowers for you!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Xuandao laughed out loud, picked up the jar of wine beside him and poured it directly into his mouth, much more heroic than before.

After that, he picked up another jar of wine and continued pouring it into his mouth.

Gu An realized that something was wrong. The emperor seemed to be worried!

Luo Hun also noticed it. He frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, has something happened?"

After Li Xuandao drank three jars of wine in one breath, he smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. You should have read The Investiture of the Gods, right?"

Luo Hun nodded and said, "It's well written. Don't you like it too?"

"I do like it, but recently some people have used The Investiture of the Gods to criticize me, saying that I am King Zhou and that the Li family has ruled the country for five hundred years. It's time for someone else to sit on the throne, and the destiny belongs to the Ji family. In recent years, the Ji family has often sent their children to various places to slay demons and eliminate monsters. Their reputation is getting louder and louder, and they are deeply loved by the people." Li Xuandao chuckled.

Gu An's heart skipped a beat.

Luo Hun was furious and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, who said that destiny belongs to Ji? I am ready to be ordered at any time. Even if you want to kill Pan An, I am willing to go!"

Good fellow! I won’t bring you the Green Hero’s Travels! Gu An was indignant in his heart, but pretended to be worried on his face.

Li Xuandao snorted, "Foolish! Killing Pan An would only prove that I am narrow-minded. I cannot even tolerate a writer!"

When Gu An heard this, he was very satisfied with Li Xuandao.

This is a wise ruler! Don’t be afraid, Your Majesty. My next book will be about Journey to the West, in which the emperor’s surname is Li.

Although Journey to the West has some critical meaning, it is directed at the Jade Emperor. The image of Li Shimin in the book is still very good.

Although there is no heaven in this world, there is a world of immortal cultivation. Criticizing the world of immortal cultivation is not a bad idea, which is in line with the current cultivators' expectations of Pan An. As long as he does not specifically mention Taixuan Sect, there will be no problem.

While Gu An was thinking, Luo Hun was still angry.

"The governors of each state have backgrounds and are increasingly out of the control of the court. Now that public resentment is rising, using The Investiture of the Gods to criticize me is probably just their first step. One day, the sword will be hung in front of me. I need to cultivate my own strength. Tianya Valley plays a big role. Don't let me down."

Li Xuandao smiled, he stood up and walked towards the park, Gu An and Luo Hun followed hurriedly.

Three full days passed before Li Xuandao left.

During these three days, Li Xuandao always took the opportunity to reveal to Gu An his expectations of Li Ya.

The more this happened, the more Gu An felt that it wasn't that simple.

Anyway, he just let it go in one ear and out the other, and was too lazy to get involved in the affairs between them.

After Li Xuandao left, Gu An also chose to leave. Before leaving, Luo Hun told him not to bring The Investiture of the Gods with him in the future, and just bring The Journey of the Green Hero.

In response, Gu An chuckled.

…

The seasons change, and another three years pass.

Tianya Valley welcomed the first batch of mature medicinal herbs this year. Gu An harvested nearly five thousand years of life in one breath, which made him happy.

Starting this year, his annual lifespan income will skyrocket. His current total lifespan has exceeded 70,000 years, and he will continue to strive to reach a lifespan of one million years.

On this day, Gu An brought Su Han and Zhen Qin to the outer gate.

Both of them have reached the foundation-building stage. In addition to years of practice, Gu An has also refined many low-level elixirs for them to help them successfully build their foundation.

After Gu An sent them to the outer sect elders' hall, he turned and left. The menial disciples had to register their identities at the elders' hall before they could officially become outer sect disciples.

Just as I was walking down a street, a familiar voice came: "Brother, long time no see!"

Gu An turned around and saw Lu Jiujia, who was wearing the black clothes of the Demon Exorcist Hall, walking towards him, followed by six disciples of the Demon Exorcist Hall.

"How are you these days?" Gu An asked with a smile.

Ever since the change of the sect leader, the Demon Exorcism Hall has gained momentum, even surpassing the Law Enforcement Hall. One can always run into their people when walking in the outer city.

Lu Jiujia came up to him and nodded, "Very good, Master just promoted me, not only the salary is improved, but also the power is greater. Brother, if you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me."

He took out a black token from his storage bag and handed it to Gu An.
