Chapter 9 The Life of the First Disciple
Looking at Gu An who was worried about him, Zhang Chunqiu felt very relieved.
As he was about to go down the mountain, what Zhang Chunqiu was most reluctant to leave was not his master, but his junior brother Gu An.
He is too obedient and honest.
Zhang Chunqiu had the same feeling as Li Ya. He was worried about Gu An and afraid that he would be bullied in the future.
"I have been in Medicine Valley for forty years, and it is time for me to go down the mountain. My aptitude for cultivating immortals is mediocre, and there is no hope for me to build a foundation in this lifetime. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to go down the mountain and enjoy the rest of my life. Junior Brother Gu, you should take over the position of the eldest senior brother. Meng Lang is a lazy guy, and he is not qualified to be the eldest senior brother." Zhang Chunqiu patted Gu An's shoulder and said seriously.
Gu An hesitated and said, "But...without you, my senior brother, I'm afraid I..."
Cheng Xuandan said: "If you don't dare, let Meng..."
"It's not that I can't do it!" Gu An interrupted quickly.
Zhang Chunqiu, who wanted to comfort him, was stunned.
Cheng Xuandan looked at Gu An deeply and said nothing more.
Gu An coughed falsely and said, "I can't disappoint my senior brother. Well, actually I'm afraid that Meng Lang will call me the day after he becomes the senior brother."
Hearing his next words, Zhang Chunqiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The atmosphere suddenly eased, Zhang Chunqiu began to encourage Gu An, and Gu An listened carefully.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Chunqiu rolled up his clothes and kowtowed to Cheng Xuandan. After kowtowed three times, he stood up and left, leaving Gu An and Cheng Xuandan alone.
“You see, this Medicine Valley is too small for anyone to stay here. If you don’t want to stay here for the rest of your life, you can tell me in advance. I, your master, may be able to lend you a helping hand.” Cheng Xuandan said with a calm look in his eyes.
Gu An quickly said, "Disciple is willing to stay in Medicine Valley for the rest of his life."
"Don't rush to answer, because it really could be a lifetime."
"Master, I dare not lie. I really want to stay here forever. Maybe in the eyes of others, the work done in Medicine Valley is dirty and tiring, but for me, this is where I feel most comfortable. Master takes good care of me, and my fellow apprentices are also very kind to me. I really want to stay here forever."
Gu An said seriously that at this moment, he must show his true feelings.
Cheng Xuandan said dimly, "You must have a background. It is no coincidence that you were able to survive the hands of the Greedy Demon Ghost. Moreover, the direction of the turmoil of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth yesterday also came from your courtyard."
Gu An was anxious: "Master, I really have no background. My only background may be the third lady of the Ji family, Ji Xiaoyu, but I am just her servant."
"Ji family?"
Cheng Xuandan stared. This was the first time that Gu An saw his expression change drastically.
Gu An saw fear, anger and terror on his face. All the negative emotions gathered together, making his face look hideous and terrifying.
Oops!
This old guy wouldn't have a grudge against the Ji family! Gu An was uneasy and felt that he had gone too far.
"So that's how it is. From now on, you will be the chief disciple of this medicine valley." Cheng Xuandan said after taking a deep breath.
An unexpected turn of events!
Gu An breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether Cheng Xuandan was sincere or not, he would be the eldest disciple first! Even if Cheng Xuandan had bad intentions, he would not live long.
Gu An was even less afraid of Cheng Xuandan plotting against him. Could Cheng Xuandan's body withstand a beating like the Greedy Demon Ghost? "Disciple will definitely be diligent and will never disappoint Master's expectations." Gu An promised hurriedly.
Cheng Xuandan waved his hand and said, "Go and call Meng Lang and Xiaochuan."
Upon hearing this, Gu An immediately bowed and turned to leave.
After one stick of incense.
Gu An, Meng Lang and Xiaochuan walked down from the attic. Xiaochuan was very excited and kept calling them "senior brother".
Meng Lang was indignant. He angrily said, "Why is it you, Senior Brother? Why not me? I have a higher level of cultivation and a higher family background than you!"
Gu An was not angry when he heard his words. He turned around and smiled, "Meng Lang, it's not easy to be the eldest senior brother. You have to be the eldest senior brother for your whole life. Master saw that you have the heart to cultivate immortality, so he let me be the eldest senior brother."
"Really?" Meng Lang's anger subsided.
"Of course, look at our senior brother. He has been here for forty years. How many forty years do we have in a lifetime?"
Meng Lang was silent, his eyes changed, and he looked at Gu An with sympathy.
He patted Gu An's shoulder and said, "Gu An, I'm sorry for wronging you."
Ogawa also fell silent.
Deep down in his heart, he also had a dream of becoming an immortal, so naturally he didn't want to stay here forever.
Gu An pretended to be silent, but he was laughing in his heart.
This guy Meng Lang is really easy to fool.
In this way, the life of Gu An, a senior disciple, began.
Cheng Xuandan asked him to be in charge of all affairs in the Medicine Valley. He directly handed over the planting and cultivation tasks to Xiaochuan and Meng Lang, and he himself was responsible for picking.
Meng Lang might have felt guilty, but he had no complaints.
Picking happens less than twice a month, so Gu An spends most of his time practicing, but he always hides his cultivation level and never lets anyone see it.
Three months passed.
Gu An reached the fifth level of Qi training without anyone knowing.
The Shenmu Pure Yang Kungfu that has been mastered to perfection is really amazing! Gu An's training time is not as long as Meng Lang's, so he left himself some time to read.
Autumn leaves cover the medicinal valley, and the surrounding mountains are also dyed with autumn colors, spreading a sense of sadness in the world.
Gu An stood in front of the wooden fence, looking at the third-level herbs that were about to mature, and he stroked the white spirit rat in his hand.
He suddenly heard something and turned his head to see Cheng Xuandan walking from the entrance of the valley, followed by two people, a boy and a girl, who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old.
He subconsciously used his lifespan to explore.
[Ye Lan (Qi Training Level 1): 14/110/130]
[Lu Jiujia (Qi Training Level 2): 15/140/190]
Can!
Two more handymen are here!
Gu An raised the corner of his mouth and immediately walked quickly towards Cheng Xuandan.
He came in front of Cheng Xuandan and saluted with his fists clasped.
Lu Jiujia and Ye Lan couldn't help but look at Gu An with curiosity. Gu An had handsome features to begin with, and after growing up, with the cultivation of Dragon Force Divine Yuan Gong and Divine Wood Pure Yang Gong, his temperament was outstanding, which reminded the two of them of the Taixuan Sect monks they had met.
"An'er, these two are your junior brothers and sisters. You come and help them settle down." Cheng Xuandan left after saying this.
An'er?
Gu An almost got goosebumps, but he still saluted towards Cheng Xuandan's back.
He turned and looked at Lu Jiujia and Ye Lan, and they hurriedly saluted him with a very respectful attitude, which made him very satisfied.
Can!
He is more polite than Li Ya and Meng Lang. Those two were not polite to Zhang Chunqiu at the beginning.
Gu An immediately took a liking to his fellow junior brothers and sisters. He began to introduce himself and asked the two to introduce themselves as well.
Lu Jiujia has dark skin and tattered clothes, looking like a farm boy, but his eyes are bright and sparkling.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Ye Lan is thin, but her clothes are rich, and her face can only be considered pretty.
"Let's go. Senior brother will take you to stay first." Gu An said with a smile. Seeing his gentle attitude, the two were no longer so nervous.
On the way to the disciple courtyard, Ye Lan couldn't help but ask the other disciples in the Medicine Valley out of curiosity.
Gu An introduced it truthfully.
Afterwards, he called Meng Lang and Xiaochuan to meet the four of them.
Unlike Zhang Chunqiu, Gu An really wants to manage the relationship between his fellow disciples well. After all, he wants to be the valley master.
The joining of Ye Lan and Lu Jiujia reminded Gu An of Zhu Moya and the greedy and angry demon.
no!
It must be resolved as soon as possible to prevent my fellow junior brothers and sisters from getting into danger.
While Gu An was thinking about this, he began to teach his junior and senior brothers and sisters how to do things.
That night.
He closed the door, took out Chu Jingfeng's spirit stone, injected a trace of spiritual power into it, and the spirit stone began to heat up.
It was the first time for Gu An to use this kind of cultivation technology, and he felt very novel.
After a few breaths, Chu Jingfeng's voice came from inside: "Who?"
Good man, how many people have you given such spiritual stones to? Gu An suppressed his mood and said, "Senior, I am Gu An from Medicine Valley."
Chu Jingfeng was silent.
Gu An felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately Chu Jingfeng quickly spoke up: "Do you have any information about the Greedy and Angry Ghost?"
"have!"
Gu An spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, and then told what he had seen and heard.
After he finished speaking, Chu Jingfeng asked in a deep voice: "Really?"
"It's true. I'm not lying. He is not far from our Medicine Valley. I'm afraid he will hurt us." Gu An said seriously.
"Okay, leave this matter entirely to me. I will go to the outer gate to find the address of his cave and will not trouble you again."
"Thank you for your understanding, senior. If this matter is successfully resolved, I hope you will not mention me. I am a mediocre person and do not want to cause trouble. I just want to live a peaceful life."
"Well, I will be sensible."
After Chu Jingfeng finished speaking, he cut off the connection with the spirit stone.
Gu An placed the spirit stone on the table and carefully recalled his interactions with Chu Jingfeng and Zhu Moya to confirm whether there were any omissions.
What a hassle.
Hopefully this thing will go away smoothly.
I just want to farm.
Gu An thought to himself that he preferred the peaceful life of picking grass to fighting and killing.
…
After informing Chu Jingfeng, Gu An would patrol every day, keeping an eye on his fellow disciples, fearing that they would leave the Medicine Valley.
There was no trouble for three days.
It was not until late at night on the fourth day that Gu An felt signs of spiritual energy rioting outside the Medicine Valley, and could faintly hear the sound of weapons clashing.
Let’s fight!
He sneaked out and came to the entrance of the valley. He wanted to stay there to prevent greedy demons or bad guys from sneaking into the medicine valley and slaughtering his fellow apprentices.
The battle in the distance was fierce, and when Gu An reached the entrance of the valley, it was not over yet.
There were too many mountains along the way, so Gu An could only use his outstanding hearing to judge the battle situation.
Sudden.
Gu An seemed to sense something and turned around abruptly, looking back into the medicine valley.
His eyes fell on an attic and he saw Cheng Xuandan standing in front of the window, looking at him from afar.
The bright moonlight shone down in the dark attic, and Cheng Xuandan looked like a ghost, which made Gu An feel creepy.
Oops!
He found out! Gu An frowned, suddenly not knowing what to do.
Just as he was hesitating, Cheng Xuandan slowly closed the window, but his eyes were like two rays of light, which made him feel uneasy.
Gu An was not afraid of Cheng Xuandan, but he was afraid that Cheng Xuandan would reveal the truth.
But he thought again, it shouldn't be the case. If Cheng Xuandan was really related to the great cultivator behind the Greedy Demon Ghost, why did he need to recruit Chu Jingfeng to protect him? It was a waste of time! If these menial disciples died, they would die. The other party didn't even need to find an excuse to report it to the sect.
