Chapter 10 Alchemy, a Jade and a Promise
Gu An tried not to think too much about Cheng Xuandan's thoughts. He focused his attention outside the valley to avoid any enemy attacks.
He kept watch for the entire night.
It was almost dawn when Gu An quietly returned to the house.
Gu An wanted to go to the battlefield to take a look, but he was afraid of traps, so he had to endure it.
The addition of Ye Lan and Lu Jiujia made the Medicine Valley more lively. The two of them dragged Xiaochuan around the Medicine Valley. They were young and energetic. The usually taciturn Xiaochuan also became lively because of them.
Gu An leaned against a wooden fence in the park, holding Qing Xia's Travels in both hands, enjoying the autumn breeze.
His eyes would occasionally glance towards Cheng Xuandan's attic.
The eye contact last night lingered in his mind. He really wanted to talk to Cheng Xuandan, but he was afraid of disrupting the delicate balance.
At this time, Lu Jiujia came up to Gu An and asked expectantly, "Big Brother, I heard from Brother Meng that you are proficient in a set of advanced leg techniques. Can you teach me? I am willing to help you take over all the picking tasks."
Gu An looked at him and said with a smile, "Not really proficient. If you want to learn, I can teach you. As for picking, leave it to you, senior brother. I have to do something, and picking is my hobby."
After hearing this, Lu Jiujia became even more in awe of Gu An.
The eldest brother is such a good person! He was very excited.
Gu An put the book in his arms and began to teach Lu Jiujia how to practice the Canfeng Leg.
Not long after, Xiaochuan and Ye Lan also came over to learn. As for Meng Lang, he couldn't let go of his pride, and he felt that Gu An was not as strong as himself. The reason why he revealed Gu An's leg skills was that he didn't want to be entangled by Lu Jiujia.
The Canfeng Leg technique was so powerful that even though Gu An was holding back on the technique, the three young boys and girls were still amazed.
An hour later, Gu An was thinking of an excuse to escape when a voice came from afar:
"An'er, come here."
Gu An turned his head and saw Cheng Xuandan standing in front of the window waving at him.
Here we come!
Gu An immediately walked towards Cheng Xuandan’s attic. Xiaochuan and the other two didn’t think much about it and continued to practice Canfeng Leg.
He walked into Cheng Xuandan's room, closed the door, then quickly came to Cheng Xuandan and bowed.
Cheng Xuandan was sitting in front of the alchemy furnace. He pointed to the other side of the furnace and said, "Sit down."
Gu An walked to the place he pointed and sat down cross-legged, while preparing his words in his mind.
"Are you looking for Chu Jingfeng?" Cheng Xuandan interrupted Gu An's thoughts with the first sentence he said.
Good fellow, get straight to the point! Gu An stopped pretending and answered, "Yes, he found me before and told me to contact him anytime if I have any clues about the Greedy Demon Ghost. Senior Brother Zhang recommended me to take care of the cave for an outer disciple named Zhu Moya. When Zhu Moya came back, I went to take over and saw the Greedy Demon Ghost hidden behind the vines. His cave was too close to us, so I had to find Chu Jingfeng."
Cheng Xuandan nodded and said, "You are right. This matter can only be handled by Chu Jingfeng. Chu Jingfeng is not a simple person. He is not only gifted, but also has a prominent background. That is why he can become an inner sect disciple with the foundation building stage."
Have a big background?
No wonder they dare to investigate greed, anger, demons and ghosts!
Gu An felt relieved, but he was also worried that Chu Jingfeng would fail, and that the great monk behind the greedy and angry demon would eventually find him.
"Chu Jingfeng has been investigating the greedy and angry ghosts, so he took the task from our Medicine Valley. This is a game between his father and a big shot in the sect. But I'm still very confused. It's been several months since you came back from Zhu Moya. Why did you only look for Chu Jingfeng recently?" Cheng Xuandan stared at Gu An and asked.
Gu An said helplessly: "Master, you should know me. I am afraid of trouble and I don't want to conflict with others. No matter how Meng Lang orders me, I am too lazy to argue with him, so I originally wanted to pretend that I didn't see it, but Master led my junior brothers and sisters into the Medicine Valley, so I had to contact Chu Jingfeng."
He meant what he said, and he really meant it for this reason.
Cheng Xuandan looked at him deeply, then glanced at the alchemy furnace beside him and said, "You have done very well. From now on, you will be my true disciple. I will teach you everything I know."
"As for this matter, you and I, master and disciple, forget about it. Whether it's Chu Jingfeng's father or the big man behind the Greedy Demon Ghost, we can't afford to offend them."
Hearing this, Gu An was stunned. He looked at Cheng Xuandan's profile and suddenly felt that he had misunderstood his master.
“Master!”
Gu An immediately stood up and bowed to Cheng Xuandan very solemnly.
Cheng Xuandan looked at him again, with a kind look on his face, completely different from his usual self.
"In the future, if you have anything you want to know or learn, you can come to me. Don't bother me. I don't have many years left to live, and I won't have many days left to teach you." Cheng Xuandan's eyes and tone were softer than ever before.
Gu An sat down and asked carefully, "Master, can you make the anti-aging pill?"
The standard configuration for the protagonist of an immortal cultivation story is to take the anti-aging pill at the beginning, which can keep one young forever. Gu An doesn't want to be a white-haired old man in the future.
Cheng Xuandan shook his head and laughed, then raised his hand and made a move in the air. A jade bottle appeared in his hand. He poured out a bottle and handed it to Gu An.
Gu An did not hesitate and swallowed it directly.
The reason why he was so bold was that the Shenmu Chunyang Gong and Longjin Shenyuan Gong both had the effect of expelling poisons. It was no exaggeration to describe him as immune to all poisons.
Seeing that Gu An had no guard against him, Cheng Xuandan's eyes showed relief.
After taking the anti-aging pill, Gu An did not feel anything special, as if he had eaten a piece of rock candy that melted in his mouth.
"Do you have any ideas about alchemy?" Cheng Xuandan asked.
Gu An's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, "To be honest, Master, I have long wanted to learn alchemy from you, but I was too embarrassed to ask before."
Cheng Xuandan pinched his beard and laughed heartily.
The atmosphere in the room became very harmonious. Cheng Xuandan began to teach the art of alchemy, starting from the fire in the alchemy furnace. Gu An, who had learned the art of controlling fire, learned very quickly, causing Cheng Xuandan to mistakenly believe that he had a talent for alchemy.
Later, when Cheng Xuandan's topic deviated from the fire, Gu An began to get confused, which made Cheng Xuandan silent for a while.
…
Since Gu An and Cheng Xuandan established a true master-disciple relationship, the Medicine Valley has become more lively. Cheng Xuandan, who had been locked up in the house all year round, also began to come out and teach Gu An and others how to grow medicinal herbs.
Lu Jiujia and Ye Lan liked Cheng Xuandan more and more, and often praised their master for being kind and amiable, which made Meng Lang sneer.
After the great battle that night, there were no more sounds of fighting outside the valley.
Neither Chu Jingfeng nor Zhu Moya came to the Medicine Valley. Gu An did not dare to investigate the situation and could only hide the matter in his heart.
Time flies.
A year passed quickly.
When Gu An turned twenty, his life span increased to more than two thousand eight hundred years.
At noon that day, Gu An was lying on a cliff halfway up the mountain reading a book. Looking down was the Medicine Valley, and he could see Xiaochuan and Lu Jiujia practicing leg techniques.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Ever since the word "alchemy" appeared on Gu An's attribute panel, he stopped bothering Cheng Xuandan.
The process of learning alchemy is really boring.
It is worth mentioning that at Gu An’s suggestion, Cheng Xuandan exchanged more seeds from the outer sect. It must be said that after truly becoming a master and apprentice relationship, Cheng Xuandan was very competent.
Gu An rested his head on his left hand and held the book in his right hand. He exhaled from his mouth and turned the pages of the book with the breath.
His eyes suddenly widened and he sat up immediately.
The latest Qingxia Travels actually contains pictures!
There is something here! Gu An carefully admired the pictures in the book, criticizing them non-stop.
A hissing sound came from the sky, and he looked up suddenly, his eyes becoming sharp.
A white eagle with a wingspan of about ten feet fell down. When it was about two feet away from Gu An, its claws loosened and a letter fell. He took it.
The white eagle drew a perfect arc in the air and quickly disappeared over the other side of the mountain.
What a handsome sculpture!
Gu An couldn't help but think of his own white rat, which was only the size of a palm and completely useless.
He opened the envelope and found, in addition to the letter, a jade pendant with the word "Chu" engraved on it.
He put the jade pendant in his belt, put the Green Hero's Travels in his arms, and then checked the letter.
This letter was actually written by Chu Jingfeng.
Chu Jingfeng first briefly explained the previous battle. Zhu Moya had died under his sword. During this year, he collected evidence everywhere and brought down the great monk who controlled the greed, anger, demons and ghosts. He told Gu An not to worry about this matter anymore.
That jade pendant is a token of their Chu family. If Gu An encounters a problem that he cannot solve, he can use this jade pendant to find him or his clansmen.
The Chu family recognizes jade, not people; one jade is a promise.
Gu An's favorable impression of Chu Jingfeng increased greatly. He did not expect that this arrogant inner disciple was so loyal.
Even if Chu Jingfeng didn't want to repay him, he had no choice. Besides, he had said before that Chu Jingfeng didn't need to contact him again.
After reading the letter, Gu An tore it into pieces and scattered it on the ground. He twisted his right foot slightly, and the spiritual power under his feet vibrated, and all the fragments of the letter turned into powder.
The spiritual power of the eighth level of Qi training is so strong! Gu An's mouth curled up, and he leaped up, flying away like a wild goose. Along the way, his toes stepped on the leaves of the woods on the hillside, and he landed gracefully.
Lu Jiujia and Xiaochuan are no longer surprised by this.
Gu An controlled his breath at the second level of Qi training, and he had already demonstrated his Canfeng Leg, which earned him high praise from Cheng Xuandan. Now he seemed like a formidable martial arts master.
Gu An acts low-key, but he feels that he cannot hide it forever, and showing some of his strength appropriately will help him live a better farming life.
As soon as he landed, the white rat scurried over and climbed along his legs to his shoulders.
"I haven't tested your leg skills for several days. Come on, let's have a sparring match. You two can work together." Gu An said with a smile towards Xiaochuan and the other man.
Xiaochuan and Lu Jiujia looked at each other and immediately rushed towards Gu An.
Three people were fighting with their legs on the grass outside the park. They moved their bodies and their long legs were like whips. For a moment, the wind was whistling and grass debris was flying everywhere.
Gu An fought one against two and used one leg to break the leg techniques of Xiaochuan and the other two.
Although Xiaochuan's leg techniques are quite good, they are a bit clumsy. Lu Jiujia is very talented, and his kicks already have the momentum of Canfeng Leg, but each of his moves is slower than Gu An's.
After half a cup of tea, Xiaochuan and Lu Jiujia were already out of breath. They looked at each other and admitted defeat in unison.
Gu An slowly retracted his legs that were suspended in the air and said with a smile, "You have made great progress. It is very difficult for me, your senior brother, to deal with you. I think it won't be long before you can surpass me."
"How long is how long?" Ogawa asked stiffly.
Gu An patted the dust off his trouser legs and said with a smile: "It depends on how hard you work."
The white rat lay on his shoulder, squeaking as if it was laughing.
