Chapter 101: Shenzhou Sutra, the Fear of the Fusion Realm
Gu An didn’t know what Yang Ni was thinking. He chose Lu Jiujia simply because there was no one else to choose from.
As for Yang Ni, in his opinion, this girl would have to leave sooner or later, so he never considered her becoming the eldest disciple.
When it was late at night, after the banquet, everyone went back to their rooms, and Gu An quietly came to the Bajing Cave.
In recent times, he has been studying the Wan Gu Xuan Gong and has gained a lot of insights.
He came under the vine tree, and with a thought, a figure emerged from a cave, as powerful as a gust of wind, raising up grass debris along the way.
The person who came was Meng Lang who had turned into a Gu corpse.
Gu An controlled Meng Lang with his mind and directed him to pick a ripe medicinal herb.
After Meng Lang picked the fruits, Gu An waited for a long time but did not receive any notification that he had successfully seized the longevity.
The plan failed!
It seems I will have to do it myself in the future!
Gu An felt a little regretful, but not disappointed. Now that the harvests in the Third Medicine Valley and Tianya Valley had started to grow, his annual lifespan income was at least 100,000 years, and was still growing.
In less than a hundred years, he could reach a lifespan of tens of millions of years! Gu An was already very satisfied with this speed. After all, for an ordinary cultivator, how many realms could he cultivate in a hundred years?
Gu An asked Meng Lang to return to the cave, and he took out the Tianxu Sword and began to practice the Mu Ling sword technique.
…
The next morning, Gu An walked down from the attic and led his disciples in exercises. Yang Ni also joined in. After the exercises, Yang Ni quickly rushed to the forest.
Gu An felt that her expression was not right and that she was acting abnormally today, so he observed her for a while. When he saw Yang Ni sowing seeds in the forest, he couldn't help but raise his brows.
Those seeds look unfamiliar!
Gu An was a cultivator in the Mahayana realm, with a photographic memory and meticulous observation. He could tell at a glance that the seeds in her hand were of a type he had never seen before.
He immediately walked over and came behind Yang Ni.
"What are you planting?" Gu An asked curiously, and when Yang Ni stood up, he threw a life probe into her palm.
[Epiphyllum (Level 6): 0/120/5000]
Sixth-level spiritual flower?
The name is still Epiphyllum!
Gu An couldn't help but associate it with the Epiphyllum Cult.
Yang Ni replied, "I got this from an enemy's storage bag. I don't know what it's called. These seeds have been in my bag for decades. I took them out today and planted them because I thought of them."
"Really?" Gu An thought thoughtfully.
Yang Ni observed his expression and said, "Yes, can't plant it?"
"Grow it."
Gu An smiled, but he did not point out the origin of this flower.
Yang Ni wanted to plant sixth-level spiritual flowers, how could he refuse?
Anyway, he was the one who picked the herbs she grew.
Immediately, Gu An encouraged Yang Ni with a few words, then turned and left.
Yang Ni looked at his back and became more and more confused about him.
"I was actually intimidated by a foundation-building kid." Yang Ni thought to himself with self-mockery, then squatted down and continued to plant the Epiphyllum.
No matter what Gu An guessed, as long as she was given the opportunity to plant Epiphyllum, she would plant it!
She glanced at Gu An's back and said to herself, "When I have accomplished something, I will protect your life and then introduce you to the Epiphyllum Sect."
After spending many years together, she liked Gu An very much and felt that it would be a pity if such a young man died in a sectarian struggle.
Such talents are suitable to be brought to the Epiphyllum Sect to continue to shine.
…
After the New Year, everything comes back to life and Taixuanmen welcomes a lively atmosphere again.
In early March, Gu An and Shen Zhen were discussing books in the building. Suddenly, they felt something and put down the books in their hands.
Gu An coughed and said, "Put all these things away."
Shen Zhen's cheeks turned slightly red, and he quickly put all the drawing papers on the table into his storage bag.
After packing up everything, the two went downstairs.
They came to the open space in front of the attic and saw a cultivator flying over from the sky. Gu An saw an acquaintance, Ji Xiaoyu.
There were eleven cultivators in total, and Gu An kept using his lifespan to explore them.
Except for the cultivator leading the way in front, the other ten were all under a hundred years old. The lowest cultivation level was the eighth level of the Jindan realm, and two of them had even reached the Yuanying realm.
Those who are under a hundred years old in the Nascent Soul stage have terrifying talents.
The maximum lifespan of these geniuses is at least two thousand years.
The cultivator who led the way was named Lu Chen, and he was at the second level of the Transcendent Realm. After he landed, he bowed to Gu An and said, "These ten are the disciples that the Sect Master has entrusted to come here to cultivate their minds. I leave them all to you, Valley Master."
He was very polite to Gu An and did not have the airs of a great cultivator in the Void Realm, which made Gu An very curious about how Lu Baitian actually worked.
Everyone in the Lu family knows how to behave! Gu An raised his hand and saluted, saying, "Thank you, senior."
Seeing that he was polite, Lu Chen smiled, nodded, and then left.
Gu An looked at the ten geniuses of Taixuan Sect, and these ten geniuses of Taixuan Sect were also looking at him.
"Miss Shen, why are you here?" a man in green asked with a frown. He was unhappy when he saw Shen Zhen standing behind Gu An.
This person's name is Liu Yu, and he has reached the ninth level of the Jindan realm. His maximum lifespan is 2,409 years old! Shen Zhen ignored him and said to Gu An, "Since you have a guest in the Medicine Valley, I will leave. I will be alone next time."
After saying that, she leaped up and quickly disappeared behind the mountain.
Alone?
Everyone looked at Gu An with strange eyes, and a cold light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.
[Liu Yu is hostile to you and wants to attack you. Do you want to use life detection on him?]
Want to attack me?
How deep is this hatred?
Gu An said, "Miss Shen and I just like reading books and occasionally communicate. We have no other relationship. She told me that her goal as a Taoist partner is to help the Taoist Sword Master."
Everyone was a young genius, and they couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Liu Yu smiled awkwardly and gave Gu An an apologetic look.
They are not stupid. Lu Baitian personally asked Gu An to lead them. Gu An must have his strengths. Even if he doesn't, he is still Lu Baitian's man, and they dare not offend him.
Geniuses are favored by the Taixuan Sect, but geniuses are not someone who can do whatever they want. At least if Lu Baitian wants to deal with them, their families have to think twice.
Ji Xiaoyu asked, "Valley Master, please tell us what we should do."
As soon as she opened her mouth, the others stopped smiling and looked at Gu An expectantly.
The sect leader said that coming here could help them cultivate their minds, and they subconsciously thought that cultivating their minds would help them in their cultivation.
Gu An smiled and said, "Then come with me. Don't complain about being tired or suffering. No one can stop halfway. Only losers give up halfway."
After these words were spoken, the geniuses became even more excited, and the looks they gave each other seemed to be bursting with lightning.
All geniuses have a competitive spirit!

Afterwards, Gu An took them to a forest dozens of miles away, asked them to reclaim the land, taught them how to sow seeds, and then took them around to check for medicinal herbs.
Although it was a common thing, the ten disciples were very serious and did not even dare to miss a stone along the way.
After several days, some people couldn't hold back any longer.
The disciple named Chang Zang couldn't help but stop, looked at Gu An, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you kidding us? Does cultivating the mind mean that you want us to be medicine boys?"
The others looked at Gu An, and even Ji Xiaoyu frowned.
Gu An knew that this matter was unreliable, but Lu Baitian insisted on doing it.
After sighing, he took out ten books from his storage bag and threw them to the ten people.
Everyone looked delighted and took the book.
"Shenzhou Sutra?" Someone read the title of the book, his eyes lighting up.
This name doesn't look simple at first glance.
Gu An turned around and said, "You figure it out for yourselves."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving everyone to start flipping through the book.
Liu Yu turned to the first page and read: "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name..."
Gu An turned his back to them with a smile on his face.
The Shenzhou Jing is not the Tao Te Ching. He simply pieced together the classic quotes from ancient China in his memory to form a miscellaneous book, which is enough to fool people.
He was reluctant to write the Tao Te Ching. What if someone really figured out something about it?
…
Since obtaining the Shenzhou Sutra, Ji Xiaoyu and others have found places to comprehend it and do not disturb each other. The normal rhythm of the Third Medicine Valley has not been disrupted because of them.
Five days later.
Ji Xiaoyu closed the Shenzhou Sutra and looked at the disciples who were busy doing chores at the foot of the mountain. She thought for a moment, stood up, and went down the mountain to help.
A genius sitting on the top of the opposite mountain saw her behavior, seemed to think of something, and also started to go down the mountain.
They couldn't comprehend the Shenzhou Sutra, but it did seem profound and mysterious. They thought about Gu An's initial arrangements for them, and perhaps they could gain some insights in the countryside.
Another ten days passed, and all the other talented disciples were busy with the chores in the Medicine Valley. They were diligently busy every day, reading the Shenzhou Sutra in their spare time and practicing Qigong at night.
This made Gu An very satisfied. They were indeed the ten top talents selected by Lu Baitian. Putting aside their qualifications, none of them were fools. As long as they believed it was the right thing to do, they would really make up their minds to do it and stick to it.
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
Gu An was over 59 years old. One day, he was staying in Tianya Valley. He had just finished picking herbs when he suddenly felt something and his face changed suddenly. He immediately threw the herbs to Sun Da next to him and quickly left Tianya Valley.
This made Luo Hun and the other two in the valley quite confused, but they didn't think much about it.
Ever since he learned that Gu An had mastered the Xuanwu Jingtao Palm, Lu Xian no longer bothered Gu An, or even other people. He practiced in seclusion all day long, like a possessed demon. His cultivation level increased extremely fast. At this rate, he would be able to condense his Nascent Soul in a few years.
After leaving the Tianya Valley within a hundred miles, Gu An disappeared into the air. Three steps later, he crossed a distance of ten thousand miles to Xuan Valley, and then arrived at the third Medicine Valley through the teleportation array.
After stepping out of the formation platform, he quickly walked towards the direction of the Xuanqing Tree.
The Xuanqing Tree is still there, and there is a person in front of the Xuanqing Tree, standing and watching.
Gu An looked from afar and sent a lifespan probe: [Zong Ying (Fourth level of Fusion Realm): 860/2800/3100]
This guy practiced a special method, and his apparent cultivation level was only the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Gu An became interested in the technique he practiced. Although his Mahayana consciousness could tell that he had hidden his cultivation level, he could not see it completely.
Gu An walked all the way to the Xuanqing Tree and said, "I am Gu An, the master of this medicine valley. I wonder who you are..."
Zong Ying was wearing a Taoist robe, had a pointed face, small eyes, and a goatee. He looked like a bad guy.
He smiled and raised his hand and said, "I am an inner sect disciple named Zong Ying. I passed by here and felt that this tree was extraordinary. Could it be the legendary Xuanqing tree?"
Gu An took a step forward, grasped his wrist with his right hand, exerted a little force, using the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and said with a smile: "It is indeed the Xuanqing Tree, do you want it?"
Zong Ying secretly found it funny. How dare a mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator fight with him?
The Taixuan Sect was really out of people, they actually sent a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to plant the Xuanqing Tree.
Yes, this way it won’t attract attention.
Zong Ying was ready to break free from Gu An's hand. He used the power of the Nascent Soul Realm and felt that it was enough to embarrass the other party.
However, the next second, his expression suddenly changed.
His eyes narrowed, his brows furrowed, and he began to struggle hard.
His expression changed again, with surprise appearing on his face, and then, his expression was replaced by fear.
How is that possible!
