Chapter 105 The Ascendant Attacks
"What bad news?"
Gu An asked. He could feel that Lu Baitian's breath was very weak, so he threw a lifespan probe.
[Lü Baitian (9th level of Fusion Realm): 764/2050/3200]
It doesn't look like much has changed.
etc!
His life span dropped by 1,100 years!
Gu An remembered that his previous lifespan was 3,150 years.
Could it be that he failed to pass the tribulation? Gu An was secretly shocked. No wonder in the evolutionary cultivation, every time he failed, he had to wait for many years before he could continue to pass the tribulation. The same was true in reality. Moreover, in reality, he might die directly. Even if he didn't die, he couldn't continue to attack the tribulation.
Lu Baitian took a deep breath and said, "I failed to overcome the tribulation and could not break through to a higher realm. I even need many years to recover from my injuries before I can recover to my peak level."
When Gu An heard this, his face changed drastically. He immediately became excited, took two steps forward, and asked nervously: "Master, are you okay? You must take care of yourself. Taixuan Sect cannot do without you!"
When Lu Baitian heard this, a smile broke out on his gloomy face, and Gu Zong also felt relieved.
Ji Hantian was unhappy and said, "What do you mean you can't live without him? If he dies, I'm still here."
Which deputy sect leader in the world doesn’t want to be the sect leader?
Is it really okay for you to be so straightforward? Gu An thought to himself, his face still full of worry.
"Don't worry, you won't die. But it will be difficult to reach a higher level in this lifetime. If you fail again next time, you will really die." Lu Baitian said dimly. Recalling the experience of transcending the tribulation, a lingering fear appeared on his face.
Gu An couldn't help but ask, "Is the Heavenly Tribulation so difficult? Even a great cultivator like you can't do anything about it?"
Ji Hantian snorted, "He can survive the tribulation, which means he has surpassed all the sentient beings in the Nine Dynasties. How many people and monsters have spent their entire lives and still cannot reach the state of fusion."
Gu Zong nodded and said self-deprecatingly: "I just can't reach the fusion realm."
Gu An took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "Let alone the fusion realm, I can't even touch the elixir realm."
His current apparent cultivation level is still at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
“Don’t worry. Even if I have to destroy all the elixirs and treasures from heaven and earth, I can still push you to the Jindan stage. But if you want to reach the Yuanying stage, that depends on your personal luck and opportunity. Even the sect can’t help you. Of course, you still have a choice, which is to become my disciple. I will directly pass on all my cultivation to you.” Lu Baitian waved his sleeves and said domineeringly.
Here they come again! Gu An was about to refuse, but Ji Hantian couldn't help but said, "Don't think about your cultivation yet. The Epiphyllum Sect is eyeing you covetously. They might come to kill you tomorrow. Even if they inherit your cultivation, they don't have your strength. The Taixuan Sect really can't do without you at the moment."
Gu Zong nodded and said, "I have contacted the great elders. I wonder how many of them will be able to come back."
When the topic turned to the Supreme Elder, Lu Baitian's attention was also diverted and he began to express his feelings.
It turns out that the reason why the supreme elders left Taixuanmen was to seek opportunities to break through to the fusion realm. Since ancient times, only one tenth of the supreme elders who left could come back, and among that one tenth, only one tenth succeeded in breaking through. The rest came back to live out the rest of their lives in peace.
When Ji Hantian mentioned his eldest true disciple, he believed that person was the most promising Taixuan Sect cultivator to surpass the fusion realm, even more likely than the supreme elders.
This made Gu An curious about the true disciple. What kind of talent did he have that made everyone in Taixuan Sect admire and look forward to him when they talked about him?
Gu An stood aside, listening quietly, and learned more about the past of Taixuan Sect.
Half an hour passed before the three of them finished their conversation.
"The most important thing I'm looking for you today is that we will send you more high-level seeds in the future, and you must cultivate them well. It is related to the future war between Taixuan Sect and Tanhua Sect." Ji Hantian looked at Gu An and said seriously.
Send seeds? The more the better! Gu An quickly assured: "No matter how many you send, I will do my best to cultivate them, and I will never be careless!"
Gu Zong said with a smile: "I like your enthusiasm. None of the other Medicine Valley masters are as serious as you. They either neglect their duties or embezzle the money. Work hard, and I will promote you to an inner sect disciple in the future."
Gu An hurriedly thanked him.
Afterwards, Lu Baitian and the other two got up and left.
When he walked out of the attic, Lu Baitian's complexion instantly recovered. As the leader of the sect, he couldn't let his disciples see him looking weak.
Gu An went downstairs and watched them go away.
He felt a little regretful. He wanted to ask Ji Hantian when the seventh-level spirit tree would arrive.
The news of the destruction of the Epiphyllum tree and the news of Lu Baitian's failure to overcome the tribulation did not spread in the world of immortal cultivation. At least when Ye Lan came to find Gu An, she did not mention these two things.
Ye Lan could not participate in the following Spring Festival because the Law Enforcement Hall had a big mission recently and had to be away for several months.
Gu An stood on the edge of the balcony, watching Ye Lan's figure disappear into the distance. He only looked away when she disappeared in the falling snow.
He looked at Yang Ni who was walking out of the woods. When Yang Ni passed by his building, he asked, "You said that the Epiphyllum Sect has no foundation, but it can attract so many monks to join. How stupid are the monks in this world?"
Yang Ni stopped, looked up at Gu An, and said, "Perhaps the Epiphyllum Cult has something they want?"
"Really? But I feel it's more like a scam. The Demon Exorcist Hall of the Outer Sect was like that before. Lu Jiujia trusted the Demon Exorcist Hall at the beginning and thought he could embark on a path of rapid advancement, but he was persecuted in the end."
Gu An said with emotion, he shook his head and said: "Looking at it, people in this world can't escape the word, that is competition. My Medicine Valley is better, there is no need to fight for anything."
After saying that, he turned and went back to the house.
Yang Ni frowned, she felt Gu An was pointing at her.
If Gu An guessed that she was related to the Epiphyllum Cult, why didn't he just say it directly? Yang Ni thought about it and decided to go talk to Lu Jiujia to see what Gu An was talking about.
…
As the winter snow fell, the seventh-level spirit tree promised by the Ji family finally arrived.
[Pure Yang Tree (Level 7): 2/8999/64000]
Gu An carried a sapling that was taller than a man and began looking for a suitable place to plant it.
In the end, he decided to plant the Pure Yang Tree in the open space in front of the attic, and he immediately called on his disciples to come and shovel snow and dig soil.
Upon hearing that this was a seventh-level spiritual tree, many disciples came over to watch the fun.
Even though the Chunyang Tree was still in its sapling stage, as soon as it was planted in the soil, the snow around it began to melt, making everyone around it feel warm, as if it were a fire tree.
This Pure Yang Tree is Gu An’s personal treasure, so he felt a sense of accomplishment when listening to the discussions of his disciples.
His eyes suddenly looked into the distance, and he saw a group of cultivators flying over the mountain on their swords, led by the outer sect elder Lu Songhan.
Behind Lu Songhan followed two hundred Qi training level disciples, all of whom had cultivation levels above the seventh level.
Huh? Why is she here?
Gu An saw that the ascended Lu Lingjun was also behind Lu Songhan. This guy's apparent cultivation level was the eighth level of Qi training, and he hid it very well.
Who could have imagined that this menial disciple was actually a ninth-level cultivator in the Fusion Realm who was comparable to Lu Baitian?
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
If a fight really broke out, Gu An felt that Lu Baitian might not be Lu Lingjun's opponent. Lu Baitian had only lived for more than 700 years, while Lu Lingjun was an old monster who had lived for nearly 2,000 years.
After Lu Songhan landed, he clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, these are the two hundred menial disciples I specially selected for you to use. I have already obtained the approval from above."
The reason for choosing menial disciples is that it is difficult for them to steal the herbs here. After all, this is the inner gate territory, and there is an entire outer gate city blocking it. There is no need to consider the safety issue, and the main thing is to use people.
Gu An stepped forward and exchanged greetings with Lu Songhan.
Lu Lingjun stood in the crowd and looked at Gu An. She was secretly curious. How could a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage be on good terms with a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage? Who was this person? The other chores disciples were very excited. This medicine valley was in the inner sect's territory. For them, this was a great opportunity.
After Lu Songhan left, Gu An called Xiaochuan and asked Xiaochuan to arrange for these menial disciples to move in.
He didn't look at Lu Lingjun for long, as he didn't want to be closely involved in the cause and effect with the ascender.
On this day, the newly arrived menial disciples were all building attics and then touring the Third Medicine Valley on their own.
Lu Lingjun was very surprised to see that there were two seventh-level spirit trees hidden in the third medicine valley.
Before ascending, she had seen a seventh-tier spiritual tree that was over 20,000 years old and larger than a mountain.
The foundation of the Taixuan Sect is really terrifying, she must take root here! In this way, Lu Lingjun behaved very diligently in the following days, so diligent that Gu An could not deliberately ignore her.
After the New Year, Gu An asked Xiaochuan to select ten people to be stewards of the Medicine Valley, responsible for supervising other miscellaneous disciples, and among the ten people selected by Xiaochuan was Lu Lingjun.
Lu Lingjun looked at Gu An with burning eyes, and that look made him very uncomfortable.
Her appearance was outstanding to begin with, and there was no female disciple in the valley who was prettier than her. Moreover, she performed so well, and if Gu An deliberately ignored it, it would only arouse suspicion.
Gu An faced the ten deacons of Medicine Valley, gave them a few words of encouragement, and then let them go.
Lu Lingjun came up and whispered, "Valley Master, I have something to tell you. Can we talk in your room?"
When Gu An heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement and took her to the attic.
The other deacons who had not yet walked far cast envious glances at Lu Lingjun.
Having good looks is also an asset!
After entering the room, Lu Lingjun closed the door, and Gu An walked to the desk and sat down, turning over the Qingxia Travels on the table.
Lu Lingjun came to the table, took out a secret book from his arms and handed it to Gu An.
Gu An took a glance.
Nine-turn Golden Body Technique!
The name is very intimidating! Lu Lingjun introduced in a low voice: "This is my family's martial arts method. I hope the Valley Master will not dislike it."
Gu An frowned and said, "What are you doing? Take it back quickly. It will be disgraceful if someone sees it!"
Lu Lingjun understood and put the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique into his arms, and took out a magic weapon from his storage bag.
"I said, don't mess around!"
Lu Lingjun changed another bottle of pills, saying that it could strengthen the qi, blood and meridians.
"You are using this to test me? You are questioning my awareness of Taixuan Sect!" Gu An stood up angrily and scolded in a low voice, as if he was afraid that the disciples outside the building would hear it.
Lu Lingjun cursed greed inwardly.
She suddenly thought of something and took out a long white jade bottle from her storage bag. She said, "This is Heavenly Spirit Water. Don't underestimate this bottle. Sprinkle it on the ground to gather spiritual energy and form a lake. The lake water can improve the surrounding soil and make the natural treasures grow faster. It can also condense spiritual beads every year. You can swallow it or use it to make pills."
Gu An took the bottle from her and said seriously, "Don't do it again. Tell me what you want, but you can't threaten the interests of Taixuan Sect."
Lu Lingjun smiled and said, "Valley Master, can you allow me to practice under the Xuanqing Tree?"
She had stopped in front of the Xuanqing tree before and saw a huge fat white rat. The fat rat seemed to be sleeping, but from her perspective, she could see that the fat rat had entered a mysterious state of enlightenment.
Seeing that everyone is urging me to finish, I continued writing one chapter. Don’t scold me, I don’t want to break the chapter. I have developed muscle memory from writing books for ten years QAQ First update today, a late-night bomb!
It seems that I can challenge the fourth update again today? Please give me some monthly tickets to give me motivation!
