Chapter 12: Foundation Building, Dark Night
Seeing Gu An suppress Meng Lang with one kick, Xiaochuan, Lu Jiujia and Ye Lan were extremely excited.
Normally, Meng Lang always boasted that he was the strongest in Medicine Valley, but he didn't expect that today he lost control and was forced to kneel down by his senior brother! No wonder the senior brother was not Meng Lang!
Master has a keen eye! Gu An looked down at Meng Lang who was kneeling in front of him and said, "Are you still not awake?"
His spiritual power flowed into Meng Lang's body along his right leg, forcibly smoothing out the chaotic spiritual power in his body.
Meng Lang's breathing began to steady, the bloodshot in his eyes began to fade, and his ferocious expression gradually returned to normal.
Seeing him wake up, Gu An slowly retracted his legs and then supported him.
Meng Lang woke up suddenly. He looked up at Gu An and gasped.
"Gu An...I...what happened just now?" Meng Lang asked with difficulty. The blood and energy in his body were shaking, making it difficult for him to speak.
Gu An replied: "You seem to be possessed."
When Meng Lang heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Xiaochuan and Lu Jiujia's expressions suddenly became strange.
Ye Lan subconsciously wanted to answer, but Gu An forced her to step forward and said, "Fortunately, you restrained yourself at the critical moment."
Meng Lang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He forced a smile and said, "That's... I'm the real senior brother, how could I hurt you..."
Ye Lan looked at Gu An, her eyes full of admiration.
The eldest brother is not only powerful, but also gentle!
Xiaochuan and Lu Jiujia had the same idea and looked down on Meng Lang.
That sounds good, but it was like a ghost just now! Gu An asked Xiaochuan and the other two to leave, and he helped Meng Lang back to the house.
"What kind of martial arts are you practicing? Isn't it too weird?" Gu An asked. Although he had a very bad opinion of Meng Lang, after all, they lived together day and night. If possible, he still hoped that Meng Lang would be safe.
Meng Lang laughed and said, "Of course it is a magical skill... but my talent and understanding are not enough, so it is easy for me to make mistakes when practicing. But there is no other way. I must become an outer disciple..."
Gu An asked in confusion: "Why do you have to become an outer disciple? Didn't you not care before?"
Meng Lang's face darkened instantly and he fell into silence.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Gu An didn't ask any further questions. After helping him to the bed, Gu An turned and left.
This incident was just a small episode for Gu An. He could not control the fate of others. Everyone had his own pursuits. It would not be a pity if someone died on the road to becoming an immortal.
Coming to the yard, Gu An continued to practice the Eight Direction Steps.
…
Winter goes and spring comes, it’s another beautiful year.
In the early morning, there was still ice and snow in the Medicine Valley, and Gu An took his fellow apprentice brothers and sisters up the mountain.
"Cutting down trees and pulling out their roots is also a form of cultivation. You can use your own spiritual power to do it. When your spiritual power is exhausted, you can continue to practice. This will help improve your cultivation."
Gu An, dressed in green, stood in the woods, laughing softly, with his hands behind his waist, showing the demeanor of a master.
That day, he subdued the possessed Meng Lang with one kick, and successfully established himself as a master in the eyes of his fellow disciples.
Gu An even felt that his junior sister had other thoughts about him and was pestering him more and more. Fortunately, he guided Ye Lan to practice in time to divert her attention.
How can a cultivator talk about love?
Gu An doesn't want to fall into the whirlpool of emotions too early in this life, as he would get lost.
Xiaochuan turned around and asked, "Big Brother, should we use our hands or our legs?"
Gu An kept smiling and said, "Whatever is convenient for you, cultivation is one thing, completing the task is another, you must find the right direction."
Is this how Zhang Chunqiu felt before?
It’s fun to talk nonsense!
"Senior Brother Xiaochuan, let's see who is faster!" Lu Jiujia said, rubbing his hands.
Xiaochuan agreed immediately, and Ye Lan also clamored to join in, but unfortunately she was ignored by the two men because they didn't like fighting with women.
Gu An watched them pull out the trees while planning the new park.
What kind of medicinal herbs should be planted on this mountain?
Gu An fell into deep thought.
Although Xiaochuan and the other two were cultivators, their cultivation was not high. It took them half a day to clear out a piece of land. Gu An brought the seeds of the third-level medicinal herb Soul-Shaking Grass and asked them to plant it.
After doing all this, the brothers went down the mountain together, talking and laughing. It was just as the sun was setting, and their shadows lengthened on the hillside.
Gu An asked his junior brothers and sisters to talk about their goals. The goal of the three of them was to enter the outer sect, but their motives were different.
Xiaochuan simply wants to become stronger, Lu Jiujia wants to prove something to his family, and Ye Lan seems to have some unspeakable secrets, so she speaks vaguely.
Gu An listened with great interest. He believed that everyone should have their own story.
Listening to different people's stories can also make his life more fulfilling.
…
A month had passed since the Soul-Shaking Grass was planted. On this day, the night was moonlit and the stars were sparse.
Gu An was in the house, meditating on the bed. He was looking at his attribute panel and was confused.
[Name: Gu An]
[Lifespan: 20/3163]
[Spiritual roots: First-class wood spiritual roots, four good spiritual roots (can be used to cultivate lifespan evolution)]
[Cultivation: Qi Training Level 9 (Can be used to cultivate lifespan evolution)]
[Kung Fu: Fire Control Technique (not yet mastered), Divine Tree Pure Yang Kung Fu (mastered), Dragon Power Divine Yuan Kung Fu (mastered), Alchemy (beginning of the art) (can be used to practice Life Evolution)]
[Secret Skills: Wild Wind Shadow Leg (mastered), Li Family Seven Swords (not yet mastered), Eight Direction Steps (not yet mastered) (can be used to practice Life Evolution)]
Do you want to invest your life to reach a new level of cultivation?
Cheng Xuandan has the ability to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. Now that he is so good to Gu An, he may be able to seek for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
However, Meng Lang's abnormality made Gu An wary of Cheng Xuandan again.
Meng Lang does not have a prominent background. If he had magical skills, he could have practiced them long ago. Why did he wait until Li Ya and Zhang Chunqiu left before starting to practice?
With Gu An's current senses, he can be sure that Meng Lang has not had any contact with strangers in the past two years. At most, he was summoned by Cheng Xuandan. He would not eavesdrop on the conversation between the two every time.
That's all.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others, be safer!
If you are not careful on the road of cultivating immortals, you will be shattered to pieces!
Gu An immediately devoted one year of his life to practicing evolution.
[Special reminder, cultivation is a real existence, and the evolution process turns the virtual into the real, and its consumption will exceed the lifespan used in actual cultivation]
[You focused on Qi training for a year, but because you didn’t have the Foundation Establishment Pill and lacked the opportunity, you were unable to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage.]
Two lines of prompts appeared in front of Gu An. Because he failed to break through successfully, his cultivation did not improve.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Gu An remained calm and continued to invest year after year.
Failure, failure, failure...
After nine times, he couldn't hold back his expression any longer.
Damn! I don't believe it! Vote for a hundred years!
Gu An, who was furious, directly devoted a hundred years of his life to practicing evolution.
[You have been practicing Qi for ten years. You used your great attainments in the Divine Tree Pure Yang Technique to force your way through the Foundation Establishment Stage, but ultimately failed to break through.]
[You have been practicing Qi for twenty years. You used your great attainments in the Divine Tree Pure Yang Technique to forcibly impact the Foundation Establishment Stage and finally succeeded in breaking through.]
[You have been cultivating Qi for thirty years, and your cultivation has broken through to the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm]
[You have been cultivating Qi for fifty years, and your cultivation has reached the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm]
[You have been cultivating Qi for seventy years, and your cultivation has reached the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm]
[You have been cultivating Qi for a hundred years, and your cultivation has broken through to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm]
Lines of prompts popped up in front of Gu An's eyes frantically.
He felt something was wrong before he could even be happy. How big a commotion would it make if he broke through so many levels?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, his body began to heat up, and the Shenmu Chunyang Gong started to work automatically. He quickly stood up and jumped out of the open window.
His steps were extremely fast and silent. In less than three breaths, he rushed into the forest, pushed his feet against the mountain wall, and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain like a monkey. At this time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was already rushing towards him.
He leaped forward and fell into the dark woods. His right foot stepped on a branch and he used the force to rise up. After a few jumps, he landed easily.
Spiritual energy rushed into his body frantically, causing a cyclone to form around him.
The speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy was getting faster and faster, which made him secretly scared. Fortunately, he reacted too quickly. If he really broke through in the Medicine Valley, he would definitely disturb others.
Cheng Xuandan and Meng Lang might not dare to come out, but Xiaochuan and Lu Jiujia, two young men, would definitely come out.
As Gu An thought about it, he rushed forward quickly, as fast as a fox. In the dark night, the woods swayed, making a rustling sound.
Relying on the Gale and Shadow Kick, Gu An ran at an extremely fast speed, crossing mountains and rivers.
He was getting further and further away from Medicine Valley.
Before he stopped, his cultivation level began to break through, and spiritual energy violently impacted his eight extraordinary meridians, while also causing his dantian to transform.
It hurts so much!
Gu An frowned, but did not slow down.
After running for more than ten miles, he finally stopped in a forest and meditated under a tree.
He was practicing his skills while sighing.
He never expected that a lifespan of a hundred years would allow him to break through from the ninth level of the Qi training realm to the fifth level of the foundation building realm.
It seems that the life span taken away is real. Of course, the main reason why he could break through so quickly is his mastery of the Shenmu Chunyang Gong.
If he invested a thousand years of his life, would he be able to reach the Jindan stage in one go, or even the Yuanying stage? Gu An fell into endless fantasies.
He absorbed more and more spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, and the forest seemed to be in a strong wind, shaking violently, with leaves falling everywhere, like demons and monsters baring their fangs and claws in the dark night.
"This is a bit exaggerated..."
Gu An secretly groaned. The disadvantage of using his lifespan to evolve his cultivation level appeared. Too much noise would easily bring trouble.
After evolution, the cultivation level does not increase out of thin air, but all the spiritual energy needed is compressed into a period of time to achieve a rapid breakthrough.
There was such a commotion when he went from the ninth level of Qi training to the fifth level of foundation building. Wouldn't it be earth-shattering when he broke through from the Jindan level to the Yuanying level? If he attracted other cultivators during the breakthrough, it would be bad.
Gu An is used to considering the worst case scenario.
no!
I have to be more careful in the future!
Gu An decided to devote one year of his life to cultivation every day, and make progress step by step.
Time passed quickly, and a strong wind blew under the night sky. Gu An's robe fluttered and the spiritual power in his body increased rapidly.
After a while, his demeanor suddenly changed.
The foundation has been laid successfully!
The transformation of his Dantian generated spiritual energy at a faster rate, while also stimulating his muscles and bones to become stronger.
It’s not over yet!
His cultivation continued to rise, and billowing dust mixed with grass debris swirled around him with a mighty momentum.
