Chapter 121: Sword Intent Shocks the Sect
"don't want."
Gu An refused outright, saying that Taixuan Sect had just experienced a catastrophe, what kind of opportunity could there be? Lu Baitian was stunned, not expecting him to refuse so straightforwardly, and immediately said angrily: "Stinky boy, I haven't told you what the opportunity is!"
Gu An sat down and said, "I will not be the sect leader, I will not write books, and I will not accept any more interruptions from the Saint Son or Saint Daughter."
After hearing this, Lu Baitian laughed out loud.
"Is that the kind of person I am in your eyes?"
"I just don't want to cause trouble. Did I wrongly blame you? If so, then I apologize."
Gu An said seriously, Lu Baitian's face froze, he coughed fakely, and said: "Of course I misunderstood you, I came to see you for other things."
"What is it?"
"You should have heard of the Nine Nether Road. The Nine Nether Road has been blocked by the nine dynasties. All the sects have sent monks to guard it. Even if the leader of the Epiphyllum Sect attacks, it is difficult to shake it. Now the nine dynasties and all the sects are leading their disciples to the Nine Nether Road for training. There are monsters everywhere, and you can kill monsters and take treasures. The spiritual energy is also very rich, which is suitable for cultivation."
Lu Baitian said slowly, which surprised Gu An.
I didn't expect that the Nine Nether Road would become a place like a secret realm for training.
Gu An asked: "Didn't they say that the Nine Nether Road is very dangerous?"
"It is indeed dangerous, so there will be great cultivators leading the disciples in training. I just want to give you a place. When you enter the Nine Nether Road, someone will protect your life. You can practice, you can kill monsters, you can search for treasures. No matter what you do, someone will back you up. Isn't this a great opportunity? Later, Taixuan Sect is also planning to build a city in the Nine Nether Road for disciples to rest and practice..."
Lu Baitian spoke incessantly and in high spirits.
He felt that if the Nine Netherworld Road was well developed, Taixuan Sect would be able to take off. Perhaps in his hands, Taixuan Sect would be able to enter its most prosperous period in history, and his status in the history of Taixuan Sect would also rise.
Gu An listened carefully and felt that it was indeed feasible.
Lu Baitian seemed to want to reverse a phenomenon, that is, since ancient times, cultivators would leave the Nine Dynasties after reaching the Fusion Realm to seek opportunities. Lu Baitian wanted to enhance the foundation of Taixuan Sect and make Taixuan Sect stronger so that future disciples would not have to go out to seek opportunities.
The Nine Nether Road was his first step! He also planned to open an ocean road, led by the newly returned Xuanquan Patriarch.
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he was just about to mention unifying the continent.
Gu An listened with great interest and admired Lu Baitian's ideas very much.
The stronger the Taixuan Sect is, the easier it will be for him to enjoy the coolness.
After a long while, Lu Baitian finished his explanation. He looked at Gu An and asked, "How about it? Do you want to go?"
Gu An shook his head and said, "I won't go. I have to stay and look after Medicine Valley."
“It’s the same if you let someone else take care of it.”
"No, I'm worried. Well, actually I'm afraid. I always feel that the Nine Nether Road is very dangerous, and my actual combat ability is very weak. I won't go. How about this, I give my place to someone else?"
"You're not going, but you still want to share the spot?"
"At least I have contributed to Taixuan Sect. I have not taken any bribes in such a large medicine valley. Shouldn't you reward me?"
Looking at Gu An's confident look, Lu Baitian shook his head and laughed.
After thinking about it, he agreed to Gu An's request.
The same applies to giving the quota to people around Gu An, which will make Gu An feel more identified with Taixuanmen.
Lu Baitian just didn't believe that the position of the sect leader could not be given away, so he insisted on giving it to Gu An.
There is a long way to go, and one day, Gu An will take over!
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lu Baitian's face and his heart was full of anticipation.
"How do you think Taixuan Sect can become the number one sect in the Nine Dynasties?" Lu Baitian suddenly asked. He wanted to test Gu An and at the same time guide Gu An to the perspective of a sect master.
Gu An answered directly: "It's not good to go for force, it's easy to accumulate hatred, we can go for cultural invasion, just like the outer sect conference before, Taixuan Sect can hold various conferences in the future, such as battle formation, alchemy, sword fighting, talisman making, etc., and strive to make Taixuan Sect have a grand event that attracts the attention of the Nine Dynasties every few years. The initial investment may be huge, but as long as people in the world get used to it, they will slowly think that Taixuan Sect is the authentic one in the world."
"Imagine that you have just embarked on the path of sword cultivation, and you hear that the Taixuan Sect's sword competition is a must-attend competition for sword cultivators, and it is also an opportunity to make a name for yourself. You will subconsciously believe that the Taixuan Sect has a very high status in the way of the sword."
“When people in the world mention Taixuan Sect all the time, or in other words, when Taixuan Sect becomes the sect most frequently mentioned by people in the world, then Taixuan Sect will not be far from becoming the world’s largest sect.”
"Of course, the sect's own strength is the most important."
Gu An talked freely and after listening to Lu Baitian bragging so much, he wanted to brag too.
Lu Baitian soon became engrossed in listening. Seeing that he was listening attentively, Gu An became more interested in talking and even started to talk about the details.
It cannot just be a conference for the strong to compete with the weak. It would be better to have other conferences for comparing skills. These conferences can be held in different outer gate cities and inner gate cities to drive the economic development of each city.
He even suggested that various associations could be established among the disciples, such as an alchemy association, a swordsman association, etc., to facilitate communication among the disciples and also allow disciples with leadership skills to hone their skills.
Lu Baitian was astonished when he heard this.
It’s no coincidence that this guy was able to write The Investiture of the Gods. He really has great talent!
After Gu An finished speaking, he picked up a bowl of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and felt completely refreshed.
Lu Baitian looked at him with burning eyes and said, "You still say you are not fit to be the sect leader!"
Gu An waved his hand and said, "I don't have the qualifications to be a sect leader, I don't have a prominent background, and I don't have the courage and guts to implement development plans. The most I can do is offer suggestions."
Execution is the hardest part.
Gu An will never be the leader of the sect! Lu Baitian smiled, and then began to ask questions about the strategy that Gu An had just mentioned, and Gu An answered patiently.
Another half an hour passed before the two of them walked out of the attic.
Lu Baitian followed behind Gu An, still thinking about Gu An's thoughts.
As soon as he came downstairs, he said goodbye, saying that he was not in the mood to celebrate the festival.
Gu An did not try to keep him. Without Lu Baitian, the festive atmosphere in the Third Medicine Valley became more relaxed.
After the New Year, news of the training on the Nine Nether Road quickly spread throughout the Taixuan Sect.
Treasures, natural treasures, demon pills, spiritual energy, etc., all the various benefits of the Nine Netherworld Road began to spread wildly. It was obvious that Lu Baitian believed Gu An's words and focused on promoting the specific benefits of the opportunity, inciting the enthusiasm of the disciples and enhancing the disciples' sense of identity with the sect.
In the Law Enforcement Hall.
Ye Lan was summoned to meet the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall said with a smile: "Ye Lan, a place in the Nine Nether Road has been assigned to you. You are really amazing. Don't worry, the Law Enforcement Hall will not treat you unfairly and will help you enter the Nine Nether Road better."
Ye Lan was stunned.
The Road to the Netherworld?
The first person she thought of was Gu An.
Although she has been rooted in the Law Enforcement Hall for many years, how could she possibly have the chance to have an opportunity like the Nine Nether Road?
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
But she heard that there were only two hundred places in the first batch of the Nine Nether Road, and the outer sect had basically no chance.
The corners of Ye Lan's mouth curled up. She didn't feel any burden at all about being taken care of by Gu An, only surprise and sweetness.
Brother, brother, it seems that you still have me in your heart, but you are just being stubborn!
Ye Lan could also understand Gu An's thoughts. Love for one's parents could indeed easily interfere with one's cultivation.
Because of this, she must seize every opportunity to become stronger and prove her determination to her senior brother.
…
As winter goes and spring comes, all things come to life.
It was early March.
In the third medicine valley, Gu An squatted beside the Tianling Pond formed by Tianling Water. He had just released a group of carp in it. He watched them swimming freely in the pond and observed whether they could absorb the spiritual energy in the pond.
Lu Lingjun stood beside him and said, "If we raise them like this, maybe they will develop intelligence."
"Will the Tianling Water continue to expand?" Gu An asked curiously.
Lu Lingjun replied: "With the amount of water I gave you, it should be able to reach a diameter of ten feet."
After hearing this, Gu An felt it was a little small.
He was about to speak when suddenly, a sword intent came from afar, alarming the sky.
Lu Lingjun's face changed slightly, she turned her head and looked, her brows furrowed.
Gu An looked up and saw thunderclouds rolling in the sky at a very fast speed, rushing towards the inner gate.
The sword intent of Taicang Jingshen Sword!
Gu An could feel An Hao's breath.
Good boy, you’ve mastered the sword intent of Taicang Jingshen Sword so quickly!
Gu An felt relieved but also a little shocked.
An Hao's talent is truly incredible.
Lu Lingjun was surprised and said, "This sword intent is similar to the sword intent that Fudao Sword Master left on the Bu Tian Terrace, but it is far less powerful than Fudao Sword Master's. Could it be that Fudao Sword Master's disciple has just completed the sword path?"
Gu An asked curiously: "Disciple? How can you judge so clearly? I can't even feel it."
Lu Lingjun was not panicked, but said calmly: "Maybe I have seen others practice sword intent."
Having been a menial disciple for so long, she had already understood Taixuan Sect and was ready to move up.
If you want to improve your status, cultivation is naturally the most important thing! She doesn't plan to start as an outer disciple, but wants Gu An to introduce her.
The other side.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, a mountain peak emerged from the sea of clouds, like a fairyland. On the top of the mountain there was a man sitting in meditation, it was An Hao.
An Hao's white clothes fluttered violently, and a sword shadow condensed in front of him, exuding a vast aura.
Figures appeared out of nowhere around him, including Lu Baitian and Old Ancestor Xuanquan.
Gu Zong looked at An Hao and said in amazement: "This sword intent is..."
Another elder said in a deep voice: "Did Fudao Sword Master comprehend the sword intent from the Bu Tian Terrace?"
“No, it is definitely not enough to rely on the Bu Tian Tai alone. He must have inherited the legacy of Fu Dao Jian Zun!” a female elder said in a deep voice.
"He is the disciple of Fudao Sword Master? No wonder, such a genius actually took the initiative to join Taixuan Sect, and he has no background. It turns out that he is the disciple trained by Fudao Sword Master for us." Gu Zong said with emotion.
Lu Baitian stared at An Hao closely, his eyes flickering.
Patriarch Xuanquan stroked his beard and said, "What a domineering sword intent, it can be called the best sword art in the Taicang Dynasty."
His evaluation made the elders even more excited, and they began to discuss An Hao's background and qualifications.
Patriarch Xuanquan waved his sleeves, and large flags flew out from his sleeves, surrounding An Hao. The flags fluttered, and began to gather spiritual energy from heaven and earth, pouring into An Hao's body.
