Chapter 18: Wan Gu Xuan Gong, 7,000 Years of Life
Only after the cave entrance was completely closed did Gu An continue walking along the tunnel.
Relying on the spiritual awareness of the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Gu Anru walked in the daylight without any hindrance, and the cave became wider and wider, as if there was no end.
Gu An was even more curious about Cheng Xuandan’s master. What kind of extraordinary person could build such a huge underground tunnel?
The tunnel meandered downwards for more than ten miles, but Gu An still hadn't reached the end.
He could now be sure that the area beneath the stone slab was connected to the underground tunnel.
A gust of spiritual wind came from the cave in front and blew on Gu An's face, making him feel refreshed.
Light began to appear in the cave ahead, and crystal stones of different colors were seen inlaid on the cave walls. Gu An felt them carefully and found that they were not spiritual stones, which disappointed him greatly.
If they were all spirit stones, he would make a fortune!
Gu An thought as he moved forward.
His senses were always in a tense state. Although Cheng Xuandan treated him very well until the end, he did not dare to be careless when he thought of what Cheng Xuandan did to Meng Lang.
What if Cheng Xuandan was acting? After walking for several miles, Gu An saw that the cave ahead had become very bright, and he heard the sound of water.
We’ve reached the cave entrance!
Gu An moved forward cautiously. He came to the cave entrance and looked into the underground space ahead. His eyes widened.
“It’s really sent…”
Gu An murmured to himself, with surprise in his eyes.
Following his gaze, there was a vast underground space in front of him, which was several times larger than the Xuan Valley. The distance from the ground to the ceiling was over a hundred feet. A giant tree over a hundred meters high stood in the middle of it. Its trunk required more than a dozen people to hug it. The branches and leaves were not numerous, and they were laden with fruits that looked like lanterns. These fruits were crystal clear and glowed with blue light.
Under the tree was a lush grassland, and next to it was a two-meter-wide underground river, right at the edge of the underground space, against the mountain wall.
[Cang Vine Tree (Level 7): 245/9999/87600]
The maximum lifespan is 87,000! The current lifespan is nearly 10,000! When Gu An saw this prompt, he suddenly had the urge to pull up the tree, but he restrained himself.
According to Cheng Xuandan, this seventh-tier spirit tree is the key to the underground formation. It presides over the entire formation, allowing other natural treasures to grow freely. The spiritual energy gathered from those natural treasures will activate the formation, and then feed back to the seventh-tier spirit tree.
By pulling out the vine tree, Gu An lost a piece of planting site with great potential.
At the same time, this place can also be used as his cave. The formations set up by Master Cheng Xuandan are very rich. He can practice and break through here without any noise being leaked out.
Gu An glanced around and saw dozens of distinctive stone statues inlaid on the cave walls in all directions. There were also special runes between the stone statues, which looked mysterious.
He stepped out of the cave, and as soon as he came in, he caught a glimpse of a stone tablet standing next to him, with four words engraved on it: Eight Scenery Cave Heaven!
Gu An took a look and continued walking into the cave.
Along the way, he explored the service life madly.
There were third- and fourth-grade spiritual herbs and flowers all over the ground. The closer to the Cang Teng tree, the higher the grade of the herbs, which dazzled him.
With such a huge treasury hidden, Cheng Xuandan couldn't even build his foundation? Gu An didn't know whether to sympathize with Cheng Xuandan's poor aptitude or his poor alchemy skills.
Even if his alchemy skills are not good enough, he can sell some herbs in exchange for spirit stones, or ask the alchemists of Taixuan Sect to help him make pills.
In Gu An's opinion, if a sect like Taixuan Sect really had the resources, it should not be difficult to produce a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Cheng Xuandan is afraid that his identity will be exposed.
Gu An walked to the vine tree. Standing under the tree, he could feel the vast atmosphere and vitality of the vine tree even more.
He walked around the vine tree and saw that there was not just one entrance to the Bajing Cave, but eight in total.
He suspected one of the openings would connect to the slab he had found earlier.
He had no idea of exploring other cave entrances for the time being. He turned around, took out the Herb Record from his storage bag, and began to refer to it one by one.
If it is ripe, just pick it! Some of the herbs you pick can be taken to the outer gate to exchange for more high-level seeds for continued development! Gu An was excited just thinking about it.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Gu An had already picked more than 130 third-level herbs and madly harvested more than 900 lifespans, making his total lifespan soar over the 5,000-year mark.
The identity of this evil spy is worth it!
Gu An was in a very excited mood. There were a lot of medicinal herbs planted in the Bajing Cave Heaven. He had only harvested one tenth of them now, and those were the lowest grade herbs.
From now on, this will be his cave, his secret base! Just as Gu An was about to bend down to pick the next herb, he suddenly heard a noise and immediately turned around, looking towards a cave entrance in the distance.
The entrance to the cave is pitch black, and it looks scary and terrifying.
Gu An moved to the side.
The grass was not entirely covered with medicinal herbs, there were also ordinary weeds. He suspected that a battle was about to take place, so he had to move so as not to affect his herbs.
That's his life! Gu An walked towards the underground river, his eyes fixed on the cave entrance.
Soon, footsteps and heavy breathing were heard from the cave entrance, as if a wild beast was about to rush out.
A foot stepped out of the darkness, and when Gu An saw the true face of the person coming out of the cave, he couldn't help but frown.
It turned out to be Meng Lang! At this moment, Meng Lang had disheveled hair, ragged clothes, bare feet, blood streaks all over his neck, and his face was even redder, as if he had been burned, his eyes were filled with bloodshot, and white air was coming out of his mouth.
"roar--"
Meng Lang roared at Gu An and rushed towards him.
He was moving very fast and was getting closer and closer to Gu An.
Gu An did not retreat but instead stepped forward and rushed forward.
The distance between the two sides was rapidly shortening, and grass clippings were splashed along the way.
Meng Lang leaped up and tried to knock Gu An down, but Gu An turned his body sideways and hit him in the abdomen with a knee, knocking him back.
Gu An’s brows furrowed even more tightly, and his right leg felt a little numb.
Good guy! How did Meng Lang become so hard? Gu An felt that even the Greedy Demon Ghost was not as hard as him. Although he did not use his full strength or his spiritual power, he could roughly judge.
The reason why he held back was that he wanted to see if Meng Lang could still survive.
He shook his right leg and charged towards Meng Lang again.
Meng Lang fell on the grass, but he seemed to feel no pain. He immediately got up and pounced on Gu An.
Gu An put his right foot forward, forcing his body to stop, then raised his left leg, pouring spiritual power into it, and performed the Gale and Shadow Kick.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
A strong wind rose from the ground, and a series of leg shadows fell on Meng Lang, knocking him out again. After landing, he rolled more than ten times before stopping.
His hands and feet were visibly twisted. He tried to get up, but fell down the next second, with his forehead hitting the grass heavily.
Gu An retracted his legs, a look of curiosity showing on his face.
Is Cheng Xuandan’s medicinal poison so powerful?
He has such a strong physique at just the first level, and it feels no less powerful than the Greedy Demon Ghost! How could Cheng Xuandan be comparable to the great cultivator behind the Greedy Demon Ghost? Gu An was more and more certain that Cheng Xuandan was hiding something, and it was probably related to his master.
He walked up to Meng Lang and looked down at his hideous, demon-like body. He was in hesitation, not knowing what to do.
"He's dead anyway, why should I care about his identity in life?"
Gu An's eyes flickered, and the grass and dust around his feet began to slowly roll up, which meant that he was practicing his internal energy.
At this time!
Gu An saw a corner of a book sticking out of Meng Lang's arms. He immediately reached out and used his spiritual power to pull the book out from the air. The book quickly flew into his hands.
"Ten Thousand Gu Mysterious Art..."
Gu An recited it softly. He flipped through it briefly. It was a martial arts manual, and it was still a fragment. There was an obvious gap in the content on the last page.
In addition to the previous methods of cultivation, there are five kinds of witchcraft recorded in the back, and each witchcraft has a picture. He compared them and finally found the witchcraft that Meng Lang was poisoned by.
Flame Corpse Gu! "Those who are infected with the Gu will have flames in their bodies, their flesh will be as hard as deep rock, and their strength will be immense... There is no medicine to cure them, no magic to cure them, until they are crushed to pieces..."
After Gu An finished reading it, he couldn't help but look at Meng Lang with sympathy in his eyes.
How pitiful.
The Wan Gu Xuan Gong records the method of curbing the Flame Corpse Gu. One only needs to cover its seven orifices to prevent the worm from absorbing spiritual energy, and the worm will fall into a state of suspended animation, making the worm unable to move.
He immediately sealed Meng Lang's seven orifices with mud, then he stood up and looked at the cave where Meng Lang came from.
He did not go exploring immediately, but put the Wan Gu Xuan Gong into his storage bag and turned around to continue picking herbs.
Even if Cheng Xuandan's master was still alive, the other party did not attack him, a Qi training cultivator, either because he had no intention of killing him or because he was unable to act. In this case, why would he alarm the enemy? The longer the time, the better it would be for Gu An.
Half an hour later.
Gu An left Bajing Cave Heaven with great satisfaction. His life span had reached an astonishing 7,000 years! He harvested all the third-level herbs that could be harvested. Next, it was time to sow seeds. It would take many more years for the new seeds to mature.
After the third-level herbs are harvested, the fourth-level herbs should be harvested! In order to prevent the ecological environment of the formation from being destroyed, Gu An did not harvest all the mature herbs in one go. He harvested some and planted some. This is a sustainable and effective benign development! Moreover, even if the herbs are mature, they can be left behind. The longer they live, the more life they can take away. Of course, there is a critical point, and Gu An is still observing.
…
The next morning, the new leader of Xuan Gu, Gu An, walked out of the room early. As soon as he came out, he urged his fellow disciples to come out.
After hearing Xiaochuan's response, he walked towards Ye Lan's courtyard again.
"Junior sister, it's time to come out." Gu An shouted.
"Okay, big brother."
Ye Lan answered quickly, more actively than her fellow apprentices.
Before long, everyone stood in front of Gu An.
Gu An glanced at them and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you will become uncles in the future. I will recruit miscellaneous disciples, and they will be my disciples and your nephews."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited and rushed to discuss the future. No one mentioned Cheng Xuandan. It was not because they were heartless, but because they had agreed privately not to mention Cheng Xuandan for the past month.
Gu An gave a few words of encouragement, then began to lead his fellow junior brothers and sisters in exercises to stretch their muscles. Afterwards, he had to go to the Bajing Cave to plant flowers and plants.
