Chapter 19: Life barrier, breakthrough to the Jindan realm
Inside the Bajing Cave, the light from the fruits of the Cang Teng tree shines on the cave wall, and the rippling waves of the underground river are also reflected on the wall, making the cave quiet and beautiful.
Gu An walked to the vine tree, turned around and put his hands on his hips. Looking at the area he had planted, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
No pain, no gain! Cultivating immortals and farming is the romance he pursues!
Fighting, killing, intrigue, all stay away from him! Gu An was self-satisfied, and his eyes shifted.
He wanted to build a loft in the Bajing Cave so that he could hide in it and rest occasionally.
He is still young now, but in fifty or sixty years, he will be able to learn Cheng Xuandan and let his eldest disciple take care of all matters while he enjoys his life.
However, it is still too early to become the eldest disciple. After all, Medicine Valley is his base, and he must find the right person. Not whoever becomes his first disciple can take charge of all affairs.
Many plans popped up in Gu An’s mind.
First, he has to train a deputy valley master!
Ogawa is worth considering. Although he has poor qualifications, he is honest. The only thing is that he is too harsh in his words and treatment of others.
Lu Jiujia will have to go to the outer gate sooner or later, so he is directly excluded.
Ye Lan...
No, let her out as soon as possible to avoid destroying his Taoist faith.
If Wu Xin knows what's going on, then we'll have to wait and see! We'll have to recruit more disciples!
Gu An looked up while thinking.
He was very curious about the fruit of the Cang Teng tree. Some natural treasures are in the form of fruit. Would picking the fruit of the Cang Teng tree alone increase his lifespan? Just do it when you think of it!
Gu An leaped forward, raised his hand, grabbed a fruit and pulled it off.
He landed on the grass and admired the fruit in his hand. The fruit was as big as a pumpkin. He weighed it and estimated that it weighed about seven or eight kilograms.
Gu An took out a piece of spirit-protecting paper from the storage bag and wrapped the long stem at the top of the fruit to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out and causing loss of nutrients.
These are all money! About ten breaths later, a line of words popped up in front of him:
[You successfully seized the Cang Teng Fruit (Level 6) and gained 85 years of lifespan]
Wow! 85 years of life! Gu An's eyes changed when he looked at the Cang Teng Tree.
This is a money tree! It must not be pulled out! It must die a good death and be kept as a treasure in the future! Gu An became excited. He threw the cang teng fruit in his hand into the storage bag, and then counted the cang teng tree. There were sixteen cang teng fruits as big as the one just now. The other smaller ones could not be touched.
He immediately took action.
Some of the berries are grown very high up in the trees, so he has to climb up.
At this moment, he was extremely eager to learn the art of swordsmanship.
The Foundation Establishment Stage cannot directly fly in the air, and he has no other means of flying or staying in the air.
After struggling for a long time, Gu An finally succeeded in picking all sixteen Cang Teng fruits, and he gained a total of 1,360 years of life.
His total lifespan has reached eight thousand four hundred years!
Getting closer and closer to the 10,000 mark!
Do it in one go! After reaching 10,000 years, you can cultivate and then explore the other seven cave entrances. After checking them clearly, you can eliminate all potential dangers, so that you can live a peaceful life!
After Gu An made a plan, he began to implement it.
There are many medicinal herbs in Bajing Cave Heaven. He stares at his attribute panel while picking them. He will stop when his life span reaches 10,000.
Half an hour later.
A line of prompts appeared in front of Gu An.
[Your life span exceeds 10,000 years for the first time, and the life span barrier function is activated]
[Life barrier: consumes life. Opening the life barrier can block all spying, perception, and deduction. The life consumed is determined by your cultivation aura and the spiritual energy required.]
Life barrier?
Seeing the words "consume life span", Gu An frowned. Isn't this going to kill him? But after reading the explanation, he was pleasantly surprised.
His previous breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage caused such a big fuss, what will happen when he breaks through to a higher level?
If this continues, the entire Taixuan Sect will be alarmed sooner or later. Gu An was worried about this.
Now, he is not afraid anymore!
This function is too tricky!
I like it! Gu An walked towards the cave entrance while laughing.
After breaking through the Jindan stage, he would go to explore other cave entrances.
Although there are formations in the Bajing Cave Heaven, there may be dangers inside the cave, so he decided to break through outside and try out the longevity barrier.
No matter what is hidden in secret, he will not be angry! When Gu An returned to Medicine Valley, it was already late at night.
He has moved to the attic where Cheng Xuandan lives, where many secret manuals, alchemy books, and strange books are hidden. He will read them all later.
After entering the house, Gu An came to a wooden cabinet. This wooden cabinet was made of special wood, which could retain the spiritual energy of the treasures of heaven and earth as much as possible. This was what Cheng Xuandan had told him before. There were several such wooden cabinets.
He took out all the cang vine fruits and put them in the wooden cabinet.
He suddenly thought of something, took out another Cang Teng Fruit, and put it on the table.
He sat at the table, took out the Secret History of Qianqiu Pavilion from his arms, and read it quietly.
It was not until the second half of the night that the white rat finally came back.
It ran all the way to Gu An's shoulder, its little eyes fixed on the cang teng fruit on the table.
Gu An picked it up gently, placed it on the table, and waited for it to move.
The white rat walked to the cang vine fruit, sniffed the scent, then climbed onto the cang vine fruit and began to nibble on it gently.
Gu An had no idea what magical effects the Cang Teng Fruit had. There were no rare treasures above the fifth rank in the Herbal Record, so he could only try the White Spirit Rat.
He let the white rat make its own choice. It was a spiritual animal and if the cang vine fruit was poisonous, it should be able to smell it.
If it can't smell it, Gu An will bury it with great honor.
The fruit of the Cang Teng was ten times bigger than that of the Bai Ling Rat, and it was very difficult for it to chew it, so Gu An did not help it.
It’s boring to wait, so I might as well break through tonight!
Gu An stood up, then left the attic, walked out of Xuan Valley without anyone noticing, headed west, crossed mountains and ridges, and traveled nearly twenty miles.
He first jumped to the top of a big tree, looked around, and after making sure there was no figure or breath of a cultivator, he came to a meadow in the mountains to meditate.
I haven’t spent money on life for a long time, so I’m looking forward to it.
With the longevity barrier in place, Gu An can rest assured to evolve his cultivation this time.
"Let's test the waters for a thousand years."
Gu An thought, with his wealth and power, that with a life span of 10,000 years, what would it matter if he invested a thousand years at once? It was just a drop in the bucket!
He devoted a thousand years of his life to evolutionary practice towards his cultivation.
[You have been practicing Qi for thirty years, and your cultivation has broken through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm]
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
[You have been cultivating Qi for a hundred years, and your cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm]
[You have been cultivating Qi for 150 years. You used your great accomplishments in the Divine Tree Pure Yang Technique to forcibly reach the Core Formation Realm and began to transcend the tribulation. However, you did not survive the minor tribulation and failed to transcend the tribulation.]
[You have been cultivating Qi for two hundred years. You used your great accomplishments in the Divine Tree Pure Yang Technique to forcibly reach the Core Formation Realm and began to transcend the tribulation. However, you did not survive the minor tribulation and failed to transcend the tribulation.]
…
[You have been cultivating Qi for 450 years. You have used your great accomplishments in the Divine Tree Pure Yang Technique to forcibly impact the Jindan realm and begin to overcome the tribulation. You have successfully survived the minor tribulation, condensed the golden elixir, and entered the Jindan realm.]
[You have been cultivating Qi for 500 years, and your cultivation has reached the second level of the Jindan realm]
[You have been cultivating Qi for six hundred years, and your cultivation has reached the third level of the Jindan realm]
[You have been cultivating Qi for 720 years, and your cultivation has reached the fourth level of the Jindan realm]
[You have been cultivating Qi for 850 years, and your cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Jindan realm]
[You have been cultivating Qi for a thousand years, and your cultivation has reached the sixth level of the Jindan realm]
Lines of prompts popped up in front of Gu An's eyes frantically.
When Gu An saw that the previous six attempts to survive the tribulation had failed, he almost choked. This was too dark! Was it that difficult to survive the tribulation?
As the last line of instructions came down, Gu An's body began to move autonomously. He immediately felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was about to riot, and he hurriedly opened the longevity barrier.
[Opening the life barrier, life consumed: 0 years]
This line of prompt was hung directly in front of his eyes, and when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into his body, the number 0 jumped directly to 1.
"I hope the consumption is not too great..."
Gu An prayed silently.
As the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed into his body crazily, he felt his whole body was unobstructed and he had an indescribable sense of comfort.
This time, he didn't move during the breakthrough, so he didn't feel the pain.
With him as the center, waves of air appeared on the ground, rushing in from all directions and penetrating into his body. An invisible air shield could be vaguely seen, with a diameter of nearly five meters.
Gu An looked outside the barrier. There was not a single wave of wind or waves. The flowers, plants and trees were all calm, obviously not affected by him.
He was immediately curious, why was there no effect? Soon, he understood.
Once the barrier was opened, he absorbed the underground spiritual energy when he continued to practice.
Now he was completely relieved.
Before long, his cultivation reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the barrier consumed five years of his life, which made him feel distressed.
This thing is too expensive!
This reminded him of the experience of playing some mobile games in his previous life.
In one word, black!
Just as Gu An was secretly complaining, he suddenly saw a light above the distant mountains and forests. He squinted and vaguely saw the scene of monks fighting.
Ten miles away.
Above the forest, Shi Yang swung his sword and slashed out sword energy, which swept across the forest like a strong wind, causing the leaves to dance wildly.
Li Ya, dressed in black, stood on the top of the tree, holding his sword in front of him. A powerful energy burst out from his body, forming a light golden bell shadow, which blocked all of Shi Yang's sword energy.
Shi Yang's black hair was blown wildly by the strong wind. He showed a ferocious and unruly smile. He laughed loudly and said, "Li Ya, is this all you have? You want to fight with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince? Can you enter the inner gate alive?"
Li Ya's face was grim, and he glanced in the direction of Xuan Gu.
no!
If this continues, it will alert the people in Medicine Valley.
Li Ya didn't want to bring trouble to Gu An and the others, so he pushed his sword forward, dispersing the sword energy, and then flew in the opposite direction of Xuan Gu. Shi Yang chased after him closely, and the two of them stepped on their swords and quickly disappeared at the end of the night sky.
Gu An could not see clearly the monks fighting in the distance inside the lifespan barrier, but fortunately the lights disappeared.
He dared not relax. The life barrier could not be peeped, sensed, or deduced, but it did not mean that it would completely disappear. What if someone accidentally broke in? Time passed quickly as Gu An was in a state of anxiety.
The golden elixir began to condense in his body! When the life span consumed by the life barrier exceeded fifty years, he successfully condensed the elixir!
Although the lifespan barrier consumes a lot of energy, it is within Gu An's acceptable range.
Before starting, he was worried whether this thing would be too tricky and drain him dry in one go.
Now his worries vanished.
Another idea came to him.
It took only a thousand years to reach the sixth level of the Jindan realm. Should I continue to spend money? Gu An: Brothers, please give me monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. By the way, do you want to spend money or not? (End of this chapter)
