Chapter 21 Li Ya Returns, Li Family Magical Soldiers

When Gu An took the first bite of the Cang Teng Fruit, he felt a heat flowing into his stomach, warming his whole body.

It worked! He immediately began to eat it in big mouthfuls, and soon, the huge cang vine fruit was eaten up by him.

As he digested, he called up the attribute panel and began to look forward to increasing his lifespan.

However, the wait lasted half an hour.

Life expectancy has not increased at all!

His energy and blood have increased significantly, and his physical strength is even stronger.

"What's going on? Is it because my realm is too high, or is this fruit only suitable for spirit beasts and demon beasts?" Gu An was secretly confused.

He looked at the white rat on the table. It was still sleeping soundly. Its lifespan had not continued to increase, but its aura was steadily increasing.

Wait and see!

The Bai Ling Rat slept for three days. When it woke up, it was as big as an adult cat. It threw itself into Gu An's arms and rubbed him affectionately, but its eyes were looking towards the cabinet behind it.

"Don't eat too much!"

Gu An, who was reading a book, snorted and said that if it was allowed to grow any longer, it would definitely cause trouble, especially since Xiaochuan and others would be curious.

People like Lu Jiujia and Ye Lan will go to the outer sect sooner or later, and Gu An doesn't want them to know too many of his secrets.

The Bai Ling Rat looked at Gu An pitifully and actually nodded, which made Gu An's eyes widen.

It actually understood?

Gu An pointed to the side with his right hand and said, "Come over here."

The white rat jumped over immediately without any hesitation.

He continued to give instructions, and as long as they were not complicated, the White Rat could do them, which made him like it more and more.

Finally, it looks like a spirit animal! Gu An picked up the white spirit mouse and took it out of the house.

It is autumn now, and all the parks are filled with dead leaves. Xiaochuan and others are cleaning them up, and the Medicine Valley is peaceful.

Gu An walked down the stairs, put the white rat down, and said, "Don't eat it carelessly."

After saying that, he pointed at the white rat's mouth. It nodded as if it understood, then turned around and jumped away.

Gu An looked at him with a strange expression.

Why does it look like a rabbit? Could it be that not only its lifespan has increased, but its genes have also been tampered with? Ye Lan was the first to notice the white rat. She was attracted by Gu An's attention, and then she saw a big white rat running towards her, which frightened her so much that her face changed drastically.

"There's a rat demon!"

Ye Lan screamed in surprise, immediately attracting the attention of Lu Jiujia, Xiaochuan, and Wuxin.

As soon as they saw the white rat, they were frightened. They had never seen such a big rat before.

"White Rat, slow down!"

When the Bai Ling Rat heard Gu An's voice, it immediately stopped, looked back at him, then turned and walked towards the forest, but its speed was not as fast as before.

Seeing this, Ye Lan and others put down their tools and ran towards Gu An.

"Big Brother, is that the white rat you raised? Why is it so big?"

"It should be another white rat, right?"

"It feels a bit clumsy, with bad legs."

"The bloodline of this spirit beast is not simple."

Listening to the discussions of his junior fellow students, Gu An smiled without saying anything and just let them guess.

Gu An looked at everyone and said, "I'm going to go to the outer gate in a while. Who wants to go with me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone except Wuxin wanted to go.

"Good opportunity!" Wu Xin remained calm but was extremely excited.

After a competition, Gu An finally chose to take Ye Lan and Xiao Chuan to the outer gate, and the time was set seven days later.

Why seven days? Because he planned to explore the Eight Scenery Cave Heavens first.

Gu An turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the valley. A figure was walking towards the entrance of the valley. It was Li Ya.

After not seeing each other for many years, Li Ya looked more vicissitudes and stern. His black clothes were blown by the autumn wind, and with the sword at his waist, he exuded the irresistible temperament of a cold and arrogant swordsman.

Xiaochuan and the other four also noticed Li Ya, and Li Ya's appearance made them nervous.

No matter who comes to their Medicine Valley, their status is basically higher than theirs, not to mention that this person looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.

Gu An checked Li Ya's lifespan and found that he had reached the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

That’s fast!

As expected, I am the first person with the protagonist's fate that I have discovered! Gu An immediately walked over, and the others followed closely behind.

Li Ya glanced at everything in the Medicine Valley. When his eyes fell on Gu An, he was a little dazed.

In the past, Gu An always followed behind others, but now he can lead other disciples. Things have really changed.

Gu An came up to him, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Li, long time no see."

Injured? Gu An could feel that his blood and qi were disordered, his breathing was shallow, and he obviously had internal injuries.

Li Ya smiled and said, "It's been many years since we last met. Where is Master, and where are Senior Brother and Meng Lang?"

Gu An said helplessly: "Master's time is coming to an end, and he left some time ago. After you left, Senior Brother also left the valley. As for Meng Lang, he went to participate in the outer sect assessment and never came back."

Hearing this, Li Ya was stunned.

Xiaochuan and others stood in the back, whispering. They roughly guessed Li Ya's identity. Meng Lang had said before that there was a royal family member who worked as a servant here and was on good terms with him.

Li Ya sighed: "So you are the only one left."

Gu An asked, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Li Ya nodded.

The reason he came here, besides wanting to return to his hometown, was also to recuperate here. Only here could he feel safe.

Gu An took Li Ya to the attic and signaled others to continue cleaning up the fallen leaves.

Arriving at the Valley Master's attic, when Li Ya stepped onto the stairs, the feelings in his heart reached their peak. He couldn't help coughing, and his face turned pale.

Gu An, who was walking in front, had a slightly changed expression.

He felt a faint soul fluctuation from Li Ya.

Wow! This guy really has an old man with him? Gu An turned around and asked with concern: "Brother Li, what's wrong with you?"

Li Ya waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I was just a little hurt."

"Are you injured? Then stay here for a while. There are plenty of places to stay in the Medicine Valley." Gu An said immediately.

Li Ya smiled and nodded, thinking to himself: "Junior Brother Gu is still so considerate, I have to help him this time."

The two men walked into the house. After Gu An asked Li Ya to sit down, he began to make tea for him.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Li Ya looked around the room and his eyes were quickly attracted by the cang teng fruits in the wooden cabinet.

During these three days, Gu An put most of the Cang Teng fruits into the storage bag, leaving only two in the wooden cabinet to prevent the white spirit rats from stealing them.

If the white rat really stole the food, he would be reluctant to kill it, so he simply hid the cang vine fruits.

“This fruit…”

Li Ya narrowed his eyes, but he didn't look for too long, his gaze soon fell on Gu An.

After not seeing Gu An for many years, when he saw Gu An again, he was actually amazed by Gu An's temperament. Although Gu An had a handsome appearance before, he did not have the eye-catching temperament he has now. He looked very much like a great monk from the inner sect, calm and with a hint of transcendence.

If he could not feel that Gu An's aura was only at the fourth level of Qi training, he would really doubt that the person in front of him was not the Gu An he knew.

While the water was boiling, Gu An came to the table and sat down to greet Li Ya.

In order to keep the atmosphere from getting cold, Gu An asked about the life of outer disciples, and Li Ya answered them one by one.

"To become an outer sect disciple, one must complete an outer sect bounty mission every year?" Gu An asked curiously.

Li Ya smiled and said, "Yes, and it's an outbound mission."

"Have you ever encountered a demon?"

"I encounter them almost every time I go out. The Taicang Dynasty is too big, and there are always places where demons are wreaking havoc. I almost died outside last year. It was a third-order demon beast, comparable to the Jindan realm. I fought fiercely with several good friends, but one of us died, and the rest escaped with serious injuries." Li Ya replied, and a look of palpitations appeared on his face when he spoke the latter part.

"Level 3? Core Formation Stage?"

Gu An's pretended shocked expression dispelled the depression in Li Ya's heart.

He began to talk about his specific experience at that time with a smile, and Gu An responded emotionally as if he was listening to a story.

In fact, he was indeed curious about Li Ya's experience.

After listening, he had only one feeling.

It's too dangerous!

Fortunately, I did not become an outer disciple.

"In addition to demons, you also have to be careful of other cultivators. During the treasure hunt, I had a conflict with a disciple from another sect. We fought for half a month and I finally killed him. Guess what happened?" Li Ya became interested and began to tell about other experiences.

Gu An guessed: "Is his father here?"

Li Ya looked at him in surprise and shook his head, "He's not his father, but almost. His master is here!"

Good boy! Gu An was even more thankful that he did not go through the outer gate.

If the outer sect disciples are in such a state, wouldn’t the inner sect disciples be in even greater danger?

Li Ya continued to narrate the story of his battle of wits and ferocity with his enemy master, making Gu An feel like he was listening to a storyteller.

Very exciting! After the water boiled, Gu An got up to make tea.

Li Ya asked casually, "Junior Brother Gu, are the fruits in the cabinet left by Master?"

Gu An turned his back to him and replied, "I found it outside. Have you forgotten that Bai Ling Rat is a treasure-hunting rat?"

Li Ya couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

Can it really be used to hunt for treasure? He suddenly wanted to raise a white rat.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Junior Brother Gu, can you give me a healing pill? I won't treat you unfairly. Do you want a secret book or a magic weapon?"

Gu An turned around, brought the tea to him and put it down. He said in a nonchalant tone: "I'll just give you one. You don't have to give me anything. What's the relationship between you and me?"

Li Ya was deeply moved when he heard this.

Although he had some good friends during his years in the outer sect, they were all based on profit. No one had ever treated him so well without asking for anything in return.

After Gu An finished speaking, he walked to the wooden cabinet, took out a Cang Teng fruit and placed it next to Li Ya's teacup.

His actions made Li Ya even more ashamed.

"Li Ya, Li Ya, you looked down on him and Medicine Valley before. Even though you joined the outer sect, you still have to rely on him to save you in the end..."

Li Ya laughed at himself in his heart, then he raised his hand and took out a sword from his storage bag.

The scabbard is green in color and inlaid with gems. The patterns on the scabbard are delicate and it looks rich and gorgeous. The hilt looks like a dark golden dragon coiled around it.

Li Ya placed the sword on the table, making a heavy and crisp sound.

Li Ya stroked the sword and said softly, "This is what my mother gave me. I'll give it to you. This sword may save your life in the future."

Gu An was amazed by the sword. Although he could only see the scabbard, he could feel the power contained in the sword. After all, he was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, and he saw more than Li Ya.

This is definitely a magical weapon!

Damn, I forgot the timer. The weather is so hot and cold!
