Chapter 26: The World Outer Sect Conference
"What's the matter?" Gu An asked, praying in his heart that it wasn't a trouble.
He didn't want to get involved in the vortex of fighting in the outer sect.
Li Ya smiled and said, "Don't you like planting? I heard you say before that you also help a certain outer sect disciple take care of the cave. Now is the right opportunity. The pay is good. You can get a medium-grade spirit stone and a bottle of spirit pill for helping to manage the cave for a year."
When Gu An heard this, he felt relieved.
Naturally, he would not refuse something that could earn him more life. After all, he didn't practice much on weekdays and had plenty of time.
He began to inquire about the employer's identity, and Li Ya did not hide it. The outer disciple was Li Ya's good friend, and his cave was near the outer city.
After Gu An agreed, Li Ya immediately took him there.
Li Ya was flying on a sword, and Gu An stood behind him, riding on the same sword. The figures of the two attracted Xiaochuan, Ye Lan and others to admire them.
Who doesn’t want to fly with a sword?
The tall Tang Yu said with emotion: "It would be great if Master could learn the sword-controlling technique from Uncle Li Ya and then teach us."
Su Han, who was thin and handsome beside him, nodded. Although he had been in Medicine Valley for four years, he still yearned for the outer sect in his heart.
Not only him, but also Tang Yu and Zhen Qin.
Ye Lan didn't say much and pulled Zhen Qin back to the courtyard to practice.
The other side.
Above the mountains, Li Ya's sword was flying very fast. He looked straight ahead, his black clothes fluttering and his hair dancing, showing his unrestrained and uninhibited temperament.
"I noticed that there are more menial disciples in your Medicine Valley than before. Junior Brother Gu, you should try to recruit fewer disciples and invest more spirit stones in your own practice." Li Ya said earnestly.
Although Gu An always said that he was not talented, he always felt that there was still hope.
He didn't want to find himself still in his prime a hundred years later while Gu An would have already entered old age.
Li Ya has been a student of Taixuan Sect for so many years. He has a few good friends and some friends with benefits, but in his heart, none of them can compare to Junior Brother Gu.
Junior Brother Gu was the only one who treated him well without expecting anything in return, and he didn't want to lose such a friendship.
Gu An smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't worry. The reason why I recruit more disciples is because there are more gardens in the Medicine Valley. Every year, I hand in more and more medicinal herbs. The Pill Hall is also gradually improving my treatment. I will not give up practicing."
When Li Ya heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
"That's right, you are diligent and hardworking, and you will always achieve something."
"How can I compare with my senior brother? His reputation is so loud in the outer sect."
The two began to flatter each other. Li Ya usually hated such polite words, but for some reason, he felt inexplicably happy when these words came from Junior Brother Gu's mouth.
Two hours later.
Li Ya sent Gu An back to Xuan Valley, then flew away on his sword.
As soon as Gu An landed, he was surrounded by two disciples, Su Han and Zhen Qin.
They were curious about where Gu An had gone, and Gu An did not hide it. He said a few words and then sent them away.
Lu Jiujia's departure greatly stimulated the disciples of Medicine Valley, making it much quieter. Whenever they had free time, the disciples would practice in their respective rooms, hoping to catch up with Lu Jiujia as soon as possible.
Gu An returned to the house, picked up the Yin-Yang Secret and began to read it. Starting tonight, Jiang Qiong would teach him magic, and he was very much looking forward to it.
Who among the immortal cultivators would mind having too many spells?
Moreover, Gu An lacks many basic spells.
…
Late at night, Bajing Cave.
Under the vine tree, Jiang Qiong, dressed in white with her black hair casually spread out, looked like a fairy descending to earth. At this moment, her beautiful face was full of anger.
"Why are you so stupid? I've told you the secret of luck several times, why can't you remember it?" Jiang Qiong scolded, suppressing her anger.
She stood beside Gu An, her eyes fixed on the black energy in his hand.
She was teaching the art of soul-stealing, which was an extremely vicious technique that could take away a person's soul.
Gu An said helplessly: "Master, how long have you been teaching me? Can you be a little more patient?"
"It's not...it's just..." Jiang Qiong suddenly didn't know what to say.
Before she recovered, she had looked forward to teaching Gu An. After all, in her eyes, Gu An was a genius, but the result was different from what she expected.
This kid is so weird.
When taught the skill of wielding a sword, he mastered it immediately; however, when taught anything else, it was like the beginning of the path to immortality.
When it comes to kendo, Gu An is definitely the strongest genius she has ever seen, but the key is that she is not good at kendo.
"If I could learn everything easily, how could I have ended up as a menial disciple?" Gu An sighed.
Jiang Qiong held his breath for a long time before finally saying, "That's not so stupid, is it?"
Gu An's hand trembled.
He really is worthy of being a demon. His words are so hurtful!
Gu An got angry and said, "I also have my advantages. If we talk about swordsmanship, even you, Master, may not be able to compare with me!"
Jiang Qiong was immediately amused when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Then let's try it? We don't need any spiritual power, we can only rely on sword moves to spar?"
"OK!"
Gu An loosened his hands, the black air dissipated, and he stood up, ready to teach Jiang Qiong a lesson.
Jiang Qiong took two steps to the side, raised his right hand, stretched out his index and middle fingers, put them together, and said with a smile: "Since we are sparring, let's not hurt the harmony and use our fingers as swords."
Gu An nodded, put his left hand behind his waist and his right hand in front.
Jiang Qiong narrowed her eyes. For some reason, she felt a little panicked when Gu An raised his hand.
"What's wrong with me? Why am I scared by a foundation-building kid?"
Jiang Qiong secretly cursed herself for being useless and losing the arrogance she once had.
She immediately raised her finger and stabbed Gu An. With this move, she used the speed of the Jindan realm.
Gu An's right two fingers hit her two fingers horizontally, like a sword, knocking her arm away.
Jiang Qiong's eyes narrowed, and she took a step forward, passing by Gu An's side like a ghost, with her fingers pointing at his ribs like swords.
Gu An turned around, pointed his fingers downward, and stabbed them on the back of her hand, causing her to feel a stinging pain and she subconsciously withdrew her hand.
The two men moved around under the tree, countering each other's moves.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Jiang Qiong's attack was fierce, while Gu An's was smooth and flowing.
After thirty moves, Gu An obviously noticed that Jiang Qiong was getting anxious, so he revealed a flaw, allowing her to hit his abdomen, and he fell back with his stomach held high.
Jiang Qiong did not press on to pursue the victory. She stood up and stared at Gu An with burning eyes.
Gu An pretended to be in pain, he was frightened by her eyes.
What kind of look is that? It's as if she wants to eat him.
Jiang Qiong took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, I still underestimated your sword comprehension. Although your sword moves just now were not methodical, each move was simple and direct, and directly targeted the opponent's weakness. You are a sword genius that is rarely seen in a century. If you have a good teacher, you will definitely be famous throughout the world as a sword cultivator in the future."
Gu An shook his head and said, "Forget about becoming famous. If that happens, many people will come to trouble me. I hate fighting, let alone killing."
Jiang Qiong was stunned for a moment and found it very interesting.
It was the first time she met such a cowardly genius.
"Master was anxious and shouldn't have scolded you. Come on, continue practicing the soul-stealing technique. Although you are suitable for swordsmanship, you must master some spells so that you can be prepared for any eventuality." Jiang Qiong waved his hand.
Gu An immediately went forward and continued to practice the soul-stealing technique.
After some discussion, Jiang Qiong's attitude improved a lot, and she spoke in a gentle voice, which occasionally gave him goose bumps.
In this way, Gu An came to Bajing Cave every night to practice magic with Jiang Qiong. As long as he practiced a spell to the point where it appeared on the attribute panel, he would start practicing the next spell.
Jiang Qiong thought he was frustrated and did not force him, since she had many spells.
It was quite interesting for her to be able to teach the younger generation while recovering from her injuries.
In addition, Gu An would visit the outer disciples' caves once a month to look after the medicinal materials in the caves.
…
At the end of the year, the winter snow was flying, covering the sky and the sun.
Gu An, wearing a straw raincoat, walked up the mountainside and came to a cave. Just as he was about to take out the token, he suddenly realized something.
There's someone inside!
There is more than one person! Gu An wanted to leave immediately, but the communication in the cave stopped abruptly. If he left now, it would prove that he could penetrate the restriction and capture the situation in the cave.
He could only press the token on the mountain gate, and the gate opened.
He walked into the cave, passed through the cave passage, and came to the cave room. When he saw three people in the cave, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly bowed and saluted, saying, "Sorry, I didn't know you were back, I won't bother you for now."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
The owner of the cave was named Chen Li, who looked to be in his early forties, with a scholarly and elegant demeanor. He raised his hand and said with a smile, "No need, just do your thing, and we'll talk about ours."
Hearing this, Gu An could only turn back, salute again, and then walk towards the medicinal herb area not far away.
Gu An noticed the other two people, a man and a woman. The woman was Li Xuanyu, with whom he had fought before.
But that man was not Shi Yang, but another person. He was elegant and handsome, like a man who walked out of a painting. Even a man would be amazed by his appearance.
Li Xuanyu looked at Gu An. She obviously recognized Gu An, but did not speak.
Gu An secretly found out the life span of the handsome man.
[Xiao Chenjun (1st level of Jindan): 58/621/1508]
The first level of Jindan realm! Inner sect disciple?
After Chen Li saw Gu An start to pick herbs, he turned his head to look at Li Xuanyu and Xiao Chenjun, and sighed: "The World Outer Sect Conference is about to begin, and this time it is hosted by Taixuan Sect, so we are under a lot of pressure."
Xiao Chenjun smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? There are many geniuses in the outer sect. Even if those sects join forces, it will be difficult to suppress the Taixuan Sect. In the Taicang Dynasty, the Taixuan Sect is the strongest."
Chen Li shook his head and said, "I heard that the outer sects of Gu Hao Sect, Tian Jue Sect, and Qian Qiu Pavilion each have geniuses with dual spiritual roots, and they are deliberately stuck in their realms, waiting for this outer sect conference."
He paused, looked at Xiao Chenjun, and said resentfully: "Junior Brother Xiao, why don't you wait before breaking through? Your master should know about this."
Xiao Chenjun smiled and said, "Brother Chen, the World Outer Sect Conference will be held at least twice every hundred years. How can we cultivators care so much about winning or losing? Moreover, there are geniuses emerging from the Taixuan Sect every year. Don't worry, the burden will not be placed on you alone."
The three of them were chatting and laughing about the outer sect meeting. Most of the time, it was Xiao Chenjun and Chen Li who were talking, with Li Xuanyu occasionally interrupting.
