Chapter 29: Magic Shadow Skills, Jiang Qiong's Appreciation

"What secret technique?" Gu An asked expectantly. He had learned many spells from Jiang Qiong, but as for spells, the more the better.

After Jiang Qiong left, it would be difficult for him to meet such a dedicated master again.

Jiang Qiong took a bite of the chicken leg and said with a proud smile: "One of the nine secret techniques of our Qianqiu Pavilion, the Magic Shadow Technique!"

Demonic shadow magic?

sound……

Gu An frowned and asked, "Is this a technique?"

He has no shortage of skills. If he changes skills and starts over, he will have to rebuild his spiritual power. He doesn't want to waste his life.

"I've told you, it's a secret technique. The Magic Shadow Divine ability can make you a better spy. You'll know in a moment." Jiang Qiong said vaguely, his mouth full of chicken, almost unable to stuff any more.

Gu An's face twitched.

I don't want to be a spy of the devil! Forget it, I'll get rid of Jiang Qiong first, and then I'll speak the truth to people and lies to ghosts. When I travel around the world, my identity is given by myself.

…

At noon the next day, Gu An was reading a book under a tree. Seven steps away, Ye Lan and Zhen Qin were practicing sword skills with graceful postures. Unfortunately, they could not attract Gu An's attention.

"Big Brother, Senior Brother Li Ya is here!"

Xiaochuan ran over and said that there was a person following behind him, and it was Li Ya.

Gu An immediately stood up, put the Green Hero's Travels in his arms, and walked towards Li Ya.

"Let's talk upstairs." Li Ya spoke first.

Gu An nodded and took him upstairs.

Zhen Qin stopped swinging her sword, looked at Ye Lan, and asked nervously, "Uncle Master Ye, Uncle Master Li Ya is not here for those two demon cultivators from yesterday, right?"

"Maybe." Ye Lan looked back and said softly.

Inside the house.

Gu An sat opposite Li Ya. While pouring tea for Li Ya, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Ya said, "I plan to stay in Xuan Valley for half a year, is that okay?"

"Of course you can. You can stay as long as you want. Did anything happen to you?" Gu An responded without hesitation and asked with concern.

Li Ya hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Junior Brother Gu about what happened yesterday. If Junior Brother Gu knew these things, he might practice harder because of the pressure.

After hearing this, Gu An's eyes widened and he said in astonishment, "Those two people are dead? Will the Wan Yin Church cause trouble?"

Li Ya snorted, "He attacked me and Li Xuanyu. If he wants to cause trouble, it will be Taixuan Sect that will cause trouble for Wanyin Sect. In addition to Taixuan Sect, the court will also put pressure on Wanyin Sect. Li Xuanyu is my father's most beloved daughter."

Gu An asked in surprise: "Then they still dare to attack Senior Li?"

"Xu Ruye and Chan Ji have committed many evil deeds and used all means to do things. Chan Ji and Li Xuanyu had a feud in Yecheng before. Now that they finally found Li Xuanyu alone, they naturally refused to give up, and..."

Li Ya said disdainfully, but in the end, he still held back.

"And what?"

"nothing."

Gu An wanted to hit someone after hearing this, so why don't you just not say the word "and"! Li Ya looked at Gu An and asked, "Have you seen anyone else passing by Medicine Valley since yesterday?"

Gu An shook his head.

"You didn't see it. If that old senior from the Nascent Soul Realm hadn't intervened yesterday, Li Xuanyu and I would have been in great danger. That old senior's swordsmanship is truly terrifying. He can kill enemies by picking leaves. A ninth-level Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator is like a vegetable in a field of flowers in front of him. He can kill them with just one leaf..."

Li Ya became excited when talking about yesterday's battle, and he began to describe the situation at that time.

Gu An opened his eyes wide and took a breath from time to time, as if he was listening to a foreign language.

The Yuanying realm senior just threw out two leaves, but Li Ya used all the words he had learned in his life to describe it, and was very excited.

"Swords should be practiced like this. No sword is better than a sword. Whatever you hold in your hand is a sword, even me... In short, I have found my direction. From now on, I will concentrate on practicing swords and studying the way of the sword..."

Li Ya showed a longing look, and Gu An nodded, feeling secretly happy.

Brother, the senior you boasted about so much is right in front of you, but unfortunately, you are too inexperienced to see through him! Gu An interrupted Li Ya's fantasy and asked, "The World Outer Sect Conference is so grand, why doesn't the sect send disciples to patrol, or send people to guard us menial disciples?"

There are at least six caves of outer disciples within a radius of fifty miles around Xuan Valley. Although most people are not in the caves, as long as the sect gives the order, someone will definitely come.

Li Ya's smile disappeared, and he said quietly: "Think about it, why would someone in the sect dare to raise greedy and angry demons outside the outer sect? Isn't it because the sect doesn't take menial disciples seriously? But don't worry, I will stay until the end of the World Outer Sect Conference."

Gu An was silent for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you going to participate?"

"My cultivation is not high enough. If I participate rashly, I will only get hurt. Such a grand event must be dominated by those at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm." Li Ya shook his head.

These words made Gu An look at him with admiration. He was quite self-aware.

Of course, it could also be that Xu Ruye dealt him too great a blow.

The two chatted for a long time before going downstairs. Gu An asked Xiaochuan and Tang Yu to help clear out a yard for Li Ya to live alone.

Knowing that Li Ya would be staying for half a year, everyone in the valley was very happy. On the one hand, they had someone to protect them, and on the other hand, they could practice swordsmanship with Li Ya.

In their eyes, Gu An was good in everything except that he had too few spells and could not teach them. But Li Ya was different. He was a genuine cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm! In the days that followed, cultivators often flew over Xuan Valley on flying swords. Gu An also saw many flying magic tools and monster mounts, which made him sigh in his heart.

This is the world of cultivating immortals!

…

A month later, late at night.

Jiang Qiong leaned against the vine tree, her right leg swinging, her white and tender calf exposed from under her dress, shining brightly. She held a book in her hand, and her eyes glanced at Gu An in the distance, who was picking herbs.

She suddenly turned over, and the book in her hand flew into the pendant around her neck. She stretched her body.

"My dear disciple, stop busying yourself and practice the magic shadow skill first."

Jiang Qiong called out, she leaped and landed in front of the alchemy furnace, where elixirs were being brewed, with bursts of white smoke rising from the furnace lid.

Gu An said without even turning his head: "It's okay, I'll be done soon."

Jiang Qiong shook his head and laughed, thinking: "This kid is really hardworking, which is rare and precious. I have to make some pills for him."

After half an incense stick of time.

Gu An came to Jiang Qiong with the picked herbs. He arranged the herbs on the ground according to their categories, very meticulously, which made Jiang Qiong even more satisfied.

There is really nothing to choose from with this child!

Gu An harvested more than 1,300 years of life in one breath and was in a good mood. Such a harvest opportunity is not easy to wait for.

"Keep practicing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Jiang Qiong stared at the alchemy furnace and said softly.

Gu An nodded, and then began to practice the Demonic Shadow Art. He had been practicing this skill for a month, but it still had not entered his attribute panel, which made him very annoyed.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He had to master it now! Bajing Cave Heaven fell into silence. Gu An and Jiang Qiong sat in meditation near the alchemy furnace, and the alchemy smoke blurred their figures.

Another four days passed, and the Magic Shadow Art finally appeared on Gu An's attribute panel.

He looked at his attribute panel with a satisfied smile on his face.

[Name: Gu An]

【Lifespan: 27/12268】

[Spiritual roots: First-class five-element spiritual roots (wood and earth attributes are more prominent)]

[Cultivation: Nascent Soul Realm Level 8]

[Kung Fu: Fire Control Technique (not yet mastered), Divine Tree Pure Yang Technique (mastered), Dragon Power Divine Yuan Technique (mastered), Alchemy (a glimpse of the basics), Myriad Poison Mysterious Technique (not yet mastered), Yin and Yang Technique (not yet mastered)]

[Spells: Soul-stealing (not yet mastered), Sword-controlling (mastered), Soul-bewitching Eyes (not yet mastered), Poisonous Wood Formation (a glimpse of the basics), Wind-controlling (not yet mastered), Corpse-controlling (not yet mastered)]

If it can be viewed on the property panel, it means it’s all real!

Over a period of more than five years, Jiang Qiong taught him eight kinds of skills and spells.

Very competent! This also changed Gu An's opinion of her. Although she was a demon cultivator, her teaching attitude was better than that of the righteous.

Gu An stood up, bowed to Jiang Qiong, and said, "Master, let's stop here tonight. I want to go back and rest."

Jiang Qiong was still sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, with demonic energy lingering around her. She didn't even open her eyes and said, "Practice well when you go back. I will leave in two years at most."

Gu An said nothing and turned and left.

Jiang Qiong opened one eye and glanced at his back, thinking, "This kid seems a little sad. That's right. Where can I find such a good master? He looks lonely. When I go back, I will find someone to replace him. I will let him practice with me in Qianqiu Pavilion. Then I will ask my father to find that person to teach him the way of the sword."

Gu An turned his back to her and walked quickly towards the cave entrance.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and did not let himself laugh.

Finally, I’m leaving!

Although Jiang Qiong was very kind to him, he wanted to enjoy the Eight Scenery Cave Heaven alone.

After returning to the forest, Gu An did not go back to the building immediately. He hurried towards the distance, preparing to find a place to invest one year of his life in his cultivation.

He felt that he was close to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, perhaps in the next few days.

Even though he felt the time was approaching, he exercised self-control and only invested one year of his life each day.

After walking twenty miles away, Gu An sat in meditation under a tree. He suppressed his breath to the lowest level, almost indistinguishable from flowers and plants.

He immediately invested one year of his life into cultivation, and soon after, spiritual energy surged towards him.

The surrounding flowers and plants swayed as if cheering for him and wishing him a breakthrough soon.

Soon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth returned to calm, indicating that he had completed a year of Qi absorption practice.

Gu An stood up and prepared to leave. Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly realized something and immediately hid behind a tree.

About four breaths later, two sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and they passed over the sky above Gu An's head.

Gu An's eyesight was unmatched by ordinary people. He caught the figures of the two people and quickly sent out two lifespans to investigate.

[Zuo Yijian (9th level of Jindan realm): 142/490/980]

[Zuo Lin (Second Level of Foundation Establishment): 27/280/1400]

The ninth level of the Jindan realm! Gu An was secretly curious, wondering where these two people came from.

After they walked away, Gu An quietly returned to Xuan Valley.

The next morning, he led his disciples in exercises as usual, and Li Ya greeted him and said he was going to the outer gate.

It was not until noon that Li Ya returned on his sword, and he brought back someone.

It was Zuo Lin that Gu An had detected last night.
