Chapter 30: Nascent Soul Realm Ninth Level, Wood Spirit Sword Technique

"Junior brother Gu, let me introduce you. This is my childhood friend, Zuo Lin. He wants to discuss swordsmanship with me. Let him live in my courtyard." Li Ya came to Gu An and introduced him to him.

Zuo Lin was dressed in yellow and had a handsome face. He could not hide the arrogance between his brows. He wore a sword on his waist, which was obviously of high grade.

Li Ya introduced Gu An to Zuo Lin, but he just nodded slightly at Gu An without saying anything.

Gu An was not surprised at all. He smiled and said, "Then Senior Brother Li, you can take him to stay."

Li Ya nodded, his eyes revealing an apologetic look.

Zuo Lin pulled Li Ya forward and said excitedly, "Ji Lin of the Ji family was really amazing today. Did you see his sword skills? They were extremely exquisite. I think he has a chance to become the final winner."

Jilin?

A handsome and proud face emerged in Gu An's mind. Ji Lin, like him, followed Ji Xiaoyu to join the Taixuan Sect. The two did not have much interaction, but Du Ye had come to help Ji Lin collect herbs before.

He didn't expect that Ji Lin could already stand out in the World Outer Gate Conference. You know, Ji Lin is only a few years older than him.

Of course, it might be related to the cultivation resources he obtained. With the treatment from Taixuan Sect and the resources from Ji family, it is understandable that his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

Gu An walked towards the tree, but his ears were eavesdropping on the conversation between Li Ya and the other person.

The World Outer Sect Conference has begun. The talented outer sect disciples from both the righteous and evil sects have gathered together to compete for supremacy. According to Li Ya and others, the conference is conducted in a one-on-one format, and those disciples who are always victorious are beginning to become famous.

Gu An did not hear Ji Xiaoyu's name, but then he thought, yes, Ji Xiaoyu does not belong to the outer sect.

Xiaochuan, Wuxin and others were very curious about Zuo Lin. They gathered in groups of three or four and talked about him.

Zuo Lin's arrival did not disrupt Xuan Gu's life. He was quite disdainful of the menial disciples. He usually practiced sword with Li Ya and then went back to his room to practice after practice.

Because of their arrival, Gu An reduced the frequency of going to Bajing Dongtian, but still stuck to the daily plan.

A month passed quickly.

Gu An finally reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. That night, he felt so light on his way back.

When he returned to Xuan Valley, he found someone practicing sword in Li Ya's courtyard.

He returned to his attic and only walked to the window and looked out after entering the house.

The one practicing sword was Zuo Lin.

When Zuo Lin first came, Gu An thought he was a kendo genius.

But after a month, after watching him practice sword every day, Gu An discovered that this guy's talent in swordsmanship was extremely mediocre.

Gu An now has a certain level of attainment in swordsmanship, and he can judge that Zuo Lin’s talent in swordsmanship is not as good as Su Han’s.

Su Han has the strongest talent in swordsmanship in the valley, but that is only within Xuan Valley. He is not good enough to show off to others.

Gu An looked for a while and then closed the window.

When it was daybreak, Gu An went downstairs and found Zuo Lin still standing in the yard. He stood there, looking at the sword in his hand, frowning.

Gu An called on his fellow junior brothers, sisters and disciples to practice exercises, and the noise attracted Zuo Lin's attention.

"In fact, you don't have to force yourself to learn swordsmanship. Your spiritual roots are so powerful. Wait until your cultivation level is higher before practicing swordsmanship. Perhaps you can get twice the result with half the effort." Li Ya came to Zuo Lin and said softly.

Zuo Lin's face was gloomy, and he said: "No, I must become a sword cultivator, my father is a sword fanatic in Canghu!"

Li Ya wanted to persuade him, but then he changed his mind and realized that he was the same and also wanted to prove something to his father.

Zuo Lin stared closely at Gu An and the others practicing exercises. For some reason, he felt that Gu An's movements were quite unique. They were obviously the same as those of the others, but there was something mysterious about the way Gu An performed them.

At first, he thought it was his illusion, but as he watched, he felt more and more that he was not mistaken.

Li Ya did not continue to disturb Zuo Lin. He turned and walked towards the forest. He also needed a lot of time to practice.

Although he didn't often mention his defeat to Xu Ruye, he always kept it in his mind.

He doesn't want to lose again!

After Gu An finished a set of exercises, he asked the disciples in the valley to get busy. At this point, the affairs of the valley no longer needed him to arrange personally, and Wu Xin was gradually taking over the power of the eldest brother.

Ogawa has a rather introverted personality and doesn't like to be given orders or made arrangements, so he is willing to help Wuxin.

Not to mention Ye Lan, she has already collected her thoughts and focused on the outer sect assessment.

There is only one way for people like them with mediocre qualifications to become outer disciples, and that is to reach the ninth level of the Qi training realm, and then participate in the outer sect assessment. After passing, they can wait for the outer sect to distribute the foundation-building pill.

If they break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage directly, there will be no need for assessment.

Gu An was hesitating whether or not to improve his alchemy skills and help his junior sisters and brothers to refine the foundation-building pill. The medicinal materials for the foundation-building pill can all be found in the valley, and the difficulty lies in the alchemy process.

Ye Lan still has some time to reach the ninth level of Qi training realm, which is enough time for Gu An to weigh the matter. As for Xiaochuan, he is even further away.

With most people's qualifications, they cannot reach the eighth level of Qi training even after a lifetime of hard practice.

Gu An walked towards the attic. He took out the Travels of the Green Hero from his arms, with an expectant look on his face.

He deliberately kept the last five chapters, waiting for a sunny day to savor them.

It was raining heavily, and Qing Xia and his daughter Yin met in a ruined temple. Their love and hatred were about to erupt completely...

Gu An was looking forward to it just thinking about it.

"Brother Gu An."

Zuo Lin's voice came, Gu An turned his head and saw him walking towards him quickly.

Coming in front of Gu An, Zuo Lin felt a little embarrassed, but Gu An didn't care about his arrogance at the beginning, and asked with a smile: "Brother Zuo, is there anything wrong?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "I see that your set of moves is very exquisite, can you teach me?"

"No problem, let's go under the tree." Gu An replied.

It is our duty as Chinese people to promote radio gymnastics! Zuo Lin was stunned. He didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to. He was immediately filled with shame. He hurriedly followed Gu An's pace.

The two of them came to the yard in front of the attic, and Gu An didn't waste any time and began to teach him exercises.

Zuo Lin had a photographic memory, and he could learn it after Gu An taught him once.

"That's it?" Zuo Lin asked with a frown.

Gu An asked in confusion: "Not enough? This is all the moves."

"What about the mental method?"

“There is no mental method.”

"Impossible, without any mental method, how could you..." Zuo Lin said with a frown.

His words made Gu An even more confused, and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with me?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Zuo Lin was anxious and said, "You just give me a different feeling. It's obviously the same movements, but different from others. You must have a method..."

Gu An was helpless. Was this kid so obsessed with swordplay that he became stupid? Seeing Gu An's expression, Zuo Lin became even more embarrassed. Reason told him that it was impossible for a chores disciple to hide a peerless mental method.

But his previous feeling was not wrong.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been very sensitive to a person's qualifications and aura. Even his master praised him for having a keen mind and being good at judging people.

This errand disciple in front of him must be extraordinary! Zuo Lin rolled his eyes and said, "How about this, I'll teach you swordsmanship, why don't you give it a try?"

Gu An wanted to refuse, but looking at his expression, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get rid of him, so he could only nod in agreement.

It would be a waste if you don't learn! Zuo Lin saw that he didn't have a sword, so he took out a long sword from his storage bag and handed it to him. He then drew the sword from his waist and began to demonstrate his swordsmanship.

This kid really doesn't know how to behave! Why swing the sword so fast? Gu An complained in his heart, but his eyes were watching very seriously.

In the distance, Tang Yu and Su Han saw this scene. They didn't dare to get close and could only watch from afar.

"If Master has learned it, can he teach us?" Su Han said expectantly. He liked swords the most. There are so many ways to cultivate immortality, but only sword cultivation fascinated him.

Tang Yu nodded and said, "As long as Master learns it, he will definitely not refuse us if we ask him for help."

In their hearts, Gu An is the best master, and the key to the problem lies in whether the master can learn Zuo Lin's swordsmanship.

The answer is yes. Gu An has invested two thousand years of his life in the Seven Swords of the Li Family. His attainments in swordsmanship are already very high.

Although Zuo Lin's swordsmanship was good in his opinion, it was not as good as the upgraded version of the Li family's Seven Swords, let alone the Nine Swords of Shocking Absolute.

That’s right, it’s impossible for Zuo Lin to teach his strongest swordsmanship right away.

After Zuo Lin finished performing the exercise, he turned back to look at Gu An and asked, "How much did you remember?"

Gu An shook his head and said, "About 20%... I can't say for sure. Your swordsmanship is so smooth that it dazzles me. I have already forgotten the previous sword moves."

Zuo Lin frowned, and he immediately asked Gu An to try it.

So, Gu An began to use the sword technique that Zuo Lin had just used. His movements were hesitant and his sword moves were stiff, which made Zuo Lin's brows frown more and more.

Tang Yu and Su Han in the distance were in despair. It seemed that their master could not learn anything.

After Gu An finished performing the technique with some bumps and bruises, Zuo Lin did not give up and performed it again. This time his movements were slower, but he still did not remember all of it.

After struggling for half an hour, Gu An found an excuse to slip away.

An angry Zuo Lin found Li Ya and said that Gu An was teasing him.

After learning the reason, Li Ya said with a smile: "He really has no talent for swordsmanship, and he hates practicing swordsmanship."

"Really?" Zuo Lin's anger subsided a lot, but he couldn't help but think of Gu An's previous exercise posture. He always felt that Gu An was hiding something.

"He is my junior fellow apprentice, how could I not know?"

Li Ya rolled his eyes at him and warned him, "Don't bother him anymore. It's good enough that I let you stay. If you continue to bother him, you'll have to go back to the outer gate and find your father!"

Zuo Lin fell into deep thought, his eyes looking towards the attic where Gu An lived, wondering what he was thinking.

The other side.

In the attic.

Gu An was sitting in meditation on the bed with his eyes closed, recalling the sword skills taught by Zuo Lin.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a sword light flashed in his eyes.

He called up his attribute panel, and "Wood Spirit Sword Technique" appeared in the unique skills column.

Wood spirit?

Could it be a sword technique with wood attributes?

Gu An's Shenmu Chunyang Gong is of wood attribute. If he practices wood-attributed spells, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort. He had previously practiced the Poison Wood Formation taught by Jiang Qiong and quickly learned it.

However, he did not want to improve his swordsmanship for the time being, as he had to live to a hundred thousand years first.

A thousand years of life would unlock the life detection function, ten thousand years of life would unlock the life barrier function, and a hundred thousand years of life should also be able to unlock new functions. He has been looking forward to it.
