Chapter 35: Feiye Sword Immortal, Inheritance of the Divine Realm
After Ye Lan obtained the foundation-building pill, it only took her one month to successfully build her foundation. That night, Gu An secretly protected her and she passed the tribulation without any danger.
On the second day after successfully building the foundation, Ye Lan said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Her sudden foundation-building became a big story in Xuan Valley. The disciples had many speculations about it. Some said that it was the foundation-building pill given by Gu An, some said that Ye Lan had a fortuitous encounter, and some said that she was helped by heaven when practicing in the mountains.
No matter what, Ye Lan left after all.
In the scorching summer.
Gu An stood on the balcony of the attic. He looked at his busy disciples and suddenly felt that things had changed.
Cheng Xuandan, Zhang Chunqiu, Li Ya, Meng Lang, Lu Jiujia and Ye Lan have all left.
Now the remaining people are his descendants.
Below him, the one with the most seniority is Ogawa.
Xiaochuan has given up the idea of joining the outer sect, but he has not been discouraged and still lives a positive life. In addition to practicing, he has found other meanings in life.
Gu An looked towards a corner of the medicine valley. There was a bamboo fence there with ducks raised inside. Xiaochuan was lying on the bamboo fence, communicating with the ducks.
These ducks are not ordinary ducks from folk farmers. These ducks all have a trace of the blood of third-level monsters. The price of each one is one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Xiaochuan emptied his wallet and only bought two. The remaining ten were paid by Gu An, which made Xiaochuan even more grateful to him.
It is said that it has the blood of a third-level monster, but it would be a blessing for this duck to grow to the first level.
"The flesh and blood of low-level monsters is also helpful to cultivators. Should I start a livestock business? I can earn more lifespans and spirit stones..."
Gu An's heart suddenly moved.
It's not a bad idea to herd sheep and cattle in the mountains! However, to do so, he would have to constantly expand his manpower. He was afraid that things would get out of hand and Taixuanmen would have something against him.
He thought about running away and finding a deep mountain to do it by himself, but he quickly rejected the idea. Not to mention that the vine tree was difficult to move, he didn't want to miss out on the resource channels of Taixuan Sect.
In Taixuan Sect, as long as he has enough spirit stones, he can buy anything he wants, but it may not be the case outside.
There are always some rare things that are hard to find!
At worst, I can glorify Taixuan Sect in my books later.
Gu An secretly thought, as long as he handed in enough herbs and monster flesh, how could Taixuanmen embarrass him? They might even lend him a helping hand! Well, that's it! From now on, Xiaochuan will be the animal trainer, and Wuxin will be the eldest disciple in charge of planting. They will be my left and right protectors in Xuan Valley.
The more Gu An thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him, and he began to think about a plan.
There was a huge amount of wealth in the jade ring that Bai Lingshu found before. He calculated that it was equivalent to two million low-grade spirit stones, or two hundred high-grade spirit stones, which was enough for him to show his skills.
Do it when you think of it!
Gu An called out to Xiaochuan, who immediately ran over, leaped up and landed on the balcony.
"Big Brother, is there anything wrong?" Ogawa asked.
When Gu An expressed his thoughts, Xiaochuan's eyes lit up and he became more and more excited the more he listened.
The two hit it off immediately! In the end, Gu An asked Xiaochuan to go to the outer gate and make a list on paper. Xiaochuan agreed directly and set off that day.
Ogawa also mastered the sword-wielding technique, but his spiritual power was insufficient, so a round trip took him two days, and he had to rest for a night in the middle.
Three days later, Xiaochuan returned and handed the written paper to Gu An. He talked excitedly. It turned out that he met Lu Jiujia at the outer gate, and Lu Jiujia personally took him to inspect the monsters, which saved him a lot of trouble.
After the two discussed, Gu An decided to buy fifty young animals to test the waters first, because only if he bought so many would the outer gate's animal hall be willing to escort them to Xuan Valley.
After resting for a day, Xiaochuan set off with the spirit stones given by Gu An. He was accompanied by Tang Yu and Su Han. Both of them had reached the fifth level of Qi training, and they had more momentum with more people.
If there wasn't a batch of medicinal herbs about to be harvested recently, Gu An would have wanted to go there in person for fear of being cheated.
Fortunately, such a thing did not happen. After all, Taixuanmen is a famous and upright sect.
Five days later, Xiaochuan and his two companions returned flying on swords, followed by three two-horned white eagles with a wingspan of five meters. On the eagles' backs stood the figures of monks, and in their claws were large cages with lambs tied inside. These lambs had not grown horns yet, so the flight was not bumpy, which was due to the talisman paper on the cages.
After everyone landed, Gu An stepped forward to express his gratitude. The attitude of the three disciples from the Medicine Hall was not very enthusiastic, but they did not embarrass him. After a few polite words, they rode away on their eagles.
"Xiaochuan, these sheep cost me a thousand low-grade spirit stones. You have to take good care of them." Gu An patted Xiaochuan's shoulder and said meaningfully.
It's not just the spirit stone, it's my life! These lambs have the strength of the first level when they grow up, which is equivalent to the third level of Qi training, but they can't be born with the same intelligence as humans.
Xiao Chuan nodded seriously, scratched his head, and said, "Big Brother, can you recruit two more disciples to help me?"
Gu An said: "Let others help you first, and then recruit disciples after half a year. My storage bag is a bit tight."
Ogawa smiled and thanked him quickly.
Gu An actually still had a lot of spirit stones, but he was afraid that he would attract too much attention, so he chose to restrain himself for half a year.
After dealing with Xiaochuan, Gu An returned to the attic.
Everyone in the valley ran over to watch these first-level sheep monsters. For them who had been paying attention to flowers and plants all day, the appearance of the sheep monsters was novel to them.
Gu An returned to the attic and prepared to write the next volume of The Investiture of the Gods. Liu Chang from the library urged him several times, saying that it was time for him to start writing.
Listening to the laughter of the disciples outside the window, Gu An's mouth corners unconsciously rose.
…
In a courtyard, Zuo Yijian, a man with a head full of white hair, was meditating under a tree. He was holding a leaf in his right hand and his brows were furrowed.
Compared with himself who successfully overcame the tribulation several years ago, he looked much older and had lost his sharpness. He did not look like a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
Zuo Lin walked into the yard, he turned his head and saw his father under the tree. He immediately stepped forward, walked in front of Zuo Yijian, and snatched the leaf from his hand.
"Father, how long will you remain decadent?"
Zuo Lin asked angrily, he threw the leaves in his hand to the ground and stepped on them.
Zuo Yijian raised his eyes to look at him, his gaze as calm as water, and said: "Father is not decadent."
"You have been looking at the leaves all day long. How long have you been looking at them? How long has it been since you took in your breath? And how long has it been since you tempered your sword spirit?"
Zuo Lin said this with a tone of disappointment on his face. When he thought of the humiliation he had suffered over the years, his anger surged up and he could hardly hold it back.
Zuo Yijian lowered his head to pick up the leaf. He asked, "Why did you hold your sword and ponder without taking in any energy? Are you, holding the sword, working harder than me, holding the leaf?"
"I……"
Zuo Lin choked and his face flushed. He gritted his teeth and said, "The sword is the sword, and the leaf is the leaf. I don't know the way of the sword, so I just sat there in silence. You are different. Do you want to pursue the way of the leaf?"
"But Feiye Sword Immortal defeated me with only one leaf. Do you think the leaf in his hand doesn't count as a sword?"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
“This is different…”
"The true way of swordsmanship is never limited to a single sword."
Zuo Yijian said softly, his eyes fixed on the leaves in his hand again, and his gaze became vague.
Zuo Lin cursed inwardly, then reached for his storage bag with his right hand and took out a book. He said, "Father, please take a look at this book. It's called The Investiture of the Gods. It has been widely circulated in the immortal cultivation world in the past two years. Many sects are circulating it. Some people say that it records the great immortal cultivation wars in the ancient era."
Zuo Yijian remained indifferent.
Zuo Lin placed The Investiture of the Gods at his feet, then turned and left.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, he couldn't help but take out another copy of The Investiture of the Gods from his storage bag.
Zuo Yijian began to stare blankly.
An unknown amount of time had passed before he could no longer resist blinking, his eyes subconsciously glancing towards the Investiture of the Gods on the ground.
…
In autumn, Xuan Valley is covered with a pale yellow color.
In the attic, Gu An and Li Ya sat opposite each other drinking tea. Li Ya was talking incessantly with a book in his hand.
It is the Investiture of the Gods.
"The Taixuan Sect has been in the limelight in the past two years. First, the Feiye Sword Immortal defeated the Yuanying Realm Canghu Sword Maniac with a single leaf, which made him famous in the world of immortal cultivation. Second, it is because of the book Investiture of the Gods. The immortal cultivation stories recorded in it are too grand, and the incredible magic spells have caused various sects to discuss it. Some people even say that this may be a true story from ancient times..."
Listening to Li Ya praising Investiture of the Gods, Gu An frowned.
Is it so popular?
But his share of the profits is not that much.
Did the library take kickbacks, or did other religious sects read non-authentic books?
On second thought, yes, how could the world of immortal cultivation talk about copyright? Li Ya talked for a long time, and finally said: "I don't know who this Pan An is. He is really a great talent. I really want to get to know him. It is said that even the inner disciples and disciples of the master are reading this book."
Gu An asked curiously, "It's so powerful, I have to take a look and see if it can compare to Qing Xia's Travels."
"How can a book that is not presentable be compared with Investiture of the Gods?" Li Ya said disdainfully.
Gu An just smiled.
Li Ya put down the book in his hand, picked up the teacup, drank it all, and then said: "I am leaving to go out and gain experience. It will probably be difficult for me to come back in less than ten years."
For him, ten years was nothing, but for Junior Brother Gu, it was different, so he came here specifically to explain this matter.
Gu An was not surprised. There was no way a cultivator would stay in the sect all his life. He had to go out to gain experience, look for opportunities, practice Taoism and cultivate his mind.
"Do you have a target?" Gu An asked casually.
Li Ya smiled and said, "Indeed, there is a great cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Realm in Jizhou, the southernmost province. He is about to die and wants to choose a suitable successor before he dies. This person is a sword cultivator, and I am going to give it a try."
"Spirit Transformation? What realm is that? How many levels higher than the Nascent Soul Realm?" Gu An asked with pretended curiosity.
Li Ya smiled and said, "The Spiritual Transformation Realm is just above the Nascent Soul Realm. If it was several levels higher than the Nascent Soul Realm, then he would not have appeared in Taicang. This land is not only the Taicang Dynasty, but it is said that there is an even more vast world on the other side of the sea. However, without the Nascent Soul Realm, it is difficult to travel there."
He stood up and said with a proud smile: "Junior Brother Gu, when I come back, I will be the successor of a great cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. When the time comes, you can call me Senior Brother, and I may let you see some magic at the Spiritual Transformation Realm."
After saying that, he turned and walked to the window sill, jumped out, and flew away on his sword.
Gu An looked at the footprints on the windowsill and raised his eyebrows.
The state of transformation?
It must be achieved before Li Ya comes back!
