Chapter 4: Greedy Demon

Noon time.

Gu An, Meng Lang, and Li Ya stood in front of a wooden fence in a park. Meng Lang stared at the white-haired mouse in Gu An's hand with curiosity.

Li Ya pondered and said, "This should be a white spirit rat. They are very interested in natural treasures with rich spiritual energy, so they are called treasure-hunting rats. They can barely be considered spirit beasts."

When Meng Lang heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the difference between a spirit beast and a demon beast?"

"Demon beasts are the result of self-cultivation, while spirit beasts are born with the ability to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They can also cultivate, and their aura is not as bloody as demonic aura. To put it simply, spirit beasts are not as dangerous as demon beasts." Li Ya explained.

When Gu An heard this, he suddenly didn't want to kill the mouse anymore.

Meng Lang was even more interested and said with a chuckle, "Gu An, why don't you give me this mouse?"

Gu An raised his eyebrows and cursed inwardly, "You beast, you actually dare to speak!"

Li Ya said coldly: "White Spirit Rats usually don't live alone. If one appears, it means there is a nest nearby. Go catch it yourself. It's a bit cheap to snatch even a rat."

When Meng Lang heard this, his cheeks immediately turned red with anger, and he snorted, "Catch him if you want!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

After he walked away, Gu An said to Li Ya: "Thank you."

Gu An found that although Li Ya looked cold, he was actually easy to get along with and generous. He usually did not stop Gu An from watching him practice sword, and today he even spoke up for him.

If Li Ya didn't speak up, Gu An would be in big trouble.

If he beats Meng Lang until he cries, with this kid's voice, it will definitely make a lot of noise! ​​Li Ya looked at Gu An, carefully examined him, and said softly, "Why do I feel that you have suddenly changed, but I can't tell where exactly you have changed."

His right hand suddenly grabbed Gu An's wrist. His speed seemed so slow in Gu An's eyes, but Gu An did not dodge. Instead, he pretended to be surprised.

"Brother Li, what are you doing..."

"nothing."

Li Ya retracted his right hand. He hesitated for a moment and added: "Your breath is stable, and there is nothing wrong with your body. It's just that you don't have spiritual power. No matter how mediocre your aptitude is, don't forget to practice. As long as you work hard, there will be hope sooner or later."

Gu An nodded and started chatting with him.

Li Ya seemed to be in a good mood and was very talkative today. Through him, Gu An also got to know more about the world of immortal cultivation.

I have to say that the children of royal families are different. Even if they have not traveled around the world, they can be full of knowledge.

Half an incense stick of time later, Meng Lang walked over quickly.

"Something big has happened!" Meng Lang came to Gu An and whispered in a nervous tone.

Gu An raised his eyes and looked towards the entrance of the Medicine Valley.

Li Ya asked, "What's the matter?"

Meng Lang stared and said, "There is a cultivator guarding the entrance of the valley. I went up to ask him a few questions. He said he is an inner sect disciple of the sect and accepted the bounty mission from our master. He came to guard us for a month."

"I guess the reason why Master gave us the mission is because of the demon we mentioned before. If that inner disciple can't stop the demon, then we're doomed, right?"

Gu An had already seen the figure of the inner disciple from afar, and with his current eyesight he could see the man's true face.

He was a young man, wearing a green robe, with a handsome appearance, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary man.

[Chu Jingfeng (Foundation Building Level 1): 19/290/870]

At the age of nineteen, he could already reach the first level of the foundation building stage? A genius!

No wonder he could become an inner disciple.

Gu An looked at the detection prompts in front of him and felt deeply moved.

The Taixuan Sect is worthy of being the number one sect in the Taicang Dynasty, with geniuses everywhere.

Li Ya and Meng Lang began to talk about the mysterious demon. Meng Lang found it outrageous. Taixuan Sect was so powerful, how could a demon sneak in? Moreover, it had been half a month and they hadn't caught it yet.

Li Ya thought it was normal. In his words, Taixuan Sect was too big and Medicine Valley was a marginal area, so it was normal for disciples to encounter danger.

"One hundred years ago, a demon cultivator invaded Taixuan Sect, killed hundreds of disciples, and then fled. The demon might know some secret techniques and is difficult to capture." Li Ya said in a faint voice.

"Let alone Taixuan Sect, there is no place in this world that is absolutely safe. The amount of spiritual resources that the imperial dynasty provides to the Demon Suppression Houses in various places every year is an inestimable amount..."

Li Ya began to talk about the world. Gu An and Meng Lang were very interested and listened carefully.

The Ji family, to which Gu An belongs, is a family of immortal cultivators. Having grown up in the Ji family, Gu An knew very little about the world. This was the first time he knew that the world was so dangerous.

Demons are everywhere and evil spirits are rampant. Three or four out of ten cultivators die at the hands of demons and evil spirits.

After hearing this, Gu An became even more frightened.

He must not go out from now on. He must stay in Taixuan Sect to save his life! He will survive for thousands of years, until Taixuan Sect goes bankrupt!

"But our Medicine Valley has so many medicinal herbs, which are of great significance. Why did the sect only send an inner disciple here?" Meng Lang said indignantly.

Li Ya shook his head and said, "There are more than fifty such medicine valleys in Taixuan Sect. The herbs cultivated here are not that precious. Inside Taixuan Sect, there are more valuable medicine valleys. The herbs cultivated there are all natural treasures. Every plant can change the fate of a mortal."

When Gu An heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he began to ask about the situation in the Medicine Valley.

However, Li Ya only knew the existence of the medicine valley, and he didn't know the specific situation.

The three chatted for a while before dispersing. They each had to check the park on time to avoid any unexpected situations with the herbs.

After the inspection, they went back to their rooms.

Gu An tied a rope around the white rat's body, preventing it from escaping.

He sat in meditation on the bed, placed the white rat on his legs, and began to practice.

He practiced the Dragon Power Divine Yuan Gong, which could increase his strength and lifespan. As for other techniques, he was too lazy to practice them. He would just spend more time to cultivate them.

When night fell, Medicine Valley became quieter than ever before.

Gu An's senses were now extremely outstanding. From a distance of a hundred feet, he heard Cheng Xuandan and the inner sect disciple Chu Jingfeng talking. Cheng Xuandan was very respectful to Chu Jingfeng, as if Chu Jingfeng was more than just an inner sect disciple.

Through their conversation, Gu An learned the name of the demon.

Greedy, angry, demonic ghost!

Chu Jingfeng was quite disdainful of the greedy and angry demon ghost. His confident tone also made Cheng Xuandan feel at ease. Gu An clearly felt that Cheng Xuandan's heartbeat frequency had returned to normal.

"Greedy and angry demon..."

Gu An's eyes flickered. He was curious and wondered whether his dragon power and divine essence could destroy the greedy and angry demons.

According to the inherited memory of the Dragon Power Divine Yuan Gong, the dragon power has the effect of suppressing demons and killing evil.

He must prepare for the worst, in case Chu Jingfeng can't hold on!

No matter how long his life is, he only has one! He can't afford to gamble!

That night, the aura of everyone in the Medicine Valley was unstable, obviously affected by their emotions. Gu An, who noticed this, became even more nervous.

It was not until dawn that Gu An began to fall asleep.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

In the next five days, the greedy and angry ghosts did not show up, and Gu An's tense heart gradually relaxed.

Day 6.

As usual, Gu An went back to his room to rest after dark. This time, he brought back four travel books from the library, preparing to increase his understanding of the world.

The white spirit rat jumped out from under the bed and quickly jumped onto the table. Ever since it felt the aura of Gu An practicing the Dragon Power Divine Yuan Gong, it became dependent on Gu An. Now, even if it was not tied up, it would not run away.

Gu An came to the table and sat down. He teased the white rat and then began to flip through a book called "The Travels of Green Hero".

The window was half open, and the night breeze blew in, causing the candlelight on the oil lamp to flicker and the shadow of the white rat on the table to lengthen from time to time.

Gu An found this travelogue quite interesting.

There are just too many things between men and women. Qingxia travels around the world, appreciating the scenery from north to south, slaying demons and monsters, and also having fleeting romances.

Gu An kept reading until late at night and felt something was wrong.

Why is it that every woman Qing Xia meets likes him? This guy pretends to be awkward and is pushed and half-hearted by the women...

Could this be written by a scholar? Gu An secretly despised the author of this book, but he still read it with great interest.

call--

A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, and even Gu An, who had mastered the Dragon Force Divine Yuan Gong, could not help shivering. He put down the book in his hand, stood up and prepared to close the window.

Before he reached the window, he suddenly heard a noise coming from a distance. He stopped and listened carefully.

"Monster! Die!"

Chu Jingfeng's low roar made Gu An's hair stand on end.

The demon of greed and anger is coming?

However, Chu Jingfeng didn't seem to be afraid. He was very excited and looked very reliable.

"ah--"

Just as Gu An felt relieved, he heard Chu Jingfeng's screams. Frightened, he quickly stepped forward to close the window, then turned back to blow out the oil lamp.

Gu An retreated to the corner of the room. The white rat obviously sensed something and quickly jumped into his arms.

This little beast is actually trembling!

Its trembling intensified Gu An's fear.

From childhood to adulthood, Gu An has never encountered any monsters or evil spirits. There is no other way, the Ji family is too safe. When he was a child, the most terrifying existence in his eyes was the Ji family guards, who were like Zhang Fei and Li Kui.

"Chu Jingfeng, you have to live up to your boasting. And Li Ya next door, I think you have extraordinary talent and a unique fate. You must be the protagonist in the novel. If you kill that demon, you will be able to turn into a dragon in a flash..."

Gu An tried hard to calm himself down. He clenched his fists tightly, already gathering the dragon energy in his body.

Soon, he heard the sound of the door of the next room being pushed open. It was Li Ya. This guy rushed over with a sword in hand to support Chu Jingfeng.

As for Meng Lang, he was even worse than Gu An. He actually hid under the bed, causing the already nervous Gu An to almost curse out loud.

This bastard usually acts like a big brother in front of him, but he turns out to be so cowardly when something happens.

Gu An thought so, and every second that followed felt tormenting.

In his perception, Chu Jingfeng's breath suddenly disappeared, and he didn't know if he was dead.

"Monster! Shut up!"

Li Ya's voice was caught by Gu An, which made him shudder.

This demon wants to eat them?

Immediately afterwards, Gu An heard a bang and Li Ya's voice stopped abruptly.

Finished? Such a waste?

Gu An's heart was beating like a war drum and he couldn't calm down at all.

Cheng Xuandan and Zhang Chunqiu were both hiding in their own rooms. They pretended not to hear such a loud noise. It really is true that like master, like disciple...

The outside of the house fell into silence. Even Gu An, who had outstanding senses, could not catch the movements and breath of the greedy and angry ghosts.
