Chapter 47: Demonic Shadow Magic, Demonstrating Its Power

The reason why Gu Zong came to Gu An was to ask him to write a book about his deeds. Gu An naturally would not refuse. After all, he was not asking him to write Gu Zong as the protagonist of The Investiture of the Gods.

In exchange, the Ancient Sect would raise Gu An's status to that of an outer disciple, and grant him a medicine valley that was twice as large as the Xuan Valley.

Half a year later, Gu Yu will bring something to find Gu An.

Gu An felt that it was not a loss to write a book in exchange for a medicine valley, as he had nothing to do on weekdays anyway.

That night, after Du Ye returned to the house, he asked Gu An why Gu Zong wanted to see him.

"Are you sure you want to find out about the sect's secrets?" Gu An asked meaningfully, which frightened Du Ye so much that he trembled all over and dared not ask any more questions.

The next morning, after the guests of the Ji Mansion had left, a cultivator found Gu An and handed him a storage bag, saying that it was given to him by the Third Young Lady. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and found that it contained abundant materials for the formation.

Gu An hesitated whether to remind Ji Xiaoyu, but when he saw that the number of Ji family cultivators in the Ji Mansion today increased instead of decreased, and even many cultivators were meditating on the roof, he knew that the Ji family had sensed the crisis.

If that's the case, then he doesn't need to worry about it.

At noon, Gu An followed Du Ye away and still returned to the outer city through the teleportation formation.

After saying goodbye to Du Ye, Gu An rushed towards Xuan Valley.

He has already begun planning the planting plan for the second medicine valley in his mind.

Together with Li Xuandao's medicine valley, he will own three medicine valleys, and his life expectancy and income will surely skyrocket in the future.

Even though he has reached the first level of the Void Crossing Realm, Gu An would not complain that his life span is too short. There must be many levels above the Void Crossing Realm, and the higher you go, the more life span you will need to consume.

His goal is to achieve immortality and reach the pinnacle of the path to becoming an immortal!

Standing on a flying sword and traveling between heaven and earth, Gu An stands facing the wind, dreaming of eternal life in his heart.

When he returned to Xuan Gu, his brows furrowed.

He landed on the ground with his sword, and the flying sword went into his storage bag. Ye Yan, who was weeding not far away, saw him and ran over immediately.

"Master, you are finally back. Yesterday, a senior came to stay temporarily in our Medicine Valley." Ye Yan reported immediately.

Gu An nodded and said, "I understand. You can continue to be busy."

He noticed that there were flags hidden in the weeds in the mountains and forests surrounding Xuan Valley. It was obvious that this was a formation.

He first sensed the other party's breath, then pretended not to notice the formation and walked towards the direction of the cultivator's breath. Along the way, he quickly observed his herbs.

Wow! Six fourth-level herbs are missing!

Gu An's eyes suddenly turned cold.

The other party's cultivation is not simple. He is a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm. But even if he is in the Spirit Transformation Realm, if he dares to steal his herbs, he will have to pay the price!

Gu An walked all the way to Xiaochuan's courtyard. He saw a man refining an elixir in the courtyard. The elixir furnace looked ancient and was half a person's height. Wisps of green smoke came out of it.

The person refining the elixir was an old man with a hunched back, short and fat body, and his gray hair was tied behind his head with a straw rope.

[Qiu Qianli (Spiritual Transformation Level 2): ​​486/930/1050]

After Gu An confirmed that the other party did not hide a stronger cultivation, he immediately went up to him and asked, "May I ask what your name is, Senior? What is your origin?"

His tone was very aggressive, completely different from his usual attitude towards others.

Qiu Qianli stood up, turned to look at Gu An, and said with a smile: "My name is Qiu Qianli. I passed by this medicine valley and would like to stay for a few days."

Gu An asked, "Senior, are you from Taixuan Sect?"

Because Ji Xiaoyu was about to form a pill, he couldn't help but doubt the other party's identity.

Normally, no one in the Spirit Transformation Realm would come to his medicine valley.

The busy disciples also cast their eyes towards the courtyard. In fact, they could all feel that Qiu Qianli's background was not simple, so they were relieved to see Gu An coming back.

"What about you? Are you the owner of this medicine valley?" Qiu Qianli asked with a smile.

Gu An responded: "That's right, why don't you answer me, senior?"

Qiu Qianli shook his head and laughed, muttering to himself: "How dare a Qi training realm cultivator speak to me in such a tone."

He suddenly squatted down and slapped the ground with his palm.

In an instant, the earth shook, and the huge flags hidden in the mountains and forests in all directions trembled, bursting out with devil energy. The devil energy quickly rose up and formed a devil net, covering the entire Xuan Valley. Then the devil net turned transparent, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"What do you want to do?"

Gu An asked in pretended panic.

The disciples in the distance noticed something was wrong and immediately rushed over.

The first to arrive were Xiaochuan and Ye Yan, followed by Wuxin, Zhen Qin and Su Han. Although the others came, they did not dare to approach rashly and could only stand outside the yard and watch nervously.

Su Han stood in the front, holding a sword in his hand, but judging from his trembling legs, he was very nervous.

Zhen Qin's face turned pale with fright, but she still stood in front of Gu An, which made him want to laugh.

This silly girl!

Qiu Qianli's right palm was surrounded by a dense demonic aura. He slowly stood up with a ferocious smile on his face, saying, "Since the Valley Master is back, I will stop pretending. If you want to live, then you must obey me. Otherwise, I will peel off your skin and suck out your soul, leaving you unable to live or die!"

Feeling his terrifying aura, all the disciples were terrified.

Wu Xin bravely asked, "We are all menial disciples. Even if we refine our souls, it will not benefit you. Let's talk it over. What do you want us to do?"

He was afraid that Gu An could not see through the other party's cultivation level, so he spoke first.

Qiu Qianli sneered and said, "You are smart. From now on, you will wait for my orders in the valley. I want to borrow your medicine valley to cultivate my elixir. Don't even think about escaping. My formation is invisible and colorless. Even a Jindan cultivator will turn into a pool of blood in an instant if he encounters it."

Everyone had just seen the formation being formed, so they naturally believed what he said.

Qiu Qianli looked at Gu An and said with a joking smile: "Valley Master, I will tell you now that I am from the Wanyin Sect. What do you think?"

The Wan Yin Sect! It really haunts us...

Gu An has only killed a few people in his life. Except for Fu Xiong, the others were all members of the Wanyin Sect.

Gu An pretended to be frightened and gritted his teeth and said, "Please forgive me for my offense just now, senior. As long as you don't hurt my disciples, you can give me orders. Even if you want to refine souls, please refine mine first!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples became anxious, but they did not dare to say anything for fear of angering Qiu Qianli.

Wu Xin clenched his hands in his sleeves, secretly regretting: "If I had practiced hard and mastered my skills, how could I let my brother do this..."

Zhen Qin, Xiaochuan, Su Han and Ye Yan had similar ideas.

Qiu Qianli smiled, with contempt.

Gu An quickly said, "Senior, I have fifth-level herbs in my house, which are especially suitable for making medicine. Do you need them?"

"Yes, you are very aware of the current situation. Go quickly!" Qiu Qianli said, waving his sleeves.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Gu An immediately turned around and ran towards his attic.

Others looked at Qiu Qianli warily, fearing that he would do something reckless.

Qiu Qianli scratched his ears, looked at Zhen Qin, and said with a smile: "Little girl, come here and help me."

Seeing his malicious smile, Zhen Qin felt disgusted, but she was more filled with fear.

What should she do? Based on the formation scene just now, no one in this valley can be a match for this demon cultivator.

Just when Zhen Qin was feeling anxious, a purple-black figure appeared out of nowhere beside Qiu Qianli.

Qiu Qianli's pupils suddenly shrank and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

So fast!

How is that possible!

Just as Qiu Qianli was about to attack, the opponent's right hand stretched out like a sword, pierced his chest directly, and lifted him into the air.

His eyes widened and he looked at the person under him in disbelief.

This is a figure with dark purple aura lingering all over his body. His true appearance cannot be seen, as if he came from the Netherworld.

Wu Xin, Zhen Qin and others were also frightened by the sudden appearance of the mysterious figure and retreated together.

"Qianqiu... Pavilion... Demonic Shadow Magic Art..." Qiu Qianli said in a trembling voice, his tone full of fear.

He despairedly discovered that he was unable to mobilize the spiritual power in his body at all. The opponent's previous attack directly shattered his golden elixir, and his overbearing spiritual power also suppressed his soul tightly inside his body, preventing it from leaving.

The other party must be above the Spiritual Transformation Realm! Gu An, who was performing the Great Yin-Yang Transformation, glanced back at Wu Xin.

Wu Xin seemed to have thought of something and his face changed drastically.

Immediately afterwards, Gu An, who had pierced through Qiu Qianli's right hand, suddenly clenched his fist. A terrifying sword energy burst out, instantly shattering Qiu Qianli's body, leaving only his soul hanging on his arm, and Qiu Qianli's storage bag fell into his other hand.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere! Wu Xin and the others were also splashed, but they were so frightened that they had no time to react and could only stand there in a daze.

"forward……"

Qiu Qianli's soul trembled as he spoke, but before he could finish, he was crushed by Gu An's overbearing spiritual power.

Gu An's figure then disappeared out of thin air.

The next second, the sound of a door being slammed open was heard in the distance, and Gu An, holding a fifth-level tiger blood flower in his hand, was seen climbing down from the attic balcony.

He quickly rushed to the courtyard where Wu Xin and the others were, and shouted loudly: "Senior! Don't mess around!"

He jumped over the courtyard wall and came to Zhen Qin's side. Looking at the bloodstains all over the yard, he quickly turned around to look at his disciples. Seeing that no one was missing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked nervously, "That demon...where did he go?"

His voice was very low, as if he was afraid of being heard by Qiu Qianli.

Zhen Qin seemed to be awakened. She screamed, then grabbed Gu An's robe and said in a trembling voice: "Master, he is dead... He was..."

The other disciples also woke up and turned to look in other directions, fearing that the mysterious demon shadow would appear again.

It took Gu An a while to understand from them what had just happened.

I have to say, acting is also very tiring.

Gu An called on his disciples to be on high alert and not to relax.

At the same time, he secretly exerted force with his right foot, and his spiritual power spread along the ground, destroying the invisible formation.

A curtain of demonic energy suddenly appeared above Xuan Valley, and then the mysterious magic formation began to collapse. The demonic energy disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and the autumn leaves on the top of the mountain fell down.

"Has the formation been lifted?" Ye Yan asked cautiously.

Wu Xin took a deep breath, looked at Gu An, and said, "Brother, let's talk somewhere else!"

Killing Qiu Qianli gained him sixty-six years of life, which is not bad.

Gu Angu, who was in a good mood, showed a confused expression. He hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to nod.

The two walked into Gu An's attic, while the other disciples gathered together to discuss what had just happened.

Arriving in the attic, Wu Xin closed the door, turned around and looked at Gu An, gritting his teeth and said: "The one who attacked just now should be the great cultivator of Qianqiu Pavilion. It may be that my father sent someone to protect me..."
