Chapter 6: Fat Outer Disciple

Gu An took the secret book and had a subtle feeling in his heart. Although he had known that Li Ya was going to leave, when he really heard that he was leaving, he actually felt a little reluctant.

In this medicine valley, he only has two friends. After all, he has nothing to talk about with Cheng Xuandan and Zhang Chunqiu.

Li Ya is much better than Meng Lang. Meng Lang is just a beast! "Are you going to build your foundation?" Gu An asked.

He used his lifespan probe to find out that Li Ya's cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Qi training realm, a very fast breakthrough speed.

Could it be that there is a master in the woods who is guiding him? Or is it that Li Ya has the soul of his grandfather who was persecuted by a villain hidden in his body? Li Ya nodded and said, "I will prepare to build my foundation next month."

He paused and said seriously, "After this separation, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet again. Don't be too submissive to Meng Lang in Medicine Valley, or he will get ahead of you. There will definitely be other disciples in Medicine Valley in the future, and as a senior brother, you have to have your own temper..."

Gu An was speechless. How could he be lectured by two people in one day? However, compared to Du Ye, Li Ya was more sincere.

Gu An suddenly felt reluctant.

From childhood to adulthood, he had been walking on thin ice in the Ji family. He had no real friends, only people he deliberately tried to please. He had never had a friend like Li Ya who could give him gifts.

He understood that what Li Ya said would come true, and this separation might be for a lifetime.

Gu An couldn't help but say, "You too, don't be as reckless as before, staying alive is the most important thing. You were able to advance from a menial disciple to the stage of building a foundation in less than two years. Your talent must be top-notch. As long as you survive, you will definitely become a top-notch cultivator known all over the world."

Li Ya couldn't help but smile when he heard his words.

The two stood in the yard and chatted. After a while, Meng Lang came back. Hearing that Li Ya was leaving, he was also in a low mood.

In the end, Li Ya left. After saying goodbye to Gu An and the others, he went to visit Cheng Xuandan, and was finally taken away from Medicine Valley by Zhang Chunqiu.

The winter snow has not yet completely melted, and the Medicine Valley has become much quieter.

Gu An began to practice the sword manual given by Li Ya in his spare time. He did not pursue it too highly and did not seek to master it, but at least to be proficient enough to make it appear on the panel.

It takes time for the secret manual of martial arts to appear on the attribute panel. Gu An doesn't want to wait until he is in danger and wants to spend his life only to find out that it is too late to practice.

The sword manual that Li Ya gave was named the Seven Swords of the Li Family. It was a very ordinary name, but Gu An knew that the Li family represented the royal family of the Taicang Dynasty, so he practiced it very seriously.

As winter turns to spring and the Medicine Valley is filled with vitality.

After Li Ya left, Zhang Chunqiu brought back another person, a fourteen-year-old boy named Xiaochuan.

Xiaochuan is a lonely boy. After entering the Medicine Valley, he rarely communicates with Gu An and Meng Lang. After Gu An helped him pick herbs many times, he developed a liking for Gu An, and the two of them gradually talked more, but overall, Xiaochuan is still a taciturn person.

When summer came, Gu An learned from the attribute panel that he was already seventeen years old.

Since he was a child, he never knew the exact date of his birthday, and he didn't care.

Rather than his birthday, Gu An was more looking forward to when he could pick third-level herbs.

Most of the herbs in the Medicine Valley take several years to be harvested, so the rate at which his lifespan increases has not been increasing all the time, and has begun to slow down recently.

This day.

Zhang Chunqiu found Gu An.

"Junior Brother Gu, I have a task here that pays well. Are you willing to take it?" Zhang Chunqiu said with a smile.

Gu An raised his eyebrows. Are there still missions in the Medicine Valley?

He resisted and asked, "Excuse me, Senior Brother, what is the mission?"

"An outer disciple is about to go out for training. It will be difficult for him to come back within two years. Your task is to help him look after the herbs in the cave. When he comes back, he will reward you with ten mid-grade spirit stones." Zhang Chunqiu said with a smile.

When Gu An heard this, he was immediately moved.

The spiritual stones are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade grades from low to high. The value of each grade differs by a hundred times. One medium-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and Gu An's monthly reward is one low-grade spiritual stone. This task is equivalent to earning one thousand low-grade spiritual stones in two years. How can he not be tempted? Gu An hesitated and asked, "Is that senior trustworthy?"

Zhang Chunqiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed. He said with approval, "Yes, Junior Brother Gu, you are very cautious. Don't worry, that man is my old friend. We joined Taixuan Sect in the same year. The reason why he chose you is because you are diligent and honest. If it was Meng Lang, I would still be worried. Besides, his cave is not far from our Medicine Valley, only a dozen miles away. You only need to go there twice a month."

Gu An hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

He hasn't had the chance to pick herbs in the past half month, and he feels uncomfortable seeing that his life span has not increased. He misses the feeling of gaining life.

The Dragon Force Divine Energy Power could only increase his lifespan by one year every month. If he didn't have the golden finger that could take away his lifespan, he would definitely be satisfied, but now, he was very greedy.

Moreover, he didn't know how long the effect of Long Jin Shen Yuan Gong in increasing lifespan could last. After all, everything has its limits.

Seeing that he agreed, Zhang Chunqiu took him directly out of the valley.

Gu An hasn't left the Medicine Valley for two years. When he was asked to leave the valley, he was actually a little nervous.

Walking out of the valley, what came into his sight were endless mountains and forests. The sunlight sprinkled through the trees, forming circles of rainbow light, which was particularly beautiful.

Zhang Chunqiu slapped his waist, and a long sword flew out of the storage bag on his waist. He grabbed Gu An's arm, jumped up, landed on the long sword, and flew with the sword.

Gu An was so scared that he hugged his waist tightly. The hot summer breeze blew his black hair and envy flashed in his eyes.

Flying with a sword, this is the standard for cultivators! He didn't expect Zhang Chunqiu to have this skill! Zhang Chunqiu felt the strength of his arm and laughed out loud: "Junior Brother Gu, you must open your eyes and see the way you came here clearly, you will have to do it by yourself in the future."

Gu An couldn't help but ask, "Big Brother, can you teach me the sword-controlling technique?"

"Then you have to practice hard. When you reach the fourth level of Qi training, I will teach you how to fly a sword."

"The fourth level of Qi training..."

"As long as you are willing to work hard, one day you will be able to achieve the fourth level of Qi training."

As he said this, Zhang Chunqiu couldn't help but straighten his back and reveal a bright and sunny smile.

He couldn't help but think in his heart: "In Junior Brother Gu's eyes, I must be very impressive now. I hope he can be inspired and stop being lazy in cultivation."

In his eyes, Gu An was good in every way except that he didn't like practicing. In his spare time, this kid would read books.

Gu An was quite speechless. Is it difficult to reach the fourth level of Qi training? Can I spend a hundred years of my life?

No, then five hundred years!

If five hundred years is not enough, then...

This is bullshit!

The two brothers were chatting while flying on their swords.

Not long after, they landed in a forest. After landing, Gu An was still savoring the feeling of flying in the sky.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Zhang Chunqiu led Gu An forward, passed through a dense forest, and came to a mountain wall. He raised his hand, took out a jade pendant, and pressed it into a groove in the mountain wall.

"There are restrictions in his cave. You must bring this jade pendant with you next time. Don't lose it, or it will be very troublesome." Zhang Chunqiu warned.

Gu An nodded, and then the mountain wall shook, a stone door appeared, and then opened.

Zhang Chunqiu took off the jade pendant and took Gu An inside.

The two disappeared into the darkness, and after a few breaths, the mountain gate slammed shut.

This cave was bigger than Gu An had expected. The tunnel alone was five meters long. They came to a spacious cave room, and Gu An's attention was attracted by an area where medicinal herbs were planted.

Those medicinal herbs were planted very densely, with at least a hundred plants, occupying most of the space in the cave. With Gu An's current vision, he could tell at a glance that the grade of these medicinal herbs was not simple.

Are the outer disciples of Taixuan Sect so rich? Zhang Chunqiu began to instruct Gu An on which herbs to pick and the specific cultivation process of various herbs. This cave has its own restrictions and is not short of water, but it is afraid that too much water will cause the herbs to die suddenly. If some herbs are not picked in time, they will ignite spiritual flames, causing all the herbs to be destroyed.

At the same time, there are seeds on the table, and Gu An has to continue planting after picking them.

The outer disciple had already prepared the spirit protection paper in advance and placed it on the table as well.

"Okay, I'm leaving first. When you're done, come back and try to find the way back. If you haven't returned to Medicine Valley by evening, I'll come to find you." Zhang Chunqiu patted Gu An's shoulder and handed him the jade pendant.

Gu An was not rude. He sent Zhang Chunqiu out before coming back.

He did not pick the herbs immediately, but looked around the cave.

It was very simple, with only a stone bed, a stone table, two stone benches, no, there were also books hidden on the wall of the cave, covered by vines.

Gu An had no intention of reading it. What if the immortal cultivators had similar surveillance restrictions? Just earn your life honestly and don't cause trouble!

Gu An began to pick the ripe herbs.

[You successfully seized the Spirit Flame Grass (Level 3) and gained 9 years of lifespan]

Hiss——

Third level medicinal herbs!

Gu An suddenly didn’t know whether there was something wrong with his understanding of the grades of medicinal herbs, or whether the treatment in the outer sect was indeed much higher than that in the Medicine Valley where he was.

Forget it, just enjoy it first!

The first batch of herbs that needed to be picked had eleven plants, which would give him eighty-nine years of life, bringing his total lifespan to one thousand two hundred and sixty-four years.

Gu An used his lifespan to look around and actually saw a fourth-level spiritual herb.

What a fat outer disciple! Gu An was very happy. He had to maintain a good relationship with such a fat employer so that he could have long-term cooperation in the future.

etc!

Can he do this for other Taixuanmen disciples? After all, going out for training is something that all disciples will experience.

No, he had to get this done first, and he had to proceed step by step. What if he encountered a bad person who wanted to blackmail him? He was just a chores disciple, and if he had a conflict with a formal disciple, he would definitely be the one to be abandoned.

Gu An began to plant the seeds of Spirit Flame Grass. He was very careful and wanted to do it well.

After one stick of incense.

Gu An walked out of the cave and closed the cave gate, then walked towards the Medicine Valley.

He was afraid of encountering demons like the greedy, angry and demonic ghosts again, so he walked very quickly.

Relying on the Dragon Power Divine Yuan Gong, Gu An returned to the entrance of the Medicine Valley in less than half an hour. Before he got close, he saw a man.

Chu Jingfeng! Chu Jingfeng, whose right arm was broken, had a haggard face and was wearing a black robe. He was completely different from before.
