Chapter 7: Three Thousand Years of Life, Crisis and Rebirth
When Gu An saw Chu Jingfeng, Chu Jingfeng also saw him.
Gu An was just about to quicken his pace to greet him when Chu Jingfeng leaped up several feet high, flew over the hillside, and landed in front of him like a wild goose.
"You must be Gu An, right? I have something to ask you." Chu Jingfeng said in a deep voice.
Gu An pretended to be nervous and saluted, and replied: "I am. Whatever the senior asks, I will answer truthfully."
Seeing Gu An being so honest, Chu Jingfeng's expression eased. He said softly, "You have seen the Greedy Demon Ghost. She even pinched your neck. Do you remember her face?"
Gu An shook his head and said, "There was no oil lamp in the room that night, so I couldn't see her face clearly. When she appeared, I fainted from fear..."
Having said that, he secretly mobilized the Qi and blood in his body, causing his face to turn red instantly.
Seeing him so embarrassed, Chu Jingfeng's anger dissipated a lot.
"What am I doing? Why am I making things difficult for a menial disciple..." Chu Jingfeng thought to himself with self-mockery.
His expression became gentle, and he said, "If you remember anything, or encounter anything, you can contact me."
After that, he took out a spiritual stone the size of an egg and said, "This is a special spiritual stone. If you inject spiritual power into it, you can communicate with me."
He threw the spirit stone to Gu An, then leaped up, and a long sword flew out of thin air from his waist. He stepped on the long sword and rushed out of the woods, and leaves fell down.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Gu An always feels that he has become stronger after losing his arm.
Gu An didn't think much about it and walked towards the Medicine Valley with the spirit stone.
"Alas, when can I have my own storage bag?"
The young man walked on the hillside in the woods. The mottled sunlight sprinkled on him, and he seemed to be covered with a layer of colorful clothes.
…
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed.
Nineteen-year-old Gu An was walking in the woods. He looked taller than two years ago, and his body was much stronger. Even though he was wearing simple cloth, he looked clean, especially his eyes, which were very bright. His long hair was casually tied behind his head with a straw rope, and two strands of fine hair fell on his forehead, which made his temperament more unrestrained and uninhibited.
Behind him, there was a young man with an ordinary face, a head shorter than him. He was carrying a bamboo basket on his back and wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead as he walked.
"Senior Brother, how far is it?" Ogawa shouted weakly.
He was the only one in Medicine Valley who was younger than Gu An. He liked to follow Gu An around on weekdays. When he heard that Gu An also managed the caves for the outer disciples, he begged for a long time, and only this time did Gu An agree to take him with him.
Gu An had his own considerations for agreeing to take him along.
Because he heard from Zhang Chunqiu yesterday that the owner of the cave had returned, in order to prevent any accidents, he decided to take Xiaochuan with him.
If the other party has bad intentions, he might be a little cautious when he sees that there is another person around.
Gu An also didn't want to harm Xiaochuan. If something really happened, his Dragon Power Divine Yuan Gong would not be practiced in vain.
“Soon.”
Gu An said without turning his head, speaking frankly, he began to understand Zhang Chunqiu's love for him.
Having such an obedient junior brother around really makes things less stressful.
Xiaochuan wailed. He had heard these two words no less than eight times. If he had known this would happen, he would not have come.
A dozen miles is not a short distance for ordinary people, and coupled with the rugged mountain road and hot weather, Xiaochuan felt like he was about to die.
Gu An did not continue to comfort her because it was really almost time.
About half a cup of tea later, Gu An pushed aside the grass and came to the mountain wall. He did not open the mountain gate directly, but clasped his fists and said, "Junior Gu An, come to return the cave jade pendant to the senior."
Ogawa stood on the other side of the grass, looking at the mountain wall with curiosity.
His background is not much better than Gu An's, and he doesn't know much about the world of immortal cultivation. In his eyes, the outer disciples of Taixuan Sect are big shots.
Boom boom
The mountain gate opened, and a hoarse voice came out:
"Come in."
Gu An turned around and said to Xiao Chuan: "Wait for me outside."
Xiaochuan naturally didn't dare to follow them in. He felt that the trip was worthwhile just by seeing the wonder of the cave opening.
Gu An walked into the cave. Compared with two years ago, he was more confident.
His confidence comes from his accumulated lifespan, which has reached more than 3,400 years.
In addition to the medicinal herbs in the cave, in the past two years, Cheng Xuandan also began to order him to pick third-level herbs, so his lifespan increased rapidly.
People's self-confidence comes from their strength. Although Gu An has only cultivated a trace of spiritual power, he is no longer the same as before.
Passing through the cave, Gu An saw a man sitting at a stone table.
He was a middle-aged man, thin. His Taoist robe looked loose on him. His hair was black and white, his eye sockets were sunken, and his cheekbones were prominent. He gave people the feeling that he was very cunning.
The first time he saw him, Gu An felt that this person was not a good person.
[Zhu Moya (Qi Training Level 9): 58/130/140]
This lifespan limit is even lower than Zhang Chunqiu's, which shows that his qualifications are not as good as Zhang Chunqiu's.
The reason why his cultivation is higher than Zhang Chunqiu is probably due to the accumulation of elixirs.
Gu An was guessing in his heart, he quickly walked to Zhu Moya, took out the cave jade pendant, and presented it with both hands.
Zhu Moya took back the jade pendant and said softly, "You did a good job. I am very satisfied. There are ten middle-grade spirit stones in this bag. You can take them away."
He picked up the cloth bag on the table and handed it to Gu An.
Gu An took the cloth bag respectfully, weighed it secretly, and then thanked Zhu Moya.
"You can go back." Zhu Moya waved his hand.
Gu An nodded, saluted again, then turned and left.
As he turned around, his sharp eyes caught something, and he reacted quickly, immediately throwing over a life probe.
[Greedy and Angerous Demon (Level 2): 31/140/180]
Gu An remained calm and left quickly.
Zhu Moya looked at Gu An's back with a cold look in his eyes. When he heard the sound of the mountain gate closing, he snorted coldly and whispered to himself, "You're lucky."
The restrictions in the cave of outer disciples were very low-level. The so-called restrictions were a kind of magic mechanism. The magic mechanism of outer disciples was naturally not sophisticated, so Gu An, who was outside the cave, heard Zhu Moya's mumbling, which made him feel even more uneasy.
Sure enough, there is a problem! Gu An had previously wondered why the Greedy and Angerous Demon Ghost attacked all the way without affecting the Zhumo Cliff Cave along the way. It turned out that this guy was related to the Greedy and Angerous Demon Ghost.
"Senior brother, is everything going well?" Xiaochuan asked with concern as he looked at Gu An who was walking towards him.
Gu An smiled and said, "It went well. Let's go. We should go back."
Xiaochuan nodded, and the two walked in the direction they came from. After they walked away, Xiaochuan began to ask what kind of person the owner of the cave was.
Gu An's simple description made Xiaochuan fascinated.
During the rest of the journey, Gu An had no intention of paying attention to Xiaochuan. His mind was full of the greedy, angry, demonic ghosts and Zhu Moya's words.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
No, I can't pretend I didn't see this, it's too dangerous! Gu An thought of the spiritual stone left by Chu Jingfeng and decided to ask Chu Jingfeng for help.
But before that, he had to improve his strength just in case.
Gu An hadn’t spent any money on kryptonian for three years, and he got excited just thinking about it.
The Dragon Force Divine Energy Technique can restrain his aura, so even if he has spiritual power, he can hide it well. This time, he plans to improve his cultivation first, and then improve his offensive means.
"Is it the evolution of Canfeng Leg, or the Seven Swords of the Li Family?"
Gu An began to worry about this problem.
An hour later, the two finally returned to the Medicine Valley. Gu An took Xiaochuan's bamboo basket and walked towards his own yard.
The bamboo baskets were filled with common medicinal herbs they picked along the way.
Ogawa was exhausted and had no energy to do anything else, so he went straight to his yard.
Gu An returned to the room and closed the door. He put the bamboo basket and cloth bag on the table, then went to the bed.
He took a deep breath and first sensed the breath of other people in the Medicine Valley.
Meng Lang was practicing magic in the woods, Cheng Xuandan was refining pills, and Zhang Chunqiu was struggling to absorb energy.
Well, no one should pay attention to him.
Gu An brought up the properties panel.
[Name: Gu An]
【Lifespan: 19/3463】
[Spiritual roots: Five elements with good spiritual roots (can be invested in life evolution and practice)]
[Cultivation: Qi training level 1 (can be used to practice lifespan evolution)]
[Kung Fu: Fire Control Technique (not yet mastered), Spring Wood Technique (not yet mastered), Dragon Power Divine Yuan Technique (mastered), (can be used to practice Life Evolution)]
[Unique Skills: Canfeng Leg (not yet mastered), Li Family Seven Swords (not yet mastered) (Can be used to practice Life Evolution)]
…
Gu An carefully invested one year of his life into the evolution of his cultivation.
[You have been practicing Qi for a year. Because of your mediocre aptitude and mediocre technique, your cultivation has not improved much.]
As soon as this line of prompts came out, Gu An felt the changes in his body.
One strand of spiritual power turned into two strands...
The corners of Gu An's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he had to look at Haruki Isao.
He only mastered this kind of Qi-absorbing technique. As for the fire-controlling technique, it was an auxiliary technique. An old slave taught him this when he was burning firewood at Ji's house. As the name suggests, it was about controlling fire power.
"Forget it. I won't wait for a more advanced technique. Anyway, I can use my lifespan to evolve it. Even the most ordinary technique can be upgraded to a peerless divine technique with me..."
When Gu An thought about this, his eyes became firm.
He chose to devote a hundred years of his life to Haruki Kō for evolutionary training.
[You have been practicing Chunmu Kungfu for a year. Due to your mediocre understanding and aptitude, your attainments in Chunmu Kungfu have improved only slightly.]
[You have practiced Chunmu Kungfu for ten years. You have finally mastered Chunmu Kungfu. Your speed of absorbing Qi has increased.]
[You have practiced Chunmu Kung Fu for fifty years. Your Chunmu Kung Fu has finally reached its peak, and your speed of absorbing Qi has reached ten times that of before.]
[You have practiced Chunmu Kungfu for a hundred years. You have a new understanding of Chunmu Kungfu. Chunmu Kungfu has been promoted to Chunyuan Jue.]
A stream of memories flooded into Gu An's mind, all of which were memories of practicing Chun Yuan Jue.
The Chun Yuan Jue was far less complicated than the Long Jin Shen Yuan Gong, so it didn't take long for Gu An to open his eyes.
After opening his eyes, he first listened to the voices of other people in the Medicine Valley. Xiaochuan had fallen asleep and the others were busy with their own things, so no one noticed him for the time being.
Now here comes the question.
Should I continue to improve Chun Yuan Jue, or should I directly use Chun Yuan Jue to evolve my cultivation?
The higher the attainment in martial arts, the faster Gu An can improve his cultivation, which can also save the investment of life.
After much thought, Gu An felt that the technique was the most important and should not be taken lightly.
Let’s spend a thousand years on it first!
