Chapter 82: The Ancient Gold Devouring Bug, the Demonic Path Besieges Taixuan Sect

Gu An looked at Li Ya who came in through the window and said helplessly: "What treasure can compare to my windowsill?"

Li Ya, dressed in green, walked to the table, took out a bag from his waist, put it on the table, and said with a proud smile: "You will definitely like this treasure."

Gu An used his spiritual sense to explore, frowned, and asked, "Why is it a bug?"

"This is an ancient gold-eating worm. Its teeth can bite off all the gold, iron and ore in the world. If you feed them with golden spiritual energy, they can become stronger. There are a total of sixteen of them, including a female worm. It's good for guarding the house, and it can also help you dig the ground." Li Ya said with a smile.

Gu An was immediately interested when he heard this, and asked curiously, "How does this thing recognize its master?"

"There is a special method to recognize the master, and you have to drip blood and essence into the mother insect to establish a soul relationship with it." Li Ya said with a smile, and then he took out a very thin secret book from the storage bag and gave it to Gu An.

Gu An took it, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked, "How was it, was the Hundred Clan Conference going well?"

Li Ya grabbed a chair from the side and sat opposite Gu An, saying with emotion: "It wasn't smooth, but it was an eye-opener. This world is really full of masters and geniuses. My talent is nothing at all in the Hundred Clans Conference. The geniuses of the nine dynasties and hundreds of clans gathered together, and I could only barely make it into the top 100, and Zhou Tongyou only made it into the top 10."

Seeing that he was very optimistic, Gu An felt less worried.

Li Ya began to talk about what he saw and heard at the Hundred Races Conference, and Gu An listened carefully.

Halfway through listening, Gu An even stood up to pour himself some wine and drank while listening.

Li Ya kept talking until dusk, and he still had more to say.

Gu An sighed, "So, only our Third Miss can threaten Lu Xian?"

"Her Qilin Step is indeed powerful. She is the only one who injured Lu Xian. Unfortunately, when she took nine steps, she encountered a heavenly calamity and the fight was temporarily stopped. We haven't seen her since then." Li Ya nodded.

"Heavenly Tribulation? What does that mean? Is the Qilin Step that powerful?"

Gu An was surprised. Let alone nine steps, he had taken so many steps in the past two years and had never encountered any heavenly tribulation.

Li Ya shook his head and said, "How can I know? Maybe she has some secret hidden in her body."

Innate Taoist Talisman!

Gu An sighed in his heart, is this going to be... cheating?

"Compared to Ji Xiaoyu, Lu Xian's strength shocked me the most. He will be my next target. I will challenge him and win back in the future." Li Ya said with high morale.

Gu An asked: "You just said that he broke your arms and legs. Don't you hate him?"

Li Ya shook his head and said, "It was a normal fight, there's no reason to hate, and I didn't want to admit defeat at that time. I heard from a senior that he was also a pitiful man. There were other residual souls hiding in his body, trying to rob his body, so he sometimes looked abnormal, sometimes friendly to others, and sometimes violent."

Other residual souls?

Gu An breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then he would be relieved.

He had previously worried that Lu Xian was the reincarnation of an immortal, but now it doesn't sound like that.

"What does it mean? Why are there other residual souls?" Gu An asked in confusion.

"I'm not sure. It may be related to a treasure, or he may have been possessed by someone. Anyway, he will be tortured until the remaining soul in his body is cleaned up. No wonder I haven't heard of him in Taixuan Sect before. Maybe he is protected by the Lu family. By the way, his father is the previous sect master Lu Baitian."

"Lü Baitian went astray while practicing martial arts, and his son was tortured by the residual soul in his body. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not."

Li Ya frowned as he spoke. At the end, he sighed and said, "If Lv Xian was not affected by the residual soul, he would have formed a Nascent Soul by now. His strength is unimaginable."

Gu Anle was happy. He didn't expect that he would actually sympathize with Lu Xian.

“By the way, who is that senior you were talking about? He seems very powerful.” Gu An asked with pretended curiosity.

"A senior who wishes to remain anonymous. Sorry, I can't tell you."

Haha, it’s the grandfather in your body!

Gu An could feel that the soul in Li Ya was getting stronger.

He suddenly thought of something. He could feel the soul in Li Ya's body before he reached the Fusion Realm, and those great monks in the Void Crossing Realm should be able to sense it as well.

Judging from Li Ya's tone, it seemed that no one had noticed this.

Was it because Gu An's cultivation technique was too strong, or was it some other reason? Even though it was getting dark, Li Ya had no intention of leaving. He continued to chat with Gu An and began to talk about the scenery he saw during this outing.

Li Ya didn't leave until the next morning.

After he left, Gu An picked up the secret book he left behind and began to study how to make the ancient gold-eating worm recognize its master.

…

Under the clear sky, the third medicine valley.

Gu An stood in front of Mr. Tian and raised his right hand. He saw a golden insect lying on the back of his hand. At first glance, it looked like a beetle, but its mouthparts were bigger.

"The ancient gold-eating worm is a very rare thing. At least it is hard to come across it in the Taicang Dynasty." Old Tian exclaimed.

"This was given to me by my senior brother Li Ya. He ranked among the top 100 in the Hundred Clans Conference and brought me this insect. It can help us patrol the Medicine Valley in the future." Gu An said with a smile. He had mentioned Li Ya in front of Old Tian more than once. If Old Tian ever became the sect leader again, he might remember Li Ya and focus on cultivating him.

Elder Tian nodded and said, "It seems that this Li Ya is indeed a genius, and he values ​​friendship and loyalty. One ancient gold-swallowing worm is priceless, let alone sixteen of them."

Gu An opened the insect bag around his waist, and ancient gold-eating insects flew out one by one. One of them was twice as big as the others. It landed on his shoulder, while the other ancient gold-eating insects circled around him.

Xiaochuan, who was passing by, couldn't help but come over, and Gu An began to show off the insect.

By the evening, all the menial disciples in the Third Medicine Valley had seen the ancient gold-devouring bug. Gu An did this not just to show off, he was afraid that the menial disciples would attack the patrolling ancient gold-devouring bugs in the future.

…

Spring goes and autumn comes, and three years pass quickly.

Gu An has crossed the threshold of fifty years old. In the past three years, his life has been peaceful and fulfilling. His life span has exceeded 300,000 years, and his life span is still increasing every year.

This day.

Xiaochuan brought Ye Lan down from the teleportation platform.

Gu An was teasing a white rat that was as fat as a big dog. When he saw Ye Lan coming, he immediately stood up and went to greet her.

Ye Lan's face was not looking good. Facing Gu An, she said, "Brother, let's talk inside."

Gu An nodded, then took Ye Lan upstairs.

Ogawa walked towards the white rat, but the rat turned around and ran away. Ogawa was so angry that he picked up a stone and threw it at it, but unfortunately, he missed.

The other side.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

After Gu An entered the room, he closed the door.

As soon as he turned around, he heard Ye Lan speak: "Brother, Wu Xin is a spy from Qianqiu Pavilion!"

As soon as these words came out, Gu An's face changed slightly. He frowned and asked, "Nonsense, what evidence do you have?"

Ye Lan took out pieces of paper and said, "These are all the information of the disciples left by the Demon Exorcist Hall. The person who brought Wu Xin into the sect was not a spy of the Demonic Path, but if you look back, they are all spies of the Demonic Path. Moreover, Qianqiu Pavilion has been looking for the son of a Pavilion Master for many years. That person happens to be a monk with a scar on his head that cannot be erased."

Gu An took it and examined it carefully.

These papers also record who they have come into contact with on a daily basis, including Wu Xin.

Wuxin visited them several times when he went to the outer city.

I am so confused! Why can't you be more rigorous in your work?

Gu An cursed inwardly, but he was not panicked because it was Ye Lan who found out about this.

After he finished reading, he looked up at Ye Lan and asked, "How many people know about this?"

"I'm the only one here at the moment. Normally the Law Enforcement Hall won't investigate menial disciples. We did find out that the master of the outer medicine valley is a spy from Qianqiu Pavilion, but we haven't found out who it is yet. We want to continue investigating, but someone above won't let us." Ye Lan frowned and said unwillingly.

"Who forbad you to investigate?"

"The Outer Sect's Great Elder is Jiang Qiong, but her people said that the order came from the Inner Sect."

Gu An suddenly felt that it would be a good idea for Jiang Qiong to be the chief elder of the outer sect, as she could protect him from the wind and rain.

Although Gu An had never done anything for Qianqiu Pavilion, with the Cang Teng tree around, he could no longer wash away the guilt, and he did not want his peaceful farming life to be disturbed.

Gu An stepped forward, grabbed Ye Lan's shoulders with both hands, took a deep breath, and said, "Junior sister, this matter must be suppressed. Even if Wu Xin is from the devil's way, we have been together for so many years, and I believe he is not a bad person."

Ye Lan was caught by him, her pretty face suddenly turned red, she lowered her eyes and said: "Brother, are you also from Qianqiu Pavilion? If so, I am willing to go with you."

"How is that possible? I am a member of Taixuan Sect in life and a ghost of Taixuan Sect in death."

"I don't care. No matter which sect you go to in the future, you have to take me with you."

"Then can you suppress this matter?"

"Well, I have destroyed the other evidence, leaving only the one in your hand."

Gu An let go and threw the paper in his hand into the storage bag.

Don't destroy it yet, keep it just in case.

Ye Lan continued, "This is actually a small matter. I know you will protect him. I came to you for another important matter. The Demon Sect is preparing to besiege Taixuan Sect. This time it is for real. Someone in the Elder Hall of the Sect's main city has betrayed Taixuan Sect. This is the intelligence obtained by the spies arranged by the Law Enforcement Hall in the Wanyin Sect. They have already informed the higher-ups that the Sifang Inner Gate City is preparing for war."

"There are many great monks from other sects and dynasties in the outer gate. They have been here for many years, and it is difficult for Taixuanmen to drive them away. If the demons really come, the outer gate city may be in danger. There may be demon spies waiting to cooperate with the outside world."

The devil is coming?

Gu An frowned and asked, "The number of Taixuan Sect's disciples has increased dramatically in recent years. How dare they come?"

"It is said that they have joined forces with the demon clan and are planning to destroy the Taixuan Sect together and then divide the world of the Taicang Dynasty equally." Ye Lan replied with a serious expression.

Join forces with the demon clan? Gu An was confused. Don’t these demon sects know about the demon catastrophe that will come in a hundred years?

After Ye Lan revealed some more information, she left in a hurry. Gu An personally sent her to the teleportation platform from Xuan Valley to the outer gate city to avoid breaking the rules.

When Gu An was about to go back to the house, he suddenly saw Mr. Tian sitting under an old tree.

Speaking of which, he hasn't visited Mr. Tian for a long time.

This guy went to Bu Tian Tai before and his cultivation level increased by two levels, but there has been no movement since then, which is really strange.

While thinking about it, Gu An threw out a lifespan probe.

Third update!

As always, I'm asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets~ (End of this chapter)
