Chapter 92: 700,000 Years of Life, Ancient Species
Gu An almost couldn't hold back after hearing Shen Zhen's words. He quickly clarified, "How is that possible? I was just trying to scare you. I can't possibly write such a book."
He had to explain, lest Shen Zhen tarnish his innocence.
Shen Zhen stared at him, as if trying to see through him, but he remained calm and had a clear conscience.
"Okay, then I believe you." Shen Zhen said softly, but her tone was different from before, making Gu An unable to figure out what she was thinking.
Gu An walked to the tea table and started to make tea with hot water.
When he brought the tea bowl to Shen Zhen, Shen Zhen just said: "Actually, I came to see you for another matter."
"Speak." Gu An responded and sat down at the table.
Shen Zhen said, "It is said that the old man Tian in the Medicine Valley is the current sect leader Lv Baitian. Is that true?"
Gu An felt that there was nothing to hide in this matter, so he nodded.
Speaking of which, Gu Zong and Ji Hantian have not come here since the war ended half a year ago. I wonder if they were dealt with by Lu Baitian.
The ancient sect is still okay, as it is obviously from the Lu Baitian faction, but Ji Hantian had scolded Lu Baitian in the Third Medicine Valley and even said openly that he wanted to be the sect leader.
"I would like you to help introduce me to Master Lu. I will do so in my personal capacity, not on behalf of the Daotian Sect." Shen Zhen stared at Gu An and said.
Gu An frowned, looking hesitant.
Shen Zhen took out a redwood box from his storage bag and said, "This is a sixth-level spiritual tree, the Purple Mist Bamboo. One section can form a bamboo forest. Planting it on the edge of the medicine valley will automatically form a purple mist maze. The bamboo shoots of the Purple Mist Bamboo are top-grade medicinal materials and are very expensive."
"What do you mean? What is our relationship? Is it necessary to do this?"
Gu An said in a deep voice, then put the mahogany box into the storage bag, and then said seriously: "As long as you ask for your help, I will naturally help you. This will not happen again!"
Shen Zhen was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and covered his mouth with his hands.
When she smiles, her eyes are really beautiful.
Gu An thought so, and after he joked like this, the awkward atmosphere between the two disappeared, and the subsequent conversation returned to its previous state.
After chatting for a long time, Shen Zhen finally left.
Gu An began to wander around the Medicine Valley, choosing a suitable place to plant purple mist bamboo.
In the end, he chose to plant purple mist bamboo in the southern marginal mountainous area and sent Tang Yu to guard there.
He began to look forward to Lu Baitian's arrival.
It wasn't because of Shen Zhen's consideration, he was thinking about Lu Baitian's promise.
Lu Baitian said that if you have any needs, you can come to him!
Gu An does not want a fourth medicine valley for the time being. Instead, he wants high-level medicinal herb seeds to gradually replace the low-level ones. If he can plant high-level seeds within a radius of 100 miles, his lifespan and income will see a leap forward.
As long as he reaches a million lifespans and unlocks new features, he will improve himself in all aspects! Days pass by.
It was not until early autumn that Lu Baitian finally arrived.
He was wearing a black robe with dragon pattern, his black hair curled under a jade crown, and his face was dignified. He was completely different from the old Tian. Now he fully demonstrated the aura of a sect leader.
As soon as they met, Gu An threw a lifespan probe at him.
[Lü Baitian (9th level of Fusion Realm): 755/3150/3200]
Good fellow, he really reached the ninth level of the fusion realm! And his lifespan was close to the limit, it was difficult to improve further.
Gu An suddenly thought of something. Could it be that Chu Xian's sacrificial formation in the outer gate was prepared for Lu Baitian? No, the Chu family was destroyed by Lu Baitian, so it shouldn't be his doing.
Gu An was thinking as he greeted Lu Baitian.
The two went into the house to talk.
Lu Baitian took out four booklets from his storage bag, placed them on the table, and said, "I founded Zun Pavilion according to your suggestion. These are the four members of Zun Pavilion. You can take a look."
Upon hearing this, Gu An immediately picked up a booklet and discovered that it contained not only the names and portraits of the members of Zun Ge, but also various detailed information, including their life experiences.
He flipped through it quickly, seemingly perfunctorily, but in fact he wrote down all the information.
The last booklet belongs to Fudao Sword Master. It only contains his name and experience of taking action. The immortal cultivation world calls him Feiye Sword Master, and the Taixuan Sect respects him as Fudao Sword Master.
Fudao Jianzun, Gu Gua, Ji Hengshi, Zhou Yu! It's really exaggerated, they are exactly the three most powerful families in the Taicang Dynasty! And they are all at the level of Fusion Realm!
Gu An had never seen these three people before.
Now he has seen six people in the fusion realm, namely Lü Baitian, Ji Hantian, Gu Gua, Ji Hengshi, Zhou Yu and Lei Zhen, and this is not the full strength of Taixuan Sect.
Gu An always remembered that the strongest person in Taixuan Sect was the eldest disciple, who had already left the Taicang Dynasty.
I wonder if Taixuan Sect has a supreme elder? Gu An was shocked and asked, "Master, it's not appropriate for me to see this kind of thing, right?"
Lu Baitian smiled and said, "If you want to write a book similar to Investiture of the Gods next time, you can write about Taixuan Sect. After all, Taixuan Sect in Taixuan Immortal Venerable is a bit of a joke and not deep enough."
"I'll read it later. Let's finish writing Taixuan Xianzun first."
Gu An responded that Taixuan Xianzun had at least five million words, and he only published one book every year, each of which had only a few hundred thousand words. Sometimes he even wrote one book every two years, so it was still a long time before he finished it.
The main reason is that the income from spiritual stones brought by Taixuan Immortal Venerable is huge, far exceeding that of The Investiture of the Gods, and he does not want to give it up for the time being.
Lu Baitian smiled and didn't urge him.
Gu An told Shen Zhen's request at the right time, and Lu Baitian agreed immediately, saying that he could meet today, without any hesitation.
Gu An then asked, "Master, do you still count what you said to me before?"
"What? Have you changed your mind and want to be the sect leader?" Lu Baitian asked with narrowed eyes, his tone very happy.
"No, you said you would contact me anytime if you have any needs. I want more high-level herbs, and I can even help you grow them and send them to you when they are mature. I want to learn about all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs in the world to improve my planting skills." Gu An explained quickly.
Planting tips...
The corners of Lu Baitian's mouth twitched and his eyes looked strange.
In the end, Lu Baitian agreed and said that he would send someone to deliver the herb seeds in a few days.
Afterwards, Gu An got up and went to find Shen Zhen, and brought Shen Zhen to see Lu Baitian.
After the two met, Gu An went downstairs without interrupting their conversation.
This time, Lu Baitian cast a ban, so even Gu An could not eavesdrop.
The two chatted for an hour before they dispersed. Lu Baitian left first, and Shen Zhen stood beside Gu An and watched him leave.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Shen Zhen turned his head to look at him and asked with a smile: "Aren't you just curious about what we talked about?"
Gu An shook his head and said, "I don't dare to ask, and I don't want to know, for fear of causing trouble."
"I provided him with some information in exchange for Taixuan Sect's most powerful music magic. When I have mastered it, I will show it to you." Shen Zhen said with a smile. After she finished speaking, she jumped up and flew towards her cave.
Gu An didn’t think much about it. Whatever Shen Zhen did had nothing to do with him, as long as it didn’t threaten him.
He began to look forward to Lu Baitian's high-level medicinal herb seeds.
Five days later, Lu Baitian's men came and handed Gu An a storage bag, which he explored with his spiritual sense.
The quality is very high, there are hundreds of thousands of them, and there is also a booklet and a letter inside.
Gu An went back to the house to check the letter. Lu Baitian said that these seeds were provided by him personally and that the wealth of Taixuan Sect was not used. If he grew them well, he could get half of the profit. If he did not grow them well, he would have to be his apprentice.
Seeing this, Gu An felt helpless.
He just couldn't understand why Lv Baitian was so persistent in accepting him as his disciple? Was he conquered by my personality charm? ...
In a blink of an eye, five years have passed.
During these five years, no major events occurred in Taixuan Sect, and Gu An's life became very dull. Ye Lan, Shen Zhen, Li Ya, Jiang Qiong, and Gu Yu were all busy practicing and seldom came to see him.
Although the battle between good and evil ended quickly, it had a huge impact.
At noon that day, Gu An arrived at Xuan Valley through the teleportation formation.
He was in a good mood and was humming a little tune.
He had just calculated that his life income this year was expected to exceed 100,000, and his total life span was now over 700,000 years.
The million-year life span was approaching, and he couldn’t wait to become stronger.
As soon as he arrived in Xuan Valley, he felt the presence of Li Ya, who was drinking tea with Yang Ni in the attic.
Li Ya did not deliberately hide his aura, so Gu An went straight to the attic.
After Gu An entered the house, Li Ya took the lead and said, "Junior Brother Gu, I am going to leave Taixuan Sect and go to the Beihai Mountains for training. I will not come back until I reach the Nascent Soul Stage."
Gu An couldn't help but ask curiously: "Where is Beihai Mountain Range?"
Li Ya smiled and said, "The Beihai Mountains are located in the north of the Taicang Dynasty. The area is as large as the entire Taicang Dynasty and is surrounded by the Four Directions Dynasty. It is where monsters gather and where cultivators train and seek opportunities. Of course, it is also very dangerous."
When Gu An heard this, he suddenly felt that the Beihai Mountains were suitable for the next breakthrough.
Gu An couldn't imagine the commotion that would occur when leaping from the ninth level of the fusion realm to a higher realm. It would be best for him to stay away from the Taixuan Sect!
Yang Ni said, "You don't want to go find the North Sea Kun fish, do you?"
Li Ya scratched his head and said, "You discovered all this. Two years ago, there was news that the North Sea Kun Fish appeared in the mountains of the North Sea. I wanted to go and take a look. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I can get rid of those people arranged by my father."
Gu An sat down and asked, "What is the North Sea Kun fish?"
Yang Ni glanced at him and said, "You should remember the Sky-Swallowing Bird from before. There are ancient species in this world. They are different from monsters. They are extremely large in size and it is much more difficult for them to transform than monsters. Because of their huge size, they are worshipped as mountain gods and sea gods by humans in various places, and their whereabouts are mysterious."
Gu An became even more interested and began to ask what other ancient species there were in the world.
Yang Ni casually described it in a few words, which made him fascinated.
"Okay, it's time for me to go. Recently, a monster named An Hao appeared in our sect. He started preparing to form a pill at the age of 22. It's incredible. I have to practice harder and not become his stepping stone." Li Ya stood up and said.
When Gu An heard this, he also felt that An Hao’s cultivation speed was really fast.
This shows that Lu Baitian values An Hao very much and has invested a lot of resources in his cultivation.
While Gu An was thinking, Li Ya climbed out the window and left.
Bad habits that can't be changed! Gu An looked at Yang Ni and asked, "He's gone, what about you?"
"I'm not leaving. It's a different kind of fun to follow you and plant flowers and grass. It's better than fighting and killing." Yang Ni replied.
