The sky is crisp and the early autumn wind makes me feel happy.
The Third Medicine Valley.
Gu An was picking herbs, and Lu Lingjun followed suit, holding a bamboo basket in his hand to receive the herbs he had packed.
"I see you don't do anything important on weekdays, so why do you need me to protect you?" Lu Lingjun said resentfully.
A dignified elder from the inner sect, protecting an outer disciple?
If word spreads, it will bring shame to the elders of Taixuan Sect’s inner sect!
"I don't bother you much on weekdays. You enjoy the treatment of the inner sect elders and can enlighten yourself under the Xuanqing tree. Many elders envy you." Gu An said casually, the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.
The herbs being harvested now are all sixth-level herbs, and each one can bring a life span of sixty to one hundred years!
It’s still fun to plant flowers and grass!
Killing a Fusion Realm monk will most likely only last so long, and it will also involve grievances!
Hearing Gu An's words, Lu Lingjun thought it was reasonable, but she still felt that her errand was too humiliating, which at least showed that Lu Baitian did not respect her.
Lu Lingjun has already set a new goal in his heart.
That is to be the master of Taixuan Sect!
Since Lu Baitian tied her and Gu An together, she had to establish a better relationship with Gu An.
Gu An still has a huge advantage. The high-end medicinal herbs in this medicine valley alone are enough to give Gu An a lot of say.
After that, she protected Gu An, then borrowed Gu An's medicinal herbs to win over people, established a power group centered on the two of them, and then gradually planned it.
When Lu Lingjun thought of this, a smile suddenly bloomed on his face, like a flower in bloom. Gu An happened to catch a glimpse of this scene and suddenly got goosebumps.
"With that expression on your face, are you plotting against me?" Gu An asked warily.
Lu Lingjun smiled and said: "How could I plot against you? You are my valley master. If you hadn't been the matchmaker, how could I have been treated like I am today?"
"Ahem, now I don't even limit the time you can practice under the tree. In terms of benefits, the results now are better, aren't they? After all, there are only a handful of seventh-level treasure trees in Taixuan Sect."
Gu An pretended to cough, then he continued to pick grass with his head down.
"Yes, yes, you are right. Anyway, I owe you a favor and I will repay it in the future."
"That's pretty much it."
Lu Lingjun no longer disturbed Gu An's work.
After a moment of burning incense, the two returned.
Along the way, Lu Lingjun asked: "Valley Master, do you want to improve your cultivation? The fact that you can reach the gold list means that your qualifications are not bad, but you don't usually like to practice."
The higher Gu An's cultivation is, the more beneficial it will be to her plan!
"Even if I'm not bad, I'm definitely not a genius. I'm on the list because of magic weapons. Don't try to persuade me. I practice hard. Even if I live for seven or eight hundred years, I end up spending most of my life practicing.
, why don’t I just enjoy life? If I don’t practice, I’ll avoid taking detours, and my talent is not as great as yours.”
Gu An spoke eloquently, but for some reason, Lu Lingjun felt a sense of sadness.
As an ascendant, along the way, she has indeed seen too many people who have never escaped the fate of their lives.
How many people have practiced hard for their whole lives, and finally died of tribulation, vendetta, or inner demons.
Even if it was her, she thought carefully about it, could the total number of happy times in this life really be as much as the person in front of her?
At this moment, Gu An's image in Lu Lingjun's heart changed.
Although Gu An's cultivation level is low, he has an open-mindedness and a pattern of life that are hard to match.
Lu Lingjun followed Gu An's footsteps and asked: "Valley Master, do you think I should learn from you?"
"Learn from me? It's a joke. Your level has already proven your talent. Life in this world is about competing for words. My qualifications are not good, so I strive for the thickness of life. You have great qualifications, so you should pursue the length of life."
Gu An said casually that he would not let others imitate him. After all, he could take away life span, but others could not.
His rhetoric was just to hide his true strength, not to guide others.
After Lu Lingjun heard this, he admired Gu An even more.
The two of them were chatting like this while returning to the attic area.
Gu An waited until night before arriving at Xuantian Cave.
Half a month has passed since I exchanged magical powers with Master Xuanmiao.
Gu An planted the seven seventh-level heavenly and earthly treasures of Master Xuanmiao in the Xuantian Cave. He is not afraid that the cave will be exposed. Even if it is exposed in the future, at worst, Xuantian Cave will be moved away. He can use Ruyi to shrink the entire mountain.
, and then move it away.
Because these seven seeds were of high quality, he would come here every other day, fearing that they would grow crookedly or conflict with each other.
After checking, it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and Gu An smiled.
Now he is reaping the benefits of life all year round, so traveling back and forth is not tiring for him and he is still full of interest.
When the next breakthrough occurs, he plans to open a cave elsewhere and recruit people to help him take care of the new cave. He will be responsible for picking.
Those who take care of caves should be able to endure loneliness.
But that’s all for another day.
He walked to the wooden house, took out the Ziwei Formation Record and a bunch of formation materials, and began to try to build the formation.
The new cave will definitely require a lot of formations, and he needs to prepare in advance.
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away, hidden in a Taoist temple in the mountains and forests.
Master Xuanmiao is sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, cultivating the nine-pole yin and yang body. His hands are constantly changing the magic formula, and traces of dark cyan demonic energy overflow from the body and surround the whole body.
Knock knock——
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Master Xuanmiao said without opening his eyes: "Come in."
After the words fell, the door was pushed open, and the fox demon boy walked in.
He came to kneel down in front of Master Xuanmiao and whispered: "Master, I just had a nightmare."
"What nightmare?"
"I dreamed that the sky opened, and countless demons and demons rushed out, massacring all the creatures on the ground. I also saw a huge and terrifying tree with a face growing on it..."
The fox demon boy replied, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but tremble, whether because of fear or the cold wind blowing in from outside.
Master Xuanmiao opened his eyes, and the demonic energy around him dissipated. He took out his compass and began to perform magic deductions.
The young fox demon stared at him, very curious about the compass in his hand.
The compass burst out with light, and stars rose into the sky. Master Xuanmiao raised his other hand and pointed at the fox demon boy's forehead.
The fox demon boy was unable to move immediately. His eyes widened and he looked up.
Master Xuan Miao's fingers pulled out strips of light from his forehead, and then directed them into the light stars above the compass.
boom--
A layer of air waves burst out from above the compass, and then, those light stars exploded, forming an illusion, which was exactly the dream of the young fox demon.
In the illusion, the sky is constantly torn, and black cracks are all over the mountains and forests. Countless demons and black-robed monks rush out, sweeping everything in the mountains and forests. Wherever they are given, the black mist spreads, and all living things are exhausted.
It turned into white bones.
All kinds of horrifying scenes made Xuan Miao frown.
After watching for a while, his expression changed drastically because he saw Beihai!
The young fox demon looked at it with the same fear. Even if it was his own dream, he didn't want to remember it anymore.
for a long time.
Master Xuanmiao put the compass away, walked out of the Taoist temple, and came to the courtyard. He took out a piece of yellow paper, quickly wrote a line of words on it, folded it after writing, and then burned it with his own spiritual fire.
The yellow paper was burned into fly ashes, which shone with a faint light and disappeared quickly.
The fox demon boy asked from behind: "Master, what are you doing?"
"My teacher is delivering a message to the sect."
"Is this the Sanqing Mountain you often talk about?"
"That's right."
"Master, when can you take me to Sanqing Mountain?"
"Practice hard. Foreign disciples who want to enter Sanqing Mountain must go through many tests. Your cultivation and character are not enough for the time being."
Master Xuanmiao replied casually. He thought for a moment, gave the fox demon boy a warning, and then left the Taoist temple.
The moonlight passed through the gaps in the leaves and shone on the fox demon boy. He looked at the direction in which Master Xuanmiao was leaving. His harmless little face slowly turned cold and stern, and his eyes shone with a cold light.
"Mountain God..."
…
In Xuantian Cave Mansion, Gu An put down the brush and talisman paper in his hand, his face was stern.
[The underworld fox demon is hostile to you and is afraid of your strength. Should you use Life Detection on it?]
fear?
What is the extent of such hostility?
Should he kill?
He felt uncomfortable when he thought about the 14,000-year limit lifespan of the Underworld Fox Demon.
Although the maximum lifespan of monsters is much longer than that of humans in the same realm, as long as they live for tens of thousands of years, they will be unparalleled monsters.
Gu An raised his eyes and saw Master Xuanmiao rushing towards him with his spiritual consciousness.
Let’s meet Master Xuanmiao first.
After one stick of incense.
Master Xuanmiao came to the mountain forest. He knelt on the ground and said loudly: "I have something to ask of the mountain god."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mountain god appeared out of thin air on a branch not far away without any warning, making Master Xuanmiao secretly admire the mountain god for his vast supernatural powers.
Before Gu An could speak, Master Xuanmiao took out his compass and while casting spells, he told about his disciple's dream.
After Compass finished evolving the dream, Master Xuanmiao then said: "There is Beihai in the dream. This may be the disaster of Beihai."
Gu An secretly thought it was troublesome.
It’s Epiphyllum Cult again!
The tree in the dream is the Epiphyllum Epiphyllum tree. It seems that the main line of the Epiphyllum Sect is preparing to launch a general attack on the land of Nine Dynasties.
How many epiphyllum trees are there?
Gu An has the idea of ​​​​wiping out the Epiphyllum Sect completely to prevent these guys from affecting his farming.
But before that, Gu An was going to give the underworld fox demon some eye drops.
"Your disciple is not a simple person. Whether it will be a disaster or a blessing is unpredictable." Gu An said leisurely.
Hearing this, Master Xuanmiao's expression changed drastically.
He seemed to remember something, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
This reaction made Gu An feel strange.
Is my sentence so influential?
Master Xuanmiao remembered what his master had said to him before: "Xuanmiao, you have nine tribulations in this life. Each tribulation is a calamity of life and death. It comes from the intersection between you and the world. You cannot escape or escape. Only by overcoming the calamity can you overcome it."
Nirvana.”
He looked at Gu An again, his eyes full of respect.
As expected of a mountain god, he can see through fate and cause and effect.
He took a deep breath, stood up slowly, then bowed and saluted Gu An, and said: "Thank you to the mountain god for your guidance, I will be careful!"
After that, he turned and left.
Gu An tilted his head, his face under the opera mask full of confusion.
