Gu An originally wanted to use the name of Xu Zhonglin, the original author of Fengshen Romance, but he thought that he would write other books to make extra money, so he thought of another name.
Liu Chang and Zhu Qinglu didn't think much about it. Pan An just changed his last name compared to Gu An, and they could understand.
Later, Liu Chang began to tell Gu An, mainly to remind him what should not be written, and he secretly asked Gu An to write Taixuanmen into it, and to create a good image.
Even if you don't write about Taixuanmen, you can still use it as a metaphor. In short, the more you praise Taixuanmen, the better the treatment you will get in the future.
Gu An could only agree to this, and whether he would do it or not would be discussed later.
Writing books is just something he does in his spare time, and he doesn't put a lot of thought into it.
After Liu Chang finished speaking, Gu Yu came up to him and said excitedly: "Brother, have you written other books?"
Gu An shook his head and said, "This is my first time writing."
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. I am very optimistic about you. You may be able to surpass Qingxia's status in Taixuan Sect." Gu Yu patted Gu An on the shoulder and said with a familiar expression.
When Gu An heard this, he immediately became interested and asked, "Do you know Qingxia?"
Gu Yu raised his eyebrows and said: "You also like his travel notes? I don't know him, I only know that he is a certain monk from Taixuan Sect. I asked Mr. Liu, but he refused to tell me whether he was alive or dead."
Liu Chang laughed, pulled Zhu Qinglu and walked out, saying: "Come with me for a walk, reminisce about old times, and let the younger generation chat with them."
Zhu Qinglu nodded, and the two quickly left the lobby.
Gu Yu asked Gu An about the details of writing the novel "The Romance of the Gods". Gu An saw that Mr. Liu's attitude towards him was not simple, so he answered patiently.
After a full hour passed, Gu An followed Zhu Qinglu and left the library.
"The identity of the disciple named Gu Yu is not simple. There are not many juniors who can be treated like this by Liu Chang." Zhu Qinglu said meaningfully.
Gu An nodded, but he had no intention of having a close friendship with Gu Yu. Such a person would easily make his life unstable.
The two did not always travel together. After they separated, Gu An began to purchase medicinal herb seeds and a batch of clothes.
He didn't return to Xuan Valley until nightfall.
The days passed day by day.
Another new year has arrived, and Xuangu's second Spring Festival went more smoothly without any twists and turns. The atmosphere was more cheerful than the first year. Gu An sent food to Jiang Qiong as in previous years.
He began to calculate the days and prepare to welcome Jiang Qiong to leave.
After Jiang Qiong leaves, he will flex his muscles in the Bajing Cave and plant it full of spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses.
After the New Year, Gu An took Wu Xin to the outer sect and once again selected three handyman disciples, this time two women and one man, named Yan Mei, Yang Min, and Ye Yan.
The three of them are the same age, only eighteen years old, and they are looking forward to the upcoming life in Xuangu.
Becoming a handyman disciple can not only earn spiritual stones, but also have the opportunity to pass on the master's magic.
This time, Gu An not only wanted to recruit handyman disciples, but also to guide Wu Xin so that he could completely get used to his identity as a disciple so that he could help him run errands in the future.
After returning to Xuan Valley, Gu An asked Wu Xin to take the three of them to get to know other people in the valley, while he walked into the mountain forest on the north side to prepare some plans.
He wants to make the nearby mountains and forests full of medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs he turned in last year can already be ranked among the top ten in the Outer Medicine Valley. Zhu Qinglu attaches more importance to him and improves his salary. Now he has nine servant disciples, which is more than enough. He even
Want to recruit more.
It is difficult for people to be content with the status quo. This is how Gu An thinks about his annual life expectancy income. If his life expectancy this year is not as good as last year, he will feel uncomfortable.
Gu An stood under the tree, scanned the woods, and began to draw the park in his mind.
The white spirit rat suddenly jumped out of the forest. When he saw it, Gu An felt both headache and anticipation.
I am afraid that it will pick up a good treasure, but I also hope that it will pick up a good treasure.
It jumped all the way to Gu An's feet and spit out a jade ring from its mouth.
Gu An raised his hand to take a picture and stuffed the jade ring into his belt, wanting to check it in private.
He picked up the white spirit rat and stopped it from running around.
"Good performance, I'll feed you a cane fruit tonight." Gu An said with a smile.
The white spirit rat seemed to understand, and stopped struggling, instead lying obediently in his arms.
After Gu An paused for half a stick of incense, he turned and left the forest. He stood on the grass next to the park, waiting for someone to arrive.
Not long after, a sound broke through the air.
An outer disciple came with a sword and quickly landed next to Gu An. His figure attracted the attention of other Xuangu disciples.
"Big brother! I'm back!"
The visitor was none other than Lu Jiujia, who had gone to take the outer sect examination before. After putting on the outer sect robe, he looked completely different from before.
Gu An smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't come back."
Lu Jiujia scratched his head and said: "How is that possible? I started to retreat after I got the foundation building pill. After the foundation building was successful, I rushed back as soon as possible to share the joy with you."
Gu An smiled and stretched out his hand to squeeze his shoulder. His body bones had indeed become stronger.
At this time, other people gathered around him and excitedly asked him about his feelings in the Foundation Establishment Realm. He answered them one by one with high spirits.
When Gu An met Lu Jiujia for the first time, he was only fifteen years old. Now seeing his beauty, Gu An could only feel happy.
On the road to eternal life, a person is too lonely. If the people he interacts with can die well, he will have less regrets.
Lu Jiujia's return made Xuan Valley lively, and Yan Mei and the other three who had just entered the valley were also greatly encouraged. They saw a channel for upward growth.
If you work hard in Xuan Valley, you can hope to be promoted to the outer sect!
That night, Gu An studied the jade ring that the White Spirit Rat had brought back, and the restrictions inside were forcibly broken through by his spiritual consciousness. As a result, he found that it was full of spiritual stones.
Windfall?
Gu An has more expectations for the white spirit rat, and it successfully obtains the right to eat the cang fruit.
Lu Jiujia stayed in Xuan Valley for a month and then left. Everyone knew that after he left, it was likely that they would never see each other again in this life, unless they could also become outer disciples.
…
In the blink of an eye, two years have passed, and Gu An is already thirty years old, but after taking Zhuyan Dan, he looks only about twenty years old.
His life span has exceeded 30,000 years!
Xuan Gu is expanding in size, and the number of outer disciples who ask him to take care of the cave has reached eleven, and his lifespan is increasing every month.
Life is busy and fulfilling, but he does not feel tired at all, but full of fighting spirit.
Midsummer has arrived, the moon and stars are sparse, and fireflies are glowing in the quiet mountains and forests.
In the mountain forest, Jiang Qiong, dressed in white, was walking in front. Her feet were bare and she didn't feel any discomfort even if she stepped on the branches.
Gu An followed behind, silent.
"Okay, that's it for now."
Jiang Qiong stopped, turned to look at Gu An and said.
Gu An nodded. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, be careful on your way out. After all, this is still within the scope of Taixuan Sect."
After being together for so many years, Jiang Qiong taught him so many spells. To say that he didn't have any feelings at all would be a lie.
But more than this feeling, Gu An wanted her to leave.
Jiang Qiong nodded, raised her right hand, and there was a blue book in her hand. She threw the secret book directly to Gu An.
"Practice well. Next time I come back, I will examine your cultivation. If you disappoint me, Master will beat you." Jiang Qiong threatened a child and waved his fist, making Gu An dumbfounded.
Before he could answer, Jiang Qiong disappeared out of thin air, and Gu An could feel her demonic energy leaving quickly.
In the dim forest, the corners of Gu An's mouth raised slightly. He turned and walked towards Xuangu while looking at the secret book in his hand.
Ziwei Array Record!
He briefly flipped through it and found that every page of the book had special restrictions. The pages used words to introduce the formations, but the practice of the formations needed to be explored with spiritual consciousness.
Something!
Gu An thought of the formations in the Eight Views Cave Heaven. It was those formations that caused so many great monks from the Taixuan Sect to fly over the Xuan Valley, but they were unable to capture the existence of the Cangvine Tree.
Although Jiang Qiong is only at the ninth level of the Dan Jie Realm, her formations and alchemy attainments far exceed those of the Dan Jie Realm. After all, she reached the Dan Jie Realm at the age of forty, and has been studying formations and alchemy ever since. She said that in
During the years when she was pretending to be dead, she had been thinking about formations.
Gu An suddenly felt that the Ziwei Array Record in his hand was heavy.
The moon sets and the sun rises.
Early morning comes.
Jiang Qiong's departure only affected Gu An, and life in Xuangu remained as usual.
After Gu An led his disciples to practice, he took Ye Lan back to his attic.
He took out the small wooden box that he had prepared and handed it to Ye Lan. The small wooden box was square and finely made, as if there were jewels hidden inside.
Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, then curiously opened the wooden box, and then she saw a pill placed in the box.
"Elder brother, what kind of elixir is this?" Ye Lan asked.
Gu An sat at the table, pouring himself tea, and said with a smile: "The Foundation Establishment Pill is specially prepared for you. Don't tell anyone. If the disciples in the valley can reach the ninth level of the Qi Training Realm in the future, I will also give it to you."
, but we can’t let them know in advance that I have the Foundation Establishment Pill, so as not to cause trouble.”
Foundation Building Pill!
Ye Lan's eyes widened and she subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Gu An stepped in first and said: "Don't worry, I left a foundation-building pill for myself. When you succeed in building the foundation, you might be able to become my outer sect in the future."
I have a strong supporter and practice hard, that is my reward."
"I..." Ye Lan was in a complicated mood. There were many things she wanted to say, but she couldn't.
Gu An said earnestly: "Life is a long road, and people will always have many ideas. Don't forget what your greatest pursuit is in this life."
Although Ye Lan has not pestered him often in these years, her eyes are so gentle every time she looks at him. He can sometimes overhear the discussions of other disciples, and everyone can see her affection for him.
Gu An's feelings for Ye Lan are just that of brother and sister, and have not reached the level of wanting to stay with her for a lifetime. Moreover, he only has cultivation in his heart.
After hearing this, Ye Lan nodded heavily and said softly: "Senior Brother, don't worry, I will practice hard and won't let you down. I will work hard to climb up and take care of you in the future."
At this point, she even winked at Gu An.
Gu An smiled and then waved her hand to indicate that she could leave.
Ye Lan put the Foundation Establishment Pill away and turned to leave. She closed the door smoothly, but when she was about to close it, she suddenly said: "Elder brother, no matter where I go in the future, I will not be tempted by other men. I just want to
You will be the only one."
After saying that, she slammed the door shut and left as if running away.
Chapter completed!
