If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 101 The Divine Scripture of China: The Fear of the Integration Realm
Gu An had no idea what Yang Ni was thinking. He chose Lu Jiujia simply because there was no other option.

As for Yang Ni, in his view, this woman would leave sooner or later, so he never considered making her his senior disciple.

As night fell, after the banquet ended and everyone returned to their rooms, Gu An quietly went to the Eight Views Cave.

Recently, he has been studying the Myriad Gu Mystic Technique and has gained considerable insights.

He arrived under the old vine tree, and suddenly a figure emerged from a cave, moving with the speed of a gust of wind, kicking up bits of grass along the way.

The visitor was none other than Meng Lang, who had transformed into a Gu corpse.

Gu An manipulated Meng Lang with his mind, directing Meng Lang to pick a ripe herb.

After Meng Lang picked the fruit, Gu An waited for a long time but did not receive the notification that the lifespan had been successfully seized.

Plan failed!

It seems I'll have to do everything myself from now on!

Gu An felt a little regretful, but not disappointed. The harvests from the Third Medicine Valley and Tianya Valley had already begun, and his annual lifespan income was at least 100,000 years, and it was still increasing.

They can reach a lifespan of tens of millions of years in less than a hundred years!
Gu An was already quite satisfied with this speed. After all, how many realms could an ordinary cultivator cultivate in a hundred years?

Gu An let Meng Lang return to the cave, while he took out the Heavenly Sword and began to practice the Wood Spirit Sword Technique.

……

The next morning, Gu An came down from the pavilion and led his disciples in exercises. Yang Ni also joined in. After the exercises, Yang Ni quickly went to the mountains and forests.

Gu An sensed that something was wrong with her expression; she was acting very strangely today. So he observed her for a while and saw Yang Ni sowing seeds in the forest. His eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

Some of the seeds looked unfamiliar!

Gu Anke was a Mahayana cultivator with a photographic memory and keen observation skills. He immediately recognized that the seed in her hand was a type he had never seen before.

He immediately walked over and came up behind Yang Ni.

"What are you planting?" Gu An asked curiously, and while Yang Ni got up, he threw a lifespan probe into her palm.

【Epiphyllum (Tier 6): 0/120/5000】

A sixth-tier spirit flower?

Its name is still Ephemeral Flower!

Gu An couldn't help but associate it with the Ephemeral Flower Sect.

Yang Ni replied, "I got these seeds from an enemy's storage bag. I don't know what they're called. These seeds have been in my bag for decades, and I only took them out to plant them today."

"Is that so?" Gu An asked thoughtfully.

Yang Ni observed his expression and said, "Yes, it can't be planted?"

"Plant it."

Gu An smiled, without pointing out the origin of the flower.

How could he refuse Yang Ni's request to plant a sixth-tier spirit flower?

Anyway, he's the one who harvests the herbs she grows.

Immediately afterward, Gu An offered Yang Ni a few words of encouragement before turning and leaving.

Yang Ni looked at his back and became even more puzzled by him.

"I was actually intimidated by a Foundation Establishment kid," Yang Ni thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile, then squatted down and continued planting the epiphyllum.

Regardless of Gu An's guesses, as long as she was given the chance to grow epiphyllum, she would!

She glanced at Gu An's retreating figure and thought to herself, "Once I've achieved some success, I'll save your life and then introduce you to the Ephemeral Flower Sect."

Having known each other for many years, she quite liked Gu An and felt it would be a great pity if such a junior died in sectarian strife.

Such a talent is suitable to be brought into the Ephemeral Sect to continue shining brightly.

……

After the Spring Festival, as all things revive, Tai Xuan Sect once again welcomes a lively atmosphere.

In early March, Gu An and Shen Zhen were discussing books in the building when they suddenly sensed something and put down their books.

Gu An coughed lightly and said, "Put all these things away."

Shen Zhen blushed slightly and quickly put all the drawing papers on the table into her storage bag.

After tidying everything up, the two went downstairs.

They arrived at the open space in front of the pavilion and saw cultivators flying in from the horizon. Gu An spotted a familiar face, Ji Xiaoyu.

There were eleven cultivators in total, and Gu An continuously used his lifespan to probe them.

Apart from the cultivator leading the way, the other ten were all under a hundred years old, with the lowest cultivation level being the eighth level of the Core Formation Realm, and two of them even reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

Those in the Nascent Soul stage under a hundred years old possess terrifying talent.

These geniuses have a lifespan of at least two thousand years.

The cultivator who led the way was named Lü Chen, who was at the second level of the Void Transcending Realm. After landing, he cupped his hands to Gu An and said, "These ten are the disciples that the sect leader instructed to come here to cultivate their minds. They are all handed over to you, Valley Master."

He was very polite to Gu An, without the airs of a Void Transcending Realm cultivator, which made Gu An very curious about how Lü Baitian did his job.

The Lu family members are all very good at interpersonal relationships!
Gu An raised his hand in a gesture of respect and said, "Thank you for your trouble, senior."

Seeing his courteous manners, Lü Chen smiled, nodded, and then leaped away.

Gu An looked at the ten geniuses of the Tai Xuan Sect, and these ten geniuses were also sizing him up.

"Miss Shen, what are you doing here?" A man in blue asked with a frown, looking displeased as he saw Shen Zhen standing behind Gu An.

This person is named Liu Yu, with a cultivation level of the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm and a maximum lifespan of 2,409 years!
Shen Zhen ignored him and said to Gu An, "Since you have guests at Medicine Valley, I'll be leaving now. We can be alone together another time."

After saying that, she leaped into the air and quickly disappeared behind the mountains.

Alone?

The way everyone looked at Gu An became strange, and a cold glint flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.

[Liu Yu is hostile towards you and wants to attack you. Do you want to use lifespan detection on him?] He wants to attack me?
How intense is this hatred?
Gu An said, "Miss Shen and I just enjoy reading and occasionally exchange ideas. We have no other relationship. She told me that her goal as a Daoist partner is to become the Sword Master of the Dao."

Everyone present was a young genius, and upon hearing this, they couldn't help but laugh. Liu Yu gave an awkward smile and cast an apologetic glance at Gu An.

They weren't stupid. Lu Baitian had personally chosen Gu An to lead them, so Gu An must have some extraordinary abilities. Even if he didn't, he was still Lu Baitian's man, and they dared not offend him.

Geniuses are favored by the Tai Xuan Sect, but geniuses are not people who can do whatever they want. At least, if Lü Baitian wants to mess with them, their families have to think twice.

Ji Xiaoyu asked, "Valley Master, please give us your instructions on what to do."

As soon as she spoke, everyone else stopped smiling and looked at Gu An expectantly.

The sect leader said that coming here could help one cultivate one's mind, and they subconsciously assumed that cultivating one's mind would help with cultivation.

Gu An laughed and said, "Then come with me. Don't complain about being tired or suffering. No one can stop halfway. Only a good-for-nothing would give up halfway."

Upon hearing this, the geniuses became even more eager, their eyes flashing with lightning as they looked at each other.

Even geniuses have a competitive spirit!

Afterwards, Gu An led them to a mountain forest dozens of miles away, where he had them clear the land, taught them how to plant seeds, and then took them around to inspect medicinal herbs.

Although it was a very ordinary matter, the ten disciples took it very seriously and dared not miss a single stone along the way.

For several days in a row, some people couldn't hold back any longer.

The disciple named Changzang couldn't help but stop, look at Gu An, and ask in a deep voice, "Are you playing us? Is cultivating the mind just about making us medicine boys?"

Everyone else looked at Gu An, and even Ji Xiaoyu frowned.

Gu An knew this was a bad idea, but Lü Baitian insisted on doing it anyway.

After sighing, he took out ten books from his storage bag and tossed them to the ten people.

Everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they all took the books.

"The Divine Land Classic?" Someone read the title, their eyes lighting up.

This name is anything but ordinary.

Gu An turned around and said, "You can figure it out yourselves."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving everyone to begin reading the book.

Liu Yu turned to the first page and read aloud: "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name..."

Gu An had his back to them, a smile playing on his lips.

The Divine Land Classic is not the Tao Te Ching; it is merely a collection of famous quotes from ancient Chinese classics that he remembered, compiled into a miscellaneous book that is just meant to impress people.

He couldn't bear to write out the Tao Te Ching; what if someone actually figured it out? That would be terrible.

……

Since obtaining the Divine Scripture, Ji Xiaoyu and the others have each found their own places to study it, without disturbing each other, and the Third Medicine Valley has not disrupted its normal rhythm because of them.

Five days later.

Ji Xiaoyu closed the Divine Continent Scripture, looked down at the busy disciples at the foot of the mountain, thought for a moment, stood up, and went down the mountain to help.

A genius sitting on the opposite mountaintop, seeing her actions, seemed to realize something and began to descend the mountain as well.

They couldn't comprehend the Divine Land Scripture, yet it certainly seemed profound and unfathomable. They recalled Gu An's initial arrangements for them, and perhaps they could gain some enlightenment in the countryside.

Ten more days passed, and all the other talented disciples devoted themselves to the miscellaneous tasks of Medicine Valley. They worked diligently every day, reading the Divine Continent Scripture in their spare time and cultivating their inner energy at night.

This pleased Gu An greatly. As expected of the ten top geniuses selected by Lü Baitian, putting aside their aptitude, none of them were fools. As long as they believed it was the right thing to do, they were truly determined to do it and stick to it.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Gu Anmai was over fifty-nine years old. On this day, he was in Tianya Valley, having just finished picking herbs, when he suddenly sensed something, his expression changed drastically, he immediately threw the herbs to Sun Da next to him, and then quickly left Tianya Valley.

This puzzled Luo Hun and his two companions in the valley, but they didn't think much of it.

Ever since learning that Gu An had mastered the Xuanwu Shocking Wave Palm, Lü Xian stopped bothering Gu An, or even anyone else. He spent his days in seclusion cultivating, as if possessed. His cultivation level increased extremely quickly, and at this rate, he would be able to condense his Nascent Soul in just a few years.

After leaving the area within a hundred miles of Tianya Valley, Gu An disappeared into thin air. Three steps later, he crossed a distance of ten thousand miles to arrive at Xuan Valley, and then used the teleportation array to arrive at the Third Medicine Valley.

After stepping off the platform, he strode towards the Xuanqing Tree.

The Xuanqing Tree is still there, and in front of it stands a person, gazing at it.

Gu An looked from afar and sent a lifespan probe:
[Zong Ying (Fourth Level of Integration Realm): 860/2800/3100]

This guy practiced a special method, so his cultivation level was only at the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Gu An became interested in the cultivation method he practiced. Although his Mahayana realm divine sense could tell that he had concealed his cultivation level, it could not see it completely.

Gu An arrived at the Xuanqing Tree and said, "I am Gu An, the master of this Medicine Valley. May I ask who you are...?"

Zong Ying was wearing a Taoist robe, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, small eyes, and a goatee. He looked like a bad guy.

He smiled and raised his hand, saying, "I am an inner disciple named Zong Ying. I was passing by when I sensed that this tree is extraordinary. Could it be the legendary Xuanqing Tree?"

Gu An stepped forward, grasped his wrist with his right hand, and exerted a slight force—the power of the Foundation Establishment Realm—and smiled, "It is indeed the Xuanqing Tree. Do you want it?"

Zong Ying found it amusing; how dare a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator fight him?

The Tai Xuan Sect really has no one left; they actually sent a Foundation Establishment cultivator to plant the Xuanqing Tree.

That's true; that way, it won't attract attention.

Zong Ying prepared to break free from Gu An's grasp. He felt that his Nascent Soul Realm power was enough to make the other party look bad.

However, his expression changed abruptly the next second.

His eyes narrowed, his brows furrowed, and he began to struggle violently.

His expression changed again, first showing surprise, then fear.

How can it be!
