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

Chapter 109 Why are you forcing me?
Gu An originally only wanted to eavesdrop, but the woman in the purple dress used her divine sense to probe him and showed hostility towards him, indicating that she wanted to tear him to pieces.

Can this be tolerated?
Gu An captured her immediately!

Before killing her, gather intelligence on the Ephemeral Flower Sect. This woman's identity is clearly not simple; we might be able to obtain useful information.

The woman in the purple dress was named Su Shan. She was originally an elder of Qianqiu Pavilion. Two hundred years ago, she joined the Tanhua Sect. After the Tanhua Sect was defeated, she remained hidden in Qianqiu Pavilion.

Yang Ni was personally recruited into the cult by her. The reason Yang Ni joined the cult was because she promised to help Yang Ni find the murderer who killed her sister.

Su Shan recruited Yang Ni to keep an eye on Li Xuandao and Li Ya. Li Ya inherited the Heavenly Sword, which made Su Shan think that this boy might become the crown prince. So he first had Yang Ni monitor the father and son, and then waited for the Ephemeral Flower Sect to make a comeback.

Yang Ni didn't completely trust Su Shan either; she just wanted another way to find the truth.

Little did she know, the person who murdered her sister was none other than Su Shan!
The power structure of the Ephemeral Flower Sect is very complex, with many branches. Every elder in the Transcendent Realm strives to make contributions for himself. As long as the contribution is great, one can step onto the Path of the Nine Netherworlds and go on to pursue the path of immortality.

Su Shan had only heard of the Nine Nether Path, but had never seen it. It was said that the Nine Nether Path could cross the ocean and lead to another continent. The Nine Nether Path was the Yin-Yang Path opened up by the Ephemeral Flower Sect. It passed through the Ghost Realm where Yin and Yang met, a place full of evil spirits and extremely dangerous, but also full of opportunities.

Gu An investigated for a long time but still couldn't obtain any information about the main lineage of the Tanhua Sect, so he couldn't understand just how strong the main lineage of the Tanhua Sect really was.

An hour had passed when he withdrew his consciousness.

He looked down at Su Shan's alluring face, his eyes filled with disgust. When he used the Soul-Capturing Technique earlier, he had seen many unspeakable scenes.

A demonic cultivator is a demonic cultivator!

Gu An immediately ended Su Shan's life and then burned his body to ashes.

This Grand Cultivator of the Transcendent Realm died quietly and without a trace.

She contributed decades of her lifespan to Gu An, which was acceptable.

After that, Gu An began to count her two storage rings.

Meanwhile, Yang Ni was still unable to concentrate on her cultivation in her room, as Su Shan's threats kept surfacing in her mind.

She felt guilty for implicating Gu An.

It wasn't that she had any special feelings for Gu An; it was just that after so many years together, their relationship had grown close, and the thought that such a virtuous junior might be persecuted because of her naturally made her uneasy.

As dawn broke, Lu Jiujia called his disciples out to practice their exercises, and Gu An also came downstairs.

"The early bird catches the worm, Yang Ni, it's time to come out and practice your exercises!"

Gu An walked to the courtyard where Yang Ni lived and called out.

Yang Ni came out quickly. She simply nodded slightly to Gu An, as if she had not experienced the events of the previous night.

Gu An didn't say much, but he was slightly gratified that Yang Ni dared to draw her sword when faced with Su Shan's threat last night.

Hmm, we'll allocate her more land in the future so she can plant more flowers and plants.

……

Since meeting Su Shan that night, Yang Ni has been going to the outer sect every two days, ostensibly to search for high-level seeds.

Gu An's life remained unchanged, and he continued to travel back and forth between the Three Medicine Valleys.

Late summer.

When Gu An arrived at Tianya Valley, Luo Hun and Yi Liuyun had already left, taking three monkey demons with them. Only Lü Xian remained in the valley.

"A great cultivator's cave dwelling has been discovered thousands of miles away, along with numerous rare and precious materials. Yi Liuyun is leading them to transport them, and they won't be back for the next few days."

Lu Xian approached Gu An and explained, his gaze fixed intently on Gu An.

Gu An nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards the garden.

"Who exactly are you, Gu An?"

Lu Xian's voice came from behind, his tone different from usual, filled with intense hostility.

Gu An stopped and turned to look at Lü Xian, smiling, "I'm not some kind of saint; I'm just an ordinary cultivator who enjoys planting."

Something's wrong with this guy!

It feels like you've become a completely different person.

Could it be that the other remnant souls within his body have taken over his mind?

Gu An was puzzled.

Lu Xian sneered, his face turning ferocious, and said, "I only taught you a few times, but your mastery of the Xuanwu Shocking Wave Palm has already surpassed my level after ten years of hard training."

Gu An raised an eyebrow, not expecting that even though he had deliberately held back, Lü Xian had still noticed something amiss.

This is trouble.

Lu Xian stepped forward, and his aura at the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm suddenly erupted, stirring up the fallen leaves on the ground like a tornado rising from the earth with tremendous force.

Although he was only at the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm, his aura was already comparable to that of a low-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

No wonder he was once the number one genius of the Tai Xuan Sect.

“I discovered that cave long ago. I calculated the day you were coming and sent them away in advance. Today, let’s settle this once and for all,” Lu Xian sneered.

His right palm began to accumulate spiritual power, and the space beneath his palm fluctuated violently, like a raging storm.

Gu An raised his hand and said, "Don't do anything rash. I'm really not a genius. Why are you targeting me? I pose no threat to you whatsoever."

If you act recklessly, I'll have to kill you.

Lu Xian licked his lips and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I just want to test your strength. If you continue to hide your power, be careful you don't end up like Li Ya."

Upon hearing this, Gu An's eyes turned cold.

"Try my Xuanwu Surging Waves Palm!" Lu Xian roared and unleashed a palm strike.

The palm strike unleashed a devastating force, a sudden gust of wind rising from the ground, and an overwhelming pressure surged towards Gu An, whipping up dust and whipping up the grass in its path. Boom—

The palm wind of the Xuanwu Shocking Wave Palm soared into the sky, forming a towering air wave nearly a hundred feet high, which was incredibly spectacular.

Lu Xian's smile froze. Following his gaze, Gu An stood motionless behind the shockwave, his palm strike forcibly blocked.

The herbs in the various parks behind Gu An swayed in the wind, unharmed, and remained in the soil.

At this moment, Gu An was expressionless, and his entire demeanor suddenly changed, making Lü Xian feel unfamiliar with him.

"you……"

Lu Xian said in a trembling voice as he saw Gu An walking towards him.

With just one step, Gu An traversed several meters and arrived in front of him in an instant.

boom!
Lu Xian's aura was completely shattered, and the terrifying force caused him to fall backward and slump to the ground, showing none of the demeanor of the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Gu An raised his right hand, looked down at him, his palm facing his head.

Lu Xian was horrified to find himself unable to move, suppressed by a spiritual force he could not resist.

“Transformation into a Nascent Soul…” Lü Xian said through gritted teeth.

His judgment was correct; Gu An had indeed suppressed his cultivation level to the Nascent Soul stage, which was enough to easily suppress him.

"Why are you forcing me?" Gu An looked down at Lü Xian and asked softly.

The killing intent in his eyes solidified, making Lü Xian feel the aura of death.

His expressionless face was so terrifying; Lü Xian had never seen such a frightening expression before.

"and many more!"

Lu Xian hurriedly said, his face showing panic for the first time.

Gu An simply looked down at him quietly.

In fact, Gu An didn't want to kill him either. After all, Lü Xian was Lü Baitian's son, and Lü Xian didn't seem to harbor any hostility towards him, which meant he really just wanted to spar.

In order to avoid being harassed, Gu An had no choice but to use his Nascent Soul Realm power to terrify him.

"I was wrong...don't kill me..." Lu Xian said through gritted teeth, lowering his proud head and not daring to look at Gu An.

He is still slumped on the ground, unable to stand up, a posture that he finds shameful.

"But you made me reveal my true cultivation level, which will surely lead to endless troubles in the future. This is very distressing for me. I just want to cultivate the herbs in peace. Why do you have to force me? Why?"

Gu An said coldly, his voice sounding like a growl as he finished speaking, his features contorting as if he were going mad.

Lu Xian looked up, startled by his hysterical expression, and quickly said, "I absolutely won't tell anyone... I promise! I swear!"

Gu An's right palm began to gather spiritual power, and the terrifying power of the Nascent Soul Realm made Lü Xian's heart pound with fear.

"Wait, I know a clue about an eighth-order spirit flower. This flower has been nurtured for hundreds of years and has not yet become a spirit. Don't you like growing flowers? You can go and get it!" Lu Xian said urgently. He was really scared and began to tremble.

Gu An was moved and squinted as he asked, "Where?"

Lu Xian felt the oppressive force on his body weakening, and quickly took out a map from his storage bag, saying, "This is a map. It was given to me by an old senior I met when I participated in the Hundred Clans Conference."

Gu An took the map, glanced at it briefly, and then tossed it into his storage bag.

He looked at Lü Xian again, frowning, and asked, "You really won't tell anyone?"

"If I were to reveal your cultivation level, I would surely be tormented by inner demons during my tribulation in this life, and my body and soul would perish!" Lu Xian immediately swore.

Upon hearing this, Gu An suppressed his aura and restored his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The swaying flowers and plants in the medicine valley also stopped, and Lü Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his head covered in sweat, and he couldn't help but pant heavily.

Gu An regained his usual gentle expression, helped Lü Xian up, patted the dust off him, and said, "Brother Lü, I apologize for the offense. Promise me you won't make such jokes again. It's not funny at all!"

Hearing this, Lü Xian forced a smile.

Then, Gu An turned and left, walking back to where he had been standing.

Watching his retreating figure, Lü Xian remained silent for a long time.

Half an hour later, Gu An said goodbye to Lü Xian and then left.

Lu Xian sat on the grass, gazing at the sun in the sky, lost in thought.

He didn't get up for two days and two nights, from sunset to moonrise.

When Luo Hun, Yi Liuyun, and the three monkey demons returned, they were chatting and laughing, clearly having had a good haul.

Seeing Lü Xian sitting blankly on the ground, Yi Liuyun asked with a smile, "Lü Xian, why aren't you cultivating?"

Lu Xian's body trembled slightly. He turned to look at Yi Liuyun and asked, "Do you think I can achieve the Nascent Soul stage before I turn one hundred?"

He knew Gu An's age, because Gu An was about the same age as Li Ya.

“If you hadn’t wasted your time before, you would definitely have reached the Nascent Soul Realm before you turned one hundred. Unfortunately, you are already ninety years old. It’s difficult to go from the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm to the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm in ten years,” Yi Liuyun said, shaking his head.

Luo Hun suggested, "His Majesty values ​​you so much that he will definitely provide you with a large number of pills if you just ask."

Lu Xian remained silent.

He fell into self-doubt, wondering if he wasn't a genius at all.
