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

Chapter 125 Two Million Years of Lifespan!

Inside the inn.

Gu An and Wu Jue finally managed to squeeze into seats, and after they sat down, they continued to talk about the previous earth-shattering battle.

Although it was brief, it was enough to get all the spectators excited.

Gu An smiled and agreed, though he felt a slight pang of regret.

Killing the Heavenly Sword Daoist grants ten years of lifespan, because the Heavenly Sword Daoist has less than two hundred years left to live, which is why he used the word "decaying" to describe the Heavenly Sword Daoist.

The Heavenly Sword Daoist must have reached the Profound Heart Realm long ago. Seven hundred years ago, he probably couldn't sense any hope of increasing his cultivation, so he went into seclusion in the deep mountains. Unfortunately, after sitting in meditation for seven hundred years, he still couldn't find the way.

The Heavenly Sword Daoist has come here to seek death!
Gu An didn't think much of it; his attention was quickly drawn to An Hao on the Heaven-Mending Platform.

An Hao is actually comprehending the Dao!
The elders of the gate gathered around him, protecting him.

good boy.

Gu An felt gratified; the stronger An Hao became, the happier he was.

An Hao was his true disciple, unlike the disciples in Medicine Valley. The more powerful An Hao was, the more proud he became.

With so many powerful cultivators protecting him, Gu An felt at ease.

He refocused his attention and concentrated on drinking and chatting with Wu Jue.

Not long after, a figure walked over and sat down next to Gu An. She then showed him the drawing she was holding, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

"How is it? How's the drawing?" Shen Zhen asked with a smile.

Gu An stared intently at the painting. The Heavenly Sword Daoist in the painting had his arms outstretched, enduring the sword light descending from the sky. The painting style was dark and sharp, with a kind of tragic beauty.

"Not bad, as expected of you," Gu An casually remarked.

Shen Zhen pouted, sensing his perfunctory attitude.

Wu Jue hesitated and asked, "Brother Gu, who is this...?"

Although Shen Zhen was wearing a veil, judging from her clothes, appearance, and features, she was definitely a beauty, and of high status.

Gu An smiled and said, "This young lady's name is Shen Zhen. You can call her Miss Shen, just like I do."

Then, he introduced the martial arts technique to Shen Zhen.

Seeing that Shen Zhen's attitude was indifferent, Gu An reminded him, "My brother here is no ordinary person; he will surely become famous throughout the Tai Xuan Sect in the future..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wu Jue said quickly, his face turning bright red.

"is it?"

Shen Zhen couldn't help but re-examine the martial arts manual, which made him even more uneasy.

Gu An smiled and said, "Come on, let's have a drink and chat."

In his view, Wu Jue would definitely showcase his talent, and Shen Zhen was the Holy Maiden of a great sect. The two would meet sooner or later, and getting to know each other sooner would allow them to take care of each other more in the future.

Shen Zhen talked a lot about the previous battle, and she basically led the conversation, with Gu An continuing to play the role of agreeing, while Wu Jue became awkward and could only force a smile.

After one stick of incense.

Shen Zhen got up and left, intending to draw a few more pictures of the previous battle.

Wu Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief after she left.

Gu An teased, "Why are you so nervous? You haven't fallen for her, have you?"

"Don't talk nonsense. That girl clearly has feelings for you. As her brother, how could I have any improper thoughts? I'm just not good at chatting with women. You know that. You're my only friend." Wu Jue glared at him, very seriously.

Again!
You're my only friend!
Gu An shook his head and chuckled, saying, "Having more friends means having more options. It's exhausting to travel the cultivation world alone."

"I know, it's just that I'm not good at making friends..."

"Then what's the deal with me?"

"We hit it off immediately, it's not just about making friends, it's fate!"

"Hey kid, you've got a way with words when it comes to me."

Gu Anle was amused. Facing him, Wu Jue was confident and not nervous at all.

The two chatted until dusk before parting ways.

Gu Anze returned to Xuan Valley and met with his disciples. He noticed that Chu Jingfeng was sitting alone on the mountaintop, but he had no intention of disturbing him.

If Chu Jingfeng can comprehend the Dao, that would be a good thing.

However, enlightenment is not so easy. An Hao and Wu Jue are geniuses who appear only once in a thousand years. Not everyone can compare with them.

After spending half an hour in Xuan Valley, Gu An finally arrived at the Third Medicine Valley.

The Third Medicine Valley is much more lively than the Mysterious Valley, after all, the number of disciples here is ten times that of the Mysterious Valley.

Gu An chatted with his disciples for a while before returning to his pavilion to read and calm himself down.

As night deepened, footsteps sounded outside the door, and soon a voice came in:

"Valley Master, I have something I want to say to you."

Lu Lingjun!
They're using telepathy!
Gu An put down the Tai Xuan Secret Manual in his hand, covered it with the Investiture of the Gods, and said, "Come in."

Lu Lingjun pushed open the door and entered. After closing the door, she cast a spell on the door, placing a restriction on it.

Gu An was moved and looked at Lu Lingjun in astonishment.

Lu Lingjun turned around, walked to the table, raised her hand to Gu An in a gesture of respect, and said, "Valley Master, I am truly sorry that I concealed something from you before."

"Your cultivation level..." Gu An asked nervously.

Lu Lingjun said, "To be honest, I am actually at the Transcendent Realm."

Cross the virtual realm!
Gu Anteng stood up abruptly.

Lu Lingjun quickly said, "Valley Master, I mean no harm, please let me finish!" Upon hearing this, Gu An's expression shifted between light and dark, but he eventually sat down slowly.

Seeing Gu An sit down, Lu Lingjun smiled and said, "I concealed my cultivation because I didn't know enough about the Taicang Dynasty. I come from a very far place. When I was exploring a powerful cave, I encountered a mysterious formation and was teleported here. I can't find my way back, so I plan to settle down in the Tai Xuan Sect. I hope the Valley Master can help introduce me."

Gu An asked in surprise, "With your cultivation level, if you want to join the Tai Xuan Sect, you can join openly and honestly. Why do you need my introduction?"

“The rules of the Tai Xuan Sect are very strict. With my cultivation level, I can only become a guest elder, which will take many years. I see that the Valley Master has connections. If you help me, wouldn’t it save me from waiting for decades?” Lu Lingjun said earnestly.

As she spoke, she took out three bottles from her sleeve and said, "These are all Heavenly Spirit Water. I hope the Valley Master will like them."

Seeing this, Gu An's face hardened, and he said, "Nonsense! By doing this, it makes it seem like I only helped you because I accepted your gifts. What kind of person will I be if word gets out?"

He gathered the three bottles in front of him.

Lu Lingjun smiled and said, "How could that be? One thing at a time. This Heavenly Spirit Water is to thank Valley Master for taking care of me during this time."

"Well, you are interested."

Gu An smiled with satisfaction, then gestured for Lu Lingjun to sit down.

He began to instruct her on some things, mainly explaining the structure of the Tai Xuan Sect, highlighting the role of aristocratic families, and preventing Lu Lingjun from making enemies.

At first, Lu Lingjun didn't care, but as she listened, she realized that Gu An was indeed thinking of her, so she became serious.

……

As autumn faded into winter, heavy snow blanketed the Third Medicine Valley.

On this day, Lü Baitian came to visit Gu An. Upon seeing him, Lu Lingjun knew that her opportunity had arrived.

Gu An did not disappoint her. Half an hour later, Gu An and Lü Baitian went downstairs, and Gu An waved to Lu Lingjun from afar.

She strode up to the two men. Lu Baitian looked her over and said, "Gu An has already told me. Come with me, and I'll take you to change your disciple token."

Lu Lingjun immediately bowed to thank Lü Baitian and also paid her respects to Gu An.

Gu An smiled and nodded, then watched the two fly away.

Xiao Chuan leaned closer and asked in astonishment, "Why did Lu Lingjun leave?"

Didn't you notice how fast she was flying?

Gu An asked a question, then turned and left.

Xiao Chuan paused, caught up with him, and asked, "What do you mean? Wasn't it that senior who took her flying?"

"Ogawa."

"What's wrong, senior brother?"

"Having a big heart is sometimes a good thing; keep it up."

"Ok?"

Gu An ignored Xiao Chuan and walked towards the Heavenly Spirit Pool.

Watching the carp in the pond is one of his current pleasures.

Lu Baitian had just approached him to discuss the Golden List Tournament and the World's Number One Sword Tournament. He didn't want to become a strategist in the future, so he didn't offer many suggestions. Therefore, Lu Baitian didn't stay for long.

The days to come should be peaceful for many years to come.

Gu An thought to himself.

During the cold winter, news of the Sword Master Fudao killing the Heavenly Sword Daoist in one move began to take effect in the Nine Dynasties. Taking advantage of this momentum, the Tai Xuan Sect began to negotiate with other dynasties, preparing to settle in other territories.

This process was arduous, but the leaders of the Tai Xuan Sect did not feel tired at all. From top to bottom, everyone felt a surge of energy, which was that the Tai Xuan Sect was about to take off.

With the support of the world's number one cultivator, how could the Tai Xuan Sect not dominate the lands of the Nine Dynasties?
……

Years are like a shuttle.

Five years passed quickly, and sixty-seven-year-old Gu An walked out of the Pill Hall.

He stopped in front of the gate, looked back, and sighed softly.

Zhu Qinglu is no longer here; he has retired and returned to his hometown. Although the new elders treat him with great respect, he still feels somewhat uncomfortable.

The old friends are gone, but new people have come today.

Gu An turned around and merged into the crowd on the street.

Five years have passed, and the Tai Xuan Sect has taken off, as evidenced by the number of disciples in the outer city.

The Golden List Competition has spread throughout the land and will be held at the Tai Xuan Sect in five years. It is said that the Tai Xuan Sect has invited hundreds of aristocratic families scattered across the nine dynasties. With their support, more and more geniuses will participate in the Golden List in the future.

Gu An guessed that the Ji family and the Gu family had put in a lot of effort. Of course, other aristocratic families also wanted to invest in the Tai Xuan Sect. Having more options was always a good thing.

As Gu An walked down the street, he could hear the discussions of the passing disciples. Many names of geniuses entered his ears, with An Hao being mentioned the most.

Last year, An Hao went down the mountain to train and had a feud with the demonic path. He killed a Nascent Soul cultivator while only at the Core Formation stage, making him famous throughout the cultivation world.

The title of the number one genius of the Tai Xuan Sect has been firmly placed on An Hao's head, and no one can shake it.

As for Lü Xian, although he was the leader of the Hundred Clans Assembly, the Hundred Clans were high and mighty and had not connected with the cultivation world.

During these five years, Gu An's life was very ordinary, but his lifespan increased by more than 700,000 years, and he has now broken through the 2 million year mark. The 10 million year mark is no longer so far away for him, so he is full of fighting spirit every day and never feels tired or bored.

"Brother Gu, it's been a long time!"

A voice came from around the corner of the street. Gu An turned his head and saw Zhou Tongyou, the genius of Jueshan Sect, walking towards him.

Behind Zhou Tongyou was an old man, who was obese and held a feather fan. He looked kind and simple.

Before he could even reach Gu An, Lu Lingjun appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Back then, after Lu Lingjun left with Lü Baitian, she returned the next day. Her current position is an inner sect elder, but her mission is to protect Gu An, which has frustrated her for a long time. If she weren't wary of Fudao Sword Venerable, she would have wanted to draw her sword and kill Lü Baitian.
