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

Chapter 133 Mountain God, A Twisted Fate

Gu An heard Xuanmiao Zhenren's soliloquy, which made him fall silent.

They've come to my house looking for good fortune?
His gaze fell on the compass in the hand of the Mysterious Immortal, wondering what kind of treasure it was that could find good fortune, much better than his White Spirit Rat.

Since the appearance of the Xuanqing Tree, the White Spirit Rat has been dozing off all day and has stopped going out to search for treasures; it's practically useless now.

The forest was quiet and still in the dead of night, with a light mist rising and falling. The Mysterious Immortal could see the figures of ghosts passing by, but he remained unmoved.

Huhu——

A gust of wind came from ahead, blowing Xuanmiao Zhenren's Taoist robe and causing him to squint.

"The land of the mountain god is off-limits to mortals."

A faint, ethereal voice reached out, causing the Mysterious Immortal to stop in his tracks. He looked up but could not see the speaker at all, and even when he used his divine sense to investigate, he could not detect a trace of life.

True Master Xuanmiao was certain he wasn't hallucinating, so he cupped his hands and said, "This humble Taoist comes from the Sanqing Mountain of the Shen Tang Dynasty, and is the sole disciple of the Taiqing lineage, Li Xuanmiao."

Last name Li?

If Li Xuanmiao and Li Xuandao weren't related, Gu An wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.

The name "Sanqing" also reminded Gu An of the Sanqing in the Taoist mythology of his previous life, though he wondered if there was any connection.

It should be fine, otherwise his novel *Investiture of the Gods* would have already caused him trouble.

Perhaps the Way of the Three Pure Ones illuminates all the heavens, and if there are signs of the Three Pure Ones in this world, there are also signs in the Chinese world.

Gu An's mind raced, and she didn't reply immediately.

The Mysterious Immortal continued, "This humble Taoist has come seeking good fortune; I wonder if I may have the honor of meeting the Mountain God?"

He didn't seem to question Gu An's words, which made Gu An wonder.

Could it be that there really are mountain gods in the world, so the Mysterious Immortal finds it unsurprising?
This suddenly gave Gu An the idea of ​​getting to know the Mysterious Immortal and increasing his understanding of this world.

"Why do you want to see the mountain god?"

Gu An's voice rang out again, but it was still elusive.

The Mysterious Immortal said, "Immortals and gods in the mortal world are ethereal and elusive. If one could see them, it would be a great fortune in life. Of course, I also have a selfish desire."

He was overjoyed to see the mountain god, finding it more meaningful than finding treasure.

He scanned all directions with his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation but could not find the other party, indicating that the difference in their cultivation levels was enormous. Even if the other party was not a mountain god, he was still a great cultivator whose realm far surpassed his.

The fact that the other party did not directly attack him indicates that the other party is not a very evil person. Regardless of whether he is a mountain god or not, he is worth befriending.

call--

A strong gust of wind swept in, blowing up fallen leaves, forcing the Mysterious Immortal to raise his hand to defend himself.

After the wind subsided, Master Xuanmiao looked ahead, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face showed astonishment.

Following his gaze, a small figure in white stood on a large tree ahead.

That's right!

villain!

It's only three inches tall, and you can hold it in one hand!
The person was dressed in white and wore a theatrical mask, making him look very mysterious.

The small figure in white was Gu An, who used his "Size-to-Size" supernatural power to shrink himself.

The Great and Small Ruyi is a supernatural power awakened by the Innate Ruyi Gong, which is his Qi-gathering technique, which evolved from the Qi-cultivation technique.

Immediately, Master Xuanmiao knelt down on one knee, raised his hand in greeting, and said, "Li Xuanmiao greets the Mountain God!"

He could sense that this was not an illusion; it was the first time he had ever seen such a small person, which immediately convinced him that the other person was the mountain god.

Because he had never seen any magic or supernatural power that could shrink himself; at most, he had seen magic that could suck people into a small space.

Gu An leaped from branch to branch tip, looked down at Xuanmiao Zhenren, and asked, "What is the treasure in your hand?"

He discarded a lifespan probe.

[Mysterious True Man (Fifth Level of Nascent Soul Realm): 198/900/4500]

A lifespan of 4,500 years?

This is somewhat inconsistent with his behavior.

It seems that Sanqingshan has a strong heritage!

The Mysterious Immortal quickly replied, "This is a treasure passed down through generations in my Sanqing Mountain. As long as I carry it with me, once my fortune connects with the treasure, it will guide me to find my destined blessings and accelerate my growth."

He smiled as he said these words.

He was destined to meet the mountain god!

Gu An wondered if the Xuan Tian Cave should have belonged to the Xuanmiao True Man.

It is very likely that if he didn't have a cheat code like a system, he wouldn't have come to the North Sea Mountains to undergo tribulation, and he wouldn't have shattered the Xuan Tian Cave. Naturally, the Xuan Tian Cave wouldn't belong to him.

Thinking about it this way, it was Gu An who stole the opportunity from the Mysterious Immortal.

Master Xuanmiao then said, "Senior Mountain God, I have just taken on a disciple, but he is suffering from a severe poison that I cannot cure. Could you please take a look at him?"

He was only seeking good fortune, but unexpectedly he encountered the mountain god. Since he was a god, he should be able to help him resolve his worries.

Gu An didn't say anything, but instead raised his hands, touching his chin with his left hand and supporting his left elbow with his right hand, shaking his head as he looked at Xuanmiao Zhenren.

Upon seeing this, the Mysterious Immortal understood. He opened his right hand, and a lingzhi mushroom appeared out of thin air in his palm. He presented it with both hands and said, "This is a sixth-grade earth spirit lingzhi mushroom. I hope the mountain god likes it."

Gu An raised his hand and caught the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand. This Earth Spirit Ganoderma lucidum was bigger than his whole body, and it looked quite comical as he carried it.

The Mysterious Immortal didn't find it funny; on the contrary, he found it insightful.

The actions and thoughts of immortals and gods should not be speculated or defined by mortals.

"Bring your disciple over at this time tomorrow night," Gu An said.

Master Xuanmiao immediately bowed in thanks, but by the time he raised his hand again, Gu An had already vanished. He smiled, got up, and left without continuing on his way, which pleased Gu An.

At least for now, it seems that Master Xuanmiao is not the kind of person who is very cunning or scheming.

When Gu An investigated Xuanmiao Zhenren before, he saw his demon disciple and also saw what kind of poison the demon was suffering from, which he was able to cure.

After the Mysterious Immortal departed, Gu An returned to the Eight Scenery Cave and began refining pills.

He took out the epiphyllum flower he had been keeping and placed it into the alchemy furnace. Then he condensed the Taiqing True Fire and lit the dry firewood under the furnace.

He suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that Xuan Gu's alchemy techniques also originated from Sanqing Mountain, which is why he was able to cultivate the Taiqing True Fire?

It’s really possible!
……

On the second night, Master Xuanmiao arrived with his disciple. It was still the same forest, shrouded in mist.

The fox demon boy was very nervous. He leaned against Xuanmiao Zhenren and kept scanning his surroundings, afraid that evil spirits might appear.

The Mysterious Immortal lifted his robe and knelt down on the spot, making the fox demon boy kneel down as well.

After kneeling for a while, a strong wind blew in.

A pill the size of a thumb rolled all the way to Xuanmiao Zhenren's lap, and he picked it up.

"Have your apprentice take it."

Gu An's voice drifted over, and Xuanmiao Zhenren did not hesitate, directly making the fox demon boy swallow it.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth. The Mysterious Immortal grasped the fox demon boy's wrist, carefully sensing it, and soon, a look of joy appeared on his face.

He looked up and asked, "May I ask the mountain god, what poison has afflicted my disciple?"

"The poison of the Epiphyllum oxypetalum... He must have been to the place where the Epiphyllum oxypetalum grows and even ingested it by mistake," Gu An replied, appearing on a tree branch.

Upon seeing the miniature mountain god, the fox demon boy's eyes widened.

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanmiao's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "The Ephemeral Flower Sect has truly caused harm for a thousand years, and its crimes are unforgivable!"

Gu An squatted on the tree branch, looking at them, and said, "Your disciple has been rescued. You should leave now. Remember, do not reveal my existence to anyone, or I will cause you trouble."

The Mysterious Immortal looked up and said, "Mountain God, could you teach me the ultimate skill that will make me the best in the world? I am willing to give up everything in exchange."

Being defeated by An Hao has become a deep-seated regret for him.

This is also why he has been reluctant to return; he simply cannot face his fellow disciples.

"Number one in the world? If you could become number one in the world, you wouldn't be looking for me. Since you can't become number one in the world, nothing about you is worthy of the value of number one in the world," Gu An said casually.

Master Xuanmiao's face was grim, but hope ignited in his heart.

The mountain god did not refuse him!
He was just testing the waters, but unexpectedly, there was actually hope.

Indeed, no disciple of Sanqing Mountain in all generations has ever encountered a terrestrial deity, which shows how difficult it is to find such a deity.
The Mysterious Immortal said, "Please enlighten me, Mountain God. As long as I can do it and as long as it does not violate the principles of Sanqing Mountain, I will certainly agree!"

Gu An pretended to be deep in thought, crossed his arms, and after a while, he suddenly said, "I've got it! What was the supernatural power you used to summon a Xuanxin Realm cultivator before? Trade it with me."

Master Xuanmiao's expression changed drastically.

He felt even greater reverence for the mountain god!

The fact that the mountain god could discern the level of his own backer shows just how high the mountain god's cultivation level was!

Moreover, the place where the battle took place was extremely far from here.

The Mysterious Immortal hurriedly said, "This divine power is called the Mysterious Gate of Divine Communication. This divine power can only summon others and will not harm the common people. I can exchange it with you, Mountain God."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his sleeve and raised it with both hands.

Gu An raised his hand and summoned the scroll to his side. After briefly scanning it with his divine sense to confirm its authenticity, he waved his right hand.

A book quickly landed in front of the Mysterious Immortal.

Nine Extremes Yin Yang Body!
Upon seeing these five words, Master Xuanmiao's eyes lit up.

Gu An will eventually improve his Nine Extremes Yin Yang Body, so he won't be reluctant to pass it on. Besides, this skill originated from Qianqiu Pavilion.

He wanted to see how many years it would take for Xuanmiao Zhenren to master the Nine Extremes Yin-Yang Body.

Master Xuanmiao picked up the manual and began to peruse it. Gu An was not in a hurry and put the Tongshen Xuanmen scroll into his storage bag.

After watching for a while, Master Xuanmiao's hands were trembling.

He suddenly closed the manual, put it into his pocket, and then took out seven wooden boxes from the storage ring on his thumb.

He said, "This ultimate technique is even stronger than the Tong Shen Xuan Men. I cannot take advantage of you. These are all seeds of seventh-grade heavenly treasures. They were given to me by various dynasties. I originally intended to use them to improve my cave dwelling, but now I offer them to you!"

Ok?
sensible!

Gu An's goodwill towards Master Xuanmiao increased.

He raised his hand and placed the seven wooden boxes onto the tree trunk beside him, saying, "You can leave now."

The Mysterious Immortal immediately kowtowed, then made the fox demon boy kowtow as well. After that, he pulled him away without lingering.

Gu An watched their departing figures and sighed to himself, "What a tragic fate."

The ill-fated relationship he was referring to was not between him and the Mysterious Immortal, but between the Mysterious Immortal and the fox demon boy.

He couldn't resist sending another lifespan probe.

[Yellow Spring Fox Demon (Qi Refining Realm Level 4): 14/999/14000]

This lifespan limit is exactly the same as that of the Yellow Spring Demon Emperor, and they are both named after the Yellow Spring, so they must be related!

Gu An even suspected that this guy was the Yellow Springs Demon Emperor!
