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

Chapter 201 Do you know what level of cultivation I possess?

Gu An suppressed his complicated emotions and asked, "This thing is too unconventional. Are you really going to do it? It'll probably cause a bigger stir than writing a book."

In fact, the Tai Xuan Secret Manual written by Shen Zhen has always been a product strictly prohibited by the Tai Xuan Sect. If she hadn't been the Holy Maiden of the Dao Tian Sect, Gu An suspected that she would have been arrested long ago.

Shen Zhen retorted, "I haven't killed anyone or set fires, so does the Tai Xuan Sect intend to throw me in jail?"

"But you are, after all, a woman. If this is exposed, what will the world think of you, and what will they think of your father, and what will they think of the Daotian Cult?"

Gu An said earnestly that Shen Zhen was not a bad person by nature and did not mess around with relationships. Every time he used his divine sense to explore the world, he would also take a look at her. When she was not looking for him, she was basically cultivating and studying music, chess, calligraphy and painting in her cave.

Shen Zhen stared at him intently and asked, "You don't like me doing this?"

Gu An replied, "I'm just worried about you."

Shen Zhen couldn't help but smile, then took out a new jade slip and handed it to Gu An.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu An still used his divine sense to examine the jade slip.

Then, he raised an eyebrow.

It wasn't an illusion of movement, but rather the process of cultivating supernatural powers. The person in the jade slip was Shen Zhen. This jade slip recorded Shen Zhen's process of cultivating supernatural powers, and even included his mental incantations.

after awhile.

Gu An withdrew his divine sense and looked at Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen snorted, "This is my true creation, isn't it more conducive to its inheritance?"

Gu An nodded and said, "Very good, it gives people more direction when cultivating."

After saying that, he placed the two jade slips on the table.

Shen Zhen began to recount her previous experiences with Lu Lingjun. They had entered the cave dwelling of an ancient great cultivator, which was full of traps and mechanisms. It took them a great deal of effort to obtain the inheritance and treasures.

Gu An listened with great interest, just like listening to a story, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise, satisfying Shen Zhen's desire to confide.

She liked talking about these things with Gu An. If she talked to others, she might be targeted, but if she talked to Gu An, she wouldn't be targeted and could enjoy his praise.

for a long time.

Shen Zhen then stood up and said, "I'll leave this magical jade slip to you."

Before Gu An could refuse, she walked towards the door and quickly went downstairs.

Gu An looked at the jade slip on the table and wanted to call out to Shen Zhen, "Why don't you take the other one with you?"
never mind!

It's best if he keeps this thing safe, to prevent people from going astray.

Gu An possesses memories of his past life and has long experienced the corruption of this thing. His willpower in this regard is unmatched by anyone in the cultivation world. He has an obligation to bear the mental harm in this regard for cultivators.

the other side.

As Shen Zhen went downstairs, he couldn't help but tease the Blood Prison Great Sage, which annoyed him.

It wasn't until nightfall that Gu An returned to Xuan Valley with the Blood Prison Great Sage. As the night deepened, Gu An quietly arrived at Nianchu Cave in Tianhuang Mountain.

Tian Yao'er was cultivating, while the two cat demons were playing. When they saw Gu An appear, they immediately stopped and lay down on the ground. Although they had not yet transformed into human form, they were quite intelligent. With Tian Yao'er's guidance, they had great respect for Gu An.

Gu An nodded to them, then sat down at the stone table and began to ponder the matter of the cave.

With his current cultivation level, it wouldn't be difficult for him to create his own independent little world; the real challenge lies in the process of increasing his spiritual energy.

He couldn't possibly create a small world brimming with spiritual energy all at once.

Next, he plans to collect high-level rare and precious materials to prepare for his own grotto-heaven. He is now thinking about where to hide his grotto-heaven.

Although the small world within the grotto is hidden in another space, the entrance and exit to the real world are fixed and cannot be moved.

After much deliberation, Gu An decided to create a new world on the mainland.

This continent is vast and doesn't have many fairylands, making it perfect for him to develop slowly.

At this moment, Tian Yao'er walked towards him and asked him what he was thinking.

Gu An didn't hide anything, since the cave would eventually be handed over to her for management.

If he wants to seize lifespan, he must personally harvest it with his own magical power; puppets and clones are unreliable.

The Nine Extremes Yin-Yang Body's clones are called clones, but in reality they are formed from his magical power and have no independent thought.

Gu An had no interest in clones; he preferred to experience life and growth firsthand.

Upon hearing this, Tian Yao'er was secretly alarmed.

Has the master already created his own little world?

I wonder if the Heavenly Phoenix Demon Mother can do this?
Having cultivated for so long, she was no fool. She was increasingly certain that her master was stronger than the Demon Mother, and that he had only said he was no match for the Demon Mother to motivate her to cultivate.

She had no complaints about it; she believed that she should take revenge herself.

"It's in Tianhuang Mountain. It's said that Tianhuang Mountain was once the place where phoenixes lived. Every few thousand years, a vast amount of spiritual energy surges up from the ground, giving birth to countless rare and precious materials," Tian Yao'er said earnestly.

Gu An thought it made sense.

Then, his divine sense probed into the ground, creating a small world.

The grotto should not be too close to Nianchu's cave dwelling, lest it affect the growth of the medicinal herbs here. It is best to be close to the earth's spiritual veins, so that it can absorb the spiritual energy underground.

Half an hour later, Gu An successfully created his small world. Unlike other great cultivators who needed to fill it with soil and water, he, possessing the five elements, could directly manifest it with his magic power. However, he still had to carry the plants himself.

He wasn't in a hurry; he wanted to let the cave absorb spiritual energy first.

……

With the arrival of the Spring Festival, Tai Xuanmen bids farewell to the old year and welcomes the new, and all cities are bustling with activity.

Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Sage to the outer city. Although he attracted a lot of attention along the way, no one was surprised. Nowadays, there are quite a few disciples riding mounts in the outer city, and many magnificent demonic birds are circling in the sky above the city.

The Blood Prison Great Sage was also very interested in the outer city, looking around as he went. "Brother Gu, it's been a long time."

A soft laugh came from behind him. Gu An turned his head and saw Di Xie walking over.

When Di Xie first arrived, he met Zuo Lin and Gu An. He has been hiding his true identity, and only the higher-ups of the Tai Xuan Sect know that he is the son of the Demon Emperor.

Gu An rolled off the bed, smiling as he raised his hands in a fist salute.

Di Xie looked at the Blood Prison Great Sage and sized him up, saying, "Brother Gu, your mount seems to have an extraordinary bloodline."

Although the Blood Prison Great Sage's cultivation level was low, Di Xie could still see some extraordinary qualities in him, but that was all.

Gu An smiled and said, "Not bad, I like him quite a bit, so I take him with me wherever I go, it's just a little slow."

Di Xie smiled and nodded, then invited Gu An to have a drink. Gu An did not refuse and led the Blood Prison Great Sage to follow Di Xie.

The two chatted and laughed along the way, their relationship was harmonious.

After experiencing the calamity of demons, Di Xie cherishes his friendship with Zuo Lin and Gu An even more.

Humans and demons shouldn't fight each other forever; they can coexist peacefully, just like he and Gu An.

The two found an inn, and Gu An left the Blood Prison Great Sage by the inn's entrance, asking the innkeeper to keep an eye on him.

The two went to the window on the second floor.

"The World's Number One Sword Tournament is about to begin, and I plan to participate. You must come and watch!" Di Xie said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gu An immediately agreed and wished him a successful start.

"I heard that the higher-ups are planning to recruit disciples from the demon race. Brother Gu, what do you think about this?" Di Xie asked curiously.

He was pleased to hear about this, but also worried. He knew the nature of some monsters very well. If they hurt people in the Tai Xuan Sect, would it exacerbate the conflict?
After all, the calamity of demons had just ended, and human cultivators still harbored a great deal of resentment towards monsters.

“This is a good thing. Didn’t some monsters help our Tai Xuan Sect resist demons before? Now that the Demon Ancestor has fallen, there are still fierce demons. That is an even greater calamity. Humans and demons should join forces to overcome this tribulation,” Gu An said casually.

Di Xie looked at his expression and couldn't tell what he was really thinking, but his words still pleased Di Xie.

The two started drinking, one cup after another, and soon both jars were empty.

Half an hour later, the sound of cattle mooing and the shopkeeper's voice came from downstairs, interrupting Gu An and Di Xie's conversation.

"I have to go down and take a look," Gu An said, standing up.

Di Xie nodded and followed him downstairs.

More and more disciples gathered in front of the inn's gate.

The shopkeeper blocked the Blood Prison Great Sage's path, looking at the man in brocade robes with a fawning smile, and said, "Sir, I really can't make the decision about this ox. If you want to buy it, why don't you go upstairs and find the ox's owner?"

The man in brocade robes was arrogant and haughty, with four attendants behind him, each of whom looked quite formidable.

He glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "Go and call him down."

Before the shopkeeper could speak, Gu An's voice came from behind him: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm not selling this ox."

Gu An approached the Blood Prison Great Sage, stroking his bull head while casting a lifespan probe at the man in brocade robes. This was his habitual action, as he wanted to see the other party's maximum lifespan.

Zhou Ye (Fifth Level of Nascent Soul Realm): 402/880/1200

Mr.Zhou?

Gu An pondered to himself.

After the Ji family withdrew from the Tai Xuan Sect, the Zhou family also began to withdraw, supposedly to support the Cang Tian Sect.

Zhou Ye looked at Gu An and said, "I'll take the two high-grade spirit stones."

These words caused an uproar among the surrounding disciples.

Is a Tier 1 monster worth this price?

Hearing the surrounding disciples' discussions, the Great Sage of Blood Prison was furious, his bull-like eyes spitting fire.

He accepted being treated like a slave by Gu An, since he was simply less skilled than Gu An.

And what are you, kid?
Judging from the other party's aura, the Blood Prison Great Sage was merely a minor Nascent Soul cultivator.

Gu An frowned and shook his head with difficulty.

Di Xie suddenly appeared in front of him and said, "My brother said he won't sell, so don't bother me!"

Zhou Ye sized him up and sneered, "Do you know what level of cultivation I possess?"

"What, does being at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm make you arrogant?" Di Xie said coldly.

Another uproar erupted around them, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that he stepped back, while Gu An also feigned shock.

Zhou Ye frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Di Xie calmly said, "My name is Di Xie, and I am at the third level of the Profound Heart Realm."

boom!
The whole street was in complete uproar.

Zhou Ye and the four people behind him retreated together.

Di Xie glanced at Gu An and gave him an apologetic look.

The Blood Prison Great Sage, at the eighth level of the Mahayana Realm, felt aggrieved. How could someone at the Profound Heart Realm be so powerful?

He shouldn't have been so arrogant after his ascension!

Gu An, who was at the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal Realm, looked nervous and kept touching the bull's head.
