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

Chapter 215 Immortal Treasures!

The next morning, Nine-Fingered Divine Lord brought Chu Jingfeng to Gu An and expressed his desire to take him as his disciple.

Gu An was overjoyed and quickly had Chu Jingfeng thank the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord.

This also moved Chu Jingfeng deeply. Hearing that the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord could help him restore his cultivation, he was tempted. However, Gu An had done a lot for him over the years, and he was conflicted, not knowing how to choose.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord also thought highly of Gu An, as he could tell that Gu An was genuinely happy for Chu Jingfeng.

Indeed, this is true. Although Gu An is strong, his knowledge and experience are certainly not comparable to that of the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord who has lived for 170,000 years. If he truly cares for Chu Jingfeng, this can be considered a turning point in Chu Jingfeng's life.

Afterwards, Gu An directly asked Chu Jingfeng to become the disciple of Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Third Medicine Valley through the teleportation array and then flew to the inner city.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord had already seen the Third Medicine Valley, but he didn't expect that this medicine valley also belonged to Gu An.

It wasn't until noon that Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley alone, while Nine-Fingered Divine Lord and Chu Jingfeng prepared to stay in the inner city.

Although it is unclear what the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord's purpose is, the addition of a wandering immortal is a good thing for the Tai Xuan Sect.

If the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord acts recklessly, then Gu An will take action.

"Is the fortune of the Tai Xuan Sect about to rise?"

Gu An sat in the chair, thinking silently.

First, Xuan Tianyi summoned You Yingying from the Star Sea Sect, then Qiao Dai from the Seven Star Spirit Realm came to surrender, and now a mysterious wandering immortal has arrived. Gu An was deeply moved by this incredible fortune.

Without much thought, he began refining pills.

……

Late at night, Gu An arrived at Tianhuang Mountain. He first went to his own cave, and then followed the cave passage to Nianchu Cave.

The two cat demons had grown up. Although they had not yet taken human form, they looked as big as leopards. They lay on the ground, seemingly dozing, but in fact absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Upon hearing Gu An's footsteps, Tian Yao'er immediately stepped out of the house and appeared in front of Gu An as if by teleportation. Just as she was about to throw herself into his arms, he pressed his finger against her forehead, preventing her from moving any further.

"It's a bit slow, not fast enough."

Gu An was referring to Tian Yao'er's Boundless Free Step.

Tian Yao'er pouted and asked, "Master, did you go to the cave first?"

"Ah."

Gu An responded and then walked past her.

All the herbs in the cave are at least of the seventh grade, and their maturation time is much longer than that of low-grade herbs, so he cannot pick them for the time being.

However, once he is able to harvest them, he will surely be able to reap a large amount of lifespan at once.

Even without relying on the cave, Gu An can now earn nearly 300,000 years' worth of lifespan income every year.

Tian Yao'er caught up and asked curiously, "Master, when are we moving in?"

The cave was much more spacious, while Nianchu Cave was far too dull and oppressive.

“You can go in anytime you want, but just don’t forget Nianchu Cave,” Gu An replied.

Disappointment flashed in Tian Yao'er's eyes. She wanted to live with Gu An even more. The cave was planted with so many high-grade medicinal herbs, and she thought Gu An was going to move in, so she had been looking forward to it.

She didn't pester him, but instead began to tell him about what had happened in the past few days.

The night before, a great demon fought a fierce battle on Tianhuang Mountain, making a huge commotion, which made her very nervous, fearing that a demon might break into Nianchu Cave.

The human and the demon chatted idly like this. Soon, Tianqing and Tianbai were woken up. Upon seeing Gu An, the two cat demons were also delighted and immediately pounced over.

"Owner!"

"Master, you are finally here!"

The two cat demons made melodious sounds, as if two young girls were coaxing Gu An.

Gu An almost got goosebumps. How come it felt like these two cat demons had been corrupted by Tian Yao'er?

They sat down at the stone table, and Tian Yao'er took out some fine wine and said, "Master, is there any more Journey to the West? I just watched the part about the Three Battles with the White Bone Demon. Tang Sanzang is just too infuriating!"

Gu An took out the latest volume from his storage bag and placed it on the table. He teased, "What, shouldn't you be on the monster's side?"

“Sun Wukong is also a demon, I support him. Although Tang Sanzang saved the demon, he couldn’t distinguish right from wrong. Master, does the human race have a tradition of going on a pilgrimage to the West?” Tian Yao’er said indignantly.

"No, this is just a story I made up."

"Really? It feels so real."

"When you become a great demon in the future, you can also become the king of Tianhuang Mountain."

"Hehe, that's what I think too. I'll call myself the Phoenix Queen and form the Seven Great Saints."

When the topic of this came up, Tian Yao'er became even more excited and kept talking.

Gu An found it amusing; indeed, you don't need to be taught to brag, as long as you have the will, you'll be able to fantasize.

As they were chatting, Gu An sensed a vast aura coming from afar. He subconsciously probed it with his divine sense, but the aura vanished in an instant.

Gu An guessed that it must have come from some small world. The first thing that came to mind when he thought of the Seven Star Spirit Realm was that it could have such an aura.

Only the small world of the Seven Star Spirit Realm can be so hidden.

Of course, Gu An's divine sense could detect the location of the Seven Star Spirit Realm's small world, but the restrictions there were very advanced. At least he couldn't sneak in unnoticed. If he tried to investigate by force, he would definitely alert the cultivators of the Seven Star Spirit Realm.

"Are they going to cause trouble again?" Gu An wondered as he dealt with Tian Yao'er.

……

Summer has passed and autumn has arrived, but the weather is still very hot.

At noon, Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Sage to the outer city and heard the passing cultivators talking about something.

Supreme treasure of immortality!

"Have you heard? There are signs of immortal treasures in the land of demons."

What is a supreme treasure of the immortal path?

"I don't know either. I heard that it's a magical artifact of immortals, and that if you get it, you can get the power of immortals."

"I've heard about it too, but I don't know exactly where it is yet."

"Is that immortal treasure as powerful as the Heaven-Severing Axe?"

Gu An listened silently, but the Blood Prison Great Sage couldn't contain his curiosity and couldn't help but ask, "Master, is there really a celestial treasure?"

Gu An did not answer; he looked up ahead.

You Yingying walked over, her hands behind her back, a smile on her face, and said, "It's true. Want to know more?"

Blood Prison Great Sage nodded, looking at her expectantly.

As a result, You Yingying rolled her eyes at him and then looked at Gu An.

Gu An smiled and said, "Of course I'd like to know too."

"Let's go to my residence. I was just looking for you." You Yingying said before turning and leaving.

Gu An patted the cow's back, signaling the Blood Prison Great Sage to follow.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, in a courtyard, You Yingying and Gu An sat facing each other at a stone table, and she began to introduce the immortal treasures.

"There are magical artifacts, magical treasures, and immortal treasures in the world. Immortal treasures are magical artifacts crafted by those at the immortal realm, and can only be controlled by the magical power of immortals. Immortal treasures, on the other hand, are crafted by the strongest immortals, and each one is imbued with an immortal spirit."

"Immortal treasures not only contain immense power, but they are also immune to the erosion of time. Those who created immortal treasures either left the mortal world or passed away, but the immortal treasures exist forever. The Star Sea Sect has an immortal treasure called the Star Sea Primordial Banner, which is the sect's most treasured artifact."

"The Seven Star Spirit Realm, a sacred land on the mainland, also possesses a supreme immortal treasure called the Seven Star Mirror, which is also a treasure of the sect. However, I recently heard that a pseudo-immortal treasure has been discovered in the Seven Star Spirit Realm, and the entire ocean is vying for it. I never expected the news to spread so far that even the lower-level cultivators of the Tai Xuan Sect could find out about it."

Upon hearing this, Gu An asked curiously, "What is a pseudo-immortal treasure?"

You Yingying replied, "It's a damaged immortal treasure. The immortal spirit is dormant. Although it still has great power, it's not as powerful as a complete immortal treasure."

Gu An suddenly suspected that the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord had come to the Tai Xuan Sect for this pseudo-immortal treasure.

Gu An, who doesn't usually fight, isn't interested in immortal treasures; he has more faith in his own magical power.

You Yingying continued to introduce other immortal treasures, each one a legendary item, said to grant immortality to whoever possessed it, describing them as incredibly powerful.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison lay to the side, listening intently, his eyes filled with longing.

As Gu An listened, he enveloped the continent with his divine sense. He discovered that cultivators and monsters were arriving from all directions from overseas, including many beings at the Immortal Realm. He had already detected three Loose Immortals and more than a dozen Nirvana Realm beings on their way.

Within the continent, there are already more than twenty scattered immortals, scattered in different places, searching for immortal treasures. Some have even approached the small world of the Seven Star Spirit Realm, plotting how to infiltrate it.

It is worth mentioning that Gu An saw An Hao, Li Ya, and Zhang Buku traveling in the land of the demon race. Among them, An Hao was fighting alone against a great demon in the Nascent Soul stage.

"After discussing the immortal treasures, let's talk about Journey to the West," You Yingying suddenly said, looking intently at Gu An.

She usually enjoys reading all kinds of miscellaneous books, especially stories, which is why she is on good terms with Xuan Tianyi.

Ever since Xuan Tianyi showed her the Investiture of the Gods, she has been very interested in Pan An.

"What do you want to talk about?" Gu An asked.

You Yingying immediately asked a whole bunch of questions, such as whether there was any connection between Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West, how many years apart they were, and on which continent the story took place, etc.

She was even curious about how Gu An had written these two extraordinary books.

Gu An answered them one by one. As for the source of his inspiration, he said that he had met two Taoist priests before, one named Xu Zhonglin and the other named Wu Cheng'en. The former told him the story of Investiture of the Gods, and the latter told him the story of Journey to the West.

You Yingying did not question them; instead, she became even more curious about the two Taoists.

She felt that Gu An, given his level of cultivation, didn't seem to have that kind of insight; at most, he was just good at writing.

Blood Prison Great Sage listened with curiosity. He knew that Gu An wrote books, but he didn't know what they were about. He only became interested when You Yingying mentioned the Bull Demon King.

Because Gu An named him Bull Demon King!
His master actually wrote a book for him?

Who is Sun Wukong? Could he be the monkey from Tianya Valley?

The thought of those three monkeys made the Great Sage of Blood Prison very angry. These three guys were always secretly plucking his fur, and the worst part was that he couldn't catch them.

Two hours passed just like that.

You Yingying brought over tea and snacks, clearly indicating that she wasn't planning to let Gu An leave.

In the years since she came to Tai Xuan Sect, the reason she hasn't looked for Gu An is that she's been busy reading. She has read through all the books in the library, a dedication that even Gu An admires.

Just then, a high-pitched dragon roar came from the horizon, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

You Yingying's expression changed, and she murmured, "The Dragon-Slaying Spear of Chi Jiuxiao."
