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

Chapter 225 Gu An and the Sword Master of the Way

Xuan Valley, inside the pavilion.

Boom!
Li Ya slammed a small town onto the table. The town was only the size of a palm, but upon closer inspection, its internal structure was extremely intricate and complex.

It's a miniature version of the City of Wonders!
He raised his chin, looking arrogant and haughty.

Looking at the Mysterious City, Gu An asked curiously, "What kind of sculpture is this?"

Li Ya's lips twitched, and he glared, exclaiming, "This is the City of Mysteries!"

Upon hearing this, Gu An looked shocked, which made Li Ya feel better. However, Gu An's next sentence almost made him furious.

"Wow, Senior Brother, you've actually created a replica of a mythical city!"

"What imitation? This is real! If you don't believe me, I'll summon a celestial spirit to show you!"

After saying this, Li Ya called out to the divine spirits in his heart, but no matter how he called, the divine spirits would not come out.

He immediately panicked.

what happened?

Why did you play dead at such a crucial moment?
Gu An almost burst out laughing, but fortunately, his acting skills, honed over the years, were already superb. He pretended to be confused as he reached for the Mysterious City, and then his expression changed drastically.

He pretended he couldn't lift it, and the entire pavilion trembled; he still couldn't lift the Divine City.

"Could it really be true?" Gu An muttered.

Li Ya, ignoring the curses he was internally in indignation, said smugly, "Do you know how many powerful cultivators are in the City of Mystery?"

He began to recount his experiences. He did not mention that the divine spirits had approached him, but rather said that he had gone through various trials before gaining the recognition of the divine spirits.

Gu An admired him.

I never expected his acting skills to be so good.

If I hadn't personally delivered it to your mouth, I would have almost believed you got it by passing a test!
Gu An only teased him in his heart, but agreed verbally, satisfying Li Ya's vanity.

Li Ya focused on recounting his battles against the immortals of the Seven Star Spirit Realm, which made Gu An exclaim in surprise from time to time.

They chatted for two full hours before Li Ya finally stopped, still feeling like he hadn't had enough.

How cool!
It's still more exciting to brag to my buddies!
He wouldn't even bother talking to a fellow disciple with whom he had only a casual relationship.

As Gu An poured tea for him, Li Ya's smile never stopped. He took out a jade ruler from his storage bag, which was nearly two feet long and bluish-white in color.

“This is a top-grade magic artifact. I originally intended to give it to you as a celestial treasure, but your cultivation level is too low. A celestial treasure would only bring you trouble,” Li Ya said earnestly. He then took out one rare and precious herb after another, placed them on the table, and accepted them one by one.

Gu An was deeply moved.

Although the Mysterious City belonged to him, Li Ya's willingness to take such good care of him without knowing the truth was enough to prove Li Ya's feelings for him.

Gu An is very generous to those around him, but most of his favors are small and easy. Those he has truly helped are also helping him in return.

"I have to go to the Star Sea Sect. I'm afraid I won't be back for another hundred years. Don't miss me too much," Li Ya said smugly, though he was very reluctant to leave.

A century is too long; no one can predict what will happen a century from now.

He was also worried about Gu An, but he had his own path to walk in life.

Gu An nodded and said, "A hundred years from now, as long as you come back, I will still be here waiting for you. Although it is difficult to live for a thousand years, I have now formed my core, so living for several hundred years should not be difficult."

Li Ya smiled and then recalled memories of the two men when they were still minors.

Another hour passed, and Li Ya climbed over the window and left.

Looking at the footprints he left behind, Gu An suspected that he had done it on purpose.

No, we have to let the gods and spirits bully him a bit, under the guise of teaching him a lesson!
Gu An made a decision in his heart and simultaneously transmitted the command to the divine spirits through his mind.

at dusk.

Zhang Buku came to visit Gu An. He and Li Ya had arranged beforehand to visit Gu An separately.

Zhang Buku had something on his mind that he wanted to say to Gu An alone, while Li Ya didn't want to mess up the seniority system, as it was too crowded for the three of them to be in one room!
As expected, Zhang Bukui criticized Li Ya, saying that Li Ya was just lucky because the fairy spirit took the initiative to come to him. However, he was not jealous of Li Ya. On the contrary, he was very happy for Li Ya. In his words, if Li Ya was not strong enough, he was afraid that they would die on the road when they went on adventures in the future.

At the end of the conversation, Zhang Bukui also brought out a number of rare and precious materials for Gu An as a token of his gratitude.

Gu An declined, but the man insisted on giving it to him, so Gu An had no choice but to accept it.

Zhang Bukui was very happy to be able to repay Gu An, and began to talk about his childhood, how much he wished his father could see his current achievements.

pity!

Zhang Bukui did not leave until evening.

……

As winter snow fell, the main force of the Tai Xuan Sect returned, and Zhen Qin immediately came to visit Gu An, bringing many treasures with her.

Gu An was both amused and exasperated, but he did not refuse.

Four days later, at night, someone came looking for Gu An again.

It was Jiang Qiong.

The two entered the Eight Views Cave and chatted.

"It's been many years. How have you been?" Gu An asked softly as he sat in front of the old vine tree.

Two vines emerged and began to press on his shoulders.

Seeing how much he was enjoying himself, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Jiang Qiong took out a medicine cauldron, lit a fire and poured in water before replying, "It's quite good. I recently went to the City of Mysteries and gained a lot."

She began putting medicinal herbs into the cauldron.

Gu An immediately congratulated her.

"Do you know who I serve now?" Jiang Qiong asked casually. Gu An shook his head and said, "How would I know? I am just a mortal in the cultivation world, and I know only a limited number of great cultivators."

"The Sword Master Who Supports the Dao".

"what?"

Gu An was shocked. He cursed inwardly, "Didn't I tell you not to say it? How could you say it so easily?"
Today Jiang Qiong told him about the Sword Master Fudao, and tomorrow she might tell others about the Sword Master Fudao. How could he not panic?

Of course, even if people knew about Jiang Qiong's relationship with the Sword Master Fudao, it wouldn't threaten Gu An; rather, it would be Jiang Qiong who would be in danger of being killed.

"I'm only telling you this, but don't you dare tell anyone else," Jiang Qiong said, turning around and glaring fiercely at Gu An.

Gu An said helplessly, "You shouldn't have told me. What if he heard it? Wouldn't I be in trouble?"

Jiang Qiong laughed and said, "Don't worry, the Sword Master Fudao doesn't kill nobody. I just wanted to have a chat with you."

She then changed the subject and began to recount her experiences in the City of Gods and Demons.

"This trip to the City of the Divine was fraught with peril, and I almost died. If it weren't for the intervention of the Sword Master Fudao, you wouldn't be able to see your grandmaster again," Jiang Qiong said softly.

Gu An comforted him, "You're back now, aren't you? You're a lucky person, and you might even become an immortal someday."

Jiang Qiong shook her head and said, "Immortal? How difficult that is. The higher you stand, the more you fear. By the way, why do you think the Sword Master takes such good care of me? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to my body?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Gu An, anticipating his reaction.

Gu An frowned and said, "I don't think so. He's so powerful and famous. He has no shortage of women."

I only take care of you because you taught me so many spells!
That you think like that is so hurtful!

Gu An felt insulted. How could the Sword Master of the Dao be so shallow?
Seeing Gu An frown, Jiang Qiong felt slightly relieved, but his words still made her very unhappy.

“There are many women in the world, but how many women have you seen who are more beautiful than your grandmaster?” Jiang Qiong said, glaring. As she spoke, she quickly stepped forward, came to Gu An, and bent down to stare at her.

The two faces were less than ten centimeters apart, so Gu An, who was sitting on the ground, had to move to the side.

Jiang Qiong raised her left foot, brushed past Gu An's ear, and stepped on the tree trunk to stop him.

"Why are you hiding? Do you dislike your grandmaster that much?" Jiang Qiong snorted.

Gu An said awkwardly, "How could I mind? I'm just afraid of offending you."

He glanced down.

Jiang Qiong was wearing a skirt, and although she was wearing pants underneath, her behavior was really indecent.

"offend?"

Jiang Qiong pulled her feet back, then squatted down and began to pull at Gu An's clothes.

"What do you want to do?" Gu An asked in alarm.

Jiang Qiong replied, "What if that being really sets its sights on me? How can I refuse? It's better to grant your wish before that happens..."

Although the Sword Master Fudao was very strong, in her heart, Gu An was more important, even the most important.

Gu An hurriedly tried to climb out, but Jiang Qiong kept increasing the pressure, and he couldn't reveal his true cultivation level, so he was in a dilemma.

"Don't do this... this is not good..." Gu An's robes had been torn to shreds, and even his hair was disheveled. His face was full of shame and indignation.

Jiang Qiong chuckled, stopped what she was doing, and laughed, "Even if you don't comply tonight, there's nothing I can do. Your grandmaster is going to force herself on you..."

"you……"

Gu An panicked. Was this guy serious?
I haven't even submitted to my junior sister, how could I submit to a witch like you?

Gu An was preparing to have the Sword Master Fudao take action.

Just then, Jiang Qiong stopped, stood up, and said irritably, "Look at your pathetic state. You took it off yourself and then went into the cauldron. Did you really think I wanted to do anything to you? I just prepared the best body-tempering medicine for you."

Gu An was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up.

He walked past Jiang Qiong and was kicked in the butt by her.

"Take it off quickly!"

Jiang Qiong said impatiently, she was genuinely annoyed.

Actually, she really had that impulse just now, but seeing Gu An's terrified look, she just couldn't bear it.

This made her somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Does this guy really look down on her?
Is it because of etiquette?
Jiang Qiong thought that Gu An grew up in a righteous environment and would definitely respect etiquette.

The reason she is disrespectful is because she comes from the demonic path.

Thinking about it this way, she felt much better.

Indeed, if he hadn't felt anything at all, why did his eyes glance downwards just now?

Jiang Qiong smiled.

Gu An arrived at the medicine cauldron, quickly took off his clothes, and then leaped into the cauldron, splashing water everywhere.

"It's a bit hot," Gu An's voice came from inside the cauldron.

Jiang Qiong said coldly, "Bear with it. A grown man shouldn't be afraid of pain."

Gu An remained silent, not daring to say anything more.

The Eight Views Cave was plunged into silence.

After all the medicinal herbs were placed, Jiang Qiong took out a blood-red pagoda, sat on the ground, and carefully examined it.

Gu An poked his head out and asked, "What kind of treasure is this?"

Jiang Qiong stared at the blood-red pagoda and said, "This is the Blood Domain Soul Suppressing Pagoda, a celestial treasure, extremely powerful. I only obtained it by chance."
