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

Breakthrough after Chapter 236
Looking at Yang Jian, who was now completely different, Gu An smiled.

Yang Jian reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in one go, and his blood and qi were so powerful that they far exceeded those of the Foundation Establishment Realm. This proved that Gu An's pills and herbs were not wasted.

Of course, there are definitely more mysteries hidden in Yang Jian's physique, which need to be discovered through future cultivation.

Gu An took out a blue robe and tossed it to Yang Jian, who quickly put it on.

The Immortal Seeker strode up to Yang Jian, scrutinized him closely, and became increasingly delighted with his gaze, as if he were looking at a rare treasure, which made Yang Jian quite uncomfortable.

"Young friend, your master has been incredibly kind to you. Do you know what kind of tribulation you went through before?"

The Immortal Seeker spoke, and Yang Jian, upon hearing this, couldn't help but ask what kind of heavenly tribulation it was.

Then, the Immortal Seeker began to explain the Mysterious Netherworld Tribulation, and told him that it was Gu An who dispelled the tribulation, and for this he also bore a great tribulation.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's expression changed drastically. He quickly bypassed the Immortal Seeker and knelt down in front of Gu An.

"Master... I am not worthy of your doing this, I am so sorry..."

Yang Jian pressed his forehead to the ground and choked out his words.

He felt both moved and guilty. His master had not only given him precious pills and herbs to change his fate, but had also taken on the karmic consequences of the heavenly tribulation. This kindness was truly immense.

Although he had never suffered hardship and his family was happy from childhood, his world turned dark after he tested his spiritual root. Gu An brought him hope and fulfilled that hope...

Yang Jian knew that his master could train other disciples and didn't necessarily have to choose him. That's why he felt so deeply indebted to his master.

Gu An looked down at him and said, "Since you have accepted me as your master, this is what a master should do. Get up. I don't ask you to repay me in the future. I only hope that if you cause trouble, you won't implicate me."

Yang Jian looked up and saw Gu An wink at him. He immediately realized that his master was joking with him. This was the instruction that Bodhi Patriarch gave to Sun Wukong in Journey to the West.

"Master..."

"Get up quickly! What kind of behavior is this, a grown man crying like this?"

"it is good……"

Looking at Gu An and Yang Jian, the Immortal Seeker was filled with emotion. He had a feeling that many years later, today's events would become a legend as Yang Jian's fame spread throughout the world.

He stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist, it is fate that we meet. I have a supernatural power here that I would like to pass on to your disciple. I wonder if you would mind?"

Gu An said, "Jian'er, why don't you quickly thank the senior?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately turned around, clasped his hands in a salute to the Immortal Seeker, and thanked him for his supernatural powers.

The Immortal Seeker took out a secret manual from his sleeve and personally handed it to Yang Jian, saying, "Young friend, what is your name? I will keep an eye on your achievements in the future."

Yang Jian accepted the manual, first looking at Gu An. Seeing Gu An nod, he then replied, "My name is Yang Jian."

"Yang Jian?"

The Taoist priest noted down the name, feeling as if he had seen it in a book before.

Afterwards, the Taoist Seeking Immortality left without disturbing the master and disciple any further, and took his leave.

Gu An began to teach Yang Jian the martial arts technique, the Heaven and Earth Innate Skill!
The Myriad Forms and Qi Techniques and the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Innate Skill are the foundation of Gu An's existence. Even An Hao only cultivates the low-level version, which shows how much Gu An values ​​Yang Jian.

Yang Jian had been in the valley for many years. Although he didn't have a particularly charismatic personality, Gu An liked his honest nature.

This kid is thoughtful, but he's also very reliable when it comes to getting things done.

He clearly wanted to curry favor with Gu An, but instead of finding an opportunity to face Gu An, he diligently served the Blood Prison Great Sage and the White Spirit Rat for many years, which even Gu An found amusing.

In Gu An's eyes, Yang Jian was a rough diamond, and he was eager to see what kind of person Yang Jian would become under his careful guidance.

Gu An didn't expect Yang Jian to repay him in the future; teaching Yang Jian was merely an embellishment to his leisurely life.

He just wanted to teach his apprentices, nothing more.

……

It was evening when we arrived at the Third Medicine Valley.

Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Sage down from the teleportation platform, with Yang Jian following beside him.

"Master, where have you been? I haven't seen you for four days," Anxin asked curiously as she passed by.

Her gaze fell on Yang Jian, her eyes widening as she scrutinized him.

"I went out for a walk."

Gu An answered casually, then turned and climbed down, walking alone towards the attic.

An Xin immediately went to Yang Jian's side, carefully observed him, and asked, "Are you really Yang Jian? How come you've changed so much?"

Yang Jian has mastered the method of the Myriad Forms and Qi Technique, which allows him to conceal his aura, but he is still unable to accurately fake his cultivation level.

He said awkwardly, "My master gave me a pill to strengthen my bones and muscles, so my skin has become a little whiter."

"I see. It seems Master has taken you as his last disciple." An Xin smiled. She wasn't envious; her master was far more capable than Gu An.

Although the disciples of Medicine Valley all call Gu An "Master," it is merely a title of respect and does not imply any real relationship.

Yang Jian scratched his head and smiled. Although he was still shy, he exuded a newfound confidence.

After chatting for a while, more and more disciples noticed Yang Jian's change and came over to ask him questions.

In just a few days, Yang Jian seemed to have transformed from a peasant lad into a fair-skinned and handsome young man, which was quite a shock to his disciples. Soon, news spread that Yang Jian had become Gu An's last disciple, and because of Yang Jian's transformation, Gu An became even more mysterious in the eyes of his disciples.

In the days that followed, Yang Jian continued to do chores like the other disciples, but he spent his spare time cultivating. He spent most of his day hiding in his room. To prevent anyone from disturbing his cultivation, Gu An arranged a courtyard for him.

Yang Jian truly felt the change in status brought about by becoming Gu An's apprentice, which made him even more grateful to Gu An.

time flies.

Another Spring Festival has arrived, and the cultivation world has been dominated by the Heavenly Ranking Conference. The Tai Xuan Sect has finalized the specific time for the Heavenly Ranking Conference, which will be held during the Spring Festival ten years from now.

When Ye Lan and Zhen Qin visited Gu An at the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An introduced Yang Jian to them and pointed out that he was his disciple.

For this, Ye Lan also gifted Yang Jian a magical artifact.

Zhen Qin was very happy and referred to herself as her senior sister, saying that she could come to the inner sect to find her if she needed anything in the future.

Little did they know that Gu An introduced Yang Jian to them so that they could have a powerful backer.

Since his physique awakened, Yang Jian has cultivated for half a year and his cultivation level has increased from the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the sixth level. This speed is very fast. It is estimated that he will be able to form his core before the start of the Heavenly Ranking Tournament. You should know that half a year ago he was only a cultivator at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Besides his increased cultivation level, Yang Jian's comprehension of the Myriad Forms and Qi Technique was extremely rapid; he seemed to be born with a natural talent for body refinement.

Lu Baitian also came to the Third Medicine Valley to talk to Gu An, and Gu An introduced Yang Jian to Lu Baitian in the same way.

Inside the room, Lü Baitian looked at the energetic Yang Jian, becoming more and more surprised.

This person's blood and energy are extraordinary!

Even though Yang Jian concealed his cultivation level, his aura made people realize at first glance that he was no ordinary person.

Yang Jian was quite surprised to learn that this person was the sect leader of the Tai Xuan Sect, but compared to before, he was more composed in dealing with people and things, which was the confidence brought about by his own strength.

Moreover, he knew that his master was a wandering immortal, more powerful than anyone else in the Tai Xuan Sect.

This was something only he and the Great Sage of Blood Prison knew about, which made him even more proud.

“Your disciple is quite something. It’s a waste for him to be your disciple. Why don’t you come with me? I’ll send him to the inner sect for training,” Lü Baitian said.

Before Gu An could answer, Yang Jian quickly replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader, but I only wish to serve my master! I will never accept a second master in this lifetime!"

Lu Baitian's expression turned strange.

Gu Anze laughed and said, "You brat, I'm talking to the sect leader, how dare you interrupt?"

Lu Baitian couldn't help but look at Gu An. For some reason, he felt that Gu An had changed, a change that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

Spirit!

Correct!
That's the feeling he got from the moment he entered the room. He sensed that Gu An and Yang Jian shared the same temperament, the kind of spirit that only the chosen ones possess.

Could it be that Gu An has encountered a great opportunity?

Lu Baitian thought to himself, then smiled and said, "It's alright. Since he's your disciple, I won't take him by force. Let's talk about the Heavenly Ranking Tournament instead."

Gu An nodded, and the two began to discuss the Heavenly Ranking Tournament.

Yang Jian then realized that the Heavenly Ranking Tournament, which was famous throughout the cultivation world, was actually his master's idea.

Although somewhat surprised, he was not astonished.

What is the Heavenly Ranking Tournament? His master is a wandering immortal, absolutely the number one in the world. Even that mysterious Sword Master Fudao might not be his master's match!
Although the achievements of the Sword Master Fudao are widely known, the level of his opponents is not clearly known, at least not to Yang Jian.

An hour later, the three of them went downstairs together. Lü Baitian did not leave, but stayed in the Third Medicine Valley to celebrate the festival and chat with Gu An. He found it very interesting. Gu An could always inspire him, and there was no scheming between them. They could open their hearts and drink and talk happily.

Yang Jian was also praised by many disciples, and he almost never put down his wine bowl. For him, this was the happiest Spring Festival ever.

……

Late at night, Gu An arrived at Nianchu Cave with fine wine and delicacies, and sat around the stone table with Tian Yao'er, Tian Qing, and Tian Bai.

"Eat slowly, it's not like there's nothing left." Gu An couldn't help but laugh as he watched the three demons wolfing down their food.

He still wore a mask, with his mouth exposed so he could drink.

Tian Yao'er put down the roasted lamb leg in her hand, wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth, and asked curiously, "Master, you seem very happy?"

"It's alright. I took on a disciple in the past six months. He's quite talented and always manages to surprise me, so I'm naturally in a good mood," Gu An replied, while also giving the three demons a little nudge to keep them from slacking off.

Tian Yao'er frowned and asked, "Disciple? Male or female?"

"It's a man, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Master. Don't worry, I won't let you down. I'll give you a chance to spar with your disciple sometime in the future," Tian Yao'er said confidently.

Gu An smiled and agreed.

Although Tian Yao'er's lifespan is longer than Yang Jian's, she is a demon and cannot be compared. In terms of aptitude, Tian Yao'er is definitely no match for Yang Jian.

Gu An was even more looking forward to the sparring match between An Hao and Yang Jian.

After the Spring Festival, he planned to find a place to break through and go see An Hao again.
