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

Chapter 266 The Supreme Treasure Body, A Dream of a Past Life

"Such talent is rare, truly rare."

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord looked Ji Xiaoyu up and down, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Ji Xiaoyu frowned slightly. She walked around the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord and came to Gu An's side, leaning against him and watching the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord warily.

Gu An chuckled and said, "Senior, don't frighten the child."

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord stood up, turned to look at Gu An, and said with emotion, "Gu An, this girl's talent is extraordinary. You must try to win her over while she is still young. Establish a good relationship with her, and she might save your life in the future."

Gu An said nonchalantly, "I won't even leave the Tai Xuan Sect, what danger could I possibly encounter?"

"Too."

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord smiled, then glanced at Ji Xiaoyu again before turning and leaving.

Gu An looked at Ji Xiaoyu and smiled, "My name is Gu An. You can call me Valley Master from now on."

Ji Xiaoyu nodded gently, her gaze towards Gu An remaining calm, as if she truly did not remember Gu An.

This left Gu An with a slight sense of regret, as Ji Xiaoyu in this life was ultimately not the same person as in the previous life.

Gu An took Ji Xiaoyu's small hand and walked towards the pavilion complex.

Ji Xiaoyu's expression became slightly unnatural, but she did not break free.

Subsequently, Gu An arranged for Ji Xiaoyu to live with An Xin and for An Xin to take care of her.

He had his own selfish motives. Ji Xiaoyu would rise to great heights sooner or later, and if he could build a deep relationship with An Xin, he could become a great support for An Xin in the future.

Anxin was, after all, his disciple, so he would naturally think of her well-being.

Less than half an hour later, there was a knock on Gu An's door, and a childish voice came from outside:
"Valley Master, may I come in?"

Upon hearing this, Gu An replied, "Come in."

The door opened, and young Ji Xiaoyu walked in.

She wore a white lotus-patterned dress, her hair neatly combed, looking like a fairy descended to earth.

She walked to the table, stared at Gu An, and asked, "Valley Master, may I stay alone?"

Although her voice was still childlike, her tone and manner of speaking were very mature and steady.

"Why?" Gu An looked at her and asked with a smile.

Ji Xiaoyu replied, "I prefer to live alone, and I don't want to be disturbed when I'm cultivating."

Gu An thought for a moment and said, "How about you live downstairs from me?"

The attic where he lived had two floors. The first floor was used for accommodation, and only he could live there, but he usually stayed in the study on the second floor.

Ji Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Gu An smiled gently and said, "If you need anything else, just tell me. Although my surname is Gu, I was born into the Ji family."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Were you born into the Ji family?"

“Yes, I used to be a servant in the Ji family…” Gu An began to recount his background and how he entered the Tai Xuan Sect.

However, he did not reveal Ji Xiaoyu's name, only saying that she was the third young lady of the family.

He wanted to test Ji Xiaoyu to see if she remembered.

Ji Xiaoyu listened attentively, and after Gu An finished speaking, she asked, "Have you investigated who your parents are? The servants of the Ji family have records of them."

Gu An was stunned.

In fact, when he reached the level of the carefree immortal, the reason he returned to the Ji family was to see the cause and effect of the past and to see what his parents looked like. Unfortunately, he did not see them.

Whether it was because of the passage of time or some other reason, Gu An could not see the cause and effect of his childhood.

“No, no matter who they are, if they miss me, they will naturally come looking for me, won’t they?” Gu An replied.

It would be a lie to say that he never fantasized about his parents in this life. However, he had lived two lives, so he wasn't too saddened by it. Although he didn't have parents in this life, he had them in his previous life and had already experienced family affection.

Ji Xiaoyu moved the chair next to her to the table, then sat down. She placed her hands on the table, looked at Gu An, and said, "It's strange, but I have very little affection for my parents. The other children in the clan have excellent relationships with their parents, but every time my mother gets close to me, I feel very uncomfortable..."

She began to express her feelings, and Gu An listened attentively.

Speaking of which, when he was a child, Gu An had heard other servants and maids talk about this matter. They said that the Third Miss had a distant relationship with her parents, which often saddened her mother. However, because the Third Miss was exceptionally talented, everyone had to please her, and even her parents dared not care too much.

Gu An guessed that although Ji Xiaoyu did not have memories of her past life, her temperament was preserved. Her intelligence and mind did not need to grow; she just needed an adaptation process.

As Ji Xiaoyu recounted her childhood experiences and feelings, Gu An occasionally chimed in. From an outsider's perspective, despite the age gap, the two seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

As they chatted, a smile gradually appeared on Ji Xiaoyu's face, no longer showing her usual cold demeanor.

They chatted until evening, when Ji Xiaoyu stood up and said, "It's getting dark, I have to go cultivate."

Gu An nodded with a smile.

This little girl is even more talkative than she was in her past life.

However, chatting with the kids occasionally is quite nice.

Ji Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Valley Master, I don't know why, but as soon as I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity, as if I had known you for a long time."

Gu An replied, "This shows that we are destined to meet. Welcome to my Medicine Valley."

Ji Xiaoyu smiled and then bowed to him like a little adult.

After she closed the door, Gu An picked up the book on the table and continued reading. As night fell, he sensed Ji Xiaoyu downstairs beginning her Qi cultivation.

He sensed the presence of the innate Dao talisman.

The innate Dao talisman still contained incredible power, aiding Ji Xiaoyu in her cultivation.

Gu An didn't keep observing Ji Xiaoyu; he quickly returned to focusing on his book.

……

Azure sea and sky, islands floating in the air, birds flying in flocks, cultivators coming and going.

On a floating island sits a palace, brightly lit inside, its floor a deep blue, shimmering like the sea.

An Hao sat cross-legged in the pool, surrounded by water mist, his black hair swaying slightly, and a faint light emanating from his body, like firelight.

A figure appeared out of thin air by the pool. It was a man in a long robe, with an air of otherworldly elegance. He held a whisk in his hand, his white hair was tied up under a lotus crown, and three flying swords of different shapes floated behind him.

“Disciple, you must not leave the Star Sea Sect for the foreseeable future. Your master is going to the Great Rift of the Broken Sea, and I do not know when I will be able to return,” the robed man said.

His Taoist name was Fuchen, and he was known as the Fuchen True Man. He was An Hao's master in the Xinghai Sect.

An Hao opened his eyes, looked at him, and frowned as he asked, "Why can't we leave? I don't have the City of the Gods."

Clearly, he was very unhappy about Li Ya's ban. After all, he and Li Ya came from the Tai Xuan Sect and could be considered fellow townsmen. How could he be happy to see his fellow townsman suffering?

Master Fuchen shook his head and said, “Your situation is different from his. Your troubles are much greater. A strange and vengeful ghost with an ancient treasure body has appeared in the Great Rift of the Broken Sea. He was once a transcendent immortal who could travel beyond the heavens. His name is Tian Wuchang. Tian Wuchang is preparing to devour all treasure bodies in the world. He will set his sights on you sooner or later. His cultivation is stronger than that of a wandering immortal.”

Even stronger than the Wandering Immortals!
An Hao's expression changed slightly. He now had an understanding of the realms of immortality, but the highest he could reach was the Wandering Immortal. Anything beyond that was a taboo subject of the sect and could not be inquired about rashly.

Master Fuchen comforted you, saying, "If you stay within the Star Sea Sect, he will definitely be unable to do anything to you. So you must not go out. Wait until all the sects have wiped out the strange and vengeful ghosts at the bottom of the Great Rift of the Broken Sea before you go out."

An Hao nodded. He wouldn't be so skeptical as to insist on going out and testing the might of the unpredictable heavens.

No matter how talented he was, in terms of strength, he knew he was still very weak on this ocean, and could even be considered a low-level cultivator.

Afterwards, Master Fuchen gave a few more instructions and then left.

An Hao raised his right hand, and wisps of flame surged from his palm, condensing into a small sun. The firelight illuminated his face, and his expression remained calm.

"Heaven is unpredictable, Supreme Treasure Body, why would I want to devour you?"

……

Hot summer.

In the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Sage off the teleportation platform. Today, he went to Tianya Valley to harvest a batch of medicinal herbs and spent half an hour in Xuan Valley.

Gu An looked up and gazed at the Xuanqing Tree in the distance.

Under the Xuanqing Tree, Ji Xiaoyu was staring at the tree, while Li Lingtian stood beside her, saying something.

Gu An patted the Blood Prison Great Sage, gesturing for him to walk towards the Xuanqing Tree.

"Girl, my swordsmanship is really amazing, are you sure you don't want to learn it?"

"Why don't you learn it? I see you have extraordinary talent; you must have a unique skill to rely on."

"Why are you ignoring me, you little brat? I am the Crown Prince!"

No matter how Li Lingtian tried to persuade him, Ji Xiaoyu ignored him, which made him stomp his feet in anger.

At this moment, Gu An's voice drifted over: "You should use your swordsmanship to defeat Jian'er first."

Upon hearing this, Li Lingtian quickly turned around, scratched his head awkwardly, and smiled.

Gu An rolled down and walked towards Ji Xiaoyu, saying, "Don't disturb her, or I'll have Jian'er take you to cultivate."

Li Lingtian's expression changed slightly, and he quickly left.

When Gu An arrived at Ji Xiaoyu's side, she was staring blankly at Xuan Qingshu.

Behind them came the sound of Blood Prison Great Sage and Li Lingtian bickering. Blood Prison Great Sage always managed to make Li Lingtian angry.

Gu An looked at Ji Xiaoyu, secretly amazed.

He's only been in the valley for a month and he's already starting to comprehend the Dao?

too exaggerated!

He didn't disturb Ji Xiaoyu, but stood by her side to protect her and prevent other disciples from bothering her.

Ji Xiaoyu didn't wake up until dusk.

Gu An guessed it was her body's instinctive reaction; she had to cultivate every night.

Ji Xiaoyu turned her head and saw Gu An. A smile appeared on her face as she said, "Brother Valley Master, what brings you here? Are you done with your work today?"

Gu An ruffled her hair and said, "I'm done with work a long time ago. What were you thinking about just now?"

Ji Xiaoyu called him "brother" because he arranged it. At first, she felt awkward, but she got used to it after calling him that for more than half a month.

As Ji Xiaoyu recalled, she said, "I seem to see some memories that belong to me, but I didn't experience them."

"Oh? What exactly did you see?"

“I saw myself standing in the sky, with many monsters and people kneeling before me.”

At this point, Ji Xiaoyu's face showed an unnatural expression. She felt that what she was saying sounded like a dream, but she had indeed seen it.
