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

Chapter 267 The Mysterious Ghost King, the Buddhist Sect in the Sea of ​​Suffering

Gu An asked, "What else did you see?"

Seeing that Gu An did not question her, Ji Xiaoyu continued her story.

She saw herself being chased by many people, saw herself diving into the sea and discovering a palace, and even saw herself flying into the sky to pluck stars, and so on.

After hearing this, Gu An said, "You can come here more often when you have nothing to do."

To everyone's surprise, Ji Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "Forget it, my intuition tells me I shouldn't touch those memories."

After saying that, Ji Xiaoyu turned and left.

As Gu An watched her retreating figure, he suddenly realized that her reincarnation was not simply for the purpose of improving her aptitude.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Ji Xiaoyu's innate Dao talisman contains such powerful energy that she no longer needs to improve her pre-Nirvana aptitude.

Could there be another hidden story? Is Ji Xiaoyu's soul always on guard against awakening her past life memories?

Gu An shook his head, too lazy to think about it further. In any case, Ji Xiaoyu couldn't stay in the Third Medicine Valley forever.

……

In late summer, Gu An arrived at Seeking Immortals Island.

His divine sense swept over the area, but the Immortal Seeker was nowhere to be seen. Had this fellow really escaped?

He shook his head, then walked into the street and began to wander around. This time, he did not call out to Hu Xiaojian.

Besides buying seeds, he also wanted to inquire about the unpredictable nature of fate.

The ocean is now filled with the sounds of battle, even battles between celestial beings. More and more strange and vengeful spirits are escaping from the great rift in the sea, some in groups and some alone.

Those lone, otherworldly spirits are all very powerful. Gu An hadn't been keeping a close eye on the Great Rift in the Broken Sea, so he came to hear some news.

Sure enough, the cultivators all over the streets were talking about the Great Rift in the Sea and the strange, vengeful ghosts.

It is said that there are nine divine ghost kings in the Great Rift of the Broken Sea. Each of the divine ghost kings has the strength to rival a major sect, and some of the divine ghost kings even wield immortal treasures.

The main force of the Star Sea Cult once encountered a strange ghost king, suffered heavy losses, and failed to capture the strange ghost king.

There are currently three known supernatural ghost kings: Tian Wuchang, Ni Jiuyou, and Yin Yang Luan.

All three of them have three-character names, and these three extraordinary ghost kings possess extraordinary abilities.

Tian Wuchang stormed into a powerful force comparable to the Star Sea Cult, devoured a prodigy, and left triumphantly, becoming famous in one battle.

The Nine Netherworlds were reversed, creating the Nine Netherworld Sea Mist. This mist is now raging across the ocean, turning all living beings on the seabed into skeletons wherever it passes.

The chaos of Yin and Yang is even more terrifying, as it steals souls and spirits, turning them into one's own ghost soldiers.

The three great demon kings did not fight side by side; each of them could bring catastrophe to the ocean.

These are all bad news, but there is also good news. It is said that a supreme treasure of immortality appeared in the Great Rift of the Broken Sea and was seized by a divine monk from the Buddhist sect of the Bitter Sea.

The Bitter Sea Buddhist Sect is a force from an extremely distant place, unknown to the cultivators on Seeking Immortals Island, who only know that it is very powerful.

Gu An wandered around for an hour, and then began to purchase medicinal herbs.

Before he could finish his shopping, rolling dark clouds swept in, enveloping the Immortal Seeking Island and darkening the entire island.

Although Gu An had already sensed the crisis on Seeking Immortals Island, he did not panic and calmly continued to buy medicinal herbs.

When he stepped out of the mansion gate, the Immortal Seeking Island was already shrouded in darkness.

His gaze fell upon the alleyway entrance, where a claw emerged from the dark wall, followed by a hideous monster crawling out.

Its body was entirely black, with blood-red cracks all over its surface, quite similar to the thousand-foot-tall figure in the terrifying waves earlier.

After landing, it looked up and saw that it had six eyes on its face. Its gaze quickly locked onto Gu An.

With a thunderous roar, a chilling howl echoed throughout the city, as if a hundred thousand monsters were howling in unison.

The six-eyed vengeful ghost also roared. It leaped forward like lightning and pounced on Gu An in the blink of an eye.

boom!
The six-eyed vengeful ghost instantly transformed into ghostly mist and exploded outwards.

Gu An walked up the steps, and battles broke out throughout the city. One after another, cultivators and monsters flew into the sky, and countless strange and vengeful ghosts rose up like arrows, chasing after them.

Gu An did not receive a lifespan notification, and completely gave up the idea of ​​using supernatural beings and vengeful ghosts to steal his lifespan.

Since there's no profit to be made, there's no need to stay any longer.

Gu An used the Limitless Free Step to leave the Immortal Seeking Island.

After returning to Tai Xuan Sect, he leisurely walked into Xuan Valley.

The summer heat was intense, and the disciples were all cultivating in their respective rooms. Gu An went upstairs to rest, and it wasn't until evening that he arrived at the Third Medicine Valley.

He likes to wander around now, and although he seems busy, he's not actually busy with anything, but he's used to this kind of life.

Upon returning, Gu An saw the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord playing chess. His opponent was no ordinary person; it was none other than Lu Lingjun's master, the Holy Mother of the Western Spirit.

Lu Lingjun was also watching the battle from the sidelines, which piqued Gu An's interest, so he went over to join in the fun.

When he arrived at Lu Lingjun's side, he heard the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord laugh and say, "You flatter me."

All the disciples praised him for his skill.

The Holy Mother of the Western Spirit remained calm. She looked at the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord and asked, "May I ask your name, senior? And which religion do you belong to?"

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord waved his hand and said, "Let's play chess, stop asking so many questions. Didn't the Bitter Sea Buddhist sect teach you manners?"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of the Western Spirit's expression changed slightly, but she did not say anything more. She stood up, bowed to the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, and then turned and left.

Lu Lingjun didn't follow, but looked at Gu An beside her and asked curiously, "How did you beat this senior?"

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord's face immediately turned ashen. He then gestured for the others to sit down and begin a game of chess. Gu An smiled smugly and said, "I used to want to interact with you as a mortal. Now that you've asked, I have no choice but to lay my cards on the table. I am a chess immortal in the mortal world, seeking the Dao through the black and white Tai Chi, and currently experiencing my destiny's tribulation in the mortal realm."

Lu Lingjun couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Old Lu, standing nearby, widened his eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Valley Master, are you really the Chess Immortal?"

The other disciples also looked at Gu An excitedly. Regardless of whether it was true or not, their expressions made Gu An very satisfied.

Children can be taught!
Gu An chuckled and said, "Just kidding. If I were really a chess master, would I still be stuck here doing odd jobs?"

The disciples smiled and showered him with compliments.

Watching Gu An enjoy the adoration of his disciples, Lu Lingjun shook her head and chuckled.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord felt that Gu An was very contradictory. Sometimes he was very worldly, but at other times he could see through the illusions of the world. Perhaps it was precisely because of the contradiction in his personality that his chess moves were so unpredictable and difficult to grasp.

Afterwards, Lu Lingjun pulled Gu An away, and the two went to a secluded place.

"Could I have the girl downstairs? I'd like to take her as my apprentice," Lu Lingjun asked expectantly.

Upon hearing this, Gu An shook his head and said, "She is the pride of the Ji family, but she is only staying here temporarily. If you want to take her as your disciple, you will have to ask the deputy sect leader."

Lu Lingjun curled her lip and said, "Ji Hantian? He definitely won't agree. He opposed my founding of the Ascension Sect before, fearing that I would undermine the foundation of the Tai Xuan Sect."

Gu An smiled and asked, "So what are you doing now?"

"I just couldn't bear to see such promising talents go to waste."

"If you can't bear to see the promising talents of the Tai Xuan Sect go to waste, are you going to poach all of them?"

"You brat, is that what you think of me?"

As they talked, Lu Lingjun started to touch her, and Gu Anzhen was afraid that she would be shocked to death.

Ugh.

He suddenly missed the days when Lu Lingjun bribed him.

At that time, Lu Lingjun's attitude was as good as could be.

Women are indeed fickle.

Gu An suddenly asked, "Your master comes from the Bitter Sea Buddhist Sect? What kind of sect is that, and where is it located?"

He was curious because he had also heard this name on Immortal Seeking Island earlier that day.

Lu Lingjun replied, "Yes, the Bitter Sea Buddhist Sect is very far from the Tai Xuan Sect. Not to mention you, even Ji Hantian would not be able to find the Bitter Sea Buddhist Sect in his entire life."

"It's so far away, you're not going to become a nun in the Buddhist order, are you?"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's not talk about this anymore."

Lu Lingjun glared at Gu An, then changed the subject, seemingly afraid of offending the Holy Mother of the West.

After chatting for a while, Lu Lingjun finally left.

Gu An then walked towards his attic.

Upon arriving at the foot of the attic, Ji Xiaoyu suddenly ran out of the house, saying she had something to tell him.

So the two went upstairs.

After sitting down, Gu An looked at Ji Xiaoyu sitting opposite him and asked, "What is it?"

Ji Xiaoyu said, "Wait a minute, Valley Master, why don't you read for a while?"

Seeing her nervous expression, Gu An found it amusing and didn't press her for details. Instead, he picked up the Investiture of the Gods and began to read it.

"Brother Valley Master, what do you think of Investiture of the Gods? Everyone says you like reading The Travels of the Green Knight." Ji Xiaoyu asked curiously.

Gu An's expression immediately changed, and he asked with a stern face, "Who said that?"

"That's what Tang Yu, Peng Chang, and Chen Jie said."

"Don't listen to their nonsense. I'll teach them a lesson tomorrow. How dare they slander their teachers!"

"Slander? Isn't The Legend of the Green Knight a good book?"

"Stop asking, why don't you read a book too?"

Gu An tossed the Journey to the West book on the table to Ji Xiaoyu, then focused on reading.

Half an hour later, Ji Xiaoyu put down Journey to the West, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "They're finally gone. Two people came to the valley today, and they made me feel very uncomfortable. One of them even wanted to take me as his disciple, but I refused."

Gu An sensed that the Holy Mother of the Western Spirit and Lu Lingjun had already flown away, and he was secretly surprised.

How could Ji Xiaoyu, who was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, sense the aura of the Holy Mother of the Western Spirit?

It's remarkable that she could even predict when the Holy Mother of the West would leave.

Gu An asked, "Why do you feel uncomfortable? Have you seen them?"

Ji Xiaoyu replied, "I haven't seen them, but when I was lost in thought under the Xuanqing Tree, I saw some scenes where there were people with similar auras to them. Those people wanted to capture me."

Ok?
Could it be that Ji Xiaoyu was an enemy of the Buddhist sect of the Bitter Sea in her previous life?
It seems we need to keep an eye on the Holy Mother of the Western Spirit. If she recognizes Ji Xiaoyu, we'll have to be careful to avoid affecting the disciples in the valley.

"Brother Valley Master, you'd better stay away from them. I have a feeling that getting close to them won't bring any good things," Ji Xiaoyu said seriously.

Gu An nodded and said, "Don't tell anyone else about this, to avoid causing trouble."

Ji Xiaoyu replied, "Don't worry, I'm just telling you. Apart from being close to you, I feel that among all the people in this world, only you would never harm me. It's a strange feeling, but that's really what I think."
