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

Chapter 277 Extreme Lifespan, Arrival of the Wandering Immortal

After arriving at the secluded paradise, Gu An did see a seventh-tier medicinal herb that had matured, but he felt that it could continue to be nurtured. The herb continued to grow roots at its base, giving rise to more seeds in the surrounding soil.

Gu An watched for a while, but did not pick it. Instead, he hoped that it would encourage the growth of more seeds so that sustainable development could be achieved.

Having already reached the ninth level of the Mystic Immortal Realm, Gu An no longer needed to rush to reap thousands or tens of thousands of years of lifespan.

His goal is to live for 100 million years!

As long as the overall time is shorter, that's fine.

Once the high-grade medicinal herbs in the secluded paradise reach maturity, he might be able to gain tens of millions of years of lifespan in one fell swoop; just thinking about it is exciting.

"I plan to expand this cave, and you can move in later. If you get bored, you can also raise some monsters, but you must know the rules and not damage my herbs."

Gu An gazed at the boundless medicinal herb garden and chuckled softly.

Hearing his words, Tian Yao'er and the other two girls were very excited and began to dream along with him.

Rather than raising monsters, they long to go out and explore.

Gu An promised them that they could go out and have some fun once they reached the Mahayana realm, which was also for their sake.

Upon hearing the word "Mahayana Realm," the three women's expressions fell.

How long would it take to reach that level through cultivation?

“The world outside is dangerous. If you get caught, being bullied is the least of your worries. They might skin you alive, use your flesh and blood to make pills, and use your bones to make ornaments…” Gu An shook his head and said, scaring the three women into no longer daring to dream of going out.

They had already suffered hardships before joining Gu An. Tian Yao'er was kept by the Heavenly Phoenix Demon Mother, and Tian Qing and Tian Bai were orphans who wandered around. During that time, their injuries never healed.

Tianqing sighed, "You should focus on your cultivation instead of raising monsters, so as not to distract yourself."

Tian Bai nodded while holding Gu An's arm, then swayed her body. Tian Yao'er quickly pushed her away and snatched Gu An's arm from her.

"There's a calamity going on outside right now." Gu An's heart fluttered, but his face remained serious as he began to talk about the calamity at sea. The three women were quickly intrigued and listened attentively to his story.

The vast rift in the sea, the realm of gods and spirits, the strange and vengeful ghosts—these things terrified them.

They had no idea how to deal with the immortal and indestructible ghosts.

"Master, will this calamity affect you? Should we hide in the grotto?"

"If the maritime forces cannot be dealt with, they will inevitably affect the mainland we live on sooner or later."

"How could there be such terrifying ghosts in the world?"

The three women started chattering again.

After spending an hour in the secluded cave, Gu An finally returned to the Tai Xuan Sect.

He arrived at the Third Medicine Valley and, as was his habit, went to watch the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord play chess. On the way, he was stopped by You Yingying.

"Why do you smell so good? And there's more than one scent. Did you go to a brothel?" You Yingying asked him, puzzled.

Gu An's lips twitched, and he said irritably, "Nonsense, can you not speak so rudely?"

"Okay, you went to Yixianglou?"

"They're much cleaner than you."

You Yingying wasn't angry after hearing this. Instead, she smiled and said, "Sure enough, no man is any good."

Gu An ignored her and walked past her.

“Wait, the Star Sea Sect is preparing to give the Tai Xuan Sect a thousand places to join and cultivate for five years. If you want to go, I can help you get them,” You Yingying said as she caught up.

Gu An replied without turning his head, "Given my relationship with the sect leader, do I need you to advocate for me?"

You Yingying replied, "Tai Xuan Sect will definitely choose the thousand disciples with the most talent. Even if you go, with your cultivation level, you will only feel pressure. If I put in a good word for you, you can have a better life and gain more. Maybe you can even go into seclusion and break through to the Nascent Soul Realm when you come back."

Gu An stopped and looked at her.

This girl is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet she speaks so arrogantly, which shows that she holds a very high position in the Star Sea Sect.

Gu An suddenly became interested and began to probe the mysterious causal power within You Yingying's body.

He had long ago discovered that You Yingying's cultivation was being suppressed by a mysterious causal force, but he hadn't bothered to investigate it before because he didn't want to cause trouble.

Now that my cultivation level is high enough, I can take a look.

Because of this force of cause and effect, Gu An could not directly deduce her fate.

suddenly!

Gu An saw a hideous face burst out of You Yingying's body, lunge at him, and then vanish into thin air.

This is just an illusion; it has no real destructive power.

Gu An saw through this illusion and felt something was amiss.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you thinking about how to thank me? It's simple. Write another Journey to the West, and tell us about Sun Wukong after he becomes the Victorious Fighting Buddha. Stop wandering around all day doing nothing productive." You Yingying said with her hands on her hips.

Gu Anle said, "No, that's not it. Some stories don't necessarily need to be written out to an end. Leaving some room for imagination makes them more memorable."

You Yingying glared at him and asked, "Are you going or not?"

"No, thank you for your kindness, but I just want to live out the rest of my life in Medicine Valley. What if the Holy Maiden of your Star Sea Sect takes a fancy to me if I go?"

"Pah, shameless! Our Star Sea Cult has no saintess."

"Being entangled with a female genius is also very stressful, just like now."

"you……"

You Yingying started to make a move, and Gu An quickly jumped away and slipped away. This girl really doesn't know what's good for her!

Gu An was afraid the shock would kill her.

The mundane days continued. After visiting the outer heavens, Gu An did not go again. Having gained a general understanding of the Heavenly Spirit Great World, he felt there was no need to go again.

As the first snow of winter arrives, the Third Medicine Valley gradually turns white.

Gu An went downstairs and stood in front of the attic. He raised his right hand to touch the flying snow.

Feeling the slight coolness from his palm, Gu An's mood brightened.

His gaze turned toward the mouth of the valley, where a blurry figure was approaching amidst the white snow.

A wandering immortal, and with a cultivation level of nine.

It was this person's arrival that prompted Gu An to come downstairs.

Why would a wandering immortal arrive out of nowhere?
Gu An watched quietly as the person entered the valley.

The man was a handsome monk wearing a kasaya, holding prayer beads, walking forward with his eyes closed. Snowflakes fell on his shoulders, forming a white shawl.

【Divine Heart Child (Ninth Level of the Immortal Realm): 45865/190000/999999】

Ok?
A lifespan of 999,999 years?
This was the first time Gu An had ever seen such an extreme lifespan.

This was absolutely the highest lifespan he had ever seen beyond Nirvana.

Nine is the ultimate number, and it is unknown whether An Hao and Yang Jian can reach such an ultimate lifespan after their Nirvana.

Gu An seemed to be deep in thought. He watched as Shen Xinzi walked towards the chess area in the Medicine Valley, seemingly heading towards the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord.

Many disciples in the valley noticed Shen Xinzi's arrival, so it wasn't just Gu An staring at him that attracted his attention; he didn't even open his eyes.

After Shenxinzi arrived in the crowd, he heard the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord urging him on.

"Can you play faster? You're dawdling and not decisive at all!"

Nine-Fingered God looked impatient, his arms crossed over his chest.

Sitting opposite him, Old Lu muttered, "You were slower than I am now when you were with my master."

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord glared and said, "I wanted to outlast your master, but you think you can outlast me? Even if you're in your coffin, I can still sit here leisurely waiting for you to make your move, but what's the point?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Lu's face turned green, and the surrounding disciples also expressed their dissatisfaction, criticizing Nine-Fingered Divine Lord for speaking excessively.

Of course, the reason they dared to speak out was because they were familiar with the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord and knew that he wouldn't really get angry.

It's unclear when exactly, but Nine-Fingered Divine Lord was able to show his true nature in the Third Medicine Valley, without putting on airs; at least, he himself liked this feeling.

While debating with the scholars, the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord glanced at the Divine Heart Child in the crowd.

He glanced at it once and then looked away.

Shenxinzi opened his eyes and began to observe the chess game.

Half an hour later, Elder Lu was defeated, and the others took their place. Shen Xinzi stood aside and watched the game. Although everyone was curious about him, they did not ask him any questions. Nowadays, many great cultivators come to Medicine Valley to watch the game, all for the sake of Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, so they are used to it.

Gu An didn't keep an eye on Shen Xinzi. He rode the Blood Prison Great Saint and began to patrol the Medicine Valley.

After noon, Nine-Fingered Divine Lord won another game of chess. He looked at Divine Heart Child and said, "Little monk, how about a game?"

Shen Xinzi said, "Amitabha, then please enlighten me, senior."

Seeing his extraordinary bearing, the disciples all made way for him.

After taking their seats, Shenxinzi made the first move.

He had observed three games of chess and already knew the rules.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord's lips curled up, and he adopted the same imposing manner as Gu An had shown him, making each move faster than the last.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Shenxinzi was defeated.

The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord asked smugly, "How was this game?"

Shen Xinzi pondered and said, "Indeed, it contains profound truths. The small chessboard contains a myriad of things, with black and white pieces devouring each other, just like the competition between all things in the world. It is ever-changing, and one can turn the tide in a desperate situation or set up a trap to kill. It is interesting."

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord stood up and said, "Let's go, let's find another place to talk, so as not to disturb the others playing chess."

Shenxinzi nodded and stood up.

The disciples breathed a sigh of relief; with the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord gone, they could finally enjoy the game of Go.

Not only was the Nine-Fingered God skilled at chess, but he also loved to give them pointers, making their chess games a real ordeal.

The two arrived at the path in Medicine Valley. Nine-Fingered Divine Lord looked at the vast sky and asked, "Little monk, why have you come? Are you just passing by, or were you sent by the Buddhist sect of the Sea of ​​Suffering?"

Shen Xinzi clasped his hands together and said, "I was ordered to go to the Great Rift of the Broken Sea. I passed by this place and sensed your presence, so I came to pay you a visit. I did not expect that there are other disciples of our sect in this sect. I see that the Tai Xuan Sect has extraordinary fortune. Could it be that you intend to support us?"

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord chuckled and said, "My support? It seems you haven't heard of the Sword Venerable of Supporting the Dao?"

Just as Shen Xinzi was about to ask a question, his gaze suddenly locked onto You Yingying, who was passing by not far away, and his sword-like eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Seeing his gaze, the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord couldn't help but ask, "You've seen it too, what are you going to do?"

His tone was intriguing, suggesting a sense of schadenfreude or a desire to stir up trouble.

Shenxinzi took a deep breath and said, "Since it is a demon, it must be eliminated."
