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

Chapter 543 This will be the greatest opportunity of your lives.
Night falls.

An Xin took Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai to stay temporarily in a temple. A fire was burning in the courtyard, and the flickering flames illuminated the courtyard walls.

Tang Cai stared at An Xin with hostility in her eyes, while An Xin admired the Fate-Determining Brush.

I've used the Destiny Pen more than once or twice, and I truly enjoy the immense power it contains.

Unfortunately, her master would take the pen back every time she used it, so she cherished the time she had and wanted to find out why the pen was so powerful.

As for Tang Cai's gaze, she had already noticed it and could guess what Tang Cai was thinking, but she deliberately didn't explain.

Because it's so much fun!
Tang Cai was the only one who treated her senior uncle Li like a treasure. In any case, An Xin felt that her senior uncle Li was just so-so, far less powerful than her master.

Every time Master mentions Uncle Li, he talks about how he got beaten up, using Uncle Li as a negative example. How could she possibly like Uncle Li?
Thinking of this, An Xin couldn't help but smile.

Tang Cai was even angrier when she saw An Xin smiling, but she couldn't lash out because An Xin had saved their lives.

While meditating to heal her injuries, Li Xuanyu kept thinking about the name Anxin.

Finally, she remembered. She opened her eyes, looked at An Xin, and asked, "Are you Gu An's apprentice?"

Mentioning Gu An, the blurry face in my memory gradually becomes clearer.

She had been away from the Tai Cang Continent for over nine thousand years and had never returned. Her encounter with Li Ya was purely by chance. On an island, Li Ya did not reveal that Gu An was the Sword Venerable Fudao.

Li Xuanyu couldn't connect Gu An with the Sword Master Fudao either. After all, when she met Gu An, he was still a medicine boy. Back then, she even helped Gu An find a way to manage a cave dwelling. At that time, Gu An was busy running around for a few spirit stones.

However, she later realized that Gu An was not simple and was hiding a secret, but she never thought of him as the Sword Master Fudao.

Anxin turned to look at her and smiled, "Yes, Senior Li, my master also mentioned you, saying that you helped him a lot when he was young."

Hearing this, Li Xuanyu was certain she hadn't misheard. A smile appeared on her face as she said with emotion, "I didn't help him much, it was just a small favor. How has he been lately?"

Anxin replied, "He's fine, don't worry."

"Could he be on this continent as well?"

"No, nobody knows where he went."

Anxin shook her head and said that it wasn't that she was being cunning, but that Gu An really wanted to hide his whereabouts and didn't want to be troubled anymore, so she couldn't cause Gu An any more trouble.

She was curious about how Gu An appeared in Li Xuanyu's eyes, so she began to tell her about the past Gu An had told her, and Li Xuanyu also fell into reminiscence after listening.

Tang Cai was also drawn in by the stories An Xin told, and gradually forgot her jealousy.

Upon hearing that Gu An was Li Ya's junior brother, Tang Cai became even more interested. She was curious about everything about Li Ya, but unfortunately, before she could get to know him, she had to part ways with him.

The things Anxin talked about were all told to her by Gu An. Although they were very ordinary, they made Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai feel a sense of warmth and a faint happiness on such a night.

In Li Xuanyu's mind, Gu An gradually became clearer, and those distant memories surfaced. Recalling Gu An's restraint in front of her, a smile appeared on her face.

More than nine thousand years have passed, and countless people have been buried in the earth. Gu An is still alive, which makes her truly happy. She is also surprised that Gu An can teach such a disciple.

A thousand years is a lifetime, and the changes brought about by nine thousand years are truly immense.

After An Xin finished speaking, Tang Cai asked curiously, "What is Gu An's cultivation level now?"

Anxin glanced at her and said with a smile, "How would I know? Do you see this pen? This is my master's magic weapon."

As she spoke, Anxin raised the Destiny-Changing Pen in her hand.

Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai both looked at the Destiny-Calming Brush in An Xin's hand. They couldn't forget the scene of An Xin wielding the brush to annihilate the demons. Those black crows were no ordinary creatures; even a rogue immortal would have his life essence drained if he were attacked by them.

Just as An Xin was showing off her Destiny-Determining Brush, Gu An, far away in the Wushi Dojo, was reading a book while listening to their conversation. "Senior Sister Li, it's been so many years."

Gu An lay back in the chair, holding a book in his hands, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He guided Li Xuanyu and the other girl to the Nine Spirits Continent, using celestial phenomena to bring them there by chance. Along the way, they were able to escape death repeatedly, thanks in part to Gu An's secret assistance.

Back then, Li Xuanyu had indeed helped Gu An. If it was just a small favor to help an old friend, he would naturally not hesitate to do so.

He helped Li Xuanyu because of Li Ya.

Li Ya's older sister and future wife both perished; how could he not save them?

The reason the two women were lured to the Nine Spirits Continent was because a great calamity was about to befall the outside world, and only on the Nine Spirits Continent could one be completely safe.

Gu An closed the book, shut his eyes, and said slowly, "One person finishes their act and another takes the stage; the most influential figures in the world take turns, but who can truly see how deep the waters of this world are?"

"Heavenly Spirit God, I look forward to fighting you."

His voice only echoed inside the room; he was talking to himself.

……

Nestled among the mountains, Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai stood on a hillside, gazing at the magnificent scenery before them, remaining silent for a long time.

Following their gaze, a huge ravine appeared in the mountains ahead, stretching to the horizon. The mountains on both sides were also pierced through, as if a dragon comparable to the mountain range had crushed through them, leaving behind this desolate scene.

Anxin descended from the sky, playing with the Fate-Determining Brush in one hand, and laughed, "This is nothing more than a celestial being ascending to heaven."

Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai had been in the Nine Spirits Continent for several months. Today, the mastermind behind their pursuit finally arrived. After some negotiation, An Xin, unable to tolerate their arrogance, chose to eliminate them.

Tang Cai opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. The peerless powerhouse who had driven her to despair had died just like that.

Li Xuanyu looked at the Fate-Determining Brush with a complicated expression.

Gu An's current cultivation level is at least higher than the Heaven and Earth Immortal Realm?

She couldn't understand.

She felt that she had encountered many extraordinary events, and in her mind, only Li Ya's growth rate was faster than hers. In fact, she always felt that she was no less than anyone else.

But what she saw today overturned her perception.

She felt that it was impossible for someone of her generation to possess such power. Let alone killing a flying immortal, even killing a wandering immortal would be unbelievable.

Looking at them with a smile, Anxin said, "Stay in the Nine Spirits Continent. It will change your lives. I won't be staying with you anymore."

After saying that, she turned and left, but after taking a few steps, she stopped again.

"I remind you again, staying here will be the greatest opportunity of your lives. If you insist on leaving, you will regret it for the rest of your lives."

Anxin leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.

Tang Cai couldn't help but look at Li Xuanyu and asked, "What should we do? Listen to her?"

Looking in the direction An Xin had left, Li Xuanyu asked, "Do you want to have her level of cultivation, to stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Ya in the future, instead of forever chasing after him?"

Tang Cai was stunned by these words.
