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

Chapter 587 Variables
Under the guidance of Master Su, Gu An and Xiao Lan successfully entered the Daoist Court and became true disciples of the Daoist Court. Xiao Lan was Master Su's personal disciple, and her treatment and status far exceeded those of Gu An.

Xiao Lan's first cave dwelling had a very large interior space, much like the Third Medicine Valley, which made Gu An marvel at the profound heritage of the Daoist Court.

It should be noted that although Xiao Lan is exceptionally talented, her cultivation level is not high enough, and there are over a million disciples in her cave who receive better treatment than her.

After moving into the cave, Xiao Lan couldn't hide her little thoughts anymore, but Gu An severely criticized her, telling her to cultivate properly and that immortality was the right path. This made her feel ashamed, and she stopped thinking about those things and began to cultivate seriously.

Gu An's stay was worthwhile; he began helping Xiao Lan plant medicinal herbs and manage her cave dwelling, allowing her to cultivate in peace.

When he had filled the entire cave with medicinal herbs and managed it in an orderly manner, Su Zhenren was very satisfied with his performance when she came to visit him.

Su Zhenren suddenly felt that Gu An still had many merits. Perhaps he had a positive influence on Xiao Lan, at least Xiao Lan could now focus on cultivation.

"You did a good job. Help her well; she will be the greatest opportunity on your path to immortality."

After saying these words, Master Su left, and Gu An suddenly felt as if he were doing his old job again.

He shook his head and chuckled, not caring. Helping Xiao Lan was something he did willingly, and he could also take away her lifespan along the way.

Xiao Lan, who cultivates the Innate Reincarnation Technique, is prone to awakening her past life memories if she encounters any stimulation. However, in this life, she is living a smooth life and there are no signs of her regaining her memories for the time being.

Gu An wasn't in a hurry to restore her memories. The longer she lived in this life, the deeper her understanding of the Great Dao would become.

Of course, Gu Anke wouldn't stay in the cave with her all the time; he would occasionally switch to another clone while his main body went to do other things.

Cultivating immortality is a long process; the higher the realm, the longer the time required for seclusion.

A blink of an eye.

Another thousand years have passed, and Gu An's annual lifespan income has increased to forty million years in this year.

A thousand years have passed, and Xiao Lan has already reached the Nirvana Realm, and is making great strides toward the Loose Immortal Realm.

During this period, she returned to Xiao Manor twice, helping it transform into a family of cultivators. Unfortunately, the lifespan of the Xiao Manor Master was too short, and he passed away a few years ago.

On this day, Master Su sent a telepathic message to Xiao Lan, enabling Xiao Lan to find Gu An and take him away from the cave.

"There are tens of thousands of branches within the Dao Court, and the struggles are fierce. It is said that there will be an Enlightenment Conference soon, and disciples from other sects will also come. Master told us to go to Dao City to broaden our horizons."

As Xiao Lan rode the clouds, she smiled at Gu An.

Despite having achieved Nirvana Realm, she still exudes a lively spirit. Although she is already a thousand years old, she spends most of her time in seclusion cultivating. It seems as if she has only lived for a year, and she doesn't have many memories left behind.

“We definitely need to take a good look at that,” Gu An said with a smile.

His gaze had already set on that Dao City. Coincidentally, his descendant Long Teng was also in that Dao City, currently exchanging blows with someone.

Long Teng won ninety-seven consecutive matches within the same realm, all against geniuses from various sects, which made him famous throughout the city.

Besides Longteng, Wujue is also included.

Gu An had always kept an eye on this brother who would find enlightenment whenever he was heartbroken.

Long ago, Wu Jue went out to explore on his own and experienced many hardships, which led him to achieve enlightenment one after another. Because of this, he has never returned to Tai Xuan Sect.

Wu Jue and Long Teng were not acquainted, and Long Teng did not claim to be from the Tai Xuan Sect. At this moment, Wu Jue was watching the battle in the crowd, marveling at Long Teng's talent.

Dao City is very large, so Gu An is not worried about running into Wu Jue. As long as he doesn't want to see Wu Jue, Wu Jue will never encounter him.

Gu An now only wants to accompany Xiao Lan and help her grow.

Along the way, Xiao Lan kept talking. After discussing Dao City, she talked about her cultivation achievements and even wanted to teach her magic to Gu An.

Although the two studied under the same master, the lineage they received was different.

They chatted and laughed, and it took them about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before they arrived in Dao City. Gu An then prepared to relax and accompany Xiao Lan on a leisurely stroll.

Xiao Lan also cherished the rare time to play. She held onto Gu An's arm the whole time and refused to let go, making people think that they were a couple.

……

In the courtyard of Wushi Daoshan, within the grounds of Gu An.

Tian Yao'er came to Shen Zhen's side and watched her manipulate the Taiqing True Fire under the refining cauldron. After watching for a while, she asked, "Miss Shen, don't you feel that Master's mind is elsewhere?"

Shen Zhen replied, "He's definitely outside. He's probably been captivated by some woman." Since Gu An didn't need to leave a clone to disguise himself among the disciples in the dojo, everyone could sense his frequent outings.

Upon hearing this, Tian Yao'er's eyes widened, and she asked, "If that's the case, aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about? We've followed him for so long, be content. Do you expect us to restrict him? Let alone whether we have the power, even if we do, what gives us the right?"

Shen Zhen said casually, his gaze fixed on the Taiqing True Fire.

Tian Yao'er pouted and said, "Of course I wouldn't dare to interfere with my master, I was just curious."

Shen Zhen laughed and said, "I guess it's the reincarnation of some old friend, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much time accompanying him."

An old friend?

Tian Yao'er became interested and asked which old friend it was.

Shen Zhen glanced at her and said with a teasing smile, "There are probably only two people who can make him accompany them like this: one is the third young lady of the Ji family, and the other is his junior sister. I guess it's most likely his junior sister."

She began to tell the story of Gu An and Ye Lan, and Tian Yao'er listened attentively.

Gu An and Ye Lan's story is very ordinary, but Tian Yao'er felt a sense of warmth listening to it.

She had heard countless poignant love stories, but after hearing this one, she suddenly realized that the person the master loved most in his heart might be this Miss Ye.

The fact that the master, who is so powerful and invincible, chooses to live in seclusion in the mountains is enough to prove his character.

Sudden.

"Talking about me behind my back?"

Gu An's voice interrupted the two women's conversation, startling them into turning around to see Gu An standing behind them.

Tian Yao'er blushed with embarrassment, while Shen Zhen remained unfazed.

Gu An walked through them and came to the refining cauldron. He probed the cauldron with his divine sense.

The Dao treasure inside was crafted by him for Xiao Lan, and it's almost finished.

After reaching the Great Luo Immortal realm, Gu An was able to refine Dao treasures at an even faster and stronger speed. He planned to give Xiao Lan a great gift to make her path to becoming a prodigy easier.

Tian Yao'er moved closer to Gu An and asked curiously, "Master, is Miss Ye really reincarnated?"

"Yes, Shen Zhen guessed correctly."

Gu An replied, and then briefly recounted Ye Lan's cycle of reincarnation over the years.

Hearing that Ye Lan had survived more than ten reincarnations and still did not forget Gu An, even Shen Zhen was moved.

Tian Yao'er was so moved that her eyes reddened, and she expressed her desire to meet Xiao Lan.

"Focus on your training, lest she surpass you," Gu An teased, not in agreement.

Tian Yao'er laughed smugly, "I am a wandering immortal. It won't be so easy for her to catch up with me."

Shen Zhen asked curiously, "Is she very talented in this life?"

"Very high."

Gu An's answer made Tian Yao'er feel a sense of urgency, so she didn't stay any longer and quickly went back to cultivate.

Shen Zhen didn't disturb Gu An's treasure refining any further. Xiao Lan couldn't put any pressure on her. Compared to blindly pursuing cultivation, she preferred to comprehend the Dao, and the true meaning of the Great Dao brought her joy.

Refining Dao Treasures is very simple for Gu An now, requiring no full concentration. He is currently focused on another person, someone far away in another Great Thousand World.

Zhang Bukui!
He has been sent by the Buddha and Immortals to the Great World of Taize to find the Lord of the Divine Realm. The two have reunited, but they have encountered difficulties in the Great World of Taize.

This predicament will severely injure both of them, but they will eventually escape, so Gu An does not intend to intervene.

Knowing the future, the reason he continued to pay attention was because a variable had emerged in this struggle.

Before this, this person was not in Zhang Bukui's destiny, but now, this person will appear frequently in Zhang Bukui's future life, and the two will even establish an extremely close relationship.
