Chapter 313: Hu Xiaojian's Shock
Chapter 313: Hu Xiaojian's Shock
Gu An's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation, never expecting Lu Lingjun to be so self-aware.
Lu Lingjun noticed Gu An's expression and felt helpless. Was this guy too calm?
She glared at Gu An and said, "Don't you feel inspired after hearing about it?"
Gu An replied, "Inspired, of course. But over the years, I've heard of countless tales of immortals. At most, I'd take it as entertainment. How could I possibly dream of becoming a great hero?"
Lu Lingjun found his words a bit odd, but she didn't bother to argue. Instead, she continued sharing her experiences at Human World Peak.
Although Gu An was there at the time, seeing through Lu Lingjun's perspective allowed him to witness a different scene.
After chatting for more than an hour, Lu Lingjun expressed her desire to temporarily stay at Third Medicine Valley, and Gu An agreed.
Gu An stretched lazily and gazed out the window.
Tomorrow, he could go to Firm Sky Peak to gather medicinal herbs.
He had Zhu Xinglan establish a medicinal garden, and the first batch of herbs was already mature.
Regarding the medicinal garden at Firm Sky Peak, Gu An didn't intend to prohibit other disciples from harvesting. He wanted to avoid suspicion, as Human World Peak was already a top-tier sect in this era, closely connected to the Holy Court. He had to be cautious.
Moreover, Firm Sky Peak was vast, and even with the help of disciples, he could gather a substantial amount of medicinal herbs.
Thinking of this, anticipation shone in Gu An's eyes.
...
The following afternoon.
At Firm Sky Peak, Gu An walked along the mountain path to the summit, with Zhu Xinglan following behind, respectfully.
Zhu Xinglan now knew that Gu An was a peerless powerhouse surpassing the Freedom Primordial Immortal. Clinging to such a powerful figure was crucial, so he served with utmost dedication.
"I need a Traveling Immortal disciple to manage an island for me. Help me find one, and I won't mistreat them," Gu An said casually.
Today, he had gained over thirty million years of lifespan, which was quite impressive.
Zhu Xinglan immediately responded, "Master, if you're leaving today, I'll make the arrangements now."
"Go ahead."
With Gu An's approval, Zhu Xinglan vanished from the spot.
Gu An arrived in the courtyard and sat on a stool, gazing upwards.
Since his breakthrough, the universe beyond the heavens occasionally erupted in grand battles, and more Sky Earth Flying Immortals traveled between the worlds.
Gu An also caught a glimpse of the Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon's appearance was indistinguishable from other creatures, and there were many humans among them. The most distinctive feature of the Heavenly Demon was its demonic energy, which differed from the demons and demonic creatures within the Heavenly Spirit Great World. Their demonic energy was more sinister, evoking an instinctive resistance in others.
At that moment, two Sky Earth Flying Immortals were battling at the edge of the Annihilation Domain, vying for a treasure, while the Freedom Primordial Immortal secretly observed.
Half a stick of incense later,
Zhu Xinglan returned, bringing someone with him.
【Xun Hanfeng (Traveling Immortal Realm Layer 4): 89034/140000/280000】
Gu An appraised Xun Hanfeng, who wore a black robe and had a slightly sinister appearance. His hair was disheveled, giving off an air of deep scheming.
Feeling Gu An's gaze, Xun Hanfeng lowered his head, not daring to meet his eyes.
Xun Hanfeng was nervous because he had also heard about the incredible strength and domineering nature of his new master. He didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Xun Hanfeng greets the master!" Xun Hanfeng bowed respectfully.
Zhu Xinglan introduced Xun Hanfeng's background, mentioning that he had been born at Human World Peak and had an excellent relationship with him.
"Then let's go."
Gu An stood up and waved his sleeves, whisking Xun Hanfeng away.
Zhu Xinglan was stunned, marveling at his master's extraordinary abilities.
Many privately discussed the strength of the Firm Sky Peak's peak master, and Zhu Xinglan obtained crucial intelligence: the Eternal Year Daoist, the summit master of Human World Peak, believed that the Firm Sky Peak master's cultivation surpassed his own.
This assessment left him with boundless imagination.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Gu An brought Xun Hanfeng to Xunxian Island.
As they landed, Xun Hanfeng stumbled, almost falling. Fortunately, Gu An caught his arm in time.
"Are you alright?" Gu An asked.
Xun Hanfeng's face turned red, and he quickly replied, "I'm fine, Master. Please don't laugh at me."
Gu An nodded and walked towards the building ahead, with Xun Hanfeng hurrying to catch up.
Gu An began introducing the situation on Xunxian Island, and Xun Hanfeng listened attentively. Upon learning about the island's strength, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The mere presence of a Traveling Immortal was awe-inspiring.
"You and this island share the same surname, Xun. Quite a coincidence," Gu An smiled, and Xun Hanfeng could only force a smile, without a hint of dissatisfaction.
Soon, Hu Xiaojian and a group of elders from the Sea Guard Mansion arrived, and Gu An asked Xun Hanfeng to introduce himself.
"My name is Xun Hanfeng. I hope to work well with all of you in the future," Xun Hanfeng said, and then he displayed the aura of a Traveling Immortal, causing everyone in the hall to breathe rapidly.
Over the years, they had doubted whether Gu An was boasting, but now that they had truly witnessed a Traveling Immortal, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Hu Xiaojian was the most excited, his eyes filled with admiration for Gu An.
"Alright, from now on, Xun Hanfeng will oversee Xunxian Island. You all can chat with him."
Gu An left after saying this.
Everyone turned to Xun Hanfeng, feeling tense because he seemed unapproachable.
After Gu An's departure, Xun Hanfeng sat down, exuding a domineering posture, unlike his earlier nervous demeanor.
A loose immortal cautiously asked, "May I dare to inquire, is the Island Master also from the Human World Peak?"
The reputation of the Human World Peak was still significant, even if they didn't understand, they had heard of it before.
Xun Hanfeng replied, "That's natural."
Everyone smiled, indicating that Xun Hanfeng had a good relationship with the Island Master and was not an outsider.
"The Island Master is my master. You can rest assured that we will manage the Xunxian Island together. This is the most important thing, and we must not disappoint him. Moreover, I can tell you that his cultivation is extremely high, surpassing all the beings you've ever heard of. Serving him is the greatest blessing in your lives."
Xun Hanfeng's words astonished everyone.
Hu Xiaojian was even more stunned.
Such a formidable background for the senior?
Isn't he a loose immortal?
Wait, wasn't it him who said he was a loose immortal...
Hu Xiaojian was overwhelmed by the surprise, his mind buzzing, and he didn't quite catch the subsequent conversations among the elders.
Xun Hanfeng noticed his absent-mindedness but didn't mind, as Gu An had instructed him to take good care of this young fellow.
...
Seasons changed, and another year passed.
After the New Year, Gu An arrived at the Taixuan Sect's branch.
This was Gu An's first visit to the branch, and he had traveled through the teleportation array within the main city of the Taixuan Sect. The sect's strength had been growing each year, and its connection with the branch had become closer.
Gu An observed the branch city, sensing the abundant spiritual energy, feeling that it almost rivaled the main city of the Taixuan Sect's headquarters. No wonder so many disciples wanted to come here.
Not only was the spiritual energy plentiful, but disciples could also venture out at any time to train, hunt demons, and seek heavenly treasures.
The Taicang Dynasty had yet to occupy the entire continent, and the same was true for cultivation sects. They had not yet explored every mountain and river across the land.
Gu An wasn't in a hurry to find Ye Lan and started wandering around.
As he strolled, he encountered an acquaintance, a drinking buddy he had made in the outer city. They chatted for a good while.
Walking down the next street, he met another disciple from the Third Medicine Valley who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
This was the accumulation of 227 years of life.
Gu An chatted happily with his old friends, not distancing himself from them.
Within the next hour, he met two more acquaintances, indicating that the branch had become the top choice for many mediocre disciples. They all wanted to come to the demon-infested lands to seek opportunities.
Gu An sighed slightly, but he wouldn't interfere in others' lives unless he cared deeply about them.
For example, his junior sister, Ye Lan.
When Gu An arrived at Ye Lan's mansion, she appeared out of thin air in front of him, exclaiming, "Senior Brother, how did you come here?"
As she spoke, she rushed over to hug Gu An.
"In public, mind your manners!" Gu An quickly raised his hand to stop her.
Ye Lan had to stop and then led him into the mansion, introducing the current situation of the branch as they walked.
Within the mansion, there were many female disciples who served as her attendants. When they saw Ye Lan holding Gu An's arm, they all looked at them with curiosity.
After they walked away, Gu An heard the young ladies start gossiping about them.
Finally, Ye Lan led Gu An into her house and closed the door.
They sat down and chatted, and after Ye Lan finished sharing her experiences, she asked Gu An about his life over the years.
Gu An began to talk about his life, which was quite ordinary, but Ye Lan maintained a smile on her face.
Back then, when they were in their twenties, who would have thought that two hundred years later, they would still be sitting together chatting.
Gradually, Ye Lan's thoughts wandered, and she fell into a peculiar state.
This was because Gu An was guiding her to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth, a method beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators. Even facing Gu An, Ye Lan didn't notice any clues.
Ye Lan seemed to be in a dream, her eyes distant.
Gu An stood up, carried her to the bed, and guided her in cultivation.
Then, he retreated and sat down at the table, watching her cultivate.
He watched Ye Lan cultivate, his heart filled with anticipation.
If he could help Ye Lan extend her limit lifespan, he would arrange for her to cultivate at the Human World Peak.
If he couldn't, and Ye Lan went to the Human World Peak with only a few hundred years of limit lifespan, it would only add to her troubles.
Once people broaden their horizons, they easily develop more expectations, leading to anxiety.
Even Divine Mind True Immortals with their formidable divine consciousness couldn't achieve immortality. There seemed to be an unseen force suppressing all living beings.
What exactly was it? Gu An was also curious.
Time passed quickly.
Gu An suddenly felt bored, and he had another idea.
Why not try another Reincarnation Evolution? This time, he wouldn't choose the Dark Great Universe, but see how long he could survive. If he could live for a thousand or ten thousand years and learn powerful abilities, it might increase his chances of successfully transcending tribulations.
Moreover, the Reincarnation Evolution's inheritance would aid his Daoheart Cultivation.
Gu An felt that perhaps upon reaching a certain realm, one had to undergo reincarnation cultivation; otherwise, he wouldn't have unlocked this function.
So, let's give it a try!
Just one time, no greed!
After all, it would consume a hundred million years of lifespan; he couldn't even think of playing more!
Gu An looked at Ye Lan and secretly thought, "Junior Sister, please bless me with a good rebirth!"
