Chapter 36: The Profound Yellow Dragon Vitality Technique, Comprehending Divine Power
After Li Yali left, Gu An devoted himself to the development of Xuangu Valley, and his free time began to diminish as those young goat demons were quite a handful.
When they were four months old, they ran through the mountains and forests with ease, as agile as cheetahs from Earth in their previous lives. If it weren't for the fact that the valley was full of cultivators, they would have run wild long ago.
Gu An had no choice but to delve into the Purple Micro Array left by Jiang Rong to learn some low-level prohibitions to seal off the goat pens.
When the six-month period was up, Gu An asked Wuxin to take Xiaochuan and recruit two more menial disciples from the outer door, named Chen Hong and Zhen Xiao'er. Their talents were mediocre, which pleased him.
With the addition of these new disciples, the number of menial disciples in Xuangu Valley reached ten, and every day was bustling with activity.
Time flew by, passing like a white horse through a gap, never to return.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
It was autumn again.
Xiaochuan was inspecting the various parks, with rows of ducks following him, a grand and majestic sight.
Disciples could be seen meditating and absorbing qi on the mountaintops surrounding Yaogu, while the mountains and forests rustled with the sounds of Tang Yu and Su Han chasing the goat demons.
Gu An emerged from the western forest with a smile on his face.
He had just harvested another batch of medicinal herbs, gaining several hundred years of lifespan. He was getting closer and closer to his goal of a ten-million-year lifespan.
His current lifespan had already reached eight million years.
In the past three years, he had earned nearly five million years of lifespan, mainly due to the maturation of the medicinal herbs he had cultivated over the years. One million years of this lifespan was earned by helping the outer disciples manage their cave residences.
The petite Zhen Qin rushed out of the woods with a bamboo basket on her back. She hurried to Gu An's side and asked, "Master, can you teach me how to refine pills today?"
There was still a withered leaf on her head, and the hair on both sides of her cheeks was slightly messy.
Gu An laughed and said, "Of course, but you have to use your own medicinal herbs. That way, you'll be more cautious."
Zhen Qin had once heard Gu An mention that he had taken the Beauty Retention Pill, and she immediately became interested in the art of pill refining. She had been pestering him ever since, and it had been half a year already.
"I've been ready for a long time!" Zhen Qin exclaimed excitedly, bouncing up and down beside Gu An like an eternal young girl.
Whoosh!
A sound of breaking through the air passed over Xuangu Valley, and Gu An looked up, instinctively expending a year of lifespan to probe.
It was another Nascent Soul realm cultivator!
This year, more than ten Nascent Soul realm cultivators had passed by Xuangu Valley, which made Gu An feel uneasy. He felt that something big was about to happen.
Even the Heavenly External Sect Assembly back then hadn't attracted so many Nascent Soul realm cultivators.
This won't do!
Gu An made a silent decision. "I need to improve my Dragon Vein Divine Power. What if a cultivator far beyond the Nascent Soul realm appears and sees through my cultivation?"
Over the years, the Dragon Vein Divine Power had provided less and less increase to his lifespan, and now it was impressive if it could add a year of lifespan in six months. He estimated that in another ten years, this technique would no longer be able to extend his lifespan.
Subsequently, Gu An took Zhen Qin back to his loft and began teaching her the art of pill refining.
It wasn't until late at night that Gu An quietly made his way to the Eight Scenery Cave Heaven.
Ever since Jiang Rong left, Gu An had explored the other six cave paths and found that the ends of the cave paths all had corpses like Meng Lang's, refined by Cheng Xuandan and Jiang Rong using different insect techniques of the Myriad Gu Xuan Gong.
For these insect corpses, Gu An had no intention of dealing with them for the time being.
He made his way to the vine tree and sat down cross-legged, his hands holding up his robe.
At this moment, a black shadow dropped from the tree and burrowed into his embrace.
It was a small black dragon!
Its body was slender and about two feet long, with a pair of dragon horns and dragon whiskers by its mouth. Its body was covered in fine black dragon scales, and its four claws were sharp. It resembled the dragons of ancient Chinese legends, except for its color.
This was the sacred beast of the Guhao Sect, the Hao Dragon!
Gu An stroked it while checking its lifespan.
【Hao Dragon (First Stage): 1/965/18000】
Its lifespan had increased again! When the Hao Dragon was first born, it only had a lifespan of 500 years. Now, just one year later, its lifespan had almost doubled.
As expected of a demon beast with a nine-stage potential!
Gu An recalled the process of the Hao Dragon recognizing him as its master last year and couldn't help but smile.
The newly born Hao Dragon had bitten him, angering him so much that he threw it away. Then, it pitifully rubbed against him.
Gu An felt that the Hao Dragon wasn't so much recognizing a master as it was recognizing a relative through blood.
They had established a kind of soul resonance, and he could understand its thoughts, but he couldn't directly control its life and death.
The fact that the Hao Dragon only served one master in its lifetime showed that despite its violent nature, it was extremely loyal and righteous.
"Good boy, go and eat now."
Gu An took out a demon sheep that he had killed from his storage bag. This was a fresh kill from yesterday morning, which had only given him three years of lifespan.
The Hao Dragon's eyes lit up, and it immediately grabbed the demon sheep's corpse and flew to the side.
The demon sheep's corpse was several times larger than the Hao Dragon, but it held it with its dragon claws as if the sheep weighed nothing at all.
Gu An brought up the attribute panel and looked at the techniques section, investing two thousand years of lifespan into the Dragon Vein Divine Power.
The Dragon Vein Divine Power was crucial for hiding his cultivation and aura, and he considered it the foundation of his cultivation. He even felt that this technique was more important than the Divine Yang Technique.
【You have invested two thousand years of lifespan into the Dragon Vein Divine Power for evolution and cultivation】
【You have cultivated the Dragon Vein Divine Power for ten years, tempering your physical body with the essence of heaven and earth, enhancing your flesh and blood】
【Gu An cultivated the Dragon Vein Divine Power for a hundred years, tempering his body with the essence of heaven and earth, enhancing his flesh and blood.】
【Gu An cultivated the Dragon Vein Divine Power for two hundred years, and his Dragon Vein Divine Power reached the pinnacle.】
【Gu An cultivated the Dragon Vein Divine Power for four hundred years. On this day, he captured the true meaning of the earth, and his Dragon Vein Divine Power returned to its origins and was promoted to the Earth Vein Imperial Qi Technique.】
......
【Gu An has cultivated the Dragon Vein Divine Power for one thousand five hundred years. You sense the aura of the rules of the earth, your Earth Vein Imperial Qi Technique breaks through the limit and is promoted to the Profound Yellow Dragon Vitality Technique.】
【Gu An cultivated the Dragon Vein Divine Power for one thousand eight hundred years. Your understanding of the Profound Yellow Dragon Vitality Technique improved, and you comprehended it thoroughly.】
【Gu An cultivated the Dragon Vein Divine Power for two thousand years. Your understanding of the Profound Yellow Dragon Vitality Technique reached its pinnacle, and you comprehended the divine ability - Profound Yellow Dragon Might.】
Line after line of prompts appeared before Gu An's eyes.
The Dragon Vein Divine Power was promoted to the Earth Vein Imperial Qi Technique and then to the Profound Yellow Dragon Vitality Technique!
It even awakened a divine ability!
Gu An was overjoyed, feeling that his luck had taken a turn for the better.
A vast amount of memory quickly surged into his mind, immersing him in a sea of profound Daoist information.
The Hao Dragon, which was munching on the sheep meat, turned its head, its gem-like eyes reflecting a curious gleam.
The grass beneath Gu An's feet began to stir, tendrils of green mist coiling around him as he sat there with his eyes closed, unconsciously inhaling and exhaling, a faint dragon's roar sounding in the air.
The Profound Yellow Dragon Vitality Technique, by tempering the physical body with the profound yellow qi of the earth, could merge one's physical body with the natural world. The so-called dragon's roar was actually the sound of the earth's roar.
A full two hours passed before Gu An finally woke up.
As he opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.
He saw that the flowers and plants around him had all withered, and he quickly got up to survey the spirit herbs in the Eight Scenery Cave Heaven. After a quick scan, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only the weeds had withered; the spirit flowers and herbs were not significantly affected.
I can't be so reckless in the future!
Whether it's upgrading my cultivation technique or breaking through, I must leave the Eight Scenery Cave Heaven to avoid draining all the spiritual energy here.
Gu An sat down again and began to review the Profound Yellow Dragon Vitality Technique, practicing it according to the method.
Condense a mouthful of Profound Yellow Dragon Qi, and merge your physical body with nature!
The Hao Dragon had finished eating and was now sleeping next to the sheep's corpse, leaving only the sound of the wind in the Eight Scenery Cave Heaven.
......
At the break of dawn,
Gu An descended from the loft, donning a set of green robes. His black hair was casually tied behind his head, with two strands of hair hanging by his ears, exuding the ethereal and transcendent air of a cultivator.
His body had not yet fully adapted to the Profound Yellow Dragon Vitality Technique, but he was not in a hurry. With nightly practice, it would take at most a month for him to cultivate a mouthful of Profound Yellow Dragon Qi.
As for the divine ability that came with the Profound Yellow Dragon Vitality Technique, the Profound Yellow Dragon Might, he did not need to cultivate it separately. When the Profound Yellow Dragon Qi was born, the Dragon Might would naturally form.
The so-called Dragon Might was actually the might of heaven and earth, capable of awe-inspiring all living beings.
Gu An began to call the disciples to practice their morning exercises. When everyone had gathered, and the practice began, they could all sense that their master was in a good mood today.
Zhen Qin curiously asked her master what had made him so happy.
"It's nothing," Gu An replied with a smile as he went through the motions. "I just read a book last night called 'The Investiture of the Gods'. You can borrow it from the library pavilion if you're interested."
Xiaochuan's eyes lit up. "I know about 'The Investiture of the Gods'. Almost everyone in the outer sect has a copy. It's said to record the ancient secrets of the cultivation world."
The disciples were intrigued and began to ask Xiaochuan about the content of 'The Investiture of the Gods'.
Gu An did not interrupt and continued to ponder the Profound Yellow Dragon Vitality Technique.
Over the next month, he cultivated the Profound Yellow Dragon Vitality Technique every night and finally succeeded in cultivating a mouthful of Profound Yellow Dragon Qi in his abdomen, further enhancing his ability to conceal his cultivation and aura.
Gu An was relieved. Now he could continue his low-key lifestyle without worry.
This year passed just like the previous years, quietly and peacefully. For Gu An, a peaceful life was the best outcome.
As the winter snow began to melt, Xuan Valley welcomed the arrival of a new spring, and all the disciples were preparing for the Spring Festival.
Gu An sat under a tree, engrossed in reading 'The Legend of Green Knight'.
Zhen Qin suddenly approached, her hands behind her back, and asked with a slight bend, "Master, what would you like to eat tomorrow night? I'll make it for you."
Without shifting his gaze, Gu An replied, "Anything will do. Whatever you make, I will eat."
Intrigued, Zhen Qin leaned in to see what book he was reading, but he stopped her.
"Hurry up and go prepare the ingredients. If you delay the festival tomorrow night, I won't teach you pill refining!" Gu An pretended to be stern.
At this, Zhen Qin pouted and turned to leave.
Gu An faintly heard her muttering, "He's reading those improper books again."
His lips twitched involuntarily. Who had spread this rumor?
They were tarnishing his reputation!
Now, all the disciples in Medicine Valley knew that he liked to read 'The Legend of Green Knight', and although they didn't dare mention it in front of him, they often teased him about it behind his back.
Gu An stood up, tucking 'The Legend of Green Knight' into his chest.
That's it, I'm quitting today!
Gu An walked out of the courtyard, intending to inspect the parks. However, his attention was suddenly drawn to the valley entrance, and his brows furrowed.
He saw a man in white robes walking leisurely towards them. He looked to be in his thirties, with a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing.
What made Gu An frown was that he couldn't sense the man's aura at all.
He immediately used his lifespan to probe the man's cultivation.
