Chapter 73: The Reincarnation of a Powerful Being, The Fame of Gu An [Seventh Update]

When Elder Tian mentioned Lu Xian, it sparked curiosity among the disciples, who eagerly sought to know more about this top genius.

Li Ya also quietly noted the name, determined to defeat Lu Xian at the Hundred Races Assembly and prove his own talent.

That night, the Third Medicine Valley buzzed with activity, and even Elder Tian became more talkative, laughing from time to time.

As dawn broke, Li Ya bid farewell to Gu An.

"I'm off. Wait for me to make a name for myself!"

Watching Li Ya's departing figure, Gu An felt a twinge of envy. Li Ya always seemed so full of vigor and fighting spirit, while Gu An tended to overthink and hesitate.

However, when he recalled Li Ya's injured state, a smirk tugged at his lips.

He could admire Li Ya, but he wouldn't want to emulate him.

After Li Ya's departure, the disciples of the Third Medicine Valley continued their labor. With their expanded territory, they needed to patrol daily.

Gu An returned to Xuan Valley and, after inspecting the various gardens, made his way toward Tianya Valley.

Along the way, he found a secluded spot and quietly invested five years of his lifespan into his cultivation before continuing on his journey.

Upon arriving at Tianya Valley, Gu An entered through the valley mouth and saw Yi Liuyun and Lu Xian engaged in a sparring match.

Lu Xian wore a red robe, his long hair flowing. At first glance, one might mistake him for a woman. He held a gourd-shaped fan and effortlessly countered Yi Liuyun's sword techniques. The two of them maneuvered in the air, their skills evenly matched.

Yi Liuyun had suppressed his cultivation; otherwise, Lu Xian wouldn't have been his match.

Gu An couldn't help but send another lifespan probe toward Lu Xian.

Lu Xian (Golden Core Realm, First Layer): 75/480/4900

Reaching the Golden Core at the age of thirty, but no further progress in cultivation for the next forty-five years?

If not for the 4,900-year lifespan limit, Gu An would have found it hard to believe that Lu Xian was the top genius of Tai Xuan Gate.

Aside from Ji Xiaoyu, who possessed the Innate Daoist Talisman, a 4,900-year lifespan limit was the most exceptional human talent Gu An had ever encountered.

Lu Xian didn't appear to be injured, so perhaps, like Wu Xin, he had cultivated some kind of extraordinary art?

Sun Da, Sun Er, and Sun San rushed towards Gu An excitedly, as he always brought them delicious treats.

Although they were demons captured by Luo Hun, Gu An didn't look down on them, and as a result, they had a good relationship.

"These are fifth-grade spirit fruits. You can only have one each, don't fight over them."

Gu An took out three watermelon-sized red fruits and placed them on the ground, letting the three monkey demons choose for themselves.

He then walked towards a garden, as today was another harvest day.

With his expanding medicine valley, he now had harvesting tasks every day, and he was relishing his current life.

After he finished harvesting, Yi Liuyun and Lu Xian also concluded their sparring session and landed on the ground. Yi Liuyun began to evaluate Lu Xian's performance, and Lu Xian responded modestly.

"Senior Yi, when will you face the tribulation? I'm looking forward to you challenging the Sword Venerable of Supporting Dao." Lu Xian asked eagerly, his tone serious as if he truly believed Yi Liuyun could defeat the Sword Venerable.

Yi Liuyun hesitated, "At most, half a year. When the time comes, I'll go to the Tribulation Valley of Tai Xuan Gate to face the tribulation. As for challenging the Sword Venerable, let's see."

Ever since his visit to Butian Terrace, he had abandoned the idea of competing with the Sword Venerable.

The gap between them was just too vast.

Facing such sword intent, he couldn't muster the slightest fighting spirit.

Lu Xian raised his eyebrows, and on his delicate face, which had a hint of femininity, a look of anticipation appeared. He continued to persuade Yi Liuyun, "Just give it a try. What if you win? Once you reach the Void Crossing Realm, your sword intent will naturally transform, and you might have a chance. Moreover, as the first person to challenge the Sword Venerable, even if you lose, you will shock the world."

Gu An, who was passing by, felt a strong urge to retort.

Lu Xian was truly delusional. Ever since he arrived at Tianya Valley, he had been urging Luo Hun to challenge Tai Xuan Gate's top spear cultivator and the three monkey demons to take on the nearby third-rank demons.

And it wasn't just on occasion; whenever he saw someone, he would start persuading them.

If this fellow was truly so combative, how come Li Ya hadn't heard of his name?

"I'll think about it," Yi Liuyun frowned.

Lu Xian spotted Gu An and immediately walked over, enthusiastically throwing an arm around Gu An's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Valley Master, I have a feeling you're not simple either. Why don't you aim for the position of National Teacher? I can teach you magic. Whatever you want to learn, just say the word."

Gu An replied, "I've said it many times. I don't want to strive for anything. I just want to plant flowers and grass."

"How is that possible? As long as one is human, there are things one wants to strive for."

"Then what do you want to strive for?"

"Naturally, to be the best in the world."

"Then why don't you spend the time you use to persuade others on cultivation instead?"

"I don't need to cultivate. Sooner or later, I'll be invincible."

"Then you're amazing."

What a braggart!

Daring to claim invincibility in front of me?

Gu An suddenly had an idea and said with a smile, "I heard you plan to participate in the Hundred Races Assembly. If you can win the top spot, I'll learn your magic."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"I didn't want to participate originally, but since you say so, wait for me. I'll set off tomorrow."

After Lu Xian finished speaking, he walked towards his house.

Gu An watched his departing figure, truly unable to understand this person.

Yi Liuyun walked over and transmitted his voice, "Don't provoke him too much. Since he entered the Golden Core, he easily falls into a dreamlike state when cultivating. Sometimes he dreams that he's an emperor, sometimes a sword emperor dominating the world, and sometimes even a demon emperor. In his own words, he can reach the peak of the human world in every life."

What kind of illness is this?

Could he be the reincarnation of a powerful being?

Gu An suddenly became cautious of Lu Xian. He didn't fear ten thousand possibilities, but he feared that one possibility was true. This person might indeed have a formidable background.

The next morning, before Gu An left, Lu Xian departed first, making Gu An even more eager for the Hundred Races Assembly.

The Hidden Dragon Ranking was a competition among geniuses under a hundred years old, and he wondered who among Zhou Tongyou, Ji Xiaoyu, Li Ya, and Lu Xian would emerge as the top dog.

Before Lu Xian returned, Gu An decided to raise his cultivation to the ninth layer of the Combined Realm.

Competing secretly with these geniuses in terms of growth rate!

...

By the time Gu An returned to Xuan Valley, it was already noon. He sensed a familiar presence in his attic.

Along the way, he greeted Wu Xin and then headed upstairs.

Upon entering the room, Gu An saw Ye Lan sitting at his desk, holding a book.

Damn!

Gu An closed the door and walked over to the desk, taking the book from her hands. He said sternly, "A lady shouldn't be reading this kind of book."

Ever since the outer sect's calamity, Ye Lan rarely visited him, spending most of her time training outside. Now, she had been promoted to an executive position in the Enforcement Hall, holding a certain amount of power and influence.

Ye Lan looked at Gu An and smiled. "I heard from Zhen Qin that you often read this book, 'The Legend of Qing Xia.' I wanted to see what type of books you enjoy."

"I don't know about the 'Tai Xuan Secret Record,' but don't listen to Zhen Qin's nonsense. It's a slanderous accusation. The Legend of Qing Xia was left by my master, and I neither read it nor destroyed it. I kept it as a memento."

"Is that so?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"Hmph."

Ye Lan took out a book from her storage bag and placed it on the table.

Gu An glanced at it, and his eyelids twitched.

The Tai Xuan Secret Record!

Damn, how did this book become so popular?

Ye Lan looked at Gu An and said in a soft voice, "Senior Brother, earlier, I saw that the protagonist of this book is named Gu An, and I thought it was just a coincidence. But now, after reading The Legend of Qing Xia, I don't think it's a coincidence anymore. Come clean, did you write the Tai Xuan Secret Record?"

"How is that possible? I don't write books! I only love planting flowers and grasses!"

"Hehe, do you think I'll believe you now? Senior Brother, I'm not blaming you, but if you want to read books, why not choose the Investiture of the Gods or the Tale of the Tai Xuan Immortal Sovereign? They are far better than this type of trashy book that corrupts one's Dao heart."

"I really didn't write it..."

Gu An felt so wronged. All this was Shen Zhen's fault! Ye Lan suddenly stood up, scaring him into taking a step back. She walked around the table and stood in front of him, raising her right hand.

Is she going to hit me?

Gu An felt a headache coming on.

Fortunately, Ye Lan didn't intend to strike him. Instead, she helped him smooth out his robe. Lowering her head slightly, she said softly, "Senior Brother, if you truly like this kind of thing... I can try to find a... way to satisfy you. I can accompany you..."

Gu An noticed that her ears were reddening.

He quickly backed away, freeing himself from her hand, and said seriously, "Junior Sister, don't joke around. If you continue, I will..."

Ye Lan lifted her eyes to look at him, and a peal of laughter escaped her lips as she covered her mouth.

"Look at you, acting as if I'm some kind of monster. Alright, I won't joke around anymore. The reason I came to find you is actually about another matter concerning your disciple, Su Han." Ye Lan composed herself and spoke with a serious expression.

Gu An frowned and asked, "What happened to him?"

"Do you know about his family's inherited sword technique, the 'Hatred God Sword'?"

"I have some impression of it. Is there a problem with that sword technique?"

"Yes. That's not his family's inherited technique but a forbidden sword art of the Jianzong Sect of the Great Yu Imperial Court. It must not be passed on externally. Su Han often used the Hatred God Sword when he was out training, killing too many enemies, and eventually, someone recognized this sword art. The impact of this matter is quite significant. I heard that Jianzong is already preparing to come and arrest Su Han."

"That's terrible!"

Gu An was moved. Even Su Han's talent could stir up trouble worthy of a novel protagonist?

Ye Lan nodded. "I've already taken Su Han under the protection of the Enforcement Hall. However, if Jianzong arrives, the Enforcement Hall won't be able to protect him for long, considering they are also a major sect. Tai Xuan Gate won't offend Jianzong over an outer sect disciple."

Gu An thought for a moment and said, "I'll think of something."

Ye Lan comforted him, "If you feel it's too much trouble, then forget about it. You can't protect him forever, anyway. The reason I told you this is because I'm not sure how important he is to you, and I didn't want you to have any regrets later."

Gu An nodded, then praised Ye Lan for her thorough consideration.

Ye Lan didn't stay long. After she left, Gu An transmitted himself to the Third Medicine Valley and then visited Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen had tarnished his reputation, and he needed her help to fix it.

Since Shen Zhen had invited him to her cave abode before, he knew how to find it.

After a stick of incense's time, Gu An entered Shen Zhen's cave abode.

"It's rare for you to take the initiative to look for me. What brings you here?" Shen Zhen smiled. Without her veil, her stunning beauty was revealed, enchanting and sweet.

She held a brush pen in her hand, and Gu An's eyes were drawn to the walls, which were covered in paper.

This rascal...

Was she drawing a diagram?

Gu An quickly averted his gaze and said, "My disciple has encountered some trouble regarding the Jianzong Sect of the Great Yu Imperial Court. Can you help?"

"Jianzong? No problem. They must give our Daotian Sect some face!" Shen Zhen replied confidently.

Gu An immediately recounted the situation.

Shen Zhen frowned and hesitated, "There seems to be a problem..."
