Steadily Becoming A Saint, The Immortal Officials Hired Me To Tend The Horses
/ Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses Chapter 94 – Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Million
Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Million-Year Life Span, Five Elements Treasure Body!
The Crown Prince, Li Dai, visited Gu An again just seven days after his last visit. This time, he brought many medicinal herb seeds, clearly putting in a lot of effort.
Although Gu An did not know why he was being so generous, he appreciated and accepted the gift, even inviting Li Dai for a drink. The atmosphere of their conversation was more pleasant than before.
Until he left, Li Dai did not attempt to recruit him, as if he truly wanted just to befriend him.
But after Li Dai left, the way Yang Ni looked at him changed.
“It's the first time I've seen him so attentive to someone,” Yang Ni said in a complicated tone.
Gu An laughed and said, “Who could blame him? I treat people kindly.”
He wasn't foolish; he guessed it might be because of Lv Baitian, but he wasn't sure what exactly had happened.
Li Dai came to the Supreme Sect looking for support, and he definitely wouldn't go to look for the noble families, especially excluding the Ji Family.
Aside from that, only Lv Baitian had such significant influence.
Yang Ni also guessed that there was a bigger supporter behind Gu An since even Li Xuandao could not make the Crown Prince so attentive.
She was very curious about who Gu An really was.
“It's best not to tell His Majesty about this. You've been with me for so many years; you should understand my character. I don't seek disputes, nor do I want to be suspected by others,” Gu An said to Yang Ni seriously.
Yang Ni nodded and quipped, “It seems that Li Ya is not your blessing, but rather you are Li Ya's blessing. Indeed, with your diligence in planting and cultivating so many medicinal herbs, and not fighting for power, if I were one of the Supreme Sect seniors, I would also favor you.”
Gu An took out the storage bag given by the Crown Prince, drew out a hundred seeds, and handed them to Yang Ni, saying, “These are all fifth-tier seeds. Cultivate them carefully, and if you do well, you can have one-tenth after they mature. I will give you more seeds in the future.”
Yang Ni received the medicinal herb seeds with a look of joy and immediately agreed to this task.
Gu An looked at her, feeling very gratified.
In the Third Medicine Valley, there were many people, but the only one who genuinely liked planting flowers and herbs was Yang Ni. Xiaochuan preferred raising demon beasts, and the other disciples were cultivating immortality, having no choice but to work.
Gu An began to have higher expectations of Yang Ni.
With the changing of seasons from summer to autumn, the autumn colors covered the Mystic Valley, Tianya Valley, and the Third Medicine Valley.
In the autumn season, the Supreme Sect had an added touch of beauty, with autumn leaves covering the mountains and rivers, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Near the end of autumn, one afternoon in Tianya Valley.
Gu An wrapped the freshly picked medicinal herbs with spirit protection paper, and a three-line notification appeared before him:
[You have successfully extracted 52 years of life span from Deer Bone Grass (fifth-tier).]
[Your life span has surpassed one million years for the first time, unlocking the enemy life span prediction feature.]
[Enemy life span prediction: once activated, it will automatically discern cause and effect. When a living being harbors hostility towards your true self, a notification will appear. The notification does not consume life span; investigating the opponent's life span will consume life span.]
Reading the new feature, Gu An paused.
This is really good!
It could alert him to potential enemies, helping him to avoid risks.
He immediately activated the life span prediction feature.
But there was no notification for the time being, perhaps because it started from now.
Gu An's mood became cheerful; he felt this feature was significant and that waiting for so many years had been worth it. Moreover, he had accumulated a million years of life span and was about to break through!
He started to hasten his movements. After harvesting the mature medicinal herbs in Tianya Valley, he transported them all to the storage tower. He discovered that the herbs in the storage tower had all been taken, leaving it empty.
Not thinking much about it, he left after placing the herbs.
Just as he exited the storage tower, Lv Xian came up to him and said, “Don't be in a hurry to leave; today I need to teach you the Mystic Tortoise Surging Wave Palm.”
He had already taught Gu An eight spells. Two years ago, he decided to start from scratch and focus deeply on one spell.
He did not believe there could be someone so foolish!
He prepared to spend fifty years drilling Gu An.
Fifty years devoted to one spell, even a pig should grasp it, right?
Gu An pushed him aside and said, “Not today, another time.”
Lv Xian was stunned as Gu An pushed him.
This guy dared to push him?
He actually got pushed!
“No!”
Lv Xian held Gu An's shoulder, not letting him leave.
Gu An shook his head helplessly and said, “I think I have already mastered the Mystic Tortoise Surging Wave Palm. Would you like to see?”
“Is that so? Try it now!” Lv Xian immediately let go, urging excitedly.
Gu An walked to an empty space, raised his palm, and struck out. Instantly, a wave of air surged from his palm, creating wave-like phenomena in the air ahead, reaching several feet.
He withdrew his palm and said, “I wasn't lying. I have been practicing diligently in private. I have other matters to attend to, teach me how to enhance it next time.”
With that, he leaped into the sky and flew away.
Lv Xian did not try to stop him again, standing there with furrowed brows.
After a long time.
Lv Xian couldn't help but mutter, “It's a state of ease, without a trace of breath from behind…he really has mastered it…”
Returning to the Mystic Valley, Gu An first went to the Third Medicine Valley to harvest the remaining medicinal herbs, then went back to the Mystic Valley.
He found Yang Ni and informed her he would be leaving for two days to report to the Inner Sect. Yang Ni had no doubts.
He departed at dusk, heading in the direction of the Outer Gate City, taking a large detour before returning near the Mystic Valley. Late at night, he sneaked into the Eight Scenic Caves and brought out Sky Dragon.
Sky Dragon was very excited, looking around curiously.
Gu An took it and left the Supreme Sect directly.
He trod the Infinite Traceless Mystic Heaven Step, bypassing the Supreme Sect, and hurried towards the North Sea Mountain.
Sky Dragon was amazed by Gu An's step technique but wasn't overly startled, as it regarded its master as the closest person and had no experience with others to form a broader worldview.
The North Sea Mountain was over three hundred thousand miles away from the Supreme Sect. Along the way, Gu An continued to use the Infinite Traceless Mystic Heaven Step, rushing at full speed without stopping.
Upon nearing the North Sea Mountain, Gu An released Sky Dragon.
“Master, see you later!”
Sky Dragon exclaimed and left excitedly. Gu An smiled, then donned a mask and changed into black clothes, continuing his journey.
He aimed to have a breakthrough deep in the North Sea Mountain.
The North Sea Mountain was surrounded by mountains and bordered the sea. The North Sea was actually a vast lake, as large as an ocean.
Gu An walked through the air, seeing the endless North Sea glistening under the moonlight, with fog drifting over it, extending beyond the horizon.
Along the way, he saw a giant fish, over a hundred yards long, leap from the lake and stretch its body mid-air, a truly magnificent sight.
The North Sea Mountain was not only inhabited by demons but also by cultivators and ghosts.
Gu An sensed a battle between cultivators, both of the Nascent Soul Realm. He only glanced briefly before swiftly moving on without stopping.
Break through first, and then enjoy the scenery!
He wondered where Li Ya might be?
With this thought, Gu An spread his divine sense to find a suitable location for his breakthrough.
After about an hour, Gu An arrived in a deep mountain area. He sat down under a large tree.
Within a three-thousand-mile radius, there was no sign of human activity, not even many demon creatures, only wandering ghosts. Hence, this forest was particularly eerie, with ghostly air thickening the atmosphere.
Gu An directly activated the life span barrier, first making himself invisible.
Then, he brought up his attribute panel:
[Name: Gu An]
[Life Span: 58/1,002,060]
[Spirit Root: Top-Quality Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root]
[Cultivation Level: Unification Realm, Ninth Layer]
[Cultivation Techniques: Fire Control Art (Initial Insight), Yang Wood Primordial Skill (Mastery), Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill (Consummation), Alchemy (Slight Accomplishment), Myriad Poison Mystic Skill (Untrained), Yin Yang Art (Untrained), Daoist Expansion Skill (Untrained)]
Seeing his seven-digit life span, he felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
He planned to allocate one hundred thousand years of life span to his spirit root, Yang Wood Primordial Skill, and Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill each. Then, he would enhance his cultivation level. As for spells, ultimate skills, and divine skills, he could spare fewer life span points since he rarely engaged in combat.
Gu An directly allocated one hundred thousand years of life span to his spirit root, intending to stop regardless of the outcome.
[You have allocated one hundred thousand years of life span to your spirit root for evolutionary cultivation.]
[You have perceived the nature's spiritual energy for a thousand years, your Five Elements Spirit Root perception power has increased.]
[You have perceived the nature's spiritual energy for two thousand years, your Five Elements Spirit Root perception power has increased.]
[You have perceived the nature's spiritual energy for seven thousand years, finally comprehending the Five Elements True Meaning; your Top-Quality Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root has been refined.]
[You have perceived the nature's spiritual energy for fifty-six thousand years, finally comprehending the Five Elements True Meaning; your Top-Quality Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root has been refined.]
A string of notifications flashed crazily before Gu An's eyes. Although he was prepared, he couldn't help but scowl.
Perhaps he shouldn't have enhanced the spirit root after all; the Top-Quality Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root was already adequate.
But since he had enhanced it, he could only endure!
Though it hadn't transformed, the refinement should have strengthened his aptitude.
Gu An comforted himself.
The notifications continued.
[You have perceived the nature's spiritual energy for seventy thousand years, finally comprehending the Five Elements True Meaning; your Top-Quality Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root has been refined.]
[You have perceived the nature's spiritual energy for eighty thousand years, finally comprehending the Five Elements True Meaning; your Top-Quality Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root is undergoing transformation, being wrapped in nature's spiritual energy. You have entered a state of nirvana.]
[You have perceived the nature's spiritual energy for ninety thousand years, successfully undergoing nirvana. Your Top-Quality Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root has fused with your body and soul, upgrading to Five Elements Treasure Body.]
[You have perceived the nature's spiritual energy for one hundred thousand years, your Five Elements Treasure Body has been refined.]
Seeing the Five Elements Treasure Body, Gu An's spirit lifted. He felt like he had found a silver lining, and his hard work had paid off!
Ecstatic!
Just as Gu An's mood soared, the spiritual energy in the ground began to surge, a terrifyingly violent wave of spiritual energy rushed towards him. The momentum was even more exaggerated than when he broke through to the Ninth Layer of the Unification Realm.
Sorry to all beings in North Sea Mountain, you are going to be alarmed!
Gu An immersed himself in the magical process of spiritual energy refining his body.
Throughout the North Sea Mountain, beings continually sensed the descent of spiritual energy. In less than fifteen breaths, even those at the periphery could feel the anomaly.
In a secluded valley.
A white-robed Li Xuandao sat on an array platform, surrounded by thousands of elixir bottles and storage bags. Flags stood around the platform, with even more flags and talisman papers on the surrounding valley walls, creating a dazzling display.
Li Xuandao opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.
“Another descent of spiritual energy. What is going on? Why is this happening even in the North Sea Mountain?” Li Xuandao muttered to himself, an uneasy look in his eyes.
