Chapter 18: Myriad Poisons, 7,000 Years of Life

After the cave entrance was completely closed, Gu An continued to walk along the tunnel.

With the seventh-level spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building realm, Gu An walked as if in the daytime, without any obstacles, and the tunnel became wider and wider, as if there was no end.

Gu An was even more curious about Cheng Xuandan's master. What kind of strange person could build such a huge underground tunnel?

The tunnel meandered downwards, and after walking for more than ten miles, Gu An still hadn't reached the end.

He could now be sure that the place under the stone slab was connected to this underground tunnel.

A gust of spiritual wind came from the tunnel in front, blowing on Gu An's face, making him feel refreshed.

The tunnel in front began to light up, and he saw crystal stones of different colors inlaid on the cave wall. Gu An felt it carefully, and found that they were not spiritual stones, which disappointed him greatly.

If they were all spiritual stones, he would have made a fortune!

Gu An thought as he moved forward.

His senses were always tense. Although Cheng Xuandan had been very nice to him until the end, he didn't dare to be careless when he thought of Cheng Xuandan's methods against Meng Lang.

What if Cheng Xuandan was acting?

After walking for several miles, Gu An saw that the cave in front of him became very bright, and he heard the sound of water.

The cave entrance is here!

Gu An touched it carefully. He came to the cave entrance and looked at the underground space in front of him. His eyes widened.

"It's really rich..."

Gu An muttered to himself, with surprise in his eyes.

Following his gaze, there was a vast underground space in front of him, which was several times larger than Xuan Valley. From the ground to the ceiling, it was more than a hundred feet away. A giant tree over a hundred meters high stood in it. Its trunk required more than a dozen people to hug it. The branches and leaves were not numerous, and it bore lantern-like fruits. These fruits were crystal clear and glowed with blue light.

Under the tree is a lush grassland, and next to it is a two-meter-wide underground river, just at the edge of the underground space, against the mountain wall.

[Cangteng Tree (Seventh Level): 245/9999/87600]

The maximum lifespan is 87,000!

The current lifespan is nearly 10,000!

When Gu An saw this prompt, he suddenly had the urge to pull up the tree, but he restrained himself.

According to Cheng Xuandan, this seventh-level spiritual tree is the key to the underground formation. It presides over the entire formation, allowing other natural treasures to grow freely, and the spiritual energy gathered by those natural treasures will activate the formation, and then feed back to the seventh-level spiritual tree.

By pulling out the Cangteng Tree, Gu An lost a planting site with great potential.

At the same time, this place can also be used as his cave. The formation set up by Master Cheng Xuandan is very rich. If you practice and break through here, the movement will not be transmitted.

Gu An glanced around and saw dozens of distinctive stone statues inlaid on the cave walls in all directions. There were special runes between the stone statues, which were mysterious.

He stepped out of the cave entrance. As soon as he came in, he caught a glimpse of a stone tablet standing next to him, with four words engraved on it:

Bajing Cave Heaven!

Gu An took a look and continued to walk into the cave heaven.

Along the way, he explored frantically.

The third- and fourth-level spiritual herbs and flowers were everywhere. The closer to the Cang Teng tree, the higher the grade of the herbs, which dazzled him.

With such a large treasury hidden, Cheng Xuandan couldn't build a foundation?

Gu An didn't know whether to sympathize with Cheng Xuandan's poor aptitude or his inadequate alchemy skills.

Even if his alchemy skills were not good enough, he could sell some herbs in exchange for spiritual stones, or ask the alchemists of Taixuan Sect to help him make pills.

In Gu An's opinion, if a sect like Taixuan Sect really needed resources, it shouldn't be difficult to produce a cultivator in the foundation-building realm.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Cheng Xuandan is afraid that his identity will be exposed.

Gu An walked to the Cang Teng tree, and standing under the tree, he could feel the vast atmosphere and vitality of the Cang Teng tree even more.

He circled the Cang Teng tree, and he saw that there was more than one cave entrance in the Eight Scenery Cave Heaven, a total of eight cave entrances.

He suspected that one of the cave entrances would be connected to the stone slab he had found before.

He had no idea of ​​exploring other cave entrances for the time being. He turned around, then took out the Baicao Lu from the storage bag and began to refer to them one by one.

If it is ripe, just pick it directly!

Some of the herbs picked can be taken to the outer gate to exchange for more high-level seeds for continuous development!

Gu An was excited just thinking about it.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Gu An had picked more than 130 third-level herbs, madly harvesting more than 900 lifespans, making his total lifespan leap over the 5,000-year mark.

This identity of a spy of the magic way is worth it!

Gu An was in high spirits. There were many herbs planted in the Eight Scenery Cave Heaven. He had only harvested one tenth of them, and the herbs he had harvested were of the lowest grade.

From now on, this would be his cave residence, his secret base!

Just as Gu An was about to bend down to pick the next herb, he suddenly heard a noise and immediately turned around, looking at a cave entrance in the distance.

The cave entrance was dark and scary.

Gu An moved to the side.

The grass was not full of herbs, but also ordinary weeds. He suspected that there would be a battle next, so he had to move so as not to affect his herbs.

That was his life!

Gu An walked towards the underground river, his eyes fixed on the cave entrance.

Soon, footsteps and heavy breathing were heard from the cave entrance, as if a wild beast was about to rush out.

A foot stepped out of the darkness, and when Gu An saw the true face of the person in the cave clearly, he couldn't help but frown.

It turned out to be Meng Lang!

At this moment, Meng Lang had disheveled hair, ragged clothes, bare feet, blood streaks on his neck, and his face was even redder, as if he had been burned. His eyes were full of bloodshot, and white air was still coming out of his mouth.

"Roar——"

Meng Lang roared at Gu An and rushed towards him.

His speed was very fast, getting closer and closer to Gu An.

Gu An did not retreat but rushed forward.

The distance between the two sides quickly shortened, splashing grass debris along the way.

Meng Lang jumped up and wanted to pounce on Gu An, but Gu An turned his body to the side and hit his abdomen with a knee, knocking him back directly.

Gu An frowned even more tightly, and his right leg was a little numb.

Good guy!

How did Meng Lang become so hard?

Gu An felt that the greedy and angry demons were not as hard as him. Although he did not use all his strength and did not use his spiritual power, he could roughly judge.

The reason why he held back was to see if Meng Lang could still survive.

He shook his right leg and rushed towards Meng Lang again.

Meng Lang fell on the grass, but he seemed to feel no pain. He immediately got up and rushed towards Gu An.

Gu An put his right foot in front, forced his body to stop, and raised his left leg, and poured spiritual power into it, performing the Wind-breaking Shadow Kick.

The strong wind rose from the ground, and a series of leg shadows fell on Meng Lang one after another, knocking Meng Lang out again. After landing, he rolled more than ten times before stopping.

His hands and feet were obviously twisted. He wanted to get up, but fell down the next second, and his forehead hit the grass heavily.

Gu An retracted his legs, and his face showed curiosity.

Is Cheng Xuandan's medicine so powerful?

He has such a strong physique at only the first level, and it feels no less than the Greedy Demon Ghost!

How could Cheng Xuandan compare to the great cultivator behind the Greedy Demon Ghost?

Gu An was more and more certain that Cheng Xuandan was hiding something, and it was probably related to his master.

He walked in front of Meng Lang, looking down at his ferocious body like a demon, he was in a state of hesitation, not knowing how to deal with it.

"He's dead anyway, why should I care about his identity in life?"

Gu An's eyes flickered, and the grass and dust around his feet began to slowly roll up, which meant that he was practicing.

At this time!

Gu An saw a corner of a book exposed in Meng Lang's arms, he immediately reached out and used his spiritual power to pull it out from the air, and the book quickly flew into his hands.

"Wan Gu Xuan Gong..."

Gu An whispered, he simply flipped through it, this is a practice method, and it is still a fragment, there is an obvious content gap on the last page.

In addition to the previous practice method, there are five kinds of Gu techniques recorded in the back, each of which has a picture. He compared them and finally found the Gu technique that Meng Lang was infected with.

Flame Corpse Gu!

"Those who are poisoned by Gu will have flames in their bodies, their bodies will be as hard as deep rocks, and their strength will be immense... There is no medicine to save them, no technique to cure them, until they are crushed to pieces..."

After Gu An finished reading, he looked at Meng Lang with sympathy in his eyes.

How pitiful.

The method of curbing the flame corpse Gu is recorded in the Myriad Gu Mysterious Art. It only needs to cover its seven orifices to prevent the Gu worm from swallowing spiritual energy, so that the Gu worm will fall into a state of suspended animation and the Gu body can no longer move.

He immediately sealed Meng Lang's seven orifices with mud, and then he stood up and looked at the cave entrance where Meng Lang came from.

He did not go to explore immediately, but put the Myriad Gu Mysterious Art into the storage bag and turned around to continue picking herbs.

Even if Cheng Xuandan's master was still alive, the other party did not attack him, a cultivator in the Qi training realm, either because he had no intention of killing him or because he could not move. In this case, why should he alarm the snake?

The longer the time, the better it will be for Gu An.

Half an hour later.

Gu An left Bajing Cave Heaven with satisfaction. His life span had reached an astonishing 7,000 years!

He harvested all the third-level herbs that could be harvested. Next, it was time to sow seeds. It would take many more years for the new seeds to mature.

After the third-level herbs were harvested, it was time to harvest the fourth-level herbs!

In order to prevent the ecological environment of the formation from being destroyed, Gu An did not harvest all the mature herbs in one go. He harvested some and planted some. This was a sustainable and effective benign development!

Moreover, even if the herbs were mature, they could be left behind. The longer they lived, the more life they could take away. Of course, there was a critical point, and Gu An was still observing.

…

The next morning, Gu An, the new leader of Xuan Valley, walked out of the room early. As soon as he came out, he urged his junior brothers to come out.

After hearing Xiaochuan's response, he walked towards Ye Lan's courtyard again.

"Junior sister, it's time to come out." Gu An shouted.

"Okay, senior brother."

Ye Lan replied quickly, more actively than his junior brothers.

Not long after, everyone stood in front of Gu An.

Gu An glanced at them and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you will become uncles in the future. I will recruit miscellaneous disciples, and they will be my disciples and your nephews."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was excited and rushed to discuss the future. No one mentioned Cheng Xuandan. It was not that they were unkind and ungrateful. This was what they had agreed to privately. They did not mention Cheng Xuandan in the past month.

Gu An encouraged them a few words and began to lead his junior brothers and sisters to practice exercises to stretch their muscles. After that, he had to go to Bajing Cave to plant flowers and plants.

Life is going to be busy!
