Chapter 25 Have you ever heard of the Nascent Soul Realm?

Crack——

A shriveled foot stepped out of the coffin, stepped on a piece of charcoal, and broke it.

Gu An saw that it was a ragged woman with dishevelled hair and an extremely thin body, as if her flesh and blood had been drained. She could vaguely see that the robe on her body was a white dress, with torn sleeves and trouser legs. She staggered out like a ghost.

Jiang Qiong slowly raised her face, her face was also shriveled, her eye sockets were deep, and her eyes were bulging, which was very scary.

Her eyes fell on Gu An, and he was so scared that he lowered his head quickly.

"My dear disciple, thanks to you for helping me refine the elixir for the past five years, I recovered quickly..." Jiang Qiong forced a smile, which was even more terrifying, and there was turbid air coming out of her mouth.

She no longer called herself "this seat", but "I", which made the relationship between the two closer.

Gu An suppressed his discomfort and said, "This is what the disciple should do, but the disciple is confused."

"Ask."

Jiang Qiong replied while trembling towards the alchemy furnace.

Gu An looked at her and asked, "Since alchemy can help you recover quickly, why didn't you let my master help you make the alchemy before?"

Cheng Xuandan thought Jiang Qiong had been dead for seventy years, that is, she had been hiding here for seventy years, and Cheng Xuandan had never found that she was still alive.

Jiang Qiong smiled and said, "Because I don't trust him, your master was just forced to become my disciple. His heart is wavering, and he might betray me at any time. Half of the coffins in this cave are his disciples."

Gu An was silent.

He believed that Jiang Qiong was telling the truth, because Meng Lang ended up like this.

Jiang Qiong sat in front of the alchemy furnace, raised his hand and waved it, and the herbs piled next to him flew into the furnace.

"Five years have passed, how many levels of foundation building are you now?" Jiang Qiong asked.

Gu An's apparent cultivation level was the fifth level of Qi training, but Jiang Qiong determined that he was at the foundation building level.

Gu An replied, "I'm almost at the third level."

"Too slow, don't neglect your cultivation on weekdays. I was building my foundation at the age of 18 and forming an elixir at the age of 40. If I hadn't studied the way of elixir and the way of formation for decades, I would have been at the Nascent Soul level. Have you ever heard of the Nascent Soul level?" Jiang Qiong stared at the elixir furnace and said casually.

Gu An nodded quickly and said, "The Nascent Soul level is full of immortals, and they are rarely seen in the outer sect."

"Humph, what immortals, they are just stronger cultivators. When I fully recover, I will find a place to impact the Nascent Soul level. At that time, you will have another Nascent Soul level supporter. How about it, are you excited?" Jiang Qiong said the latter part with a proud tone.

Her voice was charming, completely different from her terrifying image.

"Thank you for your care, Master. Do you need my help?" Gu An stepped forward and said.

Jiang Qiong replied, "Just watch from the side, see how I make the elixir, and chat by the way."

She raised her hand and clapped, motioning Gu An to sit next to her.

Gu An sat down, but kept a distance from her, and was alert in his heart.

No matter how good Jiang Qiong was to him, at least before she left, he would never take it lightly.

Meng Lang was a lesson from the past. It is estimated that he did not doubt the process of Xuandan before he died.

Jiang Qiong asked about his life and origins. He did not hide it and roughly told about his first half of life. Of course, he did not mention the Ji family, but only said that he was born as a servant and joined the Taixuan Sect after his spiritual roots were detected.

After chatting for half an hour, Jiang Qiong let Gu An leave and asked him to wait for the next three nights. There would be a big reward after the task was completed.

Gu An arrived as expected.

The third night arrived.

Gu An sat in meditation opposite the elixir furnace, holding the Yin-Yang Sutra in his hand, and asked Jiang Qiong from time to time.

Jiang Qiong was annoyed by the questions and couldn't help but scold: "You kid, you won't lie to me on purpose, right? You have reached the foundation-building stage at such a young age, how can your understanding be so stupid?"

Gu An said aggrievedly: "Refine the elixir, absorb the qi."

Jiang Qiong suddenly didn't know what to say, and suddenly, her attention was attracted by the alchemy furnace.

More and more hot air came out of the alchemy furnace, and the air holes on the furnace cover turned dark green, which was very strange.

Gu An was horrified. What kind of elixir was she refining?

Why did it feel like a poisonous elixir?

Jiang Qiong's eyes showed excitement. She stopped talking and stared at the alchemy furnace.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Gu An was on guard at any time to avoid Jiang Qiong's surprise attack.

I don't know how long it has passed.

A muffled sound came from the alchemy furnace, and Jiang Qiong's face showed a smile, which was uglier than crying.

She raised her right hand and stretched out two fingers, and the furnace cover flew up. Her right hand followed and grabbed it, and a pill flew out of the furnace. As soon as it entered her hand, she threw it directly into her mouth.

So fast!

As if she was afraid that Gu An would snatch it.

After taking the pill, Jiang Qiong immediately crossed her legs and practiced her skills. In less than three breaths, wisps of white gas emerged from her body.

Gu An stood up and slowly backed away from her.

More and more white gas appeared, lingering around Jiang Qiong, making her figure blurry. At first glance, she looked like a zombie in the white mist.

Gu An began to constantly check her lifespan to prevent her from suddenly entering the Nascent Soul Realm.

Jiang Qiong's current lifespan began to increase. It was the first time that Gu An saw someone's lifespan increase like this. It was quite shocking to see it in numbers.

He suddenly became very interested in Jiang Qiong's pill. What kind of miraculous medicine was this?

Not only was Jiang Qiong's lifespan increasing, but her aura was also rising, and soon surpassed the aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

A true Jindan Realm cultivator!

Gu An keenly discovered that Jiang Qiong's body was recovering, and her body was getting thicker, like a balloon inflated.

There's something!

He waited patiently.

Gradually, Jiang Qiong's breathing sounded in the cave, getting heavier and heavier, and in the end it even roared like a wild beast.

for a long time.

Jiang Qiong's breathing stopped suddenly, and Gu An noticed that her realm had not broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, so she was not so nervous.

In the white mist, Jiang Qiong stretched out his graceful figure, looking completely different from before.

She walked out of the white mist, still disheveled and ragged, but there were patches of fair skin under her shabby clothes, which made Gu An's face feel hot in the dark cave, and he couldn't help but look away.

"I haven't walked like this for a long time."

Jiang Qiong said in a nostalgic tone. She walked all the way to Gu An, leaned forward, pushed her hair away with both hands, and asked, "How are you, my dear disciple, is your master good-looking?"

Gu An took a quick glance. Although her face was dirty, judging from her facial features, she was indeed a rare beauty. In his experience, in terms of appearance, only Ji Xiaoyu, the third daughter of the Ji family, and Li Xuanyu, an outer disciple, could compare. .

"My master is one of the most beautiful in the world, but my disciple is more concerned about your physical condition. Is your injury healed?"

Gu An asked with his fists clasped, his words sincere.

Once the injury is healed, leave as soon as possible!

"It's still early to recover. I have to rest for another five years." Jiang Qiong smiled, looking at Gu An with her bright eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

call!

She suddenly hit Gu An with a palm, as fast as lightning, and then stopped on his chest. The strong wind caused his robe to be pulled back wantonly.

Jiang Qiong asked with a half-smile, "Why don't you hide?"

Gu An's face was stiff and he said, "I didn't have time to react..."

In fact, this was not the case. In his eyes, Jiang Qiong's movements were too slow. In an instant, his dragon energy could counterattack her spiritual power.

She stopped not to spare Gu An's life, but to save her own.

Jiang Qiong couldn't help laughing, she was smiling brightly, and she even laughed in the end.

Gu An looked at her and smiled without interrupting her.

After laughing for a while, Jiang Qiong turned and walked towards the alchemy furnace and said: "Don't worry, I will not kill my disciples. When Cheng Xuandan wanted to betray me, I spared his life and even used his protection to hide in Taixuanmen. As long as you respect me, I will never let you down, and if someone bullies you, I will not stand by and watch."

When Gu An heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Qiong walked in front of the alchemy furnace, turned to look at Gu An, and said, "Leave me a new set of clothes. You can go back. Come back tomorrow night and I will teach you the magic."

Gu An immediately took out a set of his own white robes from his storage bag, placed them gently on the ground, then raised his hand to salute Jiang Qiong, and left.

When he disappeared into the darkness, Jiang Qiong turned around. She came to the white robe, raised her hand to grab the white robe from the air, smelled the smell on it, and chuckled.

…

In the early morning, Gu An was leading everyone in Yaogu to practice.

A man came from the mouth of the valley.

It was Li Ya.

Li Ya is still dressed in black. Compared with five years ago, he is more energetic and exudes the aura of a strong man.

His arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"It's Senior Brother Li Ya!" Xiaochuan shouted in surprise.

Gu An immediately walked towards Li Ya and asked everyone to continue practicing.

He came to Li Ya and was about to speak, but Li Ya beat him to it: "Go upstairs and talk."

Um?

Something's wrong?

Gu An suddenly became nervous. What was worthy of Li Ya's personal visit?

He immediately took Li Ya to the attic. After going upstairs and entering the house, he closed the door.

Li Ya walked to the table, raised his hand, and a cang fruit appeared on the table, which made Gu An stunned.

"Four years ago, a Cangvine Fruit appeared in the Pill Hall of the Outer Gate. I bought it, but the task was heavy and I never had the chance to give it to you." Li Ya said with a smile.

Gu An looked strange.

Li Ya asked: "What's wrong?"

Gu An felt that the matter could not be concealed, so he faked a cough and said, "I sold this fruit to the elixir hall."

In order to get rid of suspicion, he sold it at a low price, which made the elders of the Alchemy Hall praise him for being grateful to the sect.

The reason why Gu An dared to sell it was because Li Ya said that Cang Teng Fruit was not rare in Taixuan Sect. Although there were none in the outer sect, there were many in the inner sect. To be precise, there were rare treasures in the world in the inner sect.

He never expected that Li Ya would buy it back...

Li Ya said helplessly: "This matter has caused such a fuss... This fruit can enhance Qi and blood. It is a very rare treasure of heaven and earth. How can you sell it? How many spiritual stones did you sell?"

"Twenty middle-grade spiritual stones..."

"What? I spent ten high-grade spiritual stones!" Li Ya's eyes widened.

One high-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones.

The two fell into silence at the same time.

Gu An actually felt that it was not a loss. With the Cang Teng Fruit, he established a good friendship with Zhu Qinglu from the Pill Hall. Zhu Qinglu took good care of him in the next four years and provided many facilities. However, he was a little embarrassed when facing Li Ya. .

Li Ya said quietly: "Forget it, just make a contribution to the sect. Apart from this, I have one more thing to ask you about."
