Chapter 38: The Sword of Hate, the Changes in Taixuan Sect

After Li Xuandao finished speaking, he looked at Gu An with a smile on his face, waiting for his decision.

Gu An was confused.

The emperor also wanted him to be a spy?

This was forcing him to be a triple agent!

This was not what Gu An was pursuing, but the key was that he couldn't refuse. The other party was higher than him in both cultivation and status.

If he didn't refuse, he would have troubles in the future.

If he refused, he would have troubles now!

But when Gu An thought of the high-level herbs he just mentioned, his heart beat faster.

Gu An asked hesitantly: "Do I... have room to refuse?"

"Yes, if you refuse, I will erase your memory of today, as if you and I have never met." Li Xuandao chuckled.

Gu An asked helplessly: "Why choose me? My qualifications are mediocre. With your status, it is easy for you to poach disciples from Taixuan Sect."

Li Xuandao shook his head and said: "I am not deliberately poaching disciples from Taixuan Sect. It just happens that you have a very good relationship with Li Ya and want to help you. Moreover, your qualifications are mediocre, so I am more relieved because I can meet your needs."

He paused and said in a frivolous tone: "People don't want the emperor to be immortal, and I don't want my master of Medicine Valley to be immortal."

You are really humorous!

Gu An could only say: "If that's the case, then I can only agree."

"After decades, when you look back, you will not regret your decision today." Li Xuandao laughed, his tone full of pride.

Gu An couldn't help but ask curiously: "Your Majesty has been paying attention to Senior Brother Li?"

"The matter has been discussed. There is no need to call me Your Majesty anymore. You can call me uncle. This way we are like family members." Li Xuandao said with a straight face.

Gu An saw that he didn't seem to be testing him, so he called him uncle.

Li Xuandao smiled and said, "To be honest, I have a lot of pawns in the outer sect of Taixuan Sect. I know Li Ya's situation."

Gu An thought that Li Ya had a bad relationship with his father before, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Is there a misunderstanding here?

He wanted to ask for Li Ya, but he held back.

The emperor in front of him wanted to live forever. Such an emperor must have a complicated attitude towards the prince. Even if he loved the prince, he probably had some fear in his heart.

Which prince wanted to be a prince for his whole life? Which prince didn't have a desire for the throne in his heart?

Gu An was full of emotion. He thought that Li Ya and Li Xuanyu were talented enough before, but until he saw Li Xuandao, he knew why they were so talented.

Bloodline inheritance!

Two hundred and thirty years old, the eighth level of the Transformation Realm...

He wouldn't break through the Transformation Realm at the age of more than a hundred, right?

Too outrageous!

The most important thing is that this guy has also practiced the secret method of hiding his breath. If Gu An did not have the ability to detect his life span, he would not be able to see through his true cultivation.

Perhaps the court and the world of immortal cultivation could not see through his cultivation, so he could practice steadily until now.

Then, Li Xuandao began to ask Gu An about the things in the valley, curious about the origin of the Spring Festival mentioned by those disciples.

Gu An answered him with the words he used to deal with other people.

Li Xuandao became interested in the Spring Festival and decided to participate today. How could Gu An refuse?

Half an hour later, the two walked down the attic and prepared for the Spring Festival with other disciples. The disciples were very happy and laughed continuously, which also infected Li Xuandao.

As night fell, Gu An took out the homemade firecrackers, and the Xuan Valley began to echo with the sound of explosions one after another, deafening.

The firelight shone on Li Xuandao's face. He was smiling and even drank with Xiaochuan. It was impossible to associate him with the emperor of the Taicang Dynasty.

Tang Yu, Su Han and other disciples prepared some programs, including storytelling, sparring, juggling, etc., which made the excitement last until late at night.

The next day at noon, Gu An sent Li Xuandao away.

"Two more years? It's really exciting."

Gu An thought silently, Li Xuandao said that he would send someone to pick him up to the Medicine Valley in two years.

He planned to strive for a lifespan of 100,000 years within two years, and then break through to the God Transformation Realm.

No, to surpass the God Transformation Realm, he was not stronger than Li Xuandao, and he was really uneasy. After all, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. What if Li Xuandao wants to harm him one day?

Gu An looked at the direction where Li Xuandao left, secretly curious, why did the emperor go to the outer gate alone?

Could it be that the person he really visited was Li Xuanyu?

Li Ya said that Li Xuandao's favorite child was Li Xuanyu.

Gu An no longer thought about it, turned around and walked into the valley, preparing to plant some more herbs.

...

Spring went and summer came, and Gu An welcomed the age of thirty-four in the summer.

On this day, he bid farewell to Du Ye who came to ask for medicinal herbs.

At the mouth of the valley.

Du Ye turned around and said, "You have provided a lot of medicinal herbs over the years. Master Ji Lin is very satisfied with you. After a while, he will send someone to send you foundation-building pills to help you reach the foundation-building stage as soon as possible. When you become a true outer disciple, he will find a way to let you continue to take over this medicine valley."

After that, he turned and left, stepping on the sword and leaping over the mountains and forests.

Gu An shook his head and laughed. When he sent Li Xuandao away at the beginning of the year, Li Xuandao also said something similar.

In the future, he must keep a distance from the Ji family, otherwise the Ji family will plot against Taixuanmen and need his help.

Although the sect is strong, the power of the family is immeasurable.

In this land, dynasties change, sects are destroyed and new ones rise, but some families can survive, and the Ji family is one of them.

Alas!

I just want to pick grass and flowers well, why are there so many people trying to win him over?

Gu An thought as he walked into the nearby forest.

There was a man practicing sword in the forest, it was Su Han.

Su Han has now reached the seventh level of Qi training, second only to Gu An and Tang Yu in the valley.

Tang Yu practiced leg techniques, while Su Han practiced swordsmanship, but the swordsmanship he usually practiced was taught by Li Ya, so it was not very advanced.

Gu An watched him practicing swordsmanship from a distance, and hesitated whether to teach him.

Su Han was diligent in his work and practiced hard, and Gu An could not find any fault with him.

Huh?

No, he was not practicing the Seven Swords of the Li Family.

Looking carefully, the swordsmanship he performed was the first time Gu An had seen it.

This kid also had an adventure?

When did it happen?

Gu An was secretly curious, and then deliberately stepped on the dead leaves to make a sound.

Su Han, who was practicing swordsmanship, noticed Gu An's arrival. He stopped immediately and turned to salute Gu An.

"Xiao Han, entering the outer gate depends on cultivation. Why do you practice swordsmanship so hard?" Gu An asked with a smile.

Su Han scratched his head with his left hand and said, "I'm not in a hurry to enter the outer sect. I want to practice swordsmanship first."

"Why do you think so?"

"To enter the outer sect, you have to carry out tasks. If you are not strong enough, you will ruin your future."

Su Han's answer made Gu An happy.

Yes, this boy is very suitable for him.

Gu An asked curiously, "Is your swordsmanship inherited from your family?"

Su Han nodded and said, "It's my father's swordsmanship, but it's too profound. Recently, I have barely comprehended it."

"Your father must be very powerful. Although I don't like to practice swordsmanship, I have seen many exquisite swordsmanship in the outer sect, but none of them are as good as the swordsmanship you just performed." Gu An asked curiously.

Su Han shook his head and said, "My father is a useless person. Since I can remember, he has been blind and has no magic. When I was seven years old, he died of illness. Later, I found this swordsmanship secret book in his bag."

As he said, he took out a sword manual from his arms and handed it directly to Gu An.

Gu An took it and looked at it, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Hate Heaven Sword!

What a weird name!

As soon as he saw this name, Gu An immediately wanted to expel Su Han from Xuan Valley.

This guy obviously has a grudge!

Gu An simply flipped through it. He was at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, which was enough to remember everything he saw. However, if he wanted to practice it, it would depend on his own sword comprehension.

He returned the sword manual to Su Han and said in a deep voice: "This sword technique is indeed exquisite, but its mental method seems a bit sinister. Do you have to practice it?"

This sword technique requires the sword energy to temper the internal organs, causing the sword practitioner to suffer unimaginable pain, and some of the methods are even invisible to Gu An.

With his sword attainments, it can be asserted that this sword technique is very evil!

Su Han was stunned for a moment and asked, "Master, do you think I shouldn't practice?"

Gu An shook his head and said, "I just think this sword technique may bring you pain, but I don't know your origins and can't understand your feelings. It's up to you to practice or not. If you don't practice, you can stay in Xuan Valley as long as you want. You will always be my disciple."

Su Han was moved after hearing this. He stuffed the Hate Heaven Sword into his arms and nodded heavily.

Gu An took out a book from his arms. It was the latest volume of the Investiture of the Gods. It was given to him by Du Ye. Du Ye said that Ji Lin was obsessed with this book, which led to their followers to read it.

"The book you want." Gu An handed the Investiture of the Gods to Su Han and turned away.

Su Han held the Investiture of the Gods with a smile on his face.

Back in the Medicine Valley, Gu An began to observe other chores.

First, Li Ya, then Wu Xin, and then Su Han, all had unusual backgrounds. This Xuan Valley is too mysterious!

Something is wrong!

Half an hour later, Gu An walked back to his attic.

The other errand disciples could not see any problem for the time being, which made him feel at ease.

On second thought, that was right. Those who could join the world of immortal cultivation all had extraordinary backgrounds or experiences. In their eyes, he was the protagonist.

Until late at night, Gu An quietly came to the Bajing Cave Heaven.

After playing with Haolong for half an hour, he took out the Tiansu Sword and began to practice the Hentian Sword.

It is better to have many skills than to be weak. First practice it to the attribute panel!

For a while, there was a whirring sound under the vine tree. It was the sound of the sword blade swinging. Haolong looked curiously from a few feet away, and Gu An's sword-practicing figure was reflected in his dragon eyes.

...

In late summer.

Gu An came to the outer gate city. He first went to the Danyao Hall and handed in a year's harvest of herbs, and then went to the library to hand in his manuscript.

Since the success of The Investiture of the Gods, Elder Liu Chang has attached great importance to him and always receives him alone, fearing that the news will leak out.

Liu Chang said frankly that he was afraid that Gu An's reputation would be exposed and he would be abducted by the demons. In that case, the library would lose a lot of spiritual stones, which made Gu An more cautious.

After handing over the official business, Gu An went to visit Lu Jiujia. Lu Jiujia was very happy and invited him to find Ye Lan together. It happened that Ye Lan was also in the city.

Not all outer disciples opened caves outside the city. The price required for the construction of caves is expensive. More disciples choose to live in the outer gate and enjoy the spiritual energy of the outer gate.

In the courtyard, after the three sat down, Lu Jiujia poured wine for Gu An and said mysteriously: "Something big happened in Taixuanmen!"
