Chapter 5 That’s it?

The night was quiet, and you could hear a pin drop. Gu An, who was leaning against the wall, hated himself secretly. Why was his heartbeat so fast?

For some reason, although he could not hear the movement outside, he inexplicably felt that the greedy and angry demon was approaching his house.

His eyes moved back and forth between the door and the window. The moonlight seeped in through the cracks in the door and the window. It was so bright, so bright that it was scary.

The white spirit rat made Gu An's chest itch, making him want to throw it out, but he couldn't bear it.

Time passed slowly as Gu An held his breath and concentrated.

Gu An had never looked forward to the arrival of daytime as much as he did now.

This Taixuan Gate is not safe at all!

In the future, I have to accumulate more lifespans. While keeping a low profile, my strength cannot stop growing!

Gu An was thinking wildly. I don't know how long it has been, and his eyes suddenly fixed on the threshold of the door.

The door was on his left hand side, less than one meter away. The threshold was illuminated by the moonlight, and a black shadow appeared in the crack of the door. At this moment, his scalp was numb.

Greedy and angry demon!

He's coming!

Gu An's heart was in his throat, and his whole body was tense.

He even had the urge to rush out!

Suddenly!

Gu An's body stiffened, and he felt a wet hand pressing on his head, and the sharp nails were imprinted on his forehead, which made him shudder.

His mind was blank for a moment, and he looked up carefully, only to see a white arm emerging from the darkness above his head, like a woman's arm, with her palm pressing on his head, and her nails were sharp like claws.

The owner of this arm poked out from the darkness, and a ferocious face with disheveled hair squeezed out of the darkness. Her true face could not be seen, and only her mouth full of fangs dripping with blood could be seen.

She was laughing!

Damn!

Gu An was completely frightened and crazy, raised his arm and swung it away, and slapped the face of the greedy and angry demon.

Boom!

The eaves of the house were blown open, blood and flesh splattered inside the house, and the rubble and grass on the eaves flew up dozens of feet and disappeared into the night.

The night sky was so dark, and the mountains and forests around the Medicine Valley seemed to be standing with demons and ghosts.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

Gu An was breathing heavily, his raised right arm was trembling, his palm was full of blood, and the blood of the Greedy Demon Ghost splattered all over his face.

When everything was quiet, Gu An still couldn't calm down.

The moonlight sprinkled down and illuminated the house.

A huge blood flower bloomed on the wall, which was terrifying, and a white broken arm lay at Gu An's feet.

After a dozen breaths, Gu An finally calmed down.

[You successfully seized the 52-year lifespan of the Greedy Demon Ghost (Second Level)]

Looking at the prompt that popped up in front of him, he was still breathing heavily, but his eyes became weird.

"That's it?"

Gu An felt absurd, was he too strong, or were Chu Jingfeng and others too weak?

Just when he was confused, he vaguely heard the sound of a door opening. He immediately lay down, closed his eyes, and at the same time hung the arm of the Greedy Demon Ghost on himself.

This was not enough, he raised his hand again, broke the Greedy Demon Ghost's palm, and then strangled his neck. After doing all this, he spread his hands and pretended to faint.

…

Autumn is approaching, and the weather is no longer so hot.

Gu An is picking in the Jingxin Grass Park. Li Ya and Meng Lang stand outside the wooden fence, watching him work.

Half of Li Ya's body is wrapped in white cloth, and there are two shocking scars on his face, almost touching his right eye. It is hard to imagine what he has experienced before.

Meng Lang seemed fine. He stared at Gu An and said in amazement: "This kid can be so happy just picking herbs. It seems that he has never encountered the Greedy Demon before."

Li Ya had no expression on his face, but the scar on his face made him look more vicious. He said calmly: "Maybe he is having fun in misery. How do you know that he can still smile after closing the door?"

The night four days ago seemed like last night. Li Ya recalled his fight with the Greedy Demon and felt scared.

He was lucky to survive.

Chu Jingfeng's injury was more serious than his. One arm was torn off. As for Cheng Xuandan, Zhang Chunqiu and Meng Lang, they were unharmed.

That morning, Taixuan Sect sent several cultivators, all of whom had higher cultivation than Chu Jingfeng, and the highest reached the ninth level of the foundation-building realm. They questioned Gu An about the specific situation. Gu An pretended to be in shock and knew nothing. Finally, several cultivators judged that someone else had saved the menial disciples in this medicine valley. After all, Gu An had no spiritual power, so it was impossible for him to kill the Greedy and Angerous Demon Ghost.

Later, Gu An deliberately changed a room. Zhang Chunqiu treated him better and seemed to feel guilty.

While Li Ya and Meng Lang were discussing Gu An, Gu An enjoyed the joy of taking the life of the second-level medicinal herbs.

The second-level medicinal herbs could bring him two to five years of life. He helped Li Ya and the others pick them. This time, he could pick a total of sixty second-level medicinal herbs, which was simply too cool.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think of the Greedy and Angerous Demon Ghost.

Killing the Greedy and Angerous Demon Ghost brought him fifty-two years of life. Doesn't this mean that he can gain more life by killing demons and eliminating monsters?

However, when he thought of the horrific experience that night and the injuries of Chu Jingfeng and Li Ya, he immediately gave up the idea.

No need!

He was not in a hurry to become stronger, so why bother going out and fighting?

Yeah.

Can't waste time, grow in a sleazy way!

After a while.

Gu An finally finished picking 60 stalks of Jingxin grass. He came to Meng Lang with a bamboo basket on his back and prepared to hand it over to Meng Lang.

Meng Lang coughed and said, "This time, you can hand it over to the senior brother."

Thinking of his useless performance that night, he really had no shame in taking the credit from Gu An.

Gu An didn't refuse and said with a smile, "Okay."

He nodded politely to Li Ya and then walked to Zhang Chunqiu's attic.

Li Ya did not stay any longer and turned around and walked towards the woods in the distance. Meng Lang looked back and forth and touched his nose in embarrassment.

In the lobby.

Gu An handed all the Jingxincao to Zhang Chunqiu. Zhang Chunqiu did not let him leave immediately. Instead, he asked him if he had slept well recently.

Every time Zhang Chunqiu thought of the scene of Gu An being choked by a greedy and angry demon, his heart was filled with guilt. As a senior brother, he was really useless for not being able to protect his junior brother.

Gu An was so honest and obedient on weekdays. If such a junior brother died, to be honest, he would be sad just thinking about it.

"By the way, don't mention it in the future about the greedy and angry demons. When I went to the outer sect today, I heard that the demon was raised by a senior in the sect. If this matter cannot be spread, just treat it as nothing." Zhang Chunqiu said seriously. said.

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

So that's the case, no wonder the demon has been able to act freely for so long.

Zhang Chunqiu seemed worried and added: "We cannot afford to offend such a senior. One word can make our entire Medicine Valley disappear. Since you are from a humble background, you should understand the gap brought by status best. Only by being patient can you survive."

He then raised his hand, took out a secret book from his arms, and said: "This is the secret method prepared by Master for you. Master spent five years of sect contribution in exchange for it. After all, you have indeed been wronged."

Gu An suddenly became happy and took the secret book and saw three words written on the cover.

Canfeng legs!

"Thank you, Senior Brother, thank you Master!" Gu An immediately bent down and thanked him.

Zhang Chunqiu blinked and said with a smile: "Practice more when you have nothing to do. Maybe you can protect yourself in the future. Don't give this secret book to Meng Lang. As for Li Ya, he has shown extraordinary talent, and the master decided to help him break through the foundation building realm." , it is estimated that he will leave Yaogu in at least two years."

Gu An was not surprised when he heard this. It would be a waste for people with cultivation like Li Ya to stay in Medicine Valley.

Afterwards, Zhang Chunqiu said a few polite words to Gu An and asked him to leave.

After Gu An closed the door, Zhang Chunqiu sighed in a low voice: "What an honest boy. He will definitely be able to take care of Master for me in the future, and I can go down the mountain... Xiaolian, wait for me..."

Gu An, who was going downstairs, hesitated for a moment, then continued walking downstairs.

…

Although the attack by the greedy and angry demons did not kill anyone in Yaogu, it made the atmosphere of Yaogu different from before. Li Ya became more and more mysterious. He usually hid in the woods after finishing his chores. Even Meng Lang began to practice hard.

Gu An practiced with the secret book of Canfeng Kick for a month before he could barely make Canfeng Kick appear on the panel. This shocked him so much that he gave up training and prepared to spend his life in the future.

The sun and moon change, and autumn leaves cover the medicinal valley.

Gu An's figure kept appearing in various parks and became the busiest person in the Medicine Valley. Zhang Chunqiu trusted him more and more and no longer supervised his work. As for Cheng Xuandan, he was locked in the house all day refining elixirs and it was difficult to see him for a month. .

Autumn turns to winter, the white snow falls, and the Medicine Valley is plunged into whiteness.

The new year comes in heavy snow.

It wasn't until the winter snow first melted that someone from outside the valley finally came to visit, and they made a special trip to see Gu An.

Inside the house, Gu An closed the door, then walked to the table and poured hot tea for the young man who was sitting next to him.

The young man was wearing the green robe of an outer disciple of Taixuan Sect. He looked at the environment in the room and said, "How have you been this past year and a half?"

There were five people who followed Ji Xiaoyu into the Taixuan Sect. Among them, only Gu An and the young man in front of him were servants.

The young man's name was Du Ye, and he had four spiritual roots. With the help of Ji's family, he entered the outer gate of Taixuan Sect. After not seeing him for more than a year, his whole temperament changed.

"It's okay." Gu An responded casually.

Du Ye looked at him, shook his head slightly and said: "You, you, you had to come here in the first place. With the reputation of Third Miss and the Ji family, it is not difficult to find a way to squeeze you into the outer gate. Why bother coming here to suffer, and There is no hope for cultivation.”

Gu An looked at his lifespan of less than 150 years and compared it with his own lifespan of nearly a thousand years. He smiled and said: "My qualifications are mediocre, and I am afraid of death and pain, so a quiet place like this is suitable for me."

Du Ye shook his head and laughed, then criticized him a few more times, and then revealed the purpose of his trip: "Master Ji Lin is planning to build momentum and network for the third young lady in Taixuan Sect. We can also do our part. On weekdays, you Try your best to collect medicinal materials. I will come to you every six months to get them. These medicinal materials can be used as a bargaining chip for Master Ji Lin to win over other disciples. "

"Okay, no problem." Gu An agreed. Medicinal materials were not very important to him anyway.

Seeing that Gu An was so talkative, Du Ye smiled.

The two chatted for a while, and Gu An sent Du Ye to the entrance of the valley before turning back.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he saw Li Ya waiting.

Li Ya came to Gu An, pressed a secret book in his hand on his chest, and said: "I'm getting ready to leave. This swordsmanship is just a farewell gift. Thank you for what you have done for me this year and a half."
