Chapter 40: Smelling Flying Leaves Again, 100,000 Years of Life
Gu An closed the book and asked with a straight face, "Don't they often practice with each other? Why are they fighting?"
Zhen Qin retracted her gaze and said anxiously, "Second Senior Martial Brother performed a set of sword skills, and Eldest Senior Martial Brother mocked his sword skills for being too soft, so Second Senior Martial Brother became anxious. He had already stabbed Eldest Senior Martial Brother, but he still wouldn't stop!"
Gu An stood up immediately.
The master and disciple quickly went downstairs.
At this moment, the crowd was no longer cheering, they were trying to persuade Su Han.
Under the night sky, Su Han's hair was disheveled like a ghost. He waved his sword madly, his eyes were bloodshot. Tang Yu, who was facing him, was in a sorry state. His robe was cut into pieces, and there were two ghastly wounds on his chest. Blood was gushing out, staining his pants red.
Wu Xin and Xiao Chuan wanted to stop him, but Su Han's sword skills were too sharp for them to get close.
Seeing Gu An coming, the disciples quickly stepped aside.
Gu An stepped in between the two, his left hand grabbed Su Han's right wrist, and his left arm blocked Tang Yu's leg.
Tang Yu was forced to step back. He was shocked, how could his master's arm be so hard?
He let out a sigh of relief and looked at Su Han with fear in his eyes.
Su Han couldn't move because of Gu An's grip. Gu An squeezed hard and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
"Wake up!"
Gu An shouted. Su Han's body trembled, and the hatred in his eyes began to fade.
Wu Xin, who was standing not far away, was shocked.
Eldest Senior Brother was so fast!
Although Gu An had reached Mortal Realm Stage 9, he was still not strong in their eyes, mainly because Gu An always belittled himself.
Gu An's move just now refreshed Wu Xin's understanding.
He suddenly felt that his Eldest Senior Brother was not simple.
Xiao Chuan was used to it. Gu An had also defeated Meng Lang in the past.
Maybe Gu An's spirit root was mediocre, but in Xiao Chuan's mind, Gu An's fighting ability was very strong, at least he was reliable.
The other disciples were also shocked by Gu An's move. It was the first time they saw Gu An fight, and he could easily suppress Mortal Realm Stage 7 Tang Yu and Su Han.
Zhen Qin was the first to cheer, breaking the silence. The others followed.
"Master, you are so strong!"
"Second Senior Brother, wake up!"
"Master, has Second Senior Brother gone mad?"
"It's all Eldest Senior Brother's fault. He had to make fun of Second Senior Brother. I've never seen Second Senior Brother so angry."
The disciples were all talking at once while Gu An stared at Su Han.
Su Han gasped for air and his body suddenly collapsed like a pile of mud. However, his right hand was grabbed by Gu An and he could not fall to the ground.
He raised his head and looked at Gu An weakly. He said weakly, "Master … I …"
Before he could finish, his neck tilted and he fainted.
Gu An asked two disciples to help Su Han back to the house while he turned to look at Tang Yu.
Facing his master's gaze, Tang Yu's face turned red. He didn't know how to explain himself, but he felt wronged. After all, he was injured.
"Let's go back to the house to stop the bleeding first," Gu An said expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Tang Yu hurriedly bowed and left.
Gu An looked at the others and said, "Why are you still here? Aren't you going to cultivate today?"
With that, he turned around and walked towards the loft.
The disciples looked at his back and looked at each other.
Although Gu An didn't say anything harsh, they all thought that Gu An was angry.
Little did they know that Gu An was just not in the mood to preach.
That night, all the disciples in the valley had their own thoughts and couldn't calm down.
Gu An stayed alone in the loft. In the latter half of the night, he felt several powerful divine senses pass by.
His battle with Lin Futian had attracted the attention of the Supreme Mystery Sect.
The next morning.
Su Han came to visit Gu An to apologize.
"What's the use of apologizing to me? I'm not the one who got hurt," Gu An looked at him and said calmly.
Su Han gritted his teeth and said, "He made fun of my sword technique first."
Gu An asked, "Then did you tell him the origin of your sword technique?"
"I …"
"You and Tang Yu entered the Medicine Valley on the same day. You have the best relationship. It's not like you don't know him. He speaks carelessly, but his nature is not bad."
Gu An's tone was a bit harsh. After all, they had been together for so many years, and he didn't want his disciple to turn against him.
He didn't forcibly stop Su Han from continuing to cultivate the Heaven Spite Divine Sword. This kind of thing couldn't be stopped at all. If he stopped him, perhaps even the master-disciple relationship would be lost.
Su Han recalled his years with Tang Yu and couldn't help but feel guilty.
At first, Tang Yu only made fun of his sword technique. He was already depressed because he couldn't cultivate the Heaven Spite Divine Sword, so when they quarreled, Tang Yu was also angered and said more and more unpleasant things, which made him angry and turned him into a demon.
Su Han took a deep breath and said seriously, "Master, I was wrong. I'll go find Eldest Senior Brother later."
Gu An said, "Don't wait. Go now. I have to see the herbs."
He stood up and walked towards Su Han.
The two walked out of the loft one after the other. Su Han closed the door behind him and followed Gu An's footsteps. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, aren't you going to ask me why I lost control of myself last night?"
Gu An didn't look back. "It's probably related to your Heaven Spite Divine Sword. This sword technique was passed down to you by your father. Whether you cultivate it or not, Master has no right to decide. Think carefully about what is most important in your heart."
Su Han's footsteps slowed. He stood in front of the stairs and stared blankly at Gu An's back.
What was most important?
Gu An didn't have the time to worry about his disciples' conflicts. He had already said what he needed to say. If they didn't get along well, then he would have them leave the Profound Valley and never meet again.
Gu An began to check the herbs in each garden to see which ones were close to maturity.
He had to save up a hundred thousand years of life as soon as possible, so he directly harvested the herbs that were close to maturity.
Of course, Gu An didn't touch the herbs that were far from maturity. He wasn't crazy enough to destroy his own foundation.
Now he had many ways to collect life, so he didn't panic.
…
Above the mountain forest, cultivators stood on ritual implements and floated in the air. Looking down, there were disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall searching in the forest. Ye Lan was among them.
Chu Jingfeng stood on a flying sword. His right sleeve fluttered in the wind. His whole person exuded an aura of vicissitudes, no longer as high-spirited as before.
An old man flew over on a gourd. He handed the leaf in his hand to Chu Jingfeng and said, "It should be the Flying Leaf Sword Immortal. The Thousand Yin Sect's Branch Leader Lin Futian's Wine Soul Gourd was found nearby. There are the souls of fifteen disciples of the Supreme Mystery Sect inside."
Chu Jingfeng took the leaf and looked at it carefully. The leaf's surface was covered with small sword marks. At first glance, it was impossible to see.
He pondered and said, "In other words, the Flying Leaf Sword Immortal is really from the same sect as us?"
The old man nodded and said, "It should be so. The attack on Zuo Yijian before should be a factional dispute. Judging from his ability to easily kill Lin Futian, if he wanted to kill Zuo Yijian, Zuo Yijian wouldn't have survived."
Chu Jingfeng was silent.
The old man looked at his fluttering right sleeve and said, "Jingfeng, let go of the knot in your heart and reattach your arm as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you keep practicing with your left hand, it will be difficult to change the habit in the future."
"Why should I? If the Flying Leaf Sword Immortal can use a leaf as a sword, why should I use my right hand to hold the sword?" Chu Jingfeng asked.
Hearing this, the old man shook his head and smiled bitterly.
In the mountain forest.
Ye Lan stood in the gully. She looked at the end of the gully as if it led to the end of the world. Her eyes were full of shock.
"I heard that it was the Flying Leaf Sword Immortal who attacked. This horrible scene was caused by a leaf." A female disciple walked over and said in amazement.
The other disciples around were also amazed by the power of the Flying Leaf Sword Immortal. Ye Lan was also fascinated.
Just how high did he have to reach in order to have such terrifying strength?
Ye Lan turned her head and looked in another direction. Her eyes were filled with worry.
…
Since Lin Futian's death, a group of cultivators flew over the Xuan Valley every few days. Most of them were in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Gu An occasionally saw Ye Lan's figure.
She didn't come down to visit Gu An. It was as if she was just passing by.
But she flew over the Xuan Valley four times in a month. How could Gu An not know her intentions?
"This girl …"
Gu An stood in front of the window and looked at the cultivators flying away. His heart felt warm.
He called out his attribute panel and looked at his 99,990 years of lifespan. His hands clenched in his sleeves.
He was going to succeed!
Tonight, he was going to break through to the next realm!
Because of this month's forced harvest, the next year's lifespan harvest would decrease. But after another year, it should recover and continue to grow.
He also deliberately left ten years of lifespan space, waiting to secretly harvest it at night.
He wanted to enjoy the feeling of spending his lifespan!
Seeing that it was still early, Gu An couldn't sit still, so he went downstairs.
When he came to the courtyard, he saw Su Han practicing swordsmanship on the eastern mountain peak. Since the conflict that night, Su Han had become isolated. No one dared to disturb him for fear that he would go crazy.
Tang Yu and Su Han's relationship had recovered. After learning about the origin of the Heaven Hatred Divine Sword, Tang Yu apologized to Su Han. But after that, he cultivated even harder.
Although he apologized, he didn't want to lose to Su Han again. After all, he was the Eldest Senior-apprentice Brother.
Gu An came to the wooden fence of the garden and looked up with a smile on his face.
"Master, why are you so happy?" Zhen Qin jogged over and asked curiously.
Gu An rubbed her head and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Don't tell me I don't smile enough? "
Zhen Qin laughed and said, "Master, since you're in a good mood today, why don't you teach me Residual Wind Kick?"
Gu An asked in surprise, "Don't you hate practicing swordsmanship and legs? Why did you change?"
"I also want to become a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall like Martial Uncle Ye Lan!" Zhen Qin clenched her fists and said excitedly.
It turned out that Wu Xin and Xiao Chuan had also seen Ye Lan's figure. They sighed with emotion, and their words were heard by Zhen Qin, who was weeding nearby. Hearing that Ye Lan's robe belonged to the Law Enforcement Hall, Zhen Qin worshipped her.
Gu An smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll teach you."
It was good to send this girl away as soon as possible. She always disturbed him when he was reading!
Just like this, Gu An began to teach Zhen Qin how to cultivate Residual Wind Kick.
When night fell and all the disciples returned to their rooms, Gu An secretly left the Profound Valley. Before he left, he went to the garden and picked two third-tier herbs.
