Chapter 47: Demonic Shadow Divine Technique, First Display of Divine Power
Gu Zong asked Gu An to write a book about his deeds. Gu An naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, he wasn't going to write about Gu Zong as the main character of the Investiture of the Gods.
In exchange, Gu Zong would promote Gu An to an outer disciple and give him a medicine valley twice the size of the Profound Valley.
Half a year later, Gu Yu would bring the things to Gu An.
Gu An felt that writing a book in exchange for a medicine valley was not a loss. After all, he had nothing to do.
That night, Du Ye returned to his room and asked Gu An why Gu Zong was looking for him.
"It's a secret of the sect. Are you sure you want to know?" Gu An asked meaningfully. Du Ye was so scared that he trembled and didn't dare to ask again.
The next morning, the guests of the Ji Residence left. A cultivator found Gu An and handed him a storage bag, saying that it was from the Third Miss. He scanned it with his divine sense and found that it was full of array materials.
Gu An hesitated whether to remind Ji Xiaoyu or not. However, when he saw that the number of cultivators in the Ji Residence had increased, and there were even many cultivators meditating on the eaves, he knew that the Ji Family had sensed danger.
Since that was the case, he didn't need to worry.
At noon, Gu An left with Du Ye and returned to the outer sect city through the transportation array.
After bidding farewell to Du Ye, Gu An rushed to the Profound Valley.
He had already begun to plan the planting of the second medicine valley in his mind.
In addition to Li Xuandao's medicine valley, he would have three medicine valleys. In the future, his lifespan and income would definitely skyrocket.
Even though he had reached the first level of the Void Crossing Realm, Gu An wouldn't complain about his lifespan. There were definitely many levels above the Void Crossing Realm. The higher he went, the more lifespan he would need to consume.
His goal was to live forever, to reach the peak of the Immortal Cultivation path!
Stepping on the flying sword, Gu An stood in the wind, his heart filled with the dream of immortality.
When he returned to the Profound Valley, he frowned.
He landed on the flying sword and the flying sword entered his storage bag. Ye Yan, who was weeding not far away, saw him and immediately ran over.
"Master, you're finally back. Yesterday, a senior came to our medicine valley to stay temporarily." Ye Yan immediately reported.
Gu An nodded and said, "I got it. You can continue with your work."
He noticed that there were flags in the forest around the Profound Valley that were hidden in the weeds. It was obvious that this was some kind of array formation.
He first sensed the other party's aura, then pretended not to notice the array formation and walked in the direction of the cultivator's aura. Along the way, he quickly observed his own herbs.
What a guy!
There were actually six Tier 4 medicinal herbs missing!
Gu An's eyes turned cold.
The other party's cultivation was not simple. He was a Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivator. However, even if he was in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he still had to pay a price for stealing his medicinal herbs!
Gu An walked all the way to Xiao Chuan's courtyard. He saw a person refining pills in the courtyard. The pill furnace looked simple and unadorned. It was half the height of a person, and wisps of green smoke were coming out of it.
The alchemist was an old man with a stooped back and a short and fat figure. His white hair was tied behind his head with a straw rope.
[Qiu Qianli (second level of the Divine Transformation Realm): 486/930/1050]
After Gu An made sure that the other party did not hide his cultivation, he immediately went up and asked, "May I ask senior's name and where did it come from?"
His tone was very aggressive. It was completely different from his usual attitude.
Qiu Qianli stood up and turned to look at Gu An. He smiled and said, "This old man's name is Qiu Qianli. I passed by this medicinal valley and want to stay for a few days."
Gu An asked, "Senior, are you from the Supreme Mystery Sect?"
Because Ji Xiaoyu was about to form his Gold Core, he had to suspect the other party's identity.
Normally, no Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivator would come to his medicinal valley.
The disciples who were busy also cast their gazes at the courtyard. In fact, they could all feel that Qiu Qianli's origin was not simple, so when they saw Gu An return, they were relieved.
"What about you? Are you the owner of this medicinal valley?" Qiu Qianli asked with a smile.
Gu An replied, "Yes, senior, why don't you answer me?"
Qiu Qianli shook his head and laughed. He said to himself, "A Qi Refining Realm cultivator dares to speak to me in such a tone."
He suddenly squatted down and slapped the ground.
In an instant, the earth began to tremble, and the flags hidden in the mountains and forests began to tremble, bursting out with demonic energy. This demonic energy quickly rose up, forming a demonic net that covered the entire Profound Valley. Then, the demonic net became transparent, as if everything that had happened just now was just an illusion.
"What do you want?"
Gu An pretended to be panicked and asked.
The disciples in the distance felt that something was wrong, and immediately some people rushed over.
The first to arrive were Xiao Chuan and Ye Yan, followed by Wu Xin, Zhen Qin, and Su Han. Although the others rushed over, they did not dare to rashly approach. They only dared to stand outside the courtyard and watch nervously.
Su Han stood at the front, holding a sword in his hand. But judging from his trembling legs, he was very nervous.
Zhen Qin's face was pale with fright, but she still stood in front of Gu An, which made him want to laugh.
This silly girl!
Qiu Qianli's right palm was surrounded by a dense demonic aura. He slowly stood up, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. "Since the Valley Master has returned, then this old man will no longer pretend. If you want to live, then be obedient. Otherwise, this old man will peel off your skin, extract your souls, and make you beg for death!"
Feeling his terrifying aura, all the disciples were terrified.
Wu Xin plucked up his courage and asked, "We are all odd-job disciples. Even if you refine our souls, it won't do you any good. Let's talk nicely. What do you want us to do?"
He was afraid that Gu An would not be able to see through the other party's cultivation, so he spoke first.
Qiu Qian Li sneered, "You know your place. From now on, you will wait for my orders in the valley. I want to borrow some Dans from your valley. Don't even think about escaping. My array is invisible and colorless. Even if a completion level cultivator touches it, they will instantly turn into a pool of blood."
Everyone had seen the formation of the formation just now, so they naturally believed his words.
Qiu Qianli looked at Gu An and said with a mocking smile, "Valley Master, this old man will tell you now that this old man is from the Thousand Yin Sect. What will you do?"
Thousand Yin Sect!
Truly a haunting ghost …Gu An had not killed many people in his life. Other than Fu Xiong, the others were all from the Thousand Yin Sect.
Gu An pretended to be terrified and said with gritted teeth, "Senior, please forgive this junior's offense just now. As long as you don't harm my disciples, you can give me any orders. Even if you want to refine their souls, please refine mine first!"
As soon as these words came out, the disciples became anxious. However, they did not dare to make a sound for fear of angering Qiu Qianli.
Wu Xin clenched his hands in his sleeves and secretly regretted, "If I had worked hard to cultivate normally, when my cultivation technique had reached large success, how could senior brother be like this …"
Zhen Qin, Xiao Chuan, Su Han, and Ye Yan also had similar thoughts.
Qiu Qianli smiled. His smile was contemptuous.
Gu An quickly said, "Senior, I have a fifth rank herb in my house. It's especially suitable to be used as a guiding medicine. Do you need it?"
"Not bad. You are quite sensible. Go!" Qiu Qianli waved his sleeve and said.
Gu An immediately turned and ran towards his own house.
The others looked at Qiu Qianli cautiously, afraid that he would act recklessly.
Qiu Qianli picked his ears and looked at Zhen Qin. He smiled and said, "Little girl, come here and help this old man."
Seeing his malicious smile, Zhen Qin was disgusted, but she was even more terrified.
What should she do?
Based on the scene of the array just now, no one in this valley was a match for this demonic cultivator.
Just as Zhen Qin was feeling uneasy, a purple-black figure appeared out of thin air beside Qiu Qianli.
Qiu Qianli's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.
So fast!
How could it be!
Qiu Qianli was just about to attack when the other party's right hand stretched out like a sword and directly pierced his chest, lifting him into the air.
His eyes widened as he looked at the person below him in disbelief.
This was a figure surrounded by dark purple flames. His face could not be seen, as if he came from the underworld.
Wu Xin, Zhen Qin, and the others were also frightened by the sudden appearance of the mysterious figure and retreated.
"Thousand Autumns … Pavilion … Demonic Shadow Power …" Qiu Qianli trembled, his tone full of fear.
He desperately found that he could not mobilize the spiritual power in his body. The attack just now directly shattered his Golden Core, and the overbearing spiritual power suppressed his Primordial Spirit in his body, unable to come out.
The other party must be higher than the Spiritual Transformation Realm!
Gu An, who used the Great Yin Yang Change, glanced back at Wu Xin.
Wu Xin seemed to think of something, and his face changed.
Then, Gu An's right hand that pierced Qiu Qianli suddenly clenched into a fist, and a terrible sword aura erupted, instantly shattering Qiu Qianli's body, leaving only his Primordial Spirit hanging on his arm. Qiu Qianli's storage bag fell into his other hand.
Flesh and blood splattered!
Wu Xin and the others were also splashed, but they were already scared silly and had no time to react. They could only stay where they were.
"Pre …"
Qiu Qianli's Primordial Spirit trembled, but before he could finish, he was crushed by Gu An's overbearing spiritual power.
Gu An's figure disappeared into thin air.
The next second, the sound of a door being knocked open came from afar, and Gu An, who was holding a fifth level Tiger Blood Flower, jumped down from the attic's balcony.
He quickly rushed to the courtyard where Wu Xin and the others were and shouted, "Senior!
Don't act recklessly! "
He jumped over the courtyard wall and came to Zhen Qin's side. Looking at the bloodstains in the courtyard, he quickly looked back at the disciples. Seeing that no one was missing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He nervously asked, "That demon … where did he go?"
His voice was very low, as if he was afraid of being heard by Qiu Qianli.
Zhen Qin seemed to have been awakened, screamed, and then grabbed Gu An's robe, saying in a trembling voice, "Master, he's dead … he was …"
The other disciples also woke up, and turned to look in other directions, afraid that the mysterious demonic shadow would appear again.
Gu An took a while to understand what had just happened from their mouths.
It had to be said that acting was also very tiring.
Gu An ordered the disciples to be on guard and not relax.
At the same time, he secretly exerted force with his right foot, and his spiritual energy spread along the ground, destroying the invisible array.
A curtain of demonic energy suddenly appeared in the skies above the Profound Valley. Then, this mysterious demonic path array formation began to collapse. The demonic energy vanished like smoke in thin air, as if it had never existed. The autumn leaves on the mountaintop began to flutter down.
"The array has been dispelled?" Ye Yan asked cautiously.
Wu Xin took a deep breath, looked at Gu An, and said, "Senior Brother, let's talk somewhere else!"
Killing Qiu Qianli and obtaining 66 years of life was not bad.
Gu An, who was in a good mood, pretended to be confused. He hesitated for a moment but still chose to nod his head.
The two of them walked into Gu An's loft while the other disciples gathered together to discuss the situation.
After entering the pavilion, Wu Xin closed the door and turned around to look at Gu An. Gritting his teeth, he said, "The one who attacked just now should be a great cultivator from the Thousand Autumns Pavilion. He might have been sent by my father to protect me …"
