Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

In the forest, Gu An sat in meditation under a tree, leaning against the trunk, playing with the Seven Stars Mirror.

The Seven Stars Mirror, which emitted an aura rivaling that of a Carefree Primordial Immortal, became small and exquisite in his hands, looking nothing like an Immortal Path Supreme Treasure.

Snowflakes fell through the gaps in the leaves, landing on him and melting into vapor.

Seven Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals had suddenly fallen, causing the heavens and the earth to mourn, and snowflakes continued to fall.

While holding the Seven Stars Mirror, Gu An also used his divine sense to trace the Primordial Daoist Talisman.

He was very curious about Ji Xiaoyu's ancestry and divine skills.

When the Primordial Daoist Talisman fled, he specifically used his divine sense to follow it. Although the Primordial Daoist Talisman crossed the rules of heaven and earth, hiding in places unreachable by living beings, he could still track it.

He noticed that the Primordial Daoist Talisman did not leave the continent but returned to the Ji Family. However, it was not to the branch family where Ji Xiaoyu was born, but to a branch family located in the Great Jiang Dynasty.

Gu An thought of Ji Xiaoyu's decisive appearance earlier and felt a little sentimental.

He did not expect Ji Xiaoyu to go all out directly. That mysterious shadow should be her past life. Ji Xiaoyu seemed to be practicing a method similar to the Primordial Reincarnation Skill. The difference was that while the Primordial Reincarnation Skill accumulated qi fortune and talent through reincarnation, Ji Xiaoyu already possessed great power herself, and she could even summon this power, crossing ages and reincarnations.

What would Ji Xiaoyu be like at her peak?

He did not know.

He just felt it was a pity for Ji Xiaoyu to fall in this life.

"Third Miss, I hope you have good fortune in your next life and are no longer coerced by your family," Gu An thought.

Seeing that the Primordial Daoist Talisman still remained in the Ji Family, he was very puzzled about the relationship between Ji Xiaoyu and the Ji Family. If it was only a relationship in this life, why not reincarnate into a different family?

Perhaps he could ask the soul of the branch family, Ji Zhan.

But after thinking about it, he decided against it.

That was Ji Xiaoyu and the Ji Family's destiny. Why should he interfere, and what reason did he have to investigate?

Gu An treated everyone around him like this, not prying into their pasts, but cherishing their current companionship.

After this battle, he looked forward to meeting Ji Xiaoyu again in the future.

By then, would Ji Xiaoyu be another person, or still the Third Miss of this life?

The mirror of the Seven Stars Mirror reflected Gu An's handsome face. His eyes seemed to cross the vast ocean of time, reaching the other side of destiny.

Gu An focused on the Seven Stars Mirror. This was a truly well-preserved Immortal Path Supreme Treasure, even stronger than Divine Exotic City.

Even after being attacked by his mana, the Seven Stars Mirror did not develop a single crack. Instinct told him that the Seven Stars Mirror could become even stronger, it was just that the Realm Master of Heavenly Meaning and others could only unleash it to that level.

He connected his mind with the Seven Stars Immortal Spirit. Immediately, the Seven Stars Mirror began to change, its edges transforming from the shape of a divine beast to floral patterns, and its overall color turned dim.

At first glance, it was just an ancient and plain mirror, nothing resembling a supreme treasure.

He revealed a satisfied smile, then placed the Seven Stars Mirror into his bosom.

He stood up, looking at the still falling heavy snow, but feeling that the sky had become brighter than before.

"It's time to go home."

...

The summer snowfall lasted for seven days. When the heavenly phenomena dissipated, news about the Seven Stars Spirit Realm had not yet spread, but the Supreme Sect had already been alarmed. To be precise, the entire Immortal Cultivation world of the Three Dynasties was sending people to investigate, and there were even continuous streams of overseas cultivators arriving, heading for the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.

But this time, no Great Cultivator dared to fly over the Supreme Sect.

A great storm was brewing.

After Gu An returned to the Supreme Sect, he acted as if nothing had happened, occasionally checking the Primordial Daoist Talisman to see if Ji Xiaoyu had reincarnated.

Life remained leisurely, but Gu An felt more relaxed than before, at least the Seven Stars Spirit Realm was no more!

That's right, it was going to be gone!

Gu An's divine sense surveyed the ocean, seeing the cultivators from the Star Sea Congregations chasing down the Seven Stars Spirit Realm cultivators everywhere. It wasn't just the Star Sea Congregations, other major forces were also following to devour the Seven Stars Spirit Realm's territory and qi fortune, showing him the scene of survival of the fittest.

One day, someone came to visit Gu An.

It was none other than the Nine-Finger Divine Lord, who served as a guest elder of the Supreme Sect. Although this man was of the Second Level of the Wandering Immortal Realm, his maximum lifespan reached 800,000 years, and his current lifespan was 180,000 years. He suspected the Nine-Finger Divine Lord had once fallen from a higher realm.

When the Nine-Finger Divine Lord first joined the Supreme Sect, it was Gu An who had shown him around, leading to their friendship. Chu Jingfeng was still following him for training.

Under the tree, Gu An and the Nine-Finger Divine Lord sat face to face, with An Xin helping to pour tea.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord smiled and nodded at An Xin, then chatted with Gu An, praising him for managing the Medicine Valley in an orderly manner.

Since meeting Gu An, his heart had become calm.

Overseas, no matter where he went, the air was filled with scheming and power struggles, but Gu An's Medicine Valley had a sense of tranquility, and he felt this atmosphere was related to Gu An himself. He had also inquired about Gu An from Chu Jingfeng, and Chu Jingfeng's evaluation of Gu An was the same as his own.

"He definitely wouldn't imagine that I have the cultivation level of the Second Level of the Wandering Immortal Realm, also it's probable he hasn't heard of the term Wandering Immortal in this short life."

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord held the tea bowl, looking at Gu An with a smile.

Gu An raised his bowl as well and smiled back at him.

"If this old fellow knew I was at the Ninth Layer of the Carefree Primordial Immortal, could he remain this calm?" Gu An thought, finding it very amusing.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord suddenly said, "Lately the world has been unstable, you need to be careful, try to stay out of the valley as much as possible."

Hearing this, Gu An frowned and asked, "Senior, has something major happened?"

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord hesitated for a moment, then softly said, "To be honest, the holy land of this continent, the Seven Stars Spirit Realm, is about to collapse. This will inevitably affect the balance of both the continent and the ocean. Without the pressure of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm, it's inevitable that more Great Cultivators will invade this continent."

Gu An asked in surprise, "How could that be possible? That's a holy land!"

The disadvantages of destroying the Seven Stars Spirit Realm hadn't escaped Gu An's consideration.

But there were pros and cons to everything. Even if the Seven Stars Spirit Realm wasn't destroyed, who knew what calamity it planned next?

If it weren't for him, the Immortal Cultivation World of the Three Dynasties and the beings of the continent would have long perished in the demon calamity. Gu An had a clear conscience.

Considering his own safety, he only thought about being a savior!

He never shouldered the world's safety. He was first a man, then an immortal.

"It's indeed incredible. That was a colossus standing for hundreds of thousands of years. I don't know who did it..." the Nine-Finger Divine Lord sighed.

Gu An asked, "Since the world is about to fall into chaos, why doesn't senior stay in the Supreme Sect? The ocean is surely more dangerous than the continent, isn't it?"

He hoped to fully bring the Nine-Finger Divine Lord into the Supreme Sect's camp, so he wouldn't have to deal with some minor threats.

Truth be told, killing didn't have that much appeal to him, compared to the longevity offered by medicinal herbs.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord nodded and said, "I'm planning to stay for a while, because I have a suspicion in my mind."

"What suspicion?"

"Haha, that I cannot tell you, lest you get entangled in karma."

"Really? Then please don't say it. Though I'm unaware of your realm, your world is definitely not one I can tread."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Gu An's words, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord laughed heartily.

Throughout his life, he had met many people, but few were as calm and open-minded as Gu An.

Although he hadn't revealed his true cultivation level, even his superficial level was enough to make most Core Formation Realm cultivators go out of their way to please him. Gu An was different. Their friendship was one of a gentleman's, without any interests involved, making him feel very comfortable.

Gu An didn't listen to him much. From time to time, he would talk about amusing things in his valley. Though plain, they had a unique flavor to the Nine-Finger Divine Lord.

Having stood atop the clouds for so long, occasionally looking at the lives of mortals was quite nice.

Later, Gu An invited the Nine-Finger Divine Lord to play a game of Go. After explaining the rules just once, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord understood.

At first, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord's moves were messy, but after about forty moves, he started to develop his own strategy. From blind defense to strategic preparation, he improved rapidly.

Gu An became interested and started playing seriously.

In the end, he won.

The defeated Nine-Finger Divine Lord was not angry. Instead, he looked at the board with interest, savoring Gu An's strategies.

"Interesting, let's play again," the Nine-Finger Divine Lord said, looking up.

Gu An then called out to Xiaochuan, who was passing by, asking him to play, stating that Xiaochuan was better than him, making Xiaochuan raise his chin.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord didn't care who his opponent was as long as they knew how to play.

Thus, the two began to battle on the Go board, attracting other disciples to watch the excitement.

Yang Jian stood by Gu An, watching the game. He wasn't interested in Go; he preferred Chinese chess with its more straightforward and intense battles.

However, he could sense the Nine-Finger Divine Lord's profound aura, indicating that this person was very powerful, prompting him to watch the excitement.

They played until dusk, and Xiaochuan was dazed.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord stood up contentedly, looked at Gu An, and said, "Alright, I need to go to the main city of the sect. I'll come back later for another game. I think this Go contains the true meaning of Dao. Good game!"

His gaze fell involuntarily on Yang Jian.

"Oh?"

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord's eyes changed immediately.

Although Yang Jian had concealed his cultivation, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord could tell at a glance that Yang Jian's physique was special.

Gu An quickly said, "You already took away Chu Jingfeng, don't even think about taking my disciple. He is with me for life."

The surrounding disciples looked at Yang Jian with complex expressions.

Could Yang Jian really be a genius?

Yang Jian echoed, "That's right. I will serve my master for life and will never acknowledge another master."

Next to him, An Xin showed a look of envy, thinking of her own master in her youth.

If she had extraordinary talent, would her master have been willing to keep her by his side? .net

But then she let it go, thinking her senior An Hao had exceptional talent but still couldn't stay with the master.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord gave Yang Jian a deep look, then turned his gaze to Gu An and said, "Your disciple is indeed extraordinary. Make sure he stays in the Medicine Valley and doesn't descend the mountain. Otherwise, he might cause you trouble."

After speaking, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord leaped into the air, like a white crane flying toward the horizon.

His words made the surrounding disciples look at Yang Jian with even more curiosity, but Yang Jian remained calm and indifferent.

Cause my master trouble?

Provoking my master, that would be the real trouble!
