If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 53 So-called Comprehension, Gu An's Fury
In the evening, the sun sets.

Gu An stood on the cliff, looking down at the Medicine Valley in front of him, a satisfied expression on his face.

Ahead were a series of not-too-high mountains, between which lay a vast valley, stretching for several miles long and two or three miles wide. The valley's edge was lined with trees, which acted as a natural barrier, protecting it from the wind and waves.

Gu Yu stood beside him and said, "There are inner disciples' caves nearby, and there's more than one. As long as you don't leave the area within a hundred miles, you won't encounter any demonic beasts."

Gu An nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.

What he saw was not a valley of medicine, but an endless stream of lifespan figures.

Gu Yu patted Gu An on the shoulder and then flew away on his sword. Gu An then leaped up and flew towards the Medicine Valley. Visible waves of wind swirled around his limbs, which was the Wind Control Technique.

Gu Yu, who was riding a flying sword, glanced back, raised his eyebrows slightly, and showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he did not turn around.

After landing, Gu An first walked to the entrance of the valley, where there was a stone tablet, bare and without any inscription.

He used his finger as a sword and carved four characters with the energy of the sword.

The Third Medicine Valley!

The name is so simple because he will have more medicine valleys in the future.

Looking at his handwriting, Gu An was very satisfied. He had practiced calligraphy a lot in order to write books, and his handwriting already had a sharp edge, exuding a kind of vigor.

After admiring the handwriting for a while, Gu An began looking for a place to build a loft.

He planned to set up the teleportation array first.

Dusk eventually passed, and night gradually fell.

Beside the campfire, Gu An sat on a rock, flipping through a book in his hand. It was given to him by Ji Xiaoyu and contained instructions on how to set up the teleportation array she had provided.

It must be said that the development of cultivation in this world is indeed very advanced. Reading this book is like reading an instruction manual, but a simplified version. The teleportation array given by Ji Xiaoyu has already been set with restrictions, and he only needs to set it up according to the order in the book.

Gu An planned to stay up all night to build the teleportation array platform. Once the teleportation array was successfully built, he would lead several disciples to plant the seeds.

Activating the teleportation array requires spirit stones. He is very rich now. Not to mention the spirit stone income from the Investiture of the Gods, Gu Yu just gave him a thousand high-grade spirit stones, which is enough for him to squander for a long time.

After a night, Gu An successfully set up the teleportation platform and immediately flew away on his sword.

After returning to Xuan Valley, he set up a teleportation platform next to his pavilion, and his commotion attracted all the disciples to come and watch.

When Xiaochuan asked him what he was doing, he didn't hide anything.

Upon hearing that Gu An was about to take over another medicine valley and build a teleportation array, all the disciples became interested and asked questions one after another.

Gu An answered them while setting up the array platform.

It wasn't until noon that Gu An successfully set it up. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he placed spirit stones into the grooves of the array pillars. After placing the spirit stones, he then injected spiritual power into the activation mechanism.

Rumbling--

The teleportation array was activated, causing the ground to tremble slightly. On the array platform, two array pillars emitted intense light, which converged to form a light screen.

Gu An turned around, glanced at everyone, and said, "Wu Xin, go to the outer sect and recruit three menial disciples. Su Han, Zhen Qin, and Ye Yan come with me. The rest of you stay and guard Xuan Valley."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Qin and the other two immediately stepped forward excitedly and followed Gu An into the teleportation array.

Before long, the teleportation light barrier dissipated, and the array returned to calm.

the other side.

Inside the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An began instructing his three disciples to clear weeds, while he took charge of building the houses.

Su Han used a sword, Ye Yan used a gun, and Zhen Qin used her legs to weed.

Ever since Luo Hun taught Ye Yan a set of spear techniques, he couldn't help but ask Gu An for an iron spear. This spear was bought by Gu An from the outer sect. It was not an ordinary iron spear. It could withstand spiritual power and could be considered a low-level magic weapon.

Gu An wasn't interested in marksmanship, so he didn't bother to watch Ye Yan's marksmanship.

Since practicing shooting, Ye Yan's strength has improved day by day. This is the first time Gu An has seen a true genius in Xuan Valley.

Ye Yan's cultivation level improved slowly, but his actual combat power increased rapidly. After only half a year of training with a spear, Tang Yu and Su Han, even working together, were no match for him, which greatly discouraged the two of them.

Gu An also thought about his comprehension, which is the only thing that cannot be directly improved by lifespan.

In this world, it seems that spiritual talent is not the only determining factor.

Gu An summoned Su Han, Zhen Qin, and Ye Yan with the intention of giving them some pointers. Their performance during Qiu Qianli's ordeal had earned him his favor, and he decided to nurture them and help them go further in life.

The Third Medicine Valley is located between the inner and outer sects. The spiritual energy here is more abundant, which can help them cultivate. Occasionally, Gu An can also give them special tutoring.

All three were hardworking, and they didn't rest until they finished weeding. They even secretly competed to see who could do it faster.

By the time they had cleared away all the weeds, Gu An had already built four pavilions.

The four of them gathered in front of the building to rest. Su Han looked at Ye Yan with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Ye Yan, on the other hand, was much calmer. Since he started practicing shooting, he had become increasingly reserved.

While wiping her sweat, Zhen Qin asked Gu An, "Master, this place is so big, is it enough for just the three of us?"

“Of course it’s enough. Back in the day, I managed Xuan Valley all by myself, while your Uncle Meng Lang and Uncle Li Ya were always slacking off,” Gu An said with a soft laugh.

Looking back at those little conflicts from back then, I just find them amusing, but it's a pity that the people from those days are no longer here.

After hearing this, Zhen Qin pressed Gu An for details about his past.

Su Han and Ye Yan listened attentively; they both respected Gu An greatly.

Although Ye Yan's spear technique was not taught by Gu An, he still felt indebted to his master. If it weren't for his master, why would that mysterious cultivator have come to Xuan Valley and bestowed spear technique upon him?
After chatting for half an hour, everyone went back to their work.

Three days later.

The Third Valley of Herbs is already planted with herb seeds, but it looks like a wasteland, since seeds need time to germinate and grow.

Gu An led them back to Xuan Valley to pack their belongings, and then had them move to the Third Medicine Valley. The remaining miscellaneous disciples were very curious about this, and some even wanted to go to the Third Medicine Valley, but Wu Xin stopped them.

As the master of Xuan Valley, Wu Xin cannot let anyone escape!

Gengu is his foundation!

And so, Gu An's three medicinal valleys began to operate, and his wonderful farming life began.

……

A month has passed since the planting of the third medicinal valley. Zhen Qin and the other two have been guarding the valley, while Gu An only comes to visit occasionally.

They only need to spend a little time each day checking out the various parks, and spend the rest of their time cultivating.

As evening approached, the sky turned crimson.

Zhen Qin walked out of the house, stretched, and looked radiant.

The techniques taught to her by Jiang Qiong enabled her cultivation to grow rapidly, far surpassing her previous abilities, thus her fighting spirit for cultivation reached its peak.

She turned her head and saw Ye Yan still practicing shooting on the hillside at the mouth of the valley.

"What's the use of just practicing shooting if you don't cultivate inner energy?" Zhen Qin muttered to herself. She didn't go over to join the fun, but instead took advantage of her break to look after the various areas.

This is all the result of Master's hard work.

the other side.

Ye Yan practiced shooting in the afterglow of dusk, sweat pouring down his face, but he didn't stop even though his whole body ached.

The marksmanship he was practicing was his only chance, and he didn't want to miss it, much less be a menial disciple for the rest of his life!
"The spiritual energy inside is clearly more abundant, so why not practice your spear technique in the valley?" A voice came, startling Ye Yan into turning his head to look.

A figure stood in the sky above the forest ten feet away, one foot on the treetop, his blue robes fluttering in the wind, displaying the demeanor of an immortal.

When did it appear?

Ye Yan was secretly alarmed. He put away his gun, turned around, looked at the man, and asked loudly, "What brings you here, senior?"

Gu An had said that this area was already within the inner sect's boundaries, and all cultivators encountered here should be addressed as "senior" and not be impolite.

The man in blue wasn't particularly handsome, but his eyes were so piercing that people dared not look him in the eye.

"I just happened to be passing by and saw you practicing your shooting. Your shooting skills are quite impressive; you have your own unique method of gathering qi to temper your body, which is rare."

Zhou Tongyou jumped down from the tree and then walked towards Ye Yan.

Seeing him approach, Ye Yan became very nervous. His master was not in the Medicine Valley. How should he deal with this?
"You haven't answered me yet," Zhou Tongyou reminded him, his tone calm, but the calmer he was, the greater the pressure he put on Ye Yan.

Ye Yan forced a smile and replied, "That's my master's herb valley. It was only planted a month ago, and I don't want my cultivation to affect the growth of those herbs."

"Was this marksmanship taught to you by your master?"

"No, it's a friend of Master's."

"To be able to make friends with someone like this, your master must be quite extraordinary. May I ask your master's name?"

"My master's name is Gu An."

As Ye Yan answered, he was puzzled, not understanding what the other party wanted to do.

Zhou Tongyou stopped, raised his hand, and said, "Shall we spar? I won't use spiritual power or magical artifacts; I'll just compare our techniques. How about it?"

Ye Yan frowned, looking very hesitant.

"You're not scared anymore, are you?"

Zhou Tongyou's words ignited Ye Yan's fighting spirit. He wasn't afraid of the great demonic cultivators back then, so why would he be afraid of this person in front of him!
……

At noon, Gu An arrived at the Third Medicine Valley through a teleportation array. He first scanned all the areas with his divine sense and, after finding no problems, looked at his disciples.

Soon, he was drawn to Ye Yan, who was practicing shooting at the mouth of the valley.

As he walked, Ye Yan noticed him approaching, turned slightly to the side, and faced away from him.

"Yan'er, how did you get hurt?" Gu An walked over and asked.

Ye Yan hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Gu An, only to see that his face was covered in purple and blue marks, and there was even a handprint on his left cheek.

He told Gu An what had happened the previous evening, and Gu An was furious upon hearing it.

How dare someone bully his disciple!
"What's his name? Will he come again?"

"I don't know, he didn't say. He only said that he would come to see me when he's done with his work."

"Don't be afraid, your master will back you up!"

Gu An patted Ye Yan on the shoulder and then took out some healing pills for him to take.

For the next few days, Gu An stayed in the Third Medicine Valley, but the person who had brutally beaten Ye Yan did not show up.

However, after he finished tidying up his cave dwelling outside the main gate, he returned to find that Ye Yan had been beaten up again.

The man punched him and left.

This cycle repeated itself, and over the next two months, Ye Yan was beaten up four times, each time without Gu An present.

Gu Andu suspected that the other party was deliberately avoiding him.

At noon that day, Gu An was reading a book under a tree. Below him was a hillside that connected to the mouth of the valley, from which he could see Ye Yan practicing his shooting.

Sudden.

Gu An sensed something, raised an eyebrow, and thought to himself, "They've finally arrived!"
