In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 487 Ten Thousand Heart Candle Dragon Fruit

Abbess Miejue asked, "Is it all taken care of?"

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "It's been resolved."

"That person's name is Jiangnan Yue,"

Abbess Juechen raised an eyebrow suddenly, “Three thousand feet of white hair, the moon over Jiangnan?”

Gu Shaoan nodded and then recounted Jiang Nanyue's story.

His narrative is concise and clear, explaining everything from the initial encounter between Jiangnan Yue and Sun Baifa to the subsequent conflict and the final outcome.

After learning that the conflict was just an accident and not specifically aimed at the Emei Sect, the expressions of the group softened.

As for how Gu Shaoan dealt with Jiang Nanyue, none of them asked.

Everyone present knew Gu Shaoan very well.

Knowing his personality and style of doing things well, she naturally understood that Gu Shaoan either didn't act at all, or when he did, he wouldn't hold back.

Since he personally took charge of this matter, Jiang Nanyue's fate was already sealed.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Gu Shaoan changed the subject and said, "Master, in a few days, I will prepare to set off for the Great Sui Kingdom."

Upon hearing Gu Shaoan's words, Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan's eyes lit up, but then their gazes dimmed again.

Because of the Azure Dragon Society, the Emei Sect has not recruited any new disciples after becoming a first-class power, resulting in a severe shortage of manpower.

Therefore, some time ago, Abbess Miejue had already assigned a task to the two women: in the coming period, Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan would need to patrol various prefectures with Miejue, Juechen, Juejue, and others, while selecting suitable orphans to send to Emei.

Moreover, the two women's natural talents had already reached an unparalleled level. Abbess Miejue had long ago assigned Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan cultivation tasks in order to help them enter the stage of Condensing Yuan and Forming Gang as soon as possible.

Naturally, he could not travel to the Sui Dynasty with Gu Shaoan.

Taking in their reactions, Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "This time I'm not going sightseeing. Once everything is stable, I can travel all over not only the Nine Provinces, but also the Divine Land."

With Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan's current potential, it won't be difficult for them to reach the Celestial Realm in the future.

There's plenty of time; there's no need to rush.

The two were both very intelligent and naturally wouldn't care about this momentary pleasure.

They all nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan were easily coaxed, Abbess Miejue and Juechen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.

Then Abbess Miejue asked, "What do you need on your trip to the Great Sui Dynasty?"

Gu Shaoan replied, "Everything else is fine, but this time I would like to bring Junior Sister Jiangxue along."

"Jiangxue?"

Upon hearing Gu Shaoan's request, Miejue, Juechen, and the nearby Juejue all looked astonished.

After a moment of surprise, Mei Jiangxue's eyes brightened.

Gu Shaoan explained, "There is a place in the Great Sui Dynasty called Wanzhang Valley. The valley is filled with miasma and poisonous insects all year round, but rare flowers and herbs often grow in this miasma-filled place."

"As far as I know, there is a very rare fruit called the Myriad Heart Candle Dragon Fruit in this Valley of Ten Thousand Miasma. If it is used in medicine and refined into the Nine-Turn Candle Heart Pill, it can enhance the spirit and energy of martial artists."

"With this pill, not only Juechen and Juequan, but even senior sisters and junior sisters can improve their essence, energy and spirit, lay a more solid foundation, and shorten the time needed to step into the Condensation Yuan Formation Gang stage."

"However, the Wanxin Zhulong Fruit is formed from the flowering and fruiting of the Wanxin Zhulong Flower. The Wanxin Zhulong Flower is extremely yin and cold, but the requirements for fruiting are extremely special. In order for this flower to bear fruit, it needs to be nourished with poison, as well as extremely yang and strong blood and the blood of a pure virgin."

“Jiang Xue has been cultivating diligently on the mountain for the past few years, and has only gone out once with her Uncle Juejue. She has had less experience, so I thought I would take Jiang Xue on a trip to broaden her horizons.”

After he finished speaking, the others understood why Gu Shaoan wanted to bring Mei Jiangxue along.

Without hesitation, Abbess Wujue said, "That's good! With Shao'an leading the way, you can teach Jiangxue martial arts along the way."

As for Abbess Wu, she was good at fighting enemies, but she really didn't have much talent when it came to teaching disciples.

This can be seen from the other disciples of Abbess Wujue in the past.

Gu Shaoan, however, was different.

Looking at Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan, who grew up with Gu Shaoan and are excellent in martial arts and interpersonal skills, one can tell that Gu Shaoan is skilled at teaching people.

Originally, Abbess Wujue had also planned to have Gu Shaoan spend more time with Mei Jiangxue.

However, as Gu Shaoan's strength increased, a consensus had emerged in the minds of Abbess Miejue and Abbess Juechen many years ago.

The world is vast, but Gu Shaoan's cultivation is the greatest.

In addition, one thing after another has happened in the past few years, which has kept Gu Shaoan from finding the time.

Now that Gu Shaoan is willing to take the initiative to take care of Mei Jiangxue for a period of time, Abbess Zhuanjue is naturally overjoyed.

In response, Abbess Miejue said, "With you taking care of Jiangxue, I am naturally at ease."

As she spoke, Abbess Miejue turned to Mei Jiangxue and said, "This time, you'll be traveling with your senior brother. Remember to listen to Shao'an and observe and learn as much as you can along the way."

Seeing that Abbess Miejue agreed, Mei Jiangxue said with delight, "This disciple will follow the teachings of Master Uncle." After giving instructions to Mei Jiangxue, Abbess Miejue turned to look at Gu Shaoan.

"Although you are strong now, it is always better to be more careful when you are out and about. Before you leave, remember to take some extra gold and silver from the storeroom. Don't mistreat yourself."

Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "Master, rest assured, I understand."

Three days later.

At dawn, the sun rises.

Golden sunlight bathed the earth, dispelling the morning mist.

On Mount Emei, everything was shrouded in the hazy morning light.

The moment Gu Shaoan stepped out of the West Garden, Mei Jiangxue was already waiting for him on the path outside the West Garden.

Several years have passed, and Mei Jiangxue is now in her twenties. Dressed in a simple blue robe, she exudes an air of ethereal beauty, somewhat resembling Zhou Zhiruo.

However, the difference is that Zhou Zhiruo's beauty is a kind of pure and elegant beauty, while Mei Jiangxue's beauty is a kind of pure elegance with an added sense of aloofness that keeps people at a distance.

However, as Mei Jiangxue's gaze shifted to Gu Shaoan, that sense of distance that seemed to emanate from her very bones vanished instantly. A bright light shone in her eyes, as if the whole world had come alive because of Gu Shaoan's presence.

After taking a few quick steps to greet her, Mei Jiangxue greeted her with a beaming smile, "Senior Brother."

As she spoke, Mei Jiangxue raised her fair and slender hand and took the bundle from Gu Shaoan's shoulder.

There wasn't much in the bundle, just Gu Shaoan's change of clothes.

Gu Shaoan did not stop her, letting Mei Jiangxue take the bundle and sling it over his shoulder. Looking at the graceful Mei Jiangxue in front of him, even Gu Shaoan found it hard to connect the ethereal and beautiful figure before him with the pitiful, lame beggar six years ago.

This made Gu Shaoan feel somewhat dazed, suddenly realizing that time really flies by and life is like a fleeting moment.

"Let's go."

Collecting his thoughts, Gu Shaoan spoke softly, and the two of them set off together, using their lightness skills to head down Mount Emei. The two figures swept through the mountains like two gusts of wind, their speed astonishing.

Early April.

In the southeast of the Great Wei Dynasty, in Nanshan Prefecture.

Unlike ordinary prefectures which are built on plains or basins.

The entire city of Nanshan Prefecture was built against the mountain.

The city streets are not flat, but meander upwards along the undulating terrain. Entering from the south gate, the first thing you see is a series of houses, arranged like steps, each one higher than the last.

Like Yuzhou Prefecture, it is a typical mountain city.

However, compared to the other prefectures we passed through, although Nanshan Prefecture was prosperous, the hurried martial artists and the emaciated beggars in the streets and alleys made people feel the desolation beneath the prosperity of Nanshan Prefecture.

As noon approached, Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue, wearing straw hats and white veils covering their faces, entered the city.

If they were in any other prefecture, the straw hats they wore alone would have made them stand out from the crowd.

However, in this Nanshan Prefecture, there were many people on the street who were carrying weapons, all of whom, like the two of them, wore bamboo hats and had their faces covered by the veils hanging down from the hats.

After walking through several bustling streets, the two arrived at a reasonably sized inn.

After the two entered the inn, the waiter warmly greeted them and led them upstairs to a seat by the railing.

This location offers a wide view, allowing you to clearly see everything on the street below.

After Gu Shaoan ordered a few dishes and the waiter left, Mei Jiangxue took off her bamboo hat, revealing her beautiful and refined face.

Her gaze swept over the warriors hurrying along the street below, each carrying a weapon, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.

Mei Jiangxue couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, isn't Nanshan Prefecture within the sphere of influence of the Hengshan Sect, one of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects? Why is the security around here so bad? Doesn't the Hengshan Sect care?"

Mei Jiangxue knew that not all places in the Great Wei Kingdom had disciples patrolling and maintaining order in each prefecture, unlike the Emei Sect or Wudang Sect, which had their own territories.

But along the way, I have never encountered anything like Nanshan Prefecture.

On the way to Nanshan Prefecture, in just a hundred miles, we witnessed several battles between martial artists, and even some martial artists acting as bandits who robbed people on the road.

Despite having a second-rate power in charge, the surrounding area is in such a chaotic state.

Although none of these people have reached the level of returning to the innate realm, the chaos is so great that it doesn't seem like a prefecture with a second-rate power in charge.

Gu Shaoan slowly said, "If the Hengshan Sect were as it is, the environment in Nanshan Prefecture would not be so bad. I'm afraid the master of Nanshan Prefecture is no longer the Hengshan Sect."

Mei Jiangxue looked at Gu Shaoan with confusion and said, "Jiangxue doesn't understand what Senior Brother means."

Just as Gu Shaoan was about to speak, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Waiter, three catties of braised pork, two side dishes, and a jar of aged wine."

As soon as the sound reached his ears, Gu Shaoan raised an eyebrow slightly.
