章節 36: Chapter 36 Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill, Comprehending Divine Skills
After Li Ya left, Gu An devoted himself to building Mystic Valley, and his leisurely days started to diminish because those young demon sheep were quite troublesome.
At four months old, they ran through the mountains and forests as if they were flat ground, as fast as cheetahs on Earth in his previous life. If not for the presence of cultivators in the valley, they would have long escaped.
Gu An had to study the Ziwei Array Chronicles left by Jiang Qiong, learning some basic restrictions to seal the sheepfold.
When the six-month period was up, Gu An had Wuxin bring Xiaochuan to the outer sect to recruit two more servant disciples, named Chen Hong and Zhen Xiao'er, with mediocre aptitude, which satisfied him.
The number of servant disciples in Mystic Valley reached ten, making it lively every day.
Time flies like an arrow, it passes in the blink of an eye, never to return.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
It was autumn again.
Xiaochuan was patrolling the various gardens, followed by a line of ducks, moving in a mighty formation.
Disciples sat absorbing spiritual energy on the mountain tops around Medicine Valley, and the forest would occasionally shake, from the movement of Tang Yu and Su Han chasing demon sheep.
Gu An walked out of the western forest, smiling.
He had just picked a batch of medicinal herbs, earning himself several centuries of life; he was increasingly close to ten thousand years of lifespan.
His lifespan had now reached eighty thousand years.
In three years, he had gained nearly fifty thousand years of life, mainly because the herbs he had planted for many years were maturing, and a thousand years of life were from managing exterior disciples' caves.
The small-framed Zhen Qin ran out of the forest with a bamboo basket on her back. She hurried to Gu An's side and said, "Master, can you teach me alchemy today?"
A dry leaf was still on her head, and the hair on the sides of her cheeks was a bit disheveled.
Gu An chuckled, "Of course, but you have to use your herbs. That way, you'll be more careful."
Once, Zhen Qin overheard Gu An consuming a Youth-Preserving Pill, making her interested in alchemy. She pestered him for nearly half a year.
"I've been prepared for a long time!" Zhen Qin said excitedly, hopping around Gu An like a girl who never grows up.
Whoosh—
A sound pierced the air above Mystic Valley. Gu An looked up and habitually cast a life span detection.
Another Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
This year, more than ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had passed above Mystic Valley, which made Gu An uneasy, feeling something big was about to happen.
Even the world's Outer Sect Conference back then didn't attract so many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
This won't do!
The Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill must be improved. If a great cultivator far surpassing the Nascent Soul Realm appears, what will I do if they see through my cultivation level?
Gu An decided silently.
Over the years, the Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill's enhancement to life span had dwindled, and now gaining a year's life span in half a year was a good outcome. In ten years, this skill might no longer increase his life span.
Then, Gu An took Zhen Qin back to his pavilion to start teaching her alchemy techniques.
Until late at night, Gu An sneaked into the Eight Scenic Caves.
After Jiang Qiong left, he had also explored the other six tunnels, and at the end of each, there were corpses like Meng Lang, refined by Cheng Xuandan and Jiang Qiong using different poison skills of Myriad Poison Mystic Skill.
For these poison corpses, Gu An temporarily had no intention of touching them.
He made his way to the Green Vine Tree, rolled up his sleeves, and began meditating.
At this moment, a shadow fell from the tree and burrowed into his arms.
A little black dragon!
Its body was slender, about two feet long, with a pair of dragon horns and dragon whiskers on its mouth, covered in tiny black dragon scales, and its four claws were sharp. It looked much like the dragons in ancient Huaxia legends, but with a different color.
This was the Holy Beast of the Ancient Sky Sect, the Sky Dragon!
Gu An stroked it while checking its lifespan.
[Sky Dragon (First Order): 1/965/18000]
Its lifespan has increased again!
When the Sky Dragon was born, it had only five hundred years of lifespan. Now, in just one year, its lifespan had almost doubled.
No wonder it had the potential of a Ninth Rank demon beast!
Gu An recalled the process of the Sky Dragon acknowledging him as master last year, smiling unconsciously.
When it was just born, the Sky Dragon bit him directly, causing him to angrily throw it away, and then it pitifully came over to nuzzle him.
Gu An felt the Sky Dragon didn't really acknowledge him as its master but rather recognized who its kin was through blood.
They had a bond of soul resonance, allowing him to understand its thoughts but not controlling its life and death directly.
The Sky Dragon would only serve one master in its life, indicating that although it was naturally violent, it was also extremely loyal and righteous.
"Good boy, go eat now."
Gu An took out a demon sheep he had killed from his storage bag. It was fresh from the previous morning, giving him three years of lifespan.
The Sky Dragon's eyes lit up and immediately flew aside with the demon sheep's corpse.
The demon sheep's corpse was several times larger than the Sky Dragon, but it seemed weightless in its dragon claws.
Gu An called up the attribute panel and focused on the cultivation techniques section, investing two thousand years of lifespan into the Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill.
The Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill could hide his cultivation level and aura, which was crucial; he considered it even more important than the Divine Wood Pure Yang Skill.
[You invested two thousand years of lifespan in the Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill for evolutionary cultivation]
[You cultivated the Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill for ten years, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth tempered your body, enhancing your physical Qi-Blood]
[You cultivated the Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill for a hundred years, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth tempered your body, enhancing your physical Qi-Blood]
[You cultivated the Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill for two hundred years, achieving the Peak Creation Realm in your Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill]
[You cultivated the Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill for four hundred years, one day grasping the true meaning of earth, your Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill returned to simplicity, and upgraded to the Earth Lineage Emperor Energy Skill]
...
[You cultivated the Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill for fifteen hundred years, sensing the rules of the earth, your Earth Lineage Emperor Energy Skill broke through the limits, upgraded to the Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill]
[You cultivated the Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill for eighteen hundred years, enhancing your understanding of the Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill, achieving mastery]
[You cultivated the Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill for two thousand years, achieving Peak Creation Realm understanding of the Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill, comprehending the divine skill—Mystic Yellow Dragon Might]
Line after line of prompts appeared before Gu An's eyes.
The Dragon Strength Divine Origin Skill upgraded to Earth Lineage Emperor Energy Skill and then to Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill!
It even awakened a divine skill!
Gu An was overjoyed, feeling lucky this time.
A vast amount of memory quickly flooded into his mind, immersing him in the profound Daoist sorcery knowledge.
The Sky Dragon, biting the mutton, looked back with its gem-like eyes showing curiosity.
The grass on the ground beneath Gu An emitted strands of green energy, swirling around him as he began to breathe rhythmically unconsciously, with faint dragon roars echoing.
The Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill tempered the body with the earth's essence of yellow energy, integrating the physical body with nature. The so-called dragon roar was actually the sound of the earth's roar.
After two full ancient hours, Gu An finally woke up.
He frowned as he opened his eyes.
All the grass around him had withered. He quickly got up and scanned the medicinal herbs in the Eight Scenic Caves, only relaxing after confirming they were fine.
Only the weeds withered; the spirit flowers and grasses were largely unaffected.
In the future, I must not do this recklessly!
Whether it's upgrading a cultivation technique or breaking through, I must leave the Eight Scenic Caves to avoid depleting the spiritual energy here.
Gu An sat back down, reviewing the Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill while cultivating according to the method.
He consolidated a breath of Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy, integrating his body with nature!
The Sky Dragon, now full, lay beside the demon sheep's corpse, sleeping. Inside the Eight Scenic Caves, only the sound of the wind remained.
...
At dawn.
Gu An descended from his pavilion, changing into a green robe, his black hair casually tied at the back, with two long strands left by his ears, exuding an ethereal, unworldly aura of a cultivator.
His body had not fully adapted to the Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill yet, but he wasn't in a hurry. With nightly practice, he would master the Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy within a month.
And with the Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill's divine trait, Mystic Yellow Dragon Might, there was no need for separate cultivation; it would naturally manifest when the Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy was produced.
Mystic Yellow Dragon Might was essentially the might of heaven and earth, able to deter all beings.
Gu An started calling for the disciples to do exercises. When everyone gathered, they could all sense Gu An was in a good mood today.
Zhen Qin curiously asked her master what had made him so happy.
"Nothing much, I read a book last night called the Investiture of the Gods. You can borrow it from the Book Collection Pavilion when you have time," Gu An said, smiling as he exercised.
Xiaochuan's eyes lit up, "I know about the Investiture of the Gods. Almost everyone in the outer sect has a copy; it's said to record ancient mysteries of the immortal cultivation world."
The disciples became interested and began asking Xiaochuan what the Investiture of the Gods was about.
Gu An didn't interject further, still dwelling on the Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill.
Over the next month, he practiced the Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill nightly and finally succeeded in cultivating a breath of Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy in his abdomen, significantly advancing his ability to conceal his cultivation level and aura.
Gu An felt a huge relief, knowing he could now stay hidden peacefully.
That year was as uneventful as the previous years, which was the best outcome for Gu An.
As the winter snow began to melt, Mystic Valley welcomed a new spring, and all disciples prepared for the New Year.
Gu An was deeply engrossed in reading the Green Hero Travelogue under a tree.
Zhen Qin suddenly approached, with her hands behind her back, bending over to ask, "Master, what do you want to eat tomorrow night? I'll make it for you."
Without moving his gaze, Gu An replied, "Anything you make, I'll eat."
Curious, Zhen Qin leaned over to see what book he was reading, but he stopped her.
"Hurry up and prepare the ingredients, or you'll miss the festival tomorrow night. Be careful, or I won't teach you alchemy!" Gu An said sternly.
Zhen Qin pouted but had to leave.
Gu An faintly heard her muttering, "Again reading that nonsensical book."
The corner of his mouth twitched. Just who spread this rumor?
Ruining his reputation!
Now all the disciples in Medicine Valley knew he liked reading the Green Hero Travelogue, often mocking him in private despite not daring to say it to his face.
Gu An stood up, putting the Green Hero Travelogue into his arms.
Starting today, I'm quitting!
Gu An walked out of the courtyard, planning to inspect the garden, but his attention was caught by the valley entrance, making him frown.
A man in a white robe walked gracefully, appearing in his thirties, looking handsome with an extraordinary demeanor.
What made Gu An frown was that he couldn't sense the man's aura.
He immediately cast a life span detection on him.
