Under the scorching sun, with clear skies and surrounded by mountain peaks, the heaven and earth were undulating, the mountains and forests were swaying, and a gust of mountain wind blew all the way into the valley, making Gu An feel a little cool while standing in the garden. Gu An wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at the blooming flowers and plants on the ground. They were all brightly colored and showed no signs of withering even under the sun. There was a young man standing on each side of him. The three of them went to the medicine valley under the Taixuanmen Pill Hall today. Compared with Gu An's excitement, the other two seemed to lack interest and absentmindedly rubbed their hands. sweat. Standing in front of them was a commoner young man with a plain appearance, but a strong body and bright eyes. He was Zhang Chunqiu, the eldest disciple of Yao Valley, and was explaining to Gu An and the others the essentials of picking spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs. "The flowers and plants in this garden are all first-class medicinal herbs. They cannot be uprooted when picking. They need to be cut off from the stems close to the soil. After cutting, they must be wrapped with the spiritual protection paper in your hands to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking... ..." Zhang Chunqiu's voice was loud and energetic, not affected by the scorching sun at all. Gu An held the scissors in his right hand and strips of white paper in his left hand, carefully writing down every word of Zhang Chunqiu. Unlike the two people next to him, he cherished this position very much. He had to endure a lot of supercilious looks to get this opportunity. Others thought he was showing off and that he was going to fall, but little did they know that this was the most suitable way for him to become stronger! "Okay, let's get started. Everyone picks one plant and I'll test it." As soon as Zhang Chunqiu finished speaking, Gu An squatted down. Gu An put down the soul-protecting paper in his hand and carefully held the rhizome of the red flower in front of him with his left hand.
"Brother, you must be too nervous. Even if you cut it, it's okay. It's just first-class herbs. These are ordinary herbs used to make basic elixirs. If you leave them at home, I won't look down on them at all." Gu An's right side Meng Lang spoke. He was dressed luxuriously and looked like he came from an extraordinary family. In fact, this is indeed the case. Except for Gu An, who is a servant, the other two people are from wealthy families. However, the children of wealthy families have to pay attention to cultivating the spiritual roots of immortals when they join the world of immortality. They are all the most mediocre five spiritual roots. If they want to stay In Taixuan Sect, you can only be a handyman disciple. Gu An ignored Meng Lang's words and concentrated on cutting flowers. He pinched the rhizome, cut it lightly with scissors, and then wrapped the root of the red flower with spiritual paper. After doing all this, he stood up and handed it to Zhang Chunqiu for inspection. Zhang Chunqiu took it and looked at it, and said with a satisfied smile: "Well done, you are very careful." Gu An did not answer, but stared at the red flower in his hand. At this moment, he was more nervous than before. After a few breaths, a line of text that only Gu An could read appeared in front of him. [You successfully captured the red spirit flower (first level) with a lifespan of 1 year] Done! A smile appeared on Gu An's face, and he felt relieved. Sure enough, only animals and plants containing spiritual energy can be deprived of their lifespan by him. The first time Gu An lost his life was when he was ten years old. He accidentally bumped into a flowerpot carried by another servant, causing the pot of spiritual shower to spill on the ground. He lost twelve years of life. At that time, the nurse was furious and insisted on cutting off one of his hands, but the third lady Ji Xiaoyu stopped him and saved him. This time, Gu An was able to worship at the Taixuan Sect because of Ji Xiaoyu. Ji Xiaoyu has a rare double spiritual root that is rare in a century. Many great sects of cultivating immortals have offered their support to the Ji family. Ji Xiaoyu and five members of the Ji family After joining Taixuan Sect, Gu An was the only servant. Without Ji Xiaoyu, with his Five Spiritual Root qualifications, he could only join a third-rate sect. While Gu An was secretly happy, Meng Lang and another young man named Li Ya had also completed the extraction. Zhang Chunqiu put three red spirit flowers into the storage bag on his waist and said seriously: "Today your task is to pick fifty red spirit flowers together. You can only move in this garden and are not allowed to invade other gardens. Complete Then he brought Chi Linghua to the attic to find me."
After saying that, Zhang Chunqiu turned and left. Meng Lang waved his fist at Zhang Chunqiu's back, and murmured in a low voice: "You've been talking about something so big for a long time, but you haven't brought up your junior brother?" Li Ya sat directly on the dirt and frantically wiped the sweat with his sleeves. After Gu An saw Zhang Chunqiu going upstairs, he turned back and said to Meng Lang and Li Ya: "Brothers, seeing that you are well-dressed, you must have a very good family background. You can't do such rough work. I'm different. I'm just a servant. Why don't you do it?" Let me do it for you. I will complete the task. You can find a shady place to rest and take care of me in the future. " When Meng Lang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled in surprise: "Okay, brother, you are very wise. If one day you can't stay any longer, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." Li Ya no longer had the energy to speak, so he nodded in agreement. Afterwards, the two left their respective soul-protecting papers and helped each other out of the garden. Gu An picked up these soul-protecting papers, looked back at the garden, his eyes were shining, and the scorching sun in the sky was not as hot as his eyes. In his eyes, the red spirit flowers in the garden are not flowers, but stepping stones to the sky that build the road to longevity! He began to act cautiously. He not only had to complete the task, but also did it well to avoid losing this perfect job. The scorching sun exudes its own endless rays without any consideration for the feelings of the common people in the world. Meng Lang and Li Ya walked to a small pavilion to rest. They kept wiping sweat and didn't even have the strength to speak. Their eyes followed Gu An. Time passed by, and Gu An was sweating profusely, but he was very excited and the smile on his face never disappeared. Looking at the blushing Gu An, Meng Lang couldn't help but sigh: "In such a hot day, this kid is really hardworking. I like it. From now on, we will take more care of him, let him eat and drink well, and don't allow others to bully him." , so that he can continue to help us.” Li Ya rolled his eyes and said angrily: "There are not many people in this valley, who can bully him? If senior brother bullies him, do you dare to talk back?" Meng Lang gave a fake cough, looked at Li Ya, and asked, "Brother, where are you from the Li family?" Li Ya said calmly: "The Li family in Changluo, Cangzhou." "Chang Luo? Isn't that the Imperial City? Do you have the same surname as the royal family?" Meng Lang asked in surprise. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. Li Ya did not answer, but looked at Gu An quietly. Meng Lang became embarrassed. He didn't expect to meet a member of the royal family here. But after he thought about it, he felt that it was normal. This was Taixuanmen, the first sect of cultivating immortals in the Taicang Dynasty. The fact that they could share the same character as Taixuanmen with the dynasty showed how transcendent the status of Taixuanmen was. It's not too outrageous to be a member of the royal family. for a long time. Gu An finally finished picking fifty red spirit flowers. He put all the wrapped red spirit flowers into the bamboo basket. He carried the bamboo basket and looked at other parks, his face full of anticipation. There are more than fifteen parks in the valley, and the park they are in is just a small corner. He guesses that the medicinal herbs in other parks are of higher value. There is ample time! Gu An didn't want to expose his golden finger, so he would call it a day. He walked along the path towards the attic, waving to Meng Lang and Li Ya at the same time, and they got up and walked over. "Brother Gu An, thank you for your hard work. Let me carry it." Meng Lang said with a smile. The three of them had introduced themselves when they met the Valley Master before, so they remembered each other's names.
Gu An saw through Meng Lang's little thoughts, nodded with a smile, and then handed him the bamboo basket. Li Ya curled his lips, with disdain in his eyes. Gu An just wanted to keep this job. He didn't want to be transferred out because he performed too well, so he didn't bother to argue with Meng Lang. The three of them came to the attic and met their senior brother Zhang Chunqiu. Zhang Chunqiu was holding a book. When he saw Gu An and the others coming in, he put down the book in his hand and said, "Put down the Red Spirit Flower. These three books are the basic methods left by the master. Practice them during your daily rest. Try to jump out of here one day and become a true disciple of Taixuan Sect. Five years ago, a disciple obtained the master's elixir, successfully established the foundation, and became an outer disciple of Taixuan Sect. " As he spoke, he waved his right hand, and three secret books flew out of his sleeves and flew towards Gu An and the others. Gu An took the book and read the words clearly. Chunmu Gong! It sounds so vulgar! Gu An was not disappointed, after all, he was at the bottom of Taixuan Sect. Zhang Chunqiu gave a few more instructions and asked them to find a room in the courtyard next door. It was reserved for the handyman disciples. Currently, there were only four of them disciples in this medicine valley. The owner of the valley was away and it would take two years before he could come back. , so Zhang Chunqiu is now in charge of Yaogu. After one stick of incense. Gu An was lying on the wooden bed, gasping for air and his face was red. After all, he had just experienced an exposure. His mind moved, and lines of words appeared in front of him. [Name: Gu An] 【Lifespan: 15/151】 [Spiritual Roots: Five Elements Ordinary Spiritual Roots (can be invested in life-span evolution practice)] [Cultivation: Not in the flow (can invest in life evolution practice)] [Skill: Fire Control Technique (not yet practiced) (can be put into life-span evolution practice)] … Gu An took away eighty-eight years of life in one breath! Before that, his life span was sixty-three years, twelve of which were obtained by breaking the flower bed when he was ten years old. In other words, he could only live to be fifty years old at the beginning. First-level herbs can only provide one to two years of life, but for mortals, one year is so long! Gu An looked at his attribute panel, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became. In just a short time, he had earned eighty-eight years of life. This job is so beautiful! He wants to be Yaogu’s key tenant! He looked down upon both outer disciples and inner disciples. It is said that becoming a formal disciple requires you to go out to perform tasks and kill demons in the world, which is very dangerous. Gu An has never killed a chicken since he was a child. In his previous life, he was an ordinary person on earth. If he was asked to kill, he couldn't do it.
How great it is to stay in Medicine Valley, where you will almost never encounter danger, and you can earn a lot of life! Who said you have to work hard to become an immortal? Gu An fell into a beautiful fantasy and couldn't extricate himself. The night passed. Gu An woke up early in the morning. After a brief wash, he went to Zhang Chunqiu to receive the task. Zhang Chunqiu did not sleep. He was collecting Qi and practicing. He smiled happily at Gu An's hard work, then stood up and walked to the door of the room. He pointed to a garden and said, "You can pick all the spiritual grass in that garden." , just put the Lingxincao at the door after picking it, no need to knock on the door.” After that, he waved his sleeves, and the pieces of spiritual protection paper fell into Gu An's hands. Zhang Chunqiu looked at Gu An, who could not restrain his excitement. He hesitated for a moment, showed an amiable smile, and said, "Junior brother, work hard. As long as you are diligent and willing to endure hardship, you will definitely get ahead."
