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

Chapter 380: Chapter 380 Disaster



Judging by Shen Zhen's limit life span increase, it couldn't be aimed at 9,999 years, could it? As a veteran actor, Gu An's face also involuntarily revealed a strange expression at this moment.

He lectured Ye Lan, Zhen Qin, and An Xin, putting in much effort, yet it paled in comparison to Shen Zhen's limit life span increase.

It didn't make sense.

Could there really be existences favored by the Heavenly Dao in this world?

Wu Jue was one, and so was Shen Zhen-both didn't need the help of others, and their limit life spans increased repeatedly on their own.

Wait a minute!

Gu An suddenly realized something and spoke, "Is that so? Then relay it to me."

Shen Zhen promptly narrated the secret technique she comprehended, and Gu An listened attentively.

After a period equivalent to 30 minutes, Shen Zhen finished her narration and then looked at Gu An with pride, awaiting his astonishment.

Gu An frowned and said, "I don't understand, it feels profound. Is it Qi Cultivation first, or cultivating acupoints?"

Though he said this, in fact, he had already seen through this secret technique.

This secret technique bore some resemblance to the Primordial Reincarnation Skill.

Both touched upon the Reincarnation Technique.

However, for lower realm beings, the Reincarnation Technique was extremely complex and hard to comprehend.

With Gu An's perspective, even letting top-tier geniuses cultivate this technique, it would be difficult for them to succeed in a short amount of time.

He inferred that Shen Zhen first practiced this secret technique seven years ago.

Mastered it in just seven years?

Something was off unless she already knew it from before.

Gu An combined this with the changes in Shen Zhen's aura, and his speculation grew ever firmer.

Previously such beings were utterly inconspicuous, and now how could multiple appear? Gu An thought for a moment; if he were merely a Taoist Hidden Immortal, it would be hard to see through Reincarnation Tribulation unless someone like Ji Xiaoyu, bearing an Innate Daoist Talisman and continuously awakening memories, made her Reincarnation aura increasingly evident.

Currently, it seemed Shen Zhen hadn't awakened any memories; she could only comprehend the cultivation technique.

Looking across the world, there were very few beings immersed in Reincarnation Tribulation. Why did two appear by his side?

Excluding Yang Jian as his cultivation level wasn't sufficient, and adding the previously passing Zhang Shi, Gu An always felt there was an unseen mighty hand scheming against him. It couldn't just be a coincidence!

"You don't understand this? You're really dumb!" Shen Zhen retorted with a glare, clearly displeased—it wasn't the response she wanted.

Gu An indignantly said, "Who could understand this? Maybe I should have Ji Xiaoyu come and listen?"

As soon as Shen Zhen heard this, she hastily rejected, "That won't do. I am only imparting this secret technique to you; you must not teach it to anyone else!"

"Why?"

"There's no why. I'm teaching you because we have a good relationship. I don't care for anyone else. Did you hear me? If you spread it around, I will definitely trouble you!"

Shen Zhen raised her fist, threatening him.

Gu An could only agree, then with a sigh said, "If this secret technique is true, then you are indeed amazing, always enlightening the Path. Could you be an Immortal reincarnated?"

He deliberately pointed this out, wanting to see Ji Xiaoyu's reaction downstairs.

Shen Zhen bragged with a smile, "I've said before that I am definitely the protagonist. The possibility that I am an Immortal reincarnated cannot be ruled out. If you want to become Immortal in the future, you'll need to cling to my coattails."

Gu An raised an eyebrow and asked, "Really let me cling?"

No sooner had he asked the question than he regretted it, as the aura from down below underwent a more pronounced change.

Shen Zhen lifted her right leg, placed it on the table, and slid her hand along it, from the back of her foot to her thigh. Though clothed in long pants, the action was suggestive enough, and she even provocatively looked at Gu An.

For the first time, Gu An noticed Shen Zhen's legs were really long.

No wonder the women in the Supreme Secret Records were all long-legged beauties.

"Come on, it's not like you haven't clung before!" Shen Zhen spoke coyly.

Gu An's fur bristled upon hearing this, and he quickly retorted, "Nonsense, when have I ever clung to your thighs?"

"You deny it? Be bold enough to own up to your actions-it should have been about four hundred years ago when you visited my cave and clung to me with all that mushy talk.

Thinking about it now, it's downright embarrassing!"

Shen Zhen said with feigned annoyance, causing Gu An to feel the urge to hit someone.

Four hundred years ago, as if calculating Ji Xiaoyu's age?

He could be sure that Shen Zhen had said this for the benefit of Ji Xiaoyu downstairs, as the event she mentioned had never occurred.

"Oh really? Then how about we do it again now?" Gu An retorted with a humph.

He stood up and walked towards Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen looked at him provocatively, and just as he really reached out to touch her leg, she quickly drew back her leg and said, "Forget it, let's talk about serious matters."

"No, you've uttered the words; you must follow through!"

Seeing that Gu An was indeed about to pounce, Shen Zhen quickly said, "Alright, alright, I was only joking. You're so serious, can't take a tease. Afraid that someone downstairs will hear? Wait a minute, are you worried about the person below? I almost forgot; I was talking nonsense. Our past interactions were nothing but pure."

Listening to her insinuating remarks, Gu An was about to pat her on the shoulder.

Shen Zhen continued, "Really, I apologize, I was just joking earlier. Don't be mad at me. I was just testing to see if the person below would eavesdrop. I won't make such jokes in the

future."

Looking at her smile, Gu An guessed she had also sensed Ji Xiaoyu's change of energy.

In recent years, Ji Xiaoyu had achieved a breakthrough to the Unification Realm in the Supreme Sect's Tribulation Crossing Field, but Shen Zhen had only the first level of the Void Crossing Realm cultivation level-how could she have noticed Ji Xiaoyu's energy change?

Gu An felt more and more that something was off about Shen Zhen.

He would have to be careful in the future not to show too much in front of her.

"She wouldn't eavesdrop, and besides, there are restrictions inside the room," Gu An replied, sitting back down at the table and shaking his head.

"You seem to trust her a lot."

"Nonsense, I watched her grow up. She is destined to become a powerful figure renowned across the world, not some small-minded girl caught up in her emotions. You should learn from her and stop reading those indecent books all day, won't you?"

"Indecent? I wrote a new volume of the Supreme Secret Records especially for you, and this is how you repay me. You've broken my heart. I won't give it to you now. Goodbye!"

Shen Zhen stood up, flicked her sleeve, and walked away.

Gu An stood up to stop her and asked, "For real?"

Shen Zhen turned away, pretending to be angry.

"Alright, I was just joking with you. I apologize," Gu An sighed.

This woman really had her ways, had me apologizing, and then turns it right back around!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu An could deduce that her new book was just made up, but he would have preferred to see

the original. Flipping through the real pages provides such a sense of experience!

Shen Zhen gave a triumphant smile, pulled a book from her sleeve, and tossed it into Gu An's

arms before she continued on her way.

This creature doesn't close the door when she leaves; how impolite!

Holding the latest volume of the Supreme Secret Records, Gu An cursed in his mind and then

waved his sleeve to close the door.

He returned to his seat, placing the book on the table with all solemnity.

That the Taoist Hidden Immortal of his stature should be reading such a book was fortunate

that no one knew of his realm.

Gu An thought himself lucky.

It wasn't that he was vulgar; he was cultivating!

This was tempering the heart!

Reading extensively prevents one from being tied down by women and losing their Daoist

Heart!

After mentally preparing himself, Gu An began to flip through the book. Meanwhile, downstairs, Ji Xiaoyu could not contain her curiosity and used her Divine Sense to

peek at Gu An's book, immediately blushing and filled with indignation.

"This guy..."

"Never mind, I won't bring him along for cultivation, lest he truly becomes a menace

someday!"

Ji Xiaoyu thought to herself and strived to cast aside her distractions, returning to her

cultivation.
