Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 665: Chapter 319: Dao Sect’s Supreme Treasure

"Linlin requests to see Lord Gu!"

Outside the cave residence, Gong Linlin’s voice echoed. Li An activated the Array, and she gracefully entered. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"What is it?" Li An inquired.

Gong Linlin smiled faintly, performed a salute, and said, "Lord Gu, have you heard the news about Young Master Shanqing?"

Li An nodded indifferently.

"Lord Gu, now that Young Master Shanqing has fallen victim to that traitor, what path should we take in the future? Have you given it any thought?"

She cautiously looked toward Li An.

Li An let out a sigh and said, "Young Master Shanqing extended the hand of opportunity to me. Now that he has passed away, I’m afraid the Gong Clan can no longer accommodate me. I must seek another path..."

Gong Linlin seized the opportunity and said, "Lord Gu, with your capability in cultivating Blood Medicine, why worry about being unwelcomed by the Gong Clan?"

"You simply need to find a wiser leader. With your strength, you will only be given more importance!"

Li An looked at Gong Linlin and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gong Linlin directly knelt down and said, "To be honest, the gift I sent you before... was a token of sincerity from the Fourth Young Miss!"

Li An was taken aback.

"The Fourth Young Miss is eager to appreciate talent. As long as Lord Gu nods in agreement, the treatment you’ll receive from her... will surpass that under Gong Shanqing!"

Li An fell into silent contemplation.

...

Gong Shanqing’s death infuriated the Gong Clan, prompting an extensive investigation for quite some time.

However, in the end, they found nothing, and it soon subsided.

In reality, the upper echelons of the Gong Clan are far from foolish. They could easily deduce that it wasn’t necessarily Xiang Yuntian who was responsible for Shanqing’s death; it could have been someone exploiting Xiang Yuntian’s name. Yet, none of them investigated Gongshan Xiu, Gong Shanye, or others.

Frankly, Shanqing had already lost his influence within the Gong Clan. Without formidable backing, despite his death, no one truly sought justice for him.

Everything that belonged to Shanqing was divided between Gong Shanye and Gongshan Xiu.

Evergreen Peak had already begun to take shape as a secondary Spirit Field, and it fell into the hands of Gong Shanye. Gongshan Xiu did not contest it but instead accepted the people under Shanqing.

Naturally, it also included Li An.

"It’s truly fortunate for Shanxiu that Mr. Gu is willing to join us!"

At Demon Ancestor Peak of the Dao Sect, Gongshan Xiu personally welcomed Li An. Her attire was that of a noblewoman, highlighting her graceful and dignified figure. She smiled warmly, exuding the poise and elegance of a leader, and said:

"From now on, Mr. Gu’s monthly stipend is adjusted to ten Anomaly Crystals per month. Additionally, you will be in charge of all matters related to cultivation here. How does that sound?"

Directly granting financial and authoritative power!

Li An nodded secretly. Shanqing’s death was not in vain; Gongshan Xiu’s vision and scope far surpassed his!

"Thank you, Fourth Young Miss. Gu Fan will be your devoted servant, dedicating my utmost efforts!"

Gongshan Xiu smiled and nodded, "The land at Demon Ancestor Peak is filled with superior Spiritual Qi. Mr. Gu, do you think this place can transform into a secondary Spirit Field?"

This was her true intent!

She had always been keeping tabs on the situation over at Shanqing’s place, well aware of Gu Fan’s talent. Recruiting him would be a substantial advantage for her.

It was laughable how Gong Shanye was so arrogantly dismissive of such talent, belittling his potential. He only sought the land of Evergreen Peak, but not its people...

Li An didn’t conceal his thoughts and said, "If we have enough resources... fifty years. In fifty years, Gu Fan will surely make this place a secondary Spirit Field!"

"All my resources are at your disposal."

She waved her hand directly and said, "Pass along my command. From this day forth, within the Dao Sect, to see Gu Fan is as to see me!"

Everyone under her command was astounded.

...

"Sister, after all, he’s just a person from the Spirit Realm. Treating him so well, aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock? Your subordinates may also not accept him willingly."

After Li An left, a young girl beside Gongshan Xiu inquired.

She was Gongshan Xiu’s younger sister, Gong Shanyu.

"Xiaoyu, you underestimate his value." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Gongshan Xiu calmly said, "For now, I’m granting him these resources to ensure his loyalty. Mark my words, fifty years from now, or even a hundred years later, even if the family elders offer him better conditions, they might not be able to retain him..."

Gong Shanyu’s mouth opened in amazement, "He... is he really that formidable?"

Gongshan Xiu smiled faintly and didn’t answer her question further.

...

Li An subsequently resided at Demon Ancestor Peak and immediately began crafting the secondary Spirit Field for Gongshan Xiu.

Gongshan Xiu undoubtedly had a knack for utilizing people effectively, imposing almost no constraints or restrictions on him, unlike Gong Shanqing, who would occasionally come for inspections.

This made Li An quite comfortable. He mobilized a large quantity of Blood Food daily, misappropriating a portion to construct a Spirit Field within his own cave residence, where he cultivated the Profound Immortal Pill.

...

In a blink of an eye, fifty years slipped by quietly.

"In another hundred years, these Profound Immortal Pills should mature!"

On this day, Li An gazed at the eight Blood Jade Immortal Light Herbs within his cave, his eyes glowing with intensity.

From acquiring the seeds of these Immortal Elixirs, planting them within the Yi Clan, to present, it had only been a few hundred years.

Under normal circumstances, Profound Immortal Pills need at least a thousand years to mature!

Li An had managed to halve this period nearly.

Now, he was ready to undertake the final step—

He calmed himself, allowing the Daoist Rhyme enveloping him to billow like mist. The power of the Great Dao seemed to transform into a silvery waterfall, gently streaming toward the eight Blood Medicine Herbs, and suddenly, this small space seemed to detach from the spacetime of the Spirit Realm, with the eight Blood Medicine Herbs appearing to exist in another era.

From afar, the eight Blood Medicine Herbs appeared ethereal, as if they weren’t truly present.
