When I Achieved Sainthood, the Immortal Official Actually Called Me to Raise Horses! Chapter 209: Meng Lang, Sixth Level of the Scattered Immorta
Before coming here, Gu An had already used divine sense to survey the island.
The strongest cultivator present was a bit more powerful than Divine Soul Lord, but not by much.
If there were Celestial Ascension Stage cultivators, then there might be even stronger beings hidden in the shadows.
But with Roving Immortal Stage as the apparent peak, there likely wasn’t anything far beyond Celestial Ascension lurking unseen.
Even if there was, as long as Gu An kept a low profile, there shouldn’t be any trouble.
He made his way to the Sea Protectorate, intending to register an identity token—a requirent for conducting business and accessing major buildings.
This was sothing he had already confird through his divine sense.
The Sea Protectorate was imnse, spanning a hundred miles, with a constant stream of cultivators coming and going.
Just as he stepped inside, a young attendant approached him.
“Senior, what business do you wish to handle today?”
“I need an identity token.”
“Understood, please follow .”
The attendant was both respectful and enthusiastic.
There were many attendants like him, all dressed in plain yet tidy clothing. From the colors of their robes, one could roughly gauge their status in the Sea Protectorate.
The attendant chatted amicably as they walked, introducing both the Sea Protectorate and the island itself.
“This island is called Seeker’s Island. It’s a renowned neutral ground on the ocean, where transactions can be conducted with peace of mind. If disputes arise, the Island Lord personally upholds justice and can even call upon major sects like the Starsea Sect Alliance, Seven Star Spirit Realm, and Deep Sea Spirit Palace.”
Despite speaking of such formidable sects, the attendant remained humble and composed—a quality that Gu An appreciated.
When Gu An asked for his na, the attendant looked genuinely flattered and quickly introduced himself.
Of course, Gu An already knew—but formalities mattered.
[Hu Xiaojian (Nascent Soul Stage, Level 2): 480 / 860 / 2200]
For soone with this lifespan, Hu Xiaojian would be considered a genius in Taixuan Sect.
But here on Seeker’s Island, he was rely a servant.
Such a vast difference in standards.
“Senior, have you reached the Immortal Dao Realm?”
Hu Xiaojian cautiously asked.
Gu An’s presence felt profound—not overbearing, but possessing a natural aura of refinent, making him seem like a reclusive grandmaster.
“Yes,” Gu An replied casually.
Hu Xiaojian's excitent skyrocketed.
Half an incense stick later, under Hu Xiaojian’s guidance, Gu An arrived at a grand hall.
The cultivators entering and exiting were all at the Grand Ascension or Nirvana Stages.
Those at the Nirvana Stage were likely outsiders, like himself.
anwhile, the Grand Ascension cultivators seed to be affiliated with the Sea Protectorate.
As for Scattered Immortals—they were far rarer.
Hu Xiaojian led Gu An to an elderly cultivator and explained his purpose.
The elder imdiately rose and escorted them to a side chamber.
[Chu Feng (Nirvana Stage, Level 5): 3,860 / 15,000 / 17,000]
Gu An glanced at the lifespan data but said nothing, following Chu Feng’s lead.
From a redwood cabinet, Chu Feng retrieved a white jade token, blank and unmarked.
Handing it to Gu An, he instructed, “Infuse it with your spiritual power and silently recite your na—this will finalize the registration.”
Gu An took the token, adjusted his aura, and infused it with his spiritual power.
A few breaths later, he raised the identity token, showing it to Chu Feng.
"ng Lang, Sixth Level of the Scattered Immortal Stage."
Chu Feng's expression shifted instantly—he hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed deeply.
“Senior!”
Hu Xiaojian, even more ecstatic, followed suit with a respectful bow.
Gu An withdrew the token indifferently and asked, “I heard that a high-rank identity token cos with certain benefits?”
Chu Feng nodded and respectfully explained the privileges:
Reduced transaction feesPermanent access to a private cave residenceAuthority to command five personal attendants
Satisfied, Gu An directly assigned Hu Xiaojian to be his guide.
Hu Xiaojian was both shocked and thrilled, while Chu Feng rely smiled and encouraged him.
Thus began Gu An’s shopping spree on Seeker’s Island.
First, he traded for spirit stones.
It was worth noting that the island’s currency standard was one high-grade spirit stone.
Lower-grade spirit stones—mid or low—weren't even accepted.
Low-level cultivators couldn’t even set foot on the island.
Brutal, but practical.
After all, what cultivator below Nascent Soul Stage could even traverse the ocean to reach Seeker’s Island?
The island was millions of miles from the nearest landmass, with no other islands nearby.
For soone like Hu Xiaojian, the Seven Star Spirit Realm was an incredibly distant power.
The sect he had heard about most was the Starsea Sect Alliance—the undisputed ruler of the seas.
By dusk, Gu An returned to Xuan Valley.
Purchasing dicinal herbs took ti—it wasn’t sothing that could be done in one visit.
Fortunately, Seeker’s Island had an abundance of high-grade herbs.
Even Ninth-Grade dicinal herbs were available.
There were even rumors that once every few decades, Seeker’s Island would auction off Immortal Dao Spirit Trees.
After greeting the valley disciples, he went upstairs to continue writing his book.
Once his purchase was complete, it would be ti to publish Journey to the West!
His trip to Seeker’s Island had left him in a great mood.
Using the alias ng Lang was a tribute to an old friend.
And he wasn’t worried about being recognized.
Most people who knew Gu An would never set foot on Seeker’s Island in their entire lives.
As for Xuantian Yi and An Hao—even with their talent, they wouldn’t reach the Immortal Dao Realm anyti soon.
If Xuantian Yi really was connected to the Starsea Sect Alliance, he might visit Seeker’s Island one day.
Still—Gu An couldn’t help but imagine a future where he and Xuantian Yi t overseas.
Wouldn’t Xuantian Yi’s reaction be interesting?
One month later—
Now ninety-eight years old, Gu An visited Nianchu Cave Dwelling.
Finding Tian Yao’er, he led her into his Celestial Realm, then took out a massive collection of dicinal herb seeds and handed them over.
Seeing the sheer quantity of seeds, Tian Yao’er’s eyes widened in shock, her breathing growing rapid.
“How long… would it take to plant all these?”
Gu An had completely emptied his fortune—and yet, he had only taken out a quarter of his stock.
Chuckling, he said, “These seeds are Seventh-Grade at minimum. You better be careful—if you ss up, I will hold you accountable.”
Seventh-Grade?!
Tian Yao’er gasped—then, monts later, her excitent exploded.
If all these high-grade herbs thrived, the spiritual energy in this realm would overflow!
Wasting no ti, she began planting imdiately.
anwhile, Gu An channeled his spiritual power into the earth, converting it into Five Elents Spiritual Energy.
Letting the realm absorb natural energy was far too slow.
Thankfully, his Primal Heaven and Earth Art contained thods for converting spiritual power into energy.
A long road lay ahead.
