After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In Chapter 4 - 4 4 Are You Really Acting Like This

4: Chapter 4 Are You Really Acting Like This?

4: Chapter 4 Are You Really Acting Like This?

I don’t know anything.

After a mont of silence, Gu An shook his head: “What do you all think?”

“Shall I speak?” The last man to speak was not young.

Shen Shanhe, looking to be just over thirty, at the Qi Refining Second Layer.

Gu An looked at him and nodded slightly: “Go ahead.”

The others imdiately beca excited.

Shen Shanhe looked around cautiously and said carefully: “I heard that an elder’s daughter has gone missing.

It’s probably due to strife within the Inner Sect.

There are even rumors that she eloped with soone.”

Everyone sighed.

Gu An did too.

But whether this elder’s daughter was his own, that was hard to say.

The waters here were too deep for him to control.

He could only hope for the informant to arrive quickly.

After returning to his residence, Gu An cooked a piece of demon beast at for Chu ng, then went back to his room.

Chu ng slept in the living room.

“You’re not going to feed ?” Chu ng sounded slightly angry.

Gu An glanced at the at on the table: “If I don’t see it, only heaven, earth, and you would know.”

Chu ng’s face was filled with question marks.

You’ve taken so much from , and this is your attitude?

Gu An turned away and ignored the cursing sounds from behind.

Entering his room, Gu An took a seat in the practice area, sitting cross-legged.

Now that his magic was full, he could try to enhance a particular technique.

But first, he needed to check for any changes with the Ring of Destiny.

There was indeed so activity.

A mont later, feedback from the Ring of Destiny arrived in his mind.

[Last night, Yang Shi sold talismans and got acquainted with an Outer Disciple from Cangmu Sect.

He heard that an important figure had escaped in the turmoil of the Sect, quite possibly near the Spirit Tree Garden.

If one were to find this person and return them, there would surely be a great reward.

It was also heard that soone would soon co to take over as the Supervisor.

Thrilled, he went to the Chen Family and, after three rounds of drinks, spoke loudly of this matter, berating you, saying at your age, you must not refuse to retire this ti.

Although he wasn’t the one to take you down, he has no plan to let you off in the future.]

Gu An felt contemplative.

“Too bad it’s not about the person outside the Sect.”

As for why Yang Shi harbored such resentnt towards him, he truly had no clue.

But that was not important.

The new Supervisor was coming, and his situation was not good.

If the person was coming to search for soone and investigated, there was a good chance they would trace it back to him.

“Better enhance a technique first.

Tomorrow, see if Hard Cultivation value can be quickly improved.”

Hard Cultivation value was not easy to improve, as it required enough logging ti, perhaps because the wood quality wasn’t good enough.

But the trouble brought by that outsider wouldn’t give him the ti.

“When exactly will the person taking over arrive?”

Gu An felt helpless.

If there was no other choice, he would have to bury the person.

Afterward, he chose to enhance Mountain Opening Fist.

This ti the enhancent should be able to reach Perfection.

After extracting the technique, Gu An felt a Warm Current coursing through his body and a clear sense of enlightennt in his mind.

All doubts about Mountain Opening Fist sparked like fireworks, and countless inspirations manifested in his mind.

Gradually, he completely understood the workings of Mountain Opening Fist.

He even continuously practiced the moves in his mind.

He had reached the pinnacle of what he had learned.

With that, Gu An finally opened his eyes.

Unbeknownst to him, the sky outside had already begun to brighten.

He looked down at his hands, feeling a powerful explosive force.

“I wonder how powerful Mountain Opening Fist is.”

Without sparring with others, he didn’t know if there were any opponents left at the Third Level of Qi Refining.

But he couldn’t be careless, later he could try to learn Hundred Steps Chasing Wind.

As he walked out of the room, Chu ng spoke up: “Were you learning Hundred Steps Chasing Wind last night?

This technique is simple yet complex.

If you’re willing to do sothing for , I can teach you and give you ten Spirit Stones.”

Ten Spirit Stones?

Gu An was sowhat astonished, ten, indeed.

He could only get one Spirit Stone a month from tending the Spirit Tree Garden.

As for other Supervisors, they only get five broken spiritual stones, and it takes ten broken spiritual stones to make up one Spirit Stone.

The Loose Cultivators who log get a bit more, but it also doesn’t amount to one Spirit Stone.

Gu An looked at the other person and shook his head: “I am not a person greedy for money.”

Then, he turned around and left.

Chu ng was left completely bewildered.

There are actually people in this world who don’t like Spirit Stones?

Arriving at the Spirit Tree Garden, Gu An continued to “kill ti” with his axe.

He must hurry.

He found out that Yang Shi’s cultivation was indeed on the verge of a breakthrough, and with his talent in talisman making, it ant he had a substantial number of Spirit Stones.

Although he could win against soone of the sa cultivation level, it was hard to compete with soone wealthy.

With enough Spirit Stones, talismans, Magic Treasures, and techniques, even soone a realm higher would flee at the news.

Today, he no longer cared about those people’s stares and focused solely on logging.

Sure enough, his stats improved.

[Technique: 12/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 25/100]

In three more days, his Technique might possibly reach Perfection.

It was completely dark before Gu An left.

The sight stunned the Loose Cultivators who were logging as well as the Supervisor.

They couldn’t understand what craze had taken over their leader.

The following day.

Gu An continued to log.

This made the Supervisors anxious.

Gu An rely said he was feeling down recently and asked them not to mind it.

That reassured them.

They also encouraged him to ease his mind.

For five consecutive days, Gu An was logging.

Yesterday, he had learned Hundred Steps Chasing Wind, but his Hard Cultivation stats didn’t increase much.

They’re only at forty now.

However, the Manager of the Spirit Tree Garden approached him—An Outer Sect Disciple in the Qi Refining Sixth Level, a young man in his twenties.

The other party sat and spoke, never looking at him, and didn’t respond to any questions either.

It was quite unpleasant, yet he maintained a smile.

Upon arrival, the Manager sipped his tea and indirectly expressed his apologies; although his eyes held a superior gaze, Gu An still said it was fine.

The Manager then ntioned that in no more than ten days, soone from the Outer Sect would co to take over the role of leading the Supervisors.

It was the Sect’s arrangent.

Gu An smiled and said that it had been troubleso for the Manager, and conveniently handed over a Spirit Stone.

Afterwards, the Manager admitted it had been sowhat troubleso, but he made it clear that the treatnt for the leader would not be revoked as long as Gu An worked well in the Spirit Tree Garden.

With that, Gu An also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was known that he gave the very Spirit Stone he received for being a leader to this Manager.

Previously he sustained himself by skimming a little from the Loose Cultivators.

After his transmigration, he just symbolically collected so, barely scrapping together one Spirit Stone a month.

Fortunately, he could still sell so demon beast at.

Though cheap, it also earned him one or two Spirit Stones.

Indeed, it was hard for those on the periphery.

It was said that Outer Disciples of the Sect received five Spirit Stones a month.

That was a place countless people aspired for but couldn’t enter.

If Gu An could have, he would have entered long ago; there was no need to wait until over forty.

If it weren’t for a lack of options, he, a man over forty, wouldn’t have to try to please a Manager in his twenties.

Moreover, the Manager didn’t really care; the Cultivation Technique he had previously given was probably just a ruse to cheat for Spirit Stones.

But what could he do knowing that?

There was no solution; he didn’t even dare to turn against him.

Afterwards, Gu An waited each day for the contact person, but for so reason, they were significantly delayed.

The new leader was about to arrive, and Gu An couldn’t wait any longer.

After much hesitation, he decided to go deeper into the Spirit Tree Garden where there was a Vajra Wood which had grown for who knows how many years.

If he went to chop it, perhaps it could help him advance his cultivation quickly.

Although the consequences would be severe if caught, if he continued to wait, he might be killed by either Yang Shi or the new leader.

He picked a suitable day and bought a new dagger in the workshop.

Only a dagger that others could not see could be taken into the depths; an axe would be too easily noticed.

These days, the Ring of Destiny had been silent, and he could only judge Yang Shi’s situation by his cultivation.

It likely wouldn’t be long before his promotion.

Watching Gu An enter the Spirit Tree Garden, the corners of Yang Shi’s mouth subtly rose.

Soone’s good days were coming to an end.

Just a little longer, and he himself would reach the Third Level of Qi Refining.
