After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 152: Accused of Harassment

Although he had some understanding of how to better complete the task,

this matter was not a loss for him.

If he had failed, that would have indeed been a loss, but fortunately the task was completed, and he even obtained Spirit Stones and a Warm Current.

It did strain his body somewhat.

The elder did not waste words and directly took out one hundred Spirit Stones and a booklet, saying, "Take these. These Spirit Stones are your reward, and this booklet has some names. See what you like, then I’ll give it to you.

Feel free to choose."

Hearing this, Gu An was quite surprised; he could actually choose his reward.

Of course, he was also worried that the options for the reward did not include what he wanted.

Taking the booklet, Gu An started reading.

At first glance, there were some simple texts.

"Nourishing Life Technique" Golden Core Chapter.

"Bone Qi Exorcism Method" Golden Core Chapter.

Following that, there were a series of names, all Golden Core Chapters.

Thus, Gu An knew he had found the right person.

It’s just that why the person was at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment was unknown.

Perhaps they were concealing their cultivation level or had some powerful backing.

But that was not important; finding the right person was what mattered.

In the end, he continued to look through the cultivation techniques.

Regrettably, after looking through thirty types,

none were the cultivation technique he wanted.

When the last cultivation technique appeared, it still was not what he wanted.

It was somewhat disappointing.

There indeed was a good cultivation method.

But...

it was not the one he wanted.

"Don’t have the one you want?" the elder noticed Gu An’s thoughts and asked.

Gu An responded rather awkwardly, "Although my cultivation is poor, I practice the ’Innate Longevity Technique’, so I want the subsequent cultivation techniques for that." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"There is." the elder said.

Gu An was taken aback and looked again, "There isn’t."

"I’m telling you there is. You understand the ’Innate Longevity Technique’ is no ordinary technique. How difficult this matter is, it requires various maneuvers from me," the elder looked seriously at the person before him and said, "It will cost more."

Gu An: "..."

This was the first time he heard it could be done like this.

It was also the first time he heard that one could add money to modify task rewards.

Is this considered corruption?

Perhaps for the Sect it is, but for himself, it was an incredible opportunity.

But, how many Spirit Stones?

Gu An uncertainly asked, "Senior, what do you think would be a suitable amount?"

The elder stretched out five fingers, "The ’Innate Longevity Technique’ is extraordinary and not easy to comprehend, so it’s not expensive, five hundred Spirit Stones for one comprehension attempt."

Five hundred Spirit Stones per attempt?

Seeing Gu An’s confusion, the elder continued, "The Golden Core Chapter is different from the Foundation Building Chapter.

Comprehending it comes with many obstacles.

In simple terms, such specialized techniques, if not issued by the Book Collection Pavilion, are not complete, meaning there is a chance one might not comprehend it.

It needs five hundred Spirit Stones per attempt."

Seeing this, Gu An was quite emotional.

He hadn’t expected it could be done this way.

But... he could only agree.

That day, Gu An received a small bead, similar to the previous Jade Scroll.

He could return and start comprehending by absorbing it.

Today, Gu An did nothing but returned to his quarters, sitting in his room and gazing at the cultivation technique.

Would he comprehend it in one try?

Hard to say.

But he only had a little over two hundred Spirit Stones left.

Not enough for another attempt, but luckily, he had some items on him that he could sell to make up five hundred.

Within three months, all could be exchanged.

Otherwise, he would have to complete another task.

Afterwards, Gu An began to rest, while also cultivating the "Seven Emotions and Six Desires."

His talent wasn’t great, but fortunately, he wasn’t dull-minded.

With the "Seven Emotions and Six Desires," there was still a chance he could comprehend it.

As "Seven Emotions and Six Desires" operated to its fullest, Gu An felt a clarity in his mind and used the bead.

The next moment, he felt as though he had entered a realm of void.

Beneath the void, a figure sat, beginning the Circulation.

Innate Qi was released, and as the cultivation technique within his body operated, powerful medicines continued to be added for refining.

After a short while, the innate energy began to transform.

Soon after, a brilliant light burst forth.

After the light faded, the original innate energy had incredibly transformed into a Golden Core.

At that moment, Gu An saw him open his mouth and swallow the Golden Core.

Swallowing the Golden Core, he realized that his fate was not dictated by heaven.

The next moment, Gu An woke up startled.

At this time, a cultivation method appeared in his mind.

How to perform the Circulation, how to channel innate energy, how to refine the core, how to ingest it.

Seeing this, Gu An felt joy in his heart.

"It worked."

To comprehend it in one go was probably not a high probability.

"Could it be that I am actually a genius? Just that my talent doesn’t really show in absorbing Spiritual Energy?"

Gu An felt quite pleased in his heart.

After all, the old man had said that it was not easy to succeed the first time.

But he had succeeded.

Now, he had the cultivation technique.

His period of Hard Cultivation was also complete.

He could enter the Golden Core realm at any moment.

The only thing left was Qi Sea Sky Gang, which would still take a couple of months.

"During this time, I have to be more diligent."

Gu An decided to also go logging during the day.

But he could only log Shocking God Wood at the Foundation Establishment most.

Iron Heart Wood probably didn’t need to be bothered with anymore; Senior Brother Ye didn’t care about it either.

Success or failure was not important.

At this time, the sky had already darkened.

Midnight had passed.

And the Ring of Destiny had also shown some movements.

Which took Gu An by surprise.

He wasn’t sure if it indicated that Ren Yinghua was taking action again.

He did not want to confront the opponent too soon; his strength was not sufficient yet.

He needed to wait another month.

If a big decision was to be made soon, it would indeed be difficult to choose.

If he did not advance, it was hard to say what the consequences might be.

But if he advanced, with just one month left for Qi Sea Sky Gang, should he give it up?

That would be too great a loss.

Fortunately, the activity was not related to Ren Yinghua.

But to Song Xiu.

[Yesterday noon, Song Xiu and a few felt the discussions on corruption intensifying; if continued, it would definitely lead to a big issue, especially since they found that many harbored malice against you, seeming as if you were the one with heinous crimes.

So after reviewing the documents, they decided to propose to Senior Brother Ye to kick you out of the team.

Alone at night, looking at her reflection in the mirror, she felt very satisfied, and yet such a self, subjected to your brutal treatment, made her angered.

As long as Senior Brother Ye agrees tomorrow, she plans to approach you weakly and share a few heartfelt words.

Then she will loudly accuse you of indecency, under the broad daylight, it surely won’t be easy for you.

She will then label you in a way that will destroy your reputation.]

Gu An looked at the feedback from the Ring of Destiny and fell silent for a moment.

Such a thought process from the other party really surprised him.

Aren’t they afraid of his retaliation?

A single slap could defeat them, and once enraged, the consequences were unpredictable.

Hadn’t she considered that?

Was this petty trick of accusation really useful?

Thinking carefully, it indeed would be, as undoubtedly someone would stand up for her at that time.

Then the news would spread from ten to a hundred.

Eventually, everyone would know that he was a scoundrel.

That was also a good thing.

At least no one would force him not to do bad things.

As long as it didn’t affect his logging, the night logging yard probably wouldn’t care about this.

Thus, Gu An rested, waiting for the daylight and Senior Brother Ye’s reaction.

The other party likely also wanted to get rid of him.
