After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 246 - 214: Running a Shop Is Actually This Profitable

Chapter 246: Chapter 214: Running a Shop Is Actually This Profitable

Spirit Bamboo Peak.

In the courtyard, Chu Meng was eating peanuts and reading a book.

Savoring every moment.

However, not long after reading, she heard a knock on the door.

Upon hearing this, Chu Meng raised her head and said, "Come in."

Chunyu stepped in, respectfully bowing, "Miss."

"Is there something?" Chu Meng asked as she continued eating peanuts, her voice calm.

"I’ve gathered some information. So far, six Peak Masters have taken disciples. Without exception, all these individuals have cultivation around the Golden Core stage.

Their ages vary greatly, as do their appearances.

Some look just over twenty years old, others look like they are just over fifty.

However, without exception, these people would normally find it hard to become mountain disciples.

The reasons why they were taken as disciples by the Peak Masters are all due to other factors.

Quality, temperament, ambition.

All of which are vague concepts, with no substantial effect.

Moreover, recently the various Peak Masters have been trying to cultivate these individuals.

It’s unclear what they’re really aiming to achieve."

Chu Meng didn’t pay much attention, merely asking, "Has there been any letter from the family?"

"Not at the moment," Chunyu shook her head.

"What do you think the family is feeling now? They should be happy seeing my talent showing," Chu Meng said with a sneer. "Write a letter back, say I am short on Spirit Stones recently and I want to return, ask when they are free.

Also, make it clear in the letter whose person I am now."

Chunyu didn’t ask why, simply nodding heavily, "Understood."

"Is the New Secret Realm about to open?" Chu Meng started picking up peanuts again.

"That’s what I’ve heard," Chunyu nodded. "It’s said that the Sect plans to invite two or three other sects to enter this secret realm together.

There’s talk that there’s a Sword Immortal Sword Tomb in the secret realm, and it’s likely that many from Heavenly Suspension Peak will enter.

Judging by the situations of various Main Peaks, it’s possible that this Gu An might enter as well.

And even get some support.

But he’s reckless by nature and might end up killing people indiscriminately."

Chu Meng slightly nodded, without saying anything.

Continued eating peanuts.

...

The next day at noon.

Qingmu City.

Gu An arrived here, flying on his sword.

After his successful employment last night, Gu An began to work.

His first task was to familiarize himself with the local talismans.

They included various Defense Talismans, Attack Talismans, and daily use soundproofing talismans and concealing talismans, among others.

The cheaper ones could be bought with broken spiritual stones, the more expensive ones cost dozens of Spirit Stones each.

The most expensive is probably the thirty Spirit Stone Foundation Establishment Heart Protection Talisman.

It works best for those below Foundation Establishment, able to temporarily alleviate serious injuries.

It’s nearly life-saving.

Just not for long.

Once midnight struck, he returned to the Outer Peak to do logging.

Continued until noon.

He also met Pang Wen and Shu Ci.

The former is overtly the second strongest after the team leader, virtually handling most tasks.

Shu Ci, meanwhile, is the true strongest.

And she’s very shrewd.

Practical-minded and resourceful.

Supporting Pang Wen, they could handle almost all matters of the second team.

Only some deliberate targeting and difficulties were beyond their handling.

Of course, some tasks were indeed tricky.

But these difficulties decreased after he, as the team leader, became a Peak Master’s disciple.

At least for these few months, things would be quite stable.

Of course, Shu Ci also casually informed about the current situation in the Sect.

That is, a total of six Peak Masters had taken disciples, and personnel from the peaks were getting these disciples involved in tasks.

Seemingly with an intent to train them.

She also sidestepped into asking whether Gu An was being cultivated by a Peak Master. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Gu An did not answer this.

The Peak Master did indeed intend to cultivate him, but he refused.

He chose logging.

Eventually, everyone would be cultivated, and he’d still be logging; outsiders might think he’s been abandoned.

Then, those who already disliked him would rejoice.

And those who dared not target him would probably reveal themselves.

Life might not be as easy as now.

But to accept cultivation?

What about logging?

Even during peaceful days, could anything be more important than logging?

So, it was better to focus on logging, as long as he advanced quickly.

These difficulties would self-dissolve.

"You’re quite punctual," the elder in the small shop said calmly.

Though the shop was small, its location was good.

At the front of the street.

However, the bigger shops were inside, the prestigious ones even further within.

In such shops, the location doesn’t need to be good; wherever they are, that’s where the best spot is.

After all, many people would go there.

"I haven’t yet asked for your respected name," Gu An politely bowed.

"Qin Shufu," the elder said casually.

Gu An’s name was mentioned yesterday.

"I’ll be making talismans in the back, remember, no matter who the guest is, even if they are rude, you need to interact calmly.

Don’t underestimate those with weak cultivation, and revere those with high cultivation even more.

Otherwise, if trouble arises, I can’t save you," Qin Shufu earnestly advised Gu An.

"Thank you, senior," Gu An respectfully bowed.

Afterward, the elder went to the back to make talismans.

Gu An sat in the small shop, waiting for customers.

This was quite a novel experience for him; he had occasionally set up stalls before, but sitting in a shop was indeed rare.

During the leisure, he picked up a book on talisman making.

Talisman making demands concentration of spirit, followed by the tracing with a talisman pen, and understanding the meaning of the runes is crucial.

Gu An tested with water.

Each stroke was accurate, but the combination didn’t feel aesthetically pleasing.

The talisman could not be said to be an exact match; it was vastly different.

"Why is this so?"

He felt he had imitated talisman stroke by stroke.

He could understand differences in pressure.

But the overall output still did not match.

This was quite disheartening.

"Good concentration, but your execution is far too poor. You can learn through hard work and practice, but without talent, you won’t go far."
