After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 62 - The Storage Treasure is Lost
62: Chapter 62 The Storage Treasure is Lost
62 -62 The Storage Treasure is Lost
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Gu An had been chopping wood the entire time.
Though he was not worried, when the third day arrived, he still cared a bit whether the people from the Law Enforcement Hall would come.
By evening, the other party still hadn’t shown up.
He waited yet another day.
Still, there was no change.
Not only that, but those who had been sent to investigate Qing Chenxi had already dispersed.
It seemed like this matter had already concluded.
“If Chu Meng was right, then a list of suspects should have been given.”
In front of the Green Sun Wood, Gu An swung his axe without hesitation.
If the list was submitted, then he might fall deeper into danger.
People from Qing Chenxi might indeed come looking for him.
As for what they would do, that was still unknown.
He should just ascend to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining first.
Elevate the All Phenomena Forest Qi Chapter of his techniques first, although the Qi Concealment Technique he learned was not bad, he always felt that some people could see through it.
And the Qi Chapter of Wanxiang Senluo, was certainly far superior to the Qi Concealment Technique.
Initially, the Qi Concealment Technique was understood at a glance.
But upon studying the Qi Chapter, he couldn’t understand it even after a long time.
Now, he was beginning to grasp some thresholds.
Entering its gates would take a long time.
This shows just how difficult it is to learn.
By the end of April.
Gu An stood under the Green Sun Tree, swinging the axe in his hand.
Feeling the changes of the warm currents in his body.
Now, chopping the Green Sun Wood, its searing heat couldn’t harm him anymore.
The Heavenly Gang in his Qi Sea traveled through his body, making this heat unable to cause significant damage.
Currently, he lived on the eastern side, with the only drawback being the lack of enough Spiritual Energy.
There were hardly any other disadvantages.
Of course, not relying on Spiritual Energy to increase his cultivation, changing to another person would still fall into a spiral of weakening.
As the axe fell time and again.
Gu An felt the warm current filling every part of his body.
Unable to increase any further.
With that, he finally stopped swinging his axe.
Looking towards the panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Eighth Layer]
[Status: Poisoned]
[Magic: 50/50]
[Hard Cultivation: 100/100]
[Ring of Destiny]
“It’s full, time is almost up.”
“These days, chopping wood has become much faster, but the progress hasn’t changed much.”
“It seems that chopping wood in haste doesn’t necessarily help.”
Gu An felt that obtaining the warm current had certain time intervals.
Additionally, the same speed, the same movement, the same tree.
The appearances of warm currents were completely irregular.
That is to say, it largely depends on luck.
Checking the time, Gu An felt it was still early.
He planned to return early to enhance his cultivation.
In a day or two, it would be the day to receive resources, and when that time comes, there will be many people and chaos while shopping.
However, he barely managed to blend into the Sect.
Rarely was anyone foolish enough to come and find him.
Additionally, people from Qing Chenxi hadn’t sought him out.
He didn’t know if they had simply not set their sights on him.
If they haven’t, that could be nothing but the best outcome.
Gu An, holding an axe, walked towards the exterior of the Green Sun Wood Forest.
It was then he overheard some news.
“Have you heard?
Hua Jiyang is back.”
“I heard, they say he asked people to lend him Spirit Stones, but couldn’t borrow even one.”
Hearing the name Hua Jiyang, Gu An slowed his pace.
Then he approached a Green Sun Tree, pretending to examine it.
These days, it was the first time he had heard news of Hua Jiyang.
Previously, it was said that he had offended the Inner Sect, and everyone could only distance themselves from him.
Now he was back at the Sect.
At this moment, voices were heard again from that direction.
It was a conversation between a man and a woman.
A female immortal at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer said, “Lending Spirit Stones, I wasn’t aware of that.
Wasn’t it said that nobody had any ties with him?
How could he possibly borrow any.”
The male at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer nodded and said, “Exactly, he couldn’t borrow them.
It’s said that he returned several days ago, wanting to do something but hitting a wall at every turn.
Eventually, it’s heard that he went to ask Zhong Bing for Spirit Stones.
To prove he had nothing to do with him, Zhong Bing immediately made the matter public.
He said Hua Jiyang asked him to borrow twenty Spirit Stones, not to mention twenty, he wouldn’t lend even two.
He would rather give them to a dog than to him.”
“Isn’t that a bit harsh?
Isn’t it too much?” the female Qi Refining Fifth Layer immortal was somewhat surprised.
“It’s necessary.
It’s even said that he openly opposed letting people like Hua Jiyang stay in the Sect,” the male at Qi Refining Fifth Layer shrugged, “But after doing this, he gained the favor of the Inner Sect the very next day.
Although the approach was ugly, his future is bright.”
Gu An listened for a while longer, and after not hearing anything useful, shook his head towards the Green Sun Wood and left.
He handed over the axe, and after seeing that he met the requirement of two, then he left at ease.
He hesitated for a moment.
He went to the workshop.
Hua Jiyang had returned and needed Spirit Stones.
Zhong Bing and the others were afraid of offending the Inner Sect, naturally, they dared not lend.
It made sense.
However, stepping on others to gain favor with the Inner Sect, excessive though it was, seizing the rare opportunity was understandable.
Then did the other three Hua Jiyang sought out include him?
Rationally speaking, they should have.
But why didn’t he come to find me then?
Offending the Inner Sect is a terrifying matter, and he too was afraid of disrupting his relatively stable current life.
Wandering through the market.
Gu An looked around.
Finally, in a neglected corner, he saw a stall.
The stall owner wore a hat with a wide brim, obscuring his face.
On the stall, basic Array Stones were being sold.
Gu An walked over, not towards the stall but browsed around inside, his head lowered searching for something.
At the most secluded part, he took out some items from his Storage Treasure and put them on his body.
Finally, he put down the Storage Treasure.
And walked out.
As he walked, he murmured quietly with a hint of irritation: “Where did my Storage Treasure go, I wonder if a kind soul found it and could return it to me.”
Speaking these words, Gu An stepped away.
Disappearing among the crowd.
At this time, the stall owner in the hat looked down, showing no sign of action.
But hidden from ordinary sight behind him, a Paperman walked away and soon returned carrying a Storage Treasure.
It was then collected by the stall owner with the hat.
He continued to man the stall without moving.
…
Back at his dwelling, Gu An sighed in relief.
The Storage Treasure was gone.
He wasn’t sure if it could be returned.
He was certain that the person was Hua Jiyang.
His own sense was quite reliable, especially after cultivating the Qi Concealment Technique.
He had a fair amount of experience in this aspect.
If he was mistaken, this incident would become something he’d never want to remember.
After all, when he said those words, the stall owner must have looked at him as if seeing a fool.
Such a matter, if delivered right is fine.
If delivered wrong, might as well consider it never done.
Later he sat in the training room, the room filled with talismans, which would be triggered if someone approached.
It would also wake him up.
He was left with exactly twenty Spirit Stones, some Elixir Pills, and books.
The rest were in the Storage Treasure.
Shaking his head to dismiss the surplus thoughts, Gu An began the Qi Refining Chapter.
To learn this, then advance in cultivation,
And then conceal his cultivation.
Having determined this, Gu An began to absorb the values of the techniques.
For a moment, it seemed as though he had entered a dream.
Holding the All Phenomena Forest book, he began reading.
