After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 74 - Strength Has Improved

74: Chapter 74: Strength Has Improved

74 -74: Strength Has Improved

Gu An hesitated for a long time, then suddenly thought of a possibility.

If there was no Cultivation Technique, how would it be if he still chose to cultivate?

Even if he couldn’t advance, could he achieve the possibility of tempering himself?

It must be understood that the Nourishing Life Technique is too ordinary.

The disadvantage compared to some powerful Cultivation Techniques is very obvious.

So, if he keeps tempering at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, would there be enough benefits?

Just right, if it’s the Cultivation Technique coming after the mission, then these few months wouldn’t just be wasted in idleness.

After having this thought, Gu An decided to try cultivating first.

After all, it’s his first time stalling in place, so naturally, he needs to make some preparations.

He went to the pond first thing, fed it some food, and told the Big Eye Fish to be alert.

To come wake him if there’s any problem.

The Big Eye Fish flipped over its belly; it was unclear whether it agreed or refused.

Afterward, Gu An returned to his dwelling.

And started his Hard Cultivation.

With his eyes closed, he felt as if he had fallen into a dream.

In the dream, he knew he didn’t have a Foundation Establishment Technique and could only solidify his cultivation.

Then he operated the Nourishing Life Technique, continuously tempering his meridians.

Time passed day by day, day after day, year after year.

He felt that the Spiritual Energy in his body had increased quite a bit.

The Spiritual Energy stored in his meridians also became richer and purer.

After the Spiritual Energy increased by a tenth.

Gu An felt that he could try to advance to Foundation Establishment at any time.

However, he still couldn’t find the right method.

But when the Spiritual Energy stopped circulating, Gu An suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he felt the power within his body was no longer meager.

Nor had it improved greatly; it was far from reaching the limit.

“Now I should be stronger than ordinary people, but still some distance from the Superior Cultivation Method.”

This is the sorrow of not having a good Cultivation Method.

But fortunately, he can repeatedly hone it, making the effects of his Cultivation Technique approach those of top cultivation methods.

He checked the time; there was still some time before dawn.

Now he needs to think about which technique to improve.

The current choices are the “Seven Emotions and Six Desires” and “Qi Breathing Chapter” from Wanxiang Senluo.

The Swordsmanship “One Leaf Knows Autumn.”

The finger technique “Soul-shocking Finger.”

The Magic “Planting Beans into Soldiers.”

The Qi Breathing Chapter is used to conceal one’s cultivation, but it can also control Spiritual Energy better.

Using the least consumption to bring about the maximum attack.

Seven Emotions and Six Desires is for the mental aspect.

It can control emotions well, not allowing others to discern one’s thoughts.

Not showing joy or anger in one’s expressions.

The last three are all Attack Types.

After some hesitation, Gu An chose the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

In this aspect, it’s easy for him to be at a disadvantage, especially since he has killed quite a few people.

Once interrogated by formidable people, it’s easy to reveal flaws.

So, for long-term planning, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires is the technique that should be cultivated first.

After that, he didn’t hesitate and began to extract the technique.

Like in a dream, he sat withered under the tree.

He began perceiving his spirit, recognizing his own heart.

A mysterious feeling emerged from his heart.

Gradually, he seemed to wander in a realm devoid of sadness or joy.

His spirit became resilient, yet extremely sensitive.

After a long while, everything returned to his body.

Thus, Gu An finally opened his eyes.

The day had already brightened.

At this moment, Gu An felt that he saw his surroundings more clearly, and his perception had become much more sensitive.

His heart was calm, like a bowl of water that could keep water from rippling as much as possible.

A very strange feeling.

But if his mind was impacted, he could stabilize it immediately.

If his spirit was attacked, he could resist it somewhat.

The entry into the Seven Emotions and Six Desires was indeed a bit extraordinary.

“Hua Jiyang’s two books are both very powerful.”

These two chapters are vital to him.

Although still unsure why the other party was so kind to him, it seemed there was no ill will for the time being.

And when the other party was wanted, giving Spirit Stones was merely a small repayment.

It really wasn’t much.

Avoiding and not daring to lend a hand was actually quite reasonable.

But just reasonable.

Not compassionate.

He sighed, and Gu An got up and left the courtyard.

Watching the Big Eye Fish bask in the Sun, Gu An tossed a few peanuts into the pond before heading to the logging area.

When receiving the axe, Liang Chen smiled and said, “Junior Brother seems to have come a bit late today.”

“All for better logging,” Gu An hinted.

Liang Chen smiled and said, “Then I congratulate Junior Brother in advance on successful logging.”

“Thank you for your auspicious words, Senior Brother,” Gu An gratefully replied.

He then took the axe and walked further in.

He needed to meet today’s target.

Tonight, he would go to the Inner Sect for logging.

He was looking forward to it quite a bit.

Especially since the hard cultivation at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining actually had quite a few uses.

Although his realm hadn’t increased, his strength had improved a lot.

He could probably defeat Zheng Xiu without using Gang Qi.

Afterward came the tedious process of logging.

No one disturbed him today.

The afternoon passed quickly.

In the evening, the bell rang.

Everyone started to head out.

On the way, Gu An saw others quickly logging.

Apparently, they were only a little short of hitting their targets.

One would meet such people every day.

Soon, Gu An turned in the axe and left the logging area.

He just waited for dusk to come and meet up.

After eating something back at his place, Gu An sat by the pond.

He casually tossed peanuts into the water.

Plunking sounds were heard, the fishes inside hiding everywhere.

Only the Big Eye Fish excitedly chased the source of the disturbance.

It was eating with great delight.

Gu An could not detect the power in the fish at all.

Nor knew when it might advance further.

But feeding it this way, it certainly wouldn’t be ordinary.

What kind of fish eats Qi Sea Gang Qi?

Ordinary fish would die upon contact.

“What exactly are you?” Gu An asked.

But the Big Eye Fish ignored him.

It continued to swim.

When darkness completely fell, Gu An stood up, put away the peanuts in his hand, and said, “Take good care of the house; remember to let me know if anyone comes.”

As his words fell, Gu An stepped out toward the outside.

Walking under the moonlight, Gu An arrived at the logging area.

From a distance, there were still three people.

Upon arriving, he saw two men and one woman, all at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

The men looked to be around thirty, while the woman looked better preserved, appearing to be in her late twenties.

He reckoned he was the oldest one there.

When they saw Gu An approach, they were quite surprised.

“It’s rare, are you nearly fifty, Senior Brother?” the plainly dressed man said.

Gu An nodded, “I am indeed a bit older.”

“Brothers of your age in the Outer Sect usually don’t like to take risks but try to find a position,” the plainly dressed man said with a smile.

“I want to give it one last effort,” Gu An simply replied.

With that, the other person didn’t say much more.

After waiting a little longer, a middle-aged man with a slightly dark complexion and a scar on his eyelid joined them.

“One person short?

Seems they chickened out,” the middle-aged man laughed.

“It’s normal.

Since they don’t cherish the opportunity, let’s set off.

By the way, I’m your guide.

My name is You Hong; you can ask me any questions.”

Gu An looked at the other party and sensed that his cultivation was higher than the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, which quite shocked him.

It seemed he needed to behave.

This must be an Inner Sect Disciple called in to handle things.
