After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 184 - 183: Why Don’t You Find a Daoist Couple? (Two-in-One)

Chapter 184: Chapter 183: Why Don’t You Find a Daoist Couple? (Two-in-One)

"By the way, where is the Blood Refining Sect located?" Gu An suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Chu Meng looked surprised: "You don’t know?"

"Should I know?" Gu An retorted.

"The Blood Refining Sect is to the east of us, not very far away. Disciples who go out occasionally have conflicts," said Chu Meng, picking up a plate.

Gu An still didn’t understand.

Chu Meng looked at him with some astonishment: "You don’t know about these things at all? Do you know where the Cangmu Sect is located?"

Gu An shook his head, explaining: "Since I have memories, I have only been near Vajra Wood; I’ve never been to other places nor have I inquired about them."

Chu Meng looked at Gu An in shock, scrutinizing him closely.

Gu An didn’t feel anything particular, nor did he feel guilty.

After a long look, Chu Meng sighed: "Is there such an enchanting Immortal in the attic by the Vajra Wood, captivating your soul?"

Gu An: "..."

Why would you think that?

Chu Meng didn’t dwell on it but continued:

"The Cangmu Sect is located in the westernmost part of East Dao Ancient State, bordering West Spirit Wood State. Behind our sect, there’s an endless mountain range known as the Ancient Ridge Mountains, and it’s said that the trees of our Sect all come from within it.

However, other sects that have gone there found nothing.

Thus, where exactly our sect’s ancient trees come from is hard to say.

The Blood Refining Sect is to the east of us, occupying a spirit vein, and their strength is quite formidable."

Gu An pondered for a moment: "So, if someone from the west wanted to get to the east, wouldn’t they have to pass by the Cangmu Sect?"

Chu Meng shook her head, saying, "Of course not. This place is in the mountains, which are quite treacherous, and normal people wouldn’t travel this path.

There are more connections than just this, and the boundary between the two states is said to be along the coast, with many ways to cross."

"What is the strength of our Cangmu Sect within East Dao Ancient State?" Gu An asked curiously.

"The locations connected by the mountains are basically away from the bustling areas. Our sect is not weak in the southwestern part of East Dao Ancient State, but not strong among the entirety of East Dao Ancient State.

In all the known great states, we do not rank."

"Then which sects do rank?" Gu An asked curiously.

Chu Meng, eating peanuts, said: "The number one Immortal Sect in East Dao Ancient State, the Dao Sect."

"To exorcise demons and safeguard the Dao?" Gu An asked.

"Definitely. How else would they be called the top Immortal Sect? Their reputation is also their benefit. It’s also said that some people in the Dao Sect are devoted to exorcising demons and safeguarding the Dao," Chu Meng said with some admiration. "It is rumored that many years ago when demons were rampant everywhere, it was then that the Dao Sect was born. At that time, the Dao Sect truly deserved everyone’s respect.

As for now, I don’t know if they have changed."

Gu An nodded, "Initial intentions are easy to establish but difficult to maintain, especially as times change."

"You should spend some time in the Scripture Pavilion reading more books when you’re free; don’t always linger in the loft, as indulgence leads to distraction.

If it’s hard, perhaps find a Daoist couple—sticking with that scoundrel isn’t good either," Chu Meng advised soothingly.

Gu An: "..."

Indeed, I haven’t really read those books because all these things seem too remote. It’s more urgent to enhance my cultivation first.

"By the way, do other sects also practice logging?" Gu An asked.

"How could they?" Chu Meng looked at him as if he were a fool:

"Which sect has as rich spirit wood resources as ours?

Not to mention various special woods, even ordinary wood isn’t something they have a lot of.

Otherwise, why would they trade with us?

But they have Spirit Ore, which we don’t, so we also need to do business."

Afterward, Chu Meng talked about many things, such as matters regarding tea.

"The next time I come, if you don’t serve me tea, see if I will be as amicable as today," Chu Meng said as she walked away, then looked back and added: "Next time, remember to call me Senior Sister Chu, calling me elder feels too distant."

Alright, Elder.

Gu An thought to himself.

Afterward, he breathed a sigh of relief because logging Blood God Wood alleviated Heart Poison.

The cultivation technique was still some days away from completion.

So the logging must continue.

The last few days of this month will be for logging Blood God Wood, next month’s half will be for Heart Devouring Wood, then continuing at the Left Courtyard logging Blood God Wood.

It’s a balance of tightening and relaxing.

It can maintain a balanced body without problems.

However, the advancement in cultivation will slow down, probably around two months.

Currently, I can only improve one more time.

Subsequent cultivation techniques would need the Longevity Sect, but I have never heard of them.

Will have to see when the time comes.

Luckily, currently still trapped by the third volume of Qi Sea Sky Gang.

So there’s enough time.

But on the last day of October, Gu An suddenly received a feedback from the Ring of Destiny.

[Yesterday afternoon, Elder Huang saw you in the backyard getting along well with a team, even helping you with logging work, feeling that you’re living too comfortably, and decided to find some trouble for you.

If possible, by leveraging this infiltration of the Demon Path, to eliminate you, but there’s no rush as long as your cultivation hasn’t advanced.

But he can’t let you live comfortably, he decided to transfer you from the first team to the second team, to experience the enthusiasm of the second team.

He said you cut off his money, so he cuts off your way of living.]

Seeing the feedback from the Ring of Destiny, Gu An was quite surprised.

Never thought he had cut off this Elder Huang’s financial path.

No wonder he has always targeted me.

But his cultivation should have exceeded Golden Core...

Can only wait for later, hope the other party has a conscience.

But to transfer oneself to the second team...

This is indeed a bit headache-inducing.

The members of the first team, although not enthusiastic, are pretty decent to him.

They don’t give him a hard time.

Senior Sister Duanmu even helped him a lot.

Now going to the second team, it’s uncertain how they will view him.

After dawn.

Gu An came out of his room.

First team’s Song Leader was sitting at the table with Duanmu Qingping and Cao Yuanfei, their expressions gloomy.

On the other side, Leader Hou was also seated, with seven or eight people standing behind him, the strongest only at the Golden Core Early Stage.

Two Golden Core Middle Stage, both dead.

The newcomers who were added are all at Perfect Foundation Establishment.

Now the second team is quite passive.

Gu An feigned surprise, eventually greeted them, and joined Song Feng’s side.

Duanmu Qingping also seemed quite angry.

"Just now, the Main Court passed on a message, your position has been moved," Song Feng said to Gu An:

"Today, you have to move out of the first team."

Gu An frowned, asking, "Where am I going?"

"To the second team," Song Feng said.

He indeed fears Gu An, but...

This man can really log woods.

Now that he has gone to the second team, doesn’t it mean the second team doesn’t need to log, while the first team has to?

A momentary heavy loss.

Duanmu Qingping also regretted why she introduced Gu An to the Left Courtyard.

If he hadn’t gone, the first team could have employed him.

One hundred and fifty Spirit Stones, they could afford.

After all, divided among five people, thirty Spirit Stones each.

Now where does the other party find the time?

Gu An is also not very willing, the second team has many hands but limited capabilities.

He might often have to go out on missions.

This is troublesome.

"From now on, you are a member of the second team," Leader Hou said to Gu An:

"Apart from missions, do whatever you want, I won’t stop you, and additionally, you can directly receive one hundred subsidy Spirit Stones when you come over.

We have many people here, but the capabilities aren’t great, so you might need to lead people to complete tasks."

Having finished speaking, Leader Hou stood up and said, "Your living place won’t change, and if there are any issues, you can come and find me anytime."

Then he led the people and left.

Gu An was somewhat surprised; it seems they didn’t make things difficult for him.

"Junior Brother," Duanmu Qingping said, "Junior Brother, do you still have time to log woods?"

Gu An was slightly embarrassed and thought for a moment before saying:

"There should be a little time."

"Then can we also hire Junior Brother at the price of the courtyard?" Duanmu Qingping asked.

"But I don’t know how much I can log," Gu An honestly replied.

"Log as much as you can?" Duanmu Qingping asked.

Gu An nodded.

With this, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu An is indeed a logging expert.

Though he seems a bit lean.

Of course, Duanmu Qingping also told him not to force himself.

Gu An naturally understood, but logging was still relatively easy for him, not too burdensome.

In early November.

Gu An started to pick up the second team’s axe to log woods.

Accompanying him was an Immortal at Perfection Foundation Establishment.

Seems to have just been recruited.

Not sure if it’s because of the Perfect Qi Breathing, but to Gu An, the Immortal’s Qi seemed off.

Should be around the Golden Core Middle Stage, but it was concealed.

Is this concealing cultivation?

Really a Golden Core Middle Stage, disguised as Foundation Establishment?

He himself is overt as soon as he reaches Foundation Establishment, overt again at Golden Core.

Easy to become complacent.

The other side, however, acted convincingly, something to learn from.

Wrote this in a hurry in the morning, just mixed it all together.
