After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 202 - 192: Business Is Business, War Is War_2

This person was quite poor.

He was at the Golden Core Early Stage, the same cultivation level as myself.

In the whole Storage Treasure, there were only twenty-six Spirit Stones, and twenty of those were obtained at noon by insulting me.

How does someone who can earn Spirit Stones so easily end up this poor?

No Spirit Stones, no Elixir Pills, even talismans were lacking.

He had only one passable Spirit Sword as a Magic Treasure.

I’ve seen poor people, but none so destitute as this.

*I really wondered what the other party spent all his Spirit Stones on.*

*He didn’t even look like someone who frequented the pavilion.*

Shaking his head in resignation, Gu An decided not to dwell on it further.

Currently, he had his own issues to deal with.

But he at least had no shortage of Spirit Stones.

With several thousand Spirit Stones, he could ponder what to buy next, or consider purchasing the Primordial Spirit Technique.

If Hua Jiyang wrote again, eighty percent of those Spirit Stones might not be saved.

Where the other party went, he did not know.

He was also unsure which Inner Sect Senior Brother was hostile towards him.

According to Chu Meng, Hua Jiyang was not simple.

Indeed, he was not simple, as he gave only good things.

The "Qi Breathing Chapter" and "Seven Emotions and Six Desires" from the Formidable Phenomena were both top-level secret books.

Plus, there was the follow-up to the Qi Sea Sky Gang and various pieces of information.

*What would be given next, he could not guess.*

Of course, non-giving was also normal.

*How could a normal person have so many good things?*

But even the noodles would bring good things, which he dared not take.

Not a single one.

Afterward, Gu An began to review the two assignments.

He had to complete two assignments by December, or there would be punishment.

Gu An hadn’t looked closely when he received them, but now he had the time.

Two assignments involving two Sects.

One was the Joy Sect, and the other was the Blood Refining Sect.

Staring at the two names, Gu An was stunned.

*Two Demon Sects?*

*And one had just been involved in a big dispute recently.*

*It was indeed a case of sparring over disputes but resuming business as usual.*

Suddenly, Gu An felt a surge of emotion.

This was something he hadn’t expected.

But as someone like himself, with a sensitive identity, going to the Blood Refining Sect would be very dangerous, wouldn’t it?

One had to know that Luo Yutong would definitely remember him, and although back then she didn’t know his true background, it wouldn’t be difficult to investigate all these days.

The Outer Peak certainly still had people in hiding.

This assignment might even be the work of those who were lurking.

"Not too good," Gu An mused.

Gu An sighed.

He knew a little about the Joy Sect; the Sect included both men and women, and they liked to use the Charming Technique for small gains.

So, every business deal required some kind of afterward payment, ultimately necessitating the payment of some resources.

Although it was troublesome, it was easily resolved.

Moreover, they wouldn’t initiate conflict, and their demeanor wasn’t overbearing.

In contrast, their demeanor would seem quite delicate.

It was even possible to engage in Dual Cultivation for negotiations.

In any case, the Joy Sect tested one’s stability.

Many wanted to go, yet feared becoming ensnared.

Especially those not habitually interacting with females, who were most easily trapped in the romantic web, unable to extricate themselves.

In the end, their futures were completely ruined.

Gu An reflected deeply, acknowledging those who went through great pains for his sake.

This time, the Joy Sect submitted a service claim due to architectural problems.

The back courtyard only dealt with two things: architecture and wood.

This time, it was about architecture.

At that time, if there were issues, a report would be made, and the Main Court would dispatch someone for a redo.

*He was unsure whether with his current self, it would be convenient to handle.*

Then he looked at the problem with the Blood Refining Sect.

The other party had bought Vajra Wood and found it couldn’t be burned, suspecting that other spirit wood had been used as fill.

They suffered heavy losses and needed an explanation.

Seeing this, Gu An furrowed his brow.

Vajra Wood?

Wasn’t that from the Vajra Wood Spirit Garden?

How could there be a problem with the wood from over there?

And it was the cheapest wood, to boot; what kind of spirit wood could be swapped?

Swapping for another would be a loss.

But why such a clumsy lie? Why would the other party say it?

*It was unreasonable.*

If there was a conspiracy, they would hardly use such a poor excuse.

Either it was true, or the other party simply didn’t care.

Just casually finding an excuse.

*Showing complete disregard for the Cangmu Sect.*

Gu An couldn’t be sure.

The next day.

Early December.

Today was the first, and everyone was going to collect resources.

Gu An was doing the same.

The Sect thirty, the Outer Peak two hundred.

Plus, one hundred and thirty Merit.

But the Merit wasn’t much, totaling just over two hundred.

*Not very useful.*

*To catch the attention of the Merit Hall, a lot of Merit, tens of thousands, obtained in a short time, was needed.*

Spending time accumulating without using was also an option.

*But it required more.*

Counting the Spirit Stones, Gu An found he had eight thousand four hundred sixty-three Spirit Stones.

There should have been nine thousand, but he had repaid six hundred Spirit Stones to the Left Courtyard.

So, it was less.

But eight thousand was still a lot, reminiscing the time when he couldn’t even come up with a few Spirit Stones at the Vajra Wood Spirit Garden.

His residence could have been repossessed at any moment.

However, compared to that time, his current situation seemed even more dangerous.

After collecting resources, Gu An returned to the courtyard at Qianchen Peak.

He fed some noodles and planned to do some logging. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Recently, he had elevated the Qi Sea Sky Gang once, and refined to Golden Core Perfection.

His strength had risen to the next level.

Through the refining, he felt his Golden Core became purer and more solid.

The two refinements enhanced his strength by thirty to forty percent.

*Sometimes, he really wanted to challenge a genius at Golden Core Perfection.*

*He was growing conceited, but he wanted to test his strength.*

While logging, the Blood Demon Divine Monarch was still in slumber.

So logging wasn’t noisy.

Late at night.

Gu An completed accumulating Magic techniques.

He then returned to the Outer Peak.

After ensuring there were no issues around, he elevated the Qi Sea Sky Gang to the second layer.

Everything went smoothly, after all, the Qi Sea Sky Gang only required accumulation.

This round of accumulation took longer than before.

*How could anyone complete nine layers at the Golden Core stage?*

*It was simply an unreasonable demand.*

*On average, one every hundred years, it would take nine hundred years.*

*With such a lifespan, I don’t even live nine hundred years.*

*This was not really for someone to cultivate, right?*

*Finding a long-living demon clan member might be more appropriate.*

Gu An was deeply reflective, but fortunately, he could cultivate it.

The Qi Sea Sky Gang had immense power, so learning it was imperative.

Otherwise, his combat strength would plummet.

Now having advanced two layers, the originally water-like Gang Qi began to form ice shards.

Stabilizing his Qi, Gu An gathered all the members of the second team, resources were distributed, rest was taken, and it was time to complete the assignments.

Afterward, Gu An informed the five individuals about the assignments.

These five looked over the assignments and felt a headache.

Especially the Blood Refining Sect’s assignment.

*This wasn’t an assignment.*

*Wasn’t it plainly sending people to death?*

Going to talk with them at this time was like a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth, wasn’t it?

They had just finished a battle with fierce animosity.

When words clashed, should a fight break out, dying would be in vain.

"Don’t be so pessimistic," Gu An told the five, "We are worried, and the Blood Refining Sect will naturally have concerns too."

The handovers should be carried out by Golden Core, rarely would a Primordial Spirit handle such small matters unless it was a major issue.

So with the same cultivation level, they would surely be fearful.

Especially since the Blood Refining Sect lost.

If this assumption was correct, the Blood Refining Sect likely needed after-sales service genuinely.

After all, if they were worried and still acted like this, they were also forced into it.

The five were silent, but they couldn’t refuse.

"How is Junior Brother Pang’s injury?" Gu An asked Pang Wen.

Pang Wen immediately replied respectfully, "It’s healed, thank you for your concern, leader."

He no longer felt any dissatisfaction or grievance after being defeated by Gu An.

"Good, then Junior Brother Pang, take Junior Sister Shu and Junior Brother Leng to engage with the Joy Sect," Gu An said.

Hearing this, Pang Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded in agreement.

"Junior Sister Ruan and Junior Brother Shang, come with me to the Blood Refining Sect," Gu An told everyone, "Go back and think carefully about how to handle the two Sects.

Give me your thoughts within five days, then we’ll finalize the plan and can set off."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Shu Ci stayed behind, her clothing less loose than before, though her graceful figure wasn’t fully revealed.

It occasionally showed through movements or when the wind blew.

Earnestly, she said, "Senior Brother, I’ve had interaction with the Blood Refining Sect, should I accompany you?"

Speaking respectfully, without affectation, nor deliberately highlighting her graceful figure.

Yet it made one anticipate the gentle breeze.

To glimpse the proud curve.

This woman was skilled.

But Gu An rejected her offer.

With her presence, it would ensure the Joy Sect wouldn’t cause trouble.

The Blood Refining Sect needed a visit from him personally.

Others were likely unable to complete it.

No need to lead them to death.

In the remaining time, he’ll quickly improve the Qi Sea Sky Gang, and see if he could visit the Longevity Sect.
