After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 123: Leave the Hard Work of Logging to Me

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Leave the Hard Work of Logging to Me

Gu An looked at Senior Brother Ye, who wore a smile yet emanated a chill, and bowed his head apologetically:

"Please punish me, Senior Brother."

"Punish?" Senior Brother Ye maintained his smile and said:

"Junior Brother is being too harsh. It was just a slight delay causing us all to wait a bit.

As a newcomer, how can you be punished?"

Gu An lowered his eyebrows and continued:

"Thank you, Senior Brother, but I still feel uneasy. I want to take on everyone’s logging tasks as a way to remind myself."

"Oh?" Senior Brother Ye was surprised: "You are quite understanding; it seems there are benefits to being older."

"I don’t know what the logging task involves?" Gu An earnestly said:

"In order not to delay your upcoming major competition, I want to go now."

"You have to understand something, each peak has its basic tasks, and Qianchen Sect is most prolific, while each small team also has its basic task.

The Sect’s basic tasks are varied, and the small team’s task is logging.

You six people, you mean to handle the work meant for six alone?" Senior Brother Ye asked.

"Yes, theoretically if it can be completed, I surely can do it," said Gu An seriously.

"If it takes a day’s time, then you won’t be able to follow us in cultivation, and you won’t be able to catch up," Senior Brother Ye asked with a smile.

He felt that the person in front of him was quite understanding.

He could save him a lot of trouble.

"My strength is inadequate, but if it allows other disciples under you, Senior Brother, to fully devote themselves to cultivation, I am already very satisfied," Gu An said.

"Very well," Senior Brother Ye pointed towards the small mountain:

"There lies the logging site; the Identity Tokens of the others are with you. Once the Spiritual Energy is filled, you can end and spend the rest of the time freely."

Gu An took everyone’s Token.

Each carried a look of disdain.

Seemingly naturally superior.

Only the worst trash needed to keep doing such menial tasks.

They just need to focus on their cultivation.

There is a bottom layer in the Outer Sect, and similarly in the Inner Sect.

Otherwise, who would do the work?

And in their eyes, Gu An was undoubtedly the bottom layer.

Old and with broken foundations, this is all he could be expected to do in the future.

They could command him as they wished.

Only Senior Brother Ye was kind, not directly making him do the most meaningless tasks.

Having taken the Tokens, Senior Brother Ye prepared to explain cultivation.

Gu An was contemplating how to use this thing, but then he was reminded: "Junior Brother, is there something else?"

Gu An shook his head and said, "I’ll go up now."

Saying this, he walked toward the mountain.

After he had walked a considerable distance, he heard Senior Brother Ye start explaining cultivation and the objectives for these years.

He made a plan for everyone.

Gu An looked at the Token and felt that his plan was just this.

Although he didn’t care much, the feeling of isolation wasn’t pleasant.

He was still too young; his mood could easily change.

He needed to cultivate well.

Compared to these people, he suddenly felt that Chu Meng, as a superior, was indeed good.

He walked all the way to the mountain.

Gu An saw the logging forest.

But there was no one else.

A small room, the management office for this place.

He knocked on the door, and after hearing a response, Gu An walked in.

Inside sat a young girl, with the cultivation at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

She wasn’t even at the Foundation Establishment stage yet.

"Senior Brother came for logging?" the girl asked.

Gu An nodded, although the other party wasn’t yet at Foundation Establishment, being able to sit here, she must also be no ordinary person.

He should not offend her.

"I’m not sure what the process should be?" Gu An humbly asked.

"You take an axe with your Identity Token, and then follow Senior Brother, but remember, no logging at night," the girl said.

Gu An went to register and noticed the girl also had a name tag, Bai Qing.

After registration, Bai Qing gave Gu An an axe and began to explain, "Senior Brother is here for logging, certainly you have the corresponding Token, just place it in the indentation on the axe."

"It can be taken out when full.

Please return the axe before dark, otherwise, merits will be deducted.

Additionally, the wood inside is called Iron Heart Wood, it requires pure Blood Qi to cut, so if your body isn’t strong enough, be careful, Senior Brother.

The fluctuation in Qi-Blood will be significant."

"Thank you, Junior Sister Bai," said Gu An as he took out a small box from his person and said, "Here’s a pastry, just for you, Junior Sister."

She didn’t mind.

She took it, but was slightly stunned as she opened it.

Carefully, she closed it.

Gu An then stepped out.

Due to the abruptness of the previous gift, Gu An used the box.

A single Spirit Stone was not omitted.

Outer Sect gets five Spirit Stones a month, those in Inner Sect below Foundation Establishment wouldn’t get much more.

And just at Foundation Establishment, at most ten Spirit Stones.

Leaving the room, Gu An looked towards the slightly dark forest and stepped into it.

This wasn’t an ordinary logging area, but a competition logging area.

No wonder there were no people around.

A competition lasting five years, totaling no more than twenty or thirty people.

Venturing deeper, Gu An chose a relatively thick tree, placed the Token in the axe, and began logging.

The first strike was light, barely touching it.

Clang!

The sound of metal striking rang out, followed by a rebounding force which evaporated some of his body’s Qi-Blood.

This strange sensation made Gu An feel odd.

It was his first time experiencing these side effects.

Previously, it was just burning sensations on the body, attacks on Spiritual Energy, and mental shocks.

Directly dispersing body Qi-Blood was a first.

"No wonder it requires abundant Qi-Blood."

Gu An felt quite emotional.

Logically, Mountain Opening Fist should increase Qi-Blood, but it seemed useless.

"Do I need to practice a Body Refinement Method?"

Gu An pondered as he continued to log.

Although uncomfortable, he couldn’t stop logging.

The harder he worked, the less time he had to remain at Foundation Establishment.

To cultivate Qi Sea Sky Gang, he must enhance it six more times.

It would delay for a year or two.

And any extra Hard Cultivation must be used for tempering.

Currently, there was no essential need for him to temper himself.

But not tempering was also a waste.

After one day, Gu An felt like his body was falling apart.

Yet, the Token was not full.

Fortunately, as soon as Inner Sect starts, it’s audited monthly, so there’s no need to be overly concerned.

Thus, he returned the axe and walked away.

Seeing Gu An leave, Bai Qing was somewhat surprised; this was the first time she saw someone log all day on their first visit.

The next day, Gu An had noodles with fish and shrimp, and then he arrived at the small square.

Those people seemed early, perhaps studying Magic, but as soon as he arrived, Senior Brother Ye stopped explaining and said, "Junior Brother, continue logging."

Gu An didn’t mind, he nodded and left.

The others looked smug.

Thus, Gu An took the axe and continued logging.

His body was still the same, Qi-Blood dissipating, hard to maintain.

By evening,

He returned the axe, the Token still hadn’t lit up.

It was far from enough.

Progress was too slow.

Especially since it had been two days, and the tree hadn’t even been nicked, nor had there been any Warm Current.

Such progress was intolerable.

He must learn a Body Refinement Method.

But where to learn?

He couldn’t contact Hua Jiyang or Chu Meng.
