After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 124: You’re Allowed to Have Improper Thoughts About Me

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: You’re Allowed to Have Improper Thoughts About Me

Body Refining Techniques shouldn’t be too expensive.

But he never considered buying Cultivation techniques.

His Qi Sea Sky Gang envelops his entire body, and his Sea Suppressing Fist is powerfully offensive.

His other magic techniques are likewise not bad.

He has even replenished nine red beans for his Planting Beans into Soldiers technique.

Not only that, all possess Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

In combat, he holds quite a few advantages.

Not to mention, he has prepared a pile of beans.

A casual toss results in hundreds and thousands of bean soldiers.

Their power may be lacking, but their numbers are terrifying.

With such capabilities, he needn’t waste time on Body Refinement.

Currently, Hard Cultivation and magic techniques are nearly not enough to sustain his own Cultivation Technique and Qi Sea Sky Gang, let alone learning additional Body Refining Techniques.

Progress would become even more difficult.

Learning halfway and then quitting feels like a waste of Hard Cultivation effort.

Body Refining Techniques are a form of Cultivation Technique, and they should consume Hard Cultivation too.

However, he indeed has some Hard Cultivation to spare now.

After all, he can still learn them if he wants to advance his Qi Sea Sky Gang.

But while Body Refining Techniques might be cheap, he has neither Merit nor Spirit Stones.

He has nowhere to even make a purchase.

Returning to his residence, Gu An is quite weary.

Upon closer inspection, he notices that the noodle is nowhere to be found.

He doesn’t need to bother with it, as Chu Meng had said it would disappear every now and then, probably off on a trip.

It should return in a few days.

Afterward, Gu An went back to his room to rest.

He had just settled down when he expected Chu Meng to visit.

However, a week passed, and Chu Meng did not appear.

The noodle was also missing.

And finally, he managed to make a notch in the Iron Heart Wood.

But the Warm Current only appeared once.

With this pace, when would he be able to advance his techniques, in the Year of the Monkey?

For the first time, Gu An realized he had suffered a big loss by joining the Inner Sect.

This place is simply not meant for living.

He wanted to go to the Outer Sect.

The Outer Sect was the most suitable for him; felling Green Sun Wood by day and cutting Shocking God Wood by night.

He could advance to Golden Core in just a year or two.

And in the span of a year, he could also find ways to obtain Cultivation Techniques.

But now...

A Warm Current once every ten days.

Ten times in three months, not even enough for a single advancement in a year.

Perhaps it’s the fault of the Iron Heart Wood.

He needs to figure out a solution quickly, to avoid being stuck in this position.

Another five days passed.

June the first.

Gu An finally awaited Chu Meng’s arrival.

"You really picked quite the spot," as Chu Meng walked step by step towards the house, looked around and said, "This place has nice scenery, the only issue is the thin Spiritual Energy.

You do have self-awareness, not choosing a better place.

But how will you advance your cultivation like this?"

As she spoke, Chu Meng made her way to the hall and then placed some food on the table.

Seeing Gu An’s gaze fixed on her, she was somewhat surprised, "Hungry for the company of an Immortal after not supporting one in the Inner Sect?

Staring is fine, thinking is fine.

After all, with my natural beauty, it’s understandable for you to have thoughts.

But don’t make a move; I’m not interested in you.

Just give up on that idea."

Gu An: "..."

You really can think.

Gu An seriously replied, "Senior, do not misunderstand, this Junior is wholly devoted to the True Dao and harbors no inappropriate thoughts."

"It’s okay to think about it," Chu Meng said while eating peanuts.

"I really haven’t thought about it," Gu An responded.

"You can think about it."

"I truly haven’t thought about it."

Chu Meng sighed, "You’re not being honest."

Then she changed the subject, "I came to see if you were causing any trouble here, you haven’t killed anyone, have you?"

"Senior makes a joke," Gu An was not particularly inclined to respond.

He then shared his own concerns:

"Do you have any Body Refining Techniques?"

"Iron Heart Wood Cutting?" Chu Meng, while nibbling on peanuts, raised her eyebrows slightly and asked.

Gu An nodded: "Yes, it’s a bit difficult."

"Then just don’t cut it. Many people don’t. It’s specifically for tempering the body, but it’s too scarce and the effect is mediocre.

Most of those people are just going through the motions, hardly anyone truly completes it." Chu Meng spread her hands: "It’s a waste of time to spend it on this, better to follow someone and cultivate properly."

Gu An looked down; logging would make the cultivation progress faster.

"Then do you have any cultivation techniques?" asked Gu An.

Chu Meng didn’t seem to care, replying: "Of course, what kind do you want?

A good one or just a normal one?"

"Is it expensive?" Gu An asked.

He had never thought about getting it for free.

"We’re allies, talking about money hurts the relationship." Chu Meng took out a piece of paper:

"Just write an IOU, 5000 Spirit Stones."

Gu An: "....."

So much for hurting the relationship.

Afterward, he decided to first check out the Body Refining Techniques.

Chu Meng took out three Body Refining Techniques.

One was the "Vajra Refining Qi Technique", the second was the "Hundred Veins Casting Technique", and the third was the "Five Organs Innate Strength".

Gu An looked through them one by one.

Roughly understood them.

The first could cultivate a Vajra Body, the second made the hundred veins indestructible like treasures, the third nurtured the body with strength stored in the Five Internal Organs.

"Senior, which one do you think is the best?" Gu An asked.

"The first one is quick to master, the second is the most ferocious in attack, and the third is suitable for maintaining health, the slowest in cultivation," Chu Meng casually replied.

"Does the third have the longest path?" Gu An inquired.

"The farthest one can reach is only the Golden Core, it’s not a matter of how far, there are further steps afterward," Chu Meng pondered and said:

"However, you could learn the third one, it adds some longevity, which fits very well with your Innate Longevity Technique."

"Then I’ll take the third one," Gu An decided.

As long as it could alleviate the pain of logging.

He then signed the IOU for 5000 stones.

Hua Jiyang was better, giving away cultivation techniques freely.

Of course, Chu Meng would scare him if she gave it away for free.

Hua Jiyang giving it away for free would make him suspect an ulterior motive.

No normal person would do such a thing.

Putting the IOU away, Chu Meng smiled: "That jerk already knows you’ve joined the Inner Sect."

Gu An’s heart skipped a beat; this wasn’t exactly good news.

"This is a good thing," Chu Meng spoke up:

"Knowing you’re in the Inner Sect, they’ll surely assign more appropriate tasks, and then, once you’ve accumulated enough tokens, you can go wherever you want."

Gu An lowered his gaze, pondering for a moment: "Senior, in your superior’s command, are there more Inner Sect Disciples or Outer Sect Disciples?"

"Of course, the Inner Sect," Chu Meng was taken aback, lamenting: "The competition has gotten tougher, you joined the Inner Sect too soon."

Gu An regretted it too.

He could have been logging comfortably in the Outer Sect, but now he had to face Iron Heart Wood every day.

Making no progress at all.

Both let out a sigh at that moment.

"The competition has intensified; you need to work hard. Whether I get to enjoy good food and spicy flavors depends all on you," Chu Meng earnestly stated.

Gu An: "...."

Is it appropriate for you to say this? Won’t it dampen my enthusiasm?

Afterward, Chu Meng hesitated, then left behind half of the peanuts: "Work hard."

With that, she picked up the tray and left.

Gu An stared at the half-bowl of peanuts in silence.

Are these things really that tasty?

They’re used to win people’s favor.

Gu An tried one, it tasted the same as before.

Then, without further thought, Gu An decided to start learning the "Five Organs Innate Strength".

But before he could start, he heard the sound of water.

He went out to take a look.

He found Noodle had returned.

Not only that, but it was followed by some fish, expanding the small pond.

Seeing Gu An, Noodle immediately hopped onto the shore, frantically waving.

Gu An stepped forward, appearing by the shore.

Seeing this, Noodle opened its mouth, and a Spirit Stone was spat out.

Gu An was full of question marks.

Did it bring back gifts from its travels?

Were they found, or did it work for them?
