Chapter 131: Chapter 131: When the Elder’s Blade Falls, It’s Time to Die

Gu An lay on the bed, silently reciting the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

He needed to calm himself down.

There was that woman and Chu Meng’s involvement, giving him certain conditions to survive.

However, it’s best to also take care of the tasks at hand.

Shangguan Nuan, he should take the opportunity to find out who this person is.

Additionally, based on the registration book from the senior sister,

It seems there are currently two forces below the mountain.

One is the Deacon Elder, and the other the elder sister who is a Direct Disciple.

The people in the Spiritual Treasure Vault should be under the Deacon Elder, so if he wanted to borrow power, he’d have to use the senior sister’s influence.

Unless the Deacon Elder’s people were also divided into factions.

Then, borrowing their power would be the best option.

Gu An continuously pondered.

The thoughts about his future performance in logging were so troubling that he couldn’t sleep.

What Chu Meng said was right, at his age, how could he easily sleep.

Shaking his head with a sigh, Gu An decided to stop thinking.

He really wanted to probe Ren Yinghua first.

Early in the morning.

Gu An was in the Spiritual Treasure Vault.

The time he was there was already noted above.

Apart from the first day when there were many people, the place rarely had visitors.

Only a few people who completed the Qianchen Peak tasks would come with their Identity Token to claim their rewards.

The Vault had all the basic resources.

In the morning, Gu An sat in the room’s chair, with nothing better to do but to look through the books.

It was the ledger for the vault.

Apart from basic resources, there were various tasks and the flow of resources in and out.

The General Warehouse would distribute enough resources, and if there were spare resources, one could apply for the General Warehouse to reclaim them.

Or if they were too old, the General Warehouse would directly reclaim them.

Gu An thought of the Iron Heart Wood axe.

If the General Warehouse reclaims it, then he would know the issue.

"Senior Brother Gu?" While Gu An was checking the ledger, suddenly he heard a respectful voice.

Lifting his head slightly, he saw a man in his thirties standing at the door.

Apparently, he came to collect resources.

Seeing Gu An look up, the man then entered.

He handed over an Identity Token and a slip:

"Here to collect resources."

Opening the slip, Gu An saw a broken spiritual stone tucked inside, slightly surprised.

There was a time when he was the one giving others spiritual stones, he never thought there would be a day when others would be giving him one.

Although it was just a broken spiritual stone, he couldn’t stop the resources collection.

Being given a broken spiritual stone also showed that the person had good intentions.

Unfortunately, befriending him brings no benefits, as he would soon be facing big troubles.

Many thoughts flooded in, but finally, he gently put them aside and asked, "A bottle of Pei Yuan Pills, a Foundation Establishment Spirit Sword?"

"Yes, thank you, senior brother," the man said with a smile.

The man was at mid-stage Foundation Establishment, with decent strength.

Gu An thought for a moment, avoided the old and problematic elixir pills, and with a move in the Array,

A spirit sword and elixir pills appeared on the table:

"Take it."

Saying so, he closed the slip along with the broken spiritual stone inside.

Seeing the style of the bottle, the man smiled, "Thank you, senior brother."

He seemed quite satisfied with the bottle.

After the man left, Gu An came back to his senses.

"It seems that the elixir pills people got before, weren’t necessarily the newest or the best."

As for how the man knew his name.

Naturally, there’s a nameplate on every desk.

Then two more people came.

Each person also gave a piece of broken spiritual stone.

It seemed they weren’t reassured if they didn’t give anything.

Gu An found it strange, was this position really that lucrative?

After all, what he did was his duty, nothing extra.

Even without giving a broken spiritual stone, he still had to dispense the elixirs.

Not giving was absolutely not allowed, nor was delaying.

If he gave problematic elixir, he would be in trouble if it was investigated.

After much deliberation, he finally set his eyes on the spiritual medicines that had been stored for a long time and were beginning to lose effectiveness.

Perhaps, they were afraid of receiving these elixirs, but according to the demand, there shouldn’t be too many such elixirs left.

It must be someone specifically doing this.

Thus, no one wanted elixir pills which lacked potency.

A piece of broken spiritual stone, it was just paying out what was due.

Gu An suddenly laughed and shook his head: "If they want to maintain this habit, the next time someone doesn’t give me a spiritual stone, should I give them a less effective spiritual medicine?"

With a sigh in his heart, Gu An felt that not everyone sitting here could resist the temptation.

Status, identity, spiritual stones, he almost had it all.

Having control over others’ interests, he could manipulate them.

At noon.

Gu An closed the door.

He lacked spiritual stones, but they were not so important.

Compared to others, he needed to be more open-minded.

After all, his cultivation primarily relied on logging.

Only the cultivation techniques required spiritual stones or merits.

Later, he went to the task claim area and found Ren Yinghua.

"Junior Brother, are you getting used to things here?" As soon as he went in, Ren Yinghua spoke with a smile.

"Still getting used to it, just discovered some things," Gu An spoke softly.

Ren Yinghua, who was sitting, was startled momentarily and smiled, "What happened?"

"I inspected the Spiritual Treasure Vault’s items," Gu An said.

Hearing this, Ren Yinghua frowned and said:

"Junior brother, the more you do, the more mistakes you make; sometimes it’s good to be muddled."

"I found some issues with the resources," Gu An directly stated.

Ren Yinghua’s eyes grew cold, but soon he spoke very sternly:

"Is this true?"

Gu An nodded: "It is true."

"Alright, I’ll note this down, enquire about it for you, and keep you updated. Don’t worry, it’s not your fault, it definitely won’t fall on you," Ren Yinghua spoke righteously.

Afterward, Gu An left.

This change perplexed him.

But he could only wait.

However, a wait turned into three days with no progress.

Five days later, still, no one came looking.

Half a month later, Gu An felt the other party might have forgotten about this matter.

"Is it being coldly dealt with?"

Gu An was quite surprised.

He sought out the person again later.

However, the person was equally enthusiastic, informing that the person he had notified had just taken up a Sect task.

Once he returned, there would be results.

Gu An wanted to say more, but the person assured there would definitely be a clarification.

Gu An felt like punching cotton.

A completely different handling method from Junior Sister Bai Qing.

But the outcome was the same, which meant no result.

That was delay.

Five days later, late July.

Gu An perceived the Ring of Destiny.

[Yesterday afternoon, Ren Yinghua addressed the people at the Spiritual Treasure General Warehouse, praising your insight for noticing the issues at the Spiritual Treasure Vault.

However, he mentioned you are inflexible and too prone to letting the issue leak, which he has suppressed. If you continue to publicize this matter, it’d cause him a headache, and he might have to ask the Deacon Hall to take you away, luckily you’re not influential enough to stir up a fuss.

The Spiritual Treasure General Warehouse folks mentioned that there’s no big issue and said that anyone positioned there for a long enough time would receive benefits and wouldn’t want to lose them. After a while, they would settle down.

Then, leveraging their roles, they gather spiritual stones.

Cultivators, who doesn’t like spiritual stones? Eating the sweet fruits for a long time, when the elder finally steps down, it would be his turn to die.

Eventually, it’s necessary to clamp down.]]
