Chapter 353: Chapter 265: The First Institute’s People Are Practically Shining 2

"Zhang San has relented, saying he’s willing to teach the magic..." He recounted the other party’s words without missing a single one.

Gu An pondered for a moment and said softly, "He has a keen eye for choosing targets, picking the three weakest and those most easily promoted."

Pang Wen felt the same.

"No matter, the sooner taught, the sooner released; the later taught, the more difficult it becomes," Gu An stated calmly:

"Let him write down the Cultivation Techniques he teaches, and once he reaches his goal, he can be released.

As for Zhuo Shide, it seems he has written quite a lot."

"Yes, Cultivation Techniques, Magic, and all the secrets he knows, not only that, he also wrote about some of the Sect’s situations," said Pang Wen after a moment of thought: "However, he is a fence-sitter, and it might not be good to release him."

"What do you think his value would be if we exchanged him for Spirit Stones?" Gu An asked.

Pang Wen hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"Then go back and discuss with Junior Sister Shu, assess his value.

Then have him write an IOU, and release him," Gu An said.

In fact, the things the other party handed over were already sufficient for his release.

It’s just that Gu An was deliberately holding him up.

As for the IOU, it’s useful when needed, and just a piece of paper when not.

Best to keep it anyway.

Having such a fence-sitter inside is also troublesome.

Those left, apart from the new Returning to Void, were just the initial two and Chen Changfeng and Zhao Qingshan who were unwilling to leave.

The others could actually be released.

Seven people.

Zhao Qin and Qiao He could be released at an opportune time as long as Zhao Qingshan is willing to teach others.

In this way, only five would remain.

And so, First Institute would be peaceful.

The fewer the people, the safer those in the First Institute are.

These people are involved in too many Sects, and keeping them here could easily cause other issues.

For a bit of unnecessary profit, there’s no need to put those in the First Institute at risk.

After all, all the Sects and Cangmu Sect are still at war, and everyone is still on high alert.

Any rash actions could happen.

Upon receiving the message, Pang Wen returned to the First Institute.

The people of First Institute found it strange that their leader seemed less and less involved personally.

Probably because everything was within expectations.

"Controlling the situation behind the scenes," Ruan Huan spoke.

"Actually, I asked around, it seems only our place is relatively normal.

Everywhere else is chaos," said Shang Huo.

"That’s because the other places have interference from people of various peaks, only our place does not," Yang Qi spoke: "I asked my fellow villager, she said to not be fooled by the glamor of the other institutes and their impressive lists.

But in truth, their real master has changed.

Only here is Senior Brother Gu still in charge.

This is just the beginning. If the benefits here grow larger, Heavenly Suspension Peak might also have people coming over.

Senior Brother Gu might face trouble."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

No wonder the leader urged them to rapidly improve their cultivation.

It seems there’s no room for slacking off.

Three days later, new documents appeared in First Institute.

Four people were to be released.

Pang Wen and Shu Ci came down and informed Zhuo Shide and the others: "The leader has agreed."

With that, they had Zhuo Shide and the four others sign.

They were somewhat excited: "Can we really leave now?"

"Go," Pang Wen said.

"You’re not going to take us to another institute as soon as we leave, right?" Zhuo Shide asked.

Shu Ci smiled and said: "Are you still planning to go out, senior?"

Zhuo Shide immediately signed.

Before leaving, he bowed to Zhao Qingshan and the others: "Then, junior will depart first."

Watching the four depart, First Institute gradually quieted down.

Seven people remained.

"Daoist Zhang San will soon be released as well," Zhao Qingshan said.

"Why is Daoist Zhao still here?" Zhang San asked, curious.

Zhao Qingshan smiled faintly and said, "Who knows? It seems our leader is not in a rush to send me away."

The others were also puzzled.

End of April.

At night.

Gu An kept swinging his axe, with sweat dripping from his body like water.

He hadn’t expected that logging would cause sweat.

But this wasn’t from fatigue.

It was a weariness of the spirit.

Causing him to break out in cold sweat.

The Moon Tree was indeed extraordinary.

He could fell one per day.

And there would be two Warm Currents in a day.

That meant it would take about two months to improve a magic technique by one level.

A bit slow, but much quicker than before.

Before the formal logging, he had hardened his Primordial Spirit with Hard Cultivation.

After strengthening his Primordial Spirit, he felt a strange sensation.

It seemed that he had more control over his strength.

His internal view of the body became even more lucid.

It appears Primordial Spirit still needed hardening.

Now, his Primordial Spirit was vast, and continuing to temper it...

At the same level, he feared he could be invincible even without Qi Sea Sky Gang.

With this thought, Gu An kept logging, chop after chop.

Midnight came, and he felt the Warm Current.

Hard Cultivation plus one.

Gu An exhaled in relief.

Here it comes, there should be another one before dawn.

Indeed.

After daybreak, Gu An felt the Warm Current again.

Magic plus one.

With that, Gu An chopped a few more times, and the Moon Tree fell with a crash.

Then he glanced at his panel.

[Name: Gu An]

[Cultivation: Primordial Spirit Perfection]

[Status: Poisoned Sea of Gas, Qi Sea Birth Xuanhuang]

[Magic: 19/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 9/100]

[Ring of Destiny]

He was almost there next month.

During this time, Gu An was busy logging here.

He barely visited the First Institute anymore.

Occasionally, Pang Wen would come over to report. A new group had arrived, with the strongest being Returning to Void, and the weakest being Golden Core.

Pang Wen suggested that if this continued, not every Returning to Void could have their own cell.

Gu An then instructed him to select those with value and give each one a cell.

Those of little value could all be thrown into the large cell.

Let them write down their Cultivation Techniques, Magic, or inform where their resources were hidden.
