After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 82: Half the Spirit Stones Gone

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Half the Spirit Stones Gone

During his solo logging period, there were no surprises.

Time also passed quickly.

It was gratifying that the numbers continued to rise.

There was no slowing down yet.

This meant that, as long as Wanxiang Senluo did not enhance too much or didn’t enhance Qi Sea Sky Gang,

raising the others wouldn’t affect anything.

Of course, he could also contemplate on his own. Now he understood the magic techniques more, and learning some simple ones was actually quite fast.

Moreover, the cultivation strengthening this time brought significant improvements, even the spiritual pain during logging became much more bearable.

However, he couldn’t just keep logging; he needed to recite the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Chapter every day and then rest for half a day.

Only in this way could he continue.

July third day.

After Gu An came back from the Green Sun Wood Forest, he began to wait for the time.

Today marked the start of a new logging period.

He would be joined by others.

He didn’t want to stand out, going together provided companionship.

At night, Gu An waited at the usual spot.

The other two people soon arrived.

"Senior Brother, you are so early?" asked Zeng Lan.

Today, she was dressed in loose clothes, suitable for logging.

Her complexion was much better than before.

However, her Qi was still somewhat unstable, presumably due to not fully recovering from the physical strain.

Yu Tu was neither in particularly good nor bad condition.

It had always been like this.

"I came a bit early today," Gu An replied.

Saying this, he started walking up the mountain.

Originally there were four of them, but after last month’s dispute, only three remained.

Whether Feng Lin would still go logging was unknown, but he definitely wouldn’t join them.

Everyone knew of his methods.

Joining them again would be quite shameless.

"Senior Brother, without rest, won’t you be tired?" Zeng Lan asked.

Gu An nodded slightly: "Yes, just pushing through."

Then no one knew how to continue the conversation.

On the way Zeng Lan asked again:

"Will we receive Spirit Stones today?"

Hearing this, Gu An also became curious: "Logically, we should."

Yu Tu was somewhat excited: "Then, doesn’t that mean another six... six Spirit Stones?"

"Didn’t your childhood sweetheart say she was heading to the Inner Sect? Do you still need Spirit Stones?" asked Zeng Lan curiously.

"Need...needed." Yu Tu nodded seriously:

"No... but she said I need to temper myself. She, she indeed took the Spirit Stones, but actually, she’s, she’s keeping them for me.

When she thinks I need them, then she’ll, she’ll give them to me."

Uh...

Both Zeng Lan and Gu An sensed something odd.

Why wait until she feels Yu Tu needs them?

Not when Yu Tu feels the need.

"Do you have a marriage agreement?" Gu An curiously asked.

Yu Tu shook his head, then said: "This is a big, big matter in life, so she wants to properly test me.

Earning... earning Spirit Stones is one such test."

Gu An: "...."

After a pause, he asked again: "Have you ever thought that you might not pass the test?"

Yu Tu scratched his head and laughed naively:

"No, won’t happen, we, we agreed that as long as I behave well, I will pass."

"If, if you don’t pass in the end?" Gu An asked again.

"Then, then she’ll still return the, return the Spirit Stones to me, and find me a, a wife," said Yu Tu.

Gu An nodded, not speaking again.

What would happen exactly, he didn’t know.

It was up to Yu Tu.

Currently, their relationship was average, even if it were good, there wasn’t much that could be done.

Unless something happened.

Soon they arrived at the Thunder Wood area.

Everyone gathered together.

That woman was there again.

Indeed, Spirit Stones were being distributed.

After a moment, when enough people had arrived, the woman looked at the crowd and said:

"The distribution of Spirit Stones will now be managed by me, and we will continue to distribute first, then work as before."

Yu Tu was quite excited, and so was Zeng Lan.

Gu An quietly watched.

After a short while, many had received their Spirit Stones.

But...

Gu An looked at the Spirit Stones in his hand, four stones.

Half missing.

Many people noticed, and someone immediately asked: "Senior Sister, why only half?"

"Yes, why, why just half?" Yu Tu also asked.

The dissenting voices below were quite loud.

At this moment, a man wrapped in white bandages stood out and loudly said:

"Senior Sister has her reasons for doing this; the Inner Sect isn’t something we disciples can speculate about."

Gu An looked over and realized it was Feng Lin, with whom he had previous conflicts.

"Coming to log even with injuries? Why must it come to this?" Gu An couldn’t help but sigh.

But his own hands hadn’t been light; it had only been four days since he could walk?

The Senior Sister standing at the top looked toward Feng Lin, then addressed the crowd:

"Previously, Spirit Stones were distributed before logging.

But after the conflicts that occurred, I realized that if something happens, you guys can just take the Spirit Stones and leave, isn’t that a loss for us?

So, the remaining half of the Spirit Stones will be given at the end of this month."

The crowd was stupefied for a moment."

Then they looked at Gu An and Feng Lin.

Wasn’t it these two who had conflicts last month?

Facing these gazes, Gu An responded.

He looked back.

Those who met his gaze quickly turned their eyes away.

"If there are no problems, then continue logging," the Senior Sister said.

With that, people eventually left.

Despite the dissatisfaction, there was no solution.

Besides, they could still receive the Spirit Stones at the end of the month.

It wasn’t a big deal.

The initial dispute made many feel angry.

But this anger was mostly directed at Gu An.

After all, he was the one who initiated the physical action.

But not being equals, people dared not voice their anger.

Feng Lin, however, wasn’t viewed hostilely.

He had ingratiated himself with the crowd as a victim.

Gu An was curious, didn’t these people notice that the one speaking for that Immortal was Feng Lin?

Regardless, it didn’t affect his logging.

No one dared to take action, and it would have been better if they did.

Standing up for justice among fellow disciples.

To establish good relations and secure logging, one must emphasize peace and command respect.

July had some incidents, but fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Gu An also managed to advance Planting Beans into Soldiers to Small Success and moved the Qi Breathing Chapter into Small Success by the end of the month.

Four cultivations had become six.

All aspects were improving, and his sensitivity was increasingly sharp.

The Qi Breathing Chapter allowed him better control of Spiritual Energy and spirit.

His combat power had greatly increased.

Today was the last day before a break.

Everyone was waiting for the distribution of Spirit Stones.

They successfully received the Spirit Stones.

Yu Tu and the others were very happy.

But Gu An felt it wasn’t that simple.

Indeed.

On the third night of August.

It was time to distribute Spirit Stones again.

However, this time, the situation changed once more.

Everyone thought it would be half distribution, but this time not a single Spirit Stone was given.

And all they received was a sentence from the Senior Sister.

"If you haven’t started working yet, why distribute Spirit Stones? The advance distribution was a favor, not a right."
