After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 13 - : Not Giving You the Chance to Speak

Gu An stood at the doorway, watching Chu Meng.

He had thought about sneaking out.

But the other party would surely notice.

That would only make things worse.

It would be better to go out openly.

After all, the other party would never imagine that he was going out to chop trees.

Then he spoke softly, "I'm going to earn a living."

"Do you live that poorly?" Chu Meng asked curiously.

"Would I be drinking plain porridge every day if I weren't?" Gu An retorted.

Chu Meng was at a loss for words for a moment.

Gu An did not linger and stepped away.

Arriving at the Spirit Tree Garden, there indeed were some guards, but they were rather lax.

There were also some arrays, but they didn't cover everything.

Nothing had gone wrong here for a long time, and some arrays that had malfunctioned were left without repair.

After all, fixing them would cost quite a bit of Spirit Stones.

So they remained as they were.

For Gu An, no fault was clearer than the rest.

So his entrance was very smooth, and even if he encountered someone by chance, he could use Hundred Steps Chasing Wind to dodge them.

The guards here were arranged by Manager Chen, and their strength was only around the Qi Refining second or third layer.

They were not a concern.

Some time later.

Deep inside.

Gu An stood in front of a robust Vajra Tree.

The disguise he had left before was still there, which meant no one had discovered it.

With that, he took out his axe.

He didn't know how long this tree could hold out.

What realm would he reach after completely chopping it down?

He threw out a soundproofing talisman before he started logging.

He got sixteen Spirit Stones, ten of which he gave to the manager of the yard, and with the remaining six, he purchased five more soundproofing talismans and a few Clean Body Talismans, as well as a Healing Talisman and a simple Defense Talisman.

Thus, the six Spirit Stones were all spent.

He went in disguise to make the purchases, fearing he would be watched.

With Hundred Steps Chasing Wind, few could track him.

Clang!

An axe strike went down, and a crisp sound rang out, leaving no significant mark.

It would take at least ten days to fell this tree.

Thump!

A muffled sound followed.

Gu An no longer pondered other matters, his mind focused solely on logging.

Then he felt a Warm Current entering his body; he hadn't been sure what it was before, but after advancing in cultivation, he thought it must be the absorption of traces of time and the Spiritual Energy within.

Only this could enhance his magic and greatly increase his cultivation.

That is to say, the older and more Spiritual Energy a tree has, the more value it adds when cut down.

Other trees, being too ordinary, required a long accumulation.

"I wonder what realm I would reach if I chopped down a Divine Tree."

Of course, it might also be possible that with his current cultivation, he couldn't cut down a Divine Tree at all.

But would trading a Divine Tree for several realms be worth it?

Thoughts raced through Gu An's mind, one after another.

In the end, he shook his head, dismissing these meaningless questions for now.

He should focus on the present instead.

The threat of poison and the Spirit Tree Garden hung over him like a knife.

If not handled properly, he would be beyond redemption.

As the Warm Currents entered, Gu An could distinctly identify two types.

A large one and a small one.

Each time the small Warm Current appeared, his magic value would increase.

When the large Warm Current appeared, his Hard Cultivation value would increase.

[Magic: 6/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 10/100]

[Magic: 9/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 11/100]

Feeling such changes, Gu An began to feel that he wouldn't be too passive in the future.

However, he also kept track of the time.

There was some time left before dawn, so he put away his axe, destroyed the soundproofing talisman, and used Hundred Steps Chasing Wind to leave.

Before dawn, Gu An returned to his dwelling smoothly.

Chu Meng looked at Gu An who opened the door and said, "Did someone come looking for me again?"

Gu An shook his head, "Not yet. Senior, when do you think the people from your side will come?"

"Do you think it's possible that the bitch has already been defeated?" Chu Meng smiled and asked, "Otherwise why hasn't she come looking for you?"

Indeed, that's what Gu An was thinking in his heart, too.

But if that woman had been defeated, what would become of him?

The poison inside him would claim his life.

Gu An remained silent, and began to prepare rice for breakfast.

It was just rice porridge with pickled vegetables.

"I want to eat baozi," said Chu Meng.

Gu An looked at her, continued to eat, then left after finishing.

Completely ignoring her curses.

It seemed that the longer time passed, the more venomous her curses became.

Gu An knew, this meant the woman's people could appear at any time to take her away—she was scared.

The defenses were crumbling bit by bit.

A silent imprisonment.

The unknown future was the most frightening.

Arriving at the Spirit Tree Garden, Gu An was the first to get there.

Seeing Yang Shi come over, he respectfully greeted him: "Leader Yang."

Yang Shi responded with a smile, cordially saying, "Boss, you don't need to come so early; we'd all feel embarrassed if you beat us to it."

"That's right, boss. You don't need to come so early; there's nothing going on," Qiu Hua chimed in with support.

She truly felt that way, but Gu An did not believe Yang Shi was sincere.

Don't be fooled by his seemingly earnest words now; who knew what he was really thinking behind the scenes.

Sure enough.

That night, while logging, Gu An felt the Ring of Destiny vibrate.

He read the message in his mind immediately.

[Yesterday morning, in order to find an excuse to chastise you, Yang Shi arrived at the Spirit Tree Garden early with the others, hoping to see you arriving late and use that as a pretext to lecture you. But to his surprise, he found you had arrived earlier than anyone else, which thwarted his planned tirade.

To ensure you would arrive later the following day, he deliberately took an appeasing tone to suggest you could come late. He was convinced you would indeed be much later, thus using the chance to berate you, accusing you of neglecting your duties, leaving your post without permission, and thoroughly dressing you down.]

Looking at the content, Gu An didn't ponder it overmuch, and continued chopping with his axe, feeling the Warm Current entering his body bit by bit.

His stats began to change.

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

[Magic: 20/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 15/100]

[Magic: 22/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 15/100]

Like the day before, Gu An finished logging.

On the way back, he saw a baozi vendor, hesitated, but did not go over.

He didn't want to be seen.

Otherwise, it would attract unnecessary trouble.

He could only wrong the senior this time.

Early in the morning, Gu An was again the first to arrive at the Spirit Tree Garden.

Yang Shi saw him, his expression darkened, but he said nothing.

He seemed unable to believe that the man before him was still so early.

Was he setting his position straight?

But it wasn't under his pressure, and that wasn't satisfying.

Another two days passed.

The value of Magic was full.

Gu An upgraded his Qi Concealment Technique.

There were no clear layers, but the concealment was increasingly fierce.

Maybe he could still improve it two or three more times.

Three days later.

Magic was full again, and the Qi Concealment Technique was further enhanced.

He felt that his manipulation of Spiritual Energy had improved a lot.

Before, he could still feel some ripples with the Qi Concealment, but now they were gone.

He deliberately concealed his cultivation and approached Chu Meng.

Her brow furrowed slightly, puzzled.

But she didn't voice her question.

Gu An knew that most likely she couldn't tell either.

With this, it was almost complete.

After tonight, he could start to enhance his cultivation.

He had reached the necessary stats.

Qi Refining Fifth Layer, although not bad, still no match for Manager Chen if he made things difficult.
