After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 28 - : Begin Enhancing Qi Sea Heavenly Gang

The next morning, at the crack of dawn.

The tolling of the bell spread far and wide.

Gu An opened his eyes.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

It was time for logging.

Yawning, Gu An got up, ate some dry rations, and then left the house.

Looking at the slightly brightening sky, he couldn't help but feel it odd.

"It's kind of like going to work."

One could enter the Qingyang Wood Area for logging at any time, and many people were already on their way there.

The axes were distributed by the Sect.

Following the crowd, Gu An received one and headed towards a large tree without any marks of logging.

The Green Sun Woods were not small; it would take a grown man to embrace one.

Here, the trees varied in size, and only the large trees marked could be cut down.

The trunks were green with hints of red within.

This, Gu An observed from the trees.

Selecting a tree, Gu An swung his axe.

Bang!

A dull sound rang out as the axe sank into the bark.

But in an instant, a surge of scorching heat transferred from the axe into his body.

The sudden heat made Gu An quite uncomfortable; he reflexively let go of the axe and stepped back.

"First time here?" A sudden voice came.

Gu An looked to the side and saw a man in his mid-twenties.

Also at Qi Refining Sixth Level.

Since joining the Outer Sect, Gu An found it a bit embarrassing that he was at Qi Refining Sixth Level at his age.

"Yes." Gu An nodded and politely said:

"Junior Brother has made a fool of himself."

"Junior Brother?" The man pointed at himself and laughed: "No matter how you look at it, you are the elder one."

"The capable leads the rest, and Junior Brother looks barely in his twenties, yet has the same cultivation as me.

Sooner or later you will surpass me, a title of Junior Brother isn't too much." Gu An spoke.

"You really know how to speak; you'll live long, though it might be a bit stifling." The man laughed and said:

"My name is Hua Jiyang, and you?"

"Gu An." Gu An gripped the axe again.

Seeing this, Hua Jiyang laughed: "Logging also requires technique, and the breathing method doesn't only apply to cultivation but also to logging.

What cultivation technique are you practicing?"

"Nourishing Life Technique." Gu An replied.

"The complete version?" asked Hua Jiyang.

"Only up to the sixth layer." As it wasn't crucial information, Gu An didn't hide it.

If it were a progress in magic technique, he couldn't have told the truth.

Of course, the most important was the Qi Sea Sky Gang, even though it was just the first stage.

But not long from now, he might reach the Ninth Stage and complete the mist condensation.

It would surely become a killer move of his.

"Only at the sixth layer?" Hua Jiyang seemed surprised, then took out a book from his Storage Treasure and tossed it over: "Here, I'm giving it to you."

Gu An looked down; it was the complete Nourishing Life Technique, which could be cultivated up to Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

"Now watch carefully, the best refinement technique for logging is breathing; inhale and exhale, with variations in length and speed.

The motion of the axe in your hands should follow your breath.

And your breath should adjust according to the heat within your body and its speed.

The most important thing to be aware of is your body's endurance." With that, Hua Jiyang started logging.

Gu An listened and began learning.

This secret to logging wasn't too difficult, so Gu An learned very quickly.

By midday, he had fully grasped it.

The burning sensation in his body indeed began to diminish, but being his first time logging, he was still injured.

His internal organs felt as if they had been scorched by fire.

And the tree in front of him only had a notch.

The power involved with the axe was also minimal.

If not up to standard, there would be no merit for the month.

'It seems that merit isn't easy to earn.' Gu An was a bit surprised.

However, to his delight, the value of his magic technique had increased substantially.

There was also an increment in his Hard Cultivation value.

Certainly better than Vajra Wood.

Normally, with Vajra Wood, it would take several months of Hard Cultivation to max out the value.

Here it should be enough in one month.

If one is diligent, it would be even faster.

Moreover, he could log for ten years free of charge.

It was hard to imagine what his cultivation would be like ten years later.

"I'm done." At noon, Hua Jiyang put away his axe with a smile: "Junior Brother, keep up the good work. I'm going to check out the outside. I heard they've been recruiting disciples lately, just going to join the bustle."

With that, he turned and left.

Gu An watched his retreating figure, unsure whether the other had ulterior motives.

But since he provided me with a cultivation technique, I still owe him thanks.

I'll repay him when I have the ability in the future.

As for the Outer Sect recruiting disciples, Gu An was aware of it but never paid attention.

It had nothing to do with him.

He'd better just take care of himself.

Evening.

The bell rang again.

Everyone walked outside, and Gu An looked at the Green Sun Wood with a small gap, feeling a bit reluctant.

Given more time, he could have completed the task.

When he handed in the axe, he received the verdict of "unmet standards."

His merit was gone.

However, the disciple doing the counting looked at Gu An with a slight surprise.

As if to say, even at Qi Refining Sixth Level, he failed to meet the standards?

For a moment, Gu An heard the ridicule from the people around him, both overt and covert.

Somewhat embarrassed, he left quickly.

Thus, seven days passed.

He failed to meet the standard for three consecutive days.

He had no Spirit Stones left.

The tempering by the Green Sun Wood was more severe than he had anticipated.

He was still in pain the following day.

It wasn't until five days later that he gradually adapted.

Only then could he meet the standard.

Of course, meeting the standard was not important to him.

What mattered most was the added value from logging.

With that, Gu An glanced at his status panel.

[Name: Gu An]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Sixth Level]

[Status: Poisoned, Burnt.]

[Magic: 50/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 20/100]

[Ring of Destiny]

Sitting in his room, Gu An started to enhance his Qi Sea Sky Gang.

In the blink of an eye, he felt that he had entered a long period of accumulation.

The number value of his Magic was gradually decreasing.

When it fell to zero, Gu An felt that his Qi Sea was filled with Heavenly Gang Qi.

Only then did he open his eyes.

"Successfully entered the Second Stage, but I'm not sure if I can continue directly in the future."

Gu An wasn't certain about this.

But now that the Heavenly Gang Qi was full, it needed to be released.

He went outside and poured all of the Heavenly Gang Qi into his fist, throwing a punch.

Boom!

The sound of breaking through the air was heard.

Since it was aimed at the air, it was unknown how powerful this punch was.

However, in the moment of release, his extraordinary meridians were tempered again.

His Qi Sea could now hold more Heavenly Gang Qi.

After a rest, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've been here for several days, there's been no contact since logging in, I wonder if they will be able to find me after ten years."

Gu An sighed.

He did not want to be found, but was worried that they wouldn't be able to find him.

If they don't provide the antidote, then he would be done for.

Early morning.

The bell rang.

Gu An ate something and went back to the Qingyang Wood Area.

Apart from logging, he almost did nothing these days, not even having time to take a look around.

He knew nothing about the state of the Sect.

Because he lived in a remote place, there wasn't even a single person around.

Today, Gu An noticed that many people had come to the logging area.

Only when Hua Jiyang found him did Gu An learn that new disciples were also logging.

"I heard that this time they recruited three genius disciples, more than we've had in the past ten years," Hua Jiyang exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Gu An was somewhat surprised.

What kind of genius disciples were they?
