After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 29 - : Newcomers "Borrowing" Spirit Stones as Soon as They Arrive

During the logging period, Gu An saw quite a few people gathered at the entrance.

"What are they doing?" Gu An asked.

"The Outer Sect manager has specifically come to teach the newly recruited disciples how to cut down the Green Sun Wood. They don't have tasks assigned, but as long as the logging is done properly, there are quite a few benefits," Hua Jiyang said, somewhat surprised as he looked at Gu An.

"You didn't know? Didn't anyone guide you when you joined the Sect?"

Gu An did not answer but simply asked, "How many prodigies are there this time?"

He did not tell the other party when he had joined the Sect.

Nor did he say how he joined.

Just pretend to be someone who was normally recruited.

To avoid causing trouble for himself.

"Three prodigies, the strongest is a girl with clear spiritual insight, she is destined to join the Inner Sect. Now you can still call her a junior sister, but later you will have to call her senior sister," Hua Jiyang said with a smile.

Then he led Gu An over there: "Let's go, get to know those three. Be nicer to them when you meet in the future; it might just be a good relationship.

I really envy these geniuses. We Outer Disciples encountered malice when we joined. Their lives have been very smooth from the start, filled with kindness everywhere.

So the Sect looks different in the eyes of different disciples."

Gu An listened and expressed his agreement.

However, he did not complain.

Nor did he feel why there are so many talented people, why there can't be more like him.

At this point, the natural course of action is to work hard to make one's own life better.

In the past, Gu An saw many disciples standing, and a middle-aged man holding an ax started to explain the technique of circulating Qi.

"These things weren't taught before. Now that there are three prodigies, they have started teaching them," Hua Jiyang clicked his tongue.

Gu An nodded, but it's inevitable that talented individuals receive better treatment.

Complaining down here felt like the mutterings of cannon fodder villains.

However, he also saw those three prodigies.

The one leading was a girl dressed in lavish clothes, next to her stood a boy with a decent demeanor, and the last was a somewhat bewildered girl dressed in plain clothes.

Probably of common origin.

But comparing oneself to a cannon fodder villain, then the protagonist is not usually a prodigy, but someone in the corner.

Unfortunately, after looking around, there are too many potential candidates to be certain.

"Now that new disciples have been recruited, issues follow," Hua Jiyang shook his head.

"Issues?" Gu An was slightly puzzled.

"With that question, I'm starting to doubt whether you're new here," Hua Jiyang said impatiently.

I really am new here, Gu An thought to himself.

Hua Jiyang didn't dwell on that, instead saying: "The newly recruited disciples don't have much strength, but receiving five Spirit Stones is not a small amount.

Once they get the Spirit Stones, there will always be people from the east, west, north, and south who will start hoarding Spirit Stones under the pretext of needing to borrow them due to tight circumstances.

These new disciples can hardly resist.

Not just them, other disciples who've been in the Sect longer with weak cultivation or who are alone will also become targets for these Spirit Stone loans.

It's only the deep east that is a bit safer."

"This side is safer, huh." Gu An spoke softly.

Hua Jiyang smiled and said: "Yeah, but the east side is near the Green Sun Wood, and the Spiritual Energy is all absorbed, naturally thin.

And with thin Spiritual Energy, loggers cannot recover their status quickly.

Failing to meet standards almost becomes inevitable, so who would come here to 'borrow' Spirit Stones?"

Gu An was somewhat surprised, so that's how it is.

But coming here, there's hardly a day to stand out.

Though there are fewer problems, there's also not much hope.

Still, it suits someone like me.

The senior brother probably thought I was too old, and that it would be good enough if I could just retire peacefully.

"However, occasionally people also come to the east 'to borrow' Spirit Stones, so just be cautious during this period," Hua Jiyang casually mentioned.

Then he went back to logging.

Gu An followed.

There was still some time before receiving the Spirit Stones, so he didn't need to worry too much.

The Sect's recruitment of new disciples has indeed attracted a lot of attention.

It seems everyone is due to meet the talented disciples.

After all, they worry about provoking them.

"Do geniuses also have to stay in the Outer Sect?" Gu An asked Hua Jiyang while returning to logging.

"Of course not," Hua Jiyang said while logging.

"They will be directly taken to the various Main Peaks, where there are also Outer Disciples.

Some who show promise will be kept there.

Additionally, those who are particularly favored may be taken in directly as Disciples, then become Inner Sect Disciples.

There are differences among Outer Disciples too, with the worst living in the east and the best at the foot of the peaks, and there are quite a few who 'borrow' Spirit Stones from those at the foot of the peaks."

Gu An listened somewhat sadly: "Doesn't the Sect care?"

"What's there to care about 'borrowing' Spirit Stones?" Hua Jiyang said.

"And what if they don't lend?" Gu An asked.

Hua Jiyang didn't care whether Gu An's question was too naive, simply responding:

"Of course, it leads to conflict. Unless there's death or disability and no one to back them up, it usually ends with nothing done, and the Law Enforcement Hall won't interfere.

Cultivation, you see, is not always smooth sailing - if it were, it would be like a sheltered young girl, innocent of worldly matters."

Gu An nodded, sensing some trouble.

For many people, Spirit Stones are actually very important.

It's one thing to have them taken away once, but if it happens over and over.

Then others will grow stronger and stronger while oneself will become weaker and weaker.

In turn, one becomes increasingly unable to escape predicaments.

Gu An fell silent for a moment. If someone came to borrow Spirit Stones from him, should he lend them or not?

In the end, Gu An concluded that he should focus on improving first.

With a high enough cultivation level, it wouldn't matter whether he lends them or not.

Currently at the Qi Refining Sixth Level, if logging went smoothly, advancing to the seventh layer wouldn't take too long.

After that, Gu An focused exclusively on logging.

As the Warm Current slowly entered his body, his Spell statistics also began to change.

[Magic: 5/50]

[Magic: 6/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 21/100]

The following days were relatively stable. In seven or eight days' time,

Gu An found that his Magic was full again.

This time, he still used it on Qi Sea Sky Gang.

The sensation of continuous accumulation appeared once more.

Once the values reset, the Gang Qi in the Qi Sea was full again.

Continue to release.

And thus fixed at the Third Stage.

Gu An specifically tested it out; the Third Stage Gang Qi didn't add much to his attack.

It still required accumulation.

For normal people, accumulating to three layers is quick, but it slows down afterwards.

His advantage had just begun.

However, from now on, Gu An noticed that the previously rather dispersed Outer Disciples were starting to group together in twos and threes.

Hua Jiyang asked Gu An where he lived.

Gu An answered truthfully.

After hearing it was still in the deep eastern side, he was stunned.

In the end, he said he originally wanted to team up with him to resist, but now there was no need.

Still, Hua Jiyang told him to be careful.

Gu An nodded in agreement.

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

Another eight days passed.

Gu An found that his Magic was full once again.

Once again, he used it on Qi Sea Sky Gang.

The sensation was still akin to the previous ones, as if stuck in a long process of accumulation.

When he awoke again, he had smoothly entered the Fourth Stage.

The progress was quick.

But still, there was no significant power.

However, Gu An was not in a hurry, knowing that after five more improvements, the Gang Qi fog would certainly be astonishing within the Qi Refinement level.

He could easily overpower those at the same level.

But before the Gang Qi could become fog, Gu An got the message to collect his resources.
