After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 525 - 346: Will Someone Attend the Next Gathering for the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch?
The numerous monks, naturally understood the old monk’s meaning.
Also understood that those who entered could never return.
They glanced at the peaceful Cangmu Sect and quickly vanished into the night.
When they return, this place will be a whole new world.
The light of Buddhism will shine upon it.
Compassion will spread across the earth.
Regarding their departure, no one noticed, nor did anyone care.
Gu An only had a vague understanding of Buddhist Karma, but with Zuo Youyan standing in front.
No one would blame Gu An.
Currently, he only needed to deal with the person in front of him.
As for the matter of killing people, he certainly wouldn’t admit to it.
It was Zuo Youyan who killed.
"Senior, sit down, there’s no problem, and nothing required from the senior. You’re overthinking it." Gu An stood up to invite Chu Meng to sit.
The latter was skeptical: "Are you sure?"
"Sure." Gu An nodded, and then seriously said, "The Eye of Heavenly Punishment, I want to find it but can’t."
Chu Meng nodded, then pointed to the tea: "Is there really nothing you need me for?"
Gu An shook his head, confidently said: "Nothing."
So, Chu Meng finally relaxed and started drinking tea.
A moment later, Chu Meng curiously asked, "How many Spirit Stones for this tea?"
"One thousand Spirit Stones, enough for about ten brews, one brew costs about a hundred Spirit Stones." Gu An answered truthfully.
Hearing this, Chu Meng continued drinking tea, then said after putting down the cup:
The tea is nice, you put effort into it, but don’t buy it next time.
Before buying, investigate the price of these tea leaves.
If you really want to buy, it’s best to purchase at the sect’s Spiritual Medicine shop.
Theirs may be more expensive, but at least it’s genuine tea.
You can spend thirty Spirit Stones to buy a pack of Autumn Dew to try.
Gu An was somewhat confused.
He spent a thousand Spirit Stones on tea leaves, yet Chu Meng suggested spending thirty Spirit Stones to try a pack.
Is the difference that big?
It seemed pretty good indeed, with some Spiritual Energy.
Later, Gu An didn’t think much about it.
He would buy a pack to try when the time comes.
Then he asked Chu Meng why he came.
"I heard that the Buddhist sect aims at you, I had to come to check on my subordinate?" Chu Meng brought out some food and continued:
"By the way, I’m here to settle your task rewards."
Gu An was quite expectant as the rewards were finally being settled.
The last task he completed well, so the necessary things would surely be given.
Although Chu Meng gave some items before, there must still be other good things.
"Take this." Chu Meng handed Gu An a Token Fragment.
"This is the sixth piece." Gu An mentioned.
Then he took out the items and assembled them.
Sure enough, a triangle was still missing.
"Just three more to go, and your identity can change." Chu Meng said while eating peanuts, "Be diligent, then you can go almost anywhere you want.
Being a Direct Disciple isn’t a problem.
Becoming a True Inheritor is not easy.
After all, your qualifications are not sufficient, and truly becoming a True Inheritor, your troubles will be far from trivial.
So for now, don’t think about True Inheritor."
Gu An: "...."
You’re really optimistic about me.
I can’t even become a Direct Disciple.
With my current talent, being accepted by the master as a disciple is thanks to the Royal Family’s influence.
Otherwise...
It’s impossible to securely guard the First Institute like now.
Due to the First Institute, he found many things convenient.
Additionally, going to dangerous places doesn’t require exposing his strength, as long as he brings people from the First Institute.
Though occasionally they might cause trouble.
But everything has two sides.
Simply try to handle them better.
"Besides the fragment, there’s also this." Chu Meng handed a book to Gu An, then continued:
"This is what you wanted, Flying Snow."
Gu An was a bit surprised, then looked at the book.
It’s a piece of magic.
He couldn’t quite understand the front contents.
But one sentence was clear.
A single snowflake can kill immortals.
"The Returning to Void may not learn this technique, even entering would take quite a while, best to wait for another advancement."
"However, since you’re interested, I have a simpler version." Saying this, Chu Meng handed another book to Gu An: "This one’s easier to learn, not very powerful, but Returning to Void might barely suffice."
Gu An looked at the neat handwriting, with a bit of elegance, slightly curious: "Who wrote this?"
"Me." Chu Meng said eating pastries: "To let you, my subordinate, learn this magic, I pondered for a long time to simplify it for you.
Otherwise, why wait so long to deliver your rewards?
Really envy you having such a good superior.
If one day you fall for me as a superior, I think it’s understandable.
After all, I’m too good."
Gu An: "..."
You’re really involved.
But if what he said is true...
You should indeed envy having such a superior.
Of course, Gu An checked his status.
The Charming Technique emerged again.
"Is that all?" Gu An asked.
"There’s also this." Chu Meng took out a small bottle: "It’s Heavenly Spring Water, for cleansing burns caused by the Eye of Heavenly Punishment."
With this item, Gu An was relieved.
Because he didn’t know when he might be burned.
After all, when the tower strikes him, flames ignite.
It’s uncertain if other things approaching would do the same.
Then traces would remain on him.
Recently, with the Heavenly Maiden Lineage nearby, the burn marks can be easily noticed.
Having this item means there’s nothing to fear.
"Never let anyone know about being burned, no one alive has ever been burned and still lived well in this world."
