After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 542 - 354: You Look Younger?

Law Enforcement Hall.

Gu An looked at the surprised Dugu Jing and, after a moment of silence, said: "I only need the advance amount for one month. I’m wondering if that’s feasible?"

Dugu Jing gazed at the person before him, thought for a bit, and then spoke: "It’s not impossible. But Junior Brother, you must provide a reason, which needs to be applied for."

"The Six Courtyard competition is about to end, just as Senior Brother said, this is the last month." Gu An had already thought of a reason before he came:

"Therefore, many people surely can’t hold back.

Luo Sheng Hall should be the most stable place in the Sect.

So I wish to stay there for a while, as a way to avoid danger outside."

Dugu Jing didn’t say much else, but replied: "In the Sect, there shouldn’t be any life-threatening danger for Junior Brother. Perhaps Junior Brother is not very clear, but being cautious is still good.

I will apply for you now.

If Junior Brother is willing, you can head to Luo Sheng Hall today.

For a total of twelve days?"

"Yes." Gu An expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Afterward, Gu An went to Luo Sheng Hall.

This time it was still Leader He.

This time, she was seated at her workstation, reviewing documents.

There was no one around.

"Here again for logging?" She raised her brow and looked ahead.

Gu An performed a greeting ceremony and said respectfully: "Pardon me, Leader He, but could I change to a different tree this time?

I’ve been logging the previous one for quite a while and wish to experience other Spirit Trees."

Leader He looked at Gu An, paused for a moment, and said: "Do you like logging so much?"

Gu An continued: "Mainly because this is the only thing I can do well. I hope Leader will grant my wish."

With those words, he took out a box of pastries: "These are pastries I encountered last time during an outing. I’ve heard they taste very good, perhaps Leader would want to try them."

Leader He chuckled: "Pastries? With your cultivation, you actually still like eating this stuff? No wonder people look down on you, Golden Core Late Stage should be a good cultivation, yet it seems ordinary on you."

Of course, Gu An dared not retort and instead placed the pastry box on the table, saying: "I indeed have some cravings for them. Leader could give them a try, but if uninterested, that’s fine."

Leader He shook her head and eventually opened the pastry box.

The moment she saw inside, her arm instinctively moved, fortunately, not causing the lid to fall.

However, she quickly closed the lid again, and after a moment of silence, said: "Since you’re so thoughtful, I’ll try them later."

She then took out a Token and said: "Since you’ve logged the Snow Jade Tree, let’s switch to another.

Nearby is a tree called Heart Fire Tree, which assists by forming a burning flame within your body.

If used well, it can temper oneself.

If not handled properly, it can damage cultivation, even leading to a drop in current cultivation.

Here are some insights on logging the Fire Heart Wood, Junior Brother can take a look."

With these words, she took out a sheet of paper.

Gu An took the two items and performed a respectful bow: "Thank you, Leader He."

Watching Gu An leave, Leader He looked at the pastry box, feeling quite emotional: "Worthy of the Master of the First Institute, it’s said the Six Courtyards wield great power, not only holding other Sect captives’ lives but also overseeing numerous resources.

This is indeed true."

Gu An, having left, exhaled deeply.

This time provided him several months’ worth of earnings.

Twelve days, plus other woods, at least should allow trying to break through above Returning to Void.

Thus, in December for any situation, he should be able to manage somewhat.

It’s just unknown what kind of person stands behind Senior Sister Tang Lan.

If he hadn’t hidden his cultivation and could use the trees here to improve beyond Returning to Void, it would truly be helpless.

Strength indeed is most important.

As for in the Divine Monarch Hall, Gu An thought not much further.

Because this strength surely holds little significance in the Divine Monarch Hall.

Before the forest, Gu An collected an axe.

Soon, he found the Fire Heart Tree.

The branches appear no different from ordinary trees.

Yet in its trunk, there is a flame burning, the firelight faintly visible through the bark.

Gu An reached out and touched it, realizing the flame only had a kind of warmth.

According to Leader He’s insights, mere warmth indicated the age was not that old.

Side effects were minimal.

Gu An decided to try using this tree, also it’s good for acclimation.

Of course, if the side effects were too severe, he would abandon it.

After all, excessive side effects would be intolerable for the body.

It could easily backfire.

Adjusting his breath, Gu An gently wielded the axe.

Ordinary logging sound.

The axe directly sank in a bit, then a wisp of fire penetrated through the axe and into the body.

Gu An had already prepared to resist, yet when the fire entered his body, Gu An felt the Sun and Moon Heart Furnace begin to operate, followed by the flame being absorbed by the heart furnace, directly burning within the furnace.

All at once, the body became much warmer.

Not only that, the heart furnace began to nourish the body.

As if cultivating the Sun and Moon Heart Furnace. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

This surprised Gu An.

Could the Heart Fire Tree actually promote the cultivation of Sun and Moon Heart Furnace?

Isn’t this saying, he could not only gain a Warm Current but advance the Sun and Moon Heart Furnace?

It seems this tree, indeed must be right.

For safety’s sake, Gu An is still experimenting.

Partway through, a Warm Current began to appear.

Skill increase by one.

Skill increase by one.

After half a day, gained two Skill points.

In a full day, should have around seven points.

But this is from the low yearly fee book, if slightly higher, nine points wouldn’t be impossible.

Meaning, in this place, he can at least get two Skill enhancements.

Hard Cultivation a bit less, might be around seven points too.

Just maintaining seven points a day.

Twelve days equals eighty-four points.

Adding the existing sixteen points precisely suffices, yet Skill enhancement twice, will occupy most of the day.
