#208 - Find a good husband
This tree isn't particularly thick; felling it shouldn't take too long.
It's just that I don't know what kind of reaction there will be.
It doesn't look simple.
Especially since its aura can affect a large area of trees.
One tree is stronger than a thousand trees.
Felling it will definitely bring many warm currents.
Taking a deep breath, Gu An summoned the axe into his hand.
Sensing the surrounding situation and confirming there were no problems, he gently swung the axe.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out, followed by a warm current, but the axe seemed to bear a great impact.
He himself was fine.
[Art: 2 / 50]
But the value did indeed appear.
This tree...
Is extraordinary.
After that, Gu An continued to chop wood.
Bang!
Bang!!
The axe swung, repeatedly striking the scarlet tree trunk.
After two strikes, the value appeared again.
But very quickly.
A booming sound came.
Gu An was quite surprised.
Carefully sensing it, he discovered that when this tree was felled, even the outer Adamantine Wood would make a booming sound.
The commotion was a bit loud.
Gu An carefully looked at this scarlet tree, feeling that it was too close to the Adamantine Wood.
Moreover, the connection was still there.
So it would cause a commotion.
"Looks like I have to take it away."
No longer thinking too much, the Twelve Stars of Sui Chen appeared.
He sealed this tree together with the mask to prevent it from being noticed, but he didn't know if the mask and the tree would react.
He could only do this for now.
The second star of Sui Chen could not be cultivated for the time being.
He had to wait until he improved his cultivation.
But this sealing technique is really useful.
If he learned all of it, he didn't know what would happen.
The twelve stars surrounded his body, and he always felt that more changes would occur.
After the sealing ended, Gu An felt that his seal could only last for two days at most.
This tree was also not easy to seal, so he had to go back as soon as possible and release the tree.
Then, use the courtyard's seal to isolate and extend it, so he could fell trees with peace of mind.
After wandering around the cave, confirming that there was nothing else, Gu An quickly left.
At the same time.
Zhao Hua and the others were still waiting outside the Spirit Wood Garden.
The loud booming sound that had just come from inside made them a little worried.
They didn't know what exactly happened inside.
But they didn't dare to go in, so they could only wait patiently.
"Manager Zhao, will there be any problems inside?" Qiu Hua asked.
Zhao Hua shook his head.
How would he know?
Gu An was a Golden Core cultivator.
What kind of powerhouse was a Golden Core cultivator?
He couldn't even dream of knowing what kind of methods the other party had.
How could he know what major event had happened inside?
And the others had even more limited knowledge.
Foundation Establishment was the strongest cultivator they could imagine.
Everyone was silent, but they didn't dare to leave.
They could only wait quietly.
Not long after, Gu An walked out from inside.
Seeing this, everyone perked up.
"Senior Brother Gu." Zhao Hua greeted him and said, "Was everything smooth?"
Gu An looked at the other party and nodded:
"The problem has been resolved. Don't fell the trees in that area after this. Leave it for three years, and fell the trees after three years.
I will have the people from Peak Beyond Peak observe it closely after three years, and they will notify you if there are any problems."
As he spoke, Gu An looked at Qiu Hua:
"Keep an eye on the people, don't enter that area to fell trees. The problem this time shouldn't be blamed here.
But if there is another problem next time, the people of Spirit Wood Garden won't be able to escape."
Qiu Hua nodded, guaranteeing that there would be no problems.
Gu An had specifically looked at it, and there were indeed no problems in other areas.
In addition, these auras would naturally dissipate without a source.
Three years should be enough.
Those trees should be able to return to normal after being left for a few years.
However, living trees and wood are somewhat different.
Gu An was also not sure whether the trees that had already been felled could recover.
After that, he looked at the people around him and noticed two strangers.
Seeing this, Zhao Hua respectfully said, "They are from the Chen family."
Chen Jin wanted to speak, but Gu An interrupted him: "Go back."
Chen Jin and Miss Chen didn't dare to hesitate.
But they were both overjoyed in their hearts.
Such a person did not make things difficult for them on the spot, which meant that the other party did not care much.
It could be considered an escape from a disaster.
Gu An knew a little about the Chen family. They were high and mighty back then, how could he have been able to reach them?
Now, he had become someone they could not reach.
It really was thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.
He had to be more polite to people in the future, in case he encountered a genius.
It would only add to the trouble.
"Junior Brother Zhao, go back and write a report too," Gu An said.
Zhao Hua didn't dare to hesitate.
In this way, only Qiu Hua was left.
Gu An looked at her and said:
"They seem to be very polite to you."
"It's because of Senior Brother," Qiu Hua immediately said.
"Bearing such benefits, you sometimes have to bear corresponding dangers," Gu An said, looking at the other party. Qiu Hua nodded heavily: "I understand."
"It's good that you understand," Gu An nodded.
After that, he left behind the body refining technique and some pills.
Then he stepped away.
He didn't do too much.
But Qiu Hua was promoted by him, and everyone knew it.
Now Qiu Hua will get benefits because of him, but one day his enemies will come.
Qiu Hua will bear the brunt.
It's difficult for her to survive.
There is indeed not much relationship between them, but who believes it, who cares?
Gu An left on his sword.
Many people saw it.
Many people had made a decision.
But these had nothing to do with Gu An.
As far as he was concerned, he would basically not come back after he left.
How they developed was their own choice.
Azure Wood Sect.
The highest peak.
In the main hall of the main peak.
Streams of light fell, gathering in the hall.
A total of four people appeared.
Two men and two women.
The leading man was middle-aged, with an imposing presence.
A dark blue Taoist robe set off his slightly deep demeanor.
Another man was in his early twenties, with an ancient long sword floating beside him.
The women were all young and beautiful.
However, one had a smile on her face, with a teasing gaze.
The other lowered her eyebrows, with a compassionate look.
The four people took their seats, and the middle-aged man in the lead looked around and said, "It seems that it's just the four of us, so you didn't receive the letter?"
"I received it." The youthful woman curiously said, "So you all agreed?"
"The benefits given by the royal family are not bad, and their strength is also strong, so we still have to give them a little face." The young man curiously said, "I'm just curious, what are you planning to do?"
"The royal princess is getting married to the Dao Sect, and they don't want any accidents to happen. Now, a certain royal princess's talent is showing, and once the news is exposed, then the marriage may have an accident." The middle-aged man looked at everyone and continued to smile:
"They hope to find her a suitable husband as soon as possible, hoping that the other party has some fame, ambition,
Some status, just not mentioning any talent, not mentioning any cultivation.
The meaning behind it is self-evident, everyone understands, right?
This object needs to be carefully selected."
"The royal family is really excessive." The compassionate woman sighed, "She is still so young, aren't they afraid that her future rise will lead to resentment?"
"She has no choice now, and there is another big problem that we have to deal with." The young man looked at everyone and said, "We have to understand one thing, we didn't need to care too much about her before, but now she is that person's person, if she doesn't agree, we really may not have a way."
"That crazy woman, ever since she became a True Disciple, has been impossible to see through." The middle-aged man also had a headache, but still said calmly, "Don't worry, we'll have an answer soon."
Sure enough, the moment he finished speaking, a flying sword letter entered the main hall.
The young man casually took it and read the contents.
Then he smiled and said, "She nodded, it seems there are quite a few benefits."
Saying that, he showed the contents to the others.
With that, everyone stopped worrying about other things.
"Then what kind of person are we looking for? Besides, the Imperial Family isn't a good place, are you willing to send your own disciples there?" the youthful woman asked.
"Let's find six from the inner sect," the middle-aged man said after a moment of thought.
"Let each Peak Lord go and find some who are famous and look good.
Then choose one from the six.
The Peak Lord's disciples can be considered to have some fame and status.
Whichever peak they come from, that peak will get an extra benefit."
Everyone thought for a moment and had no objections.
The young man suddenly asked, "Do we need to let that woman choose one?"
"No, she won't care about this kind of thing," the middle-aged man said.
"Let's finalize some details, and select the candidates in the next few years.
We'll talk about it later."
"Don't you consider her own value?" the youthful woman asked.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "We won't force her, and we can't force her.
Her pressure isn't on our side.
When the time comes, we'll give her a choice.
Whether she agrees or refuses.
We've done what we should do.
The rest is the Imperial Family's business.
We'll take the benefits with peace of mind.
We've respected the person involved, and we've done the job.
Who can say we're wrong?"
"Shameless," the youthful woman said with a smile.
Gu An controlled his sword and quickly returned to Outer Peak.
Every time he went out, he felt unsafe.
It's safer to hide within the sect.
But it's only safe for the next few years.
After that knife disappeared, his troubles increased.
However, with that tree on him, reaching the ninth level of Qi Sea Heavenly罡is unlikely, but the possibility of reaching the sixth or seventh level is still quite high.
Just as he was about to reach the sect, someone suddenly flew towards him on a sword.
The moment Gu An saw them, he felt that these two people were coming for him.
He immediately entered a defensive state.
But he wasn't too nervous.
If they were here to kill him, the best thing to do would be to set up an ambush.
Gu An stopped controlling his sword, stood on the spot, and looked at the people coming.
One was a middle-aged man, and the other was a young boy.
The boy was only at the Perfected Foundation Establishment stage, and the middle-aged man...
He couldn't see through him.
He couldn't determine his cultivation level.
But he was definitely someone he couldn't afford to offend.
He felt that his power was quite terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, the two had arrived in front of Gu An: "Are you Gu An, the leader of the Second Squad of the Outer Peak Rear Courtyard?"
Gu An shook his head: "Senior, you've mistaken me for someone else."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said,
"I am Hong Wang'an from the Azure City Sect, and this beside me is my disciple, Zheng Yundong."
"Greetings, Leader Gu," Zheng Yundong respectfully saluted.
Gu An looked at the two and remained silent.
People from the Azure City Sect.
For the two people who were killed?
He wasn't sure.
But the other party took the initiative to speak:
"I received news that two disciples from our sect who came to negotiate,
died at the hands of Leader Gu."
Hearing this, Gu An sighed in his heart, but his expression didn't change at all, he just shook his head: "Senior, don't listen to rumors."
"But the news came from Outer Peak," Hong Wang'an continued.
"This junior's reputation in the sect has always been bad, I can't compare to other senior brothers and sisters," Gu An said with lowered eyebrows.
He didn't detect any killing intent, so he wasn't in a hurry to escape.
The more he escaped, the more likely problems would arise.
Of course, Instant Golden Light was already prepared, and he could try to escape at any time.
But the advantage was very weak.
She Ti Ge might be able to stop them for a moment or two, but in short, he had to be prepared.
"It seems that Elder Huang deliberately misled us," Hong Wang'an looked at Gu An and said.
"I hope fellow Daoist won't blame us."
Gu An was shocked in his heart.
They believed him just like that?
It seemed that they weren't here to interrogate him.
"Indeed, our Second Squad didn't do well enough," Gu An said politely, "That's why senior misunderstood."
"I've never met Leader Gu, I only misunderstood after hearing rumors.
If there are any problems with the subsequent transactions, I hope I can ask Leader Gu for advice," Hong Wang'an said seriously.
Gu An understood something, but not very clearly.
He only knew that the other party wanted something.
Although he didn't want to get involved, it wasn't impossible for them to change their minds and avenge their sect disciples if he didn't cooperate.
With that, Gu An bowed and said seriously: "Senior, you're too kind, it's all for the smooth cooperation between both parties."
Hong Wang'an said a few more polite words.
Finally, they left.
Gu An watched them disappear into the horizon, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, he controlled his sword and went back.
On the way, he suddenly understood something, the other party specifically mentioned Elder Huang.
That is to say, Elder Huang wanted to use a knife to kill someone.
He was selling information to himself.
So, what they might want next time might also be information.
After understanding this, Gu An didn't care.
After all, he didn't know when he would meet them again in the future.
Back at Outer Peak, Gu An handed the written report to the task senior brother.
He had now recovered.
So, he took over the task very quickly.
"Leader Gu, let me tell you something," the task senior brother said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Gu An was a little curious: "What's the matter?"
"I heard that the Peak Lords will be inspecting the sect recently, you have to perform well, if you are valued, you may be directly accepted as a disciple," the task senior brother said.
Hearing this, Gu An was a little surprised.
Is it useful to rely on hard work for this kind of thing?
If the talent is not enough, everything else is out of the question, right?
"Sometimes, it's just about having an eye for you, this kind of thing has happened before," the task senior brother said.
Gu An nodded.
He felt strange in his heart.
These strong people are really incomprehensible.
But he didn't have too many thoughts.
He felt that things were pretty good as they were now.
Although it was easy to be targeted, he could still become stronger and have enough trees to chop.
Once he became a disciple of a certain Peak Lord, the opportunity to chop wood would be less.
After handing over the axe and the Vajra wood, Gu An left.
This time, Gu An only said that there was a strange miasma covering the area, which had now been dispersed,
and that they could observe it once every few months, and if everything went well, they could check it in three years and there would be no problems.
After that, Gu An quickly returned to Thousand Dust Peak.
As soon as he came back, Gu An saw the little girl from before, she was sitting in front of the yard, motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.
Gu An went over and gently called out: "Senior Sister?"
Hearing this, the little girl was startled.
Then she looked at Gu An dissatisfied: "Do you know? Children need to cultivate their concentration the most, you can't disturb me when I'm concentrating on spacing out."
Gu An: "...
Cultivating concentration by spacing out?
