After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 144: What Kind of Quirks Does Noodles Have, Always Bringing Back These Things
Chapter 144: Chapter 144: What Kind of Quirks Does Noodles Have, Always Bringing Back These Things
Gu An returned to find Chu Meng there, along with some noodles.
Sipping tea, Chu Meng pulled out a piece of clothing.
It appeared to be a blue and white immortal dress, and the quality wasn’t bad.
This left Gu An puzzled, why would she take out an immortal dress for no reason?
Unfortunately, she never mentioned it, only asking, "So, did you get rich?"
Gu An shook his head: "No."
"How could you afford this tea if you didn’t?" Chu Meng was somewhat incredulous: "Aren’t you usually very stingy?"
Gu An: "...."
Your words do hurt.
"It’s a tribute to my senior," Gu An casually replied.
"Are you sure you don’t need something from me?" Chu Meng looked suspicious.
Gu An thought it might be better not to bring tea anymore, just stick to water.
He shook his head, no longer speaking.
She was dramatic and had dirty thoughts; he feared she would overthink.
But after hesitating, he felt he should interrupt her and asked:
"What about this immortal dress?"
"It was brought back by Noodles when it went out," Chu Meng spoke with unexpected candor: "Your spirit pet is not simple, it has a universe inside its belly and can hold items. I pried open its mouth earlier to check; the space inside isn’t small."
Gu An: "..."
Why would you pry open its mouth?
Gu An had never thought of such a thing.
Even out of curiosity, he never felt the need to pry open Noodles’ mouth to check.
And it’s only the size of a palm, how wide does one need to pry the mouth to see inside?
For a moment, Gu An fell silent.
"This is a magic robe, quite valuable, and it also has the previous owner’s mark on it; they will come looking for it before long," Chu Meng added.
Hearing this, Gu An was startled.
Noodles had brought back these mysterious items.
Out of helplessness, he could only pour tea for Chu Meng, inviting her to drink.
"Are you trying to give this to me?" Chu Meng saw through it at a glance.
"Only senior can help me," Gu An spoke truthfully.
He realized that he really couldn’t provoke the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Did the Law Enforcement Hall look for you?" Chu Meng asked curiously.
Gu An was somewhat surprised.
"Looks like they did, was it because of that killing? At first, I thought it was you who did the killing, but later it turned out clear.
It seems now you cannot escape connection to it," Chu Meng shook her head and sighed: "At your age, you should focus more on your Daoist couple, so you won’t end up lonely.
I am a genius, though younger and less experienced in cultivation than you, I have more insights and a higher cultivation, so listening to me will definitely not be wrong."
Gu An did not speak.
Later, he asked about her purpose.
"Of course, it’s to foster our relationship; the more we interact, the more firmly you will stand by my side.
We are the only allies under that scoundrel’s name; our relationship fades with less frequent visits," Chu Meng answered sincerely.
While talking, she put down her teacup and started eating peanuts.
After a long chat about nothing, she left with the immortal dress.
Thus, Gu An looked for Noodles, finding it hiding under the pond, unwilling to come out.
He wasn’t sure if it knew it had done something wrong or what.
The days thereafter were very peaceful.
The night logging yard returned to normal.
By the end of October, the hard cultivation was complete.
Gu An sighed in relief.
He was finally about to complete the last Innate Strength.
This time it was at the position of the heart.
During the night.
He began his hard cultivation.
In his dream, it took him ten years to condense the innate energy.
Days passed, and the progress of converting innate energy into Innate Strength wasn’t fast.
Five years, no progress.
Finally, after ten years, there was some progress.
Thirty years later, the energy strength flickered in and out.
Fifty years, Innate Strength successfully manifested.
At this moment, Qi-Blood surged into the heart.
Thump!
Thump!!
The sound of powerful beating pulsed through the body.
At this moment, all the Qi-Blood in the body was supplying the heart.
Every inch of skin was being strengthened.
Not only that, it felt like one punch could shatter a mountain.
Of course, that was just an illusion.
A small hill might be worth a try.
When Gu An opened his eyes, he could clearly feel the strength in his body, a sensation vastly surpassing Perfect Foundation Establishment.
But it was only enough to challenge a Golden Core.
From this, it was clear that the strength of a Golden Core was far beyond his current capabilities.
Feeling the strength in his body, Gu An felt he might even try to end the corruption.
"I’ve become complacent, achieving such strength in a short time makes it difficult to stabilize my mind."
"Even feels like challenging a Golden Core."
Gu An took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Then he began to silently recite the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, feeling the need to elevate it once more.
However, the technique had to be used on Qi Sea Sky Gang, no time to enhance Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
That would have to wait until after reaching the Golden Core.
And to achieve Golden Core, he needed to visit the Book Collection Pavilion.
While he was contemplating, suddenly the Ring of Destiny stirred.
[Last night, Immortal Xu looked at today’s guest list, checked the new faces incidentally, and you were among them. Knowing you are from the Spiritual Treasure Vault, she laughed and, originally her companion suggested treating you kindly, but Immortal Xu said it was not needed.
She explained that your position was given away by someone else and isn’t a good position for there is no strong backing behind it.
She also said you must have earned quite some Spirit Stones at this position, and next time there’s a chance she should squeeze you more, best to get into a conflict with you, pretend to be injured and get some compensation.
She mentioned you indeed have a long-term source of Spirit Stones, which makes you more worthwhile than others.
However, she also said to watch your expression closely, if it reached your bottom line to immediately back off, letting you lose your rationality isn’t worth it.
Just cool down and continue next time.]
Gu An: "...."
Unknowingly, he had also become a fat sheep.
However, the other party knowing this indicated a certain probability that they were related to Ren Yinghua.
Seeing all this, Gu An wanted to confront them on his own.
After all, he had just enhanced his strength and wanted to test it.
But he quickly gave up.
Because his mentality was unstable, a bit inflated, and prone to impulsiveness, it was better to stay calm for a while.
Strength increased too rapidly, blinded by his own speed of improvement, making it hard to accurately gauge the strength of enemies.
Afterward, Gu An stopped pondering and continued to wait for the work that came with daylight.
Early November.
It was time to distribute rewards again, Gu An noticed his Spirit Stones had surpassed the five hundred mark.
This position indeed was lucrative.
However, the pace of enhancing the techniques value was slow, only thirty-six points in a month.
It would take nearly half a month more.
Mid-November.
Gu An’s value of techniques was full.
After a long accumulation, he entered the sixth layer of Qi Sea Sky Gang, energy from the Water Gang Qi increased.
Consequently, the power to mobilize the Gang Qi had greatly improved.
He could now overwhelmingly suppress Perfect Foundation Establishment.
The next night.
Gu An continued logging at the Thunder Wood forest.
Today, Yang Qi came over and mentioned that an Outer Disciple of Qi Refining Eighth Layer had arrived at the forest.
"Outer Disciple?" Gu An was somewhat surprised.
"Normal Outer Disciples of Qianchen Peak wouldn’t come here, but this time it was an Outer Disciple who entered through the Outer Sect.
His talent is not bad, reaching the Qi Refining Eighth layer at a young age, one senior brother took a liking to his potential and directly sent him to the outskirts of Qianchen Peak.
But who knew, upon his arrival he found connections to come logging." Yang Qi shook his head and sighed, "Don’t know what’s wrong with him, doesn’t he know that logging Thunder Wood is harmful to the body?
What’s his name again?
Yu Tu, he seems rather simple and honest."
