After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 151: Seniors Should Practice Moderation

Gu An listened to Chu Meng and fell silent.

Earn merit.

Then arrange for some people to balance the accounts.

*It really did seem like a good plan.*

"Someone like me couldn’t possibly do that, right?" Gu An asked.

"Of course not, there are bound to be other pawns, you can’t do it alone," Chu Meng said as she munched on peanuts,

"This time things got out of hand, and they’re going to catch quite a few people, but it’ll all be your Qianchen Peak’s doing.

The Law Enforcement Hall wouldn’t get involved.

Unless your Qianchen Peak people requested the Law Enforcement Hall’s intervention."

"How big would the impact have to be for Law Enforcement Hall people to get involved?" Gu An asked.

"You’d better not let Law Enforcement Hall people get involved, or no one will be able to protect you, even if Law Enforcement Hall doesn’t do anything to you in the end, Qianchen Peak won’t keep you around," Chu Meng said seriously, "If this brings in people from Law Enforcement Hall, that’s like going against the whole Qianchen Peak.

It could even get the Peak Master and others in trouble.

At that point, even I can’t get you out."

Gu An nodded, he hadn’t been that reckless.

*With his level of cultivation, he really couldn’t afford to offend people who were too strong.*

*In the end, it all came down to being too weak.*

*Otherwise, why would things have come to this?*

"You’re running out of time, have you thought of a plan?" Chu Meng asked.

Gu An shook his head, "I still need to observe for a while."

"You can try muddying the waters, go report a few places—resources aren’t just elixir pills and spirit stones, there’s also spiritual medicine, and the lecture plaza.

That place is where disciples go to ask questions, it was supposed to be free, but now they have to hand over spirit stones.

Originally, even if you didn’t give a spirit stone, they’d at least answer a few questions halfheartedly.

But now, they don’t even bother halfheartedly answering.

They just directly kick you out.

If you don’t leave, the people maintaining order would seriously injure you."

Gu An made a mental note of that place.

*He couldn’t help but wonder, would the big anti-corruption sweep hit this place, too?*

"Probably not, they really don’t consider that place as being connected to resources," Chu Meng said as she chewed something.

Gu An nodded.

He decided to pick the right timing to head over there.

But only after he advanced a bit more.

"And don’t forget the canteen task," Chu Meng said seriously,

"If you do it well, it’ll make me look good.

I won’t make trouble for you then."

Gu An, "...."

*So you’re making trouble for me now?*

"If you screw up again, get ready to eat pig slop next time," Chu Meng said, picking up her plate,

"I’m out of here, you’d better nurse your health these days, I don’t want you dropping dead when you hook up with some girl.

Let me say this now, if you collapse on someone else’s belly, I’m not handling your corpse.

That’s just humiliating.

When you’re old, you should know your limits.

You think you’re some twenty-year-old kid?"

The more she talked, the more Chu Meng shook her head.

Gu An, "...."

*Could you wish something good for me for once?*

*But I really couldn’t take care of myself right now.*

*A few more days of Hundred Organs Wood.*

*Then I’d have to go to Blood God Wood.*

*Still had to get drained, but Blood God Wood was better—at least, it didn’t impact my strength as much.*

Chu Meng turned back at the door and said, "Just go do it, as long as you don’t die, I guarantee you’ll survive."

With that, she left on her sword.

Gu An, "...."

*If I don’t die, do I really need you to guarantee that I’ll live?*

Not thinking about it too much, Gu An thought about what he needed to do next.

*He wondered if he could finish the task in the next couple days.*

*He was only a bit away from maxing out hard cultivation.*

*And for magic, he was just one run away.*

*It was now early February—he had about a month. As long as Hundred Organs Wood paid off, he could complete the final breakthrough around March.*

*Qi Sea Sky Gang Second Volume would reach Great Success.*

*And as for hard cultivation...*

*It would definitely fill up in seven days.*

*If he used it, then there would only be a bit over half a month of time left.*

*Not enough to fill it up again.*

*But March was already late to strike back—if he waited another half month, that big anti-corruption move might fall first.*

*So...*

*He wouldn’t use hard cultivation this time.*

*He’d wait until Qi Sea Sky Gang reached Great Success, then break through to Golden Core.*

*He just hoped the mission was the one Hua Jiyang had mentioned.*

As soon as Chu Meng left, Gu An tossed some food to Noodles and headed for Hundred Organs Forest again.

He started logging.

This time, he would do the task first, then log.

*The pain in his body was hard to bear, but luckily, the numbers weren’t bad.*

*Unfortunately, even after dawn he didn’t see his token light up.*

Day seven.

Gu An kept logging.

This time he didn’t care about the task, just logged as fast as possible—if he didn’t finish, he’d really have wasted seven days.

Luckily, just after midnight, the token lit up.

Gu An finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The task was done.

He could hand it in during the day.

As he left, Gu An told them he wasn’t coming after today.

Chen Yue nodded,

"You’re really not in the shape to come anymore."

After taking the spirit stones, Gu An strode out.

Sitting in the Spiritual Treasure Vault today, when a few people came by, there was no more respect in their eyes.

But they still handed over spirit stones.

*Seemed like they didn’t dare tear things open.*

Gu An didn’t care either way.

*It was normal for them to look at him like this, after all, he’d collected quite a few spirit stones these past few months.*

*Once things here wrapped up...*

Gu An headed for the Book Collection Pavilion, but he barely made it out before he ran into Immortal Xu.

The senior sister who sold tea.

Her cultivation was at late-stage Foundation Establishment.

"Junior Brother Gu," Immortal Xu greeted him warmly.

"Senior Sister," Gu An saluted.

"We just got a batch of fresh tea, Junior Brother, you want to come check it out?" Immortal Xu asked with a smile.

Gu An gave a slight shake of his head, "Not right now."

"Well, just remember to come by anytime. The tea here really is top-notch—I’ll brew it personally for you," Immortal Xu said, still smiling.

She winked her left eye as she spoke.

Gu An checked his status.

Mental techniques showed up.

*So that’s what she’s after, lure me to the tea room and trick me out of my spirit stones.*

*She probably knew he wouldn’t live much longer, so if she didn’t cash out his spirit stones now, it’d be a loss.*

*Thirty or forty spirit stones a month...*

*After half a year, that’s hundreds of spirit stones—no wonder she was interested.*

Gu An didn’t have time for her right now, he had to go turn in the task.

As Gu An left, Immortal Xu sneered, "So drained already, no wonder my Charming Technique doesn’t work well. But that’s fine. He can’t escape anyway.

He’s dead soon, what’s wrong with leaving his spirit stones with me?"

She still had time, so she wasn’t in a rush.

Of course, if he kept bringing in spirit stones later on, that would be even better.

"Who would complain about too many spirit stones?"

Plus, her tea room wasn’t breaking any rules, so she wasn’t worried about the anti-corruption crackdown this time.

Gu An arrived at the Book Collection Pavilion and, sure enough, still saw the two old men playing chess.

He waited a bit.

He saw the old man from before once again.

"You haven’t been around these last few days—what happened?" the old man asked, looking at Gu An with curiosity. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Gu An quickly replied, "Reporting, Senior Brother, I was off completing a task."

"No need to be so formal with reporting," the old man shook his head, "So, you’ve finished the task now?"

"I didn’t let you down," Gu An nodded solemnly, "It’s done."

He took out the token and handed it over, "How do I get my reward?"

When he saw the glowing badge, the old man was a bit surprised, "You completed this at early-stage Foundation Establishment? You didn’t just use spirit stones to get someone else to do it for you, did you?"

Gu An froze for a moment.

*For a second, he was speechless.*

*Thinking about it, that really was possible.*

*Wasn’t the night logging yard set up for people who needed that?*
