After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In

Chapter 72 - 72 72 Inner Sect Recruitment of Disciples

?72: Chapter 72: Inner Sect Recruitment of Disciples 72: Chapter 72: Inner Sect Recruitment of Disciples “It is indeed the luck bestowed upon me by my senior brothers and sisters,” Gu An said, picking up his cup of wine and showing his gratitude towards Liang Chen, “But I also have to thank Senior Brother for giving me this opportunity.”

Hearing this, Liang Chen laughed:

“So does that mean Junior Brother has accepted?”

“Of course.” Saying this, Gu An also discreetly handed over a Spirit Stone to the other party, adding:

“When Junior Brother has earned more Spirit Stones, I will definitely offer more to Senior Brother.”

“That’s not appropriate,” Liang Chen raised his hand and pushed aside his sleeve, saying:

“The Spirit Stones that Junior Brother has gotten haven’t come easily.

This also counts as Junior Brother’s own luck, why thank me for it?

We are all brothers within the same sect.

There’s no need for such formalities.”

Gu An placed the Spirit Stone into the other’s sleeve, smilingly insisting:

“It’s only right; Senior Brother, please don’t refuse.

However, Junior Brother has an audacious request.”

“Oh?” Liang Chen was somewhat surprised.

“What is it?”

“Junior Brother believes that since there are senior brothers and sisters granting luck, there should be a difference in the size of the luck granted.” Gu An looked at him earnestly and said, “Junior Brother wants the biggest share of luck.”

Since he’s helping with logging, naturally, he should choose the best timber.

As for the capacity to bear the physical strain,

If the other party dared to ask, it indicated that he can probably bear it.

Now that I’m at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining and possess Qi Sea Sky Gang, able to control Qi, and make better use of Spiritual Energy,

I should be able to barely withstand it.

Even if not, I still have quite a few Spirit Stones to buy Healing Talismans.

As long as the best trees can be logged, it’s worth it.

Hearing this, Liang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and then patted his chest: “Leave it to me, I’ll make sure everything’s properly settled for Junior Brother.

Come, let’s drink.”

Gu An smiled and took a sip from his cup with the other.

Of course, the food must be eaten as well.

It’s rare to have an improved meal, and naturally, he should enjoy a good feast.

This kind of senior brother, who introduced the job and sent him to log in the Inner Sect, naturally had a lot of benefits.

Free food should not be missed.

However, after three rounds of drinks, Gu An posed another question: “If Junior Brother completes the Outer Sect tasks in the morning, can I go to the Inner Sect and help the senior brothers and sisters in the afternoon?”

“That’s possible, but it’s not very secure.

It’s easy to be discovered by others in the Inner Sect.

Then accidents can easily occur.

So going at night is best.

No one will be there then.”

Hearing this, Gu An nodded.

So it seems he could only wait until the evening.

“When can I go?” asked Gu An.

“Next month.

It’s all arranged month by month,” said Liang Chen.

Gu An nodded.

It seems that this logging order is not so chaotic as it appears.

But when going there, I still need to be cautious.

It would not be acceptable if there needs to be control involved.

It’s just uncertain who will take me to log at that time.

When asked, the other party said I would find out when the time comes.

Afterwards, Gu An took his leave.

A long while after Gu An had gone, a middle-aged man walked in.

“Senior Brother,” Liang Chen stood up and greeted respectfully.

“How did it go?” the middle-aged man asked.

Liang Chen replied with a smile:

“He agreed to go and was very happy.”

“Well done,” the middle-aged man said, giving ten Spirit Stones: “As long as he can last three months, you’ll get another five.

Plus, if he backs out, he still needs to learn his lesson.”

“I understand all of this,” Liang Chen said with a smile as he put away the Spirit Stones.

“But this Junior Brother is ambitious; he wants to try something more challenging.”

“That age, he wants something more difficult?” The middle-aged man sneered:

“He might not last even a month.”

Then the middle-aged man shook his head: “Forget it, I thought of being kinder and letting him cut timber for a few more months.

But since he wants to ruin himself sooner, let it be soon.

Someone has to do the work, after all.”

“But be cautious.

The Spirit Stones must be given,” the middle-aged man added with a smile:

“If it gets to the Law Enforcement Hall, it wouldn’t be good for anyone.”

“Understood,” Liang Chen nodded.

Gu An returned to his place and saw the Big Eye Fish hopping over the threshold.

Hopping and skipping about, quite comical.

He wondered what was on its mind.

After tossing two peanuts to Big Eye Fish, Gu An entered his room.

He began to contemplate the day’s events.

Outer Sect helps the Inner Sect with logging.

One, it absolutely damages the body.

Two, the Sect would likely not agree.

Three, easy to join, but hard to leave.

Thus, one must think it through.

Gu An is not one who likes to take risks.

However, being able to chop better trees is a significant opportunity for him.

Especially since it’s all within the Sect.

There are certain risks, but it’s still manageable.

These people are not good, but since I never thought about escaping, it should be temporarily safe.

As long as I can obtain the Cultivation Technique I desire.

Actually, this can be considered a good thing.

After all, good wood can shorten the time needed to improve my Magic.

“I should find a Cultivation Technique as soon as possible.”

Gu An thought to himself.

He could ask Hua Jiyang about this, but unfortunately, since their last meeting, the other party had never shown up again.

Afterwards, Gu An continued to lead a normal life.

He logged peacefully.

Jinxi still followed him, often showing goodwill.

But Gu An paid him no attention.

Sometimes he wondered if the other party had no ulterior motives and was merely seeking friendship.

But, such people hardly seem like the type to not be entangled with.

However, during this time, he found nothing relevant to that effect.

Definitely not normal.

Luckily, the other party had not made things difficult for him.

Early June.

The day to collect resources.

Gu An began to wander around in various places.

Deliberately attracting those who “borrow” Spirit Stones.

As expected.

Two men and two women came over.

All were at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

“Junior Brother…”

A moment later.

The four of them were lying on the ground.

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother…

it’s a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding.”

“Right, right, we heard Senior Brother was short of Spirit Stones, so…”

After collecting twenty Spirit Stones, Gu An thanked them.

There was still a feeling of brotherhood among Sect members.

Unfortunately, throughout the day, he only encountered one group of people.

Nowadays, many people no longer call him Junior Brother, but Senior Brother instead.

In half a year’s time, he had barely established a foothold.

Of course, that was just messing around with these little guys.

Stronger ones, he could not afford to provoke.

Luckily, those stronger ones wouldn’t rashly come out to “borrow” Spirit Stones.

Afterward, Gu An headed towards the northern plaza.

Today is the day for recruiting Inner Sect Disciples.

He should be able to see it there.

By the time he arrived, the place had already gathered quite a crowd.

It was a stage for competition.

Gu An was quite surprised.

“Recruiting for the Inner Sect by combat on the stage?”

He was puzzled.

It was a shame he didn’t know who to ask.

“First time seeing the Inner Sect recruitment?” Suddenly, someone beside him nudged him.

Gu An turned his head, only to see someone wearing a hat right beside him, making it difficult to see their face.

But he immediately knew it was Hua Jiyang.

“Senior Brother, long time no see,” Gu An spoke softly.

“I’m about to leave the Outer Sect soon, and you might not see me for a long time,” Hua Jiyang paused and then said,

“By the way, what do you want at the moment?

I’ll see if I can help.”

Upon hearing this, Gu An pondered for a moment and then said,

“Do you have a Cultivation Technique for Foundation Establishment?”

“Yes.” Saying this, Hua Jiyang handed over a book.

Gu An looked at it, the Nourishing Life Technique.
