#148 - To become a golden elixir
Ren Yinghua's ring of fate was simple.
After a long time of corruption, problems will always arise with the accounts, and it's impossible to keep problems unresolved indefinitely.
Waiting for superiors to investigate proactively could easily lead to utter destruction.
It's better to incite the superiors to wield the knife proactively.
Let some people take the fall, and then settle the accounts from previous years.
Moreover, some positions have offended many people, and some explanation should be given to fellow disciples.
By then, the vast majority of them will be safe and sound.
Once the storm passes, they can simply recover.
Nothing will be lost.
And these emotions need to be ignited, so the planning must begin in March.
Let the people of Thousand Dust Peak discuss corruption, harbor resentment towards certain positions, or even explode with resentment.
That's when the problems will surface.
Once the superiors' knife comes down, the resentment in those people's hearts will be vented.
Especially when they see those who were cursed and scolded fall one by one, they will naturally feel relieved.
Don't think that the downfall of people in ordinary positions won't affect them; you need to know that those who are oppressively demanding are often these ordinary people.
Then, send out some people in more important positions.
That should basically be enough to get through it.
But twists and turns are necessary.
Gu An calculated the days.
If calculated based on June, he would still have six and a half months.
But if calculated based on March, he would only have three and a half months.
The Qi Sea Heavenly罡 only has six layers currently.
The seventh layer will still take one and a half months.
The eighth and ninth layers will take at least six months, or even nine months.
There's simply not enough time.
In addition, he still needs to obtain the Golden Core cultivation method.
"It seems I need to find another place for logging."
The sect has no shortage of logging areas.
The Foundation Establishment Woodyard is no longer sufficient; he needs to go to a better one.
He can ask some senior brothers.
Just say he wants to earn more spirit stones.
Also, it's time to go to the Scripture Pavilion.
Inner Sect Scripture Pavilion entrance.
Gu An landed on the plaza with his sword, looking at the bustling entrance, feeling quite emotional.
The change of entrance represents a change in his status.
It's a pity that the Inner Sect is more complicated than the Outer Sect.
It seems that the more status one has, the more complicated life becomes.
Afterward, Gu An followed the clues given by Hua Jiyang and arrived at the second floor.
The second floor was very large, filled with many jade scrolls.
Naturally, there were many people.
It's just...
...:
There was no elder.
Gu An could only wander around, and soon he saw people gathered in the depths.
Some people were even discussing.
Approaching quickly, he found two elders playing chess.
Gu An saw that it was Go.
Go....
He didn't understand it very well.
But the chess players were elders, and in the cultivation world, chess-playing elders often carried many legends.
Like "Watching Chess Rotting Axe."
Gu An looked at the onlookers and found that they were all young people.
They were either praising the left or praising the right.
Gu An was wondering if these two people were related to the person Hua Jiyang mentioned.
Both elders were dressed in silk and satin, with graying beards and transcendent demeanors.
They looked like enlightened people.
But they were both at the Foundation Establishment Completion stage.
"You're here to watch chess too?" A voice suddenly sounded: "A new face."
Gu An turned to look at the person next to him and found that it was a man older than himself.
Probably in his sixties.
Late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Even weaker than himself.
"I just arrived. Does Senior Brother want to watch?" Gu An immediately offered a spot.
"You're quite respectful to your peers," the old man said with a soft laugh.
Gu An silently corrected in his heart:
"Senior Brother looks over sixty, I'm only fifty. We're not peers, I'm still young."
Although it's interesting to act like an elder, it's a bit of a pity when facing someone even older.
After all, it's not convincing.
In the Outer Sect, almost no one is older than him.
In the Inner Sect, there's a handful.
Especially those at the Foundation Establishment stage.
As long as he completes the task here, he will most likely achieve Golden Core.
A Golden Core at forty, is that old?
It should be very young.
Seeing Gu An give up his spot, the old man was a little curious: "You're not watching?"
"I don't understand," Gu An said truthfully.
The old man sighed: "I didn't understand it at first either, but I specially learned it in order to understand. It's said that the chess pieces here can pull people into other spaces.
If you're lucky, you can obtain inheritance."
"Has anyone obtained it before?" Gu An asked.
"Yes, some have," the old man said firmly.
This surprised Gu An a little.
But he really didn't understand, did he have to go back and learn?
If it really was the person Hua Jiyang mentioned, learning wouldn't be a problem.
If it wasn't...
There was no need to stay and waste time.
After saying thank you, Gu An turned and left.
He started looking to see if there were any normal elders.
But after searching around, he found that apart from the two chess players, the old man watching was the oldest.
Gu An sighed.
He stepped away.
He would come back later.
He returned without success.
Afterward, Gu An would come to the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion every morning after completing his task, before going to the Iron Heart Wood.
He would watch chess for a while, and then leave and wander around when the old man came over to greet him.
Finally, he would look at the books.
He knew very little about the affairs of the cultivation world.
In the afternoon, he needed to go logging.
In addition, when logging at night, Gu An looked for the manager.
He proposed going to another logging area.
The other party was a little surprised.
But he still agreed, asking where he wanted to go.
Gu An's answer was simple: wherever there are more spirit stones.
The other party gave the answer of the Amazing God Wood.
Ten spirit stones.
Gu An shook his head.
Afterward, the other party proposed the Blood God Wood logging area.
The negative effect of logging there is the extraction of blood energy, twenty spirit stones. He should try it.
If it doesn't work, he can come back.
He could go the next day.
The next day.
January 6th.
There are almost three months left until Ren Yinghua's plan begins.
Gu An came to the Scripture Pavilion again.
Watching the two play chess, Gu An found that the game had always been ordinary, at least he, as an observer, thought it was ordinary.
Perhaps he couldn't see the mysteries within.
"Junior Brother is here again?" The old man appeared.
Gu An smiled and said: "Senior Brother, please."
The other party was very punctual. He should go logging after reading a book for a while.
At night.
The location of the Blood God Wood was on the mountain behind the Thunder Wood.
It wasn't far away.
The blood-red wood, with crimson leaves, had a unique beauty.
When he chopped it down.
Gu An felt a portion of his blood energy being drawn away.
It was somewhat similar to the Amazing God Wood.
Both had the feeling of being drawn away.
Giving people a twisted discomfort.
It had been a long time since he had felt such side effects.
Logging was very slow all night.
But what was gratifying was that.
The warm current appeared quickly.
The values were also changing rapidly.
[Technique: 43 / 50]
[Hard Cultivation: 88 / 100]
[Technique: 44 / 50]
[Technique: 45 / 50]
[Hard Cultivation: 89 / 100]
There were actually five or six changes in value in one night.
This showed that his improvement speed had increased exponentially.
But when going down the mountain, Gu An looked at his somewhat dry self and fell silent.
If this continued, he would become skin and bones.
The next day, Gu An went to the Scripture Pavilion again.
The old man was stunned when he saw Gu An: "You went to log Blood God Wood? You look very much like it. Speaking of which, why do you keep coming here?"
Gu An asked curiously: "What about Senior Brother? Why are you here?"
"Watching chess."
"I heard there's a task here, I came to accept the task, but I haven't seen anyone to get it from."
The old man looked blank: "Accept a task? Then why don't you ask? I have a task."
Gu An: "???"
