#191 - Big brother, I kneel down and call you big brother
Gu An could only handle it simply and then determine whether to silence them.
Only after confirming there were no issues did he quickly leave.
He was actually a little curious whether the people from the Hall of Law Enforcement would directly trace it back to him if they investigated.
Of course, curiosity was curiosity, but he didn't want the Hall of Law Enforcement to investigate.
Otherwise, it would be very troublesome.
In addition.
He had an extra mark on his hand, and he didn't know what it was for at all.
The Hall of Law Enforcement should be looking for him soon, hopefully, the matter of Lou Jin and the other four would not involve him.
In that case, he should be able to escape unscathed.
After all, it was the other party who suddenly threw the thing over, and he didn't run away.
So, he just needs to cooperate with the investigation.
At most, he would hand over the thing. His inability to deal with it doesn't mean the Hall of Law Enforcement can't.
Returning to his residence, Gu An did not go out again.
There were still rumbling sounds outside, and he didn't know when the fighting would stop.
Fortunately, it didn't reach inside again.
Only then did Gu An check the four storage treasures.
Four thousand spirit stones.
Adding his own four thousand plus, he suddenly had eight thousand eight spirit stones.
This...
His wealth all depended on his fellow disciples.
Without their generosity, there would be no him today.
Now Gu An was a little curious whether ten thousand spirit stones could buy a cultivation method above the Golden Core stage.
Even Foundation Establishment methods cost more than one or two thousand, and Golden Core methods were even more expensive.
It was unlikely that ten thousand could buy a method above the Golden Core stage.
Unless he could take advantage of someone's misfortune.
He had a simple understanding of the Evergreen Sect, which didn't seem very wealthy.
They were also small clients in the Azurewood Sect.
He had to see if there were any tasks related to the Evergreen Sect so he could investigate the situation.
After that, Gu An continued to check the storage treasures.
There weren't many things inside, just some miscellaneous things that weren't worth much.
Of course, among these things, Gu An saw a sapling.
An ordinary sapling.
He took out the sapling and began to observe it.
It was about a foot long.
It had three or five branches, and the leaves were narrow and slender.
"What kind of tree is this?"
Gu An sensed it, but didn't detect anything on the tree.
Only suddenly, the mark in his hand appeared warm.
This…
"Could it be that what the Blood Refinement Sect went to great lengths to find is this tree?"
"Is it such a coincidence?"
If that was the case, then it would be really troublesome.
He didn't want to get involved.
Especially since the mark in his hand could actually resonate with this tree.
That was an even bigger problem.
"Why are these inexplicable things coming into my hands?"
Why not give such an important thing to a cautious person?
Why did it end up in the hands of a Golden Core cultivator like him?
It seemed like a good thing, but it could be fatal at any time.
Important things were easily investigated. If that Blood Refinement Sect expert escaped, he was very likely to come after him.
And if Lou Jin and the others had such treasures, the sect would definitely retrieve them if they found out, and thus investigate who killed her.
He couldn't escape at all.
He had to hand it over.
But to whom?
Chu Meng was a good choice, but Du Gujing knew a part of it, so he was also a choice.
In this way, Gu An had an idea.
Give the tree to Chu Meng, and the mark to Du Gujing.
Then he could completely extricate himself.
In fact, apart from some spirit stones, he really didn't get any benefits.
Heavenly Dao abhors fullness, and human nature abhors perfection.
The things that two major sects fought so hard to obtain would eventually fall into his hands.
He couldn't bear it with his strength.
Besides, his opportunities were already strong enough.
This thing wasn't as important as he thought.
But it could take his life at any time.
Just as he was still thinking, suddenly the mark began to heat up.
It seemed that something was awakening in the mark.
Gu An was shocked, his consciousness was being affected.
Not daring to hesitate, he fully activated the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Scripture.
In an instant, his mind was clear.
"Who is it?" Gu An said coldly.
"You actually woke up so quickly?" An old voice sounded in Gu An's mind.
With a hint of surprise.
At this time, Gu An lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a moment.
Things were a bit beyond expectations.
"Who is senior?" He could clearly sense that the voice originated from the mark.
"A person who can change your destiny." The old voice was full of arrogance.
Gu An was silent for a moment and said, "How will senior change it?"
"How many years have you spent cultivating?" the old voice asked.
Gu An was silent for a moment and said, "About a hundred years."
"Then your talent is really poor. If you hadn't met me, your future would have been like this.
Don't look at that tree in your hand being so small, it's actually in a sealed state. As long as you break the seal, it will be a big tree. If you use it to cultivate, you can break through to the Golden Core stage in at most ten years." The old voice said confidently, "And how to use it requires a cultivation method. You can worship me as your teacher, and I can teach you.
From then on, you will soar into the sky.
Your fate is in your hands, not in the heavens."
After saying that, the source of the voice was waiting. He didn't believe that anyone would refuse such a speed of promotion.
After a while.
Gu An looked at the seal and said, "Senior, if the seal is opened, how big will the tree inside be?"
"How big?" What kind of question was this? The other party didn't think much about it and continued to laugh in an old voice:
"It's more than a zhang tall, the age is still young. As long as you plant it for a hundred years, you will become a generation of heavenly pride, where can't you go?"
Four or five meters? Gu An looked up at the ceiling, it should be almost seven meters.
A tall space would be convenient for performing some spells.
After that, Gu An observed it and indeed found traces of power, like a veil.
After clearing the space and setting up various formations and talismans, he asked the mysterious man again.
After confirming that everything was fine, the Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper tore through the veil.
Sure enough...
A large tree with an autumnal feel began to manifest.
Not only that, this tree seemed to have meridians.
Just one look was enough to confirm that it was extraordinary.
Looking at the tree, Gu An was quite emotional.
It really was a completely different tree from before.
"Have you felt it? As long as you can use this tree to cultivate, then the future will definitely be smooth, and your destiny will change because of this." The old voice was full of temptation.
Gu An nodded: "What senior said is true, that's indeed the case."
Responding like this, Gu An took out an axe from his storage treasure.
He had bought this axe before.
In case he needed to cut wood one day.
Sure enough, it was used today.
"What are you doing with the axe?" The appearance of the axe surprised him when he was still pleased that this person would surely fall into his trap.
Gu An said seriously: "This junior has some attainments in the way of logging."
Mark: "? ? ?"
What's wrong with you having attainments?
Don't you want to cut wood?
Seeing Gu An swing the axe, the consciousness in the mark instantly understood that this boy had ordinary talent but great ambition. Was he trying to force him?
He thought he would definitely have to yield and say more things.
He had met many such people.
"Boy, you must understand that the more perfect this tree is, the better it will be for your future, and the longer you will go. If you cut it down, then you will be cutting off your own future." The old voice came.
However...
As soon as his voice fell, Gu An chopped the axe on the tree trunk.
A muffled sound rang out.
The yellowed trunk was directly cut with a gap.
A warm current also appeared in Gu An's body, and his bitter cultivation changed.
[Bitter Cultivation: 1 / 100]
Gu An was completely stunned.
Creation, great creation.
Not to mention the tempering one would receive upon reaching Golden Core Completion.
Even the Qi Sea and Heavenly Dipper might achieve Great Accomplishment.
With such fortune, it seems there's no way to directly give it to Chu Meng.
But I can give Chu Meng the tree I've chopped down.
I just don't know if she'll want it, or if it will count as completing the mission.
The identity token is indeed very useful to me.
As long as I enter the Enforcement Hall, most people probably won't dare to attack me.
And I won't be doing anything else inside, just logging.
In that case, they should welcome me.
The other person was also dumbfounded; he never expected this person to actually use the axe.
Normally, shouldn't he say a few harsh words and then propose conditions?
You just chop without saying a word, not playing by the rules.
"You, what are you doing?" The old voice exclaimed.
"Chopping wood," Gu An casually replied.
Then he swung the axe and continued logging.
"Stop!" The old voice became sharp,
as if he saw something that terrified him.
However, Gu An didn't stop and continued logging.
Bang!
A muffled sound came again, and the bark shattered.
Another warm current appeared.
Bitter cultivation increased a bit again.
Truly a great fortune.
And without any obvious side effects.
It seems that this tree is indeed extraordinary.
I just don't know how many strikes this not-too-big, not-too-small tree can withstand.
"Boy, dare to continue trying, do you know this is a Divine Tree? Once people find out, you will be doomed."
Bang!
Bitter cultivation increased a bit again.
"Stop it! When I get out, I will definitely kill you! I will never share the same sky with you!"
Bang!
This time there was no warm current, but I increased the force.
One more time.
Bang!
The warm current appeared.
Technique increased a bit.
Technique is just one last bit away from being full.
Bad luck.
At this time, Gu An had already seen the tree's meridians, and that voice also began to threaten: "If you continue, I guarantee your future will be ruined. Without the tree's help, you won't go far."
Bang!
Bang!
Gu An completely ignored the other party and continued logging.
"Don't, stop, I submit to you, what can we discuss? You can name any condition."
However, Gu An completely ignored the other party and continued logging.
"Don't chop anymore, please, I beg you."
However, Gu An still continued logging.
"I'll kneel, can't I kneel to you? Stop it, please."
The sound of logging rose and fell.
"Bro, big brother, can't I call you big brother? I'll kneel and call you big brother, stop chopping, please? I apologize, I spoke loudly just now, please give your little brother some face.
Let's not chop anymore, okay?"
At this time, the axe in Gu An's hand stopped.
He found that the Technique was full, so should he chop or not?
From the current point of view, he has only chopped a little bit, and a little improvement can continue to chop.
And definitely not just once or twice.
But there's an old man snooping around, I don't know if he'll discover anything.
If he's discovered and handed over, it would be a bit troublesome.
But with my current strength, it seems I can't interfere with him.
It's really troublesome.
"Big brother, what are you thinking about? Do you need me to do something? Just say it."
Now, the consciousness in the imprint doesn't dare to say anything randomly.
This person is really a beast.
He just chops this kind of Divine Tree without a second thought, doesn't his conscience hurt?
I was just pretending casually, if you're not satisfied, just say it directly, why chop like this?
Doesn't he treat the Divine Tree as a tree?
"Is there a way to get you out of my palm?" Gu An asked.
"There is a way, it's just to integrate me into the tree," the imprint consciousness said.
Gu An was silent, then said:
"What's your name?"
"When I was alive, people called me Blood Demon Sovereign, my Blood Transformation Great Art swept across the world, but I can't remember the specifics, I'm too weak, many things will be forgotten with the passage of time." Blood Demon Sovereign paused, and continued: "Big brother can just call me Little Blood in the future."
Gu An felt that the other party's voice had become much younger, but he didn't care, and instead asked a simple question: "What realm is above Golden Core?"
He knew very little about this and hadn't gone to the library to look it up.
After all, it wasn't time to improve yet, and he didn't have this kind of cultivation method.
He didn't know if this Blood Demon Sovereign had it.
"Above Golden Core?" Blood Demon Sovereign thought for a moment and said:
"Above Golden Core is refining one's own Qi, and condensing the mind in the body's consciousness.
Refining Qi to transform into Spirit, achieving Nascent Soul.
Once the Nascent Soul emerges, the originally lifeless Golden Core power will gain spirituality, as if it has come alive.
It will begin to mobilize the body's and the universe's spiritual Qi.
There is a world of difference compared to the Golden Core.
In the past, we called this realm Refining Qi to transform into Spirit, now this realm should be called Nascent Soul."
Nascent Soul? Gu An thought for a moment and continued: "Do you have a Nascent Soul method?"
"If big brother asks, I naturally have it." Blood Demon Sovereign smiled and said:
"I have a method called Blood Refinement of Heaven and Earth, it is an unparalleled method.
Gather the world's essence blood, refine one's own spirit, achieve a Divine Blood Demon Body.
Invincible under heaven."
"Invincible under heaven?" Gu An asked curiously: "How did you die?"
Blood Demon Sovereign: ...
Gu An had no interest in this method.
He still wanted to cultivate the Primordial Longevity Art.
He felt that this was very suitable for him.
"Do you have anything else?" Gu An asked.
"In the past, I collected countless methods from the world, everything is available." Blood Demon Sovereign said proudly.
"What about now?" Gu An asked.
Blood Demon Sovereign was stunned for a moment and said: "The storage magic treasure is gone, and the collected things are gone."
Gu An said expressionlessly: "So you don't have it?"
Blood Demon: "..."
"Let's talk about how to take out the imprint on my hand first," Gu An said.
As long as he could take it out, then he could attack or defend.
"This is a long story." Blood Demon's voice began to lower, he immediately said: "Time is running out,
Big brother, you must get close to the Divine Tree, so that I can wake up again and serve big brother.
Tomorrow...
Before he could finish speaking, the other party directly lost his voice.
Gu An communicated several times, but there were no results.
He sensed it, but there were also no results.
For safety's sake, he decided to wait for the Zi hour to pass.
It was already night.
Once the Zi hour passed, he could know the general situation from the Ring of Destiny.
But this Blood Demon Sovereign was indeed a bit strange.
He just didn't seem to be of any use.
It wouldn't be bad to hand him over.
"Does my mind still have to consider such complicated things? It's really embarrassing."
Gu An had never thought of getting involved in so many troublesome things.
He could become stronger just by logging well, why participate in these things?
There was no need at all.
But the Divine Tree still had to be chopped, after a few more years, he suspected that this tree would no longer be something he could chop.
After confirming the situation, then advance a bit, and continue logging.

I slept in and didn't have time to update at noon.
