After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 125: You Want to Teach Me Logging?

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: You Want to Teach Me Logging?

After taking the Spirit Stone, Gu An gave some food to the noodle-like creature.

The other party was very excited, and Gu An couldn’t tell how much it had grown.

However, regarding the second volume of Qi Sea Sky Gang, it seemed to benefit a lot from it.

It was eating with much more excitement than before.

It was just that Gu An didn’t know what its croaking meant.

Once his own status was stable enough, he would have to teach it how to talk; if it couldn’t speak, then at least how to recognize characters.

This way, communication would be much more convenient.

It wouldn’t always be about watching the creature gesture with its two fins non-stop.

After that, Gu An checked the upper and lower streams; the downstream connected to Qianfeng River, while the upstream might connect to the deep mountains, which were uncertain.

In the future, he had no idea where the noodle-like creature would go when it left.

"I have no idea why it suddenly developed the habit of going out," Gu An was quite puzzled.

Previously, when he was around, the creature would legitimately hide in the pond.

Once Chu Meng was asked to look after it, it began to go out.

For now, going out seemed to bring back Spirit Stones.

That was a good thing.

"Could it be that I’m not that good at taking care of spirit pets?"

Thinking about it carefully, indeed, he wasn’t much good at it.

Without further thought, Gu An returned to his room, which he had re-arranged; the layout was not much different from his quarters in the Outer Sect.

It was just that there was an additional balcony on the tree, which was truly more comfortable than the yard in the Outer Sect, and from here, he could directly see the excavated pond.

With a calm mind, Gu An began practicing Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

In such a state, his mind was free of distractions, which was the most effective for learning.

Then he opened the book "Five Organs Innate Strength" to see how to cultivate it.

The Five Organs.

He observed the five internal organs in his body, gathering Innate Strength to provide feedback to his body, completing the tempering process.

The first step was to gather Qi in the liver and spleen.

The spleen transformed Qi into blood, and the liver circulated Qi-blood.

Once the spleen had enough Qi, he would begin practicing body skills to fuse the Innate Strength.

Possessing innate energy, he would have an easier time than others.

Once this step was completed, with enough accumulation, he could quickly finish the Body Refining Technique of Qi Refinement.

The first step of Gathering Qi was completed very quickly; Perfect Foundation Establishment provided a substantial advantage.

Especially since his own foundation was built upon a wisp of innate energy.

Therefore, Gu An left the house and came to the courtyard to begin his Body Refining practices according to the Body Skill’s technique mentioned in the book.

Body Skills began with fists and feet, solidified in Qi-blood, tempering the five organs.

The sinews and bones sang in unison, and Qi-blood blazed like fire.

Gu An landed each punch and kick without the slightest slack.

He felt like his body was a furnace, igniting a fire that tempered the innate energy.

Sunrise and sunset.

Day after day.

Gu An sweated profusely, his steps steady.

Spiritual Energy served as the kindling for the fire starting to burn.

Gu An’s fists grew increasingly powerful, gradually, as he punched, he carried a form of invisible force.

Then Qi-blood circulated, at first like a stream, flowing through the body.

Slowly it transformed into a river, and then it was like the Yangtze River raging.

At this moment, Gu An felt his body burning like fire.

His spirit reached its peak.

The full strength of Perfect Foundation Establishment aided the Body Refining Method.

Deep into the night.

Only then did such flames finally subside.

With that, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally made an entrance.

In eight days’ time, he completed the Body Refining Technique of Qi Refinement.

Gu An pinched his arm and found that his physical body had indeed grown much stronger.

He wanted to continue, but the subsequent steps would definitely not be so easy.

He had borrowed the cultivation of Perfect Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, not to mention eight days, even eight months might not be enough to complete it.

At most, he could condense another spot of Innate Strength.

Any more would take months of time.

He could use a period of Hard Cultivation.

But after careful calculation, he realized that his learning speed was really fast.

Now he needed to focus his energy on logging.

He hadn’t gone there in eight days.

He wondered if he would be noticed.

Additionally, he was also curious if his body could now withstand the side effects of Iron Heart Wood.

In the early morning.

Gu An did not linger; after feeding the noodle-like creature, he headed straight towards the small mountain peak.

Iron Heart Wood Management Office.

"Senior Brother is here again?" The Immortal in charge greeted with a smile.

Gu An nodded: "Took a few days of rest."

Afterward, he picked up an axe and started logging.

Finding the wood he worked on before, Gu An began swinging his axe.

The first strike.

Clang!

Gu An carefully sensed his body and found that his Qi-Blood seemed to have been impacted but didn’t scatter.

This meant the effect was much better.

Taking a deep breath, Gu An operated the Body Refining Technique, using Spiritual Energy as firewood to combat the side effects.

Clang!

Clang!!

Clang!!!

After getting proficient, Gu An’s axe falls became stronger, and the sound grew louder.

Seeing the notches gradually appearing, Gu An felt an indescribable sense of achievement in his heart.

Finally, I can chop wood again.

Clang!

Clang!!

After familiarizing himself for a while, Gu An started to increase his strength.

Finally, when half of his Spiritual Energy was exhausted, a Warm Current emerged.

[Magic: 3/50]

"It’s finally increasing."

If I could increase a little in the past few days, now I can at least increase by one point in a day.

Noon.

Gu An put down the axe, his body trembling slightly.

After the Spiritual Energy was drained, the Qi-Blood began to get consumed.

Although it was much slower than before, the intensity was too great to be sustained.

Fortunately, the Warm Current emerged again.

[Hard Cultivation: 71/100]

Two points are quite a lot.

But the Token hasn’t lit up yet, indicating there’s still some way to the target.

Thus, Gu An returned the axe afterward and went to rest.

Continuing to study the Body Refining Technique.

Five days later.

Gu An’s Token finally lit up.

He kept chopping wood during these days.

But the Warm Current seemed to be getting rarer.

Occasionally once, occasionally twice.

In five days, it appeared a total of eight times.

Five of them were for the Magic.

Which means, as of now, Magic was easier to obtain than Hard Cultivation.

But only two of the Five Internal Organs had Innate Strength, and the kidneys only had innate energy.

Still need time to transform to Hua Jin.

Now it’s mid-June.

Fifteen days left until July.

Not sure if I can complete the logging task.

If not completed, then so be it; I don’t really care.

I haven’t seen Senior Brother Ye and the others for half a month, fortunately, they don’t care about me either.

Good for everyone.

It’s just that if the task is not completed, I’ll probably have to see them again, which could be troublesome.

Of course, if they don’t call next month, I won’t plan to go either.

Set on his determination, Gu An continued to pick up the axe to chop wood.

This time he found another person in the forest.

A man in his late twenties, looking quite fierce.

He must have joined the Inner Sect in the last few years, still at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

Without any intention to interact, Gu An turned his head and walked deeper into the forest.

But before he took two steps, the man looked over and said, "Stop."

Gu An turned his head to look.

The man had a ring tied on his forehead, looking like a Magic Treasure.

"Never seen you before, just joined the Inner Sect this year?" The man asked.

Gu An nodded: "Yes, it’s been a month."

"The new guy, then you are my Junior Brother?" The man smiled:

"After all, it’s all about chopping wood, come over, try my axe, let me guide you a bit."

Seeing that Gu An was indifferent, the man sneered:

"What? You think you know how to do it well?"
