After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 467 - 318: How Can I Arrange a Marriage Alliance as a Spy of the Zhuanlun Lineage? (Part 2)

Chapter 467: Chapter 318: How Can I Arrange a Marriage Alliance as a Spy of the Zhuanlun Lineage? (Part 2)

"Why?" Cheng Yifei asked curiously.

"To arrange logging these trees according to Cangmu Sect’s standards, one needs the cultivation of a Primordial Spirit," Gu An replied.

"You seem to use axes for logging; what if Golden Cores were to wield those axes?" Feng Qing asked.

Gu An shook his head slightly: "These trees often have side effects, and some axes cannot be wielded by ordinary Golden Cores, and to send a team of Primordial Spirits is not so easy.

Golden Cores can log as well, but the impact is significant, and the cost is high."

Of course, there was something else Gu An didn’t mention.

That is, if there are enough Spirit Stones, the Sect would still send people out.

But Primordial Spirits are almost always disciples from the mountain.

Asking them to log, who knows how many Spirit Stones it would take.

After all, they’ve made it up the mountain and escaped the laborious logging.

Even if there are assignments, they could simply buy from the mountain base.

Many people participate in the night logging yard.

Even the disciples from the mountain on Outer Peak directly hire others to log.

The control of the Sect isn’t that strict.

It’s just a crackdown now and then.

The night logging yard doesn’t comply with the Sect’s rules, but it aligns with those disciples’ interests on the mountain.

Backed by some True Inheritors, they are willing to take risks.

After all, the profits are not trivial.

Outer Disciples and those who just entered the Inner Sect from the mountain base looking to earn enough Spirit Stones need to invest more time, energy, and physical effort.

This is hard to change; everyone is striving to become stronger, they can’t stand out just with the resources from the Sect.

It’s a twisted thought, but sending Primordial Spirits to log is not easy.

Gu An withdrew his gaze, looking at the three people.

Although he knew their purpose, he wasn’t in a hurry.

His mission is to interact with them, presumably there are subsequent tasks, so naturally, he tries to get on good terms.

"If we can’t ask people from Cangmu Sect to log, could we ask them for guidance?" Cheng Yifei suddenly spoke out.

Hearing this, Gu An was slightly surprised.

After pondering, he said: "That’s not difficult, but it requires specific axes."

Some axes from the Sect are common, but special Spirit Trees need specific axes.

These need to be remade.

The three were somewhat surprised, then turned to Gu An: "Then whom should we approach?"

Gu An looked at the three: "Are you sure you want guidance for logging and then forging axes?"

Cheng Yifei hesitated, took out a bottle of Elixir Pills and said: "Not purchasing Spirit Wood indeed causes trouble for fellow daoist."

Gu An wasn’t polite, taking the Elixir Pills and asked: "No trouble, but since you want guidance, do you have specific requirements?

Like needed cultivation, what identity, and how many people."

"Preferably three, obviously, the more experienced, the better, although we understand that the more experienced, the more Spirit Stones are needed," Cheng Yifei said.

"Good, but I will take the trees with me, are there any cultivation requirements?" Gu An asked again.

He could just apply when he returned.

It wasn’t anything difficult.

Business, after all, can be done everywhere outside the Peak.

Especially recognising Spirit Trees in other places.

It’s beneficial for the Sect’s logging.

"Primordial Spirit would be best," Cheng Yifei stated.

Gu An nodded: "I understand, the three seniors stay here to rest for a day, and the conclusion will be reached by tomorrow morning."

Then Gu An left, having someone guide them to rest.

On the way, Cheng Yifei curiously asked the leading Immortal: "Is the efficiency of Outer Peak this high? It’s already afternoon, and results will be out tomorrow?"

The Immortal nodded: "Others might be slower in their applications, but applications from Leader Gu are very fast."

Hearing this, the three were somewhat surprised.

It seems they did not expect the application process of Golden Core Late Stage could be so fast.

Could it be that Golden Core Late Stage has a high status in this Sect?

But it is unlikely, on the way they saw many Golden Cores, who are basically just logging.

"Why is that?" the young Immortal, Feng Qing, asked.

The guiding Immortal seriously said: "Because Leader Gu is a legendary figure in the Sect, do you know about our Sect’s Barrier Array?"

"Night Barrier, an ancient Array, extremely powerful," Feng He immediately said.

He had observed some when he first came in, and with his understanding of Arrays, he had no way to counter them.

"Yes, that was created by Leader Gu through logging, not only that, many other things were also created by Leader Gu through logging.

Not to mention Golden Cores, no one among the Primordial Spirits knows more about logging than Leader Gu.

Moreover, Leader Gu is a character who constantly dominates the Merit List.

He is also a Peak Master’s disciple, the head of the First Institute.

Aside from having lower cultivation, not many in Outer Peak can compare to Leader Gu," the Immortal spoke earnestly, with some admiration.

However, there was something she didn’t say, that is Leader Gu likes killing people.

"Perhaps it’s because he joined the Zhuanlun lineage, leading to instability in his spirit."

"If not for this, how could he often enter the Law Enforcement Hall?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them were all shocked.

So, the person greeting them was such a person?

With such a high status and identity?

They thought he was just a mere Golden Core Late Stage.

Mainly because he is not very young, who could have imagined he’d possess such abilities.

After pausing, Cheng Yifei suddenly said, "Is he very good at logging?"

"More than good, in the Outer Peak logging yard, if he says he’s second, no one would claim to be first, Leader Gu is extremely keen on logging," replied the guiding Immortal.

"Does he teach others?" Feng He asked.

Upon hearing this, the guiding Immortal shook her head, "I haven’t heard of it."

The three of them looked at each other as if they wanted to discuss something.

"Right, there was also a rumor recently in the Sect," the guiding Immortal suddenly spoke.

"What?" the three asked puzzled.

The guiding Immortal looked around and said: "Do you know about the royal marriage alliance with our sect?"

The three nodded slightly: "We’ve heard about it."

The guiding Immortal earnestly said, "I heard that our Leader Gu is one of the candidates for the marriage."

The three became more serious.

They momentarily had a thought; if they invited him to the Jiuxiao Pavilion, could it solve their urgent dilemma?

...

After submitting the application, Gu An returned to his lodging.

As soon as he arrived, he found Shu Ci and Pang Wen were already waiting for him, both somewhat excited.

"What’s wrong?" Gu An asked.

"Leader, you’re about to soar to great heights," Shu Ci said excitedly.

Gu An looked at them and said, "What happened? Did I commit a heinous crime?"

The Demon Sect doesn’t commit heinous deeds and naturally can’t soar to great heights.

"No, it’s the royal marriage, and leader, you are a candidate for this royal marriage," Pang Wen said excitedly: "Leader, you have to give it your all."

Gu An was stunned, a bit surprised: "How are you so sure about this?"

"Leader, you don’t know?" Shu Ci immediately said: "It’s already spread across the sect, it’s the candidate list released by the Law Enforcement Hall, that is, the Six Courtyard.

It turns out the Six Courtyard was established to select the candidates."

Pang Wen also excitedly said: "Leader, we can’t lose, we need to strive for first place."

Gu An: "...."

How could it suddenly be announced?

Did something happen in the sect, or something within the Royal Family?

It should logically be the Royal Family, as all news points to internal issues within the Royal Family.

But, announcing it like this doesn’t benefit me.

Because I’m a spy from the Zhuanlun lineage.

How is this going to work for a marriage alliance?

"Leader, aren’t you happy?" Shu Ci curiously asked.

Gu An shook his head slightly: "You might not know, the Royal Family and the Zhuanlun lineage are mortal enemies."

The two were stunned.

Of course, they had also heard that the Leader is from the Zhuanlun lineage.

Whether it’s true or not, they couldn’t be sure, but everyone thinks it’s true.

That could only mean he is a spy from the Zhuanlun lineage.

In such a case...

How could he be a candidate for a royal marriage?

Gu An was rather helpless; if the sect outright abandons him, then he’d lose some protection.

He had provoked the Heavenly Maiden Lineage and the Zhuanlun lineage.

This makes it easy for him to be handed over.

After Pang Wen and others left, Gu An was quite emotional.

He never thought that things would change this fast.

According to the previous situation, selecting the marriage partner would take at the most a year or two.

It seems like the outside is also in chaos.

I need to quickly increase my cultivation.

Just look at what the next mission from Chu Meng is, getting into Luo Sheng Hall is the most correct action.

It can increase strength quickly.

Just as he sat down in the courtyard, he saw someone walking in.

It was Chu Meng, with an odd expression.

Gu An’s first thought upon seeing him was that there’s a mission, perhaps related to the Royal Family, especially since the six candidates were just exposed.
