#245 - Speed up the selection of marriage candidates
Azurewood Sect.
Situ Baichuan and the others gathered in the main hall once again.
January, the new year.
They naturally wanted to discuss the latest progress.
The middle-aged man at the head looked at Situ Baichuan and said with emotion, "I thought Tianxuan Peak had taken in a dispensable disciple, but who would have thought that he would now be famous throughout the sect.
His achievements are remarkable.
No matter how much others are supported, it will be difficult to surpass him."

‘Even if he can't surpass him, it doesn't matter, after all, he looks old.’ The lively fairy smiled:
“Being old is not necessarily liked, it's hard to say whether it will be him in the end.
After all, it's not up to us to decide, we can only give candidates, the decision is up to the royal family or the person involved."
“That's true, now there are six candidates, all of whom have some reputation, but none of them are talented enough.
But they have made some achievements in other aspects.” Situ Baichuan said with a smile, “The one from Tianxuan Peak looks a bit old and his cultivation is average.
His talent is not strong, and his only hobby is logging.
His achievements are also due to his love of logging.
Unfortunately, luck doesn't come every time.
In a few years, he will be forgotten.
When the reputation of others rises, he will not be able to compare with them.
Besides, he is reckless and will cause trouble down the mountain.
Now, if he goes out on a mission, he may never return.
?’
‘How pitiful.’ The compassionate fairy said worriedly, “He was already involved in the competition,
Now he has an accident when he goes out.
He has already made it onto the merit list, but he has only enjoyed a few benefits, and he has been missing for a month.
How desperate he must be.”
“The royal family has sent a letter.” Suddenly, the middle-aged man said:
“They said to determine the candidates as soon as possible, at least give three, they want to choose.”
“Is the marriage between Dao Sect and the royal family imminent?” Situ Baichuan asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head: “That's naturally not the case, they just don't want any accidents to happen, and they want someone to nod or even come forward to preside over the wedding.”
“Who?” The youthful fairy asked curiously.
“The Sect Master.” The middle-aged man replied.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
“The Sect Master doesn't like to go down the mountain, does he also have to come forward for this matter?” The compassionate fairy said with emotion, “Then he is too pitiful.”
“Is it possible?” Situ Baichuan frowned: “Three hundred years ago, the Sect Master went down the mountain once, and has never gone down the mountain since.
Sometimes we go to discuss important matters, but he refuses to leave his residence.
He insists that we, small sects, should be less hostile to others, go out less, and focus on cultivation.
Because of this, the sect has not been able to expand for so many years.
Every time we want to expand, he refuses.
Every time we want to destroy some sects that are too欺人, he refuses again.
Not only can we not expand, but we also have to endure humiliation.”
“It's hard to say, something must have happened three hundred years ago, the Sect Master has never been as high-spirited as he used to be, it seems he suffered some fatal blow.” The middle-aged man said with emotion, “He probably just wants us to handle it, and then we'll try to probe it out.”
“By the way, Linghua Sect should have a result.” The youthful woman said.
“No matter what the result is, we have to accept it.
It's best if nothing happens, but if something happens, and one of our disciples on the merit list has an accident, can they just say sorry?
They have to compensate.” The middle-aged man looked at everyone and said calmly:
“They will handle this matter well, but the Merit Hall may be a little too激进.
It doesn't matter, it won't affect anything.”
Situ Baichuan frowned: “Then I'm eliminated? If that's the case, I'll have to take a trip to Linghua Valley.”
Mid-January is approaching.
Gu An looked at the few remaining trees and remained silent.
In these days, the wood in the forest has been cut down by him.
Now there are only three left, but...
It's not quite enough.
Gu An sighed.
He looked at the panel.
【Name: Gu An】
【Cultivation: Yuan Shen Perfection】
【State: Poison enters the Qi Sea, Qi Sea produces Xuan Huang】
【Techniques: 46 / 50】
【Asceticism: 98 / 100】
【Wheel of Fate】
Three trees are not enough to improve techniques.
But he has enough asceticism.
But he hasn't fully learned the Qi Hai Tian Gang, so he can't advance.
Not only that, but he also doesn't have any follow-up techniques.
In addition, Huangyun Mountain sent a message not long ago that the building has been excavated.
They are about to dig to the gate, and there seems to be something inside the building.
Gu An knew that he also had to go and see.
Although he didn't know what it would be, if he wanted to get out, he could only figure these things out.
Of course, the remaining trees must be cut down.
As the axe fell again and again.
A tree fell, two trees fell.
Three trees fell.
Finally, there was only one sapling left.
Knee-high.
Unfortunately, Gu An's value was still one short.
The warm current that appears cannot be changed.
Asceticism is full, more asceticism is useless.
And the technique doesn't come, it's still a bit short.
Gu An aimed the axe at the sapling.
Cut or not cut?
This tree doesn't look simple, after all, it's the core.
But he is only one value short.
What if there is one?
Without hesitation, Gu An directly waved his axe and chopped down.
Clang!
When the axe fell on the sapling, Gu An felt a resistance.
Failed?
This tree is protected by a force.
Gu An frowned and continued to chop.
Half an hour later.
He found that he couldn't consume this tree in a short time.
After hesitating for a moment, the Sui Chen Twelve Stars revolved.
Two bright virtual stars appeared around him.
Gu An grabbed the second virtual star, Dan.
He threw it out.
The star moved, gradually enlarged, covered the sapling, and after shrinking again, the star returned to Gu An's hand.
Disappeared in the Twelve Stars.
With that, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.
As for what was behind the barrier, he couldn't know, and there was no need to spy on it.
Maybe it's inside, but it's too risky for him to go in.
He should go and see what's under the building and find an exit.
Of course, before going, he had to open the storage magic weapons that those senior brothers sent before to take a look.
There is a barrier here, even if these storage magic weapons have special perception, they should be able to be shielded.
After a while.
Gu Lou returned to the location where everyone was and found that there was indeed a huge hole.
Many buildings were exposed below.
At this time, everyone was staying in front of a gate, and they all felt that there was something inside.
But no one dared to go in casually.
Gu An looked at Huangyun Mountain at this time, wondering if he would suddenly rush in.
After all, there might be good things inside.
Unfortunately, the other party did not go in.
He just said to invite Gu An.
However, Gu An had already arrived.
If the other party went in, Gu An wouldn't say anything.
Since he had the courage to go in, then he should bear the danger.
If he got the benefits, then it would be his.
He hadn't done nothing these days.
“Fellow Daoist.” Huangyun Mountain opened his mouth.
At this time, the others looked at Gu An, and many people were a little worried.
They were afraid that the other party would kill for the things inside,
Now it doesn't matter which sect it belongs to here.
As long as he gets it and hides it, then it's basically his.
Of course, it would be even better if there were no survivors.
Gu An looked at everyone, but he didn't know what these people were thinking.
But he looked at the gate and was silent for a moment.
Then he looked up at the sky.
“What's wrong?” Huangyun Mountain asked.
“The people outside are about to come in,” Gu An stated truthfully.
The small tree had been taken by him, and the power of the barrier seemed to have weakened a lot.
As long as the people outside put in a little effort, they should basically be able to enter.
‘Then, fellow Daoist, won't you go in and take a look?’ Huang Yunshan asked.
Gu An looked at the gate; he could feel something inside.
But whether it was good or bad, he couldn't know.
There was no need to take risks right now.
Then he said to everyone, “If you want to go in, you can go in; you can take whatever you get.
If you die inside, then you die inside.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Huang Yunshan was also a little incredulous.
After hesitating again and again, he asked, “Really?”
Gu An nodded.
No matter what opportunity was inside, he could resist the greed.
It wasn't that he was open-minded, but that he had good enough things.
There was no need to stare at the things in other people's hands.
Then he looked at everyone and said, “Go in and come out alive, and you don't have to say what's inside.
Everyone was silent again.
Finally, Huang Yunshan gritted his teeth, pushed open the door, and walked in.
A moment later, he came out again.
The others were puzzled, but Gu An didn't ask.
Shan Yuanrong also walked in.
Lin Rou wanted to stop him, but after hesitating, she gave up.
A moment later, Shan Yuanrong also came out.
Lin Rou thought for a while and also went in.
A moment later, she also came out.
Seeing this, everyone felt that there should be no danger inside.
But in Gu An's eyes, he could see that they were tainted with some bad aura.
After returning, they would be weak for at least a year or two.
But it was hard to say what they had gained.
So what exactly was inside?
Gu An wasn't sure either.
Except for Gu An, everyone went in once.
Without exception, everyone was tainted with that aura.
But their expressions were good.
Just as Gu An was hesitating whether to let Blood Spirit go in, a roar suddenly came from above.
Rumble!
Crack!
A crack appeared, and the entire mountain was split open.
Sunlight fell on them.
The long-lost dazzling light made their eyes squint.
The immense power made it even harder for them to move.
Even Gu An was a little shocked; the power of those experts seemed to far exceed his own.
It seemed that the other party was very concerned.
Then a voice came, “Found them, they're here.”
Gu An breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seemed that he was saved.
Then he looked at the door and finally withdrew his gaze.
He didn't know what was inside.
But not going in was the right thing for him.
In the past month or so, he had gained enough.
Naturally, it was better not to get involved in unknown dangers inside the door.
As long as he went back to find good trees, he could improve, so why risk his life to seize opportunities?
After that, the people from Linghua Valley came and immediately took the remaining people out.
They just looked at the door and then had people surround it.
That afternoon.
Gu An met Lai Yunlong, the leader of this mission.
They also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, they were a little surprised to hear that the mission had already ended.
Because Gu An had already dug out the building.
So this mission was completed.
Since it was completed, they could naturally return to the sect.
It just depended on whether Linghua Sect would let them go.
After all, the door had appeared, and anyone who saw it would understand what was behind the door.
So had these people gone in?
In addition, those felled trees were still there, and they would naturally be curious.
Gu An thought that he would have to stay for at least two or three days to cooperate with the investigation.
However, when he proposed to return to the sect, they immediately let him go.
Gu An was shocked.
Only later did he learn that it was the Cangmu Sect that had put pressure on Linghua Valley.
The reason was that their important disciple had disappeared just like that.
And Linghua Valley had done nothing.
They even cut off some cooperation.
Most of the pressure came from the Hall of Merit.
Gu An never dreamed that the Hall of Merit had such a role.
The list of the Hall of Merit seemed to be more useful than he had expected.
If it weren't for this, even if there was pressure, it would only be a little pressure.
It wouldn't have made Linghua Valley so diligent.
And they wouldn't have left so easily.
Mid-January.
Gu An returned to the sect.
On the way, there were no accidents, and the leaders didn't say anything more.
They didn't seem to have gained anything this time.
However, the suspects they led were at least alive.
Gu An's side had died seven.
But no one asked how they died.
No one even mentioned it.
Gu An was quite emotional; the world of cultivation was really cruel.
These people were Golden Core and Primordial Spirit cultivators.
If one day he also became such a suspect, perhaps one day he would die outside, and no one would care.
Some of the people he knew would probably be like this as well.
For example, the person living next door, who often met and greeted him, suddenly didn't come back one day, and he learned that he had gone out on a mission and finally stayed there.
It was also a sigh of the impermanence of the world.
When he returned to the sect, the flying boat went directly to the Hall of Law Enforcement.
He handed in the mission and received the reward.
He also registered that he had returned.
Leaving the Hall of Law Enforcement, Gu An walked on the road, his pace not fast.
This outing made him feel a little emotional.
At the fork in the road, he paused and finally walked towards Sky Suspension Peak.
On the way, he heard some rumors.
It was said that the Hall of Merit learned that someone on the list had disappeared in another sect and immediately joined forces with the Hall of Law Enforcement.
They put pressure on that sect together.
They even directly notified the Outer Peak and cut off some transactions.
Gu An was speechless after hearing this.
The Hall of Merit was really working hard.
With the Hall of Merit as a backer, it was indeed much safer.
However, if he used merit to exchange for cultivation techniques, he would fall from the list.
For a moment, Gu An was a little reluctant.
If he continued to stay on the list, many people in the sect would not dare to attack him casually.
But it was impossible to stay on the list without advancing.
The list was just the power of others.
And cultivation was his own power.
Especially if he advanced again, he would be Returning Void.
What kind of realm was Returning Void?
He had never seen such a disciple before.
Refining Spirit Returning Void, there should be many such disciples on the mountain, but if young people reached this realm, they would most likely be direct disciples.
If he reached this realm, he would be almost invincible in the lower mountain and the Outer Peak.
There should be no Returning Void cultivators in the lower mountain.
It was hard to say about the Outer Peak.
But even if there were, there would be very few.
Returning to his residence, Gu An saw Noodles swimming with small fish and shrimps, and then threw some peanuts in.
Seeing this, Noodles excitedly ran over to eat.
Gu An just watched, and when he saw that the other party had finished eating, he continued to throw them.
After a long time, the originally excited Noodles suddenly sank into the water.
Then it turned its belly white and foamed at the mouth.
Seeing this, Gu An returned to the room.
He had to calculate the storage treasures of Si Wuye and the others.
But before he could calculate, there was an exclamation outside, “Is Noodles dead?”
Chu Meng.
Gu An was slightly surprised; the other party had come really early.
