#308 - This is forcing me
#308 - This is forcing me
Gu An scanned everyone around him.
Besides that Lai Chang, no one else seemed to have ulterior motives.
At least, none were apparent at the moment.
Whether ordinary people or Qi Refining cultivators,
no one seemed to be concealing their cultivation.
But he couldn't let his guard down.
It was possible he simply couldn't detect them.
Besides, a perfected Nascent Soul cultivator hiding as a Qi Refining cultivator was a bit much.
How many realms was that?
It seemed he was far inferior to the other party.
However, under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be like this.
But he still needed to learn.
It was just that he was currently in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and wanting to cross two major realms was really difficult.
Surpassing Void Refinement would take a long time.
Normally speaking, it would take five or six years.
Hopefully, the forest here could shorten that time.
Afterward, Gu An picked up his axe and continued logging.
One spiritual tree after another fell.
Finally, Gu An felt the warm current again.
This time, the progress was two zhang further than yesterday.
He was starting to go deeper.
Gu An looked around; this spiritual forest stretched far inside.
And he didn't know how big it was.
No wonder the Azurewood Sect could casually use logging for tempering; the resources were too abundant.
Who wouldn't want to skim some profit if they had the chance?
Five days later.
The progress slowed down.
Originally, they could clear twelve or thirteen zhang a day, but now it was only six zhang.
This kind of progress made Lu Yan's scalp tingle, and she even suspected that there was a problem with her command.
When she looked at Gu An, she felt a little unnatural.
After all, she had been in charge of land reclamation these days.
When others looked at her, they were somewhat dissatisfied.
When the day ended, Gu An was in a good mood.
His spells were full.
He could improve them when he got back.
"Team leader," Lu Yan walked over.
She lowered her head, not knowing how to start.
Gu An naturally knew that the progress was slow.
After all, he was not far away.
But he glanced at it and found that it wasn't a problem with the command.
Nor was it that the people at the front were slacking off.
Instead, the fog had become thicker and recovered faster. "It's a problem with the fog; just keep watching the front," Gu An casually replied.
"If it's not ten zhang, we might be punished," Lu Yan said.
"You'll be punished too?" Gu An asked, looking at the three of them.
"We'll naturally be punished less," the enchanting Yao Caixuan said.
Hearing this, Gu An said indifferently, "Then let's just do as usual; I'll talk about it when the punishment comes.
Besides, what if everyone else is making the same progress?"
Hearing this, everyone thought so too.
If everyone was like this, then it wasn't their problem.
It was just that after going out, they found that everyone else had cleared ten or so zhang.
Only they had cleared six zhang.
The gap was too big.
Gu An wasn't surprised.
Instead, he told them to go back first and think about how to deal with it.
As for Gu An, after returning to his residence, he took out a formation plate.
He had bought some things this time.
It was for safe cultivation.
Similarly, Hongdou, who was already in the early stage of Nascent Soul, was taken out by him.
With a gentle wave, four red-armored soldiers guarded the side.
Preventing someone from suddenly attacking.
His expenses weren't too high.
It was natural to spend some for his own safety.
He still had 210,000 now.
He wondered if he could find more spirit stones here.
After sitting down, Gu An began to think about what spells to improve.
Currently, what needed to be improved were probably the Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper, Drawing the Earth as a Prison, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Chapter, and the Twelve Stars of Age and Time. Now, finding small spells from the Reincarnation lineage could also be improved a bit.
But it wasn't urgent.
With the second star of the Twelve Stars of Age and Time, it was difficult to maintain, and the third star would naturally be even more difficult.
However, the sealing range of the first and second stars wasn't very large. If he needed to seal a large area in the future, he would have to cultivate the third star.
In addition, the things that the third star could seal seemed to be quite extensive.
The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Chapter could continue to be improved. He had almost mastered the first two emotions and could learn the third.
But these were not the spells that would help him improve his cultivation.
The Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper was.
In addition, he had to determine whether the fifth volume could continue to be cultivated.
According to Hua Jiyang, if he made a mistake in the third volume, he made a mistake.
Even if the fourth volume was mastered, it could never be changed.
So even the creator didn't learn the ideal Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper.
He didn't plant a seed in the Qi Sea.
And he, by chance, planted a seed.
Now the seed had also brought great benefits.
Not to mention other things, the Xuanhuang Qi and the Azure Lotus Xuanhuang Scripture had given him enough help.
The former could perfectly hide his power and cultivation. As long as he controlled some details, it would not be easy to discover his hidden cultivation.
The latter was even more needless to say. The spiritual energy had become thick, and the Nascent Soul had become more solid and heavy.
In the past, when facing some geniuses who cultivated powerful techniques, his foundation would definitely be inferior to them.
Now, he was afraid that he would surpass them.
Without borrowing the Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper, he would still be safe in the same realm.
Once he used the Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper, the range of strength improvement would be very large.
The early stages of each realm all relied on the Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper.
But in the later stages, the Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper would hold him back.
Hopefully, this time it wouldn't.
After all, hard cultivation was too rare.
Afterward, Gu An stopped thinking and began to extract the spell to improve the Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper.
He had to determine whether the original Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper could continue to be cultivated.
Afterward, Gu An fell into a dream.
In the dream, he began to cultivate.
Cultivating the Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper was the same as usual; there was nothing special about it. He just kept accumulating.
It was just that the speed of accumulation was too slow.
A year passed, and there was almost no progress.
Ten years passed, and there was some progress.
Because the seed was planted, the speed of accumulation increased exponentially.
Twenty years, thirty years, fifty years.
One hundred years.
Gu An felt that he was still far from completing this accumulation.
One hundred and fifty years.
Two hundred years.
Two hundred and fifty years.
At this time, Gu An realized that the Qi Sea was about to be filled.
Two hundred and sixty years.
Gu An finally felt that the Qi Sea was full.
Everything went smoothly.
At this time, Gu An opened his eyes.
He could feel that the Qi Sea was full. As long as he released the Gang Qi, he could complete the first layer of the fifth volume.
"There were no problems. It seems that the fifth volume can also be cultivated, but the time required seems to be a bit long."
"Is it because of the Xuanhuang Qi?"
Gu An felt that his Gang Qi was much thicker than before. It would indeed take a long time to accumulate it. He was very curious, could normal people really cultivate the Qi Sea Heavenly Dipper?
The time it took was too long. If he wanted to cultivate this, it would be difficult to improve his cultivation at the same time.
The lifespan of the human race was simply not enough.
Especially since the time required for the last 80% would increase more and more.
He could cultivate it.
But if there was no panel, then wanting to cultivate it would be almost impossible.
Unless there was such a person.
He had an extremely long time to squander at will.
Or perhaps this was not for humans to cultivate at all.
Only certain demon races could cultivate it.
The lifespan of ordinary demon races was probably not enough.
Then Gu An operated the second star of the Twelve Stars of Age and Time, Dan Kuo.
Immediately afterward, a pitch-black boulder fell from it.
This was a heavy stone that Gu An bought. It could absorb power and was extremely heavy.
And it could simply store power.
If it was full of absorption, he could try to detonate it.
The price was not cheap.
Fortunately, he was rich enough.
However, this thing could not be put into ordinary storage treasures.
It required a high-level storage treasure.
So Gu An could only put it in the second star.
Peak Beyond Peaks also had a similar one, but it had been scrapped.
Gu An stood in front of the boulder, then slapped it.
It was very light.
But there was a muffled sound.
Then the boulder shook.
Finally, it didn't move a bit.
Only a palm print was left on it.
With that, Gu An felt his Qi Sea and discovered that new Astral Qi had appeared.
The Xuanhuang Qi also increased.
And the original solid Astral Qi, like a glacier, became scorching hot, as if it was about to evaporate the entire Qi Sea.
As his realm improves, it might all evaporate.
Before Gu An could feel it more, the bell rang outside.
It was time to start the reclamation.
In the following days, Gu An's progress here became slower and slower.
Five zhang, three zhang.
Even one day only had a progress of one zhang.
But everyone was not idle, but constantly reinforcing the surrounding mist spiritual energy.
This place seemed to be broken by the mist spiritual energy at any time.
At first, Lü Yan and others were quite worried, but they found that they might be approaching some special spiritual wood.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.
Moreover, people in other directions also knew about the situation here.
Some people even offered to exchange with Gu An.
It's just that Gu An couldn't agree, and the person in charge would not approve it.
It was because Lü Yan took out some token, so that other people could no longer exchange.
In addition to this, Gu An found that among those ordinary people, there were a few new faces.
This made Gu An quite worried.
Lü Yan seemed eager to make contributions, and didn't know that this team was different from before.
People's hearts were already chaotic, and the team was not easy to lead.
In fact, he didn't care whether he made contributions or not.
“Team leader, these people will obviously target us. You are the strongest among us. You need to let everyone see your determination.” Lü Yan said, looking at Gu An.
Gu An looked at the person in front of him and didn't know what to say for a while.
Having such a subordinate who is enthusiastic about making contributions made him quite uncomfortable.
In the end, he could only nod.
After all, it was impossible to exchange with others.
The other two people were also quite excited.
Once they discovered the core spiritual tree, they would be able to reap many rewards.
End of September.
The progress of Gu An's team has been very slow.
He could feel that the trees here were getting thicker and thicker.
The warm current obtained from logging became more.
Sometimes there were two times a day, sometimes once.
However, most of them were spells.
Two or three warm currents in two days, and forty-five warm currents in a month.
Among them, about thirty were spells.
However, I don't know if I can log for another month.
I can't relax either.
It's just that today, when Gu An was still logging, he suddenly felt the vibration of the mist.
He looked over immediately.
At the same time, a group of demon beasts like hungry wolves suddenly jumped out and began to attack the ordinary people in front.
Roar!
With a roar, the hungry wolf pounced on the ordinary person, and a bite would definitely swallow one person. At this time, Lü Yan exclaimed, she was a little surprised, why didn't she find it in the first time?
Slack off.
It was too late to do anything now, unless he used all his strength.
But that was absolutely impossible.
But she still moved, if she couldn't save the first one, then at least reduce the casualties.
Looking at the hungry wolf opening its bloody mouth, a man in his early twenties was so frightened that he froze in place, unable to react at all.
But he still screamed subconsciously.
Bang!
At the moment when everyone thought that the hungry wolf was about to bite off half of the other party's body.
A long knife came whistling.
With a puff sound.
The knife spun a few times in the air, and pierced directly into the head of the hungry wolf without deviation.
The huge force even made the hungry wolf fly out.
At this time, Gu An had already come to the man's side, reached out and grabbed the other party, and threw him back.
“What are you doing in a daze?” Gu An looked at Lü Yan and the others.
The three of them woke up instantly and began to take action.
After a while, the hungry wolf was killed.
This was a black wolf of the Golden Core level.
But it was severely damaged by Gu An, so Lü Yan and the others could take action.
For a time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As for that ordinary person, he was even more frightened and pale, and his mind was in a mess.
“Team leader, your knife.” The charming Yao Caixuan sent the knife to Gu An.
Regarding this, Gu An didn't say much else, but put away the knife and looked at the mist and said: “Be more vigilant.”
“Yes.” The others nodded.
Afterwards, Gu An looked at the frightened person and said: “Can you continue?”
The other party was slightly dazed.
Seeing this, Gu An didn't ask any more questions, but said: “Go back and rest.”
In this state now, it is impossible to do anything if you stay.
However, Gu An glanced at the black wolf and frowned.
There were traces of runes on it.
Very weak, but it can't escape his current gaze.
After that, demon beasts began to attack them again.
However, Lü Yan and others had already become vigilant, so Gu An had not taken action all the time.
But it was too frequent, making many people unable to concentrate anymore.
Mistakes were made frequently.
The progress almost stagnated.
And when they relaxed, the demon beasts would attack again.
Not only in one direction, but in multiple directions.
Gu An looked at each demon beast, and there were various traces.
In other words, there was more than one person attacking them.
But how did they determine the location?
Gu An instantly thought of the new faces that had come out.
I just didn't ask.
He still wanted to continue logging.
It was a pity that demon beasts would appear as soon as he logged.
After a day, he didn't even get a warm current.
This....
Why force yourself?
Is it because I don't change positions?
That's what the person in charge doesn't allow.
I have agreed.
Now that I can't get my position, I plan to destroy this place?
Why not destroy the person in charge?
Looking at the sky that was gradually darkening, Gu An sighed and said:
“What is today's progress?”
For a time, everyone was silent.
Finally, Lü Yan opened her mouth: “Less than one zhang.”
“Let's go.” Gu An took the lead and walked out.
“Team leader, the situation is not normal.” Lü Yan still discovered some clues: “Someone is targeting us.
Gu An looked at the other party calmly and said: “Yes.”
Lü Yan opened her mouth, but said nothing in the end.
She lowered her eyebrows, her face gloomy.
She recalled the previous situation and decided to ask them about it.
In any case, they should be taught a lesson.
This time the credit must be hers.
It is impossible to count on the team leader.
The late stage of the Golden Core is根本 unable to deal with those people.
He can barely protect himself.
After going out, Gu An saw some people who had already come out.
Some Gu An had seen, some Gu An had never seen.
At this time, a woman with charming pink light in her eyes looked at Gu An and said: “Team leader Gu, what is the progress today? No one was lost, right? I heard the movement in the mist.
Everyone said to give me the third direction, in case one day my life is gone.”
Gu An looked at the other party and nodded slightly: “Senior sister can find the person in charge, I agree.”
“Junior brother, go ahead, kneel down and kowtow, maybe the person in charge will agree.” The woman looked at Gu An,
Said: “Junior brother is not young anymore, you have to think about it carefully.
After all, going to the person in charge is kneeling down in private.
Otherwise, you may have to kneel down publicly in the future.”
Gu An didn't respond.
Before the other party left, she suddenly stopped and looked at Gu An and smiled: “I heard that junior brother has offended many people, and I don't know if anyone will know where junior brother is and take revenge.”
Saying that, the other party walked away with a smile.
Gu An reported the progress and returned to his residence.
He sighed heavily, delaying for a day, could it be that he would continue to delay?
As soon as it got dark, Gu An didn't wait for midnight to arrive, and walked out.
