Gu An returned to the logging area while Gongsun Hai was still on his way.

His speed was considerably slower than his own.

As for whether his departure had been noticed, he wasn't sure.

But it didn't matter.

Improving his cultivation was the priority.

Besides, there was nothing of value in those two storage treasures.

The only valuable things were probably the storage treasures themselves and that iron chain.

It was a binding treasure.

With his cultivation, using this treasure against stronger opponents might give him some advantage.

Without dwelling on it, Gu An continued logging.

He didn't consider whether the deaths of those two would cause problems.

As long as he didn't admit it, who could say he did it?

Could a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator kill them?

Obviously impossible.

And would this place require an explanation like the outside world?

Obviously not.

So, in all likelihood, it would just be dropped, just like how no one investigated when people went missing in District Nine.

When people from District Seven disappeared, they couldn't investigate thoroughly either.

There was no logic here.

Some people benefited from these rules, while others suffered under them.

And the scariest thing was those people who killed without needing a reason.

In the evening, Gu An didn't bother checking the surroundings, and he didn't even pay attention when Gongsun Hai returned.

But when he went back, he saw Gongsun Hai putting on a surprised expression: "I thought you weren't coming back."

"Yeah, I thought so too," Gongsun Hai said, looking at Gu An, "Do you know what I encountered?"

Gu An looked somewhat interested and asked, "What was it?"

Gongsun Hai hesitated, then shook his head, "I encountered a beast tide, otherwise I wouldn't have survived."

"Lucky you," Gu An replied casually.

After that, they chatted intermittently.

They only separated when they reached the plaza.

Gongsun Hai immediately sought an audience with Senior Sister Huang.

"You're alright?" Senior Sister Huang was a little surprised.

"Yes, I was lucky enough to encounter a beast tide and escaped. The ones who captured me should be from District Seven," Gongsun Hai said seriously.

"Mm, District Seven has been making a lot of moves recently, be careful," Senior Sister Huang said.

Gongsun Hai nodded and then withdrew.

Senior Sister Huang lowered her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

After a moment, she sighed, "He's lying. Someone must have saved him, but who would interfere? And why? It seems time is running out."

Mid-March.

Gu An had been logging for another half month.

Today, his painstaking cultivation had reached its limit.

But he was hesitating.

Should he try to get a Golden Core cultivation method, or should he temper his current cultivation?

In addition, the second volume of the Qi Sea Heavenly罡 was almost two months away from minor completion.

These days, he had been constantly receiving information about Senior Sister Huang's Ring of Destiny.

He felt that time was running out.

These people were not weak. Even if they couldn't exert their full strength, they were not people he could casually provoke.

So advancing to the Golden Core stage was the best way.

Moreover, the longer he stayed here, the more heat accumulated in his body, making it impossible to completely resist.

He was only delaying the time by improving his cultivation and the Qi Sea Heavenly罡.

But the more he improved, the slower the accumulation became.

So one day he would not be able to withstand it.

Now, becoming a Golden Core cultivator was the first choice.

But...

He couldn't get the cultivation method.

Ask Senior Sister Huang?

Almost impossible.

Noon.

Gu An received feedback from the Ring of Destiny again.

He immediately began to check it.

[Yesterday at noon, people from District Seven found Huang Yunxue and talked about the demon beasts. The blood array was almost set up, and a full-scale attack could be launched in May, but each nest still needed some people to sacrifice. It would be inappropriate to capture them one by one, so they hoped to get full cooperation.

Huang Yunxue summoned the other two people and asked how to allocate the sacrifices in the end. The result was that each person would provide a demon beast head, so they could complete the task and go out together.

The people in District Eight were too weak and had been almost completely captured by District Seven. The last few were useless, but they found some people to go over and receive resources, so it had not been discovered.

In the end, Huang Yunxue reached a consensus with them that they would inform everyone to cooperate with District Seven in the coming days to go to the demon beast nests to find a way to break through their cultivation. At that time, the District Seven leader would enter the sacrificial formation to start the sacrifice and attack the nest demon beasts.

They were each responsible for killing the demon beasts.

Success or failure was up to them.]

Seeing the feedback, Gu An lowered his eyebrows.

"I didn't expect them to cooperate. This time it's not about capturing one or two, but everyone."

Gu An sighed in his heart, as expected, these people were all going to their deaths.

They were used if they had value, and discarded at will if they didn't.

The weak were destined to be beaten.

This was an unavoidable thing.

Not to mention in this land of exile where people were not treated as people, even in the outer sect it was like this.

"Early May."

Gu An thought for a moment and felt that he wouldn't have enough time if he just logged normally.

He wouldn't be able to complete the third tempering of the Qi Sea Heavenly罡.

In addition, he had to find Gongsun Hai and ask if he had any Golden Core cultivation methods.

If not, he would temper his Foundation Establishment cultivation immediately.

As for the future...

It was actually very simple, that was to spend more time logging.

Although this was a bit conspicuous, it was only a little over a month, so it didn't matter.

With his cultivation, if anyone came to test him, he would try to avoid them.

When logging ended that day.

Gu An found Gongsun Hai and said:

"Can't people here advance their cultivation?"

"It's very difficult, almost impossible," Gongsun Hai shook his head, carrying his axe.

"I heard you can advance once," Gu An asked.

"Yes, any further and the body can't take it."

"Has anyone advanced from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core?"

"There really is one, that's the fourth senior brother, but he fell from the Golden Core stage to Foundation Establishment, and then advanced back up."

"Then if someone at the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage wants to advance to Golden Core, is it possible?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Hai thought for a moment and said, "Impossible, they won't agree, and ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators don't have the Golden Core method.

And there are only four people in the entire District Nine who have this method, but none of them will hand it over."

Gu An nodded and sighed, "It seems there is almost no hope here."

Gongsun Hai sighed along with him and didn't speak anymore.

After returning, Gu An didn't hesitate at all, extracted his painstaking cultivation, and began to temper his Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Since he couldn't get it, then he wouldn't try to get it.

So as not to startle the snake.

After tempering, Gu An felt that his innate qi was more majestic.

His cultivation had indeed improved, and every inch of his skin seemed to have been washed again and again.

Completing Foundation Establishment was equivalent to every part of the body being tempered and washed.

Now it was like washing it a second time.

Although nothing was washed out, his bones became more resilient.

It was also a good thing.

Afterwards, Gu An told Gongsun Hai about the logging, he wanted to log there at night as well, hoping Senior Sister Huang could give him more opportunities.

Simply put, he wanted more task time, so he could leave as soon as possible.

Senior Sister Huang was a little surprised, but still agreed.

She also told him about the dangers of the forest, and if he was afraid, he could come back. Gongsun Hai understood, but didn't say anything.

However, a few days later, everyone heard the news that they were going to encircle and suppress demon beasts in May, and they would get a lot of spiritual medicines to advance their cultivation.

Now everyone looked at Gu An again and felt that he must have gotten the news in advance and started working hard.

How could this allow others to sleep soundly?

For a time, many people participated in nighttime logging.
