“I don’t know anything.”

After a moment of silence, Gu An shook his head: “Tell me what you know.”

“Then, shall I speak?” The oldest of the men finally spoke.

Shen Shanhe, looked to be in his early thirties, with a cultivation of the second level of Qi Refining.

Gu An looked at him and nodded slightly: “Tell me.”

The others immediately became excited.

Shen Shanhe looked left and right, and said cautiously: “I heard that a certain Elder's daughter is missing. It should have been caused by internal strife, and there are even rumors that she eloped with someone.”

Remember the domain name of the first website 𝚝 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Everyone sighed.

Gu An did the same.

But it was hard to say whether this Elder's daughter was his target.

The waters here are too deep, and he absolutely couldn't grasp them.

He only hoped that the contact person would arrive soon.

Returning to his residence, Gu An cooked a piece of meat for Chu Meng, then returned to his own room.

Chu Meng slept in the main hall.

“Aren’t you going to feed me?” Chu Meng looked slightly angry.

Gu An looked at the meat on the table and said: “I won’t watch, Heaven knows, Earth knows, and you know.”

Chu Meng looked puzzled.

You took so much from me, and this is your attitude?

Gu An turned and left, ignoring the cursing sounds behind him.

Entering the room, Gu An went to the training room and sat down cross-legged.

Now that his spells are full, he can try to improve one of them.

But he should first see if the Ring of Destiny has any activity.

Indeed, there was activity.

After a while, feedback from the Ring of Destiny appeared in his mind.

【Last night, Yang Shi met an outer disciple of the Cangmu Sect while selling talismans. He heard that an important figure had escaped during the sect turmoil and was likely near Lingmu Garden. If they find him and send him back, there will definitely be a great reward. He also heard that someone would come to take over the position of foreman and leader directly. In his excitement, he went to the Chen family, and after a few rounds of drinking, he told them about this and loudly scolded you, saying that you are so old, you have to retire this time, it's a pity that he didn't step on you, but he still doesn't plan to let you go.】

Gu An felt emotional in his heart.

“It’s a pity it’s not about the person outside the door.”

As for why Yang Shi hated him so much, he really had no clue.

But that was not important.

The new leader was coming, and his situation was not good.

If the other party came to find someone, after investigation, there was a certain possibility that they would find him.

“First improve the spells, and see if I can improve the Bitter Cultivation value as soon as possible tomorrow.”

The Bitter Cultivation value was not easy to improve, and it required enough logging time, possibly because the wood was not good enough.

But the trouble brought by the person outside would definitely not give him time.

“When exactly is the person taking over coming?”

Gu An felt helpless. If he had no other choice, he could only bury the person.

After that, he chose to improve the Mountain Opening Fist.

This improvement should be able to reach perfection.

After extracting the spell, Gu An felt a warm current running through his body, and a clarity arose in his mind.

All the doubts about the Mountain Opening Fist were like sparks igniting a flame, and countless inspirations manifested in his mind.

Gradually, he completely understood the operation of the Mountain Opening Fist.

He even kept punching in his mind.

What he had learned had reached its peak.

Only then did Gu An open his eyes.

The sky outside had unknowingly begun to brighten.

He lowered his head and looked at his hands, feeling a kind of explosive power.

“I wonder how powerful the Mountain Opening Fist is.”

He had not fought with anyone, and he did not know if there were any opponents at the third level of Qi Refining.

But he could not be careless. Later, he could try to learn the Hundred Steps Chasing Wind.

Walking out of the room, Chu Meng said: “Were you learning the Hundred Steps Chasing Wind last night? This spell is simple and difficult at the same time. If you are willing to help me with something, I can teach you, and also give you ten spirit stones.”

Ten spirit stones?

Gu An was a little surprised, ten spirit stones.

He could only receive one spirit stone a month in Lingmu Garden.

As for the other foremen, they only had five pieces of broken spirit stones, and ten pieces of broken spirit stones were comparable to one spirit stone.

There were more casual cultivators logging, but they didn't even have one spirit stone.

Gu An looked at her and shook his head: “This junior is not a greedy person.”

Then he turned and left.

Leaving Chu Meng looking blank.

Are there still people in this world who don’t like spirit stones?

Arriving at Lingmu Garden, Gu An continued to take an axe to “pass the time.”

It must be done as soon as possible.

He found that Yang Shi's cultivation was indeed about to break through. With his talent in making talismans, he was equivalent to having a lot of spirit stones.

Although he could win in the same realm, he couldn't stand that he was rich.

With enough spirit stones, talismans, magic weapons, and spells, stacking them up could make people with slightly higher realms run away.

Today, he no longer cared about the gazes of those people and focused on logging.

Sure enough, the value had improved.

【Spell: 12 / 50】

【Bitter Cultivation: 25 / 100】

In another three days, the spells should be full.

It was completely dark before Gu An left.

Leaving those logging casual cultivators and foremen dumbfounded.

They didn't understand what the leader had gone mad about.

The next day.

Gu An continued logging.

Making those foremen restless.

Gu An only said that he had been in a bad mood recently and didn't need to pay attention.

Only then did they feel relieved.

And he told them to relax.

For five days in a row, Gu An was logging.

Yesterday, he learned the Hundred Steps Chasing Wind, but the Bitter Cultivation value did not improve much.

It was only forty now.

But the steward of Lingmu Garden came to him. He was an outer disciple at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he was also very young, about twenty years old.

The other party sat down and never looked at him when speaking. Occasionally, when he asked questions, he didn't get a response.

It was a little uncomfortable, but he still had to keep smiling.

When he came, the steward drank tea and expressed his apology on the side. Although he maintained a condescending look, Gu An still said it was okay.

Then the steward also said that in ten days at most, someone from the outer sect would take over the position of foreman and leader here.

It was the arrangement of the sect.

Gu An smiled and said that he was embarrassing the steward, and gave him a spirit stone along the way.

Then the steward said that it was indeed a bit embarrassing, but he stated that the treatment of the leader would not be revoked for the time being, and he just needed to do a good job in Lingmu Garden.

In this way, Gu An also breathed a sigh of relief.

You must know that the one spirit stone he received as a leader was actually given to this person.

He used to make a living by collecting some oil and water from casual cultivators.

After crossing over, he only collected symbolically, and he couldn't even gather one spirit stone a month.

Fortunately, he could still sell some monster meat, which was cheap but could still earn one or two spirit stones.

They on the periphery were indeed suffering.

It was said that outer sect disciples of the sect had five spirit stones to receive a month.

That was a place that countless people yearned for, but unfortunately, they couldn't get in.

If he could get in, Gu An would have gone in long ago, and there was no need to wait until he was in his forties.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, a person in his forties wouldn't have to please a steward in his twenties.

Moreover, the other party didn't care at all. The previous cultivation technique was probably just a deliberate excuse to cheat spirit stones.

But what if he knew?

There was no way at all, and he didn't dare to turn his face.

After that, Gu An waited for the contact person every day, but the other party never came, and he didn't know why.

But the new leader was about to come, and Gu An couldn't wait any longer.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to enter the depths of Lingmu Garden, where there was a Vajra Wood that had been growing for who knows how many years.

Go and chop it, maybe it can help him improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

Although the consequences of being discovered were very serious, if he just waited like this, he might die in the hands of Yang Shi or the new leader.

After finding a suitable day, Gu An bought a new dagger in the market.

You can only bring a dagger that others can't see into the depths. If you bring an axe, it will be easily discovered.

These days, the Ring of Destiny has not moved, and the situation on Yang Shi's side can only be seen from his cultivation.

Probably in a few days, he should be promoted.

Seeing Gu An entering Lingmu Garden, the corners of Yang Shi's mouth turned up slightly.

Someone's good days are over.

Just be patient, he will soon be at the third level of Qi Refining.
