When it was time to stop logging, Gu An couldn't bear to leave, as it had been a long time since he had logged.
So, he forgot about the time for a while.
When he came back to his senses, it was already late at night.
Only then did he leave the Blood God Wood forest, placing his axe on a pile of stones to let the power be absorbed.
Sure enough, it gained some brightness.
There are no restrictions on logging here, it really is a good place.
There wasn't much progress today.
In one day and one night, he only felt two warm currents.
One from a technique, one from bitter cultivation.
At this rate, it seems that it will take at least three months to advance.
And the technique advancement is faster, one or two months is enough.
But wanting to perfect the Qi Sea Heavenly罡, it's hard to say how long that will take, after all, it will become increasingly difficult to obtain warm currents.
Returning to the courtyard, he saw Song Feng drinking tea, with two other people beside him.
They were all looking at him.
From afar, Gu An greeted them simply in the moonlight, then turned and returned to his room in the corner.
Song Feng and the others didn't disturb him.
After resting for a night, Gu An tried his best to adjust his state.
The side effects of the Blood God Wood are too great, even after dawn he couldn't fully recover.
But it wasn't a problem.
As soon as it was faintly light, Gu An got up.
This time, when he went to get the axe, he saw two people from the Second Team.
They were also quite surprised to see Gu An.
But they still politely greeted him, these two were Foundation Establishment Completion.
While Gu An was in the early stage of Golden Core.
So they naturally needed to pay their respects.
Gu An nodded in response.
Then he picked up his axe and headed to the Blood God Wood.
Logging with all his strength.
At noon, he felt the warm current.
[Bitter Cultivation: 2 / 100]
Without stopping, he continued logging.
A little bit of warm current still gathered.
At night.
Finally, another warm current appeared.
[Technique: 2 / 50]
The progress wasn't fast, but Gu An felt happy.
Now he has Golden Core cultivation, and the second volume of Qi Sea Heavenly罡 has been completed.
Slow is inevitable.
Two points a day is enough.
This time he logged until midnight again.
He let the stones absorb the energy before returning to his residence.
This time when he came back, he still saw Song Feng and the others.
But none of them came over to talk to him.
In the following days, Gu An found that he encountered more and more people, all from the Second Team.
At first, they were quite polite, but later, they seemed to know his background, and their eyes became playful.
In secret, Gu An vaguely heard them say, 'Isn't he supposed to be good at wielding the big saber? Why is he logging here? It's true that meeting him is not as good as hearing about him.'
Not only that, but some people were also secretly betting on how long he could live.
Mid-July.
Gu An's face was bloodless, and his Qi and blood were severely depleted.
He felt several years older.
When Song Feng and the others saw it, they were all shocked.
These days, they had been watching Gu An logging.
Leaving in the morning, returning late at night.
Over and over again.
He seemed to be a woodcutter without any emotions.
"Head, is this going to work?" Duanmu Qingping asked.
"I don't know, but why does he keep logging?" Song Feng asked, puzzled.
"How about we change his task? I found that we have completed our logging quota for this month," Cao Yuanfei said.
"What will he do every day if we end his logging?" Song Feng was even more puzzled.
The others felt the same way.
The stones of the First Team lit up, Gu An knew.
But continuing to log felt like there was no good reason.
So, during the logging period, he found the people from the Second Team.
"Senior Brother, is there anything you need?" A Foundation Establishment Completion man asked cautiously.
Wei Wei, Foundation Establishment Completion, looked about thirty years old.
He was slightly short, but looked very shrewd.
He was quite nervous at this time.
Although he had secretly spoken ill of the person in front of him, and looked down on him, thinking that he would die sooner or later.
But facing the other party directly, he didn't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Saying it in private is one thing, but saying it openly would be foolish.
And he wasn't a fool.
"How is the logging quota allocated in your Second Team?" Gu An asked.
Hearing this, Wei Wei immediately replied:
"Our Second Team has ten people, the first five are strong, and the last five are average, so the logging is basically done by the five of us."
"Five people?" Gu An pondered for a moment and said:
"At your speed, it will take quite a few days for five people."
"Yes." Wei Wei said helplessly: "But we have to log."
"Have you ever thought about finding someone to log?" Gu An asked.
The other party was a little puzzled.
Gu An didn't wait for the other party to understand, and directly said: "Fifty spirit stones, I'll help you log."
As he said that, he took out the axe that had accumulated a lot of energy.
Wei Wei was a little caught off guard, he had never thought of such a thing.
But fifty spirit stones, for five people, although not a small amount, it was not unacceptable.
Especially since there were two Golden Core experts among them, who didn't want to be delayed.
They should be more willing to spend spirit stones to find someone to log.
"Senior Brother, wait for me for a moment." Wei Wei immediately said.
In the afternoon, the other party brought good news.
Saying that according to the amount, reaching one-fifth would give ten spirit stones.
Gu An readily agreed.
After that, it was logging day and night.
And this transaction was known to Song Feng and the others at the end of the month.
For a time, they were a little dazed, how much did the other party like logging?
Normal people would be eager to have more cultivation time, but the other party was good, except for logging, he was collecting spirit stones for logging.
Is such a person really the decisive and ruthless person in the inner sect rumors?
"Senior Brother, it's almost August, the date agreed with Qingcheng Sect is coming," Duanmu Qingping said.
Song Feng was silent for a while, and said:
"This time, Junior Brother Cao will go to another sect with me, you take Gu An there, and see what they want."
"This...." Duanmu Qingping said helplessly: "Junior Brother Gu is not familiar with this, is he?"
"How will he become familiar if he doesn't go?" Song Feng thought for a moment and said:
"If you are willing to go to the negotiation place alone, that's fine too."
"Uh, then I'll still take Junior Brother Gu there, he's at least a Golden Core, and with two Golden Cores, the other party won't be too presumptuous," Duanmu Qingping said.
That evening.
Gu An was summoned back, saying there was a mission.
Regarding the quality of the spirit wood from Qingcheng Sect.
After a brief understanding, Gu An came to a conclusion: "What does this have to do with us?"
"They said that our spirit wood was contaminated with the scent that demon beasts like during logging, so it attracted demon beasts.
In addition, major customers always like to find fault, and they don't want to bear this loss, they probably hope that we will bear some of it and give them some profit." Duanmu Qingping said. Gu An originally wanted to ask more questions, but he thought that the other party wouldn't agree to a small compensation, and the outer peak wouldn't agree to a large compensation.
So they let these people go to negotiate, no matter what, they had to get the other party to let go and resolve everything smoothly.
This job is not easy to do.
Because they have to deal with both sides.
It's better to log.
"I understand." Gu An nodded.
"Then depart with Junior Sister Duanmu the day after tomorrow," Song Feng said.
Hearing this, Gu An bowed to Duanmu Qingping: "I'll have to trouble Senior Sister later."
August 2nd.
Gu An followed Duanmu Qingping and flew out of the outer peak on a sword.
