#279 - I really hope that the Fire Phoenix Clan will come to rule our sect.
Gu An was slightly surprised.
It had only been about two months, how could he be back already?
The Fire Phoenix Graveyard had only been open for a short time. Logically, as a Golden Core cultivator, Chen Changfeng should be able to enter.
That would require a relatively long time.
Several months, or even years, were possible.
The existence of a secret realm is usually very long.
Especially a secret realm with many treasures that are difficult to obtain.
Therefore, it would be normal for Chen Changfeng not to return for three to five years.
The other two couldn't enter and didn't return, but the one who could enter came back.
Gu An didn't know what to say. If he had known that Chen Changfeng no longer had the Eight Tone Seal, while the other two did.
After all, Chen Changfeng had no value and was a unique genius.
Letting him go made more sense.
The other two were worth some spirit stones, so letting them go like that would be a pity.
No one should redeem Chen Changfeng, after all, the cultivation techniques were fake, who would value him?
Furthermore, he couldn't teach others or write down spells and techniques because they were all fake.
Instead, they would be harmful.
As for logging, he had already started logging, so he wasn't needed.
Unless he was sent to the night lumberyard, for twenty or thirty spirit stones a month...
It really wasn't necessary.
He also had to prevent accidents.
Soon, Gu An arrived at Courtyard One.
In the courtyard, Chen Changfeng was lying on the ground, covered in blood.
His heart meridian seemed to be shattered.
He looked like he could die at any moment.
Shu Ci and the others stood in place, at a loss.
Healing spells or healing talismans had been used, but to no avail.
Gu An stood beside him, feeling that the other's eyes were open, and he also saw Gu An.
"How did he get back?" Gu An asked curiously.
"He said he ran to the mountain gate himself and then reported the name of a senior brother from Courtyard One.
They came back to report, and we went out to pick him up," Pang Wen said seriously, "He was still standing when we went out, but he fell down after seeing us.
He seemed to be holding on by a thread."
Gu An was quite moved, the other party's mind was really strong.
After hesitating, Gu An took out a pill and said, "Let him take it."
This was a healing pill he had found in a storage treasure.
It was quite valuable.
It's just that Gu An couldn't sell it, so he kept it for later, perhaps it would be useful in the future.
After all, it was for saving lives.
Now it was actually being used in this place.
Sure enough, Chen Changfeng was a money-loser.
After taking the pill, Chen Changfeng's energy and blood stabilized, and his mind was consolidated.
After the others left, he sat up with difficulty and looked at Gu An, and said after a long silence: "Warden, why, why did you save me?"
"Warden?" Gu An sat on the side, intending to get himself a cup of tea, but found that there was no tea here, it seemed that he had to let Pang Wen and the others prepare some.
Chu Meng, as his superior, drank tea every day.
As their superior, it was reasonable for him to drink tea, right?
After all, he was learning from Chu Meng.
Was this how corruption came about?
Then he looked at Chen Changfeng, and then said: "It's even more unpleasant than Headmaster."
Chen Changfeng coughed, slightly weakly said:
"This place really is a prison."
Gu An didn't care and said:
"Whatever, rest for a while, when your injuries are almost healed, I'll let Pang Wen send you away.
After all, the Fire Phoenix Graveyard doesn't seem to be closed yet, you still have to go and wander around."
Chen Changfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "Headmaster still hasn't answered me, why did you save me."
He even changed it to Headmaster.
Gu An looked at him, but didn't have any special thoughts, he just said: "You are a genius, it would be a pity if you died here."
"Just like that?" Chen Changfeng was a little unbelievable.
"Dying here will affect my reputation," Gu An replied.
What reputation did he have, Gu An didn't know,
Since the other party wanted a reason, he would just give one.
As for why he saved him, the real reason was probably just because he was recently well-off, and he had also felt the emotional entanglement between Zuo Youyan and Zuo's mother.
This made his mind unstable and caused a slight fluctuation.
But in the final analysis, it was still because he was rich, after all, it was someone else's pill, so he didn't feel bad about feeding it.
Chen Changfeng looked at Gu An and remained silent for a long time before saying: "I don't plan to go out, I want to continue staying in prison." Gu An shook his head: "It's not really possible, the prison is full, you can't live in it."
"I think I can live in it," Chen Changfeng said.
Gu An still shook his head.
However, as he shook his head, an unusually thick scripture was thrown in front of him.
The four big characters 'Nirvana Sutra' were written on it.
This made Gu An stunned.
"Can I live here like this?" Chen Changfeng asked.
Gu An looked at the other party with some astonishment.
"Not enough?" Chen Changfeng said, and then put a spirit egg in front of Gu An, and continued: "Is it enough to add this?"
Gu An felt the extraordinary nature of the spirit egg and was somewhat shocked.
He was sure that the person in front of him was not normal.
He had already obtained these things, what was he doing back?
With these things, wouldn't it be better to fly away and be careful, in the future he would be destined to become a powerful person.
Gu An looked at Chen Changfeng and finally asked: "You have already obtained these things, what are you doing back here?"
"Didn't you ask me to get them? Shouldn't I bring them back after I get them?" Chen Changfeng asked back.
Gu An:
Was this person so stubborn?
"How did you get them?" Gu An asked.
"I just followed the method you said, and then went all the way in, and then I got it," Chen Changfeng truthfully said: "I encountered some mechanisms in the process, and the tombstones in the tomb resisted when I took the things, and then I was injured.
But I still persisted until I came back.
I thought you would take the things and throw me out.
I didn't expect you to save me.
I am very touched, I decided not to leave.
Also, I was promoted to Yuanshen when I came out.
It seems that there are still things in the tombstone that I absorbed, and my cultivation has improved very quickly.
Can I go down and live now?"
"Yes, let Pang Wen take you down, tell him which room you want to go to," Gu An replied.
How else could he answer.
This result exceeded his expectations.
He had never thought of getting these two things.
Normally, wouldn't everyone take the things and leave?
After asking some questions, Gu An left.
Now, he had to deal with these two things first.
A common man is innocent, but possessing jade becomes a crime.
If people knew that these two things were on him, he was afraid that he would be finished.
How could a mid-Golden Core cultivator like him have such things?
Chen Changfeng said that no one should have seen him at the last moment, but he had encountered some people in the process.
He didn't know if they would guess it.
Gu An returned to his residence.
He wanted to contact Chu Meng to come over.
After hesitating, Gu An came to Sky Suspension Peak.
There was a certain possibility that he would be discovered if he went over, but there was someone who could.
Gu An appeared by the lake at the residence, and Noodles quickly swam over.
Gu An looked at him and said, "Will I be noticed if I go out?"
Noodles shook his head.
"Go find someone," Gu An added.
Noodles nodded.
"Go find Chu Meng," Gu An said the name.
The originally nodding Noodles suddenly froze in place.
Then it slowly sank into the water.
He should be scared.
Gu An looked at the surface of the water and said, "Next time she feeds you, I won't open my mouth."
As soon as he finished speaking, with a whoosh, Noodles jumped out of the water.
Gu An threw a peanut over, and Noodles ate it in one bite.
Quickly disappeared into the water.
Disappeared without a trace.
Noodles' hiding ability is still very strong.
That night, Chu Meng came.
Gu An was sitting in the hall reading a book when he heard footsteps.
Then the door was pushed open.
In the moonlight, Chu Meng, wearing a light pink fairy dress, walked in, then frowned: "Didn't you light the lamp?"
"I can see." Gu An pointed to the book.
It was the Three Styles of Pingqiu.
"Your eyesight is really good; you'll go blind sooner or later." Chu Meng snapped her fingers casually.
Then, arrays of lights lit up throughout Gu An's room.
Soft and bright, like daylight.
"How is it? I helped you modify it last time. Which superior is so thoughtful? Weren't you moved to tears?" Chu Meng sat opposite Gu An and asked.
Gu An looked at the formation and was indeed a little surprised.
He said with emotion: "Thank you, Senior."
He doesn't come back often, so he didn't know there were such big changes here.
For him, it's all the same wherever he is.
Whether it's Peak Beyond Peaks or Sky Hanging Peak.
It's all just for convenience.
No place makes him feel nostalgic.
If it weren't for Noodles and the Blood Demon God Lord being here, he wouldn't even come back.
"Your spirit pet is very good at hiding; it even hid over at my place." Chu Meng took out peanuts and some pastries and placed them on the table, saying: "My maid was just about to make something for me to eat, and you called it to find me. Are you eyeing my food?"
Gu An picked up the things and tried them, and found that they were made by the First Maid.
The taste was indeed good.
Then he went straight to the point: "Calling Senior over is for a mission."
"Mission?" Chu Meng was a little stunned.
She didn't seem to be able to figure out what missions there were recently.
"The Fire Phoenix Clan's mission." Gu An reminded her.
"Didn't that just start? Did it fail already?" Chu Meng ate peanuts, slightly curious:
"If it failed so quickly and you told me, I'd feel bad if I didn't make things difficult for you, with you being so proactive."
Gu An shook his head slightly, then took out the heavy scripture like a stone.
Then he took out the Fire Phoenix Spirit Egg.
And placed it with the food.
Chu Meng opened her mouth to put a peanut into her mouth, but when she saw the things, the peanut fell from her hand.
Gently tapped the table.
Her mouth was open and hadn't closed.
Gu An ate the food and didn't say much.
After a moment.
Chu Meng recovered, picked up the peanut and continued to put it in her mouth, saying: "Where did you get it?"
"Brought back by a prisoner from the First Institute." Gu An replied.
"Why did he bring it back to you?" Chu Meng asked again.
Gu An shook his head: "I don't know, maybe there's something wrong with his brain."
Chu Meng nodded in agreement.
"Did you look at the thing?" Chu Meng asked again.
Gu An shook his head: "No, I didn't dare to look."
"You're so old, and you've become timid?" Chu Meng didn't believe it.
"This thing has a problem, which is that it's uncertain whether anyone has discovered that the thing was brought back by a prisoner from the First Institute." Gu An said.
Hearing this, Chu Meng nodded.
"You're worried someone will make trouble for you?" Chu Meng asked.
Gu An nodded, truthfully saying: "Yes, and if they make trouble for me this time, I'm afraid it won't just be the sect,
But more people from outside."
"There's some truth to that." Chu Meng ate, saying: "I'll hand it in later, and the assessment will come down soon. You can think about what you want. It looks like it's real.
You've made a great contribution in this whole thing."
As she spoke, Chu Meng took the things away.
This time she left very quickly.
She didn't mention making things difficult for him.
Gu An sighed.
Originally, his situation in the sect was alright; it wasn't as precarious as before.
Danger could appear everywhere.
Now, although he's been drawn into the vortex, he has some ability to protect himself.
Behind the vortex, there's the Peak Lord to protect him, and within the sect, his merits are high enough.
Which makes him safer.
He didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
He had to be worried again.
He clearly didn't have such ambition, but such treasures insisted on coming to join in the fun.
Early August.
In the main hall of the Cangmu Sect, Qu Youdao and the others gathered once again.
At the beginning of each month, they would review the situation of the six institutes.
"The First Institute has started to have income, stably handing in one thousand spirit stones a month. They should be keeping about three thousand for themselves. The revenue is good." Yan Ruxue said with a smile.
Situ Baichuan said: "Returning Void and Primordial Spirit cultivators are all working for him, working themselves to death, for three to four thousand spirit stones a month.
These Primordial Spirit and Returning Void cultivators are really worthless."
"You can't say it like that. Three to four thousand a month is thirty to forty thousand a year. That's not bad.
Earning thirty to forty thousand is also very difficult.
The person in charge of the First Institute, at Peak Beyond Peaks, has decent resources. He only earns two to three thousand a year.
Ten times more." Qu Youdao laughed heartily.
"The Second Institute is still amazing. They actually used some channels to resell these people, each one at a high price.
A Golden Core cultivator alone can earn more than the First Institute in a year.
Handing in one-tenth, the rest is theirs.
They're probably rich all of a sudden." Situ Baichuan said with emotion: "Not only the Second Institute, but the Third and Fourth Institutes, it's either puppets or finding people to exchange. Some of the Fifth and Sixth Institutes are even more amazing; they directly found their enemies and developed long-term businesses.
Even a price for life, and forcing people to serve others. Our sect just doesn't have the name of a demonic sect,
If these things were spread out, it would have to be a demonic sect.
Looking at it this way, the sect initially limited them."
"When did the sect develop into this?" Qu Youdao said with emotion:
"The Sect Master told us to be low-key for three hundred years. Who's been managing the sect?"
"Haven't you been managing it?" Situ Baichuan asked.
"Huh? Do I need to manage it? The Sect Master didn't say anything." Qu Youdao said.
Yan Ruxue looked at him seriously: "Aren't you the head of the six peaks?"
"Isn't there the Enforcement Hall and the Merit Hall? Aren't they managing it?
Aren't they the six peaks, equivalent to the six peaks? Shouldn't it be them?" Qu Youdao asked back.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
The compassionate fairy sighed:
"So, you're all ignoring the sect. Those disciples are too pitiful; they've never felt the care of the sect."
Qu Youdao rolled his eyes:
"Let's move on. It's not a big deal. Mature sects already have their own rules.
Hasn't it been fine all these years?
As it stands, it's still alright. Beating those nobodies is like playing a game.
Speaking of which, it's better to pay attention to the Fire Phoenix Clan. Their tombs have been dug up.
The remaining members of the clan are probably coming to Dongdao Ancient Province. Do we want to do a job? We don't seem to have a sect-protecting divine beast."
Situ Baichuan looked at the person above and said: "Did the Sect Master agree?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"Forget it, I won't participate." Qu Youdao shook his head and waved his hand: "It would be great if they could take the initiative to attack us. I heard that their clan is very powerful, tyrannical and domineering.
Coming here, wanting to conscript us to work for them, and even forcing it. It would be great if it could be like this.
The Sect Master wouldn't say anything if we resisted, right?"
