Chapter 741 - 448: Am I About to Become Immortal? Who Set Me Up
Near the Dao Sect.
Gu An used an Array to retrieve the items.
There’s no denying that the Hall Master’s Teleportation Array is truly convenient.
If you lived near a Daoist Orthodox Sect, it would be even more convenient.
"I wonder when this Array will expand to the Cangmu Sect."
Gu An was quite introspective.
Cangmu Sect is too remote, at the foot of the western mountains.
Even with various Teleportation Arrays, it takes half a month to reach.
At the cost of over ten thousand Spirit Stones.
If one were to resort to Sword Flight, it would probably take at least half a year.
Looking at the acquired items, Gu An handed them to Chu Meng for inspection.
Identifying authenticity requires a professional.
Gu An certainly was not that person.
As for Chu Meng, his knowledge was too ordinary.
Especially when facing a Divine Monarch, none of which were easy to deal with.
Chu Meng carefully examined it before tossing it back to Gu An: "The Essence Blood is real, the Dragon Remains are real too, but they’re useless."
"Useless?" Gu An was somewhat surprised.
Chu Meng nodded, and said, "Yes, can you use it?"
Gu An pondered slightly and said, "If I integrate it into my body, will my physical form become stronger?"
"Refining Dragon Remains is quite troublesome, requiring a lot of time, and also True Dragon Essence Blood for refining.
Two drops are not enough.
Once you use it, you’ll have to seek more Essence Blood from them," Chu Meng said, bringing out some peanuts.
Hearing this, Gu An was somewhat stunned, no wonder they were so generous.
It turns out there’s a consumable involved.
"Then what’s the use of having these?" Gu An asked.
"It’s for specific use," Chu Meng pinched the peanuts and said, "For example, giving the True Dragon Skeleton to a Demon Beast can allow it to refine with its Essence Blood, although the process is long, it enhances its cultivation.
Or directly use it to create a Magic Treasure, Attack Type Magic Treasures are good, like forging a blade, or a sword, spear, longbow, and so on.
True Dragon Essence Blood can be used to create talismans, Arrays, or at least for Alchemy, enhancing some Qi-Blood when consumed.
Of course, it can also be given to some Jiao Long, letting them experience the Dragon Energy, increasing their chances of becoming a True Dragon."
Gu An thought briefly and sighed, "Then it’s indeed useless."
The True Dragon Clan is really stingy too.
Afterwards, Gu An did not linger and started heading back with Chu Meng.
Eager to return for logging, it’s been almost a year since he left, now at Luo Sheng Hall, I can log for at least thirty days.
In a month’s time, as long as I encounter particularly special wood, I can surely achieve something.
So I must hurry back.
The cultivation lost at Beihu Snow Continent must be regained at Luo Sheng Hall.
Early May.
Gu An spent over ten thousand Spirit Stones and finally returned to the Cangmu Sect.
The familiar woods brought Gu An some joy.
Now I can enhance my cultivation again.
The days outside were too harsh.
As soon as he returned, Chu Meng left, and Gu An felt a sense of freedom.
Though stable with a superior around, doing things was not satisfactory.
Unable to avoid the superior, it’s as if everything is seen through.
Not anymore now.
Gu An entered the Sect’s gates, only feeling quite peculiar.
The gatekeepers he didn’t recognize, but they seemed to recognize him.
Upon entering, initially wanting to secretly listen to their conversation.
To see if he could overhear something.
However...
They steadfastly remained silent.
What is happening here?
Have these people changed, no longer communicating secretly?
With Golden Core Perfect Cultivation, the range for eavesdropping is limited.
Let alone secretly eavesdropping on fellow disciples with higher cultivation.
These two gatekeepers weren’t weak in cultivation, one at Late-stage Primordial Spirit, the other at Primordial Spirit Perfection.
Logically, if they wished to say something, there was no need to avoid him.
After all, with Sound Transmission, a Golden Core Perfection can’t hear it, no matter how much they strain.
Yet these two didn’t even use Sound Transmission.
If that’s the case, why were they looking at him with that peculiar gaze?
Gu An couldn’t understand.
Yet he didn’t think much of it.
First, return to the Outer Peak, see if the First Institute has changed.
If action is required on my part, it still needs to be resolved.
Ultimately, both the First Institute and the Second Team need steady development.
Returning to the Outer Peak, Gu An saw many people on his way.
Everyone greeted him with respect and saluted.
Gu An found it quite surprising.
Something felt off.
In the past, it wasn’t like this, though he had a decent reputation here, it wasn’t such that everyone would greet him formally.
Curious, Gu An locked onto them, wanting to listen to their private discussions.
Yet.....
Similar to the gatekeepers, he couldn’t hear any sound.
This was rather odd.
Could it be that during his absence, the Sect developed some special method of Sound Transmission?
Even with my cultivation level, unable to eavesdrop?
If even those at the Immortal Bridge Fourth Layer couldn’t hear their inner discussions, then advancing to such a realm in secret was a waste.
As he walked toward his residence, Gu An felt certain something had happened.
The way everyone looked at him had changed.
Novelty, concern, awe, as if he were someone terrifying.
This was rather bizarre.
And just when Gu An was about to reach his residence, the two gatekeepers at the Sect’s entrance glanced at each other and said, "He probably won’t pay attention to us anymore, right?"
The other also breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Such terrifying pressure, didn’t see it before, now it seems more and more terrifying.
Luckily, we never offended him before."
"Don’t discuss it much, there must be a reason for the senior brother’s way," the guard said with a face full of lingering fear.
Meanwhile.
Gu An had already returned to his residence.
He immediately had Pang Wen come over, any problem can be known through Pang Wen.
Accompanying him was Shu Ci as well.
These two excelled in different areas.
Working together would ease things a lot for him.
However, the atmosphere between these two always felt a bit strange.
