He returned to Peak Beyond Peaks.
Gu An reviewed his master's mission.
He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
He always felt that such a task wouldn't be assigned by his master personally.
Moreover, it involved finding a group of Golden Cores.
When did the Peak Lords become so approachable?
Normally, after ascending the mountain, one would only have one chance to see the master.
In addition, some people hadn't even seen the master's face.
Becoming a Peak Lord's disciple didn't necessarily require kowtowing and formally apprenticing.
It was like a transfer order, directly transferring them up.
Someone was always responsible for these things.
There was no need to meet the master.
Ultimately, there was definitely a problem with this matter.
But what the problem was might take some time to see.
In addition, there was an undercover agent in the First Institute, which was probably dangerous.
Thinking this, Gu An left Peak Beyond Peaks on his sword, heading outwards.
Since that box would be discovered sooner or later, he might as well tell Dongfang Changli directly.
But what kind of reward should he ask for?
After hesitating, Gu An decided not to mention the reward for now.
Just treat it as letting the other party inspect the goods.
If the other party went back on their word and didn't give a reward, or lowered the price, he could see their true colors.
It was something he wanted to get rid of anyway, so understanding the other party's trustworthiness through this was acceptable.
If the Divine Monarch Hall opened, could it be supervised by the Hall Master?
Unfortunately, he couldn't join the Divine Monarch Hall.
He could only let the Blood Demon Divine Monarch go to communicate, but the other party was strong and had deep foundations, so there was no way to know what choice they would make.
A slight carelessness could put him in danger.
It was troubling.
Fortunately, the Divine Monarch Hall hadn't opened yet, and the Hall Master hadn't appeared yet.
When he was strong enough, he wouldn't worry about the Blood Demon Divine Monarch having any ideas.
Leaving the sect, Gu An used the Blood Spirit to go to the mountain where he had previously communicated with Dongfang Changli, and finally left a letter, activating a secret technique.
He informed Dongfang Changli that he could obtain the message.
With that, the Blood Spirit dissipated directly.
At this time, Gu An was walking on the road to Qingmu City,
planning to take a look at the talisman shop.
Suddenly coming out and then suddenly going back, he felt it would be suspicious if he didn't do something.
Because he wasn't in a hurry, Gu An decided to walk.
On the road.
Gu An heard the whinnying of a horse.
He was slightly surprised.
When he went to check, he found a carriage carrying goods had fallen into the ditch beside the road.
The goods were pressing down on the thin horse, making it unable to struggle,
and an old man was trying to push the carriage, seemingly wanting to help the horse climb out.
But the weak old man couldn't push the carriage in the ditch.
When Gu An came over, he looked at the old man in the ditch and said kindly, "Old man, you can't leave the carriage in the ditch."
He pointed to the blocked waterway and said, "You're blocking the water flow."
The old man, who was already a little at a loss, wiped his dirty hands in the mud after hearing what Gu An said, at a loss.
He opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
Gu An ignored the other party's helplessness, only forming a hand seal with two fingers and gently lifting.
The carriage and the horse were directly lifted by him, and then landed steadily on the ground.
Then the scattered goods all landed neatly on the carriage.
With that, he continued, "Don't park the carriage in the ditch next time."
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Gu An gently stepped forward and walked away.
When he passed the old man and the carriage, a gust of wind blew.
The dirt on the carriage and the mud on the old man instantly dissipated.
When the old man came back to his senses, he found that Gu An had already disappeared at the end of the road.
At this time, Gu An had already arrived at Qingmu City. He didn't care about the old man's affairs, this was the Demon Sect after all.
There weren't so many good people.
For many people, he was also a bad person.
Among those in the sect who knew him, there were few who didn't want him to suffer a loss or be punished.
Arriving at the talisman shop, Gu An saw the owner talking to a man.
He seemed to be begging the other party.
"Go back, I won't agree," the owner said, giving a dismissal order when he saw Gu An enter.
The man opposite him was about thirty years old.
He had a Foundation Establishment Completion cultivation.
He glanced at Gu An, hesitated, and then left.
Gu An made way, not daring to block the guest's path.
Once the other party left, Gu An said to the owner, "It's been too long since I've been here, am I affecting your business?"
"It doesn't matter," the owner shook his head and said, "You can come here to work when you're free, it doesn't matter if you're not."
Hearing this, Gu An suddenly thought of something.
Chu Meng said how could he have the face to respond when others called him Young Master.
Now that the owner was calling him Little Friend, how could he be embarrassed?
After all, the owner looked only a few years older than him.
However, he was Qi Refining, and the other party was Golden Core.
Calling him Little Friend was reasonable.
With that, Gu An didn't ask the other party to change his address.
"I'm here to watch the store," Gu An said.
After briefly looking at the talismans, Gu An was slightly surprised, it seemed that there weren't many goods.
Seeing this, the owner explained, "It's the Ouyang family, because of cooperating with them, the store's business has improved a lot, and they also give discounts on prices, ten spirit stones off for every ten spirit stones spent."
Saying that, he took a pile of spirit stones and gave them to Gu An, "This is your reward."
Gu An took a look, three hundred spirit stones.
This was clearly to give him a share.
But Gu An refused.
In the end, he took three spirit stones.
He would take as many spirit stones as he did work.
The other party was willing to share with him, but it also meant that he was related to this place and would have to use his name.
Gu An was just here to work, and didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
He also didn't want to take advantage of the owner's shop.
After all, the shop was useless to him, and it was only useful to some large families.
And the core was naturally the owner himself.
So taking it would only cause trouble.
A few hundred spirit stones were a lot, but he didn't lack them at the moment.
With the backing of the First Institute, plus some senior brothers and sisters were always generous.
He was quite wealthy.
Currently, with more than 200,000 spirit stones, he could be called "one of the wealthiest."
Among the Golden Core cultivators of Peak Beyond Peaks, how many were as wealthy as him?
The owner persuaded him a few more times, and only gave up when he saw that Gu An really didn't want it.
With that, Gu An sat down and began to sell talismans.
The business was indeed better than before now.
Not long after he sat down, a middle-aged man walked in, a late-stage Foundation Establishment.
"I want some attack talismans, do you have any recommendations?" the old man asked.
Gu An thought for a moment and recommended the Thousand Hammer Talisman and the Thundercloud Talisman, which were quite useful in the Foundation Establishment range.
The price was about eighteen to twenty-three spirit stones.
After knowing the price, the other party said, "Do you have anything more practical?"
Gu An introduced an attack talisman for ten spirit stones.
The attack power wasn't great, but it was very useful for harassment.
The other party wanted it.
Then he said that he was from the Ouyang family.
He could get a discount.
Gu An thought for a moment and said, "Do you have an identity token?"
There had to be some proof after all.
Otherwise, wouldn't everyone say they were?
Hearing this, the other party frowned and said, "What? Do you need me to ask my family head to come and prove it? Your boss doesn't have that much courage."
Gu An was silent, why did he always encounter such people as soon as he came?
Was his cultivation too low?
In order to maintain harmony, Gu An adjusted his cultivation to Foundation Establishment Completion, specifically to show the other party.
Feeling the pressure of Foundation Establishment Completion, the middle-aged man handed over his identity token in a cold sweat.
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, I brought the token, please take a look." The other party had a face full of cold sweat.
Only then was the transaction completed.
Gu An originally wanted the other party to remind Ouyang Lie to consciously provide his identity token when buying things.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
He rarely came here and there was no trouble.
Just treat it as a way to pass the time.
In addition, starting today, he will hide his cultivation when he comes here.
This will also prevent others from underestimating him, which is good for everyone.
He won't show his Golden Core, as it easily attracts trouble.
Afterwards, he saw Aunt Zeng come over to clean.
When she saw Gu An, she took out the pastries she had brought and shared half of them.
"Immortal Master, this was made by my daughter, please try some." Aunt Zeng smiled and placed them on the table.
Gu An looked at the slightly ordinary pastries, reached out and took a piece, and tried it.
Ordinary, the taste was just okay.
A little better than Chu Meng's second maid, so it was passable.
Far inferior to the first and third maids.
"Very delicious." Gu An said softly.
Hearing this, Aunt Zeng smiled even more happily.
When it was almost dark, Aunt Zeng left.
Close to midnight, Gu An saw two people come in.
He got up, intending to close the door, but then sat down again.
There were some lighting formations here, but not as good as the ones at his home.
After the people came in, Gu An sized them up.
The one walking in front was a man in his thirties, slightly anxious, precisely the man who had talked to the boss during the day.
Behind the man stood a woman wearing a fairy dress, with delicate features, graceful and slender, but she lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers.
Her eyes were a little red, as if she had been crying.
Foundation Establishment Initial Stage cultivation.
"Where's your boss?" the man asked Gu An.
Gu An called out for the boss, and soon Qin Shufu came out.
Seeing the person, he frowned.
"Senior." Seeing the boss come out, the man knelt down and said, "Senior, I know some things about you. We are truly desperate. Please accept my younger sister.
If she can give birth to a son or daughter for you in the future, it will be her blessing."
Gu An was stunned.
At first, he thought it was about accepting a disciple, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of thing?
However, the other party looked to be about eighteen years old, and overall, she had some beauty.
She should be stronger than the previous woman, right?
But it is easy to know a person's face but not their heart.
If it's still that kind of woman....
Then the boss is really, the road of love is so full of hardships.
As for the boss being not young, and the other party being young.
That's not a big deal.
Whether this girl can live longer than the boss is another matter.
Don't look at her being young, her real age should not be young.
The boss looked at the person in front of him and said, "I said, this matter is impossible, you go back."
At this time, the man directly pulled his sister down to kneel, and said, "Senior, I know you are a good person, my sister marrying you is her best choice."
The woman lowered her eyebrows, looked at her brother, and finally respectfully said, "Senior, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life."
Qin Shufu coldly looked at the two people and said, "Even if you have enough talismans, you may not be able to hunt down demon beasts, and wanting to advance to the Golden Core stage is far from as simple as you think."
"Please fulfill our request, Senior." The man heavily kowtowed.
Finally, Qin Shufu sighed and looked at the woman and said, "What about you?"
"I am willing." The woman lowered her head.
Qin Shufu shook his head, then threw a storage treasure to the man and said, "I hope you won't regret it."
Receiving the storage treasure, the man revealed an excited smile, and then quickly left.
After the person left, Qin Shufu helped the woman up.
The other party lowered her head, not daring to look at the person in front of her.
Qin Shufu looked at the person in front of him and said, "To put it nicely, that's a betrothal gift, to put it harshly, that's money for selling yourself. Are you just so obedient?"
The woman lowered her eyebrows, bitterly and helplessly saying, "My talent is actually not very good, it was my brother who forcibly raised me to the Foundation Establishment stage, in order to sell me for a good price.
If I don't agree, he will sell me to the teahouse.
He doesn't have much time left."
Gu An had been sitting on the side, watching their affairs.
For a time, he was somewhat stunned.
So that's what's going on.
Quite different from what he expected.
"I hope you don't regret it." Qin Shufu said.
The woman lowered her head.
"What's your name?" Qin Shufu asked.
"Yu Yawen." The woman softly replied.
Thus, Qin Shufu then looked at Gu An and said, "Little friend, you must be laughing at me."
Gu An slightly shook his head.
Laughing at you, not really, but I've gained some knowledge.
He didn't expect that in the end, the boss still escaped being alone in his old age.
He was deceived last time, I wonder how his luck will be this time.
"Congratulations, Boss." Saying this, Gu An took out the previous three spirit stones again and said, "Consider this a congratulatory gift."
It's a little less, but I'm an employee.
Seeing that midnight was approaching, Gu An left.
He won't disturb them.
On the way back, the Ring of Fate had feedback.
Gu An checked it immediately.
【Yesterday morning, after separating from you at Sky Suspension Peak, Wei Zhen began to think about how to find the spy. As the person searching, he was naturally safe. He was worried about whether he had been discovered recently. As an early spy sent by the Heavenly Yang Sect, he was also walking on thin ice. Now he can be said to have made it through and started to come into contact with the affairs of the mountain, and doesn't want to expose himself.
If he really can't find the spy, he can only sacrifice some of his own people to further his position.
After learning who you are, he is a little disdainful of you. Even if he has to sacrifice his own people, he decided to get something from you or kill you.
There are many people outside who want to buy things from your body.】
Gu An watched while controlling his sword.
Somewhat unexpected.
Wei Zhen, should be that senior brother, he is actually a spy of the Heavenly Yang Sect.
The next day, Gu An did not go to Qingmu City.
Give the boss some private space to cultivate feelings.
With myself there, it would be somewhat inconvenient.
After midnight passed.
The Ring of Fate appeared again.
【Yesterday at noon, Kong Yunyi was wondering why she was chosen as a member to find the spy. After thinking for a day and reviewing the past, after confirming that she was not exposed, she breathed a sigh of relief. As a royal spy, she had to observe the changes in the sect, but she knew that other royal spies had come, seemingly because she was not doing her job well.
Once abandoned, it would be dangerous.
So she decided to find the spy and send him on his way,
Regarding you, she suspects that you have the Nirvana Scripture and wants to find a way to see if you have any problems.
Several merits, and in control of a courtyard, suddenly rising up, afraid that someone is pushing the waves from behind.
You may be a spy sent by someone who values the Cangmu Sect very much.
Otherwise, how could there be so many achievements.】
Gu An was silent.
Another spy.
The third day.
As soon as midnight passed.
The Ring of Fate came again.
【Yesterday afternoon, Zhuo Yitong and her junior sister discussed it and finally thought of a way to break the situation. This time, as the main person looking for the spy, not only did she break free, but she could also move the tail left by her junior sister under your name. As far as she knows, there are some direct disciples who want to target you.
As long as she pushes the waves, someone will send you to the Law Enforcement Hall.
This time she will prepare all the evidence.
Completely transfer the identity of the junior sister's spy to you.
In this way, no one will know their identity as a spy, so they can continue to pass on news to the Reincarnation lineage.
?】
Gu An:
All spies?
