After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 73 - Help from Hua Jiyang

73: Chapter 73 Help from Hua Jiyang

73 -73 Help from Hua Jiyang

Nourishing Life Technique, Foundation Establishment version.

This item is quite expensive to purchase.

However, having this means that Hua Jiyang is no longer in a difficult situation.

“Seems like Senior Brother is in no trouble,” Gu An said with a soft smile.

“You’re wrong, on the contrary, I’m in a big trouble.

My situation is very complex.

In any case, don’t let others know of our connection,” Hua Jiyang whispered.

Gu An nodded, patted the Nourishing Life Technique, and said, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

“No need to thank me.

You’re old and all alone, it’s only right that I should help,” Hua Jiyang said with a smile.

“But this Cultivation Technique is a choice of last resort.

If you want a better Cultivation Technique, go to Chen Yue to take on a mission three months from now.

The mission in September is a backdoor opportunity provided by the Inner Sect for the Outer Sect.

Whether you can accept it depends on your relationship with Chen Yue.

The mission comes from the Book Collection Pavilion.

As long as you complete it, you will get a Foundation Establishment Technique.

But the mission is not easy to complete, you’d better be cautious.”

Gu An was somewhat surprised; he really did not know about this.

“What kind of Cultivation Technique will it be?”

“I don’t know, but you need to take on this mission, the sooner the better.

Since it’s not yet certain who will enter the Inner Sect, those people might not go to accept the mission,” Hua Jiyang explained.

“Of course, the Cultivation Technique is definitely better than what’s available on the market.

A lot better than the one you have in your hands.”

“Is the recruitment of Inner Sect Disciples contingent on the outcome of today’s competition?” Gu An asked, looking towards the platform.

“No, the Inner Sect’s recruitment is in two parts, one where the Inner Sect picks candidates, and another where the Outer Sect selects.

The top three in the competition can join the Inner Sect.

The difference is, when being picked, you’ll go to wherever you’re chosen.

The top three from the competition have to choose their own place, but the chosen place can also refuse.

However, there will definitely be a place that accepts you,” Haya Jiyang explained.

Gu An nodded.

That is to say, being picked by the Inner Sect is guaranteed, and the top three entries are only because the rules dictate it, out of obligation.

Not very favorable.

“I have to go now, oh right, do you have any Spirit Stones?” asked Hua Jiyang.

Afterwards, Gu An left fifty Spirit Stones for himself and gave the rest to Hua Jiyang.

In fact, that Cultivation Technique is worth more than these Spirit Stones.

He wonders why the other party lacks Spirit Stones.

Gu An doesn’t care.

After accepting the Spirit Stones, Hua Jiyang lowered his head and said with a smile, “I don’t know when we will meet again, Junior Brother.

Hopefully you’ll live a long life.

I can’t help you for now.

But you should be quite comfortable in the Outer Sect.

By the way, if you’re going to find Chen Yue, flip through the books I gave you; they might be able to help you.”

Having said that, Hua Jiyang stepped back a little and then disappeared into the crowd.

Gu An saw many people surrounding them, and some from the Inner Sect had arrived.

The competition on the platform was about to begin at any moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu An slowly withdrew from the crowd.

Since Hua Jiyang mentioned securing a spot early, it would be better to go sooner rather than later.

On the way, he took out the Nourishing Life Technique and opened it.

Inside, he found a piece of paper with an array pattern that he couldn’t understand.

He had very little knowledge in this area.

However, the array pattern seemed to be quite powerful.

He put away the paper and headed towards the foot of the mountain.

He quickly arrived at the mission assignment place.

There were very few people on the road today.

Most had gone to see the Inner Sect recruiting disciples.

Entering the room, he saw Chen Yue still reading and gently knocked on the door.

Chen Yue looked up, surprised to see the visitor: “You came to take on a mission?”

“Yes, and there’s another matter I need Senior Sister’s decision,” Gu An said as he took out the piece of paper and a box and placed them on the table, “I found a piece of paper and a box of pastries outside just now.

They might belong to someone else and possibly intended for Senior Sister.”

Chen Yue glanced at Gu An and the box of pastries, then said,

“Tell me about the mission you want to take on.”

“The mission three months from now,” Gu An replied truthfully.

“Oh?” Chen Yue seemed surprised and put down her book, “I’m not unwilling to give it to you, but your strength is insufficient and the risk is extremely high.

And someone has already asked for it in advance.”

Gu An understood her implication and respectfully said, “Senior Sister could take a look at that piece of paper first.”

Thinking this, he also had some worries inside.

He didn’t know what the paper represented.

He just hoped that Hua Jiyang wouldn’t trick him.

If it turned out to be useless, he would have to use more Spirit Stones.

Some things could still be sold.

Chen Yue was also surprised.

She glanced at the paper, hesitated for a moment but picked it up and unfolded it.

After one look, she closed it without any expression.

Placed it on her desk.

Gu An wasn’t sure of her intention, but did not speak, instead waiting patiently for her thoughts to return.

After a moment,

Chen Yue finally broke the silence, “Are you certain you want the mission three months from now?

Let me remind you, everyone going is at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

To consider it, you would need to be at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.

Going at the seventh layer is akin to courting death.”

Gu An nodded, “I indeed want to experience it, I can accept any consequences.”

“In that case,” Chen Yue took the piece of paper and said,

“I’ll pass on the pastries, you can take them back for yourself.

Try to advance to the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.

Five people will go on the mission, come to me at the beginning of September.

I will give you the specific mission details then and inform you about other aspects of the mission.”

Hearing this, Gu An knew the mission was secured.

He then bowed his thanks.

He did not take the box of pastries with him.

If she had reminded him when he was leaving, he would certainly have taken it.

But since she didn’t speak up as he left, there was no need to take it with him.

Inside were twenty Spirit Stones.

Now he had only thirty Spirit Stones left.

A bit too few.

He had to look for Senior Brothers and Sisters to “borrow” some Spirit Stones.

Sadly, that wasn’t possible today.

Everyone was watching the grand competition.

After securing his mission, Gu An also went to the competition.

From a distance, he saw powerful battles on the platform.

Magic and Body Skills were both extraordinary.

If he were to go up, he could only rely on the Qi Sea Sky Gang.

The more he watched, the more he felt that these people had more robust Spiritual Energy than his.

Having studied the Qi Sea Sky Gang, his should be more plentiful than the average person.

There was only one explanation:

The problem with his Cultivation Technique.

Compared to regular fellow disciples, he had a significant advantage.

But facing some sufficiently wealthy and talented fellow disciples, he was at a disadvantage.

“The Nourishing Life Technique is indeed mediocre.”

In the end, Gu An saw the final three contestants being taken into the Inner Sect.

One at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, and two beyond that.

“No wonder they say anyone basically at Foundation Establishment can join the Inner Sect.”

Three spots every year.

As long as there are no more than four at Foundation Establishment, one could potentially enter the Inner Sect.

Returning to his dwelling, Gu An glanced at his status panel.

[Name: Gu An]

[Cultivation: Ninth Level of Qi Refining]

[Status: Poisoned]

[Technique: 50/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 100/100]

[Ring of Destiny]

He could improve his technique tonight, and also his cultivation level.

Gu An took out the Nourishing Life Technique.

It was given by Hua Jiyang today.

As long as he followed it, he might be able to advance to Foundation Establishment.

But…

The Foundation Establishment from Nourishing Life Technique is too weak.

The impact of the Cultivation Technique is profound.

Less so at Qi Refining, but after Foundation Establishment, the differences become much more apparent.

So, should he advance, or not?
