#179 - Am I special?
Gu An looked at the person before him, still puzzled in his heart.
The other party shouldn't be lying and wouldn't use poison to control people.
But when he was still at the Qi Refining stage, that woman used poison.
It also didn't seem like he happened to eat poison.
Gu An recalled his past self, he indeed saw the other party committing the crime and then being poisoned by her.
Becoming her person.
Waiting for a mission.
Moreover, the antidote would be delivered on time.
At that time, he was very worried that the other party would forget about him, a Qi Refining cultivator.
If a normal dark line hadn't been fed poison, why would he be poisoned?
After thinking about it, what was different from other dark lines was that other dark lines didn't see that woman committing the crime.
That should be the reason.
If not that, could it be that he was special?
Gu An felt that his skin was a bit thick.
In addition, this question could be asked to Chu Meng.
"Junior Brother, how are your considerations going?" Shangguan Nuan said confidently, "Joining us will bring about a change in Junior Brother's situation, at least you won't be constrained in all aspects.
If Thousand Dust Peak doesn't provide what you need, we will.
Where there are people, there will inevitably be disputes, and where there are disputes, there will also be stances.
Junior Brother's stance is different from others, and you will be ostracized and targeted.
Therefore, we are even more needed.
Our people are spread all over the sect, and joining us can change everything.
Completing more tasks can even raise your status, give you access to more positions in the sect, and you will grasp more things.
Later, if you want to break away, as long as you pay a small price, you can regain your freedom.
Of course, the premise is to keep what should be kept secret."
Gu An was a little tempted listening to her.
According to what the other party said, joining that woman's faction and becoming her dark line.
Was completely more beneficial than harmful.
You wouldn't be constrained and could break away at any time.
As long as you didn't betray them.
But, within the sect, was there such a good place?
According to the logic that the more free something is, the more expensive it is.
The more freedom, the more dangerous.
Gu An pretended to think, and said, "I will remember Senior Sister's matter, if I really have no way out, I will definitely go to Senior Sister.
It's just that now I understand my situation, simply joining a certain force is not enough.
Instead, there will be more trouble."
Shangguan Nuan was slightly surprised, she persuaded again, "As far as I know, Junior Brother's current situation is very bad,
There are always people who want to harm Junior Brother, although many people have scruples, but these scruples will not last long."
"I understand what Senior Sister is saying," Gu An nodded.
After that, he didn't speak.
Shangguan Nuan was silent for a moment, and finally didn't persuade him anymore, but just said, "Then Junior Brother can come to me if you need anything,
But there is one thing Junior Brother needs to understand.
We here value benefits, now Junior Brother joining is more beneficial than harmful to us.
But after a while, if the disadvantages are too great, the benefits of joining us will not be as good as they are now.
These all need to be evaluated."
Gu An nodded.
After that, Shangguan Nuan turned and left.
Gu An saw the other party's surging figure in the corner of his eye.
He glanced at his status.
No charm technique, but more terrifying than charm technique.
After confirming that the other party had left, Gu An flew away on his sword, heading to Peak Outside Peak.
"According to what Chu Meng said, many people will come to win me over, but I can't agree to any of them."
Gu An flew in the air on his sword, his mind full of thoughts.
If he didn't rely on others now, then he would always be weak, which would be good for everyone.
Let the commotion be a commotion.
If he relied on something, then the nature would change.
Some people would be eager to take action.
The balance would be broken.
Ultimately, he still had to be isolated and helpless.
Even if he had good friends, then these good friends would also suffer.
If his good friends had impressive identities and backgrounds, then he would be finished.
Thus, it seemed that there were really all kinds of oppressions within the sect.
Moreover, he still didn't know who was targeting him in the last mission.
He sighed, Gu An didn't think about it anymore.
Thinking about these things was too far away, improving his cultivation was the key.
Those dangers were still some distance away, while that Senior Sister Tao's threat was imminent.
He had to improve his strength as soon as possible to deal with it.
After that, Gu An took the axe and walked towards the forest behind the Blood God Wood.
When he came over, Gu An felt a black poisonous gas in the forest.
Heart-Devouring Wood.
Heart-Devouring Wood, carrying a highly toxic poison that could enter the blood and devour the heart, causing Qi and blood to collapse.
These were all recorded, and Golden Cores were basically unable to cut it down.
For so many years, no one had come here to cut wood.
Gu An took a deep breath, found a tree that was smaller in age, and began to chop it down,
Bang!
A relatively muffled sound came.
After that, Gu An began to feel the changes in his body.
Apart from a strange aura entering his body, there was no discomfort at all.
Poisonous gas?
Gu An wasn't sure.
But for now, his body really didn't have any problems.
He could only constantly sense his body and then continue to chop wood.
Even when it got dark, Gu An didn't stop.
And as time passed, he quickly noticed the first warm current,
[Bitter Cultivation: 65 / 100]
In the middle of the night, Gu An once again noticed the warm current.
[Bitter Cultivation: 66 / 100]
After that, he continued to chop wood.
Before dawn approached, the warm current appeared again.
[Art: 15 / 50]
Even though this warm current was relatively large, Gu An still didn't dare to speed up.
He could only chop wood at a uniform speed and carefully.
After dawn.
The warm current arrived once again.
[Art: 16 / 50]
Four warm currents in one night, which made Gu An breathe a sigh of relief.
He was chopping wood at a uniform speed, if he chopped wood at full strength.
Could there be one or two more?
If he chopped wood for a whole day.
Wouldn't it be possible for eight warm currents to appear in one day?
In that case, he could advance in at most ten days?
Not only could he advance, but he could also improve an art once.
Then should he choose Vertical Golden Light or Cage?
After hesitating for a long time, Gu An decided to choose Cage.
Vertical Golden Light was barely enough, even if it was only entry-level, as long as the opponent's speed wasn't particularly fast among the same rank.
He could be considered to have an advantage.
And if he learned Cage, even if the opponent's speed had an advantage, he still had the possibility of killing them.
But...
Gu An immediately looked at his status.
No side effects appeared all night.
He was a little puzzled.
[Status: Poisoned, Heart Poison entering the body, Heart Poison fusing with poison.]
It fused again.
The last time, Fire Poison was also like this.
This time, Heart-Devouring Poison was also like this.
But compared to last time, why didn't he have any reaction this time?
"Last time it entered my body, directly harming my body, this time it's using blood as the source, so it fused with the previous poison,
No big reaction?"
Gu An didn't understand.
But he still planned to go back and rest for a while that noon.
Gu An felt that his Qi and blood were a little depleted, but it wasn't a big problem.
It was within the range of tolerance.
Thus, he continued to chop wood.
His courage also grew.
After that, he kept chopping wood, and as the energy gathered by the axe became more and more, the warm currents that Gu An felt also became more and more.
By the time he chopped wood until dawn, there were already six warm currents.
This speed made Gu An moved.
However, the next day, the depletion of Qi and blood was severe, but it was still within the range of tolerance.
In the following days, Gu An was chopping wood.
When Senior Sister Tao looked at him, her eyes were filled with coldness, and she even wanted to attack.
In order to avoid conflict, Gu An could only keep dodging her.
For a time, the people of the second team in the courtyard all knew.
They said he was a coward.
They also said that he was like a waste, only knowing how to chop wood.
They even threatened that if he didn't apologize and compensate, they would find a chance to break his legs.
Gu An didn't get angry and continued to chop wood.
In the following time, Gu An chopped wood at noon and rested at dawn.
He could feel six or seven warm currents a day on August 11th.
Gu An breathed a sigh of relief looking at the panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Cultivation: Early Golden Core]
[Status: Poisoned, Heart Poison entering the body, Heart Poison fusing with poison]
[Art: 49 / 50]
[Bitter Cultivation: 100 / 100]
[Ring of Fate]
It was still late at night, the hour of the Rat hadn't even passed yet, he could continue to chop wood.
