Go to become a god, let me marry into the sect

That the knife wasn't recognized by these people was quite unexpected for Gu An.

But such a cost-effective thing, wouldn't they really consider it?

After hesitating again and again, Gu An still gave up.

It wasn't that he was worried about others saying he was poor.

But rather...

Too poor to afford it.

After wandering around a few times, he discovered that the price of swords was generally expensive.

Spears were the cheapest.

Perhaps those who used spears had bad luck, so everyone disliked them.

And knives...

For some reason, they were labeled as vulgar and cheap.

Equivalent to being for poor people.

After wandering around again, Gu An determined that he couldn't afford magical artifacts and could only buy some healing talismans and attack talismans.

Simple healing talismans were two spirit stones, attack talismans for the sixth level of Qi training were three spirit stones, and attack talismans for the ninth level of Qi training cost five spirit stones.

Defense talismans for the ninth level of Qi training cost seven spirit stones.

The price-to-value ratio here was much higher than at the Spiritwood Garden.

In the end, Gu An bought one Azure Fire Talisman, one Spirit Solidification Talisman, and five healing talismans.

An Azure Fire Talisman cost seven spirit stones and could deal with the ninth level of Qi training, but the requirements for the user were also not low.

A Spirit Solidification Talisman cost five spirit stones and could defend against a single strike from the ninth level of Qi training.

It cost a total of twenty-two spirit stones.

After bargaining, the deal was made for twenty spirit stones.

He still had one hundred and twenty spirit stones left.

As for elixirs, he bought simple Detoxification Pills and Mind Focusing Pills.

The former was for detoxification, and the latter was for dispelling mental spells.

It cost ten spirit stones.

Elixirs were really ridiculously expensive.

No wonder everyone liked to buy talismans.

But the effect was really good, far from what ordinary talismans could compare to.

Therefore, the status of alchemists was relatively higher than that of talisman makers.

Spending thirty spirit stones, Gu An walked towards his residence.

In a few more days, he would go to the mission assignment office to meet up with the others.

After that, it would be the capture of the traitor.

The specific information about the traitor would be obtained on that day, and the situation of the other two people who were going with him would also be known.

In this way, he could also know the threat they posed to him.

Now that he was at the eighth level of Qi training, the ninth level of Qi training shouldn't be able to see through his cultivation, let alone stronger people.

"I still have to learn the aura chapter of the Myriad Manifestations of the Universe, and I should be able to hide it from everyone." Gu An couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the Myriad Manifestations of the Universe book.

He hadn't heard any news about Senior Brother Hua Jiyang for a long time.

He only knew that everyone avoided him like the plague, constantly trying to distance themselves.

Even he had to do the same.

Prudent self-preservation.

Involving the inner sect, which outer sect dared to directly oppose it?

Within the sect, strength was almost equal to status, which was basically equal to everything.

Those who disobeyed would not have a good end.

He had inexplicably offended someone because of Ren Shan, and if he offended the inner sect again because of Hua Jiyang.

Perhaps he really wouldn't live long.

Sighing heavily, Gu An felt powerless.

He could only work hard to improve his cultivation and strive for more initiative.

Just as he returned to his residence, he discovered that someone had come to knock on his door.

Gu An thought someone had come to "borrow" spirit stones.

However, when he came out to take a look, it was Ren Shan bringing her daughter.

At this time, Ren Shan only had one arm, and she stood outside, looking pitiful.

Making people unable to resist the urge to pity her.

Without much thought, Gu An understood that this was charm magic.

His state of mind was still not good, and he had to learn the Mind Cleansing Mantra.

When encountering this kind of situation, just silently recite it a few times.

He definitely wouldn't fall into charm magic.

"Senior Brother Gu." Ren Shan lowered her head and said politely.

The little girl hid behind her, looking at Gu An with some fear.

Gu An didn't care, and just asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that Senior Brother Gu has a mission, and this is a trap set up for you by some people. Junior Sister has come specifically to remind you." Ren Shan said.

"You are so kind." Gu An smiled and said, "It's a pity that the reason they came to me was entirely because you gave me a fake secret. It would be good if I didn't seek revenge on you, yet you dare to come looking for me."

In fact, he didn't know whether the secret was true or false, but it was fine to say it was fake.

Perhaps there might be other gains.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't fall for it.

After revealing surprise, she assured, "I did give Senior Brother the real secret. If someone said it was fake, it's very likely that they deceived Senior Brother."

Gu An looked at the other party, also not sure whether these words were true or false.

But he didn't think too much about it, and just said, "You came to me just to say this?"

"No." Ren Shan touched her daughter's head, looked at Gu An seriously, and said:

"I know who is going to deal with Senior Brother. If Senior Brother is willing, I can help Senior Brother escape the danger.

This time's external mission, they just want Senior Brother to make a choice.

If the choice is not what they like, then it will be a dangerous moment."

Gu An looked at the person in front of him and asked, "No matter what choice I make, I can turn danger into safety?"

Meeting Gu An's gaze, Ren Shan said neither humble nor arrogant, "Normally speaking, that's how it is, but I don't know how Senior Brother will choose.

But I will do my best to help Senior Brother.

Of course, I will also give Senior Brother the optimal solution.

It's just that the optimal solution I think of, whether to do it or not is Senior Brother's business."

Gu An looked at the other party's sincere gaze and said, "What is your purpose?"

"Senior Brother's strength is not bad. I hope to get Senior Brother's protection." Ren Shan said.

Gu An chuckled, "Just like that?"

Ren Shan replied, "Being able to do this is already very good."

"Is that so?" Gu An looked at the person in front of him and said, "Then you go back, I refuse."

Hearing this, Ren Shan was a little surprised. She looked at Gu An seriously and said, "I know that Senior Brother's strength is extraordinary, but facing the targeting in the mission, you will also have to pay a certain price."

Gu An didn't get angry either, and just said, "According to your meaning, as long as I listen to you, I can return safely?"

"At least a 70% chance." Ren Shan said confidently.

"The meaning is that my brain is not as good as yours, so it's best to listen to you.

Now I can't deal with it myself, and it will be even more so in the future, so I have to listen to you and rely on you?" Gu An looked at the person in front of him, his eyes icy cold:

"Is that what Fairy Ren means?"

The person in front of him had never thought of equal cooperation.

Either she was looking for a shield, or she wanted to create a puppet, or she wanted people to work for her silently.

This woman was not one of his kind.

"Senior Brother Gu has misunderstood." Ren Shan quickly explained, "I am just offering advice for Senior Brother. Senior Brother is the final decision-maker, and it is Senior Brother who decides what to do.

Or what is Senior Brother going to do, what I can do is help Senior Brother think of a solution.

I just want to rely on Senior Brother's wings to have a way out."

Gu An laughed.

Rely on him?

In the other party's cognition, he was just a seventh-level Qi training.

What was that?

Was it worth relying on?

Gu An looked at the other party and shook his head, "Why doesn't Fairy Ren look at herself in the mirror? Haven't you noticed?

You have always been looking down on people."

Gu An looked at the other party's blank look and made a gesture: "I won't see you off."

After the other party left, Gu An's eyes narrowed.

The person in front of him did have a different mind, but the other party looked down on people too much.

What was fatal was sometimes not weakness, but arrogance.

The other party had an extraordinary origin and also had some abilities of her own.

In her opinion, a middle-aged man in the eastern district of the outer sect was only worthy of being a puppet to protect their mother and daughter.

It wasn't that Gu An didn't need people to offer advice.

After all, he had no experience with mission traps.

But plotting with a tiger, he might die.

So the mission still needed to rely on himself.
