The sky wasn't even bright yet.

Gu An began to comprehend the Hundred Steps Chasing Wind.

Instantly, the skill's stats began to change.

A force merged into Gu An's body.

Gradually, his comprehension of the skill became more and more effortless.

The minor accomplishment of Hundred Steps Chasing Wind broke through its limit.

It seemed that with just a thought, he could take a hundred steps extremely quickly.

Silently and invisibly, chasing the raging wind.

Hundred Steps Chasing Wind, Major Accomplishment.

Feeling all of this, Gu An felt that among those at the fourth level of Qi Refining, it would be difficult for them to catch up to him without relying on external objects.

Even with the help of some simple talismans and magical artifacts, they might not be able to catch up.

Once it reached Perfection, it would be even more extraordinary.

It was hard to say whether those at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining could catch up in the first instant.

That was assuming they didn't have a deep understanding of this skill.

If they were both at Major Accomplishment or Perfection, he definitely wouldn't be a match.

Ending his cultivation, Gu An looked out the window.

The sky was already faintly bright, and he had many things to do today.

"If no accident occurs, the new leader will follow me back and then snoop around my residence."

Gu An thought to himself as he gradually walked to the hall.

Chu Meng was sitting and sleeping; she had been like this for quite some time.

For safety's sake, Gu An would re-sever her tendons every so often.

To prevent her from recovering.

A slight carelessness, and he could die at her hands.

Footsteps sounded.

Chu Meng opened her eyes immediately, her eyes showing a hint of fatigue and anger.

Seeing Gu An, she said with some emotional instability, "Do you know? My body is starting to stink. I really want to kill you right now."

Gu An prepared a bowl of porridge.

Just as he placed it on the table, she flung the porridge away with her head, exclaiming:

"I won't eat it! Do you know how I eat?"

Gu An looked at her somewhat broken-down appearance and sighed, "Senior, I also want to hand you over as soon as possible, but as you know, the people above haven't contacted me, and I can't do anything about it either."

"Let me go, and I definitely won't cause you any trouble," Chu Meng said seriously.

Gu An shook his head: "Junior cannot do that."

The poison was about to take effect. If he let her go, he would be the one to die.

The world of cultivation was not beautiful to begin with. Living as a low-level cultivator like him was already difficult. If he put himself in a desperate situation again, he would really die.

Perhaps some people were lucky and could easily turn danger into safety.

But he only had one life, so how could he dare to gamble?

Chu Meng gritted her teeth, but she quickly calmed down. She looked at the person in front of her and said, "You're at the fourth level of Qi Refining?"

"Yes," Gu An said with emotion, "My luck is relatively good. Also, I wanted to ask if Senior has any techniques for hiding one's cultivation."

"I do, but why should I give it to you?" Chu Meng asked.

"Senior feels that her body stinks. I wonder if a cleansing talisman would be useful?" Gu An asked.

Hearing this, Chu Meng looked at Gu An blankly and said, "You were waiting for me here? I didn't expect you to be so scheming."

Gu An was slightly surprised; he didn't have such thoughts.

"You're just like that bitch, so black-hearted," Chu Meng said coldly:

"Do you think I'm so easy to manipulate?"

Gu An sighed; it seemed it wouldn't be easy.

Then he had to be extra careful with today's plan and put himself in a very weak position.

Just as he was about to leave, Chu Meng spoke: "What kind do you want?"

Huh?

In the end, Gu An obtained the Aura Concealment Technique.

This was easy to learn.

If he learned it well enough, the effect should be good.

The leader, who was also at the fourth level of Qi Refining, shouldn't be able to detect it.

After putting her in the training room, Gu An prepared another bowl of porridge for her.

Only then did he head to the Spirit Wood Garden.

Regarding the sudden change, Chu Meng only thought that the person before her had received some benefits and knew how to be attentive.

Spirit Wood Garden.

Gu An didn't arrive too early, but he was definitely there before the stipulated time.

However, when he arrived, he found that the other four had already arrived, and the leader was in front, explaining the work.

Only he seemed to have an improper attitude.

Sure enough, when the leader, Shang Yundong, saw Gu An, he frowned: "I asked you to come early today. Does Leader Gu have any objections?"

"Or is it that what I say is useless?"

He emphasized the words "Leader Gu" quite heavily.

Gu An frowned slightly: "When did the leader notify us?"

"I asked Yang Shi to notify you. Now that everyone else is here, and you're only arriving slowly now, isn't that your problem?" Shang Yundong asked coldly.

Hearing this, Gu An already knew the situation and apologized with his head lowered: "It was my fault for waking up late."

"Go chop wood. If there's a next time, you don't need to come anymore."

"Someone in their forties at the third level of Qi Refining. It's already strange that someone like you can be a supervisor, let alone a leader," Shang Yundong said disdainfully.

Gu An sighed in his heart. It seemed that this leader couldn't tolerate him either.

However, what the other party said was also correct; his strength was too ordinary.

So he could only nod in agreement.

He picked up an axe and went to chop trees.

If things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before he was stripped of his duties as a supervisor.

If it were in the past, Gu An would naturally do something about it.

Send some gifts to be more stable.

There was no need now; the leader might take his life tonight.

So there was no need to do extra things.

"Old Gu, it seems you haven't been doing well lately," a rather young rogue cultivator lumberjack laughed.

Gu An smiled and nodded: "At least you guys can receive a lot of spirit stones. What about me? I'm not even as good as you."

The young rogue cultivator laughed, feeling happy for a moment.

It wasn't because there was any good news, but just seeing someone better than him suddenly become inferior to him made him feel happy.

After a while.

Yang Shi came over and said that he had forgotten to notify them yesterday.

It was all his fault.

He would explain it to the new leader later.

Gu An waved his hand and said it was okay, no need to worry.

He was already like this, and the other party could still say that, so it seemed that he hadn't been promoted yet.

But it would be soon.

With the Chen family's support, the third level of Qi Refining was only a matter of time.

The fourth level of Qi Refining in a few years wasn't impossible either.

The fourth level was different from the third level; it was already the middle stage of Qi Refining.

There was a certain bottleneck.

Today passed a little slower than usual, not because of chopping wood, but because Gu An had something on his mind.

He didn't know what he would encounter today.

Evening.

Everything ended smoothly.

Yang Shi had only come over to find him at the beginning and hadn't come over afterward.

The other supervisors naturally didn't come over to suppress him either.

However, apart from Qiu Hua, the others were somewhat distant from him.

This was something that couldn't be helped.

Under the attention of the outer sect disciples, everyone would choose to protect themselves.

Gu An himself was no exception.

Fortunately, his stats had improved, not much, but it was stable.

Watching Gu An leave.

Zhao Ying felt a little guilty: "We didn't even greet Old Gu all day. Isn't that not good?"

"There's no way around it. There can only be four supervisors. Now that the new leader obviously wants to get rid of Old Gu, if we get close, it's easy for it to be us."

"Once we don't have the convenience of this position, then..." Shen Shan and lowered his head, unable to continue.

They didn't want to either, but life was like this.

They could only choose the better side.

Yang Shi said disdainfully: "Gu An himself offended the new leader. Now we're just taking sides. Someone at the third level of Qi Refining who is also in their forties is nothing."
