Late at night, Gu An returned to his residence at the Outer Peak.

He seldom returned to Heavenly Suspension Peak these days, and when he did, it was only to feed Mian Tiao.

He continued logging recently, but the accumulation of value was slow.

The application had been sent, it depended on whether better wood could be logged.

The probability of rejection was high.

After all, the strength of the second team was too weak, even though he was the leader.

The limitation was obvious.

Golden Core Middle Stage.

The upper limit of tree cutting had already been demonstrated.

Continuing to open would be dangerous.

But Gu An couldn’t let them know that he had already achieved Primordial Spirit Perfection.

Those trees posed no harm to him.

Even the stronger ones wouldn’t cause much harm.

Or rather, only the stronger trees were suitable for him to fell.

Early morning.

The last day of November.

Gu An called Pang Wen and Shu Ci.

"Is the team lead going on a mission?" Pang Wen asked.

Gu An looked at them and nodded: "Yes, we are departing tomorrow with the team from the Law Enforcement Hall.

I don’t know how long we will be out; I’ll leave the matters of the second team to you."

Specific instructions weren’t given by Gu An.

Their capabilities were okay.

Let them figure it out themselves.

He merely had some understanding of expansion.

In terms of management, these people might actually do better than him.

His cultivation was high, but he was exposed to too few things.

There were some differences in perspective.

As long as nothing unexpected happened, letting them handle it was fine.

Other matters, they could be discussed if any issues arose.

At least for now, he didn’t see any signs of trouble.

There was no need to instruct them on what to do.

Later, Gu An asked about Yu Tu.

"His injury has just recovered, but he constantly wanted to log. I refused and asked him to adjust his status and improve his cultivation," Shu Ci said.

Gu An nodded: "Where does he live?"

"In a house near the forest; a new place was built there," Shu Ci explained.

Then Gu An asked about other people.

Shu Ci reported one by one.

They were all cultivating.

Both of them were waiting for a mission to arrive.

Pang Wen mentioned that the Main Court initially targeted him but now no longer did and was even quite considerate.

In the Task Hall, no one spoke rudely anymore.

Pang Wen also said that rumors about Gu An were everywhere in the Outer Peak.

Gu An didn’t care about this.

He asked them not to take it too seriously.

Otherwise, it could lead to trouble.

Pang Wen and the others nodded, saying they would be careful.

After they left, Gu An went to the logging forest.

As expected, he saw the newly constructed house at the edge.

It was a courtyard with six rooms.

Two on the left, right, and middle.

Currently, only the first room on the left showed signs of habitation.

Gu An walked over and knocked.

Finding no one answering and sensing no one inside, Gu An was quite surprised.

He then entered the logging forest and finally saw Yu Tu logging at the Thunder Wood site.

He looked mature, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

Quite sturdy.

His slightly dark complexion, while cutting, really made him look like a woodcutter.

Gu An didn’t disturb him but stood there watching him log.

Yu Tu, at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, would normally find cutting Thunder Wood a burden on his body.

But his body, like a spring well, continuously emitted vitality, nourishing itself.

This allowed him to withstand the damage from Thunder Wood.

Furthermore, his previous severe injuries seemed to make his body even tougher.

Was this a special constitution?

Gu An was a bit surprised.

If he hadn’t attained Primordial Spirit, learned the Qi Breathing Chapter, Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and used the Blood Evil Great Movement.

He might not have noticed.

The changes in Yu Tu were subtle.

But they indeed existed.

At the night logging yard, Gu An found it strange.

Why did Yu Tu, at the sixth and seventh levels of Qi Refining, not only not show weakness when cutting Thunder Wood but appeared more spirited as time went on.

His cultivation even improved.

In contrast, Junior Sister Zeng almost sustained foundational injuries.

But Yu Tu, not only unscathed, also advanced in cultivation.

In addition, he was only in his late teens or early twenties.

Such a talent could have been buried, probably because his natural talent was not portrayed well.

But his childhood friend must have seen it.

Otherwise, why suppress him so much?

Fearing that one day, he might rise abruptly.

While Gu An was pondering, a tree thunderously fell.

Just as Yu Tu moved to another tree to commence cutting, he turned his head and discovered Gu An.

He was first taken aback and then respectfully said, "Senior Brother Gu?"

"It’s me," Gu An nodded and approached, asking, "Are you healed?"

Yu Tu patted his chest firmly, saying earnestly, "Yes, I’m healed; I can continue logging."

Gu An sat down in front of the felled Thunder Wood and said, "Sit."

Yu Tu was a bit hesitant but still sat beside him.

"The Outer Peak is not a safe place; if one day you want to return to the Inner Sect, just speak to Pang Wen or Shu Ci," Gu An spoke.

The Outer Peak was actually quite safe; fewer people there than in the Inner Sect.

There were power struggles, but not as exaggerated.

But it was different for him.

Now, due to the Merit Hall, there were many favorable voices.

And the boost in reputation made many scheming individuals hold back.

Once he was back and this period passed.

Then the issues would gradually become obvious.

In addition, becoming a disciple of the Peak Master, he was probably going to be caught in some whirlwind.

Perhaps one day, that whirlwind would appear.

That too was dangerous.

Yu Tu immediately said, "I, I..."

He looked at Gu An, a strange light in his eyes, seemingly not wanting to leave.

Gu An didn’t say much else, just stated, "Before long you’ll be able to reach Foundation Establishment. You are a genius; it might not take many years before your cultivation surpasses mine."
