The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 125 Secretly Crossing the Magpie Bridge to Kill the Son-in-Law

In the rustic courtyard, several weeping crabapple trees were shedding their petals in a flurry. Wisps of steam rose from the celadon teacups on the stone table, and a light blue skirt spread out on the bluestone bench, swaying gently in the breeze.

Meng Qie slightly raised her eyebrows and glanced at the doorway, but didn't pay any attention.

As she picked up the teacup, half of her frost-covered wrist slipped down her wide sleeve, her fingertips almost transparent in the sunlight.

The moment she lowered her eyes and took a sip, Qingdai was already standing behind her, waiting respectfully.

Meng Qiewei drank her water without a care in the world, and nothing could affect her actions.

After a long while, she slowly put down her teacup and looked down at the table.

"Isn't it too hot for you, Miss?" Qingdai asked.

At this moment, the frost in the teacup melted, and Qingdai fell silent.

Meng Qiewei remained silent, waiting for the secret realm to open.

The trap has been set, so everyone wants to know the outcome.

Perhaps we really can find it.

We can see what tricks they'll pull then.

"What has that prodigy been up to lately?" Meng Qiewei asked.

"It's still at the Misty Cloud Sect. They say a portion of the secret realm has already opened, and it will be fully open in a few months. Many people will enter then, and perhaps they'll be able to discover something entirely new." Qingdai poured Meng Qiewei a cup of tea and continued, "Miss, you've been to that secret realm before. Are there really hidden areas?"

"Yes," Meng Qie said softly.

Upon hearing this, Qingdai asked in surprise, "Then why not let them go in and seize the opportunity?"

Meng Qiewei did not answer.

Then she inquired about the Magpie Bridge.

"It seems they haven't found much. The Immortal Sect is currently checking personnel, including Miss. They will come to check if Miss is in the manor soon," Qingdai said.

She paused for a moment, then continued, "We first checked the imprisoned heretics, but we didn't find any missing or their original bodies were gone."

"I also didn't notice anyone who was weak."

"So we have to investigate more people."

"However, the fairy who was knocked unconscious has already sent people away from the immortal sect to find the location of the Magpie Bridge from back then."

"It's highly unlikely that it will be found."

After a pause, Qingdai asked, "The young prodigy of the clan found the Misty Cloud Sect while searching for his destiny. Does that mean that the young master is buried there?"
"Was the son-in-law killed in the Misty Cloud Sect?"
"If that's the case, does it mean that the person who knocked out the fairy is Miss?"

"So you went there specifically to kill the son-in-law?"

After saying that, Qingdai stared at her mistress.

However, nothing could be seen on the young lady's face.

Only indifferent eyes.

It's a pity I guessed wrong.

Meng Qie glanced at Qingdai and asked, "Where is the information on the evil god I requested?"

Qingdai immediately took out the information and said, "There are actually not many who have been designated as evil gods by the immortal sects, but each of them has terrifying power."

"The other evil gods are much worse."

"Recently, the Immortal Sect conducted a verification process, and I took the opportunity to record the list."

"However, I feel something is strange. It seems that the Immortal Sect has not checked the evil god at the deepest part."

"I wonder if they will go deeper into the area after checking the names on the list."

"I heard that three of the Ten Evil Gods are imprisoned inside."

Meng Qiewei picked up the teacup and tried it again, saying, "It's too bitter."

"Wait a little longer, it will have a sweet aftertaste." Qingdai said, pouring another cup of tea.

Meng Qiewei put down her teacup, not continuing to drink: "Are there any new rumors about them lately?"

Qingdai shook her head.

The person hasn't been found yet, but once they are, there will probably be new rumors.

It all depends on the situation with the new generation of prodigies.

It took Jiang Man two days to complete one round of cultivation.

The Seven Stars Condensation Method is indeed difficult to cultivate, but fortunately it is a method for cultivating condensed essence.

It would be troublesome if it were a sword cultivator or a body cultivator using the Qi Condensation Technique.

He has no intention of switching to another major.

This amount of spiritual energy is far from enough.

After running the exercise once, Jiang Man could feel changes in his body, but since it was only the first time, he hadn't yet mastered the basics.

One more time should be enough.

There are thirteen floors in total.

I don't know how long I'll need to cultivate before I can reach my peak.

After that, Jiang Man did nothing else and continued his cultivation.

After one round.

Introduction to the Seven Stars Condensation Technique.

After four times.

Second floor.

After eight times.

Three floors.

Jiang Man continued to practice, but because he had just learned it, he couldn't practice it many times a day.

Fortunately, the speed is improving.

The next day.

The Sixth Layer of the Condensation Method.

Day three.

The Seven Levels of the Condensation Method.

fifth day.

Eight floors.

The eighth day.

Nine floors.

Jiang Man calculated that it would still take quite some time.

Even if the speed is increased again and again, there is still a limit to the improvement.

Even with his talent, it would take him about a month to advance a high-grade Qi Condensation Technique to the thirteenth level.

If it were even stronger.
can not imagine.

However, he could seek out some divine objects and touch them.

Perhaps it can awaken a higher talent.

After eating something, Jiang Man planned to continue his cultivation.

But someone delivered a letter.

Jiang was curious, since there shouldn't be any competition related to him at this time.

Jiang Man was stunned when he opened the envelope.

It says on the door that he owes 6,300 yuan in rent.

Tell him to submit the payment as soon as possible; if he does, it can be ignored.

Jiang Man fell silent.

Forty thousand minus six thousand three.

There are 33,700 left.

I still need to find time to add the identification of spiritual herbs and exchange them for spiritual resources from my master.

It's still some kind of income.

-

Yunqian Si.

Gao Rong led his men back to Yunqian Division.

"You have about four days. You need to meet here in four days and I'll take you back. If you can't make it, you'll have to find your own way back," Gao Rong said to Xiao Pang and the others.

There were only four of us when we came back this time.

Gao Rong rode his sword with Xiao Pang, Luo Xuan, and Cheng Yu.

Everyone nodded.

Little Fatty said he was going back first, and Luo Xuan also said goodbye.

After bowing respectfully, Cheng Yu went inside the Yunqian Division.

This piqued Gao Rong's curiosity.

However, he didn't think much of it; he had to go in anyway.

The other party was merely a Qi Refining cultivator, posing no threat to him whatsoever.

There's no need to take them seriously.

But there was no malice intended.

Having encountered Jiang Man made him cautious.

Although Jiang Man was not ranked this time, another Fang Yong has reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

This made him feel that he still needed to be careful.

What if it's a trap?

He would feel bad about spending more than 10,000 spirit resources.

However, he was soon surprised to find that Cheng Yu had gone directly to Mr. Yun Qiansi's office.

He followed them inside.

Fu Yidan happened to be inside at that moment and was somewhat surprised to see Cheng Yu: "Cheng Yu? What brings you here?"

"Greetings, Mr. Fu. I'm here to see the dean." Cheng Yu bowed respectfully.

"It's difficult to see the dean," a kind gentleman next to me said. "You can first tell me your identity and purpose of this visit."

Cheng Yu took out the token.

Upon seeing the token, the man stood up abruptly and said, "Miss Cheng, come with me."

Gao Rong, who was behind them, was astonished.

This isn't simple either?
What's the story behind the people Little Fatty knows?

However, he didn't pay attention, as someone had already come to greet him.

Not long after, Cheng Yu came out.

"Should I have someone escort Miss Cheng home?" The dean personally saw her out. Hearing this, Cheng Yu was somewhat surprised; the other party was offering to help her.

However, she shook her head and refused: "I need to go to other places to complete my mission, so I won't go back. But if it's convenient, I hope the dean can send someone to help me send some things back to my mother."

The dean nodded: "No problem."

Cheng Yu then left.

The dean remarked with considerable emotion, "Although she didn't join a sect, it's still quite good. Moreover, she was able to obtain a token for support, so the people above her treat her quite well."

After that, he sent someone to deliver the items.

The people who went were not chosen randomly.

At least express your attitude.

The owner of this keepsake is destined for greatness.

-

After leaving Luoyun City, Cheng Yu headed deep into the mountains.

She rode away on a spirit steed.

I brought a lot of things.

after one day.

She arrived at a simple and dilapidated mountain village.

There are some farmlands here, and many people are busy working in them.

When she entered the village, she saw some dark-skinned and thin children playing.

The children were all curious and surprised when they saw her.

They had never seen such a glamorous and impressive person before.

It arouses curiosity and envy.

Some of the bolder children even went closer, their eyes fixed on the fiery spirit steed, unable to look away.

But he only dared to take two steps closer; he wouldn't dare to get any closer.

That's not something they can have here; if you offend them, you'll get whipped.

At this moment, Cheng Yu dismounted from the spirit horse, took out some food, and looked at the child, saying, "Do you want to help me carry things? If you do, you'll get something to eat."

"I won't let you help me for nothing."

At first, the children were afraid.

Cheng Yu struggled to unload the items and said, "It's too heavy. Aren't you going to help?"

“Our hands are dirty,” one of the older children said quietly.

Cheng Yu looked at the things that had fallen to the ground and said, "They're already on the ground, now they're even dirtier. Will you mind if they're dirty?"

“We don’t mind,” someone immediately said. “Do you really mean we’ll give you food if we help?”

"Really." Cheng Yu nodded with a smile.

Then a few children carefully came over to help.

The children then became bolder.

After Cheng Yu told him the location, he had someone lead him there.

Cheng Yu is different from the people in the village.

So wherever she went, it was as if a unique light flashed by.

It drew the attention of everyone working in the fields.

She wondered which wealthy young lady from the city was here.

She was shocked to see her own child helping to move things.

He quickly dropped his things and ran over.

I was afraid of offending this young lady.

Their village is poor, extremely poor.

We simply can't afford to pay the compensation.

The young ladies in the city generally have higher cultivation levels.

They were no match for them either.

But when they got there, they found that Cheng Yu had already stopped.

She looked at the simple, even drafty house and remained silent.

This is Fang Yong's home.

"Miss Cheng?" A middle-aged man asked in surprise.

If Jiang Man were here, he would recognize that this was the steward Fang he had met back then.

"Uncle Fang," Cheng Yu said with a smile, "Where's Aunt Fang?"

At this moment, two children, about five or six years old, walked out from behind Butler Fang.

A man and a woman who look somewhat alike.

They stared at Cheng Yu, feeling they had never seen such a beautiful person before.

Butler Fang wiped his hands and said carefully, "Miss Cheng, what brings you here? This place is a bit dirty and messy, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

"Fang Yong sent me. He can't leave his cultivation, so he asked me to bring these things." He pointed to the things the children had brought and said, "Those things are all..."

By this time, the area was already surrounded by people.

They were all quite pleased when they heard that the items were sent by Fang Yong.

"Sister, sit down." The little girl, who had just been hiding behind Fang's father, stumbled over and brought a chair for Cheng Yu.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Fang was startled and immediately picked up a chair to wipe it clean, saying, "The child is ignorant."

Cheng Yu patted the little girl's head and said, "Uncle Fang is joking. The little girl is very sensible."

At this moment, Fang's mother also returned, and she was surprised to see Cheng Yu.

They had previously encountered a monster attack in the mountains, and the monster helped them.

But how did I end up here?

Once Cheng Yu saw that almost everyone had arrived, he naturally explained why he had come.

It was all because Fang Yong was worried about his family.

Also.

She took out the spiritual source and handed it to Fang's father: "Fang Yong said that there is a child in the village who is about to reach the age to go to Yunqian Division. This is two years' worth of gold, and the rest will have to be saved up by the village."

At that moment, a man outside slapped the older child on the back of the head and said, "Kneel down now."

The older child was confused; he had just been moving things.

However, he still knelt down.

The village wasn't wealthy, so he actually couldn't afford to go to Yunqiansi.

He wasn't Fang Yong after all, and couldn't make people make up their minds.

Now, he can go.

Cheng Yu had intended to stay overnight, but felt somewhat uncomfortable being with them.

So she decided to finish her meal before leaving.

Because she needed to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Fang.

"How is Fang Yong?" Fang's mother asked cautiously during the meal.

“I sometimes mention you, saying you’re working too hard and don’t know how to take care of yourselves,” Cheng Yu said softly. “He also said that he’s focused on cultivation and has neglected you, making you work even harder.”

"He is determined to give you a good life and dares not slack off or make any mistakes."

"The more I invest, the easier it is to overlook you all."

Fang Yong often says that it is his good fortune to be your child.

“If you go to another village, no one will nurture him with such dedication.”

"He was even less likely to fail."

"There's no need for so much pressure. He's already done enough, no matter what," Fang's mother said, her eyes slightly moist.

“This is already very good, very good,” Mr. Fang repeated.

After chatting for a while and seeing that things were about right, Cheng Yu decided to leave.

Just as I stepped out, I saw two people flying away on swords in the sky.

This surprised her somewhat.

How could someone be flying on a sword at this time?

“They showed up a few days ago, seemingly looking for something,” Mr. Fang said.

Cheng Yu was somewhat puzzled. Not a member of the sect?
She hadn't heard that the sect had sent anyone out.

-

Luofu.

When Luo Xuan returned, her father was waiting to greet her at the door.

"You're back?" Luo Huaili asked softly.

Luo Xuan immediately approached and asked, "Why is Father standing here?"

"I heard you were coming back, so I came to see when you would arrive. I saw you as soon as I came out," Luo Huaili said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan said, "Father, you don't need to do that next time. I will definitely come to find you as soon as I get back."

"How is life in the sect?" Luo Huaili asked.

Luo Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's very easy, there's no pressure at all."

It's really easy, and the training is fast too.

That place offers endless opportunities.

But she didn't think about it or fight for it; she just stayed there.

It made her feel more relaxed than ever before.

"How is everything at home?" Luo Xuan asked.

“Very good. With the Gao family’s intervention, the other families have no intention of doing anything. Everyone understands that the balance is hard-won, and now that the Gao family is maintaining the balance, they don’t want to break it easily.”

"Especially the Gao family, they were only helping out, without any intention of taking over."

"And that gave us time," Luo Huaili sighed. "The Luo family owes the Gao family far too much."

Luo Xuan was silent for a moment before saying, "I understand, I understand everything."

-

"You don't understand anything!" Gao Cunfeng whipped the chubby boy. "What did you even do at the sect?"
"I told you to study with Luo Xuan, and you stayed up all night practicing."

"I'm asking you to help Luo Xuan with her work so you can stay up all night cultivating."

"I asked you what Luo Xuan went to do, and you said you knew."

"Then I stayed up all night practicing."

"Stop right there, you've finally figured it out."
