The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 137 The Sun Is Right Beside Us

Chapter 137 The Sun Is Right Beside Us
Yunxia Peak.

The courtyard near the cliff was filled with spiritual herbs and medicines.

All spiritual herbs have their corresponding locations, and when their pharmacological properties are compatible, they can better gather spiritual energy.

At this moment, Jiang Man stood in the open space of the courtyard, feeling everything that was happening to his body.

The old ox stood at the edge of the spiritual herb, eating grass while looking at the person in front of it.

They were all waiting for something.

At this moment, Jiang Man could clearly sense the change in the destiny of the peerless genius.

May 15th.

It was the day his destiny caught up with him.

The Destiny Stone vibrated incessantly, and then a black and white stone appeared from it, slowly falling and settling in the Dantian.

At this point, the fate of the individual also returned to calm.

Jiang Man frowned.

This change was slightly different from what he had expected.

I thought it was three pills, but it turned into a stone.

He turned to look at the old ox and said, "Old ox, this time it's not a pill, it's a stone, black and white, about the size of my fist. I can only feel it, I can't take it out."

The moment the stone fell, he immediately began to sense it.

Naturally, they can also report the situation immediately.

Like a elixir, it can only remain inside the body.

The old ox remained silent for a moment, staring at Jiang Man with a strange look, and said, "Hundred Refinement Stone."

Jiang was surprised: "Hundred Refinement Stone?"

What is its function?
However, the old ox did not explain, but instead said to let's see what the next condition is.

Jiang Man stopped thinking about it and waited for his fate to change.

Before long, the destiny began to evolve into mysterious runes.

These runes were later deciphered into written form.

[A Destiny of Unparalleled Prodigy]

[As an unparalleled genius, you have already laid the first groundwork for your future fame. Cultivation has become a great asset to you, as natural as breathing and as ever. If conditions permit, you can practice eighty times a day, and within nine hundred days, you can enter the Seeking Law Mist and leave behind a crystal-clear image. After eight hundred and fifty days, the teleportation will automatically open.]

Failure will bring a backlash from fate.

[Damage to the foundation structure.]

Upon seeing this content, Jiang Man frowned slightly.

Has the peerless genius admitted defeat?
Eighty times?
Enough for anyone to cultivate?

Three different techniques, one for each person, eighty?
This time, we're entering a special secret realm again, but it's not a prelude to becoming famous.

I don't know what the difference is.

As for what the Glazed Treasure is, that's beyond Jiang Man's current knowledge.

Then he told the old ox.

"Eighty times is not enough?" The old ox looked at Jiang Man and chuckled. "You can try practicing the Condensing Yuan Technique and circulating your external energy now."

Jiang Man was filled with doubt as he began to operate the system.

This was commonplace for him.

But the moment it started operating, he felt a sharp pain in his body.

After running successfully for a week, I suddenly felt a hammer strike the rock.

A sharp pain shot through me instantly.

It almost made Jiang Man cry out in pain.

He was stunned for a moment.

"Eighty times a day?" Jiang Man looked at the old ox in astonishment.

The old ox smiled and said, "Is eighty times not enough? But with the Hundred Refinement Stone, cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort."

"This is a great thing for you."

"This will save some pills."

"But with the Hundred Refinement Stone, you can absorb pills faster. If you only focus on improving, you will consume more spiritual energy."

Then the old ox explained the Seeking Dharma Mist and the Crystal Body.

The Seeking Magic Mist can be found in many places; its purpose is to record magical techniques.

The faster you cultivate inside, the easier it is to record.

The Lapis Lazuli Method is for preparing for advancement.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised: "So, in other words, I can't advance within 850 days? My peerless genius destiny is holding me back."

The old ox looked at Jiang Man, remained silent for a long time, and finally took a bite of grass and ate it.

Jiang Man stopped thinking about it and focused on improving his strength first.

Pass the annual performance review.

As for the assessment in June, he didn't care much.

However, it's also good to see what level the other people in the same department are at.

After that, Jiang Man began to cultivate, but before he could cultivate, he would always be reminded of the excruciating pain.

But without much hesitation, if the path of a prodigy were easy, then anyone could walk it.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Man sat cross-legged and began a simple meditation, wanting to rest for a while.

He had only been running for one cycle when he lay on the ground, clutching his head.

Visualizing pain is also painful.

Moreover, the location of the pain is completely different.

The Concentration Method is for stomach pain, and the Visualization Method is for headache.

He made significant progress in his cultivation that day, accumulating a considerable amount of spiritual energy.

But he looked much paler.

Eighty times.

This peerless genius's destiny is truly extraordinary.

He was too young and too naive, thinking that his destiny had begun to take shape.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Man sensed the Hundred Refinement Stone and then activated the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books.

Finally, we got four characters.

What garbage.

Jiang Man shook his head, saying it was all insignificant.

What else is there to worry about?
Continue to practice.

However, he wanted to see where the pain would be if he practiced physical cultivation.

But after running it, it was discovered that it could not be tempered.

no response.

He immediately ran to ask the old ox.

"Only high-grade materials can activate the Hundred Refinement Stone, and the Glazed Technique requires complete tempering before it can be practiced," the old ox replied casually.

Jiang Man was silent for a moment, then said, "Is this all the difficulty of the Glazed Treasure Technique?"

The old ox squinted at Jiang Man and said, "Of course not."

"What else?" Jiang Man asked immediately.

The old ox smiled without saying a word and continued grazing.

Jiang Man felt suffocated and uncomfortable.

He doesn't finish his sentence.

Helpless, Jiang Man could only continue his cultivation.

Focus all efforts on improving the physical body.

It doesn't hurt after all.

Late May.

Jiang Man sensed that the cultivation gourd had accumulated seven layers through cultivation.

He also consumed a lot of elixirs during that time.

The cultivation speed has increased significantly.

These Refined Stones are indeed very useful.

I haven't gotten used to it even after all this time; all I can do is improve my ability to endure pain.

Even after consuming some pills, he still has 55,000 spirit resources.

Even if you pay off all the debts, you'll still have some left over.

The Eighth Academy.

Jiang Man sat in the first seat, and Zhuo Bufan next to him kept staring at him, the fighting spirit of which made Jiang Man feel strange.

“If he loses to you, his family might take back the resources,” Zhao Yaoyao said.

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Does the family require that you have to be number one?"

"Yes." Zhao Yaoyao nodded.

Jiang Man looked at Zhao Yaoyao and continued to ask, "Do you want the number one spot in the Seven Peaks and Eight Academies?"

Zhao Yaoyao was taken aback and said, "That's not necessarily true, but it should at least be the best in the courtyard."

"If the first place in the small courtyard is the first place in the seven peaks and eight courtyards, then what about the first place in the seven peaks and eight courtyards?" Jiang Man countered.

Zhao Yaoyao was taken aback.

I didn't know how to start for a moment.

“Don’t worry,” Jiang Man said calmly. “His resources will be back soon. Sometimes it takes time for the light to shine through.”

"Especially the direction from which the light shines."

"As it happens, the light will shine on all of you."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yaoyao asked, puzzled.

Cao Cheng said, "It's quite obvious, you missed the sun."

An Rong shook her head and said, "Always being second has made you lose your sense of awe. Sixth is not right, seventh is better."

Cao Cheng said, "Sixth place is still the best. I'll be sixth soon."

“If I had the support of a powerful family, after my ranking dropped this time, I would only do one thing when I got back,” Lin Qingshan said.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Bufan, Zhao Yaoyao, and Wei Beichuan all looked over.

"What is it?" Zhao Yaoyao asked.

Lin Qingshan smiled without saying a word.

Zhao Yaoyao gave 100 spirit resources. Zhuo Bufan and Wei Beichuan also gave 100 each.

"Why don't you come to us?" An Rong asked.

"Shut up, I've never seen anyone as brainless as you. One hundred spirit resources, how much can that increase your cultivation level?" Cao Cheng shook his head and sighed.

Lin Qingshan looked at everyone seriously and said, "Then we'll go back and brag about being number one, even better than Wei Ran from Peach Blossom Peak."

Why didn't he get first place in the first year?

"That's because he didn't participate before, giving others more opportunities. If he had participated, he would have been number one."

"Although they don't believe it, they will definitely pay some attention."

"As long as Jiang Man reaches the top spot."

"Your resources have been basically preserved, or even more."

"Our sun will rise higher and higher, and its light will shine on the entire outer door."

"We felt honored at that moment."

"And you are the people closest to the sun. Do you think your family will do everything in its power to nurture you?"
"The sun will never set, and we will surely shine brightly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cheng and An Rong clapped their hands.

Lin Qingshan looked at the two of them in astonishment. What are you doing?
An Rong smiled and said, "Um, can I cross out my name?"

Lin Qingshan said coldly, "No, that's a thousand spirit resources."

Jiang Man looked at Lin Qingshan with great emotion, thinking, "A genius."

Zhuo Bufan, Zhao Yaoyao, and the others remained silent.

I'm really thinking about this.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Jiang Man can get first place.

What if there is no first place?
It's important to understand that while being number one in the year is impressive, it doesn't mean you were number one initially.

There's always a sense that they lack reputation.

Especially when the first team had not participated previously.

But as long as you can get first place, you can at least keep some resources.

If you don't get first place, then you really can't keep anything.

It may even reduce the original resources.

Afterwards, Yan Yiqiu informed everyone that the assessment would be held the following June.

This is a good opportunity to test my score.

Jiang Man was also very curious about what her score was.

But it's definitely not low; it's time for fellow practitioners to experience it.

How bright light can be.

inner door.

Yu Wanyi threw the torch on the ground, shook her head and sighed, "It didn't catch fire. My senior uncle has learned his lesson. Let's run first."

She ran all the way back to her residence, and only after confirming that no one was chasing her did she breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

I've done this kind of thing too many times.

Most of them will be chased by things.

Sometimes it's a person, sometimes it's a spirit pet.

I've suffered losses before.

But the success rate is very high.

"Where have you been again?" Xia Jin's voice suddenly rang out.

Yu Wanyi was so frightened that she jumped up.

Upon seeing the newcomer, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Senior Sister Xia, you scared me."

"I've been sitting here the whole time, you just didn't notice," Xia Jin said, shaking her head and sighing.

"I'm going to light a fire for my senior brother to keep warm," Yu Wanyi replied.

Why are you so passionate about this?

"I don't know, Master has a reward."

"Does Uncle Xiang have a grudge against your master?"

"Yes, but I don't know exactly what it is. Anyway, Master doesn't like Xiang Shibo."

She paused for a moment, then looked at Xia Jin: "Senior Sister Xia, what brings you here?"

"It's June, and the annual performance review will be in a little over two months. How are your investment targets doing lately?" Xia Jin asked.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanyi shook her head: "I don't know. I've given him everything I could. The rest is up to him. I can't help him with anything."

"He must have performed very well."

"You haven't even paid attention to the rankings of the secret realms?" Xia Jin was shocked.

“I’ve followed it. Twenty-five, that’s quite tall,” Yu Wanyi replied.

"and then?"

"And then?"

"Number 210 is being taken seriously again, but unlike before, it seems that no one has suffered a loss at his hands this time, but some people are still targeting him."

"It's alright, they won't run into them, and targeting them won't help. Besides, they don't know who number 210 is, and even if they did, they wouldn't go to the Eighth Hospital."

Xia Jin shook her head and said, "They would never go to the Eighth Hospital, so do you think your investors might go to the Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Hospitals?"
"Doesn't he want the Cloud Mist Peak secret technique?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanyi suddenly remembered something and said, "Since the Ninth Academy didn't participate, the Eighth Academy has to take first place, and the Seventh Academy has to participate in the competition between the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Academies."

"If that's really the case, then they will definitely be targeted."

"So I need to tell him to avoid those people's sharp edge."

After a pause, Yu Wanyi shook her head: "We can't tell him to avoid those people's sharp edge."

Upon hearing this, Xia Jin was puzzled.

Yu Wanyi explained, "Jiang Manhui's first response to me was, 'Should I avoid their sharp edge?' That's it."

Xia Jin was taken aback and said, "Does your investment target not know the immensity of heaven and earth?"

“Yes, he thinks he’s invincible. I don’t know what his partner thinks, but we mustn’t give up on him,” Yu Wanyi said.

She's been helping to collect books lately, just waiting for a good opportunity to send them over.

Just secretly leave it by the door.

That way, no one would know who sent it, and Jiang Man wouldn't have to worry about losing face.

That's how boys are; they care about their image.

How can you win a girl's heart if you want to save face?

Now that they're a couple, there's no need to worry about saving face.

Every action will have a response.

“I’ll wait until his annual assessment is over before he goes out. Those people are watching him closely.” Yu Wanyi said after a moment’s thought. “I need to talk to my master again and see if there are any other resource-rich secret realms before I let him in.”

"To enhance his foundation."

"The competition for promotion later on was too fierce."

"Of the three advancement methods, even getting the second one is difficult, and the third one requires a perfect match of resources, talent, and methods."

We need to prepare early.

"With Jiang Man's help, I will definitely become the most dazzling investor on the other side of Xiaoshan Peak."

June 1st.

The assessment begins.

Jiang Man felt he handled this assessment with ease.

I will no longer find it as difficult to put pen to paper as I did before.

The two-day assessment went by very quickly.

Cao Cheng asked Zhuo Bufan how he did on the exam.

Zhuo Bufan calmly replied, "It's alright."

"That means you performed very well," Cao Cheng continued, "Are you confident you can take first place?"

An Rong also came over but didn't say anything.

Zhuo Bufan looked at them, and finally took out his notebook and wrote it down.
