The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 143 Can Staying Up All Night to Cultivate Make You Stronger? I Don't Believe It

Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman?
Jiang Man was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, there will probably be a lot of people eyeing you. They all want you to become one of their own. No one here dares to take a hard line, but there are plenty of softer methods," Zhuo Bufan kindly reminded him.

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and asked, "Will prices rise?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Bufan was taken aback.

Shouldn't you ask how a stunningly beautiful woman would make her move?
Why are you asking about prices?
What does this price refer to?
Jiang Man said it was elixirs and such.

After all, that's exactly what he needs.

Zhuo Bufan's answer was simple: it wouldn't rise.

Prices tend to rise more easily in small places; sects don't lack things like pills.

There are many minor skills to choose from, unless a major event occurs that affects the entire sect.

Otherwise, the price of elixirs used for cultivation would be the most fixed.

This signifies the stability of the sect's foundation.

If price fluctuations do occur, it's either inflation or something major is about to happen.

Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief.

Then it's nothing.

"Aren't you worried about the stunningly beautiful woman?" Zhuo Bufan couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Man looked at the other person and said truthfully, "Ordinary women can't even hold their heads up in front of my Daoist partner."

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Bufan felt relieved.

But as he nodded, he paused, then asked, "Your Daoist partner?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Man looked at the other person and said truthfully, "I'm already married."

Zhuo Bufan was shocked.

They were even more shocked than when Jiang Man pulled them over to challenge everyone by himself.

Jiang Man actually has a Daoist partner?

who?

"You're so strong, is it because you have a Daoist partner?" Zhuo Bufan asked.

There are many poor people with great talent, but these people usually lack resources.

There are too many things missing; the concept of "foundation" cannot be explained by spiritual resources alone.

Instructions on techniques, understanding of cultivation methods, and methods of practice can save people from taking many detours.

Even if Jiang Man is a genius, he still needs these things, so where can he get them from?

Now it seems, she must be his Daoist partner.

Jiang Man remained silent for a moment, and was just about to explain when Zhuo Bufan interrupted him.

“I know there are some things that are difficult or inconvenient to say, so you don’t need to,” Zhuo Bufan said immediately. “I came here to remind you of this matter. It’s almost time for me to go back to my cultivation.”

Zhuo Bufan then left.

Jiang Man looked at the old ox: "Old Huang, has he misunderstood something?"

"Is there a misunderstanding?" the old ox replied casually.

"I feel like all my efforts have been credited to others," Jiang Man said with some emotion. "Meng Qiewei didn't do anything either."

"I brought you back to your senses, but I haven't done anything yet?" the old ox muttered casually.

Jiang Man shook his head. The day after tomorrow is September 1st.

Chang Qiwen and the others should be arriving soon.

This time, there really is no spiritual source left.

Fortunately, we can collect the resources in one day.

It still adds up to ten thousand.

There is still some flexibility in settling interest payments. Last time, I borrowed for a year and received interest payments every six months.

It was relatively easy.

Now I need to find a way to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, and then when I advance to the Seventh Academy, I will try to challenge the First, Second and Third Academies.

Once you obtain the secret technique you desire, then find a way to become a Golden Core Ancestor.

The ancestor was twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

Before he could even begin cultivating, Jiang Man saw a woman dressed in black robes arrive in front of his courtyard.

She looked around cautiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was around.

When Jiang Man put down the cloak, he realized that it was Senior Sister Yu.

"Senior sister, what's this?" Jiang Man pointed to the black robe.

"It's alright, it's all thanks to you." Yu Wanyi shook her head and sighed, "It's just that my health is weak and I can't handle it."

Jiang Man remained silent.

Didn't understand.

"Here you go. This is a secret realm training opportunity that I obtained from my master. It's not for geniuses, but for the Foundation Establishment disciples' backyards and the inner sect disciples' backyards."

"Luckily I applied in advance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to apply once your ranking came out," Yu Wanyi said quickly. "This secret realm will be beneficial to your combat experience, allowing you to gain enough experience. Most importantly, you can feel your physical strength through actual combat, which will greatly benefit the later fusion of powers."

"After all, it won't be long before you obtain all the superior techniques in the series."

"The time spent polishing our equipment cannot compare with that of the First, Second, and Third Affiliated Hospitals."

"In addition, this secret realm has no cultivation techniques, only spiritual resources."

"The secret realm will open at noon on September 1st."

Yu Wanyi then informed me that this time I was the team leader, and the responsibility was significant.

Furthermore, almost none of the people who enter are geniuses who are ranked number one in the year, but each of them is a seasoned veteran who has honed their skills.

Be extremely careful.

Then Senior Sister Yu left quickly.

Jiang Man didn't even have time to ask for the advance payment, nor did he have time to ask the questions he wanted to ask.

"So you're in such a rush?"

Jiang was puzzled.

But once they've left, they've left.

He held the iron token with a strange feeling: "What is this thing? A training realm? Even geniuses can't go there?"

Jiang Man asked the old ox.

The answer was simple: the immortal sects were in great order, and dangerous places were either expelled or sealed off and guarded.

"Stability under a well-governed society naturally comes at a price."

"The so-called training and experience is roughly what these kinds of places are like."

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Is it dangerous?"

"It's not dangerous, but it's easy for evil spirits and heretics to exist there," the old ox replied.

Jiang Man asked in surprise, "Old Huang is also from these places?"

The old ox remained silent for a moment, then finally shook its head.

Jiang Man then inquired about the situation in these places.

The answer was simple.

The immortal sect is in great order; they won't send him directly to his death.

However, there are also certain risks involved.

After getting a general idea, Jiang Man asked another question: "Is there anything special over there?"

The old ox didn't answer, for a simple reason: it didn't know where Jiang Man had gone.

Nature cannot provide any answers.

However, it said that its power would not be noticed by the sect in such a place.

We can leave something on Jiang Man.

Ensure safety.

Jiang Man immediately bowed and thanked his senior.

Old Ox glanced at Jiang Man indifferently and said, "Your wife's power may also extend there."

Jiang Man was stunned; that was definitely not good news.

Jiang Man didn't care about this; the old ox would figure something out.

There was nothing he could do.

He was still looking forward to the training grounds because they contained spiritual resources.

Two days later.

September st.

Jiang Man did not see any stunningly beautiful woman approaching.

It's unclear whether Zhuo Bufan's information is accurate.

Chishui Peak.

Jiang Man arrived early in the morning.

We need to enter the secret realm at noon, otherwise there won't be enough time if we don't come early.

At this time, Little Fatty and his friends had just opened their shop.

When they saw Jiang Man, they were both stunned.

"Brother Jiang, why are you here so early?" Little Fatty asked with a look of surprise, a piece of jerky dangling from his mouth.

Her body shape hasn't changed much, except her dark circles are a bit deeper.

Finally, Jiang Man's gaze fell on the dried meat.

That wicked rich kid.

I haven't eaten meat in a long time.

They replenish their qi and blood while cultivating, and then eat some brown rice and steamed buns.

It's hard to imagine that a peerless genius in the late Foundation Establishment stage is still eating steamed buns.

"Brother Jiang, here's some freshly roasted jerky, you should try it." Little Fatty handed Jiang Man a piece of jerky.

Jiang Man took the dried meat and remarked that Little Fatty was truly a good friend.

"Chang Qiwen and the others haven't arrived yet?" he asked.

As the chubby boy carried the medicinal herbs, he said, "They'll be here in a while."

Jiang Man has been occasionally learning about elixirs lately.

He frowned as he looked at where the chubby boy had placed them, saying, "Ganling Grass and Silk Cloud Vine don't mix medicinally; they'll react negatively and may even produce trace amounts of toxins. They can't be placed together."

Upon hearing Jiang Man's words, Little Fatty immediately separated the two kinds of medicinal herbs.

"The medicinal properties of Ganling Grass and Shuijing Flower can be combined, which can add moisture to the spiritual energy and benefit the growth of surrounding spiritual herbs. Also, judging by the arrangement is completely meaningless. You are doing it this way."

Jiang Man said that Little Fatty should move again. Luo Xuan looked at him in shock and then quickly wrote down what Jiang Man said.

When he got excited, Jiang Man personally helped Little Fatty move the medicinal herbs.

After all the medicinal herbs were arranged, he said, "From now on, you can arrange them like this. Put any extras on this open space."

Jiang Man clapped his hands and said, "The spiritual energy is much denser now."

Luo Xuan could feel it; the spiritual energy was indeed more concentrated.

She had been in the sect for two years, so she naturally had some understanding of these things.

This is a fusion of pharmacology and formation techniques.

Normally, people like them wouldn't be able to get in touch with this kind of person, let alone make things like this.

"Brother Jiang, you're amazing!" Little Fatty exclaimed in shock. "No wonder your wife married you."

That sounds nice, but she did it voluntarily.

I was tricked by Lao Huang.

Of course, I am also a victim.

Of the three, he was the most pitiful, because his destiny as an unparalleled genius was constantly chasing after him.

It's very easy to die suddenly.

Chang Qiwen and his group arrived shortly afterward.

Song Qing said excitedly, "Young Master, I've become a guard of the Cloud Guard."

Little Fatty was a little surprised, and even Luo Xuan couldn't help but look over.

"Aren't you working for my dad?" the chubby boy asked.

“Do it on both sides,” Song Qing said.

"Isn't this dangerous?" Little Fatty said.

"Given my background, it's already quite good that I have so many things to do and enough spiritual resources to earn. There aren't that many dangers either. I'm at the sixth level of Qi Refining, so I can barely handle it," Song Qing said with a smile. "But young master, you should be careful. If you don't work hard, you might not be able to protect the family business in the future."

"However, I did encounter difficulties when I first went in."

"The past is too painful to recall."

Then Little Fatty gave them some dried meat, and Jiang Man and the others sat down, listening to Song Qing recount his past.

While they were chatting, someone suddenly brought over some tea.

The group looked over and saw that it was Luo Xuan, so they all stood up.

Only Jiang Man remained seated.

"Miss Luo, what are you doing?" Little Fatty was very scared.

Chang Qiwen and Song Qing were even more frightened.

They always felt that they were not on the same level as Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan should be the kind of rich young lady.

Unlike those mediocre people.

Jiang Man took the opportunity to eat a few more pieces of dried meat.

I don't know when I'll be able to eat it again.

After all, they were to set off for the secret realm at noon, and they would need to start taking pills to cultivate and replenish their qi and blood.

Luo Xuan simply said it was tea she brewed casually during her free time.

Then left.

Little Fatty breathed a sigh of relief, then started complaining again.

He said that he was always being watched by Luo Xuan, which made it inconvenient for him to do anything, as his father could easily find out.

Even after you're out, you don't have freedom.

Jiang Man felt that Xiao Pang hadn't suffered enough.

Afterwards, Little Fatty asked Song Qing why he became a guard in the Yunqian Division.

Song Qing said he was recommended by Chang Qiwen, and he had already resigned from his job as a guard.

Jiang Man and Xiao Pang looked at Chang Qiwen.

At this moment, Chang Qiwen took out the sect token: "Now I am a member of the sect's messenger team."

He reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and successfully joined the sect as a messenger.

Little Fatty was shocked.

So he's getting the same treatment as him?

The Gao family worked so hard for so long to finally send him here.

To celebrate, Little Fatty brought out extra meat.

She also said that in the past, she would be watched even if she ate too much, and that she was not as well off as Yun Qiansi.

He wanted to become stronger and break free from his family.

Everyone was silent.

Afterwards, Jiang Man gave Song Qing and Chang Qiwen six months' interest.

Song Qing received 1,000, and Chang Qiwen received 750.

Song Qing didn't give Lingyuan this time; he had just become a guard of the Cloud Front Division and needed to improve himself.

Chang Qiwen had just entered the sect, so naturally he needed spiritual resources.

Jiang Man is not in a hurry to buy pills to improve his strength.

Afterwards, Jiang Man told them how to stay up all night.

As for cultivation, Lao Huang has already written books for them, so there's no need for him to teach them.

In addition, Jiang Man allowed Xiao Pang and Chang Qiwen to repeat the course.

There is hope in building a foundation.

When he left, Little Fatty secretly gave Jiang Man fifty Qi and Blood Pills.

He said this was what he hadn't used up in the past few days.

He deliberately asked for more than he needed, and saved up the rest.

Jiang Man sighed, "Good friend."

But I still can't bear to see you go back to enjoy your life.

After Jiang Man left, Gao Rong and Luo Lu came over.

Gao Rong found Xiao Pang and asked him about Jiang Man.

Little Fatty told him the truth, saying that the person had just gone back.

For a moment, Gao Rong felt somewhat melancholy.

Luo Lu looked at Luo Xuan somewhat awkwardly and asked, "Did you lend the spiritual source to Jiang Man?"

Luo Xuan shook her head.

not at all.

It wasn't that I listened to what the other person said.

Jiang Man doesn't seem to be in a hurry to use the spiritual source.

If he's in a hurry, Little Fatty will come to her to borrow it.

Luo Lu, however, had a different feeling. She thought that Luo Xuan hadn't lent the money because she listened to her.

"Actually, you can borrow as much as you want." Luo Lu regretted her decision.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan was somewhat surprised: "What happened?"

She must have told him what happened to make her cousin, whom she had previously avoided, so regretful.

Luo Lu truthfully informed him: "The rankings of the Seven Peaks have been released."

Upon hearing Jiang Man's achievements, Luo Xuan didn't show much expression.

Because they had all experienced something like that.

One man defeated the entire Yunqian Division.

It's just a different place now.

Luo Lu asked Jiang Man if he had any cultivation techniques.

Luo Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "Does staying up all night count?"

"Staying up all night?" Luo Lu was somewhat surprised.

Isn't staying up all night to study harmful to one's mental and physical health?
That doesn't count, does it?

However, the news of his staying up all night to cultivate had already spread throughout the seven outer peaks.

Everyone knows that the Eighth Academy of Yunxia Peak is staying up all night to cultivate.

But they couldn't understand why staying up all night to practice could get them first place.

Logically speaking, his mental state should have been damaged long ago.

Then they checked the rankings of the Eighth Hospital.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

First, the Cloud and Mist Peak is full of rivers.

Third, Yunxia Peak is truly extraordinary.

Eighth, Yunxia Peak Forest Green Mountain.

Ninth, Zhao Yaoyao from Yunxia Peak.

Thirteenth, Yunxia Peak, Wei Beichuan.

Five out of the top fifteen spots were taken by the eight academies of Yunxia Peak?

Four out of the top ten?
The entire Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Academies were in an uproar.

This is not reasonable.

Yunxia Peak has the fewest wealthy people, so why is it ranked so highly?

If there is a problem, there must be a problem.

Some investors also took immediate action; in short, someone had to be held accountable for this incident.

The first to be affected were naturally the instructors of the Eighth Academy of Yunxia Peak.

Yan Yiqiu.
