The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 157 Meng Qiewei: I am also a direct descendant

The heavy rain pattered softly, like a pleasant melody.

Meng Qie sat down slightly in the room, feeling the scent of the rain.

After the great war, it rarely rained.

The land was devastated.

Even with the nourishment of powerful cultivators here, they have only gradually recovered now.

In other places, it would take countless years to recover.

Rain also requires cultivators from the immortal sects to spread the immortal sect's spiritual energy.

The restoration of the immortal sects is far more complex than imagined.

After a moment of silence, Meng Qiewei asked, "Have they chosen anyone?"

"Not yet," Qingdai shook her head and said, "They think it's too early. It's just Foundation Establishment. No matter how outstanding someone is at Foundation Establishment, they can't really be considered a prodigy."

"Continuing to maintain good relations is the right thing to do."

"No one sends their direct subordinates right from the start."

"They think that young talents don't know the value of daily necessities when they're not in charge of the household."

Meng Qie hesitated for a moment, then said, "If I had to choose, I would definitely have to go there, right?"

Qingdai nodded: "If it really comes to that, then of course we need to, and not just one, but another prodigy will definitely be arranged as well."

"But it's still a long way off, so we can observe it for a while longer."

"Of course, those people outside think we should look for more sons-in-law."

Meng Qiewei didn't pay attention to these things, but asked instead, "If they want to go there, what channels will they use?"

Upon hearing this, Qingdai's expression changed instantly. She said, "Miss, the Immortal Sect is very strict. It's impossible for anyone on the list to go."

Is Miss going out?
Is the world about to change?
But the great order of the immortal sect cannot be changed.

Meng Qiewei glanced at Qingdai and casually said, "No need to worry. The Immortal Sect didn't give me a satisfactory explanation this time. As long as my power doesn't leave and even a wisp of my mind goes out, they will turn a blind eye."

"As long as it's done through legitimate and aboveboard channels."

"A perfectly legitimate reason will suffice."

Qingdai broke out in a cold sweat; it couldn't be that simple.

If it were that simple, why would the people on the list go to such lengths to sneak out?

The Magpie Bridge incident wouldn't have happened.

For a powerful person like Miss, if even a wisp of her divine power leaves her body, all her power will instantly transfer.

At that time, the immortal sects will definitely take drastic measures.

The trouble is immense.

“The immortal sects probably won’t take the risk,” Qingdai advised.

Upon hearing this, Meng Qie smiled slightly and said, "I didn't know before, but I do now."

Qingdai was taken aback and glanced at her mistress's brow.

The bright red patterns are extremely eye-catching.

Everyone knows that the young lady has gotten married, but no one knows who the groom is.

The same applies to the Immortal Sect.

They are curious, but they are unlikely to investigate on their own initiative.

That might offend the lady.

They don't intend to take risks against the immortal sects, but the immortal sects will take risks against them.

So despite their curiosity, no one dared to do anything reckless.

But if Miss goes out at this time, she must be going to see her son-in-law.

Qingdai felt that her mistress had always indulged them in contacting the Misty Cloud Sect and even supported anything the new prodigy did.

They also agreed to let them observe Tianjiao over there.

Maybe it's just to have a legitimate reason to go out.

We've been waiting for this day.

Not only that, the young lady would also push for the selection of the clan's most outstanding daughters to go out and explore.

then
They mingled with them and went out together.

After all, the young lady is also a direct descendant.

Although it was just a powerless wisp of god.

but.
It's easy to get into trouble.

"Miss, won't you reconsider?" Qingdai asked.

Meng Qie looked at the other person calmly, without saying a word.

Qingdai broke out in a cold sweat.

They were all taken advantage of by the prostitute.

The fact that the new prodigy sensed the destiny of a peerless genius might also be part of the young lady's scheme.

Then, we allowed the Immortal Sect to continue its previous misdeeds, making them feel the need for an explanation.

Everything then fell into place naturally.

But there's a prerequisite: the one who leaves via the Magpie Bridge is definitely not a young lady.

That's not a young lady. How did a young lady get married?
I can't quite tell the difference between Qingdai and Qingdai anymore.

But once the clan agrees to let the direct descendants leave, the young lady will definitely go with them.

Wait until the elders learn of this news.

They probably suffered from insomnia night after night.

She just hoped that things would progress slowly with the new prodigy, and she even hoped that Jiang Man would stop showing off his talent.

Otherwise, they'll be the ones suffering and toiling.

I never imagined that watching a play would get me so engrossed in it.

I wonder what kind of expression the new prodigy will have when he sees that the young lady has been sent away by him someday in the future.

Ugh!
Qingdai sighed inwardly.

The new prodigy has brought this upon himself.

If I come back, I'll probably be killed by those elders.

Finally, Qingdai poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying, "Miss, please have some tea."

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Jiang Man was completely bewildered when he received the mission.

This was the first time I'd ever seen someone offer Lingyuan a place to sleep.

And it only takes an hour.

Earn five thousand spirit resources in one hour.

Recalling Yunqian Division, they only received a few dozen spirit resources per hour.

Make a lot of money.

If it's available every day, what's the point of lacking spiritual energy?
The elixir of immortality is readily available.

When the other party quoted 5,000 spirit resources, he didn't dare to bargain, fearing that if he raised the price, the other party would disagree.

"So you're going to sleep tonight?" the old ox asked.

“I’ve accepted all the spiritual resources; it’s my job,” Jiang Man replied.

Work is for the purpose of self-improvement.

Five thousand spiritual resources would allow him to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Otherwise, how should he deal with Chang Qiwen if he comes a few more times?

He hadn't expected Chang Qiwen to send a collection notice yesterday.

The sect really showed no mercy, even demanding interest from him.

Even the top-ranked hospital among the three institutions won't waive interest.

However, Chang Qiwen said he could authorize him to submit the document next time the time is up and the person is not there.

What a good man.

He would have been even better if he hadn't mentioned charging half the interest later.

He originally had 20,000 spirit resources left, invested 18,000 resources over three months, plus the current 5,000, and then deducted 6,000.

There are still 37,000 left.

late at night.

Jiang Man looked at the night view, lay down on the bed he had never lain on before, and prepared to sleep.

I'm not used to it because I haven't slept for so long.

Subconsciously, I was reviewing what I had learned before.

It seems like such a waste of time for someone so young to fall asleep like this.

With such a high level of cultivation, how can you sleep soundly?
But the thought of gaining five thousand spiritual resources while asleep made Jiang Man think he could fall asleep.

However, he also took the statue.

Naturally, a drop of blood also dripped down.

Old Huang accompanied us the whole time, and it reacted to any problems.

After that, Lao Huang watched Jiang Man fall asleep.

Then something seemed to disintegrate and break off the statue.

A wisp of mist also emanated from Jiang Man's body.

Old Huang was somewhat surprised to see grass.

"A very ingenious method. It seems that it was not derived by the evil god himself, but was probably taken from some divine object."

Old Huang looked at it, but didn't seem to care too much.

So far, it has been able to confidently pull Jiang Man back.

But it will expose yourself.

Once they make their move, they truly won't be able to stay in the sect.

Jiang Man was fine when he came into contact with evil gods before because the evil gods he came into contact with were dead.

Dead evil gods pose little threat; they can even be controlled, studied, and exploited.

But it's alive and well.

The immortal sects cannot tolerate it.

Jiang Man had already fallen asleep, but he woke up soon after.

But not in his own dwelling, but in the pitch-black fog.

He looked around and saw lights ahead.

With a touch of curiosity, he stepped forward.

Such a change after lying down is unexpected.

Soon, he pierced through the fog and saw a dilapidated temple.

Simple and ordinary.

But there was a candle inside, flickering weakly.

It seemed like it could go out at any moment. After entering, Jiang Man saw a statue enshrined on the central altar.

It was exactly the same as the small statue he had received.

"This is the evil god?"

Jiang Man wasn't surprised. He looked around and found the words "Linghua Xianling" written under the statue.

"Is this the name of the evil god?"

Jiang Man was hearing about this for the first time.

However, he was curious about Lao Huang's name.

Then I looked around again.

The place wasn't very big to begin with, and Jiang Man quickly discovered a stone tablet.

It says "You can leave a message" on it.

Jiang Man was slightly surprised; she hadn't expected it to have this function.

After a moment's thought, he decided to leave his message.

Concealing one's identity is also extremely important here.

But Jiang Man didn't have time to deal with them.

So he left this message: "Jiang Man, Seventh Academy of Yunxia Peak, Wuyun Sect. If you need anything, come to me."

Clear and straightforward.

Therefore, the person they found must be a subordinate of the evil god.

That makes things simple for me.

As for how much he can earn, that's hard to say.

It would be better if they found out they betrayed me.

Either distance yourself from yourself, or come and teach yourself a lesson.

All of these are advantages.

Of course, he had discussed this with Lao Huang.

If Lao Huang didn't refuse, it means his safety is guaranteed.

When Lao Huang refused, he actually listened.

The peerless genius is still too young.

The reason I was fearless before was because I hadn't joined the evil god's organization, so it didn't have much of an impact.

Now, not only have they arrived at this place, but they've also written their own names down.

The nature has changed.

After writing these words, Jiang Man decided to wait and see if anyone would come in.

Of course, I still need to practice diligently.

Thus, Jiang Man continued his cultivation while waiting.

He didn't know until he started practicing, and once he did, he was stunned.

He felt the surrounding energy merging into his body, as if he had ingested a elixir.

Although I feel my mind is shrouded in mist, the progress is clearly visible.

“What a great place.”

Jiang Man sighed unconsciously.

Without hesitation, I began to practice visualization techniques to temper my spirit.

again and again.

As time passed, Jiang Man felt that the fog outside the house had thinned out a bit.

The candlelight grew ever brighter.

An hour later, Jiang Man finished his cultivation and felt that he was about to leave this place.

It's a pity.

Then he disappeared from the spot.

He opened his eyes very quickly.

The sky remained unchanged, filled with stars.

Old Huang asked, "What did you see?"

"Old Huang doesn't know?" Jiang Man sat up and looked at the old ox.

"This isn't the work of an evil god; it must have been obtained from some divine object. They must have some skill," Old Huang said while eating grass.

Jiang Man then explained the details.

"A dilapidated temple in the dark mist? And candlelight?" Old Huang pondered for a moment and said, "No one else?"

"No, but there is a stone tablet that can be used to leave a message," Jiang Man told him in detail.

He immediately asked, "What kind of place is that?"

"This special space must be from before the Great Rejuvenation of the Immortal Sect, and it must be the kind that's difficult to enter. Otherwise, the Great Rejuvenation of the Immortal Sect would have already extended into it," Old Huang said casually.

It lowered its head, took a bite of grass, and continued, "So, you left your name?"

Jiang Man nodded.

The old ox calmly said, "Are you really not afraid of someone coming after you?"

Jiang was surprised: "Didn't we discuss this before going to bed? You didn't refuse."

"Didn't you say that being a subordinate of an evil god is not as good as being a peerless genius like yourself?"

"Doesn't this mean you can handle it?"

The old ox grazed on grass, watching Jiang Man in silence.

Jiang Man stared at Old Huang, who was grazing, and remained silent.

Finally, Jiang Manyi gritted his teeth and cultivated even more diligently.

He decided to buy elixirs tomorrow to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible.

As soon as it was light, Jiang Man wrote a letter and left it in the room, saying that Ren Qian and the others would come and get it themselves.

He wrote down everything he saw yesterday.

Of course, he didn't mention that he was cultivating inside.

If it were known that sleeping doesn't affect cultivation, then I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to protect the five thousand spiritual resources.

Of course, I must say that I felt a sense of fog, darkness, and dread.

Talk more about the downsides of going in.

Next time it won't be just five thousand.

As for going back inside, it's unclear when that will be, as the statue seems to have run out of energy.

We need to keep accumulating them; I don't know how long it will take.

Ren Qian and the others were still startled when they saw the contents of the envelope.

Jiang Manke is the best in the Third Hospital.

Firstly, if their property is destroyed because of this incident, it would be a troublesome matter for them.

It's one thing if they didn't handle the evil god matter well, but it's another if they dragged down the strongest player in history.

Whether he got first place by staying up all night or by taking elixirs, it's still a rightful first place.

The first glory is always dazzling, no matter what.

Yunxia Peak couldn't protect the number one spot?

Is he the number one scourge to the outer sect?

That's going to cause a big problem.

Ren Qian sighed with emotion: "It seems that this matter cannot be rushed and must be taken slowly. However, the temple in that dark place is indeed the first one to be discovered."

“I will write the report. You take 5,000 from the remaining 45,000 spiritual resources and use them to buy some pills to send over.”

"Tell him that the impact on his mental state is a big deal, and that falling asleep is not a priority for now."

evening.

Jiang Man was overjoyed to receive ten Spirit-Strengthening Pills, but the other party said that the impact on his mind was a serious matter, and he would not be allowed to fall asleep and enter that place again for a short time.

Jiang Man felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

The impact has been overstated.

He knew that his mental state was greatly affected, but thanks to his strong will, he managed to pull through after taking a lot of pills.

But once it's written, it can't be changed.

This is a bitter pill to swallow alone.

Jiang Man didn't think much of it afterward.

It's early January now, and there are only six months left until the annual performance review.

His annual performance evaluation for the First, Second, and Third Affiliated Hospitals hasn't come through yet.

If we can only get into the fourth, fifth, or sixth wards, it's a waste of time.

It all depends on Mr. Yan.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Another location on Yunxia Peak.

Bai Fan arranged to meet with Duan Wu and Jiang Yingcai.

"What's wrong? Is there any new news about Jiang Man?" Jiang Yingcai asked.

Because Jiangman Third Hospital ranked first, they were absolutely certain that the other party was number 210.

Furthermore, once the sale was announced, no one dared to utter a word of dissent.

Jiang Man's performance was simply breathtaking.

Even though he stayed up all night.

But first place is first place, who cares if he stays up all night or not.

Anyway, he was number one before he advanced to the Golden Core stage.

Even though I failed to get promoted, I'm still number one and have to keep others in check.

"The annual performance review process has already begun recently," Bai Fan said.

Upon hearing this, Duan Wu comforted him, saying, "It's alright. You've accumulated a lot of experience, and you've mastered all the techniques. Although your cultivation levels are similar, you have a huge advantage."

"If we were to face him, we might not be without a fighting chance."

Jiang Yingcai nodded: "We are now in the Third Hospital, it would be a pity if we didn't run into them."

Bai Fan looked at them and said, "Is it really a pity?"

The two nodded.

"Do you also want to meet Jiang Man?" Bai Fan asked again.

The two nodded.

Finally, Bai Fan smiled and said, "Then your wish will come true. I heard that Jiang Man's teacher has already applied for the annual assessment of the First, Second and Third Academies for him."

"It's just waiting for the higher-ups to review it."

For a moment, the two of them were stunned.
