The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 171 The more capable my husband is, the better I live.

Under the sparse sunlight filtering through the trees, Meng Qiewei sat back down in her chair.

Qingdai immediately poured her a cup of tea.

The latter remained silent for a moment, without saying anything more.

Qingdai, holding a teapot, said, "According to the new generation of prodigies, Jiang Man's Core Formation shouldn't be too slow, but it's uncertain whether it will go smoothly."

"I specifically looked up some relevant records about the Immortal Sect."

"It has been discovered that in the past two hundred years, those who stayed up all night during the Foundation Establishment stage have had difficulty advancing in their careers."

"Forming the Golden Core comes with additional risks."

"This originates from some fallen evil gods."

"It has invisibly condensed the outside world into a well. Although it is extremely blurry and has been interfered with and destroyed by the great supernatural powers of the immortal sects, staying up all night may cause one to fall into this well."

"Therefore, all records mention that staying up late damages the mind and spirit, which can affect the formation of the elixir."

"Although some people successfully formed their core, none of them were worthy of the talent they displayed."

"And that's what the new generation of prodigies are betting on."

"Break a new record? Ignore the influence left by the evil god?" Meng Qiewei asked.

“Yes, he’s betting that Jiang Man can overcome the problems caused by staying up all night to cultivate immortality and become the first cultivator to form his core in a normal state.” Qingdai pondered for a moment and said, “If the new prodigy wins, then Jiang Man will form his core no later than next year.”

"If he loses, then..."
"It seems the matter of finding a direct descendant for a marriage alliance will have to be put on hold."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qie lowered her head slightly.

Qingdai didn't dare to speak for a moment.

If this event is canceled, then the young lady will not be able to go out.

The plan failed.

This is actually a good thing.

But Jiang Man carries the young lady's hopes for going out. If he fails, I wonder if the young lady will hold a grudge against him.

Finding the next suitable prodigy to smoothly arrange a marriage is uncertain and will likely take a long time.

The new generation of prodigies will likely be labeled as incompetent.

However, if Jiang Man were to form his core in the best possible way under these circumstances, it would indeed be worthwhile for the clan to do something about it.

After all, he was the first person to do so.

If it's just a matter of ordinary cultivation progressing quickly, most people in the clan will still wait and see.

"If this fails, are there any other marriage candidates?" Meng Qiewei asked.

"And then there's Wei Ran, but his performance isn't as good as Jiang Man's, so it's unlikely he'll be able to arrange a marriage, at least not during the Foundation Establishment stage," Qingdai said.

Meng Qiewei sipped her tea, frowning slightly: "I hope Jiang Man can successfully form his core."

Qingdai dared not speak, for she did not want her young mistress to go out, for there was always unknown danger if she was not careful.

But why does she feel that her purpose in paying attention to New Prodigy has changed?

Wasn't the initial goal to find the son-in-law?

So where exactly is the son-in-law?
Dead or alive?

While she was thinking, she suddenly received a message from outside and immediately said, "Miss, people from the Immortal Sect have arrived, probably because of what just happened."

“Go ahead and see who it is. If their status is high enough, we can reveal some things first,” Meng Qiewei said calmly.

Qingdai understood that it was to reveal that her mistress was going out, so that the immortal sects could be prepared.

But the immortal sects are unlikely to agree.

After Qingdai left, she needed to see how the immortal sects would react.

After everyone left, Meng Qie slightly raised her hand, and a ball of light condensed in her hand.

The ball of light shone on her, then the light faded.

Then, Meng Qiewei's voice rang out: "Is my husband about to form his core? I wonder if he will be able to do so successfully."

"The more capable my husband is, the less gossip there will be in the clan, and the better I will live."

A few moments.

The ball of light then disappeared from the spot.

Meng Qiewei also broke away from gentleness.

Her gaze became indifferent.

Looking at the sky again, dark clouds began to gather, and rain began to fall slowly.

Mist Cloud Sect.

Chishui Peak, Alchemy Academy.

He Huai'an was too afraid to go out today.

Because the day the results are released is an easy time for him to be humiliated.

Therefore, in order to be able to refine pills properly later, he gave up going out.

As long as you concentrate on refining pills in your room, you won't be affected by anyone.

Even if his apprentice embarrasses him, it won't affect him in any way.

If you stay home, nothing will happen.

He even took a month off, during which he did not teach.

Therefore, no one can insult him if they want to.

Especially Mo Zainian, who lost face last time, he will definitely get his revenge this time.

However, he didn't blame Jiang Man.

After all, they had already saved face for him; it's just that this time it's harder to save face.

Of course, he would not forgive the other party for tricking him out of the pills.

Two different things.

Just as he was marveling at his own cleverness, Dan Tong ran in.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?" He Huai'an said with displeasure as he sipped his wine.

Dan Tong immediately said, "Alchemist, the results have been released."

"Hmm." He Huai'an nodded slightly and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

He was already mentally prepared, so there was nothing for him to worry about.

Dan Tong was surprised by He Danshi's composure, and then said, "I mainly looked at Jiang Man's ranking. He is ranked eighth on the individual list. All the people above him are the top talents of the academy. Now they have all left the Foundation Establishment front academy."

"Strictly speaking, Jiang Man is now the number one among the Seven Peaks."

"You're famous now!"

“I understand,” He Huai’an replied casually.

But soon, his hand holding the wine glass paused, and then he looked at Dan Tong in astonishment: "Jiang Man is the number one of the Seven Peaks?"

"Yes, the number one among the seven peaks, a true prodigy," Dan Tong said confidently.

Upon hearing this, He Huai'an stood up and walked outside.

"Where is the alchemist going?" Dan Tong asked curiously.

He Huai'an calmly said, "Go visit the other alchemists, build relationships, and visit them one by one."

the other side.

Wei Chuyao looked at the female alchemist in front of her and nodded emphatically: "Jiang Man's ranking is definitely high, at least in the top ten."

The female alchemist asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"

Wei Chuyao nodded: "Confirmed."

The female alchemist packed her things and went outside.

"Where is Master going?"

"I'm on a business trip. I'll be back next month."

"."

After the results were announced, the other alchemists either went on business trips and would return next month, or they went into seclusion to refine pills and would emerge next month.

In the courtyard, Jiang Man looked at the things on the table and felt quite emotional.

This time, he obtained two secret techniques.

The Purple Cloud Divine Light, Part 2: The Blazing Sun.

The second part of "Purple Cloud Divine Light": The Setting Sun.

After learning all three chapters, one can condense a complete spell, the Purple Cloud Divine Light.

It exceeded the limits of the Heavenly Heart Seal.

It can be used continuously, especially during the Golden Core stage, and possesses great power.

Besides the secret techniques, the only reward is handing over stones.

It is a bronze token, said to be a token for entering a special secret realm.

However, it can only be used after reaching the Golden Core stage.

Ranked eighth individually, I received an iron token, which is a qualification token for entering the advancement secret realm, as well as 30,000 spirit resources.

The team ranking reward is a qualification for the Qi Refining Secret Realm and three thousand spiritual resources.

Jiang Man was quite moved.

A qualification for the Qi Refining Secret Realm? That could sell for a lot of spiritual resources, right?
In any case, this was a huge profit.

He wouldn't mind participating in such a major competition every year.

However, whether he will be able to participate next year is another matter.

"Besides these rewards, there's this too." Mr. Yan placed a piece of paper in front of Jiang Man. "Sign your name, and on the fifteenth of next month, you'll be able to enter the Ascension Realm."

"But if you are not satisfied with the promotion method, you can continue to participate in the competition next year to compete for the qualification and try again."

"It's just that very few people can compete for a better promotion on their second attempt."

"Because this is not closely related to combat strength."

"And going in a second time will have some impact."

"So you'd better think about it for two days."

Jiang Man signed his name without hesitation.

Yan Yiqiu remained silent for a moment.

I feel that Jiang Man is somewhat reckless.

But it was just a feeling, because she had always felt that Jiang Man was reckless.

However, the result was obvious: she was short-sighted.

This time, it's most likely my own short-sightedness that's to blame.

With Jiang Man's matter resolved, Yan Yiqiu looked at everyone and said, "You are now all students in the Sixth Academy. Starting from the Sixth Academy, your cultivation progress will slow down considerably."

"To improve your score, you need to study your minor subjects diligently. "In addition, you can also earn spiritual energy through your minor subjects and obtain the corresponding resources for each minor subject."

"It will be beneficial to your subsequent cultivation."

"In addition, practical experience will gradually increase, and the same applies to minor courses."

Jiang Man didn't care about the Sixth Hospital's arrangements.

Since he was about to finish his journey at the Foundation Establishment Academy, there was no need to proceed step by step.

Of course, this is on the premise that you get good results a month later.

Otherwise everything is empty talk.

Obtain the advancement method in the secret realm, then return to advance.

At that time, he was already considered half a disciple of the inner sect.

Those who obtain the advancement method will almost certainly succeed in forming their core; it's just a matter of time.

But the difference between sooner or later can be significant, ranging from a few months to several years.

It depends on what law you can see.

Jiang Man wasn't sure about this either; he'd have to go back and ask Lao Huang.

He never expected to be exposed to the promotion law so soon.

After Mr. Yan finished giving his instructions, Jiang Man left the Sixth Hospital.

He went to Chishui Peak to see if Song Qing had left.

In addition, they also have to pay interest.

He now has 35,000 spiritual resources.

I can easily pay off the interest.

At this moment, Little Fatty was scratching his head, looking at the elixir.

Jiang Man walked over and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Little Fatty was startled and immediately looked up at Jiang Man.

Jiang Man was quite satisfied with the obvious dark circles under his eyes.

It's good to have to work hard and suffer.

"Brother Jiang, what brings you here?" Little Fatty asked, somewhat surprised. "I heard you're already the top outer sect disciple. Are you about to form your core?"

He heard it from his second brother.

When his second brother arrived, his expression and attitude shocked him.

It seems they were deeply impressed by Brother Jiang and realized what a legend truly is.

He was also curious.

Jiang Man nodded slightly: "Listen to me and cultivate diligently, and you will also have a chance."

Little Fatty felt that Brother Jiang was just making empty promises to him.

"Where are Song Qing and the others?" Jiang Man asked.

“Song Qing was a transport guard and went back with the team. He asked me to give this to Brother Jiang.” As he spoke, the chubby boy took out four thousand spirit resources.

Jiang Man accepted it, so with interest, he owed Song Qing a total of 24,000.

After that, he paid Xiaopang 6,000 and Luo Xuan 12,000, plus 3,000 in interest, for a total expenditure of 21,000.

There are 18,000 left.

"Where's Lao Chang?" Jiang Man asked.

"I'll let him know and have him come over," Little Fatty said.

Jiang Man nodded.

Then they asked Xiaopang about his troubles.

"This herb is being fostered," Little Fatty said, pointing to the somewhat withered herb in front of him. "Our method of raising it is correct, but for some reason, the more we raise it, the weaker it becomes."

"If we continue to weaken, we'll have to lose money."

"Luo Xuan went to Cheng Yu to ask for a solution."

Jiang Man looked down and saw that it was a flower-type spiritual herb with three-colored petals and some spots on them.

The flower has seven leaves, two of which show signs of drying out, as if it is lacking water.

Jiang Man touched it briefly and said, "The Three Yang Flower has three-colored petals and seven leaves. A small number of them have growth problems and grow to eight leaves, making it difficult for them to survive. They will die of dehydration within thirty days."

Thinking of these thoughts, Jiang Man reached down to the flower stem.

A small wound was found.

He showed it to Little Fatty.

After checking, the latter said, "Have I been scammed?"

Jiang Man nodded slightly: "Yes."

"How does Brother Jiang know so much about elixirs?" Little Fatty exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Man replied truthfully, "A peerless genius, no need to be surprised."

Little Fatty was silent for a moment, then said, "This person is really awful. I thought that all pretty people were good people."

"Pretty women all love to lie," Jiang Man kindly reminded him.

Little Fatty just lamented that they were going too far, even targeting small businesses.

“Your knowledge of medicinal herbs is insufficient; you need to learn more.” Jiang Man fumbled around for a moment and pulled out a book on identifying medicinal herbs from his person. “I’ll lend it to you for a few days so you can make a copy.”

Seeing this, Little Fatty didn't stand on ceremony.

Carefully put it away.

Then Chang Qiwen arrived.

The other person came in a hurry and left in a hurry: "This is my spiritual source. I have to go to work now."

Jiang Man watched the other party leave, looking travel-worn, and felt quite emotional.

Old Chang is destined for a life of toil and hardship.

However, before leaving, the other party said that they might need to collect a sum of spiritual resources in March.

Only after inquiring did I learn that his sister was already in the backyard of Yunqiansi.

If we get a spot in December, we'll need a lot of spiritual energy.

This time, he also asked Song Qing to send some spiritual resources back, hoping to have a chance to get a spot.

Upon learning this, Jiang Man was deeply moved.

Old Chang actually has a younger sister, so there seems to be hope that she can come to the sect.

"Actually, there is hope for Lao Chang's sister, because Lao Chang is in the sect and has Brother Jiang behind him."

"My father gave up many benefits to sign his sister. The resources are sufficient, and she is also very hardworking."

"The chances of getting a spot are higher than before," Little Fatty said.

Jiang Man nodded, no wonder Lao Chang was so tired.

I send money home very often; I've always done it this way.

Asking him for money means sending it back.

Jiang Man then did some calculations.

I owe Song Qing 24,000, Fang Yong 12,000, Chang Qiwen 18,000, and Xiao Pang 15,000.

Since it's a donation from the master, there's no need to repay it.

The total debt is 69,000.

Jiang Man was stunned after he calculated it.

How come the debt keeps piling up?

He now has 19,000 left.

From this perspective, even paying off debts is a difficult task.

But that's for the future; for now, let's focus on improving our power fusion.

There's only one month left.

Nineteen thousand spirit resources, plus six thousand next month.

Twenty-five thousand should be enough.

After that, Jiang Man said goodbye to Little Fatty.

Luo Xuan returned shortly afterward, bringing Cheng Yu with her.

"Young Master Gao, we meet again. Luo Xuan is so worried, do you know that?" Cheng Yu asked with a smile.

"I know, so I already have a plan," the chubby boy said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu was taken aback: "Young Master Gao has a solution?"

Then Little Fatty said in a serious tone: "The Three Yang Flower has three-colored petals and seven leaves. A small number of them have growth problems and grow to eight leaves. They are difficult to survive and will die of dehydration within thirty days."

"Come and touch it, we've been tricked."

Luo Xuan touched it and indeed discovered something amiss.

Cheng Yu was shocked: "Who did Young Master Gao consult?"

"Couldn't I have discovered it myself?" Little Fatty asked.

"How did Young Master Gao discover it on his own?" Luo Xuan asked curiously.

Little Fatty scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Look at this."

As he spoke, he took out a record of identifying medicinal herbs.

Luo Xuan looked surprised and immediately covered the book, saying, "Identification Record? It is said that only alchemists have it and it is never lent out. If it is discovered, the alchemist will punish the person who lent it out."

Little Fatty hadn't expected this either, and immediately said, "Brother Jiang gave it to me, saying I should make a copy."

Cheng Yu couldn't help but wonder, is this really her brother?
I lent it out casually.

Doesn't he just give a few words of explanation?
However, she never felt that she had made the wrong choice, because over the past few years, most of the people who were on good terms with Jiang Man were men.

He is truly responsible to his Daoist partner.

He had absolutely no intention of befriending any woman.

If anyone has any ideas, the other party will keep their distance.

Furthermore, she felt that choosing Fang Yong was the most correct choice.

Although Fang Yong might not think highly of him,
At least they won't be used or discarded carelessly.

She is very satisfied with her current life.

So she was genuinely moved, realizing how good Jiang Man was to Xiao Pang and the others.

Only after meeting people from outside the community can one truly understand how good Jiang Man is to them.
