The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 172 My Wife Sent Photos
Back at his lodgings, Jiang Man realized that he still had three eggs to sell.

However, he did not know the price of these eggs.

I don't know who to ask for help selling it.

The only person I could turn to was Senior Sister Yu.

I don't know if I'll be able to see them this time.

It's been a long time since we've seen each other.

In addition, he also gave Mr. Yan information about the evil god.

It's about rescuing Huo Bingzhi.

The other party does not seem to be an ordinary subordinate of an evil god.

At this moment, Jiang Man came to the old ox's side and inquired about the promotion method.

"You're starting to learn about the promotion system?" Old Ox was somewhat surprised.

Jiang Man nodded: "Next month I will enter the secret realm to compete for the advancement method. According to them, the advancement method is divided into the first method, the second method, and the third method."

"However, no one has explained the specifics."

Jiang Man really didn't know anything about these things, so he could only ask the old ox.

He felt that others probably didn't understand things as well as the old ox.

Perhaps Senior Sister Yu understands this better, but...
I don't know where he's been lately.

He should be alright.

"After the great restoration of the immortal sects, the advancement process is no longer the same as before. Each advancement has its own method. This applies to Foundation Establishment and Golden Core as well," the old ox said while grazing. "However, unlike Foundation Establishment, there are differences in the process of condensing the Golden Core."

Jiang Man asked curiously, "What's the difference between the different methods?"

“Yes,” the old ox said, looking at Jiang Man. “Competing for promotion is not entirely about competing with others, but more about competing with yourself.”

"The secret realm will evolve advancement methods for you in every aspect."

"If your foundation is weak, your character is flawed, and your comprehension is lacking."

"Then what evolves will not be the most advanced third law."

"This requires a lot of adjustment, systematic learning, practical comparison, application of techniques, skill level, mental clarity, and so on."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man was taken aback and asked, "Systematic learning?"

I haven't studied it.

"It's alright, you're an unparalleled genius, you shouldn't need this score," the old ox said casually.

Jiang Man: "."

However, it was too late to learn.

This is something that cannot be done simultaneously, so we have to give it up for now.

"Don't we have to fight other people?" Jiang Man asked.

“No actual combat is required. That’s how it used to be, but the Immortal Sects always keep changing the rules, so we might have to fight,” the old ox said.

Jiang Man didn't care.

Instead, he asked for the names of the three methods.

The first method is the herbal method, which transforms herbs into golden elixir. However, the spiritual energy carried by light and fragmented herbs is the least desirable.

The second method is the Vajra Method, which involves casting a golden elixir into a golden body, resulting in a body with few impurities that can bear a large amount of spiritual energy.

The third method is the Crystal Method. Crystal is transparent and free of impurities, capable of withstanding the most terrifying spiritual storms.

There are two differences between the three methods: one is that a good method leads to faster advancement, and the other is that a good method for forming the elixir does not require time to refine impurities, saving several years in the process.

"The Glazed Technique?" Jiang Man pondered for a moment, then said, "Is it the same as the Glazed Body that signifies a peerless genius's destiny?"

The old ox nodded.

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "The duration of the Glazed Body is 850 days, but it seems to be only 400 or 500 days now. It seems that the destiny of the peerless genius is a bit behind."

The old ox fell silent.

I don't plan to speak.

Jiang Man didn't care too much; no matter what, his purpose never changed.

That is to learn the most powerful method.

Whether or not one possesses the destiny of an unparalleled genius, it's still the same.

As for what the Seeking Dharma Mist was, he had no idea.

But none of this matters.

Jiang Man still wanted the fusion of powers.

He asked the old ox, and the answer he received was very simple.

Training, sparring, consuming elixirs.

Therefore, Jiang Man chose to consume elixirs to train.

The Earth Element Pill is the most effective because it contains the most power.

The fastest speed.

Because he was unsure of what the situation would be like inside, he needed to make the most of this last month to complete his training.

I spent 16,000 to buy 20 pills and have 3,000 spirit resources left.

Then came the request for leave.

He needs to sprint with all his might to combine his strengths.

-

The courtroom is a prison.

Looking at Yu Wanyi, whose body was half-bandaged in the cell, Xia Jin sighed, "Why did it have to come to this?"

Looking at the cell ceiling, Yu Wanyi sighed, "I also want to ask those people, why did it have to come to this?"

She knew something was wrong when she was pulled out of the water.

I wanted to go to my master's residence as soon as possible to seek his protection.

Unfortunately, the situation changed before they got very far.

The ground collapsed.

Air travel is prohibited.

Then came the onslaught of various forces.

She couldn't dodge in time and took several blows.

If she hadn't been carrying the magical artifact given to her by her master, she probably would have perished there.

Fortunately, he turned around and ran back to the Hall of Law Enforcement.

If it weren't for her influence in the Hall of Law Enforcement, she probably would have...
It's hard to say.

"Is your dignity defined by turning yourself in?" Xia Jin said with a sigh.

“It’s alright. The more they act like this, the more it proves I’m right. Moreover, it also proves their fear.” Yu Wanyi took out a letter and handed it to Xia Jin with difficulty. “Senior Sister Xia, please give this to my master.”

"What is this?" Xia Jin asked curiously as she took the envelope.

"I'm going to fight for a spot in the Immortal Abode for him. Isn't the Immortal Abode going to open soon? I'm going to squeeze Jiang Man in there," Yu Wanyi said viciously. "One day, those who attacked me will have to avoid my wrath."

"One needs a Golden Core to enter the Immortal Abode," Xia Jin said.

“Didn’t he register for the advancement challenge next month? Trust his partner’s judgment; he’ll be able to form his core this year,” Yu Wanyi said earnestly.

Will he achieve the Golden Core stage this year?

Xia Jin felt it was unlikely.

The fusion of power shown by Jiang Man is insufficient.

Secondly, the conditions required to enter the secret realm are actually not easy.

Promotion is also difficult to compete for.

However, she didn't say much more, perhaps Junior Sister Yu was right.

After all, she's already in this state.

Xia Jin looked at the person who was unable to move on the bed and shook her head slightly.

This is truly the first time I've ever seen something like this.

I've never seen anyone invest in something so risky as to end up in a jail cell.

However, Jiang Man's participation in the advancement to the secret realm next month has indeed attracted attention.

Many people are not optimistic because it's too early.

Even if they weren't very optimistic, they would still feel a little nervous.

It's also because it's too early.

I've never seen anyone enter the advancement realm so early.

Therefore, anything is possible with the other party.

What if it succeeds?

In their minds, entering the secret realm so early would definitely not end well.

But in their understanding, no one could enter the secret realm so early.

so.
It's impossible not to be nervous.

-

Chishui Peak.

Inside the distillery.

Zhuo Bufan looked at Zhuo Qingcheng and said, "This is the information I received. He said that Sister Zhuo Ling is a good person."

Zhuo Qingcheng looked at Zhuo Ling with some surprise: "What did you do?"

“I challenged him,” Zhuo Ling sighed. “I lost. His spirit sword broke, so I gave him my unused spirit sword in return. That’s all.”

Zhuo Qingcheng sighed, "Is this what a good person is?"
But it's a good thing nonetheless.

At least they didn't become enemies.

After a moment of silence, she looked at Zhuo Bufan and asked, "Did he participate in the Advancement Secret Realm?"

"Yes, I didn't hesitate at all when I signed it," Zhuo Bufan said.

“His fusion is not yet complete,” Zhuo Ling said.

Zhuo Qingcheng's gaze remained fixed on Zhuo Bufan: "Since he failed to complete the fusion, do you think he can succeed?"

"Yes, it's possible," Zhuo Bufan said confidently.

“You’re being blindly confident. From every perspective, he has no chance of obtaining the Third Law,” Zhuo Ling said.

Zhuo Bufan looked at Zhuo Ling and asked, "Sister Zhuo Ling, before you met him, did you think you would lose?"

Zhuo Ling was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

Zhuo Qingcheng didn't say anything else, only saying, "Prepare a congratulatory gift and send it over when he completes his core formation."

The shopkeeper asked curiously, "Aren't you delivering now?"

“There’s no need,” Zhuo Qingcheng shook her head. “He no longer needs anyone else’s help. This friendship between Bu Fan and me is pure; there’s no need to turn it into something else. We’ll just send it over once he succeeds.”

Jiang Man didn't care about what others thought.

As a peerless genius, it is impossible for him to remain unknown.

It is also destined to attract the attention of countless people.

All he needs to do is ignore these stares and continue to grow stronger.

He won't change anything because of what other people think.

They will not become negative or fearful because of the opinions of others.

He expressed his agreement with those who admired him.

Those who slander him are short-sighted and have not yet been illuminated by his light.

After returning, Jiang Man began to hone his cultivation and merge his powers.

With the Hundred Refinement Stone in hand, and his tireless refining, the progress was clearly visible.

In five days, it was close to ten percent complete.

It took nearly 20% in ten days.

Theoretically, there is still enough time.

But on this day, a ball of light appeared on the old ox's body.

Jiang Man understood that this was a letter from Meng Qiewei.

Old Huang didn't even look up, continuing to eat grass.

He seemed completely unconcerned about the light emanating from him.

"Old Huang, my wife wrote a letter," Jiang Man said, looking at the old ox.

"I know," the old ox replied casually.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Didn't you see it?"

"What if I didn't see it? Wouldn't you have to suffer the consequences of her power?"

"I won't die, but whether you will or not is another matter."

Jiang Man shook his head slightly: "Old Huang, you really are getting old, and you've become more and more insightful."

Then he reached out and took the ball of light.

Immediately, the light shone on him.

Instantly, he exclaimed, "You can do that?"

Old Ox glanced at Jiang Man, who exclaimed in surprise, and asked, "What did your wife say?"

"She asked me when I would reach the Core Formation stage, and said that the stronger I am, the less she will be bullied," Jiang Man replied casually.

The old ox looked at Jiang Man and said, "Why are you exclaiming about this?"

“Of course not,” Jiang Man replied.

"What are you exclaiming about?" the old ox asked.

The ball of light had not disappeared; it was still in Jiang Man's hand.

He subtly stirred the ball of light.

I saw a woman sitting under a tree.

He didn't expect that Meng Qiewei would send someone a photo to remember him by.

The other person's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of tenderness.

No normal person could withstand such an attack.

Then Jiang Man told the old ox.

"Old Huang, do you think it's possible for her to be truly conquered by my unparalleled talent?" Jiang Man asked.

The old ox calmly said, "I don't know if she has been conquered, but you are about to be conquered."

Jiang Man sighed, "It's all because I went through the wedding ceremony with the other party. Otherwise, why would I have thought so much? It's mainly because we had a relationship first."

"Old Huang, it's all your fault."

The old ox glanced at Jiang Man and said, "You're the one who brought him back."

“You’re the one who told me to go,” Jiang Man said.

“You carried her back, and then you had the wedding ceremony,” the old ox said.

“I was an idiot back then,” Jiang Man said.

"Later, when he wasn't stupid anymore, he lost his wife," the old ox said casually as he ate grass.

Jiang Man changed the subject: "Let's talk about how to integrate our forces more quickly."

Although I feel there's enough time, I still need to do more preparation.

Prevent accidents from happening.

The old ox then devised a cultivation plan for Jiang Man.

The methods of condensing essence, refining the body, and visualizing should be mutually refined and tempered.

The body and mind will suffer immense pain.

But it can better facilitate the fusion of forces.

Jiang Man showed no fear and began to cultivate.

I didn't feel much for five days, but after ten days I felt like my whole being was about to break apart.

Fifteen days later, I felt like my body was about to break apart.

But nothing could stop him from continuing his cultivation.

How can one be called a prodigy without perseverance?
Fear of pain?

Wouldn't that mean giving up on the path to becoming stronger?

The road to success is never smooth sailing.

Day 17.

That is, the twenty-seven days that the training began.

Jiang Man stopped cultivating.

He felt like his body was about to shatter and his spirit was about to wither away.

But the moment he stopped, the power within his body began to surge.

Spirit and power merge, resonating with the physical body.

The foundation has reached its peak state.

Exhaustion and pain were quickly soothed.

Combat capabilities will also see a leap forward.

"It's stronger than I expected. Even without more secret techniques, I will still sweep through the Foundation Establishment stage."

Jiang Man turned to the old ox and said with a smile, "Old ox, I am invincible in the outer sect. Did you have my style when you were young?"

The old ox kept its head down, grazing without responding in the slightest.

Jiang Man felt that Lao Huang was becoming increasingly greedy.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to do anything; instead, he focused on feeling the changes in his body.

Experience the limits of the foundation.

In this situation, it is indeed possible to try for a promotion.

We'll be able to enter the secret realm the day after tomorrow.

But Ji Hao approached him today.

When the other person arrived, the sunlight shone down, and his slender body and handsome face seemed to radiate light.

With just one glance, everyone can tell that the other person is a chosen one of heaven.

Despite his restrained brilliance, he was impossible to look away from.

Jiang Man looked at the other person with some confusion.

Are they trying to test me again?

That would be very troublesome.

"Are you going to participate in the advancement to the secret realm the day after tomorrow?" Ji Hao asked as he approached.

Jiang Man nodded: "Yes."

“I provided this secret realm,” Ji Hao said with a smile. “The secret realm is divided into three parts: the Misty City, the Heart of the Ocean, and the Summit of the Mountains.”

"The mountaintop is the best place for you, while the misty city is the easiest place to drag you into the abyss."

"Similarly, the city of mist best showcases your talent and brilliance."

"Can one comprehend the strongest technique in the City of Misty Clouds?" Jiang Man asked.

“Anywhere is fine,” Ji Hao replied.

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and then asked, "Where would Mr. Ji like me to go?"

"Are you confident?" Ji Hao asked.

"Yes, there are." Jiang Man nodded truthfully.

“Go to the City of Mist. If you’re not confident, go to the mountain peaks.” Ji Hao paused, then continued, “The City of Mist has a special kind of mist.”

"You just need to leave a mark there."

"Then I can try to win you a direct descendant."

"This time, you won't have to marry into the family or change your surname."

"The first child will take your surname, and the second child can take the surname Ji."

Islands at sea.

Sitting on the boat, Chen Yu looked at the round man in front of him and said, "Jiang Man is about to enter the advancement secret realm. He will definitely be sucked into the Immortal Spirit Dreamland."

“I need to have a conversation with him.”

"I need your help."

He will encounter obstacles when he forms his core.

"I'm going to try to win him over."

The round-faced man looked at Chen Yu and said, "Everyone saw his message, and no one thinks there's anything wrong with him. So, you can't say he's been subdued, can you?"

“That’s all just appearances,” Chen Yu said seriously. “Actually, he’s not on Xianling’s side. You just need to cooperate with me.”

"Just consider it as me helping him to form his core more effectively."
