The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 175 Core Formation Turmoil
Yunxia Peak.

The Sixth Academy.

Over the years, Jiang Man has participated in various secret realms and competitions.

The group was never fully assembled.

But today, everyone is here.

Yan Yiqiu was quite moved; in all her years of teaching, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Of course, it was also the first time that I had ever looked up at other coaches and looked down on them.

Jiang Man is really promising.

Not only that, the others also performed admirably.

It can be said that her department produced a lot of talented people.

Although people always say that he's only glorious when he's in the Foundation Establishment stage, and that he'll be crying when he's about to form his Core.

She didn't care at all.

Those people are like frogs in a well, only seeing the bright moon.

When they arrived at her courtyard, they understood what true justice meant.

Of course, although Jiang Man came, he did not listen to the lectures.

Instead, they would use the formations and spiritual herbs in the sixth courtyard to form their core.

"You're going to cultivate here day and night?" Zhuo Bufan asked in surprise.

Jiang Man nodded: "Is that not okay?"

Everyone was silent.

It's true that it works, but there's a feeling that even geniuses are working hard, while you're trying to slack off.

In this situation, will their return affect their mental well-being?

After all, the top disciple of the outer sect was cultivating in the courtyard and had not returned, but they left on their own, watching the genius improve while they themselves remained stagnant.

Zhao Yaoyao sighed inwardly, then asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

You'll get hungry during foundation building and major repairs.

Jiang Man took out a Qi and Blood Pill and said, "This will do."

Everyone was silent again.

Before the formal start of class, Zhuo Bufan and the others exchanged glances and left the courtyard together.

When they returned, the group had brought back a large number of Qi and Blood Pills.

They wanted to see how long the top outer disciple planned to cultivate.

Yan Yiqiu looked at everyone and remained silent for a moment.

Finally, she decided to adjust the course schedule.

Since we're all going to cultivate here anyway, let's all stay.

I will stay home for the time being.

She was also curious about how long Jiang Man could cultivate here without sleep or rest, and whether he was aiming to form his core.
If everyone in the courtyard could witness the other party forming their core, it would certainly be a good thing.

Jiang Man did not sit down to listen to the lecture, but instead took another seat and began to calm her mind.

The promotion method then began to operate.

The practice requires the coordination of the body.

To facilitate the flow of spiritual energy.

It's not just about sitting in meditation all the time.

That doesn't allow the spiritual energy to circulate at its smoothest.

Jiang Man then entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

He began to cultivate wholeheartedly.

The promotion law differs somewhat from previous laws.

Although it also has a level of proficiency, it is not true that the more proficient one is, the more likely one is to condense the Golden Core.

To condense the Golden Core, one needs to achieve the ultimate resonance within the body, ultimately creating a vortex of power.

To condense a golden elixir.

The Golden Core is the strongest form of power condensed from cultivation level, physical strength, and mental resilience.

The body is still in the Foundation Establishment stage, but with the nourishment of the Golden Core, it will reach a new peak.

Jiang Man didn't think much of it and continued practicing over and over again.

At this moment, everyone in the courtyard was watching Mr. Yan give a lecture in front of them, but they also kept glancing at Jiang Man.

Although everyone is making progress.

But Jiang Man kept cultivating, which made them feel uncomfortable all over.

Yan Yiqiu turned to look at Jiang Man. Let alone learning cultivation, even she herself found it hard to bear.

Because Jiang Man was completely focused on cultivation without the slightest distraction.

It is constantly making progress.

What she is teaching now is not particularly important content.

Those people might find it difficult to listen attentively.

Yan Yiqiu sighed heavily, then looked at the others and said:

"I will help you temporarily cancel the classes."

"But if you can't keep up with the follow-up, you know the consequences."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Yan Yiqiu glanced at everyone, and after confirming that everyone had the same idea, she said, "Although I don't know what you have to cultivate, let's cultivate."

"You shall cultivate until Jiang Man has finished cultivating."

"You should stop whenever he stops."

Upon hearing this, no one hesitated and immediately got up to begin cultivating.

When Jiang Man came to her senses that evening, she found everyone was there.

The others didn't have time to look at him either; they were all cultivating.

But the central position is empty.

Jiang Man strode over, ate a Qi and Blood Pill, and began cultivating.

He stood in the very center, and everyone around him began to cultivate.

Traveling day and night, working tirelessly under the stars and moon.

It has never stopped.

Jiang Man still believes that starlight will not fail those who travel the path.

For him, staying up late was simply doing his best within his capabilities.

Let him sleep, that's letting him give up trying.

No matter how talented you are, you won't go very far without hard work.

Perhaps what you walk out of with ease is the end of someone else's life.

But so what?

The destination you reach may well be the starting point that someone else arbitrarily chooses to reach.

Therefore, he will not slack off; he will work hard.

Towards an end that no one else can reach.

A peerless genius must have the effort of a peerless genius.

They lived up to their talent.

Three days later.

Someone noticed something amiss.

No one has entered or left Yunxia Peak Sixth Courtyard these days.

But I was just curious and didn't investigate further.

Five days later.

They began to realize that things were no longer simple.

Finally, someone sneaked in and took a look.

They were stunned when they saw it.

Everyone in the Sixth Academy was actually cultivating.

Working day and night without rest.

When Fang Yong heard the news, his first thought was of Jiang Man.

"He's going to form his core?" That was the most likely possibility he could think of.

He had no idea what kind of commotion would occur when he formed his core.

But the fact that everyone in the courtyard is cultivating together means there's something to be gained from it.

He took leave.

Then he secretly entered the Sixth Academy and began cultivating there.

Working day and night without rest.

He never misses out on any benefits; he'll take advantage of any opportunity he can.

Even if I get caught, it doesn't matter; I'll kneel down before him.

I just hope I'll have this opportunity.

It seems likely that they will be able to stay.

Yan Yiqiu did discover this and decided to expel him.

Then Fang Yong actually knelt down before her and even brought up Jiang Man, trying to appeal to her emotions.

Yan Yiqiu was shocked. How could they be so shameless?

He was also a genius, and it's said he was among the top three in the previous eight academies.

Those who are qualified to learn secret arts.

Is this really the kind of person he is?

The impact was too great.

In the end, she pretended not to see it.

Ten days later.

More and more people are becoming aware of the Sixth Hospital.

Bai Fan looked at his two friends beside him and asked, "Why do you think they cultivate in this way?"

"Jiang Man obtained the promotion law, is it related to this?" Jiang Yingcai asked.

After a pause, Bai Fan looked at Duan Wu: "Do I still have a chance against Jiang Man?"

"Actually, there is a chance. He has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and will subconsciously underestimate those who come after him when he receives the advancement. In particular, he is arrogant, conceited, and overconfident like Jiang Man. He is most likely to be caught off guard and suffer a setback." Duan Wu thought for a moment and said, "So as long as you attack him unexpectedly with your strongest power, there is a possibility of winning with one blow."

Bai Fan looked at the other person and sighed, "I can't tell whether the problem lies with you or with me."

"Let's talk about the Sixth Academy," Jiang Yingcai steered the conversation back on track, asking seriously, "Aren't you worried at all about them staying up all night to cultivate?"

“The sect didn’t really stop us, so maybe staying up all night was the right thing to do,” Bai Fan said.

After a pause, Jiang Yingcai asked, "Do you dare to stay up all night to cultivate?"

Bai Fan and the others remained silent.

After a pause, Duan Wu said, "The First, Second, and Third Academies may not dare, but that doesn't mean the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Academies may not dare."

"We are about to compete for the promotion law."

"And we are all people with hope. There's no need to take risks."

"But most people don't have the opportunity, so they aren't afraid, and might even take a gamble."

"The seventh, eighth, and ninth hospitals offer the most opportunities."

"As long as you stay up later than others, you can get into the top ranks."

"Then they will be qualified to enter the advancement secret realm in the first, second and third academies."

"Although success is not guaranteed."

"But what if?"

Bai Fan and the others remained silent for a moment.

I feel that the outer gate will soon undergo earth-shattering changes.

People who originally had no chance may have a chance simply by staying up late.

That.
Many people will flock to it.

However, the Foundation Building also has a backyard.

Even if there's no chance to form a core in the front yard, you can still compete for entry into the secret realm in the back yard, thus forming a core.

However, the number of places is still limited.

Even fewer than in the front yard.

Even so, it still doesn't make people choose not to take a gamble.

"This is bad, the environment is going to deteriorate," Bai Fan exclaimed in shock.

Sure enough, fifteen days later, some people in the Seventh and Eighth Hospitals started staying up all night as well.

Twenty days later, even more people joined in.

The top students in the outer sect are all staying up all night; they can't just stand by and watch, can they?
As for the damage to one's mental health caused by staying up late, some people say, "Are all the people in the Sixth Hospital stupid?"
Some people say that the top student in the outer sect dares to stay up all night because he is number one.

If you're not the first to dare to stay up all night, aren't you just courting disaster?

There are many interpretations.

But the arrest of the person still left a deep impression on them.

Therefore, the number of people staying up late has increased rather than decreased.

A month later, the number of people staying up late stopped increasing.

The overall impact is not significant, because everyone is taking a wait-and-see approach.

I want to see if the top student in the outer sect can form a core.

Anyway, a little bit of time won't make a difference.

-

Taoyuan Peak.

In a courtyard filled with spiritual energy, a woman gently knocked on the door.

"Come in," a calm voice came from inside.

It was a man.

It should be only around twenty.

creak.

The door was pushed open, and the woman went inside.

She saw a boy sitting on the ground inside, pondering a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) direction.

They must be calculating something.

"Junior Sister Wang? You were looking for me?" Wei Ran looked up slightly at the person who had come.

The other party was Wei Ran, who was once hailed as the number one genius.

Among the six academies, he is two years younger than Jiang Man, the youngest prodigy.

He doesn't look very big.

“Fang Yong has recently disappeared and we can’t contact him, but given his personality, he should be fine,” Wang Yan said after thinking for a moment. “Besides, Jiang Man obtained an advancement technique and will reach the Core Formation stage by next year at the latest, but we’re not sure which technique he obtained.”

“It should be the third law,” Wei Ran said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan exclaimed, "I misjudged him. I thought he was just an ordinary genius, but I never expected him to be so extraordinary."

Wei Ran laughed and said, "Fang Yong is not bad either, there's no need to worry about such things."

"I investigated Cheng Yu as well. She would secretly consume our pills and digest them herself at the lowest cost. She mostly used inferior pills, but occasionally she would use superior pills," Wang Yan said in a low voice. "She wants to improve her cultivation as soon as possible in order to erase some of the injuries left by her mother."

"These are some of her mother's methods."

"It's not a big deal that she has this idea, but it can't be done at the expense of our interests."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ran's eyes turned slightly cold. He then took out a slightly flawed pill from a distance and said, "Use this pill. From now on, she will no longer be able to harm our interests."

Wang Yan took the pills and nodded slightly.

He immediately asked, "Should we investigate Jiang Man?"

"Let's just keep an eye on it for now," Wei Ran said casually.

Wang Yan nodded and withdrew.

-

The next day.

Cheng Yu arrived at Fang Yong's residence, intending to report some news.

But the other party was not there.

She was quite curious.

Fang Yong has been missing for a month.

She received no news either.

She was actually a little worried because Fang Yong was her pillar of support in the sect.

If she goes missing, it will have a huge impact on her.

But she tried to calm herself down.

Just as I was about to leave, a woman walked over.

The woman looked towards Fang Yong's residence and asked, "Has Fang Yong not returned yet?"

After recognizing the other person, Cheng Yu immediately bowed her head and said, "Greetings, senior. I don't know where Young Master Fang has gone, but it may be related to this all-nighter incident."

The person who arrived was Wang Yan.

For Cheng Yu, she is also the spokesperson for the person behind Fang Yong.

Furthermore, the other party is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and she cannot act rashly.

Wang Yan looked at Cheng Yu and said, "I know you have some ulterior motives and ambitions."

"I dare not," Cheng Yu said in fear.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to eat you." Wang Yan looked at Cheng Yu calmly and said, "But I must remind you to be careful in your actions."

“I understand,” Cheng Yu replied immediately.

Afterwards, Wang Yan handed the pills she was going to sell to Cheng Yu and then left.

Return to the shop.

Cheng Yu took out the pills and began to classify them.

Some pills were successfully made, while others were flawed and inferior.

She needs to categorize them and then sell them to customers accordingly.

However, when she was inspecting the inferior pills, she found that one of them was very close to becoming a complete pill.

After hesitating for a moment, she put it away.

Then replenish it with your own spiritual energy.

This time I dare not use the lowest price.

She never dared to harm the store's interests, at most she would just buy them herself at the lowest price, because she could easily get herself into trouble if she was not careful.

Now she is already relying on others, and is walking on thin ice.

Although she felt that Fang Yong would protect her, she couldn't just cause trouble for Fang Shao.

That night.

After she finished selling her wares, she went to the back of the shop.

She then lived in the shop.

There is a room here that belongs to her.

It's not big, but it's fully equipped with tables and chairs.

There's even a dressing table.

She is actually very lucky.

She went inside and sat down in a chair, taking out the pills she had put away earlier that day.

First, I checked the skin under the clothes and found some bruises.

It was left by her mother.

This was to prevent her from losing her virginity easily.

Some things are too important; if you want a good ending, you can't lose certain things.

If she ever decides to get married, as long as she gets her mother's approval, the other party will naturally agree to the marriage.

It wasn't that she didn't want to do it, but these things would bring her a lot of pain.

She wanted to try to sabotage it.

This matter was too shameful, and she did not let Fang Yong know about it.

As long as one improves their cultivation level, they should be able to break through it.

She then swallowed the pill.

Start practicing.

The elixir melts instantly upon entering the mouth, beginning to nourish the body.

However, halfway through the cultivation process, the power of the pill suddenly went out of control like a ferocious beast, and then frantically attacked the bruised parts of her body.

The immense pain nearly made her faint.

Is there a problem with the elixir?
Before she could think any further, she discovered, amidst the pain, that the bruises were actually fading.

Why is this?
A blessing in disguise?

But the excruciating pain did not stop.

He eventually fainted.

-

the other side.

Wang Yan arrived at Wei Ran's residence.

Wei Ran was still sitting on the ground, looking at the mysterious patterns on it.

“Cheng Yu must have taken the pill; he’s probably unconscious now,” Wang Yan said.

Wei Ran nodded slightly: "Once she wakes up, those methods you mentioned should have disappeared, and then we won't need to harm our interests anymore."

Wang Yan nodded: "If all goes well, that should be the case, but we still need to have Fang Yong remind her."

"Go find Fang Yong and talk to him," Wei Ran said casually.
