The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 182 Marrying Jiang Man

The appearance of the storage magic treasure made Jiang Man feel more like a Golden Core Ancestor.

He dumped everything in at once: books, pills, spiritual energy, spiritual swords, magic robes, and spirit beast eggs.

Only Meng Qiewei's name and the statue of the evil god were not included.

These two are in danger; let Lao Huang keep an eye on them.

He then tried again and was able to obtain the spirit sword in an instant.

Finally, I no longer have to worry about forgetting my spirit sword and being unable to fly on it.

The near-fatal fall that happened last time will not happen again.

"Be careful when putting the spirit beast eggs in, they might die inside," the old ox suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mancai turned to look at the old ox and said, "Old ox, you can talk now?"

"Looking at you just now reminded me of when you were young," the old ox said casually.

"Are you calling me an idiot again?" Jiang Man suddenly realized.

Then he asked about storage magic items.

“It used to be very common, but then some things happened, and the old storage magic items can no longer be used. Your storage magic item is the most rudimentary, but it is still quite stable.” The old ox continued, “However, it is best not to put things with life energy, such as spirit beast eggs, inside. Storage magic items do not shrink things, but rather seal things in that compressed space. Living things will be subjected to the pressure of spiritual energy.”

"Furthermore, storage magic treasures of this level do not support living beings."

"You can think of living creatures as easily suffocating."

"You have to be careful with living plants."

"Even if the spirit beast egg hatches, it actually won't fit inside."

Simple and ordinary, Jiang Man didn't care about these things, but asked with a smile, "Old Huang, do you have any?"

The old ox calmly said, "I wouldn't have bothered picking up anything that was left at my feet before."

Jiang Man continued to ask, "Is it available now?"

The old ox grazed on the grass, ignoring Jiang Man.

At first, it thought Jiang Man had matured, but it turned out he was still immature.

"Old Huang, if I put you in there, won't you suffocate?" Jiang Man asked curiously. "If we get discovered, just take a deep breath and enter your storage magic treasure, and I'll fly away with you on my sword."

After a pause, Jiang Man continued, "When you run away someday, remember to take me with you."

The old ox just kept its head down and kept eating grass.

Jiang Man didn't pay any attention to it, but instead felt grateful for what she had gained that day.

He paused for a moment, then began to talk about evil gods.

Recently, the evil god's subordinates have been trying to harm him.

It made him feel somewhat threatened.

The old ox casually remarked, "You're afraid of them?"

"I'm not afraid, but I wonder what level of cultivation the evil god's subordinates have," Jiang Man said with great curiosity.

“That evil god is dead. It’s very difficult for his subordinates to surpass the Golden Core stage, and even if they do, they are extremely few. They won’t attack you,” the old ox said.

Jiang Man understood that if they attacked him, the sect would come after him.

But it's still dangerous; what if the other party doesn't care?
"Senior, do I still have any protective gear on me?" Jiang Man asked.

“Your wife is an unparalleled expert, you should ask her for one,” the old ox said.

"I think the senior is more capable," Jiang Man said seriously.

The old ox glanced at Jiang Man, said nothing, and continued grazing.

If there is no refusal, then it means consent.

Then Jiang Man used the Wind Concealing Technique.

I consulted the old ox.

I need this for a trip in August.

He was going to Luoyun City to complete a mission and, incidentally, to preside over the assessment there.

Do the job that Senior Sister Yu did back then, and experience what it's like to decide everyone's fate.

Now that we've gone back, we should do something about it.

However, before Jiang Man could even begin to learn, he saw Fang Yong approaching.

Needless to say, the other party has come to deliver the spiritual energy.

As expected, Fang Yong ultimately gave out 60,000 spirit resources.

"So many?" Jiang Man was puzzled. There weren't many people he had written down in his notebook, so why were there as many as 60,000?

This 60,000 is after it has been split.

Fang Yong himself must have taken thirty or forty thousand.

“Yes, some people are not in your records,” Fang Yong explained.

He then recounted the story of Xiang Liang and his group.

Jiang Man sighed, "There are still more good people than bad."

"How much did they give?" Jiang Man asked.

"Sixteen thousand per person," Fang Yong said.

Jiang Man sighed again, "Golden Elixir really does come at a price."

But even adding them all up doesn't make that much.

“Some people come to me to buy information about you,” Fang Yong said after thinking for a moment. “The question they ask most is about your Daoist partner. I can only say that you married a mysterious fairy.”

"It's unlikely that he will marry into the family."

"In addition, they also ask you what kind of woman you like."

"Because I still couldn't answer, I could only tell them that you like women like your Daoist partner."

Jiang Mandu was stunned.

Fang Yongting knows how to answer; he'll just say the same thing next time someone asks.

"Someone even asked me to buy your Golden Core quest itinerary," Fang Yong asked curiously. "Are you going to sell it?"

"Sell it." Jiang Man nodded. "I will go to Luoyun City in August to complete my mission."

Fang Yong nodded, thinking about how to sell it.

August is precise enough, so the exact date cannot be revealed.

There is a danger.

However, he still reminded Jiang Man that many women would probably try to get in touch with him.

Once you get involved, and then have a child, it's very difficult to extricate yourself from the situation.

Jiang Man nodded in agreement.

This thing definitely needs to be guarded against.

Just because you have no ideas doesn't mean you're omnipotent.

There are always some traps that can cause you to suffer losses.

Even a young prodigy is not invincible.

Afterwards, Jiang Man asked Fang Yong why he had been at the Sixth Hospital before.

He saw Fang Yong when he was promoted.

"I knelt down before your teacher, and she agreed," Fang Yong said calmly, stating the truth.

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment and asked, "Really?"

Fang Yong looked at the other person calmly.

Jiang Man: "."

So the reason why the small courtyard could be rented cheaply before was because they were really begging and pleading?

Young Master Fang is a big shot.

Afterwards, Fang Yong praised Jiang Man's understanding of the martial arts technique and asked for more details.

Jiang Man naturally answered all of the other party's questions.

After a long while, Fang Yong finally took his leave.

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on: "Old Huang, did Fang Shao take advantage of me for free?"

"You seem quite happy," the old ox said.

“No wonder Young Master Fang often hangs out with those young masters; he really does get benefits from it. Now he’s starting to freeload off me,” Jiang Man said.

Of course, there's nothing to worry about.

Just a little effort.

“This person has decent talent and learns quickly. He doesn’t have as many resources as you, otherwise he could have done it even faster,” the old ox said.

“Young Master Fang has investors behind him, but the spiritual energy they provide is limited. He has to earn it himself. He’s not as good as me; I borrow more,” Jiang Man said.

"You could try investing a little to help him improve as quickly as possible," the old ox said.

Jiang Man nodded: "That's what I think too. This way, Young Master Fang can get in touch with me, and then others will know that Young Master Fang and I are from the same hometown, and they will also know that Young Master Fang will betray me."

“Over time, all of that is spiritual energy.”

"It's much more convenient than alchemy or forging."

“Unorthodox methods,” the old ox said.

Jiang Man chuckled and patted the old ox on the head, saying, "Old Huang, you're a wicked god, the eldest brother won't criticize the second brother."

Furthermore, he earned spiritual resources entirely through his own strength.

Above board.

It's by no means a heretical or unorthodox approach.

Others can't learn this.

The next day.

Jiang Man headed to Chishui Peak.

Go see Little Fatty and the others.

While we're at it, we'll settle the spiritual resources and sell some other items.

Let's see how much savings we can accumulate in the end.

I haven't come to see them since I reached the Core Formation stage, and I'm getting restless if I don't.

In addition, I need to tell Song Qing that I will be going to Luoyun City in August and ask him to take some time to accompany me around.

After all, he also has a mission to complete, and having Song Qingxian understand it will be helpful for his mission.

Having connections makes things easier.

Upon hearing Jiang Man's words, Song Qing was stunned: "You want me to lead the way?"

He, a Qi Refining Stage 8 cultivator, was leading a Golden Core cultivator.
It would be a complete fantasy to say that out loud. "I'll give you five hundred spirit resources then," Jiang Man said.

Song Qing was extremely excited.

Jiang Man had given him a chance before, but he was incompetent and failed to seize it.

And now this great opportunity has arrived.

He certainly couldn't miss it.

“Leave it to me,” Song Qing said confidently.

“I’ll give you a letter and ask my dad to give you a holiday,” Little Fatty said.

Song Qing felt he was lucky.

He is an ordinary person who came from a poor village deep in the mountains. He owes his success to the people around him.

Because of these people, he has too many stories to tell.

They live better than countless others.

Of course, no one can always be good.

Therefore, he will cherish it.

"Are we borrowing spiritual energy again this time?" Song Qing asked.

Jiang Man refused.

The Golden Elixir Ancestor has become wealthy.

They look down on this little bit of spiritual energy.

Of course, there's no rush to pay back the debt.

Too much.

Pay it back slowly.

Chang Qiwen arrived late.

The first thing they did was ask about Song Qingyuan's sister in Luoyun City.

I received some good news.

His sister did well and qualified.

However, those ranked lower are not easy to enter a sect.

Chang Qiwen gave Song Qing all the 10,000 yuan he had saved over six months, asking him to help take care of his sister.

Jiang Man returned 8,000 to Chang Qiwen, and with interest, he made a total of 10,000.

A total of 20,000 spirit resources.

This is a huge sum of money for those competing for rankings.

The opponent doesn't lack spiritual energy; if their talent is comparable to Chang Qiwen's, they have a certain chance.

After that, Jiang Man began to teach them how to stay up all night, and also guided Xiao Pang on the knowledge of spiritual herbs. However, Xiao Pang's talent was average and he didn't understand much, while Luo Xuan was able to understand very well.

As for Chang Qiwen, Jiang Man taught him the method of promotion.

Compared to Xiao Pang, Chang Qiwen is making faster progress.

Song Qing didn't have much to teach.

The Qi Refining method taught them to stay up all night; for the rest, they could just follow the steps, since Old Huang had already given them the secret manuals.

After that, we sold some items.

Finally, Jiang Man checked the total number of spiritual resources.

There are a total of 143,000 spiritual sources.

In addition, there are thirty-three Chaoyuan Shaoyang Pills, worth nearly 60,000.

Almost everything that needed to be sold has been sold.

Such wealth has never been seen before.

Jiang Man had no intention of spending money, because he was still cultivating the Golden Core Technique and it wasn't time to improve his cultivation level.

In the days that followed, he devoted himself to cultivating the Golden Elixir Method.

March 20th.

All rivers flow into the sea, nine stories high.

April 20th.

All rivers flow into the sea, ten layers deep.

June 25th.

The eleventh floor is called "All Rivers Flow into the Sea".

It's almost July, and Jiang Man is filled with emotion.

Sure enough, the speed wasn't very fast.

The number of talents activated is still insufficient; we need to find a way to activate them.

Mastering a cultivation method in a year is not something a peerless genius like him should do.

There are further spells to be performed, which will take even longer.

It requires even more talent.

While practicing the Golden Elixir Method, he also took the time to learn the Wind Concealing Technique.

Learning for a few days is enough; the level doesn't need to be too high, because the spirit sword isn't good enough, so the sword control technique can't be used at full strength.

The accompanying Wind Concealing Technique is the same.

"Speaking of which, it's almost July. Lao Huang, when do you think the Magpie Bridge will open?" Jiang Man asked.

He had a relatively peaceful time during this period, and some women did come looking for him.

They were either asking for directions or inquiring about cultivation issues.

Jiang Man could only tell them that he had found a Daoist partner.

Some people say she was just asking for directions, not seeking a partner.

Some people said he was being unreasonable.

Jiang Man ignored them.

Asking for directions?

Who went into someone's yard to ask for directions?

He was on the edge of a cliff.

In previous years, there was no one there, but once I became the top student in the outer gate, people started asking me for directions.

No matter how you look at it, it's clearly malicious.

Besides, they've already entered the Foundation Establishment Academy; if they don't give them spiritual resources, how can they expect to find their way?

"Late July or early August," the old ox said.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised: "August? I'm going to Luoyun City then, won't that coincide with my departure time?"

"You can leave two days later," the old ox said.

Jiang Man sighed, then he could only cultivate first and wait for his wife to come looking for him.

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. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

A rustic courtyard.

Meng Qiewei stood at the edge of the pond, scattering some fish bait.

However, the chill in the air was quite heavy today, and even the fish in the water dared not come near.

As if afraid of being crushed.

Soon, footsteps could be heard outside.

Qingdai rushed in, a smile on her face.

I was puzzled by the chill in the courtyard. Why was Miss unhappy again?

Who offended the young lady?
I haven't heard anything about it.

"Miss." Qingdai bowed respectfully.

"Good news?" Meng Qiewei put down the bait and looked at Qingdai.

In an instant, Qingdai felt that if she didn't deliver the good news, she might be in trouble.

“Yes.” Qingdai nodded emphatically. “The clan has already come up with two plans: one is for her to marry into the family, and the other is for her to marry out.”

"Therefore, two types of people were sent out."

"Three young women from collateral branches and two women from the direct line."

"All five have talent requirements, with the direct descendants having higher talent."

"If the other party is willing to marry into the family, then let the direct descendants choose."

"If the other party only wants a marriage alliance, then let the collateral branches let them choose."

After saying this, Qingdai asked curiously, "Whose identity will Miss borrow?"

"What do you think?" Meng Qiewei looked at Qingdai.

“Theoretically, it’s best to be from a collateral branch, as fewer people will pay attention and it’s less likely to be discovered,” Qingdai said after a moment’s thought. “But it’s a bit unfair to some young ladies, because collateral branches don’t get much attention, which means they might be overlooked, and their conditions along the way will certainly not be as good.”

“Then let’s go with the collateral branch,” Meng Qiewei made her choice.

Qingdai nodded, then asked curiously, "So, are we going to the Misty Cloud Sect? The collateral branches let the other party choose, but they're going there with the intention of marrying Jiang Man."

She was afraid something might happen.

Meng Qie calmly said, "Let's go out first."

Qingdai understood, saying that it would be difficult for someone like Miss to go out, and there was no point in thinking about it now.

Because besides the alternative, there is another problem.

That means the immortal sects haven't given their approval yet.

"By the way, it seems the Immortal Sect has made some moves regarding the Magpie Bridge; some powerful individuals have entered it." Qingdai paused and said, "They must be trying to retrace the previous path."

-

the other side.

Jiang Man continued his cultivation until the end of July.

On the day the Magpie Bridge opened, he thought Meng Qiewei had returned.

but.
not coming.

This is the first time in many years.

Jiang Man asked the old ox.

The other person, munching on grass, calmly asked, "Your wife? You're asking me?"
