The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 187 Unable to defeat Meng Qiewei, unable to outmaneuver Tingfengyin

Fallen Cloud City.

The main gate of Yunqiansi.

There were quite a few people standing here at this time.

They were all senior executives of Yunqian Company, as well as some gentlemen.

The young guard looked at the middle-aged guard beside him with some surprise and asked, "Uncle Tong, what's going on here? What important person has arrived?"

"I heard he was the number one in Yunqian Division a few years ago, a big shot at the Golden Core level," Uncle Tong said.

"Golden Core?" The young guard was somewhat shocked upon hearing this.

He would never have the chance to meet such an important person in his entire life.

He then spoke with a hint of sarcasm: "They are all people from the sect. Song Qing's friend is a sect employee, and this is a big shot from the sect."

"Without comparison, Song Qing really felt that he was extraordinary."

"Alright, stop talking. Don't let anyone hear us," Uncle Tong interrupted.

"I only talk about it behind people's backs, I wouldn't say it to their faces," the young man said nonchalantly.

He naturally wouldn't rashly offend the people from the sect.

After all, he couldn't afford to offend them.

But it's okay to talk about it behind someone's back.

Is it possible for the other party to find out?

Who hasn't spoken ill of others behind their backs?

At that moment, someone approached from outside.

Uncle Tong immediately said, "Stand still and don't make a sound."

The young guard nodded.

He was also worried about making a mistake, as that would have too great an impact.

But they were both stunned very quickly.

Because a group of people were walking towards the end.

The dean and other gentlemen surrounded a man.

The other person's clothing was not special; they looked like an ordinary person walking in the crowd.

If he came alone, no one would pay much attention to him, or even give him a second glance.

But his position undoubtedly tells everyone that he is the most important person in this group.

There was another person with him.

They were also people familiar to the two guards.

Song Qing.

The young man turned deathly pale the moment he saw Song Qing.

He almost lost his balance.

Even Uncle Tong's pupils contracted.

Song Qing had been waiting for his friend for several days.
It turned out to be the Golden Core expert that Yun Qiansi had been waiting for.

They went inside without lingering.

They didn't even bother to come looking for them.

But everyone had already left.

The young guard looked at Uncle Tong in terror: "Uncle Tong, I, I..."

He was incoherent and filled with fear and anxiety.

What we see today seems to have sealed his tragic future.

Uncle Tong remained silent.

Then he let out a heavy sigh.

If that important person really wants to stoop to their level, then everything they do will be in vain.

Because the other party only needs to say one sentence to make them leave Yunqiansi completely.

Even Luoyun City might not be able to accommodate them.

At this moment, Jiang Man, who had just entered Yunqian Division, looked at the dean beside him and said, "The assessment will be held in a few days. If the dean is busy, he can go first."

"I asked Song Qing to accompany me for a stroll."

"Alright, if you have any needs, Immortal Master, you can come to me. Also, should I report the matter in the back mountain?" The Dean carefully sought his opinion.

Jiang Man nodded: "You can proceed as normal."

“Alright.” After a pause, the dean suddenly spoke up, “When the immortal lord came over earlier, the guards seemed to have offended him. I’ll go and deal with it right away.”

Guards? Jiang Man was stunned for a moment before he remembered what it was. He turned to look at Song Qing to the side.

Song Qing was taken aback, then pointed to himself.

Jiang Man maintained her smile.

"I think they are still very friendly, but they don't know Jiang Shao's identity, so they may have offended him," Song Qing said.

Jiang Man didn't have much to say.

"Then let's fine him for his wages." The dean understood what they meant and gave Jiang Man five thousand spirit resources, "which will be given to the immortal in advance as a penalty."

Jiang Man smiled and accepted the money. After everyone left, he gave Song Qing two thousand and said, "If I come again next time, remember to let them mock me more."

Song Qing: "."

However, I inexplicably felt a sense of triumph.

"Cultivate diligently. Once you reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, you'll need to start over," Jiang Man reminded him.

Song Qing nodded to indicate that he understood.

As they walked through the Yunqian Division, they could see students going in and out.

The fifteenth of August is the sect's assessment day, a time that determines the fate of many.

However, four years have passed, and they seem to
They're all like little kids.

Jiang Man then realized that these people were all seventeen or eighteen years old.

I'm twenty-three.

Jiang Man then turned to look at Song Qing.

I noticed that he has matured a lot.

After completing his studies at Yunqiansi, he became a guard for the Gao family, and later a transport guard for Yunqiansi.

None of them were stable jobs.

Exposed to wind and sun.

They will naturally become more mature.

As Jiang Man was pondering, someone suddenly ran over, their voice clear and crisp: "Brother Song Qing."

Brother Song Qing? Out of curiosity, Jiang Man looked over.

She was a woman with rather dark skin.

He was thin and looked somewhat malnourished.

Her hair was tied in a simple bun, and her eyes shone brightly.

Because of their cultivation, everyone has a good physique.

However, the woman in front of him did not have particularly outstanding features.

Of course, it's rare for a poor person to produce a stunning woman when they can't even afford food.

Being thin, dark-skinned, and having dry skin is the norm for most people.

"Young Master Chang," Song Qing asked curiously, "You'll be taking your assessment in a few days, why are you still here?"

"I just finished my cultivation and came out to buy some pills when I ran into Brother Song Qing," the youngest sister of the Chang family said with a smile. "Is he your friend?"

She looked at Jiang Man with some curiosity.

"Yes." Jiang Man nodded.

"Then you all go ahead with your work, I'm going back to cultivate." The youngest sister of the Chang family left quickly.

After everyone left, Jiang Man couldn't help but look at Song Qing.

Song Qing felt uncomfortable being looked at.

"Is there a story behind it?" Jiang Man asked.

He then fumbled around and found there was no jerky.

Without dried meat, Song Qing couldn't tell stories.

Song Qing immediately waved his hand and said, "There's no story. She's Chang Qiwen's sister, and he asked me to look after her a bit more."

Jiang Man frowned, sensing that the person in front of him seemed to be doing quite well at Yunqiansi.

Especially after he leaves, shouldn't everyone else fawn over and respect him?

Like a fish in water.

No, we have to find a way to get him into a sect so he can suffer at the bottom.

Afterwards, Jiang Man asked about the ranking of the Chang family's youngest sister.

“She has great talent, probably ranking around 100th. Can someone with that ranking enter a sect?” Song Qing asked.

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "If she can enter the top 100 by mid-August, she can enter the sect."

His authority is limited to 105.

If he can get into the top 105, he can also use his authority to help her recruit more students.

If it's too far, then there's nothing we can do.

After spending half a day looking around and reflecting on the past, Jiang Man went to find the dean.

Song Qing also went to attend to his own affairs.

-

The dean was quite surprised when he saw Jiang Man.

I don't know what the other party wants to do.

He knew nothing about the person's character.

But he seemed different from the previous people.

While young, he is also extremely strong.

It was especially powerful in the back mountain.

It makes one even more cautious, as any action that displeases the other party could cause significant trouble.

Such a person must have extraordinary authority in the assessment process.

He sighed.

I feel that some things have become more complicated and troublesome.

In addition, our own people are too slow.

The monsters are still investigating, and he won't be able to report back if they ask him questions.

While he was feeling uneasy, Jiang Man suddenly asked, "Is there a convenient place for cultivation here?"

There's still plenty of time left, so naturally I need to find a quiet place to cultivate.

The dean was taken aback and immediately gave Jiang Man the best training place in the entire Yunqian Division.

In fact, even the best places are just ordinary compared to sects.

It wasn't of much use to Jiang Man. But since the other party had already given it to him, there was no need to refuse.

However, before leaving, the dean seemed to have something else to say.

Jiang Man ignored it; if the other party didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't ask.

As long as it doesn't affect him.

During his cultivation, Jiang Man touched the statue and received the message: "What trash."

In this light, it really is a useless thing.

He then activated the Listening to the Wind technique and indeed detected a location.

I checked the map, and it's a nearby city.

Anyone who dares to scheme against me must be from a sect.

There's no rush.

Just hand the statue over to Ren Qian when we get back.

I won't take the risks myself.

Then he checked the token that Tingfengyin had given him.

The token is made of jade and contains many array formations.

There are also some guidelines.

However, his token has not yet been connected to the sect, which means that the appointment has not yet been made.

We need to wait for Tingfengyin to make preparations.

Furthermore, this thing seems to be able to communicate directly with the people of Zhenyue Division.

However, this must be within the scope of Yunqiansi or a sect.

Specific details will be available once the appointment is finalized.

a few days later.

August 15th.

Today is a special day for Yun Qiansi, and many people, even many families, are paying attention to what is happening today.

Jiang Man was invited to the high platform. When he looked down at the nearly three hundred students and practitioners below, he was quite moved.

He was down there back then, but now he sits on a high platform.

Still in the main seat.

During this time, I heard from the dean that some people wanted to see him, but he always used cultivation as an excuse.

Furthermore, the other party had something else to say, but ultimately didn't say it.

During this time, Jiang Man took a moment to fly to the back mountain on his sword and confirmed that the monsters had indeed retreated, and the mist around the ancient well had also disappeared.

But we still have to go back and report it.

Who knows where those monsters are hiding?

He also looked around the neighborhood.

These are all routine checks required by the sect.

Before the inspection, the dean gave him some gifts.

Twenty thousand spiritual resources.

When discussing performance evaluations, we hope to be as lenient as possible and give young people more opportunities.

Jiang Man was deeply moved whenever he thought back on it.

Turns out, coming here is such a profitable trip.

But Jiang Man felt that the dean still hadn't said what he wanted to say.

.

"Master, these are this year's study materials." The dean on the high platform handed over the materials.

Taking the materials, Jiang Man said, "Let's begin the assessment. Will it also end in one day this time?"

"Yes, it should be finished before dark. The Immortal Master can definitely leave tomorrow in time." The Dean hesitated for a moment before asking, "Approximately how many people will be recruited this year?"

"Let's take a look first," Jiang Man said, not in a hurry to answer.

Then I started reviewing the academic performance of students who had completed their studies this year.

I want to see how I compare to myself back then.

August 1st.

Yunqian Si.

The first small courtyard is in the backyard of Jianyue Tower.

Name: Zhao Tiankuo.

Rank: 6 (out of 266).

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 8.

Levels of practice: Level 9 of the Simplified Qi Refining Method, Level 9 of the Simplified Qi and Blood Method, Level 9 of the Simplified Visualization Method.

Resources acquired: Simplified Qi Refining Method, Simplified Qi and Blood Method, Simplified Visualization Method, Heavenly Heart Seal, Divine Walking Step, Six Harmony Palm, Three Powers Strength, Dragon Suppression Method.
Score: 91.

Comment: Potential as deep as the ocean.

Seeing the information at the top, Jiang Man turned to the dean: "Sixth?"

At this moment, the dean's forehead began to sweat.

“He was sent here by the Zhao family.” The dean took a deep breath and said, “Hopefully he can be among the first batch to go to the sect.”

It seems I've finally said what I wanted to say a long time ago.

Jiang Man seemed to understand something and immediately asked, "Is there a Zhao family in Luoyun City?"

He remembered that there were six relatively famous families in Luoyun City.

They are the Fang family, the Li family, the Cheng family, the Yang family, the Luo family, and the Gao family.

But I've never heard of any Zhao family.

“They’re from other cities,” the dean said.

"Other cities?" Jiang Man remarked with a sigh. "They certainly have a long reach. According to them, they want me to take six people with me?"

The dean remained silent for a moment.

Jiang Man chuckled and said, "So you're replacing the fifth one with him, right?"

The dean lowered his head in shame and said, "Otherwise, the Zhao family would cut off some of the resources of Luoyun City, and there would be even fewer people who could go to the sect later."

"What if I refuse?" Jiang Man asked.

Upon hearing this, the dean lowered his head and said, "The Zhao family will target Luoyun City, and they will also try to target the Immortal Master."

Jiang Man smiled slightly and said, "So you mean I should compromise for the sake of Luoyun City?"

The dean did not speak.

Jiang Man casually crumpled the documents in his hand into a ball and tossed it away.

He was an unparalleled genius, with an innate pride.

If he can't beat Meng Qiewei, and can't outmaneuver Tingfengyin, how can he compromise for the Zhao family?
He was in the outer sect, so no one in the inner sect dared to make a move against him. Would the Zhao family dare?
After the dean failed, a middle-aged man quietly came up behind Jiang Man, bent down and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, the Zhao family has an elder serving in the inner sect."

"I hope Fellow Daoist Jiang will reconsider."

"These are some gifts we've given you as a token of our meeting."

Then the other party gave him 50,000 spirit resources.

Jiang Man looked at the 50,000 spirit resources and remained silent for a long time.

Because 50,000 is more than enough to make the fifth person personally give way.

In fact, it's more aboveboard and aboveboard.

There's no need to put myself in a difficult position, but it seems these people have no intention of giving me the Fifth Spiritual Source.

Or perhaps they didn't take the other party seriously and offered too low a price.

Otherwise, who would bother with 50,000 spiritual resources?
Back then, someone offered 50,000, and he probably would have given it up immediately.

After all, entering the sect a little later won't make any difference.

If you have high talent, retaking the course won't take much time.

It doesn't matter which courtyard it is in.

Jiang Man leaned back, looked at the middle-aged man with a slight beard, and smiled, "Could you tell me this elder's name?"

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, would you like to get to know him?" The middle-aged man turned to look at Jiang Man and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Man maintained his smile: "Wait until I enter the inner sect and remove his elders."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is being rather arrogant."

"Wait and see?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's gaze turned cold. He reached out and patted Jiang Man's shoulder, saying, "Fellow Daoist Jiang will regret his choice today."

After saying that, the other person got up to leave.

But Jiang Man's hand was already on his wrist.

Then twist it gently.

Click!

Just twist the other person's wrist off.

The other person's head was lowered, and a muffled sound came from it; cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead.

"Stand quietly on the stage," Jiang Man's calm voice rang out.

There is no room for doubt.

The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised by Jiang Man's strength.

But nothing more was done.

Jiang Man, having withdrawn his hand, was quite curious about the Zhao family.

Zhao Yaoyao's family?
I don't know if they are from the same lineage.

You can go back and ask.

As for this elder, I wonder if he will cause me trouble.

We need to figure out the opponent's strength.

then
It will make the other party understand that a peerless genius cannot be humiliated.

When he is threatened, does he consider himself a dreamer or a whispering wind?
Even evil gods couldn't do anything to him.

Can we let these people bully us?
This time, I've saved face worth 50,000 yuan; I'm determined to get it back.

Mist Cloud Sect.

Ji Hao received the news.

I was quite surprised.

"They've already set off? The clan's operation this time is so fast?"

"However, I haven't told Jiang Man yet, which is a bit troublesome. I need to find an opportunity to talk to him about it."

Of course, he didn't think he would fail.

The maximum cost is three thousand spirit resources.

However, the Immortal Abode is about to open, and he is unsure whether his clansmen or the Immortal Abode will arrive first.
