The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 256 Tell me, who to kill?

"Is this it?"

In the cell, Jiang Man was somewhat surprised to hear what her senior sister Yu Wanyi said.

In his view, this was not an easy task.

If he succeeds, all the better; if he fails, he'll have no choice but to bite the bullet and use the advancement method given to him by Tingfengyin.

We'll explain later. It's a rare opportunity for promotion, and it would be a shame to miss it.

The Grand Immortal Sect Competition offers countless opportunities.

It has infinite possibilities.

The immortal sects can't very well explain to themselves that it's not possible, can they?
But now there's no need to worry.

He first obtained the advancement method and was able to pass it on to Lao Huang, thus understanding how to cultivate.

It won't take up too much time.

“Yes, do you know what’s written inside?” Yu Wanyi asked Jiang Man.

Jiang Man shook his head; he had not read the letter.

He had no idea what was inside.

“Senior sister can ask your master,” Jiang Man said.

"My senior master doesn't allow me to say, I need to wait a little longer," Yu Wanyi said with a regretful expression.

She decided to discuss it with Xiaoqing.

After that, Yu Wanyi left and went to find Qingdai.

Qingdai was also very curious, and the two of them discussed it and decided that they could sneak over to take a look.

However, they guessed it must be related to their relationship.

The reason the two are now at odds is because of this letter.

-

Outer gate.

Ever since Fang Shao borrowed the spiritual source, Song Qing has had very little business.

He used to feel that the future was promising, but now he realizes that he might not even be able to afford to eat.

The situation was much worse than he had anticipated.

He has no access to figures like the Peak Master.

But you can also sense that one attitude from the other party can completely erase all his efforts.

Moreover, recently, people from various sects have been coming to inspect the shop, and he will be criticized if he is not careful.

Occasionally, rectification is required, and occasionally, fines are imposed.

Now he doesn't even dare to open the door.

It can only be turned on secretly for an hour or two, and then turned off.

He knew that a normal shop wouldn't act like this, but this was Jiang Man's shop.

It's not impossible that it might close down someday for some minor reason.

Song Qing packed up his stall, looked at the unsold sesame cakes, closed the door, and silently ate them.

He couldn't bear to waste this food.

The next day, he continued to run his stall.

But this time I made far fewer sesame seed cakes than before.

Today he welcomed a guest.

"Can I try some?" the man asked.

Song Qing immediately nodded: "Okay."

"Do I have to pay if it's not tasty?" the other person asked again.

"If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay," Song Qing said confidently.

The other person took a bite, then nodded and ate the rest.

After finishing the meal, seeing Song Qing's expectant gaze, she smiled and said, "It wasn't good, it was too awful. I ate it all so as not to waste it."

"You wouldn't accept my spiritual energy, would you?"

Song Qing opened his mouth, but finally said, "I won't accept it."

The man smiled and said, "Shall I eat another piece for you? Maybe I'll find the second one tastier."

Song Qing shook his head and said, "They all taste the same."

The man chuckled and walked away.

Song Qing sighed heavily.

All we can do is continue to wait.

Let's see if there's any business.

In the afternoon, just as he was about to close the shop, a woman came in.

They requested a taste test.

Song Qing tore off half of it and handed it to the other person.

The woman casually tried it, then threw the pancake at the other person, angrily saying, "It tastes awful!"

Then turned and left.

Song Qing, who was hit by the sesame seed cake, was momentarily stunned.

But he quickly grabbed the sesame seed cake, packed up his stall, and closed the door.

After confirming that no one was around, he took out the sesame seed cake that the woman had just thrown to him.

There was an extra piece of paper inside.

The note read: "Things are getting tense lately, I'm coming tonight for some sesame seed cakes. Make as many as you have, Lingyuan definitely has them."

Song Qing didn't know if it was true or false, nor did he know if those people from the sect were deliberately playing a trick on him.

but.
He chose to do it.

midnight.

A knock sounded at the door, and the woman, dressed in a black robe, looked at Song Qing and asked, "Where are the cakes?"

Song Qing pointed to a table on one side, which was full of them.

The other party did the calculations and left two thousand spirit resources: "I'll come on even-numbered days this month, and on odd-numbered days next month."

Song Qing watched the person leave, feeling somewhat absurd.

Selling sesame cakes feels like smuggling martial arts techniques.

But at least business has started, and hopefully Lingyuan can be given to Young Master Jiang as soon as possible.

The next day.

Cheng Yu came over and asked him if he wanted to return to Yunqian Division.

Previously, Song Qing decided to go back and find the person who made the sesame cakes.

But the situation has changed now, and the other party may not dare to come.

But if the other party is willing to come, he will earn more than just two thousand spirit resources.

After a slight hesitation, he nodded: "Go back."

No matter what kind of work it is, there are risks involved.

This is especially true for sect-related tasks.

It all depends on whether the other side dares to do it.

Two days later, Song Qing had arranged the situation at the store.

He then went back with Cheng Yu.

Because Cheng Yu had an urgent matter, he asked a Foundation Establishment cultivator to help him control his sword.

He returned to Luoyun City the next day.

"I'm staying here for three days, and then I have to go back. You need to hurry," Cheng Yu reminded Song Qing.

Song Qing nodded.

Go find them immediately.

At this moment, near the side door, the young guard looked at the middle-aged man beside him and said, "Uncle Tong, how long do you think we'll have to stay here?"

"You have an idea?" Uncle Tong asked curiously.

"What could I possibly think? I don't have any friends who are Golden Core cultivators, and even if I did, they wouldn't give me a second glance. They'd definitely use me as a reserve of spiritual energy," the young guard said sourly. "I wonder if some people are treated the same way."

"How could anyone be so foolish as to give away the spiritual source for no reason?"
"They were about to pay him back, but he actually said he didn't need it."

"Uncle Tong, why do you think someone like this would have such a miraculous encounter?"

"You envy him?" Uncle Tong asked.

"Since he wasn't around, I told the truth. It's not that I'm being mean, but if I were him, I definitely wouldn't do something so stupid. I'd rather give all that spiritual energy to my Golden Core friends." The young man sighed. "It was only because he wasn't around that I dared to call him stupid."

Uncle Tong said softly, "You just said he was stupid, but Song Qing is really lucky, of course, it also has something to do with his character."

"Even if you were in his position, you still wouldn't become a friend of the Golden Core Ancestor."

The young guard nodded: "That's true. I don't deny that he does have some merits and is indeed enviable. I can't even imagine what it's like for him to live in a sect."

"So, are you going?" a voice suddenly rang out.

The two looked outside and found that Song Qing was standing there at some point.

She looked rather haggard, with very noticeable dark circles under her eyes.

The young guard immediately stood up, tense: "How much did you hear?"

Song Qing truthfully replied, "I heard everything."

The young guard sat down again, feeling that it was all over.

Uncle Tong said, "Come in and sit down. Did you come back alone?"

“Miss Cheng brought me back. She’s leaving in three days. I came here to find her.” Song Qing looked at the young guard.

"You want to settle scores with me?" the young guard said. "Although I spoke ill of you, I was telling the truth. My words may have been harsh, but it was something you did."

"I'll pay you, but you can't ask for too much."

Song Qing didn't say much, but took out an envelope and looked at the young guard, saying, "This is a letter of appointment from the sect. I would like to hire you."

The young guard stood there, stunned, somewhat incredulous.

Song Qing continued, "You can work for the sect, but only as a chef in the shop. Also, Young Master Jiang is facing an unprecedented crisis, so there was a crisis in the past. You need to think it through carefully."

Without even thinking, the young guard immediately said, "Tell me, who do you want to kill?"

—

On the other side, in a luxurious room.

Tantai Xue laughed: "What do you mean by 'the management has been strict lately, and the envoy can't receive spiritual energy, so the progress is stuck'?"

"What kind of people does the Spirit Flower Fairy Spirit recruit?" The spirit tablet also sighed, "It's really surprising that they have spiritual resources but can't use them."

Tantai Xue sighed helplessly, "Raise the price. I want to see this messenger again."

She never imagined there would be such a troublesome messenger.

He didn't care at all about awakening the immortals.

the other side.

Chen Yu met the round-faced man.

Both of them had headaches.

If the messenger doesn't receive the spiritual energy, he certainly won't do anything.

Others may not know, but they do.

The envoy is actually a spy for the sect.

He didn't care at all whether the immortal spirit lived or died.

He only wants spiritual resources. Even if their identities are known, as long as the other party lacks spiritual resources, they will definitely report them one by one.

He didn't care about the consequences at all.

So no matter how much the mysterious fairy subordinates urged them, they still had to deliver the spiritual source first.

"Is it connected already?" the round-faced man asked.

"Yeah, now I can only buy them secretly at night, for fear of being reported and targeted by some people," Chen Yu said helplessly.

What they fear now is not being discovered as disciples of the Immortal Spirit Sect.

Instead, they were afraid of being reported, and then those people would use the leader's attitude to target them.

"The people you send must be careful and not be discovered," the round-faced man said.

Chen Yu said helplessly, "They sent a woman, so there are many excuses."

Then the round-faced man spoke up: "Those who are loyal to the envoy have been gradually selected. Some people have ambiguous attitudes, but some are extremely firm."

"Although there is no immediate impact, things are bound to get messy later on."

"It's alright," Chen Yu said calmly. "I'm the one communicating with that mysterious person now. Doesn't she know the identities of many people? Buy them, report them, and then send the list to the Enforcement Hall, leaving the envoy's name and sending the envoy spiritual energy."

Round-faced man: "."

-

At this moment, Jiang Man had neither curiosity about the letter nor interest in the evil god.

He had only one thing on his mind: to keep cultivating and break through his current cultivation level.

Everything else is for the purpose of becoming stronger.

Now that we can become stronger, there's no need to pay attention anymore.

Whether it's the Bai family patriarch or the awakening of an evil god.

Leave it all for later.

Six days later.

Jiang Man consumed thirteen Mind-Stabilizing Pills and successfully opened the third gourd of his spirit.

The spiritual level has reached the later stage.

Next comes the physical body.

Just like the spirit, the physical gourd can accumulate 10% in two and a half days.

In just over a month, one can successfully advance to the late stage of the physical body realm.

The rest depends on how difficult it is to accumulate cultivation points using the cultivation gourd.

end of July.

The flesh gourd has accumulated to 60%.

August 10th.

The flesh gourd has accumulated to its full potential.

Jiang Man did not stop, but continued to break through.

This time it didn't go so smoothly.

It took a total of eighteen Glazed Pills to successfully open the third flesh gourd.

A total of sixty-eight Chaoyuan Glazed Pills were consumed.

This is the culmination of the Hundred Rivers series, where the Golden Elixir, physical body, and spirit are all in perfect harmony, which is why it has progressed so rapidly.

Normally, sixty-eight is far from enough.

Now, Jiang Man has twelve Chaoyuan Glazed Pills, eleven Chaoyuan Stabilizing Pills, 30,000 spiritual resources, and more than forty red fruits left.

Even if the red fruit could replace the Lesser Yin Pill, it wouldn't be enough to advance to the Golden Core Perfection stage.

Jiang Man did the math and realized that it was indeed quite difficult to make a breakthrough quickly.

He told Lao Huang about his troubles, but Lao Huang ignored him.

It's now August 20th, and there's not much time left until the Immortal Sect Grand Competition in October.

"Is there still no reaction from the Peerless Prodigy Destiny?" the old ox suddenly asked.

Jiang Man nodded and said, "No, it's been almost a month and there's still no reaction. I wonder what they're up to."

This wasn't the first time that the peerless genius hadn't reacted, so Jiang Man wasn't surprised.

Make the other person struggle.

Let's see where its limits are.

The old ox warned, "Then you need to be careful. Perhaps your destiny will only react when you enter the Immortal Sect Grand Competition."

"Back then, you had no resources and no one to explain things to you."

"Problems can easily arise."

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "The most my destiny requirement will be next time is to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

The old ox did not speak.

It doesn't understand.

"Actually, there is an option that can save you a lot of spiritual resources," the old ox said.

"What?" Jiang Man asked.

“Give up the improvement of your physical body and spirit.” The old ox looked at Jiang Man seriously and said, “Your spirit and physical body have now reached the late stage, meeting the basic requirements for advancing to the primordial spirit.”

"In addition, you have already integrated the Golden Elixir with your physical body and spirit."

"The current situation is much, much above the baseline."

"The probability of successfully giving birth to a primordial spirit is more than 50%."

"The only side effect is that after advancing to the primordial spirit, you will not be able to reach your peak state."

"So that means you can't be invincible among those of the same level?" Jiang Man asked.

The old ox nodded slightly: "But it's much stronger than the Golden Core stage."

Jiang Man nodded; Lao Huang's suggestion could be considered as an alternative.

As for now
Jiang Man chose to sell all the remaining pills and buy Chaoyuan Shaoyin Pills.

Twenty-three pills, selling for two thousand.

A total of 46,000 spirit resources were obtained, plus the original 30,000, for a total of 76,000.

The Chaoyuan Shaoyin Pill costs 2,800 yuan, but you get a 5% discount if you buy it from the Law Enforcement Hall.

That means you can buy 28.

With twenty-eight trees plus the red fruit, there are more than seventy.

Jiang Man began cultivating the Hundred Rivers Return to the Sea technique, accumulating cultivation power in the gourd.

He can take two pills a day.

It took three and a half days to accumulate 10%.

That is, 7 out of 10.

It takes seventy to collect them all.

After that, Jiang Man began to eat fruit to improve his strength.

It took three and a half days to cover one-tenth of the area.

But only five fruits were consumed.

Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief; he was now ready to break through to the Golden Core Perfection stage.

It all depends on whether there's enough time.

September st.

The cultivation gourd has reached 30%.

September 11th.

Six floors.

September 25th.

Ten percent.

Five days left.

Jiang Man felt it wasn't enough, but she could give it a try.

---

the other side.

Qin Wen approached Ye Jingtian again: "October 1st is just a few days away. Our locations will be somewhat different by then, so you'll need to submit your location every hour."

"So that we can reunite as soon as possible and face the challenges ahead together."

Ye Jingtian nodded: "Yes."

October st.

The Immortal Sect Grand Competition is about to begin.

Ye Jingtian and the others arrived at the Hall of Enforcement.

I saw Jiang Man coming out from inside.

In a secluded place, Ye Jingtian gave Jiang Man 80,000 spirit resources and a secret technique, calmly saying, "This was given to us by a man named Qin Wen. The secret technique is to inform the other party of their location."

“We can’t refuse, so once we’re inside, we’ll use a secret method to tell them our location.”

"If you want to tell me yourself, that's fine too."

"As for the spiritual source, they gave it 50,000."

"We added 30,000."
