Jiang Congtang, in the Lingxian Sect, did not escape being bullied by the older generation, but he managed to avoid it all!
They secretly practiced their family's martial arts. Although the spiritual energy here wasn't as abundant as on other mountains, at least they had some spiritual energy to cultivate.
The manuals issued by the immortal sects are only simple introductory manuals.
Jiang Congtang chose to stay here and try to make the most of the monthly supplies he received.
He has always kept a low profile and doesn't associate with others!
Those people couldn't get anything from him, so they bullied and beat him.
Jiang Congtang endured it all.
By the second year, he was able to do missions, but at that time he was only at the second level of Qi Refining and had not yet learned any spells.
In the past, the minor spells performed in the village were all done with talismans. Although you couldn't use minor spells, you could use talismans.
Learn some new skills.
Two or three years later, Jiang Congtang entered the Immortal Sect's Spirit Herb Garden to work as a handyman.
Without the support of a broken family, relying solely on the rewards from completing tasks, Jiang Congtang remained in the Qi Refining stage at the Lingxian Sect from the age of five until he was over ten.
He was originally a pseudo-spiritual root, so even with such hard work, cultivation was much more difficult than for others. Moreover, the reason why it was so difficult for him was because he had five spiritual roots, which made it harder for him to absorb and increase his strength during cultivation.
Jiang Congtang knew this from a young age; growing up in adversity was his life principle.
There's nothing we can do; he has no one to help him now, no family to care for him, and he has to rely entirely on himself at such a young age.
Those cultivators who demonstrate outstanding abilities will be accepted as disciples by other cultivators, thus gaining a master, fellow disciples, and more people to care for them.
Even while at the Lingxian Sect, Jiang Congtang did not change his appearance, just to prevent his enemies from discovering it.
Even if someone has cultivated, they remain dark-skinned, leading others to consider them utterly useless.
Not only is he incompetent, but he's also unattractive; it's no wonder people don't like him.
Jiang Congtang wasn't a loner in the Lingxian Sect. Since others didn't like him, he didn't want to add them as friends and expose his background.
However, while inside the immortal sect, he still secretly checked to see if any members of his own family were there.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any members of my family here.
If you don't have the ability, you can't go out and do missions.
When accepting missions at the Mission Hall, many people form groups and go out to train together.
Jiang Congtang's appearance is unclear, which makes people feel deeply disgusted, and then no team will accept him.
Until he was 15, Jiang Congtang did missions in the immortal sect, either shoveling poop in the monster shed or planting medicinal herbs in the herb garden. Although he learned a little bit of beast language and how to control beasts.
Having learned how to cultivate and care for medicinal herbs, Jiang Congtang was able to receive several tasks every month at the Task Hall.
He could barely make ends meet; even with three more rewards, they would only be enough for him to live on.
After all, you need to eat and drink while living here, and if you want to improve your abilities quickly, you need to eat well.
To save money, Jiang Congtang would practice his cooking skills and make food himself, storing it in his storage bag.
Despite his diligent efforts in completing tasks and cultivating, he was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining by the age of 15. Among the miscellaneous disciples who entered at the same time, there were many who were more capable and grew faster than him.
Others have already gone from being menial disciples to outer disciples or inner disciples.
Jiang Congtang still lives in that same room, but the courtyard has seen several changes in residents.
It's cheaper there by 1 point, but because it's so cheap, the spiritual energy is at its weakest.
Jiang Congtang had already learned some skills from the Lingxian Sect's library, such as designing simple formations to make his courtyard and rooms more spiritually rich.
Jiang Tang's soul entered Jiang Cong Tang's body, but he didn't actually want to take over the soul.
Because Jiang Tang's soul was too powerful, Jiang Congtang's soul became restrained, even though he knew that the other party was a soul stealer.
However, I also know that he has no ill intentions towards me.
Jiang Congtang thought he was too powerful, and that the other party was just a wisp of soul.
Jiang Tang might have some sympathy for Jiang Congtang, feeling that Jiang Congtang was too miserable, so why not help him?
The consciousness told Jiang Congtang that his arrival was only to change his fate, and that using his body was only to change his fate, turning him from a useless person into a useful one.
He will also use his body to modify Jiang Congtang's body, thereby making him stronger.
As Jiang Congtang grows stronger, he experiences life, which is not just about cultivation, but also about a great deal of joy.
As long as you become stronger, you won't have to worry about your true appearance being revealed.
If you are strong enough, you won't let yourself become so useless because of someone you're afraid of; that would only make you disliked.
They will also give him a cheat code, granting him a space for planting, so that in the cultivation world he can learn other skills besides planting.
Jiang Congtang learned that although the other party had taken over his body, he would personally handle certain tasks and cultivation matters in the future.
This is a transaction. Although the other party supports you, you will also feel the joy of being transformed and not letting life be happy through him.
The other party is only experiencing it briefly; they won't keep taking over your body.
Jiang Congtang received this promise. He was so eager to become stronger that he accepted the condition of having his body taken away, without any reason.
Jiang Tang entered Jiang Congtang's body and first gave him a space for planting, although it was just a planting space given casually.
This space is not a celestial treasure; it is not as powerful as the Primordial Treasure Spirit Field Space, which was his golden finger back then.
The one he was controlling was Jiang Congtang, who possessed a wisp of his divine consciousness's memories.
Aside from the secret Star Absorbing ability, other abilities will gradually flood into Jiang Congtang's mind.
Starting with improving his body, Jiang Congtang's pseudo-spiritual root was the same as Jiang Tang's physique back then.
You can simply copy the martial arts he used to practice.
Jiang Congtang started practicing ordinary cultivation techniques, which meant he had more time to cultivate and no longer needed to worry about cultivation resources.
Jiang quit his part-time jobs and focused on cultivation.
Jiang Congtang cultivated in the room in the courtyard, and his cultivation also entered the planting magic treasure. Every day he worked hard to plant and then harvested. He then used the harvested herbs to refine them into pills according to the common alchemy manual.
In the process of refining pills, one can also improve one's array formation ability, pill refining ability, and fire control. During the pill refining process, one can also draw array formations inside the pills.
During the alchemy process, one can also cast wood magic to increase the success rate and improve the quality of the pills.
"Haha, I've even managed to refine high-level pills."
Jiang Congtang laughed wildly to himself.
"What are high-grade pills? We can make even the basic-grade immortal pills."
Jiang Tang reprimanded Jiang Congtang in his mind.
……
"Are you really a god? Will a god help me? Will a god take over my body?" Jiang Congtang didn't quite believe it. In his eyes, those who had already become immortals were already in heaven, weren't they?
Moreover, in his memory, people who cultivate immortality nowadays only gain slightly higher abilities and slightly longer lifespans; no one can actually ascend to immortality.
The secret manuals and magical treasures that this so-called god gives out are indeed good, but why do I still find it hard to believe?
Is he really a god?
Jiang Congtang only had a little bit of disbelief and doubt in his heart.
I didn't think too much about it afterward; I just felt that I was having fun while doing alchemy.
Jiang Congtang couldn't wait to take out all the materials he used for practicing weapon crafting and use them to forge weapons. He was someone who only wanted to improve his strength and take revenge.
I used to spend a lot of time doing tasks in order to get more resources.
Now we spend more time cultivating space and practicing various small skills.
I carefully stored away everything I had practiced, without thinking about selling it for money immediately.
Because he knew that people's hearts were treacherous, and since there was enough to eat, it was acceptable not to eat meat.
However, during his later exploration, he harvested several more crops of grain and herbs in the space.
Another small farm has been added to the space, although it raises cattle, sheep and horses, these small animals with a kind of spirituality.
Jiang Congtang was also pleasantly surprised; with this planting space, he would have no worries about food and drink.
Even if you don't make money, the constant harvest of food and herbs is still wealth.
With more space, materials were used to practice skills, and these materials were then used to create finished products.
He divided the finished products into three portions, keeping the eggs in different places, because he was afraid that one day the other party would take away this secret to cultivation, and then all his efforts would have been in vain.
He doesn't go out and keeps a low profile, as if he doesn't exist, staying secluded in the house in the small courtyard.
Although he had been in seclusion for a long time and had not gone outside.
However, people have been coming and going from the small courtyard where he lived.
When I arrived, I was not very capable, so I couldn't take care of him, my senior.
Moreover, when those people are a little more capable, they won't be able to break through the formation that holds his door open if they want to visit him.
Jiang Congtang has progressed from basic skills to intermediate-level skills, and it took him a year to advance from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.
He's 16 years old this year, and at his age, he's already at the Foundation Establishment stage, which isn't considered genius.
However, given his abilities, he could be promoted from a menial disciple to an outer or inner disciple.
Jiang Congtang no longer relies on the meager rewards from the immortal sect.
People don't need to go out to do tasks; they only need to pay rent every year.
Jiang Congtang hasn't changed his appearance yet, and when he goes out, no one can see that his abilities have changed.
He always seemed like a transparent person.
He had always kept a low profile and remained hidden until he became more capable. Then he would secretly appear and go out to find his enemies.
In reality, he couldn't afford to be low-key, because the competition, which takes place every few years, was about to begin.
People at all ten stages—from Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul—must participate, unless they are away from home or in seclusion.
If a disciple like Jiang Congtang, who is only a menial servant, cannot make a name for himself in the battle this time and is not eliminated, then he can stay in the Immortal Sect, and he can do missions or not.
However, if he ranks too low in this competition, he will be expelled from the immortal sect.
Jiang Congtang did not participate in the previous competitions.
Others thought he was too busy, or that his abilities were too low to compete.
However, Jiang Congtang is now over 15 years old. If he doesn't compete, doesn't win a prize, and doesn't meet the threshold for becoming an outer disciple, he might be eliminated from the immortal sect.
Jiang received the message from Tang and could only go to the square to register for the competition.
When anyone participates in the competition, they will touch the detection orb with their hand. This time, to prevent cheating, we are afraid that some people have the ability to cover up the jade pendant.
He was originally at the Golden Core stage, yet he fought against a Foundation Establishment cultivator. This shows that he could defeat someone with no effort whatsoever.
This kind of testing is also to find out each person's abilities and qualifications.
Some elders who want to take on disciples will choose from among these people.
Jiang arrived at the square from Tang Dynasty. Because of his unremarkable appearance and aloofness, Yan could only recognize this face.
Wherever he goes, people look down on him, as if they've seen stolen goods.
Jiang Congtang is no longer the same person he used to be. He didn't care before, and he cares even less now.
When it was his turn to cover the sphere of light, his hand covered it, and the light in his hand still showed five colors.
Jiang Congtang actually knew that he had some hidden attributes, but this light sphere measured the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) and also had mutations.
Despite having only five useless spiritual roots, his abilities had improved to the Foundation Establishment stage, which surprised many people.
With such a mixed spiritual root of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, it seems that reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in middle age is already the peak for anyone cultivating.
Jiang Congtang's current abilities are already at the Foundation Establishment stage. Although this ability is not strong, he at least has the attributes of the Five Elemental Roots.
For example, if someone has one attribute but another has five, then having only one attribute is not advantageous in battle because the spiritual power contained in one attribute will not be as strong.
Although there are auxiliary magical artifacts, they lose in terms of spiritual power.
One attribute represents high talent, but this high talent is only evident in cultivation.
However, in some people's eyes, if the other party has many more attributes than you, but the cultivation level is the same, it means that your talent is so high.
Their combat strength won't be too strong, and they can reach the Foundation Establishment stage in all five attributes by the age of 16.
Seeing that he possessed the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment, the people who came in with him were somewhat surprised, and those who knew Jiang Congtang were also astonished.
People who used to live in the same courtyard as him, people who knew him, are now only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
They thought they had moved away from that small courtyard, that they were more capable than Jiang Congtang, and that the ugly Jiang Congtang was inferior to them in every way.
It has now been discovered that Jiang Congtang is not much worse than them in reality, and may even have far more attributes and abilities than them.
Now that people know this, their attitude isn't so good.
Because of their ideas, some people are a bit distorted right now.
"Jiang Congtang is still so ugly, and isn't he supposed to be a complete waste? How did he suddenly gain the ability to establish his foundation? Did he steal some treasure?"
"What's going on with Jiang Congtang? Did he eat some rare and precious herbs? Wasn't he very poor? How did he suddenly become so powerful?"
Those who were already superior to them when they first came in are now far more capable than Jiang Congtang, and they have never given Jiang Congtang a second glance.
I don't know him at all.
