The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 100 I avoid his edge?
At night, Jiang Man cleaned the stables.

"Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. I've been cleaning here for three years and brushing the horses for three years."

"I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't think I'll be coming back."

Compared to the sects, Luoyun City is not prosperous.

Secondly, there's nothing here that would make Jiang Man want to return.

The road ahead is long.

His talent destined him for greatness.

This also inevitably led to many troubles.

In a short time, there might not even be a chance to look back.

Not to mention coming back.

"If you don't establish your foundation soon, you won't be able to come back," the old ox said from the side.

It ate grass without showing any emotion.

It seems to be unaffected by location.

"Also, take the three words 'Meng Qie Wei' with you; don't let them stray too far from me," the old ox said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man looked astonished: "Old Huang, do you want me to keep her calligraphy so that one day her true form will come back, so that she will feel that I cherish what she left behind, and thus gain her favor?"

The old ox stared at Jiang Man for a long time and said, "She left her methods in her name. I can't suppress her methods when I'm far away."

Jiang Man nodded, not embarrassed at all: "I see. Then I'll get the name and put it on you."

The old ox grazed and continued, "If I were to meet you before you had successfully established your foundation, you could probably choose an auspicious burial site for yourself."

Jiang Man nodded.

It will be September soon, that's about it.

However, just to be on the safe side, he decided to inquire about the Foundation Establishment Method first.

"Knowing first about evil and heretical methods of advancement won't do you any good," the old ox said calmly. "The one who brought you into the sect is a Foundation Establishment cultivator; you can ask her."

"What if she doesn't answer me?" Jiang Man asked.

The old ox looked at Jiang Man and remained silent.

Jiang Man understood that anyone with spiritual energy could ask about it.

If you can't get an answer, it means you don't have enough spiritual energy.

Tonight, Jiang Man spent his time either practicing his cultivation occasionally or chatting with the old ox.

Perhaps it was because it was the first time Jiang Man would be separated from the old ox for a while that he became particularly talkative.

"Old Huang, I'm a peerless genius. How far do you think I can go in the future?" Jiang Man asked.

"Your wife ran away," Old Huang suddenly said.

Jiang Man shook his head and said, "If she doesn't run, she'll have to eat beef. Does Old Huang like beef?"

The old ox lowered its head and ate grass.

As the sun gradually appeared, Jiang Man made himself two pancakes and tidied up his things.

The wooden sword was brought out again.

Jiang Man stared at the wooden sword for a long time, reminiscing about the past. Finally, he chuckled and said, "I didn't expect it to still be here. Old Huang, take this with you too. I like it, but I don't play with it anymore."

Old Huang did not speak.

Jiang Man continued packing, and when there was nothing left to pack, he went to the old ox and said with a smile, "Old ox, I'm going out."

As he spoke, he looked at the yard and the stables beside it, thinking to himself, "This time I'm leaving, I won't be coming back."

"I'm leaving." Jiang Man waved goodbye to the old ox. "I'll be waiting for you at the sect. I'll show you how a peerless genius can rise to prominence in the sect."

The old ox watched Jiang Man leave without saying a word, chewing on weeds.

Guard post.

As soon as Jiang Man entered, the two guards stood up abruptly.

"Young Master Jiang." The two bowed respectfully.

Yunqiansi is number one, and they dare not offend him.

Especially the first Yunqian Si, the first of the six pavilions in history.

Its power far surpasses that of any previous Yunqiansi.

Jiang Man looked at them, smiled, and left behind one hundred spirit resources: "Thank you for pointing the way back then."

Jiang Man then turned and left.

The two guards watched Jiang Man's departing figure, recalling what he had said when he first came.

"My family has encountered some changes and we are a bit short of money, but I ranked first in my college, so there are still more opportunities in the future. I am grateful to have received guidance from these two seniors today, and I will definitely repay them in the future."

The two were extremely excited for a moment.

The older man opened his mouth and said, "I told you, he's likely to succeed easily, so we shouldn't mess with him."

"And it really paid off!" the young guard exclaimed in astonishment.

This is the first time we've met.

After leaving the guard post, Jiang Man went straight to the gate of Yunqian Division.

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Fu have been waiting here for a long time.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised to see them, but still bowed respectfully: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Fu."

They must be satisfied with the thank-you gift I prepared since they came.

That makes sense, after all, it's a veteran evil god making a move, how could he possibly be dissatisfied?

It's good to have an evil god.

Especially since it was the evil god who had grown up with him.

They depend on each other for survival.

Although we are now relying on each other for survival, it's mainly because that fairy forced us into this situation.

"Don't worry about it, we've come to see you off. We don't know when we'll see you again. You're the best student I've ever mentored," Mr. Zhao said with a smile.

Mr. Fu also remarked with emotion, "This is a gift for you, representing my understanding of the Heavenly Heart Seal. I hope it will be of some help to you."

As they were talking, a book was handed to them.

Jiang Man accepted it and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Fu."

"Go ahead, they're already waiting. Don't worry about the old ox, I'll take care of everything." Mr. Zhao waved his hand.

Jiang Man thanked them and then said goodbye.

Everyone was present as soon as Jiang Man arrived.

Afterwards, Yu Wanyi flew away on her sword with her people.

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Fu watched them walk away.

"Does Mr. Zhao know who is behind him?" Mr. Fu asked curiously.

Mr. Zhao shook his head: "It doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that we've chosen the right position this time. I never imagined that my little courtyard would produce the number one in Yunqiansi."

Mr. Fu also remarked with emotion: "I'm afraid I won't have the chance to encounter such learning and practice again."

This is a legendary figure.

It didn't happen before, and it's unlikely we'll encounter it again.

And once such a legend leaves, it's unlikely to return.

However, they also gained many benefits, and the road ahead will be much easier than before.

They could even go up to the third floor to teach.

-

Jiang Man stood steadily atop the giant sword, while the surrounding clouds continued to recede.

Soon, they arrived above the clouds.

Can you fly that high on a sword?
Jiang Man hesitated for a moment before asking.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanyi, who was sitting cross-legged at the front, turned around and looked at Jiang Man, saying, "Are you the number one in Yunqian Division?"

"If not, then you're asking the wrong question."

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Then how should we ask?"

The other party smiled but remained silent.

Understood, give it to Lingyuan.

Jiang Man immediately declared, "I am the number one in the Yunqian Division."

The other four dared not speak.

This senior colleague said that if you're not number one, you can't just speak casually.

Find the right way to speak.

There were six people in their group.

In front of the giant sword is Yu Wanyi, and behind her are the five leaders of Yun Qiansi, three men and two women.

Yang Lin, the fifth, is also a woman.

“Since you are number one, I can answer you.” Yu Wanyi naturally knew that the person in front of her was number one, but she was telling the others to know the rules. “Normally, you should be able to fly at this height when you fly. If you fly too low, it will be dangerous.”

"First, it's easy to fly over the heads of the strong; second, if we fight the enemy, it's easy to damage the earth. Whether it's people or mountains, if we damage them, we have to pay for them."

"The losses are most severe in farmland that has already returned to normal production levels."

Jiang Man was somewhat taken aback; he hadn't realized that even those who cultivated immortality were afraid of compensation.

But there's no guarantee we'll be able to find them, right?

Jiang Man asked curiously.

"That's true, it's your skill that you managed to escape," Yu Wanyi said with a light laugh.

Jiang Man: "."

So you're completely unsure if you'll be arrested?
He thought he couldn't escape the control of the Immortal Sect.

However, Yu Wanyi still looked at him with a smile, which made him feel a little strange.

Like an old ox playing a riddle.

"Have you thought about what you want to major in?" Yu Wanyi changed the subject.

Jiang Man shook his head: "No."

He didn't even know anything about the sect, but he didn't expect the other party to be willing to tell him.

"The sect has three main cultivation directions: sword cultivation, magic cultivation, and body cultivation." Yu Wanyi looked at Jiang Man and asked, "Which one do you like?"
"Also, let me remind you that sword cultivators need to purchase high-quality spirit swords. The better the spirit sword, the stronger its power, and it also consumes a lot of energy in battle. Spirit swords need to be repaired, which consumes spiritual energy."

"Body cultivators need to replenish their Qi and blood. Beast meat and blood are indispensable and cost a huge amount. The corresponding techniques are cheaper, but the amount of Qi and blood required for improvement is enormous. In short, it also consumes spiritual resources."

“Magic cultivation costs less, and mana can be accumulated over time. Although the corresponding spells are more expensive, it is cheap overall. Many poor people like to choose magic cultivation. The disadvantage is that the power is weak in the early stage, but it can be explosive in the later stage.”

Everyone else was listening attentively, even though they already knew some of it before they came.

But if the other party is willing to talk, then of course we should listen carefully.

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Can't you unleash your full potential if you choose other options later on?"

“Yes, sword cultivators can conceal their swords, but spiritual swords will break if they are not strong enough. Body cultivators can conceal their qi and blood, but if their physical bodies are not strong enough, they will suffer from qi deviation. The requirements for magic cultivators are lower. Their physical requirements are only average. The only requirement is that their spell level needs to be improved. If it is too low, they cannot unleash their power or burst forth.” After a pause, Yu Wanyi continued, “If you have a spiritual source, you don’t need to worry. You can keep bursting forth. Do you have one?”

Jiang Man: "."

I felt insulted.

"So sword cultivators can only cultivate swords?" Jiang Man asked again.

"No, not really. Spears, halberds, swords, and bows are all fine, but none of them are as famous as sword cultivators, so we'll use the name 'sword cultivator' instead," Yu Wanyi explained.

Jiang Man nodded. So, does that mean he can only be a Dharma cultivator?
After all, we were poor, so this was the only way we could go.

At this moment, Yu Wanyi spoke up again: "Now that you've chosen your major, then choose two auxiliary disciplines."

"There's a support faction too?" Jiang Man asked, puzzled.

Yu Wanyi nodded and said, "The minor skills are roughly: weapon crafting, alchemy, talisman making, formation, beast taming, celestial evolution, puppetry, spiritual cuisine, spiritual plants, and so on."

"These are considered popular majors; there are also some less popular minors."

Jiang Man asked in bewilderment, "Why choose these minors?"

Shouldn't we focus all our efforts on improving our cultivation?

“How can you cultivate without earning spiritual energy? These are for earning spiritual energy,” Yu Wanyi said matter-of-factly.

Jiang Man: "."

Once you put it that way, he understood.

At least there is still a way to earn spiritual resources.

These things don't exist in Yunqiansi.

"Any other questions?" Yu Wanyi asked.

Immediately, seeing that the people behind her were about to speak, she said again, "I didn't ask you."

The four people behind: "."

Isn't this discrimination too extreme?

Fang Tiancheng gave him one hundred spirit resources.

"It can indeed help you answer some of your questions," Yu Wanyi said, putting away her spiritual energy.

"Senior, how should one choose when joining a sect?" Fang Tiancheng asked.

Yu Wanyi thought for a moment and said, "The Fang family? Your family doesn't have much influence in the sect. There are seven peaks in the outer sect. Choose Chishui Peak."

"Thank you, senior," Fang Tiancheng said immediately.

The others immediately consulted Lingyuan as well.

Yu Wanyi accepted them all without hesitation.

Then they chose a place for them.

Then she looked at Jiang Man: "And you?"

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior, do we need to hand over cultivation gold when entering the sect?"

"You don't need to pay for the first three years. After that, you'll be ranked and have to pay cultivation fees according to your ranking. If you can't afford it, you'll have to leave the sect." Yu Wanyi paused and continued, "Of course, if you rank high, you don't need to pay. You'll reach Foundation Establishment within three years, and you won't have to worry about this for the next ten years."

Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief, but life in the sect wasn't easy either. He didn't know how much cultivation gold he would need to stay after three years.

Fortunately, as a peerless genius, he didn't need to worry about such things.

three years?

Who do you look down on?
"I have another question. Does Senior know how to establish a foundation?" Jiang Man asked.

They are now all at the ninth level of Qi Refining, just before reaching the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

Yu Wanyi casually rummaged around for a bit, then tossed a bag to Jiang Man: "Take a look."

Upon opening the bag, Jiang Man saw an iron token and a book that explained how to establish a foundation.

"This token will allow you to receive two thousand spirit resources every month, as well as the right to rent nice accommodations, plus a discount on resources," Yu Wanyi explained.

"Does everyone have one?" Jiang Man asked.

“No, you’re the only one of the five of you who has this. This is my investment in you, or rather, I’m using this opportunity to support you,” Yu Wanyi said after a moment’s thought. “You know Fang Yong, right?”

“I know him,” Jiang Man nodded.

“He was chosen,” Yu Wanyi said.

"He also earns two thousand a month?"

"No, he has three thousand."

Jiang Man: "."

So, even though he's number one in Yunqian Division, he's not as good as Fang Yong?

Soon, Jiang Man remembered Wang Yan; Fang Yong must have been selected around that time.

“Senior has a better eye,” Jiang Man said.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanyi laughed and said, "You are quite confident, but I don't have high expectations for you. Just establish your foundation within three years."

"In this way, I will obtain the corresponding resources."

"In addition, a genius emerged from the Yunqian Division of Luoyun City and was recruited into the sect a few months ago."

"You should not make an enemy of him; you should learn to avoid his sharp edge."

Jiang Man was taken aback and said, "I should avoid his sharp edge?"

Yu Wanyi looked at Jiang Man and nodded, saying, "Otherwise, I'm afraid his sharp edge might hurt you, making it even harder to reach the Foundation Establishment stage."

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, and missed Li Yuan a little. Although Li Yuan was stingy, he could speak up for him sometimes.

If he were here, he would have said some arrogant things.

Afterwards, Jiang Man asked about the Foundation Establishment process.

Between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, there is a process of advancement.

This process also requires the use of promotion methods.

The advancement method has nine levels; one can begin cultivation once one reaches the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Reaching the sixth level offers a chance to establish a foundation, the seventh level is relatively stable, the eighth level is almost certain, and the ninth level, as long as the foundation is not bad, can basically lead to successful foundation establishment.

And there are standards for the foundation.

It's best to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining before improving your cultivation. If you haven't reached that level before, you need to start over to make your spiritual energy more abundant.

The method of Qi and Blood begins at level six, and the visualization method begins at level five.

This is the most basic.

The higher you start, the better your foundation.

Therefore, many people who come from Yunqiansi have to retake their training. If Yunqiansi is like this, they basically won't be able to enter the sect.

The three-year Foundation Establishment process within the sect went smoothly.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised and said, "So as long as you meet the requirements, Foundation Establishment is easy?"

“Yes, that genius has met all the requirements.” Yu Wanyi said seriously, “Next year he should be able to advance to the Great Perfection and then enter the Secret Realm to establish his foundation.”

Jiang Man looked at the other person and asked, "Senior, do you think it's possible for me to reach Foundation Establishment faster?"

Yu Wanyi looked at Jiang Man and smiled, "Confidence is a good thing, I believe in you."

Jiang Man: "."

You don't believe it at all.
