The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 102 If you're number one, then where am I?
Mist Cloud Sect.

The outer gate has seven peaks, including the Cloud and Mist Peak.

Moonlight shone on the registration area at the foot of the mountain. The man in charge frowned and said, "One person is missing. According to the information, he should have arrived long ago. Why is he nowhere to be seen?"

"You're lost, aren't you?" another fairy beside her said, then asked curiously, "Who's missing? Can you find out?"

He Chenfeng looked at the information in the book for a long time before saying, "They're from Luoyun City. They seem to be the number one in Luoyun City, but I don't know why they haven't arrived yet."

The woman, Bai Danyan, stretched and said, "No matter what, he has already missed the time, so he can't enter this advance courtyard. He'll have to wait for the regular courtyards later."

"Make a note so that people know how to arrange it."

"It's about time, we should leave now."

He Chenfeng thought for a moment and said, "I'll wait a bit longer and leave when it's light."

Bai Danyan looked at the other person and said, "I remember now, you are also from Luoyun City. In that case, you can continue to wait, but you can only wait until tomorrow at the latest."

He Chenfeng nodded slightly and continued to wait.

Unfortunately, he didn't see the last person arrive even after dawn.

Therefore, I can only make a note of the situation and close the book.

Waiting for the next shift.

"Pity."

This situation is extremely rare.

-

Inside the Qi Refining Secret Realm, Jiang Man hid behind a boulder, cultivating the Advancement Technique.

Because his understanding was not thorough enough, he could only practice and ponder at the same time.

Fortunately, it is not as difficult to cultivate as the Heavenly Heart Seal.

Before dawn, he had already run the entire process once.

That will make things easier later on.

It's only nine floors.

There's enough time left.

"You really didn't sleep all night? This kind of cultivation is inefficient and meaningless." A man walked over from the other side of the rock.

Ye Wenxiu, a disciple of Chishui Peak.

Jiang Man didn't care and said, "How can Young Master Ye be so sure that I'm wrong?"

Having just arrived, Jiang Man was unaware of the sect's specific situation.

Therefore, we need to listen to more things and understand a more comprehensive picture.

There are many geniuses within the sect.

But he was certain he could stand out; he was just unsure how long it would take.

Therefore, it will not be baseless.

They simply won't believe it, especially when it comes to wealthy people.

The same applies to Yunqian Sizhong.

Especially since I haven't even been ranked yet.

Once there is a first-place ranking, everyone will be convinced.

He firmly believed it wouldn't be long.

Especially among their peers.

Two years, one year, or even half a year.

He would tell others what Yu Wanyi had told him before.

Avoid my sharp edge.

"It has always been this way, but you poor people are just wishful thinking, believing that hard work will bring rewards."

"But in reality, you're all working in the wrong direction. Staying up all night to cultivate is not advisable," Ye Wenxiu said casually. "If you want to cultivate, you should also be aware of your own state of mind. In addition, you should rest when you need to, otherwise your cultivation will be blocked."

"Of course, there is another possibility."

Ye Wenxiu looked at Jiang Man and said, "Perhaps you were wrong from the beginning and don't understand the feeling of true cultivation at all."

"So when there's a blockage, it all seems normal."

"In this way, you will not know how wrong you are."

“That’s certainly possible for you poor people.”

"It's not entirely your fault."

Jiang Man thought for a moment, but he naturally didn't have that feeling.

Furthermore, the old ox did not mention it either.

Furthermore, is the other party's so-called smoothness as smooth as mine?

"Has it always been this way?" Jiang Man asked.

"It has always been this way." Ye Wenxiu nodded.

Jiang Man looked at the other person and chuckled, "Is it true that it has always been this way?"

Ye Wenxiu was taken aback, and finally shook his head slightly, saying, "It is said that the less knowledge a person has, the more stubborn and confident they are. I didn't believe it before."

"I think the logic is sound."

"Now I realize that it's not possible."

"The environment in the well, the limited perspective, has long since locked a person in that narrow space."

"But you'll understand once you've been in the sect for a while."

Ye Wenxiu said no more. Why argue with a poor man?
They use rankings and spiritual resources to demonstrate their power and highlight their righteousness.

This is enough.

However, since he had finally encountered such a person, he naturally wanted to win over the other person and compete for the Foundation Establishment aura for himself.

Jiang Man withdrew his gaze, having no time to argue with him.

He would continue his cultivation before heading to the mountaintop.

Although he could build his foundation anywhere, his other goal was to get closer to the mountaintop and touch the cauldron.

Let's see if we can find anything.

We still need to continue to improve.

After that, Jiang Man began to use movements to assist the circulation of spiritual energy, thereby improving his advancement technique.

When he succeeded on his first attempt, he had already entered the first level of the advancement method.

All Qi Refining techniques are practiced only once, but it's unknown how many times it's practiced after Foundation Establishment.

Without thinking too much, I started running it a second time.

Now that it's running again, there's no longer the initial obstacle, and the speed is much faster.

After two times.

Promotion method, level two.

Ye Wenxiu, who was trying to persuade him, didn't notice anything amiss. He just shook his head, feeling helpless. Finally, he said that he should go and look for the people who had been promoted.

I'll come back to him if I achieve something, and I hope he won't reject me then.

Jiang Man felt melancholy.

The opportunity to make money slipped through my fingers.

I don't know if I'll ever have such an opportunity again.

However, we should still prioritize building a solid foundation.

The spiritual source was good, but time waits for no one.

They were all forced into this by unparalleled geniuses.

Putting aside other thoughts, Jiang Man continued to operate the method of advancement.

After four times.

The promotion method has three levels.

After eight times.

The promotion method has four levels.

After sixteen times.

The promotion method has five levels.

After thirty-two repetitions.

The promotion method has six levels.

it's getting dark.

It's almost midnight.

Finally, Jiang Man chose the method of circulating qi and blood.

He feared that if he continued running the machine, he wouldn't be able to complete 150 repetitions a day.

It's impossible to finish without sleeping.

It takes a lot of time; this advancement method is much slower than normal cultivation methods.

Fortunately, it was getting faster and faster, otherwise it would have been really dangerous.

In addition, using extra time to cultivate qi and blood is also a good thing.

Perhaps they can reach their peak at the same time.

Day two.

The promotion method has seven levels.

Fourth day.

The promotion method has eight levels.

The seventh day.

The promotion method has reached level nine.

tenth day.

Jiang Man completely digested the Qi and Blood Pill, and at this moment, the ninth "gourd" in his physical body was completely full.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

During this time, he realized something.

The fog will dissipate.

The more it dissipates, the more it indicates that someone has begun to build a foundation.

Condensing mist into foundation-building energy, then advancing in rank.

If you fail to establish your foundation, your foundation-building energy will dissipate and become the object of others' struggle.

People will also be teleported out.

If successful, you will be teleported out within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

They are also unable to participate in the remaining competition.

Furthermore, once the foundation building begins, no one can disturb it.

Therefore, normally there is no competition.

Only when someone fails to establish their foundation can the struggle begin.

"The visibility is about a hundred paces, so it seems there aren't many people who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage," Jiang Man guessed, looking around.

After adjusting his mindset, he decided to head upstream.

He was heading to the mountain peak, where water flowed down from above.

It should be possible to reach the mountain peak directly.

He activated his Swift Step technique. He wasn't sure how far the road was, and walking slowly would make him miss his turn.

Foundation building also takes one or two days, so he only has two or three days left.

As Jiang Man went up, he noticed that the fog was decreasing faster than before.

It seems that those people no longer dare to waste their time.

It's already the tenth day. If we delay any longer, we may experience anxiety about not having enough time.

Worrying and anxiety can lead to failure in foundation building.

But Jiang Man wouldn't.

He had almost reached the limit of Foundation Establishment.

He began cultivating his cultivation level, physical body, and spirit after reaching the pinnacle of his cultivation techniques.

It is true perfection.

The eleventh day.

Jiang Man saw the woods and felt the hillside.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Coming."

The fog has now receded to between 150 and 200 paces.

Tomorrow, they should retreat to a distance of more than 300 steps, and the day after tomorrow, they will basically disperse.

Halfway up the mountain.

Jiang Man suddenly sensed an aura spreading from that direction.

It was thrilling at first, but quickly became ordinary.

"Foundation Building Qi?"

Driven by curiosity, Jiang Man used his Divine Speed ​​Step to go over.

Sure enough, a wisp of air was seen floating in the air.

At the same time he arrived, another figure appeared.

It was a woman.

The moment she discovered the Foundation Establishment Qi, she also saw Jiang Man.

"Three thousand spiritual resources." The other party spoke first: "Three thousand spiritual resources, how about giving up competing with me?"

Jiang Man withdrew his gaze from the Foundation Establishment stage and looked at the people who had appeared with him.

She looked to be in her early twenties, wearing a pale yellow fairy dress, with a talisman in her left hand and a long sword tightly gripped in her right.

It's like trying to exorcise evil spirits.

However, Jiang Man really didn't want the Foundation Establishment Qi.

He felt it wasn't pure enough, and didn't suit someone as exceptional as him.

The presence of spiritual energy was an unexpected surprise.

Just as he was about to agree, the other party spoke again: "Which peak are you from? What's your ranking?"

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "Yunxia Peak, number one."

If you're asked about rankings, just say number one, you can't go wrong.

"Is Yunxia Peak number one? Is the Qi Refining Academy number one, or the Reconstruction Academy number one?" the other party asked again.

Jiang Man had no idea about these things and asked curiously, "Is there any difference?"

"The Qi Refining Academy is ranked 4,000th, and the Rebuilding Academy is ranked 5,000th," the other party explained.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man replied earnestly, "I am the best in the Reconstruction Academy."

The other person stared coldly at Jiang Man for a long time before finally saying, "Am I not the number one in the Rebuilding Academy?"

Jiang Man was stunned: "."

Not at all embarrassed, she asked curiously, "Is the night view of Yunxia Peak really more beautiful than other places?"

Zhao Yaoyao frowned. She was certain that the other person was poor, and she was also certain that the other person was not a disciple of the Yunxia Peak Reconstruction Academy.

After all, only a handful of people can get in, and none of them are the people in front of us.

But the poor are terrible.

Especially when facing Foundation Establishment Qi.

Although I can win, it will take a lot of effort.

The time for Foundation Establishment is almost here, there's no need to dwell on it any longer.

"I'll give you five thousand." With that, she tossed out five thousand spiritual energy, which then flowed towards the Foundation Establishment stage.

At the same time that Jiang Man received the Spirit Source, the other party also obtained the Foundation Establishment Qi.

Looking at the five thousand spiritual resources, Jiang Man kindly reminded the other party, "The Foundation Establishment Qi is not pure enough."

Zhao Yaoyao casually took out a bottle of spiritual liquid and poured it on.

In an instant, the Foundation Establishment Qi became pure.

Jiang Man was somewhat taken aback; there was such a thing.

Noticing Jiang Man's gaze, Zhao Yaoyao calmly said, "One bottle costs 10,000 spirit resources."

Jiang Man fell silent.

As expected, he dislikes rich kids.

What I hate most is that I'm not from a wealthy family.

Putting away the spiritual energy, Jiang Man asked, "Do you know how to get to the mountain peak?"

"You don't have a map?" Zhao Yaoyao asked back, withdrawing her Foundation Establishment Qi.

Jiang Man fell silent.

"You're so poor?" Zhao Yaoyao asked again.

Jiang Man fell silent again.

How can I make it seem like I come here often when I first arrive?
“Five hundred spirit resources,” Zhao Yaoyao said.

Jiang Man threw out 500 spirit resources and obtained the map as he wished.

The river ends at the mountainside, and you have to take a detour to get up the mountain.

We haven't strayed from the main road yet, so we can go up today.

Jiang Man then bid farewell to the other party.

As he was leaving, the other person asked him which peak he was from.

Jiang Man told the truth.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't believe it.

Jiang Man felt he had no spiritual source to take, so he didn't explain.

The main point is to explain that you often hear the line, "I know you're poor, but I don't mean to look down on you. You don't need to lie like that just to save face."

This is what the stingy Li Yuan said to him in a very serious tone.

Zhao Yaoyao didn't pay any attention and chose the completely opposite direction.

evening.

As the moonlight shone down, Jiang Man successfully reached the top of the mountain.

There are no clouds or mist here.

Looking down, you'll find that the clouds and mist linger halfway up the mountain, making you feel as if you're above the clouds.

Turning his gaze away, Jiang Man saw a huge rock ahead.

The stone statue, resembling a giant square cauldron, is bathed in moonlight and shrouded in a misty atmosphere.

It appears mysterious.

You really can't tell anything with the naked eye.

It looks like a building, but it feels anything but simple.

As for whether it's really simple.

You'll know once you touch it.

Jiang Man came to the Four Directions Cauldron and reached out to touch it.

The rough texture was palpable.

At the same time, it triggered the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books.

Then the leaves began to flutter.

The book ends on page nineteen.

Writing also appeared.

[The Primordial Xuanhuang Cauldron: In ancient times, the Xuanhuang Qi tide submerged an unnamed mountain peak, and a square cauldron was carved from it. Gradually, it acquired mystical properties, capable of condensing spiritual energy and nurturing primordial Qi. After the tribulations of heaven and earth, it guarded a region, nourishing it with spiritual energy and overflowing with primordial Qi for people to build their foundation. Because it is difficult to enter after foundation building, someone threw something into it, including an envelope personally opened by Xiang Tianlin.]

[By recording the Innate Profound Yellow Cauldron, one can obtain a wisp of magical purple energy (acquisition possible)]

Jiang Man, who withdrew his hand, was somewhat surprised to find it on page nineteen.

Purple Qi of magic.

With improved talent, the speed of spell cultivation has reached a new level.

The Heavenly Heart Seal no longer needs to be polished.

The cultivation of the Heavenly Heart Seal using innate Qi in magical techniques is too slow.

Now, when you practice it, it should be the same as ordinary magic.

In addition, Jiang Man examined the contents of the book pages again.

Xiang Tianlin opened the envelope himself.

what is this?
Jiang Man looked up at the square cauldron, hesitated for a moment, and finally, after much effort, reached the mouth of the cauldron.

It was pitch black below.

"It's quite deep. Will we be able to get out if we go down?" Jiang Man asked worriedly.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to start by building a foundation.

Those who have just established their foundation may be able to go down, and if they can't get out, they can wait for teleportation.

If I can't get in, then I won't take this envelope.

It doesn't matter.

At the edge of the cliff, Jiang Man sensed the clouds and mist below and slowly sat down to circulate the Nine-Level Advancement Technique.

Immediately, the clouds and mist surged upwards like a tornado, flowing into Jiang Man's body.

It looks like a spectacle from afar.

-

Two days later.

The sect began making arrangements again.

He Chenfeng, who was originally in charge of registration, opened the book that he had previously closed.

He immediately checked on the person who was absent.

"Still no sign of him. I didn't expect we'd be in charge of registration again this time." Bai Danyan leaned over for a look and said with a smile, "Where did your fellow villager go?"

He Chenfeng shook his head slightly and said, "It's a bit of a pity."

Bai Danyan shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. I can't even walk on flat ground, and I won't achieve anything in the future. If I come this time, I'll just arrange a small courtyard for me."

Xianxing Courtyard is different from other courtyards.

The guidance over there has already begun, and outside, it is extremely important to be one step ahead.

Missing out means two completely different life trajectories.
