The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 104 Does He Look Down on Me?
Inside the registration room.

Jiang Man was invited in.

Many people outside didn't realize what was happening.

I don't know what the situation is.

So it didn't cause much of a stir.

But He Chenfeng and Bai Danyan, who knew the situation, understood just how surprising this was.

It has only been fifteen days since it arrived, and it has already successfully established its foundation.

This has never happened before.

Bai Danyan even considered testing the person before her to see if he was truly at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Is he deliberately making outrageous statements in an attempt to save face?

In the end, she gave up.

Instead, they chose to test first.

At this moment, they allowed Jiang Man to release his aura.

Sure enough, the aura belonging to the Foundation Establishment stage spread out.

Both of them were silent.

Bai Danyan, in particular, initially thought that the person in front of her couldn't even find his way and only deserved to go to an ordinary hospital and accept his ordinary life.

In retrospect, the Pioneer Institute was the only place he truly lived his ordinary life.

She felt that the place could change her life, but the other person didn't even want to go in.

He leaped towards the Foundation Building Institute.

If their previous conversation had been known, they would have been so ashamed that they wouldn't have dared to face anyone.

With a sigh, He Chenfeng said, "Your situation is a bit special, but it can still be processed, it's just a bit more troublesome than for others."

Jiang Man asked curiously, "I've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so why is it more troublesome than before?"

“Because your situation is too rare,” He Chenfeng said.

At first, he thought he could take care of the other party since they were from Luoyun City.

Having more resources in the early stages makes foundation building easier.

After all, he is the number one in Yunqian Division, so his probability of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is very high.

This has been the case every year.

but.
He never expected that the other party would be at the Foundation Establishment stage right away.

His concern seemed insignificant.

"Will I receive any resource rewards for doing this at Yunxia Peak?" Jiang Man asked.

Qingyun Pavilion gave him five thousand spirit resources back then.

Now that I have reached the foundation stage, I can say that I have brought glory to Yunxia Peak.

We can't just not give them a single penny, can we?

"Has any academy in the sect given you any guidance?" He Chenfeng asked.

Jiang Man shook his head: "No."

"So, is your rapid promotion due to their efforts?" He Chenfeng asked again.

Jiang Man shook his head again.

"Then who should give the reward?" He Chenfeng asked Jiang Man.

The two looked at each other.

Jiang Man understood.

Since no one received any benefit from his foundation building, naturally no one shared in the benefits.

In short, he mastered the basics very quickly.

But in the long run, it's only a year faster than others.

Although no one knows for sure when this year will be the closest they'll ever get, it certainly seems like the difference is only one year.

It doesn't prove anything.

We can only rely on Yu Wanyi.

However, Jiang Man didn't really care if it wasn't there.

We still need to figure out the details of the subsequent cultivation as soon as possible.

“I’ll take you there. I can help you answer your questions about Foundation Establishment. Also, do you have accommodations arranged for you?” He Chenfeng asked.

Jiang Man took out an iron token and said, "What about this?"

"With this Foundation Establishment Academy, you can have your own accommodation, which is basically the best treatment for outer sect disciples," He Chenfeng paused and said, "and the price is also quite favorable."

price?

Jiang Man was puzzled.

Ask immediately.

Bai Danyan immediately said, "Entry-level disciples don't need to cultivate gold for the first three years, but they have to pay for accommodation with spiritual energy. The better the place, the more expensive it is. Otherwise, why would most people be in rooms with eight people each?"

"How much spiritual energy would it take for eight people to share a room for a month?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

Bai Danyan explained, "Normal accommodation costs 500 spirit resources, and if four people are lucky, it will cost 600, but the amount is limited. As for those with this kind of recommendation token, they can stay in a double room for 1,000 a month."

"A single room costs two thousand a month."

"You have a discount, it's around 1,600."

"A private courtyard costs 3,000 a month, with a discount to 2,400."

Jiang Man fell silent.

I didn't see any advantages in the foundation building and major repairs.

“Don’t feel cheated. Not everyone is qualified to live in a single room.” He Chenfeng looked at Jiang Man and said, “The Foundation Establishment Academy is divided into a front and a back courtyard. Only those in the front courtyard are qualified. Those who establish a Foundation in the back courtyard have to live in a double room. Unless you can hand over three to five times the amount of spiritual energy, you can live there.”

Afterwards, He Chenfeng led Jiang Man up the mountain.

“You can stay wherever you want. To save spiritual energy, you can even stay in an eight-person room. But the biggest difference between these places is not the number of people, but the spiritual energy.” He Chenfeng explained as they walked. “The fewer people there are, the more concentrated the spiritual energy is. So there is only so much spiritual energy in these places, especially single rooms. The backyard has to be given up to the geniuses in the front yard.”

"If you don't have a referral token, you'll have to wait until you rank higher before you can choose a single room."

Jiang Man sighed inwardly, feeling he couldn't stay any longer.

Because he also has an old ox, he can't live with other people.

Thinking of this, Jiang Manfang realized he had forgotten to ask Fang Yong where the old ox was.

It's most likely with Little Fatty; I'll check his envelope later.

I will probably mention it once or twice.

When you reach the halfway point on the mountain, there are many buildings.

Like a small city.

"Yunxia Peak is divided into three academies: Qi Refining Academy, Rebuilding Academy, and Foundation Establishment Academy," He Chenfeng explained as they walked. "The Rebuilding Academy is for newly recruited disciples. If they haven't established their foundation within three years, they must go to the Qi Refining Academy. After that, they will have to pay their cultivation fees based on their ranking."

"If you want to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, then you need to enter the Foundation Establishment Preparatory Courtyard."

"If you fail to enter the inner sect after nine years of foundation building in the front courtyard, you must go to the back courtyard and continue to work hard. You will also have to pay your cultivation fee according to your ranking."

Jiang Man nodded; Yu Wanyi had told him some of these things.

If the foundation building fails after three years, the repair fee must be handed over.

Even if one fails to enter the inner sect after nine years, one must still pay the repair fee.

Jiang Man was quite curious about how much this repair would cost.

Are there any people who cannot afford to leave the sect?

“The amount of money involved is substantial,” He Chenfeng said seriously. “Ordinary people can’t afford it, but these people are unwilling to leave and most of them will stay and work in the sect.”

"For example, taking up positions in certain places to guard shops for the sect."

"Once you enter the inner sect, you won't have to worry about this anymore?" Jiang Man asked.

He Chenfeng did not answer.

It doesn't look so good.

"Before you reported for duty, I wanted to talk to you about cultivation, but judging from your appearance, you seem to have some understanding of it. What do you know?" He Chenfeng asked.

Jiang Man told him the truth, and that's how he learned about the major and minor.

“Now that you understand this, I’ll tell you about realms,” He Chenfeng said.

Jiang Man later learned that Qi Refining is divided into nine levels, while Foundation Establishment is divided into five levels.

They are respectively: Foundation Building Beginner, Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Perfection.

Jiang Man is currently only at the Foundation Establishment stage, without any substantial advancement.

Next comes absorbing spiritual energy, but it's different from refining qi.

The five realms of Foundation Building correspond to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The spiritual energy at each realm is slightly different.

Therefore, the cultivation speed will be much slower than before.

Along the way, He Chenfeng talked a lot, especially about the pills he needed.

Different realms require different elixirs.

The cost is significantly higher than that of Qi Refining.

Secondly, foundation building also requires tempering the physical body and visualizing the mind to refine the spirit.

This is similar to Qi cultivation.

Aside from that, the biggest difference is the main cultivation method.

Once you begin cultivation, your body becomes like a container.

Sword cultivators can conceal their sword intent, magic cultivators can conceal their magic power, and body cultivators can conceal their aura.

Some people can hide for nine years, and when they finally unleash their power, even those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage must retreat.

He Chenfeng looked at Jiang Man and said seriously, "Therefore, you cannot provoke or fight with someone at the Foundation Establishment stage, because you have no idea how much they are hiding."

"Especially avoid provoking wealthy people, because they accumulate wealth much faster." As the introduction progressed, Jiang Man saw He Chenfeng lead him into the administrative office. After a brief check-in, they chose their accommodations.

The spiritual source decreased by nine thousand six.

One month's deposit and three months' rent in advance.

Jiang Man almost exploded on the spot.

There are now 3,400 spirit resources left, and if we include the ones we received, there are 5,400 left.

They were almost so poor they couldn't afford to eat.

After doing all that, He Chenfeng showed Jiang Man around the place, and then it was time for him to leave.

Jiang was curious as to why the other party was helping him in such a meticulous way.

"Because you're strong," He Chenfeng said with a smile.

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment.

This is the first time I've heard someone use this reason.

He usually talks to others about it.

After saying that, the other person turned around and went back.

However, before he left, he was told that the ranking of newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators would begin three months later.

"The rankings won't be finalized until three months later?" Jiang Man felt a little disappointed.

They should be ranked as soon as you enter.

However, the changes will only be noticeable after you have chosen your major and received the cultivation technique.

Regarding the cultivation method, He Chenfeng also said that once the classes officially begin tomorrow, September 1st, students will be able to choose their main cultivation method and receive a simplified cultivation method.

Afterwards, Jiang Man arrived at a small courtyard on the edge of the cliff. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and the spiritual energy was too strong.

"No wonder it's a place that costs 2,400 yuan. Old Huang is lucky."

After confirming his address with his identity token, Jiang Man headed towards Chishui Peak.

On the way, I read the letter Little Fatty had written:

Brother Jiang, my dad is messing with me. He's gone too far. We agreed that I could only go to the sect alone, but he actually added another person for me.

They said they would guide me on how to open a shop and also teach me how to cultivate myself.

It wouldn't be a problem if it were just an ordinary guard, but he actually sent Luo Xuan.

Why would a woman be suitable to go with me? Besides, this person is too dignified and powerful.

I can't afford to offend them, and it's uncomfortable for me to be instructed.

The two sides are cooperating, yet he wants to sacrifice me. Couldn't he find a way to send someone to the sect alone?
My dad also said that she has the right to supervise me.

I thought I had finally escaped my family's control, but now I realize my dad never intended for me to be independent.

.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Man crumpled the flat paper, creating creases.

He felt that the chubby boy was showing off to him.

Her somewhat round face seemed to be smiling and saying to him: "Brother Jiang, look at me surrounded by beautiful women, I'm so miserable."

Those wicked rich kids.

Jiang Man felt that Xiao Pang had to be freed from his misery.

Then continue reading:

By the way, Cheng Yu also entered the sect through a shop, just like me. It's said that Fang Yong got him in with just a letter.

Young Master Fang is indeed impressive, but I still don't know where she is.

But my dad said that being able to get the shop means you're capable.

And that cow, I'll take care of it for now.

.

The rest is just ordinary daily life, talking about his cultivation.

Anyway, I just don't know how to continue, so I haven't stayed up all night.

Also, he had saved up some pills, which he could borrow.

Jiang Man put away the envelope and continued upstream along the Chishui River.

The Chishui River is clear with a hint of red. It is said that there are fairy fruits growing on Chishui Peak, and the river water becomes stained red as it flows over them.

After a long while, Jiang Man finally arrived at the foot of Chishui Peak.

People are still registering here, coming and going, just as many as at Yunxia Peak.

Jiang Man then saw a wide street, bustling with people. Following the address, Jiang Man arrived at the depths of the street.

Sure enough, I saw a familiar figure.

An old ox stood to one side grazing, along with Song Qing feeding it grass and Chang Qiwen waiting on the side.

They were all outside the shop, where a tall, slender man was standing and talking to the chubby boy.

With a smile on his face.

On the other side, a woman was also talking to Luo Xuan.

After half a month apart, these people haven't changed much; even Little Fatty's dark circles are gone.

I've become lazy.

We must let him start cultivating.

With his arrival, everyone turned their attention to him.

Little Fatty waved happily and said, "Brother Jiang."

After Jiang Man passed by, the chubby boy said to the man next to him, "Second Brother, this is the Jiang Brother I was talking about, the number one in Yunqian Division."

Then Little Fatty introduced his second brother.

Gao Rong, the second son in his family, is a disciple of the Foundation Establishment Academy.

At this moment, Gao Rong looked at Jiang Man and said with a smile, "I've often heard Xiao Gao mention you. You are indeed a handsome man."

Which peak is it?

Jiang Man looked at the other person and replied, "Yunxia Peak."

"Yunxia Peak? The night view there is the most beautiful, it's quite enviable." Gao Rong smiled and said, "I know some of my senior uncles who teach there."

"If you can rank in the top five in the courtyard in three months, I might be able to say hello to them."

"I'll take care of you a little."

"It will also help you establish your foundation as quickly as possible."

As he spoke, he came up to Jiang Man, gently patted Jiang Man's shoulder and said, "Work hard. Foundation Establishment is a bit difficult for someone of your background, but there is still a chance. If you have any difficulties, you can come to Xiao Gao. Xiao Gao can find me."

"Xiao Gao is unruly, you should be more lenient with him."

"Let's change into another set of clothes, otherwise people will point fingers at us."

“Xiao Gao represents us. When others see that the people around him are poor, they might think that we are mistreating them.”

Then the other party planned to leave.

The woman who was talking to Luo Xuan didn't even glance at Jiang Man before leaving with Gao Rong.

In their eyes, it seems there's not much room for it.

Jiang Man looked back at the two of them and felt slighted.

It's indeed troublesome that someone who has just established their foundation doesn't yet show any aura.

We can only see if we have a chance to meet them based on the rankings.

"Which peak are they from?" Jiang Man asked Little Fatty with great curiosity.

The chubby boy's face turned red; he felt that his second brother had gone too far.

There's a sense of superiority about them.

And they even control what you wear.

He was angry, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing Jiang Man's calm expression, he breathed a sigh of relief: "My second brother is from Nanpan Peak and has been in the sect for eight years. He just doesn't know how to talk nicely."

The other is Luo Xuan's cousin, who has been in the sect for five years.

Jiang Man nodded, pondering for a moment.

It seems I don't even rank in places like Nanpan Peak.

The gap between us is too large.

After all, the rankings are from smallest to largest.

For example, ranking of courtyards, ranking of peaks in the same year, ranking of peaks in the same year, ranking of seven peaks in the same year, ranking of seven peaks in the foundation building stage.

Then we can only let them see the full ranking of the Seven Peaks Foundation Establishment.

Jiang Man stopped thinking about these things and looked at Song Qing: "Why is Song Qing here too?"

As soon as the person left, the two of them followed.

"I never expected that the young master was right beside me. I was stunned when I found out," Song Qing said with emotion. "I never expected that the people around me would be so capable."

"Keep calling me Little Fatty," Little Fatty said.

Song Qing shook his head: "That's definitely not going to work. As a guard, you have to do the job of a guard."

He paused for a moment and then whispered, "But in the end, I still became Luo Xuan's bodyguard."

"Isn't he my bodyguard? How did he become her bodyguard?" the chubby boy whispered.

Song Qing shook his head: "It's not easy to go into details."

Chang Qiwen was listening from the side at this moment, but...
He noticed that Jiang Man's gaze was fixed on him.

Like stalking prey.

"."

There is an ominous feeling.
