The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 109 So You're a Kept Man
The words and rows of rewards momentarily stunned Yu Wanyi.

They even doubted whether they were seeing things.

Could these things be related to her?
Impossible.

But everyone was looking at her with such genuine envy.

Just like when she looked at other people before.

At this moment, Senior Sister Xia nudged her: "It seems there's an unexpected surprise."

Only then did Yu Wanyi come to her senses.

She seems to be...
I found the treasure.

In half a month, he covered the distance that others take three years to travel.

Then she turned to look at her senior brother who was holding a sword.

The moment their eyes met, the other person turned and left, saying, "See you later."

Then leave quickly.

They had no face to linger.

Yu Wanyi didn't have time to pay attention to him, and went to Yunxia Peak immediately.

There were never many investment slots available. When she first got one, her intention was to invest in someone who was both talented in martial arts and wealthy.

For example, Fang Tiancheng back then.

That is stable enough.

At least it’s not a loss.

Choosing Jiang Man was purely coincidental; Senior Sister Xia had mentioned it to her once.

She went to see it specifically.

It is indeed possible, but it seems to lack staying power.

Fang Tiancheng is the most suitable candidate.

However, since she came here specifically for Jiang Man, she felt she should see it through to the end, so she chose Jiang Man.

I figured that even if things went badly, I wouldn't lose money.

In fact.
The other party achieved foundation building in half a month, something that has never happened in decades.

She, as an investor, only found out now.

It's going to be criticized.

-

at the same time.

Gao Rong was walking towards Chishui Peak with his head down.

Today is the day the rankings are released, and he suddenly remembered Little Fatty's friend.

I've decided to go check it out.

At first, he thought he was right and that the other person wasn't worth paying attention to.

He wasn't even listed among the top students at the monastery.

To find out Xiaopang's social skills, he specifically checked all the rankings to see where Jiang Man was.

However, he checked all the courtyards on Yunxia Peak and did not find it.

I only found out the answer after asking the relevant people.

Jiang Man was not in the Reconstruction Hall, but in the Foundation Building Hall.

Beginner's Guide: Foundation Building in Fifteen Days

Out of curiosity, he then checked the ranking of Yunxia Peak.

In the first assessment, I came in first place.

Although it was only first in the small courtyard,
It's easy to get first place in the Cloud Front Division, but it's much harder to get first place in the Foundation Building Academy.

Yifeng only has one Foundation Establishment courtyard a year, all of which are obtained through competition between the Qi Refining Academy and the Reconstruction Academy.

He regretted it after seeing Jiang Man's name.

Those who don't know how to be kind to others will encounter such helpless situations.

So he decided to ask Little Fatty.

Some things need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Jiang Man is no match for him now, but it won't be long before he is overtaken.

When that time comes, if the other party remembers the past, then...
He is very likely to encounter huge trouble.

He had looked down on people in the same way before, but never had any problems.

Especially since they've all come out of Luoyun City, there aren't many worth paying attention to.

But as the saying goes, "He who stands by the river will eventually get his shoes wet," and in his youth he tried his best to be kind to others.

As their strength grew, no one else rose to prominence.

Gradually, I realized that it's rare to encounter people who can turn the tide and rise to prominence.

Because those people were meant to shine from the very beginning.

With a sigh, Gao Rong went to Little Fatty's place.

Little Fatty was watering the medicinal herbs, while Luo Xuan was tending to some of them.

"Second Brother?" Little Fatty looked at the newcomer with some surprise.

Gao Rong calmly asked, "Has anyone in Yunqian Division provoked Jiang Man?"

“Of course we have some, quite a lot,” Little Fatty replied immediately.

"What happened to those who provoked him in the end?" Gao Rong asked.

After a moment's thought, the chubby boy said, "Fang Yong should know; I've heard he also provoked Jiang Man."

After learning about Fang Yong's situation, Gao Rong decided to go and find him.

Before leaving, Little Fatty kindly reminded him, "Second Brother, Brother Jiang has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so be polite to him."

Upon hearing this, Gao Rong asked him, "When did you find out?"

Xiao Pang told the truth, and said that he wanted to remind them, but couldn't find anyone.

Gao Rong was silent for a moment before saying, "You can come to me if you have anything important in the future. I can't help with big things, and I don't want to help with small things, but you can talk to me about it."

Afterwards, Little Fatty watched the other person leave, and then looked at Luo Xuan curiously: "Miss Luo, what does my second brother mean?"

Luo Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it your fault for not telling him that Jiang Man has reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"Suffering a loss is a blessing," Little Fatty said, unconcerned.

—

“Everyone uses the same methods to deal with Jiang Man,” Fang Yong said, looking at the person in front of him.

Although he didn't know how the young master of the Gao family had offended Jiang Man.

But he does have experience with this.

"Did you offend him back then?" Gao Rong asked.

He came over after leaving Little Fatty's side.

Without the slightest delay.

My biggest fear is that I won't have enough time.

Fang Yong nodded seriously: "Yes, there were some minor grudges, but they were resolved later."

Gao Rong inquired about the solution.

Fang Yong's answer was simple: Jiang Man was a poor man.

Moreover, they are still poor people with little spiritual income.

Therefore, this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Because perhaps he will have spiritual inspiration in the future.

Gao Rong was puzzled.

Fang Yong used himself as an example: he had investors, and now that he has made progress, he has more investors.

Jiang Man, needless to say, will soon see his investment amount increase significantly.

Of course, he wouldn't say that he had an extra five hundred.

Gao Rong understood this situation and then asked Fang Yong how much he had given back then.

"Twelve thousand," Fang Yong said calmly. "If what Young Master Gao did wasn't too outrageous, around seventeen or eighteen thousand would be enough, after all, it's a feud between Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"At that time, I was only practicing Qi cultivation."

"If Mr. Gao doesn't mind, I can go and talk to him about it."

“Let’s go now,” Gao Rong said immediately.

Yunxia Peak.

Cliff edge.

Jiang Man asked in shock, "How much?"

“I’ll tell him to just ask for 15,000, and I’ll take 3,000,” Fang Yong said to Jiang Man.

Friend, good friend.

Jiang Man was deeply moved. Back then, Little Fatty Second Brother had only said a few words, and he thought that a thousand spirit resources would be enough.

It's gone up by 15,000! How did that happen?

Fang Yong told the truth.

Jiang Man had to admit that Fang Yong was indeed no good person.

They only gave me around four thousand, but they claimed it was twelve thousand.

When you're out in the world, your worth is determined by yourself.

"Deal," Jiang Man said earnestly.

Then Gao Rong received the news.

Under Fang Yong's persuasion, the price was reduced from 18,000 to 15,000.

Gao Rong felt like he had earned three thousand.

He then met Jiang Man and this time he apologized very politely.

Jiang Man smiled and said that everyone was a friend, and he had long forgotten about what happened in the past.

In fact, it won't be long before he really forgets.

He was moving forward and had no reason to look back on the past.

Focusing on cultivation and improving one's cultivation level is the most important thing.

Gao Rong left, letting out a heavy sigh of relief on the way.

On his way back, he ran into Luo Lu, who came to tell him about Jiang Man's ranking.

“It’s been resolved,” Gao Rong replied.

Upon hearing this, Luo Lu was puzzled.

Gao Rong told her the whole story. "Isn't there a problem with this?" Luo Lu asked.

Gao Rong chuckled and said, "What's the problem? I earned three thousand, and they also earned a commission. The parties involved are all satisfied."

"fine.

"Suffering a loss is a blessing. If I suffer this loss, they will be many times happier than before."

"In addition, Xiao Gao's two friends are both quite extraordinary."

Luo Lu was quite surprised.

But he didn't say anything else.

After saying goodbye to Luo Lu, Gao Rong returned home alone.

Back at his lodgings, he slowly sat down, pondered for a long time, and then slapped his thigh hard.

With a pained expression, he said, "I've lost so much money!"

-

Not long after seeing Gao Rong and the others off, Jiang Man saw Senior Sister Yu.

His eyes lit up instantly.

They're here; they're here to improve our benefits.

"Senior Sister Yu." Jiang Man greeted her.

Looking at Jiang Man, Yu Wanyi still felt a sense of unreality: "You really reached the Foundation Establishment stage? And you're the number one in the new courtyard?"

Jiang Man nodded seriously and said, "The test results weren't ideal, but I barely made it into first place."

"Not very good?" Yu Wanyi asked curiously, "About what score did you get?"

Jiang Man said softly, "It's a bit short, only ninety-eight."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanyi was taken aback: "How much?"

Jiang Man patiently repeated it.

Yu Wanyi fell silent, and remained silent for a long time.

The old ox glanced over here and continued grazing.

After a long while, Yu Wanyi finally spoke, saying, "Your growth has surprised me, so my investment in you will naturally increase."

"Currently, you have 2,000 spirit resources per month. Now you can triple that to 6,000 spirit resources per month."

"Secondly, the accommodation discount has been increased from 20% to 30%."

"The discount on the pills has increased from 9.8% to 9.5%."

“Your progress is indeed significant, and I’ve also benefited. Therefore, I will personally sponsor you with another five thousand spirit resources, plus the Sword Control Technique.”

As she spoke, she took out a book and five thousand spiritual resources, saying, "You need to take this book to the court to register it, otherwise it may be considered as unauthorized practice of sword control techniques."

Jiang Man felt completely overwhelmed by the spiritual energy today.

Too much.

Fortunately, I haven't had to pay the rent this month yet.

Secondly, even if Chang Qiwen asks for the debt back three months later, he will be able to pay it back.

The future is expected.

After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Senior Sister Yu and said, "I've already given you the sword control technique, how about giving me a spirit sword in return?"

“No,” Yu Wanyi refused.

Jiang Man wasn't disappointed, after all, she had gained enough this time.

Next time.

"By the way, how did you get promoted so quickly?" Yu Wanyi asked curiously.

"Because I'm more talented and work harder than them," Jiang Man said casually.

"Everyone practices every day, how hard can we work?"

“I have never slept since I entered the temple.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanyi exclaimed in surprise, "This will damage your mind and spirit, making cultivation extremely difficult!"

Yu Wanyi paused halfway through her sentence.

A score of 98 seems to have nothing to do with being unable to make any progress.

This kind of advice is completely unconvincing.

The first assessment usually tests the progress of the Qi Condensation Technique, and the scores are not very high. After another month or two, the physical body and spirit will improve, and then the spirit can be hidden.

Only then will the score skyrocket.

Scores of several tens are normal.

Yu Wanyi sighed and said, "You can decide for yourself. I've never encountered a situation like yours before. I'll try to get you more resources if you continue to improve."

"However, you'd better not sign contracts with other people."

"They usually want stepping stones, so don't waste your talent."

"Secondly, you should be careful when choosing a master, as they may make you sign some contracts."

"To fully exploit your potential and pave the way for yourself."

"But don't worry, there's no contract between us. This is just a simple investment from the sect."

"You will receive sect rewards for your advancement, so the resources you receive will not be as much as those from other families."

"If I join a family and sign a contract, will I still be able to get my senior sister's resources?" Jiang Man asked.

Yu Wanyi nodded: "Yes, it's possible, there's no conflict, but I don't recommend it, because they will limit your potential, and if I earn less, wouldn't that be a loss?"

Jiang Man nodded to indicate that he understood.

Yu Wanyi pondered for a moment and said, "In addition, I recently heard that a great figure came to the sect, bringing with him the gate to a certain secret realm, and will select some people from the Foundation Establishment stage to participate in it."

"It's a kind of experience, but there are limited spots available."

"Work hard, and I'll try to get you a spot."

"However, the requirements should be quite high, at least in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment."

"If your cultivation level doesn't meet the standard, then forget it."

Secret realm?

Jiang Man immediately remembered the Xuanhuang Cauldron from before.

If there are other things in the secret realm, wouldn't that require activating one's hidden talent again?

"Around when?" Jiang Man asked.

"I don't know, it should take a year or two. Your chances aren't great, I'm just giving you a goal," Yu Wanyi said.

Jiang Man considered it for a moment and thought that two years should be enough.

"By the way, is there any other reason besides staying up all night that you can cultivate so quickly?" Yu Wanyi was still a little puzzled.

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Man said, "There might actually be one."

"What is it?" Yu Wanyi asked immediately.

Jiang Man truthfully replied, "Perhaps it's because I married a fairy."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanyi was stunned and exclaimed in astonishment, "A fairy?"

Jiang Man said with certainty, "Yes, a fairy."

In an instant, Yu Wanyi felt relieved: "I thought you were poor and had risen to prominence, but it turns out you've been living off a woman."

“I feel relieved about this.

“I take back what I said before about your cultivation being affected by your Daoist partner.”

"I truly had no idea your Daoist partner was so wealthy."

"Then you should keep your distance from other women to prevent her from misunderstanding you."

"It will hinder your rapid improvement."

As she spoke, Yu Wanyi took two steps back and said seriously, "This position is about right. You just need to work hard from now on, and leave the spot to me."

After giving a few more instructions, Yu Wanyi left.

Jiang Man looked at the old ox beside him with a blank expression and asked, "Old ox, did she believe it?"

"Aren't you happy? To be honest, someone believed you," Old Huang replied casually.

Jiang Man remained silent for a long time.

Wouldn't that diminish the value of my talent?

After that, Jiang Man stopped thinking about it; being able to marry a fairy was a gift.

Others could not withstand the destiny of an unparalleled genius.

But for oneself, fate can only catch up from behind.

Without dwelling on it any longer, he decided to take stock of what he had accomplished that day.

Gao Rong earned 12,000, and Senior Sister Yu earned 5,000 plus the Sword Control Technique.

Adding my own 26,000.

A total of 43,000.

After deducting the rent of 6,300, there is still 36,700 left.

If we deduct the 34,000 owed to Chang Qiwen.

It was barely enough.

Besides, there are several thousand more from Little Fatty.

"It seems I still need to continue improving, and also see how things go with becoming an apprentice."

The next day.

Zhao Yaoyao came to the Ninth Courtyard somewhat tired.

Last night she wanted to rest, but every time she lay down, Jiang Man's words would echo in her mind.

"While you are sleeping, I am still moving forward."

How do you manage to fall asleep?

Then she realized that Zhuo Bufan might be staying up all night to cultivate, and An Rong might be staying up all night to cultivate. Everyone was ahead of her, and she couldn't fall asleep anymore.

She felt uneasy if she didn't cultivate.

She was curious whether other people practiced cultivation.

As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Man sitting in her seat, seemingly looking at something.

Out of curiosity, she went over and asked.

"Let's see who mocked me before." Jiang Man closed the notebook and looked at Zhao Yaoyao calmly, saying, "I have a bad memory, so I have to take it out and look at it from time to time."

Zhao Yaoyao: "."

Then she turned to look at An Rong, who had just entered the room.

An Rong's chest heaved, her face filled with astonishment.

Looking back on the day she took the notes, she was filled with remorse.
