The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 115 Good people are easily bullied

Jiang Man stood in the spot where the teacher used to be in the courtyard.

Looking at the crowd below, I couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

It turns out that people in this position aren't necessarily wealthy.

However, standing here can provide a considerable amount of spiritual energy.

At least he was.

Mr. Miao was also surprised to see Jiang Man.

She didn't know much about Jiang Man, only that he was one of the instructors sent down by the Foundation Building Academy.

Senior Sister Yan spoke highly of him, but did not elaborate on the specifics.

It wasn't until Yan Huimin uttered the words "foundation building in fifteen days" that she realized how incredibly talented this person was.

How did he learn the method of advancement in fifteen days?

Someone immediately asked.

Mr. Miao was pleased; that was a good question.

Jiang Man had already answered this question before, so he told her the truth.

This is inextricably linked to his eight days of arduous cultivation in the secret realm.

Everyone was puzzled. Only eight or nine days?
Jiang Man didn't explain much. In the letter, Mr. Yan told him to be more restrained and not to stay up late.

He also said that if he just shared his experience and helped them better understand how to build a foundation, he would have completed his mission.

Jiang Man wasn't so perfunctory. He felt that since he had accepted the five thousand spirit resources, he would feel a little embarrassed if he didn't do something more with them.

“You can ask me any questions you have, as they are normal. I will answer if I can, and I should be able to answer them tomorrow if I can’t answer them today,” Jiang Man said.

Yan Huimin immediately asked, "May I ask about magic techniques?"

"Yes." Jiang Man nodded.

"May I ask how to cultivate the Nine Clouds Dragon Seal?" Yan Huimin asked.

“I’ll write it down for you later,” Jiang Man said.

Yan Huimin was delighted.

A legendary handwritten piece.

It will be sent later.

“I’d like to hear the Foundation Building Academy’s understanding of the Promotion Law,” someone in the front row said.

Others agreed, while others felt it was a waste.

Because everyone learned the method of advancement at the monastery.

Not bad at all.

There's no need to spend time trying to understand it again.

Jiang Man has two understandings of the promotion law.

First, it was explained to him by the senior student who registered at the time.

And then there was the explanation given to him by the old ox.

This lays the foundation for systematic learning.

Unfortunately, systematic learning is too time-consuming, so he can only improve his cultivation level first.

Leave the rest to Lao Huang.

He firmly believed that once one's cultivation level was high, all problems would be easily solved when one returned to studying.

It won't take up too much time.

Even if it takes time, he will have enough time to learn as he becomes stronger.

Then everyone looked at Fang Yong.

As the number one, once he nodded, it was difficult for the others to refuse.

Fang Yong looked at Jiang Man, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Without realizing it, the gap has become so large.

However, Jiang Man dressed plainly, and his reputation was not as prominent as that of Yun Qiansi.

It's likely that they'll easily attract ridicule.

He had many thoughts in his mind.

Finally, he nodded and agreed to listen.

Because he watched Jiang Man rise to prominence, when Jiang Man was still in last place and almost couldn't afford the repair fee.

In less than two years, it has already reached the top of Zhuji Courtyard.

It definitely has its merits.

It is essential to learn.

“Since you all want to hear it, let Jiang Man tell you about it,” Mr. Miao said from the side.

Actually, she felt it was unnecessary.

How can the methods for promotion be described in such elaborate ways?
Jiang Man recalled Lao Huang's words: "The conventional method of advancement is to activate all the spiritual energy in the body and connect the blood and spirit."

"You should all know this method."

"So today we'll try a different approach to understanding this."

"The ultimate result is to nourish the body and cultivate the foundation by melting the Qi, blood and spirit into the realm of enlightenment."

Jiang Man understood what the old ox was saying, and even tried it himself.

It's slightly different from the original, but the logical scope is the same.

It is not a heretical practice.

As he spoke eloquently, those who had initially paid no attention began to take him seriously.

Even Mr. Miao couldn't help but sit up straight.

She felt that this method of promotion was more accessible and easier to understand than hers, and even more ingenious.

No wonder the other person is a genius.

She was somewhat relieved that she hadn't left.

If it weren't for Yan Huimin's words, she would have left and let the other party do as they pleased.

After half a day, Jiang Man finished his explanation: "That's roughly it. You can learn about it on your own and then practice on your own."

Afterwards, Jiang Man found a place to write down the Nine Clouds Dragon Suppression Method and handed it to Yan Huimin.

And so the cultivation began.

Mr. Miao looked at him strangely: "What are you trying to do?"

Jiang Man replied truthfully, "Cultivation? It's still early, Mr. Miao, aren't you going to cultivate?"

Mr. Miao was taken aback. What was she cultivating?
Why not just go back to your normal cultivation?

"I still need to compete for a higher ranking, so I have no choice but to cultivate," Jiang Man said.

Mr. Miao nodded.

I understand.

Then it got dark.

Mr. Miao looked at Jiang Man, who was cultivating, with a look of astonishment on his face.

No, you're not going back?
The others who were practicing with him were also surprised.

This isn't over yet?
Jiang Man felt the moonlight and then realized what was happening.

Then, looking at everyone, he asked, "Aren't you going back?"

Everyone: "."

Someone asked, "How come you've been cultivating for so long, sir?"

"Maybe I'm just more hardworking," Jiang Man replied casually.

Mr. Yan told him not to say more, but this time he was truly engrossed.

Sure enough, cultivating together in the courtyard was the most comfortable experience.

Fang Yong and Yan Huimin did not say anything more.

They knew that Jiang Man didn't just work hard; he never slept.

"Have you written down any questions? I'll answer them all tomorrow," Jiang Mankai said.

Fang Yong then handed a book to Jiang Man.

That's what I mean by the problems.

Jiang Man nodded, and then prepared to go back.

Mr. Miao suddenly asked, "Can I write this if I have a question?"

She wanted to see how capable the other party was in this area.

Jiang Man didn't seem to mind: "It's not too difficult, so it's doable."

Jiang Man then left.

In the third courtyard, a woman sitting at the front watched Jiang Man leave, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

They then quickly left.

We arrived at the agreed location quickly.

There is a man waiting here.

Zhang Bai was the first student from the small courtyard who came down from the Eighth Academy of Foundation Building to give a lecture.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, he asked in surprise, "Why are you so late?"

“That Jiang Man led everyone in cultivation, which delayed things until now,” Zhang Zhizhi said.

"How was the first place from the Ninth Academy?" Zhang Bai asked.

Zhang Zhizhi pondered for a moment and said, "Your understanding of the methods of advancement is quite impressive."

She then gave a brief explanation.

“Some things,” Zhang Bai thought for a moment and said, “Now that he’s ranked first in the courtyard, it further proves that he’s quite capable.”

"This year's rankings might be able to use him."

"Find an opportunity to test his practical combat skills."

"If things go well, as long as he breaks into the top three in the annual rankings, it will be worth trying to win him over."

Zhang Zhizhi pondered for a moment and said, "I will try to get the other party to teach me some magic, but I can't get someone to fight with me."

"He is at the Foundation Establishment stage, while we are at the Qi Refining stage, so it's not suitable for us to practice together."

"Let's ask him what spells he learned during the Foundation Establishment stage," Zhang Bai said after some consideration. "As the number one, he should have started learning spells and supplementary cultivation after half a year."

“That would add another six months to the schedule, just a guess.” Zhang Zhizhi replied, “I’ll give it a try; he seems easy to talk to.”

"Is he easy to talk to everyone?" Zhang Bai asked.

Zhang Zhizhi nodded.

Zhang Bai frowned slightly: "If someone is easy to talk to, then they are easy to bully. If someone is not wealthy and is easy to talk to, they don't have the potential to be a ruthless leader."

"His potential for achievement may be significantly lowered due to his personality."

"If someone puts him on a pedestal by being easy to talk to, then even if he is capable, his achievements will be very limited."

After that, Zhang Bai said no more.

Let's test its real-world capabilities first.

Ultimately, we'll have to wait and see the rankings at the end of August.

If we can win them over then, we'll offer some pointers.

-

Jiang Man returned to his residence and gave the books to the old ox.

Then, while asking questions, I took notes.

At first, it was the old ox who spoke, and he took notes.

Then gradually he was able to say a few words.

They can even pinpoint the problem directly.

The old ox watched Jiang Man speak in silence, somewhat surprised.

"This is a resonance issue. He himself doesn't grasp it well, so although his advancement cultivation method seems to have progressed, there are hidden dangers, and he is prone to failure when he tries to advance."

"That's why some people can succeed so easily at the seventh level using the method of advancement, while others fail."

"This is a change brought about by cultivation habits and the level of cultivation."

After saying that, Jiang Man looked up at Lao Huang and said, "Lao Huang, what did I say?"

The old ox lowered its head and ate grass without saying a word.

Jiang Man continued reading, occasionally asking questions when he didn't understand something.

However, these are all issues related to Qi cultivation; once you've gone through them, you'll understand some of them.

Especially the more difficult the material is, the more it contains.

The more you understand, the clearer your understanding becomes.

Of course, some don't make any sense at all.

There are profound mysteries to Qi cultivation, and at this point, one must consult the old ox.

Another issue concerns Mr. Miao, which involves the Foundation Establishment method of Condensing Essence.

Jiang Man didn't have much understanding of the Condensation Method.

The main point is that I have practiced the simplified method.

The only thing we can ask is the old ox.

“This Yuan Condensation Technique is passed down only to men, but there must be a corresponding method. Although I can modify it, do you dare to?” the old ox said.

Jiang Man shook his head: "Just tell me what the problem is."

After all, this was the first time he had ever heard of the law separating men and women.

Cultivation methods are based on one's own body, so as long as they are revised according to these differences, two versions can be created.

Jiang Man wrote it down roughly, but not thoroughly.

In conclusion, it is not suitable for Mr. Miao to cultivate.

After a long while, Jiang Man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You've wasted quite a bit of time here," the old ox said slowly.

Jiang Man closed the book and smiled, "Collecting spiritual energy from people and resolving their doubts is not a waste."

The old ox calmly asked, "Aren't you afraid that this will prevent you from advancing to the mid-stage?"

"If others are afraid, why should I be?" Jiang Man retorted.

“But you’re not good at real combat,” the old ox said.

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "That's true, but the selection process takes quite a while. Why can't I go in and start practicing magic?"

"Hide away for a while, and when you come out, you'll be a sensation."

The old ox stared at Jiang Man and said, "Aren't you ever worried about failing?"

Jiang Man put away the books, looked at Lao Huang, and smiled without saying a word.

Old Huang didn't ask any more questions, he just kept eating grass.

Jiang Man then began his cultivation.

The priority remains to elevate one's spiritual level.

Now it's just the beginning of the second phase of mental illness.

We need to upgrade to level three or even level four as soon as possible.

The bottleneck from the early to the middle stages of foundation building is definitely thicker than before.

There is a need for greater improvement in both physical and mental well-being.

The following day, Jiang Man continued his lectures.

The books were handed directly to Fang Yong, who was asked to copy them or tear out a page each.

It is good for improving one's cultivation.

Mr. Miao also gave her his.

She was stunned when she saw Jiang Man's explanation.

How could someone at the Foundation Establishment stage understand this so thoroughly?

She didn't know, nor did she think much about it.

Sometimes being a little confused isn't so bad.

After giving a brief explanation, Jiang Man prepared to continue his cultivation.

Mr. Miao asked curiously, "Does it have to be cultivation again?"

"Mr. Miao doesn't cultivate?" Jiang Man asked again.

Mr. Miao nodded.

Jiang Man didn't care.

On the third day, when Jiang Man was about to begin his cultivation, Master Miao told him he could rest.

Jiang Man, however, looked surprised: "Mr. Miao, aren't you afraid your strength will regress if you don't cultivate for three days?"

Mr. Miao looked bewildered.

Jiang Man seemed to realize something and asked, "Is Mr. Miao going back to secretly cultivate?"

Mr. Miao fell silent.

Jiang Man did not cultivate on the fourth day.

Mr. Miao was overjoyed: "Are you going to rest now?"

Jiang Man shook his head: "I've decided to go back and secretly cultivate."

Mr. Miao: "."

Everyone below fell silent.

If the geniuses of the Foundation Building Academy are this diligent, would they even be qualified to enter the Foundation Building Academy if they weren't?
Mr. Miao felt a headache.

Jiang Man seemed to be surrounded by light, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Fidgeting.

It seemed that one also needed to get up and cultivate in order to avoid being harmed by this light.

Seven days felt like an unprecedentedly long time to her.

On the fifth day, she finally couldn't take it anymore.

I went to find Yan Yiqiu.

Yan Yiqiu didn't pay much attention to the person who came, although she told Jiang Man to be more discreet.

But his light was too dazzling and would surely make his junior sister uncomfortable.

"Senior Sister Yan, aren't you going to do anything about him?" Mr. Miao said helplessly. "I feel like the late-night cultivation that I had suppressed is about to be inexplicably stirred up again."

Yan Yiqiu sipped her tea and handed two pieces of paper to Mr. Miao.

"What is this?" Mr. Miao asked curiously.

"Jiang Man's two assessments at the Foundation Building Academy," Yan Yiqiu said calmly.

Mr. Miao's hands were trembling after he finished reading the first page.

"This...this is the March assessment? Nine...ninety-eight points?"

When she saw the second page, her pupils contracted: "One hundred and thirty-three? Early Foundation Establishment stage?"

Yan Yiqiu didn't pay any attention, but instead took out a stack of documents: "These are their first and second assessments."

"A jump from twelve points to fifty-eight points? Why is that such a big leap? How did Senior Sister Yan teach you?" Mr. Miao was somewhat shocked.

“They learned Jiang Man’s cultivation methods,” Yan Yiqiu said.

Mr. Miao immediately asked, "What kind of cultivation method can have such a wide range?"

Yan Yiqiu glanced at the other person and said softly, "Staying up all night."

"Staying up all night?" Mr. Miao frowned. "Staying up all night to cultivate will definitely damage your mind and spirit, making your efforts twice as much as you get half the results."

"Who said that?" Yan Yiqiu asked.

“It has always been this way,” Mr. Miao said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yiqiu said meaningfully, "Is it right just because it has always been this way? Junior sister, times have changed, but you still haven't grasped the weight of the words 'When the immortal sects are in great order, everyone can cultivate immortality'."

Mr. Miao was stunned, then said, "So Jiang Man got 133 by staying up all night?"

Yan Yiqiu made a shushing gesture and said, "Don't make a fuss. Let's wait two more years and give the entire Foundation Establishment Academy a surprise. Let's see him make a name for himself."

"Why do we have to wait two years?" Mr. Miao wondered.

Yan Yiqiu said calmly, "If they cultivate for another year, they won't say that they are still laying the foundation."

"He won't compete this year."

Mr. Miao was deeply moved.

Especially this time, Senior Sister Yan spoke with an air of mystery and confidence.
