The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 220 The Son-in-Law is Really Not Modest
"Son-in-law, this way please."

Qingdai led the people inside. The courtyard wasn't large, but they reached the main courtyard after turning a corner.

There was a pavilion here, and Meng Qiewei sat in the pavilion, reading a book.

"Miss, the young master has arrived," Qingdai said.

Jiang Man had already arrived at the pavilion.

As Mengqie raised her eyebrows slightly, Qingdai continued, "The young master also brought a gift for the young lady."

Meng Qiewei still retains the identity and appearance of Ji Meng.

Upon seeing the person, she slightly rose and rang out in a melodious, bell-like voice: "Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Is Miss Ji Meng reading a book?"

"It's been a long time since I've looked at the basic formations in the book. I can review them and teach Young Master Jiang. We can't just take away the spiritual source and then not teach him anything, can we?" Ji Meng joked.

“Miss Ji Meng is very kind, but I can read the array patterns myself. What I need is instruction on their application,” Jiang Man said with a smile. “So it would be great if Miss Ji Meng could read more books on the application of arrays.”

Ji Meng smiled and said, "Young Master Jiang has made some requests?"

“Miss Ji Meng is easy to talk to,” Jiang Man said.

Ji Meng nodded thoughtfully: "He's easy to talk to, but won't Young Master Jiang offer something in return?"

Jiang Man immediately said, "I brought a gift for Miss Ji Meng."

Ji Meng also looked at the box in Jiang Man's hand with great curiosity and said, "This box is quite old, like it was dug out of a tomb."

Jiang Man fell silent for a moment.

How come people in this world always guess correctly?

He was very curious whether Lao Meng was still alive. If he was, he could go to the Enforcement Hall to ask him for advice if he was ever unsure about something.

The problem might just be solved.

Thoughts rushed through her mind, but Jiang Man quickly put them aside.

He placed the items on the table and said, "Miss Ji Meng, you can take a look."

After the two sat down, Qingdai immediately poured Jiang Man a glass of water and said, "This is a thoughtful gift from the young master; Miss will surely like it."

Then he poured the young lady a glass of water.

Then he went behind the young lady and waited to open the box.

She was very curious about what good stuff was inside.

Judging from the son-in-law's cautious manner, he is definitely no ordinary person.

Of course, given her experience, she wouldn't be too emotionally affected by any treasure.

But when she thought about the gifts that represented the young master's feelings for the young lady, she felt that they were all extraordinary.

At this moment, Jiang Man had already moved the box in front of Ji Meng.

Ji Meng reached out and gently opened it.

Qingdai stood quietly to one side, waiting for the final gift to be presented.

The box was opened without any obstruction.

A transparent die appeared in their field of vision.

In an instant, Qingdai's smile froze.

Somewhat unbelievable.

Ji Meng looked at Jiang Man with considerable surprise and couldn't help but ask, "Does Young Master Jiang know what this is?"

“Yes, how did the son-in-law get this?” Qingdai was somewhat shocked.

She assumed that nothing would be beyond her expectations.

But to my surprise, it exceeded my expectations.

But she soon couldn't understand how her son-in-law, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, could obtain such a thing.

"Coordinates of the Immortal Path?" Jiang Man asked tentatively.

Qingdai was taken aback; her son-in-law actually knew.

Jiang Man added, "Ji Hao told me."

Ji Meng picked up the dice and asked, "You touched them?"

Jiang Man nodded: "I touched it."

"Did Young Master Ji explain the pros and cons to you?" Ji Meng asked again.

Jiang Man nodded again: "I told you."

"So what made you think of giving me this? Aren't you afraid I'll be in danger?" Ji Meng asked curiously.

Jiang Man asked rather awkwardly, "Would Miss Ji Meng like it?"

"No," Ji Meng resolutely refused. "This thing can kill people. Is Young Master Jiang dissatisfied with the marriage arrangement itself, or with the people involved?"

“Miss Ji Meng has misunderstood.” Jiang Man wasn’t worried at all and explained, “I just wanted to ask Miss Ji Meng if she wanted it, and also to tell her about my situation.”

"Perhaps we can get some advice from them."

"So it was all for gaining experience," Ji Meng said, narrowing her eyes. "Is Young Master Jiang ready?"

"What?" Jiang Man asked, puzzled.

“Spiritual Source,” Ji Meng said seriously, holding the dice. “Gaining experience naturally requires paying with Spiritual Source. Does Young Master Jiang intend to cheat me out of experience for nothing?”

Jiang Man was taken aback, but found it quite reasonable.

Having been led astray by Lao Huang, he had forgotten about the spiritual source and immediately asked how much spiritual source he needed.

Ji Meng thought for a moment and said, "One yuan a day."

"Huh?" Jiang Man was somewhat taken aback: "So cheap?"

"Cheap is expensive." A gentle breeze ruffled Ji Meng's hair, and the sound of silver bells rang out again. Ji Meng's voice followed, "One yuan a day, that's three hundred and sixty-five yuan a year. You have to pay one yuan for every day you use the method."

Jiang Man was taken aback; upon thinking about it, it was indeed quite expensive.

"Does Young Master Jiang agree?" Ji Meng asked.

"Can I buy on credit?" Jiang Man asked.

Ji Meng nodded: "Of course."

Jiang Man said gratefully, "Miss Ji Meng, you are such a kind person."

Qingdai couldn't stand it any longer and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, how did you get this thing?"

Those who obtain this die are either connected to the immortal sects or to evil gods.

The son-in-law is a disciple of a sect, and he's at the Golden Core stage.

How can I obtain it?

Jiang Man recounted the process of obtaining the information, including everything except for the guidance from Ting Fengyin and Lao Huang.

Qingdai thought that the young master might be destined to be an unparalleled genius.

Whatever happens, it's understandable.

After listening to Jiang Man's words, Ji Meng said, "The time has come, and we must roll the dice, but there is another situation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man asked, "What's going on?"

"You have already touched the dice, and now you are the one who throws them. But there is a way to make the dice not need to be thrown." Ji Meng looked at Jiang Man and continued, "That is to kill the one who throws the dice, so that the dice will wait for another three thousand years."

"So while some people want you to roll the dice, there are always others who want to wait for the next chance."

Jiang was shocked; his situation was worse than he had imagined.

"Who are the people who disagree?" Jiang Man asked.

“There’s a part from the immortal sects, a part from the evil gods, and even more from the demons,” Ji Meng said with a sigh. “Young Master Jiang, you’re in danger.”

Jiang Man really didn't expect that there were people who wanted to wait for the next opportunity.

“Young master, don’t worry too much. Most of these people are weak. They only think about the next time because they didn’t have a chance. Besides, Miss will definitely be on your side,” Qingdai comforted her.

"The weak?" Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'm relieved."

Qingdai: "."

For a moment, she didn't know whether to tell her son-in-law.

The "weak" she spoke of was completely different from the "weak" her son-in-law spoke of.

"They're not necessarily weaklings. Some just happened to miss their chance and still made a move," Ji Meng said, taking a sip of water. "Especially the immortal sects, they're the most dangerous."

Jiang Man asked in bewilderment, "Why would the immortal sects also take action?"

“The Immortal Sects aren’t all of one mind,” Ji Meng pondered for a moment and said. “Moreover, there are four Immortal Sects, and twelve sects under their direct jurisdiction.”

"With so many people, how many of them wouldn't want the evil god to grow stronger?"

Jiang Man understood that the earth was now resting and recuperating.

The introduction of dice will disrupt the current balance and bring about many troubles.

As long as he is sacrificed, relative stability can be maintained for three thousand years.

Thinking about it this way, my situation suddenly became much worse.

"Then what should I do?" Jiang Man asked for advice.

"When facing the immortal sects, you just need to demonstrate your value and continue to make a name for yourself." Ji Meng pondered for a moment, then said, "As for evil gods, it's best to find a relatively weak one, give him the dice, and let him suppress his aura as much as possible."

"It can buy you more time."

"Demons are not a concern for the time being."

"How do we find the evil god?" Jiang Man asked.

It's definitely impossible to get Lao Huang to take action. If Lao Huang does, it will be discovered immediately.

“That depends on you. You need to find an evil god that your sect won’t target,” Ji Meng said.

Qingdai chimed in, "Young master, you can find dead evil gods. Some evil gods are dead but not stiff, so they can be used."

Jiang Man had some ideas, and then he asked, "If things proceed normally, how much longer will it take for the evil god to discover me?"

"At most thirty years," Ji Meng said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man was taken aback.

Seeing the expression on her son-in-law's face, Qingdai also felt that the time was indeed too short and that he was not ready.

However, Jiang Man asked, "Is it this long?"

Qingdai was taken aback. Thirty years is not a long time.
Jiang Man was no longer in such a hurry; he wasn't as fixated on the fate of the peerless genius as he was on it.

Of course, this is different from the concept of a peerless genius; it is not fixed.

"The faster you get promoted, the shorter this time will be," Ji Meng reminded her.

Jiang Man was taken aback and said, "That's definitely not good news. I'm the kind of person who gets promoted quickly."

Qingdai: "."

The son-in-law is really not modest, but since his cultivation level is not high, it's natural that he can say such things.

Once he reaches a higher level of understanding, the son-in-law will find it difficult to say it.

Ji Meng put down her teacup, fiddled with the dice again, and said, "This dice is indeed quite powerful, but it's not suitable for you."

Jiang Man nodded: "I don't plan to use it either, there's no need."

He can walk his own path, one step at a time.

The path that preceded him is not his path.

How can we surpass those who came before us, even if we follow in their footsteps?

To define an unparalleled genius, one must walk a path that no one else can take.

“When the time comes, you must roll the dice. Even if you don’t, someone will force you to roll them.” Ji Meng put the items into the box, then closed it, and said, “But not now. You should think about how to find an evil god to suppress your aura.”

After a moment's thought, Jiang Man did come up with a solution, and immediately took out a statue and asked, "Would this work?"

An evil god resembling an ancient well.

He had his heart locked before.

The evil god has now vanished, but it's time he woke up after all these years.

Moreover, he was extremely weak.

“An ancient well-type evil god? It should be the sixth secret realm.” Qingdai immediately recognized its origin.

“I’ve been an undercover agent before, and I could do it again,” Jiang Man said.

Ji Meng nodded: "It's worth a try."

With that, Jiang Man was relieved.

Ji Meng then told him that some evil gods have extraordinary perception abilities and specifically stare at the dice.

Therefore, they will know in advance.

Some people in the Immortal Sect are the same.

This cannot be taken lightly.

In addition, Ji Meng said that as long as the evil god is dealt with, she can help him suppress his aura better.

This is free.

Thus, Jiang Man began to learn formations.

Jiang Man studied for five days this time, and now he has read three of the thirty-six books.

Before leaving, Ji Meng suddenly said, "I don't like this gift, so I'll make up for it with a regular gift next time."

Jiang Man was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll bring it to Miss Ji Meng as soon as I see anything good."

And so Jiang Man left.

Qingdai packed up the pastries and then had Jiang Man take them back with her.

As soon as Jiang Man left, Qingdai immediately said, "Miss, the young master is in great danger now."

Ji Meng looked at Qing Dai and said, "We are now at the Nascent Soul stage."

Qingdai was taken aback: "So you really don't care about the son-in-law?"

Ji Meng remained silent for a moment, not saying anything, but simply asked, "He'll prepare a gift next time he comes, so what about me?"
"Shouldn't we prepare a gift too?"

Qingdai was taken aback, thinking to herself, "We're talking about serious matters, why aren't we paying attention to the young master? Besides, Miss is just pretending to dream of Ji Meng, not really dreaming of Ji Meng. Where's your aloofness, Miss?"
Ji Meng smiled slightly and said, "Is the appearance of Immortal Dao Coordinates considered rare, given that it only happens once every three thousand years?"

Qingdai pondered for a moment: "It's quite rare."

Ji Meng continued, "How often do I arrange a marriage?"

Qingdai was taken aback. Once in a lifetime?
Ji Meng stopped speaking and stepped inside.

Not that dignified, indifferent Meng Qiewei.

Instead, it was Himemu who walked with a light step, a smile on her face, and a melodious silver bell sound.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Yunxia Peak.

The old ox looked at Jiang Man, who had returned, and said, "Your wife speaks so sweetly?"

Jiang Man was taken aback and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"His face was full of smiles," the old ox said calmly.

Jiang Man nodded: "My wife does speak very nicely. When she came in person, she was quite intimidating. But in this situation, she seems more real and not so scary."

The old ox took a bite of the herb and asked, "What suggestion did she give you?"

Jiang Man told the truth.

"Let the evil god suppress it?" The old ox pondered for a moment and said, "That should be a method used by the immortal sects. Do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, I'll see if I can get an undercover mission from Zhenyue Division, to infiltrate the followers of that ancient well-like evil god."

“Then you can communicate with the evil god and gain her support,” Jiang Man said.

The old ox asked curiously, "What if we fail?"

Jiang Man was taken aback and said, "Since we've been forced into a corner, it's even simpler. I just need to become stronger than the opponents as soon as possible, right?"

The old ox didn't say anything more, but continued to graze.

The next day.

Zhuo Bufan's cousin came looking for him.

"Did you tell your junior brother about this?" Zhuo Qingcheng asked politely.

Jiang Man nodded and said, "You said you wanted me to be a formation master?"

"Yes, this mission isn't at the sect, it's in a rather far place, so it will take quite a while." Zhuo Qingcheng asked curiously, "Will it be convenient for you, Junior Brother?"

Because the matter of colluding with the evil god had caused such a big stir, she really couldn't be sure whether Jiang Man was a free man.

"No problem, but what is the mission in general? When do we depart?" Jiang Man asked.

He needed to understand the content of the mission. If it took too long and prevented him from cultivating or reading, he would refuse.

After all, his time is very precious.

"We'll probably set off in December. The mission is to infiltrate an area where ancient cultivators gather."

"Some fellow disciples went there before, but they didn't come back. We were originally going to save it for later, but recently we received news from fellow disciples about it."

"They directly sent people to provide support. I took the opportunity to accept this task and had my junior brother join in because the formation needed to be soundproof and have its aura isolated, etc."

"In addition, some secret realms within the inner sect depend on whether the external missions have been completed," Zhuo Qingcheng said.

"Are you busy?" Jiang Man asked, voicing her concern.

Zhuo Qingcheng was taken aback, but quickly understood.

Zhuo Bufan said that Jiang Man needs time and needs to cultivate, and he will not waste time.

“Junior brother isn’t busy. Unless something happens, he can always do his own thing,” Zhuo Qingcheng said.

The mission didn't necessarily have to be with Jiang Man, but she was naturally happy to deepen her friendship with him.

Moreover, the opponent is quite strong, so there is no risk of reducing the success rate.

Therefore, Jiang Man naturally had no reason to refuse.

However, setting off next month is indeed a bit early.

His Hundred Rivers Body Refining Technique is not yet complete.

I can only learn on the way.

In addition, we need to borrow another thirty-six books.

It's definitely not as convenient or stable as cultivating in a sect.

But the missions can earn you Spiritual Resources and also high-grade spells.

But I had no choice but to go.

After all, he still lacks the ability to visualize things; if he wants to be strong enough, he also needs high-grade spells.

However, before going out, I should ask Ji Hao if there are any ancient objects that he can touch.
