The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 222 Do you prefer the new wife or the old wife?

Qingdai glanced at the old ox a few more times and noticed that the ox was somewhat aloof.

I don't know who turned it on.

Does it carry the other person's mind?

“Young master, your ox has been enlightened. It might be used by enlightened demons. Be careful,” Qingdai warned.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man nodded to indicate that he understood.

We will be more careful going forward.

"Don't worry too much. As its mind matures, it will make the right choice. Besides, if the person who has awakened their intelligence isn't strong enough, they won't be able to influence it," Qingdai explained again.

Jiang Man nodded.

Ji Meng sat down and took out the Thirty-Six Books of the Hall: "I have brought the books that Young Master Jiang requested."

Jiang Man looked at the book and immediately said, "One spirit source a day?"

Previously, it cost one yuan per book per day.

There are now thirty-six books.

That is, thirty-six pieces.

If we borrow for another seven months, how much spiritual energy will we need?

It costs over seven thousand, which is quite expensive.

However, it's cheaper than borrowing from someone else.

I previously borrowed 21 introductory books, which cost 2,000 yuan a month, and spent three or four months on them.

“No need for spiritual energy,” Qingdai said from the side, “but there’s a condition.”

Jiang Man looked at Qingdai curiously: "What are the conditions?"

Ji Meng looked over curiously: "Yeah, what are the conditions?"

"Miss Ji Meng doesn't know?" Jiang Man looked at Ji Meng in confusion.

Ji Meng nodded and said truthfully, "Yes, I don't know either. I'm just as curious as Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Man sighed, "This Qingdai is really bold."

If Meng Qiewei weren't now Ji Meng, she would probably be an ice sculpture.

Just like Old Huang before.

Qingdai smiled and waved, and then a seven-colored bird appeared on her shoulder.

“I think Miss must be bored in the sect. The young master will surely see many sights and interesting things when he goes out on missions, so he can write to Miss to keep her from being too bored,” Qingdai said seriously. “My seven-colored bird is very fast and can pass through simple restrictions, so it can definitely send the young master back with the message.”

"It can also remember tastes and quickly find people."

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised; the bird was indeed quite beautiful. However, he quickly asked curiously, "Writing letters is certainly possible, but does it carry them?"

Qingdai smiled slightly, took out something that looked like a ring, and put it on the ankle of the seven-colored bird: "Wouldn't it be better to add a storage magic item? Only the young master and young lady can open this storage magic item."

"If anyone else opens it, it will be automatically destroyed, so there will be no chance of it being stolen."

Jiang Man was shocked. How wealthy! He actually equipped his spirit pet with a storage magic item.

Qingdai looked at Ji Meng: "Miss, do you think this will work? Wouldn't it make things less boring?"

Ji Meng looked at Qingdai for a long time before saying, "It's possible."

Then he turned to look at Jiang Man: "Where is Young Master Jiang?"

“No problem for me,” Jiang Man immediately replied. “Then I’ll borrow the thirty-six books on array patterns for free?”

Ji Meng nodded: "Young Master Jiang has saved a lot of spiritual energy."

“Yes, it saves a lot of spiritual energy. Not only that, but I can also write letters to Miss Ji Meng when I go out. But Miss Ji Meng’s earrings are prettier than last time. She even changed the silver bells and has a new bracelet.” Jiang Man said casually.

Ji Meng looked at Jiang Man in surprise. Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and she, who was about to speak, subconsciously tilted her neck slightly in the direction of the wind.

A gentle breeze blew, causing her neatly styled hair to sway in the wind. Her peripheral vision swept over Jiang Man, and the brief pause seemed to pause her heartbeat.

There was a subtle sparkle in those bright eyes, like a ripple on a calm lake.

She quickly turned around and looked directly at Jiang Man.

There were no further changes.

Qingdai was somewhat shocked.

Is Miss so different today compared to before?
She was the one who tied the silver bell on; she had no idea that it had been replaced.

"Is there anything else you'd like to buy, Young Master Jiang? We also have elixirs and indigo," Ji Meng said.

Qingdai immediately took out some pills and array-related items.

Jiang Man was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered.

After a moment's thought, he said, "I want the Chaoyuan Glazed Pill and the Chaoyuan Mind-Stabilizing Pill."

He needs to improve both his physical and mental well-being.

What is mainly needed is the Chaoyuan Liuli Dan (a type of elixir).

Because in order to stabilize his cultivation level, he had absorbed all of the Flawless Chaoyuan Glazed Pill, but the Flawless Chaoyuan Stabilizing Pill was still there.

“88% off.” Ji Meng sat upright in her chair and said with a smile, “No one in the entire sect can offer a lower price than me, but the buyback price is also 88% off.”

Jiang Man took back all the Chaoyuan Shaoyang Pills without hesitation.

After all, this kind of sale only happens once.

The second time, the other party refused to sell.

Buying more Glazed Pills will still yield a huge profit.

Fifteen Shaoyang Pills were sold for over 23,000.

Including what he had on him, he had a total of 74,000.

One Glazed Pill costs two thousand three hundred.

Currently, it is estimated that around 55 stars are needed for promotion, which is more than 110,000 stars.

Not enough.

In the end, I spent 70,000 yuan to buy 35 of them.

He then exchanged the Sun Pill for twenty Glazed Pills and twenty Mind-Stabilizing Pills.

Finally, ten Chaoyuan Sun Pills, fifty-five Chaoyuan Glazed Pills, and twenty Chaoyuan Mind-Stabilizing Pills, along with four thousand spiritual resources, were used to exchange for array materials.

Now we're really broke.

After buying the items, Jiang Man took out a pen and began to write down the transaction details.

"What are you doing?" Ji Meng asked, leaning closer.

Jiang Man replied, "If the Enforcement Hall wants to see my transaction records, I'll write them down and send them over, so they don't have to check them themselves."

Ji Meng nodded and asked, "Do they believe it?"

"I don't know," Jiang Man shook his head and said, "At most, I'll ask Miss Ji Meng."

“You’ve really troubled me, you need to compensate me,” Ji Meng said.

Jiang Man raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Meng beside him, saying, "If there's anything good to eat while we're out, I'll bring some back for Miss Ji Meng."

Ji Meng nodded and said, "I have some Qingdai pastries here. I'll give them to you as a token of my appreciation."

Jiang Man put the food away and said, "I'll keep it to eat out."

At this moment, Qingdai had already arrived beside the old ox and asked, "Old ox, can you only eat grass?"

The old ox glanced at Qingdai and continued grazing.

"I have some tea here, would you like some?" Qingdai said, brewing tea for the old ox.

The old ox glanced at it and gave it a try.

I found it tasted good, so I started eating it.

"I stole this from Miss's place, it's only for my own people," Qingdai said earnestly. "You are the young master's spirit pet, and I am Miss's maid."

“We can tell at a glance that we are one of our own.”

"On one side."

"If anything happens to your son-in-law in the future, remember to let me know."

The old ox kept its head down and continued eating tea leaves, completely ignoring the indigo.

Qingdai asked curiously, "Why are you so quiet? Hasn't your husband given you anything to eat?"

The old ox remained unmoved.

They didn't take Qingdai seriously at all.

Qingdai didn't mind and continued, "Tell me what the young master says about the young lady behind her back, and I'll tell you what the young lady says about the young master behind her back, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the old ox raised its eyebrows slightly and said, "Okay."

Qingdai was overjoyed and said, "Then it's settled. From now on, we'll be on the same side. I'll find a chance to steal some of your tea leaves for you to eat."

The old ox lowered its head and grazed, ignoring everything.

After that, Hime and the others went back.

Jiang Man let out a heavy sigh of relief and said, "Old Huang, my wife is really beautiful."

Old Huang paused, munching on grass, and raised his eyebrows to ask, "New bride or old bride?"

Jiang Man smiled confidently and said, "How could a peerless genius like me fall into this trap? I only have one wife."

“They have different personalities and appearances,” Old Huang said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man remained calm and truthfully replied, "I don't judge people by their appearance. Of course, my wife is indeed very beautiful, but I don't judge people by their looks."

Old Huang asked curiously, "Then what do you rely on?"

Jiang Man smiled mysteriously: "You'll know once you marry one."

The old ox remained silent, head down, grazing.

Jiang Man took out some pastries and said, "This is for you. My wife gave it to me."

Old Huang fell silent once again.

After that, Jiang Man began to study how to attract the seven-colored bird.

That way he can write letters to his wife.

He doesn't resist anything.

As for whether I will be killed, at least not now.

Furthermore, he has Lao Huang, so he has a certain ability to escape.

In this situation, there's no need to think about those dangers anymore.

Since he lacks the ability, thinking about it is pointless; he might as well just follow his heart.

The next day.

early morning.

Jiang Man stopped cultivating and said to the old ox, "Old Huang, I have to go out again. This time, Lao Chang might not have enough money to help me pay the rent."

"Tell him not to force himself, and if it really doesn't work, he can borrow from Xiao Pang. "I still have six thousand every month, and I can pay it back when I get back."

"Tell him to let you know if anything comes up."

The old ox asked, "How long will you be gone this time?"

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "The undercover period must have been quite long."

The old ox continued, "Will I see that person again?"

“If it really takes that long, we will naturally meet,” Jiang Man nodded and said.

"You'd better ask that person what techniques and spells Drunken Life should use if he encounters other people," the old ox said calmly.

Jiang Man was taken aback.

He hadn't thought about that question.

I always thought I would stay hidden in the shadows.

But if one day I were to meet these people, that would indeed be a big problem.

First, appearance; second, techniques and methods.

We can't just use what we know now, can we?
Wouldn't that be easy to spot?
This is not good.

You need to know that in their eyes, you are extremely powerful and have a very influential background.

Such a person, in the end, embodies the principle of all rivers flowing into the sea.

If I were seen, how embarrassing would that be?

We definitely need Tingfengyin's help.

After that, Jiang Man bid farewell to the old ox.

When he returns, he may not be at the current mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Rather, it is the terrifying late-stage Golden Core realm.

Especially the "all rivers flow into the sea" type, which becomes increasingly powerful as time goes on.

The only pity is that the visualization method is still a simplified one.

Outside the sect.

Jiang Man saw Zhuo Qingcheng and the others.

"Am I late?" Jiang Man asked curiously as he approached the other person.

"No, we just arrived early." Zhuo Qingcheng smiled and looked at the three people beside her. "Let me introduce you, these are all our team members."

Then Zhuo Qingcheng introduced everyone.

Among them, the alluring woman, Han Meixue, smiled and said, "I heard you are the number one genius of the outer sect, and seeing you today, I can confirm it."

Jiang Man looked at the other person and nodded, saying, "You do have good taste."

Han Meixue was taken aback, seemingly not expecting such a response, and continued, "I've heard you're skilled in formations. This time, we'll have to rely on you for anything related to formations."

Jiang Man nodded: "Okay, but I won't intervene if it's not a formation."

Han Meixue hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you think I'm pretty?"

Jiang Man was taken aback and said, "She's far inferior to my Daoist partner."

Han Meixue's face stiffened, and she forced a smile in return.

Zhuo Qingcheng said, "Now that we've made the arrangements, let's set off as soon as possible. It will take quite a while to get there."

The five then flew away on their swords.

On the way, Han Meixue said to the other two men, "I'm sure, he might like men. You two be careful."

Longyang Xia, Jiang Wen: "."

They were actually quite surprised by Jiang Man's reaction.

The other person's eyes remained unchanged, and they directly stated that they had a Daoist partner.

Of course, the other party's arrogance was indeed genuine.

He praised her without any modesty.

Jiang Man paid no attention to the stares and thoughts of others.

Instead, he began to cultivate.

"Isn't it a bit much? Cultivating on a flying sword?" Han Meixue frowned. "Wouldn't that make it easy to lose focus?"

Jiang Wen shook his head and said, "Sword control doesn't take much mental effort, so it's possible to cultivate, but the effect might not be as good. He might as well come to our flying sword, where he can concentrate on cultivation."

"Should we remind him that if he encounters any problems in his cultivation, it would be a loss for our team? I'm afraid that he might try to show off his diligence and end up making things worse. That's just how young people are; their mentality isn't stable enough," Long Yangxia said.

Han Meixue pondered for a moment and said, "Did he see my beauty and deliberately try to get my attention like this?"

"However, he is indeed very capable, and he has already caught my attention."

The burly Long Yangxia ignored Han Meixue and instead looked at Zhuo Qingcheng: "Senior sister, should we remind her?"

Zhuo Qingcheng thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Let's leave it at that for now, no need to say anything more."

"Since he did this, he must have been quite confident."

Zhuo Qingcheng also wanted to see what Jiang Man was trying to show off, or whether he could actually cultivate normally.

This allows us to determine the other person's personality and abilities.

If they truly possess such strength, the other party will certainly have other options should they encounter similar situations in the future.

This is essential for determining subsequent choices.

If we fail this time, we'll have to be careful next time.

Whether it's due to their actual ability or their eagerness for quick success, it's obvious.

after one day.

They saw that Jiang Man was not unsteady at all.

Two days later.

They discovered that Jiang Man didn't even glance at them.

three days later.

They discovered that Jiang Man was working tirelessly, completely isolating himself from external influences.

They were somewhat surprised, feeling that there was a reason why some people could succeed.

Five days later.

A beam of light emanated from Jiang Man's body.

Like a hundred rivers converging.

This situation shocked them.

"You've broken through?" Long Yangxia asked in surprise.

Han Meixue asked, "Is this a body-refining technique?"

Zhuo Qingcheng stared at Jiang Man and said, "The Hundred Rivers Body Refining Technique looks to be at least level ten."

The "All Rivers Flow into the Sea" series?

Ten floors?

Isn't he still in the outer gate?

The "All Rivers Flow into the Sea" series is widely recognized as difficult to master.

In the inner sect for fifty years, very few people have mastered this series of skills.

It's at most about ten floors.

The person before them hadn't even entered the inner sect yet, but was already at this level.

"A genius." Han Meixue said subconsciously, then looked at the people around her and said, "Now that he has broken through, he will definitely rest. Do you think if I go over and ask him if he likes me?"
"You want something to do with him?"

Long Yangxia and Jiang Wen ignored her.

Longyang Xia said, "He certainly has the capital to be flamboyant, but his cultivation is a bit lacking, and we don't know how he will handle things. We'll have to see how he performs during missions."

"As long as we don't do anything reckless, we won't cause any trouble."

Jiang Wen said, "We'll talk to him later and see what his opinion is on the mission. If he's too arrogant and ignorant, we'll try to prevent him from taking on the mission on his own."

Everyone nodded, and now they just had to wait for Jiang Man to finish his work.

However.
Jiang Man did not stop practicing, but continued to cultivate.

one day.

Two days.

Five days.

Ten days.

They were shocked. Didn't he take a break?

This kind of cultivation, and then continued improvement, made others uneasy.

"How about I cultivate for a while too? I can ride on your flying sword," Han Meixue said.

Zhuo Qingcheng has already immersed herself in cultivation.

Long Yangxia and the others could only take turns flying swords and then follow along to cultivate.

"What's going on?" Long Yangxia frowned. The group had inexplicably turned into ascetic monks.

If this continues, will we have to cultivate like this even when we go to places where ancient cultivators gather?

Zhuo Qingcheng sighed inwardly, suddenly understanding Zhuo Bufan a little better.

Since joining Jiang Man in the courtyard, he has not only never rested, but also spends every spare moment cultivating.

Since those with higher talent and stronger cultivation are still cultivating, how can he stop?

Fortunately, the place where I was infiltrated was relatively normal, so I wouldn't have to keep training and affecting the mission's progress.

During this time, Jiang Man finished his practice and began to write on a piece of paper.

It's been half a month, I need to write to Miss Ji.

He truthfully informed them of what had happened during those days.

For example, these people were all very easy to talk to, and no one disturbed his cultivation.

Within half a month, she even started practicing with him.

They are all practitioners who love cultivation.

He will work even harder to improve his skills so as not to be outdone by them.

The next day.

Ji Meng looked at the contents of the envelope, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Qingdai asked curiously, "Miss, what is the young master writing?"
