The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 25 If all else fails, one can only become a heretic or evil cultist.
Gathering Spirit Hall.

"Your score is good. I told you that if you train here, you will definitely achieve something."

"I didn't expect it to come true so quickly."

"Our Gathering Spirit Hall is the best place to train people, and we reward people based on their performance."

"With your score, you'll have fifty spirit resources, which guarantees you can light up five beads. Any extra bead will be worth seven spirit resources. With a little effort, you could light up seven or eight beads."

"A little over seventy a day, and two thousand spirit resources a month, which is much higher than that of ordinary people."

Manager Miao looked at Jiang Man and smiled.

Jiang Man did some mental calculations. Lighting up two more lights would add up to fifty plus fourteen, totaling sixty-four.

It's not as good as what Luo Xuan, the sparring partner, gave us.

In that instant, he understood why Song Qing insisted on being his personal bodyguard.

The other party gave far too much.

I wonder if Song Qing will actually go there in the end.

After a pause, Jiang Man said, "Is the manager going to encourage the others today? When I came here, I was only at the first level of Qi Refining, but now I'm at the third level. I can be a role model."

"It's all thanks to the Spirit Gathering Hall's nurturing."

Upon hearing this, Manager Miao looked at Jiang Man in surprise and said, "Double it?"

Jiang Man nodded seriously: "Double it."

Finally, Jiang Man pretended to grit his teeth and clicked on eight beads.

A total of seventy-one spiritual sources.

He went on stage to thank the Spirit Gathering Hall for their doubled training.

One hundred and forty-two spiritual sources.

It was a day to make a fortune.

As for whether others believe it or not.

Jiang Man felt that no normal person would believe that this place could train people.

Even if someone actually believed it, they would just hold on for a little longer before finishing their studies on the third floor and sixth pavilion and returning to their own village.

They brought back a large amount of spiritual energy.

They lived a better life than the average farmer.

The people here are basically those who have severed their path to immortality.

If the foundation is damaged, what future can there be?
Unless you're like him, having reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation, you can retain some spiritual energy to control the damage to your foundation.

However, one's cultivation level cannot be improved here.

Fortunately, he has been focusing on improving his Qi and blood recently, so he is not worried about his cultivation progress.

Jiang Man did nothing else in the days that followed.

Cultivate during the day and earn spiritual energy at night.

Once I've saved up 300, I'll buy the game meat.

Continue to improve the methods of Qi and blood.

However, during this time, Jiang Man noticed that Song Qing's mood was a bit off. When he asked him about it, Song Qing just kept shaking his head and sighing.

Not a word was mentioned.

But it does seem that they have encountered a significant setback.

Luo Xuan could tell that his expression wasn't very good either.

Jiang Man thought of a handkerchief.

It seems the other party was fishing, but unfortunately, the fish didn't take the bait; instead, Song Qing did.

Jiang Man was helpless, as both the first and second place winners had grudges against him.

Try to avoid them.

Otherwise, it will delay your cultivation.

half a month later.

Jiang Man earned a thousand spirit resources, which he used to buy beast meat.

He also used all his free time to cultivate his Qi and blood.

However, even with the Nine-Layer Qi and Blood Technique, the cultivation speed is not that fast. He has only just managed to open the third Qi and Blood Gourd.

His body has indeed become much stronger.

The Six Harmonies Palm became even more powerful in his hands.

The speed of the Divine Step also increased significantly.

Indeed, improvements in cultivation level and blood energy can affect the power of spells.

Early October.

The teachers in each courtyard began to emphasize the importance of rules, urging everyone to focus on their cultivation and not to act recklessly.

Even the entire Yunqian Company started cleaning and tidying up.

Even Jiang Man's stables were repaired and then he was asked to clean them.

The crowd was puzzled, but under pressure from the authority of the master and Yun Qiansi, they had no choice but to comply.

Three days later, news finally spread that people from the Misty Cloud Sect were coming.

They are said to be here to investigate.

Three days later.

There are also rumors that the sect's powerful figures will inspect the three floors and six pavilions, as well as the three main courtyards in the front, middle, and rear.

If you are valued, you can rise rapidly in your career.

In an instant, everyone became more enthusiastic about cultivation.

Although I feel like it's unlikely to be my turn, what if it is?
There's always a chance of something going wrong.

What if I get noticed?

That would change one's destiny.

Jiang Man was also somewhat surprised to hear this.

However, he knew that the people from the sect had not come to investigate, but had come by chance for some reason.

The benefit given to Yun Qiansi was three high-grade mortal-level cultivation techniques.

It seems Mr. Zhao wasn't lying, but I haven't received the news yet.

The only option is to continue waiting.

If this path is blocked, then in the end I will really have to leave Luoyun City and become a heretic.

October 14th.

Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief after consuming the newly purchased beast meat.

The third Qi and Blood Gourd is full.

You can start improving your cultivation level.

But with only one month left, it will probably cost a lot of Spirit Gathering Pills.

He's not earning spiritual energy very quickly these days.

I can only buy a maximum of six per month, and six is ​​probably far from enough.

"Brother Jiang, what are you doing?" Little Fatty asked curiously as he approached Jiang Man. "Thinking about tomorrow?"

As he spoke, he whispered, "Brother Jiang, are you confident you can make it into the top fifteen tomorrow?"

Jiang Man turned to look at the chubby boy eating jerky, pondered for a moment, and realized that if he continued like this, he would definitely not be able to successfully advance to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

We should try a different approach.

Earning spirit resources is just too slow.

For short-term needs, you shouldn't earn money, you should borrow.

"Xiao Gao, I heard you get quite a bit of spiritual energy every month?" Jiang Man asked.

Of course, I'd never heard of it; I just made it up on the spot.

Little Fatty was a little surprised, then shook his head: "No, it's all rumors. My family doesn't give me spiritual resources."

Jiang Man was surprised: "Not a single cent?"

"Not a single cent," the chubby boy said firmly.

This truly surprised Jiang; it seems this place won't work.

Then we can only turn to Mr. Zhao and hope he can help us.

Before Jiang Man could even begin to cultivate, the chubby boy said, "They all give me Spirit Gathering Pills, six a month. I have ten left. Do you want them, Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Man was stunned. Six pills a month, half a month has passed, how come there are four more?

"I can't finish them all," Little Fatty said helplessly, spreading his hands. "I can't absorb that many. Each one is actually a waste of a lot of medicinal power."

This situation can indeed occur if one's Qi cultivation level is insufficient.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Man decided to borrow six pills.

Adding the 2,100 spirit resources he earned, he had a total of thirteen Spirit Gathering Pills.

In addition, there was continuous effort at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Method.

He could barely reach the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Once you open the sixth gourd, you'll reach the sixth level of Qi Refining.

It's a bit lacking, but it's qualified.

After giving Jiang Man six Spirit Gathering Pills, the chubby boy asked in a low voice, "Should we borrow the opportunity from the Spirit Gathering Hall?"

"An opportunity at the Spirit Gathering Hall?" Jiang Man knew about the Spirit Gathering Hall and understood that some people could enter it to cultivate.

Starting with 1,000 spiritual resources.

One thousand spirit resources is the amount of one ordinary Spirit Gathering Pill.

The only difference is that the spiritual energy in the Gathering Spirit Hall is easier to absorb.

It is extremely beneficial for those at a low level of Qi Refining.

"With so many resources, how come you're only at the second level of Qi Refining?" Jiang Man asked incredulously.

“I didn’t have so many resources before because I didn’t work hard. Now that I’m advancing with Brother Jiang, I have more resources, but the requirements are also higher.” After a pause, Little Fatty immediately said, “So Brother Jiang, you need to train hard and strive to improve your ranking.”

Jiang Man was taken aback. What did this have to do with his own advancement?
