The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 273 I Don't Know How I Lost

It was indeed surprising that the Ji family missed the test.

Normally, they should have enough time.

But this time there were too many unexpected events.

First, the secret realm has changed; second, Jiang Man came out too quickly.

But once it's missed, it's missed.

It doesn't matter if it's fake.

Because most people still believe that Jiang Man married Ji Meng, who was from a collateral branch of the family.

These people will naturally underestimate them.

However, a very small number of Ji family members are aware of the rumors and will clear their name.

The Grand Elders, who were the instigators, were even more enthusiastic.

Ji Meng drank her water and pondered for a moment before asking, "Young Master Ji, who won the fight between you and Peak Master Bai?"

"After fighting for so long, no one knows the final result, but I think Young Master Ji should have won." Qingdai said with a smile, "After Peak Master Bai finished fighting, he stopped going out, but Young Master Ji often went out. At that time, I almost went to sense the process."

"It's a real pity we didn't get to see Young Master Ji's skills."

The Ji family is still unsure of just how far the new prodigy has grown.

If we could witness him in action, we would know a great deal about him.

Unfortunately, they only emerged as spirits, and unless they used their physical bodies, they were unable to observe a battle that had been deliberately blocked.

After a pause, Qingdai continued, "After the rumors about the Ji family spread, many things about Miss will become complicated. The Bai family patriarch will probably come looking for her soon and will take action sooner or later."

Ji Meng put down her water glass and said calmly, "It is indeed a bit complicated. Now that the evil god is active, the situation will become even more complicated."

“It seems I need to make some preparations. Assassinating the Bai family patriarch, his cultivation level should be similar to ours,” Qingdai said. Then, remembering something, she asked, “Isn’t the son-in-law also in danger? He will also become the center of the vortex.”

Not only that, many people will start to speculate on how long the son-in-law will live.

From the moment someone marries a young lady, everyone subconsciously starts thinking about this question.

Because those who possess the destiny of unparalleled genius all end up the same way.

It's still early, and our cultivation levels are still weak, so we're at peace with each other.

"I've become an ancestor?" Jiang Man looked at Ji Hao with a bewildered expression as he left the Enforcement Hall prison.

"It was indeed somewhat unexpected," Ji Hao said with a smile. "The decision made by the family's higher-ups was for the benefit of the family, but I have no way of knowing the specifics."

"But it feels a bit absurd."

"But the fact is that it was agreed to be implemented."

Jiang Man thought he had been exposed, but it turned out he had been exposed in this way.

Why would the higher-ups in the Ji family have such an absurd idea?
What benefits made Meng Qiewei nod in agreement?

Although it seemed a bit inexplicable, in the eyes of the Ji family's higher-ups, he was a fake Meng Qiewei Daoist partner.

Fortunately, he was real, otherwise he would have suffered for nothing.

"So the Ji family will give me a life-protecting magic treasure that will teleport me back if I'm killed?" Jiang Man asked.

Ji Hao nodded: "Not only you will have it, but Ji Meng will too. Of course, your marriage will not change. After you fail and return, you will be able to come out again, and your identities will be announced then."

Jiang Man thought there was no need to announce it, because Ji Meng couldn't come out.

How will your Ji family deal with this then?

He didn't quite understand the Ji family's actions.

However, there is a big problem: as a Daoist couple, Meng Qiewei will definitely attract a lot of attention.

Especially the Bai family patriarch who recently emerged.

The opponent seems to be at odds with Meng Qiewei and intends to kill her clone.

Now there's a possibility that I might also be targeted by them.

Therefore, finding the other party and sending them back should indeed be put on the agenda.

We must get in touch with Master Taihua as soon as possible and try to find the Bai family patriarch using his information.

However, even Taihua dared not search openly.

It will take quite a while.

"So what should I do now?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

Now that my identity has changed, does everything else have to change too?
"Just continue cultivating. Even if this news gets out, only a limited number of powerful individuals will know about it. Not many people in this sect will know," Ji Hao said.

"So nothing has changed?" Jiang Man asked.

"The only change is whether there are powerful figures secretly watching you. No matter how much this kind of news spreads, it won't reach the sect." Ji Hao paused, then continued, "Actually, there's another change: some people might have been bribed to test you."

Speaking of these things, Ji Hao was curious about the Ji family's probing.

Jiang Man truthfully replied that he had never seen it.

Upon hearing this, Ji Hao said helplessly, "Now the Ji family will have to resort to forgery. A new change is coming, and you will be criticized for forgery."

"In the minds of some strong people, it means you are not strong enough."

"That's a good thing too."

Jiang Man didn't care about any of this; it had no effect on him.

Moreover, since he has already attained the state of primordial spirit, it's only a matter of time before his light shines upon the Ji family.

“Your identity is a significant matter, but for you right now, the direct impact is small. However, the Ji family will provide compensation.” Ji Hao looked at Jiang Man and said, “Tell me what you want.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man immediately perked up, "I know this question well."

He immediately replied, "Mr. Ji, please decide what to give."

Ji Hao looked at Jiang Man and asked with a smile, "What is your cultivation level now?"

"Early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm," Jiang Man replied truthfully.

Ji Hao looked surprised: "The progress is very fast, so here's a high-grade cultivation technique for you to choose from. You can choose which one you want."

"Then I'll give you a book on primordial spirit insights. I need to check your condition and then rewrite it to suit your needs."

"In addition, there are 200,000 spirit resources. Since no spells or magic treasures were given, we will give an extra 100,000 spirit resources."

That is, 300,000 spiritual resources.

"Finally, there's the protective magic item given to me by the Ji family."

Listening to this series of things, Jiang Man felt that people need to learn to make up for their own shortcomings.

Stubbornness can easily lead to losses.

See, changing just one sentence made a fortune.

We already have two superior-grade cultivation techniques and one superior-grade spell technique; now we only need one more superior-grade cultivation technique.

In this way, one won't need to travel around for cultivation techniques during the primordial spirit stage.

"Then I'll prepare to focus on my cultivation," Jiang Man said.

“We’re going to Ji Meng’s place too,” Ji Hao said. “Although your identities have changed, you don’t need to worry about it. Just act as usual.”

Jiang Man nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Another thing is the Immortal Path Coordinates. It's been a long time, and some evil gods might have started to notice. You could try selling information, since you're now a representative of the evil gods, and it's easy for you to contact these people," Ji Hao said.

The immortal coordinates will attract evil gods, which is indeed a problem.

Fortunately, Mr. Ji was there to hold things up.

In addition, he also had to find a way to lure the evil god over.

After all, that's a huge amount of spiritual energy.

Correspondingly, he also had to find an evil god to suppress the immortal coordinates.

It's time for Linghua Xianling to awaken.

Afterwards, Jiang Man inquired about the Yuan Shen Technique, asking which technique was the strongest and most difficult.

He intends to cultivate this.

The Baichuan series made him feel completely outmatched by its peers.

Ji Hao nodded: "I'll go back and look for it for you."

Later, Ji Hao got into a fight with Jiang Man in order to write his reflections.

After doing all this, he stepped into the air and left.

Before leaving, he reminded Jiang Man that if any strangers asked about the eldest daughter of the Ji family, he should tell them.

I fear danger may be approaching.

Jiang Man nodded to indicate that he understood.

He could tell what these people were there for.

If he came because of rumors, he would naturally inform Ji Hao.

But if Tingfengyin asks, then naturally I cannot say.

However, he wasn't sure if Tingfengyin would be available, and he wondered what he would think if he heard the news.

It's quite troublesome.

As a weak but exceptionally talented individual, he was drawn into the world of powerful figures far too early.

It's not that the strong are troublesome; it's that his talent is too high. Afterwards, Jiang Man flew on his sword towards Ji Meng's residence.

Now that we're out, we should naturally go to Ji Meng's place and then take a look at the courtyard.

However, the pressure from Bai Fengzhu is still there, and it seems they are not very happy to see him.

A thousand yuan per person, and we might not see each other for months.

That's considered giving them a discount.

Otherwise, it would cost at least a thousand a month.

Soon, he arrived at Ji Meng's residence.

Knocked lightly on the door.

The door opened quickly, and it was Qingdai.

Upon seeing Jiang Man, Qingdai immediately closed the door.

Jiang was puzzled.

But the door opened again shortly afterward.

This time, it was Himemu who opened the door.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised.

“Xiao Qing has been going astray lately, insisting that I open the door for Young Master Jiang,” Ji Meng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man sighed, "It must have been difficult for Miss Ji Meng."

"It's just a short walk, not difficult at all." Ji Meng smiled and stepped aside. "Did Young Master Jiang come here because of his identity?"

Jiang Man shook his head and said, "I came here specifically to tell Miss Ji Meng after leaving the Immortal Sect Competition. Also, I brought a gift for Miss Ji Meng."

Ji Meng was somewhat surprised: "I heard the situation inside is complicated, yet Young Master Jiang still has the mind to look for gifts?"

As she spoke, she walked backwards in front of Jiang Man, facing him directly.

The other person was basking in the sunlight, smiling radiantly.

A clear, ethereal bell sound drifted over.

Jiang Man couldn't help but say, "Miss Ji Meng is truly dazzling."

Ji Meng looked at the sunlight and said, "Because the sun is too big?"

Jiang Man shook her head slightly, then spoke of the gift: "I don't know if this gift is good or not, but I think it should be good."

Because he didn't know what it was, but the Tianjian Baishu said it had collectible value.

Then we can only see what its collectible value is.

Soon the two sat down at the stone table.

"What gift did the young master bring for the young lady?" Qingdai asked curiously as she poured them water.

Jiang Man took out a small stone.

Qingdai was puzzled. Did Miss like such abstract things?
She doesn't even know.

Ji Meng looked at the stone curiously and asked, "Is there anything special about this stone?"

"Could it be that it looks good?" Qingdai wondered to herself.

But they dared not speak, only watching quietly.

What if the son-in-law and daughter both think it looks good?
She had already asked, and two people with feelings for each other see the world differently.

Any stone, once imbued with meaning, becomes a treasure in their eyes.

Qingdai didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

That's it for now.

Jiang Man flicked the stone lightly, and then the stone began to crack.

Then the outer layer of stones fell down.

A transparent pill was revealed.

A faint light shone from within, as if illuminating the starry sea. Then, a fairy descended from the stars and became the figure within the pill, dancing gracefully and beautifully before slowly dissipating.

"Celestial Elixir?" Qingdai asked instinctively, "But this is the first time I've seen a Celestial Elixir without any medicinal properties preserved so well."

Where did the son-in-law find this thing? Qingdai wondered.

"How did Young Master Jiang find it?" Ji Meng paused, picked up the bead, and said, "I really like this gift."

"I just happened to find it," Jiang Man said, half-jokingly.

It was indeed a coincidence, but its value was confirmed by the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books.

"Then what gift should I prepare for Young Master Jiang?" Ji Meng asked with a smile.

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "How about Miss Ji Meng grants me a request?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Meng looked at Jiang Man: "What request? Is it too much?"

Jiang Man smiled slightly and asked, "Has Miss Ji Meng gone out shopping?"

Ji Meng was taken aback and said, "I do go out quite rarely."

"Miss Ji Meng, would you like to go for a stroll in the streets with me tomorrow?" Jiang Man asked.

"Is this a requirement?" Ji Meng asked.

Jiang Man nodded: "Okay."

"Alright then, since we've already accepted Young Master Jiang's gift," Ji Meng said with a smile, then asked, "Tomorrow morning or afternoon?"

"Let's do it this afternoon," Jiang Man suggested.

He's going to the courtyard to collect spiritual energy tomorrow morning.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Man realized that although Peak Master Bai was still targeting him, it wasn't as intense as before.

Because Master Bai is in seclusion.

Xiaoqing told him that someone had sealed off Tianyuan Peak some time ago and fought with Peak Master Bai inside.

This is why Master Bai went into seclusion.

Jiang Man was extremely curious about who had made the move against Bai Feng.

Then Ji Meng told him it was Ji Hao.

Jiang Man was shocked.

Mr. Ji is truly a good person.

Although the targeted issue wasn't resolved, the issue itself was resolved.

However, the other party is shameless, and the targeting continues.

Defeating him won't help.

However, as the other party goes into seclusion, the effect will gradually weaken.

The downside is that it's uncertain whether we'll be able to collect the spiritual source tomorrow.

Afterwards, Jiang Man left Ji Meng's residence and returned to his cell.

He had just returned when he received a message from the man in black robes from his dream.

It's still about waking up.

Everything was ready; all that remained was for him to connect with the immortal spirit.

Begin to awaken the celestial spirits.

Most importantly, the other party said that Lingyuan was all in place and had entered the pancake shop.

-

the other side.

In the superior guest room, Tantai Xue breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "The other party's envoy has finally responded and agreed, and we have successfully connected with Linghua Immortal Spirit. Now we just have to wait for the other party to wake up."

"Now that the beginning is done, the rest will be easy." The spirit tablet breathed a sigh of relief in its deep voice.

This was also the first time he had ever encountered such a difficult celestial subordinate.

A light shone in Tantai Xue's eyes: "The success of this step will lay the foundation for our future, and also determine the future of that envoy."

"He really is a parasite, wasting so much time."

"Now, as long as the Spirit Flower Fairy awakens, I have a way to get the other party to make me become the Fairy Spirit Messenger."

"It is time for the old messengers to lay down their burdens."

“Linghua Xianling no longer needs him.”

"I wonder what he was feeling at that time."

A deep voice came from the spirit tablet, reminding us: "Don't be careless. Although this envoy is indeed good at stalling for time, we have suffered a lot in the process. He may not be completely at our mercy. We need to prepare some backup plans."

Tantai Xue nodded and began to make preparations as well.

In particular, regarding Linghua Xianling, as long as the other party nods, she can better help them.

As long as you cooperate with her, the other party's recovery speed will be extraordinary.

She didn't know how she lost.
