The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 32 The Splendor of First Place

Little Fatty had no doubts about his ranking.

He's now fifth from the bottom, having eliminated quite a few people by a single point.

With the help of the Spirit Gathering Hall, he made rapid progress.

He works hard, and his family is willing to provide him with resources.

I'm just too tired.

Simply by following Jiang Man in cultivation, he has already worked harder than most people.

If it weren't for having good resources of my own.

I really can't keep up with other people who work this hard.

However, no matter how hard they try, the final outcome will be the same: they will be unable to obtain a spot and join the Mist Cloud Sect.

So despite his efforts, he still accepted his mediocrity.

Just because the best path is unavailable doesn't mean there's no other way.

We still need to prevent physical abuse and comparisons within the family.

Because of Jiang Man's rise to power, his family members would compare him to Jiang Man.

Especially since the other side ranked in the teens.

I'm only about ten places behind him, not a big gap, and I can catch up.

If the other party can do it, why can't he?
To make her family understand that she was truly incapable, she could only place her hopes on Jiang Man.

I hope they can make it into the top ten.

Although Jiang Man said that it would be difficult to get into the top ten this time, it would be good to get into the top eleventh or twelfth.

Although the gap is still about ten places, the significance is different now.

So he waited for the list to be announced at noon.

He didn't care that Jiang Man didn't come.

I already mentioned it yesterday, and I don't know what I've been busy with.

Perhaps it's because of the previous arrest.

This must have been a big deal, but strangely enough, all three of them were unharmed.

This indicates that Chang Qiwen also has someone behind him.

While waiting, Song Qing came over and asked about Jiang Man.

He told the truth.

Afterwards, Song Qing asked Jiang Man what his approximate ranking was.

Little Fatty hesitated for a moment and said, "If it's good, then eleven or twelve."

Upon hearing this, Song Qing exclaimed in amazement, "This progress is too fast!"

It's hard to imagine how many resources Luo Xuan provided to enable Jiang Man to progress so rapidly.

He envied and longed to become Luo Xuan's bodyguard.

Not too much is needed; one-third of Jiang Man's resources will suffice.

Even one-tenth would be fine.

At least they can stay in Luoyun City openly and honestly.

It's not like we need to go back to the village.

The time has finally come for the rankings to be announced.

Little Fatty immediately focused his attention on the tenth place.

Xie Kecheng, ranked tenth, scored fifty points.

Pity.

Little Fatty was quite helpless.

He then looked at eleven and twelve.

It turned out that it wasn't that either.

"No way? He had a bad day?"

Normally, there shouldn't be any mishaps during tests and assessments.

Then he looked at thirteen and fourteen.

No.

Fifteen sixteen.

still none.

For a moment he realized he might be wrong and should have looked at the top ten.

Next comes the ninth and eighth.

No.

Seventh and sixth.

Nor is it.

Fifth and fourth.

Not yet.

For a moment, he was confused.

Where did Jiang Man go?
"Song Qing, have you seen Jiang Man? I can't find him." Little Fatty nudged Song Qing next to him and asked.

At this moment, Song Qing mechanically raised his hand and said, "Look there."

Little Fatty looked in the direction Song Qing pointed.

He then froze on the spot, a strange chill spreading throughout his body, making his scalp tingle.

He saw the ranking at the very top.

Jiang Man ranked first with 64 points.

"Is it fake?" Little Fatty was a little unconvinced.

Not only him, but others as well.

They knew that Jiang Man would make progress.

But I never thought he could reach the top.

First place. Being number one requires not only talent but also a lot of resources.

Especially to quickly rise to the top, the resources required are already enormous.

They first considered Luo Xuan, then Fang Yong.

But Jiang Man.
How could it be him?

Luo Xuan stood there, extremely surprised.

Fang Yong was even more shocked.

Cheng Yu squinted, seemingly lost in thought.

Chang Qiwen recalled that he felt Jiang Man was deliberately showing weakness in order to send him to the law enforcement office.

Then some sounds came.

"Wasn't Jiang Man trained by Luo Xuan? How come he surpassed Luo Xuan?"

"I don't know. Is there something more to it?"

Hearing these sounds, Luo Xuan left in silence.

She used to think that such rumors were a compliment to Jiang Man, but now they were a slap in the face.

-

the other side.

Jiang Man entered a courtyard.

This courtyard has three courtyards, and Jiang Man lives in the outermost courtyard, which has six rooms.

"Go to room number one and wait. Everyone will be here soon. You can't just wander around here. Everyone with this type of token is in room number one. There are three types of tokens in total," the guard explained patiently.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man expressed his gratitude.

The other party then paused for a while.

Seeing this, Jiang Man had no choice but to give him ten spirit sources.

Only after such a guard did they leave, satisfied.

These few words cost him ten spiritual resources.

Being a guard here is a real way to earn spirit resources.

After waiting there for a while, Jiang Man saw people coming in one after another.

These people will observe the people inside as they come in.

Especially external things, like clothes.

Five people entered after them, dressed in fine silks and satins.

Jiang Man wore only coarse linen clothes.

The difference is self-evident.

At this moment, the tall man came to Jiang Man's side and asked curiously, "Which family trained you to be a live-in son-in-law?"

Jiang Man: "."

After a pause, the other party shook his head and said, "Even a live-in son-in-law isn't as shabby as you. You're probably a death squad member who's already signed a contract to sell himself into servitude, aren't you?"
"Is it the Luo family?"
"There's nothing outstanding about their family, and their foundation seems to have some problems, so it's normal for them to hire a bodyguard."

"Forget it, you don't need to answer me. I have no intention of becoming friends with you anyway."

Jiang Man: "."

The others chuckled as well.

Nobody paid any attention to an ugly duckling.

Jiang Man didn't care; time would prove everything.

It's just that I haven't been awake for very long.

But within six months at most, all of these people will be his defeated opponents.

There is no rush.

Soon everyone quieted down.

Then two young people, a man and a woman, came in.

The man looked calm and exuded a powerful aura, causing everyone to lower their heads involuntarily.

Everyone was taken aback. What level of major repair was this?

Even those men and women who were originally arrogant did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"I won't verify your qualifications. Now I'll speak, you listen, don't ask questions, figure it out yourselves," the man said, looking at the crowd below. "Understand?"

Everyone lowered their heads, indicating that they understood.

At this moment, regardless of wealth or poverty, everyone is equal before this great repairman.

"Sit down." The man's voice fell, and he casually waved his hand, saying, "Read the book for half an hour, and then I will explain it to you for an hour. You will all be able to understand it before midnight."

"Leave a book after midnight to confirm whether it was successful, and then you may leave."

Jiang Man began to examine the books as soon as he received them.

The first thing you see are five large characters: "Water and Wood Contemplation Method".

The Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books were activated immediately.

The book then stops at the last page.

Not worth mentioning.

Jiang Man: "."

Jiang Man then opened the book to take a look, and the first page contained the visualization diagrams and records.

The design depicts a large cauldron formed by the convergence of water and wood.

The inscription on the side reads: It is said that the universe is in harmony, water nourishes the virtue of wood, taking the image of the interaction of Kan and Li, following the mechanism of natural growth, taking the Azure Dragon Jia and Yi as the body, and the Black Tortoise Ren and Gui as the function, integrating the function of water and fire in balance, to form the cauldron of life-giving water and wood.

Jiang Man continued reading.

He found the text to be obscure and difficult to understand. Even if it were given to him without guidance, he might not be able to understand it, let alone learn it.

this.
too difficult.

Without a foundational understanding, it's like reading gibberish.

No wonder the simplified method is the most commonly used.
