The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 74 The Patriarch Personally Invited Me to Marry into His Family
The world is impermanent.

Some things and some people will always surprise you.

They embarked on a path that was completely incomprehensible.

Jiang Man is such a person.

Cheng Moyang recalled that he first learned about this person because he wanted to tease Fang Yong.

This person was accidentally drawn into their situation.

At that time, the other party was someone who was about to be unable to pay the repair costs.

I thought he would be someone with nowhere else to turn.

There is no need to force the other party.

Little did anyone expect that he would rise to prominence later on.

He became an interesting poor man.

They took the opportunity to play a trick on the other party, just as they had played a trick on Fang Yong.

Let them feel some helplessness, despair, and melancholy.

This made them realize that they had absolutely nothing in common.

Just because someone studies in the same place and does the same things doesn't mean they are the same kind of person.

As for their fate, he didn't really care much.

If they can stay, they can stay; if they can't, it's just a matter of finding another follower or someone else to toy with.

It had absolutely no effect on his life.

But this seemingly insignificant person has now become a threat to him.

"The Li family even sent me a message, informing me of the results of their recent investigation, confirming that he has no one backing him," Cheng Moyang said with a smile. "The Li family hopes that I will deal with Jiang Man, and then they can take him in as well."

"The second-best of the six pavilions is worth winning over."

"I just don't know what to do with winning them over."

"Should we use this competition to kick someone while they're down, or should we enter the sect to kick them while they're down?"

Regardless of which one, once a contract is signed, you're almost guaranteed to get trampled on.

And these people basically have to agree to these contracts.

Because the higher you go, the more you need spiritual energy.

Talent is not eternal; spiritual inspiration is.

Where there is inspiration, there is genius, and there is a future.

Having talent doesn't guarantee a future.

Especially those without a background or innate talent.

Crushing a poor person with no background is still easy, even if the person has some talent.

“He did pose a threat to Young Master Cheng. We should have pressed harder back then and disqualified him outright,” said the short Young Master Yang.

"You're quite resentful?" Cheng Moyang said with a smile. "Indeed, your third place was gone because of his appearance, and you became fourth."

"But do you think he's the same person he was back then?"

"It's basically impossible to suppress him, especially in Yunqian Division."

"Otherwise, the other companies would have already made their move."

As he spoke, Cheng Moyang walked to a chair on the side, sat down, and said, "He is the number one in Qingyun Pavilion and the second in the Six Pavilions."

"How many years has it been since Qingyun Pavilion won first place among the six pavilions?"
"Use power to suppress him?"
"Qingyun Pavilion also has to agree."

"His supervisor also had to nod in approval."

“He is poor now, but he is no longer a poor person without any background.”

Young Master Yang said with some surprise, "That's true. If we directly clash with them, we'll be the ones who get tied down."

Jiang Manliu is currently the second-highest level in the Six Pavilions, at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Without the help of family influence, we can't control him anymore.

Unless you take some unorthodox or unethical means.

Cheng Moyang said calmly, "I'll say it again: we're too close to him, and our cultivation levels are similar. Once we cut off his path, our path will be cut off as well."

"I teased him because he was an interesting poor man."

"Now, he is a poor man who is valued by Qingyun Pavilion."

There's no need to provoke them.

"The Li family will definitely do something; we won't be their pawns."

After a pause, Cheng Moyang continued, "Why don't we tease Fang Yong? He's coming to find us to cultivate together."

"Maintain his image as a young master."

"I, the young master who is ranked first among the six pavilions, am with him."

So many people must envy him.

"Everyone has to call him Young Master Fang."

"He probably doesn't know how we view him yet," Yang Shao added with a smile. Cheng Moyang pondered for a moment and said, "However, we still need to keep an eye on the Sixth Courtyard during the monthly assessments."

"If Qingyun Pavilion hadn't refused to publish the rankings, those people wouldn't have been caught off guard."

Yang Shao nodded: "I don't know if he can still improve. In the last three months, there should be no room for improvement."

"The eighth level of Qi Refining is the limit for him."

They all knew how difficult it was to get promoted again.

After all, they're all at this level.

-

In the evening, Jiang Man went to the Gathering Spirit Hall again.

He realized that relying solely on the Spirit Gathering Hall might not be enough.

The eighth level of Qi Refining is quite far from the ninth level.

It will be extremely difficult to improve in the remaining time.

Poverty can indeed easily hinder his talent.

Even if he absorbs the energy quickly enough, without sufficient spiritual energy, it would be impossible for him to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining in three months.

This is something that even the eleventh level of Qi Refining Technique cannot achieve.

Moreover, his advantage diminished at this point, since those powerful cultivators had likely reached the highest level of their Qi cultivation techniques.

There is still plenty of spiritual energy.

Let alone chasing them.

It's already a good thing if you don't fall behind.

"Why doesn't anyone provide me with a large amount of spiritual resources for free?" Jiang Man asked the old ox after returning from the Spirit Gathering Hall.

The latter calmly replied, "Didn't I get you a wife for free? Even though your wife ran away."

"Old Huang, did you see from the beginning that I was no ordinary person, which is why you kept me by your side?" Jiang Man asked.

The old ox paused for a moment, then slightly raised its eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Man.

Finally, he lowered his head and continued eating grass.

Jiang Man felt a little regretful, as he was truly lacking in spiritual energy.

Now that he's at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he must have other connections.

For example, you could ask Xiao Pang or Chang Qiwen to borrow from them.

Unfortunately, in most people's eyes, the eighth level of Qi Refining is his limit.

Because the ninth level of Qi Refining is just too far away.

Moreover, the bottleneck is even thicker.

A breakthrough requires a lot of resources.

As Jiang Man was preparing to cultivate, he suddenly saw someone walking towards him step by step in the distance.

He was a middle-aged man.

“A family has come looking for you,” the old ox said.

Jiang Man became wary and asked, "Old Huang, will he attack me?"

“No, unless his family doesn’t want it anymore,” the old ox said.

"If he really doesn't want his family anymore, please remember to protect me, senior," Jiang Man pleaded.

That's when you call someone "senior".

The old ox is used to being called "Old Huang," so it's not quite used to him suddenly being called "senior."

At this moment, the power within Jiang Man's body was circulating.

At the eighth level of Qi Refining, one should be able to try to escape from here.

If we can get into the guard post, we'll be safe.

"Are you nervous?" Luo Huaili asked, looking at Jiang Man.

The person who came was none other than Luo Huaili, the head of the Luo family, who was eager to find a son-in-law.

"Next time I'm better than you, I'll visit you late at night too. I hope you won't be nervous," Jiang Man thought to himself, but his mouth didn't say anything offensive: "Senior, you're looking for me?"

"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Luo, and I am the head of the Luo family," Luo Huaili said seriously. "You should know why I've come to see you this time."

Finding a son-in-law? Jiang Man immediately had the answer in his heart.

But he was still puzzled: "Does this kind of thing require the senior to come in person? And in the middle of the night no less."

"I came in a bit of a hurry, but I really can't wait any longer. I've come to invite you to join the Luo family. You can name any other conditions you want," Luo Huaili said sincerely to Jiang Man.

"I will not marry into the family."

"That won't work."
