The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 79 Everyone else gives 30,000, but your Li family only gives 10,000.

"We meet again," a calm voice said.

This should put Jiang Man on guard.

Not long after it got dark, he saw an acquaintance on the road.

People from the Li family have arrived.

The other party stood in the way he had to go back, leaving him nowhere to hide.

But just like last time, he was rude.

They never told me how to address them.

"The Li family is looking for me?" Jiang Man asked.

Old Jin remained calm and said without any change in his expression, "I heard you didn't hand over the cultivation gold? Are you planning to just miss out on a mid-grade cultivation technique like this?"

"The Li family wants to borrow my spiritual energy?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

“Sign a contract with the Li family, and the Li family can provide 10,000 spirit resources for you,” Old Jin said.

Jiang Man shook his head and explained, "Your conditions are too poor. You offer 10,000 spirit resources a month, while the Fang family offers 30,000 a month. I still refused. Not only that, the Gao family also said that since I failed to enter the sect, I don't have to return the resources, and the contract is void."

"The Li family truly lacks ambition; it's not that I'm out of touch with reality."

Since the other party doesn't know the conditions offered by each family, there's nothing wrong with what I'm saying.

Upon hearing this, Lao Jin frowned.

They seemed surprised that the Fang family would offer such a high price.

Immediately, he regained his composure and said, "For you, 10,000 spirit resources are enough to enter the sect. Geniuses have their own rules. When joining the Li family, this amount of spirit resources is never the key point."

"Can a few months of spiritual energy compare to the long years you've spent in the sect?"
"Whether one can stand out after entering the sect is something only the Li family can guarantee."

"They don't have that kind of strength."

"You need to broaden your horizons and look to the future."

"The spiritual source is merely a means to mislead you; your future achievements are what you should be focusing on."

Jiang Man said helplessly, "The Cheng family also said they could help me get better training opportunities. They have important people in the Luo family sect who can lend me a hand. Everything is up to me."

"The Li family's circumstances are indeed ordinary."

Old Jin remained silent for a moment.

It seems they hadn't considered this possibility.

"Then how will you hand over your 10,000 cultivation gold? Without this mid-grade cultivation technique, you might only be able to compete with the bottom-ranked group in the sect assessment in August."

"If we get it, then we might be able to enter with a mid-level qualification," Old Jin said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man was taken aback. Mid-August, medium?
How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?

This is someone who knows nothing about him.

“Even if you don’t sleep, it won’t change anything.” Old Jin looked at Jiang Man and continued, “Besides, you may not know what kind of abilities the Li family has. Go to the Gathering Spirit Hall today and you will find out.”

Jiang Man frowned. Was this going to make him lose his job?
It is indeed a tactic.

However, the Gathering Spirit Hall is within the jurisdiction of the Cloud Front Division.

I wonder if Mr. Zhao can stop it.

But that's nothing. He happens to have some spiritual resources now, so losing his job isn't so terrible.

That's the confidence that comes from having savings.

Without this money, and if I lose my job again, I won't even be able to afford food.

That's what you call being at your wit's end.

Seeing that Jiang Man did not speak, Lao Jin continued, "Losing income must be a troublesome thing for you. Besides, if you can tolerate the lack of mid-grade cultivation techniques this time, what will you do if you get nothing in the next competition?"
"Can you improve without any resources?"
"Standing still is the most terrible regression."

You should think this through carefully.

"It takes three people to compete for a spell or technique."

"What if someone chooses to give up on that day?"
I think you'll figure it out. I'm waiting for your choice.

"Just find your responsible person and sign the contract."

After saying that, Lao Jin left without saying anything more.

Jiang Man watched the other person leave, and in the end, he didn't say anything more.

Mr. Zhao has already informed him of these matters.

The team of three was to enter the forest together and compete for magical abilities.

Otherwise, one cannot acquire magic.

Because of this, Li Yuan didn't do anything to him beforehand, but instead chose to surround him when the time came.

The original intention was still to prevent him from escaping.

Now, the roles of offense and defense have changed.

You became the one who needed the other person's participation.

Instead, they were manipulated.

Even the most outstanding talents can be held back.

Jiang Man shrugged and stopped thinking about it.

Instead, they headed to the Gathering Spirit Hall.

Now that things have come to this, the competition is left to fate.

Whether or not they can obtain the magic depends entirely on Li Yuan and his group.

There was only one thing he could do.

Improve your cultivation and continue your efforts.

Any evil or crooked practices are simply due to one's own insufficient cultivation.

With such talent right there, the solution is incredibly simple. Manager Miao, Li Yuan, and Fang Tianyi all succumbed to their own innate abilities.

Upon arriving at the guard post, Jiang Man went straight to where Manager Miao was.

The two guards who saw Jiang Man enter were both shocked and moved.

The older one couldn't help but say, "What did I tell you? People like him are the most likely to succeed. If we had mocked him back then, we wouldn't be sitting here so peacefully."

The younger guard nodded emphatically: "I still need to learn more."

Both of them looked relieved.

However, things are quite difficult for Manager Miao.

Jiang Man cannot enter this area for the time being.

"This is the order from above. It seems some families are targeting you. You should find a powerful backer," Manager Miao advised.

Jiang Man nodded and said, "Okay."

Jiang Man didn't linger. Now that the matter was confirmed, it was up to Mr. Zhao.

Let's see if he can hold on.

Manager Miao, worried that Jiang Manxin might be unhappy, gave him a Spirit Gathering Pill.

He said to use it first, and to notify him as soon as things are resolved here.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected to gain this much.

However, this time he was too embarrassed to accept it directly, and said he would owe it to her first and pay her back when he was better off.

Now, even one more pill would be extremely beneficial.

The next day.

Jiang Man told Mr. Zhao about the Gathering Spirit Hall.

"It's nothing. Just focus on your cultivation. You can go whenever you want after noon," Mr. Zhao said casually.

really.

It's just noon.

The Gathering Spirit Hall sent a message saying that the problem had been resolved.

I can go anytime.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to personally inform the Li family member at this time.

But it’s okay.

The third battle is not far off.

Soon the other party will find out that this kind of unorthodox method can be used to deal with other geniuses.

But to deal with a peerless genius is to make an enemy.

The Sixth Courtyard.

Little Fatty came up to Jiang Man and asked, "Brother Jiang, isn't this second cultivation method a bit too extreme?"

Jiang Man looked at the chubby boy beside her and noticed that his dark circles had become much heavier and he looked rather listless.

What is this for?
Can cultivation lead to this state?

"You didn't cultivate incorrectly?" he asked directly.

Little Fatty shook his head.

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and asked, "What about cultivation level?"

Little Fatty thought for a moment and said, "It has indeed improved, but it's still a long way from the fourth level of Qi Refining."

“Then let’s continue. If we keep going, we’ll definitely reach the fourth level of Qi Refining before August. I can’t guarantee that if we don’t continue,” Jiang Man said.

This is what the old ox said; it has nothing to do with him.

Since the old ox said so, it must be true.

Jiang Man was curious, though, why didn't Xiao Pang lose weight despite staying up all night to cultivate?

"Because I eat more, there's a lot of meat at home," Little Fatty explained.

Jiang Man's gaze turned cold as he cheered for Little Fatty.

Cultivate diligently and strive to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining before venturing out to endure hardship.

Don't go back to inherit the family business.

Jiang Man returned home at night.

I received another envelope.

He was asked to hand over the repair money.

If the repair fee is not handed over before dawn, it is equivalent to giving up this opportunity to transmit the Dharma.

Jiang Man didn't pay any attention to this, and Chang Qiwen didn't ask any further questions.

Leave quickly.

He feared that the last remaining spiritual energy would be borrowed away again.

Jiang Man shook his head, not understanding why Chang Qiwen was running so fast.

I want to practice a bit more.

However, Li Yuan never showed up for the sparring session he was supposed to have.

unreliable.

As for mid-grade cultivation techniques?

It’s okay not to.

Spiritual resources should be used wisely.
