The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 97 I Killed My Husband
Jiang Man is now the number one in Yunqian Division.

Many people don't know him, but they all want to get to know him.

So on Jiang Man's way to the Sixth Courtyard, he noticed groups of three or five people around him talking about something.

Upon seeing Jiang Man, they immediately turned their gaze over.

But he quickly looked away, not daring to look directly at her.

That's how Jiang Man felt along the way.

He couldn't help but sigh, these people were wasting so much time, spending so much time chatting idly.

Wouldn't it be better to use it for cultivation?
As we approached the sixth courtyard, we finally found ourselves alone.

But Fang Yong blocked his way.

"Young Master Fang is looking for me?" Jiang Man asked.

Fang Yong gave Jiang Man some spiritual energy, then bowed slightly and said, "I have offended you in the past."

Jiang Man was taken aback and glanced at Lingyuan.

one thousand?
This person can get rich?
It's a bit upsetting; logically, the other party should be the poorest.

But upon closer reflection, I realized I owed him over three thousand, which made me feel even worse.

At this moment, Fang Yong continued, "You don't need to return the pills from before."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man was taken aback, then said in a serious tone, "Young Master Fang, what are you saying? It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. I've long forgotten what happened before."

The nearly five thousand spirit resources were far more generous than Li Yuan's.

Li Yuan is too stingy.

I've never seen such a stingy young master.

Fang Yong can fight with the aura of a prodigy, and he can also apologize with the extravagance of a young master.

Fang Yong then left.

They were destitute, as if they had lost everything.

But then again, what exactly did Fang Yong do?
After achieving his first victory, Jiang Man didn't dwell on the past. The road ahead was too long, and he rarely looked back to recount his past.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, Little Fatty immediately ran over: "Brother Jiang, two pieces of bad news."

Jiang Man was taken aback. Bad news?
Are you going to inherit the family business and take wives and concubines?
Before Jiang Man could think further, the chubby boy immediately said, "I heard from my father and the others that those people already know why Brother Jiang has such abundant spiritual energy."

Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief; so that's all there was to it.

However, he was also very curious about what conclusions they had reached.

"They investigated Brother Jiang's past and came to a conclusion," Little Fatty said seriously. "Brother Jiang did nothing for the past two years and was always ranked last, which was premeditated."

"Because the primary condition for having abundant spiritual energy is to cultivate the Qi Refining Technique to its highest level."

"By cultivating in this way, one's cultivation level will improve by leaps and bounds, and not only that, the spiritual energy at the same realm will also become more abundant and pure."

"It is entirely possible to fight three opponents at the same level without exhausting one's strength."

"So they say that Brother Jiang hid his talents for two years in order to make a name for himself, just to wait until he reached the highest level of Qi Refining Technique."

Jiang Man wasn't surprised.

This kind of thing is easy to discover; the only pity is that no one asks him about it.

Otherwise, one can also earn a certain amount of spiritual energy.

He already knew about the abundant spiritual energy when he fought Chang Qiwen. How could the absorption capacity of the ninth level of Qi Refining be compared to that of the first level?

Furthermore, people are different.

They can repeat their path, but they cannot repeat their achievements.

As for the first two years of hard work and perseverance, they waited for the third year to make a name for themselves.

That is absolutely fabricated.

I was really stupid back then.

Immediately, Jiang Man asked about the second piece of bad news.

Upon hearing this, Little Fatty looked sad and said, "A while ago, my room caught fire and burned half of the books that Brother Jiang gave me. Fortunately, most of the contents are still there, and I've memorized the missing parts."

"Otherwise, I would suspect that my father set the fire to prevent me from advancing to the fourth level of Qi Refining."

Jiang Man thought it was something serious.

He then gave the third book to the other party as well.

Little Fatty looked delighted.

They inquired whether continuing their cultivation would allow them to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining by August.

Jiang Man gave an affirmative answer.

According to the old ox, Little Fatty will be able to advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining in another month or so.

If he hadn't been so decadent in the past two years, and with so many resources to help him, reaching the sixth or even seventh level of Qi Refining wouldn't have been a problem.

Of course, if you are willing to spend three times the resources to change the Spirit Gathering Pill to Spirit Gathering Hall cultivation, and then double the amount.

Even a chubby kid can become a cultivator at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, there is a prerequisite: that there must be a cultivation plan personally devised by the old ox.

If the cultivation plan is not good enough, the resources consumed will naturally be much more.

As more and more people gathered, Jiang Man noticed that many of them were looking at him, intentionally or unintentionally.

But she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

The brilliance of being number one is blinding.

In particular, those standing here are not only the top in the small courtyard, but also the top in Qingyun, the top in the Six Pavilions, and the top in Yunqian Division.

He is the number one among his peers.

Soon it was time for the lesson.

Mr. Fu looked at everyone and said, "Actually, I was also a little surprised. I never thought that such a prodigy could emerge from the Sixth Courtyard."

“You should feel fortunate that people who couldn’t find work before can try again.”

“As long as you’re not too bad off, you all have a chance to stay in the city.”

Being a top student in the same academy as Yunqian Si can sometimes be of some use.

Therefore, under the same conditions, it can stand out.

Mr. Fu then said a lot more.

I left when it was almost time.

After the other party left, some people came up to Jiang Man and gave him three hundred spirit resources: "Thank you for your patronage."

Jiang Yi had no idea that she had taken care of him.
But she still accepted the gifts: "It's my pleasure."

After that, people continued to bring spiritual energy.

We are all grateful for your kindness.

Some are two hundred, some are one hundred.

But Jiang Man didn't think it was too little.

They accepted them all.

Although I don't know what kind of care I received, I feel that as long as they took care of me, that's enough.

We cannot let their good intentions go to waste.

In the end, Jiang Man received 2,500 spirit resources.

With what Fang Yong gave me and what I earned, I had five thousand.

With the ranking improved, earning spiritual energy is indeed easier than before.

Then it was time for cultivation.

From this moment on, the entire Yunqian Division was focused on the sixth courtyard of Qingyun Pavilion.

If they don't end it, no one can end it.

The reason for his defeat was widely rumored: Jiang Man kept cultivating, even staying up all night to cultivate.

After finishing his cultivation in the evening, Jiang Man sought out Zhao Leming.

I'd like to inquire if there's a reward.

Unfortunately, Yunqiansi didn't offer any further rewards, since the Heavenly Heart Seal and the like were the rewards.

But there is also good news.

That is, Qingyun Pavilion gave five thousand spirit resources.

Five thousand is a lot; it would take an ordinary person four months to earn five thousand.

Jiang Man was extremely satisfied with this.

However, he also expressed his gratitude.

This will put Mr. Zhao and the others at ease.

In addition, Jiang Man also learned something else: as the number one of the Yunqian Division.

No one will directly attack him.

Yun Qian Si will take full responsibility for his safety.

This was true even in Luoyun City.

Hearing this, Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I asked about the Heavenly Heart Seal.

Unfortunately, this is the first time the Heavenly Heart Seal has been distributed; previously, the requirements for cultivating it were extremely high.

There are indeed people in Yunqiansi who know how.

But they won't come out to teach.

However, they are already able to study, and if they gain any insights during this time, they can inform him.

Jiang Man thanked him and then left.

He's already got the basics down, but he's unsure if he's on the right track.

It's something you need to refer to.

However, if Mr. Fu and his colleagues learn too slowly, it will indeed be of no use to him.

With the old ox around, he's far ahead of Mr. Zhao and the others.

Back at the stable, Jiang Man continued his cultivation.

day to day.

We dare not slack off.

Two days later, Cheng Moyang and Yang Ling arrived. They each brought seven thousand spirit resources and offered their apologies.

I may have offended you by saying that I was young and impetuous back then.

Jiang Man couldn't help but sigh, these people really are the young masters.

Li Yuan is too stingy.

July 5th.

Jiang Man welcomed new guests.

It was the middle-aged man who frequently visited Li Yuan.

The other person came over and was immediately kicked to his knees by Li Yuan.

The other party also begged for forgiveness.

This time they left behind 20,000 spirit resources.

Old Jin even left an extra IOU for 10,000 yuan.

Just five days.

Jiang Man's spiritual energy increased from 1,500 to 44,000.

Jiang Man did a quick calculation and also checked the prices.

Finally come to a conclusion.

That's not enough to pay back.

Not to mention further cultivation.

"Too few people have offended me before," Jiang Man shook his head and sighed.

I should have let those people mock me more.

The one they targeted most ruthlessly was Lao Jin.

The other person still didn't introduce themselves, which was impolite.

I saw the name on the IOU.

Stopping thinking about these things, Jiang Man began to hesitate: should he pay off his debts first or improve his cultivation level first?

For a moment, Jiang Man felt that he was being tested.

Finally, he bought the Spirit Gathering Pill, returned it to Steward Miao, and also returned 1,400 to Song Qing.

That's two thousand.

The rest are Little Fatty and Chang Qiwen.

First, return the spiritual energy that Chang Qiwen borrowed from Cheng Yu.

Another seven thousand were paid out.

More than nine thousand were gone.

Little Fatty is returning the price of twenty Spirit Gathering Pills. That's 12,000 yuan gone. He'll return the rest when the price drops to 300.

After all, it was borrowed when it was 300, so it's too much of a loss now.

The expenditure was 21,000, leaving less than 23,000.

Chang Qiwen is still short 21,000 yuan.

If I return everything, I will no longer be able to cultivate.

Then you can only pay back part of it first, but it's almost impossible to earn 21,000 in the next two months.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Man went to see Mr. Zhao.

I'm looking for a job.

"Any job that involves going to the sect?" Zhao Leming looked at Jiang Man and said, "There are such jobs, but they are not safe."

"Is there anything safe?" Jiang Man asked.

Zhao Leming looked at Jiang Man and asked, "Besides safety, are there any other requirements?"

Less work, more spiritual energy, freedom—Jiang Man thought to himself, but didn't dare to say a word.

I remembered the first time I asked the other person for work.

“Making too many demands is like making a wish, and dangerous jobs are always in high demand,” Zhao Leming said.

Jiang Man was helpless.

I secured a spot.

Mr. Zhao said that the spot was extremely rare, and he had gone through a lot of hardship to get it.

Jiang Man: "."

I checked, and it costs 1,800 spirit resources per month.

It is higher than the average of 1,500.

Jiang Man then found Chang Qiwen.

He first returned the seven thousand to Cheng Yu, and then gave her another three thousand.

So he had 20,000 left, but still owed the other party 18,000.

Chang Qiwen, who received the spiritual source, was stunned: "It's gone?"

Jiang Man didn't care, and said, "I am now number one in Yunqian Division, which proves that I am a peerless genius, one in ten thousand."

"Have you ever thought about continuing to support me and lending me the spiritual source?"
"You have 18,000 left. I'll pay you back 20,000 by this time next year."

Chang Qiwen looked at Jiang Man and asked, "Are you coming back next year?"

“No.” Jiang Man shook his head.

Why would he come back?
“Then I can’t get the spiritual source either, so I can’t borrow it.” Chang Qiwen shook his head.

“I can get it.” Jiang Man took out the recommendation letter. “This is a job of escorting resources. There are two opportunities a year to go to the sect. At that time, I can return the spiritual source to you.”

"how?
"Would you like to consider it?"

After receiving the letter of recommendation, Chang Qiwen opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He looked at Jiang Man in surprise and said, "Just for me?"

Jiang Man nodded.

"How much spiritual energy?" Chang Qiwen asked.

How much spiritual energy? Isn't this just giving it as interest?
However, since the other party has made an offer, I have to make one too. The job is worth 1,800 a month, so it's not a big deal for me to take two months' worth, right?

Immediately, Jiang Man said seriously, "Three thousand six."

Chang Qiwen hesitated for a moment, then gave 3,600.

Jiang Man held the spiritual source, feeling both moved and pleasantly surprised.

So, they returned 3,500 to the other party, but ended up getting 3,600 back.

Of the 10,000 spirit resources given, 6,500 belonged to Cheng Yu, something Jiang Man already knew.

"I'll take it. Remember to pay me back 20,000 next July," Chang Qiwen said earnestly.

Jiang Man hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is there any more?"

“No, they’ve all been sent back,” Chang Qiwen said immediately.

Jiang Man didn't ask for more, but looked at the other party and smiled, saying, "Remember, I am an unparalleled genius."

Chang Qiwen was puzzled as to why the topic was suddenly brought up again.

“I’m a once-in-a-century talent, it’s your luck to have met me.” Jiang Man looked at the other person seriously and said, “You won this time, but don’t gamble next time. There might not be another one like me in a hundred years.”

Chang Qiwen understood what Jiang Man wanted to say.

The reason I was able to gain something this time is because Jiang Man is an unparalleled genius and has decent character.

otherwise
All the money was lost.

Jiang Man then told him that this escort job was somewhat dangerous and that he needed to think it over carefully.

Chang Qiwen then watched the other person leave.

With no one around, he glanced at the letter of recommendation, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly went to the guard post to report for duty.

Successfully started the job.

We're just waiting for the course to finish.

He was quite emotional.

This spot isn't actually that expensive on the market, but ordinary people can't buy one.

-

The quaint courtyard allows a glimpse of the dressing table inside through the latticed windows.

A woman in a blue fairy dress is gazing absently into the mirror in front of her.

Only when the sunlight shone in did the other person slowly come to their senses.

Looking at herself in the mirror, her cool gaze carried a hint of chill.

The moment she came to her senses, a chill inexplicably settled over the room.

She closed her eyes slightly, and only then did the chill around her slowly disappear, but the pattern between her brows became even more vividly red.

It seems that as time goes by, the patterns will gradually become more complex, as if they are blooming.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door outside.

Then the door was slowly opened.

A maid entered and bowed respectfully: "Miss."

Meng raised her eyebrows slightly and calmly asked, "What are they spreading now?"

"The reason why Miss dares not tell us where she is is probably because she has already been buried in a foreign land," said the maid Qingdai.

After a pause, the maid continued, "In addition, a prodigy has emerged among the younger generation, saying that he wants to rise from humble beginnings and also wants to reclaim his destiny."

"It is said that he can attract destiny back with his own brilliant radiance."

"There's no need to wait until the next generation."

Meng lowered her eyes slightly and did not speak.

The maid hesitated for a long time, unsure whether she should ask certain questions.

"Ask away." Meng Qiewei's gaze fell on Qingdai.

The other person lowered their head and whispered, "Miss, did you kill the young master?"
