The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 98 Are you going to erect a monument for him?
When the question was asked, Qingdai lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the woman in the mirror.

But she could sense the silence in the air.

You can hear your own breathing.

I felt a little regretful for a moment.

Just as she was about to leave, someone on the other end suddenly asked, "Do you want to erect a monument for him?"

Upon hearing this, Qingdai lowered her head and dared not speak.

Meng Qiewei stood up, and in an instant she vanished like a phantom, then swept past Qingdai and appeared at the door.

Just as his figure fully appeared, one foot had stepped over the threshold.

A voice immediately followed: "Is that what some of them are guessing?"

"Not for now," Qingdai replied as she came out.

In the courtyard, Meng Qie looked up at the sky, a gentle breeze ruffling her hair, which swayed in front of the bright red floral pattern.

After a long silence, she finally spoke: "What good would it do me if he died?"

Qingdai lowered her brows, not daring to answer.

But the young lady is indeed pure and virtuous.
It can kill.

Meng Qiewei withdrew her gaze and asked, "Is there any more news about the evil god?"

"I have some," Qingdai said softly, then took out some books and placed them on the table.

Therefore, Meng Qiewei nodded and said, "Go and see what those people are saying lately, and see if the newly emerged prodigy is a true prodigy."

Qingdai nodded and left.

Meng Qiewei stared at the book for a long time before slowly taking out a ball of light.

With a gentle tap, an extremely confident voice rang out from within.

"Madam knows nothing about the peerless genius."

-

July 15th.

Jiang Man lamented the current prices.

The final battle is over, and many things have been settled.

He is number one in Yunqiansi, and that position is unshakeable.

But prices still haven't come down.

It now stays between 450 and 500.

Jiang Man asked Xiao Pang and the others, and the answer he got was that many people had started staying up all night to cultivate, which accelerated the digestion of the spiritual medicine.

The supply of elixirs could not be met immediately.

The families are also increasing the number of applicants to compete for better spots.

Prices should have originally fallen to around 400.

The extra fifty to one hundred is because someone took the lead in not sleeping.

You will reap the consequences.

Jiang Man was stunned when he heard the explanation.

I never imagined that leading them to stay up all night to cultivate would bring me such a huge loss.

It's truly regrettable.

Fortunately, there are more than 20,000 spiritual resources.

Four hundred and fifty pills can buy fifty pills.

enough.

However, you have to buy slowly, as the price will likely drop further.

In the end, it will be 300 per piece.

At that time, we can also return Little Fatty's Spirit Gathering Pill.

That leaves only Chang Qiwen's 20,000.

Earning spiritual energy should be easier after joining a sect, and I should be able to afford it.

The best option would actually be to continue owing Little Fatty the pills, but Little Fatty is from a wealthy family and doesn't meet the escort requirements.

This job requires someone at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining.

Chang Qiwen only barely satisfied him.

—

as time flows.

The quantity of Jiang Man's ninth "gourd" also gradually increased.

In mid-July, 30%.

By late July, with the continuous consumption of the elixirs, 60% had been achieved.

In early August, 99% of the time.

It was full the next day.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Man ate the pills again to continue accumulating them.

Unfortunately, it was no longer possible to accumulate more spiritual energy, and the pills it ingested were lost after passing through its body.

Is it really possible to achieve foundation building with such a mindset?
Jiang Man asked the old ox.

“There are methods for Foundation Building, but the Qi Refining method cannot be used for Foundation Building,” the old ox said casually.

Jiang Man was taken aback and asked, "What is the method for Foundation Establishment?"

“I do have some, do you want to cultivate?” the old ox asked.

"The devil's evil ways?" Jiang Man asked.

“You know more than before,” the old ox said, munching on grass.

Jiang Man remarked with considerable emotion, "When you go to a sect, are the items distributed for free or are they purchased?"

How much spiritual energy would it take to buy this?
Even before going there, I could already feel the atmosphere of poverty.

The old ox did not answer.

It doesn't know either.

"By the way, when will the Magpie Bridge open next?" Jiang Man thought about Meng Qiewei.

That really caught him completely off guard.

But if I had known beforehand, could I have stayed outside and waited for her power to dissipate before returning?
He asked the same question, but the old ox gave him a nonchalant glance and said, "Try to see if she goes out to look for you."

With the old ox around, the other party shouldn't be able to get out, but if she insists on going out...

Making too much noise can also be troublesome.

Jiang Man sighed with regret, realizing how foolish he had been to provoke such a person.

Now it's all over, we can't be separated anymore.

He wasn't sure whether Meng Qiewei would kill him or not.

What if she is pure and innocent, and cannot be defiled?

It's hard for me to survive.

Even if that's not the case, how can one marry into the family and let their destiny return to the family?

Ultimately, it comes down to not being strong enough.

Let fate slow him down a few miles first.

We’ll talk about the rest later.

With Lao Huang backing us up, there's still time.

The old ox then told him that the next time the Magpie Bridge would open would probably be around July or August next year.

It might be earlier.

The Magpie Bridge opened early this year; it will open later next year.

Jiang Man asked curiously, "If she knows our location, do we need to wait for the Magpie Bridge to open?"

The old ox looked at him without saying a word.

What does this mean?
This riddle is driving me crazy!

Jiang Man had no choice but to give up after receiving no answer.

The current focus is on improving both the physical and mental well-being.

There are only two weeks left.

Afterwards, Jiang Man did some more careful calculations and discovered something terrifying.

There are less than two months left until the requirement of 300 days is met.

Even if we go to the sect in September, we will only have a little over twenty days.

this.
Jiang Man felt that this fate was somewhat inhuman.

How am I supposed to pay off this debt?
He forced himself into debt because he was unsure whether some of the subsequent cultivation methods would be available for free or purchased with spiritual resources.

It is essential to store a certain amount of spiritual energy.

Otherwise, a temporary lack of spiritual energy would put us in a very passive position.

It seems Little Fatty will have to save the remaining pills for later.

Chang Qiwen can visit the sect twice a year, and I will have the opportunity to repay him through him.

After that, Jiang Man stopped thinking about these things and decided to improve his physical body to the ninth level and his spirit to the ninth level as soon as possible.

Advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage and completing all of these skills will have no downsides.

-

the other side.

In a corner of the courtyard where Yun Qiansi lived, Fang Yong was diligently cultivating.

His progress was not rapid during this period.

He was already poor, but after giving Jiang Man a sum of spiritual energy, he became even poorer.

If I had known this would happen, I should have asked them for a discount.

learn a lesson.

He is currently lacking spiritual energy.

Especially as the assessment approaches, everyone else is constantly improving, and if he falls behind, he could easily be squeezed out of the sect.

As he pondered whether to borrow the spiritual energy from Chang Qiwen, he suddenly noticed someone approaching.

Upon seeing who it was, he frowned and became wary.

The visitor was Cheng Yu.

Fang Yong did not have a good impression of this person.

After all, she was his opponent back then. Although he won, it wasn't an easy victory.

It's easy to fall into their trap.

"Why does Young Master Fang look at me like that?" Cheng Yu whispered as she approached, "It's as if I'm some heinous criminal. It's normal for Luo Xuan to look at me like that."

"Young Master Fang, is there any need for this?"

"Although I investigated you, I never told anyone. Apart from using it in actual combat, it didn't cause any trouble for Young Master Fang."

"Furthermore, I happened to help them when I met them."

"If they see me, they'll have to thank me." Fang Yong looked at the other person and asked, "What do you want with me?"

Cheng Yu smiled, raised her hand and waved the spiritual source in her hand, saying, "I've come to borrow your spiritual source. I've been observing you recently, and you're lacking spiritual sources."

“Jiang Man is also in need, why don’t you lend him some?” Fang Yong asked.

That guy is the top commander of Yunqian Division; lending him is more valuable than lending yourself.

"Because he can't help me, and besides, he has a wife. It would be awkward for me to go over there. What if I don't do him a favor and instead get his hatred?" Cheng Yuwei said with a serious face. "Young Master Fang is different. You don't have so many concerns here. Besides, Jiang Man is the number one in Yunqian Division. He doesn't lack spiritual resources."

"He wants to borrow from a bunch of people who are willing to lend to him, but he just doesn't want to owe anyone a favor."

"He is a good person."

"But Young Master Fang is a man of loyalty and righteousness."

"I'm in a bad situation, and only Young Master Fang can help me."

Fang Yong frowned, staring at the person in front of him.

I don't know what she's up to.

"Here are 15,000 spirit resources, plus 20 spirit gathering pills, all of which I've recently saved up," Cheng Yu said, looking at Fang Yong. "Young Master Fang, would you like some?"

Fang Yong pondered for a moment and then asked, "What do you want?"

He had already survived the targeting by those families, so naturally he couldn't accept excessive demands.

But with so many spiritual resources, it's practically impossible to earn them.

There are only two weeks left.

I can't even borrow one.

He is different from Jiang Man.

Jiang Man was too dazzling, so it was easy to borrow him.

He's so ordinary that it seems like he'll lose everything.

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and then asked, "Does Young Master Fang know about my background?"

Fang Yong remained silent.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu continued, "My mother was a concubine. The daughters of concubines actually have a very low status, about as high as ordinary young ladies."

She crouched down and gestured at knee level: "It's about this high. If I qualify, my status will be this high."

She stood up and measured her waist.

Finally, she stood on tiptoe and said, "If I could enter the sect, I would be a proper young lady. Unfortunately, I failed, and now I'm not even knee-high."

"So I need to find a way out, I can't see a way out with other people."

"We have no choice but to come to Young Master Fang."

“Since you come from a poor background, you shouldn’t have that many spiritual resources, but the fact is you have quite a few.” Fang Yong stared at the person in front of him and said, “It means your mother treats you well and can get resources from the clan. So you shouldn’t need my help.”

Cheng Yu nodded as she pondered: "My mother is indeed a good person, but she is a bit extreme and is not satisfied with what I have done."

"So I want to rely on my own choice to leave here and head to the vicinity of the sect."

"Perhaps we can achieve something."

"But someone like me wouldn't have been able to establish myself in the past."

"You want me to deliver it for you and help you establish yourself?" Fang Yong asked.

"Yes, does Young Master Fang have a solution?" Cheng Yu asked.

Fang Yong remained silent.

Is there such a way?

Theoretically, yes, because Wang Yan mentioned it.

But it relies on a certain amount of luck.

It would be impossible to get people there on your own.

But since he joined that genius's camp, some possibilities arose.

The other party did indeed mention the relevant matter.

But his words might not be of any use.

"I can't be sure about such things," Fang Yong said truthfully. "You should understand that it's already difficult for sects to establish themselves. Even for those who join sects, it's extremely difficult to gain a foothold, let alone help others."

"If it's possible, that's fine," Cheng Yu asked.

"Jiang Man's chances are probably higher; after all, he's number one," Fang Yong reminded him.

Cheng Yu smiled and looked at Fang Yong, saying, "I choose to believe Young Master Fang."

Fang Yong frowned, not understanding what the person in front of him was thinking.

After a pause, Cheng Yu whispered, "I'll tell you a secret, just like your secret, which I haven't even told Luo Xuan."

Fang Yong frowned slightly, wondering what trick the other party was up to this time.

Cheng Yu whispered, "My mother is quite strict with me. She thinks that if I don't feel pain, I won't remember things or even be motivated."

“I’m always scared when I go back. Actually, I hate going home the most.”

Although Fang Yong was puzzled, he still asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

"It's alright. I've never told anyone this secret before. I just wanted to talk about it because it's been hard to keep it to myself." With that, Cheng Yu put down the spiritual source in her hand and said, "I've given you the spiritual source. My future depends on Young Master Fang."

Cheng Yu then left.

Fang Yong was puzzled.

This method would be even better if it were applied to Jiang Man.

Why would you bother me for no reason?
But should I answer or not?

He can't possibly pay off so many spiritual pills on his own.

What if we ultimately fail?
-

August is the final moment for everyone.

The course ended after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The people in the backyard are leaving, the newcomers are going to the front yard, the people in the front yard are going to the middle yard, and the people in the middle yard are going to the back yard. These people will start a new round of sprinting, just like Jiang Man and the others.

Enter the rankings.

Little Fatty cultivates at Yunqiansi during the day and at home at night.

Sleepless and sleepless.

Although Gao Cunfeng told him to rest, he didn't stop.

Anyway, he felt that Brother Jiang wouldn't lie to him.

On August 5th, he felt that he had reached the threshold of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

On August 10th, during his nighttime cultivation, he broke through the threshold of the fourth level of Qi Refining and stepped into it.

Feeling the weight of the spiritual energy at the fourth level of Qi Refining, Little Fatty was overjoyed.

Gao Cunfeng also rushed over immediately.

He asked Elder Chen and the others whether this kind of cultivation would lead to progress.

The answers were not good; almost no one thought that Little Fatty could reach the fourth level of Qi Refining before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

did not expect.

It really works.

Unfortunately, he burned part of it.

Regret.

"Is it really worth going to such lengths to avoid getting married?" Gao Cunfeng sighed.

Now things need to be rearranged.

He simply didn't know what to do for the time being.

Are we to arrange it in Luoyun City?
He sighed and decided to write to his elder brother in the sect to ask for his opinion.

His original intention was to find a place to settle down and let him make his way in the world for a couple of years, and then, when he got bored, get married and have children.

It's better to stay in Luoyun City.

Not long after the envelope was sent out, a letter arrived.

It was a letter from his brother.

After checking it, he was somewhat surprised.

"No wonder the Luo family is in such a hurry to find a son-in-law, and they don't want any other candidates. They insist on the former second-place candidate of the Six Pavilions, who is now the first-place candidate of the Cloud Front Division. It turns out there has been a change in the situation."

"This news can't be kept secret for long. It's a pity for the Luo family."

He had no intention of taking advantage of the other party's misfortune; he simply wrote a letter to them casually.

Hopefully he can make preparations soon, since the Gao family already knows, and the Fang and Li families probably already know as well.

The others are about the same.

However, this message also included a small shop, which was a reward for his elder brother's meritorious service, and it was within the sect's jurisdiction.

You can send someone to run it, but it's best if it's just one person.

If the Gao family doesn't send anyone, they'll make their own arrangements.

Gao Cunfeng looked at the envelope and sighed heavily: "It's all fate."

His most beloved youngest son could not be kept.

-

August fifteen.

The day of the sect's assessment.

All those qualified to participate in the assessment gathered in the central square.

Unified assessment.

The person in charge of this assessment came from a sect.

A woman named Yu Wanyi was sitting on a high platform, looking at the documents in her hands.

The previous scores and comments for each person who participated in the assessment are all here.

The type of magic one acquires through cultivation is also included.

The first page features Jiang Man.

Yu Wanyi was quite surprised.

When she arrived, Senior Sister Xia had spoken to him; she could focus on observing a person named Jiang Man.

Senior Sister Xia came to test the technique, and she remembered this person at the time.

According to the other party, this person should be in the middle range.

But it's already on the first page.

I don't know how strong they are overall.

What we need to see now is their ability after they have established their foundation.

The difference in Qi cultivation is minimal; being a step earlier or later doesn't make a difference.

Unless you master the Qi Refining Method, Qi and Blood Method, and Visualization Method within a year.

Otherwise, it would be the same for all sects.

However, being ranked first in Yunqiansi is still quite an achievement.
