Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

The most important thing about the Dharma Body Path is the cultivation technique, the Eternal Immortality Scripture. This technique doesn't contain much content, and it doesn't require much effort. For Jiang Ming now, it's not a difficult task.

As for the materials needed, Jiang Ming had them memorized, and there was no problem with the price.

Cultivating a Dharma Body only requires around two thousand spirit stones, but the spirit stones left behind by the Primordial Sage Dao Lord amount to at least five thousand, which seems like a considerable fortune.

However, if you really calculate it, the cost is not small.

This is mainly because Jiang Ming's cultivation speed is fast now, largely due to his cultivation experience.

However, even with extensive experience, some expenses are unavoidable.

For example, if one lacks talent, the extra spirit stones required are a huge expense, making it worthwhile for Jiang Ming to put in considerable effort.

Otherwise, around five thousand spirit stones would definitely not be enough. Besides, there is another problem: the Primordial Saint gave him three months, but is three months really enough?

Back then, it took him far more than three months to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Although this was partly due to the lack of spirit stones available at the time, the connection wasn't too significant.

Most importantly, one should not rush the process of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

If it's three months, then you'll need to make some plans yourself.

In terms of cultivation, Jiang Ming must raise his strength to the peak of the Qi Consumption Realm within a month. He must spare no effort to improve his cultivation level, otherwise, time will not be enough for him.

In the second month, the focus should be on body training. The realm corresponding to the Eternal Life Scripture and the materials that need to be obtained must be prepared. Then, seize the time and break through in one fell swoop.

The focus in the third month is on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Foundation Building Pills, as well as all sorts of treasures, must be prepared.

Although it is somewhat difficult, there is also some good news. For example, there is no limit to the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators here, and the competition is not so fierce.

The difficulty of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage can be reduced by several times.

Overall, three months is indeed very challenging, but it is achievable in general.

So much thought, but only for a moment.

Coming to his senses, Jiang Ming silently put away the spirit stones, his gaze now more serious. "I understand, Senior. Rest assured, I will do my best to fulfill your request within three months..."

"That's good. Do your best. If you don't succeed, don't worry too much. I'm not one to criticize others. Compared to most of the elders in the sect, I'm quite patient."

However, if you fail, it means you can't keep up with my pace and are not suitable to be my disciple. In that case, you can only become a disciple of another elder..."

Having said all he had to say, the Primordial Saint True Lord's eyes flickered a few times, and he calmly led Jiang Ming to the back mountain.

The so-called back mountain looks no different from other places in the Wanfa Sect, except that the spiritual energy here is extremely rich!

The concentration here is several times higher than outside. Anyone who isn't a pig has a very high chance of succeeding by cultivating here.

"This area is where the elders and their disciples live. Each house has an owner, so you need to build a new house for living and cultivation."

You'll have to handle this yourself...

Jiang Ming frowned, unconvinced.

Whether he has a house or not is not the most important thing. He has suffered before, and even without a cave dwelling, he can still devote himself to cultivation.

This can be omitted...

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ming looked towards the Wanfa Sect, rested his chin on his hand, and asked thoughtfully, "Master, do you think the resources and magical treasures sold by our Wanfa Sect are more expensive than those outside?"

"Are you worried about whether you have enough spirit stones? There's no need to worry too much about that. If you need more spirit stones, I can give you some more. Spirit stones are just external things for cultivators."

Since I am your master, you can certainly use some of my spirit stones. I will also give you five thousand spirit stones, for a total of ten thousand spirit stones. This should be enough to help you recover from the Foundation Establishment stage.

By the way, to answer your question earlier, the resources of our Wanfa Sect are of high quality, low price, and complete variety. You won't find any other merchant guild that can compare to the sect's.

Don't worry, they're all cultivators from the Myriad Laws Sect, no one will cheat you.

The reason why so many people want to join the Myriad Laws Sect is precisely because, although the early stages are tough, as long as you can get through them, everything will eventually take a turn for the better...

"Work hard. After you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you'll be a key member of the sect. At that time, some of the Wanfa Sect's precious resources will be available to you..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded solemnly.

It seems that during this period, the Wanfa Sect was still relatively humane.

There doesn't seem to be much infighting and scheming among fellow disciples.

Why did the atmosphere of the Wanfa Sect change completely later? Could this be related to the Primordial Sage True Lord?

Silently complaining to himself... Jiang Ming cupped his hands in greeting, immediately bid farewell to the Primordial Saint True Lord, and went to purchase resources.

He does have some alchemy skills, so he doesn't need to buy finished pills; he only needs to purchase raw materials, which saves some resources.

Upon arriving at the Merit Hall, Jiang Mingping glanced at the disciples doing odd jobs there, calmly listed the spiritual medicines and resources he needed, and then looked around, trying to search for some useful treasures.

"Fellow Daoist, I have prepared everything you requested. Please check it out. If there are no problems, just give me three thousand spirit stones..."

The disciple responsible for receiving Jiang Ming spoke respectfully, a hint of envy in his eyes. Being able to easily produce three thousand spirit stones was a generous offer, something not everyone in the Myriad Laws Sect could obtain.

For a handyman disciple like him, it might take decades to accumulate this much savings.

"Okay, give me the item. What's it for? Could you explain it to me?"

Following the direction Jiang Ming pointed, the handyman disciple smiled bitterly, shook his head, and offered a word of advice.

"This item has already been reserved. Fellow Daoist, you should look at something else. Otherwise, even if you buy it, it will only cause you trouble."

……

Jiang Ming looked up in surprise, a little curious. He wanted to know who had gotten there first.

Of course, what he wanted to know most was what this thing was actually used for.

"Please speak frankly about the purpose of this item, fellow Daoist. If the other party hasn't paid a deposit, I should still be able to participate in the bidding..."

"This thing is called the Qi Nourishing Jade. It is a treasure that can improve one's cultivation level. However, unfortunately, it has already been reserved by an inner disciple."

He was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and was highly regarded within the sect…

"What would someone at the Foundation Establishment stage need such a thing for?" Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course it's for his Daoist partner. His Daoist partner is a very famous female cultivator in the Wanfa Sect. She is beautiful and intelligent, and has both temperament and elegance."

He was considered a very famous disciple of the outer sect.

That's why I advised you not to get involved. If you embarrass him, you might face retaliation in the future..."

Jiang Ming frowned but did not reply.

A moment later, footsteps sounded behind them, followed by a cold laugh. "Heh, I'm not that petty. Treasures belong to the capable. I did reserve it first, but if this fellow Daoist can offer a higher price, the item will naturally be his..."

Looking back, he saw a young man in brocade robes with his arm around the slender waist of a female cultivator beside him. His eyes were full of arrogance and domineering attitude, and it seemed that he did not take Jiang Ming seriously at all.

The reason for suggesting that the most capable person should take the position seemed to be to make Jiang Ming lose even more face after the comparison...

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think of my suggestion? Why are you silent?"

"Are you short of money and scared?"

With a hearty laugh, the young man in brocade robes, Su Ming, sized up the silent Jiang Ming. His smile grew even brighter, and he looked like a victorious general returning home, smugly stroking the waist of the beauty beside him.

He looked at Jiang Ming with a playful expression. "If you don't dare to compete, then step back obediently and don't waste my time. This way, it will save time for both of us."

Kid, remember this: in the Wanfa Sect, you must keep your head down and behave yourself!

"You have to know there are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding..."

Jiang Ming remained silent, not wanting to get involved in this kind of emotional argument.

He had never been interested in such competitive behavior.

Besides, he was extremely short of time right now; it would be better for him to go back and cultivate for a while rather than engage in a war of words with the other party…

"Heh, he's so arrogant. Ming-ge, let's go... don't argue with him."

"Hmph, kid, I'll say it again: keep your head down and be a decent human being."

……

In the silence, another cultivator entered through the door.

With a dignified demeanor and a thick beard that exuded an air of otherworldly elegance, the newcomer was none other than the Grand Elder of the Myriad Laws Sect.

Upon seeing this, the disciples quickly cupped their hands in greeting.

The elder nodded, and when he saw Jiang Ming arrive, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Oh, didn't Yuan Chu give you enough resources?"

You are his disciple, how can he be so stingy?

If you need anything, just ask.

I watched Yuan Chu grow up, so logically I should be considered his master. You are his disciple, so I am your grandmaster.

As an elder, I am still very willing to mentor the younger generation…

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming was almost petrified.

His mind was in turmoil. After summarizing the conversation, he finally understood the information revealed in the elder's words.

"This is a disciple of a Golden Core True Monarch? Holy crap, how is that possible? He's only at the late Qi Refining stage, how can he have such an opportunity?!"

Filled with regret, Su Ming was starting to panic.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was acutely aware of the terror of a Golden Core True Monarch.

Offending a disciple of a Golden Core True Monarch is not much different from offending a Golden Core cultivator. If the other party holds a grudge, they can embellish their story about the day to the True Monarch afterward, or even just casually mention it to the Grand Elder.

What awaits them is utter destruction...

He was impatient, but in this situation, he had no right to speak. The elder didn't speak, so he didn't dare to leave, let alone interrupt.

Right now, he can only hope that Jiang Ming is magnanimous; otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to save his life today.

"Thank you, sir. I've already purchased enough resources, so I won't trouble you any further."

My master assigned me a cultivation task, which I found difficult to complete, so I'll take my leave now..."

Jiang Ming cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and made a move to leave.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder was slightly surprised. It was truly rare for someone of this cultivation level to remain neither humble nor arrogant.

Given time, he will surely become a promising talent.

He silently praised Jiang Ming in his heart.

The elder nodded, his expression softening.

"Since that's the case, you may leave. I came here to see Elder Lin. Why, is he not here?"

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, Elder Lin just went out to purchase resources today..."

Nodding, the Grand Elder waved his hand and left. "Very well, when he returns, have him come see me. I have something I want to tell him..."

Remember, tell him to see me as soon as he gets back…

After watching the Grand Elder leave, everyone cautiously sized up Jiang Ming.

Su Ming, who was extremely arrogant just moments before, has lost his composure.

Looking at Jiang Ming, her eyes were filled with fear. After pushing aside the female cultivator beside her, she knelt on the ground in a panic, pleading, "Fellow Daoist, I was wrong. I was ignorant and arrogant just now. I don't want this anymore. I'll give it to you."

I just hope you can be magnanimous and not hold this against me...

Inner disciple Su Ming is begging you here…

Silently accepting the Qi-Nourishing Jade, Jiang Ming smiled calmly, waved his hand, and said with a playful expression, "Alright, if you wanted to bully others, you would have died long ago."

Do you remember what you told me?

Remember this well: from now on, keep your head down and behave yourself. Don't be arrogant and ignorant. You fought your way out of the crowd to become an inner disciple. Don't let a moment of carelessness bring about your own death..."

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Su Ming cupped his hands in thanks, tears streaming down his face, and thanked Jiang Ming profusely. At the same time, he gave the female cultivator a wink, and she immediately and cautiously approached.

Yan Xing looked at Jiang Ming with seductive eyes and tried to grab his arm.

Oh, there's also the honey trap?

Pity.

The beauty isn't beautiful enough. A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like him has such poor taste. He treats such a beauty like a treasure, taking whatever he wants from her. He really has no vision.

After a silent sneer, Jiang Ming waved his hand, shoved the female cultivator aside, and strode back to the back mountain to prepare for his cultivation.

In the first month, he must break through to the point of perfect Qi absorption.

Right now, he needs to refine the spiritual herbs into pills, and in addition, he also needs to try refining the Qi-Nourishing Jade...
