The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 13 is about my journey to realize my own value.
Jiang Man was stopped by Manager Miao as he walked over.

Only then did he realize that there were dozens of people standing there.

They were arranged in order, some old and some young, but without exception, their mental state was generally poor.

They all exuded an aura of weakness.

This is the damage caused by the spiritual energy being absorbed by the formation.

It might not matter in the short term, but in the long run, it could become irreversible.

At this moment, they all looked over in the direction of Manager Miao's gaze.

They might not listen to words of encouragement, but their curiosity remains; they want to see who would score zero.

Most people were slightly disappointed when they saw Jiang Man.

He looks perfectly normal, and he's not missing any limbs, so why would he get zero points?

Laziness has become an ailment?

But what is laziness doing here?
Is that what it means for a prodigal son to return home?
Unfortunately, it was too late, and we were already in the backyard; there was no way to turn back.

Manager Miao looked at Jiang Man and said, "Jiang Man, come over here and tell everyone about your inner journey. Are you filled with resentment about your future and want to realize your value in the Gathering Spirit Hall?"

Jiang Man: "."

Soon, Steward Miao said with a smile, "If that's the case, our Gathering Spirit Hall cherishes talent, so we'll double the spiritual energy today."

“Yes.” Jiang Man nodded firmly: “I came to the Spirit Gathering Hall to realize my own value.”

Upon hearing this, Manager Miao beamed with joy and then continued to encourage everyone: "Each of you is better than Jiang Man, and your value far surpasses his."

Does his success mean you are destined to fail?

There are so many successful people. If Jiang Man is one more, why can't there be one more like you?
On the road to future success, you should be at the forefront.

"As long as Lingyuan earns enough, you'll eventually achieve great success."

Encouraged by Manager Miao

Indeed, some people are full of enthusiasm.

But Jiang Man still couldn't understand why, according to the other party, he seemed to have already succeeded.

Don't they look at themselves first?
He is still the lowest of monks.

Could it be that they also received the spiritual source?

Jiang Man then successfully received the sixty spirit resources.

Three jade-like coins.

The number 20 is engraved on it.

Behind them is a mountain gate, said to be the gate of the Immortal Sect.

This was Jiang Man's first time seeing Lingyuan, and he was unsure if it was like this.

Seeing that no one else had any objections, Jiang Man silently put away the spiritual energy and walked back.

Sixty spiritual sources.

For someone with zero points, this should be a decent income.

I wonder how much spiritual energy is needed for a single Spirit Gathering Pill.

I'll ask Little Fatty tomorrow.

Jiang Man pushed open the door of the thatched hut next to the stable, bathed in starlight.

The old ox, which had been closing its eyes, suddenly opened them and looked at Jiang Man.

"How are you today, senior?" Jiang Man greeted him with a smile.

"Thanks to your wife, you're still alive." The old ox said indifferently, "You're doing quite well, but I wonder if you'll still be in this mood after a hundred days."

Jiang Man pointed to the sky and said, "The starlight will not fail those who are on their way, let alone my talent."

The old ox rolled its eyes.

How could I not know about your talent?
After cleaning the stables, Jiang Man continued his cultivation.

He continues to "pour water" into the "gourd".

Under the moonlight, Jiang Man continuously circulated his Qi Refining Technique, absorbing spiritual energy.

The gourd suddenly vibrated.

Then, with a crack, something was smashed open.

Immediately, a second gourd appeared.

Some of the overflowing spiritual energy flowed into the second "gourd".

At this moment, Jiang Man slowly opened his eyes.

I feel a heavy weight in my lower abdomen.

The second level of Qi Refining is indeed different from the first level.

Not only that, he also used more force in his hands and feet.

One punch can take the equivalent of four or five people's worth of damage. And this is the crudest way to use it.

Currently, he doesn't know any magic techniques; he has only improved his cultivation level.

My mental state has also improved.

Ordinary people seem rather ordinary in front of him.

For a moment, he felt somewhat grateful to his fellow students in the courtyard.

I have never made things difficult for myself, an ordinary person.

Otherwise, given their cultivation level, which is at least the first level of Qi Refining.

If he were to actually attack himself, it would be like playing a game.

The old ox looked at Jiang Man, squinting his eyes.

I can't understand why this person's improvement speed is so fast.

In an instant, Qi is drawn into the body. The Qi Refining Method reaches level nine in three days, level one in one day, and level two in two days.

Although the Flawless Spirit Gathering Pill has an effect, the treatment time is indeed shorter.

Of course, it had never encountered a situation where the entry level was the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The situation cannot be determined.

The next day.

Jiang Man continued cleaning the old courtyard.

He cleaned each training ground one by one.

We discovered that different places have different consumption patterns.

And the timeframes are not far off.

It seems someone has been cultivating here for a long time.

At noon, he returned to the Sixth Courtyard again and asked Little Fatty what he had talked about that day.

"It's about the Three Powers of Techniques," the chubby boy said.

I haven't learned it yet.

Jiang Man then inquired about Ling Yuan.

"Spiritual source?" The chubby boy pondered for a moment and said, "An ordinary Spirit Gathering Pill costs three hundred spiritual sources."

"How much spiritual energy should a normal cultivator earn in a month?" Jiang Man asked.

Little Fatty seemed to already know the answer, and casually said, "1,500, but that's within the Cloud Front Division. Outside of the Cloud Front Division, it's generally 800 or 900 a month, and even lower in some villages. I heard that you can only earn 300 spirit resources a month even if you work yourself to death."

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Thirty-one days is actually a pretty good income?

The continuous forced draining of spiritual energy by the formation can cause some harm to the body.

Perhaps one day the rate at which one absorbs spiritual energy will decrease significantly.

This is tantamount to jeopardizing the future.

Jiang Man stopped thinking about it.

First, cultivate yourself.

Ten days later.

Early September.

Jiang Man took a deep breath; the second "gourd" was full.

There are still two weeks until the next ranking update.

Fang Yong did not contact him during those ten days.

However, whenever someone asks him about Cheng Shao and Yang Shao, he glares at himself afterwards.

If it weren't for the critical moment, Jiang Man would have been afraid the other party would make a move.

The gap in cultivation is too big.

If we really fight, I'll definitely be at a disadvantage.

Luo Xuan did try to contact him once.

He said they could cultivate together and encourage each other.

The main reason is that he is focused on cultivation, making him a good cultivation partner.

Although his cultivation level was weak, Luo Xuan said she could barely accept it.

Jiang Man refused.

How can she have the nerve to ask me to supervise her if she doesn't even give herself spiritual energy?

It affects your ability to earn spiritual resources.
