The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 9 is worth mentioning, but not worthy of being recorded.
Jiang Man had asked Xiao Pang about cleaning the old courtyard.

true.

Each courtyard needs to be cleaned by someone.

The first and second place winners of the sixth courtyard can be assigned to clean according to their ranking.

This time, Fang Yong assigned the last-place person in the cleaning of the old courtyard for the past two months.

There is no problem with this designation.

In the past, it was a rotating system, but now, in order to motivate everyone, it's reasonable to have the person who is last in the ranking do the work.

Or rather, it should have been this way.

Of course, you can choose not to do it.

During the competition for slots, violations are likely to result in penalties.

The most obvious consequence is losing the right to compete for a spot.

Jiang Man could understand which was more important.

Although Fang Yong was targeting them, this targeting was much better than direct violence.

Just bear with it for now.

There's no need to escalate the conflict further. I've only just begun my cultivation, and I'm certainly no match for them.

With that thought in mind, he went to clean the old courtyard.

It's a pity that I'll miss the class if I go.

Fortunately, it only takes three days to clean.

.

The old courtyard used to be a three-story building with six pavilions, but it was abandoned due to some incidents.

However, it is cleaned regularly.

No one knows the reason, but there are some rumors.

It is said that a certain gentleman is hiding there, and whoever is chosen will be chosen to clean.

Then you can get guidance from that gentleman.

Because of this rumor, many people took the initiative to come and clean, and even more people were willing to clean.

I just hope I can be the special one.

Jiang Man swept the area with a broom.

The layout here is similar to that of Qingyun Pavilion.

He was also in charge of the old Qingyun Pavilion's backyard.

The quaint courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and fallen leaves swayed in the wind.

Jiang Man sighed and continued cleaning.

However, I will touch some stone tablets and ancient paintings when I come across them.

Then communicate with the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books.

Then I started to get some book records.

Without exception, they were all on the last page.

Not worth mentioning.

[filthy things]

Trash doesn't deserve it.

When Jiang Man arrived at the main hall of the inner courtyard, he immediately saw the plaque hanging high on the beam.

The words "Qingyun" were written on it.

Even Jiang Man, who knew nothing about calligraphy, sensed its extraordinary nature.

Without further hesitation, he moved his things, climbed up, and tried to touch it.

Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books began to be turned.

Jiang Man was somewhat excited.

Surely this thing can't be so insignificant as to be worthless?

Disappointingly, the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books still ends on the last page.

Fortunately, words are no longer insignificant.

Then a series of text appeared.

[This calligraphy, born from immense conviction, embodies the writer's beautiful aspirations: that someone from a poor land could forge a path to success, paving the way for future generations. The calligraphy, displayed on a plaque, records his sect-recognized cultivation technique, the Azure Cloud Technique. Only the impoverished can perceive the calligraphy's extraordinary nature. The vision is remarkable, worthy of mention, but unworthy of being recorded.]

Is it just worth mentioning?
Jiang Man discovered that this noteworthy threshold was indeed quite high.

However, the plaque says "Qingyun Technique".

It was a pleasant surprise.

Jiang Man then began to examine it carefully and, sure enough, found a hidden compartment in the corner of the plaque.

With excitement, he slowly opened the hidden compartment.

Then he froze in place.

It's empty. The so-called Azure Cloud Technique has long since vanished.

With a sigh, Jiang Man felt that he had wasted his emotions.

But upon closer reflection, it seems quite reasonable.

This plaque has been there for a very long time, and all sorts of people have come from it, but there are certainly no shortage of poor people among them.

Therefore, some people had already noticed the extraordinary nature of this place and even came up to investigate.

Especially since the hidden compartment isn't very well concealed, it would be abnormal if it weren't found.

Easy opportunities will not come to you, and rare opportunities will also elude you.

It's probably difficult to break through the existing environment by chance.

Only talent can help one see the light through the clouds.

After that, Jiang Man could only focus on cleaning, occasionally touching some things again.

But after touching it seven times, it started to hurt when I touched it again.

It seems that one cannot casually communicate with the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books.

Talent is limited.

This is just a few words. If there were more words, wouldn't it be easy to get a headache in advance?

Jiang Man finished cleaning at noon.

Upon returning to the hospital, they immediately sought out Little Fatty.

Ask what was taught this morning.

"I'll teach you the palm technique, the Six Harmonies Palm. But it doesn't matter whether you come or not. At most, I'll let you listen, but I won't actually give you the technique. You can't even learn it by stealing it." After a pause, the chubby boy said seriously, "But those who are strong enough will definitely have to learn it. Whether it's competing for qualifications or competing to be selected for a sect, in the end, they can't escape fighting."

Therefore, these things should be taken seriously.

These are Mr. Fu's exact words.

However, most people are just sparring partners; only the first and second place players have this opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man understood that some things could only be obtained when one's cultivation level reached a certain point, so he decided to ask some useful questions:

Who are first and second place?

"Luo Xuan is first, Fang Yong is second." Little Fatty thought for a moment and said, "They are both from wealthy families, so it's only natural that they have such achievements."

The Luo family is a prominent family in Luoyun City.

As the daughter of the Luo family, Luo Xuan has always been ranked first in the sixth courtyard.

Fang Yong is no ordinary man either. He is said to have family lineage and is extremely powerful. He has almost become number one several times.

It was just a matter of being one move off.

Although her family was not wealthy, their resources were not as abundant as Luo Xuan's.

Jiang Man already knew that the two of them had taken the top two spots, but he brought it up in order to ask his next question: "What are their cultivation levels?"

"Cultivation level?" Little Fatty recalled for a moment and said, "It's really hard to say, but I know their scores. Luo Xuan scored 62 points, and Fang Yong scored 60 points."

Those who score above 60 have at least reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, and the highest should be the seventh level.

In an instant, Jiang Man remembered his own score of 0; for an ordinary person, that's 0 points.

However, these people's cultivation levels are surprisingly high.

Therefore, it seems that one cannot act arbitrarily within Qingyun Pavilion.

It's probably still related to the competition for spots.

Otherwise, if Fang Yong were to make a move against him, it would be very difficult for him to continue improving.

"What score did you get?" Jiang Man asked the chubby boy curiously.

The latter did not answer, but instead said arrogantly, "It's a score you can't catch up to."

Jiang Man was puzzled.

How many points can the second to last score?
A few points?
Still less than ten?

Jiang Man then asked about the calculation of the scores.

"Usually, it's all about cultivation level; that's the biggest factor."

"Of course, this includes the Qi Refining Technique level, the Qi and Blood Technique level, and the Visualization Technique level. The higher the level, the higher the score," Little Fatty explained.

After getting a general understanding, Jiang Man realized that surpassing the first and second place in three months was indeed not easy.

If you don't surpass them, you won't qualify.

The two paths are worlds apart.

With that thought in mind, he began to circulate his external cultivation techniques.

First, warm up a hundred times, then improve your cultivation level as quickly as possible.

He must rise to a sufficient level before the rankings are recalculated next month.

A single, significant leap forward could reduce their hostility.

The problem with gradual improvement is that everyone will come and offer their opinions.

Little Fatty was completely bewildered when he saw Jiang Man begin cultivating.
