Bai Family Patriarch: Will I be killed?
Chapter 317 Bai Family Patriarch: Will I be killed?
"Five hundred thousand?" Jiang Man looked at Ren Qian in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say it was fifty thousand? Logically, it should be eight hundred thousand."
“Five hundred thousand is not a small number,” Ren Qian explained. “These people are only related to the Sun and Moon Immortal Path; there are very few who actually belong to the Sun and Moon Immortal Path.”
"That's why some are cheap."
"That adds up to 500,000."
Jiang Man didn't mind, and asked, "If I need special spells, do I still need to do a mission?"
Ren Qian shook his head: "No need. As long as you have a mental level of nine, you can choose special techniques."
"However, the Nine Stars series consists of three books, and you have only obtained one so that you cannot fully utilize its potential."
"Of course, special spells are also good, it just depends on your needs, junior brother."
After a pause, Ren Qian continued, "Also, it seems that Junior Sister Yu has gone to compete for missions for you again. There is some danger for you to go out now, so you should be careful when accepting missions."
Jiang Man asked curiously, "A mission? What kind of mission?"
"It should be related to the expansion of enrollment," Ren Qian said.
Jiang was puzzled.
Expanding enrollment?
Ren Qian nodded and said, "The Immortal Sect has issued new decrees, and the environmental restoration has been effective, the population has increased, and the economic situation has improved."
"There are always some people who have spiritual resources, but they may not be able to enter the sect."
"so."
"So you're going to open a new sect?" Jiang Man asked.
Ren Qian shook his head: "The situation of the three major sects will not change easily. The sects can recruit more people, but the threshold will not be lowered."
"But there will always be some people who are stuck. Although it may not matter in the short term, over time, their path of cultivation will become narrower and narrower, which is not in the interest of the immortal sects."
"Therefore, we expanded our recruitment and broadened the scope of the Immortal Sect's governance, incorporating those wild sects."
"The sects can allocate a portion of their resources to support those sects."
"Then let them receive more seekers of the Way."
"If someone becomes a Golden Core cultivator, they can come to the sect for assessment."
"Those who pass will be able to enter the inner sect of the sect."
"The path to immortality has been expanded in disguise."
Jiang Man immediately understood what the Immortal Sect wanted to do; if he hadn't joined the sect before, he would have had almost no hope for the future.
Now there are other options, but they will definitely cost more spiritual energy.
It's still a path, more or less.
Immediately, Jiang Man asked, "What if those sects don't cooperate?"
“If the Immortal Sect expands its territory, it doesn’t matter if they’re not within that territory. But if they are, there are only two options,” Ren Qian said after considering for a moment. “One is to agree to be incorporated, and the other is to move out of the Immortal Sect’s territory.”
Jiang Man nodded, understanding the attitude of the Immortal Sect.
The overall well-being of the immortal sects is relatively good, but the interests are not balanced.
There will always be someone who feels they have suffered a loss.
The once free sects are now to be incorporated into the Great Cultivation of the Immortal Sect.
Accept the decree of the Immortal Sect.
It's as if a huge mountain has appeared above our heads, controlling the overall direction.
Of course, some sects would love to be incorporated into the immortal sects.
There's no need to smuggle martial arts techniques anymore.
"The scope should be defined soon, and the task of expanding recruitment will fall to the inner sect. This is an achievement. Simply put, if this task is done well, many things can be discounted."
“For example, your rent.” Ren Qian paused, then continued, “There are other hidden rewards, such as things the sect might give out, like food.”
"If Junior Sister Yu succeeds, Junior Brother should also be able to participate in the expanded enrollment."
"But my junior brother's situation is special, and he has reported so many undercover agents."
"It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse."
Jiang Man feels that she can no longer go out freely.
There are no restrictions on sects.
Going out means you're likely to get beaten up.
Because of the rumors spread by the Ji family, some unruly people from the immortal sects wanted to take action against him.
Furthermore, the purpose of the Sun and Moon Immortal Path was to do something, and even more so to take action against him.
Without further thought, Jiang Man put away the spiritual energy and saw Ren Qian off.
"Old Huang, what level of cultivation do you think the people who want to deal with me are?" Jiang Man asked.
Some within the Immortal Sect want to kill him, and others on the Sun and Moon Immortal Path also want to kill him.
But they all have one big misconception.
That means they were just going with the flow.
It's not certain that he really is Meng Qiewei's Daoist partner.
Therefore, the people they send must not be too strong.
Not enough attention was paid to it.
"It's hard to say. Perhaps some people just like to fight beyond their level, and it's not impossible for them to cross a whole realm," the old ox said.
"That's true. If I feel like I'm being forced to get promoted, then I guess I'll just have to get promoted to show them," Jiang said nonchalantly.
Next comes the practice of visualization techniques.
Ideally, you should collect the seventh gourd by October.
Then you can improve your cultivation level.

Outside the Mist Cloud Sect.
A group of people had been waiting for a long time.
The leader said, "It seems the contact person hasn't arrived. Let's find out what happened."
The next day.
A young man said seriously, "They've been arrested. It's not just our contact person; other celestial contact persons have also been arrested. Apparently, they were reported."
The woman in black robes at the head of the group asked, "Do you know who it is?"
"It's still under investigation," the man replied.
The woman was silent for a moment, then said, "You can ask the other immortals' subordinates."
"Even if they're not in a sect, they usually have their own information channels."
That afternoon, they received accurate information from Linghua Xianling's subordinates.
The person who reported the undercover agent was Jiang Man.
"Does this person think he's living too long?" the leading woman asked, frowning. "What's his cultivation level?"
“It should be the primordial spirit,” the visitor replied.
"Primordial spirit? No wonder you're so fearless." The leading woman was silent for a moment before saying, "Our purpose in coming here is to find a great demon, and it wouldn't hurt to deal with him while we're at it."
"When the time comes, you two should send two people to deal with him."
"Let him know that sometimes it's best not to meddle in other people's business."
"Some spiritual resources are so hot to hold that they'll burn your hands."
"First, enter the Misty Cloud Sect, then investigate the location of the great demon."
"Now that you've found him, you can teach Jiang Man a lesson about how to behave."
But before they could take any further action, they suddenly received a cooperation offer.
They have been complaining about the bitterness of the river for a long time, which has disrupted many of their operations.
They need to get rid of this person, and they have already set up some formations to hinder his power.
The more one cultivates, the greater the impact.
Furthermore, they are willing to pay enough spiritual resources.
The woman in the lead asked in surprise, "Does this man have so many enemies?"
Then it has to be him.
As long as they leave the sect, someone will be there to meet them.
The sect realized what was happening and immediately began hunting them down.
It's not that I haven't experienced it.
-
Outer sect of the Misty Cloud Sect.
In an ordinary courtyard, a young man sat cross-legged, surrounded by rotating stars and divination symbols. Moments later, these symbols shattered with a deafening roar.
He opened his eyes, looking puzzled.
"Strange thing."
He then walked out and arrived at the sesame seed cake shop.
As he sat down, Song Qingcai suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mr. Bai, did you do something to me?"
Mr. Bai nodded: "I haven't finished what I want to do yet, so naturally I can't let you ruin it."
Song Qing asked curiously, "Then why did Mr. Bai tell me this?"
“Perhaps it’s your destiny that’s good; you shouldn’t be living this kind of life. That’s why I always see you as different from others,” Mr. Bai said with a sigh. “Or perhaps most of the people you know are like this.”
"What should I have been like?" Song Qing asked curiously.
"Have you ever seen the black mud in the barren land?" Mr. Bai sighed. "There is no hope, no self, no future, no vitality."
"Is it that bad?" Song Qing asked.
"Pretty much, but you've lived quite a long time." After ordering soy milk and sesame cakes, Mr. Bai continued, "You're different now. Although you're still in the black mud, you have hope, a future, yourself, and vitality."
"In addition, there is also danger."
How long you live depends a lot on luck.
Not everyone will treat you like ants and ignore you.
"However, your friend who sells elixirs has encountered a new change in his destiny, but we don't know what will happen."
"Young Master Gao?" Song Qing asked.
Mr. Bai shook his head.
“Miss Luo?” Song Qing asked again.
“Yes, her future has a new option,” Mr. Bai said.
Song Qing asked, puzzled, "Is it good or bad?"
Mr. Bai pondered for a moment and said, "A safer path."
Upon hearing this, Song Qing became interested: "Mr. Bai, do you think there's a possibility between Young Master Gao and Miss Luo? And Young Master Fang and Miss Cheng?"
"And Lao Chang too."
"A life of toil," Mr. Bai said with a smile.
"Old Chang?" Song Qing shook his head and sighed, "He's in a pretty bad situation. What about the others?"
"I can't be sure," Mr. Bai said, shaking his head as he ate his sesame seed cake.
"And what about Mr. Bai himself?" Song Qing suddenly asked.
Mr. Bai was taken aback and said, "Something strange has happened in my future."
"What is it?"
"I felt like I was going to be killed today, which was very strange."
"Did you try to kill someone, and then get killed yourself?"
"The people I'm trying to kill are very strong, that's for sure. But I'm prepared this time. They can't kill me; on the contrary, I can kill them. At worst, we'll both perish. But this morning, I didn't feel that kind of death. Instead, it felt like someone was trying to kill me with overwhelming power. Or maybe someone has decided to kill me and is determined to do so." Mr. Bai said curiously while drinking his soy milk. "I'm wondering who wants to kill me and how they can do it. Of course, I'm also a little curious."
"Expecting?" Song Qing asked, puzzled.
Mr. Bai suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, only the weak fear death."
After finishing his meal, Mr. Bai kindly reminded him, "The Immortal Sect is going to expand its recruitment, which will put you in even greater danger. Your boss has attracted more powerful enemies, so you'd better find a way to buy a suitable spirit pet."
"Perhaps it will be able to avoid some danger."
"Although you are weak, I find you quite interesting, and it would be a pity if you died."
"Where can I find a spirit pet?" Song Qing asked helplessly.
Mr. Bai looked at the three spirit pet eggs in the shop: "Let's take the middle one."
After that, Mr. Bai left. Song Qing looked at the red spirit pet egg in the middle, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to ask Jiang Man.
-
the other side.
Jiang Man received the message brought by Lao Chang.
Song Qing wanted to hatch a spirit beast egg.
Jiang Man agreed and handed the envelope to Lao Chang, asking him to deliver it to Song Qing and Xiao Pang.
Whoever draws it will lose their spiritual energy.
That evening, Chang Qiwen sent a message saying that Xiao Pang had won.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Man sighed heavily: "It's actually Little Fatty, what a pity."
"What's a pity?" the old ox asked.
"After a while, he'll probably say he's suffered, that even though he's reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he still can't beat Luo Xuan or anything like that," Jiang Man said casually.
"Is the Luo Xuan you mentioned someone whose ancestor is a traitor outside?" the old ox asked.
Jiang Man paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said, "When sects expand their recruitment, is Lingyue Sect included? If so, then the Luo family's status will change."
"It seems that Luo's second uncle is about to become a primordial spirit."
"It seems that the Gao family doesn't even have a primordial spirit. In that case, the Gao family is inferior to the Luo family."
"Isn't Luo Xuan going to leave?"
"Good news?" the old ox asked.
"It's hard to say," Jiang Man sighed.
He couldn't tell for a moment whether Little Fatty was suffering or not.
I still need to find a way to get him to stay up late to practice, but unfortunately I can't go over often to urge him on.
Let's write them a training manual and put them to a test every now and then.
However, it's better to let Lao Huang write it; he's more adept at it.
After that, Jiang Man focused on cultivation.
Until October 1st.
He then stopped cultivating.
The seventh gourd is full; now it's time to prepare for an upgrade in cultivation.
There are three and a half months left.
Jiang Man said in shock, "Old Huang, I feel like my time is running out. This time, the fate of the peerless genius is really ruthless."
He still has classes to teach today, and he also needs to practice how to control spiritual energy.
Hopefully, this will help improve my cultivation level.
As for magic, he didn't have time to practice it.
He had no interest in whether the Immortal Path of the Sun and Moon would retaliate against him.
As long as you stay within the sect, you are basically safe.
"Have you noticed any problems with your formation lately?" the old ox suddenly asked.
“I noticed it and it tried to block my power. I don’t feel it normally, but as soon as I use my full strength, my power is blocked, which causes a backlash.” Jiang Man said casually, then paused and continued, “There is also the effect on my mind. The more I cultivate, the more likely my mind is to have problems, which will cause me to stop cultivating.”
"The more anxious you are, the less likely you are to succeed."
"I don't know if this was done by one person or two people."
"If there are two people, then one of them will definitely attack me, forcing me to use my full strength and severely injure me."
Jiang Man ignored all of this.
Because he cannot use his full strength, if he uses too much spiritual power, his cultivation and physical body will not be able to withstand it.
The second one was even less effective; even an evil god couldn't lock his mind, let alone a formation.
The person who set up the formation isn't in a hurry, so why is he?
Let's improve our cultivation first.
After that, Jiang Man went to the courtyard.
In preparation for the lesson, Mr. Ji will formally teach everyone today how to control their power and apply it in actual combat.
As soon as Qi Xi and Miao Yulin entered the courtyard, they found Ji An and the others cultivating.
Qi Xi, in particular, discovered that Miao Yulin had also begun cultivating.
"Why did you suddenly start cultivating?" Qi Xi asked.
"In the competition for spots, didn't you notice that Ji Shoumo and Bai Qiufeng have already started cultivating?" Miao Yulin said.
After a pause, she explained, "It is said that the Immortal Sect is going to start expanding its recruitment, and resources will be allocated to it to some extent. The number of places for returning to the Void may also decrease, and then it will gradually increase later."
"Nobody wants to be stuck next time, so improving is the most important thing this time."
"Moreover, a master of the Nine Star Series has emerged in the courtyard. He couldn't compete with him this time, but who can compete with him next time?"
“Naturally, no one wants to be left behind, especially since the Ji family has been cultivating like madmen lately. The Bai family has sensed the crisis, and Ji An doesn’t dare to sit idly by. So I naturally have to step up my efforts as well.”
Qi Xi was bewildered. Wasn't it said that there was a mission?
Why are they all cultivating?
