The young lady still cares about the young master.
Chapter 321 The young lady still cares about the young master.
The Ninth Peak, the Second Courtyard.
The small courtyard of Jiang Man and others.
Everyone was cultivating at this moment, and Ji Hao sat to the side watching them.
He would occasionally say, "Mr. Yan, you're being a bit too hasty with your luck. Take it slow."
Yan Yiqiu nodded silently.
After a short while, Ji Hao spoke again: "Mr. Yan's luck was a bit slow."
Mr. Yan nodded silently once again.
Afterwards, Ji Hao reminded An Rong, Cao Cheng, and the others.
However, seven out of ten sentences were reminders to Mr. Yan.
Mr. Yan felt deeply humiliated by the repeated reminders.
What exactly is she here for?
Why is it even more humiliating than when she was studying in the inner courtyard?
Not only that, we need to be more diligent and work harder, and we need to improve even more.
Whom does Mr. Ji think he is criticizing?
She is a teaching assistant at the small courtyard, not a student.
Ever since she became involved with Jiang Man, her life has been plunged into darkness.
I also suddenly realized that I could work so hard after I started working.
Even Tantai Xue, who was standing to the side, was stunned.
"What's wrong with this world? Why does a teacher have to undergo such rigorous self-cultivation? And why is he subject to such criticism?"
"How can she save face after being publicly called out like this? Does she still want to continue working here?"
Tantai Xue was filled with surprise.
She felt that Mr. Yan probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long and would have to apply to move to the outer gate.
Her skills and talent are indeed lacking.
In this situation, going to the outer gate is the best option.
Being an inner disciple of the Golden Core Sect is a bit of a stretch.
Even the primordial spirit would feel powerless.
They can only teach ordinary lower houses.
But now, even if a primordial spirit comes to this small courtyard, it's impossible to teach it.
Not to mention a Golden Core cultivator.
She was also quite curious about how a Golden Core cultivator could get into this small courtyard as a teaching assistant.
At this moment, Qingdai, who had never been reminded before, whispered to her young mistress, "The young master hasn't come these days. Is it because it's almost time?"
The existence of a peerless genius's destiny is subject to time and conditions.
If the conditions are not met within the stipulated time, it will be the beginning of destruction.
In the past, the son-in-law would never have gone this long without coming, unless he had a mission to complete.
But now there are no missions, yet they continue to cultivate in this manner.
There's probably only one possibility.
The son-in-law has been driven to the brink of despair.
If the conditions are not met, then
Ji Meng did not speak, but silently cultivated.
Qingdai continued, "Logically speaking, since the young master has advanced so quickly, he shouldn't encounter any difficult conditions and should be able to live a stable life for a while."
"Or is the condition something else that the son-in-law is not good at?"
"Let's cultivate," Ji Meng said.
Qingdai nodded, but she was very curious whether her young mistress was worried about her son-in-law.
Of course, I'm even more curious about the son-in-law's specific situation.
She naturally hoped that her son-in-law would live as long as possible.
But there is an upper limit.
That means it's dangerous to have a high level of cultivation.
Therefore, she hoped that her son-in-law would remain in a weak state, which meant that his life was not in immediate danger.
While Qingdai was pondering, Ji Meng suddenly spoke up: "Number five is the March test on the circulation of power and magic. Go and call him then."
Qingdai nodded immediately.
The young lady cares about her son-in-law.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Meanwhile, Jiang Man was also consulting the old ox.
He is currently at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the mid-stage of the physical body realm, and the ninth level of the spiritual realm.
His physical strength was severely imbalanced. If it weren't for Ji Hao's insights into the primordial spirit, he would have suffered from excessive mental energy that was circulating within his body, leading to a qi deviation.
Now his body is almost at its limit. Let alone going all out, even mobilizing half of his mental power would cause his body to be unable to withstand it and he would go into a state of demonic possession.
My body is indeed somewhat weak.
“Condensing your primordial spirit is easy, but your situation is not optimistic. If you don’t control your power well, it could be very dangerous,” the old ox said.
"What if you can't control it well? Does that mean it's easy once you control it well?" Jiang Man asked.
The old ox paused for a moment, then said, "Theoretically, that's how it is, but you only have four days. If you make a mistake, it will be very dangerous. It's best to get a feel for it beforehand."
"What do you feel?" Jiang Man asked curiously.
The old ox spoke earnestly: "Your primordial spirit."
Afterwards, Jiang Man understood how to solidify his primordial spirit.
The existence of the primordial spirit is inseparable from the body and cultivation level, but the weight of the primordial spirit is not actually manifested.
The weight of spiritual energy exists even if it is not manifested.
However, the primordial spirit is different; it requires a certain amount of guidance to release its weight.
The so-called solidification is to directly manifest this weight in cultivation and physical body.
When one has sufficient strength and weight, one can learn special techniques.
This is why some spells require the ninth level of the primordial spirit.
Because it is heavy enough to pry open heavy and complex powerful spells.
At that time, one can also use the physical body and cultivation to manifest the primordial spirit.
Like a giant standing on the earth.
Just like Bai Qiufeng's great magic before.
At least they look alike.
"Understood," Jiang Man nodded. "I'll begin solidifying it now."
"Do you think you have enough control?" the old ox asked.
Jiang Man smiled slightly and said, "How could it not be enough? I never improve casually. I have a deep understanding of each realm I reach, and I have never slackened on the road to becoming stronger."
"Old Huang, you still don't understand."
"The true peerless genius does not lie on his talent and collect meager cultivation, but walks on the path of countless people with his talent, always at the forefront, seeing even more advanced paths and more ancient people."
"Of course, there will come a day when there will be no more roads or people in front of me, and every step I take from now on will be a completely new path."
The old ox remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What if the path to immortality has an end?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man suddenly laughed: "There is no end, because I have not yet reached the end you speak of. When I arrive at that place, you will find that the path of immortality has no end."
Old Huang shook his head, indicating his disbelief.
The younger a person is, the more energetic they are.
Countless geniuses, which one didn't think this way when they were young?
Jiang Man didn't care and began to solidify his primordial spirit.
Jiang Man sat down cross-legged and began to sense the existence of his primordial spirit, and then to perceive his golden core and physical body.
What he needed to do was to integrate the spiritual power within his primordial spirit into his golden core and physical body.
This is a very dangerous thing.
Because their physical body and cultivation level are not that strong.
The slightest carelessness could cause cracks in the body, resulting in a surge of power.
Invincible.
As he gradually merged with it, his entire body seemed to be imbued with immense power, and the ground beneath him bore the force, sinking down little by little.
One day later.
Jiang Man's feet had sunk into the ground, giving him a solid and heavy feeling.
Every gesture he made carried a terrifying aura.
Two days later.
Jiang Man's waist sank into the ground, and his body weight reached its limit.
His entire body can even project a phantom image of himself, which can expand as he wishes, making him appear like a giant standing.
But the solidification continued, this time drawing all the illusory images back into the body.
Day three.
Jiang Man's position remained unchanged, but the surrounding phantoms seemed to transform into stars and merge into his body.
Finally, it disappeared.
Instantly, Jiang Man opened his eyes, and an indescribable pressure appeared. All the spiritual herbs under his gaze were flattened, and the celestial dog that was watering the spiritual herbs was slapped to the ground.
In an instant, everything vanished.
The stress disappeared.
Jiang Man slowly stood up, leaving the large pit beneath him, and turned to look at the old ox, saying, "Little Yellow, after the great restoration of the immortal sects, have you ever seen a thirty-year-old who has condensed their primordial spirit?"
The old ox didn't even raise its head, contentedly grazing on the grass.
Jiang Man continued, "Tomorrow is the final deadline. I wonder if the Peerless Prodigy Destiny will react. It's biting so hard this time, it shouldn't be unable to react, right?" He realized he had been too fast before, and the Peerless Prodigy Destiny was spinning non-stop.
This time, we were just one day apart and almost got caught up.
There shouldn't be any unexpected issues.
You can get some rewards, more or less.
Not a loss.
I just don't know what it will be.
After Jiang Man filled the hole in the ground, he discovered that his arm had some injuries and was quite painful.
It's because my physical body is too weak.
He is now stronger, but his combat prowess may not be as great.
Because there is less power that can be mobilized.
If you overdo it, you'll go astray and become possessed.
"This is quite troublesome. I'm afraid I can't beat even one of them in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm," Jiang Man couldn't help but sigh.
Just as he was about to practice a body-refining technique to alleviate his physical pain, the sound of a silver bell rang out; it was Ji Meng coming over.
"Is Young Master Jiang going to cultivate again?" Ji Meng asked curiously from the courtyard gate.
Jiang Man nodded: "I was just planning to cultivate the body-refining technique."
Then he asked curiously, "Did Miss Ji Meng come today to see if I've finished my cultivation?"
"Yes." Ji Meng nodded with a smile, then said, "Tomorrow is Mr. Ji's assessment day, and Young Master Jiang should be able to participate."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man was taken aback and said, "Tomorrow?"
Isn't that the end of the world?
Not only did he stop practicing, his condition worsened.
Forget about getting a high score, I'm afraid I'll be short a few points.
Ji Meng asked curiously, "Young Master Jiang, you lack confidence?"
"I'm confident." Jiang Man nodded earnestly.
I'm confident I'll get zero.
The next day.
Jiang Man finished practicing the body-refining technique, but unfortunately, he could barely even stop the pain.
Not to mention performance evaluations.
However, even without a task, one must participate in the assessment.
"Young Master Jiang, how many points do you think you can get on the test?" Ji Meng, who was going to the courtyard with him, asked curiously.
Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "I have been in seclusion for cultivation during this period."
"So you were able to get a perfect score?" Qingdai asked from behind.
The assessment is conducted in stages.
If you master this stage completely, you can get a perfect score.
Jiang Man turned to look at the other person and shook his head, saying, "That's why I didn't learn the method of power circulation."
Qingdai was taken aback.
Oh, it was a zero.
However, she also understood that her son-in-law must have been driven to desperation by his destiny as an unparalleled genius.
If we push them too far now, won't it be even more difficult later?
He hasn't even become an immortal yet, so is the son-in-law going to be the shortest-lived one?
She dared not think too much about it.
Once they arrived at the courtyard, everyone was ready.
Ji Hao looked at everyone and said, "The top three in this assessment will receive rewards: 30,000 spirit resources for first place, 20,000 for second place, and 10,000 for third place."
Upon hearing this, Ji Shouyin took it seriously.
Thirty thousand spirit resources were not much for him in the past.
but.
He doesn't have much spiritual energy left.
Thirty thousand is not a small amount.
Who would have thought that Jiang Manhua's spiritual source was just like Hua Shenme's? They weren't this fierce during their primordial spirit stage.
The spiritual energy that had been stored for many years was used up in just one year.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man was taken aback.
Mr. Ji actually launched a sneak attack.
Does that mean I'm destined to be deprived of these spiritual resources?
The assessment then began.
It remains in the form of writing.
Writing the contents of a book naturally engages the body's energy, allowing for its operation and control, which is essential for successful writing.
Jiang Man tried it and found that he had only written the first page.
Before his primordial spirit solidified, he could write three pages.
The regression is severe.
After that, Jiang Man sat quietly, feeling the changes in her body.
After the assessment of physical strength is over, the assessment of magical techniques will begin.
Jiang Man didn't write a single word. Fortunately, the assessment was simple and didn't involve any real-world practice, otherwise it would have been even worse.
The assessment was conducted in the morning, and the scores and rankings were released in the afternoon.
Ranking of Yuan Shen (Primordial Spirits).
The first season is safe.
The Second Miaoyu Forest.
The third is Ji Shoumo.
Bai Qiufeng ranked fourth, her brows furrowed tightly.
The three members of the Ji family have been working too hard lately, and we thought that others wouldn't be like them.
It seems they haven't had a moment's rest.
I need to work even harder at my training now.
However, they were also curious about Jiang Man's ranking.
I thought I could make it into the top ten.
Finally, it was discovered that they were in last place again.
"How can it be so bad?" Bai Qiufeng frowned.
The Nine Stars series is a masterpiece; it can't be this bad.
Or is it that he's not good at these things?
For a moment, they felt that the Nine Stars Series at its peak wasn't so scary after all.
If one's skill improvement is rapid, but one's power application and technique learning are average, then there is no threat.
Seeing Jiang Man and Ji Linglong, they felt something was off.
Then they suspected that Jiang Man might have broken through to a higher level.
Otherwise, the outcome wouldn't have been like this.
However, since they didn't see it, the pressure was much less.
"Just keep an eye on his safety. Now that Miaoyulin has also come up, we must compete with them for the spots first," Ji Shoumo said.
What happens in the fourth year if I don't get a spot?
Three people from the small courtyard have returned to the Void Realm; without them, it would mean being eliminated.
How to fight against the Bai family?
The three members of the Bai family felt the same way when they communicated.
I must cultivate and improve my strength.
Jiang Man simply continued to suppress it using the same mental array as before.
Of course, we don't expect to completely suppress it; we'll suppress it as much as we can.
The poor performance in this assessment may well be due to the formation.
Jiang Man noticed that these people only paid attention to him briefly before getting busy with their own things.
Their own scores are not important to them.
"It seems that Young Master Jiang has suddenly gone from a highly anticipated prodigy to an unknown student," Ji Meng said as she approached Jiang Man and looked at the rankings.
Jiang Man said nonchalantly, "The time is not yet right. My light has always been there, it just needs a process."
He paused, then looked away from the rankings and asked Ji Meng curiously, "Miss Ji Meng, how come you're second to last?"
Ji Meng turned to meet Jiang Man's eyes and casually said, "Maybe I haven't tried hard enough."
"Then Miss Himeko will have to work harder."
"That's still a bit better than Young Master Jiang."
"Miss Hime's bracelet is a little different today."
"A new storage artifact."
Ji Meng raised her hand and shook the bracelet on her wrist.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Jiang Man planned to talk to Fang Yong about the sect's expansion of enrollment, to see if they could save some spiritual resources.
He had only turned around and taken a few steps when he felt a vibration in his mind, and his long-dormant destiny as a peerless genius began to react.
coming.
Jiang Man was very curious about what the reward would be this time, and also wanted to know what the new conditions would be.
I wonder if it's biting tightly.
