Chapter 323 Why does the old woman seem so youthful?
Fallen Cloud City.
The Gao family.
Gao Cunfeng met with Luo Huaili, the head of the Luo family, today.
"What happened to Patriarch Gao?" Luo Huaili asked.
"I've received some news," Gao Cunfeng said seriously. "This time, the sect is preparing to expand its recruitment. The scope of the expansion is very broad, and it may even expand the sect's territory."
"Expanded enrollment?" Luo Huaili asked, somewhat surprised. "Is it the same here?"
“Yes, it won’t be long before the person in charge from the sect arrives.” Gao Cunfeng pondered for a moment and said, “This person in charge’s words are extremely important. If we are not careful, the situation in Luoyun City will change.”
"So the Luo family should be careful."
The Luo family is the weakest among the families in Luoyun City, and there is still no news about the only inner sect Golden Core cultivator in the family.
If it weren't for the Gao family, the Luo family would probably have declined long ago.
Luo Huaili was filled with emotion.
If the person in charge wants to do something now that they've come down, the Luo family will be the first to be affected.
Whether they can escape this calamity is hard to say.
“Now it’s not just us, even the Fang and Li families are very worried. They’re all inquiring within the sect about who’s in charge this time. If they can make contact with them in advance, things will be much safer,” Gao Cunfeng said.
He paused for a moment and then sighed again: "My youngest son used to have some connections, but unfortunately, I can't get any information from him. What did your daughter say?"
"No message came back," Luo Huaili said, shaking his head.
"Then we can only wait." Gao Cunfeng said helplessly. "Hopefully the person in charge this time won't go too far, otherwise it's hard to say what will happen. Once we know his news, we'll have to ask the people in the inner sect as soon as possible."
Luo Huaili felt helpless, because the Luo family currently had no one in the inner sect.
Luo Lu, the only one with any hope, has not yet qualified to form a Core Formation.
Another Golden Core cultivator has already left the inner sect. Although he works in the sect, he is far inferior to those who remained in the inner sect.
Luo Huaili nodded, then paused and added, "Luo Xuan seems to have a good relationship with Gao Yao recently, and they've both reached the Foundation Establishment stage, which is a good thing."
Gao Cunfeng said helplessly, "My son doesn't know what's good for him, and I don't know what's going on in his head."
Gao Cunfeng was truly disappointed in this situation.
Luo Xuan and the others had met before; they would come over for a visit when they returned.
They were willing, although there were many external factors.
But she didn't seem to mind.
She is beautiful, virtuous, and has a good temperament.
He is still a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
However, there are some people who are oblivious and don't know what's good for them.
However, we don't have time to deal with them right now; we need to focus on this expansion of enrollment.
Hopefully they can get through this ordeal safely.
Actually, there are more ways to get information from these two smaller ones; asking around might reveal the details.

Mist Cloud Sect.
Inner door.
The moonlight shone on Jiang Man.
At this point, he had begun to integrate innate spiritual energy.
They wanted to see what kind of supernatural power had appeared this time, and whether it would hinder him.
As Jiang Man merged with the innate spiritual energy, he felt his cultivation resonate with his physical body, and then his primordial spirit joined in.
Some ethereal changes appeared around the three parties.
It was as if an insurmountable chasm had separated them.
To keep things that are close at hand from getting close.
Then everything disappeared and merged into the body.
At that moment, Jiang Man opened his eyes.
He mastered a completely new supernatural power.
So far away.
"Has he developed supernatural powers?" the old ox asked Jiang Man.
“Yes, it has appeared.” Jiang Man nodded.
However, he was not clear about the specifics.
"What's your name?" the old ox asked.
Jiang Man truthfully replied, "It's like being worlds apart, but we don't yet know the specific effects."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the tengu watering the grass and said, "Come and attack me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tengu rushed towards Jiang Man with a whoosh, its claws flashing as it attacked directly.
Jiang Man: "."
Such a swift action suggests a degree of personal grudge involved.
However, the moment they got close, Jiang Man activated his supernatural power, making them seem worlds apart.
Then, what was about to attack Jiang Mantian Dog seemed to stop at the side.
It has been impossible to make any progress.
Jiang Man also had a feeling that she couldn't touch the other person.
However, mental pressure can be used.
It also allows you to dodge this attack.
Jiang Man took a step forward, and the celestial dog returned to normal, its claws missing their mark.
His entire body fell to the ground.
"Looks good, but what about the consumption?" the old ox asked.
“My energy and spirit have been somewhat depleted, but not continuously, unlike the Three Mountains that suppress the peaks,” Jiang Man said after carefully sensing the situation.
The Three Mountains and the Mountain Peak will continuously absorb spiritual energy to enhance their power.
But the distance between them was not so great.
"It seems to be randomly generated," the old ox said.
Jiang Man was somewhat skeptical: "Is this person with the destiny of a peerless genius being so kind? Could it be a trap?"
The old ox was silent for a moment before saying, "You should focus your attention on the path to immortality."
"Is this the most difficult one?" Jiang Man asked.
The old ox smiled without saying a word.
Let Jiang Man guess for himself.
Jiang Man chose to ignore this.
It's always like this; whenever they get the chance, they only tell half the story and leave the other half unsaid.
I hate people like that the most, and I hate even more that I'm not the one who's like that.
He would be happy to tell Lao Huang half of what he wanted to say and leave the other half for Lao Huang to guess.
Jiang Man didn't think much of it and chose to first improve Mr. Ji's power circulation method.
After all, it can alleviate one's own condition; physical pain caused by excessive mental exertion can be relieved after improving the method of using power.
The competition for promotion will be less intense.
Hurry up.
The more Jiang Man practiced, the more he realized Mr. Ji's great talent.
At the primordial spirit level, there shouldn't be any better cultivation methods.
The so-called method of drawing upon power consists of three parts.
The first part is meticulous.
Sink your divine thoughts into every corner of your body until there are no blind spots. Your body is no longer a vague whole, but a vast network of power connected by your primordial spirit's thoughts.
The second part involves breaking down the whole into smaller parts.
Disassemble and disperse highly concentrated power, integrate it into the whole body, and then reassemble it at will. Understand the operation, mobilization, and state of these powers.
The third part is the integration of knowledge and application.
Knowing every inch of one's skin, knowing the slightest changes in power, being able to draw upon power at will, yet seeing no power at all.
They become one, their power merging with their primordial spirit, and their primordial spirit merging with their body.
Everything is integrated into a whole, no longer just connected.
Maintaining these things for a moment is easy, but maintaining them in battle is not so easy, especially with complex spells that require mental focus. Subtlety can cause them to dissipate, fragmentation can lead to stagnation, not to mention the need for a unified understanding and application.
Just as it is easy for an ordinary person to stand and maintain balance, it is not easy to maintain balance after various movements, and walking with various movements on a cliff is even more difficult.
Jiang Man diligently cultivated for ten days.
Mid-January.
Only then did I feel the pain begin to subside, and at least some tiny cracks did not appear.
By going even further and eliminating the excess power from affecting the body, one can better improve their physical cultivation.
Once the physical body reaches the later stages, there shouldn't be any problems.
Although I can't use my full strength, it's close enough.
That day, Jiang Man went to the outer gate, found Xiao Pang and the others, gave them some interest, and then asked them how they were doing.
Jiang Man felt relieved to know that they were having a tough time.
Afterwards, he told Luo Xuan about her second uncle and the recruitment.
The other party was momentarily dazed.
Afterwards, Jiang Man explained the cultivation method to them.
After asking Lao Chang if he wanted to rent the spirit sword, Jiang Man left.
Because Lao Chang doesn't rent.
The next day, Jiang Man went to Ji Meng's residence and walked with her to the courtyard.
"Has Young Master Jiang's mission been assigned yet?" Ji Meng asked.
Jiang Man nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Ji Meng originally had one too, but unfortunately this task is not suitable for Miss Ji Meng."
Ji Meng nodded and said, "I heard from Xiao Qing that it was your senior sister who fought for us. She's still in jail, and Xiao Qing visits her often. It seems like she's been corrupted by her."
Jiang Man asked curiously, "Did Senior Sister Yu corrupt you? How did she corrupt you?"
Ji Meng pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Qing would never have suggested that I wear such a short fairy dress before."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man sighed inwardly, "So that's how it's done." He hoped Qingdai could spend more time with Senior Sister Yu.
Jiang Man's mission was to begin on February 1st.
I'll have to go out again then, but I'm not sure when the mission will be over.
It should take quite a while.
Ji Meng nodded, seemingly looking forward to Jiang Man going out.
This left Jiang Man completely baffled.
But I didn't think much of it.
We arrived at the courtyard.
Ji Hao then reminded everyone, "There isn't much time left until the three-year assessment. You should all have a certain understanding of your cultivation methods by now. You don't need to stay in the courtyard and receive guidance all the time."
"Once I feel it's about time, I can go out on a mission."
"Especially those who are competing for a spot in their third year."
Upon hearing this, the people below began to talk.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
The next day.
Ji An didn't come.
Three days later, the three members of the Bai family still hadn't arrived.
Five days later, Miaoyu Lin did not come.
Ten days later, Ji Shoumo and the other two bid farewell to Jiang Man and did not return.
Fifteen days later.
February 1st.
Jiang Man also decided to go on a mission.
Fang Yong and Wang Yan are the same.
For a moment, Mr. Yan looked at everyone in the courtyard and remained silent.
Half of the people were gone at once.
Qi Xi was even more bewildered, as her primordial spirit was now reduced to just her and Ji Meng.
Qingdai asked her curiously why she wasn't going on the mission.
Qi Xi said that she wasn't good enough either.
She was also among the last few.
Qingdai immediately stepped closer and said, "Then we should be on the same side, since we are ranked next to each other."
Qi Xi was bewildered. Could this be considered as one side of the story?
-
After bidding farewell to Ji Meng, Jiang Man flew away from the sect on his sword.
He needs to rejoin the others on this mission.
He was in charge of this mission, with two assistants and a supervisor.
I don't know if there are any people at risk.
However, things have been relatively peaceful within the sect recently.
Nobody bothered him.
The three members of the Bai family were also focused on cultivation.
The same applies to the unknown Ji An and his group.
They all decided to first secure a spot for promotion to the Void Realm, and then return to target him.
Jiang Man could only say that their thinking was correct.
After all, the top-ranked people are all at roughly the same level. If they don't reach the Void Returning stage next year, they will have no say and will be eliminated.
Under such circumstances, the competition will naturally be fierce, and next year should be the most intense, when these people will probably use all sorts of means against each other.
To his surprise, the person who secretly poisoned him did not react.
He thought he would continue to be guided to the past to detoxify.
However, it should not be underestimated.
The news of this trip was made public.
It is easy for malicious people to take advantage of it.
He wanted to take a safe and secure path, and he even sought Ji Hao's help.
This maximizes the chances of avoiding malicious individuals.
Outside the sect's territory, he carried a magical artifact.
If necessary, the magic weapon can be activated, allowing the sect's combat experts to flatten the ancient sect.
In theory, it can only be used in extreme situations.
First, the other side consists almost entirely of people associated with evil gods.
The second scenario is a situation where everyone is desperately resisting.
The sect's bottom line isn't too bad; if these people are unwilling to join the Immortal Sect's Great Governance, then they have to move away.
The Misty Cloud Sect is willing to contribute spiritual resources to the relocation.
The number is not small.
However, the mission is also fixed: the scope of the Immortal Sect's Great Governance must be expanded, and no one can stop it.
Soon, Jiang Man encountered three people outside the sect.
Two women and one man.
Jiang Man was somewhat surprised to see both women; he actually knew them both.
The man was tall, thin, and aloof.
Jiang Man had never seen it before.
"Senior Sister Zhuo," Jiang Man said softly.
"I never expected that the person in charge this time would be Senior Brother Jiang. From now on, Senior Brother, please don't call me Senior Sister anymore," Zhuo Qingcheng said with a smile.
Han Meixue, standing nearby, also exclaimed excitedly, "Greetings, Senior Brother! Are you a little disappointed that Senior Brother Long and the others didn't come?"
Jiang Man glanced at the other person, not understanding what she meant.
"Alright, let's get ready to go. We have limited time," the tall, thin, and aloof man said.
Jiang Man turned to look at the other person and asked, "Junior Brother, what is your cultivation level?"
The other party said calmly, "Regardless of my cultivation level, I am here to supervise. I hope you will complete the mission well, otherwise I will definitely report your mistakes truthfully."
At this moment, Zhuo Qingcheng gave Jiang Man a note.
It says a name and a message.
He Que, in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, has already been chosen by the main peak and will enter the core when the time comes.
Jiang Man nodded, just like Senior Sister Yu.
They were also specially recruited in advance.
It's very strong in the later stages.
As for Zhuo Qingcheng and Han Meixue, one is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the other is at the peak of the Golden Core realm.
They are already a very strong team.
Jiang Man put away the note and looked at He Que: "Junior Brother, do you know any powerful spells?"
"Is this related to the mission?" He Que asked.
"There's a slight connection, I guess," Jiang Man said casually.
"I won't be involved this time; it's basically all your responsibility," He Que said coldly.
"Let's go then." Jiang Man didn't mind and flew away on his sword.
But He Que quickly said, "You're going in the wrong direction."
"You can choose not to go," Jiang Man replied casually and continued flying away on his sword.
All authority over the mission rests with him.
The task cannot be completed without his presence, but it is completely unaffected without supervision.
He Que frowned and immediately followed up: "Do you know that as your supervisor, I have the right to appeal and redistribute all your rights for such reckless behavior?"
Jiang Man took out a token that was half gold and half silver and said, "Would you like to give it a try?"
Upon seeing this, Zhuo Qingcheng and the others were taken aback.
Half gold and half silver, with extremely high mission privileges.
It also means that being given a preordained status makes seizing power extremely difficult.
Only exceptional individuals, or those with special recommendations, are qualified to receive such a token.
He Que was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "I will record it truthfully."
Jiang Man exclaimed in admiration, "Senior Sister Yu is truly amazing."
Even Fang Yong's token was edged with gold.
It's a bit worse than his, but much better than a regular silver token.
-
When Ji Meng returned from teaching, she asked softly, "Is everything ready?"
Qingdai immediately nodded: "We're all ready. Now we're just waiting for that Bai family member to step into the formation. Will he come?"
Ji Meng nodded: "Yes, he came prepared and will definitely test the situation."
Soon the two arrived at an open space.
A powerful array is displayed here.
the other side.
The Bai family patriarch stepped out of his courtyard, deciding to go for a stroll.
They were enveloped by power the moment they stepped out the door.
The person was forcibly moved.
Seeing this, he sneered, "Using underhanded tricks, it's just the right time to see what you're capable of during your Nascent Soul stage."
The three met within the formation in the next instant.
Mr. Bai looked at Ji Meng and sneered, "Why does this old woman act like a young girl?"
