Wait for me to emerge from seclusion
Chapter 331 Wait for me to emerge from seclusion
Standing on his flying sword, Jiang Man opened Ji Meng's reply.
The other party mentioned a powerful evil god with a formidable array.
It is said that the opponent's formation is powerful, and every formation may have counter-formation patterns.
Any damage or even research could be detected by it.
Then the topic of pulse diagnosis came up.
Once found, I can help Hime Meng take her pulse.
And pulse diagnosis is related to medical skill.
So Ji Meng asked him if he knew any medical skills.
Jiang Man felt that she was being forced to study medicine.
He couldn't cure the fate of a peerless genius by learning medicine; he could only learn it casually in his spare time.
Let's see if we can learn something that we can use later.
However, after leaving the Sanhe Sect this time, Jiang Man was wary of his surroundings.
Let's see if anyone shows up.
For example, the great evil god behind the altar, once the opponent appears, he will activate the evil god's magic and then call out the name of Tingfengyin.
I hope the other party is of a high enough level.
The worst thing is that there is still some distance between the building and the upper floors.
This is strong yet cannot attract the whispering of the wind.
However, this time they actually discovered the evil god that Ji Meng was looking for, so it can be considered a gain.
I just don't know why Himemu wanted to find such an evil god, or what's so special about him.
The other party didn't say, and he didn't ask.
Once we find the person, we can ask them.
"The note says that other sects are trying to take Qingcheng Sect from us. Isn't that troublesome?" Han Meixue asked.
Jiang Man thought for a moment and realized that it was easiest to win over the opponent when there was no competition.
Once there is competition, the cost will be many times greater.
The supply and demand relationship has changed.
"The Changqing Sect is probably well-prepared," Zhuo Qingcheng said.
"It all depends on what level of cultivation they're bringing," Han Meixue said.
They have a certain advantage if they are in the late stage of the Yuan Shen realm.
After all, they have two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators here.
However, if one's primordial spirit is perfected, then it becomes difficult.
"Let's go take a look first," Jiang Man said.
He Que didn't say a word the whole way.
Han Meixue asked him why he wasn't speaking, and he simply replied that he was only responsible for supervising and recording.
Han Meixue immediately said, "Then remember to record Senior Brother Jiang's report on a group of evil gods who were undercover, and how he used a scheme to get the sect to capture the evil gods."
"And it only took one day."
"And the handover was completed in just one month, putting the Sanhe Sect on the right track."
“That was brought after we asked for help,” He Que said seriously. “I will record who did it and who didn’t. After reading the records, it will be clear who did what and who didn’t.”
Zhuo Qingcheng looked at the other person and said, "Then senior brother must take notes on what you have been doing."
Jiang Man ignored their argument.
He didn't care about keeping records at all.
I've already made enough money from this trip.
The only pity is that they offended another great evil god.
Three days later.
They successfully entered the territory of the Qingcheng Sect.
This is much better than the Sanhe Sect.
The area around the entire mountain range is not desolate.
There are also many villages around the mountains.
They weren't rich, but at least they could make a living.
There must be something special involved, otherwise it wouldn't have recovered so well.
However, it cannot compare to the Lingyue Sect.
Jiang Man then entered the city.
The same method was used.
The guard's answer was quite ordinary.
Many people are now being told not to cause trouble and to keep things tidy.
But the general trend is that things are the same as usual, and they are the same now.
Furthermore, they said that a fairy had descended, and everyone was overjoyed.
It is said that this place will also receive the blessings of immortals in the future.
"It seems I haven't accomplished anything significant," Jiang Man said with a sigh.
"What do we do now?" Zhuo Qingcheng asked.
“The people from the Changqing Sect have arrived. We don’t need to investigate anything. Let’s go straight to the Qingcheng Sect,” Jiang Man said.
Soon, Jiang Man and the others arrived at the main hall of the Qingcheng Sect.
The leader was a middle-aged man, very burly.
They are pursuing a path of physical cultivation.
The level of cultivation is the perfection of the primordial spirit.
Its Qi and blood are vast and magnificent.
"Very strong," Jiang Man exclaimed.
There were three equally capable people beside him.
A middle-aged man carrying a sword, at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
A woman around forty years old, in the late stage of the Primordial Spirit realm.
A very fat man, in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Their overall strength is astonishing.
It's far superior to the Lingyue Sect.
If this were a battle for a sect in the past, would the other side have been able to defend it?
"Are you envoys also here to expand recruitment?" the middle-aged man in the lead asked.
The other party's attitude was indifferent and not particularly respectful.
“Yes, the Misty Cloud Sect is expanding its recruitment, and this area is within the scope of that expansion,” Zhuo Qingcheng said.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "We are already aware of this matter, and we will naturally cooperate with the arrangements made by the General Administration. We will also actively respond to the expanded recruitment."
"But there's a problem, namely that the Changqing Sect has also sent people."
"It's also for the purpose of expanding enrollment."
"Now that there are two major commodities, we don't know how to coordinate them."
"If possible, we would naturally prefer to follow the major companies that offer better compensation."
"What conditions did the Evergreen Sect offer you?" Zhuo Qingcheng asked.
"We dare not reveal this casually; we can only see what conditions the envoys have agreed to," the middle-aged man said.
He paused for a moment and then spoke again: "We have already arranged places for the envoys. They can go and rest first."
"We'll discuss expanding enrollment later."
"Our sect doesn't have any other ideas, we just want to find a good place to go."
"We will fully cooperate with everything else."
Jiang Man nodded and then went to the place they had arranged.
Watching the four leave, the woman in the main hall asked, "Two people from major sects came, but they didn't seem very strong."
"They naturally wouldn't even look at a small sect like us. They can just send some people over." The man with the sword on his back said with a smile, "The Changqing Sect even sent a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator."
Do you think these four people are available now?
"It's hard to believe." The burly middle-aged man at the head of the group shook his head slightly: "I noticed that the way they looked at me was different. These people seemed surprised and astonished."
"The Changqing Grand Clan did not have it."
"On the contrary, one person's eyes were filled with disdain."
"These people are probably not as good as the previous four."
"Then should we still side with the Evergreen Sect?" the fat man asked.
The man in the lead shook his head and said, "We're looking at their sincerity. If it were just one company, we wouldn't have a choice, but now that there are two, we have more options."
"Let's see where their bottom line is."
"As long as we don't cross this line, we should be able to gain more benefits."
"We should still be careful about the major battles," the fat man said.
They naturally understand these principles.
But it's still early.
The people who came weren't assertive or particularly strong.
They have more leeway.
“They are all very young. With our cooperation, even if they wanted to take action, they wouldn’t have an outlet.” The woman’s voice was soft.
They naturally wouldn't dare to go against the major powers.
However, it's still possible to benefit from it; these people are too young and more likely to give back good things.
-
Jiang Man and the others arrived at a mountain peak, where there were several courtyards.
Four people, one place each.
The location is excellent, and the accommodations are luxurious.
There was no neglect whatsoever, but it still made Han Meixue feel uncomfortable.
“I have this feeling that I can’t do anything about them,” she said.
Zhuo Qingcheng nodded and said, "They say they'll cooperate, but they're not cooperating at all. They're just leaving us hanging and making us figure out how to fight the Changqing Sect ourselves."
"Whoever wins will be on their side, and they'll get even more benefits from that."
He Que looked at Jiang Man and asked, "What are you planning to do this time, Senior Brother?"
Jiang Man returned to the courtyard and said, "Let's go negotiate first, then gather some information to see how strong this sect is overall, and how strong the Changqing Sect is."
"It should be easy to find out."
“We’ll take care of those,” Zhuo Qingcheng said.
He Que looked at Jiang Man and said, "Then, Senior Brother, shall we sit here and coordinate?"
Jiang Man looked at the other party and said, "What's the point of coordinating and directing such a trivial matter? You guys handle it yourselves."
Upon hearing this, He Que asked in surprise, "Then what is Senior Brother doing?"
"Me?" Jiang Man pointed to the open space in the courtyard and said, "I cultivate."
He Que remained silent for a long time before saying, "I will record them one by one."
Jiang Man nodded: "If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and get back to work."
Zhuo Qingcheng and the others naturally had no objections, and He Que hesitated for a moment before leaving with Zhuo Qingcheng.
He needs to keep records.
Jiang Man, however, had been cultivating and there was nothing worth recording.
After everyone left, he decided to cultivate.
No matter what mission he was assigned, he believed that strength was the most important thing.
The Qingcheng Sect is very strong overall.
A person with a perfected primordial spirit and a magnificent aura would likely be difficult for He Que to defeat without powerful spells. After all, the opponent probably also possesses such powerful spells.
In addition, there's the issue of their attitude.
Although they were polite, the lack of any emotional change indicated that they had encountered someone even stronger.
It's not necessarily something you can see; it's more likely reflected in your attitude.
If one's primordial spirit is perfected, the way one looks at others will be different.
This is a matter of confidence.
In short, they are at a disadvantage.
The most capable among them is actually He Que, but although he appears to be in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he can't actually unleash much power.
Under such circumstances, what else can one do besides cultivate?
As for what these people were up to, or what the Changqing Sect was thinking, it was meaningless to him.
Once a person becomes strong enough, it's time for the other side to consider the significance of their actions.
Now he needs to upgrade his physical body to the later stage, and then continue to accumulate enough cultivation and a third gourd for his physical body.
Even if you don't save up a third gourd, you still need to upgrade your major spells.
Thinking this, Jiang Man took out the Hundred Refinement Pill and ate it.
Three days later.
Ten pills are missing.
The flesh gourd has accumulated one-tenth of its weight.
Ten days later.
%.
That day they began new negotiations.
This increased the resources available to the Qingcheng Sect by 10%.
However, he was rejected; Changqing Sect offered even more.
Fifteen days later.
The gourds have accumulated to about 50%.
Zhuo Qingcheng confirmed the strength of the people from Changqing Sect.
A complete spiritual body.
Two late-stage Yuan Shen realm cultivators.
A primordial spirit in its early stages.
Their strength far surpasses theirs.
Moreover, the budget provided by Changqing Sect is quite substantial, making it impossible to determine the bottom line.
The Qingcheng Sect is also waiting for a good price to sell.
She decided to first contact the people of the Evergreen Sect.
Thirty days later.
Early April.
Jiang Man began to be promoted.
These days, Zhuo Qingcheng and her group have encountered setbacks at every turn.
The people from Changqing Sect were clearly not giving them any face and were determined to take over Qingcheng Sect.
The Qingcheng Sect clearly favors the Changqing Sect.
Thirty-four days later.
Jiang Man quietly opened the third gourd.
Late stage of physical advancement.
At that moment, he felt the torrent within his body rapidly dissipating and flowing through him, without the previous feeling of blockage.
The pain disappeared.
All discomfort disappeared.
But we can't use our full strength yet, since the spiritual level is too high.
That day, Zhuo Qingcheng came and told them about the results of their work.
Simply put, there were no results.
Ask Jiang Man if he wants to raise the price further.
If they fail to take down the Qingcheng Sect, their mission will not be considered a success.
He Que also asked Jiang Man to do something.
Furthermore, the Qingcheng Sect dared not delay, saying they would make a decision by May 1st, leaving them only twenty-odd days.
Jiang Man looked at them and said, "You can handle it yourselves. Don't feel pressured. There's still plenty of time."
He Que felt that Jiang Man, the person in charge, was completely irresponsible, so he continued to write down his notes.
Jiang Man then told them to leave.
After calculating the time, he finally took out the spell he had obtained last time.
Four large characters were written on it.
"The Great Sun Shines in the Sky".
The content of the magic is the sun and stars.
It is a technique that matches the Nine Stars series.
Attack type: spells.
Tantai Xue had explained this technique to him, and her explanation was extremely thorough.
The opponent's talent is indeed extraordinary.
Comparable to Mr. Ji.
Even Lao Huang had to give them a few words of praise.
Fang Yong only received one compliment from Lao Huang.
After that, Jiang Man began cultivating the Great Sun Shining Heaven.
A single layer can condense a giant sphere of light, three zhang in size, like the sun.
After the ninth floor, there will be nine such large suns.
So far, it's still within the scope of ordinary spells.
After the tenth level, the nine suns merge into one.
The weight and power will increase ninefold.
The eleventh floor will double in size again.
The twelfth floor expands further.
Thirteen layers, with both weight and size increasing.
The essence of great magic lies in the word "great".
At that time, the Great Sun was like a mountain peak, huge and heavy.
It was like a giant figure in the autumn wind.
This is why great spells can distinguish the primordial spirit.
It's incredibly powerful.
They're not even in the same league.
Not to mention that his Nine Star series is among the best.
Mr. Ji once said that if one adds matching spells to the primordial spirit in the later stages, the primordial spirit is almost invincible.
If someone with a perfected primordial spirit is not a genius of similar stature to him, he will be powerless to fight back.
Now it's just a matter of seeing how many levels one can reach in a month.
Because he had already understood it, he was able to master the basics in just one hour.
Get started in one go.
Half an hour later.
Another second layer.
Another half hour passed.
Two layers, three layers.
Four layers, four coats.
in the afternoon.
Eight times, five layers.
evening.
Sixteen times, six layers.
The next morning.
Thirty-two times, seven layers.
Day three.
Eight floors.
Day .
Nine floors.
Eighth day.
Ten floors.
Day 11.
Eleventh floor.
Day 18.
Twelve floors.
Day 25.
It's still twelve floors.
Today is the last day of April.
Jiang Man felt a little regretful that there wasn't enough time.
"Senior brother, the Qingcheng Sect will make a decision tomorrow," Zhuo Qingcheng said.
She paused for a moment, then added, "They rejected all the conditions we offered."
Jiang Man was silent for a moment, then said, "Tomorrow, go and tell the Qingcheng Sect Master that we want to accept them on the original terms, and ask him to consider it for a day."
"What if he doesn't consider it?" Zhuo Qingcheng asked.
"How good are the formations of the Changqing Sect?" Jiang Man asked.
"It shouldn't be very strong," Zhuo Qingcheng replied.
"Let's put this at their place," Jiang Man said, taking out his array furnace.
Zhuo Qingcheng didn't understand, but she still did as instructed.
The next day.
Zhuo Qingcheng relayed Jiang Man's words.
But the other party thought Zhuo Qingcheng was joking. Was she being pushed to the limit?
However, they still refused and decided to join the Evergreen Sect.
However, no one from the Changqing Sect appeared that day.
Jiang Man continued his cultivation, only two days away from achieving mastery.
Even with the added benefit of mastering the series, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to cultivate.
Not enough talents have been unlocked.
We must continue our search for ancient artifacts to unlock new talents.
