Claiming rewards by deception comes at a price.
Chapter 344 Claiming rewards by deception comes at a price.
Little Fatty did not answer Luo Xuan's question.
He was puzzled.
How could cowardice be related to Miss Luo?
Could it be that they're targeting him?
They stubbornly refuse to leave this place; they have no ambition and can only sell some medicinal herbs.
Luo Xuan didn't insist on getting an answer from the other party.
I just wanted to ask.
After that, she got busy.
Cheng Yu arrived that afternoon.
"Young Master Gao, did anything unpleasant happen today?" she asked with a smile.
After thinking about it for a moment, Little Fatty realized that being called out by Miss Luo today was indeed an unpleasant experience.
Then Cheng Yu saw Luo Xuan at the counter, which surprised her.
After saying goodbye to Little Fatty, I arrived at the counter: "Miss Luo, you think the same as me. You're too soft-hearted. You'll suffer a great loss if you marry the wrong person."
Luo Xuan shook her head slightly and said, "I may really not be suitable to be given high expectations. My second uncle said I should be able to enter the sect, but I failed in the end, which was something he didn't expect."
Cheng Yu said awkwardly, "Miss Luo had poor judgment back then. She went with a scheming woman like me, which is why she failed the exam."
Luo Xuan shook her head: "Actually, no, it's because two geniuses came from our little courtyard."
One is Jiang Man, and the other is Fang Yong.
None of them are simple.
That's just how fate sometimes is.
Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined.
Which road is good and which road is bad, who can really say for sure?
This time too.
Who can know what lies behind the choice?
After a pause, Cheng Yu asked curiously, "How did you ultimately make your choice? What were your considerations?"
Luo Xuan was silent for a moment and then said, "It is difficult for a person to understand the beauty of childhood when they are young, and it is difficult to know that it is beautiful when they experience it."
"Therefore, when people look back on their lives, they are filled with regrets."
Cheng Yu: "???"
-
the other side.
Luo Lu received a letter.
It was written to her by Luo Xuan.
"How foolish!" Looking at the contents of the envelope, Luo Lu felt that Luo Xuan was extremely foolish.
My second uncle will only take one person with him to train.
This person was pre-selected as Luo Xuan.
No one has any objections to this.
The reason the Luo family was able to live such a stable life for the first ten years or so was, frankly speaking, because Luo Xuan was going to marry the young master of the Gao family.
This is her sacrifice.
Therefore, it is only natural that they were taken away for training.
She is both young and has already achieved the Foundation Establishment stage, giving her absolute qualifications.
However, she refused.
This opportunity was given to Luo Lu.
Luo Lu felt only anger and regret.
On the envelope, Luo Xuan wrote that she did not know that fate would arrange things this way. Looking back on ten years ago, she felt that the decision she found difficult to make back then was not so bad. Not becoming a disciple of the sect did not seem so hopeless. On the contrary, her cousin Luo Lu had a difficult time after entering the outer sect, with a worried face and no control over her own destiny.
Perhaps the beauty we see is just an obsession and regret that we have not yet experienced.
But no one can easily give up such a great opportunity.
Therefore, she decided to give the choice to a spiritual source.
A positive decision is to go to Lingyue Sect; a negative one is to stay.
.
Luo Lu watched until the end, wondering if there were any negative developments.
However, the envelope ended with the words: I did not lose the Spirit Source, but I made a choice.
"Why?" Luo Lu still couldn't understand.
Why did Luo Xuan make this choice?
Is it because of Young Master Gao?
But she inquired and found out that there was no romantic relationship between them.
There wasn't even a hint of it.
Logically speaking, Luo Xuan had no reason to choose to stay.
But the fact is, Luo Xuan stayed.
"If I return to the inner sect after reaching the Core Formation stage, you'll see I regret it."
Luo Lu shook her head.

"So you've already completed the mission?" After the lecture, Ji Meng looked at Jiang Man with some surprise.
"So many things happened at Lingyue Sect. Although the rewards from the two missions weren't counted, the two missions themselves were included," Jiang Man said with a smile.
In this way, he fulfilled the condition of completing three missions in three years.
Now we're just waiting to score over 80 on the assessment.
In this way, they can compete for a place in the top three.
"Does Young Master Jiang think it's easy to compete for the top three?" Ji Meng asked.
“It won’t be easy to compete,” Jiang Man said truthfully. “There are four strong opponents in the top three. These people are all very strong, and they are all guided by Mr. Ji and Mr. Tantai.”
"We are stronger than before."
"The win rate is actually not high."
Upon hearing this, Qingdai spoke up, "Does the young master lack confidence?"
She felt that she could wait until her future son-in-law was still young, so there was no need to rush.
However, Jiang Man shook his head and explained, "What I'm best at is seizing extremely small probabilities."
Qingdai asked in confusion, "How do we catch it?"
With such a low probability, how can we possibly catch it?
Still, I'm good at it.
What special abilities does the son-in-law have?
Jiang Manping said calmly, "Such is his talent."
Qingdai felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
Have you said something similar before?
She stopped asking.
Just wait for the results.
Ji Meng didn't ask those questions, but instead inquired about Xiao Pang and Luo Xuan.
I'm curious about their final fate.
Jiang Man was unaware of this either; logically, there should have been a result in the near future.
He will go out for a while.
Let's see how it goes.
Afterwards, Jiang Man purchased fifteen Qi-Inducing Autumn Essence Pills from Ji Meng and then returned to break through to the next level.
Ten days later.
All the elixirs were used up.
The old yellow ox, which had been grazing in the yard, suddenly raised its eyebrows.
Jiang Man's power erupted, but then quickly and steadily subsided.
The tengu was affected by this force while weeding.
The dog was sent flying backwards.
Breakthrough in cultivation level.
The primordial spirit is perfected.
When the celestial dog got up, it found nothing around it except its master standing in front of Brother Ox, saying, "Little Yellow, look at me today and see how I am different from yesterday."
Tengu subconsciously thought about it for a moment and found that there was no difference.
Then it continued weeding.
It now misses its days in prison, and if it ever has the chance to go back, it's uncertain whether it will be able to leave.
Jiang Man didn't seem to care as he watched the old ox grazing with its head down.
Instead, he planned to make a trip to the Enforcement Hall.
I should still claim some of my rewards; I need to do that.
But just as they were about to leave, Ji Shoumo and the others arrived.
They said they were going out on a mission.
The three members of the Bai family also went out.
Ji An and the others were in the same situation, so the courtyard was relatively safe.
There won't be too much trouble within the sect, but you can't go out freely.
Unexpected events are likely to occur.
Jiang Man indicated that he understood.
Before they left, they left Jiang Man fifty Refined Pills.
It is used to enhance the physical body.
“We don’t have any more. You should focus on improving your physical body so that you can last longer even in dangerous situations,” Ji Chenfeng said.
Jiang Man asked curiously, "Does Miss Ji Meng have any?"
"You like her that much?" Ji Linglong asked curiously.
Even if you want a pill, you have to ask the other party if they have one.
Jiang Man was taken aback, and said truthfully, "I haven't thought about such a deep question, but if I had to say who I like, then I would definitely like Miss Ji Meng."
"No need to tell us, we don't pass on messages," Ji Linglong said disdainfully.
Ji Chenfeng nodded: "You can tell her to her face. If she dislikes you, then you can focus on your cultivation."
Ji Shoumo nodded: "That's good."
Then the three of them left.
Jiang Man asked in confusion, "Old Huang, what's wrong with them? They seem to disapprove of me and Miss Ji Meng being together." Old Huang lowered his head and ate grass, showing no reaction.
However, these three are the real big spenders, so whatever they say goes.
After putting away the pills, Jiang Man headed to the Hall of Law Enforcement.
In the end, he received a spellbook, a letter, and a token.
The token was made of half copper and half iron by the Zhenyue Division.
If you were to work in the Zhenyue Division of the Wuyun Sect, you would be a team leader.
It can manage five people.
Even if they don't hold a position, they still have certain authority.
For example, you can receive 1,000 spirit resources each month.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man immediately thought of his jade token.
Can I receive spiritual energy from this?
If possible, how many spiritual resources have I missed?
Furthermore, will the information be exposed when you receive it?
After all, his cultivation level wasn't high enough to shake off some of his followers.
We can't even try.
The envelope is the Foundation Establishment Secret Realm.
It is used to obtain the method of forming the elixir.
This surprised Jiang Man. What use was this?
Even Chang Qiwen had not reached the stage of Core Formation.
What he needs is a Qi Refining Secret Realm.
"Both are available," the person from the Enforcement Hall replied. "This qualification can be used until the Core Formation stage. It's specifically for training people with great achievements like Junior Brother, just like the shop."
The more involved you are, the less likely you are to do something extreme.
With no ties to their name and immense power, they are the most dangerous.
As for the spell, it was actually the Wind Concealing Technique.
It is also for the purpose of cultivating people.
But why not sword control technique?
"As the number of flying swords increases, the price of sword control techniques has begun to decrease, mainly to popularize flying swords. Correspondingly, the price of wind-gathering techniques has increased because it is necessary to differentiate the physical sensations of sword users," the person from the Enforcement Hall explained once again.
Jiang Man understood; it was about the difference between the rich and the poor.
It wasn't like this ten years ago.
In just ten years, production capacity has increased.
However, after looking at it, he realized that he still couldn't afford it back then.
It feels very cheap now, any pill will do.
Jiang Man then visited the sesame seed cake shop again.
He came cautiously this time, making sure the Bai family patriarch was not there before he arrived.
Going back to one's own shop feels like being a thief.
As soon as he arrived, he saw a woman say to Song Qing, "Senior Brother Song, the cultivation method you mentioned last time is indeed useful. It's a waste of your talent to be making pancakes here."
Jiang Man looked at this scene with suspicion; the person had changed again.
He used to think that Song Qing was deceived by the Chang family's younger sister, but now he realizes that it's not certain who is being deceived.
Why are there women surrounding me everywhere?
Is the influence of evil gods really that great?
Sooner or later, the evil god behind him must be eliminated.
After everyone left, Song Qing noticed Jiang Man approaching.
"Senior Brother Song?" Jiang Man asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Song Qing's face flushed red, and he said, "Young Master Jiang, they're just talking nonsense. Besides, they came for the spirit pets, it has nothing to do with me."
As he spoke, Song Qing pointed to the snow-white fox at the entrance of the shop.
Jiang Man then realized that one of the spirit eggs was missing.
He hadn't noticed it at all when facing the Bai family patriarch.
Looking at it now, this white fox is of good quality.
Especially that lazy gaze, giving him a disdainful look.
This fox is acting strangely, and it doesn't know how to keep its gaze hidden at all.
How much do they look down on people from the past?
Does it know who the white-clad man who came last time was?
Ignoring the fox, Jiang Man asked Little Fatty and the others.
The answer was that nothing had changed.
However, the Luo family did come to the sect, but they left not long afterward.
"Didn't you take anyone with you when you left?" Jiang Man asked.
"It seems they took Miss Luo's cousin, Luo Lu, with them," Song Qing said uncertainly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man nodded, so it seemed that Luo Xuan had not left.
Ask Little Fatty what happened.
Afterwards, Song Qing called Xiao Pang and Chang Qiwen over.
"Brother Jiang, you were looking for me?" Little Fatty asked with a smile.
Seeing this, Jiang Man exclaimed, "You're very happy?"
"Huh?" Little Fatty was a little confused: "Shouldn't I be happy to see Brother Jiang?"
"Is that why you're happy?" Jiang Man asked.
"Then what is there to be happy about?" Little Fatty asked, puzzled.
"Isn't it because Luo Xuan is unhappy that she's not leaving?" Jiang Man asked, puzzled.
Little Fatty was still puzzled. Was Luo Xuan leaving?
When did this happen?
Jiang Man gave a brief account of what had happened.
Then Little Fatty belatedly realized: "No wonder Miss Luo suddenly asked me that day if I were to leave or not, I would have said it was a great opportunity."
Song Qing sighed, "Then why isn't Miss Luo leaving? Is it because of the young master?"
Little Fatty looked at the other person and asked curiously, "Song Qing, do you believe it?"
Song Qing fell silent.
Jiang Man also fell silent.
Yes, what are they after?
Is the picture of Little Chubby the one with dark circles under his eyes?
Luo Xuan comes from a wealthy family, is highly talented, and is good-looking.
Little Fatty was a bit lacking.
Chang Qiwen arrived late, and he was still as tired as ever.
Little Fatty asked curiously, "Old Chang, didn't your sister pass the exam?"
Jiang Man was quite moved. The youngest sister of the Chang family had reached the Foundation Establishment stage?
Song Qing was actually still at the Qi Refining stage.
Jiang Man patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "This is for you."
Song Qing was puzzled.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the envelope.
When he opened it, it wasn't quite what he expected.
"What qualifications do you have?" he asked.
"The Foundation Establishment Realm qualification, used for Core Formation," Jiang Man replied casually.
Song Qing was taken aback: "But I haven't established my foundation yet."
“There are qualifications for the Qi Refining Secret Realm inside,” Jiang Man said seriously.
In this way, Song Qing's large sum of spiritual resources was settled.
The one who owes the most is Song Qing.
Song Qing was taken aback, but he quickly came to his senses: "But I may not be able to achieve the Foundation Establishment stage either."
It's not that you can form a core just by obtaining the qualification; you have to cultivate to that level and then comprehend the method of forming a core.
Giving it to him would be a bit of a waste.
How could he not know what kind of talent he has?
Jiang Man didn't care; it was just for settling accounts anyway.
Afterwards, Jiang Man sold the Wind Concealing Technique to Chang Qiwen.
It is not used to settle accounts.
You can buy this if you have spiritual energy, but you're not qualified to use it.
Then it was time to preach to them.
Jiang Man asked Little Fatty to call everyone over so he could explain the methods of Qi Refining and Foundation Building to them.
Perfect timing, letting him understand the realm below.
After that, Luo Xuan, Cheng Yu, Tang Feng and others were called over.
Jiang Man attempted to extract some essence from Mr. Ji and Mr. Tantai, and integrate it into Qi Refining and Foundation Building, thereby extracting a more ingenious and direct cultivation method.

Outside Lingyue Sect.
The two who had initially escaped have now almost fully recovered from their injuries.
The short woman spoke up: "I heard that the person who received the reward was a man named Jiang Man."
"The one who killed us back then?" the white-haired man asked.
The short woman shook her head and said, "He should only have the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage. He is fraudulently claiming the title. I have investigated him thoroughly and can basically confirm that he is fraudulently claiming the title."
Should we attack him?
The white-haired man looked at the message he received and said coldly, "There will be consequences for fraudulent claims. Find out his itinerary."
Make him understand that some people's rewards cannot be accepted casually.
Furthermore, they must be captured alive.
The other party was so audacious that the Enforcement Hall returned the spiritual source.
There's some background information to explain.
They don't care even if the other party has a powerful background.
The most troublesome part of this mission is figuring out the other party's whereabouts.
As long as it can be confirmed that the other party has left the Misty Cloud Sect.
Then everything becomes easier.
No matter how talented the opponent is, they are fearless.
If you can't defeat a mysterious person, surely you can defeat a primordial spirit?
