Seeing this, Fang Yong’s brow furrowed.
"Young Master Fang, you don’t know very well. According to Luo Xuan, I’m quite the scher," Cheng Yu said honestly. After a pause, she continued, "Right now, I’m completely dependent on Young Master Fang’s support, so naturally, I have to do things to get on your good side."
Fang Yong looked at the person before him and said, "You can report your travel expenses for reimbursent."
Then he added, "You need to spend ti improving your Cultivation."
Cheng Yu was about to reach the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, but "about to" still ant she was only at the Seventh Layer.
Cheng Yu nodded in response, then told him about Jiang Man. "He might be looking to borrow Spiritual Source from you, Young Master Fang."
After a pause, she asked curiously, "Jiang Man said he didn’t participate in the annual assessnt. Do you know why, Young Master Fang?"
"He probably has better ways to earn resources," Fang Yong replied casually.
Cheng Yu couldn’t be sure either, so she left to go make preparations.
But not long after Cheng Yu left, Jiang Man ca looking for him.
Seeing that Fang Yong also lived in a small courtyard, he was a little surprised. "Young Master Fang, you’re this wealthy?"
Jiang Man knew exactly how expensive these small courtyards were.
He only got one to raise his ox; otherwise, he could have done without it.
"A little over a thousand a month," Fang Yong replied.
Jiang Man was stunned.
’A little over a thousand?’
His, even with a thirty percent discount, cost twenty-one hundred.
’What’s with this poor guy? How could he rent a courtyard so cheaply?’
’We’re all poor, so why are my living expenses so high?’
"I kowtowed and played the victim card to get it," Fang Yong said, cutting off whatever Jiang Man was about to say next.
After that, Jiang Man asked Fang Yong if he wanted to invest in an Unparalleled Celestial Pride.
Fang Yong was already prepared. He asked, "Do you plan to participate in the annual assessnt next year?"
"In theory, yes," Jiang Man nodded.
"I can lend you the Spiritual Source, and I’ll even take a lower interest rate." Fang Yong looked at Jiang Man seriously. "If I can get into the annual rankings, you need to bring onto your team for Cloud Mist Peak."
"No problem," Jiang Man agreed without hesitation.
’It’s all the sa who I team up with.’
’What’s wrong with getting a lower interest rate in exchange?’
In the end, Fang Yong gave Jiang Man ten thousand.
He would have to pay back eleven thousand in a year.
The interest was the lowest of all his lenders.
Afterwards, Fang Yong asked Jiang Man what he was trying to obtain.
Jiang Man’s answer was simple: ideally, a Top-grade Observation thod or a Top-grade Body Refining Technique.
If not, he would have to settle for a Middle Grade one.
Fang Yong was shocked. This ant that Jiang Man had already obtained the Top-grade Yuan Condensation Technique this ti.
After that, Jiang Man bid farewell to Fang Yong and prepared to return to his Cultivation.
He had set out with fifty thousand Spiritual Source.
He returned with forty thousand remaining.
He hadn’t gained much.
However, as soon as he was back, the Old Yellow Ox told him he could now learn the Nascent Condensation Skill.
Hearing this, Jiang Man no longer hesitated.
Instead, he began to listen to Old Huang’s explanation.
Jiang Man’s brow was tightly furrowed as he listened.
’Complicated. It’s too complicated.’
Even with the Old Yellow Ox’s explanation, Jiang Man found it incredibly complex.
He occasionally had to consult ancient texts, or he wouldn’t be able to understand at all.
’So this is a top-grade skill for Foundation Establishnt.’
Even if this were dropped in Luoyun City, it was likely no one there could cultivate it.
Not only were the concepts involved nurous, but the resonance required for Cultivation was even more intricate.
The Eight Extraordinary ridians... sotis Three ridians needed to vibrate, other tis one had to guide Spiritual Qi to induce the Void Vein to achieve resonance.
He had to adjust the Nascent Condensation Skill’s resonance according to the changes in his body’s breathing.
The human body is inherently complex, and a Cultivation thod is about using that complex body to find the most suitable path.
Furthermore, the pace and duration could not have the slightest error.
The Cultivation process required a huge amount of Heart Spirit.
Even if so people understood the Cultivation, if their Spiritual Level was insufficient, they would soon suffer from cultivation deviation and descend into madness.
"This Cultivation Skill has a threshold. You must reach the Spiritual Fourth Layer of Foundation Establishnt to cultivate it. I simply bypassed the threshold when teaching you, but you need to face your current situation head-on," the Old Yellow Ox reminded him.
Jiang Man nodded.
Coincidentally, he was able to cultivate it.
"Also, you need to prepare to learn the Five Elents Technique, otherwise you won’t be able to leave an imprint on the Five Elents Stone," the Old Yellow Ox said.
Jiang Man recalled the condition for the Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart.
It was to leave a handprint on the Five Elents Stone.
"Where can I learn the Five Elents Technique?" Jiang Man asked.
The Old Yellow Ox stared at Jiang Man without a word.
Jiang Man paused, then understood. He had to figure it out himself.
’This is going to be a pain.’
After a mont of thought, he asked again, "What grade is the Five Elents Technique as a Magic Skill?"
The Old Yellow Ox just smiled, saying nothing.
Jiang Man shook his head. "Old Huang, speaking in riddles can lead to trouble."
The Old Yellow Ox paid him no mind and just lowered its head to eat grass.
Jiang Man noticed there was more grass in the courtyard, and it was no longer just weeds.
’Where did Old Huang steal it from?’
Asking didn’t get him an answer.
But since he could now cultivate the Top-grade Yuan Condensation Technique, he naturally gave up on the Celestial Heart Seal.
First, he would begin Reincarnation to improve the quality and density of his Spiritual Qi.
This would directly affect his Hidden Spirit score.
In the next assessnt, he could let the Student Cultivators of the small courtyards experience what true dazzling brilliance was.
But the Top-grade Yuan Condensation Technique was truly difficult to cultivate.
He had listened to the explanation for two days, and spent another whole day practicing, pondering, and attempting it, but still hadn’t reached the Entry Level.
「Early morning.」
Yu Wanyi sat in her courtyard, her mind heavy with worry.
Especially after hearing so rumors from outside.
Soone at the investnt office was mocking her, saying her dark horse had gone la.
A flash in the pan.
Others sneered that this was the price of burning through one’s potential.
Soone else said they’d heard Jiang Man seed to be staying up all night cultivating.
’Ignorant and reckless. Of course he is.’
All sorts of criticisms spread, one after another.
Her dark horse was now as pathetic as he had once been glorious.
These people certainly wouldn’t go after Jiang Man; they were all attacking her, the investor.
After all, they were the ones in the sa circle.
The Foundation Establishnt Courtyard was its own world; they wouldn’t go over there just to stir up trouble.
Of course, she could have ignored all this and just waited until next year.
But...
...the circle involved with the Secret Realm selection was in an uproar, saying they wanted to find Number 210 and see exactly who he was and what his background was.
In short, Number 210 had offended too many people, and those people had investors behind them too.
’If he’s discovered, it’ll be dangerous for , his investor, to even go outside.’
Fortunately, they would never dream that Number 210 was from the Ninth Courtyard.
But she was on edge every day, terrified that he would be discovered and they would co looking for trouble with her.
There was a hierarchy among investors, and unfortunately, she wasn’t on the stronger side.
"Why have you been sighing so much these past few days?" Xia Jin walked over and asked curiously.
Yu Wanyi forced a smile. "Just feeling lancholic and helpless."
"Did your investnt get eliminated?" Xia Jin asked.
Yu Wanyi shook her head slightly. "He probably wasn’t eliminated, but he’s a bit... uncontrollable."
"Is he not good at being a kept man?" Xia Jin asked.
Yu Wanyi thought for a mont. "I’d say he’s quite good at it, actually. His cultivation partner is just a bit too forceful."
Xia Jin grew even more confused.
Yu Wanyi didn’t elaborate, instead asking about the situation outside.
"Of course, there are plenty of people mocking you, just waiting for you to go to the small mountain peak," Xia Jin said with a laugh. "Especially that Senior Brother Jin who likes to carry a sword. He lost face because of you last ti, and now he hopes you’ll show up every day."
"In his dreams. I’m not going," Yu Wanyi said firmly.
"Then there’s the assessnt. I heard that so people, both openly and secretly, are hoping that soone who saw Number 210 can analyze which courtyard’s Student Cultivator he is. They’ve even posted a high-priced bounty," Xia Jin said.
Hearing this, Yu Wanyi asked, "Are they going to make a move on him?"
"They’re all Student Cultivators from the sa sect, so they can’t act recklessly. But if he has an investor, that investor is probably in more danger. After all, investors are usually from the Inner Sect, and there’s no problem with ambushing an Inner Sect mber and giving them a beating." Xia Jin asked curiously, "Did the person you invested in run into Number 210?"
"No," Yu Wanyi shook her head.
’How could he have?’
’He *is* Number 210.’
She truly never imagined it would end up like this.
「A quaint courtyard.」
ng Qiewei stared at the clear tea, silent.
A mont later, she casually poured it out and refilled her cup with plain water.
Only then did she begin to drink.
"A small part of the Secret Realm has opened, but there has been no reaction from any Magic Skill."
ng Qiewei sighed. "Is he really not in the Wuyun Sect, or did he see through my thods from the very beginning?"
Setting down her cup, she wasn’t in a hurry. "Once the Secret Realm opens completely, I’ll be able to confirm it.
"As long as he goes in, I will definitely find him.
"If he really exists, then that junior from my clan probably knows sothing."
Just then, Qing Dai ca in from outside. Seeing the Spiritual Qi overflowing on the ground, she said, "Miss, that tea was very expensive."
