Even heroes have a weakness for beautiful won?
Jiang Man was a little surprised to hear this.
"Yes. A lot of people will have their eyes on you. They all want you on their side. No one here dares to use force, but there are plenty of softer thods," Zhuo Bufan kindly reminded him.
Jiang Man thought for a mont before asking, "Will the prices of goods go up, then?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Bufan froze.
’Shouldn’t you be asking what the great beauties will do to make their move?’
’Why is he asking about the prices of goods?’
’What does he even an by "prices"?’
Jiang Man specified that he ant Elixirs and the like.
After all, those were the things he lacked.
And Zhuo Bufan’s answer was simple: they wouldn’t.
Prices only fluctuated easily in small places. The Sect had no shortage of things like Elixirs.
There were many who pursued such things as a Minor, so unless sothing happened that affected the entire Sect...
...the price of Elixirs used for Cultivation was the most stable.
This represented the stability of the Sect’s foundation.
If prices did fluctuate, it either ant inflation or that sothing major was about to happen.
Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief.
’Then it’s no big deal.’
"Aren’t you worried about the stunning won?" Zhuo Bufan couldn’t help but ask.
Jiang Man looked at him and said truthfully, "re powder and paint. Compared to my wife, they wouldn’t even dare to lift their heads."
Hearing this, Zhuo Bufan was relieved.
But just as he nodded, he froze. "Your wife?"
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Man looked at him and stated the fact, "I’m already married."
Zhuo Bufan was stunned.
He was even more shocked than when Jiang Man had dragged them over to challenge everyone by himself.
’Jiang Man actually has a wife?’
’Who is she?’
"You’re not this strong just because you have a wife, are you?" Zhuo Bufan asked.
There were many poor people with good Talent, but they usually lacked resources and a deep foundation.
They lacked too many things. A deep foundation couldn’t be explained away by just having Spiritual Source.
Guidance on Magic Skills, understanding of Cultivation Skills, and proper Cultivation thods could help one avoid many detours.
No matter how much of a genius Jiang Man was, he would still need these things. So, where did he get them?
’Now, it seems it must have been his wife.’
Jiang Man was silent for a mont. Just as he was about to explain, Zhuo Bufan cut him off.
"I know so things are hard to talk about and inconvenient to ntion. You don’t have to say anything," Zhuo Bufan said imdiately. "I just ca over to remind you about this. It’s about ti, I have to get back to my Cultivation."
With that, Zhuo Bufan left.
Jiang Man looked at the Old Yellow Ox. "Old Huang, did he misunderstand sothing?"
"Did he?" the Old Yellow Ox replied casually.
"I feel like all my hard work is being credited to soone else," Jiang Man said with so emotion. "ng Qiewei didn’t even do anything."
"She brought you back to your senses. You call that ’nothing’?" the Old Yellow Ox muttered.
Jiang Man shook his head. The day after tomorrow was the first of September.
Chang Qiweng and the others should be arriving.
This ti, he was truly out of Spiritual Source.
Fortunately, on the first of the month, he could go collect his resources.
All told, it would still be ten thousand.
He still had enough Spiritual Source to pay the interest. The last loan was for a year, with interest paid every six months.
It was manageable.
The plan now was to find a way to advance to Foundation Establishnt Perfection. Then, upon entering the Seventh Courtyard, he would imdiately find a way to challenge the First, Second, and Third Courtyards.
He would obtain the Secret Skill he wanted, then figure out how to beco a Golden Core Ancestor.
’An Ancestor at twenty-three or twenty-four years old.’
But before he could even begin his Cultivation, Jiang Man saw a woman in a black robe arrive in front of his courtyard.
She scanned her surroundings warily, only sighing in relief after confirming no one was there.
When she lowered her hood, Jiang Man realized it was Senior Sister Yu.
"Senior Sister, what’s with the...?" Jiang Man gestured at her black robe.
"It’s nothing. It’s all thanks to you," Yu Wanyi said, shaking her head and sighing. "It’s just that I’m too weak to enjoy such blessings."
Jiang Man was silent.
’I don’t get it.’
"This is for you. It’s a Training Secret Realm I requested from my master. It’s not for geniuses, but for those in the Foundation Establishnt Back Courtyard and the equivalent in the Inner Sect."
"It’s a good thing I applied for it in advance. Otherwise, once your ranking was announced, I wouldn’t have been able to," Yu Wanyi said quickly. "This Secret Realm will be good for your actual combat skills. It’ll allow you to gain enough experience, and most importantly, let you feel your body’s power through combat, which will be a great help for rging your powers later on."
"After all, it won’t be long before you obtain the complete set of Top-grade Skills."
"You can’t compare your refinent ti with those from the First, Second, and Third Courtyards."
"Also, this Secret Realm doesn’t have any Cultivation Skill resources, only Spiritual Source."
"The Secret Realm will open at noon on September first."
Yu Wanyi then inford him that he would be the team leader this ti, a position of great responsibility.
Furthermore, while there would be almost no top-ranked geniuses like him among those entering, every single person was battle-hardened and had polished their own power.
He had to be extrely careful.
Then, Senior Sister Yu quickly left.
Jiang Man didn’t even have ti to ask for an advance, nor could he ask the questions he had in mind.
"In such a hurry?"
Jiang Man was perplexed.
But she was gone, and that was that.
He held the Iron Token, feeling strange. "What is this thing? A Training Secret Realm? And geniuses aren’t allowed to go?"
Jiang Man asked the Old Yellow Ox.
The answer he got was simple. Under the great peace established by the Immortal Sect, so dangerous places were cleansed, while others were sealed and guarded.
"This stability, achieved under the great peace, naturally cos at a price."
"So-called ’training’ mostly takes place in these kinds of locations."
Jiang Man was quite curious. "Is it very dangerous?"
"Not dangerous, but it’s easy to find Evil Demons and Outsiders there," the Old Yellow Ox replied.
Jiang Man was surprised. "Old Huang, are you also from one of these places?"
The Old Yellow Ox was silent for a mont before finally shaking its head.
After that, Jiang Man asked more about the situation in these places.
The answer he received was simple.
With the great peace of the Immortal Sect, they wouldn’t send him directly to his death.
But there was still a certain degree of danger.
After getting a general understanding, Jiang Man asked another question: "Is there anything special there?"
The Old Yellow Ox didn’t answer. The reason was simple: it had no idea where Jiang Man was going.
