The book then stopped on the final page.
[An abandoned Demon-Revealing Mirror. Caught in the wake of the Four Extres Demon Suppression Stone, it was unable to escape and was left behind. With the right thod, it can reveal the twelve extra demons in this mountain range. Not worthy of being recorded.]
Jiang Man was surprised. He hadn’t expected this to be a Demon-Revealing Mirror.
And there were actually twelve extra demons in this area.
So, what was the "right thod"?
Jiang Man fell silent.
’It always gives half the story and never elaborates.’
’Besides, does the Sect even know twelve demons have appeared here?’
’And does the stone in my hand count as one of them?’
Jiang Man didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he asked Su Qinya, "Senior Sister, do you know how to contact the Sect?"
She shook her head.
So, Jiang Man told her to go comprehend from the cauldron.
He also told her to ask the baldy if he could contact the Sect.
Su Qinya left.
She felt like she had been used and then cast aside.
There wasn’t a trace of emotion in his eyes. In other words, he hadn’t even truly seen her.
’No wonder they want to get close to him and win him over.’
’This is going to be a long battle.’
’But I can’t think of any approach that would work on him.’
’Even Wei Chuyao had turned and left. Who could possibly mock soone like him?’
’Mockery from soone weaker is just laughable jealousy.’
’He wouldn’t pay it any mind.’
’As for soone stronger...’
’I can’t get soone like that to help.’
’Sigh!’
She let out a heavy sigh, feeling a sense of defeat.
His gaze, in particular, made her begin to question her own beauty and charisma.
Finally, she returned to the cauldron.
The three n were right there, inside the cauldron.
They were cultivating the Simple Skill while discussing it.
The baldy said, "I have to admit, it really does feel a lot smoother."
The sturdy man said calmly, "It’s probably just a placebo effect."
"You two senior brothers don’t understand the legend of Young Master Jiang," Gao Rong said. "If he says it works, it definitely works."
Hearing this, the baldy asked curiously, "How did you manage to get on Jiang Tianjiao’s team?"
Gao Rong paused for a mont before answering truthfully, "My younger brother is good friends with Young Master Jiang. I have him to thank for this."
"So it’s all about connections, huh?" the baldy said with a laugh. "But you’ve got so nerve, I’ll give you that. Trusting him so completely... most people would’ve started having doubts by now."
Just then, the three of them saw Su Qinya return, their curiosity piqued.
’Where’s Jiang Man?’
Su Qinya answered truthfully.
Then, she relayed Jiang Man’s ssage.
"Contact the Sect?" The baldy mulled it over. "There is a way, but we’ll need two days to finish our comprehension here."
But as he continued his Cultivation, the baldy’s brow slowly furrowed.
He saw a figure.
"Did you guys see that?" he asked imdiately.
The sturdy man asked, confused, "See the cracks in the cauldron?"
"A figure is demonstrating so kind of skill before my eyes," the baldy said.
The others were all a little surprised.
Then, the baldy’s posture began to shift, and he beca completely engrossed in the experience.
It was as if soone were guiding him in his Cultivation.
The sturdy man was stunned. "You can really comprehend sothing from it?"
Gao Rong and Su Qinya were both astonished.
Without further hesitation, they all began to cultivate the Simple Skill.
---
Jiang Man had already begun his Cultivation.
With the bonus from his new Talent, Jiang Man reached the Entry Level of the Seven-Star Body Refining Technique after practicing it only once.
Previously, it had taken at least two run-throughs to reach the Entry Level.
Now, one was enough.
His speed was back to what it was during his Qi Refining Stage.
Especially since he could now directly temper his Physical Body, he could focus entirely on his Cultivation.
He had far more ti to train now than when he was cultivating Magic Skills.
Thus, Jiang Man didn’t hesitate and continued his Cultivation.
After two run-throughs.
Second Layer of the Body Refining Skill.
After four run-throughs.
Third Layer.
After eight run-throughs.
Fourth Layer.
After thirty-two run-throughs.
Sixth Layer.
Day broke.
In a single night, he had already reached the Sixth Layer.
He had maxed out everything else, and his Talent had unlocked further.
His speed was unprecedented.
However, out of curiosity, Jiang Man touched the Demon-Revealing Mirror again.
[An abandoned Demon-Revealing Mirror... With the right thod, it can reveal the sixteen extra demons in this mountain range. Not worthy of being recorded.]
’It really can keep a real-ti count of the Demon Race.’
’Four more have appeared. It seems they’re popping up constantly. I wonder if anyone knows about this.’
Jiang Man wasn’t sure if they were appearing on their own or if the Sect was intentionally releasing them.
He wasn’t in a hurry. He continued to improve his Cultivation Skill.
「In the afternoon.」
Seventh Layer of the Seven-Star Body Refining Technique.
「Early the next morning.」
Eighth Layer of the Seven-Star Body Refining Technique.
「On the third day.」
Ninth Layer of the Seven-Star Body Refining Technique.
Jiang Man touched the Demon-Revealing Mirror again.
This ti, the number of demons had reached twenty-three.
Jiang Man continued his Cultivation.
「On the fifth day.」
Ninth Layer of the Body Refining Skill.
The number of demons was up to thirty-two.
「On the seventh day.」
Tenth Layer of the Body Refining Skill.
Forty demons.
「On the tenth day.」
Eleventh Layer of the Body Refining Skill.
Unexpectedly, the number of demons had decreased.
Thirty-six.
This surprised Jiang Man. ’Were they discovered, or did they leave the area?’
Jiang Man couldn’t be sure.
But he could only continue his Cultivation.
He was about to reach Great Success. This assessnt could last for up to two months.
Normally, it would last almost a month.
So there was still ti.
Still, he had to keep an eye on the demons’ movents.
「On the fifteenth day.」
Twelfth Layer of the Body Refining Skill.
This ti, the number of demons surged, reaching seventy-nine.
Jiang Man’s brows furrowed.
’I’m not sure if the Sect is behind this, but I can’t wait any longer. I have to report it.’
’Even if this is one of the Sect’s tests, there should be a reward for reporting it early, right?’
’And if it’s not, it’s best to let them know what’s happening here.’
’If they can be dealt with, the competition might be extended, buying more ti.’
’If they can’t be handled, the competition will have to be suspended, which would also buy ti.’
Afterward, Jiang Man went to find the baldy and the others.
They were still absorbed in their own Cultivation.
All four of them seed to have comprehended sothing from the cauldron.
They weren’t surprised to see Jiang Man. They had looked for him earlier, but seeing that he was cultivating his Body Refining Skill, they had left him alone.
