The other party's words were very calm, without much added emotion.
It seed like they were simply stating a fact.
Simply put, the Li Family's offer was the worst, but had the most promising future, and no one else could compare to it.
Jiang Man didn't know why the other party had reached this conclusion.
But he was surprised that soone from the Li Family had co specifically to see him.
They clearly valued him the least, so why co in person?
The other two families hadn't co at all.
As for agreeing, Jiang Man had never considered that possibility.
As he said before, what qualifications did the Li Family have?
"Sects are huge whirlpools, and what you need to consider is whether you can establish yourself if you enter one," the middle-aged man said, looking at Jiang Man. "Perhaps no one has ever told you this, but you need to understand that entering a sect isn't the end—it's the beginning, and the most difficult beginning at that."
"The other families have extrely shallow foundations within the sects."
"Only the Li Family can help you establish yourself quickly and receive cultivation resources ahead of others."
"That way, you'll have a chance to strive for advancent."
Jiang Man thought for a mont, then asked, "What if I don't enter a sect?"
"We don't consider waste material," the middle-aged man stated.
After a pause, he continued, "The conditions we offer aren't bad, you should think about it carefully."
"Once the results of the second competition co out, you might not get conditions like these anymore."
"You need to understand that everyone is progressing rapidly, constantly moving forward."
"Although you work hard and don't sleep, your current pace isn't enough."
"Five thousand per month is enough for you to keep up with them."
"Of course, other families can afford this price too, but after entering the sect, you'll plumt."
"Five thousand is just enough for a genius to barely enter a sect."
"That's why our offer is sufficient."
"Can't you add another five thousand?" Jiang Man tried asking.
The other party looked at Jiang Man, remaining silent.
Finally, Jiang Man said he needed more ti to consider.
The other party didn't linger either, but took his leave.
Watching the man leave, Jiang Man shook his head.
He didn't even ntion his na—these big families really have no manners.
After that, Jiang Man returned.
He didn't take the matter to heart.
As for having a hard ti after entering a sect?
Wasn't that simple?
Just enter the sect as the Cloud Front Division's top perforr, right?
He had never considered entering with the lowest ranking. How could he access treasures without entering with the highest results?
How could he obtain more resources?
Although the Peerless Prodigy Fate was always one step behind him, fate didn't play by the rules—it didn't test talent, but tested background and financial resources.
Returning to the stable, Jiang Man continued cultivating.
One hundred fifty tis every day.
He had no choice but to cultivate.
Currently, his main focus was cultivating blood energy and cultivation base.
The seventh Qi Refinent "gourd" was only twenty percent full, while the fourth blood energy "gourd" was already almost half full.
He wasn't far from the fifth level of physical body cultivation.
However, after returning today, Jiang Man still asked about thods to guide Little Fatty.
He naturally couldn't do it himself, but the Old Yellow Ox was an Evil God with extensive experience.
It should have so thods.
"After the Four Major Immortal Sects unified and revised the cultivation thods, they no longer valued talent. Although there are still geniuses, with proper thods, others can cultivate quite quickly too," the Old Yellow Ox chewed on the weeds in its mouth, continuing only after a while. "So no matter how fast Qi Refinent cultivation progresses, it's within a reasonable range. That's why there are no earth-shattering geniuses in Qi Refinent."
After a pause, the Old Yellow Ox raised its eyebrows and looked at Jiang Man, saying, "But you are indeed sowhat different."
"How am I different?" Jiang Man asked curiously.
"Poor," the Old Yellow Ox stated flatly.
Jiang Man: "..."
The Old Yellow Ox continued, "I even helped you get a wife, but unfortunately, she disappeared before you could consummate the marriage."
Jiang Man looked at the Old Yellow Ox, feeling that it was mocking him.
After that, the Old Yellow Ox conveniently provided cultivation thods.
Jiang Man recorded them with a pen, writing for most of the night.
Things like daily cultivation ti, frequency, resource supply quantities, etc.
Everything was arranged.
However, the schedule was quite intensive.
As the saying goes, how can soone so young sleep?
The Old Yellow Ox's answer was simple too: if you don't sleep, how can they sleep?
After that, Jiang Man divided what he had recorded into three parts.
This was basically arranged specifically for Little Fatty's Qi Refinent period.
It probably wouldn't be very effective for others.
But it would definitely make him stronger.
Because...
He wouldn't be sleeping anymore.
The ti after that was spent on cultivation.
The Sixth Courtyard also taught so other things: identifying spirit herbs, analyzing demon beast bones, planting thods, etc.
If one had so talent, they could choose to seek new paths.
If one had nothing.
Then they had to see if they could find a way to stay in Lucky Cloud City.
Becoming a guard was most people's choice.
If one couldn't even do that, then they could only return to their village.
And continue farming.
They would basically have no more opportunities to co out after that.
Throughout the entire month of January, Jiang Man spent his ti cultivating and earning spirit sources.
Aside from the Li Family, no one else ca looking for him.
They were probably all waiting for the second competition.
Jiang Man didn't care either—it was better if no one ca.
During this month, his physical body reached the fifth level.
With the help of the Flawless Blood Qi Pills, his fifth blood energy "gourd" was now thirty percent full.
He wasn't too far from the sixth "gourd" either.
However, he was running low on Flawless Blood Qi Pills.
The limit should be opening the sixth "gourd," which would be the sixth level of physical body cultivation.
That was enough.
By then, he didn't know if he could break through the bottleneck from the Seventh Level of Qi Refinent to the Eighth Level of Qi Refinent.
After all, the sixth level of physical body cultivation was required to advance to the Ninth Level of Qi Refinent.
At the end of January.
Jiang Man assessed his current state.
Seventh Level of Qi Refinent, fifth level physical body, third level ntal power.
Corresponding techniques: Qi Refinent thod eleventh level, Blood Energy thod ninth level, Visualization thod thirteenth level.
As for spells, there was basically no progress.
This progress wasn't fast enough.
It was still because he didn't have enough spirit sources and hadn't eaten enough Qi Condensing Pills.
Even the Qi Refinent thod at eleventh level couldn't drive faster progress.
He had to advance to the Eighth Level of Qi Refinent before the March break.
Otherwise, he wouldn't get good spells.
As for this courtyard assessnt...
After brief hesitation, Jiang Man decided to directly display his Seventh Level of Qi Refinent.
This would securely maintain his position as first in the courtyard.
Not only that, but it would also make conversations easier during his next eting with Li Yuan and the others.
Otherwise, soone at the Seventh Level of Qi Refinent looking at soone at the Sixth Level of Qi Refinent would be condescending again.
It would make conversations difficult.
The assessnt still took two days.
Everything went smoothly, and scores were released on February 1st.
——
Gao Residence.
After returning from the assessnt, Little Fatty imdiately started cultivating.
The thought of Jiang Man secretly cultivating as soon as he returned made him unable to sit still.
How could there be soone so dedicated to cultivation?
Even the cultivation thod given to him didn't include ti for sleep.
Nowadays, staying up late was making him lose weight.
Helpless, he could only sneak in so sleep occasionally.
But it was still early, and he needed to cultivate properly. Even though he had passed the qualification assessnt, cultivation in the Sixth Courtyard never stopped.
If he stopped, he would get last place.
However, while he was cultivating, he noticed soone entering.
It was a sowhat overweight middle-aged man.
It was his father.
"You're still cultivating after today's assessnt ended?" the other party asked.
Little Fatty said seriously, "Everyone in the courtyard cultivates secretly. If I don't cultivate, I'll fall behind."
The man was quite surprised—was there sothing wrong with this courtyard?
But when he saw Little Fatty looking at a book, he asked curiously, "What's this?"
"This?" Little Fatty raised the book in his hand. "Brother Jiang's cultivation guidance."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned.
He thought he needed to find a way to replace this thing.
Soone at the Sixth Level of Qi Refinent, although their own improvent wasn't bad, definitely couldn't teach others.
After all, it mostly relied on talent and resources. Having him provide guidance would just mislead students.
He's only first in the courtyard, not first in the Cloud Front Division.
