Chapter 562: Chapter 308: The Young Miss Went to Pick Up the Son-in-Law

"This thing is fine for traveling, but escaping with it won’t be easy. That is, unless the Evil God’s perception and comprehension of space are elevated."

Jiang Man looked at the nonchalant Ting Fengyin, feeling as if this was an easy task. He curiously asked about it.

"If it were easy, why would they waste so much time? To enjoy the scenery?" Ting Fengyin retorted.

Jiang Man felt he shouldn’t have asked. Ultimately, he inquired how he could kill the Bai Family Ancestor.

Having seen the Ancestor in person, he could sense his absolute control over power. Even if Jiang Man reached Primordial Spirit Perfection and bolstered himself with the Power of the Evil God, killing the man would not be easy. Before understanding this, he had thought it would be as easy as a snap of the fingers. After witnessing the opponent’s power, he realized just how incredibly difficult it truly was.

"That is because you cannot properly mobilize the Power of the Evil God, coupled with your poor practical combat skills. I can teach you a few things; watch and learn," Ting Fengyin said.

Jiang Man couldn’t help but ask if he was just making it up on the spot again.

Ting Fengyin replied that if he didn’t improvise, the techniques would bear his distinct traces and be instantly recognized.

Jiang Man then asked which Evil God was involved this time.

Ting Fengyin simply told Jiang Man to investigate it himself—how would he know? Besides, he didn’t pay attention to the outside world. Unless there was something for him to examine, he wouldn’t be able to tell.

Hearing this, Jiang Man immediately took out his opponent’s Storage Treasure.

Ting Fengyin casually inspected it and pulled out a stone. "This stone should be able to contact that Evil God." Looking at Jiang Man, he continued, "You can take it back and give it a try. It should tell you exactly who wants to make a move against you."

He then tapped the stone a few times and said, "Now, they won’t be able to detect your location or aura. You can converse with them without worry."

Having done this, Ting Fengyin asked, "Are there any other questions? If not, I will begin imparting the fourth volume and the new second volume."

Jiang Man shook his head; he had none for now.

"Then study them well. However, I still must remind you: when it is time to strike, it is best to kill both of them together. Otherwise, it’s hard to say what might happen," Ting Fengyin warned.

Jiang Man nodded, indicating he understood.

Afterwards, Ting Fengyin began to impart the fourth volume.

Like the first and second volumes, the fourth volume was a type of Magic Skill that only needed to be cultivated to the Ninth Layer. However, comprehending it was no easy feat.

"Although the fourth volume only has nine layers, it connects to the second volume, Arrays, and spatial laws, so it will be slightly more complex," Ting Fengyin’s voice echoed out.

Jiang Man felt a massive influx of information rapidly flood his mind. He could only try his best to memorize and comprehend it.

Five days later.

He had only just managed to barely commit it to memory. Next was the second volume. Since the modifications were minor, it only took about a day to grasp.

Upon finishing his studies, Jiang Man received the relevant materials: the ingredients required to condense an avatar, the Array to be used during the process, and so on.

Finally, Ting Fengyin began teaching Jiang Man combat methods. These were not Magic Skills, but rather practical applications for real battle and the control of Spiritual Qi.

He even personally sparred with Jiang Man. Every one of his casual movements seemed to carry an indescribable might. Jiang Man found it impossible to break through his defenses, impossible to get close, and impossible to overcome him.

"This is a type of momentum. Memorize this feeling."

Only after a long while did Jiang Man barely manage to commit it to memory. With that, his surrounding environment began to retreat and fade away.

"You’ve scared all my fish away," Ting Fengyin complained.

Jiang Man wondered when the man had ever caught a fish to begin with. Last time, he had to physically grab those two Wishing Fish. Come to think of it, those two Wishing Fish were nowhere to be seen now; in all likelihood, they had already been eaten.

A moment later, everything vanished. Jiang Man returned to the courtyard where he cultivated.

He now felt the power within his body surging actively. Ting Fengyin’s teachings had benefited him greatly. If he could combine that feeling of momentum with the Divine Skill of Three Mountains and Subduing the Peaks, he felt the effects would be even better.

However, right now he had only memorized them, and was still in the process of comprehending the second and fourth volumes. He hadn’t yet begun their actual Cultivation. What he needed now was to elevate his Cultivation level first.

After that, he went into secluded Cultivation once more. Ten days later, just as his Hundred Tempering Pills were about to run out, he successfully opened the second Gourd. His Physical Body Cultivation successfully advanced to the Second Layer.

At this moment, he felt that two of the nine vortices in his body had been filled. The condensed Spiritual Qi felt increasingly massive. The Nine-star Series seemed even more terrifying than the Hundred Rivers Series.

Afterwards, Jiang Man began consuming Spirit Refining Pills to enhance his Spirit.

At the end of July.

After consuming a small amount of Elixirs, Jiang Man successfully opened the sixth Gourd. Spiritual Sixth Layer.

As of now, his Cultivation was at the Middle Stage of Primordial Spirit, his Physical Body at the Middle Stage of Primordial Spirit, and his Spirit at the Spiritual Sixth Layer.

The upper limit for his Spirit was the Seventh Layer. If he wanted to reach the Ninth Layer, his Cultivation needed to reach the Late Stage.

There wasn’t much time left. Out of the nine hundred days, only about two hundred remained. As for his Elixirs, he didn’t have many left.

Fifty Void-Invoking Summer Yuan Pills, nine Hundred Tempering Pills, and thirty-five Spirit Refining Pills. Ninety thousand Spiritual Sources. He was still relatively wealthy.

On this day, Jiang Man stepped out of his residence. He found that the surroundings had mostly been restored, and the Black Spirit Abyss had been successfully relocated to the wastelands.

"It looks like the mission is coming to an end," Jiang Man remarked emotionally.

"Senior Brother, the administration office has issued the order. The Array has been successfully transferred and consolidated." Tao He looked at Jiang Man and said respectfully, "Your mission is complete, Senior Brother. You may leave at any time."

Jiang Man looked at the three of them and nodded calmly before saying, "I actually have some new insights regarding Cultivation. Would you like me to explain them to you?"

Hearing this, the three were overjoyed. Jiang Man’s understanding was naturally vastly different from theirs, as he had been taught by true experts. Old Huang, Ting Fengyin, Ji Hao—because of them, what others easily understood, he might not necessarily follow, but what others failed to understand, he definitely grasped.

Furthermore, he had an even deeper comprehension of Primordial Spirit methods. If they ever had the chance to learn a Promotion Skill, this knowledge would prove incredibly useful.

After spending a day explaining the Cultivation Method, Jiang Man prepared to leave.

If he hurried back, he should still be able to participate in the Sect’s first examination. When out and about, one’s scores were highly scrutinized. And currently, he didn’t have a single score to his name.

Tao He and the other two were reluctant to see him go. Jiang Man had become their spiritual pillar; as long as he was around, they felt incredibly safe. Even though they were out of danger now, they had lost that previous sense of absolute security.

Jiang Man was unaware of this. He simply bid them farewell and departed via Sword Control.

On the way, he ran into Xie Zhixu and his two companions.

"Junior Brother, it seems you aren’t injured," Xie Zhixu said with a smile.

Jiang Man nodded. "Thanks to your blessing, Senior Brother."

Xie Zhixu asked curiously, "Did you encounter any formidable enemies, Junior Brother?"

Jiang Man shook his head and said, "I was just swept up in the shockwaves once and sustained some injuries." His wounds still hadn’t fully healed, but the impact was negligible.

"Then your luck isn’t very good, Junior Brother," Qin Ge stated calmly. "There are many merits to be earned here. Did you manage to achieve any?"

Jiang Man nodded. "I did. I made a huge contribution."

The three froze for a moment. They couldn’t shake the feeling that he was joking. It was exactly like how they felt when they asked about his Cultivation level earlier. It made them suspicious of how credible his words actually were.

Pausing for a second, Xie Zhixu kindly reminded him, "When we leave, the magnitude of our merits will be displayed in the form of Tokens."

Jiang Man was taken aback, realizing there was such a rule.

Seeing his reaction, the other three said no more. In any case, they would find out when the time came.

Finally, they arrived at the administration office. After submitting their mission details and verifying their identities, they waited. Once they received their merit Tokens, they could return, and the Sect would distribute their rewards.

However, very soon, four envelopes were presented before the four of them.

"Envelopes?" the thin and hairless Qin Ge asked in astonishment. "Did the rules change?"

The young woman delivering the envelopes smiled faintly. "Please take them, you four."

Qin Ge and the others carried their items outside in confusion. Upon leaving, they clearly saw that everyone else had received Tokens. Why did it turn into envelopes when it came to them?

Soon, a possibility dawned on them. Someone had made a massive contribution. The merits had to be concealed to prevent any unforeseen accidents.

In an instant, the three of them looked at Jiang Man, wondering if he had been serious earlier.

Throughout the rest of the journey, they asked no questions, let alone mentioned the merits again.

However, when they arrived at the Teleportation Array room, Jiang Man saw the Senior Brother in charge of registration stand up.

Jiang Man spoke first. "Thank you for the arrangements earlier, Senior Brother."

Hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Not at all, it was my duty."

If there hadn’t been so many people around, he would have wanted to return the Spiritual Sources he had taken from him. Lately, rumors about this person had been spreading nonstop. It was said that he was the one who broke the stalemate at the Zhenyue Bureau.

He had been utterly dumbfounded when he found out. Didn’t they say he had no scores? How could he have possibly broken the stalemate?

Looking into it casually was one thing, but a deeper investigation gave him a fright. Number one in the Outer Sect, Primordial Spirit Cultivation, and had just entered the Inner Sect this year. A true prodigy of heaven.

His lack of scores was infinitely more terrifying than having them. The registration senior had been on pins and needles. Finally, he successfully sent the man on his way. The other party hadn’t caused any trouble and even thanked him; it seemed he had managed to dodge a bullet.

Meanwhile.

Ji Meng stood up, opened the door, and walked outside.

Qing Dai asked curiously, "Where are you going, Miss?"

"Just going out for a stroll," Ji Meng said casually. "You don’t need to follow me."

Puzzled, Qing Dai immediately sent a message to Profound Wisdom.

The reply she received stated that the young master was likely returning.
