Chapter 567: Chapter 311: Ji Meng: Damn, What Did Young Master Jiang Feed Me?

Jiang Man’s Array was drawn in his room, with Old Huang and the Tengu keeping watch outside to prevent any accidents. The Array was sealed; those inside could not see the outside situation.

Jiang Man could only let the other party know that the one who pulled him out was Zui Fusheng, and that it had absolutely nothing to do with Jiang Man. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous.

Circulating the Evil God’s Technique, Jiang Man looked at Mu Kong in front of him. The latter had agreed to his proposal but didn’t seem in high spirits. Jiang Man could understand the feeling of being under someone else’s control. It was normal to not be enthusiastic.

However, he couldn’t guarantee much else; his own strength was quite limited. Even Ting Fengyin had said that there was no way to recruit him, so there was no way to promise the other party more. Keeping him alive in captivity was already the limit, and even that was just something he would try his best to achieve.

If the Immortal Sect insisted on killing him, Jiang Man actually couldn’t do anything about it. Having Ting Fengyin intervene would be making a mountain out of a molehill. Fortunately, he had made significant contributions, so his voice still held weight for the time being. There shouldn’t be any major problems.

"What do I need to do?" Mu Kong asked.

Jiang Man thought for a moment. "The Immortal Sect enforces strict governance, so you cannot casually use your Evil God Power. Right now, you are considered an ordinary person, so it’s best to learn Simple Skills.

"If you are caught using Evil God Power, it will be very troublesome for me."

Pulling his clone out was already pushing the limits. If Mu Kong were caught using Evil God Power, Jiang Man would have to bail him out. He would probably even have to write a report. Who would dare approve it? Even True Master Tai Hua would have to think twice.

"And then?" Mu Kong asked.

"Reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible. I’ll contact you when I need something," Jiang Man said.

"What is my main duty?" Mu Kong asked again.

"When necessary, carve spatial coordinates for me," Jiang Man replied.

Mu Kong asked if there was anything else besides that. Jiang Man pondered for a moment, then had him draw a coordinate on the spot and teach it to him. Jiang Man quickly memorized it. Finally, he gave the other party ten thousand Spiritual Sources and used the Token to drop him outside the Sect.

"Go join the Yunqian Bureau and begin your Cultivation," he instructed.

Mu Kong immediately asked, "Then what is my goal for this current stage?"

"Foundation Establishment in three years," Jiang Man replied casually. Afterward, the mist of the Array dissipated.

Jiang Man felt this task wasn’t difficult. At the very beginning, his initial resources had only been a single ox, yet he reached Foundation Establishment in a year. As an Evil God equipped with ten thousand Spiritual Sources, requiring Foundation Establishment in three years wasn’t asking too much. He couldn’t give more Spiritual Sources; he still needed them to deal with the backlash from his Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart. Furthermore, giving Mu Kong tasks wasn’t for him to enjoy life. He naturally had to earn his own Spiritual Sources.

As the mist cleared, Mu Kong looked around in bewilderment. This was an unfamiliar place, but it seemed he could go anywhere. Was he free? Moreover, Foundation Establishment in three years was his only goal. This made him feel a bit strange. The tasks were too few; he wasn’t used to it. Didn’t he have to risk his life? For instance, back in the Black Spirit Abyss, he had to put his life on the line. Otherwise, where would the benefits come from? However, he was certain that he didn’t hold much value right now. Only by reaching Foundation Establishment could he prove his worth. He also wasn’t sure at what stage of exploitation he would simply be abandoned.

In the courtyard.

Jiang Man looked at the Jade Token in his hand. He discovered that when combined with the fourth volume of the Evil God’s Technique, he could summon Mu Kong back at any time, binding him within this tiny token. This Skill was truly domineering.

It had taken him quite some time to cultivate it, and now he still had to cultivate the second volume. That way, when triggering coordinates, it wouldn’t take three breaths of time. The safety margin would be much higher. The only flaw was that it couldn’t break through spatial lockdowns. It was still because Mu Kong was too weak. If his traits could break through spatial lockdowns, then Jiang Man himself wouldn’t fear the lockdowns of powerful experts either. If given the chance, he definitely had to strengthen him a bit.

Afterward, Jiang Man looked at the coordinates left by Mu Kong and immediately used the fourth volume’s Array to conceal and isolate them. Even Mu Kong himself wouldn’t be able to detect them now. This was also an ability Ting Fengyin had helped attach for him. Otherwise, if the other party followed the coordinates here, wouldn’t he be exposed? If someone with ulterior motives used him to cross over, it would be inviting a wolf into the house. That would be even more dangerous.

Jiang Man then walked out, feeling much safer overall. Right now, as long as he circulated the Evil God’s Technique, he could sense the coordinates and return to the courtyard at any time. The only troublesome thing was that if he used it once and didn’t leave a new coordinate, he wouldn’t be able to return. Moreover, he could only activate one coordinate in a short period. This was the limitation of Mu Kong’s clone, but even his true body would have to activate them one by one. Whichever was activated first had to be used first, otherwise, it would become invalid. If he wanted to leave instantly, he had to activate it in advance. Activating it remotely would consume some time. In short, there were quite a few restrictions, but it was enough.

Entering the courtyard, Jiang Man shared the good news with the Old Yellow Ox. The Old Yellow Ox just kept eating its grass, not paying any attention.

Afterward, Jiang Man began to inspect his harvest from this trip. After all, he had obtained a Storage Treasure. He had obtained one before and given it to Old Huang. The items inside had all been ruined because too much time had passed. Furthermore, Storage Treasures were technology from the old era; that one deteriorated after just a few days. Fortunately, this Storage Treasure was relatively intact.

Inside were fifty thousand Spiritual Sources and two Cultivation Skills, both from the old era. Jiang Man glanced at them and tossed them aside. Ordinary, too ordinary. The content was rudimentary; he could casually spot three flaws. There weren’t many redeeming qualities, but he’d let Old Huang take a look. Maybe he could find some merit in them.

Besides that, there was a shattered Spirit Sword. Its overall quality seemed decent, but it was severely worn. No matter how strong a Magical Treasure was, it required maintenance; otherwise, it wouldn’t last long. Repairing this Magical Treasure would probably cost a lot of Spiritual Sources. As a piece of old-era technology, he felt it wasn’t worth much anyway.
