Free Web NovelChapter 273: Chapter 178: What If Jiang Man Takes a Fancy to the Young Lady?
The clan had agreed to the marriage alliance, and Qing Dai couldn’t help but be excited.
This was the most crucial step.
Normally, this decision should have taken another two or three years to be finalized.
But in order to prop up this Jiang Man, the new generation of celestial prides had actually released the Visualization Skill so quickly.
This was an absolutely massive change for the Sect.
Even if it failed, it was still the beginning of a transformation.
Therefore, this Jiang Man was destined to be recorded in the history of the Immortal Sect’s great restoration.
Even if he didn’t go far in the future, it wouldn’t be a loss in the slightest.
Besides, with the help of their clan.
As long as he was willing to marry into the family.
There would certainly be enough resources.
Of course, a true expert didn’t rely on a pile of resources.
Forget the Miss; even Qing Dai herself couldn’t be created through a sheer accumulation of resources.
Meng Qiewei poured herself a cup of boiled water. "So they’re starting to choose the person?"
"Yes," Qing Dai said with a nod. "The candidate might be chosen this year. They’re still discussing who it should be."
"And they’ll set out by next year at the latest?" Meng Qiewei asked.
"Most likely. Since it’s a marriage alliance, it should be as soon as possible," Qing Dai said, nodding. "Hesitate all you want while you’re hesitating, but once a decision is made, you have to move fast.
"They should start selecting the candidate as soon as the plan is announced.
"So, Miss, what do you plan to do?"
’There are two paths before the Miss: one is to participate herself, and the other is to knock out the chosen person and take their place.’
’Logically, the second path would be best.’
’After all, the first option would make all the Elders extremely anxious.’
’The repercussions would be enormous.’
"It’s not a big deal. I’ll just find some identity and join in," Meng Qiewei said.
Qing Dai nodded. ’That should be easy enough.’
"Then, Miss, will you be using a power-clone?" Qing Dai asked.
Meng Qiewei nodded.
Her real body couldn’t go. She could only use her power to condense a clone and place her Heart Spirit within it.
Meanwhile, her real body would have to remain here in slumber.
"Then should I go in my real body, or as a clone?" Qing Dai asked.
"Same as me," Meng Qiewei said.
Qing Dai felt it was a bit of a pity. This way, she wouldn’t be able to make a move.
If they encountered danger, she was afraid it would be difficult to handle.
’Especially if I die and come back, but the Miss is still alive out there.’
’Then...’
’Without me by her side, if the Miss runs off to find the groom, won’t I miss my chance to see what kind of great man he is?’
Qing Dai’s thoughts twisted and turned, but she finally asked a more practical question. "Miss, will you follow the group to the Wuyun Sect, or leave partway through?"
"Is there a difference?" Meng Qiewei asked, lifting her teacup.
"If you go to the Wuyun Sect, you might have to interact with that Jiang Man. With your unparalleled beauty, Miss, what if he insists on marrying into our family to be with you?" Qing Dai asked.
Meng Qiewei gave Qing Dai a long, deep look, then immediately asked, "Has there been any reaction from the Immortal Sect?"
"Not yet." Qing Dai shook her head, choosing her words carefully before speaking. "If the clan’s arrangements all go smoothly, will we need to make a trip to the Immortal Sect?"
"You can make the trip when the time comes," Meng Qiewei said.
She didn’t seem worried that the Immortal Sect would refuse.
Since things had come to this, Qing Dai didn’t overthink it.
’I’ll just treat it as a trip to see the groom for myself.’
’That’s a good thing, too.’
————
For more than twenty days, Jiang Man spent his time familiarizing himself with the Golden Core curriculum.
In addition, Mr. Yan had given him a great deal of related material.
He also gave him a choice.
To enter the Inner Sect or remain in the Outer Sect.
Entering the Inner Sect meant he could freely choose his own small courtyard.
He could choose his own pace, fast or slow.
He wouldn’t have to worry about skipping ahead too fast and being unable to keep up.
After he got used to it, he could even make further adjustments.
On the other hand, staying in the Outer Sect would allow him to continue learning Outer Sect knowledge while also needing to study parts of the Golden Core curriculum.
That way, he wouldn’t waste time, and he could also receive the Golden Core Basic Skills and Magic Skills.
The only difference was that if he stayed in the Outer Sect, he couldn’t participate in the Inner Sect’s Grand Competition.
The Inner Sect had a wide range of levels, so the competition was divided into a five-year and a ten-year grand competition.
The annual competitions were all smaller in scale.
If Jiang Man remained in the Outer Sect, he wouldn’t be able to participate in any of these three types of annual competitions.
That was the price for staying in the Outer Sect.
"There aren’t many advantages to staying in the Outer Sect. The only one is that it gives me enough time to get stronger," Jiang Man said with a sigh.
However, he had the Purple Mist Divine Light and a Top-grade Golden Core Technique.
’For now, there’s no need to enter the Inner Sect.’
’Once I’ve finished cultivating these two techniques, then I’ll enter the Inner Sect.’ frёewebηovel.cѳm
’At that point, they’ll be the ones trying to avoid my edge.’
"Shouldn’t an Unparalleled Celestial Pride face difficulties head-on?" the Old Yellow Ox asked.
"An Unparalleled Celestial Pride doesn’t suffer needlessly," Jiang Man replied.
"You’re just poor," said the Old Yellow Ox.
Jiang Man didn’t pay it any mind.
He was completely focused on his Cultivation, so he was naturally a bit lacking in Spiritual Source.
It wasn’t hard to earn Spiritual Source.
As long as he set aside the time, he could accomplish it.
But there was no need.
Because as long as his Cultivation was high enough...
...the methods for earning Spiritual Source would far surpass any he had now.
Take the rewards from the annual competition, for example.
The three Spirit Eggs alone were worth a fortune. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
If his Cultivation hadn’t been high enough to enter the competition and consistently force a draw...
...he would have never obtained the Spirit Eggs.
Besides, those people whose names he had written down probably didn’t think much of it before.
As for now, they should be making some kind of gesture.
In the end, Cultivation was the most important thing.
If someone felt that Cultivation wasn’t important, it was only because their own Cultivation wasn’t high enough.
After that, Jiang Man continued to study All Rivers Flow into the Sea.
"The explanation should be finished in another day or two, right?" Jiang Man asked the Old Yellow Ox.
"About," the Old Yellow Ox said, looking up at Jiang Man. "How many days do you think you’ll need to reach the Entry Level?"
Hearing this, Jiang Man fell silent for a moment.
The explanation for All Rivers Flow into the Sea alone had taken more than ten days.
Its difficulty was on a completely different level from anything he had learned before.
It involved far too many things.
The body’s meridians, the surrounding Spiritual Qi, the speed of the Golden Core’s rotation, the convergence of power with the Golden Core, and so on.
