Chapter 52: You're Poor, I Don't Blame You

Jiang Man rushed over and roughly calculated the time.He wasn't late.

"You're late." A somewhat displeased voice came through.

It was a rather burly man.

Every line of his body told others that his physical body was extremely powerful.

When the other party looked over, that sense of interrogation was intensely oppressive.

Jiang Man checked the time again and said, "You're the ones who came early."

The other party was stunned.

It seemed they hadn't expected Jiang Man to respond this way.

They had waited so long, thinking the latecomer would just apologize.

They never imagined it would become their problem instead.

"Being poor isn't without reason." The man spoke up.

Jiang Man looked at the other party, quite surprised. Did wealthy people enjoy bickering this much?

Shouldn't they decide what to compete for first?

Time was almost up. If they delayed much longer, the mid-grade Qi Refinement Method would be gone.

Jiang Man immediately reminded the other party.

As for being poor, he didn't care about that.

With his talent displayed here, those things could always be obtained in the future.

No need to worry too much about it.

"Let me introduce myself first." The man didn't say more and instead stated, "First in Second Courtyard, third in Azure Cloud Pavilion, Li Yuan."

Yan Huimin beside him spoke up as well, saying, "Third place in Second Courtyard, twelfth in Azure Cloud Pavilion, Yan Huimin."

Jiang Man was shocked. Third in Azure Cloud Pavilion.

Truly powerful. He really might not be a match.

Mainly because his current techniques couldn't create distance against opponents of the same level.

His talent was limited by his techniques.

In the coming days, he needed to find ways to acquire some powerful techniques.

Jiang Man also introduced himself.

The other party nodded, then said, "This time we're going to compete for the Visualization Method. We need to work together."

Hearing this, Jiang Man frowned and said, "I want the Qi Refinement Method."

Li Yuan said calmly, "When cultivation reaches the Sixth Level of Qi Refinement, the Qi Refinement Method is almost set. Only the Visualization Method has the lowest level, and the Visualization Method enhances mental power. The better the Visualization Method, the more beneficial it is for controlling power, effectively stabilizing spiritual energy that goes out of control due to injury, avoiding deviation.

"Now do you understand why we want the Visualization Method?"

Jiang Man looked at the other party and said truthfully, "But I already have a Visualization Method above mid-grade."

Li Yuan looked at Jiang Man, his expression unchanged as he said, "Don't tell such lies for the sake of face. I don't mean to look down on you."

Jiang Man: "..."

Such a response was truly unexpected.

While Jiang Man was still thinking about how to persuade the other party, someone passed by them.

The leader looked quite familiar—it was the tall man from last time at the Transmission Hall. He looked somewhat surprised when he saw Li Yuan, then stopped.

The two people behind him also stopped, staring at Li Yuan as if facing a great enemy.

Li Yuan also noticed them, immediately circulating his spiritual energy as if ready to attack at any moment.

"Time seems to be almost up." The tall man opposite suddenly spoke, then looked around and said, "This place is within range too, right?"

"Young Master Fang wants to fight?" Li Yuan provoked.

Fang Tianyi glanced at the two people behind Li Yuan. When he saw Jiang Man, he looked surprised.

"Isn't this that family's death warrior?" Fang Tianyi said to Jiang Man. "Judging by your appearance, you probably don't have much Spirit Source, right? Did Li Yuan give you Spirit Source to take you to compete for the Visualization Method?

"No?

"Then I'll give you a thousand. I want to fight him now. You just need to stand still.

"Don't worry, I won't let you lose out. I imagine you don't have a Qi Refinement Method—I'll help you compete for that too. You just need to drag people over there."

Hearing this, Jiang Man was stunned.

Give a thousand Spirit Source, and also help compete for the Qi Refinement Method?

"Don't listen to him. The Qi Refinement Method is the most useless. The Visualization Method is the most important..."

Just as Li Yuan was about to explain the importance of the Visualization Method, Fang Tianyi had already made his move.

Three people attacked simultaneously, targeting Li Yuan and the other.

Boom!

Powerful techniques roared forth.

Directly forcing people back.

"Fang Tianyi, you've gone too far." Li Yuan dodged the attacks and roared angrily. "Jiang Man, why aren't you fighting? The Visualization Method is the most important. A thousand Spirit Source is nothing compared to the Visualization Method.

"I don't blame you for having narrow vision, but you can't be so foolish as to fall for this trick.

"If you don't believe me, then why are they doing this?

"If it's not important, why strike first?

"And why help you get the Qi Refinement Method?

"Don't persist in your delusions."

Boom!

Nine dragons emerged together.

Techniques came one after another without end.

Like a howling gale, suffocating.

Yan Huimin was already being attacked by two people, retreating step by step.

Soon they would free up their hands to help Fang Tianyi.

Jiang Man stood in place, feeling somewhat surprised that he would encounter such a situation.

But he felt no fluctuation from Li Yuan's words.

He originally planned to fight himself, but now it was better—someone else was helping him fight.

How could he refuse such a good thing?

The battle ended quickly.

Three against two, without any suspense.

It seemed Fang Tianyi's ranking should be higher than Li Yuan's.

Clearly having the tendency to dominate.

After all, it was the Visualization Method that everyone wanted.

So those competing for it were most likely among the top three in Azure Cloud Pavilion.

Li Yuan was third, so Fang Tianyi was probably first or second.

Soon Li Yuan and the other were tied up. After handing the ropes to Jiang Man, Fang Tianyi gave another thousand Spirit Source: "We're in a hurry. You take these people to where the Qi Refinement Method is. Leave the rest to me.

"Oh, their spiritual energy is sealed. Untying the ropes will let them break the seal faster."

Then they left.

Jiang Man watched the three leave, feeling incredible.

Without thinking too much, he pulled the two toward the back mountain.

His perception was good, and he quickly detected the direction with dense spiritual energy.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan angrily scolded excitedly, "Jiang Man, let me go! Do you know what you're doing? Do you know what you're missing? You'll never have this opportunity in your lifetime."

Jiang Man turned a deaf ear.

He naturally knew what he was doing.

The Visualization Method was useless to him.

The Qi Refinement Method was the most important.

With the opportunity right before his eyes, there was no reason not to compete.

Either he would wrong himself, or he would wrong Li Yuan and the others.

Between the two choices, there was no need to consider at all.

It took considerable time.

Jiang Man finally arrived at the forest where the Qi Refinement Method was located.

By now, Li Yuan had stopped talking. It was too late.

Yan Huimin would still curse a couple of times.

She felt her future had been completely ruined.

Why wouldn't the other party be happy about competing for the Visualization Method?

Along the way, Jiang Man had kept thinking Li Yuan would make an offer.

Unexpectedly, he never mentioned how much Spirit Source he would give.

"There will be puppets appearing here. Only by defeating the puppets can you obtain the Qi Refinement Method. You can't do it alone. You've been tricked." Li Yuan said coldly.

However, when they entered, they found many puppets had already fallen.

A team was fighting inside.

Seeing Jiang Man and the others arrive, the leading woman immediately said, "It'll be done soon. You can directly enter the formation to take the Qi Refinement Method.

"Young Master Fang never breaks his word."

"Fang Yuanyuan, I'll settle accounts with you sooner or later." Li Yuan gnashed his teeth.

Finally, Jiang Man stood before a formation and saw the book inside.

"Go in." Fang Yuanyuan smiled at Jiang Man.

Although she maintained a smile, the meaning was clear—he had to go in and take it whether he wanted to or not.

Soon, Jiang Man obtained the Mortal-grade Mid-grade Qi Refinement Method.

Only then did Fang Yuanyuan lead her people away.

Jiang Man felt the process of obtaining the Qi Refinement Method today was somewhat absurd and ridiculous.

He felt a bit embarrassed holding it.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan looked at Jiang Man, gnashing his teeth as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Especially when he thought about having to compete again every three months afterward, he felt unwilling.

Because the team was fixed.

But the team now had a narrow-visioned rat.

The team would be hard to lead.
