Chapter 256 - 170: My Wife Sent a Photo
Back at his residence, Jiang Man realized he still had three eggs he could sell.
However, he didn’t know the price of these eggs.
Nor did he know who he should ask to help sell them.
The only person he could think to ask was Senior Sister Yu.
’I wonder if I’ll be able to see her this time.’
’Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her.’
He had also given Mr. Yan the information about the Evil God.
It was about rescuing Huo Bingzhi.
Apparently, he wasn’t just an ordinary subordinate of the Evil God.
Just then, Jiang Man approached the Old Yellow Ox to ask about the Promotion Skill.
"You’re already looking into the Promotion Skill?" The Old Yellow Ox sounded a little surprised.
Jiang Man nodded. "Next month, I’ll be entering the Secret Realm to compete for a Promotion Skill. According to them, the Promotion Skill is divided into the First Skill, the Second Skill, and the Third Skill.
"But no one has clearly explained the details."
Jiang Man truly didn’t understand these things, so he could only come and ask the Old Yellow Ox.
He felt that no one else would know as much as the Old Yellow Ox.
’Perhaps Senior Sister Yu would have a clearer understanding, but...’
’I don’t know where she’s been lately.’
’I hope she’s all right.’
"After the Immortal Sect’s Great Reformation, promotions changed. Every promotion now involves a Promotion Skill. It’s true for Foundation Establishment, and it’s true for the Golden Core," the Old Yellow Ox said, munching on grass. "But unlike Foundation Establishment, there are distinctions when it comes to forming a Golden Core."
Jiang Man was a little curious. "The difference between which Skill you get?"
"That’s right." The Old Yellow Ox looked at Jiang Man and said, "Competing for the Promotion Skill isn’t entirely about competing against others. It’s more about competing with yourself.
"The Secret Realm will formulate a Promotion Skill for you based on all your different aspects.
"If your foundation is weak, your mental fortitude is lacking, and your comprehension is poor,
"then the skill it formulates for you won’t be the top-tier Third Skill.
"This takes into account numerous factors: integration of abilities, systematic learning, combat assessments, application of Magic Skills, your Cultivation Level, Heart Clarity, and more."
Hearing this, Jiang Man froze for a moment. "Systematic learning?"
’I’ve never done that.’
"It’s fine. You’re an Unparalleled Celestial Pride, so you probably won’t need the points from that," the Old Yellow Ox said casually.
Jiang Man was speechless. "..."
Besides, it was too late to start studying now.
He couldn’t focus on everything at once, so he had to let it go for now.
"So I don’t have to fight other people?" Jiang Man asked.
"There’s no direct combat. That’s how it used to be, but the Immortal Sect is always changing the rules since the Great Reformation. It’s possible you’ll have to fight," said the Old Yellow Ox.
Jiang Man wasn’t concerned.
Instead, he asked for the names of the Three Skills.
The First Skill: Grass and Wood Skill. It forms a Grass and Wood Golden Core. Being as light and fragile as grass and wood, it can bear the least amount of Spiritual Qi.
The Second Skill: Vajra Skill. It forges a Golden Core via Golden Body Casting. It has few impurities and can bear a large amount of Spiritual Qi.
The Third Skill: Glazed Skill. It forms through a Glazed Transparent Body. Completely pure, it can withstand the most terrifying storms of Spiritual Qi.
There are two main advantages to a better skill. First, promotion is faster. Second, you don’t need to spend time refining impurities during Core Formation. This can save several years of effort.
"The Glazed Skill?" Jiang Man pondered for a moment. "Is that related to the Glazed Body from the Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart?"
The Old Yellow Ox nodded.
Jiang Man thought for a moment before saying, "The Glazed Body’s effect lasts for 850 days. It seems I’m only at four or five hundred days now. It looks like my Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart is lagging pretty far behind."
The Old Yellow Ox fell silent.
It didn’t intend to say anything.
Jiang Man didn’t pay it too much mind. Regardless, his goal had never changed.
He would learn the strongest skill.
That was true whether his Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart was keeping pace or not.
As for what the Seeking Law Mist was, he had no way of knowing.
But none of that was important.
What Jiang Man wanted was to achieve the fusion of his powers.
He asked the Old Yellow Ox, and the answer he received was simple.
Refinement, combat, and consuming Elixirs.
So, Jiang Man chose to use Elixirs for his refinement.
The Earth Element Pill was the most effective because it contained the most power.
It was the fastest method.
Since he was unsure what kind of situation he would face when he went in, he needed to do his best to complete his refinement in this final month.
He spent 16,000 to buy twenty Elixirs, leaving him with 3,000 Spiritual Source.
Next, he had to request time off.
He needed to make an all-out push to achieve the fusion of his powers.

「Law Enforcement Hall Prison」
Xia Jin looked at Yu Wanyi in the cell, half her body covered in bandages, and sighed, "Did it really have to come to this?"
Yu Wanyi stared at the ceiling of her cell and also sighed, "I’d like to ask them the same thing. Did it really have to come to this?"
The moment they bailed her out, she knew things had gone south.
She had wanted to go straight to her master’s residence to seek protection.
Unfortunately, she hadn’t gotten far before the situation changed.
An Earthquake struck.
The airspace was sealed.
Then, all sorts of attacks came flying at her.
She couldn’t dodge them all and took several hits.
If it weren’t for the Magical Treasure her master had given her, she probably would have died right there.
Fortunately, she managed to turn around and run back to the Law Enforcement Hall.
If she hadn’t had some influence in the Law Enforcement Hall, she was afraid...
It was a long and bitter story.
"And this ’influence’ of yours meant turning yourself in?" Xia Jin remarked with a sigh.
"It’s fine. The more they do this, the more it proves I’m right. And not only that, it proves they’re afraid." Yu Wanyi took out a letter and, with some difficulty, handed it to Xia Jin. "Senior Sister Xia, please give this to my master."
"What’s this?" Xia Jin took the envelope, her curiosity piqued.
"I’m going to secure a spot in the Immortal Mansion for him. The Immortal Mansion is about to open, isn’t it? I’m going to get Jiang Man in there," Yu Wanyi said fiercely. "One day, those who attacked me will have to cower before me."
"You need to have a Golden Core to enter the Immortal Mansion," Xia Jin said.
"Didn’t he sign up for the Promotion Secret Realm next month? Trust his dao companion’s judgment—he’ll achieve Core Formation this year," Yu Wanyi said with conviction.
’Core Formation this year?’
Xia Jin felt that was unlikely.
The fusion of powers Jiang Man had demonstrated was insufficient.
Besides, the requirements for entering the Secret Realm weren’t exactly lenient.
And competing for a Promotion Skill was no easy task.
But she didn’t say anything more. Perhaps Junior Sister Yu was right.
