An Opportunity To Complete The Investment
At that moment, Nan Shan had inadvertently seen Jiang Congshuang's envious gaze.
The third level of the resource hall was an unattainable dream for all outer disciples.
Even Senior Sister Jiang, who was usually cold and aloof, was the same.
Nan Shan had already received Jiang Congshuang's investment mission, but he had never had the chance to complete it.
After all, his Senior Sister Jiang had always been so selfless that he could not find an opportunity to exchange resources with her.
The third level of the resource hall might be the perfect opportunity.
"First Elder, this disciple would like to ask a question, is it possible?"
Nan Shan made up his mind and cupped his fists to the First Elder.
"Oh? What was it? Just say it. "
The First Elder looked at Nan Shan with more admiration.
After all, the third floor of the resource hall was a great temptation for the Outer Sect disciples. Nan Shan was only an in-name disciple, but he could resist it. One had to admit that such determination was rare among young people.
"I know that my cultivation is still shallow and there are thousands of inner Qi cultivation techniques in the resource hall. I am not ready to pick one yet, so could First Elder give me a few more days to think about how I should choose a suitable cultivation technique?"
Nan Shan lowered his posture.
The First Elder laughed and agreed without hesitation.
However, the disciples who were waiting to watch the show came up empty-handed, and each and every one of them revealed a disappointed expression.
"Thank you for your permission, First Elder. However, I have only cultivated for a short period of time and do not know how to choose a more suitable cultivation method."
"If First Elder can do me the honor, why don't you take this opportunity to come to this disciple's humble house and have a drink? I've been reluctant to drink the two pots of good wine I've received before, and it seems that I've been waiting for someone like First Elder to taste them."
Nan Shan maintained his posture of cupping his fists, and his words were smooth enough.
Thanks to his experience from his previous life, he knew what kind of attitude one should have when asking others to do things.
"Oh? This disciple of yours is quite interesting. It just so happens that this old man doesn't have to deal with too many trivial matters after coming out of seclusion, so I'll go with you for a drink."
The First Elder was overjoyed by Nan Shan's reasonable words. Adding on the fact that he liked wine, he naturally agreed.
"Why don't you come and join, Senior Sister? This is the first time Junior Brother is meeting the First Elder, so I'm afraid there will be some restraint during the meal. Senior Sister and First Elder are familiar with each other, so please try your Junior brother's cooking skills."
Nan Shan turned his head naturally and said to Jiang Congshuang.
Jiang Congshuang had no reason to refuse his flawless reasoning, so she nodded slightly.
From an angle that no one could see, Nan Shan's lips curved up slightly, revealing a proud smile.
Before, he was not very familiar with Senior Sister Jiang. Coupled with her cold and beautiful personality, he could not easily pry open her heart, let alone meet the investment conditions.
This time, everything was ready, only Senior Sister needed to speak. Nan Shan did not believe that he could not get her to open up.
The protagonist decided to leave early. Seeing that it was still early, the elders took the rest of the disciples back to the main venue of the exchange meeting as if they were chasing away little chicks and prepared to continue the assessment.
With Nan Shan's ability to clear two challenges in one day, the other matches and challenges were a little dull.
When the sky was getting dark, Nan Shan took his leave and returned to his residence to make some simple arrangements.
Cultivators did not need to eat, so they did not need food to maintain their daily consumption.
However, not needing it did not mean that he was not hungry. Nan Shan used all his skills to make a table full of food and even brought out the two pots of good wine.
When night fell, the First Elder arrived on time with Jiang Congshuang.
The meal was a happy one. After drinking, the First Elder was completely free from the restraints of the day, and his hearty laughter spread far in the night sky.
Nan Shan drank with him while secretly watching Jiang Congshuang.
After two glasses of wine, she refused to drink any more. Her soft and delicate hand held her delicate chin and she sighed faintly.
"Senior Sister Jiang, is there something that you're unhappy about? You can tell me about it, and maybe I'll think of a solution."
Nan Shan said as he filled her cup again.
Jiang Congshuang looked up at Nan Shan quietly, her beautiful eyes filled with a natural charm.
After a long time, she shook her head gently and smiled, seemingly self-deprecating and sad.
"It's nothing, I just encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation. I can't help but feel vexed."
Jiang Congshuang's clear eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist. She would not reveal her true feelings so easily under normal circumstances. After all, to her, admitting that she was lacking in cultivation was equivalent to showing weakness.
However, with her personality, how could she bow down to others?
It was only because she had drunk some wine today, and the two people beside her were considered close to her, that she was willing to spit it out.
"Oh? I wonder what kind of bottleneck it is?" The First Elder was now drunk. Seeing that his proud disciple was on the verge of tears, he quickly asked.
"Elder, you should know that I'm cultivating the five elements cultivation method, but I'm only missing the water element cultivation method. I've been looking for it all this time."
Jiang Congshuang was silent for a long time before she spoke.
Through their conversation, Nan Shan had already understood the general situation. Jiang Congshuang was so highly valued by the First Elder because although she did not have the five elements spiritual pulse, she had achieved the ultimate Yin body as a woman.
This relatively rare physique allowed her to accommodate the power of the five elements without any obstacles, and at the same time, she could integrate them.
When the cultivation was complete, the five-element Qi in the body could be said to be similar to the real five-element spiritual meridians.
However, if one wanted to cultivate it to a greater degree, the conditions were much more demanding.
Unlike other cultivators, Jiang Congshuang's five elements cultivation method required five cultivation methods to be cultivated to the major success stage before she had the hope of breaking through the bottleneck.
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth-the cultivation techniques of the five elements were all treasures sought after by countless people. They could only be obtained with the right time, place, and people.
The four cultivation techniques that Jiang Congshuang was currently cultivating had taken a lot of effort to obtain the opportunity to enter the resource hall.
Now that she was about to succeed in cultivating the metal, wood, fire, and earth element, if she lost the water element cultivation method and did not have the chance to cultivate it, Jiang Congshuang would not be far from the bottleneck.
Once she reached a bottleneck, it would be difficult to break through. The longer the time, the slimmer the chance of breaking through. In the end, even if she managed to break through, her talent would be greatly reduced, and she might not be able to make any progress for the rest of her life.
Jiang Congshuang could not help but purse her lips at the mention of the sad part, and she was about to cry.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's a rare opportunity for you to enter the resource hall for the first time. You'll have to choose a cultivation technique well then.
Jiang Congshuang quickly adjusted her state of mind and forced a smile at Nan Shan.
"Senior Sister Jiang, the cultivation method you need is called water element cultivation method?"
Nan Shan suddenly asked.
