Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 106 Successive Breakthroughs
Zhu Qinghao's face turned red and he felt a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been slapped.

Chen Xingyun asked him to be the middleman with generous gifts, among which was a magical medicine that he had been searching for for years. After asking about the general situation, he patted his chest and agreed.

There is nothing special about the Red Flame Peak. Although it has abundant spiritual energy, it is too overbearing. The time suitable for cultivation every day is half that of other caves.

As long as Ji An agrees, he can not only make friends with his fellow disciples, but also get a lot of spirit stones for free. If you put yourself in his shoes, he will definitely agree.

He originally thought that it was a sure thing, but even after talking to this point, the other party still refused to budge, which made him lose face as a senior brother.

What made him even more distressed was that if things failed to get done, the gifts he received would have to be returned. How could he accept that?

Suppressing the nameless anger in his heart, Zhu Qinghao slowly spoke:
“Junior brother, you should be aware that the demonic disaster is about to break out. Because of the direction of the spiritual vein, the Red Flame Peak is hanging on the outskirts of the sect.

If a demonic disaster breaks out, both the sect and other families will have to shrink their forces. The sect may not have the time to take care of you who are staying at the Red Flame Peak. How can you guard the spiritual vein cave alone?

A man who knows the current situation is a hero. It is better to take advantage of the present benefits and exchange them for a cave residence in the heart of the sect."

He couldn't figure out why the other party had been refusing, so he brought up the danger of a demonic disaster, hoping that the other party would give up.

Chen Xingyun interjected:

"After the demonic disaster broke out, the sects and families had to choose to defend their base to the death for the sake of their foundation.

However, the largest number of people in Xizhou are independent cultivators. These people have no family assets to support them, so they are bound to take advantage of others' misfortunes and rob others.

The geographical location of Chiyan Peak is awkward. If the sect shrinks its defense line, the defense of this branch of the spiritual vein can only rely on the owner of the cave.

How can my junior brother hold on without the support of the sect?
Junior Brother Zhu's words make sense. Changing to a new cave dwelling is beneficial. We all owe Junior Brother a favor, so we can achieve multiple goals at once."

Ji An listened to the subtle threat in the words and his tone turned cold:

"My choice of cave is in accordance with the sect's rules. Brothers, please do not bring it up again."

It will take at least a few more decades for the demon disaster to fully break out. With enough spiritual help, he should be able to grow to the point of protecting his own interests by then. Chiyan Peak must not give up.

He acted according to the rules and as long as he was careful and cautious within the scope of the sect's mountain and river map, he didn't have to worry too much about others causing trouble.

Since they didn't get along, they naturally parted on bad terms. Zhu Qinghao and the other person left in anger.

Ji An grinned, thinking that he had to be more careful with these two people in the future, and also be vigilant against Pu Yunshan and Chen.

In Chen's eyes, he might be listed as someone who blocked his financial path, and such a grudge would be a big one.

He boiled a pot of water, took a porcelain bowl and made some spiritual tea, and his mood gradually calmed down.

What is coming cannot be avoided, so there is no need to worry about it. It is better to use this time to comprehend more skills and spells, or read more jade slips to increase your knowledge.

Ji An took a small sip, savored it carefully, and shook his head slightly.

The taste is indeed worse than that at Senior Brother Ye’s place. When I move to Chiyan Peak in the future, I will also buy a set of tea sets.

Drinking a cup of spiritual tea after practicing is also a good way to relax.

He sat cross-legged on the cushion and practiced his skills to refine the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual tea.

Ji An was a little disappointed. For him, the effect of the first-level spiritual tea was relatively weak. After his cultivation level was improved by one or two small realms, he could only use it to satisfy his appetite.

While drinking the spiritual tea, he picked up the jade slips containing various miscellaneous notes on cultivation and read them to enrich his horizons.

After reading for half an hour, Ji An picked up the jade slip of the Thick Earth Return to Origin Curse and began to study the spell.

This spell is an evolved version of the Thick Earth Technique and also belongs to the Way of One's Own Earth. He did not find it too difficult to understand it.

He believed that this was due to the strength of his own soul and the contribution of Hou Tu's increased Yuan Dao seed.

Through studying magic, he gained some understanding of the way of the earth.

Ji Earth is moist earth that nourishes all things, and its effect of generating gold and releasing fire is more obvious.

The time spent on studying the Thick Earth Returning Origin Mantra was obviously less than that spent on studying the Green Wood Transformation Mantra. Ji An felt that he had already grasped the trick of casting the spell.

He picked up the porcelain bowl and drank from it. The tea was cold and tasteless, like plain water.

After walking out of the bamboo building, Ji An came to the vegetable garden behind to cast a spell. When the magic power passed through the Chongmen acupoint, the Tao seed lit up with a faint light.

After the spell was completed, an ochre-colored spiritual light spread out, and a thick and warm breath sank into the earth.

Ji An's eyes flashed, and he sank his mind into his dantian, connecting with the stone turtle.

[Spell: Thick Earth Returning to Origin Curse (1% for Beginners)]

"Refine the spiritual energy and enhance the Thick Earth Returning Origin Mantra."

His spiritual shadow stood on the Kun position, which had turned into a yellowish-brown area. He felt an inexplicable inspiration hidden under his feet.

After years of accumulation, today's all-in, Kunling's spirit dropped like a waterfall, and countless insights poured into my heart like continuous brilliant fireworks in the night sky.

Everything in the world will eventually come to an end, and the moment Kun Ling returns to zero, prosperity will fall into desolation.

[Spell: Thick Earth Returning to Origin Mantra (1% for beginners → 3% for complete masters)]

Ji An's consciousness returned to his body. He felt dazed and it took him half a breath to recover.

Just now, his mind was so full of insights that he had the illusion of not knowing what year it was. The thrill of upgrading with a single click was too intense, and he felt a little overwhelmed. He decided that even if he stored a large amount of spiritual energy, he would upgrade it in several steps, easing himself in between to avoid a shock to his mind.

Ji An cast the spell again, the magic light became softer, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, and the aura became thicker and warmer.

If he continues to improve at this pace, once he breaks through to the Chaoyuan stage, he will probably be able to cultivate the sect's high-level medicinal garden by himself.

The Thick Earth Returning to Origin Mantra is a spell used during the Foundation Establishment Period. Its function of warming and nourishing the earth veins should be much stronger than the Thick Earth Technique, and increasing the production of elixirs is even more of a given.

In the future, he can choose to complete a series of sect tasks related to planting, such as handing in spiritual medicines, making spiritual charcoal, etc., and it won’t take much time besides practicing spells.

Thinking of this, Ji An's heart became even hotter. He rested for a while, took out the jade slip of the Spring Breeze and Rain Art and placed it on his forehead.

There are more Kanlings than Kunlings, but they cannot lay eggs if they are kept in our hands, so it is better to convert them into productive forces.

The Green Wood Transformation Technique, the Thick Earth Returning to Origin Mantra, and the Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Art, all three spells help to accelerate the accumulation of medicinal herbs. From now on, he will be the richest Foundation Establishment cultivator in the entire sect.

He practiced spells and refined his spiritual energy. When he had raised the Spring Breeze and Rain Art to perfection twice, there were still more than 480 points of Kan Ling left.

The clouds covering more than 20 acres of land were gilded by the setting sun, and the spiritual rain hitting the leaves and grass played an ethereal melody.

When the clouds dissipated and the rain stopped, a rainbow appeared over the bamboo building.

Chen Xingzhou immediately went to greet his brother when he saw him return. He noticed that he looked unhappy, and his heart sank slightly.
"Myna, are things not going well?"

Chen Xingyun sat on the carved chair and said with a sinister look in his eyes:

“We haven’t reached an agreement yet. We’ve already raised the price to two thousand spirit stones, but Ji An still won’t budge.

I dare not and cannot continue to increase the chips, otherwise it will not only arouse Ji An's vigilance, but also make Zhu Qinghao suspicious. "

No one is a fool. Spending unreasonable amounts will only draw more attention and make it more difficult for them to cover up the matter.

The Chen family has rented Chiyan Peak for seventy or eighty years. After years of operation, it can bring in thousands of spirit stones of income to the family every year.

If this alone does not cause them to become enemies with the sect's disciples, who knows what will become of them in the future.

Starting about twenty years ago, miraculous changes began to appear on Chiyan Peak, and the Earth Lung Fire Vein would violently erupt once a year at a fixed time.

It lasts for a very short time, and many fire and gold spiritual creatures will scatter around the mountain as the fire veins explode.

There are many second-level mid-grade spiritual objects among them, and the spiritual objects gushing out are not only increasing in number, but also of better quality.

In recent years, just by selling the spiritual materials picked up after the fire vein eruption, one can obtain at least four to five thousand spirit stones.

The Chen family started out as a weapon refining family and has accumulated a very good weapon refining heritage over the years. Using these materials to refine weapons can create more value.

"If we give up Scarlet Flame Peak, the family will suffer great losses. We must make a decision."

Chen Xingzhou didn't continue speaking and made a cutting gesture.

The artifacts refined by the weapon refiner can be divided into magical tools, spiritual tools, magic weapons, etc. There are also higher-level treasures that are not known to ordinary cultivators.

The quality of magic tools mainly depends on the materials used for refining and the magic prohibitions. Only cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage and the early stage of Foundation Establishment can use them. Some financially strapped cultivators in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment will also use high-quality magic tools.

Ordinary magic tools have lower requirements for materials. Even iron essence refined from ordinary iron can be used as a refining material. The main material of many magic tools of casual cultivators is iron essence.

Magical weapons must be controlled by monks before they can be used. Both the means of attack and defense are relatively simple and lack variety.

The refining of spiritual weapons has relatively strict requirements on materials, and it is necessary to add enough five-element spiritual objects. After successful refining, it must be nurtured with a large amount of five-element essence to cultivate spirituality.

In the middle and late stages of foundation building, second-order low-grade spiritual tools are used, while cultivators in the Chaoyuan stage use second-order mid-grade or higher spiritual tools.

Spiritual weapons have a certain growth potential and can be placed in the cultivator's dantian to be nurtured. If a weak consciousness is cultivated by chance to form a weapon spirit, it can also automatically protect and warn the owner.

The value of a second-grade top-grade spiritual object cannot be bought with spirit stones. Whether it is used to refine spiritual tools for sale or to make friends with Chaoyuan-stage cultivators, it will be beneficial to the Chen family.

If a cultivator who can reach perfection in the Foundation Establishment Stage appears in the Chen family, these second-grade high-quality spiritual objects can be used to exchange for Peiyuan Pills. Perhaps the Chen family can become a large immortal cultivation family with a Chaoyuan Stage cultivator in charge.

Chen Xingzhou's eyes flashed with sternness, and he said viciously:
"The interests involved with Scarlet Flame Peak are too great for us to give up.

The other party is just a spiritual farmer. If we find a suitable opportunity, we can kill him without anyone noticing."

The opportunity for the family to prosper is right before your eyes, and anyone who stands in the way of wealth is an enemy.

“Xingzhou, you haven’t entered the sect yet, so you don’t know how strong the sect’s control over its jurisdiction is.

If the other party keeps hiding in the sect, we won't be able to find a suitable opportunity and we can only take action outside.

We need to come up with a foolproof plan. We must not give the other party any chances after we strike, and we must cover up all traces."

A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can ask for help through a jade token. The map of mountains and rivers can locate the location where the call for help is sent, and can even trace back the scene when the cultivator asked for help.

Chen Xingzhou nodded:

"The eruption cycle of Scarlet Flame Peak will begin next month, and we have a year to prepare calmly.

After returning to the clan, I will have people raise some common birds and falcons as pets to monitor their every move from afar."

　The other chapter will be posted later. I wanted to write more on the weekend, but I was busy all day and didn't write as much as I usually do during my work breaks.
