Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 107: Soul Sealing Technique

By the Bishui Lake, after Ji An cast a spell on Lingtian, he walked back to the courtyard leisurely.

The gray-feathered sand geese got a short break and ran to the lake to catch fish and shrimp.

He opened the magic barrier and stepped inside. Just as he was about to cast a spell, he caught a glimpse of a few flower buds hanging on the spiritual apricot tree.

He quickly walked closer and looked at it carefully several times, feeling both happy and a little annoyed.

The spiritual fruit tree will bear fruit after it blooms, which is a good thing. However, transplanting it at this time will consume a lot of the spiritual tree's vitality.

It will take several years for it to bloom again after transplantation, and the fruiting time will also be delayed. I wonder how much a few planting spells in the foundation-building period can reduce the adverse effects.

He sighed softly. He could have eaten the spiritual fruit earlier, but now it seems he may have to wait a few more years.

But now that things have come to this, there is no need to worry anymore, so he began to cast the spell.

With the Fire Curse and three Foundation Establishment Stage planting spells serving in turn, the yard is filled with spiritual energy, and the Fire Cloud Ginseng will surely mature faster.

After completing the spell and leaving the courtyard, he saw a talisman bird approaching quickly.

Ji An smiled and said, "Friend Wei, how are you?"

The other person used to be my senior brother, but now he has become my nephew. It is more pleasant to call him fellow Taoist and it does not seem distant.

The talisman bird was still ten feet off the ground when Wei Songnian jumped down impatiently, and a dull sound was heard.

He cupped his hands, his expression baffling:

"Greetings, Uncle Ji."

He was surprised and delighted to learn from Huang Feihu that Ji An had broken through to the foundation-building stage.

The two have always had a good relationship, and he could also benefit from the other party's foundation building, but the other party did not notify him after building the foundation, which made him quite nervous.

"Haha, let's call each other fellow Taoists.

I have been busy these days and haven't had time to notify my old friends. I'm thinking of inviting you all to come and get together when I move to the cave and hold a celebration.

By the way, my cave is located in Chiyan Peak, northwest of the sect, and it will take a few months before I can move there.

Once I'm settled, I'll send a communication sword to notify everyone."

Ji An patted Wei Songnian's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist, prepare the gifts."

The communication talisman sword is made by a talisman maker, and the craftsmanship is relatively complex. It is a special talisman that is exclusive to the sect and can be used within the sect's jurisdiction.

Each talisman sword costs a spirit stone. In the past, he was reluctant to use this method to convey information.

Now that I am a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, time is even more precious.

"I will definitely go there then," Wei Songnian felt relieved. He felt that the other party was not perfunctory and that the network he had cultivated for a long time was still there.

After the two exchanged mana marks, Ji An said:
"We have nothing to do today, so why don't we go find Fellow Daoist Liang and catch some spirit fish?"

After settling in Chiyan Peak, planting only 30 acres of spiritual fields was not enough for him.

He studied the rules that the sect had established for the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, and planned to contract the entire area and hand over the required amount of supplies to the sect.

There is only one cave on Chiyan Peak, so there is no need to discuss it with anyone, just let him do whatever he wants.

The sect encourages this kind of behavior, as it allows for similar gains to be achieved without the need for extra manpower, thus improving efficiency.

There was a deep pool in the Chiyan Peak area, and he planned to trick Liang Qiu into raising spirit fish there. Liang Qiu was a good cook, so he wouldn't have to cook for himself in the future.

These words brought the relationship, which had become somewhat distant due to the change in their status, closer. Wei Songnian laughed and said, "Let's go together."

Ji An took out the beast-controlling card and called back the gray-feathered sand goose. The two of them flew together on the shimmering lake. The rippling water reflected on their bodies, sparkling before their eyes.

After a while, Wei Songnian smiled bitterly and said:
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you go ahead and wait for me at Fellow Daoist Liang's place? The Talisman Bird is too slow and it will slow you down."

The gray-feathered sand goose flapped its wings violently from time to time, causing the bird to sway.

She even looked at him with contempt, making him grit his teeth inwardly, unable to vent his anger.

"That's fine. I'll go to Baiweilou and buy some spiritual wine and vegetarian food to go with the meal."

Ji An urged the beast to fly away.

After eating the spiritual fish, Ji An said goodbye and left.

Liangqiu and the other man stood in the bamboo building in the water, watching the nimble monster carrying its master away in silence for a long time.

Wei Songnian sighed and said with great regret:
"It's like a dream. I still remember that year when I took two new disciples from the General Affairs Hall to the spiritual field of Bishui Lake. One was called Liu Yu and the other was called Ji An.

At that time, Old Huang was still around, and we had a great time drinking under the moonlight."

"Ten years passed like a dream. These two disciples have successfully established their foundations, while I am still wasting time at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Sometimes I can’t help but wonder, why is there such a big gap between people? "

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would look back on the past and feel frustrated.

Liang Qiu said calmly:

"I used to feel resentful, but these past few years, raising spirit fish and watching the rippling water and the fish fighting for food every day, I've become more open-minded."

Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Others have their own opportunities. All he can do is walk his own path.

"Junior Brother Liang, what Fellow Daoist Ji said just now seems to be an invitation for you to take care of his cave.

Congratulations first! Your luck has finally come to you, as you are able to cultivate within the spiritual veins."

Liang Qiu smiled and shook his head:

"Things haven't even started yet, but I want to congratulate you, senior brother. Fellow Daoist Ji has already said that he will take good care of your talisman business in the future." A few days later, in the cave atop Ningcui Cliff.

“Master, I have already recruited a disciple to take care of the medicine garden. His Small Cloud and Rain Technique and Thick Earth Technique have both reached perfection.

After observing him for these days, I found that he is still very serious and responsible.

Xiang Yong is currently in charge of the herb garden. I've assessed that the two of them can handle the maintenance. You can go to the herb garden and take a look at it yourself when you're free."

Ge Ying nodded slightly. This disciple was very capable and didn't require her to worry too much. That was good.

"I have obtained the Qingmu Changchun Gong from the Gong Transmission Hall. I have encountered some problems in my practice these days. Please give me some guidance, Master."

Ji An explained the problems he encountered in detail and received patient answers.

"Yes, your understanding of the technique is not like that of someone who has just been exposed to it for a few days."

Ge Ying's eyes were full of praise, and she was becoming more and more satisfied with this disciple.

"What spells did you choose? Choose both an offensive and defensive spell, and take time to practice them.

You fellow disciples will inevitably experience a demonic disaster, and everyone in the sect will inevitably have to walk on the battlefield."

“Master, don’t worry, I have a clear plan for the future.

In terms of spells, I chose the Jade Wood Transformation Technique, the Spring Breeze Transformation Technique, and the Golden Light Technique, a total of seven Foundation Establishment spells that can meet the needs of planting and can be used for both offense and defense.

Ge Ying's expression became very interesting. She frowned and said sternly:

"Magic spells must be practiced thoroughly to be effective. Biting off too much will not be enough. Knowing too much will not be of much use.

Besides, you chose the Wood Element Kung Fu. Wouldn't it be more difficult for you to learn the Golden Light Technique?"

She felt that her disciple had become proud because she had comprehended the Dharma during the Qi Refining Stage.

"Master, I know I was wrong.

But since I've already bought it, I can't get my contribution points back. Besides the three planting spells, I'll only practice two combat spells."

Ji An knew that his situation was special, so he didn't try to explain anything and just admitted his mistake honestly.

Ge Ying's expression relaxed a little, and she said earnestly:
"The planting spell also needs to be focused. You may think that you have enough time now, but the lifespan of a foundation-building cultivator is only over 200 years, so you can't relax.

At all times, lifespan is a sword hanging over the heads of cultivators.

I've seen many cultivators waste too much time on magic or cultivating immortality skills, and by the time they realize it's too late, they must know that cultivation is the foundation."

Her gaze became distant. She had been so obsessed with alchemy that she had not made any progress in her practice for many years.

If she had been able to strike a balance between improving her cultivation and improving her skills in cultivating immortals, perhaps she could have given it a try and see if she could break through to the Chao Yuan Stage.

"I will follow Master's instructions and allocate my time wisely so as not to delay my cultivation."

Ji An responded sincerely, he could hear the sincerity in his master's heart.

"Master, I would like to know what medicinal materials are needed to refine the Peiyuan Pill, and which medicinal materials are particularly scarce?"

"What do you want to do? Are you planning to plant them now and use them after you break through the Chao Yuan stage?"

Ge Ying's eyes looked a little strange, and she thought to herself, "You've just become a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and you're already thinking about Peiyuan Pills?"
It's good for a monk to think long-term, but to think so far ahead is unrealistic.

"That's exactly what I mean. The Perfection level of the Small Cloud Rain Technique and the Thick Earth Technique can both speed up the lifespan of elixirs."

Ge Ying suddenly felt that this disciple was silly and cute, and laughed:

"Do you know how many years the main ingredients in Peiyuan Dan need to age? They all need to be four or five hundred years old.

These main medicines must be planted on at least the second-level low-grade spiritual vein nodes in order to increase the age of the medicine more quickly.

The Small Cloud Rain Technique and Thick Earth Technique have little effect on these elixirs. You need to practice the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique and Thick Earth Return to Origin Mantra to perfection before they can work.

To put it bluntly, these elixirs will not mature until your lifespan is over.

By the way, where is your cave dwelling?"

As far as she knew, the cave dwellings at the sect's second-level and above spiritual vein nodes had long been divided up, and only the death of a cultivator now could vacate the space.

Even if there is space available, it will not be the turn of the cultivators in the early stage of foundation building to move in.

What a coincidence! I have already practiced both spells to perfection. Ji An was very proud and said:
"My disciple's cave residence is located at Scarlet Flame Peak, which happens to be a second-grade, lower-grade spiritual vein."

He recounted the situation at Scarlet Flame Peak and added:
"The sect is currently cultivating its spiritual veins. If the main vein is upgraded, the branch veins will also be upgraded accordingly. By then, the spiritual vein level of Scarlet Flame Peak will be upgraded by at least one level."

Ge Ying was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"The spiritual energy there is fierce and intense, so it's not a good place to improve your cultivation. The only benefit is that you can refine your magic power, but doing so will slow down your cultivation. I hope you won't regret your choice today."

She took out a jade slip, entered the information, and threw it out:
“Inside are the herbs and seeds needed for Pei Yuan Dan. I have them for you later.

It's not a free gift, give me a medium-grade spirit stone."

The elixir is expensive, but the seeds are cheap.

"Thank you, Master."

Ji An happily took out the spirit stone, and told him about transplanting the spirit fruit tree again, and asked:

"Master, is there any way to reduce the damage incurred during the transplant?"

"Go to the Transmission Hall and buy the jade slips for the Soul Sealing Technique. This spell can seal the loss of spiritual energy and is used when transplanting spiritual plants.

However, this spell requires a certain understanding of the power of the five elements. It is easy to learn but difficult to master. Only cultivators above the Chaoyuan stage can study it thoroughly."
