Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 108 Planning
After bidding farewell to his master, Ji An boarded a gray-feathered sand goose and headed towards Lingxiao Mountain.

The sky is clear and the mountains are green. His clothes swaying in the wind have an extraordinary temperament.

Halfway through the journey, the beast stopped and circled back, recalling the past that it could not bear to recall.

A few days ago, it took this route and ran away half of its life after stopping at a green mountain.

Now that time has overlapped and memories have emerged, it only feels a faint burning pain in its trachea.

Ji An laughed and reached out to stroke the soft feathers on the sand goose's neck.

"Wherever the master goes, even if there are wind blades and frost swords ahead, as a beast, I will follow closely and even die.

You, on the other hand, may not be very capable, but the ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune is engraved in your bones. Let's go!"

The sand goose whinnied a few times and continued to fly forward reluctantly, its speed becoming slower and slower.

Ji An was so angry that he slapped his back hard, thinking that being too spiritual in taming beasts is not a good thing sometimes.

If you raise a combat beast in the future, choose one that is not afraid of death. It doesn't matter if it is smart, as long as it can really take on the task.

The beast felt pain and flapped its wings a little faster.

After a long time, Sha Yan landed in front of the gate of the Qingong Hall on the mountainside, looking exhausted, lying on the ground motionless.

The iron horses in front of the eaves of several halls rang out, playing a beautiful and resonant tune.

Ji An hurried to the Transmission Hall. The cultivator on guard was different today, but there was still a pile of jade slips on the table, and a jade slip was stuck on his forehead.

Can the librarian view most of the jade slips for free?

Envy welled up in his heart. After finding the jade slip for the Soul Sealing Technique in the spell area, he placed it on the table along with his identity jade token.
"Please, Senior Brother, exchange the spells."

Although the spiritual pressure emanating from the cultivator was strong, it was far inferior to that of Master Zhu. He should be a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

“It’s actually the Soul Sealing Technique. Without Chaoyuan Stage cultivation, I can only learn the basics of this technique.

It's a waste of time and not very useful, haha."

The monk took the jade token and deducted the corresponding contribution points. He picked up the jade slip again and placed it on his forehead, saying lightly:

"Copy it yourself."

Ji An took out a blank jade slip and copied the spell, then bowed slightly and turned to leave.

He walked slowly back to the Qinong Hall and saw that the sand goose was still lying on the ground pretending to be dead. He curled his lips and sneered, then turned around and walked into the hall.

After a few words with Ye Changqinghan, he spent a thousand contribution points to buy fifty communication swords.

After drinking a cup of tea and chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left:

"Brother, let's talk again someday. Remember to let me know when you've vacated the Scarlet Flame Peak."

"Don't worry, I won't forget my duty."

Ye Changqing shook his head and said, "It's true that I slept, but I never made any mistakes in the work I was supposed to do."

After walking out of the hall, Ji An came to the beast and saw that it still looked like a dead dog. He pinched it and flicked his fingers lightly, and a golden light sank into the soil next to its head.

Sha Yan suddenly felt a sharp flash, like a knife or an axe hitting him, and even though his body was covered with feathers, he still felt cold.

It was so frightened that its fur stood on end, and its eyes were wide open, but it didn't dare to move.

"It's time to fix it. Get up."

Ji An shouted, and the sand goose stood up straight with vigor and let out a flattering cry.

When it turned back the same way, it saw that it was the way back, so it flew fast and steadily.

Ji An picked up the jade slip of the Soul Sealing Technique and placed it on his forehead to read it with his spiritual sense. He was surprised by the huge amount of information contained in it.

In the past, the spell with the most information he had come across was the Thick Earth Returning to the Origin Curse. The formula and the insights of the predecessors added up to only five or six hundred words. The Soul Sealing Technique had tens of thousands of words, which exceeded his understanding of the formula and had more words than his martial arts skills.

It mentions the essence of the five elements' power, but the description is very obscure.

It explains the mutual generation and restraint among the five elements in a profound and abstruse way, and analyzes the principle of the ban in detail, which makes people feel overwhelmed when reading it.

At the end of the information is the main text of the magic formula of more than 300 words, without any experience or insights to refer to.

At the end is a friendly reminder:

'The divine will cannot be passed on; it all depends on one's own understanding. Those who understand will understand. If you haven't reached that level yet, it's useless to talk about it.

For cultivators below the Chao Yuan stage, please skip the theoretical basis and go directly to practicing the spells. You won't understand them anyway.

Remember! Remember!

After roughly browsing the information in the jade slip, Ji An was amused and confused by the evil taste of the jade slip, and complained in his heart:
"Skip the theoretical basis and go straight to practicing the spell. Shouldn't this tip be placed first?!"

The explanation of the spell mentioned that everything can be sealed, saying that not only can it seal the loss of vitality of spiritual plants, but when practiced to the highest depths it can seal the spiritual power of a Jindan cultivator, and even the spiritual veins can be sealed.

The explanation of the nature of the five elements is vague and ambiguous, and uses many metaphors, which greatly increases the difficulty of understanding the theory.

Ji An did not continue to study the theoretical basis of magic, but started to figure out the magic formulas.

Some things cannot be understood no matter how hard you try, just like an elementary school student who has just learned the multiplication tables trying to solve calculus, which is completely impossible.

When I have gathered ten Dao seeds, I can try to study the Soul Sealing Technique. The sound of geese chirping echoed, and when Ji An heard the beastmaster giving the signal to land, he realized with a start that he had returned to Ningcui Cliff.

After flying for nearly two hours, he still hadn't mastered the Soul Sealing Technique.

At this moment, he believed the words in the spell a little more.

A communication sword flashing with white light flew over from afar, and Ji An raised his hand to catch it.

After he felt the magical mark attached to it, he used his spiritual sense to read the information inside. The talisman sword came from Li Lingyu, inviting him to a small gathering in the other party's cave at the beginning of the Si hour three days later.

The message stated that Liu Yu and several others were going there, and they were discussing their future practice, so he was asked to try not to be absent.

Ji An nodded slightly. The news of his breakthrough to the foundation-building stage had not been sent out yet. It was time to show up and announce the good news.

He also wanted to ask what details he needed to pay attention to when moving into the cave, as the cave's magic formation must be replaced.

In the past, his realm was not high enough and it was difficult for him to force himself into the circle of the Foundation Establishment Stage. In the future, he should spend more time with his senior brothers and sisters, and keep closer contact with Zhang Yuanshan and others.

If you study alone without friends, you will be ignorant and uninformed. Apart from anything else, you will have more channels to obtain information.

The day when the sect distributes foundation-building pills is approaching, and Zhao Mengyao will be able to get one. With her superior qualifications, it will not be difficult for her to build a foundation.

By this calculation, he already has the foundation of a small circle in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Keep in touch in the future to maintain this network, which will also be a deterrent to those who are snooping.

Having embarrassed Zhu Qinghao and Chen Xingyun a few days ago, who knows what else they might do to trip him up.

Thinking of this, Ji An took out two communication swords, sent one to Li Lingyu, telling him that he would arrive on time; and sent the other to Zhang Yuanshan, asking whether the magic weapon that was consigned a few years ago had been sold. If not, he would pick it up tomorrow.

More than three years have passed, and it still cannot be sold. That means there is really no cultivator who is interested in it. It is better to take it away and sell it in the Immortal City.

An hour later, a communication sword from Zhang Yuanshan flew back, with only four words in the message: "The magic weapon is still there."

Ji An laughed and threw the talisman sword aside.

The sky gradually darkened, and before we knew it, the last ray of sunlight disappeared in the evening breeze, and the deep sky was shining with stars.

He hurriedly ate his meal and began to meditate and practice the Qingmu Changchun Gong. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed in his immortal veins, and the water and wood seeds in the acupoints lit up with a barely detectable spiritual light.

When the immortal veins could no longer withstand the long-term erosion of spiritual energy, Ji An took a short break and began to practice magic. He chose to practice the Sharp Gold Technique and the Golden Armor Technique.

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder and plans to practice these Qi Refining spells to the great perfection level before practicing the corresponding Foundation Establishment spells.

Prioritizing the acquisition of Dao seeds will give him some bonuses. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Now that he has enough mana to squander, he has more time to practice spells.

The stone turtle can absorb various kinds of spiritual energy in the Red Flame Peak. The three kinds of planting spells are often used in daily life. In addition to the improvement of refining spiritual energy, it can maintain a relatively fast progress.

Ji An decided to focus his main energy on metal magic, followed by fire magic.

This would help him improve his fighting ability quickly. For the time being, he did not plan to spend a lot of money to buy magical or spiritual weapons. He would use the remaining spirit stones to buy elixirs.

After the refinement during the foundation-building period, he felt that even if his aptitude had not reached the top level, it was not far off. Now his efficiency in refining spiritual energy had improved a lot, and the medicinal power wasted in taking pills was also several percent less than before the foundation-building period.

The efficiency of improving cultivation while taking elixirs is much faster than simply absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so you cannot stop taking the medicine.

The next day.

In the cave of Chitong Mountain, Zhang Yuanshan smiled gently and said:
“After only one month of joining the sect, Junior Brother had already mastered the Small Cloud and Rain Technique to a minor degree. I knew that Junior Brother was no ordinary person and would definitely soar to the sky.

Today, it seems that my vision was still very accurate."

After entering the sect for eleven years, he successfully established his foundation. This achievement is also very good among many family disciples.

What is even more admirable is that the other party relied on his own efforts to break through from the first level of Qi Refining and reach his current position.

He mentally switched his position with the other person's and felt that it was almost impossible for him to do this.

If no one helps, it will take a long time to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

"Brother, you are too kind. You are far inferior to me."

The two of them praised each other's business and became closer to each other.

"Junior Sister Zhao will be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill soon, and Junior Brother Chu He has also exchanged for the Foundation Establishment Pill. We can start to build our foundation in five years.

Among the monks who came out of the Qingsong Daoyuan in the same group, we are at the forefront. We should walk around more often and climb the avenue together."

Zhang Yuanshan said with great joy that the news of the outbreak of the demonic disaster had slowly spread among the higher-ups, and he had heard the news from his uncle.

He was well aware of the horror of the demonic disaster. If a full-scale war broke out, there would be no distinction between the front and the rear. Every cultivator in Xizhou would have to face this war.

The independent cultivators can hide in a place with thin spiritual energy, but the cultivators in the sect must fight for the interests of the sect.

Even if he is a weapon refiner, he would probably have to carry out combat missions against his will. He needs to make more friends with fellow disciples and help each other to overcome difficulties.

Ji An smiled and said:

"In a few months, I will hold a foundation-building ceremony. Junior Sister Zhao will also hold a ceremony after she completes her foundation. We can discuss our future cultivation at that time."

　Because the middle stage of Qi Refining is not considered to be a mainstream stage, the spiritual veins are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade and top-grade.

　　The first-level spiritual vein corresponds to the cave dwelling of the cultivator in the foundation-building stage, Chaoyuan corresponds to the second level, and the third-level spiritual objects that appeared in the previous chapters were modified to the second-level top-grade ones.
