Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 109 Demon Cultivator
Purple Tear Bamboo is a first-grade, top-grade spiritual wood. Purple Bamboo Mountain got its name from the large number of purple tear bamboos planted there.

It is said that in the core area of ​​this spiritual vein there are several first-grade, top-grade spiritual bamboos with deep roots.

If the sect's spiritual vein is successfully upgraded, perhaps the mother bamboo can become a second-level spiritual bamboo.

As soon as he entered the coverage of the Purple Bamboo Mountain magic circle, Ji An felt the wood element spiritual energy that was more pure and spiritual than other areas, and it seemed that the magic power in his body also became more active.

He knew that this was because the Qingmu Changchun Gong he practiced was closer to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He couldn't help but wonder whether his decision to move to Chiyan Peak was hasty, after all, he had not made a real comparison.

The communication sword was activated and flew to the top of the mountain. Li Lingyu's cave was there. She also practiced the Qingmu Changchun Gong, so she chose the cave in Zizhu Mountain.

A moment later, a clear cry of a crane was heard, and Ji An saw Li Lingyu in a light green silk dress flying towards him quickly.

The grey-feathered sand goose sang loudly, not wanting to be outdone. Ji An patted the beastmaster's head, wondering what was wrong with him.

Li Lingyu controlled the beast to land, and the Qingyu Crane circled and fell gracefully.

Her beautiful eyes blinked, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her snow-white cheeks revealed a faint dimple:

“A few days ago, I calculated the time and felt that Junior Brother should be able to establish his foundation. When I saw him today, he had indeed succeeded.

Congratulations! Looks like I have to give back the gifts I received a few years ago.”

"Senior sister doesn't seem surprised," Ji An felt that he didn't get the pleasure of showing off. Shouldn't you ask me how I built my foundation?

Li Lingyu covered her mouth and chuckled, saying:

"Junior brother, I know that Master's medicine garden has several main herbs for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and a few of them happened to mature a few years ago.

My master started refining the foundation-building pill and gave me one, so I could build my foundation ahead of time.

Otherwise, I need to wait for the Foundation Establishment Pill to be exchanged from the sect, which means I can only get the Foundation Establishment Pill this year.

"Since Master has bestowed upon me one, isn't it normal for him to leave one for his junior brother?"

"We are both lucky," Ji An laughed twice.

"The other brothers and sisters have already arrived. Don't keep them waiting. Please follow me."

Li Lingyu urged the beast to fly up, her clothes fluttering, like a fairy descending to the earth.

A clump of crisp green bamboos as thick as a thumb half-covered the entrance to the cave. The bamboo bark was covered with purple spots in the shape of water droplets, like human tears.

Inside the cave, Du Huaiyuan rolled up his sleeves and broke the seal on the wine jar, and the aroma of wine immediately filled the air.

"Come, come, try the spiritual wine I brewed. This kind of spiritual wine can improve the cultivation of cultivators in the early stage of foundation building.

Although it only worked the first few times, it's still a rare gem."

Instead of using a wine glass, he found a few large porcelain bowls and poured five full bowls.

The emerald green wine ripples slightly, just like the rippling green water in a secluded mountain pool.

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Using a bowl to hold the spirit wine is grand and majestic, but it seems to lose a bit of the fairy spirit."

"It's true that she has lost her immortal aura," Li Lingyu and Mu Qingwan both nodded in agreement.

"What is an immortal? I think drinking and singing under the moon is what an immortal is."

Du Huaiyuan laughed heartily. For him, he could tolerate not taking any pills for cultivation for ten days or half a month, but he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't have a drink of spiritual wine for three to five days.

"I often wonder what the purpose of our cultivation is, is it for immortality?

But what about immortality? I don't understand the meaning of longevity gained through daily hard work.

In my opinion, digging up a bottle of fine wine buried underground and drinking it after several years is more refreshing than improving one's cultivation."

Ji An smelled the aroma of wine in the room and said with a smile:
"Improving your cultivation can help you live longer. I've heard that some fine wines need to be slowly fermented for hundreds of years to achieve the best taste and effect.

Brother, if you want to enjoy your homemade spirit wine at its most fragrant, you must work hard to improve your cultivation."

He didn't know what the meaning of immortality was, but he knew that even if it had no meaning, he could still find some meaning to entertain himself.

In the previous world, human lifespans of a hundred years would vanish into thin air, and everything would become empty.

Here, the lifespan of the Foundation Establishment Stage is 200 years, the Chao Yuan Stage is 500 years, and the Golden Core Stage is 1,000 years.

If one advances to the Golden Elixir stage, it is equivalent to watching the rise and fall of several dynasties in the previous life.

Ji An thought that the principle of lifespan was the same as that of always having Biyuntao. You could have a lot of it and not use it, but you would not have it when you couldn't use it.

"Haha, that's true. Junior Brother Ji, congratulations on successfully building your foundation. Let's go! Let's drink together!"

Du Huaiyuan had a smile in his eyes. He picked up the bowl, raised his head, and drank the whole bowl of spirit wine in a few gulps.

Ji An took a sip first, feeling the clear wine with the faint fragrance of spiritual fruit spreading in his throat, and then swallowed it.

A warm current rose from the lower abdomen, and the spiritual power contained in the wine automatically flowed through the immortal veins.

He felt it carefully and found that his magic power had indeed increased a little.

"Good wine."

"Good wine, of course."

The alcohol content of the wine was quite high, and after drinking half a bowl, Ji An felt slightly tipsy.

He practiced his skills to speed up the refining of the spiritual wine, and the haziness in his eyes dissipated and became clear again.

The conversation started, and they talked about each other's cultivation and their own skills. Li Lingyu, Mu Qingwan, and Du Huaiyuan were all alchemists, and they talked about their experiences in fire and water alchemy.

Ji An looked around and said with a smile:

"Senior Brother Liu, I've never known what immortal cultivation techniques you've mastered. Could you please tell me?"

Liu Yu shook his head slightly, his eyes flashing with distant mountains:

“I have never practiced any immortal cultivation techniques. I have now joined the Law Enforcement Hall and am on a mission to hunt monsters and hone my fighting skills.

When I was young, I once saw a swordsman who swept his sword across the sky, forcing several powerful monsters to flee in all directions. He killed the monsters one by one with his sword while chatting and laughing. I was fascinated by it.

I have studied swordsmanship for several years but have yet to comprehend the sword energy, so I can only give up for now."

Ji An grinned. If one wanted to become a sword cultivator, comprehending sword energy was the foundation. It was said that those sword cultivators with high aptitude could comprehend sword energy in a few months at the fastest and a year at the slowest.

Du Huaiyuan heard their conversation and said:
"The strongest in fighting techniques are cultivators who practice the metal and fire techniques. What technique do you practice, senior brother?"

"Scorching Sun Furnace Scroll."

When Ji An heard that Senior Brother Liu, who was as gentle as jade and easy-going, had chosen the explosive fire-based martial arts, he felt a strong sense of contrast in his heart.

The sect has two fire-based exercises that can directly reach the Chaoyuan period, namely the Red Fire Danxia Exercise and the Fiery Sun Furnace Scroll. The Red Fire Danxia Exercise is more peaceful. Mu Qingwan is practicing this method, which is said to be beneficial for alchemy.

The Fiery Sun Furnace Scroll appears magnificent and domineering, and the magic power cultivated is characterized by instant brilliance and explosive power.

Liu Yu paused and said softly:
“There’s no such thing as the most powerful martial arts technique for fighting. A martial arts technique is truly powerful only when it’s paired with the right spells.

Most water magic spells are gentle, but there are also water magic spells that are as surging as a river.

If one can practice magic to the level of a waterfall with waves surging from the sky, the cultivator who practices water-based skills will be able to completely defeat the cultivator who practices fire-based skills.

It can only be said that, relatively speaking, cultivators who practice fire and metal techniques are more lethal."

"Brother, are you trying to comfort me? Actually, there's no need. I know myself well."

Du Huaiyuan laughed loudly. He was practicing the water-based martial arts.

Liu Yu smiled and continued:
“My purpose in entering the Law Enforcement Hall to hone my fighting skills is to prepare for the Three Sects’ Battle.

I haven't practiced any cultivation techniques, and I can barely maintain my practice with the income from hunting monsters and completing missions.

If you can win a few battles for the sect, the sect will grant you a large amount of contribution points, elixirs, spiritual tools, and other goodies, allowing you to cultivate more peacefully."

The three major sects in Xizhou took the lead in establishing Qingyun Immortal City, but there were disputes over the distribution of benefits.

In order to avoid damaging the relationship, the ancestors of each sect agreed to hold a competition every sixty years to distribute the disputed interests.

Ji An raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:
"How many years will the three sects' competition last?"

Only those who are at the Foundation Establishment stage and above have the right to interfere in the duel. He only learned about it a few days ago when Ye Changqing mentioned it, but the other party didn't remember the time of the duel very clearly.

He did not learn such an important thing from his master, probably because the other party felt that he, a spiritual farmer, was not worthy of knowing it.

It is said that when the rules of the competition were first formulated, the ancestors of each sect were still in the Chaoyuan period.

Perhaps because they were afraid of getting into a fight themselves and getting into trouble, or perhaps because they were afraid of losing face after losing, the ancestors unanimously decided to let the disciples in the foundation-building stage fight, dividing them into three groups: the early, middle, and late stages of foundation building, and restricting the use of talismans.

"After eighteen years, there will be a three-sect competition, and after fifteen years, there will be a sect selection. The sect's Chaoyuan-level uncles will train the selected cultivators.

In fifteen years, I should be able to advance to the third level of foundation building, and it won’t be difficult to grab a spot in the initial stage of foundation building.”

Liu Yu still smiled and spoke calmly, obviously having strong confidence.

"Master's disciples have never been so strong in fighting. If Senior Brother can participate in the battle, Master will be honored."

Mu Qingwan smiled gently, with a faint light flickering in her eyes.

Liu Yu smiled and shook his head:

“Participating in a competition doesn’t count as bringing honor to Master, winning does.

If I get beaten up in the arena, I'll probably be scolded by my master when I return to the sect, and I'll be embarrassed."

Several people burst into laughter, and Mu Qingwan even covered her mouth with her hands and smiled coquettishly.

Ji An felt that he should be qualified to participate in the competition by then. The stone turtle had absorbed inspiration for more than ten years, and coupled with his own hard practice, there was a great possibility that he could practice the fighting magic to perfection.

Liu Yu and the others stopped smiling and said:

"My fellow junior brothers and sisters, besides practicing, you must not lose your ability to fight.

A few days ago, a senior brother who was on a mission at a field base came back to report that he had captured a demon cultivator, which attracted the attention of the Law Enforcement Hall.

We are preparing for the coming of the demonic disaster, and those great demons are also infiltrating and sabotaging human forces."

In order to gain greater strength, some cultivators refine the essence and blood of powerful monsters into their bodies as blood marrow, tempering and cultivating it every day, replacing human blood with beast blood, and their internal organs and bones will also mutate.

When the practice is complete, you will have the strong physique of a monster beast and can also transform into a monster body.

These cultivators gradually lost their humanity, and their behavior and thinking became similar to those of monsters. Only a very few of them were able to maintain a clear mind.

Demon cultivators once caused great harm to the world of immortal cultivation. Later, human forces united to eliminate the demon cultivators. The strong ones among the demon cultivators ran to the realm of demon beasts and cooperated with the big demons.

Now, demon cultivators are synonymous with traitors.
