Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 111: Fairy City Transaction
When we left Zizhu Mountain, half of the sunset had already sunk into the distant mountains.

The mountains looked like golden Buddha statues, reflected in Ji An's eyes.

The splendor is as short-lived as fireworks. When the last ray of light disappears, the world merges into the night, and the winding and undulating mountains and forests seem to have turned into demons with bared fangs and claws.

The world has not changed, but with the alternation of light and darkness, it becomes completely different in people's hearts.

The moonlight seemed a little hazy as if obscured by floating clouds, but the stars were shining brightly. Ji An returned to Ningcui Cliff under the fading moonlight.

The banquet lasted from noon to evening, so there was no need to cook. He pinched the magic formula to open the magic ban, returned to the bamboo building, and immediately sat on the cushion and began to practice the skills.

Cultivation is accumulated bit by bit through hard work day and night, there is no shortcut.

Those cultivators with high qualifications can refine spiritual power faster and rarely encounter bottlenecks, which is really enviable.

The spiritual food and wine that was eaten were quickly refined, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was drawn in and slowly gathered towards the bamboo building.

Spiritual power flows in the immortal veins, the Tao seeds flash with light as the spiritual power passes through, and a wonderful feeling flows through the body.

From today's communication, I learned that both the Water and Wood Element Kung Fu are good at nourishing the immortal meridians, and the time spent in meditation each time is slightly longer than that of people who practice other Kung Fu.

When Ji An opened his eyes again, it was already midnight.

At this time, the moon was hanging in the middle of the sky, the clouds had parted and the moon was bright. The clear and cold light penetrated into the bamboo building through the window lattice, leaving white silver spots on the wall.

The light is not strong, but it is extremely bright in the darkness.

"Why do I feel like time is running out?"

Ji An sighed and thought seriously, a day would pass by after meditating a few times.

After moving into the cave, I will have to plant and maintain spiritual trees every day, and time will probably become increasingly tight.

He was wondering when he could stop caring about all these trivial matters, enjoy the sect's support and focus on improving his cultivation.

It is only possible if you become a cultivator at least in the Chaoyuan stage, or become a Jindan ancestor of the sect to be truly free.

Shaking his head gently to dispel this unrealistic idea, Ji An took out the jade slip of the soul-sealing technique and placed it on his forehead, silently reciting the spell several times.

He has not yet mastered this spell, but he is not in a hurry. There are still several months before transplanting the spiritual fruit tree, so he can take it slow.

Now he spends two quarters of an hour on it every morning and evening. After reciting the formula several times, he starts to practice. Although he has never succeeded in casting the spell, he makes some progress every day.

The difficulty of the spell lies in the need to stimulate the five elements of spiritual energy in sequence, and there must be no mistakes in the connection of the spiritual energy, which places high demands on spiritual consciousness.

Ji An was calm, continuously casting spells and correcting mistakes. When the faint spiritual light containing five colors gathered in his hands and finally condensed into shape in the void, he woke up from his dream and the soul-sealing technique was successful!

The spiritual light slowly dissipated, as if it had never existed.

He closed his eyes and carefully recalled the fluctuations of spiritual energy when he cast the spell just now. After a moment, he pinched the magic formula with his right hand, and his fingers flew and changed the magic seals, drawing mysterious tracks.

The five colors of light, blue, red, yellow, white and black, formed a circle with a light color, like glass placed in clear water, which could not be detected without careful observation.

Ji An smiled, knowing that learning magic depended entirely on his own understanding and knowledge.

He sank his mind into his dantian, and the stone turtle's carapace shone with a green light.

[Spell: Soul Sealing Technique (1% for beginners)]

He tried to give the order:

"Refine the spiritual energy and improve the soul sealing technique."

"Without the Qian and Dui spirits, I cannot improve my magic comprehension."

Ji An felt relieved. As long as he could refine the spiritual energy and improve himself, he would be able to make a huge improvement once he had accumulated enough spiritual energy.

Master once said that the entry-level soul-sealing technique is enough, so there is no need to improve it. The spiritual power should be used to the best effect.

Ji An began to practice the Sharp Gold Technique, Golden Armor Technique and Explosive Flame Technique for a while, and only stopped and fell asleep after midnight.

He practiced the exercises to improve his cultivation, practiced spells, and went to the medicine garden and spiritual field every day. Half a month passed in a hurry.

The talisman grass and green corn in the spiritual field have been harvested. With the help of the foundation-building level planting spells, the growth cycle of these low-level spiritual plants has been shortened by more than ten days.

The quality of the talisman grass has not improved compared to before, it must have reached the limit of the species.

The output of green corn has increased by 30%, the spiritual energy it contains has increased slightly, and the taste is better than before.

Tomorrow is the day when the sect's flying boat will head to Qingyun Fairy City. After practicing his magic, Ji An sent a communication sword to inform Li Lingyu.

He brought a recliner and sat in the evening breeze, enjoying a moment of leisure.

Ji An and his companion took a flying boat to Qingyun Fairy City. The treatment they enjoyed now was different from before. They did not need to pay spirit stones and sat in the cabin chatting with the senior brothers on duty.

The two first found a weapon refining shop to dispose of a first-grade top-grade flying sword and obtained 180 spirit stones.

Each of them took half of the spirit stones and walked out of the weapon refining shop.

Li Lingyu weighed the storage bag and sighed softly:
"Isn't it that the robbery cultivators continue to exist despite repeated bans? The cultivator from the weapon refining shop has brought us so much profit!
If all of it were sold as spirit stones, each person would get seven or eight hundred.

After tasting the sweetness, who would still be willing to honestly accumulate resources? "

Ji An shook his head slightly:

"The feeling of getting something for nothing is addictive. A good swimmer drowns, a good fighter dies in battle. There will always be times when you fail.

If all cultivators thought this way, the world of cultivation would be in chaos.

I think being able to maintain one's bottom line is also a process of self-cultivation.

We are masters of power, not slaves to it."

Only a stable order can ensure the world's continuous progress. Otherwise, if you kill me today and I kill you tomorrow, how can we have time to practice, let alone achieve immortality? "Huh, you've even learned to preach. I was just sighing.

If the world of immortal cultivation truly becomes a world of naked survival of the fittest, then we will become the food for those above us. How would that be any different from demonic cultivation?"

Ji An chewed on the word "demon cultivator" and sighed in his heart.

Demonic cultivators are the common enemy of all living beings, including humans, monsters, ghosts, etc. They plunder the blood, energy, and souls of living beings. In their eyes, all flesh and blood and souls are nourishment.

There have been several demonic disasters in the world of immortal cultivation, and the turmoil caused was much more severe than the demon disaster.

Faced with the Demonic Tribulation, all forces put aside their hatred and fought together against the enemy, which shows how vicious the Demonic Tribulation was.

"Let's go, what are you doing? Come with me to buy some herbs first."

"Let's go, I'll buy some herbs to prepare the Soul-Feeding Pills.

Now that the foundation has been established, the level of the two beast masters must also be raised. Otherwise, they will not be able to keep up with my pace and will be gradually eliminated."

The two of them walked around the medicinal material section and each bought some of the spiritual medicine they needed.

Then they went to the formation area, and Ji An bought a set of inverted five elements formation to protect the cave.

It was getting late, so the two went back to rest.

On the second day, Ji An and his companions went to the Talisman District, said hello to the cooperating store, and suspended the cooperation.

Seeing that he had become a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the shop owners congratulated him and expressed that they could have more extensive cooperation in the future.

"Congratulations, Brother Ji has successfully established his foundation at such a young age. Your future is limitless. This puts us old folks to shame."

The disappointment in Pang Mingde's eyes flashed away. Although the other party was selling relatively rare talismans, his craftsmanship was good, and the volume of sales seemed to be large. He had cooperation with many stores and even had dealings with Baofu Pavilion.

He once had feelings for this talisman maker and added some personal items to the spirit stones he gave him, so that he could locate the position of the spirit stones through secret methods.

However, the other party had never acted alone. When leaving, he always took the Jinling Sect's flying boat and had never visited the small markets around the fairy city, leaving him no chance at all.

Later, when the other party was doing the transaction, he thought the other party had noticed it, but he was relieved when the monk who did it said that the other party was under house arrest because he became a disciple.

The cultivator who helped with the transaction left the Immortal City on a talisman bird. He thought it was an opportunity, but when he saw twenty or thirty sect disciples in the late Qi training stage traveling together, he was powerless even if he wanted to take action.

Now the other party is building the foundation, and I am only at the second level. I will not have another chance.

"There will be opportunities for cooperation in the future," Ji An smiled and said goodbye.

After walking a long way, Li Lingyu said:

"I always feel that the owner of this Pang's Treasure Talisman Shop has a sinister aura and doesn't seem like a good person."

Baofu Pavilion.

The maid brought three cups of spiritual tea, and Yin Lingsu raised her hand to invite:

"My two fellow Taoists are honored to have you here. Our humble shop is truly blessed. Please enjoy this cup of 'Green Snail Spring'."

I was wondering why Fellow Daoist Ji always asked others to do the business for him in recent years. It turns out he was preparing for the foundation building process.

Her eyes lingered on the two people opposite her, and she nodded slightly.

In the past few years, she has seen many young Foundation Establishment cultivators appear in the Jinling Sect, and she secretly thought that the Jinling Sect was showing signs of prosperity.

For major forces in Western Continent, it is a good thing for allies to be strong, but it is not a good thing if they are too strong.

Now it is a critical moment for the Jinling Sect to cultivate its spiritual veins. If their spiritual veins are cultivated to the third level, it will definitely pose a threat to Luofeng Valley's status after the demon disaster.

Li Lingyu picked up the teacup. The spiritual tea inside was as green and clear as emerald green, and its faint fragrance filled the room.

She took a sip and nodded.

"The tea has a delicate aroma but a sweet aftertaste. It is a first-class, high-quality tea."

Ji An also picked up the teacup and took a sip, echoing:
"Good tea."

He didn't receive such treatment when he came to trade before.

After the greetings, Yin Lingsu smiled and said:

"Just now, Fellow Daoist Ji said that the transaction has been suspended, but your skill in making talismans should not be abandoned. I wonder when the transaction will be resumed?"

A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can draw first-grade, superior, and top-grade talismans. Due to the decrease in the number of talisman makers, high-quality talismans are becoming even more scarce.

"The time is undetermined. Even if the transaction resumes, I will probably continue to sell mid-grade talismans."

Ji An shook his head slightly and said:

"Practicing magic takes time. If you can't comprehend the magic to a high level, the talismans you draw will have no power.

At any time, if the quality of the talisman is not good, it will be difficult to make a profit, and you may even lose money."

"That's true," Yin Lingsu agreed.

No matter how profitable an industry is, if the craftsmen don't have good skills, they won't be able to survive and will be squeezed out.

After chatting for a while, Ji An and the others said goodbye.

He went to the sect's weapon refining shop and bought a flying shuttle magic weapon, two spirit beast bags and a larger storage bag. Zhang Yuanshan didn't know how to refine these things, so he had to buy them from the sect's shop.

But after all, we are from the same clan, so I gave him a 5% discount.
