Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 120 Ten Years
Chen Xingzhou looked up at the sky that seemed to be calcined, his eyes cold.

Tonight, Red Flame Peak erupted.

After tonight, the target will discover the secret that the Chen family is desperately trying to cover up. From now on, the family and the target will become completely hostile, with no room for easing.

At this moment, he was wondering whether there would be a different outcome if he had bypassed his clan brothers and attacked the target before he entered the Red Flame Peak.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head to dispel this weird idea.

Before the target entered Chiyan Peak, he had been hiding in Ningcui Cliff, which was the heartland of Jinling Sect.

The monks who carry out the attack must be determined to die. Outsiders who know they will die will not be willing to do so unless they send monks from their own family.

Those aging members of the clan were willing to burn their last lives for the family, but doing so would greatly increase the risk of exposure for the Chen clan, and the clan leader did not dare to take such a risk.

A look of loneliness and bitterness appeared on his face. He had never expected that his target was a person who was practicing hard in a cave and did not play by the rules.

In the one or two years after breaking through the foundation-building stage, shouldn't the cultivators visit friends everywhere and build up a new social circle?

The goal is to stay at home for a whole year, and many people in the sect may not know that there is such a person.

Countless red dots fell from the sky, drawing lines of fire, as if it was raining fire. They were blocks of lava erupted from the volcano.

It was as if thousands of stars had fallen, brightening the night sky.

A red light became brighter and brighter in Ji An's eyes. He estimated where the stone would fall and moved slightly to the side.

The lava gushing out from the top of the mountain flowed slowly and steadily downwards, but the volume of the Red Flame Peak was not large, and the flow stopped in less than an hour.

The color of the lava slowly changed from bright orange to dark. Ji An estimated that the lava was still about seventy or eighty feet away from the cave, and he immediately felt relieved.

Although there is a magic array blocking it, if the lava blocks the entrance to the cave, it will still be difficult to dig it out.

The restless spirit began to slowly calm down, but at this time the cave must be extremely hot, so Ji An prepared to return to the stone house in the cold pond to rest.

When he turned around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright red object lying next to him, and was slightly stunned.

He casually used the object control technique to catch the unknown object and identify it carefully.

"It's actually a Red Flame Crystal. What just fell from the sky wasn't a red-hot rock."

Ji An has now supplemented the basic knowledge of cultivating immortals. The red fire crystal is a first-grade top-grade spiritual object. Adding a small amount of it when refining a magic weapon can slightly enhance the magic weapon's fire attack.

This is the material for refining a first-grade, top-grade magical weapon. The pigeon egg-sized piece in my hand can be sold for twenty or thirty spirit stones.

The Red Fire Crystal is also one of the spiritual objects that the sect's foundation-building cultivators need to hand in to complete the mandatory tasks. In a few months, he must hand in the corresponding five-element spiritual objects to complete the sect's mandatory tasks.

Ji An smiled slightly. What could be more joyful than sitting at home and having money fall from the sky?

Moreover, this unexpected wealth is a gift from heaven and earth, so there is no need to worry that it is a gift from fate with a price tag.

He held the red fire crystal in his hand. It felt warm and had the texture of jade, but it was much harder than ordinary jade.

At this moment, Ji An had no intention of resting. He took out the beast-taming card and began to call the spirit-seeking rat. He wanted to search an area and roughly estimate how many good things had emerged with the eruption of the Earth Lung Fire Vein.

If the number is small, let Huang Feihu take the spirit-seeking rat to search for them tomorrow.

The inspiration has become more powerful these days. Huang Feihu, Liang Qiu and his gray-feathered sand geese have all run out to "take refuge".

The Soul-Seeking Rat is an earth-dwelling monster that can bury itself in the moist soil beside the cold pond, so it does not go out.

As soon as he had established spiritual communication with the Spirit-Seeking Rat through the Beast Taming Card, he felt the excitement coming from the Beast Tamer.

After a while, he saw the spirit-seeking rat running towards him on its hind legs, holding a piece of ore as big as a baby's fist.

Its golden brown hair was fluffy and spread out, gleaming softly in the moonlight.

"Squeak."

The spirit-seeking rat raised the ore above its head and made a cry to seek credit, full of pride.

Ji An picked up the ore and found it was a piece of red blood copper ore.

He put the ore into the storage bag, took out a spirit-feeding pill and threw it to the beastmaster, and then the man and the beast set out on a treasure hunt.

These spiritual creatures were scattered on the ground, full of spiritual energy, and the spirit-seeking rats could search for them very quickly.

Half an hour later, they had searched hundreds of acres of land.

Ji An's heart sank as he found too many spiritual objects.

Various ores and fire-based spiritual objects such as purple gold copper ore, flame heart iron ore, and even a piece of Lihuo crystal as big as a finger bone were found.

The Lihuo crystal is furnace red all over, and there seems to be liquid lava flowing inside.

This is a second-grade, top-grade spiritual object that can be used to refine spiritual tools for Chaoyuan-stage cultivators. It can only be produced deep in the Earth Lung Fire Vein.

Now, he completely understood why Chen Xingyun was willing to spend money to let him choose another cave dwelling, and he also figured out the cause and effect of his attack. Those people must have been sent by the Chen family.

The sect must be unaware that the eruption of the Earth Lung Fire Vein of Red Flame Peak can obtain so many spiritual objects, otherwise they would not rent them out.

The harvest of spiritual objects should have started after the Chen family rented the area. He had not even searched the area yet and had such a huge harvest. No wonder the Chen family wanted to kill him.

Cutting off someone's financial resources is like blocking their path. This grudge is huge and cannot be resolved.

Ji An was certain that even if he quit Chen's family and returned to Chiyan Peak, the relationship between them would not ease.

If they knew such a secret, they would feel like a thorn in their throat.

He had heard from nearby spiritual farmers that Scarlet Flame Peak erupted annually, meaning this source of wealth was endless. Should he report this to the sect?

He pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly. Even if the matter was reported to the sect, they would not be able to prove that the Chen family had assigned the robbers to kill him because all the clues were broken.

At that time, anyone with a discerning eye could see the suspicion of the Chen family, but it was impossible to completely overthrow the Chen family based on this, and the sect would not send anyone to serve as his bodyguard.

He took out a communication sword and entered the information:

'After the Earth Lung Fire Vein erupted, it caused damage to the mountain protection formation.

I need to reorganize the earth veins and place the array disk, temporarily seal off the Red Flame Peak, and notify you to return to the mountain after the task is completed.

Then, he activated the talisman sword and informed Huang Feihu.

The fewer people who know about the situation here, the better.

A fierce look appeared in Ji An's eyes. He sealed the Lihuo Crystal with the Soul Sealing Technique and continued to search for spiritual objects with the Soul-Seeking Rat.

It took him five days, and he and the Soul-Seeking Rat searched the area covered by the magic circle thoroughly, even the lava that overflowed and cooled was not spared.

As long as the Spirit-Seeking Rat can sense the possibility of the existence of a spiritual being inside, he will cast a spell to chisel away at the rock.

Geng Jin refers to this killing technique, which became his production magic for digging holes and breaking stones.

Apart from those priceless second-tier spiritual objects, Ji An's harvest could be sold for at least three to four thousand spirit stones.

If he had this kind of harvest every year, anyone who came to steal it would probably want to kill him.

Judging from the gains he has made in the past few days, he will always be in danger.

Now Ji An has completely given up on the idea of ​​reconciliation and decided to stay at Chiyan Peak and farm quietly to strengthen himself.

It's just a matter of training the eagles to see who can't stand it first.

Because of the existence of the stone turtle, his growth rate is beyond everyone's expectations.

By the time he started going out, it meant that he had the ability to protect himself.

In the stone house beside the cold pond, Ji An was sipping spiritual tea, looking like he was troubled.

After drinking half a cup of tea, he laughed at himself and said:
"Ever since I was attacked by robbers last time, I've always felt uneasy.

The Red Flame Peak has been erupting these past few days, making me even more uneasy.

Feihu, I will no longer go out to cast spells and plant the spiritual fields we have reclaimed. You can do the planting."

This was a decision he made after careful consideration. For this, he gave up the income from one hundred acres of talisman grass every year, which amounted to about three thousand spirit stones every year.

Apart from getting some second-level spiritual objects every year, he did not gain any extra spiritual stones.

"Okay, I know."

Huang Feihu felt a little bitter. He was completely unable to take care of so many spiritual fields. If he hired someone to take care of them, the profit would be very little.

In the past, when he was helping to take care of the spiritual fields, he was mainly responsible for harvesting talisman grass and making talismans. According to the previous agreement, he could earn an average of thirty to forty spirit stones every month, which was much more profitable than growing the crops by himself.

He felt that Ji An was too cautious. This was the sect's location. After the last incident, monks from the Law Enforcement Hall came to inspect every once in a while.

"I have already informed Fellow Daoist Wei that the talisman paper trade will be cancelled and only talisman seals will be traded. I will purchase mid-grade talisman paper from you."

Ji An paused and continued:
"When you hire someone to do a job in the future, don't hire someone unless they are a familiar face."

Since the contradiction is irreconcilable, he will not be optimistic.

The leaves turn yellow and then green, and then green and then yellow again.

In the cave, Chen Xingzhou said with a complicated expression:

"Myna, is Ji An a tortoise? He hasn't moved from his nest in ten years.

Hundreds of the birds we sent out to monitor Scarlet Flame Peak have been killed by other predators, yet they've never been spotted leaving."

He had expected that the target would be very cautious after obtaining the spiritual object that appeared with the eruption of Red Flame Peak, but he did not expect that he would be so cautious.

He has been guarding the Red Flame Peak day after day for ten years, and no longer goes out a few miles to plant spiritual fields.

They made a lot of preparations and purchased a large number of disposable fire thunder weapons just to break the thick fog.

If they were given another chance, they would definitely succeed, but they couldn't find any chance at all.

Chen Xingyun's expression was equally complicated. He sighed and said:
"The target is a spiritual farmer, and the sect mission he accepted is to burn spiritual charcoal and raise spiritual fish.

I have checked privately, and he completed the task very well. The quality of the spiritual charcoal is higher than before, and the alchemists are very satisfied.

The only chance of forcing him to go out is the mandatory task of handing in spiritual objects, but these spiritual objects can be obtained when the Red Flame Peak erupts.

The only thing we can do now is to bide our time.”

"It's been ten years. How many more decades can we have? You have to think of a way. If there is no opportunity, create one."

Chen Xingyun bared his teeth and said:

"I heard from Zhu Qinghao that Ji An even repeatedly declined his master's summons. What opportunities can I create?
But his good days are almost over. I heard from Master that the sect is brewing a major plan, which will require a large number of cultivators to go to the heart of the Hundred Thousand Mountains to carry out missions."

"Ji An has been building his foundation for many years, and his position is not very important. He will definitely be called up by the sect when the time comes."
