Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 125: Summons from the Law Enforcement Hall

Seeing the serious expression on his master's face, Ji An was frightened.

Some things don't weigh more than four ounces if they are not weighed, but if they are weighed, they weigh more than a thousand pounds.

The eruption of the Earth Lung Fire Vein carries spiritual objects, which should belong to the sect, not him.

If he had reported it to the sect when he first discovered it, the sect would not have confiscated his gains and would have given him a reward. However, he would not have received any benefits in the future and Chen would probably have been held accountable.

Things have come to this point, and I don’t know if they can be remedied.

Ge Ying did not urge him, waiting for his disciple to confess himself.

At this moment, she couldn't figure out where this disciple got these things from. She heard from Li Lingyu that some alchemists called him "Stone Turtle Monk".

No matter how cold and windy it was outside, the other party remained motionless and never left Chiyan Peak.

Ji An calmed down and recounted the cause of the incident:
“After settling into the cave, the Red Flame Peak erupted at night. All these spiritual objects that I obtained were obtained after the volcanic eruption.

Now that I think about it, it was because I couldn't control my greed that I made such a mistake. I am currently debating how and when to report this to the sect."

He did not sugarcoat anything and simply told the general facts.

Ge Ying's eyes darkened, and he slowly spoke:

“If you report your first spiritual object harvest, the sect will give you a great reward.

It's been ten years since the incident, and you're breaking a taboo by doing this.

When it comes to high-level resources like second-grade top-grade spiritual objects, reporting it to the sect will inevitably lead to inquiries.

If the sect finds out that you have been hiding this for so many years, it will be difficult for you to be trained as a true core, and you may even be sent to the mines to do years of hard labor.

I need to think carefully about how to handle this better."

The two fell into silence, and the only sound was the buzzing of bees' wings.

Ji An felt tormented in his heart, and the air seemed to become heavy. If he was expelled from Chiyan Peak, the loss would be too great.

Ge Ying suddenly looked up, her frown slightly relaxed:
"When I first broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Scarlet Flame Peak rarely erupted, but it has erupted frequently in recent years. Do you know why?"

"I don't know."

"Decades ago, the sect's cultivation of spiritual veins reached a critical moment. The changes in the spiritual energy in the main vein affected the branch veins.

Since Chiyan Peak is a place where many earth veins converge, the collision of spiritual ideas is even more intense.

If my predictions are correct, once the spiritual energy stabilizes, the Red Flame Peak will return to its previous state of occasional eruptions over the years, and I don't think any spiritual objects will emerge during the eruptions."

In other words, if I don’t talk about this today, it’s very likely that it will pass by itself in a few years?

Ji An was speechless and scratched his scalp a few times.

Ge Ying's eyes were deep and her voice was calm:
"Now, what are you going to do?"

"Report it to the sect. I accept whatever the outcome is."

Ji An could sense how deep his master's feelings for the sect were. Now that the matter had been made clear, he could no longer shrink back.

Ge Ying snorted coldly, walked forward a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said solemnly:
“As practitioners, we must not only focus on improving our cultivation, but also stay true to our original intentions. Sometimes, a wrong step can lead to eternal damnation.

After this matter is dealt with, go back and reflect on yourself."

"Thank you, Master," Ji An sighed. What had he been trying to achieve all these years?
The two began to talk about planting, and he answered the master's questions fluently.

The atmosphere gradually relaxed and the sky gradually darkened.

Ge Ying pointed at the old tree, her tone a little sad:

"This second-grade, top-grade spiritual peach tree is over two thousand years old. Like me, it's nearing the end of its lifespan.

Maybe after it bears fruit once more, it will slowly wither away.”

"Second-grade, top-grade spiritual peaches are of great benefit to Chaoyuan-stage cultivators who practice fire and wood-attributed techniques. They can comprehend the principle of the mutual generation of wood and fire from them.

If it withers, the sect's heritage will be diminished."

"The one next to it has reached the second-grade upper-grade level, but I don't know if I have the ability to cultivate it to the second-grade ultimate level."

She has lived in Ningcui Cliff for more than a hundred years, and she has devoted a lot of effort to these two spiritual trees.

Life and death have their own laws. Her ability is not enough to save herself who is entering old age, nor can she save the spiritual tree that has exhausted its vitality and is about to wither.

Sometimes when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would always wonder whether she had the spiritual tree of Changchun and whether her cultivation of immortality had an end.

Ji An smiled slightly and said:

"With Master's cultivation attainments, as long as this spiritual peach has the potential to be a second-grade top-grade peach, it will definitely be cultivated to the top-grade level."

"You are good at talking, but it would be better if you could be more reliable in doing things."

"I will keep this incident in mind and reflect on it every day."

At this time, Ji An's mentality has calmed down. He accepts what cannot be changed and uses his previous behavior to warn himself, but he does not regret his past choices.

No matter when or who you are, the only thing you can grasp is the present.

The sky had already darkened completely, the bright moon had not yet risen, and the stars shone brightly like the sea.

Ge Ying nodded slightly and said:
“Among the sect’s high-level spiritual farmers, only Junior Brother Lin Mao and I are capable of cultivating these two spiritual trees.

After I become immortal, he should be the one to take over Ningcui Cliff.

By then, Junior Brother Lin will be 180 years old, with only 60 to 70 years left to live. I believe you will be fully capable of taking over his position."

Ji An replied solemnly:

"If I have the ability, I will do it without hesitation." The two came out of the medicine garden. The maid came forward gracefully, holding a golden talisman sword in her hand.
"Uncle Master, this is the golden sword sent by the sect."

Whether it is the communication sword or the communication golden sword, it requires the corresponding magic mark to open. If it is forcibly opened, the information in the sword will self-destruct.

Ge Ying took the talisman sword, probed his spiritual sense into it, and his expression changed from gloomy to bright.

After a few moments of silence, she turned around and asked:

"How long until the next eruption of Scarlet Flame Peak?"

Hearing the nonsensical question, Ji An was slightly surprised and said:

"About three months."

"I have to say, you are very lucky. I will go back with you tomorrow."

Ji An didn't know what happened. His master didn't tell him and he didn't ask.

The next day, Ji An took his master back to Chiyan Peak on a shuttle.

He used some magic formula to open the portal and landed beside the cold pond.

"Master, please take a seat first. I will order the spiritual food to be prepared."

Ge Ying waved her hand and said:

"No need to sit down. Just walk around with me."

She wanted to test the extent to which her disciples had cultivated these spiritual trees.

"Okay, I was thinking of showing Master around after we finish eating the spiritual food."

Ji An agreed, and then he saw Liang Qiu trotting over, holding a golden sword for communication:
"Uncle Master, the communication sword talisman sent yesterday evening."

Reaching out to take it, Ji An nodded slightly:
"Understood, Fellow Daoist Liang, please go and cook a table of spiritual food. Try to use as much of the ingredients we have here. I want to entertain Master."

"As you wish," Liang Qiu bowed and took his leave.

Ji An's consciousness probed into the talisman sword, and the information inside came from the sect's law enforcement hall:
"Three days later, each peak and each hall will open the magic circle and guard the gates. If there is any movement, do not panic."

After Liang Qiu walked away, Ge Ying asked in surprise:
"Why do you call this disciple 'Daoyou'?"

Ji An hummed twice, cleared his throat, and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Liangqiu and I have known each other since childhood. We met when we were cultivating spiritual fields in Bishui Lake. He is good at breeding spiritual fish.

After settling in Chiyan Peak, I contracted the entire mountain. There was a cold pond here that needed to be taken care of, so I invited the other party to come and raise spirit fish.

Not only him, there is also Huang Feihu, a fellow Daoist Huang, whom I met at Bishui Lake. I asked him to help take care of the chores and cultivate the spiritual fields."

Ge Ying nodded slightly. The disciple was quite nostalgic, which was considered an advantage.

"Master, how about we take a walk around the Cold Pond first, and then take the shuttle around Scarlet Flame Peak?"

Ji An understood the master's intention of taking a walk, which was exactly what he wanted, as it was a good opportunity to show off his abilities.

"That's it."

The two walked together, and Ji An began to share the training experience he had learned over the years.

After looking at the elixir, he summoned the flying shuttle and began to fly slowly around the Red Flame Peak.

"I've left thirty acres of this red cloud pine uncut. The pine nuts I roast are all picked from the cones of the old pines."

While controlling the movement of the shuttle, he pinched the magic formula and used all his strength to perform the Green Wood Transformation Technique. Light rain fell all over the sky, like a beautiful dream.

Daytime is not a good time to cast spells, but the purpose now is to show off his "muscles" and attract the master's further attention so that he can say a few good words when reporting the situation of the sect's Red Flame Peak.

Ge Ying's face was slightly moved. Judging from the fluctuations of magic power and the abundant inspiration contained in it, the disciple's magic skills had reached the perfect level.

This speed of progress is definitely not something that an ordinary spiritual farmer who has been building his foundation for ten years can achieve. It is much better than she was back then.

She knew this disciple's understanding of water and earth magic, but she didn't expect that he also had such a strong understanding of wood magic.

Choosing the Wood Element Kung Fu and burying his talent, it seems that after building his foundation, he should have spent most of his time practicing the Green Wood Transformation Kung Fu.

She praised lightly, "You have a good grasp of the spell."

"Hehe, Master, please continue to enjoy my performance."

Ji An lowered the shuttle's altitude, pinched his fingers and activated the Thick Earth Returning Origin Mantra, and the warm yellow spiritual light sparkled in the sunlight.

"What, the perfect level of the Thick Earth Returning to Origin Mantra?!"

Ge Ying was shocked and could no longer maintain composure on her face. She had a great talent for planting, but her disciple had completely surpassed her in the mastery of planting techniques.

Ji An urged the shuttle forward, constantly introducing the conditions of each piece of spiritual wood and casting spells from time to time.

When he returned to the vicinity of the cold pond after circling a circle, he said again:
"The spirits are very strong during the day, and these Qingling bamboos need more care."

As he spoke, the seal in his hand changed and the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique was used.

A cloud of mist quickly spread out, and thousands of crystal raindrops fell. The moist spiritual energy spread out, dispersing the continuous influx of golden and fire spiritual energy.

'The perfect level of the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique!'

For many spiritual farmers in the foundation-building stage, it is impossible to achieve perfection in even one of the three planting spells that can accelerate the growth of spiritual medicines. It takes the disciples ten years to achieve all of them.

Why is the gap between people so big?

At this moment, Ge Ying felt that the world was a little unreal.

　The initial idea was to "upgrade the spirit vein and stop the eruption of the Red Flame Peak", so many operations seemed abnormal and the processing was rough.
