Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 146 The Five Directions Spiritual Condensation Technique is Completed
On the top of the Red Flame Peak, the golden-red mist was thick, and the inspiration was soaring into the sky, bold and domineering.

Ji An stood near the crater, pinched his fingers and released the Five Directions Spirit Gathering Technique.

His skin gleamed with a dull bronze glow, and from his body came the long, clear sound of metal clashing.

After a year, the Liujin Yugu Gong has reached the level of Bronze Armor. As long as Wei Songnian buys a spiritual object of a better grade, he can try to break through to Silver Armor. By then, the defense of his skin will be comparable to that of a monster beast that excels in defense in the early stage of foundation building.

Thanks to the body-refining technique, he can now stay near the crater for a longer period of time.

In the mist, wisps of golden light flickered like stars in the sky, calling friends to gather in Ji An's palm.

The golden essence gathered into a ball, like a small sun wrapped with thousands of golden threads, shining brightly and with a captivating sharpness.

In this place where the temperature is as hot as steaming and boiling, people's spiritual perception is actually cold.

Seeing that there was enough gold essence gathered, Ji An took out several topaz bottles and poured the essence into them.

"The harvest is good."

He chuckled and put the jade bottle into his storage bag.

Ji An sank his mind into his dantian and connected with the stone turtle.

[Spell: Five-Direction Spirit Extraction Technique (3% Perfection)]

Now, spells have a wider range and extract essence more efficiently.

In the same amount of time, we could extract about 2 strands of essence in the past, but now we can extract nearly 10 strands, which can easily nourish acres of copper-veined mulberry.

Two high-quality copper-veined mulberry trees have appeared in the mulberry field, proving his unremitting efforts have paid off.

Ji An felt that his body could still withstand the meditation of the golden and fire spirits. He once again activated the Five Directions Spirit Gathering Technique, and the way the magic power in his body flowed changed.

Thousands of hair-thin lines of fire were scattered in the mist, as if woven into a giant net.

Wisps of fire essence gathered in his palm, like a red sun, blazing and unrestrained.

There are many red cloud pines that have reached the pinnacle of the first-grade best quality, but have been unable to break through to the second-grade level.

Ji An wanted to use the essence of fire to assist in nourishment and see if he could cultivate a second-level spiritual pine as soon as possible.

In that case, both pine nuts and pine honey brewed by fire crystal ants can have higher returns.

If he could consistently produce second-grade red cloud pine, he could sell spiritual materials and form a stable industrial chain.

Second-grade inferior spiritual materials can already be used to make spiritual weapons, and their value is incomparable to that of first-grade top-grade spiritual materials.

While he was busy, a silver light passed through the mist and came to his side, vibrating continuously.

Ji An raised his hand to catch the communication sword, and probed into his spiritual sense to read the information inside.

The news came from Senior Brother Ye Changqing. It turned out that it was the day to pay the sect's rent every year, and the other party was waiting outside Chiyan Peak.

He hurriedly put the essence into a bottle made of fire jade. The orange-red light inside the jade bottle flickered and danced, as if countless fiery red spirit fish were swimming in a red ocean.

He took out the shuttle and rushed down from the top of the mountain.

By the cold pond, disciples from the Qinong Hall were weighing charcoal, pine nuts and mulberry leaves.

The leaves of the copper mulberry tree are as white as pure silver, and the golden veins sparkle in the sun, and the light reflected from the leaves is dazzling.

When the hand touches the mulberry leaves, there is a crisp "rustling" sound, which is somewhat pleasant to the ear.

The leaves of the mulberry tree are like carved jade, crystal clear and translucent.

In the stone house, Ji An and Ye Changqing sat opposite each other, while Xia Yuhan stood beside them, brewing spiritual tea.

The kettle on the stove made a soft gurgling sound, as if humming a cheerful ballad.

The white smoke curled up, adding a dreamy feeling like falling clouds and mist to the room.

Ye Changqing took the spiritual tea brought by the maid and held it in his hand, smiling gently:

"Junior Brother, the Law Enforcement Hall has twice assigned you to the stronghold of the Shiwandashan Mountains to carry out garrison duty, and I was the one who repelled you both times.

Hey, how are you going to thank me?"

He wasn't trying to take credit, but if he did a good deed and didn't tell others about it, wouldn't that be the same as not having done it?

The purpose of developing these strongholds is to divert the monster groups when a demon disaster breaks out in the future. There is no place left for cultivating spiritual medicines.

All of them were built into caves and either rented or sold to independent cultivators.

Ji An raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a bow:

"I used to wonder why everyone around me was assigned to overseas missions while I wasn't. It turns out it's all thanks to my senior brother. Thank you."

He understood the reason behind the matter and spoke sincerely.

The duration of the mission ranged from one year to two to three years. If such a mission were to be carried out now, it would greatly affect the growth of the spiritual trees on Scarlet Flame Peak.

He paused, drank a sip of spiritual tea, and continued:
"The mulberry trees are in bloom now. I've raised a group of white jade mulberry trees here and harvested some good quality honey. I'll give you a jar later for you to try."

Honey can be made into elixirs and various spiritual foods, and it can even be eaten without any mixing and still be delicious.

This senior brother likes to eat delicious food, so he will definitely like it if I give it to him.

"The emerald mulberry tree is actually blooming?"

Ye Changqing was surprised. Generally speaking, it takes at least three years to cultivate a Jade Leaf Mulberry tree until it blooms. Although the spiritual vein here is of the lower second grade, the tree can bloom in just one year. The other party's powerful planting magic must have played a significant role.

Thinking of this, he felt that he was right to help the other party refuse the overseas assignment.

If a sect sends out such a spiritual farmer to take charge of a region, he will not be able to play his important role.

Ji An nodded and said with a smile:

"Yes, I can't deceive my brother!
However, there are only 20 to 30 acres of blooming mulberry trees, which cannot form a large scale. The harvest of honey is less and the mulberries obtained are not many.

By next year, I expect that the area of ​​mulberry trees that will bloom will reach at least 200 acres, and more honey will be produced.

Not only that, we also have enough mulberries to make wine.”

The winery has been vacant for a long time since it was built. It is time for it to play its due role. Chiyan Peak will enter a stage of rapid development.

Ye Changqing's eyes lit up and he asked:

"What grade has Feiye Mulberry reached now?"

The grade of the spiritual wood is related to the quality of honey and spiritual wine. He is now indifferent to things of ordinary quality.

“Seven or eight acres of high-quality spiritual mulberry trees, nearly a hundred acres of medium-quality ones, and the rest are still low-quality ones.

However, after another year of cultivation, when the mulberry flowers bloom again, I expect all the jade leaf mulberry trees to reach the middle grade, with at least fifty acres of high-grade spiritual mulberry trees."

Ji An said confidently that this was just a conservative estimate and he was confident that he could cultivate some top-quality spiritual mulberry trees.

The magical power of Qingmu Changchun Gong began to show, and he found that several second-level quality Qingling bamboos appeared in the place where he practiced the technique!

In the past, the sect had never cultivated second-level spiritual trees in this area. Even though it was due to the spiritual veins, it was more because there were no high-level spiritual farmers willing to plant them here.

After he came to Chiyan Peak, everything became different.

Ye Changqing suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed heartily:

"Good! Using the mulberries from the best quality spiritual mulberry trees to make wine will make it taste much better.

In a few years, Junior Brother should be able to cultivate top-grade spiritual wood, and the spiritual wine brewed from it will surely be in short supply.

I think the sect should set you as an example to inspire and cultivate more high-level spiritual farmers."

Why was Luofeng Valley able to consistently outperform the sect and Yuanhe Mountain? He believed that a major reason was because they had a large number of high-level spiritual farmers.

The other party can stably produce more spiritual medicines and continuously supply alchemists, so relatively speaking, more disciples will break through to the foundation-building stage.

There are enough people in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there are relatively more cultivators in the Chao Yuan Stage.

After thousands of years of accumulation, the heritage of Luofeng Valley has become even more profound.

Ji An shook his head slightly and said:
"As the sect's spiritual veins expand, there will definitely be more spiritual farmers among the disciples we recruit in the future, but it's difficult to say whether more high-level spiritual farmers will appear."

In the sect's environment, low-level spiritual farmers have the lowest status, and it is very difficult to survive the early stages of Qi Refining.

He achieved what he has today because of the help of Shigui and the start-up capital he borrowed with a thick face.

Otherwise, it would take several more years to build the foundation, and it would be uncertain whether he could become a disciple of Ningcui Ya.

Ji An took out a storage bag and said:

"Brother, this is a top-grade Explosive Flame Talisman. Please click on the quantity to see if it is correct."

Ye Changqing counted the talismans and nodded slightly:
"The number is not bad. Junior brother's talismans are of excellent quality. I wonder if you can draw a top-grade talisman now?"

The power of a top-grade talisman is equivalent to a full-strength spell attack by a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and can be used as a strategic resource reserve.

"I was just about to ask my senior brother about the top-grade talisman."

Ji An took out an explosive talisman and handed it over: "Brother, please look, this is a top-grade talisman I drew."

The high-level animal skins provided by Liu Yu alone could no longer meet his needs. He had to find additional partners to obtain higher profits and store more explosive talismans for his own use.

He was already making an explosive talisman disk. When the enemy attacked, he would cast spells and activate the talisman at the same time, and a barrage of explosive fireballs would be thrown out. He would not be afraid even if he encountered a group of Foundation Establishment stage enemies.

The hide was slightly reddish, with bright yellow lines and a faint blue glow.

Ye Changqing stroked the talisman and exclaimed:

“The inspiration is restrained, but one can also feel the explosion of the fire energy contained within.

It's actually hidden deep enough, when did you become able to draw top-grade talismans without making any noise?"

Ye Changqing looked at the other party carefully for a few times, and he could see the whole picture from a small part. He could tell how profound the other party's attainments in explosive fireballs were.

"The Golden Fire Spirit Machine on Scarlet Flame Peak is blazing brightly. It's a great place to practice fire magic. I spend a lot of time during the day trying to comprehend the Explosive Fireball Technique."

Ji An said half-truthfully that his attack spells were almost all powered by the refining of spiritual energy.

"Fifty or sixty late-stage foundation-building monster skins have just arrived at the Qinong Hall's warehouse, along with a large quantity of corresponding talisman ink.

All materials are provided by the sect, but the talisman maker must have at least a 4% success rate to meet the requirements. Will you accept this mission, Junior Brother?"

Ji An was overjoyed: "Of course I will take it. Are all these animal skins at my disposal?"

He didn't have much experience in practicing top-grade talismans, and these animal skins were enough for him to increase the success rate of making explosive talismans by 10% or 20%, while gaining contribution points at the same time. Why not?
