Chapter 147 Three Happinesses Come to the Door
Ye Changqing glanced at the person opposite him and grinned:
"You're dreaming! There are other high-level talisman makers in the sect! Each person can receive a maximum of two animal skins at a time, and they will directly cut them into the size of a talisman for you.

Over the years, the sect has been continuously expanding its strongholds and has gradually reaped rewards. Now that the offensive has been blocked, these animal skins are not enough for the talisman makers to consume for two months.

Junior Brother, if you go now, you can still get two animal skins. If you go later, they will probably be gone."

He drank some spiritual tea to moisten his throat and said solemnly:

"If you have a breakthrough in your ability in the future, it would be best to report it to the sect. Then I can arrange a better task for you."

"must!"

Ji An responded quickly. If the other party hadn't mentioned it this time, he would have missed the opportunity.

He saw that there was not much left to weigh outside the stone house, so he turned around and said:

"Go to the storehouse and get a jar of honey and a bag of roasted pine nuts. Also get some fresh and dried mulberries, the best quality."

"Yes," Xia Yuhan took the order and left.

"Brother, honey and mulberries are both top-grade, and pine nuts are top-grade. In a few years, I will ask you to taste the second-level spiritual food!"

Ji An patted his chest and said heroically.

Ye Changqing's eyes sparkled with hope: "I look forward to this day coming soon."

Even for the lower-grade second-level spiritual fruit, he didn't have many opportunities to taste it.

This kind of spiritual plant can slightly improve the cultivation level, and practicing immediately after eating it can also increase the cultivator's understanding of the skills.

His eyes became deep and he said:
"I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to taste a spiritual fruit of the second-level mid-grade or higher quality."

The high-level spiritual fruits produced in the sect have always been supplied to the uncle masters and ancestors in the Chaoyuan period. He, a disciple in the late foundation-building period with no hope of further progress, has no chance of getting them.

Ji An was silent for a moment, then said firmly:

"It's not that there is no chance. If I can cultivate a second-level mid-quality spiritual fruit in the future, I will definitely send it to you for your appreciation."

"Haha, I'm very happy to hear that from Junior Brother. It would be a waste to give a middle-grade spiritual fruit to an old man like me."

Ye Changqing smiled with relief. Giving him spiritual fruits of this quality could only satisfy his appetite, so he should leave them to cultivators who were in greater need.

The two of them sipped the spiritual tea and chatted. Ye Changqing reminisced about his youthful vigor and vitality in the past, while Ji An acted as a qualified supporting actor.

A lean disciple from the Work Hall walked in and handed over an account book:
"Master, all the mission items have been counted, and the numbers are correct. Among them, several thousand kilograms of spiritual charcoal and pine nuts are of better quality than required."

"Let me see," Ye Changqing took the account book and looked through it carefully.

If the various materials submitted are of higher quality, additional contribution points will be required. The sect will not treat the disciples unfairly in this regard.

"Junior brother, this year we have 3000 kilograms of spiritual charcoal that must be of the highest quality, and what you submitted is of the highest quality.

There are also 2000 kilograms of pine nuts, and the same situation applies. Do you understand what is going on?
Ji An nodded gently and said, "Yes, I told them to do so."

This was intentional on his part. In the future, he would hand over even more top-grade spiritual objects, and the sect would also be able to see his growing importance.

By then, the sect should not assign him to carry out external missions, so that he would not be delayed in staying at Chiyan Peak to let the stone turtle absorb spiritual inspiration.

Not only will he provide more top-grade spiritual charcoal to the sect, he will also provide more and more top-grade spiritual charcoal to the alchemists to build up his own reputation.

In the future, as his planting techniques gradually reached the level of great perfection, he felt that he would be able to provide enough top-quality spiritual charcoal for people to use every year.

Ye Changqing asked for the jade token, transferred the contribution points he had earned from this mission, and said with a smile:
"Judging from the current situation, Junior Brother, the annual output from the spiritual fields is enough to support your cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building."

During the middle and late stages of foundation building, one needs to refine spiritual objects to improve one's understanding of the exercises. The more abundant the supply of spiritual objects, the faster the improvement in cultivation will be.

For cultivators with excellent qualifications and strong comprehension, the speed of improvement in the middle and late stages of foundation building may even exceed their own improvement speed in the early stages.

After chatting for a while, Ye Changqing said goodbye and left. Ji An went with him to the Work Hall to collect two animal skins for the late Foundation Establishment stage and other related raw materials.

When it’s time to fleece the sect, you still have to do it.

After leaving the Qingong Palace, Ji An drove the shuttle to Ningcui Cliff.

He took out the gifts he had brought and said:
"The emerald mulberry leaves that I have planted have reached the first-grade, top-grade quality. I have sent you two jars of honey for you to taste, Master."

He took out some fresh mulberries and gave them to the maid, saying:

"Wash some out."

A kind light appeared in Ge Ying's eyes, and she smiled and said:

"You've cultivated top-grade emerald leaf mulberry trees within a year. Your understanding of planting magic is deeper than I imagined."

"Ever since I comprehended the divine will of some techniques, my magical power has changed, and I can now plant wood and fire spiritual trees with greater ease."

Ge Ying nodded slightly and said:
"Practicing Qingmu Changchun Gong will provide additional bonuses for planting and alchemy."

Seeing the maid walking out with mulberries, Ji An said:
"Master, according to past experience, Scarlet Flame Peak should have erupted a month ago, but now it still shows no signs of erupting.

Your guess is correct, it won't erupt again."

Ge Ren nodded imperceptibly and said in the same voice transmission:

"This matter has passed, don't mention it again, and don't do stupid things that give others a handle.

I will hand over the second-grade and top-grade spiritual objects you obtained to the sect. Tell me when you need to exchange them for cultivation resources."

Now that the matter has been settled, she is completely relieved.

"Remember Master's teachings."

Ji An stood up and bowed deeply to the teacher.

A moment later, the maid brought up some freshly washed mulberries. Ge Ying reached out and picked one up, examining it carefully.

The fruits are as thick as a thumb, and each small fruit is as plump as a grain of wheat, emerald green and crystal clear, which whets the appetite at first sight.

She put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully. The juice overflowed in her mouth, and a trace of sweet spiritual energy spread out. A faint smile appeared on her cheeks and she praised:
“The taste is good in the first year!

Now I have no doubt that you will be able to become the most outstanding spiritual farmer in the sect. I hope you can increase the respect of the uncles in the sect for spiritual farmers."

"I'll try my best," Ji An smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth.

He began to ask about the problems he encountered during his practice. The master and disciple had a very pleasant conversation and did not realize that the sun was setting.

"I'll take my leave, and I'll come back to ask Master for guidance someday."

"In a few days, your Senior Sister Luo Ying will come to visit me. I will then invite all of you disciples to come for a gathering. You must come."

Ji An grinned, he knew that his master's last words were specifically for him.

"Master, don't worry. I'll be there whenever you call."

At the hour of Mao, a thin mist covered the cold pond and everything around it, and the spirit fish in the water were still sleeping in their dreams.

Ji Anru landed like an elegant bird in the mulberry forest on the shore. He took out a cushion and threw it on the ground, then sat cross-legged on it and practiced the Qingmu Changchun Gong.

This is a new world he discovered, and the feeling during cultivation is even stronger than in the Qingming Bamboo Forest.

Because it is close to the water veins, the wood energy here has a more special "flavor" and contains more vigorous vitality.

As he practiced, the mist gathered towards him madly. Thousands of crystal green lights flew out from the spiritual mulberry tree, and white lights flew out from the pool of water, like water droplets. A closer look revealed that there were wisps of black air in them, which he inhaled into his mouth and nose.

The spiritual energy circulated in the immortal veins and was easily refined after three big cycles. The wood and water Taoist seeds in the acupoints sparkled brightly.

Some green spots of light emanated from his body and were absorbed by the nearby Lingsang trees. This was the ultimate example of the unity of man and nature.

The mulberry leaves rustle quietly without wind, making a faint rustling sound with a unique rhythm, which makes it more peaceful.

Ji An quietly felt the process of spiritual power being refined in the immortal veins. He felt the positive effect of the addition of water-based spiritual power on the operation of the exercises, and had a deeper understanding of the mutual generation of water and wood.

On the other side of the cold pond, Xia Yulian put down the mushroom in her hand and shouted in surprise:

"Sister, Brother Liang, come quickly.

I don't know what's going on, the fog is moving in another direction, let's go take a look."

Liang Qiu walked out, took a look, and said:
"Don't go. Uncle Ji should be practicing his skills."

The fog will only flow when Uncle Ji is practicing. Now there is no movement in the bamboo forest. Uncle Ji must have gone to the cold pond to practice.

Xia Yulian's eyes were filled with hope and longing:

"I've heard for a long time that high-level cultivators can cause strange phenomena in the heavens and the earth during their cultivation. It turns out that even those in the Foundation Establishment stage can do that!"

Liangqiu laughed:

"One cultivator is different from another. The uncles I've met are not as good as Uncle Ji."

Ji An finished his training and returned to the cold pond to have breakfast. The spiritual energy under his feet fluctuated and the golden hair emerged from the soil.

He looked at the land that was as flat as before and secretly marveled at the magic of the earth-moving method.

"Squeak."

The golden retriever cried with joy, supporting itself with its hind legs and pointing its front paws in the direction of the cave, communicating with its owner through its spiritual thoughts.

Ji An understood what he meant, and a glint of joy flashed in his eyes.

He quickly ate breakfast and returned to the underground cave with the Soul-Seeking Rat.

Hanging on the Earth Spirit Fruit Tree were small crystal flowers the size of a fingertip, like topaz carvings, gleaming with a faint spiritual light, with rich earth-based spiritual energy lingering around them.

Among them, the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by two earth spirit fruit trees have reached the ultimate level.

Ji An laughed and said:

"Double happiness."

The spiritual tree blooms for three months and bears fruit in six months. The first batch of spiritual fruits can be harvested in half a year at the latest.

The top-grade spiritual fruits have a relatively large effect on the recovery of the golden-spotted spider. This batch of spiritual fruits should allow the monster to recover its vitality two to three years earlier.

By this calculation, in four years at most, he will be able to obtain the spiritual silk from Senior Sister Liu Suyun.

"Squeak."

The golden retriever patted his belly with his front paws, with a silly and cute light flashing in his eyes.

"Just eat it. Don't worry, I promised you plenty of fruit."

Ji An threw out a yellowish-brown soul-feeding pill, and the golden-haired creature jumped into the air and swallowed it in one gulp, but disappeared when it landed.

The next moment, it poked its head out from the nearby rock wall:

"Squeak."

Ji An left the cave and flew to the top of the mountain to extract the essence of gold and fire.

After the golden light flashed, the firelight shone, which was very beautiful.

After filling all the jade bottles he carried, he flew to the copper-veined mulberry experimental field to release the essence of gold to nourish the spiritual wood.

The vigorous growth of the Lingmulberry has also led to the healthy growth of the accompanying Iron Wire Grass, which is expected to be ready for harvest in one or two years.

Ji An flew to the Red Cloud Pine Forest again and used the essence of fire to nourish the spiritual pine that had the greatest potential to be promoted to the second level.

This place is very close to the ant nest. The Fire Crystal Ant Queen sensed the arrival of her master and expressed her joy:
"Master, I gave birth to many babies."

Ji An opened his eyes wide:
"What a good day today is! Three good things are happening at once!"
