Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 165 The auspicious time has arrived
"Junior brother, you have good tactics. I can agree to your deal, but I need to see a second-level Chi Yunsong first."

Li Yuangong said that he had to go to the other party's cave to see the spiritual wood with his own eyes to have a clear idea. This was the first time they had dealt with each other and there was no trust between them.

Ji An bowed again, his smile warm and welcoming:
"I was just thinking of inviting you to go to Scarlet Flame Peak. Should we go today or tomorrow?"

In his estimation, the second-grade mid-quality Nine-Curve Yellow Earth was the most difficult to obtain. Now that there was a possibility of a deal, he was delighted.

He directly told the other party the date and let them choose, reducing the possibility of them changing their mind.

Li Yuangong pondered and said:

"I have other things to do in the next two days. Three days later, before noon, I will arrive at Scarlet Flame Peak."

He also had to entrust a weapon refiner to create a spiritual weapon. Besides, he had no idea about the other party's background, and didn't even know where Chiyan Peak was.

I have to go to the Qinong Hall to inquire, as that is where the information of all the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage is kept.

Ji An smiled gently and said:
"The bed will be prepared for you. Please don't break your promise, brother."

"I, Li Yuangong, never break my promise."

"Okay! But it's too late to go at 3 p.m., Senior Brother, why don't you arrive before noon?

Junior Brother, I have contracted several thousand acres of spiritual fields from the sect to plant various spiritual trees. We have some special products, and there is plenty of wine and meat."

Li Yuangong readily agreed:
"Junior brother, I respectfully obey your orders."

He likes fine wine, but he cannot drink while on missions outside. He can only drink to his heart's content during breaks.

After the two of them made an agreement, Ji An continued:

"Is there any senior brother willing to help with the Xuanhuang soil?"

He looked at the monks who were suspected to be weapon refiners. These people were most likely to have the Xuanhuang Soil in their hands.

After waiting for a while and no one responded, Ji An decided to raise the stakes and said:

"I have considerable experience in cultivating spiritual woods. I have only been planting Jade Leaf Mulberry and Copper Vein Mulberry on Scarlet Flame Peak for two years, and I have already cultivated top-grade spiritual woods.

I exchanged a few black-leaf sword bamboos in the sect, and now one of them has reached the top grade level.

I won't mention the boast of cultivating a second-grade spiritual bamboo, but cultivating a top-grade spiritual bamboo shouldn't be a problem. I can supply you with top-grade bamboo leaves on a long-term basis."

He saw some people showing interest on their faces, but in the end no monk came forward to negotiate.

Ji An shook his head slightly and walked away.

……

Everyone began to exchange their experiences in cultivation, and the trade fair ended after half an hour.

When Ji An and the other two walked out of the cave, the monk who was selling the Exploding Flame Pearl stopped them and said with a smile:
"Junior Brother, how many top-grade copper-veined mulberry trees do you have? Can you provide a stable supply?"

He raised a gold-type monster that liked to devour all kinds of minerals and usually needed to be fed with copper-patterned mulberry leaves.

However, most of the mulberry leaves above the best grade were used by beastmasters to raise silkworms. He had not found a stable supply channel, and the breeding of beastmasters was relatively slow.

Ji An smiled awkwardly and said:
"At present, I only have a few top-quality copper-veined mulberry trees, and I can't provide a stable supply of mulberry leaves. After all, I have only been planting them for two years.

How about this, we leave a mark of our magical power, and if I have more top-grade spiritual mulberries in the future, I’ll let my senior brother know.”

"Okay, my name is Mo Shan, and I'm practicing in the cave on Red Copper Mountain."

The two exchanged mana marks and left.

Ji An returned to Chiyan Peak and sent out a communication sword.

……

The next day, at the end of the Si hour.

Jiang Wanrong came to the cold pond of Scarlet Flame Peak and said:

"Yesterday, Senior Brother Ji sent me a talisman sword to invite me here. I don't know what it was about, and he was so mysterious that he didn't explain it clearly.

Yulian, where is your Uncle Ji? "

"Please sit down and wait for a moment. Uncle Ji is making a talisman and should be almost done."

Xia Yulian greeted the guests warmly and served them pine nuts, jerky and pickled bamboo shoots.

Jiang Wanrong enjoyed the meal while chatting, and she thought that she could never get tired of the various foods here.

Seeing Ji An walk out of the stone house, Xia Yulian stood up and said:
"Master uncle is out, I'll go help Brother Liang prepare lunch."

Ji An strode to the stone table and sat down, smiling:
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Junior Sister. I noticed a few top-grade emerald-leaf mulberry trees in the spiritual field, and the first person I thought of was you."

Jiang Wanrong swallowed the meat jerky with great effort, then ate a pickled bamboo shoot to smooth her throat, and said in surprise:
“How many are there?”

"There are only about seven or eight strains available right now, but we'll have a stable supply in a month or two."

"Senior Brother is really my lucky star!
Two of my spiritual silkworms have just reached a breakthrough, and they need top-quality mulberry leaves to feed them."

Jiang Wanrong's eyes were like crescent moons, and she was ready to observe the size of the top-quality emerald leaf mulberry here.

If she can reach two or three hundred plants this year, she will start breeding higher-level spiritual silkworms.

"Come on, I'll take you to pick some mulberry leaves. I won't charge Junior Sister's Spirit Stones for the mulberry leaves I pick today.

But we can only pick 30% to 40% of the leaves, as we also need to prepare to harvest mulberries to make wine this year."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Jiang Wanrong stood up happily and urged:
"Hurry, hurry!"

……

Li Yuangong landed from the flying shuttle and input his magic power into the spiritual pine, causing the pine needles to light up with a brilliant orange-red light.

He felt the fire energy surging from the pine tree trunk, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile:

"That's right, let's sign the agreement and make the deal. I'll come back in a few months to pick up this year's 800 kilogram share."

He went to the Qingongdian yesterday to inquire about Ji An's news. After Ye Changqing understood the reason, he praised him and said that he could rest assured.

After hearing the specific story from Ye Changqing, he felt relieved about the transaction.

After a stroll around Scarlet Flame Peak today, I felt more at ease. Ji An offered the flying shuttle and said with a smile:
"Let's go back to the cold pond and complete the deal. Lunch will be ready soon."

The two flew to the edge of the cold pond. Ji An handed over the prepared red flame iron and also took the nine-bend yellow soil from the other party.

This spiritual object is golden, like metal powder, and very fine.

After weighing, Ji An used the Water Control Technique to draw some clear water from the cold pond and drop it into the loess.

The clear water seeped in immediately, and the nine-bend loess turned into plasticine, allowing him to shape it into a round or flat shape.

He pinched his fingers and released the Fire Curse, and the moisture in the spiritual object quickly evaporated and turned into fine powder again.

Ji An carefully put away the Nine-bend Yellow Earth, took out the agreement and left his own mark of magic power, then handed over the jade slip of the agreement and said:
"Brother, can you see if there is any problem?"

Li Yuangong probed into the spiritual consciousness and read it word by word, leaving his own magical mark.

"no problem."

Ji An raised his glass and said with a smile:
"After we finish our business, it's time for a drink. Brother, please!"

"Junior brother please."

After three rounds of drinking, Li Yuangong said:

"Junior brother, if you can cultivate a second-level Black Leaf Sword Bamboo, you must let me know. This thing is indispensable for refining gold-type spiritual tools.

Many brothers in the Law Enforcement Hall had to use large amounts of Gold Essence to refine spiritual weapons because they didn't have enough Black Leaf Sword Bamboo Spiritual Liquid, which delayed their efforts and wasted spirit stones.

"must!"

"If the number of second-level red cloud pines here increases, please let me know."

Ji An nodded slightly and said:
"No problem, but Brother is already in the late stage of foundation building. What use do you have for these pine nuts?"

Pine nuts are used by cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building to refine and comprehend the skills, but are of little use to cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. He does not think that they are used for eating.

Li Yuangong sighed softly, put down his chopsticks and said:
"The various materials used to improve cultivation in the sect's secret warehouse are exchanged out by everyone soon after they are put into storage. There is no guarantee that they will be available until the next batch of resources arrives.

When Junior Brother breaks through to the middle stage of foundation building, he will have a deeper understanding."

Ji An scratched his head and said:

"Can I go to the secret vault now to exchange spiritual objects for cultivation?"

Save a batch first so that you won’t have enough later.

Li Yuangong bared his teeth and said:
"Cultivators in the early stages of foundation building can exchange for spiritual tools and high-level refining materials, but they cannot exchange for various spiritual objects related to cultivation techniques, nor can they exchange for elixirs across realms. You can find a familiar high-level cultivator to help you exchange."

After having enough wine and food, Li Yuangong said goodbye and left.

Ji An activated the communication sword and asked his master about exchanging spiritual objects to assist in his cultivation.

The next day, he received a reply from Master:

"Don't worry, we have a record of handing over second-level top-grade resources. If we inform the sect in advance, they will give us priority and reserve a sufficient share."

Ji An felt relieved.

……

half a month later.

During this period, Ji An followed Wei Songnian to three trade fairs and exchanged for two kilograms of black yellow soil, but he was still one kilogram short.

In the early morning, Ji An finished his practice. There was a gleam of light in his eyes, his whole body felt relaxed, and his practice had improved slightly.

He discovered that when he released the Thick Earth Returning Origin Mantra before practicing, the wood element energy he obtained from the nearby spiritual mulberry trees had a stronger and more vigorous aura.

Ji An summoned the flying shuttle and inspected the experimental field. After carefully counting, he found that there were a total of sixty-seven top-quality emerald-leaf mulberry trees.

"Brother, it looks like I'm going to win, haha."

He muttered to himself and laughed wildly in the depths of the mulberry field.

There is still one month and three days left in the bet, and judging by the current trend, we have to win.

He squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The soil here was originally slightly reddish in color, but now it tends to turn black.

The Thick Earth Return to Origin Mantra at the Great Perfection level already has the function of improving the soil, not just increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in the soil.

Ji An felt a sense of longing in his heart. He wondered what a grand spectacle it would be if all the soil on Chiyan Peak was transformed into better black soil.

A month later.

Du Huaiyuan landed in the spirit boat and laughed:

"Junior Brother, the auspicious time has arrived! How many top-grade Jade Leaf Mulberry trees do you have?"

He jumped off the flying boat and said:

"You guys, help carry these wine-making herbs down first."

He had three storage bags on him, and the flying boat, which was more than four meters long, was filled with various spiritual medicines and fruits.

Ji An pretended to be sad and said:
"Brother, let's go to the mulberry fields and count the number of top-grade spiritual mulberry trees."

Du Huaiyuan said generously:

"No, just tell me how many there are, why do you want me to count them?
Don't worry, I promise I won't laugh at you."

He estimated that there would be at most fifty or sixty plants, enough to brew more than a dozen jars of spirit wine.

Ji An didn't say anything, but gestured with his hand.

"Twenty-five plants, so few?"

Ji An gestured again and said:

"Two hundred and fifty-six."

Du Huaiyuan's expression stiffened:
"Come on, let's go take inventory together!"
