Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 173 Invitation
There are not many high-level spiritual farmers in the sect, and many spiritual trees grow by absorbing spiritual energy from spiritual fields over the years.

The cultivation of high-level spiritual trees is greatly affected by the grade of the spiritual veins, there is no way around it.

The reason why Luofeng Valley has become the leader of the three sects is because their spiritual agricultural foundation is stronger and can stably provide more cultivation resources.

Li Minghui sighed softly and said:
"If the sect had a more complete planting tradition, I wonder how much more important the role that Junior Brother could play would be."

Whether it is a sect or a family, the most important thing is inheritance.

The inheritance is something that is summarized by generations of disciples through trial and error. It can be a spell, a technique, or various secret techniques.

The more powerful a force is, the less likely it is to decline, because of its rich and profound heritage.

“I’ve witnessed the difficulties faced by independent cultivators, and the sect has already given us tremendous help.

If there is no path ahead, we can try to create one.”

Ji An said that the sect provided a stable environment and various inherited secret techniques, which was crucial.

If he were a casual cultivator, even if he had the stone turtle, it would not be able to play its due role.

Ye Changqing said, "Hmm."
"That's right. A sect can only prosper if it is passed down from generation to generation. Even those great sects in Central Continent that have existed for thousands of years all started from humble beginnings.

There are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on them, they become roads."

Many hands make light work. If everyone contributes their own strength, the sect will become better and better and have more resources to train disciples.

Ji An grinned, why does this sound so familiar! Isn't it Brother Ye who is...
He shook his head to dispel the thought, coughed and said:
"I think relying solely on the Thick Earth Returning Origin Mantra to nourish the Earth Spirit Fruit Tree is too simple a method. I plan to cut down some branches of top-grade Xuan Yang wood and place them here to let them rot slowly.

Since mortals have no magic to use to grow food, they will come up with various ways to increase the fertility of the soil.

I want to test this most primitive method to see how effective it is."

Fire creates earth, and the decay of fire-element spiritual wood should further increase the earth-element energy contained in the soil.

This is Ji An's guess, and he is preparing to conduct a long-term tracking experiment.

Not only that, he planned to burn some mulberry leaves in the emerald leaf mulberry field and the green rosewood forest every year, and place ore powder in the copper pattern mulberry field, in preparation for improving the quality of the spiritual field.

The contribution points and spirit stones you earn should be used as needed. They will not create any value if you keep them in your hands.

Ye Changqing nodded, being brave enough to try is a good quality.

It was already noon when the three of them left the underground cave. Ji An entertained them warmly and both the host and the guests were very happy.

Ye Changqing left Chiyan Peak in his flying boat and asked:
"Senior Sister, where are we going next? Back to the Beast Taming Palace?"

After a feast of wine and meat, he now feels tipsy.

"Don't worry, go take a look around and see where to choose a location for setting up a branch temple.

We must find a spiritual vein node, otherwise it will not be suitable for raising spiritual silkworms and demon beasts in large quantities."

"Haha, it seems that Senior Sister is very confident in setting up a branch temple here."

Li Minghui chuckled and said:

"It's almost certain. The sect has recruited more disciples, and the number of Qi Refining disciples in the Beast Taming Hall has increased dramatically, but the spiritual veins of Cuizhu Peak have not improved.

The Palace Master has long intended to set up a branch palace to relieve the pressure. I have already inspected seven or eight areas, but I am not satisfied with any of them.

Scarlet Flame Peak can stably produce resources to feed monster beasts, saving a lot of trouble."

The areas she visited required transporting supplies from multiple resource points, which were quite far and wasted manpower and resources.

I originally thought there was no better place, so I closed my eyes and picked one. Now that there is a better choice, there is no reason for the Palace Master to disagree.

"Okay, I remember there are three branches nearby, not far from each other, two of them are top-grade and one is of high quality."

Ye Changqing recalled that he remembered every spiritual vein of the sect in his heart, and he even remembered who the cultivators who lived in those spiritual veins were.

He is still very dedicated to his job.

"The top-grade ones are ruled out directly. Let's talk about the situation of these two top-grade spirit veins."

Li Minghui said that there are good options and there is no reason to choose a bad one.

“A spiritual vein is a valley covering over 700 acres, seven or eight miles away from Scarlet Flame Peak.

The other spiritual vein is a low mountain, about ten miles away from here.

I remember the monk who stayed there was named Jiang Wanrong, a disciple of your Beast Taming Hall."

"It's Wanrong, I know her, a very talented junior sister, and she's also good at weaving robes.

She is very lucky. Living next to the Red Flame Peak, she is close to the water and the moon, so she will definitely be able to raise spiritual silkworms of higher levels.

Junior brother, let’s go and take a look.”

"okay."

Ye Changqing agreed and controlled the flying boat to change direction and fly towards Qingzhu Valley.

After the guests left, Ji An instructed:

"Huang Xuan, Li Cheng, the two of you go to the Xuanyang Woods and cut down some branches that are as thick as your arms.

Part of it was chopped into small pieces and placed next to the roots of the earth spirit fruit trees in the underground cave, and only placed near the two spirit trees in the north.

The other part was dried and ground into powder, mixed with the red sand next to the fire crystal ant nest, and used as fertilizer for the purple fire gourds. It was only used for the three plants on the south side.

Also, I'm going to buy a batch of low-quality wind-milled copper ore and black iron ore, about 2,000 kilograms each, and break them into pieces and store them in the warehouse. I'll use them."

The experiment to improve the growth of spiritual wood can now begin.

Both of them have a background in spiritual farming, so these trivial matters can be carried out very well as long as they are given instructions.

"Okay, let's go cut down the Xuanyang wood now."

Eight months later.

Beside the cold pond, Ji An was practicing Qingmu Changchun Gong, and the range of his influence was much larger than before.

Feiye Sang rhythmically fell towards him, and thousands of fluorescent dots penetrated his body. Ji An finished his training and opened his eyes, only to see a glint of emerald green in his pupils.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Now his immortal veins were thicker and tougher, and more than twenty branches had opened up in his chest and abdomen.

Now his speed of refining spiritual energy has increased by half a percent, and he has a deeper understanding of the exercises.

The world is a perfect cycle, and nothing exists alone.

Qingmu Changchun Gong shows absolute wood characteristics, but it still needs to absorb earth and water spiritual energy to improve its cultivation more efficiently.

What made him even happier was that he had already felt the bottleneck!
This means that he is on the verge of breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building, but he has only three years and six months to break through to the third stage of foundation building.

"Could it be possible that I could break through the fourth level of foundation building in a shorter time than breaking through the third level? It seems that it is not impossible!"

Ji An laughed foolishly, sank his consciousness into his dantian, and connected with the stone turtle.

"Refine the spiritual energy and improve the Green Wood Transformation Power."

Ji An's consciousness was pulled into the mysterious space of the stone turtle, forming a shadow. One foot was on the Zhen position, with emerald green spreading, and the other foot was on the Xun position, with dark green extending.

In the past, Shadow's face was a whole piece, like a faceless person, but now there are more details on Shadow's face.

The tips of the eyebrows, nose and other parts are slightly raised, and the eyes are slightly sunken.

As the number of Zhen Ling and Xun Ling decreased, Ji An's understanding of the magic formula continued to increase.

[Spell: Jade Wood Transformation (94% → 96%)]

"It's almost there. In a few months, another Foundation Establishment Stage technique will be elevated to the Great Perfection level."

Ji An stood up with a smile. If the Green Wood Transformation Technique could be improved to the Great Perfection, it should further deepen his understanding of the technique.

The buzzing sound of white jade bees flying by could be heard from time to time. He looked at the emerald green spiritual field with his eyes full of longing.

In the current Chiyan Peak, the number of top-grade emerald-leaf mulberry trees has reached 1,200, the number of top-grade copper-veined mulberry trees has reached more than 700, and the number of top-grade green rose trees has reached 1,000.

The Lingsang and Biluo trees have blossomed, and this year marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Chiyan Summit.

Ji An returned to the stone table to prepare breakfast. Xia Yuhan took out a red invitation and presented it to him, saying with a smile:

"Uncle Master, this was sent over by Uncle Master Zeng."

Ji An took the invitation, opened it, and quickly scanned it.

'Brother Ji, we have decided to hold the marriage ceremony on the fifth day of the midsummer month at Yulong Ridge. We have prepared some wine and hope you will take time out of your busy schedule to come.

Your visit will bring honor to my humble abode and add the auspiciousness of the new year. I hope you will not refuse it.

Zeng Rui pays respects.

Ji An bared his teeth and laughed:

"What a Zeng Rui! The third one in the past six months, right?!

"When I am old, I can still be as wild as a young man, and I am not afraid of grinding an iron rod into a needle!"

It is easier to stimulate the Yuanming Fire if you remain a virgin before the Chaoyuan period. Ji An has been a virgin for more than 20 years and has not even looked for the Fifth Girl, which makes him a little envious.

However, this envy was fleeting, and becoming a cultivator in the Chaoyang period was more tempting to him.

Unless a miracle happens, Zeng Rui has no hope of ascending to the throne, so it is normal for the other party to want to sow as much seeds as possible to build a family.

Xia Yuhan's cheeks flushed when she heard this, and she looked down at the ground, unable to respond.

Grinding an iron rod into a needle is such a...

Liang Qiu and others nearby were having a hard time holding back their laughter. If Zeng Rui was not their elder, they would have made a few jokes at least.

Ji An put the invitation away and said seriously:

"Feihu, you prepare the gifts.

Also, on the fifth day of the lunar month next month, remember to remind me to go to Yulong Ridge."

Huang Feihu bowed and said:

"Understood. I will definitely prepare enough nourishing foods for Uncle Zeng."

After breakfast, Ji An flew the shuttle to the top of Chiyan Peak, extracted the essence of the five elements, and then returned to the cold pond to draw talismans.

After years of practice, his success rate in drawing flaming talismans has reached 90%, and his success rate in drawing explosive talismans is close to 70%.

The most satisfying thing is that the success rate of drawing talisman soldiers has reached 30%.

Now he can submit eight or nine talisman weapons of the early stage of foundation building to the sect every month. He has already drawn two talisman weapons of the middle stage of foundation building, and uses his magic power to nurture them for a quarter of an hour every day.

The golden-haired creature emerged from the stone slab and tugged at the hem of its master's Taoist robe.

"Squeak."

The voice was urgent and excited, and the little paws were gesturing.

Ji An understood its meaning, put down the talisman pen, touched his chin and said:
"The Earth Spirit Fruit Tree is blooming again, half a year earlier than expected."

It seems that the Thick Earth Return to Origin Mantra at the Great Perfection level has a greater effect than he expected.

"Let's go and see how many fruits we can produce."

"Squeak."

The golden retriever didn't let go and kept barking to express something.

Ji An grabbed it by the neck and lifted it up, saying:
"I know. I'll definitely give you some top-quality fruits this year!"

After Jinmao established his foundation, his bloodline evolved further. Perhaps the Earth Spirit Fruit Tree had a mysterious promoting effect on it, and his demonic power had reached the standard of the second level of foundation building.

Ji An didn't mind sharing some of it.
