Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 191 Obtaining the Pill
In the stone house, Xia Yuhan and her sister sat cross-legged on a cushion.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the second-level spiritual vein is enough to support two Qi Refining disciples to practice in the same room without any pressure.

An abnormal fluctuation occurred beside her, and Xia Yulian subconsciously stopped practicing to check the situation.

She felt the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from her sister, and a complex emotion of joy and loss flashed in her eyes.

Five years have passed since the two of them came to Chiyan Peak.

The same exercises, the same pills, the same frequency of taking the pills, and the daily practice time are basically the same.

Now that her sister has made a breakthrough, she feels that it will take a long time to overcome the bottleneck.

During the sect entrance test, they both had the same qualifications, but now it seems that the elder sister is actually better.

Xia Yuhan finished her training and just happened to meet her sister's gaze.

Xia Yulian immediately calmed down, put on a smile, and said softly:

"Congratulations, sister, for breaking through the bottleneck and reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining."

Breaking through three realms in five years is quite fast.

"Congratulations, my sister will also make a breakthrough soon."

Xia Yuhan laughed and said that after breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, she needed to start preparing for the foundation building.

She is only 22 years old now, so there is still plenty of time.

She sighed in her heart that the speed of improving her cultivation in the second-level spiritual vein was really fast. She only took four or five pills every month.

"I'm still early."

Xia Yulian's expression was a little unnatural, and she changed the subject:
"Sister is now facing the problem of exchanging for the Foundation Establishment Pill. It will take at least seven or eight years for us to exchange it on our own.

To exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, you still need to wait in line, so you should plan ahead."

“I can only borrow some from my uncle, but I have only saved more than 900 spirit stones over the years, so the gap is too big.

Oh, if I had known not to eat that Tianyuan pear, I could have sold it for some spirit stones."

Xia Yulian shook her head slightly:
"How many spirit stones can one spirit fruit sell for? I still have some here, you can give them to your sister first."

"My sister has broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining and is about to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills. I cannot accept your spirit stones.

I'd better find a chance to ask my uncle for help. I hope he can lend it to me because of our dedication over the years."

Xia Yuhan knew that she was not as important in her master's heart as Huang Feihu and Liang Qiu, and she was afraid that if she asked for the money, she would not be able to borrow the spirit stones and would make her master unhappy.

She needed to think carefully about how to ask so that the other party would not refuse.

The next day, Chenshi.

Huang Xuan walked forward, took out the shuttle, and said:

"Master, we delivered the Tianyuan Pear to all the Masters yesterday. Among them, Master Zhang Yuanshan, Master Mo Shan, and Master Zhao Mengyao are not in the cave."

Ji An nodded slightly and said:

"Thank you for your hard work. I will be out for a while today, so you will each do your job.

Yuhan, go get some Tianyuan pears and put them in brocade boxes. Put ten pears in one box, and four pears in another."

He was a little surprised that Liu Yu and others were all in the cave. He could make an appointment to meet and keep in touch with them.

"Yes," everyone responded, and Xia Yuhan trotted to the warehouse to prepare things.

After Ji An got the brocade box, he drove the shuttle all the way eastward.

The mountains are lush and green, with palaces and caves dotted among them. From time to time, disciples can be seen riding on flying birds or talisman birds.

After flying for more than an hour, Ji An landed on the hillside of Ningcui Cliff.

Just this journey consumed dozens of spirit stones.

"Master, the Tianyuan pears grown on Scarlet Flame Peak are ripe. I brought some for you to try."

Ji An smiled and presented the brocade box. This kind of water-based spiritual fruit would be of more benefit to his master.

"It's rare that you still think of me, I'm very happy.

Now that your practice has improved, and Scarlet Flame Peak has a stable output, you are living the most comfortable life among all the disciples."

A kind smile appeared in Ge Ying's eyes as she took the brocade box and opened it personally.

She had no shortage of spiritual fruits and whatnot. She was happy that her disciples always kept her in mind and brought her whatever the cave produced for her to taste.

Ling apricots, Ling peaches, pine nuts, mulberries, etc., as well as cooked Ling fish, were still hot when they were served.

She handed the box to the maid and said:

"Wash out one dish and store the rest in the warehouse."

She turned her head, carefully looked the disciple up and down, nodded with satisfaction and said:

"You were able to break through to the fifth level of foundation building so quickly. Your speed in refining spiritual objects must have increased again, right?"

Although it was a question, her tone was firm.

"Indeed, I don't have many related spiritual items left, so I need to exchange them from the secret vault."

Ge Ying nodded slightly, took out her jade token, and asked again:

"Are there enough pills?"

The sect provides Qinglian Pills to cultivators who practice Qingmu Changqing Gong. This elixir that combines water and wood is enough to advance cultivators to the late stage of foundation building.

She is one of the strongest alchemists in the sect. She also practices Qingmu Changchun Gong and knows clearly the situation that her disciples will face.

Ji An bared his teeth and said:

"It's not enough. The sect only distributes a dozen pills. I can buy 20 to 30 pills every year from other alchemists in the sect, and a few more from the Zhendanfang, but there is still a big gap."

A cultivator who practices the Wood Element Technique can refine his magic power by practicing on the Red Flame Peak, so he takes any medicine he has, and his cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds.

"Some time ago, the sect assigned me the task of refining the Green Lotus Pill. I happen to have some left over. You can use them."

Ge Ying took out two jade bottles containing eighteen pills.

"Master, how many are there? I'll buy them with spirit stones." "Why do I need these spirit stones? Have I ever paid you with spirit stones for the spirit fruits and spirit wine you sent me? Take them!"

Ge Ying pretended to be angry. Every year she received gifts from her disciples, which amounted to at least hundreds of spirit stones.

"Thank you, Master, for the reward!"

Ji An grinned, took the jade bottle obediently, and put it away solemnly.

"That's true."

"Master, when will the sect's second-grade, top-grade spiritual peach tree bear fruit? I want to plant some more spiritual peaches."

Ji An asked. Now that he had a certain status in the sect, he had discussed with Senior Brother Ye that he wanted to plant spiritual fruit trees in the places where spiritual medicines were originally planted. That way, they would be easier to take care of.

The other party agreed, but required that the seeds must be of level two or above, and could be planted after the spiritual herbs were harvested.

Ge Ying pondered and said:
“According to the timeline, it will take another fourteen or fifteen years for it to mature.

By then, all spiritual farmers in the late stage of foundation building will be given two seeds, and I can keep the one I get for you.

Spiritual farmers in the early and middle stages of foundation building need to exchange for contribution points. If you want to plant more, you need to apply to the Labor Hall. They will give you a few more seeds at their discretion, but they may not have extra."

It doesn't mean that second-grade top-quality seeds can be used to grow spiritual trees of the same level. Generally speaking, it is quite good to be able to grow second-grade medium-quality seeds.

The maid came over with a fruit plate, placed it on the table quietly, and then quietly left.

"Thank you, Master. I have contacted Senior Brother Ye from the Labor Hall and he will try his best to get more seeds for me.

I have one more thing to ask you, Master. Do you know how to cultivate the Soul-Nourishing Tree?

"I was lucky enough to obtain a soul-nourishing tree, and I'm worried about how to cultivate it quickly."

Ji An couldn't hide his smile and explained in detail how he got the soul-nourishing tree, the current growth environment of the spirit tree and his own cultivation method.

"You are so lucky. You have a precious plant delivered to your door even though you are sitting in the sect!"

Ge Ying felt that this disciple was quite lucky, as he was able to witness the eruption of Red Flame Peak and obtain the precious plant.

"The Soul-Nourishing Tree is one of the rare trees in the world of immortal cultivation. As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any secret method for cultivating it.

The sect has acquired a Soul-Nourishing Tree, which has been cultivated for 120 years. It was only cultivated to the second-grade upper grade 30 years ago. You must be mentally prepared.

“After observing the actual planting situation, we found that the Thick Earth Returning Origin Mantra has a better effect on the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

Junior Brother Lin Mao is cultivating the sect's Soul-Nourishing Tree, as he specializes in Earth-Moving Techniques."

"Junior Brother Lin's cultivation method is similar to yours. He discovered that the Soul-Nourishing Tree likes to bathe in moonlight. You need to dig a large enough hole to attract the moonlight, which will help the spirit tree."

"Thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts."

Ji An bowed and said that he once again realized the benefits of having a sect as his backer. If he were to explore these experiences on his own, it would take him many years to realize them.

The significance of inheritance lies in the fact that the younger generation can stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and move forward.

"As long as it's useful to you," Ge Ying's eyes became more kind.

She picked up a Tianyuan pear, took a light bite, and felt the fragrance and spiritual power spreading between her lips and teeth.

Ji An slowed down the shuttle, flew over Chaoyang Peak along the prescribed route, and finally landed at the Treasure Pavilion.

He stepped inside and shouted:

"Uncle Jia, the spiritual wine is here!"

While shouting, he took a five-jin jar of second-grade pine wine and placed it on the table.

"Hey, you're still a good person."

Jia Yu put away the wine and said,

"Are you here to exchange spiritual objects again? This time the refining speed is faster than before."

The other party came once every six months, and each time he came, he brought a jar of spiritual wine. Although he didn't remember the exact date, he could still calculate the approximate date.

Ji An released his spiritual pressure ostentatiously and said with a smile:
"It's the fifth level of foundation building, it's normal to be faster."

A high-level cultivator can see the cultivation level of a low-level cultivator with just a sweep of his spiritual sense. However, this is impolite after all, and no cultivator likes to be "scanned" every day.

"Boy, that's pretty fast."

Ji An handed over two jade tokens and took out an emerald jade box:
"As usual, the amount of Canglong Wood, Bibo Jade Water, and Xuanhuang Soil will be half as much this time.

There are a few first-grade, top-grade Tianyuan pears in the box. I planted them. Please give them a try, uncle."

"Very good. If you have something good to offer, think of Uncle Shi. I will get it for you."

Jia Yu entered the secret vault, and after a moment he poked his head out and said:

"The Jade Water is gone, so I'll give you the Streaming Spirit Water instead. There's not enough Canglong Wood, and we'll have to wait three or four years for the next batch. Can I use some other Spirit Wood instead?"

"Forget it. If there's no Canglong wood, I'll just go back and chop down Qingling bamboo."

Ji An was the first to encounter a situation where there were not enough spiritual objects.

Jia Yu quickly came out with the storage bag and said:
"Just be clear. If you say there's a problem after you leave here, I won't admit it."

Ji An quickly counted them and put the spiritual objects into his storage bag.

"Uncle Master, the number is fine, but the secret vault is starting to run low on spiritual items."

"In the past six months, two disciples who practiced the Wood Element Technique broke through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. In a few years, other spiritual woods will also be in short supply.

As more cultivators break through, the shortage of spiritual objects will become even more severe.

The sect's spiritual veins are upgraded, which can produce more spiritual objects, but more disciples will also break through.

There are never really enough resources.”

Jia Yu sighed and asked again:
You remember you said you wanted to plant the Canglong tree, what's the situation now?"

“I planted ten spiritual trees and cultivated them all to the first-grade best quality.

Because this is the first time we're planting it, we're not sure how long it will take to reach the second stage."
