Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 195 Spiritual Weapon Embryo
During breakfast, Xia Yuhan cupped her hands and said:
"Uncle Master, I'd like to borrow your shuttle to go to the General Affairs Hall. Yu Lian will take care of lunch and dinner."

The spirit stones in hand are already enough, so it is better to exchange them for foundation-building pills as soon as possible to feel at ease.

Ji An swallowed the fried fish, glanced at the two sisters standing side by side, and asked:
"Should Yu Lian go to the General Affairs Hall tomorrow?"

He understood very well the eagerness of the Qi Refining disciples to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pills, and he ran to the General Affairs Hall on the day he had gathered enough spirit stones.

Xia Yulian smiled and said:

"That's what we planned. If Uncle Master has any plans, it's okay to do it a few days later."

Ji An took out the shuttle and said:
"You two should go today. Have Huang Xuan stew fish and meat and steam chalcedony rice for lunch."

If someone is unlucky enough to exchange their money one day later and has to wait five more years, they will probably feel resentful in their heart.

The human heart is something very mysterious.

Xia Yulian hesitated:
"I'd better stay."

"Go ahead, both of you go together."

Ji An waved his hand and signaled them to leave.

After the two left, he called Huang Xuan and the other two and said:

"You two have also broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. What are your plans for the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

I have already sponsored two sisters, so it won’t hurt to sponsor two more.

Huang Xuan pondered his uncle's intentions and spoke slowly:

"Reporting to Master, I plan to save up some contribution points for another two years, and then borrow some spirit stones from my acquaintances. If it's still not enough, I will shamelessly ask Master for help."

Li Chengdao:
"That's what I thought."

There is almost no expense in practicing at Chiyan Peak except for occasionally buying medicinal pills.

They both cultivated spiritual fields outside the Red Flame Peak, planting yellow sprout rice and talisman grass, and handed all of them over to the sect in exchange for contribution points.

Most of the rewards I received on a daily basis were saved and exchanged for spirit stones.

Ji An hummed, and said with satisfaction:
“Very good, but the competition for Foundation Establishment Pills is fierce, so it’s safer to redeem it early.

How many spirit stones are you short of? Tell me, I'll give you enough, and we can go to the General Affairs Hall to exchange them tomorrow."

These two disciples are quite honest. He had the audacity to borrow spirit stones from his master back then.

Huang Xuan was very smart. He thought that Xia Yuhan and the other person had just borrowed the shuttle to go to the General Affairs Hall to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. They must have borrowed spirit stones from their uncle.

While he was still thinking, Li Cheng said happily:

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Master. I'm short of 1,700 spirit stones."

Huang Xuan collected his thoughts and replied:

"I'm short of 1,500 spirit stones."

Ji An took out the corresponding spirit stones and handed them to the two of them, saying:
“Use it, and return it to me after you’ve established your foundation.

You two are also spiritual farmers. If I cultivate a second-level spiritual fruit here, I can leave some seeds for you."

Over the years, with the sales of mulberry leaves, blue sky fruits and spiritual wine, even though his expenses were huge, the number of spiritual stones in his hands continued to increase steadily.

The spirit stone will not lay eggs if you keep it in your hand, so give it away to do a favor, maybe it will be useful in the future.

The two bowed deeply:
"Thank you, Uncle Master!"

For spiritual farmers, planting high-level spiritual trees is equivalent to sowing hope.

Ji An nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"If you come across seeds or seedlings of high-level spiritual plants in the future, you can exchange them with me for spiritual stones or various spiritual objects."

In a few years, Chiyan Peak will have a second-level medium-grade spiritual field, and it will be in urgent need of replenishing the diversity of spiritual wood.

Huang Xuan said solemnly:
"If I have such a harvest, I will definitely give it to my uncle."

If you come across a rare spiritual plant, you can give it to your uncle to plant so that it can grow faster. If you cultivate it yourself, you don’t know how long it will take to bear fruit.

In the afternoon, Jiang Wanrong drove a flying boat into the Red Flame Peak. The rich spiritual energy refreshed her spirits.

"Brother Ji is so lucky that he can practice in the second-level spiritual veins at the foundation-building stage."

The spiritual vein of Luoyan Mountain is only of the first-grade quality, and the concentration of spiritual energy is obviously lower than that here.

She looked down at the mulberry fields with rolling green waves, and suddenly caught a glimpse of several places flashing with light, and she exclaimed "Huh".

She thought she was dazzled, so she shook her head vigorously, rubbed her eyes with her hands, and looked again.

The leaves were emerald green with a hazy glow. She was not mistaken; it was undoubtedly a second-level jade-leaf mulberry.

"Brother actually cultivated a second-level spiritual mulberry tree, and it's only been a few years!"

Jiang Wanrong counted on her fingers the days since she had settled in Luoyan Mountain. It had only been nine years. This batch of emerald-leaf mulberry trees was planted the year she arrived.

The flying boat landed beside the cold pond. Xia Yuhan came up to greet them with a smile and said:
"Master, you haven't been to Scarlet Flame Peak for several months."

Jiang Wanrong patted the wooden barrel beside her and said, "These are top-grade silkworm pupae. I'm giving some to my senior brother. You can carry them down.

By the way, where is Senior Brother now?"

She is now mainly cultivating top-grade spiritual silkworms and no longer looks down on these high-quality silkworm pupae.

"Master should be in the cave right now, and he will be at the cold pond soon.

Please wait a moment, I will make tea."

Xia Yuhan said that Uncle Ji's daily routine was very clear and she knew it very well.

She took the wooden barrel down and put it in the kitchen. Silkworm pupae are a high-end ingredient, and there will be new delicacies to taste in the future.

In the cave, Ji An used the fire control technique, and the flame sometimes turned into a big bird, sometimes into a long snake, or sometimes into a bunch of flowers.

It changes shape at will according to his wishes.

After practicing for a while, he channeled the earth fire into the purple fire gourd. Not long after, the gourd could no longer contain the flame.

“This one is full too.”

Ji An frowned slightly, closed the underground fire mouth, and then put away the purple fire gourd.

The three magical instruments in his hands were already full and needed a few more. He left the cave and returned to the cold pond. Jiang Wanrong immediately stood up and waved:

"Senior Brother Ji!"

Ji An fell from the sky and said with a bow:
"Hello, Junior Sister. How come you have the time to come to my place today?"

Ever since Chiyan Peak started to steadily supply top-quality mulberry leaves, the other party has been concentrating on cultivating spiritual silkworms.

Spiritual silkworms are different from the silkworms on Earth. They do not have a stage of emerging from the pupae. They will pupate every year and then molt in the pupa. Their layers also grow with each molting.

"I sent a bucket of top-quality silkworm pupae."

Jiang Wanrong paused and said:
"Brother, why didn't you tell me about the good news of cultivating a second-level spiritual mulberry? Do you think I wouldn't be willing to spend spirit stones to buy it?"

If there is a stable supply of second-level mulberry leaves, she can try to cultivate silkworm kings, and then she will be able to produce second-level spiritual silk.

By then, her sect's status will also rise.

"First of all, I would like to thank my junior sister for the silkworm pupae. The second-level spiritual mulberry trees have just been cultivated recently, and it will take some time before the mulberry leaves can be picked.

Another thing is that Master He from the Beast Taming Palace has reserved these mulberry leaves and will use them in three years.

If I supply mulberry leaves to Junior Sister now and then stop supplying them after three years, wouldn’t that interrupt Junior Sister’s plans?”

Senior Brother Wu Yan from the Beast Taming Hall branch comes to Chiyan Peak every month. Through these visits, he has learned more about breeding monsters and spiritual insects.

Cultivating a beast to achieve a breakthrough requires a single-step effort and cannot be interrupted, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted and all investment will be wasted.

Jiang Wanrong frowned slightly and nodded.
"I see, Uncle He must be trying to breed a five-colored deer.

However, my senior brother made a mistake in calculating one thing. The spiritual silkworms I cultivated are only at the foundation-building stage. I can cultivate a batch of high-level spiritual silkworms in just half a year.

Has anyone ordered these second-grade mulberry leaves? I'd like to buy some."

All the disciples from the Beast Taming Palace know about Uncle He’s Five-Colored Deer.

This beautiful and powerful beast is a rare beast that all beast masters yearn to own.

"Not yet. If Junior Sister is willing to buy it, I'd be more than happy to do so, provided it doesn't delay Martial Uncle He's use three years from now.

How about this, in another month, I can provide Junior Sister with a stable supply of mulberry leaves, about 20 kilograms per day, at a price of 5 spirit stones per kilogram."

Ji An said that as long as the other party is confident, it will be fine.

Jiang Wanrong's expression was a little strange, and she said awkwardly:
"Brother, ten kilograms a day is enough for me.

Also, I don't have enough spirit stones, can I use silk or robes to offset them?"

The second-level mulberry leaves are very effective for spiritual silkworms, but good things are expensive, and the several thousand spirit stones in her hand are far from enough.

Ji An pondered and said:
"How about this? I'll provide you with mulberry leaves first, and then I'll pay you in half a year. What do you think?"

He had thought about this problem a long time ago and was willing to provide "interest-free loans".

Thinking back to when he first entered the sect, he was the borrower, but now he is showing signs of becoming the creditor.

Jiang Wanrong's eyes lit up and she said:
"Really? That's great! Thank you, Brother. Let's sign the agreement then."

This result was better than she expected, and she hurriedly took out a blank jade slip and entered the content of the agreement.

She felt relieved when Ji An input the magic mark.

Jiang Wanrong put away the jade slip and sighed:

"Brother, there will be more and more second-level spiritual plants here. It is really a treasure land."

There will definitely be more and more second-level spiritual plants being cultivated here, and I don’t know how many spirit stones I will earn every year.

Another question came to her mind: "Brother, what are your criteria for choosing a Taoist partner?"

Ji An smiled and shook his head:

"Junior sister, the carrying capacity of the spiritual field is limited. The birth of each second-level spiritual plant means that more first-level spiritual plants will be cut down."

Overall, the profits of Chiyan Peak are getting higher and higher, but not as high as others imagine.

After dinner, Jiang Wanrong flew away on a flying boat.

Huang Xuan stepped forward and said excitedly:

"Congratulations, Uncle Master! I just came back from the Red Cloud Pine Forest and discovered a gourd vine with a faint spiritual glow on its leaves!"

Every few days, he and Li Cheng would take turns adding fertilizer to the gourd field.

The fertilizer is made of red pine powder and red sand, and is the most effective formula found in experiments.

Every spiritual farmer knows what it means when spiritual plant leaves have spiritual light. Li Cheng was shocked to hear this news and thought jealously:
“Why don’t I add fertilizer today?”

Report the good news as soon as possible. Given Master Uncle's character, he will definitely reward you.

Ji An laughed and summoned the shuttle:

"Okay, let me see."

The shuttle left a trail of light in the sky and flew to the gourd field at lightning speed.

The unique gourd vine was so eye-catching that Ji An found its location at a glance.

He controlled the shuttle to dive down, and the strong wind made the gourd leaves rustle.

The gourd vine was as red as a furnace fire, and its leaves were the same color. A faint spiritual light lingered around the spiritual plant.

The gourds on the vine were still green. Ji An carefully observed the growth of the gourds and his brows knitted together.

He shook his head slightly and took off one of the gourds.

Vine-type spiritual plants cannot produce multiple high-level fruits, so they can only discard one to allow all nutrients to be supplied to grow gourds that grow better.

The second-level purple fire gourd that was nurtured was naturally the embryo of a spiritual weapon.

The flame nurtured by a spiritual weapon-level gourd can pose a threat to Chaoyuan-level cultivators.

Ji An pulled out the vines around the second-level gourd vine, preventing other spiritual plants from interfering with its growth.

What he told Jiang Wanrong was the truth. The birth of each second-level spiritual plant was a disaster for the spiritual plants around it.
