Chapter 218: Low-grade Renshui Dao Seed
Xia Yuhan walked into the living room, holding a storage bag in her hand. She took out a wooden box from the bag:

"Uncle Master, there are ten spiritual fruits in each box."

There is a spirit-sealing talisman on the box.

The talisman was shining with light, shimmering in five colors: red, yellow, white, black, and green.

After she took out all the boxes, she returned to Ji An's back.

"Senior Sister, please check the number."

Li Minghui raised her eyebrows slightly and said:

"Junior brother, these soul-sealing talismans look of very good quality. Did you draw them?"

She knew that Ji An also took on the task of drawing talismans from the sect on a daily basis, so she asked this question.

Judging from the color and aura of the talisman, it can reach the middle grade level.

For talisman makers, drawing the soul-sealing talisman is a great challenge, which requires a certain understanding of the power of the five elements. Otherwise, it will be difficult to draw the soul-sealing talisman completely.

This is the talisman that tests the talisman maker the most. Even a talisman maker in the foundation-building stage can only draw a low-grade one.

"Exactly."

Because he needed to store spiritual fruits and seeds, he needed to use a large number of spirit-sealing talismans, so he drew them himself.

He's not bragging, he just doesn't trust other people's craftsmanship.

"I didn't expect that Junior Brother also has a good understanding of the power of metal and fire."

Li Minghui looked at Ji An deeply and began to open the box to check the spiritual fruit.

Ji An was stunned. How could you even discover this?

Many people know that he has good attainments in fire magic.

But in recent years, he has never shown his gold magic in front of others.

Unexpectedly, the other party could guess what he had hidden just from the details of the soul-sealing talisman. Ji An suddenly felt that his ability could not be hidden from anyone with ulterior motives.

Li Minghui quickly checked all the boxes and nodded with satisfaction:
"For 360 Biluo Fruits, I need to pay 1440 Xiaogong. Adding the extra reward, I will give you a total of 1512 Xiaogong.

Junior Brother, please give me the jade token."

She took the jade token, operated it for a while and said:

"The minor merits have been transferred to your jade token. The current number of minor merits is 17540."

She was secretly astonished in her heart, the other party's little skill was comparable to that of many veteran cultivators in the late stage of foundation building.

Even if one is a very powerful demon hunter, it would probably take ten years to accumulate so many small merits.

The other party is a spiritual farmer. Now that there are so many second-level spiritual plants in Chiyan Peak, the speed of accumulating small merits will become faster and faster.

In a few decades, the other party's number of minor merits will probably be the largest among the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Ji An put away the jade token and said with a smile:
“A few days ago, Senior Brother Ye handed over the resources for cultivating a second-level mid-grade spiritual field to me.

Now, Scarlet Flame Peak has fifty acres of medium-grade spiritual fields, and in the next period of time, we should be able to cultivate more second-level spiritual plants."

"What great news."

Li Minghui showed surprise on her face. After the spiritual field was upgraded, the growth rate of various spiritual plants would be accelerated, and more second-level spiritual fruits should mature.

Master’s Five-Colored Deer has arrived at a good time, and the resources for breaking through to the Chaoyuan period will be more sufficient.

Suddenly, she felt a fluctuation of magical power coming from the ground, and then saw a strong spirit-seeking rat crawling out.

The soul-seeking rat has fluffy, golden fur and a very clean body.

"Squeak."

The soul-seeking rat cried out happily, stood up straight, and gestured with its two front paws.

Ji An nodded slightly and said:

"I understand, please go back."

The golden-haired little head nodded, and he used the earth-moving technique again to leave.

Li Minghui's eyes showed a soft light, and she smiled:

"This spirit-seeking rat that Junior Brother raised is quite intelligent. I've never seen one like it before."

As a beastmaster, she likes all beasts that have spirituality.

"This guy is a lazy creature. He usually hides in the cave and sleeps all day long. He only comes out to look for food at night."

The fire-toothed rabbits, red-tailed squirrels, and various birds in the Red Flame Peak are all food for the golden-haired fox.

Golden Retrievers conduct sneak attacks at night and have a very high success rate in hunting.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Minghui stood up and said:
“After finishing my work, I returned to Cuizhu Peak.

Junior brother, goodbye."

Ji An walked quickly to the underground cave. Just now, Jinmao told him the good news that the second-level earth spirit fruit tree had begun to bear fruit.

"So, my second-level Earth Spirit Fruit Tree will bear fruit in three years."

Ji An whispered, his steps becoming more brisk.

The spiritual tree that bore fruit belonged to Senior Sister Liu Suyun. It took about three years from breaking through to the second level to bearing fruit.

A faint fragrance floated in the air in the cave, and small flowers like topaz carvings hung on the spiritual trees, sparkling with crystal light.

Golden Retriever was squatting under a tree, greedily breathing in the rich earth-based spiritual energy gathered here.

Ji An bent down, stroked the soft fur of the Soul Seeking Rat a few times, and said:
"Keep this here, and don't let the Rock Armor Bear set foot here again."

The bear is so greedy that it doesn't care about the consequences.

The golden retriever nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Before it eats the fruit, the stupid bear will never be able to eat it.

Ji An walked out of the cave and sent a sword talisman to Liu Suyun.

The owner should be informed of this good news as soon as possible.

When the other party arrives at Chiyan Peak, he will discuss when to pay the reward.

The next day, Ji An received a message from Liu Suyun:

"Junior brother, the sect has been busy with tasks recently, so it's inconvenient for me to go. Please let me know when the spiritual fruit is ripe."

In the cave, after Ji An completed the ritual of refining the apricot yellow flag, he had very little magic power left.

He took out a pile of topaz bottles and used the essence of earth to nourish the spiritual tools.

Under his control, strands of yellow spiritual light were swallowed up by the apricot yellow flag.

Refining a spiritual weapon can increase its power, while nourishing a spiritual weapon can increase its spirituality.

If a spiritual weapon can give birth to a weapon spirit, then you will make a fortune.

Every day he used about ten spirit stones to nourish the earth essence of the Apricot Yellow Flag.

Over the years, he has spent more than 20,000 spirit stones on the Xinghuang Flag.

The spiritual power of the spiritual weapon has increased a lot, but the birth of the weapon spirit is still a long way off, and perhaps there will never be a day when the weapon spirit is born.

These are all sunk costs. Ji An has plenty of spirit stones, otherwise he wouldn't be so extravagant.

The reason for doing this is because Xinghuangqi has growth potential.

If he breaks through to the Chaoyuan stage in the future, he can seek out Zhao Lei for secondary refining, incorporating higher-level materials into it to make a second-level mid-grade spiritual weapon.

The earth essence in the jade bottle was completely devoured by the spiritual weapon. Ji An put away the apricot yellow flag and came to the earth fire room.

He took out the purple fire spirit gourd, opened the seal of the earth fire mouth, and used the fire control technique to pour flames into the spirit weapon.

This spiritual weapon does not require sacrifice or spiritual nourishment, it only needs to devour flames.

Wei Songnian piloted the flying boat to the spiritual field outside the Red Flame Peak and said anxiously:

"Brother, have you heard about the demon beasts gathering?" The demon beasts began to gather, and the outbreak of the demon disaster was inevitable.

"I heard about it from Senior Brother Ye half a month ago."

Ji An unleashed the Quicksand spell, and the earth swallowed up the straw that had lost all its vitality.

“After the demonic disaster broke out, the price of talismans will inevitably rise significantly. Our family has already started purchasing a large amount of talisman-making materials.

Brother, which type of talisman do you have the highest success rate drawing now?"

Wei Songnian asked, he wanted to count the talismans that all the cooperating talisman makers were best at so that he could provide corresponding resources in the future.

This can be seen from the talismans traded on a daily basis. He doesn't need to ask other people, but he has to ask what Senior Brother Ji is good at to know for sure.

"Explosion Talisman and Explosion Flame Talisman. I draw these two talismans a lot every day, so I'm very familiar with them."

Ji An replied that he had a success rate of 93% to 94% when drawing the Explosive Flame Talisman, and an 80% success rate when drawing the Explosive Talisman.

Wei Songnian scratched his head and laughed foolishly. This was obviously not the answer he wanted.

He coughed twice and said:

"Brother, I don't mean anything else. What I want to ask is, which talismans have you drawn with a success rate of over 60%?

As you know, the demand for talismans will increase significantly after the demonic disaster. In addition to the Explosive Talisman and the Explosive Flame Talisman, I would like to ask you to draw some talismans that other talisman makers are not proficient in."

This question is a bit taboo, but fortunately their relationship is good enough.

Ji An pondered and said:
"The Water Curtain Talisman, the Cold Wind Talisman, and the Rejuvenation Talisman can also achieve a 60% success rate.

Next time you return to the sect, you can bring me some materials."

The sect's tasks of refining talismans have been decreasing, and the time he spends on making talismans every day is getting less and less.

According to Senior Brother Ye, many talisman makers took the initiative to go to the Work Hall to receive tasks.

Ji An believed that the craftsmen had begun to stockpile supplies.

Making talismans requires a sense of touch. In order to avoid becoming unfamiliar with the technique, he still has to spend enough time making talismans to maintain his condition.

But he did not plan to make a large number of talismans, because the spiritual energy consumed by making talismans was difficult to replenish.

The consumption of spiritual energy is too great, which affects the efficiency of his spell practice.

He has always had the habit of hoarding talismans. Now he has more than 300 top-grade explosive talismans, 20 top-grade rejuvenation talismans, and 12 mid-grade talisman weapons.

Among them, five talisman weapons were nurtured to the late stage of foundation building.

“No need to wait until next time, I have brought back a lot of materials now.

Brother, I feel that the effects of the Cold Wind Talisman and the Rejuvenation Talisman will be greater after the medicine erupts. Could you also help draw more of these two talismans?"

Ji An nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, but I have my own pace. Don't rush me to deliver."

He is no longer the same person he was back then, and there are more convenient and quicker ways to earn spirit stones.

Casting spells consumes relatively little spiritual energy. As long as he takes good care of the spiritual plants, a steady stream of contribution points and spirit stones will flow into his pocket.

"No, I'll take whatever you draw.

Brother, are you getting the materials from me and then selling me the talismans, or are you using some other form of cooperation?"

“What are other ways to collaborate?”

"It's similar to the sect's talisman-making mission. I provide the materials, and you hand over a certain percentage of the talismans. I'll buy the extra talismans with spirit stones.

Brother, if you adopt this cooperation model, I will give you a 35% contribution rate."

The sect’s submission ratio is 40%.

Ji An pondered and said:
"Then let's choose the second form of cooperation."

The two ways of cooperation have their own advantages and disadvantages. The first way of cooperation can earn more, but it will take up the spirit stones in his hands.

After the demon disaster breaks out, it is best to have enough spirit stones on hand, as there is a high chance that you can use the spirit stones to purchase second-level spiritual objects.

A smile appeared on Wei Songnian's face. His senior brother's choice was what he wanted to see.

"Brother, I brought 500 pieces of materials for the top-grade Cold Wind Talisman and Rejuvenation Talisman, 5,000 pieces of materials for the Explosive Flame Talisman, and 50 pieces of materials for the top-grade Explosive Blasting Talisman."

Ji An bared his teeth and cursed with a smile:

"You guys, are you planning to use me as a laborer?"

Six thousand pieces of materials, and maintaining a high intensity of talisman making every day, it would take at least half a year to draw all of them.

Wei Songnian cried out for justice:
“How dare I!
We just agreed that we won’t rush you to deliver the goods.”

He hurriedly changed the subject and continued:
"Let me tell you the purchase price. The tentative price is four spirit stones for the top-grade Explosive Flame Talisman, five spirit stones for the Rejuvenation Talisman, six spirit stones for the Cold Wind Talisman, and fifty spirit stones for the top-grade Explosive Talisman.

After the demonic disaster breaks out, prices will definitely go up, and we will then negotiate prices based on market conditions."

This plan may result in the other party not selling the extra talismans, and then waiting for the outbreak of a demonic disaster before shipping them in large quantities.

However, Wei Songnian believed that his senior brother would not make things difficult for him.

"can."

After discussing the cooperation, Wei Songnian took out the account book and talked about the sales of the spirit wine.

Ji An checked the account book and accepted the 8,200 spirit stones that arrived.

"Junior brother, have you managed to buy the foundation-building pill for my sister-in-law?"

Wei Songnian shook his head and said with a wry smile:

“Qiu Yun is not a sect disciple, so she can only buy foundation-building pills from the auction in Xiancheng.

Although a lot of Foundation Establishment Pills are now released, the price has risen instead of fallen. The highest transaction price at the auction reached eight thousand spirit stones.

I don't have many spirit stones to use, so I can only wait for next year's auction."

All his spirit stones were tied up in stockpiling materials, so he couldn't take out so many spirit stones at once.

The most important thing is that Yin Qiuyun is still some distance away from reaching perfection in the ninth level of Qi Refining, so he still has time to wait.

"Let me know if you need any help. I still have some spirit stones."

Ji An said that the Qi Refining disciples of Chiyan Peak could borrow spirit stones from him, and as long as the other party asked, he would definitely not let the words fall on the ground.

"Thank you, Brother. I will let you know if you need anything.

Qiu Yun still needs a few more years of practice to build her foundation, so I'm not in a hurry to buy the foundation-building pills."

Ji An nodded slightly and said:

"When Junior Brother left, he took away a jar of Jade Dew and Golden Buds."

Tea has a good nourishing effect on the soul of disciples in the Qi Refining Stage. With a strong soul, it is naturally easier to pass the spiritual consciousness test.

He believed that if a cultivator's spirit was strong, there was a great chance of building a foundation even if he took a foundation-building pill made with demon pills as the main ingredient.

The sects and families have been quietly accumulating strength for the outbreak of the demon disaster. The independent cultivators are still unaware of this, and the Mingfeng Mountain Fairy City is still bustling with activity.

No matter how the situation changes outside, it cannot disturb the peace of Chiyan Peak at all.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.

Under the moonlight, Ji An was practicing magic. He pinched the wave technique and his magic power turned into rolling waves and surged out.

The range of the spell has expanded much more than before, becoming even wider.

His face suddenly lit up with joy, and his mind sank into his dantian.

The handwriting of Dielang Jue slowly disappeared, and the color of the Renshui Dao seed in the acupoint became even deeper.
