Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 219: Only Three Hours
After practicing the Dielang Jue to perfection, Ji An began to look for the next major practice target.

The spells in his list became fewer and fewer, and he became stronger and stronger.

Spells at the Great Perfection level are not only more powerful, but also consume less mana, improving combat effectiveness in both attack power and endurance.

[Spell: Five-Direction Spiritual Extraction Technique (Perfection 45%)

Panshan Jue (49% complete)

Rejuvenation (21% complete)

Entanglement (59% complete)

Soul Sealing Technique (Minor Success 3%)

Detoxification (72% success)

Seeing enemies everywhere (46% of success)

Quicksand (2% Perfection)]

After considering for a moment, Ji An made up his mind.

The first priority is Panshan Jue. When a demonic disaster is about to break out, you should first practice the defensive spell to the level of great perfection to enhance your sense of security.

Entanglement and Quicksand are placed second in priority. The remaining spells have more restrictions when practicing, so just go with the flow.

Ji An pinched the Panshan Jue, and an ochre-colored spiritual light enveloped his entire body.

Like the Golden Armor Technique and the Wind Control Technique, the Rock Mountain Technique is a status-enhancing spell.

Spells of the same type cannot be stacked and released, and can only be practiced after the spell effect is removed.

It takes Ji An about half a breath to release the Panshan Jue, and only a moment to remove the spell effect.

When he comes across suitable materials in the future, he will have to prepare some defensive talismans for himself to deal with the most urgent situations.

A talisman is equivalent to a spell that has been cast to the final stage, and it only takes a moment and a small amount of mana to activate.

Ji An released the Panshan Jue, and spiritual light surrounded his body. He then pinched his fingers to cancel the spell, and the spiritual light dissipated.

This cycle repeated itself for half an hour.

"It's a bit dull to be able to only practice one spell repeatedly."

Ji An shook his head, ended the drill and returned to the cave entrance.

He used his magical powers to nurture the red cloud pine, and the spiritual pine blossomed with a fiery red light, like a soaring cloud.

The pine nuts from these two sacred pines have a more mellow taste after being roasted.

After nurturing the spiritual pine, he opened the magic ban and entered the cave.

In the small medicinal garden, the Xueluo fruit trees are already bearing fruit. The fruits are only as big as lotus seeds, light green in color, and have an uneven surface.

The Tianyuan ginseng plant has grown a little taller, almost one foot, and is estimated to be about sixty years old.

The white spots on the leaves of the Star Soul Grass have completely turned silver, with a faint tendency to turn into gold.

When the small dot completely turns into gold, the Star Soul Grass will be one hundred years old.

The gold color will turn into silver again, and after two rounds of this, the small dot will emit light like the quiet moonlight, and the Star Soul Grass can be used as medicine.

When the age of the medicine reaches four hundred years, the Star Soul Grass will fully mature and the color of the small dots will no longer change.

At this time, the spiritual grass will begin to produce grass seeds. The spiritual grass must be harvested when the seeds are just being produced, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine.

As the seeds grow, the Star Soul Grass will slowly wither.

Ji An grabbed some black soil and checked the dryness of the soil in the medicine garden.

These three kinds of spiritual medicine have similar habits and are more suitable for growing in moist soil. The moisture in the soil should be maintained, but it should not be too wet.

The moisture content in the black soil is OK and no rain is needed.

Now in the small medicinal garden, it basically needs to rain about twenty times every month.

Ji An chanted the Thick Earth Return to Origin Mantra, and the yellow spiritual light attached to the black soil slowly seeped into it, nourishing the profound Dharma meaning that permeated it.

There is a spiritual object called Shetu that can greatly accelerate the growth of spiritual plants.

Ji An guessed that it was a kind of spiritual soil that always maintained the effect of the Thick Earth Returning to Origin Spell.

Shetu is a third-level spiritual object. I don’t know if he will be lucky enough to get it in the future.

The yellow spiritual light completely merged into the black soil, and the magic power of the Thick Earth Return to Origin Mantra dissipated.

The seals in Ji An's hands changed, and emerald light spots filled with the breath of vigorous life fell from the void, and green light swirled on the rock wall.

The light spots attached to the spiritual plants and quickly penetrated into them, among which the Blood Luo Fruit attracted more light spots.

The spiritual plant soon "ate its fill" and the excess wood-element spiritual light slowly dissipated.

Casting spells is like applying fertilizer, and spiritual plants cannot absorb all the fertilizer.

If that were possible, the world of immortal cultivation would probably not be short of resources.

Ji An left the medicine garden and entered the quiet room to offer sacrifices to the apricot yellow flag.

The flame in the Purple Fire Spirit Gourd is already overflowing, and there is no need to absorb the earth fire anymore.

After refining the spiritual weapon, Ji An meditated for a while, ending a day of practice.

At the hour of Mao, Ji An left the cave and flew to the edge of the cold pond.

Xia Yulian had already prepared breakfast and placed it neatly next to the kitchen.

"Uncle Master, please have your meal."

"Thank you for your hard work, Yulian."

Ji An nodded slightly. The two sisters looked almost the same, but the monk would not mistake them.

Since he gained a deeper understanding of the exercises, the breakfast time was changed to the hour of Mao, and the two sisters took turns to prepare breakfast.

Stir-fried bamboo shoots, a top-quality ingredient.

Braised venison, bought from Luoyan Mountain last night, a top-quality ingredient.

Honey Chalcedony Porridge, let the cooked porridge cool down a bit and add half a spoon of second-grade honey.

Not only is it sweet and delicious, it also contains rich spiritual energy. It is also served with a cup of second-level bamboo tube mulberry wine.

Ji An never skimped on food, always taking both medicinal and dietary supplements. While it took time to eliminate the poison from the elixir, dietary supplements were harmless.

All these resources were not wasted, and his cultivation level improved steadily.

Ji An is now 52 years old and is confident that he can break through the seventh level of foundation building before he turns 60. Such progress is not much slower than those cultivators with earth-grade qualifications.

As one's understanding of the exercises deepens, not only will the speed of refining spiritual energy increase during practice, but it will also nourish the immortal veins more.

What made him most happy was that the bottleneck when breaking through the realm was not big.

For monks, it is relatively easy to accumulate mana on a daily basis, but it often takes time to break through bottlenecks.

This is especially true for breakthroughs to a higher realm.

Ji An felt that the bottleneck encountered in the foundation-building stage was even weaker than that in the Qi-refining stage.

After finishing his breakfast elegantly and quickly, Ji An found a suitable place, took out a cushion and sat down cross-legged.

He took out the trickling spiritual water, the Canglong wood and the dark yellow soil and began to practice.

Now, the number of spiritual objects he can refine in one hour of practice is 1.5 times that of when he just broke through the middle stage of foundation building.

As Qing Mu Chang Chun Gong was activated, various colors of spiritual light converged towards him.

The moist black inspiration, the nourishing deep yellow inspiration, and the vigorous green inspiration.

His body was like a black hole, constantly devouring spiritual energy and inspiration.

The nearby spiritual plants gently fell to his side, as if worshipping their monarch.

The mist in the mountains gradually dissipated, and a golden sun peeked out from the mountains in the east.

At the top of Chiyan Peak, golden-red mist rose.

The amount of water and earth spiritual energy that Ji An could absorb decreased, but he also absorbed a special type of fire spiritual energy.

Strands of golden light penetrated into his body like a young swallow flying into the forest.

The sun gradually rose higher and slowly reached the top of his head. The heat from the sun began to seriously affect his cultivation, and he felt a burning sensation in his immortal veins.

Ji An slowly finished his training and walked into the shade of the Canglong tree, thinking about his technique.

The Qingmu Changchun Gong focuses on the way of Jia wood, which grows vigorously and tenaciously, and absorbs the inspiration of Ji earth, Gui water and Bing fire to replenish itself.

To break through the Chaoyuan period, one needs to integrate Jia and Yi wood to achieve the complete way of wood.

As for how to integrate them, he has no idea yet.

For other monks, they have other things to deal with on weekdays, so it is too early to think about these things.

But for Ji An, he can already prepare in advance.

Liu Suyun looked up at the sky. It was already noon. She was very shocked and asked:

"Junior Brother Ji, do you usually practice at this time?"

Yesterday she received a message that the second-level Earth Spirit Fruit had begun to mature, so she rushed to Red Flame Peak early today.

At that time, I learned that Junior Brother Ji had started practicing at the hour of Mao, and it has been three and a half hours now.

She could only practice for two and a half hours at a time. If it took longer, her immortal veins would not be able to bear it.

Xia Yuhan shook her head slightly:
"Uncle Master usually ends his training just after noon. I guess he has gained some insights today."

It was now half an hour later than before, and she was secretly surprised.

If my uncle-master makes another breakthrough in his cultivation, it would be horrifying.

Another quarter of an hour later, Ji An flew back and said with a slight surprise:
"Senior Sister Liu, what time did you arrive?"

"I just arrived at Chenshi. I didn't expect that Junior Brother has made such great progress in his cultivation and has been able to practice continuously for so long. Congratulations!"

Liu Suyun had expected the other party to practice in the early morning. She had guessed the other party's progress based on her own practice time, but she didn't expect that the other party had made such great progress now, far surpassing her.

There are seven kinds of cultivation techniques for the foundation-building period within the sect, and the quality is not much different.

Only when one has a deeper understanding of the technique can one practice it for a longer time. The length of practice can be used to infer the degree of understanding of the technique by other practitioners.

She is now at the seventh level of foundation building. Logically speaking, the endurance of her immortal veins is stronger than the other party's, but the time it takes to practice is shorter. The meaning is self-evident.

"Haha, sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Senior Sister.

Today I thought about some difficult cultivation problems and pondered them for a long time. I usually only practice for three hours."

It’s only three hours, but hearing this makes me feel so disgusted!

Liu Suyun smiled politely and said:
"Brother, what you said is a bit hurtful."

Ji An immediately coughed lightly and changed the subject:
"Senior Sister must be hungry, Yuhan, have lunch quickly."

"I was a little hungry, but now I feel full."

Liu Suyun covered her face with her hands and looked sad.

As the two of them got to know each other for a long time, she was no longer as cold as she was at the beginning.

What's more, since she entrusted the spirit tree to Chiyan Peak, she has fewer things to worry about and the benefits are higher.

Ji An smiled and said:

"Have a glass of spirit wine to moisten your throat, and Senior Sister will surely have a good appetite."

The two sat down in the living room, lunch was served, and the atmosphere became harmonious after they drank a glass together.

Liu Suyun put down the wine glass and said with a smile:

“Junior brother, according to the agreement, after you cultivate the second-level Earth Spirit Fruit Tree, I need to pay you fifty great merits and fifty thousand contribution points.

If a bounty mission is issued, it doesn't matter if some contribution points are deducted, but the sect will also deduct two great merits, which is quite a waste.

If you need something, I can help you exchange it, what do you think?"

The other party must not be asked to pay for the deducted merits. It is not easy for her to accumulate the merits, and she will feel distressed.

Ji An had already planned this and said:

"Senior sister, please convert the contribution points into spirit stones for me. If you are short of spirit stones, you can buy them in advance.

Fifty great merits can be exchanged for a late-stage foundation-building elixir suitable for cultivators practicing the Wood Element technique."
