Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 221 Body and Soul Tempering
'You're taking the wrong medicine.'

Liu Suyun choked when she heard this and retorted in her heart.

She snorted and said:

"My friend helped me a lot, this is a gift in return."

"So you're repaying a favor. What favor is it that's worth you spending your merits to exchange for pills?"

Jia Yu was a little tipsy at this time, with a gossipy expression on his face, as if to say, "I won't move unless you tell me."

Liu Suyun was at a loss for words and could only tell the whole story.

"I've entrusted a junior fellow apprentice to cultivate Earth Spirit Fruit trees. One of the trees has now reached the lower second-grade grade. According to the agreement, I need to pay him the relevant resources."

It's not a secret, so it's okay to tell it.

She thought about it carefully and realized that it was not she who took the initiative to entrust the task, but Ji An who proposed it.

Seeing that the other party's magic was mysterious, she nodded in agreement.

"I see, this favor really needs to be returned. It's a win-win for both of you, Xiao Liu!
I think I can give more potential spiritual points to the other party to manage, which will save me trouble and benefit me, and the other party can also gain extra benefits."

Jia Yu suggested that the sect allocated dozens of acres of spiritual fields to each foundation-building cultivator. In his opinion, many cultivators wasted the land.

Most of the spiritual plants in the caves of cultivators can only grow by relying on the fertility of the spiritual fields themselves.

"Master, what you said is a good idea, but I don't have any more rare seeds."

"You can go to the Work Hall and ask if there are any high-level seeds."

"Uncle Master, do you think the Qin Gong Hall will give me this opportunity?"

Liu Suyun had a bitter face. It was impossible for a cultivator who was not a spiritual farmer to exchange for high-level spiritual seeds.

It is not expensive for the sect to exchange things like spirit seeds. The purpose is to allow spirit farmers to cultivate more spirit plants and then recycle resources.

"Uncle Master, please get me the elixir quickly. Business is more important."

She urged, saying that it was common knowledge that the other party loved to talk when drunk.

It's getting dark now, and I guess he thought no one would come to exchange resources, so he got drunk.

Looking at the other person's drunken look, I don't know how long he will talk if I don't urge him.

"What a waste of good wine!"

Jia Yu nodded slightly and practiced his skills to refine the spiritual wine. He had to do his job properly and not make any mistakes.

After a dozen breaths, he opened his eyes and most of his drunkenness had dissipated.

"What kind of elixir did you exchange for?"

"Xuanmu Gathering Spirit Pill."

Jia Yu found the corresponding elixir in the niche, took out a bottle, and said:
"You can only redeem ten of these pills per year. If you want to redeem more, you have to wait until next year. The total is 400 Xiao Gong."

"That's not right, Uncle Master! I remember that I could exchange two bottles for twenty pills before."

"High-level resources have been tightened, and the amount of elixirs that can be exchanged for non-cultivation techniques will be even smaller."

As signs of the coming demonic disaster emerged, the sect began to tighten its grip on various resources, which would be distributed as rewards in the future.

"Uncle Master, could you please be flexible and allow me to exchange two bottles this time?

I just made a promise to my friend to at least give him more this year."

The sect's decision caught Liu Suyun off guard, and she tried to find a way around it.

One major merit can be exchanged for one hundred minor merits, and she needs to exchange for pills worth five thousand minor merits.

If the number that can be redeemed each year decreases, it will take more than ten years to fulfill the commitment.

If these pills were purchased from outside, the cost would be too high.

Jia Yu took the jade token and placed it on the spirit plate, deducting the corresponding number of small merits.

He returned the sign, then waved his hand seriously and said solemnly:
"Xiao Liu, if everyone is like you, how can the sect's decisions be implemented?

Things are not negotiable, you can tell your friends the actual situation, it does not mean that you are not trying your best.

By the way, who is this Ling Nong? Where does he practice?"

There are only a few spiritual farmers who are capable of cultivating second-level spiritual plants.

"Ji An from Scarlet Flame Peak."

"Is this kid starting to stockpile resources for the late stage of foundation building?"

Jia Yu was slightly surprised, but then he thought it was good that the other party was prepared for a rainy day.

Liu Suyun nodded slightly, sighed a little disappointedly:
"I can only explain the situation truthfully to Junior Brother Ji."

She felt a little embarrassed that things were not done properly.

"Uncle Master, goodbye."

Jia Yu glanced at the sky outside and said:

"Well, fly slowly and watch carefully."

It was completely dark outside, and the formation on the mountainside was even more powerful at night.

While others were picking peaches, Ji An checked the condition of the dragon blood tree.

The shape of dragon blood fruit is somewhat like an orange, and the peel is light green.

He roughly counted and found that there were more than a hundred fruits.

The spiritual tree cannot support so many fruits to reach hundreds of years of medicinal age. After the fruits reach a hundred years of medicinal age, he will pick some of them one after another, and finally leave no more than ten fruits for cultivation.

The spiritual fields in the orchard area have been upgraded to the second-grade medium quality, and the medicinal age of the spiritual fruits will increase faster in the future.

Ji An stood with his hands behind his back, thinking about what kind of spiritual tree would be best to plant after harvesting the spiritual herbs.

Now I have a second-grade, low-quality spiritual peach in my hand. If I don’t get other rare seeds, I will continue to plant peach trees.

Peach wood is also known as "fairy wood". Magical instruments made of hundred-year-old peach wood can restrain ghosts, and mortals use it to ward off evil spirits and protect their homes.

For cultivators, it is not too easy to grow peach wood that has a hundred-year-long effect.

With Ji An's ability, he can grow this kind of peach wood within ten years.

In order to make a peach wood magic tool suitable for cultivators, the wood must be at least a thousand years old, and the best quality is lightning-struck peach wood.

There are many monsters and beasts in Xizhou and many ghosts in Nanzhanzhou. The cultivators there have a great demand for peach wood magic tools.

A moment later, Xia Yuhan ran over to report the situation:

"Master, all the ripe spiritual peaches have been picked, twenty-one in total.

We just counted them, and each peach tree bears thirty-six fruits."

They were all surprised that the number of fruits on the two trees was exactly the same.

Ji An nodded slightly:

"They are all packed in gift boxes, a large box for twelve and a small box for two.

The spiritual power contained in the second-level spiritual fruit is too strong, so I won’t give it to you guys.”

The setting sun is as red as blood.

Outside the Red Flame Peak, Ji An, who was practicing magic, immediately ended his practice and hurried back.

He quickly ate dinner and began to cast a spell for the spiritual field.

The plants growing in the large orchard are all fire-type spiritual plants, and they need to cast the Thick Earth Return to Origin Mantra, the Green Wood Transformation Mantra and the Flame Mantra, and rain should be applied every three or four days.

There are only a few Tianyuan pear trees in the small orchard. You only need to practice the Green Wood Transformation Technique and the Spring Breeze Transformation Technique, and occasionally practice the Thick Earth Return to Origin Curse.

In the area where wood-type spiritual plants are planted, all three foundation-building planting spells must be used.

There are now ninety-six second-level jade-leaf mulberry trees and fifty-four blue sky trees.

Some mulberry trees were cut down, and the area for planting Canglong trees reached two acres, with ten second-level Canglong trees.

The spells cast in the Red Cloud Pine Forest are the same as those in the large orchard. Currently, there are sixty-four second-level spiritual pines in the pine forest, and all the spiritual pines in the medium-grade spiritual field area have reached the second level.

In the Earth and Metal spiritual plant areas, there are fifteen second-level copper-veined mulberry trees and twelve second-level black-leaf sword bamboo trees. It must be said that the second-level mid-grade spiritual field is really powerful.

No matter how hard they tried, by the time Ji An finished casting the spell, it was already the end of the hour of Hai.

The cold moon hangs high in the sky, its light cold and clear.

"No, it takes too long in the spiritual field."

He breathed a sigh of relief. He now had too little time for practice at night and should increase it moderately.

A large part of the spiritual fields on Chiyan Peak have been nourished by the earth veins to the lower second grade, so he can appropriately reduce the care for ordinary spiritual fields.

Ji An drove the shuttle to the Youyue Cangyu tree. The spiritual tree seemed to be covered with a veil in the moonlight.

He sat cross-legged under the tree and began to practice Qingmu Changchun Gong.

A vigorous green spiritual light flew out from the nearby mulberry trees, and a nourishing and deep yellow spiritual light rose from the earth.

The two kinds of light converged towards Ji An, and he felt as if he had turned into a laurel tree.

As the technique was practiced, strands of silver light were drawn to his side and entered his mouth and nose with his breathing.

Ji An felt a slight chill in his sea of ​​consciousness, and his soul suddenly felt refreshed.

The chill grew stronger, spreading from his sea of ​​consciousness outwards, gradually spreading throughout his entire body.

A layer of white frost formed on his eyebrows and temples, and it seemed as if a river of ice had flowed into his immortal veins.

The sense of coldness grew stronger and stronger, and his body began to tremble instinctively, and he came out of the mysterious state of cultivation.

As he stopped practicing, the white frost on his body quickly disappeared.

Ji An frowned, and he had mixed feelings at this moment.

The soul was filled with joy, but the body was extremely cold, giving a contradictory feeling of being torn apart.

During the second half of my morning practice, I felt exactly the opposite.

At that time, his spirit was a little weak, his body was warm, and there was a burning sensation in his immortal veins.

Ji An fell into deep thought. When he was practicing nearby at night, he didn't have this feeling now.

The reason for all this should be caused by the Youyue Cangyu Tree.

He knew the reason for the strange phenomena in his body when he was practicing during the day. It was because he absorbed the spiritual energy from the sunlight.

The reason for the strange feeling in the body during cultivation at this time is not difficult to guess.

Ji An looked up at the sky, the cold moon was silent.

If I'm not mistaken, he absorbed inspiration from the moonlight while practicing here.

His thoughts wandered, pondering the changes brought about by the movement of the sun and the moon.

The sun is the essence of fire, containing the true fire of the sun. It is golden in color, extremely yang and extremely strong, and burns all things.

The moon is the flower of water, containing the true water of Taiyin, which is silver in color, extremely yin and cold, freezing the heaven and earth.

Could it be that Qingmu Changqing Gong can actually absorb the power of the sun and the moon?

Ji An bared his teeth and shook his head suddenly.

The quality of the sect's foundation-building techniques is almost the same. If we infer this way, these techniques can all be connected to yin and yang.

It is difficult to combine the power of the five elements with yin and yang, but it is much simpler to transform the five elements with yin and yang.

To be honest, the sect's Taoism should not be so powerful, as that would mean that the sect has a method that directly leads to the supreme Tao.

The method is so powerful, it can’t be just a sect that inherits the Golden Core, it should at least be a Yuanying sect.

If it’s not because of the practice, then what could it be?
Ji An pulled his hair.

The next day, noon.

Ji An finished his training and carefully felt the touch of his body, comparing it with the feeling last night.

At this moment, he felt more and more the magic of Qingmu Changchun Gong, or the magic he encountered while practicing the technique.

He clenched his fists and became more and more certain of his judgment. He might be able to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and temper his body and soul when he practiced now.

But all this is just my own guesswork, I need to ask an elder.

The benefits of joining a sect are evident. If you don’t understand something, just ask. There will always be someone with greater knowledge who can answer you.

Ji An hurriedly ate lunch and flew out of Chiyan Peak in the shuttle.

He replaced the spirit stone in the shuttle and activated its fastest flight mode.

A ray of silver light cut through the sky and rushed towards the east.

After more than an hour of full-speed flight, Ji An arrived at the mountainside of Ningcui Cliff.

He pinched his fingers and the shuttle turned into a small boat about an inch long and was put into his sleeve.

Stepping into the cave, he hurried forward, took out a gift box with both hands, and said loudly:

"Greetings, Master. I have cultivated a second-level spiritual peach and brought some here for you to taste."

"Every time you have something to gain, you can still think of me. Good, good!"

Ge Ying stood up and took the gift box, her eyes gleaming with kindness:
"Please sit down. Your planting ability has surpassed my master's."

She was filled with pride, believing that this disciple would be able to go further than herself and see more scenery on the path of cultivating immortals.

Although the disciple had not visited Ningcui Cliff for ten years, he was one of the most frequent visitors in recent years.

Ji An sat upright and said with a gentle smile:

"It is my honor to be able to worship under Master."

A sigh flashed in the depths of his eyes.

After not seeing each other for a few months, there are many more wrinkles on Master's forehead than before, his eyes are a little cloudy, and his cheeks have become thinner.

The master has become old. This situation will only occur quickly when the cultivator's qi and blood are dried up and his soul is weak.

Ge Ying smiled and nodded, her eyes full of love.

She opened the gift box and immediately smelled a light fruity fragrance with a hint of heat.

After looking carefully for a few times, she picked out the two fullest fruits and handed them to the maid beside her.

"Wash it out with warm water."

"As you wish," the maid took the spiritual fruit and walked away.

Ge Ying placed her elbows on the armrests of the chair to support her body:
"Tell me about the latest situation at Scarlet Flame Peak. I'd love to hear it."

Everything is thriving in Chiyan Peak now.

Listening to the disciples’ stories, it seemed as if a picture full of hope was unfolding before my eyes.

Ji An naturally obeyed and told about the spiritual plants, bee colonies, ant colonies, and the growth of several beasts in Chiyan Peak.

The maid put down the fruit plate containing the spiritual peaches and quietly stepped away.

Ge Ying always had a smile on her face and occasionally interjected a few words.

Half an hour later, Ge Ying said softly:
"The Soul-Nourishing Wood, the Dark Moon Jade Tree, and the Black Leaf Sword Bamboo, after they are cultivated to the second stage, will be of great significance to both you and the sect.

The production of other second-level spiritual plants can enrich the sect's secret library. When I was at the sixth level of foundation building, I did not have the ability you have now."

The disciple is better than the master, and she felt infinite emotion in her heart.

The disciple's comprehension ability is amazing. Once any spell comes into his hands, he can comprehend the divine intention contained in it.

"Master, it's because refining the elixir takes up a lot of energy."

Ji An kept smiling and continued:

"Master, I'm having some problems practicing my technique and would like to ask you for advice."

"My understanding of the technique is no longer as good as yours. Tell me and we can discuss it together."

"At night, I practiced under the Youyue Cangyu Tree, and my soul felt particularly refreshed."
