Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 234: Cave Stone

Teng Zhiyuan copied the jade slip and operated the spirit disk to deduct contribution points. His eyebrows suddenly raised.

"When did such a fierce man appear in the sect? I hadn't heard a single rumor about him before!"

The spiritual disk in the Transmission Hall is of a very high level and can retrieve most of the information in the jade plate.

This junior brother only had mid-level qualifications, but he was able to break through to the late stage of foundation building at the age of fifty-six, and had 1.2 million contribution points and 36,000 minor merit points.

By this calculation, he was shocked to find that the other party had accumulated so many resources in the more than 40 years since joining the sect.

Disciples in the Qi Refining Stage can't save much, and most of these resources should have been accumulated after the Foundation Establishment.

This junior fellow has been building his foundation for over twenty years, and the speed at which he has accumulated resources is terrifying.

After the operation was completed, Teng Zhiyuan returned the golden jade token and said:

"Junior brother, please read the jade slip first and write down the route of refining spiritual energy. The key to the jade slip is this route map."

High-level spells require keys to prevent them from being lost.

These spells were collected bit by bit by the sect over thousands of years, so of course they needed to be encrypted.

"Thank you for reminding."

Ji An placed the jade slip on his forehead, used his spiritual sense to roughly browse through the technique, and then carefully wrote down the new refining route.

He used a spell to close the jade slip, and then used the key to successfully open the seal.

"Already noted it down."

Teng Zhiyuan nodded slightly and asked:

"Junior brother, what level of alchemy is he now?"

He saw that the other party became a disciple of Senior Sister Ge Ying of Ning Cuiya, so he asked this question. Ning Cuiya has always been famous in the sect for training alchemists.

Ji An smiled politely and replied:

"I've just started learning alchemy and am only an apprentice."

He had only been refining pills for a month and could only make fasting pills.

Teng Zhiyuan was puzzled. If he wasn't an alchemist, then what skills did he use to earn such a fortune?
"Junior brother, how do you accumulate resources to maintain your cultivation?

If I have any related needs, I can contact you directly."

He asked the question tactfully, wanting to find out what skills the other person had.

No matter what craft the other party has learned, he must be a skilled person, otherwise it would be impossible for him to accumulate so many contribution points.

Such powerful monks are the ones he likes to make friends with the most.

“I’ve been cultivating at Scarlet Flame Peak, planting five thousand acres of spiritual fields, relying on the spiritual trees I’ve planted to sustain my cultivation.

I've cultivated some second-tier spiritual plants. If you need any Jade Leaf Mulberry, Jade Rose Fruit, Fire Spirit Peaches, Apricots, or Earth Spirit Fruit for your beasts, you can let me know."

Teng Zhiyuan's eyes widened as he said in surprise:

"Five thousand acres of spiritual fields, can we handle this?"

Judging from what the other party said, he has cultivated a large number of second-level spiritual plants in the twenty years since he established his foundation.

Although he was not a spiritual farmer, he had some knowledge of planting and knew clearly how high the requirements were for a spiritual farmer to be able to cultivate a second-level spiritual plant in such a short time.

I wonder what he would think if he knew that most of these second-level spiritual plants were cultivated in the last ten years.

“It’s okay, Scarlet Flame Peak is a second-level spiritual vein, and it has a large spiritual field that doesn’t require much care.

By the way, Chiyan Peak has cultivated more than 30 second-level low-grade Xuanye Sword Bamboos. If you have any needs, we can sign a supply agreement."

Ji An took out his trump card. The other party was a weapon refiner, and he must have a demand for both the first-grade top-grade and the second-grade lower-grade sword bamboo leaves.

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Teng Zhiyuan immediately said in surprise:

"Golden leaves from the Black-Leaf Sword Bamboo? Of course there's a demand for them.

In recent years, the number of gold leaves in the treasure pavilion has gradually increased. I thought they were all grown in the sect's medicine garden, but it turns out that my junior brother also contributed to it.

Disrespect, disrespect! "

When refining magical and spiritual weapons for killing, the metal and fire elements are the most numerous.

Sword bamboo leaves are one of the most effective materials for warming and nourishing metal instruments. This material can not only increase the toughness of the instruments, but also increase their sharpness, balancing Geng metal and Xin metal.

Teng Zhiyuan's tone became more familiar, and he continued:
"How many kilograms of gold leaves can you provide me every year?"

There is no need to worry about having too much gold leaves in your hands when hoarding them. Even if you don’t need to use them to refine weapons for the time being, you can exchange them for rare resources with other refiners.

Ji An pondered and said:
"Five kilograms a year is no problem."

The leaves of the second-level sword bamboo are heavier and more leaves can be collected, but they grow more slowly. On average, the amount of golden leaves picked each month is less, only a little over 300 grams.

In order to avoid damaging the spiritual bamboo by frequently taking leaves, he only took leaves for ten months each year, and obtained 100 kilograms of golden leaves.

Fifty kilograms of it were handed over to the sect, with 30 points of merit for each kilogram.

The rest was kept in hand, part of it was exchanged for the black yellow soil, and the other part was kept for emergency use.

He now has more than 40 kilograms of Xuanhuang soil in his hands, enough for seven or eight years.

Teng Zhiyuan subconsciously touched his wrist hidden in his Taoist robe. There was a bracelet hidden there, with a finger-sized gray glass bead in it.

The bead is neither gold nor jade, and has natural patterns on its surface, revealing it to be a Dongxu stone.

This strange stone has its own space inside, and the space magic ban in the storage bag evolved from the Taoist patterns on the strange stone.

The space in this small Dongxu Stone is comparable to more than twenty large storage bags, but its value far exceeds the storage bags. It is one of his most precious things.

Some cave stones are small worlds with complete laws, and can also raise living things and grow spiritual medicines. They are real treasures of the cave heaven.

"What spiritual item do you need, Junior Brother? I can exchange it now."

He carried many of his belongings with him, ensuring he could grab anything he wanted on the spot. "My senior brother should have plenty of what I need, second-grade, low-grade Xuanhuang soil."

Ji An didn't expect that he could make a deal by coming to the Transmission Hall. Fortunately, he brought ten kilograms of gold leaves with him.

"The two spiritual objects are of similar value. Let's exchange them at the same ratio. What do you think, Junior Brother?"

"can."

The two men took out their respective spiritual objects, handed them to each other for weighing, and quickly completed the transaction.

"Haha, Junior Brother, did you exchange your sword bamboo for it when the sect attacked Mingfeng Mountain Immortal City?"

Ji An nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"To be honest, Senior Brother, the sect's Black Leaf Sword Bamboo was also discovered by my team first."

At that time, he recognized this precious spiritual plant at a glance and received some small rewards.

"In this case, all the weapon refiners in the sect should thank Junior Brother.

Where is your dojo? I'll visit you someday."

In fact, Teng Zhiyuan already knew the location of the other party's Taoist temple from the spirit plate, but he still had to ask out of courtesy.

A first-class disciple who has cultivated many second-level spiritual plants is very worthy of making friends.

Apart from anything else, there is another way to obtain the golden leaves of the Black Leaf Sword Bamboo.

The other party now has more than 30 second-level spiritual bamboos, and will be able to cultivate more in the future, and it is possible that they can cultivate mid-grade spiritual bamboos.

"Brother, please let me know and I will prepare the bed for you.

My dojo is on the Red Flame Peak, west of the sect. It's a volcano, and in the daytime, golden-red mist gushes forth, blazing with spiritual energy, making it quite conspicuous."

The two talked for a while and their relationship took a step further.

Ji An asked:

"Brother, how did you get the mission to guard the Transmission Hall? What kind of treatment can you expect?"

He had wanted to know the answer to this question for a long time and was very curious about the qualifications for taking on such tasks.

"You need to apply to the sect. Anyone who has been in the late foundation building stage for a hundred years is eligible to apply.

Generally speaking, you will only apply for it when you need to consult a lot of previous information to improve or verify something.

The jade slips in the Transmission Hall are divided into different levels. The monks guarding the Transmission Hall can freely browse the jade slips of grade B and below. The contribution points required to browse the jade slips of grade A are the same as normal.

After leaving the Transmission Hall, Ji An came to Ningcui Cliff and landed on the top of the mountain.

He stepped into the cave, bowed and said:
"Greetings, Master. I have good news to tell you.

Yesterday at midnight, my disciple's cultivation level was fortunately broken through and entered the late stage of foundation building!"

After saying this, he revealed the spiritual pressure of a seventh-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, like a child showing off.

Sparks burst out from Ge Ying's eyes, and they instantly became bright:

"Great! That's years faster than I expected."

In her expectation, Ji An would have to wait about two more years before making a breakthrough.

In addition to her, the Ningcui Ya lineage now has three cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The speed at which this disciple's cultivation improved was comparable to that of Liu Yu, who possessed the Fire Element Body, and was even slightly faster.

"Just wait a moment."

Ge Ying stood up, went to the warehouse to take out the pills, and said with a kind smile:

"In the past three years, I have exchanged for 120 Xuanmu Gathering Spirit Pills. Adding the pills I have accumulated in the past, I can give you 240.

If it weren't for the fact that my energy and blood were starting to decline, I could give you more pills.

When Luo Ying returns to the sect in a few days, you can convert these pills into second-grade low-grade materials and give them to her."

On weekdays, she relies on meditation and swallowing a small amount of pills to maintain her cultivation level.

She herself can also exchange for second-level materials and give them to Ge Luoying. The reason why she went through so much trouble was to promote more friendship between the disciples and Luoying so that they would not be cut off from each other in the future because of her passing.

"Thank you, Master, for the elixir!"

Ji An's eyes showed surprise. It was really his master who was awesome. Two hundred and forty pills were enough for more than two years of consumption.

Combined with the exchange between him and Liu Suyun, there would be no problem in maintaining an adequate supply of elixirs for three or four years.

He put the jade bottle into the storage bag and pondered:
"The only second-level, low-grade gold-element spiritual items I have are Purple Gold Copper and Meteorite Iron. Can you use them, Senior Sister?"

The base material of each sword cultivator's flying sword blank will be different, and it is unknown what material is needed to temper the flying sword.

"I asked Luo Ying, and meteorite iron is just right for her."

Ji An nodded slightly and said:

"That's good. After I get back, I will refine the ore and remove the impurities.

Master, use all the small merits left in your hands to exchange for Xuanmu Gathering Spirit Pills. It would be a waste to exchange them for spiritual objects now."

Ge Ying smiled and said:

“That’s exactly what it should be.

The remaining minor and major merits combined can be exchanged for 200 pills, and it will take about five years to complete the exchange.

The task of refining the Xuanmu Juling Pill within the sect is usually undertaken by me or your Senior Sister Yuefei.

If there is any left after handing it over to the sect, I will give it to you."
