Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 24 Tian Qingbai

After getting off the fishing pier, Ji An said goodbye to Liang Qiu and went to the street stall square to look for Wei Songnian.

The willows on the bank swayed swayingly, and he couldn't help shivering.

We fell into the lake at dusk and had no dry clothes to change into.

The wind was strong on the lake, and the cool breeze had been blowing for a long time, and even a body at the third level of Qi Refining could hardly bear it.

He stopped and mobilized his spiritual power to flow through his limbs and bones several times to dispel the coldness in his body and warm up his body.

At this time, the Taoist robe was half dry. He tidied his hair, tied it up again, and inserted a wooden hairpin.

When he found Wei Songnian, he was busy packing up his stall, his elongated shadow blocking the light. He instinctively raised his head and said in surprise:

"Why is Junior Brother so embarrassed?"

"Some embarrassing things, I don't want to talk about them anymore," Ji An waved his hand and took out a jade bottle that was still damp.
"Brother, give me an estimate."

Originally, he wanted to exchange the wooden beads for contribution points in the sect, but since the exchange for the fourth level of the spell can be "paid in installments", he decided to exchange the wooden beads for spirit stones.

"What good stuff did you get, Junior Brother?"

Wei Songnian took the jade bottle with a smile. He found a dry cloth to wipe it and poured out more than twenty light green beads the size of longans.

He placed the beads one by one in front of his eyes, looked at them carefully for a few times, and said lightly:

"Low-quality wood elemental beads, three for one spirit crystal."

"so cheap?"

“Junior brother’s Wood Yuan Pearl should be condensed from ordinary plants. Spiritual farmers can condense it themselves. It cannot be sold at a high price and is mainly used to increase the production of spiritual grain.

Only Wood Yuan Pearls condensed from higher-level spiritual creatures are in high demand and can be used to increase the age of spiritual medicines."

The age of medicine refers to the medicinal power. When practitioners talk about the age of medicine of one hundred years, five hundred years, or one thousand years, they all mean this.

Otherwise, where would there be so many elixirs that have grown for hundreds or thousands of years for practitioners to use?
Advanced planting spells combined with special medicine field arrays can accelerate the "growth" of elixirs, thereby increasing their age.

Among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, it is very difficult for spiritual farmers to earn crystals in the early stage, but if they can really make it to the later stage, they are still very popular.

At that time, alchemists also had to humble themselves and win over spiritual farmers.

Apart from the magical herbs and medicines that cannot be cultivated artificially, a large part of the medicinal materials are cultivated. There are too many variables in relying on finding them in the wild.

Why is the inheritance of sects and large families relatively stable? Because they all have medicine gardens that have been run for generations, and they can naturally continuously refine various elixirs for their disciples to improve their cultivation.

Take the Jinling Sect as an example. Although the sect is not good at refining medicine, it can refine several batches of elixirs such as Foundation Establishment Pills and Essence Nourishing Pills that can help people break through to a higher level every few years.

"Junior brother, will you sell it?"

Wei Songnian asked, and his evaluation of this junior fellow disciple increased a few points.

In three months, the other party improved both spells to the minor success level, which shows that he is indeed very talented in planting spells.

He decided in his heart that after the next season of spiritual grain harvest, he would go and have a few drinks with the other party to strengthen their relationship.

Of course, what is more important is additional investment.

He wanted to see if the other party would make any progress in the next three months, which would determine how much he would raise the stakes.

"Sell."

Ji An nodded and said that he would have to wait until the spiritual grains were in ear in a few dozen days before he could use these wooden spirit beads.

An ordinary jade bottle cannot prevent the evaporation of spiritual energy, and if it is kept in the hands, it will probably become waste.

"Okay, there are 23 in total, counting eight spirit crystals for Junior Brother."

Wei Songnian skillfully poured out the wooden spirit beads and placed them into a specially made jade bottle.

Inferior quality wood element beads do not contain much wood element spiritual energy, and the quantity is too small to be sold at a high price.

If you can acquire a large quantity and encounter the right opportunity, you can still make a decent profit. The sect's medicine garden must deliver spiritual medicines on time and in fixed quantities. Sometimes there will be some unexpected situations, and the Wood Yuan Pearl will be needed to improve the quality of the medicine.

If the quantity of low-quality wooden beads is large enough, they can also be used in an emergency.

"Junior brother, if you have anything you need to buy recently, please let me know.

In a few days, I will be away for ten days or half a month, taking the sect's flying boat to Qingyun Immortal City to sell some odds and ends."

Ji An shook his head. He wanted to buy it now but he didn't have any crystals.

He cupped his hands and said sincerely:
"I didn't expect that Senior Brother has such a wide range of business opportunities. I admire you so much!"

He had always thought that the other party was just a middleman of the sect, but he didn't expect that the scope of his business would extend beyond the sect.

Either you have the means, or you have connections, or both.

"You're welcome," Wei Songnian waved his hand with a smile. The business in the Immortal City was where he earned most of his spirit stones.

Tian Qingbai grabbed the purple clay teapot, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and shook his head contentedly.

He is one hundred and thirty years old this year and just broke through to the fourth level of foundation building a few days ago.

After spending nearly ten years to advance from the first level of foundation building to the second level, he realized that no matter how hard he tried in this life, he would never be able to advance to the Chaoyuan period unless he encountered a heaven-defying opportunity.

There are seven or eight hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Jinling Sect. With so many people wanting to make progress, the competition is too fierce.

The sect produces a lot, but there are too many wolves and too little meat, so there is never enough to go around.

He only has middle-grade qualifications, and without enough crystals, pills and other external objects to help him, improving his cultivation is just a pipe dream.

It's more than enough for people to stay in the sect and live a stable life, but if they want to get a great opportunity, they can only dream about it.

If you want to progress faster, you have to go out and look for opportunities yourself.

Only if you can find rare spiritual objects and medicines, or explore the caves of masters, will you be able to obtain sufficient rewards to help your practice.

It sounds simple, but if you go out without a plan or clue, it would be no different from committing suicide.

Among the sect's foundation-building cultivators, too many have encountered bottlenecks and gone out to look for opportunities, but only a few have returned.

Many people only see those lucky people who make rapid progress after returning to the sect, but have they ever looked directly at the countless bones on the road to cultivation?

His ambition has been worn away by the years. Besides, he has worked hard for half his life and it is time for him to enjoy himself.

So he simply took in more beautiful concubines to expand his family, cultivate more immortal seeds for the old Tian family, and earn more resources for his descendants.

Even if you can't do it yourself, it's a success if your children and grandchildren can do it.

The General Affairs Hall has many affairs to deal with, and the foundation-building monks who are interested in practicing cultivation would rather avoid the tasks here.

Tian Qingbai was an alchemist, but his skills were mediocre, so he took this job.

Only after truly taking control of the General Affairs Hall did I realize that the profits here are quite lucrative if you squeeze them out!

"Uncle Master, Li Changfeng wants to see you."

"Changfeng, come in," Tian Qingbai put on a majestic expression.

"Uncle Master, when you were away yesterday, a spiritual farmer disciple came to exchange for the fourth-level planting technique. I have registered his information. Please comment on it."

Li Changfeng presented a booklet to the other party.

"Yes, another good immortal seedling has emerged, and the prosperity of the sect is just around the corner."

Tian Qingbai glanced at the booklet and laughed in his heart. The profits here are quite lucrative if you squeeze them out!

If a disciple masters a planting spell, the sect will reward him with 50 contribution points as encouragement. However, the disciples don’t know this rule!

You don’t have to do anything and you will get 100 contribution points.
