Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 242 Analysis
Ji An took out the pill from the storage bag and checked it. The Yan Yang Pill was dark red in color, and the pill pattern was as red as fire.

It took a while to verify the fifty bottles of pills.

"Thank you for your hard work," he took out ninety medium-grade spirit stones, placed them on the table, and pushed them towards Wei Songnian.

"Brother, why did you buy so many Yanyang Pills?"

Wei Songnian was very curious. He knew that the other party was practicing the Wood Element Kung Fu and had no use for the Yan Yang Pill. He couldn't understand the purpose of buying the pill.

"I've been learning alchemy recently and have become proficient in refining Shenyuan Pills.

The next step is to refine the Yanyang Pill. With my current level of alchemy, I cannot receive the related alchemy tasks from the Work Hall.

I had no choice but to resort to this last resort, first handing in the pills to obtain the task, and then slowly refining the pills myself to increase my experience."

Ji An briefly explained it and told about his plans.

Wei Songnian grinned, showing a polite smile and said:
"Brother, it's easy to lose money if you do this."

Alchemy is not an easy task, otherwise all monks would choose the craft of alchemy.

You can take it yourself and earn resources for cultivation, so why not do it?
Alchemy has certain requirements for experience, comprehension, and strength of spiritual consciousness. In some ways, it is more difficult than comprehending the divine will of the technique.

"You have to believe in my strength!"

Ji An laughed, took out a storage bag, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
"This is the Shen Yuan Dan that I refined. The success rate is 70%, and on average, eight pills are made per furnace.

There are 800 genuine Shenyuan Pills in it. What is the current price of this kind of pill?"

During this period, he refined nearly two hundred batches of pills and felt that he had made great progress.

He sank his mind into his dantian and connected with the stone turtle for a moment.

[Spell: Three Yang Dan Fire Technique (Perfection 62%)]

After a period of time, this technique will also break through to the great perfection.

His alchemy skills improved rapidly, and the perfect level of Danhuo Jue played an indispensable role in this.

"Senior Brother's alchemy skills are so amazing?!"

Wei Songnian shouted in a low voice. He was the most skilled alchemist in the Wei family who made Shenyuan Pills. His level of making this kind of pill was about the same as that of Senior Brother Ji.

However, Wei's alchemist has been refining Shenyuan Dan for more than 40 years, and the two are completely incomparable.

“It’s not that great. I’m using the strength of my consciousness at the late stage of foundation building to refine Qi refining pills, so it’s normal for me to have such a high success rate.

If another cultivator in the late foundation building stage were to learn alchemy, he would probably be about the same as me, and there would be nothing to be proud of.

What is the current price of Shenyuan Dan in Mingfeng Mountain Immortal City?"

The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the more one can perceive the many subtle details in alchemy, and it will be much easier for high-level cultivators to learn alchemy.

However, there is not much profit in refining low-level pills, so it is not worth doing so.

In the sect, cultivators like Ji An who only return to learn alchemy in the late stage of foundation building are probably rare.

“Three spirit stones for one, the price has increased a lot compared to before.

There's no way around it, the number of Qi Refining cultivators is much greater than before."

Wei Songnian replied that starting from more than ten years ago, the three sects released a large number of meridian-opening pills, and the number of Qi-refining disciples in Xizhou grew wildly like weeds in a field.

As the base number of cultivators increases, there will naturally be many more disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining.

However, the spiritual medicines produced in the entire Xizhou are far from enough to meet the needs of so many cultivators.

He remembered that the price of Shenyuan Dan had always been maintained at two spirit stones per pill, so the price increase was quite large.

Take the Wei family of Xiaozhushan as an example. The number of family members in the Qi Refining stage has more than doubled. The originally harmonious family now has conflicts among the members due to the distribution of cultivation resources.

Ji An said quietly:
"The outbreak of demonic disasters is imminent, and the number of cultivators will drop rapidly in a few years.

After the war, I wonder how many monks will remain in Xizhou."

The purpose of the demon kings is to consume the number of low-level demon beasts, expand their territory, and screen out more promising demons.

The higher-ups of the human race's cultivators probably have similar plans.

He was very fortunate that his cultivation level improved smoothly, otherwise he would have been one of the many cannon fodders.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn. Wei Songnian, who was staying in the Mingfeng Mountain Fairy City, understood the current situation better.

The western area of ​​the fairy city gradually became a restricted area for human cultivators. Only a very small number of high-level cultivators were able to enter and hunt monsters.

Ji An hummed and said:

"Have you arranged for Qiuyun's foundation-building pill?"

There will be many benefits if the other party's Taoist partner can establish a foundation as soon as possible.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. I bought one at an auction half a month ago. Qiuyun is currently adjusting to her current state and will be preparing to establish her foundation in a few months."

Wei Songnian gritted his teeth. The price of the Foundation Establishment Pill was more expensive than before. He spent nearly eight thousand spirit stones to get one. He regretted not competing with all his strength in the previous times.

Even though he spent all the spirit stones he had accumulated, some clan members still gossiped about him, thinking that he could let his Taoist partner delay building their foundation for a few years and give priority to cultivating the family's direct descendants, which made him very angry.

Ji An tilted his head slightly and said:
"Yuhan, go to the warehouse and get two cans of premium Jade Dew and Golden Tooth tea."

The maid agreed and left. He then took out a fist-sized jar from his storage bag, examined it, and handed it over.
"Here is half a liang of second-level Jade Dew and Golden Bud. When Qiuyun is ready to break through, drink it. It should be able to reduce the resistance of the spiritual consciousness barrier."

The other party presented a soul-nourishing tree, which was definitely worth the money. He would take care of the other party for many years.

Wei Songnian immediately stood up, took the light green jade jar with both hands, and felt warm in his heart.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother."

At this moment, he was extremely grateful for the decision he had made. If it were just a daily business transaction, his senior brother would not have given such support. The top-grade Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea was a premium product used by cultivators in the late stage of foundation building to nourish their spirits.

He had only heard of it and had never seen the real thing.

He solemnly put the jade jar into the storage bag, then slowly sat down, opened his mouth several times, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Ji An paid attention to the other person's subtle expression and said with a smile:
"If you have something to say, just say it. It's not pleasant to watch."

He could tell that the other party had something to ask for, and if he could help, he would do so without hesitation.

Wei Songnian laughed dryly and stated his request:
"Brother, after the demonic disaster breaks out, the prices of all kinds of combat supplies will inevitably increase significantly. Stock up now and you will profit greatly in the future.

I would like to borrow some spirit stones from my senior brother to help me make ends meet. I will definitely reward you handsomely one day."

This is war profiteering, and Ji An knows very well how great the benefits will be.

Once the sect's spiritual veins were upgraded, he borrowed his master's spiritual stones to stockpile a batch of five elements essences and made a fortune.

The outbreak of the demon disaster is a major shock to the entire Xizhou cultivation world. As long as you can hold on until the end of the war, you will definitely earn more.

The prerequisite is to survive the war, otherwise nothing can be achieved.

Xia Yuhan walked into the living room, placed two porcelain jars on the table, and walked aside.

Ji An said in a deep voice:

"Yuhan, please go out first. Let's discuss something."

Some things need to be kept confidential.

"Yes," the maid left and closed the door tightly.

"Junior brother, what arrangements will your family make after the war breaks out?
How many of the clan members will stay in Mingfeng Mountain, and how many will return to guard the clan's ancestral land?"

Ji An's voice was low, barely loud enough for the other person to hear clearly.

"Half of the tribe will stay in Mingfeng Mountain. I plan to let Qiuyun stay in Mingfeng Mountain as well. There are more opportunities there."

"Junior brother, have you ever thought about what the fate of these people would be if Mingfeng Mountain fell?"

Wei Songnian's forehead immediately became covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and he said in a trembling voice:

"This, this is impossible, right?

The three sects invested a huge amount of materials to build a second-level, top-grade spiritual vein fairy city.

On the outskirts of the fairy city is a blood-sucking vine area that is thousands of feet deep and guarded by eight medium-sized strongholds.

There are currently three Golden Core Elders in charge of the Immortal City. When the demonic disaster breaks out, more Golden Core Elders will surely come to support us."

He couldn't even imagine how much investment was needed to build a fairy city, and the profits generated every day were also enormous.

The sect will not give up on such a huge benefit until the last moment.

Mingfeng Mountain Fairy City has been doing publicity, telling the story of the power comparison of the forces in Xizhou during the two outbreaks of demon disasters.

Judging from the propaganda, compared with the last outbreak of the demon disaster, the human race has two more Golden Core ancestors, nearly thirty more Chao Yuan period cultivators, and more than 2,600 more foundation-building cultivators.

“During the last demonic disaster, four sects were destroyed, over two hundred families were wiped out, and countless independent cultivators were killed or injured.

After three thousand years of recuperation, the vitality of the human cultivators has indeed recovered and has made greater progress.

However, Mingfeng Mountain Fairy City is only a high-grade spiritual vein after all, and it is quite difficult to defend it by relying on the mountain protection formation."

Ji An analyzed and believed that if the spiritual vein of Mingfeng Mountain could reach the second-grade top grade, it would still be very likely to be defended.

If the grade of the spiritual vein differs by one level, the impact will be huge.

Wei Songnian stood up, bowed and said:

"Brother, please teach me how to do this!"

The family has invested a lot in the Immortal City. If the Immortal City is lost, everything will be over.

Ji An shook his head slightly and said solemnly:

"You know what to do, and that's a decision you have to make.

It is not scary to lose interests and spiritual veins during a demon disaster. There will definitely be a larger living space after the demon disaster.

But if people are gone, everything is gone.”

The outbreak of demonic disasters is like a river bursting its banks, and even those who stay behind will be affected.

All of this was his analysis, and he had no real insight into how things would develop.

He paused, and said in a grim tone:

"What happened today, I will tell you, don't let anyone else know."

When these words were spread today, they seriously shook the morale of the army.

He took a risk in giving this advice.

Wei Songnian nodded heavily and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his Taoist robe:
"I understand. I will keep your words to myself."

He understood that the other party's position allowed him to obtain more information and see more things clearly. The judgment he made might not be correct, but it must have sufficient basis.

When the demonic disaster breaks out, he will definitely be recruited to join the sect's team.
What we need to do now is to make the most secure arrangements for our families.

He no longer mentioned the matter of borrowing spirit stones. If they could survive the demon disaster, obtaining resources would be much easier than it was now.

If you can't get through it, everything is meaningless.
