Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 246 Ten Low-Grade Dao Seeds
The pills rolled in his palm, and one of them had two fiery red pill patterns.

"Six successful pills, one of which is a top-grade product. Not bad!"

Ji An happily used his finger-controlling skills to put the pills into two jade bottles.

He put the jade bottle into the storage bag, patted it a few times out of habit, then changed the seal in his hand and released the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique.

A ball of white mist as big as a millstone rolled up, crystal-clear raindrops like jade fell, and a moist breath filled the underground fire chamber.

Ji An leisurely cleaned the alchemy furnace. It took him nearly two years to finally refine all 140 furnaces of medicinal materials into Yan Yang Pills, and the Three Yang Pill Fire Art also reached the great perfection level.

As his life light continued to grow stronger, the time he could spend practicing each day increased, and he actually benefited a lot from practicing the Glazed Gold Jade Bone Body.

Therefore, he had little time to refine the elixir, and it took him three or four days on average to refine one furnace.

The raindrops fell on the alchemy furnace, making a crisp sound and washing away the ashes and filth inside.

Running water does not stale, water cleanses all things.

Ji An gradually gained a better understanding of the way of water.

The surging river water washes away the filth of the world, and these impurities are carried away along with the mud and sand, turning into river mud that harbors filth and dirt.

But these muds are the most fertile soil, from which real gold is born and emerges from the fire.

As time goes by, the world changes dramatically, and mountains rise from the bottom of the river.

All things in the world are interconnected and mutually constrained; solitary yin cannot produce life, and solitary yang cannot grow.
The white mist gradually dissipated and the rain stopped.

Ji An came back to his senses, with a look of realization in his eyes. A special spiritual power was spreading in his body, and the seeds of Tao in his acupoints were blooming.

The ten Dao seeds flickered in a regular pattern, like the echoes of stars in the sky.

He sank his consciousness into his dantian, and the stone turtle swam happily in the blue sea!

The eight trigrams stripes on the turtle's back are dark in color, as if containing an abyss.

The cracks that were originally all over the turtle's body are now finer and denser, as if forming smaller worlds.

[Tao Seed: Hundred Refinements into Gold (low quality), hidden in the Yunmen acupoint, comprehends the true meaning of the Xinjin Dao magic 'True Gold in Fire', and slightly improves the understanding of Xinjin Dao magic.]

[Tao Seed: Immovable as a Mountain (Low Grade), hidden in the Du Yu acupoint, comprehends the true meaning of the Wu Earth Dao magic 'Mountain', and slightly improves the understanding of Wu Earth Dao magic.]

"Wonderful!"

Ji An clapped his hands and laughed. At this point, all ten Dao seeds had reached the lower grade.

His practice has formed a perfect circle, and any progress in any link will be fed back to other links.

He walked out of the cave with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. Just then, a gust of wind blew, and his robe sleeves fluttered in the wind, making him look particularly noble.

The golden-winged eagle circling in the sky let out a roar, piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks, and the sound shook the sky.

The beast swooped down, its metallic feathers sparkling in the sunlight.

This beast had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. It landed beside Ji An, only half a head shorter than him.

The golden eagle's crest stood up, radiating aura from within, and it nuzzled its owner's chest with joy.

Then he raised his head and neighed softly.

Because of the blood contract, Ji An easily understood its expression.

Now it is no longer afraid of being bullied by the 'fat duck'!
Ji An smiled and reached out to stroke the feathers on its neck. The beastmaster squinted his eyes, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

Although the Gray-Feathered Sand Goose is a demon beast in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is not good at fighting.

Without the speed advantage, it can pose no threat to the golden-winged eagle.

The sand goose is cunning and intelligent, but due to the limitations of its bloodline level and species, it can only be an alternative means of transportation in the future.

Ji An said softly:
"Let's go, take me down the mountain."

The golden-winged eagle lowered its head slightly, and after its master sat down, it kicked its legs hard and flew up in an instant.

The takeoff speed was much higher than that of the sand goose! Ji An enjoyed the feeling of the wind blowing on his face.

Beside the cold pond, several empty wine jars were placed on the stone table.

Du Huaiyuan heard the eagle's cry and said with a smile:
"If my guess is correct, Junior Brother Ji has already walked out of the cave."

He raised his head and drank a glass of wine, saying enviously:

“Ever since Junior Brother Ji moved into Scarlet Flame Peak, this place has truly become a treasure land.

Many second-level spiritual plants were cultivated, and the spiritual objects and fruits obtained were handed over to the sect, so that every year, a large number of small merits could be easily obtained.

That would be fine, as my junior brother has trained many potential beast tamers.

The Golden-Winged Eagle with a top-grade bloodline, the Mutated Blue Water Turtle with a top-grade bloodline, and the Rock Armored Bear with a low-grade bloodline, given time, I will no longer be a match for these beasts."

He once intended to choose this mountain as his cave residence, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

No one had ever imagined that this area, which was not particularly suitable for planting, could actually cultivate so many second-level spiritual plants!
Liu Yu shook his head slightly, took a sip of wine, and said calmly:
“Don’t just look at the prosperity of others, but also look at the efforts behind them.”

He understood very well the effort required to cultivate a large number of second-level spiritual plants. There were also several spiritual farmers in the sect who used second-level medium-quality spiritual veins. Putting aside the inheritance of their predecessors, which spiritual farmer's temple was as prosperous as Chiyan Peak?

Junior Brother Ji not only mastered the planting spell to perfection, but his attainments in fighting spells were also astonishing.

In the past, he often came to Chiyan Peak to spar with the other party, and he knew clearly how profound Junior Brother Ji's attainments were in wind control techniques, exploding fireballs, water curtain techniques, and Panshan Jue.

Outsiders don’t know how much hard work is involved.

But judging from the results, the other party spent more time and energy than him.

“Of course I know what Junior Brother Ji has contributed, but it’s incomparable!

He was like a puppet focused on cultivation, never feeling the boredom of practice."

Du Huaiyuan's eyes flashed with admiration. Of all his fellow apprentices, he and Ji An had spent the most time together. Chiyan Peak brewed wine every year, and he usually stayed there for about two months, so he knew Ji An's schedule very well.

In the past, the other party practiced cultivation, made talismans, and practiced magic; now, the other party practices cultivation, makes talismans, and refines elixirs.

As he was speaking, Du Huaiyuan felt a shadow passing across the sky.

The next moment, Ji An fell from the sky.

"Haha, Senior Brother Liu's return to the sect means the Canglan Secret Realm is about to open."

He landed silently on the stone bench next to him.

“On the full moon night of next month, the secret realm will open.

Yesterday, Senior Sister Ge and I visited Master and received many secret medicines. This gave us greater confidence in entering the secret realm and fighting."

There was a gentle smile on his face, but his tone was sonorous and powerful. Liu Yu's eyes were firm, as if there were flames flickering in them.

He stood up, bowed slightly, and said:
“I came to Scarlet Flame Peak this time to thank my junior brother in person.

After eating the second-level Tianyuan pear you sent me, I have gained some insights and my practice has improved!"

Due to the intense fighting on the front lines, he left the sect for about two years.

After swallowing the Tianyuan Pear last night, he realized the method of combining water and fire. He was able to absorb the spiritual inspiration of water during his practice, which was a huge improvement.

"good sign!"

Ji An immediately helped the other person up and said with a smile:
"This is my senior brother's talent and luck. I just played a very small role."

"Without my junior brother's kindness in giving me the fruit, I wouldn't have achieved my enlightenment."

Liu Yu said softly, to be honest, if he were to buy spiritual fruits to eat, he would most likely not choose water-based spiritual fruits.

Du Huaiyuan next to him felt bitter. He also had to give a second-level Tianyuan pear. He just felt that it tasted good, could nourish the internal organs, and slightly increase his merits, but he didn't gain any understanding.

The two sat down, and Liu Yu asked curiously:

"I heard that Junior Brother is refining an elixir. I wonder what kind of elixir he is refining?"

He thought to himself that his junior fellow was now learning alchemy, which meant he had truly inherited his master's legacy.

"We are refining the Flaming Sun Pill. The medicinal materials for this kind of pill are easier to gather."

The market determines supply and demand. As more disciples practice the fire-based exercises, the sect's medicine garden grows more elixirs for refining the Flame Sun Pill.

"What percentage of the pill is currently completed?"

Ji An pondered and said:
"In the past one or two months, the success rate of alchemy has been about 70%, with an average of six pills produced per furnace."

After refining one hundred and forty furnaces, he produced 410 genuine pills and 22 high-quality pills.

From a pure profit perspective, this is a losing deal.

But he gained valuable alchemy experience, the value of which is immeasurable.

With his current level of alchemy, he can try to refine pills for the middle stage of foundation building.

"With this level, he can definitely be called an excellent alchemist."

Du Huaiyuan said that he chose the water method to make elixirs, and the success rate of refining related elixirs was quite high.

Even so, the success rate of refining elixirs for the initial stage of foundation building is only 75%.

However, he has been refining pills for more than forty years since he made his first batch of pills, so the two are not comparable.

After dinner, Du Huaiyuan and Xia Yuhan walked into the bamboo forest under the moon tacitly.

Liu Yu glanced at it and smiled gently:
"You know about them, right?"

“Of course I noticed what was happening right under my nose.

Yu Han will have no problem breaking through to the foundation building stage, and she's also an excellent spiritual chef. Senior Brother Du is good at brewing wine, and the two of them are a perfect match."

Ji An stretched out his hand and continued:
"Brother, let's go to the living room and talk."

The two entered the living room and the guest of honor took his seat.

“In the past few years, six second-level purple fire gourds have been cultivated in Scarlet Flame Peak.

Four were sold, and the remaining two were all refined into spiritual weapons.

Brother, when you go to the secret realm, it is better to take them all with you, just in case of emergency."

Not counting the two spiritual weapons that have been handed over to Liu Yu, Ji An still has three purple fire spiritual gourds and a top-grade purple fire gourd magic weapon.

Hearing that there were often overwhelming numbers of demonic insects on the front lines, he decided to make a few more spiritual weapons while he had the materials.

It can be prepared when not needed, but it can be left when not needed. This is his consistent principle.

“During the battle on the front lines, Junior Brother’s Spiritual Gourd was of great help.

I will remember your kindness, Junior Brother."

Liu Yu bowed. He had encountered a large number of demonic insects several times, but he only needed to use the Purple Fire Spirit Gourd, and even the insect monsters in the early stage of foundation building could not pass through the fire cloud.

If it weren’t for the magic gourd, I don’t know how much mana would be wasted to solve it.

There must be a demon cultivator hidden behind the demon insect. If you consume too much mana, you may be taken advantage of by the enemy.

A large amount of flame can be stored in the spiritual gourd. The Canglan Secret Realm is a place where the fire element is very strong, but it may not necessarily have magical uses.

Besides, it is also cost-effective to release the flame in the spirit gourd to deal with other social monsters.

"After returning from the secret realm, I hope that my junior brother will sell me two spiritual gourds. This kind of spiritual weapon can be very useful at certain times."
