Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 254 Sad Story

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, for your great achievement. I'm so envious that you can stay in the cave without moving and yet you can still encounter the good fortune of having spirit stones fall from the sky.

This situation is worth a drink."

Ye Changqing bowed and smiled, a look of joy on his brows.

You can’t miss this meal of good wine and meat!

The other party is really blessed. He can get unexpected wealth by going to Liangqiu to help, and the same is true in his own cave.

Cultivating immortals also requires chance and luck, and the other party’s luck is good enough.

"No problem, today I'll bring out the second-level pine nut wine, I guarantee that you will be satisfied.

When you leave, take some back with you, and bring two jars for Uncle Zhang to try as well."

Today is the day I officially get in touch with Master Zhang, so it's not too strange to give him some small gifts. Otherwise, forcing gifts on someone will always give people the impression that they are trying to gain personal advantage.

Ji An pursed his lips and licked them a few times before saying:

"Brother, the environment here is too harsh, let's go out and talk."

He had already used the fire-avoiding beads, but the magic weapon could not block the endless invading fire evil.

The Green Leaf Fire Lotus has the ability to dissolve fire evil, but the range of purification is limited to a few feet around the spiritual plant, and it is not possible for many people to absorb and exhale spiritual energy here.

If he stayed a little longer, he would feel as if he was breathing fire and his internal organs were burning.

"The environment here is indeed not conducive to my junior brother," Ye Changqing followed behind and left.

He practiced the fire-based martial arts and felt like a fish in water here.

Although there is some fire evil, there are ways to resolve it in the exercises, so this is still a treasure land for cultivation.

When they were about to leave the cave, Ye Changqing said again:

"Junior Brother, although Uncle Zhang hasn't explained it, I want to remind you not to spread the news about what's happening here."

When the news of Qi Zhi's birth spreads, who knows how much prying and fighting it will attract, causing unnecessary trouble.

"Don't worry, brother, I will keep my mouth shut.

The tunnel was dug by me and the two beasts, without anyone else's help."

If things are not kept secret, it will cause harm. Thinking of this, he felt that the protection measures for the soul-nourishing tree were too poor.

"Brother, how can I exchange for a mimicry array that can seal a hole this size? I want two more sets."

The mimicry array will not block the light, and only a small portal needs to be installed in the passage where the soul-nourishing tree is planted.

At that time, order Jinmao to guard the gate, close it during the day and open it at night so as not to delay the spiritual tree from absorbing the moonlight.

"This small mimicry array is relatively cheap, only requiring 400 small gong per set."

The magic circle needs to be driven by medium-grade spirit stones and must be kept open at all times, which is a considerable expense in the long run.

Ye Changqing then thought about the other party's financial resources and felt that this expenditure was just a drop in the bucket.

He felt that Junior Brother Ji's current family background was not much different from that of a veteran cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Ji An nodded slightly. After careful calculation, the price was not cheap, but the mimicry array also had a defensive function, so it was still worth the money.

Back at the cold pond, Ji An ordered:

"Prepare for the dinner. Take out ten jars of second-grade pine wine."

The two returned to the living room and sat down. Ye Changqing looked around and said with a smile:

"Junior brother, the layout here is still so simple. It's great that you can concentrate on practicing Taoism without being disturbed by external things!"

There was a picture of seeking immortals and asking for the way hanging in the middle hall, and there were a few tables and chairs, nothing else.

"got used to."

Ji An responded that he was now in the rising stage of his cultivation and of course he had the energy to practice.

He changed the subject and asked curiously:
"Brother, what is Uncle Zhang's green-skinned gourd spiritual weapon? What grade is it, and how fast can it fly?"

The fact that the other two were able to reach the Red Flame Peak so quickly must have been thanks to that spiritual weapon.

"The gourd is called the Jade Flame Purple Spirit Gourd, and it's a second-grade, top-grade spiritual weapon. When Master-Uncle controls the spiritual gourd, his flying speed is three to four times faster than the sect's Spirit Boat Gourd.

The wind was so strong while I was riding that I needed to use my magical tools to protect myself."

"If you think this is just a flying spiritual weapon, you are totally wrong. It has the same function as your Purple Fire Spirit Gourd. It can nourish flames and release flame attacks.

Larger capacity and greater fire damage."

“The Dan Fire of a Chao Yuan Stage cultivator is stronger than many second-grade mid-grade Earth Fires.

The three Scarlet Flame Soul-Severing Swords are constantly being tempered in the spiritual weapon set. It is a set of second-grade, top-grade spiritual weapons. This is the attack spiritual weapon of the master uncle."

"One gourd with multiple uses, how wonderful! I wonder if the Purple Fire Spirit Gourd can be made into such a spiritual weapon?"

Ji An's eyes lit up when he heard this. A spiritual weapon that combined attack, nourishment, and flight into one perfectly met his requirements.

Filling it with the cultivator's elixir fire is equivalent to constantly refining the spiritual weapon, saving a lot of effort.

Ye Changqing bared his teeth, "You're just daydreaming. The gourd used to refine spiritual tools isn't even of the second-grade upper grade, so it's impossible to stack so many spiritual restrictions."

"Hehe," Ji An scratched his head, "Master, do you have any spirit gourd seeds?"

"No, I've heard Uncle Zhang talk about this before. This is a spiritual plant he discovered while traveling, and it has two Jade Flame Gourds growing on it.

This kind of spiritual plant can grow to the second-level top-grade quality, and can be used as a raw material for magic weapons.

However, the place where he found the spirit gourd was too far from the sect, and it was unknown how long it would take for the spirit plant to fully mature. He plucked a gourd from the vine of the spirit plant, and then used a formation to cover the spirit plant, hoping to obtain top-grade materials.

"Every ten years, my uncle would return to his old place to inspect it. About twenty years ago, when he returned, he discovered that the concealing formation was still there, but the spirit gourd had vanished. Most infuriatingly, there was a jade slip hanging where the spirit gourd had grown. Inside, a message read, 'Thank you, fellow Daoist, for the gift of the treasure.' My uncle was furious."

"According to my uncle, he estimated that the spiritual plant would take another thirty to forty years to mature. It must have been forced to ripen by someone using a secret technique, causing the spiritual vine to dry up.

He sighed more than once, making wedding clothes for others."

What a sad story! Ji An was also furious. If Uncle Zhang got the mature gourd, there would definitely be seeds in the sect, and that would make things much easier.

"Hey, if you encounter something like this, you will definitely be furious. Uncle Master is still upset about it, right?"

"Who says it isn't? It's fate."

Ye Changqing let out a long sigh. This kind of spiritual seed is hard to come by. If the sect can get the seeds, it will have an additional foundation.

After a moment of silence, he said seriously:
"Brother, let's talk business.

Now I have a difficult task. After thinking it over again and again, I still think it is safest for you to carry out it.

Due to the fierce fighting on the front lines, there has been a huge loss of various supplies, and the most prominent problem is the problem of food supply."

He explained the current difficulties and the predicament of Luofeng Valley in detail, and said with embarrassment:
"We must find spiritual farmers to grow spiritual rice and related medicinal herbs in large quantities. Time is short and the task is heavy. I plan to assign you and Junior Brother Kong Yunyi to be primarily responsible for this matter.

You just need to be responsible for planting, I will assign other people to handle the harvesting and refining of the elixirs."

Cultivators above the Chao Yuan stage can rely on absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy to maintain physical consumption, but many cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages must replenish their physical and spiritual energy through diet.

Ji An nodded slightly and responded:

"It is my duty. Don't worry, brother."

The outbreak of the demon disaster is a great calamity for the world of immortal cultivation in Xizhou. He has to either support the front line from the rear or go to the front line. He chose the former.

If he really has to go to Mingfeng Mountain when his energy is running out, he will obey the arrangement.

Under the nest, have the eggs finished?
"Okay, the sect will requisition all the spiritual fields near Scarlet Flame Peak. Junior brother, please plant as much land as possible.

Just plant yellow sprout rice and a certain proportion of polygonatum and ginseng. The sect will be responsible for the seeds, and the rewards will be calculated after the war is over."

Yellow sprout rice has the shortest maturation time and is most suitable for the current situation.

A gleam flashed in Ye Changqing's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"This matter is extremely urgent. We cannot let the monks on the front lines fight on an empty stomach.

I will complete the requisition of the spiritual farm tomorrow and will then hand it over to my junior fellow apprentice.

Junior Brother, you have to sacrifice some time for cultivation and make sure you have enough spiritual rice and herbs for alchemy."

"I'll take care of things, brother, you can rest assured."

He paused, frowned and said:

"Brother, at this critical moment, Luofeng Valley is suffering from a serious insect plague. There is something intriguing behind this."

Luofeng Valley is famous for its alchemy and has many spiritual farmers as its backing. On weekdays, it must strictly guard against insect plagues. If there is any clue, it will be dealt with urgently, and it is impossible for a serious insect plague to occur.

There must be someone behind this incident who is causing trouble.

Ye Changqing sent a message:
"It's highly likely that demon cultivators are fanning the flames. The sect's law enforcement department has increased patrols to prevent such incidents from happening again."

The sect covers a vast area, and the area that the mountain protection formation can defend is only within the range of the spiritual vein.

Ji An nodded slightly, as long as the sect was prepared.

The next day, at the beginning of the afternoon.

Ji An drove the shuttle and looked around Chiyan Peak.

Ye Changqing guided him and said:

"There are about 10,000 acres of spiritual fields nearby. Junior brother, do your best."

Ji An's expression suddenly became stiff, and he smiled bitterly:

"Brother, you think too highly of me. I'm lucky enough to be able to plant a few thousand acres."

Mana power is a big problem. Fortunately, he has reached the seventh level of foundation building and all his planting spells have reached the level of great perfection, otherwise he would be exhausted from this job.

He frowned slightly and said solemnly:

"From now on, I will go out to cast spells at the hour of Mao every day, and make sure my magic power is always full.

Until noon, or until all the mana is exhausted, what do you think, brother?"

Because he still has the spiritual fields of Chiyan Peak to take care of, doing so is almost equivalent to giving up cultivation.

“Junior brother, you have worked hard. The sect will remember your contributions.

This is the most difficult moment, but it will be much better once you get through it.

When the spiritual grain outside matures, the disciples in charge of assisting you will allocate the planting ratio of spiritual rice and medicinal herbs based on the number of acres of spiritual fields you can cultivate."

After some time, the situation in Luofeng Valley will gradually stabilize. The independent cultivators in Mingfeng Mountain have no supply channels. If one dies, there will be one less, and the consumed rations will gradually decrease.

The two returned to Red Flame Peak and landed at the Cold Pond.

Ye Changqing took out a storage bag and handed it over, "Inside are three sets of mimicry arrays."

Ji An took the item, examined it, and took out his pale golden jade token.
"Brother, please deduct the small merit. I will cast the spell and plant from tomorrow."

"Good! I will arrange for my disciples to accompany us and count the acres of land."

　The previous chapter was patched. Originally, Zhang Zizhao left without giving any great merit. Now it has been added.
