Chapter 275 Nine levels of foundation building
Jia Yu sighed in his heart and felt that he was getting old.

As a Chaoyuan-stage cultivator, his comprehension of the Wood Element could not reach this level.

A junior in the foundation-building stage has actually comprehended the technique to this level. I'm afraid that the senior who created the technique never expected this situation?

A glint of hope flashed in his eyes. Only by continuously producing such cultivators could the sect become more powerful.

Because of the accumulation of many predecessors, the Jindan cultivator was born. In the future, the sect may be able to become a Yuanying sect!
He descended slowly, softly, without making a sound.

Ji An, who was practicing Qingmu Changchun Gong, felt a slight vibration. He slowly stopped practicing. The strange phenomenon during the practice was like a beauty in a dream, disappearing without a trace.

At this moment, the morning sun is shining overhead, and the golden light gives everything a layer of solemnity.

"Uncle Master, you are here! Please forgive my rudeness.

I thought I couldn't waste time, so I practiced for a while."

Ji An smiled gently, his tone very humble.

If the other party had not helped him, it would have been impossible for him to receive the extra grace from the ancestor.

"It's great that you can seize every moment to improve your cultivation. The sect needs cultivators like you."

Jia Yu nodded slightly, opened the door, and said,

"Did Senior Brother Lin Qiubai mention that the divine power you've comprehended now is extremely useful for opening up the Wood Mansion?!"

Ji An was stunned, "No."

He only knew that the general direction of Chaoyuan period practice was to open up the divine palace, polish the spiritual power and nourish the five energies. He had never come across any specific practice methods, and he had never seen such techniques in the Transmission Hall.

As he spoke, he took off the pendant from his neck and put it into the storage bag, then walked up the stairs and into the hall.

He took a quick look and found that the guardian beast Yanzu was not there.

The two sat down, and Ji An said:

"Uncle Master, can you tell me how to open up the Mu Mansion?"

Jia Yu smiled and shook his head:

"If your cultivation level is not high enough, contacting a more profound method will only increase your troubles. When you break through to the Chaoyuan stage, the ancestor will personally explain the path of cultivation to you.

My explanation may not be clear enough and may have a negative impact on you."

He himself has not yet opened up the Mu Mansion, and only has a grasp of the theory. How can he teach his disciples?

He held out his hand and said, "Give me the jade token. You came here so hastily today. I'll do the job for you."

There is no need to ask, the disciple must go through the process of exchanging for Peiyuan Dan.

Ji An chuckled twice and handed over the pale golden sign:
“The sooner we can finalize it, the more at ease we can be.

"Master also knows that my master's life span is drawing to a close, and I only hope that I can break through the Chao Yuan stage as soon as possible so that she will have no regrets."

“You are indeed filial, that’s right. The sect will have another Chao Yuan period inheritance in the future.

You are already in the late stage of foundation building and need to train disciples for the sect, but now you will not be assigned the task of recruiting disciples.

When you break through to the Chaoyuan stage and the demonic disaster ends, you will select a disciple."

"No problem. The sect's needs are my mission," Ji An said, changing the subject. "Why haven't Senior Brother Liu Yu and Senior Sister Ge Luoying arranged to accept any disciples?"

Taking in a disciple is not necessarily a bad thing. Through teaching and learning, he should also be able to gain new insights.

Besides, when a monk teaches his disciples, it is impossible for him to give instructions in person all the time.

Just set aside two or three hours every month to answer the questions they encounter in their practice. It won’t waste much time at all.

“They are monks who excel at fighting, and their requirements are different from yours.

Plus, the demonic disaster has broken out, so the task of recruiting disciples will be put off until after the war."

Jia Yu placed the jade tablet on the spirit plate and manipulated it for a while, then said:

"The exchange procedure has been successfully completed. You are the sixth disciple to receive the Peiyuan Pill.

After deducting the 24,000 small merits, the 26,000 small merits owed to the sect must be repaid within five years. You must remember this clearly."

"Understood. I can guarantee that I can repay it within five years."

Ji An put away the jade token and said with uneasiness:

"It's a bit unsafe. I wonder if there are any channels outside the sect to buy Peiyuan Dan?"

If the alchemist had any problems with his performance, he would not be able to get the elixir, which was something he did not want to see.

"I understand your concerns, but don't worry, the sect is looking for a solution."

Jia Yu repeated the ancestor's instructions.

"Then I'm relieved. I have another question. Has the number of Xuanmu Gathering Spirit Pills I can exchange for increased every year?"

Ji An asked. Now he only had more than seventy pills in his hand, which could only last for more than half a year.

If there is not enough supply of elixirs, the speed of cultivation will inevitably be slower.

The sect suffered many casualties in the Canglan Secret Realm and Mingfeng Mountain Fairy City. I wonder if there are any late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who practiced the Wood Element Kung Fu who were killed.

However, this possibility is not very high, as most of these cultivators are alchemists or something like that.

"I'll help you look up the disciple's information," Jia Yu probed his consciousness into the spirit disk and said after a moment:

"An alchemist has voluntarily given up the right to exchange pills every year. I can grant you an exchange quota of 24 pills.

In another six months, you can come and exchange for the Xuanmu Gathering Spirit Pill."

This means that the alchemist feels that there is no hope of making further progress, so he gives up practicing.

"Thank you, uncle."

Ji An smiled slightly. He had an exchange quota of 48 pills per year. Liu Suyun could help him exchange 10 pills. If he could get 24 more, he would have enough for most of the year.

"You can't exchange pills on credit, and you still owe a lot of debt to the sect. Boy, if you don't have a big income, life will be difficult."

Jia Yu reminded him that he understood the situation of Chiyan Peak. Although there were many second-level spiritual plants, it would take three years at the earliest and five years at the latest for the spiritual fruit trees to bear fruit, so it might not be enough time to repay the debt.

"I have my own plans for repaying the sect's debt."

Second-grade low-quality pine nuts and black-leaf sword bamboo leaves are produced every year. Second-grade medium-quality spiritual peach trees are likely to bear fruit within five years. If that doesn't work, top-quality Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea can also be handed in.

I have accumulated a lot of connections over the years, and I can always borrow enough money to repay my debts by borrowing from everyone.

Besides, who knows how many second-level spiritual trees can be cultivated in five years, and the resources of Chiyan Peak will only become more abundant.

The two chatted for a while, and then Ji An stood up and said goodbye.

The next day, Ji An drove the shuttle to Yulong Peak.

This mountain is planted with Canglong trees, which is the main production area of ​​the sect's Canglong trees, and is also the dojo of Senior Sister Zhong Yuefei.

In the cave, Zhong Yuefei smiled slightly:
"It's strange that Junior Brother didn't practice hard at Scarlet Flame Peak."

This junior fellow's characteristic of being 'immovable' is well known to those close to him.

"I haven't visited you for a long time. The Tianyuan pears were ripe a few days ago, so I sent some to you to taste." Ji An took out a gift box and presented it to her. There were four first-grade top-grade Tianyuan pears in it. This kind of spiritual fruit is also very good for cultivators who practice the wood-type exercises.

"No merit, no reward," Zhong Yuefei chuckled, covering her mouth. "Junior brother, just tell me what you want to say."

If an ascetic is attentive to others for no reason, he must be asking for something.

"Hehe," Ji An laughed twice, not feeling embarrassed by having his thoughts seen through, and generously explained his purpose:

"Senior Sister, I would like to buy some Xuanmu Gathering Spirit Pills from you every year. Is that possible?"

Among the alchemists in the sect who can make this kind of elixir, Ning Cuiya is one of them.

Now that Master has a short life span, the number of pills he refines is much less than before, so he can only ask this Senior Sister for help.

"Of course, I wonder what spiritual item you are willing to exchange for it?"

Zhong Yuefei readily agreed. As her alchemy experience continued to improve, her success rate in refining the Xuanmu Juling Pill was close to 80%.

After completing the sect's mission, he accumulated a lot of pills, in addition to those he took himself.

Most of the cultivators in the sect who are in the late stage of foundation building and practice the wood-type skills are alchemists. These elixirs are either handed over to the treasure pavilion in exchange for small merits, or traded out through other channels to obtain spiritual medicines.

As an alchemist, of course he likes to stockpile high-level elixirs.

Now that my junior fellow apprentice wants a favor, I can help him, especially since he has a bright future.

“Currently, among the various products produced in Scarlet Flame Peak, Senior Sister can use various spiritual fruits.

Second-grade lower-grade Biluo Fruit, Earth Spirit Fruit, and Tianyuan Pear can all be exchanged. The Dragon Blood Tree has also reached the second-grade lower grade. If Senior Sister wants this kind of spiritual fruit in the future, she can trade it. Second-grade mid-grade spiritual peaches can also be traded when they bloom and bear fruit."

Ji An started with a bunch of empty promises. There was nothing he could do. He had the potential but nothing in hand.

Zhong Yuefei saw through the trick at a glance and chuckled:
"So, Junior Brother wants to get something for nothing?"

Ji An smiled apologetically and explained:
"How can this be considered a free-for-nothing deal? Could it be that all the second-level spirit wood on Red Flame Peak is fake?"

He paused and said in a deep voice:
"To be honest, Senior Sister, I met Master yesterday. At my suggestion, she took the Longevity Pill. She said she hoped she could see me break through the Chao Yuan Stage in her lifetime."

As he spoke, he released the spiritual pressure of the eighth level of foundation building, and then quickly restrained it.

Zhong Yuefei's eyes shone with the light of seeing a rare treasure, and she exclaimed in a low voice:
"If I remember correctly, it's only been three years since Junior Brother reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment?"

Breaking through a small realm of the late foundation building stage in three years is something that even a cultivator with earth-grade qualifications cannot do!

Breaking through the realm is not something that can be achieved by accumulating enough mana. Cultivators will inevitably encounter bottlenecks, which is the most time-consuming thing. How many cultivators have wasted decades trying to break through the late stage of foundation building!
This junior fellow not only accumulated mana quickly, but also did not encounter any bottlenecks during the improvement process, which shocked her.

It took her eight years to break through the late stage of foundation building, and she has been in the seventh stage of foundation building for twelve years. She is still honing her magic power to break through the bottleneck.

"Yes, it's been exactly three years. Uncle Jia Yu from the Treasure Pavilion said that with my understanding of the divine will of the martial arts, breaking through to the Chaoyuan stage will be a piece of cake.

I can now obtain 80 Xuanmu Juling Pills from other channels every year, and the annual shortfall is about . Please help me, Senior Sister."

"Junior brother's cultivation involves Master's expectations. I am willing to help you. Junior brother, please repay me with a second-grade mid-grade spiritual peach in the future."

Zhong Yuefei knew very well that the other party would not need the Xuanmu Juling Pill after breaking through to the ninth level of foundation building. This was a favor owed to the future Chaoyuan stage cultivator.

Although the two are brothers from the same school, they have not interacted much before, so this is a good opportunity to strengthen their relationship.

She stood up and said, "Junior brother, please wait a moment. I will go get the medicine."

After a while, Zhong Yuefei came out with a tray and said:
"These are the sixty-four Xuanmu Gathering Spirit Pills I've accumulated over the past few years. Junior brother, please take a look.

I will take care of the shortage of forty pills every year. You just need to practice hard to improve your cultivation.

If Junior Brother can achieve a breakthrough, not only Master, but all of the Junior Brothers will be happy.”

The other party broke through the eighth level of foundation building and became the one with the highest cultivation among all the brothers.

She originally thought that Liu Yu was the cultivator with the greatest hope of breaking through to the Chaoyuan stage, but she never expected that there were others who were even more dormant.

Ji An checked the pills and bowed slightly:

"Sister, I support you. I will keep it in mind. How about we calculate the value of the pills based on the small merits?"

One pill equals forty small merits.

The spiritual peaches will also be deducted according to the small merits earned from submitting them to the sect. In the future, I will prioritize keeping the portion that Senior Sister needs."

The prices set by the sect are acceptable to everyone.

"Of course, that's the fairest way."

Zhong Yuefei nodded with satisfaction. Although she might suffer a loss in the short term, she would make a fortune in the long run.

Junior brother has only needed the Xuanmu Gathering Spirit Pill in the last three to five years, but she can get the Lingtao for many years.

After the transaction was completed, the two began to discuss cultivation.

Since they both practiced Qing Mu Chang Chun Gong, they had a lot in common.

Before they knew it, more than an hour had passed, and what the two had learned had confirmed each other, and they had both gained something.

Ji An returned to Chiyan Peak and began to stay at home.

All his problems were solved, and he only needed to concentrate on his cultivation.

Practice for three and a half hours in the morning and evening, and then spend another half an hour practicing the secret method to cultivate the life light.

The rest of the time he tends to the spiritual fields, refines pills, or practices physical exercises. He only sleeps for two hours a day.

The practice of physical training exercises requires various external objects to speed up the process, but he did not use them. He simply used his magic power to nourish his body and used the exercises as a health-preserving exercise.

Spring goes and autumn comes, three years of cold and heat.

On this day, Wei Songtao was directing his disciples to cut down Xuanyang wood when he suddenly heard a long roar filled with joy passing through the forest.

Immediately afterwards, a eagle cry that pierced the clouds and split the rocks shook the four directions, and a small black dot swooped down from the sky and rushed towards the direction of the cold pond.

"Taozi, what's going on?"

The gray-haired spiritual farmer put away his woodcutting tool, sat down on the ground and gasped for breath, as controlling the tool consumed too much mana.

"How would I know? Everyone, take a break for a quarter of an hour to adjust your breathing, and then we can get back to work later."

Wei Songtao is Wei Songnian's half-brother. He is just twenty years old this year and has only low-level aptitude. He was invited by his elder brother to join the sect a few years ago.

For no other reason than that Chiyan Peak needs a steward who can provide long-term service.

After a long roar, Ji An suppressed his excitement and pumped his fist vigorously.

"Ninth level of foundation building, only two steps left to break through to Chaoyuan stage!"

After all, he was a cultivator who had practiced physical training, and a slight sound came from his fists.

With an ample supply of medicinal pills and a deep understanding of the divine will of the technique, coupled with the continued growth of his life light, which further improved his efficiency in refining spiritual energy, it was natural for him to break through the ninth level of foundation building.

After the breakthrough, the immortal vein was further strengthened and the qualifications were improved again.

It won’t take too long to raise your magic power to the perfect level of foundation building.
