Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 290 The Changes of the Stone Turtle

Yue Yunlong stretched out his hands and saw that his originally skinny arms became fuller again, strands of black hair fell by his ears, and his physical condition returned to his prime.

"Haha," his laughter was filled with the joy of surviving a disaster, and tears were streaming down his face.

The breakthrough process was not smooth. By the time I reached the last step, I was no longer able to continue. I only relied on the obsession in my heart to force myself to move forward.

His consciousness was already hazy at that time, and he felt that he found the fire just when he was about to faint, thus igniting the fire of his life.

Yue Yunlong was very glad that he persevered. He knew that if he had fainted at that time, everything would be over.

After crying happily for a while, he walked out of the cave with a ruthless pace, full of high spirits.

He broke through the Chaoyuan stage at an old age and his life was extended for another three hundred years. What else could he not be satisfied with!

The breeze is gentle and the sun is shining on my face, making me feel wrapped in warmth.

Inadvertently, Yue Yunlong saw a vortex of spiritual energy spinning rapidly above a cave in the distance, and was suddenly shocked.

"With such a soaring aura, could it be that there is a hidden cultivator of heavenly caliber in the sect?!"

His mind raced, wondering who was making the breakthrough.

He couldn't say that he was familiar with the sect's veteran foundation-building cultivators, but he had an impression of them. Those who were able to reach the Chaoyuan stage had all achieved a breakthrough before him.

Just as he was thinking, the spiritual energy vortex in the distance changed again and was swallowed into the cave in an instant.

Yue Yunlong raised his eyebrows suddenly. Is it so fierce?
The spiritual energy is absorbed and exhaled like a whale sucking water. It must be a successful breakthrough, but the speed is too fast. How much accumulation must be required to achieve this?
Besides Li Haoran's sect, there's another powerful person like him. Who is he? Go find out!

Yue Yunlong gathered his magic power and flew quickly towards the treasure pavilion.

"Uncle Jia!"

Seeing the monk coming in, Jia Yu took another sip of wine, bowed and said with a smile:

"Junior Brother Yue, congratulations on starting your journey to immortality again! We can just call each other equals."

"Haha," Yue Yunlong scratched his head. He had been calling him 'master uncle' for decades, and it really came so naturally to him.

"Brother, I saw a cultivator in another cave who successfully broke through. He was so imposing. I wonder which brother he was?"

Jia Yu hummed in confusion and asked:

"Has the breakthrough been successful?"

As he spoke, he leaped out of the hall like a fat but nimble bird.

When I looked out at the open space outside the temple, I found that the vortex of spiritual energy had disappeared.

He turned his head and asked:
"Did you witness the breakthrough with your own eyes? When did it happen?"

Jia Yu muttered in his heart, when others successfully broke through, they would "howl" to make an announcement, and Li Haoran was no exception, so why was there no movement from Ji boy?
He felt uneasy without asking this question.

Yue Yunlong walked out of the hall and said with a smile:

"Of course, how could I say such a thing casually?
About half a quarter of an hour ago, when I walked out of the cave, I saw with my own eyes the grand vortex of spiritual energy being swallowed up.

Senior Brother hasn't told me yet who is breaking through in the cave."

"That's Ji An from Scarlet Flame Peak. Have you heard of him?"

Yue Yunlong nodded slightly and frowned:
“I’ve heard of him, but never dealt with him.

My Senior Sister Li Minghui mentioned him a few years ago. At that time, he had just broken through to the late stage of foundation building!"

He quickly recalled the time when he spoke, and his heart skipped a beat.

"I can only say that your news is behind schedule."

Jia Yu laughed. He also felt that Ji An's speed of breaking through the realm was incredibly fast. He didn't look like a disciple with only middle-grade initial qualifications at all.

"It took him only five or six hours longer to break through than Li Haoran, and he's under seventy years old. He can be considered a Golden Core Seed! I'll report this to the ancestor later."

He felt very relieved, as the two ancestors had broken through to the Chao Yuan period at about the same age as Ji An.

Ji An felt a faint joy in his heart. Years of accumulation and hard work culminated in today, and he took another solid step on the road to immortality.

He looked inside his body and saw that the magic power that was as liquid as clear water had now been compressed into a viscous semi-fluid.

Only a shallow layer of magic power remained in the sea, and the dantian seemed empty.

The green life-giving fire is only as big as a bean sprout, but the flame is bright and takes root in the sea of ​​magic power.

It looks like a flame, but in fact it is not burning any substance. It is the manifestation of his own essence.

The Yuanming Fire itself has no temperature, but it radiates warmth, and the Dantian is filled with warmth.

At the same time, it also exudes a vigorous breath of life, nourishing the body from the inside out, and wisps of qi rise up, watering the immortal veins.

Perhaps because it was new, the flame was unstable, like a candle flame occasionally blown by the breeze.

Flame is the embodiment of life and is inseparable from oneself. Ji An has a special intimacy with it, as if it is an extension of his own life.

The stone turtle's eyes seemed to brighten a little, and it swam happily to the side of the flame.

After a moment, Ji An saw the stone turtle's head sway slightly.

The turtle's mouth opened slightly, and a breath of clear and spiritual air gushed out. The fire of its life suddenly jumped, and after the light and shadow swayed, the whole thing became "fatter".

Ji An felt new energy injected into his body, his mind suddenly felt refreshed, and the flame of his life fire became much more stable.

"Fuck, there's this kind of benefit?"

The stone turtle had already helped him a lot, but he didn't expect it could bring him an even bigger surprise.

If you count carefully, this should be the second time that the stone turtle has done such a thing.

The first abnormality occurred not long after he joined the sect. At that time, in order to borrow some start-up capital from Lao Huang, he used all his strength to perform the small cloud and rain technique at a small level.

However, his realm was too low at that time, and even though he tried his best to cast the spell, the gap in his magic power was so big that he almost drained himself.

Fortunately, the stone turtle helped and avoided an accident.

However, since that time, Ji An never let himself fall into the situation of being exhausted again.

If the last time was a timely help, today was the icing on the cake, but he liked it both ways.

The stone turtle began to swim again. Its limbs, tail, neck and head could now move slightly, making it look more and more like a living creature.

"Could this thing be using my body as a cauldron, and eventually giving birth to a stone monster?"

Ji An bared his teeth and shook his head suddenly.

The stone turtle is extremely mysterious. If it is really a trap, wouldn’t it be better to choose those Jindan Zhenren? At worst, you can choose Chaoyuan period cultivators.

There was no need to start a business with such a young monk and then swallow him up in one gulp.

For a big boss who can take him across the world, it shouldn't be easy to accumulate original capital.

Even if there is such a hidden danger, he has no way to deal with it now.

Apart from using his spiritual power to improve his own magic level, he could not interfere with any of the stone turtle's actions.

Ji An immediately adjusted his mindset. Even though he was a fish and Shi Gui was a fisherman, there was only one way for him to go.

It swallows the bait, grows fat and strong, and finally pulls the fisherman into the water and swallows him.

He gathered his scattered thoughts and continued to focus on observing his body from within.

The immortal veins flickered with imperceptible light, like tunnels of light, crisscrossing and densely covering the entire body.

Compared to before the breakthrough, the immortal veins had truly formed a network connecting about 60% of the body's acupoints. The most important storage place for a cultivator's mana was the dantian, but a small amount would also be retained in the immortal veins and various acupoints.

These acupoints are equivalent to mana nodes, and the mana retained in them accounts for about one-tenth of the total amount in the dantian.

If the immortal veins can connect to more acupoints, the body can accommodate more magic power.

Ji An secretly guessed that the main framework of his immortal vein should be able to meet the standards of earth-grade qualifications.

The more mana nodes a cultivator has in his body, the faster he will be at refining spiritual energy and absorbing spiritual inspiration.

When all the acupoints in the body can be connected together, the task is complete. Of course, many cultivators cannot achieve this even if they break through to the Golden Core Realm.

This is also the preciousness of heavenly talent. When such a cultivator is born, his immortal veins can connect to 90% of the acupoints.

Once they break through the Golden Elixir stage, the immortal veins in their bodies can generally open up all the acupoints.

What Ji An needs to do next is to use his magic power to nourish the immortal veins, making them more flexible, while opening up more branches and connecting more acupoints.

He concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, and started practicing Qingmu Changchun Gong again.

This technique can no longer meet his needs for absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, but it can still be used to stabilize his realm.

Green, light black, orange, light gold, yellow, all kinds of spiritual light danced around him, and the number of them that appeared was more than half more than when he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The five elements of inspiration were absorbed into his stomach along with the spiritual energy, and the ten Tao seeds flashed one after another.

The brilliance on the surfaces of the five internal organs, including the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, increases and decreases, and the power of the five elements is endless.

The spiritual energy was refined into emerald green magic power, like viscous magma, and finally flowed into the dantian.

About 10% of the magic power was automatically invested in the Yuanming Fire, and Ji An could feel the cheerful emotion coming from it.

The stone turtle also joined this group, happily devouring the magic power that fell from the sky. Its carapace was warm and shiny, and the Bagua pattern became deeper and darker like the abyss.

Ji An carefully felt the proportion of magic power swallowed by the stone turtle, and felt happy.

During the Qi Refining Stage, the Stone Turtle would devour 50% of the magic power he refined.

He bought a large number of elixirs, but the speed of his cultivation improvement was mediocre, which overwhelmed him at the time.

After building the foundation, the proportion of mana absorbed by the stone turtle became 30%, and he felt much more relaxed. However, he also relied on his understanding of the exercises and an adequate supply of elixirs to maintain his rapid progress.

Now that he has broken through to the Chaoyuan stage, the amount of magic power swallowed by the stone turtle has been reduced to 10%.

He had this idea before, and now his dream has come true.

Compared with other Chaoyuan-stage cultivators, his sense of happiness is much higher, which is equivalent to no extra consumption of Yuanming Fire, and the mana refined is 10% more "out of thin air".

In the evening of the next day, Ji An felt that his realm had stabilized and the Yuanming Fire had also completely stabilized.

The green color is bright and full of vitality.

He slowly finished his training and opened his eyes. There was a flicker of green light in his pupils, as if reflecting a forest.

Ji An opened the magic ban and strode out of the cave like the wind.

The sunset is gorgeous, the sunset glow is like fire, burning out red gold, furnace red, blue and purple, lighting up the eyes.
Above the earth, the mountains are like golden Buddha statues, solemn and majestic.

He suddenly felt that the sky was high and the earth was vast, and he couldn't help but let out a long roar towards the sky, with a strong and passionate heart.

The roar that pierced the clouds and split the rocks reverberated in Chaoyang Peak like thunder, causing waves of echoes.

Ji An flew down, stepped into the hall, bowed and said with a smile:

"Brother Jia, thank you for waiting for so long."

He felt a little proud in his heart. He had said that he would call the other party "Uncle Master" one last time, and he kept his word.

Jia Yu swallowed the wine with satisfaction, put down the gourd and said:

"When you heard the ghostly howling just now, I knew it was you!"

In the past few years, he distributed seven Peiyuan Pills, and four disciples successfully broke through the Chaoyuan period. This ratio is much higher than the previous average ratio, which is a sign of the prosperity of the sect.

After saying this, he stood up, bowed solemnly, and continued:

"Junior Brother Ji, congratulations!
Today I have entered the Chaoyuan period, and there is hope for the golden elixir in the future.

Perhaps hundreds of years later, your disciples will call you Ancestor Ji!"

If the opponent can maintain his courage and diligence in the Chaoyuan period, the probability of breaking through to the Jindan stage is still very high.

The sect’s ancestor Zhengyang is over 800 years old, and has been in charge of the sect for less than 200 years.

Among the existing Chaoyuan-stage cultivators, only Erlin, Lin Qiubai and Lin Jiuxiao have the hope of achieving the Golden Elixir.

In two hundred years, it would not be a problem for Li Haoran to break through to the Golden Core stage.

If Junior Brother Ji works hard, maybe in the future there will be a grand occasion where four or five Jindan masters will be in charge of the sect.

Ji An nodded vigorously and said in a joking tone:

"I will try to get my senior brother to call me that."

Although his tone of voice was frivolous, he was very serious inside.

The hacker is online, I will go to exchange for skills and spells to upgrade them later.

Shigui has accumulated inspiration for nearly ten years, and he has a strong desire to "consume" it.

With the improvement of his magic level, Chiyan Peak will be able to grow more high-level spiritual plants. He will have no shortage of resources, so his cultivation level will improve quickly.

Hearing this, Jia Yu was stunned. He raised his eyebrows and laughed:

"Haha, I'm waiting for this day to come soon, please don't make me wait anxiously."

He sighed inwardly, thinking that his life span was only about 140 years, and he might not be able to see it.

Besides, breaking through the Golden Core stage is not an easy task. After thousands of years of accumulation in the sect, only two Golden Core ancestors have appeared.

Even in the Yuanying sects in Zhongzhou, Jindan stage cultivators are the absolute backbone of the force.

As the sun set outside the palace, Jia Yu raised his wine gourd and said:
"It's getting late today. Why don't you and I, brothers, drink and sing songs, and talk by candlelight?"

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

After moving out the tables and chairs, Ji An took out the spirit wine, pine nuts, dried meat and preserved fruits from his storage bag and placed a dazzling array of items on the table.

The moon was bright in the sky, and the two talked all night long, and before they knew it, a night had passed.

When the sky brightened, Jia Yu smiled and said:
"Junior brother, normally, one month after a disciple breaks through the Chao Yuan stage, the ancestor will summon him and explain the cultivation of the Chao Yuan stage. At that time, the ancestor will personally replace your identity jade token.

I will inform you of the specific time of the meeting later."

Ji An nodded slightly and said:

"I understand. Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother.

Goodbye, I'm going to the Transmission Hall to exchange skills and spells."

If the other party had not invited him, he would have wanted to go to Lingxiao Mountain last night to learn how to practice magic.

It takes a long time to comprehend and understand the skills, but it doesn’t take long to learn magic.

"Go ahead. I look forward to seeing the Blue Dragon Awakening Technique shine in your hands!"
