Chapter 307 Soul Nourishing Pendant

"I have been following the sect's preparations for the Sinong Hall.

I heard from Uncle Zhang from the Qinong Hall that the sect has already made some preliminary plans and is formulating detailed rules and regulations for the Sinong Hall.

Once the rules are established, it will become an independent temple."

Ge Ying was all smiles. The establishment of the Sinong Hall indicated that the sect wanted to vigorously cultivate spiritual farmers.

After a few years, the sect's alchemists will have more sufficient resources for spiritual medicines, and the status of the Danding Academy will also rise.

Most of the cultivators from the Ningcui Cliff lineage are alchemists, so this is very good news.

She paused and continued:
"After the Sinong Palace is established, there is a very high possibility that you will become the Palace Master, because only with you in charge can you gain the admiration of all the spiritual farmers and attract the attention of other palaces."

The Ningcuiya lineage is finally going to produce a core-level cultivator of the sect, and she would wake up laughing in her dreams.

Ji An gave a polite smile, "I just hope my practice won't be disturbed too much."

It wouldn't take much time to take over Ningcui Cliff, but being in charge of Sinong Palace would definitely be very busy in the early stages, which was not what he wanted to see.

"Of course the sect will consider this. I expect you are just a figurehead, and there won't be many opportunities for you to show up."

Ge Ying expressed his guess that this disciple was a cultivator who had the potential to achieve the Golden Elixir, and the sect's ancestor would not waste his time on trivial matters.

"That would be best."

Ji An hates trouble. He feels that there is not enough time to practice and open up the divine palace in a day.

He changed the subject and asked:
"Senior Sister Ge, how often does she return to the sect now?"

Ge Luoying and Liu Yu both work in the Law Enforcement Hall and often carry out external missions.

"The time is uncertain. If everything goes well, it will take five days. If not, it's hard to say.

Ge Ying heard from her niece's great-granddaughter that the devilish cultivation techniques are now rampant among the independent cultivators, and it is obvious that there is a mastermind behind the scenes fanning the flames.

There are enemies who don't want Xizhou to settle down. I don't know if it's the work of monsters or some other force."

Ge Ying's words revealed worry. The situation outside the sect was not peaceful. After the demon disaster and the rampage of evil cultivators, the original order of Xizhou had collapsed.

The control of each sect over the surrounding areas has been reduced to varying degrees, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

In the Mingfeng Mountain and Canglan Secret Realm incidents, each sect suffered a large number of casualties among their core disciples.

It will take at least 10 to 20 years to recover.

Ji An heard the Master's worry and said comfortingly:

"The sect must attach great importance to the safety of disciples who go out on missions. Master, you can rest assured."

The two chatted for a while, and Ji An stood up and said:
"Master, I still have to go to the Treasure Pavilion, so I'll take my leave first.

If Master feels bored staying at Ningcui Cliff, he can go to Chiyan Peak.

Over the past six months, the number of second-level spiritual plants there has increased significantly."

Ge Ying smiled and said:

"I'm guarding the teleportation array. Anyone who wants to go can just walk there."

The two walked out of the cave, and Ji An took out the Flame Flag and input magic power.

Bright yellow flames soared, and he controlled the magic weapon to leave Ningcui Cliff.

Ji An put away the flaming flag and stepped into the treasure house.

He took out a jar of second-grade medium-quality pine wine and said with a smile:
"Brother Jia, how are you?"

"I'm feeling ill! I haven't had a good drink in a while, and I can't help but shiver all the time!"

Jia Yu took the jar of wine, opened the seal and smelled the aroma, nodded with satisfaction, and skillfully poured the wine into the gourd.

He couldn't help shaking. Was it because he was addicted to alcohol? Ji An had a puzzled look on his face and asked:

"Brother, aren't you worried about the different grades of wine mixing with each other? Or is there something else going on?"

A jar of wine only weighed five pounds. Jia Yu used the water control technique and poured all the wine into the gourd in just two breaths.

He brought the gourd to his ear, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile:

"How could the taste be mixed? What you said is disrespectful to my attitude towards drinking!"

How could a seasoned alcoholic make such a low-level mistake?

Ji An immediately understood that there must be another mechanism in the gourd.

He used his object control technique to grab a chair and handed over his jade token:
"Brother, collect the Chao Yuan period resources."

Jia Yu put away the wine gourd, stood up and said:
"Junior brother, wait a moment."

He entered the secret vault, took out a storage bag, and said:

"Inside there is a second-order low-grade Taoist robe, three high-grade spirit stones, two Bihua Pills, a second-order low-grade magical soul-nourishing pendant, and ten plates of soul incense.

When you collect resources again three years later, everything except the Taoist robe and pendant will remain the same.

Junior Brother, please check and verify everything. I will then process the formalities for you."

Ji An took the things out of the storage bag. The ochre Taoist robe can always clean the body and avoid dirt. It also has certain defensive functions. Don’t underestimate it as just a Taoist robe. It is comparable to the perfect level of golden armor.

There is no need to explain much about the function of top-grade spirit stones, which can be regarded as common spirit stones for Chaoyuan-stage cultivators.

The Bihua Pill can nourish the Wood Element Divine Palace and strengthen its core, which is just in time for him.

But only two in three years is a bit too shabby. The soul incense is dark purple and has no smell at all.

The soul-nourishing pendant is a deep black, as if it can even attract light, and is made of soul-nourishing wood.

It is a rectangular sign tied with red silk thread.

It is four fingers long, two fingers wide, and half a finger thick, with a shallow relief of floral patterns and the word "Jin Ling".

These patterns are actually the magical restrictions that the weapon refiner has put in.

Ji An probed his spiritual sense into it and immediately felt enveloped by a coolness, which was like the refreshing feeling of inhaling after eating a mint candy.

He solemnly hung the soul-nourishing pendant around his neck, placed it next to the rare object, placed it close to his body, and then patted it gently.

Jia Yu laughed and said:
"This pendant is a good thing. Weapon refiners use magic to lock the energy of the soul-nourishing wood, allowing it to be slowly released to nourish the soul and make it grow stronger.

The energy in the magical instrument can be released for about five years. In the entire Western Continent, only we and Luofeng Valley each have a soul-nourishing tree."

The soul-nourishing pendant is made of second-grade low-grade spiritual wood. The reason why it is a magic weapon rather than a spiritual weapon is because it is disposable.

When the spiritual substances in the soul-nourishing wood completely evaporate, it becomes an ordinary magic weapon that can slowly restore the consumption of spiritual consciousness.

Ji An raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"So, if I want to receive the soul-nourishing magic weapon, it will be five years later?"

It can nourish the soul for five years, and the next payment will be after five years, which is very reasonable.

"You're overthinking it. The Soul-Nourishing Tree grows extremely slowly and cannot be cultivated artificially. The sect's thirty-plus Chao Yuan-stage cultivators are counting on it.

I will let you know when I can collect it next time.

Soul Incense is made from the leaves of the Soul-Nourishing Tree and other spiritual medicines to soothe the mind. Although it does not strengthen the soul, it can quickly restore spiritual consciousness. It can be obtained once every three years.

Jia Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly. A strong soul is very beneficial to all aspects of cultivation. The soul-nourishing wooden magic tool is the most popular item, no doubt about it.

If the Soul-Nourishing Wood is of a high enough grade, it will probably become the exclusive property of the ancestors.

Ji An grinned, "There will never be enough resources to go around."

"That's right, not only us, but also the Nascent Soul sects in Zhongzhou are the same.

It’s just that they have many small clans that depend on them, and they receive a lot of tribute every few years.

Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't be able to provide so many Jindan cultivators."

Jia Yu raised his head and took a sip of wine, snorted with satisfaction, and said:
"Junior brother, your situation is much better than most cultivators of the same level. In Scarlet Flame Peak, there are second-level mid-grade Cloudtop Silver Hair and second-level low-grade Jade Dew Golden Bud. The nourishment of the soul is beyond the reach of most cultivators.

If only you had been born three hundred years earlier, I might have been able to cultivate all the wonderful things you have.”

If the other party was born three hundred years earlier and joined the sect, the number of high-level spiritual plants in the sect would probably be the best in Western Continent.

Currently, Xizhou is the only spiritual farmer monk in the Chaoyuan period. He doesn't know how much shock he can bring to the sect. He is waiting to see.

Ji An laughed and didn't respond.

Even if he was born a hundred years earlier, there would still not be enough resources.

The abundance of these high-level resources is relative and it is impossible to achieve absolute surplus.

Take the elixirs needed by Chaoyuan-stage cultivators as an example. They often require a lifespan of seven or eight hundred years. But how many years do Chaoyuan-stage cultivators live? Only five or six hundred.

Time is the most difficult obstacle to overcome. Even if spells such as the Blue Dragon Awakening Technique have reached the level of great perfection, it still takes time to ripen the elixir.

The spell bonuses received by high-level spiritual medicines are much smaller than those received by low-level spiritual plants. Taking yellow rice and Tianyuan ginseng as examples, the foundation-building spells at the great perfection level can shorten the maturation time of spiritual rice from three months to seven or eight days, which only takes one-tenth of the normal maturation time.

But the same spell can only increase the age of Tianyuan ginseng by 100 years in more than 20 years, which requires one-fifth of the normal maturation time.

Jia Yu did not continue the topic and said:
"By the way, how many strands of Qi can you eat every day?"

The efficiency of eating air can be used to determine the strength of the core of the divine palace.

"Seven strands a day, four in the morning and three in the evening, how's that?"

Jia Yu stopped preparing to drink and squinted his eyes unconsciously.

After a moment's silence, he asked again:
"It's hard to tell. How long have you been developing the Divine Palace?"

Ji An took a breath as he recalled, "Four months exactly."

Jia Yu raised his head and took a sip of wine, but he felt that what he drank was not wine but vinegar, which made his teeth sour!

After he broke through the Chaoyuan period, it took him five months to open up the Fire Element Divine Palace, while the other party only took two months.

Half a year after he successfully opened up his mansion, he consumed four strands of qi every day, which was almost double the amount.

"Eating seven strands of Qi every day, this pace makes me want to beat someone up. Do you understand what I mean?!"

"Can I understand what my senior brother said as a compliment?"

Ji An showed pride on his face. After breaking through the Chaoyuan stage, he didn't communicate much with his peers.

Firstly, he didn't encounter any substantial difficulties, and secondly, he was busy opening up the Fire Palace of his Heart and didn't have much time.

Jia Yu gritted his teeth in hatred and said angrily:

"Enjoy your last vacation. When the three-year period is up, you will take over the Sinong Palace.

At the same time, the sect will select a group of qualified Qi Refining disciples for you, and you must accept at least two of them as your disciples."
