Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 311 Requesting for Spiritual Peach Root

Mao hour the next day.

Ji An walked out of the cave and flew over the Feiye Mulberry Field on a cloud, looking for an area where he could eat air.

After the wood energy in the spiritual field was devoured by him, it would take some time for it to recover.

He divided this spiritual field into ten equal parts, and the location of the ingestion of energy was different each time.

After a round of eating air, new wood energy has been produced in the place where the first eating air was done, without delaying the practice at all.

Ji An faced east and assumed the breath-eating posture.

Exhale and inhale, cycle four times and eat four strands of air.

He pinched his fingers and rose up on the cloud again, flew to the foot of the mountain, opened the magic ban and walked into the stone house.

Fill the teleportation array with spirit stones and then activate the magic array.

The light distorted and changed, as if entering a gray tunnel, and the body had a slight sense of weightlessness.

This feeling only lasted for a moment, and Ji An was already standing on the teleportation array of Ningcui Cliff, and the maid who had accompanied his master in class was right in front of him.

The maid bent her knees slightly and said sweetly:

"Master, Uncle Ge asks you to enter the cave directly."

She had been waiting here before the hour of Mao, and there was no impatience in her expression, but rather a sense of joy.

As a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage, how could I have the opportunity to get close to a master-level cultivator in the Chaoyuan Stage?

"Ok."

Ji An nodded slightly, responded with a kind smile, and then walked out of the cave.

The cave is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

He could sense the clouds moving at an extremely slow speed, like a veil caressing his face.

When I arrived at the cave next door, I saw Master drinking tea with a plate of cakes next to him, which gave off a faint sweet scent of osmanthus.

Ge Ying smiled and extended her hand, saying:

"Hurry up and sit down. Have you had breakfast?

Let's have some honey osmanthus cake together. The honey used is the second-grade medium-grade white jade bee honey you sent me. It has a rich wood element spiritual energy."

She had never been so extravagant before, using second-grade medium-quality honey to make pastries. I'm afraid most of the Chaoyuan-stage cultivators in the sect would not be willing to do so.

If it were in the past, she would definitely be reluctant to do so.

It’s just that now his cultivation cannot go any further, his life is nearing its end, and instead he has a stronger desire for food.

"Thank you, Master."

Ji An sat down, used his object control technique to pick up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.

The sweetness of honey, osmanthus and rice blend together, leaving a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.

"Why did you only eat one piece? Eat more, there are more in the steamer in the kitchen."

Ge Ying knew that this disciple seldom took the fasting pills, so she asked the maid to make more in the morning.

Ji An waved his hand and said with a smile:
“Master, no need, I really can’t eat any more.

Before I came here just now, I had already consumed a few strands of Qinghua Qi."

Ge Ying was stunned for a moment, and her eyes flashed with bright colors.

"You are a cultivator in the Chaoyuan stage. You can eat Qi instead of spiritual food and Qigong pills. I subconsciously overlooked it."

Her words were filled with sighs, relief, pride, and a hint of sadness.

"I am lucky to be able to worship under Ningcui Cliff. When I was still weak, I received a lot of support from my master. Ji An will always remember it."

Ji An said gently, memories flashing through his mind.

His master once lent him several thousand spirit stones when he was still a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage.

He had received a high-quality foundation-building pill from his master, which was a great help to a cultivator with only mid-level qualifications.

One thing after another emerged and flashed by, as if it were just yesterday.

When I looked back, Master’s hair had turned as white as snow, and his cheeks were covered with the marks of time.

Thinking of this, he felt very sad.

"Isn't it a blessing for me to be able to accept you as my disciple?"

Ge Ying's tone became more and more gentle. She picked up the osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth, and she found that it tasted even sweeter.

"By the way, tell me how a Chaoyuan-stage cultivator practices on a daily basis?"

A few days ago, she broke through the Chaoyuan stage in her dream, but because she didn't know how to practice, she woke up in anxiety, and the beautiful dream seemed imperfect.

"I think the biggest difference between Chaoyuan stage cultivators and foundation building stage cultivators lies in the practice of opening up the mansion, ingesting Qi, and cultivating the Yuanming Fire. This is specifically manifested in..."

Ji An recounted his insights from the past year in detail and answered Master's questions from time to time.

It seemed as if the roles of the two people were swapped, and the other party looked like a disciple.

Unconsciously, the morning hour had arrived. The maid walked quickly into the cave and said with a bow:

"Uncle Master, Master, I see several monks coming on clouds."

Ge Ying immediately stood up and said:

"It must be the ancestor who has arrived. Let's go out and greet him together."

"Master, please," Ji An stood up and lagged behind the other person by half a body length.

The two of them walked out of the cave quickly, only to see yellow auspicious clouds and fiery red auspicious clouds floating down to the ground.

The auspicious clouds dissipated, and Zhenren Zhengyang and Zhenren Yuxiao both landed on the ground.

"Disciple Ge Ying, I pay my respects to the ancestor."

"Disciple Ji An, I pay my respects to the ancestor."

Yu Xiao Zhenren looked at the two of them for a few seconds and said with a smile:

“No need to be polite, this is my first time meeting Ji An, and he’s in good spirits, not bad.

What kind of wood energy are you consuming now? How many strands do you consume daily?

By the number of times a disciple inhales air, one can roughly judge his progress in cultivation.

"In reply to the ancestor, what this disciple consumes is Qinghua Qi. I can consume eight strands of Qi every day."

The smile on Master Yuxiao's face became even gentler. The progress was quite fast.

It takes an ordinary disciple one year to break through the Chaoyuan stage and consume only four or five strands of qi every day.

The other party consumes eight strands of Qi, so it can be inferred that his soul is more powerful than that of the cultivators of the same level. At the same time, the growth rate of the core of his soul is also faster than that of most Chaoyuan period disciples.

"I heard that Scarlet Flame Peak is your dojo. Can the Wood Element Qi there meet your needs?"

The gestation of many kinds of the Five Elements requires time, and this is especially true for the Wood Elements.

If the absorption rate exceeds the gestation rate, you will have to find additional ways to maintain the efficiency of breathing.

The main purpose for many Chaoyuan-stage disciples in the sect to go out is to find a better place to eat Qi.

"It's enough, the disciple has done the test.

Even if I can consume ten strands of Qi every day, it will be enough to meet my needs."

In the wood-element spiritual plant area of ​​the Red Flame Peak, the area of ​​the second-level medium-grade spiritual field can produce a wisp of wood-element qi every day.

In other areas, one ray can be born every two days.

Some wood energy has been accumulated in the past few years, and Ji An estimates that he will not have to worry about insufficient Qinghua energy in the next ten to eight years.

What's more, with the increasing number of second-level spiritual plants, the speed of nurturing wood energy in the spiritual plant garden will further increase.

Zhenren Zhengyang smiled broadly and said:

"After other disciples break through the Chaoyuan period, they still need the sect to find a better place for them to eat air. Your Taoist temple can meet their needs, which is very good!" Master Yuxiao nodded. Disciples who are easy to take care of are always liked by people.

He coughed lightly and said:
"Let's go to the orchard. The death of the top-grade peach tree is a huge loss to the sect.

I was able to break through to the Golden Core stage back then, and I benefited a lot from this spiritual tree."

Ge Ying finally had the chance to speak. She bowed slightly:
"Two ancestors, please follow me."

The four of them entered the cave, passed through the medicine garden, and came to the platform.

A magical peach tree is lush and leafy, each leaf sparkling like emerald jade, with veins like fire.

Amethyst bees buzzed around the sacred tree, occasionally landing on leaves.

The other spiritual tree had no leaves at all, just like an ordinary peach tree in late autumn on earth.

The strong contrast makes people feel lonely.

Zhenren Zhengyang placed his hand on the tree trunk, probed his spiritual sense to feel it carefully, and sighed:

"I can no longer sense any life within it. It must have used up all its potential when nurturing the spiritual peach."

It took more than one thousand and one hundred years to cultivate this spiritual peach to the second-grade top grade and become the foundation of the sect.

I have witnessed the sect's main spiritual vein being cultivated from the second-grade upper grade to the second-grade top grade, and now to the third-grade lower grade.

He and True Man Yuxiao broke through to the Golden Core Stage and both benefited from this spiritual fruit tree.

True Man Yuxiao also placed his palm on the tree trunk and shook his head after a moment.

"The spiritual tree has dried up, its vitality completely cut off. Perhaps the thunder from the sky can induce a second spring."

Zhenren Zhengyang smiled bitterly, "The chances of that happening are too small. The sect has tried this method before.

According to records, there are more than one hundred spiritual trees of the second-grade medium quality or above. After their vitality was cut off, they were struck by thunder and turned into charred wood, losing all their value.

Since then, the sect has not made any such attempts."

There is a saying in the mortal world that trees can regain their vitality after being struck by lightning, and immortal cultivators will inevitably make similar attempts.

Things like this can only be encountered by chance.

Yu Xiao Zhenren scratched his head and said with a smile:
"I haven't noticed any similar records. Where did you see it, brother?"

Zhenren Zhengyang shook his head slightly and said:

"The sect's inheritance jade slips contain records of spiritual plant cultivation. I'm afraid Junior Brother has never looked through them."

He then transmitted the message:
"My life span is short, so the position of the head of the sect will be passed down to you by my junior brother. I need to carefully check out some of the inheritance records.

From now on, I will give up cultivation and do as much as possible for the sect, hoping to reduce the burden you will face in the future."

Zhenren Zhengyang recalled the high spirits he felt when he broke through the Golden Elixir stage. Now, seeing the spiritual peach tree that had survived for thousands of years was dead, he felt desolate and sad.

True Man Yuxiao nodded slightly and sighed imperceptibly.

If his senior brother passed away, the pressure he faced would inevitably increase significantly.

The only consolation is that the two guardian beasts of the sect have a long lifespan. The Earth Dragon Beast still has seven or eight hundred years left, and the Fire Turtle is estimated to have thirteen or fourteen hundred years left.

He turned around and asked:
"Ji An, you will take over Ning Cui Cliff in the future. Do you have the confidence to cultivate a second-grade, top-grade spiritual peach tree for the sect again?"

Ji An's eyes were calm, his voice confident and calm:
"Absolutely no problem. I even want to try cultivating a third-level spiritual plant."

This platform and the medicine garden below are both built on a second-level top-grade spiritual vein node, and the hardware conditions are sufficient.

He has now broken through the Chaoyuan period and has mastered the new magic of the perfect level. Once his magic is improved to the great perfection level, it will not be an empty talk for him to cultivate the third-order low-grade spiritual plants.

The two immortals smiled at each other, and Yuxiao Immortal said:

"Well, you remind me of my heroic spirit when I broke through the Golden Core Stage."

If a third-level spiritual plant is cultivated, the sect's golden elixir inheritance will become extremely stable.

I'm afraid that even Luofeng Valley cannot obtain third-level resources stably.

A kind look flashed in Master Zhengyang's eyes, as if he was looking at a promising junior:
“This year, the sect harvested eight top-grade spiritual peaches. I have already instructed that all the seeds be handed over to you.

You are the only Chaoyuan-level spiritual farmer in Xizhou. I hope you can bring greater impact to the sect."

Ji An bowed:

"Thank you for your help, Old Ancestor. Time will prove that what I said just now was not just empty talk."

“Well, let’s wait and see.

If you cultivate the best spiritual peach, in addition to receiving great rewards, the sect will also provide you with more elixirs, soul-nourishing wooden instruments, and soul incense to strengthen the core of the divine palace.

In addition, the sect will do everything possible to help you collect more spirit seeds."

Zhenren Zhengyang paused and asked again:
"Do you have any other requests?"

Ji An thought for a moment, then pointed at the dead peach tree and asked:

"May I ask how the ancestors should deal with this spiritual tree?"

“After felling, the spiritual materials will be sold to the cultivators in Central Continent. Three thousand years old, second-grade, top-grade spiritual vein wood can be made into very good, top-grade spiritual weapons.

It is very popular among the monks in Nanzhou."

The spiritual peach is very thick and can be used to make several top-grade spiritual weapon blanks.

The tree branches can also be made into small magical tools to exorcise ghosts and calm souls, and the roots can be used as auxiliary materials for refining elixirs.

"Disciple, I'd like to ask if I can get a thicker tree root.

After hearing what Patriarch Yuxiao said, I think I can keep a piece of the tree root as a memory."

After Ji An finished speaking, he stood with his head down.

Frankly speaking, his request was a bit excessive, after all, it involved second-grade top-grade spiritual materials.

He hummed, and added:
"Disciple is willing to exchange a small amount of merit for it."

Master Zhengyang's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice:

"How many spiritual peach trees are planted in your dojo, and what grade are they now?"

The disciple’s request is not unacceptable, but he needs to evaluate it before making a decision.

"Reporting to the ancestor, there are a total of thirty spiritual peaches in my Taoist temple, ten of which are second-grade mid-grade, and twenty are low-grade."

Zheng Yang Zhenren's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately asked:
"How many years have you been growing peach trees?"

Yu Xiao Zhenren next to him opened his mouth halfway, feeling surprised.

Ten second-grade medium-quality spiritual plants, this is not a small number.

This greatly increases the sect's Chaoyuan-level foundation, and can be refined into elixirs to speed up the disciples' opening up of the Fire Palace and improve their cultivation.

Ji An replied with some pride:
"About forty years, but more than thirty of them were only planted for thirteen or fourteen years."

He felt that this achievement was impressive even among the Nascent Soul Sects in Central China.

"Great! With this ability, there's no need to worry about the sect's future prosperity!"

Zhenren Zhengyang clapped his hands and laughed. He didn't feel anything strange about his disciple's words just now, so the other party should not be lying.

He had never heard of anyone being able to cultivate a second-grade, mid-quality spiritual peach in just over ten years.

The sect’s third-level spiritual vein node also has several second-level top-grade spiritual trees.

As long as his disciple could cultivate a second-grade top-grade spiritual peach, he decided to let this disciple take care of it in the future.

"You wanted a piece of Lingtao tree root, and I agreed.

You don’t need to pay for the small merit, I will do it for you.”

Ji An's heart suddenly became happy, and he bowed and said:
"I cannot refuse a gift from an elder. Thank you very much, ancestor!"

"If you can cultivate a second-grade, top-grade spiritual peach as soon as possible, it will be the greatest gratitude to me."
