Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 317: Si Nong Palace

Although he had taken the teleportation array many times, Ji An always felt shocked.

He kept wondering what was outside the gray passage and how the monks were transported there.

The vision blurs for a moment and then gradually becomes clear. The feeling of traveling thousands of miles in an instant is so intoxicating.

There is a teleportation array in Zhongzhou that connects hundreds of thousands of miles. How vast this world is!

In Xizhou, as a Chaoyuan-stage cultivator, he is considered a high-level cultivator. But looking at the whole world, he is probably just a frog in a well.

Walking out of the cave, I saw monks riding various spiritual boats taking off and landing in the distance. That was where the Sinong Hall was located.

The Sinong Hall was completed half a year ago, and the handover with other halls has been completed, and it is just waiting for the official occupancy.

Ji An looked for a while, then turned and went to the next cave.

Ge Ying sat quietly in a chair, holding a cup of steaming fragrant tea in her hand.

The sunlight hit her body, outlining a figure of light and dark.

The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes began to increase again, and gray hair appeared among her black hair.

The vitality replenished by the longevity pill can no longer keep up with the loss caused by the decline of qi and blood.

When a cultivator's energy and blood begin to decline, it is like cracks starting to appear in a wooden barrel.

Sadly, this rift cannot be repaired.

Therefore, once a cultivator's qi and blood begin to decline, it means that his potential has been exhausted.

Ji An keenly sensed that a faint sense of decay was emanating from his master.

'If you can't live forever, you can't defeat the passage of time!'

He sighed in his heart, but the smile on his face was as warm as the sun:
"Greetings, Master. I brought you some white jade bee honey, as well as some dried mulberries and mulberry wine."

He took out a storage bag and placed it on the table next to the other person.

Ge Ying's eyes were filled with a happy smile, and she said kindly:
"Giving me so many good things is a bit of a waste. They should be given to those monks who need them more."

Disciples often brought her things, all of which were good second-level mid-grade items.

Sometimes she would think that if she could continue to obtain so many spiritual objects during the Foundation Establishment Stage, she would have a great chance of breaking through to the Chao Yuan Stage.

"Master, what are you talking about? This is a gift from your disciple to you. No one else has the right to do this."

Ge Ying laughed, and her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

The two chatted for a while, and Ji An bowed and said:

"Today, it has been exactly three years since I broke through the Chao Yuan Stage, and I must shoulder the responsibilities that come with it.

I plan to go to the Treasure Pavilion first, then go to the Work Hall to hand over Ning Cuiya, and finally officially take over the Sinong Hall."

"Time flies so fast. It feels like two years have already passed in the blink of an eye."

Ge Ying stood up and said, "Let's go. After you take over Ningcui Cliff, I can completely relax."

She is already in her twilight years, and the sect no longer assigns her any tasks.

The two men walked out of the cave, and green clouds emerged from under Ji An's feet, wrapping them up.

After the auspicious clouds took shape, they rose into the sky and flew away quickly.

Even with someone, his speed was 20% to 30% faster than when he first learned to fly the cloud.

In less than half an hour, auspicious green clouds landed on the hillside of Chaoyang Peak.

The two of them walked into the hall, and Jia Yu smiled and said:
"Junior Brother Ji has finally decided to leave Scarlet Flame Peak. It wasn't easy."

He was now very clear about the other party's activity patterns, and he left the dojo once a year.

Listening to the ancestor's teachings and exchanging spiritual objects at the treasure pavilion is a model of dedicated hard work.

Ji An took out several storage bags and said with a smile:

"I will be in charge of the Sinong Palace from now on. Brother, if you are free, you can come and have a drink with me.

Also, help me exchange these supplies for small merits so I can receive the benefits of a Chao Yuan period cultivator."

"I told you, Junior Brother wouldn't run away if there was nothing wrong."

Jia Yu skillfully took out the resources from the storage bag and began to weigh, count and record them.

"Thirty thousand pounds of second-grade low-grade pine nuts, three thousand small merits;

Two thousand kilograms of medium-quality pine nuts will earn you two thousand small merits."

“Three hundred kilograms of second-level low-grade sword bamboo gold leaves, and nine thousand minor merits;

Thirty kilograms of medium-grade sword bamboo gold leaves will earn you six thousand minor merits, for a total of sixty-six thousand minor merits."

He scratched his hair and said with a grin:

"If I had achieved such a result back then, I would have probably reached the Golden Core Stage!"

Jia Yu knew in his heart that this was part of the other party's gains after paying the sect's land rent.

At least he knew that the other party rarely handed in second-level mulberry wine and earth spirit fruit to exchange for small merits, and the copper-patterned mulberry and jade-leaf mulberry were directly connected to the Beast Taming Palace.

Roughly speaking, I can earn about 80,000 yuan a year.

With such a huge harvest, the alchemists and weapon refiners in the Chaoyuan period must have refining tasks every day.

What is even more amazing is that this is not the opponent's limit, and Chiyan Peak still has a lot of potential to be tapped.

With so many resources in hand, how many elixirs and spiritual objects that can be bought to speed up the soul! It can greatly accelerate the growth of the core of the divine palace and the improvement of cultivation.

Jia Yu picked up the storage bag and said, "I'll go put the supplies into the warehouse and then take out your benefits."

Ji An nodded slightly and said:

"Brother, I have so many small merits in my hands now, is there any place to spend them?"

"I knew you'd ask. This year, I specially requested three more Bihua Pills and ten more Soul Incense for you. How are you going to thank me?"

"Haha, here are two jars of high-quality pine wine!"

"Two jars? That's too little!"

Jia Yu shook his head like a rattle and slapped his hand, "That's the number!"

He knew the number and approximate output of the second-grade, medium-quality Red Cloud Pines in Red Flame Peak, and could estimate roughly how many pine nuts were brewed into spirit wine.

"make a deal!"

Ji An readily agreed and took out five jars of spirit wine from his storage bag.

The brewed second-grade medium-quality spiritual wines are actually low-end versions because there are no spiritual medicines of sufficient age available.

Except for the main ingredient, pine nuts, the other ingredients are the same as those of low-grade spirit wine. There is nothing that can be done about it.

Jia Yu stopped turning around, opened the seal, sniffed the aroma of the wine, and nodded with satisfaction.

He used the water control technique to pour the wine in the jar into the gourd without a drop left, then he broke the ban and entered the secret vault.

Ji An felt the fleeting fluctuation of magic power in the secret vault and realized that it was the breath of the Earth Dragon Beast.

Jia Yu placed the supplies on the table and said:
"Each Bihua Pill costs one thousand small gong, and each plate of Soul Incense costs one hundred small gong.

I will first give you 66,000 small merits, and then deduct 4,000 small merits. The procedure cannot be wrong."

Ji An handed over the jade token and put away the supplies after checking them.

Jia Yu placed the jade token on the spirit plate and operated, "You still have 120,000 small gong in your hand, and you need to deduct 5,000 small gong for exchanging for the skills."

"Brother, please repay all the 100,000 small gongs you used to exchange for the technique.

I have so many small gongs left in my hands, but I have no resources to exchange for them."

Ji An sighed in his heart. The sect was only a Jindan-level force, and the supplies of the Chaoyuan period were already beginning to be scarce.

"Okay," a hint of embarrassment flashed across Jia Yu's face.

In the past, cultivators who had accumulated too much small merit were all veteran Chaoyuan-stage cultivators. Who would have thought that a cultivator who had just broken through the realm three years ago would be so rich!

He returned the jade token and said:
"When the sect trades with Luofeng Valley, I will ask them to pay more Bihua Dan and Soul Incense. Junior brother, you have a lot of small merits, which can be exchanged for spiritual tools.

I remember that what you are using in your hand now is still a low-grade spiritual weapon, right?

You will soon be the master of a palace, so you need to change to a high-grade spiritual weapon to match your status!"

A high-grade spiritual weapon could easily cost tens of thousands of small gong points, which could severely consume the small gong points in the opponent's hand.

Ji An shook his head, "I'm just a spiritual farmer, there's no need for all that pomp and ceremony!"

He paused, bared his teeth and said:

"I plan to refine a top-grade spiritual weapon in one go, to use as the blank for my own magical treasure!"

The natal magic weapon can only be tempered by the top-grade spiritual tool to withstand the golden elixir thunder tribulation, while the top-grade spiritual tool can be stored in the dantian for nourishment.

Ge Ying remained silent. As she listened to the high spirits revealed in her disciple's words, the corners of her mouth kept curling up.

For some reason, she now trusted her disciple's words very much.

The Ningcui Ya lineage has never had a Jindan cultivator, so it is worth looking forward to.

Jia Yu was stunned for a moment and said:
"Okay, be ambitious."

He had thought so too back then, but unfortunately, he definitely didn't have enough time left to open up all the divine palaces, and all his thoughts were shattered.

"There are still some top-grade spiritual materials for refining weapons in the Treasure Pavilion. If they are not enough, the sect can help you exchange them.

Have you ever thought about what kind of life-defining magic weapon you want to refine?"

A cultivator who can earn 80,000 small merits a year is qualified to say this.

"It's not tuned yet."

Ji An was also thinking about the choice of his natal magic weapon. According to basic functions, magic weapons can be divided into three categories: attack, defense, and auxiliary.

Offensive magic weapons are the most common type of magic weapons among cultivators, followed by defensive magic weapons, and few choose auxiliary magic weapons.

In the future, Ji An would probably leave the sect and travel outside. He was struggling to decide which type of magic weapon would be more helpful.

Jia Yu nodded slightly and said:

"The choice of your natal magic weapon must indeed be made with caution. You can consider it carefully. It's not too late to make a decision when you open up your third or fourth divine palace."

The natal magic weapon accompanies the cultivator throughout his life and cannot be replaced, but it can grow with the cultivator's improvement.

A cultivator can possess many magic weapons, but can only have one natal magic weapon. Some cultivators have special circumstances and may be able to possess two.

After chatting for a while, Ji An bowed:
“I have to go to the Qingong Palace today to complete the handover of Ningcui Cliff.

Brother, we’ll talk again someday.”

"Go ahead. When will you take over the Sinong Palace?"

Jia Yu asked, from now on all spiritual farmers, spiritual fields, and medicine gardens will be under the jurisdiction of the Sinong Palace.

The Sinong Palace will re-plan the cultivation of spiritual medicines and cultivate more outstanding spiritual farmers.

Ji An replied:

"If possible, take over today, tomorrow at the latest."

It would be best to get these things done at once to avoid wasting time.

He waved and turned to leave.

Jia Yu transmitted the message:
"Ge Ying, Ningcui Cliff is about to become a lineage with a stable Chaoyuan cultivator inheritance."

Among Ning Cuiya's generation of disciples, excluding Ji An who has already reached the Chao Yuan stage, Zhong Yuefei and Liu Yu both have a great chance of breaking through to the Chao Yuan stage.

Liu Yu is already a cultivator at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he also possesses a Fire-Elemental Body. It is only a matter of time before he breaks through.

If Zhong Yuefei can also break through and become one of the three great masters of the same lineage, it will be a great event.

Ge Ying transmitted the message:
"It's too early to say that now. It depends on whether the disciples will do well or not, and it also depends on whether the disciples of the disciples will do well."

Only when there are disciples in every generation who can break through the Chaoyuan stage can it be considered a stable Chaoyuan inheritance.

The Hall of Hard Work.

"Your master can finally enjoy some peace and quiet."

Zhang Zizhao handed over the jade token that controlled the magic circle and said solemnly:
"The medicinal gardens in Ningcui Cliff are all spiritual fields of the second-grade upper grade or above. What we are cultivating now are the spiritual herbs needed for Chaoyuan stage pills, which are closely related to our cultivation.

Now that my junior brother has taken over, I hope to be able to cultivate a usable elixir soon."

The age of the medicine required for Chaoyuan period elixirs is generally required to be between six hundred and eight hundred years.

According to past experience, it takes about two hundred years to cultivate.

However, it was previously handled by spiritual farmers in the Foundation Establishment stage, but now it is taken over by cultivators in the Chaoyuan stage. He doesn't know how long it will take, but he feels that it can be shortened by at least thirty or forty years.

Ji An took the jade token and smiled confidently:

"Next, please let me see how good my cooking skills are."

When people grow medicinal herbs, there are many issues to consider, such as soil fertility, rain, pests, etc.

In the monk's medicine garden, the possibility of insect pests is zero. The soil is nourished by both spiritual veins and magic, and has no shortage of fertility. Rain is also a matter of magic.

Relatively speaking, spiritual farming is easier, provided that one has superb skills and has a high enough level of mastery of various planting techniques.

"Haha, the sect leader is also very concerned about this."

Zhang Zizhao smiled and said that in the history of the sect, there has never been a spiritual farmer in the Chaoyuan period.

Many monks are looking forward to what kind of results these monks can create.

"By the way, when will Junior Brother take over the Sinong Palace?"

"I'll take over today, okay?"

Zhang Zizhao raised his eyebrows, "Of course, we can set off now."

The deputy chief and many deacons of the Sinong Hall have been selected, and have been sorting out files at Ningcui Cliff for some time.

Ji An stood up, "Brother, please!"

Two auspicious clouds came and saw Ningcui Cliff. Ge Ying said:
"I won't go to the Sinong Palace. Please send me to the cave on the top of the mountain."

The disciple has taken over the Sinong Hall, and the sect may have some confidential arrangements. If she goes there rashly, it would be somewhat inconvenient.

Zhang Zizhao smiled and said:
"Junior brother, I'll be waiting for you in Sinong Hall."

After saying this, he urged the auspicious fire clouds that were as bright as the sunset to leave.

Ji An's eyes were full of envy, Huo Lingyun was so beautiful.

Although he is not a fan of appearance, which cultivator would not love Xiangyun, which is both beautiful and fast?
Ji An sent his master back to the cave and rode a cloud to the Sinong Palace.

There were already more than a dozen monks standing in the open space outside the hall, and Zhang Zizhao waved at him.

"Let me introduce you. This is Ji An, the first Lord of Sinong Hall! He is also the first Chao Yuan Stage Spiritual Farmer in our sect and even in Xizhou."

"Greetings, Palace Master!" All the disciples bowed and saluted.

Ji An gave him some support and said:
"Please excuse the formalities. From now on, we will need you all to work together to train more outstanding disciples for the sect and provide logistical support for the other halls."

"At the Palace Master's command."

Zhang Zizhao interjected:

"Junior brother, let me introduce you.

This is Deputy Hall Master Lin Mao, and this is Deputy Hall Master Kong Yunyi. They are both spiritual farmers in the late foundation building stage and have served the sect for many years.

Ji An smiled and nodded, and said politely:

“I’ve heard of you for a long time, and today I finally get to meet you two.

In the future, please continue to support us."

Although he is the hall master, he does not put on airs in front of the monks working below him.
