Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 320: Medium-Grade Dao Seed
Ji An held the jade bottle in his hand and said in surprise:

"The elixir is named after red pine. Could it be that Senior Sister has experimented with a recipe for an elixir using pine nuts as the main ingredient?"

He glanced at Jia Yu next to him and thought to himself that it must be the case, otherwise he would not have moved his senior brother from the Treasure Pavilion here.

Han Yan covered her mouth and smiled:

"The name of the pill is too easy to guess. It can be taken by those at the late stage of foundation building.

By comparison, its medicinal power is 20% of the Fire Dragon Refining Heart Pill, but its various costs are less than 10% of the Fire Dragon Pill."

Her eyes were full of pride. For an alchemist, this was a remarkable achievement, the result of her years of accumulation in alchemy.

With this pill recipe, she will have a very high status among the alchemists in the entire Xizhou.

The main ingredient of the Fire Dragon Qi Refining Pill is the three-hundred-year-old dragon blood fruit, and pine nuts are produced every year.

Jia Yu said in a deep voice:
"This means that as long as other medicinal materials can keep up, a large number of Red Pine Pills will be produced every year, which can greatly make up for the shortage of pills for disciples practicing the Fire Element Technique."

The number of foundation-building cultivators who practice fire-based exercises in the sect accounts for the largest proportion, and the sect's strength will increase rapidly.

He suppressed his excitement and continued:
"The raw material for the Red Pine Pill is second-order low-grade pine nuts. If we use second-order mid-grade or higher pine nuts as the raw material, can we refine a pill that can be used by Chaoyuan-stage cultivators?
The ancestor has learned about the situation and ordered Junior Sister Han to test this type of elixir recipe.

If this succeeds, the speed at which Chaoyuan-stage cultivators can open up their Fire Element Divine Palaces will be greatly accelerated."

Ji An also nodded excitedly and said:

"That's really great news. How can I help?"

The next step is to open up the Fire God's Palace. It's like someone is giving you a pillow when you are sleepy.

Han Yan's smile bloomed like a peony, and she said gently:
"Junior brothers are the most important link. Without a continuous supply of second-level pine nuts, no matter how good the pill recipe is, it will be useless.

In addition, second-level pine honey is also an important raw material. If you refine pills in large quantities, the demand for pine honey is very high."

A good cook cannot cook without rice; without ingredients, everything is in vain.

The number of second-level red cloud pines in Red Flame Peak accounts for half of the total number in the sect, and there is a trend of increasing year by year.

Due to the scattered planting in other areas, there is no pine honey production at all.

Jia Yu said solemnly:
"The ancestor is closely following the progress of the matter and plans to find another second-level medium-grade spiritual field to plant red cloud pine.

From today onwards, the number of second-level pine nuts that can be exchanged for small merits will increase by 20%.

The price of second-grade low-quality pine honey has been raised to ten small gong per catty.

The sect has requested that the Sinong Hall adjust the planting of relevant medicinal herbs, striving to be able to refine large quantities of Red Pine Pills as soon as possible."

Han Yan carefully took out a jade slip and said:

"This is the recipe for the Red Pine Pill. Junior brother, please calculate the time it takes for the spiritual medicine to mature and the proportions, and plant it in the medicine garden.

But remember, the proportion of planting quantity to actual demand cannot be the same.”

Jia Yu coughed and said in a low voice:

“Junior brother should know the importance of this matter, but I still want to mention one thing.

The Red Pine Pill is of great importance. It embodies Junior Sister Han's hard work and the sect's expectations. The recipe is strictly forbidden to be leaked, otherwise the sect will hold you accountable."

A new pill recipe means a steady stream of benefits and an increase in the sect's foundation, so it's never too careful.

"Don't worry, senior brothers and sisters, I know the importance of this matter."

Ji An placed the jade slip on his forehead and quickly memorized the recipe.

He crushed the jade slip and said:
"Senior Sister, I am also an alchemist. Can I make Red Pine Pill in the future?"

Han Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and said in surprise:
"Of course you can. I haven't heard from you, Junior Brother, that you are now able to refine late-stage foundation-building pills?"

Ji An laughed a few times and shook his head:

“I haven’t tried refining it yet, and currently I can only refine the Green Lotus Pill.

When I have enough materials, I will try to refine the Red Pine Pill."

His alchemy skills can help him get the chance to obtain the Green Lotus Burning Heart Fire, so he must practice them in the future.

Jia Yu smiled and said, "Other cultivators who want to exchange for pill recipes have to pay a small amount of merit, and you are no exception!"

He had heard a little about the other party learning alchemy, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He thought that his skills were poor. He never thought that he could already refine pills for the middle stage of foundation building.

Han Yan waved her jade hand, "Junior brother, you don't need to pay the small merit."

When exchanging recipes with other alchemists, she can obtain a small achievement of 90%, which is an additional reward given by the sect.

She will have this income as long as she is alive.

Not only that, since the Red Pine Pill could be refined in large quantities, she would also receive some small merit for every pill handed in by other alchemists, and this would last for thirty years.

The sect strongly supports the research of elixir formulas. Not only the elixir formulas, but also the development of new weapon refining techniques, beast taming secret methods, etc.

Therefore, after the disciples have achievements, they are willing to hand them over to the sect, because the benefits they gain are much greater than if they keep them to themselves.

“Since Junior Sister Han has spoken, then forget it.

In the future, if you refine the Red Pine Pill, please try to hand it over to the sect in exchange for small merits. This will be a form of support for Junior Sister Han."

Ji An grinned, "When you drink water, don't forget the well digger. I will."

Having said that, as long as you can get enough resources, I have no problem handing over all the output to the sect.

If nothing else, just enough soul incense will be enough."

There is enough soul incense, so it is no problem for him to double the speed of building his palace.

Jia Yu's brow was filled with black lines. He was most afraid of these fellow disciples who had a lot of minor achievements.

He glanced at Han Yan obscurely, and soon this person would be one of them.

Cultivators like Junior Brother Ji exchange resources for small merits, and many of the other party's small merits are rewards that are completely created out of nothing.

Han Yan noticed his expression and chuckled:
"Junior Brother Ji, you are bringing up something irrelevant."

She paused and said faintly:
"The sect's high-level resources are indeed unable to meet the demand."

Jia Yu scratched his head, "It will be fine soon. The sect's main spiritual vein has been cultivated to the third level for decades, and the high-level spiritual herbs planted there will be harvested one after another.

With Junior Brother Ji in charge of the Sinong Hall, the sect's spiritual farming training will gradually catch up with Luofeng Valley. With his help, the output of spiritual fruits and medicines will increase year by year.

The pill formula that Junior Sister has researched can be used to create a lot of additional value for the sect."

Ji An's face was slightly bitter, as these words sounded like they were increasing his workload.

The three of them exchanged their experiences in cultivation for a while, and then the two guests stood up and said goodbye.

Jia Yu warned:
"Junior brother, the sect will quietly purchase spiritual medicines. In a few years, our spiritual medicines will gradually mature, and the demand for second-level pine nuts and pine honey will be very high. Junior brother, you must increase the supply of materials."

"Understood. I will reduce the production of gin and also order the queen ant to slowly reduce the population."

There are nearly ten thousand kilograms of second-grade pine nut wine in Chiyan Peak, enough for many years of consumption.

Ji An decided that starting next year, he would only use 10% of the total output for brewing wine.

After seeing the guests off, Ji An found Lin Mao and said:
"Palace Master Lin, please give me the information about the sect's second-level lower-grade spiritual field."

"Palace Master, please wait a moment." Lin Mao took out the account book and placed it on the table. Ji An estimated the planting area of ​​various spiritual herbs and made a table:
"All the spiritual herbs planted in these medicine gardens will be destroyed within two years and replaced with the ones I specify. The planting area must strictly follow the requirements."

The destroyed elixirs were all medicinal ingredients that could replace the Red Pine Pill.

"Palace Master, this is against the rules.

The Qingongdian will assess our planting, and doing so would be equivalent to a major mistake on our part."

Lin Mao looked quite embarrassed. The other party's action meant that there was a problem in formulating the strategy, and he would definitely be punished by the Qingong Hall.

"I made the decision on the spur of the moment. I will explain the situation to Senior Brother Zhang."

Ji An understood very well that the other party was unwilling to take responsibility.

He took out the golden sword for communication, briefly explained the reason for doing so, and made a note in the jade slip and left his own magical mark.

After the Sinong Hall was established, most of the sect's disciples did not feel any difference.

The experience of Lingnong disciples is that every month there are disciples in the late stage of Qi training who will explain the practice and answer questions.

Other than that, there doesn't seem to be much difference.

Another three years passed in a flash.

In the Sinong Hall, Ji An stopped practicing the Pifu method and pressed his temples to physically relieve the fatigue caused by excessive consumption of spiritual consciousness.

In fact, this is of no use, but it can provide psychological hints.

The wood-type spiritual energy in the Sinong Palace area is not as strong as that in the Red Flame Peak, so he spends most of his time during the day building his residence.

Although the speed of cultivation improvement has been a little slow in recent years, the results of building a mansion have been more fruitful.

Currently, thirty-one veins have been opened up in the inner layer of the Fire Element Divine Palace, and five more are needed to complete the process.

Then you can eat fire and circulate your qi, and your daily happiness will be doubled.

There is also an extremely good news. After comparison, Ji An has determined that the pure and spiritual energy emitted by the stone turtle every year provides the upper limit of the Yuanming Fire!
In other words, his foundation is deeper than that of cultivators of the same level, which increases his background and the success rate and quality of refining the golden elixir.

As the Yuanming Fire becomes more and more vigorous, he can now consume eleven strands of Wood Qi every day.

The number of wood-type spiritual plants above the second level in Chiyan Peak has increased a lot compared to three years ago. Combined with the supplements from Sinong Palace and several Ningcui Cliff medicinal gardens, it can fully meet his growing needs.

Ji An brewed a cup of medium-grade Yunding Yinhao tea and sipped it quietly.

When the water had no taste, he sank his mind into his dantian and connected with the stone turtle.

[Master: Ji An]

[Tao Yun: Gold 2.2, Water 0, Wood 0, Fire 0.6, Earth 3.1]

Spiritual Ability: Kan Spirit 168.2, Gen Spirit 185.4, Zhen Spirit 544.5, Xun Spirit 1814.6, Kun Spirit 88.6, Qian Spirit 272.8, Dui Spirit 7981.9, Li Spirit 162.3

【Detoxification (Perfect 18%)

Azure Dragon Awakening Technique (99% complete)

Cloud Dragon Raining Technique (49% complete)

Zhurong Divine Fire Curse (64% complete)

Huanglong Yuan Zengshu (52% complete)

Earth Escape Technique (Great Mastery 12%).

Ji An smiled reservedly in his heart. At this moment, he was witnessing the first Chao Yuan period spell being promoted to the Great Perfection level.

"Refine the spiritual energy and improve the Azure Dragon Awakening Technique."

His spiritual consciousness entered the stone turtle space, and his feet stepped on Zhen and Xun. The dividing line between emerald green and dark green became blurred.

The details of the spiritual shadow are fuller, and you can tell from his face that it is his appearance.

The divine consciousness began to practice magic, and the blue dragon circled in the air.

Green light danced all over the sky, like green jade beads, and there was a tiny green dragon in each bead.

His inspiration kept decreasing, and Ji An felt that his spiritual consciousness was getting higher and higher. The earth was desolate after winter, and everything he saw was in ruins.

Suddenly, a vast dragon roar was heard, like the beginning of spring thunder, all the trees sprouted, and snakes and insects woke up from their hibernation.

The warm wind blows away the last trace of sadness of winter, green bursts out from the withered and gray grass, and young leaves sprout from the branches of the trees.

The grass is growing and the warblers are flying, all spirits are competing.

The desolate world is redecorated with lush greenery, with hundreds of flowers blooming, butterflies flapping their wings and playing among the flowers, and swarms of bees buzzing.
Ji An's consciousness returned and he could sense his body again.

[Blue Dragon Awakening Technique (Perfection 99% → 100%)]

This line of handwriting was like ink dropped into clear water, quickly fading away and finally leaving no trace.

[Tao Seed: All Things Grow (Medium Grade), hidden in the Huagai acupoint, comprehends the true meaning of Jiamu's Taoist magic, 'Flourishing', and enhances the understanding of Jiamu's Taoist magic.]

[Tao Seed: Yimu Rejuvenation (Medium Grade), hidden in the Jade Spring Cave, comprehends the true meaning of Yimu's Taoist magic, 'Life and Death, Withering and Flourishing', and enhances the understanding of Yimu's Taoist magic.]

The Wood Element Divine Palace shone brightly, and the core of the Divine Palace trembled violently, expanding visibly to the naked eye.

Ji An was surprised that both Jia and Yi Wood Dao seeds were improved to medium quality. In the introduction of improving enlightenment, there were no adjectives such as "a little" or "some".

The improvement of Tao seeds can also bring another benefit, the effect of wood element spells will be further enhanced.

In other words, even if the Canglong Jingzhe technique has not reached the level of great perfection now, the effect of the spell will be much stronger than before.

Ji An's eyes fell on the line of words about detoxification. As the grade of Tao seeds increases, the spiritual energy required to improve spells will inevitably decrease accordingly.

"Refine your spiritual energy and improve your detoxification skills."

The Zhen spirit and Xun spirit decrease simultaneously, the spell comprehension increases rapidly, and when the spiritual energy is exhausted, the picture freezes.

[Detoxification (Perfection 18% → 46%)]

His eyes opened, and Ji An laughed out loud, clapping his hands. "Comfortable!"

The consumption of inspiration is only 40% of what it used to be, and the feeling of enjoying discounts makes people feel happy.

This spell can only be improved quickly through actual use. Ever since the Rock Armor Bear became thick-skinned and no longer afraid of the stings of the Spirit Bees, he has not practiced it.

Now that the cost of upgrading spells has been reduced, it will only take a few years to reach its maximum potential.

This is great news for someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

From then on, the only "thorn" left in the spell column was the Soul Sealing Spell.

This spell requires all kinds of spiritual energy to improve, so he plans to wait until all the Dao seeds are upgraded to the middle grade before making any plans.

In a very good mood, Ji An walked out of the hall and came to the woods on the back mountain.

For three years, this piece of Canglong wood has enjoyed the same treatment as the medicine garden. He casts a round of spells every two days.

Now all the spiritual trees have been upgraded to the second level, and there are six medium-quality ones.

This was completely voluntary labor, and he did not receive any merit from the sect. The benefit he received was that he could eat four strands of qi every ten days.

Ji An cast a spell, and magic power flowed out from his dantian, circulating rapidly in his immortal veins. The wood element divine palace flashed with emerald light, and the Jia and Yi wood Taoist seeds in his acupoints shone as bright as stars.

The Canglong Jingzhe technique has been improved to the perfect level. If I don’t show it off, how can I justify all the hard work and practice for so long!
