Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 322 Solution
Lin Mao shook his head and said:
“There were no signs of the incident before it happened. It was a type of black aphid that I had never seen before.

The most frightening thing is that the infestation is still spreading.

The deacons stationed there tried many methods, but it was difficult to kill them. The black aphids could even resist fire damage for a short time.

If we can't stop the spread of the pest, I'm afraid that all the spiritual fields in the sect that are not protected by magic arrays will suffer."

There are many spiritual fields that are not protected by magic arrays. In addition to the low-grade spiritual fields used to grow spiritual grains, there are also a large number of first-grade, medium- and low-grade spiritual fields.

In the first-level spiritual fields, medicinal materials for refining Qi Refining Pills and auxiliary medicines for Foundation Establishment Pills are planted.

Ji An recalled the situation Luofeng Valley encountered when the demon disaster broke out. He did not ask for the details at that time.

"Let's go to the scene of the incident."

He walked out of the hall, took out the Flame Flag and input magic power, and the speed of controlling the spiritual weapon was slightly faster than driving the cloud.

A cloud of fire enveloped the two figures, and bright yellow flames gushed out, rushing towards the north.

Lin Mao was extremely anxious. If the insect pests caused serious damage, the establishment of the Sinong Hall would become a huge joke, and they would probably be punished by the sect.

Puyun Mountain is the ancestral home of the Chen family.

Chen Xingzhou bowed and said flatteringly:
"Reporting to Lord Xiong Ba, I personally took action last night and released black aphids in the Jinling Sect area.

If nothing unexpected happens, they are in a state of panic right now."

This black aphid is very tenacious and difficult to eliminate quickly.

They have a hard shell that protects them from a lot of damage, and they have an amazing reproductive capacity, able to reproduce a generation in just two days.

If it cannot be eliminated quickly, the entire Jinling Sect will suffer.

"Haha, well done. The Heavenly Demon Alliance needs cultivators like you."

Xiong Ba laughed loudly. The Heavenly Demon Alliance had used the same method to create chaos in Luofeng Valley.

Now, the Heavenly Demon Alliance is releasing demon insects into the three sects at the same time. If everything goes well, the fruits of most of the spiritual fields in the three sects will be destroyed.

These evil insects are the result of years of secret cultivation. If they are allowed to wreak havoc, the low-level disciples of the three sects will have to endure a few years of hardship.

Linggu is easy to grow and matures in a few months, so the loss is tolerable.

But if low-level spiritual medicine is destroyed, it cannot be made up in a short period of time and will cause far-reaching consequences.

"Keep a close eye on the situation and report to me at any time."

"As you command! I have left some beasts behind to monitor the Jinling Sect at all times."

"I'm increasingly confident in your work. Good job! After a few more achievements, you'll be able to obtain the technique to break through to the Chao Yuan stage."

Chen Xingzhou was secretly delighted, but his face remained serious:
"Sharing your worries is what I should do."

He looked like a loyal dog that worked hard without complaint, which made Xiong Ba very happy.

This is the edge of the sect. A hawk is circling in the sky. It is just a wild beast.

A large number of spiritual farmers gathered in the spiritual field. They gathered in groups of three or four, talking in low voices, their voices full of worry.

If a solution is found now, these spiritual valleys can still be saved.

A production reduction is inevitable, but it will not lead to a complete loss.

Some spiritual farming disciples looked pale and bloodless. Their spiritual fields were the first to be affected and were now sentenced to a total crop failure.

If the sect's rent is not reduced, they will be burdened with debt, which will inevitably delay their cultivation.

Ji An controlled the spiritual weapon and landed it at the edge of the spiritual field. He saw a swarm of aphids occupying the leaves and stems of the spiritual field, making a rustling sound.

That was the sound of countless aphids devouring leaves, gathering into a wave.

A deacon from the Sinong Palace flew over and said in a trembling voice:

“Reporting to the two Palace Masters, the black aphids are spreading rapidly, and more and more areas are affected by the infestation.

We tried many methods, but none of them could kill them effectively.

These aphids not only eat the leaves, but they can also burrow into the ground and eat the roots.”

They tried, but it didn't help much.

Ji An caught a few aphids in his palm and observed them carefully.

These black bugs are two to three times the size of ordinary aphids, have mouthparts similar to ants, and have suckers similar to those of cicadas.

After being caught by him, she struggled frantically, trying to pierce his skin with the straw, but to no avail.

He raised his head and asked:
"What methods have you tried?"

The deacon replied:
"We tried burning, releasing the Sharp Gold Technique to kill, using Spirit Rain to wash, releasing the Cold Wind Technique, fumigating with mosquito repellent grass, poisoning, and so on. We tried every possible way to solve the problem."

The spiritual farmers themselves have also tried many unconventional methods, but with little success.

A spirit farmer ran over and fell to his knees with a plop:
"Masters, please save my spiritual plant!"

Ling Nong's face was dark red, his bitter face was covered with dense wrinkles, and his eyes were full of despair.

He rented twenty mu of first-grade low-grade spiritual farmland from the sect and planted Fire Cloud Ginseng, which would be harvested in two to three years.

These spiritual medicines are everything to him, and the foundation-building pill depends entirely on these spiritual ginsengs.

He is already fifty years old this year. If the elixir is exhausted, all his hopes will be gone.

Ji An used his object control technique to grab the disciple and said:

"Get up, I will do my best."

He is also a spiritual farmer and can empathize with this kind of thing.

He released the Sharp Gold Technique, and strands of golden light pierced into the aphids in his hand. The insects that were struggling frantically immediately calmed down.

Ji An went deeper into the cave and found that the aphids had completely lost their vitality and were dead.

He blinked, the task seemingly easy. His magical power rapidly circulated along a specific path within his immortal veins, and he exerted all his might to activate the Sharp Gold Technique.

Countless golden rays, thinner than cow hair, flashed and shone brightly, and the world suddenly became bright.

The sharp and unparalleled Dharma power dissipated, and Lin Mao felt as if a cold wind was cutting his face, and he subconsciously shrank his neck.

The Gengjin Soul-Slaying Sword can also condense countless golden rays as thin as silk threads, but at the same time it will destroy the spiritual plant itself.

The meaning of beheading the soul is to destroy life.

If he used the Gengjin Soul-Slaying Sword, the only consequence would be that the dying spiritual plant would die instantly.

A golden light flashed, and the black aphids that were frantically gnawing at the spiritual plants immediately became motionless.

Just then, a cool breeze blew by, and under the surprised gazes of Lin Mao and the deacon, countless black insects fell to the ground, and a layer of "black ash" appeared on the ground.

The deacon pounced on it, picked up the insect on the ground, probed it into his spiritual sense, and said in astonishment:

"Is this the end?"

The answer that the problem can be solved by just casting a Qi Refining spell makes him seem really stupid.

He also released the Sharp Gold Technique, but it had no effect at all.

Lin Mao bent down and grabbed a handful of insects. When he felt that their vitality was completely cut off, he immediately cast a spell on the spiritual field next to him.

He also knows the Sharp Gold Technique!
If he had known that the problem could be solved so quickly, he wouldn't have had to report to the Palace Master in such a panic.

Golden light shines and countless streams of light surge.

The effect of the spell completely disappeared, and the black aphids on the spiritual valley remained unmoved and continued to devour the leaves of the spiritual plants.

Lin Mao was embarrassed and felt a burning pain on his face.

Although the Sharp Gold Technique was not a commonly used magic spell, he had practiced it to perfection and had never expected it to be completely ineffective.

He knew that the effect of his spells would be worse than that of the Palace Master, after all, there was a gap in their cultivation.

He expected that only a portion of the black aphids would be killed, and he would need to cast the spell several more times to achieve the full effect.

Unexpectedly, not a single aphid was killed.

"Should you cast the spell again? Maybe this time it will work."

Lin Mao was struggling in his heart. He wanted to try again, but was afraid that the result would be the same as now.

That would solidify his reputation as someone who overestimates his own capabilities.

Ji An didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in his mind, and said in a deep voice:

"I'm going to start casting the spell. Organize the people and check if there are any fish that have slipped through the net."

After saying that, he began to use the Sharp Gold Technique with all his strength. With the golden light flashing, more than 20 acres of spiritual fields were enveloped.

Seeing him continuously casting spells, the crowd gathered nearby and surrounded him.

Lin Mao shouted:

“Palace Master Ji has displayed his divine power and has solved the pest problem.

All disciples, listen up! Follow me and check if there are any demonic insects that have escaped death by chance."

"Lingtian is saved!"

The disciples cheered and looked up at the head of Sinong Hall, whom they had never met before.

The hawk circling in the sky flew away and soon disappeared without a trace.

Ji An cast a spell on all the areas affected by insects. At this time, the sun was setting.

The sunset glowed like a steaming flame, illuminating the sky and burning out a layer of gold.

He called the spirit farmers together and said in a deep voice:
"I carefully observed the affected areas and found that the spiritual fields where spiritual grains and talisman grass were grown suffered serious damage.

This hall master has decided to exempt all affected disciples from three months’ rent.

If the losses are extremely serious, you can report it to the Ministry of Agriculture, and after verification, you can get additional relief."

There will inevitably be a significant reduction in the production of Linggu, but fortunately the losses in the medicinal fields are relatively small.

"it is good!"

"The master of the palace is wise!"

The disciples of Lingnong cheered loudly. According to this calculation, not only did they not suffer any losses from the disaster, but they actually made a profit.

The only extra cost is three months of time.

Ji An ordered the deacon to count the affected fields and the corresponding tenants, and then observed for a while at the edge of the sect's formation.

He felt that it must be man-made destruction, otherwise such a serious insect plague that came without any warning could not have been ended.

Ji An returned to Sinong Palace with the Flame Banner, and Lin Mao said softly:
"Palace Master, your decision today is against the rules. The sect cannot bear the loss of these spiritual farmers."

The other party's decision is simple, but it will fill up a lot of contribution points for the Sinong Hall.

In his opinion, although the affected spiritual fields would have reduced production, his disciples could fully afford such losses.

If disciples are allowed to develop the bad habit of dependence, they will be unable to be effectively managed.

"We all realize the strangeness of this insect plague. If we let the disciples bear the losses, the sect's responsibility will be questioned.

I will report this matter to the other hall masters and carry it out."

Ji An said that he had to ask the Law Enforcement Hall to strengthen patrols on the outskirts of the sect.

What happened today was clearly an attack, but the Law Enforcement Hall did not find any clues, and strictly speaking, they were derelict in their duty.
