Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 329: Zhengyang Zhenren's Promise

"Right on my mind."

Ji An found a medium-grade Canglong wood, took the magic weapon handed to him by his disciple, and activated it.

The cold light flashed and wood chips flew.

Everyone else stared at the spiritual tree, expecting a sound to be heard, but also feeling a little nervous.

When the magic weapon was chopped down again, a vast dragon roar erupted, spreading in all directions, like a wind blowing.

Ji An felt that the impact of the sound on him was much greater than the previous two times, but it did not cause any harm to his mind.

Jia Yu frowned and said:
“It is basically certain that these spiritual trees have undergone unknown changes.

A similar situation has never occurred with the second-grade, mid-grade Canglong wood that the sect has planted before."

He pondered for a moment and speculated:
"If my guess is correct, the reason may come from my junior brother. Could it be that there is some mysterious connection between the Azure Dragon Wood and the Azure Dragon Awakening Technique?"

Only this possibility can barely explain the current problems.

Ji An handed the magic weapon to his disciple and said in a deep voice:
"Let's cut down two more trees and see what happens. If this sound is heard everywhere, we will go back to Scarlet Flame Peak and cut down a few medium-grade Canglong trees.

If this situation also occurs at Scarlet Flame Peak, it means that Senior Brother's speculation is most likely correct."

He was also thinking about the reason for this phenomenon, wondering if such a strange phenomenon would occur only when the Canglong Jingzhe technique reached the level of great perfection?
If this is the case with the Canglong wood, will other mid-grade spiritual woods have such magical properties?

Jia Yu nodded and said:

"Yes, that's it! But we have to verify one other thing first.

You guys, try cutting down a second-grade, low-quality spiritual tree first.

Don't be afraid, there's nothing unusual except these sounds."

There was nothing wrong with the Canglong wood that made the sound, and in fact, the quality was even better. He didn't pay much attention to the dragon roar sound emitted by the spiritual wood.

As long as there is no subsequent danger, he doesn't care what sound these spiritual trees make.

This was nothing new, and with the support of the two uncles, the Foundation Establishment disciples also felt more confident and bold.

A second-grade low-grade spiritual tree fell down, without any abnormality.

They cut down two more medium-grade Canglong trees one after another, and indeed there were sounds coming out.

Jia Yu scratched his head, "The spiritual tree really has become a spirit!"

Ji An nodded slightly and said:

"I'll go tell Lin Mao, and we'll go back to Scarlet Flame Peak together later."

He was very curious about the situation with the Canglong wood in his own dojo.

If a dragon roar sound is also emitted, but other medium-grade spiritual woods do not have this phenomenon, it can be basically confirmed that a wonderful "chemical reaction" has occurred between the Canglong Jingzhe technique and the Canglong wood.

Jia Yu said:
"Junior brother, you can handle the matters at hand first. I will report the matter to the head master and see if he has any opinions or suggestions. I will come to find you later."

Zhenren Zhengyang now spends most of his time dealing with the sect's affairs and is not worried about disturbing the other party.

After all, the ancestor is a Jindan Zhenren, so maybe he can make some discoveries.

Ji An nodded slightly and flew towards the Sinong Palace on a cloud.

The disciples cut off the branches of the spiritual tree and processed the trunk into pieces about ten feet long.

Jia Yu took out the golden sword for communication, explained the situation here in detail, and then fired it out.

He put the spiritual materials into the Dongxu Stone Ring. The storage spiritual ring in his hand was an asset of the sect. The internal space was comparable to a large hall and was specially used to store large and high-level spiritual materials.

After doing all this, he waved his hand and said:

"You can go back now and hand over your tasks to the Work Hall as usual.

But the fact that the spirit tree could emit a dragon's roar was all rotten in my heart."

If this situation were to spread, I don’t know what kind of impact it would have. Maybe there wouldn’t be any waves at all, but it’s still better to take precautions.

"As ordered!"

"Please rest assured, uncle. We are all secretive people. Otherwise, we would not have received high-level tasks from the Labor Hall for such a long time."

The disciples all patted their chests and made promises.

Jia Yu came to the Si Nong Palace and said:

"We are waiting for the ancestor's reply. If there is no explanation, we will return to Scarlet Flame Peak."

"Ok."

After Ji An agreed, he asked about strengthening the core of the Fire Mansion.

For now, he has no plans to open up a third divine palace, as his soul is not strong enough to support the consumption of three kinds of five elements at the same time.

He plans to expand the Wood Element Divine Palace to perfection and enter the second stage of Chao Yuan Period, which will further enhance the strength of his soul.

At that time, while improving the realm of the Fire Palace, the Earth, Metal and Water Palaces will all be opened up.

By the time Huo Fu successfully enters the third level of Chao Yuan Period, the Blood-Transforming Soul-Chasing Curse in his body should have completely dissipated.

At that time, you can apply to the sect for permission to travel outside and upgrade other divine palaces.

Jia Yu said:

“After I opened up the Fire Element Divine Palace, I chose the Bing Fire Qi of the Sun in the Sky and the Ding Fire Qi of the Stone.

The Fire in the Stone exists in the underground magma. The sect has rich fire veins, and the conditions for swallowing the Fire in the Stone are relatively good.

However, the Lung Fire Vein often contains Fire Evil, and it requires the use of Qigong to purify the Ding Fire Qi, so a lot of time is wasted."

Ji An listened carefully. The fire energy that the other party swallowed was different from his, but many of the little tricks gave him a lot of inspiration.

The two exchanged their experiences in cultivation. About an hour later, a golden sword flew in and stopped beside Jia Yu.

He caught the golden sword and probed it into his spiritual consciousness, then quickly stood up and said:
"The ancestor has arrived at the top of Ningcui Cliff. Let's go and greet him."

The two of them immediately left the hall and each rode their Fire Cloud to the top of the mountain, only to see Master Zhengyang and Ge Ying talking outside the cave.

When Zhenren Zhengyang saw two red auspicious clouds descending, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"Ji An, I remember that the first one you opened up was the Wood Element Divine Palace. How come you opened up the Fire Element Divine Palace so quickly?"

He sensed his disciple's realm and found that he had not broken through to the second level.

Ji An grinned and told his story again.

Zhenren Zhengyang's expression became more joyful, and he said:

"According to the mutual generation characteristics of the Five Elements, it will be much easier to open up a mutually generating Divine Mansion after one Divine Mansion is perfected.

Your Wood Element Divine Palace is not yet complete, but you were able to open up the Fire Element Divine Palace within a few years. It seems that you also have a good talent in the way of fire."

Having a good talent for fire not only means that it will be easier to open up the Fire Palace, but it will also be easier to open up the Earth Palace. He has more expectations for the future of this disciple.

Ji An laughed foolishly and did not give a direct answer.

He is not only talented in wood and fire, but also in the other five elements.

The ten Tao seeds in the body cover the five elements and are not just decorations.

But this kind of thing cannot be said out loud, you have to keep a low profile.

Zhenren Zhengyang said again:
"When the Canglong wood is cut down, it emits a dragon's roar. I have heard of this before when I was traveling in Zhongzhou.

It is said that there is an ancient legend that explains why the Canglong wood got this name.

It was originally just an ordinary spiritual tree, growing next to the Azure Dragon's lair. Over time, it was contaminated by the aura of the mythical beast and mutated, which is why its skin has a pattern resembling dragon scales. "A powerful cultivator imitated the Eastern Azure Dragon's revival of all things when it appeared, and created a spell called the Azure Dragon Awakening Technique.

It is said that this spell can awaken the memories deep in the blood of the Canglong Wood, and the monks of the Zhongzhou Shenmu Sect can cultivate the Canglong Wood that can roar like a dragon.

This Canglong wood has excellent wood properties. If it can be cultivated to the ultimate level, it can be used as the main material for ultimate spiritual weapons.

I've only heard about it, but I've never seen it myself."

When Zhenren Zhengyang heard the news, he just treated it as an interesting story.

Because even in the Shenmu Sect of the Nascent Soul Sect, there are not many cultivators who have the ability to cultivate this kind of spiritual material.

His eyes suddenly flickered and he asked:

"Ji An, what level has your Azure Dragon Awakening Technique reached now?"

Ji An said in a deep voice:
"To reply to the ancestor, it had reached its peak half a year ago."

"hiss!"

Jia Yu took a breath of cold air. It had been more than two hundred years since he broke through the Chao Yuan period, but he had not yet raised a single spell to the ultimate level.

Did he not want to?
Of course not, it’s because he doesn’t have the ability.

"well!"

Zhenren Zhengyang felt extremely relieved. His mood at this moment was exactly the same as when he learned that Lin Qiubai had accepted a disciple with the golden Taoist body and the aptitude of the highest rank.

Being able to comprehend the Chaoyuan period's spells to the utmost, this disciple's comprehension is definitely very good.

This is not outrageous, but the other party was able to do this less than ten years after breaking through the Chaoyuan period, which shows that his comprehension is far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.

Such a disciple also has the potential to achieve the Golden Elixir.

Next, he needs to pay close attention to the time it takes for the other party to break through to the second level of Chaoyuan period.

This can be used to roughly estimate the time it will take for the other party to fully refine the five divine palaces.

He suppressed his excitement, took out a golden sword for communication, and said kindly:
“It bears the mark of my mana, leave your mark to me.

When you break through to the second stage of Chaoyuan period, let me know immediately."

"As ordered!"

Ji An took the golden sword and handed his magic mark to the ancestor.

Now he can confirm that he has truly gained the recognition of the ancestor.

Zhenren Zhengyang waved his hand and said:
"Let's go to Scarlet Flame Peak and check out the situation."

Chiyan Peak, the stone house at the foot of the mountain.

A distorted light appeared on the teleportation array, and four monks appeared on it.

Ji An was the first to step down from the magic circle, pinching the magic formula to open the ban:

"Ancestor, please!"

Walking out of the stone house, Ji An took his master with him on a cloud, and three auspicious clouds, two red and one yellow, flew towards the Wood Spirit Plant Garden.

The second-level spiritual plants emit a soft spiritual light, sparkling in the sun, like gems inlaid in a spiritual field.

Looking down at this vibrant land, Zhenren Zhengyang exclaimed:
"I've never been to Scarlet Flame Peak before, and I never imagined the density of second-level spiritual plants here is not much different from those second-level top-grade spiritual vein nodes!"

At this moment, in his heart, he felt firsthand the tremendous impact that an excellent Chaoyuan-stage spiritual farmer could bring.

This disciple once boasted that he could cultivate a third-level spiritual plant, and now he believes it.

Ji An smiled modestly and said:
"I don't deserve the ancestor's praise."

Ge Ying was a little confused and asked:
"Why is the density of spiritual plants here so low? Logically speaking, now that you have broken through to the Chaoyuan stage and possess new planting spells, you should be able to plant more spiritual plants."

She had just made a rough estimate and found that in most spiritual fields, there were only a dozen or so spiritual plants sparsely planted per acre.

It was much sparser than the last time she came. In her opinion, this was a huge waste of spiritual field space.

Ji An explained:
“My disciple has two purposes in doing this. First, even without my spellcasting, the spiritual field can still maintain the growth of these spiritual plants.

Secondly, doing so will allow the spirit field to feed back into the earth veins. Over time, it should be possible to cultivate the spirit veins to the second-grade upper level."

He now felt that the spiritual energy that the stone turtle absorbed from the Red Flame Peak every day was completely unable to meet his needs.

After raising the planting spell to the great perfection level, you will also need to practice several fighting techniques as soon as possible, so that your safety will be more guaranteed when traveling in the future.

"It takes a long time to cultivate spiritual veins. It's great that you have this intention and perseverance.

If you can cultivate fifty second-grade, top-grade spiritual plants on Scarlet Flame Peak, I can allow you to use the sect's resources to cultivate Scarlet Flame Peak's spiritual veins."

Zhenren Zhengyang solemnly promised that being able to cultivate many spiritual plants that were higher than the spiritual field grade meant that his disciple’s attainments in spiritual farming were on par with the top spiritual farmers in the Yuanying Sect of Zhongzhou.

In this case, it would be reasonable for him to use the sect's resources to cultivate the Red Flame Peak, and other cultivators would have no complaints.

Ji An's eyes lit up and he smiled:

“I will keep the words of the ancestor in mind.

If this condition is met one day, I will definitely ask the ancestor to fulfill his promise."

The situation in the Red Flame Peak is extremely special. It is a place where the five elements of spiritual veins converge, and the stone turtle can absorb eight kinds of spiritual energy.

If possible, he would not want to leave here and choose another cave.

Zhenren Zhengyang laughed heartily:

"Very good, I am waiting for this day to come as soon as possible."

Chiyan Peak cultivated fifty second-grade high-quality spiritual plants, which would greatly increase the foundation of the sect!
This is not the end, it means that the other party can continuously cultivate more high-level spiritual plants.

In the long run, this disciple's role in the sect will exceed that of a Jindan cultivator!

A Jindan cultivator can only guard the sect for a thousand years, but a second-grade, top-quality spiritual plant can survive for more than two thousand years.

Ge Ying could hear the ancestor's joy at the moment, and looked at his disciple with a smile, his eyes full of pride.

As he spoke, three auspicious clouds landed in the Canglongmu forest.

"This time I will come to cut down the spiritual tree myself."

Zhenren Zhengyang said as he found a second-grade medium-grade Canglong wood and took out a moon-blade-shaped spiritual weapon with a cold glow.

The spiritual weapon was like a pool of autumn water, but it emitted a sharp light that was slightly dazzling.

A silver light flashed, and a wild dragon roar resounded through the mountains and forests.

Ji An heard a very slight sound, and the spiritual wood broke.

Zhenren Zhengyang whispered:
"Sure enough!
Ji An, I will inform the Qinong Hall that this piece of Canglong wood does not need to be handed over as spiritual wood in the future. You try to cultivate it to the second-grade upper grade.

You have twenty years to see if you can succeed."

The special second-grade, top-grade Canglong wood can be traded with cultivators in Central Continent in exchange for scarce resources.

It will take about twenty-three or twenty-four years before the next arrival of the cultivators from Central Continent.

“The disciple must give his all.”

Ji An said confidently that the growth of wood spirit plants was affected by three spells.

His Canglong Jingzhe technique has reached the great perfection. Within ten years, Yunlong Buyu technique and Huanglong Zengyuan technique will also be able to be improved to the great perfection level.

With the combined effects of the three spells, there is great hope of cultivating a second-grade, top-quality spiritual plant within the specified time.
