Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 338: Flame Flag Lifting from the Ground

“You have already cultivated a second-grade, top-grade spiritual mulberry tree on Scarlet Flame Peak. I’m afraid it won’t take many years for you to meet the ancestor’s requirements and cultivate fifty top-grade spiritual plants.

With the help of the sect, the spiritual veins of Red Flame Peak were upgraded to the second-grade upper grade, which in turn can nourish the growth of spiritual plants."

Ge Ying felt radiant. Throughout the history of the sect, the spiritual vein level of the Taoist temple had never been improved for any individual. The disciple wanted to create a precedent in the sect.

"I believe that within ten years, we will definitely be able to meet the requirements, and it is possible to cultivate the top-grade spiritual peaches here to the ultimate level."

Ji An smiled, his tone calm and composed, as if he was casually strolling in the garden while cultivating top-grade spiritual plants.

He expected that the Yellow Dragon's Essence Enhancement Technique and the Cloud Dragon's Rain-Breaking Technique would reach the level of great perfection within two years, and the effectiveness of the spells would be further enhanced.

Based on the experience of improving two spells, such as the Blue Dragon Jingzhe Spell, to the Great Perfection, the corresponding Tao seeds can break through to the middle grade, thereby increasing the power of the spells.

He guessed that even if a spiritual farmer in the Chaoyuan stage from a major sect in Central Continent could practice the planting spell to the Dayuanmen level, the effect of the spell would be weaker than his.

A duel between masters may seem like a fine line of difference, but the results can be completely different.

"How confident are you in cultivating a top-grade spiritual peach?"

Ge Ying looked anxious. Her disciple's words meant that she would be able to see top-grade spiritual plants growing on Ningcui Cliff again in her lifetime.

"I have at least a 60 to 70 percent chance of success. Even if I don't succeed, it will only take a few more years. Now I have every confidence in cultivating a top-grade spiritual plant."

Ji An said firmly that in just a few years, the number of second-level spiritual plants in Chiyan Peak has increased dramatically, including a large number of mid-grade spiritual plants.

When all the planting spells in the Chaoyuan period are upgraded to the extreme, combined with the medium-grade Tao seeds, the effects will be further superimposed.

This superposition is multiplication rather than addition, and the multiplier is greater than 1. It is estimated to reach about 1.5, which is a considerable increase.

"Ten years, I will wait for this day to come as soon as possible.

By the way, judging from the speed at which you are improving in the Wood Element Divine Palace stage, you should be able to break through to the third level of the Chao Yuan Stage in ten years.

After opening up the Tuxing Shenfu, when do you plan to go out and travel?"

Ge Ying asked with concern. Although she was not a Chao Yuanqi cultivator, she knew that the sect could not meet the needs of eating earth and water to circulate qi.

If the disciple wanted to go out and travel as soon as possible, it would be a farewell forever for her.

Ji An pondered and said:
"I will stay in the sect for a few years, and then I can travel with Senior Brother Liu Yu, and I can look after him."

Like him, Senior Brother Liu must first open up the Fire Palace. After cultivating the Fire Palace to perfection, he can open up the Earth Palace and need to go out to eat air.

Senior Sister Ge opened up the Gold Element Divine Palace, and in the second stage of Chao Yuan Period, she will open up the Water Element Divine Palace, and by then there will also be a need to go out.

"Very good, you should prepare a higher-grade spiritual weapon in advance. It's a bit shabby for a Chao Yuan-stage cultivator to use a second-grade low-grade spiritual weapon.

I suggest you prioritize refining a defensive spiritual weapon; protecting yourself is the most important thing."

Ge Ying reminded him that this disciple was financially strong and could directly refine a high-grade spiritual weapon or even a top-grade spiritual weapon.

After all, the disciple is just a spiritual farmer. Even if he has a talent for fighting, he does not hone his killing skills like a sword cultivator, so he should not be competitive and aggressive.

"Master, rest assured. I will make preparations in advance. I will go find Senior Brother Zhu Xiangrong in a few days."

Ji An gladly accepted the suggestion. In the past few years, he had been struggling to choose which top-grade spiritual weapon to refine because he wanted to use it as his natal magic weapon.

Customizing a top-grade spiritual weapon is extremely expensive, and he doesn't have the capital to change it for another one if he is dissatisfied.

The current situation at Chiyan Peak no longer makes him have this concern. He will first refine a few top-grade spiritual weapons, and if they don’t work, he will change them!

This is the advantage of being rich, you don’t have to count the rice grains before putting them into the pot.

"Uncle Zhu is the best weapon refiner in the sect, so it's definitely a good idea to go find him."

The two chatted for a while, and Ji An described the future of Scarlet Flame Peak to his master, and finally stood up to say goodbye:
"Master, I will take my leave. I need to return to Scarlet Flame Peak to absorb the Ding Fire Qi."

"Go ahead," Ge Ying waved her hand with a smile, her eyes full of kindness and relief.

After the disciple broke through to the Chaoyuan stage, he never relaxed his efforts to improve his cultivation. With the support of the second-level spiritual plants all over the Chiyan Peak, there would be no shortage of resources for breaking through to the Jindan stage in the future.

In the evening, the light and shadow in the teleportation array distorted, and Ji An returned to Chiyan Peak.

He flew over the cold pond on a cloud and found two guests whom he had not seen for a long time sitting at a stone table.

The red fire cloud, as bright as the sunset, descended, and Wei Songnian and his wife immediately stood up:
"Meet Uncle Master!"

"My two fellow Daoists, please excuse me."

Ji An observed the expressions of the two and asked softly:

"Is there anything urgent, my dear husband?"

Wei Songnian's expression was a little unnatural, and he smiled and said:
"I came here today to catch up with my uncle. If he's busy, we can come another day."

When he arrived at Chiyan Peak, he secretly asked his younger brother, who said that Fellow Daoist Ji's personality had not changed.

Originally he was quite relieved, but the words "is there an urgent matter" immediately made his mood plummet to the bottom. He lamented that the difference in their realms was too great and the distance between them was too far, so their former friendship naturally became estranged.

Ji An laughed, pointed at the red sun behind him that was about to fall completely, and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood me. Chaoyuan stage cultivation requires the consumption of Qi, and there are strict requirements for the consumption of Qi. If you miss the time, the Five Elements Qi you consume will not be pure enough.

If your business is not urgent, please wait for a moment.

We haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good drink and chat tonight."

Wei Songnian felt that the other party was not really alienated. He realized that he had thought too much and had misunderstood. He said with a little embarrassment:
"Fellow Daoist, business is more important. We will just wait."

"Haha, please go to the living room and wait first.

Song Tao, have Cuihua cook a few more of her signature dishes. Feel free to use the second-grade, mid-quality spirit wine and ingredients."

Ji An explained to show his importance.

He had known the other party since he was at the first level of Qi Refining, and they had maintained close contact until the outbreak of the demonic disaster. Their friendship was not limited to business dealings.

Wei Songnian said hurriedly:

"Fellow Daoist, this is impossible. It's a waste for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to eat second-order, mid-grade ingredients."

His Dantian was injured during the battle at Mingfeng Mountain. Although his cultivation was preserved and his injuries recovered somewhat later, his cultivation progress became extremely slow and he had given up practicing.

"The guest should follow the host's wishes. Please go to the living room and wait."

Red clouds appeared under Ji An's feet, and he flew towards the red cloud pine forest on the clouds.

At this moment, the sun has set and only the afterglow remains. The bright and fiery golden sunset glow is quickly fading.

He stood in a corner of the woods, half-opened his mouth, pressed his tongue against his lower teeth, and exhaled while saying "He".

The turbid air in the heart's fire palace is then exhaled, and the new air is inhaled naturally.

The warm fire energy from the wood is sucked into the mouth and the body swallows it instinctively.

The Ding fire energy flows rapidly in the immortal meridians and flows into the heart.

At this moment, the heart is like a fiery red jade, shining naturally, with light glittering on the golden veins.

The yin and yang energies of Ding Fire and Bing Fire merged together, turning into the color of red gold. The core of the divine palace trembled slightly, and the fire energy was suddenly swallowed up, and the core flashed with brilliance for an instant.

As the last ray of light between heaven and earth disappeared, the clouds disappeared into the night sky.

Ji An finished breathing and felt warm all over.

He flew back to the living room on a cloud and said with a smile:

"It's a neglect."

Wei Songnian quickly stood up and responded:

"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."

The host and the guest sat down and exchanged greetings for a while. Wei Songnian then said:

"Fellow Daoist, I heard the news.

The sect is about to clear out the remaining demon cultivators and devil cultivators. Once the situation stabilizes, I can return to Xiaozhu Mountain and rebuild the Wei family. "After the two disasters, Xizhou was devastated, and the Wei family was left with only one Foundation Establishment cultivator and seventy or eighty Qi Refining cultivators.

Its strength is only one-third of what it was in its heyday, and it has been huddled in its ancestral land in the core area of ​​Xiaozhu Mountain.

His fellow Taoist Yin Qiuyun is not a disciple of the sect, so there are many restrictions on her staying here.

Ji An nodded slightly. The sect and many families had an agreement that family disciples could return to the family after serving for a certain number of years.

Only disciples like Liu Yu who have higher aspirations will choose to completely integrate into the sect and slowly cut off ties with their family.

“After you left, you no longer have the status of a sect disciple. I cannot interfere in the disputes between families.

However, if you need help in other areas, please feel free to ask. Whether it's spirit stones or resources, anything that Red Flame Peak has can be traded with you."

The sect strictly forbids disciples from interfering in matters outside the sect. If the Wei family has a conflict with other families, he cannot intervene directly.

"I know the sect's rules and I won't make things difficult for you, fellow Taoist."

Wei Songnian smiled relaxedly and said that the purpose of his coming was to hear what the other party had just said.

He knows his limits and won't push things too far.

As a businessman, he knows very well that no matter how deep the friendship is, it will become weak over time.

After the conversation started, Wei Songnian lost his initial restraint and the few of them had a very pleasant conversation.

Dishes were served one after another, cold dishes and hot stir-fries, each one was delicious and fragrant.

The aroma of wine wafts in the air, people clink glasses and talk happily.

Yin Qiuyun put down the wine glass and said softly:

"Songnian once said that when Bai Lin turns twelve, if he has enough talent, he will be accepted into the sect. He said that he wants him to make more connections. I feel very reluctant to let him go."

Bai Lin is Wei Songnian's second son, and he is only six years old now. The eldest son has poor talent and only low-level qualifications, so he has no chance to join the sect.

Ji An nodded and smiled:

"It's actually not difficult to join the sect. It just depends on what Fellow Daoist Wei expects of his offspring.

Let me ask, if Bai Lin's aptitude could reach the top grade, would you be willing to let him stay in the sect to develop?"

In fact, Wei Songnian only asked to come to him. It would not be difficult to arrange for the other party's eldest son to join the sect. If he asked for the favor from a cultivator in the Chaoyuan period, the General Affairs Hall would definitely give him this face.

It's just that his qualifications are too low, making it difficult for him to integrate into the sect. He can only hang around at the bottom and it's difficult for him to make useful connections.

The other party probably didn't bring it up because of this consideration.

Wei Songnian was silent for a moment, then said solemnly:
"Of course I do."

If the Wei family could produce a great cultivator, even if his relationship with the sect and family would be weak, the potential impact would not be small.

He will lead the family to grow, and his children can see the scenery from a higher place on his behalf.

Ji An nodded slightly and promised:

“If the Wei family has a disciple with top-grade qualifications who would like to join the sect, I would be willing to accept one of them as my disciple and train him carefully.

Whether he stays in the sect or returns to Xiaozhu Mountain, let him make his own decision."

This was to repay the favor of the Soul-Nourishing Tree. He touched the pendant on his chest. This magical item that could continuously release the spiritual power of the earth was also a gift from the other party.

Wei Songnian cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:
"I will always remember your kindness, fellow Daoist."

He came today without saying anything, but the most important purpose has been achieved.

"Mutual favor and mutual benefit."

Ji An laughed heartily, raised his glass and said:
"Don't stop drinking, I won't go home until I'm drunk today."

"please!"

After the three of them drank together, Ji An said:
"Fellow Daoist, after returning to Xiaozhu Mountain, what kind of goods do you plan to sell?
In the future, the products of Chiyan Peak will at least be second-grade low-grade spiritual objects.

Furthermore, the talismans I will draw from now on will mainly be those of the second rank or higher.”

In the past, the trade between them was mainly talismans and spiritual wine.

Frankly speaking, if the Wei family were to deal in second-level spiritual objects, they would be coveted by others.

There is no other reason, the strength is not enough to intimidate the villains.

Wei Songnian pointed at his Taoist companion and said:

“Qiu Yun has a talent for alchemy, and now she is able to refine elixirs for the middle stage of foundation building.

When I return to the family, I plan to train more family alchemists.

The main business is to sell elixirs, talismans, and spirit wine. I also opened a general store to facilitate resource collection."

He knew very well that the main reason he was able to obtain Ji An's promise was because of the Soul-Nourishing Tree.

If you want to stay in touch, the best way is to collect resources that the other party can use.

He would use the support he received from Chiyan Peak to manage his family while working hard to collect more rare spiritual seeds or seedlings.

Ji An nodded slightly:

"I have quite a lot of second-grade low-grade honey and various spiritual fruits.

Whenever you need anything in the future, just ask me.

In a few years, I will also sell spiritual tea here and supply it to fellow Taoists."

Once the Yunding Jade Tree and Youyue Jade Tree begin to produce seeds, tea tree planting will inevitably increase.

Apart from anything else, he would plant all the species of Youyue Cangyu Tree.

The higher the level of the spiritual tree, the fewer seeds it will produce each time. He wants to plant dozens of spiritual tea trees, but he doesn't know how many years it will take to achieve his wish.

half a month later.

Ji An didn't need to go to the Sinong Palace to take charge, so he rode a cloud to a cave in Chitong Mountain.

Zhu Xiangrong came out to greet him, bowed and said:
"Junior Brother Ji, what brings you here today?"

He learned from his junior brother Jia Yu that the other party practiced diligently and rarely went out on weekdays.

"I'm looking for you today, Senior Brother, to discuss refining a spiritual weapon."

Ji An took out two green jade jars and said with a smile:
"I heard that Senior Brother enjoys tea tasting. These are Yunding Yinhao and Yulu Jinya produced in Chiyan Peak. I'm sending some for you to taste."

He laughed in his heart. Zhao Lei was the other party's disciple and loved drinking. The two master and disciple had opposite hobbies.

Zhu Xiangrong didn't hesitate and put away the jade jar:

"Then I will gladly accept it. Junior brother, come in and chat."

He had been coveting the spiritual tea from Chiyan Peak for a long time, but when he heard that the other party had no intention of selling the spiritual tea, he did not say anything.

The two entered the cave and sat down. Zhu Xiangrong asked:

"What kind of spiritual weapon do you want to refine, and what level?"

"A top-grade spiritual weapon, the more potential the better, and the materials are easier to collect."

Ji An knew that he had no right to be picky.

He would choose whichever mature method of refining spiritual weapons was inherited from the sect.

Those materials that were tailor-made were monster materials, which he didn't have.

Zhu Xiangrong bared his teeth and pondered:
"Junior brother, you are very courageous. In this case, I recommend that you refine the Lidi Flame Flag or the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag."
