Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 341 The Powerful Du Huaiyuan

Ji An shook his head and said:
“This matter involves a lot of consequences, and the sect will definitely have to make a big move.

If it is discovered that the family that escaped did something shameful, what will happen to the abandoned family disciples? "

The sect will not tolerate any treacherous behavior behind these families. When such things happen, there will always be a bloody storm.

A sect that has grown from a weak sect to a giant must have gone through countless mergers and battles to reach its current state. How could it not have blood on its hands?

“It is said that those who remain are mediocre cultivators and mortals in the early stages of Qi Refining. The cultivators are sent to the mines as slaves and have no hope of surviving.

As for the mortals, their lives will not be in danger; they will simply be dispersed and assigned to towns directly under the sect's jurisdiction."

Many monks in the sect who have poor qualifications and a short lifespan will choose to move to these towns with their families.

The Taoist temples in these immortal cities are a very important source of disciples for the sects.

Liu Yu paused, a cold look flashing in his eyes:
"I'm actually very curious, what exactly did these families do?"

Since establishing its dominance in Western Continent, the sect's external rules have not been strict, and can even be said to be somewhat conciliatory.

Even if those families made serious mistakes and infringed upon the interests of the sect, they would only be fined more resources.

These people would rather give up their foundation and flee, which he thought was a serious crime of exterminating their entire clan.

Ji An took out some dried mulberries from his storage bag and said:
“The sect will handle it, so we don’t need to worry about it.

By the way, Senior Brother, do you know if Pu Yunshan Chen is on the list of people who escaped?"

When he settled in Chiyan Peak, he was attacked, and it was very likely that Chen was behind this.

A true independent cultivator would not have the courage to attack and kill sect disciples within the sect’s jurisdiction, so Chen had a motive for committing the crime.

After breaking through the Chaoyuan period, he wanted to find an opportunity to investigate what happened that year.

After all, he is not a demon cultivator, and he cannot do things like arresting people and searching their souls based on mere suspicion.

"Yes, the Chen family has two cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and several disciples remain in the sect. Their family was the first to discover that a senior leader had disappeared."

Liu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a low voice:

"Junior brother, are you specifically asking about the Chen family? Do you have any grudges against them?"

This junior brother has always stayed quietly in Chiyan Peak and has not had much contact with his fellow disciples. He couldn't think of any intersection between the two.

"I guess so. Before I chose Scarlet Flame Peak as my cave abode, it was rented by the Chen family.

Chen's disciples also came to me at that time and said they were willing to pay a price for me to give up choosing Chiyan Peak as my cave residence.

I didn't agree, and the matter ended unpleasantly. There were several frictions afterwards.

It is said that Scarlet Flame Peak can provide the Chen family with a considerable amount of income every year. This is probably the reason."

Ji An concealed the fact of the eruption of Red Flame Peak and gave a brief account of the situation.

Liu Yu felt that Chen must have forced his junior brother in the past, otherwise the other party would not still remember it.

"Cut off someone's financial resources, and of course they'll hold grudges. Even if Scarlet Flame Peak was originally part of the sect's territory, these families will choose to forget about it.

I went to Yingri Peak and contacted Senior Brother Li Yuangong through the Law Enforcement Hall, asking him to pay special attention to Chen's situation.

If there is any news, I will inform you immediately."

Ji An bowed and smiled:

"Thank you, senior brother."

"Easy to do."

Liu Yu waved his hand and said:
"I want to know something. How long did it take you to open up the Wood Element Divine Mansion?"

He would use this as a basis to estimate the time it would take him to open up the Fire Palace.

"About three months."

Liu Yu nodded slightly and said:
"I can only receive three Vermillion Bird Flame Grass Pills from the sect every three years. Even with the two extra pills I exchanged for, the shortage of pills is still huge.

I need my junior brother to support me with some second-level medium-grade fire-type spiritual fruits. I also have three monster inner cores, six animal skins and some monster blood essence, all of which are materials for the late stage of foundation building.

There are also two three-foot square Chaoyuan-stage monster hides, a few bottles of blood essence, and some fire-type monster fur that can be made into talisman pens. These materials can be brought out and exchanged with Junior Brother."

It takes time to grow high-level spiritual medicines. The spiritual farmers in the sect are not very strong, and the amount of elixirs they can supply is limited.

He heard from Senior Brother Jia Yu that most of the extra elixirs were traded from Luofeng Valley.

Ji An readily agreed and said:

"Okay, how about we use the exchange rate from the Treasure Pavilion as a basis?
After the deal is done, I will give you two more spiritual fruits as a gift."

After breaking through the Chaoyuan period, he began to stockpile mid-grade fire-element spiritual fruits. The secret vault in his cave house contained as many as four hundred spiritual peaches and eight hundred spiritual apricots.

In the future, new medium-grade spiritual plants will be cultivated continuously, so it’s okay to exchange some with the other party.

"Thank you, Junior Brother, for helping me a lot."

Liu Yu smiled. Without the other party's help, he could only accumulate resources and wait for the arrival of the trading flying boat of the Central Continent cultivators.

He took out animal skins and other resources and placed them on the table.

Ji An took out the exchange jade slip from the Treasure Pavilion and placed it on his forehead, assessing the value of the supplies:

"A Chaoyuan beast hide, in good condition, can be cut into forty talismans, and exchanged for four thousand small merits."

"The Chaoyuan beast hide has some damage, and can be cut into 30 talismans, which can be exchanged for 3,000 small merits.
All the materials can be exchanged for a total of 9,600 small merits."

He handed over the jade slip and said, "Brother, check it and see if there is anything missing."

Liu Yu didn't hesitate and picked up the jade slip to check it again:
"no problem."

Ji An scratched his head and said:

"I will give the spiritual fruit to my senior brother over three years."

He had never noticed before that Chaoyuan period animal skins were so expensive. If he exchanged all the spiritual fruits with the other party, he would not have enough for his own use.

"Of course, I got the upper hand.

Except for Scarlet Flame Peak, no other place can satisfy my requirements."

"Brother, I understand. Each medium-grade spiritual peach is worth 25 small gong, and each medium-grade spiritual apricot is worth 5 small gong. Calculating the ratio in half, I need to give you a total of 320 of each."

Ji An walked to the window, estimated the position of the sun, and said:
"We can leave in half an hour. Then we will go back to Scarlet Flame Peak and hand over the first batch of spiritual fruits to Senior Brother."

Liu Yu's smile became even gentler, and he said:

"So good."

The two of them ate and talked, and before they knew it, the light dimmed.

Liu Yu stepped out of the teleportation array and sighed:

"The sect really values ​​me, Junior Brother. After building the teleportation array, it's really convenient."

Ji An pinched his fingers to open the forbidden magic circle and said with a smile:

"It's only suitable for cultivators like me who spend most of the time in the sect and rarely go out. Brother, please!" He lives a life of going to and from school every day and stays at home completely.

The main reason is that he can satisfy his cultivation needs by staying quietly and planting, and he does not need to go out to look for opportunities.

After welcoming the guests into the living room, Ji An said:
"Brother, please wait a moment. I will go to the cave to get the spiritual fruit."

He walked out of the room and ordered:
"Song Tao, tell Cuihua to prepare dinner tonight. My brother and I want to have a few drinks. Let's have some bamboo wine."

Liu Yu has not yet opened up his divine palace, so he cannot practice fasting and still needs to eat meals.

"I understand," Wei Songtao trotted away.

Ji An rode a cloud to the cave, took out enough spiritual fruits and returned to the living room.

He placed the storage bag on the table and pushed it in front of Liu Yu, saying:
"122 each of the second-grade mid-grade Spiritual Peaches and Spiritual Apricots. Senior Brother, please give me a tick. I will pay you 100 each year for the next two years."

Shortly after the transaction was completed, Wei Songtao brought out the prepared cold dishes and spirit wine.

The two drank together and reminisced about the past. The watery moonlight filtered through the window lattice and blended with the brilliance of the night pearl.

The water in the wine glass was shimmering, and contained half a bright moon.

After both the host and the guests had a great time, Liu Yu left on the fiery golden wheel.

When Ji An returned to the cave, it was almost midnight. He went to the quiet room and sat cross-legged, practicing his internal energy to refine the spiritual food.

Spiritual energy flows through the immortal veins, the wood element divine palace is as crystal clear as emerald jade, and traces of spiritual liquid flow into the fire element divine palace, and the heart emits a bright light like a furnace fire.

With the support of the Mu Mansion, the speed of improving cultivation will become faster, Ji An felt deeply.

After all the spiritual energy in the food and wine was refined, he took out another Vermillion Bird Flame Grass Pill.

Night is not suitable for practicing the Fire Palace chapter of the Five Elements Rotation Sutra, but it is a different story with the help of elixirs.

The golden veins of the Fire Palace changed from bright to dark, then gradually bright again, repeating this cycle over and over again.

The fire energy in the elixir was quickly extracted, and the core of the divine palace and the heart kept beating at the same frequency, growing stronger.

In the acupoint, two fire seeds shine brightly.

A month passed.

Du Huaiyuan was driving the shuttle at full speed. His hair was a mess like a bird's coop, and he had dark circles under his eyes, but his face was flushed with excitement.

Her eyes are bright and shining, like stars in the sky.

The mountain covered in golden-red mist was right in front of him. He slowed down a little and saw the golden sword of communication moving nimbly like a swimming fish and entering the Red Flame Peak.

The shuttle followed closely behind. Du Huaiyuan looked down at the spiritual plants gleaming in the sun and sighed:
"Every time I come here, I have a different feeling. In a few years, I'll be able to brew second-grade, mid-quality spiritual peach wine!"

He now realized how big the gap between cultivators could be. Junior Brother Ji alone could support an entire Chaoyuan-level family.

Ji An, who was practicing, felt the approach of the golden sword of communication, slowly stopped practicing and checked the information in it.

The golden sword came from Liu Yu, who said that after the sect dug three feet deep into the ground, they found the reason why those families fled.

It turned out that these families had all kidnapped independent cultivators. Judging from the burnt remains that were dug out, there were obvious signs of bestiality.

Similar discoveries were made not only in the Jinling Sect, but also in the jurisdictions of the other two sects.

The leaders of the three sects speculated that these families were unknowingly controlled by the demon cultivators. From the results to the process of deduction, many things can be explained logically.

In addition, the reason why the evil cultivation techniques could not be stopped despite repeated bans was also found. It was all caused by these evil cultivators.

The leaders of each sect will personally go out to inspect other family forces. If everything goes well, the problems of demon cultivators and devil cultivators can be basically solved, and the human race will be stabilized.

"That's a good thing."

Ji An whispered that once the internal situation is stable, the external threat of demonic disasters will not be so scary.

The monsters also suffered heavy losses, and it would be impossible for them to cause a major disaster within a few decades unless the monster kings were willing to personally take action and cause trouble.

However, in view of the warning sound of the death of the ninth-level Jindan demon cultivator before, the demon kings also have to think twice.

A light blue flame shot out from his hand, and the golden sword of communication was burned in an instant.

Ji An was about to continue practicing when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the landing shuttle and the people on it. Seeing the guests coming, he stood up and flew towards the cold pond on a cloud.

After seeing Du Huaiyuan's image, he smiled brightly and said with a folded hand:
"It seems that Senior Brother must have brought good news."

"Haha, Junior Brother, you're very accurate!"

Du Huaiyuan took out two jars of spirit wine as if presenting a treasure, and said proudly:
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. The second-grade medium-grade spiritual wine has been brewed. I took a few sips and felt that the spiritual energy was extremely rich, which can quickly restore my magic power.

I don't know if it's useful for Chaoyuan-stage cultivators, please verify it."

Some mysteries cannot be felt by cultivators who have not opened up a divine palace. This is why craftsmen such as alchemists and winemakers need a certain level of cultivation.

"Senior Brother must be the best among the sect's winemakers!"

At this time, Zhang Cuihua had already taken out the wine glass and filled it. When Ji An raised his glass to drink, he was stopped.

Du Huaiyuan scratched his hair and said a little embarrassedly:
"Although I have tried my best to improve the taste, the taste of the spirit wine is still not satisfactory. Junior brother, you must be mentally prepared."

The Biluo fruit has a strange smell, which human monks do not like, and it has always been used as food for monsters.

Ji An nodded slightly, staring at the swaying green spirit wine in the cup, and took a small sip.

The wine was quite bitter and astringent, which reminded him of the Chinese medicine he had to drink by pinching his nose in his previous life.

After the wine went down his throat, he sat down cross-legged and practiced the Five Elements Rotation Sutra in the Wood Palace Chapter. The veins in his liver glowed slightly, and he refined it in the blink of an eye.

Ji An suddenly opened his eyes, used his object control technique to grab the wine jar, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, as if he was drinking sweet spring water instead of bitter wine.

When Du Huaiyuan saw his actions, he was even more delighted, as this showed that wine also had a good effect on Chaoyuan-stage cultivators.

After refining a jar of spirit wine, Ji An laughed and said:

"Brother, the spirit wine is very successful and the effect is very good!"

Ever since he heard that Han Yan encountered obstacles in his research on the elixir formula, he no longer had any hope for Du Huaiyuan's success.

Things are always full of twists and turns. The less you expect, the more surprises you will get.

The function of the spiritual wine in restoring mana was secondary. He noticed that it actually contained wood energy!
The wood energy contained in a jar of spiritual wine is approximately equivalent to one hundred and thirty or forty strands of food energy.

Ji An bared his teeth, his eyes slightly bitter.
"If you had developed this kind of spiritual wine ten years earlier, my cultivation would have improved even faster!"

Master always praised him for his good fortune, and he must have never expected this situation today.

His Wood Element Divine Palace has been completed, and he no longer has much need for this kind of spiritual wine. Its greatest use is only as a pill to quickly replenish mana.

It is equivalent to making a wedding dress for others in the sect. Those fellow disciples who are still in the stage of strengthening the Mu Mansion are blessed.

Du Huaiyuan smiled cheerfully, and hurriedly patted his chest and said:
"Junior brother, you must speak with conscience!

How many years have you been asking me to brew spirit wine with the biluo fruit? Less than eight years!

Wouldn't it be better if you entrusted me with it twenty years in advance?"

Ji An couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was fate. Twenty years ago, there were no second-grade, mid-grade Biluo trees in Chiyan Peak! He could only say that it was not his destiny.
