Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 346 Feng Ming
The next day at chen time.

Three rays of light cut through the silent sky and landed beside the cold pond on the Red Flame Peak.

Ji An went up to him and said, "

"Please, three senior brothers, come here."

The ancestor told him yesterday that he would arrange to upgrade the spiritual vein grade today and asked him to wait in the Taoist temple.

"It's all for the prosperity of the sect, so why bother with me?"

Zhang Zizhao responded with a smile and said:

"The ancestor specifically instructed us to come up with a plan quickly. Junior brother, let's re-survey the earth veins together."

"I'll follow my brother's instructions."

Jia Yu waved his hand and said:
"You guys are busy, I'll wait here."

Ji An immediately understood what the other party meant and said:
"Song Tao, take Master Jia to the living room and have some good wine."

After giving the instructions, he and Zhang Zizhao and others explored the various nodes of the spiritual vein together.

At the hour of You, Chu Huaige recorded the designed plan into the jade slip and handed it over, saying with a smile:

"The main spiritual vein of Scarlet Flame Peak runs almost vertically, with the large nodes spread out in an umbrella shape.

This structure makes it easier to upgrade the spiritual vein's grade, and the spiritual items consumed are more than 60% less than I originally estimated.

The amount of spirit stones consumed to support the operation of the magic circle every year is about 40,000 spirit stones.

Even if it exceeds, it will not exceed 5,000 spirit stones."

The sect had upgraded the grade of the main spiritual vein several times and was very experienced in this area.

When entrusting the Central Continent cultivators to help improve their spiritual veins, he assisted and also learned some skills.

The situation at Scarlet Flame Peak is one of the most ideal spiritual veins mentioned by cultivators in Central Continent.

Zhang Zizhao took the jade slip and read it through, then said with a smile:

"The cost is much lower than expected. Perhaps once the Red Flame Peak's spiritual vein is upgraded to the upper grade, the ancestor will directly request further upgrades."

He took out a blank jade slip and copied the magic array plan twice, one of which he gave to Jia Yu:
"Junior brother, you will be in charge of preparing the second-level materials. I will withdraw the rest from the Labor Hall."

Jia Yu placed the jade slip against his forehead and read it carefully:
“The materials can be delivered here tomorrow.”

They are all common magic array materials and spiritual objects, and the storage in the treasure pavilion is relatively sufficient.

Zhang Zizhao nodded slightly:
"The Qinong Hall can also deliver the other materials tomorrow. Junior Brother Chu, please come again."

"It's your job."

"Junior brother, how long do you estimate it will take to complete?"

Chu Huaige thought for a moment and said, "One month is enough."

After discussing things, the three of them did not stay long and said goodbye and left together.

Ji An took out a storage bag and handed it to Chu Huaige, saying:
"Brother, these are the Bodhi fruits that the Bodhi tree produced this year and the roasted Bodhi tea."

Ever since Bodhi Tree was promoted to the second level, he has been sending the promised share to the other party every year.

Two months later, in the cave of Chitong Mountain.

In the Sanyang Lihuo furnace, the surging earth fire gathers and disperses from time to time.

When they gather together, they are like blooming flowers; when they disperse, they are like a rain of fire from the sky.

A small red flag fluttered up and down in the flames, like a fire elf.

The pattern on the flag is a golden phoenix, and there seems to be a faint hissing sound coming from it.

Ji An frowned slightly, wondering if this was an illusion.

Zhu Xiangrong continued to insert magical restrictions into the small flag. With each additional magical restriction, the flag became brighter.

"Junior brother, get ready. After I cast the final spell, I will take the Flame Flag out of the furnace for a few moments.

You have to force out enough blood and spray it on the spiritual weapon.

Don't stop until I say stop!"

"clear."

Ji An was slightly nervous, staring intently at the spiritual weapon playing in the flames.

Half a minute later, Zhu Xiangrong shouted:
"Prepare!"

He pinched his fingers and the lid of the Sanyang Lihuo Furnace spun and flew up, hovering above the spirit furnace.

The flaming flag leaped out of the furnace like a dragon emerging from the sea, and stopped in front of Ji An, trembling constantly.

"Hurry!" Zhu Xiangrong urged.

The fingertips of Ji An's left hand flashed with golden light, condensing into a small knife, and fiercely cut a gash on his right wrist.

He mobilized the power of qi and blood, just like turning on a high-pressure water faucet, and blood sprayed onto the flag.

The plasma was like particles of lead and mercury, scattered on the flag, like a drop of water on a lotus leaf.

One breath, two breaths, Ji An felt that time was so long.

The blood gushed out at an extremely fast speed. In a short period of time, he lost as much as seven or eight hundred milliliters of blood.

Senior Brother Zhu didn't call for a stop, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to stimulate his qi and blood.

After another breath, the roaring sounded like a phoenix roaring in the sky, piercing through the clouds and splitting the rocks, containing endless publicity and arrogance.

"Enough, enough!"

Zhu Xiangrong shouted in surprise. The Flame Flag made the sound only when it was full of spirituality. He did not expect that the first top-grade spiritual weapon he refined could have such a function.

Ji An hurriedly activated the body-refining technique, contracting his muscles to better heal the wound.

Then he used the rejuvenation technique, and a green light was applied to the wound, and the shadow of emerald green grass grew rapidly.

At the same time, the wound quickly healed, scabped and fell off, leaving no trace of scar on the smooth skin.

After all, it's just an external injury. Using rejuvenation techniques at the great perfection level would be a waste of talent.

Zhu Xiangrong hurriedly made a hand gesture and put the spiritual weapon back into the Sanyang Lihuo furnace. He silently increased the earth fire and carved the blood into the pattern of a phoenix.

A magical scene occurred. The moment the red phoenix and the golden phoenix overlapped, the pattern woven with blood quickly merged into the flag. But the phoenix remained golden, without any change.

Another roar sounded, and Ji An's heart was shocked.

The sound came from his sea of ​​consciousness, and there was no unusual sound from the outside world.

He looked at the spiritual weapon tumbling in the fire and felt a sense of blood connection.

"Haha, it's done!"

Zhu Xiangrong laughed heartily. Today's refining of the top-grade spiritual weapon was very successful, and he gained a lot of refining experience.

His position as the sect's number one weapon refiner was further consolidated.

"Junior brother, I've got it!"

He pinched his fingers again to open the Sanyang Li Fire Furnace, and the flag flew towards Ji An, getting smaller and smaller.

Ji An opened his hands, and the flaming flag, which had become the size of a child's palm, fell into his palm.

It feels warm to the touch and has a special heart-warming feeling.

With a thought in his mind, the spiritual weapon shrank again, like a drop of water falling into a lake, and merged into his skin.

The spiritual weapon was like an old horse returning home, traveling quickly through the immortal veins in his body.

In the blink of an eye, it entered the dantian.

The roar of joy and excitement rang out again in Ji An's sea of ​​consciousness.

The flaming flag lifted off the ground and turned into a cloud of fire, like a bird returning to its nest, throwing itself into the fire of Yuanming, or like a moth flying towards the fire.

In the Dantian, the red light is bright and the light and shadow are swaying.

Zhu Xiangrong smiled and said:
“Junior brother, a top-grade spiritual weapon is normally nourished by the Yuanming Fire in the Dantian, but it also needs a large amount of fire essence to nourish its spirituality.

Try your best to satisfy its daily need to devour two thousand strands of essence until it gives birth to a weapon spirit."

The birth of an instrument spirit is a very slow process, taking thirty to fifty years at the fastest, or hundreds of years at the slowest.

Ji An bowed solemnly:
"Thank you, senior brother."

"You're welcome. Although you are sincere, the refining fee cannot be reduced at all!"

Ji An was amused and said:

“Not only will I give you less, I will give you more!
Senior Brother, we have cultivated a second-grade, top-grade Black Leaf Sword Bamboo in Scarlet Flame Peak. I will give you some top-grade gold leaves as a reward in the future."

"So good!"

What weapon refiner would be dissatisfied with having too many high-level materials? I wish Xiangrong a happier mood.

He pondered:

"The exchange rate at the Treasure Pavilion is 200 small gong per catty of medium-quality sword bamboo leaves, and 1,200 small gong per catty of high-quality leaves.

Let's calculate according to this standard. Do you think it's feasible?"

"Very fair, let's do as you say, Senior Brother."

Ji An agreed that the prices of materials in the Treasure Pavilion would be the standard for private transactions among disciples.

He took out the gold leaf from his storage bag and said:

“The top-grade sword bamboo has just completed its transformation, and it will take a few months to obtain its leaves.

This is ten kilograms of medium-grade sword bamboo gold leaves. I will give you part of the reward first."

Zhu Xiangrong weighed it and said:
"Ten kilograms of gold leaf cost two thousand small gong. Junior brother still needs to pay another eight thousand small gong for supplies."

"I'll pay it off over five years."

Ji An said that in fact, under extreme conditions, he would be able to obtain enough sword bamboo golden leaves in less than two years.

However, he was the one who supplied one third of the sword bamboo gold leaves consumed by the entire sect. If he used all of them to pay off his debts, it would affect the use of the leaves by other fellow disciples.

"no problem."

The two chatted for a while, and Zhu Xiangrong asked:

"Junior brother, are you still planning to refine the Wuji Xinghuang Flag?"

He benefited a lot from refining the Flame Flag. Currently, he is the only one who plans to refine a top-grade spiritual weapon.

"Of course I have to refine it. I have already exchanged for all the materials that can be exchanged from the Treasure Pavilion.

At present, the only thing missing is the golden spider silk and the Wu Ji Qi. I have already cultivated a top-grade earth spirit fruit tree. Yan Zu asked for fifty top-grade spirit fruits and then he would give me some blood.

Only the Wu and Ji Qi remains unsettled. Can you find a fellow disciple willing to help?"

The low-grade apricot yellow flag could no longer satisfy Ji An's growing needs. If he left the sect to travel, the enemies who could pose a threat to him would be those at the Chao Yuan period level.

Zhu Xiangrong shook his head and said:
“I’ve inquired and found out that there are only four cultivators who have opened up the Earthly Divine Mansion.

Senior Brother Lin Qiubai and his disciple Li Haoran are already traveling, and the other two don't have time either."

Ji An grinned, "Looks like I have to do it myself."

Returning to Scarlet Flame Peak, Ji An called his disciples and instructed:

"Song Tao, you will spread the news tomorrow that Chiyan Peak has been purchasing large quantities of Fire Essence for a long time.

Also, go to the General Affairs Hall and ask if you can exchange it for Fire Essence."

"Grandmaster, should we pay the other cultivators with spirit stones or something else?"

"Both spiritual stones and spiritual objects are acceptable. As long as they are available on Scarlet Flame Peak, you can take them out. You just need to record every transaction."

Wei Songtao bowed his head and agreed:

"Disciple understands."

Ji An summoned the Flame Flag from the Ground, chanted a spell, and injected magic power into it.

He immediately felt the spiritual energy in his body pouring into the spiritual weapon like a river bursting its banks. When 60% of the spiritual energy was consumed, the powerful suction force in the spiritual weapon gradually disappeared.

The phoenix pattern on the flag sparkles with golden light, and looks extremely lively, like a living creature.
