Chapter 353 January Harvest

Ji An released Da Huang and Jin Mao, and then emitted the spiritual pressure of a Chao Yuan period cultivator. Immediately, a stone lizard, a scorpion, a centipede and other monsters emerged from the nearby crevices.

They were only at the initial stage of Qi Refining, so he didn't care and let the monsters escape in all directions.

Da Huang had no intention of letting them go. He suddenly pounced on the stone lizard, held it down, and bit off the prey's head in one bite.

The stone lizard is an earth-dwelling monster. It has been eating fire-toothed rabbits and red-tailed squirrels on the Red Flame Peak for many years. It has long been tired of them and it is a good time to change its taste.

The golden retriever caught a two-foot-long ochre-colored snake and swallowed it whole like a spicy snack.

The two beasts were releasing their wildness to the fullest, only the golden-winged eagle remained indifferent. Normally, its range of activities was much larger than the two land-based monsters, and it was not interested in these prey in the Qi Refining Stage.

It looked down proudly at Da Huang and Golden Retriever who were eating happily, and combed its feathers with its sharp beak.

Ji An looked at the terrain and shouted:

"Stay alert nearby. Alert me if any creature approaches."

"Ow!"

Dahuang opened his bloody mouth and roared, indicating that he had received the message.

It quickly swallowed the tender part of its prey and ran towards a large protruding rock on all fours.

The golden-winged eagle let out a clear cry, soared into the air and circled in the sky. The golden-haired eagle released the earth-walking technique and disappeared, and no one knew where it hid.

Ji An came to the stream and squatted down, only to see that the water was clear and transparent.

He stretched out his fingers, and emerald green tentacles spread out and fell into the water. This was a simple application of the Wood Element Divine Palace, which could detect the toxicity of substances.

The tentacles retracted into his body and he nodded slightly, saying that the stream water was non-toxic.

He sent out his spiritual sense to probe into the earth, and was a little surprised to find that there was a micro spiritual vein node here. The spiritual energy contained was quite abundant, reaching the first-level mid-grade.

It is very rare in these wild mountains and wilderness.

Ji An took out a wind furnace and a kettle, filled them with spiritual spring water, took out the spiritual charcoal and lit it. The mountain breeze blew by, and it was quite comfortable.

He then took out a copper tripod as big as a bucket, dug a simple stove in the ground, peeled and removed the snake meat, and boiled half a pot of it.

He took out the tea set from the storage bag and arranged it. He sat cross-legged on the futon and finally had time to count his harvest.

A snake gall as big as a fist. This thing can improve eyesight and benefit the liver. It is produced by a monster beast in the late stage of foundation building and can be used as medicine. It should have some effect on him.

Ji An cut a small hole in the snake's gallbladder, revealing the green bile, which had a slightly fishy smell and a very faint medicinal fragrance.

He put his finger into the bile and began to practice the Five Elements Rotation Sutra in the Wood Palace Chapter.

As the technique was practiced, his liver flashed with emerald green, the light of the Yimu Dao seed in the acupoints was emitted, and a continuous feeling of coolness came from his eyes.

After a while, the snake bile turned colorless. Ji An changed his spell and the light blue flame burned the snake bile to ashes.

I blinked, and the world seemed a little different, but also seemed not to be.

He shook his head. Even if the snake gall had some magical properties, the gall of a snake in the late foundation-building stage would not bring much effect. If it were a snake gall at the Chaoyuan stage, it would be about the same.

The tea has boiled. Ji An brewed Yu Lu Jin Ya tea and threw a bag of stew ingredients into the copper tripod. This was the soup prepared by Zhang Cuihua, which was most suitable for clear soup.

He took out a cushion, took it apart, and studied the weaving method. By the time the aroma of meat wafted out of the bronze tripod, he had basically figured out how to weave it.

After completely disassembling the futon, he actually wove it by hand, consciously learning the craft.

You don't need to know how to make complicated patterns, and you can still weave a new futon of ordinary style.

Ji An used his object control technique to move the bronze tripod in front of him. He took out the spiritual fruits and dried meat, drank spiritual tea, and enjoyed the delicious snake soup.

If it is not urgent, he still refuses to take the fasting pill.

The golden retriever poked its head out from the dirt and rocks near him with a flattering look on its face. It was attracted by the fragrance.

Ji An picked out a few pieces of snake meat and threw them into the air. The golden-haired snake jumped up and swallowed them, shaking its head constantly. It smelled good, but without the bloody pleasure.

After dinner, Ji An's consumed spiritual power was restored by nearly half.

Due to the continuous improvement of the strength of the soul, the effect of the second-level low-grade spiritual tea continued to decrease. Now that I have the second-level medium-grade Jade Dew Golden Bud, the situation is much better.

He took out the remaining snake meat from the storage bag. Golden Hair and Golden-winged Eagle ate it with great relish, but Da Huang was not interested. He took a bite and threw it away.

Ji An divided the demon snake's inner elixir into three parts and threw them to the beastmasters.

The three beast masters were all excited. Refining the inner elixir could quickly increase demonic power, especially refining the inner elixir of demon beasts with higher cultivation than theirs, which would bring them greater benefits.

While they were refining the demon pill, Ji An pulled out the collected Wu Earth Qi and Ji Earth Qi from the jade bottle. After the yin and yang were combined, the tangible and intangible earth spiritual energy turned into a strand of yellow silk thread.

The silk threads sparkle with a warm glow, giving people a faint sense of tranquility.

Ji An synthesized all the earth-based spiritual energy into silk threads and put them away. He then took out the harvested soul-soothing grass and released the Fire Curse to evaporate the moisture in the spiritual grass.

The setting sun slowly descended, and the lonely cries of returning wild geese were heard in the distance. The surroundings gradually became quiet. When the last ray of light disappeared, the night immediately became darker.

The stars in the sky are like tiny gems, inlaid in the black curtain, and the sea of ​​stars is dazzling.

The beasts, which had been noisy all day, returned to their lairs, and the killing at night began. In the evening breeze, faint roars and desperate howls were heard, and soon silence returned.

The soul-requiring grass quickly became dry. Ji An lit the charcoal fire and began weaving by the firelight. It didn't take long for him to weave a cushion.

Because the material is not sufficient, the cushion is slightly thin, only half the thickness of a normal cushion used for meditation.

Ji An sat on the new cushion, and soon felt a slight coolness in his sea of ​​consciousness, and his thinking became more agile.

The golden-haired man suddenly roared, and his body swelled up instantly. His demonic power increased suddenly, reaching the fifth level of foundation building.

"it is good!"

Ji An praised that this demon beast that had been with him for the longest time had finally made further progress in its cultivation.

After the beast masters had refined the demon pills one after another, he assigned them night watches, then drank the spiritual tea and used his magic to open up the Water Divine Palace.

In an instant, magic power surged like a tide in the immortal veins, continuously attacking the kidneys.

On the surface of the kidneys, the cloud patterns are erratic and invisible, like a sea of ​​clouds in the mountains rippling with the wind, with a variety of scenes.

With the dual blessing of the soul-soothing grass and spiritual tea, Ji An did not feel tired after practicing for a long time, but the magic power in his body was the first to fail.

He stopped practicing, and his eyes sparkled in the darkness, like the water under the moon.

Ji An was excited. With this black soul-soothing grass cushion, he could open up his divine palace a little faster.

He took out the bamboo tube, lightly tapped his fingers to release the Gengjin Finger, and a hole appeared with a flash of golden light. He drank a small amount of the green leaf wine inside and began to practice qigong to refine it.

The night passed.

Ji An opened his eyes in the morning breeze. The sun had not yet risen and the sky was just beginning to turn pale.

The spiritual energy here was too thin and not suitable for practicing to improve his cultivation, so he began to practice magic.

After releasing the Pure Gold Mysterious Armor Curse, golden patterns appeared on the body surface and slowly seeped into the skin.

He activated the Gengjin Soul-Slaying Sword, and the golden light was like waves, and the sharp and extinct aura was spreading everywhere.

Although it was not attacked head-on, the weeds and mosses in the cracks of the rocks quickly withered and their vitality was completely lost.

They couldn't even withstand the energy emitted by the spell.

The rising sun leaped out of the horizon, its rays radiating everywhere, inspiring everyone to move forward. Ji An stopped practicing his spells and faced the rising sun, "Ha!"

As he exhaled and inhaled, a wisp of the Sun's Bing Fire Qi was swallowed into his stomach. He stopped after taking in two wisps of air. If there was no Ding Fire Qi to match its yin and yang, it would only be wasted.

Ji An took out the jade slip and looked at the map. After determining the next destination, he put Dahuang and Jinmao into the spirit beast bag and flew to the northeast on the golden-winged eagle.

He planned to fly around the sect's periphery, explore all areas that might contain earth energy, and finally return to Chiyan Peak.

Ji An was not idle. Although he could not practice while on the road, he could still practice magic.

He pinched his fingers to perform a spell, and golden light flashed on his body. Then he began to practice the Gengjin Soul-Slaying Sword.

In the area where the Golden Eagle flew over, the golden light flashed and the air was filled with murderous intent. Ordinary birds would be instantly cut into pieces by the remaining magical power.

Even if a strong monster is not cut to death, it will be covered with scars and its vitality will be cut off, at least shortening its lifespan by several months.

A month later, Ji An returned to the sect in the afterglow of the setting sun.

A lot of useless work was done during this field trip, but a more detailed map was drawn, and the locations of various earth elements were marked.

Next time you go out, you can save a lot of time.

He was a little tired. Eating earth and circulating qi made him tired. The spiritual energy stored in various places was not much. Most of his time was wasted on the road. Moreover, the spiritual energy absorbed by the stone turtle this month was very rare.

Although he lost something in one place, he gained something in another. He achieved great results in practicing magic and even refined some spiritual silk.

[Genjin Soul-Slaying Sword (Perfect 89% → 91%)]

[Golden Mysterious Armor Curse (Perfection 54% → 55%)]

The fact that Chaoyuan stage magic could improve so quickly was far beyond Ji An's expectations.

The golden eagle screamed, announcing their return. It landed steadily beside the cold pond. Ji An patted its back:

"Thank you for your hard work."

During this time away from home, I mostly traveled on a golden-winged eagle.

He took out a jade bottle and threw in a soul-feeding pill. The golden-winged eagle raised its head to swallow it, let out a low hiss, and spread its wings to fly towards the nest.

Ji An released Dahuang and Jinmao from the storage bag, gave them each a Soul-Feeding Pill, and sent them away.

This area near the sect has been searched countless times by monks, but no high-level spiritual medicine has been found. Instead, the black soul-soothing grass is his most expensive harvest.

Wei Songtao walked forward quickly and said with a bow:
"Master, welcome back to Scarlet Flame Peak.

Half a month ago, Grandmaster Jia Yu came here and left a message, asking you to visit the Treasure Pavilion when you return."

Ji An nodded slightly and asked:
"Did he tell what it was?"

If the matter is not urgent, he plans to rest for two days before going.

He has been out in the mountains and wilderness this month and has had very little sleep, so he needs to make up for it.

Wei Songtao immediately understood what he meant and said:
"Master Jia only asked you to take something, but he didn't elaborate on what it was."

"That shouldn't be an emergency."

As Ji An spoke, he took out a golden sword for communication, entered the information and fired it out.

As the golden light faded away, he commanded:
"Inform Cuihua to prepare a few exquisite side dishes today, and also two jars of spiritual wine."

Sleeping outside in the open air, he had no taste in his mouth.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Wei Songtao agreed, took out a storage bag, and said:

"Master, this is the Fire Essence we acquired this month, a total of 68,000 strands. All expenditures have been recorded in the account book."

Ji An took the storage bag, looked it over briefly, and nodded.
“Great, keep acquiring.

Also, spread the word and start buying Earth Essence. If the sect can't buy too much, you can tell your brother and ask him to help contact shops outside the sect."

Extracting the essence of earth involves the earth veins, and the sect has strict restrictions.

Not only the sects, but also those immortal cultivation families will restrict their disciples and try not to extract the essence of earth within the family area.

"The disciple understands."

Half an hour later, Ji An drank some wine and began to feast on his food.

As the moon rose above the treetops, he patted his belly contentedly and said with a smile:

"Comfortable!"

He sat down cross-legged to refine the spiritual food, and then began to cast a spell for the spiritual field.

The dragon roared, and its brilliance was brighter than the moon in the sky. Later, he received a reply from Jia Yu and learned that there was no need to rush.

Two hours later, he flew around the Red Flame Peak and stepped into the underground cave at the foot of the mountain.

The soul-nourishing tree swayed in the moonlight, showing its splendor, but Ji An's eyes were attracted by the earth spirit fruit tree next to it.

The Earth Spirit Fruit Tree sprouted egg-shaped buds as big as copper coins, emitting a warm spiritual light that appeared extremely dazzling in this relatively dark environment.

Not only that, a nearby Earth Spirit Fruit tree also began to shed its skin, clearly showing signs of transforming into a second-grade, top-grade fruit!

He stepped forward, extended his spiritual sense to carefully sense the vitality in the spiritual tree, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That’s right, this is the second top-grade Earth Spirit Fruit Tree.

In this way, when the spirit tree bears fruit, he may be able to collect enough fruits for the earth dragon beast at one time, and even if there are a few missing, it won't make much difference.

At that time, you can discuss with the Earth Dragon Beast and obtain blood-soaked golden spider silk in advance.

He used the Canglong Jingzhe technique and the Huanglong Zengyuan technique in turn, and then used the Earth Escape technique to leave the cave.

After returning to the cave, Ji An cast a spell for the Tianyuan ginseng and other spiritual medicines in the medicine garden, and then took out the jade bottle containing the essence of fire and summoned the flaming flag.

The spiritual weapon happily swallowed up the essence. After swallowing more than two thousand strands, it became small again, merged into Ji An's body, entered his dantian, and floated in the red flames of the Yuanming Fire.

Ji An walked out of the cave feeling refreshed, squinting his eyes slightly.

It was almost noon. After adjusting to the strong light, he flew to the cold pond at the foot of the mountain on his cloud and asked:
"Cuihua, how long have I slept?"

He didn't feel like he had only slept for one night.

"To reply to Master, this is the third day since you returned."

Zhang Cuihua paused and continued:
"Master, lunch hasn't started yet. Can I prepare some beef and preserved fruit for you?"

"Just give me a piece of beef."

Ji An said that the beef is braised and can be eaten directly, and you can do something else when you have time.

"Hold on."

Zhang Cuihua ran back to the kitchen and took out a few long pieces of beef. Ji An took them and walked into the living room, eating while trying to draw the fire dragon talisman.

The Chaoyuan beast skins and blood essence he obtained from Liu Yu were all taken from fire-type monsters.
