Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 355 Up and Down Attack
"You should be content. When I opened up the Earthly Divine Mansion, the most I ever got was three extra Earthly Soul-Calming Pills."

Jia Yu shook his head and sighed, then explained:
“The main ingredient of the Earthly Soul-Calming Pill draws more spiritual energy from the earth’s veins, so it’s expensive.

When my junior brother opens up the Water God Mansion, the Heavenly Water Soul Cleansing Pills he will need will be quite expensive, costing 1,200 small gong each."

The water veins in Xizhou are not prosperous, and water-based spiritual plants are relatively rare, so the price of Tianshui Cleansing Soul Pill is also relatively expensive.

"It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive, I want them all."

Ji An took out the jade token. He knew very well that the sect must have paid a huge price in order to trade for the elixir.

Besides, he spent a lot of effort to eat earth and circulate qi, and at the end of the day, the average amount of qi he ate was less than six strands.

Without the support of elixirs, it would seriously delay his efforts to strengthen the core of the Earth God Palace.

He frowned unconsciously. The variety of earth-type spiritual medicines was far less than that of wood, fire and water-type spiritual medicines, and there were even fewer gold-type spiritual plants.

There are elixirs available to strengthen the Earth God Palace, but to open up the Gold Palace, the relevant elixirs cannot be purchased in Xizhou at all.

It is expected that strengthening these two divine palaces will take up a lot of his time.

Jia Yu manipulated the spirit plate for a while, then returned the jade tablet and said:
"After deducting the small merits from the nine pills, Junior Brother still has 294,000 small merits left. He is still so rich!"

Ji An chuckled and put away the jade token and pills:
"Brother, the sect doesn't have any elixirs that can strengthen the Jin Mansion. When the cultivators from Central Continent arrive, will we be able to buy such elixirs?"

"No, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the elixirs that strengthen the Tufu and Jinfu have never been sold in Xizhou by the Central Continent Merchant Alliance."

Jia Yu looked at him seriously. It shouldn't have been such a coincidence.

If Zhenren Zhengyang were here, he would definitely tell you that this was intentional.

The ancestor had traveled around Zhongzhou before and learned that although this type of elixir was relatively precious in Zhongzhou, it was sold in large trade alliances.

Ji An frowned even tighter. Without the help of elixirs, he could only use his own food energy to strengthen his spiritual palace.

From this perspective, Li Haoran only took ten years to complete the Golden Mansion. It has to be said that a genius is a genius.

After a moment of silence, Jia Yu broke the silence and said:
“It’s useless to think too much about these things; thinking too much will only affect your mood.

Our cultivation is essentially about going upstream, and overcoming numerous difficulties and dangers is also part of the cultivation process."

Ji An nodded:

"Brother, you are absolutely right. When the merchant ship from Zhongzhou arrives, I would like to ask you to exchange my small merit for the Tianshui Soul-Cleansing Pill.

If I had enough medicine, I wouldn't need to go out and eat Qi."

It would also be good to stock up on more water-based elixirs, which could also save time.

"No problem, I can agree to this request, but..."

Jia Yu changed the subject and continued:

“Traveling is still very necessary. The process of traveling is also a process of sharpening one’s mind and comprehending the divine will of the Five Elements.

Without observing the surging waves of the great rivers, how can one comprehend the might of Ren water?

"The five elements are interdependent and ever-lasting. It is not easy to fully comprehend them!
The elixir speeds up our accumulation, but only strengthens the core of the divine palace and cannot help us comprehend the way of the five elements.

The ancestor once said that if you don’t make up for the lessons you’ve missed, it would be a foolish dream to break through to the Golden Core stage.”

In the world of immortal cultivation, before a cultivator breaks through to the golden elixir stage, he must travel outside and truly comprehend the mysteries of the five elements before he can have a chance of successful breakthrough.

It is impossible to achieve the golden elixir by relying solely on the benefits of elixirs. Otherwise, in a continent as rich in resources as Central China, golden elixirs would have been everywhere.

Ji An didn't take it seriously and said with a smile:
"Brother, I'm a spiritual farmer. The higher my realm, the safer it is to travel."

If the rules did not forbid eating earth and practicing Qigong within the sect, he would definitely not go out.

Why go out when you can improve your cultivation safely!

But if he has to go out, he will act boldly.

The two chatted for a while, and then Ji An changed the subject and said:
"I would like to ask my senior brother for a favor to verify something."

He described the incident in detail, and the master felt uncomfortable when he heard the screaming sound of the phoenix on the Flame Flag.

"Is there such a thing? Junior brother, you can give it a try."

Jia Yu readily agreed. He had never felt the power of a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Others can hear the cry of the phoenix on the flaming flag, which shows that the spiritual weapon is very spiritual.

He closed his eyes and waited quietly for the spiritual weapon to make a sound.

The flaming flag flew out from Ji Jian's dantian, a ball of fire cloud wrapped around his body, and the cry of a phoenix was heard.

After a few breaths, Jia Yu opened his eyes and said excitedly:

"Junior brother, I also felt my emotions inexplicably becoming manic, but it only lasted for a moment before being suppressed immediately.

I guess it’s because my cultivation level is high enough that I can quickly suppress the discomfort.

Also, the sound just now didn't sound like an ordinary sound. Can you activate your spiritual weapon to make such a sound again?"

He felt that the sound had a direct effect on his soul. If the spiritual weapon could continuously produce such sounds, it meant that the potential of the Lidi Flame Flag had been underestimated by his fellow disciples.

Ji An activated the spiritual weapon, and flames swirled in the fire cloud, but no similar sound was made.

He scratched his head and said:
"There must be some kind of restriction. Only similar sounds can be made within a certain period of time."

Jia Yu nodded slightly, "That's right, it must be a special attack skill."

It is normal for top-grade spiritual weapons to possess special and unconventional means.

In the evening, Ji An returned to Ningcui Cliff and cast spells for the various medicinal gardens. After a month without his care, the spiritual plants were somewhat withered.

After doing all this, he bid farewell to his master and took the teleportation array back to Chiyan Peak.

After consuming a few strands of wood energy and refining it into magic power, Ji An returned to the cave and began to practice magic.

The Earth Escape Technique, the Pure Gold Mysterious Armor Curse and the Geng Gold Soul-Slaying Sword are his main focus. After these spells are upgraded to the Great Perfection level, he will begin to practice the Fire Dragon Burning Heaven Technique and the Xuanming True Qi, and finally practice the other Five Elements Escape Techniques.

He possesses two mid-grade fire seeds and water seeds, so the speed at which he can practice the Fire Dragon Burning Heaven Art and the Mysterious Nether Qi should be relatively fast.

When his magic power was almost exhausted, Ji An returned to the cave, brewed a cup of Jade Dew and Golden Bud Tea and drank it, then swallowed a Diyuan Soul-Calming Pill and began to practice the Five Elements Rotation Sutra to refine it.

The spleen glowed with a yellow light, which seemed a little dim against the backdrop of the Wood Palace and the Fire Palace.

A sense of peace emerged in his heart, and the spiritual energy was quickly refined into magic power. The stone turtle and the Yuanming Fire were ushered in a feast.

A month passed in peace and tranquility, and Ji An left the sect again.

After such a long period of gestation, a batch of earth energy should be harvested from the mountains in the outer area of ​​the sect.

The Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag requires three pounds and six ounces of spiritual silk, but he only has one ounce. It is roughly estimated that it will take six or seven years to collect enough.

Ji An felt that time was too long, but there was nothing he could do.

He asked other fellow disciples, and found out that most of the Chaoyuan stage cultivators had never even practiced any of the various soul-gathering techniques.

These people are unable to restrain the Wu Earth Qi and the Ji Earth Qi, which may be the reason why they are unwilling to choose to refine the Li Di Yan Guang Flag and the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag.

Both of these top-grade spiritual weapons require the five elements to be gathered and transformed into spiritual threads. If the Spirit Tempering Technique is not efficient, it would be a waste of time.

Ji An took all kinds of supplies, put Jinmao and Dahuang into the spirit beast bag, and left on the golden-winged eagle.

His first stop was still Condor Cliff.

While riding on the beast, Ji An took the time to practice magic and try to figure out the will of God.

After practicing various spells to the level of great perfection, he also needs to improve his ability to make talismans and refine pills.

There are always various things pushing him forward.

The crest on the golden eagle's head stood up, and the strong wind automatically bypassed this cluster of upright feathers.

As a wind-type monster, the ability to control the wind is its instinct.

The magic power in his body dropped by half, Ji An stopped practicing spells and began to close his eyes to rest.

As the sun sets, the golden eagle lets out a clear cry, signaling the arrival of the Divine Eagle Mountain.

Ji An opened his eyes and glanced at the surrounding situation. He didn't find anything wrong, so he commanded the beast to start landing.

After landing on the top of the mountain, he pointed to the sky and waved his hand:
"If any suspicious creatures approach, notify me immediately."

The golden eagle let out a clear cry and circled above the mountain.

Ji An released the Mixed Gold Mysterious Armor Curse and the Rock Sutra, and then took out the Apricot Yellow Flag and injected magic power into it, and thousands of golden lotuses wrapped him.

It is always better to be safe than sorry. When he was in the wild, he was always cautious.

After preparing the defensive measures, he began to practice the Five Directions Spirit Gathering Technique to absorb the Earth Energy.

In the dense forest on a peak somewhere in Shenying Cliff, Xiong Ba suddenly stood up and said:

"After guarding for more than half a month, we finally found our target. Black Hawk, it's time to get to work!"

Ever since the death of Lord Qinglong, he and Black Hawk began to be ostracized in the Heavenly Demon Alliance.

The current leader of the alliance is Chen Sheng. The first few demon cultivators who followed Qinglong have been ostracized and received much less resources.

However, the good thing is that the hunting list set up by the Heavenly Demon Alliance has not been revoked, and a large amount of resources can still be obtained by killing human cultivators on the list.

There is a small stronghold of the Heavenly Demon Alliance near the Divine Eagle Cliff, which is under the jurisdiction of Xiong Ba.

A month ago, the subordinates stationed here reported back to the headquarters that the monks on the hunting list had appeared.

After Xiong Ba learned the news, he immediately found Black Hawk. The two hit it off and decided to make a deal.

After comparison, they found that the cultivator who appeared was Ji An from the Jinling Sect.

Intelligence shows that this monk was originally just a spiritual farmer.

Although I don’t know what kind of circumstances enabled the other party to break through to the Chaoyuan period, he must die today.

"Hehe, I can finally take action. I really miss the feeling of being a cultivator in the Chaoyuan period of the human race."

Black Hawk laughed like a night owl. His patience had been wearing thin these days.

"We can't eat the enemy's head. We rely on it as evidence!"

Xiong Ba laughed sinisterly, and yellow clouds rose from under his feet.

He refined the essence and blood of earth-based monsters, which could release yellow monster clouds.

The Black Hawk leaped lightly and transformed into a giant black eagle, soaring into the sky:
"Attack from above and below."

Xiong Ba flew his cloud close to the mountain where Ji An was standing, and the golden-winged eagle immediately screamed in warning.

Ji An noticed the person coming and became alert.

When two stranger monks meet in the wild, if they have no ill will towards each other, they will definitely leave after seeing each other from a distance.
