Chapter 368: Second-level mid-grade longevity peach
Ji An frowned slightly. According to this probability, there would be at most 150 Foundation Establishment cultivators in two years.

He glanced around the hall and saw seven people with white hair. These people would be taken away by time one after another in the next twenty or thirty years.

The Sinong Palace's goal of having 200 spiritual farmers in the Foundation Establishment stage has been delayed than expected.

There are still ten years left before the end of the plan, and there is a big gap in the supply of Foundation Establishment Pills, so we can only find a solution based on the existing situation.

Ji An touched his chin, his eyes deep. After a moment, he had made up his mind. He said in a deep voice:
"Pass the order on, from now on, the top 50 disciples in the monthly assessment will receive additional rewards.

I will give them Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea for them to drink: five cups per month for the first ten, four cups per month for the 20th to 30th, and three cups per month for the rest.”

Nourishing the spiritual consciousness of these foundation-building seeds to become stronger will naturally increase the success rate of foundation-building.

The more capable subordinates he has, the easier it will be for him to be the palace master.

Kong Yunyi was slightly startled. The palace master's tea was a second-grade, mid-quality spiritual tea. These disciples were probably not worthy of it.

The effect of nourishing the soul is too strong, it is a kind of soul toxin.

However, he thought deeply and understood what the Palace Master meant. He could just add more water to dilute it!

No wonder the reward is calculated by the cup. In this way, a small amount of tea can be used by so many disciples.

"Palace Master, the Sinong Palace does not have a collection of Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea. If I were to bestow it upon you, I would have to use your personal belongings.

I think I can use the resources of Sinong Palace or some small merits to exchange for spiritual tea from you, and then give it to my disciples.

This way, when he needs help from other fellow disciples in the future, everyone will be willing to donate generously."

"Palace Master Kong is very thoughtful. I will do as you say."

Ji An immediately understood what the other party meant. He was willing to do things for free, which would hinder others in some ways.

By accepting the other party's suggestion, he suffered no loss, and it was equivalent to handing over the spiritual tea to the treasure pavilion.

He paused and asked again:

“When the main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill are mature, the two Palace Masters will personally go to the Dan Ding Academy and ask the best alchemist to make the move.

Be sure to bring back more Foundation Establishment Pills. I will also mention this to Senior Sister Han Yan."

If the alchemist is capable enough, he can make pills of better quality and in larger quantities.

As the most powerful alchemist in the sect, Han Yan is the dean of Danding Academy. Like him, he usually doesn't care about trivial matters.

"Yes, sir!" Kong Yunyi and Lin Mao responded in unison.

in the afternoon.

Ji An was practicing magic to open up the Water Divine Palace when he heard someone calling him from outside the palace.

He walked to the door, pinched his fingers to open the forbidden area and greeted them, a gentle smile on his face:

"I was still thinking about you this morning, Senior Sister. I never thought you'd be at the Sinong Hall this afternoon. Please come in and take a seat."

Han Yan blinked lightly and said jokingly:
"From what I know about my junior brother, he only nags me when he has something to worry about!"

This junior brother was devoted to his cultivation. She often heard Jia Yu mention that he was someone who could stay in one place and continue to cultivate.

Ji An laughed and said to himself:

"Senior Sister, am I losing face?"

After some joking greetings, the two sat down and Ji An told them about refining the foundation-building pill.

Han Yan nodded seriously and said:

“The sect has strict regulations for all elixirs that can help one break through a major realm. The number of pills that an alchemist can refine will be stored and registered.

Junior Brother, if you want to take all of this batch of pills, that's fine. I'll keep a record and the Qingong Hall will verify it."

The Qingong Hall has the duty of inspector, and verifies the actual situation of each hall every year.

Ji An whispered, "Do you need me to say hello to Senior Brother Zhang?"

"That's not necessary. We are following the normal process. It's not a special case."

Han Yan smiled with bright eyes and raised eyebrows slightly:

"The Foundation Establishment Pill involves a lot of things. Although I don't usually meddle in trivial matters, I also know that the time when this batch of spiritual herbs was delivered is different from the past. Did Junior Brother plant them personally?"

"Yes, I took over the medicinal garden that Palace Master Kong was in charge of. Normally, it should take more than 20 years for the herbs to mature."

Because the spiritual medicine is often cultivated with Chaoyuan-level spells, its age accumulates much faster, and it has accumulated two hundred years of age in just twenty-three or twenty-four years.

If Kong Yunyi were in charge, it would take more than 40 years to cultivate it.

Han Yan leaned forward slightly and asked anxiously:
"Can the time be advanced further?"

If it can be advanced, the sect will be able to support more Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Ji An shook his head and said:

"It should be impossible, the efficiency of the spiritual medicine in absorbing spiritual energy has reached its limit.

Even if it is planted in a third-level spiritual field and cultivated using a Jindan-level planting spell, the cultivation time of the spiritual medicine will not be accelerated."

This is the species limitation. When he was in the foundation-building stage, he could cultivate spiritual grain to a yield of 400 kilograms per mu, and the current value is still the same.

No matter how good the spell is, there are always limits.

Han Yan pursed her lips and said:

"Human power is limited, and the spiritual veins and land have their carrying capacity limits. A few days ago, Senior Sister He and I discussed the question of how many cultivators the sect can support.

The two of us roughly concluded that we could support about 1,200 Foundation Establishment cultivators, 100 Chao Yuan Stage cultivators, and three to four Golden Core Stage cultivators.

If Ling Nong's ability could reach the level of my junior brother, this value would probably double."

A bright light flashed in her dark eyes.

Ji An said in a deep voice:
"Senior Sister, you think too highly of me. It's impossible to double the number of cultivators I support. There's a reason why high-level spiritual medicines require spiritual fields.

Based on my observations and comparisons over the years, I came to a conclusion.

Even if the spell is high-level and powerful, if the spiritual field is not of sufficient quality, the spell's effect will not be retained as expected."

If the same type of third-grade spiritual medicine is planted in the second-grade top-grade and third-grade lower-grade spiritual fields respectively, and the same spiritual farmer uses the same method to cultivate it, there will be obvious differences in the speed at which the age of the medicine increases.

The cultivators of Xizhou did not occupy high-level spiritual veins, so the upper limit of each force was limited to the Jindan level, or even lower.

Taking the Jinling Sect as an example, there are many spiritual vein nodes on Chaoyang Peak, which should be able to sustain the cultivation needs of many cultivators.

In order to satisfy the cultivation of the two Jindan ancestors, the spiritual energy of many spirit vein nodes was drawn away by the formation and gathered in the ancestors' caves.

Even if a cultivator obtains a miraculous opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, a low-grade third-order spiritual vein cannot meet the needs of daily cultivation.

It is said that in the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Mountains, there are four levels of spiritual veins, which is the territory of the transformed monsters.

"The situation of the sect is much better than before. Originally, the main spiritual vein was only of the second-grade supreme quality, and the cultivation time of many fellow disciples in the Chaoyuan period was limited."

Han Yan's eyes flashed with reminiscence. Not only the cultivation of the cultivators, but also the growth of spiritual medicines were completely unable to support the disciples of the sect.

A lot of the output from the Equipment Refining Hall and the Beast Taming Hall has to be traded with Luofeng Valley in exchange for elixirs that can improve cultivation.

The sect's treasure house is mostly empty. She changed the subject and chuckled:
"I've been talking so much that I've forgotten the real business. I want to ask you, Junior Brother, are the longevity peaches in the dojo ripe?"

She was aware that a second-level longevity peach had been cultivated in the Red Flame Peak.

“Not yet. The fruit just started to set two years ago, and it will take another three years to mature.

The last time the longevity peaches were ripe, I handed them in to the sect in exchange for a small merit. Didn't you get any, Senior Sister?"

The second-grade medium-quality longevity peach has a fruiting period of five years, and a tree only produces about twenty peaches to ensure sufficient medicinal effect.

Han Yan waved her hand and said:
"The sect directly commissioned me to refine all the longevity peaches into longevity pills. I don't have any demand for this kind of pills at the moment, so I didn't exchange them.

A few days ago, an old friend came to me and asked for the longevity elixir. I owed her a big favor, so I agreed immediately.

Unexpectedly, after going to the treasure house, I learned that the longevity pills had already been exchanged by fellow disciples.

Do you have any extra birthday peaches left? If so, I'd like to ask you to trade one with me. I owe you a favor."

It is difficult to repay a debt of gratitude, and since her old friend is anxious to get it back, she can only do her best to help.

"Yes," Ji An said, taking out a wooden box with a spirit-sealing talisman on it and handing it over.

Ever since he got the Dongxu Stone Pendant, he took out a portion of all the supplies he had from the warehouse and carried them with him.

The virtual space is so large, it would be a waste if it were left empty.

Han Yan stretched out her delicate hand like white jade to take the box, tore off the spirit-sealing talisman and opened it. She saw a pink longevity peach as big as her two fists lying quietly inside.

It looks like a jade carving, with a warm luster and a light fruity fragrance that lifts your spirits when you smell it.

After checking, she put the sealing talisman back on the box, a smile spreading across her lips, revealing her white teeth:

"Thank you, Junior Brother. If you need any help in the future, just let me know."

Now that we have the main ingredient for the longevity pill, it will be much easier to collect the other elixirs.

"Senior sister has a wide network of contacts. In the future, you can mobilize your friends to help me collect various rare spiritual seeds, preferably spiritual tree seeds."

Ji An didn't care about this small favor and casually came up with a plan to get the other party to return the favor.

When favors are transferred from another person to him, they have already depreciated a lot.

Han Yan covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, "Hehe, Junior Brother, you want to build Chiyan Peak into the sect's most comprehensive spiritual wood variety training center!"

She stopped smiling and her face became serious:

"Junior brother, this move will benefit all the disciples of the sect. I will mobilize friends outside the sect to help.

I will use this longevity peach to pay off my debt with elixirs, is that okay?"

"of course can."

In the evening, at the stone house at the foot of Chiyan Peak.

The light on the teleportation array twisted, and after a flash of light, Ji An appeared on it. He pinched the magic ban and walked out of the stone house.

As usual, he flew towards the cold pond on a cloud. Suddenly, he noticed that the smell in the air was a little different from usual, and the sky was brighter than usual.

Looking back suspiciously, he saw that half of the sunset had already fallen into the distant mountains, but the golden-red mist above the Red Flame Peak was still gushing out.

After a brief moment of surprise, he laughed out loud. Normally, the vigorous gold and fire spirits should have subsided half an hour ago.

This is a sign that the improvement of the Red Flame Peak's spiritual vein is nearing completion, four or five years earlier than Senior Brother Chu Huaige expected.

After the spiritual vein grade is upgraded, those spiritual plants that have the potential to be upgraded to the second-grade top grade should be able to be cultivated one after another.

He immediately took out several golden swords for communication, recorded the good news into them, and then activated them to inform Zhu Xiangrong, Jia Yu, several senior brothers Zhang Zizhao, as well as senior sister Ge Luoying and ancestor Zhengyang.

If the Red Flame Peak erupts, Zhu Xiangrong and Jia Yu will be present. After the spiritual vein is upgraded, the spiritual objects submitted for renting the sect's spiritual fields also need to be recalculated, so the Work Hall must be informed.

half a month later.

The golden-red mist on the top of the Red Flame Peak was twenty feet high, accompanied by billowing black smoke and sparks.

At the foot of the mountain, the sound of "gurgling" from the cold pond was endless, and bubbles were bubbling out in strings, as if the water was boiling.

The usually clear water was now turbid, with black mud and various corrupt substances at the bottom of the pool surging, giving off a fishy smell.

Ji An felt sad in his heart, wondering what kind of filth was hidden beneath the prosperity.

A spirit boat landed, and Zhu Xiangrong and Jia Yu jumped out first, followed by a dozen disciples.

There was a hint of complexity in Zhao Lei's eyes. When he first came to Chiyan Peak, Ji An's cultivation was far lower than his.

Now he has just broken through to the ninth level of foundation building, while the other party is already a cultivator of Chaoyuan period and is on equal terms with his master.

After Ji An exchanged greetings with everyone, he said:

"Two brothers, let's move to the bamboo forest over there. The smell here is a bit of a bother."

The stench is not strong, but it is persistent and makes people feel quite uncomfortable.

Jia Yu nodded, holding up the wine gourd and said:
"Let's go! It's ruining our drinking mood!"

Zhu Xiangrong waved his hand and instructed his disciples:

"Spread out along the mountain and wait for the volcano to erupt."

This morning, Chu Huaige came to check the situation of the earth veins and told him that the time node of the eruption of Red Flame Peak is between midnight tonight and tomorrow morning.

It’s better to arrive early than late, so he brought his disciples here early.

"Yes, sir," the disciples responded and controlled the magic weapons to disperse.

The three of them came to the bamboo forest, where the air was much fresher and carried the unique fragrance of pure bamboo.

Jia Yu took a sip of wine and said happily:
"Once the spiritual vein grade of Scarlet Flame Peak is upgraded, the earth vein nodes within dozens of miles will also benefit from it, and the concentration of spiritual energy will increase significantly."

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
“Junior brother, the ancestor has already ordered that after the spiritual veins here are upgraded, the Qin Gong Hall will send people to survey the status of the spiritual vein nodes and directly carry out the next round of upgrades.

The ancestor meant to upgrade the earth vein grades of the main spiritual vein node and several secondary nodes of the Red Flame Peak to the second-grade best grade! "

The thriving scene of Chiyan Peak made the ancestor determined to improve the grade of the spiritual vein, and he did not rule out the possibility of raising it to the third grade in the future.

Ji An's eyes lit up and he smiled excitedly:

"I will never let down the kindness of my ancestors."

The second-grade top-grade spiritual vein node can barely support the daily practice of early Jindan cultivators!

Zhu Xiangrong sighed enviously and said:
"The ancestor has high expectations for Junior Brother, no less than Junior Brother Li Haoran."

Jia Yu raised his head and took another sip of wine:

"Brother, why are you sighing? You should be happy. With the eruption at Scarlet Flame Peak, Junior Brother Lin doesn't have time to come and grab the resources."

Lin Qiubai was busy expanding the Divine Palace and rarely went out on weekdays. He was unaware of the news that the Red Flame Peak was about to erupt.

Zhu Xiangrong grinned and said:
"Haha, this is indeed good news!"

Before he finished speaking, Ji An saw a silver line emerging from the clouds in the sky, and then he heard the roar of a sword like thunder.
