Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 374: Top Grade Gengjin Dao Seed
Five thousand great merits can be converted into five hundred thousand small merits.

When Ge Ying heard about the reward her disciple had received, her heart was filled with joy, even happier than when she herself had received the reward.

So many small achievements are comparable to what she has gained in most of her life.

She and Zhong Yuefei smiled at each other, and could see the joy in each other's eyes.

Ji An was not proud. For other cultivators, this reward was a huge income, but for him, it was only five or six years' income.

He single-handedly raised the sect's GDP by a lot, and in a few decades he would become the sect's 'financial oligarch'.

"This doesn't count."

Zheng Yang Zhenren waved his hands and said with a pleased smile:
“Even if you don’t tell us, the sect will search for more rare spirit seeds and seedlings, and you only need to exchange them for a small amount of merit.

Tell me another request, as long as it's not excessive, I can agree to it."

The disciples have proven their value, and the sect only needs to give them full support. All that is left is to wait for the flowers to bloom.

The more prosperous the Red Flame Peak becomes, the more benefits the sect will gain from it.

Ji An scratched his head, smiled innocently, and said:

“I hope that the sect can inherit more knowledge about planting and Chaoyuan-level spells from the monks in Zhongzhou.

I want to study more Five Elements spells, maybe it will help me understand the Five Elements' intergeneration in the future."

After the spiritual vein of Red Flame Peak was upgraded to the upper grade of the second stage, the stone turtle was able to absorb 20% to 30% more spiritual energy than before, and the five elements were more balanced.

The speed at which he improves his spells will be faster than before.

As long as he can elevate a spell to the level of great perfection, he will definitely be able to accumulate the foundation of Tao seeds.

After the Tao Seed is upgraded, the spiritual energy consumed by the spell will be reduced accordingly.

This is also the fundamental reason why he tends to improve all spells to the extreme.

Zhenren Zhengyang smiled and said:

"With your request, the sect will also benefit. Do you have any more personal requests?"

Ji An was in a dilemma. He didn't have any urgent needs at the moment. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Can the sect help collect the refining methods of other replicas of the Innate Five Elements Flag?

There is no need for a magic weapon-level refining method, as long as you can refine a top-grade spiritual weapon."

The natal magic weapon needs to withstand the tempering of the cultivator's own golden elixir thunder tribulation. If other top-grade spiritual weapons want to be upgraded to the level of magic weapons, they can directly be tempered by the heavenly thunder.

However, there are disadvantages to guiding heavenly thunder. There is a high probability that the best spiritual weapon will be directly destroyed by heavenly thunder. If conditions permit, Jindan cultivators will always choose to refine magic weapons directly.

His eyes suddenly widened, and Zhenren Zhengyang said in astonishment:
"You already have two Five Elements Flags, isn't that enough? Let me tell you, more spiritual weapons and magic treasures aren't necessarily better. Keeping them in your Dantian to nourish it will only slow down your cultivation.

If you have all the five element flags in your Dantian, a portion of your daily mana will be consumed by them."

The cost of nurturing top-grade spiritual weapons by cultivators increases dramatically as the number of spiritual weapons increases.

Yu Xiao Zhenren interjected:
"The consumption of mana is secondary. Once the spiritual weapon stores enough mana, the consumption of mana will be greatly reduced.

However, having too many spiritual instruments will place too much of a burden on your Yuan Ming Fire, and will affect every aspect of your cultivation. You must consider this carefully."

He had the same idea back then, but after nurturing three top-grade spiritual weapons, his cultivation efficiency dropped directly. Later, he had to reluctantly take them out and only nurture two.

In the last few decades before breaking through the Jindan stage, he only retained one top-grade spiritual weapon.

Ji An said in a deep voice:
"It is my dream to obtain more replicas of the innate five elements spiritual treasures. I will work hard to fulfill this wish in the future, but when it comes to breaking through the realm, I will definitely make corresponding choices."

The few breaths of pure and spiritual air that the stone turtle spews out every year are his reliance, and the Yuanming Fire, which is much more vigorous than that of other cultivators of the same level, is his confidence.

Now he has two top-grade spiritual weapons, but he doesn't feel any pressure to nourish them. He wants to try to increase the number of spiritual weapons in his dantian to three.

True Man Yuxiao chuckled lightly and did not comment. Many cultivators believed that they were the chosen ones, and he also thought so back then.

He turned to the other side and asked:

"Brother, what do you think?"

Master Zhengyang's eyes were profound as he said thoughtfully:

"For this kind of knowledge, the price paid by Central Continent cultivators is quite high. When the Merchant Alliance's flying boat arrives, I will purchase the corresponding inheritance as appropriate if I have sufficient resources.

Knowledge of planting is the first priority, followed by various spells, and the methods of refining top-grade spiritual weapons are at the end."

Planting knowledge can enrich the sect's spiritual agricultural foundation. Now that the Sinong Hall has been established, the purpose is to create a foundation as rich as the Luofeng Valley.

The increase in the types of spells can enrich the means of all Chaoyuan period monks.

Judging from his experience, the possibility of obtaining the method of refining a top-grade spiritual weapon is extremely small.

The forces that possess this kind of knowledge inheritance are only willing to sell finished products. Taking the Jinling Sect as an example, they will never trade the refining methods of the Lidi Flame Flag and the Wuji Xinghuang Flag under any circumstances.

Master Zhengyang looked at Ji An and said solemnly:

“These years are a very important period of time. The sect needs to spend a lot of resources to exchange for the Golden Core from the cultivators in Zhongzhou.

Therefore, the allocation of resources in other areas will be reduced. The sect will try its best to obtain the inheritance and planting resources, but when it comes to purchasing spells and refining top-grade spiritual weapons, they can only do their best.

But the sect will do its best to improve the content you proposed, I promise."

He made a promise. The cause of the matter was that he asked his disciples if they had any additional requests. In the end, he did not meet the disciples' requests, which might have affected the disciples' mood.

When the Zhongzhou Business Alliance arrives this time, the sect needs to purchase two golden elixirs. After another thirty years, it should be necessary to purchase two more.

This is a huge expense and will seriously deplete the sect’s resource reserves.

Ultimately, the sect is not rich, and no matter how many resources it obtains, it is still not enough.

The accumulation of a power's foundation is a very difficult process, and requires a huge price to purchase replicable "skills".

Ji An nodded and said with a smile:

"The disciple understands."

When it comes to the sect's golden elixir inheritance, everything else must give way.

He only needs to do his part, but the ancestor has a lot more things to consider.

After the matter was settled, Yu Xiao Zhenren smiled and said:
"After cultivating the top-grade spiritual peach, how long will it take for it to start bearing fruit?"

Only when stable results are achieved can the spiritual wood generate continuous income.

Ji An shook his head. He had no experience in this area and didn't know what the situation would be like.

Ge Ying coughed lightly and said in a deep voice:
"According to the sect's records, the last top-grade spiritual peach began to bear fruit sixteen years after it was cultivated.

Now that Ningcui Cliff's spiritual veins have been upgraded, and Ji An's magic is sophisticated enough, I believe it will bear fruit within ten years."

She is very concerned about the cultivation of Lingtao and has looked up a lot of information.

"Ten years? Great!"

Zheng Yang Zhenren nodded. This way, the next time the Zhongzhou Merchant Alliance came, the top-grade spiritual peach would be useful. He pointed to another top-grade spiritual peach with a smile in his eyes:

"Based on the example of the top-grade spiritual peach, this spiritual tree can also be cultivated to the top grade within thirty years, right?"

Ji An smiled and nodded, saying:

"In theory, yes, and I have confidence in it."

The spiritual peach tree was planted by him personally, and he knew the condition of the seeds very well. In the past thirty years, he has probably cultivated top-grade spiritual plants on Chiyan Peak.

He thought of something and suddenly changed his words:
"Who knows, in a few years, I might be ready to travel and eat wood to circulate my qi."

If he takes care of the child personally, he has the confidence to do so, but if he asks his fellow disciples to take care of the child, the possibility is much lower.

He now understood that the Chaoyuan-level planting spell irrigation played a great role in cultivating high-level spiritual plants.

Only this explanation can explain why the sect has accumulated for thousands of years, but it is so rare to cultivate second-level top-grade spiritual plants.

Zhenren Zhengxiao grinned and said:

"I'm increasingly reluctant to let you leave the sect to travel. Every year you're away is a loss."

As everyone left the medicine garden, a golden sword carrying a message was immediately rushing towards Ji An. He probed into his spiritual sense to read the information in it and nodded secretly.

The news came from Senior Brother Zhang Zizhao of the Qinong Hall. The other party asked him to stay at Chiyan Peak tomorrow. He and Chu Huaige will arrive before noon tomorrow.

The other party also said that he had already informed Jia Yu of the Treasure Pavilion and there was no need for him to notify anyone else.

Ji An returned to Chiyan Peak and, as usual, consumed some wood energy and the Ding fire energy in the wood, refining a small amount of liver fluid and heart fluid.

These spiritual liquids can nourish the fire of life, and strengthen the earth spiritual flame in a roundabout way. A little bit of it will escape into the dantian and turn into pure magic power.

The last shred of light in the sky faded, and the once brilliant clouds quickly darkened and merged into the night.

A cloud of fire rose from under Ji An's feet and flew to a cave on the mountainside. He came to the quiet room, took out a jade bottle filled with the essence of the five elements, and nourished the Li Di Flame Flag and the Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Flag respectively.

With his unstinting care, the spirituality of the two spiritual weapons increased to varying degrees, especially the Flame Flag.

When it is "full", it will make a clear sound like a phoenix, fly around him three times, and then re-enter his dantian to warm him.

Ji An sat cross-legged on the black soul-calming grass cushion, took out a Diyuan Soul-calming Pill and swallowed it, then hurriedly practiced the Earth Element Chapter of the Five Elements Rotation Sutra to refine it.

The pill had an earthy smell and was the most unpalatable pill he had ever eaten, bar none.

As the technique was practiced, the spiritual energy and earth energy in the elixir were quickly refined, and the spiritual energy in the cave also gathered towards him frantically.

A yellow light appeared on the surface of the spleen, and the Wu Earth and Ji Earth Taoist seeds in the acupoints shone with spiritual light.

The Wu Earth Tao Seed exudes a heavy and carrying divine will, while the Ji Earth Tao Seed exudes a nourishing and profound divine will.

The spiritual energy passed through the Wood God's Palace and took on a hint of green, adding a bit of vitality. Then it passed through the Fire God's Palace and turned into a scarlet red, blazing and unrestrained.

Ji An didn't know how other people practiced, but when he was practicing, he already had some signs of the five elements generating each other.

Strands of earth energy converge towards the spleen and are swallowed by the core of the spirit palace. The veins on the surface of the spleen move slightly, as if the earth is changing.

An hour later, the medicinal power was completely refined. Ji An felt the core of his divine palace become larger and nodded with satisfaction.

He slowly opened his eyes, and saw that his pupils had turned yellow, emitting a warm glow.

The yellow quickly faded, revealing a deep black, like the night sky.

"It's a pity that the elixir has run out. It will take two years to get it again."

With a light sigh, Ji An stood up to boil some spiritual spring water, then took out a box from the virtual space and opened it.

Seeing the situation inside, his face turned bitter and he kept shaking his head:

"There's only one plate of soul incense left. Hard times are coming!"

He used the object control technique to grab the animal-eared three-legged stove, lit soul incense, and began to close his eyes to rest.

The kettle on the stove made a gurgling sound. He brewed a pot of Jade Dew and Golden Bud tea and drank it. Then he sat cross-legged on the cushion again and practiced the method to open up the Water God Palace.

The kidneys immediately turned pitch black, and vibrant white cloud patterns lit up at the same time.

Magical power gushed out from the dantian and poured into the kidneys. The Ren water and Gui water in the acupoints were as deep as ink, and the rich and flowing breath gathered in the immortal veins.

Time flies, and more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Ji An felt that his spiritual power was no longer sustainable, so he slowly stopped practicing.

Another inner vein was opened up, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

He sank his mind into his dantian and connected with the stone turtle.

[Master: Ji An]

[Tao Yun: Gold 15.2, Water 12.6, Wood 10.4, Fire 14.6, Earth 13.8]

He always believed that Daoyun would have other undeveloped functions, but he never found any other uses.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to keep a little of each Dao rhyme in his hand for emergency use, and refine the rest.

As the Tao Seed improves, the spell effect will also be improved accordingly, and at the same time, the spiritual energy consumed to enhance the spell can be reduced.

Converting resources into strength has always been his idea.

"Refine ten points of water-based Dao rhyme to enhance the Guishui Dao seed."

"Refine ten points of the Dao rhyme of the Wood Element to evenly increase the Dao seeds of Jiamu and Yimu."

"Refine the fourteen points of fire-based Dao rhyme to evenly increase the Bing Fire and Ding Fire Dao seeds."

"Refine the twelve points of earth-based Dao rhyme to enhance one's own earth-based Dao seed."

"Refine the fifteen points of the Golden Dao Rhyme to elevate the Gengjin Dao Seed."

As the orders were given one after another, the light of each Dao seed shone brightly.

It seemed as if some mechanism was triggered, and the pale golden Gengjin Dao Seed in the Taiyuan acupoint turned into silver-white, and suddenly burst out with brilliant light, and Ji An's sea of ​​consciousness was filled with a blazing white color.

He was startled and opened his eyes, only to find that reality was also affected and everything was white.

'what's the situation! '

Just as he was surprised, the Gengjin Dao Seed flew out from the Taiyuan acupoint and followed the immortal vein into the Jinxing Divine Palace.

The strange vision in Ji An's sea of ​​consciousness disappeared, and the scene in his eyes returned to normal.

At this time, before he could connect with the stone turtle, lines of words appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Tao Seed: Sharp Edge (Top Grade), hidden in the Metal Palace of the Lungs, comprehends the true meaning of Gengjin Dao magic, 'Indestructible, All Things Wither', and enhances the understanding of Gengjin Dao magic.]

The meaning of extinction has now become the withering of all things, which is essentially the same thing.

Rich! Ji An was ecstatic. He now had a certain understanding of the grades of Dao seeds. Dao seeds in the Qi Refining stage were not of high quality, those in the Foundation Establishment stage were of low quality, and those in the Chao Yuan stage were of medium quality.

The Gengjin Dao Seed has reached the top grade, doesn’t that mean it has reached the golden elixir level!
