Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 378: Opening up the Water Palace

"Going out? Why did you choose to travel at this time?"

Du Huaiyuan was puzzled. In his eyes, the other party had sufficient resources and there was no need for him to travel. He could try to break through the Jindan stage before going out.

Ji An scratched his head and explained:

"After breaking through the Chaoyuan stage, simply accumulating mana will not improve your realm. You also need to open up the Five Elements Divine Palace and consume the corresponding five elements' qi.

In the sect, eating earth and practicing Qigong are not allowed, as this will affect the earth's veins, so it is necessary to travel outside.

Not only does he need to go out to eat earth and circulate his qi, but he also needs to go out when he needs to eat water and circulate his qi."

For a force that wants to develop over the long term, cultivating spiritual veins is a must, unless the spiritual veins enter a period of depletion, then they will use all means to catch fish.

Li Lingyu asked:
"How long will it take to return to the sect?"

"It's estimated to take about ten years," Ji An could not give an accurate answer.

The Earth Element Qi needs to be combined with the Wu Earth Qi and the Ji Earth Qi to be absorbed by the core of the Divine Palace, and its distribution is relatively scattered, making it the most time-consuming of the Five Elements.

This estimated time is the result of his use of elixirs to improve himself over the years, otherwise it would take even longer.

He paused and then said:

"Senior Brother Liu should be going on a trip too. Where is he going? When will he leave?"

He already knew that the other party was a fire-type Taoist body. Although he didn't get many pills, with the support of the fire-type spiritual fruit from the Red Flame Peak, the other party was able to strengthen the core of his divine palace and improve his cultivation at a very fast speed.

"My Earth God's Palace core has been opened up for half a year, and I can travel out at any time. I decided to leave in a few days. The ancestor suggested that I go to Nanzhou."

The area he most wanted to go to was deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains, but there were many demon kings there now, so it was not a good place to go.

The ancestor also suggested that he travel with his fellow disciples, but he didn't want others to affect his progress in cultivation, so he declined.

Hearing his words, Mu Qingwan lowered her head, and a flash of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

She had secretly developed feelings for Liu Yu, but there had been no substantial progress between them.

But now she is only a cultivator at the seventh level of foundation building. As the gap in their cultivation continues to widen, perhaps her feelings are destined to end in failure.

"Junior brother, your Earthly Divine Palace has been opened up for many years. When are you going to leave?"

Liu Yu knew that the reason why the other party did not go out to travel was because he wanted to accompany his master through the last moments of his life.

"It should take another year or two. The flying boat of the Central Continental Business Alliance will be arriving soon. I want to go take a look."

Ji An handed over most of the unused resources to the sect, and after saying hello to Senior Brother Jia Yu, he cleared the small merits in the jade token in exchange for pills.

In addition, he has some resources in his hands and is ready to see if there is anything worth buying.

"Brother, since you are preparing to leave, I won't be on duty at Sinong Palace in three days. I will invite everyone to a small gathering at Scarlet Flame Peak to see you off."

Liu Yu smiled gently and said:
"Okay, let's go together and get drunk."

It's nice to completely relax before leaving the sect.

"Okay, I'll go help early!"

Du Huaiyuan was very supportive. Given Junior Brother Ji's personality, he would definitely treat everyone to a glass of second-grade premium spirit wine. He could not enjoy such fine wine on a normal day.

Everyone chatted for a long time until the sunset and then dispersed.

Tian Jin stayed at the cave entrance, and after everyone left, he took out a talisman:
"Master Ji, this is Ning Cuiya's forbidden jade token, I am returning it to you."

In essence, she was a disciple hired by Ge Ying, and now that her employer has passed away, it is time for her to leave.

Ji An took the talisman, nodded slightly, and asked:

"What are your plans for the future?"

Tian Jin looked up at his master, then quickly lowered his head and replied softly:

"I have been following my uncle for many years and have learned alchemy through his observation and observation.

Although I am not a disciple, my uncle has given me a lot of instruction, and I am able to refine several kinds of Qi Refining elixirs.

I'm going to the Danding Academy to see if I'm qualified to be an apprentice."

"You are now at the eighth level of Qi Refining and will soon be facing the stage of Foundation Establishment.

Master once told me that she would reward you with a Foundation Establishment Pill. She has already exchanged the pill from the sect, and you will be able to get it in a few days.

It just so happens that you are going to Dan Ding Academy, where you can get the Foundation Establishment Pill directly."

Ji An understood in his heart why his master wanted to reward the other party with a foundation-building pill, because it was this disciple who had been by his master's side during the last few years of his life.

In past life terms, this is hospice care, which provides a great deal of emotional value.

In previous lives on Earth, you would sometimes see an elderly person giving his inheritance to someone who was not related to him by blood and who had taken care of him.

Why? In the final moments of life, blood relatives cannot be nearby due to various ties and fulfill filial duties. The feeling of loneliness and loss is very strong.

Having someone to take care of you, serve you, and talk to you fills a big emotional gap. This is what it means that deep affection is not as good as long-term companionship.

Tian Jin suddenly looked up and opened her mouth slightly. In the past few days, she had lost hope in the foundation-building pill promised by her master.

"Thank you, Master."

Ji An looked at his disciple's expression, took out a communication sword, and said gently:
“You should thank my master the most, she did all this.

There is a mark of my magic power on the talisman sword. Remember to let me know after you get the foundation-building pill.

Also, give me your mana mark."

He will definitely fulfill his master's promise until the other party gets the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Tian Jin took the talisman sword and exchanged the magic seal. Ji An said:
"You can go to Dan Ding Academy tomorrow. Don't worry, you will definitely become an alchemist apprentice."

The master had mentioned that the other party was a good seedling and quite talented in alchemy. If she hadn't had so little time left, she would have been willing to accept him as her disciple.

"Thank you, Master!"

After expressing his gratitude profusely, Tian Jin left on the Fu Bird, feeling that the sky was exceptionally blue.

Ji An took out the golden sword for communication and briefly introduced the disciple's affairs to encourage him to send it out. This was the "letter of introduction" and the recipient of the golden sword was Senior Sister Han Yan.

Three days later, at noon.

The living room of Chiyan Peak was packed with guests, and the dazzling array of spiritual food exuded an enticing aroma, whetting people's appetites.

Ji An raised his glass and said solemnly:

"I wish Brother Liu all the best and a prosperous life!"

Everyone raised their glasses and expressed their blessings. Mu Qingwan pursed her lips and added:
"Brother, be careful when you go out."

"Thank you, Junior Sister."

Liu Yu nodded slightly and smiled again:

"Thank you everyone, and I wish you all a long and prosperous life."

Everyone drank to their heart's content, the sadness of separation gradually dissipated, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Du Huaiyuan wielded his chopsticks so quickly that he almost bit his tongue while eating the grilled fish and pastries smeared with second-grade premium honey.

Ji An put down his wine glass and said:
"My destination for travel is also Nanzhou. Maybe I can run into Brother there!"

"Haha, if we meet in a foreign land, it will surely be a different experience."

Everyone drank happily until night fell and the sky was filled with stars, and then everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Zhang Cuihua was very happy. Although she was very busy today, she felt very happy. The more such banquets she held, the more sense of accomplishment she would feel.

Ji An rode the cloud around several 'S' shaped bends and stumbled back to the cave.

The second-grade, high-quality spiritual wine had a strong aftertaste, and everyone was drunk.

He came to the quiet room, sat cross-legged on the cushion and practiced the Wood Element Chapter of the Five Elements Wheel. This chapter was perfect for refining spiritual wine.

After a moment, Ji An opened his eyes. All the spiritual power contained in the spiritual wine and spiritual food was refined, and his eyes became clear again.

He added pure bamboo charcoal to the beehive, ignited it, boiled spiritual spring water, and brewed a pot of Jade Dew Golden Bud tea.

After drinking the tea and swallowing it together with the tea leaves, he sat down again and practiced the method to open up the Water Divine Palace.

Magical power flowed out from the dantian, and the kidneys immediately turned black, and the veins were like white clouds.

The two water-based seeds in the acupoints flashed with black light, and a moist and vast divine will filled the air.

Half an hour later, Ji An felt his kidneys tremble suddenly, and all the veins were opened up.

Fortunately, when practicing this method, the opening of the meridians in the two kidneys was completely synchronized, so there was no need to go through the trouble twice.

He immediately activated his magic, and his magic power flowed rapidly in his immortal veins like waves.

Wave after wave of magical power poured into the kidneys, and the veins began to shine like the light of water under the moon.

Ji An seemed to hear the sound of flowing water, which was like a trickle flowing through the mountains at first. After a while, the sound of the water became louder, like a mighty stream flowing down from a narrow canyon, and the rumbling sound was like thunder.

He didn't know how long it had been, but he felt his whole body tremble, all the sounds disappeared, and the world was silent at this moment.

The core of the divine palace was formed in each kidney. Ji An felt as if his body had broken free from some shackles and felt a sense of relief.

Not only that, infinite power surged out of his body, and his bones made crackling sounds.

His body instinctively began to practice the internal cultivation techniques of the Glazed Gold Jade Bone Body, and his internal organs seemed to be breathing.

The heartbeat became stronger and stronger, like the beating of a drum.

A stream of heat gushed out from the coccyx and the heart at the same time. One stream spiraled upward along the spine like a giant dragon ascending to the sky, and the other stream of heat spread quickly to all parts of the body like the shock wave of an explosion.

His skin emitted a warm silver glow, which then quickly faded away.

Ji An was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It was a pleasant surprise. While opening up the Water-walking Divine Palace, his body-building technique reached the late stage of foundation building.

From then on, his skin, muscles, internal organs and bones had stronger defensive capabilities, and his physical fitness was improved in all aspects.

The next day.

Ji An came to the Sinong Palace and said:

"Palace Master Kong, I have something to do today, so I need to go to Chaoyang Peak to meet with the ancestor. If you have anything to deal with, please handle it first. If it's something difficult, I'll come back tomorrow to deal with it.

If it's urgent, send me the Golden Sword of Message."

Although Lin Mao had taken the longevity elixir, he was already very old after all, and he would have to rely on Kong Yunyi in the future.

Let his subordinates know so that they won’t be unable to find him when something happens.

"I understand," Kong Yunyi agreed happily. In the past, the Palace Master would instruct Lin Mao when he had something to do, but now he entrusts it to him. He was very satisfied with the improvement of his status.

Ji An nodded slightly and asked again:

"Has the list of people who will be distributing the Foundation Establishment Pills been finalized? The spiritual herbs in the medicine garden will soon mature."

"To reply to the Palace Master, it has been confirmed."
