Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 379 Five Elements Dao Body
Auspicious clouds of fire emitting a red glow landed in front of the Wuji Palace. The monk gathered the clouds and said in a deep voice:

"Disciple Ji An, begging to see the ancestor."

"Come in and talk."

When Zhenren Zhengyang saw his disciple enter the hall, he pointed at the cushion beside him and said jokingly:
"Sit down and talk slowly. I don't see you often. Are you very busy in the Sinong Palace?"

This disciple has now entered the stage of cultivation of eating earth and practicing Qi, but the people in the sect are not allowed to eat Qi, so he should be relatively free.

Ji An scratched his head and explained:

“As for the affairs of the Sinong Palace, I only need to grasp the general direction, so I am not busy.

I'm just busy developing the Water God's Mansion and rarely go out."

"Wait a minute," Zhengyang Zhenren raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously:
"You said you were busy developing the Water Palace?"

How is this possible! To open up the Divine Mansion, one needs to have a most primitive node before they can proceed.

Generally speaking, only after a certain divine palace is completed can the original node of the next divine palace be opened up.

"That's right, my disciple's Water Palace has been opened up. Not only the Water Palace, but also the Gold Palace has been opened up."

"How did you do it? I mean, how did you open up the original nodes of these two divine palaces?"

Zhenren Zhengyang asked anxiously, he was very excited.

If a disciple can discover some extraordinary secret method, it will greatly promote the growth of the sect's Chaoyuan period monks.

You can use the fragmented time on weekdays to open up the divine palace and save time.

Many disciples would spend more than ten or even several decades just to open up their divine palaces. By the time all five divine palaces were complete, they would be over four hundred years old and very old.

The disciples, who have little time left, simply do not have enough time to comprehend the true meaning of the endless reproduction of the Five Elements, let alone reach the realm of Five Qis Returning to Origin.

Ji An coughed and whispered:
"Before this disciple broke through to the Chao Yuan stage, vein patterns appeared on the surfaces of his liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys."

"Huh? Is this even possible?"

Zhenren Zhengyang was even more confused. According to the sect's records, many cultivators opened up two internal organ meridians during the foundation-building stage.

Ever since he obtained the Five Elements Rotation Sutra and separated out the sect's foundation-building exercises, there have been several records of opening up three internal organ meridians.

These cultivators have one thing in common: they have a deep understanding of the divine will of the techniques, but opening up the meridians of the five internal organs is truly unheard of.

"What technique did you choose during the Foundation Establishment period?"

"I chose the Qingmu Changchun Gong, which allowed me to absorb the spiritual energy of Jia and Yi wood, Bing and Ding fire, Ji earth, and Gui water, thus opening up four types of meridian patterns.

Later, veins naturally appeared on the lungs."

Ji An recalled what happened and recounted it in detail.

Zhenren Zhengyang was stunned. He didn't expect this to happen.

He stared at his disciple for a moment with complicated eyes, then suppressed his excitement and asked in a deep voice:
"Have you told anyone else about this?"

When he was traveling in Zhongzhou, he once heard about a special physique - the Five Elements Taoist Body.

This type of cultivator is born with a very keen insight into the power of the five elements. It is a more comprehensive physique than a single Taoist body. They are more likely to achieve golden elixir, and the quality of the golden elixir is not low.

If the proportion of cultivators with a single Five Elements Dao Body is one in ten thousand of the total number, then the Five Elements Dao Body cultivator is one in ten thousand, and is as rare as those with Thunder Dao Body, Sun Dao Body, and Taiyin Dao Body.

The founder of the Five Elements Sect, a major Yuanying sect in Central China, was said to be the Five Elements Dao Body, who suppressed an era.

He felt that his guess was the truth, which also explained why his disciples were able to practice several spells to an extremely high level.

Ji An shook his head and said affirmatively:

"No."

He had never told anyone about the development of five types of meridian patterns, but Senior Brother Jia Yu knew that he could absorb many kinds of spiritual light.

"Keep it to yourself and never make it public."

Zhenren Zhengyang pondered for a moment, explained the Five Elements Dao, and then said:

"According to my guess, you should be a cultivator of the Five Elements Dao Body. This type of cultivator may seem ordinary, but they have great potential.

If you achieve Golden Core someday, you will definitely travel abroad. If a Nascent Soul Sect invites you, you can join them."

The cultivators of the Five Elements Dao Body are too unemployed in the Jindan forces. He would be happy for his disciples if they could have better development.

People go to high places and water flows to low places. This is the law of nature.

If a disciple could achieve Nascent Soul stage by chance, even a little bit of resources would be revealed through his fingers, which would be enough for Jinling Sect to benefit endlessly.

Ji An grinned and thought:
"Invisible imagination is the most deadly, which is also good, so I don't need to say anything more. But what does the ancestor mean by saying this? Is it a test?"

His mind raced, and he quickly replied:

"Grandmaster, once I am a cultivator of the Golden Spirit Sect, I will always be one."

Zhenren Zhengyang waved his hand. He roughly understood his disciple's thoughts at the moment and explained:
"The sect's Five Elements Rotating Sutra was obtained by me when I was exploring a ruin in Zhongzhou. It only contains the cultivation method for the Golden Core Stage, but no method for breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

That relic is the remains of the Five Elements Sect that was destroyed in a demonic disaster tens of thousands of years ago. The ruins should contain a complete inheritance of the martial arts.

But it is very dangerous there, and obtaining the inheritance is a life-or-death struggle."

“Cultivators with the Five Elements Dao Body naturally have a higher chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The sect does not have a Nascent Soul inheritance, so if you want to make further progress, leaving is the best option."

After listening to the old ancestor's talk, Ji An roughly understood his thoughts and said:
"Can I buy a technique that directly targets the Nascent Soul Technique from a cultivator in Central Continent?" Zhenren Zhengyang shook his head.

"It's absolutely impossible. The cultivators in Central Continent allow the existence of Jindan forces in Western Continent, but they would not be willing for Yuanying cultivators to unify Western Continent.

If one wants to obtain the skills that can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the only way is to explore ruins and secret realms.

This is the tacit understanding of all Nascent Soul Sects. They restrict the cultivators of other factions from achieving Nascent Soul at a higher level to avoid the reshuffle of resource allocation."

Xizhou is like a warehouse for low-priced raw materials and a dumping ground for goods in Zhongzhou. If a cultivator can break through the Nascent Soul stage, he will be able to integrate the entire Xizhou, which is not what the Nascent Soul sects want to see.

The two talked for a long time. Ji An remembered why he came here today, and he said:

"I came here this time to inform you that I will be traveling once the flying boat of the Central Continent cultivators arrives."

“You have been developing the Earth God Palace for many years, it is time for you to go out.

When the merchant boat arrives, I'll prepare some elixirs and talismans for you."

Zhenren Zhengyang paused and continued:

“Han Yan has opened up the Earthly Divine Mansion. You two can go there together and someone will take care of you.

I have discussed this with Han Yan, and she is willing to go with you.

Of course, this is just my suggestion. If you want to travel alone, the sect will respect your choice."

"I'd like to go with Senior Sister," Ji An replied.

Most of the places where the Earth-Eating and Qi-Exerting Sect goes are desolate mountains and wilderness. If two people go together, there will be someone to guard the night, which is safer than using a beast to guard the night.

"Have you decided where to go?"

"Nanzhou."

Nanzhou has many mountains and waters, so it is possible to circulate qi through both soil and water.

"I've compiled a detailed map of Nanzhou, marking the distribution of various forces. I'll give it to you two when you leave."

Half a month passed.

At the beginning of the morning hour, Ji An called the two deputy hall masters and took out a storage bag and said:
"The materials for the foundation-building pills in the medicine garden have been harvested, and I have already sown the seeds.

You guys gather all the other ingredients and then go to Dan Ding Yuan in person.

I've already contacted Senior Sister Han Yan, and she will immediately arrange for an alchemist to prepare it. You should bring back the Foundation Establishment Pill and the reply from the Alchemy Academy."

The success of refining the foundation-building pill means that the Sinong Hall will soon have dozens more foundation-building cultivators.

With enough spiritual farmers in the Foundation Establishment stage, and with his methods, the sect's spiritual medicine cultivation will become more efficient.

"Yes, sir," Lin Mao and the other man responded, took the storage bag and left.

Not long after, his two disciples came together:

"Meet the Master!"

"No need for formalities," Ji An carefully felt the energy emanating from his disciple's body and nodded with satisfaction.

Both disciples have reached the fourth level of foundation building. The strength of their aura has improved significantly compared to last month, and it is obvious that they are practicing very hard.

"Lin Lan, the ten-year period is about to arrive. Have you practiced several Foundation Establishment cultivation spells to perfection?"

This disciple was arrogant and unwilling to cooperate with others in managing the medicine garden.

Lin Lan's face flushed, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito:
"Not yet, Master. There's still more than a year until the tenth anniversary. I still have time."

On weekdays, she mainly practiced the Spring Breeze and Rain Art, the Thick Earth Returning to Origin Mantra and the Green Wood Transformation Art. Since the art she chose was the wood element, she vaguely felt that she had touched the threshold to elevate the Green Wood Transformation Art to a perfect level, and she only needed an opportunity.

However, her comprehension of water and earth spells was a little lacking. She was worried and had lost confidence in improving her foundation-building spells to the second perfect level.

Ji An did not comment and said:
"Just keep it in mind. We'll see the outcome in a year."

He turned his head and looked at another disciple, saying:
"Han Shan, how is the situation on your side?"

This disciple was very down-to-earth and had a clear plan early on.

"Reporting to Master, I have been fortunate enough to elevate the Thick Earth Returning Origin Mantra to perfection."

Han Shan looked happy. He followed his master's advice and after the Thick Earth Return to Origin Mantra was upgraded to the great success level, he focused his main energy on figuring out the Thick Earth Secret.

After he improved his Qi Refining spells to the extreme, it was indeed much easier for him to practice the Thick Earth Returning to Origin Curse.

Half a month ago, he finally brought the Thick Earth Returning Origin Mantra to perfection.

Lin Lan was shocked, and felt bitterness and strong jealousy in her heart.

After such a comparison, her weight in the teacher's eyes will inevitably decline.

"Very good. The earthworm has no sharp claws or strong bones, but it eats dust from above and drinks water from below, yet it is single-minded."

Ji An praised him generously, "It's a pity that the cultivation method you chose is the Fire Element, but the sect doesn't have a Fire Element planting spell at the Foundation Establishment stage."

If this disciple had chosen the Earth-based Kung Fu, he would have been able to stand on his own.

"That's fine. Disciple can try his best to break through the Chao Yuan stage, and then practice better fire planting spells."

Han Shan said confidently that raising the Thick Earth Return to Origin Mantra to the perfect level gave him great confidence.
