Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 380 Tea Varieties
Ji An nodded with satisfaction. Having a down-to-earth apprentice would save him a lot of worries. Maybe the upper limit would not be very high, but the lower limit could be stabilized.

My own disciple is of top-grade talent, so his goal should at least be to break through the Chaoyuan stage!
Putting aside those individuals with extraordinary talents, the gap between monks with the same qualifications is not that big.

At this time, monks who can calm down and specialize in one thing are more likely to stand out.

The entire sect's model is quietly changing. After the Equipment Refining Hall and the Puppet Hall adopted "assembly line" production, their efficiency and quality have been greatly improved.

Production-oriented monks can earn more profits by doing logistics, while disciples who are more suitable for cultivation can focus more on improving their cultivation.

The sect's strength will steadily increase at the expense of some disciples achieving more comprehensive development.

He pondered:

“You two are already mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. During your cultivation, you need to spend more time and effort to understand the divine will within the techniques.

This will be very beneficial for your future practice. You will have a deeper understanding of the skills, your practice efficiency will increase, and the effectiveness of casting corresponding spells will also be enhanced.

Regarding the comprehension of the divine will of the exercises, if I say too much, it will affect your judgment, so I will only emphasize the most basic and most easily overlooked points.

The five elements are a kind of property, a kind of energy that can constantly change its form, rather than a real substance.

The spiritual plant is a tree, a representation, but it is not 'wood'. You should always ponder and understand this statement."

The five elements have different properties. Even Ji An is often confused by appearances. Cultivation is a process of constantly correcting cognition.

"Disciple, please remember this."

The two disciples responded respectfully. They told Ji An about the questions they had during their practice, and Ji An answered them patiently.

Half an hour later, Ji An said again:

"When Sinong Hall is fully on the right track, I will leave the sect and travel abroad for a few years. If you have any questions during your cultivation, you can always come to me.

I hope you can give me a surprise when I return from my travels."

The two disciples were slightly surprised. Lin Lan clenched his fist and said with determination:

"Disciple strives to make a breakthrough to the late stage of foundation building!"

At the hour of You, Lin Mao and Kong Yunyi drove the shuttle back to Sinong Palace. They were both smiling happily.

"Greetings, Palace Master. Several late-stage Foundation Establishment alchemists from the Danding Academy and Master Han have personally worked together to refine a total of forty-four Foundation Establishment Pills, eight of which are high-quality pills."

Lin Mao took out a letter and a few jade bottles and said:

"Here is the Foundation Establishment Pill, please take a look."

Originally, he estimated that he would be lucky to get thirty-five or thirty-six pills, or at most five high-quality ones. However, the quantity and quality of the pills he got increased, which was definitely a pleasant surprise.

In this way, there will be at least three or four more foundation-building cultivators.

Ji An took the jade bottle and checked it one by one, then opened the envelope. Senior Sister Han told him that a total of 45 foundation-building pills were refined this time, and one of them was given to Tian Jin, so it was left in the Danding Academy.

He smiled and handed over the jade bottle:

"Distribute the Foundation Establishment Pills to the disciples according to the confirmed list."

He now really wants to know what the probability is for these disciples who regularly consume Jade Dew and Golden Tooth Tea to break through to the foundation-building stage.

"Yes, sir. We'll do it now."

Lin Mao took the jade bottle and put it away carefully.

Kong Yunyi smiled and said:
"In a few days, the disciples will make breakthroughs one after another. Then we will come back to report the good news to the Palace Master."

The new method promoted by the Palace Master has begun to show results. Fewer spiritual farmers in the Qi Refining Stage are cultivating higher quality spiritual plants, and the cultivation time has been significantly shortened.

The sect's Qi Refining disciples have already benefited. When more Foundation Establishment spiritual farmers are cultivated, Foundation Establishment and even Chaoyuan stage cultivators will gradually feel the changes brought about by the Sinong Palace.

As the Sinong Palace grows stronger, his status as the deputy palace master will also rise, and the overall status of the spiritual farmers will also improve accordingly.

The two left, and at the end of the You hour, Ji An received the communication sword.

"Disciple Tian Jin thanks you and has received the Foundation Establishment Pill."

He smiled and nodded, a faint blue flame ignited in his hand, and the talisman sword instantly turned into ashes.

Three days later, the front hall of the Sinong Palace was crowded with people.

Lin Mao couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and said excitedly:
“Reporting to the Palace Master, including the disciples who previously exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills, 66 people have taken the pills recently.

A total of 48 disciples have successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in Sinong Hall has now reached 167."

Seventy percent of the disciples have broken through to the foundation-building stage, far exceeding the previous 50%. In the next ten years, some more disciples will exchange for foundation-building pills, and it is expected that more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators will be able to participate.

"Greetings to the Palace Master!" Many disciples who had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage shouted in unison, each of them looking very high-spirited.

When these disciples entered the sect and were assigned to be spiritual farmers, most of them were very disappointed. However, they happened to be in a good time because the sect was undergoing reforms.

The training environment is better than that of the disciples in the Equipment Refining Hall, Beast Taming Hall and other halls. Now that I can become a foundation-building cultivator, I suddenly feel that being a spiritual farmer is not bad!

After building the foundation, he owns twenty acres of spiritual fields. Whether he grows spiritual medicines or spiritual fruit trees, it is a considerable income.

Life is comfortable and safe. You can complete the sect's tasks in three or four hours every day, and the rest of the time is at your own disposal.

For many disciples, building a foundation is a lifelong dream.

Ji An laughed a few times and said happily:

"Very good, the foundation-building cultivators are the backbone of the sect, and the Sinong Hall will become the sect's most solid cornerstone in the future.

With our support, all other halls can benefit directly or indirectly.

According to the sect's rules, after breaking through the foundation-building stage, you don't have to accept any missions for three years. All you need to do is familiarize yourself with the exercises and practice the planting spells."

He paused, raised his hand and said:

"Of course, we also need to think carefully about what to plant in the allocated spiritual fields."

"Haha," the disciples laughed heartily.

A brave disciple shouted:
"Palace Master, I've heard that there are many rare spiritual fruit trees in your temple. I wonder if we can get some seeds?"

The hall instantly became quiet, and all the disciples looked forward with burning eyes.

Ji An raised his eyebrows and said gently:
"Of course, I can send a batch of seeds and seedlings tomorrow.

The seeds include second-grade medium-quality spiritual peaches, spiritual apricots, dragon blood fruits, Tianyuan pears, bodhi trees, blue dragon trees, earth spirit fruits, green lotus fruits, and red cloud pines. The seedlings include bamboo shoots of Qingling bamboo and Xuanye sword bamboo.

In a few years, I will also send you some seeds of the second-level Blood Soul Xuanyuan Tree, Yunding Jade Tree and Youyue Cangyu Tree.

You can redeem it with contribution points. If you don’t have many contribution points, that’s fine, you can buy on credit.”

He is willing to give out all the seeds that Chiyan Peak has and can release, which can be regarded as a new source of income.

It is unknown how many years it will take these disciples to cultivate second-level spiritual plants, and it will not affect the status of Chiyan Peak at all.

On the contrary, if the entire sect cultivates these spiritual plants on a large scale, it can form an industrial cluster.

In an instant, all the disciples cheered loudly. It was the first time they knew that there were so many kinds of spiritual plants in the temple of the Palace Master, many of which were unheard of.

Lin Mao and Kong Yunyi looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. What a generous move!
The spiritual plants such as the Black Leaf Sword Bamboo, Cloud Top Jade Tree and Youyue Cang Jade Tree can generate good returns after being cultivated to the first-grade top quality.

Ji An pressed his hand down, and when everyone quieted down again, he said:

"Disciples who need seedlings can find the deacon in the warehouse to sign up later. The quantity is limited, and each person is limited to purchasing five of each type.

These spiritual bamboos will grow more bamboo shoots over time, so there's no need to buy more." "Now, let me explain to you the issues of cultivation during the Foundation Establishment Period.

The magic power cultivated through exercises after building the foundation has certain five elements characteristics. I suggest that you choose the type of exercises that are most proficient in magic.

That way, the spells cast will have a stronger effect.

The cultivators in the foundation-building stage need to comprehend the divine will in the cultivation method, and finally stimulate the Yuanming Fire, thereby advancing to the Chaoyuan stage.

The disciples listened very attentively, and Lin Mao and the others also felt that they had gained something.

After Ji An finished speaking, he answered the disciples' questions seriously and instructed:

"Two Palace Masters, once they have chosen their cultivation methods and main attacking spells, reorganize all the foundation-building cultivators in Sinong Palace into groups. After three years, assign each group to look after the medicine garden."

"Yes, sir!" Lin Mao and the other man responded in unison.

"Then let's break up."

All the divine palaces have been opened up, and Ji An likes to spend time improving his cultivation at night, so he rides a cloud to a remote corner of the back mountain and begins to practice magic.

When his spirit and soul were consumed too much, he would practice body-building exercises.

The body-refining technique focuses on refining the body into a precious weapon, which can enhance resistance to various spells and poisons and is effective at all times.

Time flew by quickly, and before he knew it, a sky full of fire clouds was burning in the distance. He finished his training and rode the cloud to the warehouse.

The deacon took out a piece of paper and walked forward, saying:
"Palace Master, this is the number of people who need bamboo shoots. I have saved the detailed list."

Ji An took the paper and glanced at it. "Why is the number so high?"

The number of Qingling bamboos is normal, but more than 700 Xuanyejian bamboos are needed, which far exceeds the needs of new disciples.

The deacon chuckled and explained:
"Many deacons also want to obtain the seedlings grown by Scarlet Flame Peak. Please rest assured, Palace Master, no one will purchase more than five plants."

Ji An laughed, "Since you want to give me contribution points, I will accept them."

The planting area of ​​black-leaf sword bamboo is more than 50 acres, and it is easy to dig more than 700 bamboo shoots.

He rode a cloud to the top of Ningcui Cliff and left via the teleportation array.

After returning to Scarlet Flame Peak, he took out the paper and handed it over:
"Song Tao, take out 70% of the second-grade, mid-grade spirit seeds from the warehouse. Then dig up enough bamboo shoots and send them to the Sinong Palace by flying boat tomorrow."

"As you wish," Wei Songnian took the paper and read it over, saying:
"It would be more suitable to dig it up tomorrow morning. Old Tian and I are too busy to handle so many spiritual plants. We need to hire a few disciples to help."

"You can figure it out."

Ji An absorbed Qi in the spiritual field, then returned to sit cross-legged and practice his skills.

When his magic power was full, he began to practice the Wood Release Technique, his figure moving among the spiritual plants.

Time flies and a year has passed.

In the stone house, Ji An put away the talisman pen, picked up a red talisman and flicked it twice with satisfaction.

This was the 20th Fire Dragon Talisman he had successfully drawn, and its quality reached the second-grade upper grade. The current success rate of talisman making had reached 40%.

"Yes, steady progress."

He put the talisman into the Dongxu Stone and sat down to rest.

Drawing high-level talismans consumes a lot of spiritual energy, which is much more tiring than casting spells.

He can draw the three types of talismans inherited from the sect: the Earth Escape Talisman, the Black Armor Talisman, and the Fire Dragon Talisman.

However, the success rate of the Earth Escape Talisman is the lowest, currently only 10%, and he only has two in his hand.

The Xuanjia Talisman has the highest success rate, reaching nearly 60%, and its quality is second-grade top grade. He has six of them in his hand.

With this skill, you don’t have to worry about running out of money when traveling.

Zhang Cuihua brought over a cup of Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea and said:

"Master, I can only drink one more cup of spiritual tea. Do you need another cup?"

"No, I won't draw any more talismans from now on."

"Then disciple, take the talisman pen out to clean it," Zhang Cuihua picked up the talisman pen and the pen washer and walked out.

Ji An began to close his eyes and rest, but just as he closed his eyes, he heard a "thump" sound, followed by hurried footsteps.

Wei Songtao arrived at the door of the room, slowed down his pace and walked in, his tone unable to hide his joy:

"Master, I was just inspecting the forest and found that the tea trees have begun to produce tea seeds. They are covered by leaves, and the largest ones are already as big as broad beans."

He knew very well that his master had been thinking about tea tree seeds for many years.

Ji An opened his eyes and smiled:

"Which tea tree has seeds?"

He cast a spell for the spiritual field once every four days, and always at night. He had not paid serious attention to the condition of the spiritual plants for a long time.

Occasionally, they would conduct an inspection during the day, also by flying in the clouds, taking a quick look. Unless the spiritual plants were found to have diseases or insect pests, they would not go down to inspect them.

"I checked carefully and found that all three trees had produced seeds. The seeds of the Youyue Cangyu tree were smaller, only the size of soybeans."

"That's right, but unfortunately I have to leave before the seeds mature."

Ji An sighed. It would take at least five or six years for a tea tree of the second-grade medium quality or above to produce seeds.

According to the calculation, the merchant airship from Central Continent will arrive within a year. After that, he will go to see it for himself and then set off for South Continent.

"Song Tao, go and withdraw thirty spirit stones to distribute to everyone so that they can all share in the good fortune. Go now."

"Okay," Wei Songtao left happily.

Ji An watched the cheerful figure disappear from his sight and smiled faintly.

He stood up and walked out of the stone house, calling out loudly:
"long!"

The sound echoed from the distant mountains. A moment later, a green deer emerged from the woods and ran gracefully to its master, "Yo Yo!"

Hanging on its antlers were a few mulberry leaves that sparkled with green luster.

"You idiot, you stole the top-grade mulberry leaves again!"

Ji An scolded and laughed while patting the beast's back. Qinglu had the most abundant supply of resources, and its bloodline was pure. It was now a demon beast at the ninth level of foundation building.

"YoYo!"

Qinglu could understand the meaning of his words, but pretended not to know, blinking his big eyes and pretending to be ignorant.

Ji An slapped it hard and said:
"You're a buck!"

He rode on the green deer and gently grasped its antlers.

"Come on, let's go to the tea tree."

The green deer raised its hooves and ran towards the mulberry fields as if it were familiar with the route.

Ji An touched his chin. He thought he should ask someone to make a few bells, otherwise riding a deer would lack the melodious feeling.
