Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 391 Calling for help
Golden Puppet Pavilion.

After hearing his subordinates' report, Fang Shiping frowned slightly and said helplessly:
"What a coincidence! I see. Go ahead and get busy."

His subordinates are his confidants and he believes what they say.

It is very normal for Chaoyuan-stage cultivators to travel outside, and there are many examples where there is not enough five elements of Qi available within the sect's sphere of influence.

For example, in the Jin Kui Sect, after the cultivators opened up the Water Divine Palace and the Wood Divine Palace, they had to go out to travel and consume energy, because these two types of five elements energy were difficult to obtain in the sect.

"I'll take my leave," Liu Anqing turned and left.

He was speechless. He spent a medium-grade spirit stone but failed to do even a small thing. He was worried that it would affect the boss's impression, even though he did nothing wrong.

Fang Shiping went to the fourth floor, recounted the story, and waited for his uncle's instructions.

Yun Feihe laughed after hearing this, "It's not meant to be, what can I do?"

Fang Shiping said:

"It's not without benefits. When the Merchant Alliance's flying boat comes to Xizhou next time, we will have the opportunity to continue investigating.

By then, it should be easy to get the news."

Thirty years have passed since the incident, and the other party would never have guessed their purpose in finding out where the Canglong wood grows.

Yun Feihe raised his eyebrows and said:
“The next time Feizhou comes, it won’t be me, and I’m not sure whether you can come.

However, you can record this information. If you find out the location of the Canglong Wood, you can send our people to look for it.

But don’t get your hopes up too much; a lot can happen in 30 years.”

Ji An and Han Yan were riding on the clouds. Two auspicious clouds of fire were like gorgeous clouds, flying towards the southeast.

They will pass through the jurisdiction bordering the sect and Luofeng Valley, then continue flying for several months, cross the boundary river Kuangsha River, and enter Nanzhou.

Ji An gazed at the distant mountains and said:

"Senior Sister, the mountain ahead is quite high, and there is a deep valley. You can try to eat earth and circulate Qi."

Han Yan raised her eyebrows and said:

"Junior brother has excellent eyesight. He can even see the valley."

She could only make out a high mountain ahead, with a faint crack in it, but she couldn't tell the depth at all.

"Haha, starting from now, the eyesight of the cultivators in the Wood Element Divine Mansion will be enhanced. I am a cultivator who has reached perfection in the Wood Element Divine Mansion."

There was a hint of pride in Ji An's tone. As he was flying, he looked down at everything on the ground crawling under his feet, with the strong wind whistling in his ears, and he felt refreshed.

Looking at the blue sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, looking at the blue sky and climbing the white sun, if Xu Xiake knew his situation today, I wonder how envious he would be.

It's a common saying that if you run too fast, you will die. But if you take a plane, you don't have this problem. After just two quarters of an hour, they arrived at the mountain.

There is a big rock on the top of the mountain, with three powerful and elegant characters engraved on it: Yuhua Mountain.

The originally ochre-red handwriting was now covered with small black dots, and the north side of the stone was covered with moss, narrating the storms of the past.

An unknown weed grew stubbornly, and refused to bow even when bent by the wind.

Ji An took out the jade slip with the map of Xizhou engraved on it and placed it on his forehead, searching for his current location. He grinned and said:
"It's Yuhua Mountain! We've deviated from our direction and are about to enter the Luofeng Valley controlled area."

Flying in the air is indeed fast, but they are not familiar with the route and it is easy for them to take the wrong path.

Han Yan also took out the jade slip, checked the current location, and said with a smile:
"It's common for long-distance flights to deviate from the direction, and we just need to correct it.

Back then, there were no maps, and when we cultivators first arrived in Xizhou, it was difficult to find our way around. We didn't know what to do when we were traveling so far, and there were monsters everywhere."

"It's true that there are monsters everywhere, but there aren't that many flying monsters. And anyone who wants to travel far must be at least a Chaoyuan-stage cultivator, so it shouldn't be that difficult."

The monsters are most particular about allocating territory and dividing hunting areas, so there are not many monsters that cultivators will directly face.

Ji An paused and said:
"Senior Sister, based on my experience, this type of mountain can absorb at most two strands of Wu Earth Qi. Come on, I'll take over when we encounter the next mountain. How about that?"

He now understood why Liu Yu didn't want to travel with others. The earth element's Qi was inherently scattered, and if he were to travel with another person, the efficiency of consuming Qi would not increase at all.

Ji An didn't care. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. A person's journey is inevitably too lonely.

It may not matter in the short term, but if it continues for a long time, a person's personality may undergo some unknown changes.

He believes that spiritual practice is not about being ruthless and desireless, but about facing one's own heart.

He can stay in a bustling place without communicating with others, but he probably can't endure the loneliness of being alone.

It is still necessary to communicate with people of the same kind, even if it is just a few idle chats without any meaning.

"Then I won't be polite."

Han Yan got into position, raised her hands from her lower abdomen, palms facing up, and made a "hu" sound with her mouth.

She kept calling out, changing areas from time to time, for half a quarter of an hour, and said with a smile:
"Junior brother's experience is very accurate, I only consume two strands of Qi.

Let's go to the valley."

Ji An nodded slightly and took out the golden-winged bird puppet from the virtual space.

The view is wide at the top of the mountain, and you can discover anything immediately. You must be on guard when entering a deep valley.

He took out the Golden Feathered Eagle from the Spirit Beast Bag, raised the puppet in his hand and ordered:

"This is your new companion, please take good care of him.

Later, you will give early warning in the air. If there are any monks or large flying monsters approaching, sound the alarm immediately."

The golden-winged eagle stared at the bird with sharp eyes, and there was hostility in its black pupils, but despite this, it nodded obediently.

Ji An noticed its mood change and said with a smile:

"You're jealous! It's a puppet, lifeless, and it has no conflict with you."

He communicated with the Beastmaster mentally and briefly explained what a puppet was.

The golden-winged eagle let out a joyful chirp and happily spread its wings to fly. Ji An raised his hand and released the golden-winged bird.

"Junior brother, you are so cautious," Han Yan said with a smile. It was reassuring to have such a serious and responsible companion.

"Hehe, I've suffered losses before, so I have to be cautious." Han Yan suddenly became interested and asked curiously:

"Tell me in detail what kind of loss you have suffered."

Ji An looked at his companion's expression of eating melons, grinned and said:

"Talking about my unhappiness makes you happy, right?"

The two of them joked as they descended into the valley on a cloud.

There should be a hidden spring in the valley, and the soil is very moist.

While his senior sister was breathing heavily, Ji An released the golden retriever and ordered it to search to see if there would be any gains.

Han Yan finished breathing and said with a smile:
"Junior brother, I have eaten two strands of Qi. Can you try to see if you can still eat Qi?

When you encounter the next mountain, you may not necessarily encounter a valley or a cave."

Without valleys and caves, the gathered earth energy will wander in the earth veins, making it difficult to find the exact place to consume energy.

"Ok."

Ji An was not polite. Without him making any gestures, he pursed his lips like a tube and made a "whoosh" sound.

After three breaths, he said:

"Yes, two strands of food energy."

He judged that there must be a water vein nourishing the ground, and ordinary mountain spring water could not bring about such changes.

Han Yan smiled and nodded, releasing her own Golden Feather Eagle and said:
"Let's take the beast and continue our journey. We've been flying for two hours straight and have used up a lot of our mana."

The first priority when traveling in the wild is to keep your mana as full as possible.

"That's right."

Ji An summoned the golden retriever back and put it back into the spirit beast bag, then rode the cloud into the air.

He took the golden-winged bird away, checked the stored information from the patrol just now, and then rode the beast forward.

He took out a medium-grade spirit stone and used his skills to absorb the spiritual energy inside.

Chaoyuan-stage cultivators have strong immunity to the violent spiritual energy in spirit stones, so it is a good choice to use it to restore mana.

Ji An clasped his hands together and crushed the spirit stone that had lost all its spiritual energy into powder. The gray residue dissipated in the wind.

"Senior Sister, you take charge of guiding the direction while I practice the Silk Pulling Spell."

Who says there are no benefits to eating air together?

"Okay," Han Yan agreed. She had a new understanding of her junior fellow apprentice's diligence.

"Brother, it will be dark soon, let's land."

Ji An was awakened by his senior sister's words. He looked at the stone turtle and nodded slightly with satisfaction.

[Spell: Thread Pulling Spell (56% for beginners)]

"Senior Sister, what area are we below now? If we can clearly determine the direction, we can fly for another hour at night."

The sooner you arrive in Nanzhou, the sooner you can break through to the fourth level of Chaoyuan Stage.

Han Yan shook her head and said:

"There are no obvious signs ahead, and it's difficult to tell the direction when flying at night."

"Then land and set up camp."

Ji An patted the golden eagle's back, signaling it to start landing.

The two found an open area, and he said:

"Senior Sister, you'll be in charge of the first half of the night, and I'll be in charge of the second half. We'll rotate every few days. What do you think?"

The second benefit of traveling with companions becomes apparent. If you travel alone, you have to sleep with one eye open at night.

"That makes sense. Take a rest, Junior Brother."

Ji An nodded slightly and released all the beasts from the spirit beast bag.

The place immediately became lively, with the presence of the Blue Water Turtle, the Spirit-Seeking Rat, the Golden-Winged Eagle, and the Rock-Armored Bear, all of a sudden the place was filled with demonic energy.

There are many large swamps in Nanzhou, so bringing a blue water turtle should come in handy.

"Junior brother, you have so many beasts to tame. Now you look more like a cultivator from the Beast Taming Palace."

Ji An laughed dryly, "I still haven't brought two beasts with me!"

He assigned several beasts to guard areas, released the Garuda and Storm Eagle, and said with a smile:
"Senior Sister, can you lend me three high-grade spirit stones?"

The Storm Thunder Eagle Puppet has not yet been equipped with the driving spirit stone. It is just in standby mode and the puppet does not consume many spirit stones.

Taking the spirit stone handed over by his senior sister, Ji An installed the spirit stone on the puppet, then took out a cushion, sat down cross-legged, and began to recite the Five Elements Rotating Sutra.

He wants to replace rest with cultivation.

The night fell, and after an unknown amount of time, a high-pitched, panicked cry came from afar, waking Ji An from his practice.

"Help!"

Han Yan came over and said warily:

"Brother, did you hear the cry for help?"

"heard it."

Han Yan asked with some embarrassment:
"Now how to do?"

When traveling, one should try to avoid trouble, but she felt a little sorry when she heard the panic in the cries for help.
