Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 57 Preparation
Ji An nodded firmly:

"Even though staying in the sect is safe, it would be a waste of time if I didn't have the foundation-building pill after reaching the perfection of Qi Refining. I'm already at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and I've been practicing fighting magic for the past two years without slacking off.

If I prepare two more magical weapons, my apparent combat capability will not be inferior to those veteran demon hunting disciples.

After just a few actual battles, you can quickly transform from a novice to an experienced player."

The sooner you advance to the foundation-building stage, the more likely you are to be noticed by the sect. It is not worth wasting time.

Even if they are cultivators at the same foundation-building stage, they will receive different treatments.

He has used all his strength to just reach the eighth level of Qi Refining. One can imagine how difficult it will be after the Foundation Establishment stage.

When hunting monsters in the wild, spiritual medicines encountered along the way are also a big part of the harvest. If you are lucky enough to find the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill, you can get the Foundation Establishment Pill first.

"Hey"

Wei Songnian sighed softly, and the excitement in his heart diminished a little.

If his family had not suddenly given him great support this time, he would have had to wait a few more years to accumulate enough contribution points.

He stopped talking and began to count the talismans.

"56 low-grade talismans, 20 spirit crystals each, 14 mid-grade water curtain talismans, 40 spirit crystals each, 11 mid-grade Gengjin talismans, 35 spirit crystals each."

Wei Songnian muttered while doing a quick mental calculation:
"A total of 20 Spirit Stones and 65 Spirit Crystals.

With Junior Brother's current talisman-making skills, if he has enough talisman paper and ink, he will be able to earn crystals quickly."

Ji An shook his head and said with a smile:

“With the huge increase in consumption, the price of talismans has increased a bit, but the prices of various materials have also increased.

There are many disciples in the Qi Refining Stage in the sect, and there are quite a few talisman makers. It's not a unique business, and the profits are not that huge, but it's also a hard-earned income."

"Brother, do you have any familiar weapon refiners who can help me inquire about the price of the magic weapon?

I want to buy a medium-grade defensive magic weapon and a low-grade offensive magic weapon.

The best defensive weapon is a shield, and for offensive weapons, I want a heavy weapon, like a hammer or a mountain and river seal."

The only weapon refiner he knew was Zhang Yuanshan, but the other party had been staying in Moya Mountain, and the cost of communication was too high.

Ji An's mind connected with the stone turtle for a moment.

[Spell: Object Control (Perfection 27%)

Wind Control (75% minor success)

Water Curtain (11% complete)

Gengjin Index (87% success)

The reason why monks like to use magic weapons is that controlling magic weapons consumes less mana. If the magic spells are not well understood, it is more reliable to use magic weapons.

Most Qi Refining disciples prefer to choose knives, swords and the like as their attacking instruments. Firstly, these sharp instruments are faster to wield and can cause relatively greater damage. Secondly, wielding heavy instruments consumes more mana.

Ji An's Gengjin Finger is close to perfection. In the next few days, he will spend more time practicing Gengjin Finger and practice it to the perfect level, which can completely replace the middle and low-grade sword-type magic weapons.

After mastering the art of controlling the wind to a high level, the magic power he controls is enough to get around, and the only thing he lacks is experience.

Wei Songnian nodded slightly:
"Let me ask Senior Brother Cui Yuan. His magic tools are slightly more expensive than the market price, but their quality is well-known.

Are you anxious, Junior Brother? If you want to expedite the order, it will cost you an extra amount of crystals."

"Don't worry, the two magical instruments will be ready within half a year."

Ji An responded that he had never dealt with Senior Brother Cui, and if one wanted to buy a magic weapon, he would have to pay for it and receive the goods, and there was no way to buy it on credit.

In a month or so, after harvesting this season's green corn and talisman grass and obtaining spirit stones, he will have enough crystals to buy magic tools.

“Okay, I got it.

Come, let's drink. I've exchanged for the Foundation Establishment Pill, so I won't have any big expenses in the future. If you're short of crystals, I can help you out."

Ji An picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

After drinking and eating to his heart's content, Ji An bid farewell to Wei Songnian and headed straight for Cuizhu Peak.

Zhao Mengyao, wearing a blue gauze skirt, walked over with gentle lotus steps:

"According to the date, Junior Brother Ji shouldn't come until next month. How come you have time to come to my place today?"

Her eyebrows were picturesque, and the joy in her eyes could not be hidden.

With the family's efforts, she will be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill in five years.

With her superior qualifications and the Foundation Establishment Pill, she has at least an 80% chance of establishing her foundation.

Ji An's eyes lit up, and he smiled innocently:
"I miss my senior sister."

The girl's figure became more and more exquisite, and coupled with the extraordinary physique of a cultivator, her skin was as delicate as white porcelain, which made him, a man who rarely saw female cultivators, imagine a lot.

"cut!"

Zhao Mengyao rolled her eyes and pretended to sneer:

"I don't know you yet! Tell me, what's the matter."

She knew that this junior fellow, apart from cultivating spiritual fields and making talismans, practiced magic in his own courtyard and had almost no other entertainment.

Witnessing how the other person has grown from an ordinary disciple with no one to rely on to where he is today, she still admires him very much.

“I came to Cuizhu Peak specifically to see my senior sister.

Of course, since I'm here, I'll buy another batch of medicinal herbs."

Ji An paused and continued:
"Senior Sister, I haven't seen Senior Brother Chu He in the past few years. Are you in touch with him?"

"Senior Brother Zhang helped contact a monster hunting team with a good reputation. One of the team members died, so Chu He filled the vacancy.

They have been staying in Moya Mountain for the past two years and are said to have had a good harvest.

What are you going to do?

Ji An repeated the news he had received and expressed his intention to participate in the monster hunt.

Zhao Mengyao frowned slightly, and sighed after a long time:

“The competition for Foundation Establishment Pills is indeed becoming increasingly fierce, so it’s a good idea to make plans early.

What are you planning to do by contacting Chu He? You also said that you have spiritual fields to take care of and it is impossible for you to participate in monster hunting all year round.

"A mature team won't let you join unless you can find teammates whose schedules match yours, or wait for a team to recruit temporarily.

However, if you don't know the background of these temporary recruitment teams, I advise you not to join them. Some people may look very kind in the sect, but who knows what they will become in the wild."

"Senior Sister, what you said makes sense. I just want to join Senior Brother Chu's team in my free time to learn from their experience, or Senior Brother Chu can help introduce me to a trustworthy team that happens to be in need."

Ji An said that among the people he knew, only Chu He was fighting on the front line of monster hunting, so of course he would ask Chu He for help.

"How is your fighting skill, Junior Brother? Are the magical weapons you will use ready?"

“I’m currently purchasing magical instruments, and over the past two years, I’ve been diligently practicing combat magic, which has been quite effective.

However, without actual combat experience, his fighting skills should be mediocre."

No matter how well most people train, they are still rookies on the battlefield. Only after going through the test of blood and fire can they become elite.

Ji An raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"Senior Sister, I have the advantage, have you forgotten my beast control?
The Spirit Seeking Rat is now a fifth-level Qi Refining monster. It has brought home anything with even a hint of spiritual energy within a few miles of my bamboo house."
