Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 97 Purple Gold Copper, Meteorite Iron

Fluffy white clouds are like clusters of flowers, wandering in the clear and transparent blue sky.

Two imperial beasts soared side by side, one was a slender and elegant black and white crane, the other was a sturdy sand goose with gray feathers and horizontal stripes.

The crane's cry is clear and the wild goose's cry is deep, like the harmonious sound of a zither and a qin.

Li Lingyu watched the beastmaster leave behind his disciples riding the talisman birds one by one, and then looked down at the mountains and forests that were quickly passing by below, and shook his head imperceptibly.

The beastman landed in the Qi Refining Hall area of ​​​​Chitong Mountain. Ji An and the others walked along the mountain path for a while and stopped at the entrance of the forbidden area.

He took out the communication sword and recorded the information with his spiritual sense, then gently threw a silver light upwards and sank into the magic ban.

"Sister, please be patient, we will wait for a while."

"Don't worry," Li Lingyu gently stroked the white feathers on the back of the Qingyu Crane and sighed softly:
"I've gotten used to riding the beast these past few days, so I'll definitely feel uncomfortable using the Talisman Bird again.

The sect's leasing business should help sell more beasts."

After enjoying the faster way of traveling, if they have enough crystals, I am afraid that most disciples will choose to buy flying beasts.

"I think after Senior Sister establishes her foundation, she will definitely buy a beast control and a flying boat as soon as possible."

Although foundation-building cultivators can control the wind by themselves, their speed is not superior to that of flying beasts, so cultivators still need to rely on external objects when traveling.

In addition to special flying magic tools, foundation-building monks can also control magic tools to fly. If they do not pursue extreme speed, the mana consumption will be much less than riding the wind.

It is said that when sword cultivators reach the stage where their body and sword become one, they can use flying swords to fly into the sky and hide in the ground, which is called sword escape. Their escape speed is faster than that of people who are several small realms higher than themselves, and no one at the same level can match their speed.

“You have to buy the beast tamer, but forget about the flying boat.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, unless they are traveling with a large group of people, it is better to use a flying shuttle."

Li Lingyu smiled and said that the shuttle can only carry two people at most, but it focuses more on speed and is more practical.

As the two were chatting, a beam of fire flew over from a distance.

"Junior brothers and sisters, thank you for waiting for a long time."

Zhang Yuanshan's hearty laughter was heard. He learned from Zhao Mengyao that Ji An had actually become a disciple of Ningcui Ya's lineage. He knew in his heart that the other party would definitely be able to establish a foundation.

In terms of seniority, Ge Ying from Ningcui Cliff is his uncle, well-known in the sect for his alchemy and planting.

So he directly called them junior brothers and sisters, showing a clearer intention of closeness.

Ji An bowed and said, "I'm sorry to bother you today, Senior Brother."

He introduced the two of them again, and after greeting each other, the three of them flew to Zhang Yuanshan's cave.

Arriving at the cave, Zhang Yuanshan instructed his attendants:
"Make a pot of silver tea."

"I'm sorry to bother you, Senior Brother. I came here today to ask for a favor.

My senior sister and I happened to find some items for refining weapons. We don't know what they are, so please help us take a look at them."

Ji An said as he took out everything from the storage bag.

Two magic weapon blanks and more than a dozen pieces of mineral materials.

Zhang Yuanshan picked up the magic weapon blank and wondered where it came from.

The magic weapon has been half refined, and all that is left is to engrave the runes and add the magic ban. No weapon refiner will sell the semi-finished product because it is difficult to sell it at a high price, and the effort would be wasted.

He pinched his fingers and a yellow flame emerged from his fingertips, burning the embryo of the magic weapon to verify what materials were inside.

After a while, he put down the blank and shook his head slightly:

"These two are both defensive magical weapons. The main material is Red Mountain Copper, with wind-milled copper and black iron essence added. However, the refining technique is a bit crude, and the material ratio is not right, so good raw materials are wasted."

Zhang Yuanshan picked up the ore again to identify it, carefully weighed the weight, and said with a smile:

"This black piece is purple gold copper ore, these gray pieces are meteorite iron ore, and this piece of light yellow metal is wind-milled copper.

They are all materials for refining top-grade magical instruments. Purple-gold copper and meteorite iron can be used as materials for refining second-level spiritual instruments and are quite valuable."

Li Lingyu's eyes showed some joy. The materials of spiritual weapons are much more valuable. She looked at Ji An.

After their eyes met, Ji An said:

"Brother, what is the value of these things? Please help me estimate their price.

Whether it's the magic weapon embryo or the materials, there's no use for us to keep them, so we want to dispose of them and exchange them for some spirit stones."

The attendant served the spiritual tea, and Zhang Yuanshan said with a smile:
"Drink some tea first."

Several people took a few sips of tea from their cups, and Zhang Yuanshan pondered:
"If we sell them in the sect, the magic weapon blanks can only be sold for the price of the materials. My estimate for the two blanks is about 180 spirit stones.

Purple gold copper ore can be sold for 120 spirit stones. Junior brothers and sisters can go find someone else to appraise it. It should be about the same price."

Li Lingyu's eyes lit up as he listened to the quotation and he nodded slightly.

Ji An saw the expression on his senior sister's face and understood:

"Brother, are you willing to take over these materials?"

"If my junior brothers and sisters trust me, I am certainly willing to buy it. Second-level materials are still very attractive to me."

"Brother, you're joking. Of course I believe it."

If I don’t trust you, I won’t come to you, Ji Anxin said.

Before coming, he had wanted to ask the other party for a jade slip about common mineral materials, but now he refused to mention it, and the conversation fell flat as soon as he said it.

"There are four hundred and ninety spirit stones in total. To make it an even number, I'll pay five hundred.

"But I can only take out 300 spirit stones right now. I'll have to give you some time to get the rest. You can take out the remaining spirit stones in a month." Zhang Yuanshan felt a little embarrassed. The expenses after building the foundation were even greater, and he had a lot of refining materials on hand. Taking out 300 spirit stones was his limit.

Ji An took out the Stone Turtle Shield and the Sky Net Umbrella and said:

"Yes, we have another favor to ask of you. Can you please repair these two magical instruments, brother?"

Zhang Yuanshan picked up the magic weapon and examined it, his eyes narrowed slightly:

"Are you in conflict with the monks?"

Both the shield and the umbrella had many marks of being pierced by sharp objects, and the Tianluo umbrella had several large holes punctured in it.

"It's our bad luck that we encountered a robbery cultivator outside the sect."

This kind of thing does not need to be kept secret, so Ji An briefly recounted the incident, but did not mention the location of the incident and the level of the enemy.

"They actually attacked the sect's disciples. Did you report this to the Law Enforcement Hall?"

Zhang Yuanshan said angrily that the sect had an unwritten rule that everyone must unite and face the outside world when involved in external conflicts.

“The report has been made to the Law Enforcement Hall.

Brother, the storage bag was also made by a weapon refiner. I'd like to ask, is there any way to detect certain specific items in the storage bag?"

Ji An thought about the medicinal powder smeared on the spirit stone.

"Some spiritual objects in heaven and earth form their own space, on which Dao patterns are born. Those great cultivators study the Dao patterns and draw out the space magic prohibitions.

The storage bag was made by a weapon refiner using low-level space materials and space restrictions. There is indeed a secret technique that can detect the contents of the storage bag."

Zhang Yuanshan briefly introduced the principles of refining the storage bag and sighed:

"High-level storage bags are better, as they are difficult to detect due to the strict restrictions. However, if a high-level cultivator is proficient in this kind of secret technique, the storage bags of low-level disciples will be completely visible to them."

After a while, Ji An and the other man stood up to say goodbye. Zhang Yuanshan took out three hundred spirit stones and said:
"Junior brother, take this first. The cost of materials for repairing the magic weapon will be deducted next time."

Outside the Red Copper Mountain, Li Lingyu slowed down the speed of the beast and said:
"Junior brother, I have to go to Luoxia Mountain to return the beast. I will say goodbye now."

She planned to go into seclusion after returning and try to prepare for foundation building as soon as possible.

"Okay, the captured flying boat won't be easy to sell for a while, so Senior Sister will keep it for transportation for now."

After the two separated, Ji An flew to the General Affairs Hall to buy some talisman grass seeds.

The talisman grass has reached its harvest season and should have been harvested by Huang Feihu and others, so it needs to be replanted.

He had some extra contribution points, so this time he bought enough talisman grass seeds to plant a hundred acres and green corn seeds to plant twenty acres, so as to save himself from wasting time running back and forth.

After leaving the General Affairs Hall, Ji An went to the Bishui Market again and found Wei Songnian.

The master restricted his travel, so from now on, the sales of talismans will have to be entrusted to him.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother, I'll take care of this matter."

Wei Songnian wrote down the list of stores that supplied goods and agreed with a pat on his chest.

Xindao will enjoy different treatment after becoming a disciple, and there is a high possibility that the other party will establish the foundation earlier than him in the future.

"If I can open a shop in Qingyun Immortal City in the future, I will also ask Junior Brother to supply me with goods."

"No problem. Maybe I'll be able to draw some best-selling talismans by then."

Ji An was silent for a moment, then continued:
"Brother, my spirit-hunting rat discovered a special medicinal powder on a spirit stone given in a certain shop."

He didn't continue, but Wei Songnian already understood what he meant.

"When did this happen?"

"The first time it happened was two months ago, and the second time a few days ago."

Wei Songnian rolled his eyes several times and said in a deep voice:
"What are you going to do, brother?"

"I won't make it public for now, I'll slowly settle the score later. So, there's a certain risk involved in helping me sell the talismans, brother."

Ji An said that this incident only proved that the other party was a suspect. Unless solid evidence could be obtained, it would be difficult to get any results by reporting it to the sect.

Those who open shops in Qingyun Fairy City all have some connections.

"I will be careful, but don't worry. When I went to the Immortal City, I took the sect's flying boat, and when I came back, I traveled with a dozen or so fellow disciples who were in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Junior brother, you need to be more careful in the future."

Wei Songnian said, slapping his forehead:

Master Ge has issued an order that Junior Brother will be a Foundation Establishment cultivator when he leaves the sect again, so he shouldn't be bothered by this matter."

After discussing the matter, Ji An flew back to the spiritual field of Bishui Lake.

The talisman grass had indeed been harvested. After casting a spell to sow the seeds, he returned to the courtyard, took out two wooden beads to stimulate the wood element's spiritual energy to spread into the courtyard, and then released the Fire Curse and Thick Earth Art in turn.

Wood generates fire. Properly supplementing the wood element's spiritual energy can stimulate the medicinal properties of fire-attributed spiritual plants. This is a little trick I learned from my master in the medicine garden.

After half an hour, most of the fire spiritual energy was absorbed by the spiritual plant, and he pinched the magic formula to release the small cloud rain technique.

Clouds and mist rolled over the courtyard, and the spiritual plants stretched their branches and leaves in the light rain.

Ji An left the courtyard, closed the ban, and flew to Huang Feihu's yard on a gray-feathered sand goose.

There were several wooden sheds outside the courtyard, with bundles of golden talisman grass stacked on them. Several people in the courtyard were busy making talisman paper.
