Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 166 Mo Shan's Visit
The breeze blows, the green waves roll and the leaves rustle, playing a pleasant and magnificent symphony.

For the spiritual farmers, this is the sound of nature.

"Brother, there are 256 plants in total. Is the number correct?"

Ji An said softly, trying to keep his tone free of emotion so as not to irritate the other person.

If you win the bet, the other party will lose badly, so there is no need to act like a villain.

According to their original agreement, they would provide the raw materials and site, the other party would provide the technology, and after the deal was done, the profits would be split 60% to 40%.

Of course, he couldn't give nothing.

Du Huaiyuan bared his teeth and gave a bitter smile:
"I lost, I am convinced."

However, he soon became cheerful again and laughed:
"It's not appropriate to make this kind of bet with you again. I'm really losing out by not taking the promised benefits."

In the past, most of his brewing materials were first-grade, top-quality spiritual fruits and medicines, and he rarely had large quantities of top-quality materials to use.

In the future, there will be more and more top-quality emerald leaf mulberries here, and the profits he can obtain will be relatively greater.

More importantly, brewing high-level spiritual wine made him happy, even happier than improving his cultivation.

Du Huaiyuan reached out and patted Ji An on the shoulder and asked:
"How did you do it? I had already assessed it when we made the bet. Theoretically, it's impossible for so many top-grade Lingsang to appear.

Of course, if it involves your secret method, you don’t have to answer.”

He must be confident when he makes the bet, otherwise why would he make the bet when he is bound to lose?

Ji An smiled, revealing his eight snow-white teeth. He stamped his foot vigorously and asked:

"Brother, have you noticed that the soil here is slightly different from before?"

Du Huaiyuan's attention was drawn to his feet. He squatted down to take a closer look and grinned:

"Junior brother, I'm sorry to trouble you. I haven't paid attention to the soil quality here before."

His attention was all focused on Lingsang, and he never cared about the kind of land under his feet.

Ji An felt as if he was performing for a blind man. He pinched his fingers to dig and released the Thick Earth Return to Origin Mantra. A warm spiritual light spread across his skin, and a sense of depth followed.

"My secret method is simple. It involves elevating the Thick Earth Returning Origin Spell to its peak power."

Du Huaiyuan had an urge to beat someone up, and gritted his teeth and said:

"You said it's easy to improve magic to its full potential? Speak human language!"

So much so, he never brought any one spell to its full potential.

Among the people he knew, only those veteran Qi Refining ninth-level cultivators and veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators who had no hope of establishing a foundation had this ability.

Take the water-controlling technique, which he is best at, as an example. He uses this technique when refining pills and brewing wine. It can be said that it is completely integrated into his life and practice.

But I can feel that I am still a little short of reaching the ultimate.

Du Huaiyuan felt the Dharma slowly seeping into the soil, and he sighed deeply, his self-esteem hurt!

The Thick Earth Returning to Origin Mantra is a spell that cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage learn. My junior brother has only been in the Foundation Establishment Stage for more than a decade. Doesn’t he feel a bottleneck in his practice of the spell?
I wonder how powerful this talent would be if he learned earth-based techniques.

He waved his hand and said:

"I'm going to go back and prepare for the winemaking process. Send some people to pick fresh mulberries."

He paused and then said:
"We won't use the mid-quality mulberries to make wine."

If you have good ones, you won’t want to use bad ones anymore.

Ji An nodded slightly:

"I will send Feihu out to recruit people now. Forty percent of the premium mulberry wine will still be given to Senior Brother."

"No need. I'll accept the loss. I'll just have a few more drinks when I come to Scarlet Flame Peak next time."

Du Huaiyuan did not agree. Of course he had to keep his promise to the bet he proposed, otherwise it would seem that he could not afford to lose.

He showed a flattering smile, rubbed his hands and said:
"Junior brother, how many kilograms of second-grade pine nuts can be used to brew pine nut wine this year?"

"I estimate that it is at most 200 kilograms. I have reached an agreement with a senior brother that we need to use 800 kilograms to purchase spiritual objects for three consecutive years."

Ji An replied that he estimated that after deducting Li Yuangong's share, there would only be three or four hundred kilograms left. After roasting a batch of pine nuts as a favor, there would not be much left.

Du Huaiyuan said with great sorrow:

"such a pity!"

"buzz"

A white jade bee flew past the two of them. Du Huaiyuan's eyes lit up again and he smiled:

"This year's honey harvest is going to be good. What grade has the queen bee reached now?"

Honey and royal jelly are both good things. Now Chiyan Peak has a large amount of high-quality honey sources, and in the future it will continuously produce various high-level spiritual objects.

"The queen bee is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. The colony's expansion speed is much slower than that of the Fire Crystal Ants."

When the two returned to the winery, all the raw materials had been moved down and put into the warehouse.

Du Huaiyuan smiled and said:
"Junior brother, we need to build an underground warehouse to store the spirit wine. The cold pond can't hold it all."

Ji An nodded:

"arrange."

……

As mulberries matured in large quantities, Du Huaiyuan became extremely busy, and so did Huang Feihu and others.

Chiyan Peak recruits ten to twenty disciples to help every day, but even so, the manpower is still not enough.

By the cold pond, Mo Shan habitually reached out to grab some mulberries to eat, only to find that the plate was empty again.

He patted his belly and laughed:
"Haha, I accidentally ate a bit too much. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

This was the third plate of top-quality mulberries he had eaten. The Jade Leaf Mulberry was a wood-element spiritual plant, and since he practiced fire-element cultivation, it tasted especially delicious, and the mana in his body seemed to have become more active. Ji An said:

“What’s the value? I’ll ask someone to pick some more, so that Senior Brother can have a good time today.

I haven't congratulated you yet on your successful breakthrough into the late stage of foundation building. I'll give you some later."

More than a month ago, the other party was still looking to buy the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, and now he has achieved his wish and made a breakthrough.

The two of them had just completed a considerable transaction. Ji An sold copper-patterned mulberry leaves and earned more than 700 spirit stones.

The two parties agreed to supply goods every six months, which would bring in a steady stream of profits.

The effect of the Great Perfection level Thick Earth Return to Origin Mantra began to show clearly, and its effect on the metal and earth spirit trees was equally powerful. The four earth spirit fruit trees had all been cultivated to the top level.

In the Copper-patterned Mulberry Field on the Red Flame Peak, there are more than 120 top-quality mulberry trees, and their number is growing steadily.

"Thank you, Junior Brother. I see you're still brewing wine. Forget it. When you make top-quality mulberry wine, remember to let me know.

I like this drink too."

Ji An nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Of course. My senior brother told me that mulberry wine tastes best when it's stored in a cellar for three years after brewing. I'll let Senior Brother Mo know then."

"it is good."

Mo Yuan smiled heartily. The spiritual wines above the best grade in the sect were not enough for the many drunkards in the weapon refining hall to consume.

Now that he has a new opportunity, how can he not be happy?
He coughed lightly and continued:
"Junior brother was buying up the Xuan Huang soil a few days ago. I wonder if he got what he wanted?
If not, I recently bought a pound of it and I can give it to you."

Ji An was overjoyed and said:

"I'm still short of half a pound. Senior Brother is really helping me in my time of need. Senior Brother, do you want spirit stones or other spiritual objects in exchange?"

After obtaining the Xuanhuang soil, the only material left for the Xinghuang flag was the flag surface.

As soon as Liu Suyun collects enough golden-spotted spider silk, she can start weaving.

Now, he finally felt the benefits of having a wide network of contacts, but all of this was based on his ability to meet the needs of others.

This spiritual field will continue to be cultivated in the future, and we will move into the high-end route.

When he can provide a stable and large supply of second-grade low-grade spiritual objects, he will have a place in the sect.

"I have no shortage of spirit stones, but I wonder if Junior Brother has any red flame iron? Or other refining materials would be fine too."

Mo Shan said that he was a weapon refiner and could earn spirit stones very quickly, and all kinds of weapon refining materials were what he needed.

"Yes, how do I exchange it?"

"We're bartering. The two materials are of equal value. How about half a pound of Xuan Huang clay for half a pound of Chi Yan iron?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, please wait a moment. I will go to the cave to get it."

After Ji An finished speaking, he activated the flying shuttle and flew towards the cave on the mountainside.

The setting sun shone on the water, making it shimmer. Ji An squatted by the cold pond, practicing the art of controlling the water, forming several small whirlpools at his fingertips.

Du Huaiyuan sat down on the chair and took a long breath.
"I'm exhausted."

After more than a month of hard work, the mulberry wine was finally brewed. It only needed to ferment for a few years before it could be sold.

Ji An turned his head and said:
"Brother, you've worked hard. I'll catch a red grouper for dinner."

The red grouper is the most expensive spiritual fish in the cold pond. It also has the most delicious meat and contains the most spiritual energy. A batch of it must be handed over to the sect every year.

"I'll come. Fishing is a good pastime."

Du Huaiyuan walked to the edge of the cold pond, squatted down, and performed the water control technique.

The red grouper is a deep-water fish that lives in the lower layers of cold ponds.

The moment the spell was released, Du Huaiyuan felt that everything seemed a little different.

Controlling the water flow seemed to become an extension of his body. His consciousness dissolved into the water and he could feel the tiny vortices stirred up by the flapping of fish's tails in the deep water.

A flash of inspiration came to him, and he controlled the water flow and caught a fish that was nearly three feet long. Its bright red scales sparkled in the setting sun.

Ji An was surprised:

"So fast?"

Red grouper is very difficult to catch. It usually takes him at least a quarter of an hour to catch one.

"Haha."

Du Huaiyuan laughed loudly, withdrew his magic power and let go of the red grouper in his hand.

The spirit fish splashed on the water surface, dived quickly and disappeared in the green waves.

Du Huaiyuan used the water control technique again, and a two-and-a-half-foot red grouper was pulled out of the water.

Ji An was stunned and asked:
"Brother, how did you do that? Did you master some secret technique? Teach me!"

Du Huaiyuan smiled reservedly and said:
"My secret method is simple. It involves elevating the Water Control Technique to its peak."

He looked at Ji An with interest, anticipating his next expression.

'That's it? ’

Ji An didn't say what was in his heart, his eyes were filled with horror, and after a breath, he bowed and said:
"Congratulations, brother! I wonder when I'll ever reach your level."

He sighed again, and his eyes turned into envy.

The other party has worked so hard to make wine for so long without any compensation, so he deserves to be rewarded with emotional value.

"Haha, let's eat this tonight!"

Du Huaiyuan felt relieved. Although the Water Control Technique was just a basic spell, without sufficient understanding of water magic, he would definitely not have reached his current level.
