Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 169 Tianyuan Pear, Dragon Blood Fruit

"Listening to what Junior Brother said, I feel that you have already made up your mind.

Don't worry about the resources needed to upgrade the spiritual fields. I'll report to the Palace Master as soon as I return to the Palace of Labor."

A gratified smile appeared in Ye Changqing's eyes. The sect carried most of his memories, and every action that could make the sect stronger should be supported.

He believed that the sect was a bonfire and everyone was a piece of firewood. If every cultivator could contribute his or her light and heat, why would the sect not prosper?
When the sect becomes strong, it can provide feedback to the disciples, and the two sides will complement each other.

Ji An was stunned for a moment and said:
"Isn't it too early to report now?"

It’s still early to upgrade the spiritual field, so reporting it will put pressure on us.

Ye Changqing waved his hand and said:
“Junior brother, you don’t know that when it comes to the allocation of high-level spiritual objects, the earlier you report, the higher the reward will be. Who knows how many people are waiting in line to use them.

Listen to me, you are right."

He paused and continued:

"Since the copper-patterned mulberry and jade-leaf mulberry trees are growing in size, starting next year, you can hand over a portion of them to the Work Hall.

If we can provide a stable supply of top-quality mulberry leaves, we can also show our face at the Beast Taming Palace."

Copper-veined mulberry is the main food of the golden-bearded silkworm, and jade-leaf mulberry is not only a food for various spiritual silkworms, but also a high-quality feed for various herbivorous monsters.

No matter how much of these two kinds of mulberry leaves there are, they are not enough for the Beastmaster Palace.

Ji An bowed and said:
"I will listen to you, Senior Brother."

He already had a plan to supply the sect, and even if the other party didn't mention it, he would take the initiative to propose it.

Ye Changqing took out two boxes and smiled mysteriously:

"You've been eating and drinking for free here for so many years, Junior Brother. This time, I've prepared two small gifts for you. Open them and take a look!"

Ji An took the box and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

After so many years, it’s not easy to finally receive a gift in return.

One box is only half the size of a palm. Judging from the wood grain, it is made of iron birch, and the other box is probably made of Xuanyang wood.

Ji An first opened the small box, and inside were five brown seeds the size of finger bones with faint blue wavy patterns on them.

Each grain is plump, and if you probe into it with your spiritual sense, you can feel the vitality inside.

He picked up a seed and said:

"If I guess correctly, this should be the Tianyuan pear seed."

Tianyuan Pear is a water-loving spiritual tree that can be planted beside a cold pond.

“Hey, high-level spiritual farmers are different, it is indeed a Tianyuan pear seed, and it is a seed of the second-level low-grade spiritual fruit.

Junior brother, guess what the seeds in the next box will be?"

Ye Changqing clapped his hands and smiled, saying that he had obtained these seeds from Palace Master Zhang.

Freshly baked, the pears were just eaten the day before yesterday.

Ji An happily opened the Xuan Yang wooden box. Inside was a seed the size of a pigeon egg. The surface was stained with flame patterns and it was filled with spiritual light. Occasionally, red light would flash.

Put it in the palm of your hand and it feels warm to the touch.

"I can only tell it's a fire-type spiritual plant, but I'd appreciate any further explanation as to what it is specifically.

He hadn't come into contact with many spiritual species, so he really couldn't recognize this one.

But even if he recognized it, he would say he didn't know. This was a little conversational trick, and it also allowed his senior brother to show off.

Ye Changqing coughed twice, and said in a gentle tone with pride:

"So, Junior Brother, you know, this is a seed from a second-grade, mid-grade dragon blood tree. I spent quite a bit of effort to get it."

He got this from a good friend who had joined Yuanhe Mountain. The seeds went through several hands before they got to him.

"The dragon blood fruit tree that is used to refine the Fire Dragon Refining Heart Pill?"

Ji An had heard of this spiritual fruit at a trade fair. The Fire Dragon Heart Refining Pill was very famous, so he was deeply impressed.

"That's right, Dragon Blood Fruit is also the main ingredient of Dragon Blood Body Tempering Pill, and is very popular among those who have reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage.

Dragon blood fruit contains abundant qi and blood power, and can also delay the decline of qi and blood.

It is also a rare and precious medicine for those cultivators whose Qi and blood are beginning to decline but who want to reach a higher realm."

"I like both of these spirit seeds very much. I will plant them in a few days. When the spirit fruits are ripe, I will give a few to my senior brother first."

Ji An bowed solemnly. He did not say words like thank you, but his gratitude was expressed through practical actions.

Ye Changqing's eyes showed a look of joy, and he smiled:
“Just waiting for what Junior Brother said, I’m waiting.

Alas, I probably won’t be able to see the day when you can grow dragon blood fruit.”

"Brother will definitely be able to eat it."

……

On the second day, Ji An planted Tianyuan pear seeds near the stone house by the cold pond.

After soaking in spiritual spring water last night, the seeds became more juicy.

He planted the trees around the cold pond, about two meters apart, to prevent the spiritual trees from affecting each other.

After planting the spiritual seeds, he released the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique.

The clouds and mist just happened to cover the area where the seeds were planted. Accompanied by the clear and moist rain, the seeds took root and sprouted, and in half a day they grew into three-inch-tall seedlings.

The gray-winged sand goose swam over and stared at these "crystal clear and delicious" saplings with a sneaky look, its black little eyes moving around non-stop.

Ji An glanced at it, pointed at the stone table where they were eating and said coldly:

"If you dare to have any bad ideas, you will be on my dining table immediately." The sand goose screamed and jumped back into the cold pond with its neck retracted.

It’s too serious. It dares not challenge its master’s authority.

It decided to catch more small fish in the next few days to comfort its frightened heart.

Eating fish is very covert, and it is difficult to detect how many spirit fish have been eaten.

Ji An ordered:
"Yuhan, go to the Fire Crystal Ants' nest and bring back some red powder. Forty to fifty kilograms will be enough."

As he said that, he handed the shuttle to the other party.

The dragon blood tree is a fire-element spiritual plant. Its level is definitely not high when it is just planted. Now the level of the fire crystal ants has also increased. Using the powder as fertilizer is a good choice.

"Yes," Xia Yuhan agreed and flew towards the red cloud pine forest in the shuttle.

For cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, daytime is not suitable for cultivation, so she always stays with Ji An during the day, or helps prepare meals.

While Xia Yuhan was moving things, Ji An practiced water control techniques by the pond.

An undercurrent formed a whirlpool under his control. As his fingers were raised, a swirling column of water rose like a dragon sucking water.

After a while, Xia Yuhan controlled the shuttle to land and said:

"Master, I've got the things back. Where did you put them?"

Ji An stopped practicing the spell and instructed her to place the powder in the chosen location.

He pinched his fingers and released the Thick Earth Returning Origin Curse, fully blending the red powder and soil.

After planting the dragon blood tree seeds, he released the Fire Spell to increase the fire spiritual power in the soil.

Although the spiritual plant is of the fire element, it does not require only one of the five elements' power, it just requires more fire element spiritual power.

Even spiritual plants growing in lava need to absorb some earth-type spiritual power from the magma. There is also water-type spiritual power in the magma, which manifests itself in the form of lively "soda".

The orange-red spiritual light gradually dissipated, and Ji An sighed softly. The Fire Spell could no longer meet the growing demand, so he had to find a way to find a fire planting spell at the foundation-building level.

The sect still has too little experience in planting. If he has time, he will go to Qingyun Fairy City and get some information from the monks in Luofeng Valley.

Ji An released the art of spring breeze and rain, and a cloud as big as a millstone appeared above the land, and the moist spiritual rain fell silently on the ground.

Not long after, a red seedling broke through the soil, its branches and leaves as crystal clear as carved fire jade.

A bright yellow fireball appeared in his palm, evaporating the mist.

Unlike several other spiritual fruit trees, the dragon blood tree does not require much water-based spiritual power and is not suitable for excessive rainfall.

At this point, Chiyan Peak had several more spiritual fruit trees, bringing the total to nine.

In the cave, Ji An's body was covered with medicinal mud.

As he activated the Glazed Jade Bone Body, the dust-like metal powder in the medicine powder was like stars in the night sky, sometimes brightening and sometimes dimming.

The energy of Qi and blood filled his muscles and skin with his breathing, and the pleasurable sensation like a steel needle piercing him made his whole body tremble.

Even though he had been through this countless times, it was always new and painful.

Suddenly, Ji An felt his muscles and skin contract violently, like a spasm.

The spine is like a taut bow, and the bowstring continues to contract.

The golden spiritual energy contained in the metal powder in the medicinal mud poured into his body like a flood.

In an instant, all the spirituality was devoured, and all the moisture in the medicinal mud was absorbed, and it collapsed into smoke and dust.

"Ah!"

Ji An took a step forward, exhaled and spoke. The sound was like the clanging of metal, sonorous and powerful, and carried with it a sense of relief.

At this moment, his skin exuded the color of the bright moon, with a sense of quiet and cold light.

At this point, his body refining technique has entered the late stage of Silver Armor, and his skin is comparable to the tough animal skin of the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"It's finally over. I won't practice this technique that consumes so much spirit stones anymore."

Ji An felt as if his teeth had been blown by a cold wind for a long time, and the pulp was cold.

He felt that there was no need to refine the skin to the point of silver armor perfection, because future cultivation would require the consumption of second-level low-grade spiritual objects.

Even with his wealth, he couldn't afford some of the spending.

Once he gets the Apricot Yellow Flag, his defense will be enough for the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With the support of multiple layers of armor, it is estimated that it can block twice the attack of a cultivator who has just entered the Chaoyuan period.

Half a month later.

Ji An stood beside the gourd rack and pinched off the newly grown small gourds.

There are seven purple fire gourd vines, and two gourds are retained on each vine so that the nutrients can be fully supplied to the two gourds.

If left alone, if the vine grows multiple gourds, he can only harvest a bunch of low-level spiritual gourds, which are of no use to him.

The purple fire gourd blooms in one year, grows in one year, and the gourds it produces mature in the third year.

It is very difficult to produce a top-quality gourd within three years.

Ji An planned to grow purple fire gourds as a long-term endeavor. He would choose the most vigorous seeds each time he planted them, and he would always succeed.

His goal is not only to successfully grow a top-quality gourd, but also to cultivate seeds that can stably produce top-quality gourds. This is what an ambitious spiritual farmer should do.

The top-grade purple fire gourd is a very practical magical weapon, and even cultivators in the late stage of foundation building can use it.

His goal is to ensure that every cultivator in the sect who practices fire-based techniques can have his or her own purple fire gourd.

This is not only a source of income, but can also greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the sect's monks, which is definitely what the sect's top leaders would like to see.
