Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 295 The Ancestor's Preaching
Jia Yu was in a good mood. Three disciples of the sect had made breakthroughs, so there were three banquets waiting for him.

Apart from anything else, there should be enough good wine at the banquet, at least second-grade low-quality spirit wine.

Yue Yunlong nodded slightly and said:
“When it comes to my own spiritual practice, I will ask all my questions even if I feel nervous.”

He paused, smiled bitterly, and continued:

“I have been practicing in secret these days, but the seventy-two meridian nodes on the surface of the spleen have not yet been fully opened up.

It always feels like I’m not getting the right method, and progress is slow.”

He practiced the Earth Element Kung Fu, and the place where the meridian patterns were concentrated was the spleen.

But when he broke through to the Chaoyuan stage, the area covered by the veins was only 70%, and there were 51 nodes opened up.

After more than half a month of hard practice, he managed to open up three nodes.

This is just the outer node, and the speed of opening up the inner nodes will only be slower.

Li Yuangong echoed with deep feeling:
"Opening the palace is a painstaking process. It took me more than three months to open up all the outer vein patterns, and I am currently opening up the first inner vein pattern.

I don’t know how long it will take to open up the entire Fire Palace.”

For a Chaoyuan-stage cultivator, opening up the divine palace is only the first step. After that, he needs to condense the core and continuously strengthen it through the method of eating air.

Only when the core is strong enough to reach the critical point can the five elements be generated and the second opening of the palace be carried out.

Jia Yu comforted him:
“You have never practiced the Pifu exercise, and you are still inexperienced. It is normal that the speed of opening up the meridian patterns is slow at the beginning, but it will gradually speed up in the future.

Sometimes, opening up veins also requires a bit of luck.

If you are in good condition, you won’t waste time when you encounter difficulties.

If you are in a bad state, you will inevitably get half the result with twice the effort."

Yue Yunlong grinned rather embarrassedly and said distressedly:
"Why do I feel like I'm not in a good condition all the time?"

Jia Yu laughed, "Take your time, don't be impatient."

The other party was over 170 years old when he broke through to the Chaoyuan period. His aptitude and comprehension should have been barely acceptable. It was normal for him to encounter many difficulties when establishing his residence.

Yue Yunlong turned around and asked curiously:
"Junior Brother Ji, how is your progress in building a mansion?"

"Uh, just like Senior Brother Li, I'm opening up the first inner vein pattern."

Ji An did not reveal his actual progress, as it would not be good to hurt others.

After more than half a month, seven inner veins were opened up, and 20% of the progress has been completed.

According to preliminary estimates, the development of the liver's inner veins can be completed within three months.

Li Yuangong raised his eyebrows, "Junior Brother Ji must have accumulated a lot during the foundation-building period."

He had only opened up sixty meridians during the foundation-building period, and it took him more than two months to open up all the outer meridians.

The other party broke through three months later than me, but his progress is on par with mine. The only explanation is that he has accumulated a lot of experience.

Another point that needs to be noted is that the other party has only practiced for a short time in the foundation-building stage, and he is gifted to have reached this level.

After a few people talked for a while, Jia Yu urged:

"It will be Si time in half an hour. You should go to Wuji Hall and sit down and wait for the ancestor to arrive."

Ji An and others entered the Wuji Hall, found a cushion and sat side by side.

The three of them didn't speak, each thinking about their own problems.

When the Si hour arrived, Zhenren Zhengyang appeared in the hall on time.

"Disciple Li Yuangong pays homage to the ancestor."

"Disciple Yue Yunlong pays homage to the ancestor."

"Disciple Ji An pays homage to the ancestor."

After announcing his name, Master Zhengyang smiled amiably and said:
"Now I can match you guys up, you're all good!

Let’s not waste any more time and I will explain directly how you should proceed with your future practice.

What I have said today may not be of use to you for a while, but you should keep it in mind and think about it slowly."

"The foundation of Chaoyuan cultivation is to open up the Divine Palace to store the Five Elements Qi and comprehend the power of the Five Elements at a deeper level.

When the cultivator realizes that the five elements are endless, he will reach the state of five qi returning to the origin.

Finally, the five energies are fused together, and the fire of life and destiny is combined to refine the golden elixir."

"Each of the five elements has yin and yang, Jia and Yi are wood, Bing and Ding are fire, Wu and Ji are earth, Geng and Xin are metal, Ren and Gui are water.

Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, and Ren are Yang, and the rest are Yin. Only the harmonious Yin and Yang of the Five Elements can be used to strengthen the core of the Divine Palace."

"Yin and Yang are the principles of heaven and earth, the guiding principles of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, and the seat of the gods."

"Yang is moving, rising, warm, bright, invisible, rigid, and extends to the south of the mountains and the north of the water."

"Yin is relatively still, descending, cold, dark, tangible, flexible, and located to the north of the mountains and south of the water."

"Between yin and yang, there is opposition and transformation."

“From the beginning of the Chao Yuan period, monks begin to come into contact with the food of breath.

This Qi refers to the single Qi of the Five Elements between heaven and earth.

The flow of the Five Elements is unpredictable, but there are patterns to follow."

"The water element is abundant in the great lakes and rivers, the earth element is plentiful in the high mountains and deep valleys, and the wood element is most abundant in the mountains, forests, and grasslands."

"Each of the five elements of Qi has a corresponding method of eating Qi and corresponding tricks."

Ji An listened very carefully. A large part of what the ancestor said did not appear in the description of the exercises.

I think some things are not recorded in writing, but are passed on orally.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed.

Zhenren Zhengyang recounted the entire process of cultivation and said:

"Now, I will answer your questions about cultivation. Who goes first?"

Ji An glanced at the other two and spoke first:

“Grandmaster, I am practicing the Qingmu Huasheng Gong.

When practicing, you can obtain the spiritual energy of Jia and Yi wood, and Bing and Ding fire. Does this also count as consuming qi?" "There are many ways to consume qi, and using exercises to consume qi certainly counts.

But I said that only when yin and yang are in harmony can it be considered as consuming qi. If these spiritual energies cannot be in harmony, they will quickly dissipate."

Zhenren Zhengyang answered gently that Jia Yu often reported news about this disciple to him, and he was also quite concerned.

He had never heard of a disciple being able to use the Qingmu Changchun Gong at the foundation-building level to achieve certain effects of the Five Elements Rotation Sutra. This was the first time in the sect in thousands of years that such a thing had happened.

The other two also started asking questions. They asked about the difficulties encountered in opening up the Divine Palace. Ji An said that he had never encountered these problems.

Time passed like water, and soon it was the hour of You.

Seeing that no one asked any more questions, Master Zhengyang warned:

"You should practice well and communicate more with your fellow disciples. Don't just work in isolation."

After saying this, he took out three golden jade tablets and a spirit plate and said:
"Take out your jade identity cards and I will exchange them for new ones.

This jade token has a stress-type magic ban that can be used to attack a Jindan early stage. Please keep it close to your body and do not put it in your storage bag."

He exchanged the jade tokens for the three people's transfer, contribution points and small merits, and then left.

The disciples all bowed their hands:
"Farewell to my ancestor."

After the ancestor walked away, Yue Yunlong smiled and said:

"Brother, Junior Brother, let's exchange our magic power marks and communicate more in the future."

The three of them exchanged their magic seals, and Li Yuangong asked with a smile:

"My two junior brothers, when will your Chaoyuan celebration banquet be held?

Let's discuss it among ourselves and set some time aside."

Holding a celebration means announcing entry into the Chaoyuan period circle, and celebrations must not be held at the same time.

Ji An suggested:
“How about this, we hold the celebration in the order of who broke through the Chao Yuan period.

Senior Brother Li broke through first and was the first to hold the position."

Yue Yunlong echoed:

"I agree!"

It is reasonable to hold celebrations according to the order of seniority.

Li Yuangong was slightly delighted and said:
“Okay, it’s settled then.

Three days later, I will hold a banquet at Xuanhuo Peak and await your arrival."

Yue Yunlong thought for a moment and said:

"My celebration will be held on the fifth day after Senior Brother Li's banquet."

Ji An smiled and said:

"The celebration at Chiyan Peak will be held on the fifth day after Senior Brother Yue's banquet."

After discussing the matter, the three chatted for a while and then went their separate ways.

The next day, Ji An arrived at Ningcui Cliff riding the Flame Flag.

He walked into the cave, smiled and bowed, saying:
"Greetings, Master, your disciple is here to see you!"

Ge Ying pretended to be gloomy and asked:
"You still remember the existence of a master? I thought the Chaoyuan cultivators had forgotten about Ningcuiya and me!"

She was very happy when her disciple broke through to the Chao Yuan stage, but he only sent a message to the Golden Sword once and never contacted her again, nor did he come to visit her.

Although she knew that she would have a lot of things to do after the breakthrough, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Master, please forgive me. All my mistakes are my fault.

Because I had to study the exercises of the Chaoyuan period, and also delve into the planting techniques of the Chaoyuan period, plus I had to listen to the ancestor's teachings, there were too many things to do, so I didn't visit the master right away.

The time for the disciple's celebration has now been determined, and I've come to invite you."

Ji An recounted his recent events and bowed deeply.

"Okay, come sit down."

Ge Ying couldn't hold back her serious expression and smiled kindly:
"Breaking through the Chaoyuan stage has been my lifelong wish. Although this wish has not been fulfilled, I am very happy to see my disciples achieve it."

She paused and continued:

"Now that you've broken through to the Chaoyuan stage, it's time to take over Ningcui Cliff. When do you plan to officially take over?"

The sooner her disciples take over, the sooner she can feel at ease.

"What are the procedures for taking over Ning Cui Ya? Which hall in the sect is responsible for this? I will be preparing to officially take over in the next few days."

Ji An asked, Ningcui Cliff is the sect's main source of spiritual medicine. He has now broken through the Chaoyuan period. Even if the master does not mention this matter, the sect will let him take over in the future.

Ge Ying replied slowly:

"The Qin Gong Hall is responsible for this kind of thing. I stated my request to Hall Master Zhang a long time ago, and he has agreed.

When the time comes, we can just go and report it."

"On the third day after you broke through the Chao Yuan Stage, the Qin Gong Hall officially made arrangements for this matter and notified me.

The sect is worried that traveling between Scarlet Flame Peak and Ningcui Cliff will waste your precious time, so we are planning to build a teleportation array between these two dojos to facilitate travel."

Ji An was immediately delighted, secretly praising the sect for its great support and thoughtful handling of the matter.

Casting a few Chaoyuan-level spells once every two days would be enough to meet the needs. With the teleportation array, he spent even less time.

He rolled his eyes and asked a very realistic question:

"If we build a teleportation array, how do we calculate the spiritual stones consumed?"

What he really wanted to ask was whether the sect would reimburse him?
Ge Ying shook her head and said:

“The sect will bear all the expenses of the teleportation array.

At the end of each month, the Qingong Hall will hand over the spirit stones you need for the next month to you."

It's just a short-distance teleportation array and doesn't consume many spirit stones.

Ji An stood up and said:
"Master, today is worse than tomorrow. Why don't we go to the Work Hall and get things done today?"
