Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 421 Jade Wood Spirit Rhinoceros Pill

Ji An's body-refining technique is called the Glazed Gold Jade Bone Body. He discovered that practicing this technique after refining the Vajra Bodhi Fruit would produce a sense of clarity.

He suspected that the body-refining technique was Shi Xiu's technique, but since he had never met Shi Xiu, he could not be sure.

With the help of the Vajra Bodhi Fruit, he plans to upgrade his Golden Jade Bone Body to the Chaoyuan stage whenever he has free time.

Casting defensive spells takes time, summoning the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner takes time, but the physical body is one's own, and the precious body obtained through hard work provides formidable defense that is always present.

As the sun set and the sky was ablaze with colorful clouds, Ji An rode a cloud back to the edge of the cold pool. He raised his hands to his sides, pursed his lips, and uttered a sound: "Blow!"

Grip the ground with your toes, and as you exhale completely, slowly stand up while inhaling, then slowly lower yourself back down.

A wisp of cool, watery air entered his mouth, and his body instinctively swallowed it.

His kidneys were a deep, serene black, shimmering with a faint, watery sheen.

The surface is covered with fine, swirling patterns, like ever-changing clouds and mist.

Within the acupoint, the Ren and Gui water channels lit up simultaneously, and he seemed to hear the sound of flowing water.

After absorbing a wisp of the Qi, Ji An decisively stopped.
He didn't know how many strands of qi this cold pool could absorb, nor had he ever tested it.

He consumed a wisp of qi every four days without fail for several years, and he was able to consume it every time.

As night deepened, Ji An began to cast a spell on the spiritual field, ensuring that the water, qi circulation, and planting were synchronized.

Two hours later, he finished his mission and returned to the vicinity of his cave. He began practicing his spells until his magical power was almost exhausted.

After nurturing the two Crimson Cloud Pines with his magic, he entered the cave by making a hand seal and went to the medicine garden to cast a spell. His magic power was just exhausted, a perfect calculation.

Ji An entered the quiet room, lit the stove to boil a pot of spiritual spring water, and brewed Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea. The aroma of the tea filled the air, and the steam rose gently.

Taking a sip of hot tea, it felt as if a cool breeze was blowing through my mind; the feeling was wonderful.

After finishing the pot of water, the tea had lost its color, and Ji An chewed and swallowed the tea leaves.

He wouldn't want to waste a single drop of the finest Jade Dew Golden Sprouts, otherwise he would feel bad.

Ji An sat cross-legged on the futon, his mind sinking into his dantian and connecting with the stone tortoise. Lines of writing appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Spell: Spirit Sealing Technique (Mastery 36%)]

Xuanming Qi (96% full)

Wood Release Technique (58% Perfection)

Fire Release Technique (Perfect 9%)

Metal Escape Technique (Perfect 11%)

Water Release Technique (Perfect 27%)

Mental Roar (Minor Success 24%)

[Pulling Silk Spell (72% Complete)]

Having stayed in the sect for the past few years, with a sufficient supply of spiritual tea, soul incense, and soul-nourishing pendants, Ji An could practice his spells with peace of mind.

The Earth Escape Technique, the Fire Dragon Burning the Sky Technique, and the Pointing to the Earth to Turn Steel successively reached the Great Perfection level.

Once the Xuanming True Qi reaches the Great Perfection level, the focus should be on practicing the Five Elements Escape Technique.

His strength is improving in all aspects; his mental roar, at the minor completion level, has a casting range of forty feet.

Now he's a fairly well-rounded fighter, excelling in attack, defense, and escape.

Ji An's consciousness returned to his body, and he chuckled with satisfaction. He took out the Canglan Treasure Light Pill and was about to take it when a stone tortoise suddenly sent a message from his sea of ​​consciousness asking him something.

'With sufficient spiritual energy storage, shall we use it to cultivate a small world?'

The gourd world has become increasingly stable, and the stone tortoise no longer actively consumes spiritual energy without his permission.

"I agree to cultivate it!"

With the command given, after a slight dizziness, Ji An's body entered the gourd world.

The space became fifteen zhang in diameter, about four mu in size. There should be no lightning or thunder in the gray mist at the edge of the space, and the black spatial cracks did not reappear.

This place remains desolate, with rolling yellow sand beneath your feet and no trace of spiritual energy in the air; it is a place devoid of any spiritual energy.

However, there were puddles in the yellow sand, with wild grass growing around their edges.

Ji An began to cast spells, performing the four cultivation spells of the Chaoyuan stage in turn.

Once the spell was completed, the magical intent quickly dissipated, and the spiritual energy also vanished rapidly.

He sighed softly. Although he believed that a spiritual vein would eventually emerge here, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

All the spiritual wisdom and inspiration I've accumulated over the years have been poured into this project. I see hope, but I still don't know where the future lies.

However, he was not in a hurry, because when the spiritual veins of Crimson Flame Peak were cultivated to the second-level top grade, a large amount of Dao essence would inevitably be devoured by the stone turtle.

Then we'll go all in again and see what results we get.

Even the worst outcome should be enough to allow the small world to develop spiritual veins!

According to Senior Brother Chu Huaige's estimate, the spiritual veins of Crimson Flame Peak will improve within about ten years.

All we need to do now is wait quietly.

Three days later.

Zhong Yuefei piloted the flying boat forward, with a beautiful young female cultivator in a gray Taoist robe following behind her.

The female cultivator had delicate features and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that seemed to speak volumes. Her Taoist robe was loose, yet it could not conceal her broad-mindedness.

At this moment, her hands were tucked into her Taoist robe, tightly gripping the cuffs.

Seeing her expression, Zhong Yuefei smiled gently:
"Xue Ning, don't be nervous. I've already spoken to Junior Brother Ji, and your culinary skills are quite good. As long as you dedicate yourself to studying and honing your skills for a few years, you'll naturally be able to handle the job." Zhang Xue Ning forced a smile and said:
"I can't afford to worry about that. My aptitude is too low, the lowest of the low. I'm worried that my cultivation level is too low and many spiritual foods won't be easy to make."

The spiritual chef also has certain requirements for cultivation level. Some meat ingredients need to be killed and slaughtered on the spot, so that they will taste the most delicious.

If it's difficult to kill demonic beasts because of low cultivation level, it would only make people laugh and embarrass Auntie.

After all, she was going to serve a high-ranking cultivator in the Chaoyuan stage, and she was very worried that she would not do a good job.

"Then there's even less to worry about. The disciples who are now serving as spirit chefs are in good health, and they can definitely continue for another five or six years."

The spiritual veins of Crimson Flame Peak are of the second-tier, high-grade level. Even without purchasing pills, reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining shouldn't be a problem.

Zhong Yuefei pointed her arm forward, "Do you see those golden-red clouds rising over there? That's Crimson Flame Peak, the Daoist temple of the Lord of the Ministry of Agriculture."

After saying that, she increased the output of her magic power, and the speed of the flying boat increased even more.

Zhang Xuening leaned against the gunwale, her eyes filled with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.

About 35 minutes later, the flying boat entered Crimson Flame Peak and landed by the Cold Pool.

Ji An laughed heartily and said:
"Senior sister, is this the junior you were talking about? She has a similar temperament to you."

Zhong Yuefei, arm in arm with her junior, approached him and smiled:
"Everyone says so, Xue Ning, quickly pay your respects to your grandmaster."

"Disciple Zhang Xuening pays respects to Grandmaster."

Fortunately, my master has taken me into this temple. I will certainly do my utmost to cook even more delicious spiritual food.”

Zhang Xuening forced herself to remain calm and spoke the words she had repeated in her heart hundreds of times.

Haha, looking forward to your performance.

"Cuihua, the task of teaching Xue Ning is now in your hands. Show her around, explain your work, and arrange her accommodations."

After Ji An finished speaking, he transmitted his voice:

"You have served Crimson Flame Peak for many years, I will not send you away."

Zhang Cuihua's slightly melancholy expression immediately brightened, and she said:
"This disciple will certainly teach you with all my heart. Junior Sister Zhang, please come with me."

She is over eighty years old, and her hands and feet are not as nimble as they were when she was young, and her energy is also waning.

Old Zhang left with Little Zhang, and Zhong Yuefei chuckled softly:

"When he came, the child was extremely nervous. I thought he wouldn't be able to say a word when he saw you."

Ji An smiled and said, "I'm not some vicious person, how could I possibly scare her?"

"That's not necessarily true. A cultivator at the Chaoyuan stage is quite intimidating!"

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Xuening adapted to her new identity and was very satisfied with her life here.

The level-two spirit trees covering the entire Crimson Flame Peak deeply moved her.

In her family's territory, there is a mid-grade second-tier spiritual plant, which her family's predecessors spent hundreds of years cultivating successfully.

But here, there are mid-grade second-tier spiritual plants everywhere, and there are also many high-grade second-tier spiritual plants.

Such a tremendous achievement was accomplished by Master Ji in just over a hundred years. She couldn't imagine how wealthy her master must be!
The blue deer moved through the woods like an untamed wind, its clear bells quickly fading into the wind.

When Qinglu arrived at the edge of the cold pool, Zhang Xuening took out a Biluo fruit and carefully handed it over.

Standing to the side, Zhang Cuihua smiled kindly:
"Don't be afraid, Youyou is easy to get along with and has a gentle temperament."

The green deer swallowed the fruit and went to the edge of the cold pool to drink water.

Zhang Xuening turned around and whispered:

"The Azure Deer is a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast, and the demonic power it exudes is even stronger than our clan leader's. How can we not be afraid?"

Zhang Cuihua grinned from ear to ear, "A demonic beast at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage is indeed stronger than most patriarchs of families in the Western Continent."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuening felt even more that Crimson Flame Peak possessed profound cultural heritage.

As the two were talking, Ji An rode back from outside on auspicious clouds and landed on the cold pool.

He went to Yunhe Mountain and traded a pill with Senior Sister He Yuhan—the Jade Wood Spirit Rhinoceros Pill.

This pill was expensive, costing him 30,000 minor merits, because it was a "Nourishing Essence Pill" from a wood-elemental demon beast.

The green deer eats mid-grade second-tier tender mulberry leaves every day, occasionally some high-grade mulberry leaves, and every three days it can also eat a mid-grade second-tier Biluo fruit.

Now, with abundant demonic power and perfect aura, he has reached a state where he can break through.

Ji An smiled and nodded at the two disciples of the Spirit Chef Sect, and called out:
"long!"

After finishing its water, Qinglu quickly ran over.

Ji An straddled him and said, "Your luck has come. Let's go to the Qingling Bamboo Forest."

The green deer moved like the wind and quickly entered the depths of the bamboo forest.

Ji An jumped down, took out a jade bottle, and poured out a Jade Wood Spirit Pill the size of an egg.

Its color is deep red like blood, and its surface has three blue-green patterns. It is also a high-quality elixir.

The green deer twitched its nostrils, its face displaying an anthropomorphic expression, its eyes filled with longing; it could sense the benefits of the elixir.

"If you are ready to break through to the Chaoyuan stage, then begin."

Ji An placed a second-grade high-quality Biluo Fruit at the feet of the beast and handed over the pill in his palm.

The green deer swallowed the pill in one gulp, then chewed the spiritual fruit and swallowed it as well.

A moment later, its demonic power increased dramatically, exceeding what should be expected at the Foundation Establishment stage.
