Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 435 Golden Robe of the Flesh
"Ha ha ha ha."

Ji An touched his forehead, let out a three-part laugh reminiscent of the character Yagami, and finally suppressed his laughter and let out a long sigh.

He didn't know how long it would take for the spiritual plant to sprout, but he felt relaxed at the moment.

The Gathering Yuan Tree never sprouted, and his heart remained tense. The value of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root was immense, constantly tugging at his mind.

"I am still far from being able to remain unmoved by external gains or losses."

Ji An couldn't help but examine his own heart. If one day he lost the stone tortoise and the gourd world, how would he react?
No matter what, cultivation is his foundation, something no one can take away from him. Whether it's the stone tortoise or the gourd world, they are essentially external things.

Only by becoming stronger can we protect all of this.

After a long while, he came to his senses, and his mind became more detached and open-minded.

Cultivating one's mind is a slow process. A virtuous person learns extensively and examines himself daily, thus gaining clear understanding and avoiding mistakes in his actions.

Ji An closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. He repeated this several times before opening his eyes again, his gaze becoming even clearer.

He used the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Yuan Technique to cast a spell on the spiritual field. Because the level of the spell was far higher than that of the spiritual field, the spell's intent and spiritual power could quickly penetrate into the ground to transform the soil, thereby assisting in the enhancement of the spiritual veins.

Ji An felt that it wouldn't be long before he could upgrade the spiritual veins of this small world to the first-tier top-grade level.

"Everything is going well, the future is in my hands!"

Ji An shouted loudly, and auspicious yellow clouds rose from beneath his feet as he began to survey the territory.

It would descend from time to time to cast spells, with the Azure Dragon roaring through the sky amidst thunder and rain, its magic filled with a unique rhythm.

The white jade bee's hive has a cone-shaped cover on top to protect it from rain. The bees either return to the hive or fly to other areas during the rain.

The invisible barrier between the different areas only restricts the flow of spiritual energy and does not prohibit animals from entering or leaving.

As the magical power within his body was continuously refined, Ji An felt that the effects of his spells had become even stronger.

As dark clouds blanket the black earth, the crystal-clear, jade-like raindrops splash countless ripples and bubbles in the pond.

A mist began to spread, and schools of fish frolicked on the surface, leaping up from time to time to enjoy the delightful sensation of the white raindrops.

In the days that followed, Ji An no longer visited the Ministry of Agriculture frequently, going only once a month.

His life settled down, and he practiced cultivation techniques to refine his magical power and perform spells.

In addition, he would also take time to practice the Golden Jade Bone Body technique.

This body-refining technique can temper the body to the level of a Chaoyuan-stage demon beast, which is quite beneficial to him.

The reason for persisting in practicing this method is that the spiritual energy obtained from refining the Vajra Bodhi fruit is very helpful for the progress of body-refining techniques.

Through continuous research, he discovered that the fruit pulp was not very helpful for body tempering, but the fruit pit was more beneficial.

The fruit pulp was dried and dried into fruit, which tasted bitter and had a hard texture, but Golden Retriever and Big Yellow liked to eat it.

Ji An used all the fruit pits to refine his body, hoping to cultivate the Golden Jade Bone Body to the third level as soon as possible, at which point the technique would be perfected.

Half a year has passed like a surging river, never to return.

On this day, Ji An held more than ten Vajra Bodhi seeds in each hand and circulated the Five Elements Revolving Sutra.

The magical power in his dantian was completely refined, becoming even more viscous. The stone tortoise lying on it only had a very slight indentation, as if it were lying on loose soil.

The radiance of the primordial fire has the texture of jade, and its five colors have an indescribable and profound charm.

The Water God's Palace was pitch black, with white cloud patterns that appeared very lively, sometimes condensing into clouds and sometimes dispersing into mist, constantly changing, forming a sharp contrast with the deep black.

The moist air permeates the air, and in an instant it transforms into a cascading torrent of waves, revealing the mysterious interplay of yin and yang in its movement and stillness.

The vine patterns on the Wood God's Mansion change from emerald green to withered yellow, just like the flourishing and decay of plants, sprouting, growing, and withering, forming a complete cycle.

Life and death are intertwined and inseparable; death is not the end, but merely the beginning of another.

The golden flame patterns on the surface of the Fire God's Palace swirled and changed, like rising flames, warm and bright, while deep within the palace, there was a silent explosion.

Flames bring light and warmth, but they can also transform into devastating waves that destroy everything.

The patterns on the Earth God's Mansion resembled cracked earth after years of drought, with a faint, bright yellow light surging within.

When the light surges, a nourishing aura permeates the air, and life lies in its flow; when the light dims, a profound divine will is revealed.

The patterns on the Golden Palace resemble countless tiny swords pieced together. When the spiritual light shines, the chilling divine intent sweeps across the land like an autumn wind, as sharp as a spear.

The extinguished light, like a golden lotus forged in fire, symbolizes a resilient shield.

The bright and radiant Bodhi seed was extracted with strands of golden light as the spiritual light of the Golden Element Divine Palace changed. It looked somewhat like the essence of the Golden Element, but in reality, it was completely different.

After two full cycles of energy circulation, Ji An stopped practicing. The Bodhi seed in his hand had become dull and lifeless. He gently clenched his fist, and the seed crumbled into powder like sand.

He stood up, stretched his body, and began to practice his body-refining exercises.

The spiritual energy is drawn from the dantian and flows through the immortal meridians to reach all parts of the body.

After so many years of nourishment, Ji An's immortal meridians have spread throughout his body, like a network of rivers, reaching every tiny corner of his body.

Nourishing the body and blood with the magical power of the Five Palaces Perfection level of the Chaoyuan stage is like a dimensional reduction attack. The heart beats powerfully, and the surging power of blood and qi cleanses the whole body.

My heartbeat travels through my legs to the earth, and my feet seem to receive the earth's echo.

Ji An felt as if his body was experiencing the beginning of chaos, and he was drenched in sweat. As the light of the Five Elements Divine Palace bloomed at the same time, he felt his blood stop flowing for a moment, and then a surge of heat erupted from his heart and instantly spread to his limbs and bones.

At the same time, another surge of heat rose from the coccyx, and the bones throughout the body crackled and popped incessantly.

Ji An slowly stood still, opened his mouth and exhaled a white stream of air, which smashed a fist-sized crater into the ground.

His skin returned to its normal color after turning from snow-white to silvery white. When he clenched his fist, his skin shone with golden light.

With his Golden Jade Bone Body perfected, and his internal and external cultivation both highly accomplished, his internal organs became as unified as his muscles, and his immunity to sound-based spells greatly increased.

The bones will gradually turn into jade, and the physical body will reach the realm of glazed gold, also known as the golden robe of the physical body.

From then on, his body-refining technique reached the Origin Refining stage, meaning that as a cultivator, he no longer needed to search for body-refining techniques.

Ji An looked up to the sky and roared, the sound waves sweeping across Crimson Flame Peak like a hurricane and spreading outwards.

The mountains echoed his roar, as if celebrating his achievement.

After letting out a long howl, he returned to his cave, used the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique to bathe and change his clothes, and then left the cave and rode the clouds to the stone house by the cold pool.

"Xue Ning, prepare some first-grade top-quality talisman ink. I need to draw talismans."

As Master Zhengyang rode on a cloud, he heard a sound in the wind beside his ear and asked with slight curiosity:

"I heard someone let out a long howl that soared into the sky. Such powerful sound waves are something that cultivators can't produce!"

Even Foundation Establishment stage body cultivators struggle to achieve this; could it be that a sect has produced a Body Cultivator at the Origin Stage?

At this moment, Jia Yu stood beside him, shook her head, and said:
"Based on what I understand, none of the sect's body cultivators have reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection level. Could it be that the rumors have led you to misjudge?"

The sect's primary purpose in training body cultivators is to mine resources; there is no deliberate training.

"Perhaps," Master Zhengyang said with a smile, pointing to the rising golden-red mist in the distance.
"Crimson Flame Peak is now in sight. What does this training ground look like now? How many second-tier top-grade spiritual plants are there?"

Jia Yu replied in a low voice, "I haven't heard Junior Brother Ji mention it before, Ancestor, you should ask him directly."

The crimson auspicious clouds, like bright morning clouds, scattered streaks of light as they sped by, like blooming fireworks, before entering Crimson Flame Peak a moment later.

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Wei Songtao immediately lowered his voice and said to Feng Xing:
"Go quickly and inform the Grandmaster that the Ancestor has arrived! I will first welcome the Ancestor and the others to the living room."

Feng Xing was slightly taken aback. The ancestor was a Golden Core cultivator. He had only heard of him by name and had never seen him in person!
He took off running towards the stone house, stopping just outside:

"Reporting to Grandmaster, the Ancestor has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Ji An raised an eyebrow slightly, insisted on drawing the talisman, and then quickly left the house.

In the living room, Master Zhengyang stood with his hands behind his back, looking with great interest at the painting of pine trees and cranes symbolizing longevity hanging on the wall.

"Ji An is extremely wealthy, yet his living room is so simple. He is a potential cultivator who is dedicated to rigorous practice."

Jia Yu smiled and replied:
"Junior Brother Ji's reputation for diligent cultivation is well-known among his fellow disciples, especially among alchemists."

"Oh, why is that?"

Just as Jia Yu was about to answer, Ji An entered the living room, cupped his hands, and said:

"Disciple pays respects to the Ancestor."

No need for formalities.

Master Zhengyang nodded kindly, then stared at his disciple suspiciously for a few moments before saying:

"Why do I feel like you've changed?"

Ji An understood exactly what the other person was talking about, and grinned:

"When I was in the Foundation Establishment stage, I also practiced a body-refining technique called the Golden Jade Bone Body. Just before the Ancestor came, I broke through to the highest level of the technique, so my skin color changed slightly."

"Excellent! I didn't realize you had such talent in body refinement!"

Master Zhengyang praised him briefly, and then said:

"A message came back from Qingyun Immortal City that the merchant ships from Central Continent have arrived."

Tomorrow I will travel to the Immortal City to invite a master of formations to survey the situation at Crimson Flame Peak in preparation for its advancement.

"Stay on Crimson Flame Peak for the next few days and try not to leave."

Ji An smiled and said:

"Disciple understands. For such a trivial matter, Ancestor, you can simply send a communication talisman sword. There is no need for you to make the trip in person."

"Haha, I heard from Jia Yu that you were going to cut down a few top-grade Azure Dragon Wood trees, so I came along to take a look."

"Even the sect has never been this generous before, actually selling second-tier top-grade spirit wood in bulk."

After Master Zhengyang finished speaking, he transmitted his voice again:
"The area where the Phoenix Tree is located is off-limits to outsiders. Even though the spiritual vein nodes there are very important, we must keep it a secret."

He came today for two purposes: first, to give instructions to his disciples, and second, to see how many top-grade spiritual trees there are.

Ji An nodded slightly and replied telepathically:

"Disciple understands."
