Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 438 Gengjin Divine Thunder
After Han Yan left, True Man Zhengyang arrived at Shining on a cloud.

Jia Yu immediately went to greet him, "Ancestor, you can just let me know if you need anything, there's no need to come all the way here in person."

"I need to enter the secret vault and talk to Ancestor Yan. You need to give me ten second-grade high-quality earth spirit fruits."

“Okay, I’ll open the magic barrier right away,” Jia Yu said, making a hand seal. Light and shadow flickered, and the simulated magic array disappeared.

With a rumbling sound as the boulders moved to both sides, the entrance to the secret vault opened.

The two stepped inside, and Jia Yu took out several jade boxes and handed them over.

Master Zhengyang took it and used a magic hand seal to awaken the sleeping earth dragon beast:

“Ancestor Yan, I have a request to make today.”

I intend to travel to Central Continent to purchase some resources for the sect, and I would like to ask you to come along so we can look after each other.

He will carry a lot of resources, and with a Golden Core cultivator protecting him, it will be safer.

"How long?"

The earth dragon squinted its eyes. It didn't really want to go. No matter how much it had to travel, it was much more comfortable than sleeping!

"It would take thirty years to travel to and from the Central Continent by flying boat."

"It's been too long, can we not go?"

Master Zhengyang smiled slightly and began to make grand promises:

"The Fire Tortoise is not suitable due to its explosive nature; only the Rock Ancestor can shoulder this important task."

If the sect cultivates a third-tier spiritual fruit in the future, Ancestor Yan will be given priority to enjoy it.

The earth dragon beast shook its head, "It's all talk and no action. I've lived for over 1,700 years and I've never tasted a third-tier spiritual fruit from the sect."

No, I didn't even get to eat a second-tier top-grade Earth Element Spirit Fruit!

Although it was a demon beast, its intelligence was no less than that of human cultivators, and it knew that the other party's promise would take many years to be fulfilled.

Master Zhengyang smiled and opened all the jade boxes. "Ancestor Yan should know that the sect has now produced a Spirit Farmer in the Chaoyuan stage. In the past, we couldn't produce many top-grade earth-elemental spirit fruits, but now we have hundreds in stock."

More importantly, this disciple in the Chaoyuan stage has the potential to break through to the Golden Core stage. If he succeeds in the Golden Core stage in the future, cultivating third-tier spiritual fruits for the sect will be a piece of cake.

After thinking for a moment, the Earth Dragon Beast stood up from its lying position and raised its claws.

"Thirty high-grade earth spirit fruits, the remaining twenty will be paid upon returning to the sect."

It is not easy for a spiritual farmer to be born at the Golden Core stage, but once the spiritual veins of a sect are upgraded to the third rank, they do indeed have the conditions to cultivate third-rank spiritual plants.

Without hesitation, Master Zhengyang nodded. “Deal. We’ll set off in six months. I’ll come and wake you up then.”

Two weeks later, at noon, the sun was shining brightly.

The cicadas chirped incessantly, asserting their presence.

A crimson glow descended on the mountainside of Chaoyang Peak. Ji An put away the Flame Banner that had been lifted off the ground and stepped into the Treasure Pavilion.

"Senior brother, you're finally back from the Immortal City. Tell me, how many spirit stones did you sell the top-grade Azure Dragon Wood for?"

Having received the message from the other party half an hour ago, he immediately teleported to Ningcui Cliff and rushed over without stopping.

Jia Yuzhi smiled smugly and held out his hand, saying:

"Junior brother, please sit down. Did you bring enough spirit wine?"
"To sell more spirit stones, my throat is practically burning from talking so much; I really need to moisten it."

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Ji An took out two jars of second-grade superior pine nut wine, each weighing five jin.

"Junior brother is so straightforward," Jia Yu said with a bright smile, taking out a pile of high-grade spirit stones and placing them on the table.
"When doing business with those big shops, it's best to use the sect's name; otherwise, getting ripped off is all too common."

Even using the sect's name only reduces the amount of money they get ripped off.

He was deeply moved; behind the large shops on the merchant airship stood Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Big businesses always bully their customers; that's how it's always been.

Only when a sect produces a Nascent Soul True Monarch will they have the right to engage in equal dialogue, and even then, it is merely a qualification.

Ji An neatly arranged the spirit stones, counted them, and said:
"One hundred and forty yuan, thank you for your hard work, senior brother."

He took out a spirit stone and pushed it beside the other person, saying:
"This is just a small token of my appreciation; please don't refuse, senior brother."

This was ten more high-grade spirit stones than he had initially expected, and the spirit stones he gave away were a thank-you fee.

Although he himself is a cultivator from a sect, those big shops won't give him any face.

Jia Yu slapped open the seal and pointed at the wine jar, saying:

“Once, when I left my sect to travel, I met a female Taoist priest. We fell in love at first sight and traveled together.”

We encountered danger on the way, and she died saving me. From then on, I was all alone.

I have no children, so all the resources I've accumulated are useless.

He pushed the spirit stone back, then took out a golden talisman and said in a deep voice:
"This is a mid-grade, third-tier talisman, Gengjin Divine Thunder Talisman, which I am giving to my junior brother."

This journey is fraught with danger, involving high mountains and long roads; bring something for self-defense.

Ji An remained silent. He had never heard his senior brother mention this past event before. He never imagined that the man who loved drinking would have such a past and be such a romantic.

"Senior brother, the thunder talisman is too precious."

Thunder magic is powerful and swift in attack. Among the five elements of divine thunder, there are Geng metal divine thunder, Yi wood divine thunder, Wu earth divine thunder, Gui water divine thunder, and Bing fire divine thunder.

Geng Metal Divine Thunder and Bing Fire Divine Thunder are the two most powerful thunder techniques. The thunder tribulation that cultivators undergo when breaking through to the Golden Core stage is the Five Thunder Tribulation.

"Haha, for me, having fragrant and sweet wine to soothe my soul is enough to comfort me for the rest of my life."

"If you send me more fine wine and spiritual food in the future, I'll be more than satisfied." Jia Yu laughed, used a water control incantation to pour spiritual wine into the gourd, and then gently shook it by his ear.

Hearing the faint sound of flowing water, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his gaze drifted into the distance.

He put the gourd away and began to explain the method for activating the Gengjin Divine Thunder Talisman.

Ji An listened attentively, and after making sure he remembered it, he put the Thunder Talisman into his virtual space.

After leaving Chaoyang Peak, Ji An rode his magical artifact to the rear hall of Lingxiao Mountain.

Zhang Zizhao laughed loudly, "Junior brother, you're a rare guest! What brings you here?"

"Hehe, I came to the Diligent Work Hall today to exchange for some materials, so of course I have to visit my senior brother first."

"What materials do you need, junior brother? I'll send someone to fetch them for you."

Ji An took out a jade tablet and a piece of paper covered with writing and placed them on the table. "I need some to refine first-grade top-quality spirit-binding stakes."

"Junior brother, are you interested in studying array formations, or are you just interested in the Spirit Binding Stakes?"

Zhang Zizhao asked, "The Spirit Binding Stake is the foundation of the array, and it is not difficult to refine."

Since it's a standardized product, it's easy to make once you get the hang of it.

If the other party wants to study the art of formations, he should try to dissuade them. If he had the other party's talent, he would never be distracted by other things.

"Perhaps Senior Brother already knows that the spiritual veins of Crimson Flame Peak only nurture the core area. I want to study the formations for nurturing spiritual fields so that I can nurture higher-level spiritual fields in the future."

The art of formations is vast and profound; I don't have that much time to study it.

“It’s good that you understand, junior brother,” Zhang Zizhao called over a disciple and instructed him to fetch the supplies.

"Junior brother, have you decided on your first destination for your travels?"

"We are preparing to head north into the far north ice field, where there are several good areas. If we are lucky enough to catch the right time, we should have a good harvest."

Ji An replied that the Southern Continent was also a good choice, but after all, he had shown his face in the Southern Continent before. When he fought against the Golden Core cultivators, there were cultivators from the Southern Continent watching from afar.

Without a doubt, his appearance will appear on the wanted list of the Earthly Fiends Sect.

Therefore, if he could avoid going to the Southern Continent, he would not set foot there.

If he absolutely had to go, he would also learn some disguise techniques.

In addition, human skin masks are not uncommon in the cultivation world. He will see if he can buy one when he goes to Qingyun Immortal City in a few days.

“In the harsh and cold northern lands, cultivators who can take root there are all formidable individuals.”

Junior brother, try to be kind to others, but if a conflict arises, don't hold back.

To be lenient with the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

Ji An grinned. Perhaps his identity as a spiritual farmer made people subconsciously think that he was not good at fighting.

After all, cultivators who deal with the land and achieve something in it have no time to think about fighting.

"Don't worry, senior brother. My motto is either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly."

If we clash with the enemy, then it's a fight to the death.

His tone carried a chilling killing intent. He was proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique, so even if he couldn't win, he could escape. Of course, he wasn't afraid.

Zhang Zizhao laughed heartily and said:
"That's the state of mind. Whether you're a cultivator or an ordinary person, you have to have some malice in your heart and can't appear harmless."

That way, others will carefully consider whether it's worth it if they want to bully you.

A moment later, the disciple brought over a storage bag and an identity jade token. "Uncle-Master, all the supplies have been prepared in full, costing a total of 35,000 contribution points."

These are all Tier 1 resources, which can be redeemed using contribution points.

Ji An checked the supplies in the storage bag and nodded kindly, "Thank you."

"This is what a disciple should do."

Ji An returned to Crimson Flame Peak and to the Earth Fire Chamber of his cave dwelling, where he began attempting to refine the Spirit Binding Stake.

Refining the array base is relatively simple; the difficulty lies in imbuing it with magical restrictions.

However, it's not difficult once you get the hang of it; after all, it's not the kind of creative work you do in scientific research.

He took out the materials from the storage bag. There were five kinds of materials, which were sand and gravel of different colors.

There are five colors, including light yellow and light red. They all have one thing in common: their colors are murky and not transparent, so they need to be refined to remove impurities first.

Ji An found a furnace used for smelting, placed the pale yellow sand inside, and then started the alchemical fire.

The earth fire contains traces of fiery evil energy, which needs to be removed separately, which is a bit troublesome. There's no need to make things more difficult for yourself.

These gravel and sand are all first-tier materials, and have no resistance to second-tier alchemical fire.

The crimson flames quickly melted the sand and stones, like boiling water.

He stopped activating the alchemical fire, and the sand and stone liquid cooled rapidly, quickly turning into a pale yellow, transparent crystal with a clear color.

Ji An took out the refined sand and released the golden light technique to cut away the impurities at the bottom, leaving not a trace.

He followed the same method, melting all the sand and gravel to remove impurities, and finally smelting them together to create a stone pillar that was as thick as a forearm and three feet long.

The stone pillars resemble white marble, with a delicate texture and a warm, lustrous sheen.

Next, all that's needed is to add the forbidden spells.

Ji An took out the jade slip and stuck it on his forehead, trying to figure out the structure of the legal restrictions.

Half an hour later, he officially began inscribing the incantation.
