Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 488 Spirit Seed Acquired
Half a month passed.

At the hour of Wei (1-3 PM), Ji An arrived at the enforcement team, found an old acquaintance, pulled him to a secluded corner, and bowed, saying:

"Fellow Daoist, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with. I wish to pay my respects to True Man Han Chi. Could you please pass on a message to me?"

Zhang Dong asked suspiciously:
"Tell me what you want to say. If you don't have a reason, I'll just pass on the message for you. The real person will be unhappy."

Normally, he wouldn't want to help. Han Chi Zhenren is the most serious of all Zhenren, and if it's not necessary, he would subconsciously want to avoid him.

However, he happened to run into the person today and found him smiling broadly, so he must have something to be happy about.

Reporting this under these circumstances will not offend the real person.

"I want to make a deal with a real person."

"What kind of transaction, and in what area?"

"I attended an auction a few days ago and I was able to recognize the real person's voice. He won a bid for a fruit with the color of the Night Purple Fruit."

I'm interested in spirit seeds and would like to ask if the master has any plans to trade them.

Ji An answered truthfully that Han Chi Zhenren had not distorted his voice at the time, and he believed that anyone familiar with him could tell.

He didn't know if the real person had used the spirit fruit, but he dared not wait too long. If the spirit seed was traded away, he would be devastated.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I will help you convey the message. As for whether the True Person is willing to see you, I cannot guarantee it."

"Thank you. No matter the outcome, I will invite you to have a drink at Zuixianju."

Zhang Dong smiled and said, "Wait for my news."

He walked away quickly, then turned back a moment later, saying, "The real person agrees to see you. Come with me."

Inside the cave, the Cold Dragon Immortal looked at Ji An with great interest and waved for Zhang Dong to leave.

He had just used spiritual fruit as the main ingredient to refine a batch of pills that enhanced his soul yesterday, and he was in a great mood.

“Master, I shall take my leave,” Zhang Dong said obediently as he left the cave.

"Tell me, what do you want the spirit seed for?"

Ji An didn't beat around the bush, and said:
“Master, I am a cultivator from the Golden Spirit Sect of the Western Continent. My purpose in purchasing the spirit seeds is, of course, to cultivate them.”

If the cultivation is successful, it will enhance the sect's foundation.

The Cold Dragon Immortal seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and laughed for a while before saying:

"Let me tell you, spirit seeds are not very useful to me, but of course they can be used for planting."

But are you sure you want to plant it? Spirit seeds can grow, but…”

He let out a soft sigh, "Of all the samples I've seen, these spirit trees are all half-dead, and not a single one has been cultivated to the third rank."

Let alone Tier 3, I haven't even seen a single Tier 2 top-grade plant.

Did you know that third-tier spiritual plants will not flower and bear fruit if they are not cultivated to the third tier?
Tell me, even so, do you still want to buy the spirit seed?

He once asked the True Lord of Tianshui why this was, and the other party said it was because of the earth's veins.

Some spiritual plants have special requirements for the earth's veins. If the environment does not contain the mysterious substances needed by the spiritual plants, they cannot be cultivated to a higher level.

Ji An scratched his head, his expression shifting as if he was hesitating.

He pursed his lips and looked up to meet the other person's gaze:
"I want to try."

"Haha, you know what? Your choice didn't surprise me at all."

You have that foolish confidence that just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't. I'll grant your wish.

The Cold Dragon Immortal pondered and said:
"Normally, spirit seeds are mixed with other spirit herbs to make high-grade beauty mud. You're quite wealthy, kid. Take out ten high-grade spirit stones."

That way, they'll know the pain of failure in the future.

If we consider the value of the beauty mud that can be refined, the spirit seed is worth at most two high-grade spirit stones.

Since the other party ignored his advice, he decided to ask for a few more spirit stones.

"Thank you for your help, Master," Ji An said, taking out a spirit stone and placing it in front of the other person, successfully obtaining the spirit seed.

The pigeon eggs are large, with an extremely light purple outer skin that feels somewhat soft to the touch, and are also dotted with a few white spots.

Master Han Chi tossed the spirit stones in his hand a few times, then waved his hand and said:

"You go."

"I'll take my leave now," Ji An said, backing away. Things had gone smoothly, and he was very happy.

If you fail to grow it in the Calabash World, you'll only lose ten high-grade spirit stones. But if you succeed, haha, that's beyond what spirit stones can measure.

Is it worth risking ten spirit stones for a return of hundreds or thousands? Absolutely!

Han Chi Zhenren smiled wryly. He had been young once too and knew this kind of mentality.

Not far from where Ji An left the cave, Zhang Dong approached and asked:
"So, has the real person agreed to the deal?"

Ji An flashed a smile, revealing a set of white teeth. "Of course, he's actually quite easy to talk to."

When are you free? Let's grab a drink.

Zhang Dong grinned, is he really easy to talk to? Why is he often criticized for being stupid?

"Haha, I'll be free at noon."

After the banquet at Zuixianlou, Ji An hurriedly returned to his cave.

He immediately summoned several of his beasts, including Big Yellow and Golden Hair, and told them to "guard the gate."

There were magical restrictions in the cave, so other cultivators wouldn't be able to break in, but he still subconsciously added an extra layer of security.

Big Yellow growled and nodded its huge head. Golden Retriever squeaked and jumped onto Big Yellow's back.

Perhaps because they both have earth element blood, these two get along well, but neither of them has a good relationship with the Golden-feathered Eagle.

Big Yellow lay down at the entrance of the cave, staring intently at the gate.

Ji An chuckled and walked alone into the quiet room. He connected with the stone tortoise and "entered the gourd world."

The next instant, he arrived in this colorful little world and couldn't help but open his arms wide. The concentration of spiritual energy here was far less than that of his current cave dwelling, but staying here always gave him an inexplicable sense of peace.

The Earth Path has the property of calming the soul, which he believes is an effect brought about by the Gathering Yuan Tree.

The apricot-yellow flag flew out of his body and danced gracefully around the spirit tree.

The earthen qilin let out a deep, resonant roar, which echoed in the distance.

Ji An's mood improved even more. This top-grade spiritual artifact was spiritual enough that he could refine it into a magic weapon once he passed the Golden Core Tribulation.

At that time, this natal magic weapon will be able to successfully transform into form. It is unknown what it will transform into, but it is expected to be a Qilin beast.

He glanced around, took out the spirit seed and carefully sensed it for a moment, then activated the Azure Dragon Awakening Technique.

He only released the Dharma intent of the flourishing growth of the wood element, without releasing any wood element spiritual energy, so it would not cause any harm to the spirit seed.

The cyan light rippled like water, and the surrounding magical intent enhanced the spiritual seed's foundation. The spiritual seed was full of purple energy, and the white spots shone like stars.

"Little guy, I've assigned you to a spot near the Heavenly Spirit Root. Do your best from now on."

Ji An dug a pit three zhang away from the Gathering Yuan Tree, buried the spirit seed in it, and then released the Yellow Dragon Yuan Enhancement Technique.

The crystalline light spread like ripples on water, and a rumbling sound echoed deep within the earth.

He changed his hand seals and released the Cloud Dragon Rain Technique, and in an instant, dark clouds covered the sky and white rain poured down.

When the clouds disperse and the rain stops, tender buds break through the soil, and two pale purple leaves, each the size of a little fingernail, sway gently.

"Still very reserved."

Ji An said softly, "The sapling is only an inch tall. Strictly speaking, this is the first time I've planted a third-tier spirit seed, and it's even a mid-grade third-tier variety."

Not counting the phoenix tree, the spirit plant was already a seedling when we obtained it.

"Please, please don't let my investment go down the drain."

Ji An took the Sky Soaring Armor out of the Void Stone and put it into his dantian. After comprehending the principle of Earth giving rise to Metal, he tried to nurture the spirit armor in his dantian.

The situation is better than before, but it is still too heavy a burden on the Yuanming Fire, so we have to give up.

Perhaps if he comprehends two more of the five elements' mutual generation, he can nurture four top-grade spiritual artifacts. In this respect, he is much stronger than other cultivators.

He flew away on a cloud. Since he was already here, he might as well cast a spell on the other spirit fields before leaving.

There are only a mere seventy-odd acres of spirit fields here, and each type of spirit field can be easily completed by casting a single spell.

He went to the pond, caught a giant arowana, scaled and cleaned it, and put it on the barbecue grill.

The dragonfish have successively broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but the temple is too small to accommodate the big ones. Only a few with more potential can be kept, otherwise this small pond cannot support them.

The charcoal was lit, and the furnace glowed red-hot, soon filling the air with a fragrant aroma.

He quickly grilled the fish with second-tier spirit charcoal, sprinkled on the seasonings, and ate it with relish.

It's very difficult to catch a rare arowana this season, and it's not available at Zuixianju.

one year later.

Inside the cave, Ji An finished practicing his magic and connected his mind with the stone tortoise.

Ji An took a deep breath, and after his mental roar reached its peak, his attack range was close to thirty feet.

It no longer requires foolishly getting close to the enemy to launch an attack, which has significant practical value.

He stood up, put everything that belonged to him in the cave into his virtual space, and then went to the management office to get his deposit back.

It's time to leave. I was drinking with Gu Tai the other day, and he said he could finish making the mask today.

Shenhuo Street, Shenbi Lingjia Pavilion.

Ji An stepped into the shop and, led by the shop assistant, went to the backyard.

Gu Tai was talking to a clever-looking boy when he saw him come in and instructed the boy:

"Quickly pay your respects to Grandpa Ji."

Gu Hongming bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Grandpa Ji!"

"No need for formalities," Ji An said with a smile, using his magic to help him up.

“His grandson has bright eyes; if he diligently cultivates himself, he will surely achieve great things in the future.”

It's a pity I'm not a weapon refiner, otherwise I would definitely take him as my apprentice.

He chuckled to himself, thinking, "This gives me another grandson!"
Gu Tai's eyes were filled with satisfaction. "Haha, whether it's weapon crafting or alchemy, his talent is far inferior. He's just not fortunate enough to have you as his master."

He patted his grandson on the back and whispered:
“Keep Grandpa’s words in mind. If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask your Grandpa Ji for help.”

Gu Hongming nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will take good care of myself."

"Don't think about home after you leave. Come back and visit when you have achieved some success in your cultivation."

If you don't break through to the Golden Core stage, then stay in the Western Continent and start your own family line.

His usually serious expression was now filled with loving kindness as he earnestly gave instructions, displaying deep maternal affection.
