Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 509 Are you sure?
Master Yuxiao quickly waved his hand and said modestly:

"I dare not presume to offer guidance; let us discuss and progress together."

By the way, what is your natal magic weapon, junior brother? And what spiritual artifacts still need repair?

It's impolite to ask about one's natal magic weapon in the outside world, but it's very necessary for fellow disciples to understand each other.

"It is the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner. There are three spiritual artifacts that need repair, namely..."

Ji An summoned three precious banners and the shattered Sky Soaring Armor, and continued:
"If it weren't for so many spiritual artifacts supporting me, I would probably have been reduced to ashes by the Chaos Divine Lightning."

He held back some of his words, and the Mixed Gold Armor Spell and the physique of a cultivator in the Chaoyuan stage also helped him a lot.

Master Yuxiao's eyes widened slightly as he looked at the damaged spiritual artifact:

"Four top-grade spiritual artifacts, Junior Brother, you've really gone all out. Luckily you were well-prepared, otherwise it would have been really dangerous."

He carefully examined the damage to the magical artifacts and spirit weapons, and offered his suggestions:

"You can exchange for Tier 3 resources in the secret vault, but you need the sect leader's approval."

When your senior brother returns, you can exchange for Transforming Spirit Mud to repair your natal magic weapon, and you can also exchange for Phoenix Stones to repair the Flame Banner.

Simply replace the flagpole with the wooden spirit flag. Ask Zhu Xiangrong what materials are needed.

Ji An nodded. "That's what I think too."

Both the Transformation Divine Mud and the Phoenix Stone possess a certain degree of self-repairing ability, making them the most suitable materials.

These materials are also essential for crafting magical artifacts, and a considerable amount is added, making the cost of crafting magical artifacts extremely high.

Cultivators inevitably engage in battles, and damage to magical artifacts is unavoidable; failing to repair them would be a huge loss.

He changed the subject and asked:
"Senior brother, I have a question. Is the intensity of the tribulation lightning encountered when a cultivator breaks through to the Golden Core stage different?"

"The intensity of the lightning tribulation during most cultivators' breakthroughs is not significantly different; the more profound the accumulation, the stronger the lightning tribulation encountered during the breakthrough."

"I remember my senior brother saying that if other beings get too close when you break through to the Golden Core stage, they will also be subject to calamity due to the pull of your energy."

"Assuming my beast was beside me when I broke through, is it possible that because we were so close, the lightning tribulation was much stronger?"

"Based on the information I have, the intensity of the lightning tribulation will not increase as a result."

The tribulation clouds merged into one, becoming even larger, but the lightning tribulation would split into two parts, each testing different candidates.

Ji An suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice:
"Senior brother, are you sure?"

If you're sure, my stone turtle is going to go on a killing spree!

When other cultivators break through to the next level, that will be his time to make a fortune.

As long as there is enough Daoist essence, the spiritual vein grade of the small world can be rapidly improved, and one can even try to evolve a Daoist seed of the Earth grade.

Master Yuxiao curled his lip, "Why would I lie to you? Besides, you've already broken through, you don't need to worry about this."

Ji An smiled without saying a word, his heart filled with anticipation.

Master Yuxiao spoke again, "Let me tell you about the stipends that we Golden Core cultivators can receive."

The distribution is given out every five years, including fifty high-grade spirit stones and one pill corresponding to the cultivation level.

This pill needs to be exchanged from cultivators in the Central Continent. The sect's practice is to directly exchange spiritual items for enough pills to keep on hand.

This is the current salary; it will be increased as the sect's foundation deepens.

The Soul-Nourishing Wood in Crimson Flame Peak has been upgraded to the second-tier top-grade level. I will suggest to my senior brother that the top-grade Soul-Nourishing Pendant be used as our salary.

"Junior brother, the sect still has several rare second-tier top-grade spiritual plants. If we can cultivate them to the third tier, our treatment will be much better."

His gaze was intense, and his eyes held a renewed fervor.

Only sects possessing third-tier spiritual plants truly have the foundation for enduring prosperity.

Third-tier spiritual plants can live for four to five thousand years, longer than Nascent Soul cultivators. The reason why major powers have a stable lineage is because their foundation is deep enough to withstand storms.

Previously, they didn't expect to see the sect cultivate a third-tier spiritual plant in their lifetime, but now that a Golden Core stage spiritual farmer has appeared in the sect, many things can be looked forward to.

Ji An smiled and asked, "If I cultivate a third-tier spiritual plant, how does the sect plan to reward me?"

There are no relevant provisions in the sect's rules and regulations, perhaps because such a long-term perspective was not considered when they were formulated.

Master Yuxiao smiled in response, "We'll have a proper discussion when Senior Brother Zhengyang returns."

Ji An pondered for a moment and said, "I also want to cultivate more third-tier spiritual plants for the sect. I request that the sect build a few more teleportation arrays to connect Crimson Flame Peak with other locations of second-tier top-grade spiritual plants."

After cultivating the third-tier spiritual plants, they can flower and bear fruit, allowing him to obtain spiritual seeds and enrich the gourd world.

The more abundant the output in his small world, the faster he accumulates wealth, and the faster his cultivation speed will increase accordingly.

Master Yuxiao nodded and readily agreed:
“No problem, I can make the decision on this matter. We will find a formation mage to build the teleportation array tomorrow.”

The sooner we cultivate the third-tier spiritual plant, the sooner everyone will benefit.

Ji An's face was full of smiles. "If I cast spells on the spiritual plants on time, does that count as completing a mission? Will I get a small reward?"

"Of course it counts as carrying out a mission. The sect will not use any pretext to infringe upon the rights of its disciples."

However, the junior brother will receive less reward than usual, because maintaining the teleportation array consumes a considerable amount of resources.

Over time, the spirit stones consumed by the teleportation array will amount to a considerable sum.

“I’m willing to do that. The sect will have to purchase the Golden Core stage planting technique, so I’m confident I can cultivate third-tier spiritual plants sooner.”

Master Yuxiao nodded, "Even if you didn't mention it, the sect would still buy it."

The reason we didn't buy these inheritances before was because the sect wasn't wealthy, but the main reason was that no one would use them anyway, and they would just gather dust in the Transmission Hall.

The sect leader's senior brother is also on the important mission of purchasing various spells on his trip to Zhongzhou.

"My senior brother will return with the merchant ships from Central Continent. If he doesn't make a purchase, we'll negotiate with the cultivators from Central Continent about it." Third-tier spells are expensive, but can be acquired through trade; cultivation techniques, however, cannot.

Ji An took out a jade slip and said:

"I once obtained a spell, a kind of soul-binding technique. Senior brother, estimate the price and see how many minor merits you can exchange it for."

Inside is the incantation for mental roaring, obtained from demonic cultivators. It is a "neutral" spell that all cultivators can practice.

His initial plan was to hand it over to the sect after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, so as to enrich the sect's spell treasury.

Master Yuxiao took the jade slip with great interest, placed it on his forehead, and the joy on his face became more and more obvious.

"Junior brother, where did you get this technique?"

"If a large number of disciples cultivate, will it affect you?"

If the source of the magic formula is illegitimate, he will demand...

Ji An shook his head. "I once encountered a demonic cultivator, and after a fierce battle, I obtained the cultivation technique. Senior Brother, how much reward do you think I can get?"

Master Yuxiao stretched out a hand and waved it.

"Five thousand minor merits?" Ji An thought it was alright.

"Not five thousand, but fifty thousand minor merits!"

Ji An grinned, "Senior brother is so generous!"

This amount far exceeded his expectations, and he thought to himself that he would have to hand over any good things he obtained to the sect in the future.

"I haven't finished yet. From now on, every time a disciple exchanges for a magic technique, Junior Brother can get five more minor merits, which will last for sixty years."

Ji An was taken aback. "Is it that valuable?"

He never imagined that the submitted secret formulas would become a money-making machine.

A cultivator in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment can practice mental roar. If we calculate it this way, he can probably gain tens of thousands of minor merits within sixty years.

Master Yuxiao looked at him with envy and said:
"Perhaps you are unaware of the preciousness of the Divine Soul Secret Technique. When disciples release this type of secret technique simultaneously, the effects can be stacked."

In other words, it is possible for several Foundation Establishment cultivators to unite and fight against a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

Ji An blinked. He had indeed never heard of this concept before, and he knew very little about soul magic.

"I see, thank you for clearing up my doubts, senior brother."

"Junior brother, hand over your jade token, and I will transfer the minor merit to you."

Master Yuxiao manipulated the jade tablet and asked curiously:
"Junior brother, what grade is your Golden Core?"

The golden elixir is smooth, round, and uniform in color, displaying the brilliance of reddish gold. This is the highest quality and is called the Immortal Golden Elixir.

The golden elixir is pale gold in color and radiates a precious light; it is called a celestial grade.
The color of the Golden Elixir is pale gold, with other impurities and a dull luster; it is called the Earth Grade.

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at the other person.

Ji An smiled and nodded, calmly saying:

"It should be the Immortal Golden Elixir."

Within a sect, there's no need to hide such information; the stronger you are, the more respect you command.

"really!"

Master Yuxiao was overjoyed, for cultivators who had achieved the Immortal Golden Core had a greater chance of breaking through their core to form an Infant.

'Could it be that in my lifetime I will witness the birth of a Nascent Soul cultivator within my sect?'

He dared not think any further; the scene was too beautiful, making it seem less real.

After chatting for a while, Ji An took his leave.

Master Yuxiao said:

"Junior brother, you should think carefully about what Taoist name to choose. Please decide before Senior Brother Zhengyang returns."

You still have a few years; you must choose a resounding Taoist name, because it will accompany you throughout your life.

"I will."

Ji An decided to choose one from the resounding Taoist titles he had heard in his previous life, such as Chunyangzi and Changchunzi.

Leaving the summit of Chaoyuan Peak, Ji An arrived at the treasure pavilion and smiled:

Do you remember what I said before?

Jia Yu suddenly stood up, "Ancestor, Grandfather."

He thought it would be difficult to speak up, but he didn't expect it to be resolved so smoothly.

Ji An laughed a few times, chatted for a while, and then left.

He rode the clouds to Mount Chitong and found Zhu Xiangrong's cave.

Zhu Xiangrong opened his mouth, then solemnly cupped his hands and said:
"Disciple greets Ancestor, please take a seat."

Cultivators are ranked according to their level of cultivation; there is no order of precedence in learning, and those who achieve mastery are respected.

"No gift."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ji An took out the damaged magic weapon and spiritual artifact, and said:

"I want to repair some magical artifacts and spirit weapons, and I would like to ask you to design a specific plan."

Senior Brother Yu Xiao offered suggestions, but the specific repair procedures still need to be consulted with the weapon refiner.
