Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 526 The Second-Tier High-Grade Gourd World

The airship took off and slowly left Crimson Flame Peak.

Wei Baiyang waved frantically until the flying boat disappeared from sight.

He used to long to leave his family, but when he actually left, he realized how reluctant he was to leave.

Seeing the other person's dejected expression, Ji An whispered:
"follow me."

The master and apprentice entered the living room. After Ji An sat down, he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down and let's talk."

"Master, I will just stand."

"Don't be shy, I don't have many rules here. Just sit down when I tell you to."

After his disciple sat down, he said in a deep voice:
"Not bad, you now have the cultivation of the third level of Qi Refining, which is much stronger than when I was a disciple. Has your father ever mentioned me to you?"

"Reporting to Master, my father often spoke of your deeds. You planted a large number of talismanic herbs by the Azure Lake, and he was responsible for providing the talismanic ink and collecting the talismanic paper and seals."

Ji An nodded slightly. Wei Songnian hadn't exaggerated anything; he had only stated the facts.

"From these stories you should know that I am a spiritual farmer, and since you have become my disciple, you must also be a spiritual farmer."

I will provide you with more support to help you advance to the Chaoyuan stage. At that time, you will only need to complete the Lingnong task. If you wish to develop in other areas, your master will not stop you.

"I studied under Ningcui Cliff, and our lineage also possesses a tradition of alchemy. Becoming an alchemist is no problem for me."

He explained the situation and asked:

"Do you understand everything?"

"Understood," Wei Baiyang was actually somewhat disappointed. He didn't want to be a spirit farmer who dealt with spirit fields; he wanted to become a powerful cultivator in combat.

However, the thought that his master was a Golden Core cultivator immediately banished that disappointment.

With the support of my master, advancing to the Chaoyuan stage is not that difficult.

His father dreamed of making the family a Chaoyuan-level family, and he was fortunate enough to be 'arranged' by his master to become a Chaoyuan-level cultivator. In that sense, being a spirit farmer was a great deal.

Ji An asked, "Now that you've had your aptitude tested, which of the five elements does your constitution lean more towards?"

Wei Baiyang recalled carefully and said:
"There is a higher affinity in the wood element, but the higher affinity is limited."

He remembered that the blue light on the spirit pillar was the highest during the test, but it did not exceed that level by much.

Ji An nodded slightly. Most cultivators were like this, with relatively even levels of their five elements sensitivity.

He pondered:

"There are only three Qi Refining stage cultivation methods in the sect: Qingyuan Scripture, Binghuo Scripture, and Kuntu Scripture. You should choose Qingyuan Scripture, as it will be more beneficial to your growth."

After you establish your foundation, choose the Everlasting Green Wood Technique.

He suddenly chuckled, "Exactly the same as me back then."

Wei Baiyang felt honored and thought to himself:

'If my master was able to become a Golden Core cultivator, does that mean I also have a chance?'

In the Western Continent, a Golden Core cultivator is the epitome of power.

Thinking of this, a silly grin appeared on his face.

Ji An coughed, pulling his disciple back to reality, and continued:
"Once you obtain the sect's jade token, you will stay at Crimson Flame Peak to cultivate until you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

After becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you will receive a cave dwelling allocated by the sect and dozens of acres of spiritual fields. At that time, you will move away from here and manage your own spiritual fields.

With these spiritual fields that don't require paying sect rent, plus higher-level planting spells, you'll live a very comfortable life.

You have a senior sister and a second senior brother. A year ago, they both broke through to the Chaoyuan stage. They are only a little over 120 years old.

"Your aptitude is the same as theirs. As long as you're willing to work hard, and with my support, breaking through to the Chaoyuan stage will be no problem at all."

They dangle a carrot in front of their disciple, urging him to perform well.
The other party is Wei Songnian's son, so he will provide more assistance, but this assistance will not be too significant.

Crimson Flame Peak is a second-tier top-grade spiritual vein. Even without taking pills, one's cultivation level can advance by leaps and bounds here.

Inside the airship's cabin, Wei Songnian was beaming.

"It will not be difficult for Bai Yang to become a Chaoyuan stage cultivator in the future after becoming Fellow Daoist Ji's disciple."

Once you become a core member of the sect, you have to sever ties with your family. But since we share bloodlines, we'll always have a connection to the sect.

The next step is that as long as the family can cultivate a cultivator at the Chaoyuan stage, Xiaozhushan will be able to truly prosper.

He spoke with great passion, saying that he was worthy of the title of clan leader for having accomplished this.

Yin Qiuyun sighed, "It's incredibly difficult to cultivate a cultivator at the Chaoyuan stage, and you also need Peiyuan Pills. It's not that we can't afford such pills, but buying just one Peiyuan Pill will deplete most of our savings accumulated over the years."

Then, we also need to gamble that the cultivator who obtains the elixir will be able to successfully break through.

For forces without a deep-rooted tradition, every step forward is incredibly difficult.

Wei Songnian felt a little guilty. He hadn't told his partner about Ji An's promise to give him two Qi-cultivating pills.

He feared that after he left, his Daoist partner would obtain the elixir and break through to become a Chaoyuan stage cultivator, and Xiaozhushan would no longer be the Xiaozhushan of the Wei family.

He gently patted his partner's back, his movements tender and full of love:

"What if we had the Qi-Nourishing Pill?"

"What did you say?" Wei Songnian took out the gift box and opened it, inside which was a jade bottle with a sealing array.

He poured out the pills, and a faint medicinal fragrance spread out. He took a deep breath and said with rapture:

"This is the Qi Cultivation Pill! Fellow Daoist Ji promised us two Qi Cultivation Pills, and the two Soul Nourishing Woods you gave us are such a great deal!"

This is the first one; we'll get a second one in a few years.

Qiuyun, you have the potential to break through to the Chaoyuan stage, so you will take this elixir.

If I were to pass away, you would be the backbone of the Wei family.

Yin Qiuyun's face showed a look of emotion.

Seasons change, years pass quickly, and ten years have gone by in the blink of an eye.

In the living room by the cold pool at Crimson Flame Peak, Ji An sat in the main seat, answering his disciples' questions.

All three disciples were by his side. Wei Baiyang broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage five years ago and is now a cultivator at the second level of Foundation Establishment.

It must be said that as the disciple of an extremely wealthy Golden Core cultivator, he received far too many benefits.

Just then, a golden light swept in from outside, circling around Ji An like a nimble fish.

He reached out and caught the golden communication sword, extended his divine sense to examine it, and then revealed a sincere smile:
"Good news! Lin Jiuxiao, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, has reached the Five Qi Gathering Realm and will break through at Chaoyang Peak in three days."

He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and it had finally come.

At this moment, his heart was burning with passion, and the mystery of how the stone tortoise could absorb Daoist essence from the tribulations of other cultivators was about to be revealed.

Lin Jiuxiao and Lin Qiubai are at similar cultivation levels. Lin Jiuxiao is capable of breaking through, and Lin Qiubai's breakthrough is not far off.

If the stone tortoise can absorb the Daoist essence, it can obtain two strokes of Daoist essence in a short period of time.

Lin Lan's eyes lit up, "If Senior Uncle Lin succeeds in breaking through, wouldn't that mean the sect will have four Golden Core cultivators?"

In this way, the sect would become the undisputed number one power in the Western Continent.

Yuanhe Mountain currently has only one Golden Core cultivator, Luofeng Valley has two, and the sect has three.

Which one is strong and which one is weak is clear at a glance.

Han Shan smiled broadly, "The prosperity of the sect is now unstoppable."

Over the years, all disciples have felt the sect's growing strength and the increasing availability of various resources.

Ji An nodded, "At that time, you can all observe and feel the power of breaking through to the Golden Core stage near Chaoyang Peak."

"As ordered!"

The three disciples responded in unison, and Lin Lan smiled:
"When Master broke through, he didn't tell us. At the time, I thought it was one of my Uncle Lins who was breaking through."

Han Shan wanted to say "Me too," but he opened his mouth and said nothing.

Ji An smiled faintly, "If I told you, you might be even more nervous than I am."

Okay, let's continue. We were just talking about establishing the Fire God's Palace.

An hour later, the disciples took their leave.

Ji An rode a cloud to the top of Crimson Flame Peak, took out the Fire-Avoiding Pearl, infused it with his magic power, and then swooped down.

This is a second-tier high-grade spiritual artifact, which I commissioned Senior Brother Zhu Xiangrong to refine a few years ago.

A crimson aura shield unfolded, and the rising golden-red mist did nothing to harm the magical artifact.

You get what you pay for; the effects of a second-tier high-grade spiritual weapon are still very reliable.

Over the years, he has entered this place once a month to check on the growth of the fire coral and to perform rituals on the spiritual plants.

The environment here is perfect for fire coral, and Ji An quickly harvested several second-tier high-grade spiritual plants.

He would grind the fire coral into powder and sprinkle it on the land of the gourd world. The effect of this powder on improving the soil has already been shown, and the yield of pearl blood rice has increased again.

There was no moon, the night was cool and still, but the Milky Way was dazzling.

After Ji An cast a spell on the spirit field, he returned to his cave. After entering the quiet room, he grabbed the gourd stone in his hand and entered the gourd world.

When his feet touched the yellow earth, he immediately felt a special peace, his soul seemed to become tranquil, and everything was so harmonious.

The Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner flew out from the Dantian, transforming into an earth unicorn that soared into the lush branches and leaves of the Gathering Yuan Tree.

Now, the spiritual veins of the Calabash World have been cultivated to the second-tier superior grade.

After testing and comparison, Ji An discovered that the leaves of the Juyuan Tree do indeed have a very good promoting effect on the cultivation of spiritual plants.

The Earth Spirit Fruit Tree, which has been nurtured by the ashes of yellow leaves for many years, was cultivated to the second-tier top grade a few years ago, when the Spirit Field was only a second-tier middle grade.

This was simply impossible before. Based on years of observation, Ji An's experience is:
The grade of a spirit field directly affects the grade of spirit plants; a spirit plant's grade can be at most one grade higher than the spirit field's grade.

Other Earth Spirit Fruit trees have only just been cultivated to the second-grade superior level, and the gap is still very obvious.

The selected spirit peaches, dark moon jade trees, heavenly pears, and bronze-patterned mulberries all reached the second-tier top grade, similar to the situation of the earth spirit fruit.

The Soul-Nourishing Wood and the Night Tree have now been cultivated to the second-tier mid-grade, a speed many times faster than before.

Ji An is now at ease. The third-tier treasure plant can maintain such a rapid growth momentum. As long as he can raise the spiritual vein grade of the small world to the third-tier low grade, he will be able to enjoy the third-tier spiritual objects in just a few years.
