Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 532 How to Activate the Spirit Sealing Technique
Ji An left the small world and flew upwards at a leisurely pace.

It would take several hours for the Crimson Golden Carp to recover from its coma.

After leaving the volcano, he flew to the edge of the icy pool and gave the instructions:
"Xue Ning, I want to have a few drinks tonight. I'll have a honey-grilled fish and a stew of spicy fish tail!"

When something makes him happy, he naturally enjoys a few drinks, and premium pine nut wine and premium green leaf wine are his new favorites.

The main ingredient of Qingye wine is the berry. After continuous improvement by my senior brother Du Huaiyuan, the bitterness has become extremely mild, and it has a special mellow taste.

"Okay, I'll go prepare now."

Zhang Xuening smiled broadly; life on Chiyan Peak was truly wonderful.

Although her aptitude was low, cultivating in an environment rich in spiritual energy still provided a significant boost.

Now, she has broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is a huge step forward. Her immortal veins have been nourished for many years, and her aptitude has improved.

Perhaps she still has a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime. If she really has the opportunity, she wants to give it a try.

She is now in her fifties, and it will probably take her eighty or ninety years to reach the perfect Qi Refining stage. However, thanks to the grace of the Ancestor, she received a second-grade low-level Longevity Pill, which will delay the decline of her Qi and blood.

If given the chance to break through the Foundation Establishment stage, she would risk everything for one brilliant moment.

While waiting, Ji An used hand seals to draw out qi and form a talisman. Five-colored light flowed and formed a spirit-sealing talisman in the void.

Now that his cultivation has reached the Golden Core stage, and with the help of ten Dao Seeds, his understanding of the Five Elements has reached a level that is difficult for an ordinary Golden Core cultivator to achieve.

"Ding dong, ding dong!"

The clear sound of bells grew louder as the green deer trotted gracefully to the edge of the cold pool.

"Yo-yo," it came to its owner's side and gently nudged its owner's arm with its antlers.

Ji An stroked the deer antlers; the brown antlers had fine, green, leaf-vein-like patterns on them, giving them a raised, tactile feel.

Among the trees in Crimson Flame Peak, the one with the highest yield of spiritual fruits is the Jade Vine Tree, and there are currently more than fifty top-quality plants.

Ji An was not short of resources. Apart from the rent he paid and some spiritual fruits, he used more than half of the Biluo fruits as food for the green deer.

With the addition of tender mulberry leaves every day, this beast grew very quickly, and its bloodline became increasingly pure.

Now, it has reached the strength of the fifth level of the Chaoyuan stage.

Next, as long as one continues to purify their bloodline and enhance their spirituality, it is possible to break through to the Golden Core stage.

At that time, Ji An will have another talking partner.

"You'd better work harder!"

If the Azure Deer successfully breaks through and can provide him with a lot of help, he will hand over all his beast taming to it for management.

"Yo-yo," the green deer understood the meaning behind its master's words and responded with a proud sound.

When its master is not at Crimson Flame Peak, it is practically the master of this place.

Ji An smiled and once again activated the sealing spirit technique to draw qi into a talisman, the five-colored light arranging into a mysterious pattern.

He gently pressed down, and the talisman, composed purely of spiritual energy, disappeared into the beast's body.

The next moment, a look of panic flashed in the eyes of the green deer. It felt its demonic power was tightly bound and very difficult to mobilize. It could only rely on the powerful body of the demon beast.

"Yo yo?"

Its eyes held a pleading look; it knew it must have been caused by its master's magic.

"do not worry."

Ji An patted its head and explained:
"I'm testing the power of this spell, and it seems pretty good."

The spell's effects will wear off in about ten hours; you can rest during this time.

He was very satisfied with the spell's effect; it was very useful for controlling targets.

The drawback is that it cannot be used in combat, because in a battle between Golden Core cultivators, the distance between the two sides is probably more than fifty feet, but the casting range of the Spirit Sealing Technique is only a few feet around him.

The green deer grinned, revealing its pearly white teeth. "Master, you were testing your magic, so why am I the one who got injured?"

It turned and ran wildly into the depths of the forest. At this moment, it was very weak and could not be discovered by its other 'companions'.

Ji An finished off the last of the spicy fish tails and drank a bowl of honey pearl rice porridge to end his dinner.

Not a drop of pine nut wine or green leaf wine remained on the table.

He patted his belly with satisfaction and praised:
"Xue Ning, your cooking skills have improved again."

The ingredients at Crimson Flame Peak are getting better and better. Even if there are no pills available, they can be supplemented with food. His cultivation level is improving much faster than that of his fellow disciples.

"Thank you for the praise, Ancestor," Zhang Xuening said with pride. She was qualified as a spirit chef.

She recalled her decision, hesitating to speak. The reason the ancestor chose her to be the spirit chef of Crimson Flame Peak was because her aptitude was low enough to allow her to serve for a long time.

Is her decision to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage a form of betrayal? If the Ancestor is unhappy about this, is there still a chance for her to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill?

Ji An noticed the conflict on her face and asked:

"You seem to have something to tell me, but you're having trouble knowing how to bring it up?"

Zhang Xuening hesitated for a moment, then softly revealed her plan.

Ji An frowned slightly and asked:
"You should know that attempting to reach a higher realm at an advanced age is extremely dangerous; failure means certain death."

Do you have this awareness?

"This disciple is well aware of the dangers involved, but having come into this world to become a cultivator, if there is a possibility of further advancement, this disciple is willing to give everything to try, even if it is like a moth flying into a flame."

Zhang Xuening's voice was soft, yet it possessed a resolute quality, like a biting wind sweeping across rocks. Ji An looked at his disciple and nodded slightly.
"You can try it if you're willing."

Here's a piece of advice for you: Once you've made a decision, don't look back.

Every dream is remarkable.

A cultivator's aptitude can change subtly over time. If someone breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, their aptitude will receive a significant boost.

If they can maintain this original aspiration, the sect might just have one more cultivator at the Chaoyuan stage.

Ji An flew away on a cloud and landed at the entrance of the cave halfway up the mountain.

He used his magic to nourish the two Crimson Cloud Pines, then entered the quiet room and took out the gourd stone.

The next moment, his figure disappeared.

The gourd-shaped stone floats in the air, and the flowers, birds, insects and fish on its surface seem to come alive. The sun, moon and stars twinkle, and the place seems to have become an endless starry sky.

Upon entering the small world, Ji An's first action was to fly into the lava abyss.

Where the Crimson Gold Carp was originally placed in the Lava Lake, there was no trace of the spirit fish; it was nowhere to be seen in the entire lake.

Ji An was not surprised; a smile appeared on his lips. This situation indicated that the spirit fish had broken free from its coma and dived into the depths of the lava lake.

Just as he was smiling, a strange noise suddenly came from the lake, and a wave of lava several meters high surged up and crashed towards him.

Ji An grinned, releasing his Golden Core level spiritual pressure outwards. The ripples that had just been stirred up were suppressed by the immense power, and he glimpsed the crimson-gold fish tail flick and disappear.

"They've rebelled!"

Ji An said with a crooked mouth, "This golden carp is very well adapted to the environment here, so I'm relieved."

After surveying the small world once, Ji An arrived at the very center and sat cross-legged under the Gathering Yuan Tree.

The spiritual veins here are of the highest grade of the second tier, and he wanted to see how effective it would be to cultivate here.

He circulated the Five Elements Wheel Sutra, and the spiritual energy in the small world gathered towards him. Five colors of spiritual light—white, black, blue, red, and yellow—drifted from the earth and vegetation, entering his mouth and nose along with the spiritual energy.

The veins on the surface of the Five Elements Divine Palace periodically brighten and dim, as if it were breathing.

The spiritual energy flowed through the immortal veins, quickly transforming into spiritual liquid, and finally into crystal sand, completing the transformation from spiritual energy to magical power.

A small portion of the magical power flowed into the dantian, and the primordial fire and the stone tortoise received some as well.

Most of the magical power entered the middle dantian and was absorbed into the golden core.

Over the years, a massive amount of magical power has been poured into the Golden Core, but it has neither increased nor decreased; the only change is that its color has become slightly brighter.

This was Ji An's first time cultivating in a small world after breaking through to the Golden Core stage. He felt particularly peaceful and wonderful, as if he were soaking in a hot spring, and it was indescribably comfortable.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji An felt his soul begin to tire, so he ended his cultivation.

He felt that cultivating here was different from usual; the spiritual energy here seemed to be purer.

half year later.

The Golden Crow falls in the west and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east.

By the cold pool, Ji An gazed at the mountain peak, where golden-red mist still billowed from Crimson Flame Peak, maintaining its bustling activity like a marketplace.

For some reason, memories of his past life surged up, and a line from a song came to mind.

"I've waited so long and finally today has come. I've dreamed for so long and finally my dream has come true."

Crimson Flame Peak will soon be upgraded to the third tier; that day is finally approaching.

Ji An took out a communication golden sword that he hadn't used in a long time, entered the information in sequence, and then activated it all at once.

The golden light, like a graceful swimming fish, disappeared into the dazzling night sky.

The improvement in the quality of the spiritual veins meant that Crimson Flame Peak would erupt again. He notified all the Golden Core cultivators who remained in the sect, as well as Jia Yu in the Treasure Pavilion.

Liu Yu and Ge Luoying are not currently at the sect; otherwise, he would have informed them as well.

When Crimson Flame Peak erupted last time, a third-tier spiritual item, the Phoenix Stone, appeared. I wonder what good things this eruption will bring.

Since he broke through to the Golden Core stage, his contact with Jia Yu has decreased, and sometimes they don't even see each other once a year.

This time, he invited the other party to come a few days early, offering plenty of good wine, and also hosted a banquet for the sect leader.

A faint aura of death began to emanate from the two of them; time is the enemy of all living beings.

Ji An summoned a maid and instructed her:

"The sect's True Immortals will be visiting in a few days. Please prepare second-grade top-quality spirit wine and the best ingredients."

He wasn't sure if Senior Brother Yuxiao would come, but Li Haoran would definitely arrive.

Upon reaching the Golden Core stage, sword cultivators must search for and refine third-tier spiritual objects, and then use secret methods to refine their natal flying sword.

A sword cultivator's strength lies in the flying sword they cultivate with their lifeblood. Li Haoran doesn't have a stable channel to obtain third-tier spiritual items, so he certainly won't miss this opportunity.

Zhang Xuening responded loudly:

"Yes, sir. However, I'm afraid I can't handle it all by myself, and that would be disrespectful to all the elders."

This disciple humbly requests that we invite our two senior uncles, Xia Yulian and Xia Yuhan, to come and help.

To be honest, she felt a little guilty when she heard that all the patriarchs had come.
