Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 559 Urgent Mission

No more thunder fell from the sky, and the dark clouds quickly dispersed.

The Azure Dragon, formed from the magical artifact, shrank to a foot in length and frolicked beside its master.

Just as Ji An was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright, crystalline light in the distance, which seemed to be a blue flash of lightning.

He flew over and discovered that they were two spirit herbs, completely black with long, narrow leaves.

Their plants emit a radiant glow, and the tips of their leaves occasionally release a blue electric light.

It is clearly a second-tier spiritual plant.

"Lightning-attracting grass?"

Ji An whispered and extended his divine sense to sense its life strength; it was a second-tier low-grade plant.

He didn't know what the Thunder-Attracting Grass was for, but second-tier plants were extremely rare, so he dug the spirit herb out with the soil still on and put it in the jade box without hesitation.

Being able to become a second-tier spiritual herb, its potential should be further explored.

Ji An extended his divine sense and found two more first-grade high-quality lightning-attracting grasses.

He carried the jade box and rode the clouds back to his temporary cave at top speed.

He activated the spell to isolate himself from the outside world, then entered the innermost quiet room, eager to step into his little world.

As soon as he enters the small world, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner will inevitably fly out from his dantian and transform into a Qilin that frolics among the branches and leaves of the Gathering Yuan Tree.

Ji An planted four lightning-attracting grasses near the Gathering Yuan Tree, and then released the Earth Vein Ascension Technique.

A warm, yellow aura filled the area, golden lotuses sprouted from the ground, and nourishing spiritual energy spread out.

The Thunder-Attracting Grass is only a second-tier low-grade plant, but the conditions in the Calabash World are exceptionally favorable, making successful transplantation highly likely.

He conducted experiments at Crimson Flame Peak and found that the success rate of transplanting second-tier low-grade spiritual plants was about 60%, while the success rate of transplanting second-tier mid-grade spiritual plants was only 10%.

He didn't even attempt to transplant the second-tier high-grade spiritual plants, having no hope of success.

As the quality of the Gathering Yuan Tree increases, it remains to be seen whether the success rate of transplantation will improve further; we can only wait and test it later.

Ji An then unleashed the Azure Dragon Water Moon Technique, where the Taiyin Moon shone brightly, its cool radiance making his soul feel exceptionally comfortable and giving him a unique sense of peace.

A lifelike azure dragon appeared, a vast dragon roar resounded, and a burgeoning spiritual power spread out.

The earth unicorn flew to the sky above the Gathering Yuan Tree, proudly raised its head, and let out a deep, resonant roar, unwilling to be outdone.

"Ow!"

The earth trembled, and its sound echoed throughout the entire small world.

Ji An smiled. Every time he released the Azure Dragon Water Moon Technique, the Earth Qilin would respond solemnly, as if declaring its sovereignty, which was adorably silly.

Thinking of this, Ji An summoned his newly created magical artifact.

However, he did not immediately transform the Azure Lotus Banner into its physical form. Instead, he held the magic weapon in its original form and examined the damage it had sustained.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

He examined the flag from all angles, but found no damage whatsoever.

"How can it be?!"

He questioned the last bolt of lightning that struck the sky; it was thicker and more imposing than any thunderbolt he had seen before, and it put even more pressure on him.

At that time, the Azure Lotus Banner was still a top-grade spiritual artifact, so there was no reason why it wouldn't suffer any damage.

'What happened?'

He communicated with the magical artifact through spiritual means, and the artifact, having successfully taken human form, could then have simple conversations with its master.

As spirituality increases, the intelligence level of the magical artifact will also continuously improve.

The Azure Dragon's reply echoed in his mind, revealing that he was not unharmed; his injuries were quite severe.

However, after the transformation of the magical artifact was completed, the vigorous life force quickly healed the injuries.

From now on, as long as the core magical restrictions are not damaged, it can quickly heal itself when there is sufficient energy.

Even if the core legal prohibitions are violated, as long as they are not completely destroyed, they can be slowly repaired.

Ji An was overjoyed, as this meant he could confidently use the Azure Lotus Banner as a defensive magic weapon.

He recalled that when they were at Mingfeng Mountain, Lin Qiubai used the metal element to measure him, while he used the wood element to resist with endless vitality.

Metal overcomes Wood, but if Wood is abundant, the relationship of mutual restraint is not so obvious.

"Transform, transform into the largest form you can achieve."

The original form of the Azure Lotus Banner disappeared, replaced by an azure dragon over three zhang long.

A high-pitched dragon roar resounded throughout the land, and azure light spread outwards, instantly engulfing the entire small world.

On the blue earth, all the spiritual plants waved their branches, as if welcoming their king.

Ji An's eyes suddenly lit up. The magic weapon brought him even more surprises. He couldn't cover the entire small world even when he used all his magic, but the magic weapon did.

The earth unicorn's eyes widened, and its body grew equally enormous. It flew to the vicinity of the Azure Dragon and recognized its companion.

They often gather together in the primordial fire of the master's dantian.

The Azure Dragon let out a low roar, seemingly as a greeting, and the Qilin responded. The two shrank their bodies and gathered together to play.

half a month later.

Ji An entered the small world and found that one of the second-tier lightning-attracting grasses had withered, but another second-tier plant had grown new roots and was successfully transplanted.

"Not bad!"

Ji An felt relieved. He left the small world, tidied up his cave, and then rode away on a cloud. The duration of the heavenly lightning in Ji Lei Valley became increasingly shorter, sometimes going for several days without any lightning strikes.

Summer has passed, and the only way to refine the Flame Banner is next year.

He identified the direction, let out a long howl, and flew towards the Cloud Sea Immortal City.

The long howl signifies farewell; the Flame Banner still has a long way to go before it can be refined into a magical artifact.

The bright moon silently watched the cultivators hurrying on their journey. After a day and a night of flying, Ji An finally returned to his cave.

Ji An landed slowly and found two golden communication swords resting there.

The golden sword for communication relies on a magic array. If the target of the message is within the magic array, it will fly to the target's location.

If the target of the message is not within the range of the magic circle, it will go to the place where the target's aura is most concentrated.

Ji An reached out and grabbed the golden sword, then extended his divine sense to read the information within it.

A golden sword came from Master Qingfeng, informing him to go to the Certification Association to collect materials for drawing the Mind-Stabilizing Talisman and the Mind-Purifying Talisman.

The other golden sword came from Master Feiyun. He said that the list of items for the large-scale auction had been distributed and he could pick up a copy from the association when he had time.

The number of auction items will only increase, not decrease. Knowing the situation in advance allows for targeted preparation, preventing you from missing out on items you urgently need due to insufficient preparation.

He returned to his cave to rest and soon fell asleep.

Silent all night.

The next day, he woke up feeling refreshed.

After a quick wash, he left his cave and flew towards the core area of ​​the immortal city.

Ji An went to the Certification Association, first talked to Master Feiyun, and finally obtained the auction house's list.

He then found Master Qingfeng and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist, I've come to receive the mission."

Master Qingfeng placed a storage bag on the table and said in a deep voice:

"There are twenty sets of materials for the Mind-Stabilizing Talisman and three hundred sets of materials for the Mind-Purifying Talisman. The success rate is required to be over 40%, and the goods must be delivered within one month."

If there are any remaining talismans after submitting enough, the association is willing to take them back.

"Thanks to your return, fellow Daoist; otherwise, the association might not have been able to complete this mission."

Ji An looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"When did the association's mandate become mandatory?"

Whether or not a cultivator accepts a commission is their own decision; there's no such thing as forcing someone to do it. Judging from the other party's tone, it seemed as if the commission had already been accepted on his behalf, which made him quite unhappy.

"This is an urgent task. Not only here, but certification associations in other regions will also receive similar tasks."

Fellow Daoist, you can certainly choose whether or not to accept the quest; that's your prerogative. However, I suggest you accept it.

"The contribution points awarded for drawing spirit talismans this time are 1.5 times the usual amount. Taking on similar tasks can greatly shorten the time required to accumulate contribution points."

Fellow Daoist, you will also be able to acquire the methods for drawing other talismans sooner. There are countless benefits and no drawbacks, so why not do it?

Ji An's gaze hardened. The Purifying Spirit Talisman and the Stabilizing Spirit Talisman were mainly used to deal with demonic cultivators.

The certification association has issued an urgent task for drawing talisman charters. Could it be that a demonic disaster has broken out somewhere?

When he was in Xizhou, Senior Brother Zhengyang told him about the Tribulation of the True Demon, saying that it would be a long time before the calamity broke out.

He pondered:

"No problem, I'll accept this task, but do you know why this task was posted?"

He needed to confirm the reason for the expedited mission. If it was a sign of the impending outbreak of the True Demonic Calamity, he would need to adjust his plans.

Master Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then said casually:

"The association did not inform us."

"I understand."

Ji An knew his guess was probably true, but he didn't know whether the effect would be short-term or long-term.

They discussed the details of the commission and finally signed an agreement.

There were two copies of the agreement. Ji An put one away and asked:

"Fellow Daoist, I would like to purchase some Golden Core level spells. Do you have any connections?"

There are still many magical abilities in the stone tortoise that he hasn't put to use yet. Now that the situation is urgent, he wants to buy some magic to protect himself as soon as possible.

What type of spell are you planning to buy?

Ji An recounted them as if they were his own treasures:
"I need the Earth Divine Thunder, Water Divine Thunder, and Fire Divine Thunder. In addition to these three thunder spells, I also want to purchase metal element defensive spells."

He was well-versed in the Five Elements, so gathering the Five Elements Divine Thunder was a natural choice. With five types of thunder magic, the need for other attack spells became dispensable.

The Qian and Dui spirits are the most abundant spiritual energy, and these two spirits will not be needed for a long time to come. Learning a metal-element defensive spell is the best choice.

He wasn't in a hurry before, but now he feels a sense of crisis.

Master Qingfeng thought for a moment and said:
“In the Immortal City, you can buy spell jade slips at Tingfeng Pavilion. As long as you can afford the price, you can buy most spells at the Golden Core level.”

"I can introduce you to my fellow Daoist; would you like to go there now?"

Ji An's expression became more lively:
"Of course, please lead the way, fellow Daoist."

He has ample resources and belongs to the type of cultivator who can afford the cost.

Master Qingfeng stood up. "Fellow Daoist, please."
