Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 603 The Rewards of Doing Good Deeds
Ji An had a deeper consideration; he knew that only by demonstrating his value could he gain more recognition.

When disaster strikes, only by sticking together and supporting each other can we survive safely.

His label is that of a cultivator from the Western Continent. If he can save Master Moyun, people will subconsciously overlook this identity.

This is a life-saving grace; Master Moyun will owe a tremendous debt of gratitude.

Even if his plan fails and Master Moyun dies, his 'righteous act' will still earn him praise from his teammates, and everyone will be willing to play with him in the future.

Everyone was stunned, and Master Yunyan was even more astonished. Although she asked aloud, she did not have much hope in her heart.

Over the course of two years, she also learned about Ji An's abilities through various channels. Although he had secret methods to enhance the effects of pills, he did not have many pill formulas.

After all, he was a cultivator from the Western Continent, and his vision and foundation were not as good as those of cultivators from the Central Continent.

But at this moment, she looked at Ji An with new respect. He could come up with a solution so quickly and logically, so he must be quite confident.

Master Moyun felt a surge of ecstatic joy at having escaped a desperate situation. He stood up, supporting himself on the table with both hands, and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"Please, fellow Daoist, go ahead and do as you please. If I survive, I will follow you to the death whenever you need me!"
"If I am still killed by the Heavenly Technique, I am willing to offer five hundred high-grade spirit stones as a reward."

Previously, the best purification talismans people had come into contact with were of the second-tier high-grade level, and third-tier low-grade talismans were unheard of.

As for the other party's mention of refining the spirit-sealing technique, he subconsciously ignored it.

Master Yunyan coughed twice and said in a deep voice:

"Please give it your best, fellow Daoist. Regardless of the outcome, I will report your achievements to the True Lord and strive for a reward for you."

Master Ji An was overjoyed; this was exactly what he wanted to hear.

However, there is a loophole that needs to be fixed. The talisman was nurtured on the Bodhi tree in the small world. He needs to immediately use the bark of the Azure Dragon Wood to refine and draw the Purification Talisman when he returns to Black Stone Mountain.

As for whether the Cleansing Talisman, made from the bark of the Azure Dragon Tree, can be upgraded to a third-grade low-level talisman, that is not so important at the moment.

In addition, he will plant a few Bodhi trees in the spiritual field outside the cave, which will completely form a logical closed loop.

"As a fellow member of Blackwind Ridge Fortress, I am happy to be able to do my part for everyone."

Please wait a moment, everyone. The talisman is in the attic; I'll be right back.

Ji An turned and strode away. The talisman was still in the gourd world. He didn't have it with him, so he could only tell a white lie to go back to the attic to 'retrieve' it.

Master Yunyan exclaimed in admiration:
"Master Xuanqing's willingness to offer the precious talisman shows that he is genuinely trying to help us."

In the current situation, a third-tier low-grade Purification Talisman can be used as a trump card. The fact that the opponent can take it out without hesitation shows their noble character.

“Yes,” Wan Jinrong immediately echoed. If Master Moyun could be cured, he was willing to pay a high price to purchase a third-tier Purification Talisman.

Ji An quickly returned to the attic, holding a talisman that emitted a soft white spiritual light.

"Let's get started now!"

He activated the sealing technique, his hand seals rapidly changing, leaving afterimages as he used five-colored spiritual light to outline runes in the void, and a mysterious aura spread throughout the pavilion.

Wan Jinrong stared wide-eyed at everything, never expecting that Fellow Daoist Ji would have such skill.

Foundation Establishment stage cultivators can access spirit sealing techniques, and he can also do them, but he can't reach that level when casting spells.

The Spirit Sealing Technique is an easy-to-learn but difficult-to-master spell. Cultivators can open up the Five Elements Divine Palace and comprehend the divine intent of the mutual generation of the Five Elements, thereby breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

However, even among Golden Core cultivators, there are varying degrees of understanding of the various Five Elements powers. People tend to specialize in one or two, as their energy does not allow them to study all the Five Elements powers.

Not only him, but everyone was watching Ji An's movements.

Ji An drew upon his Qi to form a talisman, which formed a spirit-sealing talisman outlined by the five elements of spiritual light in the air.

The moment the talisman took shape, all the mysterious auras receded, and everyone could only see the light screen, but could not feel any fluctuations of spiritual power.

Ji An raised his hand and gently pressed down, and the talisman rushed into the body of Master Moyun.

A flash of light appeared, and Master Moyun examined his body internally. His face first showed a look of astonishment, and then he was overjoyed.

His spiritual power was sealed, but it did not prevent him from using his divine sense to examine his body.

He discovered that his spiritual power was completely blocked, along with the demonic energy that was causing the pollution.

In this way, even if the third-tier purification talisman fails, he will have time to wait for the True Lord's rescue.

Ji An asked with a smile:
"How do you feel, fellow Daoist? Did the sealing effect work?"

He had only tested this spell on the Azure Deer, and the effect was quite good. However, the Azure Deer was only a Chaoyuan-level demon beast, and he was not sure how effective it would be on a Golden Core cultivator.

Another point is that Master Moyun's realm is higher than his, which may prevent him from having enough time to exert his influence.

"great!"

Master Moyun recounted the information he had obtained through his inner vision, a smile spreading across his face. He then urged, "..."

"Please activate the precious talisman, fellow Daoist."

A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. After the demonic energy was sealed, the pain in his body immediately lessened by more than half, and he had more confidence in the plan.

Ji An activated the Purifying Spirit Talisman, and a beam of light, like the bright moonlight, enveloped Mo Yun Zhenren before converging into his body. The talisman had changed, its purifying power greatly enhanced, now upgraded to the lower third rank.

Master Moyun examined his body internally, subconsciously holding his breath to check the effect of the talisman. After a moment, he burst into laughter with tears in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, thank you for your efforts that have given me a new life!"
The demonic energy was being rapidly purified. Based on the current purification rate, it was estimated that at least 60% of the contamination would be removed once the purification talisman's energy was depleted.

Ji An said with relief:
"It would be best if I could help you, fellow Daoist. Without your contribution, the fortress would be less secure."

People lift each other up; he was a shrewd person in his past life, and he deeply understood that one should speak sweetly but act ruthlessly.

Even the usually aloof Master Yunyan smiled and said:

"The purification speed will only get faster and faster. Once the purification talisman's energy is exhausted, more than 60% of the pollution will be purified, and conservatively estimated, it will be 80%."

Once the sources of pollution are reduced, the effects of the second-tier Vajra Pill and the Purifying Spirit Talisman will become apparent; at worst, we can just use them a few more times.

The somber atmosphere in the attic vanished, replaced by smiles on everyone's faces.

Master Moyun bowed deeply and said:
"It is thanks to your kindness that I have been reborn. This precious talisman is extremely valuable, and no one else can perform such a spirit-sealing technique."

I don't know how much this kind of talisman costs, but I'll compensate you.

One must be able to distinguish right from wrong in life, otherwise one is destined to find one's path becoming increasingly narrow.

Ji An said half-jokingly, "Didn't you already say that you owe me a favor and are willing to be at my beck and call? Are you going to go back on your word?"

"How could that be? Favors are one thing, and compensation is another."

Ji An pondered for a moment and said, "Take five high-grade spirit stones. Fellow Daoist, you just happened to use the talisman at the right time."

The Purification Talisman only becomes precious when the other party happens to use it; normally, it's just a fairly common consumable.

There's no need to make exorbitant demands at this point; it would only give the impression of taking advantage of someone's kindness. The favor the other party owes you is the greatest reward for today.

Master Moyun scratched his head vigorously. If something worth five high-grade spirit stones could save his life, it made his life seem too cheap.

"Fellow Daoist is so magnanimous, but it makes it even more difficult for me to decide what kind of reward to give you."

Wan Jinrong understood Ji An's thoughts and smiled as he spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Moyun, Fellow Daoist Xuanqing also cast a spell once. I suggest you give him ten high-grade spirit stones."

"I'll let you in on a secret: Fellow Daoist Xuanqing enjoys collecting seeds of various high-grade spirit trees. You could help him collect them; he'd definitely love it."

"really?"

"Of course, you can ask him if you don't believe me."

Ji An replied with a smile:
“Master Jinrong is right. I have a lot of experience in planting and I like to collect all kinds of seeds. As long as the spiritual plant can grow to the third level, it meets my requirements.”

Once the mission is over and he returns to Cloud Sea Immortal City, he'll have to treat Wan Jinrong to a few drinks; the other party has been incredibly cooperative.

Master Moyun took out ten spirit stones and guaranteed:

"After I finish this mission and leave, I'll ask a friend to inquire about collecting some rare seeds."

Ji An did not refuse and generously accepted the spirit stones.

Master Moyun turned his head and said sadly:

"Sir, I suspect that the true demon let me go intentionally. The danger of future patrol missions will increase significantly. I suggest we report this and request the True Lord to come and search for the enemy."

With only three people left in the squad, and so many familiar faces dying before his eyes, he couldn't forget the desperate and helpless expressions on many of their faces as they faced death.

Master Yunyan's expression also turned serious. "It is certain that we will report it, but I am not sure whether the True Lord will come to search based solely on your guess."

You say the true demon did this intentionally, but what was the motive?

"I suspect it might be to find a place for us to stay, with the ultimate goal of hunting us down."

Many demonic beasts have a habit of toying with their prey; in the eyes of that true demon, we were the prey.

Master Moyun thought about it more and more and felt that this was the most likely possibility, since the enemy clearly had the strength to kill them all.

Master Yunyan's gaze turned cold. "For the foreseeable future, I will also participate in the patrols of each squad. If the True Demon reappears, I will make sure it never returns!"

She thought for a moment, then gave the following instructions:
“Fellow Daoist Moyun, your team is now practically defunct, and you have been severely contaminated. You can rest for a few days before carrying out the mission.”

"As ordered."

Master Moyun changed the subject, saying with some distress:
"This true demon is extremely cunning; I'm worried it can detect the strength of patrol teams from afar."

"Sir, you won't be on patrol all the time. If we encounter trouble while you're away, I'm very worried about the safety of the patrol team."

He felt his guess was about 70-80% accurate; the true demons that attacked them had demonstrated intelligence.

Master Yunyan thought for a moment and asked:
"If Fellow Daoist Moyun's guess is true, what should we do?"
Think about this carefully, everyone; it's directly related to our lives and safety.
