Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 611 Relics of the Physical Body?

In the gourd world, a dark red square table is placed under the Gathering Yuan Tree, made of second-grade top-quality Crimson Cloud Pine.

The wood is fine-grained with a unique aroma, and its grain resembles flames with evenly distributed stripes.

The spirit trees that grow in the small world are not harmed by various harsh weather conditions, and their stripes are very even.

On the square table sits a white porcelain teapot, its pale blue color outlining a scene of a lone fisherman on a cold river.

Steam rose from the tea spout, dissipating in the breeze and blurring the figure of the puppet beside it.

The icy setting, filled with scalding hot tea, creates a unique and delightful ambiance.

Not far away, Ji An activated the Azure Lotus Burning Heart Flame, with blue, red, and white flames evenly distributed at the bottom of the Blazing Sun Furnace.

The golden feathers of the flamingo relief on the furnace body shimmered, and the runes engraved inside the furnace moved swiftly like a swimming dragon.

He manipulated his magic to lift the lid of the alchemy furnace, his hand seals flowing smoothly as he used the method of dividing the elixir, instantly splitting a ball of liquid into five equal portions.

The lid was closed again, and at this moment, several wisps of smoke rose from the furnace, transforming into miniature dragons that hovered over the surface of each ball of liquid.

With each rotation of the dragon-shaped smoke, some impurities would be released from the elixir, and ash would fall and be blown out at the vent at the bottom of the furnace.

Ji An reduced the output of the flames, and the temperature inside the furnace dropped rapidly, causing the pills to solidify.

A moment later, the cry of a crane echoed inside the furnace, and pale golden spiritual energy spewed out from the dragon's mouth on the lid of the alchemy furnace.

With lightning speed, he made a hand seal and lifted the lid. Five golden pills, each wrapped with three stripes, flew out one after another and landed precisely in the jade bottle he had prepared beforehand.

Ji An released the Lesser Cloud Rain Technique, and crystal-clear, jade-like raindrops fell, cleansing the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace was placed in the dantian for nurturing. At this moment, this magic weapon monopolized the primordial fire, while the other three magic weapons all flew out to play.

The spirituality of the alchemy furnace is somewhat inferior to that of other magical treasures. Unlike other magical treasures, the method of nourishing it with spiritual energy cannot significantly enhance the spirituality of the alchemy furnace. It requires more high-quality pills to be refined in order to nourish the alchemy furnace.

"The work that had been piling up is finally finished."

Ji An sighed and strolled to the tall, canopy-like Juyuan tree.

The puppet immediately poured a cup of tea. The tea soup of the third-grade, mid-level Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea was silvery, like the lake water under the bright moon. It tilted its head and presented the tea cup with both hands.

Ji An raised his eyebrows and said:

"I feel that your spirituality is getting stronger and stronger."

It's a wonderful feeling, like a robot has gained consciousness.

A smile appeared on the puppet's face, and a glimmer of light seemed to appear in its empty eyes, but it vanished in an instant and went unnoticed by the tea drinkers.

Ji An tilted his head back and drank the spiritual tea in one gulp. "Comfortable, another cup."

As the hot tea entered my throat, snowflakes drifted down in my mind, spreading a refreshing coolness that instantly soothed my weary soul.

Today, I refined ten batches of Vajra Pills. Two batches were refined in the cave, and the rest were refined in the small world.

Alchemy requires concentration. One must constantly use one's spiritual sense to perceive the temperature of the furnace and the state of the elixir inside.

Only by achieving real-time control can we improve the success rate and the rate of producing high-quality pills.

Every material was hard-won, so whether he was refining elixirs or drawing talismans, he spared no effort in expending his divine sense.

Therefore, he also accumulated a lot of Vajra Pills and Purification Talismans.

He doesn't need these things because he has better ones, but he can give them to his fellow disciples who have come from afar.

News wasn't completely isolated within the fortress; he already knew who the visitor was: Lin Jiuxiao, the former head of the Law Enforcement Hall.

He was somewhat surprised, yet also somewhat enlightened.

When Senior Brother Zhengyang was still alive, he had discussed with him the selection of a successor to Senior Brother Yuxiao, and at that time, Yuxiao was the one he preferred.

Ji An is leaving the sect to travel, and his return date is uncertain. Lin Qiubai and Li Haoran are sword cultivators who act boldly and aggressively, believing that it is better to take the straightforward path than to seek it through crooked means.

Such cultivators are suitable to be henchmen, not leaders of a sect, unless there are no other candidates, and neither of them wants to be bound to the position of sect leader.

Lin Jiuxiao, who came from the Enforcement Hall, started as an ordinary member and worked his way up to the position of Hall Master. He has both "grassroots work experience" and experience in wielding power.

He has the courage to take drastic measures when faced with problems, and he knows when to back down when encountering difficulties; he is practically the chosen leader.

A memory flashed in Ji An's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Time flies.

He sighed at the fleeting years, drank his tea, and then held the empty cup up to the puppet.

More than thirty years have passed since I left the sect. I wonder if the gray-feathered sand goose on Crimson Flame Peak is doing well now.
What level has that Soul-Nourishing Wood, cultivated with the ashes of Senior Brother Zhengyang, reached now? Has the annual pine cone yield of that Red Cloud Pine increased?
How are the three disciples doing these days? Do they have the potential to reach the Golden Core stage in the future?
After finishing the pot of spiritual tea, Ji An gathered his scattered thoughts and gave the order:

"Go and bring me my medicinal mud."

The medicinal mud made from Vajra Bodhi fruit is best placed in cold water. The ponds in the black soil are also cold pools, and the jars containing the medicinal mud are always placed near the spring.

The puppet bowed slightly, then turned and ran through the woods.

Ji An stood up and took off his Taoist robe and undershirt, leaving him in only shorts. His muscles weren't exaggerated, but every inch of them was full of explosive power. He circulated his qi and blood, and his body heated up and entered the state in two seconds, warming up as easily as turning on a switch.

The blood and qi surged through the body, like a river washing over the flesh.

Other cultivators practicing body-refining techniques need to carefully control their qi and blood to avoid the impact being too strong and damaging their internal organs.

However, Ji An was a cultivator at the third level of the Golden Core stage, and the strength of his Five Elements Divine Palace was not afraid of the impact of blood and qi.

The surging of vital energy and blood, wave after wave, allows the Five Elements Divine Palace to reach a wondrous state of resonance.
The puppet quickly ran back carrying the medicine jar. Ji An smeared the medicinal mud on his hands and then quickly spread it all over his body.

Over the years, he has been using third-grade low-level medicinal mud, which has provided his muscles and bones with abundant nourishment.

After applying the medicinal mud and practicing the exercise again, the feeling was different.

The power of Qi and blood began to heat up, and after flowing through the body for a moment, it formed a special force field that squeezed the bones and indirectly tempered the bone marrow.

Strands of blood energy emanated from the Five Elements Divine Palace, gathering at the Tanzhong acupoint, but not within the middle dantian.

It's not quite like blood and qi, though. Normal blood and qi are reddish, but this one is pale golden.

This was different from usual, but after examining his body internally, he found nothing wrong and continued his cultivation without interruption.

The speed of the cultivation technique increased, and a surging sound came from Ji An's body. His body was like a furnace that was being heated up, and the temperature rose rapidly.

There was no discomfort at all; it just felt warm and comfortable.

Like the Golden Jade Bone Body, the Immovable King Technique was taught by no one and had to be figured out entirely on his own.

As long as he felt no discomfort the day after practicing, Ji An believed that there was no problem with his practice. After countless trials and errors, he finally developed a practice method that suited him.

I don't know how much medicinal mud was wasted during that time, but fortunately we were rich and could afford it.

As usual, Ji An cultivated his skills at his own pace. He wasn't in a hurry to break through his cultivation level, because there was no point in being anxious.

As long as you're sure you're on the right path, things will fall into place naturally.

With a proper mindset, which perfectly aligned with the natural way of things, Ji An suddenly felt his blood and qi circulation speed break through the threshold and increase dramatically.

His body temperature soared again, and his skin turned bright red, as if all his blood and energy had rushed to his skin.

He felt his bones boiling, a mix of heat, numbness, and itchiness surging through him, almost making him lose control.

At first, Ji An endured the discomfort. He had never experienced such a direct impact on his bone marrow during his previous cultivation. Today's cultivation seemed different from the very beginning.

The tingling and itching sensation grew stronger and stronger, like thousands of ants crawling inside my bones. Simply enduring it was no longer enough to stop the effects, and it seriously impacted my cultivation state.

Finally, Ji An couldn't bear it any longer and stopped, starting to think about where things had gone wrong, since everything seemed fine.

After racking his brains for a long time without finding a solution, he tried several more times, but the same thing happened every time.

"Does this skill require the use of visualization and contemplation to be practiced?"

Ji An asked himself softly, because the general outline of the cultivation method clearly stated that physical and spiritual methods should be practiced simultaneously.

His eyes were fixed, as he pondered whether there were other ways to bypass this "setting".

What is the purpose of visualization? To put it simply, it is to gather one's spirit and merge it into the spirit of visualization, so that the spirit can take over the command of the circulation of qi and blood.

He believed that the god of visualization was an external god, so he did not practice any methods of visualization.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji An, who was deep in thought, vaguely felt a breeze blowing past his ear, lifting a few strands of hair and patting his face.

He suddenly realized that the setting of cultivating both the method of visualization and the method of physical body at the same time must have been a well-planned scheme, and it was impossible to bypass it by normal means.

Then let's stop wasting our time and continue cultivating using the current method, withdrawing our physical senses.

The "signals" sent from the bone marrow are no longer processed by the central nervous system. Just like a person who has lost consciousness, if they cannot feel pain, they will not feel pain.

"There is a door!"

Ji An felt as if he had grasped the key points. He calmed his mind and, once his emotions had settled, began cultivating again.

The power of Qi and blood surged from the Five Elements Divine Palace and gathered at the Tanzhong acupoint. The circulation of Qi and blood accelerated, and the bone marrow began to boil. The process was exactly the same as before.

Ji An immersed all his senses into the gathering golden blood energy, constantly adjusting his state, and finally isolated himself from the intense discomfort caused by the bone marrow.

The boiling bone marrow fluid slowly calmed down, the bones changed from white jade to a light gold, and the roar of dragons and tigers came from the chest cavity.

His skin shone with golden light, like a Buddha statue sculpted in a temple.

The golden blood energy emitted a golden glow and suddenly appeared in the middle dantian.

Upon entering this place, the blood energy naturally merged into the golden core.

At this moment, Ji An's bones emitted a deep, long sound, which sounded like thunder.

An immense power surged upwards from his feet, instantly spreading throughout his entire body, causing his vital energy to surge dramatically.

Ji An understood that his physical strength had reached the level of Golden Core body cultivation, but naturally he did not possess any relics.
