Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 631 From Beginner to Perfection

Master Lieyang left the room and quickly returned, handing over a jade bottle with a color like white frost:

"This is the Gui Water Cleansing Meridian Pill. Fellow Daoist, do you intend to purchase it with spirit stones or through some other means?"

"Of course, it's done with contribution points."

Ji An took out his alchemist jade token. Over the decades, he had taken on many missions from the association and earned a lot of contribution points, but he hadn't used them up much. He had saved them all to exchange for pill formulas for the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Knowing his situation, Master Lieyang took the jade tablet and said:

"It will cost 26,000 contribution points. I think it's a waste for you to have accumulated so many contribution points. Why not let them play a role now?"

Ji An shook his head, "Stop trying to fool me. The things I can exchange for right now are not very useful to me."

He picked up the jade bottle, poured the pill into his palm to examine it, and then put it away.

The first thing to do upon returning is to raise the Azure Water Turtle's cultivation level, so that it doesn't continue to drag down the average strength of the beast-taming team.

Master Lieyang deducted the contribution points, returned the jade token, and said:
"I've received word that a batch of Vajra Pills needs to be refined in a few months. I can allocate fifty batches to you, is that alright?"

"I'd be happy to earn points for contributing."

Ji An still had some contribution points left to exchange for late-stage Golden Core pills, so he couldn't relax.
"What's the situation like in the Wulanshan area now? There haven't been any more conscriptions in recent years, so it seems like things are going very well."

The area covered by the demonic mist has become much larger, and its concentration has decreased relatively.

Master Lieyang waved his hand gently, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but the information I received indicates that the recruitment follows certain rules."

He lowered his voice and continued:

"The purpose of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs is to train troops. If they perform well enough in the Misty Mountain area, they will not be conscripted again for the time being."

The purpose is to let as many cultivators as possible know what the fighting methods of true demons and demon lords are and how to deal with them.

In this way, once the war breaks out in full force, everyone will be experienced, the casualty rate will not be too high, and the war will not last too long. It is necessary to ensure that the human race has sufficient war potential.

By the way, fellow Daoist, you've stayed in Misty Mountain, have you ever seen how demonic cultivators fight?

Ji An shook his head. "No."

It was only after he left Wulan Mountain that he learned by chance from Zhenyue Zhenren what kind of plan the True Lords had launched.

He greatly admired the decisions of the True Lords. The fact that the Nascent Soul forces were preparing in an orderly manner for the True Demon Tribulation gave him peace of mind.

In the last battle against the True Demon Realm, the cultivation world gained the upper hand. After tens of thousands of years of development, the cultivation world, with its overall strength even greater, has no reason to suffer a crushing defeat.

Master Lieyang sighed, "It seems the secrecy work has been done quite well. The area of ​​Wulan Mountain is now much larger, but the demand for purifying pills like the Vajra Pill is decreasing year by year."

I chatted with Master Qingfeng and learned that the demand for resources such as the Cleansing Talisman is also showing a downward trend.

Even if a full-scale war breaks out in the future, the cultivation world as a whole will be much less affected.

This is good news. The battle between the two worlds has fully erupted, and even Golden Core cultivators have to be on tenterhooks.

Now that the most dangerous tasks have been taken on, the cultivation world can preserve more of its strength.

Ji An said solemnly:
"That would be for the best, but I'm worried about one thing: the enemies of the True Demon Realm are not complacent either."

In that case, we need to be even more prepared.

Master Lieyang laughed, “This is something that True Lords need to consider. We just need to do our job.”

Ji An smiled as well, "It's good to worry about only what you're capable of."

Ji An returned to the Black Stone Mountain cave and entered the gourd world.

As soon as he stepped into this land of hope, the three magical treasures, including the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, flew out.

As Ji An watched the Azure Dragon and Fire Phoenix depart, he felt it was time to seek out Wan Jinrong to discuss the matter of upgrading the magic weapon's grade.

If he reconsidered and suppressed the idea, it would be better to wait two more years until his fellow disciples arrived in Zhongzhou on merchant ships before searching for them.

Ji An flew on a cloud to the pond, close to the water's surface. Then he dispelled the clouds, took out a water-repelling pearl, and dived to the bottom of the pond.

The leaves of several water lilies swayed in the water; they had all reached the middle grade of the third rank.

Ji An thought that using lotus seeds instead of the sap of the Tianyuan pear tree could produce a higher-grade thunder pearl, but he was determined not to do so, as it was too extravagant.

In addition, he possesses powerful magic, so he doesn't have an urgent need for the Thunder Orb.

Using the spiritual light emitted by the Pure Water Lotus, Ji An found the Blue Shell that had buried him in the mud and sand.

He used his manipulation technique to pull the beast out and took out the Gui Water Cleansing Pill, waving it in front of its eyes.

The lazy tortoise immediately widened its eyes, its gaze revealing a burning light.

It became excited because it felt a throbbing deep within its blood, and its body inexplicably became hungry.

It began to communicate with its owner on a spiritual level, expressing its inner desires.

Ji An gently patted the ferocious blue-skinned head of the Azure Water Turtle and spoke softly:

Are you sure you're ready?

The Azure Water Turtle nodded its head rapidly, its eyes shining even brighter. No demon beast could remain calm in the face of an opportunity to enhance its bloodline.

Ji An took out a second-grade top-quality Heavenly Origin Pear and warned:

"Don't finish it, just a small bite is enough." The water turtle has thick skin and flesh, but it can't withstand the burst of spiritual energy from the high-level spiritual fruit inside its body. The internal organs are the most vulnerable part of any creature.

He reached out and handed over the spirit fruit, and the Azure Water Turtle opened its mouth wide, as if it could swallow his palm whole.

Lambeck restrained his eagerness, took only a small bite, and as he swallowed the spiritual fruit, the demonic aura emanating from his body began to slowly rise.

About half an hour later, the intensity of the demonic energy hovered within a certain range.

Ji An cut the spiritual fruit in half and threw it out along with the pill.

He used a clever technique, the pills and the spiritual fruit were almost touching, their flight trajectories were exactly the same, and the landing point was right next to Lan Bei's mouth.

Lan Bei opened her mouth wide, swallowed the pills and spiritual fruits, chewed them casually with her sharp teeth, and then swallowed them.

A moment later, the replenished Blue Shell Demon Power rose again, albeit very slowly, but it was increasing every moment.

This continued for another half hour, until its stagnant demonic power suddenly expanded like a balloon, and its body underwent a tearing transformation at that moment.

Its head looked even more ferocious, its claws gleaming with a cold light, and its neck stretched out long, looking down arrogantly at the restless fish swimming in the distance.

The shell of the Azure Water Turtle has a deeper color and features many mysterious patterns that resemble snowflakes.

When it noticed the gaze directed at it by its owner, it immediately lowered its head humbly and touched the mud and sand below.

"Indeed, you have accumulated a wealth of experience, and everything has fallen into place naturally."

Ji An tossed the remaining spiritual fruits away, saying, "Hurry up and stabilize your cultivation level. Tomorrow it's your turn and Golden Hair's turn to guard the cave. You can't be absent."

The blue water turtle looked a little aggrieved, but its owner could no longer see it.

Ji An emerged from the water, rode the black spiritual cloud into the sky, and just then heard the distant cry of deer.

A slight smile appeared on his lips. Currently, Qinglu's demonic power growth has reached a bottleneck. After accumulating a few more years of foundation, he can use elixirs to break through.

As the black dragon soared away, a rushing sound of water could be heard, as if it were applauding.

Ji An landed under the Gathering Yuan Tree and gave the instructions:
"Brew a pot of Enlightenment Tea."

The Enlightenment Tree grows slowly in the small world, but it has been growing vigorously and is now at the third-tier superior level.

He spent nearly 300 points of Daoist essence to help improve the grade of the spirit wood; otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to be upgraded to the superior grade.

This spirit tree must never be exposed to light, and he will never take even a single leaf out of the gourd world.

If the cultivators of the Golden Puppet Pavilion find out, who knows what might happen.

The fact that he was able to cultivate spiritual plants that other forces could hardly succeed in is bound to arouse the covetousness of others.

The puppet immediately sprang into action, lighting the stove and brewing spiritual tea.

The charcoal used is made from the third-tier Biluo tree and burned on red soil—that's how extravagant it is.

In the small world, the Biluo Tree can be upgraded to the third level in just over ten years after planting, so Ji An has plenty of resources.

In just a quarter of an hour, the puppet brought out the amber-colored spiritual tea. The tea soup was crystal clear and had a light fragrance that invigorated the spirit.

Ji An sipped the spiritual tea a few times and felt as if he were floating. Then he gulped it down and quickly finished the whole pot of tea.

He personally lit the sandalwood soul-nourishing incense and took out the magic jade slip that was as hard as metal and stone.

This is a defensive spell, and since the Qian and Dui spirits are the most numerous, they should be the first to be studied.

Two hours later, Ji An made a hand seal, and his magical power surged out from his dantian and circulated through his immortal meridians along a specific route.

Silver patterns appeared on the body, on the face and palms, and also on the skin covered by the Taoist robe.

The spell was successfully cast on the first try; it was the result of his years of accumulated experience.

Ji An felt that her skin had become firmer, and her complexion was as if it had been illuminated by the bright moonlight.

He focused his mind on his dantian and connected with the stone tortoise, and the elegant calligraphy appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Spell: Solid Metal (Beginner 1%)]

'Hehe, now comes the moment to witness a miracle.'

Ji An chuckled inwardly and gave the order:

"Refine the spiritual energy to enhance the strength of metal and stone."

His consciousness was drawn into the mysterious space of the stone tortoise, where he found himself standing between the Qian and Dui positions, his spiritual energy rapidly depleting, and his understanding of magic surging within him.

Ji An focused intently, doing his best to digest his insights and experiences.

Time doesn't pass here, so he couldn't sense how much time had gone by, but after realizing he had left the stone turtle space, he felt a splitting headache.

This is caused by cramming too much knowledge into one's head in a short period of time. This has happened before, but it hasn't happened again for many years.

Ji An greedily inhaled the spiritual energy infused with the Purple Orchid Soul-Nourishing Incense, and his headache gradually subsided. Ji An immediately connected with the stone tortoise.

He also used Daoist principles to upgrade the Soul-Nourishing Wood and Golden Leaf Sandalwood to the third-tier superior grade, because they were frequently used for incense.
