Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 695 Adding Another Golden Core Beast Taming Technique
As the two were talking, they heard a clear, melodious deer cry.

Qinglu now spends only one-third of each month in the Calabash World, and the rest of the time she helps with the spells on the spirit fields at the mountain gate. Her cry is that of a five-colored deer.

Soon, a spirit deer with five-colored light emanating from its antlers came running over happily.

Lianshan Zhenjun laughed and said:
"I sensed the well-rounded energy of this deer half a year ago, and now it seems that its accumulation is sufficient. The fog of its bloodline memories has dissipated somewhat, and it has obtained the breakthrough technique."

Ji An stroked the forehead of the five-colored deer, filled with emotion:
"Demonic beasts with high-quality bloodlines have a huge advantage."

The beast tamer told him that there was a secret method for breaking through in the bloodline inheritance, and all he needed to do was prepare some high-grade spiritual fruits.

"Don't envy this. Bloodlines will only become thinner with each generation. The meaning of inheritance lies in enabling cultivators with no foundation to reach the top of the mountains, not in relying on the glory of their ancestors."

Human cultivators do not inherit bloodline memories, but they have hundreds of millions of cultivators working together to promote the progress of the cultivation world.

In the beginning, we groveled under the tyranny of the demon beast tribes, but now we have driven all the demon beast tribes to the edge of the continent.

Currently, only sea beasts retain their glory, but one day, the footprints of cultivators will be imprinted on the vast blue waves.

Lian Shan Zhenjun spoke with a hint of pride, having witnessed the grand occasion of driving the top-tier demon beast clans out of the Central Continent.

Ji An smiled and continued, "Going back six thousand years, there were no human cultivators' strongholds in the Western Continent. The demon beast tribes here would raid eastward."

Now, with no Nascent Soul level combatants appearing, all the forces in the Western Continent united can keep the demon beast army outside their core territory.

The cultivation world has been developing steadily, with spiritual veins being cultivated to higher and higher grades, and the number of cultivators steadily increasing, thus exploring a path of sustainable development.

"YoYo!"

The five-colored deer was getting impatient. It felt it was ready to make a breakthrough and didn't want to listen to its master's idle chatter.

Ji An sensed its emotions and laughed twice. "Let's go out now."

The True Lord told him that the laws of the small world were not as sound as those of the outside world, and if he chose to break through here, the lightning tribulation would be less severe than in the outside world.

Despite seemingly having the same cultivation level, their foundation is naturally weaker.

The Five-Colored Deer's future role is that of an all-around warrior like him; of course, it cannot be weak, otherwise it would be a waste of its bloodline talent.

He turned to look at True Lord Lianshan and asked:

"Would you like to come out with us?"

"Okay, but I don't want to see outsiders."

"Rest assured, True Lord, I am the only cultivator on Crimson Flame Peak right now, and I haven't even arranged any maids."

One person, one puppet, and one deer left the small world and walked out of the cave.

It was midnight, a moonless night, but the sky was filled with the brilliant light of countless stars, and a cool breeze was blowing, refreshing and pleasant.

Black clouds spread out beneath Ji An's feet, carrying everyone away. He found an open space, put down the five-colored deer, and left behind a pile of spiritual fruits.

Twenty Vajra Bodhi fruits were left, as these sacred fruits are quite small.

Five each of Azure Mist Fruit, Green Vine Fruit, and Dragon Blood Fruit, ten Earth Spirit Fruits, and two mid-grade third-tier spirit fruits of the same Xuan Yuan quality.

Ji An hurriedly left on a cloud, knowing that there would be a tribulation of lightning when breaking through to the Golden Core stage, and if he didn't avoid it in time, he would be in dire straits.

He flew to the top of Crimson Flame Peak and quietly awaited the arrival of the Five-Colored Deer's tribulation.

Lian Shan Zhenjun said, "The tribulation of demonic beasts is affected by their bloodline. Wood-type demonic beasts need to undergo the tribulation of wood-type lightning, and fire-type demonic beasts need to undergo the tribulation of fire-type lightning."

The Five-Colored Deer has a special bloodline and, like cultivators, must undergo the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation, as well as the final Chaos Thunder Tribulation.

He had never seen how the Five-Colored Deer transcended its tribulations before; today he was going to learn something new.

Ji An smiled and said, "I hope the lightning tribulation is strong, but within its tolerable range."

He looked inward at his body and saw the stone tortoise quietly lying between two balls of flame in his dantian.

The greater the intensity of the lightning tribulation, the more Dao essence the stone turtle can absorb.

The starlight gradually dimmed and finally disappeared, and the east was brightened, with golden light embedded in the orange-red color.

As the rising sun leaps over the mountains and its radiance shines on the summit of Crimson Flame Peak, silvery-white tribulation clouds gather in the distance.

Ji An said softly:
"It started with a metal element lightning tribulation, so it will end with an earth element lightning tribulation."

Lianshan Zhenjun lowered his eyes and smiled:
"The element of earth encompasses all things, and it is reasonable to end with the tribulation of earth-element thunder."

By the way, how much have the spiritual plants in this land changed since you returned?

"The change is huge. Not to mention anything else, there are more mid-grade third-tier spirit trees, with a total of more than sixty trees, most of which are Azure Dragon Wood."

Of the red cloud pines planted later, the vast majority were originally only second-tier top-grade, but now there are more than two hundred third-tier low-grade ones.

The north side of the mountain has cultivated many shade-loving medicinal herbs, and their aging rate has increased threefold.

Ji An gave a general account of the changes over the past few years, explaining that his sixth-level Golden Core cultivation and perfected spells were no joke.

Now that I've broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, the quality of my mana will soon improve further, and the effects of my spells will naturally be enhanced.

After he returned, the Purple Cloud Tree, Phoenix Perching Tree, Nightshade Tree, and other trees he planted were all cultivated to the second-tier top quality.

The fruit of the lightning-struck peach tree had ripened. He ate one of the fruits and tried planting the seed. He discovered that this spirit peach had stronger fire elemental power, but it did not inherit more genes from the mother tree.

"What about that Soul-Nourishing Wood? Has its grade improved?"

Ji An slightly pursed his lips and said, "How could it be so fast? The spiritual veins of Crimson Flame Peak are only of the middle grade of the third rank, and it is already very difficult to support the spiritual trees of the upper grade of the third rank."

However, after I returned, the spirit tree was no longer the sickly tree it once was; it was now lush and verdant, thriving and growing strong.

The Soul-Nourishing Wood is already a high-grade third-tier plant. Although his planting spells are powerful, they are far from being able to quickly cultivate a top-grade third-tier spiritual plant.

He thought for a while and asked:
"True Lord, I've heard rumors that the Divine Tree Sect possesses a secret treasure that accelerates the growth of spiritual plants. Is this true?"

"There is no definitive conclusion on this matter, but I suspect it is true. The Five Elements Sect was established ten thousand years after the founding of the sect, and the sect was named after his Daoist title."

Mu Yuan Zhenjun originally came from a small sect in the Chaoyuan stage. Later, this small sect was attacked by demonic beasts and he became a rogue cultivator. At that time, he was only a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Five hundred years later, he became a True Lord, a true legend in the world of cultivation.

After the establishment of the Shenmu Sect, it traded various high-level spiritual herbs and fruits with the outside world in exchange for knowledge, and quickly completed the accumulation of its heritage.

Later, when Shenmu Zhenjun embarked on the path of starry sky, the glory of Shenmu Sect was no longer so dazzling.

Therefore, I believe that Shenmu Zhenjun possessed a secret treasure that could accelerate the growth of spiritual plants, and he created a replica of this treasure before he left.

My reasoning is based on the fact that after Shenmu Zhenjun left, the Shenmu Sect's trade in spiritual plants shrank significantly, and they rarely produced spiritual herbs older than six thousand years, which is highly unusual.

The reason why Lianshan Zhenjun knew this so clearly was because before the rise of Shenmu Sect, Wuxing Sect was the top sect in the entire continent for trading spiritual herbs.

After becoming the sect leader, he carefully reviewed the files from that year.

Ji An stroked his chin, pondering how Shenmu Zhenjun's secret treasure compared to the stone tortoise.

A flash of lightning was followed by a deafening roar, interrupting his thoughts.

Ji An gazed down the mountain and saw the five-colored deer, its body shimmering with light, standing proudly amidst the lightning tribulation.

The golden sword, as nimble as a flying bird, entered the Wuji Hall on Chaoyang Peak. Master Yuxiao raised his hand, took the golden sword, and extended his divine sense to read the information within.

"A lightning tribulation has occurred at Crimson Flame Peak."

The message was short, but it surprised him greatly. He thought to himself:
Who could be undergoing tribulation?

He began to ponder who might meet the criteria for a breakthrough, subconsciously ignoring the fact that it was the Beast Tamer who was breaking through.

After a moment, he shook his head. If the sect gained another Golden Core cultivator, his junior brother would inform him immediately.

As night fell, the purple lightning slowly dissipated, and two bright moons shone upon the land.

The stone tortoise returned to Ji An's side and quickly disappeared into his body.

Lian Shan Zhenjun laughed heartily, "A five-colored deer at the Golden Core level has been born, let's go take a look quickly."

"Ok."

Ji An agreed, and after the lightning completely dissipated, he rode the clouds and carried the other person down the mountain.

The five-colored deer lay quietly on the ground, its size increased by half, and the light on its antlers shone even brighter.

Lianshan Zhenjun extended his divine sense and swept it over the spirit beast, saying:

"Its condition is even better, with almost no injuries. It should be processing a large amount of bloodline inheritance information."

Since everything went smoothly, let's go back.

Ji An sensed the beast's condition through the blood pact, nodded in satisfaction, and rode the cloud to take the True Lord back to the mountainside cave, entering the gourd world.

Lian Shan Zhenjun soon fell into a deep sleep under the Gathering Yuan Tree. His nascent soul was in decline, comparable to the decline of blood and qi in a low-level cultivator. Forced sleep would allow him to survive for a longer period of time.

Ji An lit a sandalwood incense burner to nourish his soul beside him, sighed softly, and walked away quietly.

The incense has a very weak effect on the other party, but it still has some benefit.

Walking over to the Soul-Nourishing Wood, Ji An lay half-reclined on the rattan chair, his mind sinking into his dantian to connect with the stone tortoise.

[Master: Ji An]

[Tao Yun: Gold 126.3, Water 126.7, Wood 126.5, Fire 126.2, Earth 129.4]

This is even better than what he achieved back then.

With a slight smile, Ji An happily took out a jade bottle from the Void Stone and swallowed a common-quality Divine Fire Spirit-Nourishing Pill.

This kind of pill is usually taken by cultivators at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage. If he takes it now, the improvement effect will definitely be very obvious.

He left the rattan chair and sat cross-legged on the futon, beginning to circulate the Five Elements Sutra.

With his cultivation level raised to the seventh level of the Golden Core stage, the strength of his divine soul increased by 10% on the original basis, which was slightly better than the effect of the stone turtle refining demonic thoughts.

In this way, the cultivation time can be sustained for a longer period of time. It doesn't mean that if the strength of the soul increases by 10%, the cultivation time will only increase by 10%, but rather by 30% to 40%.

A stronger spirit also means greater "wear and tear resistance".

This was the first time he had taken a pill to aid his cultivation after advancing to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and he was eager to see how it would work.

　There will be another update tomorrow morning, so don't wait any longer.

　　I've recently fallen into a vicious cycle: staying up late every night, which ultimately leads to a lack of efficiency and drowsiness.

　　I'll go to bed early tonight, adjust my sleep schedule, and try to get back to my previous routine as soon as possible so I can finish the update before midnight.
