Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 715 Mountain Closure
Lianshan Zhenjun once said that the laws in the small world are somewhat lacking compared to the outside world, so the lightning tribulation would be less severe if one were to undergo tribulation here.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. A smaller tribulation means that the stone tortoise can absorb less Dao essence, and the potential of a cultivator who successfully transcends the tribulation is much lower than that of a cultivator who transcends the tribulation in the outside world.

At this point, undergoing the Golden Core Tribulation essentially means losing the chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage; instead, the bottlenecks to improving cultivation increase.

Demonic energy surged, and calamity clouds shrouded the black land. Ji An rode the clouds into the sky and immediately flew away.

The density of spiritual plants in the small world is much higher than that in the outside world, and the lightning tribulation also has a significant impact on the spiritual plants, causing considerable damage to the spiritual trees around the pond.

The spirit fish's tribulation was a special case; otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted the lightning tribulation to descend here. In the future, he would reduce the planting around the pond and lava pool.

He arrived at the edge of the crimson land, where his disciple and A-Yun were staying. He said with a smile:
"You've hidden far enough away, that's good, this is the safest place."

This is the furthest point from the pond as the crow flies. The golden retriever is right next to it, wagging its fluffy tail.

Lin Lan smiled and said:
"For me, the power of the lightning tribulation was too great, and I felt completely unsafe staying there."

Her complexion was rosy. Although she couldn't gain more spiritual energy through cultivation, eating could make up for the lack.

In addition, she discovered that staying near the Juyuan Tree could suppress pollution, which would give her more time.

A tribulation of lightning erupted in the small world, preventing Ji An from cultivating peacefully. So he started chatting with his disciples.

"There are only spirit fish here. Although there are more than ten kinds, you'll get tired of eating them after a while. Why haven't you given me any suggestions on what you like?"

Ji An asked, explaining that he was too lazy to bother with such trivial matters, which was why he hadn't introduced any new demonic beasts.

Lin Lan originally felt it was inappropriate to offer opinions, but since her master had asked her such a question, she felt she had to say something.

What are your requirements?

"Tender and delicious meat is a basic requirement."

The small enclosure isn't big enough to raise very large animals; it would be best to find some that can be kept in captivity.

It's not true that the higher the level of a monster, the more delicious it tastes; some monsters have such a strong bloody smell that it's extremely difficult to remove.

"Then let's raise golden-feathered chickens and musk oxen. We have golden retrievers here, so we don't have to worry about them becoming overpopulated. The sect's Beast Taming Hall has them."

"By purchasing just a dozen or so pairs of young animals from each farm, the scale of the breeding operation can be expanded."

Lin Lan suggested that these two types of demonic beasts can generally only grow to the Foundation Establishment level, and their taste is excellent.

Another very important point is that both are wood-elemental demon beasts, and the small world has a large number of Emerald Mulberry trees, so they can be raised.

"Chicken and beef are available, that's good. I'll have someone send some over in a few days."

Ji An smiled gently and said that chicken liver, chicken heart, and chicken intestines can all be made into delicious food, and eggs are also a good product.

In addition, chicken can be stewed or made into roast chicken, and chicken wings and drumsticks can be grilled.

Beef, beef tendon, and beef bones can all be made into many delicious dishes, all of which are hearty meals.

As the small world grows larger, the variety of monsters raised will increase, provided that the spiritual herbs are not damaged.

The two chatted happily, using food as a starting point, and time seemed to pass more quickly.

Two days later, after the tribulation ended, Ji An focused his mind on his dantian and connected with the stone tortoise to check his gains.

[Master: Ji An]

[Tao Yun: Gold 1454.6, Water 1502.5, Wood 1491.2, Fire 1602.3, Earth 876.4]

It increased by about 150 points of Daoist Rhyme, but the contribution from the spirit fish was only half of what Gu Hongming had contributed.

Yuanhe Mountain.

Zhu Changhe stepped out of the teleportation array, followed closely by Yun Nianrong.

The Xuan Yin Sect has already surveyed the new stronghold in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and now needs to send a group of core members and lower-ranking disciples to be stationed there.

At this moment, Zhu Changhe frowned slightly, stopped walking, and looked up at the southern sky.

This unusual behavior piqued Yun Nianrong's curiosity, and she asked:
"Master, what's wrong?"

"When I was exploring outside the Demon Cave, I encountered a cultivator wearing a Golden Spirit Sect robe, whose cultivation level had reached the fifth level of the Chaoyuan stage."

I thought it was a good material, so I used a demon seed to contaminate it and added a demon soul to it.

Although we are tens of thousands of miles away from the Golden Spirit Sect, I should be able to sense the demonic soul faintly.

This current connection is so faint that even if the other party is isolated within a well-sealed magic array, it shouldn't have this effect.

Zhu Changhe couldn't understand what was happening; the magic array's restrictions couldn't block his spiritual senses.

"Could it be that the target was discovered by the enemy and then eliminated?"

"That's possible, but forget it, I'm not going to think about it anymore. It's just a minor move anyway."

Zhu Changhe gave a few instructions and then entered the Demon Cave.

He easily found a sealed-off cave, carefully examined it for a moment, and then nodded in satisfaction.

A gaunt body with a face as pale as paper lay here, still breathing evenly.

This is the corpse of Yuanhe Mountain Beichen Zhenjun, who has now cultivated it into a bronze zombie.

The levels of corpse refining, from low to high, are: white zombie, green zombie, black zombie, bronze zombie, moon zombie, and gold zombie.

A bronze zombie is a corpse at the Golden Core level. This kind of corpse refining is slightly different from the corpse refining in the cultivation world. It is a method of refining by using demonic energy as yin energy.

The movements of a corpse refiner are slightly stiffer, but its physical defense is superior.

The bronze zombie cannot fly or burrow underground, which is its biggest flaw, but it has already developed some intelligence.

This bronze zombie has been tempered by the magic array for over a hundred years, and now its demonic energy concentration has increased dramatically. In a few decades, it will reach its peak. At that time, as long as the bronze zombie can master the ability to devour moonlight, it can transform into a moon corpse.

Zhu Changhe's smile softened slightly. Fortunately, Beichen Zhenjun had suffered a serious internal injury; otherwise, he would have had a hard time successfully launching a sneak attack back then.

If this corpse is cultivated into a Moon Corpse, he will be qualified to be a supreme being in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"From now on, I'll still call you Beichen, haha."

He laughed wildly a few times, then flew to his usual place of cultivation and began to absorb demonic energy to heal his injuries.

Two months later, a flying boat hovered above Chaoyang Peak in the sunset.

After all the cultivators had emerged from the cabin, Lin Jiuxiao ordered the ship to land.

Yu Xiao Zhenjun was already waiting outside the hall. The afterglow of the setting sun painted his face with an orange-red hue, like fresh blood.

The flying boat landed steadily in the square. Lin Jiuxiao and Han Yan both cupped their hands and said:

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

"No need for formalities, how is the situation?"

"Although it took a while, all the procurement tasks were successfully completed."

"Very good, you can close the mountain now that you're back."

Before that, everyone needs to be tested.

Lin Jiuxiao nodded. "Understood."

He took out the Purification Talisman and distributed it to all his fellow disciples. He then activated it first, and a gentle white light enveloped his body.

This had been agreed upon beforehand, and no one objected; everyone complied.

Seeing that no one seemed amiss, Master Yuxiao smiled kindly and said:
"You've all worked hard. After delivering the supplies, you can have a good rest for a few days."

"Nine Heavens, go and sound the alarm bell. I'll go to the central array to activate the mountain-protecting array."

A moment later, the twenty-one bell tolls echoed across an area of ​​several thousand miles, resounding in the ears of every disciple of the Golden Spirit Sect.

Different colored magical arrays illuminated the outer perimeter of the sect, forming a light curtain that connected heaven and earth.

After a while, the light screen disappeared, and the mountain closure was completed.

Ten days later, at the Demon Cave of Yuanhe Mountain.

Yun Nianrong hurriedly flew in and waited at the place where Zhu Changhe was in seclusion.

After waiting for about two hours, Zhu Changhe opened his eyes and asked:
"What happened?"

"Reporting to the Sect Master, I have received news that the Golden Spirit Sect and Falling Maple Valley have activated their mountain-protecting formations and sealed off the mountain. The two forces sealed off the mountain only five days apart."

After receiving the news, I personally went to the site to investigate and confirmed that the news was true.

The fact that the mountain is closed at this time, I think, is very likely because what we were doing in secret has been discovered.

"It's alright, let the mountain be closed if it is."

The rampant demonic energy is a good thing for us. Once the calamity of the true demons has passed and they reopen their mountain gates, they will find that the entire Western Continent is our domain.

"During this time, you should focus on your cultivation and prepare to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Zhu Changhe felt that this might not be a bad thing. Without a force to check and balance it, the power of the Xuan Yin Holy Sect would expand even faster.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

Yun Nianrong said with delight, she originally thought that even if the sect leader wanted to cultivate her, he would wait until her cultivation broke through to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Once your cultivation breaks through, you will be able to contribute even more to the Holy Church."

After the Golden Spirit Sect closed its gates, it became even busier internally, with each hall gradually transforming the inheritance it received from the Five Elements Sect into strength.

The disciples' enthusiasm for improving their cultivation soared, and everyone's situation improved after the spiritual veins were upgraded.

Now that no new disciples are being recruited, the pills needed to improve the cultivation of Qi Refining stage disciples will no longer need to be planted. In the future, the scale of spiritual herbs for Qi Refining stage and Qi Refining stage disciples can also be greatly reduced.

Even when these spiritual fields are left uncultivated, spiritual farmers will still use spells to increase the spirituality of the land, which is beneficial for improving the grade of the spiritual fields.

Ji An arrived at the Puppet Hall, where a white-haired cultivator came out to greet him.

"Disciple Yang Qingfeng, the esteemed Master of the Puppet Hall, pays respects to the Ancestor."

His cultivation level was only at the fourth level of the Chaoyuan stage, and he was slowly falling behind the sect's trends.

If things continue to develop as they are, then in the future, the position of Palace Master will at least require a Golden Core cultivator to be qualified.

"No need for formalities. I have learned that we can now create puppets with great intelligence, so I have come to commission a few."

"Please come inside and have a seat, sir. Let's talk this over."

After entering the main hall and taking his seat, a young Taoist boy served him spiritual tea. Yang Qingfeng asked:
"Ancestor, what is the main purpose of your puppet crafting, and what are the specific requirements?"

"Use them as servants to gather spirit fruits, cook food, and raise spirit fish and pheasants, etc."

Yang Qingfeng grinned. Everyone else made puppets for combat, but the ancestor's realm had already reached this level.

However, he quickly realized that the ancestor was a Golden Core cultivator with a lifespan of a thousand years. If he hired disciples, the lifespan would be at least a hundred years or two hundred years, and he would have to watch the disciples die, which would only increase his sadness.

If you order a custom-made puppet, this problem will be greatly reduced, and if the puppet is well maintained, it can work for four or five hundred years without any problem.

If the materials are good enough, it can last for a thousand years.
