Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 751 Fourth-Order Low-Grade Azure Moon Purple Spirit Fir

Jin Yang is the manifestation of Bing Fire, while Chi Niao is a symbol of the balance between Bing and Ding Fire, harmonizing the Yin and Yang forces within the Fire element.

The light emitted the aura of Ding fire, during which yin and yang shifted.

All spells at the Nascent Soul level involve the transformation of Yin and Yang.

Cultivation at the Nascent Soul level focuses on cultivating one's nature, that is, cultivating the Nascent Soul, but it also requires cultivating one's destiny; the fire of one's destiny must be vigorous.

Through so many years of cultivation, Ji An deeply understands that no matter what one focuses on at any stage of cultivation, one must cultivate both body and mind.

Only when Yin and Yang are in balance can they complement each other; if either one is lagging behind, it will affect the efficiency of cultivation.

If the imbalance between Yin and Yang intensifies, it will lead to Yin deficiency or Yang deficiency, which will seriously hinder spiritual practice.

Now, Ji An is experiencing the advantages of practicing the Five Elements Revolving Sutra and following the path of 'Five Elements Revolving, All Laws Returning to One'.

The five elements cycle and wax and wane, and the balance between Yin and Yang remains stable.

The strength of the Primordial Flame promotes the growth of the Nascent Soul, and the strength of the Nascent Soul can in turn nourish the Primordial Flame, forming a perfect closed loop.

For most people, each step becomes increasingly difficult as their cultivation level increases, but Ji An has not yet noticed any difficulty.

His cultivation progress had indeed slowed down, but he could clearly feel the improvement he gained from each day of cultivation.

The auspicious five-colored clouds returned to the Gathering Yuan Tree, and Ji An landed on the ground, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.

Not long after, the stone tortoise flew back, merging into the skin from between the eyebrows and entering the upper dantian, which lies between illusion and reality.

Like an inspecting leader, the stone tortoise entered the Guanghan Palace, saw the moon dew in the jade basin in the center of the hall, and stuck out its tongue to lick it.

The nascent soul suddenly opened its eyes wide, and Ji An also withdrew from his cultivation state. The stone tortoise had never done anything like this before.

The stone tortoise shook its head, followed the immortal meridian through the middle dantian to the lower dantian, and finally lay prostrate beside the primordial fire, exhaling a breath of pure spiritual energy.

The golden flames flickered, growing even stronger.

Ji An scratched his head, unable to understand why the stone turtle was doing this.

After a moment, he stopped dwelling on the question and focused his mind on the stone tortoise.

This is a good habit of his; sometimes he knows when to let go.

[Daoyun: wood 2843.7 → wood 1938.7]

It took nearly 900 points of Wood Daoist Essence to upgrade the Azure Moon Purple Spirit Fir from a third-grade low-level to a fourth-grade low-level, which consumed far less Daoist Essence than upgrading the Gathering Yuan Tree.

He licked his lower lip, hoping that the spirit tree would bear fruit soon so that he could plant a batch of Azure Moon Purple Spirit Cedar.

In the future, the white jade bees will be able to collect another type of nectar; I wonder what it will taste like.

The following day at dawn, Han Yan, Lin Lan, and Han Shan appeared together at the entrance of the cave.

Ji An came out of the cave to greet them and led them into the quiet room.

He held the gourd-shaped stone pendant in his hand and said gently:
"Let me show you around my world. Probe your divine sense into it and connect it to the silver spot of light in the very center, and then you will be able to arrive."

He had something to discuss with a few people, so he invited everyone to come.

Han Yan and Han Shan's eyes seemed to turn into light bulbs, shining brightly.

Lin Lan tilted her head slightly, a sense of superiority rising in her heart. After all, she had lived there for many years.

"Then I'll go first," Han Yan said with a smile, reaching out to stroke the gourd-shaped stone.

It felt warm to the touch, and in my mind it felt as if I were walking through a moonlit forest, peaceful and serene.

The moment her consciousness connected with the silver spot, the figure vanished.

Ji An smiled, "Next."

Han Shan hummed in agreement and extended his hand, saying:
"Senior sister, you go first."

Lin Lan did not refuse, and after extending her divine sense, she also disappeared.

"next."

Han Shan took a deep breath and extended his divine sense, his heart filled with anticipation.

I had wondered countless times what my master's little world would be like, and now my dream is finally about to come true.

Ji An was the last to enter the gourd world. The gourd stone in the room floated up, radiating light.

He asked with a smile, "Did you have any special feelings when you entered the small world?"

"It feels like the dizziness of riding a teleportation array, but you can't see the spatial passage."

Lin Lan replied that it was true she had stayed in the small world for many years, but rarely went out.

Han Yan didn't speak; her mouth was wide open in surprise, big enough to fit an egg.

Han Shan was equally shocked.

The magical treasures such as the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner and the Lidi Flame Banner flew out, their roars and hisses echoing, waking the two from their daze.

Han Yan sighed, her tone like that of a devout pilgrim arriving at their destination:

"The leaves are divided into five parts, each a different color: blue, red, yellow, white, and black. This spiritual tree is actually the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root Gathering Tree!"

This is a highly revered spiritual wood in the Five Elements Sect's tradition, perfectly suited to the cultivation methods of Five Elements Sect practitioners.

At that moment, she suddenly realized what was happening and said with some disappointment:
"The Five Qi Pill is made from the Gathering Yuan Tree, right? No wonder you were willing to tell me the refining method and materials, True Lord."

What good is the pill formula if you don't have the leaves of the Gathering Yuan Tree?

The Gathering Yuan Tree has extremely high strategic value for any sect. With this spiritual tree, an ecosystem that is extremely beneficial to spiritual plants can be created.

Ji An stepped forward and stroked the bark of the spirit tree, his heart filled with emotion, and said:
"Yes, looking back now, my cultivation journey has been smooth sailing."

Years ago, I stumbled upon a peculiar earth-elemental spiritual object in the Immortal City of Mingfeng Mountain, which contained a seed of the Gathering Yuan Tree.

I almost missed out on it, but later a fellow Daoist bought it and gave it to me.

Later, I obtained a World Stone, and coincidentally, the seed of the Gathering Yuan Tree appeared. Without hesitation, I planted the Heavenly Spirit Root in the very center of the small world.

Now, several hundred years later, the small world has become increasingly prosperous.

Han Shan walked to the spirit tree, feeling the surging life force within it, and asked:
"Master, the vitality of this spirit tree is extremely vigorous, far exceeding my level. May I ask what grade it has reached?"

He is currently only at the second level of the Golden Core stage and is working hard to break through to the third level. He feels that the vitality of the spirit tree is far stronger than his own.

"Tier 4, Low Grade".

"hiss"

"hiss"

Han Shan and Han Yan both gasped in surprise. This was a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Spirit Wood Realm!

Ji An chuckled twice. "Let me show you around. I invited you here to ask what the sect's most scarce spiritual herbs are. I can grow some here, as the maturation time of spiritual herbs is much shorter than outside."

Also, Han Yan, could you help me see what other spiritual herbs I should combine with these many top-grade third-tier spiritual fruits if I want to refine them into pills?

After the spiritual veins of the Calabash World were upgraded to the third-tier top-grade, an extra hundred acres of spiritual fields were created, and there are still dozens of acres left empty. It's time to make use of them.

"These are Earth Spirit Fruit Trees and Mysterious Leaf Sword Bamboo. The Earth Spirit Fruit Trees are currently at the third-tier high-grade level, and their potential is probably at its limit."

These fruit trees are useless to me now, so I'll transplant them elsewhere later to see if they can survive. The Mysterious Leaf Sword Bamboo, on the other hand, has the potential to reach the fourth tier. If it can't reach the fourth tier, I'll transplant it there gradually as well.

The third-grade superior-quality Earth Spirit Fruit can only be used to feed the Golden Core stage Earth Elemental Beast Tamer. When he has a better option, it is time to transplant it.

"A faint fragrance wafts from here, from golden sandalwood and soul-nourishing wood. The two thickest trees have reached the fourth rank."

"This is a high-grade third-tier Yin Soul Wood, and the Yin Soul Fruit it produces is one of the main ingredients for the Nascent Soul Pill."

The Yin Soul Wood was planted relatively late, so its grade is not high.

"The spiritual plants here are the Star Tree and the Azure Mist Pine."

The group rode on clouds, and Han Yan took out a blank jade slip and recorded the names of the spiritual plants she saw inside.

At this moment, what numbed her heart was the kind of numbness born of shock.

The vast expanse of top-grade third-tier spirit trees, interspersed with some fourth-tier spirit trees, were worth more than all the spirit trees in the sect combined.

But this is just a small world of 500 acres, and there are still some empty spaces that have not been utilized.

In the ponds of the black soil, a spirit fish at the Golden Core level—the Treasure Dragon Fish—was being raised.

She knew very well that this was a specialty of the Nulan River in the far north, and that it could not survive in other waters.

At this moment, Ji An pointed to the crimson earth in front of him and said:

"We are about to reach the last stop of the tour, where you will see the second Heaven and Earth Spirit Root."

"Wow!"

Lin Lan exclaimed in surprise. When she stayed here, she had no idea that there was a second spiritual root of heaven and earth.

Everyone hovered on the clouds above the lava lake. Ji An looked at his eldest disciple with affection and said gently:
"This is the Fusang, a spiritual plant of the Fire element, currently at the middle grade of the third rank."

"Xiao Lan, I must thank you. This is the stone you obtained during your travels; the hibiscus seed came from there."

He sent a message:

"As long as your cultivation continues to improve, I will provide you with a Nascent Soul Pill. This promise will be valid forever."

If you are short of elixirs, don't hesitate to come to your master.

Even if a disciple fails to reach that stage, but still has a Daoist partner and a child, they can still obtain the Nascent Soul Pill.

But we'll talk about that later; what we need to do now is to boost the morale of our disciples.

There are also several batches of Purple Cloud Jade Mushroom Pills and Divine Fire Spirit-Nourishing Pills growing in the small world, so providing dozens of pills for the disciples shouldn't be a problem.

Lin Lan nodded emphatically and said:

"Congratulations, Master. The spiritual roots of heaven and earth can play a greater role in your hands."

A feeling of regret welled up in her heart, but it was fleeting.

Having only been away from the small world for a few years, the seed was able to be cultivated to the middle grade of the third rank, something she could never have done.

As a spirit farmer, she understood very well the difficulty of cultivating a spiritual root of heaven and earth to this grade, which was probably comparable to cultivating a Soul Nourishing Wood to the fourth grade.

The power of the magic and divine intent remaining in the spirit field is so strong that any spirit farmer must bow down in worship.

Han Yan stared blankly at the hibiscus tree that had grown there, and then let out a long sigh.

She had worked with Ge Ying for a period of time, and Ge Ying met with her once before her death, saying something to her:

'My disciple is very fortunate and practices diligently; his future achievements will far surpass mine.'

He's exceeded my expectations time and time again; I really want to see how far he can go.

This can no longer be explained by mere good fortune; it's an incredible stroke of luck!

Ji An continued, "There is also a Crimson Gold Carp at the second level of the Golden Core stage in the lava lake. Now that the Fusang Tree has taken root here, the Crimson Gold Carp clan will give birth to more individuals at the Golden Core stage."

By then, the Weapon Forging Hall had obtained a large quantity of Tier 3 materials.

Once more Crimson Gold Carp break through to the Golden Core level, this lava lake probably won't be able to support them at all, and he'll have to taste what it's like to have Crimson Gold Carp at the Golden Core level.

"The area around the lava lake is planted with fire coral, a spiritual plant that can reach a grade of Rank 3 High and serves as food for fire crystal ants."

A colony of amethyst bees thrived here, and the queen bee broke through to the Golden Core level.

"Come with me. There's a lightning-struck peach tree in the surrounding spirit fields. Let's go take a look."

Ji An led everyone back to the center of the small world, landing beside the Gathering Yuan Tree, and said:

"The quality of spiritual fruits such as the Earth Spirit Fruit Tree, Azure Spirit Tree, Spirit Peach, Fire Immortal Apricot, and Purple Cloud Fruit is constantly improving, and the original pill formulas are no longer applicable. New pill formulas need to be researched."

In addition, there are no pills made from the Azure Moon Purple Spirit Fir in the Five Elements Sect's heritage. I want to use it as a raw material to refine a pill similar to the 'Fire Essence Pill'.

Han Yan, I would like to ask you to carefully analyze the properties and pharmacology of these medicines. You can do this in your spare time from cultivation.

Of course, I will pay you. The annual research funding is 10,000, and you will need additional support to speak.

"Once the spirit seed of the Azure Moon Purple Spirit Fir in the spirit field matures, I will plant it. I will let you know after the second batch of spirit seeds is harvested, how does that sound?"

With his current expertise in alchemy, he is capable of researching elixir formulas, but he lacks the time.

The tribulation of the true demon has arrived, and he needs to improve his cultivation level as much as possible in order to protect everything he has now.

Han Yan nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice:
"As you wish. Studying elixirs is my interest."

However, the research on elixirs involves a degree of chance, so please don't blame me if progress is slow, True Lord.

The derivation of the new prescription after analyzing the properties and pharmacology of the medicine is just the beginning; the next step is continuous experimentation.

If everything goes smoothly, there will be results in a few years; if not, fate will be left to the Taoist ancestor.

Ji An smiled and waved his hand, "I'm also an alchemist, and I know how difficult this is. How could I not respect you?"

Han Yan smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved. I'll get to work as soon as I get back."

Ji An nodded and looked at his two disciples.

Lin Lan coughed and said:
"Master, I have a question."

In this small world, there are many spiritual plants that have special requirements for their growing environment, and they seem to be unaffected here.

I want to conduct an experiment, taking some soil from here and testing it elsewhere to see if the soil is the cause.

Han Shan said excitedly:

“I also think it is necessary to do this experiment. If we can grow those spiritual plants that require special environments in the outside world, the sect’s supply of high-grade pills can be increased by at least several times.”

The high-level pills he mentioned refer to pills for the Golden Core stage, mid-stage, and late-stage.

These kinds of pills are rare, partly because they have higher requirements for the age of the medicine, and partly because some of the main ingredients are produced in very small quantities.

Han Yan echoed:
"This way we can maximize our profits. Even if the experiment fails, we can still grow those spiritual plants that have strict requirements for their growing environment in the small world."

Of course, this is just my suggestion; the final decision rests with you, My Lord.

The private world is a personal property, and no one has the right to interfere with what the other person does as they wish.

Moreover, as the strongest member of the sect, no one dared to say anything like "we should prioritize the overall situation."
