Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 801 Jade Dew Condensation Pill

Huayin Zhenjun opened the storage bag and began to count the resources inside. She did not weigh them, but simply picked them up and weighed them in her hands before putting them back.

She has a little-known ability: she can accurately weigh things with just her hands. While not perfect, the error is extremely small.

Ji An gestured for Li Haoran to sit down and transmitted his voice:
"What we're exchanging these resources for is the Heavenly River Sword, which can help you break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage."

Li Haoran's eyes suddenly widened, filled with light, his mouth slightly parted in a charming smile, and his right hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Seeing his Daoist partner nod, Zhenyue Zhenjun used his object manipulation technique to send the jade slip to Li Haoran, and smiled:

"The jade slip has no key, so you can view its contents directly."

"True Lord, thank you for your trouble."

Li Haoran caught the jade slip with both hands, reverently placed it on his forehead, and began to examine it with his divine sense.

He had read through the Heavenly River Sword Technique at the Golden Core level countless times and could easily distinguish the authenticity of the technique. After carefully examining how to break through to the Nascent Soul level, he suddenly felt enlightened.

He skimmed through the content after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Although there were many things he couldn't understand, the underlying principles seemed reasonable.

The rooms were quiet, and no one disturbed us.

After about half an hour, Li Haoran put away the jade slip and nodded heavily.
"The technique is fine."

Ji An smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

He waved to Li Haoran, "Seeing how restless you are, you're not at ease staying here. Go back."

He understood perfectly why the other party had lost the composure expected of a high-level sword cultivator. It must be because he had endured too much hardship due to the problem with his cultivation technique. Now that he had achieved his goal, it was normal for his emotions to fluctuate.

Li Haoran scratched his head, obediently stood up, and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting:

"Gentlemen, I shall take my leave."

Zhenyue Zhenjun smiled kindly and waved his hand, saying:

"Goodbye."

Li Hao then retreated and left. After stepping out of the pavilion, he saw a flash of light and the sound of a sword whistling as it disappeared into the distance.

Huayin Zhenjun's eyes held a kind smile; she knew very well the joy of finally getting what she wanted after a long period of torment.

The sword's hum grew fainter and fainter, until it was almost inaudible. She withdrew her gaze and asked curiously:

"Fellow Daoist, how is your beast taming doing now? Has it fully transformed into human form?"

"It is transforming. The five-colored deer wove a cocoon of light, which eventually turned into a giant egg, completely blocking my view."

Zhenyue Zhenjun suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone:

"When transforming into human form, there may be some scenes that you don't want others to see. Transforming into a giant egg can avoid the awkwardness when you meet them in the future."

Ji An understood the other person's implied meaning and nodded in agreement, "That's absolutely right."

They started with great enthusiasm, sharing their cultivation insights. By the time they came to their senses, the sun was already setting.

Ji An stood up. "In a couple of days, I will invite you both to my temple as guests."

Showcasing the prosperity of Crimson Flame Peak will demonstrate the sect's potential to the other side, who will then inform the other True Monarchs of the Taixu Sect of everything here, potentially leading to deeper exchanges between the two sects in the future.

"We are looking forward to it."

Ji An stepped out of the pavilion, his body transforming into a rainbow of five colors, stretching to the horizon like a rainbow.

Zhenyue Zhenjun, following the small black dot in the distance, said:

"The flying escape technique released by Fellow Daoist Xuanqing should be the famous Golden Light Across the Earth."

The two most famous spells of the Five Elements Sect are Chaotic Five Elements Thunder and Golden Light Across the Earth, one is unparalleled in attack and the other is astonishing in speed.

However, both of these spells are easy to learn but difficult to master, and few cultivators are able to elevate them to a higher level.

Hua Yin Zhenjun nodded slightly, "Such speed makes me somewhat believe what they said about 'killing more than ten Nascent Soul level True Demons'."

Both the Chaotic Five Elements Thunder and the Golden Light of Vertical Earth require mastery of the power of the five elements. Despite the Five Elements Sect's extinction over a hundred thousand years ago, its former glory still circulates among cultivators.

Many factions have tried to find the inheritance of these two spells, but none have succeeded.

The two returned to the attic, and Huayin Zhenjun asked in confusion:

“Cousin, Fellow Daoist Xuanqing said that the Heavenly Fox he rescued was captured by the True Demon Army in Qingqiu. This means that after the True Demon Army withdrew from the Ten Thousand Mountains, it attacked the Golden Spirit Sect. Judging from the time, it was the period before the end of the True Demon Calamity.”

Logically, this doesn't make sense. If the true demon army started its attack on Qingqiu from here, there's no reason for them to leave a spies here.

The spiritual veins of the Golden Spirit Sect are of the fourth-order low-grade, but the mountain-protecting formation is only of the third-order high-grade. If the True Demon Army has more than ten Nascent Soul level True Demons, and launches an attack in conjunction with a large number of low-level True Demons, this mountain-protecting formation will not last long before it falls.

At that time, the true demons were unaware of Fellow Daoist Xuanqing's formidable reputation, and would certainly have launched an attack directly, rather than waiting until the war was over. In short, there were many doubts about this matter in her eyes.

Zhenyue Zhenjun shook his head, "Cousin, why are you thinking so much? The Tribulation of the True Demon is over, and the truth of the matter is not that important."

As for the matter of Qingqiu, that's a matter for the Western Continent. We've informed Fellow Daoist Xuanqing of the joint announcement issued by several major sects; he will consider how to proceed.

Ji An returned to his cave at Crimson Flame Peak and entered the small world.

He took out two bottles of the body fluid of the Spirit-Slaying Insect and dripped them onto two Void Stones at the same time, his heart filled with anticipation.

Both of these Void Stones came from that Nascent Soul Level 8 True Demon, and the contents inside should be the most valuable.

Drops of the Spirit-Slaying Insect's bodily fluids fell, making a 'sizzling' sound, which sounded like heavenly music to Ji An's ears.

About half an hour later, the Void Stone was corroded one by one. Ji An quickly emptied the contents of the stone and then began to take inventory, discovering many surprises.

Besides items from the True Demon Realm, there were also many items from the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The items included high-grade and mid-grade fourth-order ores, medicinal herbs with over two thousand years of medicinal life, and the corpse of a celestial fox at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

The celestial fox has a mottled coat of fur, but five tails. Its internal organs have been removed and it is frozen inside a block of solid ice.

There was also a headless corpse of a Nascent Soul stage True Demon, with a smooth, mirror-like wound on its neck, likely cut by a powerful magical artifact.

Ji An quickly made a decision: keep the Heavenly Fox's corpse, skin it, burn its flesh and blood for materials, and use the True Demon's corpse to make a deal with Hua Yin Zhenjun.

Ji An then took out two more Void Stones, which belonged to the Nascent Soul Level 6 True Demon he had dealt with several times. This True Demon was exceptionally powerful, and he should also reap some good rewards.

After the space of the Void Stone was corroded, he took out the corpse of a True Demon at the early Nascent Soul stage, as well as many ores and spiritual herbs from the True Demon Realm.

With the anticipation of opening a blind box, Ji An continued to corrode the Void Stones with the body fluid of the Spirit-Slaying Insect. Including the time spent counting the items, it took more than nine hours to corrode twenty Void Stones.

They obtained two Nascent Soul level demon beast corpses, a celestial fox and a tiger demon. After these transformed demons died, their bodies revealed their original forms.

The tiger demon's skull was split open, but the rest of its body was undamaged. Its fur was white with black stripes, but its tail was red, suggesting it was a mutated demon beast.

Tiger bones have high medicinal value, so Ji An decided to keep them. There was also a tiger penis, which could be sold for a high price to any cultivator who needed it.

The meat of the two demonic beasts was intended to be fed to the Beast Tamer. He could eat it himself, but the thought of their past human form made him feel somewhat resistant.

In addition, they also obtained the corpses of five Nascent Soul True Demons, but they were all at the early Nascent Soul stage. It is unknown why these True Demons brought the corpses of their companions with them; perhaps they wanted to take their kin back to their homeland.

He searched through the jade slips containing cultivation techniques and found more than a dozen. The techniques of the true demons were meaningless to him, so he destroyed them directly. The remaining few were demonic cultivation techniques.

One of the techniques teaches how to refine one's essence and blood, which can enhance one's qi and blood power. This technique is quite useful to him, allowing him to cultivate without relying on demonic energy.

With a large number of spiritual herbs in hand, Ji An spent a long time sorting them out and actually managed to gather enough for two batches of Jade Dew Condensation Pills. These are pills for the early Nascent Soul stage, and each batch can yield five pills.

The recipe for this elixir is recorded in the Five Sects' lineage. He has never taken this type of elixir before, but if he were to refine it and take it, the effect should be very good.

"It's still more satisfying to do business with no initial investment."

Ji An laughed heartily a few times, put away the medicinal herbs, and then sorted out and sealed away all the materials.

He began to prepare the tiger demon's corpse, releasing golden light magic to cut open the tiger's abdomen from the anus, emptying its internal organs, burning its intestines to ashes and burying them under the Gathering Yuan Tree, and then summoning two Golden Core level beasts to come over.

"You're in for a treat! The flesh of a great demon in human form will hopefully help your cultivation grow rapidly."

As Ji An spoke, he cut open the tiger's stomach to prepare to feed it, and saw an egg the size of a quail egg quietly sitting there.

The eggs are grayish-white, but have root-like pale gold markings.

He used his manipulation technique, curiously trying to remove the egg, only to find that it was stuck to the stomach wall as if it had taken root, forcing him to use force to tear it apart.

Ji An held the egg in his hand, extended his divine sense to observe it for a long time, and finally concluded that it was something formed of an unknown metal that just happened to look like an egg.

He activated the Golden Light Technique, wanting to dissect it to see what exactly it was—metal.

The silver moon blade flew out, and an astonishing scene unfolded: the spell vanished into thin air as it approached the metal egg, as if it had been swallowed up by something.

Ji An immediately became interested and released the Golden Light spell three times in a row. The spell disappeared when it got close to the metal egg.

At this moment, she was certain that the energy of the spell had been absorbed by the egg.

'Could something alive be growing inside?'

Ji An extended his divine sense again to observe, but still did not sense any life fluctuations.

He scratched his head, unable to figure out what was wrong, and continued casting spells.

He used a series of low-level spells, including Flame Spell, Cold Wind Spell, Minor Cloud Rain Spell, Thick Earth Spell, Withering and Flourishing Spell, and Sharp Metal Spell. He discovered that the metal egg only reacted to the Sharp Metal Spell, and could absorb the energy of metal-type spells.
