Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 814 Building a Teleportation Array
At midnight, Ji An sat cross-legged outside the magic array, taking advantage of the transition between yin and yang to absorb the moon dew.

As the cultivation technique was activated, strands of light fell from the sky, condensing into beams of moon-white spiritual light that entered his mouth.

A full moon shone on his forehead, his once black hair became as if plated with silver, and his entire body radiated a faint glow, making him look solemn and dignified.

In the Moon Palace, the Nascent Soul made a hand seal, condensing the light shining in from the ceiling of the main hall into moon dew, which fell into the jade basin directly below the ceiling.

The "ding-dong" sound was melodious, carrying an ethereal aftertaste.

Big Yellow and Golden Hair crouched on either side of Ji An, their expressions fierce, like the two fierce generals.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lords saw the strange phenomenon in the sky from afar and said to the Golden Spirit Eagle beside him:

"His Majesty is currently absorbing the moonlight; let us slow down so as not to disturb him."

He estimated the time and slowed down his flight speed accordingly.

When Ji An finished his evening study, he found the five-colored deer stopped just two miles away.

"Come here, what brings you here?"

"Hehe, I heard that Your Majesty obtained the Xuanhuang Merit Qi by purifying the polluted spiritual veins, and I am itching to try it myself."

The benefits of merit are clearly recorded in the bloodline's inherited memory, and the Five Sacred Mountains True Lords very much wish to obtain some as well.

Putting aside other things, refining the Xuanhuang Merit Qi into the Five Elemental Pearls can enhance one's strength in all aspects.

Are you sure you have a strong desire and are willing to take action?

Ji An expressed his doubts, believing that one could only rely on oneself to accumulate merit, and no one else could help in the slightest.

If he and the Five-Colored Deer were to cast a spell on this polluted land together, his magical intent would overshadow the other's. If any merit were to be bestowed, he would enjoy it all by himself, and the other would not receive a single benefit.

"Of course, this is the primordial energy of merit and virtue."

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lords pounded their chests with a thunderous sound, as if doing so could express their determination.

"Let's talk again tomorrow, and I'll show you what you need to do to gain merit."

By the way, what did the sect leader say?

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord handed over the jade slip and said:
"Of course, Old Man Lin will fully support you."

Ji An frowned slightly, took the jade slip, and solemnly warned:

“Master Chongxiao is the sect leader. It’s one thing to say such things to me, but you must not be so rude in front of others. It would damage the sect leader’s dignity.”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, in the presence of outsiders, I will certainly address him as the sect leader."

Ji An nodded calmly, extended his divine sense to read the information, and gave the instructions:

"Big Yellow, I'll remove the Xuanwu Armor Formation. You can expand your cave dwelling so that there's room for a few of us."

The spiritual veins here are of too low a grade to be used for cultivation, so they must enter the small world. However, the cave he opened is too narrow to accommodate them all at the same time.

The sect's support won't arrive for another month, so it's necessary to expand the cave dwelling to make it more spacious.

"As ordered."

Big Yellow lowered its head, turned around, and wagged its short tail as it went to widen the cave.

Less than fifteen minutes later, Big Yellow ran out to report:
"Master, mission accomplished."

Like the Golden-feathered Eagle, the Rock Armored Bear consumed a Golden Core from an Earth-type demon beast. However, this Golden Core came from a demon beast at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. It currently only has a second-level Golden Core, but it has already touched the threshold of the third-level Golden Core.

"Very good, you can stay outside with Golden Retriever to keep watch. Tomorrow, Little Golden and Bluebell will come out."

Although Ji An didn't think he would encounter any danger, he couldn't let his guard down.

"As ordered."

"Squeak."

Ji An, along with the Five-Colored Deer and the Golden-Feathered Eagle, entered the Calabash World. The giant eagle apologized and left first, feeling quite pressured facing the True Lord and a transformed demon.

"Ayun, brew some tea."

Now, as soon as you tell her to brew tea, Ayun knows to brew Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea made from lightning-struck wood.

A moment later, the puppet brought out the teapot and poured tea, white steam rising and a delicate fragrance wafting through the air.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord picked up his teacup, gazing at the silvery shimmering in the clear amber-colored tea, and nodded with satisfaction.

He pretended to blow on the tea, then tilted his head back and gulped it down, finishing the tea with a "gulp".

"Your Majesty, the spiritual plants in this small world are worth enough to exchange for two top-grade fourth-tier spiritual veins!"

He exclaimed with emotion that this place was truly a masterpiece of nature, and that his bloodline memories recorded the existence of such a treasure in the world.

The sect allocated him a cave dwelling, and he was also able to enjoy a hundred acres of spiritual fields from which he did not have to hand over the profits, but he would have to wait many years to have a good harvest.

He planted hundreds of spirit fruit trees, encompassing three types of spirit plants: wood, fire, and earth.

"Heh," Ji An glanced at the other person with disdain, "You're underestimating the value of spiritual roots of heaven and earth, aren't you?"

This place possesses two spiritual roots of heaven and earth, among which the Gathering Yuan Tree is extremely important to him. There is no way he could give up this small world; the grade of the spiritual vein is a minor matter.

With the Gathering Yuan Tree, the grade of the spiritual vein can be rapidly improved.

"It's just an analogy," Wuyue Zhenjun chuckled twice.

After chatting for a while, Ji An waved his hand and said:
"I need to continue my cultivation, so I can't stay with you any longer."

Before absorbing the moon dew, he had been releasing the Thick Virtue Spirit Evolution Spell. Now, he has less than 20% of the magic power left in his body and needs to replenish it quickly so as not to delay tomorrow's business.

If he could only absorb more spiritual energy by staying on the Crimson Flame Peak Stone Turtle, he wouldn't need to call on the sect to build a teleportation array.

"I'll go wander around and see if there are any spiritual fruits that are about to ripen."

The five-colored deer flew away on a cloud, enjoying itself immensely these past few days. He rarely returned, and even when he did, he would only hastily cast spells on the white spirit field, paying no attention to the condition of the other spirit fields.

Ji An sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate the Five Elements Revolving Scripture. The spiritual energy in the small world quickly gathered and formed a vortex that connected heaven and earth.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord first arrived at the Azure Spirit Field. He flew at low altitude, searching for high-grade spiritual fruits. When he saw that a Jade Moon Purple Spirit Fir was showing signs of transforming into a mid-grade fourth-order fruit, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"From now on, this place will enter the era of mid-grade fourth rank."

The spiritual plants growing in this small world grow and improve in quality much faster than those in the outside world. The small world itself is very special, and it also has a Gathering Yuan Tree that can improve the earth's veins. The planting spell released by the sovereign will make even late-stage Nascent Soul spiritual farmers feel ashamed.

The combination of these three effects creates this unique world.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lords landed beside the lightning-struck Green Vine Tree, pondering whether they should also follow the example of the Lord and plant some spiritual trees to be struck by divine lightning.

After a moment's thought, he gave up on the tempting idea; the success rate was too low, and it would only be possible if the spirit trees were planted intensively.

Because of the limited availability of seeds, he could only choose spiritual plants such as Red Cloud Pine and Azure Moon Purple Spirit Cedar, as he didn't particularly like eating pine nuts and cedar seeds.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord continued flying, finally arriving at the center of the lava lake. He saw that the mulberries on the Fusang tree had turned almost entirely golden, and the air was filled with a sweet fragrance. He couldn't help but drool. "The mulberries will be ripe in less than a year. They are mid-grade fourth-tier spiritual root fruits of heaven and earth. I must ask the Lord for some to taste."

The next day.

After absorbing the Morning Sun Purple Dew, Ji An, accompanied by the Five Sacred Mountains True Lords, landed on the purified land and said:
"There is a small spiritual vein node beneath this land, and it took me ten years to purify it."

Coming once a month only amounts to a little over a hundred spells, but given the current power of your magic, it will take at least fifty years.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lords were somewhat unconvinced, "Is the gap really that big?"

This means that the king's magical power is five times that of his. Although he respects the king, he doesn't think the difference is that big.

"Hehe, it's bigger than you think. The number I've given is already quite conservative."

Ji An laughed, saying that the spells he released, after being layered, could reach an astonishing level of power.

Moreover, his calculations only covered the numerical level; the actual situation is likely much more complex.

It would likely take the other party far more than fifty years to purify the demonized spiritual veins.

"Follow me," he said proudly, leading the five-colored deer to the spot where he had cast the spell the previous night.
"Feel the magical intent remaining here. As my cultivation level increases, if I were to estimate the numbers, it would take me a little over seven years to purify a polluted area."

However, I estimate that the actual time required will be less than seven years; how much less exactly, I cannot predict.

He wasn't bragging; the bloodline of the Five-Colored Deer was no match for him.

The five-colored deer carefully sensed the magical intent left behind by the Thick Virtue Evolution Mantra, and its fair face turned rosy.

My face felt hot, and so did my ears.

The concentration of magical intent here is more than twice that of his spellcasting. According to the conclusions drawn from his bloodline memories, the opponent's magical power will be more than eight times that of his.

He was completely numb; it was an overwhelming defeat.

Seeing the other person's blushing face, Ji An chuckled inwardly and said:

"I can leave you an area to try and see how many years it will take to completely clean up all the pollution and restore the land to normal."

How about giving it a try?
Anyway, I'll be traveling back and forth every day once the teleportation array is built, so taking you along isn't out of the question.

When there are only a few people, the number of high-grade spirit stones required to activate the teleportation array each time is fixed, and carrying the other person will not increase the burden.

From then on, he would spend two or three hours every day casting spells, which reminded him of the time when he first arrived at Crimson Flame Peak, a time that was extremely fulfilling.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Leave me 10,000 mu of land, at least give it a try."

The allure of the Xuanhuang Merit Qi is too great; how can one easily give it up?

It's just 10,000 mu of land; he only needs to come once or twice a month, which won't take up much of his time.

"Okay, it's settled then. There are still many contaminated areas that haven't been treated yet. You can choose a place and put up some markers yourself."

Ji An agreed. The Five-Colored Deer could benefit greatly from obtaining the Xuanhuang Merit Qi, and it was only natural to encourage the other party's willingness to improve.

Once the pollution here is completely purified, he will try to see if he can gain merit by transforming this desolate place.

By continuously nourishing the barren land with planting magic, it is theoretically possible to regenerate spiritual veins in the spiritual desert.

However, doing this would take too long, and those who are truly capable of doing it are all Nascent Soul level cultivators, who are all sect elders and are unwilling to do it this way.

Those cultivators who need the Xuanhuang Merit Qi probably don't possess the skills of a spiritual farmer, and they could likely obtain more in the Outer Heavens, so they disdain doing it.

Or rather, the merit gained from absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and dissipating into the world exceeds the gains from transforming a barren land.

Just as the five-colored deer and he were simultaneously purifying this polluted area, his gains would inevitably far exceed those of the other.

Ji An began to perform hand seals, his magical power flowing through his immortal veins. The Wuji Earth Dao Seed shimmered with a warm light, and several magical treasures combined their power to add to the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner.

The yellow aura spread out, instantly covering more than 200 acres of land, and the nourishing and peaceful divine will suppressed the polluting forces.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord departed on auspicious clouds. He cut down many branches as thick as an arm and ten feet long in the nearby mountains and forests, intending to erect one every hundred feet to enclose the area as an experimental field.

After releasing the spell, he found Ji An and said:
"Your Majesty, I have already encircled about 10,000 acres of land with tree branches, and the spell has been completed."

"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else?"

Ji An knew that the other party couldn't have come all this way just to tell him this little thing.

"Hehe, there's nothing for me to do now, I want to go back to my sect."

There were many sika deer, moose, reindeer, and elk waiting for him in the cave; a moment of spring night was worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Ji An didn't need anyone to stay and help him, and waved his hand, saying:
"Okay, go back."

He heard from the sect leader that many doe were pregnant, and he knew that this guy in front of him must be working very hard.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord bowed and scraped, his face full of obsequiousness, and said:

"Okay, sure."

However, there's something else. I've noticed the mulberries on the Fusang tree are almost ripe. I beg Your Majesty to have one and grant me a taste.

"All I remember is eating! There's only one."

"okay."

A month later, Ji An was performing magic in the contaminated area. He could not stop for even a day, otherwise the area would not be fully covered within a month.

Although I have three fewer hours to cultivate each day, the thought of obtaining a large amount of Xuanhuang Merit Qi in a few years fills me with enthusiasm.

A spirit boat arrived in the Yuanhe Mountain area and landed on an open space at the edge of the polluted area. Liu Yu led a team of disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall to fly out on clouds first.

Building a long-distance teleportation array is extremely expensive and cannot afford to fail, so he and his senior brother Lin Qiubai take turns guarding it, each for half a year.

He also brought four cultivators at the Chaoyuan stage and twenty disciples at the late Foundation Establishment stage, making for a very powerful lineup.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord also came along, riding the clouds towards his own land.

Zhang Zeye led four disciples from the Array Hall out of the spirit boat last. These disciples were all the most promising array masters and would be cultivated as Golden Core seeds in the future.

Ji An caught sight of the spirit boat arriving, cast a spell, and flew over.

The disciples bowed and greeted the True Lord.

"No need for formalities. You're earlier than the agreed time, so you seem quite confident."

I originally thought the formation masters would arrive around the 27th or 28th day, but they arrived seven days earlier than expected.

Zhang Zeye smiled broadly and said:
"Thanks to the True Lord, the teleportation array in the sect has been built, and the location has been chosen to be Luoyan Mountain."

That's a branch of the Beast Taming Hall, guarded by disciples every day, and it's very close to Crimson Flame Peak.
