Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 834 It's no wonder you received merit, fellow Daoist.
The next day, Chenshi.

Ji An focused his mind on his dantian, connecting with the stone tortoise to observe and compare how much spiritual energy he had absorbed the previous night.

As fourth-order spiritual veins, the spiritual energy obtained here is mainly of the wood and earth elements, with only a small amount of the metal and water elements, and almost no fire element.

Overall, the stone turtle absorbed less spiritual energy than it did at Crimson Flame Peak, only about 60% of what it had gained.

Ji An's mind left his dantian, and he exclaimed:

"It seems that Crimson Flame Peak is my lucky place. Although it is only a fourth-grade low-level stone turtle, the daily spiritual energy income of the stone turtle is comparable to that of a fourth-grade mid-level stone turtle. I wonder how long it will take for the sect's spiritual veins to be upgraded to the fourth-grade mid-level stone turtle."

At this moment, Zhenyue Zhenjun arrived at Luanpeng Pavilion and asked with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist, did you enjoy your stay here last night?"

“Very good. A few days ago, I traveled through that area of ​​the Land of Desolation and experienced the bitterness of the spiritual desert.”

After arriving in Central Continent, we sped along without stopping at any spiritual veins. Last night, we were even able to meditate in a fourth-tier spiritual vein, and we feel refreshed all over.

Ji An sighed and said that if he didn't have the Calabash World, he would have suffered a lot more to travel to the Central Continent.

There is no spiritual energy in the Land of Absolute Spirits, and the spiritual energy content in the narrow safety passage is extremely low. Without a small world as a backup, one needs to consume pills, spiritual fruits, spirit stones, and other items to refine one's spiritual power.

Ji An observed the other person's expression and asked:

"Fellow Daoist, what's the matter with the pill formula? Is there any result?"

This was one of his main purposes in traveling hundreds of thousands of miles to Central Continent, hoping to get an answer as soon as possible.

Next, he will search for and purify completely polluted spiritual veins in order to obtain the primordial and yellow merit energy.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay here for a few days. We are currently assessing the potential impact of trading the pill formula."

Zhenyue Zhenjun paused for a moment, then hinted, "The short wait is entirely worthwhile."

Ji An, understanding the implication, nodded and said:

"I'll linger for a few more days. I don't know how long it will take. I'd like to be mentally prepared."

Senior Brother has already set off for the Cloud Sea Merchant Alliance headquarters. A round trip will take four to five days. Zhenyue Zhenjun calculated the time and gave a conservative estimate:

"The results will be available within seven days."

Ji An felt relieved and chatted happily with the other party.

Judging from the attitude revealed by the other party, even if there are setbacks in the transaction of the pill formula, they can still buy a batch of Phoenix Nirvana Pills and take them away, so their goal can be considered achieved.

Five days passed, and Ji An, as usual, sat cross-legged in the pavilion contemplating the details of the Moon Palace. At that moment, a voice calling from outside came from outside.

He finished his meditation and stepped out of the pavilion. Zhenyue Zhenjun laughed and said:

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me to the Qiankun Palace."

This main hall is the main hall on our sect's main peak, and it has always been used to discuss important matters. If my two senior brothers have any questions later, please answer them truthfully.

"As long as it doesn't involve secrets, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

Ji An smiled and replied that there are some things that must be kept secret and not a single word can be revealed to outsiders.

The two of them flew on colorful auspicious clouds. If they wanted to fly fast enough, they had to fly themselves. The earth dragon beast pulling the cart was just for show.

A moment later, the two landed in front of the Qiankun Palace and strode inside.

At the introduction of Zhenyue Zhenjun, Ji An and two other Zhenjuns from Taixu Sect paid their respects.

The expected difficulties did not materialize, and the two sides engaged in friendly negotiations.

Chongxu Zhenjun said:

"We are very much looking forward to establishing contact with Fellow Daoist Xuanqing and your esteemed sect, and wish to obtain the formula for the Phoenix Nirvana Pill. Your sect will first need to contribute some resources: twenty catties of low-grade fourth-rank fire source stones and two catties of mid-grade fourth-rank dragon-patterned gold."

The other party didn't ask for an exorbitant price; a few fourth-tier spiritual items were the expected amount, and Ji An agreed without haggling.

“No problem, I’m willing to accept these resources. However, there are some resources I don’t have, so we’ll have to use other fourth-tier resources to complete the transaction.”

Ji An pointed out the spiritual item he lacked and proposed to trade it for a fourth-tier spiritual fruit.

Chongxu Zhenjun nodded kindly, "No problem."

These are all minor details; it's perfectly normal that the other party doesn't have the fourth-tier spiritual items they need.

"Our second request is to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with your sect, hoping that you can provide a stable supply of fourth-tier spiritual fruits, spiritual wood, spiritual tea and other supplies in the long term."

We buy at the normal price and will not deliberately try to lower the price.

He named a series of plants that specified the quotas, all of which were spiritual plants found in Crimson Flame Peak.

Ji An pondered for a moment and said:

“I agree to this request, but the time for starting to supply your sect with spiritual items needs to be postponed. We can start supplying them after 60 years, but the initial quantity will not be too large. It will take another hundred years before the supply can be stable.”

The sect does not possess a single fourth-tier spirit tree, so even if the trade is delayed by sixty years, it will most likely require support from his private warehouse when it begins.

With a solemn expression, True Monarch Wuchen said decisively:

"A period of sixty years is too long. At most, we should start trading in thirty years. Once the agreement is signed, the original agreement we signed will be void, and you can send the pill formula to your sect's place of transmission."

There is no reason to let the other party receive benefits without fulfilling their obligations; that would be a loss for the Taixu Sect.

Ji An explained, "It's not that I intentionally delayed. It's only been a few decades since our sect's spiritual veins were upgraded to the fourth rank, while upgrading the rank of spiritual trees requires a long period of painstaking cultivation. Although we have cultivated a few fourth-rank spiritual trees using secret methods, it is simply not enough to meet such a huge demand."

The two sides discussed for a long time, neither willing to make any concessions, and the negotiations reached a stalemate, with silence falling over the hall.

Ji An dared not agree, for if he did, it would easily lead people to suspect that his spiritual fruit had another source.

Huayin Zhenjun cleared his throat and spoke:

"I think we can take a compromise approach: when we sign the agreement, we can stipulate the minimum transaction amount for each type of spiritual item in each transaction cycle."

We can set the start date of the transaction sixty years from now, as you requested, but we also need to consider our needs.

We require the transaction to take place thirty years later, thirty years earlier than your request. The difference in transaction amount must be gradually made up over time, and must be cleared within forty years; otherwise, additional penalties will be imposed.

Ji An pondered and said:
"I agree."

After pondering for a moment, True Monarch Wuchen said:

"This method is feasible, I agree."

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Chongxu Zhenjun nodded secretly and said:

"Let's sign an agreement: the pill formula can only be passed down among alchemists in your sect who are at least at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm."

One more thing: the Phoenix Nirvana Pills you refine can only be used by your sect's disciples and must not be sold to other forces. Any surplus pills can only be sold to us. What do you think, fellow Daoist?

He was very optimistic about the future of True Monarch Xuanqing and the development of the Golden Spirit Sect. He felt that the deal was perfect because he had gained both benefits and favors from the pill formula.

Ji An nodded and smiled:
"can."

In truth, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to cultivate enough fourth-tier spiritual plants in the sect, but he had no choice but to agree given the other party's concessions.

When I return to the sect, I need to put the cultivation of lightning-struck wood on the agenda.

Both sides signed a strict agreement and made solemn vows.

Ji An felt completely relaxed. There were materials for several batches of Phoenix Nirvana Pills in the warehouse in the gourd world. He would refine one batch as soon as he returned to the small world for Qin Yan to use.

He remembered his purpose in Zhongzhou and asked:
"Fellow Daoists, do you know of any spiritual veins that have been completely corrupted by demonic energy?"

Chongxu Zhenjun asked curiously:
"What is your intention, fellow Daoist?"

Ji An did not hide his discoveries and gains; after signing the agreement, the Jinling Sect and the Taixu Sect became allies.

"There is a polluted spiritual vein in the Western Continent. The polluted area is constantly expanding and poses a serious threat to the surrounding areas."

I was researching how to effectively and quickly purify polluted areas when I made a surprising discovery: casting the planting spell "Virtue and Spirit" can effectively control the spread and expansion of polluted areas.

After entering, I completed the purification of the polluted spiritual veins and obtained a small amount of Xuanhuang merit energy.

Huayin Zhenjun's surprise was palpable, his eyes wide and round:

"Such a good thing can really happen?"

This is a good thing!

No Nascent Soul cultivator is willing to let the essence of the sun and moon, which they have painstakingly absorbed, dissipate back into the world. Under normal circumstances, only late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators have the opportunity to obtain the Xuanhuang Merit Qi.

She composed herself and pressed on:
"How many years did it take you, fellow Daoist, to complete the purification of the spiritual veins?"

"The area I purified wasn't very large, and it took me nearly four years. However, if I can't cultivate the Thick Virtue Spirit Evolution Mantra to an extremely high level, the time required to purify the pollution will increase significantly, and it's very possible that it will take decades."

"Fellow Daoist, what level is your magic?"

"At the Great Perfection level, and because I possess the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag spiritual treasure, I can amplify the power of my spells."

Ji An tried his best to describe his own strength to avoid others making misjudgments and wasting time purifying the demonic vein.

The True Lords exchanged glances, and True Lord Zhenyue revealed an expression of admiration:

"It's no wonder you received the Xuanhuang Merit Qi, fellow Daoist. I don't know how to express my feelings except envy."

There are actually people who have mastered the planting technique at the Nascent Soul level to the Great Perfection level. Such cultivators must be very few and far between in the Divine Wood Sect.

He thought for a moment and said:

"The closest polluted place to my sect is more than 6,000 miles to the north, called Diancui Mountain. Fellow Daoist, you can go and take a look."

"Thank you for the information, fellow Daoist. I will treat you to drinks when the spiritual veins are purified."

Chongxu Zhenjun stroked his beard and laughed:

"This wine is a must! Are you planning to go to Diancui Mountain and stay there permanently, fellow Daoist?"

Ji An nodded slightly and replied:
"Yes, I will first fly to the Demon Vein to investigate the situation, and then I will go to the Cloud Sea Merchant Alliance."

He turned to look at Zhenyue Zhenjun and said:
"Jinrong Zhenren of Wanbaolou and I are very close friends. Recently, he is going into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, and I was invited by Pingtian Zhenjun to attend the ceremony at the Merchant Alliance."

"I will head to Diancui Mountain after the Nascent Soul Tribulation is over."

Zhenyue Zhenjun nodded, "The Yunhai Business Alliance has also invited us to attend the ceremony, and we will see each other again then."
