Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 837 The Complete Secret Technique of the Silk-Pulling Spell
The cultivators who possessed the demonic iron ore were tempted. They knew that True Lord Pingtian would definitely gain more from the transaction, but that was up to his abilities.

Taking out the magic iron ore can turn waste into treasure, and the price offered by the other party is also quite good.

Zhenyue Zhenjun strode forward, "I have a lot of demonic iron ore in my hands, and I don't know what to do with it. Fellow Daoist is willing to buy it. It's like someone delivering a pillow when I'm sleepy."

Haha, let's replace it all with amethyst copper ore.

Amethyst copper isn't a particularly precious Tier 4 material, but it's used in large quantities, so stocking up on it is always a good idea.

He took out three metal boxes, each about three feet square, and opened them to find them completely filled with magic iron ore. The emerald green light reflected on his face, making him look even more sinister.

When Yuanrong Zhenjun saw this, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

As the True Lord of Heaven weighed it, he laughed and said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyue is indeed powerful enough to have gained so much!"

Many fellow cultivators would be lucky to get even half a box of loot, so to bring out so much at once is a testament to the opponent's strength.

Zhenyue Zhenjun smiled and nodded, humbly saying:

"This is what my partner and I have gained together, it's just average."

Together they killed ten Nascent Soul level True Demons, most of whom were at the early Nascent Soul stage, but two of them were at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

He was actually quite proud of his achievements, but with Xuanqing Zhenjun present, he couldn't feel proud at all.

The opponent's record sounds like a dream, and it's likely to cause a sensation when they take the field.

Ping Tian Zhenjun quickly completed the weighing and took out a sufficient amount of amethyst copper ore to complete the transaction.

One by one, True Lords stepped forward, exchanging Demon Iron Ore for resources. The boxes they took out only contained a small amount of material, not even enough to fill them completely.

Tianyan Zhenjun stepped forward, took out two metal boxes, and transmitted his voice:

'I don't need fourth-tier resources; I need third-tier high-grade and top-grade resources to upgrade my spiritual vein's rank.'

"No problem, fellow Daoist, just give me the list, and I can deliver the resources to you in a few days, how about that?"

"can."

True Lord Tianyan agreed. They were all members of the merchant alliance, and they had known each other for many years, so they trusted each other to some extent.

After weighing it, True Lord Pingtian looked around and asked, "Are there any other fellow Daoists who need to trade?"

Ji An stepped forward and took out the jade slip he had just copied:

"Fellow Daoist, I need to exchange for mid-grade fourth-tier resources. Would you be willing to exchange them?"

He had little interest in amethyst copper ore; what he lacked for upgrading his spiritual treasures was mid-grade fourth-tier resources.

Ping Tian Zhenjun replied with a smile:

"Of course you can, but exchanging for higher-grade resources will be at a discount, and the actual spiritual items you receive will be reduced by 10%."

"no problem."

Ji An handed over the jade slip, saying, "I accept everything on it, with priority given to water-based spiritual items."

After Shi Xiu appeared, it would cost more to transport water-based spiritual objects from the East Sea, so he planned to prioritize purchasing water-based spiritual objects.

After saying that, he took out two metal boxes, each four feet square, and opened the seal to reveal them full of magic iron ore.

A cultivator who had just arrived that day sent a telepathic message to a familiar friend asking:

"This fellow Daoist who came forward to make the transaction looks unfamiliar. Who is he?"

The cultivator was even more surprised to receive a reply from his friend via telepathy.

When Ping Tian Zhenjun saw the demonic iron ore, he paused for a moment and said:
"Very good, it seems that many Nascent Soul level True Demons have perished at your hands, fellow Daoist."

He estimated the capacity of the boxes and knew that the two boxes contained more magic iron ore than Zhenyue Zhenjun and his wife had combined.

He then examined the information in the jade slip and found that the other party's demand for spiritual items covered four categories: metal, wood, water, and fire. There were many types, but not many quantities, so he assumed that the other party was purchasing them for the sect.

"Let's weigh it first, and then calculate the value later."

After a moment, True Lord Pingtian began to calculate how many spiritual items he could exchange for. He pondered and said:

"Fellow Daoist, this batch of ore can be exchanged for all the water-elemental and fire-elemental spiritual items on the list, as well as five catties of red copper essence. Are you willing?"

Ji An raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a gentle smile:

"make a deal!"

This will allow us to upgrade the grades of the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag and the Li Di Flame Flag, which can be done once Qin Yan's cultivation breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"I will gather the spiritual items you need as soon as possible. You can keep the magic iron ore for now."

Unlike Tianyan Zhenjun, the other party had not known him for very long, and he was not confident that he could take the magic iron ore first and make the other party wait.

Ji An smiled and declined the offer, saying:
"If I take the ore, I'll need to weigh it again for the next transaction, which is troublesome."

"Fellow Daoist, please take the ore. I trust you."

He wasn't pretending to be generous; he was simply confident that no one could take his things for free.

Ping Tian Zhenjun nodded, "I will not let you down. I will gather enough resources before Jinrong breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Fellow Daoist, my transactions are all complete. Begin yours."

After saying that, he patted Ji An on the shoulder, put the box into the Cave Void Stone, and walked back to his seat.

Ji An, relying on his memory, described the metal and wood elemental spirit items he needed. He only mentioned mid-grade fourth-tier resources; high-grade resources were too valuable, and he didn't have many to offer. After explaining his needs, he stated what he could provide:

"I can exchange it for spiritual items such as mid-grade fourth-grade lightning-struck wood, mid-grade fourth-grade jade dew golden bud tea, green ivy fruit, mid-grade fourth-grade longevity peach, and low-grade fourth-grade yin soul fruit."

These are all he can offer right now; many of the Lightning-Struck Wood Spirit Fruits are not yet ripe and are not worth using Daoist techniques to ripen them for trade.

Zhenyue Zhenjun raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself:
'You're really willing to spend a lot! What exactly do you intend to do with all these resources, Fellow Daoist Xuanqing?'

"Haha, I'm willing to offer some wood-elemental spiritual items in exchange for a longevity peach."

Several cultivators stood up at the same time, each refusing to give way. No cultivator complained about having too much lifespan; they only lamented that their lifespan was running out.

Seeing this, Ji An felt much more relaxed and said:

"Please come one by one. I have enough longevity peaches in my hand for each of you to exchange for."

His cultivation level had been advancing by leaps and bounds, and he kept most of the fourth-grade mid-level longevity peaches he had obtained, a total of sixteen.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became humble and polite, and went up on stage one by one. Apart from the Biluo Fruit, all the other spiritual items were exchanged.

After the transaction was completed, Ji Anfa felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, having obtained all the fourth-tier mid-grade spiritual materials needed to upgrade the spiritual treasure's rank.

Since some gold and fire resources are stored in the sect, the only items he can upgrade are the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner and the Profound Origin Water Control Banner.

The transactions continued, and Ji An, having no further needs, watched with great interest as others made their deals.

Ten days later.

As the aftershocks of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder faded, the sky suddenly darkened, and the starlight above was obscured by an unknown force.

A yin moon suddenly appeared from the void, its serene light shining on the place where Wan Jinrong broke through, and eerie wailing echoed in all directions.

On a certain mountain peak, True Lord Pingtian cupped his hands and said:

"Congratulations, old friend, the Wan family has a successor."

The formation of the Nascent Soul stage startled even ghosts and gods; Wan Jinrong had broken through!

The cultivators watching the ceremony offered their congratulations in unison, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist! May Wanbaolou reach new heights!"

Yuan Rong Zhenjun's smile was so wide it could be squeezed into a chrysanthemum, as he smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture:

"Thank you all for your support. I will host a banquet at the Xia Guang Palace tomorrow at noon, and we will all drink until we are completely drunk!"

"Haha, we should really enjoy the fine wines that Wanshou Manor has in its collection."

"Don't worry, everyone. The spirit wine is at least a low-grade fourth-order wine."

As the moon gradually faded, fiery clouds appeared in the sky, sometimes gathering into a cluster, sometimes scattering into a sky full of stars. This was the Nascent Soul cultivator perfecting his Nascent Soul Dharma Form.

The True Lords who had witnessed the ceremony left one by one and returned to their residences. Ji An returned to the pavilion, sat cross-legged on a futon, and focused his mind on the stone tortoise in his dantian.

[Tao Yun: Gold 1237.4, Water 492.7, Wood 298.6, Fire 2116.6, Earth 684.8]

A faint smile appeared on his face. He had gained over a thousand points of Daoist essence, and he was in a good mood.

He summoned the Flame Banner that had risen off the ground. At this point, the small hole on the banner was only the size of a soybean. He then activated the Melting Gold Divine Fire Technique to nurture the spiritual treasure.

The following day, after the banquet, everyone said their goodbyes.

Ji Anping, Tianzhenjun, and Tianyanzhenjun were going the same way, so they left together.

The three of them were not flying fast, and they were very close together. Tianzhenjun said:
"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, the Golden Puppet Sect is in dire need of help right now. Would you be interested in making a deal with them?"

Last night, True Lord Tianyan found him, recounted the grudges from back then, and expressed his worries.

His question seemed more like a probe, testing Ji An's attitude towards the Golden Puppet Sect. If the two sides could reach a deal, it would indicate that the matter was not serious.

Ji An pursed her lips and asked in return:
"What kind of deal are you going to make? What are you willing to give up, and what do you hope to gain, Fellow Daoist Tianyan?"

True Lord Tianyan spoke up, chuckling as he said:

"Our Golden Puppet Sect is most famous for crafting puppets, and we are prepared to offer some of our secret techniques for crafting puppets for trade."

These secret techniques can be used to create top-tier third-order puppets, but only defensive puppets are available.

I want to exchange for Tier 3 high-grade and top-grade resources to upgrade the quality of my spiritual veins.

Ji An showed little interest in the method of puppet making and replied:
"But I don't have any of these low-level resources."

After pondering for a moment, Tianyan Zhenjun made up his mind and said:

"I am willing to trade a method for crafting a fourth-tier defensive puppet with you, fellow Daoist. The only condition is that the crafting method cannot be traded and can only circulate within your sect. I wonder if you are interested?"

A fourth-tier puppet and a third-tier puppet are two completely different concepts. Even a low-grade fourth-tier puppet can be much more effective than a top-grade third-tier puppet.

Ji An immediately became interested and agreed:

"We can discuss the details."

He then transmitted the message:
"I once bought a puppet from the Golden Puppet Pavilion on a merchant airship, and at that time I was given the secret technique of the Silk-Pulling Spell."

"I wonder if you are willing to offer the complete secret technique in exchange. I am willing to swear an oath of the Great Dao and sign an agreement guaranteeing that I will not reveal the secret technique to anyone."

The Silk-Pulling Mantra can help one practice multitasking and also has a slight effect on training the spirit.

Tianyan Zhenjun pondered quickly for a long time before answering:
"Secret techniques can be traded; let's exchange ideas more often between our two sects in the future."
