Chapter 861 Mutant Mysterious Leaf Sword Bamboo
The following day, Lu Yunfei, the master of the Puppet Hall, arrived at Crimson Flame Peak at the appointed time.

He was somewhat excited. The True Lord was the strongest person in the sect, and he could only meet him once a day when he was giving a sermon.

Inside the cave, Ji An said gently:
"Sit down and talk. Have you brought all the puppets I requested?"

"I brought them. There are sixteen types of these puppets in total, representing various grades."

As Lu Yunfei spoke, he handed over a storage bag, saying, "Inside are puppets. Please examine them, True Lord."

Ji An took out all the puppets and tested them all, saying:
"Very good, how many merits are these puppets worth?"

Going out to reform the sacred land is a private matter, and one should not neglect public duty for private reasons. In particular, he should set a good example in his position.

"Most of them are low-level puppets, and all of them together only require 1,600 merit points."

Ji An handed over his identity jade token, and Lu Yunfei took out his spirit plate to deduct the merit. He also took the opportunity to ask about the problems he encountered in his cultivation, as there were not many opportunities to receive one-on-one guidance from the True Lord.

After receiving guidance from the True Lord, Lu Yunfei cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, True Lord. I have been pondering these questions for a long time without any clue. After listening to your words, I suddenly understand."

He deeply envied Lin Lan, Han Shan, and others, who could frequently receive their master's personal instructions.

Ji An maintained his smile and encouraged him:

"The fact that you can understand my words so quickly shows that you have thought deeply enough, but you haven't formed a systematic understanding, so it feels like a mess."

Continue with this attitude, carefully consider the characteristics of the exercise, and you have great potential for improvement.

He remembered that when he first entered the sect, the Puppet Hall could only refine first-grade high-quality puppets. Although it was a separate hall, it was like it was just there to make up the numbers.

As a puppeteer, it is truly remarkable that he has reached this point without any guidance.

"With the encouragement of the True Lord, this disciple will certainly continue to work hard."

"Haha, keep up the good work! I have a batch of fourth-tier spirit wood waiting for you to refine fourth-tier puppets for me."

Lu Yunfei's eyes shone brightly as he solemnly cupped his hands and said:
"We won't keep the True Lord waiting too long."

He loved figuring out how to make puppets, which is why he chose to become a puppeteer. His daily life was simple and pure: cultivating, comprehending techniques, making puppets, and figuring out how to make better puppets.

In recent years, the sect has obtained many secret techniques for crafting puppets. He has improved many of these techniques because he believes that many of the crafting steps are superfluous and meaningless.

Once his cultivation reaches the late Golden Core stage, he can attempt to refine a fourth-order puppet.

Ji An absorbed the essence of the setting sun, and his nascent soul used a technique to condense a few drops of sun essence.

Most of these drops of golden spiritual liquid were directly absorbed by the body, and a small portion was absorbed by the Qi and Blood Inner Core in the middle dantian, but both were used to temper the physical body.

He flew down the mountain and began to cast a spell on the spiritual field; the brilliance of the spell overshadowed the setting sun.

He quickly flew to the Emerald Mulberry Fields and looked down. After a moment of contemplation, he cut down many one-foot-long branches around the mulberry grove.

It was as if he had returned to the time when he first came to Crimson Flame Peak. Ye Changqing helped him find a large number of mulberry branches, which he planted. Later, this attracted the Beast Taming Hall to establish a branch hall in Falling Goose Mountain.

Ji An roughly divided up fifty acres of land, transported the felled branches out of the area, and then cast a hand seal to release the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.

The blue lightning that covered the two acres flashed continuously, turning the blue branches and leaves of the Emerald Mulberry trees into ashes and the trunks into charcoal.

After all the spiritual plants in the designated fifty-acre area had been baptized by the divine lightning of the Yi Wood, Ji An was pleasantly surprised to find that a touch of green appeared on the charred black trunk of a third-grade mid-level Jade Leaf Mulberry tree, and several tender buds sprouted.

He immediately landed, sensed the state of the spirit tree, nodded in satisfaction, and smiled:

"Great luck, you're really fortunate."

There are no lightning-struck mulberry trees in the Calabash World yet. I wonder what kind of shock this special Emerald Leaf Mulberry will bring to the sect.

Ji An planted the branches he had just cut into the ground, and then made a hand seal to release the Dragon Soaring and All Things Grow.

Clouds and mist churned, and the roar of dragons echoed. Raindrops as white as jade and azure wood-elemental spiritual light illuminated the night sky, and the cuttings slowly grew roots.

Ji An completed the work of casting the spell on the spirit field of Crimson Flame Peak. He also marked out fifty acres of land in the Crimson Cloud Pine Forest in the southern part of the mountain and used the Yi Wood Divine Thunder to test the Crimson Cloud Pine.

Unfortunately, not a single pine tree survived.

He scattered pine nuts on the spiritual field, made a hand seal to release the Great Virtue Spiritual Mantra and the Dragon Soaring to Life, and seedlings sprouted from the soil. When the clouds and mist dissipated, these seedlings grew to more than three feet tall.

"When I return to the sect, what rank will you be trained to?"

With questions in his mind, Ji An released a golden light that seemed to leap from the ground, his body transforming into a rainbow of light as he passed through the magical barriers and entered the cave.

He strolled to the quiet room, holding the gourd-shaped stone in his hand, and touched the silver spots within it with his divine sense.

The next moment, his feet landed on the ground containing fourth-grade superior Yellow Emperor Virtue Soil.

Ji An restrained the spiritual treasure, keeping it within his dantian. His hand seals shifted, releasing the Thick Virtue Evolution Mantra. The Dao Seed, the spiritual treasure, and the mana within his body resonated, enhancing the spell's power. The power of the spell he released was now nearly 30% higher than before his cultivation breakthrough.

The gentle spiritual light descended, instantly spreading across the entire yellow earth. The divine power nourishing the earth permeated the air, and a rumbling sound came from the ground, as warmth rose.

There are currently three lightning-struck earth spirit fruit trees in this area. Two of them are mid-grade fourth-level trees and have already borne fruit, with a total of twelve fruits. The other tree was cultivated in recent years and is currently only low-grade third-level.

In addition, a lightning-struck wood-leaf sword bamboo was cultivated. This spirit bamboo is a fourth-grade low-level plant and is a complete mutant.

Initially, the bark was charred black, similar to other lightning-struck wood. Later, it shed its bark several times and returned to a yellowish-brown color, but with many more lightning patterns.

Normal sword bamboo has golden leaves, but its leaves are silver, and the metal elemental energy it contains is purer and more concentrated. The surface of the leaves occasionally flashes with electric arcs and makes a crackling sound.

Ji An flew to the azure spiritual field, where there were more than four hundred Bodhi trees, most of which had reached the middle grade of the fourth rank and had begun to bear fruit.

Once the spirit fruits ripen, he will eat them as "fruits." Apart from their unpleasant taste, spirit fruits are considered to have advantages.

The number of lightning-struck trees in this spiritual field has also increased, with seven Azure Dragon Trees and three Nether Moon Jade Trees, two of which are of mid-grade fourth rank and one of top-grade third rank.

There is still only one lightning-struck Ficus microcarpa tree, because in recent years he has focused on cultivating the Jade Tree of the Cloud Top, and now there is one.

He released the Dragon Soaring and All Things Grow, then flew to the black spirit field on a cloud. The number of Thunderstruck Wood Heavenly Yuan Pears reached two, with the fourth-grade mid-level plant bearing eighteen fruits, and the other plant only being a third-grade mid-level plant.

The Xuanjing Frost Rice has been cultivated to its fifth generation and has been growing for half a year. The plant is a foot shorter than before, but it is thicker and the stalks are as thick as a little finger.

Each ear of fourth-generation Lingmi rice can produce more than twenty grains, similar in plumpness to pearl blood rice.

However, it is only a third-tier spirit rice, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Currently, the planting area of ​​Xuan Shuang Jing Mi is about half an acre, and after harvesting this batch of spiritual rice, he plans to expand the area to three acres.

Adhering to the principle of selecting the best among the best, Ji An does not intend to blindly expand the planting area; quality is what he values ​​most.

Ji An once again unleashed the Dragon Soaring to All Things and flew to the sky above the white spiritual field.

The Seven Luminaries Golden Branch is the most eye-catching presence in the white spirit field. This spiritual tree has reached the middle grade of the fourth rank, but it has not yet borne fruit.

There are over six hundred Vajra Bodhi Trees, more than the number of Bodhi Trees. Most of them have reached the middle grade of the fourth rank and have already borne fruit.

The fruits of the two types of Bodhi trees are similar in size, slightly larger than a pigeon's egg.

Once the Vajra Bodhi fruit matures, some of it is consumed, and the rest is refined into medicinal paste to enhance body-refining techniques.

Ji An released the Great Virtue Spirit-Evolving Spell, riding the clouds to fly above the lava lake, where the mulberries hanging on the Fusang tree were very eye-catching.

To his surprise, the fire-elemental spiritual plants were the most numerous than the lightning-struck wood, but upon closer reflection, this situation made perfect sense.

Thunder magic possesses both destructive and regenerative powers; the wood element spirit energy within the Yi Wood Divine Thunder can further stimulate the life vitality of fire element spirit plants.

This red land has seven lightning-struck red cloud pines, three dragon blood trees, two fire-exposed apricot trees, and three spirit peach trees.

Excluding the Crimson Cloud Pine, there are five Fire Element Lightning Strike Wood Spirit Fruit Trees that have reached the middle grade of the fourth rank and are all bearing fruit. Once all the spirit fruits are ripe, fifty-four spirit fruits can be harvested.

All the spiritual fields in the gourd world have reached the fourth-order superior level and have begun to nourish the spiritual veins underground.

Three days later, Ji An sat cross-legged on the back of Xuanwu and flew away, with the sunset glow behind him. He controlled his magical treasure to reach the edge of the Land of Desolation and looked out over this desolate land.

He discarded the high-grade spirit stone in his hand, which had absorbed all its spiritual power, and stood on the back armor of the Xuanwu, continuously releasing the Thick Virtue Evolution Spirit Spell and the Dragon Soars to All Things.

He didn't venture deep into the Spirit-Severing Land to cast his spell; he only released it on the outermost edge of the Spirit-Severing Land.

Amidst the roar of dragons, torrential rain poured down, but this desolate land, like a desert, acted like a giant sponge, absorbing the rainwater completely in the blink of an eye, leaving only watermarks that quickly dried up.

As he cast his spell, the divine intent of the five elements contained within the magic began to entangle this land that had been deprived of spiritual nourishment for many years.

Unsure whether the method of transforming the land of absolute spirituality could actually yield the primordial energy of Xuanhuang, Ji An only performed the spell on 10,000 mu of land.

This way, the sunk cost is not high; 10,000 acres of land can be covered by the spell only a hundred times, and retreat is possible at any time.

Before long, Ji An completed his objective and released the flying puppet to monitor everything around him.

He then rode away on auspicious five-colored clouds, found a stone mountain a hundred feet high, and used his magic to create a cave.

He took out the array flags and array plate, checked the use of the spirit stones, and then set up the Xuanwu Armor Formation.

The magic circle shimmered like ripples on a lake, conjuring up rocks that were almost indistinguishable from the surrounding landscape, thus concealing the cave entrance.

Ji An entered the gourd world and ordered Big Yellow and Golden Hair to come out and guard the cave entrance.
