Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 948 Yin-Yang Dao Seed
A century has passed since Ji An stayed on the moon, and his footsteps have traversed every corner of this land.

The ghost mushroom is the only known spiritual plant; no animals have been found to be present in it.

He, along with Wuyue Zhenjun, Yue Ling'er, and others, discovered many fourth-tier ghost mushrooms, but none of them were found to be fifth-tier spiritual plants.

In the gourd world, the western sky was filled with fiery red sunset clouds.

Ji An urged the dragon to soar and all things to life, and the magical power containing the characteristics of Yin and Yang was transformed into the corresponding power of the Five Elements. The Azure Dragon and the Black Dragon rolled in the clouds and mist, and a torrential rain poured down above the Azure and Black Spirit Fields.

The power of the moon formed the serene glow of the bright moon, and the rain, full of nourishment and divine power, brought abundant life to the spiritual fields.

Compared to the Nascent Soul stage, the Yin energy contained in this full moon is purer.

Whether it was Ji An's tamed beasts or the monsters he raised to provide meat, all of them felt a sense of peace deep within their souls when they were exposed to the light.

Now all Nascent Soul level planting spells and some high-level spells have been improved. In addition, with the improvement of mana quality, the power of the same spell can be enhanced several times.

Nourished by higher-level spells, more and more spiritual plants are being cultivated to the fourth-tier top-grade level, and the growth cycle of spiritual rice is also shortened considerably.

However, Ji An felt that these spells were not yet at the Three Flowers Realm level, because he had already practiced the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to the Great Perfection level, but the power of the Chaos Five Elements Thunder was weaker than this spell.

It should be noted that the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning is not a true Three Flowers Realm spell; to obtain a spell of this level, one must rely on creating one oneself.

Even so, a Nascent Soul level being would have absolutely no power to resist a cultivator at the Three Flowers Realm.

When the clouds dispersed, the mist cleared, and the rain stopped, the bright moon formed by the power of Yin quickly dimmed and finally disappeared.

The leaves of the spiritual plant are even more emerald green, and water droplets gather on the tips of the leaves, crystal clear.

Currently, there are eighteen lightning-struck Heavenly Yuan Pear trees in the Black Spirit Field, eight of which are of the highest quality fourth rank; and eight lightning-struck Azure Spirit Mist Trees, four of which are of the highest quality fourth rank.

There are eleven lightning-struck trees and Youyue Cangyu trees in the blue spirit field, six of which are of the fourth-order top-grade level. If he had enough spirit seeds, he could definitely cultivate more lightning-struck trees.

There are eight Lightning-Struck Jade Trees on Cloud Peak, and four of them are of the fourth-tier top-grade level. The Lightning-Struck Jade Trees, Azure Dragon Trees, and Jade Leaf Mulberry trees are twelve, twenty-nine, and forty-two respectively, and the fourth-tier top-grade plants are five, sixteen, and six respectively.

Perhaps it's because the level of the Jade Leaf Mulberry is too low, the number of high-level Jade Leaf Mulberry plants struck by lightning is also less than that of other types of spiritual plants.

Only the Crimson Spirit Field has more lightning-struck trees than the Cyan Spirit Field, and it also has the most fourth-tier spirit plants in the entire small world.

After casting the spell on all the spirit fields, Ji An flew back to the center of the small world on a cloud. Spirit food and fine wine had already been laid out on the table under the Gathering Yuan Tree.

Ayun stepped forward solicitously, "Master, the banquet is ready, please take your seats!"

Her smile and voice were equally sweet, revealing two rows of pearly teeth.

As Ji An's ability to craft puppets continued to improve, he finally developed a magic array that could make the puppets speak.

Although all the puppets enjoyed this benefit, only A-Yun preferred this method. The other puppets preferred to communicate using mental power because mental transmission only takes a moment.

Ji An knew that the essence of sound is vibration, but how to transform the puppet's thoughts into sound was a difficult problem. Previously, neither puppets nor formations in the cultivation world had this need, so the knowledge system he acquired did not have similar cases.

Fortunately, this was not a difficult application. After continuous experimentation, he finally created a magic circle that made the puppets speak more than 20 years ago.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord, who was waiting nearby, walked over with a smile. "Your Majesty, we've been waiting for you for quite a while. Please take a seat and let's start our meal."

Tonight's meal includes two top-grade fourth-tier Earthly Fire Immortal Apricots; he absolutely cannot be absent from an occasion like this.

Since Yue Ling'er is a corpse cultivator and doesn't need to eat, only the two of them can enjoy this banquet.

Ji An nodded slightly, smiling as he smelled the aroma of grilled fish and various meats, and took his seat.

The spirit wine is a top-grade fourth-tier peach blossom wine, made by using top-grade fourth-tier spirit peaches and stored peach blossoms as the core ingredients, and adding some spiritual herbs.

Several small steamed buns were made with fourth-grade superior green jade wheat flour, along with 'honey glutinous rice lotus root' made with the same grade of Kunyu spirit rice, honey, and fourth-grade top-grade lotus root, and all sorts of other delicacies.

These two jars of wine today are the first batch of fourth-grade top-quality peach blossom wine. Ayun broke the seal on the jars and filled them for the two of them, and the rich aroma of the wine filled the air.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord's eyes immediately lit up, "Your Majesty has such fine wine?"

Over the years, he had drunk a lot of spirit wine, and he could tell what kind of wine it was just by its aroma, but today's aroma was not one of the kinds he was familiar with.

Ayun smiled and introduced the spirit wine, then returned to her master's side.

Ji An raised an eyebrow slightly, "I didn't see you helping when brewing the wine, but you seem to know quite a bit about drinking it."

"Your Majesty, I'm innocent! When I went to help, A-Yun said it wasn't necessary."

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord raised an eyebrow at A-Yun, indicating that he wanted A-Yun to speak on his behalf.

“The True Lord is right. There is no need to let him do such a small job as brewing wine. It would be a waste of his talents.”

"Your Majesty, did you hear that?"

Ji An shook his head slightly without saying anything more, picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

After a few rounds of drinks, he said:
“We’ve practically scouted the entire moon, and all the easily found Tier 4 Ghost Mushrooms have been harvested. It’s time to leave.”

It's unclear how long it will take to create a spell at the Three Flowers Realm level. In addition, his combat spells have been improved, as has his Golden Light Across the Earth. Now his flying speed is more than twice what it used to be, so there's no need for him to stay here any longer.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord nodded solemnly, "As Your Majesty commands, when do you plan to leave?"

The Ghost Mushrooms planted in the small world are growing well, and their highest grade has now broken through to the fourth-grade superior grade. Moreover, the power of the sovereign's planting magic has greatly improved, and it won't be long before they can be cultivated into fourth-grade supreme Ghost Mushrooms.

With so much Ghost Mushroom ash as fertilizer, we can cultivate fourth-tier top-grade spirit plants more quickly and shorten the growth period of spirit fruits.

Over the course of a century, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he is now at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, the same level as Yue Ling'er.

The number of fourth-tier top-grade fruit trees in the small world is increasing, and his cultivation level is very likely to surpass Yue Ling'er's in the future.

Ji An drank the wine in his cup. "The deduction of Yin-Yang Divine Thunder has entered its final stage. I will leave once this spell is created."

As the sunset gradually lost its bright colors, Ayun placed the luminous pearl inside the lantern and arranged it around the table, instantly brightening the somewhat dim light.

Three months later.

Facing the gentle breeze from the mountaintop, Ji An's hand seals changed rapidly, and several Dao Seeds shone brightly, their magical power flowing along specific routes within the immortal veins.

He unleashed a spell, and black and white lightning appeared in the distance.

The white aura was dazzling and bright, and Ji An felt a slight burning sensation in his eyes; the black aura was deep and profound, seemingly able to draw one's spirit into it.

The lightning flashed silently, but the powerful shockwave spread outwards like a hurricane, destroying and snapping the nearby ghost mushrooms, which flew down the mountain. Ji An's black hair danced wildly, and his loud laughter echoed in all directions. He laughed heartily, unable to calm down for a long time.

Deducing spells is not an easy task. Back then, it took a lot of time and effort to deduce the Xuanqi Genglin Jue, a spell for planting metal elements. If it weren't for a stroke of luck, the Yin-Yang Divine Thunder could not have been deduced so quickly.

As the Yin-Yang Divine Thunder was released, his understanding of the power of Yin and Yang deepened considerably.

Many questions that I couldn't understand before now have clear answers. The world has become a simple black and white color at this moment, which looks much more monotonous.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment; the scent of the wind vanished, and all other smells disappeared without a trace.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe only a moment, but as the black and white in my eyes changed in brightness, the world returned to its original colorful state.

The wind continued to blow, and the scent of ghost mushrooms wafted over.

The next moment, the five Dao Seeds in Ji An's body left their respective divine palaces and converged in the middle dantian along the immortal meridians.

The five Daoist elements—green, red, yellow, white, and black—came together and quickly merged, soon forming a black and white sphere.

The sphere split into five and returned to the Five Elements Divine Palace.

Upon sensing what was happening within his body, Ji An immediately focused his mind on his dantian, connecting with the stone tortoise to observe the changes. Golden characters then appeared above the Guanghan Palace.

[Master: Ji An]

[Taoist Rhyme: Yin 1916.4, Yang 1938.7]

Spiritual Ability: Kan Spirit 621814.6, Gen Spirit 41263.9, Zhen Spirit 462576.2, Xun Spirit 517154.5, Kun Spirit 535726.7, Qian Spirit 587182.3, Dui Spirit 556294.7, Li Spirit 516245.4

[Spell: Yin Yang Divine Thunder (Mastery 82%)]

[Tao Seed - Yin Yang Two Forms (Low Grade): Comprehends the principle that Yin and Yang give rise to all things, slightly enhancing one's understanding of the Tao of Yin and Yang.]

Over the years, the stone tortoise has captured some Yin and Yang Daoist rhythms on the planet, and no particularly strange phenomena have occurred during this time, providing another way to obtain Daoist rhythms.

The Yin-Yang Divine Thunder he had just deduced had directly reached the proficiency level, which was actually within his expectations. This spell was entirely the result of his own accumulation of knowledge and experience. He had previously reached the mastery level after deducing the Xuanqi Genglin Technique.

The Five Elements Dao Seed disappeared, replaced by a completely new Yin-Yang Dao Seed.

There's a saying in the Tao Te Ching: "The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, and through the interaction of these two forces, harmony is achieved."

He has now truly progressed from using the power of the Five Elements to comprehending the transformation of Yin and Yang, and the joy in his heart is beyond words.

With the Yin-Yang Dao Seed, the difficulty of creating other Three Flower Realm spells will be reduced in the future.

Ji An took a few deep breaths to calm his excitement, then gave the stone tortoise his command:
"Refine the spiritual energy and enhance the Yin-Yang Divine Thunder."

His consciousness entered the mysterious space of the stone tortoise, and the Tai Chi pattern under his feet kept rotating.

With each repetition of the spell, his spiritual energy was rapidly depleted, but his understanding of the spell grew ever stronger.

When his spiritual inspiration was insufficient to continue practicing the spell, his consciousness returned to his body.

[Spell: Yin Yang Divine Thunder (Mastery 82% → Mastery 56%)]

The increase in spiritual energy consumption suggests that this spell's power far surpasses that of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder. Ji An stroked his chin, pondering whether to continue enhancing the spell's power.

Spiritual inspiration can enhance spells, and so can Daoist essence. In fact, his initial idea was to accumulate more Daoist essence to enhance the Gathering Yuan Tree.

After a moment's thought, Ji An made his choice and issued the order again:

"Refine the Dao essence and enhance the Yin-Yang Divine Thunder."

He made this choice for two main reasons. First, he didn't have much Daoist essence, and it would be a pipe dream to elevate his spiritual root to the fifth level with just that much Daoist essence.

Secondly, once the fourth-tier top-grade ghost mushrooms are cultivated, they can all be burned and used as fertilizer for spirit trees.

These fertilizers are as effective as, or even better than, the ashes of higher-level beings.

[Taoist Rhyme: Yin 56.2, Yang 78.5]

[Spell: Yin Yang Divine Thunder (Mastery 56% → Perfection 100%)]

[Tao Seed - Yin Yang Two Forms (Middle Grade): Comprehends the principle that Yin and Yang give rise to all things, enhances some understanding of the Tao of Yin and Yang, and increases some magical power.]

Ji An couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "The 'purchasing power' of Yin-Yang Daoist Rhyme is so strong!"

Even after elevating a spell from the Three Flowers Realm level to the Great Perfection level, the Daoist essence still remained.

Moreover, the Yin-Yang Dao Seed has been upgraded from low-grade to mid-grade, and its effects have been greatly improved.

Putting aside everything else, the power of his magic has been strengthened once again, so the spiritual fields in the gourd world can accumulate more spiritual energy, and the improvement of the spiritual veins and the growth of spiritual plants can benefit from this.

In addition, the cultivation of the Three Flowers Realm revolves around the understanding of Yin and Yang energies. The next stage of cultivation requires him to create his own techniques, and the difficulty of creating techniques will be reduced now.

Ji An became a bit greedy. If he used all the Daoist essence to improve the Yin-Yang Dao Seed, so that the Dao Seed could be upgraded to the superior level, then the changes brought about by improving the Dao Seed would be greater than improving the spell.

However, he was broad-minded and quickly suppressed his greed. There was nothing to regret. He had made the decision to be more capable in combat and to ensure greater safety when flying through the Starry Sky Road in the future.

Seeing Ji An return to the Calabash World, the Five Sacred Mountains True Lord greeted him with a smile and said:
"Your Majesty, it seems you have achieved your goal. Shall we depart tomorrow or leave now?"

The smile on the other person's face was different from usual; he could sense that it was genuine joy.

"You have a keen eye for observation; you noticed that."

Ji An nodded happily and continued:

"Don't rush to leave. I'll wait a few days before I go. I need to improve my cultivation technique."

With his current knowledge, he noticed several flaws in the cultivation technique, and that improving the technique could increase the speed of refining spiritual energy.

He beckoned Ayun to his side, "Break a pot of fourth-grade top-quality Enlightenment Tea, and light Bodhi Auspicious Incense."

There are thirty-six fourth-tier top-grade Bodhi trees in the small world, and he currently has more than three thousand six hundred Bodhi Ruyi Incense sticks, enough for him to use for a long time.

Ayun smiled and said, "Yes, ma'am."
