I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 141 Fire Vein Spirit Plant, Cloud-Light Robe
Ying Chan drank a cup of tea in the weapon-making room and chatted with Yang Yan for about half an hour, exchanging some insights on weapon crafting.

Soon, the sun reached its zenith.

Ying Chan still had a lot of homework to do, so he got up and prepared to leave.

However, Yang Yan said, "Brother Ying, please wait a moment."

He returned to the second floor, retrieved a brocade pouch, and handed it to Ying Chan.

"These are the spiritual materials and precious materials that Brother Ying requested. Except for Tai Chen Star Gold, which is extremely rare, all the others have been gathered."

Yang Yan said, "Take a look at it."

Ying Chan was slightly pleased upon hearing this.

Yang Yan was different from him. He had been cultivating for thirty years and had been refining weapons for many years. He also ran a weapon-making shop in Yunqu, so he naturally had some channels to procure the weapons he needed.

Therefore, Ying Chan entrusted Yang Yan to procure spiritual materials and precious materials for him.

He didn't stand on ceremony with Yang Yan. He quickly scanned the brocade pouch and found that it was complete in variety and of equal quality.

"Brother Dao, this has solved my urgent problem."

Ying Chan accepted the brocade pouch directly and was about to take out the magic money to return to Yang Yan.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yan pressed his hand down, saying, "Brother Ying, please wait."

He should explain, but his eyes showed no understanding.

Purchasing a large quantity of precious materials requires a considerable amount of magical money, and even if the two have a deep friendship, there is no reason not to accept it.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time he had entrusted Yang Yan with purchasing supplies. Yang Yan had never been polite to him before, so what was the reason for this today?
Yang Yan didn't keep them in suspense and quickly said, "I have a favor to ask of Brother Ying. If Brother Ying agrees, this money will be considered my reward."

"Oh?"

Ying Chan smiled and said, "Tell me, if it's too difficult, I can't agree."

Yang Yan laughed and said, "Then I'll speak frankly."

"Several years ago, I discovered a Fire Vein Spirit Plant in a volcano south of Wanzhong Mountain."

"Leaving aside how precious this spiritual plant is, the most important thing is that it has the function of harmonizing fire evil."

Ying Chan's heart stirred.

In other words, this spirit plant is a treasure that can help Xuan Guang cultivators refine fire evil.

As far as he knew, Yang Yan cultivated the Fire Element Dao, and this spiritual plant was clearly exactly what he needed.

"Judging by the time, the Fire Vein Spirit Plant should be nearly mature. I would like to ask Brother Ying to collect the spirit plant on my behalf."

Yang Yan said, "Well, for Brother Ying, this should be a trivial matter."

"Should I collect the spirit plant on your behalf?" Ying Chan asked curiously. "I thought Brother Yang wanted me to accompany you."

"I also want to do it myself."

Yang Yan smiled wryly and said, "Unfortunately, my master will soon be refining a perfect magic weapon and has personally appointed me as his assistant."

Ying Chan raised an eyebrow.

Yang Yan's master was an elder of Tianlu Mountain. He was not only a grandmaster of weapon crafting, but also a master and a giant.

Why would someone like Yang Yan need help crafting magical artifacts? Rather than appointing Yang Yan as an assistant, it would be more accurate to say that Yang Yan was personally instructed.

"Brother Ying also knows how fortunate it is to be able to participate in the refining of a perfect magic weapon. This is also an opportunity given to me by my master. How could I, a mere spiritual plant, refuse my master's offer?"

Yang Yan continued, "Therefore, I can only entrust this matter to a trustworthy person."

"I see……"

Ying Chan quickly changed his mind and replied with a smile, "Since you regard me as a trustworthy person, I cannot let you down." "I agree to this matter."

Yang Yan was overjoyed upon hearing this: "I know Brother Ying's magic is superb, he will surely capture it with ease."

As he spoke, he took out a map and told Ying Chan where the volcano was located.

Ying Chan took a closer look and realized that the volcano was close to the coast of the South China Sea, which stirred something within him.

Since he began his spiritual practice, he has often heard that the South China Sea is vast and contains countless stars. He wonders if he could appreciate even a fraction of it if he saw it with his own eyes.
Ying Chan secretly decided that he might as well take advantage of this trip to see the scenery of the South China Sea. He took the map and said with a smile, "Brother Dao, rest assured, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Yang Yan didn't waste any words and respectfully cupped his hands in thanks.

After that, Ying Chan did not stay at Qizhai for long.

After leaving Yunqu, he did not go anywhere else, but instead fled straight back to Zhaoguang Mountain.

Back at Hanxu Dojo, Ying Chan took out the brocade pouch, checked the precious materials inside, and then put them all into the 'ware room'.

He set up this equipment room two years ago, and it has now become one of his most frequented places, second only to his study and quiet room.

After arranging the precious materials, Ying Chan practiced his external martial arts for another half an hour.

Recently, there was no residual thunderous essence in his body, so he did not need to use stance training to move and circulate his qi and blood. Therefore, he practiced the Qian Yuan Foundation Building Technique.

After completing the exercise, feeling the vitality emanating from his body, Ying Chan smiled slightly.

This Qian Yuan Foundation Building Technique is truly miraculous.

Ying Chan has cultivated for so long that he can even improve his physique through this technique; it is truly miraculous.

After practicing external martial arts, it's time to contemplate Taoist scriptures. After that, one might delve into weapon crafting or practice spells until nightfall, then return to the quiet room to absorb spiritual energy, increase magical power, and condense profound light...

This lesson should be learned day after day, with no moment without progress, and therefore, there is no moment without enjoyment in it.

Until the auspicious purple clouds arrive from the east.

Normally, Ying Chan should go to Xuancheng Mountain to listen to lectures at this time. If there are no lectures that day, he can rest for a while.

However, he had just promised Yang Yan yesterday that he would go and retrieve the spirit plant for him, so he naturally couldn't go back on his word.

Ying Chan took off his usual Taoist robe and put on a ceremonial robe.

This robe was made by Yang Yan. On the day he first visited Yang Yan's artifact shop, he took a liking to this robe at first sight and spent a lot of money to acquire it.

The robe is called "Cloud Light," and it is a water-like robe with silk ribbons and flowing sleeves. When worn, it gives one the air of a celestial being.

I heard that this garment was specially made by Yang Yan, who originally intended it for his own use, but in the end it benefited Ying Chan.

Of course, most importantly, the Cloud Light Robe has twenty-one layers of restrictions, making it a truly high-grade magic weapon that can ward off water, fire, and turbid energy, and protect the Dao body.

Changing into the cloud-patterned robe completes the preparations for the trip.

Ying Chan opened the door to the meditation room and stepped out. He activated the restrictions on the Daoist temple and was about to escape when, before he could take flight, a rainbow light descended from the clouds. In a flash, it landed on the Hanxu Daoist temple from the heavens above.

Ying Chan raised his eyebrows slightly and happily called out, "Fairy."

The rainbow light shifted, revealing a tiny body—wasn't that the colorful sparrow?
"Taoist priest!" Cai Que'er tilted her head and asked, "Where are you going?" when she saw Ying Chan's attire.

"I am about to leave the mountains and head south towards those myriad mountains. I may also reach the coast of the South China Sea to see the scenery of the vast ocean."

Ying Chan's thoughts shifted, and he asked, "Would the fairy like to travel with me?"

"I want to go, I want to go."

Cai Que'er's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "The South China Sea! I've never seen what it looks like before!"

"Miss Bai did tell me some things, and also, the old dragon of Immortal Garden Mountain said that no matter how big the lake is, it can't compare to the vast ocean. It's far less comfortable in the great lake of Immortal Garden Mountain than it was in the sea back then..."
