Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 13 Life is like a play
It was almost noon.

Ji An wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, licked his lips and walked under the shade of the tree.

It took half a day, and all the magic power in the body was exhausted, but he finally completed the sowing of the spiritual valley.

According to Lao Huang's instructions, use the small cloud and rain technique to make it rain once more at night or early morning, and all the sowing work will be completed.

"Hehe, practice well tonight, and wait until tomorrow morning when the mana in your body is full before you can make it rain."

After returning to the valley, next to the Bishui Lake, the acquisition of Kanling has returned to normal, and tomorrow I can use the third level of the Small Cloud Rain Technique to cast rain.

Before the spiritual grains emerge, with the spiritual energy absorbed by the stone turtle, the other two spells will definitely be upgraded to the minor success level.

There is about a month of free time after sowing, and he needs to plan how to use this time.

You can't practice martial arts during the day, so you can't waste time. It's good to earn a spirit crystal.

He needed to get crystals to buy a Yellow Bud Pill to see how effective the pill was before deciding how to practice.

Because the stone turtle devoured the magic power, his current qualifications should only be equivalent to the lower grade, and probably at the bottom of the lower grade.

If I don’t take the elixir, I don’t know how long it will take to advance to the second level of Qi Refining.

He wanted to advance before the spiritual valley began to produce ears of grain, but it would probably cost a lot of money, so he had to think carefully about what to do next.

No one stipulates that you can only use the crystals you earn yourself to practice cultivation. You can also borrow them to cultivate immortality.

He decided to package himself and create a persona of a magical genius.

Ji An returned to the bamboo building and cleaned the courtyard.

Since he had no crystals, he couldn't even open the magic ban on his bamboo house. And because it was too poor, he was not afraid of anyone coveting him.

Walking into the house, with nothing to do for the time being, he subconsciously picked up the wood carving of the spirit-seeking rat to play with it, thinking about who he could borrow the crystal from.

After waiting until dusk, he left the bamboo house and went to Lao Huang's residence.

Lacking crystals and nothing to offer, he had no choice but to come with his two fists raised.

"Brother Huang."

No one responded.

Ji An raised his voice: "Brother Huang?"

No one answered.

He exhaled, stood in front of the fence gate, and looked into the distance.

The smoke from the cooking stove curled up, and it seemed that life was peaceful, but he knew that most of the disciples in the Qi Refining Stage lived a busy life, counting the grains of rice as they were put into the pot.

The golden and red sunset glow looks like mountains standing in the sky. As the twilight fades, the color of the sunset glow fades into a blue-gray hue, slowly blending into the night sky.

Stars hang low over the plain, and the cold moon is like a hook.

“It’s not easy to practice.”

Ji An sighed sincerely, no matter what kind of world it is, life at the bottom is full of hardships.

The bright moon passed silently over the treetops, and a skinny figure hurried along the path.

"Who is there?"

There was a hint of threat in his tone.

"Brother Huang, it's me, Ji An."

"Xiao An."

Old Huang approached, his tone softening, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Ji An bowed and said with a smile:
"Senior brother is an old veteran. I would like to ask you if there is any method suitable for earning crystal stones at the first level of Qi Refining."

He continued somewhat embarrassedly:

"I should have brought some wine and food to share with my senior brother, but I'm really broke and have no money to spare. I can only wait until better times come before treating my senior brother."

I don’t have any crystals, so I have no choice but to ask.

If you meet a kind-hearted person, he might answer this question, so that he can observe whether he can become a close friend.

"Why are you being so polite? Call me Senior Brother, how can I let you call me that for nothing?"

Old Huang mentioned the fence gate:
"Come in and talk. I went through the same hardships back then."

After entering the bamboo building and lighting the candles, Ji An took a quick look at the furnishings inside. It was almost identical to his own residence, except for a few more jars. He wondered what was inside.

“It’s difficult for a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining to earn spirit stones.

Not to mention the first level of Qi Refining, it is difficult for disciples in the early stage of Qi Refining to survive.

Disciples of this period were not proficient in magic and had little mana. Even if they wanted to go out and fight for their lives, no senior brothers would be willing to take them with them. "

Old Huang said, raising his left hand and showing three fingers:
“When I entered the sect, I was already at the second level of Qi Refining.

It took a year to reach the third level of Qi Refining.

Without the support of crystals, it is impossible to quickly improve your cultivation.

If you just keep wandering around the spiritual field step by step, there is almost no hope of advancing to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

As a last resort, I went out with a few fellow apprentices who shared the same suffering during the slack season to look for some opportunities.

Four people went out and one and a half came back.

Since then, I have stayed in the sect honestly and tried every possible way to earn crystals."

He talked about his past situation in a long and rambling manner, and his words were full of sighs.

"You are only at the first level of Qi Refining now, and there are only two solutions I can think of.

First, try your luck in the forest outside the sect's mountain gate. Maybe you can find some low-level spiritual medicines and herbs, but remember not to go too far.

Second, go to the Bishui Lake market to do odd jobs, but your cultivation level is low, so it will probably be difficult to find work."

The Bishui Market is an internal market established by the sect, and people who come and go are the Qi Refining disciples along the shores of Bishui Lake.

Ji An looked embarrassed and nodded slightly:
"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice."

There was no disappointment in his heart, he knew what was going on.

Those who have reached the first level of Qi Refining and do odd jobs in the Immortal City can earn better than ordinary warriors.

The main purpose of coming here today is not to find a way to make money from crystals.

“Brother, I have completed the sowing of the spiritual valley today and will be preparing to apply rain tomorrow morning.

This is my first time officially casting rain, and I have no experience. I would like to ask my senior brother to come and give me some guidance."

"What instructions are there? Just choose the location where the clouds and mist will form above the spiritual field."

Old Huang was puzzled.

“Hehe, I’m a little nervous, but I can’t delay you for much time.

I've discovered that I have a good understanding of the Five Elements magic, and I feel like my magic is about to reach a higher level."

Is his spell about to reach mastery level? Calculating the time, it should be about time.

However, to be able to achieve such results by practicing magic with the magic power of the first level of Qi Refining can really be considered quite insightful.

Old Huang nodded:
“Okay, I’ll go check it out.

But I have to wait until I come back from the Clear Water Lake to extract the water essence. It will arrive at your spiritual field around 3:30 am."

Ji An bowed:

"Thank you, senior brother."

It works, the other party is willing to watch, this will be his first show in his life.

The first level of Qi Refining, the third level of Small Cloud and Rain Technique, I just want to ask you if you are afraid!
He paused and then said:

"Brother, what is the Water Essence?"

He had heard his father mention something like Water Essence and knew a little about it.

His current personality is that of a newcomer in the world of immortal cultivation, like a pure blank sheet of paper, with the words "shallow knowledge" written all over his face.

"Xiao An, when you have time in the future, you should go to the library in the General Affairs Hall more often. You should understand some basic common sense."

Old Huang, who was even more foolish than I was back then, glanced at the other person and explained:
"Water Essence is one of the Five Elements Essences. It is the Five Elements Vitality extracted from Five Elements objects by cultivators using the Soul Tempering Technique. It has many uses.

Weapon refiners use it to enhance the spiritual power of magical instruments, while alchemists use it to improve the quality of their elixirs.
If you reach the middle stage of Qi Refining, extracting the essence of the five elements will be a good job."
