Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 18 How can two yuan be enough?

Ji An checked the location pointed out by Liu Yu and found that many plants had black spots on their leaves and branches.

He bowed and thanked:
"Thank you, senior brother."

This is a common aphid. As long as it is dealt with in time, it will not affect the harvest.

However, if the aphids are discovered too late and reproduced in large numbers, it will inevitably lead to a reduction in production.

"You're too polite, Junior Brother. Just learning the Sharp Gold Technique will solve the problem."

Liu Yu waved his hand, said goodbye and left.

After the other party walked away, Ji An took out a neatly folded piece of gray cloth from his arms, opened it in his palm, and picked up the straw-yellow paper goose.

Input magic power and the paper goose gradually grows bigger.

He sat astride it, and the talisman bird flew up unsteadily, needing to correct its direction from time to time to fly steadily.

The talisman bird is made of talisman paper as its skin and spiritual bamboo as its bones. Perhaps because it is about to be scrapped, whenever it moves, it will make a "creaking" sound as if it can't bear the weight, and the riding experience is not very good.

Even so, Ji An still smiled happily. This was the first flying talisman he owned.

The second time I rode the Fu Bird, I felt much more relaxed than the first time. Looking at the mountains and trees crawling at my feet, I felt a refreshing feeling, like drinking wine in the wind.

About three hours later, he arrived at his destination - Cuizhu Peak.

This is one of the many mountains under the jurisdiction of the Beast Taming Palace, and Zhao Mengyao is practicing here.

The speed of the Fu Bird was not fast, and Ji An did not dare to drive this old bird, whose life was about to end, too fast. If it fell apart in the air, he would fall to the ground and be smashed into pieces.

There were many disciples traveling back and forth above Cuizhu Peak. He actually saw several of them riding on imperial beasts, which made him envious for a long time.

He looked down at his wobbling talisman bird, and all his happiness suddenly disappeared.

Big dog owner!
Ji An cursed inwardly and landed on the mountainside.

The remaining magic power in the talisman bird was dispersed, and the talisman bird returned to the size of a palm.

He took out a gray cloth, wrapped the talisman, and carefully placed it in his arms. He felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here, which was much richer than that of the spiritual field in Bishui Lake, and felt envious again.

Most of the spiritual fields near the Bishui Lake rely on the spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual veins, and Cuizhu Peak is built on a branch of the spiritual vein.

Remembering that he was here to do serious business, Ji An began to inquire about Zhao Mengyao's whereabouts.

Half an hour later, Ji An met the real owner:
"Senior Sister Zhao has made great progress in her cultivation. This is cause for celebration."

"Junior brother has also made progress, congratulations."

Zhao Mengyao was suspicious and didn't know why this junior brother wanted to see her.

Ji An didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"I came here this time to borrow some spirit stones from Senior Sister for urgent use."

Do you think this is a charity? You're asking for spiritual stones!
Zhao Mengyao, who had been cheated out of three spirit stones, could no longer maintain her composure. She frowned and looked at Ji An with sharp eyes.

Ji An didn't wait for her to speak and immediately stated his bargaining chip:
“Junior brother, I was assigned to plant spiritual grains at the Bishui Lake, and I discovered that I have a great understanding of planting magic.

After a month of diligent study and practice, he was lucky enough to have mastered the Small Cloud and Rain Technique and the Withering and Flourishing Technique.

I don’t know if Senior Sister knows that spiritual farming disciples do not have to pay land rent or hand over contribution points to the sect in the first year.

If I can seize this opportunity, I will be able to save some money. After a year, I will be able to return some of the spirit stones to my senior sister."

This statement has two meanings. The first is to show off his magical genius. The second is to promise to return some spirit stones when the time comes.

Lending spirit stones now is a real favor, and if you want to make friends in the future, it will take more than just a few spirit stones.

Sure enough, Zhao Mengyao's expression instantly turned from gloomy to bright.

“Junior brother, you have such a strong understanding of magic, which is really enviable.

I've also learned the Minor Cloud Rain Technique, and I'm still at the mastery level after a month. My senior sisters say it takes the average person at least half a year to reach the minor success level. "Senior sister, are you also learning the Minor Cloud Rain Technique?"

Isn't the Beast Taming Hall responsible for taming spirit beasts? Ji An was puzzled.

As if seeing his confusion, Zhao Mengyao explained:
“Some spiritual beasts need fresh spiritual herbs to feed them, and there are grasslands and medicinal fields on Cuizhu Peak.

Small Cloud Rain Technique is also a required spell, but it is not a major skill."

She paused, smiling brightly:
“Junior brother, I need to take care of an acre of purple-leaved grass, and today is the time to apply rain again.

How about you, Junior Brother, help me with the rain first?"

"No problem, please lead the way, Senior Sister."

Steady!

Ji An knew that after passing this small test, he would be able to borrow spirit stones.

How much you can borrow depends on how well-off this junior sister who is younger than you is.

Zhao Mengyao led the way and the two came to a spiritual field.

Purple grass looks like alfalfa and has purple leaves.

Ji An took the lead and cast two small cloud and rain spells to cover the entire spiritual field.

This guy really had an epiphany! Understanding the Cangshui meridian method is not a flash in the pan. If he has good character, he is worth associating with in the future.

Watching the spiritual rain falling, the scrutiny in Zhao Mengyao's eyes turned into admiration:
"Junior brother has such a talent for understanding, he will definitely have a place in the sect one day.

How many spirit stones do you want to borrow?"

The ball was kicked back and Ji An began to think.

If you ask for too much, regardless of whether you can borrow it or not, it will definitely give the other party the impression that you are greedy.

He held up two fingers:
"Senior Sister, two spirit stones are enough.

I want to exchange the jade slips of the third level of Small Cloud and Rain Technique and Withering and Flourishing Technique from the sect, which requires twenty contribution points, which will cost one spirit stone.

In addition, I want to buy some elixirs to quickly improve my practice.

The higher your cultivation level, the more spiritual fields you can plant and the greater the harvest you can obtain."

"Two are not enough. I will lend you three spirit stones."

Zhao Mengyao took out three spirit stones and handed them to Ji An, then said:
"Junior Brother Ji, you can also consider breeding and selling Spirit-Seeking Rats in the future. The elders of the family once said that the Spirit-Seeking Rats bred by Uncle Ji are the most spiritual he has ever seen, even more spiritual than those bred by some Foundation Establishment cultivators."

If I had a method to tame beasts, I would have copied a hundred copies and sold them. Why would I have to borrow money from everywhere?

My father insisted on waiting until I reached the Qi Refining stage before teaching me. This was a major mistake.

Ji An smiled bitterly and said:
"To cultivate a high-quality spirit-seeking rat, it requires a lot of materials. I need to wait until I have enough crystals to bear the risk before trying this."

Zhao Mengyao nodded slightly. It was indeed very expensive to train a sufficiently good beastmaster. The other party was very clear-headed.

In her heart, she looked at Ji An with a higher opinion.

After Ji An thanked him and took the spirit stone, the two of them talked about their experiences after entering the sect.
Because Zhao Mengyao had something to do in the afternoon, the two separated.

Ji An left Cuizhu Peak and flew to Chitong Mountain to find Zhang Yuanshan and Chu He.

With his eloquence, he borrowed two spirit stones from each of them.

After coming out of the Red Copper Mountain, he flew to the General Affairs Hall without stopping and exchanged the third-level spells of the Small Cloud and Rain Spell, as well as the spells of the Sharp Gold Spell and the Flame Curse.

At this point, all five planting spells have been learned!
