Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 21 Mu Yuanzhu

Ji An took out a futon from the room and asked Lao Huang to sit on the chair. It was not a good way to treat guests while standing and talking.

"Brother, please take a seat. This place is a bit shabby, and we don't have anything to serve you. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Old Huang sat calmly on the chair:
"Junior brother, you are being too formal. For those of us who practice cultivation, we keep things simple."

Ji An sat on the futon and said:

"Brother, I want to plant a few fruit trees in the yard so that I can serve fruit to guests in the future. Where can I buy spiritual peach and spiritual apricot seeds?"

Old Huang shook his head:

"Little Ange, our land is not of good quality at all. It's very difficult to grow spiritual fruit trees there.

You need at least a piece of first-grade spiritual farm to grow these."

"If I improve my Small Cloud and Rain Technique and Thick Earth Technique to the Great Perfection level in the future, will it be feasible?"

Ji An did not give up. For a long time to come, planting would be his main means of earning crystals, so of course he had to arrange for spiritual fruit trees in advance.

If a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage can establish a foundation, he can choose a mountain with a first-level spiritual vein node as his cave residence, and he can also own 20 acres of spiritual farmland without paying taxes.

It takes at least ten years for a spiritual fruit tree to enter its fruiting period. The older the spiritual tree, the better the quality of the spiritual fruit it produces.

Prepare it now, and you can use it after you build your foundation, so that welcoming and seeing off guests won’t seem so shabby.

“No way.

I once heard from a senior brother who worked in the medicine garden that his Small Cloud and Rain Technique, Thick Soil Technique and Withering and Flourishing Technique had all reached the great success level, and he planted a magical peach tree in his own yard.

The tree is alive, but it's wilted. It hasn't grown much in ten years. Its trunk is at most as thick as a young child's arm."

Ji An nodded thoughtfully. He felt that the spell must be lacking some necessary trace elements, so it could not meet the nutritional needs of Lingtao.

"Brother, how many years did it take you to cultivate that first-level spiritual field?"

"Let me think about it. Hmm, about seven or eight years."

Seven or eight years is a bit too long. I wonder if the Thick Earth Art in the perfect state can be accelerated, and if so, how much?
Ji An still wants to cultivate a small piece of land to plant spiritual fruit trees, and his Thick Soil Technique will definitely not stop at perfection, perfection is his pursuit.

The more you prepare now, the smoother your journey will be later.

"Xiao Ange, I think instead of thinking about the spiritual fruit trees now, you should plant more spiritual grains and reap the benefits of the first year first.

Improving your cultivation and raising your magic skills are the most important things."

"Brother, what you said is absolutely right. I'll take note of it."

Seeing his sincere tone, Old Huang nodded in satisfaction and stood up:
"Brother, please get busy. I need to go to the General Affairs Hall to pay this quarter's land rent.

If Xiao Ange needs spirit stones, just ask."

"Ji An would like to thank my senior brother here."

Ji An knew that this meant that Old Huang was going to make additional investments, but he had no shortage of spirit stones at the moment, so he would wait and see.

"Brother, I have another question. How many contribution points are needed to learn the fourth level of the planting spell?"

"You want to exchange for the fourth level of magic?!
"You... haven't you had a few more epiphanies?"

Lao Huang was no longer calm. Only sudden enlightenment could greatly speed up the process of understanding magic.

"Seems to be."

Ji An scratched his head. Performing in the stone turtle space was no different from sudden enlightenment in the eyes of others. There was nothing wrong with the theory of sudden enlightenment!
Old Huang's tone quickened: "Have you already comprehended the Great Perfection Technique? Which one?"

"Not yet. I feel like the Little Cloud and Rain Technique is almost here."

Did it feel like it was fast? Turns out it was just an illusion.

Old Huang inexplicably felt better and said:

“No matter what fourth-level technique you learn, you must pass the sect’s assessment before you can learn it.

When I learned the fourth level of the Small Cloud Rain Technique, I spent 500 contribution points, and when I learned the fourth level of the Thick Earth Technique, I spent 600 contribution points."

"so much?"

Ji An grinned. With so many contribution points, it wouldn't be worth selling him. "Junior brother, listen to me."

Old Huang laughed. He recalled the scene when he went to the General Affairs Hall to exchange spells and was also stunned.

“The sect doesn’t collect contribution points all at once, but rather signs an agreement with us. I signed a ten-year agreement to repay it gradually, and I will pay it off in full next year.

This applies to all fourth-level production spells."

“That’s a good idea!”

Ji An praised, "Get on the bus first and buy the ticket later. The sect has a long-term vision!"

The next day.

The morning light dispelled the mist in the valley, and Ji An ended his training.

He walked into the kitchen, smelling the faint fragrance, and when he opened the pot, the aroma immediately became much stronger.

After happily finishing the yellow rice and licking the bowl clean, he sat cross-legged on the cushion to refine his magic power.

It only takes half a quarter of an hour to refine a meal of the most ordinary spiritual rice, which is equivalent to an hour's worth of refining without taking the elixir.

He now only spends three hours practicing a day.

With Linggu's help, the day when he advances to the third level of Qi Refining will be brought forward again, and the magic power in his body will be enough to release the fourth level of Small Cloud Rain Technique.

When he finished his training, he found that the branch of the immortal vein had become a little longer, and he felt even happier.

He kept Elder Qin Yan's teachings in mind.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; a river is formed by the accumulation of small streams. Every effort you make today will increase your chances of riding the wind and waves in the future.

After the spiritual grain is harvested, the spiritual farmers usually rest for a day or two before starting the next round of production.

Ji An didn't have any rest, he didn't deserve it, practicing magic was his way of relaxation.

He has not practiced the Fire Curse since he started learning it.

The stone turtle did not absorb the inspiration of the Li Gua, so it could only practice more on its own.

Next season, he plans to plant two acres of spiritual fields and must improve the Fire Spell as soon as possible.

He took out the jade slip and placed it on his forehead, then walked towards the spiritual field.

When he arrived at the spiritual field, he calmly cast a spell, and the fire spiritual energy spread to the ground. The spiritual straw was ignited, and a faint white smoke rose up.

Ji An has now learned a total of five spells, and he found that even between different spells, there are some similarities.

In addition, he had mastered the most difficult Sharp Gold Technique, and his progress in the Flame Curse was quite fast.

There are standard answers to spell practice. Casting spells casually will not increase your understanding. You must conform to a certain mysterious rhythm to gain understanding.

This reflects the strength of the stone turtle. Every bit of inspiration can actually improve one's understanding.

When half of his magic power was consumed, Ji An walked to the nearby forest and found a lush tree.

This is just an ordinary elm tree, but because it grows in the sect, it receives more spiritual nourishment and is as thick as an adult can hug.

The seals in his hands changed, and his left hand was like an elegant dancer, his movements agile and smooth.

Strands of light green wood-element spiritual energy flew out from the tree, gathered in the palm of his hand, and soon gathered into a vortex of spiritual energy.

The wood element spiritual energy gathered more and more, and soon, a light green wood bead appeared in the palm of his hand.

Yellow leaves swirled and fell before his eyes. Ji An looked up and saw that the originally lush tree now had half of its leaves withered and yellow.

The Art of Withering and Flourishing robs plants of their vitality and is extremely overbearing. It is like a disaster for the victims.

Ji An marked the tree and said that no one could pluck the wool from it for a period of time.

He took out the jade bottle that was originally used to store elixirs and poured the wooden beads into it.

I shook it casually and it made a jingling sound. This was the money accumulated in recent times.

Since the wooden beads are not needed in the spiritual field now, he plans to exchange them for some contribution points next time he goes to the General Affairs Hall.
