Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 27 Let's see three years later

The song ends and everyone disperses.

At the bottom of Baiwei Tower, Zhang Yuanshan saw everyone off and sighed leisurely:
“I don’t know how many people will be there when we get together again.”

Among the disciples of Qingsong Taoist Academy, he and Zhao Mengyao have top-grade qualifications, and the rest are of middle-grade qualifications.

But in just half a year, there was already a clear gap in their cultivation.

His cultivation level was the highest, reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining. Seven others were at the fourth level, and the rest were at the third level.

As time goes by, the gap will become bigger and bigger, and many people will gradually fall behind.

If we get together again, maybe we won’t be able to gather so many people.

Chu He shouted, "Brother, you're worrying too much. Only those who can still be together after so many years are true fellow Taoists."

Zhang Yuanshan laughed:
"Junior brother, you see things clearly."

He turned around, took out the talisman bird and held it in his palm:
"Junior Brother Ji, I bought a few bottles of spirit wine when I was checking out just now. Shall we set off now?"

Ji An's face froze slightly: "Uh, Brother, I don't have a talisman bird for transportation.

I used all the spirit stones I borrowed to cultivate and practice magic."

"I have an old paper crane in my hand. It's estimated to only be usable for thirty or forty hours. If you don't mind, you can use it."

Zhao Mengyao took out a talisman bird and handed it to Ji An. Ji An took it.

"Thank you, senior sister."

It would be a waste if I refused it. Besides, I can’t let the guests fly over and wait for me first!

The quality of the Fu bird is better than the one Wei Songnian gave, and it has a faint fragrance.

Inputting spiritual power, a slender crane appeared before his eyes, and he sat on it.

Well, it’s not as comfortable as a big paper goose.

The four of them boarded the Talisman Bird, crossed the Green Water Lake, and headed east with their backs to the sun.

"The land in Junior Brother's yard is not wasted at all."

Zhao Mengyao pointed to the yard inside the fence full of lush fruits and vegetables, smiling.

“The waste is shameful.

If you don’t have the conditions to enjoy spiritual fruits and vegetables, just grow some ordinary vegetables yourself.

Water them with the Small Cloud and Rain Technique, and nourish the earth's energy with the Thick Soil Technique. These vegetables contain much more spiritual energy than wild vegetables."

"Brother, sister, please!"

Ji An pushed open the gate, led the way at the front door, secretly performed some magic spells, and opened the magic barrier of the bamboo building.

As everyone walked into the small building, they immediately smelled the faint fragrance of yellow rice.

Chu He saw three bags of spiritual rice leaning against the wall, and walked forward with a smile and said:
"I was born with supernatural powers. My family once wanted me to practice physical training, so you can see how strong I am."

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and grabbed a cloth bag with one hand, easily picking it up. Then he stretched out his arms and kept them horizontally raised, with a relaxed look on his face, as if the two cloth bags were filled with only foam.

"Brother, you really have divine power, haha," Ji An said with a smile:
"Please sit down, all of you. I'll steam some delicious rice and prepare some light vegetables."

I had a greasy meal at Baiweilou at noon, so I had to eat something light.

He found a wooden basin and filled it half with yellow rice. He walked out of the room and went to the kitchen next door to start working.

Chu He put the cloth bag down, weighed the other one, nodded at Zhang Yuanshan, and said in a low voice:
"Even if the weight isn't 580 kilograms, it's not far off."

Zhao Mengyao said softly:
"Before leaving, I asked Junior Brother Ji to cast a spell, and I was able to see his level of magic."

Zhang Yuanshan pondered and said:

"Don't be so hasty to speak. Junior Brother Ji is a smart man. I think he will take the initiative to cast a spell for us to watch."

The other party invited them to come with the intention of proving themselves.

Chu He said, "What about the beast taming technique?" "If his technique has reached the Grand Perfection level, then don't mention it anymore."

If one can master the magic within half a year, his understanding of the magic must be worthy of recognition.

Chu He nodded slightly and kicked the chair:

"This guy, there's only one chair, how are we supposed to sit?"

Ji An steamed the rice, prepared the vegetables, ran to Old Huang's house to borrow three chairs, and moved the table out of the bamboo house.

The room is small, and it becomes even more cramped when four people sit in it.

The four of them sat down under the shade of a tree outside the courtyard, and while drinking some spiritual wine, each began to talk about his or her own experience in spiritual practice.

Time passed through the leaves, lengthening the shadow of the tree, and the fragrance of yellow rice drifted over.

Ji An smiled and said, "Brothers, try the spiritual rice I planted."

He brought the rice bowl and served everyone a bowl.

Zhao Mengyao picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, blew on it, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it. She then picked up a few slices of cucumber and ate them.

"It tastes better than the spiritual rice I usually eat. Well, the spiritual power of vegetables is not as good as that of spiritual vegetables, but the spiritual power contained in them is about a quarter of that of spiritual vegetables."

The meal was simple, just a bowl of pure rice and a few cold dishes. Even though several people were chatting while eating, they finished it quickly.

Ji An stood up and walked to the gate of the fence, smiling and said:
"Now, I cast spells on these fruits and vegetables every day.

The Great Thick Soil Art has the ability to nourish the land. Given time, this piece of land will surely be cultivated into a first-level spiritual field."

The seals in his hands changed, and the ochre-colored spiritual light penetrated into the ground.

Then, the seal in his hand changed again, and clouds and mist quickly took shape, covering the sky above the courtyard.

Pearl-like raindrops fell down, a light mist spread, and the bamboo building fell into the hazy mist and rain, making it difficult to see clearly.

Zhao Mengyao took a few steps forward and came to his side:

"Hey, Junior Brother, the range of the fully-developed Small Cloud Rain Technique is larger than this, right?"

"Yes, if I cast the spell with all my strength, the range of the Small Cloud Rain Spell can cover an acre of spiritual farmland. I controlled the range of the spell to save mana, so the spiritual power contained in the spiritual rain will actually be a little more."

Zhao Mengyao turned around and said, "My Little Cloud and Rain Technique has also reached a minor level of success. Judging from the concentration of spiritual energy I feel, it is far inferior to my junior brother's magic.

Junior brother must be the first among our group of disciples to achieve the great success level of magic.

In addition, Junior Brother can precisely control the range of the spells, and his spiritual awareness is certainly stronger than most of his peers.

It makes people really envious.”

Ji An's eyes were full of spirit, and he said with a slightly arrogant smile:
“When the land in the courtyard is cultivated into a first-level spiritual field, I will buy some spiritual peaches and apricots and plant them.

Hey, when I advance to the foundation-building stage, I’ll have spiritual fruits to enjoy directly.”

Zhang Yuanshan stood up and praised:
"Junior brother, you have great ambition!

I'm still thinking about how to advance to the late stage of Qi Refining, but my junior brother has set his sights on such a long-term goal that I can't catch up."

Did he want to build a foundation? Of course he did, but he didn't dare to express his thoughts so bluntly.

After this junior fellow disciple opened his immortal veins, he not only suddenly realized the divine meaning of the magic formula, but also seemed to have comprehended much more.

Chu He said indifferently:
"Building a foundation is not that easy."

It is said that there are more than 10,000 Qi Refining disciples left in the sect, and less than 1,000 people in the Foundation Establishment stage, and this number has remained for hundreds of years without any significant increase.

If building a foundation is so easy, the number of foundation-building cultivators should be gradually increasing.

Ji An didn't look at Chu He, his eyes extended to take in the setting sun and the flying geese in the sky.

"Just wait and see how I perfect the Small Cloud and Rain Technique during my three-year assessment."
