Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 29: Old Huang promises, investors increase investment

The morning light shines through the gaps between the branches of the big trees, casting a golden spot on the ground.

Ji An finished his early morning practice and walked out of the courtyard carrying two bags of spiritual rice.

Just as he was about to take out the talisman bird, he heard an enthusiastic shout:

"Where are you going, Junior Brother Ji?"

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slightly plump figure riding a talisman bird flying towards him.

Putting the bag at his feet, Ji An bowed and said:

"Senior Brother Wei!"

The person who came was Wei Songnian. After the bird landed, he nimbly lifted his legs and came down:

"I happened to have nothing to do today, so I asked my junior brother to come over for a drink.

How much is the harvest in Linggu?"

“Thanks to the two mu of spiritual fields, we harvested 580 kilograms of yellow sprout rice.

I'm planning to sell some of them and exchange them for some spirit stones to buy some elixirs from my senior brother."

Wei Songnian was stunned for a moment, then looked at the full cloth bag at the feet of the person opposite him and said with a smile:

"Junior brother is amazing."

He also knows about planting. Planting yellow sprout rice in two acres of spiritual fields is the highest yield. The other party must have practiced a certain spell to perfection during the spiritual grain ear-forming period.

Taking a step forward, Wei Songnian picked up a bag of spiritual rice:
"Junior brother, the spiritual rice will be sold tomorrow. I'll go call Lao Huang, and we brothers can have a good drink.

I have already bought some spiritual food and wine, please come and have some."

"I should have paid for it, how can I let you spend the money?"

"Hey, when Junior Brother breaks through to the middle stage of Qi Refining, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Wei Songnian talked and laughed as he carried the spiritual rice to the door of the bamboo building.

Ji An had no choice but to use some magic formula to break the ban.

Wei Songnian pushed open the door and saw a bag of magical rice in the house, and nodded slightly.

Well, the output of 580 kilograms is roughly correct.

Putting down the cloth bag, Wei Songnian said:

"Hurry up, Old Huang should have just returned from Bishui Lake at this time. He won't stay long. Let's go wait at his doorstep."

The two hurried out and arrived at the door of Old Huang's house.

Sure enough, not long after, I saw Lao Huang coming back humming a little tune.

The three of them moved out tables and chairs, and Wei Songnian took out three bottles of spiritual wine and cooked spiritual food from his storage bag.

Although it felt a bit strange to drink so early in the morning, Ji An still sat down obediently.

After three rounds of drinks, Old Huang sighed and said:
"I wonder if my grandson Feihu can pass the Illusionary Heart Formation on his own next year. If not, I'll have to spend money on him."

Wei Songnian said "hmm" and smiled:

"You worked so hard to save crystals, wasn't it just for that day?

Being able to join a sect is certainly much more promising than being a casual cultivator.

Hey, no matter what, your grandson's starting point is much higher than yours back then, so he has great potential to build his foundation."

Old Huang's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile:
"Thank you for your kind words, Senior Brother.

However, I had to leave the sect in the second year after Feihu entered it, so I hope my senior brothers and junior brothers will take good care of me in the future."

Wei Songnian patted his chest and said:
"Old Huang, we've been friends for almost twenty years, right? Don't worry, I'll do my best and I won't refuse!"

"me too."

Ji An smiled and said that he had borrowed the first spirit stone from Lao Huang, so he had to give him a little face.

"Okay, I feel relieved with what you two said."

Ji An asked:

"Brother, may I ask, if I cannot wake up on time from the Illusionary Heart Formation, how long will it take to enter the sect?"

Wei Songnian stretched out his hand and slapped it: "Fifty spirit stones is actually a backdoor left for the children of those big families.

It may seem expensive, but it's not too much for those people.

It’s not a big deal if a teenager’s character isn’t strong enough; there’s plenty of time to cultivate it.”

Old Huang took a deep breath and said:
"By then, Junior Brother Ji will be in charge of the spiritual farm numbered Guiwei. I want Feihu to continue being a spiritual farmer." Wei Songnian pondered.

"To be honest, unless you are someone like Junior Brother Ji, the upper limit of spiritual farming is not high. It is better to work hard and learn a more promising craft."

Old Huang took a sip of his wine and let out a long sigh:

"I know all this, but by learning spiritual farming, at least I can help out.

If you want to learn refining equipment, taming beasts, making talismans, it's okay if you have talent, otherwise you don't know how many crystals you will have to spend to make a name for yourself.

The wealth I have accumulated cannot withstand any hardship. Lingnong works harder, but at least I have a guaranteed income.

Even if Feihu's cultivation is not going well like mine, he can still save more than me, so that his descendants will have a better starting point."

"As an old saying goes, I haven't thought it through completely."

Wei Songnian nodded. If a person does not have a big support, the initial accumulation is the most difficult.

Old Huang turned around and said:
"When Feihu enters the sect, I will give my first-level spiritual field to Xiao Ange to cultivate!"

"Brother, you can't do that."

Old Huang waved his hand:

"Brother Xiao An, don't refuse. This spiritual field in the valley is far away from the spiritual veins. If you don't frequently use the fourth level of the Thick Earth Technique to warm the earth veins, it will degenerate in a few years.

It's a waste in the hands of the Flying Tigers."

He turned to Wei Songnian again, bowed and said:
"Brother, if I leave the sect, I won't have a good place to go. Can I rent some spiritual fields from the Wei family to plant crops?"

"I can't ask for it."

Wei Songnian agreed immediately. Old Huang was a pretty good spiritual farmer among the disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, much better than most of the spiritual farmers in the family.

You can consider renting a first-grade, low-quality spiritual field to the other party, and nurture it with the Great Accomplishment Thick Earth Technique. Maybe you can cultivate the spiritual field to a first-grade, mid-quality one.

After the wine and food were gone, the three of them chatted for a while and then dispersed.

Wei Songnian pulled Ji An aside and took out three jade bottles:

"Junior brother, please keep these bottles of Huangya Dan first."

Are the investors increasing their stakes?

Ji An didn't reach out to take it, and said:

"Brother, I don't have the crystals to pay the bill."

"Hehe," Wei Songnian said with a smile:

“Junior brother, you understand what I mean. I am optimistic about your future and want to make friends with you in advance.

I'm giving it to you on credit. Please return it to me after you pass the three-year assessment for new disciples."

"I will always remember your friendship, senior brother," Ji An bowed slightly and reached out to take the pill.

This means that he can pay it back in two and a half years, which gives him plenty of time.

Now that everything was said and done, the two of them seemed closer.

Wei Songnian raised his hand to cover his forehead and looked at the sun, saying:
"It's almost noon, I should leave now. I have to set up my stall at the Bishui Market."

He put down his hand and continued:

"When you are ready to break through the bottleneck, remember to come find me. I will prepare two Jade Pills for you."

Ji An did not refuse any more and bowed and said:

"Thank you, senior brother."

After seeing Wei Songnian off, Ji An turned around and returned to the bamboo building, and immediately sat on the cushion to refine the spiritual food and wine.

After he refined all the spiritual power in the food, his skills improved further.

He took out the pills given by Senior Brother Wei, opened them one by one and counted them. There were 12 pills in total in three bottles.

Making a mental note of the debt, Ji An picked up a bag of spiritual rice and walked out.

He has no shortage of elixirs now, so he plans to go to the General Affairs Hall to exchange contribution points for jade slips for making talisman paper and mixing talisman ink.

He planned to reclaim another acre of spiritual land and plant half an acre of talisman grass.

In this way, his mana can be maximized.

In addition, he heard that mixing talisman ink consumes less mana, so he could try to purchase some materials to mix the talisman ink.

He was still too short of crystals, and he didn't know when he would be able to enjoy the privilege of practicing with the Soul Capture Array.
