Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 30 Goodbye Liu Yu
The General Affairs Hall is extremely lively today, with crowds of people. A large number of spiritual farmers bring in the spiritual grains they harvested to repay the sect's land rent.

The crowd formed several long columns, and the venue was filled with the fragrance of spiritual rice.

The team did not move forward very fast. After waiting for about an hour, it was finally Ji An's turn.

"196 kilograms of spiritual grain. Hmm. The quality is pretty good. I'll count it as 200 kilograms of spiritual grain for you, and you'll get 40 contribution points."

Ji An frowned slightly when he heard the words of the monk in charge of weighing.

When he came, he clearly weighed 200 kilograms of yellow sprout rice, and at the end he scooped in two more handfuls, so there were a few kilograms less here.

"Brother, this doesn't match what I weighed."

The monk narrowed his eyes and said with a forced smile:

"Junior brother, are you new here? I think there's something wrong with your scale.

Ask the brothers behind you how the scale used to weigh the spiritual rice in the General Affairs Hall could be wrong!

The one at the back, tell me, is there something wrong with the scale here?"

Behind Ji An was a monk who was as old as Lao Huang.

"Of course the scale in the General Affairs Hall can't be wrong," the old man said with a smile, and winked at Ji An in a subtle way.

Ji An pursed his lips and handed over the jade token in his hand:

“My scale must be wrong.

Please, Senior Brother, I will exchange the contribution points I received for three mu of Spiritual Valley seeds and one mu of primary Talisman Grass seeds."

The people in the General Affairs Hall must know that there is something wrong with the scales here. They also know that these spiritual farmers know that there is something wrong with their scales, but they still do it so blatantly. There must be a gray interest chain behind it.

I am just a small cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, and I can’t afford to offend him now.

He didn't want to ask Li Changfeng for help either. It was such a small matter that was not worth owing anyone a favor.

Besides, now in public, Li Changfeng will definitely stand on the side of the General Affairs Hall.

The monk took the jade token, swiped it on the spirit plate, curled his lips and said:

“He’s really a new disciple.

200 jin of spiritual grain can be exchanged for 40 contribution points, three mu of spiritual grain seeds can be exchanged for 12 contribution points, and one mu of talisman grass seeds can be exchanged for 4 contribution points.

Your jade token originally had no contribution points, and now has 24 contribution points left."

Ji An took the jade token and left, heading towards the library.

Today, the disciple on duty in the General Affairs Hall was busy collecting rent from the fields and had no time to exchange the jade slip for him.

Arriving at the library, I exchanged the jade slips for making talisman paper and ink, which cost 20 contribution points.

Ji An was not in a hurry to leave. Taking advantage of the free time today, he found some books on cultivation to read, so as to broaden his horizons.

I was fascinated by it as soon as I saw it, and didn't come back to my senses until the sun set in the west.

Ji An left on the Fu Bird, feeling a lot on his mind.

The book clearly records that the Jinling Sect was a sect that migrated from the land of Central Continent more than two thousand years ago. There were a total of more than twenty sects, large and small, that migrated with it.

After thousands of years of vicissitudes, only the Jinling Sect, Luofeng Valley, and Yuanhe Mountain sects remain standing, while the other sects have disappeared.

The book implicitly suggests that the sect's migration was not entirely voluntary.

The book also mentions that every few thousand years, humans would engage in a protracted war with the demons in the heart of the mountains of Western Continent.

Ji An understood a message from the overall perspective he had developed from reading novels for many years in his previous life: If war breaks out again, the several sects in Xizhou will serve as a buffer zone for the forces in Zhongzhou to fight against the demons!

After advancing to the middle stage of Qi Refining, you must quickly collect 200 contribution points to exchange for the attack spell jade slip.

He knew that if a major war broke out, everyone in the sect would be affected.

The Jinling Sect had been rooted in this land for over two thousand years, and no one could tell how long it would take until the next war. Ji An would rather worry about nothing than be clueless when the time came for a real fight.

At any time, the person you can trust most is yourself.

There are three acres of spiritual fields, and two and a half acres of spiritual grains and half an acre of talisman grass are planted.

The primary talisman grass also matures in three months, and then you can try to make talisman paper.

By learning an additional skill, you can use your time more efficiently.

Earning crystals by condensing wooden beads all over the mountains is not only time-consuming and laborious, but the rewards are also not high.

Ji An cast spells one after another, and clouds and mist covered the three acres of spiritual fields. Spiritual rain fell down, and misty water vapor spread.

Nodding with satisfaction, he was about to leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking on a path not far away.

He walked forward, cupped his hands, and said with a smile:

"I saw Senior Brother Liu again today. I think he has broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining!"

"Haha, I just broke through last night."

Liu Yu was in a good mood, smiling and nodding gently.

Ji An's eyes flickered slightly. It had been about 5 months since the last time they met.

After such a long time, the opponent's cultivation level has only been improved from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is very different from the original rapid progress. Is the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining so difficult to break through?

Ji An thought for a moment and said:

"Brother, you didn't go when the sect's foundation-building master gave a lecture to the new disciples. I heard an opinion and wanted to share it with you."

He carefully repeated what Qin Yan had said about the method of improving qualifications, closely observing the other party's expression.

He found that the other party's expression remained calm throughout, without any fluctuation, and thought that this secret method might not be a secret in the other party's eyes.

After hearing this, Liu Yu smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for telling me, Junior Brother."

He pondered for a few seconds and then said:

"I'll also tell you a little trick. Qi Refining disciples with aptitude below Earth Grade will more or less encounter some bottlenecks when breaking through to the middle and late stages of Qi Refining.

If there is still time, it is best not to buy pills to break through the bottleneck, but to slowly grind through it.

Otherwise, it will have some negative impact on the breakthrough of foundation building."

If you use pills to break through the bottleneck in the Qi Refining Stage, then the chance of breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage will be half a percentage point lower than someone who does not take pills to break through the bottleneck.

The half-success rate may seem to have little impact, but the foundation-building pill itself cannot guarantee a 100% breakthrough for the cultivator. If one is unlucky, one foundation-building pill may not be enough!

The information about improving qualifications that the other party had told him was useless to him, because he already knew it, but when he saw the range of the Small Cloud and Rain Technique from afar, he knew that this was the magic that had been practiced to perfection.

This junior fellow has an amazing understanding of magic. With his talent in spiritual farming, he will have a bright future.

Theoretically, as long as there are enough resources in the Qi Refining Stage, it is not difficult to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage. The only difference is the early or late stage of foundation establishment.

For cultivators, building the foundation is just the beginning, and the Qi Refining stage only supports the foundation of the world of cultivation.

Is there such a thing?

Ji An was shocked and understood why it took the other party so long to break through.

He became more enthusiastic about becoming a disciple in the future. Without the guidance of a master, he might fall into a trap at any time.

"Thank you for telling me, brother. Ji An is grateful."

Ji An bowed respectfully. He had originally planned to buy some pills to quickly break through when he encountered the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining, but now he had to think carefully.
