Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 31 Breakthrough, Mid-stage Qi Refining

After separating from Liu Yu, Ji An returned to the bamboo building.

He picked up the wood carving and wondered when to go to Liangqiu to get some fish bladder glue, which was very effective in gluing wood together.

The wood carving is made of silver pine and is made by gluing two pieces of wood together with ordinary gum.

Silver pine is a relatively common wood. Ji An had seen several of them when he was refining the wood essence beads.

He subconsciously placed the wood carving in front of his eyes, was slightly stunned, walked out of the bamboo building and placed the wood carving in the sunlight.

When the light passed through the hole, Ji An discovered that the color of the center of the wood carving was obviously different from other places, as if there was a mezzanine filled with something.

There's something hidden in here!

Ji An's heart suddenly burst with joy. Could it be a treasure map or something?! This is possible.

The wood carving was carved by my father himself, and anything that was put in it must have been put in by my father.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Ji An immediately cast a spell and released the Fire Curse.

This spell creates just the right temperature to soften the glue holding the wood carving together.

Because the temperature is not high, the paper cannot ignite, so the wood will not be burned, nor will the contents be burned.

After casting the spell twice in succession, Ji An grabbed the wooden sculpture and broke it hard:
"open!"

"Snap", the wood carving broke into two halves, revealing a neatly folded animal skin with a hole in the middle.

Don't destroy the critical information.

Ji An prayed, exhaled, and slowly opened the animal hide.

He understood why his father did not use jade slips to record information, because jade slips had weak fluctuations of spiritual power.

A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage might not be able to notice it, but that might not be the case for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After a long time, when Ji An repeatedly confirmed that he had memorized all the contents on the animal skin, he went to the kitchen and burned the animal skin.

The animal skin records the secret method of breeding treasure-hunting rats. There are two types of treasure-hunting rats. The first type is called spirit-hunting rat, which is used to search for spiritual medicines, and the second type is called mine-hunting rat, which is used to search for mineral veins.

Back then, his father cultivated spirit-seeking rats. It would be meaningless for a casual cultivator to cultivate mining-seeking rats.

Although some of the writing was erased by the spell, the key information was not lost, and Ji An was able to follow the secret method.

The secret method is incomplete and can only cultivate the treasure-hunting rat to the middle stage of foundation building at most. However, such a secret method is like a treasure to casual cultivators.

Perhaps my father has the intention of establishing a family. If these things are used well, they can be used to cultivate a foundation-building cultivator, and the secret method can be passed down as a family inheritance.

If he had obtained the secret technique when he had just entered the sect, Ji An would most likely have sold it to Zhang Yuanshan and others, but now, he would not be so hasty.

First of all, he was uncertain about the value of this secret technique and it was difficult to sell it at a good price. Secondly, he had now passed the most difficult time and could use the secret technique to build a long-term business.

After the secret method was destroyed, Ji An went out and cut a silver pine branch as thick as his arm and threw it outside the fence gate to dry. The wood carving still needed to be repaired.

The Linggu harvested crop after crop, and half a year passed quickly.

The cold moon is silent, shining obliquely on the bamboo building.

Ji An sat cross-legged on the cushion, and according to the methods in the exercises, he guided his magic power to break through the bottleneck again and again.

After using only two bottles of the pills he got from Wei Songnian, he felt that he had reached a bottleneck.

Although his aptitude was average, he was fed with elixirs and spiritual rice at all costs, so he faced the problem of breakthrough sooner than most ordinary disciples of the same period.

Because of Liu Yu's guidance, he did not rush to break through, but insisted on using his own magic power to break through the bottleneck again and again.

After four months, the bottleneck has loosened.

Not only that, there were two more branches of the immortal vein in the body, each about an inch long, and his own qualifications were slightly improved, which was an unexpected surprise.

The magic power in his body was slowly consumed, and finally he could no longer accumulate enough magic power to break through the bottleneck.

Ji An finished his training, but his eyes were filled with excitement. He had a hunch that the time for a breakthrough was tonight!

Take a short break and warm your mind.

He took out a jade bottle and poured out a blue pill. This was the Jade Pill given to him by Wei Songnian, a pill used by disciples in the middle stage of Qi Refining to increase their mana.

It would be a waste of medicinal power to use it at the third level of Qi Refining, but it is perfect for refining mana to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion again, Ji An raised his head, swallowed the pill, and began to practice the Qingyuan Sutra.

The medicinal power of the Jade Pill is much stronger than that of the Yellow Bud Pill. As the technique is practiced, the spiritual power contained in the pill is quickly refined.

Due to the limited capacity of the body, a large amount of spiritual power actually escaped through the pores of the body, which is really a pity.

The magic power gathered into waves, and before one wave subsided, another wave came to attack. How could the loose bottleneck withstand it!

In a short while, with the influx of another wave of magic power, the Qihai acupoint suddenly expanded a bit.

All the magic power poured into the Dantian, and then a magic power with a texture different from that of the initial stage of Qi Refining surged out and poured into the immortal veins.

Ji An immediately discovered that with the influx of new magic power, the immortal veins actually became a bit thicker.

At the same time, three branches about an inch long were opened up.

The body immediately felt light and airy, like taking off winter clothes after the arrival of spring.

It was as if I had taken some magical tonic, and my internal organs felt warm.

The muscles and bones creaked slightly, and a warm current rose from the tailbone and rushed to the waist.

After refining the remaining medicinal power in the pill, Ji An opened his eyes.

For a moment, the dimly lit room appeared clearly in his eyes.

Clenching his fists even more forcefully, Ji An whispered:

“It took a year to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining.

I’m nowhere near as talented as those guys, but I have my own rhythm.”

His mind sank into the sea of ​​qi and connected with the stone turtle.

[Master: Ji An]

【Daoyun: 0】

[Spiritual Ability: Kan Spirit 0.3, Kun Spirit 0.2, Xun Spirit 0.1]

[Spell: Small Cloud Rain Spell (Great Success 81%)

Thick Earth Technique (Great Achievement 50%)

The Secret of Withering and Flourishing (15% of Great Achievement)

Fire Curse (Mastery 38%)

Sharp Gold Technique (Minor Success 21%)]

After half a year of quiet cultivation, the Small Cloud and Rain Technique was close to perfection. Ji An was confident that he could raise the spell to perfection in three months, before the next Spirit Valley harvest.

It is said that the fastest record for mastering a planting spell in the sect was created by a spiritual farmer named Yang Decao hundreds of years ago.

The other party had been in the sect for twenty-six years and had perfected the Thick Earth Technique at the age of forty-two.

The experience of this senior is legendary. He advanced to the middle stage of Qi Refining, the late stage of Qi Refining, and the foundation-building stage on time.

In the end, he lost the favor of heaven and died when he tried to reach the Chaoyuan stage, which was also the highest level that the sect's spiritual farmers could reach.

Ji An opened the window, looked up at the white jade plate in the sky, and let out a long breath.

It has been a year since I came into this world. The deep memories that I thought I would never forget have slowly faded away in the process.

Now, he has truly integrated into this world, and this foreign land has become his hometown.

There was a cool breeze outside the small building, and the leaves were rustling.

The bright moon shines on the vegetable garden in the yard, and a few jade-like cucumbers poke out from under the green leaves.
