Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 40 Reunion
I also want to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining!
Ji An lowered his head to hide the helplessness in his eyes.

In his reckless cultivation state, he encountered a bottleneck at the sixth level of Qi Refining a year ago.

I have been working hard day and night without slacking off, and only in recent days have I felt that the bottleneck has begun to loosen.

If you want to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining, you will have to practice for at least a few more months.

Thinking that Liu Yu had achieved a breakthrough within a few months, he once again lamented in his heart the influence of aptitude on improving cultivation.

Due to poor aptitude, the speed of refining spiritual power is slow, and some of the spiritual energy in the elixir and the soul-capturing array will dissipate before it can be completely refined.

It’s okay to improve a small realm, at most you’ll waste some pills and crystals, but it’s very uncomfortable to encounter a bottleneck.

The good thing is that the difficulty seemed to come because he did not use the elixir to break through the bottleneck.

However, it was not completely without gain. This year, the immortal vein received more nourishment and widened a lot. Several more branches were opened up, and the original branches were also extended a little.

At this moment, Zhang Fan was in a very happy mood. Since there were two disciples with A-level evaluation, he would also be rewarded.

He became enthusiastic towards Ji An, chatted with him for a while, and encouraged him to practice well.

A disciple at the sixth level of Qi Refining who can cultivate ten acres of spiritual fields can harvest enough to meet his own cultivation needs.

It won't be difficult to fight for a foundation-building pill in the future. There is a high probability that you can build the foundation. It is worth making friends with. Maybe you can leave more connections for future generations.

As for Liu Yu, this kind of person will achieve greater success in the future, and may look down on him, a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and it will be difficult for him to get along with him.

Zhang Fan decided to visit this spiritual field occasionally in the future to give Ji An some pointers on his cultivation. It wouldn't take much time to do it.

Seeing that Zhang Fan seemed to be about to leave, Old Huang stepped forward and said:
"Uncle Master, I will be sixty next year and no longer meet the requirements to stay in the sect.

We need to find another candidate for the position of the spiritual field guardian disciple numbered Guiwei."

The guardian disciple has the responsibility to support new spiritual farmers. If the new disciples perform well, the guardian disciple can also get some contribution points as rewards.

He was extremely lucky. Both of his new disciples passed the A-level assessment, so it was no problem for him to be rewarded with hundreds of contribution points.

If he gives up his position early, his successor will also benefit from it.

According to the sect's rules, after he leaves, priority will be given to selecting a disciple from the original area to take care of him. Liu Yu must leave the spiritual field, so there is only one candidate to take care of the disciple.

“Time flies by so fast”

Zhang Fan sighed lightly, turned his head and said:

"Since Xiao Huang is willing to step down early, Ji An will be the disciple who takes care of Guiwei Lingtian.

Ji An, you are quite knowledgeable about planting magic. When new disciples join us, you should know that the sect will reward you for supporting the younger generation."

"Thank you, uncle."

"Well, I'm going to the next place to test my disciples."

Zhang Fan bowed to Liu Yu and said with a smile:

"Junior Brother Liu, please stay here for a few more days and wait for good news."

"Congratulations, Uncle Master."

The three Qi Refining disciples said in unison, and then Zhang Fan raised his sleeves and flew away without the help of any magic weapon.

After Zhang Fan left, Old Huang said with a smile:

"I'm going to leave the sect for a few days and rush to Huangya Taoist Temple. Brothers and sisters, I'll say goodbye first."

Bishui Market, Baiweilou, private room No. 4.

Zhao Mengyao held up the wine glass with both hands and said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Zhang, for breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Perhaps in a few years, we'll be calling you Uncle Zhang."

"Haha, it's too early to talk about foundation building now. I've only been through it for a few months, and I don't know how long it will take to reach perfection in Qi Refining.

Junior sister's Qi is smooth and mellow, I'm afraid it won't be long before she can break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining."

Zhang Yuanshan drank the spiritual wine and shook his head slightly: "I didn't expect that after I went to Moya Mountain, the disciples of the Taoist Academy could no longer gather together."

As he showed a very good talent for refining equipment, coupled with practicing in a first-grade superior spiritual vein, his cultivation progressed rapidly, far exceeding his initial expectations.

He paused and looked at Chu He:
"Brother, have you made up your mind?
Don't take the path of being a disciple who relies mainly on accepting sect missions to hunt monsters for cultivation.

There are many cases of Foundation Establishment Masters perishing in the depths of the mountains, and countless Qi Refining Masters die every year."

This junior fellow has been following him since they met, and the two have a close relationship.

Chu He smiled and said:

"I don't have the talent for refining weapons. If I still want to stay in the sect and practice peacefully, I can only take the path of taming beasts and refining pills, or be an honest spiritual farmer.

None of these options are what I want.

I started preparing for this day two years ago, diligently practicing spells, accumulating spirit stones to buy magical instruments, and now all I need is to find a reliable team to join."

The paths of taming beasts and refining pills were directly ruled out because the family would no longer give him such great support.

Being a spiritual farmer and cultivating spiritual fields and working hard to accumulate spiritual stones for cultivation was not his wish.

Zhang Yuanshan nodded slightly:
"Moya Mountain has now become the sect's bridgehead, with many active monster hunting teams. The sect has set aside an area to build a small market for everyone to trade.

I can now take on the job of repairing damaged magical instruments and have gotten to know some members of the demon hunting team.

Could you please help me find out if we need any help? My junior brother is already at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so he should be easily accepted.

Before this, Junior Brother, please do not go deep into the mountains alone."

Hunting monsters often requires going deep into the mountains. For a newcomer to go alone is no different from seeking death, so he must join a team to look after each other.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother."

Chu He's face was full of smiles. With reliable people to help, things would be much simpler.

His original plan was to find a few familiar people to form a team. If a newcomer had no one to guarantee him, it would be impossible for him to join the old team.

Seeing Zhang Yuanshan looking at him, Ji An took out five spirit stones from his arms and gave them to him:

"This is the spirit stone I'm returning to my senior brothers. To thank you for your help, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Junior brother, are you so wealthy now? This spiritual meal is very expensive, why don't we share it among ourselves?"

Zhang Yuanshan was surprised. He ordered several kinds of high-level spiritual food. This meal cost at least four spiritual stones.

Adding the spirit stones returned to him, he spent nine spirit stones at once. He would feel distressed if he were in his place.

Zhao Mengyao covered her mouth and laughed:
“Brother, you may not know that although Junior Brother Ji is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, his Small Cloud and Rain Technique has reached perfection and he has cultivated ten acres of spiritual fields.

If we talk about financial resources, I am probably not much behind my senior brother."

She carefully estimated the other party's income. He could accumulate about 30 spirit stones every season. Such income was enough to satisfy the practice of a disciple in the late stage of Qi Refining.

The rewards she received from the sect plus the support from her family was only this amount. The key point was that she had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"Junior brother has indeed mastered the Small Cloud and Rain Technique to perfection. Excellent!"

Zhang Yuanshan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile:

"Junior brother, you have such ability. You will have great hope in building your foundation in the future. We should communicate more with each other in the future."

Ji An raised his glass, thinking that he had finally made it into the circle of disciples from these families.

After finishing the wine, Ji An said:

“After planting the spiritual grain, you will be free for about a month.

After I break through the seventh level of Qi Refining, I plan to join a monster hunting team in my spare time.

If Senior Brother Chu He's team is temporarily short of manpower in the future, you can look for me."
