Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 41 Seventh Level of Qi Refining
With the stone turtle to rely on, and his own decent comprehension, Ji An's training speed in water, earth, and wood spells must be very fast.

Fighting magic is not just about mastering the magic to win. It also requires mentality, reaction and decision-making, as well as sufficient understanding of the enemy.

Without actual combat experience, it is just empty talk.

I heard from Wei Songnian that the two sects, Yuanhe Mountain and Luofeng Valley, also seized spiritual veins and established strongholds deep in the mountains.

Ji An believes that the role of these strongholds to several sects is the same as the role of sects to the major sects in Central China, both of which are buffer zones in war.

He was thinking that if the sect continued to frequently kill monster tribes and establish strongholds, it would most likely prove that the next round of war between humans and monsters was about to begin, and it was not just his speculation.

The sect is making preparations for a rainy day, and he wants to follow suit.

"Junior brother, your planting technique is so exquisite. Wouldn't it be more peaceful to practice in the sect?"

Chu He was puzzled. He refused to be a spiritual farmer because he knew that he could not rely on planting to meet his spiritual needs.

The family's support for him would inevitably decrease, and he knew that he had to fight for the Foundation Establishment Pill on his own.

But Ji An can satisfy his cultivation by planting, and he can also accumulate enough contribution points and crystals by planting to buy foundation-building pills.

Hunting monsters and searching for elixirs in the mountains may seem enjoyable, but in fact, you are risking your life to earn crystals.

Sometimes you can earn a lot, but the cost is also high. The damage to magic tools and the consumption of talismans all require crystals.

If you get injured, it will be even more difficult.

"Junior Brother Chu's words make sense. Junior Brother Ji seems like he hasn't purchased the sect's collection of offensive spell jade slips yet, right?
Practicing attack spells also takes time, and you also need to purchase various magical weapons.

It is better to focus on improving your cultivation. Once you advance to the foundation-building stage, you can slowly hone your attack spells and have more means to deal with monsters."

Zhao Mengyao persuaded her. She also didn't understand why Ji An wanted to take risks when he could practice peacefully.

Ji An smiled slightly and explained:
“I just want to hone my fighting skills. I don’t go out on adventures every day. I spend most of my time staying in the sect.

Besides, Senior Brother Chu He’s team may not necessarily need more people, and I may not have the time, so I’m just saying hello in advance.

Besides, I won't leave until I've reached the late stage of Qi Refining, purchased a set of magical instruments, and mastered an offensive spell."

He added another sentence silently in his mind, and then practiced a defensive spell and a spell for escape to perfection.

"Junior brother is right. We cultivators must also have the ability to fight, otherwise we will not have the power to protect the Dao."

Zhang Yuanshan echoed:

"My uncle told me that after I build my foundation, I must improve my fighting ability.

The main materials used to refine elixirs for improving cultivation during the Foundation Establishment Period often have to be hundreds of years old. Although the sect's medicine garden has a steady output, there are so many cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Period that there are simply not enough to go around.

We can't stay in the sect forever, we must go out and seek opportunities to obtain enough materials to quickly improve our cultivation."

The higher the level of the elixir, the greater the elixir poison, but as the cultivator's realm improves, the speed of eliminating the elixir poison will also be faster.

The frequency with which cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage take pills is not much different from that in the Qi Refining Stage, but medicinal materials are more difficult to obtain, there is a certain amount of consumption when refining pills, and the number of successful pills is even smaller.

Among the sect's foundation-building monks, those who can obtain sufficient supply of elixirs are less than a handful.

"It's not just the elixirs for the Foundation Establishment stage. The Shen Yuan Dan and Yu Zhi Dan used in the late Qi Refining stage require a significant premium to buy sufficient quantities."

Zhao Mengyao shook her head slightly. It was said that transactions between cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage often used the barter method.

If you want to buy it with crystals, you have to pay a very high premium.

Take elixirs as an example. Although the sect’s medicine garden cannot meet everyone’s needs, it can at least supply a batch of elixirs to the monks in the sect every once in a while.

It is extremely difficult for independent cultivators and cultivators from small families to obtain medicine, and the higher the level, the more difficult it is to obtain medicine.

Ji An raised his eyebrows slightly. He had never heard of this situation before.

The main ingredient of Shenyuandan is Huoyun ginseng, which requires a medicinal age of at least twenty years. The main ingredient of Yuzhidan is Ganoderma lucidum, which requires a medicinal age of more than thirty years.

“The world of immortal cultivation has been prosperous for so many years, and the number of cultivators at all levels has increased.

There is no way, this situation has been going on for many years. I heard that one of the reasons why the sect moved from Zhongzhou to Xizhou was because the spiritual veins of the original mountain gate could not meet the needs of the ancestors' cultivation. "

Zhang Yuanshan paused, turned around and said:
"Junior Brother Chu, when you go out hunting monsters, you will inevitably run into groups of independent cultivators. You must be wary of these people.

In the eyes of independent cultivators, the wealth of a sect cultivator is more valuable than a demon beast."

Several people talked about their respective experiences in cultivation and each gained something.

The setting sun shone through the window lattice, and the table was littered with cups and plates. Everyone wished each other "eternal immortality" and then dispersed.

A month later.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and cicadas are chirping in the valley.

A beam of soft light shines through the open window, illuminating the figure sitting cross-legged in the bamboo building.

Ji An only felt a warm current rising from his tailbone, passing through his spine and reaching his cervical vertebrae.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a clear and lively magical power emanated from his dantian and flowed along the immortal meridians around his body.

The immortal vein seemed to become a little stronger, and several small branches opened up.

He opened his eyes and felt that his five senses had become sharper. The chirping of insects outside the bamboo building, which was previously covered by the chirping of cicadas, became clearly audible.

"I have reached the late stage of Qi Refining, and now I have achieved it."

Ji An looked up, the moonlight hit his face, reflecting a crystal clear scene, and his deep eyes were as bright as stars in the sky.

He thought to himself, "What a pity!" The three-year apprenticeship period had already passed half a month ago.

If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait another three years.

Ji An stood up from the mat and connected his mind with the stone turtle.

[Master: Ji An]

【Daoyun: 0】

[Spiritual Ability: Kan Spirit 378.8, Kun Spirit 164.9, Xun Spirit 132.2]

[Spell: Small Cloud Rain Spell (34% complete)

Thick Earth Technique (25% complete)

The Secret of Withering and Flourishing (65% of Great Achievement)

Fire Curse (16% mastery)

Sharp Gold Technique (75% Mastery)

Three years of hard work have yielded fruitful results.

The Thick Soil Technique was perfected a year ago. With the blessing of two perfect-level spells, the harvest of the spiritual valley reached 350 kilograms of yellow rice per mu.

The spiritual energy contained in the vegetables in the courtyard is not much different from that of the spiritual vegetables grown in the first-level spiritual fields.

Thanks to the training of Ruijin Jue, the strength of his spiritual consciousness is half a percentage stronger than before he learned the spell.

After the fusion of souls, his spiritual consciousness is much stronger than that of others, half a percent more, which is very rare.

Now, the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' he released could penetrate pine wood as thick as a bucket.

He had done experiments and found that such an attack could penetrate the defense provided by ordinary quality golden armor talismans.

Ji An walked out of the bamboo building with a smile and went to his daily compulsory lessons.

He made some hand gestures and an ochre-colored spiritual light filled the courtyard.

As the spiritual light gradually dissipated, he felt a strong spiritual energy rising from the ground.
