Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 47 Clues

Ji An and his companion quickly packed up their stall, went to Baiweilou to buy three bottles of spirit wine and some side dishes, and flew to the west of Bishui Lake on the Fu Bird.

That is the fish pond designated by the sect. It is said that there is a spiritual spring at the bottom of the lake that continuously gushes out spiritual water.

As the sky gradually darkened, the cries of cranes and herons could be heard in the sky.

"The fish pond that Junior Brother Liang rented is at the outermost edge, numbered Bingchou Fish Pond.

Look over there, there's a bamboo building with a flag bearing the word 'Liang' on it. That's where Junior Brother Liang lives."

When the two flew to the front of the bamboo building, they saw Liang Qiu coming back in a sampan filled with green duckweed.

"Junior Brother Liang, let's have a drink."

Wei Songnian raised the wine in his hand and greeted everyone enthusiastically.

"You two are rare guests."

Liang Qiu laughed heartily and secretly performed a spell to break the bamboo building's barrier:
"Go inside and sit down. I'll throw this feed into the fish pond."

Ji An and the other man landed at the bamboo building and waited for the other to finish his work.

Liang Qiu used his object-controlling technique to quickly disperse all the green duckweed into the pond, and then caught two half-foot-long silver-scaled fish and threw them into the fish basket.

He rowed the boat to the bamboo building and jumped onto the building with the fish basket.

Ji An immediately stepped forward, took the rope from the other party and tied the boat.

"Thank you, Junior Brother."

Liang Qiu gave a bitter laugh and continued:
"After renting the fish pond, I bought a batch of silver-scaled fish and golden carp fry. I spent most of my spirit stones and could barely afford fish food. I could only catch some duckweed to survive for a while.

It will take half a year for the crystals to start trickling in, and it will be a tough time."

"The good days are yet to come. Junior Brother is also a business owner now. The speed of accumulating crystal stones and contribution points will be much faster in the future."

Wei Songnian's tone was filled with envy. His business was busy every day, receiving and selling goods, and it all depended on a group of old customers to support it.

It seems that the profit is good. Excluding the cost of one's own cultivation, all the crystals are piled up in the inventory.

A few years ago, a member of the Wei family entered Luofeng Valley. Because of his great talent in cultivation, he was accepted as a disciple in the late stage of foundation building.

The family allocated a large amount of resources to this member of the clan, and other members of the clan received much less support.

It is unknown how many years it would take for this member of the clan to repay the family.

Wei Songnian’s biggest dream is to save some spirit stones and use the power of his family to buy a shop in Qingyun Fairy City.

Of course, the premise of all this is that he can build a foundation. If he can't build a foundation, he won't be able to guard the shop in the fairy city, and the family will not let him be the shopkeeper.

With his qualifications, if he wants to build a foundation, he will definitely need a foundation-building pill. This kind of pill that can break through a large realm is easiest to obtain in the sect.

The sect and the major families have an agreement that as long as they can serve the sect for more than 30 years after establishing their foundation, non-core disciples in the foundation-building stage are allowed to leave the sect and return to their families.

The condition is that if war breaks out, the monks who leave must accept conscription.

With this agreement, each family is willing to send more outstanding disciples to the sect for training.

Of course, the most outstanding direct disciples must stay in the family for training, otherwise they will not be in the same mind with the family.

There are also benefits to the sect doing this. They can use the vacant spiritual vein nodes to win over cultivators who are not from the family and make them contribute wholeheartedly to the sect.

How can one become completely devoted? The simplest way is to bind them together by mutual interests, and then slowly cultivate a sense of identity with the sect.

"Haha, thanks to Senior Brother for your good wishes, I'll go stew these fish. You two can chat first."

Liang Qiu opened the door, invited the two in, and went to the kitchen to busy himself.

Ji An followed him to the kitchen and got a few plates to put the packed side dishes on.

After finishing his work, he took out the talisman paper and ink from the package and handed them to Wei Songnian, saying:
"Brother, do you still have any Shen Yuan Dan?" "I knew you would want it, so I specially kept five."

Wei Songnian took out a white jade bottle with a smile and handed it over, then began to count the talisman papers.

Now, among his old customers, there are more and more people in the late stage of Qi training, and the profits are much better than in the first few years.

"Thank you, brother, you understand me."

Ji An took the jade bottle, poured out the pill, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then nodded with satisfaction.

Wei Songnian finished counting and said with a smile:

"254 pieces of first-grade low-grade talisman paper, 118 pieces of mid-grade talisman paper, and 10 bottles of low-grade talisman ink, a total of 1548 spirit crystals can be obtained.

Junior Brother, is this the old rule?"

He calculated in his mind that the other party's talisman-making technique had reached a bottleneck and the quality rate had hardly improved.

But it also made him feel relieved. It would be fine if the planting spell was so good, but if the level of making talisman paper was extremely high, he would be so jealous that he couldn't sleep.

“This time, my senior brother gave me the materials for 20 bottles of talisman ink. After I go back today, I will reclaim another 5 mu of spiritual farmland.

Three months later, I will make a lot of spirit stones."

Ji An had already figured it out. The cultivators he was familiar with had all advanced to the late stage of Qi Refining. Everyone had to face the problem of competing for the Foundation Establishment Pill, so they probably wouldn't be able to lend him many crystals.

Although it is still early to build the foundation, we still need to prepare for it. After all, we need to queue up to get the foundation-building pill after accumulating enough contribution points.

Wei Songnian was slightly stunned:
"Can you take care of so many spiritual fields?"

Old Huang only cultivated ten acres of spiritual fields.

"About the same, at most some spiritual fields will yield less."

"As long as you know what's going on, Junior Brother, that's good."

Wei Songnian nodded, took out 20 pieces of talisman ink materials, and said with a smile:
"A large number of sect monks and independent cultivators have flocked to Moya Mountain, using it as a supply base. The talismans are now selling well.

If Junior Brother becomes a talisman maker, he will have a bright future."

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"I heard that the sect has organized the masters in the Foundation Establishment stage to go to the depths of the Shiwan Mountains to grab territory. As the supply base goes deeper and deeper, more and more cultivators will participate in the monster hunting in the future.

Hey, the sect has been dormant for so many years, it's time to expand the territory. I heard that the spiritual vein nodes are no longer enough for the cultivators in the foundation-building stage. "

Has it started? Ji An frowned slightly, a sense of urgency rising in his heart.

The sect began to act at the pace he had expected. He needed to learn some protective spells as soon as possible, and if possible, he needed to build his foundation as soon as possible.

"Good news! I heard that after purification, the demon core of the foundation-building level can be used as the main ingredient for the foundation-building pill."

There are many kinds of recipes for foundation-building pills. Using demon pills to refine foundation-building pills was extremely popular during the era of fierce conflicts between humans and demons.

Not only the foundation-building pill, but also the demon pill can be used to refine a variety of pills to improve cultivation.

However, this type of elixir has a strong effect. It is said that taking too much will affect people's mind, and it takes more time to refine.

"No!"

Wei Songnian clenched his fists tightly. The side effects of the pills made with demon pills were greater, but they were cheap.

Taking the foundation-building pill may not necessarily allow him to successfully build his foundation, but if he has two foundation-building pills, if he cannot build his foundation, he might as well go home and become a stud, and do his part to help the family expand.

"Twenty packs of talisman ink materials, a total of 420 spirit crystals. Junior brother, I still have 1128 spirit crystals left. Do you want to buy anything else?"

Ji An ordered 72 spirit crystals and took out a spirit stone and pushed them out together:

"These are also for Brother. They are used to pay off the crystals I used to buy Shen Yuan Dan and Ling Tao seeds. I still owe Brother ten spirit stones."
