Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 48 Unwilling
Now Ji An still has 11 spirit stones in his hand, which he is ready to use to activate the spirit-capturing array for cultivation.

No matter when, improving your cultivation is the top priority.

If he can hold on for another three months, he will be able to earn a considerable amount of crystals, and then he can buy magic jade slips or even a low-grade magic weapon.

He shook his head slightly again. There was no rush for the magic weapon. With the income he earned from cultivating spiritual fields, it seemed unprofitable to participate in monster hunting.

It would be better to focus on improving your cultivation and wait until you reach the ninth level of Qi Refining before making any plans.

By then, his spiritual field for growing spiritual grains should have been upgraded to the lower level of the first grade, and he could grow green corn.

The green corn does not require much care in the first two months after planting, and he has more time to go out.

I hope that this high-risk investment of monster hunting will yield enough rewards, so that I can accumulate enough contribution points for the Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible and join the "queue to buy pills" sequence.

According to Uncle Qin Yan's theory, he needed to develop more branches of the immortal veins at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and then use the power of physical and mental sublimation when breaking through the foundation to nourish the immortal veins and expand their length in order to further improve his qualifications.

The ninth level of Qi Refining can be slowly cultivated, which is perfect for practicing fighting techniques.

Ji An sighed in his heart. His spiritual awareness was extraordinary due to the fusion of his two souls, and with the help of the stone turtle, his progress in practicing magic was far beyond that of others. Even so, he still felt that cultivating immortality was full of difficulties.

Those monks who come from aristocratic families have the support of their families, so the road ahead is much easier.

Wei Songnian put away the crystal and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, it's okay to owe it to me, Junior Brother."

I'm not afraid of you owing debts, I'm afraid of you not owing debts.

He felt that as his junior fellow student continued to grow, he would sooner or later become his biggest client.

The two began to talk about their respective cultivation and exchange experiences, and before they knew it, the sun had set.

Ji An stood up and lit the candle, and Liang Qiu brought a pot of fish head soup.

"Let's go and help," Wei Songnian walked out, and the three of them went to the kitchen to bring out fish bone cakes, stewed fish tails and steamed fish.

Liang Qiu took out a few porcelain cups, and after they sat down, they filled them with spirit wine.

After a glass of wine, Liang Qiu said leisurely:
"I have been practicing for twenty years. I am thirty-six years old now and have barely reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment level in my lifetime."

The candlelight flickered, and his face, with several deep wrinkles on his forehead, was sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

Why would a sect expel disciples who haven't established their foundation by the age of sixty? Because after the age of sixty, the body of a Qi Refining cultivator begins to decline, and it is unlikely that they will be able to establish their foundation without a great opportunity.

He still has twenty-four years to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining and then cultivate to perfection.

These are not difficult, but exchanging for the Foundation Establishment Pill requires 60,000 contribution points, which is equivalent to 3,000 crystals.

The price of a foundation-building pill is much more expensive than the pills that foundation-building cultivators take for daily practice.

"With the income from the fish pond, Junior Brother will surely be able to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills soon."

Wei Songnian raised his glass and said with a smile:

"Let us drink this cup together."

After drinking the spirit wine, Liang Qiu exhaled softly:
"Brother, there's no need to comfort me. Unlike you, I don't have a family to support me. My father is just a casual cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and I have younger brothers and sisters to support at home.

The only one I can rely on is myself.

I have actually calculated carefully that unless I can raise some advanced spirit fish, it will be difficult to collect enough contribution points within the limited time.

Even if I have enough contribution points, I still have to wait in line."

He clenched his fists under the table. He thought that if he ran out of time at the last minute, he would buy some magical tools and talismans and go to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Risk your life for a future, if you can't, then bury your bones in the mountains.

Liang Qiu knew very well that if he couldn't obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill within the sect, it would be even more impossible to obtain it outside.

In the Immortal City, it is not uncommon for a Foundation Establishment Pill to be sold for four or five thousand spirit stones.

After entering the sect and seeing the wider world, he was unwilling to be just a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. The elders in the sect always taught that building a foundation is the beginning of cultivation. How could a person who has lived a lifetime and is still wandering outside the door of cultivation accept his fate?
Wei Songnian was a little embarrassed. Indeed, it was easy for him to talk without any pain in his waist.

As long as he can perfect the ninth level of Qi Refining, the family will support him with a sum of crystals. In addition, the family will also use their connections to help him obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill earlier.

Ji An frowned slightly, then picked up the fishbone cake and said with a smile:

"Two senior brothers, the spirit fish is most delicious when eaten hot.

Only when we have enough food and drink can we have the strength to move forward and fight for our lives."

"Junior brother is right. Eat and drink enough before moving forward to fight for your life. Our situation is much better than that of independent cultivators."

Liang Qiu picked up a piece of fish tail and placed it in the porcelain bowl in front of him.

The moon is bright outside, shining on the clear water of the lake.

The spirit fish in the fish pond leaped and dived, creating ripples in the water that shattered the moonlight.

In the early morning, early birds are already chirping on the branches.

Ji An pinched his fingers to perform a magic spell, and the red spiritual light dissipated, and wisps of green smoke emerged from the barren fields.

The seal in his hand changed, releasing the Thick Earth Technique.

It didn't take long before five acres of spiritual fields were reclaimed.

At this time, the morning light rose, shining on this quiet valley, shining on the spiritual field, reflecting a warm spiritual light.

Old Huang and Little Huang hurried back from the direction of the Bishui Lake. Seeing that several acres of spiritual fields had been reclaimed here, they smiled enviously:

"If I had Xiao An's ability, I could stay in the sect for another twenty years."

He has been farming for his entire life, but he cannot compare to others who have only been farming for three years. Although he is no longer at the age of being competitive, he always feels a sense of inexplicable bitterness when he thinks about this.

Ji An responded gently:

“It was my senior brother’s help that allowed me to successfully get to where I am today.”

Old Huang waved his hands quickly:

"Without me, Junior Brother will have a good future."

Excellent people are more likely to get help.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up:
"Little Ange, this season's spiritual grain harvest is over, so I'll let you farm my one-acre of high-quality spiritual farmland.

The cultivation of green corn is slightly different from that of yellow rice. While I still have six months left in the sect, I can explain the intricacies of the process to you."

Wei Songnian's words while drinking that day completely woke him up. If he gave up the spiritual field early, he would earn fewer spiritual stones, as he would have to ask for help from others many times in the future.

He is reluctant now, but he may have to give up more in the future.

There is no good thing without reason. Giving more now is just a favor.

They have been together for several years, and he can understand Ji An's temperament and character. He will definitely repay these favors.

He only lent out one spirit stone, but he probably spent dozens of spirit crystals on a meal of wine.

Ji An was silent for a second, then bowed and said:
"To be honest, Senior Brother, I'm in need of crystals. I'd be remiss if I refused your kindness.

From now on, if Feihu encounters any difficulties, I will not refuse to help within my capabilities."

He thought that if there was any benefit, he should take it. When his cultivation level was higher in the future, it would be easier to repay the favor today.

Just like when he first entered the sect, he borrowed spirit stones to practice, quickly improved his cultivation and then repaid his debts.

At that time, he borrowed nine spirit stones, which was a huge sum of money for him who was at the first level of Qi Refining. But it would be much easier for him to repay the debt when he reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.
