Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 74: Tao Seed: Clouds and Rain
After a satisfying meal and a good drink, Liang Qiu was the first to say goodbye:
"Brothers and sisters, I'll go first. This is a critical period for the growth of the spirit fish, and I have to take good care of it.

When I have some free time in the future, I will invite everyone to my place for a gathering. There will be plenty of spirit fish.”

Wei Songnian said with a smile: "Okay, I'll bring some spirit wine and we'll all get drunk."

Liang Qiu bowed and said goodbye before hurried downstairs. Soon Ji An saw him appear outside the window on a talisman bird, flying towards the west side of the Bishui Lake.

Wei Songnian nodded slightly and said softly:

“Junior Brother Liang is good at catching and breeding spirit fish. Life has improved over the past two years.

In a few years, I should be able to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills."

When disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining gather together, the topic always turns to the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Huang Feihu's face became much more solemn. He had also heard about the fierce competition in the Foundation Establishment Pill in recent years.

There is still a big gap between his grandfather's savings and the amount needed to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill. He needs to think carefully about how to earn crystals and contribution points.

Thinking of this, he bowed and said:
"Two senior brothers, my income from spiritual farming is no way comparable to that of Senior Brother Ji. I wonder which immortal cultivation technique would be best for you to choose in the future?"

Senior Brother Ji has perfected the Small Cloud and Rain Technique within three years of joining the sect. He is also proficient in the Thick Earth Technique, the Withering and Flourishing Technique, the Flame Curse, and the Sharp Gold Technique. He believes that he is completely incomparable to him.

At the same time, Senior Brother Ji is also a skilled talisman maker. Even so, he still participates in monster hunting to earn crystals to exchange for foundation-building pills.

He felt that he had to learn another skill to support himself, otherwise it would take him who knows how many years to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Wei Songnian frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied:

"Alchemy, weapon forging, and formation formations all place greater emphasis on learning from a true master. Unless one is exceptionally gifted, it will be impossible to achieve success by simply purchasing a set of introductory techniques and practicing them on one's own.

Talisman making is equally extensive and profound, but it is easier to get started. If you are willing to work hard, it is not difficult to draw several talismans that require a lot of consumption.

But there are so many talisman masters and the competition is fierce, so if you don’t have strong skills, it’s hard to earn a lot of crystals.”

This question is difficult to answer. Everyone has his own strengths. He cannot judge what Huang Feihu is talented in. He will only know after trying.

For many disciples, the cost of trial and error is very high.

Ji An also spoke:

"Relatively speaking, the cost of becoming a talisman maker is lower."

He once wanted to try alchemy, but thought better of it.

Even if one has a talent for alchemy, it is difficult to achieve anything without enough practice. Moreover, each kind of elixir has different tricks. Unless one is an alchemist trained by a sect or a big family, it is difficult to stand out.

Most importantly, his strength lies in spells.

Ji An is now very much looking forward to what kind of changes the great perfection level of magic can bring. The most suitable path for him is to create a large piece of spiritual farmland, plant crops and draw talismans while participating in monster hunting, and practicing in a relaxed and tense manner.

Once you have enough time to successfully build your foundation, you can learn a skill. You don't need to achieve anything, just treat it as a way to spice things up.

Huang Feihu nodded slightly. He planned to think about it carefully for a while and then discuss it with his grandfather.

This concerns your future path, so you cannot help but be cautious.

Ji An took out a blood-stained ore from his storage bag, handed it over and said:
"Brother, you are very knowledgeable. Do you recognize this material?"

Wei Songnian took the ore and identified it carefully. He then took out a small knife and scraped off some red powder and sniffed it.

He weighed the ore and said with a smile:
"Junior brother, you are lucky. This is red blood copper, a high-level refining material that can slightly increase the power of fire-attributed magic tools.

Generally speaking, it is only used by weapon refiners when forging high-quality magical weapons.

Just this small piece of ore can easily be sold for twenty spirit stones."

“It turns out to be a good thing.”

Ji An felt a little better when he thought of the two pieces of ore he still had in his hand.

He put the ore back into the storage bag and said with a smile:

"Fei Hu has now broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining. I wonder how many Shen Yuan Dan are left in Senior Brother's hand?"

"I knew Junior Brother would ask."

Wei Songnian took out six pale green jade bottles, smiling:
"I've reserved sixty pills, more than enough for the two of you."

"Brother, how many crystals are there for one pill?"

Huang Feihu asked weakly. He only knew that the elixirs used to improve cultivation in the later stages of Qi training were very expensive.

"Two spirit stones for each. How many do you want, Junior Brother?" After a moment of silence, Huang Feihu gritted his teeth and took out ten spirit stones in three batches.

"Five, please."

Wei Songnian took out an empty bottle and poured six pills into it:

"Junior brother has broken through to the late stage of Qi training. The extra one is a gift for you."

"Brother, this is too precious, I..."

Wei Songnian waved his hand and said, "Take it. I used to borrow spirit stones from Old Huang all the time."

"Take it," Ji An also advised, "Brother, how many medium-grade talisman papers do you have?"

“There are only 100 now.”

"Give me all of them. As usual, I'll give you two kinds of talisman ink. Also, 40 more pills."

Ji An no longer configures the talisman ink himself, but buys it directly to save time.

After the payment and goods were settled, the three of them separated.

Ji An's life returned to a simple rhythm, taking care of the spiritual fields and practicing spells.

With all the elixirs and soul-capturing formations in place, his cultivation level increased day by day.

The sun rises and the moon sets, time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is time to harvest green corn again.

The moon was full in the bamboo building. Ji An finished his training and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

He could become stronger by spending money. With the help of lots of spirit stones, he had already felt the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi Refining. He believed that it would not take too much time to break through.

He immersed his mind in the stone turtle, and lines of words appeared in his mind.

[Master: Ji An]

I have stored enough inspiration, it's time to spend it.

Ji An's consciousness locked onto the Small Cloud and Rain Technique and began to refine the spiritual inspiration.

Kan Ling descended rapidly, and his understanding of the spell flowed through his mind.

Ji An seemed to hear the sound of misty rain falling in the wind, and his heart felt at peace.

In a trance, he saw the trees and grasses stretching their bodies in the drizzle, and the raindrops on the leaves gathered into crystal beads and fell, slowly seeping into the soil.
When he came to his senses, he saw that the row with Xiao Yunyu Shu had disappeared and a new row had opened at the bottom.

[Tao Seed: Cloud-Moving and Rain-Borrowing (Not a Grade), hidden in the Yongquan acupoint, comprehends the true meaning of the Guishui Dao magic, 'Spiritual Nourishing All Things,' and improves the understanding of Guishui Dao magic slightly.]

It sounds good to understand the true meaning and improve your understanding.

Ji An nodded slightly, stood up, pushed open the door, walked to the courtyard, and mobilized his magic power to cast a spell.

　As you learn more and more spells, the spell list will be omitted. The spell list will be made public every once in a while.
