Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 80 Ning Cui Cliff

The maid took out a spirit stone and handed it to the young man:

"That fellow Taoist just now reached a supply agreement with us. This is your reward."

The young man's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly took the spirit stone, looked around a few times, and put it into the pocket sewn on his clothes like a thief.

He slapped it twice, feeling the prickly touch, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I thought that I wouldn't get much benefit from the business deal I finally got, but who knew there would be a sudden turn of events.

After Ji An came out of the Baofu Pavilion, he went to several small shops that sold talismans before he found a buyer for the talismans he would draw in the future.

It was already afternoon. The two of them found a small shop and had some ordinary wine and meat, then set out again to buy medicine.

"Senior, could you tell me what kind of elixirs and herbs you need to buy? I can recommend a more suitable store for you."

The young man asked. He saw the sun setting and knew he had to make a deal quickly.

"Buy some Yuzhi Pills and some common medicinal herbs used for beast taming in the late stage of Qi Refining."

"Senior, the quality of the elixirs has always been the most famous in Luofeng Valley's Zhendanfang. If you don't have high requirements for quality."

"Just go to Zhendanfang."

Ji An responded indifferently. He was not good at distinguishing medicinal pills. If he went to other places to try to get a bargain, he might end up buying inferior goods, which would not be worth it.

"Senior, this way," the young man's eyes sparkled. He loved hearing customers speak so ostentatiously.

The young man led the way and said:
“Senior, if the herbs you want don’t have any rare treasures, you might as well go to Li’s Herb Shop.

That is the property of the Li family of Baiyuan Mountain. Their family started out with planting, and the quality of the medicinal materials is trustworthy and the prices are reasonable.

It's on our way to Zhendanfang, and won't waste your time at all."

The Li family of Baiyuan Mountain?
Ji An remembered that he had received the token for several years but had never used it. He said,

"Then let's go to Li's herbal medicine shop."

"okay."

The young man was even more attentive. He was related to the owner of the herbal medicine shop in a very different way. After he brought the customers over to do business, the other party would give him a few more spirit crystals.

The two turned from the main street into a small alley and entered the first shop.

"What would you like to order, sir?" The upright middle-aged shopkeeper stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Ji An took a quick look. The shop was not big, with only one shopkeeper and one clerk. The shop was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine.

He smiled faintly, took out the prescription and handed it over:

"How many crystals are needed for these herbs?"

The shopkeeper took a quick look and his years of experience told him that these were pills for raising beasts, but the ingredients were ordinary and it was unlikely to be a high-end formula.

For prescriptions, the efficacy will be different if the dosage of medicinal materials is slightly changed. In addition, many prescriptions require a medicine to induce the medicine. It is a pipe dream to want to restore the formula based on the prescription.

Besides, many people would keep some of the herbs they bought and buy them from several stores, so he never coveted his customers' prescriptions.

The shopkeeper took the abacus and calculated with it for a while, then said:

"Fellow Daoist, the herbs you need are not expensive, but the quantity is too large. A total of 21 spirit stones are required."

Ji An nodded slightly. He bought a year's supply, and the herbs were ordinary elixirs, so the price was fair.

He took out the jade token that Li Changfeng had given him from his storage bag and said with a smile:
"I am familiar with Senior Brother Li Changfeng of the Nobles."

The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, then took the jade token for verification and said with a smile:

"You can enjoy a discount with the token. The transaction price is 20 spirit stones."

Ji An took out the spirit stone, chatted with the shopkeeper for a few words and then left.

The young man smiled happily when he saw the shopkeeper pointing a finger.

Then the two of them went to Zhendanfang, and Ji An asked for 100 pills, spending 195 spirit stones.

This caused the maids selling pills and the young broker to exclaim in surprise. Such financial resources were simply not something an ordinary disciple could possess. The young man calculated the commission he could get, and his saliva unconsciously overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Ningcui Cliff.

After finishing his intense alchemy work, Ge Ying took a day off and called all his disciples together to check their work.

She was practicing the Qingmu Changchun Gong, which could increase her lifespan. Now she was 210 years old, which was ten years beyond the limit of ordinary foundation-building period lifespan. She felt that she had not much time left and could only live for 30 to 40 years at most.

Now she is only at the eighth level of foundation building, and there is no hope for her to reach the Yuan stage.

She started out as a casual cultivator, but by chance she was accepted into the sect by Teacher Meng and was carefully trained, which led to her current achievements.

Out of gratitude for the kindness of the sect and her teacher, she always wanted to train more outstanding disciples for the sect before her death.

After the test, she had a smile on her face:
"Yes, you have been working very hard recently and have made great progress. I am very pleased."

Ge Ying was silent for a few seconds and sighed softly:

"The sect has undergone significant changes in recent years, and there are some things you should know. I will tell you this, and I will only tell you my ears.

According to the sect's ancestors' investigation, there have been unusual movements among the demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and it is speculated that a demon disaster will erupt in the next few decades."

It has been about three thousand years since the last major demon disaster. According to past patterns, the time is almost up.

The disciples cried out in low voices. Even though they had never experienced the horror of the demonic disaster themselves, they had heard about it from their elders. It was simply a calamity for the cultivators.

After the disciples digested this shocking information, Ge Ying spoke again:
"One hundred and twenty years ago, the Golden Core Patriarch of Luofeng Valley went deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains to collect herbs. He noticed unusual changes in the demon race and informed us and Yuanhe Mountain.

After several ancestors of the sects joined forces to investigate again, the three sects began to prepare for war, and countless meridian-opening pills were released.

The various sects' medicinal fields have begun to expand the cultivation of the main ingredients for foundation-building pills, and now it's harvest time."

“In a few decades, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the three sects’ jurisdictions will be several times greater than when the sects migrated to Xizhou three thousand years ago.

None of the sects that migrated here back then had a Golden Core Patriarch, but now the three sects have a total of seven Golden Core Patriarchs."

"After the demonic disaster breaks out, the major sects in Central Continent will also send experts to assist us. This was the agreement signed when many sects migrated here."

Ge Ying recounted the ordinary secrets of the past and said earnestly:
"Demon disasters are calamities, but they are also opportunities.

I don't know if I can survive until the demonic disaster breaks out, but I hope you can survive it safely."

She turned to look at the disciples sitting at the end.

"Du Huaiyuan, Mu Qingwan, Li Lingyu, you've all been practicing Qi Perfection for several years now. Are you confident?"

"Master, my foundation-building pill is ready. Everything is ready. I will build my foundation in the next few days," Du Huaiyuan said confidently.

"Master, I am just like my senior brother. I plan to build my foundation in a few days," Mu Qingwan replied.

Li Lingyu was a little embarrassed and whispered:
"Master, I still need to polish it for a year or two. However, since I exchanged for the Foundation Establishment Pill too late, I can only wait until the sect's next round of alchemy."

She had no family to rely on and could only rely on herself and her father's help. Improving her cultivation and strengthening her spiritual awareness cost a lot of money. This time, she borrowed spirit stones from several senior brothers and sisters to get enough contribution points.

Ge Ying nodded slightly:

"Foundation building is only the first hurdle on the road to becoming an immortal. You all have top-tier talent, so I'm not worried.

As long as you succeed in building your foundation, you will be my formal disciples and will automatically become the inner disciples of the sect.

As long as I still have the ability, I will do my best to help you."

She paused and continued:

"Cultivating immortality is a battle against heaven. The several herbs for foundation-building pills in my medicine garden are already mature. Once your Qi is smooth and harmonious, I will start refining the pills.

Lingyu, I will lend you one of the foundation-building pills. Just return it to me when you get the elixir from the sect."

Li Lingyu has been in charge of the medicine garden for many years, which has taken up a lot of his time.

The other party has been doing his best and has never made any mistakes. She is very satisfied with the disciple's serious attitude.
