Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 89 Outsourcing
Ji An lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the number of spirit stones, then took out four spirit stones and pushed them over:

"Old Xiang, take these spirit stones."

On weekdays, the other party helps me with a lot of trivial matters, and a few days ago he invited me to Tianyin Pavilion to listen to music.

Tianyin Pavilion is a place where monks who practice music use sonic instruments to play music, which can cleanse the mind and refine the spirit.

When Ji An first started learning Buddhism and listened to Master Qin Yan’s teachings, it was the first time he heard the sound of immortals.

What's more, after listening to the song, he felt that the efficiency of his practice had slightly improved within three days.

Although Lao Xiang always said that it was his credit to accumulate so many wooden beads, he could not take these spirit stones alone. The basic principle of reciprocity and sharing the benefits equally should still be followed.

Xiang Yong waved his hands hurriedly: "Brother, I can't take this spirit stone."

He didn't contribute much, so he felt guilty taking it.

"Take it, we still have a long time to spend together."

Ji An picked up the spirit stone and handed it to the other party, saying:

"Let me do the work of condensing the Wood Yuan Pearl from now on. It just so happens that I want to practice the Withering and Flourishing Technique more."

The Tao seeds of Gui water and Ji earth have been condensed, and the next step is to condense the Tao seeds of metal and wood.

The Thick Earth Art contains the meaning of the Dharma. In the future, there will be more wooden element beads left, and this extra income will be even more substantial.

"Listen to my brother."

Xiang Yong put the spirit stone into his storage bag, and sighed in his heart that the other party seemed to have no shortcomings in the art of planting.

Some of the gifted spiritual farmers he met were only good at one spell, while the older ones were good at two.

Several other spells can only be mastered to a small degree after years of use, and those with outstanding comprehension may be able to master one or two more spells.

But Ji An broke his stereotype. Although he was young, he had a profound understanding of the five planting spells and even understood the meaning of the small cloud and rain spell.

Ji An and Li Lingyu came to the cave on the top of the mountain. Yesterday, the master sent a message saying that the alchemy task had been completed and today he would guide their practice.

Ge Ying smiled when he saw the two disciples coming together:
"Yes, Ji An's magical aura has improved a lot, and Ling Yu's aura has become more harmonious. They have all practiced hard and never slacked off."

"Seeing that other brothers and sisters have advanced to the foundation-building stage, of course I have to catch up. How could I be lazy?"

Li Lingyu smiled and talked about the difficulties he encountered when refining his spiritual consciousness.

"Ji An, the method I am going to talk about next will also be useful when you need to sharpen your spiritual consciousness in the future, so you should listen carefully."

"Yes."

Ji An obeyed the order. The spiritual consciousness of a cultivator is usually shrunk in the Niwan Palace. If it is not released outside, high-level cultivators will not be able to detect the strength of the spiritual consciousness.

Ge Ying began to answer patiently and gave several solutions.

"Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts," Li Lingyu bowed.

"Master, when I was using the secret method of opening meridians to nourish the immortal meridians, I found that the branch meridians near the heart meridian could not be opened. If I repeatedly stimulate the heart, I will feel a faint burning sensation. Is there something wrong with my method?"

Ji An expressed his doubts. He did not encounter any difficulties in improving his cultivation, and he was not worried that his spiritual power was not strong enough.

"The heart meridian belongs to fire. Repeated impacts will inevitably stimulate the fire. You must stop at that time, otherwise it will easily damage the immortal meridian.

Nourishing the immortal veins and training the spiritual consciousness are best done after your magic power has reached a bottleneck. It is not the focus at this stage. Spend more time on improving your cultivation.

Opening up immortal veins requires letting nature take its course, not forcing things."

"Thank you Master for your teaching."

Despite saying this, Ji An still decided to take enough time every day to nourish his immortal veins.

Expanding and strengthening the immortal veins can slightly improve his qualifications, which is of even greater significance to him.

The stone turtle would devour half of the mana he refined every time. Improving his qualifications a little bit would increase the efficiency of his mana refining by a little bit.

Little by little, it will add up to a lot, and the difficulties he will face in building his foundation will be less.

He couldn't tell anyone about this difficulty, and he wouldn't tell anyone. After bidding farewell to his master, the two of them left the cave.

Ji An smiled and said:

"Senior Sister, I still need to go to the Bishui Lake to tend to the spiritual fields and harvest the talisman grass. I'll leave first."

"Junior brother, go on your own."

Ji An waved his hand, and the gray-feathered sand goose that was resting not far away flew over and took off with its master on its back.

"Gah!"

Li Lingyu looked at the man and the beast who quickly turned into black dots, and took out the talisman bird to input spiritual power.

"The first thing I need to do after building my foundation is to buy a flying beast. The Talisman Bird is too slow."

Two months later.

The courtyard is full of vitality. Two spiritual fruit trees are growing luxuriantly, and their trunks are now as thick as a child's arm.

The fire cloud ginseng in the sunlight looks like a burning brazier, and its leaves are like rising flames.

After careful identification, Ji An believed that the elixir was nearly five years old.

Now that his Thick Earth Art contains the meaning of the law, these dozens of spiritual herbs will be harvested much earlier than expected, and then he will get another sum of spirit stones.

The green corn had been harvested and put into bags. After weighing them one by one, he immediately became very excited.

Three acres of green corn, in the past only yielded about 450 kilograms per acre, but this season the yield is over 600 kilograms per acre.

The Great Perfection of Thick Soil Technique can increase the yield of spiritual rice better than the Small Cloud and Rain Technique. The grains of spiritual rice are larger and have a warm jade-like luster, which truly lives up to the name "jade".

"Brother, I'm here."

When Ji An heard someone calling him, he used some magic formula to open the magic ban.

Huang Feihu walked into the courtyard with beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Brother, the talisman grass has been harvested. Should we move it to the gate or inside?"

"Don't worry, sit down and talk."

Ji An released his object control technique and grabbed a chair.

"Feihu, you've been learning talisman making for half a year now. What are your chances of making mid-grade talisman paper?"

Making talismans is a craft, but making talisman paper is much simpler and only earns hard-earned money.

The reason why he made a decent profit from selling talisman paper in the past was because he grew the talisman grass himself, had good planting techniques, and there were no middlemen to make a profit from the difference.

“The most important factor in producing mid-grade talisman paper is the quality of the talisman grass, and the requirements for craftsmanship are not that high.

My Small Cloud and Rain Technique and Thick Earth Technique have both reached the Great Perfection stage, and now I have about a 20% chance of creating mid-grade talisman paper."

After hearing what the other party said, Ji An nodded slightly. This probability was almost the same as his back then, so he could be considered a skilled talisman maker.

"How is the quality of the talisman grass I planted?"

Huang Feihu sighed enviously:

"Senior brother's planting skills are unmatched by others."

"I'll tell you a way to cooperate, and you can tell me if it's feasible.

All these talisman herbs are given to you to make talisman paper, and 10% of it will be your reward. Do you want to cooperate?"

Ji An roughly calculated that if he gave the other party a half-point profit, he would be able to get about ten spirit stones within a few days, which means he could earn one and a half spirit stones a day on average.

There is not much technical skill required in making talisman paper. It is not worth it for him to spend time and effort to make it himself. Wouldn't it be better to use this time to improve his cultivation and practice spells?

He only earned a few less spirit stones, and now he has the capital to outsource the less cost-effective skills.
