Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 99: Tao Seed: Yi Wood Rejuvenation
"As a teacher, I have the strength to help you, so of course I will help you, but you have to walk the path by yourself in the end.

Lingyu, you are a cautious person. As long as you move forward bravely, building your foundation will be a piece of cake. Show your courage when you fought against the Foundation Building Tribulation Cultivator a year ago."

Ge Ying noticed that this disciple lacked confidence and needed encouragement.

"Thank you for your teachings, Master," Li Lingyu's eyes lit up with excitement after receiving the affirmation.

"My life span is only a few decades, and I only hope to see you grow up faster. After the demon disaster breaks out, you brothers must help each other."

"We would do the same without Master's orders."

Ge Ying nodded and smiled:
"Gerluoying of Yingyue Peak is my descendant. She has been hunting monsters and honing her fighting skills for many years. You, my new disciples, have never seen her.

I'll have the opportunity to get you together in the future, and we should get closer."

Her Taoist partner and child died during an expedition. Groying is her great-grandniece, who looks very much like herself back then and is very much loved by her.

This great-niece had no interest in alchemy and planting. She only liked the unrestrained and free-spirited sword practice and her talent in fighting, so she sent her to the Yingyue Peak Forest to study under Uncle Qiubai.

Lin Qiubai is a sword cultivator in the Chaoyuan period and is very famous throughout the entire Xizhou.

Li Lingyu was slightly startled. Yingyue Peak was the sect's sword cultivation branch. Although they were small in number, they were the sect's main combat force.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Of course we want to get close to each other, but we're afraid that Senior Sister Ge won't be easy to get along with."

Most sword cultivators are cold and aloof, and may not look down on ordinary disciples like them.

She understood what her master meant and wanted to leave more connections for Ge Luoying.

Refining a flying sword requires the consumption of many spiritual objects, but sword practitioners are required to be sincere in their hearts and their swords, and never practice the various arts of immortal cultivation. All the external objects they need must be fought for by themselves.

If a cultivator has a wide network of contacts, it would be much easier to collect external objects, but sword cultivators have a high opinion of themselves and are somewhat difficult to get along with, so their network of contacts is often not good.

After all, no one wants to make friends with someone who looks down on them, unless they have ulterior motives.

Ge Ying naturally understood the bad tempers of most sword cultivators and simply smiled faintly:

"Let's get to know each other. After I pass away, if Luo Ying needs help, I hope you will lend a hand for the sake of your master."

"If Senior Sister Ge can use us, we will definitely not refuse."

Li Lingyu pursed her lips and continued:

"It's still unknown what will happen in the future. Perhaps Master will make great progress and break through to the Chao Yuan Stage."

"Haha, kid, you don't even believe what you say, right?"

Ge Ying shook her head slightly, a look of relief flashing in her eyes. She looked calmly and distantly at the void in front of her, and after a long time, she sighed deeply.

After years of practice, she felt that she had gradually comprehended the true meaning of the technique. If she had had this understanding decades earlier, she might have had a chance to break through to the Chao Yuan realm.

Now she is only at the eighth level of foundation building, but her energy and blood have begun to decline. At most, she can break through to the ninth level of foundation building.

Unless one has a miraculous chance to obtain a third-level longevity pill or other longevity spiritual objects to replenish one's lifespan, it is impossible to break through to the Chaoyuan period.

The Chaoyuan-stage cultivators would also compete for the third-level longevity pill. Although she considered herself wealthy, she could not compare to the wealth of the Chaoyuan-stage cultivators.

The sunset glows like a burning fire, spreading its passion across the sky. The mountains seem to have secretly drunk the mellow wine that has been stored for many years, and are dyed with a blush.

Facing the last rays of the sun, Ji An landed at the foot of Ningcui Cliff.

He looked up at the sky, watching the inky black flying boat swooping down from the sky, and thought to himself that with the advent of a faster tool, the Fu Bird had indeed been eliminated.

Landing on the open space in front of the bamboo building, Li Lingyu jumped out of the flying boat and pinched her fingers to perform a magic spell. The flying boat shrank to an inch in length and landed in the palm of her hand.

"Senior sister, there's a smile on your face and a sparkle in your eyes. What happy event did you encounter? Tell me about it."

Li Lingyu brushed her hair behind her ears and smiled mysteriously:

"Keep it a secret for now. You'll know tomorrow. I'm going to prepare dinner. We'll talk later."

Ji An scratched his head. Judging from the other party's flight trajectory, he should have returned from his master's cave, and must have been taught some tricks.

He is not curious, everyone has his own circumstances.

Ji An threw a Soul-Feeding Pill to Sha Yan. After swallowing it, the beast cried out happily and flew to the nearby stream to catch fish and shrimp.

Ningcui Cliff is a second-level spiritual vein. The stream contains a lot of spiritual energy and the fish and shrimp are plump.

While his senior sister was preparing food, Ji An entered the bamboo building and sat cross-legged, practicing the secret method of opening meridians to nourish his immortal meridians.

He had no shortage of elixirs and spirit stones over the past year, and he was practicing in a second-level spirit vein. Although there was a stone turtle that was snatching food from him, his cultivation level still grew rapidly.

Every day he practices the secret method of opening the meridians, and now he has completed the opening of 30% of the meridians recorded in the secret method.

Later, as his magic power reaches the ninth level of Qi Refining, the speed of opening up branch meridians can be increased slightly.

By then, as long as he gets the foundation-building pill, he will have a great chance of building his foundation in one go.

Ji An, who was practicing, stopped and suddenly opened his eyes. The abnormal fluctuation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside woke him up.

He opened the forbidden area and walked out of the bamboo building. The bright moon shone down, and the open space was covered with silver-white light, like the calm surface of water.

Not far away, the bamboo forest rustled softly.

"I was wondering why you were so happy. It turns out you've made preparations for building your foundation!"

Ji An thought to himself, he stopped practicing and simply sat on the recliner to feel the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Building a foundation requires constant compression of mana. Through the changes in spiritual energy, you can infer the rhythm of the other party's foundation building, which can be used as a reference in the future.

Speaking of which, he has witnessed three foundation-building events.

Silent all night.

On the morning of the second day, a spiritual pressure broke through the forbidden area and spread outward. Ji An shouted:
"Congratulations, Senior Sister, for getting what you wished for. Since I protected you for a whole night, please remember to help me in the future."

"You're so talkative!" A delicate voice was heard, but it was obvious to hear the joy and excitement in the words.

A few days later, Li Lingyu selected a cave and moved out of Ningcui Cliff. Half a month later, she brought a disciple who wanted to buy a flying boat to complete the transaction. Ji An's storage bag then had 220 more spirit stones.

The foot of the mountain became Ji An's territory, where he improved his cultivation, nourished his immortal veins, practiced spells, tended the medicine garden, and planted spiritual fields. He honed himself at his own pace.

After a year, he felt that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, so he stopped taking the pills.

Use up all your mana once a day, and only rely on meditation to restore it in order to purify it.

Two years later, he had opened up all the branches that could be opened, and the immortal veins formed a well-developed "network" throughout his body, including his head, fingertips, torso, legs and soles of his feet.

At this point, he had made all the preparations he could, except for a foundation-building pill.

At the beginning of the Si hour, outside the medicine garden.

Ji An stood in the Ziyangmu forest, his mind immersed in the stone turtle, his eyes blurred.

[Master: Ji An]

【Daoyun: 0】

[Spiritual Motives: Kan Spirit 1649.6, Gen Spirit 504.8, Zhen Spirit 16.4, Xun Spirit 1437.9, Kun Spirit 1421.3, Qian Spirit 1.5]

[Spell: Withering and Flourishing Technique (61% complete).]

After several years of accumulation, I finally gathered enough inspiration to go all in and condense the Wood Path Seed.

"Refine the spiritual energy and practice the Withering and Flourishing Technique."

Ji An's spiritual consciousness entered the space of the stone turtle and stepped on the Xun position.

As he continued to practice his spells, green grass grew under his feet, gradually growing taller, and finally withered and turned yellow. Growth and death formed a cycle, with the alternation of withering and flourishing, and endless life.

A dark green Tao seed appeared out of nothing and fell into the acupoint.

[Tao Seed·Yi Mu Rejuvenation·(Not a good item), hidden in the Jade Spring Cave, comprehends the true meaning of Yi Mu's Taoist magic 'Life and Death, Withering and Flourishing', and slightly improves Yi Mu's Taoist magic comprehension.]

[Inspiration: Xunling 1437.9 → 69.5]

Only a moment passed in the outside world, and Ji An's eyes became clear again.

At this moment, he felt that the trees were slightly different in his spiritual perception. He seemed to be able to feel the veins inside them and feel the rotation of spiritual energy as the wood element energy flowed through the veins.

He suddenly felt blessed and activated the Withering and Flourishing Technique. The seal changed, his fingers flickered out, leaving a shadow as he reached out to grab forward.

Large, crystal-clear green spots flew out from the woods in front of him and gathered in the palm of his hand, forming a round, emerald green bead the size of a pigeon egg almost in an instant.

Time seemed to have experienced the alternation of summer and winter in an instant. The ankle-deep green grass in the woods turned yellow and withered, giving people a sense of lifelessness and death.

"Can the Art of Withering and Flourishing be so powerful?"

Ji An was shocked. In the past, performing the Dead Wood Technique was a slow process. After casting the spell, more and more green light spots gathered in the palm of his hand, and then the gaseous wood energy began to condense into spiritual liquid and finally solidified.

In the past, when absorbing the vitality of spiritual wood, you had to get close to it, or even stick to it, otherwise the efficiency of absorbing the wood element's energy would be very slow.

Now, as long as he pinches the magic formula and grabs lightly, the wood energy flowing inside the plants will be savagely plundered away, with a kind of domineering power to decide life and death.

The Wood Element symbolizes growth and vigorous vitality, but everything in the world is divided into Yin and Yang, and Jia and Yi Wood represent the Yin and Yang sides of the Wood Element.

Although the two different branches of magic have the common characteristics of the wood element, they also have differences. Yi wood is yin and can plunder the vitality of plants and trees.

Ji An's eyes flashed. He was thinking that there were wood-type monsters among the monsters, so could the Withering and Flourishing Technique be used as an offensive spell?

In addition, the human body contains the five elements. Can the Withering and Flourishing Secret also play a certain role?
His thoughts wandered, and he always felt that he could push open a door soon, but he could never get in.

When he came to his senses, it was almost noon.

"It's not fate."

Ji An smiled slightly, and without thinking any more, he quickly used the Withering and Flourishing Technique to condense round beads.

He closed his right eye, pinched a wooden bead with two fingers, and faced the sun. He could see something flowing faintly inside.

In fact, this is an illusion. The wood element beads condensed by the Great Perfection level of Withering and Flourishing Art have become different, and the wood element energy inside is more lively.

"It's better not to sell these wooden beads to the public in the future."

Muttering to himself, Ji An secretly made hand gestures to break the ban and enter the medicine garden.

He walked to Xiang Yong and said gently:
"Old Xiang, you should be the one to condense the Wood Element Beads from now on, and I'll be the one to cast the Flame Curse on the fire-attributed spiritual plants in the medicine garden."

He has already obtained three Dao seeds, and next he will focus his energy on the Sharp Gold Art and the Flame Curse.

"Ok."

Xiang Yong nodded in agreement. Activating the Withering and Flourishing Technique was too time-consuming, and he felt that the other party must have lost interest in it and patience.

　Current spell level:

　　[Spell: Fire Curse (Perfection 23%)

　　Sharp Gold Technique (81% Perfection)

　　Object Control (58% Perfection)
