Chapter 324 Abundant Harvest

Cultivators who have opened up the Mu Palace may have their eyes develop supernatural abilities, which is related to their innate endowment.

Seeing through illusions, penetrating mists, and peering into spirits will grant one of these three supernatural powers; more likely, one will gain none at all.

Although Ji An had prayed in his heart that he would gain some kind of supernatural power, he did not actually have much hope.

Unexpectedly, I gained the supernatural ability to see through the fog—a wonderful surprise!

It's like playing a game without the fog of war; you can then venture out to find places to eat without worry.

Within the sect, one can consume the five elements of metal, fire, and wood, but one must seek out the elements of earth and water.

In fact, one can consume earth-elemental energy, but considering the actual situation of the spiritual veins, the sect strictly prohibits its disciples from consuming earth-elemental energy.

For Ji An, before going out to consume Qi, he needs to completely eliminate the Blood-Transforming Soul-Chasing Curse.

Otherwise, he would be in danger if he encountered the Golden-feathered Eagle Demon King.

Ji An laughed a few times and continued to cast spells on the spirit field.

His ability to pierce through the mist is still weak, but as the core of the Wood Element Divine Palace continues to grow, he will one day be able to pierce through the mists of the Nine Netherworlds.

What is the Nine Netherworld Mist? It is the deepest black mist deep underground.

On the rooftop of a stone house by the cold pool, Han Shan gazed at the distant, lightning-streaked clouds, his eyes filled with boundless longing:

"I wonder if it's possible for me to become a spirit farmer as powerful as my master!"

In his eyes, his master was like an immortal who could summon wind and rain and was proficient in all planting techniques.

He had heard Wei Songtao mention that his master had perfected the planting techniques for the Foundation Establishment stage.

Such a well-rounded and outstanding Lingnong is unique in the entire Western Continent.

"I'm not trying to discourage you, junior brother, but you have no chance without working your hardest. Your master is a cultivator in the Chaoyuan stage!"

Your clever and quick-witted senior sister has a very good chance of becoming a powerful spirit farmer like Master.

Lin Lan shook her head slightly, her eyes filled with pride.

"Hmph! So what if he has one more advanced-level spell than me!"

Do you know that my Flame Spell is almost at its perfect level?!

Han Shan knew his senior sister's arrogant temperament. After he had mastered the Flame Fire Spell in just one year, he felt her faint hostility.

"That's impossible!"

Lin Lan exclaimed in surprise that the other party had mastered the technique in just one year. Judging from this speed, it was impossible for him to have raised the Flamefire Curse to the point of near breakthrough.

"Why not? I've had several moments of sudden enlightenment while practicing the Flame Spell! Have you?"

Han Shan spoke arrogantly, but in reality, he had only had one sudden enlightenment, and his claim that his magic was about to break through to the perfect level was just empty talk.

He was indignant about the condescending tone the other person used when speaking, and his aim was to strike at the other person's overflowing sense of superiority!

Lin Lan was speechless; she had never had a sudden epiphany.

'Could it be that my junior brother possesses a fire-elemental constitution? Oh no, I can't maintain my senior sister's authority anymore!'

Seeing the change in her expression, Han Shan felt a surge of satisfaction. He leaped off the roof and returned to his stone house.

Ji An flew to the Crimson Cloud Pine Forest on a cloud and released the Azure Dragon Awakening Technique, the Zhu Rong Divine Fire Spell, and the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Vitality Technique in sequence.

There are a total of fifty acres of spiritual fields here, and three spells can cover them all.

There are now 404 second-grade red pine trees and 96 medium-grade sacred pines here.

This year's yield of low-grade pine nuts reached an astonishing 140,000 jin, and the yield of medium-grade pine nuts reached 38,000 jin. Earning a small profit couldn't be easier.

As the number of second-tier Crimson Cloud Pines continues to increase, the density of this pine forest is decreasing. Now there are only five hundred trees, and the dream of all of them reaching the second-tier spirit wood level has been realized.

Ji An nodded proudly and strolled to the side of the Purple Fire Gourd field.

Through continuous seed improvement, a total of sixty gourds were planted in this half-acre spiritual field, half of which reached the second-tier grade.

However, no second-tier mid-grade gourd vines have appeared yet; it's uncertain whether this is even possible.

After checking the growth of the Purple Fire Gourd, Ji An went to the nest of the Fire Crystal Ants and took out more than a dozen red wooden trays, each the size of a washbasin, from a nearby cave.

He extended his divine sense to communicate with the queen ant.

Soon, the strong soldier ants bravely crawled out and dragged the tray into the nest.

A moment later, the tray filled with pine honey was dragged out by the soldier ants.

Ji An took out the pine honey and put it into a specially made storage bag.

He left the anthill, activated the mimicry array, and entered the passage to the lava pool.

As usual, three spells were released. When the spiritual light emitted by the Zhu Rong Divine Fire Spell rose, the Azure Lotus Burning Heart Fire emerged from the lotus seedpod of the green leaves and red lotus.

The flames were more than twice the size of when they were first discovered, and the light was much brighter.

The wisps of fire-elemental spiritual light were devoured by the Azure Lotus Heart-Burning Flame, the flames flickering as if they were very pleased.

On the other side, the nameless precious plant is now two feet tall, with golden patterns swirling on its trunk and emerald green pinnate compound leaves the size of half a palm, radiating a precious glow.

When the fire elemental light transformed from Ding fire to Bing fire, the patterns on the tree trunk suddenly lit up, and the temperature in the magma pool rose a few degrees.

Ji An hovered beside Bao Zhi and whispered:

"What exactly are you, and what is your purpose?"

He knew it was a good thing, but he didn't know what it did, which always made him feel restless and anxious.

After a short while, Ji An felt a slight discomfort in his immortal meridians, so he channeled his magic power and flew away.

Since he has never cultivated any fire-elemental techniques, his immortal veins are not very tolerant of fire-elemental spiritual energy. In addition, the environment here contains fire evil, so he still cannot stay here for long.

After leaving the cave, Ji An rode a cloud to the Copper Pattern Mulberry Field.

Originally, six acres of Xuan Ye Sword Bamboo were planted, with a total of 240 spirit bamboo plants, including 40 mid-grade second-tier spirit bamboo plants, and the rest were all second-tier spirit bamboo plants.

Even so, bamboo leaves cannot meet the sect's needs. Those weapon refiners are now very willing to use bamboo leaves to nurture the spirituality of their swords.

At the request of the sect, and also in order to obtain more benefits, he recently planned to cultivate fifty acres of spiritual fields.

There was no other way but to plant it in a second-tier low-grade spirit field.

Ten acres of copper-patterned mulberry trees were felled, and two acres of black-leaf sword bamboo were planted. In the future, the entire spirit field will be planted with sword bamboo.

Ji An activated the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Yuan Technique, and amidst the flashing light, the earth's veins trembled, spreading out a profound and nourishing magical intent.

Silver light shimmered in the mulberry fields, and golden light shone brightly in the sacred forest.

The branches and leaves swayed, and a clanging sound rang out, as if there were flashes of swords and shadows.

This sacred field covers a total of 1,000 mu, of which 940 mu are planted with copper-patterned mulberry trees.

Among them, there are 25 second-grade medium-quality copper-patterned mulberry trees and 512 low-grade spirit mulberry trees.

Similar to the situation in the mulberry fields, as the number of second-order mulberry trees increases, the density of the mulberry fields will eventually decrease to forty trees per acre.

If there's too much, it could potentially affect the earth's veins.

This is not what Ji An wanted to see; he still wanted to cultivate the main spiritual vein of Crimson Flame Peak to the second-tier superior grade!

After performing the spell on the mulberry field, he went to the underground cave.

The rock-armored bear in the nearby cave was already snoring loudly. This beast tamer had advanced to the third level of Foundation Establishment, and the fusion of fire and earth element bloodlines had been very successful.

Ji An activated the Earth Escape Technique, his figure flashing twice as he arrived beside the Earth Spirit Fruit Tree.

There are a total of ten second-tier Earth Spirit Fruit trees planted here, six of which belong to him.

All the spirit trees have been cultivated to the second level, with four being of medium grade. He and Liu Suyun each have two.

Upon seeing its master arrive, the spirit-seeking mouse shook its fluffy fur and let out a welcoming squeak:

"Squeak squeak".

Now, it is a demon beast at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.

Ji An squatted down, stroked its fur, and pondered how to raise his first tamed beast.

The secret techniques he inherited from his father have exhausted their potential, and he needs to obtain new cultivation methods from the sect.

However, he did not intend to exchange it from the Transmission Hall, but instead planned to go to Yunhe Mountain.

He was able to become acquainted with He Yuhan, a senior disciple from the Yunhe Mountain lineage, and also got to know her eldest disciple, Li Minghui.

He didn't need to go to the Ministry of Agriculture tomorrow, so he planned to take care of this matter.

Ji An activated the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Yuan Technique, and a gentle spiritual light shone forth.

The Soul-Nourishing Tree swayed gently in the moonlight, its black leaves emitting a purple halo.

The spirit tree is now four feet tall, with lush branches and leaves.

However, it will only be useful to him if he is cultivated to the second level, so there is still a long way to go.

The next day at dawn.

Ji An stepped out of the cave and rode a green auspicious cloud to the side of the Youyue Cangyu Tree.

He stood casually facing east; now that he was absorbing wood and circulating qi, he no longer needed to adopt a specific posture.

Exhale forcefully with your mouth slightly open, then inhale naturally.

A cool, wood-elemental energy flowed into his throat, illuminating all the meridians in his liver and making his core shimmer with emerald light.

He has been in the Chaoyuan stage for six years, and the core of his divine palace is about half the size of his liver.

Now his cultivation has improved, and he can feel the progress every day, with his life force fire becoming increasingly vigorous.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to break through the first stage of the Chaoyuan era within ten years.

After absorbing six strands of Qi, Ji An flew to the Fire Elemental Plant Garden and sat cross-legged near the Dragon Blood Tree.

In this orchard, there are eight second-grade low-level dragon blood trees and two mid-grade trees; six second-grade low-level spirit apricot trees and four mid-grade trees.

There are also sixteen mid-grade second-tier spirit peaches, nineteen low-grade second-tier peaches, and fifteen top-grade first-tier peaches.

It is no exaggeration to say that Crimson Flame Peak is now one of the most fertile mountains.

With the abundance of second-tier spiritual plants covering the mountain, Ji An's rate of wealth accumulation was unmatched by any other cultivator in the Chaoyuan stage.

In a few years, he will become the 'richest man' during the Chaoyuan era.

Ji An sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the Five Elements Wheel.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged wildly upon him, and various colors of the five elements' spiritual light surrounded him.

The Wood element's aura was a vibrant, verdant green; the Water element's aura was an even deeper, darker black; and the Earth and Fire elements' auras were also brighter than usual.

Within his body, the five internal organs revealed five kinds of radiance, and the veins on the surface of each internal organ shone and flickered in a cyclical manner. The ten Dao seeds in the acupoints and their corresponding organs flickered simultaneously.

Currently, about 40% of the veins on the surface of the spleen and about 60% of the veins on the surface of the kidneys have been opened up.

The lung veins were the least visible, barely half full, which was unexpected for Ji An, because he had not absorbed the metal element spiritual energy when he cultivated his technique.

The current achievements are entirely the result of the passive creation of the Five Elements circulation.

Given this characteristic, Ji An decided to open the Gold Element Divine Palace one last time.

Spiritual energy flows through the immortal veins, and the Dao seed emits mysterious substances that merge into them.

When spiritual energy is refined into magical power and flows into the dantian, the flames of primordial life flicker and the life force spreads.
