He closed his eyes, then opened them, and the world had changed. Ji An, carrying a stone turtle with Bagua patterns, rose from obscurity.
Minor Rain Arts, Spring Breeze Rain Transformation Ar...
Chapter 34 The Lesser Cloud Rain Technique Perfected
Ji An was shaken and immediately realized that it must have been caused by a special change in the Lesser Cloud Rain Technique.
He immediately focused his mind on his dantian and connected with the stone tortoise.
[Master: Ji An]
[Taoist Rhyme: 0]
[Spiritual Insight: Kan Spirit 0.8, Kun Spirit 0.3, Xun Spirit 0.1]
[Spell: Minor Cloud Rain Spell (Perfect 1%)]
Thick Earth Technique (Mastery 66%)
The Art of Withering and Flourishing (Mastery 25%)
Flame Spell (Mastery 53%)
[Sharp Metal Formula (Small Success 69%)]
After Ji An laughed three times, he began to concentrate on his studies, having truly reached the perfect level of the Lesser Cloud Rain Technique.
Kan, in the Five Elements theory, corresponds to water and symbolizes flow, change, purification, and nourishment.
The special aura contained in the spiritual rain just now should be a manifestation of the property of water nourishing all things.
However, he hadn't expected that the Lesser Cloud Rain Technique at its perfected state could actually accelerate the growth of the Spirit Valley Talisman Grass.
Li Changfeng said that when magic reaches its perfect state, it is skill that is close to the Dao. He didn't believe it before, but now he does!
Thinking of this, he was very excited.
If one practices the planting spell to perfection, one can glimpse the true meaning of the Five Elements. So, if he practices the Lesser Cloud and Rain spell to true perfection, what will he comprehend?
However, his enthusiasm quickly subsided as he wondered if his rapid progress in the art of magic might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
He now knows that advanced magic and perfected magic are completely different concepts, hence this concern.
However, since the stone turtle is in its own Qihai acupoint, it should not be discovered by others.
He once faced a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was completely unaware of his presence, which proved this point.
Therefore, as long as there is a reasonable explanation, he can also make public the magic he has mastered at the perfect level.
Judging from the sect's various rules and regulations, the higher-ups are quite willing to cultivate talented disciples.
Come to think of it, after the sect migrated to the Western Continent, it was able to fight its way out from dozens of competitors and continue to grow stronger. If it were to engage in internal conspiracies and intrigues, how could it cope with the storms outside?
The area where the sect is located is a buffer zone for war, and the higher-ups must be well aware of this. Under heavy external pressure, they must unite internally, otherwise they would have fallen apart long ago.
Ji An made up his mind: if he could find a reasonable explanation, he would reveal that he had mastered the Perfected Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique.
Showing talent will inevitably lead to focused training; putting aside everything else, just having him cultivate on a spiritual vein would be a huge win.
The stone turtle absorbs more spiritual energy, allowing the cheat system to be utilized to a greater extent.
Thinking of this, Ji An took out the talisman bird and hurriedly infused it with spiritual power. Once the talisman bird grew larger, he couldn't wait to ride on it and fly towards the Biyue Market.
Of all the people he knew, Wei Songnian was the most knowledgeable and experienced. When it came to getting information, Wei Songnian was always the right person to ask.
It was morning, so the other person shouldn't be at the market yet, but he was itching to go and didn't want to wait until after noon.
The talisman bird was a gift from Zhao Mengyao, and now it is old and always makes a squeaking sound when it flies.
The memory of falling into the lake last time resurfaced in Ji An's mind, and his anxious mood immediately decreased by half.
When he arrived at the Biyue Market, his mood completely calmed down.
Since it was still early, he simply landed in a deserted spot by the lake and began practicing the Sharp Metal Technique on his own.
Metal and fire magic have always been the most powerful offensive spells, and since there was no corresponding spiritual source, Ji An had no choice but to cultivate them on his own.
The miraculous changes brought about by the advancement of the Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique to perfection made him realize that practicing these basic spells would also be helpful in the future, at least in assisting him to comprehend the true meaning of the Five Elements.
No path in this world is wasted; every step counts.
Golden threads burst forth from his fingers, gathering and dispersing at will. Occasionally, all the threads would coalesce into one place, emitting a sharp killing intent as they shot out.
Wei Songnian counted the talisman paper and ink, and said with a smile:
"140 sheets of first-grade low-level talisman paper, 48 sheets of first-grade mid-level talisman paper, and 6 bottles of first-grade low-level talisman ink, totaling 734 spirit crystals."
My junior brother's harvest this season is outstanding among the old Lingnong.
"Would you like some more Jade Pills?"
In his eyes, this junior brother had the brightest future among the few people he deliberately befriended.
The concentration of demon beast blood essence will always vary, and making talisman ink is not easy. It requires a high level of spiritual sense to sense the subtle changes in the spiritual energy in the talisman ink and to fine-tune the proportions of the formula.
Many old spiritual farmers only know how to make talisman paper, and the talisman ink they mix is completely unusable.
More importantly, my junior brother is completely different from those old spirit farmers who desperately accumulate crystals.
Not only did they sell him materials, but they were also willing to spend crystals. Apart from the scions of powerful families, he had never seen such a generous disciple.
"Hmm, thirty Jade Pills," Ji An said, taking out two spirit stones. He would prioritize his cultivation speed before considering accumulating spirit stones.
"Alright," Wei Songnian happily accepted the spirit stones, packed the thirty pills and the change into crystals, and handed them out.
In one round trip, he made a net profit of about two spirit stones. Wei Songnian said he would like to meet such customers every day.
Ji An gathered the pills and spirit crystals into his sleeve and asked:
"Senior brother, you are knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of any treasures that can accelerate the comprehension of spells?"
"That's a lot, but if you want treasures to speed up your spell mastery, do you want other people to live?!"
"Junior brother, you must have been born with a powerful spirit and exceptional comprehension; otherwise, your progress in cultivation techniques wouldn't have been so rapid."
Wei Songnian started counting on his fingers and began to speak eloquently:
"You know about the water element essence that Lao Huang refines every day, right?"
This thing can not only enhance the spirituality of magical artifacts and treasures, but if we refine it, it can also improve our understanding of water-attribute spells for a certain period of time. The essence of the five elements has a similar effect.
Enlightenment Tea is a spiritual tea that can improve one's comprehension in a short period of time after consumption. It is of great help in comprehending cultivation techniques and practicing spells. The higher the grade of Enlightenment Tea, the stronger its effect.
It is said that long-term use can nourish the soul and enhance the strength of consciousness.
Soul-Nourishing Wood, a spiritual wood of second rank or higher, can be crafted into magical artifacts and treasures to nourish the soul and temporarily enhance comprehension. Practicing spells during this time will naturally be twice as effective.
"Since we're talking about magical artifacts and treasures, I once heard my senior uncle from the sect talk about a kind of companion spiritual treasure that is conceived in the womb at the same time as the cultivator, and often has incredible power."
These cultivators who possess innate spiritual treasures are even rarer than those with Heavenly-grade aptitude.
Wei Songnian clicked his tongue repeatedly and let out a long sigh:
"If I had a companion spiritual treasure, what would Foundation Establishment and Yuan Rebirth be? Golden Core would be my starting point."
Every time I think about this, my heart aches. It's all fate; how unfair is God!
"Senior Brother Wei, perhaps your innate spiritual treasure hasn't manifested yet!"
A fellow cultivator nearby joked.
"Go away, go away. The companion spirit treasure manifested at birth. Watch your stall."
Ji An's eyes narrowed, and he said softly:
"If the news of the companion spirit treasure is leaked, wouldn't the owner be in danger?"
Wei Songnian shook his head:
"The companion spirit treasure is connected to the cultivator's bloodline and is only useful to the cultivator who was born with it. Even if someone else takes it away, they can't use it."
Otherwise, wouldn't all the innate spiritual treasures have been seized by those powerful cultivators?
