Chapter 51 Water Curtain Technique

Ji An made a hand seal, reached forward and grabbed, and the wooden carving on the windowsill flew into his hand, thus mastering the basics of object manipulation.

He changed his hand seals, feeling a light and ethereal energy envelop his entire body. He took a light step forward and darted three meters away, thus mastering the Wind Control Technique.

Fortunately, he took a few steps back while practicing his spells, otherwise he would have inevitably had a close encounter with the wall.

The magic flowed through my body, giving me a slightly cool sensation.

Ji An cast a spell, and a hemispherical water curtain shimmering with a faint blue spiritual light appeared in front of him, marking the beginning of the Water Curtain Technique.

A second later, the water elemental energy was no longer bound by the spell and quickly dissipated, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Finally, Ji An began practicing the Gengjin Finger technique.

Perhaps because of his foundation in the Sharp Metal Technique, this spell seemed the simplest to him.

The magical power in the dantian is mobilized and flows through the immortal meridians along a specific route.

With a gentle tap of his left little finger, a burst of dark golden light erupted, carrying a hint of sharpness.

The whole process was very smooth and without any obstacles.

It looked as if he had practiced for a long time; it didn't seem like he was casting the spell for the first time.

This spell requires relatively little control; you just need to gather the metal elemental energy together as much as possible and then pour it out all at once.

"Hehe, I was born to be a Dharma cultivator!"

With a narcissistic smile, Ji An focused his mind on communicating with the stone turtle.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the blue color on the stone tortoise's back was more subdued, and the dark stripes in the Kan, Xun, and Kun directions were more intense.

"Are you being so accommodating?!"

Seeing the progress of the Water Curtain Technique and the Geng Metal Finger, Ji An exclaimed how satisfying it was.

Countless spells and careful study were not in vain; all of them yielded positive results.

Old tortoise, refine the Kan Spirit, let me see our limits!

The divine sense was pulled into the space of the stone tortoise's laws, and a misty, radiant light rose from the Kan position.

Having not refined spiritual energy for a long time, countless insights poured into Ji An's consciousness like a waterfall, feeling comfortable and wonderful.

Kanling's numbers continued to decrease, while the progress of the Water Curtain Technique continued to increase, progressing from Mastery to Minor Success to Major Success.

When the spell reached its peak, Ji An immediately stopped refining the spiritual energy. At this point, Kan Ling still had 78.2 points remaining.

After leaving the mysterious space of the stone turtle, he once again activated his magic to release the water curtain spell.

A much deeper-colored water curtain protected him, giving the impression that the water was flowing. The spell lasted for a full three seconds before dissipating.

During the duration of the spell, he could even control the position of the moving water curtain.

That feels so good!

Ji An could no longer hide the smile on his lips. The perfect level of the Water Curtain Technique was probably something even the most elite demon-hunting team members hadn't achieved.

However, his smile quickly faded, because he realized that even if he chose defensive spells, others would most likely choose spells of the metal or earth elements.

For example, the Golden Armor Technique uses the metal element spiritual energy to generate a layer of spiritual light that covers the body's surface, which can absorb a lot of damage and lasts for a long time.

Okay, I'm not arrogant.

Ji An lit an incense burner, and after calming his mind and clearing away distracting thoughts, he took a Ginseng Essence Pill and began cultivating by circulating the Pure Source Scripture.

The spiritual energy contained in the pills was quickly refined, but some of it always dissipated from the body before it could be refined.

This is why he is so concerned about improving his aptitude. With higher aptitude, the speed of refining spiritual energy is faster, and the medicinal power will not be wasted when taking medicine, or at least very little will be wasted.

If the Jade Pill hadn't already been so ineffective, he wouldn't have been willing to use the Ginseng Essence Pill for cultivation.

The next morning, Ji An finished his cultivation, ate a bowl of spirit rice and half a bowl of stewed rabbit with dried vegetables, picked up the cloth bag containing seeds, and strode over to Lao Huang's spirit field, feeling refreshed.

At this moment, Old Huang, who was slightly hunched over, was already standing by the edge of the field, his eyes filled with nostalgia and reluctance.

At his feet lay a dusty, gray cloth bag.

Ji An coughed lightly and greeted them gently:

"Good morning, Senior Brother Huang."

Old Huang snapped out of his daze, took out a handful of wooden beads, and handed them over:

"Little An is here! At the beginning of planting the green corn, the spiritual field needs to be replenished with wood element spiritual energy, which will be more conducive to the germination and growth of the seeds."

"Thank you, senior brother. I should have prepared these things."

Ji An accepted the wooden pearl and thanked him respectfully.

"It's nothing, let's begin."

Old Huang straightened up, raised his voice, and said loudly:

"The first few steps are the same as planting yellow sprout rice, using the Flame Spell to clear away weeds and insects."

However, this is a first-tier spirit field, and the weeds and insects in the soil have a stronger resistance to spells, so it will take several attempts to cast the spell.

As he was speaking, Ji An had already cast the Flame Spell.

The spell precisely covered this acre of spiritual field, turning all the weeds, regardless of their height or size, into ashes.

A gentle breeze carries the faint aroma of meat.

So, the Flamefire Spell has reached the advanced level?

Old Huang swallowed his words. His fire magic was still at a minor level, and he needed to cast the spell at least two or three times each time to achieve the same effect.

Suddenly feeling a dryness in his throat, Lao Huang coughed a few times and cleared his throat:

"Let's continue."

First, use the Thick Earth Technique to regulate the earth's energy, then activate the wood elemental spiritual power of the Wood Element Pearl to nourish the land, and then sow the seeds.

When sowing, the spacing between plants should ideally be two fingers wider than when sowing yellow sprout rice.

Ji An nodded and calmly released the Thick Earth Technique. The rich and inclusive spiritual energy spread through the spiritual field, and under the sunlight, the soil shimmered with a faint yellow spiritual light.

Thousands of strands of green spiritual light emanated from the wooden pearl and seeped into the fields.

He manipulated his magic, and handfuls of glistening, emerald-green seeds rained down onto the flat ground.

He practiced this spell diligently during his spare time yesterday.

Because the seeds are extremely light, even in large quantities, controlling their landing point is relatively easy.

"Okay, let's pause for a moment."

Old Huang shouted, pulled the cloth bag at his feet, and walked around the spirit field, spreading the grass ash inside as evenly as possible into the field.

He returned to Ji An's side and said with a smile:

"After the corn is harvested, the stalks are burned and mixed with some other wood ash, which can reduce the damage from aphids to the Linggu (a type of corn) in the first two months."

"I learned this from a senior apprentice. I'll have Feihu send you the jade slip containing my experience in planting green corn tonight."

Ji An looked at Old Huang's smiling face, cupped his hands and bowed:

"Thank you, senior brother."

In the future, he will definitely plant many acres of green corn, and these experiences will be very helpful to him.

Old Huang has done so much; it would be unreasonable not to take good care of Huang Feihu in the future.

"Just a little trick, I hope you won't find it offensive, Brother An."

Old Huang quickly stepped forward and helped Ji An up.
