Chapter 331 Vermilion Bird Flame Grass Pill
To comprehend the Way of Metal to an extremely profound level is not much easier than a sword cultivator comprehending sword intent.
Among the cultivators in the sect who are at the Chaoyuan stage, there are quite a few who choose the Gengjin Spirit-Slaying Sword technique, but currently only Li Haoran has mastered the technique to a high level.
The combined value of a Golden Body and a Heavenly Grade Qualification is no joke.
In Ji An's eyes, this spell was essentially the same as the Sharp Metal Technique, both involving the manipulation of tiny golden rays.
The Gengjin Zhanling Sword is an ultra-high-end version of the Ruijin Technique, with its golden light being even finer, resembling countless flying swords.
These 'flying swords' form a torrent, like billions of flying swords being launched simultaneously.
Ji An began practicing his spells, channeling his magical power, golden light swirling around his fingers.
Ji An glanced at the golden light out of the corner of his eye and felt that the incomparably sharp magical intent was spreading, and there was also a trace of the aura of extinction and decay.
Like the biting wind when heavy snow falls in the dead of winter, it exudes a chill that freezes the soul.
A golden light flashed and was emitted in a fan shape, striking the rocks and immediately creating countless tiny holes the size of pinheads.
Ji An reached out and gently touched it, immediately getting his hand covered in crumbs.
This is the manifestation of the annihilating aura of the Metal element; even inanimate stones will be destroyed by this aura.
He speculated that if a spell was practiced to its fullest potential and could hit the enemy's heart, even a mere wisp of energy could cause the heart to die instantly.
The golden light emitted by the Gengjin Spirit-Slaying Sword sometimes converged at a single point and sometimes dispersed, changing at will.
It can attack a single target or a large group of targets.
Ji An continued practicing tirelessly until he had almost no magical power left in his body.
He returned to his cave and entered the herb garden, where he unleashed the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Vitality Technique, the Azure Dragon Awakening Insect Technique, and the Cloud Dragon Spreading Rain Technique in sequence.
Yellow spiritual light spread, causing tremors deep within the earth's veins and nourishing the profound Dharma essence.
A lifelike little azure dragon, its scales shimmering, emerged from the void, its azure radiance falling like rain, and an aura of prosperity spreading throughout the land.
A dark cloud spread out, flashing white lightning within it. Raindrops, as clear as white jade and shimmering with spiritual light, fell, their moisturizing and purifying fragrance refreshing the soul.
The branches and leaves of the spiritual plant stretched out in the rain, with faint light occasionally appearing.
The black leaves of the Star Soul Grass are long and narrow like swords, with silver spots that resemble stars adorning the night sky.
The blood jujube has grown to the size of a fist, and the green color on the peel has faded, while the blood-red stripes have become deep and dark.
Once the surface of the fruit is completely covered with blood, its medicinal life can reach four hundred years.
The petiole of the Tianyuan ginseng has three leaves, and its medicinal age has reached three hundred years.
In other words, this medicinal herb is three hundred years old.
According to Ji An's calculations, these medicinal herbs will mature gradually within twenty years, reaching the standard for refining the Peiyuan Pill.
It's unknown which disciples will benefit from his influence and receive the Qi-Nourishing Pill ahead of time.
The next day at dawn, Ji An emerged from his cave.
He gazed at the mountains and forests shrouded in a thin mist and felt a sense of disharmony.
He no longer needed to consciously consume wood and circulate qi, and this was not the time to practice the Formless Wheel of Reincarnation Sutra. He felt a sense of idleness.
After a moment of stunned silence, he rode the fiery cloud to the mountaintop, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate his magic, starting to open up the Earth Element Divine Palace.
The magical power flowed from the dantian and merged into the spleen.
Since the Wood Element Divine Palace was already complete, his liver had turned blue, and his spleen was glowing with yellow spiritual light, so there were two kinds of light in his body.
The veins occupy half of the surface area of the spleen, resembling the lines of sand dunes in the desert, giving the impression of a landscape full of ravines.
As the method was activated, the light from the vein patterns became increasingly dazzling.
Within the acupoint, the spiritual light of the Earth elements (戊土 and 己土) pulsed, and an inexplicable aura merged into the flowing magical power.
As the first rays of dawn shone on the summit of Crimson Flame Peak, Ji An immediately sensed the aura of the rising sun.
He immediately stopped practicing the method and stood up to face the rising sun.
Open your mouth slightly, press your tongue against your lower teeth, and exhale slowly, making a long "ha" sound.
This method is to expel impurities from the heart. Once all the impurities are expelled from the body, one naturally inhales.
The warm air was inhaled into the mouth, and the body instinctively swallowed it, finding it sweet and delicious.
Golden flame patterns lit up at the heart, storing a wisp of morning sun energy, and warmth spread throughout the body with each heartbeat.
He absorbed three strands of qi in succession and slowly finished his practice.
Ji An rode the fiery cloud, as beautiful and bright as the sunset, to the stone house at the foot of the mountain and activated the teleportation array to reach Ningcui Cliff.
The light on the magic circle distorted, and the next moment he arrived at Ningcui Cliff.
As usual, he entered the adjacent cave and bowed, saying:
"Greetings, Master. Greetings, Senior Sister Ge and Senior Brother Liu. Is there anything special happening today?"
It's strange that so many people are gathered here so early in the morning.
Ge Ying waved and smiled:
"Sit down and talk to me, we were just talking about you!"
Ji An sat in the chair and asked curiously:
"What are you talking about me about?"
"They both now take you as their role model, hoping to catch up with you in terms of cultivation."
They are now preparing to exchange for Qi Cultivation Pills at the Treasure Pavilion, and are about to break through to the Chaoyuan stage today.
Ge Ying was in a great mood, her face beaming as she spoke. She was about to witness the prosperity of Ningcui Cliff!
If she could see these two disciples break through to the Chaoyuan stage, she would die without regret.
Ji An's eyes widened suddenly, and he cupped his hands in greeting:
Congratulations, senior brothers and sisters!
It was quite a joyous occasion that the two of them exchanged pills for breakthroughs on the same day.
"Haha, I can't match my junior brother's speed, but we'll soon be close to the difference in cultivation level!"
Ge Ying said with a grin, secretly relieved, thinking to herself:
'Finally, I can catch my breath.'
Her two closest junior brothers have been at the Chaoyuan stage for over ten years, and Li Haoran even broke through to the second stage of the Chaoyuan stage two years ago.
Although she kept telling herself not to be impatient, she would always feel the pressure at some unexpected moment.
Ji An chuckled and brushed it off.
There won't be a major difference in skill level, but the difference in minor skill level will likely always exist.
He recounted the circumstances he encountered during his breakthrough, and the four chatted for a while before Ge Luoying and Liu Yu took their leave.
After the two left, Ji An whispered:
"I have some good news to tell my master today: I am now a cultivator at the second stage of the Chaoyuan realm."
"ah?!"
Ge Ying was stunned for a moment, then the wrinkles on her face smoothed out, and she said excitedly:
"You are not yet eighty years old, and your lifespan is five hundred years. You broke through by cultivating the Green Wood Everlasting Spring Technique, and your lifespan can reach about six hundred years."
"Excellent! You will surely have a place among the future Golden Core cultivators of the sect!"
She felt incredibly lucky to have taken on such an outstanding disciple!
Ge Ying felt a pang of regret again and said:
"The only regret is that I won't live to see that day."
Ji An's lips moved, unsure how to comfort him.
He could now clearly sense the decaying aura emanating from his master, like a withered spiritual tree.
Ge Ying sensed her disciple's feelings and waved her hand, saying:
"Don't try to comfort me. I'm already very content with my life."
Seeing one disciple after another break through to the Chaoyuan stage, and all of them showing promise of becoming Golden Core cultivators, she was overjoyed beyond words.
After bidding farewell to his master, Ji An left the cave.
He took out a golden communication sword, activated it, and then flew to the Ministry of Agriculture on a cloud.
Outside the hall, Lin Lan and Han Shan were already waiting.
Half a year ago, the two of them broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage and were assigned by Ji An to be stewards of the Department of Agriculture. Their daily work was to guide the cultivation of Qi Refining stage disciples.
The two disciples bowed:
"Greetings, Master."
Ji An nodded slightly and said:
"Come in and talk."
With that, he made a hand seal to break the magical barrier and entered the main hall.
The three of them sat down, and Ji An said:
"Have you two come here today because you have some questions about your cultivation?"
After the two disciples broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Ji An suggested that they choose different cultivation methods based on their actual situations.
Lin Lan chose the Green Wood Everlasting Technique because she had the best aptitude for wood-based magic and could be primarily responsible for cultivating wood-based spiritual herbs and fruit trees in the future.
Han Shan chose the Crimson Fire Danxia Technique. Before breaking through, he had already practiced the Flame Fire Curse to perfection, and would cultivate fire-elemental spiritual plants in the future.
To be honest, Ling Nong's choice of the Crimson Fire Danxia Technique as his cultivation method seems somewhat incongruous.
However, for the better development of his disciples, Ji An would not force them to practice the Wood Element Technique.
Lin Lan and Ji An asked each of their accumulated questions, and Ji An patiently answered them, explaining any difficulties they encountered.
Chaoyang Peak, Wuji Hall.
Master Zhengyang caught the flying golden sword carrying the message, extended his divine sense to read the information within, and then laughed loudly:
"That's really good. The time it took to break through was only two years longer than Hao Ran's."
Perhaps in my lifetime I will see several disciples break through to the Golden Core stage!
He was very satisfied; the situation in the sect was much better than he had expected.
By this calculation, the sect now has four Golden Core seed cultivators.
Master Zhengyang took out a golden communication sword and activated it, then closed his eyes to rest.
A moment later, Jia Yu entered the main hall, bowed, and said:
"Ancestor, what are your orders?"
The patriarch rarely contacts him on his own initiative, so the fact that he used the golden sword to communicate this time must mean that he has something extremely important to tell him.
Master Zhengyang nodded and said:
"Ji An achieved perfection in the Wood Element Divine Palace yesterday, successfully breaking through to the second stage of the Chaoyuan realm."
When you trade with the cultivators of Fallen Maple Valley, purchase more Vermilion Bird Flame Grass Pills.
How many pills can the other disciples take every three years?
"Disciple understands, and will certainly follow this in the next transaction."
Other cultivators in the Chaoyuan stage who are in the process of expanding their Fire Element Divine Palace can only obtain three Vermilion Bird Flame Grass Pills every three years.
Jia Yu's expression became very unnatural. The first divine palace he opened was the Palace of Heart Fire.
It took forty-two years from the start of his breakthrough to the Chaoyuan stage to the breakthrough to the second-order realm.
Compared to his junior brothers Ji An and Li Haoran, he seemed far too stupid.
He understood that Junior Brother Ji's status in the patriarch's eyes had risen once again.
Master Zhengyang pondered and said:
"Based on this, the supply of Ji'an will be increased by fifteen every three years."
"Yes, ma'am."
