Chapter 367 Pijin Mansion, Mid-Grade Xin Metal Dao Seed
Outside the sect, the willows on the riverbank turned green and then yellow, then yellow and then green again.
Time flows quietly like a river, and two years have passed.
Inside the quiet chamber of the Crimson Flame Peak cave, wisps of smoke curled from the incense burner, filling the air with the fragrance of incense.
Ji An sat cross-legged on the black calming grass futon, concentrating intently on activating the magic.
The magical power in his dantian gushed out like a spring, flowing rapidly through his immortal meridians.
Within the Taiyuan acupoint, the Geng metal Dao seed shone brightly, while within the Yunmen acupoint, the Xin metal Dao seed emitted radiance, with mysterious power continuously flowing into the magical energy.
At this moment, the veins in his lungs were gleaming, and magical power was frantically poured into them.
One hundred and eight veins have been opened up, and Ji An is now opening up the Jin Mansion.
He lost track of time, his lungs radiating a cool, clear light like the bright moon.
After an unknown amount of time, a phantom image of a lung, the size of a soybean and shimmering with a silvery luster, suddenly solidified and swallowed the incoming magical power whole.
The metal palace of the lungs has been successfully opened!
In the dantian, a new layer of flame suddenly appeared on the outer side of the primordial fire.
It was a thin layer of incandescent white light, yet it was more dazzling than the other flame layers.
Blue, red, yellow, and white flames danced and shone, and the stone tortoise moved nimbly, occasionally approaching the primordial fire and exhaling a breath of pure energy.
It exhaled four breaths of spiritual energy before calming down again.
The flames of all colors grew stronger together, and the white flames immediately became much thicker. Ji An's spiritual power also increased at this moment.
He has now discovered that the innermost layer of azure flames can no longer grow stronger under normal circumstances, and only becomes slightly more vigorous when the stone tortoise spews out azure spiritual energy.
Normally, the Azure Flame would send spiritual energy to the Crimson Flame, which would be nourished and grow stronger at all times.
He had a bold idea: if the crimson flames reached their limit, they would nourish the yellow flames.
At this moment, it is as if the crimson flame and the blue flame are nourishing the yellow flame together.
Ji An's mind connected with the stone tortoise, and lines of writing appeared in his sea of consciousness.
The handwriting is like ink marks floating in clear water, light yet concentrated.

[The Dao Seed - Refined Gold (Mid-Grade): Hidden in the Yunmen Cave, it allows one to comprehend the true meaning of the Xin Metal Dao spell 'True Gold in Fire,' enhancing their understanding of Xin Metal Dao spells.]
The Mixed Gold Armor Spell reached the Great Perfection level a few months ago, so there is one less spell that needs to be practiced frequently.
Ji An let out a joyful laugh. His current situation was different from others. In terms of cultivation, he was only at the third stage of the Chaoyuan realm, but he had already opened up four divine palaces and could consume metal and circulate qi.
He was very curious: if the food-based qi-boosting strengthens the core of the lungs, what will happen to the core of the earth-elemental spirit? Will it be possible to skip the earth elemental ...
However, despite his curiosity, he had no intention of putting it into practice.
He will choose to consume metal and circulate qi, but he will perfect the core of the earth element divine palace before perfecting the core of the metal palace.
The order in which one opens a divine palace is arranged according to the five elements' mutual generation. He wouldn't experiment on himself; if he made a mistake in his cultivation, it would be too late to regret it.
Ji An stood up and said softly:
"The Golden Palace is complete. The next goal is to establish the Water God Palace!"
In the future, when I travel, I can eat whatever resources I come across.
This feeling is absolutely amazing, and its main feature is that it leaves nothing but barren land wherever it goes!
He was very much looking forward to what a grand occasion it would be when all five offices were opened.
He sat down in the chair and examined his body internally. Under the passive nourishment over the years, the veins on the surface of his kidneys had developed into 65 veins, accounting for more than 90%.
Once seven more veins are opened, we can begin to develop the inner layer of veins.
At this moment, Ji An had a premonition that the opening of the Water God's Palace would go very smoothly.
This feeling came from nowhere, but he firmly believed it.
As the bright moon rose in the east, Ji An completed the spell on the spirit field and returned to his cave to cast a spell on the medicine garden.
He unleashed the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Technique, nourishing the profound Dharma essence and causing the earth's veins to tremble.
As the earth's energy is harnessed, the fish-scale patterned soil shimmers with a jade-like luster, like glass under sunlight.
Ji An changed his hand seals, and his magical power flowed out from his dantian, tinged with a touch of blue.
An arm-length azure dragon appeared, its roars echoing in the narrow space. Emerald light shone on the stone walls, and a vibrant spring atmosphere burst forth.
The flourishing of the Dharma and the rising of the Wood element fully reveal the vibrant prosperity of the Wood element.
After the Wood Palace and Fire Palace reached their respective peaks, the aura of the Azure Dragon Awakening Technique and the Zhurong Divine Fire Curse became even more profound, perhaps due to the superimposed effects that Ji An was unaware of.
In the current medicinal garden, the Star Soul Grass has reached the age of four hundred years and has already been harvested.
This medicinal herb has a lifespan of four hundred years. If it is not harvested, it will slowly decay and its medicinal effects will be greatly reduced.
The elixir that nourishes the lungs and blood is the Blood Luo Fruit, which is now as big as a clay pot and a size larger than the elixir cultivated by other cultivators.
The green on the peel was barely perceptible, and the blood-red stripes shone with a crystalline luster.
In a few years, the blood jujube will be fully ripe.
On the petiole of the Tianyuan ginseng, there are already six ovate leaves about the size of a fingernail, with serrated edges.
Its medicinal life is estimated to be over 450 years, and it will mature after the blood berries have matured.
Once these medicinal herbs are harvested, we'll have tens of thousands of minor merits in hand!
Ji An activated the Cloud Dragon Rain-Making Technique, causing dark clouds to churn and lightning to flash, followed by a shower of crystal-clear, white raindrops.
As the moisturizing scent spread, water vapor rose up.
He nodded in satisfaction, finally feeling that his hard work was about to pay off.
"Hmm, what should we plant in this medicinal herb garden in the future?"
He left with his hands behind his back. The earth vein of this medicinal garden is a node of the main spiritual vein, and it will soon be upgraded to the second-tier high-grade.
It would be a waste to plant more medicinal herbs like Tianyuan Ginseng in the future.
The next day.
Ji An ate a few strands of wood elemental energy for breakfast in the early morning, and then went to the top of Crimson Flame Peak to practice his magic.
Earth Escape Technique, Fire Dragon Burning Heaven Technique, and Profound Nether True Qi were all used with ease. The sky turned a pale white, with golden-purple clouds embedded in the gray-black sky.
As the sun was about to rise, Ji An stopped practicing his earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that involves moving earth to create steel) and instead used his finger-pointing technique to create steel, with yellow spiritual light continuously spreading across the rocks.
As the first rays of sunlight shone on the mountain peaks, he immediately faced the sun and uttered a "ha" sound.
The turbid air in the heart is expelled, and the body instinctively inhales, swallowing a wisp of the sun's fire element, which gathers in the Fire Element Divine Palace.
Last night, the wisp of wood fire absorbed merged with the golden sun fire, and the fire energy was absorbed by the divine palace, producing a trace of heart fluid that flowed into the dantian along the immortal meridian.
Crimson drops of heart fluid fell, and the crimson flames of the primordial life fire suddenly blazed brightly.
Although Ji An's Fire Divine Palace has been perfected, the growth of his primordial fire has not yet reached its limit, and there is still great potential to be tapped.
He let out another "Heh" sound, consuming a wisp of the Sun's Bing Fire, and continuously the essence of his heart flowed into his dantian, causing the fire of his primordial life to rise.
As the sun rose higher, Ji An finished his meal and leisurely rode the clouds to the stone house at the foot of the mountain.
Big Yellow strolled out of the cave with a lazy gait and even yawned.
The Crimson Flame Peak at dawn is peaceful and beautiful.
Ji An replaced the spirit stones in the teleportation array and then activated the array.
He could assign these tasks to Wei Songtao and his team, but when it came to matters involving safety, he never delegated them to anyone.
Twisted light flickered, and a gray passage appeared; Ji An had arrived at Ningcui Cliff.
He entered his master's cave and said gently:
"Greetings, Master. You look very well today."
He spoke words against his will, his heart filled with sorrow. His master's face was gaunt, his white hair dull, and his eyes cloudy and dim.
He still remembers that when they first met, his master only had a few faint crow's feet on his face.
“Sit down and talk,” Ge Ying said with loving eyes.
In recent years, Ge Luoying has been focusing on expanding the Gold Element Divine Palace, spending his days in various mines of the sect, and has spent much less time at Ningcui Cliff.
Of all her disciples, she could only see the one standing before her regularly.
He is also her proudest closed-door disciple, and may become the first Golden Core cultivator in the Ningcui Cliff lineage.
Ji An obediently sat down beside his master, and he could 'smell' the increasingly strong stench of decay emanating from his master.
The other person's blood and energy had depleted to a certain extent, and their face was bloodless.
After chatting for about 15 minutes, Ji An got up to take his leave:
"Master, I still need to go to the Ministry of Agriculture. I will talk to you again when I return tonight."
During this period, it was Master who was talking, reminiscing about the past. He had heard some of these things many times before, but he still seemed very interested.
"Go ahead, now only you can calm down and listen to this old man's ramblings."
Ji An arrived at the Si Nong Hall on a cloud and saw Lin Mao walking with a slight hunch. He couldn't help but sigh.
Time is merciless, burying countless cultivators and their lives, unable to achieve immortality, ultimately becoming nothing more than a handful of dust.
He is lucky and has a bright future ahead of him, so he should cherish the present moment even more.
Upon entering the main hall, Ji An summoned the stewards, inquired about the recent situation, and then said:
"In less than two years, the medicinal herbs in the herb garden that I am in charge of will gradually mature."
At that time, we will be able to refine ten batches of Foundation Establishment Pills. You should draw up a list, and we will prepare Foundation Establishment Pills for the most outstanding disciples.
Only the minor merits required to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills can be repaid by the disciples after they break through to the next level.
By the way, how many Foundation Establishment cultivators are there in the Ministry of Agriculture now?
Kong Yunyi coughed lightly and cupped his hands in greeting:
"In response to the Palace Master, our Palace currently has a total of 119 Foundation Establishment cultivators."
Among the Qi Refining disciples, twelve have exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills, which they will receive from the General Affairs Hall in three years.
When the Ministry of Agriculture was first established, there were only about seventy Foundation Establishment cultivators. In recent years, the number has increased by about fifty, which is a huge improvement.
Ji An nodded slightly and smiled kindly:
"Very good! Based on this calculation, forty to fifty disciples will obtain Foundation Establishment Pills in the next few years. What is the current success rate of Foundation Establishment among the disciples of the Ministry of Agriculture?"
"About 60% of them are expected to join the entire Si Nong Hall, which will likely add more than 20 Foundation Establishment stage junior brothers and sisters."
Lin Mao replied that the gap to achieving the goal of 'two hundred Foundation Establishment stage' spirit farmers set by the Palace Master was not large, which was unimaginable before.
