Chapter 309 Bihua Pill
The clouds seemed to be on fire, and the sky was filled with reddish-brown peaks and valleys, as well as the golden, shimmering sea.
Welcomed by the colorful clouds, Ji An landed in the Emerald Mulberry Fields of Crimson Flame Peak.
He faced east, with his feet shoulder-width apart, legs slightly bent and back straight.
With palms facing each other, slowly raise your hands from your lower abdomen, exhale a "shh" sound, and widen your eyes.
After exhaling, inhale naturally, and a fragrant and cool breath enters your mouth.
The body instinctively swallowed, and the wood element energy flowed along the immortal meridian, causing the liver meridian patterns to appear.
The core of the divine palace then became bright, with a halo of emerald green light spreading out.
The vibrant life force radiates outward from the liver, nourishing the five internal organs and the body's vital energy and blood.
After repeating this several times, Ji An slowly finished his practice, then made a hand seal and rode the blue clouds to the vicinity of the Azure Jade Tree.
The Blood Soul Profound Origin Tree is now over six feet tall, as thick as a large arm, with dark red leaves like a palm, and is already a first-grade high-quality spiritual tree.
Based on this rate of progress, it can be upgraded to the top level within a year, and will bear fruit in a few years.
This made Ji An even more eager to see the effects of the Great Perfection level planting spell.
The Bodhi tree is only five feet tall, with bright green, oval-shaped leaves and neat serrated edges, also reaching the first-grade superior level.
However, it reached the first-grade superior level nearly two months later than the Blood Soul Profound Origin Tree, probably because the tree species is more advanced.
Ji An smiled knowingly. Every blade of grass and every tree here was the result of his hard work in casting spells.
If one day we can achieve the magnificent sight of second-tier spiritual plants covering the mountains and plains, then we will have accomplished our goal.
He sat down cross-legged and began to calm his mind. Once his thoughts were clear and his consciousness was empty, he began to circulate the Five Elements Revolving Sutra.
After consuming the qi, the body feels full, so there is no need to eat dinner.
He had already cast a spell on the spirit field yesterday, and with no tasks today, he had more time to cultivate his techniques and improve his magical power.
The pale black water elemental light, the emerald green wood elemental light, and the yellow earth elemental light, like swallows returning to the forest, all entered his mouth and nose.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered around him, as if the Milky Way were pouring into his body from above.
Beside the cold pool, Zhang Cuihua jumped down from the stone house and said worriedly:
"I've heard long ago that high-level cultivators eat the clouds and qi, and gradually lose their appetite."
Do you think I won't be able to stay on Crimson Flame Peak for long?
She is a spirit chef whose purpose is to provide meals.
A few months ago, my master began to consume the five elements of Qi, and gradually he no longer needed to eat breakfast and dinner.
If there's a day when she doesn't need to eat lunch, that's probably the time she'll have to leave Crimson Flame Peak.
Wei Songtao shook his head and laughed:
"How could that be? Even if our master could eat qi and not need to eat, it's impossible for all the guests to be people with such profound cultivation!"
Besides, it's impossible for my master to completely abstain from grains all at once; you can stay for another thirty to fifty years without any problem."
For high-level cultivators, the role of the spirit chef is still significant, as the meat from high-level demonic beasts obtained through hunting also needs to be cooked by the spirit chef.
A look of surprise flashed in Zhang Cuihua's eyes as she smiled:
"I've been feeling anxious and uncertain these past few days, and I haven't quite figured this out yet. Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother Wei."
In another thirty or fifty years, she will be very old and will no longer need to worry about leaving.
Wei Songtao waved his hand, "I think you can put some effort into making more variety from all the ingredients from Chiyan Peak."
This way, the master will have a greater sense of novelty when eating.
He lowered his voice and continued:
"After spending these past few years together, don't you understand your master's character yet?!"
As long as you work diligently, you will never be treated unfairly.
Zhang Cuihua nodded repeatedly, deciding to do as the other party instructed.
The full moon peeks out from behind the distant mountains, like a shy maiden, half-hidden and half-revealed.
When the moonlight shines on the dark, jade-like tree, it reveals streaks of silver threads.
The pale silver moonlight, guided by his cultivation technique, entered Ji An's mouth and nose with each breath.
Compared to his Foundation Establishment stage, he is able to absorb and exhale much more moonlight.
Snowflakes drifted through my mind, each one sparkling, and a refreshing sensation washed over my soul.
The moonlight belongs to Yin, and the soul also belongs to Yin. Absorbing the moonlight can also nourish and strengthen the soul.
Ji An felt as if he had drunk a pot of fine wine, with a slightly tipsy feeling, as if he were floating on air.
Within the acupoints, the Jia and Yi wood elements light up and then dim, followed by the Bing and Ding fire elements, and then the Wu and Ji earth elements, the Geng and Xin metal elements, and the Ren and Gui water elements, which light up in turn.
The seed of the Dao draws nourishment from the spiritual energy and grows stronger, from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a mung bean.
His liver had turned completely into a crystal-clear turquoise, the veins changing from emerald green to dark green, and finally slowly turning yellowish-brown, presenting a withered, gray, and lifeless appearance.
It's as if it has gone through the four seasons and completed a cycle of flourishing and decay.
A moment later, the veins shimmered with verdant green again, and the air was filled with the scent of budding and new life.
Wood not only grows vigorously, but also returns to its source, lying dormant and waiting for the right time, finally ushering in new life.
Gradually, as he absorbed more and more moonlight, Ji An's soul could no longer withstand the cold and desolation.
The effect of moonlight has changed from nourishing to harmful; everything in excess is as bad as deficiency.
Ji An slowly finished his practice, opened his mouth and exhaled a white stream of energy, dispersing the excess moonlight power accumulated in his body.
He made a hand seal and rode the blue clouds and mist towards the mountainside.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, silently illuminating his silhouette.
Upon landing at the entrance of the cave, Ji An placed his hand on the trunk of the Crimson Cloud Pine and used his magic to nourish the spirit pine.
The pine needles emitted light that was about three feet high, making the entire sacred tree look like a burning cloud.
As long as he stays on Crimson Flame Peak, nourishing the spirit pine with his magic power is something he does every day.
These two sacred pines were also quite remarkable, being the first and second to break through to the middle grade of the second rank.
Two quarters of an hour later, Ji An broke the magical barrier and entered the cave.
He arrived at the newly excavated secret vault, placed five trays of soul incense inside, and kept half of them with him, as this place would be used to store the most valuable resources in the future.
He went to the quiet room, sat cross-legged on the futon, and began to practice the secret technique.
The magical power flowed from the dantian, along the immortal meridians, and into the heart.
On the surface of the heart, pale golden veins shone.
The magic flowed through the veins and then exited from the outlet.
Ji An controlled the rhythm of the inflow of magical power, launching an attack on the inner veins that had opened up the Fire Element Divine Palace.
Half an hour later, he felt a growing sense of fatigue in his soul.
He stopped the secret technique, took out the Soul Incense, placed it in the incense burner, and lit it.
White smoke, like drifting clouds, spread through the quiet room.
Inhaling through the nose and mouth, one immediately feels a cool sensation rising up the nasal cavity and entering a mysterious place between the eyebrows.
That is the location of the sea of consciousness. When a Golden Core cultivator breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, they open up the Niwan Palace in the space between their eyebrows, which is the dwelling place of the soul infant.
The fatigue in my soul lessened slightly, and the effect was more than twice as good as drinking a second-grade mid-level Cloud Peak Tea.
It should be noted that the main ingredient of Soul Incense is only the leaves of second-grade low-level Soul Nourishing Wood, which is about twice as effective as Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea of the same grade.
Ji An nodded slightly; the effect was very good, and he was very satisfied.
Once the Soul-Nourishing Wood in Crimson Flame Peak is cultivated, he will have no shortage of Soul Incense and will be able to contribute some resources to the sect.
Take out a Bihua Pill and place it in your palm. There are two white cloud patterns on the pill.
He swallowed the pill and began to refine it by circulating his cultivation technique.
Soon, Ji An felt the medicinal power being extracted and transported to his liver.
The veins shimmered with an emerald green luster, and wisps of air flowed into the core of the divine palace.
The aura of growth and renewal emanated from the core of the divine palace, and waves of warmth spread outwards, while the eyes felt a cool sensation.
About half an hour later, Ji An finally completely refined the medicinal power of the Bihua Pill.
He withdrew from his cultivation and sighed with a sense of loss.
After careful observation and comparison, he discovered that the improvement brought about by one Bihua Pill was roughly equivalent to 1,400 to 1,500 strands of Qi, which was equivalent to more than half a year's worth of effort.
Ji An scratched his head, thinking that perhaps if he took fifty or sixty pills, he could immediately expand the core of the Mu Mansion to its maximum size.
He shook his head sharply, dismissing the unrealistic idea.
While drugs can provide rapid improvement, they also have drawbacks.
He had heard that those ancient cultivators who were skilled in breathing techniques could exhale like thunder and lightning, and inhale so that rivers would dry up.
Taking drugs won't improve your understanding of Qi cultivation. You can save time for now, but you'll have to catch up on your studies later.
The higher the level of a cultivator's practice, the more constantly the method of absorbing qi is activated, becoming an instinct.
They don't need to put on airs; they can breathe in the five elements' energy at any time.
At this moment, Ji An felt that his spiritual energy had been almost fully restored, so he once again activated the technique to continue opening up the Fire Element Divine Palace.
After half an hour, he stopped practicing his technique.
With the help of the Soul Incense, the fatigue in my soul is much less than before.
He opened the incense burner and found that a quarter of the incense had already burned away.
Based on this estimate, ten trays of Soul Incense would only last for forty hours.
Thinking that he wouldn't be able to receive it again for another three years, Ji An gave a wry smile.
Resources are so fleeting, especially the best things.
To nourish the soul and restore consciousness in the future, spiritual tea should still be the primary source of sustenance.
He extinguished the incense and went back to his bedroom to sleep.
Three days later, at the hour of Wei (1-3 PM).
Ji An finished his cultivation and flew on a cloud to the cold pool to prepare for lunch.
"Junior brother, you've already reached the hour of Wei (1-3 PM) in one cultivation session?"
Liu Yu, who was speaking, had been waiting for more than an hour.
The more divine palaces a cultivator in the Chaoyuan stage opens up, the longer their cultivation time will be.
If all five prefectures were to be opened up, it would probably take twelve hours to complete one plan.
"Haha, yes, when did you return to the sect, Senior Brother?"
Ji An took out a gift box the size of a human head from his storage bag and said:
"This is tea for my senior brother. It contains three catties of second-grade low-grade Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea and two ounces of mid-grade Cloud Top Silver Needle Tea."
"If I give my senior brother another three catties of spiritual tea next year, I can repay the entire amount I owe you."
The Azure Jade Tree of the Moon was a gift from the other party, and his previous promise remains valid.
This is also the reputation he has built. As the reputation spreads, when sect cultivators obtain rare spiritual seeds, the first trading partner they will think of will definitely be him.
The gift box was light, but Liu Yu felt it was heavy.
He put away the gift box and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
“Junior brother, you are a gentleman. Giving me tree seeds is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.”
