Ji An rode on the clouds, diligently practicing the Geng tal Spirit-Slaying Sword.
This was to practice multitasking, controlling the flight and attacking simultaneously.
The golden light sotis gathered like a flying waterfall, descending majestically; at other tis, it was like fine cow hair, threading through every gap.
The air seed to cool significantly, giving rise to a chill.
In his hands, the magic technique could flow as mighty rivers or beco as subtle as fine dust, with changes born from his mind.
The Geng tal Spirit-Slaying Sword had more of a sense of extinction than previous tal Elent Techniques, a new feature on the Path of Gold.
Ji An realized the desolate and murderous nature of autumn from it, and that death is the ultimate destination of all life.
All things fall silent, thus extinction.
The moisture in the air turned into tiny ice particles, which, before falling, were shattered by the golden light, like white dust being picked up by a strong wind.
Unknowingly, the cold moon shone.
Ji An’s eyebrows were sharp as knives; he perford the spell of the Geng tal Spirit-Slaying Sword again, with golden lotuses blooming in his pupils.
The golden lotuses spun and flew into the distance, exploding like brilliant fireworks, dazzling and deadly, captivating the moonlight.
As the radiance faded and returned to silence, snowflakes gently fell from above, each crystal clear.
He closed his eyes, savoring the insights he just gained.
[Magic Technique: Geng tal Spirit-Slaying Sword (Perfection 23%→32%)]
Gaining so insights, Ji An smiled slightly, he perford the spell to use the Earth Escape Technique to reach the entrance of the grotto mansion.
A magic array guarded the grotto mansion, preventing the Earth Escape Technique from penetrating, halting him there.
He opened the Dharma Prohibition to enter the Secret Vault, taking out a Tier Two Middle-grade Spiritual Peach, red as fire, and went into the Quiet Chamber, sitting cross-legged on the pudun.
Once he established the Fire Mansion, consuming Fire Elent Spirit Fruit could fully absorb the contained Power of the Fire Spirit.
Ji An took a bite of the spiritual peach, the warm juice sliding down his throat, spreading warmth in his abdon, then to his arms and fingertips.
After eating the spirit fruit, he imdiately circulated the Fire Mansion Chapter of the Five Elents Reincarnation Scripture.
The energy contained in the spirit fruit was swiftly refined, his heart beating strongly and robustly, its golden patterns shining clearly.
His blood seed to heat up as white mist evaporated from his pores.
To Ji An, this cultivation technique resembled more an Inner Refining thod.
The body as the furnace, vital energy and magical power as the fuel, achieving rapid magic refinent.
As the technique circulated, the flesh and juice of the spiritual peach transford into magical power and crimson radiance, the power flowed into the Dantian, with the Stone Turtle devouring a tenth, and the Primordial Life Fire another tenth.
The Primordial Life Fire’s outer flas burned brightly, gaining another shadow layer, with strands of crimson light absorbed partly by the Bingding Fire Dao Seed in the acupoints, the rest by the Fire Mansion core.
Nightti was not suitable for cultivating Fire Mansion Technique, but refining the spiritual peach was unhindered.
Maintaining one spiritual peach a day would significantly accelerate his cultivation and strengthen the Divine Mansion core far beyond other cultivators who have opened a Fire Mansion.
In his liver, a few drops of Wood Elent Spirit Liquid erged, most flowing into the Dantian to bolster the Primordial Life Fire.
The remainder flowed into the heart, absorbed by the Divine Mansion core.
Ji An replenished his magical power, steeping a cup of Jade Dew Golden Bud.
Drinking the strong tea, a refreshing sensation diffused in his Sea of Consciousness.
The main trunk of the Ghost Moon Cyan Jade Tree was as thick as a barrel, yielding eighteen pounds and nine ounces of spirit tea this year, now he drank with great pride.
The divine sense expended through practicing magic rapidly recovered, while the spirit soul was nourished.
When the spirit tea no longer had flavor, Ji An sat cross-legged again, circulating magical power to open the Earth Elent Divine Mansion.
Magical power flowed from the Dantian, pouring into the spleen, which glowed with yellow spirit light, lustrous as yellow jade.
Silence ensued through the night.
The next morning, after consuming Sunrise Qi, Ji An hurriedly teleported to Ningcui Cliff.
He entered the grotto mansion, chatted briefly with his ntor, then left quickly, riding a fiery auspicious cloud straight to Sunrise Peak.
While riding the cloud and flying, he practiced the Geng tal Spirit-Slaying Sword, a master of ti managent, wasting no second.
Along the mountain forests, disciples gazed at the flying fire cloud, eyes filled with longing.
Riding clouds was exclusive to cultivators above the Chao Origin Stage, the ultimate life goal of most disciples.
The red auspicious cloud, bright as dawn, descended in front of the Treasure Pavilion, and Ji An dashed into the hall, fetching two jars of Tier Two Middle-grade Pine Nut Wine:
"Senior Brother, I’ve co to see you."
He never ca empty-handed to the Treasure Pavilion, and this spirit wine was always graciously accepted, often gaining him favors.
Jia Yu took the wine jar, broke the sealing mud, and inhaled deeply, smiling knowingly:
"The quality of the spirit wine from Red Fla Peak has never disappointed."
Cheerfully, he perford the Water Control Technique, filling the gourd with wine.
Ji An sat in the chair, chuckling:
"Senior Sister Ge inford to co yesterday, I wonder what business you have for ? Feel free to instruct."
"Of course it’s good news, the ancestor has decreed that each year you can exchange five more Vermilion Bird Fla Grass Pills."
Jia Yu handed over the red jade bottle on the table:
"Knowing you’d co today, I prepared in advance.
The ancestor’s special batch of five, plus the five you asked to buy, totaling ten pills."
He took out a wooden box, "There are also twenty trays of Soul Incense, all yours."
"With the ancestor’s grace, I’m overwheld with gratitude."
Ji An accepted the jade bottle and wooden box, counting them, nodding:
"The pills and the count are spot on."
He put the Jade Bottle into the Storage Bag and took out the Identity Jade Token to hand over.
Jia Yu placed the Jade Token on the Spirit Disc and muttered:
"Junior Brother, as a Core Disciple, you enjoy the treatnt, and the exchange price for each Vermilion Bird Fla Grass Pill is one thousand Small rit, with each tray of Soul Incense costing one Small rit.
A deduction of twelve thousand Small rit from you, leaving a balance of three hundred sixty thousand Small rit."
Non-core disciples need to pay an additional one hundred Small rit to exchange for Vermilion Bird Fla Grass Pills.
He sighed and said:
"Three hundred sixty thousand Small rit. My Small rit never exceeded eighty thousand.
You, on the other hand, have accumulated so much in just a few years. Almost no cultivators in the sect can compare to you."
Ji An grinned and said:
"With so much Small rit, Brother, why not help exchange it for resources?"
The Small rit he held in his hand increased faster than he could spend it.
Jia Yu shook his head, "Junior Brother, don’t make things difficult for . The stock that Luofeng Valley cultivators hold likely cannot et your needs.
To consu so much Small rit, you’ll have to wait until the rchant Flying Ship from the Central Continent arrives in over ten years."
Facing such a fellow Junior Brother who could earn Small rit, he felt both joy and worry.
The joy was that the Treasure Pavilion was greatly enriched, the worry was that each eting he would be reminded once.
Ji An waved his hand, then gently patted the Storage Bag:
"Just kidding, having more Pill and Soul Incense supplies is all thanks to your care, Brother.
By the way, do you know Senior Sister Han Yan’s progress in researching the new Pill Formula?
If she develops a pill that can replace the Vermilion Bird Fla Grass Pill a day earlier, the sect’s cultivators will benefit."
The Vermilion Bird Fla Grass Pill’s ingredients are seven hundred-year-old Vermilion Bird Grass and dozens of six hundred-year-old Spirit dicine.
To cultivate this kind of Fire Spirit Grass to seven hundred years requires the sect to spend nearly a hundred years.
So dicinal Gardens in Ningcui Cliff are planted with such Spirit Grass.
If he were to do the planting, it certainly wouldn’t take as long, because other cultivators use the Fla Fire Spell.
The Fla Fire Spell, a Qi Refining Stage Magic Technique, is worlds apart compared to the Zhurong Divine Fire Spell.
Jia Yu said softly:
"A few days ago, Junior Sister Han and I received orders to visit Luofeng Valley; she ntioned the research is not going smoothly.
The drug power of Vermilion Bird Fla Grass Pill’s many ingredients is strong, and Spirit dicines contain abundant Power of the Fire Spirit after years of growth.
The dicinal power of Tier Two Middle-grade Pine Nuts can be enhanced through extracting Divine Essence.
However, the Fire Spirit Power within is too scarce, which is difficult to resolve."
He lowered his voice and continued:
"Junior Sister Han privately said that this alone deadlocks her research progress.
Perhaps Tier Two Middle-grade Pine Nuts cannot serve as a main ingredient.
She is already shifting her focus, investigating which auxiliary dicine Pine Nuts can replace the Vermilion Bird Fla Grass Pill with."
Ji An slightly furrowed his brow; researching a Pill Formula is indeed a daunting task.
The Chao Origin Stage Pill demands sufficient Five Elents Power; otherwise, it cannot enlarge the Divine Mansion’s core.
Pine Nuts have a maturity period of only one year, and the Fire Spirit Power they contain is extrely weak.
Thus, even Tier Two Upper-grade Pine Nuts cannot et Alchemy requirents, though Tier Two Top-grade Pine Nuts might be sufficient.
"Looks like I’ll have to quickly enhance my cultivation by consuming Spirit Fruit."
The Spiritual Peach in Red Fla Peak is abundant and large enough to et the minimum requirents for Alchemy.
However, since the auxiliary ingredients are insufficient, it seems the only way to improve oneself is through consumption.
Jia Yu took a sip of Spirit Wine and said:
"Junior Brother’s conditions for empowering the Fire Elent Divine Mansion are much stronger than other Senior Brothers.
With Pill scarcity and no other thods, everyone slowly elevates through daily accumulation."
The Tier Two dium-grade Fire Spirit Fruit in Red Fla Peak can fully satisfy the needs here.
The two chatted for a while, then Ji An took his leave.
He needed to return to Red Fla Peak, making the best use of dayti for Cultivation thod and elevating cultivation.
...
The next evening, Ji An left the Agricultural Hall, sailing through the dicinal Garden in Ningcui Cliff on clouds as today was his day to cast spells.
Finally, he arrived at the Grotto Mansion atop the mountain, greeted his master, and walked into the dicinal Garden, releasing different spell combinations according to the Spirit dicine planted in different areas.
He stepped onto the platform imdiately noticing the difference.
The newly planted peach trees, only eight years old, had even more lustrous leaves, and the range of Spirit Light had increased by two inches.
Ji An swiftly released the Azure Dragon Shocking Skill, Zhurong Divine Fire Spell, and Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancent Skill.
He quickly left the platform and entered the Grotto Mansion’s living room, gently saying:
"Master, the Spirit Peach trees I planted years ago have now reached Tier Two Middle-grade."
Ge Ying squinted, squeezing out a smile:
"Very good!"
Her tone was joyful yet carried a tint of sadness; based on experience from the previous plant, reaching Tier Two Middle-grade Spirit Peach took forty-plus years.
How long did it take the disciple to cultivate Middle-grade Spirit Peach? Less than ten years!
