Because the materials were not sufficient, the Pudun was slightly thin, only half as thick as a normal ditation cushion.
Ji An sat on the new Pudun, and soon felt strands of coolness rising in his Sea of Consciousness, making his thoughts more agile.
Golden Fur suddenly let out a roar, and his body instantly ballooned, his demonic power surged dramatically, reaching the Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishnt.
"Good!"
Ji An praised, as this Demon Beast, who had accompanied him for the longest ti, had finally advanced in cultivation.
After the Spirit Beasts had individually refined their Demon Cores, he assigned them to the night watch, then drank his Spirit Tea, and activated the Dharma Gate to open the Water Elent Divine Mansion.
In an instant, magical power surged like a tide through the Immortal Vein, constantly impacting the kidneys.
The cloud patterns on the surface of the kidneys fluctuated unpredictably, like a mountain cloud sea rippling in the wind, presenting a magnificent spectacle.
With the combined enhancent of the Soul-Calming Grass and Spirit Tea, Ji An cultivated for a long ti without feeling fatigued, though his magical power beca exhausted first.
He stopped cultivating, with his eyes sparkling in the night, like water under the moonlight.
Ji An felt invigorated, with the black Soul-Calming Grass Pudun, he could open the Divine Mansion even faster.
He took out a bamboo tube, gently tapped his fingers to release the Geng tal Finger, creating holes amidst flickering golden light, then drank a small portion of Cyan Leaf Wine, starting cultivation and refinent.
The night passed.
Ji An opened his eyes in the morning breeze, the sun had not yet risen, the horizon just turning a fish-belly white.
The Spiritual Qi was too scarce here, unsuitable for cultivation to enhance one’s cultivation level, so he began practicing Magic Techniques.
After releasing the Muddy Gold Profound Armor Spell, golden stripes erged on his body and slowly seeped into his skin.
He activated the Geng tal Spirit-Slaying Sword, golden light surged like waves, the sharp and devastating aura sweeping across.
Although he wasn’t attacked directly, the wild grass and moss in the stone crevices quickly withered, their life force entirely depleted.
Even the Qi chanism leaked from the Magic Techniques, they couldn’t withstand.
The sun leapt over the horizon, sunlight shining brightly, urging people forward.
Ji An stopped practicing Magic Techniques, faced the sun, "Ah!"
Exhaling and inhaling, he swallowed a thread of Sun’s Bing Fire Qi into his abdon, stopped after consuming two threads of Qi. Without pairing it with Qi of Ding Fire to balance Yin and Yang, it would be wasted.
Ji An took out a Jade Slip to check the map, after confirming the next destination, he placed Dahuang and Golden Fur into the Spirit Beast Bag, mounted the Golden Feathered Eagle and flew northeast.
He planned to fly around the sect’s periter for a week, exploring every area possibly containing Earth Elent Qi, eventually returning to Red Fla Peak.
Ji An didn’t idle, though he couldn’t cultivate while traveling, he could still practice Magic Techniques.
He ford Magic Formulas, his body shimring with golden light, and then began practicing the Geng tal Spirit-Slaying Sword.
In the area flown over by the Golden Feathered Eagle, the golden light flashed, a sinister aura filled the air, ordinary birds would instantly be sliced into pieces by the residual Magic Intent.
Even strong Demon Beasts, if not sliced to death, would be left scarred, their vitality slashed, shortening their lifespan by at least several months.
...
A month later, walking under the sunset’s glow, Ji An returned to the sect.
This external venture mostly resulted in futile effort, but he had drawn a more detailed map, marking where various Earth Elent Qi could be found.
Next ti he ventures out, it will save a lot of ti.
He felt sowhat fatigued, eating Earth Elent Qi was mind-draining, with Spiritual Qi being scarce in various places, most ti wasted on the journey, and this month the Stone Turtle absorbed very little Spiritual chanism.
Losing opportunities in one place, gaining in another, practicing Magic Techniques yielded substantial results, additionally refining one tael of Spirit Silk.
[Geng tal Spirit-Slaying Sword (Perfection 89%→91%)]
[Muddy Gold Profound Armor Spell (Perfection 54%→55%)]
The progress in Chao Origin Stage Techniques far exceeded Ji An’s expectations.
The Golden Feathered Eagle let out a cry, announcing their return, it landed steadily beside the Cold Pool, Ji An patted its back:
"Good work."
During this period of travel, most of the journey was spent riding the Golden Feathered Eagle.
He took out a Jade Bottle, tossed a Spirit Feeding Pill, the Golden Feathered Eagle raised its head to swallow, gave a low cry, spread its wings, and flew towards its nest.
Ji An released Dahuang and Golden Fur from the Storage Bag, similarly gave each a Spirit Feeding Pill, and sent them away.
In the sect’s surrounding area, countless cultivators had searched many tis, no high-tier Spiritual dicine was found, and the black Soul-Calming Grass was his most valuable gain.
Wei Songtao quickly approached, cupped his hands and greeted:
"Elder, welco back to Red Fla Peak.
A fortnight ago, Elder Jia Yu visited and left a ssage, requesting you to visit the Treasure Pavilion upon your return."
Ji An nodded slightly, asked:
"Did he specify what the matter concerned?"
If it wasn’t urgent, he intended to rest for two days before going.
This month he had been roaming desolate mountain wastelands, seldom sleeping, needing a good rest.
Wei Songtao imdiately understood his intention, said:
"Elder Jia rely asked you to retrieve sothing, as for what it was, he didn’t elaborate further."
"Then it shouldn’t be urgent."
Ji An said, took out a Communication Golden Sword, recorded a ssage and sent it out.
As the golden light faded, he instructed:
"Let Cuihua know to prepare so exquisite dishes today, and bring two jars of Spirit Wine."
Having endured exposure to the elents outside, his mouth lacked flavor.
"Alright, I’ll go imdiately."
Wei Songtao agreed, bringing out a Storage Bag, saying:
"Elder, this is the Fire Elent Essence acquired this month, totaling sixty-eight thousand strands, all expenses recorded in the ledger."
Ji An received the Storage Bag, briefly scanned it, nodded:
"Very good, keep up the acquisition.
Also spread the word, starting the purchase of Earth Elent Essence, if unable to acquire much within the sect, you may inform your brother to assist in contacting shops outside the sect."
Extracting Earth Elent Essence involves Earth Veins, with strict restrictions in place by the sect.
Not only the sect, cultivation clans also limit disciples, minimizing extraction within family regions.
"Disciple understands."
...
Half an hour later, Ji An drank so wine, and began feasting.
As the moon rose over the treetops, he satisfiedly patted his belly, laughed, saying:
"How comfortable!"
He sat cross-legged and refined the Spiritual Food, then began casting spells for the Spirit Field.
Dragon whispers sounded, brilliance brighter than the moon above, later receiving Jia Yu’s reply, learning it was not urgent.
Two double hours later, he flew around Red Fla Peak, entering the underground cavern at the foot of the mountain.
The Soul Nourishing Wood swayed under the moon, flaunting its elegance, but Ji An’s gaze was captivated by the Earth Spirit Fruit Tree beside it.
The Earth Spirit Fruit Tree sprouted oval, coin-sized buds, exuding a gentle Spirit Light, appearing extrely brilliant in this relatively dim environnt.
Moreover, another Earth Spirit Fruit Tree nearby also began shedding its bark, evidently showing signs of transforming into Tier Two Upper Grade!
He stepped forward, extending his Divine Sense to carefully feel the life force within the Spirit Tree, a smile appeared on his lips.
No mistake, this was the second Upper Grade Earth Spirit Fruit Tree.
In that case, once the Spirit Tree bore fruit, he might gather enough Earth Spirit Fruit for the Earth Dragon Beast all at once, even if a few were missing, it wouldn’t be much.
Then he could discuss with the Earth Dragon Beast to obtain Essence Blood to soak the Golden Spot Spider Silk earlier.
He successively ford the Azure Dragon Shocking Skill and Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancent Skill, then used the Earth Escape Technique to leave the cavern.
Back at the Grotto Mansion, Ji An cast spells for the Celestial Essence Ginseng and other Spiritual dicines in the dicinal Garden, then took out a Jade Bottle containing Fire Elent Essence, summoned the Earth-Departing Fla Banner.
The Spiritual Artifact cheerfully swallowed the essence, devoured over two thousand strands, then again beca petite, rging into Ji An’s body, entering the Dantian, floating in the Primordial Life Fire amidst red fla.
...
Ji An walked out of the Grotto Mansion, feeling refreshed, squinting slightly.
By now, it was almost noon, after adjusting to the intense light, he flew down to the Cold Pool below the mountain, asked:
"Cuihua, how long have I slept?"
He didn’t believe he had only slept for one night.
"Replying to elder, this is your third day since returning."
Zhang Cuihua paused, then said:
"Elder, lunch hasn’t been prepared yet, shall I first prepare so Wild Beef and dried fruit for you?"
"Just bring a piece of Wild Beef."
Ji An said, the Wild Beef was all pre-cooked, ready to eat, giving him ti to do sothing else.
"Please wait."
Zhang Cuihua dashed back to the kitchen and returned with several long strips of Wild Beef, which Ji An received before entering the living room, eating while pondering the design of the Fire Dragon Talisman.
From Liu Yu, he obtained Chao Origin Stage Beast Hide and Essence Blood, both derived from Fire Elent Demon Beast.
