The other party’s response was beyond Ji An’s expectations; how could a sword cultivator admit defeat so easily?

Besides, a sword cultivator’s flying escape is quick, and it’s not easy to hit the opponent.

He looked at the opponent, confused, not expecting a conclusion determined by a single strike.

”Senior Brother, the fight was rushed just now. Maybe you weren’t familiar with my current techniques, so your reaction was slow?”

Li Haoran understood his confusion and explained:

”Junior Brother, for sword cultivators, there’s no concept of a rushed battle.

I had already exerted full force just now. While I didn’t unleash my entire power, I used over ninety percent.

I do have techniques I haven’t used; the Celestial River Sword Technique has follow-up killer moves, but these moves can no longer be executed.”

The attack of the Celestial River Sword Technique can be like the continuous waves of a river, constantly increasing its might, but there’s a prerequisite that the river of sword energy hasn’t dissipated.

Yet just the first attack caused his sword river to collapse, so how could it continue to increase!

He raised his hand, showing the back to the other and said:

”Junior Brother’s Geng Metal Technique Intent has reached an extremely profound level; its strength is something I can’t resist head-on.

If the fight continues, it would only be a matter of me using high mobility to harass, but as long as direct attacks can’t be countered, all tactics are destined to fail.

If we were enemies, I would need to run away now.”

A smile appeared on his lips. The failure at this time wasn’t lingering in his mind. Being undefeated among the same level cultivators was lonely; now, he has a target.

He’s indeed not a match for the opponent now, but if he can understand the sword intent more deeply, he would have the qualification to contend.

Or perhaps, he comprehends another sword intent and integrates it into the original system.

There are many ways to win the battle, and now he’s just momentarily behind; however, being a pursuer is more motivating.

Ji An wore a slight smile on his cheeks. ”Senior Brother is truly carefree. Come, let’s go have some drinks.”

”It needs to be strong!”

”Satisfaction guaranteed.”

The two returned to the Cold Pool, Ji An instructed:

”Songtao, get two bamboo joints of top-grade pine nut wine. Cuihua, quickly prepare a couple of good dishes that don’t take long.”

”As you command.”

Disciples busied themselves, and in just two double hours, the spiritual food was prepared and served on the table.

Ji An filled the wine cups. ”Senior Brother, drink it all up!”

...

Qi eating, cultivation, demonstration technique, body refining, Ji An’s days were very peaceful.

Days passed with the rise and fall of the sun, seven years flew by like white horses passing a gap.

In the dim mine’s earth cave, Ji An casually stood, exhaling forcefully with a ”Xi” sound, then inhaling naturally.

Streams of metal qi flowed down his throat, spreading a spicy taste across his tongue.

In his body, his lungs shone silvery-white, with patterns on the surface shifting like a sword array in flight.

As the metal qi surged in, the core of the divine mansion suddenly pulsated, truly uniting as one.

Simultaneously, his eyes turned silvery-white, the pupils unseen.

In the dantian, the silvery-white flame layers were more intense, with the Geng Metal Dao Seed and Xin Metal Dao Seed glimmering in unison.

On the back of the Stone Turtle, the Qian and Dui hexagrams glowed with spirit light, quickly becoming restrained.

Its mouth moved, exhaling clear spirit qi, making the primordial life fire more vigorous, the five-colored light in the dantian leapt about like a rainbow.

Centered on Ji An’s body, strands of gold element spirit qi wove into a large net, expanding like a balloon.

The spiritual pressure expanded outward like a hurricane, causing stones on the rocky wall to fall like rain, smoke and dust billowed instantly.

Ji An used earth escape technique, instantly crossing a distance of a hundred zhang to reach the ground.

He looked up to the sky and howled, his energy free and overflowing, with distant mountains responding, echoes resounding for miles.

At that moment, with his Jin Mansion reaching perfection, he officially stepped into the Fifth Transformation of the Chao Origin realm.

Counting from the day his Earth Element Divine Mansion reached perfection till today, it took nine years.

In these last two years, he didn’t take a single pill.

Of course, it’s not that he didn’t want to; it’s just that the sect didn’t have any in reserve.

Now, with an ample supply of Canglan Treasure Light Pills, how far could Water Mansion Perfection be!

Golden clouds rose from under his feet, lifting him westward rapidly.

More than half a double hour later, golden-red mist arose like clouds in the distance, Red Flame Peak loomed ahead.

...

By the Cold Pool, Zhong Yuefei was sitting, tasting spirit tea. Upon seeing the golden auspicious clouds descending from the sky, she got up and approached, saying:

”Junior Brother, I feel your cloud-flying speed is much faster than before.”

”Haha, Senior Sister is spot on. Today’s Gold Element Divine Mansion Perfection boosts the speed of the gold cloud.”

Ji An didn’t hide the fact of his cultivation improvement; it’s good news, and Senior Sister isn’t an outsider, so there’s no need to conceal it.

Zhong Yuefei’s mouth half-opened, her thoughts momentarily froze.

She was still honing the primordial life fire, feeling she needed more years to reach perfection, and the other had actually achieved the Fifth Transformation of the Chao Origin Stage, truly dreamlike.

The cool breeze blew past, tousling Zhong Yuefei’s hair, bringing her back to her senses, as she cupped her hands and said:

”Congratulations, Junior Brother!”

Then she jokingly said, ”But this is so hurtful, you should wait for us laggards once in a while.”

At Ningcui Cliff, they have already thrived into towering trees within the sect.

With the help of a powerful Junior Brother, she borrowed twenty thousand Small Merits and has already exchanged for the Nourishing Yuan Pill from the sect.

Currently, her magical power has been honed to perfection, and as soon as the Light of Primordial Life reaches a certain level, she can take the Nourishing Yuan Pill to break through.

Li Lingyu and Mu Qingwan have both broken through to the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment, and they both have the chance to break through to the Chao Origin Stage in the future.

Regarding the joke, Ji An just laughed:

”Senior Sister, let’s talk in the living room.”

The two moved to the living room and took their seats as host and guest. Zhong Yuefei spoke:

”I came this time to ask if Junior Brother still needs servants here?

I have a cousin, and we have a good relationship.

Her family has a younger generation with lower grade aptitude but is sharp and cooks well, whom she is fond of, and she wants to find a path for this youngster.

So, I shamelessly come to ask, if Junior Brother has already selected someone, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Because of the sect’s regulations, each Dao Field cannot keep servants and must hire disciples for tasks.

This cousin originally sought her help in accepting the younger generation, also for some care, but she thought Red Flame Peak would be a better opportunity.

Only if Junior Brother already has someone selected would she accept her cousin’s younger generation.

Disciples working at Red Flame Peak can accumulate more Spirit Stones.

Ji An nodded, smiling:

”Since Senior Sister has spoken, of course, she can send him over, but let me just say beforehand, once here, he must follow my rules.”

Wei Songtao and others are getting older, and it’s indeed time to consider exchanging a batch of disciples to serve.

Several disciples have suggested recommending their relatives, but Ji An considered not having any ties with the previous batch, so he didn’t agree.

”He must certainly follow the rules of Red Flame Peak, and I will also advise him to work well.”

Zhong Yuefei was very pleased to be able to give her cousin a better explanation.

After chatting a few moments, she somewhat unnaturally opened up:

”This time, I also want to ask Junior Brother to lend me some Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea and Soul Nourishing Pendant for nourishing the Spirit Soul.”

She has already borrowed quite a lot of Spirit Tea, but since it involves breaking through to the Chao Origin Stage, she couldn’t afford any carelessness, hence she asked boldly.

Ji An kindly smiled:

”Alright, I’ll get them later; Senior Sister is at a critical moment, feel free to ask for help wherever needed, don’t feel embarrassed.

I’ll give you twenty pounds of Tier Two Lower Grade Spirit Tea and one Soul Nourishing Pendant.”

Currently, Red Flame Peak has four Ghost Moon Cyan Jade Trees, the old tree at Tier Two Upper Grade, and the three new trees all at Tier Two Lower Grade.

Senior Sister is a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator; drinking Tier Two Lower Grade Spirit Tea is just right.

The leaves of the Top-grade Tea Tree are harvested once every three years and can yield about thirty pounds of tea, half of which he personally consumes.

The yield of Lower Grade Spirit Tea is higher; each tree yields twenty-four to twenty-five pounds annually, and the stockpile in the warehouse has about forty pounds left.

The Soul Nourishing Wood in the Earth Cave is now cultivated to Tier Two Middle Grade, and one must say a Golden Core Cultivator’s ashes are really potent!

Now Ji An submits two Spirit Wood Branches as thick as a child’s arm every five years, and the sect’s supply of Soul Nourishing Pendants has become somewhat steady.

As for the leaves of the Soul Nourishing Wood, he has entirely made them into Soul Incense, turning in thirty percent, while accumulating the rest for personal use or transactions.

”Thank you, Junior Brother, for your support; if I ever break through to the Chao Origin Stage, half of the credit will be yours.”

Zhong Yuefei was in high spirits, the feeling of having support was truly wonderful.

”Junior Brother, I have a request. If I break through to the Chao Origin Stage, I wish to buy a seed from your Ghost Moon Cyan Jade Tree, what do you think?”

She is not a Spirit Farmer but can employ High-tier Spirit Farmers to cast spells on the Spirit Wood daily.

There is a sect’s Medicinal Garden near her Dao Field, with frequent visits from peers at the Agricultural Hall, and it’s easy enough to earn remuneration by lending a hand.

If she cannot break through to the Chao Origin Stage, she won’t bother with planting Spirit Tea Trees anymore.

Ji An thought a moment and said:

”Senior Sister must be patient and wait some time; if the old tree bears seeds, I’ll use them for my own planting.

Only when the new trees produce seeds can I spare one for you.”

”If I break through, with three hundred more years of life, waiting a few decades is nothing.”

The two chatted for a while, agreeing to meet again in three days when Zhong Yuefei would bring the younger generation over.

After seeing off Senior Sister, Ji An rode a cloud to Copper Patterned Mulberry Field.

The Vajra Bodhi Tree is now ten feet tall, with dense green leaves.

In form, the Vajra Bodhi is no different from the Bodhi Tree, except the bark of the Vajra Bodhi faintly reveals a muted bronze hue.

As a Spirit Tree, it is now a Tier Two Lower Grade Spirit Plant and has begun to bear fruit.

The fruit is much smaller than Bodhi Fruit, only about the size of a date, but very dense.

True to its name, the Vajra Bodhi’s fruit was initially green, later turned copper, and now the fruit is golden and glimmers subtly under the sun, possessing a restrained weightiness.

Ji An circled the tree with hands behind his back, picking up the fallen fruit from the ground and carefully placing it into a Jade Box.

He has refined the fruit; during cultivation of the Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture Metal Element Chapter, simply holding the fruit can slowly refine it.

It takes about a double hour to completely refine one Spirit Fruit, and he discovered that after refining, the skin becomes more resilient, and the medicinal power penetrates the muscles and bones.

Indeed, as the shopkeeper from the Southern Continent said, Vajra Bodhi Fruit is a treasure medicine for body refining.

Now, he is interested in the cultivation of Buddhist Cultivators, and is very keen to know how to maximize the effects of Spirit Fruits.
