Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

”Thank you for your help.”

Ji An took out two jade boxes sealed with Sealing Spirit Talismans, ”This is the promised reward.”

Inside were two top-grade Spiritual Peaches.

He Yuhuan touched the talisman and exclaimed:

”Wow, the talisman on this is very special, is it a Tier Two Sealing Spirit Talisman?”

Once spiritual fruits and medicines mature, they need Sealing Spirit Talismans for preservation. The higher the grade of the spiritual medicine, the more likely this is needed.

Because prolonged storage can cause the spiritual power to dissipate, high-tier spiritual medicines are expensive, and if their efficacy is lost due to poor preservation, it would be a huge loss.

High-tier Sealing Spirit Talismans aren’t surprising, but He Yuhuan was intrigued by the material of the talisman.

Tier Two and above talismans require beast hides as materials, but the talisman in front of her was made from Talisman Paper!

What this implies, anyone in a major power who isn’t foolish would understand.

Han Yan, intrigued by her words, also noticed the material issue and asked:

”Were the talismans bought during the ancestor’s travels?”

Tier Two Sealing Spirit Talismans, although valuable, aren’t uncommon. This type of Talisman Paper hasn’t appeared in the Western Continent, so it’s likely bought in another continent.

”Don’t call me ancestor, it’s too formal, just call me Daoist friend in private.”

Ji An corrected her address and added:

”I drew the talismans myself. If you need them, you can come to Red Flame Peak to purchase. I’ll give you a discounted price.”

The talisman legacy obtained from Red Rock Immortal City contains methods for making various grades of Talisman Paper.

The raw materials needed to make Tier Two Talisman Paper can all be found at Red Flame Peak. In recent days, he instructed Feng Xing to produce some.

The process of making Talisman Paper isn’t difficult, but acquiring the materials is the hard part. For Ji An, the simplest thing was actually the hardest.

Using Talisman Paper instead of beast hides reduces the cost of talisman making greatly, resulting in higher profits.

When he goes to the Central Continent, being an Alchemist and Talisman Maker will be his public identities, and he will refine these crafts alongside his cultivation.

He Yuhuan raised her eyebrows, ”Supply in bulk?”

”Not yet, it will take a few years.”

Mass production of Talisman Paper requires time due to the seasonal nature of raw materials.

Ji An paused and said openly:

”I acquired a talisman legacy in the Northern Land, allowing me to produce Tier Two, even Tier Three Talisman Paper.”

This isn’t something to hide; when he leaves the sect, he plans to submit the legacy in exchange for some resources.

”How much deposit is needed to reserve some Tier Two Sealing Spirit Talismans?”

Han Yan asked because, as an Alchemist, she has a demand for storing spiritual medicines.

Gathering materials for a high-tier elixir takes a long time, requiring her to spend Spirit Stones on Sealing Spirit Talismans each year.

Ji An smiled and waved his hand, ”With our relationship, no deposit is necessary.”

He took out several more talismans, giving each person two:

”You can test their effectiveness; their price is only seventy percent of similar talismans, limited to Sealing Spirit Talismans only.”

After producing Talisman Paper, he discovered its drawback: it couldn’t hold much spiritual power, meaning the tier of offensive talismans would be low.

In other words, Talisman Paper could only be used for crafting auxiliary talismans at present.

”That’s great, Sealing Spirit Talismans are exactly what I need.”

Han Yan was delighted. With this, she could easily save nearly a thousand Spirit Stones annually.

While it doesn’t seem much, over time it amounts to significant savings in Spirit Stones.

After chatting for a while, He Yuhuan changed the subject:

”When are you planning to give your beast the pill?”

Not many sect cultivators have Chao Origin Stage beasts. As the Hall Master of the Beast Taming Hall, she was eager to see another high-tier beast being born.

”In a few days. Before the breakthrough, I’ll prepare a sumptuous meal for the beast.”

Ji An replied that a meal of Chao Origin Stage Demon Beast Meat would provide the beast with more spiritual power, aiding in its breakthrough.

...

A month later.

The newly risen moon cast pure light over the treetops.

The Rock Armor Bear, having had a hearty meal, was about to return to its nest for a comfortable nap when Ji An approached, taking out a Jade Bottle and pouring out an Earth Vein Flame Heart Pill.

The gleaming pill immediately caught Dahuang’s attention, as it twitched its nose, sticking its tongue out, its eyes revealing desire.

It could sense the pill’s effects, feeling the longing from deep within its bloodline.

Ji An patted the massive head of the Rock Armor Bear and said with a smile:

”Breaking through the Great Realm isn’t an easy task. Are you ready?”

Dahuang was a demon beast of Earth-Grade talent. It had been striving to purify its bloodline in recent years, making it difficult to reach the Golden Core Stage, but relatively easier to ascend to the Chao Origin Stage.

If it couldn’t break through, it would be a waste of all the spirit fruits it had consumed over the years.

Dahuang growled lowly, showing its sharp teeth that glinted with a cold white light under the moon.

A breakthrough to the Great Realm signified the sublimation of life essence. No creature would refuse such temptation.

”As long as you’re ready to endure some hardship, let’s get started.”

Ji An stretched out his hand. Dahuang deftly licked the pill and swallowed it.

Soon, its demonic power began to surge rapidly. From its bones came cracking sounds, as if countless mice were scurrying beneath its skin.

This was the manifestation of the rampant medicinal power from the pill, unlike the pill the Cyan Deer took during its breakthrough, the medicinal power of the Earth Vein Flame Heart Pill was much more fiery.

The Earth Vein Flame Heart, as the name suggests, refers to the volcanic lava churning beneath the earth.

Earth’s weight and fire’s explosiveness are both synonymous with power.
