Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

The flying ship ascended into the sky, slowly leaving Red Flame Peak.

Wei Baiyang waved frantically until the flying ship disappeared from sight.

In the past, he had longed to leave the family, but when he truly left, he realized the reluctance in his heart.

Ji An looked at the other’s lost expression and said in a low voice:

”Come with me.”

The master and disciple entered the living room. After Ji An sat down, he pointed to the chair beside him, ”Sit down and let’s talk.”

”Master, I can stand.”

”No need to be so formal. There aren’t that many rules here. If I tell you to sit, then sit.”

Once the disciple was seated, he said in a deep voice:

”Not bad, you have now reached the Third-Layer Qi Refining Stage, much stronger than I was back then. Did your father ever mention me in front of you?”

”In response to Master, my father often talked about your deeds. You planted a lot of Talisman Grass by Jade Water Lake, and he was responsible for providing Talisman Ink and retrieving Talisman Paper and Talismans...”

Ji An nodded lightly, Wei Songnian had not exaggerated anything; what was said was fact.

”From these deeds, you should understand that I am a Spirit Farmer. Since you have become my disciple, you will inevitably also be a Spirit Farmer.

I will provide more support to help you reach the Chao Origin Stage. At that time, you only need to complete Spirit Farmer tasks. If you desire to develop in other areas, I won’t stop you.

I am from Ningcui Cliff, and our lineage also has an Alchemy Inheritance. There is no problem if you want to become an Alchemist.”

He explained the situation and asked:

”Is everything clear?”

”Clear,” Wei Baiyang was actually a bit disappointed; he did not want to be a Spirit Farmer dealing with Spirit Fields, but rather a cultivator formidable in Magical Combat.

However, remembering that his master was a Golden Core Cultivator, this disappointment immediately vanished.

With his master’s support, reaching the Chao Origin Stage was not so difficult.

His father dreamed of making the family become a Chao Origin Stage level family, and he was fortunate to be ”arranged” by his master to become a Chao Origin Stage cultivator. Speaking of which, being a Spirit Farmer was very worthwhile.

Ji An asked, ”Since you’ve already tested your aptitude, which of the five elements does your physique lean toward?”

Wei Baiyang recalled seriously and said:

”I have higher affinity with the Wood Element, but it’s still limited.”

He remembered that during the test, the green light on the Spirit-Sensing Pillar was the highest, but it didn’t far exceed the others.

Ji An nodded slightly, most cultivators were like this, with relatively balanced Five Elements sensing power.

He pondered and said:

”The sect’s Qi Refining Stage cultivation techniques only include three: the Qingyuan Scripture, the Bing Fire Scripture, and the Kun Earth Scripture. You should choose the Qingyuan Scripture as it will be more beneficial for your growth.

Once you reach Foundation Establishment, choose the Evergreen Wood Skill.”

He suddenly laughed, ”Just like me back then.”

Wei Baiyang felt proud, thinking to himself:

’If Master can become a Golden Core Stage cultivator, maybe I have hope too?’

In the Western Continent, a Golden Core Stage cultivator was synonymous with the strongest.

Thinking of this, a silly smile appeared on his face.

Ji An coughed, pulling his disciple’s thoughts back, and continued:

”Once you’ve processed your Sect Jade Token, you will stay at Red Flame Peak to cultivate until you break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you can obtain a sect-allocated Grotto Mansion and receive several dozen acres of Spirit Fields, then you can move away and manage your own Spirit Fields.

With these Spirit Fields that don’t require paying sect rent, coupled with higher-level Planting Techniques, you’ll live quite comfortably.

You have a senior sister and a second senior brother, who both reached the Chao Origin Stage a year ago, and they are only over a hundred and twenty years old.

Your aptitude is the same as theirs, as long as you’re willing to work hard, plus my support, it’s no problem to break through to the Chao Origin Stage.”

Painting a vision for the disciple to encourage them to perform well.

Since he is Wei Songnian’s offspring, more assistance will be provided, but this support will not be too apparent.

Red Flame Peak has Tier Two top-quality spiritual veins. Cultivating here allows one’s cultivation to advance rapidly even without taking pills.

...

Inside the flying ship’s cabin, Wei Songnian’s face was beaming with joy:

”Baiyang becoming Fellow Daoist Ji’s disciple makes reaching the Chao Origin Stage not difficult in the future.

Once he becomes the core of the sect, he shall distinguish himself from the family, but the bloodline connection remains, so we’d always have a link within the sect.

The next step, if the family can nurture a Chao Origin Stage cultivator, Little Bamboo Mountain can thoroughly prosper.”

His tone was impassioned, achieving this step is worthy of his title as clan leader.

Yinn Qiuyun sighed, ”How challenging it is to cultivate a Chao Origin Stage cultivator, it also requires a Nourishing Yuan Pill, and while we can afford such a pill, purchasing just one would deplete nearly all our family savings accumulated over the years.

After that, we still need to gamble that the cultivator with the pill can successfully break through.

For forces without deep inheritance, each step upward is extremely difficult.”

Wei Songnian felt some guilt in his heart; he hadn’t informed his Dao companion about Ji An’s promise to give two Nourishing Yuan Pills.

Because he feared that after he left, if his Dao companion got the pill and broke through to the Chao Origin Stage, Little Bamboo Mountain would no longer belong to the Wei Clan.

He gently patted his Dao companion’s back, his movements tender and filled with love:

”What if we have a Nourishing Yuan Pill?”

”What did you say?”

Wei Songnian took out a gift box and opened it, revealing a Jade Bottle with a Sealing Array inside.

He poured out the Pill within, and a faint medicinal fragrance spread out. He inhaled deeply and said with delight:

”This is the Nourishing Yuan Pill... Fellow Daoist Ji promised us two Nourishing Yuan Pills, and two Soul Nourishing Woods given in exchange was truly worth it!

This is the first pill, and in a few years, we will receive the second one.

Qiuyun, you have the potential to break through to the Chao Origin Stage, so you will take this pill.

If I depart this world, you will be the backbone of the Wei Clan.”

Yinn Qiuyun’s face showed an expression of gratitude.

...

The seasons changed, and time flew by, a decade passed in the blink of an eye.

In the living room by the Cold Pool of Red Flame Peak, Ji An sat in the main seat, answering questions for his disciples.

All three disciples attended him, and five years ago, Wei Baiyang broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and is now a Second-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

As the disciple of a particularly wealthy Golden Core Stage Cultivator, he truly received many benefits.

At this moment, a stream of golden light flew in from outside, swirling around Ji An like a lively Swimming Fish.

He reached out and caught the Communication Golden Sword, explored it with his Divine Sense, and then showed a sincere smile:

”Good news, Hall Master Lin Jiuxiao of the Law Enforcement Hall has reached the Five Qi Chaoyuan realm and will break through at Sunrise Peak in three days.”

He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and finally, it had arrived.

At this moment, his heart was fervent, as the mystery of the Stone Turtle absorbing Dao Rhyme from others’ Thunder Tribulations was about to be unveiled.

Lin Jiuxiao and Lin Qiu Bai had similar cultivation, and if Lin Jiuxiao could break through, Lin Qiu Bai’s breakthrough should not be far off.

If the Stone Turtle could absorb Dao Rhyme, he could obtain two portions of Dao Rhyme in a short time.

Lin Lan’s eyes sparkled, ”If Elder Lin breaks through successfully, doesn’t it mean the Sect will have four Golden Core Stage Cultivators?

This would make our Sect the undisputed leading power on the Western Continent.”

Currently, Yuanhe Mountain has only one Golden Core Cultivator, Luofeng Valley has two, and our Sect has three.

It’s clear who is stronger.

Han Mountain beamed, ”The prosperity of our Sect is unstoppable.”

Over the years, all disciples could feel the growing strength of the Sect, with even more abundant resources available.

Ji An nodded, ”At that time, make sure to observe near Sunrise Peak, experiencing the might of a Golden Core breakthrough firsthand would be beneficial.”

”Understood!”

The three disciples responded in unison, and Lin Lan said with a smile:

”When Master broke through back then, you didn’t inform us, I thought it was some Elder Lin breaking through.”

Han Mountain almost said, ’Me too,’ but stopped himself.

Ji An smiled faintly, ”If I told you, perhaps you would have been more nervous than I was.

Alright, let’s continue with discussing the opening of the Fire Element Divine Mansion...”

An hour later, the disciples bade farewell and left.

Ji An rode the clouds to the peak of Red Flame Peak, took out the Fireproof Bead and infused it with Magical Power, then dived down.

This is a Tier Two Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, commissioned to be refined by Senior Brother Zhuu Xiangrong a few years ago.

The red Spirit Light shield expanded, and the rising golden-red mist couldn’t affect the Spiritual Artifact in the slightest.

You get what you pay for; the effectiveness of a Tier Two Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact is indeed trustworthy.

Every month he came here once to check on the growth of Fire Coral and cast spells on the Spirit Plants.

The environment here is very suitable for Fire Coral, and Ji An soon harvested several Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Plants.

He would grind the Fire Coral into powder and spread it on the land of the Gourd World, and the effect of improving the soil was evident, with the yield of Pearl Blood Rice increasing once again.

...

The night was dark, without a moon, yet the starry river was brilliant.

After casting spells on the Spirit Field, Ji An returned to his Grotto Mansion and entered the Quiet Chamber, taking the Gourd Stone in hand and entering the Gourd World.

When his feet touched the yellow earth, he immediately felt a unique peace, his Spirit Soul seemed serene, and everything was harmonious.

The Wuji Xinghuang Banner flew out from his Dantian, transforming into an Earth Qilin, leaping into the lush branches and leaves of the Gathering Essence Tree.

Now, the Spirit Vein Grade of the Gourd World had been cultivated to Tier Two Upper Grade.

Through testing and comparison, Ji An found that the leaves of the Gathering Essence Tree indeed had a great promoting effect on the cultivation of Spirit Plants.

The Earth Spirit Fruit Tree, which had been nurtured with the ash of the yellow leaves over the years, had reached Tier Two Top Grade a few years ago, when the Spirit Field Grade was only Tier Two Middle Grade.

This was previously impossible, but after years of observation, Ji An’s experience was:

’The Spirit Field’s Grade will directly affect the Spirit Plants’ Grade, with the Spirit Plants’ Grade being able to be at most one Grade higher than the Spirit Field’s.’

Other Earth Spirit Fruit Trees have just been cultivated to Second-Level Upper Grade, the difference is still evident.

The selected Spirit Peaches, Ghost Moon Cyan Jade Trees, Celestial Essence Pears, and Copper Patterned Mulberries have all reached Tier Two Top Grade, similar to the Earth Spirit Fruit scenario.

The Soul Nourishing Woods and Dark Night Trees are now cultivated to Tier Two Middle Grade, a speed much faster than before.

Ji An is now reassured, with the Treasure Plants of Tier Three level maintaining such rapid growth momentum, as long as he can elevate the Spirit Vein Grade of the Little World to Tier Three Lower Grade, it won’t take many years for him to enjoy Tier Three level Spiritual Objects.
