Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

The group turned and walked out of the hall, either riding clouds or wielding flying swords, heading towards Yingri Peak where the teleportation array to Cyan Cloud Immortal City was located.

The teleportation arrays connecting with the outside world must always have disciples on guard; Yingri Peak is the location of the Law Enforcement Hall, so there are disciples on duty constantly, making it very suitable for overseeing the magic array.

Master Yuxiao led at the front, and nobody spoke as the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy.

The Sect Leader has now begun to appear aged, wrinkles increasingly covering his face, and his eyes becoming cloudy.

When such conditions appear on a Golden Core Daoist Master, everyone knows what it means: it represents the decline of vital energy and diminishing lifespan, indicating that the person’s life has entered a countdown.

The Sect Leader was the sect’s first Golden Core Daoist Master, and over the three hundred years since he succeeded to the position, the sect has achieved great development.

He brought back the Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture from the Central Continent, the core technique of a former Nascent Soul Grand Sect, which allowed the sect’s inheritance of techniques below the Golden Core Level to rival those of the Central Continent Major Sect.

Moreover, the tier of the sect’s two main spiritual veins was gradually elevated, stabilizing the Golden Core inheritance.

It can be said that the Sect Leader paved the way for these people to achieve the Golden Core stage; without him, everyone’s chances to break through to the Golden Core Stage would have been greatly reduced.

In silence, they flew to Yingri Peak, and the Daoist Masters stepped onto the teleportation array under the adoring gaze of the disciples.

The light twisted and transformed, and in the next moment, everyone arrived thousands of miles away at Cyan Cloud Immortal City.

Master Yuxiao was the first to step down from the teleportation array and said:

”The auction officially starts at 7:15 PM. Now there’s still ample time; everyone can choose to rest here or stroll around the Merchant Flying Ship.

Before 7:00 PM, everyone should head to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, indicating that you are attending the auction, and naturally, someone will guide us.”

”I plan to visit the talisman shops on the flying ship. Who would like to join?”

Everyone responded enthusiastically, but Ji An waved his hand, politely declining:

”I opt to rest here for now, and will join everyone later.”

He currently had no intention of shopping, planning to act alone after the auction was over.

Many things in the Little World couldn’t be exposed, such as the Jade Cocoon during the Spirit Devouring Insect’s metamorphosis; he wanted to inquire if these items had other uses.

In Red Flame Peak, Spirit Devouring Insects are similarly reared, but they metamorphose much less frequently compared to those in the Little World, and the Jade Cocoon formed during metamorphosis is filled with various-colored spots, far less pure and flawless than those in the Little World.

After everyone left, Ji An went to the guest room, sat cross-legged on the Pudun, and immersed his mind into his Dantian, connecting with the Upper Stone Turtle.

Over the years, quietly cultivating in the sect, he was able to first elevate the Geng Metal Divine Thunder, this offensive technique, to the Great Perfection Level.

Currently, the time to cast the technique is about 0.5 seconds, with a range of fifty yards, allowing for precise strikes within three hundred yards.

This is perfectly usable in actual combat; the technique’s attack power will continue to increase with the advance of cultivation, which is the significance of cultivators practicing techniques.

For example, when Ji An currently uses the Cold Wind Technique, a Qi Cultivation Stage technique, he can unleash a wind belt with a width of forty to fifty yards, capable of instantly freezing the blood of many Foundation Establishment cultivators encountering it to death.

Apart from Lifebound Magical Treasures, the magical treasures of Golden Core Cultivators need continual updating to maintain sufficient attack power, whereas refining techniques is a one-time effort, which is very advantageous for Ji An.

He disconnects from the Stone Turtle and pulls out a Jade Slip, placing it against his forehead.

This is the Tier Three talisman inheritance acquired from Red Rock Immortal City; now that Tier Three spirit woods are being cultivated in Red Flame Peak and the Little World, he can start refining Tier Three talisman papers to prepare for painting Spirit Stabilizing Talismans.

It records a very straightforward talisman paper: stripping the bark of Tier Three spirit plants, painting talismans with cinnabar, and coating them with a prepared secret medicine before re-attaching the bark onto the spirit tree.

The talisman is constantly nourished by the spirit plants, its power increasing day by day, equivalent to the spirit plants always nurturing the talisman.

In the Cultivation Realm, these types of talismans are called Treasure Talismans because the bark is sourced from spirit plants, which doesn’t cause conflict.

However, the number of talismans a spirit plant can bear is limited, and the Five Elements attribute of the spirit plant must match the talisman’s Five Elements attribute.

If a spirit plant bears too many talismans, it will affect its own growth, and for fruit trees, it will affect the quantity and quality of the fruit produced.

A Tier Three spirit plant can bear one to three Treasure Talismans, depending on the robustness of its trunk.

Ji An calculates that once the spirit plants in the Little World grow mature, he will own a considerable number of Treasure Talismans.

In that case, transcending realms to defeat stronger opponents will be commonplace.

However, this is akin to a ’pay-to-win’ strategy; dropping each talisman equates to spending a substantial amount of top-grade spirit stones.

Unless it’s a last resort, he wouldn’t resort to such actions.

The normal manufacturing of Tier Three talisman paper in the inheritance involves using leaves from various Tier Three spirit plants, with some spirit medicines as auxiliary materials to refine it.

This operates on a similar principle to crafting talisman paper from Talisman Grass, with relatively low technical difficulty; the challenge lies in gathering materials, which is fairly easy for Ji An and will continue to become easier.
