Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique - Chapter 239 - 226: Cloud-top Jade Tree Seeds (2)

Chapter 239: Chapter 226: Cloud-top Jade Tree Seeds (2)

To comprehend divine intent, one must put in hard work and also have flashes of inspiration.

“Where you invest your time and energy, that’s where your harvest is.

It’s just that sometimes the harvest is too small to be noticed.”

Ji An smiled and said, others do not have a Stone Turtle and cannot know their state in real-time.

If there is no obvious progress for a long time, one might give up.

Walking a hundred miles requires perseverance up to ninety, due to this reason.

What many people lack is persistence before success.

“Thank you for the guidance, Senior Brother Xie,” Huang Feihu stood up and continued:

“I’ve heard that Senior Brother is performing magic techniques outside this afternoon, so I won’t take up your precious time.”

“Then I won’t keep Junior Brother any longer.”

Ji An didn’t offer perfunctory courtesy, he instructed:

“Huang Xuan, Li Cheng, you both accompany Feihu to cut some branches, and dig up two shoots of Profound Leaf Sword Bamboo.

Shoots that are between five inches and one foot are optimal, as they’re easier to survive.

Yu Han, give Junior Brother a jar of Jade Dew Golden Buds. This tea is too rare, and since it’s only top-grade, I haven’t sent it to Junior Brother.

But in half a year, you’ll have a taste.”

This is accumulated experience in transplanting bamboo shoots over many years.

“Understood,” Huang Xuan and the others accepted the order.

Ji An nodded and summoned the Flying Shuttle:

“Junior Brother, until we meet again!”

…

Huang Feihu took out the Flying Ship and cast a spell, making it enlarge with the wind.

“Board the Flying Ship, it’s been a long time since I returned, and the prosperity of the Red Flame Peak is even greater than before.

Both of you, I saw many Tier Two Spirit Plants on my way here, serve as my guides and tell me about the number of these Spirit Plants so I can broaden my horizons.”

Li Cheng laughed and said:

“Let me drive the Flying Ship and have Huang Xuan explain to Junior Martial Uncle.

Junior Martial Uncle expanded fifty acres of Tier Two Mid-grade Spirit Field; the number of Second-Level Spirit Plants now is jaw-dropping.”

The three boarded the Flying Ship and slowly sailed towards the Biluo Forest.

Huang Xuan, proud of his achievement, pointed to the Spirit Field below and explained meticulously:

“Junior Martial Uncle planted two acres of Azure Dragon Wood, a total of fifty trees.

A few months ago, a few Tier Two Spirit Woods were felled, and now there are twelve Tier Two Azure Dragon Woods remaining.”

“There are one hundred and sixty Tier Two Jade Leaf Mulberry, one hundred and fifteen Tier Two Biluo Trees.

As Junior Martial Uncle supplies mulberry leaves and Spirit Fruits in abundance, Elder He Yuhuan from the Beast Taming Hall has nurtured a Five-Colored Deer at the Chao Origin Stage.”

Huang Feihu took a deep breath, having a Chao Origin Stage Beast Taming was a dream beyond his wildest hopes.

The Flying Ship hovered over the Biluo Forest, and Huang Feihu descended on the wind, cutting a bundle of Tier Two Spirit Plant branches, releasing Jade Wood Transformation Skill to increase its primordial Qi, minimizing the loss of their life force.

The Flying Ship circled the peak and continued flying, with Huang Xuan further introducing:

“The number of Tier Two Red Cloud Pines hasn’t increased much, currently there are only eighty-one.

There’s no choice, as the Spirit Vein Node here is too small, it can only support three acres of Tier Two Mid-grade Spirit Field.”

After traveling for a while, the Flying Ship reached over the Profound Leaf Sword Bamboo.

“Currently, there are seventy-two Tier Two Copper Patterned Mulberry, and thirty-six Tier Two Profound Leaf Sword Bamboo.

These Tier Two Golden Leaves have long been reserved by the Artifact Refiners.”

Huang Feihu’s eyes glowed with enthusiasm, and he sighed inwardly:

’These Sword Bamboos could really be considered money trees, I wonder when I will be able to nurture Tier Two Spirit Plants.’

Nurturing Tier Two Spirit Plants means you’ve made it, earning the title of a high-tier Spirit Farmer with a respectable status.

He and Huang Xuan landed in the Sword Bamboo Forest, carefully digging out suitable bamboo shoots.

Huang Feihu used Sealing Spirit Talisman to tightly wrap the bamboo shoots and quickly left after sending the two Qi Refining Disciples to the Cold Pool.

…

Ji An was practicing magic techniques in the wasteland, Spirit Grains took root and sprouted, then turned into Grass Puppets, whose green stems and leaves eventually turned into lifeless yellow.

Watching the Spirit Grains constantly undergo life and death, withering and flourishing, he faintly felt as if he had grasped something.

Spirit Grains rooted in the earth, took root and sprouted, bringing life out of the seed’s dormant state into vigorous growth.

Then their vitality was drained by All Grass and Trees Are Soldiers, burning life to unleash their full potential.

When the last trace of energy was exhausted, life met its end.

How could the Dao of Wood Jia and the Dao of Yi Wood merge to form a complete Wood Element Dao?

At this point, he recalled the concept of Yin and Yang, where Wood of Jia was Yang Wood and Wood of Yi was Yin Wood.

Yang Wood grew vigorously, constantly reaching upwards and capturing more of the Sun Yang Spirit Mechanism.

Yin Wood was low-lying, relying on Yang Wood to survive, and closer to Earth Vein Yin Qi.

Yang symbolizes vitality, Yin symbolizes extinction, does Yang give life to Yin causing its death?

’No, this explanation doesn’t make sense.’

Ji An shook his head, feeling as if he was just a tiny step away from breaking through this understanding, falling into deep thought.

When he came to his senses, the sky had already darkened, stars were scattered across the sky, casting starlight everywhere.

“The time hasn’t come, let’s go back.”

Ji An smiled casually, immersing his mind into his Dantian.

[Magic Technique: All Grass and Trees Are Soldiers (Perfection 51%→52%)

Quicksand Technique (Perfection 63%→64%)]

He summoned the Flying Shuttle and returned to the Red Flame Peak.

By the Cold Pool, lights were bright, and someone was waiting for his return.

The Flying Shuttle descended slowly, Huang Xuan approached, hands cupped in respect:

“Junior Martial Uncle, Junior Martial Uncle Huang has cut more than forty thumb-thick, two-foot long Tier Two Biluo Tree branches.”

Ji An nodded slightly:

“Got it.”

More than forty two-foot-long branches could plant about two acres of Spirit Field.

He turned and said:

“Yu Han, prepare the evening meal, I’m quite hungry.”

“Please wait, Junior Martial Uncle, the Spiritual Food has gotten a bit cold, just now Yu Lian took it to the kitchen to reheat it, I’ll go see if there’s anything else that needs help.”

Xia Yuhuan quickly walked towards the kitchen, her pale blue silk skirt swaying with her movements.

A silver Communication Talisman Sword flew to the Cold Pool, flashing Spirit Light in front of Ji An, vibrating with a “buzzing” sound.

He raised his hand and grabbed the Talisman Sword, reading the message within it.

Soon after, the two sisters Xia Yuhuan brought up the Spiritual Food.

Ji An said:

“Senior Sister Liuu is coming to Red Flame Peak as a guest tomorrow, make sure tomorrow’s lunch is sumptuous.”

Xia Yu Lian said:

“Got it, tomorrow morning at Luoyan Mountain, they’ll be slaughtering an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Wild Fire Bull, I’ll go purchase some fresh meat back.”

She’s always been the one to shop for ingredients.

If there is any high-tier ingredient for sale, disciples from the Beast Taming Hall would notify her in advance.

Red Flame Peak is a big spender and willing to spend Spirit Stones to buy, making it quite popular at the Beast Taming Hall.

“Buy more beef shank, and also some beef spine to stew soup.”

Ji An said, it’s not often they get to eat Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beast.

He paused, then said:

“Almost forgot something, inform Hall Master Wu Yan, in two months, three Tier Two Biluo Fruits will ripen at Red Flame Peak.

Ask him how many fruits he would like reserved.”

He remembered Wu Yan once mentioning his need for Tier Two Spirit Fruits to feed the Cyan Deer, and now that the Five-Colored Deer broke through to Chao Origin Stage, he needed to find a new stable buyer for his Spirit Fruits.

…

In the early afternoon, Liuu Suyun reduced the speed of her Flying Shuttle, landing on a patch of barren land, and the Red Flame Peak was now close at hand.

She formed a spell and put away the Flying Shuttle, then took out a multicolored Flying Carpet.

This was her most prestigious Flying Escape Magical Artifact, except it was a bit slow, it was almost perfect.

Flying in the air, it looked like a drifting rainbow.

This time, she calculated the time, and arrived just in time, at this hour, Junior Brother Ji would surely have finished his cultivation.

Liuu Suyun summoned the Flying Carpet, this Magical Artifact woven from Spirit Silk rippled with a ’special effect’ of water waves during flight, looking very dynamic.

When the Flying Carpet entered the Red Flame Peak, it quickly awed the two sisters Xia Yuhuan with their exclamations.

They’d seen it once before, but were still captivated by the beautiful design of the Magical Artifact.

Xia Yuhuan loudly proclaimed:

“Junior Martial Uncle Liuu’s Flying Escape Magical Artifact is the most beautiful Artifice I have ever seen, bar none.”

Ji An smirked and said:

“You’ve likely seen my Senior Brother Liu Yu’s Blazing Golden Wheel; it’s even more dreamlike than the Flying Carpet.”

The ’special effects’ of the Blazing Golden Wheel during Flying Escape were a whole level above the Flying Carpet.

“Junior Martial Uncle, I was talking about Magical Artifacts, the Blazing Golden Wheel is a Spiritual Artifact, the material alone makes a big difference.”

Xia Yuhuan played with words, the light and shadow effects of Spiritual Artifacts are indeed better, but she would likely never afford it in her lifetime.

The Flying Carpet was different, she felt she might have the opportunity to acquire one.

Liuu Suyun controlled the Flying Carpet to land and gracefully leaped down.

She took out a small palm-sized Wooden Box, speaking as if seeking credit:

“Junior Brother, I have successfully acquired two seeds from a Tier Two Mid-grade Cloud-top Jade Tree.”
