Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique - Chapter 369 - 323: Bountiful Harvests

Cultivators who have developed a Wood Mansion in their eyes may gain Divine Power, which is related to their innate talent.
They may gain one of three Divine Powers: Seeing through illusions, Penetrating mists, or Spying on Yin souls. However, there’s a greater chance they won’t gain any Divine Power at all.
Although Ji An prayed that he would gain a Divine Power, he didn’t actually hold much hope.
Unexpectedly, he gained the power to Penetrate mists, an unexpected delight!
This is like playing a game without the fog of war, allowing him to venture out to find Qi-eating lands with confidence.
Within the sect, the Five Elements Qi of gold, fire, and wood can be consumed, but the earth and water Qi must be sought out externally.
In fact, Earth Element Qi can also be consumed, but due to the actual condition of the Spiritual Vein, the sect strictly prohibits disciples from consuming Earth Element Qi.
For Ji An, before venturing out to consume Qi, he needs to completely eliminate the Blood Transformation Soul-Chasing Curse.
Otherwise, if he encounters the Golden Feathered Eagle Demon King, he’ll be in danger.
Ji An laughed heartily and continued to cast spells on the Spirit Field.
His Penetrating mists Divine Power is still very weak, but as the core of the Wood Element Divine Mansion continues to grow, one day it will penetrate the Nine Nether Mists.
What is the Nine Nether Mists? It’s the deepest black mist beneath the earth.
On the roof of the stone house by the Cold Pool, Han Mountain gazed at the distant thunderclouds with boundless longing in his eyes:
“I wonder if I can become as powerful a Spirit Farmer as our master!”
In his view, his master is like an immortal who commands the wind and rain, mastering all Planting Techniques.
He heard Wei Songtao mention that their master had perfected all Foundation Establishment Stage Planting Techniques.
Such an all-around excellent Spirit Farmer, there is only one in the entire Western Continent.
“I’m not trying to discourage you, junior brother, but without striving desperately, it’s impossible. Our master is a Chao Origin Stage Cultivator!
Your clever and perceptive senior sister, however, has great hope to become as powerful a Spirit Farmer as our master.”
Lin Lan slightly shook her head, full of pride.
“Hmph! It’s just that she has one more Great Success Level Magic Technique than me!
Do you even know that my Flame Fire Spell is about to break through to Perfection Level?!”
Han Mountain knew his senior sister’s like for flaunting her authority. After practicing the Flame Fire Spell to the Great Success Level in just one year, he felt even more of her subtle hostility.
“That’s impossible!”
Lin Lan exclaimed. At his pace, reaching the brink of breakthrough in the Flame Fire Spell couldn’t be possible.
“Why not? I’ve had multiple epiphanies while practicing the Flame Fire Spell! Have you?”
Han Mountain spoke arrogantly, though in reality, he’d only experienced one epiphany. Claiming the spell was nearing Perfection was also an exaggeration.
He couldn’t stand the condescending tone she used, aiming to knock down her overflowing sense of superiority!
Lin Lan was at a loss for words. She hadn’t experienced a single epiphany.
’Does the junior brother possess a Fire Element Constitution? Oh no, the senior sister’s authority won’t be effective in the future!’
Seeing her face change, Han Mountain felt secretly pleased, leapt off the roof, and returned to his stone house.
…
Ji An flew on a cloud to the Red Cloud Pine Forest, releasing the Azure Dragon Shocking Skill, Zhurong Divine Fire Spell, and Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill in sequence.
This area encompasses a total of fifty acres of Spirit Field, entirely covered by the three Magical Techniques.
There are 404 Tier Two Red Cloud Pines and 96 Middle-grade Spirit Pines here now.
This year’s Lower Grade Pine Nut yield reached an astonishing 140,000 jin, and 38,000 jin of Middle Grade Pine Nuts, earning small merit easily.
As the number of Tier Two Red Cloud Pines continually increased, the forest’s density gradually decreased, now only containing 500 trees, achieving the dream of turning all into Tier Two Spirit Wood.
Ji An nodded proudly, strolling to the Purple Fire Gourd Field.
The seeds had been continuously refined, and this half-acre Spirit Field now held sixty gourd plants, half of which had reached Tier Two.
However, there was still no appearance of a Tier Two Middle Grade Gourd Vine, unsure if it could happen.
After checking the growth of the Purple Fire Gourds, Ji An went to the Fire Crystal Ant’s nest, retrieving a dozen large red wooden trays from a nearby cave.
He extended his Divine Sense to communicate spiritually with the Ant Queen.
Soon, strong soldier ants vigorously crawled out, dragging the trays into the nest.
Moments later, trays filled with pine honey were carried out by the soldier ants.
Ji An collected the pine honey, placing it in a specially made Storage Bag.
Leaving the ant nest, he opened the Mimic Array and entered the passageway to the Magma Pool.
As usual, he released three spells. When the spirit light from the Zhurong Divine Fire Spell swelled, Cyan Lotus Heart-Burning Fire emerged on the lotus seedpod of the Cyan Leaf Red Lotus.
The flames grew larger than when first discovered, and the flickering flame light was more bright.
Strands of Fire Spirit Light were devoured by the Cyan Lotus Heart-Burning Fire, with the flames flickering, seemingly very pleased.
On the other side, the Nameless Treasure Plant now stood two feet tall, with its trunk covered in golden floral patterns and green, crescent-shaped leaves half the size of a palm, enveloped in auspicious light.
When the Fire Spirit Light transitioned from Ding Fire to Bing Fire, the patterns on the trunk suddenly shone brightly, and the temperature in the Magma Pool rose a few degrees.
Suspended beside the Treasure Plant, Ji An murmured:
“What exactly are you, and what is your purpose?”
Knowing it’s valuable yet unaware of its utility always gave him a gnawing curiosity.
After a moment, Ji An felt slight discomfort in his Immortal Vein, so he stirred his Magical Power to leave.
Having not practiced any Fire Element Technique, his Immortal Vein had limited tolerance for the Fire Element Spiritual Energy, and the environment here contained Fire Fiend, preventing him from staying long.
After leaving the grotto, Ji An rode the clouds to the Copper Patterned Mulberry Field.
Originally, six acres of Profound Leaf Sword Bamboo were planted, totaling two hundred and forty stalks of Spiritual Bamboo, including forty stalks of Tier Two Middle-grade Spiritual Bamboo; the rest were all Tier Two Spiritual Bamboo.
Even so, the bamboo leaves could not meet the sect’s demands, as the artifact refiners are now generous in using Sword Bamboo leaves to cultivate the spirituality of spiritual artifacts.
In response to the sect’s requirements and to gain more benefits, he recently planned fifty acres of Spirit Field.
There was no choice but to plant them in a Tier Two Lower-grade Spirit Field.
He cut down ten acres of Copper Patterned Mulberry and planted two acres of Profound Leaf Sword Bamboo; eventually, he will slowly fill this spirit field with Sword Bamboo.
Ji An activated the Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill, and as light flickered, the earth vein trembled, nourishing profound magic intent spreading far and wide.
Silver light shimmered in the Mulberry Field, and golden light dazzled in the spirit forest.
The branches and leaves swayed, and a clanging sound arose, as if the shadows of swords and blades were fleeting.
This Spirit Field encompassed a thousand acres, with Copper Patterned Mulberry planted on nine hundred and forty acres.
Among them, there were 25 Tier Two Middle-grade Copper Patterned Mulberry, and 512 Lower-grade Spiritual Mulberry.
Similar to the situation in the Jade Leaf Mulberry Field, as the Tier Two Mulberry trees continue to increase, the density in the mulberry field will eventually reduce to forty trees per acre.
Any more than that might affect the earth vein.
This is not what Ji An wishes to see, as he intends to cultivate the main spiritual vein of Red Flame Peak to Tier Two Upper-grade!
After casting the spell on the mulberry field, he went to the earth cave.
Beside the hole, the Rock Armor Bear was snoring loudly; this beast has already advanced to the Third Layer of Foundation Establishment, successfully merging its fire and earth element bloodlines.
Ji An activated the Earth Escape Technique, his figure flickering twice before reaching the Earth Spirit Fruit Tree.
Ten Tier Two Earth Spirit Fruit Trees were planted here, six of which belong to him.
All the spirit trees have been cultivated to Tier Two, four of which are Middle-grade; he and Liuu Suyun each have two.
The Spirit-Seeking Rat noticed its owner’s arrival, shook its furry body, and made a welcoming sound:
“Chirp, chirp.”
Now, it has become a Demon Beast of the Fourth Layer Foundation Establishment.
Ji An crouched down and stroked its fur, pondering how to cultivate his first beast.
The secret technique inherited from his father has exhausted its potential, and he needs to obtain a new cultivation method from the sect.
However, he does not plan to exchange from the Inheritance Hall; instead, he plans to visit Yunhe Mountain.
He can forge a friendship with Senior Sister He Yuhuan of Yunhe Mountain, and also knows her senior disciple, Li Minghui.
Tomorrow, he doesn’t have to report to the Agricultural Hall, so he plans to handle this matter.
Ji An activated the Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill, and gentle spirit light shimmered.
The Soul Nourishing Wood in the moonlight gently danced, its black leaves emitting a purple halo.
The spirit wood is now four feet high with lush foliage.
However, only if it is cultivated to Tier Two will it be useful to him, a task that is daunting.
…
On the next day at 5:00 AM.
Ji An walked out of the grotto, riding the green auspicious cloud to the Ghost Moon Cyan Jade Tree.
He stood facing the east casually; now that he practiced Wood-eating Qi, he no longer needed specific postures.
With his mouth slightly open, he exhaled forcefully, then naturally inhaled.
A stream of cool Wood Element Qi gurgled down his throat, illuminating the liver meridian lines, and the core of his divine mansion shimmered with cyan light.
He has been in the Chao Origin Stage for six years, and the core of his divine mansion is about half the size of his liver.
His cultivation has advanced now, feeling daily improvements, and the Primordial Life Fire grows ever stronger.
Without surprises, he should break through to the First Transformation of Chao Origin within ten years.
After consuming six streams of Qi, Ji An flew to the Fire Element Spirit Plant Garden, and sat near the Dragon Blood Tree.
In this orchard, there are eight Tier Two Lower-grade Dragon Blood Trees, two Middle-grade; six Tier Two Lower-grade Spiritual Apricots, four Middle-grade.
There are also sixteen Tier Two Middle-grade Spiritual Peaches, nineteen Tier Two Lower-grade, and fifteen Tier One Top Grade.
To say the least, Red Flame Peak is now one of the richest mountain peaks.
With these tier two spirit plants, Ji An’s wealth accumulates at a speed that no Chao Origin Stage cultivator can rival.
In just a few years, he will become the ’wealthiest’ in the Chao Origin Stage.
Ji An sat down and moved the Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture.
Nature’s spiritual energy rushed to him, various colors of Five Elements Spirit Light surrounded him.
The Wood Element Spirit Light was lush, Gui Water Spirit Light was deep black, and the colors of Ji Earth Spirit Light and Ding Fire Spirit Light were brighter than ever.
Inside him, the five organs emitted five colors, the meridian lines on the surface of each organ rhythmically shimmered in a cycle, with ten Dao Seeds in the acupoints concurrently shining with each corresponding organ.
Now, roughly four-tenths of the meridian lines on the surface of the spleen are opened, while those on the kidneys are about six-tenths.
The lung meridian lines are the fewest, barely half-tenths, much to Ji An’s surprise, as he did not absorb the Gold Element Spirit Mechanism during cultivation.
The current results are entirely due to the passive opening induced by Five Elements Rotation.
Considering this characteristic, Ji An has decided to open the Gold Element Divine Mansion last.
Spiritual Qi flows within the Immortal Vein, the Dao Seeds emit mysterious substances merging within.
As spiritual Qi is refined into magical power and enters the Dantian, the Primordial Life Fire’s light flame dances, spreading the essence of life.
