Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique - Chapter 376 - 328: Daoist Master Zhengyang’s Promise (Part 2)
Daoist Master Zhengyang observed two red auspicious clouds descending and slightly raised his eyebrows, saying:
“Ji An, I remember you first established a Wood Element Divine Mansion, how did you manage to establish a Fire Element Divine Mansion so quickly?”
He sensed his disciple’s realm and found that he had not broken through to the Second Transformation level.
Ji An grinned, and explained his situation once more.
Daoist Master Zhengyang’s expression showed more joy as he said:
“According to the Five Elements Mutual Generation theory, when one Divine Mansion reaches perfection, opening a mutually generating Divine Mansion becomes much easier.
Your Wood Element Divine Mansion hasn’t reached perfection, yet you can open a Fire Element Divine Mansion in just a few years. It seems you have a good talent in the Dao of Fire Element as well.”
Having a good fire mastery means it will be easier not only to establish the Fire Mansion but also the Earth Mansion, which made him more hopeful for this disciple’s future.
Ji An chuckled foolishly, without directly answering.
He not only has talent in Wood and Fire Elements but also in the other five elements.
The ten Dao Seeds within his body represent the Five Elements and are not just for display.
However, such matters should not be disclosed, humility is key.
Daoist Master Zhengyang continued:
“I heard that when Azure Dragon Wood is cut, it emits a dragon roar. I came across such tales during my travels in the Central Continent.
It is said that Azure Dragon Wood got its name from an ancient legend.
Originally, it was just an ordinary Spirit Wood, growing near the Cyan Dragon’s nest, and after long exposure to the divine beast’s aura, it mutated, which is why its bark developed dragon scale-like patterns.”
“A Great Power Cultivator, imitating the characteristic of the Eastern Cyan Dragon that awakens all living things in spring, created a spell, the Azure Dragon Shocking Skill.
It is said that this spell can awaken the deep-seated memory in Azure Dragon Wood’s bloodline, allowing Central Continent Divine Wood Sect cultivators to nurture Azure Dragon Wood capable of producing dragon roars.
This kind of Azure Dragon Wood has an excellent Wood Element attribute and, if cultivated to the Top-Grade level, can be used as the main material for a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact.
I’ve only heard of it but never seen it with my own eyes.”
When Daoist Master Zhengyang first heard this news, he treated it as mere trivia.
Because even among the Nascent Soul Sect Divine Wood Sect, only a few cultivators possess the skill to cultivate such spiritual materials.
His eyes suddenly brightened and he asked:
“Ji An, what level has your Azure Dragon Shocking Skill reached now?”
Ji An replied solemnly:
“Reporting to the ancestor, it reached the pinnacle half a year ago.”
“Hiss!”
Jia Yu took a deep breath, he had been in the Chao Origin Stage for over two hundred years, yet had not elevated a single spell to the pinnacle level.
Was it because he didn’t want to?
Of course not, it’s because he was unable!
“Good, good!”
Daoist Master Zhengyang felt extremely gratified, his current feelings mirrored those of when Lin Qiu Bai accepted a disciple with Celestial Grade talent of the Metal Element Dao Body.
To comprehend a Chao Origin Stage spell to the pinnacle level indicates that this disciple possesses extraordinary comprehension.
This may not seem shocking, but achieving this in less than ten years after breaking through to the Chao Origin Stage shows that his comprehension far surpasses that of an ordinary cultivator.
Such a disciple, too, has the potential for a Golden Core!
Next, he needed to focus on how long it would take for the disciple to break through the Second Turn Realm of the Chao Origin Stage.
By doing so, he could roughly estimate the time needed for the disciple to refine all five Divine Mansions to perfection.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he took out a Communication Golden Sword, and kindly said:
“There is my magical mark on it, leave your mark for me.
As soon as you break through to the Second Turn of the Chao Origin Stage, inform me immediately.”
“Yes!”
Ji An took the Golden Sword and handed over his magical mark to the ancestor.
Now he could confirm that he had truly gained the ancestor’s approval.
Daoist Master Zhengyang waved his hand grandly and said:
“Let us go, let’s head to the Red Flame Peak to see the situation.”
…
Red Flame Peak, the stone house at the foot of the mountain.
The Teleportation Array glowed with distorted light as four cultivators appeared upon it.
Ji An took the lead stepping down from the array, forming a spell to open the seal:
“Ancestor, please!”
Exiting the stone house, Ji An rode a cloud, taking his master along with him, as two red and one yellow auspicious clouds flew toward the Wood Element Spirit Plant Garden.
The Tier Two Spirit Plants emitted a gentle spirit light, shining brightly in the sunlight, like gems embedded in the Spirit Field.
Daoist Master Zhengyang overlooked this vibrant land and praised:
“I had not been to the Red Flame Peak before, never thought its Tier Two Spirit Plant density would be so close to that of Tier Two Top Quality Spirit Vein Nodes!”
At this moment, he truly felt the tremendous impact an excellent Chao Origin Stage Spirit Farmer can have.
This disciple once boasted he would cultivate Tier Three Spirit Plants, and now he believed it.
Ji An humbly smiled and said:
“I am not worthy of the ancestor’s praise.”
Ge Ying was somewhat puzzled and asked:
“Why is the spirit plant density so low here? Logically, now that you’ve broken through to the Chao Origin Stage, possessing new planting techniques, you could easily plant more spirit plants.”
She had roughly estimated just now that in most of the Spirit Field, each acre sparsely held about a dozen Spirit Plants.
It was even sparser than the last time she visited; in her view, this was a waste of Spirit Field space.
Ji An explained:
“I did this for two reasons: first, even without my spellcasting, the Spirit Field can sustain the growth of these Spirit Plants.
Second, this approach allows the Spirit Field to nurture the Earth Vein, and over time, should be able to cultivate the Spirit Vein to the Tier Two Upper Grade level.”
He now felt that the Spiritual Mechanism that the Stone Turtle extracted daily from the Red Flame Peak was entirely inadequate.
After elevating the Planting Technique to the Perfection level, he also needed to practice several Magical Combat techniques quickly, to ensure safety when venturing out in the future.
“Cultivating Spirit Vein grades takes a long time, your intention and perseverance are commendable.
If you can cultivate fifty Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Plants at Red Flame Peak, I promise to allow you to use sect resources to cultivate the spirit vein of Red Flame Peak.”
Daoist Master Zhengyang promised earnestly, demonstrating that to cultivate multiple Spirit Plants beyond the Spirit Field grade signified the disciple’s achievements in Spirit Farming equals those of top Spirit Farmers in the Central Continent Nascent Soul Sect.
In such a circumstance, utilizing sect resources to cultivate Red Flame Peak is entirely reasonable, and other cultivators will have no objections.
Ji An’s eyes lit up, and he smiled:
“I will remember the ancestor’s words.
When the day comes that I meet this condition, I will certainly request the ancestor to fulfill the promise.”
The situation at Red Flame Peak is highly unique, being a convergence of Five Elements Spiritual Veins, allowing the Stone Turtle to absorb eight types of Spiritual Mechanisms.
If possible, he preferred not to leave here to choose another Grotto Mansion.
Daoist Master Zhengyang laughed heartily:
“Very well, I await the arrival of this day soon.”
Cultivating fifty Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Plants at Red Flame Peak will enhance sect resources significantly!
And that’s not the end; it implies he can continuously cultivate more high-tier Spirit Plants.
From a long-term perspective, this disciple’s role in the sect far surpasses that of a Golden Core cultivator!
A Golden Core cultivator can only protect the sect for a thousand years, but Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Plants can live for over two thousand years.
Ge Ying could sense the ancestor’s joyful mood and looked fondly at the disciple, with immense pride.
As they spoke, three auspicious clouds landed in the Azure Dragon Wood forest.
“This time, I will personally cut the Spirit Wood.”
Daoist Master Zhengyang stated, as he found a Tier Two Middle Grade Azure Dragon Wood and took out a chillingly cold Moon Blade shaped Spiritual Artifact.
The Spiritual Artifact was like a pond of autumn water, yet it emitted a sharp brilliance, slightly piercing to the eyes.
With a flash of silver light, a deep dragon roar echoed through the forest.
Ji An heard a faint noise, and the Spirit Wood snapped accordingly.
Daoist Master Zhengyang quietly said:
“As expected!
Ji An, I will notify the Diligence Hall, so that in the future, this Azure Dragon Wood forest need not submit Spirit Wood, try to cultivate it to the Tier Two Upper Grade.
You have twenty years, see if you can succeed.”
The special Tier Two Upper Grade Azure Dragon Wood can be traded with Middle Continent cultivators in exchange for scarce resources.
The next arrival of Middle Continent cultivators is estimated to be in about twenty-three to twenty-four years.
“I will do my utmost.”
Ji An stated confidently, the growth of Wood Element Spirit Plants is influenced by three spells.
His Azure Dragon Shocking Skill has already reached Great Perfection level, and it won’t be long before the Cloud Dragon Rain Technique and Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill are also elevated to Great Perfection level.
The combined effect of the three spells gives a formidable hope of cultivating Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Plants within the stipulated time.
