Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

Chapter 215: Chapter 208: Great Sun Bing Fire (Part 2)

The Water Element Demon Beast mutated into the Ice Attribute. Once it breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, its attacks will carry Cold Poison.

The longer the battle lasts, the more its power will manifest.

“It merely has potential. Who knows how long it will take to grow up.

If it weren’t for the Celestial Essence Pear seeds gifted by Senior Brother, I wouldn’t be confident in raising it.”

Ji An smiled, extended his hand, and said:

“Senior Brother, please come inside for a chat.”

The Celestial Essence Pear aids the growth of Water Element Demon Beasts, which is why he is confident in raising the Cyan Water Turtle.

Every few days, he would feed the Cyan Water Turtle a small piece of Celestial Essence Pear. Its growth has been rapid, already doubling in size.

By the time it breaks through the Mid-stage Qi Refining, it should welcome the next round of Celestial Essence Pear maturity.

The two entered the stone house and took their seats. Xia Yuhuan brought out dried mulberries and dried meat to entertain the guests.

Ye Changqing ate two pieces of dried meat and smiled:

“The seeds of Celestial Essence Pear are not too rare. If Junior Brother wants to find them, he can always manage to do so.

It’s not much of an achievement to grow a Celestial Essence Pear. A fertile Spirit Field is all that’s needed.

The difficult part is growing a pear tree in a short time and having it bear fruit.

In the future, with so many high-tier Spirit Plants from Red Flame Peak, raising Beast Tamers will become extremely easy for Junior Brother.”

He quickly calculated the output of Red Flame Peak in his mind: the Biluo Tree produces Wood Element Spirit Fruit, Spiritual Peaches, Spiritual Apricots, Dragon Blood Tree produces Fire Element Spirit Fruit, Celestial Essence Pear produces Water Element Spirit Fruit, Earth Spirit Fruit Tree produces Earth Element Spirit Fruit.

If he can find a Gold Spirit Wood, the Spirit Woods here will complete the Five Elements.

The Sect’s other Spirit Farmers are only skilled in cultivating one or two types of Spirit Plants; for example, Ge Ying is skilled in cultivating Wood and Fire Elements, while Lin Mao is skilled in cultivating Earth Element Spirit Plants.

In the past few hundred years, the Sect has produced only this one prodigy now before him, mastering the cultivation of four types of Spirit Plants.

Ji An lightly shook his head and said:

“Senior Brother overestimates me. Too many Beast Tamers are unsustainable. I have no plans to raise another one right now.”

He wasn’t raising production-type Demon Beasts like the Spiritual Silkworm; combat-type Guardian Beasts are Gold-devouring Beasts, and rapid cultivation is resource-intensive.

With his current wealth, he couldn’t afford the strain.

“That’s because you haven’t encountered a better one. If you come across a Demon Beast or Beast with a Heavenly Grade Bloodline, I doubt you would be unmoved.”

Ye Changqing took out a few Array Discs and added:

“The Magic Array is completed.”

“That was fast? Only half a month.”

Ji An was thrilled, accepting the Array Disc for inspection.

“It was also luck. The day after you informed me, an Array Master came by asking if there were any tasks.

If the Earth Grade Bloodline Fire and Earth dual-element Rock Armor Bear is cultivated, who knows what fierce creature it could become.”

“That depends on whether the issue of bloodline synergy can be resolved.”

“I have faith in Junior Brother.”

…

After seeing Ye Changqing off, Ji An summoned Golden Fur and the Rock Armor Bear, and found a spiritual energy-rich spot at the foot of Red Flame Peak.

It was close to an underground cavern, convenient for bloodline refinement.

The Array Master needed to draw array patterns on the tiny space of the Array Disc, and crafting a Magical Array was quite challenging.

Setting up the Magical Array was much simpler; it required burying the Array Disc into the appropriate ground according to the Array Map, practically brainless.

Ji An buried the Array Disc, activated the Magic Array by casting with a spell, and a faint yellow light glowed.

He stepped into the coverage area of the array and felt threads of Earth Element Spiritual Power enveloping him.

He exited the Magic Array, fed the little bear a medicine pill, and then tossed it into the array.

The Rock Armor Bear enjoyed the environment, happily playing on the ground.

Golden Fur tilted its head suspiciously, cautiously stepping in.

After staying a few breaths, it felt uncomfortable, jumped out, and then used Earth Element Technique to run away.

This Magic Array was specifically designed for Demon Beasts with Earth and Fire dual bloodlines; other types of Demon Beasts would not find it comfortable.

Ji An closely observed the reaction of the Rock Armor Bear; its fur faintly gleamed with a golden luster, and the tuft of red fur on its chest radiated red light, very peculiar.

Seeing this scene, he exclaimed:

“This is professionalism.”

The Sect’s Secret Technique seemed quite effective, at least for this Beast Taming situation.

About a quarter hour passed, the little bear climbed out of the Magic Array and scurried off.

Ji An nodded slightly, deciding to refine once every three days, and check the effects every half-month, to determine if any adjustments were needed in the medicine pill dosage.

…

Time flies like an arrow, the months pass like a shadow.

The pine nuts from Red Flame Peak were about to mature; half a year had passed.

Xia Yuhuan stood on tiptoe, looking toward the Mulberry Field, her brows slightly furrowed, showing an anxious expression.

“Sister, what are you looking at?”

Xia Yu Lian, carrying a bamboo basket, came over curiously.

She had dug up some fresh bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, planning to make a fresh bamboo shoot braised venison for lunch.

“It’s almost noon, and Junior Martial Uncle hasn’t had breakfast yet.”

Usually, Ji An’s cultivation ends around a quarter past 7:00 AM; today, for some unknown reason, it has greatly exceeded the time.

Cultivation progress is a gradual process; the increase in cultivation time shouldn’t suddenly jump this much.

Xia Yuhuan was somewhat worried, suspecting Ji An might have encountered a mishap in his cultivation.

Xia Yu Lian set down the bamboo basket and looked toward the Mulberry Field, noticing that the usual emerald light was not present, and became a bit concerned as well.

“Should we go check?”

“I just took a look from afar while riding a Talisman Bird and didn’t find anything amiss.

Because I was worried that Junior Martial Uncle might be at some critical moment, I didn’t dare to get close.”

At this moment, Ji An felt as if he had transformed into a towering tree, growing luxuriantly, stretching his branches and leaves freely under the sunlight.

In the sunlight, threads of almost invisible golden light flowed in with the Spiritual Qi as he inhaled.

As Spiritual Qi circulated in the Immortal Vein, passing through the Zhiyang Acupoint, the Bing Fire Dao Seed suddenly flashed brightly for a moment.

After several Grand Circulations, the Spiritual Qi was refined into a drop of luminous and lively magical power.

When the magical power merged into the Dantian and dripped into the Sea of Magical Power, Ji An felt a shiver throughout his body and exited the cultivation state.

He slowly exhaled, carefully savoring the rhythm he felt during cultivation just now.

What do plants need to grow? Taking root in the earth, nourished by rain, and sunlight is also indispensable.

The sun, representing Yang, allows the Power of Bing Fire to provide vitality to all things.

Therefore, the Evergreen Wood Skill can draw upon not just three types of Spirit Mechanism, but four!

Ji An suddenly felt as if his Sea of Consciousness experienced a cosmic explosion from which something strange sprouted.

The mysterious rhythm gradually faded away as he glimpsed the shadow of the Mulberry Wood on the ground, and was startled.

Looking up at the sky, he realized the sun was nearly overhead; it was already noon.

Once he came to his senses, he immediately felt his stomach growling, a hunger like the rising tide engulfing him.

Ji An grinned wryly as he finally understood the significance of Fasting Pills.

Today he started cultivating at 5:00 AM and finished close to noon, increasing his cultivation time to three double hours.

Starting from the Chao Origin Stage, a cultivator can absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism to aid their own body, but such benefits still couldn’t match the consumption.

Now that he can sit in meditation for three double hours at a stretch, how long can those High Cultivators sustain their cultivation?

Without chewing on Fasting Pills, being disturbed by hunger while cultivating is really troublesome.

Ji An powered up his magical power and flew toward the Cold Pool.

Xia Yuhuan saw the familiar figure appear and shouted:

“Quick, Junior Martial Uncle is back, serve the food.”

The two sisters rushed to the kitchen and brought out the spiritual food kept warm in a food box.

Ji An swept the food clean like wind scattering the clouds and then drank a cup of Tier Two Pine Nut Wine, nodding in satisfaction, feeling comfortable.

Evergreen Wood Skill had further advanced, putting him in a pleasant mood.

Comprehending more of the Cultivation Technique Divine Intent would, in the future, increase the speed of refining Spiritual Qi and, consequently, the speed of cultivation progress.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ji An’s mouth as he wondered when he could break through to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, and whether it would be earlier than Senior Brother Liu Yu.

Just as he was lost in thought, a flying ship flew into Red Flame Peak.

On the ship, a female cultivator wearing a light green silk skirt suddenly widened her eyes, murmuring in surprise:

“Why are there so many Tier Two Spirit Woods here!”

In the sunlight, the green and fiery red spirit lights shone brightly, exceptionally eye-catching.
