Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

Ji An scratched his head. The concept of fire representing warmth and vitality was understandable, but what did the passionate fervor of magic intent mean?

Did spirit plants need this kind of ’energy’? Was this akin to boosting the spirit plants?

No, it was more like nourishing them with motivational ’chicken soup for the soul’.

The illusion of spirit fire burned, and the ground, originally patterned like black fish scales, turned into red scales.

The radiance of the flames suddenly intensified, and the red spirit flames emitted a golden light, akin to a red sunrise transforming into the golden sun at noon.

Simultaneously, the illusion of the Fire God dispersed in the sky, turning into countless golden sparks that merged into the spirit plants.

The passionate fervor of the Zhurong Divine Fire Spell could also last for four days, but most of its residual effects remained within the spirit plants, not visible from outside.

The light of the flames disappeared, and Ji An changed the Dharma Seal in his hand, releasing the Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill.

The earth pulsated as if a creature were moving within, the earth qi being combed through, exchanging the spiritual qi hidden deep underground with that on the surface.

A warm yellow spirit light illuminated the black soil, spreading the nourishing magic intent.

Ji An sensed the divine intent of supporting and nurturing life, akin to supporting all beings.

He rode a cloud, flying towards the Celestial Essence Pear Garden, where among the twenty spirit trees, six were Tier Two Middle Grade, and the rest were Lower Grade.

Once he established the Water Element Divine Mansion, there would surely be enough Tier Two Middle Grade spirit fruits available.

Ji An first released the newly understood Azure Dragon Shocking Skill, which permeated with vigorous growth magic intent.

The current magic technique could foster the growth of spirit plants, but some of the plants’ energy would be wasted because the residual wood element spiritual energy would be nourished by the water element’s intrinsic power.

He then released the Cloud Dragon Rain Technique, riding a cloud towards the Wood Element Spirit Plant Garden, where he suspended over the tea trees and began casting spells.

At the Great Perfection Level, the Azure Dragon Shocking Skill took effect, and after five years of cultivation, all Azure Dragon Wood elevated to Tier Two Middle Grade.

There were now 685 Medium Grade Jade Leaf Mulberries and a staggering 3,952 Lower Grade ones.

The Spirit Silkworms in the Beast Taming Hall were no longer sufficient to consume so many Tier Two Mulberry Leaves. They were ramping up efforts to breed more high-tier Spirit Silkworms.

According to Wu Yan, the Hall Master of Luoyan Mountain’s Beast Taming Hall, ’We’ve never been this prosperous!’

Why wouldn’t they be prosperous? The number of Tier Two Jade Leaf Mulberries at Red Flame Peak had already surpassed the total in all other areas combined.

After all, Spiritual Mulberries were not the main spirit plants; the sect’s high-tier spirit fields mostly grew spirit medicine materials used to refine Foundation Establishment late-stage and Chao Origin Stage pills.

In the spirit field, there were 472 Tier Two Middle Grade Biluo Trees among 2016 Lower Grade spirit trees.

This similarly led to a production surplus that the sect’s Beast Taming Hall was unable to consume so many spirit fruits.

Ji An now tasked Senior Brother Du Huaiyuan with using Biluo Fruit as materials to brew a new variety of spirit wine.

He handed over three hundred Tier Two Biluo Fruits, though no results had been achieved yet.

But Senior Brother Du was confident, patting his chest, promising that Biluo Fruit Wine could absolutely be brewed, it just needed ’a little’ more time.

Fiery clouds sailed through the sky, accompanied by spirit rain cascading down, as Ji An completed the spell for the five hundred acres of spirit field.

Crystal-clear raindrops struck the verdant leaves, resembling countless hands plucking strings, playing a void spiritual symphony.

With a calm mind listening to the rain fall, the spirit nourishes all things, this sound concealed a sense of time pausing in serene silence.

…

Ji An arrived at the dazzling red spirit light steaming from the Red Cloud Pine Forest, successively releasing the Azure Dragon Shocking Skill, Zhurong Divine Fire Spell, and Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill.

Currently, the woodland contained 246 Tier Two Middle Grade Red Cloud Pines, with the other 254 being Tier Two Lower Grade.

Ji An flew a circle over the pine forest like a lion king patrolling its territory, eventually landing near the Fire Crystal Ant colony.

He moved the spell, opening the Dharma Prohibition, passing through the passage into the magma pool.

A dragon’s roar spread out, with azure brilliance bringing a green tint to the red world.

The magic intent of vigorous growth permeated, as the lotus leaves of the Cyan Leaf Red Lotus emitted more green light, automatically absorbing the azure brilliance.

The fiery pulse on the lotus seedpod gleamed, like flowing fire, looking delightfully vivid.

The bark of the nameless treasure plant showed faint golden feather-like patterns, its leaves crystal-clear like jade, as if washed by water.

Wood creates fire; wood element spiritual energy could enhance the spirit plants’ fire elemental origin.

This treasure plant now stood over four feet tall, with the thickness of a large arm. If approached closely, a sound like bird singing could be heard.

Yet, stepping away from the three-foot proximity of the treasure plant, the sound vanished without a trace.

Ji An’s evaluation of the treasure plant rose even higher, resolved that once Central Continent cultivators arrived again at Western Continent, he would purchase a knowledge jade slip introducing the treasure plant at any cost.

He felt like a beggar possessing treasures, knowing the mystic nature of the spirit plants yet unsure how to employ them, leaving a feeling of slight discontent.

Once the verdant scene vanished, Ji An moved the Zhurong Divine Fire Spell.

The illusion of the Fire God appeared above the magma pool, allowing the red blaze to augment the brightness within, and the Cyan Lotus Heart-Burning Fire appeared on the lotus seedpod immediately.

It seemed to have formed a mutual understanding; whenever Ji An released the Zhurong Divine Fire Spell, it inevitably appeared.

Currently, this Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire was the size of a fist, and the clearly distinct three-layer flame brightly blazed.

Filaments of fire element spirit light melded into the spirit fire, flickering flames danced shapely, like a mischievous child.

The red fire transformed into golden flames, with the illusion of the Fire God exploding into countless golden stars.

A magical scene unfolded, the golden flames and golden light split into two, with the Cyan Lotus Heart-Burning Fire and nameless treasure plant each attracting a portion.

The feather-like patterns on the treasure plant’s bark grew even brighter, while the Cyan Lotus Heart-Burning Fire devoured the golden flames then swiftly vanished.

Ji An cast the Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill, nourishing the pervasive magic intent, as the yellow spirit light covered the magma pool.

He left the earth cave, flying towards the Copper Patterned Mulberry Field.

At this moment, the bright moon rose in the east, its cold light reflected on one’s brows and hair.

Since only the Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill can be effective for Copper Patterned Mulberry and Profound Leaf Sword Bamboo, the density of the Tier Two Spirit Plants in this spirit field is far lower than that near the Cold Pool.

There are only 756 Tier Two Lower-grade Copper Patterned Mulberries, while there are only 50 Middle-grade Spiritual Mulberries, a huge difference.

There are 240 Tier Two Lower-grade Profound Leaf Sword Bamboos, with 80 being Middle-grade Sword Bamboos.

The quantity of Middle-grade Sword Bamboos in Red Flame Peak is now only 26 fewer than in the sect’s Medicinal Garden.

Though possessing so many Tier Two Sword Bamboos, they are still insufficient for the sect’s Artifact Refiners.

Fortunately, the newly opened fifty acres of spirit field have all been planted with Profound Leaf Sword Bamboo; in a few years, more Tier Two Spirit Bamboo will be cultivated.

By that time, it should meet the demands of the sect’s Artifact Refiners.

The number of Artifact Refiners capable of refining Top-Grade Magical Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts is only about twenty to thirty.

Ji An first cast the Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill, followed by the Azure Dragon Shocking Skill.

The Cyan Dragon’s Sky Chant spread the aura of vigorous growth across the spirit field, yet no trace of Wood Element Spiritual Energy appeared.

The leaves of the spirit plants swayed, emitting a metallic sound of clear ringing, akin to joyful applause.

The effectiveness of the new Azure Dragon Shocking Skill will be tested over time.

“Hurry up and grow!”

…

After completing the spell for the mulberry field, Ji An, riding a fiery red auspicious cloud, sped past the mulberry field, through the Profound Yang Wood forest, and descended beside the underground cave.

Not far away, Dahuang’s snoring echoed from the mountain cave; this Rock Armor Bear was now a Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, at the same level as elder brother Golden Fur.

With the feeding of various High-Tier Spirit Fruits and ample meat, the speed at which the Earth Grade Bloodline demon beast improved was astonishing.

In just a few years, it would become the one with the highest cultivation level among many tamed beasts.

Who knows how long Dahuang could retain the top position, as Cyan Deer has already advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Cyan Deer’s bloodline is purer than Dahuang’s, coupled with the most High-Tier Wood Element Spirit Plants in Red Flame Peak, eating a Biluo Fruit nonstop daily, Cyan Deer has reached Third-Layer Foundation Establishment.

Now, this Cyan Deer is able to cast the Entanglement Technique, but the area of effect is large, enough for a radius of three zhang.

The effect can’t compete with All Grass and Trees Are Soldiers, but can be considered a strengthened version of Group Entanglement Technique.

Cyan Deer can also cast a magic technique similar to Jade Wood Transformation Skill, which greatly delighted Ji An.

In the future, if he leaves Red Flame Peak, he can leave the Cyan Deer at home to work!

Its magic technique, having reached Minor Achievement Level in Jade Wood Transformation Skill, continues to grow in power as its cultivation level increases, and can care for Wood and Fire Element Spirit Plants effectively, acting as a Foundation Establishment Spirit Farmer equivalent at Red Flame Peak.

Ji An consecutively cast the Earth Escape Technique twice, arriving at the deepest level of the earth cave, appearing beside the Soul Nourishing Wood.

The Soul Nourishing Wood is now nearly six feet tall, as thick as a lower leg, with many branches, its leaves are very dense, emitting a faint radiance.

A few months ago, it was cultivated to Tier One Top Grade level, thus revealing its magical qualities.

However, the tree branches and trunk at Top Grade level are useless for Ji An.

“Squeak squeak!”

Golden Fur darted to the side of the Soul Nourishing Wood, its fluffy fur shimmering under the moonlight.

Ji An took a Lower Grade Earth Spirit Fruit out of his Storage Bag, tossing it to the tamed beast:

“You remember clearly when it’s time to eat spirit fruits!”

“Squeak squeak,” Golden Fur stood upright, holding the fruit with its forepaws, quickly nibbling it clean.

It lifted the pit, and Ji An took it back to the Storage Bag.

He placed his hand on the Soul Nourishing Wood, using Divine Sense to gauge its life activity, then cast the Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill and Azure Dragon Shocking Skill.

The Cyan Dragon appeared, its roar echoing in the confined space, as the aura of vigorous growth spread around, like basking in spring sunshine.

“Squeak squeak!”

Golden Fur suddenly stood upright, baring its teeth, growling at the Cyan Dragon.

It was the first time it saw a Cyan Dragon and deemed this flying creature in the sky an intruder of its territory.

Ji An chuckled, squatting down to soothe the tamed beast with mussed fur.

“This is the shadow conjured by my magic technique; it just appears real.”

After two breaths, Golden Fur saw the Cyan Dragon disappear, blankly glancing back at its owner.

’Scared this little mouse to death.’

Ji An once more placed his hand on the Soul Nourishing Wood, sensing its vibrant life aura, the magic intent of Azure Dragon Shocking Skill took effect.

He nodded with satisfaction, whispering:

“Grow quickly, I urgently need it.”

Only by enhancing the strength of the Spirit Soul faster, can he absorb more Fire Qi, enabling quicker development of the Earth Element Divine Mansion.

His requirements aren’t high; merely cultivating it to Tier Two level will suffice for use.
