Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

Five thousand Great Merits can be converted into five hundred thousand Small Merits.

When Ge Ying heard about the rewards the disciple received, her heart blossomed with joy, even more so than if she had received the reward herself.

So many Small Merits were equivalent to the gains of more than half of her life.

She exchanged a glance with Zhong Yuefei, and they both could see the happiness in each other’s eyes.

Ji An was not complacent. For other cultivators, this reward was an enormous income, but for him, it was just five to six years of income.

Through sheer effort, he had significantly elevated the GDP of the sect, and in a few decades, he would become a ’financial tycoon’ of the sect.

”This doesn’t count,”

Daoist Master Zhengyang waved his hand and said with a gratified smile:

”Even if you didn’t say it, the sect would still search for more rare Spirit Seeds and seedlings, which you can exchange for using Small Merits.

Make another request; as long as it’s not excessive, I will agree to it.”

The disciple has already proven his value, and the sect needs only to fully support him and wait for the flowers to bloom.

The more prosperous Red Flame Peak becomes, the more the sect benefits from it.

Ji An scratched his head, revealing an honest smile and said:

”I hope the sect can acquire more knowledge about cultivation and Chao Origin Stage Techniques from Middle Continent cultivators.

I want to research more Five Elements Magic Techniques, which might help me understand the Five Elements Mutual Generation in the future.”

After the spiritual vein of Red Flame Peak was upgraded to Tier Two Upper Grade, the various Spiritual Mechanisms that the Stone Turtle could absorb increased by twenty to thirty percent, and the Five Elements became more balanced.

His speed of enhancing magic techniques would be faster than before.

As long as he could elevate any technique to the Great Perfection Level, he could surely accumulate the foundation for the Dao Seed.

Once the Dao Seed improves, the Spiritual Mechanism consumed to enhance techniques will accordingly decrease.

This was the fundamental reason why he tended to perfect all techniques to the extreme.

Daoist Master Zhengyang smiled and said:

”With such a request, the sect is also a beneficiary. Do you have any more personal requests?”

Ji An found it difficult. As of now, he had no urgent needs. After thinking for a while, he said:

”Can the sect help collect the refining methods of other pseudo Five Elements Banners?

I don’t need the magical treasure level refining methods, just enough to refine top-grade spiritual artifacts.”

Lifebound Magical Treasures need to undergo the cultivator’s own Golden Core Thunder Tribulation for refining. Other top-grade spiritual artifacts can be elevated to the magical treasure level by directly channeling celestial thunder for refining.

However, channeling celestial thunder has drawbacks, as top-grade spiritual artifacts have a high probability of being directly destroyed by the thunder. When conditions permit, Golden Core cultivators always prefer to directly refine magical treasures.

Eyes suddenly wide open, Daoist Master Zhengyang said in surprise:

”You already have two Five Elements Banners, isn’t that enough? I’m telling you, spiritual artifacts and magical treasures are not better the more you have. Placing them in the Dantian for nurturing will slow down your cultivation.

If you have collected all Five Elements Banners in your Dantian, part of the magical power you absorb and emit daily will be consumed by them.”

The consumption of nurturing top-grade spiritual artifacts by cultivators increases sharply with the number of spiritual artifacts.

Master Yuxiao interjected:

”The consumption of magical power is secondary; once the spiritual artifacts store enough magical power, the consumption of magical power reduces significantly.

But too many spiritual artifacts put too much burden on the Primordial Life Fire and can affect all aspects of cultivation. You need to carefully consider this.”

He had the same idea back then, nurturing three top-grade spiritual artifacts; his cultivation efficiency plummeted, and he had to painfully remove one and only nurture two.

In the last few decades before breaking through the Golden Core Stage, he only retained one top-grade spiritual artifact.

Ji An said solemnly:

”Acquiring more pseudo Five Elements Spiritual Treasures is my dream. In the future, I will work hard to fulfill this wish, but when breaking through realms, I will make appropriate compromises.”

The few breaths of Clear Spirit Qi that the Stone Turtle spouts annually are his backing, and his Primordial Life Fire, which is much more vigorous than other cultivators of the same tier, is his confidence.

Currently, he owns two top-grade spiritual artifacts yet doesn’t feel any pressure from nurturing them; he wants to try increasing the number of spiritual artifacts in his Dantian to three.

Master Yuxiao chuckled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, as many cultivators believed themselves to be chosen ones, just as he did back then.

He looked to the other side and asked:

”Senior brother, what do you think?”

Daoist Master Zhengyang gazed into the distance and said after some contemplation:

”The prices for such knowledge from Middle Continent cultivators are exceptionally high. When the Business Alliance’s flying ship arrives, I’ll consider purchasing the corresponding inheritance if resources are sufficient.

Knowledge related to cultivation is the first priority; various magic techniques follow, and the refining methods of top-grade spiritual artifacts are last.”

Cultivation knowledge can enrich the sect’s Spirit Farmer heritage. By establishing the Agricultural Hall now, the aim is to build a foundation as rich as that of Luofeng Valley.

Increasing the varieties of magic techniques can diversify the means of all Chao Origin Stage cultivators.

In his experience, the possibility of obtaining the refining methods for top-grade spiritual artifacts is very slim.

Factions possessing such knowledge inheritance only wish to sell finished products. Take the Golden Spirit Sect, for example; no matter what, they wouldn’t trade the refining methods for the Earth-Departing Flame Banner and Wuji Xinghuang Banner.

Daoist Master Zhengyang looked at Ji An seriously and said:

”These years are a very critical period. The sect needs to allocate significant resources to exchange for Gold Core Pills from Middle Continent cultivators.

Therefore, allocations for other resources will decrease. The sect will try its best to acquire cultivation heritage, but purchasing magic techniques and refining top-grade spiritual artifacts can only be done as resources allow.

The sect will surely strive to improve everything you proposed, I promise.”
