Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

He carefully put away the Jade Slip and said:

”The content is more than I expected, I’m very satisfied with this trade.”

”Haha, cooperation should be a win-win, that way it will go far.”

”When will the first batch of materials be supplied to me?”

”Right now!”

Wey Xianglin took out a stack of Talisman Paper and a Yellow Jade Bottle, saying:

”Two hundred sheets of Talisman Paper, along with enough Cinnabar.

The Cinnabar needs to be ground into powder and added to the Spiritual Spring, boiled with great fire.

In the future, materials will be provided every two months, and the Talismans will be bought back at the agreed price.

If you have any objections to the price, we can still negotiate.”

”I understand,” Ji An nodded, currently, he was to draw Qi Refining Stage Talismans, and there was no need to dispute over a few Spirit Stones of profit.

...

Location of the Law Enforcement Team.

Tianshui Daoist Monarch placed the hand order on the desk, saying:

”I have already discussed with two other Daoist friends, and they agreed to spread the news across the entire Northern Land.

Now, I need to dispatch emissaries to various locations, which one of you three is willing to go?”

The emissary must have sufficient weight, so he selected Golden Core Cultivators as emissaries.

The three of their Nascent Soul Cultivators jointly signed the hand order to draw attention from all sides.

Demon Cultivators suppressed by the Magic Array for many years managed to survive, and now breaking free to find a safe place, they would surely kill cultivators frantically to quickly regain their strength.

Daoist Master Chi Yun glanced at the other two, then said:

”Daoist Monarch, I am willing to take a trip.”

”Good, I bestow upon you two Tier Three Upper Grade Talismans for protection.”

...

Two months later.

Red Rock Immortal City returned to its former bustle, and the recent matter of the Demon Cultivator was made public, making all cultivators aware of the danger and take precautions, which was a strategy from the higher-ups.

This way, if any cultivator found anything suspicious, they could immediately report it, otherwise, solely relying on the Law Enforcement Team and the backbone of various clans would be impossible to search the vast Northern Land.

After the initial panic, life had to go on, and cultivators who needed frequent outings had no other method besides being more cautious.

Ji An followed the clerk to the Divine Brush Spirit Armor Pavilion on Divine Fire Street, this time not rushing with the Wind Control Technique, feeling much more composed.

He arrived at the Earth Fire Chamber and said with a smile:

”Is this the only place the Daoist friend meets guests?”

Every time he came to see him, it was in the Earth Fire Chamber, you could still feel the rolling heat waves, evidently having just finished work.

Guu Tai put down his wine cup, every time he ended refining work, he would have a few sips.

”Haha, you guessed it, come quickly and take a look at the refined Spirit Armor.”

Saying so, he took out a bunch of armor plates with a dark brass luster.

Reaching out to pinch an armor plate, he said:

”Each piece of Spirit Armor has a Ruyi Dharma Prohibition, when covering the body it can extend the same area, some parts of the armor plates also have the ability to shrink, allowing it to perfectly fit the body.

The edges of the armor plates have grooves and concave-convex clasps that quickly assemble into a complete Spirit Armor when activating the Spell.”

He conveyed the Spell by sound transmission and demonstrated the corresponding Dharma Seal.

”Currently, forming the armor takes the time of one breath, preparation in advance is needed.

With Sacrificial Refinement, this time will shorten, and if the spiritual nature of the armor plates reaches a high enough level, the speed of forming the Spirit Armor will be much faster.

The Earth Element Spirit Armor has great defensive effects against sharp Spiritual Artifacts like Flying Swords and needles, as well as Magic Techniques except for the Wood Element, but is weaker against blunt force shock damage.

He detailed the pros and cons of the Spirit Armor without holding back.

”Daoist friend can now try activating the Spell!”

Guu Tai’s gaze was bright, due to the additional Transforming Essence Divine Mud, the armor plates’ spiritual nature and defense power had increased.

Ji An, full of anticipation, activated the Spell, changing the Dharma Seal in his hands.

All armor plates emanated a gentle glow, floating around him, while exuding a heavy, carrying Magic Intent.

Wu Earth has more defensive power, so this is a Spirit Artifact with Wu Earth inclination.

The armor plates spun rapidly, then flew towards him like moths to a flame, covering his body.

His neck and backs of his hands were covered, only his fingers were not protected.

Guu Tai took out a silver Flying Sword adorned with ancient patterns, saying:

”This Flying Sword is a Tier Two Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, specifically taken by me to test defensive Spiritual Artifacts.

Now let’s test the effect of the Celestial Soaring Armor, how about it?”

Ji An activated the Mixed Gold Profound Armor Spell, smiling:

”Go ahead, no need to hold back.”

Guu Tai sensed a slight fluctuation of magical power, seeing the opponent’s face glowing with golden light, and exclaimed in a playful tone:

”It seems the Daoist friend doesn’t completely trust my craftsmanship.”

”Don’t misunderstand, I naturally have a fear of magical attacks, and without using all my defensive measures, I never feel at ease.”

In theory, a Tier Two Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact is very difficult to break through a Top-grade defensive Spiritual Artifact, but what if the opponent accidentally targets his face?

He hadn’t physically tested the body’s defensive power, and wasn’t very confident, but with the Great Perfection Level Metal Element Defense Technique, he was at peace.

Guu Tai activated the Spell, the Flying Sword emanating a cold glaring light, stabbing and slashing continuously in frontal attacks, never outside the tester’s line of sight.

The surface of the armor plates emitted yellow Spirit Light upon being attacked, Ji An could sense the opponent’s full-powered attack, but his body only felt a slight impact.

”You can stop now.”

After the attack stopped, Ji An carefully inspected the armor plates that were attacked, finding even slight scratches absent, and couldn’t help but praise:

”The Celestial Soaring Armor of Daoist friend really lives up to its name.”

Guu Tai put away the Spiritual Artifact, smiling with pride:

”Of course! Yet you didn’t trust, which makes me furious.

Since taking over this Artifact Refining Shop, I’ve only been taking orders for Talisman Brushes and Spirit Armors, with skills surpassing those of my father and grandfather.

If they are still alive, they would surely be proud of me!”

His tone brimming with pride, the Guu Clan would prosper under his leadership.

His several children all had high talent in cultivation, if a Golden Core Daoist Master emerged among them, the Guu Clan could rise to be a new major clan in the Immortal City.

Ji An hurriedly complimented a few words, taking out a bottle of Tier Two Upper Grade Pine Nut Wine, saying:

”This bottle of Spirit Wine is an extra token of appreciation, please do accept it.”

Guu Tai accepted the wine jar, boldly popping open the Sealing Mud.

With the aroma of wine permeating, his eyes lit up, he said:

”Good wine, I was just venting, the goodwill I accept.”

He secretly thought, ’My extra addition of those Transforming Essence Divine Mud wasn’t in vain!’

The two sat down to talk, the atmosphere much more cordial.

Ji An sighed and said:

”It’s a pity the Spirit Armor cannot be enhanced through Blood Sacrifice to improve its spiritual nature, otherwise I can’t imagine how much more powerful it could be!”

”Haha, perhaps you don’t know, refining Spirit Armor requires individually refining each armor plate, and if you undergo Blood Sacrifice, you’d have to stay here for several months.

Moreover, if carrying out the Blood Sacrifice, it could have adverse effects.

If there’s a significant difference in the spiritual nature of the armor plates, it will cause issues in the cohesion of the Spirit Armor. In this case, it’s better to slowly perform Sacrificial Refinement overall to improve the spiritual nature of the armor plates.”

Guu Tai explained, because the Celestial Soaring Armor is made up of multiple armor plates, strictly speaking, it’s a combination with different individuals.

It’s not possible to create an overall spiritual nature like other Spiritual Artifacts, even if you could elevate it to a Magical Treasure, there’s no possibility of Transformation.

That’s a downside, for which he currently has no solution.

Ji An took out a hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones, settled the remaining payment, and said with a wry smile:

”I plan to refine Leg Armor and Face Armor, but now I’m short on finances, I’ll refine them in a few years.”

He needed to reserve enough Spirit Stones to buy a slot into the Secret Land, that was the most urgent matter,

because of the agreement with the Wey Clan, he still needed to stay here for a few years, having ample time to accumulate Spirit Stones.

If before leaving the Spirit Stones were not enough, he planned to sell the Tier Two Top Grade Azure Dragon Wood.

Without the support of Red Flame Peak, he lived a rather poor life as a Spirit Farmer, which was an unavoidable situation due to the nature of a Spirit Farmer.

Guu Tai raised an eyebrow slightly, many people pass off like this.

”Whatever suits you, the choice is in your hands.”

Ji An smiled and said, ”I genuinely wish to customize the remaining Spirit Armor components, when the Spirit Stones are accumulated to a certain amount, I will inform you in advance to collect the materials.”
