Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

The only drawback is that the area of the Little World is still small, unable to present the abundant harvest scene from Red Flame Peak.

Ji An patted his chest and whispered:

”Don’t be greedy!”

With the support of a Little World, even the core disciples of those Nascent Soul Grand Sects in Central Continent wouldn’t be as well-off as he is.

The only advantage those disciples have over him is the uninterrupted inheritance. As long as they’re capable, they can elevate to the Nascent Soul Level.

The cultivation technique of the Golden Spirit Sect can only advance to the Mid-stage Golden Core. If Ji An breaks through the Golden Core Stage, he would need to change cultivation techniques.

He exhaled; it’s too early to think about these things now. Quickly understanding the Five Elements Mutual Generation is the top priority.

He took Pearl Blood Rice from the warehouse and put it into a small silver basin, performing the Spring Breeze and Rain Skill to wash it, then added some Peach Blossom Honey and poured water into the pot.

Covering the pot, he activated the jade-colored Pill Fire to start steaming the rice.

The cooking utensils and seasonings here are complete. Even if he were trapped in some desperate place, he could persist for hundreds of years, unless the enemy could also enter the Little World.

Joyfully eating a large bowl of Spirit Rice and drinking half a bottle of Spirit Wine, he felt the lingering aroma. If he had a couple of dishes, life would be even better.

Nowadays, to save Spirit Stones, he rarely visits the Drunken Immortal Inn.

With Chi Yun rolling beneath his feet, Ji An rode the clouds and flew to the land covered with white soil, where only two types of Spirit Plants grow.

The silver leaves of the Copper Patterned Mulberry glistened, and the Iron Wire Grass occupied every inch of land.

Ji An truly didn’t know what this Spirit Field would eventually grow, hence he let the spreading Iron Wire Grass be.

Despite the lushness of the Iron Wire Grass, not a single blade grows on other land, as if some unknown Law is restraining them.

Over a hundred jin of Tier One Top-Grade Iron Wire Grass have accumulated in the warehouse.

With his hands, Ji An altered the Dharma Seal, releasing the Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill. Without suitable magic for Gold Spirit Plants, he could only use Earth Element Magic, guided by the concept of Earth-Born Gold.

Every six months, he would uproot and shred the Iron Wire Grass that hasn’t grown for a long time, returning them to the field.

Without a better way to cultivate this land, he could only use the most primitive and straightforward methods. Currently, no benefits have appeared, but no adverse effects have either.

Having done everything, Ji An walked slowly back to the Gathering Essence Tree with his hands behind his back.

He summoned the Celestial Soaring Armor and stored it back in the Grotto Void Stone. The Wuji Xinghuang Banner quickly shrunk, merged back into his body, and returned to the Dantian.

It entered the yellow flame layer of the Primordial Life Fire, moving in the gradient area of red and yellow, bumping friendly against the Earth-Departing Flame Banner, and then separated.

Ji An observed this scene with a smile.

The spiritual nature of these two Spiritual Artifacts is quite abundant. When he breaks through the Golden Core, the Wuji Xinghuang Banner will surely bathe in the Thunder Tribulation and refine into a Lifebound Magical Treasure.

If he has extra strength, he’ll attempt to let the other two Five Elements Banners undergo the Thunder Tribulation.

But this is merely a plan; it depends on what happens then.

Breaking through the Golden Core requires passing the Sixth Level Thunder Tribulation, the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation, and finally the Chaos Thunder Tribulation.

Relatively, the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation is easier to pass, but the Chaos Thunder Tribulation is the real test.

There is a saying in the Cultivation Realm about Golden Core without regrets: one means the quality of the core can’t be changed after the formation, and the other means once you embark on forming the core and pass the tribulation, there’s no turning back.

You either fully pass and achieve Golden Core Cultivation or turn to ashes under the tribulation, with the cultivated Spiritual Qi dispersing into the world.

Numerous cultivators have perished in the final Chaos Thunder Tribulation. Without strong protective measures, even those with adequate cultivation and realm fear to take that step.

Ji An connected to Stone Turtle, ”Leave the Little World.”

His figure disappeared and returned to the Quiet Chamber, the Gourd Stone still hung on his neck, all light restrained, appearing as an ordinary grey stone.

...

The next day, early afternoon.

Ji An stepped into the restaurant; today he’d splurge to host a banquet for Gu Mingyuan.

After greeting the shopkeeper and preparing to go upstairs, he was called back.

”Elder, Elder Gu has already ordered Spiritual Food and settled the bill.”

Ji An slightly raised an eyebrow, his heart skipped a beat. The agreement for him to host was unexpectedly changed, indicating some unexpected events.

He nodded gently, ”Understood.”

Quickly heading to the third floor, he entered the Celestial Character No. 1 Room.

Gu Mingyuan sat facing the door, looking concerned. Upon seeing someone coming in, his expression immediately recovered, and he laughed:

”Fellow Daoist Ji, waiting just for you, come, sit please.”

He waved to several Sound Cultivators, ”Play music!”

Faced with the enthusiastic invitation, Ji An swallowed the words he was about to inquire; delicious food must not be wasted, even if there’s a colossal issue, eat first.

After pleasantries, toasts were exchanged. Once satiated with wine and food, Ji An asked:

”Brother Gu, what’s the situation now with entering the Earth Element Spirit Realm?”

He had asked the other to inquire about it before, and a few days ago mentioned that the allocation meeting for entering the Spirit Realm was held three days ago, so there must be a result now.

Gu Mingyuan smiled with embarrassment and said:

”Unfortunately, the quota for our family was exchanged with other forces. I couldn’t help in this matter.”

Ji An had anticipated this, sighed softly, and said:

”Brother Gu, you speak too heavily. This is beyond anyone’s control. Without you, I wouldn’t even have the qualification to receive news.

Speaking of which, could Brother Gu divulge which families have the quotas?”
