Minor Cloud and Rain Art at Perfection

Ji An's mind trembled, and he immediately understood that it must have been caused by a special transformation in the Minor Cloud and Rain Art.

He immediately sank his consciousness into his dantian and connected with the Stone Turtle.

Master: Ji An

Dao Rhyme: 0

Spiritual Inspiration: Kan Spirit 0.8, Kun Spirit 0.3, Xun Spirit 0.1

Spells: Minor Cloud and Rain Art (Perfection 1%)

Thick Earth Art (Great Accomplishment 66%)

Wither and Flourish Art (Great Accomplishment 25%)

Blazing Fire Spell (Proficient 53%)

Sharp Metal Art (Minor Accomplishment 69%)

The Minor Cloud and Rain Art had truly reached the Perfection level. After laughing three times, Ji An began to ponder intently.

Kan belonged to water among the Five Elements, symbolizing flow, change, purification, and nourishment.

The special aura contained within the Spirit Rain just now should have been the manifestation of water's attribute of moistening all things.

Yet he had never expected that the Minor Cloud and Rain Art at the Perfected Realm could tangibly accelerate the growth of Spirit Grain and Talisman Grass.

Li Changfeng had said that when a spell reached the Perfected Realm, it was skill approaching the Dao. He had not believed it before, but now, he did!

Thinking of this, he was immensely excited.

If a Farming Spell cultivated to Perfection could offer a glimpse of the True Meaning of the Five Elements, then what would he comprehend if he cultivated the Minor Cloud and Rain Art to true Perfection?

But his burning heart quickly cooled. He wondered whether his meteoric progress along the path of spells would draw the attention of people with ulterior motives.

He now knew that Great Accomplishment spells and Perfection spells were entirely different concepts, which was why this concern arose.

However, the Stone Turtle was within his Qi Sea Acupoint. By all reason, no one should be able to discover it.

He had once faced a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and the other party had sensed nothing, which also proved this point.

Therefore, so long as he had a reasonable explanation, he could publicly reveal that he had comprehended a spell at the Perfected Realm.

Judging from the sect's various rules and regulations, the higher-ups were still very willing to nurture talented disciples.

Thinking about it, that made sense. After the sect migrated to the Western Continent, it had fought its way out from among dozens of competitors and continued growing stronger. If they still engaged in schemes and intrigues internally, how could they weather the storms and winds outside?!

The region where the sect was located was a buffer zone for war. The higher-ups certainly understood this well. Under the crushing pressure from outside, they had to stand united within, or they would have fallen apart long ago.

Ji An made his decision. If he could find a reasonable explanation, he would reveal his comprehension of the Minor Cloud and Rain Art at Perfection.

Displaying his talent would surely earn him focused cultivation. Leaving aside everything else, being transferred to cultivate atop a Spirit Vein alone would be a tremendous gain.

The Stone Turtle would absorb more Spiritual Inspiration, allowing his golden finger to be used to a greater extent.

With that thought, Ji An took out the Talisman Bird and hurriedly infused it with spiritual power. Once the Talisman Bird enlarged, he impatiently climbed aboard and flew toward Azure Water Market.

Among the people he knew, Wei Songnian was the most knowledgeable. If he wanted information, he could not go wrong by asking him.

It was morning now, and Wei Songnian probably had not yet arrived at the market. But Ji An's heart itched unbearably, and he did not want to wait until after noon.

The Talisman Bird had been gifted by Zhao Mengyao. It had now reached its twilight years, and it always creaked as it flew.

The memory of falling into the lake last time surfaced in his mind, immediately cutting his urgency in half.

By the time he arrived at Azure Water Market, his mood had completely settled.

It was still early, so he simply landed in an uninhabited spot by the lake and practiced the Sharp Metal Art on his own.

Metal-element and fire-element spells had always been the strongest in attack. Since he lacked the corresponding Spiritual Inspiration, Ji An could only cultivate them painstakingly on his own.

The wondrous transformation brought by raising the Minor Cloud and Rain Art to Perfection made him understand that practicing these low-level spells would also benefit him in the future. At the very least, they could help him comprehend the True Meaning of the Five Elements.

No road in this world was walked in vain; every step counted.

Golden threads burst from his fingertips, gathering and scattering at his will. Occasionally, all the threads condensed into a single point, and when the Golden Light shot forth, it radiated a razor-sharp killing intent.

Wei Songnian counted the Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink, then said with a beaming smile:

"140 sheets of Tier 1 Low-grade Talisman Paper, 48 sheets of Tier 1 Mid-grade Talisman Paper, and 6 bottles of Tier 1 Low-grade Talisman Ink, for a total of 734 Spirit Crystals.

Junior Brother, your harvest this season is outstanding even among veteran Spirit Farmers.

Would you like some more Azure Jade Pills?"

In his eyes, this junior brother had the brightest prospects among the few people he had deliberately befriended.

The concentration of Monster Beast Essence Blood always varied. Producing Talisman Ink was no easy task; it required sufficiently powerful divine sense to sense the subtle changes in the spiritual energy within the ink and finely adjust the proportions of the formula.

Many veteran Spirit Farmers could only make Talisman Paper. The Talisman Ink they mixed was utterly useless.

More importantly, this junior brother was completely different from those veteran Spirit Farmers who desperately hoarded Spirit Crystals.

Not only did he sell materials to Wei Songnian, but he was also willing to spend Spirit Crystals. Aside from descendants of great lineages, Wei Songnian had never seen such a generous disciple.

"Yes, thirty Azure Jade Pills." Ji An took out two Spirit Stones. Only after ensuring his cultivation speed would he consider saving Spirit Crystals.

"Sure thing." Wei Songnian cheerfully accepted the Spirit Stones, packed up thirty pills, and handed them over along with the change in Spirit Crystals.

Back and forth, he had made a net profit of around two Spirit Stones. Wei Songnian wished he could meet customers like this every day.

Ji An swept the pills and Spirit Crystals into his sleeve, then asked:

"Senior Brother, you're well-traveled and knowledgeable. Have you heard of any treasures that can speed up one's comprehension of spells?"

"There are plenty of those, but you still want a treasure that speeds up spell comprehension? Do you want anyone else to live?!

Junior Brother, you must have been born with a powerful divine soul and extraordinary comprehension. Otherwise, your cultivation arts would not improve so quickly."

Counting on his fingers, Wei Songnian launched into an endless explanation:

"You know the Water Essence that Old Huang refines every day, right?

Not only can that stuff enhance the spirituality of Dharma artifacts and magic treasures, but if we refine it, it can increase our comprehension of water-element spells for a certain period of time. The other Five Elements Essences have similar effects.

Enlightenment Tea is a kind of Spirit Tea. Drinking it can temporarily improve one's comprehension, greatly helping with understanding cultivation techniques and practicing spells. The higher the grade of the Enlightenment Tea, the stronger its effect.

It is said that long-term consumption can also provide Nourishment of the Soul and strengthen divine sense.

Soul Nurturing Wood is spiritual wood of Tier 2 or above. After being crafted into a Dharma artifact or magic treasure, it can nourish the soul and temporarily stimulate greater comprehension. Naturally, practicing spells then yields twice the result with half the effort."

"Since we're talking about Dharma artifacts and magic treasures, I once heard Martial Uncle mention a kind of Companion Spirit Treasure. It is nurtured in the mother's womb alongside the cultivator and often possesses unimaginable power.

Cultivators with Companion Spirit Treasures are even rarer than cultivators with Heaven-grade aptitude."

Wei Songnian kept clicking his tongue and let out a long sigh:

"If I had a Companion Spirit Treasure, what would Foundation Establishment and the Chaoyuan Realm amount to? Golden Core would be my starting point.

Every time I think about it, my heart aches. It's all fate—how unfair the heavens are!"

"Senior Brother Wei, perhaps your Companion Spirit Treasure simply hasn't manifested yet!"

A familiar cultivator nearby teased him.

"Get lost, get lost. Companion Spirit Treasures manifest at birth. Watch your stall."

Ji An's gaze tightened as he said softly:

"If news of a Companion Spirit Treasure leaked out, wouldn't its owner be in danger?"

Wei Songnian shook his head.

"A Companion Spirit Treasure is linked to its cultivator's bloodline and is useful only to the cultivator it accompanies. Even if someone else seized it, they could not use it.

Otherwise, wouldn't all Companion Spirit Treasures have been snatched away by powerful cultivators?"
