Success in Cultivation

A disciple was passing through this area on his training journey when he discovered this pangolin.

Originally, he intended to kill it, but after talking with the people and observing it for several months, he realized that the pangolin indeed meant no harm.

Therefore, they did not take any action and left the pangolin there.

"Accumulating Yin Merit? That's a rare practice among demons."

Having cultivated to this point in his life, Fang Zelin had indeed rarely seen a demon who acted in this way.

Yunzi nodded upon hearing this. "That's true."

As he spoke, he glanced at the village in front of him, his eyes sparkling with a glint of light, and then he saw wisps of orange-red light rising up from the village.

Upon seeing this, Yunzi frowned.

"Wu Qing."

"Disciple is here."

Upon hearing his master's call, Wu Qing took a step and his figure blurred as he arrived in front of him.

"I sense there is an illness in this village. You should take a few disciples and go there, disguised as wandering Daoist priests, to help the villagers cure their ailments."

The disciples of this sect are still able to use the most basic talismans to cure illnesses.

This is the most basic Earthly Fiend Technique.

For some common illnesses, drawing a talisman, burning it, mixing it with some water, and drinking it will cure the illness.

This is a Law Technique all disciples who go down the mountain to wander must master, so that they won't be helpless if they encounter sick people who have no money for treatment.

"Yes, disciple obeys."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qing turned around and glanced at them. Then he nodded to his disciples, and together they changed into Daoist robes, preparing to carry some talismans into the village.

Fang Zelin didn't say much about Yunzi's arrangement, but instead turned to look at the rice paddies beside him.

He frowned upon seeing the cracked state of the field.

Reaching into the field, one can dig out a large clump of dried, hardened soil.

Is this place experiencing drought?

Fang Zelin frowned as he looked at the rice paddy in front of him.

He reached out and pinched the rice stalk, but the grains on it were shriveled and dry, just a rice husk.

"It must be a drought, but we don't know how long it's been going on."

They had crossed countless mountains on their way here.

Upon arrival, it was immediately apparent that the place was somewhat desolate.

They had already reached the village entrance, but there were hardly any villagers in sight.

"Strange, if there are pangolins here, it shouldn't be difficult to dig out some water to irrigate the fields, right?"

Fang Zelin turned to look at Yunzi, a hint of doubt on his face.

If this pangolin truly wanted to accumulate Yin Merit, it shouldn't have let such an opportunity slip by.

You can't exactly say that the drought was caused by the other side, can you?

These words were not spoken aloud, but Yunzi had already guessed this from the sound of them.

She immediately frowned. The pangolins here were discovered by disciples of Rising Tide Valley. Could it be that her disciples had been deceived by this demon?

After thinking it over, Yunzi didn't rush to a conclusion.

We need to inquire further about the specifics before we can draw any conclusions.

"Master!"

Just as the two were having some doubts, a disciple ran out of the village and spoke as soon as he came up to them.

"Master, only a few villagers have contracted the disease. The rest of the villagers aren't in the village. I heard they went up the mountain to worship the Great Immortal Mountain Strength."

"Great Immortal Mountain Strength?"

Yunzi was slightly taken aback when she heard the name.

"It seems to be that pangolin, whom the local people call a great immortal, and they even built a temple for it in the mountains."

The disciple in front of him had already inquired about the information and immediately spoke upon hearing it.

"Fellow Daoist, shall we go take a look together?"

Yunzi turned to look at Fang Zelin and extended an invitation.

Fang Zelin nodded upon hearing this, "Then let's go take a look together."

The area is arid, and there's also Yunzi's earlier statement that the pangolin is accumulating Yin Merit; the two combined make up for it.

But that made it impossible for them not to go and see.

If the drought here is caused by this pangolin, then this demon must be captured.

With this thought in mind, Fang Zelin didn't rush to leave, but instead waved his sleeve.

The next moment, clusters of dark clouds began to gather.

Then, the drizzling rain fell from the clouds, gradually seeping into the parched fields.

However, the area here is quite large, and a single Law Technique cannot cover such a vast area.

Fortunately, Fang Zelin now possessed nearly a hundred years of cultivation. After casting two Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique, he completely covered the fields, ensuring that all the fields received the blessing of rain.

"Alright, let's go!"

After finishing these tasks, Fang Zelin clapped his hands and said to Yunzi.

Yunzi stared blankly at the Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique in front of her, feeling the traces of Spiritual Qi emanating from the rain, her face filled with even more surprise.

This Technique of Summoning Clouds and Bringing Rain seems a bit off, doesn't it?

Yunzi naturally knew about the cloud-controlling and rain-making techniques in the Heavenly Gang Technique.

However, this kind of cloud-and-rain manipulation technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, and it requires the seal of heaven and earth to be used.

Generally speaking, Daoist Sect disciples practice the Technique of Praying for Rain within the Earthly Fiend Technique.

After successfully mastering the Technique of Praying for Rain, one can pray to the heavens for rain, but whether rain will fall, how much rain will fall, and the extent of the rain are all uncertain.

It seems somewhat useless, but it's better than Law Technique.

But neither of these Law Technique should contain Spiritual Qi mixed in with the rain, like Fang Zelin's technique.

"Fellow Daoist, your Rain-Making Technique seems rather unusual; there's even Spiritual Qi within the rainwater?"

Yunzi withdrew her gaze, her eyes filled with surprise.

The disciples of Rising Tide Valley were also somewhat puzzled at this moment.

Using Law Technique in this way, consuming one's own Law Power, is this senior truly not worried at all about the depletion of his own Law Power?

"Yes, when I was learning this Law Technique back then, I went down a slightly wrong path, and that's how I ended up like this."

Fang Zelin nodded, then pointed to the Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique, "I call this Law Technique the Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique, and I find Law Technique quite useful."

"When I travel around, I often help the people irrigate their fields. This Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique contains Spiritual Power, which can increase the yield of rice considerably. It is one of the few things I can do for the people."

It's just a matter of casting Law Technique, consuming a little Law Power.

For Fang Zelin, this was indeed a very simple matter.

"Fellow Daoist is indeed kind-hearted; even after achieving success in cultivation, you haven't forgotten such matters."

Upon hearing this, Yunzi's face showed a hint of admiration.

Even if this Fellow Daoist Fang may not lack Law Power, the Spiritual Qi available for cultivation is still limited.

If it's completely absorbed, then there's nothing left.

She truly admired this fellow Daoist for achieving this.
