Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

“That’s exactly my intention.”

Ji An found a middle-grade Azure Dragon Wood, took the Magical Artifact handed by a disciple, and activated it.

A cold light flickered, and wood chips flew everywhere.

Everyone else watched this Spirit Wood closely, both anticipating sounds to emerge and feeling somewhat uneasy.

When the Magical Artifact cut down again, a majestic dragon’s roar erupted, spreading in all directions, as if a breeze swept through.

Ji An felt the impact of the sound was much greater than the previous two times, but it did not harm his mind.

Jia Yu furrowed his brows and said:

“It’s basically certain that these Spirit Woods have undergone unknown changes.

Previously, the Sect’s second-tier middle-grade Azure Dragon Woods never exhibited such occurrences.”

He pondered for a moment and speculated:

“If I’m not mistaken, the reason might lie with the Junior Martial Brother. Could it be that there’s some mystical connection between the Azure Dragon Wood and the Azure Dragon Shocking Skill?”

Only this possibility can barely explain the current issue.

Ji An handed the Magical Artifact back to the disciple and said gravely:

“Cut down two more to see the situation. If they all emit such sounds, we should head back to Red Flame Peak and cut down a few middle-grade Azure Dragon Woods.

If Red Flame Peak also has such instances, it suggests the Senior Martial Brother’s speculation is likely correct.”

He also contemplated the reason for this phenomenon, wondering if it was only when the Azure Dragon Shocking Skill reached the Great Perfection Level that such anomalies would occur.

If this is the case with the Azure Dragon Wood, then would other middle-grade Spirit Woods have this phenomenon too?

Jia Yu nodded and said:

“Yes, let’s do that! But we need to verify one more thing first.

You guys, try cutting down a second-tier lower-grade Spirit Wood and see.

Don’t be afraid, apart from these sounds, there’s nothing else strange.”

These Azure Dragon Woods that emit the sound had no issues, and in fact, their quality improved. He wasn’t too concerned about the Spirit Woods emitting dragon’s roars.

As long as there’s no subsequent danger, he doesn’t care what sounds these Spirit Woods make.

The unusual becomes ordinary, and with two Junior Martial Uncles backing them, the Foundation Establishment Disciples also felt assured and bold.

A Tier Two lower-grade Spirit Wood fell with no abnormalities.

They then cut down two middle-grade Azure Dragon Woods in succession, indeed, sounds still emerged.

Jia Yu scratched his head, “The Spirit Woods have really become spirits!”

Ji An nodded slightly and said:

“I’ll go explain to Lin Mao, and we’ll return to Red Flame Peak together later.”

He was very curious about the situation of the Azure Dragon Woods in his Dao Field.

If they also emit dragon’s roars, but other middle-grade Spirit Woods do not, it can basically be confirmed that a mystical “chemical reaction” is occurring between the Azure Dragon Shocking Skill and the Azure Dragon Wood.

Jia Yu said:

“Junior Martial Brother, you can handle your current matters first. I’ll report the situation to the Sect Leader Ancestor to see if he has any opinions or suggestions, and I’ll come to find you later.”

Daoist Master Zhengyang is currently spending most of his time dealing with the Sect’s affairs, so there’s no worry about disturbing him.

After all, the ancestor is a Golden Core Daoist Master, he might find something.

Ji An nodded slightly, flew on a cloud towards the Agricultural Hall.

The disciples cut away the small branches of the Spirit Woods and processed the trunks into materials about one zhang in length.

Jia Yu took out the Communication Golden Sword and detailed the situation here, then sent it out.

He stored the Spiritual Materials into a Grotto Void Stone ring. The Storage Spirit Ring in his hand is a Sect asset, with internal space comparable to a large hall, specifically used to store large high-tier Spiritual Materials.

After completing all this, he waved and said:

“You can return now, just report the task to the Diligence Hall as usual.

However, keep the matter of the Spirit Woods emitting dragon’s roars to yourselves.”

If this situation were to spread, it’s unknown what kind of impact it could have. It might cause no waves, but it’s better to take precautions.

“Understood!”

“Rest assured, Junior Martial Uncle, we are the type to keep our mouths shut, otherwise we wouldn’t frequently receive high-tier tasks from the Diligence Hall.”

The disciples all patted their chests in assurance.

…

Jia Yu arrived at the Agricultural Hall and said:

“We’re waiting for the ancestor’s reply. If there’s no further instruction, we’ll return to Red Flame Peak.”

“Okay.”

After agreeing, Ji An inquired about strengthening the core of the Fire Mansion.

Currently, there are no plans to open a third Divine Mansion, his spiritual strength isn’t sufficient to support consuming three types of Five Elements Qi simultaneously.

He plans to strengthen the Wood Element Divine Mansion to Perfection, enter the Second Transformation of the Chao Origin Stage, and his spiritual strength will further increase.

Then, while advancing the realm of the Fire Mansion, he’ll open all of the Earth Element, Metal Element, and Water Element Divine Mansions.

Once the Fire Mansion reaches Perfection and steps into the Third Transformation of the Chao Origin Stage, the Blood Transformation Soul-Chasing Curse within should have completely dissipated.

Then he can apply to the Sect to travel outside and elevate the other Divine Mansions.

Jia Yu said:

“After opening my Fire Element Divine Mansion, I chose the Qi of Fire Sun Bing Fire and the Qi of Stone Fire Ding Fire.

Stone Fire exists in the underground magma, with the Sect’s rich Fire Vein providing favorable conditions for consuming Stone Fire.

But the Earth Lung Fire Vein often contains Fire Fiend, requiring cultivation to purify the Qi of Ding Fire, thus wasting quite a bit of time…”

Ji An listened intently, the Fire Qi consumed by the other had differences from his, but many small techniques provided quite a few insights.

As the two exchanged cultivation experiences, about a double hour later, a Communication Golden Sword flew in, landing beside Jia Yu.

He caught the Golden Sword and infused his Divine Sense, then quickly stood up and said:

“The ancestor has reached the top of Ningcui Cliff, let’s hurry to greet him.”

The two immediately exited the main hall and each rode a Fire Element Cloud to fly towards the mountaintop, where they saw Daoist Master Zhengyang and Ge Ying speaking outside a grotto mansion.
