The dragon’s roar faded into the distance, yet Ji An’s heart remained stirred; the value of top-grade spiritual objects is far more expensive than high-grade spiritual objects.

After harvesting one, he kept some materials in hand, and the rest he planned to sell through the sect’s channels, providing more funds to trade with Central Continent cultivators.

The sect’s store in Cyan Cloud Immortal City sent news that the merchant flying ship from Central Province arrived in the Immortal City by yesterday evening.

He and Han Yan agreed to head to the Immortal City three days later, from where they would directly depart.

Thinking of this, Ji An immediately took out two Communication Golden Swords to report the good news to Zhengyang Ancestor and Brother Jia Yu.

The golden stream of light shimmered in the night sky and quickly faded away.

Ji An rode on the Auspicious Cloud and continued to cast magic on the Spirit Field.

Two double hours later, he returned to his grotto mansion; in the medicinal garden, the Celestial Essence Ginseng had six alternate leaves on each petiole, the color showing a deep dark green with slight signs of drying.

Two bright red seeds, the size of fava beans, had formed parasol-shaped clusters at the top.

The Celestial Essence Ginseng was fully mature, and Ji An carefully collected the seeds and dug it out.

The root was larger, roughly the size of a forearm in a spindle shape, similar to other types of ginseng, with a light yellow skin covered in red spots.

"Haha, this Celestial Essence Ginseng is a size larger than those cultivated in the sect’s medicinal garden."

Ji An took out a Jade Box and stored the Spirit Ginseng. He glanced at the now-empty medicinal garden, pondering what to plant in the future.

After a moment of thought, with no clear ideas, he decided to consult Sister Han Yan tomorrow for further decisions.

He walked leisurely into the quiet chamber and saw Ji Pan sitting on a pudun made of his treasured Black Soul-Calming Grass, its luster having dimmed significantly.

Perhaps it could serve another seven or eight years before completing its mission.

He closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his Dantian, and his Divine Sense immediately entered a world full of light.

After many years of cultivation, Ji An considered the Dantian an extension of the body, a ’little world’ that shared life and death with the cultivator.

The body possesses three Dantian; the first developed at the start of cultivation is the Lower Dantian, located three inches below the navel, also known as the Ancestral Acupoint.

When a cultivator breaks through to the Golden Core Stage, the Middle Dantian is developed, located at the center line of the chest, housing the Golden Core.

After forming the Golden Core, one begins the Refining Qi to Divinity stage of cultivation, continuously pouring Spirit Soul Power into the Golden Core to nurture it.

Eventually, the Pill transforms into a Nascent Soul, using its power to reflect the illusory Sea of Consciousness into reality, thereby opening the Upper Dantian.

It is said that major sects believe that only when the three Dantians are all developed can one be considered to have some achievement in cultivation.

Thinking of this, Ji An couldn’t help but sigh; to those Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, most cultivators in the world probably seem as insignificant as morning fungi.

The Dantian is a space of absolute quiet, yet to the Divine Sense, it feels vibrant and alive, full of vitality and noise.

The Primordial Life Fire has five layers; the innermost layer is the cyan Wood Element Spiritual Flame, which inspires a sense of burgeoning life and upward momentum upon observation.

Beyond the cyan flame is the red Fire Element Spiritual Flame, warm yet explosive, occasionally bursting into flame flowers like blooming red lotuses.

Among the red flames, the Earth-Departing Flame Banner was only the size of a mung bean, rotating uniformly in a circular motion. If not for the golden brilliance enveloping the banner, its position would be hard to detect.

The outer layer of the red flame is covered by the yellow Earth Element Spiritual Flame, exuding a heavy and all-encompassing Divine Intent where the Wuji Xinghuang Banner lies hidden, silently occupying a spot without moving.

The cyan and red flames are very full, while the yellow flame seems much thinner. The silver-white Gold Element Spiritual Flame and the black Water Element Spiritual Flame that form the outer layers are even more scarce.

This was unavoidable since he hadn’t yet absorbed Metal Qi or Water Qi; the current state was possible thanks to the help of the Stone Turtle.

At this moment, the Stone Turtle approached the Primordial Life Fire, opening its mouth and exhaling five breaths of Clear Spirit Qi.

The scene instantly became radiant, turning the Dantian into a sea of light.

The Earth-Departing Flame Banner sprang up joyfully, and Ji An’s Sea of Consciousness echoed with a joyous phoenix cry.

It was then he noticed that the phoenix bird pattern on the banner had absorbed a wisp of Clear Spirit Qi, causing its luster to flash brightly for a moment.

Having done all this, the Stone Turtle returned to its original place, silently concealing its merits and reputation.

’Safeguard against day and night, but a family thief is hard to guard against; you actually stole a taste!’

Amused, Ji An realized that the Earth-Departing Flame Banner had gained some benefits, and the Wuji Xinghuang Banner likely did too.

However, the apricot yellow Banner was very low-key, embodying the principle of silent prosperity, showing no peculiarities.

If his speculation was correct, these wisps of Clear Spirit Qi would help in enhancing the spirituality needed to give birth to Artifact Spirits.

He wasn’t concerned about the growth of the Primordial Life Fire being affected; to truly comprehend the essence of Five Elements Mutual Generation, one must achieve Five Elements Balance.

In other words, the intensity of all the elemental spiritual flames should ultimately be coherent, each reaching the current strength of the Wood Element Spiritual Flame.

If a top-grade spiritual artifact could give birth to an Artifact Spirit before breaking through the Golden Core Stage, it would aid in overcoming the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation.

Ji An ceased focusing on the Primordial Life Fire, connecting his mind with the Stone Turtle, as lines of text appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
