Chapter 136: The New Small Rain Technique
“Hmm?”
Elder Lu was momentarily stunned.
The Small Rain Technique—he had certainly heard of it; wasn’t that used to summon rain?
Ji Yang didn’t reply, merely gesturing slightly as a white cloud began to gather in the air…
…
After a stick of incense worth of time, Elder Lu’s expression changed unpredictably, as if he was making a decision that went against his ancestors.
At this moment, Ji Yang had already finished, a smile on his face.
Seeing that Elder Lu was still hesitating, Ji Yang slowly spoke:
“Elder Lu, you wouldn’t want to live your life without ever breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage, would you?”
Hearing this, Elder Lu’s expression hardened:
“Fine, we’ll do it your way! I will handle things with the elder.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yang felt certain; it was settled.
Although Elder Lu managed this mine, the real power lay with the elders above. Ji Yang had initially thought Elder Lu would report to the elders first, but to his surprise, he made the decision so quickly. It seemed that Elder Lu had some courage!
To be safe, the two discussed further details about the progression of the matter.
Such things cannot rely solely on words.
Ji Yang took the lead, resolutely insisting on entering the mine immediately to prove the correctness of his claims.
Having witnessed the recent events, Elder Lu hesitated no longer. He secretly opened a small pathway in the Formation, allowing Ji Yang and a few guard disciples to enter the mine for experimentation.
At Elder Lu’s command, the few guard disciples, confused and unsure, entered the mine. They didn’t understand the reason, especially seeing that a disciple in the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment was also coming along, leading them to think there was some secret operation in the sect.
However, upon hearing Elder Lu say that today’s mining of the Xuan Iron Mine was all for their personal use, the disciples were immediately tempted and began to mine vigorously.
For them, the Xuan Iron Mine was also a rare material for crafting tools. Such cultivation resources, even if they didn’t use them themselves, could be sold for quite a few spiritual stones!
Elder Lu indeed treated them well!
Despite it being the night when the energy of the earth demons was surging, all the disciples were at the Golden Core stage, so they had plenty of understanding regarding the energy of the earth demons. Staying a night wouldn’t pose a significant problem.
They quickly split up, armed with iron picks, searching for their desired mines.
Seeing his goal achieved, Ji Yang smiled and returned to the mine he had previously dug into, continuing to mine.

…
“Hehehe…”
Perhaps due to the time he had stepped away, the energy of the earth demons had revived again, and he once more heard the laughter of a shadow behind him.
In the moment the laughter echoed, Ji Yang cast a giant fireball, smashing the shadow into ashes, leaving only the remnants of the energy of the earth demons, barely hanging on, and then he continued mining.

…
Before long, other voices began to ring in his ears:
“Dao gives rise to things, virtue nurtures them, form shapes them, and momentum brings them to fruition, thus all things *!@#￥%&……”
This voice seemed to hold a strange truth of the Dao, but upon listening carefully, he found nothing of substance, enticing one to succumb to its allure.
When Ji Yang turned his head, another mass of energy of the earth demons had already formed and was slowly approaching him, just in a different way.
Ji Yang was surprised; he never expected the energy of the earth demons to be so unpredictable.
If he continued listening, perhaps this energy would invade him again.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t understand it.
Ji Yang launched another fireball and resumed mining.

…
“Ancient magical tool, those fated to obtain it, heavenly spiritual treasure…”
After a brief period of mining, a voice once again filled the air.
This time it was neither soft, lethargic music nor the resonating sounds of the Dao, but rather the voice concerning the ancient magical tool.
Ji Yang emitted his primordial spirit energy and soon discovered concentrated energy of the earth demons in a corner.
These energies of the earth demons, bolstered by the Xuan Iron Mine, were plentiful and capable of changing in various ways.
If it were an ordinary disciple, mining at night would indeed be greatly disturbed by this.
But for Ji Yang, this was a hard-earned exclusive mining opportunity, akin to double experience, which fascinated him; he had no time to worry about such things.
As he cast a Fireball Technique, tranquility returned to the mine.
Time passed swiftly, and before he knew it, daytime arrived.
Hearing the ringing of a bell from outside and the approaching footsteps of other disciples entering the mine, Ji Yang finally put away his iron pick.
Well, he would come back later.
He had greatly benefited last night; his cultivation points had reached a total of 135, an increase of seven points from yesterday, which was fairly average.
However, thinking about the opportunity to mine every night ahead, Ji Yang wore a smile.
Soon, the group reunited. Although the other disciples’ eyes were sunken and their faces pale, they still wore smiles, indicating they had harvested quite well, although they likely suffered from the disturbances of the energy of the earth demons while mining.
Before the formation was completely opened, the group took a different route to leave the mine.
Outside, Elder Lu had already been waiting.
Seeing the disciples emerge safely, Elder Lu felt relieved, and after confirming Ji Yang was unharmed, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
However, Elder Lu did not rush the disciples to leave but instead waited in place.
This made the disciples puzzled, but they followed his lead.
Before long, as a white cloud gathered, droplets of white rain began to fall from the sky.
These raindrops were white and carried a distinct aura.
Although the disciples were confused, they did not resist.
As the white rain fell upon them, sizzling sounds echoed from their bodies, and wisps of black mist emerged.
“Hiss!”
The disciples were greatly shocked; they knew exactly what the black mist was.
This was the energy of the earth demons, albeit very sparse. Though not much, it had been stealthily hidden within them while they mined. If they did not discover and deal with it afterward, it would be detrimental to their cultivation.
They never anticipated that this white rain would have such a function, instilling a sense of awe toward Elder Lu.
Elder Lu offered no additional explanation, as he had already discussed these matters with Ji Yang beforehand.
Seeing the energy of the earth demons being washed away from the disciples by the rain, and noticing Ji Yang appearing unaffected, Elder Lu nodded slowly.
After Elder Lu personally examined them to confirm that no remnants of the energy of the earth demons remained, a smile spread across his face.
It seemed that the new rule could be implemented tonight, and surely the disciples would be overjoyed!
Elder Lu exchanged a glance with Ji Yang, sharing a smile; everything was understood without words.
With matters settled, Ji Yang returned to the camp and then entered the mine to continue his mining endeavors.
After all, he was still bearing the burden of past mistakes, merely taking the time to use his improved Small Rain Technique once a day during his leisure hours.
This version of the Small Rain Technique differed from the previous Golden Rain Technique; he had merged the characteristics of the technique with the spell to achieve this result.
With the previous experiences of fusion, Ji Yang skillfully executed the technique, feeling as if he were on a familiar path.
