Chapter 51: Sect Leader, It’s Raining Knives from the Sky!
As Ji Yang watched the golden cloud rise into the sky until it vanished from sight without causing any strange occurrences, he finally calmed down.
It seemed he had failed.
Just as Ji Yang prepared to restore his internal magic and continue experimenting, the sky suddenly changed color, and thunder roared from nowhere.
In the next moment, a faint hint of gold appeared in the darkened sky before disappearing.
With flashes of lightning, fine rain began to fall from the heavens.
Watching the rain, Ji Yang paused and quickly extended his hand to catch it.
The raindrops fell into his hand without any reaction, which made Ji Yang breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed this rain had nothing to do with him.
Just as Ji Yang was about to turn and return to his wooden house, he heard the raindrops hitting the spiritual field with a crisp sound.
Ji Yang focused his gaze and saw countless three-striped wheat borer larvae flying everywhere. However, the rain fell like a dense curtain, and those larvae were quickly knocked down, devoid of life, clearly perishing under this rainfall.
This scene made Ji Yang ponder. He reached out again to catch the rainwater and discovered that the rain had a strong penetrating effect. It was just that he didn’t feel much due to his robust physical body.
This is bad.
Ji Yang looked up at the sky and hurriedly ducked into his wooden house.
“Hey, it’s raining again!”
“Why do I feel like this rain is a bit different?”
“This is great! It saves me from using the Small Rain Technique’s magic power!”
Many people looked pleased.
But when the raindrops landed on their heads, everyone screamed out:
“Ouch, that hurts!”
“Run! Enemy attack!”
…
“It’s coming! It’s coming!”
“It’s going to rain again! Quickly inform all the brothers in seclusion!”
Within the He Dao Sect, many disciples, witnessing the thunderbolts in the sky, excitedly rushed outside.
The last rain at the He Dao Sect remained vividly in their minds; many brothers gained insights from it, and quite a few disciples broke through their cultivation levels, making others green with envy.
Although breaking through a cultivation level was simply due to sufficient magic power and not directly related to that rainfall, many disciples still yearned for a similar opportunity to break through!
Seeing that this situation mirrored the last one and that rain was about to fall again, many disciples shouted excitedly, standing outside to greet the rain. Some disciples didn’t forget to notify others in the sect.
When the rain began to fall, a disciple at the Seventh level of Qi Refinement stretched out his arms, seemingly wanting to comprehend something in the rain!
However, as countless needle-like raindrops fell onto his head, the disciple shuddered, his scalp tingling, and he shouted in terror:
“Brothers, run! This rain is deadly!”
“Are you joking?”
A disciple saw this and scoffed, then stepped out from under the roof.
However, just after taking a couple of steps, he felt the rain splatter against his pants, piercing through the fabric!
This caused him to panic, and he quickly ducked back, looking suspiciously at the sky.
At the same time, many disciples who wanted to stroll in the rain also suffered from this unexpected attack, throwing the entire He Dao Sect into chaos.
Fortunately, they were all cultivators, and they quickly reacted, using spells to protect themselves.
But those at the Sensing stage or low-level Qi Refinement cultivators found their spells still forming. Faced with countless needle-like raindrops, they could only find shelter from the rain!
This left everyone feeling inexplicably humiliated; they never expected that as cultivators, they would still have to avoid the rain!
It was truly a disgrace!
The situation quickly reached the ears of the sect leader.
In the grand hall of the He Dao Sect, upon hearing the reports from outside disciples, Li Daoyi looked puzzled and asked again,
“What did you say was falling?”
“Knives!”
Seeing the serious expression of the reporting disciple, Li Daoyi instantly vanished from his spot and appeared in the air above the hall.
Dispersing his protection, Headmaster Li extended his hand, and raindrops splashed against it, showing no difference from regular rain.
But Li Daoyi had sensed that this downpour was unusual.
After carefully sensing, he murmured,
“Is this the Golden Insect Technique?”
“To kill insects?”
Headmaster Li frowned slightly, feeling doubtful. This didn’t look like the work of the Supreme Elder; could it be that some elder and Peak Master were experimenting with spells?
But if elders or Peak Masters acted, the Xuan Tian Mirror would have responded.
No, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!
“Ahem, Headmaster, what should we do about this rain?”
An elder flew forward and asked.
They had noticed something was off with the rain as it fell, but following the sect leader’s previous orders, they refrained from hastily dispersing it. However, now the rain had already affected the sect’s disciples.
“Disperse the clouds and find out which disciple is responsible!”
Hearing Li Daoyi’s stern words, the nearby elders ceased their chatter and each took action.
Once the clouds were dispersed, the law enforcement hall also sprang into action!
The key inspection area was, surprisingly, Feng Ling Valley, where Ji Yang was located!
Watching the rain stop, Ji Yang let out a sigh of relief, feeling that it was nothing serious.
The three-striped wheat borer larvae in the spiritual field had all been removed, and now he just needed to refine his spell a little more.
By then, he could use the Small Rain Technique while also eliminating pests—what a two-for-one deal!
He decided to name this new spell the Golden Rain Technique!
After resolving the pest issue, Ji Yang returned to his wooden house to restore his internal magic, unaware that the law enforcement hall was already on its way based on their findings.
As the rain ceased, the outside disciples also relaxed and rushed to the spiritual field to check on the situation, worried that the recent rain would yield no harvest.
But soon, some disciples discovered that their He Hua rice not only suffered no damage, but the pest issue in the spiritual field had also decreased significantly. They expressed their gratitude, completely unaware of which brother had intervened.
On the eleventh day, Ji Yang’s He Hua rice continued to grow!
The originally green wheat ears faded, transforming into a golden yellow while beginning to bear grains.
By the twelfth day, the He Hua rice was nearing maturity!
The disciples who had previously doubted marveled at this sight, but until the final results were out, everyone held back their thoughts.
Clearly, Ji Yang’s He Hua rice was unlike anyone else’s. Whether the spiritual grains it produced would be effective or edible remained uncertain, and all of this needed verification by the deacon at the end of the month!
At this moment, Ji Yang was already considering when to start his breakthrough.
Although the He Hua rice was nearing maturity, the daily harvest wasn’t substantial, and his cultivation points accumulated only around four to five points each day, which wasn’t very fast.
However, over time, it still added up to a considerable amount. Currently, he had a total of sixty-three cultivation points, which was more than enough to break through a level.
Due to the previous incident with the spell, he had seen people from the law enforcement hall coming to inquire about the matter in Feng Ling Valley.
Ji Yang had long anticipated that the Golden Rain Technique would cause negative effects within the sect.
This made Ji Yang more cautious when using the Golden Rain Technique, usually employing it secretly at night.
As he controlled the range and since the rainwater appeared the same as ordinary rain, no disciple detected the difference in his spell.
