Ji An rode the clouds to the mid-mountain grotto mansion, where two Spirit Pines, glowing with a misty light like clouds, gently swayed as if sensing his aura.
He smiled and placed his hand on the pine tree, nourishing the Spirit Wood with magical power. The pine needles' spirit light surged, resembling flickering red flames.
"Haha, old buddies, you're still not upgraded to Tier Two Upper Grade, huh? You need to put in more effort."
Ji An performed a spell to open the Dharma Prohibition of the grotto mansion, where a faint dusty scent lingered.
After being away for over a decade, this was quite normal.
He considered breeding some Spirit Lizards, these practical Low-Tier Demon Beasts, similar to geckos, which could at most reach Mid-stage Qi Refining. They consumed dust and captured flying insects, keeping the grotto mansion clean.
