Uncle Nine: Scattering beans to create soldiers? I'm using plants and trees to create soldiers.

"Hoaaaaahh ...

The female corpse let out a bloodcurdling scream as she looked up to the sky!

The sound waves spread visibly through the air, and wherever they passed, the candlelight on the altar flickered violently!

"ah!!"

Zhang Nan and the others covered their ears and squatted down in pain.

The sound was like a giant hammer, slamming heavily into my mind, making my internal organs churn.

Blood immediately seeped from the mouths and noses of several servants.

Sensing the female corpse's improved cultivation level, Lin Xuan's eyes sharpened, and his left hand changed hand seals!

The four armored soldiers simultaneously received the imperial decree and immediately adjusted their formation!

then,

Four grass-armored soldiers rushed forward together, using their bodies as a lock to tightly bind the woman's limbs!

Pale yellow light burst forth from the soldiers' bodies, like four flowing rivers of light, frantically suppressing the corpse demons!

But just as the yellow light was about to envelop the female corpse...

The woman's abdomen suddenly swelled violently, and a surge of black energy emanated from it, directly scattering all four beams of yellow light!

As the black mist spread, even the grass blades were covered in a layer of black ash!

Upon seeing this, Lin Xuan's pupils constricted sharply!

Something's wrong with what's inside the woman's abdomen!

Lin Xuan looked at the woman's abdomen, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.

These self-made soldiers, crafted with corpse-suppressing talismans as their core and glutinous rice stalks as their framework, are specifically designed to counter evil spirits and corpse demons!

The aura of the Dharma lineage's soldiers is to suppress evil with righteousness, which is one of the fundamental principles of the Daoist arts!

With the added blessing of his own altar and Taoist energy, he could easily subdue even a zombie in its early stages as a Taoist!

But at this moment!

The grass-armored soldiers' grass-leaf armor was not only cracked by the shock, but even the yellow light containing the aura of the magic lineage was dispersed!

This is definitely not a simple case of a "mother-child affliction"!

There was no time to think.

Lin Xuan waved his right hand, and the peach wood sword appeared in his hand.

As powerful Daoist energy flowed into the sword, Lin Xuan's unique talent of [Affinity with Plants] began to take effect.

The surface of the sword quickly developed a fine and lively wood grain luster, with a faint sense of life flowing through it, as if this inanimate peach wood sword had come to life in his hands!

Lin Xuan stepped forward with incredible speed, his body moving like the wind, heading straight for the female corpse!

Sensing the threat, the female corpse hissed and tried to swing her claws.

However, its limbs were still locked by four armored soldiers, making it completely unable to move.

laugh--!

White smoke burst forth!

The natural masculine energy of the peach wood clashed violently with the corpse energy surrounding the female corpse!

A charred burn mark instantly appeared on the surface of the woman's chest!

"Ho—!"

The female corpse, in pain, became ferocious and suddenly leaned backward, causing the grass armor soldiers on her body to scatter grass blades.

But Lin Xuan would not give it even the slightest chance to catch its breath.

He flipped his left hand over, and a handful of glistening white glutinous rice appeared in his palm.

The incantation was rapidly uttered from his mouth!

"Shangqing Fire Bell, suppress the corpse and subdue its form!"

"When Yang Qi enters the body, the Corpse Demon ceases its movement!"

As the Daoist Qi was infused into it, the glutinous rice turned crimson!

Lin Xuan formed hand seals, his ten fingers flying and turning into a blur of afterimages.

"Sealing the Corpse Through the Seven Apertures—Disperse!"

A handful of glutinous rice is swung out in a flourish!

Under the precise control of the Dao Qi, the glutinous rice split into seven thin streams, like seven white spirit snakes, which shot towards the female corpse's eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth respectively!

puff!puff!puff!

A series of dull thuds of flesh being pierced rang out!

The female corpse's seven orifices were all sealed!

The body that had been struggling violently suddenly froze in place!

The fierce aura that had just surged to the early stage of Taoist cultivation suddenly became choked and impaired, as if someone had grabbed his throat.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Xuan leaned forward and, with his fingers like a brush, sketched in the air between the female corpse's eyebrows.

A pale red rune rapidly formed in mid-air—the rune head suppresses the corpse, the rune core locks the orifices, and the rune feet suppress evil spirits!

"Certainly!"

A majestic imperial edict rang out!

The rune was instantly imprinted on the woman's brow!

A bright red light shone forth, and the glutinous rice in the seven orifices simultaneously emitted its own light!

The female corpse trembled violently for several breaths, and the evil energy in her abdomen surged wildly, trying to break through the blockade again.

However, under the dual suppression of the Seven Apertures Sealing Corpse Technique and the Corpse-Suppressing Talisman, that aura ultimately failed to go berserk again.

The struggle gradually subsided.

finally--

The female corpse fell straight backward.

boom!

The heavy female corpse crashed onto the blue brick floor, raising a cloud of dust, and then remained motionless.

At the same time, a crisp system notification sounded in Lin Xuan's mind:

[Grassroots Soldier completes first real battle, Grassroots Soldier proficiency +20]

The courtyard returned to silence.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Nan and the others, who were hiding in the corner, timidly poked their heads out.

Seeing the woman's corpse lying on the ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Master Lin... your skills are truly divine!"

Zhang Nan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his gaze towards Lin Xuan filled with awe.

Tonight he truly had his eyes opened, witnessing what a real battle of wits is all about!

As expected of Master Yimei's disciple, Ren Fa really didn't lie to me!

The candles on the altar then resumed a steady burning.

The wisps of smoke from the incense rose gently, and the gentle scent of sandalwood once again filled the air, dispelling the stench in the courtyard.

Lin Xuan, carrying a peach wood sword, slowly walked to the woman's body and looked down at her swollen belly.

On its abdomen, dozens of fine black lines, as thin as silkworm silk, were densely sewn.

The patterns were twisted and unpredictable, intertwining to form unrecognizable, sinister runes.

Lin Xuan stared at the runes, his gaze darkening completely.

This aura is exactly the same as the black energy that just erupted, clearly indicating some kind of evil magic.

Without hesitation, Lin Xuan raised the peach wood sword and gently slashed his belly with the tip of the sword.

Whoosh—!

The foul-smelling black water gushed out from the cut, emitting a pungent stench.

Zhang Nan and the others were so overwhelmed by the stench that they retreated repeatedly, covering their mouths and dry heaving.

Lin Xuan remained calm, held his breath, and used the tip of his sword to push aside the surging blood.

Deep within the cut, a stone sculpture the size of a palm lay quietly.

The stone sculpture was stained dark black with blood and exuded a nauseating stench.

But beneath that filth, a faint, almost imperceptible, divine aura was flowing.

No wonder the suppressive power of the grass-root soldiers had no effect; it turns out that a true god was sealed within their bodies!

A gentle light shone from Lin Xuan's palm, flowing like water onto the surface of the statue.

As the bloodstains faded, a complex array pattern was revealed.

It was an array drawn with dried blood essence, the lines like countless bloodsucking worms, biting tightly at the statue, slowly eroding its inner spirit.

"Refining the spirit with a corpse..."

Lin Xuan's voice gradually turned cold, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The violent death of the pregnant woman fueled extreme resentment.

Then, using the fetus's essence and blood as a guide, they stuffed the statue into their belly and performed rituals day and night!

Until Shen Yun was completely devoured, transformed into a sinister and evil weapon at the mercy of others.

Anyone capable of using such methods must be a ruthless and evil cultivator!

It's just unclear why the other party insisted on hiding the female corpse beneath the current.

Hiding in this unclaimed land, aren't you afraid of being exposed?

Or is there another reason...?

Just as Lin Xuan was pondering, he suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation deep within the female corpse's ribs.

"Um?!"

Lin Xuan swung his peach wood sword, the tip of which sliced ​​through the skin on the female corpse's chest.

As the flesh ruptured, five drops of translucent white water appeared.

They floated silently between the bones and flesh, exuding a pure and cool aura of yin water.

The system panel then pops up—

[Ding! Unclaimed Spiritual Item Found: Yin Water Essence (White Quality) x5]

This substance is formed from the convergence and condensation of Yin energy, containing pure Yin-elemental water spirit energy, making it extremely suitable for watering Yin-elemental spiritual plants.

......

"Yin Water Essence?!"

"It seems these substances were extracted from the idol. Five drops... that's quite a lot!"

A glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. He reached out and waved his hand, putting the item into his system inventory.

I had just picked the Yinshui grass yesterday and was worried about not having enough "fertilizer" to speed up its growth. I never expected to get such a good thing today, besides the female corpse!
