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

"Wang Li, are you crazy?!"

"That Lin Xuan is the disciple of the One-Eyebrow Taoist!"

"You dare touch him? Do you think you've lived too long?"

Xu Yuhua frowned, staring intently at the crowd in the distance, and rebuked them in a low voice.

Although the White Lotus Sect is an evil cult, it has always acted without any scruples!

But the name of Daoist Lin Jiu with one eyebrow is well-known throughout the entire southern fantasy world!

To attack his disciple in broad daylight is no different from slitting one's own throat and courting death.

"Don't get excited, I was just saying—" Upon hearing this, Wang Li revealed a faint smile on his face, "Of course I know that kid is untouchable, but isn't that Taoist priest from the Lushan Sect next to him also a threat? We'll use him as our target later, extract his soul to nourish the precious scroll."

Xu Yuhua glanced at Wang Li and said, "Let's see what these two are capable of first. Otherwise, we might lose our lives instead of our souls."

"Alright, I'll do as you say."

Wang Li nodded and put away the bamboo slips in his hand.

After a short while, the altars of Lin Xuan and Chen Bingwen were set up on the two Dharma boats on the riverbank.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Then, with the boatman's propelling, the small boat slowly glided towards the center of the river, where the air was thick with gloom.

As soon as he reached the center of the river, Lin Xuan closed his eyes slightly, and the pure Dao Qi within his body surged and flowed like a great river.

When the Dao Qi passes through the kidneys, the hidden kidney spirit Chun Yuan Zhen and Xiang Di Wu resonate together.

In an instant, a layer of tangible, azure water light emanated from Lin Xuan's Dao Qi.

At the same time, his ability to perceive the surrounding moisture continued to increase.

The flow of water in the surrounding area became increasingly clear.

"Here..."

Lin Xuan's mind stirred.

He keenly sensed that at the bottom of the deep river directly below, a foul-smelling aura, already at the pinnacle of a sorcerer's skill, lurked.

Not far away, there was a mixed, cold atmosphere.

Clearly, those were the water ghosts that haunted the place last night, along with the funerary objects that filled the boat.

Having located the water ghost, Lin Xuan prepared to take action.

However, just as Lin Xuan was about to withdraw his senses, his brows involuntarily furrowed slightly.

Using the water-based senses provided by his two kidneys, he sensed that at the bottom of the deeper waters, there lurked an even more profound and malevolent aura.

That aura was concealed by layers of water veins, and it would have been difficult to detect if he hadn't just raised his two physical bodies to perfection.

"Could it be that besides this troublesome water ghost, there are other extremely ominous creatures lurking at the bottom of the Beiqing River?"

Lin Xuan pondered to himself, but he already had a plan in mind.

Now that we're here, whether it's a water ghost or some other evil spirit, once we've dealt with this one, we'll take care of the rest as well!

With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

He gestured to Chen Bingwen on the other ship and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Chen, open the altar!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xuan flicked his finger, and a wisp of Dao Qi shot out.

With a soft "poof" sound!

The two candles on the altar spontaneously combusted without any wind!

Then, he took three specially made incense sticks and lit them with a candle flame.

The wisps of smoke were not dispersed by the river breeze; instead, they rose straight into the sky.

"Ring—ring—"

Lin Xuan grabbed the Three Pure Ones Dharma Bell from the table and shook his wrist.

The crisp sound of bells, accompanied by surging Daoist energy, transformed into visible circles of earthy-yellow light that rapidly spread along the hull of the boat towards the shimmering water.

On the other ship, Chen Bingwen saw that Lin Xuan had already cast a spell, so he dared not be negligent.

He took a deep breath, untied the ancient Lushan horn from his waist, puffed out his cheeks, and blew it with all his might!

"Waaah—"

The deep, resonant sound of horns echoed across the river, resonating with the distant sound of Lin Xuan's Three Pure Bells.

Lin Xuan continued moving, holding the bell in his left hand and grabbing the talisman brush from the table with his right.

Dipping his wrist in cinnabar and chicken blood, he moved it swiftly across the yellow talisman paper.

In just a few breaths, a "Water Palace Pass" containing the power of the water veins was completed in one go.

"go!"

Lin Xuan pinched the yellow talisman between his two fingers and suddenly activated the Dao Qi within his body.

The talisman instantly burst into flames of a dark blue color and was then precisely tossed into the brazier in front of him.

The yellow talisman was put into the fire and burned up rapidly.

The three incense sticks inserted in the incense burner suddenly burst into flames as if they had been doused with hot oil, their tips glowing with a blinding red light.

Then, something unexpected happened!

An invisible wave suddenly rippled out from the center of the river, as if an invisible giant hand was stirring up the entire Beiqing River.

Two beams of blue light shot up from the bottom of the water and accurately entered the two water palace straw figures enshrined on the altar.

next moment!

With a loud "splash," a surge of water rushed out of the river!

Two streams of water poured down on the two palm-sized straw figures in the water palace!

After absorbing the water, the leaves of the Yinshui grass on the scarecrow began to expand wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The clear water flowed like flesh and blood, filling the straw man's body and causing it to quickly swell to more than a person's height.

Meanwhile, the glutinous rice that was originally stuffed inside the straw man shimmered with red light and flowed rapidly within the straw man's translucent, watery body.

The red light reflected on the water resembled a vast galaxy flowing in the night sky!

This adds a touch of mystery to the scarecrow!

In just a few breaths, the entire straw figure was solidified by the surging water.

The dark blue-green leaves of the Yinshui grass now clung to them like indestructible scales of armor.

The water flowed from the straw man's arms, condensed, and finally transformed into a gleaming water spear and an incomparably sharp water fork!

boom!

Two imposing water-armored straw figures stomped heavily on the deck, releasing a powerful aura comparable to that of a mid-stage Taoist priest in all directions!

Seeing this, Chen Bingwen, who was standing on another auxiliary boat and preparing to show off his skills, even forgot to blow the horn.

His eyes were wide open like copper bells, his mouth was agape, and his face was contorted with the expression of someone who had seen a ghost.

"This...this is...this is the Water Palace's army?! Water, water-armored soldiers?!"

"Whose water armor soldiers look like this?!"

Chen Bingwen felt as if a powder keg had exploded, and he felt that his worldview had been impacted like never before.

Looking at the straw man on the deck, who seemed to have descended from the heavens, Chen Bingwen's throat bobbed involuntarily.

Their Lushan Sect is most proficient in water magic, and the water army they can summon is far superior to others!

However, the strength of Lin Xuan's water armor soldiers far exceeds that of ordinary water palace soldiers!

It even reached the level of a heavily armed force in the Water Palace!

How did Lin Xuan manage to do that?!

Is it because of the divine transmission from the Well God?!
