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

Lin Xuan's expression froze instantly as he looked at the seeds and spiritual materials in his Qiankun bag.

The next moment, a burst of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Thank you, Master!"

"I love these things so much, they're incredibly useful to me!"

Lin Xuan suddenly looked up at Uncle Jiu, his voice rising several decibels.

As he spoke, Lin Xuan took a half step back and bowed deeply to Uncle Jiu.

This bow was performed with utmost solemnity!

"As long as it's useful to you." Seeing Lin Xuan's reaction, Uncle Nine breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face. "It wasn't in vain that I spent the last half month putting in so much effort to search for it."

"It's useful, very useful!!"

Lin Xuan nodded repeatedly, his heart pounding like a drum.

To outsiders, these things may just be rare spiritual seeds and materials.

But for Lin Xuan, who possesses the Myriad Spirits Seed Dao System, these things are visible growth paths!

Each seed may represent a Taoist practice!

Every spiritual plant could become his trump card in the future!

Seeing Lin Xuan's barely suppressed joy, Uncle Nine's smile deepened.

"Alright."

"Let's go sit over there and watch."

"I've been traveling all this way, so this is a good opportunity to rest."

Lin Xuan quickly nodded, "Please, Master."

He went first to the wooden table in the courtyard, pulled out a chair, and respectfully invited Uncle Jiu to sit down.

After Uncle Jiu sat down, Lin Xuan quickly brewed a pot of hot tea before sitting down next to him.

Uncle Nine watched him bustling around, a smile appearing on his lips.

This kid is as thoughtful as ever.

After Lin Xuan sat down again, he carefully took out the first lotus seed from his Qiankun bag.

The seed is about the size of a thumb, with a light blue outer shell and rings of light blue veins on its surface.

When held in the hand, a refreshing sensation seeps into the body through the palm.

Upon closer inspection, one can also perceive a calming energy within it.

Lin Xuan's gaze fell on the seeds.

The next moment, a semi-transparent panel appeared.

【Moon Sleeping Lotus】

[Quality: Blue]

【Characteristics: Calming the mind and spirit, gathering spiritual energy at night, nourishing the spirit with clear dew】

[Calming the Mind and Soothing the Spirit: The light fragrance of lotus can calm distracting thoughts, stabilize the mind, and prevent surrounding spiritual plants and objects from becoming agitated.]

[Night-Gathering Spirit: The flower blooms during the day and closes at night, slowly gathering water spirit energy and moonlight to nourish itself and the surrounding aquatic plants.]

[Nourishing Dew: The dew that condenses on lotus leaves has a calming and nourishing effect on the spirit. It can be used in alchemy and talismanic water, and can also be used to nourish spirits and other spiritual beings, helping them stabilize their spirituality.]

Growth rate: 1%

[Dao Guo: Yin Xi's Sleeping Technique]

......

Lin Xuan's gaze instantly settled on the last line.

"Yin Xi's Sleeping Skills"!!!

The name is quite simple; it's a sleeping technique named after someone.

But Lin Xuan knew perfectly well just how heavy those words were!

Yin Xi —

Back then, the gatekeeper of Hangu Pass looked up at the purple aura coming from the east and welcomed Laozi westward out of Hangu Pass, where he received the five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching.

This name is mentioned in countless Taoist texts.

And the term "sleeping skill" is even more remarkable.

There are countless methods of cultivation in the world. Whether it's Longhu, Maoshan, or Gezao, which one doesn't rely on arduous meditation and life-or-death battles to improve one's cultivation?

However, the sleeping technique of the Hidden Immortal lineage is different.

This lineage emphasizes tranquility and non-action, concealing one's talents and cultivating one's true nature.

The patriarch Chen Tuan slept for eight hundred years, the Fire Dragon Immortal attained enlightenment in his dream, and Zhang Sanfeng mastered martial arts through sleep!

These legends are all related to the term "sleeping technique"!

In other words, if Lin Xuan could comprehend the "Yin Xi Sleeping Technique," his future cultivation would have an extremely stable path to advancement.

During the day, they farm, draw talismans, and practice magic.

You can still cultivate yourself while sleeping at night!

This means that even a third of one's life is being used!

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan's breathing became slightly rapid.

After a moment, he forced himself to suppress his excitement and carefully placed the water lily seed aside.

"Blue quality".

"Moreover, it's a sleeping cultivation method that aids in spiritual practice."

"The things Master brought back this time are indeed extraordinary!"

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and took out a second seed from his Qiankun bag.

This is a date pit.

The surface of the date pit is dark brown, as if it had been scorched by lightning.

Strangely enough, beneath that charred outer shell, a tenacious life force was still hidden.

Even in the tiny cracks on the surface of the date pit, a faint wisp of lightning can be seen moving about.

As soon as Lin Xuan held it in his hand, a tingling sensation came from his fingertips.

When Uncle Nine saw Lin Xuan pick up the jujube pit, he took the initiative to say, "This is a jujube pit left behind by lightning striking a jujube tree."

"That jujube tree was struck by lightning three times, but it never died."

"Of the jujubes that grew later, only this one pit still retained its vitality and contained a trace of lightning power."

"This item is very rare. I had to use some connections to get it from one of your uncles."

Lin Xuan was slightly startled upon hearing this.

He survived being struck by lightning three times.

This is already quite remarkable.

An ordinary tree will wither and die if struck by lightning.

The fact that the jujube tree could withstand three lightning strikes and still continue to grow and bear fruit shows that it possesses extremely strong vitality and the ability to withstand lightning strikes.

If a tree survives nine lightning strikes, it is a truly top-tier lightning-struck wood embryo.

The wood used to forge magical artifacts is specifically designed to ward off evil spirits and ghosts, and its power is absolutely astonishing.

Of course, a spirit tree that can withstand nine thunderbolts and never die is one in ten thousand.

It is even more rare and precious to be able to leave behind seeds that bring life.

The Three Thunder Jujube Pit before him was already an excellent spiritual seed for Lin Xuan at his current level.

Lin Xuan spoke again solemnly, "Thank you, Master."

"This disciple will definitely cultivate diligently from now on and will never let Master down."

Uncle Nine picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and smiled faintly. "It's good that you have the intention."

Lin Xuan nodded, his gaze returning to the date pit.

Soon, the panel appeared.

[A jujube pit struck by lightning]

[Quality: Green]

【Traits: Lightning Attraction, Lightning Tempering】

[Attracting Lightning: It can draw upon the thunderous energy of heaven and earth, allowing the plant to absorb the residual power of thunder during stormy nights and grow stronger.]

[Thunder Tempering: The plant can repeatedly temper itself with the help of thunder energy, making its wood increasingly tough and its vitality increasingly refined. After maturity, its branches, leaves, fruits, and wood can all contain thunder essence, which can be used to refine thunder wood magical artifacts and thunder talisman carriers, and can also assist in the cultivation of thunder magic.]

[Dao Guo: "Huang Ting Jing - Enlightenment of the Liver Spirit"]

......

Upon seeing this Dao Fruit, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up once more.

Like the jujube pit struck by lightning and the lotus that sleeps in the moon, both only nurtured one Dao fruit.

Although fewer fruits of enlightenment mean less to comprehend, the things he can understand will also decrease accordingly.

However, in return, the quality of the Dao Fruit will improve!

Moreover, judging from the quality of this jujube pit, if it can be fully cultivated and matured, this Dao Fruit could probably directly elevate his Liver Spirit comprehension to the Perfect level!

At that time, the kidney spirit will be fully formed, and the liver spirit will be reborn.

His progress in the Huangting Jing will then be able to take another big step forward.

Lin Xuan carefully placed the lightning-struck jujube pit next to the water lily seeds.

Then, he took out the last green spirit seed from his Qiankun bag.

This time, what was taken out was not a single seed, but a small cluster of bamboo rice (bamboo seeds)!

The bamboo rice grew on a single leaf, with seven or eight grains in total.

Each one is plump and has a bluish-gold surface, resembling tiny jade beads.

Each bamboo seed has a fine golden pattern coiled around its outer shell.

Lin Xuan placed it in his palm and could clearly feel the resilient energy emanating from it.

That energy was neither as serene as a water lily, nor as fierce as lightning striking a jujube pit.

It's more stable!

Even harder!

Like an old bamboo in the mountains, it remains straight and unyielding despite the wind and frost.

Lin Xuan's gaze swept over it, and the panel appeared.

【Species of Bamboo】

[Quality: Green]

【Special Qualities: Vajra Bamboo Bones, Demon-Subduing Rigidity】

[Diamond Bamboo Bone: The bamboo stalk is as tough as iron, and the nodes are as strong as bone, making it difficult to break even when struck by external forces. Once mature, the nodes can be used to forge swords, staffs, and other weapons. The resulting artifacts possess inherent sturdiness, making them ideal for use as the framework of plant-based magical implements and Taoist weapons.]

[The righteous energy of bamboo: Bamboo contains a righteous energy that subdues demons, naturally suppressing evil spirits and ghosts. Bamboo swords, talismans, and weapons made from bamboo are effective in suppressing evil spirits, corpse energy, and ghost energy, and their power is amplified when activated with Daoist energy.]

Growth rate: 1%

[Dao Guo: "The Vajra Subduing Demon Sword" and "The Yellow Court Classic: Insights into the Lung Spirit"]

......

Lin Xuan stared at the panel, his heart pounding.

Seven or eight grains of bamboo rice.

Each seed has the potential to grow into a unique species of golden bamboo.

Each mature Vajra Bamboo plant can provide him with insights into the Dao.

The Vajra Subduing Demon Sword.

The Yellow Court Classic: Insights into the Lung Spirit.

An enhancement to offensive tactics.

One completes the inner vision of body and spirit.

More importantly, Vajra Bamboo can also be used as a material for refining weapons.

Bamboo joints can be used to forge swords.

Bamboo leaves can be used to make talismans.

Bamboo can be used to make weapons.

If combined with straw men, corpse vines, spirit-gathering techniques, and soldier-raising methods in the future, it may even be possible to cultivate a group of real grass and wood soldiers who can protect fields and houses.

Lin Xuan looked at the string of blue-gold bamboo rice in his palm, a hint of unreality in his eyes.

Water lilies represent the practice of sleeping meditation.

A jujube pit struck by lightning represents enlightenment through lightning magic and the liver spirit.

Vajra Bamboo represents the Demon-Subduing Sword Technique and the enlightenment of the lung spirit.

If he can cultivate all of these spiritual seeds, his combat power will definitely experience a qualitative leap.

Even the cultivation path for the foreseeable future has become incredibly clear.

Lin Xuan's palm clenched slightly, then quickly relaxed.

They were afraid that if they used too much force, they would hurt these spiritual seeds.

The things Master brought back this time.

Just in time!

Not to mention, besides these, there are also some white-grade materials!
