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

Lin Xuan took the golden talisman and came to the front of the water vat.

Inside the water tank, dark vines quietly coiled.

After being cleansed by the Yellow Court Classic last night, the Yin energy on the surface of the Corpse Soul Vine has faded somewhat, but black energy still lingers deep within the vine.

If you want to completely remove it, you need to continuously cleanse yourself with scriptures.

Seeing that Lin Xuan was about to begin, Uncle Jiu also stood on the other side of the water vat, his gaze fixed on the vat.

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai couldn't help but gather around at this moment.

After yesterday's enlightenment, the two were no longer as surprised as before, but they were still incredibly curious.

Wen Cai peered into the water vat and whispered, "Hey, Qiu Sheng, what do you think this evil vine will become after Senior Brother's guidance?!"

Qiu Sheng crossed his arms, stroked his chin, smacked his lips, and shook his head. "How would I know? Anyway, when Senior Brother makes a move, it's definitely more powerful than before!"

"Isn't that a given?" Wen Cai rolled his eyes at him, gesturing with his hands as he said, "I'm asking, what shape will this vine grow into? Will it grow flowers?"

"Grow flowers? Why don't you guess it could grow into a big watermelon to quench your thirst? Besides being a vine, what else can it become?"

Qiu Sheng rolled his eyes at Wen Cai and said speechlessly.

"Why are you always arguing..."

Before Wencai could say anything more, Qiusheng waved his hand to interrupt, "Alright, alright, Senior Brother is about to begin, let's be quiet."

Wen Cai's lips twitched. He glanced at Uncle Jiu standing beside him, but intimidated by his master's usual sternness, he obediently shut his mouth.

Just then, a slight sound came from the edge of the pottery jar.

Little Jin poked his head out of the jar.

It had licked the medicine in the jar clean, and after being cleansed by the scriptures last night, the energy in the medicine was rapidly being transformed into its own power.

Its originally slightly rough skin has shed a layer of fine, dry skin, becoming increasingly glossy and smooth, with a subtle, warm, jade-like luster.

Not only that, the cold aura emanating from him had faded considerably, replaced by a refined spirituality.

Xiao Jin glanced at Lin Xuan, then at the Corpse Soul Vine in the water tank.

Those were the vines it was familiar with.

But now, these vines seem to be changing again by their "owner".

Yesterday, when the spiritual plant was being consecrated, it was afraid of Uncle Jiu and stayed inside the pottery jar the whole time, not even daring to show its head.

But after spending the night together, it discovered that although Uncle Nine had a dignified face and a terrifying aura, he had no intention of harming it.

As a result, Xiao Jin became much bolder.

With a push of its hind legs, it transformed into a small black shadow and landed steadily on Lin Xuan's shoulder.

Lin Xuan turned his head and glanced at it.

Little Jin blinked her big, bright eyes, looking very well-behaved.

Lin Xuan raised his hand and patted Xiao Jin's head, without shooing it away.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan focused his mind on the system panel.

Corpse Soul Vine

[Quality: White]

Maturity: 94%

[Traits: Soul Devouring and Corpse Control, Corpse Aperture Resonance]

[Dao Guo: "The Art of Corpse Control", "The Yellow Court Classic: Insights into the Spirit of the Tongue"]

……

Lin Xuan's gaze swept across the panel and then landed on the Enlightenment button.

As the thought descended.

[Upgradeable material detected: Golden Light Talisman.]

[Is it used to transform the Corpse Soul Vine?]

Yes.

[The initiation begins.]

The moment the prompt appeared, Lin Xuan felt the Dao Qi within his body begin to circulate on its own.

A surge of pure Daoist energy flowed through his meridians into his palm and then into the golden talisman in his hand.

Om-!

The talisman trembled slightly.

The cinnabar runes on it seemed to be ignited, with each character lighting up one after another.

Golden light spread along the runes, illuminating the rim of the water tank with a bright sheen.

The next moment, the golden light talisman burst open.

Countless fine golden threads burst forth from the talisman, drilling straight into the water vat and wrapping around the Corpse Soul Vine that possessed dual special qualities and dual Dao Fruits.

hiss hiss hiss—

The black mist instantly evaporated.

The Corpse Soul Vine writhed violently as if it had been branded with a hot iron.

The clear water in the vat was stirred up with a splashing sound, and wisps of black smoke rose from the vine, only to be pierced by the golden thread and dissipate into gray smoke.

Soon, the first golden thread left its mark on the surface of the vine.

Then came the second, the third...

Fine golden veins spread along the vine.

The originally cold and sinister Corpse Soul Vine, under the cleansing of golden light, actually exuded a faint aura of righteousness.

hiss……!

Standing not far away, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai involuntarily opened their mouths into a large "O" shape.

The two men's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

Yesterday, when my senior brother was strengthening the plants, the scene was already amazing enough.

It can not only turn huge rocks and iron chains into dry powder in no time, but it can even make plants glow.

And this scene is even more magnificent than yesterday!

The sinister black vines with golden patterns spread out, and a majestic aura permeated the surroundings. The scene was like an evil object being forcibly transformed into a magical artifact!

"My goodness..." Wen Cai's lips trembled, and he couldn't help but want to exclaim.

Qiu Sheng reacted quickly and covered his mouth tightly.

Wen Cai's eyes widened, and he could only make muffled "woo-woo" sounds in his throat.

"Shut up! Don't make a fuss. If you disturb Senior Brother's spellcasting, we'll both be in big trouble!"

Qiu Sheng lowered his voice and warned fiercely, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his extreme inner turmoil.

Little Jin, perched on Lin Xuan's shoulder, reflected the golden light in the water tank in its eyes, and a look of extremely human-like surprise appeared on its face.

It could sense that the familiar Corpse Soul Vine was changing.

The originally cold, corpse-like aura of the vines was being penetrated by a warm yet sharp force.

"Gugua?"

Little Jin's belly rumbled softly, and its eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Beside him, Uncle Nine's pupils were also trembling slightly.

Although he did not lose his composure like Qiu Shengwencai, his heart was still filled with turmoil.

It is not uncommon for Maoshan masters to be able to use the Golden Light Talisman to cleanse away evil spirits and yin energy; he himself can do it too.

But that requires extremely profound cultivation!

However, his disciple was only at the level of a Taoist priest, and the talisman he used was drawn by him. Yet, he could still blend golden light into the vines, making the vines more and more vigorous without harming the vines themselves!

This is unbelievable!

Could this be the amazing thing about his disciple's physique?

Thinking of this, Uncle Nine's breathing quickened involuntarily.

Just then, the system notification reappeared before Lin Xuan's eyes.

The Corpse Soul Vine's enhancement level has not yet reached its maximum.

[Should we add more Taoist elements?]

Lin Xuan's eyes flickered, a hint of surprise flashing across them.

The power of a single golden talisman failed to bring the Corpse Soul Vine to its limit. It truly lives up to its reputation as a rare plant with dual traits and dual Dao fruits among white-grade plants!

However, since we're going to strengthen it anyway, let's just go all the way!

Lin Xuan clicked the OK button.

The next moment, he took a deep breath, and the Dao Qi within his body began to circulate again.

A large amount of Dao Qi transformed into a torrent, flowing into the other two golden talismans through the palm.

hum!hum!

Both talismans simultaneously emitted an even more dazzling light than before!

Golden light crisscrossed in mid-air, and the runes trembled violently under the strain.

boom--!

The two golden talismans simultaneously shattered into a shower of golden sand.

Thousands of golden threads, like a dense and sharp rain of golden silk, shot towards the water vat, all of them disappearing into the body of the Corpse Soul Vine.

The Corpse Soul Vine twisted even more violently, as if it were experiencing the excruciating pain of having its bones removed and reshaped!

The water surface churned and boiled as if boiling, and clumps of black mist surged out one after another, only to be mercilessly shredded by the golden threads before they could rise.

As time went on, the gold veins on the surface of the vines became increasingly dense.

The originally jet-black vine gradually melted away, merging with the golden runes, and finally turned into a dark gold color.

A metallic sheen appeared, and the vines became even more resilient!

Uncle Nine's pupils contracted slightly upon seeing the scene before him, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This change...

It seemed even more astonishing than he had anticipated!

His own disciple had actually managed to integrate the power of three talismans into a single vine!

The original sinister power of the Corpse Soul Vine has been almost completely eliminated!

With the enhancement of the Golden Light Talisman, the potential of the Corpse Soul Vine has been greatly improved!

Uncle Nine looked at the vine body that shimmered with a dark golden luster and felt a slight tremor in his heart.

If this vine were used as a whip, one lash would absolutely tear the skin and flesh of an ordinary person.

If used as a rope, even a heretical cultivator of ordinary Taoist level would find it difficult to break free once entangled by it!

Uncle Nine looked up at Lin Xuan across from him.

He originally thought that what he saw yesterday was close to the limit of Lin Xuan's abilities.

But now it seems that that is far from the upper limit.

That was just the beginning of Lin Xuan's path.

At the same time, a new notification finally popped up in front of Lin Xuan's eyes.

[Initiation complete.]

[The Corpse Soul Vine absorbs the essence of the golden light rune, thus improving its quality.]

The Corpse Vine has mutated.

The Corpse Soul Vine has mutated into the Golden-Patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine.

[Quality Improvement: Green.]

[Trait: Soul Devouring and Corpse Control, corrected to Soul Suppressing and Corpse Manipulation.]

(Soul Suppressing and Corpse Control: The Golden-Patterned Soul Suppressing Vine is refined by golden light, giving it a golden glow and enhancing its ability to suppress zombies and spirits.)

[Special trait: Resonance of the Corpse Aperture, corrected to Formation of the Dharma Aperture.]

(The Dharma transmission command: After the Golden-Patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine parasitizes, it can take root in the seven orifices and the throat and tongue, emitting Dharma sounds with golden light and runes through the corpse's mouth, nose, and throat. The Dharma sounds can suppress the restless corpse energy, control the parasitic vines, strengthen the power of the Dharma, and enhance the strength of the army.)
