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

It's finally ripe!

A glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

On the semi-transparent panel that only he could see, the growth rate, which had been at 99.9%, finally jumped to 100%.

At the same time, a harmonious and full spiritual energy emanated from Qi Xuan's corpse.

The green, golden-patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine, which resided among the bones, internal organs, and meridians, had already devoured all the shattered Yellow Heavenly Life-Suppressing Veins along its path. Within the vine, the originally mixed and evil corpse energy and Yellow Sprout medicinal power had been repeatedly refined by the vitality of the plants, transforming into the purest nutrients.

"Harvest!"

Lin Xuan did not hesitate and made his decision.

In an instant, the green and golden-patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine rooted in Qi Xuan's corpse suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.

One after another, the dark gold runes on the vine lit up.

Three illusory Dao fruits, formed from the essence of Dharma, slowly emerged from among the vines and leaves.

Harvest successful.

[Golden Light Mantra Proficiency +500 points.]

[The Golden Light Mantra has been upgraded to LV4, current quality: Gray.]

[Proficiency in the *Huang Ting Jing* increased by 500 points.]

[The *Huang Ting Jing* has been upgraded to LV3; current quality: White.]

[Proficiency in Corpse Control Technique +500 points.]

[The skill "Corpse Control" has been upgraded to LV3. Current quality: Gray.]

Three system notifications sounded in succession.

The next moment, a vast amount of magical insights flooded into Lin Xuan's mind like a burst dam.

All external sounds seemed to fade away rapidly at that moment.

Lin Xuan stood behind the altar, his body motionless, but his consciousness had already sunk into a mysterious realm.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the chaotic mist slowly parted.

A phantom image of a deity dressed in crimson robes then appeared.

The figure sat cross-legged, hands forming a mudra. Although the face was blurred, it exuded a solemn and righteous aura.

The deity's lips moved slightly, and a deep Taoist voice resonated from afar, echoing throughout the sea of ​​consciousness.

"The inner landscape of the Yellow Court, the spirits of the five internal organs..."

The scripture was recited word by word, the voice deep and profound, each word a gem, resounding and awakening!

Each word was like an invisible talisman carrying the essence of the Dao, passing through the ear canal and directly imprinted into the depths of Lin Xuan's soul.

Many doubts he had accumulated while studying the Tongue God chapter of the Huangting Jing were gradually dissipated in the Daoist sound.

The tongue is the sprout of the heart.

It is the main flavor, the main speech, and also the gateway where inner and outer voices converge.

It can generate saliva in the mouth and produce fluid under the tongue.

When mortals speak, they can only convey sound.

When a cultivator chants a mantra, he must use his tongue as a bridge and his Qi as a guide, entrusting the meaning of the mantra to each syllable.

If the tongue is not clear, even if one can recite the mantras fluently, it is merely a matter of having the form.

Once the tongue spirit is perfected, one can cleanse the soul with the sound of the Tao when reciting scriptures, and each word of the mantra can carry the meaning of the Dharma.

The same incantation, when uttered by someone who has reached the pinnacle of tongue cultivation, possesses a power far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators.

As the chanting continued, the phantom of a deity clad in crimson robes slowly descended.

It descends from the sea of ​​consciousness into the throat, and then flows straight into the root of the tongue.

hum!

Lin Xuan's tongue trembled slightly, and a tingling sensation, like a subtle electric current, instantly spread across the entire surface of his tongue.

The internal energy flow accelerated accordingly!

The pure magical power that was originally scattered throughout the limbs and bones was drawn in and gathered along the meridians, continuously pouring into the tongue orifice.

A crimson light shone from deep within Lin Xuan's throat.

Initially, the light was only the size of a grain of rice.

As the Dao Qi continued to flow in, the crimson spiritual light rapidly expanded, gradually condensing into a red-clad deity sitting upright in the Dharma aperture at the root of the tongue.

Although it is small in form, its meaning is exactly the same as the illusory image in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The tongue-spirit technique quickly solidified under the influence of Dao Qi, and the last obstacle that originally stood in front of the perfect realm was pierced through by the Dao sound as thin as paper.

Click!

A shattering sound, audible only to Lin Xuan, rang out, and the invisible shackles cracked in response.

The tongue-spirited technique has been completely perfected!

A sweet, fragrant saliva quietly welled up from under Lin Xuan's tongue.

That saliva was not ordinary saliva, but rather a golden elixir formed by the fusion and condensation of the essence of the five internal organs and the Dao Qi after the tongue spirit has reached perfection.

Golden fluids moisten the filth, and jade-like liquid nourishes the spirit.

This substance has a wonderful effect on nourishing the five internal organs and harmonizing the internal environment that is difficult to match with ordinary elixirs.

Lin Xuan instinctively swallowed it.

The saliva slid down the throat and into the abdomen, instantly transforming into a warm and lingering force that flowed to the internal organs.

The already perfected double kidney spirit was the first to tremble.

Two shimmering blue lights emerged from between the waist and kidneys, transforming into two streams of water-mandala intent that flowed upwards along the meridians.

The newly perfected Tongue God also radiated crimson light.

Water and fire are in harmony, and red and blue reflect each other.

The spirits of the heart, lungs, liver, and spleen, which are still being nurtured, are also nourished by the golden elixir and the inner vision, each giving rise to a subtle and mysterious change.

The heartbeat becomes more steady and powerful, and with each contraction, it sends abundant blood and energy throughout the body.

His breath was deep and even when he was standing in the pouring rain, his breathing was not disordered at all.

The liver's wood energy was nourished, and the eyes immediately became clear, making the trajectory of every drop of water in the rain curtain clearly visible.

The spleen, being of substantial earth element, guards the central palace, harmonizing and unifying several different types of spiritual intent.

The Qi of the five internal organs circulates among themselves and eventually returns to the Dantian.

boom!

A low rumble of thunder seemed to resound within Lin Xuan's body.

The Dao Qi, which had already accumulated to its limit, suddenly boiled over!

The dantian expanded rapidly under the impact of this force, and the meridians became more resilient and wider under the nourishment of the golden liquid.

The pure Dao Qi surged through, like a mountain torrent breaking through a riverbed in the rain.

The invisible bottleneck between the mid-stage and late-stage Taoist practice lasted only a moment before it was broken through in one fell swoop!

Boom!

Just then, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire Lingxi Village.

An invisible wave of energy suddenly spread out from Lin Xuan, causing the talismans on the altar to flutter loudly.

Late-stage Taoist!

In the distance, Uncle Nine, who was fighting with the leader of the incense shop, suddenly turned around.

When he saw the crimson spiritual light pulsating in Lin Xuan's throat, even his usually composed face couldn't help but show a hint of shock.

"Perfected tongue mastery?! How could this be...?"

Uncle Nine's heart skipped a beat.

He had personally examined Lin Xuan's body just a few days ago.

At that time, Lin Xuan had just received the blessing of the Well God, and his two kidneys had reached perfection in one fell swoop, which had shocked him for a long time.

But... how many days have passed?

Now, Lin Xuan has even cultivated his tongue technique to perfection.

For ordinary people practicing the "Huangting Jing," it takes a long time to nurture each inner spirit.

Comprehension, magical power, and opportunity are all indispensable.

Even the most talented disciples of the Maoshan lineage could not possibly bring three inner gods to perfection in such a short period of time.

But Lin Xuan actually did it!

Uncle Nine's gaze quickly fell on the golden-patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine inside Qi Xuan's corpse.

The magical intent that erupted from the vines when they were just maturing could not escape his perception.

"It really was those spirit vines!"

A thought raced through Uncle Nine's mind.

"Ah Xuan's natural Dao body can not only enlighten and cultivate plants, but also receive nourishment from the spiritual plants he has personally nurtured."

"The spirit vine devoured the evil power of the Yellow Heaven Sect and fed back the purest essence of its teachings to Ah Xuan, which helped him comprehend the tongue god in one fell swoop."

At this moment, Uncle Nine felt that he had gradually come to understand the mysteries of Lin Xuan's physique...

At the same time, he also realized that Lin Xuan was at a critical moment of enlightenment and breakthrough.

Although the entire process appeared to take only a few breaths to outsiders, the battlefield was constantly changing.

Five alchemists and four strange infants were nearby.

If someone were to launch a sneak attack without regard for consequences, it could very well ruin Lin Xuan's rare opportunity.

Uncle Nine took a step forward, leaving several afterimages in the rain.

In the blink of an eye, Uncle Nine traversed more than ten zhang and landed steadily next to Lin Xuan's altar.

Besides the newly harvested green main vine, the other dozen or so white-quality golden-patterned soul-suppressing vines have also absorbed a large amount of Huangya medicinal power.

A semi-transparent system panel appeared.

[Golden-Veined Soul-Suppressing Vine Growth Rate: 97%]

[Golden-Veined Soul-Suppressing Vine Growth Rate: 98%]

[Golden-Veined Soul-Suppressing Vine Growth Rate: 99%]

[Golden-Veined Soul-Suppressing Vine Growth Rate: 99%]

......

All of the dozen or so vines were nearing maturity.
