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

"The Li family behind this must have sensed something was wrong and deliberately let those four strange infants lead their master in circles to buy time and cut off the clues."

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"really."

Uncle Nine nodded slightly upon hearing this, but his expression remained somewhat grim.

"When I followed those four strange infants last night, I not only broke the seal on the water vein map, but also deliberately activated the aura of the water palace in the map."

"Given their methods, they should have been able to detect that the Water Vein Diagram had broken free, but a whole night has passed, and apart from those four strange infants, there hasn't been a single unusual aura nearby."

"The person behind the scenes not only didn't come to snatch the water vein map, but didn't even try to probe us."

At this point, Uncle Nine gave a soft hum.

"To hide their lair, they were even willing to abandon this temple's water vein map."

"The Li family is much more cautious than the Yellow Heaven Cult. These people are not easy to deal with."

Lin Xuan also spoke with a solemn expression.

Uncle Nine nodded, agreeing with Lin Xuan's idea.

Then, as if remembering something, he reached out and touched the Qiankun bag at his waist.

An old, yellowed scroll appeared in his palm.

"Since the Li family doesn't dare to come and take the map, it's no longer of any use to me if it stays in my hands."

As he spoke, Uncle Jiu handed the scroll to Lin Xuan.

"As for where the Li family is hiding, I will find another way to investigate later."

"Take this water vein diagram and study it carefully."

Lin Xuan reached out and took the scroll.

As soon as he touched it, he felt a warm and substantial aura emanating from the scroll.

Compared to last night, the aura emanating from the scroll has become noticeably more subdued.

The shimmering water light that had been faintly visible completely subsided, and even Lin Xuan, using his Kidney Spirit Technique, could only vaguely sense a trace of gentle spiritual energy within it.

"I have already suppressed its aura with a spirit-sealing talisman. As long as you don't actively activate it, the aura in the picture will at most spread to within three zhang around you."

"In this way, we can prevent the Li family from sensing the location of the scroll through the Water Mansion's magical intent, and it will not affect your normal comprehension."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

Uncle Nine reached out and tapped the surface of the scroll again.

"Don't underestimate this picture."

"It can not only serve as a ritual implement and mobilize the spiritual energy of the nearby water element, but it is also a rare visualization image in itself."

"A visualization diagram?"

A hint of interest flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

"good."

Uncle Nine hummed in agreement.

"Although most of the Dharma meaning in the picture has been taken away by the evil array set up by the Seven Mysterious Corpses and the Yellow Heaven Sect, its essence has not been damaged."

"The remaining portion is still extremely rare."

At this point, Uncle Nine looked at Lin Xuan, his expression becoming more serious.

"Although your kidney spirits are already perfected, perfection only means that the Dharma aperture is complete, it does not mean that this path has come to an end."

"The five internal organs and six bowels of the human body are all in harmony with the five elements of heaven and earth."

"The kidneys belong to the water element, store essence, and govern the body's fluids and innate constitution."

"The way of water may seem simple, but it is actually infinitely varied. Streams, rivers, clouds and rain, and hidden springs all have different forms, and their methods of operation are naturally different as well."

"If you can glean some insight from this water vein diagram, it will not only deepen your understanding of the principles of water movement, but it should also greatly benefit the circulation of your meridians and the refinement of your Daoist Qi."

Lin Xuan nodded thoughtfully. "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

Last night in Lingxi Village, he was busy dealing with the Seven Mysterious Corpses, the Yellow Heaven Sect alchemist, and the four mutated infants. He only had time to judge the quality of the water vein map through the system and had no chance to carefully study it.

Now that Uncle Nine has personally sealed the aura of the water vein diagram, it's just the right time for him to examine it in peace.

Lin Xuan placed the scroll on the table and untied the crimson cord binding it.

The three spirit-sealing talismans glowed slightly and then floated up on their own, hovering above the scroll.

He grasped the edge of the reel and slowly unrolled it.

Then, an ancient Dragon King Temple shrouded in mist and rain suddenly appeared before the two of them.

The Dragon King Temple in the picture is built against the mountain, with its flying eaves and green tiles like scales.

Two mottled stone pillars stand in front of the temple gate, each carved with a spiraling water dragon.

Although it is just a scene in a painting, it can make people feel a profound Buddhist meaning that has been accumulated over the years.

Below the Dragon King Temple lies a continuous range of mountains and rivers.

Pale blue water ripples meander among the mountains.

Some of them are exposed on the surface of the earth, turning into winding rivers and small streams.

Some have sunk underground, extending in all directions along underground rivers, springs, and rock fissures.

All the waterways intertwine, yet they do not appear chaotic.

Like the meridians of the human body, they connect rivers, wells, and underground water veins within a radius of dozens of miles, with the Dragon King Temple in the mountains serving as the central hub of the water palace.

As soon as Lin Xuan could see the water ripples in the painting, a mysterious aura emanated from it.

hum-

The Dao Qi that was originally calm within his body suddenly began to circulate on its own.

Deep within the kidneys, two already perfected kidney spirits simultaneously opened their eyes.

Two divine figures, dressed in dark blue robes, sat cross-legged within the magic aperture.

As the power of the Water Vein Diagram spread, the divine light of the Water Palace behind the Kidney God slowly rippled, spreading in circles towards the meridians within the body.

The scroll before Lin Xuan seemed to suddenly come to life.

The mountains rise and fall.

The river is surging.

Between the springs, one can even hear the faint sound of dripping water.

Lin Xuan's gaze gradually lost focus.

In a daze, he seemed to be pulled into the painting by an invisible force.

The surrounding mortuary courtyard quickly receded into the distance; the tables, chairs, spirit fields, and walls all vanished.

In its place stands an ancient Dragon King Temple situated in the center of the vast waterway.

Outside the temple, mist and rain shrouded the area, and the sound of rushing rivers could be heard from all directions!

Lin Xuan's two kidney gods sat cross-legged on the left and right sides inside the Dragon King Temple, like deities guarding the water palace.

Mountain rivers, underground springs, and rocky creeks all transformed into pale blue ribbons, converging towards the two kidney deities.

At the same time, the statue of the Well God placed next to the old well trembled slightly.

A faint blue light emanated from the surface of the statue.

The previously calm moisture in the backyard was drawn in and gradually converged in the direction of Lin Xuan.

The moon lotus in the water tank swayed gently.

Tiny dewdrops floated up on the leaves of the hybrid blood lotus, suspended in mid-air.

Even the medicine pot where Xiao Jin lived rippled with pale blue light.

The Dao Qi within Lin Xuan's body gradually grew stronger as the surrounding moisture gathered.

Uncle Nine, who had been resting to the side, immediately sat up straighter upon seeing this scene.

"This is... an epiphany?!"

He simply asked Lin Xuan to try visualization and see if he could gain any insights from it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan entered a state of enlightenment after just one glance!

"The Natural Dao Body..."

Uncle Nine's lips twitched slightly.

"Could it truly resonate so perfectly with the spirit of mountains, rivers, plants, and trees?"

Back then, when he first tried to comprehend the visualization diagrams of his master, he spent three whole days studying them before he could barely grasp a trace of the Dharma meaning from the complex patterns.

After observing for another seven days, he finally entered a state of deep meditation.

It took more than a month before we finally achieved something.

Even so, he had already been praised by his master for his outstanding comprehension.

But now...

Uncle Nine looked at the newly unfolded water vein map, and then at Lin Xuan, who had already entered a state of enlightenment.

It only took a breath or two.

A single glance is enough to enter a meditative state!

A sudden realization!

This level of understanding cannot be simply described as genius.

Uncle Nine remained silent for a moment, then quietly put down his teacup.

You really can't compare people.

In particular, one should not compare oneself to this eldest disciple.

Otherwise, one's resolve will inevitably become unstable sooner or later.
