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

As the Chiwen clay figurine was added to the system's inventory, the incense and spiritual light in the stone chamber vanished instantly.

The chilling aura vanished as a result.

Lin Xuan looked at the incense burner in front of him, and the panel appeared before his eyes.

【Fragrance-Gathering and Spirit-Nourishing Censer】

[Quality: White]

[Description: When placed before temple statues for extended periods, it can gather the power of incense offerings and nurture the spiritual essence of the clay sculpture.]

[Entry: Gathering Incense Offerings]

……

nice one!

The backyard of the mortuary is currently lacking an object that can reliably collect the incense offerings and prayers.

Although the statue of the Well God receives offerings every day, the power of the incense and prayers is intangible and intangible. Apart from a portion being absorbed by the statue, much of it dissipates on its own.

If this incense burner is placed in front of the statue of the deity, it can gather back the scattered incense smoke.

Whether used to nurture the statue of the Well God or to enlighten spiritual plants, the effect will be excellent.

Lin Xuan casually picked up the incense burner, placed it next to his Qiankun bag, and put it into his system backpack.

Then, Lin Xuan took out the soul-collecting talisman that had sealed the white-robed scholar's soul.

On the surface of the talisman, the human figure that was originally quite clear has now become extremely dim.

Even when Lin Xuan channeled a wisp of gentle Dao Qi into the Dao, there was no response whatsoever.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan knew that the white-robed scholar had been seriously injured by the Chiwen clay figure and needed to rest, and would not wake up for the time being.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​asking if there were any other secret rooms in the courtyard.

Afterwards, Lin Xuan and his two companions carefully inspected the underground secret chamber and the several houses above.

Push open the cabinet doors, tap on the walls, and check the floor and under the bed.

After confirming that there were no other secret rooms or more people being held in the compound, they prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Lin Xuan returned to the body of the white-robed scholar.

The clay statue of the white-robed scholar still lies there.

The clay statue's surface was covered in cracks, and the original human flesh and blood had almost completely disappeared. Only from the depths of the cracks could a faint wisp of water-attribute evil energy occasionally flash by.

Lin Xuan's gaze fell on the clay statue, and a panel appeared.

[Huangni Remains Statue]

[Quality: White]

[Description: A human-shaped clay figure formed from flesh and blood, incense, sacred soil, and water-related evil energy. It retains some life force and soul essence within. It can be used to refine sacred soil and as material for sculpting ritual implements.]

[Entries: Water Demon's Remains, Fertile Soil of Souls]

......

A fertile ground for the soul?

Lin Xuan's heart stirred slightly.

Ordinary spiritual soil can only nourish the roots of grass and trees and increase the growth rate of plants.

Clay figurines bearing the term "Soul Soil" are likely to have special effects on plants related to the soul, such as Soul-Guiding Flowers and Soul-Nourishing Gourd Vine.

If it is purified and made into spiritual soil, it will definitely have a great benefit to plants!

Leaving these remains here would only serve as enemy resources for the Li family; it would be better to take them back and use them as fertilizer for the fields.

"Sorry to offend you~~"

Lin Xuan bowed respectfully to the clay statue, then raised his hand and put it into his system inventory.

After the clay statue disappeared, several detached bluish-black scales were suddenly revealed on the ground.

Lin Xuan looked over, and the panel appeared before his eyes.

[Blue-black Scales]

[Quality: Gray]

[Description: Dark blue scales formed from mutated flesh and blood, tough in texture, containing faint water-elemental evil energy, and retaining a trace of soul power.]

[Entry: Scale Armor Technique]

......

"Scale Armor Technique?"

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This is actually a spell inscription!

Judging from the name, it should be some kind of defensive or weapon-refining spell.

Although its grade is not high, it still has some uses. It can be used to enlighten Vajra Bamboo or other defensive spiritual plants, and may even give the plants protective qualities such as scales and armor.

He collected all the scattered dark blue scales into his system inventory, and then carefully put away the remaining white quality plants along with their flowerpots.

These plants all possess the "Incense Nourishing Spirit Technique," so they naturally cannot be left here to go to waste.

After doing all this, Lin Xuan secretly curled up the corners of his mouth.

Just by eliminating the "Fifth Young Master" of the Li family, they've already reaped so many good things. If they wiped out the entire Li family, wouldn't they be rich?!

Lin Xuan felt a surge of excitement just thinking about it.

But then, it suddenly occurred to him that there seemed to be a powerful demon behind the Li family...

But... what's there to be afraid of?!

The Li family has powerful backers, but doesn't Lin Xuan have any?!

By offending his master, the Li family has really bitten off more than they can chew!

Just as Lin Xuan was secretly relieved, Chen Bingwen, standing to the side, stared intently at Lin Xuan's Qiankun bag, his eyes filled with restrained shock and existential doubt.

no?!

Fellow Daoist Lin, is your Qiankun bag really that big?!

How much stuff was put inside?!

A complete Chiwen statue, an incense burner, a human-shaped clay sculpture, and more than a dozen pots of flowers!

Good heavens! This isn't a magic bag, it's a magic sleeve! It actually contains a magic space inside?!

Thinking of this, Chen Bingwen felt a slight pang of sadness.

The One-Eyebrow Taoist is too kind! He gives away cultivation resources freely, crafts magical artifacts with great care, and even gives us such a huge Qiankun bag!

Chen Bingwen strongly suspected that Uncle Nine had gone to great lengths to cultivate Lin Xuan, even risking his own life. That was incredibly wasteful...

Even if he had that many resources, he... still wouldn't be able to do it.

"Fellow Daoist Lin possesses extraordinary talent; no matter how many resources are poured into him, it's all worthwhile. Unlike myself, resources spent on me are a complete waste..."

Chen Bingwen sighed inwardly, accepting the reality.

After finishing everything, the three left through the back door, preparing to go to the Li residence.

And at this moment,

Boom—!

A muffled, loud thud suddenly came from the distant mountains and forests.

Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath my feet trembled slightly.

The townspeople all looked up, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty as they gazed into the mountains.

"What's going on? Has the earth dragon turned over?"

"It looks like a landslide!"

"It's heading towards the Li Family Manor. Could it be that the Dragon King is enraged, causing a landslide?!"

In the distance, a large cloud of smoke and dust rose, and in the dim light, it seemed that a mountain was collapsing downwards.

"Senior Sister!"

Chen Bingwen's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead.

Only at this moment did he suddenly remember that before Li Fuhai drugged him, he had clearly said—

Before long, Du Hongying will be sent to keep him company!

This shows that the Li family had already set a trap near the villa.

He had just woken up from the intoxicating incense, and the effects of the drug had not yet completely dissipated, so he was still somewhat drowsy.

Afterwards, he learned about the "Fifth Young Master", the water seed and the underground prison. His attention was drawn to one event after another, which is why he temporarily forgot about such an important matter.

A loud bang is now coming from the direction of the mountain villa, and even the mountain itself is starting to collapse...

Du Hongying is probably in danger!

Chen Bingwen's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Master Yimei, Fellow Daoist Lin, there's something..."
