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

Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine's gaze lingered for a moment on the octagonal sun-swallowing lamp, the Yin-Yang moon mirror, and the seven-star alchemy furnace.

He walked closer, picked up the Yin Moon Mirror to examine it, and then spoke.

"The Yellow Heaven Sect believes in the Yellow Heaven, which is above all living beings, and that the sun, moon and stars are all manifestations of the Yellow Heaven."

"Therefore, some of their traditions mainly involve collecting the essence of the sun, moon, and stars to harmonize the yin and yang of the human body and refine the essence of the five internal organs."

Uncle Nine put the Yin Moon Mirror back on the ground.

"Although this approach contains many heresies, it is fundamentally derived from the internal alchemy methods of the Xuanmen sect."

"The Yellow Heaven Sect is roughly divided into two factions."

"One lineage leans towards internal cultivation of the Three Lights, emphasizing the absorption of the sun and moon, the refinement of the five internal organs, and the nurturing of the Yellow Sprout. The ritual implements used are mostly designed to receive the Three Lights and assist in cultivation, so the evil energy is naturally not too strong."

"The other lineage has gone completely astray, using people as alchemy furnaces to collect the five internal organs, devour souls, and even refining living people into so-called Five Internal Organs Pills to enhance their own cultivation."

At this point, Uncle Nine snorted coldly.

"However, don't assume that the previous lineage is anything good."

"They talk about internal cultivation, but when it comes to actually improving their cultivation, they do just as much killing to steal Qi and absorbing flesh and blood."

"However, they pay more attention to the purity of the three lights when crafting magical artifacts, so these things are less contaminated."

"The fact that the ritual implements are clean does not mean that the person using them is clean."

Lin Xuan nodded thoughtfully, "Disciple understands."

At the same time, I thought to myself: No wonder the inscriptions on these magical artifacts are all related to the Three Lights, so that's why...

Uncle Nine glanced at the sky and said, "If you understand, get some rest."

"Yes, Master." Lin Xuan nodded upon hearing this.

Uncle Nine turned and left the backyard, while Lin Xuan continued with his work.

He first took out all the dozen or so potted plants he had previously obtained from the Li family's secret courtyard.

These flowers were originally planted in different pots, but due to limited space in the backyard, they can only be planted together temporarily.

Lin Xuan found the largest ceramic basin, cleaned out the ordinary soil inside, and then gathered the incense and spirit soil from more than a dozen other basins together.

Then, according to the length of his root system, he planted fragrant orchids, fragrant roses, fragrant jasmine, and several other wildflowers in sequence.

Although the flowers and plants are a bit crowded, the soil is fertile enough that it won't affect their growth in the short term.

The remaining incense and spiritual soil were all filled into the Seven Star Pill Furnace by Lin Xuan.

He placed a layer of broken tiles at the bottom of the stove to prevent the soil from clogging the ventilation holes, and then carefully dug out the exotic gourd vine and transplanted it in with its roots and soil.

As soon as the vines fell into the alchemy furnace, their slender tendrils wrapped around the furnace handles on their own, and a few tender leaves gently unfurled, seemingly quite satisfied with their new growing environment.

After settling the gourd vine, Lin Xuan took out the yellow mud remains left behind by Bai Yishu after his death.

The clay figure still retains a blurry human shape, with sunken facial features and arms hanging down at its sides, looking like a corpse covered in mud.

The moonlight fell on the clay statue, but it did not reflect any luster.

The white-robed scholar's soul had already been collected into the soul-collecting talisman; this body made of yellow mud was merely a shell left behind after he was corrupted by the evil magic of the Li family.

But no matter what, this is still the other person's former body.

Lin Xuan clasped his hands together and bowed to the clay statue.

"Layman, I will use your remains to nurture spiritual plants."

"When the flowers bloom and bear fruit in the future, you will receive a share of the nourishing substances for your soul."

"I'm sorry."

After saying that, he picked up the shovel next to him and slapped it down on the clay statue.

boom!

The yellow mud residue immediately cracked open.

Lin Xuan patted it a few more times, and soon the entire clay statue was broken into clay blocks of different sizes.

These soils bear the inscription "Soul Soil," making them ideal for planting soul-type spiritual plants.

He carefully crushed the mud and took out some of it to put into a new flowerpot.

Afterwards, Lin Xuan went to the Soul-Guiding Flower, carefully dug out its roots, and transplanted it into the fertile soil of the soul.

After the Soul-Guiding Flower fell into the soil, its petals, which had been drooping slightly, trembled gently, and its roots quickly spread out to absorb the residual soul power in the soil.

The remaining fertile soil of the soul was poured by Lin Xuan into the water tank where the Water Soul Flower was planted.

The soil fell to the bottom of the water and quickly sank to the bottom. Then the water spirit flowers were replanted.

After dealing with the yellow mud remains, Lin Xuan put the bluish-black strange scales into a wooden box and placed it next to his futon.

The soul-sealing talisman that preserves the white-robed scholar's soul is placed on the other side.

He also placed the remaining materials suitable for initiation around his meditation area.

In this way, when he recites the scriptures, the meaning of the scriptures can simultaneously cleanse these items, gradually eliminating the residual evil energy within them.

Afterwards, Lin Xuan placed the Incense Gathering and Spirit Nourishing Furnace in front of the Well God statue.

The incense burner is positioned slightly low so as not to obstruct the statue of the Well God.

Finally, he took out the Chiwen statue from his system inventory. The statue still had the talisman left by Uncle Nine on its forehead, which firmly suppressed the evil energy remaining inside the clay statue.

Lin Xuan carried the Chiwen statue to the well and placed it not far from the well god statue.

This statue, after all, possesses green quality. As long as the evil energy is gradually cleared away through chanting, and then a suitable spiritual plant is found to be used to infuse it with the essence of incense and the blood of the serpent, the [spiritual essence] and the blood of the serpent within can be utilized.

Lin Xuan straightened up and looked around the backyard.

The once spacious open space is now mostly occupied by flower pots, water tanks, alchemy furnaces, and various spiritual plants.

Only a few narrow paths remain between the ridges of the fields, and if you are not careful while walking, you may bump into the branches and leaves of a spiritual plant.

"The place is still too small."

Expanding the land surrounding the charitable estate is now urgent.

Fortunately, Ren Fa has agreed to sell him the five acres of wasteland around the area.

Once the land deed is officially completed and the insights into the array nurtured within the Soul-Guiding Flower are harvested, he will be able to begin planning the new spiritual fields.

At that time, spiritual plants with different attributes will be planted in separate areas, with the backyard of the mortuary as the center.

Lin Xuan looked at the Soul-Guiding Flower, which had been given a new soul-fertile soil.

With the nourishment of the fertile soil of the soul, its growth rate will inevitably be much faster than before.

Once the Yin Moon Mirror has finished purifying, it can be incorporated into the Mirror as a strengthening material, which will further shorten the maturation time of the Soul-Guiding Flower.

Once one has gained insights into the formations within, expanding the spiritual fields will no longer be a simple matter of clearing land, but will be arranged according to the water veins, earth energy, and the five elements.

Lin Xuan suppressed the thoughts in his mind, took out three sticks of incense, lit them, and the green smoke slowly rose.

He came to the statue of the Well God, held incense in both hands, and bowed respectfully.

Just as he was worshipping, a red light shone from the statue of the Well God and flashed across the lotus pedestal at the bottom of the statue.

The red light appeared extremely quickly, disappearing almost instantly upon illuminating the area.

At the same time, the Chiwen clay statue placed not far away seemed to be affected by some invisible impact, and the pale golden incense aura on the surface of the statue suddenly dimmed.

Snapped--

The talisman on the forehead of the Chiwen clay figure trembled slightly, and the edge of the talisman fluttered even without wind.

At that moment, Lin Xuan was bending down to insert three incense sticks into the incense burner and did not notice this scene.

After doing all this, he returned to his meditation cushion, sat down cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, formed a mudra with his hands, and slowly closed his eyes.

A moment later, the gentle and rhythmic chanting of sutras rang out in the backyard.

"The Supreme Lord, in his leisure, composed a seven-character poem explaining the physical form and the various deities..."

A gentle night breeze swept by, causing the flowers and plants in the backyard to sway.

A wisp of profound Buddhist meaning spread out along with the chanting, gradually enveloping the spiritual plants and magical artifacts throughout the courtyard.
