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

Xiao Jin was sleeping inside the medicine pot.

But at this moment, he was completely awake.

Its limbs clung tightly to the edge of the medicine pot, its body trembling slightly, and its pair of dark eyes stared intently at the statue of the Well God, filled with fear.

The oppressive aura emanating from the statue of the Well God clearly made it extremely uneasy.

Xiao Jin soon spotted Lin Xuan standing to the side.

It exerted force with its hind legs.

Whoosh!

The small body leaped out of the medicine jar, and with a few bounds, landed on Lin Xuan's shoulder.

She then pressed herself tightly against his neck, no longer daring to look at the statue of the Well God.

Lin Xuan reached out and patted Xiao Jin's head. "It's okay, don't be afraid!"

Sensing the familiar aura emanating from Lin Xuan, Xiao Jin's tense body finally relaxed slightly.

Just then, footsteps came from the backyard gate, and Uncle Nine walked in quickly, wearing an overcoat.

His gaze swept across the area and immediately landed on the statue of the Well God, which was absorbing the essence of the serpent.

"Master, why did you get up?" Lin Xuan asked.

"I sensed something was off about the atmosphere in the backyard, so I got up to take a look." Uncle Nine quickly walked to the well and carefully sensed the aura around the statue.

He stared at the constantly flowing blood-red patterns inside the Well God statue, his brows furrowing slightly. "What's going on with this Well God statue?"

"Even I don't know."

Lin Xuan shook his head.

"After I placed the Chiwen statue aside, I went back to chant scriptures."

"I heard the sound of the statue cracking, and when I came to check, I found that the Well God statue was absorbing the essence of the dragon snake inside the Chiwen statue."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine turned his gaze to the statue of the Well God.

The statue clearly depicts a human-shaped deity, seated cross-legged on the back of a black tortoise, wearing a divine robe and forming a mudra with his hands.

In terms of both appearance and divine function, it has no relation to the serpent.

But now, it is actively devouring the essence blood of the dragon snake.

This is clearly abnormal!

Uncle Nine was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "The deity in this Water Palace statue probably doesn't match the image carved outside."

"Master means..." Lin Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, "The deity inside may originally be a kind of spirit or monster, such as a dragon or snake."

Uncle Nine stared at the statue, his expression solemn.

"Aquatic spirits who have achieved success in their cultivation and have been granted a title can also enjoy incense offerings and become local water gods."

"Its status has likely fallen, and its divine will is incomplete, which is why it resides within the statue of the Well God."

Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, "His rank has dropped..."

No wonder the statue of the Well God absorbed the water mansion's magical intent from the Xuan Turtle Water-Suppressing Stone.

What kind of deity was it originally?

River God?

Water Palace General?

still is……

Dragon King?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but recall the Dragon King Temple that was related to the Li family.

Previously, when he was in Lingxi Village, he also obtained a blue-quality map of the Dragon King Temple's water veins from Huang Tianjiao.

Strangely, the statue of the Well God never actively absorbed the Dharma essence from the water vein diagram.

Is it because my current rank is insufficient to withstand the power of the water vein diagram?

Or is it because of the presence of the deity in the statue, and that the deity is not actually the Dragon King?

Lin Xuan vaguely felt that there was probably some connection between this statue of the Well God and the Dragon King Temple worshipped by the Li family.

But there are too few clues right now, so he can't be sure.

A moment later, the last wisp of dragon blood essence inside the Chiwen statue was completely extracted.

The blood mist completely disappeared into the statue of the Well God, and the dark red patterns were evenly distributed inside the white jade statue, eventually gradually disappearing.

The surface of the Chiwen statue is covered with cracks, and the entry for "[Jiaoshe Essence Blood]" has completely disappeared.

Fortunately, its quality did not drop to white; it remained green.

However, a faint, almost imperceptible blue hue has appeared within the original green quality light of the Well God statue.

The next moment, a system notification sounded in Lin Xuan's mind.

The Water Palace Turtle statue devoured the essence blood of the Flood Dragon.

[The power of bloodline merges with the essence of the Water Palace's magic.]

[Special trait: Water Vein Affinity; Water Vein Power Enhanced!]

Lin Xuan immediately looked at the statue of the Well God.

[The Water Palace Turtle Statue]

[Quality: Green]

[Special Traits: Affinity for Water Veins, Power of Water Veins, Breath of a Serpent]

[Water Affinity: When placed at a water source, it can slowly purify the water, gather aquatic spiritual energy, and significantly improve the growth rate and quality of surrounding spiritual plants. Within the coverage area of ​​the Water Palace's magical intent, aquatic spiritual plants have a very small chance of mutating.]

[Water Vein Power: Gathers surrounding water elemental energy, condenses the power of the water vein, and slowly transforms the water vein to form a feng shui pattern. The statue can condense three drops of spiritual liquid daily, which can be used for irrigating spiritual plants, refining elixirs, daily consumption, improving water quality, etc.]

[Serpent's Breath: Absorbs the power of bloodlines of the same origin to strengthen itself, and emits the aura of serpent bloodlines to the surrounding area, slowly increasing the vitality of nearby plants and creatures, and improving their growth and body tempering speed.]

......

Upon seeing the changes on the panel, Lin Xuan paused slightly.

He noticed the change in the [Water Vein Power] at first glance.

Originally, the Water Palace Spirit Turtle statue could only condense one drop of Water Palace Spirit Liquid per day.

Now it's increased to three drops!

Three drops a day, that's thirty drops in ten days.

If all of it were used to water the spirit plants, it would be enough to increase the growth rate of most of the water-type spirit plants in the backyard to another level.

Different species of blood lotus, moon-sleeping lotus, water spirit flower, cold spring dendrobium, and the water vein spirit herb just brought back from Lingxi Village can all benefit from it.

Besides irrigating spiritual plants, the Water Palace Spiritual Liquid can also be used to refine medicine, mix cinnabar, make spiritual food, and even be taken daily.

Previously, the production of spiritual liquid was too small, so Lin Xuan had to carefully calculate every drop.

Now production has tripled, and many uses that were previously too risky to try can now be gradually put on the agenda!

In addition, the [Breath of the Serpent] has been added.

This bloodline aura can not only strengthen the blood and qi of nearby creatures, but also increase the speed of body refinement.

The effect is likely to be even more pronounced on blood-attribute spiritual plants.

Lin Xuan immediately thought of the exotic blood lotus.

With the Well God statue continuously emitting the aura of a serpent, the Blood Lotus will absorb more vital energy, and its growth rate will inevitably increase accordingly.

"It's a pleasant surprise."

A look of satisfaction appeared on Lin Xuan's face.

Uncle Nine observed for a moment longer.

He was relieved to find that the statue of the Well God had stopped changing and that the aura it emitted had gradually stabilized.

"There's no indication of any malicious intent at the moment."

"However, the origin of this statue is not simple, so you should be more careful when you worship it in the future."

Lin Xuan nodded. "Disciple understands."

Uncle Nine gave a few more instructions, then turned and went back to his room to rest.

At this moment, Xiao Jin was still perched on Lin Xuan's shoulder.

Although the oppressive aura emanating from the Well God statue had weakened, it still refused to approach.

Lin Xuan gently comforted him for a few moments, then picked up a few medicine bottles from the ground and waved them in front of Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin's eyes lit up immediately, and her previous fear quickly dissipated.

Lin Xuan opened one of the medicine bottles, poured out a few pills, and put them into the medicine jar.

Glug!

Xiao Jin immediately jumped off his shoulder and landed back into the medicine jar.

It lowered its head, hugged a pill, and swallowed it. It squinted its eyes in comfort, and when it looked at the statue of the Well God again, it seemed that even the pressure from the serpent was not so scary anymore.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled.

He then walked to the water vat where the exotic blood lotus was planted, hugged the edge of the vat with both hands, and moved it near the statue of the well god.

As soon as the serpent's breath spread, the blood lotus in the water tank swayed gently, and the blood-red veins on its leaves lit up.

After settling the blood lotus, Lin Xuan returned to the futon.

He sat down cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and closed his eyes again.

A moment later, the chanting of the Golden Light Mantra rang out again in the backyard.

Waves of golden light spread out from Lin Xuan, continuing to cleanse the magical artifacts and spiritual plants throughout the courtyard.
