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

The Earthworm Spirit-Concentrating Grass is mature and ready for harvest.

The Earthworm Spirit-Concentrating Grass is mature and ready for harvest.

【Huangyazhen Shencao...】

......

A series of system notifications rang in Lin Xuan's mind.

Lin Xuan's chanting gradually slowed down, "Immortals and Taoist priests are not gods, but accumulate essence and energy to achieve immortality..."

As the last line of the Huangting Jing fell, the backyard returned to quiet, with only the flowers and plants swaying gently in the morning breeze.

He slowly opened his eyes, got up and went to the flowerpot where the calming grass was planted.

After several rounds of guidance and cultivation, the seven plants of the Concentration Grass in the flowerpot now exhibit three distinctly different states.

At the very center is that green-quality yellow-budded herb that brings peace and tranquility.

It is the largest in size, with thick leaves that are bluish-gold in color. A faint yellow light flows between the veins of the leaves, and when you get close, you can smell a bitter yet rich medicinal fragrance.

Around the Divine Grass of Huangya Town are five Earth Elemental Spirit-Condensing Grasses.

They are slightly smaller in size, with leaves and rhizomes that are distinctly yellowish-brown, and roots that are deeply embedded in the soil, constantly absorbing the power of the earth element.

At the very edge was the ordinary Concentration Grass that had never been enlightened.

Its leaves are still slender and green, but in terms of both size and spirit, it is far inferior to the other six plants.

At this moment, the maturity level of all seven Concentration Grass plants has reached 100%.

Without further hesitation, Lin Xuan whispered, "Harvest them all."

As he reached out and touched the Yellow Sprout Divine Grass, a system notification sounded first.

Harvest one green, high-quality Huangyazhen herb.

[Proficiency in "The Concentrating Incense Recipe" +500.]

[Proficiency in "Yellow Sprout Great Technique - Incomplete" +500.]

Following that, the five Earth Elemental Mind-Concentrating Grass plants were also harvested.

Harvest one white-quality Earthworm Concentration Grass.

[Proficiency in "The Concentrating Incense Recipe" +100.]

[Proficiency in "Yellow Sprout Great Technique - Incomplete" +100.]

......

Amidst the continuous notifications, a flood of insights poured into Lin Xuan's mind.

The first thing that appears is the complete recipe for calming incense.

The quantities and proportions of various medicinal herbs, as well as the methods of processing the materials, all came to mind.

The calming herb needs to be dried in the shade first, and then ground into powder separately from other calming and heart-clearing herbs.

Different medicinal powders cannot be mixed directly. Instead, they must be added to the medicinal juice in sequence, repeatedly pounded and stirred, and then boiled into a fine fragrant paste.

After the medicinal properties in the fragrant mud are fully integrated, it must go through many processes such as awakening the mud, kneading the incense, and drying in the shade before it can be made into a true calming incense.

This method of making incense is much more complicated than that of ordinary incense sticks, and requires more auxiliary materials.

However, once made, the calming incense can not only help practitioners concentrate and calm their minds, but also reduce distracting thoughts and assist in entering a meditative state, with effects far superior to ordinary calming incense.

Just as Lin Xuan was digesting these insights into incense making, the system notification sounded again.

[Your mastery of the "Concentrating Incense Recipe" has reached the promotion requirement.]

[Skill level increased.]

Current level: Lv5 (gray).

......

The Concentration Incense recipe has been upgraded to level five, with many details being added accordingly.

The control of heat, changes in medicinal properties, and the state of the fragrant mud, which originally required repeated attempts to master, were now deeply imprinted in Lin Xuan's consciousness as if he had practiced them hundreds or thousands of times.

With his current skill level, he would almost never fail to make ordinary calming incense.

Even if you use a green spiritual material like Yellow Sprout Divine Grass, as long as the auxiliary materials are of good quality, there is a high probability of refining a white, high-grade, or even close to green quality, Concentration Incense.

The notification sound disappeared in a flash.

Then, another, more complex realization emerged from the depths of my mind.

This time, it's "Huangya Dafa: Remnant".

The core of this is not simply absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but cultivating the essence of the five internal organs.

Nourish your vital energy with your essence, and nourish your spirit with your vital energy.

By contemplating the development process of the yellow sprout, one can mobilize the essence of the five internal organs, gradually giving birth to a wisp of primordial energy within the body.

The cultivation method of this technique is very special. The practitioner needs to visualize a yellow sprout in their mind.

In the beginning, the yellow sprouts were no bigger than grains of rice, buried in a patch of chaotic soil.

With each breath, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth transforms into spring rain, nourishing the yellow buds, while the essence of the five internal organs, like fertile soil, slowly nourishes its roots.

Yellow buds break through the soil, take root, sprout, and unfold leaves...

The entire process is a continuous circulation, strengthening, and harmonization of the vital energy in the five internal organs of the cultivator.

Lin Xuan subconsciously began to circulate the cultivation technique in his mind.

The Dao Qi within the body flowed slowly, and the figures of the left and right kidney spirits appeared first in the two kidneys.

Chun Yuanzhen and Xiang Diwu sat cross-legged in the kidney palace, one governing water and the other storing essence, their bodies radiating a faint divine light.

Within the heart, the outline of the mind also emerges.

However, compared to the two already perfected kidney gods, his mind was still very blurry, and he could only vaguely make out a human shape.

Between the heart and kidneys, qi, blood, and essence flow slowly.

Guided by the two kidney spirits and the heart spirit, strands of essence spread to the liver, spleen, and lungs, nourishing the yet-to-manifest body spirit and organs.

Lin Xuan's mind gradually sank into it.

Just then, a system notification sounded.

[A skill highly compatible with the basic cultivation technique has been detected.]

[Skills begin to merge.]

[Proficiency level is increasing...]

Lin Xuan's insights into planting, cultivation, plant growth, and the internal refinement of yellow buds quickly intertwined in his mind.

The two originally independent systems began to merge in a very natural way.

[Fusion complete.]

[The skill name has been corrected to: Yellow Sprout Spirit Nurturing Technique.]

[Skill quality improved.]

[Current Level: Lv2 (White)]

boom!

A more complete understanding of plants and trees suddenly unfolded in Lin Xuan's mind.

After integration, Huangya Dafa is no longer just an internal cultivation method that affects the five internal organs of the human body.

The concepts of cultivating yellow buds, extending roots, and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, combined with basic cultivation techniques, have formed a secret art specifically for cultivating spiritual plants.

[Yellow Sprout Spirit Nurturing Technique]

[Quality: White]

[Level: Lv2]

[Effect 1: Resonance during chanting.]

[Through a specific cultivation path, one can rapidly consume Dao Qi and spiritual energy to strengthen the sutra's Dharma intent emitted during chanting, increasing the efficiency with which nearby spiritual plants absorb this Dharma intent, and with a small probability of entering a resonance state with the spiritual plants.]

[Once you enter resonance, the plant connects with your energy, significantly increasing its absorption of spiritual energy, transformation of spiritual power, and growth.]

[Effect 2: Seedling and Spirit Cultivation.]

[It can consume Dao Qi and one's own essence and blood to condense a yellow sprout, which can then be planted into the spiritual plant.]

[The yellow sprout is equivalent to an inner-refinement seed, which can assist spiritual plants in absorbing and transforming external energy, accelerating their own growth.]

The strength of the yellow sprout is related to the caster's cultivation level, essence blood, Dao Qi, and the quality of the spiritual plant itself.
