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

Qiu Sheng did not answer. He went to the statue of the Well God and examined it carefully.

Although there are many red patinas inside the statue, they do not appear strange. Instead, they make the entire statue more lustrous and mystical.

Qiu Sheng dared not be negligent, took out three incense sticks, lit them, and bowed respectfully.

Upon seeing this, Wencai also lit three incense sticks.

After worshipping the statue, Qiu Sheng's attention was quickly drawn to the well next to him.

The well water was clearer and brighter than before, and a very thin layer of mist shrouded the wellhead.

He leaned closer to the well and took a gentle breath.

A refreshing, moist mist wafted over, carrying no muddy or fishy smell whatsoever; instead, it invigorated the senses.

Qiu Sheng picked up a ladle and scooped a ladleful of clear water from the well.

"What are you doing?" Wencai asked curiously as he approached.

Qiu Sheng tilted his head back and took a sip. "Try it~~"

The cool well water brought a refreshing chill as it entered my mouth, and then that chill slid down my throat and into my stomach, like a clear spring flowing through my internal organs.

Qiu Sheng's eyes widened instantly, and he subconsciously let out a low exclamation, "Awesome!!!"

That refreshing, cool sensation is even more delightful than eating a bite of ice-cold watermelon on a sweltering summer day.

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he might have disturbed his senior brother, so he quickly shut his mouth and turned to look at the flowerpot.

Lin Xuan remained standing there with his eyes closed, his posture upright, his breathing long and deep, enveloped in a faint scent of grass and trees, as if he were completely immersed in some kind of profound enlightenment.

Qiu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the look of enjoyment on his face, Wencai quickly snatched the water ladle, "Let me have a taste."

He scooped up a ladleful and drank a large mouthful.

As the icy well water went down his throat, Wencai felt a shiver run through his body.

"It tastes so good!"

"How come this water tastes even better than sugar water?"

Qiu Sheng looked at the statue of the Well God, lost in thought.

"The sudden change in the well water is most likely related to the statue."

"As for why the statue changed..."

The two of them turned to look at Lin Xuan, who was still standing by the flowerpot with his eyes closed. The answer was obvious.

Wen Cai checked his body and suddenly opened his palm.

"I wonder if it's because I drank well water, but my palms feel much warmer than before?"

"My blood and qi circulation seems to be faster too..."

Qiu Sheng clenched his fist, noticing the same change. "I feel the same way."

He glanced down at the well. "How about I drink a couple more sips and try it?"

The two exchanged a glance, and the next moment, Qiusheng and Wencai bent down at the same time, each scooped up a ladle of well water, and poured it down their throats.

Cool!!!

Both of them shuddered simultaneously, feeling the hairs on their bodies stand on end.

After a while, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai put the water ladle back into the bucket, then lowered their pace and walked around the backyard again, carefully observing the changes in the yard.

But not long after, both of their stomachs started rumbling.

I'm hungry.

"Me too."

"Let's go! Cook and eat! By the time Senior Brother finishes his cultivation, the food will be ready!"

"No problem, let's go!"

With that, the two turned and tiptoed toward the kitchen.

Shortly after Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai left, Lin Xuan also came to his senses.

He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in his pupils.

Feeling the surge of insights about plants and trees in his mind, Lin Xuan revealed a hint of satisfaction.

"This improvement is truly significant!"

After the basic cultivation technique was combined with the Yellow Sprout Technique, not only was the skill quality upgraded to white, but the effect also underwent a tremendous change.

His perception of the surrounding plants and trees was also much clearer than before.

Even without checking the system panel, one can vaguely sense the growth status of each spiritual plant.

If one were to master the art of refining artifacts from plants in the future, the magical artifacts crafted using this affinity and nurturing ability would undoubtedly possess formidable power.

As for the two new effects of the Yellow Sprout Spirit Nurturing Technique, he will try them out later.

However, before that, we need to process the harvested Concentration Grass.

Lin Xuan pulled all seven mature Concentration Grasses out of the soil.

At the top of each Concentration Grass plant grows a cluster of mature spikes.

He carefully cut off the ear of grain, placed it on a bamboo sieve, and gently rubbed it. One by one, the tiny seeds fell out of the ear of grain.

Each of the seven Concentration Grass plants can produce about ten seeds.

However, not every seed can fully inherit the characteristics of the mother plant.

Lin Xuan carefully sensed the plants and trees, and found that the seven seeds produced by the Yellow Sprout Divine Grass were the most spiritually potent.

Each one has a light bluish-gold color and contains a complete yellow bud and the power to calm the spirit.

Secondly, there are thirty-two earth-yellow seeds. These seeds inherit the power of the Earth Element and can be further cultivated into Earth Element Concentration Grass.

The remaining fifty seeds did not inherit any special traits and could only grow into ordinary Concentration Grass.

However, even without special entries, these seeds were influenced by the sacred soil, the meaning of the scriptures, and the quality of the mother plant, and all reached the white quality.

Lin Xuan was not surprised by this.

When plants produce seeds, there is no guarantee that all offspring will fully inherit the traits of the parent plant.

As long as we select, cultivate, and continuously refine them generation after generation, the number of Concentration Grasses with special characteristics will only increase.

Lin Xuan sorted and arranged all the seeds, then mobilized the Dao Qi within his body to perform basic enlightenment on each of the seeds.

Strands of Daoist Qi flowed from his fingertips and merged into the tiny seed, causing the seed's surface to gleam faintly.

As the enlightenment continued, the Dao Qi that had just recovered in Lin Xuan's body rapidly declined.

%.

%.

50%...

By the time all the seeds had been enlightened, ninety percent of the Dao Qi within his body had been consumed.

Lin Xuan's face paled slightly, but he did not regret it.

Spiritual plants can continuously enhance their potential through repeated enlightenment and iteration, because only with a solid foundation can they withstand higher quality magical artifacts and materials in the future.

Moreover, during the transition phase, it is best to use one's own Dao Qi for enlightenment.

Plants cultivated in this way are purer and will not stagnate in their potential due to premature fusion of too many random terms.

Lin Xuan replanted the seeds that had been enlightened back into the flowerpot.

The seeds of Huangyazhen Shencao, Tuyuan Ning Shencao, and ordinary Ning Shencao were planted in different areas to facilitate future observation and selection.

After doing all this, Lin Xuan felt a strong hunger pang in his stomach.

He hasn't eaten a single bite of food since early morning.

I just enlightened nearly a hundred seeds in one go, and my internal energy is almost depleted.

Although it does not directly consume essence and blood, activating the magic points for a long time will still affect the circulation of qi and blood.

Now he is not only depleted of magical power, but his body also urgently needs to replenish his vital energy.

Moreover, he plans to try the [Seedling and Spirit Cultivation] technique later, which requires him to consume his own essence and blood to plant a yellow sprout.

Therefore, it is essential to replenish qi and blood before proceeding.

Lin Xuan remembered the few remaining blood lotus roots in the kitchen, which were just enough to make one last pot of blood lotus root porridge.

So he patted the dirt off his hands, turned around, and walked towards the kitchen.
