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

Time flies like an arrow.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five days, Lin Xuan hardly left the mortuary.

Every morning after getting up, I first water and prune the plants in the backyard, and check the growth status of each plant.

After that, he would practice the "Blood Lotus Horizontal Training Technique" or recite the "Yellow Court Classic" with Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.

In his spare time, he also had to process the harvested Earth Spirit Concentration Grass and try to make Concentration Incense according to the recipe in his mind.

Although life is busy, it is very fulfilling.

On the morning of the third day, Ren Fa brought Ren Tingting to the mortuary.

Several servants from the Ren family who were traveling with them carefully carried out an urn filled with soil containing ashes.

The jar contained Ren Weiyong's remains.

Having been corrupted by the spell of curses, Ren Weiyong's flesh and bones had long since turned to mud, making it impossible to re-encoffin him in a normal manner.

Uncle Jiu could only carefully collect the remaining soil, put it into an urn, and then have the Ren family enshrine it in the ancestral hall.

Ren Fa learned that the evil energy in his father's remains had been completely removed, and he thanked Uncle Jiu and Lin Xuan repeatedly.

Before leaving, he took out a newly revised land deed.

Lin Xuan took it and glanced at it, his expression shifting slightly.

The land originally agreed upon, plus the three mu owned by the charitable estate, should only amount to eight mu in total.

But the land deed says it's ten mu!

In addition to the five mu that he had previously purchased, Ren Fa also allocated two adjacent mu of wasteland to the charitable estate.

"Master Lin, these two acres of land are a small token of the Ren family's appreciation."

"If it weren't for Uncle Jiu and you intervening this time, my father's remains would have been desecrated in who knows how much worse."

Ren Fa was adamant, and Lin Xuan declined a couple of times, but seeing his insistence, he finally accepted the land deed.

The land surrounding the mortuary was increased from eight mu to ten mu.

Seeing that the spiritual plants in the backyard were about to mature, Lin Xuan took the opportunity to ask Ren Fa to help recruit some workers to cultivate the surrounding wasteland in advance.

The pool, in particular, must be dug as soon as possible!

Lin Xuan had already selected a location on the newly purchased land by using his own Dao Qi and the connection between the water vein map of the Dragon King Temple.

The area was rich in underground moisture and was faintly connected to the water vein where the mortuary well was located, making it the most suitable place to dig a water pool.

In the past two days, Ren Fa has sent a group of long-term workers.

The sound of shovels digging could be heard continuously outside the courtyard wall. A large area of ​​the originally overgrown wasteland had been cleared, and the general outline of the pond had been dug out.

Once the pond is completely dug and well water and the energy of the water veins are introduced, Lin Xuan will be able to transplant the crowded aquatic plants from the backyard.

In those five days, he also made considerable progress.

With the assistance of the "Yellow Sprout Spirit Nurturing Technique," the efficiency of chanting scriptures is greatly improved.

With the added feedback from the Water Spirit Flower and the many spiritual plants in the backyard, the proficiency level of the "Huang Ting Jing" increased by more than two hundred points.

The Yellow Court Classic

[Quality: White]

[Level: Lv3]

[Proficiency: 845/1000]

The distance has increased again, leaving only 155 proficiency points.

At the current rate of cultivation, it won't be long before I break through.

As his understanding of the Huangting Jing deepened, Lin Xuan's mental state also became more solid.

What was originally just a blurry, human-shaped silhouette has now become clearer in terms of facial features and body outline.

Although there is still a distance to go before complete manifestation and perfection, the progress is very obvious.

The Blood Lotus Horizontal Training Technique has also been upgraded to Lv4.

After several days of training, Lin Xuan's muscles became more robust than before, but he did not appear bulky.

With broad shoulders and back, a firm waist and abdomen, and well-proportioned and muscular lines, he exudes a powerful energy in every gesture.

In addition to cultivation and planting, a newly built chicken coop has appeared in the front yard of the mortuary.

There are more than 20 chickens in the coop, including two breeding chickens and the remaining 20 are all hens.

Lin Xuan bought these chickens specifically from the town.

The reason for raising chickens is that a new batch of glutinous rice from Yizhuang is about to ripen.

After the glutinous rice is harvested, the broken rice, rice husks, and insects from the fields can all be used to feed the chickens.

On the other hand, rooster blood is a material frequently used in drawing talismans and warding off evil spirits.

As the flock of chickens grew, the charitable organization no longer needed to buy chickens from outside for each ritual.

Moreover, the method of planting buds in the "Yellow Sprout Nurturing Technique" requires Lin Xuan's own essence and blood to be consumed.

The recovery of essence and blood is very slow. Eating more chicken, although it cannot directly replenish the lost essence and blood, can replenish qi and blood, allowing the body to recover faster.

......

After five days of chanting and nurturing, the plants in the backyard are growing very well.

Especially water-attribute spiritual plants!

The Water Palace Turtle statue and the Dragon King Temple water vein map gather water spiritual energy, and their growth rate is significantly higher than that of other spiritual plants.

Among them, the Water Soul Flower and the Water Vein Spirit Grass have fully matured.

Lin Xuan did not harvest the mature plants directly, but instead collected the seeds they produced first.

Only two of the Water Spirit Flowers successfully produced seeds, yielding a total of 35 seeds.

After careful sensing, Lin Xuan found that 17 of them had completely inherited the essence of the Water Soul Flower.

These seeds contain a faint aura of nourishing the soul and purifying the mind, and can continue to grow into new Water Soul Flowers in the future.

The remaining seeds showed varying degrees of degeneration and could only be cultivated into ordinary water spirit grass.

However, even without its complete magical essence, the Water Soul Grass is still a rare white-quality spiritual plant.

Lin Xuan then used his own Dao Qi to transform all the seeds one by one, and then planted them all into a new water vat.

The Water Vein Spirit Herb produces even more seeds!

After maturing, it produced a total of 124 seeds, of which 78 inherited the complete essence of the water vein.

The remaining seeds degenerate into ordinary aquatic plants, retaining only a faint aquatic spirituality.

Lin Xuan also used his own Dao Qi to complete the transformation, planting them into another large water vat.

As for the two mature mother plants, Lin Xuan did not uproot them.

When the Water Spirit Flower blooms, it can clear the mind and help those nearby understand the scriptures.

Water Vein Spirit Herb can continuously gather the surrounding water spirit energy and improve the aquatic environment.

Even if they are mature, they can still be useful as long as you continue to care for them.

Besides the two mature aquatic plants, Dendrobium nobile is only three percent away from reaching maturity.

At the current rate, it will be fully ripe in a few days at most.

This Dendrobium plant contains the formula for nourishing the meridians.

Once it matures, the spiritual liquid will be of great help to both myself and Qiu Shengwencai!

In contrast, the growth rate of the Moonlit Lotus remains extremely slow.

After five days of cultivation, its growth rate barely reached 2%...

Among all the spiritual plants in the backyard, it was almost at the bottom.

However, given that Moonlit Lotus is of blue quality, its slow growth is to be expected.

Lin Xuan also used the "Yellow Sprout Nurturing Technique" to plant a yellow sprout inside Yue Mianlian's body.

This time, however, he used only a drop of his essence blood.

It wasn't that Lin Xuan was unwilling to invest more, but rather that essence blood is different from ordinary qi and blood; each drop requires a considerable amount of time to recover.

Moreover, once the yellow sprouts are planted, they are not static.

You can continue to infuse it with essence and Qi to gradually strengthen it; there's no need to invest too much at the beginning.
