Immortal Mystery Sequence: I Establish a Divine Duty for Heaven and Earth

In the quiet room, green light flickered and spiritual light emanated.

Forty-two green-skinned bean soldiers appeared, arranged at varying heights and each with its own unique posture.

Several of them were burly and strong, clearly suited for fighting and charging into battle; they were veritable warriors among beans, fighting beans...

Several of them were thin, but their bodies were covered in green light, and their bodies were filled with the spiritual energy of agriculture. They seemed to be able to use minor agricultural techniques, such as earth-moving techniques and earth-遁 (earth-escaping techniques), and could be called genius beans with extraordinary talent among beans...

Some beans, though short and stocky, are naturally close to crops and celestial phenomena. They can sense celestial phenomena and cultivate good crop varieties, making them the most skilled and experienced farmer beans among beans.

Besides these, most of them are just ordinary-looking bean soldiers who are only physically strong and obedient and have no special abilities. They are probably destined to be cannon fodder!

Jiang Tu circled around them a few times, pinching one here and patting the other, becoming more and more satisfied with what he saw.

The thirty-two aged soybeans left by Luo Jin were of high age and had been nurtured for a long time, so they had a good foundation. The batch of new soybeans that he had nurtured in recent years were younger, but they were more diverse in variety and had their own characteristics. They were all the result of selecting the best of the best from good varieties, and their future was promising.

After a long period of cultivation and nurturing, it will surely be of great use in the future!

"Where are the bean soldiers?"

At his command, the bean soldiers stood at attention in unison, moving in perfect unison. They couldn't speak, but they were just like the lackeys who shouted "Tang Yan!" around the county magistrate.

"Good, you're all very obedient. From today onwards, you're all officially employed and are my soldiers! Follow my orders from now on."

The bean soldiers nodded in unison.

Jiang Tu was satisfied. He could sense that at the seventh rank, forty-two bean soldiers were far from his limit. The upper limit of scattering beans to form soldiers was directly linked to his own cultivation level and the age of the beans. He roughly estimated that with his current cultivation level, the limit he could scatter was over a hundred refined aged beans at once. If he reached the seventh rank perfection in the future, he could scatter even more.

At that time, with a wave of the hand, the whole mountainside will be filled with our own people!

The thought of that scene is delightful.

In the evolution, when Luo Jin first obtained the ability to scatter beans to form soldiers, he could do it once a day for two incense sticks. Now, because the beans he has collected are older and the duration is longer, and because of the blessing of the Dao foundation "farmer's bone", the longest duration can even be maintained for two hours at a time, which can be of great use!

He walked to the table and released a sliver of the aura of the sequence gold strategy.

In no time at all.

Swish swish--!

Simultaneously, a surge of green light erupted from the quiet room, and several insect spirits crawled in from the ground, wall cracks, and outside the window. Then dozens, hundreds, and they piled up together in dense clusters!

Green light flickered throughout the completely silent room, and more and more insect spirits continued to emerge!

In recent years, as agricultural roads have blossomed all over Jiangzhou and their total number has exceeded 10,000, insect spirits have also been born in all over the country, with a number of more than 10,000.

Each one would be attracted by the aura of the Sequence Gold Strategy and intercepted by him. Of course, he couldn't possibly read every single message. That wouldn't be intercepting the insect spirit's information; it would be working for the insect spirit!

Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

So he could only keep his microphone muted and occasionally turn it on to check intelligence. Even so, he was still overwhelmed and stressed every time. Too much intelligence was missed and difficult to receive. He had no choice but to give up.

Things are different now, he has someone to use now!

Swish swish!

The quiet room immediately became busy. The soldiers divided up the work of intelligence gathering, classification and screening, and core intelligence extraction. Only intelligence that had undergone at least three rounds of sorting, screening and extraction would be put on his desk.

Efficiency is greatly improved!

In the long run, this insect spirit intelligence production line can be further expanded, even operating in three shifts to continuously receive intelligence. Sooner or later, he will become the person in the world who possesses the most intelligence and secrets!

He moved through this intelligence assembly line, occasionally offering his comments—

"Faster! Faster!"

"Yes, it's you. Stop dawdling! What kind of nonsense is this? If you don't do it, there are plenty of other people to do it!"

"If you don't work hard today, how can you expect a good life tomorrow? A good life is something you create yourself, okay?!"

Helping him with chores not only broadens his experience and increases his seniority, but most importantly, he is completely obedient and hardworking. Is there a better tool than this?

It's so much!

Swish swish!

Inside the quiet room, the bean soldiers continued to accelerate, so fast that they left afterimages.

The insect spirits rose and fell, settling in all directions, and a great deal of important information and intelligence gathered together.

After a while.

Swish!

Jiang Tu instantly concealed all of Jin Ce's aura, isolating himself from the insect spirits coming and going from all directions—

After the bean soldiers dispersed, they flew into the bag and were collected.

A thick stack of intelligence had already piled up in front of Jiang Tu. He didn't rush to look at it, but instead raised his hand to summon the insect spirit that had been left alone.

The insect spirit was twice the size of its kind, its entire body gleaming with a deep green luster. When it landed, there was almost no ripple. Not only could outsiders not see it, but even a cultivator like him, who practiced the agricultural path, could not detect its existence without careful perception.

Clearly, its insect spirit has evolved, with faster communication efficiency, wider range, and stronger concealment compared to the past. It is almost invisible to the naked eye, and even a skilled cultivator of the Agricultural Dao cannot detect it without careful observation. It is becoming increasingly concealed.

"So... Insect spirits can evolve too? And they can continuously improve as the agricultural development of a region progresses? Interesting!"

In the future, his insect spirit intelligence network will only become more and more covert, so he doesn't have to worry about being discovered by anyone. He can even extract the most secretive and least detectable insect spirits that have completed their evolution to receive intelligence, while other ordinary insect spirits are isolated from receiving messages.

He picked up the letter delivered by the Great Insect Spirit and saw that it was sent by Wang Congyun to Qingshan Lake.

The letter was short, but contained only one key piece of information: a major anomaly had recently occurred in the forbidden area of ​​Jiaosha!

All eyes of the Taoist sects outside the region are now focused here. In the near future, more Taoist masters and high-ranking officials will arrive here, which will further reduce the influence of the Taoist sects in the Jiangzhou area and cause their attention to the surrounding areas to drop sharply. The area around Qingshan Lake will be safer, and if necessary for development, it is possible to try to expand into the surrounding areas.

However, at the end of his letter, Wang Congyun still advised that the development of Qingshan Lake should prioritize stability, avoid rash moves, and act only when the opportunity arises; if there is no opportunity, it is better to remain still.

Since the two True Immortals descended the mountain, Wang Congyun has stopped sending agricultural cultivators to Qingshan Lake and has even cut off the insect spirit intelligence line. Now that intelligence has suddenly come out, it seems that the Daoist sect's plans in the Jiaosha Forbidden Land are really important!

It's incredible that it could make the Taoist sect completely immersed in it!

Jiang Tu sat behind his desk and gathered up the intelligence that Dou Bing had sorted out and filtered. He examined it one by one and was then taken aback.

Of the seventy-four intelligence reports, a full fifty-three pointed to the Horned Sand Forbidden Land. It was said that a magnificent ancient sword, thousands of feet long, had appeared in the sky above the Horned Sand Forbidden Land, causing a great shock!

Through this intelligence analysis, he also roughly confirmed one thing...

The Taoist sect's continued digging in the forbidden area of ​​Jiaosha must be for an extremely powerful inheritance. Could it be a profound and unfathomable swordsmanship inheritance?

He knew that the Jiaosha Forbidden Land was an ancient forbidden land with a history of ten thousand years, containing enormous wealth from the Daoist sects of ten thousand years ago. This would most likely be the most important thing for the Daoist sects to plan around the Jiaosha Forbidden Land today!

"It's connected! All the previously scattered clues have been pieced together... The Daoist sect is going to such lengths for the sake of its legacy!"

Bang bang bang.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Tu got up and opened the door; Zhou Ning'e was standing outside.

"Ning'e? What's wrong?"

"Husband, you said before that your retainers were secretly monitoring our family... Are they still there?"

"Yes, but my lady, you don't need to worry too much. They won't see anything unusual, and as time goes by, their surveillance will become increasingly lax. I estimate they'll completely forget about it in a few years..."

The Taoist disciples recently sent to monitor the Jiang family are all newly initiated disciples who have just received their first Taoist teachings, some of whom are even just outer disciples. Jiang Tu has far too many ways to silently block their detection.

"That's good..."

"My lady, you've come so late at night; there must be more to it than just this one thing, right?"

"...Yes, I...have just experienced some strange changes...I was a little worried that I might be noticed by someone who is watching me, so I came to bother you, my husband."

"A strange change? What's going on?"

Jiang Tu became serious and pulled Ning E into the quiet room.

"Tell me more about it."

Zhou Ning'e recounted to him everything clearly: the fleeting glimpse she had taken of the ancient, dreamlike landscape, and the resounding clang of swords in her ears.

Jiang Tu's expression froze for a moment.

A sword's cry?!

Just as the ancient sword aura of a thousand feet long manifested in the forbidden area of ​​Jiaosha, the lady heard the sound of a sword.

Something's not right! This is really not right!

Could it be that the lady has some connection to the ancient heritage of that forbidden land of the Sand Corner...?

He carefully examined his wife from head to toe, repeatedly confirming with his own senses, but found not even a trace of Taoist remnants on her. Jin Ce also showed no sign of alertness, indicating that there was no danger that could threaten him.

Since even the sequence of gold strategies didn't trigger the alert, the sound of the sword's cry naturally wouldn't be noticed by those monitoring from the outside.

He became increasingly puzzled. Could it be that his wife was exceptionally gifted and had been chosen by the ancient forbidden land, which was suspected to be the legacy of a ten-thousand-year-old Daoist sect, to become a Daoist child?

Is he a person destined by fate?

That's not right!

My lady doesn't have the aptitude for Taoism, so she can't cultivate! Could it be that my lady is an unparalleled sword cultivation prodigy?!

That doesn't make sense!

No matter how I think about it, it doesn't make sense!

However... no matter what kind of Taoist lineage has taken a liking to Ning E, it would be best for Ning E to cultivate the agricultural path with him. Now that the Buddhist and Taoist lineages have both undergone changes after the collapse of the heavens, they are not safe!

Farm roads are the best choice!

Having racked his brains without finding a solution, he solemnly instructed, "Ning'e, disregard the ancient aura and the clanging of swords. From this day forward, stay far away from the Daoist sect and avoid contact with any Daoist masters... Do not let them get close to you!"

Zhou Ning'e was momentarily stunned: "Husband... could that illusory sound be related to the Taoist sect?"

"It's possible, this matter is definitely not that simple! My wife, please be careful. Starting tomorrow, you will stay by my side and learn the Dao! I... I will teach you more about agricultural knowledge, striving to help you enter the Dao as soon as possible. So many people can easily awaken their innate wisdom through agricultural studies, my wife can definitely do it too!"

He's trying to steal people from the Taoist lineage!

Regardless of the ancient forbidden land that hides a ten-thousand-year-old heritage, or why it has inexplicably targeted Ning'e, he must complete the transmission of the Dao before she does. Once Ning'e enters the Daoist path, because of the principle that "Dao cannot coexist," Ning'e will no longer be able to have any connection with the Daoist sect!

"My husband... the awakening of the agricultural path is a matter of my fortune if I attain it, and my fate if I lose it. There is no need for you to force it... I am already content to have you in this life. Even if I do not attain enlightenment, my life will not have been in vain..."

"My lady, there's no need for further words. Just follow me and study diligently. I'll entrust the cosmetics business entirely to Old Zhou's shop! From now on, you'll stay by my side and learn the Dao at all times!"

Zhou Ning'e was both amused and exasperated by Jiang Tu's arrangement, but she still responded repeatedly.

She was overjoyed and more than happy that her husband was willing to share his teachings with her.

"Yes... my husband, I will do whatever you say..."
