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

Lin Xuan frowned, his heart skipped a beat.

Oops!

If this statue is forced in any further, it's likely to shatter on the spot!

Once the statue collapses, all the twenty-odd corpses with strange blood, the green clay figures, and the water-suppressing stones that were thrown in tonight will be wasted!

The expressions of the people next to him also changed.

Wen Cai hunched his shoulders and whispered in Qiu Sheng's ear, "Qiu Sheng, did I just hear the sound of the statue cracking? Could it be... that this precious statue is about to explode?"

Qiu Sheng turned around and glared at him, then lowered his voice and scolded, "Shut your jinxed mouth!"

Even so, Qiu Sheng turned to look at Lin Xuan's tense profile, and his heart instantly jumped into his throat.

This statue of the Well God is the apple of my eye. I treasure it like the back of my hand and have put in so much effort into it.

Tonight, they fed him all the good stuff they had scavenged from the Li family's lair.

If this were to be destroyed, the eldest brother would be heartbroken!

"Senior Brother, how about we think of a way to knock off that great demon's reverse scale?"

Qiu Sheng couldn't help but step forward and urgently made a suggestion.

Lin Xuan kept his eyes fixed on the center of the array and remained silent.

Now that the blood vortex and the reverse scale's energy are completely locked, if we rashly try to interrupt it, the statue will only shatter faster under the backlash of the raging dragon blood!

hum!

Just then, a spirit-gathering jade gourd at Lin Xuan's waist suddenly glowed with a faint light.

The rope fastened to the waist untied itself, and the yellow jade gourd transformed into a stream of light, flying straight into the air and hovering beside the statue of the Well God.

The next second, a thick, blood-red streak shot out from the surface of the violently trembling Well God statue and pierced straight into the mouth of the gourd!

"Hmm!"

A muffled groan came from inside the gourd.

The surging, homologous blood essence poured into it, completely submerging Li Qingshu's soul.

The already solidified soul was gradually cleansed and refined by the domineering blood energy, its impurities peeled away, and the entire soul became as crystal clear as red agate, with its aura rising steadily!

Lin Xuan's brow twitched slightly. "Is this... distributing energy?"

He could see that the Well God statue seemed to have developed a kind of instinct, realizing that its main body could not withstand it, so it took the initiative to share the excess dragon blood with Li Qingshu, who was of the same origin.

"The idol has a spirit; it even knows how to save itself?"

Mao Shanming, who was standing next to him, was dumbfounded and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Lin Xuan's brows remained tightly furrowed, showing no sign of joy.

What if it's shared?

The statue itself has cracked!

A magic weapon that has been damaged at its core, even if it manages to reach the blue quality by sheer luck, will definitely have its power greatly reduced!

I was too greedy; I shouldn't have piled everything out at once!

The thought had just flashed through my mind.

Click!

Another crisp, ear-piercing cracking sound echoed through the night sky!

On the chest of the Well God statue, another crack about an inch wide burst open, and thick blood mist surged wildly out of the crack.

Even so, the statue's energy-devouring momentum did not weaken; instead, it became even more ferocious!

The dragon's reverse scale hanging above his head had visibly shrunk by a circle.

The fine gold patterns on the surface quickly faded, and the panel entries that were originally glowing blue were sliding towards green quality!

"Senior brother, something's not right!"

"That statue is clearly at its limit, so why is it still desperately sucking in?"

"If this continues, once the statue explodes, the surrounding spirit field formation will also be destroyed!"

Mao Shanming could no longer sit still and looked anxiously at Uncle Nine.

Uncle Nine's hands, clasped behind his back, clenched tightly, his expression extremely grave. "The demonic blood resentment within the Reverse Scale is too strong, triggering a vicious cycle in the array patterns inside the statue. It's out of control now! Ah Xuan, prepare to retreat!"

Lin Xuan felt his hands and feet were ice-cold, and his breathing became tight.

Is it really going to be the end of the core idol I've painstakingly nurtured?

Just as he was getting anxious, the statue of the Well God started to move again.

hum!

Another red streak, as thick as a bowl, shot out from between the eyebrows of the statue, crossed the open space, and crashed straight into the pool not far away, disappearing into the body of the Xuan Shui Tortoise Shell Vine!

Whoosh!

The pool water boiled instantly!

The Xuan Shui Tortoise Shell Vine burst forth with a dazzling red light, and the dark blue patterns on the surface of the vine, resembling tortoise shells, gradually lit up. Then, the entire vine expanded and thickened violently as if inflated, spreading wildly along the pool wall!

A line of text then appeared before Lin Xuan's eyes.

[Your 'Mystic Water Tortoise Shell Vine' has undergone a beneficial mutation, nourished by the magical essence of the 'Water Palace Spirit Tortoise Elephant' and the pure blood of a dragon, resulting in a quality upgrade to blue and a new name: 'Mystic Tortoise Spirit Vine'!]

Lin Xuan's eyelids twitched suddenly.

blue?!

This exotic mountain tortoise, which I originally acquired from Tan Baiwan, I have never even used Dao Qi to enlighten it!

Thanks to the daily nourishment from the water vapor of the Well God statue, it has now broken through its grade twice in a row, directly advancing to become a blue spiritual plant?!

Good heavens, this spiritual plant has an incredibly strong foundation!

However, the slight surprise in her heart hadn't even had time to dissipate.

call--!

The dense water elemental energy surrounding the spirit field seemed to be summoned by something, transforming into rolling white waves that rushed madly towards the statue of the Well God!

Immediately afterwards, the "Dragon King Temple Water Vein Map," which had been submerged at the bottom of the pond to suppress the water veins, also broke through the water on its own!

The scroll unfurled in mid-air and flew to the other side of the Well God statue.

Endless pure water vapor surged out from the illusory water veins within the scroll, and together with the remaining dragon blood in mid-air, it suddenly crashed into the body of the Well God statue!

Click, click, click.

The continuous cracking sounds were so intense that they sent chills down one's spine!

The surface of the Well God statue was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and red and blue light darted wildly through the cracks. The entire statue was on the verge of complete disintegration and collapse!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Uncle Nine's expression changed drastically. He grabbed Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai beside him and shouted sternly.

"Master! Senior Brother is still ahead!"

Qiu Sheng shouted anxiously, trying to pull the person away, but the violent shockwave forced him to keep his eyes closed.

Wen Cai was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, covering his head with his hands, "It's all over, it's all going to explode!"

Lin Xuan clenched his fists tightly, his palms already soaked with cold sweat.

He finally understood completely.

The Well God statue has an extremely high potential value, but the jade carving material that can support it is too poor!

You can't get fat in one bite. Ordinary stones simply can't withstand the terrifying spiritual energy required to break through to the blue or even higher grade!

With the serpent's reverse scale already destroyed, and the water vein diagram and the statue about to perish together...

No!

I only have a few blue-quality treasures in my possession. If they all go to waste here today, I'll have nowhere to cry!

In a flash, Lin Xuan's gaze swept across the entire area, finally locking onto the Xuanwu Spirit Turtle Vine in the pond that had just advanced to blue.

The stone statue couldn't withstand the strain, but the living blue spiritual plant could!

Since this tortoise vine has such terrifying potential, why not take advantage of the fact that the statue hasn't completely exploded yet and use the Well God statue as a sacrifice to forcibly transform the Xuanwu Spirit Tortoise Vine!

In this way, the divine intent of the statue and all the absorbed energy can be perfectly transferred, without any waste!

But......

Enchanting blue spiritual plants consumes blue-quality Well God statues!

Can the limited amount of late-stage mage-level Dao Qi within my body truly withstand such terrifying consumption?

The thought flashed through his mind, and looking at the crumbling statue, a ruthless glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

Never mind, I have to give it a try!
