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

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and strode forward against the violent air currents.

Uncle Nine's tightly furrowed brows twitched slightly, and he immediately sensed something was wrong. "Ah Xuan, what are you doing?!"

Lin Xuan didn't have time to reply. Under the blinding red and blue light, he rushed to the shaky statue of the Well God and placed his hand on the cracked surface of the stone statue.

A thought flashed through my mind, and the system's notification panel popped up.

[Consume the 'Water Palace Spirit Turtle Elephant' to enhance the 'Black Tortoise Spirit Turtle Vine'?]

Enlightenment!

The instant the thought landed, an irresistible and terrifying suction force suddenly erupted from the palm!

The Dao Qi within Lin Xuan's dantian and dantian instantly surged wildly, like a flood bursting its banks, rushing madly along the meridians to his arm, bursting forth from his palm, and pouring entirely into the Well God statue.

In just one breath, most of the Dao Qi in his body was gone!

The meridians were being violently sucked in, causing excruciating pain like being cut by a knife, as if they were about to shatter inch by inch at any moment.

Lin Xuan's face turned deathly pale in an instant, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and a trickle of bright red blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"Senior Brother!"

"Ah Xuan!"

"Xiao Lin!"

Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, and Mao Shanming behind them suddenly changed their expressions and exclaimed in surprise.

Uncle Nine's pupils shrank sharply; he could clearly see that Lin Xuan was forcibly awakening the spiritual plant!

"This kid's gone mad! The power within that statue is immense; he's risking his life to fill it!"

Maoshan Ming was so anxious that he stomped his feet and wanted to rush forward, but Uncle Jiu grabbed his arm.

"Don't go over there! Your Qi is completely locked now. If any external force intervenes, Ah Xuan will die instantly from severed meridians!"

Uncle Nine's voice trembled as he stared intently at the figures in the arena, his palms drenched in cold sweat.

At this moment, Lin Xuan felt as if all the blood in his body was being drained.

hum!

The seven perfected deities within his body—the Niwan Palace, spleen, kidneys, lungs, and throat—manifested simultaneously, radiating brilliant divine light. The internal energy channels circulated wildly at an unprecedented speed, desperately squeezing out every bit of potential to replenish his Qi.

However, faced with the bottomless pit of the fusion of the blue statue and the blue spiritual plant, this recovery speed is nothing more than a drop in the ocean!

Lin Xuan used his left hand to grab several top-grade pills and stuffed them into his mouth without even looking at them.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and its powerful medicinal energy had barely spread out before it was forcibly drawn away by that domineering suction force, before it could even nourish the meridians!

Lin Xuan was greatly alarmed.

If I keep sucking like this, forget about successfully enlightening myself; I'm afraid I'll really be sucked dry today!

Just when he was about to give up, a sudden change occurred.

Clang, clang, clang!

The remaining bluish-black scales on the surface of the more than twenty Li family corpses on the ground suddenly trembled violently, then fell off and flew up one after another, like ten thousand swords returning to their origin, densely shooting towards the statue of the Well God.

Hundreds of strange scales shattered into dust in mid-air, transforming into a thick, dark blue torrent that poured precisely into the cracks in the statue.

The light on the surface of the statue gained a deep bluish-black hue, and the terrifying suction force emanating from Lin Xuan's palm immediately weakened.

"It works! The energy from external objects can help me with my energy expenditure!"

Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Before he could even make a move, the spoils on the ground seemed to be drawn by something and began to stir.

Splash!

Dozens of water spirit stones, piled up like a small mountain, simultaneously took to the air, along with the magical artifacts and pill bottles looted from the Li family members, all flying into the sky.

Countless spirit stones and magical artifacts shattered in mid-air under the crushing force of the energy, transforming into streams of pure, multicolored energy that continuously flowed into the body of the Well God statue.

The red light on the statue grew even brighter, and the originally hideous cracks seemed to be showing signs of stopping their spread.

Click, click!

Not far away, the two clay figures of Chiwen and Bixi, which had already been drained of their life essence, collapsed again, turning into dust that filled the sky.

The last trace of incense and spiritual soil essence hidden in the clay statue was forcibly stripped away and completely absorbed into the statue, while the remaining mortal soil fell to the ground with a clatter.

In mid-air, the shrunken serpent let out a mournful cry, transforming into a blinding golden-red liquid that poured directly onto the statue's head.

The "Water Vein Map of Dragon King Temple" next to it was shaking like a leaf, with the illusory water veins in the scroll flickering wildly and endless water spirits pouring out recklessly.

"This...this means they ate all the loot our senior brother stole tonight!"

Wen Cai lay on the ground, watching his precious treasures turn to ashes, his heart aching with pain.

"What does it matter if we eat it all! As long as our eldest brother is safe and sound, it's worth it even if we have to fill the entire mortuary!"

Qiu Sheng's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Lin Xuan's swaying back. He clasped his hands together and prayed incessantly, "Grandmaster, please protect me! Senior Brother, please don't let anything happen to you! Please don't let him ruin his foundation for such worldly possessions!"

In the arena, the statue of the Well God, which had devoured a massive amount of resources, shone brightly, and the pressure on Lin Xuan decreased dramatically.

But the sense of crisis in his heart did not dissipate; instead, it rose again.

not enough!

This energy is still far from being fully transformed.

Just then, strange noises came from the storage bag at Lin Xuan's waist and the altar not far away.

Whizzing!

The green lightning-struck wood peach charms nurtured on the altar, as well as the Seven Star Pill Furnace previously seized from the Yellow Heaven Sect, flew through the air on their own and hovered on either side of the statue.

The two magical artifacts trembled violently, and the pure Yang thunder intent and celestial power contained within them were forcibly pulled out, transforming into two streaks of light that crashed into the body of the divine statue!

Lin Xuan's eyelids twitched wildly as he felt the Dao Qi within his body begin to drain away at an accelerated rate again. He dared not hesitate for even a moment.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, so let's go for it!

With a thought, he took out the only two green lightning-type magical artifacts he had left from his backpack.

A lightning-patterned magic seal, and a lightning-struck wooden sword!

The moment these two treasures appeared, they burst forth with dazzling lightning.

Countless violent electric snakes intertwined in mid-air, transforming into a lightning net curtain, which crashed down on the statue of the Well God!

In just a few breaths, the lightning on the seal and the wooden sword dimmed, and the accumulated lightning essence inside was completely drained. With two cracks, they turned into two pieces of charred, withered wood, which fell to the ground with a thud.

The surrounding spiritual energy was still gathering frantically, and the light of the "Dragon King Temple Water Vein Map" in mid-air was getting weaker and weaker, and the scroll was becoming somewhat transparent.

Finally, the wildly surging red and blue light on the surface of the Well God statue began to recede inward.

The surging blood mist continuously collapsed and condensed towards the core of the statue, vaguely transforming into a small, blood-red serpentine phantom that writhed and roamed inside the statue.

However, as all the energy was compressed inward to its extreme, the final push required for the enlightenment instantly multiplied and pressed down on Lin Xuan alone.

puff!

Lin Xuan could no longer suppress his anger. He spat a mouthful of blood onto the statue, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt on one knee.

The Dao Qi within my body has been depleted.

Just as Lin Xuan's vision began to darken and his consciousness was about to fade, the small, surging dragon inside the statue suddenly stopped moving.

It slowly turned its head and looked at Lin Xuan through the stone statue, a hint of human-like spiritual light flashing in its blood-red beast eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the serpent suddenly changed direction and looked at the spirit field beside the pool not far away.

The next second, the serpent opened its mouth wide, and a dark red blood light, condensed to the extreme, shot out from between the gods' eyebrows, hitting the blood lotus with serpent patterns without any deviation.

hum!

Upon receiving this massive infusion of essence blood, the Dragon-Patterned Blood Lotus, which was already on the verge of maturity, instantly shone with a brilliant red light!

Layer upon layer of blood-red petals bloomed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a rich blood aura soared into the sky, revealing the plump crimson lotus seedpod in the center, and the crystal-clear blood-red lotus seeds inside!

The system's notification sounded in Lin Xuan's mind like heavenly music.

Your 'Dragon-Patterned Blood Lotus' is fully mature and ready for harvesting!

Lin Xuan's previously dim eyes suddenly lit up.

This is the spirit of the idol helping me through this difficult time!

Without any hesitation, he mustered his last bit of strength and roared in his mind as he pressed the harvest button.

Harvested one high-quality, green-colored blood lotus.
