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

Mao Shanming, standing beside him, was also frozen in place, his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the azure arc of electricity leaping on Lin Xuan's left fist.

Thunder magic is the foremost of all Taoist techniques, and also the most difficult to cultivate.

For ordinary cultivators to master this skill, they usually have to wait until they are formally ordained and granted a celestial official position in the Heavenly Court before they can comprehend even a fraction of it through the power of Heaven.

Even if one manages to master it by chance, each time one uses it, one must first set up an altar and perform a ritual, supplemented by thunder talismans and hand seals, to condense lightning outside the body with external force.

Such a method as Lin Xuan's, which involves drawing upon the essence of thunder directly from within his body without relying on external objects, is extremely rare!

Looking across all his peers in Maoshan, apart from their eldest brother Shi Jian, Maoshan Ming has never seen anyone else who has achieved this level of cultivation at this age.

Seeing the ceaseless flashes of lightning on Lin Xuan's forearm, Mao Shanming's heart pounded wildly.

My junior nephew not only crossed two minor realms in one night, but his cultivation and physique also increased dramatically. He even comprehended the Supreme Thunder Technique without a teacher!

This terrifying speed of cultivation is absolutely outrageous, utterly outrageous!

At the entrance of the mortuary, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai stared wide-eyed at the sparks flying from Lin Xuan's fist, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit their own fists.

Wen Cai raised his hand and rubbed his eyes hard, blinking several times. His voice trembled as he mumbled, "Qiu...Qiu Sheng, should I take my eyes to a doctor? Why did I see lightning flashing on Senior Brother's fist?"

Qiu Sheng spat twice into his palm, wiped his eyes haphazardly, and then looked over.

When he saw the crackling blue lightning between Lin Xuan's fingers, he couldn't help but swallow hard and exclaimed, "No! You're not seeing things, Senior Brother's hands are really crackling with electricity! Good heavens! Senior Brother has mastered the legendary lightning technique!"

Wen Cai smacked his lips twice, exclaiming incredulously, "Good heavens! Senior Brother can master lightning magic just by planting crops in the courtyard? That's outrageous!"

Qiu Sheng rolled his eyes, crossed his arms, and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "Look at you, so naive. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss? This is our senior brother, a man who specializes in creating miracles!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Sheng stared at the dazzling lightning, his eyes darting around, and he clicked his tongue with envy. "But seriously, that lightning technique is really cool! If I could learn that move, I could stand on the street and definitely charm all the girls in town!"

Uncle Nine stood there for several breaths before finally coming to his senses.

He looked at his right hand, which was still slightly numb, and instead of feeling embarrassed at being defeated by his apprentice, he threw his head back and laughed heartily.

"Excellent! Excellent! Ah Xuan, you are truly a once-in-a-century genius! No, a genius among geniuses!"

"To wield the power of thunder at such a young age, and with such overwhelming force, coupled with your profound cultivation, any evil cultivator of the same level would likely be annihilated in a single encounter!"

Uncle Nine's face was flushed.

But then, as if remembering something, Uncle Nine spoke again.

"With your current strength, Ah Xuan, even if you faced a late-stage Grand Master evil cultivator, as long as the opponent didn't have a particularly powerful protective magic weapon or a desperate secret technique, you would definitely be able to overwhelm them!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan dispelled the lightning on his fist and nodded in deep agreement.

Master's evaluation is by no means an exaggeration!

Thanks to the immense feedback from the True Martial Mystic Armor Vine, his overall strength has undergone a transformative and explosive increase.

If he could prepare high-level talismans in advance, use the God Transformation and Summoning Technique, and forge two handy top-level magic weapons, he would be fully confident in killing a late-stage Grand Mage evil cultivator on the spot!

Uncle Nine sheathed his sword, stepped forward to Lin Xuan, and casually asked, "Ah Xuan, besides the swordsmanship, movement techniques, and lightning magic, did you gain anything else from enlightening that strange vine this time?"

Although he asked that question, Uncle Nine didn't actually have high hopes.

After all, one shouldn't bite off more than one can chew. What his precious disciple had comprehended in just one night was already astonishing enough, equivalent to more than ten years of hard work for others.

This is also the largest leap in strength that Lin Xuan has ever shown since he began cultivating spiritual plants.

If we gain even more, it would mean leaving no way for others to survive.

Upon hearing Uncle Nine's question, Mao Shanming, along with Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai who had come over, all pricked up their ears and looked at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan pondered the vast inheritance in his mind for a moment, then answered truthfully.

"Master, in addition to these three things, I have also learned about talismanic arts for warding off evil spirits and protecting the home, rainmaking techniques, and the ability to summon generals. I have also dabbled in the methods of refining artifacts in the Water Palace... In short, I have indeed learned a great deal this time."

Upon hearing this, the night breeze outside the courtyard gate seemed to freeze for a moment.

Uncle Nine, Maoshan Ming, and their two junior brothers all felt their hearts leap at the same time, and their eyes twitched uncontrollably twice.

Qiu Sheng's mouth dropped open, and after a long pause, he managed to stammer, "This...this is too monstrous! No wonder he's the senior brother; even what he's been taught is enough for others to study for a lifetime!"

Mao Shanming took a deep breath, shook his head with a wry smile, and exclaimed sincerely, "Ah Xuan, you are absolutely the most monstrously talented person I've ever seen in my life, without a doubt!"

Uncle Nine suppressed his shock, put his hands behind his back, and was secretly overjoyed.

Hehe, look!

This is the disciple I, Lin Jiu, have taught. He has truly made his master proud!

I must practice my handwriting by writing letters, and show off my skills to Simu and Qianhe for three days!

The group chatted with Lin Xuan for a few more minutes, then turned around and returned to the spirit field in the backyard.

Upon entering the spirit field, Lin Xuan released his divine sense and surveyed the surroundings.

Nourished by the profound essence of the heavens, the growth of various spiritual plants in the field has significantly improved, with full leaves and abundant spiritual energy.

The thirty-odd soldiers guarding the fields were all obediently staying inside the Myriad Souls Spiritual Vine, seizing the time to cultivate diligently.

Lin Xuan's mind stirred slightly as he carefully sensed the energy within the bone vine, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

After being cleansed by the essence of the divine statue and baptized by the profound charm of the Great Dao, Li Qingshu's soul aura is several times stronger than before, and his current cultivation level has reached the perfection of the Mage realm!

Now that the opponent is stronger, the range of their reverse perception is also greater!

Next, I can go out with Uncle Jiu to find the Li family's stronghold and wipe them out!

The thought flashed through Lin Xuan's mind. He withdrew his divine sense and turned to look at Xiao Jin and Yuan Bao at the edge of the pond.

Yuanbao is not a water-attribute spirit beast, and the fortune it just experienced had a limited impact on it, only making its aura slightly stronger.

But Xiao Jin, standing to the side, underwent a tremendous transformation!

The demonic aura emanating from his body became increasingly refined and powerful, and the golden patterns on his back not only became thicker but also brighter!

Lin Xuan glanced at the panel and found that the green light attached to Xiao Jin's name was much stronger than before. Perhaps after a few more nourishments, it could advance to the next level!

He nodded in satisfaction, then finally fixed his gaze on the enormous plant in the center of the pond.

At this moment, the True Martial Mystic Armor Vine has stabilized. Its raised snake head is breathing in and out the surrounding water vapor, while the black jade tortoise shell continues to release faint Daoist mystic energy, silently nourishing the entire spiritual field.

By the moonlight, Lin Xuan suddenly noticed that dozens of tiny scales were quietly floating on the water around the True Martial Armor Vine.

The scales were bluish-black, covered with mysterious dark red lines, and a faint mist of water vapor swirled around them.

Lin Xuan's heart stirred, and he stepped forward to examine it intently. The system panel then appeared before his eyes.

【Jiaoshe Scale Armor】

[Quality: Blue]

[Description: This is a companion spiritual material that sheds from the True Martial Mystic Armor Vine, nurtured by the interaction of water and fire. It contains pure Bing Fire and Mystic Water power, making it an excellent material for crafting protective magical artifacts and refining puppets.]

[Entries: Inner Vital Energy, Naturally Formed Mysterious Armor, True Essence of Bing Fire]

......

Looking at the three neatly arranged four-character traits on the panel, and the faint purple hue emanating from the item name's suffix, a bright smile immediately appeared on Lin Xuan's face.

This is a top-grade spiritual material that is almost purple in quality!

Whether it's used to forge protective robes or incorporated as a core material into the Bean Soldier and Grass Horse Technique, the resulting divine weapon will be incredibly powerful.

Moreover, as the True Martial Mystic Armor Vine continues to absorb incense and spiritual energy to evolve, the quality of its shed scales and shells will definitely continue to rise, and perhaps one day it will directly produce true purple divine materials!
