"Ling 'e, what has your Senior Brother been doing recently? I couldn't even find him in the Pill Chamber. "
"Uncle, I don't know either. Senior Brother recently leveled a piece of land at the back of the mountain. He would go there every few days. He seems to be studying mystical abilities."
"Hmm …"
Jiujiu put her hands on her waist and puffed out her chest.
She pondered for a while and said, "Ling 'e, although it sounds intimate, can you call me Jiu?
'Uncle' is a little too much. Am I very manly!?! "
Ling 'e lowered her head and looked at the sin in the world beside her. She sighed softly and said, "Aunt-Master, do you have no wine to drink?"
"Hehe." Jiujiu smiled embarrassedly. "I've been in seclusion recently, so I'm short of wine.
I just wanted to see if your Senior Brother has any work that he needs help with recently …
Is he short of manpower? "
"Aunt-Master, you've already helped our Xiao Qiong Mount a lot." Ling 'e pursed her lips and chuckled. She took out a treasure pouch and said, "Senior Brother has already instructed me to prepare it for you."
"Then why didn't you take it out earlier!?!"
Jiujiu immediately perked up and snatched the treasure pouch. She looked at the "stock" in the treasure pouch and laughed heartily.
She perfectly portrayed the subtle mentality before and after borrowing money from someone.
"How can there be no food when there's wine? Let's go and see which spiritual beast is sick! "
"Lingli said yesterday that we can eat a few Irrigation Birds. Let's roast two today. We still have to send two to the elders of the Hundred Mortal Hall."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go."
A moment later …
"Whoa, this one is not bad. It's fat but not greasy. I'll take it!"
Hence, an alluring fragrance wafted from the Xiao Qiong Mount.
Considering the emotions of the spiritual beasts, Xiong Lingli, Ling 'e, and Jiujiu went to the forest in the distance and set up the iron pot and grill.
After a bout of laughter and food, they were full.
The three of them cleaned up the 'cooking utensils' in this place. Xiong Lingli picked up her small hammer and went to do her daily task — patrolling in the mountains.
Jiujiu smiled and said, "Lingli, this is inside the sect. There's a mountain-protecting array outside. No one will sneak up to the peak."
"I can't!"
Xiong Lingli answered seriously,
"There are so many spirit beasts and spirit herbs on the mountain. If we don't look after them, what if someone steals them?
Cousin didn't get these things for free. Cousin taught me cultivation and gave me so many things to eat, so I definitely didn't dare to be lazy.
Moreover, not counting these, I must complete all the things that Cousin Brother instructed me to do! "
Ling'e smiled softly and said, "Thank you, Shishu."
"Hehe, if you guys are short on people for Fighting The Great God, just wait until I'm done."
Xiong Lingli blushed and waved her hand. She carried the Numinous Treasure hammer that Immortal Yun Zhongzi had personally refined and strode towards the mountain.
As she walked a little further, she was even humming a tune that she had made up herself.
"Cousin asked me to patrol the mountain. After searching the left side, I'll search the right side.
If anyone dares to steal the bird eggs, I'll smash him into pieces with one punch. "
The forest immediately sounded with the sounds of birds chirping, beasts roaring, and bears roaring.
Ling'e praised softly, "Aunt-Master Xiong is completely obedient to Senior Brother."
"Yes." Jiu Jiu wiped her mouth. Her pretty face was filled with guilt.
She had some conscience. She pondered for a while and said, "We can't just eat for free. Let's go and see what your Senior Brother is doing."
Ling'e hurriedly said, "It's fine, Aunt-Master. Senior Brother doesn't like to be disturbed."
"How can this be a disturbance?" Jiujiu snorted and said, "My cultivation level is now at the late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm. I'm about to become a Heaven Immortal.
I'm a Quasi-Heaven Immortal in the sect. I want to do some work for you, but you're actually not willing! "
Ling'e blinked. Just as she was about to continue persuading her, she heard her senior brother's voice transmission.
"Then." Ling'e smiled and said, "Let's go to the back mountain together. Senior Brother happens to be short of manpower."
Jiujiu smiled in satisfaction. She rode a cloud and brought Ling'e to the back of the mountain. It was unknown when the isolation array had been built.
After entering the array, Jiujiu and Ling'e saw dozens of circular straw huts that were about 100 feet in diameter.
There were all kinds of immortal herbs growing under the straw huts. They seemed to be of the same type, but when they looked closely, they were slightly different.
"Great Spirit Gathering Array?"
Jiujiu's round eyes widened as she looked at the spiritual light that was constantly flowing under the straw huts.
Although she did not know much about array formations, she recognized that kind of array formation.
With her experience of more than a thousand years, she could naturally tell that the plants there were not precious spiritual herbs, but some ordinary immortal herbs and spiritual herbs.
However, there was a huge Spirit Gathering Array underground. It attracted the clear Qi of the sky and gathered the spiritual energy of the earth. It was used to nurture those "weeds".
"What is going on?"
"There's a sign here …"
It was also Ling'e's first time here. She said softly. As her immortal dress fluttered, she landed in front of the wooden sign at the edge of the Spirit Gathering Array.
"Xiao Qiong Mount Immortal Bean Plantation (approved by the Bai Fan Hall)"
At that moment, Li Changshou rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the straw hut in the distance. His long robe was covered in mud, but there was a smile on his lips.
"Come over here. I'll show you something good."
Ling'e and Jiujiu did not know what was going on. They gathered over curiously …
…
With the experience of the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts and the technical support of the incarnation mystical ability that the Great Daoist Master had given him, the improvement plan of the bean soldiers mystical ability went very smoothly.
In the beginning, Li Changshou did not have high requirements for the soldiers made from beans. He only thought that it would be enough for them to have the combat power of the Essence Immortal realm.
However, Li Changshou did not expect that in the process of improving it, he would constantly have inspiration …
In just over a month, he had cultivated, hybridized, and matured several types of "Primordial Immortal Beans". He had tried different combinations of casting incantations and hand seals, as well as integrated the profound incarnation technique …
He had already created the Three Bean Soldiers and the Twelve Bean Soldiers!
For now, those types were enough. The next research direction was to increase the individual strength of the Dao soldiers.
After that, he would deduce some thousand-man battle formations and ten-thousand-man battle techniques so that the Dao soldiers could truly unleash their combat power.
He had to take it one step at a time. He could not eat a Kun Peng in one go …
This time, he called Ling'e and Aunt-Master Jiujiu over because he wanted to verify the results of the current stage. At the same time, he wanted to study how to promote this mystical ability in the Duxian Gate.
Of course, he wanted to promote the original mystical ability. The improved immortal beans would not be spread easily …
Li Changshou passed the original version of the bean soldiers mystical ability to Aunt-Master Jiujiu and Ling'e and demonstrated it to them.
He casually scattered a few beans, and they turned into three 'archers' who wore leather armor and had slender figures.
Li Changshou had used his Dao Requital realm cultivation level to create Dao soldiers. Their strength was barely comparable to the Void Return realm.
Then, Li Changshou gave a simple order. "That tree."
They pulled their bows and arrows expressionlessly. The arrows condensed from Dharma powers accurately hit the trunk of a big tree a thousand feet away, leaving three transparent holes on the tree trunk.
Jiujiu praised softly, "This is not bad!"
Ling'e asked softly, "Senior Brother, is there any difference between this and the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts?"
"As long as the Dharma powers of the paper dolls formed by the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts are not exhausted, they will continue to exist," Li Changshou explained warmly. "However, the Dao soldiers formed by the Bean Soldiers mystical ability can only exist for a few hours."
After saying that, Li Changshou raised his hand and shook it gently. The three Dao soldiers turned into quicksand and slowly dissipated.
He continued to explain to his junior sister.
"The paper dolls made by the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts require you to split your attention to control them. Otherwise, you can only do simple tasks like sweeping and gathering.
However, the Dao soldiers made by the Bean Soldiers can fight until they collapse as long as you give them a will to fight and a simple command. "
After a pause, Li Changshou saw that Aunt-Master Jiujiu was a little eager to try, so he said,
"Do you want to play a game?"
Jiujiu's eyes lit up and she said happily, "Are you developing the Xiao Qiong Mount Reservation Project again?"
"Sort of." Li Changshou took out an empty porcelain bottle and filled it with 18 immortal beans of different colors and grades.
Then, Li Changshou began to formulate the rules of the game on the spot.
"The tentative name of this project is … [Immortal Bean].
'Dou' was the same as the word for 'dou'.
Each contestant will draw a bean. Only the spiritual power level of the contestant with the lowest cultivation level will be activated by the Bean Soldiers mystical ability. Then, they will fight to determine the winner.
What do you think? "
Jiujiu immediately felt a little disdainful. "Isn't this the same as the Immortal Fighting Bug? There's no intention."
"Aunt-Master, you're too short-sighted." Li Changshou shook his head. "The immortal bugs can't be controlled, but the Dao soldiers can be controlled through the mind. They are equivalent to a substitute for the battle.
We can set some conditions, such as two nests, a river, and a few stone towers. We can let the Dao soldiers controlled by the Qi Refinement cultivators continuously fight.
One person, two people, and many people at the same time. There are many tricks in this. "
Jiujiu tilted her head and thought for a while. Her eyes gradually lit up.
Li Changshou narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
That was actually a deliberate move. He wanted to use this method to promote the Bean Soldiers technique in the Duxian Gate.
If they encountered external enemies again, the sect would have more combat power to deal with them …
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to Xiong Lingli and asked her to rush over. The more people there were, the livelier it would be.
Immediately after, the four of them randomly selected four immortal beans. With Ling 'e's Dharma powers as the standard, they cast the bean soldiers at the same time …
Although Xiong Lingli was strong, her cultivation realm was low. She could not use that mystical ability, so Li Changshou cast it on her behalf.
Li Changshou first created Xiong Lingli's bean soldiers.
With a soft thud, a sword soldier dressed in an ice-blue cloak and white leather armor appeared in front of Xiong Lingli.
There were four words written on the archer's cloak — Ice Sword Soldiers.
"Oh my, it can really turn into a human!"
Xiong Lingli exclaimed in admiration and circled around the sword weapon.
"I'll go first," Ling 'e said with a smile. She scattered the beans and quickly formed a hand seal according to the method that her senior brother had taught her.
Thud!
After the green smoke dissipated, a bean soldier appeared in front of Ling 'e. The bean soldier was wearing a black cloak and a black hood, holding two scimitars in his hands.
Similarly, there were four words written on the bean soldier's cloak — Crescent Moon Blade Soldier.
"Little Changshou, go first." Jiujiu raised her chin at Li Changshou. "I want to be the main character!"
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and casually threw the beans in front of him. He made a few hand seals, and a burly figure appeared in front of him, holding two copper hammers in his hands.
The four words on its cloak were also domineering — Tyrannical Bear Hammer Soldier.
Xiong Lingli's eyes immediately lit up, and she whispered, "Cousin, I like this!"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "You can't change cards. Although our competition is small, it has to be fair and just."
"En!" Xiong Lingli immediately nodded in agreement, her small face full of seriousness.
So, the three people's eyes focused on Jiujiu.
Jiujiu smiled slightly, with a sense of calmness. She pinched the senzu bean in her hand on her fingertips and shouted in a low voice,
"Bang!"
Jiujiu's fingertips released a wisp of immortal power, which was equal to the spiritual power Ling 'e used when casting the spell. She wrapped the bean with immortal power, threw it in front of her, and quickly formed a hand seal with both hands.
The huge sin swayed gently, and the linen shirt was in danger.
"Bean Soldiers!"
Thud!
The senzu bean exploded, and a wisp of green smoke swept up, quickly condensing in front of Jiujiu, condensing … condensing …
"En?"
Jiujiu tilted her head and could not help but squat down. She stared at the strange Dao soldier in front of her.
It had a long mouth that was half a foot in diameter, a round green head, and two black eyeballs. There was a rhizome under its head, and there were two symmetrical branches in the middle of the rhizome. There were two similar branches below it, which seemed to be a pair of feet.
A bamboo token landed at Jiujiu's feet, and there were four words written on it …
"Peashooter"
"This!?!"
Jiujiu was speechless, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
With a pfft, Ling 'e could not help but turn her head and cover her mouth.
"Ahem," Li Changshou said seriously, "I didn't expect you to draw the most precious Dao soldier, Aunt-Master. You've already won this round."
"No! I want to change it! "
Jiujiu immediately went crazy. As she stomped her feet, the mountains shook and the earth shook. It was a spectacular sight.
However, Li Changshou smiled calmly and asked Jiujiu to recite a small incantation.
He heard a sound.
"Pui!"
The Peashooter spat out a fist-sized pearl from its mouth. The pearl circulated the aura of fire and metal of the Five Elements. It flew a thousand feet away and exploded on a wasteland, causing smoke and dust to fill the sky!
After the smoke and dust settled, a huge pit that was 100 feet in diameter was left!
That was only a bean soldier that was activated with Ling 'e's Dharma powers!
Ling 'e and Jiujiu looked at each other in shock.
Although the two of them usually messed around, they were not stupid. At that moment, they could sense the power of the bean soldiers mystical ability, as well as the divine might of the Peashooter …
The only drawback was that the Peashooter moved slowly and could only be used as a fixed 'cannon'.
And this was just a small step that Li Changshou had taken on the path of magically modifying this mystical ability …
Jiujiu suddenly shouted, "The battle begins!"
The three of them were caught off guard. The Peashooter had already started to spit continuously, causing the other three Dao soldiers to flee in a sorry state.
On the Xiao Qiong Mount, Jiujiu's wild laughter immediately echoed.
This laughter was carried away by the clouds that passed by the Duxian Gate and flew to the East China Sea …
"Your Highness, is this enough?"
In the East Ocean Dragon Palace, two huge dragon carriages were piled with treasure chests. Immortal Roshi, who was at the side, wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked Ao Yi, who was dressed in a green robe.
Ao Yi thought for a while …
"Let's have another carriage. We're mainly going for formation treasures."
"This … This old subject obeys."
"Sisi returned to her clan to retrieve treasures as a gift for Brother Changshou. I wonder if she has returned now."
Ao Yi murmured. After being separated for a few hours, he couldn't help but miss her.
