The river was surging and the fog was hazy.

The small caravan boat traveled along the river, about a few days away from the Mang Mountain in the distance.

Su Chen drank a bowl of fresh fish soup, returned to the canopy, and continued to study his spiritual objects.

A wisp of his divine thought sneaked into the spiritual mountain.

On Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, his Qinglian Yuan Shen is still the same, rooted and growing on Lingshan, but the lotus leaf is slightly one-tenth larger than a year ago.

In addition, there is an extra pale yellow spirit bean in Lingshan, which sprouts early and takes root, growing into a spirit yellow bean.

This is a mystery that Su Chen discovered when he inadvertently took out a shriveled Linbing bean in the green bag and played in the palm of his hand.

He only needs to move his mind to move the spiritual object into the spiritual mountain of Zhihai out of thin air.

Of course, it is limited to small spiritual objects that are less than lighter in weight. If it's not a spiritual object, or it's too heavy, it can't be ingested inside.

This surprised and intrigued him.

Su Chen tried a few times, and found that every time he took the initiative and went out, he would consume a small amount of divine thoughts. And the loss of divine thoughts will make you very tired.

This year, he tried to plant the spirit beans in the spirit mountain.

This Linbing bean is a spiritual soybean.

Just before planting, it is necessary to engrave the recipe of the "White Lotus Spirit Sutra" on the surface of the bean grains. After it grows, it will produce spirit beans one by one, and it can become a soldier bean.

In this spiritual mountain, the growth speed of the spirit bean depends on the cyan vitality it absorbs.

If it absorbs more, it will grow very quickly, and it can grow a lot in a day. The fastest, overnight growth for a year's results.

But if there is no cyan vitality to draw from, it will grow completely and stagnate.

Su Chen was not in a hurry, so he tried to plant one in Lingshan to see the growth and power of this Linbing bean, and he didn't dare to plant more. Let it absorb a small amount of green vitality in the spiritual mountain, and grow slowly.

The normal growth period of the bean is one year. Recently, this spirit bean has reached maturity and has produced some pods.

Perhaps, because the cyan vitality in the spirit mountain is sufficient, this spirit bean is very full. On one plant, more than a dozen plump pods were produced, and each pod contained two or three Linbing beans.

His Qinglian Yuan Shen itself needs to absorb the cyan vitality to grow, and of course it can't be wasted on this Linbing Bean.

...

Su Chen's divine thought came out of the spiritual mountain.

At this time, in his hand, there was already an extra pod of the soldiers with a cyan aura. It was round and bulging, and the aura was full and abundant, far better than those shriveled and withered yellow spirit soybeans in the White Lotus Sect Leader Mao Ziyuan.

"Those who are in front of the beans are all arrayed in front!"

Su Chenkou recited the recipe of "sprinkling beans into soldiers" and threw it casually.

The pod falls to the ground and splits.

"Poof!"

In an instant, three white lotus wrestlers with nearly seven feet tall waists and round arms and huge strength of Kongwu appeared in front of Su Chen.

They were expressionless, bare-handed, roaring, quietly and meekly prostrate in front of Su Chen, without moving.

Whoever recites the mantra and releases it, they obey whomever it commands.

Without Su Chen's instructions, they won't do anything.

The canopy, which was not too spacious, was almost crowded with their three huge figures.

"Childe, what's going on?"

Anu was rowing with the oars outside, and when he heard the strange sound in the canopy, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly flew in. But I saw that there were three more White Lotus Warriors, prostrate on the ground.

"The three of them... Where did it come from?"

"It's okay, this is the 'Scattering Beans into Soldiers' technique, the White Lotus Lux conjured from three spirit beans! I got a little spirit beans before, and I suddenly remembered it, so I took it to try their power. ”

Su Chen said with a smile.

"Scattering beans into soldiers... This is the legendary immortal law!"

Anu was amazed and looked closely at their faces.

Sure enough, they all had stiff expressions and empty eyes, they were not real people, they had no intelligence, and they were completely illusionary puppets of the Soldier Bean.

The inside of the canopy was too narrow, so Su Chen took them out of the cabin and came to the spacious place outside to test their strength.

"I'll try!"

Anu was curious for a moment, and wanted to fight with them with his bare hands.

"Roar!"

A White Lotus Lux roared and swung his fist at Anu.

Anu was surprised to find that she couldn't beat it. She can only rely on her flexible posture to fight. Once they go head-to-head, White Lotus Lux is strong enough to knock her out.

The strength of the White Lotus Lux's fists and feet is very fierce, and one punch and kick are as high as seven or eight hundred catties, which is extremely powerful. And they are very resistant to beating, fighting, and are not afraid of any disability. They are all spiritual beans conjured up, controlled battle puppets, this is the real "not afraid of death", until death rests.

Unless it's fatal with a single stab, shattering their heads, or shattering their hearts, they will disappear.

The strength of these three White Lotus wrestlers is actually at the peak of the first-class late stage, which is stronger than the early stage masters of Anu.

Before, the shriveled soldiers of the White Lotus Sect Leader Mao Ziyuan had only reached the early stage of the first class.

"Anu be careful, it's too strong, don't fight it head-on! it doesn't seem to be too flexible, it can go around and attack it from behind. ”

Su Chen watched Anu compete with a White Lotus Warrior, and observed the strength of Anu and this White Lotus Warrior puppet.

He was quite satisfied with their strength, but he was also a little dissatisfied.

The White Lotus Lux conjured up by this Linbing Bean is not the opponent of a Jianghu Grandmaster, let alone an immortal cultivator in the Qi Refining Period, and he can be killed directly in an instant.

They are also not as powerful as the runes.

However, the biggest advantage of Linbing Beans is that there is almost no limit in the huge number. If you scatter dozens, or even hundreds of Linbing beans in one go, you will still give your opponent some trouble.

Anu swam around the bow of the boat, fought with the White Lotus Lux, and found that he couldn't win it, so he had to give up.

The three White Lotus Lux squatted on the boat again and fell silent.

Su Chen was surprised that they could still exist after a fierce fight.

He had just gotten this green bag earlier, and he had also tried it once, using the shriveled Linbing beans to conjure up a White Lotus Lux. But it was only an hour after the illusion came out, and the aura was insufficient, and it collapsed automatically. If there is a battle, even if it lasts for a shorter time.

Unexpectedly, the Linbing Bean, which was full of aura conjured up this time, could continue to exist after a fight.

Su Chen guessed that maybe it was because the aura in the spirit beans was too full and sufficient, which could support their existence for a long time. Until the aura is exhausted, it will be saved.

This Soldier Bean is a one-time transformation product, once it is transformed, it cannot return to the state of the spirit bean, and can only continue until its spiritual energy is completely exhausted, and then it will automatically annihilate.

Su Chen pondered.

After testing their strength, they simply handed over the three White Lotus Lux to Anu and asked her to summon them.

Anu couldn't help but be very happy, and asked one of the three strong men to go boating, one to go fishing and laundry, and the other to chop wood and make a fire for cooking.

They're doing a good job, too.

It seems that it is easy to use this battle puppet to do some chores. It's just too much of a waste of this spirit bean, the quantity is limited, and I can't afford to use it at ordinary times.

Su Chen smiled and didn't care about them anymore.

He went back to the canopy and continued to ponder the other water spirit beads and some spiritual materials for talismans.

In his green bag, there are also a small amount of spirit calla lily seeds and spirit gourd seeds, which can grow spirit horse fairy foals and gourd mages.

But this spirit horse fairy foal and gourd mage are very big, and if they want to grow them, they are far more cyan than a small Linbing bean.

According to the White Lotus Spirit Sutra, this spirit gourd vine alone can usually produce seven or eight gourds in a bunch, and the size is very large, and it needs to absorb a lot of spiritual energy to grow it.

If it is planted in Lingshan, the consumption of Qingyuan Qi may exceed that of Linbing Beans by tens or hundreds of times.

Although Su Chen was curious about their function, he was too lacking in green vitality and didn't want to plant them for a while. I can only wait for my own conditions in the future to try to grow one.

Su Chen has too many doubts and unknowns about cultivating immortals, and he wants to solve them.

In the book of jade slips, "The Mayfly Chapter of the Wandering Journey", he only saw the words "Qi Refining Period, Yuan Shen, and Reiki". This immortal book does not mention the so-called Lingshan at all, let alone the role of Lingshan.

I don't know if other immortal cultivators, like him, are also primordial gods rooted in the spiritual mountain?

...

The three conjured White Lotus Lux had too much aura and surprisingly tenacious vitality, and they never collapsed automatically.

Anu commanded the three of them to paddle the boat, and the speed was obviously faster.

Two days later, in the early morning.

The canopy boat followed the river to reach a vast mountain range, and the endless mountains could not be seen.

This place is recorded on the map of the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty and is called Mangshan.

It's not too famous, if it weren't recorded in the map of the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid that Su Chen and the others would not pay too much attention to it when they passed by here.

At the foot of this Mangshan Mountain, there is a quaint village in the distance.

The hazy river fog shrouded this small village, and it was not really visible.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, living in the fields.

The wooden houses in the small village loom in the background, and I am afraid that there are nearly hundreds of families living in them. The crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs could be heard in the distance, and the smoke of the cooking stove should rise, and most of the farmers should get up to make breakfast and get ready for work.

"Childe, it's here!"

Anu's crisp voice came from outside.

Su Chen closed his eyes cross-legged, opened his eyes and got up, opened the curtain and went out.

The cold wind on the river was a little cold.

But he saw that the armor of the ship was covered with frost like snow. Anu's shoe prints stepped on, leaving a shallow delicate mark, elegant and interesting.

"Let's go, let's see!"

Su Chen and Anu got off the canopy boat, tied it on the shore, and took the three white lotus wrestlers to the quaint mountain village to have a look.

This small village is not big, and chickens and dogs smell each other. Strangers entered the village, and more than a dozen local dogs raised in the village ran out one after another.

However, as soon as they saw Su Chen, Anu and the three Kong Wu White Lotus Warriors, they seemed to smell something terrible, and they immediately died down and shrank back in fear.

Su Chen entered this ancient village and asked the old people in the village if they had heard of the presence of immortals in this area, or if it was something supernatural.

He didn't report much hope, he had searched for many famous mountains and ancient villages before, but he didn't find any unusual people.

When the old people, women and children in the village heard this, they all shook their heads.

"In our small village for hundreds of years, we have never heard of any immortals. ”

"However, this Mangshan Mountain is a sacred mountain, and it is difficult to climb. It is said that over this mountain, it is a big mountain and a big river, and the poor mountain is bad water. There are often tigers, leopards and jackals. No Orion dares to go in, and nine times out of ten, they won't be able to get out. ”

"However, there are still people who dare to go. In a corner of the village at the foot of the mountain, there is a woodcutter family, whose surname is Wu. This woodcutter often went into the mountains to cut down wood, and every time he would cut down a tree and return.

The most amazing thing is that he has never been bitten by a jackal for decades. However, this Wu woodcutter is withdrawn, and rarely has contact with his peers in the village except for going into the mountains to cut wood. ”

Su Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, a little happy and surprised.

Since this woodcutter surnamed Wu can freely enter the dangerous mountain, he obviously has some ability, and he is afraid that he is a first-class master who lives in seclusion here, and may even be a grandmaster.

Such a capable person, of course, will know more than ordinary people. If there is anything strange about this Mangshan, it must know the situation better than others.

Su Chen and Anu glanced at each other, and immediately went to the foot of the mountain to find the woodcutter surnamed Wu.
