Chapter 165: Soldiers from Beans
"Be more careful next time; I’ll let this slide for now."
After saying this, Ji Yang channeled his magic, creating a spirit barrier that covered the copper mirror.
The brightly shining copper mirror quickly fell into silence.
Looking at the sealed copper mirror, Ji Yang placed it back into his storage bag.
This time, Ji Yang did not choose to eliminate the remnant soul, as its power no longer posed a threat to him.
As for what it mentioned about the fixed-point object, Ji Yang didn’t care.
This mirror might indeed be extraordinary, but claiming it can cut off the river of time seems a bit exaggerated.
Even if such power truly exists, it is likely not something an ordinary person can wield.
Moreover, Ji Yang had another reason for not dealing with this remnant soul.
He realized he knew far too little.
The Cultivation World was vast, and he couldn’t even recognize many rare spiritual plant seeds. This remnant soul had a wealth of knowledge and might prove to be helpful later.
For now, it was best to keep it sealed and bring it out when needed.
After handling the matter with the remnant soul, Ji Yang redirected his gaze to the spiritual field ahead.
It was time to expand production.
Otherwise, it would be a waste to leave this fine land uncultivated.
Fortunately, Ye Wuchen was not home, giving Ji Yang plenty of time.
However, before planting, he still needed to clear the spiritual field.
Since Jingtan Peak had previously only housed Ye Wuchen, the buildings were simple and sparse, leaving most areas free to grow wild with trees and flowers.
While this seemed quite novel in the past, Ji Yang now viewed these plants as obstacles on his path to greatness.
They all needed to be removed!
Yet, when Ji Yang looked at the dog running in the spiritual field and the insects soaring in the sky, he felt the limitations of human effort.
With such a large mountain, it would take considerable time to cultivate the land. If he hadn’t finished by the time Ye Wuchen returned, it could be very dangerous.
At that moment, Ji Yang’s eyes brightened.
How could he forget his Dou-Soldier Technique?
Though they were Battle Soldiers, it didn’t matter who they fought. It would be just as well to use them to clear the flowers and grass.
Since it was called the Dou-Soldier Technique, it certainly required bean-like spiritual items for usage.
Ji Yang didn’t have beans, but he had spiritual grains!
Although they were slightly different, he figured there wouldn’t be much of an issue.
Ji Yang took out the spiritual grains from the Heaven’s Secret Pearl, sticking with his usual three types:
Purple Rice, Black Rock, and Golden Fruit.
First, Ji Yang pulled out a grain of Black Rock, then used his abilities to scatter it into the air.
The Black Rock in the air quickly transformed into a tall man as it landed.
This man had a rugged face, a strong physique, and wore Black Armor while holding a Broad Axe and Great Sword, presenting a rough and tough appearance.
His eyes were vacant, showing that he clearly lacked spirit intelligence.
As the Black Rock spiritual grain turned into a muscular man, Ji Yang sensed it within his mind, enabling him to issue basic commands and easily control it.
Although it was Soldiers from Beans, the strength of the "soldier" depended on the magic energy Ji Yang consumed while using this technique.
Just now, Ji Yang used less than a tenth of his magic energy, so the muscular man before him was only at the Qi Refinement low stage.
Such a Battle Soldier had little practical use; it could only bully ordinary people or assist with trivial tasks in clearing the spiritual field.
Another benefit was that once he used the technique, Ji Yang would not need to spend any more of his own magic energy.
The soldier could last until the spiritual energy of the grain was depleted. If used for combat, its lifespan would be significantly shorter, but if used for cultivating the spiritual field, it could last for more than a day.
This helped solve Ji Yang’s labor shortage problem greatly.
Ji Yang utilized his skill again and scattered several more seeds.
A row of identical Battle Soldiers stood before him, waiting for commands.
Meanwhile, the dog and dragon, who had been busy in the field, gathered around in surprise after witnessing such a strange technique.
Little Black merely lacked experience.
As for Little White, she understood too much.
In her bloodline heritage, there were plenty of such spells, but only high-level cultivators could master them, and since they involved other elements, she couldn’t comprehend why Ji Yang could use it.
As they watched, tears streamed down Little Black’s face.
Especially after seeing a grain of spiritual grain transform into a person.
This made Little Black ponder; could it be that all humans were transformed from spiritual grains?
Eating spiritual grains could increase one’s cultivation level, and people were also transformed from spiritual grains.
In other words, humans were equivalent to spiritual grains.
A light flashed in Little Black’s dark eyes.
Got it!
Starting tomorrow, he would eat people!
Beside them, Little White, feeling both amazed and dismissive, thought little of the mere Battle Soldiers; she could easily defeat them with a flick, posing no threat at all.
After scattering several Golden Fruit spiritual grains as Battle Soldiers, Ji Yang suddenly wanted to test the limits of his Soldiers from Beans technique—to see how much spiritual energy it would consume and what cultivation level the created soldiers would achieve.
This time, Ji Yang chose not to use the Black Rock spiritual grain, but instead took out a Golden Fruit from the Heaven’s Secret Pearl. This grain came from the plant he had completely severed flaws from before.
He assumed that the higher the quality of the spiritual grain, the stronger the resulting Battle Soldiers would be.
Holding the Golden Fruit tightly, Ji Yang fully unleashed his magic.
When he felt that this grain could no longer bear the spiritual energy, he finally threw it into the air.
As the Golden Fruit spiritual grain fell, Little Black’s hind legs pushed off the ground, overcome with an urge to leap and eat the grain, convinced that this one would be the tastiest after all his experience eating spiritual grains!
Little White felt the same; though she hadn’t eaten many spiritual grains, she could also sense the enhancements they provided.
However, looking at Ji Yang beside them, the two beasts restrained themselves.
Little Black: Thirty Years on the East River!
Little White: Thirty Years on the West River!
Little Black and Little White: Don’t bully the young and poor!
The two beasts exchanged glances, realizing each other’s intentions, then continued to lie low.
At the moment the Golden Fruit spiritual grain landed, it transformed into a Golden Armored Battle Soldier standing about ten feet tall!
Its form was even larger, wielding Golden Scissors, exuding an unmatched power.
Feeling the cultivation level of the Golden Armored Battle Soldier, Ji Yang was also surprised.
He had only consumed about ten percent of his magic energy, yet this soldier had already reached the Early Stage of Yuan Infants!
If the Golden Fruit spiritual grain could bear more spiritual energy, perhaps its level could reach even higher.
However, this grain was already a supreme spiritual grain without flaws, and it would be difficult to find a better one—perhaps that was a limitation of this technique.
Ji Yang then noted another weakness of the Battle Soldiers; although they had cultivation, they were unable to use any spells or techniques. If they encountered cultivators of the same level, it would be hard for them to win in direct combat.
Correspondingly, these Battle Soldiers had incredibly strong physiques and immense strength, so cultivators at the same level wouldn’t consider withstanding their attacks; it had its pros and cons.
But achieving the Nascent Soul Stage was enough satisfaction for Ji Yang, especially since he hadn’t expended much spiritual energy, giving him great value in return.
