Chapter 166: Why Don’t You Go?

Isn’t it a bit extravagant to use a Golden Armored Battle Soldier to clear the spiritual field?

To create more labor, Ji Yang thought that a Qi Refinement stage Battle Soldier would be sufficient.

Ji Yang grabbed a handful of spiritual grains and used the Soldiers from Beans technique to transform all of them into Battle Soldiers.

The soldiers transformed from different seeds varied in color and size, but as long as the magic energy injected was at the same stage, they were generally similar.

Ji Yang continuously scattered several handfuls, and dozens of Battle Soldiers stood in neat rows in front of the wooden house.

Then, Ji Yang issued orders, directing some Battle Soldiers to cut wood and break stones, while others cleared weeds and transplanted flowers. The remaining soldiers were tasked with renewing the fields to prepare for cultivating the spiritual field.

The ordered Battle Soldiers stepped forward slowly, each fulfilling their duty.

Watching everything run so smoothly made Ji Yang smile with satisfaction.

At this moment, the happiest one was undoubtedly Little Black standing nearby.

With so many helpers, it wouldn’t have to catch bugs anymore, and later, it could secretly eat a couple while Ji Yang wasn’t looking.

Lost in such daydreams, Little Black appeared almost mesmerized.

Suddenly, Ji Yang’s sharp voice interrupted,

"Why aren’t you catching bugs? What are you thinking about?"

The reprimand snapped Little Black from its thoughts. Watching the behavior of the Battle Soldiers, a sense of unease crept back into its heart.

Before the reprimand, Little White had already smartly gone off to tend to the rain.

Now, aside from personally planting spiritual grains at Jingtan Peak, there was no need for her to do anything else.

Watching everything flourishing and progressing toward a good direction, Ji Yang radiated a gentle smile.

However, when Ji Yang saw the still-present Golden Armored Battle Soldiers nearby, a look of contemplation crossed his face.

How should this soldier be used?

The methods of magic are not fixed!

For example, the Heart Sword can both cut through enemy flaws and can sever the flaws of spiritual grains.

In using Soldiers from Beans, could he utilize the remaining energy?

Thoughts raced through Ji Yang’s mind.

Currently, the Battle Soldiers required him to personally issue every command, and once they completed their tasks, they would stand still—too predictable in their actions, which wouldn’t work in a workplace.

If they possessed spirit intelligence and could work autonomously, that would be even better.

With Ji Yang’s current primordial spirit energy, achieving this didn’t seem too difficult!

He just needed to use the Huang Ting Dao Jing to divide off a small portion of his powerful primordial spirit energy and inject it into the Battle Soldiers.

Though they wouldn’t be another him, the soldiers might still gain some spirit intelligence, capable of understanding slightly more complex commands.

With determination, Ji Yang took out a Black Rock spiritual grain again, preparing for a test.

This time, as Ji Yang used his magic, he also activated the Huang Ting Dao Jing, infusing a thread of primordial spirit energy into it.

Soon, another identical muscular man appeared before Ji Yang.

Unlike the previous Battle Soldiers, the one before Ji Yang had a glimmer of spirit intelligence in its eyes, and Ji Yang’s control over its attributes was enhanced because it contained a thread of his own primordial spirit energy.

Since it was only a small amount, Ji Yang didn’t feel much change.

However, this technique shouldn’t be overused, nor should it be employed in battle. Otherwise, if a Battle Soldier were killed, the primordial spirit energy would also be depleted and would be hard to recover.

If other cultivators used this method, they could easily get hurt.

Even Ji Yang could only recover by absorbing spiritual attributes, which would not be worth the loss.

But for controlling the spiritual field, it should work quite well.

Ji Yang used the same method again and created two more Black Rock Warriors, each with a bit of spirit intelligence!

Then he pointed at the three Warriors and said,

"Go and clear all the spiritual fields within the peak."

After giving the command, Ji Yang did not plan to supervise them any further.

However, as he turned to leave, Ji Yang noticed that the three Black Rock Warriors did not move; instead, they stood facing each other.

This puzzled Ji Yang, and he swept his primordial spirit energy over them.

The Warriors seemed fine; he felt he could control them directly, and there were no accidents.

So what was the issue?

Observing the silent three Black Rock Warriors, Ji Yang pondered for a moment and activated the Breathing Technique of All Things!

With spirit intelligence, they could certainly communicate. Others might not hear, but could he not listen?

Once the Breathing Technique was activated, Ji Yang heard the Warriors engaged in a heated argument:

"Why should I go! Why don’t you go!"

"He clearly called for you, not me! I’m not going!"

"If you’re not going, then I won’t go either!"

"If you all aren’t going, then I won’t go!"

…

Hearing the argument among the three Battle Soldiers, Ji Yang’s expression darkened.

Was their spirit intelligence excessive?

Ji Yang tried to reason:

“You all could just go!”

The three Warriors turned to Ji Yang:

"You’re just good at giving orders; why don’t you go yourself?"

Ji Yang’s breath quickened, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead. Although he could force them to move, his original goal would not be accomplished.

With a flash of Sword Light in his hand, he quickly sent the three new Warriors to rest.

After the Sword Light passed, the three Warriors returned to their original form, transforming into three Black Rock spiritual grains, but having been struck down, they were now split in two.

The originally deep-colored grains, rich in spiritual energy, now showed a charred surface, devoid of life.

This was the result of using Soldiers from Beans; the two grains could neither be consumed nor could the magic be reused.

Was it because the spirit intelligence was granted by his own primordial spirit?

Since they shared the same primordial spirit, there was no distinction; only Ji Yang had more, and the Warriors had less.

However, the spirit intelligence given by the grains was not high. No matter how many there were, they wouldn’t listen to their own kind!

Ji Yang frowned and took out a Purple Rice spiritual grain for another test.

As he applied the magic, the Purple Rice spiritual grain transformed into a Purple Rice Warrior.

With the Breathing Technique activated, Ji Yang gave instructions:

"Go and command them to clear all the spiritual fields."

Purple Rice Warrior: "Yes, master!"

After saying that, the Purple Rice Warrior walked off toward the distance.

Seeing this, Ji Yang nodded slightly; it seemed like he had encountered some surprises with the last spell.

But before it could travel far, he heard the Purple Rice Warrior’s sorrowful voice:

"Wind howls cold at the Yishui River, the brave man leaves and never returns!"

…

Alright, it was the different natures of the grains!

Good grief!

The Black Rock spiritual grains could not be granted spirit intelligence again.

The Purple Rice spiritual grains could still be used.

As for the Golden Fruit spiritual grains?

Forget it, no need to try anymore.

Having one Battle Soldier with spirit intelligence in control of the situation was sufficient; Ji Yang decided not to create more troubles.

Looking at the remaining Golden Valiant Warrior beside him, Ji Yang had an idea and took out a fixed-point object from his storage bag.

After breaking the seal, Ji Yang spoke to the copper mirror,

"I’ll give you a body. Do you want it?"
