Chapter 582: Chapter 543: Scattering Beans into Soldiers, a One-Man Army

Within the Heaven and Earth Scale, two masses of human desires burned exceptionally hot and bright.

They were both human desires from the Martial Arts Grandmaster, Guo Wanjun!

One mass weighed one jin and two taels, while the other was one jin and nine taels.

In addition, another mass of human desires was particularly conspicuous, its position noticeably higher than all the others.

It was the human desires of the Top Level Celestial Immortal, the Beichen Sword Immortal, which Song Ciwan had been holding onto and had not sold.

’Should I sell it now along with the others?’

After a moment of thought, she decided to sell Grand General Guo’s human desires first and see what happened.

[You have sold human desires—one jin and nine taels of the ease, joy, and anticipation of a True Self Realm of Innate Fifth Transformation Martial Arts Grandmaster. You have obtained the complete Celestial Spirit Daoist Skill: Scattering Beans into Soldiers.]

Scattering Beans into Soldiers!

This was a top-tier Celestial Spirit Daoist Skill that summoned Daoist Soldiers, allowing a single person to become an entire army.

The Grand General’s human desires truly didn’t disappoint, bringing Song Ciwan a powerful army!

Overjoyed, Song Ciwan received the incantations for this Daoist Technique, each line exquisite, every word a gem. She quickly memorized every sentence, soon grasping the cultivation secrets of Scattering Beans into Soldiers.

Scattering Beans into Soldiers has three key points.

First is the foundational medium that becomes the Daoist Soldiers—the "beans."

Of course, these couldn’t be ordinary beans. While it wasn’t impossible to use them, the resulting Daoist Soldiers would inevitably be weaker, which would be meaningless for Song Ciwan.

Second is the method of refining the Soldier Beans to strengthen and upgrade them.

This was crucial, as the strength of the Daoist Soldiers primarily depended on the method used to refine the Soldier Beans.

Third are the incantations to control the Daoist Soldiers and awaken their sentience.

If one wanted to command the scattered Daoist Soldiers with perfect precision, as if they were one’s own limbs, rather than leading a disorderly mob, awakening their sentience was a must.

At higher levels of mastery, one could even have the Daoist Soldiers form battle arrays and divide into different military branches, their transformations endless and miraculous.

After understanding it all, Song Ciwan had only one thought: ’Incredible!’

She immediately checked her collection to see what could be used as Soldier Beans.

After looking through it, she found that the Five Elements Crystal Pearls, Primordial Pearls, and a type of ore called Cold Crystal Sand that she had obtained from an Ice Crystal Fruit would all work.

Of course, for Song Ciwan, the most suitable option was the Five Elements Crystal Pearls. They had a complete range of attributes, and she had them in abundance—

When she left the Giant Spirit Realm, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Star Race had gifted her a large quantity of Five Elements Crystal Pearls. Not even counting the high-grade, Five-star and above pearls, Song Ciwan still had over three thousand Four-star Five Elements Crystal Pearls.

She had ten thousand Three-star Level ones, and more than fifty thousand at the Two-star Level.

Song Ciwan immediately selected one hundred Two-star, fifty Three-star, and ten Four-star pearls. She used the Spirit Mimicry Technique to fully record their characteristics, then sold a common portion of human desires from a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator: [You have sold human desires—two jin and three taels from a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator... You have obtained twenty-three years of cultivation time.]

After entering the Cultivation Space, she began to focus all her efforts on cultivating Scattering Beans into Soldiers.

Time flowed like a river. A quarter of an hour later in the real world, twenty-three years had flashed by in the Cultivation Space.

Song Ciwan’s cultivation of Scattering Beans into Soldiers reached the Mastery Realm.

Scattering Beans into Soldiers: (Mastery 1203/10000)

To spend over twenty years and only reach Mastery was, on one hand, because Scattering Beans into Soldiers was difficult to practice, and on the other, because she couldn’t bring physical objects into the Cultivation Space.

Without refining the Soldier Beans in the real world, it was impossible to make significant progress in the art of Scattering Beans into Soldiers.

Song Ciwan returned to the present world and immediately took out all the Five Elements Crystal Pearls she had simulated refining. She then began the refining process, starting with the Two-star Level Crystal Pearls.

Refining Two-star Level pearls was now child’s play for her.

It only took Song Ciwan half an hour to mass-produce one hundred Two-star Level Five Elements Daoist Soldiers. A Two-star Level Five Elements Daoist Soldier was equivalent to an ordinary Innate First Transformation Martial Artist or a Qi Transformation Stage Cultivator.

Next, Song Ciwan spent an hour refining fifty Three-star Level Five Elements Daoist Soldiers.

Once refined, a Three-star Level Five Elements Daoist Soldier was equivalent to an Innate Second Transformation Martial Artist or a Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator.

Song Ciwan’s Heaven and Earth Scale still contained many Magical Artifacts that were no longer useful to her. She integrated these artifacts into the Three-star Daoist Soldiers, greatly increasing their combat power and finally giving the old Magical Artifacts a purpose.

Finally, Song Ciwan spent another two hours refining ten Four-star Daoist Soldiers.

These ten Daoist Soldiers could no longer be mass-produced; each one had to be crafted individually with considerable effort.

Song Ciwan equipped these Daoist Soldiers with her unused Magical Treasures, such as the Void Escape Sword and the Wuyou Bell. They were all high-quality Magical Treasures, but she didn’t hesitate to use them.

These Daoist Soldiers could be further refined and upgraded in the future. For now, Song Ciwan’s creations were actually somewhat crude.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to make them better, but time was limited, and she couldn’t afford to delay outside the Ancient Divine Palace for too long.

These hastily created Daoist Soldiers were perfect for scouting. Everything inside the Ancient Divine Palace was unknown, and having Daoist Soldiers lead the way could help avoid many dangers.

All the Daoist Soldiers transformed back into Soldier Beans and were stored by Song Ciwan in the Vast Sea Grotto Heaven. She gave herself one final check.

’Oh, right. I can still sell the Demon Beast Death Qi.’

Selling Demon Beast Death Qi could sometimes yield Spiritual Materials, other times Marvels, and occasionally even Magical Artifacts or Magical Treasures.

[You have sold Death Qi—four jin and three taels of Death Qi from a Canglang Demon of the Demon King Stage that was Refining Golden Core. You have obtained the Marvel: Golden Core Breath.]

Golden Core Breath: A one-time use, Five-star Marvel.

When used, it allows one to briefly disguise themselves as a Golden Core Cultivator and possess a confusing Divine Technique. This item’s effect lasts for a quarter of an hour, and the user’s own Cultivation cannot exceed the Divine Refining Stage or its equivalent.

Song Ciwan’s eyebrow twitched. ’This is interesting.’

[You have sold Death Qi—three jin and nine taels from the death of a three-headed Demon King Stage Deer Demon. You have obtained two jin of the Spiritual Material, Illusory Moon Sand.]

Illusory Moon Sand: Five-star Spiritual Materials that can be used in refining Magical Treasures and possess illusory properties.

At this point, she still had five trades remaining for the day.

Song Ciwan made no more trades. She used the Strange Technique, A Grain of Sand in the Sea, and slipped out of the Han Guang Glaze Residence unnoticed before putting it away.

「Ancient Divine Palace, Nine Transformation Lotus Pool.」

Deep within a massive sinkhole, the lotus pool was a vision of red flowers and jade-green leaves. Multi-petaled blossoms swayed, coexisting with seed pods as if spring and summer were one. Though several rounds of Lotus Seeds had been picked, the pool showed no signs of withering.

Lotuses have long been a symbol of purity, rising clean from the mire.

But the lotuses in this Nine Transformation Lotus Pool, while appearing pure and beautiful at first glance, exuded an indescribable, decadent allure from their red petals the longer one looked.

It made any sentient creature feel an involuntary stirring in their heart, a captivating pull that created an impulse to rush forward, pluck the Lotus Seeds, and devour them.

But news had long since spread that Alien Gu were hidden within the Lotus Seeds. The Human Race knew, as did many well-informed members of the Demon Race.

Everyone knew full well that these Lotus Seeds could not be picked.

Then again, how many things in this world were there that everyone knew they shouldn’t touch? A great many!

But just because something is "off-limits," does that really mean no one will touch it?

Someone is always bound to give in to temptation.

And demons are no different.

The moon was setting in the west, and the deepest darkness before another dawn was about to fall.

A Great Demon lying in ambush by the Nine Transformation Lotus Pool tried to move several times, only to be held back by its companion.
