Twins

The Yin cultivator beside the bonfire suffered a backlash from the ritual and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You're courting death!" A wounded Yin cultivator roared in fury. As he did so, he summoned a black glazed soul altar from his sleeve. The altar's mouth emitted a ghostly light, and a soul shadow rushed out of it, carrying a chilling aura as it lunged at the red sedan chair.

"Hehe~" Yan Jingshu parted her lips slightly, her smile deepening, her hair dancing like a soaring snake as she faced the malevolent spirit.

The Soul-Cleansing Melody quietly began, each melody imbued with the chilling cold of the River of River of Forgetfulness.

The malevolent spirit suddenly froze, as if an invisible hand had seized its throat. Wisps of black energy rose from its twisted, gray-black soul, and it quietly donned a red robe.

The malevolent spirit, clad in red robes, suddenly changed direction and lashed out at its original owner with a claw.

Yin Xiu was shocked and tried to dodge, but was suddenly wrapped in a red silk ribbon, and the Soul-Cleansing Melody entered his brain. His body stiffened instantly, and his prepared resistance came to an abrupt halt.

The red sedan curtain swayed gently, revealing Yan Jingshu's stunningly beautiful face. Her crimson eyes were fixed on Yin Xiu, who lay slumped on the ground, and a cold, alluring smile curved her lips.

These three Spirit Realm cultivators practiced ghost magic, transforming themselves into half-human, half-ghost beings. At this moment, they were subjected to the Soul-Cleansing Melody Soul Refining, which forcibly separated their souls from their decaying bodies. In the blink of an eye, they were dressed in red and incorporated into the official ranks.

"Great, I don't even need to lift a finger~" Lin Xu looked ahead in high spirits.

Beside the extinguished campfire, a pair of twin girls who had just woken up bowed to him. "We are deeply grateful for your rescue, sir. We have no way to repay you, but if you do not mind, we are willing to be your maid or concubine to repay this life-saving grace."

Lin Xu's expression was strange. He could only say that the Spirit Realm truly lived up to its reputation as a land of fantasy, even the "lines" were so fitting.

The elder sister is aloof and cold, with an air of detachment in every gesture; the younger sister is gentle and graceful, with tenderness in every smile and frown. When the two stand together, they are like plum blossoms in winter and peach blossoms in spring blooming on the same branch.

"I can't believe I got this!" Lin Xu's face lit up with undisguised surprise.

Although I've heard on the forum that followers obtained through camp rescue usually have special talents or backgrounds, I've never heard of anyone like Meng Yaoguang and Meng Yaohua, who are born with Dao seeds and have twin soul contracts.

"Perhaps it's related to the difficulty of the rescue? I remember most of the followers were rescued from the bandit camp; the Yinxiu Altar is clearly much more difficult..."

Lin Xu glanced at the three new red-clad ghosts. Although they didn't have the Elite Template, they possessed ghost magic and were rare "ghost geniuses" among the ghosts.

Especially these three new ghosts, who were all mid-level professionals in life, were unlucky enough to be injured by the backlash of the ritual. They couldn't even unleash one-tenth of their strength before the Ghost Bride extracted their souls and refined their spirits. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to subdue the three mid-level Yin cultivators.

Twin talents are extremely rare, especially those with both high mental and intellectual abilities, who are fully capable of bearing his Dharma Seed.

As long as resources are available, it won't be long before they grow into capable assistants!

Overjoyed, Lin Xu led the convoy back to Peach Tree Village with the twins in tow.

At this moment, the village chief and his group, who had gone out to purchase supplies, finally returned to the village. He inspected the supplies they had brought back and nodded in satisfaction. "50 iron plows, 200 hoes and sickles... the supplies are complete, we can start clearing land immediately."

In the entire Peach Tree Village, only Lin Xu had the ability to create spirit-enchanted farming tools. He spent the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before he had inscribed all of these farming tools with seal script magic arrays.

As the light flickered, farmers rushed into the fields with their magically imbued tools.

The oxen, in neat formation, pulled the Earth-Breaking Plow across the fields, and where the plowshares passed, the soil surged like black and gold waves.

The moment the spiritual field was turned over, the Earth Vein's Spiritual Qi was activated by the "Soil-Turning Formation." The previously uncultivated soil began to glow with a faint blue light, and the soil gradually became soft and full of spiritual energy.

Name: Lingtian

Level: Level 1 resource building (upgradeable)

Belongs to: Xuanwei Monastery, Peach Tree Village

Scope: One mu (approximately 0.16 acres) of land

Effects: Plant growth rate +50%, crop yield +20%, soil fertility slowly improves.

Introduction: Spirit fields can be planted with spiritual grains, spiritual vegetables, and other crops. The harvested produce contains Spiritual Qi, and consuming it can restore a small amount of health and mana.

This was the first building with an attribute panel that Lin Xu had seen in Peach Tree Village, even though it was just a piece of farmland.

The villagers used seed drills to evenly sow the Spirit Seed into the spirit soil. Outer disciples released Spirit Rain Spell to nourish the fields. Fine rain threads, carrying a faint spiritual light, fell. One day after the Spirit Seed were planted, tiny green shoots sprouted in the fields.

"The village militia already numbers over 150 people. If we can spare some of them for crop rotation, we can reclaim hundreds of acres of wasteland..."

Lin Xu did a quick calculation and was overjoyed. "With the support of the formation, and the combined effect of the Sprouting Spell and the Spirit Rain Spell, the ripening cycle of the spirit rice can be shortened to ten days, and the yield per mu can be increased by more than three times."

At the current pace, the first batch of spirit rice will be harvested in at most half a month. At that time, it will not only satisfy the entire village's food needs, but also leave a large surplus for exchanging cultivation resources.

All of this is just the beginning of the development of Peach Tree Village.

According to Lin Xu's observation, although Peach Tree Village is located in a hilly area, its Earth Vein are strong. If a formation is used to draw in spiritual energy, the entire mountain area can be transformed into a natural spiritual field.

Once developed, it will become a vast expanse of terraced rice paddies stretching for thousands of acres!

Inside the quiet room, Lin Xu looked at the three-legged bronze cauldron that was nearly as tall as a person and about ten feet wide, and stroked it with great affection.

Ancient patterns flow through the mottled patina on the cauldron's body, and subtle ripples of light appear where the fingertips touch it, making it clearly extraordinary.

Item: Spirit-Nurturing Cauldron

Type: Ritual implement

Grade: Rare Cyan

Effects: Can nurture spiritual herbs and refine materials; increases the success rate of alchemy by 5% and the success rate of weapon crafting by 5%.

Description: An ancient bronze tripod with three legs and two handles, its surface engraved with Spirit-Gathering Inscription and Fire Control Formation.

This Spirit-Nurturing Cauldron was obtained by Lin Xu through the merits he had accumulated over the past few days, specifically from the sect's treasury.

Although it is the lowest grade of cauldron-type magical artifact, it excels in its comprehensive functions, making it especially suitable for cultivators like him who are just beginning to explore the arts of alchemy and artifact crafting.

Lin Xu's spiritual sense penetrated into the Spirit-Nurturing Cauldron, and he clearly perceived the Spirit-Gathering Inscription and Fire Control Formation structure contained within it.

As the magical power flowed, the Spirit-Nurturing Cauldron trembled slightly, its three legs firmly planted on the ground, and a pale blue aura appeared between its two ears.

A moment later, he withdrew his spiritual sense, and a three-dimensional image of the Spirit-Gathering Inscription and Fire Control Formation inside the Spirit-Nurturing Cauldron, deepening his understanding of the principles of weapon refining.

"The size of cauldron-type magical artifacts is too large, making them difficult to forge..."

He sat back down on the futon, closed his eyes, and concentrated.
