Chapter 9: Turning Beans into Soldiers

Previously, I was quite displeased to have become the treasure trove of that scoundrel Zhang Zhongjun, but now that displeasure has diminished by half

Zhang Zhongjun immediately shouted excitedly: "Sowing beans to create soldiers!" Then, a bean appeared on his forehead, which grew in the wind, quickly transforming into a two-meter-tall, indifferent man wearing only a pair of shorts. However, this man's figure was hazy, appearing to be merely an image.

Three identical strong men appeared, their figures finally stabilizing as they stood there like statues

At the same time, he also had an additional thought in his mind, which was information regarding the magical technique of turning beans into soldiers

Oh. Zhang Zhongjun immediately became interested, but after biting his finger, he withdrew his hand and instead held the jade slip and the yellow beans, looking pitifully at the big frog

Oh. Zhang Zhongjun was reminded, and with a thought, the burly man immediately donned a full set of black armor, grasped a long spear in his hand, followed by a dagger, as well as a bow and two quivers of arrows

The big frog peeked in and automatically recalled the names and effects of these two items, which made it gasp in shock and exclaim with jealousy: "What the heck! This is too biased, isn't it? To level up and actually drop matching magical treasures?"

Zhang Zhongjun, disregarding his nosebleed, looked in astonishment at the jade slip and yellow beans that were stained red with his blood, which slowly melted away and finally rose into the air, entering between his eyebrows

Even if he could conjure a full set of equipment, the figure of the strong man continued to swell. Zhang Zhongjun knew that the vital energy was still excessive, so he naturally chose to begin increasing the quantity.

Zhang Zhongjun's attention shifted to the two items that had fallen in front of him after those objects returned to the mouth of the big frog

The big frog, seeing Zhang Zhongjun in a flustered state not knowing what to do, couldn't help but say irritably: "Fool! Didn't you carefully examine the jade tablet? This is an excess of vitality! You either need to increase the number of bean soldiers or enhance their armor. Why aren't you taking action quickly? Are you just going to wait for the bean soldiers to explode?"

One item is a jade tablet, and the other is a bead the size of a yellow soybean

Ah? Magic? Isn't that something that can only be used during the Qi Refinement stage?" Zhang Zhongjun said with a face full of disappointment, rather than surprise.

However, this is not bad either. In the past, due to the limitations of my memory, I only knew that I had hidden quite a few treasures, but I had no idea what they were or what they looked like. For instance, the Yuan Pearl and the Gravity Bracelet; the big frog does not care about these two items, yet this is still the first time it has brought them out since it transformed into a frog

Damn it, so you kid have incredible luck! This is the magical technique of sowing seeds to create soldiers! The important part is the soldiers within those seeds! Not the spell being cast! In other words, all you need to do now is to drop your blood on these two things, and let the beans absorb the vital energy you wasted, and you will be able to use the technique of sowing seeds to create soldiers! There is no need to reach the Qi Refining stage at all!

The big frog was momentarily taken aback, and after realizing the situation, it immediately shouted in anger: "Damn it! If you can endure such arduous training, how can you be afraid of pain!"

Zhang Zhongjun blinked his eyes, waiting for the big frog to explain

The robust man swayed slightly, and another man dressed identically appeared beside him. Then, with another sway, yet another identical man emerged.

The great frog was in utter agony; ever since signing that strange contract, it had lost control over many things hidden within its belly. While it could easily bring forth some mundane items for consumption, it had no means whatsoever to access certain treasures.

Zhang Zhongjun picked up these two objects and, after curiously playing with them for a moment, asked the big frog: "Senior brother, what are these?"

Zhang Zhongjun was stunned, and the big frog was also dumbfounded: "What the hell! I actually have so many strange and unusual things in my belly? When did I collect these? Huh? What is that shiny thing? Why does it have an inexplicable allure to me? Wait! I haven't seen it clearly yet, don't come back!"

I don't understand, isn't this way of causing a nosebleed definitely more painful than biting one's finger? Why would this person choose to endure more pain rather than bite their finger?" The big frog shook its head in frustration while leaning on a metal baseball bat

More importantly, the number of soldiers can be increased, but there are limitations. One is the need for sufficient vitality, and the second is that regardless of how many are added, the total strength must not exceed one-third of the master's strength. It must never exceed this limit, otherwise, it will result in an explosion, necessitating a complete retraining from the beginning

As soon as the big green frog thought of that shimmering treasure that inexplicably attracted it, it fixed its gaze on Zhang Zhongjun, eagerly anticipating this fellow's continued upgrades

The principle of making the yellow beans was not mentioned; it was only stated that after the yellow beans absorb sufficient vital energy, they will automatically generate a soldier that moves according to the owner's thoughts, with combat power equal to one-third of the owner's. The stronger the owner, the stronger the soldier's combat power.

You are truly incredibly lucky! Just a moment ago, I mentioned that you wasted 99% of your vital energy, and now a treasure that requires a large amount of vital energy has appeared! This is just infuriating! Why don't I have such luck where my wishes come true!" The big green frog is now definitely filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Hehe, senior brother, I hit... Zhang Zhongjun was originally smiling, but then he suddenly looked up and exclaimed with excitement: "Wow! That's amazing!"

Then, the three statues suddenly stood at attention in unison, simultaneously raised their guns to thrust, then dropped their long spears to draw their swords and slash, and finally, at the same time, took up bows and arrows to shoot. This series of actions was executed in perfect harmony

"Senior Brother." Zhang Zhongjun pleaded pitifully.

Go to hell! The big green frog directly spat out a metal baseball bat, then conjured up a baseball. With one swing, it accurately struck Zhang Zhongjun's nose, and with a pop, blood gushed from his nose onto the two treasures.

Soon, the dense mist of vitality that was unable to spread beyond the jade platform due to the suppression of the formation surged in like a tornado, rapidly filling the body of the man and swiftly forming real skin and hair

When the nearly six Yuan beads of vital energy leaked by Zhang Zhongjun on the jade stone platform were completely absorbed, the big man had transformed into a fully formed entity, his muscles taut and rigid, standing there with an expressionless face, yet he appeared as if he were about to explode

The big frog spat out a root cigar, took a deep puff, and after blowing out a ring, said: "Kid, your luck is really damn good! Have you heard the story of turning beans into soldiers? These two things are it; that jade slip contains the techniques and precautions for practicing and controlling the spell of turning beans into soldiers, and those yellow beans are the seeds for turning beans into soldiers"

The reason is simple; the big frog that was struck by a punch tilted its head back and opened its mouth wide, spewing forth countless items like a fountain
