"Golden Thunder Locks Origin, Bind!" Han Li brought his hands together and shouted loudly.

Instantly, the golden platform shone brightly, and a golden thunder pillar, as thick as a calf, shot into the sky, directly hitting the dome above. A burst of golden electric light split open from it.

The two mother beans were located in the center of the golden thunder pillar, and hundreds of electric arcs shot out from them, transforming into a golden electric net that enveloped all the scattered beans.

"Crackling" sounds rang out loudly!

Within the electric net, strands of golden electric filaments, like slender branches, connected all the beans together. The golden thunder pillar below the mother beans resembled the main trunk of a tree, making the whole thing look like a small golden thunder tree.

The wisps of spiritual power flowing from the spirit stones on the ground flowed along the trunk and branches of the thunder tree, entering each bean. The thunder patterns engraved on them suddenly lit up, shining brightly.

Looking at the soldier beans hanging all over the thunder tree, like laden fruits, a hint of joy appeared on Wang Yu's face.

He took a deep breath, changed his hand seals again, and shouted:

"Engrave Thunder True Pattern, Arise!"

As this sound was uttered, the magic circle on the ground trembled. On the array patterns, many nodes began to light up with dark light, connecting together to form an extremely strange beast-shaped pattern.

Its shape resembled an ox, but it had dragon horns on its head. Judging from its body proportions, it was quite large. Its round abdomen was covered with ancient runes, from which bursts of intense thunderous fluctuations emanated.

Surprisingly, this beast only had one thick leg growing beneath it. At first glance, it looked a bit like a black giant hammer, and behind it was a whip-like tail.

In fact, this beast was called "Lei Kui", a well-known and extraordinary spirit beast in the Immortal World. It was born with the ability to control the thunder and lightning of the Nine Heavens. It often struck its abdomen with its long tail, producing earth-shattering thunder, which could dispel yin spirits and evil beings, and was feared by all ghosts.

Upon seeing this pattern appear, Wang Yu immediately focused his gaze and exhaled softly.

He knew that the most crucial moment in refining the bean soldiers had arrived.

He crossed his hands in front of him, forming a new hand seal, and began to chant incantations.

As the chanting sounds rang out, the Lei Kui runes on the ground shone brightly, rising up and passing through all the beans, reaching the top of the thunder and lightning curtain.

Seeing this, the blue light in Wang Yu's eyes intensified, and strands of crystalline spiritual power shot out from between his eyebrows, striking into the golden thunder tree. His hands also moved back and forth in front of him, constantly drawing in the void.

As his movements changed, all the beans hanging on the golden thunder tree began to tremble slightly. Dark light began to appear around the thunder patterns on them, and the rune engraving officially began.

Outside the magic circle, Wang Yu's hands moved extremely quickly, dazzling the eyes. However, the black patterns that gradually appeared on the beans within the magic circle were extremely slow to form, almost like snails crawling, accumulating little by little.

Rune engraving was the most mentally taxing. If other ordinary True Immortal Realm cultivators were to attempt it, they would mostly engrave the runes on all the beans in batches, in order to reduce the depletion caused by engraving the array patterns.

Although this method was feasible, it had a disadvantage.

Because not all the beans were refined in the same batch, except for the batch of beans refined at the same time as the mother beans, the connection between the remaining bean soldiers and the mother beans would be much weaker.

This would not have much impact usually, and there would be no problems even when using them for combat. However, if they were used to set up a magic circle like the Yellow Turban Bean Soldiers of that year, differences would appear. The reactions of those bean soldiers would be slightly slower.

Wang Yu's spiritual sense was far stronger than ordinary people, so he did not divide these beans into batches, but chose to engrave them all at once.

Time passed bit by bit, and a month quickly passed.

Wang Yu devoted himself to it wholeheartedly, focusing all his attention on the engraving, completely unaware of the passage of time.

His hands moved from both sides, merging in the center in front of him. The Lei Kui runes on all the beans in the magic circle also completed the final engraving, emitting a burst of eye-catching black light.

Seeing this, the blue light in Wang Yu's eyes slowly faded, revealing a hint of fatigue, but a smile hung on his lips.

The light of the magic circle in the secret chamber gradually dimmed, and all the golden electric arcs began to gradually converge, condensing towards the two mother beans. The layer of thunder and lightning curtain that enveloped the outside also disappeared.

After all the thunder and lightning converged, the golden thunder tree also disappeared, and all the beans slowly fell, returning to the golden platform.

Wang Yu took down the yellow gourd from his waist, raised his hand and patted the bottom. Immediately, a yellow light lit up at the mouth of the gourd, and a suction force emanated from it, absorbing all the beans into it.

He did not put the two mother beans into the gourd, but instead placed them in his bosom.

Then, he exhaled a long breath, took out a cyan pill, swallowed it, and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.

The next day.

In a snow valley in the territory of Scarlet Cloud Peak, a streak of cyan light descended from the sky, and Wang Yu's figure appeared out of thin air.

He scanned the valley and found a relatively open and flat area, and flew over there.

After landing, he reached out and took off the gourd from his waist. After silently chanting for a while, a yellow light immediately shone brightly at the mouth of the gourd. Dark yellow beans shot out like raindrops, falling towards the ground.

Only the sounds of explosions, like rain hitting banana leaves, continued to ring out. All the beans that landed on the ground shone brightly, instantly transforming into bean soldier armored warriors, each about ten feet tall.

Their facial features were somewhat similar to the Yellow Turban Warriors of that year, but they had an extra set of armor on their bodies, engraved with thunder and lightning runes. Hundreds of them stood in a neat square formation, looking quite imposing.

Wang Yu flicked his finger, and a streak of cyan sword Qi shot out, striking a Thunder Armor Soldier in the chest.

A loud bang!

The Thunder Armor Soldier was knocked backward, crashing heavily onto the ground and making a large pit.

The next moment, with a "swoosh", the Thunder Armor Soldier shot out of the pit and flew back.

The armor on its chest had been pierced, and a wound had been cut on its chest, but it did not seem deep and did not affect its movements in the slightest.

Seeing this, Wang Yu nodded slightly.

Although he had only used about one percent of his supernatural power with that sword Qi, even most Great Ascension Stage cultivators might not be able to withstand it. Now, it had only slightly injured this Thunder Armor Soldier, which meant that the defense of this bean soldier was beyond his expectations.

Wang Yu pondered for a moment, then moved his mind. The Thunder Armor Soldiers immediately rushed towards the depths of the valley, and golden electric light appeared on their armor. Their speed was incredibly fast, like golden lightning bolts, many times stronger than the previous Yellow Turban Warriors.

Once they entered the depths of the valley, the Thunder Armor Soldiers immediately formed pairs and began to fight each other.

Rumbling sounds rang out, like countless thunderclaps, like ten thousand horses galloping.

The entire valley rumbled and shook, and the accumulated snow on the nearby peaks disintegrated and collapsed.

After observing for a while, Wang Yu discovered that their fighting style was very similar to that of the Yellow Turban Warriors. They did not know how to retreat, and fought desperately.

However, one difference was that the recovery ability of these Thunder Armor Soldiers was obviously stronger. As long as they were not completely defeated, some injuries such as broken arms and pierced chests could basically be quickly restored to their original state, which surprised Wang Yu again.

Afterwards, Wang Yu also controlled the bean soldiers to set up several magic circles, but the effect was not very ideal. He knew that it was because he had not practiced enough times, so he did not care too much.

The strength that these bean soldiers were currently displaying had already greatly surprised him.

Wang Yu then collected all the bean soldiers and returned to his cave.

After returning to his cave, he entered the secret chamber and turned his hand over. A metal ball immediately appeared in his palm.

"Crab friend..." Wang Yu whispered.

After a moment, several deep ravines cracked on the golden ball, and metal limbs protruded from it. After a series of metallic collisions, it transformed into a palm-sized golden crab.

"Wang Yu friend summoned me out, I wonder what for?" The Crab Taoist looked up at Wang Yu, asking.

"It's nothing, I just obtained a set of magic circles from somewhere some time ago that can integrate bean soldiers and puppets, and I want to discuss it with you." Wang Yu said.

"Wang Yu friend wants to fuse the bean soldiers with that immortal puppet? To be honest, this method is not suitable for immortal puppets that lack a core." The Crab Taoist shook his head immediately upon hearing this.

"Crab friend, don't rush to draw a conclusion, let's take a look at this mother bean first?" Wang Yu smiled and said.

He turned his other hand over, and a yellow bean the size of a silkworm bean immediately appeared in his palm, engraved with Lei Kui beast patterns and inlaid with golden electric patterns.

Wang Yu picked up the mother bean and placed it next to the Crab Taoist.

The Crab Taoist made a light "Eh" sound, and immediately circled around the mother bean, looking at it. Then, he raised his body, and his pair of small golden eyes stared at Wang Yu, saying:

"This... actually has both earth and thunder attributes at the same time, you want to..."

"That's right, the reason why you failed to fuse with the puppet before was because the attributes were not compatible. But now, with this mother bean as a regulator, there may be a glimmer of hope." Wang Yu took over the conversation and continued.

"This is indeed a different approach... Can I see the fusion magic circle?" The Crab Taoist pondered slightly and asked.

Wang Yu did not speak, and directly took out the jade slip and placed it over. The Crab Taoist raised a crab claw and clamped it on.

After a moment, he released his crab claw and turned to Wang Yu, solemnly saying:

"Wang Yu friend, my previous thunder array was a slow simmer over a gentle fire, a gradual and subtle effort. But this magic circle is like cooking oil over a raging fire, requiring a quick success. Once it fails, this priceless mother bean will definitely be destroyed, and I and that immortal puppet will likely suffer damage as well. Have you really thought about trying it?"
