The spell of scattering beans to create soldiers was a Mao Shan Daoist technique, but in practical application, it wasn't as powerful as one might imagine.
The mountain of rice formed by the millet grains was the so-called altar, and once the altar was destroyed, the spell would fail. Therefore, this kind of sorcery was usually performed in the secret chambers of the Daoist sect's main altar, requiring many guards to protect it, making it hardly an efficient spell.
On the way, Qin Yexuan was explaining some basic Daoist principles to Sun Qinglu.
Sun Qinglu knew this was a rare opportunity, wishing he could engrave every word his master said into his mind.
Wang Jiaqian, however, was dismissive: "Times are progressing, but the materials for casting spells are still the same. According to me, why must we use millet and beans? Can't we use new modern materials?"
Qin Yexuan stopped.
Wang Jiaqian felt a bit awkward: "What's wrong? Did I say something ridiculous?"
"No!" Qin Yexuan's eyes flickered. "It seems my mind has also become rigid. I've never thought of this before."
After all, he came from an old tradition. Those Daoist arts had been passed down for thousands of years, and many rituals and spellcasting materials were fixed.
Wang Jiaqian's words were shocking but opened up a new world.
Qin Yexuan looked at the beautiful teacher: "Teacher Wang, what materials do you think would be more suitable?"
Wang Jiaqian was startled. Thinking that this young student possessed Daoist magic and his disciples were all super big shots, she felt a little unconfident: "I can say, but, but if I say something wrong, don't laugh at me."
"Never, I am your student."
You even used "you."
Wang Jiaqian showed a hint of pride: "Let's start with the 'gathering sand to form a mountain.' Silicon carbide can be used instead."
"What is silicon carbide?" Qin Yexuan was a bit embarrassed.
Sun Qinglu quickly explained: "It's the moissanite sold online, similar to diamonds, very strong. Teacher Wang's words make a lot of sense. Using moissanite for the altar would definitely not be easily destroyed."
Wang Jiaqian became even more interested: "As for the beans, we have a new foaming gel developed in our school's laboratory. A piece the size of a fingernail will burst into tens of thousands of gel spheres upon encountering air."
She gestured: "For example, a piece the size of a matchbox could form at least two million small spheres."
This was the marvel of chemical reactions.
Qin Yexuan's eyes changed slightly: "Scattering beans to create soldiers... a million-strong army!"
Sun Qinglu scratched his head: "If we add certain chemical components to the gel, we can make two types of colloids, and when they collide, they can generate electricity..."
Qin Yexuan was greatly surprised: "Qinglu, you know quite a lot."
Sun Qinglu felt shy: "When I was ordered to go undercover at university by the Daoist sect, I specifically self-studied some courses. Maybe I'm more inclined towards science subjects. I'm interested in both physics and chemistry, especially new material science..."
Qin Yexuan waved his hand and pondered for a moment: "After we finish here, you and Teacher Wang will sign up for the laboratory. In the future, I'll help you set up a dedicated laboratory."
Sun Qinglu was greatly surprised: "Master, I want to learn the skill of demon extermination from you, not really do research."
"Wrong! This is the best way to learn Daoist magic!"
Qin Yexuan smiled: "Using new materials to perform Daoist spells, it's truly brilliant. I never thought of it before."
As he spoke, they had already followed the route formed by green beans to the outside of a delicate apartment.
There was a nice small courtyard here, located near the city's central business park. The environment was beautiful and the transportation was convenient. It was clearly the most suitable place for keeping a mistress.
However, noisy sounds kept coming from the small courtyard. Sun Qinglu saw several bodyguards in black lying motionless on the ground through the gap in the door, and his eyelids twitched: "Someone broke in and injured people!"
Qin Yexuan reached out and pressed his hand on the iron gate.
The iron gate, locked from the inside, burst open with a roar. Inside the small building, a woman was crying for help in panic.
Several men, with their heads covered and carrying clubs, were surrounding a young woman who was holding a pair of twins in her arms.
The masked men turned their heads and looked at the three of them, stunned.
Qin Yexuan's eyes flashed as he stared at the leader: "Li Chengfeng! You look ridiculous with your head covered."
Li Chengfeng, the chief bodyguard and security captain of Madam Li Fengzhi.
The man pulled off his hood, his eyes ferocious: "Good kid, it's you again!"
Qin Yexuan looked at the young woman: "This must be Sun Yongan's mistress. Not bad, the Sun family also has a pair of twins. Qinglu, come and meet your half-brothers."
Sun Qinglu was speechless with astonishment. Wang Jiaqian hid behind Qin Yexuan and peeked out: "Oh, I know her. Isn't this Sun Yongan's former secretary? She accompanied Sun Yongan to a commercial event last time."
Wang Jiaqian had been in the modeling circle and appeared in commercial magazines, so she recognized Sun Yongan's secretary.
Li Chengfeng, now panicked, looked around and gritted his teeth: "Kill them all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his subordinates threw away their clubs and pulled out their knives.
Qin Yexuan sneered and stomped heavily on the ground.
With a deafening roar, the delicate bluestone ground directly caved in, and the opening of the underground sewer cracked. Those men carrying knives fell into the sunken sewer without even a scream.
A foul odor wafted over. Qin Yexuan flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind swept away the stench.
Li Chengfeng's iron bar slipped from his grasp, his legs trembling as he watched the terrifying scene.
This, this was just the power of him stomping his foot?
In an instant, Qin Yexuan appeared before him and looked at him: "Of all the bodyguards I've seen, you are the most useless, idiotic, and worthless one!"
Swish!
Qin Yexuan took the iron bar from Li Chengfeng's hand.
He looked relaxed, flicked the iron bar in his hand, and the heavy bar stretched out like pulled noodles, transforming in Qin Yexuan's hand.
This time, even the woman was stunned.
The iron bar turned into noodles, then into an iron ball, and finally, Qin Yexuan skillfully wove it into a pair of handcuffs, emitting red hot smoke, directly locking the stunned Li Chengfeng.
The scorching chains made Li Chengfeng scream like a newborn child.
Qin Yexuan clapped his hands: "Who sent you?"
Li Chengfeng, in agony, struggled: "It, it was Madam!"
Sun Qinglu roared from the side: "No, it definitely wasn't Mom who sent you, Mom isn't that kind of person."
Qin Yexuan suppressed Sun Qinglu, who was about to lose control, and stepped on Li Chengfeng's head: "Are you still playing mind games at this time? Do we get scared by the mention of 'Madam'? It was Young Master Sun who sent you!"
