Ten Thousand Laws Pure Yuan Dao Body, Meeting Mi Fu
"Heaven Defier, Sky Howl, Illusory Heaven, Guardian Art me!" Zhao Xing summoned his Tian-generation battle pets to stand guard.
"Woof!" Howling Sky Dog immediately ran to stand guard.
"Woof!"
"Woof!"
Then two more barks were heard.
Zhao Xing was speechless. The Mountain Cat and the Mirage Sheep had both been led astray by the dog, and were even sticking their tongues out.
The three war beasts entered their alert positions, and Zhao Xing activated the warship's protective barrier.
What was he guarding against? Evil sectarian elements, of course.
Since the twenty-second year of the Jingxin Calendar, Liu Tianning issued a warning, and in the twenty-third year of the Jingxin Calendar, evil sects became active in the East Sea.
The coastal areas were places where the imperial court had relatively weak control.
This was especially true in the East Sea, because Pinghai Province emerged later than other prefectures.
Furthermore, the Earth Mirror is ineffective in many areas of the ocean, and its monitoring capabilities are much weaker compared to the inland regions. Except for particularly important shipping lanes, control over other areas is relatively weak. Otherwise, a envoy like Bai Yunwu, representing the aquatic tribes, wouldn't have emerged.
In the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth years of the Jingxin Calendar, the evil sects became increasingly active and began attacking the islands of the imperial court.
In particular, the evil cultivators from the sects that split off from the Azure Water Sect know the East Sea inside and out. They impersonate people from the Dao Academy, making them extremely difficult to guard against.
To maintain a low profile, Zhao Xing neither sought promotions nor broke through cultivation levels. This was because the evil sects had a cost threshold for their attacks; below a certain rank, it wasn't worth the effort to kill or plunder.
As the battle between the middle ranks intensified, in the twenty-sixth year of the Jingxin Calendar, even Dragon Nose Island, the closest island to Zhao Xing, was attacked by pirates.
But Zhao Xing's Twin Islands remained completely unaffected.
Because he is low-key and doesn't accept many orders each year, coupled with Evolution Five's good fortune, he hasn't encountered a single suicide attack in the past few years.
Now, however, he can no longer keep a low profile.
First, the mid-level battle is about to end, and the East Sea will be even more chaotic then. Even if he keeps a low profile, he will probably be affected, and the situation will change. Staying in the Sixth Rank realm will only bring trouble.
Secondly, Mi Fu has been found. Judging from the information Xia Jing has gathered, Mi Fu has been climbing the ranks of Fifth Grade Official Rank for so many years, and there is a high probability that he has created the "Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique".
To cultivate Pure Origin Soil, special treasures are needed in conjunction with the "Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique," but first, one must reach the Fifth Grade and practice this technique.
"Having returned from the Eternal Night Sea, I am now at the peak of the Heavenly Star Realm."
"During that time, he continuously purified his vital energy until the 25th year of the Jingxin Calendar when he was confident of breaking through, which was a year earlier than Long Xiao's time."
"In the twenty-fifth year of the Jingxin Calendar, the success rate of breakthroughs is 80%."
"In the twenty-sixth year of the Jingxin Calendar, my chances of breaking through are now absolutely certain," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Now, for me to break through is just a matter of a moment."
He was absolutely certain three years ago, so now breaking through is as easy as drinking water for him.
"The Fifth Grade rank is a crucial point. The body becomes pure and primordial, and every muscle, meridian, acupoint, and bone will have the ability to gather and disperse primordial energy."
"When breaking through to the Fifth Grade, many people will specialize in one path to create a pure primordial physique for themselves."
"For example, a martial artist's Frost Spirit Martial Body, Thunder Martial Body, and Vajra Body are all about engraving the Dao they have comprehended into every part of their body."
The terms "Dharma Body" and "Martial Body" vary depending on the profession, but they are all collectively referred to as "Tao Body".
For example, Long Xiao, at the Fifth Grade, is a condensed Geng Metal Pure Yuan Sword Body, which can also be called Geng Metal Dao Body.
Chen Shijie hasn't broken through yet, but he's skilled in the Fire Hell Earth Palace Art. If nothing unexpected happens, once he breaks through and condenses his power, he will become the Fire Hell Dao Body.
By imprinting his most proficient Dao into every part of his body with pure essence, Old Chen broke through to the Fifth Grade, and his own body became a Fire Hell Earth Palace!
"Buzz~"
Zhao Xing stood at the very top of the Tower Ship, and a rainbow bridge appeared above his head.
This is the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bridge at the Eighth Rank Realm, used to connect heaven and earth and absorb primordial energy.
Zhao Xing's Spirit Bridge carries a Daoist charm.
The seven elements of heaven and earth—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder—appeared on the Spirit Bridge, transforming into a rainbow bridge.
"Boom!"
The terrifying absorption force caused the surrounding energy to surge, forming a colorful vortex of energy.
The primordial energy of heaven and earth surged forth like a flood.
Normally, absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth requires slow refining, as the primordial energy between heaven and earth is multifaceted and not pure.
For example, the Astral Wind is essentially a kind of wind-driven energy, but it can only be absorbed and utilized by those who enter the Heavenly Star Realm, thus enabling them to fly in the Astral Wind.
The same principle applies to the Earthly Fiend.
Breaking through to the Pure Yuan Realm doesn't mean absorbing all kinds of Yuan Qi.
Zhao Xing's current unrestricted absorption is a way of verifying his own Dao!
"I practice three different schools of magic, and I am proficient in all kinds of spells."
"I have comprehended each of the Five Elements Wind-Thunder) to a high level of perfection."
"I want to condense the Fire Hell Dao Body; it can be done in an instant."
"However, I am much stronger than Old Chen. If I want to break through, I will become the Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body!" Zhao Xing thought to himself.
He has now mastered the advanced and perfected spells of the Heavenly Timing, Heavenly Timing, Earthly Advantage, and Self Schools.
Except for the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet, this technique has no concept of perfection; one can continue to cultivate it and eventually attain the Dao.
"Boom!"
A surge of vitality, successfully crossing the rainbow bridge.
At the same time, strange phenomena occurred.
Above the Rainbow Bridge, a Divine Valor Straw Puppet appeared. This was to verify the Way of Metal. If one had not comprehended the Way of Metal, absorbing it at this time would not be able to inscribe it, and would instead lead to failure in the breakthrough.
Then came Skyflight (Wind), Sacrificial Explosion (Fire), and Holy Shield (Earth).
Then came a pale blue phantom, which resembled Zhao Xing and was casting the Water Drop Art.
Another green phantom appeared, unleashing the Instant Primordial.
A purple phantom unleashed lightning magic.
All the magical arts that Zhao Xing had learned—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder—were gathered together.
All the Shennong Art he had learned in his life now surfaced, and if Wang Xuanyi were here, he would definitely be astonished.
This kid Sixth Rank, yet he's mastered so many spells from three different schools? And they're all high-level, perfected Daoist techniques?
"Buzz~"
Each phantom appeared and disappeared, falling into Zhao Xing's body.
In the blink of an eye, each Dao was engraved into the body.
Pure primordial energy, imbued with the Dao, permeates every part of the body.
"Boom!"
"Drip drip drip~"
"Whoosh~"
"Clang~"
"Pfft~"
Thunder, Rain Water, wind, and the sound of metal clashing all appeared within Zhao Xing's body.
Flames erupted from his body, and his hair grew wildly, soon dragging on the floor.
The Five Elements, in their pure essence, give rise to all laws!
The vital energy in his dantian, his meridians, his flesh and blood, and his bones were all undergoing a frenzied transformation, propelling Zhao Xing to an even higher realm!
"Woof!" "Woof!" "Woof!"
The Mountain Cat, the Azure Lion Dog, and the Spirit Illusion Goat all cried out.
That's terrifying!
They instinctively felt that their owner had become terrifying.
That's a sense of oppression on a life-level scale!
If the Mountain Cat has consumed so much Lingxiu, Zhao Xing will only consume even more.
The Mountain Cat has never eaten the heart of Dragon Whale.
The Mountain Cat entered the Pure Yuan Realm through the two paths of wind and thunder, while the Spirit Illusion Goat and the Azure Lion Dog each had a single path.
This is the difference between beasts and human cultivators. Beasts do not attain enlightenment; they rely entirely on the power of their bloodline, consume enough resources, and undergo nurturing and training with secret techniques to instinctively enter the Dao.
The strange phenomenon occurring on Zhao Xing's body at this moment was incomprehensible to the three war beasts, but they were greatly shocked.
After an unknown amount of time, the strange phenomenon finally disappeared.
The light emanating from Zhao Xing gradually faded, and he jumped from the top of the ship onto the deck.
After stretching his body, Zhao Xing had a sudden thought, and a bolt of lightning shot out from behind him without warning.
"Boom!"
Thunderbolts shot across the sea, creating a water column a hundred meters high.
" At the Fifth-Rank Pure Yuan Realm, spells can be cast without any initial stance; spells can be cast from any part of the body."
"Even if ordinary energy shackles are put around my neck, and I'm locked in handcuffs and leg irons, I can still use magic."
"Even if I lose an arm or a leg, it won't hinder my spellcasting," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The same applies to martial artists; they can release energy from any part of their body.
Of course, those martial arts techniques that rely on fists and feet to be effective will be greatly reduced.
But for sword cultivators, there are no obstacles at all.
When Yang An cut off his own hand, his strength was not actually diminished at all.
"Unless a doctor uses Unorthodox Life-and-Death Needles to seal all the meridians and acupoints in my body, and then uses poison to suppress my vital energy in my dantian."
"Otherwise, a prisoner like me would have slipped away on the way to detention."
"If I were to cultivate Pure Origin Soil, and could use even a sliver of my primordial energy, I could summon Plant Soldier with a mere thought to help me remove needles and unlock locks, making it impossible to defend against."
"Now that I possess the Ten Thousand Laws Pure Yuan Dao Body and the Pure Yuan Realm, I can perform high-level Beast Taming Techniques."
With a thought, Zhao Xing connected the Soul Contract in his Sea of Consciousness to the Mountain Cat.
"Cat, come here!"
"Meow?"
Mountain Cat, a kilometer away, was involuntarily pulled toward it by a force.
It then transformed into a streak of bluish-purple light and began to merge with Zhao Xing.
The soil in the Agricultural Official is Pure Origin Soil and can be used to cultivate Plant Soldier.
Beast tamers who reach the Fifth Grade naturally possess their own unique abilities, one of which is fusion.
However, the fusion must be between a human and a beast, both of whom must be at the Fifth-Rank Pure Yuan; the missing one will not work.
"Crackling and popping~"
After a flash of lightning, a cat-skin suit appeared on Zhao Xing's body.
It looked as if the Mountain Cat had turned into a human; only the triangular area of its face could still be identified as Zhao Xing.
Its hands and feet were completely covered in fluffy Mountain Cat fur.
"It looks like he's wearing a cat-skin coat."
With a thought, five claws suddenly extended from Zhao Xing's furry hand.
"Splash~" Zhao Xing waved his hand to create a water mirror and glanced at it.
"I can use all of the Mountain Cat's skills. It's like I've got a new skin. It seems to have a bit of an Orcish style."
"Only my eyes, nose, and mouth can identify me. My ears have turned into the shape of Mountain Cat. Hmm, my eyes look like they've been painted with eyeshadow. I'm starting to look a bit like a villain... Heaven Defier, let's do a second-stage transformation!"
Zhao Xing wasn't very satisfied with the First Tier of the combined possession, mainly because it wasn't cool enough.
"Roar!"
Zhao Xing let out a roar, and then bluish-purple secret patterns appeared on his body, rising in rings from the soles of his feet.
A moment later, his appearance completely changed.
First, the facial hair completely disappeared, revealing her true appearance.
The cat-skin coat has transformed into Mountain Cat armor.
A cat's head appeared on the helmet above their heads.
The scales on its body are not attached to its skin, but are hollowed out, shimmering with a captivating luster, with distinct lines and a metallic texture.
"Clang!"
The steel claws reappeared, and Zhao Xing looked up and smiled, "Our minds are united... that's it."
"Heaven Defier, dissolve the fusion."
A bright light shone from Zhao Xing's body, and the Mountain Cat transformed from its armored state back into its true form.
"Woof woof!" the Mountain Cat barked excitedly twice.
This is so much fun! I want to play again!
"You're a cat, can you stop barking like a dog?" Zhao Xing gave in and glared at Sky Howl.
It's all because of this Azure Lion Dog!
"Sky Howl, combine!"
"Illusory Heaven, merge!"
Zhao Xing then tried to combine with Sky Howl and Illusory Heaven.
It was subsequently lifted.
"Of the three sets of Beast Soul Armor— Azure Lion Dog, Mountain Cat, and Spirit Illusion—only the Mountain Cat's second-stage fusion is the coolest."
After the Azure Lion Dog Armor transforms into its second stage, it becomes black and red.
The Spirit Armor, after its second-stage transformation, is pink.
Let's not even talk about Spirit Illusion Goat; their combined form is absolutely adorable.
"During the Beast Competition, Beast Tamers will also be on the field. I wonder if I, a self-taught Beast Tamer, will be allowed to use my own magic."
Zhao Xing noticed that this rule wasn't mentioned in the rules, so he didn't know if it was allowed.
If it can be used, it will be a great advantage for him.
Normally, beast tamers know many spells, but they are mostly used to enhance their war beasts, while they themselves are relatively weak.
If I were allowed to use the Shennong Art, qualifying for the East Sea wouldn't be a problem, let alone qualifying for the Four Seas.
I'm afraid people will accuse me of breaking the rules or cheating.
It's not uncommon for a warrior to be a charioteer, but it's quite rare for Agricultural Official to be a charioteer.
Martial arts are nothing more than fists, feet, swords, and knives, but the Three Shennong Factions have so many spells, where do they have so much energy to learn this and that?
Of course, the vast majority of them are legitimate beast tamers.
It's rare to see someone as unconventional as myself.
"I'll ask Zhai Zhong another day," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Let's go back first."
Although the Millennial Climate Shift has not yet been found, Zhao Xing is not forcing it. Compared to preparing to open up the Pure Origin Soil, that can be put on hold.
Besides, Long Xiao is still helping him search, which is much more effective than him doing it all by himself.
On the 20th day of the third month of the 29th year of the Jingxin Calendar, Vernal Equinox.
Guangling Prefecture, Guangling Branch of the Li Fire Dao Academy.
"Phew~"
Zhao Xing walked out of the Fire Pond.
"Guangling Prefecture is damn far away; it took me half a month to get here."
The breakthrough was completed on the day of the Awakening of Awakening of Insects, and two days later we arrived at Twin Islands. It then took another thirteen days to reach Red Haze County in Guangling Prefecture.
The Li Fire Dao Academy) Borrowing Fire to Travel, and in the meantime, they must wait for the Fire Pond to be activated.
Zhao Xing made five transfers before completing the interstate trip.
This would have been unthinkable during the days when officials were just starting out.
If we travel by horse-drawn carriage, we probably won't be able to reach Guangling Prefecture in our entire lives.
"Brother Zhao, over here!"
As soon as I stepped out, I saw a tall figure waving from the waiting area outside the Fire Pond.
"Brother Wei." Zhao Xing walked over quickly. "Why did you come to the Dao Academy to pick me up in person? You're too Guest Qi."
The tall, handsome young man before us is named Wei Wuji, the direct descendant of the Duke of Duke of Wei.
He was the twelfth-generation descendant of Wei Zhongchun, the founding Duke of the State.
The current Duke of Wei of Wei is his grandfather.
Of course, Wei Wuji had more than forty brothers, and his father's generation had more than thirty. Whether they would be passed down to Wei Wuji was another matter.
But as a direct descendant, Wei Wuji still held considerable weight.
"My uncle is the governor of Red Haze County. I happened to be on holiday during the Vernal Equinox and had a two-week break, so I came here in person," Wei Wuji said with a smile. "This is your first time here, so I'm going to treat you to a good meal."
"Red Haze County isn't very fun. Come on, let's go to Guangling County, that's where the real fun is!"
"Brother Wei, please wait," Zhao Xing said. "I'm not here for leisure, but for important business. I need to go to the Star Ruins Realm immediately."
"So urgent?" Wei Wuji stopped in his tracks. "The Star Ruins Realm is desolate and the environment is harsh; there are hardly any people around."
He knew Zhao Xing wanted to go, and he thought Zhao Xing was just going to broaden his horizons, but he didn't expect him to be in such a hurry.
"I'm on my teacher's orders to visit an old friend." Zhao Xing raised Liu Tianning's banner.
"Alright, since it is your master's order, we should do it immediately." Wei Wuji said solemnly, "Let's go find my uncle now."
Liu Tianning's name is also useful in Guangling Prefecture, at least for some of the older people.
Because Liu Tianning once accomplished great things at the Xunyang River in Guangling County, his legend is still circulating among the people after a hundred years.
Chen Xuan, the prefect of Red Haze County, was a Fourth Grade official.
Eighty percent of Guangling Prefecture is rich in natural resources.
The Heavenly Timing is stable and the land is fertile.
Even if farmers casually throw rice seedlings into the fields, they can still harvest a lot of grain. Moreover, the Yuan Rice here can be harvested three times a year. In terms of stable and abundant Favorable Timing and Location, Guangling Prefecture can rank first among the Nineteen Provinces.
In such places, the rank of prefectural governor is that of Fourth Grade official, and that of prefectural governor is that of Second Rank official.
Of course, there is a big difference between a purely civil Second Rank Civil Official and a military Second Rank official.
Second Rank Ritual Cultivator has crossed national borders may not be as powerful as a Fourth Grade.
Because the rituals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not understood by the barbarians, the power of magic was greatly reduced, and some spells were simply unusable.
The same applies to Priest. This is why, Pacifying Barbarians War, temples must be built first when repairing cities; otherwise, certain professions will become Shuidao.
However, Chen Xuan, this Ritual Cultivator, looked imposing and strong, clearly indicating that he had practiced martial arts.
During Emperor Jing's reign, things were alright, but during Wu Emperor's reign, many people Ritual Cultivator also cultivated martial arts.
If you really can't reason with people, you might just roll up your sleeves and grab a knife to kill them.
"Chen'an, why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Xuan came out from the backyard. He wasn't wearing his official robes, just a white training uniform, and there was sweat on his forehead.
"I cannot disobey my master's orders," Zhao Xing said, cupping his hands in greeting. "My vacation time is also limited, so I would be grateful if you could grant me this favor, Uncle."
How could Old Master Zhao not be anxious? Mi Fu had already been an official in Returning Ruins City for four years.
Based on his behavior over the past ten years or so, he never stayed in one place for long before moving on to another. If I don't hurry up and find someone else, this person might run away again.
"Alright." Chen Xuan nodded. "The entrance to the Star Ruins Realm opens once every seven days, and tomorrow is the opening day. The Red Haze County Transportation Department will send some supplies in. With this warrant, you can go in with the Transportation Department's ship."
"Thank you, Uncle." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in thanks.
As dusk approached and the weather turned freezing cold, Fire Pond lit up one after another in the Returning Ruins City.
The ground was covered with a foot of snow, yet it continued to fall from the sky.
The gray sky was heavy and thick, as if it were about to fall down along with the snowflakes.
Many people carried pots, pans, and utensils, and walked along the streets and alleys to the Fire Pond to cook.
What is Returning Ruins City Returning Ruins City? It is a city where the five elements of primordial energy are not manifest.
Especially in winter, the earth's fire is hidden deep within, and apart from the few large Fire Pond in Returning Ruins City, it is impossible to light a fire anywhere else.
This small world is nearing the end of its life, and the rules of heaven and earth are beginning to decay.
Even if you carry a torch out of the city, it will go out the instant you leave the city.
"Dinner's ready!"
"Brother Wang, what dishes did you cook today?"
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"Sweetie, just wait a little longer, it'll be our turn soon."
"Who stole my pot? You son of a bitch!"
"Don't push, line up properly, or don't blame me for making you eat undercooked rice!"
"Sir, please have a bowl of soup."
"Go away, you don't even have enough to drink at home, I'm on duty right now."
"..."
Because cooking could only be done at a fixed Fire Pond, the people of Returning Ruins City had to bring their own pots, pans, and utensils to the designated place to cook, and then return home after eating.
At this moment, an elderly official, surrounded by a retinue, was inspecting the surrounding Fire Pond.
His name was Mi Fu, the prefect of Returning Ruins City, a Fifth Grade official. Despite being Civil Official, Mi Fu had a hideous scar on his face.
Seeing a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes, escorted by servants, cut in line in front of a mother and daughter, Mi Fu kicked him.
"Fan Laosan, it's you again. Cutting in line, you son of a bitch! Get the hell out of my way!" Mi Fu cursed.
"Huh? Lord Mi? Aren't you in the east of the city?" Fan Laosan looked bewildered. He had just received a message from Black Crow saying that Mi Fu was leading a group to patrol the east of the city, which was why he dared to lead his clansmen to join the queue in the west of the city.
The Fan family was a noble family in Returning Ruins City, neither too big nor too small.
Originally, the Fan family had their own Fire Pond.
But ever since Mi Fu arrived, he has redistributed the Fire Pond of all the major families.
This made it so that even if he, the count, wanted to have a hot meal, he had to queue up with the commoners at the Fire Pond.
"East of the city? Oh, you have quite a keen sense of smell." Mi Fu sneered. "Let me tell you, that guy in the east of the city is also me."
"Your Excellency possesses such magical abilities?" The third son of the Fan family was taken aback.
"I know a lot more than that," Mi Fu said, holding a torch and approaching Fan Laosan, who was slumped on the ground. "If I said I had three heads and six arms, would you believe me?"
"I believe you." Old Fan nodded repeatedly.
"I didn't even show it to you, how could you believe me? Aren't you deceiving me? Om?" Under the flickering flames, Mi Fu's face appeared somewhat ferocious.
Fan Laosan quickly replied, "Then, I don't believe you?"
"Don't believe me?" Mi Fu smiled, and then two more heads grew from the two ends of his neck. Then, all three heads suddenly cried out, "Wow!"
"Ah—" Fan Laosan was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.
Seeing him like this, Mi Fu clapped his hands, put his two heads away, and stood up with satisfaction.
"Get up, stop pretending to be dead." Mi Fu kicked Fan Laosan a couple of times.
But they found that Fan Laosan was motionless; he had truly fainted.
"You're utterly useless, calling yourself the Hongyi Earl of Hongyi. What a waste of your ancestors' reputation." Mi Fu clapped his hands and then grabbed the fourth son of the Fan family.
"Fan Laosi, you..."
"I believe you, sir!" Fan Laosi was also Seventh Grade martial artist, but at this moment he was as obedient as a little chick, nodding repeatedly.
"Who asked you that?" Mi Fu said. "After you've cooked your meal, take half out and share it with the villagers."
"Sir," Fan Laosi said with difficulty, "We're just cutting in line, and we didn't bring much food..."
"Did I perform magic for you for nothing? Are you going to do it or not?!" Mi Fu's expression changed in an instant. "If you don't, your family won't be eating today."
"Do it, do it, do it!" Seeing Mi Fu's eyes bulging out and him showing signs of transforming again, Fan Lao Si was completely distraught.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "The Fan family is covering all the neighbors' dinners tonight!"
"Wow, thank you so much, Mr. Fan!"
"Thank him my foot! You should thank Lord Mi!"
"Then Guest Qi!"
"They're taking advantage of the big spenders!"
The surrounding villagers were immediately overjoyed.
Seeing this, Mi Fu loosened Fan Laosi's neck, smoothed out his wrinkles, and said with a smile, "Alright, thank you, Master Fan. Don't cut in line again."
"Yes, yes, yes." Old Fan nodded and bowed, they really wouldn't dare to do it again.
Surrounded by the crowd, Mi Fu continued his inspection.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Look towards a certain direction in the sky.
"Such a powerful aura! Fifth-Rank Pure Yuan Realm cultivator, yet possessing such a magnificent inner world?" Mi Fu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Subsequently, from various parts of the city, a clone shot into the sky.
Five miles Returning Ruins City, a cargo airship slowly descended.
"Swish swish swish swish~"
One after another, figures broke through the air and arrived, a total of thirty-six Mi Fu, blocking the flying boat.
"Halt!" Mi Fu shouted. "Who are you?!"
Zhao Xing emerged from the flying boat, glanced at Mi Fu, and then cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Lord Mi, I am from the Red Haze County Transportation Department, here to deliver supplies."
"You dare to bluff me?" Mi Fu sneered. "Although today is the day the Transportation Department distributes supplies, only the three major cities of Angelica City, Clearwater City, and Wufang City will receive them."
"This is not to give Returning Ruins City time to deliver supplies."
"Moreover, when did the Red Haze County Transportation Department acquire such a powerful Agricultural Official to deliver goods?"
Zhao Xing activated his Heavenly Eye and looked at Mi Fu's clone.
Mi Fu also True Self Straw Man Art, but he did not use the Willow-Woven Straw Man Art, but rather the Wu Clan Straw Puppet, which was created by Wu Cheng, the founding Grand Minister of Agriculture.
Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "Lord Mi has a good eye. I am indeed not from the Red Haze County Transportation Department."
"However, I am indeed here to deliver supplies. If you don't believe me, look, there isn't a single weapon on this ship."
Mi Fu glanced at him, then asked, "And who are you?"
Zhao Xing straightened his clothes and suddenly said with a fanatical expression, "I am Zhao Xing, courtesy name Chen'an. I have heard of Lord Mi's deeds and admire him sincerely."
"Hearing that you suffered unfair treatment and were exiled to Returning Ruins City breaks my heart!"
"I have the utmost respect for people like Mr. Mi, and I came all this way just to admire your brilliance!"
Something came up and I'll update more tomorrow.
