Have you heard my story?

Faced with this sudden "admiration," Mi Fu looked at Zhao Xing with some suspicion.

He didn't recognize Zhao Xing's face, nor was he familiar with the name.

"Of course!" Zhao Xing replied with the air of a devoted fan. "Your glorious deeds could fill three days and three nights."

Zhao Xing began to recount the deeds of Mi Fu.

He was prepared and didn't talk about things too far in the future, lest Mi Fu himself forget them.

He didn't mention anything too close, lest Mi Fu feel like he was being watched and become suspicious.

The content should not be too detailed or too brief; it should be slightly exaggerated to fit the perspective of a devoted fan.

"In the 259th year of the Renovation Era Calendar, you served as an official in Longjing County, Guangling Prefecture for three years. During that time, you dug 46 canals, moved 7 mountains, and reclaimed 5 million mu of fertile land for the people of Longjing County. Later, due to a conflict with the local prefectural magistrate, you were impeached by him. He nitpicked and was dismissed from your post and sent back to your hometown. Such behavior by the Longjing County is simply utterly immoral!"

Mi Fu unconsciously raised his chin, but then waved his hand and said, "It's not even five million mu. I was demoted and sent back to my hometown. That son of a bitch didn't fare well either; he was demoted two ranks as well."

Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "In the 263rd year of the Renovation Era Calendar, you returned to Guangyuan County Yuan Pin Province took office as the Registered Field Magistrate of Bright Lake County. You investigated and found two million mu of land that wealthy households had concealed. You also promoted the conversion of farmland back to forest, closed the mountains for four years, and regulated the waterways, so that Minghu Lake could restore its function of water storage and flood control. In just three years, the land tax of Bright Lake County and the grain stored in the Grand Granary were restored to the level of the early Renovation Era Calendar."

"This is a move that benefits all the people. You are an honest and upright official. The local powerful and influential people are extremely despicable, but they can do nothing about you. They can only buy your position and transfer you away. It is said that when you left office, thousands of people saw you off for more than ten miles, wishing they could have witnessed the grand occasion."

Mi Fu unconsciously puffed out his chest. Although Zhao Xing's words were still somewhat exaggerated and the numbers were not very accurate, his words truly resonated with him.

"... In the first year of the Jingxin Calendar, I heard that on your way to join the army, you encountered the Profound Heaven Sect causing trouble..."

"It wasn't to join the army, nor was it the first year of the reign, but the third year of the Jingxin Calendar. I went to assist the Liangshan Army," Mi Fu recalled. "Hmph, those Profound Heaven Demon, how dare they kidnap my subordinates! How could I let them get away with this?"

"Logically, you should have been credited with something, so why were you demoted?"

Zhao Xing poured wine for Mi Fu. By this time, the two had changed their location to chat and arrived at the government office in the city.

"That commander of the Liangshan Army is truly useless. He failed to capture the bandit leader and instead blamed me, saying that I was incompetent and let the bandits escape."

Mi Fu downed his drink in one gulp, then casually wiped his mouth. "How could I tolerate such a despicable person? He was already being ostracized by his colleagues anyway, either to be transferred or demoted. I simply hung him up and gave him a good beating."

"Hehe, back then I had already learned Transformation of Seasons Art and made him have a dog's nose."

"Hahaha, what a corrupt official! That's satisfying! I salute Lord Mi!"

"Hahaha, drink!"

Mi Fu put down his bowl; by then, the two had been drinking for almost half an hour.

The atmosphere became increasingly relaxed, but Mi Fu remained somewhat wary. He looked at Zhao Xing and asked:

"Chen'an, where are you from?"

"To be honest, Lord Mi, I am from Nanyang County Pinghai Province."

"Oh?" Mi Fu was taken aback. "That's quite far."

He had never been to Pinghai Province, so how did Zhao Xing know about him?

Zhao Xing was prepared. He cupped his hands and said, "I have a good friend named Wei Wuji in Red Haze County of Guangling Prefecture. He is a direct descendant of the Duke of Wei."

"Some of my elders also served in the Shangluo Academy. After hearing about Lord Mi's deeds, I was filled with admiration and inquired about him in many ways. The more I learned, the more I felt that you were a genius of our time and that you should never be exiled to a place like Returning Ruins City."

"Haha, I don't care where I am." Mi Fu didn't care about his situation at all.

After chatting for a while, he completely let down his guard against Zhao Xing.

Mi Fu himself believed that he had nothing to offer that could be exploited.

If it were an enemy from before who sent an assassin, they wouldn't have gone so far as to target a Marquis so openly and brazenly to harm him.

In fact, Mi Fu was quite famous in several major prefectures of Guangling Prefecture and Yuan Pin Province.

The reason we couldn't find it before was mainly because the land of the Nineteen Provinces was too vast; Pinghai Province alone was larger than the Earth.

In addition, Mi Fu's fame was limited to the prefecture, and because he frequently moved around, his fame would diminish after a few years or even a decade.

Of course, it was also related to the fact that Zhao Xing didn't have many connections at the time. Xia Jing was only a seventh or eighth-rank official. He suddenly went to another state to find someone, and Zhao Xing didn't say what he wanted to do. He just asked around casually, so the search was naturally slow.

"Lord Mi, let me toast you again." Zhao Xing raised his glass.

"Haha, good." Mi Fu picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp before asking, "And what's the purpose of this next glass?"

Zhao Xing said, "This cup is to toast Lord Mi for his fearlessness in the face of power and wealth."

"I've heard that Master Mi's paintings are exceptional, and that the Sulin Royal Mansion in Yuan Pin Province once invited him to paint, offering a reward of one million taels of silver, but you refused. Is that true?"

Mi Fu shook his head. "Sulin King didn't offer a million in reward money at all, but that has nothing to do with money."

"Oh? Why are you refusing? This would also promote your reputation," Zhao Xing asked.

Mi Fu picked up his wine cup and scoffed, "Fame? Do you even know why the Sulin Royal Mansion summoned me?"

"I would like to hear the details."

Mi Fu finished his drink in one gulp and slammed the wine cup on the table. "Back then, that bastard Sulin King wanted me to go and celebrate his grandson's birthday."

"Hmph, his grandson was only fifteen years old at the time, yet he sent officials from all walks of life to wish him a long life—it's utterly absurd!"

"This move is nothing more than Sulin King's way of demonstrating his authority and eliminating dissidents."

Zhao Xing nodded. According to the traditional customs of the Great Zhou, it is usually the younger generation who wishes an elder a long life.

Mi Fu was already a hundred years old at the time. How could it not be absurd for him to write a congratulatory message for a fifteen-year-old child and also ask him to paint a gift?

This is similar to calling a deer a horse; it's purely insulting and used to demonstrate one's authority.

Even after a long time, Mi Fu was still not satisfied.

So he pulled Zhao Xing to another place. "It's pitch black here, let's go drink somewhere else."

Swish~

The two of them rode together on the clouds, flying from the government office to another place.

Zhao Xing thought Mi Fu was going to take him to his own residence, but unexpectedly he flew to the Fan Residence in the south of the city.

Upon entering the Fan Residence, Mi Fu immediately instructed his servants to bring wine and dishes.

The head of the Fan Residence family seemed to be used to this kind of thing, and obediently prepared the banquet in the hall.

Zhao Xing didn't ask any further questions about why Mi Fu had brought him here.

Because Mi Fu had a rather eccentric personality.

"Don't be fooled by how well-behaved these guys seem; they're all ruthless characters." Mi Fu pointed to the retreating head of the Fan Residence family.

"Returning Ruins City is a place where convicted officials and criminals were exiled. Before I came here, the local officials were not as influential as the criminals."

"The temple will not be set up in the Star Ruins Realm to avoid losing its divine power if it is closed."

"I often send clones to reside permanently in these guys' residences."

Zhao Xing nodded. The Star Ruins Realm was like a prison. Many officials and nobles were exiled here, and they multiplied and multiplied, resulting in many descendants of criminals.

They can no longer be considered Great Zhou. However, if they have no criminal record after several generations, they will have the opportunity to become citizens of the Zhou Dynasty again.

Mi Fu's method was to use True Self Straw Puppet to act as a watchdog for the Yin Spirit. The straw effigy would stay in the mansion and not move, but if you dared to do something bad, you would have to think about whether you could hide it from Mi Fu's eyes.

Zhao Xing also understood why Old Master Mi had brought him here; he simply wanted to see if he was truly a "like-minded person."

If he disagrees with Mi Fu's approach, the previous communication will be greatly diminished, and he might even be turned away by Mi Fu.

"Lord Mi's method is truly ingenious. With just a straw effigy, he has made these corrupt officials behave themselves."

"Haha, Chen'an understands me." Mi Fu laughed happily.

For the next two weeks, Zhao Xing stayed in Returning Ruins City.

He did nothing but treat Mi Fu to good food and drink and then chat with him.

Mi Fu, on the other hand, found himself increasingly happy as they chatted.

It was quite a strange feeling to find that there was such a junior in Pinghai Province who admired him so much.

In addition, Zhao Xing was very much to his liking.

Whether discussing the principles of Agricultural Official, painting, or Music Dao, Zhao Xing could respond appropriately and offered insightful perspectives.

Zhao Xing wasn't just praising him haphazardly; his words were genuinely meaningful.

After eating and drinking together for half a month, Mi Fu suddenly felt as if he had met a kindred spirit too late.

And Zhao Xing's praise was not insincere.

In fact, he knew more about Mi Fu than he knew about Liu Tianning.

In the original plan, Zhao Xing was to become a student of Mi Fu, not Liu Tianning.

Mi Fu holds a very high position in the hearts of players.

How tall is it?

Mi Fu is known as the "Grandmaster of Commoners" among players of the Agricultural Official.

Because of Mi Fu's Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique, players of the Agricultural Official can unlock the Pure Origin Soil ahead of time.

In the Vital Energy Era, the spiritual energy items needed to cultivate the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique were very precious, but after the Spiritual Energy Revival, these items became easier to find.

This single secret technique alone lifted the Agricultural Official players out of the Shuidao tier of the game at the time.

Although Zhao Xing can easily acquire secret techniques now, in later generations, the ways to learn magic are few and require huge sums of money.

At that time, the combat power of the Agricultural Official players was relatively weak. Pure Origin Soil could only appear when they reached the 50th level of Essence Gathering, and it was very costly to cultivate it.

Even if it is opened up, the Pure Yuan Space of many ordinary players is not large enough to accommodate even a few Plant Soldier.

Even now, the combat prowess of the Agricultural Official is generally lower than that of other professions.

Zhao Xing's position as Military Sima Nong is an extreme exception. Ordinary Agricultural Official, even Military Sima Nong, rarely have such an opportunity.

Ordinary Military Sima Nong at this time would not be able to learn the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet at all; at most, they would only be able to cultivate one school of magic.

In the same amount of time, other professions were already dominating everything, while the Agricultural Official was still farming to save money and asking others to help him level up, not daring to go out to fight monsters in the wild.

However, the development of the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique changed this phenomenon.

In addition, plants that can be grown in the Pure Yuan Space are rare and expensive.

In his later years, Mi Fu compiled "Pure Yuan Derivative Species," which listed more than 800 Plant Soldier that could be planted in Pure Origin Soil!

These units were developed through hybridization. In layman's terms, Mi Fu researched and developed many low-cost, yet reasonably effective, alternative Plant Soldier.

He also passed down the book "Plant Unit Legion Technique" to later generations, which shone brightly in the era of Spiritual Energy Revival.

Liu Tianning's Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet is too advanced. Later on, Liu the Half-Mad's storyline missions are numerous, the rewards are high, and it also has a lot of mystery.

However, his popularity still couldn't surpass that of Mi Fu, because that was a task that only advanced players could take on. In the hearts of most Agricultural Official players, Mi Fu was the real "father"!

"If I were the Grand Minister of Agriculture, I would certainly reduce military expenditures, prohibit extravagance and waste, and curb the lavish lifestyle of the nobility. In addition, I would ensure that all Agricultural Official possess Plant Soldier, thereby reducing their cultivation costs..."

After a few rounds of drinks, Mi Fu started bragging to Zhao Xing.

"Lord Mi's ambition is truly admirable." Zhao Xing looked at Mi Fu, also slightly drunk.

In fact, Mi Fu did serve as the Grand Minister of Agriculture for a few months.

Why was it so short-lived?

Because Mi Fu had a strange temper, he couldn't get along with the powerful and wealthy at all, and he liked to tease them like a mischievous old man. He also had a very sharp tongue, often referring to himself as "I" or "your grandpa."

When he encounters something he disagrees with, he'll criticize it no matter who it is, even the emperor is no exception.

Mi Fu came from a poor family and knew the hardships of ordinary people, so he strongly opposed extravagance and war.

Wu Emperor appointed him to the throne so that he could raise funds for the army.

As it turned out, Mi Fu's first act upon assuming the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture was to reduce military and royal expenditures.

How could Wu Emperor tolerate this?

He promoted Mi Fu because he saw that Mi Fu had done a good job controlling costs in his position as the Lesser Agriculture Decree, but he didn't expect that the cost control would end up on his own shoulders.

So, after Mi Fu took over Liu Tianning's position for only a few months, he demoted him to the position of Lesser Agriculture Decree.

"Chen'an, come here, let me show you my paintings." Mi Fu, slightly drunk, pulled Zhao Xing away.

These days, he has been treated very well by Zhao Xing.

The supplies Zhao Xing brought were all things that couldn't be obtained in Returning Ruins City.

After dinner, Mi Fu led Zhao Xing to his studio.

"Clang!"

Mi Fu kicked the door open.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but laugh and cry. This guy had set up Magic Array on the door that could only be opened by kicking it hard; he really didn't follow the usual path.

"Buzz~"

After the door opened, bursts of light shone from inside.

Upon inspection, Zhao Xing discovered that all of them were "Preaching Painting" of the fifth rank or higher.

Next, emboldened by the wine, Mi Fu casually painted a picture titled "Wind Mast Array Horse".

It actually reached the fifth level, which allows one to comprehend a Wind Travel Art.

When Mi Fu was painting, he became extremely focused, all his bandit-like air disappeared, and the radiance reflected on his face gave him an otherworldly feel.

Zhao Xing originally thought he knew Mi Fu well enough, but now he was actually a little confused. Mi Fu was a man who could be appreciated by both the refined and the common people.

"Chen'an, how is it?" Mi Fu looked up with a smile after finishing the painting.

Zhao Xing leaned closer to take a look and immediately exclaimed in admiration, "The power of wind has been used to condense a herd of warhorses. When the Astral Wind blows, it's like ten thousand horses galloping."

"Master Mi's painting skills are truly amazing. Every stroke of his brush is a fifth-level painting," Zhao Xing praised.

"Haha, do you like it?"

"Like!"

Mi Fu put down his paintbrush, put his arm around Zhao Xing's shoulder, and pointed to the paintings hanging on the wall. "Since you like them, you can choose any of these paintings you like and take them with you."

Zhao Xing was about to ask something when he turned around and found Mi Fu asleep in the chair.

Zhao Xing smiled, then put his hands behind his back and began searching through Mi Fu's studio.

Mi Fu's studio contains tens of thousands of paintings. He has only been in Returning Ruins City for three years and has only been studying painting for ten years, yet he has already produced so many exquisite works. He is as prolific as a sow.

"The highest-ranking Preaching Painting work, has already reached the sixth level." Zhao Xing stared at the painting framed in the very center.

The painting is titled "Sunlight on Golden Mountain".

It contains a "Mountain Art", which includes the methods of opening up and closing mountains.

However, upon closer inspection, Zhao Xing discovered that it contained the Time Law and the magic of the True Self Faction.

Mi Fu had a wide range of interests, and he was also Agricultural Official was proficient in all three schools of thought, so Zhao Xing was not surprised.

However, he only paused briefly in front of the painting before looking away.

A moment later, Zhao Xing's gaze fell on the corner, and his pupils contracted.

"Found it!"

"The Preaching Painting ' The Profound Yellow Sea Mountain Chart ' is used to spread the word."

Zhao Xing could not hide his excitement. He immediately went to the painting and observed it intently.

"Buzz~"

Suddenly, Zhao Xing's vision changed, and the next moment he found himself in the heavens.

"When Mi Fu broke through to the Fifth Grade, he was filled with curiosity about the sky and kept flying upwards, passing through the Astral Wind layer and arriving at the highest heavens."

"However, after flying past the ninth layer of Astral Wind, he could no longer continue. At this height, looking down over the land of the Nineteen Provinces, his understanding of the Dao emerged, and he created this painting."

Zhao Xing carefully pondered that Mi Fu initially wanted to explore the profound principles of Heavenly Timing, but he didn't understand anything about Heavenly Timing. Instead, he saw the Earth Vein of the Nineteen Provinces.

Since he had no inspiration for the Time Law, he decided to create a Earthly Advantage Method.

Ultimately, however, he created a unique True Self Faction called the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique.

This spell was only a mid-level spell of the True Self Faction, and as a result, it didn't have much effect on the growth of plants. Instead, it made "Houtu Gravel" grow stronger.

Eventually, someone discovered its remarkable effects.

"The world is unpredictable; even Mi Fu himself probably couldn't have foreseen this." Zhao Xing looked down at the land of the Nineteen Provinces, and many mysteries appeared before his eyes.

Because it was the original text, he could even comprehend the Dao that Mi Fu had comprehended.

One can even understand the complex emotions Mi Fu felt when he created this method.

"Buzz~"

After a short while, Zhao Xing looked away.

It was only an intermediate-level secret technique, and he grasped it in just a moment.

"This Profound Yellow Sea Mountain Chart was painted when I broke through to the Fifth Grade, wanting to explore the end of the sky." Mi Fu appeared beside Zhao Xing at some point.

He said with a sense of helplessness, "I originally wanted to create Time Law, but I eventually found that I was not capable of doing so."

"So I wanted to create a Earthly Advantage Method. I observed the mountains and oceans from the heavens above, and somehow I ended up creating a method True Self Faction."

Mi Fu pointed at the painting. "It's only a mid-level secret technique, and the effect is quite poor. It's really embarrassing."

Mi Fu felt ashamed of it, so naturally he wouldn't sell it, let alone have it collected by the imperial court.

If Zhao Xing hadn't taken the initiative to seek it out, this painting would probably have been collected by the imperial court only after Mi Fu's death.

"Lord Mi, do you know the effect of this painting on the Houtu Gravel?" Zhao Xing asked.

Mi Fu asked in surprise, "Chen'an, what are you talking about? I painted this picture; how could I not know it?"

"It can promote the growth of Houtu Gravel, but the effect is relatively poor."

Zhao Xing asked, "Could its effectiveness be enhanced?"

Mi Fu nodded first, then shook his head. "Theoretically speaking, it is possible."

"The Origin Analysis Technique works on plants, mainly extracting their life essence and using the principles of heaven and earth to continuously purify a certain part of the plant. It's similar to a person cultivating to enter the Pure Yuan Realm."

"My spell, by sheer accident, can deeply purify a person's dantian, influencing the growth of the Houtu Gravel."

"Theoretically speaking, this Origin Analysis Technique can further strengthen the Houtu Gravel, accelerate the birth of Pure Origin Soil, and even produce Pure Origin Soil without needing to be at the Fifth Grade."

"But in reality, it's just wishful thinking."

Zhao Xing asked, "Why?"

"Because many high-level rare treasures are needed as auxiliary materials for magic."

At this point, Mi Fu couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, a mere mid-level secret technique, yet it requires high-level treasures as auxiliary materials, hahahaha..."

Mi Fu seemed amused by his own words.

His consistent principle is to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Now, a spell has emerged that requires exorbitantly priced magical materials, and its final effect is still unknown.

Mi Fu certainly wouldn't delve into that; he was somewhat eccentric, even a bit crazy, but he wasn't truly insane.

"It seems that Mi Fu is not unaware of the purpose of his spell, but he sees that the application cost of this spell is too high, while the effect is unknown," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

If it were a time of Spiritual Energy Revival True Self Faction reigned supreme, Mi Fu would certainly continue his research, because the expensive magical materials that Mi Fu believed were easy to obtain at that time.

The times limited Mi Fu's development and his research.

Zhao Xing asked, "Lord Mi, if I were to provide you with funds, would you be willing to...?"

"You think I'm short of money?" Mi Fu waved his hand to interrupt. "It's just that it doesn't fit my principles. I won't continue researching this kind of secret technique."

Zhao Xing stopped trying to persuade him and asked Mi Fu for the original painting to keep as a collection. Mi Fu readily agreed.

He also handed over the handwritten copy and related ideas to Zhao Xing.

He himself is unwilling to study this, but he won't stop others from doing so.

Having obtained the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique, Zhao Xing's purpose for this trip was fulfilled.

In the twenty-ninth year of the Jingxin Calendar, on the Start of Summer), Zhao Xing bid farewell to Mi Fu.

Before leaving, he exchanged Earth Mirror codes with Mi Fu. Mi Fu had served as the Military Sima Nong and was qualified to use the Earth Mirror Earth Mirror, but at this time he was in the Star Ruins Realm and could not use it. If they wanted to communicate in the future, they would still have to rely on the most primitive method of writing letters.

"Lord Mi, I will write to you often in the future," Zhao Xing said. "I hope you will not hesitate to offer your guidance."

"Haha, I might not be able to reply. Maybe I'll die in the Star Ruins Realm someday."

"But if I'm about to die, I'll definitely write to let you know, hahaha~~"

After bidding farewell to Mi Fu, Zhao Xing left the Star Ruins Realm.

He returned to Red Haze County, bid farewell to Chen Xuan, and asked him to take good care of Mi Fu, at least to ensure Mi Fu's supplies in Returning Ruins City so that he could live a better life.

Chen Xuan readily agreed to such a small matter.

Wei Wuji had already gone back to work, so Zhao Xing could only make an appointment with him in the Earth Mirror to meet again next time.

Then, they passed through the Fire Pond of the Li Fire Dao Academy branch and embarked on their journey back to Pinghai Province.

The twenty-ninth year of the Jingxin Calendar, Lesser Fullness (Xiaoman).

Zhao Xing's true form returned to Twin Islands, one of the Eastern Sea Purple Cloud Archipelago.

Twin Islands remained unchanged, except that many soldiers were now patrolling the islands.

"In recent years, heretical sects have been rampant, and even the coastal areas are not safe." Zhao Xing's expression was somewhat gloomy.

"In the past, there was no such situation in the East Sea. Even if the Sect Realm cultivated some pirates, they were not enough to defeat the East Sea Legion."

"But in this life, the situation is completely different."

"The battle for the middle-grade level is getting more and more intense, with no sign of stopping. Although the imperial court occupies a lot of land and has even opened up four prefectures, the situation is constantly changing. Apart from the Nine Heavens Responding Origin Prefecture, the other three prefectures are not truly occupied."

"If the high-level battle also suffers a setback, who knows what kind of chaos will ensue on the frontiers and in the open ocean..."

The border regions and the distant sea areas were areas where the Great Zhou's control was relatively weak, but the Dragon Court Ancient Land and the rich marine resources could not be abandoned.

If the campaign against the barbarians goes smoothly, there won't be so many Joker; but if it doesn't go smoothly, all sorts of monsters and demons will jump out.

It's not just about external enemies; the reforms of Renewal Era and New Splendor Era three hundred years have attracted many deeply hidden forces to launch a counterattack.

It won't shake the foundation of the Dynasty of Fate, but it will still be a period of turmoil, and many people will die.

Princess Youruo and Old Liu had long since reconciled, but Zhao Xing still hadn't seen her for three years.

They're too busy. The evil sect is carrying out terrorist attacks in the East Sea, targeting shipping lanes and islands. Princess Youruo, as one of the largest landowners in the East Sea, is also extremely annoyed by these events.

Because many evil sects are causing trouble under the name of the Azure Water Daoist Academy, and this is her base, she not only has to put out the fires, but also carry out a purge within the Dao Academy.

Zhai Zhong was originally teaching Zhao Xing how to control beasts on Twin Islands, but he was transferred back in the winter of the twenty-seventh year of the Jingxin Calendar.

"Even farming isn't Taiping Granary." Zhao Xing shook his head and returned to the Directorate of the Dragon Horse Bureau.

His trip to Guangling Prefecture went unnoticed.

The main reason is that he usually has Ten Thousand Laws Clone on Twin Islands, so it's as if he's never left.

Upon returning to his residence, Zhao Xing closed his eyes and began cultivating in his dreams, while also making plans for the future.

"The situation is becoming increasingly complex. In the East Sea alone, it is quite different from what I knew in my previous life."

"Mountains may crumble, but to truly stand firm, you must rely on yourself."

"The most urgent task is to improve my strength. My path to advancement has already been opened. Even if I were to become Fifth Grade Official Rank, I could cultivate myself to the peak of the Fourth-Rank Yuan Soul Realm."

"The East Sea qualifying round of the Dragon Court Ancient Land will begin next year. We must enter this place. I must do everything I can to improve my strength."

"The Fifth Grade of the Agricultural Official is a crucial point. Now that I have reached the Pure Yuan Realm, my primary task is to quickly cultivate Pure Origin Soil to accelerate the growth of the Floating Vine."

"To cultivate Pure Origin Soil, one must first reach the Fifth-Rank Pure Yuan realm, which I have already achieved."

"But three conditions are still required. First, one must thoroughly understand the second level of ' Houtu Return to Origin '."

"The second is the 'determining of Solar Terms Decree ' which marks the second stage of the solar Fixing the Season."

"Thirdly, the Yin Yang True Self Scripture Second Layer is complete."

Why is it difficult to cultivate Pure Origin Soil? Because it has certain requirements for the classics of all three schools.

"Houtu Return to Origin" is the foundation, while "Solar Terms Decree" and "Yin Yang True Self Scripture" provide favorable conditions for plants to grow on Pure Origin Soil.

The inner world is called the inner world; it cannot be just heaven or just earth.

For plants to grow in the Pure Origin Soil of the inner world, they need the four methods of the True Self Faction: Bend Node, Strengthen Root, Element Analysis, and Essence Condensation to accelerate their growth.

"Even if all three conditions are met, the Pure Origin Soil that is cultivated is only ten meters in diameter, which is not enough to grow any powerful Plant Soldier."

"It needs to grow slowly, on a ten-year scale, unless you invest heavily."

This is why, in the Vital Energy Era, few members of the True Self Faction left.

Liu Tianning's Pure Yuan Space is indeed large, capable of growing giant trees, but he has remained at the Fifth Grade for nearly a hundred years! Moreover, he is extremely wealthy and has consumed all the edible and usable treasures, which is why he has acquired such heaven-defying combat power.

How could a normal, self-centered Minister of Agriculture have such an opportunity as Liu Tianning when he was only at the fifth rank?

Theoretically, Fifth Grade cultivator can live for four hundred years at their limit. But how many resources are needed to reach that limit? It's not that reaching the Fifth Grade guarantees a four-hundred-year lifespan. The theory and reality are vastly different. Many people don't even live to their theoretical lifespan. Not to mention, on average, they die in less than three hundred years.

"Buzz~" Zhao Xing opened the barrier of a secret room and then walked in.

Inside were many cabinets and boxes, filled with medicine bottles and other items, piled up like mountains.

"All the resources I've accumulated over the years are here," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Worth ten billion points."

How did you get the treasure worth one billion points?

Of course, it's all thanks to Old Master Zhao's own efforts!

He diligently flattered the old hag, and over eight years he swindled treasures worth 400 million points from her.

He diligently practiced the Straw Man Art and received cultivation resources from Liu Tianning, worth 300 million points.

With the ten million in start-up capital given to him by Tian Hou, he used his foresight to invest in Pinghai Province, Military Realm, and East Sea, earning more than two hundred million points.

As for the other treasure worth 100 million, it was found through divination and deduction, searching for treasure in the seabed with forty-nine clones, who searched day and night.

Despite toiling away on Twin Islands to cultivate cash crops using the Instant Primordial, he earned the least, making only 20 million over eight years.

Orders and such cannot go into his pocket; they must all go into the Dragon Horse Bureau Treasury. That money is not his to begin with; otherwise, it would be embezzlement and favoritism.

After doing the math, I realized that I actually earn the least amount of money from farming.

There are countless Agricultural Official in the land who manage agriculture, but they can't sell cash crops at a good price. Besides, he's not the top Agricultural Official; no matter what he does, there will always be someone who can grow crops better, on a larger scale, and at a lower cost.

"Farming won't make you rich," Zhao Xing sighed, then sealed the barrier around the secret room and arrived at a Return to Origin Sect Magic Array in the center of the room.

"Buzz~"

At the eight corners of the Magic Array, Seventh Order Yuan Crystal gradually lit up.

Each Yuan Crystal emitted a dense, almost tangible beam of light, pointing towards the center.

Zhao Xing sat cross-legged in the center, and eight beams of primordial energy focused on him.

"The Return to Origin Sect Return to Origin Sect Magic Array the fourth most valuable formation in the Military Realm. This one Magic Array alone is worth 120 million." Zhao Xing sat in the center.

Over the past eight years, not only have his magic reached a high level of perfection, but he has also met the requirements of the three major secret scriptures.

The Yin Yang True Self Scripture Second Layer was entered as early as the period of pacifying the barbarians. At that time, it was just the beginning. Now, the second level has been fully comprehended.

The five elements are interconnected, and the next step is to master the ' Five Elements Particles '.

The Solar Terms Decree represents the Third-Turn of the second phase, "Fixing the Season".

Houtu Return to Origin is a revised version of a secret manual from recent years, because Zhao Xing had never practiced this manual before.

There are only nine ' Houtu Gravel ' in the dantian, because it does not affect anything else; it is simply the foundation of Pure Origin Soil.

Before the Pure Yuan Dantian appears, it is completely useless.

However, this is now of paramount importance.

"Buzz~"

With his pure dantian operating at high speed, Zhao Xing continuously practiced the condensing primordial energy method of the "Houtu Return to Origin" secret manual.

With the first breath, the tenth "Houtu Gravel" appeared.

Ten points of light rotated within the vortex of pure dantian, followed by the eleventh, twelfth...

With thorough preparation, Zhao Xing was able to quickly assemble his forces.

A new grain of ' Houtu Gravel ' appears almost every second.

An hour later, there were already over a thousand.

One day later, the number of light spots in the dantian cyclone exceeded 86,400!

"These are the most basic elements that constitute the Pure Origin Soil." Zhao Xing looked inward at his dantian.

At this moment, the Pure Yuan Cyclone, now filled with many more points of light, was no longer dark and had begun to resemble a nebula.

"Continue."

Zhao Xing focused his mind and continued burning money.

Yes, now is the time to burn through cash!

Normally, Fifth Grade Agricultural Official who meets the requirements can condense ten 'pure elemental sands' in a day by relying solely on self-cultivation without using any resources.

Now, it can condense 86,400 in a single day!

Zhao Xing's current speed is 8,640 times that of a normal Agricultural Official cultivator!

At this point, the difference in talent has become so vast that it has little to do with whether Zhao Xing has any talent or not.

It's just burning money.

Zhao Xing's current income, thanks to his good performance in the Dragon Horse Bureau Office, includes bonuses, honorary titles, and a basic salary for Official Sixth Rank, Upper official, totaling approximately 950,000 Military Realm per year.

This surpasses the ability of most Fifth Grade officials who, without greed or robbery, would have to save for over a hundred years without eating or drinking to afford such a set of the Return to Origin Sect Magic Array for cultivation.

Two days later, the amount of pure primordial gravel, also known as Houtu Gravel, exceeded 170,000.

Three days later, the amount of pure primordial sand reached 260,000.

As time passed day by day, half a month later, on the day of Xiaoman (the 8th solar term), the number of pure primordial sand grains in Zhao Xing's dantian had exceeded 1.3 million.

Once the number of units reached one million, the rate of accumulation slowed down.

"It's almost at its limit," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "At the early stage of the Fifth Grade, the Pure Yuan Dantian can hold about a million Pure Yuan grains of sand."

A million grains may sound like a lot, but in reality, it's still a small number and not enough to form soil.

"This is because my understanding of the realm in the secret realm has only just reached the threshold, and I am only at the early stage of the Fifth Grade."

Zhao Xing deactivated the Seventh Order Return to Origin Sect Magic Array, no longer wasting its power.

Then he reached out and beckoned.

Whoosh~

Two cabinets and ten boxes were opened.

In an instant, the secret room was filled with fragrance, and all kinds of pills and fruits flew over.

"I'll eat it!"

Zhao Xing opened his mouth and began to devour these combinations of vital energy treasures.

The advancement to the Fifth-Rank Pure Yuan Realm is relatively easy, as it only requires the accumulation of Yuan Qi.

Unlike the Fourth Grade Yuan Soul Realm, which requires cultivating the Seven Po of the physical body.

At the Pure Yuan Realm, one can directly purchase upgrade resources from the Military Realm to bypass the Ascetic Practice process.

He was promoted directly from the initial stage of the Fifth Grade to the perfect Fifth Grade.

"This is the ninth Essence Gathering Combination in the Military Realm, with a total value of eight million points. It has no side effects and is not expensive."

Actually, "not expensive" is relative. To become a regular Sixth Rank Civil Official Rank without any honorary rank, relying solely on basic salary, it would take a hundred years to accumulate eight million Military Realm.

Otherwise, why would Song Shiyang of Nanyang County, who so desperately wanted a promotion, try to curry favor with Zhao Xing, a Sixth Rank official, when he was only a Fifth Grade- rank official?

Because he has only average talent and is busy with official duties, where would he find the time to cultivate himself?

Since there's no time, if you're thinking about reaching the Fourth Grade, you essentially have two choices: buy precious resources and cultivate to the Fourth Grade Yuan Soul Realm on your own.

In this way, as long as one's political performance is not too bad, and one is Fourth Grade official, the court will give priority to promoting one, because if one is Fourth Grade official, the cost of promoting one will be lower for the dynasty's fortune.

But with his Official Rank of Fifth Grade, it would be very difficult for him to accumulate enough money without embezzling.

Then there's only the second option: promotion.

They could never reach the Fourth Grade rank in their lifetime on their own, so they could only hope to be promoted and rely on the imperial National Dynasty Luck Cleansing to force them to advance.

Once the Official Rank is reached, one will naturally enter the Fourth-Rank Yuan Soul realm.

Once you reach the Fourth Grade rank, you can further refine your spells to keep up with their level, and then you will have the true strength of Fourth Grade.

In the Vital Energy Era, the vast majority of officials from impoverished backgrounds could only advance their careers by getting promoted.

Taking time off to cultivate oneself and level up through self-study is something only powerful and wealthy Noble Families can do. They don't need to work or make a living, and they already have titles and ranks, so their upward mobility is already open. They have family fortunes accumulated over dozens of generations, so they can do this.

But it's different for ordinary officials. Working hours aren't for cultivating; you have to do your job. If you do your job well, the court will promote you. Why would you need to cultivate then?

After consuming the Ninth Essence Gathering Combination for a full half month, Zhao Xing advanced from the early stage of the Pure Yuan Realm to the perfect stage of the Pure Yuan Realm.

It was now the Summer Solstice of the 29th year of the Jingxin Calendar.

"Houtu Return to Origin Grand Formation, activate!"

Zhao Xing activated the Seventh Order Magic Array again. Under the light of the Yuan Crystal, he began to condense pure Yuan sand again.

This time, the speed was even faster, with more than 200,000 more added in a single day.

Forty days later, the amount of pure primordial sand in Zhao Xing's body had exceeded 'tens of millions'.

At this moment, the energy vortex in his dantian was sparkling with starlight, looking exceptionally dazzling.

"Tens of millions of pure elemental sand grains are enough for me to condense Pure Origin Soil."

"However, this is still just the beginning, with an area of only ten meters in diameter and an energy level of only level one."

"Level 1 Pure Origin Soil, within a radius of ten meters, can only support a limited number of Plant Soldier, enough for Duckweed organisms to grow. Once it's used, there's no other space for them to survive."

Zhao Xing glanced at the Houtu Return to Origin Formation; the eight Seventh Order Yuan Crystal had dimmed.

"The First Tier the upgrade plan, worth 200 million, is nearing completion."

"The effects will be worse in the future, but it has already allowed me to cover in three months what others take decades or even hundreds of years to do."

Zhao Xing lamented that the cost of rapidly accumulating Pure Origin Soil in the Vital Energy Era was simply too high.

In the True Self Faction Vital Energy Era, it was only through generations of accumulated knowledge that people dared to take this path.

However, once you succeed, even with only a small achievement, the rewards will be enormous.

Qin Hongying of the Azure Water Daoist Academy offered herself an exorbitant order and was even willing to offer the position of vice dean to bind herself to him.

"Next, we will begin implementing the second plan, which is worth 400 million."

Zhao Xing left the Return to Origin Sect Formation and then walked to a specially made crystal pool to the side.

"Gurgle~"

The crystal pool was filled with an incredibly viscous, dark yellow substance.

"The second upgrade plan is called the ' Shangluo Opening Origin Method '."

"The upgrade plan provided by the Shangluo Academy."

"The Kaiyuan Method expands the Pure Yuan Space. Even though my understanding of the three great secret scriptures has only just reached the standard, this combination can still expand the range of my dantian, increasing its capacity. This is a transformation of the dantian, and has nothing to do with my understanding of the Dao."

"The second plan is expected to be in use for three months, which will increase my pure elemental gravel from tens of millions to hundreds of millions."

"The minimum is over 100 million, but the exact amount varies from person to person."

Zhao Xing stripped naked and jumped into the crystal pool.

"Click click click~"

The mechanism was locked, and the entire pool began to exude the fragrance of earth and grass.

Zhao Xing felt his vitality growing stronger, and after half a month, he felt that his body had grown three centimeters taller.

Three months later, in the twenty-ninth year of the Jingxin Calendar, on the eve of the Autumn Equinox.

Sun Shizhao suddenly arrived on the Land Island from Wan Island and sent an urgent report.

Zhao Xing quickly created a Ten Thousand Laws Clone to greet him.

"Marquis Yuan Rang, a murder occurred yesterday about 150 nautical miles from my Twin Islands."

"A City Order Department Tower Ship was attacked."

"All 196 people on board died of dehydration and turned into mummies."

"All the goods were looted."

Zhao Xing's expression was solemn. One hundred and fifty nautical miles was already a very close distance.

It only takes about 45 minutes to get to Twin Islands.

"Have you found out who did it?" Zhao Xing asked.

"The Divine Temple in Chongming Prefecture has dispatched Fourth Grade Priest to the scene and asked the Rebirth True Lord to transform a Fifth Grade chief official of the City Order Department into Yin God Body."

"The official conclusion is not yet known, but I expect it to be the same as before."

"You... you mean..." Zhao Xing spoke haltingly.

"Yes." Sun Shizhao nodded. "The Azure Water Sect."

"According to rumors... this Fifth Grade official saw the leader of the attacking force, and he actually said it was Zhai Zhong!"

Zhao Xing shook his head. "There have been more than fifty murders in the past few years. The murderers all wore the robes of the Azure Water Daoist Academy. It is clear that they are trying to confuse the public and frame others."

"How could someone who could kill so many people in an instant and then leave so quickly allow their Yin Soul to see their true face?"

"It's even more impossible that it's Zhai Zhong."

Sun Shizhao frowned and said, "But it's still a bad influence. Perhaps we should..."

"You mean to stop cooperating with the Dao Academy for now?"

Sun Shizhao said in a low voice, "I am only suggesting a temporary separation; the specific decision is still up to you, Marquis Yuan Rang."

It was clear that Sun Shizhao was in a hurry.

Thanks to his previous investment in Zhao Xing, risking his entire fortune, Sun Shizhao could be transferred back to the inland to serve as an official in a year. Even if he couldn't be promoted to the Fourth Grade immediately, he could go to an important position and work for a few more years, and being promoted to the Fourth Grade would be a sure thing.

At this critical juncture, Sun Shizhao did not want any unexpected events to occur.

Because in recent years, his Twin Islands have been going smoothly, without any unexpected incidents, and his political achievements are also very impressive.

Once promoted from the Fourth Grade, it not only brings power and status, but also adds a hundred years to one's lifespan. At that time, one can then seek the full Fourth Grade and find some life-extending treasures. Theoretically, one could live for another two hundred years.

To live forever and stay young for another two hundred years—what an irresistible temptation! It's like living another lifetime.

He naturally hoped to temporarily sever ties with the Dao Academy to prevent Twin Islands from being targeted by demons and monsters.

"Lord Sun," Zhao Xing said in a deep voice, "Take precautions and ask the Restoration Army to increase patrols. As for the Dao Academy, everything remains the same."

"It's too late to cut it now. We need to be careful to notice it sooner. I will instruct the Dragon Horse Bureau to seal off Tuoquan Palace and prevent people from going out to the wild or to the sea for fresh air."

In fact, the warhorses and beasts in the Tuoquan Palace have been kept locked up for the past few months and haven't been allowed to roam around.

Sun Shizhao actually knew that he had only come to Zhao Xing to put his mind at ease.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say."

It was the fifth day after the Autumn Equinox in the 29th year of the Jingxin Calendar.

"Click click click~"

The mechanism in the crystal pool was activated, and Zhao Xing flew out and got dressed.

At this moment, the viscous substance in the crystal pool disappeared, turning into a turbid liquid.

Zhao Xing internally examined his dantian. "The amount of pure primordial sand has reached 200 million, which is beyond expectations."

"If I were to create Pure Yuan Space now, it could become level two Pure Origin Soil, with a radius of 20 meters."

"We can already grow quite a few things."

"From April to September now, in less than half a year, he has walked a path that many Agricultural Official have walked in their entire lives."

Zhao Xing looked at the empty secret room.

He also consumed more than 600 million resources.

As for the remaining resources worth 400 million points, there is actually only one item.

A section of willow branch sealed in a secret box.

Zhao Xing walked over and stroked the box.

This is because it is a supplementary material for the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique.

It was taken from the old witch's storeroom.

"The willow branch is just an ordinary willow branch, but it contains spiritual energy. It is an item that does not belong to this era. The old hag valued it at 400 million points, but its actual value is immeasurable."

"However, this thing is useless in her hands. In this era, almost no one has ever seen a spiritual object, and even if they have, it is very difficult to use it."

"And the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique can precisely extract the spiritual energy from the willow branches to strengthen my Pure Origin Soil!"

Zhao Xing's eyes burned with fervor. The vast majority of the auxiliary materials required for the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique needed to contain wood-attribute spiritual energy.

What grade should this willow branch be? It's impossible to classify. Calling it Supreme Grade wouldn't be appropriate, because once opened, the spiritual energy inside will quickly dissipate and eventually return to the world, falling back to the Zhiyuan.

Princess Youruo found it useless because it was too weak, but she could sense that the level of power within it surpassed that of primordial energy. At this point, it could only be categorized as a 'strange object'.

"First, open up the Pure Yuan Space." Zhao Xing sat cross-legged.

He activated the three secret manuals, and his mind continued to sink.

"Buzz~"

He soon arrived above the nebula, with countless points of light below.

However, there was a fog in front of him, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

"Pure primordial Wuji, the Creation of Heaven and Earth!"

As soon as Zhao Xing had a thought, the nebula began to spin wildly.

In the process of Houtu Return to Origin, there are two secret methods: the method of opening up the origin and the method of the Return to Origin Sect. The former opens up the Pure Yuan Space, while the latter gathers the pure origin sand and gravel, causing it to condense into Pure Origin Soil.

Because he had accumulated enough pure elemental sand, Zhao Xing went very smoothly through these two steps. After all, he had prepared for a long time and spent so much money, so what difficulties could there be?

"Buzz~"

The mist before us dissipated, and the starlight converged to form a miniature landmass.

The land, roughly twenty meters in diameter, flashed twice before fading away.

"It's done. Second-grade Pure Origin Soil, approximately 1256 square meters." Zhao Xing smiled slightly.

As for thickness, there is no concept of thickness in the Pure Yuan Space, or it can be said to be infinitely thick.

The level of Pure Origin Soil represents the depth at which roots can take hold, as well as the number and rank of Plant Soldier that can be cultivated.

The unfolding of the Pure Yuan Space in the real world is called the Pure Yuan Projection, which scales down to 10:1 according to the area of Pure Origin Soil.

Because it is subject to the suppression of the vast world, its actual projected area is only 120 square meters. This suppression will gradually balance to 1:1 as the Pure Origin Soil upgrades and the understanding of the Dao improves.

After the opening, many mysteries arose in Zhao Xing's mind.

From this day forward, he has truly entered the realm of the True Self Faction.

He could say he was a True Self Faction Agricultural Official.

"Buzz~"

Zhao Xing opened his eyes, and then a thought struck him.

A layer of soil phantom appeared on the ground in front of us. It was originally 1,200 square meters, but when it actually materialized in reality, it was only 120 square meters.

"A long-lost Pure Yuan Projection," Zhao Xing reminisced.

He then cut his skin and pulled out the Floating Vine.

"Go!"

The Floating Vine immediately began to move, taking root in the gleaming soil.

The Duckweed was originally only three feet long, but after taking root, Floating Vine doubled in size, growing to six feet!

Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it slowly grew to twelve feet.

At this time, the Floating Vine, although still a seedling, is already four meters long and has sprouted two tender green leaves.

"Receive!"

With a thought, Zhao Xing's Pure Yuan Projection disappeared, and the Floating Vine also returned to the Pure Yuan Space.

Within the dantian, a tender green vine took root in the center of the earth, radiating points of light, which was quite miraculous.

"Originally, the Floating Vine vines in my blood would take fifty years to emerge from their seedling stage, but now they can enter their growth stage in just one year."

"However, even with second-grade Pure Origin Soil, it would take at least thirty years for the Floating Vine to mature, and it could only support the growth of one plant at a time." Zhao Xing's gaze fell on the box containing the willow branches.

"Old Mi, now it all depends on whether your Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique is reliable or not. It's a priceless treasure." Zhao Xing rubbed his hands together.

Then, the box seal was slowly opened.

There was a seal inside the box.

There are nine layers in total, only in this way can a wisp of spiritual energy be locked in the willow branch.

"This willow branch, I wonder how many years it has gone by, yet it looks as if it was just picked," Zhao Xing thought.

When was the last small-scale Spiritual Energy Revival? That was at least a million years ago.

Very few spiritual objects have survived to this day.

"After millions of years, a willow branch is still fresh and green, simply because it contains a wisp of spiritual energy."

Zhao Xing carefully unsealed the seal layer by layer, until the last seal was broken.

He immediately Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique.

"Buzz~"

A wisp of spiritual energy within the willow branches was immediately captured, and a bright green dot appeared before Zhao Xing.

"Wood-attribute spiritual energy." Zhao Xing controlled the light spots, using spells driven by his vital energy to bind the spiritual energy, which was equivalent to using a sieve to scoop water.

Even with the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique, Zhao Xing had a feeling that the light spot might go out at any moment.

However, it was ultimately kept completely secret.

"Receive!"

Zhao Xing drew the green light into his dantian.

At the same time, the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique is used to purify the soil within the dantian.

"Boom!"

The green speck of light resembles Water Drop falling into the soil.

It was clearly insignificant, yet the entire Pure Yuan Space trembled.

The soil seemed to have been struck by an earthquake, cracks appearing. Zhao Xing quickly focused his mind and activated the Return to Origin Sect Method and Opening to Origin Method from the Houtu Return to Origin.

"Boom!"

The radius of the Pure Origin Soil has increased from 20 meters to 100 meters!

The light flashed three times, and it leaped to the third level of Pure Origin Soil.

"Old Master Mi is awesome!"

Seeing this, Zhao Xing couldn't stop smiling.

The area has been expanded from a radius of 20 meters to a radius of 100 meters, which is a significant increase in area.

His Pure Origin Soil area has now reached 31,400 square meters!

It has expanded nearly 30 times!

The Pure Origin Soil has also reached level three, and the Plant Soldier ranks that can be planted can reach up to Seventh Order! The quantity will also increase greatly, and the inclusiveness will become stronger.

"It's time to report our progress to Old Liu," Zhao Xing said, pulling out the Earth Mirror. "I'm broke now. I don't even have the money to train Plant Soldier."

Raising Plant Soldier also requires a lot of money, and unlike Liu Tianning, Zhao Xing doesn't have a family to support him. He's too weak now and can only take advantage of Liu Tianning and his wife.

"Buzz~"

Liu Tianning's illusory image was projected from the Earth Mirror.

"What's up."

"Teacher, I need money." Zhao Xing got straight to the point.

Liu Tianning was taken aback. "You've already spent all the resources worth 300 million points?"

He gave it to Zhao Xing in the twenty-seventh year of the Jingxin Calendar, because at that time Zhao Xing reported to him that he was 100% confident of breaking through to the Fifth Grade.

Three hundred million points, squandered in two years?

Liu Tianning exclaimed that it was a waste of money.

"Did you invest it in a money exchange?" Liu Tianning asked. "Didn't I tell you not to get involved in these things?"

When Liu Tianning discovered that Zhao Xing was wasting his time on business, he gave him a larger sum of money at once.

According to Liu Tianning, Zhao Xing has hundreds of millions of yuan, and as long as he doesn't invest, he won't be able to spend it all within ten years.

Now, less than three years later, the money is gone, making it hard for Liu Tianning not to think in this direction.

"Teacher, you misunderstand. I have broken through to the Fifth Grade and have already cultivated Pure Origin Soil," Zhao Xing said. "I am currently lacking suitable Plant Soldier."

Liu Tianning nodded. If that's the case, then it makes more sense.

How much do you need?

Zhao Xing didn't waste any words and directly activated the Pure Yuan Projection.

He fully unfolded his Pure Yuan Projection, with Floating Vine swaying in the center.

Fearing that Liu Tianning might not be able to see clearly in the Earth Mirror, Zhao Xing even controlled the Earth Mirror to fly up and circle around the range of his Pure Yuan Projection.

It then flew back into my hand.

"Teacher, please take a look at this range. How much do I need?"

Liu Tianning was stunned again.

My prediction failed, it's already 7 o'clock... Time to sleep, my life is more important.
