Chapter 114: Xiaojiu Tian Gangfeng and Rolling Landmines, the Return of the Dao through Asceticism!

"First is the intermediate level of the Four Heavenly Time Methods."

"So far, I have learned Yin Feng, Yin Yin, Bing Yu, and Yun Xiao."

"The Yin wind only targets the soul, so you need to learn a Yang wind spell."

"The lightning induction is standard, enough to deter some villains in the rear, but not good enough for fighting. Even though I created two lightning methods, they haven't broken through the limit and are a little weak, so I need to add a new lightning method."

"There's no need to change Ice Rain and Swallowing Clouds."

Ice Rain and Cold Wind were taught by the Yin God Zheng Lun. He was a military minister in his lifetime. These two spells are both powerful military spells.

"The spells of the Geographical Advantage School, the Infinite Underground Palace is a positional spell, very good for positional warfare, and the Earth Splitting Spell is a gambler's tactic, the effect is not stable."

"The Humane Version of Ksitigarbha's Return to Origin is an auxiliary method."

"I still lack a stable attack spell, and a spell to help me travel faster."

"You can learn from Xuantu Method, Lietu Method, and Digong Method." Zhao Xing calculated in his mind. As for the category of Dizang Method, they are all auxiliary in nature.

"In these areas, learn one or two spells to cope with the test of the Sorting House first."

"But I still have to repay the Tao. It would be best if I repay the Tao of Lihuo Zhenjun within a month. Otherwise, there will be an impact after a month. Although the impact is relatively minor, it is an impact after all. One month is a bit tight." Zhao Xing was a little helpless.

"When I have the chance, I will go to Lihuo Taoist Academy to take the exam to become an honorary preaching mage."

There are five levels in Lihuo Taoist Temple: Master of All Arts, Master of Preaching, Doctor of Scriptures, Vice-President, and President.

Master Baiyi has three opportunities to borrow the Taoist temple for free every year. This is for personal matters. If it is a public task assigned by the Taoist temple, naturally there is no charge.

At this level of preaching mage, no matter for official or personal matters, you can use the Lihuo Altar free of charge.

Because this corresponds to the level of true disciples and sect protectors in the ancient sect era.

As for the Doctor of Economics, the Vice-President, and the Dean of a branch school, they are probably equivalent to elders.

Not only can you use it yourself, but you also have the opportunity several times a year to allow others to use it for free.

Only the dean, who is equivalent to the head of the ancient Lihuo Sect, can allow anyone to use it without limit on the number of times and the number of people. Of course, if it is used for free on a large scale, it will also be a consumption of the Lihuo Altar itself.

"It would be enough to pass the exam and become an honorary preacher wizard." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Master Baiyi is a teacher at Lihuo Taoist Temple. He teaches students according to the temple's rules and teaches by rote. The only requirement is that students need to know a lot, but the test is not particularly difficult.

The preaching master, the teacher, has his own unique understanding of various spells and Taoism. He should be able to create at least one spell by himself. Moreover, the level of the spell he created cannot be too low. Others can only imitate him, but they should also be able to cultivate to a high level.

This is more difficult. As the saying goes, those who imitate me will die, and those who learn from me will live. Many people's self-created spells are most powerful only in their own hands. If others follow the process and learn, the spells are only half as powerful, or even less than half.

The requirements to be a preaching monk in a Taoist temple are quite strict.

As for the Doctor of Scriptures and the Vice President, they would have to make significant contributions to the Lihuo Taoist Academy to be awarded such a nominal position of "honor". It was also difficult to pass the examination for a real position, so it was basically not within Zhao Xing's consideration.

Intermediate level spells are all free to learn, as long as you can learn them, you can learn as much as you want.

Zhao Xing browsed through the magic books in the armory through the ground mirror body.

First, the wind method.

Powerful wind spells generally require the control of higher quality wind.

Zhao Xing flipped through it casually and found a secret technique called [Xiao Jiu Tian Gang Feng], which is a kind of Yang Feng magic.

"Riding the strong wind, the speed is very fast."

"Its power is even more impressive. The Nine Heavens Gale is so fierce and powerful that it can even blow down a mountain."

"After reaching the eighth level, it begins to truly unleash its power. The Spirit Bridge connects heaven and earth, absorbs the vital energy of heaven and earth, and can also draw in the Nine Heavens Gale."

"With the help of the Spirit Bridge, the power of this wind spell will become stronger with each level up. The Nine Heavens Wind spell includes intermediate, advanced, and top levels, but I have only seen the intermediate level, so I will only call it the Small Nine Heavens Wind spell."

His eyes moved downwards and he soon saw another secret technique, [Great Heat Wind Evil].

"Great Heat Wind Evil, when the wind blows, the temperature around rises sharply, and if someone is blown by it, they will be skinned alive even if they don't die."

"This is a spell that I learned from the Great Heat solar term, also known as the Blazing Sun and Wind Evil."

"Borrowing the influence of the solar terms, we only need to borrow the wind evil of the Great Heat solar term, without changing the overall weather."

"The same is true for the Great Cold Wind Strike and the Extreme Cold Wind Strike. When the wind blows, it feels like a knife scraping your bones."

"Both are good, let's take a look..."

Zhao Xing searched in the wind method category, and finally turned his attention back to the first one.

"After looking around, I still think that Xiaojiu Tiangangfeng best meets my requirements. As expected, the one I like at first sight is actually the one I am most satisfied with."

After deciding on the wind method, Zhao Xing began to look for the thunder method.

He was quite familiar with Lei Fa, so he went to look for it directly with a purpose.

Soon he found the secret method he wanted - [Rolling Mine]

"I finally found it. The magic spells of this period are really rich." Zhao Xing grinned.

The main reason why he wanted to find this secret technique was that rolling mines were not restricted by cloud techniques. Even without cloud techniques, they could be performed, just like his own spells.

But rolling mines can also be enhanced by cloud magic.

Unlike attracting lightning, [Attracting Lightning] has a prerequisite, and you must move the cloud first before you can use it.

"The casting of rolling mines is also relatively concealed. It is a type of Yin thunder, but its power exceeds that of many Yang thunder spells."

"It's up to you."

After confirming the thunder method, Zhao Xing looked through the earth magic.

"I'm looking for a way to escape and a spell from the Earth School with stable lethality."

"Escape techniques are generally classified into Xuantu techniques and Digong techniques."

"There are very few earth-splitting techniques and earth-hiding techniques that include the escape technique."

In the Wanli Lei Chi area, he saw someone sneaking through the earth veins using the Xuan Tu method.

However, as he flipped through the pages, Zhao Xing began to frown.

"It's too difficult to get started with Xuan Tu Fa. Do you have to go underground to gain insights?"

"There is only one month left. It is too late to practice Xuan Tu Fa."

Zhao Xing could only put his study of Xuan Tu Fa on hold for the time being.

In a month, he had to return to the Tao and practice. Other spells were fine and he could perform them even while running.

The Xuan Tu Method requires one to go underground to comprehend it, which takes up too much time.

Even though there was no such thing as returning the Dao, Zhao Xing decided to put it aside for the time being.

There is only one month left, so he must plan it wisely.

"First, determine the Nine Heavens Gale and Rolling Land Mine, the Dili School spells. You can practice "Hou Tu Gui Yuan" and visit the Dili Temple first."

Spell books are all made of very ordinary paper and have no added effect when studied.

There are several public places for meditation in the Sinongjian that can help people gain understanding.

Zhao Xing wants efficiency now, so he uses the magic of the terrain, whatever he can learn quickly.

As for Rolling Mine and Nine Heavenly Strong Wind, he could confirm it first because he liked these two spells. He had learned them in his previous life and knew the strength of these two spells. He was also very familiar with the combined application of these two spells.

After deciding on the two spells, Zhao Xing placed an order in the ground mirror, and then a mechanical beast would be delivered to his door.

However, just after placing the order, Zhao Xing discovered that his points were reduced by two points.

"Huh? What's going on? Didn't you say you could study for free? Why did you deduct two points?"

Zhao Xing was a little puzzled.

After checking in the ground mirror, I found out that it was the cost of the spell book.

Regardless of the type of spell, learning is free, but a processing fee of 1 point is required.

"It's so funny. During the reigns of Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu, they didn't even charge for this cost of production. Emperor Jing is so stingy. He has no vision at all." Zhao Xing complained in his heart.

A courtyard with eighteen locust and willow trees.

"Da da da~"

The sound of horse hooves came from the main road outside, and a mechanical engineer was seen riding a bamboo horse, leaping down from the sky and landing on the main road.

He had many packages and bamboo boxes tied to his bamboo horse and was carrying them on his back, making him look very bloated.

"Xu~"

The engineer stopped outside the gate of the Eighteen Sophora japonica and Willow Courtyard.

"Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army."

"The things you want have arrived."

"Did I leave your things outside the door?"

The engineer shouted outside the gate.

"Okay, thanks..."

Zhao Xing was carrying a heavy load in the courtyard. Before he could finish thanking him, the mechanical engineer rode his bamboo horse to the next location. He looked up at the sky and saw more and more people riding bamboo horses in the sky. It was obvious that the people who reported the incident had arrived one after another. With the initial points, they began to place orders in the arsenal.

"The engineer has been taking on tasks and earning points these days. I'm afraid he can earn thousands a day." Zhao Xing opened the gate and put away the package.

In Shiyang Cave, each profession can complete tasks and earn points in their own way.

For example, when the machine gun divisions had no plans to go out, they would work part-time as couriers to earn points and serve the garrison.

"Nine Heavens Gale."

Zhao Xing first opened the secret method of "Nine Heavens Gangfeng" to check.

He was carrying a bamboo box on his back, but at this moment, there was nothing else in the box, only thick lumps of earth.

By running with weights, you can speed up your return to the road.

First, use the Wuyin Underground Palace to compress the loose soil, and then put it into the asparagus box.

The compressed mud blocks weigh thousands of pounds.

There were two such pieces of mud in the asparagus box.

Carrying a weight of two thousand kilograms was not particularly difficult for Zhao Xing.

During the assessment at Gucheng Wusi, there was an item called lifting a tripod. When Shen Zhui reached the seventh level of Juyuan, he could lift a tripod weighing a thousand pounds.

Now that Zhao Xing has reached a high level, and he is carrying a heavy load, two thousand kilograms is not an exaggeration.

"Start training!"

Zhao Xing was running in his manor while flipping through a magic book and carrying a bamboo box on his back.

He even took off his cloud-walking boots and ran barefoot.

Thanks to his perception of the wind, he didn't need to look at the road at all and his speed was not slow.

It is not difficult to meditate while running. On the contrary, Zhao Xing likes to think about things while running.

Concentrating on comprehending the secret technique of Nine Heavens Gangfeng, I didn’t seem that tired anymore.

March 2nd, Mao hour.

Chen Shijie and Long Xiao have arrived in Xi'er City to rest.

Xi'er City is one of the six counties of Pingman. It is a new land and also a bridgehead for conquering the southern barbarians.

Because it is an important frontier town, the number of troops in the entire Xi'er County is actually greater than that of ordinary people.

"I wonder how Zhao Xing is doing. Judging by the time, he should have finished reporting, right?" Long Xiao asked. "I don't know if he got a place."

"It doesn't matter whether he gets a ranking this time." Chen Shijie said calmly, "He was selected and transferred here after he became a clerk. I don't expect him to perform well. The focus is on the training afterwards."

"I am impressed by his potential. In one month, he should be able to make great progress."

"How do you know he won't slack off?" Long Xiao asked, "Maybe he will be proud of this, after all, he has skipped many steps."

"No, you don't understand him." Chen Shijie said firmly. "If he was relaxed, how could he know so many things? He knew about the military training of the military corps, the North Sea, and even the fact that the Water Book was originally placed on Zixiao Island... Such a person must have great ambitions in his heart and has already made plans for the future."

"That's true." Long Xiao touched his chin. "I'll write him a letter in a while to ask about the situation, and replace the Blood Evil Pearl and Blood Spirit Needle with what he needs."

"Change it to 'Thunder Stone', and then tell him to take the Thunder Stone to the armory to exchange it for points." Chen Shijie said. "He can choose what he needs. Remember, you should give him more. Don't forget that the armory's recycling ratio is different from the sales ratio. By the way, tell him about the various halls of the Sinong Supervisor, where he can gain enlightenment for free."

"I see. You're really worried and you're just like his father." Long Xiao said with a smile. "If it weren't for the fact that you two don't look alike and the time doesn't match, I would have suspected that he was your illegitimate child."

Chen Shijie just laughed it off.

Long Xiao looked in a certain direction and said, "In one month, he has to prepare for the branch test and practice asceticism. The time is quite tight. I don't know if he has really planned it out as you said."

March 2nd, at chen time.

Zhao Xing entered the Shiyang Cave Heaven at the hour of You on March 1st.

When we arrived at the Sinongjian, it was the end of the Xu hour.

It was close to midnight when we reported, checked in and got the classics.

It was already the first hour of the next day.

He had been meditating and training for four hours.

"hu~hu~"

Zhao Xing finally had to stop and rest. Even after taking the Giant Whale Pill, he still felt a burning pain in his lungs.

After running with the weight for four hours, Si Nong's body was now in a state of severe fatigue.

"At the beginning, you can use the method of comprehending the Nine Heavens Gale to divert your attention."

"In the last two quarters of an hour, I couldn't comprehend it at all."

"To return to the Way through asceticism is really to endure hardship."

At this moment, Zhao Xing had the idea that he would never borrow the road unless it was absolutely necessary.

But after a short rest, this thought disappeared.

He concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, sensing the fire element entangled in his body, which had now dissipated by one tenth.

"At the ninth level, one can travel a thousand miles a day. This means that within six hours during the day, one can travel a thousand miles."

"I only ran 300 miles in four hours."

"But I carried a weight of two thousand kilograms, so the effect should be multiplied by 10, which is equivalent to traveling three thousand miles." Zhao Xing lay on the ground, panting.

Carrying a weight of 2,000 kilograms is like carrying a dozen people on your back while running, which is extremely tiring.

But the advantage is that it saves time. At this rate, it will take about 7 days to repay the teachings of Lihuo Zhenjun.

"Gulong~Gulong~"

Zhao Xing summoned a small cloud, then turned sideways and buried himself in the cloud to drink water.

After drinking, he lay on the ground to rest.

"Austerity also has a training effect. If I continue, my energy and physical strength will improve." Zhao Xing comforted himself.

March 3rd, Mao hour.

"Whoo~"

A gust of green wind, like a piece of silk, floated around Zhao Xing and lifted him up.

"Shu~"

The next moment, the green wind blew violently into the distance, and Zhao Xing turned into a residual shadow and appeared at the other end of the courtyard.

"Woo-"

The sound of the wind was like a roar, quick and short, echoing in the ears.

"It seems that we are still far from the speed of a Ming."

Zhao Xing slowly fell from the sky.

Whether the secret techniques of body movement, magic spells and escape techniques, and the speed can break the sound barrier is a very critical criterion.

"Only after the seventh revolution and controlling the mighty wind can one break through the sound barrier."

"But this is much faster than when I use the beginner's wind."

After a day and a night of hard training, with Zhao Xing's comprehension, plus the perfect foundation of the initial stage of wind-raising, and the perfect understanding of Yin wind, he was able to apply what he had learned to other situations. He quickly comprehended the Gangfeng method and reached the third level.

"Nine Heavens Strong Wind is not only a lethal spell, but also includes body movement and defense skills."

"Control the wind and move. The body follows the wind and the sound follows the body. This means that you can use the wind to control the movement of your body in the air. After perfection, the person and the wind arrive, and the sound comes from behind."

"Nine turns of the strong wind, the blue dragon protects the body, and all magic is invulnerable. It means that after perfection, nine blue strong winds will surround the body, like nine blue dragons, and any magic spells will be blown away by the strong winds."

"When the nine gale winds turn, the Azure Dragon is born, wreaking havoc on the world. This means that after the nine gale winds are completed, the killing power of the nine gale winds is like nine Azure Dragons descending to wreak havoc on the world."

The description is very domineering, but that is talking about the power of the complete version of "Nine Heavens Strong Wind".

Now, all Zhao Xing can practice is the intermediate-level "Little Nine Heavenly Gangfeng".

"Reaching the third level in a short period of time is the limit if you rely on comprehension of a book that does not provide any bonuses."

Zhao Xing dispersed the strong wind and threw the book aside. Then he carried the bamboo box on his back and looked at another secret technique, "Rolling Mine".

Within seven days, he will try to complete the third level of Return to the Dao, Rolling Mine, and Gangfeng. This is the basic training he set for himself.

The progress is pretty good now. In just one day and one night, Xiaojiu Tiangangfeng has already reached the third level.

"Rolling mines are a pure attack spell. This Yin thunder method also has subsequent advancements."

"It has the same effect as Yin Feng. Both of them generate thunder from the earth veins. Other thunder methods fall from the sky, but rolling thunder emits thunder balls from the ground."

Zhao Xing carried a bamboo box on his back and ran barefoot in the courtyard to meditate. His courtyard with eighteen locust trees and willows covered a large area, almost as big as four football fields. This was the advantage of reporting first.

If you come late, you can only live in a townhouse. Not to mention practicing, if there is no isolation array, you might even hear your neighbor’s snoring.

"Thump thump thump!" Heavy footsteps sounded in the courtyard. Zhao Xing began to meditate and also began today's ascetic practice.
