Chapter 116: Dual Magics in One, Divine Guardian, Express Delivery from Xi'er County (Part )
Taicangyuan.

The reporting had already ended at this time, but Lupin and Zuo Zizhi were still busy. They still had to preside over the next branch test.

Both Lupin and the other man had military duties to attend to and took their missions very seriously, so they would occasionally observe various treasured sites to see how the new recruits were comprehending.

We will even modify and adjust the future branch levels based on these situations.

"The Wanxing Underground Palace has appeared again." Zuo Zizhi looked helplessly at the situation of the 72 Underground Palaces. "Gong Wuhou is old, but he still has a childish heart. He is here to tease these new recruits again."

Lu Bang looked at the mysterious underground palace and couldn't help but smile: "It's good that he can come to Shiyang Cave Heaven. If other military commanders knew, they would be eager for him to go and have some fun."

Zuo Zizhi said, "Yes, he is the honorary vice president of Dihu Daoyuan, an old-fashioned martial marquis who became famous three hundred years ago. He is also a third-rank expert. Others would not beg him to come... It was only at the invitation of the military that the commanders of the nine garrisons went to ask for his services, and only then did they agree to sit down at Shiyang Dongtian."

"I've been here for three years, and this underground palace has only appeared a few times during the early stages of recruit training." Lupin said, "Don't tell me, I want to go and comprehend it, but I'm not allowed to."

"Yes, anyone above the eighth rank will not show up in the Wanxing Underground Palace." Zuo Zizhi was helpless, "You said he lived in the Wanxing Courtyard for such a long time, but no one was able to knock on his door. There were many people who disturbed him, but he directly ordered that no one was allowed to come near. It's really weird."

"The older you get, the more you act like a child," Lupin said, "Old and young, old and young, when you and I are seven or eight hundred years old, we might become strange."

“Seven hundred or eight hundred years?” Zuo Zizhi shook his head. “I don’t expect to live that long. I’ll be satisfied if I can live five hundred years.”

The two chatted and did not take the scene that appeared in the Wanxing Underground Palace seriously.

However, after a few days, the Wanxing Underground Palace still existed, and it appeared more and more frequently, which surprised Lupin and Zuo Zizhi.

"Hmm? Are they the two little guys from the Shenwei Army, Zhao Xing and Han Bing?"

"The Wanxing Underground Palace is here to stay for the two of them?"

"Look, Zhao Xing closed his eyes. Is he smiling?"

"Did you figure out the method?"

[You spent several days in front of the Wanxing Underground Palace, and comprehended the intermediate spell 'God-like Guardian' (Special).]

[Divine Guardian: Intermediate Spell]

[Progress: Fourth level (4253/18000)]

[Effect: It is a combination of the Divine Travel Underground Palace Method and the Mysterious Earth Guardian Method. After casting the spell, an octagonal palace will immediately form with the caster as the center. It can also make the Underground Palace sink into the ground and sneak through the ground veins. The fourth level of Divine Travel Guardian can sneak through the four types of ground veins: earth, gold, wind, and thunder.]

"It's actually a mausoleum of various shapes. No wonder it's so difficult." Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

After realizing the method, he understood it immediately.

The Wanxing Underground Palace is somewhat similar to Wanfa Lingxiu and Wanfa Cloud Map.

However, this technique is more sophisticated than the Cloud Map of All Things.

Of course, it cannot be called the true Wanfa. In fact, it only includes the Underground Palace Method and the Mysterious Earth Method.

If it is a real Wanfa Underground Palace, it combines the four major categories of Ksitigarbha, Underground Palace, Cracked Earth and Mysterious Earth, and it is all-encompassing.

This one obviously hasn't reached that level yet.

"The Wanxing Underground Palace is already very powerful. It combines two methods into one, combining the divine movement and the underground palace method. This must have been created by at least a third-grade strong man." Zhao Xing said secretly.

By learning the Divine Movement Guardian Technique, Zhao Xing had equivalent to learning the Divine Movement Underground Palace Technique and the Mysterious Earth Guardian Technique.

Since the combination of two spells is more difficult, these spells are very special.

The upper limit is much higher than that of ordinary mid-level spells.

"I have learned eighteen spells. It can be said that I have learned a technique that is comparable to a high-level one."

"This type of spell is even more difficult to obtain than high-level spells."

Why is it so rare?
If you put the Divine Guardian together with another high-level method, and take them to Lihuo Taoist Academy to take the exam for an honorary title.

It must be that the God of Protection was chosen.

Because the learning threshold of the two is lower, the Divine Guardian is lower, but the power is the same.

Divine Guardian can be comprehended step by step from a lower threshold, from one to ten.

But for high-level spells, the difficulty of comprehending them is directly ten.

"When sneaking through the earth veins, with this octagonal underground palace, my safety factor is greatly enhanced." Zhao Xing said secretly.

He remembered the man who had sneaked underground in the Wanli minefield before.

If that person is walking on a tightrope, then I am riding a cable car.

Suppose two people are fighting and chasing each other while sneaking underground.

I am faster, and when fighting starts, my opponent will fall with one hit from my Divine Guardian.

“This trip was worthwhile.”

Zhao Xing smiled, and the anxiety of many days turned into joy.

Although eight days were wasted, I was able to comprehend the dual-method divine protection from the Wanxing Underground Palace. Once I comprehended it, I reached the fourth level, which was definitely worth it.

"I don't know who the owner of this Wanxing Underground Palace is."

Such a strong person must be famous.

But he didn't think too much about it.

"Han Bing is still trying to figure it out." Zhao Xing looked at Han Bing's back, still immersed in the pursuit. "I hope he can figure out what he wants."

Without disturbing anyone, Zhao Xing left quietly.

The third turn of Xiaojiu Tiangangfeng, the fourth turn of Rolling Landmine, and the fourth turn of Divine Guardian.

Zhao Xing's basic training has achieved the expected results.

After he went back and had a big meal, he immediately rushed to another place to meditate and begin advanced training.

"Fifteen days left."

"I will try to learn three new spells and try to make one of them reach the seventh level."

"If one of them breaks through the seventh level, the goal will be achieved through advanced training."

“If there are two doors, it’s a pleasant surprise.”

"It is unlikely that all three gates are above the seventh level."

Comprehension also requires a gradual process, and Zhao Xing did not set too many limits for himself.

Sometimes being too impatient may not lead to achieving the desired results.

"If you want to increase the power of your spells, comprehending a single spell is one aspect, and practicing the Solar Terms, Hou Tu Gui Yuan, and Yin Yang Ben I Sutra is another aspect."

The solar terms order and Hou Tu Gui Yuan are also methods of enlightenment.

The solar term map can create a more favorable weather for spells. Hou Tu's return to the origin also changes the geographical advantages, which is equivalent to giving the spells an extra layer of enhancement.

As for the Yin-Yang Self Sutra, it is about cultivating oneself and the "five inner elements". Zhao Xing plans to study it after the branch is closed.

The sixteenth day, midnight.

Zhao Xing came to the Xuantu Prison in Diliyuan.

Many strange underground beasts are imprisoned in this prison.

The strength of each one is extremely terrifying, making people feel scared when watching them.

These strange beasts living underground have talents that are similar to geomancy.

Even many human spells were created by observing these strange beasts.

At this time, Zhao Xing was standing outside a huge cell that was more than ten meters high, watching a strange beast with many arthropods going crazy inside.

"The colorful centipede likes damp and dark swamps. It is extremely poisonous and good at hiding. Its tentacles wave like the wind and are extremely powerful."

"It is considered a relatively ferocious beast underground. It can live up to a thousand years and grow to the fifth rank."

"Its innate ability can affect and distort the earth veins. No matter how hard the rock is, it becomes soft in front of it. Its innate ability can invisibly utilize the power of earth, water, and metal in the earth veins."

Zhao Xing watched quietly, verifying what he had learned with the Divine Movement Guardian.

There are two species of centipede: the five-colored centipede and the green water centipede, one male and one female.

The colorful centipede went crazy at this time because there was a mirage bead next to it, which preserved the scene of the green water centipede being killed.

[You observed the five-colored centipede using its innate talent and gained some insights. Your progress in the Divine Guardian spell is +25]

[You observed the five-colored centipede using its innate talent and gained some insights. Your progress in the Divine Guardian spell is +55]

[You observed the five-colored centipede using its innate talent and gained some insights. Your progress in the Divine Guardian spell is +35]

Half an hour later, the colorful centipedes disappeared.

We can't let it go crazy all the time, we have to reuse it.

After half an hour of hard work, it was almost done.

Zhao Xing walked towards the next prison.

Day .

Zhao Xing left Xuantu Prison.

[Divine Guardian: Intermediate Spell]

[Progress: Sixth level (6005/18000)]

"In four days, I have gained a lot. Although I have only improved by two levels, this spell is a combination of two methods."

"It seems that it has only improved by two levels, but in fact, my Divine Travel Underground Palace and Mysterious Earth Guardian have both improved by two levels, and even the Infinite Underground Palace is almost reaching the ninth level."

The power of the two spells combined is naturally different, and one can also have a more thorough understanding of the mysteries of the spells.

"Go to the Earth Vein Palace."

Zhao Xing flew eastward.

"In the Geophysical Hall, there are nineteen geophysical maps, which depict tens of thousands of geophysical veins in the nineteen states."

"To comprehend it is equivalent to observing an infinite number of preaching paintings." "Whether I can break through the seventh level depends on it."

If you have to choose a spell to break through to the seventh level, then Divine Guardian is naturally more cost-effective.

It has the functions of attack, defense, and travel, and the spell power is greater than normal mid-level spells.

Just when Zhao Xing was rushing to the Earth Vein Palace.

Sudden--

The ground mirror trembled.

"Ok?"

Zhao Xing took out the ground mirror and looked at it in confusion.

[Fan Zhaoli, the commander of the agricultural department, determined the weather and changed it, turning waste into treasure. After two years, he transformed the 300-li area of ​​the Shiyang Cave Heaven's 'Daofeng Mountain' into a treasure land.]

[From now on, Daofeng Mountain can stably produce eight kinds of fourth-level fruits and one fifth-level native treasure, the 'Heavenly Snake Fruit', so Fan Zhaoli will be awarded 10 billion points! To reward his work! This notice is specially issued to congratulate the commander 'Fan Zhaoli'! ]

[The arsenal has added a new fifth-tier treasure, the 'Snake Fruit', priced at 40 points per piece. ]

"What? Someone transformed the precious land and was rewarded with 10 billion points?" Zhao Xing raised his eyebrows.

"Can it stably produce the fifth-level native treasure, the Heavenly Serpent Fruit?"

"The weather and land veins within a radius of 300 miles have been transformed. It's really amazing."

Zhao Xing knew how difficult it was to turn a wasteland into a treasure land.

It is easy to destroy, but difficult to transform.

There is no doubt that this is a long-term battle.

"Two years, 10 billion points. I guess these 10 billion points don't belong to Fan Zhaoli alone, but to the whole team." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Every time a treasure is upgraded to a higher level, its value will increase by a level.

The fourth-level treasures that can be mass-produced usually do not exceed ten thousand.

If it cannot be mass-produced, the price will definitely be over ten thousand yuan, or even tens of thousands.

For fifth-level treasures, those that can be mass-produced basically cost more than ten thousand, and for those that cannot be mass-produced, the upper limit may reach several hundred thousand.

The Heavenly Snake Fruit is a treasure from its place of origin, which means it can only be produced in Shiyang Cave.

At the beginning, it was not yet fully mass-produced, so a price of four or five hundred thousand per piece was normal.

Once mass production is possible, the price will come down.

Being able to mass produce is a great achievement, and the reward of 10 billion points is not too much.

"If Fan Zhaoli had this many points, I'm afraid the military would have promoted him. At the very least, he would have been promoted to the casual rank."

Zhao Xing put away the earth mirror and continued walking towards the Earth Vein Hall.

It was too early for him to do these things at the moment. The most important thing at the moment was to prepare for the one-month separation test.

Day 24.

In the Earth Vein Hall.

Zhao Xing sat cross-legged in front of a mural.

At this time, many people were sitting in this wide mural gallery, meditating.

Anyone who practices the magic of the Dili School and comprehends the flow of the various veins in the 19 states will be able to gain some insights.

[Divine Guardian: Intermediate Spell]

[Progress: Sixth level (6995/18000)]

"I have made a lot of progress in understanding this mural. In four days, my progress has increased by 990 points."

"But I have been meditating here for four days."

"But the Divine Movement Guardian has still not broken through to the seventh level."

"The progress bar is only five points away. The last five points, is it so difficult?"

Although I came to the Earth Vein Hall to comprehend the murals, I did gain something from it.

The progress also increased from 6005 to 6995.
But that was the takeaway from the first three days.

I didn't gain anything the whole day today.

"Free stuff really isn't good stuff."

Zhao Xing shook his head.

It doesn't look like a fourth-level preaching painting at all, the effect is amazing.

The resources on display for free are indeed helpful to the recruits, but these free treasures also have a limit.

It is quite difficult to break through a double-magic spell to the seventh level in a short period of time.

"I only have a little over a thousand points, and I can't even buy a fourth-tier painting in the armory."

Zhao Xing was looking through the ground mirror.

A preaching painting must be at least of the fourth-grade, top-grade quality to have any effect on him now.

But each of the fourth-grade, top-quality preaching paintings costs three thousand points!
This is still a discount, after all, the military is cheaper than outside.

What Lu Qian and Zong Shichang bought at the beginning were worth more than three thousand taels, and Lu Qian's Wanfa Cloud Map was worth more than six thousand taels.

"If I want to make the Divine Movement Guardian break through, I need at least two corresponding preaching paintings, the Divine Movement Underground Palace and the Mysterious Earth Guardian. In other words, I need at least 6,000 points."

"I can't get any missions right now, where do I get points? How about finding someone to fight with?"

To fight with someone, you just need to find someone to compete with and use points as stakes.

Now, over the past twenty days, many people have taken this opportunity to gain points from others.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Xing gave up the idea.

"Everyone is so poor. A new recruit only has 100 points. I'm afraid they have all been used up in the past twenty days. There's no point in betting a dozen or twenty points."

"Those who have a few thousand points may not be able to win the bet."

"Long Xiao and Lao Chen, why haven't you delivered the goods to me yet? It's been so long."

The Blood Spirit Needle and Blood Evil Pearl that Zhao Xing had obtained were both fourth-level treasures, which he gave to Long Xiao and Lao Chen.

Ten days ago, he received a letter from Lao Chen saying that he would send some things over.

I don’t know why it hasn’t been delivered yet.

"Maybe something delayed it."

"Forget it, I'm only five points away from making a breakthrough. I don't necessarily need the points to make a breakthrough."

Zhao Xing continued to look at the mural.

Time passed, and Zhao Xing stayed in the Earth Vein Hall for another four days.

His eyes never left the mural.

In front of him at this moment were the seven main earth veins of Pinghai Prefecture. These seven main earth veins corresponded to gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder.

Each vein is very stable and flows very slowly. If you don't look closely, you can't even notice it.

"It is so difficult to shake the earth veins of a state."

"The Infinite Underground Palace and the Divine Underground Palace can collapse some small ground veins in some places, but the ground veins of the Nineteen States are of such a level that even the fifth grade can hardly shake them, let alone the ninth grade."

“Strong, extremely stable, embracing everything, nurturing all life.”

Zhao Xing watched quietly.

Unconsciously, he used his keen observation ability to see more clearly.

And at a certain moment, a meteor suddenly streaked across his vision.

The flow rate of the huge and stable earth veins suddenly increased, and Zhao Xing also saw the second layer.

"I see."

Zhao Xing smiled, stood up and walked out of the Earth Vein Hall.

[Divine Guardian: Intermediate Spell]

[Progress: Seventh Turn (7001/18000)]

On the twenty-eighth day, his Divine Guard successfully broke through to the seventh level.

"There are only two days left before the branch campus. If I can successfully practice the seventh level of Divine Movement Guardian, I have completed the advanced training plan."

Zhao Xing was still very satisfied with this result.

Rolling mines and Xiaojiu Tiangangfeng, although only at the third or fourth level, but three or four levels are not too bad.

Want to master every spell? To turn a genius into a jack of all trades? That would require a lot of time and resources.

"Om~"

At this moment, the ground mirror in his arms trembled.

Zhao Xing took out the ground mirror and found that it was Long Xiao who contacted him.

"He has arrived at the Ten Sun Cave Heaven?"

Di Jing can only contact in Shiyang Cave Heaven. Long Xiao and Lao Chen used to write letters.

Now that we are communicating through the ground mirror, of course people are here in person.

"Zhao Xing, where are you? I'm delivering the goods to you!"

　Finally finished writing. Actually I finished one chapter in the afternoon, but I wanted to let everyone enjoy it all at once, so I posted it all at once. As a result, it took me until 11 o'clock... I will try to update earlier tomorrow! I will try not to do it so late! Thank you for your understanding!
