Chapter 123: Three Secret Books, the content of the required training is announced (the third update)
【Diyuan Zhu Fruit】

[Grade: Fourth-grade mid-level]

[Effects: Contains rich and easily absorbed vital energy, which has a marrow-cleansing effect on the body. ]

[Arsenal Price: 3000 Points, Recycling: 2400 Points]

Zhao Xing compared the prices of treasures in the armory and discovered that the Diyuan Zhu Fruit was actually a treasure native to Shiyang Cave Heaven.

"There is also a fifth-grade Tianyuan Zhu fruit, which costs 3 yuan, which is ten times more expensive. However, you have to be at least eighth-grade to take it. Normally, seventh-grade ones are used for cultivation."

"If a ninth-rank person were to consume the Tianyuan Zhu Fruit, he would probably die of overeating."

Tian Yan gave a total of 10 Diyuan Zhu fruits.

Obviously he had done his homework and knew that Zhao Xing was only at the fifteenth level of Juyuan, so the gift he gave was what Zhao Xing needed.

"My understanding of Taoism is sufficient. As long as I gather my energy, I can break through to the eighth level." Zhao Xing looked at the ten Earth Yuan Red Fruits and was overjoyed. "Marquis Tian really knows how to give gifts."

After the branch is completed, no matter what level you are at, at this beginning stage, many people who are at a sufficient level will choose to upgrade their Ju Yuan level and break through to the eighth level.

Of course, for those with worse resources and treatment, it may take some time to break through.

【Hundred Beast Throat Pill】

[Grade: Fourth-order lower grade]

[Effects: Made from the vocal cords of hundreds of exotic animals, it can strengthen the throat after taking it.]

[Arsenal Price: 2000 Points, Recycling: 1600 Points]

【Earthly Evil Lung Training Pill】

[Fourth-level inferior]

[Effects: Contains the power of the Earthly Evil, and taking it can strengthen the lungs. ]

[Arsenal Price: 2000 Points, Recycling: 1600 Points]

"Huh? Why are there these two things?" Zhao Xing looked a little strange.

He was not unfamiliar with the Hundred Beasts Throat Pill and the Earthly Demon Lung Training Pill, because he took them quite frequently during a certain period of his career as Si Nong.

But is there any hidden purpose behind Lord Tian's gift?

"Could it be related to the subsequent training?"

"Is the first set of compulsory training courses in Shiyang Cave Heaven [Untrainable]?"

Zhao Xing thought it was very likely.

But it was still early, so he put aside the three Hundred Beast Throat Pills and two Earthly Evil Lung Training Pills for the time being.

"Take the Diyuan Zhuguo first."

Zhao Xing picked up a red, fist-sized fruit and began to eat it.

Hot. Very hot.

After Zhao Xing swallowed the red fruit, he felt hot all over.

It was as if I had a high fever.

"In addition to the rich vitality, the Earth Origin Vermillion Fruit also seems to carry a fire force that is forging my body."

"Yes, it has some marrow cleansing effects."

Zhao Xing did not resist, nor did he use magic to cool himself down, just letting himself sweat profusely.

As this burning force dissipated.

He began to sweat all over, and his muscles and skin turned red.

But the effect is also significant.

As soon as he took it, Zhao Xing's Yuan Gathering progress jumped up.

[You have taken the Earthly Yuan Vermillion Fruit. After initial digestion, your Yuan Gathering progress has increased by 501.]

[Ju Yuan: Level 7525 (10000/)]

"What a strong effect! I just took it and it increased my progress by 20%."

"This is just the beginning."

Zhao Xing closed his eyes and practiced the Yuan Ju Gong method, controlling the Yuan Qi to flow throughout his body.

[You have taken the Earthly Yuan Vermilion Fruit, and further digested its effects. Your Yuan Gathering progress has increased by 1521.]

[You have taken the Earthly Vermilion Fruit and absorbed the Vermilion Fruit's energy deeply. Your Energy Gathering progress has increased by 1022.]

[You have taken the Earthly Vermilion Fruit and absorbed the Vermilion Fruit's energy deeply. Your Energy Gathering progress has increased by 852.]

[Ju Yuan: Level 881 (10000/)]

"Whoo~"

Zhao Xing exhaled a breath, and seeing that the effect of the red fruit was completely digested, he cast a spell to clean the stains on his body.

"After the breakthrough, the effectiveness of the Vermillion Fruit increased by 920 points, but when it was converted to the sixteenth level of Ju Yuan, it only increased by 881 points, which was a decrease of several dozen points. However, the effect is still strong."

Although the upper limit of each stage is 1, this limit has actually become higher. Every time you break through, it becomes more difficult to gain progress points.

The value remains unchanged, but the gold content it represents becomes higher.

"If I reach level 50, even if I take 1 Earth Yuan Vermillion Fruits, I probably won't be able to increase my progress by even point. However, I'm only level nine, so the effect will be diminishing."

Zhao Xing rested for a while, waiting for the burning sensation to disappear.

"Write a letter to Lao Chen and his friends to report the good news."

Zhao Xing found paper and pen to write the letter, then placed an order on the ground mirror and called a courier.

Not long after, a mechanic riding a bamboo horse and carrying a package appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

"Do you want it to be rushed?" the engineer asked lazily.

"How to calculate expedited service?"

"It takes ten days to deliver to Xi'er County normally, but only three days if it's expedited. But the fee will increase from 1 point to 3 points."

"Does it cost this much to send a letter to the army?"

"You are delivering a private letter. If you want to transfer it through the military delivery channel, you can go to the temple and deliver it yourself."

"Forget it, I'll go by myself."

The engineer didn't say much and just rode away on his bamboo horse.

Zhao Xing was just about to go to the temple to receive teachings and learn the three secret books.

It is better to use public resources in vain and just go out and take a few steps. After all, three points are money!

There is also a temple in the Shiyang Cave Heaven, right in Yangcheng.

Compared with the temple in Gucheng.

The temples here are obviously different, they are larger and of a higher level.

When Zhao Xing entered the temple, he also felt something distinctly different.

Most of the statues enshrined in the temple look ferocious and evil.

"All of them are in armor and armed with weapons, in a fighting stance."

Zhao Xing silently scanned all the statues and finally chose Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng was the Minister of Agriculture during the reign of Emperor Taizu, holding the first rank.

He was granted the title of Duke during his lifetime, and became a first-rank Yin God after his death.

The specifications of Wu Cheng Temple in Kyoto and Nanzheng are both at the duke level.

However, the avatar enshrined here is only of the fourth rank, and the statue looks relatively young.

"Zhao Xing, the Minister of Agriculture, seeks the law of the Solar Terms Order."

After Zhao Xing offered incense, he knelt on the cushion and muttered something.

"Om~"

The diagram of the twenty-four solar terms appeared in his mind.

Unlike the period in Gucheng, the diagram of the twenty-four solar terms that emerged this time was obviously clearer and less blurry.

Twenty-four patterns, spinning in my mind.

If you master one of them, the visualization image will hover in your Dantian.

The method of transformation enters the Dantian and condenses the order of the solar terms.

At this point, the caster can use one of the solar terms orders to replace the surrounding environment.

Even the beginning of commanding the solar terms can be achieved.

"The Solar Terms Order has a strong effect on magic. You can also learn new spells from the solar terms and even break through your limits."

“The twenty-four solar terms charts have infinite uses and can be used throughout your life.”

"Thank you, Master!"

After Zhao Xing obtained the complete version of the visualization diagram, he stood up and burned incense again.

Ask for the second secret book.

"Zhao Xing, the Minister of Agriculture, seeks the method of "Hou Tu Gui Yuan"."

Then concentrate and calm your mind.

After a moment, another phantom of sand appeared in my mind.

A grain of sand is a miniature continent.

There are billions of veins flowing across the continent.

All of them are condensed into the phantom of sand the size of rice grains.

"If you cultivate to the 50th level of Ju Yuan, and comprehend the operation of the 49 state-level earth veins, you can condense pure Yuan soil in your Dantian."

"Hou Tu Gui Yuan and Di Zang Gui Yuan are two different secret books. The former is to comprehend and master the earth veins, while the latter is to utilize the earth veins."

Hou Tu’s return to the origin is the analysis of the essence of the Great Dao, and Di Zang’s return to the origin is a teaching, which is the manifestation and application of the Dao.

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhao Xing stood up again and lit the third stick of incense.

"Zhao Xing, the Minister of Agriculture, seeks the law of the Yin-Yang Original Self Sutra."

The Self School also has two magical classics, one is "The Chart of the Growth of All Things" and the other is "The Yin-Yang Self Sutra".

The growth chart of all things is to observe the growth trajectory of all things from the outside, observe the essence of life, and then break through the shackles of life.

Zhao Xing's intermediate spell [Wild Growth] and the basic spell [Thriving Growth] are both included in the "Growth Chart of All Things".

The Yin-Yang Original Self Sutra is about looking inward on oneself and cultivating the inner circulation of the five elements.

Use the power of the five elements to strengthen the five internal organs.

At this time, Zhao Xing was only at the ninth rank, so of course he chose the "Yin Yang Self Sutra" which would be more effective for him. As for the "Diagram of the Growth of All Things", he could put it off for a while, as the time to really put in a lot of effort to comprehend it had not yet come.

"Om~"

The statue cast golden light, covering its entire body.

At this moment, Zhao Xing immediately entered the state of [introspection of oneself].

He saw his heart beating and his spleen and stomach moving from a unique perspective.

Gradually these organs became virtual and turned into five different kinds of "qi".

Following the guidance of the golden light, the five different kinds of energy converged with each other, dispersed with each other, and connected with the outside world.

The rhythm of life energy is in the breath. "Yin and Yang are the essence of self, and the Five Elements cultivate the self."

“Always maintain the balance of the five elements within you. When you circulate the five elements, you will gradually discover the wonders of your body.”

Zhao Xing was immersed in introspection.

During the official promotion assessment, he was unable to look inward.

But now with the guidance of the golden light, he did it easily.

"Whoo~"

Zhao Xing let out a long breath, and there was a slight burning sensation in the breath.

"My five elements are not balanced. I didn't realize it before, but now after introspection, I can see it."

"That is the remaining fire power after taking the Earth Yuan Vermillion Fruit."

"The internal five elements will circulate and adjust to eliminate this trace of residue."

Zhao Xing looked at the panel.

[Ju Yuan: Level 971 (10000/)]

After the discharge, the progress of gathering Yuan increased by another 90 points.

"All medicines are poisonous, let alone a treasure that can provide such a huge improvement."

“But now that I have practiced the Yin-Yang Self Sutra and am always observing myself, I can expel the harmful qi from my body.”

"After concentrating on introspection and circulating internally for several days, the inner heavenly time begins to take shape."

"From now on, there will be no need for the almanac to tell the time."

Zhao Xing said secretly.

By cultivating the Yin and Yang Self within, the sense of time will become extremely accurate.

Even in the era of Qiyun Dynasty, the Yin-Yang Self Sutra still has many magical aspects.

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhao Xing bowed and then walked out of the temple.

Seeking the Dharma is only the first step.

If you want to really get started, you still have to rely on your own understanding.

“The 108 stone tablets of Tianshiyuan, the original dojo of Taicangyuan, and the 36 waterways of Pinghuaiyuan can all help people understand.”

"I can go in twice for free."

A superior treatment, the precious land of this institute can be visited for free three times, and the other branches can be visited for free twice.

"But I'm not in a hurry to go now. I'll wait until I hit a bottleneck. After all, this opportunity is rare."

The visualization diagram of the twenty-four solar terms and the shadow of Hou Tu in Zhao Xing's mind are still clearly visible.

If you feel that your visualization is covered with a layer of dust, it means that you have reached a bottleneck.

"I almost forgot that I haven't sent the letter to Lao Chen yet."

Zhao Xing just stepped out of the door and turned back.

But this time he did not go to the Wu Chenggong Palace, but to another hall.

"The Marquis of Divine Speed, Dai Zong."

Zhao Xing looked at the statue standing in the hall.

The statue is in a walking posture, with floating clouds carved under its feet and a mailbox on its back.

"Please deliver the message, Master."

After Zhao Xing lit a stick of incense, he threw the letter into the incense burner.

"Whoo~"

The flame from the incense burner jumped and quickly engulfed the letter.

Zhao Xing took a look and saw no ashes or anything being bounced out, so he knew that the letter had been sent.

"Thank you, Master Zhenjun, for sending the letter."

After delivering the letter, he left.

A Yin spirit of Dai Zong's level sent a message that arrived in an instant.

However, it takes time for the letter to reach Lao Chen and others, and it also takes time to read and reply to it.

Zhao Xing didn't wait and left the temple directly.

A quarter of an hour later, Xi'er County.

The marching hall of the Shenwei Army.

"Whoo~"

There is a row of fireplaces in the hall that are burning all year round. The fireplaces are about one meter high and enshrine different statues of gods.

At the first statue of Dai Zong on the left, flames suddenly appeared.

Then he spat out a secret letter.

"Hmm? A secret letter from Shiyang Cave Heaven."

Chen Shijie, who was deducing with Long Xiao in front of the sand table, immediately turned around and walked to the fireplace.

"Thank you, Master, for sending the letter."

After saying thank you, Chen Shijie picked up the secret letter and took a look.

I found out that the signature was actually Zhao Xing.

"Which department is the secret letter from Shiyang Cave Heaven from?" Long Xiao asked curiously.

"It's Zhao Xing." Chen Shijie scolded with a smile, "This kid is too bad. He actually used the intelligence channel to send private letters. Didn't you send him the Thunder Stone? Why didn't he even send an expedited letter and had to trouble Dai Zong to deliver the letter?"

"Next time, I have to remind him not to use the military channel for personal letters."

Long Xiao argued: "He is a key talent to be trained. How can his growth process not be considered as a kind of intelligence?"

"..."

Chen Shijie actually felt that what Long Xiao said made a lot of sense.

He opened the secret letter and immediately smiled.

"How is it? What did you say?!" Long Xiao looked away from the sand table and asked curiously, "Don't just laugh, what did you write?"

Chen Shijie passed the letter over: "Read it for yourself."

"Wow! The first level is about tipping off. This test is too sinister."

"In the battle of clouds, he taught Li Feng of the Tiger Dragon Army a lesson and eliminated the guy who ranked sixth in the internal selection? It's so exciting, hahaha!"

"Thunder Hunting, ranked ninth?"

"Yufaguan ranked third and finally entered Diliyuan, where he got top-level training resources!"

Long Xiao looked at the letter and danced with joy, as if he had witnessed Zhao Xing passing through one level after another with his own eyes.

"He actually got into one of the four major colleges. Fortunately, Han Bing is not the only one in the Sinology department." Long Xiao was very happy after reading it. "He's doing well! Han Bing only got the resources of the A-level department."

"It's for honor." Chen Shijie also laughed. "I brought him to the Shenwei Army and skipped so many procedures. There were many people gossiping outside. Now he has entered the Dili Academy, worshipped Tian Hou, and has Class A superior resources. Humph, let's see who dares to say anything."

"Of course I dare to say it!"

"Ok?"

"Then I have to say that you, Old Chen, have good taste, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

April 7th, three days had passed since the branch was established.

Although the branch has been settled, Yangcheng seems to be more lively.

Because the vast majority of people are not satisfied with their own branches.

Why do others have one-on-one tutoring while I have to attend public classes with a bunch of smelly guys?

We all have two shoulders to support one head, so don’t I deserve a place for myself? !
Roll! Roll hard!

For three days, the reserve soldiers worked hard and trained madly, hoping to change their current situation in the subsequent mandatory training.

"It's really crowded outside." Zhao Xing stood inside the underground palace, looking at the crowd outside, and couldn't help but smile.

Now he is meditating in the Seventy-two Underground Palaces. It is very spacious here, with only about twenty to thirty people in total.

Not only reservists, some are also active agriculture officers.

"I feel like the people outside are looking at us with murderous intent." Zhao Xing looked at Han Bing next to him, "Do you think someone would throw stones at me if I go out for a walk?"

"If you really do this, you might get peed on." Han Bing said coldly.

"Isn't it forbidden to pee?"

"But it is not forbidden to bring a urinal." Han Bing said calmly, "If I splash it on your face, it doesn't count as peeing."

"Hiss, is this okay?"

"I don't know if it will work, why don't you try it."

"Forget it then."

……

In terms of magic, the Underground Palace Magic and the Mysterious Earth Magic are the focus of Zhao Xing's comprehension.

Especially the Divine Movement Guardian, which is a combination of two techniques, and is the most important part of his breakthrough.

This spell has great potential. After Zhao Xing obtained the opportunity to enter the underground palace, he immediately called Han Bing to come over to study it.

"The Divine Traveling Underground Palace, and the Mysterious Soil Guardian. The combination of the two can actually form an underground palace for stealth in the earth veins." Zhao Xing sat in a place in the underground palace, watching the internal structure of the [Divine Traveling Underground Palace].

"Wonderful, really wonderful."

The Divine Underground Palace Method broke through to the eighth level on the fourth day after the branch was closed.

The Xuantu Guardian Method broke through the eighth level on the fifth day.

On the sixth day, Zhao Xing completed the fusion of the two methods, allowing the Divine Guardian to break through the eighth level.

The contemplation of the trip to the underground palace is over.

On the ninth day, the sixth Diyuan Zhu Fruit was taken.

Zhao Xing’s Ju Yuan level has reached more than half of the eighteenth level.

It was on this day that he came to Tian Hou's Fuchun Garden and heard the news about Bi Xun.

"The first mandatory training is [Untrainable]," Tian Yan introduced, "The content has been determined."

"The training will last for a month. During the training, no magic is allowed. It will be purely physical combat."

"The purpose is to improve the melee ability of the agricultural officers who are unable to use magic in extreme environments."

"The results of the training will be tested in a month."

"This time, we will find warriors from various armies to serve as sparring partners for Sinong's [Unable to Train]. They will not show mercy. If you don't want to be beaten black and blue, you have to make more preparations in the next twenty days and break through to the eighth level as soon as possible."
