Chapter 131 The second compulsory training lesson: I will plant seeds for you to eat!

"Fourth, scoring standard. If you produce 100 kilograms of [Level Supplies] every day, you will get a basic score of points. The higher the level of the supplies and the greater the quantity, the more extra points you will get."

"Fifth, Si Nong can obtain normal food, but cannot take elixirs or use treasures other than the standard ones."

"Sixth, [Supply Training] will last for one month, and the ranking will be calculated based on the final points."

When the new compulsory training curriculum was announced, the people in the Ministry of Agriculture became a little agitated.

Many people have had this kind of [supply training] in their previous armies, but it is obviously more difficult here.

"To grow a thousand kilograms of second-level supplies in one day? That requires second-level plants. Isn't that too difficult?!"

"The factors of time and place have too much influence. The environment is random. Who knows what harsh environment you will encounter?"

"It shouldn't be too harsh. If it's like the five suns in the sky, the ground fire is strong, and there's no water, who can grow crops?"

"No food for half a month, and they are eliminated directly? Yes, if they don't have food for half a month, the warriors will probably be starving to the point of being skin and bones. How can they have the strength to fight?"

Zhao Xing was not too surprised when he heard the content of the second compulsory training course.

"I grow what you eat" is the classic training course of the military agriculture department.

Farming is the main job of the military agriculture officer.

Military farmers not only have to know how to farm, but the standards are also very strict.

Given the vast territory of the Great Zhou, if we rely on transporting food from the rear, it will never be enough.

Who can withstand hundreds of thousands of kilometers of grain transportation lines?

Moreover, the appetite of entry-level warriors is astonishing. If they cannot eat on the spot, they will not be able to survive by relying on luck.

Equipping the army with agricultural officials is equivalent to equipping the army with batches of mobile granaries!
War gains and the like are secondary, solving the problem of food is the key!
"As long as the military farmer carries a bamboo box and the environment is suitable, one military farmer can feed an entire army."

"But the environment can't always be suitable. Supply training is to test the grain production level of the military agriculture in various environments." Zhao Xing thought. "This supply training is probably an all-round training."

Since we have mentioned the right time and the right place, the influence of these two factors must be significant.

"Within half a month, I must master a solar term order and a geomantic spell as soon as possible, and also master the plant version of Ksitigarbha Guiyuan."

During the period when he [could not train], Zhao Xing had also been comprehending the three secret books. His progress was not slow, but not fast either, after all, his energy was limited.

When the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced the mandatory training content.

On Wu Si's side, someone was also shouting.

"The second compulsory training course is called [Environmental Training]!"

"You will be thrown into a variety of environments, including high-temperature areas, miasma areas, and icy areas... In different environments, you must maintain high-intensity physical training."

"During this process, you still need to focus on practicing the Gluttony Method."

"Because there will be fast-food training during this period, your food will be provided by Si Nong."

"I can tell you clearly that most of the food grown by the Ministry of Agriculture this time is very unpalatable, and some are even poisonous. However, this is the perfect time to train you in the 'Gluttony Method'!"

"You don't have much time to eat on the battlefield. Sometimes you have to eat poisonous food to survive, but you also recover your strength and vitality. The faster an army recovers, the better the outcome of the battle. Even if there is some poisoning and sequelae, it can be completely compensated by doctors and pharmacists afterwards!"

"So you must finish eating the food produced by the farmers within a limited time. Whoever eats more, eats faster, and can last longer will be the scoring criteria for the speed eating training!"

The warriors below immediately turned into bitter faces.

Training in a harsh environment is not a big deal, but even eating requires training?

Although he had practiced the "Gluttony Method" and could eat food that contained some toxins, the process was bound to be very painful.

"God will take its course, no one will be spared."

"We just beat up Si Nong for a month, and now it's Si Nong's turn to torture us."

One of the short warriors' face changed. "Damn it, I'm only at the first level of the gluttony method. I won't be poisoned to death, right? Speaking of the tests at the Ministry of Agriculture, are all the food provided poisonous and difficult to digest? Isn't there anything normal?"

"Wu Zheng has explained it very clearly, but you still don't understand?"

"It's only one floor, you're done for, brother."

"Brother, don't do anything for the next half month. Hurry up and practice the gluttony method. If you have points, buy treasures to quickly upgrade. If you don't have points, borrow some from your brothers in the army. Otherwise... you will be in trouble."

People around looked at him with sympathy.

The short warrior said with a bitter face: "Now our Great Zhou is no longer the same as it was during the time of Taizu. The resources are gradually becoming more abundant, and the gluttony method is no longer a necessary method for the local army. Who would have thought... Hey, what level are you all?"

"I have two layers, but I can handle more than you can with two layers." The tall warrior said, "Two layers greatly improves the digestion and detoxification capabilities, and also improves the efficiency of absorbing the vitality in food."

"I'm at level four, which is considered top-notch in our reserve force. I entered the Xuanwu Martial Arts Division with this method," said another bald warrior with prominent cheekbones.

The others immediately looked at him with envy.

But the bald warrior smiled bitterly and said, "Don't envy me. Do you know how much I suffered in order to reach the fourth level?"

"The gluttony method is notoriously difficult to practice. In order to join the Tiger Dragon Army, I was determined to fight to the fourth level even if I had to die."

"I almost died at that time. When our general broke down the door and sent me to the doctor, my intestines were rotten, my teeth had fallen out, and blood was coming out of all my orifices..."

"It was because when I was using the supplementary food materials, I made a slight mistake in the dosage of a certain medicinal ingredient, which led to serious problems in my cultivation."

"Although there were no major problems later, and I was able to enter the fourth level by accident, my hair can no longer grow, and there are still a few scars on it. I don't think it will be able to recover unless I reach the sixth level."

The bald warrior couldn't help but sigh when he recalled the past.

"Chao, buddy, you are really ruthless. You have trained your intestines to pieces. I am convinced that you can join the Xuanwu Division." Others gave him a thumbs up in admiration.

"With the Xuanwu shield on your back and the gluttony method on your body, if you are not invincible, who is?"

"Damn it, I'll go back and practice now!" The short warrior gritted his teeth and ran away in a hurry.

Xi'er County, Shenwei Army Camp.

In the marching hall.

"Whoosh~" The flames rose and a letter came out of the fireplace.

A sturdy hand picked up the letter, and Long Xiao shouted inside: "Old Chen, there's a letter."

"Why don't you separate the letters and read them separately? What are you yelling about?" came Chen Shijie's voice.

"Wow!" Long Xiao opened the secret letter and immediately cried out in surprise, "Zhao Xing is making rapid progress. He has already built the Spiritual Bridge between Heaven and Earth and entered the eighth rank."

"Huh? He also practiced three sonic martial arts, and Kuiniu's Thunder Roar reached the seventh level?!"

"Eliminated Wu Si's genius Fu Ying once?! Good, good, well done!"

"Let me see." Chen Shijie heard Long Xiao's muttering and walked over. After taking the letter, he saw that it contained some content about Zhao Xing's training in April.

However, this letter was not written by Zhao Xing, but by a captain of the Shenwei Army stationed in Dongtian.

"Sonic martial arts, Kuiniu's Thunder Roar? He's already at the seventh level, where did this kid get so many points to practice it?" Chen Shijie said, "Even with Class A superior resources, he can't afford so many auxiliary materials."

Kuiniu's Thunder Roar and the Gluttonous Food Method both require precious materials to be practiced together, otherwise practicing blindly will cause big problems.

"He worships Lord Tian, ​​who is famous for his wealth." Long Xiao said, "You don't care about this?"

"That's right." Chen Shijie suddenly realized, "It seems that Lord Tian gave some help."

"You have to work hard." Long Xiao said with a smile, "This kid is more talented than you, don't let him surpass you when he is trained."

"He surpassed me, I am so happy." Chen Shijie said with a smile. "Another great general for the Marquis."

"Oh, Captain Huang said that Zhao Xing wants us to find out about a man called Mi Fu." Long Xiao said, "Who is Mi Fu? Do you know him?"

"Mi Fu?" Chen Shijie frowned and took another close look at the letter. "I don't know him. He didn't say where he was from or what his official position was. How can I find him?"

"Didn't he say that Mi Fu was good at Ninghua Fa? He found out about this person when he was buying the book of magic."

"That's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Let's keep an eye out for him."

Fuchun Garden. On the day Zhao Xing finished the first compulsory training, he came to Tian Yan’s Fuchun Garden.

"You performed well last month. Many people, whether in the Ministry of Agriculture or the Ministry of Military Affairs, praised you highly."

"I am also very satisfied with your performance. I didn't expect you to make such great progress in such a short period of time. With only five Hundred Beast Throat Pills and Earthly Demon Lung Training Pills, you have already trained Kuiniu's Thunder Roar to the seventh level."

Tian Yan smiled and praised Zhao Xing for a rare moment.

Although Tian Yan was kind and generous, he was also very strict with his disciples. Over the past month, Zhao Xing came from time to time to receive guidance.

It is rare to hear compliments from him, and his words now prove that Tian Yan is really satisfied.

[Unable to train] In one month, Zhao Xing had mastered the sonic martial arts to a high level. He also caught the attention of senior officials and was mentioned many times.

As a teacher, Tian Yan naturally felt proud.

"Teacher, you are too kind. In fact, I spent a lot of points and relied on external forces to practice Kuiniu Thunder Roar to the seventh level." Zhao Xing said modestly.

"I know." Tian Yan nodded. "You spent your points, but don't others spend theirs? The resources of the superiors are all about the same. I gave you a meeting gift, and other teachers will also give you one."

"But you chose Kuiniu Leihou to practice, which proves that you are not afraid of hardship and have a high level of understanding."

Zhao Xing listened quietly.

"A good performance is a good performance, and there is no need to be overly modest." Tian Hou said, "In the next [Supply Training], are you sure you can stay in the top 21?"

"I'm barely sure of it." Zhao Xing said.

He didn't know what would happen this time, and he didn't dare to guarantee it. The right time and right place were completely random. He hadn't mastered the solar terms yet, and the Ksitigarbha method was still lacking in plant cultivation.

Among the twenty-one Class A geniuses, he was the youngest, had no local experience, and did not have much time to learn the three secret books.

"Don't force yourself. I'll give you something worth 3 points." Tian Yan said with a smile.

"Teacher, this won't..." Zhao Xing was a little surprised. He didn't know whether Tian Yan's doing this was good or bad for him. Wouldn't people talk about it?

"Your situation is rather special." Tian Yan said, "I have discussed this with several senior officials from the Institute of Geology and Resources, and asked Fan Zhaoli to apply for it, and I have given you special approval."

"You were selected just after you were promoted from a clerk. Even with your weak foundation, you still made it through the fourth level."

"Ge Jinsong and Cheng Qingming from Tianshi Academy are blind, but I am not blind."

"Giving you another 3 points in funding is nothing."

When Zhao Xing heard this, he immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your cultivation, teacher."

Tian Yan said: "It is only because you have maintained the performance of a superior that I can give you this extra help. Otherwise, I would not be able to explain to my superiors."

"Remember, you must stay in the top 21 out of more than 10,000 reservists."

"You can't let your guard down. There are many people eyeing the top 21 spots, and they all want to squeeze you out."

"If you fall, not only will your salary be reduced, but it will also be difficult for me to take care of you privately in the future."

"Student understands." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Go ahead and prepare for the supply training."

"Yes, students are resigning."

June 7th, in the courtyard of eighteen locust trees and willows.

"Da da da~"

Gao Ming came galloping over on his bamboo horse.

"what!"

Gao Ming let out a cry, then walked away.

Zhao Xing heard the sound, opened the gate and walked out.

All I saw was the dust raised by the bamboo horse.

"This Gao Ming is getting lazier and lazier." Zhao Xing muttered.

At first, when Gao Ming delivered goods to your door, he would shout: "Zhao Xing, your goods have arrived. I've left them at your door!"

Gradually it becomes:

"The goods have arrived. They are at the door."

'The door.'

As of today, only 'ah' is left.

"He's not afraid of bad reviews. Oh, I forgot. There are no bad reviews."

Zhao Xing walked in carrying the box.

This was not bought by him, but by Tian Yan.

The treasure is worth 3 points and is used specifically for the purpose, mainly to help Zhao Xing make up for his shortcomings.

The first treasure that Tian Yan bought was a treasure related to the weather - [Gangfeng Stone]

The ore excavated from the Gangfeng Mountains in Shiyang Cave.

Zhao Xing's Yang Feng method has always been a weak point. Among the four Tianshi methods, he has only reached the third level of Xiaojiu Tiangang Feng.

"Yin wind and yang wind, Yin thunder and yang thunder, the mastery of the solar term order involves the intersection of the five elements, yin and yang. If I want to master the solar term order, I must be proficient in all four methods."

Tian Yan bought eight fourth-level Gangfeng stones, which were relatively cheap, costing only 8 points each.

"Except for clouds, there is no yin and yang distinction, and the same is true for rain."

"My icy rain, water drops turn into ice, and people's blood and qi freeze into frost, which can also be considered a yin rain method."

Rain nourishes all things, but Zhao Xing's icy rain is aimed at killing people. He now has too many attacking methods and too few auxiliary ones.

"But I am quite talented in the way of water. Last month, I learned an intermediate-level [Drizzle] method from the Rain Water Diagram. Although I have never had time to practice, I have reached the sixth level of the intermediate level after practicing casually."

"Combined with the second gift from the teacher, which is worth 1 points, it should help me make a breakthrough."

The second treasure sent by Tian Yan was also about the rain method, named "Spirit of Spring Rain". It was a fourth-grade top-grade product and was kept in a crystal box.

The third treasure is a fourth-grade, top-grade preaching painting, and also a plant version of [Ksitigarbha Return to the Origin]. It is worth 4,000 points.

With the three treasures, Zhao Xing's spell progress improved rapidly.

On June 8th, the [Ksitigarbha Return to the Origin·Plant] spell reached the seventh level.

The plant version and the human version of Dizang Guiyuan are similar in the use of earth veins.

Zhao Xing also had the initial foundation of [Earth Vein Comprehensive Element], and with the help of the preaching paintings, he could reach the seventh level once he understood it.

The eighth level is mainly about improving the breadth of spells. Basically, all spells of the same type can be mastered.

With the help of treasures, it is naturally easy to learn.

On June 9th, Zhao Xing used the 'Spirit of Spring Rain' and continuous drizzle fell from the top of his head. A sunny rain washed over Zhao Xing and lasted for twelve hours.

Zhao Xing felt the magic of Yangyu Method wholeheartedly.

The [Drizzle] method also broke through from the sixth level to the ninth level.

Starting from June 10th, Zhao Xing made a detailed plan for his own cultivation.

"Starting today, use the Gangfeng Stone to practice the "Small Nine Heavens Gangfeng" method for one hour every day."

"One hour of [Ksitigarbha's Return to the Origin]"

"Two hours of [Wasteland Condensation Technique]."

"In four hours, go to Tianshiyuan to comprehend the solar term monument."

"In the remaining two hours, you can practice other spells as well."

Ten hours are used for cultivation.

Of the remaining two hours, one hour is used to review and sort out the problems in the practice process. If one practices but the panel progress does not improve, Zhao Xing can easily sense that this practice direction is wrong.

Therefore, it is also important to review and summarize afterwards.

As for rest? With the help of the [Sleepyhead] spell, an hour would be enough.

Immersed in cultivation, time passes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

June 22nd, Mao time.

Boom!
The familiar drum beats sounded.

Zhao Xing woke up from his sleep.

The second compulsory training course began.

But this time, there is no need to rush, but to gather directly at Diliyuan.

Fifty Liuyun flying boats were parked in the square of Dili Courtyard.

The cabins of every flying boat seemed to be full of people.

Zhao Xing used the Five Elements to sense things and found that all the people here had strong blood and energy. They were obviously the warriors in each group.

"The fifty people in the Dili Academy will randomly select a flying boat. After being selected, they will go to the training location." Fan Zhaoli said, "Hurry up and get on the boat!"

Zhao Xing randomly jumped onto a flying boat numbered 1 and then entered the cabin.

"Ok?"

As soon as he entered, Zhao Xing saw ten warriors in the cabin.

There were a few familiar faces inside.

"Chen Fang, Hu Bing, Zhang Jie... huh?"

His gaze fell on the face of the last person. He had a handsome face, and his slightly raised eyebrows revealed confidence and calmness, with a deep look in his eyes.

Zhao Xing was very familiar with this man. He was Xia Jing, who had knocked him down many times during the last training session.

"Brother Xia, it's you." Zhao Xing grinned.

"Yes, it's me." Xia Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly after seeing Si Nong from his group.

　There is also a third update, one o'clock ago.
