Chapter 183: The Origin of the Moment, Blood Element Fruit and Heartworm Grass! (6K)

King Lingde had his reasons for asking this question.

There are mainly two types of tasks assigned to military servants by the military. One is the basic task, also known as the job task.

The second is general tasks, also known as advanced tasks.

There is an upper limit for basic tasks, calculated in months.

It is already quite difficult to complete basic tasks.

Because it is divided into two levels.

The first level is the main job.

It is necessary to provide the army with the food and energy needed for the month.

The court gave officials eighth and ninth rank treatment and monthly salaries, which meant they had to do so much work.

If you do it well, it is your job. If you don't do it well, you will be fined and demoted.

This is the first level, which is the main job, and there is basically not much military merit to speak of. Of course, if the front line wins a victory, you can also get some military merit brought by the team.

Do you think it’s difficult? If you don’t do it, there are plenty of people who will do it!
Taking a seventh-rank official as an example, among the basic tasks, if he completes the first level and settles on a monthly basis, the maximum military merit he can get is 10,000.

Because it only requires you to meet the basic food and drink needs of the army.

If you can't even do this, then what's the point of being a military minister?

Go back to the grassroots level in the rear and hone your skills.

The second level of the basic mission, in addition to satisfying the army's "food", also needs to meet the following conditions:

Provide medicinal materials for doctors; provide materials for making equipment for the engineering department, materials for weaving robes for the weaving department, and materials for incense for priests.

The requirements are relatively comprehensive, and the basic share is doubled.

For example, the third-level supplies needed by the Shenwei Army that month were 100,000 stones, which belonged to the first basic level. The second level was 200,000 stones.

This type of job mission also has an upper limit, which is three to five times, and no additional military merit will be awarded.

Normally, a seventh-rank Si Nong can only barely meet the needs of the above departments.

It is already difficult to complete the basic tasks.

Because the imperial court was not doing charity, salaries and benefits could be raised a little, but rewards for military merit would be given land and titles. If rewards for military merit were given too freely, it would be detrimental to the country.

In addition, given Emperor Jingdi's style, the standards for obtaining military merits were very high.

In addition, the battlefield changes rapidly and no one knows whether any accidents will occur.

We also need to consider issues such as enemy sneak attacks, weather, and terrain.

Zhao Xing stored part of the spoils in the inner treasury for future use, in order to ensure that the basic tasks of the entire City No. 92 could be completed.

Therefore, if you can complete the basic combat merit tasks, you are already the best among the farmers!
Advanced tasks are even more difficult.

The basic task is to supply military supplies for "this battalion", which is not considered a "difficult problem".

Because what the army would eat and where to fight had actually been planned several years in advance, and all the seeds and seedlings were available.

The advanced tasks involve the military supplies of the entire Pingman Legion.

Naturally, more rewards will be given for military merits.

Because the advanced tasks are meant to allow outstanding talents to stand out.

Under such a difficult situation, Zhao Xing submitted an advanced task in two hours and obtained 10,000 military merits in four hours.

This speed naturally surprised King Lingde.

For an ordinary seventh-grade warrior like Chen Lu, he has only accumulated more than 30,000 points of military merit since the start of the Pingman War.

Class A geniuses like Wang Ji and Han Bing worked hard for more than 20 days and only earned 50,000 to 60,000 military merits.

King Lingde felt that this speed was too exaggerated.

Even the Minister of Agriculture below the sixth rank may not be so efficient!
"That kid spent the longest time in the original dojo. Could it be that he has made a breakthrough in the spell of the Self Sect?" King Tianyan guessed, "The high-level spells of the Self Sect are extremely rare among the seventh-grade spells."

The laws of timing and location, and high-level spells cultivated at the seventh level, are nothing in the eyes of the three kings.

People like Guan Junyang and Cao Shuang both reached the fourth level of knowledge and realized high-level techniques a year ago.

But up to now, none of the geniuses in Shiyang Cave Heaven has comprehended the advanced method.

"Looking at the five great caves, among the nearly 200,000 seventh-grade Si-nong, there are no more than 50 who have mastered the advanced methods of the Ben-wo Sect, and most of them are old and have mastered them after long-term research." King Ling De said, "If this is true, then Zhao Xing, this kid, really has a bright future."

The magic of the ego school is too difficult to practice, and the fifth level is considered the threshold for entry.

"We don't have to guess here." King Luohou said, "Call Lupin to come and ask him and we will know."

Lupin is one of the chief judges of Taichuyuan, so he must know about this.

King Rāhu took out the ground mirror and threw it into the sky.

"Buzz~" The ground mirror rotated several times, emitting a light blue light and projecting a three-dimensional image, which was Lupin.

"Greetings to King Luohou, King Lingde, and King Tianyan." Lu Bang saluted the three kings.

"Lord Lu, there is no need to be so polite." King Lingde said.

Lupin is a fifth-rank official with real power and position, and he is still relatively young, making him a promising junior.

"I wonder what King Luohou wants to talk to me about?" Lu Bang asked in confusion. He knew that these three kings were detached from the world, and the fifteen supervisors of this barbarian training were all at the level of kings.

"Lubang," King Luohou asked, "Do you know about Zhao Xing's situation in the original dojo? Has he comprehended the advanced methods of the Self School?"

Asking Zhao Xing? Lu Bang was stunned.

"Yes."

Lupin nodded.

"The reason why he went to the battlefield twenty days late was because of his enlightenment in the original dojo."

"However, I can only confirm that he has mastered a high-level spell. I don't know what specific spell it is."

"I see, it's all right now." King Luohou nodded, "You can go down."

"Yes." Lupin saluted again and cut off the communication.

King Tianyan smiled and said, "Luo Hou, I think you can give me the seventh-level magic weapon in advance."

King Lingde also laughed, he was just a spectator and did not participate in the gambling.

However, Zhao Xing's own faction has high-level spells. Unless there is any accidental demise, he will definitely be among the first batch of second-class marquises with this high-level spell.

"Tian Yan, it's too early to say now." King Luo Hou snorted, "Zhao Xing alone is not enough, Xia Jing must also be in the first batch."

"Besides, the Divine Might Army will soon reach the Fire Demon Tribe's territory. The environment there is harsh, and the logistics troops must also move forward. Zhao Xing may not be able to maintain such a fast speed of increasing his power."

“Hahaha, Luohou.” King Tianyan knew that he was a person who would not admit defeat. “What you said makes sense, but don’t learn from Cheng Qingming and Ge Jinsong from Shiyang Cave Heaven. At the time, their analysis was also very reasonable.”

King Luohou: “…”

In Taicangyuan, Lu Pin, Zuo Zizhi, Tian Yan and Liu Tianning were chatting.

Lupin's sudden departure just now also made the three of them very confused.

"Brother Lu, why did King Luohou look for you?" Zuo Zizhi asked, "Why is he still friends with him?"

"King Luohou has always been unkind and famously cold." Tian Yan said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you, Brother Lu, had such a relationship."

Liu Tianning drank silently, looking into the distance, as if he didn't hear what the three people were saying.

Lu Bang shook his head: "I have a ghost relationship with King Luohou. I haven't seen him for more than ten years. This time he suddenly came to me and scared me."

"I was afraid that I might have made some mistakes and this person would know about it."

"Hahaha, you must be guilty of something." Zuo Zizhi laughed.

Lupin sat down and took the wine pot from Liu Tianning: "I have done nothing wrong except drinking while working. King Luohou would not care about such a small matter."

"He called me this time because of Zhao Xing."

"Hmm?" Tian Yan's expression changed slightly. "What happened to him? He actually attracted the attention of King Luohou."

Liu Tianning also withdrew his gaze at this time and looked at Lupin.

"I don't know." Lu Bang said, "King Luohou just asked whether Zhao Xing had comprehended the advanced law. I don't think he made any mistakes to attract attention. I don't know the specific reason."

"He's improving too fast." Liu Tianning suddenly said, "Look at the Earth Mirror. Zhao Xing's ranking in the seventh rank is already 4,321."

"If I were King Rahu, I would also pay attention to such abnormal situations."

"But you don't need to worry. Zhao Xing's military exploits can withstand scrutiny."

Tian Yan was immediately relieved, but when he looked at Liu Tianning, he was a little surprised. This guy's brain was working too fast.

Besides, why are you so concerned about Zhao Xing?
That's my student!

City No. 92, public land.

"The transport spacecraft is ready to depart to deliver supplies to the front line. Liao Rulong has already led his troops from Machang City and is advancing in a southeasterly direction."

"This time, City 92 cleared out 70% of its June supply inventory, leaving only 30% for backup."

Han Bing stood on the ridge of the field and reported to Zhao Xing.

"Southeast?"

Zhao Xing was squatting in front of a pile of grass seedlings. Listening to Han Bing's words, he immediately opened the map.

"The Wolf God Tribe retreats, and Machang City moves southeast. After breaking through two more lines of defense, they will have to face the territory of the 'Fire Demon Tribe' under the Golden Feather King's Court."

"Liao Rulong may not fight the Fire Demon Clan, right?" Han Bing asked.

"It's hard to say." Zhao Xing shook his head. "Let's put this question aside for now. Where does Liao Rulong want the transport boat to meet up?"

"Naoyukijo."

"Oh." Zhao Xing had no impression of this name, which meant that the danger level was not high. "With Long Xiao on board, there won't be any problems on the way there. When they come back, let them go through the gale layer the whole way."

Aliens generally don't rob in the Gangfeng layer, as that is too demanding. It's not easy to fight in the Gangfeng layer unless you are at the sixth level of Tiangang realm.

Going back through the Gangfeng layer will just cost more core materials to drive the magic array.

But now Liao Rulong's troops have advanced 6,000 miles into the southern wilderness, and Zhiyou City has deviated from its original safe route.

Safety first, Zhao Xing still ordered the transport team to fly towards the Gangfeng layer.

Han Bing nodded and continued to report: "According to your request, the Agricultural Supervisor adjusted the planting direction of crops, mainly planting the 'Exotic Mint' of the Thorn Family, the 'Heavenly Heart Grass' of the Herbaceous Class, and the 'Blood Yuan Fruit' Tree of the Woody Class."

"There are a total of 149 crops in these three categories, all of which are level three and level four."

"The original inventory contained these seeds and seedlings. It is easy to scale up the third level, but it is a bit difficult to scale up the fourth level. It mainly depends on the seventh level of the Sino-Agricultural Supervisor."

Zhao Xing said: "Activate the Hou Tu Gui Yuan Formation and let the Ninth Rank Minister of Agriculture participate as well."

Han Bing was a little embarrassed: "What you said is not currently included in the list of military tasks. We had the spare capacity to grow other things before, but now you have drastically changed direction and started growing something else, and you have to activate the Hou Tu Gui Yuan Formation, which will greatly affect the speed at which others can gain military merit."

To be honest, if it wasn’t for Zhao Xing, Han Bing would have slapped him.

Because this is pure blind command.

"Are you worried that I might get scolded?"

Han Bing said: "It's not a possibility, it's a certainty."

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Let them curse a few times, but we must get the job done. This is the army, not the Chamber of Commerce."

Han Bing thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let them scold me. I just said it was my suggestion."

Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "There is no need for that. We will have to expand the city in the future. I will definitely follow the main force and move forward. You may have to stay in City No. 92."

"Besides, if you scold me now, you might be grateful to me in the future."

"Okay, I'll do it then."

As soon as Han Bing flew away on the clouds, the priest Song Fang flew over.

"Master Zhao."

Song Fang was of the seventh rank and was the priest of the main temple of City No. 92. He was already sixty years old and a veteran in the army. However, in front of Zhao Xing, Song Fang did not dare to put on airs and performed the ceremony respectfully.

"Sir Song." Zhao Xing returned the greeting. "In recent days, you have been fully cooperating with the work of the Sinong Supervisor. All priests who can pray to the Sinong God will be transferred to the Sinong Supervisor to work." "The rest will be sent to summon souls and help Wang Ji's engineering department to repair and expand the outer city."

The priest is in the supply city and also does logistical work.

Of course, if people or ghosts come to attack, the priests are also responsible for defense and guarding the city.

Another advantage of the priest is that even if he lies down and does nothing, as long as the city is not breached, he will be credited with guarding the city.

Being a priest is not something that ordinary people can do, but those who can do it are paid very well.

The city was not taken today, and with a ding, eight hundred military merits were credited to my account.

Song Fang cupped his hands and asked, "Sir, are you going to recall the ghost guards who patrol outside the city day and night?"

Zhao Xing nodded: "Yes."

"This way, even if the enemy arrives, they won't be noticed."

Zhao Xing said calmly: "I am here, so just do as you are told."

"Yes." Song Fang said quickly.

He didn't know Zhao Xing before and had never heard of him.

But as soon as Zhao Xing took office, he was very stylish.

The effect brought by that Dark Flame warship was so shocking.

Anyone who can grab such spoils is no ordinary lord, and he will probably be promoted to the sixth level very quickly in the future.

Zhao Xing now has great military achievements and strong strength. In addition, both Wang Ji and Han Bing, the two chief officers, respect him. Wang Ji praises Zhao Xing to everyone he meets.

Therefore, although Song Fang had never seen or heard of Zhao Xing's abilities, he did not dare to oppose any of Zhao Xing's opinions.

Not to mention the chief officer of the military department, Gao Li.

This man used to be a subordinate of Long Xiao. Long Xiao treated Zhao Xing as a brother, so how could Gao Li dare to be dissatisfied with Zhao Xing?

There is also a strategist named Yang Da in the city, but in the logistics supply city, Yang Da has no say at all, because there are only five ritual cultivators in City No. 92.

Strategists can only be effective when there is a war, but they are of no use at all in routine logistical work.

How can they earn military merit? They can only earn some merit for defending the city, which is a few dozen points a day. Of course, they don't have much work to do.

"I am only the commander of a city now, and I am in charge of no more than 5,000 people, so there is not much to do..."

"When you are in charge of a million-strong army in the future, you will have to consider a lot more."

"I must master my Straw Man as soon as I have time." Zhao Xing said secretly.

When he arrived, all departments were very cooperative, but things may not be so smooth in the future.

And there is only space for one city, but not three or ten cities.

That's when the ego straw man will come in handy.

"However, the I-Self Straw Man is a high-level spell, which involves the principles of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and the integration of the Five Elements of the Straw Man. Mastering it is probably more difficult than comprehending the Origin of the Moment." Zhao Xing looked down at the grass.

Moment of Origin is a high-level spell realized in the Original Dojo.

It is a high-level "Element Analysis Technique" that can break the shackles of life's growth.

It was precisely because of this spell that he was able to submit an advanced task so quickly.

Zhao Xing is now planting the fourth-level plant [Heartworm Grass] in the field on the left, which is the main ingredient of the "Heart Protection Pill".

On the right side is a bush called the [Blood Essence Tree], which can produce the fourth-level [Blood Essence Fruit], which can quickly replace the blood of a warrior.

"The reason why Heartworm Grass and Blood Essence Fruit appeared in the advanced tasks of the military world."

"I'm afraid it's because the Pingman Legion has encountered more insect witches and blood witches."

Zhao Xing squatted down and looked at the seedlings and young trees.

"However, with the background of the Great Zhou, once this kind of task is issued, I am afraid that countless agricultural geniuses will come to plant these two treasures."

"Under saturated cultivation, the tasks related to these two plants will probably be reduced in price or cancelled soon."

"Hurry up and gain more military merits."

Zhao Xing began to cast spells on the grassland.

Advanced tasks are time-limited, and once you miss them, you will never get them again.

It may take a month, or even shorter, and the merits given by the two advanced tasks will be reduced, or even the task may be completely cancelled.

"call out!"

Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and pointed, and the golden light of magic fell on the heartworm grass.

"Heartworm grass is a fourth-grade medicinal material, but it is very difficult to grow it to a fourth-grade mid-grade one."

"Even if a general Si Nong is trained, he is only a low-grade fourth-grade one."

"The advanced tasks released by the military world this time all require fourth-grade upper-quality and fourth-grade best-quality heartworm grass."

"The same is true for Blood Essence Fruit. A tree may produce fifty or sixty Blood Essence Fruits, but perhaps not even one of them can reach the fourth-grade mid-quality level."

Zhao Xing viewed things from the perspective of the five elements and stared at the heartworm grass.

From a microscopic perspective, the heartworm grass is growing rapidly. After two hours, it has entered the mature stage and can be harvested.

"I have changed the weather of this piece of land, and cultivated it with Ksitigarbha Returning to the Origin, Savage Growth, Nine Dragons Folding, and Wasteland Condensation."

“But in this grassland, there is still only one percent of the heartworm grass that has reached the fourth-level middle quality.”

"The shackles of life are so unbreakable that one must cultivate in a blessed land, but in this case, the cost will be much higher."

If the military cultivates these things on a large scale in the paradise in the rear, firstly, the cost of cultivation will increase, secondly, the cost of transportation will increase, and thirdly, the meaning of training troops will be lost.

As the time for harvest was approaching, Zhao Xing could only cast high-level spells.

In the microscopic world inside the Cordyceps sinensis, there is a lot of misty gray air.

The gray air twisted into a chain, as if locking the life structure of the Cordyceps sinensis.

If Zhao Xing had not cultivated the Yin-Yang Self Sutra to the second level, he would not have discovered it.

"Moment of Primordial Moment!"

Specks of golden light emerged from the fingertips and then fell on the heartworm grass.

"call out!"

The starlight that appeared to be tiny dots from the outside entered the heartworm grass, but it was like a comet, dragging a long golden tail flame, and crashed into the inner world of the heartworm grass!
"boom!"

A golden comet smashed one of the grey chains.

Every time it broke a chain formed by gray gas, the golden light would disappear.

But gray gas immediately filled the gap and formed new chains.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Golden comets keep crashing.

It seemed as if a decisive battle had taken place in the microscopic world.

After hundreds of millions of gray gas chains were broken.

finally--

"Om~"

A tremendous amount of energy burst out from within the Heartworm Grass and thrived in the gaps in the gray chains.

It absorbs nutrients again and enters the growth stage again!
And this time the momentum is even more violent, as unstoppable as when the world was first created.

"Whoo~"

Zhao Xing finished his investigation of the Five Elements Observation and looked at the Heartworm Grass with his naked eyes again.

At this time, large areas of heartworm grass jumped from the fourth-grade lower grade to the fourth-grade middle grade!

"50% are fourth-grade middle-grade, 30% are fourth-grade upper-grade, and 10% are fourth-grade ultimate."

"Less than 10% of them are still at the lower level of the fourth rank."

Zhao Xing smiled with satisfaction.

The moment of primordial origin makes the mature plants return to the 'growth stage' in an instant.

Secondary absorption of nutrients!

This is the effect of the analysis technique.

Of course, the effect of intermediate level elemental analysis technique is not so strong.

Because heartworm grass is not lacking in nutrients.

Under Zhao Xing's spell, the land has more than enough nutrients.

It is the upper limit of life growth and it is difficult to reach the fourth level.

When it grows to the fourth-grade lower grade, the Heartworm Grass can no longer absorb nutrients, and thus touches the shackles of the growth of all living things in the world.

The moment of origin breaks this shackle in a very short moment, allowing the heartworm grass to continue to grow.

"Elemental Analysis is one of the most profound spells in the Self School."

"Unfortunately, it can only work on plants at the moment."

"If it could work on people... I wonder where Mi Fu is now."

Zhao Xing had always been thinking about Mi Fu, the genius of the ego school.

By accident, he created the "Xuan Huang Xi Yuan Shu", which has average effect on plants but is extremely effective on humans.

It can even help people condense 'pure soil' in advance.

"We sent people to look around, but we couldn't find Mi Fu."

"If Mi Fu was in Pinghai Prefecture, I would have found him long ago."

"Unless he is not a fifth-grade cultivator now, or unless he is a fifth-grade cultivator but has gone to some secret cave world." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Some of the cave worlds in the Great Zhou are relatively secretive and will not be made public. They are classified as confidential.

The effect of the cave is that everything inside is confidential, even the people who enter will be turned into confidential files.

This kind of thing, generally only the fifth grade can enter.

But it is impossible for the Fifth Rank to use the Forget Worry Method to make them forget some things, so they can only strengthen confidentiality.

"Forget it. I could at least get a fifth-rank rank during the reign of Emperor Jing. Mi Fu will definitely appear during the reign of Emperor Liangzhi. It won't be too late for me to look for him then."

Zhao Xing used wind magic to harvest the heartworm grass, and then planted another batch.

Then he ran to the side of the Blood Yuan Tree.

At this time, the blood essence tree has just entered its maturity period and produced bright red "blood essence fruits".

He cast 'Moment of Origin' again.

This caused the blood essence fruits to grow again.

"The number of fourth-grade mid-quality blood essence fruits is not as large as that of heart insect grass."

"There are still differences between herbaceous plants and woody plants. Their internal world is more complex and mysterious."

"Even at the moment of origin, it is even more difficult to shake the shackles in the dark." Zhao Xing said secretly.

"However, my magic has also improved. Now it is only at the high-level second level."

“If you can reach the effectiveness of the high-level fourth-turn momentary origin, you can move to the next level.”

"Go submit the mission and see how many military merits you have."

After harvesting the finished product, Zhao Xing rode on a cloud and headed towards the temple.

　There is also the second chapter of 6K, which will be released later. I am not sure how late it will be, so as to prevent other brothers from waiting at that time. Let’s all read it tomorrow.
