Chapter 192 What? How much did he plant? (5K)

"This magic array should not use the Zhaoyang Earth Fire Array, but the Chongguang Earth Fire Array. The array base should not use 'Earth Copper Soil', but 'Bawang Golden Sand'."

"Time is tight, and your Divine Might Army's craftsmen are not very proficient in this, so they can be used, but it's best to replace them later."

"How can this fourth-order earth fire lotus be cultivated using the Strengthening Foundation Method? Don't you know that the Element Analysis Method is the best?"

"Qianwei set up the Yaoguang Guiyuan Formation, but the earth vein fire was not fully utilized... Who set up the foundation of the Guiyuan Formation here?"

Dong He pointed out the planting area around Dongsang Volcano, accompanied by Zhao Xing and Wang Ji.

Seeing Dong He asking questions, Wang Ji said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, it was done by me."

Dong He said calmly, "It's understandable that young people are careless. Fortunately, it's only the third or fourth level of cultivation. The fifth level array can't be messed around. It needs to be more meticulous."

Wang Ji opened his mouth, but in the end he just bowed and said yes.

As soon as Dong He came, he started to give advice on his work. The problem was that Dong He knew nothing about it, which made Wang Ji very frustrated.

"Master Zhao." Dong He looked at Zhao Xing again, "I heard that you know a high-level essence analysis technique?"

"Yes, it's called..." Zhao Xing was about to speak when Dong He turned his head away and pointed to a lotus area in front of him: "You can stand in the Kun position of the fourth-level Earth Fire Peiyuan Formation and cast a spell to assist me."

"I will ask the Black Armor Army to adjust the magic circle in a while. I will also arrange for Si Nong brought by the Black Armor Army to help you. As long as the survival rate in your area exceeds 30%, it will be very good..."

Looking at Dong He who was talking nonstop, Zhao Xing felt somewhat helpless.

Dong He seemed to be used to giving orders, and he completely regarded himself as his adjutant.

Moreover, this person is very decisive, which stems from his extreme confidence in his own knowledge.

After all, in the Xuanjia Army, Dong He is also the one who is respected by all the camps in the army.

In just one hour, Dong He had given all the instructions to the people Zhao Xing brought with him.

This guy is really something, and what he said is all right, but he just sounds too "daddy".

No wonder Xia Jing was a little troubled by him.

"Master Dong, should we discuss this further?" Zhao Xing said, "You just arrived in Dongsang City, and I see that everyone..."

Dong He waved his hand to interrupt Zhao Xing: "Master Zhao, there is no need to discuss it. This matter is urgent..."

"Zheng!"

There was a sudden sound of a mechanism at Wang Ji's waist.

A track behind him was rotating, and a row of crossbow holes appeared behind his shoulders. The mechanism was loaded, and a cold light flashed, aiming at Dong He.

Dong He's words were interrupted, and he, like everyone around him, looked at Wang Ji in surprise.

Wang Ji looked at Dong He and said loudly, "Master Dong, your eyes are sharp. Please look at this crossbow arrow. Is it useful?"

Dong He glanced at the pocket crossbow on Wang Ji's shoulder and nodded: "Not bad."

Wang Ji sneered and said, "The material used for this thing is exactly the fifth-level Qijin wood planted by Lord Zhao."

"Why don't you listen to Mr. Zhao's opinion?!"

Dong He was silent. He finally understood why Wang Ji suddenly exploded.

Looking at Wang Ji's eyes, Dong He had no doubt that if he dared to look down on Zhao Xing again, this young man would really shoot an arrow at him.

Zhao Xing was interrupted again and again by Dong He and was already very angry. At this moment, he just kept silent and pretended not to see Wang Ji's rude behavior.

Damn, I really can’t tell the difference between the big king and the small king!

Dong He was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Please continue what you were saying, Master Zhao."

Seeing this, Zhao Xing glanced at the side and said, "Wang Ji, the brothers of the Black Armor Army are here to help. You have lost your composure. Go find Han Bing to accept the punishment!"

Wang Ji went to Han Bing to get a punishment. But those who didn't know, after hearing what Zhao Xing said, thought Han Bing was a judicial officer.

This is purely Mr. Zhao's trick to give Dong He a way out.

"Yes." Wang Ji snorted and left.

"Master Dong." Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said calmly, "What you just said makes sense."

"However, it was my order to use the Zhaoyang Earth Fire Formation instead of the Chongguang Earth Fire Formation. It was also my order to use the Earth Copper Soil instead of the Overlord Gold Sand as the formation base."

"The things you mentioned are good, but the prices are twice as high. My Divine Might Army cannot afford such extravagance."

When it comes to professional issues, Dong He is argumentative again: "Without these aids, the success rate will drop, and this is another kind of waste."

Zhao Xing was too lazy to argue with Dong He.

Everyone has different training concepts.

Dong He was used to fighting prosperous wars. As a sixth-rank military minister of agriculture, he was equipped with the best in the Xuanjia Army.

But Zhao Xing was used to careful budgeting, so as long as the configuration just met the requirements, it would be fine.

Take the Earth Fire Lotus for example, there is not much difference between the robes made of the fifth-level lower quality and the fifth-level middle quality robes when crossing the Flaming Mountain.

The two of them are good at different types of magic.

Dong He is good at high-level foundation-strengthening methods, and he needs these auxiliary methods to strengthen his foundation, but Zhao Xing is good at the Yuan Analysis Method, which does not require such harsh conditions at all.

Zhao Xing directly stated his distribution plan: "Master Dong, you and I will each lead people to cultivate the Earth Fire Lotus."

"You need manpower and materials. The Shenwei Army has them and will do its best to supply them to you first."

Give me priority? Dong He looked at Zhao Xing in confusion.

Why did he feel that Zhao Xing's words had some other meaning?

It seems like his magic is more powerful?

"As for the results on my side, Lord Dong, you don't have to worry about it." Zhao Xing said.

"That's fine." Dong He nodded: "It will be more convenient to do things this way."

Flying back to Dongsang City from Huoyan Mountain, Chen Shijie asked, "I heard that you and Dong He don't get along very well?"

"It spread so fast?" Zhao Xing said. He just got back.

"Why do you want Wang Ji to ask Han Bing to accept the punishment? He doesn't care about this."

"Han Bing was confused and brought Wang Ji to see me." Chen Shijie said. "I knew what happened as soon as I asked."

"He looks down on people a bit." Zhao Xing said, "In order to make him listen to me quietly, Wang Ji directly loaded the fifth-level shoulder crossbow."

"Can I really make Wang Ji be punished? I was just saying it casually. By the way, where is he?"

"Wang Ji is a bit too serious. He actually went to the judicial officer and got beaten with 20 military sticks." Chen Shijie said, "Han Bing is applying medicine to his buttocks now."

"..." Zhao Xing was speechless. The engineer could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, and Wang Ji was even more stubborn.

"Ah, they are all stubborn guys."

"Why are you going?"

"Go find the military doctor to get his butt fixed up. I'm still waiting for him to start working."

The seeds of the Earth Fire Lotus were stolen on August 24th.

The volcano was activated on August 28.

On September 1st, the size of the Earth Fire Lotus had expanded to 150,000 plants.

Starting from September 1st, Zhao Xing and Dong He each teamed up with a group of farmers to start cultivating the fifth-level Earth Fire Lotus.

One person starts casting spells from the south of the volcano, and the other starts from the north of the volcano.

Zhao Xing did not break his promise. He handed over most of the elite troops of the Zhenhai Army, Shenwei Army and Xuanjia Army to Dong He for help.

Most of the precious materials prepared for planting were given priority to Dong He.

Others thought that Dong He was the one who was in charge of planting the Earth Fire Lotus.

Chen Shijie and Xia Jing even ran over to confirm and found that Zhao Xing was not angry, but just did not need as many auxiliary means as Dong He, so they left with peace of mind.

Dongsang Volcano, South.

Zhao Xing stepped on the clouds and arrived above a lava lake.

"It's Zhao Xing!" He Yu looked at Zhao Xing excitedly. "He's here."

"Boss, why are you so excited?" someone asked in confusion.

"Hey, it's a high-level method. How can you not be excited when someone uses a high-level method in front of you?" He Yu said.

"You may not know, but he and I have a special affinity. In the Yunyu Pass of the branch test, Zhao Xing and I were in the same group." He Yu said proudly.

"Why don't you tell me about the time you were tricked by Zhao Xing in front of the Wanli Leichi?" Ouyang Song said with a smile. "It's fate."

"..." He Yu glared at Ouyang Song. Why are you bringing up such things? You're almost dying of thirst in the Underworld Plains.

Zhao Xing glanced down and his voice spread with the wind.

"Everyone, please return to your positions and wait for my command to activate the Ksitigarbha Guiyuan Formation!"

Wang Ji immediately gave an order, and the people in the company started operating the mechanism right away.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The array bases that were suspended in the air five meters high fell down with a loud bang.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish~”

The 500 Si Nong under him were all of rank eight or above, with the highest being rank seven.

At present, many magic arrays have been set up in this lava lake. The largest one among them is the classic of the Dili School, the Ksitigarbha Guiyuan Array.

Wang Ji brought fifty people with him as the main control team of the mechanism magic array. The other five hundred Si Nong stood at various phases to provide vitality for the magic array and share the pressure with Zhao Xing.

In this place, there are tens of thousands of fourth-level earth fire lotuses.

Casting spells one by one is not only slow, but also wastes a lot of Zhao Xing's energy.

Therefore, a large-scale planting auxiliary array is a must.

The current magic circle is still just child's play and not very large in scale.

At that time, Caoxi built the Guiyuan waterwheel in Gucheng and repaired the Thirteen Channels of Pinghuai. The Thirteen Channels were the foundation of the magic circle.

It covered the entire Gucheng and even cultivated a sacred mountain in the East Lake.

That range was much larger than it is now.

"One group is in place!"

"Group two, get in place!" "Group three, get in place!"

……

"Ten groups, get in position!"

The sound of reports came from everywhere. Ouyang Song and He Yu were the team leaders of the Sinong Group.

At this moment, his heart was pounding and he was shouting at the top of his lungs.

They are only of the eighth rank, but they can participate in the implementation of large-scale high-level magic. How honored is that?

Of course, whether it will succeed or not still depends on Zhao Xing!

When everyone was in place, Ouyang Song, He Yu, Han Bing, Wang Ji... hundreds of people all looked at Zhao Xing in the sky with fiery eyes.

"start!"

Zhao Xing gave an order.

The Dizang Guiyuan Formation was the first to be activated, and the vital energy of the five hundred Si Nongs was injected into the ground.

Zhao Xing felt that the fourth-level Earth Fire Lotus Pond was filled with infinite vitality at this moment!

In terms of geographical conditions, we can't do any better!

Zhao Xing pointed to the sky, and a solar term order flew out from his dantian and soared into the sky.

There was a sudden change between heaven and earth.

It was as if a scorching sun rose from Zhao Xing's body, and the surroundings suddenly became dull and hot.

It’s the beginning of summer!

"Om~"

The solar term ordered Gao Fei to directly break through the gale layer and hover at an altitude of two thousand meters.

The solar term order of the fourth level of Zhijing can break through the four thousand meter strong wind layer, but in order to maximize the power.

It's almost enough to stop at two thousand meters.

"Om~"

The second and third solar term orders appeared immediately afterwards.

They flew to 800 meters and then stopped.

It is the two solar terms of [Lesser Heat] and [Greater Heat].

The Earth Fire Lotus likes extreme heat, but it is not pure heat, but rather humid and stuffy heat.

So Zhao Xing stood up again.

It quickly covered the south of the volcano.

"Drip, drip~"

A light rain fell and landed in the lava lake.

Soon, the weather conditions reached their maximum.

There was a spaceship standing on the south side of the cloud, and Chen Shijie was watching Zhao Xing cast a spell.

He did not participate in the fourth-level planting because the Nine-Section Camp he led would cultivate the fifth-level Earth Fire Lotus seeds next.

"I never thought that the young man I brought out from Gucheng back then has become so powerful now." Chen Shijie looked at this scene and remembered the first time he met Zhao Xing during the Xiaoshu assessment.

At that time, Zhao Xing was faced with a small test of the "grain-eating bird disaster", and the only method he knew was to use straw men to drive them away.

He even had to compete with other officials for a pile of dry grass.

How many years have passed now?
You can then change the world in this desolate southern land and lead the cultivation of the fifth-order Earth Fire Lotus.

"The beginning of summer adds to the lesser heat, which then merges into the greater heat."

"The fusion of the solar terms allows the power of the three hot seasons to be fully exerted."

Chen Shijie was filled with emotion.

Xia Jing and Guan Junyang were also on this boat. Instead of running over to watch Dong He farming, he came to cheer for Zhao Xing.

"Amazing." Guan Junyang exclaimed, "His Tianshi Fa is so different from Shiyang Dongtian Shi. I'm afraid even Shi Yong can't compare to him."

Shi Yong was the number one talent in Tianshi Academy back then, but now Guan Junyang feels that Zhao Xing is capable of surpassing Shi Yong.

The magic of the ego school does not actually require such good time and location conditions.

But the Earth Fire Lotus is quite special.

It may be delicate, but it grows in magma.

But can you say it is durable? If the surrounding conditions are slightly worse, it will die.

In addition, this time the spell will be cast on a large scale, so Zhao Xing must serve the Earth Fire Lotus well.

"Moment of Primordial Moment!"

Zhao Xing waved his hand, and bits of starlight appeared and fell into the lotus pond.

All the five hundred Si Nong who had learned the [Five Elements Observation] method of identification stared at this scene with wide eyes.

Because in their microscopic vision, there was a meteor shower in the sky.

Countless meteors smashed towards the lotus pond area.

But most people can only see the external manifestations at best. After the meteor enters the Earth Fire Lotus, it is difficult for them to detect it.

Only a few seventh-rank Si Nong who had practiced the Yin-Yang Original Self Sutra and sixth-rank Si Nong like Chen Shijie were able to observe it.

"The law of the self is extremely mysterious." Chen Shijie looked at it for a while and then gave up because he couldn't see what it was all about.

Even if you use several fifth-level preaching paintings, you may not be able to learn the high-level spells of the Self School.

As everyone knows, the entry threshold to the Benwo Sect is the fifth level.

In other words, the mainstream idea is that one must cultivate to the fifth level before studying the magic of the ego school to achieve something meaningful.

Among the millions of seventh-grade Si Nong in the five major caves, there are only thirty to fifty people who can cast high-level spells of their own faction.

Even if the sixth-rank minister of agriculture is included, the number would not exceed two hundred.

Under the gaze of Chen Shijie and Guan Junyang, the mature Earth Fire Lotus in the fourth-level lotus pond suddenly began to grow again for some unknown reason.

Experts know the ins and outs of things, but now these experts cannot see the ins and outs of our ego school.

All we know is that in this lotus pond, there are many fourth-order Earth Fire Lotuses that have begun to break through the shackles of growth, grow again, and transform into the fifth order.

After the first stick of incense had passed, fifty fifth-order earth fire lotuses appeared and produced fifth-order lotus seeds.

But at this time, Zhao Xing felt that his vitality was declining.

There are many lotus flowers withering in the lotus pond because there are too many of them and not enough Earth Fire Lotuses can survive at the same time.

"rise!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Ji immediately organized the company's mechanical engineers to control the second array base to float up.

Thousands of black cylinders emerged from the ground. These were the foundations of the town they had just placed.

Wang Jiqi used two types of guiding formations: Earth Fire and Earth Element.

Its principle is similar to the water pump used by ordinary people to pump water from wells in their homes, except that this magic array guides the vital energy of the earth's veins.

Following Wang Ji's operation, Zhao Xing felt the vitality pouring into his body. The number of withered fourth-order Earth Fire Lotuses below decreased, while the number of fifth-order ones increased.

After a short rest, Zhao Xing cast the spell again.

so repeatedly.

After the fourth stick of incense, the number of fifth-order earth fire lotuses had exceeded five hundred!
The fiery red lotus blossomed, and the lotus pod in the center was like a ball of flame. In the flame, there were some darker crystal red lights flickering.

That is the lotus seed of the fifth-order Earth Fire Lotus.

"It's done!" Guan Junyang clenched his fists excitedly, "The fifth-level earth fire lotus, its lotus leaves can be used to make fire-proof robes."

"These lotus seeds are also enough to grow to the fifth level. If we give them to others to replant, the fifth-level earth fire lotus will soon grow exponentially."

"It's not that simple." Chen Shijie said, "The normal replanting times will reduce the rank after three times. The Earth Fire Lotus is more demanding and needs to be cultivated with great care. It will be downgraded after two replantings."

The descendants of plant life are always weakening towards a lower level. In ancient times, towering trees could be seen everywhere, but nowadays they are rarely seen.

"Even so, it won't be long before we can equip the entire army with fifth-level fire-proof robes." Xia Jing rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Master Chen, there is no problem with Zhao Xing. I will go see Dong He."

"Please do as you wish, Prince." Chen Shijie nodded.

Xia Jing excitedly drove the flying boat to the north of the volcano. At this time, Dong He was also casting a spell.

However, he used the strong base method, which was completely different from Zhao Xing's.

Dong He was wearing a fifth-grade top-grade fire-proof robe, and he was floating in the lava river.

At this time, many earth fire lotuses were floating around Dong He. As Dong He cast a spell, the lotus pond in the lake began to rotate.

While the lotus was revolving around the Dong River, a series of rotating whirlpools formed beneath it.

Countless vital energies gathered in the fourth-level lotus. As Dong He breathed, the entire lotus pond seemed to be breathing as well.

Xia Jing pressed the flying boat and quietly asked Dong He's adjutant Jin Ming, "Master Jin, how many plants are there?"

Adjutant Jin Ming was also a seventh-rank Si Nong. When he saw Xia Jing asking questions, he said proudly, "My Lord, Master Dong has cultivated one hundred fifth-rank earth fire lotuses!"

Xia Jing nodded and smiled. This speed was not considered slow.

Seeing that Xia Jingguang didn't praise his boss, Jin Ming immediately asked, "I wonder how the prince's good brother is doing now?"

"I'm not being nosy. We didn't come to the Shenwei Army to help the poor. If they can't keep up with the progress, it will delay our Xuanjia Army."

"Your Highness should rely more on our own talents."

The implication is that Xia Jing placed too much emphasis on the outsider Zhao Xing in this cooperation, and should rely more on their own Sinong Camp.

Xia Jing showed his big white teeth and held out his palm: "My brother didn't plant many, only 500."

"Not bad." Jin Ming nodded, then turned back in surprise: "What? How much did you say he planted?"
