Chapter 20: Night Vision with Bright Eyes, Observing Things with the Five Elements

The light flickered as Zhao Xing stared at the flickering book, his vision gradually becoming brighter.

I originally thought it was just a normal fluctuation, but the feeling of brightness became stronger and stronger, until one moment, it was completely like daylight.

"Huh?" Zhao Xing raised his head, put down the book, and glanced around.

He found that it was not yet dawn outside, but still late at night. The almanac also showed it was midnight, and there was no unusual movement.

Looking at the panel records again, I suddenly understood.

[You read the "Compendium of Materia Medica" at night, and the vitality enters your eyes, and you comprehend the spell "Clear Eyes Night Vision". ]

[Night Vision: Primary Spell]

[Proficiency: 20/9999]

[Effect: Can see at night, and can see thousands of meters away. ]

"It's a universal spell, but I actually got it."

Zhao Xing smiled slightly. He didn't expect that he would gain something after just a short while, and it was a very practical skill.

"But my Ju Yuan is not far from the third level, and it's time to obtain this spell."

Night Vision is an adaptive spell that can be used passively or actively. It can adapt to changes in the surrounding environment.

Basically, everyone in the ninth level has this standard configuration, and even those who are not in the ninth level have a certain chance of obtaining it. Among them, the warrior profession is the easiest to obtain, and the first level of Ju Yuan is enough, because their vitality is mainly used to improve their own physical fitness. The Si Nong profession will be a little later.

"It's very practical, and can be advanced to 'observing details' later. Not only can it observe more subtle movements and fluctuations of vital energy, it can even grasp the psychological activities of the characters. However, it is only effective for those whose realm is lower than yours." Zhao Xing said secretly.

If you are in the same realm, or a higher realm, your own vital energy is integrated and can be locked up without leaking out, making it difficult to detect, and psychological activities are even more difficult to capture.

"Even stronger is the Sikou profession's Mingjing Wenxin, and the interrogation of prisoners is even more unique."

With the clear night vision, Zhao Xing found it much easier to read.

Continue to study Bencao Jing, Daguanmu and Baicao Gang.

The ultimate goal of the agricultural profession is to cultivate crops. These three books introduce and classify the plants in the world.

According to the effects, it can be divided into medicinal, edible and livestock categories.

It is also divided into "family", "class", "system", "phylum" and "species".

For example, Zhao Xing now saw a page of the Materia Medica, which mentioned a magical plant called "Selaginella", also known as the soul-returning grass, which can treat damage to the soul and is classified in the herb class.

Turning the page, Zhao Xing saw another familiar name.

"In the mushroom section, it is said that in a strange mountain in Mingdao Prefecture, there grows a plant called 'color-changing mushroom'. It can change color and blend into the environment. It will explode when touched, and when it explodes, it produces poisonous gas that can blind, poison, or make people faint. In severe cases, it can kill people."

Color-changing mushrooms, Zhao Xing had planted a lot of them in his previous life. They grow fast, are easy to survive, are not expensive, and have good effects. It is a must-plant for Si Nong players to sneak into people.

In terms of species classification, there are native species (originally existing in the world) and derived species (artificially created).

There are also classifications based on the attributes of the five elements, wind and thunder, such as the 'Purple Lightning Bamboo' that Zhao Xing had planted in his previous life.

The bamboo joints belong to thunder in the five elements and can emit purple lightning attacks, making it a plant with stronger attack power in the bamboo system.

The disadvantage of Sinong players in the early stage is that they can only fight positional battles and defensive battles, and they need to deploy in advance because plants cannot move.

But after gathering Yuan to the 50th level, this worry will no longer exist.

Because you can do 'Dantian breeding' and open up a small piece of pure soil, which is equivalent to a mobile reserve base.

When you encounter an enemy, you can project the real world into a pure element, causing plants to appear at a certain location and take root in the real world. You can basically release them in seconds. Just wave your hand and a swarm of plants will appear!
As for the later resurrection version, breeding was done directly in the inner scene, with more magical plants, and they could even take root in the void, completely free from the influence of terrain and environment. That was the most powerful period of the Self Faction Sinon...

"I really miss it. I don't know if I can live to see that time."

"In the Qiyun Dynasty system, the longest lifespan of an emperor is a thousand years, and the longest-lived official is Peng Zu of the Shang Dynasty, who lived for eight hundred years."

"This shackle was later broken by Emperor Wu, and the officials' life spans became longer than the emperors'. The emperors' life spans became shorter and shorter. That was because the dynasty began to decline, and everyone was 'stealing their luck and living'."

Zhao Xing counted his fingers and said, "I must use the Qiyun Dynasty System to extend my lifespan so that I can wait until the future era of recovery. Emperor Jing, Emperor Wu, and the fifteen emperors who came after him, as long as they can survive Emperor Wu's reign, the emperors who came after them will all be short-lived."

"Each dynasty lasts only a hundred years on average...it was much easier to extend my life back then. I am a Si Nong with strong vitality, so it won't be a problem for me to outlive those short-lived ghosts."

"The most difficult dynasty was the Jing Emperor. Not only was he a hardworking emperor, but he was also a stingy one. He was very stingy in extending the lifespans of his officials. On the other hand, the Wu Emperor was very generous. He would often give a general a full lifespan with a wave of his hand..."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xing continued reading. His current goal was to change his job.

[You read the "Daguan Mu Jing" at night and comprehended the spell "Five Elements Observation of Things". ]

【Five Elements Observation: Primary Spell】

[Proficiency: 1/9999]

【Effect: Use the theory of the five elements to identify the vitality of plants. 】

"Wow, I'm really lucky, another practical spell." A piece of magical knowledge emerged in Zhao Xing's mind, which was very mysterious.

There are innumerable exotic flowers and plants in the world. Even the Minister of Agriculture in every dynasty has not been able to count all of them, and many things are not recorded.

Observing things through the five elements is equivalent to the advanced detection technique of the Si Nong profession.

Suppose you encounter an unknown plant, you can observe its internal vitality from a distance and use the theory of the Five Elements to determine its benefits.

With the help of other spells, it can basically be judged accurately.

Sinong players also have many other identification skills, such as [Body Melting Identification Method].

Cut off a small portion, taste it yourself, and use your body as a melting pot to experience the specific effects more carefully.

But this spell skill is quite disappointing. Many Sinong players have been poisoned by it. Zhao Xing often sees people complaining on the forum that they were poisoned by certain herbs.

"With it, Shennong doesn't have to taste hundreds of herbs, he can just observe them."

Zhao Xing was in a very happy mood after obtaining two practical spells in a row.

Even though it was past midnight, he was still reading diligently.

The classics issued by the imperial court have certain magical powers that can help people understand the Dharma. A single book can usually be understood twice.

After two times, it loses its magical effect and only consolidates the magic knowledge that has been learned.

Time passed, but Zhao Xing was unaware of it, completely immersed in a wonderful feeling.

Although the magical power in the classics is weak, it will give him a flash of inspiration from time to time. This is the feeling of "enlightenment". It is very short-lived, like a passing meteor, but as long as he grasps it, he will feel extremely satisfied.

"Cock, cluck, cluck~" The roosters crowed outside, and the oil lamp had long been burned out. Zhao Xing raised his head and saw that it was almost dawn, and the faint light on the classics had completely disappeared.

"I have gained a lot tonight. With the blessing of Dao Embryo Pill and Yan Er Qiyun, I can actually gain so much from this kind of standard book."

Zhao Xing glanced at the panel.
