Chapter 36 This is not acceptable!

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded and immediately passed on the information he had found out.

"He was born an orphan, and after being adopted, he was mistreated by a jealous woman? I think he doesn't have a good life on a daily basis. My sect should save such a person from suffering. If he is trained by my sect, he will perform better!"

"Put him on the list!"

"Yes."

After the man finished speaking, the woman next to him took out another list: "Protector, there are two new first-class people in the weaving workshop and Tiangong workshop, namely 'Lin Baiwei' and 'Han Bi'."

The Falcon Guardian took a look, but this time he disagreed, "Let's observe for now. The East Lake Army and the County Military Class are both investigating closely."

"But we should wait and see. There is no need to rush. They can't keep investigating so strictly. There will always be a day when they relax. That will be the time for us to reap the rewards!"

"I have made some progress in the Beginning of Autumn assessment. Next month I will become a tribute member and receive five taels of tuition every month."

"Lord Chen, the chief of the Ministry of Agriculture, is very impressed with me and has decided to provide me with training resources every month."

"So, godfather, you don't have to give me any more money."

When Zhao Xing returned home, he heard Zhao Ruide calling him over, intending to secretly give Zhao Xing money to practice.

At this time, Zhao Ruide didn't know that Zhao Xing had won the A-level again until Zhao Xing explained it to him.

"You became a tribute member? And you are also sponsored by Chen Shijie?" Zhao Ruide was stunned at first, then he looked delighted.

But when he heard Zhao Xing refuse his money, he suddenly felt empty in his heart.

"The court and Lord Chen have funded this, and the funds are earmarked for your practice."

"You hang out with your colleagues, build friendships, and treat them to meals. Can't they also help you with these?"

"I don't have that many drinking buddies to spend money on." Zhao Xing said.

"You don't have it now, but when you become famous, you won't have any choice. If you spend your own money freely, others will have nothing to say. Otherwise, what will Lord Chen and others think?" Zhao Ruide stuffed the banknotes in his hand into Zhao Xing's hand. "I have already changed it, and I am holding... Is it possible that my adoptive father's money is too hot to handle?"

At this point, Zhao Xing had no choice but to accept it, but the amount was a bit large, a hundred taels!

"Foster father, there are so many. If Madam Cai knew about this..."

Zhao Ruide snorted, "Do you really think she's the one in charge of the family?"

Zhao Xing quickly shook his head, indicating that you, godfather, are the one in charge.

But Zhao Ruide immediately whispered, "It's okay if you don't tell me. I have always had a secret share of the profits from my master's escort business, which is paid every few years. She doesn't know about it..."

Well, it seems you still didn’t dare tell Mrs. Cai that this is private money.

However, this private money was a bit too much, and Zhao Xing didn't know that Zhao Ruide hid it so tightly.

No wonder Zhao Ruide never took it to heart every time Mrs. Cai complained. He would never go bankrupt even if he had more mouths to feed after eating meat every day!

It’s human nature if you think about it.

Mrs. Cai was born a singer. She was less than 30 years old, so she was still quite beautiful after giving birth to Zhao Zheng. However, Zhao Ruide was almost 60 years old.

If the old man and young wife revealed everything, Zhao Ruide was afraid that Mrs. Cai would run away with the money.

If it weren't for the hope of a future for his adopted son, Zhao Ruide would have planned to wait until his death to discuss this matter.

"Keep it safe for yourself and don't let Mrs. Cai know. If you are discovered, I will not acknowledge you and you will never get the money again." Zhao Ruide warned.

"Thank you, foster father."

"A loving mother often spoils her child. Zheng'er, you can take care of him. As the eldest brother, you should be more careful in the future. After I leave..."

"Foster father is still young and strong, it's too early to say this. Zheng'er is my brother, so why does foster father need to give me extra instructions?"

Zhao Ruide also felt that it was too early to say this. He didn't know why he was being a little hypocritical today. Could it be that he was really getting old?

"Go and do your thing. Mrs. Cai will be back from the market soon. Remember to hide the banknotes." "Got it."

Zhao Xing turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruide called him again.

Zhao Xing turned around, somewhat confused.

Zhao Ruide said: "You will have your coming-of-age ceremony next year, and I should give you a courtesy name."

After a boy's coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 20 and a girl's coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 15, it is no longer convenient to call them by their given names, so they are given an alias related to the meaning of their original name, called a "zi" (pen name), to represent their virtue.

This is a relatively important part of the coming-of-age ceremony. If you don’t have it, you will be laughed at.

Zhao Xing will be twenty after spring begins, so Zhao Ruide thinks it’s not too early.

"I asked someone and they think 'Lichun' is quite suitable for you. And you want to be an official in charge of agriculture. This is the first of the 24 solar terms. What do you think?" Zhao Ruide asked.

"Lichun? That's right... wait, Zhao Lichun?" Zhao Xing's face suddenly looked strange.

"Why, you don't like it?" Zhao Ruide was a little puzzled as to why he reacted so strongly.

"Uh... godfather, the word Lichun is good, but it is too common. In my Ministry of Agriculture, there are at least eighty people who use the word Lichun or Lidong as their courtesy name. I think you should think about it again." Zhao Xing refused.

"Okay, there's still half a year left, I'll ask again." Zhao Ruide was a rough man who practiced martial arts. He also knew that he was not well educated, so he had to ask more people for advice on this matter.

"What should I choose? I think the Beginning of Spring is also a good choice..." Zhao Ruide muttered as he walked away.

Zhao Xing couldn't help but laugh and cry. Godfather, this word is not suitable.

The day after the Beginning of Autumn assessment, Chen Shijie sent someone to deliver a box.

There were two dawn-colored fruits in the box. As soon as it was opened, the fragrance filled the air.

The vitality in the room became three times stronger.

【Tianyuan Pear (Level 3, Top Grade)】

[Category: Edible treasures]

【Effects: Contains rich vitality, protects the heart and strengthens muscles, calms the mind and clears away heat, and reduces the body's damage caused by the circulation of qi and blood. 】

"Tianyuan Pear, third-grade top grade, its effect is of great help to me right now."

Zhao Xing took a bite and immediately felt the rich aroma between his lips and teeth.

Tianyuan pears have thin skin, fine flesh, are crispy and refreshing, juicy and with little residue. After eating them, you won’t feel the weather is so hot anymore.

Many martial artists who have entered the realm of martial arts like to eat Tianyuan pears. Because practicing martial arts causes the Qi and blood to surge, it is easy to accumulate hidden injuries over the years. Eating Tianyuan pears for a long time can greatly reduce organ damage.

However, Si Nong does not have much demand for this effect, and what he values ​​is its effect of increasing vitality.

"Chen Shijie gives me 15 pills every month. My Yuan Gathering speed is at least doubled compared to when I don't eat them." At this stage, I'm at the second level of Yuan Gathering, which is still a considerable improvement.

As soon as Zhao Xing took a bite, the panel reacted immediately.

A record was set.

[You take the third-grade top-grade Tianyuan Pear, and your vitality increases by 25 points. ]

[Ju Yuan Level 785: 1000/]

Increase 25 points at once!
The effect is almost immediate!

According to common sense, the increasing effect could not be so great. It was because Zhao Xing's current body had never eaten any treasures that could increase his vitality. After being transformed by Dao Embryo Pill, his body's absorption efficiency of this treasure was greatly increased.

“There’s a risk of my vital energy dissipating. I can’t waste it. I have to finish eating it quickly!” Zhao Xing immediately started taking big bites.
