Chapter 82: Yin Shen’s classification, taking stock of the harvest!
【Name: Zhao Xing】

[Realm: From the ninth level (cannot be upgraded)]

[Occupation: None]

【Qi Luck: Yan San】

[Ju Yuan: Level 6 (10000/)]

[Extra lifespan: 53 years]

"The extra life span was increased by fifty-three years, and the luck level climbed to Yan San?!" Zhao Xing was extremely surprised.

Although I knew that I had made great gains this time, after all, I had already reached the Ju Yuan level, so I thought my lifespan should have increased a lot...but I didn't expect the gains to be so great!

What he didn't know was that, in fact, he had not yet entered the grade on the day he came down the mountain.

But after his luck climbed to the third level, he discovered several pure and beautiful places on the way down the mountain, and then he broke through.

That's why some time was wasted.

"Compared with the extra lifespan and luck, gathering Yuan and entering the realm of quality is only the smallest gain." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

As for why the realm column on the panel shows "cannot be upgraded", this has to start with the destiny dynasty system and the Great Zhou Taizu.

The Great Zhou Taizu passed on his teachings to the people. "Ju Yuan" is a method summarized by countless sages to absorb vital energy and strengthen the body.

The rank of Ju Yuan represents the strength of Yuan Qi and physical fitness.

The realm entry level not only includes the Ju Yuan level, but also includes the understanding of "Tao", "Fa" and "Skills".

Among them, the martial arts profession focuses more on improving the Ju Yuan level.

Other professions, such as agriculture, dancers, musicians, mechanical engineers, ritual practitioners, etc., tend to be more inclined towards the understanding of Tao.

The Dynasty of Fortune can help people improve their concentration and understanding of Tao.

On the contrary, it can also make it impossible for people to improve! Or even fall to a lower realm!

Of course, the official statement is that the people of the world are slow in cultivation and have many shackles.

It was because of the immeasurable merits of Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty that he used his great supernatural powers to find a way for the people of the Zhou Dynasty to practice and use their vital energy to drive magic.

Want to increase your lifespan? Become an official!

Want to learn magic? Come to our dynasty and become an official!

Want to quickly improve your cultivation? Serve as an official in the court!

Want to break through the bottleneck of cultivation? Come and become an official!

The core idea of ​​the Qiyun Dynasty system can be summarized in four words: Acting on behalf of Heaven!

Zhao Xing is now a clerk. The highest realm he can reach through his own practice is "from the ninth rank", which is the "middle ninth rank" in the ancient practice system.

Once you become an official, this restriction disappears. If you are talented enough, you may even be able to surpass your official position.

If one is unwilling to be an official, then within the Great Zhou, he will never be able to reach the "late ninth rank" or "perfection" until he is old.

There are several situations where one can practice cultivation without being an official:

First, those who are descendants of princes and nobles, or have done things that are beneficial to the country, will usually be granted "sanjia", "honorary rank" and "title".

You can practice cultivation even if you are not an official or in charge of affairs.

Of course, this is actually still a system within the "Qiyun Dynasty System".

The second is the imperial decree, which allows people who are not officials of the Zhou Dynasty or even citizens of the Zhou Dynasty to practice. Generally, foreign subjects who have made contributions to the Zhou Dynasty can also practice in the Nineteen States and enjoy various benefits under the Qiyun Dynasty system.

Third, if you leave the territory of the Great Zhou, you will naturally not be under its jurisdiction, but you will also not be able to enjoy the benefits of accelerated cultivation, breaking bottlenecks, increased blessings and longevity. If you leave the Nineteen States, it will be very difficult for ordinary people to cultivate to the ninth level.

What? You don't want to be an official?

Then why do you need such a high level of cultivation?
I granted you a casual rank and allowed you to join the luck system, but you still don't want to. Do you want to rebel?
The system of destiny dynasty was not created by the Great Zhou, but it reached its peak during the reign of Taizu of the Great Zhou.

None of the previous dynasties of destiny had ever been so highly centralized, as even people’s realm of cultivation was under their control.

It was also since Taizu that the emergence of completely free and extremely powerful individuals was prevented, thus reducing the instability factors of the dynasty.

Therefore, sects like Xuantian Sect, which advocate the original way of heaven and the freedom of practice, hate Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty very much. They would curse him eight hundred times a day, and then stab a straw man eight hundred times. They also always wanted to subvert the Zhou Dynasty.

[Basic Spell: Cultivation]

[Basic spells:]

[Growing vigorously, moving clouds, blowing wind, thunder, rain, bright eyes]

The above are all initial stage perfection. You can receive the Dharma on this basis at any time, or break through and realize new Dharma.

As intermediate spells are mastered, the importance of elementary spells decreases, and the panel no longer displays spell progress.

Zhao Xing continued to read.

[Every Tree and Grass Seems Like an Enemy: 5th Turn]

[Liu Chuan's Compilation Method·Fragments (six types)]

[Returning Strawman (sixth turn); Entangling Strawman (fifth turn); Divine Strawman (fifth turn); Thorn Strawman (third turn); Strong Strawman (seventh turn); Scouting Strawman (fourth turn)]

【Five Elements Observation (Seventh Turn)】

【Earth Vein Comprehensive Element (Sixth Turn)】

[Intermediate Spells:]

[Wild Growth: Seventh Turn (7245/9999)]

[Lightning Attraction: Nine Turns (9955/9999)]

[Cold Wind: Nine Turns (9978/9999)]

[Ice Rain: Nine Turns (Perfect)]

[Intermediate spell (self-created):]

[Thunder Noose: 8214th Turn (9999/)]

[Thunder Palm: Seventh Turn (7854/9999)]

[Secondary Occupation: Talisman Maker]

[Requiem Talisman (Basic Max Level)]

【Guide Talisman (Basic Max Level)】

[Level 4 treasures: Huangli, Qianli Chuan token, bamboo horse, sparrow feather robe, tiger soul sword x3, Minglou soft armor x]

[Fourth-level treasure: Ice Pearl (low quality)]

[Pet: Mountain Cat (Late ninth rank, exotic animals are not included in the luck system, equivalent to humans at the lower ninth rank.)]

[Plant: Tianyuan pear tree (seedling stage)]

The Four Heavenly Time Spells have greatly increased the progress of spells. Not only have the beginner spells reached perfection, the intermediate spells have also reached the ninth level, and the Ice Rain has even been perfected.

And there were even two self-created spells!
"I created this spell myself, it should be something I further comprehended after completing the thunderbolt."

"Hmm? My understanding of water magic is so much higher than before?"

"And Yin Feng actually reached the ninth level directly?!!" Zhao Xing widened his eyes.

Creating your own spells is nothing, but how difficult is it to practice Yin Feng? Only in certain seasons such as Dahan, Xiaohan, and Qingming, or in places with higher quality earth veins, can the speed of practice be fast.

When he entered the mountain, he only turned once, but when he went down the mountain, he turned nine times!

It was beyond my expectation!
"I gained a lot in the mountains. Not only did I make breakthroughs in magic, but I also got a lot of treasures. The Wenzhu box is so heavy, it must be filled with several soft armors and the Tiger Soul Sword."

Zhao Xing knew without thinking why he grabbed these two kinds, because they were easy to sell and did not take up much space.

The Tiger Sword is a short sword, and its soft armor is foldable, which is more than enough to fit in a bamboo box.

These third-level treasures were probably prepared by warriors for mountain climbing. They are hot-selling items and can be sold quickly.

"Did I accumulate more than two thousand taels of wealth from this mountain climbing?" Zhao Xing roughly calculated the value of the treasures. The robes, bamboo horse, sword, armor... together they could be sold for about a thousand or several hundred taels, and there was also one thousand taels of silver notes.

"As expected, you still have to rob to make money."

"If we want to save money seriously, how long do we have to save it?"

Robbery is much faster than making a fortune. Of course, in this period, it is not easy to rob without any consequences.

Things like climbing Mount Lingshan to collect spiritual beauty are only available when you are a minor official. After you are promoted to a senior official, you can no longer participate, but there are other ways to compete.

It's not all good news. Only a few lucky people can gain something. Most people are just runners-up, and there may even be casualties.

"Cang! Cang!"

Suddenly two bells rang from the mountain.

This marks the end of this mountain climbing experience.

Next, the East Lake Army will enter the mountain, and a large number of strong men will go in to reap what Lingshan has accumulated over the past six months.

Only ordinary beasts that posed no threat to ordinary people and some low-level treasures were left.

The bell ends.

Ji Ming, a sixth-rank official from the Supervisory Department, appeared in Ditan Square.

The Supervisory Office belongs to the county-level temple institution, which means that Ji Ming is a sixth-rank clergyman.

He had the highest status here. Even Fan Dongping, an official of the Sixth Rank in the Ministry of Agriculture, was automatically one level lower than him.

"In compliance with Bixia Yuanjun's order, all the people from Donghu are requested to submit the list of the names of the Lingxiu to be assigned to!"

Ji Ming below was muttering to himself.

Chen Shijie explained to Zhao Xing beside him: "Bixia is the Taoist name of the Yin God, and Yuanjun refers to the female Yin God."

"We, the Minister of Agriculture, may need to call upon the gods at times, so be sure not to call the wrong names."

Clergy can hold an altar to pray for rain, and the Minister of Agriculture can sometimes also call on the gods. Many magical professions have some things in common.

Zhao Xing nodded and said, "I remember that this Yuan Jun is the highest-ranking Yin God in Pinghaizhou, right?"

Chen Shijie nodded: "Nanyang County belongs to Pinghai Prefecture, and to the east of Pinghai Prefecture is Canghai."

"Pinghaizhou was not originally called Pinghaizhou, but Canghaizhou. This is because half of its current territory was once part of Canghai."

"Fairy Bixia was at the second level in her past life. During the time of Taizu, she belonged to a certain Taoist sect and was good at water magic."

"After Taizu founded the country, some sects were expelled and some surrendered. Fairy Bixia was one of the surrendered sects."

"She solved the flood for the Great Zhou Taizu and subdued the violent sea spirits, so after her death she was named Bixia Yuanjun, commanding the Yue Mansion's divine soldiers and watching over the good and evil in the world. Not only did she pacify the Sea Province, she was also a Yin God with a relatively high status in the entire Great Zhou system."

Zhao Xing pondered, "I remember that Bixia Yuanjun left behind a magic book called "Water Book", which contains many magic spells that are required to be learned by the Minister of Agriculture. Is that right?"

Chen Shijie was surprised and said, "You have a wide range of interests. Do you remember all the required magic books for the sixth-grade?"

Zhao Xing smiled modestly and accidentally showed off in front of Lao Chen.

In fact, not only did he know about it, he had also worked as a farmer in the island area.

Casting spells and planting in the sea is also very different from that on land.

If you don’t understand the "Water Book", you won’t know how to teach the water people to farm.

Chen Shijie nodded and said, "She does have a classic book of magic that has been passed down through the ages. The full name of the book is "The True Explanation of the Water-based Ocean Spirit". Of course, you can call it the Water Book for short, that's fine too. Everyone calls it that."

Zhao Xing asked again: "Was it originally hidden on Zixiao Island?"

Chen Shijie shook his head and said, "Then I don't know. Why are you asking about this?"

Zhao Xing whispered, "Just asking."

It didn't sound like a casual question, but Chen Shijie had no idea what Zhao Xing was thinking.

At this time, a stack of documents floated down from the mountain and landed in Ji Ming's hands.

The inspector then returned to the viewing stand.

Officials from various departments immediately stretched their necks, wanting to get a glimpse.

Ji Ming took out a document and asked, "Where is the magistrate of Gucheng County?"

Li Wenzheng quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "I'm here."

Ji Ming smiled and said, "Gucheng has produced a good talent. You have taught him well."

Li Wenzheng didn't know which one Ji Ming was talking about, so he could only nod and say, "It's all because of the county government's good guidance. I'm just following the rules."

Ji Ming handed the document to Li Wenzheng and pointed at it with his finger: "The first place winner will get 42 spiritual talents. He should be the top of your Gucheng. You must rectify the law and order inside and outside Gucheng and not let the talents be lost."

"Yes." Li Wenzhen took the document obediently.

Ji Ming's words were simply a choice that Zhao Xing must be included in the county's 'Winter Review' list this year.

When they heard that someone had obtained forty-two spiritual gifts, all the officials present could not help but be overwhelmed.

They all asked, "Master Li, who is Gucheng, and how could he have obtained forty-two spiritual talents?"

"Yes, Brother Wen Zheng, please call out the names quickly."

"Don't worry, everyone. Let me take a closer look." Li Wenzhen stood up straight, smiled, and slowly flipped through the documents.

The document that Ji Ming took out first was the most important, which meant that there were officials in Gucheng who had achieved the best results in this mountain climbing and spiritual exploration.

Although he didn't say the name directly, he was giving him the opportunity to call out the name. Of course, Li Wenzhen had to whet the appetite of his colleagues.

This is a rare chance of the year to be in the spotlight.

"I'm so anxious. How long do you want to see this crappy document, brother Li?!"

"Li Wenzheng, please hurry up!"

"You have mastered the art of perceiving the smallest details, right? Are you moving your fingers millimeters at a time?"

The officials around him made some jokes and there were bursts of laughter from the viewing stand.

Li Wenzhen enjoyed the gazes of his colleagues and finally read out the first name on the list.

"Zhao Xing, the clerk of the Agricultural Supervisor of Gucheng, climbed the Lingshan Mountain in Donghu Lake to compete for the first stick of incense. He collected a total of 42 pieces of spiritual beauty, two of which were top-grade and rated as A-class!"

There was a sudden uproar all around.

Top-quality Lingxiu, or two servings!
This luck is just too good to be true!

A top-grade spiritual being is usually a spiritual being of luck, which means that this person can at least reach the second level of luck.

To be an official in the Great Zhou, one must have a good luck. It is foreseeable that this person will have a bright future.

The acceptance of the official position is a foregone conclusion!
For a while, congratulations continued.

"Stand up with me, and you do whatever I do." Chen Shijie nudged Zhao Xing with his elbow, and the latter immediately understood.

Then he followed Chen Shijie and bowed in return to the officials of various county-level yamen.

This is a good opportunity to show up. As long as the name can fall into the ears of these officials, they will remember that there is such a person, which will make things much easier in the future.

"Brother Jingong, congratulations, your Sino-Agricultural Supervisor has produced a good seedling."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

"Congratulations, Master Chen. Please come to your house some other day."

"Master Liu has given an order, how dare you disobey it?"

……

Zhao Xing followed behind Chen Shijie, saying nothing, but just bowing and saluting continuously.

He didn't have the chance to speak, but it was enough for him to be remembered.

If this was still the case when he was still a player, then this wave would at least allow him to gain a lot of favor from the bureaucratic camp in Nanyang County.

Without saying too much, at least we can go from 'indifferent' to slightly 'friendly'.

The Yin God was rated as A+, and Ji Ming nominated him as the first. This was the scene that the officials had dreamed of, risking their lives to climb the mountain.

Yang Junxiong, Zong Shichang, Li Chengfeng, Lu Qian, Liu Muqing, Cao Qiu Shui and others who were watching the ceremony nearby were all extremely envious.

"You are handsome and lucky. Good luck, good fortune." Xue Wenzhong smiled happily.

As for the other officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, they all smiled sourly.

Alas, how come such a good seedling happened to appear in Huailiuyuan?
It’s really the envy of others!
