Shennong Sequence

Chapter 154: The yellow cloth's ability to return to its origin and practice incarnation
Zhao Yun tried to suppress the greed that was rising in his heart.

County Magistrate Fang looked calm. He raised his hand and pointed forward: twenty boxes, each big enough to be embraced by one's arms, flew in front of Zhao Yun.

The box made a dull sound when it fell to the ground, as if telling of the great value contained within.

"One box contains five hundred taels of gold, and twenty boxes add up to ten thousand taels of gold. These are your share."

"Besides, isn't your uncle the shopkeeper of a rice shop under my name? I'll give you that rice shop as well."

Magistrate Fang spoke with a smile on his face and a calm tone, with a hint of generosity in his expression.

After hearing this, Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Fang, if you give me this rice shop, I can protect it. However, the place where I will be taking up my new post is far away. If the rice shop is disturbed by scoundrels after I leave, I will be unable to do anything about it.

"So, in my opinion, it is better to keep the rice shop under your name, and let my uncle continue to manage it. I will be satisfied if I can earn a little money to support my livelihood."

County Magistrate Fang was slightly stunned at first, then he laughed heartily: "Haha, so that's your plan. That's good. It's my fault for not considering it carefully."

At the same time, he thought to himself that Zhao Yun was a rare person who was meticulous and not greedy for immediate benefits.

It’s a pity that the other person’s official position is now higher than his, so it’s not his turn to be promoted.

Then, the door key hanging on Zhao Yun's left wrist suddenly trembled slightly, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly. Then, the twenty boxes of gold disappeared in an instant and were stored in the door key space.

Afterwards, County Magistrate Fang and Li Sinong looked at each other, and they quickly divided the remaining gold.

After everything was settled, the thin layer of light that originally enveloped the yard slowly receded like a tide until it disappeared.

The whole yard returned to peace.

Then, Magistrate Fang bowed to Zhao Yun and Li Sinong and said, "I have some other matters to attend to, so I will say goodbye to you two for now."

"Good~"

Zhao Yun and Li Sinong responded at the same time and returned to the front of the county government office again.

When Zhao Yun met Master Sun, he nodded slightly, indicating that there was nothing to do for the time being...

As time passed slowly, it was already noon before we knew it.

A parade ground next to the county government office was decorated with lights and colorful flags. It had been carefully arranged into a lively banquet venue for officials and was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Those who received the notice and were confirmed to be rewarded were allowed into the venue one by one, and sat down in an orderly manner at each seat according to their respective lists.

But this time, Zhao Yun did not sit behind the crowd as usual.

He walked straight to a seat below Grand Minister of Agriculture Jing Yuchan and sat down calmly.

His action immediately attracted the attention of some people around him, especially those sitting below in the garrison, who all cast puzzled glances at him.

Obviously, the position where Zhao Yun was sitting was much higher than they had imagined, even closer to the front than the positions of Li Sinong and County Magistrate Fang, which made everyone feel a little uncomfortable!
"Zhao Yun is just a farming minister. How can he sit in such a high position? How can he be treated like this?" A man with a mean face and jealous eyes whispered in the crowd.

Although his voice was not loud, it was still heard by some people around him in this place where everyone was practicing.

"Why do you care about others? If you have made any contributions, you can become a general! Or maybe Zhao Yun has some special opportunities..." Another burly and straightforward man immediately retorted, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration for Zhao Yun and disdain for those who are jealous.

"No, no, generals are not only those with strong martial arts, there are also Confucian generals. And among the Si Nong, there is a special kind of Si Nong, a group of military Si Nong who specialize in taking advantage of the weather, the terrain, and the general trend of the world to carry out large-scale killings, but they are rare in our guards..." A man who looked quite shrewd and well-informed about various information said slowly.

“Alas, that kind of inheritance… If we don’t have any special merits, we’ll probably be stuck in the ninth rank of military strategists for the rest of our lives, with no chance of subsequent promotions. Look at Zhao Yun, he’s really enviable.” An older man with a weathered face sighed, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and confusion about the future.

"Who says it's not true? The power of the Taoism in Dantian can only be digested a little bit during the battle. At other times, I don't know how to digest it at all. This path of cultivation is really too difficult..."

There were many different opinions among the people below, with all kinds of speculations and discussions arising one after another.

However, Zhao Yun seemed not to hear these voices. His mind remained calm as water and he was not shaken by these remarks at all.

In addition, the main purpose of this banquet is to award rewards.

Zhao Yun’s reward had already been completed yesterday.

Apart from the official position, official uniform, armor, treasure mirror of heaven and earth, and luck that were directly granted to him, all other rewards were left in the capital of gods and could not be brought over.

Therefore, most of the treasures he has now were accumulated by him before.

As for the improvement in his strength brought about by this reward, at present, the only benefit is the good luck brought about by the increase in luck, and the amplification effect brought to him by the armor. There are not many obvious changes in other aspects.

Therefore, Zhao Yun had basically nothing to do with the reward banquet this morning.

Naturally, Zhao Yun did not have too many expectations for the rewards of other people.

After that, Zhao Yun listened to the discussions of the people around him for a while and felt bored. He looked at the sumptuous banquet food on the table, picked up his chopsticks, ate a few bites, and put them down.

Then he closed his eyes and let his mind gradually immerse in his own sea of ​​consciousness.

"The key to cultivation is perseverance. Only by practicing every day can one's strength continue to grow."

Therefore, whenever Zhao Yun has some free time, he doesn't want to waste it easily.

When his mind was immersed in his own sea of ​​consciousness, his mind fell on the beast seal emitting a faint purple light, which was condensed after he practiced the Ten Thousand Beasts Return to Their Hearts method to the entry level.

In addition, Zhao Yun had specifically asked Master Sun, who had also practiced the Ten Thousand Beasts Returning Hearts Method, in the morning. But Master Sun only said that after he had practiced the Ten Thousand Beasts Returning Hearts Method to the entry level and was able to control some beasts, he regarded the Ten Thousand Beasts Returning Hearts Method as a spell to increase spiritual intelligence and control more straw men!

He was not like Zhao Yun, who was able to condense two beast seals after the transformation of the yellow cloth!
So at this moment, Zhao Yun was secretly thinking: "My yellow cloth should have the ability to return to its origin."

'Just like when I was learning runes before, I only learned the 365 runes of the farmer, but because of this ability to trace back to the origin, I was able to condense those innate residual runes and then evolve an innate residual formation...'

"However, this ability to trace back to the source is not easy to control..."

"And according to what I have concluded now, only when one has cultivated some incomplete and profound secret manuals of martial arts can the yellow cloth's unique ability to return to its origin be triggered."

Zhao Yun thought for a while and found something wrong.

'No! The basic horse training method I first practiced also condensed the spiritual seal. But according to Master Sun, this is a prerequisite for a forbidden method, and it is also a method to test whether the farmer has the qualifications to practice... But why didn't it touch the effect of returning to the origin?'

Zhao Yun thought about it for a while and suddenly thought of another thing.

Then when Liu Ming first started learning, it couldn't have been possible that he was only learning the basic horse training finger techniques, right?
After all, Liu Ming made his fortune by raising pigs, not raising horses like Zhao Yun!

'Could it be that the prelude to the forbidden method was also split into various different training methods? And the basic horse training method I learned may be just a small part of it. The content I learned is too little, so it is not enough to make the yellow cloth return to its origin.'

'Just like when I was learning the most basic runes given by the Golden Light Mage, I didn't trigger the yellow cloth's return to its origin effect.'

"So, if it is too incomplete, it will not be able to trigger the effect of returning to the origin..."

Zhao Yun's mind was filled with all kinds of questions and speculations as he tried to connect these seemingly unrelated things and look for patterns and clues.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yun gradually had some enlightenment in his mind.

But now, there are not so many incomplete taboos or other advanced skills for him to learn and try.

At present, his main task is to take a look at the specific effects of the beast mark.

And use this beast seal to refine the spirit of the Blood-sucking Vine, which represents the ritual spirit plant, beside the spiritual power puddle, and completely train it into one's own incarnation, achieving a perfect state of control!
Zhao Yun concentrated his mind and carefully studied the characteristics and usage of the beast seal.

Then he mobilized his own magic power and urged the beast seal to move it close to the spirit of the blood-sucking vine next to the spiritual power pool, and merge it into it!
In an instant, Zhao Yun's mind keenly felt that the blood-sucking vine's spirit had produced a slight wave of resistance.

It’s like a tiny life instinctively resists when faced with a foreign invasion.

However, Zhao Yun was not at all panicked. He quickly mobilized his powerful sea of ​​consciousness and mental power, like a surging tide, to suppress the trace of resistance in the spirit.

Almost at the same time, the beast seal was easily integrated into the spirituality of the blood-sucking vine under the power of Zhao Yun.

Then, the beast seal greedily absorbed Zhao Yun's own mana and spiritual power, using these powers as a continuous source of energy, and began to defeat the spirituality of the blood-sucking vine...

During this process, Zhao Yun could clearly feel the struggle and resistance of the Blood-sucking Vine's spirit, but under the combined effects of his powerful mental strength and the beast seal, this resistance gradually became weak.

Then, in the process of re-condensing the spirituality of the Blood-sucking Vine, the beast seal formed by Zhao Yun's soul fragments became the core dominant!

And gather together again the originally scattered blood-sucking vine spirituality around.

And in this process of convergence, the beast seal continuously integrated Zhao Yun's will and strength into it, so as to better transform the blood-sucking vine's spirituality into Zhao Yun's spirituality, so that the blood-sucking vine gradually turned into an incarnation of Zhao Yun, thus achieving a perfect control effect.

In addition, the process of previously defeating and re-condensing the spirituality of the Blood-sucking Vine is also a very effective method of refining and preventing some special spiritual plants from attempting to escape control again.

Ensure the smooth progress of Zhao Yun's refining process of the blood-sucking vine.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun carefully took out the blood-sucking vine spirit that had been completely transformed into his own from his sea of ​​consciousness, and then placed it into the body of the blood-sucking vine in the door key space.

The spirit and the body, which had been separated for some time, were now able to be brought together again!
And when the spirit and body of the blood-sucking vine came into contact with each other, a wonderful feeling surged into Zhao Yun's heart.

He could feel that the two were beginning to adapt to each other, just like two long-lost gears that needed some time to get familiar with each other and adjust after meeting again...

At the same time, through this process of mutual adaptation, Zhao Yun can continue to erode the body of the blood-sucking vine through the spirituality that has been transformed into his own.

Just like sugar and water mixing together, he slowly permeated his will and strength into every corner of the blood-sucking vine's body, making its body completely fall under Zhao Yun's control!
"Only by completely mastering the two aspects of spirit and flesh can we perfectly refine this blood-sucking vine into our own incarnation."

"Moreover, this blood-sucking vine is a ritual spiritual plant that is promoted along with my own sequence level. This will definitely have an immeasurable effect on my future path of cultivation..."

Afterwards, Zhao Yun continued to immerse himself in the wonderful process of the fusion and erosion of the spirituality and the physical body of the blood-sucking vine.

In this process, with the help of luck, he also gained some new insights and experiences...

He could see the blood-sucking vine taking root in the bloody soil, greedily absorbing the endless bloody spiritual energy, and growing stronger step by step...

And once again, I felt the wonder of the Great Method of All Beasts Returning to Their Hearts.

Just like, he could understand the life of other creatures through the growth process of the blood-sucking vine, and turn these insights into his own growth insights, constantly enriching his practice experience of the Ten Thousand Beasts Returning Hearts Method.

At the same time, Zhao Yun emitted some mental power in the door key space and sensed the subtle spirituality in the two adder eggs placed under the Dragon God Tree.

And through the psychic seal, he could clearly sense the spiritual state of the snake egg.

Then, relying on the beast-taming ability of the Ten Thousand Beasts Returning to Their Hearts method, he continued to train the spirits in the two snake eggs, causing them to gradually develop towards a state of recognizing their master.

"Hey, that's not right. The eggs of this earth viper were originally bright earthy yellow. When did some blood-colored patterns appear on them? Could it be that they were affected by the blood soil and the blood spirit?"
