Shennong Sequence

Chapter 296: The Underground World of King You's Secret; Master Sun's Dilemma of Sequence Promotion

Just when Zhao Yun was verifying the golden thunder that was derived from the golden light spell and was more powerful than the golden light against external evil, which was a combination of golden light and pure yang energy, he received a message from Master Sun.

Although Sun Zhengxuan had some friendship with Master Jin Guang in the Taoist and Legal Department of Wuyang Guard, he really didn't know the specific source of Master Jin Guang's teachers.

All we know is that when Master Jin Guang came to Wuyang Guard Station, although he fulfilled the duties of the Daofa Department, he also had another responsibility, which was directed at a certain secret in the Yanshan Mountain Range behind Wuyang Guard Station.

Before that, Commander Wang of Wuyang Guard Station used Zhao Yun's revenge as an excuse to lead the soldiers of the guard station to seize many caravans in the horse market of Yanshan City, and then made a fortune. When he was preparing to retreat, he was held accountable.

Then, Commander Wang fled into Yanshan Mountain, and finally disappeared among the vast mountains and ridges. He entered the underground world through a passage in the mountains... It may also be related to the secret that Master Jin Guang was monitoring!
After Zhao Yun finished reading what Master Sun had sent, he suddenly remembered that King You had previously issued an amnesty order, exempting Commander Wang from some of his punishments!
When the commanders of the kings came back, they said that they had discovered a passage leading to the underground world in Yanshan Mountain, and had seen some underground dwarves in the underground world and so on.

Zhao Yun was busy preparing for entering Yangui Lingshan at that time, so he just listened and didn't pay much attention.

But when I heard these things again at this time, the relationship between the two quickly came together!
However, Zhao Yun did not have a deep understanding of the details of the underground world in Yanshan Mountain, so he really did not know what would happen next...

However, Zhao Yun knew that the local tyrant official in Yanshan County, County Magistrate Fang, might have a deeper understanding of this matter.

Also, when Zhao Yun was at Yan Gui Ling Mountain, he and Magistrate Fang were on good terms!
Therefore, regarding the secrets of Yanshan, you can ask County Magistrate Fang for information...

"No, we can't ask County Magistrate Fang directly about the matters in Yanshan!"

Suddenly, Zhao Yun's thoughts turned around!

Commander Wang of Wuyang Guard Station who had committed a crime before, is still serving as the commander of Wuyang Guard Station!
The official positions and so on are still there and have not been erased.

Apparently, King You discovered the value of this commander-in-chief and tried his best to protect him.

So, think about it carefully now. At that time, Commander Wang offended a large group of powerful people and ran away, but was caught again. Later, he was pardoned by King You, and now he is still the commander of Wuyang Guard!

However, these mundane things connected the dots that connected King You, the younger brother of Emperor Mu of the Great Zhou Dynasty...

Therefore, there must be a great connection between a fugitive who offended a large number of powerful people and being pardoned by King You after resisting the pressure!

And this powerful connection should be the passage to the underground world that Commander Wang discovered when he escaped into Yanshan!

But unfortunately, not everyone can get in touch with King You.

Therefore, what King You was spying on in that underground world was not something Zhao Yun could easily find out.

As for King You, he definitely sent people to keep an eye on the information about that underground world!
At this time, if Zhao Yun went to ask Magistrate Fang, who did not know whether he belonged to the enemy or not, about the secret of Yanshan, wouldn't he be exposing himself?
So don’t ask random questions!

However, if one learns this underground escape technique and knows the approximate location of the underground world, then one might be able to go around it and enter that underground world to take a look...

But now, Zhao Yun’s main task is to enter the small world, through the ancient altar, and enter the world of real dragon.

Therefore, the underground world that King You paid special attention to will have to wait until the right opportunity comes in the future...

after that,

Zhao Yun looked at Master Sun again, and what he wrote was the dilemma he was facing now as a Sequence 8 Farm Cultivator to be promoted to a Sequence 7 Nature Master - cultivating spiritual fields!
As well as cultivating spiritual fields, it is a big problem for all the Si Nong Sequence 8 to be promoted to Sequence 7 in this Dharma Ending Age!

This is also a big problem faced by Si Nong, who is at the Sequence 9 Farmer level.

This is also a major reason why so many Si Nong in the official system who are at the level of Sequence Nine Farmers would rather be hardworking apprentices than go out and grow their own food, spiritual plants, raise livestock, etc.!

The ritual for this Sequence 9 cultivator to be promoted to Sequence 8 cultivator required cultivating spiritual plants on 1000 mu of spiritual fields. In the final ritual promotion process, one had to cultivate a piece of spiritual field in person. Only then could one truly complete the promotion ritual...

And how could a Si Nong who was at the ordinary ninth level of the Sequence have the opportunity to come into contact with a thousand acres of spiritual fields?

Or an ordinary Si Nong might be trapped at the Sequence 9 realm for his entire life, and never have the chance to see a spiritual field!

Therefore, the only way for an ordinary Si Nong to be promoted is to rely on the Si Nong Supervisor in the official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, constantly accumulate merits, or pass the national examination, and then get the opportunity to come into contact with spiritual fields and be promoted to Sequence 8 Farmer!

And now, the requirements for the ceremony of advancing from Sequence 8 to Sequence 7 require the Minister of Agriculture to cultivate at least 2000 mu of spiritual farmland...

As for Zhao Yun, as Lord Longze said, Zhao Yun's foundation had some minor flaws because the Daoist Pill he used to advance from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8 was not of the best quality.

Therefore, Zhao Yun needs to double the standard!
That is to cultivate 4000 acres of spiritual fields, and then extract the essence of these spiritual fields, and refine them into two earth spirits of equal mass, one to swallow, and one to refine Daotong Dan, to make up for it!
"It's true that if you save a little trouble at the beginning, you will have to put in dozens or even hundreds of times more effort later to make up for it!"

Zhao Yun learned his lesson.

Also, even if Zhao Yun did not meet the conditions set by Master Longze for upgrading a so-called registered disciple to a formal disciple.

Zhao Yun will also try his best to find a way to make up for this. Even at his current level, he still cannot see that tiny fundamental defect.

After all, he had the yellow cloth to assist him in his practice of magic, so his path to advancement in practice and cultivation of magic was smooth.

As for the remaining sequence promotion, it all depends on the quality of the rituals, ceremonies, and Daotong Dan.

If you can't even do these things perfectly, then when there is a gap in foundation later, which leads to the inability to advance to a certain level, that would be a real regret for the rest of your life...

Afterwards, Zhao Yun did not continue discussing with Master Sun about how to open up the spiritual field in the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth. Instead, he asked Master Sun to come to his place and told him on the spot about the situation of the spiritual veins in the dragon beast world.

If Master Sun did not enter the real dragon world, he would consume a lot of resources on the spiritual veins of the small dragon beast world to quickly cultivate the spiritual fields and then extract the spirit of Wu Earth!

Then this matter should be easier to handle.

Apart from this, Zhao Yun himself had no other way to open up and cultivate spiritual fields... and after another day,
Zhao Yun practiced this earth escape technique until he reached the entry level.

This time, he did not rely on the ritual spiritual plant Yuanci Five Elements Pine, or the power of the Five Elements escape technique in this incarnation of his or her nature, but instead relied on his own understanding of the earth escape technique, and was able to escape within the earth.

Of course, Zhao Yun had only just reached the entry level in practicing this method of escaping underground.

The distance that can be penetrated into the earth can only be within the range from the ground to one meter underground.

If you go deeper, you can also do it... but the consumption of mana will increase dramatically.

In short, the current position of one meter underground is the best, optimal and most mana-saving state for Zhao Yun to travel under the earth at the current entry level.

This is also good news for Zhao Yun.

In addition, this method of escaping underground, when combined with the original five elements escaping ability of the Yuanci Five Elements Pine, can alleviate the problem of using the Yuanci Five Elements Pine to escaping underground, because the Yuanci Five Elements Pine is only a seedling, the energy accumulated in its body is scarce, and it cannot escape long distances at once.

In addition, Zhao Yun's own 'method of escaping the earth', the ability of 'five elements of escape' of Yuanci Wuxingsong, and the 'five elements of displacement' of the five spirit generals, when these three are used in conjunction with each other, Zhao Yun's own method of escaping the earth can be used as the main method, and the other five elements of escape and five elements of displacement can be used as auxiliary methods. With a little blessing, Zhao Yun's own ability to escaping the earth can be accelerated and strengthened!
The consumption at that time will be less and better!
As for encountering stones, metals, mineral veins, etc. when escaping into the earth, it is actually not a big problem for Zhao Yun.

Because the Yuanci Five Elements Pine's ability to escape is the escape of the five elements, these clods of earth, rocks, metal veins, etc. can naturally be easily passed through. There are not so many problems and not so many restrictions.

In addition, even if you escape deep into the earth and encounter a dark river or magma, the five elements of the Yuanci Five Elements Pine also have corresponding water and fire escape abilities!

Therefore, these underground obstacles will not restrict Zhao Yun just because he has only learned this method of escaping underground.

On the contrary, after learning this method of escaping underground, the other five elements' abilities will all have enhancing effects!

In addition,

Zhao Yun also had some thoughts about the Thunder Escape Technique:

Because the golden light in Zhao Yun's body combined with the pure yang power to create the golden thunder, and the more powerful pure yang thunder that would evolve later, this was a kind of thunder mastery;

In addition to the life magnetic field, it was originally possible to mobilize thunder;
There is also the farmer's four basic weather techniques: wind, cloud, thunder and rain, among which the thunder technique is also a way of controlling thunder.

So although Zhao Yun does not have the physique of thunder, or such special magic power, he has three magical abilities related to thunder.

Therefore, Zhao Yun can actually still try to practice this Thunder Escape Technique!

In addition, this Thunder Escape Technique naturally has its own special features that are different from the Five Elements Escape Technique!

At the very least, the word "fast" is enough to explain everything.

As for the Five Elements Escape, although it can escape at a relatively long distance at one time, there is still a big gap between the mana consumed and the thunder consumed.

And under the conditions of equal magic power and thunder conditions, the Thunder Escape Method is still faster.

So the word "fast" was naturally imprinted in Zhao Yun's mind.

Also, Zhao Yun also found two runes related to thunder in the innate residual runes. He can first learn these innate residual runes related to thunder, and then put them together. There might be some resonance between the two, and then produce a enhancing effect!

Then we waited for another day, and it was getting closer and closer to the time node of the end of January or the beginning of February when the dragon would raise its head, and the blood sacrifice would open the ancient altar and connect the special channel to the real dragon world.

Zhao Yun finally got the news he wanted.

This time, the news was still obtained by Zhao Yun from his senior brother Jing Da Sinong, who was monitoring the situation of that small world at that time.

When Jing Yuchan saw Zhao Yun coming, he said directly:

"The time to enter that small world has been set. It will be the day after tomorrow, January 1th."

"When the time comes, the Beida City Barracks will send generals and warships to escort you from Zhou City."

"And on the 24th, there will be a trade fair for people like you who are coming from Zhoucheng and surrounding forces to enter the small world. At that time, you can go and take a look. It is also feasible to get to know some people in advance."

"In addition, you are also preparing some life-saving items. Also, you need to prepare some animal medicines and animal incense that have strong aphrodisiac or seductive effects on spirit beasts and dragon beasts!"

"This way, when you see something good, you can throw out the lure or aphrodisiac to lure the spirit beast or dragon beast away, so that you can collect some spirit objects or other supplies."

"In addition, even if you are chased by spirit beasts, throwing out aphrodisiac or luring animal drugs can at least attract a large number of dragon beasts, thereby ensuring your own safety..."

"Or maybe you have encountered an enemy... Let me be more ruthless. You can also use this as a method to smear some animal medicine on him and let the beasts surround him silently. This is also a way to eliminate the enemy."

"Also, I've told you this method. Others may also use the same method! Therefore, remember, after entering the small world, try to keep outsiders away from your body and surroundings!"

"Especially be wary of friends you know, or people who suddenly appear..."

"Also, you can prepare some items such as concealment, burst, mana recovery, injury recovery, poison, and other types of elixirs..."

"Oh, and your 800 private soldiers, you can talk to them. After all, this opportunity is not small! If they can go in together, it can be used as a favor between you and them.

Or, convince them to become your right-hand men and help you in the future!"
