Chapter 90: The Power of Assimilation, the First Merit (5000 words, please subscribe)

"Not only that, Old Man Sun also told me that his disciple's talent is so great because he ate a top-grade Daoist Pill."

"That top-grade Daotong Pill? Where did Old Sun get it from? Even Shennong Mountain won't sell it to the public easily. The top-grade pill is now controlled by the bigwigs in our farming family..."

"Who knows?"

"Hey, that's not right, Lao Hua, didn't you say before that your disciple Liu Ming would advance together with Lao Sun's disciple Zhao Yun?
I remember you told me at that time that you wanted to give Old Sun a good slap in the face, why didn't I hear you mention this matter again later?"

Hua Xiaonian, the warden of Fat Pig Prison No. 2, who was sitting at the table, suddenly twitched his face slightly.

He spent money to treat everyone to food and wine, but unexpectedly, he brought embarrassing things upon himself again, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

However, Hua Xiaonian also openly admitted that he had never compared himself to someone else:
"That old Sun is really amazing. Not only did he get a top-grade Daoist Pill, he also got a rare Blood-sucking Vine seed, which he used to make Zhao Yun an entry-level spiritual plant.

And what I prepared for my apprentice is simply incomparable."

"No way, can he even get a treasure like the Blood-sucking Vine? It is said that when that thing grows to adulthood, it can assimilate the essence of all the plants grafted onto it, and in turn, absorb the essence of the Blood-sucking Vine!"

"Not only that, the blood-sucking vine is said to have been developed to its extreme state by Jia Qimin, the dean of the Agricultural College in the Divine Capital Academy. Now the blood-sucking vine is regarded as a divine treasure!"

"There has always been this rumor, but who knows? Besides, you have to know that Old Man Sun was squeezed out of Shendu College and ended up here.

In terms of background, Old Man Sun is much better than us, so he might have some good stuff."

"Bullshit, he also led a lot of people into our farm a few years ago, but I never saw him bring out any good stuff..."

"I don't know about that. But if you are curious, why don't you ask Lord Li Sinong? Maybe Lord Sinong knows something about it."

"Well, speaking of Lord Li Sinong, I remembered another thing. When old man Sun was grazing with his group of wind-chasing horses, he always liked to run deep into the pasture.

In addition, everyone knows what happened on Xiaoyun Mountain. According to my observation, Old Man Sun particularly likes to stay not far from the foot of the mountain.

So, you say, is it possible that it was pillow talk?"

"Hey, Brother Liu is drunk!"

"What are you afraid of? Besides, is our Lord Li Sinong that kind of person?"

"Well, isn't that the kind of person you are?"

"In my opinion, no one is like that."

"Haha, Brother Hua, what you said is brilliant. Come on, let's continue drinking. Continue drinking."

Zhao Yun brought Master Sun to a secluded place, released his divine sense, and carefully explored. After confirming that there was no one around, he said softly:

"Master Sun, if I find two barbarian spies hiding in Yanshan County, would that be considered a great achievement?"

Sun Zhengxuan looked at Zhao Yun and said, "If we really find the barbarian's spy, it will naturally be a great achievement."

Zhao Yun continued, "Well, if I find the leader of these spies, who is the leader of the entire Yanshan County, what do you think of this achievement?"

Sun Zhengxuan thought for a moment and continued, "Then the credit should be increased to a higher level!"

"Well, I also learned from their leader that there are seven spies hiding in Yanshan County. What about this merit?"

Sun Zhengxuan saw that Zhao Yun's words were true, "You are not making fun of me, are you? You have finished all the work by yourself, so what does Magistrate Fang do for a living?
Makes him appear incompetent?
However, if you can really wipe out this nest of spies, it will be a great achievement."

Zhao Yun saw that Master Sun didn't have much patience to listen, so he said directly: "I didn't kill all of them, but I killed the leader and the barbarian envoys from the grassland. I don't know if this will reduce my credit."

Old Man Sun frowned and looked at Zhao Yun, "Is it because I am drunk, or is it because you are overestimating your own abilities and talking nonsense?

Could it be possible that two people who were at least at the entry level were really beaten to death by you?
Also, how could you possibly be involved in the matter of the barbarian spies when you went back home? "

"Master, it's like this..."

Zhao Yun recounted the whole story from beginning to end, and took out the "Warrior's Blood Pill" in the pottery jar he got from Zhang Sheng, as well as the "Barbarian Tribe's 9th Level Sequence Ritual Method" and the letter.

Show them one by one to Master Sun.

As for the officer Cheng Qi who wanted to target him, he also mentioned him specifically, saying that officer Cheng Qi had a special relationship with the barbarian spy Su Hu.

Revenge should be carried out on the basis of justice.

If fighting alone, Zhao Yun might not be able to defeat the veteran officer Cheng Qi.

As for Captain Niu who was higher up, Zhao Yun was even less able to resist him.

After reading the book, the envelope, and examining the two bodies in the key, Sun Zhengxuan looked at his apprentice.

"As you said, you killed those two people, which is understandable."

"I just didn't expect that you are so talented! After going back and taking a look around, you made some progress. You even learned some petrified and rigid things from the most basic method of nourishing the earth's energy. It's really amazing!"

"This border is now on alert. If it weren't for the war that was going on right now and the mobilization of troops from all over the continents, I would definitely recommend you to go to the Divine Capital Academy. It's a pity that it's a little late, what a pity..."

"However, no matter what, you deserve the most credit for this matter!"

"In addition, you also said that your sudden impulse was also related to the matter of the barbarians, which is also a big trouble... Alas, I didn't expect that Cheng Xiaoqi and Niu Baihu could be mixed with those barbarians. Your teacher has misled you!"

"However, what you are doing now is also right. If there is any problem, report it to our guard station in time, and then use the power of the guard station to suppress those dangerous people. It is also a smart move."

"Also, although you have made the greatest contribution in this matter, you still need more people to speak for you, so that your credit will not be swallowed up... So, don't think about taking the remaining credit. You should give it away and let others eat some bones and drink some soup."

"Now, you come with me, and I will go with my colleagues to meet Li Sinong!"

Then, Old Man Sun took Zhao Yun back to the wine shop and said loudly:

"Everyone, I'm afraid we can't drink this wine."

"Hmm? Old Sun, what do you mean?"

"Don't worry, everyone. Listen to me.

My apprentice also brought back a piece of news, which should be regarded as a great achievement!
As long as you support my disciple and make this achievement completely belong to my disciple Zhao Yun, I will invite you to share this achievement with me."

"What kind of merit is that? Old Sun, why don't you just call it a great merit?"

"Haha, great wealth has fallen upon you and me. My disciple Zhao Yun went to the county town and discovered that there are spies from the barbarians in Yanshan County, as well as an envoy sent by the barbarians.

So, everyone, tell me, is this a great achievement?
Moreover, when we clean up some small shrimps later, it will be enough for your disciples and grandchildren to gain some benefits."

"If that's the case, then this matter can be considered as you being righteous, Old Sun."

As the host, Hua Xiaonian was interested in Sun Zhengxuan's opinion and suggested:
"Then let's disband our drinking party? Let's go find Li Sinong together?"

"Let's go together!"

So, a group of supervisors in the Beast Breeding Prison No. 4 dispersed the drinking party and went to the logistics department to find Lord Li Sinong.

When Li Sinong saw his colleagues, they all ran over to find him.

My heart skipped a beat, and I thought something big had happened.

"When you have a meeting, you can't even get together. Why did you all have time today to come and see me?"

"For this, please ask Old Sun's apprentice Zhao Tianling to speak."

Everyone in the room looked at Zhao Yun, the military governor who was sitting in the middle of the room.

Zhao Yun stood in the middle of the room and recounted the whole story in detail again.

When talking about Zhang Sheng, he took out the elixir, the book and the letter from the pottery jar.

When talking about the barbarian spy and the envoy, a headless corpse and the body of Su Hu with his limbs cut off and his head shot out were displayed.

"These two corpses are indeed people who have entered the rank. If we take them to Taoist Master Jin Guang in the Dao Fa Department, or the people from Gong Shujia in the forging shop, and have them refine them, they might be able to extract some of their properties and eventually condense them into a special treasure for use."

"Haha, you, Old Sun, and Zhao Yun, you must be very strong and lucky!"

"In addition, I think everyone agrees that Zhao Yun deserves the credit for this matter!"

After Li Sinong set the tone of the matter, he looked at the group of people around him.

"Our guards should be united as one!"

"Also, whenever there is a major event, even if Commander Wang leads his soldiers to fight, the credit is always shared by our logistics staff!" "So, if you dare to keep the credit for yourself today, everyone will be divided tomorrow, and no one will feel good."

"Since Zhao Tianling has already found all the information, he has been credited with the first merit. Then, according to the usual rules, the remaining merit still needs to be shared with Commander Wang."

"Otherwise, if the war breaks out in the future and Commander Wang becomes estranged from everyone because of this incident and refuses to share the credit with everyone...then it will be difficult to handle those things."

"Moreover, this military merit is very useful for the soldiers to get promoted. But for us, the Minister of Agriculture, the points corresponding to the military merit and the treasures in the treasury are the most useful!"

"So, if there's any danger, let Wang's Command Room send some people to take the risk, and we'll follow behind and happily share in the spoils..."

"Of course, this matter was discovered by us, and when we explained it to Commander Wang and his men, we also needed them to bleed a little before we could tell them everything..."

"So, will you all come with me to meet Commander Wang?"

"it is good."

Although the Si Nong of the farming family all have unique skills such as magic and supernatural powers, in terms of the intensity of individual battles, the methods of the military strategists are more powerful.

It doesn't matter if some of the credit is shared, what everyone wants is battle points and various good treasures!
When the group of people found Commander Wang in a huge crowd, Commander Wang was also shocked.

After Li Sinong's explanation and Zhao Yun's recounting of the matter inside the tent, Commander Wang finally felt at ease.

Then I thought about the sermon:
"I'll take this up on you."

"Also, Zhao Tianling, right? Since you were the first to discover this incident, and you killed two barbarians, you should be credited as the first meritorious service."

"For the rest, you can stay in the guardhouse with peace of mind."

"First, it's for your safety."

"Secondly, I think you have just entered the rank, and the calamity of entering the Dao has not yet passed, right?"

"When we have cleared out all the barbarians in Yanshan County and the bugs below, I think your calamity of entering the Dao will be over."

"But if you want to participate in the subsequent events, and borrow the power of the guards to survive this catastrophe of entering the Dao, it would be like boiling oil on a raging fire, and it would be an act of self-immolation."

"So, you should understand that you should not get involved in the subsequent matters."

"Also, based on the information you have provided, no one can take your place as the top scorer! This is something that Li Sinong and I both acknowledge."

"Look, you should stay in the guardhouse and don't go out, right?"

This made Zhao Yun stunned.

He naturally knew what it meant to cook oil over a raging fire.

So, Zhao Yun looked at his master's face, and when he saw him nod, he had no choice but to agree.

Moreover, the two giants in the garrison also acknowledged his achievements, so naturally no one else could take away his credit.

Therefore, even if you don’t participate in the follow-up, it’s okay.

Zhao Yun nodded slightly and agreed.

Then, the two bodies, the contents of the jar, and so on were all left in the tent.

At the same time, Commander Wang also sent people to control all of Niu Baihu and Cheng Xiaoqi's men for investigation and questioning.

In addition, some people were sent to the inns outside the city to search for useful things that the barbarian envoy might have left behind.

People were also sent to various gambling houses in the county and to Su Hu's home to collect more detailed information.

When insects hide underground and no one knows about it, they are naturally difficult to find.

When you find one or two pieces of information and connect them together, you can naturally find more big melons by following the clues.

Everyone can gain something.

So, the people in the garrison began to run and investigate in the dark night.

As for Zhao Yun, he went to take a look at the Courtyard No. 24, which was assigned to him by Sun Bishi after he became the Commander of Tuntian.

The courtyard had been cleaned up and there were new bedding, furniture, etc.

You can move in directly!
Zhao Yun was very satisfied with this.

He arranged the furniture according to his habit and was about to use the magic to observe it twice before going to bed so that he could go to work according to the time stipulated in the Military Farming Order tomorrow.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.

Zhao Yun opened the door reluctantly, only to see Butcher Liu standing outside.

"Brother Liu is here, please come in and sit down." Zhao Yun greeted him warmly.

Butcher Liu nodded slightly and followed Zhao Yun into the yard.

Looking around this exquisite little courtyard, then at the two houses, and then comparing them with his own room in the stable, his heart was filled with envy.

Of course, compared with the two-story mansion he once owned in Yanshan County, this residence is just a drop in the bucket.

However, things are different now.

Zhao Yun brought Butcher Liu into the house and they sat down together.

Since Zhao Yun had just moved in, there was naturally no tea or other treats.

Zhao Yun simply asked directly: "Brother Liu, what brings you here so late?"

"For this, I need Brother Zhao to teach me."

As Butcher Liu spoke, he reached into his sleeve and pulled out a piece of white paper with various patterns drawn on it.

Zhao Yun looked carefully and found that it was fifty taels of silver.

However, Zhao Yun did not accept it directly, but declined politely: "Brother Zhao, we are related here, why do you have to do this? If you have anything to ask, just tell me, and I will definitely help if I can."

Butcher Liu said, "Brother Zhao is a man of honor!"

"My spiritual seal has made great progress after your careful teaching."

"After what you said to Old Man Sun the day before yesterday, if I can condense the Spiritual Seal within three days, you will give me a mid-grade Daoist Pill."

"I was just holding back my energy. That night, I could already feel a light starting to appear in my head, and the Spiritual Seal seemed to be able to condense and summon it directly."

"But at the last crucial moment, everything just fell apart. Nothing came together successfully."

"I tried again yesterday, but still failed."

"So I wanted to come to you and ask if there's something seriously wrong with me?"

"The psychic seal was about to condense, but it exploded at the last moment?" Zhao Yun pondered the problem carefully. He felt that it might be that Butcher Liu's mental strength was not enough.

As for the problem of insufficient mental strength, Zhao Yun has a way to enhance his mental strength.

But he thought of his own way.

First of all, it is natural that after the advancement of cultivation, whether it is the soul, mental power, physical body, or magic power in the body, etc., they will all be enhanced accordingly.

The second is that the skills on the yellow cloth will have a certain feedback on the growth of mental strength after continuous improvement.

Thirdly, constantly condensing runes in the sea of ​​consciousness can also help expand the upper limit of mental power.

But Zhao Yun thought about the three methods he knew and found that he had no way of applying them to Liu the Butcher.

Therefore, Zhao Yun had no good solution to the problems posed by Liu the Butcher.

Then, Zhao Yun pushed the fifty taels of silver that Butcher Liu handed to him back across the table.

"Brother Liu, I think the root of your problem may be your lack of mental strength."
