Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 681 - 12: Pure Dao Body, Meeting Mi Fei_3

It was all because of that Gray Lion Dog leading everyone astray!

"Xiao Tian, merge!"

"Huan Tian, merge!"

Zhao Xing next tried merging with Xiao Tian and Huan Tian.

Then he immediately disengaged.

"Three sets of Beast Soul Battle Armor: Gray Lion, Mountain Cat, and Spiritual Illusion. Only the second-stage merge with the Mountain Cat looks somewhat cool."

After Gray Lion’s second-stage transformation, it turned black and red.

After the second-stage transformation of the Spiritual Illusion Armor, it turned pink.

Let’s not even mention the Spiritual Illusion Goat. Merging with it reached a level of social death due to extreme cuteness.

"In the Beast Competition, Beast Tamers also need to participate. I wonder if it’s allowed for a halfway converted Beast Tamer like me to use my own spells."

Zhao Xing saw that it wasn’t written in the rules and didn’t know if it was permitted.

If he could use his spells, it would be a huge advantage for him.

Typically, Beast Tamers knew many spells, but they were used to enhance their battle beasts, making the tamers themselves relatively weak.

If he were allowed to use his Minister of Agriculture Magic, he wouldn’t just perform well in the East Sea, but among the Four Seas as well.

The only fear was being called a cheater.

It’s not uncommon for a Martial Artist to also act as a Beast Tamer, but it’s quite rare for a Minister of Agriculture to do so.

A Martial Artist only needs to master fists, feet, and weapons, but the Three Sects of Agriculture have so many spells—who has the energy to learn them all?

Of course, the vast majority of Beast Tamers were legitimate.

Oddballs like himself were indeed few and far between.

"I’ll ask Zhai Zhong about this next time." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "For now, let’s head back."

Though the thousand-year transformation hadn’t been found, Zhao Xing wasn’t too demanding. Compared to preparing to cultivate Pure Essence Soil, that could be postponed.

Moreover, Long Xiao was still helping him look for it, which was far more powerful than relying on just his own strength.

...

Jingxin Calendar, Year 29, March 20, Spring Equinox.

Guangling State, Li Fire Taoist School’s Guangling Branch.

"Phew~"

Zhao Xing walked out of the fire pit.

"Guangling State is really damn far; it took half a month just to get here."

After breaking through on the day of Jingzhe, he reached Twin Islands in two days, and then it took another thirteen days to finally arrive at ’Red Cloud County’ in Guangling State.

The Li Fire Taoist School traversed by borrowing fire, and he had to wait for the fire pits to be available along the way.

Zhao Xing transferred five times to complete the cross-state journey.

If he were still a civil servant, he wouldn’t even have dared to dream of this.

Traveling by carriage, he probably wouldn’t have been able to reach Guangling State in his lifetime.

"Mr. Zhao, over here!"

As soon as he came out, he saw a tall figure waving in the waiting area outside the fire pit.

"Mr. Wei." Zhao Xing quickly walked over. "Why did you personally come to the academy to fetch me? That’s too courteous."

The tall and handsome young man before him was Wei Wuji, the legitimate son of Duke Wei.

He was the twelfth-generation grandson of the founding Duke Wei Zhongchun. freewebnøvel_com

Currently, his grandfather was the Duke Wei.

Of course, Wei Wuji had over forty brothers, and his father’s generation had over thirty siblings. Whether the title would pass to Wei Wuji was still uncertain.

But as the legitimate descendant, Wei Wuji still carried some weight.

"My uncle is the Prefectural Governor of Red Cloud County. I happened to have a Spring Equinox break with half a month off, so I personally came." Wei Wuji smiled. "It’s your first time here. I’ll make sure to show you a good time."

"There’s nothing much to play with in Red Cloud County. Come with me to Guangling County; that place is much more fun!"

"Hold on, Mr. Wei." Zhao Xing said, "I didn’t come here to have fun; I have important matters to attend to. I need to head into the Star Ruins Realm immediately."

"So urgent?" Wei Wuji stopped in his tracks. "The Star Ruins Realm is desolate and harsh, with hardly any people."

He knew Zhao Xing wanted to go there but thought it was just for sightseeing, not expecting it to be so urgent.

"I am on a mission from my teacher to visit an old acquaintance." Zhao Xing used Liu Tianning’s name as a flag.

"Alright, since it is a command from your esteemed teacher, it must be done immediately." Wei Wuji said seriously, "Let’s go find my uncle now."

Liu Tianning’s name was quite effective in Guangling State, at least for the older generation.

Because Liu Tianning had once made a significant impact at the head of Xunyang River in Guangling County. His legend had been passed down among the people for a hundred years.

The Prefectural Governor of Red Cloud County, Chen Xuan, held a secondary fourth-rank position.

Guangling State was a fertile land, with 80% of its territory brimming with prosperity.

The weather was stable, and the soil was fertile.

Farmers could randomly throw seedlings into the fields and still harvest plenty, plus the Primordial Rice in this area ripened three times a year. In terms of stable and plentiful resources, Guangling State ranked first among the Nineteen States.

In such a resource-rich place, the Prefectural Governor held a secondary fourth-rank position, and the Prefecture Lord even held a second grade.

Of course, pure civil second grade and military second grade were quite different.

A second-grade Ritual Repairer outside the country might not even be as strong as a fourth-rank."

Because the rites of Great Zhou didn’t apply in the wilderness, resulting in many spells losing their potency, and some couldn’t be used at all.

Similarly, for a Priest, this was also true. This is why in major wilderness battles and in the construction of Supply Cities, a divine temple had to be built first; otherwise, some professions would become obsolete.

However, Chen Xuan, this Ritual Repairer, looked sturdy and strong, clearly having practiced Martial Arts.

During Emperor Jing’s period, it was acceptable, but during Emperor Wu’s period, many Ritual Repairers also practiced Martial Arts.

If the rites didn’t work, they would roll up their sleeves and use a blade.

"Chen An, why the rush?" Chen Xuan walked out from the backyard. He wasn’t in his official robes, just wearing a white training suit, with sweat on his forehead.

"A teacher’s command cannot be disobeyed." Zhao Xing clasped his hands. "I don’t have much vacation left. Please, Uncle, grant me this convenience."

Mr. Zhao could not afford to be slow; Mi Fei had already been an official in Returning Ruins City for four years.

Based on his behavior over the past decade, he never stayed in one place long. If Zhao Xing didn’t hurry, Mi Fei might leave again.
