After coming out of the backyard, many people started trying to get close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang San said there was a grass-fighting game there and wanted to invite him to watch. Li Si said a friend had organized a drinking party; would he like to have a couple of drinks later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even a middle-aged man who invited Zhao Xing to listen to music. Excuse me... what was your name again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother Huang Siping, from Huang Family Bay.\" A man with unusually high cheekbones and a somewhat balding head bowed and said somewhat melancholically: \"Brother Zhao, don't use honorifics; I'm actually a year younger than Brother Zhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, Brother Huang, forgive my slip of the tongue.\" Zhao Xing looked at the top of his head; you don't look younger than me at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhao is a busy man who forgets things easily; it's normal not to remember me.\" Huang Siping smiled: \"I wonder if Brother Zhao is willing to go with me to Brother Li's music party?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which Brother Li?\" Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, it's Li Chengfeng, who is known for his 'gentlemanly demeanor'.\" Huang Siping said. \"And colleagues like Brother Zong who made the A-list in this Minor Heat examination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called music party was just a different way of saying brothel visit. Li Chengfeng and Zong Shichang were quite wealthy and often invited some people to go, then found some songstresses to play music and dance, and incidentally slept with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All expenses are covered by Young Master Li or other young masters, including the fees for the songstresses...\" Huang Siping said very subtly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing naturally understood; they were just inviting him to visit a brothel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank Brother Li for his kindness on my behalf, but I have other arrangements, so I can only accept the invitation next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that he was being a prude; if Chen Ziyu or Qian Dong had invited him, he would have gone decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Chengfeng and Zong Shichang were competitors! Could he go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting you drunk, they arrange a songstress for you, but this songstress is actually a respectable woman (who has left the registry), and then they turn around and sue you at the county office... Zhao Xing immediately thought of the trap-setting operations from when he was a player in his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's really unfortunate; I'll come to invite Brother Zhao again next time.\" Huang Siping was quite regretful. Seeing that Zhao Xing's expression seemed to be the same, he made a calculation in his heart, bowed, and took his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How was it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He refused, saying he happened to have something to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, so many people on the A-list accepted the invitation, yet he has such airs. Could it be that he wants Brother Li and Brother Zong to invite him personally?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't say it like that; after all, we aren't very familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Siping told Li Chengfeng the news. Before the principal could speak, many people started criticizing Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chengfeng also felt slightly unhappy, but on the surface, he still smiled: \"I intended to make friends with fellow practitioners, but I was afraid of being abrupt, so I asked Brother Huang to invite him. I didn't expect that I still couldn't invite him... It's fine; invite him a few more times, and perhaps he will come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, the people below praised his tolerance and elegance one after another. By contrast, it made Zhao Xing seem like he was putting on airs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the topic quickly shifted, and Li Chengfeng and Zong Shichang didn't take it to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was only one A+; it couldn't be considered much of a threat yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Brother has only scored an A+ once, and you already have so many friends. Congratulations, congratulations.\" Qian Dong looked at Zhao Xing walking out of the crowd, his tone somewhat sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, if you do it a few more times, I'm afraid Little Dong and I will be forgotten by our elder brother.\" Chen Ziyu also chimed in with sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing smiled. He understood how the two of them felt; it was as if you thought you were each other's best friend, only to find that the other person suddenly had several more \"best bros\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, I won't forget the way you two are being sarcastic even if I become a ghost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you two have nothing to do this afternoon?\" Zhao Xing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We do, Ziyu and I plan to go to the eastern suburbs for a make-up exam.\" Qian Dong said, \"Where is Big Brother going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the temple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can elder brother receive the law again?\" Chen Ziyu's eyes were full of admiration. How long had it been since he learned Cloud Walking and Thunderclap?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just going to give it a try.\" Zhao Xing nodded slightly. Although only a week had passed, the change the Dao Embryo Pill had brought to him was very obvious; his Qi-gathering efficiency was a large chunk faster than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was also because the food at home had improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, although he hadn't reached the third stage of Qi-gathering, the [Cloud Walking] spell had reached the fifth revolution, and the [Thunderclap] spell had reached the third revolution. On this basis, he could try to master [Rainmaking].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we won't delay Big Brother's time. Let's go, Ziyu, we can't be idle either, to the eastern suburbs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm!\" Chen Ziyu nodded heavily, seemingly inspired by Zhao Xing's progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two leave together, Zhao Xing also walked toward the county office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cloud Walking, Wind Summoning, Thunderclap, Rainmaking—these are a series of spells and also the core skills of the Agricultural Official profession. I am currently missing the [Rainmaking] spell; I hope True Person Cao is helpful this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing one more spell gives one more confidence in handling examinations, and the hope of becoming a regular official becomes greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the short term, it is beneficial for becoming a regular official. Zhao Xing's main focus now is to become a subordinate ninth-rank Agricultural Official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does he want to think this way? Because Zhao Xing's long-term goal is immortality, but to achieve this goal, he must first survive the dynasty version and wait until the revival version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Qi Dynasty can extend the lives of officials! Otherwise, he would have gone to be a \"freelancer\" long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the office, a familiar voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhao, it's you again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Pang, indeed, it is me.\" Zhao Xing looked at Pang Fei; the last document approval was handled by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you here again to...\" Pang Fei looked at Zhao Xing's application document and couldn't help but be stunned, \"How long has it been, and you can receive the law again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to try my luck.\" Zhao Xing said modestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not at all, Brother Zhao will surely succeed.\" Pang Fei congratulated him, \"The lords of the Agricultural Office won't approve a law-transmission document casually. I will...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make way, urgent order from the Martial Room, make way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from outside the door, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps passing by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing looked over in confusion, only seeing the backs of a team of sword-wielding officers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Pang, what is the situation? Why are so many brothers from the Martial Room mobilized?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cooperating with the commandery's investigation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Fei suddenly lowered his voice and said somewhat mysteriously: \"Speaking of which, this matter is related to the Agricultural Office. I don't know what's going on, but recently in the twelve counties of Nanyang Commandery, many small Agricultural officials have disappeared inexplicably. Don't you think that's strange?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Small Agricultural officials disappeared?\" Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, \"Have you figured out the reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Fei shrugged: \"Isn't that what they are investigating? I don't know anything else. Brother Zhao, take a rest; I'll go submit your application now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many thanks.\" Zhao Xing sat on the chair, his brows furrowed, carefully recalling his experiences from his previous life. He had experienced the Jing Emperor period, but he had never been to Gucheng, nor had he been to Nanyang Commandery, but this did not prevent him from recalling some key events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A strange case occurred during the Jing Emperor period, where many Agricultural officials were abducted by a group of monsters calling themselves the Profound Heaven Sect... But shouldn't this be a matter of the Great Governance period? Why would it be during the Jingxin period? Did I remember it wrong? Or is it that this matter started being planned from the Jingxin calendar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1465,"2026-06-17T15:11:26.542Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c2c978fe7d712a65e05b27953c9c77d8a9aff0cacbb51a0258c3935749bfcec5","dao-lord-of-shennong-chapter-16","dao-lord-of-shennong-chapter-14",666,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshennong-dao-lord-cover.jpg"]
