Chapter 7

Zhao Xing sat down on the prayer mat in front of the statue, relaxed his body, closed his eyes, and had no distracting thoughts.

Before long, a breeze brushed his face, and there was the sound of thunder.

Then he felt himself in a primeval forest, full of murderous intent.

The ritualist guarding the hall felt something, looked at the statue of True Lord Cao Xi, and then fell on Zhao Xing's back: "He learned quite fast."

When all the visions disappeared, Zhao Xing opened his eyes, and there were three more spell knowledge in his mind.

Namely: [Wind Rising], [Thunder Striking], [Grass and Trees as Soldiers].

The former two belong to the Agricultural School's Heavenly Timing School and are the prerequisite small skills of the "Solar Term Order", while the latter can be classified into the Self-Nature School's "All Things Growing Map".

Learning spells in his past life meant tapping on a skill book to learn, but now he needs to comprehend real knowledge and conduct deep understanding and learning. From this perspective, players are simply geniuses.

After sitting for a while, he found that there was no more mysterious feeling, knowing that this was all he could learn now, so he stood up and bowed: "Thank you, True Lord, for bestowing the law."

[Wind Rising: Low-level spell]

[Progress: (0/9999)]

[Effect: Summon a strong wind to blow.]

[Thunder Striking: Low-level spell]

[Progress: (0/9999)]

[Effect: Under the prerequisite of Cloud Walking, thunder can sound in the clouds.]

[Grass and Trees as Soldiers: Low-level spell]

[Progress: (0/9999)]

[Effect: Use plants as soldiers to launch attacks]

……

[Wind Rising] is an independent spell, but [Thunder Striking] requires first casting [Cloud Walking].

Before changing jobs, this skill only has sound and no attack power, at most it can startle people.

What truly has attack power is [Thunder Invocation], which can invoke thunder from [Cloud Walking] to attack.

The low-level version of [Grass and Trees as Soldiers] also has a name that sounds intimidating.

Currently, Zhao Xing can only use specific plant materials to make grass soldiers; to achieve 'casting spells without external objects' and make every grass and tree around him become a soldier with a wave of his hand, he needs to constantly advance the spell.

Because he hadn't cast it yet, the proficiency was 0.

Most places in the city are forbidden to use spells to avoid disturbing the people.

Especially petty officials like them; if you accidentally blow away the pants dried by grandpas and grandmas, or wet someone's rice seeds, just wait to have your salary deducted! What? You still want to be promoted? Just stay wherever it's cool!

If you want to practice, you either go out of the city or go to the Office of Agriculture.

The Office of Agriculture is equipped with the Earth Hidden Return Origin Array; petty officials like them can do whatever they want.

After passing the gate tower of the Office of Agriculture, you can see a five or six-meter-high [Wind and Rain Building Ship]; the ship's ram is a dragon head, and the flying dragon spits water, which can benefit a thousand miles. The ship's sail is embroidered with Yu Jiang, which can blow wild winds. It is one of the classic treasures of the agricultural profession.

Of course, the small Gucheng doesn't have such high-level treasures; this is just a model, and the actual object is only available in the Office of Agriculture at the prefecture level.

But the county-level Office of Agriculture also has many good things; the treasure house in the northeast corner contains treasures such as [Flowing Cloud Flying Boat], [Return Origin Water Wheel], [Golden Straw Raincoat], and [Hundred Flower Bamboo Hat].

The reason Zhao Xing knows this so well is that the architectural layout of the Great Zhou government is basically standard; remembering one basically means remembering them all.

Plus, he didn't attack county towns with groups in his past life less, and every time he entered the city, the first thing he did was run to the Office of Agriculture; Zhao Xing knew exactly where to open the mechanism and take the secret path.

"Stop, this is the treasure house, entry is forbidden!" Suddenly a voice stopped Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing looked and realized he had wandered near the treasure house without knowing it. Seeing the guard's scrutinizing gaze, he knew his expression must be dog-like and sneaky.

Hi, occupational disease again.

"Sorry, I was distracted." Zhao Xing bowed his hands and turned away, suppressing the urge in his heart.

"Don't worry, after getting ashore, you'll have everything."

Comforting himself, Zhao Xing passed through the herbal medicine area and came to the courtyard area where official officials lived.

There is only one Principal Ninth Rank Agricultural Official in the Office of Agriculture.

There are several Secondary Ninth Rank ones, in charge of storage, iron market, registered fields, flat-level, and equal transport.

Frontier cities will also set up military agricultural officials, who are specifically assigned to follow the army and create favorable environments for the army.

The Principal Ninth Rank Agricultural Official is the main official of the Agricultural Office and generally doesn't guide petty officials, unless they have power and background.

The Secondary Ninth Rank Agricultural Official has the obligation to guide and teach internally.

There are nine Secondary Ninth Rank Agricultural Officials in Gucheng, but currently there are only seven.

Each person has a certain number of petty officials under them, who are both subordinates and students.

"Brother, Brother, wait for me!" Walking in the corridor, a familiar voice came from behind.

Turning back and stopping, it was Chen Ziyu and Qian Dong carrying baskets.

"Why are you two here so early too."

"Isn't Brother the same?" Chen Ziyu laughed.

Qian Dong pretended to be profound: "Ziyu, look, I guessed right, Brother has indeed been sneaking effort behind our backs recently, coming to visit Teacher Xue so early. Huh? Brother's complexion is much better than a few days ago..."

Zhao Xing's mouth twitched; can you not mention his complexion?

"Stop talking, let's go quickly."

Zhao Xing's superior and teacher was named Xue Wenzhong, who had the most petty officials under his command.

It wasn't because he was how powerful he was, but purely because Xue Wenzhong was a good person in the Office of Agriculture.

Other agricultural officials pick petty officials, cherish time and are unwilling to accept more, and for the sake of political performance, they consider family background and aptitude when picking, picking away all the good seedlings. If an official is promoted under their command, that counts as political performance.

Xue Wenzhong was kind and simple, only knowing how to do things without asking about the future; colleagues were unwilling to accept those with low status and rough aptitude, so he took the initiative to take on the task, so among the more than five hundred petty officials in the Office of Agriculture, two hundred and four actually apprenticed under Xue Wenzhong!

Even though the old agricultural official tried his best, there were too many disciples, and the energy allocated to each person inevitably became less; conversely, children of wealthy families like Li Chengfeng progressed rapidly under careful guidance.

Arriving at Xue Wenzhong's courtyard, there were already forty or fifty people waiting in front of the hall.

The old agricultural official was lecturing on "Hundred Explanations of Heavenly Timing" on the high platform, and everyone listened attentively; those who occasionally walked in and out were also tiptoeing, bending over and bowing their heads.

The Secondary Ninth Rank Agricultural Official already had magical aspects; it was now the beginning of summer, but peach blossoms were still blooming in the courtyard, as warm as spring.

Only the occasional coughing sound proved that this old agricultural official seemed to be somewhat old.

"Agricultural Official Xue is already ninety-eight years old, and his physical condition is not very good. The benefits for officials in the era of Emperor Jing are not many; being blessed with increased lifespan twice as a Secondary Ninth Rank is the limit, I don't know how long he can live." Zhao Xing secretly thought.

"Old Agricultural Official, please don't die this year; if you hang up, where will I find a superior to recommend me for that final step? It will inevitably be troublesome."

I don't know if the prayer in his heart worked, but Xue Wenzhong really stopped coughing and looked up again.

Oh, it turned out that the lecture was over and it entered the session of free questioning.
