During this period, all life on the island withered; apart from the areas where humans were active, no supplies could be obtained anywhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such harsh conditions, Qi consumption was immense, and no supplies could be obtained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the survival competition ended, both the Tiger Dragon and the Azure Phoenix were on the verge of death, their entire bodies having thinned by a circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Cat no longer had its usual liveliness; as soon as it returned, it began eating fish in large mouthfuls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On December 18th, the survival competition ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only one day of time, the Tiger Dragon and Azure Phoenix could not recover at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because on the 19th, the 'Ice-Sealing Training' began immediately. The course was underwater, starting from the northern outer sea of Tianjing Island, swimming east, south, and west around the island, and returning to the starting point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing did not let the Azure Phoenix and Tiger Dragon go to their deaths, directly having both war beasts choose to withdraw from the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Mountain Cat stepped onto the trial of the third stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten days later, in a certain sea area, the Mountain Cat broke through the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It lay sprawled on the ice sheet, its stomach growling with hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Mountain Cat had never undergone such training, and Zhao Xing was only a novice Beast Tamer, the Mountain Cat lagged far behind in this stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It swam back to the starting point in 1,007th place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it had little time to rest, because the next day, a massive aerial melee was to be held immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exotic beasts could not land and had to fight continuously in the air; this was another competition item testing endurance and combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final stage was when things became truly cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frost-Soaring Giant Bear wielding a giant axe, the Soul-Wicked Dragon wearing custom dragon armor, and the Imperial Crocodile and Spirit Rhinoceros equipped with divine weapon sets began to join forces to eliminate the remaining war beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One war beast after another died, only to have their essence blood devoured by stronger war beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless war beasts fell from the sky.

The Mountain Cat returned to the city and fell into a deep sleep as soon as it arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing looked at the blood-covered Mountain Cat and washed it, discovering that it was all the blood of other war beasts, and immediately felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Mountain Cat is not a true war beast after all. Although its strength is great, it still lacks many things compared to true war beasts.

This Mountain Cat is a waste in your hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know how to speak, you bastard?

Promote him, transfer him to our commandery to be a Fifth-rank, and wouldn't that cat be ours too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, a strange scene appeared in Chongming Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many high-ranking Fourth-rank officials went to Chongming Prefecture to lobby, wanting Chongming Prefecture to put Zhao Xing on the list of candidates for promotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning of this, Zhao Xing was truly torn between laughter and tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wanted to rely on the Mountain Cat to break into the Ancient Dragon Court and subsequently get promoted, but he hadn't expected to be able to rise so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhao Xing chose to refuse. If he wanted to be promoted, he had to do it on his own merit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to take the back door, did he really need these profit-seeking people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Zhao Xing was still preparing to break through to the Fifth Rank; being promoted now would be equivalent to disrupting his plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, in the first month of the 22nd year of the Jingxin Calendar, Zhao Xing made a trip to Chongming Prefecture and asked Wang Xuanyi to block all these people with ill intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: he had been here for less than two years and had only achieved an 'Excellent' rating for his political performance for one year. How could he possibly be promoted to a proper Fifth-rank? This would be tantamount to ruining his future prospects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xuanyi personally promised that he would not let anyone interfere with Zhao Xing's promotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>22nd year of the Jingxin Calendar, February 10th, Spring Festival Day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing took a multi-story ship back to Dongyang County, Bixian Commandery, to celebrate the New Year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie and Gui Niang had also returned, but Long Xiao still had not come home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long Xiao, he wouldn't have gone to the White Cloud Wu family to celebrate the New Year, would he?\" Zhao Xing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not it,\" Chen Shijie said. \"This year, he was truly kept behind by his superior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm? Didn't Bai Ling conscript him?\" Zhao Xing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is said they had a quarrel. Bai Ling had Long Xiao's superior assign him extra tasks and forbade him from leaving Red Stone Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing couldn't help but be speechless. Why did this sound like another Princess Youruo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, Princess Youruo seemed to have been at odds with Liu Tianning recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing had made an appointment to visit in advance, but Princess Youruo didn't even reply to his message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Ji Zixuan who secretly told him that Princess Youruo had flown into a rage a few days ago, cursing Liu Tianning inside the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing also asked Ji Zixuan for the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that Princess Youruo wanted Liu Tianning's true self to come and accompany her, and that his affairs could be handled by his clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Old Liu refused on the grounds of being busy with official business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old witch hadn't even gone to accompany the Jing Emperor this year, intending to spend the holiday with her beloved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ended up having a huge argument, and Old Liu not only didn't come in person, he didn't even send a single clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Liu is truly too inconsiderate. I'm still working on his turf.\" Zhao Xing sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he also knew he couldn't blame Liu Tianning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because at the end of this year, the Mid-rank Great War would begin, and the training of low-rank troops would come to a complete end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jing Emperor would send seven armies from the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens: Tongyou, Jiuxiao, Huangquan, Xuanming, Tiancang, Taixu, and Wuyao to participate in the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mobilization of seven great grotto-heaven armies was the highest configuration, aside from the Emperor's personal expedition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Jing Emperor were to lead the expedition personally, he would bring his three personal guards: Jinwu, Luanyi, and Shenshen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Mid-rank Great War starting at the end of the year, Liu Tianning, as the Transport Commissioner, was naturally busy to the point of being overwhelmed. Although he had tens of thousands of clones, his mental energy was limited, and he truly had no time to come at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he could spare a clone to come and put on a show, but his true self was absolutely impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old... Teacher and Princess Youruo have also quarreled,\" Zhao Xing sighed. \"I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the Princess's mansion this year. Old Chen, you are right; people must stand on their own feet. No backing is as strong as oneself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last year, even for a simple coming-of-age ceremony, a crowd of officials visited. This year, my home is much quieter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie smiled: \"It is better to be quiet. During the New Year, let's not talk about these things. Let's go, let's make the festival rice together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>22nd year of the Jingxin Calendar, March, Zhao Xing returned to the Twin Dragon Horse Inspectorate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mainly carried out three tasks: first, breeding warhorses for the Xuanjia Army, Wuluo Army, and Jiujiang Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the foundation of his political performance; as long as there were orders every year, his performance would not be poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second was the orders from the Your Majesty Daoist Academy, mainly customized for the Beast Taming Division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing added a condition to the contract renewal this year: he wanted to ask a high-rank Beast Tamer from the Your Majesty Daoist Academy to teach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third task was to cultivate the Howling Sky Dog, Proud Sky Cat, and Inversion Sheep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his ticket into the Ancient Dragon Court. The rare treasures within the Ancient Dragon Court had far-reaching influence and must not be missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also a possibility of obtaining spiritual energy items in the Ancient Dragon Court, which would be of great benefit for him to open up pure-origin soil and cultivate the Self-School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also precious plant troop types: Void Seeds and Parasitic Seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Liu's Ten Thousand Dharma Clones are strong, but not strong enough. If my Ten Thousand Dharma Clones were based on the Ancient Dragon Vine, with a True Dragon as the bone and Dragon Blood as the source, I could possess a Ten Thousand Dharma True Dragon Clone with terrifying combat power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ancient Dragon Court can also find Void Seeds, which take root in the void. This is enough to make up for the lack of aerial firepower of the Self-School Agricultural Official.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as I can get these things, I can smoothly take over Old Liu's position when I go to the Shangluo Academy in the future and become the leader of the Self-School.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to go to the Ancient Dragon Court; Zhao Xing had come to the East Sea in the first place for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Tuoquan Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Cat, Aotian, was staring at the little Howling Sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woof woof~\" The Howling Sky Dog barked at the Mountain Cat and even went to bite the Mountain Cat's tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slap~\" Aotian gave a tail swipe, swatting it away, revealing an expression of disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Howling Sky got up from the ground, sniffing here and there, and slowly crept over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meow!\" The Mountain Cat suddenly bristled, pinning the Howling Sky Dog down with one claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dog-son actually came to lick its belly. This meow is a male cat, where would I get milk for you to eat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woo woo woof~\" Howling Sky expressed that it was very aggrieved; it was hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Cat had no choice. With a roll of its gale, the bronze bell hanging above the palace was struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Tao Anchun of the Divine Feeding Division appeared outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked in carrying several large buckets of food, looked at the bronze bell, and was somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did the Alarm Bell ring? It shouldn't be time for feeding to replenish Qi yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he was already here, Tao Anchun added extra meals for all the war beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Tao Anchun left, the Mountain Cat pointed at the bronze bell, then pointed at the food placed on the ground, and barked at the Howling Sky Dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Howling Sky Dog suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, at the hour of the Rat (midnight).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang! Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Anchun, who had just intended to go to sleep, had his expression change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did the Alarm Bell ring again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already run here eight times today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that a warhorse has broken through and lacks food to replenish Qi?\" Tao Anchun immediately climbed up again, dragging a boatload of food and flying toward Tuoquan Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he arrived at Tuoquan Palace, he saw Zhao Xing was also there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, were you also disturbed by the Alarm Bell?\" Tao Anchun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I came over to take a look while I was at it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder how many warhorses have broken through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None have broken through. It's the Cangni causing trouble.\" Zhao Xing pointed at the door of the room where the Howling Sky Dog was kept. \"The door lock was bitten through by it, and it's hitting the Alarm Bell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Anchun: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing found the Mountain Cat lying on the side: \"Did you teach it to do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Cat nodded obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you to train the dog, not to teach it to play this game.\" Zhao Xing said irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not training a dog, you're clearly training a person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder Tao Anchun comes to Tuoquan Palace eight times a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Anchun said happily: \"My Lord, these two war beasts of yours are truly spiritual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This won't do.

He is truly a freak...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing listened to Xia Jing's complaints, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, yes, yes, it is him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Fu is a freak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could he create a secret method like the \"Xuanhuang Analyzing Origin Technique\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing took a deep breath and said: \"Brother Xia, it is indeed him that I am looking for!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please tell me where he is now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Jing said: \"He was exiled to the Star Ruins Realm of Guangling Commandery and is serving in Guixu City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star Ruins Realm?\" Zhao Xing frowned. \"Why haven't I heard of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Jing said: \"I heard from my uncle that the Heavenly Secret Hall calculated that this small world is about to reach the end of its life and enter the 'Nirvana Period'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is large and very chaotic. Because it has too many entrances, it has always been in a state of contention by multiple forces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It has never been listed as a military realm of the Great Zhou, because the Great Zhou only occupies a small part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The location of the Star Ruins Realm is not even certain whether it is in the Great Zhou, because the Great Zhou only snatched the 'gate entrance'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the gate entrance, Zhao Xing understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he hadn't heard of it. For any small world with such a gate entrance, its location is ethereal, floating in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance corresponding to the Great Thousand World is unstable, while the gate entrance is a gap opened by the sect using divine weapons and magic arrays in ancient times to stabilize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the gate entrance is lost, it is equivalent to losing contact with the small world forever, and it cannot be found even if you look for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I know.\" Zhao Xing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you need my uncle to do anything else?\" Xia Jing asked. \"The place is in Guangling Commandery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need.\" Zhao Xing smiled. \"I also have connections in Guangling Commandery, have you forgotten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's true.\" Xia Jing suddenly realized. He remembered that when Zhao Xing sold quotas in the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven, he had accumulated a lot of favors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be careful in the Southern Wilderness. You are only a commander now.\" Zhao Xing reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I know.\" Xia Jing said. \"It's difficult to kill me. I practice the Gluttonous Food Method internally and the Xuanwu Shield externally. Even a Fourth-rank might not be able to kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You be careful in the East Sea too. I heard that the East Sea has not been peaceful in recent years, and there are evil sects appearing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry.\" Zhao Xing said. \"I am farming in a low profile, no one will be able to find me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ending the call with Xia Jing, Zhao Xing also received the detailed information sent by Xia Jing from the Earth Mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading it several times, Zhao Xing became excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mi Fu, oh Mi Fu, I have searched so hard for you, old man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirteen years! Do you know how I’ve spent these thirteen years?\" Zhao Xing was overcome with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the time he entered the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven, he had asked Chen Shijie and Long Xiao to look for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Jing only looked for ten years, but he had been looking for this Mi Fu thirteen years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I have news of you, I don't have to wait anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sea, on the Cloud-Rain multi-story ship, Zhao Xing's true self immediately began to break through to the Fifth-rank Pure-Origin Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Fu has appeared, so he doesn't have to wait any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because over the years, all his spells have reached the perfection of high-rank spells!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the three great secret classics and the Ten Thousand Dharma Clones, Zhao Xing has nothing left to practice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he has found Mi Fu's whereabouts, he expects to get the \"Xuanhuang Analyzing Origin Technique\" soon, so opening up pure-origin soil can also be put on the agenda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he wants to enter the Fifth-rank Pure-Origin Realm immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifth-rank Pure-Origin Realm, break for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also not very satisfied with the beast taming part he wrote, mainly because the taste was wrong, and the realm was too low, so he couldn't get interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he will adjust the rhythm and quickly skip some boring cultivation daily routines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, Mi Fu has finally been found, and it is time for Master Zhao to break through to the Fifth Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next is the plot about Mi Fu, the Ancient Dragon Court, and Prince Liang's rebellion. Try not to pad it. \u003C\u002Fp>",7198,"2026-06-17T16:13:07.318Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","15f1dff9e685aa95fc15c206c4f3677006d05b58c12859b9bf5b2da2fa911ed2","shennong-dao-lord-chapter-241","shennong-dao-lord-chapter-239",666,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshennong-dao-lord-cover.jpg"]
