Chapter 301

Cold, dark, twisted starlight reflected on the dragon scales, and the dragon scales quickly receded, revealing wheat-colored skin.

"Burnt in one spot, red in another, white in another, just like after cupping. Great, this Heavenly Secret Robe and the almanac have all turned to ash." Zhao Xing patted himself twice, and the ashes drifted down from his body.

The power of the Fuming Furnace was too great, even though Zhao Xing broke through to the second rank, it still scorched his skin.

Fortunately, after entering the Yin World, the cold aura suppressed the furnace, and without the fire sea calcining it, the outer layer of the furnace gradually cooled down.

"Last time it was the soul that came in, this time even the physical body came in together. The Yin-Yang shuttle function of the warship is truly powerful." Zhao Xing looked around.

The Guyin warship was drifting aimlessly, and within the field of vision, it was mottled and dark. Zhao Xing discovered that it was traveling in a 'Yin cloud'.

After dealing with his injuries, Zhao Xing walked to a rudder at the bow of the ship and inserted the Shang Tang Order.

"Hum~" The rudder rose a notch, Zhao Xing's soul left his body, and he pressed his hands into the recessed card slot.

The square grid map of the Yin World appeared in his mind. At the same time, the Guyin warship also stood still, ignoring the spatial flow of the Yin World.

"The current position corresponds to the outer sea of Eastern Ying in the Yang World?"

"How did it end up here? Just this one moment of flow, the change is really big."

If Zhao Xing performs the Yin-Yang shuttle now, after he returns to the Yang World, his position will appear in the outer sea of Eastern Ying.

"The best shipping route back to the Great Zhou..." Zhao Xing's palms began to squirm.

The masts on the Guyin warship began to roar, and Yin clouds were gathered in front.

"First jump into that Yin cloud, jump four times in a row, and you can cut into the North-South Great Yin Flow according to the route of 'Guiyin, Guizi, Guichen, Guiwu'."

"Following the return flow of the North and South Yin flows, you can return to the territory of the Nineteen Provinces."

Driving the Guyin warship is relatively easy for Zhao Xing. As long as you remember 'Yin and Yang are opposite, the stems and branches locate the time and match', you can use the space flow of the Yin World to travel.

The magic of the Guyin warship is that it can give birth to the 【Yin Cloud Dao】, open a small path by itself, and cut from any point to the main road.

For example, now, when Zhao Xing finished operating, a faint mist-like tunnel permeated the front of the warship.

The stern of the ship scratched out a faint ripple that spread to the surroundings.

The entire hull was no longer horizontal, but tilted slightly downward.

"The potential difference between the front and rear Yin flows, why does it look a bit like 'inches away but worlds apart'?"

"Oh, Li Boqian is a disciple of the Heavenly Yang True Lord. He must have used the Guyin warship. It seems that 'inches away but worlds apart' was created by realizing the Guyin warship."

"I said why it was so familiar. The Yin Cloud Dao reversed, and when cast in the Yang World, it is the Yang Cloud Dao."

With his cultivation level raised to the current level, looking back at many things, the experience is different.

"Li Boqian created this cloud method with the intention of using the cloud method to distort space to the extent of changing the rules of heaven and earth."

"I suspect Old Li wants to create 99 stable and unchanging cloud paths in the Yang World."

"If this level can really be achieved, the efficiency of transportation in the Yang World of the Nineteen Provinces will be completely comparable to the Yin World."

The efficiency of Yin God sending letters is very fast. Using the regular spatial flow of the Yin World, it can be achieved in an instant.

Li Boqian is aiming for the ultimate cloud method!

If he can make 99 cloud paths exist in the Yang World, flowing forever.

Then the Great Zhou can use the cloud paths to transport materials and troops.

Its transportation efficiency will far exceed the 【Ancient Earth Dao】 of the Earth-Benefit School!

"Every Great Si Nong is ambitious."

Observing people through law, Zhao Xing glimpsed Li Boqian's inner heart.

Cloud paths flow forever, connecting the Nineteen Provinces. What a magnificent ambition!

"It seems that the cloud method 'inches away but worlds apart' is not for personal use at all. However, to achieve this level, the hope is slim."

From Zhao Xing's perspective, 'inches away but worlds apart' must first reach the ultimate level.

Secondly, Li Boqian must reach the 【Establishing Dao Realm】.

Only in this way can the cloud paths have the possibility of connecting the Nineteen Provinces. However, this is only a possibility.

Take the Lihuo True Lord as an example. His 【Borrowing Fire to Travel】 uses the Lihuo Divine Altar to achieve long-distance teleportation.

"Lihuo True Lord is Establishing Dao Realm + Divine Artifact, achieving long-distance teleportation."

"Li Boqian wants Establishing Dao Realm + Cloud Method to achieve this effect without paying a price." Zhao Xing smiled lightly.

Unfortunately, this idea is destined to fail.

"Li Boqian cannot reach the 【Establishing Dao Realm】. Without spiritual energy recovery, in the entire era of vital energy, excluding those half-dead old guys, you can count the normal Establishing Dao Realm powerhouses on one hand."

"Emperor Jing should only be in the normal Rule Realm. Perhaps he is infinitely close to Establishing Dao, but he absolutely cannot be in the normal Establishing Dao Realm." Zhao Xing thought.

"Creating an innovative ultimate cloud method is not simple, and secondly, the situation in the Yin World is different from the Yang World after all." Zhao Xing thought.

"Looking at it this way, the Kunpeng Transformation is not the ultimate method, and the cloud method 'inches away but worlds apart' is not the ultimate method. Then only the 'Yuan Feng' might be the ultimate method."

"Old Li's lifespan is not much either. He will definitely walk before Emperor Jing. After this matter is over, I must find him and learn this method from my past life."

The 'Yuan Feng' method in the past life was only mentioned once or twice in the biography of Great Si Nong Li Boqian, and it was obviously not inherited.

It is already the sixteenth year of Dazhi. Li Boqian will pass away around the Yongzhi era. His lifespan should be about the same as King Tianyan's.

"Xu Xing died in the seventeenth year of Dazhi. A few decades later, the leader of the Earth-Benefit School of the Kunyuan Academy, Xuanyuan Qingtian, will also die, and then it will be Great Si Nong Li Boqian."

"New emperor, new ministers. It's not just the Si Nong, the leaders of other professions will also pass away one after another, and finally, it will be Emperor Jing."

Xu Xing died the earliest, not because he cultivated the Myriad Law Straw Man, but mainly because he was older.

The Myriad Law Straw Man only makes people crazy, not shortens their lifespan, so the seventeenth year of Dazhi was Xu Xing's natural death, even if he hadn't cultivated the Myriad Law Straw Man, it would be the same.

Three days later.

"Boom~"

A burst of black clouds exploded at the stern of the warship. The next moment, Zhao Xing saw a string of aurora flashes, and there were shadowy Yin Gods passing by.

"I have returned to the Great Zhou territory. This should correspond to the East Sea Islands."

"Traveling this way is fast, but unfortunately, it cannot be used as a conventional method." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

No matter what realm, as long as you are not dead and become a Yin God ghost, you can stay in the Yin World for at most seven days.

The physical body coming in is even shorter. Even if you stay on the Guyin warship, you can only stay for five days.

After five days, no matter how strong you are, your physical body will disintegrate and collapse, which is a dead end.

"Now that I have obtained so many treasures and become a pivotal figure in the Dragon Court ancient land, I must go to see Emperor Jing no matter what." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The main body must go to see him in person, otherwise, it would be disrespectful.

On the fourth day, Zhao Xing arrived at the Yin World area corresponding to Tianyong Province.

"Whoosh~"

The Guyin warship appeared in the private palace of Heavenly Yang True Lord.

Aurora flashed in the distance, the spatial flow disappeared, and he entered a stable Yin World area.

"Grandmaster~ Grandmaster~"

Zhao Xing stood at the bow of the ship and called out loudly.

Not long after, Heavenly Yang True Lord flew out of the palace.

Seeing Zhao Xing's physical body and soul on the warship, Heavenly Yang True Lord couldn't help but be happy.

"Grand-disciple, it's only the end of the sixteenth year of Dazhi, why did you come out?"

"Whoa, your physical body is in such a state, did you go to a physician for acupuncture and cupping?"

Zhao Xing bowed: "Grandmaster, I am fine, just some superficial wounds."

"Grand-disciple didn't escape because of danger."

"Look, how many good things I brought out?"

Zhao Xing waved his hand, lifted the barrier of the Guyin warship, and revealed the pile of treasures.

What hasn't Heavenly Yang True Lord seen?

He originally intended to cooperate with his grand-disciple and express amazement.

But when he saw the things on the ship, the fake shock turned into real shock.

"Wow!"

"Did you raid the Dragon race's nest?"

Heavenly Yang True Lord was truly shocked.

The treasures were in piles!

As the Great Si Nong in charge of a country's finances, what hasn't he seen?

But he had never seen this scene before!

Mountains of 【Ancient Dragon Saliva】, mountains of 【Dragon Blood Holy Leaves】, and whole pieces of 【Dragon Crystal Essence】 calculated by the ton, more than twenty treasure-level divine weapons...

What was even more shocking were the Fuming Furnace and the Kunyuan Divine Hoe!

When Heavenly Yang True Lord's eyes saw these two things, swear words came out.

"Damn barbarian! This, this is... I, I'm not seeing things, am I?"

Zhao Xing picked up the Divine Farmer's Hoe and handed it to Heavenly Yang True Lord with a smile: "Grandmaster, feel it, verify the goods for your grand-disciple, and see if it's real."

With the Divine Farmer's Hoe in hand, Heavenly Yang True Lord immediately became spirited, his whole body golden, as if plated with a layer of divine light.

"It can't be fake! It can't be fake!" Heavenly Yang True Lord hugged the Divine Farmer's Hoe and dug down.

Bright yellow mist emerged from the Divine Farmer's Hoe, and the Yin World land under the warship suddenly became a notch lower out of thin air.

Heavenly Yang True Lord's palace immediately became a palace on a thousand-meter-high mountain.

"It's it, it's it!" Heavenly Yang True Lord was extremely excited.

He lifted the Kunyuan Divine Hoe and looked at it.

The vanished land shrank into a tiny piece of mud and appeared on the hoe blade.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing also nodded slightly. As expected of the former Great Si Nong, he exerted the power of the Kunyuan Divine Hoe as soon as he got his hands on it.

Why else would they say divine artifacts are awesome at digging ancient roads? With this one hoe, a thousand-meter-thick soil layer with a radius of twenty kilometers was dug away.

Seeing that Heavenly Yang True Lord was about to dig again, Zhao Xing hurriedly said: "Grandmaster, don't dig, don't dig. You still have to live here, change to another place."

"That's true." Heavenly Yang True Lord immediately took Zhao Xing and flew to another place, digging to his heart's content.

Throwing the dug soil into the space flow, several large mountains formed and disappeared, and the old man played happily.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that he finally stopped.

"Satisfying, satisfying!"

Heavenly Yang True Lord leaned on the hoe, standing at his feet, and sighed with satisfaction: "Grand-disciple, one of my great regrets in my lifetime was not being able to hold the Kunyuan Divine Hoe."

"I didn't expect that the wish I couldn't complete while alive was completed after being dead for hundreds of years."

He handed the Kunyuan Divine Hoe to Zhao Xing: "Grandmaster thanks you, I can truly die without regrets now."

A Great Si Nong who has never held the Divine Farmer's Hoe has an incomplete life. No other divine artifact has as much meaning as it.

"Grandmaster, you are being polite with me." Zhao Xing took the Divine Farmer's Hoe with a smile: "I still have things to give you."

"Hahaha, let me see, what else does my grand-disciple have to offer."

Heavenly Yang True Lord was overjoyed and flew back to the Guyin warship with Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing rolled up a large portion of Ancient Dragon Saliva and Dragon Blood Holy Leaves.

Heavenly Yang True Lord's eyes lit up, "Grand-disciple, this grade is a bit high."

It's not that he hadn't seen Dragon Saliva and Dragon Blood Holy Leaves, but the grade here was clearly different.

"That's for sure, this is for the Dragon Emperor's exclusive use!"

"Come, try it and see how the taste is."

"Look, first crush it, then roll it up with Dragon Blood Holy Leaves, and then ignite it with Dragon Crystal Essence... that's how the Dragon Emperor smokes it!"

Under Zhao Xing's operation, a large rolled cigarette appeared.

He ignited it and handed it to Heavenly Yang True Lord.

"Hiss~"

Heavenly Yang True Lord took a deep breath, his face intoxicated, as if floating like an immortal.

After holding it for a long time, he slowly exhaled.

"How is it?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Powerful!" Heavenly Yang True Lord nodded heavily.

As a Yin God, what he likes most is these things.

Dragon offerings and human offerings, the intensity is of course different.

Not to mention this is the Dragon Emperor's exclusive, even the style is different!

With such a halo bonus, plus the fact that its effect is excellent, the old man was simply overjoyed.

"I specially left a portion for you." Zhao Xing waved his hand and sent a batch to Heavenly Yang True Lord's palace.

"Don't tell anyone, otherwise other Yin Gods will come to sponge off your incense."

"Hahaha, why are you being so sneaky." Heavenly Yang True Lord laughed, "Don't worry, even if that kid Boqian comes down, I won't give it to him!"

This is what my grand-disciple offered! Want it? Find it yourself!

Looking at Heavenly Yang True Lord's happy appearance, Zhao Xing was also happy.

Heavenly Yang True Lord had helped him a lot. Back in Tianhe Prefecture, if Heavenly Yang True Lord hadn't protected him closely, he wouldn't have dared to act recklessly.

He also gave him a Shang Tang Order. This thing can shuttle between the Yin and Yang worlds and is the key to resurrection in the later stage. Combined with the Heavenly Soul Fruit, it is equivalent to a second life!

"Grand-disciple, your harvest in the Dragon Court is not small."

"Come, tell Grandmaster what happened."

Heavenly Yang True Lord was in high spirits and pulled Zhao Xing to tell him the story of the Dragon Court.

The two began to chat in the palace.

"What? Dragon Emperor's Code, there is actually such a thing!"

"You exchanged it from Yin Xiu and then used it to summon Yin Xiu? Hahahaha, amazing! That Dragon King probably doesn't even know what he missed."

"Palace of Secret Sacrifice? Can influence the Dragon King challenge mission? Hiss..."

"Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone of the White Bone Sect paid you eighteen treasures? Where did the White Bone Sect get so many good things? That idiot probably even pawned his bones, hahahaha!"

"..."

The laughter in the palace basically never stopped.

Heavenly Yang True Lord smoked Ancient Dragon Saliva while listening to Zhao Xing tell his experience, occasionally glancing at the Kunyuan Divine Hoe. This was simply his happiest and most comfortable time.

However, time is limited after all. Zhao Xing had stayed here for more than four days and had to go out.

"Grandmaster, grand-disciple has to go out."

Heavenly Yang True Lord flicked the ash, somewhat reluctant.

But he also knew that he couldn't keep Zhao Xing for too long.

"Your return from this trip is a secret, but since you have returned to Tianyong Province, you should see His Majesty, and then make arrangements."

"Yes." Zhao Xing listened obediently.

"I have already notified Li Boqian, he is on his way back. You will tear open the passage from here, and after going out, you will go directly to his Great Si Nong Mansion, and then listen to his arrangements."

"Grand-disciple is timid. If I suddenly see His Majesty, it will be inevitable to lose decorum. Grandmaster is still thoughtful." Zhao Xing flattered.

"Don't be afraid!" Heavenly Yang True Lord waved his hand, not caring at all, "His Majesty grew up watching me. He may not be a benevolent emperor, but his heart is definitely not narrow."

Zhao Xing remained silent. The old man could evaluate him like this, but he dared not echo it.

"Go see him boldly. You have Li Boqian, Liu Tianning, and Meng Kun taking care of you above, and Grandmaster and Meng Haishan supporting you below."

The world is so big, you can go anywhere!"

…………

Tianyong Province, Fengjing, East City.

Mansion of the Great Si Nong, Four Seasons Garden.

Sizzle~

A black crack appeared above the Four Seasons Garden. On the mast, the Xuan Bird flag reflected the void, spread its wings, and constantly expanded the crack.

The celestial phenomena changed, and the Yin wind whistled.

However, after expanding to a certain extent, twelve golden lights appeared in the air, like nails fixing the sky curtain.

Making the strange phenomena stop spreading. Around the black crack, it was still sunny.

Great Si Nong Li Boqian pointed his finger, and a cloud path spread diagonally, like a rescue ladder, first guiding the big object, the Fuming Furnace, down.

Then came many treasure materials, and a figure slid down the cloud ladder.

The black crack dissipated without any sound or movement, as if nothing had happened.

"Zhao Xing pays respects to the Great Si Nong!"

Li Boqian looked at the wounds on Zhao Xing's body and helped him up.

"Zhao Xing, you have worked hard."

"You don't have to worry, these are just minor injuries." Zhao Xing smiled, "Just use some medicine to treat them."

"No, what I mean by hard work is for you to endure a little longer, don't recover yet." Li Boqian pointed to the wounds. "Healing too fast is not enough to highlight your contribution."

"You brought back so many treasure materials and divine artifacts. If you were completely intact, others would just think you were very relaxed. If it were too easy to obtain, others wouldn't cherish your labor results."

Zhao Xing was stunned.

He looked around.

Sure enough, there were Earth Mirrors in all directions, accurately reflecting his wounds and the tattered fragments of his Dharma robe.

You are truly worthy of being the Great Si Nong!

Zhao Xing sighed sincerely in his heart.

"Okay, you change first." Seeing that the filming was almost done, Li Boqian gave Zhao Xing a new set of official clothes.

Taking advantage of Zhao Xing changing clothes, Li Boqian also came to the furnace and picked up the divine artifact 【Kunyuan Divine Hoe】.

"It really is it."

Li Boqian was also extremely excited at this time.

Hearing about it is one thing, but when he truly held the Kunyuan Divine Hoe in his hand, he truly felt its charm.

The reason why the Kunyuan Divine Hoe is called the Divine Farmer's Hoe is because it has a special meaning for the Si Nong.

Heavenly Yang True Lord thought about it even after he died, so one can imagine its status.

"I am stronger than the old man, hahaha." Li Boqian laughed proudly.

When the old man was the Great Si Nong, although there were many divine artifacts, he didn't encounter war, and even the Mountain and River Map and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Order were not used properly.

Without war, many divine artifacts will not exert their power with all their might!

Besides, Heavenly Yang True Lord didn't hold the Kunyuan Divine Hoe while he was alive!

"The first Great Si Nong in the history of the Great Zhou to hold the Divine Farmer's Hoe!" Li Boqian laughed proudly.

"I can brag to the seniors when I go down later."

Especially when meeting the Si Nong God of the Earth-Benefit School.

What? Senior, you haven't used the Divine Farmer's Hoe yet?

Sigh, I've tried it, that thing, actually it's just average.

"Hehe, hehe..." Thinking of this scene of showing off, Li Boqian couldn't help but yearn for it, wishing he could go down early.

Zhao Xing, who had changed his clothes nearby, looked at Li Boqian immersed in silly joy and didn't know what to say.

This is not even the leader of the Earth-Benefit School. If the Divine Farmer's Hoe were brought to the Kunyuan Academy, it is unknown what kind of sensation it would cause.

However, at this time, he couldn't care about these things. Now that he is back, there are many official matters to deal with.

For example, the situation inside the Dragon Court, the ownership of treasures, seeing Emperor Jing, etc.

At this time, Zhao Xing sealed his memory palace again.

He did this before entering Tianyong Province. Although he is already a second-rank Heavenly Luck Realm, it is even more impossible to be probed for his thoughts, but when he arrives in Fengjing, he should keep a low profile.

"Zhao Xing, these treasures were all brought back by you." Li Boqian finally started talking about business. "Do you have any plans?"

Zhao Xing had already made a decision and immediately stated his attitude: "The Dragon Emperor's Code has been bound to my soul, the Kunyuan Divine Hoe will be left for the time being to comprehend its mysteries, understand its laws, and observe its principles, in preparation for annotation."

"As for the other treasures, Xing is willing to hand them all over to the national treasury and leave them to the Great Si Nong to dispatch."

The attitude was set first, but he didn't intend to discuss the Dragon Emperor's Code and the Kunyuan Divine Hoe.

As for the other treasures, handing them all over was also a matter of attitude.

The imperial court definitely couldn't take them all, and they would definitely leave a portion for him personally. The part taken away would also be exchanged for merit.

In addition, what Zhao Xing said was handing them over to the national treasury, not the royal inner treasury. These are two different things.

The national treasury, isn't it managed by the Great Si Nong? When Li Boqian dies, it will be managed by Old Liu. Going around, it's equivalent to being in his own pocket.

So Zhao Xing's attitude was very sufficient.

As for dragon eggs, spiritual liquids, etc., there is no need to say, they are not things that can be taken out, and they are of the same nature as the Dragon Emperor's Code and the Kunyuan Divine Hoe.

Li Boqian nodded slightly: "You are willing to hand them all over, which shows your heart. However, the imperial court will not include them all in the national treasury, otherwise, what would it look like?"

"I will discuss with the main officials of other departments and leave a portion for you, and then report to His Majesty."

"His Majesty will also have rewards for the part you contributed."

"As for the Dragon Emperor's Code and the Kunyuan Divine Hoe, they should also be reported to His Majesty. They should also appear on the list and be awarded to you by His Majesty's decree. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Xing said respectfully: "The subordinate understands."

He brought back divine artifacts, which was also the execution of the imperial court's official business. It was all the cultivation of the imperial court and His Majesty's wisdom!

It is true that there is great merit, but one must also be humble and low-key.

In this way, both face and substance are there, and everyone is happy.

After chatting with Zhao Xing for a while and setting the tone and process.

Li Boqian nodded with satisfaction.

He was most afraid that Zhao Xing would be blinded by merit and become arrogant.

There have been sixteen years in the Dazhi era, how many arrogant civil and military officials have disappeared? Li Boqian has deep experience!

Even Wang Tianzhi was persuaded by him to resign and cultivate.

However, his worry was completely unnecessary. Zhao Xing had already seen through Emperor Jing.

Arrogance is impossible, he just asks Emperor Jing not to mess around.

After Li Boqian finished his instructions, he began to count carefully.

Suddenly, he looked at eighteen of the treasures.

"Huh? Why are there so many human treasures? Three 【Witch Immortal Cauldrons】 of the Southern Barbarians, five Golden Feather Divine Armors, four Spirit Witch Dharma Staves, and these three bone artifacts, the refining method clearly comes from the White Bone Sect... why are there the divine artifacts 【Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword】 and 【Jeweled Crooked Jade Sword】 of the Great Snake Kingdom?"

Li Boqian didn't know about Zhao Xing tricking Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone, and the information was not timely.

Zhao Xing smiled: "This is a long story. When I entered the Palace of Secret Sacrifice..."

After listening to him, Li Boqian was stunned.

"Really fresh. A huge Royal Court, a top sect, was actually played around by you."

"Hahahaha, the White Bone Sect definitely doesn't have so many good things, most of them were borrowed."

"I'm afraid they are going to go bankrupt next."

Can they not go bankrupt?

Heavenly Venerable Purple Bone will have to work frantically for the next few hundred years to pay off the debt for the sect.

After finishing the official business, Zhao Xing no longer called his position.

"Teacher, I heard that the Dean of the Shangluo Academy, Xu Xing, is about to pass away, I want to go and see him off."

Li Boqian nodded when he heard this: "His time is indeed running out. As far as I know, Xu Xing will pass away at the beginning of the first month of next year."

"You returned through the Shang Tang Order, it cannot be exposed, so you should appear in the public eye in the twentieth year of Dazhi when the Dragon Court closes."

"After the matters in Fengjing are finished, you can go and see him off."

"Yes." Zhao Xing also understood that it was not suitable to disclose too many things now.

Even bringing the Kunyuan Divine Hoe to the Kunyuan Academy is not something you can just run over to do. It needs to be announced to the world and a grand ceremony held, but that's all in the twentieth year of Dazhi.

"You rest for a day, prepare, and go to see the Emperor tomorrow."

"Yes."

…………

December 7th, the sixteenth year of Dazhi, Zhao Xing secretly entered the palace accompanied by Great Si Nong Li Boqian.

Emperor Jing, Ji Mingjing, met Zhao Xing in the Tianyuan Hall.

"Subject, Zhao Xing, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"May Your Majesty live for ten thousand years!"

Zhao Xing didn't look up all the way. At this time, he entered the hall and saw the light on the throne from the corner of his eye, so he bowed respectfully.

Li Boqian also performed the full ceremony.

"Exempt from ceremony."

A majestic voice came from the throne.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Xing bowed again, then stood up.

Only then did he look at the figure on the throne.

The figure on the throne was majestic, like a towering mountain, emitting irresistible majesty.

A purple-gold robe, embroidered with mysterious runes, every line flowing with powerful power, golden light flashing like stars.

His face was firm and cold, his eyes were deep like an abyss, as if containing endless wisdom and the keen eyes that insight into everything, occasionally flashing light, as if piercing through the fog of time and space, making people dare not look directly.

Wearing a brilliant crown, nineteen gems flashing on it, every gem carrying great power, the emitted light intertwined into a mysterious radiance, covering his body.

This glance made Zhao Xing's eyebrows jump, because Emperor Jing's body was too tall, over ten meters tall!

Completely a giant!

"Grant a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Xing and Li Boqian bowed again, but this time they didn't need to perform the full ceremony. The two walked in square steps to the two tables on the left and knelt down.

At this time, the golden light on Ji Mingjing's body converged, with a little less majesty and a little more closeness.

Not meeting publicly means that the atmosphere of this meeting is a relatively casual chat between the monarch and his subjects.

"Your Majesty, the subject has good news to report." After taking his seat, Li Boqian spoke.

"Oh? What good news is there?"

"Marquis of Divine Might Zhao Xing returned from the Dragon Court ahead of schedule, with a rich harvest, far exceeding my expectations." Li Boqian said.

Actually, Emperor Jing already knew, now it's just going through the process.

When Zhao Xing heard this, he immediately stood up and reported:

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the subject luckily obtained twenty-three treasure-level divine artifacts in the ancient land, a total of 1, 52 Tuo of treasure-level material 【Ancient Dragon Saliva】, 5, 19 Tuo of treasure-level 【Dragon Blood Holy Leaves】, and 61, 60 Tuo of treasure-level 【Dragon Crystal Essence】."

"There are also three rare treasures: Dragon Emperor's Code, Kunyuan Divine Hoe, and Fuming Furnace."

The Great Zhou's weight unit, one Tuo is about 120 catties.

That is to say, the treasure-level material 【Ancient Dragon Saliva】 is about 105 tons.

【Dragon Blood Holy Leaves】 is about 349 tons.

The most is 【Dragon Crystal Essence】, which is 3672 tons!

Treasure-level materials, every bit counts!

Zi and Zhu are both weight units, equivalent to grams.

One can imagine how much goods Zhao Xing brought back from the Dragon Court.

Excluding the ones he tricked, many things were unique!

If Zhao Old Master wasn't afraid of being hunted down and defected to another country. With so many things, he could completely run to a foreign country and create a top sect by himself.

Of course, this is a stupid move. It won't be long before it's the Wu Di era, and the Profound Yellow World will be full of wars. At this time, abandoning the Great Zhou and defecting to the outside? That's too stupid.

After reporting, Emperor Jing also smiled and praised: "Chenan has made great contributions, truly a lucky general!"

This is a very high evaluation, and it is rare to hear it from Emperor Jing's mouth. The historian behind the curtain recorded it quickly.

Zhao Xing immediately bowed: "The subject dare not take credit. The subject's merit today is entirely due to the cultivation of the imperial court and Your Majesty's wisdom."

"The subject is willing to hand over all the harvest to enrich our national treasury to repay Your Majesty's great kindness."

Emperor Jing nodded slightly: "I am very pleased that you have such intentions, so I will fulfill your wish."

Zhao Xing still had to thank Emperor Jing and bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You have this contribution, I cannot not reward you." Emperor Jing said: "The Kunyuan Divine Hoe is of great benefit to you, so you are allowed to keep it by your side."

"Treasure-level divine weapons are things from the outside, difficult to enter the elegant hall, so you can choose three pieces from the royal inner treasury."

Twenty-three pieces handed over, and Emperor Jing rewarded three more, and they were three pieces of his choice. This reward cannot be said to be not thick.

As for Ancient Dragon Saliva, Dragon Crystal Essence, Dragon Blood Holy Leaves, etc., Emperor Jing put them on the list of rewards for promotion.

Because Zhao Xing possesses the Dragon Emperor's Code, these things can still be used.

"Zhao Xing, you were originally a third-rank official waiting for transfer. When the Dragon Court closes, I will promote you to a third-rank official, choose a blessed land to be an official, cultivate and consolidate your realm."

"Promoted twelve ranks in merit, added a fief of one million mu, to be drafted by Boqian and various departments."

"Also rewarded with one gold medal for exemption from death, 500 Tuo of Ancient Dragon Saliva, 2, 00 Tuo of Dragon Blood Holy Leaves, 10, 00 Tuo of Dragon Crystal Essence, ninth-rank heavy weapon 'Wu Yao Warship'..."

"Specially rewarded with the Imperial Court Attendant Order, inspection of the Soldier World Cave Heaven."

After the rewards were finished, Zhao Xing bowed happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jing's move was already a thick reward.

Both merit and official position were promoted, and even the fief related to the title was rewarded, making Zhao Xing's original fief double.

Treasure-level materials, one-third were rewarded back, and Zhao Xing was also specially allowed to equip heavy weapon warships and opened many authorities to him.

Such as the Imperial Court Attendant Order that can freely enter and exit the palace, the inspection envoy that can go to the major cave heavens and blessed lands of the Soldier World, and the gold medal for exemption from death.

However, thick rewards must have plans.

Emperor Jing never mentioned one thing, and that is the Dragon Emperor's Code.

Sure enough, after Zhao Xing bowed and thanked, Emperor Jing asked: "Can the Dragon Court Code be carried with you?"

"Yes, please take a look, Your Majesty." Zhao Xing controlled his Hou Bian body, then spat out the Dragon Emperor's Code, transformed back into human form, and respectfully held it above his head.

He knew that Emperor Jing was confirming whether the Dragon Emperor's Code was really bound to his soul.

Swish~

Emperor Jing grabbed it, and the Dragon Emperor's Code floated in front of him.

Golden light rippled, and Zhao Xing felt a powerful force invade the Dragon Court Code.

"Crack crack~" Zhao Xing felt his body trembling, and his life soul was also subjected to great pressure.

In an instant, Zhao Xing was soaked in sweat.

However, this pressure came and went quickly.

Soon the Dragon Emperor's Code flew back.

"It is indeed a divine object." Emperor Jing evaluated it as such.

"I ask you, if the imperial court helps with all its strength, can you unify the Dragon Court in a short time and completely drive the other forces out of the ancient land?"

Sure enough, what should come came.

Emperor Jing really wanted Zhao Xing to unify the Dragon Court and turn it completely into the Great Zhou's backyard.

Zhao Xing arched his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, according to my exploration of the Dragon Court over the years, as well as my understanding of the Dragon race... wanting to control the Dragon Court in a short time is afraid to be difficult."

"Where is the difficulty?"

Zhao Xing replied: "Although I can summon Dragon King Yin Xiu, and even summon other Dragon Kings, it is limited to Dragon Kings."

"The ten kingdoms have Great Dragon Kings sleeping. With the code in my hand, I cannot issue orders to the Great Dragon Kings."

"If it is an executive Dragon King, I cannot change them at will and change them into the Dragon Lords of our dynasty."

"The other two parts of the code exist in the Sea of Sin and the Heavenly Abyss."

"If you want to take them back, the difficulty is even greater than conquering the Great Dragon Kings."

"If you can't take them back, you can't deprive the external forces of their entry quota. They only need to hide in these two places."

"In other words, I can only use this code to suppress external forces to seek profit and kill them as much as possible, but I cannot completely turn the ancient land into our dynasty's territory."

After listening to Zhao Xing's statement, Emperor Jing was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, dispelling this idea.

"The Dragon Emperor's Code is a good thing, you must make good use of it, and it must never fall into the hands of the enemy."

Zhao Xing knew what Emperor Jing was worried about, and immediately stated his position: "The subject will keep it in mind and will swear to protect the interests of the Great Zhou."

Up to here, the monarch-subject dialogue basically ended.

Emperor Jing kept Zhao Xing and Li Boqian in the palace for a simple meal, and also asked Zhao Xing about disaster management strategies, training of military Si Nong, material theory, two classics annotations, etc.

Zhao Xing's answers can be called excellent, but there were no shocking words, just matching his genius identity. Compared with his previous performance, it was just standard.

It wasn't until the evening that Zhao Xing and Li Boqian secretly left the palace.

"Phew~"

After returning to the Great Si Nong Mansion, Zhao Xing let out a long breath.

"Kid, this doesn't look like you." Li Boqian looked at Zhao Xing strangely, "Why are you so nervous?"

"Perhaps it's the first time to see the Emperor, facing the heavenly power directly, nervousness is inevitable." Zhao Xing said.

Li Boqian nodded, not doubting him.

"Xu Xing's time is running out, you will set off with me to Daoyuan Province tomorrow."

"After returning, we will discuss the blessed land you want to go to."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

…………

Early the next morning, Zhao Xing and Li Boqian left Tianyong Province and headed to the Shangluo Academy in Daoyuan Province.

Just after leaving Tianyong Province, Zhao Xing woke up.

His first reaction in the dream was to check the Dragon Emperor's Code.

"Sure enough, if you want to rule the Dragon Court, fortunately, this thing is really soul-bound, otherwise I'm afraid Emperor Jing would have to consider changing people."

"From third-rank to third-rank? This improvement is within my expectations. Third-rank is a hurdle. If it is positive, it means there will be great use later. If it is only from, you will never enter the core of the empire in your life."

"Promoted twelve ranks in merit, fief doubled, and also added Imperial Palace walking and Soldier World Cave Heaven inspection."

"Who wants to walk in the palace, I don't want to go at all."

"Soldier World Cave Heaven inspection is not bad, I have the authority to go to many secret places."

"Wu Yao Warship? This means I can equip most war weapons."

"Gold medal for exemption from death... don't mention it."

Overall, in the Dazhi era of the Jiazi cleaning, it is already very good to get such a reward.

If it were a normal period, the reward would be estimated to be raised, but the raising is also limited.

Zhao Xing estimated that even if Emperor Jing had rewards later, they would all be unimportant virtual positions.

Why? He still has to leave room for his son.

Otherwise, in the Wu Di era, there would be nothing to reward Zhao Xing with, so how would his son use people?

"Can exchange three times in the royal inner treasury? Huh? Doesn't that mean I have hope to create the Great Dream Academy?" Zhao Xing was a little surprised.

Emperor Jing was indeed generous this time, moving the royal inner treasury out for him to choose.

"After going back, I must take a good look." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

After all, the Dragon race's divine artifacts are for the Dragon race to use. As for the human race's treasure house, the entire Profound Yellow World, only the treasure house of the Southern Barbarian Sacred Mountain can compete with the Great Zhou Royal Palace inner treasury.

"The Dragon Court Code shouldn't have been tampered with." Zhao Xing observed the Dragon Court Code carefully again. "A rare treasure-level divine artifact, if Emperor Jing could tamper with it, he would have taken it away directly, no need to do this."

After checking it once, Zhao Xing woke up.

…………

December 20th, the sixteenth year of Dazhi, Zhao Xing secretly arrived at the Shangluo Academy in Shangluo County, Daoyuan Province.

"Zhao Xing, why did you come out?"

In the Shangluo Academy, under the Myriad Dao Tree, in a secret pavilion, Zhao Xing met Liu Tianning.

"The process is a bit complicated, I came out secretly." Zhao Xing stared at Liu Tianning, trying to see some clues from his face: "Teacher, more than ten years have passed, what realm have you reached?"

"First-rank, early stage of Life Palace."

Zhao Xing's face changed, "Do you have any abnormalities?"

After a pause, Liu Tianning sighed and said: "Yes, and the problem is very big."
