Where is the Grand Minister of Agriculture going to find it? It's better not to put this energy on this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing still did not give up: \"I heard that the late emperor once gathered royal craftsmen to crack some unsolved crafts, among which there were quite a few treasures from the Li Dynasty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The late emperor once allowed me to pick treasures in the palace treasury,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is indeed true. My ancestors were mechanism families, and Taizu was a genius of the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the early Yuanshou period, I also gathered a group of royal craftsmen to do this. At first, I was full of expectations, but for decades, there has been no result.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Che sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ji royal family, as the wealthiest and largest landlord in the world, doesn't know how many treasures are sent from all over the country every year. Many are expensive and clearly valued treasures, which are classified into the Yuan Library of the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But more are strange treasures with difficult-to-determine values.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the tribute from the Four Seas Water Tribe, giving tribute to the emperor, adheres to two principles: novel and large quantity. What hasn't the emperor seen? So first, it must satisfy the novel characteristic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it really doesn't work, then go for quantity to show sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the water tribe is also very cunning. It's not easy to give treasures with clear value. If you give too little, you are afraid the emperor will be unhappy; if you give too much, your heart will ache. But following the principles of novel and large quantity to pay tribute is equivalent to sending a blind box to the emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I say this thing's value might be comparable to a peerless rare treasure. Although the possibility is small, it sounds good when reporting it! So the palace treasure treasury is divided into two storage areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One is the Yuan Library, with clear value, basically all precious treasures, which the emperor usually takes to reward ministers. For example, Emperor Jing once gave Zhao Xing three opportunities to pick treasures, and he went to the Yuan Library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, it is the Yuanfeng Library, which is a huge treasure blind box field. Many come in every year, and many are eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The royal family also understands this routine. Paying tribute is just to have an attitude. Marking the price is not a way to exploit the ministers? How can there be such an emperor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There really is, Emperor Jing often did this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his reign, the stocking volume of the Yuan Library was higher than that of the Yuanfeng Library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, by the time of Wu Di, the tributes from the water tribes, vassal states, and secondary-status tribes (a general term for groups that surrendered from the Southern Barbarians, Eastern Ying, and Western Extreme Continent) returned to being primarily stored in the Yuanfeng Treasury, with the Yuanchen Treasury as a supplement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that there are quite a few ancient objects. Emperor Jing and Wu Di gathered royal craftsmen and cracked quite a few sealed treasures. But Ji Che's vision is too high, and he doesn't look at ordinary treasures, so he doesn't take the blind box opening of the Yuanfeng Library to heart. When he first became emperor, his interest was still very high, and he gathered a large number of mechanism masters to do things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the several cracking projects left by Emperor Jing, he also invested a lot of energy. But gradually he lost interest\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you keep scratching out a prize of one or two taels, there's really no point to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when Zhao Xing mentioned the treasure of the ancient Li Dynasty's Nightmare Sect, he naturally knew it was a good thing, but the problem was: one had to be able to find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Founding Emperor once said that all the talents of the world are gathered in my urn. Your Majesty is blessed with boundless fortune; I believe that since treasures have spirits and belong to those with virtue, it must already be in Your Majesty's pocket!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Che waved his hand in low spirits, thinking Zhao Xing actually had some good idea: \"Big brother, if you want to stroll through the Imperial Treasury, you don't need to find any excuses. Just go if you want to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the Grand Minister of Agriculture; if you discover anything good that is beneficial to the country, feel free to move it to the national treasury.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing said he had obtained ancient books from the Li Dynasty, but Ji Che didn't take it to heart—could he possibly know more than the official historians? In his view, Zhao Xing was just fresh in his role as Grand Minister of Agriculture and, having taken charge of the national treasury, wanted to see the imperial inner treasury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then I'll go take a look.\" Seeing Ji Che return to a casual state of conversation, Zhao Xing stopped addressing him as 'Your Majesty' every other sentence. \"Coincidentally, I'll take a walk and go see the eldest sister.\" Ji Che stood up, and they strolled through the imperial palace together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's about to get married, I don't know what kind of temper she's throwing again.\" \"What's wrong with the Eldest Princess?\" Zhao Xing asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She insists that Liu Tianning go pick some Ice-Fire Lotus, Sea-Heaven Flower Pearls for her... these are legendary items, where is Liu Tianning supposed to find them for her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Che complained: \"I've only ever heard of these things. Before, when she couldn't get married, she was making a scene, and now that she's finally getting her wish and can marry, she's making a fuss about this and that. I'm truly defeated; what kind of psychology is this, you tell me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing laughed: \"People always feel happiest when they are close to success, and feel anxious about gains and losses once they truly obtain it.\" Ji Che curled his lip: \"In my opinion, she's just getting on in years...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ji Che!! Who are you talking about?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they passed the Yonghua Palace, a silk ribbon suddenly flew out from the palace, binding Ji Che tightly. \"Ah, Eldest Sister! I was talking about Prime Minister Tong's daughter...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash of the silk ribbon, Ji Che was dragged into the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So even an Emperor can be suppressed by bloodline.\" Zhao Xing muttered to himself and quickly flew away from the Yonghua Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial inner treasury is divided into the Yuanchen Treasury and the Yuanfeng Treasury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scale of the Yuanfeng Treasury is a thousand times larger than that of the Yuanchen Treasury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was even constructed using fragments of small worlds, specifically designated as storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the craftsmen of the Profound Yellow World do not have sophisticated methods for handling such materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, the fragment of the small world is as large as its 'physical form' in the Profound Yellow World. It is impossible to cut it into palm-sized pieces that still possess vast space, like the craftsmanship of a Qiankun Bag, to carry around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhao Xing arrived at the area where the Yuanfeng Treasury is located, he saw many palaces arranged in an orderly fashion. The palaces were merely there to adorn the entrances to the small world fragments and generally did not contain anything. The situation inside was the same as when Zhao Xing entered the treasury of the Dragon King Yin Xiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Great Dream Academy must have been studied since the reign of Emperor Jing, but the researchers didn't know whether it was actually the Great Dream Academy.\" \"The Great Dream Academy itself is a spatial treasure; it is already comparable to a Boundary Star Dao Soldier, so it's impossible for it to be placed inside a small world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Yuanfeng Treasury area, there are ten great treasure halls. If the Great Dream Academy has been under study, it must be within one of these ten halls.\" Zhao Xing flew toward the south, following the directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten great treasure halls each have a group of imperial craftsmen specifically studying unsolved treasures. The halls vary in size, and some are quite large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing arrived at the first hall—the Divine Weapon Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yang Jin, Chief Imperial Forger of the Divine Weapon Hall, greets the Grand Minister of Agriculture.\" He was a late-stage Life Palace realm mechanism master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Yang Jin was a Divine Weapon (Dao Soldier) forger within the mechanism master profession. Forgers do not have strong combat power; one could even say they are weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Jin was weak among the weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dignified Life Palace realm powerhouse, he actually had dark circles under his eyes, insufficient blood and energy, and withered, yellow hair, looking like a playboy hollowed out by wine and women. \"Is Master Yang following the Blood Forging path?\" Zhao Xing asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you can see, I have been hollowed out by weapons, which is why I look like this.\" Yang Jin smiled bitterly. \"I have let the Grand Minister see a joke.\" \"Master, according to the time, it is time for you to take your medicine.\" Just then, an attendant walked over carrying a large box of tonic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you see I am talking to the Grand Minister? Drink it later!\" Yang Jin glared at the attendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Health is important.\" Zhao Xing advised: \"I am just looking around; Master Yang should eat and drink as you need... bring it over.\" \"Yes.\" The attendant immediately obediently brought the food box over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing took the food box and sniffed it: \"Master Yang's Blood Forging path, which part of the essence and energy does it primarily sacrifice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to the Grand Minister, I cultivate the Five Viscera and Five Spirits Weapon Forging Method.\" Yang Jin replied: \"The five energies of the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs have already been cultivated to the 'Heart Forging' level.\" \"You forge with heart blood, so you must pair it with dietary supplementation to reduce the damage.\" Zhao Xing opened the layers of the food box: \"The quality of this food is a bit low and hasn't fully compensated for the loss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Minister, the treatment His Majesty gives me is already quite good. These are all eighth-grade ingredients, and there is a day each month for high-grade supplementation with ninth-grade ingredients. I cannot eat treasures as my daily food.\" Yang Jin explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing is in charge of finance and knew that this person's treatment was considered quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Jin's treatment was set by Wu Di because they are the private soldiers of the Ji royal family; they do not go through public accounts, nor do they take money from the national treasury to support their people. Even if he wanted to supplement Yang Jin, he couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still advised: \"Master Yang cultivates the Blood Forging method, sacrificing blood to weapons, and can also break weapons with heart blood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the frequency should not be too high. Currently, the world is experiencing a surge of vital energy, and the Ministry of Agriculture will soon be able to expand the scale of treasure-grade plants.\" \"When the treasure divine trees bloom and bear fruit, the quality of dietary supplementation will also improve. Master Yang, if you want to achieve success, there is no need to rush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Jin cupped his hands: \"Many thanks for the Grand Minister's reminder; your subordinate will keep it in mind.\" \"You eat first, I'll just look around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Jin quickly swallowed the supplements, while Zhao Xing wandered around the Divine Weapon Hall. Many divine weapons were displayed in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of them had clear value, meaning the craftsmen knew these were powerful divine weapons, roughly at the treasure or rare treasure level. However, they were ancient, and the forging methods were different; some possessed very powerful baleful energy, while others had sword spirits that were difficult to erase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even had very bizarre usage requirements, such as a blood-red thin sword in front of Zhao Xing, which was locked between two Profound Underworld Pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Divine Sword Jueyang, estimated to be at the peerless rare treasure level, has an extremely powerful effect. There is a sword spirit inside that can assist in controlling the Jueyang Sword, comes with a sixth-grade Wind-Breaking Domain, and also has a set of Small Thousand Sword Arrays.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But its sword spirit has a strange usage requirement.\" The attendant next to him introduced. \"The user must be male and a male with a physical defect.\" Just as he was speaking, a phantom of a woman in ancient costume suddenly floated out from the thin sword; she looked enchanting and stared at Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To use this sword, you must castrate yourself! Possess me, and you can become a top-tier sword cultivation expert in the world!\" Zhao Xing: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that's the kind of defect it meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yaoyue! How dare you offend the Grand Minister, you are courting death!\" Yang Jin, who had rushed over upon hearing the sound, shouted and immediately pulled the mechanism on the Profound Underworld Pillar. \"Boom-crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bolt of black lightning immediately struck the sword spirit Yaoyue. \"Ah~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yaoyue let out an enchanting cry and immediately returned to the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendant nearby had a dazed expression; it was clear his mind had been affected by the sword spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step back a bit.\" Yang Jin immediately pulled the attendant away; the latter's greedy gaze cleared up, and he then cupped his hands in shame and withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Minister, this sword is extremely evil and very difficult to tame.\" Yang Jin said, \"The Profound Underworld lightning attack just now didn't actually hurt her.\" \"She and the Jueyang Sword are one; from the current situation, trying to erase this sword spirit would destroy the Jueyang Sword along with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing said: \"Wouldn't it be fine to just follow her requirements?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the usage condition of self-castration is cruel, Zhao Xing believed there were still many sword-cultivating martial artists willing to sacrifice the happiness of their lower half for this divine sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Minister, I just said that what this female sword spirit says is all evil talk.\" Yang Jin said in a deep voice, \"We have selected people who volunteered for the experiment, and at first, they did indeed unleash the power of the divine sword.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before long, the person gradually went mad, and their essence and blood were sucked away. If it hadn't been discovered in time, they would have been sucked dry.\" \"It really is a harmful sword.\" Zhao Xing nodded, \"Has the Rahu King tried it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rahu King is a true super-first-grade; what would happen if he were to wield this sword?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Jin shook his head: \"Even if the Rahu King could suppress this peerless rare treasure, he would be unable to unleash its full power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, the Rahu King is accustomed to using bows. With the Jueyang Sword being suppressed, only its inherent hardness can be considered an advantage; otherwise, it's not even as good as a treasure-grade divine weapon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing also understood; it couldn't be used, and it would be a pity to destroy it. Trying to retain the peerless rare treasure grade without paying the price became Yang Jin's focus of research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of deep hatred is this? Could it be that she was a female sword-forger betrayed by her lover?\" Hearing such a requirement, Zhao Xing naturally imagined a melodramatic love story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He narrowed his eyes, looking through the sword body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female sword spirit inside the sword, wearing a large red robe, also looked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled sweetly and licked her scarlet lips with her index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she took the opportunity to lift her robe, revealing her fragrant shoulders, her right hand moving downward, and she let out a panting sound with an enchanting expression. \"Hmph, mere parlor tricks!\" Zhao Xing snorted coldly, and the Life Soul within his Three-God Life Palace immediately opened its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash of golden light, a soul spear pierced toward the Jueyang Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the female sword spirit truly screamed in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knelt on the ground clutching her head, the red clothes on her body disappeared, the enchantment vanished, and her face was full of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing looked and realized the woman was covered in wounds, with two terrifying scratches on her face and chest. Zhao Xing tried to converse with her: \"Why did you set such harsh rules?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, heh~\" The female sword spirit, with disheveled hair, did not reply, only staring at Zhao Xing and sneering. Sneering?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Zhao does not indulge her. \"Clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soul-Devouring Spear pierced through the Jueyang Sword once more. \"Ah—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword spirit let out another shrill cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing tried twice and found that as he attacked, the Jueyang Sword was indeed undergoing some kind of change. If this sword spirit died, the Jueyang Sword would also die and would only become an ordinary treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can she be detained? Forget it, there's no point in that; if she leaves the sword body, the effect will be the same.\" \"Better leave it to Yang Jin and the others to study.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing did not linger and continued to wander around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Divine Weapon Hall, those with clear value basically all had various unacceptable restrictions. Besides the Jueyang Sword, Zhao Xing also saw divine weapons in the shapes of sabers, spears, shields, daggers, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had extremely heavy baleful energy, and the user would have their mind overwhelmed by it; even a first-grade Life Palace realm expert would find it difficult to control. And if one were in the Rule realm, there would be no need to use such a treasure-grade divine weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some lacked a certain inheritance, such as a treasure called the 'Ghost Sword,' which was forged by the ancient divine sect, the Underworld Sect, and required the Underworld Sect's mental cultivation method to control. But the Underworld Sect had already gone extinct; where could one find the core mental cultivation method?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When forgers set up certain divine weapons, they always set some strange requirements. The only ones who can break them are people like Yang Jin, who are also forgers.\" \"Violent removal would damage their quality.\" Zhao Xing thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other half had undetermined value but exhibited the characteristics of divine artifacts in certain aspects. Zhao Xing looked, and this portion was not small in number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the black sword he was holding now; the sword body was extremely pitch-black, and after touching it with his hand, there was a slight numbing sensation. \"Master Yang, what is the story with this sword?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have tested it many times and found that apart from being hard, it has no other characteristics.\" Zhao Xing asked: \"Indestructible; logically, this should be a peerless rare treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Jin was also puzzled: \"Yes, possessing such a special quality is indeed very rare. But it does not conduct vital energy and cannot be controlled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who use swords are generally Sword Sect members. If vital energy cannot be transmitted, then sword energy cannot be emitted. [Sword Energy] is an important means of attack among Sword Sect martial artists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sword energy like a rainbow can increase the range of sword moves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it doesn't conduct vital energy, then it also cannot be controlled by sword-flying and can only be held in the hand by physical strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing tried it and found that after vital energy was poured in, it sank like a stone into the sea; it really couldn't be lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vital energy control, no matter what means are used, as long as the essence is formed by vital energy, whether it is magic or martial arts, it cannot make it fly. Zhao Xing's heart stirred, and a strand of spiritual energy was derived within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zheng~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of lightning suddenly crossed the sword, hitting a wall in front. \"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A charred, large hole appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Jin was startled: \"This, this... Grand Minister, how did you do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing controlled the sword, the black sword circling his body, and after trying it out, Zhao Xing held it in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a lightning-attribute spiritual sword.\" Zhao Xing pondered, \"Its sword body is compressed from pure lightning, and the array at the hilt requires spiritual energy to drive it.\" \"It is a magic sword, not for martial artists; it should be a Star-level Dao Soldier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yang Jin ask, Zhao Xing laughed: \"It is a sword of magic; you can call it the Lightning Magic Sword, not for martial artists.\" \"You don't need to study it anymore; I'll take it, and I will tell His Majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Yang Jin listened obediently. Zhao Xing wanted to take a sword, so he naturally dared not say anything. \"To drive this sword, one part spiritual energy equals one part power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the result of my many years of studying the Profound Yellow Analysis Technique. If Yang Jin and the others do the research, ten parts spiritual energy might not even unleash one part power; it's purely a waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lightning Magic Sword requires spiritual energy to drive it. Without large-scale recovery of spiritual energy, telling them is meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know what grade the Lightning Magic Sword is.\" Zhao Xing could not accurately judge its grade, only roughly judging it to be a Star Dao Soldier. \"I'll study it later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking around, he found there was nothing else to see in the Divine Weapon Hall and immediately flew away. He entered the second treasure hall, named the [Treasure Ship Hall].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside was a rusted, enclosed warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fifty meters high and a thousand meters long; the warship was entirely dark black, and at this time, only a dozen or so mechanism masters were conducting daily research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ji Gan, Chief Imperial Mechanism Master of the Treasure Ship Hall, greets the Grand Minister of Agriculture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man wearing a Thousand-Silk Dharma Robe hurried over with two assistants. \"I did not know the Grand Minister had descended; I failed to welcome you from afar, please forgive me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Gan? He had never heard this name, but this person was in the late stage of the Life Palace realm; the power within the Ji royal family was clearly extraordinary. Any random chief mechanism master of a treasure hall was a late-stage Life Palace realm expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter, I was just struck by a sudden whim this time and came to look around.\" Zhao Xing waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I invite the Grand Minister to provide guidance; our Treasure Ship Hall once... Clang!\" Ji Gan led Zhao Xing a few steps, and before he could finish his sentence, a small, diamond-shaped object fell from his sleeve, making a crisp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Minister, this is my personal mechanism treasure, the 'Thousand-Craft Ruler'.\" Ji Gan calmly put away the treasure. Zhao Xing nodded; the Thousand-Craft Ruler, also known as the Thousand-Pry Ruler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a series of Boundless Ju Zi divine weapons, which can be large or small, and is said to be able to pry open any lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can even allow the Thousand-Craft Ruler to drill through places the size of a pore to see the situation inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Treasure Ship Office mainly studies various strange warships and flying boat-type treasures. Some are ancient, and their craftsmanship is already vastly different from modern times.\" \"Grand Minister, please look; this is a fully enclosed warship. Its exterior has rusted, but this rust was born from ten-thousand-year-old Profound Iron Mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For ten-thousand-year-old Profound Iron Mother to rust naturally, the time span must be at least a million years or more. Of course, it is also possible that it was eroded by some kind of metal-attribute rule or magic...\" Ding-ding-dang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Gan was just introducing it, but after only a few steps, another hammer fell down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing's gaze fell, and he saw Ji Gan pick up the treasure embarrassedly and hold it in his hand: \"As you can see, this is also a treasure of my mechanism master, named the Two-Yi Hammer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic is divided into Yin and Yang, and materials naturally have Yin and Yang distinctions. Sometimes, to crack the magic array restriction of a treasure, you take it and tap it, and you can discover which attribute the internal material structure belongs to through the magic array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you can carry out targeted cracking... Clang-ding-dang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, things fell, and it wasn't just Ji Gan; the personal tools of the two people next to him also fell all over the ground. Even on Zhao Xing, a jade pendant fell downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing was quick-witted and used vital energy to catch the jade pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade pendant on him was an accessory for the Grand Minister of Agriculture's formal attire, embroidered with cloud patterns; the exterior was ink-colored, but after light shone on it, one could see green within the ink. Ink-Bamboo Jade Pendant, this is a ninth-grade treasure; he was wearing it on his body, yet it fell off suddenly without him noticing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Minister, we...\" Ji Gan was somewhat at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you don't need to explain; I understand.\" Zhao Xing waved his hand and looked at the rusted warship, \"Is it that all non-living things that approach this ship will automatically fall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Ji Gan nodded, \"That's exactly it. Fifty years ago, we didn't know who touched some kind of mechanism, and then all the mechanism devices that approached it would automatically fall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This strange phenomenon has lasted for fifty years, and we have never been able to figure it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Gan and the assistants next to him were somewhat ashamed. Fifty years had passed, and there had been no progress in the research. With the Grand Minister coming to inspect and such a situation occurring, it was truly a bit embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing held the jade pendant and walked forward step by step. He found that the closer he got, the heavier the jade pendant became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he approached within fifty meters, he even had to explode his energy and enter a combat state to keep his clothes and accessories neat. Otherwise, everything would have to fall to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soul Heavenly Vision!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Zhao Xing's Three-God Life Palace, the Life Soul immediately opened its eyes to examine this dark-black warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul Heavenly Vision is a first-turn level of Ultimate Dharma. Not long after Zhao Xing constructed his Three-God Life Palace, he had already successfully mastered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing on high ground, it was relatively easy to master the magic of the Ultimate First-Turn Dharma with the soul of a Rule realm expert. From the 81st to the 82nd year of Yuan-Shou, Zhao Xing easily entered the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect there to be a core component of an Earth Realm Boat here?\" Zhao Xing looked carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rusted warship exterior turned into rolling mountains and rivers in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth vein fluctuations; this is a very profound kind of earth vein fluctuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, Zhao Xing judged that this was a component of a Boundary Star-level warship, and a core component at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Ji, I suggest you'd better change to something else to study; forget about this one.\" Zhao Xing turned back and said. \"What does the Grand Minister mean by this?\" Ji Gan was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This object is an item from beyond the heavens. If I am not mistaken, it should be the seat of an Earth-Profit faction Minister of Agriculture, named the Earth Realm Boat.\" Zhao Xing held the jade pendant in his hand and pointed at the rusted ship body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Approaching the Earth Realm Boat causes things to fall because the magic array inscribed on the warship possesses the effect of an earth vein, or perhaps its complete ship body once fused with a powerful earth vein.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is just one of its components, but it is also an independent, enclosed component.\" \"Even if you study it for billions of years, don't even think about cracking it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing retreated outside the fifty-meter range and returned to a distance that was not affected. \"Earth Realm Boat?\" Ji Gan and the two assistants were immediately half-believing and half-doubting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the two assistants; when Zhao Xing said they might not be able to crack it even in billions of years, a thought of not admitting defeat surged up. Although Zhao Xing is the Grand Minister of Agriculture, he is an outsider in the way of mechanisms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could an outsider dare to be so certain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ji Gan, you should know my experience.\" Zhao Xing said: \"Take my advice and don't waste your life on this.\" High-ranking officials have basically heard about Zhao Xing obtaining the inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not everyone knows the detailed content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people don't even know the three words 'Qing Yu Zi,' only knowing the three words 'Heavenly Guest,' just like reading a newsletter, only having a fragmentary understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Gan knew a little more; not only did he know Qing Yu Zi, but he also knew that Qing Yu Zi was a powerful Heavenly-Time faction Minister of Agriculture in the universe. So, Zhao Xing's words had high credibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earth Realm Boat, Earth Realm Boat...\" Ji Gan muttered to himself, \"Warship magic array, fusing an earth vein; what kind of craftsmanship must this be?\" Zhao Xing's words brought him a great shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ji Gan couldn't help but develop a strong desire: The universe is so big, I want to go see it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Minister, if it cannot be cracked by the way of mechanisms, is there any other way?\" Ji Gan asked, \"How much do you know about the Earth Realm Boat? Can you tell us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Gan is over six hundred years old, and his assistants are about the same. At this moment, they all looked like young students who had just started school, their eyes full of thirst for knowledge. Zhao Xing originally just wanted to take a look and leave; he was looking for the Great Dream Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, a dozen or so mechanism masters had gathered around, all staring at him with eager eyes. \"Alright, sit down first.\" Zhao Xing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, everyone come over and listen to the Grand Minister.\" Ji Gan immediately called everyone over, and they all sat on the ink barrels. Zhao Xing said: \"Then I'll just say a few words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later, Zhao Xing walked out of the Treasure Ship Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at everyone's reluctant gaze, Zhao Xing couldn't help but mutter in his heart: \"No wonder leaders like to hold big meetings, talking for hours at a time.\" \"Looking at these earnest gazes below, it's hard not to get addicted to holding meetings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Gan and the others weren't pretending, but it's hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be people elsewhere pretending to love listening. \"Must take this as a warning.\" Zhao Xing flew to the next location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Gan watched Zhao Xing leave, also feeling very emotional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and his colleagues all felt that their worldview had been refreshed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Zhao Xing was describing the Earth Realm Boat from the perspective of a user and experiencer, rather than a creator, that was enough to make them yearn for it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The lowest-level Earth Realm Boat is as big as a Pinghai Prefecture? The fused earth veins are all nineteen-prefecture-level earth veins?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Earth Realm Boat's defensive power is invincible; any attack will be twisted and offset by the power of the earth vein's origin. To think it could reach such a level!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if captured, one can board the Earth Realm Boat without bringing divine weapons? This is a huge advantage; it is truly a whimsical idea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ascension, I really want to ascend and go see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within these two hours, Ji Gan and the others had a deeply rooted impression of the Earth Realm Boat, and at the same time, the thought of ascension became increasingly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, when Wu Di said that the ancient divine dynasties broke through the void and ascended, many people felt it was just general talk. But in the two hours Zhao Xing spent talking to them, just describing the Earth Realm Boat was enough to make them believe that there really is a beautiful, magnificent world beyond the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking through the void and ascending is no longer a vague concept, but concrete benefits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ji Gan and the others listened to my two-hour lecture; I'm afraid they will become firm 'Ascension Party' members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn't in vain that I lectured for two hours on the universe version of the data pack.\" Zhao Xing recalled the expressions of Ji Gan and the others and couldn't help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why wouldn't he say that being the Grand Minister of Agriculture has many benefits? For this kind of effect, Wu Di shouting slogans for years is not as good as Master Zhao lecturing for two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having said that, the Profound Yellow World really has many treasures; components of the Earth Realm Boat have fallen in. I don't know how many things were ignored in the previous life.\" Zhao Xing thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a pity that it's just one component and can't fly at all. If it were a complete Earth Realm Boat, I could break through the boundary and ascend now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A complete Earth Realm Boat is, of course, a Boundary Star-level Dao Soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, looking at this component, it should have been wandering in the cosmic void for countless years before finally being captured by the origin of the Profound Yellow World and falling into this realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The universe is a dark ocean, and realms and stars are isolated islands. The void wind washes over the waves, rolling some things onto the islands. I'm afraid the Profound Yellow World has quite a few good things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the future, I must organize a team. Before ascending, I must thoroughly search the Profound Yellow World and bring more capital to explore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running to two halls, he found two good things, and the grade of the Earth Realm Boat was even at the Boundary Soldier level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although incomplete, it also proved that the Profound Yellow World has quite a few good things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After continuously looking at several treasure halls, Zhao Xing soon discovered the location of the Great Dream Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not placed inside the ten great treasure halls but stood in the [Palace-type] treasure area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is it.\" Zhao Xing landed and looked at the quaint palace in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its style is similar to the exterior of the Heavenly Craft Hall where the mechanism dharma beast Xie Zhi is located.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'One Dream Heaven and Earth' is its original name, belonging to the palace-type treasure category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this time, no one could enter it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the four sides of the palace, there were four smaller houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the rooms was filled with ancient books, all records concerning the Li Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hong Yuan, Chief Mechanism Master of the Imperial Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Li, Secondary Mechanism Master of the Imperial Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings to the Grand Minister of Agriculture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two more Life Palace realm mechanism masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two masters, please rise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing sized up Hong Yuan and Su Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuan's posture was upright, standing tall like a pine tree. He was wrapped in a long black robe, with complex and exquisite mechanism patterns embroidered on the robe with silver thread, the patterns flashing with a mysterious luster under the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair was as black as ink, neatly tied behind his head and fixed with a jade hairpin carved in the shape of a mechanism gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His facial contours were distinct, and under his high-bridged nose, his lips were slightly thin, giving people an impression of being reticent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Imperial Palace Chief, Hong Yuan had the highest status among the imperial craftsmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was responsible for the operation of the magic arrays throughout the imperial palace and was also responsible for designing the most important mechanism facilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuan was not originally studying this palace; he just received the news that the Grand Minister of Agriculture, Zhao Xing, had arrived at the Yuanfeng Treasury, so he hurried over to wait. The one truly responsible for the research was Su Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This female mechanism master was petite and exquisite, wearing a light purple gauze dress, her sleeves fluttering as if she were a fairy descending to earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gauze dress was dotted with small ornaments in the style of mechanism parts, and these ornaments made a slight clinking sound with her movements, adding a bit of liveliness to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair hung down on both sides of her shoulders like a waterfall, and a few exquisite small purple flowers were tucked into her hair, complementing her gauze dress. Her face was round and cute, with a pair of watery, large eyes. Her nose was small and straight, her lips were rosy, and when she smiled, two shallow dimples would appear, making people feel she was exceptionally sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhao Xing sized her up, she also curiously looked at this legendary figure among the Ministers of Agriculture. \"Grand Minister, I didn't expect you to be so good-looking.\" Su Li praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough... Su Li, do not be rude.\" Why did Hong Yuan come? This was the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of those who focus on studying mechanisms are relatively simple. He was afraid Su Li wouldn't be able to handle the social niceties; she rarely left the imperial palace. Who knew what Zhao Xing's temper was like? If she offended him, what would happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just telling the truth.\" Su Li said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, many thanks for the praise, Master Su.\" Zhao Xing did not think Su Li was deliberately flattering him. With his Soul Heavenly Vision, Su Li was in the early stage of the Life Palace realm; he could see what she was thinking at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Minister, why did you come here?\" Seeing that Zhao Xing was easy to talk to, Su Li asked another question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By rights, Hong Yuan was here, so how was it her place to ask? But she directly ignored Hong Yuan and just wanted to chat a few more words with the handsome Grand Minister!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I just came to take a look under His Majesty's orders. I heard that these are all treasures left behind by the Li Dynasty?\" Zhao Xing pointed to the surroundings and asked. \"Yes, there are many treasures from the Li Dynasty.\" Su Li said with a giggle: \"Shall I take you around?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I will trouble Master Su and Master Hong.\" Zhao Xing smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't in a hurry for this moment; since he was already here, he had to put on a show. If he discovered the secret of the Great Dream Academy immediately, it would be too excessive. Thus, under the guidance of Hong Yuan and Su Li, Zhao Xing wandered around the surrounding area for three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Zhao Xing found an excuse, wanting to look for a few more days, and stayed next to the 'One Dream Heaven and Earth' palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The room is full of records about the Li Dynasty, but there is no mention of how to enter 'One Dream Heaven and Earth'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm afraid it's because the Li Dynasty's ritual cultivators performed the Forget-Worry Method or cast a Silence Spell, so no records were passed down.\" Zhao Xing thought to himself. \"It's about time; I should go in. I'm the Grand Minister of Agriculture now, so I don't need to do too much disguising.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing drew a talisman, closed his eyes, and entered the interior of the Great Dream Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Dream Academy has two types of access permissions: one is like Zhao Xing's, which is soul-entry without the person, belonging to a 'tourist.' The second is to truly control the Great Dream Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the second method, one would have to ask the Heavenly Fate Mysterious Bird or find a way to control it from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Zhao Xing could also reveal the tourist entry method; with the abilities of Hong Yuan and Su Li, entering the interior and cooperating with external means, breaking the boundary would only be a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhao Xing still had to greet the Heavenly Fate Mysterious Bird in advance to avoid any accidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't remember the existence of a mechanism Heavenly Fate Mysterious Bird in the Great Zhou; perhaps I didn't know about it in my previous life, but it's also possible that the Heavenly Fate Mysterious Bird didn't survive.\" Zhao Xing thought, recalling the abnormality of the Heavenly Fate Mysterious Bird when they last met: \"Try to keep it alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing entered the interior of the Great Dream Academy again, appearing in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion as before. But this time, the feeling was completely different from the last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rule suppression is ineffective against me.\" Zhao Xing looked outside the door, \"I can go wherever I want now, without being restricted by checkpoints.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, everything seen outside the door was heavy fog, but now, everything was in full view! All the halls, mechanisms, and temples were exposed under the Soul Heavenly Vision!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ga-ga-ga-ga~\" A familiar sound rang out, and the Heavenly Fate Mysterious Bird flew down from the pavilion and landed on the cabinet. \"Zhao Xing, I thought you were dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",6996,"2026-06-17T16:13:11.118Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","271c722ab40f8110c532912c5dad76787204b0dcc7f4e451929abfb43256a547","shennong-dao-lord-chapter-335","shennong-dao-lord-chapter-333",666,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshennong-dao-lord-cover.jpg"]
