Chapter 366

The various regulations of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom perfectly illustrate one point: if farming can lead to wealth, then ordinary dynasties don't even have the qualifications to farm.

"The Ancient Kingdom's spiritual energy laws are too harsh, and population control is also very strict."

"I, Yun Tiandao, and Liu Tianning are all of little influence now; we simply cannot change this situation," Zhao Xing said. "Making a dynasty settle in a star system with a spiritual energy index exceeding 100 is not something we, as mere Ascension Realm cultivators, can control."

"To achieve this, the first way is to find a good teacher like Qing Yuzi. If the teacher is a Dao Domain Realm expert from a major power, then this is easily accomplished."

"The second way is to become a Third Realm expert yourself."

Zhao Xing said to Ji Che.

"I understand," Ji Che quickly calmed down. "It's just like when we were in the Profound Yellow World, where students would get into good Dao Academies or Imperial Colleges."

"Perhaps the Imperial College can help solve housing for family members, but it's impossible to solve it for an entire clan and let them move into the city."

Thinking about it carefully, the Purple Moon Prefecture Lord was already very benevolent.

He had truly helped the Great Zhou solve its housing problem, allowing them to live for free for ten thousand years on a world-star with a spiritual energy index of 20.

The Great Zhou's starting point was already much better than other dynasties!

You must know that even with the spiritual energy recovery, the spiritual energy index of the Profound Yellow World was only 5.

In a place like Star-Hail Pass, the spiritual energy index was only around 10.

Even in the Great Ye Dynasty, places with an index over 20, apart from the capital and other vital areas, were all considered 'barren.'

Furthermore, the Great Zhou didn't have to consider the risk of annihilation.

After all, within the Purple God Prefecture's territory, no one would come to attack them.

If it were any other emperor, they would truly be walking on thin ice, worrying every day that some bandit might jump out to kill them and swallow their dynasty.

Ji Che at least didn't have to worry about these problems; the only thing to consider was: how to earn money to support the family.

"Your Majesty, the few directions I provided earlier are the best ways for the Great Zhou to make a living at present," Zhao Xing said. "Native species—this is our most valuable asset. When trading externally, you must first clearly understand the 'Native Species Protection Law'."

"Our exclusive native species must never have their planting rights sold just because someone sweet-talked us."

"Those native species in the Profound Yellow World were not of high grade, but now that the place where we are settled has a spiritual energy index exceeding 20, they will continue to grow and eventually become a stable source of income for the Great Zhou."

"In addition, Yun Tiandao and I each have one hundred subsidiary quotas, which can allow talented officials of the Great Zhou to move freely between star systems."

"Being able to move freely means having the opportunity to grow."

"If we can't get into the Purple God Prefecture, we can pay respects to other powers."

"Once the number of Great Zhou's Origin Realm experts increases, we will have the capital for self-sufficiency."

"It can also alleviate future fiscal crises."

"Furthermore, your subject has also studied the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and the trade laws between various star systems these days, and I have thought of a few ways to make money, though they require further verification..."

Ji Che and his ministers listened quietly, recording every word of Zhao Xing, followed by a heated discussion on feasibility.

Yun Tiandao watched from the side, his expression dejected.

The Great Zhou had no problems with survival now; the only problem was being a bit poor, temporarily unable to let all citizens enjoy the treatment of Ancient Kingdom citizens.

Overall, the atmosphere here was still vibrant and full of hope.

But what about his Xia Dynasty?

Without a guide, Yun Tiandao could imagine the hardships and torture the Xia Dynasty had experienced.

After much suffering, it ultimately fell to the fate of being kept in captivity.

Zhao Xing noticed Yun Tiandao sitting alone on the side, appearing out of place with his surroundings, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

A Grand Minister of Agriculture should have been the helmsman of a dynasty in its early ascension period; with a Grand Minister of Agriculture present, many pitfalls could be avoided.

For example, the pitfalls of planting; even if one didn't know the regulations, a Grand Minister of Agriculture would definitely ask for clarification once they saw the plant's life structure was locked.

Furthermore, the Grand Minister of Agriculture is also a financial expert responsible for making money.

Yun Tiandao was undoubtedly a leader among them.

Yet the Xia Dynasty had left behind such a genius as Yun Tiandao.

If the Xia Dynasty could have brought Yun Tiandao along to ascend, perhaps the ending would have been different; at least in the second hundred thousand years, the Great Xia might have been able to establish a firm footing.

Discovering Yun Tiandao's mood, Zhao Xing immediately pulled him over: "Brother Yun, we are also your clansmen. The Ministers of Agriculture here, count them one by one, are all your disciples."

"Look, there is even one of your descendants here."

"That's right, Old Ancestor," Yun Ze walked over. "The descendants of the Yun clan don't know how proud they are; everyone takes pride in you."

"To think that you could be favored by big shots in the universe—such talent is truly unprecedented and will never be seen again!"

Yun Tiandao glanced at Yun Ze: "You brat, you even wanted to capture me back then. Did you think I couldn't see through your intentions?"

"Hmph, I really am blessed to have an unworthy descendant like you."

The smile on Yun Ze's face stiffened, and then he argued: "No, absolutely not. Old Ancestor, my reverence for you is like a surging river, like the overflowing Milky Way..."

"You really are a live treasure! Don't embarrass me," Yun Tiandao scolded.

"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

But no matter what, after Zhao Xing and Yun Ze's interference, Yun Tiandao's mood was finally no longer low.

Being able to scold people is a good thing!

Yun Tiandao and Zhao Xing each had one hundred subsidiary quotas, but they couldn't even use them up now.

Because the Great Zhou didn't even have 200 Ascension Realm experts now.

As for the Rule Realm? They couldn't even escape the binding force of a world-star, let alone move freely.

Therefore, the only people in the Great Zhou who could move freely between star systems were King Luohou, Ji Che, Ji Si, Dong Ze, Li Hao, and Qin Feng.

Lu Ying, Chen Ju, Liu Tianning, Ling Tianchen, and Qiu Yuanshan.

Mi Fu, Wei Hong, Hong Yuan (Royal Chief Mechanist), Yin Xiu, Palace Master Qitian, Xia Jing, Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, Ye Yukong, King Shenluo, and the Mist Walker.

The above were all the Ascension Realm experts of the Great Zhou. (Zi Gu had already been taken away by Tian Qi to the Tian Qi star system.)

Among them, Ji Che could not wander around; as the Emperor of Luck, he could not leave for too long, but others could find opportunities to venture out.

However, everyone had no intention of going out at this moment. As a high-level world-star, Qingyu World-Star could already satisfy their needs for cultivation, trading, and production. As long as one had money, one could buy anything on Qingyu World-Star.

There was even a 'World-Star Trading Market' here!

"Che, the things the Great Zhou can sell have already been tallied," Zhao Xing said, holding a list. "The assets mainly come from the accumulation of the Dragon Court, the Southern Barbarians, and the sects, the harvest from the ruins of the Western Extreme Continent, and the treasures identified in the Great Zhou's Ten Treasure Halls."

"How much money in total?" Ji Che asked expectantly.

"Preliminary estimate is 300 million Yuanhai coins," Zhao Xing said.

"Only 300 million?" Ji Che was somewhat disappointed.

There is no harm without comparison; the Purple God Prefecture gave Zhao Xing a reward of 500 million just like that!

"In order not to affect the normal operation of the Great Zhou, many things cannot be taken out for sale," Zhao Xing said. "For example, the Star Luck Strategy—this destiny-type world-star Dao weapon is very rare; it's best to keep it to cultivate our own Destiny Officials."

"The Great Dream Imperial College cannot be sold either; this is also a heavy weapon of the state."

"This is the value of things that can be sold without affecting the foundation of the Great Zhou."

If the entire Great Zhou were packaged and sold? Zhao Xing estimated it would be at least over 2 billion, based on the value of explored treasures.

There were still many unknown things in the Ten Great Treasure Vaults that were not easy to take out for identification; one doesn't fear thieves, but one fears thieves thinking about it.

It was better to let the Great Zhou's craftsmen grow up first and learn the technology before cracking them; that was safer.

The value of the entire Great Zhou now was not expensive, just a mere 2 billion; this was after scouring the entire Profound Yellow World.

If one said it wasn't expensive, 2 billion for an individual, even for a Second Realm Origin expert, was a huge sum.

This was still a cheap sale price; if the Great Zhou's survival world-boat were captured intact and then kept in captivity to slowly produce value, it could yield more returns in the future.

"300 million is not a small amount for an individual, but it is still too little, too little for a country," Ji Che sighed. "Big Brother, how do you think this sum of money should be arranged?"

Zhao Xing pondered: "We don't need to consider safety issues, and we don't need to purchase a large amount of military force and weapons to arm ourselves in the early stages like other ascending dynasties."

"Therefore, it is best to use all this money to cultivate talent."

"Top-tier experts are the foundation of standing firm."

Ji Che nodded: "I think so too."

"But this money cannot be used up entirely; we must leave some reserves."

"Yes," Zhao Xing nodded.

The Great Zhou's finances for the next few hundred years would definitely be in a state of deficit; rent and taxes were the major items.

The Purple God Prefecture clearing out a world-star for them to live in for ten thousand years was not giving the world-star away for free; giving a world-star away meant accepting the Great Zhou as a member of the Purple God Prefecture.

Therefore, it could only be rented, rented at the lowest price.

The price per hundred years was 10 million Yuanhai coins; this price was almost like giving it away for free.

In the prosperous commercial hinterland of a high-level star system, the price of renting out a world-star was 100, 00 a year; if that's not giving it away for free, what is?

But even so, the Great Zhou might not necessarily be able to afford it; if they didn't work hard to develop and save money, they would face the risk of bankruptcy in a thousand years.

Live for ten thousand years? If you don't work hard, it really won't work.

"I plan to purchase a batch of cultivation techniques for the Great Zhou, mainly methods for cultivating to the Origin Realm."

"The first batch of Ascension Realm experts in the Great Zhou have good aptitude; there's no need to buy extra cultivation resources. As subsidiary members, just living on Qingyu World-Star is enough for their cultivation," Zhao Xing said.

A formal member of the Purple God Prefecture being able to give one hundred subsidiary quotas was already an extra grace from the Purple Moon Prefecture Lord.

Normally, a formal member only had twenty subsidiary quotas. The Purple Moon Prefecture Lord had increased it fivefold for both him and Yun Tiandao, which provided convenience for the Great Zhou.

Subsidiary members could live on Qingyu World-Star with Zhao Xing; the spiritual energy index here exceeded 100!

With enough talent, they could fully break through to the Origin Realm!

"The price of a single copy of a cultivation technique to break through to the Origin Realm is not expensive; the main cost is buying multiple copies."

"As many people as are cultivating, that many copies must be bought; secretly cultivating unauthorized secret techniques is also illegal," Zhao Xing said.

"However, we only have twenty-something people now, so the cost of the first batch of techniques will be around 1 million to 2 million."

Ji Che had no objections to this: "Big Brother, you are the Grand Minister of Agriculture; you can handle this matter entirely."

"Spend money where it should be spent; as long as it can accelerate cultivation, it doesn't matter if we spend a little more."

"Big Brother, although the time I spent on the Star of Hope was short, it was only half a month. But in that half month, all the citizens were trembling with fear."

"Not long after you left, Lu Ying observed the Star-Hail Pass's Star Patrol Guards capturing two batches of people on a nearby planet!"

"Thinking about it now, that was just a team of First Realm Origin experts, and they easily annihilated two ascending powers."

"The closest time, that team was only 100, 00 miles away from us, almost brushing past us!"

"When that flying boat approached, I was thinking at that time, am I going to be a king of a fallen nation?"

"Fortunately, the Great Ye Dynasty's Star Patrol Guards didn't discover us that time."

"The second time, it was when you sent people over; at that time, I was truly desperate," Ji Che felt a sense of palpitations when recalling it now. "At that time, no one expected that you, Big Brother, could send people so quickly; everyone was prepared for a death battle."

"I even ordered the Grand Minister of Industry, Lu Ying, to prepare to detonate the Sun-Moon Palace and the Juzi Palace, to perish together with the enemy!"

Looking at Ji Che's excited face, Zhao Xing only then realized what kind of psychological journey Ji Che and the others had experienced.

They hadn't shown it before because someone was always watching!

Only at this moment, with no one around, did Ji Che reveal a trace of fear.

He couldn't help but comfort him: "Che, everything is in the past; we will get better and better."

…………

On the day after selling part of the assets on Qingyu World-Star and converting them into cash, Zhao Xing took people to the 【Yuanhai Hall】 in the Tianming Capital to purchase techniques.

"The Yuanhai Hall was established by the royal family of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom. In the territory of the Ancient Kingdom, any high-level world-star has a royal Yuanhai Hall."

"It is equivalent to a royal manor, selling everything; techniques, secret skills, equipment, and even world-stars can be bought here."

"It can also store funds, which can be deposited and withdrawn throughout the entire Ancient Kingdom."

"Anything involving property rights transactions cannot bypass the Yuanhai Hall; even if you buy or sell world-stars or star lands through other powers, you must eventually come to the Yuanhai Hall to register."

The Yuanhai Hall occupied a separate piece of land on Qingyu World-Star, roughly equivalent to the size of a province in the Profound Yellow World.

After Zhao Xing and his party arrived at the Yuanhai Hall's territory by flying boat, a mechanical puppet immediately flew over to receive them.

"Purple God Prefecture formal member Zhao Xing, welcome to the Yuanhai Hall. I am the artifact spirit here, Yuan Forty-Six."

"You can conduct any legal transactions, as well as deposit and loan businesses, in the Yuanhai Hall."

"If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Yuan Forty-Six was no different from a real person; she had the appearance of a young woman, gentle and moving.

Lu Ying, Chen Ju, and King Shenluo's eyes went straight when they saw her, as did Xia Jing, who liked collecting mechanical puppets the most.

"I want to purchase techniques," Zhao Xing said. "Please take me to the Technique Hall."

"Okay, please follow me," Yuan Forty-Six immediately led the flying boat to a magnificent and tall sword-shaped building.

"The Technique Hall contains all the techniques publicly and privately sold by the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom," Yuan Forty-Six introduced.

"Privately sold? What does that mean?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Some techniques cannot be purchased even if you have money; you must possess certain qualifications," Yuan Forty-Six said.

"Some techniques require joining the corresponding power. Some techniques set learning thresholds, for example, one must have ascended within a thousand years to learn them."

"Of course, you are a formal member of the Purple God Prefecture, so even for privately sold techniques, you have the opportunity to purchase them."

"Limited-sale techniques and secret skills are not discrimination, but a form of protection," Yuan Forty-Six explained.

"For example, the classic secret method of martial arts, the Void Ancestor Golden Body—according to the research of countless sages, if a martial artist who did not reach the Ascension Realm within a thousand years practices the Void Ancestor Golden Body, even if it is the Three Yang Golden Body of the lower three chapters, they will not achieve anything."

"Promoting the Void Ancestor Golden Body method to such people with insufficient aptitude is harming them; the Ancient Kingdom will not earn such money."

"This is the technique grading system."

The people of the Great Zhou were almost moved by the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom; you actually know that leeks shouldn't be harvested right down to the roots.

"May I ask what type of techniques you would like to purchase?" Yuan Forty-Six asked.

"Martial artist, priest, destiny master, mechanist, and minister of agriculture," Zhao Xing said.

He wanted to buy all the cultivation methods for the minister of agriculture.

Because although the Purple God Prefecture provided him with cultivation secret methods for free, the Purple Moon Prefecture Lord was of the Heavenly Timing School, and the Purple God Prefecture was also dominated by the Heavenly Timing School; the rest had to be bought separately.

"Please follow me."

Yuan Forty-Six specifically provided a quiet hall for Zhao Xing.

The hall was equipped with a dedicated person to explain, as well as demonstration clips after the techniques were mastered.

"The classic cultivation method of martial arts, the Qi Sect flow definitely goes for the Void Ancestor Golden Body. For the First Realm cultivation method, if you want to buy the complete Three Yang chapters, just the first layer costs 900, 00; it's damn expensive."

It cost 900, 00 for just one person!

Of course, if you buy more, there is a discount for three or more people, but at most, it's a 20% discount.

"It's truly dark," Zhao Xing sighed. The Void Ancestor Golden Body cultivation method, besides the secret method diagram, also came with some body-refining resources.

However, from Master Zhao's perspective, the production cost of these resources was very low, at most not exceeding 50, 00.

As for the secret method diagram, it could be infinitely copied, and the cost would not exceed 10, 00.

Things worth 60, 00 were being sold for 900, 00; even with a group purchase discount, it was still 720, 00!

"No wonder Nalan De couldn't afford it back then."

There was no way around it; money that should be spent must be spent.

Xia Jing, Li Hao, Dong Ze, and Qitian. These four Ascension Realm martial artists of the Great Zhou were of the Qi Sect flow.

If you want to buy, you have to do it all at once; over 3 million was paid out immediately.

"Long Xiao, Ye Yukong, and King Luohou are all of the Sword Sect flow; Sword Sect techniques are even rarer," Zhao Xing looked at Yuan Forty-Six's recommendation. "There are only two suitable ones to choose from: one is 'Extreme Star Sword Dao', and the other is 'Great Zhou Heaven Sword Body'."

The two methods were not much different, and in the end, all three chose the Great Zhou Heaven Sword Body.

The way of choosing was somewhat metaphysical, because the name contained the two characters 'Great Zhou'.

These three people cost another 900, 00.

Please... you... collect_()

Three types of mechanist methods were chosen.

One was 'World-Star Weapon Forging Method', which was the forging flow. If the Great Zhou wants to develop, it cannot rely solely on farming; it must learn some technology.

Perhaps you can't see the returns now, but if you can forge world-star weapons in the future, you can still make money.

Cultivating a blacksmith who can forge world-star weapons would put the Great Zhou on the right track.

This technique was not expensive; after all, above world-star Dao weapons, there were Sun, Moon, and Origin Divine Weapons.

The second was 'Ten Thousand Form Dao Weapon', the Dao Weapon flow, mainly controlling small and medium-sized mechanical puppets.

The third was 'Great Luo Heaven Weapon', the Shenluo flow, mainly controlling large and super-large mechanical battle armors and fortresses.

Lu Ying, Chen Ju, and King Shenluo—another 600, 00 was spent.

"When you really start buying, it feels like you can't stop," Zhao Xing muttered. The original budget was 1 to 2 million, and now it had exceeded by double.

Next was the spells of the Destiny Official.

Since Ji Si was the only Ascension Realm Destiny Official, only one copy needed to be bought, but this was also the top priority.

Because Ji Si possessed the 【Star Luck Strategy】, buying weak techniques would be a waste.

Besides, the Destiny Official himself had no enhancements; if you didn't spend money on techniques, it would be better to just scrap the profession of Destiny Official.

Ji Si had talent!

Zhao Xing couldn't bear to scrap him, so he could only spend money again.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I think it's better to choose this 'Ma Yi Divine Physiognomy' method," Ji Si was very considerate and chose a very cheap one.

'Ma Yi Divine Physiognomy' only cost 100, 00 Yuanhai coins, which was considered the lowest grade among them.

Zhao Xing sneered when he saw it: "What kind of trash technique is this, and it's worthy of our great Destiny Official to practice?"

"Others can buy secondary ones, but you must buy the most expensive one; otherwise, it's better not to buy anything at all."

Yuan Forty-Six also said: "Indeed, the way of destiny is not just about putting in effort."

Zhao Xing asked: "What is the best technique here?"

Yuan Forty-Six said: "That would be the 'Wheel of Destiny'; it can be practiced all the way to the Reincarnation Realm. However, the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom does not have the method for the Reincarnation Realm layer, nor is it publicly sold; it goes up to the Third Realm at most."

"That's enough," Zhao Xing looked at the brief description of the 'Wheel of Destiny'.

【This technique is an ancient taboo art, rumored to originate from the mysterious revelation in the depths of the River of Destiny.】

【Only those with peerless talent, firm mind, and who have experienced countless hardships have the opportunity to touch it.】

【Its path of cultivation is difficult and dangerous, full of countless tests and variables; one slight mistake will lead to eternal damnation, but once mastered, one can control the power of destiny and become a supreme existence that transcends life and death, dominating the destiny of the world.】

The introduction of the technique was very tempting; as for the actual effect, that was another matter.

However, Zhao Xing had heard of this technique, and it was indeed good.

"Initial Realm, Destiny Pattern Inscription, Destiny Wheel first appears."

"Void Realm, Destiny Wheel expands, Destiny Silk can control a world."

"Supernatural Realm, Eye of Destiny, Destiny Judgment, Destiny Retrospection."

"It is rumored that upon reaching the Reincarnation Realm, one can also perform Destiny Rewriting, which can allow a person with low luck to steal high-level luck."

"Ji Si has this; maybe he can save his life with it in the future," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

In short, buy the First Realm technique first to try it out.

"How much money?"

"1. million, no discount for buying more," Yuan Forty-Six said.

"Bought!" Zhao Xing waved his hand and paid immediately.

The method Ji Si bought, just the first layer, was directly pulled to the million-level price.

He himself was startled: "Grand Minister of Agriculture, I this..."

"What are you afraid of? Once you rise in the future, you'll earn this money back easily," Zhao Xing laughed.

A Destiny Official is indispensable for the long-term development of a dynasty.

For an individual, everyone wants to be friends with a Destiny Official who has mastered cultivation.

Such a friend can truly block a disaster at a critical moment!

After Ji Si finished buying, the budget was directly exceeded.

And this was without buying for the Minister of Agriculture and the Priest.

"Let's look at the Priest's first."

"The method for the Minister of Agriculture is not urgent for now," Zhao Xing said.

Although he, Yun Tiandao, and Liu Tianning could not teach it to others, they were not in a hurry, because the Purple God Prefecture provided it; it was just not as complete for Zhao Xing.

"Hmm. The Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom actually has so many cultivation methods for the Priest's path?" Zhao Xing scanned it roughly, and then felt somewhat surprised in his heart.

"The number of techniques is small, but there are actually over 300, 00 secret arts?"

"Why do I remember that the Priest's path was not prosperous in my previous life? This doesn't look like a decline," Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled.

"Could it be that in just over two thousand years, the Priest's path has declined? Is this time node stuck at the time of a version change?"

Zhao Xing began to look carefully.

Although there were many Priest methods at this time, there were only a few types of techniques.

Mainly because in the legends of the entire Xuanling Star Region, there were only twelve gods.

"'Twelve God Sacrifice Method', contains four gods of martial arts, three gods of agriculture, three gods of mechanics, one god of soul, and one god of medicine."

"Among them, besides the martial arts god Void Ancestor, agriculture god Houji, and mechanics god Jieluo that I have heard of, why haven't I heard of the other names?" Zhao Xing frowned.

"Di Yi among the martial arts gods, the bone god 'Yuan'—who are these? The heavenly god 'Guxiao' and earth god 'Yao Jun' among the agriculture gods—who are they?"

He hadn't heard of other gods, but he wouldn't forget the agriculture gods!

Zhao Xing's brow twitched constantly; he felt that he seemed to have forgotten some key memory.

His brain began to frantically screen the memory palace, and finally saw a big door in the depths of his memory.

In front of the door was a lamp, a dog, a chicken, a rice mountain, and a flour mountain.

"Hmm? Did I seal this myself?" Zhao Xing understood immediately upon seeing this familiar configuration.

"It seems that some things are wrong even to think about, so I sealed certain memories in advance," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "This is to warn myself not to investigate, and never to unseal them until reaching a certain realm."

If it reached such a level, involving such a high realm, then there was simply no room for maneuver.

Even more, don't dream of benefiting from it; if you encounter this, just run.

"Since I chose to seal it, there must be a reason," Zhao Xing did not choose to break the seal, because he knew his own nature well; if the cost wasn't high, he would definitely open the seal to take a look.

Therefore, the cost of breaking the seal of this memory palace was very high, the kind that would definitely cause injury.

"It's not necessary; even if I look at it, I'll have to seal it again. Just follow the original idea and avoid it."

Zhao Xing silently wrote down these names and decided in his heart to avoid such related events.

Yuan Forty-Six in front was still explaining.

According to Yuan Forty-Six.

The twelve gods were god-level beings that once appeared in the Xuanling Star Region, but now there were no god-level beings in the Xuanling Star Region; the Reincarnation Realm was the highest combat power.

And in fact, what was being sacrificed to were the descendants of the twelve gods, which were those Reincarnation Realm experts.

"The era of the twelve ancient gods is too long ago; it is rumored that they went to explore the unknown universe."

"They left behind a batch of ancient god descendants."

"The ancient god descendants became Reincarnation Realm experts and still inherited the great power of some god realms."

"After they died, the miracles they left behind still influenced the entire star region; priests could get guidance from the gods through sacrificing to the ancient god descendants and conduct deep-level cultivation..."

Wei Hong listened quite excitedly; originally he had heard Zhao Xing say that the Priest's path in the universe had declined, but looking at it now, it couldn't be counted as such.

"It seems that Qing Yuzi didn't foresee everything either; at least on this point, he misled the Grand Minister of Agriculture and also misled me," Wei Hong thought to himself.

However, he could express understanding; Qing Yuzi had after all left human civilization for 1. epochs, over a million years, anything could happen.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture," Wei Hong looked at Zhao Xing, quite moved.

Zhao Xing vaguely felt that there was a pit here, but it was not easy to refuse; after all, it was not easy for Wei Hong to see hope.

And besides the 'Twelve God Sacrifice Method', the rest could at most be practiced to the Second Realm of Origin; there were very few Priest methods for the Third Realm.

Let alone becoming a Reincarnation Priest.

"Would you like to consider something else?" Out of instinct, Zhao Xing still persuaded him, although he knew it was useless.

Wei Hong thought Zhao Xing felt this technique was expensive; after all, they had already exceeded the budget by quite a bit.

He couldn't help but say cautiously: "Grand Minister of Agriculture, although this method is a bit expensive, it has no limitations."

"According to Yuan Forty-Six, the footprints of the twelve ancient gods once covered the universe's void, influencing every origin."

"I can comprehend the Origin Dao by sacrificing to the descendants of these ancient gods no matter where I practice in the Xuanling Star Region."

"If you are worried, I can buy the Void Ancestor God Sacrifice Method first and try it out; this only costs 200, 00 Yuanhai coins."

Zhao Xing could not refuse Wei Hong's eager eyes, so he could only nod: "Okay, then let's buy the first layer of 'Void Ancestor God Sacrifice' and try it."

Zhao Xing knew about the god-level being Void Ancestor; since it wasn't sealed by his memory, it proved that it was relatively safe. At least the danger coefficient wasn't that high.

"Thank you, Grand Minister of Agriculture," Wei Hong bowed.

Zhao Xing then looked at other secret methods.

That uncomfortable feeling disappeared immediately.

"Sure enough, there is a pit," Zhao Xing suppressed the thoughts in his mind and began to browse the secret methods of his own profession.

He mainly looked at the Earthly Benefit Method and the Self-School.

"The most expensive Earthly Benefit School technique is called 'Extreme Land'; only one layer has been passed down, and its creator comes from the Ancient Hill," Yuan Forty-Six introduced.

"'Extreme Land' has a learning threshold; we generally don't sell it to practitioners with ordinary aptitude."

"The first layer is divided into three stages."

"Gathering Spirit into Veins."

"Guiding Veins into the Body."

"Extreme Veins First Formed."

"The 'veins' here refer to earth veins, and they are world-star level earth veins."

"Once the complete first layer is mastered, one can apply to enter the Ancient Hill to study."

"In addition, the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom will refund all expenses incurred in practicing it, and will bear all tuition fees for 'Extreme Land' practitioners in the Ancient Hill, providing generous bonuses."

Once these words were spoken, even Yun Tiandao and Liu Tianning, who were not of the Earthly Benefit School, were moved.

Undoubtedly, the Ancient Hill was a super power.

This power alone could rival the entire Wasteland Ancient Kingdom Alliance.

And the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom was just one of the 100, 00 ancient kingdoms.

For an ancient kingdom, whoever could master the first layer of 'Extreme Land' meant they had obtained a ticket to enter the 【Ancient Hill】.

If such a super genius was born in their own country, they must cultivate them with all their might.

Not only would all expenses incurred in practicing 'Extreme Land' be refunded, but they would also give a lot of money to send the genius to the Ancient Hill.

The first layer of 'Extreme Land', placed in major ancient kingdoms, was for screening talent!

"How much does it cost to buy it?" Zhao Xing asked.

"One hundred million," Yuan Forty-Six said something shocking.

"10 million is for cultivation resources; wanting to accommodate earth veins into the body is a very dangerous thing. This is the 【Basic Survival Guarantee】 needed for cultivation; without it, the mortality rate is as high as 99%."

"The other 90 million includes the right to use three special cultivation venues provided by the Ancient Kingdom. These were specially built for Ministers of Agriculture practicing 'Extreme Land', and the construction cost is expensive."

"If you haven't mastered it after three times, it will cost 30 million every time you go in."

"May I ask, how many people in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom have mastered the first layer of 'Extreme Land'?" Yun Tiandao asked curiously.

"This is classified data," Yuan Forty-Six smiled. "You have no right to know."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly upon hearing this: "The Empire really doesn't cheat the money of the poor."

He knew a piece of data, which was that the probability of mastering the first layer of 'Extreme Land' in the ancient kingdom would not exceed 10 people in an epoch.

But the number of people buying it exceeded one million every year.

From the Ascension Realm to the Third Realm, you can enter once you master it; there is no age requirement, no realm requirement.

Even if you only practice half of 'Extreme Land', there are great benefits, so it attracts many people to learn.

Just looking at this data, major ancient kingdoms make a huge profit from the attractiveness of 'Extreme Land' alone.

However, 'Extreme Land' really doesn't harvest the leeks of the poor; its pricing has discouraged many poor practitioners.
