Shennong Sequence

Chapter 109: Witch Sequence 9 Witch Doctor, Earth Vein Illusion Array (5000 Subscriptions Requested)
Just thinking about it is impossible! Zhao Yun remembered the words "Niu Baihu" firmly in his mind.

If it weren't for him, Zhao Yun might have been one of those little soldiers who trained day and night!
By then, when the barbarians invade and break through the barrier, if they eat a Taoist pill from a military strategist, they will be directly dragged to the battlefield. Even if they hold a ceremony to enter the Tao, they will be promised the calamity of indiscriminate killing!

At that time, if one can survive the fight between thousands of troops where all beings are equal, then one has naturally survived all the disasters;

For those who cannot survive, it is their fate. They will be doomed to be reduced to ashes.

So, in a sense, it was Captain Niu who allowed Zhao Yun to get into logistics, start raising horses under the name of Master Sun, and then learn the art of spiritualism.

Zhao Yun's talent for learning psychic arts quickly earned him the attention of Master Sun, who accepted him as his apprentice. He then began to experience good fortune, such as seeing a celestial fox while herding, obtaining a top-grade Daoist elixir, and obtaining a precious blood-sucking vine as a ritual spiritual plant.
Afterwards, Zhao Yun held a farmer's initiation ceremony and entered the ninth-level farmer. He then obtained magic skills and military farming orders, and so on. Step by step, he climbed up the ladder and things got better and better!
The relationship between cause and effect may be mysterious.

But even so, in Zhao Yun's heart, he had no gratitude towards Captain Niu.

On the contrary, if the two people met, they would be like enemies meeting each other, with jealousy in their eyes.

So at this moment, when Zhao Yun heard from Master Sun that Captain Niu was implicated in certain things, he felt a sense of joy in his heart, but he did not show it directly.

In addition, there has been only one major event recently in Wuyang Guard Station and the entire Yanshan County. That is, the barbarians have laid a secret here, intending to successfully break through the pass before the arrival of winter. With the pressure of the barbarian soldiers, they will go straight into Beiliangzhou, first take Yumen Prefecture, then enter Yanshan County, and then break through Yanmen Pass from the inside... The troops are pointing to the prosperous land of Middle-earth, the heart of the Great Zhou.

Such a plan of the barbarians is quite large.

So this was the only major incident that Niu Baihu was implicated in.

Anyone implicated in this major incident can basically only atone for their sin by death.

So, the somewhat obscure meaning of what Master Sun just said is that this Captain Niu has already met with disaster and will surely die without a burial place.

When Zhao Yun understood this, he felt a little sad in his heart.

However, the death of Captain Niu was also a good thing for him. At least there would be one less powerful enemy lurking around him in the future.

So Zhao Yun simply skipped over the matter of Captain Niu and instead talked about his own tribulations when he entered the Tao.

"Master, when I was about to come back in the afternoon, I felt a sense of freedom and liberation, as if a layer of haze in my heart had dissipated, and my mind became much purer. At that time, I knew that the calamity of entering the Tao was completely far away from me."

Sun Zhengxuan took a sip of tea and said, "Well, that barbarian cultivator died, and that Niu Baihu also died in prison, so I thought I'd ask you one last question to confirm this matter."

"Now that the disaster has been resolved, you should quickly finish the matter in the long valley. You will then need to deal with the You King, the Flying Bear Legion, and many other people who bring the imperial edict."

"And if you are rewarded, you will have many resources for cultivation. From now on, you should study the techniques well in the garrison, or go to the Sinong Supervisor in Yanshan County to study attentively."

"At the same time, there are many tasks related to farming in the Ministry of Agriculture. You can also take some of them. You can earn money and resources at the same time. It is also a good way to verify your cultivation..."

"Yes, Master." Zhao Yun agreed.

Moreover, Zhao Yun also felt that after listening to Master Sun's words, his understanding of the future path became much clearer.

At least there is a way to move forward and continue to climb up.

Sometimes, choosing the right path is much better than groping in the vastness.

In other words, in some situations, choice is always more important than effort.

Zhao Yun said, "Master, has our blood crystal wheat arrived yet? I have to find time to plant some tomorrow. Otherwise, in a few days, the weather will get really cold, and it will be difficult to farm."

Sun Zhengxuan stood up and said:
"The spiritual seeds of the blood crystal wheat have arrived, but the germination of the blood crystal wheat still requires some spiritual blood to help it germinate, so you can't just plant it in the blood field."

"It just so happens that I also promised that after you pass the Daoist Tribulation, you can choose a Wind Chasing Horse. I will consider it as the horse I bought from the guard post for you."

"When the time comes, we will use the spiritual blood of the horse we choose to assist in the germination of the blood crystal wheat."

Every spiritual plant's spiritual seed has a different growth environment, so the germination of various spiritual seeds is also different.

Therefore, even using the panacea method of infusing spiritual seeds with earth energy to promote germination is only suitable for most people.

Obviously, the blood crystal wheat that Zhao Yun was about to plant was not among them.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask, "How much spiritual blood must be put in to make the blood essence veins begin to sprout?"

Moreover, Zhao Yun took the young mare away and then let someone bleed, so she probably needs some comfort, right?

If she really had to bleed too much, the mare wouldn't be able to bear it, and he couldn't bear to do that.

Sun Zhengxuan said with a smile: "Not much, as long as the blood volume can cover the blood crystal wheat, it will be enough."

Then Sun Zhengxuan took out a small sack from under the table and placed it on the table.

When Zhao Yun saw this, he felt panicked.

There were enough spiritual seeds of the blood crystal wheat to fill a whole basin!
If a basin of blood was poured down from the mare, the mare would fall to the ground.

"Master, there is so much blood crystal wheat. I'm afraid that just putting in the blood of a Wind Chaser may not be enough. How about..." Zhao Yun coughed slightly and continued, "How about letting the Wind Chaser horses in the stable contribute a little bit. In this way, we can share the amount and get blood more easily, right?"

Sun Zhengxuan laughed and scolded, "You are dreaming. If it doesn't work in one go, you can do it a few more times. Anyway, the blood crystal wheat is not afraid of freezing. You can plant it whenever you can stimulate it to sprout. So take your time."

Well, there was no other way, Zhao Yun had to collect the blood crystal wheat seeds first.

Then there was another problem in the process of adopting this little mare.

That is, there was no special stable in Zhao Yun's yard, nor was there any special food for the young mares.

In addition, Zhao Yun himself eats in the kitchen of this garrison every day.

There was no way she could light a fire and cook for the filly alone.

So the question of how to place the filly is a bit troublesome.

Zhao Yun said, "Master, I will choose that little mare. However, the pony still needs to be kept in the stable. Otherwise, my little yard will be in chaos."

Sun Zhengxuan also smiled and said, "Okay, the mare can continue to be kept in the stable.

However, I will give you the cost of raising the horses, which is 100 taels of silver per month. And I have underestimated it. Think about the rare medicinal resources that feed the horses..."

What can Zhao Yun say?
He himself had raised these wind-chasing horses, and he would add large amounts of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonatum sibiricum, etc. to the food that the horses fed and the medicine they drank in the morning and evening.

It's more refined and better than what humans eat!

If he simply calculated the cost himself, he would know that it was frighteningly high.

Otherwise, Hua Xiaonian, the warden of the No. 2 fat pig prison, always said that the assets of a horse prison that raises dozens of horses are several times the assets of a fat pig prison that raises thousands of fat pigs!
Of course, the Wind Chaser is not only a famous horse but also a rare beast...

So there is no other way. Since the horse is wanted, I can only pay money to raise it with tears.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun felt that he was a little short of money.

I didn't do anything, but the expenses in life one by one can empty my savings.

So make money!
We have to find a way to get some resources, make some money, and raise a pony.

Then, Zhao Yun placed the two cracked wood carvings and the intact wood carving on the table. "Master, when I killed the Eagle Messenger, I took out this intact wood carving from her body. The other two cracked wood carvings were obtained when they tried to ambush me in secret.

Take a look at what this thing is and how to use it. "

Sun Zhengxuan picked up the wood carving, examined it for a moment, and thought of something, so he began to describe it:

"This thing should be a witch's Sequence 9. The witch doctor used witch medicine to melt the blood, flesh, essence, souls, etc. of some slaves together and infused them into the wood."

"Then use this human essence to write some spells within the wood's texture to refine the resulting substitute puppet."

"Although the refining process is bloody, it is indeed a good thing."

"But since those two have been broken, they have naturally lost their effectiveness."

"This one is intact. To use it, drip your own blood on it and rub it with your skin. After the wood sculpture absorbs your blood completely, it will generate its own induction. When you want to use it, infuse it with mana, and it will naturally become like you."

"Of course, this thing has a limited number of uses. It should be able to be used two or three times before it breaks like the other two. Therefore, you just need to be careful when using it."

Zhao Yun picked up the substitute puppet on the table and took a good look at it. The surface was indeed the texture of wood, and there was no bloody scene as his master had just described.

However, it is precisely because Zhao Yun only looked at the surface and did not think deeply or experience it, so it is normal that he does not recognize the bloodiness of such objects.

"Master is really knowledgeable."

Zhao Yun praised, and then put the three substitute puppets into the door key space.

The other two broken substitute puppets were thrown directly by Zhao Yun to the side of the blood-sucking vine.

Zhao Yun controlled the blood-sucking vine through its spiritual power. The blood-colored roots surged out from the soil and surrounded the two broken substitute puppets as they expanded and contracted. Drops of blood broke out from them.

"It looks like a piece of wood, but it has a bloody interior. It seems that this witch order is not a peaceful faction."

Zhao Yun thought so in his heart, and then asked:

"Master, I was quite touched when I learned the first 'Earth' rune a few days ago."

"Then I mobilized some of the earth veins under the field and pieced together the shape and charm of the 'Earth' rune in the book of 365 runes you gave me. Finally, I pieced together an incomplete 'Earth' rune."

"After the earth energy flowed through the earth vein runes, some special effects were produced. When I went to see that field this morning, the growth rate of the wheat seedlings there was many times faster than that of other wheat seedlings."

"In just two or three days, the wheat seedlings have grown to the height of a finger. Moreover, the effect of this growth-promoting effect is not temporary, but continuous and long-lasting."

"So, I want to ask you if you have any methods to form these earth veins into arrays. I, your disciple, want to learn more about it..."

Previously, when Zhao Yun was the commander of the military farms, Sun Zhengxuan said that the techniques of the time and people faction could only be provided here, but as for the various techniques of the geographical faction, as long as Zhao Yun could learn them, he, as a master, would continue to provide them until he himself did not have enough!
Sun Zhengxuan sat there and thought for a while, then looked at Zhao Yun with a strange expression.

"Tell me the truth, Master. To what extent did the earth's energy nourish your enlightenment that you could move the earth veins over such a large area and eventually twist them into a rune? You should know that ordinary people can only move the earth veins slightly even if they practice until they are old."

Zhao Yun thought about it, and the realm of his cultivation of the earth-nourishing technique, according to the marking on the yellow cloth, was the mastery realm.

Moreover, in this world, there are also divisions of the realms of practicing magic such as entry level, entry level, skilled, proficient, minor success, major success, and perfection.

Among them, except for entering the ninth level from mortals, there is a hard condition in the promotion ceremony of all subsequent sequence levels, which is to cultivate two techniques of the corresponding sequence level to perfection!
Zhao Yun replied, "Master, after my enlightenment, my earth energy has made extraordinary progress. I have quickly progressed from the entry level to the current mastery level, so I can slightly move the earth veins under the field.

Moreover, it took me half a day to successfully move the earth vein. It shouldn't be too fast, right?"

"Ugh!"

Sun Zhengxuan sighed in surprise and helplessness:
"You are really fast in practicing the magic of this Dili faction."

"You should know that although my current cultivation level is that of a Sequence Eighth Cultivation Field Master, I have already met many of the conditions for holding the ceremony. However, the only thing that has troubled me for decades is the practice of the technique. I have always been lacking a technique and have not reached perfection..."

“However, I am now close to entering the realm of Sequence 7 Nature Master.”

"As long as I gather all the materials needed for the ritual, as well as the materials for the Daotong Pills of Qi-training Sequences 8 to 7, and find an alchemist to refine them, I can basically enter the realm of cultivation of Sequence 7."

"However, even when I was moving the earth veins, it still took a lot of effort. You were able to move the earth veins continuously within half a day and form an incomplete 'earth' rune, which is not bad, and it is quite good!"

"Your talent is such that it's not too much of a compliment to call you a genius of your generation!"

"You want to study the magic ability of the earth vein formation, and I can teach you."

"Let me teach you first. Use the earth veins to create an illusion array. Then, you can use this illusion array to set up the area outside the blood field. Then, the blood field will disappear in the world of ordinary people and ordinary beasts. When you have gained something, come to me for the next step."

"Yeah." Zhao Yun was praised by Master Sun.

But he did not become complacent.

The reason why he has achieved what he has today is indeed due to his extraordinary understanding.

But the yellow cloth also deserves some credit.

Sun Zhengxuan stood up and searched in the bookcase. This time, he did not give a true intention of learning the magic array technique, but two thick books.

"The formation of earth veins is a subject in my geomantic school that applies comprehensive abilities."

"The difficulty of simply drawing it with a spell's true intention is hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than simply drawing a single spell like the Earth Nourishing! So don't even think about the spell's true intention, kid."

"Take these two books about the earth vein magic array and the detailed explanation of the array and read them slowly. When you can understand and use them successfully, you will be considered to have entered the door of the earth vein array..."

"When the time comes, I will write you a letter of recommendation. I will then go find Li Sinong and Jing Sinong in Beiliangzhou City, and have them sign the letter together. I will recommend you to study in the fertile hinterland of the Great Zhou and the 36th Academy."

"After all, this place is a place where dragons are trapped. It is not as splendid and magnificent as the prosperous and fertile land. This is not the place where you should spend your best years..."

When Sun Xuanruo finished speaking, there was a hint of excitement on his face.

He was not just lamenting for himself, but also because he had met a good seedling. He also loved talent and wanted to promote it to a better place.

Also, Zhao Yun’s talent is really too good, and staying in this war-torn continent would just be a waste of his best years.

However, it is a little late to send Zhao Yun to the heartland of the Great Zhou, or preferably to the capital.

Because no matter what Beiliangzhou ordered to impose martial law on the entire Beiliang border,

On the border, some barbarian attacks have quietly arrived.
The barbarians' vanguard troops had already started a small-scale conflict with the border troops on the border.

In addition, Yanmen Pass was directly closed when the Beiliangzhou order was issued yesterday, and all caravan personnel were not allowed to enter or leave.

Even all the main transportation routes surrounding Beiliangzhou were blocked!

Only after Beiliangzhou has thoroughly investigated all the secret dealings with the barbarians will the road be opened again...

Also, Zhao Yun was a military household in this garrison. How could he leave the garrison without permission when there was a war at the border?
