Da Zaojun

Chapter 121: Grain Minister
After fully learning the Wind Tiger Killing Fist, Song Wuji had already achieved a small degree of success in this fist, and had completely increased the essence of the Three Treasures by 1 point.

However, although the Wind Tiger Killing Fist can be considered a very good external skill, what Song Wuji wants to learn more is the White Tiger series of martial arts.

However, the White Tiger Instant Kill Slash, the White Tiger Sky-Splitting Slash, or the White Tiger Gengjin Slash released by Cang Xuan in the illusion are all extremely powerful. If the Tiger Shape Fist and the Wind Tiger Killing Fist are still considered martial arts style, then the White Tiger series is somewhat more like a fantasy style.

Even if Song Wuji resisted with all his strength or dodged no matter how hard he tried, he could hardly last more than three moves or two styles. Song Wuji guessed that this series of martial arts of the White Tiger was inherent in the White Tiger's residual character, and was comprehended by Cang Xuan, and it came from the real sacred power of the White Tiger.

It is better to wait until Zaoge completely refines the remaining White Tiger element before learning these.

However, if Cang Xuan's White Tiger Instant Kill Slash was inherited from some true masters, Chi Yan's was only 70% to 80% of the power displayed by Cang Xuan. Song Wuji also learned the free-hand fighting technique from Chi Yan, and it was only 70% to 80% of his power. In other words, Song Wuji's move was actually only 50% to 60% of the power displayed by Cang Xuan himself.

By the time Song Wuji finished his training, it was already late. The Kitchen Office had been operating for two hours, and the people had finished their meals. After the battle with the demons, there were still many things to be done to clean up the mess.

Now the first thing Taichang City needs to restore is agriculture.

Early in the morning, Song Wuji learned some good news.

It turned out that several farmers had built a five-colored soil altar in the granary in Cang China, offering five-colored grains to the grain god, Hou Ji, one of the great gods of grain.

As expected, just like the previous sacrifice to Fei Hou, the ritual of [Ninth Rank. Minister of Agriculture of Five Grains] was obtained, and from the ninth rank onwards, those who were not in the mainstream were "farmers" among the hundreds of industries.

The rituals of the second-rate farmer are easy to accomplish. You can do it by serving blood rice or planting shrub goblins. Whether you are an ordinary grain farmer, or a forest farmer, herbal farmer, flower farmer, vegetable farmer, or mushroom farmer, you can gain some abilities from plants and trees.

Although farmers have little combat power, they are indeed indispensable, and the ability of the Minister of Agriculture lies in the five elements.

Demugu's ability lies in seed selection or seedling cultivation. He can sense the strength of the seeds' vitality and carefully care for them to allow them to thrive.

The key to gaining the ability to harvest crops lies in adjusting the soil. By tasting the soil you can tell what nutrients it is lacking.

The ability of Fire Valley lies in sensing whether the plant prefers shade or sun.

Those who have the ability to sense water and grain can know when plants are thirsty for water, so they can water them accurately, and they can also tell whether plants prefer dry or wet conditions.

Those who possess the ability of the Golden Valley can know the maturity of plants, help increase yields, and can also sense pest conditions from plants.

Among all industries, agriculture is the first. With the operation of the Ministry of Agriculture, it is believed that blood rice can be planted on a large scale during the spring plowing season. In this way, there will be no shortage of materials whether it is used for food or for refining into essence pills.

Even the shrubs around here, whose leaves have been almost plucked out and eaten as vegetables, can be planted in large quantities.

Song Wuji, the cook, was the happiest one. After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice. The Kitchen God cannot cook a good meal without rice and flour. Without food, the stove fire cannot be lit.

The county magistrate told everyone the news immediately, and for a moment the people finally felt a little happy.

As long as I can still farm, there is still hope in life.

No matter what suffering leaves behind, life must go on.

Chen Xiu was already waiting for Song Wuji, carrying a large copper-framed bow on his back. The county magistrate had already performed the ritual for the city's blacksmiths, following the ninth-grade bronze crafting ritual, and surprisingly, they were worshipping the Supreme Lord Lao.

Not only those who study Taoism worship Laojun, but also those who practice alchemy worship Laojun. Unexpectedly, blacksmiths also worship Laojun.

After paying homage to Taishang Laojun, I learned that the "Nine-grade Bronze Manufacturing" is actually a branch of the "Nine-grade Metal Manufacturing". In addition to copper, it can also forge iron, gold, silver, lead, and tin.

Those who are not up to the mark are ordinary blacksmiths and coppersmiths. If they can independently make a qualified tool, they are considered to have entered the threshold.

His copper-framed longbow was modified from his family's ancestral iron-framed longbow, which could better display his abilities as a ninth-grade demon-hunting archer.

As for the animal tendons, the ones used are demon tendons.

The rituals for the other one [Ninth Rank. Diviner] are much more complicated, involving fate, requiring pure yin in the eight characters, being psychic, and learning many books on fortune-telling... One must be proficient in the rituals of worshiping gods and maintain communication with gods at all times. In ancient times, this person was a witch, and now he is called a chief wine. In the future, he will be the one to explore the rituals of all professions and worship the main gods.

The county magistrate has not found a suitable person yet and intends to choose one from among the Confucian scholars. After all, this thing requires a high level of cultural knowledge.

Among all the students, those who can cure the disease according to the original sutra and those who can cure it easily according to the original sutra can try it once or twice to see if they can successfully obtain this ritual.

"what?"

Song Wuji saw the woman next to Chen Xiu. Wasn't this Lin Pandi, the prostitute who had become one before?

Song Wuji looked around at the two of them and thought to himself: Could it be...

Chen Xiu seemed to see what Song Wuji was thinking, and quickly said: "Don't think too much, Miss Lin is taking action this time to achieve the ninth rank."

Lin Pandi said with a smile, "Song Sizao, although Pandi has become a prostitute, she sells her art but not her body. She has learned the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and has cultivated poetry and songs. She can cook, sing, and dance. Before, she played the flute and played with jade in the army, but that was out of necessity, fulfilling the rituals. Now, she must go out and find a natal spirit flower to cultivate, so that she can become a "Ninth Rank Flower Actress."

Song Wuji asked curiously, "Aren't you worshipping Guan Zhong? Why are you related to flowers?"

Lin Pandi said, "Although Guan Zhong is the ancestor of prostitutes, in our line of work, we compete for the title of Oiran. There are several ranks. The first rank is Oiran, also known as the top flower. Because they compete for beauty like a hundred flowers blooming in spring, the true deity is actually the hundred flowers in bloom."

"I've tried all the flowers in the city, such as peach, apricot, and pear blossoms, but haven't found anything suitable. As my own flower deity, I wondered if the flowers in the city lack spirituality. I'd rather go outside and find some."

Chen Xiu said, "After she became a flower entertainer, she could perform flower magic, paired with songs like the Heart-Seducing Song, to confuse demons. She could also perform folk art, singing and dancing, to entertain the people and make them forget their worries for a while."

Then he whispered to Song Wuji secretly, "It can also promote estrus."

Song Wuji immediately understood that this was a soft support and soft control, and she could also develop into a female owner of a pig farm. In short, bringing her to the ninth rank would have a positive effect on the stability and development of Taichang City, and it was not just a burden to bring a vase.

Song Wuji immediately said, "The cat catcher's breed is good. When the time comes, I'll ask Miss Lin to try it out and help him breed something so that he can reproduce future generations!"

"Meow?" The cat detective, who was patrolling the streets, suddenly sneezed. "Meow? Who's thinking of me?"
