Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 223 The person who takes the blame
Zhao Yi Fu knew that someone in the cultivation world was going to cause trouble, but that was it, and he continued his life as usual.

Recently he has started taking 'apprentices', at least passing on his 'hoof-repairing method', and also passed down some herbs for treating hoof injuries.

Even if this operation is not as efficient as his, it can still provide pedicure treatment for Niu Niu.

In fact, compared to the series of spells he developed for trimming cattle pedicures, the blade techniques and herbs used in these pedicures are the truly important things for humanity.

This can be spread among the people and truly benefit future generations!
After he passed on all the herbal formulas, he finally gave up the job of repairing cow hooves.

After dealing with the cow hoof issue, Zhao Yifu began to study how to increase agricultural yields.

This is a long-term, systematic work. Although he has many insights that are ahead of his time, he still believes that it is better to take one step at a time and start from an angle that everyone can accept.

So he called Wu Dun and said, "Old Wu, I need to trouble you to go to each township and invite the old farmers to come to the county government office. I want to open a 'Fancheng Farmers' Association' so that the old farmers can share their farming experiences and increase yields."

Wu Dun was somewhat embarrassed when he heard this: "But these are all other people's unique skills, right? Are you willing to share them?"

Zhao Yifu hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Since that's the case, then let's spread the word and attract them with profit."

"After this farmers' meeting, I will personally preside over the compilation of a book called 'Fancheng Agricultural Book'. All selected experience points will have their names recorded in the book, and they will be exempted from the tax on 20 mu of land for life."

After hearing this, Wu Dun understood what was going on. He was amazed at Zhao Yifu's thinking and courage.

Lifetime tax exemption, this is a privilege given to scholars!

No, twenty acres of land is even better than the treatment of scholars in some places.

But Wu Dun then changed his mind and thought again... That's not right. Give old farmers lifelong tax exemption?

The old farmer has toiled in the fields all his life to accumulate such little farming experience. Even if he is exempt from tax for life, how many years can he enjoy it?
Wu Dun looked at Zhao Yifu in sudden realization, thinking that these scholars were really evil-minded, yet they still acted so righteously and made people shed tears of gratitude.

However, the more this happened, the more he obeyed Zhao Yifu and dared not make any mistakes.

People are sometimes so strange. If Zhao Yifu was a good guy, Wu Dun would definitely feel contempt for him, and might even do something behind his back... But in his eyes, Zhao Yifu was completely black! He was very well-behaved.

Just when Zhao Yifu was busy preparing for his farmers' association, he was suddenly called over by the leader Qiu Yuzi.

He didn't think much about it, and separated a part of his soul and returned to the mountain gate.

This time, the meeting was not held at the Danqing Temple on the top of the mountain, but at the Molu Academy Teachers' Residence on the mountainside.

It is shocking again that Zhao Yifu has differentiated his soul to this point.

Qiu Yuzi was surprised and asked, "You can already distract yourself?"

Zhao Yifu nodded and said, "I've been very busy lately. I can't handle it if I don't split myself up."

Qiu Yuzi was a little speechless. In this guy's mouth, the power of Yang God's split spirit was used to handle government affairs. What would happen to ordinary officials?
Qiu Yuzi sighed softly, "No wonder the official has been mumbling about 'hoof repair techniques' lately, even going so far as to go around causing trouble for cows. I think it won't be long before a county magistrate who can't repair a cow's hoof won't be considered a good one."

Zhao Yifu blinked and said, "If the emperor likes to play, that's his business. I'm just fulfilling my promise to my master."

Liang Zhongzhi was standing next to him and somehow he hit him again?
Zhao Yifu explained, "Master asked me to be a good official and to make Fancheng a paradise on earth. I'm working hard on it."

Qiu Yuzi became melancholy... He only hated other disciples for being too lazy, but as for Zhao Yifu, he was afraid that he worked too hard.

Because when Zhao Yifu is lazy, the world is peaceful, but once he works hard... it will be easy for some people to lose their lives.

Qiu Yuzi quickly changed the subject and said, "I have something that I want you to attend on behalf of Danqing Sect."

The tone was very similar to that of Zhao Yifu's leader in his previous life: There is an unimportant meeting, and you are to represent the department to attend it.

Zhao Yifu immediately rejected the offer because it reminded him of bad memories: "No, I'm not free. I have a meeting to attend."

Qiu Yuzi was shocked. Are all the young people nowadays so arrogant? He, the leader, just shirked his responsibilities. If he just let it go without saying anything, how would he lead the team in the future?
Liang Zhongzhi also saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said, "What's your urgent matter? Tell us, maybe we can help."

Zhao Yifu knew that his master was trying to make amends for him, so he took the opportunity to honestly tell his master about his "Fancheng Farmers' Association".

"Wonderful!"

Qiu Yuzi suddenly clapped his hands in praise.

As for the previous opinions? They didn't exist. He just saw the benefits of Zhao Yifu doing this... This is a great merit. It must be promoted!
He said, "You can go ahead and do it boldly, but don't forget to summarize your experience. I will ask local officials in my sect to promote this approach during their tenure."

Having said this, he suddenly paused.

My goodness, this simply confirmed Qiu Yuzi's previous thought: once Zhao Yifu gets serious, others will be in trouble!

Then he said helplessly: "Your business doesn't conflict with attending the Cultivator Conference, right?"

Zhao Yifu was shocked when he heard this and said, "It's actually the Cultivator Conference. Did they call us?"

This is so true.

In the southern cultivation world, the Danqing Sect is a small and unknown organization.

Qiu Yuzi felt a sudden pain in her heart.

He said, "Yes, they called us this time... After all, we are now the direct descendants of the Pure Yang Sect."

Zhao Yifu glanced at Liang Zhongzhi thoughtfully and said, "If that's why you invited us, then the one you should be calling is my master."

Qiu Yuzi's heart moved and he understood.

After a moment of thought, he said in a deep voice, "The Chonghe Yiqi Sect, the Wuqi Xuanmen, and the Bazhengjue Fazhuang Temple are all famous sects in the world. They must know about my Chunyang."

"But they didn't invite the Chunyang Sect leader but came to look for the Danqing Sect. So there must be something that involves the Danqing Sect alone."

Qiu Yuzi laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "Now I understand. I will send you, Zhao Yian, to this cultivator conference."

Zhao Yifu: “……!”

He squinted at Qiu Yuzi and said speechlessly, "Master, although this brother and I are not close, you're hitting me in the face with your abacus beads. Can't you just speak frankly if you have something to say?"

Qiu Yuzi then realized that this was his own sect and not the imperial court... He was using the same tactics as the officialdom.

So he said, "This conference is obviously under ill-intentioned, and no matter who I send, it will be inappropriate."

That's how it is. If you're of a higher status and are forced to do things, it's annoying. But if you're of a lower status, it becomes a form of neglect, which only makes things more complicated.

Zhao Yifu asked, "Then why is it appropriate for my third brother to go?"

Qiu Yuzi said quietly, "Because he is my only disciple, taught by the master himself..."

Good god, if I hadn’t mentioned Zhao Yi Fu, I would have forgotten that Zhao Yi An is his uncle!

"His status as our representative is enough, and it won't make people feel neglected. And no matter what he promised or did, it doesn't matter..."

"Anyway, this kid has no ambition. If he messes up and agrees to something, I can just turn around and fire him, right?"

Zhao Yifu: “!!!”

Wow, this is such a shady operation, he is worthy of being a high-ranking official!

As for his brother being used as cannon fodder...

How do you say this?
What a great thing!

Zhao Yian was expelled by Qiu Yuzi, but he only lost the title of the head disciple. He can still be an ordinary disciple of the same generation as Qiu Yuzi. How great is that.

So Zhao Yifu said solemnly: "Okay, then it's settled. For the benefit of the sect, I believe Yi'an will understand."

"I just hope that the master can give me some compensation when the time comes."

Qiu Yuzi nodded and said, "Of course, I'll give him..." Zhao Yifu interrupted, "He's so useless, it would be a waste to give him any good things. Why not give the compensation to his family?"

Qiu Yuzi glanced over and thought, "Isn't his home your home?"

He thought that this kid was really cruel. He would cheat his own brother just like that. What hatred or grudge was there?

However, as a master, even if he felt disgusted in his heart, Qiu Yuzi still said: "Forget it, I will go to the treasury to pick out some good equipment for him so that he won't be bullied outside."

Zhao Yifu thought about it and it made sense, after all, he was his younger brother.

He pondered the gadgets on his body...

Suddenly, the incarnation of the primordial spirit became much more solid, and then emitted a bright light.

This is the Yang Shen turning around directly.

Then Yang Shen formed the Qian Seal with one hand, and the surrounding space shook suddenly. It was as if a prehistoric beast appeared in this small temple, and the space was distorted for an instant.

But soon everything calmed down. Zhao Yifu reached into his sleeve and took out the Netherworld Messenger's Order and said, "Give this to Yi'an."

Qiu Yuzi's eyes widened. He asked, "How... did you teleport your physical body from Fancheng?"

Then he belatedly realized something and said, "Boundless Universe Technique?"

Zhao Yifu nodded: "It is the 'Boundless Universe Technique', and it is only a variant application of the first stage."

Qiu Yuzi took a deep breath. He roughly understood the principle and also realized the convenience of this special application method.

However, even if he wanted to master this application, he would have to think about it carefully. After all, this was an ability involving space... He felt like he had seen a ghost. How could Zhao Yifu easily figure out such an awesome way of using it?

He looked at Zhao Yifu and said, "The aura from the underworld on your Netherworld Messenger Order is too strong. It's not a good idea to reveal it easily."

Zhao Yifu thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Then, with a thought, the Netherworld Messenger Order transformed into the ghost mask. He handed over the ghost mask again and said, "That's it. I left a trace of my soul in it. It can cover the aura of the underworld and also let me know Yi'an's condition."

"As for its origin... just don't say it was given by me."

Qiu Yuzi took the mask and shook her head helplessly.

Then he saw that the originally powerful Yang Shen aura on Zhao Yi Fu suddenly disappeared, and then his physical body also disappeared in front of him. Even the head of the Qiu Yuzi sect couldn't help but show an envious look.

This move is so amazing.

He understood the principle clearly this time. First, the yang soul left the body and arrived at the destination. Then, based on the close connection between the yang soul and the physical body, he used his great magic power to twist the space between the two, and then broke through the twisted and overlapping space to allow the physical body to travel through space.

He and most people learned the 'Boundless Universe Technique' to build a 'nest' for themselves or create storage space. Only Zhao Yifu thought of using this trick to travel through space.

Theoretically, wherever his thoughts reach, his physical body can instantly break through the air and arrive there!

This kind of thing is already magical even for monks.

Only then did Qiu Yuzi realize that the so-called "boundless universe" does not just mean "infinitely vast space", but also means "infinite possibilities"!
He couldn't help but look at Liang Zhongzhi and ask, "Having a disciple like this must be very hard, right?"

Liang Zhongzhi almost shed tears of understanding. It was really hard!

He said, "It's okay. My useless apprentice still needs more discipline from elders like me."

Qiu Yuzi almost wanted to beat someone up!

He wanted to empathize with Liang Zhongzhi, but who knew that this guy would actually pretend to be him!
Why are you pretending to be a "useless apprentice"?
hateful……%
Qiu Yuzi was defeated and became furious.

However, Liang Zhongzhi was also a cunning person. After he finished pretending, he stood up and said, "Okay, Master, you can arrange Zhao Yian's affairs. I have to go and study the affairs of Chunyang Sect."

Qiu Yuzi's defense was broken again. The leader is more powerful than him as the head of the sect in terms of legal principles!

He gritted his teeth and almost couldn't maintain his yang spirit.

I thought I must take revenge.

At this moment, he had an idea and saw Zhao Yian, who was sleeping while others were reviewing in the school... Okay, it has to be you!

He thought for a moment, then called a disciple from Molu Academy to teach him, "Go, call Zhao Yian and that... oh, Liu Ying's disciple over here."

It was originally a solo mission, but now it has become a two-person mission, especially bringing the Dragon King and the reincarnation of Bixu Narcissus together, the sinister intention is obvious.

After the two were given the specific tasks, they were taken to the treasury to choose treasures.

Qiu Yuzi was very generous this time, providing plenty of elixirs, a self-defense magic tool, a magic weapon, storage magic tools, a portable cave and the like.

To be honest, this really treats Zhao Yian and Liu Ying well.

Even if these two are the reincarnations of powerful beings, it is still a bit overwhelming... After all, the levels of these two so-called reincarnated powerful beings are actually quite average.

Qiu Yuzi finally handed the ghost mask to Zhao Yian and said, "I will give you one last thing to save your life. Be careful."

When Liu Ying saw the ghost mask being handed to Zhao Yian, her heart immediately moved. She said with some envy, "Is this some kind of spiritual ritual vessel?"

"Could it be possible to summon some powerful being to come and help in the battle?"

Qiu Yuzi knew that this reincarnated Narcissus was quite knowledgeable, so she made up a lie: "This is the mask of the Ghost Prince. Anyone who wears it can summon the Ghost Prince's armor to help in battle."

"But be careful, those with weak wills will be corrupted by it and eventually become the true carrier of the Ghost Prince in the human world."

"That's why I tell you to use it with caution."

Zhao Yian took over the so-called 'mask of the ghost prince' in a daze, and was then dragged away by Liu Ying.

Qiu Yuzi said with a heavy heart: "Why am I so worried?"

Liang Zhongzhi appeared nearby, stroking his chin as he said, "I think I understand how the Dragon King, the dignified Dongting Water God, was ambushed by a mortal cultivator."

"I think she can succeed in another sneak attack now."

Qiu Yuzi let out a long sigh.

He had something to say, but he was afraid of hurting feelings for no reason if he said it.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yifu's alter ego also appeared nearby at this moment. He said quietly, "Alright, I know this brother is a bit simple-minded... but I have to say, he still has a good character."

It's so tactful, only he can be called his biological brother.

Qiu Yuzi asked, "Aren't you afraid that woman will eat your brother up?"

Zhao Yifu said, "My distracted consciousness is on the mask. She won't succeed."

Qiu Yuzi nodded and said, "Then I feel relieved."

So Zhao Yifu's clone, Qiu Yuzi's yang spirit and Liang Zhongzhi watched the young man and woman walk down the mountain step by step.

Zhao Yifu paused and said, "The farmers' association over there is almost ready."

It means he is leaving.

Liang Zhongzhi said, "Wait a moment, I'll go and take a look too. This kind of thing is much more interesting and meaningful than any cultivator conference."

Qiu Yuzi agreed and said, "Yes, let's go together."

It's ridiculous. The so-called cultivator conference here at Danqingmen is not even as good as the farmers' conference held by the old farmers. Who is the one who is out of the world and who is in the world? It's hard to tell.
