Chapter 312: Dragon Spirit Bamboo, Lihuo Shenlian! Thousand Years of Change, Mysterious Girl!
PS: To avoid confusion, the name of the setting has been changed. The previous rule dojo has been changed to rule domain, dojo>domain>distorted rules. The essence has not changed, just the name has been changed to make it easier for everyone to understand.

Since the direction was determined, it only took me half a month to fly there.

"I found you, Long Lingzhu!"

"Huh? So high?"

Zhao Xing estimated the distance and easily calculated the height of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

This dragon spirit bamboo is ten thousand feet tall, three times taller than the Qitian Mountain he raised!
"It's bigger than expected. It seems that the lack of players has caused the total amount of spiritual energy in the entire Xuanhuang Realm to increase, including this place called Mingyao North Sea." Zhao Xing said secretly.

The tide of vital energy in the previous life was accompanied by a small eruption of spiritual energy. The dragon spirit bamboo that was seen at that time was only ten thousand feet high.

The tide of vital energy hasn't arrived yet, but it's already so high?
"Let the clone take a look first."

I still had to be careful and not rush over right away.

After all, this is a treasure-level Dragon Spirit Bamboo, which can be used as a military unit. It is already equivalent to the human race’s rule realm!

From the perspective of life level, the power of Dragon Spirit Bamboo is extremely powerful in the realm of rules.

After all, the time it takes to grow and the nutrients it absorbs are far greater than that of other life forms.

Even without the development of self-awareness, its self-protection mechanism is terrifying.

Whoosh whoosh~
The clone began to advance slowly, observing in multiple dimensions in the air at a distance of 20,000 meters.

There was a golden mist rippling on the outer layer of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo, and even from a long distance, one could feel a sharp, tingling sensation.

"They can no longer be considered the true meaning of Gengjin, but rather a more advanced field of Gengjin rules, similar to the field of rules of humans."

"This is a naturally formed self-protection mechanism, not a conscious attack."

Zhao Xing observed as his clone dived into the sea and discovered that its roots had formed a thousand-meter-high mountain underneath, surrounding the Dragon Spirit Bamboo to form a very wide island.

There are eight sea eyes around, and spiritual energy is born from the sea eyes!
The eight sea eyes on the island and under the sea are all locked in a golden color.

The instinct of survival allows it to lock in its spiritual energy and prevent it from leaking out, creating a unique self-circulating environment.

"Eight spiritual energy sea eyes? There were clearly only three in the previous life."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xing further confirmed his guess that the total amount of spiritual energy in this life is more than he imagined.

Looking up from the bottom, you will find that the bamboo trunk is covered with strange lines. These lines are not ordinary scratches or flaws, but look like little winding dragons.

If you observe carefully, you will find that they are either holding their heads high or swimming in a winding manner, in various shapes and lifelike.

Each dragon pattern flashes with a faint light, some blue, some yellow, some red... In the patterns inside the bamboo, the flow of life seems to follow the rules of heaven and earth of the Dragon Court.

"It is said that this is one of the sacred trees of the Dragon Court. In ancient times, the dragons would come here to meditate. After being exposed to dragon energy for a long time, it formed the Dragon Spirit Bamboo."

The ancient dragon pattern basically extends vertically, as if telling its extraordinary journey of being baptized by time and nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The colorful background adds a sense of luxury and mystery to it. This is not only a unique symbol of the appearance of the dragon bamboo, but also a symbol of its close connection with the dragon clan.

The leaves of Longling Bamboo are also unique. From a distance, they look like sharp swords, with a faint cold light flashing on the edges, as if they could cut through the void with a slight wave.

Golden lines are piled up between the bamboo joints. If you look closely, those lines look like dragon scales.

Overall, each section of bamboo looks like a dragon's bone, tough and powerful, as if it contains endless power.

"Big, too big, beyond expectations." Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He originally wanted to transplant the treasures as troops. In his estimation, Long Lingzhu should only be comparable to the early stage of the rule realm of humans.

But now it seems that he definitely possesses the strength of the middle or even late stage of the Rule Realm.

"The difficulty of transplanting it is like planting an old landscape in the field."

"No, this analogy is inappropriate. Long Lingzhu does not have a strong sense of self. At most, it only has a sense of survival."

"The old scene is still much better than it."

Zhao Xing's clone advanced to within ten thousand meters and found that there were no other living creatures around, because other creatures could not survive here.

A super-strong plant like this would instinctively grab nutrients from the heaven and earth, so how could other life have a chance to survive? Unless it was beneficial to it.

Maybe there was in the past, but it certainly isn't now.

There is no such thing as a guardian beast because it is strong enough on its own.

"But I'm not a newcomer to Dragon Court." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "My pure essence projection range is already large enough, and my ninth-level soil is the best in the world. It's no problem to transplant treasure-level (rule realm) into it."

"Swish, swish, swish~"

After observing for half a month and formulating a transplantation plan, Zhao Xing took back all the clones.

When transplanting such a large item, you must pay full attention.

Not only was he afraid of hurting himself, he was also afraid of hurting the Dragon Spirit Bamboo itself.

If it is out of the spiritual environment, it may be damaged.

That would be a pity.

"Whoo~"

Zhao Xing's real body stood ten thousand meters away and let out a long breath. After half a month of regulating his breathing, his energy and spirit had reached their peak.

"Pure Yuan Projection!"

Zhao Xing opened his eyes, let out a low shout, and then a shadow appeared on the seabed.

The light on the seabed suddenly became dim.

"Apparition!!"

The originally irregular pure Yuan projection suddenly changed.

A larger circle was formed around the Dragon Spirit Bamboo with a radius of ten thousand meters.

The shadow began to encroach forward.

If you want to transplant it, you have to erode the roots of the Longling Bamboo.

"Chichi~"

When the Chunyuan projection approached the golden mist area, its speed suddenly slowed down.

This is the instinctive resistance of the rule field formed by the Dragon Spirit Bamboo itself.

Any changes in the living environment that are not conducive to its growth will cause it to resist.

Weak plants adapt to the world, while strong plants change the world!

Zhao Xing made this point very clear in his annotations to "On the Self and Nature".

This is why the farmers of Shenmu Academy need to spend their entire lives to inherit the precious sacred trees.

Chi chi chi~
This resistance was not strong, but Zhao Xing did not intend to invade forcefully. Instead, he began to analyze and explore the environment around the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

Including the distribution of spiritual soil, water veins, and the strength of earth veins.

He is making ingenious and huge calculations!

"Change!"

In Zhao Xing's pure Yuan space, there are earth veins, springs of spiritual energy, vitality in the wilderness, surging fire, four pillars of gold and stone, violent winds, and twin thunder pools.

They all started to move. This was the advantage of having a high level and a large enough place.

Zhao Xing's soil properties have all entered the second stage, and he can change the distribution of these properties at will.

"It's a treasure-level inheritance. Every time it's transplanted, the farmers of the Self Sect have to prepare for a very long time."

"The preparation process is to transform the environment of the pure soil to be similar to the growth environment of the inherited treasure plant before."

"This is the only way to avoid triggering the self-protection mechanism of the treasure-level sacred tree, or to reduce the strength of the protection mechanism as much as possible."

"To put it simply, it is to create an environment identical to that of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo, so that the Pure Yuan Projection can successfully envelop it."

"Then, while it's not paying attention, launch a sneak attack and quickly transplant it into the Pure Yuan Space."

If you have read "The Theory of My Own Nature" and "The Art of Planting Troops from Heaven and Earth", you will understand the ins and outs of this.

In the process of inheritance, which is also the process of transplantation, there is a chance that Si Nong of the ego faction will be choked to death or even beaten to death by the sacred tree.

"Even if the passive mechanism is triggered and a hit from a treasure-level sacred tree is a normal attack from a Rule Realm expert, if you're not careful, you'll be dead."

Zhao Xing kept calm and was not anxious at all.

Compared to taming other species, such as spiritual beasts, transplanting spiritual plants is much better.

Because plants have very weak self-awareness, there will be no big problem as long as they are handled properly.

The key is to master the skills.

"Simulating the living environment is a necessary quality for the I-Self Sect's agriculture to transplant plants."

Zhao Xing invaded carefully, and this process took him three full years.

Three years later, Zhao Xing's pure Yuan projection had already covered the main roots of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

"I can only wrap the main foundation." Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

"The radiating range of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo's roots is so wide, it's really terrifying. If I want to encompass it all, I can't do it."

You must know that the roots of a tree that is 20 to 30 meters tall can spread as far as three kilometers in radius underground!
The Dragon Spirit Bamboo is ten thousand feet tall, and the area where its roots dig into the ground almost covers half of the Mingyao Sea!
Want to cover it all? Not to mention the ninth grade soil, even the tenth grade soil is not possible.

So, it must be truncated!

"This step is also the most critical moment."

"Once its branches and roots are cut off, its self-protection mechanism will be triggered."

Zhao Xing took a deep breath and repeated the deduction for two and a half months.

Finally, a satisfactory plan was worked out and then we started.

"receive!!"

Zhao Xing's whole body was filled with vitality, and the pure energy projection was immediately retracted.

After three years and two and a half months, Zhao Xing's pure Yuan projection was recovered at this moment.

"Om~"

In an instant, he felt more tired than dragging ten mountains.

But at this moment, he still successfully took it in.

"boom!"

The moment the Dragon Spirit Bamboo disappeared, its defense mechanism was triggered!
An extremely sharp golden shock wave, over ten thousand feet high, spread out in all directions.

At the same time, a dragon shadow was about to rush out from the bamboo body.

"Peng~"

The shock wave passed, and only a cloud of mist was left at the original location of Zhao Xing.

The clouds were quickly shattered and turned into part of the shock wave, which continued to sweep across the Mingyao North Sea.

A huge tsunami rose up, and the whole ocean seemed to be boiling.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

He used the "So Close, So Far" technique continuously, but the speed of the shock wave was too fast.

It is a completely regular shock wave and cannot be inferred by common sense speed at all.

"The sacred tree jumps!"

Zhao Xing had been preparing for more than three years and had taken precautions long ago.

He immediately activated the top method of the ego school.

[Sacred Tree Jump] is an upgraded version of the original [Jungle Jump].

On his retreat path, there were rows of seventh-level trees called linden trees.

They stretch in a straight line, with one such tree every 300 kilometers.

Zhao Xing prepared two thousand such trees before entering Longting.

This time, two thousand trees were used at once, leaving only a few saplings as backup.

After every leap, the price was borne by the linden tree, which quickly withered and turned into ashes.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

Every time, he would activate [Sacred Tree Jump] immediately after jumping out of a loquat tree.

The cost is borne entirely by the plants themselves.

Escaped 60 kilometers in one breath!
When the last elm tree behind Zhao Xing turned into ashes.

Zhao Xing looked back and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Rule Realm is so terrifying."

"Fortunately, I am well prepared."

Zhao Xing was completely defenseless in the face of the realm of rules.

No matter how many clones you have, they are useless because the power levels are not in the same dimension.

When Liu Tianning inherited the four sacred trees, he also entered the first grade and gave birth to the field of rules, and then he inherited the four treasure-level plant arms.

"It's not over yet."

Zhao Xing immediately sat cross-legged, his mind calmed, and he came into the pure Yuan space.

At this time, in the pure soil, the Dragon Spirit Bamboo was constantly trembling, and circles of golden light were spreading around.

Taking it in is just the first step. After that, adjustments will have to be made because a certain degree of protection mechanism has been triggered.

"I'm not at the Rule Realm, not even at the First Level Realm, but my Pure Essence Soil has given birth to seven characteristics, which should be enough to suppress it."

Zhao Xing began to sort out the earth veins, mobilize the spiritual properties of fire, wind, wood, metal, and thunder, and began to appease the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

The vibration lasted for a long time. Since the Dragon Spirit Bamboo was stronger than Zhao Xing had imagined, he couldn't calm it down for a long time.

"It's too strong. Fortunately, there are no other plants planted here. Otherwise, once it comes in, the other plants will die. It's like raising them in vain."

Nothing else, precious plants are just domineering!
That is the instinct for survival, the desire to control the surrounding world and make it more suitable for living.

"It seems that we won't be able to calm down for a while." Zhao Xing looked for a while. He had already put some other plants, including floating vines and other plants, in the corner.

The place was large enough, so some of the spare tool trees planted previously, such as the elm tree and the five elements wood for the straw man materials, were not affected.

However, just when Zhao Xing wanted to leave, Long Lingzhu suddenly calmed down and stopped snatching spiritual energy from the area with the most spiritual energy in the center.

"Ok?"

Zhao Xing took a closer look and found that it was the central area. A purple-black seed floating in the center with the most spiritual energy was emitting light.

Strands of purple-black light hit the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

"It's emitted from the tender leaves of the Moyun vine." Zhao Xing was happy.

It looked like a green leaf of the Moyun vine, which gave Long Lingzhu a big blow, and then Long Lingzhu became obedient and dared not snatch the spiritual energy anymore.

"Mo Yun is still the one who can control the situation." Zhao Xing smiled.

The Moyun vine is only in its seedling stage now, while the Longling bamboo has already entered its peak stage.

However, when Long Lingzhu sensed that there was a powerful force in the surrounding environment that was powerful enough to destroy him, he dared not move anymore.

Why fight for resources? Bamboo is the first!

"Brilliant!"

Zhao Xing exclaimed “awesome”.

Over the years, the Mo Yun Teng has never robbed spiritual energy, but has only maintained its own life form. At critical moments, it can also help Master Zhao protect the Chunyuan Space.

"The Void Seed is big-minded. They know I can't afford to support it now." Mr. Zhao was a little touched for a moment.

Then he looked at the ignorant Long Lingzhu.

"Although the Dragon Spirit Bamboo is a military weapon, it also has medicinal value."

“It has the magical effect of nourishing the soul.”

"If a practitioner can place it next to him, the Dragon Spirit Bamboo will emit a special spiritual energy. This spiritual energy can slowly penetrate into the practitioner's sea of ​​consciousness, repair the slight damage to the soul, and make the practitioner's mental power stronger."

"People who practice beside the Dragon Spirit Bamboo for a long time will have their souls become as solid as a rock, and will not be easily affected by external illusions or mental attacks. When they break through the realm, they will also be able to resist the invasion of the inner demons more smoothly."

"The branches of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo are also excellent materials for refining magic weapons. The magic weapons refined from them are not only extremely tough, but also have powerful spirituality."

"The dragon spirit bamboo is cut and refined into a bamboo flute. When it is played, the sound of the flute can transform into a dragon shape. It has a powerful sonic attack capability that can shock the enemy's mind."

"If it is refined into a long sword, dragon scale patterns will appear on the sword body. When it is swung, it will be like a giant dragon roaring, with amazing power."

Zhao Xing looked at it and felt very satisfied.

"The most important thing is its power."

"It can perform breath attacks like a dragon."

"Every bamboo joint is its outbreak point."

"The dragon's breath is light golden in color and has an extremely high temperature. It can instantly turn surrounding objects into ashes."

"The second is the bamboo shadow phantom dragon: it has coexisted with the ancient dragon clan for countless years. Its bamboo body and leaves have recorded many of the innate secret skills of the middle dragon clan. When it dances with its bamboo body, the surrounding spiritual energy will quickly gather and form lifelike giant dragon phantoms."

"The Dragon Phantom has powerful attack and defense capabilities, and can engage in fierce battles with the enemy."

"Third, the spiritual bamboo barrier: the bamboo nodes of the dragon spiritual bamboo are connected to each other to form a regular barrier."

"The rule barrier has a concealing effect. It has not been discovered in Mingyao North Sea for many years because of the existence of the Lingzhu barrier."

"In addition, it will automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. It can resist the enemy's attacks and also has the ability to rebound the attacks."

The reason Zhao Xing escaped just now was because he triggered the Gengjin rule breath of Long Lingzhu.

It possesses the characteristics of the other five elements, but its essence still belongs to the two regular attributes of gold and wood.

There are two innate skills formed by two rules, one is the Gengjin Breath, and the other is the Lingzhu Barrier.

Zhao Xing looked at it for a while and then stopped paying attention.

Because he is unable to control the Dragon Spirit Bamboo now, he must practice the advanced version of [Every Tree and Grass is an Enemy].

For example, Liu Tianning's "The Art of Planting Troops from Heaven and Earth" or "The Divine Art of Soldiers".

Only by cooperating with secret techniques can you command plant soldiers to fight at will.

"I can't project it at all right now."

When Liu Tianning used the Four Seasons Divine Aura, he only projected a part of it, making the four sacred trees between reality and illusion.

If one really wants to make the sacred tree descend to the ground of Xuanhuang Realm, it must be the Four Seasons Shenhua Dojo, not the Four Seasons Shenhua Realm.

"It took more than four years to subdue the Dragon Spirit Bamboo," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "All the adult linden trees have died."

"But it's totally worth it. Practicing the secret method of 'Four Seasons Divine Flower Dojo' and using the Dragon Spirit Bamboo to occupy the Eastern Spring position is definitely better than Old Liu's Sky Horn Bamboo."

"No, what's Old Liu? When the time comes, I should call him Little Liu, haha~"

Zhao Xing fantasized proudly for a while.

Then it transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon and flew to the next location.

…………

In the Guting Royal City, Xia Jing and Long Xiao emerged from the teleportation array covered in dust.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Shijie, who was standing at the edge of the teleportation square, was stunned and put down the star conch in his hand.

"Didn't we just set off for Longyuan Valley?"

"Hey, don't mention it." Xia Jing waved his hand. "I went to the True Dragon King City through the teleportation array this morning, and then flew to Longyuan Valley. As a result, I encountered a tsunami and a big storm not long after I flew."

"Where did the tsunami and storm come from in that direction?" Chen Shijie was stunned. He had been here for a few years and was quite familiar with the map of Longting.

"Ming Yao Hai."

"How is that possible?" Chen Shijie asked curiously, "It's tens of thousands of miles away. How can the weather there affect your going to Longyuan Valley?"

"It's true." Long Xiao said, "We also found it strange at first, but after Brother Xia and I stayed in the royal city for two hours, we received a warning from the first-class expert 'Lin Shang' in the Star Snail, saying that Longyuan Valley was gone and submerged by the violent Mingyao Sea."

"Huh?" Chen Shijie felt like it was a fairy tale.

Si Nong is very sensitive to the right time and place. In Lao Chen's eyes, this should not exist.

Mingyao Sea is 250,000 miles away from Longyuan Valley. How big a tsunami would it take to affect that place?

But soon he received similar news in his star snail.

Many powerful men from the imperial court came out of the teleportation array.

"Not only was Longyuan Valley flooded, but a quarter of the Golden Desert north of Mingyao Sea was turned into ocean."

"Two territories of the dragon kingdom of 'Gu'an' in Edom were also severely affected."

"The court has issued a warning to all members, involving 63 regions and 152 exploration sites. Without the strength of the second rank, it is forbidden to go there to explore."

Xia Jing touched his chin and said, "Could it be Brother Zhao who did this? Mingyao Sea is known as the Dead Sea, how could it go berserk for no reason?"

"What are you guessing? Why don't you just ask?" Long Xiao took out the star snail, "Doesn't he have an avatar living in Xila Mansion?"

Xila Mansion was the original residence of Ji Mengjun, the governor of the royal city, which was equivalent to the embassy of the Great Zhou in Longting.

Ji Si, who stayed here at this time, had her star snails blown up.

Many officials sent messages to ask what was going on.

After finally finishing her work, Ji Si came to the secret room and looked at the figure who was "AFK".

"Marquis Shenwei, this noise is too loud." Ji Si was a little helpless.

Zhao Xing immediately issued an early warning after escaping, and Ji Si received the news first.

However, Ji Si had never expected that the commotion Zhao Xing mentioned would be so big.

"I didn't expect it either." Zhao Xing shook his head. He really didn't expect Long Lingzhu to be so strong.

The moment Long Lingzhu exploded after being moved away, he had to run for his life.

There will be a gap to communicate after two thousand breaths.

He himself didn't know how big a commotion it was, how could he explain it to Ji Si?
Now that everything is clear, why does the court still need to maintain officials?
"Everyone, please keep a low profile." Zhao Xing said, "In the next few years, middle-rank officials should not go to the Central Dragon Court casually, and third-rank officials should go there less often."

"Come again?" Ji Si was stunned for a moment, then reacted and suddenly became energetic. "Oh, no problem, did you get anything?"

"Have."

"How big?"

"Very big!" Zhao Xing said, "It's hard to tell what the situation is now. I can only find out after I go back."

Zhao Xing now doesn’t even know which stage of the rule realm Long Lingzhu is in. He can only sense it by practicing the Divine Art of Soldiers.

"Okay." Ji Si nodded and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, when we get close to the exploration site around the 'Huo Desert', notify them in advance and let everyone evacuate." Zhao Xing said.

Because the next place he was going to was the Hunhuo Desert.

Ji Si nodded: "Okay, I'll go and inform them."

…………

The Hunhuo Desert seems to be a place cursed by gods. It is shrouded in endless flames all year round. The hot breath permeates every inch of the air, making this desert a forbidden zone for life.

"Huh~" The huge dragon body stepped into the desert, and Zhao Xing turned into a human form again.

What comes into view are the flying tongues of fire. They are like the tentacles of the devil, dancing wildly over the desert.

The raging fire dyed the sky blood red, which contrasted with the golden sand, creating a scene like hell.

The high temperature made the air distorted. From a distance, the scenery in the desert seemed to be swaying in the heat wave, like a dream.

"The Hunhuo Desert is one of the forbidden areas in the ancient Longting Land." Zhao Xing glanced ahead. "But the more forbidden it is, the more people come here. Many Fuming craftsmen like to come here to mine sand."

"I want to find a second plant to represent summer. When I build a temple in the future, I will use it to govern the rules of heaven and earth in the south."

Zhao Xing closed his eyes and felt it, and he found that his intuition was contrary to the planned route.

"This is the characteristic of entering the Heavenly Fate Realm. Follow the will of heaven and earth and avoid dangerous places."

“Good fortune and bad fortune go hand in hand. Sometimes this feeling doesn’t have to be taken as a basis for action.”

Just like those first-rank strongmen who were executed by Ji Mengjun, they were led by fate and refused the orders of the court, which resulted in their death.

“Looking for reference.”

Zhao Xing's clones scattered and kept searching in the sky.

From time to time, huge whirlpools of fire would appear out of nowhere in the sky. These whirlpools were like entrances to the underworld, emitting suffocating heat and powerful suction. Any object that approached would be instantly sucked in and turned into ashes.

However, in Si Nong's eyes, these abnormal celestial phenomena also follow certain patterns.

There are many ways for Si Nong to determine the direction. Zhao Xing used the memories of his previous life and combined them with what he learned in this life, and began to explore by combining the exhaustive method.

"Bang bang bang!"

Occasionally, a clone would be injured by the flowing stones shot out from the vortex of fire.

Some clones were even accidentally sucked in and disintegrated by the high temperature.

"It's damn hot."

The Hunhuo Desert is much more difficult to explore than the Mingyao Sea.

Mingyao Sea is big, but there are no obstacles and flying here and there is no hindrance.

But here, there are obstacles everywhere.

It took Zhao Xing six years to finally find his destination - an ancient volcano.

"The entire Huhuo Desert was created because of this volcano." Zhao Xing looked ahead.

The volcano towers into the clouds, and magma is constantly erupting from the mountain pass, like an angry beast, venting its power to the world.

The magma flowed down the mountain, forming hot rivers that divided the desert into different areas.

The flickering vortex of flames in the air looked like eyes blinking.

"receive!"

Zhao Xing put away the remaining clones, and his real body put on a colorful cloak.

Jinlan cloak, a mid-grade treasure.

Selected from the Imperial Palace Treasury.

Emperor Jing originally allowed Zhao Xing to exchange it three times, and Zhao Xing had used up two of them, one of which was this [Jinlan Cloak].

It has only one function: to ward off fire.

Precisely because it focuses on one effect, it achieves perfection.

It can form a strong fire shield.

However, its production is too low, and the materials used to make it have a growth cycle.

From the reign of Taizu to the present, only four finished products have been produced.

It takes almost seven hundred years to make just one.

Three of them were only low-grade treasures, and the only one was of medium quality, which was chosen by Mr. Zhao.

"Wait for the great night of the Dragon Court."

“As night falls, the temperature will drop a little.”

After Zhao Xing put on the Jinlan cloak, he did not take any action immediately, but waited until the night fell in the Dragon Court.

The arrival of Taiyin involves changes in the rules of heaven and earth.

The entire ancient land of Longting will enter a month-long night.

"The power has been reduced by about 20%. That's enough." Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

The night in the flaming desert did not bring any coolness. It was 20% less powerful than before and was still extremely hot.

Although the temperature in the desert has dropped slightly at this time, it is still deadly enough.

If it weren't for the Ancestral Dragon Transformation, the power of the Dragon Emperor Codex, and the Jinlan Cloak, Zhao Xing would not have dared to come here.

Many of his clones were destroyed, proving that the fire here can burn even the Tianyun realm to death!
“Boom~Boom~”

At night, low roars could be heard from the flaming desert. That was the sound of volcanic activity, as if the pulse of the earth was beating.

Zhao Xing was wrapped in a cloak and quickly arrived at the mesosphere of the volcano, circling down along the edge of the crater.

"Boom~"

Each stream of flames was more than ten miles long, and the crisscrossing flames made Zhao Xing terrified.

"Like Mingyaohai, the intensity of the Anhuo Desert has also increased."

"Isn't it stronger than the Dragon Spirit Bamboo?"

Zhao Xing continued searching and finally found the second precious plant in the south of the crater.

"Leaving the Fire God Lotus!"

In summer, the main direction is due south. The second treasure-level plant that Zhao Xing prepared for the Four Seasons Dojo is the Fire God Lotus!
"It's much bigger than expected!"

There was a hint of greed in Zhao Xing's eyes.

The flowers of the Fire God Lotus are large and gorgeous, with layers of petals. Each petal is like a burning flame, showing bright red, orange or golden yellow.

The three colors represent the temperature of the flame.

There was a strange light flickering on the edges of the petals, and flames seemed to be dancing.

Even inside a volcano, the light of the Fire Divine Lotus cannot be concealed.

When the diameter of the Fire Lotus flower reached three thousand meters!

Its lotus leaves are broad and thick, with a round shape, as if they were carved from jade.

The deep dark green lotus leaves have a layer of faint flame patterns on the surface. These patterns spread in the lotus leaves like blood vessels, as if constantly supplying mysterious energy to the lotus leaves.

The edges of the lotus leaves are slightly upturned, forming a graceful arc, allowing them to float steadily in the magma on the water surface.

"Pure Yuan Projection!"

Zhao Xing carefully performed the Pure Yuan Projection, eroding into the magma lake.

The rhizome of the Fire Lotus is thick and tough, with a dark red or reddish brown color, as if it had been burned by fire for a long time. The rhizome is covered with fine lines, and the rhizome is deeply rooted in the volcano.

Fully absorbing the energy of the entire volcano, Zhao Xing suspected that the eruption of the volcano was caused by the Lihuo Divine Lotus.

"Once I move away, the Mount Pengyuan will definitely erupt."

"It is impossible to grow linden trees in the desert here. Even the world away is difficult to cast. It will be much more difficult to take it away than the Dragon Spirit Bamboo." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Nanming Lihuo is a first-grade true meaning. If it erupts, it can burn oneself to ashes.

"The plants that can survive in the Hunhuo Desert must be at least level eight plants, and they must be fire plants."

"The shortest escape route will require a thousand plants as my jumping base."

Originally, what Zhao Xing prepared was only the seventh-level [Nanhua Fire Tree], but now it is not enough at all.

"Now, if I want the seventh-level Nanhua Fire Tree to break free from its shackles and enter the eighth level, I have to use a large amount of spiritual fluid."

"What a waste. Let's activate the backup plan."

What's the backup plan? Of course, call someone!

Guding Royal City, Xila Palace.

Zhao Xing found Ji Si and said, "Master Ji, please contact the first and second rank Si Nong who have entered the Dragon Court Ancient Land. Regardless of their faction, send a message to all of them."

"all?"

"All."

Ji Si said in embarrassment: "To mobilize so many Si Nong, even if there is a suitable reason, I am afraid that cooperation will be difficult..."

For the past few decades, the three factions have been competing for the position of Minister of Agriculture!

Now that the seventieth anniversary of the Yongzhi reign has passed, the candidates from various factions have already reached the seventh round.

Although it was a competition, the relationship between the three factions also became tense during these rounds of sparring in the dojo.

It was easy for Ji Si to call these powerful agricultural men over individually, but how could she gather them all together to do something together?

It’s difficult!
Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Master Ji, just send out this transfer order and tell them that I, Zhao Xing, have something to do. Please ask them to wait outside the Panghuo Desert."

"If it's any other profession, I may not have the confidence, but if it's Si Nong... I believe everyone will come."

"Okay." Ji Si nodded. Since Zhao Xing said so, what else could he say?

"I'll send it right away."

…………

Zhao Xing started to mobilize people across the map, and the results were soon seen.

Forty-two agricultural officials soon gathered in the Xila Palace in the royal city of Guting.

Among them, there were twenty-four people from the Tianshi faction, twelve people from the Dili faction, and only six people from the Benwo faction.

There are six people in the first-grade Fate Palace realm.

Two of them were from Shangluo Academy, they were Chu Qianqiu from the Military Academy and Zhuang Danan, the dean of Shenmu Academy.

Because Liu Tianning was the only one participating in the competition at Shangluo Academy, the danger of the Longting Ancient Land was greatly reduced with the arrival of Master Zhao.

Shangluo Academy naturally sent people in as well.

The Dragon Emperor is from our Shangluo Academy, how can we not come in and support him?
After Lao Liu became the dean, the two of them inherited some of the branch's heritage and broke through to the Fate Palace realm.

Zhuang Danan is only in the early stage of the Fate Palace, while Chu Qianqiu is more powerful and has reached the middle stage.

The first-rank minister of agriculture of the Tianshi faction was called King Jiao An. He was not a king, but that was just his name.

One of them is called Min Qing. Although she is a woman, she exudes heroic spirit. She is not old, and is also a second-generation strongman like Wang Tianzhi and Ling Tianchen.

There are two first-rank people in the Dili faction. One is called Xiao Zhe, who is one of the Thirteen Saints and controls the Divine Ship. It is said that he has some connection with Zhao Xing. It was he who dispatched the Divine Ship and transported the heavy weapon Wanchongshan to the Liang Wang's fiefdom to kill people.

The other one is Taishu Kun, the new dean of Kunyuan Academy.

He was also one of the candidates, but he withdrew from the fight after six games, indicating that he would no longer compete for the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture.

When the three factions of farmers gathered in Xila Mansion, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Humph!"

The two Jiao An princes of the Tianshi faction snorted coldly when they saw Chu Qianqiu and Zhuang Danan from the Shangluo Academy sitting in the first and second positions on the lower left of the hall.

"Since when do the inferiors dare to occupy the first guest seat?"

"You really have no self-awareness!"

Yin and Yang! Yin and Yang without any disguise!
"King Jiao An, why are you being so sarcastic?" Zhuang Daren slammed the table and stood up.

"Isn't it?" Jiao An Wang challenged, "How strong are you to dare to sit in front of me, hum?"

"Why are you so arrogant?" Zhuang Danan snorted, "Didn't so many deans of your Xuantian Academy get beaten down by Dean Liu?"

"Liu Tianning is powerful, but what does he have to do with you?" King Jiao An's body was flashing with lightning. "Do you have the guts to fight me? Don't worry, I will never hurt you. Stand up if you dare!"

Chu Qianqiu frowned and was about to stand up. Zhuang Danan’s fighting ability was not strong. If they really wanted to fight, they would have to rely on him, the dean of the Military Academy.

Jiao An and Wang Ming's Chongzhuang Dayan was actually always looking at Chu Qianqiu.

They all know their limits and won't fight to the death, but it is still necessary for them to compete with each other and determine who is first.

"Everyone, please be patient..." Ji Si opened her mouth, but was blocked by a gust of wind.

Kan Qing looked at Ji Si with a smile, and his meaning was very clear.

You are just a small official, you have no right to speak!
People are not doing the mission for your sake. Do you have to interfere in their fighting skills?

Ji Si looked to the right helplessly.

Xiao Zhe and Tai Shukun, who were from the geographical advantage faction, remained calm and pretended not to see anything.

They were also somewhat hostile towards Chu Qianqiu, Zhuang Danan, Jiao Anwang, and Kan Qing, but they still managed to remain decent.

It's good enough that you didn't add fuel to the fire. Who would come to mediate?

Just watch the fun!

It seemed that a struggle was inevitable.

Just then, a voice came from outside the hall.

"Zhao Xing greets all the seniors, thank you for your support."

The sound was like a spring breeze, blowing into everyone's heart and raising the temperature in the hall a lot.

Everyone stood up, Chu Qianqiu and King Jiao An also restrained their breath and did not continue the fight.

Now that Zhao Xing is here, of course the important thing is business!
The sound came first, and then the figure walked across the outside steps.

"My Lingshan Envoy is here~"

"Zhao Xing, what do you want us to do?"

"Vice President Zhao."

"It's Chen An who's here."

"Hahaha, the Dragon Emperor is coming."

The second-rank ministers of agriculture from various factions who were waiting outside all called Zhao Xing affectionately.

Zhao Xing was stripped of his official position by Emperor Jing, but he still held the honorary title of vice president in the three factions, the actual position of Doctor of Classics, and was the powerful vice president in Shangluo Academy.

Everyone called him Zhao Xing according to their own habits.

Zhao Xing walked over, and a group of second-rank officials called him affectionately, and some even bowed to him.

There is no doubt that this is someone from Kunyuan Academy.

Zhao Xing also returned the gift enthusiastically.

Ji Si was watching from a distance and couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Isn't it an eye-opener to see such a harmonious scene of the three factions of Sinong?

"What a big deal..." Ji Si sighed in her heart.

I'm afraid that even if Li Boqian were here, everyone might just go through the motions and would never be so friendly.

Ji Si only knew that Zhao Xing had written scriptures for the Tianshi School and inherited Li Boqian's unique skills, but she didn't know that he also sent a batch of real dragon blood to the Houbian School every twenty years.

The latter is the most affordable!
As for Kunyuan Academy and Shangluo Academy, there is no need to say more.

"I'm afraid this is the only person in the world who can achieve this." Ji Si thought to herself.

Sure enough, as Zhao Xing stepped into the hall, everyone fell silent.

Although Zhao Xing was only at the second level of Tianyun Realm, everyone knew that this young man would surpass them in the future, not to mention that he had made great contributions to the three sects.

Zhao Xing stood in the middle of the three factions and did not let anyone sit down to avoid arguments based on seniority.

"My dear seniors, I invited you all here because I ran into trouble."

"I found a treasure in a secret place that is beneficial to Si Nong. It is easy to take it, but it is difficult to retreat."

Zhao Xing told about his troubles and bowed to all directions.

"Please give me a hand, seniors."

Xiao Zhe and Tai Shukun immediately expressed their opinions: "If the Holy Son asks, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Chu Qianqiu and Zhuang Danan followed closely behind: "We are here to solve the problem."

Kan Qing also smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of trouble you've encountered, Chen An? Are these people enough?"

"If it's not enough, let Ji Si contact the fate officer outside." King Jiao An said domineeringly: "Use the spare quota as well. It won't be a problem to transfer another hundred or eighty strong men from Xuantian Academy."

Zhao Xing stated his request. He first looked at Chu Qianqiu and Zhuang Danan: "I need one thousand eighth-level fire plants, and they must follow my route in the Hunhuo Desert to facilitate my [Sacred Tree Jump]."

Chu Qianqiu and Zhuang Danan whispered to each other for a while, then nodded: "No problem."

Zhao Xing then looked at Xiao Zhe and Tai Shukun and said, "I need to use the Divine Ship to transport people there as quickly as possible, and change the geographical environment at the planting site so that the eighth-level fire plants of Shangluo Academy can be successfully transplanted and survive."

Xiao Zhe and Tai Shukun nodded: "No problem."

Zhao Xing looked at King Jiao An and Kan Qing again: "I need you two to lead people to the planting and transplanting site to mark out an area. The reason is the same as before, which is to try to maintain the survival time."

"How long will it take?" asked King Jiao An.

"You have to survive for at least six years."

Transplanting the Lihuo Shenlian would definitely take more time than the Longling Bamboo.

If it was just a fire desert, the problem wouldn't be big. The main problem is the fire vortex that could appear at any time and affect survival.

"No problem." King Jiao An waved his hand, "As long as Chu and Zhuang work hard and don't bring out some shabby people, I will guarantee that he and his tree will survive."

"You..." Zhuang Danan was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring, but was stopped by Chu Qianqiu. He remained relatively calm.

Zhao Xing said with a serious expression:
"Seniors, there must be no problems with the retreat route, otherwise I will die."

"Everyone must also retreat in advance after I notify you, otherwise your lives will be in danger!"

Hearing this, everyone's face changed. Even King Jiao An put away his confident look and dared not say anything like "I guarantee your survival" anymore.

"Okay, we will definitely pass on the request."

"Make sure this is done successfully!"

"Don't worry, Chen An."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you all." Zhao Xing bowed to the people around him.

From this day on, forty-two high-level warriors began to coordinate their actions.

When it comes to major issues of right and wrong, all emotional disputes can be put aside. Everyone can still distinguish between what is important and what is not.

The strong ones are very efficient.

The group quickly reached the Hunhuo Desert and began to move according to Zhao Xing's predetermined route.

The main purpose is to transplant eighth-level plants one by one and grow them in the desert, and they must survive without any supervision.

Because they will retreat a month in advance, it is not easy to ensure the survival of these plants in such an extreme environment.

…………

Five years later, after countless plans, Zhao Xing was finally ready.

"receive!"

He cut off the roots of the Fire Lotus, and all the magma and a large amount of fire spiritual energy were swept into the pure Yuan space.

"boom!"

Like Longlingzhu, the self-protection mechanism is triggered.

The moment the Fire Divine Lotus was taken in, it suddenly burst into a golden-red light.

“Boom boom boom boom boom boom~”

The Mount Pengyuan volcano suddenly erupted, and the Nanming Fire rose like a mushroom cloud, splashing around.

Zhao Xing's figure also disappeared at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared under an eighth-level fire tree.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~”

The trees withered one by one, and he used the [Sacred Tree Jump] to teleport quickly away from the volcano.

The surging heat wave seemed to burn everything.

Zhao Xing didn't dare to delay for a moment.

Finally, after a thousand breaths, he left the Pangyuan Desert.

"Out."

Zhao Xing looked back and found that the sky behind him was completely red.

"go!"

Zhao Xing immediately turned into a big roc and left here quickly.

…………

For practitioners who cultivate fire-attributed techniques, the Fire Divine Lotus is a coveted treasure.

It is also a precious treasure that can be used as both a military weapon and medicine.

On medicinal value: Practitioners can quickly improve their fire-attribute skills by absorbing the fire-attribute spiritual energy emitted by the Lihuo Divine Lotus, or directly taking the petals and lotus seeds of the Lihuo Divine Lotus.

The power of the Fire Divine Lotus is pure and powerful. It can help practitioners break through the bottleneck of cultivation, improve their realm, and even enable practitioners to comprehend more advanced fire-attributed techniques.

In the field of alchemy, the Fire Lotus is also an extremely precious material. The pills made with the Fire Lotus have powerful medicinal effects, such as strengthening the practitioner's physique, repairing damaged meridians, and improving the practitioner's vitality.

In terms of military attributes, Lihuo Shenlian possesses three talents.

Fire protection master:

The lotus leaves of the Lihuo Divine Lotus have strong fire resistance, and even the Nanming Lihuo cannot burn them. It can be said to be the ceiling of the fire-proof world.

Nine Leaves Fire:

The nine petals of the divine lotus can all emit the Nanming Lihuo. When all nine petals move together, it becomes the [Nanming Lihuo Field].

Lotus root remodeling:

The entire sacred lotus can recreate a volcano. Its rhizome, which is the lotus root part, is an excellent material for the Straw Man Spell. Even if the Straw Man Spell is not used, it can preserve the soul for a very long time.

"The Lihuo Divine Lotus is good at both offense and defense, and can also be used as material for clones. When I reach the Rule Realm, it will be difficult to create a clone in the Rule Realm at that time, but the Lihuo Divine Lotus happens to be the material."

Zhao Xing sat cross-legged on the ground with a smile on his face.

Like the Dragon Spirit Bamboo, the automatic protection mechanism of the Fire God Lotus also started to play tricks after it entered the pure Yuan soil.

But just like last time, it became obedient after being hit by the tender shoots of the Moyun vine and emitted a purple-black light.

"The treasures of spring and summer are already in hand, it's time to go out." Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

It is now the 76th year of Yongzhi, and there is not enough time. The remaining treasures in the Dragon Court will have to wait until next time to be explored.

However, it took only sixteen years to obtain two wild treasure-level plants, which is extremely efficient.

Other ministers of agriculture might not be able to inherit a precious plant in their entire lives, let alone Zhao Xing, who had top-grade stuff.

There is no better treasure plant army than these in spring and summer.

The other sacred trees of Dragon Court in spring and summer are all behind the Lihuo Divine Lotus and the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

Another year passed, and Zhao Xing collected some common treasure-level materials, such as dragon crystal marrow, and left the ancient land of Longting ahead of time.

"Shang Tang's order!"

Zhao Xing summoned the ancient Yin warship to take him out.

He walked out of the underworld again and did not choose to return to Tianyongzhou.

Instead, it came directly from the East China Sea.

The reason for stopping here is because Zhao Xing sensed that the thousand-year change predicted long ago was about to happen.

"Whoosh~"

Zhao Xing's figure appeared in an unfamiliar area of ​​the East China Sea, and then flew towards his destination.

"In the 20th year of the Jingxin calendar, the three mountains that were used for divination using the ten-thousand-year-old black tortoise shell were discovered to be a base of the Xuantian Sect. However, it has not appeared in the world for a long time. I didn't expect that the error would be more than a hundred years."

"The art of fortune-telling is not 100% reliable after all."

Zhao Xing flew to the target sea area, and he quickly saw the three peaks through the sea water.

At this time, the three peaks are gradually rising. Originally they were in the sea thousands of meters below, but now part of the mountain peaks have emerged to form a small island.

"Every moment is growing, and the changes in heaven and earth are gathering momentum." Zhao Xing looked out at the world in all directions.

Through his divine perception, he could discover that the world within a thousand miles seemed to be accumulating some kind of energy.

“The millennial climate change is large in scope and diverse in types.”

"First, we can perfect the Zulong Transformation, and second, we can try to make many plants accept the transformation."

"There are so many level 7 plants. Even if they all die, I won't feel bad. If I can get a mutant, it will be a huge profit!"

A millennium climate change is rare, it only appears once in a thousand years, how hard can you wait?
It is the Wanhua Cave Heaven, where climate change can be controlled, but the thousand-year level one has to wait until the Emperor Wu period.

"According to this trend, it will happen in a month at most." Zhao Xing dispatched his clones to begin blockading this area of ​​sea.

Half a month later, the three mountains had already emerged to a height of one thousand meters and were still growing.

"It's just like the Lingshan Dharma." Zhao Xing observed and seemed to understand something.

People nurture the mountains, and of course heaven and earth naturally nurture the mountains.

There are things in common between the two. Zhao Xing's observation of the growth of the Three Mountains will also be of great benefit to his breakthrough into the Fate Palace realm.

He used mountain methods to cultivate his heavenly realm, and there were not many things that could be touched by it.

Ten days later, there were only five days left until the climate change occurred.

At this time, the sea surface still looked calm, except for the three mountains which were already three thousand meters high.

"Why do I feel that these three mountains seem to have traces of human care?" The more Zhao Xing looked, the stranger he felt.

It makes sense to say that he was raised by the Blood Spirit Venerable of the Xuantian Sect.

Because the Xuantian Sect is actually a split part of the ancient Xuantian Divine Sect.

The other part entered the Great Zhou and went ashore to become the Xuantian Academy.

According to the female Si Nong who tried to assassinate him in Mingyue Mansion, the Si Nong of Shangluo Academy in ancient times was a slave who farmed the land, so in their eyes, the Dili Faction must be similar.

It is normal for people from Xuantian Sect to know mountain techniques.

"But what realm is Venerable Blood Spirit at? He should be at the third rank, or at most the second rank? Can he artificially create three mountains that are ready to go, and trigger a thousand-year climate change?"

Zhao Xing felt very strange and had a vague sense of crisis.

As time goes by, there is only the third to last day left.

A strange feeling, a faint sense of crisis lingering in my heart, is growing stronger.

"Someone is spying on me?" Zhao Xing suddenly shuddered and looked up sharply.

"Huh? You are just a mere Tianyun realm, but you actually have some skills." An ethereal voice came from all directions.

"What?!" Zhao Xing was immediately shocked, "Is there really someone?"

At this moment, petals floated past Zhao Xing's eyes. There were more and more petals, as if petals were raining from the sky.

There was a woman with fluttering sleeves and wearing colorful robes, descending from the sky on a road made of flower petals.

"What? It's her! How come her power emerged so early?!" Zhao Xing was shocked when he saw the woman appear.

"Who are you? Judging from your expression, you seem to know me." The mysterious girl was holding a basket and looking Zhao Xing up and down.
