Chapter 334: The Thunder Sword, the Ship of the Earth Realm, the Dameng Academy!
"I have also heard of this treasure you mentioned." Ji Che said, "It is said that it has been completely lost. I don't know where it has ended up."

"I was fortunate enough to obtain some ancient books from the Li Dynasty in the East China Sea. Perhaps I can look for them."

Ji Che couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "The world is so vast, and the greatest treasure is invisible and formless. Where is the Minister of Agriculture going to find it? It's better not to put this energy on it."

Zhao Xing still did not give up: "I heard that the late emperor once summoned royal craftsmen to crack some unsolved crafts, among which there are many treasures from the Li Dynasty."

"The late emperor once allowed me to select treasures from the imperial palace treasury,"

"It is true. My ancestors are from a family of mechanical engineers, and my great grandfather was a genius of the time."

"In the early days of Yuanshou, I also summoned a group of royal craftsmen to do this. At the beginning, I was full of expectations, but there have been no results in the past few decades."

Ji Che sighed.

As the richest and largest landowner in the world, the Ji royal family received countless treasures as tribute from all over the country every year.

Many of them are expensive treasures with clear value, all of which are stored in the Yuanchen Treasury of the imperial palace.

But more of them are strange treasures of unknown value.

For example, the tribute paid by the sea creatures from all over the world to the emperor adhered to two principles: novelty and large quantity.

The emperor had seen everything, so the first thing he had to do was to satisfy his curiosity.

If it really doesn't work, order more to show your sincerity.

In fact, the aquatic people are also very cunning. It is not easy to give away treasures with clear value. If they give too little, they are afraid that the emperor will be unhappy, and if they give too much, they will feel the pain.

But paying tribute according to the principles of novelty and large quantity is equivalent to giving a blind box to the emperor.

I said that the value of this thing might be comparable to rare treasures. Although the possibility is small, it would sound good when I report it!

So the palace’s treasury is divided into two treasuries.

One is the Yuanchen Treasury, which has a clear value and basically contains precious treasures. The emperor usually uses it to reward his ministers.

For example, Emperor Jing gave Zhao Xing three chances to choose treasures, and they went to the Yuanchen Treasury.

The second is Yuanfengku, which is a huge treasure blind box field.

Many people come in every year, and many are eliminated.

The royal family also understands this routine. Paying tribute is just to show an attitude. Isn't it a way to exploit the subjects to put a clear price on it?

How could an emperor behave like this?
It’s true. Emperor Jing often did this.

During his reign, the volume of goods purchased by Yuanchen Warehouse was greater than that of Yuanfeng Warehouse.

However, during the reign of Emperor Wu, tributes from the Shui nationalities, vassal states, and secondary tribes (a general term for the surrendered groups from the Southern Barbarians, Dongying, and Xijizhou) were restored to be paid mainly from the Yuanfeng Treasury, supplemented by the Yuanchen Treasury.

Not to mention that there are indeed quite a few ancient artifacts. Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu summoned royal craftsmen and cracked open many sealed treasures.

But Ji Che’s standards are too high, and he doesn’t look down on ordinary treasures, so he doesn’t care about the blind boxes opened by Yuanfengku.

When he first became emperor, he was very enthusiastic and summoned a large number of mechanical engineers to do the work.

In particular, he also invested a lot of energy in several decryption projects left by Emperor Jing.

But gradually I lost interest.

There's no point in always winning a dollar or two.

So when Zhao Xing mentioned the treasure of the Nightmare Sect of the ancient Li Dynasty, he certainly knew that this thing was good, but what was the problem? He had to find it.

"Taizu once said that all the talents in the world are in my pocket. Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. I believe that treasures have spirits and belong to those with virtue. They must have been in your Majesty's pocket a long time ago!"

Ji Che waved his hand in a disinterested manner. He thought Zhao Xing had some good ideas. "Brother, if you want to visit the Royal Treasury, you don't need to find a reason. Just go if you want to."

"You are the Minister of Agriculture. If you find something good that will benefit the country, you can move it to the treasury."

Zhao Xing said that he had obtained the ancient books of the Li Dynasty, but Ji Che did not take it seriously. How could he know more than the historian?

In his opinion, Zhao Xing had just become the Minister of Agriculture and wanted to try something new. Now that he was in charge of the national treasury, he wanted to take a look at the royal treasury.

"Okay, I'll go take a look then." Zhao Xing saw Ji Che resume his casual chatting state, and he no longer called him "Your Majesty" all the time.

"It's just right. I'll stop by and visit my elder sister." Ji Che stood up and strolled in the palace with Zhao Xing.

"You're about to get married, I don't know what kind of temper you'll have."

"What's wrong with the princess?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.

"She insisted that Liu Tianning pick some Ice and Fire Lotus or Sky and Sea Pearl for her... These are all legendary things. Where can Liu Tianning find them for her?"

Ji Che complained: "I've only heard of these things. She was desperate when she couldn't get married before, but now that she can get married as she wished, she's making a fuss again. I'm really convinced. Tell me what's going on in her mind?"

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "People always feel happy when they are close to success, but they become anxious about gains and losses after they actually achieve success."

Ji Che curled his lips: "I think she is just old..."

"Ji Che!! Who are you talking about?!"

When passing by Yonghua Palace, a colorful ribbon suddenly flew out from the palace and tied up Ji Che.

"Ah, big sister! I mean, Prime Minister Tong's daughter..."

"Whoosh~"

With a flash of ribbons, Ji Che was dragged into the palace.

"The emperor can still be suppressed by his bloodline." Zhao Xing muttered in his heart and quickly flew away from Yonghua Palace.

……

The imperial palace treasury was divided into Yuanchen treasury and Yuanfeng treasury.

Among them, the scale of Yuanfeng Warehouse is a thousand times larger than that of Yuanchen Warehouse.

It was even built with fragments of small worlds and used as storage space.

However, the craftsmen in the Xuanhuang Realm are not very skilled when it comes to handling such materials.

Basically, the size of the small world fragment itself is the same as its size in the Xuanhuang Realm. It is impossible to cut it into the size of a palm and still have a large space, and make it into a Qiankun bag and carry it with you.

When Zhao Xing arrived at the area where Yuanfeng Warehouse was located, he saw many palaces arranged in an orderly manner.

The palaces are just for embellishing the entrances to the small world fragments and generally don't really hold anything.

The situation inside was the same as when Zhao Xing entered the Dragon King Yin Xiu's treasury.

"The Great Dream Palace should have been studied during the reign of Emperor Jing, but the researchers did not know whether it was the Great Dream Palace or not."

"The Great Dream Academy itself is a space-based treasure. It is already comparable to a world-wide Taoist soldier. It is impossible for it to be placed in a small world."

"There are ten treasure halls in the Yuanfengku area. If the Daming Academy has been studied, then it must be in the ten treasure halls." Zhao Xing flew south in the direction indicated.

In each of the ten treasure halls, there is a group of royal craftsmen who specialize in studying unsolved treasures.

The palaces are big and small, and some are very big.

Zhao Xing came to the first hall - the Hall of Divine Weapons.

"Yang Jin, the chief forger of the Divine Weapon Palace, greets the Grand Minister of Agriculture."

A mechanical engineer in the late stage of the Fate Palace Realm.

However, Yang Jin is a forger of divine weapons (Taoist weapons) in the occupational classification of mechanical engineers.

The blacksmith's combat effectiveness is not strong, it can even be said to be weak.

Yang Jin is even weaker than before.

He was a powerful man in the Fate Palace Realm, but he had dark circles under his eyes, lack of energy and blood, and dry and yellow hair, like a dandy who was hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

"Master Yang, do you follow the blood forging method?" Zhao Xing asked in surprise.

"As you can see, my body is hollowed out by the weapons, which is why I look like this." Yang Jin said with a wry smile. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed the Minister of Agriculture."

"Sir, it's time for you to take your medicine." Just then, a servant came over carrying a large box of tonic.

"Can't you see I'm talking to the Minister of Agriculture? Drink later!" Yang Jin glared at the servant.

"Your health is more important." Zhao Xing advised, "I'm just taking a look. Lord Yang, please eat and drink... bring it over."

"Yes." The servant immediately brought the food box over.

Zhao Xing took the food box and smelled it: "Master Yang's blood forging flow, which part of the body is the main essence of the sacrifice?"

"Reporting to the Grand Minister of Agriculture, I am practicing the Five Internal Organs and Five Spirits Military Training Method." Yang Jin replied, "The five qi of the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs, I have already practiced to the 'heart training' level."

"You have spent a lot of effort to forge it, so you need to supplement your food to reduce the damage." Zhao Xing opened the layers of food boxes: "The quality of these foods is a bit low, and they are not completely replenishing."

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, the treatment His Majesty has given me is already very good. These are all eighth-grade ingredients. There is also a nourishing day every month when I can eat ninth-grade ingredients. I can't always eat precious treasures." Yang Jin explained.

Zhao Xing was in charge of finance and knew that this person was treated well.

The treatment of Yang Jin was provided by Emperor Wu, because they were private soldiers of the Ji royal family and were not paid from public funds or the national treasury.

Even if he wanted to give Yang Jin some help, he couldn't.

However, he still advised: “Master Yang, practice the blood forging method, sacrifice the soldiers with blood, and you can also break the soldiers with your heart blood.”

"But we shouldn't do it too often. The world is experiencing a vital energy tide right now, and Si Nong will be able to expand the scale of treasure-level plants soon."

"The precious sacred tree has blossomed and borne fruit, and the level of the food supplement method will also be improved. Sir Yang does not need to rush if he wants to achieve something."

Yang Jin bowed and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Grand Minister of Agriculture. I will keep it in mind."

"You eat first, I'll just take a look."

"Yes."

Yang Jin swallowed the supplements quickly, while Zhao Xing wandered around the Divine Weapon Hall.

There are many magical weapons on display in the hall.

Half of them have clear values, which means that the craftsmen know that this is a powerful magic weapon, probably at the treasure level or rare treasure level.

However, they are very old and the forging methods are different. Some of them have very powerful evil spirits, while others have sword spirits that are difficult to erase.

Some even have very strange usage requirements, like the blood-red rapier in front of Zhao Xing, which was locked between two Xuanming Pillars.

"The Divine Sword Jueyang is presumably of the peerless treasure level, with extremely powerful effects. There is a sword spirit inside the sword that can assist in controlling the Jueyang Sword. It comes with a sixth-order wind-breaking field, and it also has a set of small thousand sword formations."

"But its sword spirit has a strange requirement for use." The attendant next to him introduced. "The user must be a male, and a male with a disabled body."

Just as he was speaking, the shadow of a woman in ancient costume suddenly appeared on the sword. She had a seductive look on her face and stared at Zhao Xing.

"If you want to use this sword, you must castrate yourself! With me, you can become the world's top swordsman!"

Zhao Xing: "..."

It turns out to be such an incomplete method.

"Yao Yue! You dare to offend the Minister of Agriculture? You are seeking death!" Yang Jin, who came rushing over after hearing the noise, shouted loudly and immediately pulled the mechanism on the Xuanming Pillar.

"Boom!"

A bolt of black lightning suddenly hit the sword spirit Yaoyue.

"Ah~~"

Yao Yue let out a charming cry and immediately returned to the sword.

The servant next to him had a dazed look on his face, and it was obvious that his mind was affected by the sword spirit.

"Move back a little." Yang Jin immediately pulled the servant away. The latter's greedy eyes suddenly cleared up, and then he bowed in shame and left.

"Grand Minister, this sword is extremely evil and difficult to tame." Yang Jin said, "Even the Xuanming Thunder attack just now didn't actually hurt her."

"She is one with the Yang Jue Sword. Judging from the current situation, if we want to erase this sword spirit, the Yang Jue Sword will be destroyed along with it."

Zhao Xing said: "Why don't we just follow her request?"

Although the conditions for castration are cruel, Zhao Xing believes that there are still many kendo warriors who are willing to sacrifice the happiness of their lower body for this magic sword.

"Grand Minister, I just said that what the female sword spirit said was all lies." Yang Jin said in a deep voice, "We selected people who volunteered to participate in the experiment, and they did show the power of the magic sword at the beginning."

"But not long after, this person gradually went crazy, and his essence and blood were sucked away. If he hadn't been discovered in time, he would have been sucked dry."

"It is indeed a sword that harms people." Zhao Xing nodded, "Has King Luohou ever tried it?"

King Rāhu is a true super-first-class master. What will happen if he wields this sword?

Yang Jin shook his head: "Even if King Luohou can suppress this rare treasure, he cannot unleash its full power."

“Besides, King Luohou is used to using arrows. When the Yangjue Sword is suppressed, its only advantage is its hardness. Otherwise, it would be worse than a treasure-level divine weapon.”

Zhao Xing also understood that it was impossible to use it, but it would be a pity to destroy it. He wanted to preserve the quality of this rare treasure without paying a price. This became Yang Jin's focus.

"What a hatred and resentment! Could this be a female swordsmith who was betrayed by her lover?"

Hearing such a request, Zhao Xing naturally imagined a bloody love drama.

He squinted and looked through the sword.

The female sword spirit inside the sword, wearing a bright red robe, also looked over.

She smiled sweetly and put her index finger into her scarlet lips and licked it.

Then she lifted her robe to reveal her shoulders, and moved her right hand downward, panting with a seductive expression.

"Hmph, a mere trifle!" Zhao Xing snorted coldly, and the soul in the Three Gods' Palace of Fate suddenly opened his eyes.

With a flash of golden light, a soul spear pierced towards the Yang Jue Sword.

"what--"

This time the female sword spirit really screamed.

She knelt on the ground, covering her head. The red clothes on her body disappeared, the charm was gone, and her face was full of pain.

When Zhao Xing took a look, he realized that the woman was covered with bruises, and there were two horrible scratches on her face and chest.

Zhao Xing tried to talk to her: "Why do you set such harsh rules?"

"Hehe, hehe~" The female sword spirit had disheveled hair and did not reply. She just stared at Zhao Xing and sneered.

laugh?
Mr. Zhao doesn't spoil her.

"clang!"

The Soul-Devouring Spear pierced through the Yang Jue Sword again.

"what--"

The sword spirit let out another shrill cry.

Zhao Xing tried it twice and found that as he attacked, the Yang Jue Sword was indeed undergoing some changes.

If the sword spirit dies, the Yang Jue Sword will also die and will become just an ordinary treasure.

"Can we detain her? Never mind. It's meaningless. If she leaves the sword body, the effect will be the same."

"Let's leave it to Yang Jin and the others to research."

Zhao Xing didn't stay for long and continued walking around.

Everything in the Divine Weapon Hall that has a clear value basically has various restrictions that are difficult to accept.

In addition to the Yang Jue Sword, Zhao Xing also saw magical weapons in the shapes of knives, spears, shields, and daggers.

Some evil spirits are extremely strong and the user will lose their mind due to the evil spirits, and even a person of the first level of life palace realm will find it difficult to control it.

And if it is the realm of rules, there is no need to use such a treasure-level magic weapon.

Some lack a certain inheritance, such as a treasure called the 'Ghost Sword', which was created by the ancient sect Mingshen Sect and requires the Mingshen Sect's mental method to control it.

But the Dark God Sect has already been extinct, where can we find the core secret technique?
"When forgers design certain magic weapons, they always set some strange requirements. The only ones who can break them are Yang Jin and his friends who are also forgers."

"Breaking it violently will damage its quality." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The other half has uncertain value, but exhibits the characteristics of artifacts in some aspects.

Zhao Xing took a look and found that the number was not small.

For example, the black sword he now holds has an extremely black blade, and there is a slight numb feeling when the hand touches it.

"Master Yang, what does this sword say?"

"We have tested it many times and found that it has no special properties except that it is hard."

Zhao Xing asked: "It is indestructible. Logically, it must be a rare treasure."

Yang Jin was also puzzled: "Yes, it is indeed rare to have such a special feature. But it does not pass through the vital energy and cannot be controlled."

"Those who use swords are usually from the Sword Sect. If the Yuan Qi cannot be transmitted, then the Sword Qi cannot be emitted. Sword Qi is an important means of attack for Sword Sect warriors."

"Sword energy is like a rainbow, which can increase the range of sword moves."

"Without the energy, it also cannot be controlled by the sword. It can only be held in the hand by the physical body."

Zhao Xing tried it and found that after his vital energy was absorbed, it sank into the sea and could not be lifted up.

No matter what means are used to control the vital energy, as long as the essence is formed by vital energy, neither magic nor martial arts can make it fly.

Zhao Xing's mind moved, and a stream of spiritual energy suddenly emerged from his body.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared on the sword and hit a wall in front.

"boom!"

A large charred hole appeared.

Yang Jin was shocked: "This, this... Grand Minister of Agriculture, how did you do this?"

Zhao Xing controlled his sword, and the black sword moved around his body. After trying it for a while, Zhao Xing held it in his hand.

"This is a Thunder Spirit Sword." Zhao Xing pondered, "Its blade is compressed from pure thunder, and the magic circle on the hilt requires spiritual energy to drive it."

"It's a magic sword, not for warriors. It should be a star-level Taoist weapon."

Seeing Yang Jin asking, Zhao Xing smiled and said, "It is a magic sword, you can call it the Thunder Magic Sword, it is not used by warriors."

"You don't need to study it. I'll take it away. I'll tell His Majesty about it."

"Yes." Yang Jin listened obediently. Zhao Xing wanted to take a sword, so of course he didn't dare to say anything.

"To wield this sword, one point of spiritual energy equals one point of power."

"This is the result of my many years of research on Xuan Huang Xi Yuan Shu. When Yang Jin and his team were doing research, they might not be able to exert even one point of power out of ten parts of spiritual energy. It was a sheer waste."

The Thunder Sword requires spiritual energy to activate. There is no point in telling them before the spiritual energy is revived on a large scale.

"I don't know what grade the Thunderbolt Sword is." Zhao Xing couldn't accurately determine its grade, but he roughly judged that it was a Star Dao Soldier. "Let's study it later."

After a round of walking, he found that there was nothing interesting in the Divine Weapon Hall, so he flew away immediately.

Enter the second treasure hall, named [Treasure Ship Hall].

Inside was a rusty, enclosed warship.

It is fifty meters high and one kilometer long. The warship is dark black all over. At this time, there are only a dozen mechanical engineers conducting daily research.

"Ji Gan, the chief royal engineer of the Treasure Ship Palace, greets the Minister of Agriculture."

A middle-aged man in a thousand-thread robe hurried over with two assistants. "I didn't know the Grand Minister of Agriculture was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me."

Ji Gan? I have never heard of this name, but this person is in the late stage of the Palace of Life. The power within the Ji royal family is obviously extraordinary. Any chief mechanical engineer in the palace is in the late stage of the Palace of Life.

"It's okay. I just felt like coming here on a whim. I just came to take a look." Zhao Xing waved his hand.

"Please give the Grand Minister of Agriculture some advice. Our Treasure Ship Palace once... clang!" Ji Gan led Zhao Xing a few steps. Before he finished speaking, a small diamond-shaped object fell out of his sleeve, making a crisp sound.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, this is my personal mechanical treasure, the Thousand Clever Ruler." Ji Gan calmly put away the treasure.

Zhao Xing nodded and said Qianqiao ruler, also known as Qianqiao ruler.

It is from the Wuliangjizi magic weapon series, which can be large or small, and is said to be able to pry open all locks.

It is even possible to allow the ruler to drill into a place the size of a pore and check the internal situation.

"The Treasure Ship Division mainly studies various strange warships and flying boats. Some of them are very old and their craftsmanship is very different from modern ones."

"Grand Minister, please take a look. This is a fully enclosed warship. Its exterior is rusted, but this rust is from the ten thousand year old black iron mother."

"It would take at least a million years for the ten thousand year old black iron to rust naturally. Of course, it is also possible that it was eroded by some gold rule or magic... Ding Ding Dong!"

Ji Gan was introducing it, but before he had taken a few steps, another hammer fell down.

Zhao Xing looked down and saw Ji Gan picking up the treasure awkwardly and holding it in his hand: "As you can see, this is also a treasure of my mechanical master, called Liangyi Hammer."

"Magic spells are divided into yin and yang, and materials naturally have yin and yang as well. Sometimes, if you want to break the magic array restriction of a treasure, you can knock on it and find out the material structure inside through the magic array."

"Then we can crack it in a targeted manner... clang-dang!"

Once again, it wasn't just Ji Gan who was falling. The tools of the two people next to him also fell to the ground.

Even a jade pendant fell from Zhao Xing's body.

"Ok?"

Zhao Xing was quick-witted and quick-handed, and used his vital energy to hold on to the jade pendant.

The jade pendant on his body was an accessory for the Grand Minister of Agriculture's daily wear. It was embroidered with cloud patterns and had an ink-black appearance, but when held to light, one could see that the ink was tinged with green.

The black bamboo jade pendant is a ninth-rank treasure. How could it fall off suddenly without me noticing?

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, we..." Ji Gan was at a loss.

"Okay, you don't need to explain, I understand." Zhao Xing waved his hand and looked at the rusty warship. "Will all non-living things that approach this ship automatically fall?"

"Yes." Ji Gan nodded, "That's right. Fifty years ago, we didn't know who touched a certain mechanism, and then all the mechanical devices close to it would automatically fall down."

"This strange phenomenon has been going on for fifty years, and we have never been able to figure it out."

Ji Gan and his deputy beside him felt a little ashamed. For fifty years, there had been no progress in the research. It was really embarrassing that such a situation occurred when the Grand Minister of Agriculture came to inspect.

Zhao Xing held the jade pendant and walked forward step by step. He found that the closer he got, the heavier the jade pendant became.

When he got within fifty meters, he even had to burst into anger and enter a fighting state to keep his clothes neat and tidy. Otherwise, everything would fall to the ground.

"Soul Vision!"

In Zhao Xing's Three Gods Palace, his soul suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the dark warship.

Soul's Divine Vision is the first level of the Ultimate Technique. Zhao Xing successfully mastered it not long after he constructed the Three Gods Palace.

From a high vantage point, it is relatively easy to master the ultimate magic of the first transformation method with a soul in the realm of rules. From the 81st to the 82nd year of Yuanshou, Zhao Xing easily got into the door.

"I didn't expect that there is a core component of the Earth Realm Ship here?" Zhao Xing looked carefully.

The rusty exteriors of the warships turned into mountains in his eyes.

The earth veins are fluctuating. This is a very profound earth vein fluctuation!
Therefore, Zhao Xing judged that this was a component of a world-class star-level warship, and a core component at that.

"Lord Ji, I suggest that you should find something else to study and forget about this." Zhao Xing turned around and said.

"What do you mean, Grand Minister of Agriculture?" Ji Gan was stunned.

"This object is from outer space. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the vehicle of a Si Nong of the Dili faction, named the Boat of the Earth." Zhao Xing held the jade pendant in his hand and pointed at the rusty hull.

"When you get close to the Earth Boundary Ship, you'll see items drop. This is because the magic array engraved on the warship has the same effect as the earth's veins, or perhaps its once complete hull has merged with a powerful vein."

“It’s just one component of it, but it’s also an independent, enclosed component.”

"Even if you study it for billions of years, you won't be able to crack it."

Zhao Xing retreated beyond the range of fifty meters and returned to a distance where he would not be affected.

"The ship of the earth?" Ji Gan and his two deputies were immediately skeptical.

Especially the two deputies. When Zhao Xing said that they might not be able to crack it even after billions of years, they were even more unwilling to admit defeat.

Although Zhao Xing was the Minister of Agriculture, he was still a layman in the ways of government.

How can an outsider dare to make such a conclusion?
"Ji Gan, you should know my experience." Zhao Xing said, "Listen to my advice, don't waste your life on this."

Most high-ranking officials had heard about Zhao Xing's inheritance.

But not everyone knows the details.

Some people don't even know the three words "Qing Yu Zi", and only know the three words "Tian Wai Ke". It's like reading a court newspaper, and they only understand a few words.

Ji Gan knew a little more. He not only knew Qing Yuzi, but also knew that Qing Yuzi was a powerful Tianshi faction Sinong in the universe.

Then what Zhao Xing said is highly credible.

"The ship of the earth realm, the ship of the earth realm..." Ji Gan muttered to himself, "The warship formation, integrated with an earth vein, what kind of skill is this."

Zhao Xing's words brought him a great shock.

At this moment, Ji Gan couldn't help but feel a strong desire: the universe is so big, I want to go and see it!

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, it cannot be cracked by mechanical means, is there any other way?" Ji Gan asked, "How much do you know about the Underworld Ship? Can you tell us about it?"

Ji Gan is over 600 years old, and his deputies are about the same age. At this moment, they all look like children who have just started school, with curiosity in their eyes.

Zhao Xing originally wanted to just take a look and leave, as he was going to find the Daming Academy.

But now, more than a dozen mechanical masters had gathered around him, all staring at him eagerly.

"Okay, sit down first." Zhao Xing smiled.

"Come, come here and listen to what the Minister of Agriculture says." Ji Gan immediately called everyone over and they all sat on the ink barrel.

Zhao Xing said: "Then I will just say a few words."

……

Two hours later, Zhao Xing walked out of the Treasure Ship Hall.

Seeing everyone's reluctant eyes, Zhao Xing couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "No wonder leaders like to hold meetings and speak for hours."

"Looking at the eager eyes below, it's hard not to be obsessed with the meeting."

Ji Gan and the others are not pretending, but there is no guarantee that there won’t be people in other places who pretend to like it.

"We must learn from this." Zhao Xing flew to the next location.

Ji Gan watched Zhao Xing leave and was also very emotional.

He and his colleagues all felt that their worldview had been refreshed.

Even if Zhao Xing described the Earth Ship from the perspective of a user and experiencer rather than a creator, it was enough to make them yearn for it!
"The lowest level of the Earth Realm Ship is as big as a Pinghaizhou? The fused earth veins are all at the level of 19 states?"

"The defense of the Earth Realm Ship is invincible. Any attack will be distorted and deflected by the power of the Earth's origin. It is surprising that it can achieve such a level..."

"Even if we are captured, we can land on the ship of the earth realm without taking any magic weapons with us? This is a huge advantage. It's really a brilliant idea!"

“Ascension, I really want to ascend and go out to have a look!”

During these two hours, Ji Gan and others had a deep impression of the Earth Realm Boat, and their desire to ascend to heaven became stronger.

Originally, when Emperor Wu said that the ancient divine dynasty broke through the sky and ascended to heaven, many people thought it was just general talk. However, when Zhao Xing told him about these two hours, just the description of the boat in the earth realm was enough to make them believe that there really is a beautiful and magnificent world outside the sky.

Breaking through the air and ascending to heaven is no longer an empty concept, but a concrete benefit!

"After listening to my two-hour class, Ji Gan and the others will probably become firm believers in the Ascension Party."

"It's worth the two hours I spent talking about the universe version of the expansion pack." Zhao Xing recalled the expressions of Ji Gan and the others and couldn't help but smile.

It is said that there are many benefits for him to be the Minister of Agriculture. With this effect, Emperor Wu’s slogans for several years are not as good as Mr. Zhao’s two hours of speech.

"Having said that, the Xuanhuang Realm really has a lot of treasures. All the parts of the Earth Realm's boat have fallen in. I wonder how many more have been overlooked in the previous life." Zhao Xing said secretly.

"It's a pity that it's just a part and can't fly at all. If it was a complete ship of the earth realm, I would be able to break through the realm and ascend now."

A complete Earth Realm Ship is, of course, a Realm Star-level Taoist soldier.

However, looking at this part, it should have wandered in the void of the universe for countless years, and was eventually captured by the origin of the Xuanhuang Realm and fell into this realm.

"The universe is a dark ocean, and the worlds and stars are isolated islands. The wind of the void washes over the waves, and some things are swept up to the islands. I'm afraid there are still many good things in the Xuanhuang Realm."

"I have to set up a special team in the future. Before ascending, I have to plunder the Xuanhuang Realm and bring more capital to explore."

After running through two palaces, I found two good things. Among them, the quality of the Earth Realm Boat was even at the level of a realm soldier!
Although it is incomplete, it proves that there are many good things in the Xuanhuang Realm.

…………

After looking at several palaces in succession, Zhao Xing soon found the location of the Daming Academy.

It is not placed inside the Ten Great Palaces, but stands in the [Palace Type] treasure area.

"That's it." Zhao Xing landed and looked at the ancient palace in front of him.

"Its style is similar to the Tiangong Hall where the mechanical beast Xiezhi is located."

A Dream of Heaven and Earth is its original name, and it belongs to the palace category of treasures.

But at this time, no one can enter it.

There are four smaller houses on the four sides of the palace.

One of the rooms was filled with ancient books, all of which were records of Li Chao.

"The Imperial Palace's Chief Mechanical Engineer 'Hong Yuan'."

"The Imperial Palace's Second Chief Mechanical Engineer, Su Li."

"Meet the Grand Minister of Agriculture."

There are two more Fate Palace Realm mechanical masters.

"You two adults, please don't be polite."

Zhao Xing glanced at Hong Yuan and Su Li.

Hong Yuan stood tall and straight, like a pine tree, wrapped in a black robe with intricate and exquisite mechanical patterns embroidered with silver thread. The patterns sparkled with a mysterious luster under the light.

His hair was as black as ink, neatly tied behind his head and secured with a jade hairpin carved with the look of a mechanical gear.

His face has clear contours, and his lips are slightly thin under his high nose bridge, giving people the impression of being taciturn.

As the chief of the imperial palace, Hong Yuan is the highest-ranking royal craftsman.

He was responsible for the operation of the magic array of the entire palace, and was also responsible for designing the most important mechanisms and facilities.

Hong Yuan was not originally here to study the palace. He just received news that the Minister of Agriculture Zhao Xing had arrived at the Yuanfeng Warehouse, so he hurried here to wait.

The person who is actually responsible for the research is Su Li.

This female engineer has a petite figure, and she is wearing a lavender gauze dress with fluttering sleeves, like a fairy descending to earth.

The gauze dress was decorated with some small mechanical parts-style accessories, which made slight jingling sounds as she moved, adding a bit of liveliness to her.

Her hair falls on both sides of her shoulders like a waterfall, with a few delicate purple flowers in her hair, which complements her gauze dress. Her face is round and cute, with a pair of big watery eyes. Her nose is small and straight, her lips are rosy, and when she smiles, she reveals two shallow dimples, which makes her look particularly sweet.

When Zhao Xing looked at her, she also looked at this legendary figure in the Ministry of Agriculture with curiosity.

"Grand Minister, I didn't expect you to be so good-looking." Su Li praised.

"Ahem...Su Li, please don't be rude." Why did Hong Yuan come? This is the reason.

Most of the people who concentrate on researching the institutions are relatively simple. He was afraid that Su Li would not be able to handle the task of welcoming and seeing off guests, as she rarely left the palace.

Who knows what kind of temper Zhao Xing has? What if we offend him?

"I'm telling the truth." Su Li said.

"Hahaha, thank you Lord Su for your compliment." Zhao Xing didn't think Su Li was trying to please him on purpose. He had a soul that could see through Su Li's mind at the early stage of the Fate Palace Realm.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, why are you here?" Su Li asked another question when she saw that Zhao Xing was easy to talk to.

Normally, Hong Yuan was here, so why should she ask? But she simply ignored Hong Yuan and just wanted to chat with the handsome Da Si Nong!

"Oh, I just came here to take a look on the orders of His Majesty. I heard that these are all treasures left by the Li Dynasty?" Zhao Xing asked, pointing around.

"Yes, Li Chao has a lot of treasures." Su Li said with a smile: "Can I take you for a look?"

"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Su and Lord Hong." Zhao Xing smiled and nodded.

There is no need to rush for a while. Now that you are here, you have to pretend. It would be too much to discover the secret of the Dream Academy in the first second.

So, under the guidance of Hong Yuan and Su Li, Zhao Xing traveled around the surrounding areas for three days.

Finally, Zhao Xing found an excuse and decided to stay there for a few more days, so he settled down next to the "Yimeng Tiandi" palace.

"The room is full of records about Li Chao, but there is no mention of how to enter the One Dream World."

"I'm afraid it's because Li Chao's Li Xiu used a method to forget worries, or a method to silence people, so no records were passed down." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"It's almost time for me to go in. I'm the Minister of Agriculture now, so I don't need to pretend too much."

Zhao Xing drew a talisman, closed his eyes, and entered the Daming Academy.

There are two types of entry permissions in the Dameng Academy. One is like Zhao Xing, where only the soul can enter but not the person, and is considered a 'tourist'.

The second is to truly control the Dameng Academy.

The second method is to ask the Heavenly Destiny Bird, or to find a way to control it from within.

Of course, Zhao Xing can also show tourists a way to enter. With the abilities of Hong Yuan, Su Li and others, they can enter the interior and cooperate with external means, and breaking through the boundary is only a matter of time.

However, Zhao Xing still had to say hello to Tianming Xuanniao in advance to avoid any accidents.

"I don't remember the existence of the mechanical Destiny Bird in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It may be that I didn't know about it in my previous life, but it is also possible that the Destiny Bird did not survive." Zhao Xing thought to himself. He recalled the abnormality of the Destiny Bird when they last met: "Try to keep it alive."

……

hum~
Zhao Xing entered the Dameng Academy again and appeared in the Tianji Pavilion again.

But this time, the feeling was completely different from the last time.

"The rules of suppression are no longer effective for me." Zhao Xing looked out the door. "I can go wherever I want now, without being restricted by levels."

In the past, what I saw outside the door was all thick fog, but now, everything is in sight! All the halls, organs, and temples are visible under the soul's heavenly gaze!

"Ga ga ga ga~" a familiar voice sounded, and the Heavenly Fate Black Bird flew down from the pavilion and landed on the closet. "Zhao Xing, I thought you were dead!"
