The Taicang Institute has three main treasures.
The first is the Hall of All Things, which is similar to the Earth Vein Hall in the Institute of Geography. It is also presented in the form of a mural gallery for people to visit, with carvings of the "All Things Growth Map."
This treasure has both inner and outer sections. The outer gallery is free for everyone to comprehend, while access to the inner gallery requires the purchase of entries with points, or one can have one to three free entry opportunities if they are classified as a top talent.
The second is the Primordial Dojo, which houses countless original species that bloom and wither at a very fast rate, demonstrating the complete process from seed to growth, maturation, and death. There are also sections that remain constant, keeping the plants in a specific stage, such as the "Newborn Zone," "Growth Zone," "Maturation Zone," and "Withering Zone."
The dojo also has a grading system. The low-order areas are free to watch, while the middle and high-order areas require the purchase of entries with points. Top talents have a chance for free comprehension opportunities.
The third is the Derivative Dojo, which functions the sa as the Primordial Dojo but features entirely new types of plants cultivated by humans.
"I am given top-level treatnt. Although I’m not from the Taicang Institute, I can enter the paid areas of these treasures for free twice."
Top talents of the institute can enter for free three tis, but those from other institutions only get two free entries.
Zhao Xing arrived at the Taicang Institute.
He decided to go to the Hall of All Things first.
"My foundation is quite weak. Not just , but the vast majority of Ministers of Agriculture are in the sa situation."
Most Ministers of Agriculture, before reaching the fifth-rank, had only a superficial understanding of the Self Sect’s spells.
Before reaching the fifth-rank, no Minister of Agriculture dared to claim minor achievents in the spells of the Self Sect.
For the Self Sect, before the fifth-rank was all about "laying foundations."
"Although the Taicang Institute allocates 50 people, in reality, very few Ministers of Agriculture truly join the Taicang Institute and follow the path of the Self Sect."
"Most co for the benefits but secretly spend their thoughts on other paths."
Being in Taicang but with their hearts elsewhere. They take advantage of the Taicang Institute’s benefits and cultivate spells from other sects. This is the current situation of the Self Sect.
There was no way around this. If the Taicang Institute stipulated that once they joined, they had to forcibly major in the spells of the Self Sect, top talents would rather go to the Institute of Heavenly Ti or Geography Institute to get the second-best treatnt than go to the Taicang Institute.
Majoring in the Self Sect was too difficult to reach the fifth-rank. People might die without ever touching the threshold of the Self Sect.
Therefore, the Taicang Institute didn’t force the Ministers of Agriculture to study particularly. Instead, they attracted those truly interested and dedicated through the court’s resource support.
"Let’s not waste precious comprehension opportunities yet. Let’s stroll around the free areas first." Zhao Xing walked towards the Hall of All Things.
At this ti, the Taicang Institute was quite empty.
Far fewer people ca to comprehend in the Hall of All Things compared to other treasures.
The gallery was empty, with scattered dozens of people standing in front of the murals, many of whom left after a short while.
"Like the Four Heavenly Ti Techniques and the Four Earthly Benefits, the Self Sect also has four classic spells."
"Elental Analysis, Condensation, Bending, Strong Roots, known as the ’Self Small Four Techniques.’
Why add the term ’small’?
It’s not due to ’spell discrimination’ or ’sect discrimination’ that the term is added.
It’s because they were difficult to practice.
Most people couldn’t learn, and only a few could walk this path, so it wasn’t considered a grand path.
Moreover, with the saying of the Five Elents and Four Seasons, the philosophy of the Heavenly Ti Sect dominated, called the ’Great Five Elents,’ while the Self Sect was called ’Inner Five Elents’ or the ’Small Five Elents.’ This habit of naming extended to the spells as well, and the Self Sect had no choice but to acknowledge it.
However, when the Recovery Era arrived, the Self Sect, which had been in decline for thousands of years, finally stood up.
They stood up and declared: Everyone here is trash, and I will eliminate you all!
"Elental Analysis, Condensation, Bending, Strong Roots, the Four thods of Self, I already learned one of them." Zhao Xing strolled through the gallery.
The middle-order Nine Revolutions’ Wild Growth belonged to the "Strong Roots" category. It had other nas, like Strong Stalk Technique and Strong Foundation Skill.
"The strange thod I wanted is called the "Xuanhuang Analysis thod," which should have existed during Emperor Jing’s period. It’s just not well-known, and I don’t know if it has been included here.
Zhao Xing looked at the mural "All Things Growth Map," each mural containing spells screened by the court.
"Does the court’s myriad spells include the "Xuanhuang Analysis thod?"
Zhao Xing couldn’t be sure, because he didn’t rember the exact ti this spell appeared. He only rembered that the creator was called ’Mi Fei.’
"Mi Fei served as the third-rank Minister of Agriculture in the early Wu Emperor period, but he didn’t serve long before dying of old age."
"During Emperor Jing’s period, there were six reign titles: Cheng’an, Yong’an, Dingxin, Jingxin, Da Zhi, Yongzhi."
"The ’Two An’ periods were the longest, while the ’Two Zhi’ periods were the shortest. Among the ’Two Xin’ periods, Jingxin only lasted thirty-seven years."
"Mi Fei died of old age, so during this ti, he should have been in his pri. I just don’t know his rank. If it’s fifth-rank or above, then it’ll be easier to find. If below fifth-rank, it’ll be hard. There are countless officials below the fifth-rank with the sa na in Great Zhou."
When Mi Fei created the "Xuanhuang Analysis thod," he was only sixth-rank. Why was it considered a strange thod?
Because Mi Fei himself didn’t know how powerful the thod he created was.
The Xuanhuang Analysis thod worked moderately well on plants.
But when applied to the Human Clan, it could help people analyze "Pure Essence Soil" in advance and was simply divine!
It wasn’t until the later Recovery Era, with the help of external conditions, that this "Xuanhuang Analysis thod" shone brightly and beca a compulsory spell for Ministers of Agriculture.
