"Could you give three years?" Zhao Xing said, "If within three years I truly achieve nothing, I am willing to abandon all other paths and positions, and focus solely on studying the Geographical Advantage Skill."
"Alright, let’s give you a chance!" ng Kun decided firmly.
Three years was not a long ti. If Zhao Xing learned nothing significant within that period, he would naturally realize it was infeasible and change his mind.
After all, it was rely a waste of three years. Zhao Xing was still very young; it was completely manageable.
The academic bias of the Earth Advantage Sect wasn’t very severe because the classic text "Earth Return," produced by the sect, cultivated "Earth Sand" that ultimately evolved into "Pure Essence Soil."
But the process of cultivation and the creation of the Pure Essence Space required the precise study of the Self Sect’s "Yin Yang Self Scripture."
The relationship between the Earth Advantage Sect and the Self Sect was inseparable.
They were not significantly opposed to the Self Sect, rely concerned that Zhao Xing would disperse his energies.
"My earlier conditions remain unchanged," ng Kun smiled, "However, you can only obtain those resources when your main body has ti to co and collect them."
"Thank you, Mr. ng."
"When can you set off?"
"I can leave now." Zhao Xing’s body swayed, a shadow appeared behind him, followed by the ergence of a clone.
This was one of his strongest nine clones.
"Good, then let this clone co with ," ng Kun said, "We need to return to Kunyuan Academy in a month’s ti."
ng Kun was unhesitant, taking Zhao Xing’s clone, and left with Gu Changqing.
...
After ng Kun and Gu Changqing departed, Long Xiao walked out of the backyard.
"Finished discussing?"
"Yes," Zhao Xing nodded.
"You’re going to be a teacher at the academy?" Long Xiao asked.
"Only a clone is going,"
"Then where will your main body be?" Long Xiao curiously asked, "Your main body takes up most of your effort. Both academies have invited you, yet your main body remains stationary. Do you have a better place to be?"
"Indeed," Zhao Xing smiled, "But this involves confidentiality and I can’t tell you."
The main body, of course, was to focus on studying the "Derivation God Decision."
As for official positions, it was best to stay in Chongming Prefecture, to find a leisurely position to pass the ti.
The main body cultivated the Derivation God Decision. If successful, the clone would also be stronger, enabling faster comprehension of spells.
Zhao Xing’s declaration of comprehending spells within three years primarily stemd from his confidence in the Derivation God Decision.
Once the Derivation God Decision broke through, his spell comprehension speed would also escalate.
"Alright then, I won’t linger," Long Xiao said. Zhao Xing’s diligent efforts made Long Xiao feel a bit ashad of playing too much.
"Are you coming ho for New Year’s this year?" Zhao Xing asked, "You’ve accumulated quite a sum at your manor in Dongyang. It wouldn’t hurt to co back and take a look. The people there haven’t seen their noble lord in years."
"How much profit can a few manors yield? You keep it," Long Xiao said.
"Alright, thank you then. I’ll take care of the twenty million,"
"Um... what? How much?!" Long Xiao almost couldn’t believe his ears.
"Twenty million," Zhao Xing repeated.
Long Xiao’s eyes widened, "How can it be so much? Where did my manors get so much profit?"
Zhao Xing shrugged, "Ten years, isn’t twenty million a lot?"
Long Xiao exclaid, "Of course it’s a lot! Damn, what have you done!"
Zhao Xing said, "You only rember that I’m a Military Minister of Agriculture Officer, did you forget that the Grand Minister of Agriculture controls the financial power?"
"The Grand Minister of Agriculture oversees the Inner Treasury, Fengchen Treasury, Zhihou Storehouse, Yuanfeng Storehouse, Cloth Store, tea warehouse, miscellaneous warehouse, Grain and Materials Office, Auditing Departnt, Mixed Purchase Office, Mixed Sale Market, Exchange Introduction Warehouse, mortgage office, Heji Bureau, Benefit Bureau, Store House Task, Coal Mine, fragrance dicine warehouse..."
"As the Grand Minister of Agriculture, how could I not know how to make money?"
"In these ten years, with minimal managent, I’ve made twenty million for you,"
"Old Chen’s manors are similar. In the last two years alone, dicinal herb sales have earned a fortune. Never mind, you wouldn’t understand anyway. In short, from ten years ago until now, your account has twenty million, all as liquid capital,"
"Is it too late for to change careers now?" Long Xiao asked.
"Hahaha, are you going to use your Seven Stars Divine Sword to weed?"
Long Xiao: "..."
After a long while, Long Xiao finally accepted the reality.
"Keep the money for ,"
"Sure," Zhao Xing nodded, "The Bai Family’s money belongs to the Bai Family, I’ll save so private funds for you."
"Good brother!"
...
Jingxin Calendar Year 30, September 22, Autumnal Equinox.
Half a month earlier, Zhao Xing had already t with Prefecture Lord Fan Hongyi and Wang Xuan Yi of Chongming Prefecture, expressing his desire for a relaxed position.
Fan Hongyi and Wang Xuan Yi had no objections, so after the autumnal equinox, his transfer was completed.
He was transferred from the Twin Dragon Horse Supervisor back to Chongming Prefecture City, into the Prefecture Minister of Agriculture Supervision, Earth God Temple Supervisor, Standard Fifth Rank Upper.
The Earth God represented the deity of land, and the Earth God Temple Supervisor was an overlapping position of the Minister of Agriculture Supervision and the temple’s administrative departnt.
It could be held either by a Minister of Agriculture or a priest, primarily working during spring planting and autumn harvesting to set up altars, cast spells, and pray to the Earth God for favorable weather.
Many Ministers of Agriculture believed in relying on the heavens for sustenance, with the unseen presence of the Earth God and seasonal gods safeguarding the Nineteen States.
Zhao Xing’s notion of ’man conquers heaven’ was typically held by military officers in the Ministry of Agriculture.
The Earth God Temple Supervisor mainly managed the rituals of the Nong Family.
For instance, during the annual spring planting, officials from various governnt levels would go to public fields to farm, setting an example to encourage farming.
During this period, altars were established, sacrifices made, and spells demonstrated. The subsequent harvest would be reported, indicating that the heavens had responded to their prayers.
This process was handled by the Earth God Temple Supervisor.
