Chapter 222: Chapter 20: Twisted Sounds and Shapes, Zhuang Ziqing’s Shock

"It’s really ’impossible to train.’" Zhao Xing walked out of Rich Spring Garden, recalling what Marquis Tian had just said.

When fighting with the army, encountering extremely extreme situations, like ’Ten Suns in the Sky,’ which completely destroys everything.

There are also unique ones, like ’Forbidden Magic Zones.’

Not only the Minister of Agriculture, but any spell profession could not use spells, leaving only physical combat abilities.

At this time, the advantage of being a martial artist came to light.

It was precisely because of such situations that martial artists had always been a massive group. Otherwise, the Fortune Dynasty would only cultivate masters. After all, in many cases, spells were far more useful than martial skills.

Zhao Xing had participated in similar training in his past life, so he had a vague guess about the compulsory training course when Tian Shan sent him those two elixirs.

He just didn’t expect it to come so early.

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. In the Ten Suns Cave Heaven’s Minister of Agriculture Reserve, everyone had a foundation in spells. In a short period, there wouldn’t be much improvement in spell training. On the contrary, this kind of physical training would be more effective and could also improve everyone’s Gathering Essence level."

Knowing the content of the compulsory training in twenty days, Zhao Xing understood that the gifts from Tian Shan were not given randomly.

The Earth Origin Red Fruit raised the Gathering Essence Level.

The Hundred Beasts Throat Pill and Earth Evil Lung Training Pill were used to prepare for martial skill cultivation.

Since physical training was required, and there would be fighting, it was necessary to prepare some martial arts techniques.

"For the Minister of Agriculture to train in martial arts, unless they had a prior foundation, there would be no significant achievements in such a short time."

Training with a staff for a month, a knife for a year, and a spear for a lifetime. Practicing weapon techniques? That was even harder.

Practicing fist and footwork? It wasn’t something that could be accomplished overnight either.

"The only thing that could be fast-tracked would be sound wave techniques, and that’s the teacher’s intention. The vast majority of Ministers of Agriculture would probably choose this type of martial skill."

"Oh, these second and third-tier treasures have started to go up in price."

Zhao Xing browsed through the arsenal.

Soon he saw that a dozen kinds of elixirs, such as the Tiger Throat Pill and Strengthening Lung Pill, began to rise in price.

The four major academies had only 200 people.

There were only 21 individuals with top-grade resources.

Based on the situations of each academy, Zhao Xing estimated that fewer than 1,000 people had 1,000 training points each month.

Most people, after being allocated to their respective academies, received less than 500 points each month.

Therefore, the price of second-tier elixirs increased slightly, while third-tier elixirs only rose by a few points.

Regarding the Hundred Beasts Throat Pill and Earth Evil Lung Training Pill Zhao Xing owned?

The price hadn’t moved an inch.

Because 90% of the reserve soldiers in the Minister of Agriculture couldn’t afford even one.

Zhao Xing had more than 6,000 points on him, as well as the Thunder Stone given by Long Xiao and Chen Shijie, which had a recycling value of 8,000 points.

Seeing the rise in prices of second-tier treasures, he thought about hoarding but quickly gave up the idea, realizing that the recycling price was only 80% of the sale price.

"Minister of Agriculture Reserve, even if ten thousand people bought second-tier treasures, the price wouldn’t rise significantly. Forget it, no underhanded schemes."

Zhao Xing closed the list of treasures and turned to check out the list of martial skills.

"Let’s see if there are any sound wave techniques I want."

A casual search brought up a plethora of martial skills. Even searching for sound wave martial skills yielded thousands of results, showcasing the rich resources of this period once more.

If he were in the tumultuous times of the Fortune Dynasty’s collapse, acquiring even one would be ten times harder, with much fewer people researching new martial skills and spells.

[Description: Purchasing will include a set of cultivation resources, including Dragon Food Grass and Lung Gold Spirit Liquid. ]

The cultivation methods were free, still at no cost, 80 points mainly for the treasures required for cultivation, which could assist and speed up training.

Now that Zhao Xing had some wealth, he had no interest in basic-level martial skills.

He directly chose to view mid-level martial skills.

His teacher had prepared the necessary cultivation materials for him, and he only needed to see which parts were missing. If he had prepared some materials or treasures himself, the price would be cheaper.

[Tiger Roar Dragon Roar: Mid-level Martial Skill]

[Category: Sound Wave Secret Technique]

[After cultivation, one could emit Tiger Roar Dragon Roar sounds, endlessly cycling, shattering rocks and splitting gold.]

[Description: Purchasing will include a set of cultivation resources, including Dragon Spirit Grass, Lung Gold Spirit Liquid, Swordfish Lung Slices, and Fierce Tiger Throat Pill.]

"Tiger Roar Dragon Roar, this sound wave technique, is quite standard. The materials needed for cultivation do not overlap with what my teacher gave me, so I’ll skip it."

Zhao Xing continued to browse. There were high and low distinctions among mid-level martial skills, and now that he was wealthy, he had no interest in the average ones.

"Hmm? This one is pretty good. If I were to purchase it, I’d only need to spend an extra 500 points... Let’s see if there’s anything better."
