Chapter 404: Chapter 34: What? How Much Did He Plant? (5K)

"This Mechanical School Formation should not use the Zhao Yang Earth Fire Array, it should use the Chong Guang Earth Fire Array. The array base should also not use ’Earth Copper Soil,’ but ’Overlord Gold Sand.’

"Time is tight, and the craftsmen of your Divine Might Army are not very proficient in this Dao. It can be used temporarily, but it should be replaced later.

"How can this Fourth-order Earth Fire Lotus be cultivated with the Strong Foundation Skill? Do you not know that the Elemental Analysis Skill is the best method?"

"Setting up the Yao Guang Gui Yuan Array in the Kun Position, the Earth Vein Fire is not completely utilized... Who set up the Guiyuan Array Base here?"

Dong He pointed out around the planting area near East Sang Volcano, accompanied by Zhao Xing and Wang Ji.

Seeing Dong He asking, Wang Ji said in a muffled voice, "Sir, it was done by me."

Dong He said indifferently, "It’s understandable for young people to be careless. Luckily, this is only a cultivation of the third or fourth rank. For the fifth-tier magic arrays, you must be more meticulous."

Wang Ji opened his mouth, but in the end, he just cupped his hands and responded.

As Dong He came over and pointed out his work, the problem was that Dong He was not entirely ignorant, making Wang Ji feel aggrieved.

"Mr. Zhao." Dong He looked at Zhao Xing again, "I heard that you are proficient in a high-order analysis skill?"

"Yes, it is called..." Zhao Xing just wanted to speak, but Dong He turned his head again, pointing at a lotus area ahead, "Stand at the Kun Position of the Fourth-order Earth Fire Cultivation Array and cast spells to assist me."

"In a while, I will ask the Xuanjia Army to adjust the array. I will also arrange for the Military Minister of Agriculture Officer from the Xuanjia Army to assist you. In your area, if the survival rate exceeds thirty percent, that would be remarkable..."

Seeing the talkative Dong He, Zhao Xing felt somewhat helpless.

Dong He seemed accustomed to giving orders, completely treating Zhao Xing as his subordinate.

Moreover, this person was extremely assertive, stemming from his immense confidence in his own knowledge.

After all, in the Xuanjia Army, Dong He was also a revered figure by all camps.

In just an hour, all the people Zhao Xing brought were instructed by Dong He.

This guy did have some expertise; what he said was correct, but the condescending tone was too much.

No wonder even Xia Jing found him irksome.

"Mr. Dong, shouldn’t we discuss this again?" Zhao Xing said, "You have just arrived in East Sang City and I see everyone..."

Dong He waved to interrupt Zhao Xing, "Mr. Zhao, there’s no need to discuss it further; the situation is urgent..."

"Clang!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of a mechanical trigger from Wang Ji’s waist.

A track on his back turned, revealing a row of crossbow slots from his shoulder, the mechanism loaded, with a glimmer of chill aimed at Dong He.

Dong He’s words were interrupted, and he and the people around him looked at Wang Ji in surprise.

Wang Ji looked at Dong He and said loudly, "Mr. Dong, your insight is unparalleled, please observe this crossbow arrow; is it advantageous?"

Dong He glanced at the miniature crossbow arrow on Wang Ji’s shoulder and nodded, "Not bad."

Wang Ji sneered, "The material used for this is exactly the Fifth-order Qijin Wood grown by Mr. Zhao."

"Why don’t you listen to Mr. Zhao’s opinions?!"

Dong He was silent, understanding why Wang Ji suddenly erupted.

Looking at Wang Ji’s eyes, Dong He had no doubt that if he continued to underestimate Zhao Xing, this young man would truly shoot an arrow at him.

Zhao Xing had been interrupted by Dong He repeatedly, and he was already full of anger. At this moment, he remained silent, pretending not to see Wang Ji’s rude behavior.

Damn it, they really can’t distinguish between high and low ranks!

After a moment of silence, Dong He nodded, "Please continue with what you were saying, Mr. Zhao."

Seeing this, Zhao Xing glanced to the side, "Wang Ji, the brothers of the Xuanjia Army are here to help. You overstepped. Go to Han Bing to receive your punishment!"

Wang Ji was going to Han Bing for a fake punishment. Those unaware might think Han Bing was a judicial officer, hearing Zhao Xing say this.

It was pure nonsense from Mr. Zhao to give Dong He a way out.

"Yes." Wang Ji snorted and left directly.

"Mr. Dong." Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said calmly, "What you said just now makes sense."

"However, using the Zhao Yang Earth Fire Array instead of the Chong Guang Earth Fire Array was my instruction. The array base not using ’Overlord Gold Sand’ but ’Earth Copper Soil’ was also my order."

"What you mentioned is good, but the cost is double. Our Divine Might Army cannot afford such extravagance."

When it came to professional issues, Dong He persisted, "Without these aids, wouldn’t the success rate decrease? How is that not another form of wastefulness?"

Zhao Xing was too lazy to argue with Dong He.

Everyone had different cultivation philosophies.

Dong He was accustomed to waging affluent battles; as a Sixth-rank Military Minister of Agriculture Officer in the Xuanjia Army, he was equipped with the best resources.

But Zhao Xing was used to being frugal, feeling that it was sufficient as long as the configuration met requirements.

For example, in terms of Earth Fire Lotus, clothing made from fifth-order lower-grade and fifth-order middle-grade would not make much difference while crossing the Flame Mountain.

The two were proficient in different spell directions.

Dong He specialized in high-level Strong Foundation Method, needing these aids for strengthening the foundation, while Zhao Xing’s proficiency in the Elemental Analysis Skill didn’t require such stringent conditions.

Zhao Xing directly proposed his distribution plan, "Mr. Dong, you and I will each lead a team to cultivate the Earth Fire Lotus."

"If you need manpower or materials, the Divine Might Army will prioritize fully supplying you."

Prioritize supplying me? Dong He looked at Zhao Xing in puzzlement.

Why did he feel that Zhao Xing’s words carried another meaning?

As if his spells were stronger?

"You don’t need to worry about my side’s effectiveness." Zhao Xing said.

"Very well." Dong He nodded, "That will indeed make things more convenient."

...

Flying back to East Sang City from Flame Mountain, Chen Shijie asked, "I heard you and Dong He didn’t get along very well?"
