Chapter 484: Chapter 55: Yan Si! Seizing the First Opportunity in the Cave World’s Spiritual Beauty!_2

[Sleeping Bug Skill: High Order Fourth Transformation]

The Sleeping Bug Skill reached high order, not only increasing its range and power but also serving as a unique self-cultivation method for the Life Soul. It could capture the parasites within the Life Soul, promoting its growth.

During his time at Sacrificial Soul Pass, Zhao Xing rarely slept, yet he managed to persevere thanks to this spell.

"Five-Finger Destiny, Turtle Coin Divination Skill, and Divination Skill are all advanced secret techniques, but I only learned the intermediate methods within these secret techniques."

"Fate-manipulating spells were hard to practice during the Great Zhou Period, but I reached the intermediate Perfect Level in all of them." Zhao Xing looked at the three spells with a faint smile.

In the two months at Sacrificial Soul Pass, he killed thirty-two thousand turtles!

He was undoubtedly the ’Turtle Killing Maniac,’ the nemesis of turtles.

Jiang Ming of the Zhenhai Army was frightened when delivering the turtles.

He even thought Zhao Xing had some peculiar hobby, enjoying the slaughter of turtles to satisfy his twisted psyche.

Every time he delivered turtles, he would quickly leave, unwilling to say a word more.

Xia Jing, Liao Rulong, Chen Shijie, Long Xiao, and Wen Shaoyang all had significant objections.

Thirty-two thousand turtles!

Zhao Xing only wanted the blood and shells; what about the meat?

Of course, it was eaten!

The meat of the spirit turtles, especially of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grades, couldn’t be wasted.

Meat was scarce on the front lines. Ministers of Agriculture could grow plants, but obtaining meat wasn’t as simple; it had to be transported.

Zhao Xing, as the logistics officer, ordered the turtle meat to be given to the officers to eat.

At first, the officers were delighted.

But they couldn’t bear eating it day after day!

So they all went to their superiors to complain.

Xia Jing even approached Zhao Xing, asking if he had any grievances against him, as otherwise, why did he keep bringing turtle meat every day?

The Priest Zhang Yi couldn’t hold back from complaining, saying that the pass was haunted by turtle ghosts every day, and the soldiers constantly dreamt of the restless spirits of turtles. If this continued, he wouldn’t be able to perform his duties as a priest and pacify the souls!

Eventually, under the protests of these high-ranking officers, the supply of turtle meat to senior officers was halted, and Zhao Xing stopped having Jiang Ming deliver turtles.

After that, Jiang Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the other soldiers were also liberated.

It wasn’t because Mr. Zhao relented, but because he had finally perfected the ’Turtle Coin Divination Skill’ at the intermediate Perfect Level.

However, from then on, Zhao Xing earned the nickname of the Turtle Killing Maniac.

"The perfection of my Turtle Divination Method was greatly aided by these turtles." Zhao Xing couldn’t help but lament.

The Turtle Coin Divination Skill, derived from the Six Trigrams Scripture, deepened his understanding of the spell. Once he grasped the principles, it became much easier to progress in "Five-Finger Destiny" and "Divination Skill."

Eventually, all three advanced secret techniques had spells that reached the intermediate Perfect Level.

.....

Not long after returning to the Huai Liu Courtyard from the divine temple, Chen Shijie, Long Xiao, and Xia Jing also completed their promotion processes.

Zhao Xing used the Dayan Qi Observation Skill to take a look at Old Chen.

"The gray and white colors of the Fortune Pillar had disappeared, though the red pillar wasn’t as solid as Long Xiao’s. However, after this promotion, it finally reached the basic level of Third Order of Dayan."

"Long Xiao’s red pillar was deeper. If Qi fortune were divided into basic, intermediate, high, and peak, he would be at the intermediate level of Third Order of Dayan."

At this time, Old Chen was already at the lower rank of the Sixth Grade, one rank higher than Zhao Xing.

This rank was the watershed between secondary and primary ranks. Logically, this promotion should have greatly boosted his Qi fortune. Though Old Chen didn’t reach the Fourth Order of Dayan, he should have at least been at the intermediate level of Third Order of Dayan.

Yet he only reached the basic level of Third Order of Dayan, with the gray and white colors, though minimal, still present.

"According to the Dayan Scripture, this indicates unstable fortunes. In times of great calamity, unable to turn misfortune into fortune and unable to withstand perilous situations, it is easy to revert to his original state, showing significant volatility."

"Old Chen was truly born with deficiencies." Zhao Xing secretly sighed.

Given the current situation, it was uncertain if he could withstand the upcoming calamity in the Ten Suns Cave Heaven.

But it was much better than before.

If Zhao Xing hadn’t joined Liao Rulong’s unit, Chen Shijie would never have gained a million battle merits. He might still be hesitating in front of Fire Dragon Pass.

"Xia Jing’s Qi fortune is indeed strong." Zhao Xing glanced at Xia Jing again. "His red light was mixed with blue, with occasional purple starlight coming from the east, adorning his head. This is a sign of the Fourth Order of Dayan, and it’s even as stable as an old dog."

Zhao Xing couldn’t see his own Fortune Pillar, but he speculated that Xia Jing’s Qi fortune might be even stronger than his own.

Putting aside his ability as a prophet, Xia Jing’s fortunes had been rising ever since the Ten Suns Cave Heaven!

First, during the collective training, he got to know Zhao Xing. Initially, there were conflicts with Zhao Xing, and during the [Untrainable Training], he repeatedly knocked Zhao Xing off the field, venting Zhao Xing’s anger.

During the [Supply Training], Xia Jing was assigned to Zhao Xing’s group. After some torment, he took the opportunity to establish a connection with Zhao Xing.

In the ensuing large-scale ’combat training’ and the internship in Cloud City, he was once again assigned to Zhao Xing’s group!

Especially during the crucial Cloud City internship. If he hadn’t been grouped with Zhao Xing and had a different Minister of Agriculture, it would have been challenging for Xia Jing to complete the internship with the highest evaluation.

Even if he completed it, he wouldn’t have saved enough time to prepare for the Pacifying Barbarian Battlefield.

Later, he even met Zhao Xing at Fire Dragon Pass, formed an alliance, and benefited from the bounties of Fire Dragon Pass and Sacrificial Soul Pass, solidifying his position in the Xuanjia Army.

Xia Jing’s Qi fortune was strong to begin with, and it further solidified after meeting Zhao Xing.

His current official rank was the same as Zhao Xing’s, both being at the upper secondary Sixth Rank, but he also reached the Fourth Order of Dayan and was approaching the Fifth Order.

Judging by the Dayan Scripture, if Xia Jing’s fortunes were plotted on a graph, the low points would be minimal. No matter how bad his luck was, it wouldn’t be too disastrous, but the peaks of his fortune would be numerous.
