Chapter 975: Chapter 56: Zhao’s Two Classics Collection and Material Law Magic Theory, Sensation!
Actually, Zhao Xing’s original words in the new Chapter were ’change the Heavenly Time’ and ’enhance the Earth Advantage’.
But over the past two years, in the mouths of many at Shangluo Academy, it has morphed into meaning ’command the Heavenly Time’ and ’regulate the Earth Advantage’.
Saying it this way is quite inspiring!
Directly elevating the Self Sect to the leader position among the three sects!
When you go out, your identity is given by yourself!
In the future, when encountering the Ministers of Agriculture from the Heavenly Time Sect and Earth Advantage Sect, even debating with them will have a solid ground.
Thus, when Qiu Yuesheng posed this question, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
Zhao Xing laughed too, as if he was aware of countless eager eyes upon him.
Although Heavenly Time Sect’s dominance is indisputable, here, many still want to hear some encouraging words from him.
However, the Heavenly Time Sect and Earth Advantage Sect wouldn’t like it, so this is indeed a sharp question.
This person from Shangluo Academy was not selected in vain.
Zhao Xing smiled and said: "Yes, I certainly hope the Path of Self becomes the strongest, then perhaps my teacher could become the first Grand Minister of Agriculture in our dynasty’s history."
"If one achieves enlightenment, then even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, wouldn’t I also rise swiftly through the ranks?"
Answering sharp questions with jokes.
Expressing hope isn’t wrong, and spreading it wouldn’t belittle the other two sects.
Zhao Xing’s words instantly drew another round of laughter.
Qiu Yuesheng bowed: "Thank you, Doctor Zhao, for your answer, and I wish Doctor Zhao all his wishes come true."
Followed closely by Wei Zhao, Yang Song, and Wen Weiqi.
These three individuals, all are Fourth Grade Perfect.
Their philosophical inquiry wasn’t as casual as Qiu Yuesheng’s, but rather substantial.
They were confused while listening to Zhao Xing’s teachings.
"Doctor Zhao said to adjust the Five Elements earth veins with plant species and balance the Six Qi of heaven."
"I have also read Doctor Zhao’s Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory."
"Main Qi narrates the norm, Guest Qi measures the change."
"If a county’s land, due to Six Qi disorder, Yin Yang imbalance, results in earthworm mutation, how should one use nurturing plants to stabilize it?"
Zhao Xing calmly said: "The seventy-two terms in the month mention that in the early term of April, ’Earth Dragon Earthworms mutate’ will appear."
"This mutation occurs at the Beginning of Summer."
"Summer implies illusion; objects all appear large at this time."
"Earthworm mutation is due to excessive absorption of the Hesperia Qi, typically leading to Yin change."
"Of course, it doesn’t exclude the situation of fire worms absorbing Yang Qi, leading to Yang change."
"Knowing the crux of the problem makes it easy to resolve." Zhao Xing said. "The initial term is about to sprout, this is the imbalance of Hesperia Qi, meaning Earth Qi is disorderly, which can be suppressed by covering with Yin-affiliated earth wood."
This answer doesn’t consider the situation where mutation has already happened.
Because once the mutation occurs, it is rather easy to deal with, just deploy the army to eliminate the mutated species.
However, this is merely a superficial solution; after elimination, the Hesperia Qi is still chaotic.
It might still trigger a new round of mutation.
Usually, the talk about stabilizing mutation refers to before and after the change.
That is essentially the method Zhao Xing just mentioned.
Of course, the Self Sect’s handling of mutation is relatively slow.
Spells from the Earth Advantage Sect and Heavenly Time Sect work faster.
Yet, even slower solutions can be utilized.
....
Then the three individuals continued to raise doubts, discussing for three days before reluctantly stopping.
Once the three had finished saluting, it was time for the High Grade philosophical inquiry.
What Liu Tianning talked about was related to the Path of Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man.
There wasn’t much to clarify, Lao Liu now teaching Zhao Xing is more than adequate.
He used the Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man to address the topic, discussing attributes, self attributes, and dao attributes concerning the Grassman Skill in the Self Sect Heavenly Object.
It was basically Zhao Xing asking and listening.
The give-and-take naturally supplemented the Ultimate Skill of the Self Sect into Zhao Xing’s sutras and theories.
The two talked for two and a half days before concluding.
"Thank you, teacher, for resolving my doubts." Zhao Xing bowed.
Liu Tianning returned the gesture: "In learning there’s no early or late, the accomplished are teachers, I also gained much, thank you Doctor Zhao for enlightening me."
Old Liu is truly a good person, at this moment still praising the student.
The second person to philosophically debate with Zhao Xing was Chu Qianqiu, the Dean of Military Envoy Academy.
"Spring Rain Bamboo, sharp and used as soldiers, thawing through the wind; the fog rises."
"Plucking leaves as golden knives, gathering bamboo soldiers into battle formations."
"How to comprehend the attributes, self attributes, dao attributes?"
Chu Qianqiu’s question wasn’t particularly difficult, as at this time he couldn’t pose overly mysterious questions to challenge Zhao Xing.
Unless he wished to invite trouble.
But his question wasn’t simple either, because if Zhao Xing didn’t understand the Grass and Trees are Soldiers Skill, nor the traits of various grade soldiers, it would be hard to answer.
Moreover, he needed to be in line with his own theory.
Chu Qianqiu’s inquiry was also a test, checking if Zhao Xing had engaged with the theory of High Order soldier species.
Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and replied:
"Spring Rain Bamboo, hiding gold and absorbing water, when Yang’s harmony arrives and strengthens, a single thought condenses and disperses, thus when moved frost cold and fog arise!"
"Morning haze flies; when it flies, the murderous intent is intense!"
"Using spring rain bamboo soldiers to kill the remaining winter vitality, to balance Yin Yang, this is called the Dao!"
Chu Qianqiu was startled internally; a professional’s approach revealed whether he possessed genuine knowledge.
Zhao Xing explained the material properties of Spring Rain Bamboo.
From the perspective of sutras and theories, he explained why the mobilization of Spring Rain Bamboo triggers meteorological phenomena.
Then elaborated upon the self attributes and dao attributes.
Utilizing Self Sect’s Spring Rain Bamboo naturally generates murderous intent; how is murderous intent produced?
It’s akin to being impatient on a sweltering day.
A person’s Inner Heaven and Earth affect emotional changes; Yang’s morning haze, murderous intent is intense, this is the ’self attribute’ resulting from using plant soldiers.
The final segment is an explication of dao attributes.
Discussing Spring Rain Bamboo’s battlefield traits from the perspective of Dao, aligning with the Yin Yang Dao.
