Shennong Dao Master

As for the star-shaped pear, it is merely a beautiful wish, ’disaster away,’ symbolizing a good harvest. In the Yueluo Ancient Country, there’s also a pun.

"Spring Equinox, three supplements; one Marquis can eat..."

"Qingming, three supplements..."

"..."

As Zhao Xing spoke faster, everyone’s mouths slowly opened wide.

Besides the others, the nine Ministers of Agriculture and the two scholars were truly astounded.

Those who didn’t know might think Zhao Xing was a scholar himself; how could you know such an obscure question?

Though it was a Minister of Agriculture question, it wasn’t about the contemporary ancient countries!

Educated people are respected wherever they go.

Especially the remaining seven Ministers of Agriculture in the group, they all felt Zhao Xing was truly radiating brilliance.

"Xiao Xue has three supplements: first Marquis the Fire Turtle Gallbladder, second Marquis the Hollow-headed Radish, third Marquis the Mixed Rhombus Wine. Three years of dreams? Awakening welcomes spring."

Three years is just a metaphor for a period; it certainly does not literally mean sleeping for three years.

After Zhao Xing finished answering, the Inquiry Book Puppet smiled slightly, seemingly very pleased. It gave Zhao Xing something and made a gesture for him to pass through before wandering aimlessly.

When Zhao Xing turned back, he saw the slightly surprised faces of everyone.

You Yitian excitedly rushed over and punched Zhao Xing: "Brother, you’re amazing! Du Qing said your question among the Ministers of Agriculture was the hardest, even he couldn’t answer it!"

Fan Qing was also rather amazed, her beautiful eyes fixated on Zhao Xing without blinking.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "It was just luck, after all. Mr. Du Wen happened to teach me about the Food Supplementation Method, and it was mentioned there."

This was indeed no lie; it was truly taught by Du Wen.

"I see."

Du Qing realized.

He was merely a Small Divine Power Realm scholar, and by seniority, Du Wen was considered his great-uncle. Every advancement in a scholar’s realm results in exponential knowledge growth. He was frequently beside Du Yun, so it was no surprise he was erudite.

"Huang Fuyun, only you are left." You Yitian said, "Be confident, you can do it."

Huang Fuyun looked around and paused, now only he of the fifty-three people hadn’t passed.

With Zhao Xing’s prior obscure question, the pressure was fully loaded.

He stepped onto the grass, and immediately an Inquiry Book Puppet leaped out, blocking his path, posing a rather difficult question.

Huang Fuyun couldn’t answer by the time the limit was reached.

First attempt, failure!

Zhao Xing also found it peculiar, why did it become so difficult for himself and Huang Fuyun?

"The commonality between Huang Fuyun and me is that we both practice the Self Sect."

"Every trial must have a reason, could it be that there is an unknown plant species here, waiting for you to inherit?" Zhao Xing instantly made a connection.

At the moment, he didn’t hope Huang Fuyun would fail on the second attempt, because if he was eliminated, there would be no one to compare against.

Fortunately, Huang Fuyun seized the second opportunity.

Though he didn’t receive a reward, he was not eliminated and successfully passed.

"Not bad, not bad." You Yitian patted Huang Fuyun on the shoulder reassuringly.

Huang Fuyun also exhaled deeply.

"Out of fifty-five people, fifty-three remain, this success rate is already quite high." Zhao Xing mused, "Although the scholars didn’t prompt, they deduced some patterns; as long as there were multiple people in the same profession, after asking the first one, the two scholars immediately made their guess and hit quite a few. Du Yun’s subordinates are indeed talented."

The reward Zhao Xing received from the second level was merely an unknown elixir, which, after doctor’s evaluation, was suspected to be a Yuanluo Pill for nourishing the soul, valued at 500 million Sea Coins, considered one of the higher grade rewards.

Zhao Xing didn’t attempt to consume it immediately but just kept it.

You Yitian opened his mouth wide, swallowing people into his stomach, tossing into ears, quickly flying over the green plain.

After roughly two and a half months, they arrived at the third level.
