Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1521 - 20: Grassman Skill of Divine Rank! He Yin Marquis’s Astonishment!

The face of Yuetan Marquis Mansion must still be given; all major forces value their reputation. Rejecting it might lead to unexpected complications.

Although Jing Yan was injured, he could only suppress it for now and wait until he met the young lady from the Marquis Mansion.

Zhao Xing quickly made a decision: "I have long admired the Marquis Mansion's reputation, please lead the way, Mr. Wang."

...

Outside the Star Wheel Maze, Lu Yuehan had constructed a luxurious palace, with countless Sun Star Lamps in the sky to neutralize the rampant power of Taiyin.

Originally, the outside of the Star Wheel Maze was barren with dust storms raging, but after Zhao Xing and Jing Yan emerged, they were greeted by a vibrant scene—mountains, lakes, vegetation, flower seas, spirit beasts... With roughly one estate's worth of land temporarily transformed into a livable environment.

Zhao Xing was no stranger to the methods used, as it was the Heavenly Time Sect's Agriculture's commonly used treasure—Great View Realm.

However, the version under Lu Yuehan's command was even stronger, and the resources more abundant. Near the palace complex where Lu Yuehan resided, Zhao Xing even saw the familiar peculiar beast 'Sky Gush Beast'.

"Such ostentation," Jing Yan transmitted, "Indeed, a wealthy young lady; her adventure feels more like a leisure trip."

"It is quite extravagant," Zhao Xing looked at the sky. "Each Sun Star Lamp costs nearly a million, normally a set suffices, but here there are tens of thousands purely for a bit more comfort."

Despite having made considerable money over the centuries, Zhao Xing still couldn't compare with such a family.

Below, the courtyard and palaces were intricately scattered, with pavilions and towers competing in splendor. There were hundreds of palace-style top-quality Realm Star Dao Soldiers.

He and Jing Yan followed Wang Yun aboard the Flying Boat and arrived at Lu Yuehan's residence—Moon Cold Palace, after flying for 15 minutes.

Outside the palace, there were numerous mortals (those below Ascension Realm in the universe are considered mortals), busy people coming and going, spirit beasts and auspicious clouds floating in the sky.

Compared to the cold and dead silence in other areas of Nanluo No. 88, it seemed like another world.

Zhao Xing and Jing Yan's Flying Boat stopped at a grand and magnificent gate arch, and soon someone went to notify Lu Yuehan.

The band and Dance Master played a mellow welcoming tune, while Hong Qi personally came out to greet them.

He continually scrutinized Zhao Xing, his eyes showing a gleam.

It turned out Zhao Xing wasn't in the Third Realm, but was instead in the Second Realm, and Hong Qi judged Zhao Xing to be unexpectedly young, merely a thousand years old?

Zhao Xing also assessed Hong Qi, feeling somewhat surprised. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Unexpectedly, the elderly man in simple attire before him turned out to be a Great Divine Power Realm scholar, and a rare Preaching Scholar at that.

Preaching Scholars are well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge, deeply understanding the Dao and capable of deciphering, analyzing, and storing complex Dao concepts.

In Shangluo Academy of Xuanhuang Realm, Zhao Xing had seen the Ten Thousand Dao Tree; Preaching Scholars are essentially human-shaped Ten Thousand Dao Trees.

They can indeed cultivate a Dao Tree within themselves, which becomes the scholar's 'Dojo'.

Preaching Scholars cannot be cultivated postnatally; they are determined at birth, with only one or two such gifted individuals among roughly a hundred million humans.

Preaching Scholars are incredibly powerful, yet subject to the unseen cosmic rules: in their lifetime, they have only one chance to battle and cast spells.

Preaching is a 'peaceful profession', restricted by the universe; their insight is extraordinary, capable of guiding other professions, passing on skills and teachings, and understanding countless sects, but any combat would instantly violate cosmic prohibitions, causing their lifespan to drain at an extraordinary rate.

Of course, the moment they break this prohibition is also their most powerful moment.

Great Divine Power Realm Preaching Scholars hold an extremely high status, and Zhao Xing and Jing Yan hadn't expected to encounter one here, so they immediately paid their respects.

Hong Qi hurriedly stopped them: "Inviting you on impulse is already abrupt, I dare not accept such grand courtesy, much less find fault with you."

"Certainly not." Zhao Xing and Jing Yan quickly cupped their hands.

"Our young lady is warm and hospitable, enjoying the company of heroes from all over the world. Fate brought us together, hence she wishes to use this opportunity to invite you two to celebrate." Hong Qi's gaze fell on Jing Yan. "But the esteemed guest seems to be wounded?"

Jing Yan's injuries were suppressed, his body restored to its appearance, temporarily integrated with a Mechanical Warrior bottom half, making it hard to identify his injury, at most one might assume he's a Mechanical Warrior.

But Hong Qi, being a Preaching Scholar, recognized it instantly.

"To be honest, my friend is indeed injured," Zhao Xing said.

"Moon Cold Palace has doctors of the Third Realm," Hong Qi said. "If you don't mind, our young lady can dispatch someone to heal the esteemed guest."

Jing Yan actually didn't want to receive treatment here; the free one is the most expensive, and debts of gratitude and cause and effect are hard to repay—even with an Earth God Pill. But mentally, it's hard to overcome.

Yet he dared not refuse.

When bestowed with face by the Great Divine, one must accept it gracefully.

No choice even if you don't want it.

"I dare not reject, thank you, Miss Lu." Jing Yan graciously bowed.

With injuries, it wasn't good to meet immediately.

Hong Qi immediately arranged for Jing Yan to rest in a palace and promptly brought the doctor of the Third Realm, while Zhao Xing stayed close.

One must remain vigilant; if any issues arise, his Purple God Star Talisman can activate to protect both Jing Yan and himself.

In the following six months, Zhao Xing rested in the palace, awaiting Jing Yan's recovery.

Poison of Thorny Hand, only residual poison, required the Third Realm doctor to perform Small Divine Power six times to completely remove it.
