Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1524 - 20: Grassman Skill of Divine Level! He Yin Marquis’s Astonishment!

"Mr. Hong, is it possible that these two are pretending to understand, or do they actually have broad knowledge?" Lu Yuehan asked through secret communication.

Hong Qi pondered, "Jing Yan might not understand everything, but they are communicating secretly. It's unclear exactly what they're saying, though it's likely Jing Yan is asking and Zhao Xing is answering."

"Oh?" Lu Yuehan was a bit puzzled. It wouldn't be surprising if Jing Yan knew more, given his background in the Empire where it's normal to have more exposure.

Zhao Xing, however, had only ascended for a few hundred years and was a native. This inversion seemed curious; how could this be the case?

"With our sect's matters, he usually shows no confusion. As for the curious and rare items from other paths, he understands most and shows little interest in whatever he doesn't."

Hong Qi hadn't taken his eyes off Zhao Xing. As a Great Divine Power scholar, analyzing movements came effortlessly.

"Miss, this person is not simple," Hong Qi said. "Wealth does not move him, lust does not confuse him. He is knowledgeable, confident, and composed, even his gait is proper. On the contrary, Jing Yan is somewhat exaggerated."

"Wang Yun, that Fate Master, apparently cannot decode Zhao Xing. It seems the cause and effect have been obscured. Miss, acquiring him might be quite challenging."

Hearing Hong Qi's observation, Lu Yuehan instantly felt a newfound mysteriousness about Zhao Xing, filling her with curiosity.

"The difficult ones are worth pursuing." Lu Yuehan communicated with a hint of excitement in her voice, "Mr. Hong, you must assist me."

"Miss, rest assured. Let him finish looking first."

...

What Lu Yuehan laid out was indeed quite valuable. If Zhao Xing discovered them through grave digging, he would surely be pleased—who doesn't love money?

But if it was money meant to bind him, Zhao Xing would find it all quite ordinary.

"There are even saplings of king-quality. This 'Demon Heart Luo' is one rank higher than elite quality, but it is equivalent to the Cloud-climbing Vine."

The classifications for plant troops were ordinary, rare, elite, king, royal, emperor, legend, and divine.

Currently, king level is the highest accessible tier. Beyond that, such treasures are mostly held by the royal family of ancient countries. They're nearly impossible to buy because those plants are treasures to uphold their rule. Emperor level plant troops are proclaimed national treasures.

Some ancient countries were founded because of a single emperor level plant. The divisions among king, royal, and emperor levels stem from this and are certainly not for sale.

If other factions possessed a second specimen, they would go to great lengths, even resorting to murder and theft, to maintain their uniqueness.

"There's nothing much to see among the troops; let's look at the secret manuals." Zhao Xing mused to himself.

Lu Yuehan had set out many Preaching Jade Scrolls. Unlikely as it was, there might be some Self Sect secret techniques.

While Zhao Xing had acquired the Ti Yuan Divine Power, it wasn't a universal solution. It had its limitations—extremely effective on yin-attribute flowering plants and detailed in the Life original partition—but less so in other categories.

Zhao Xing's attempts with mushrooms resulted only in uncontrollable mutants due to this reason. If they were flowers, he could cultivate controllable plant troops.

Moreover, Self Sect spells weren't solely for cultivating plants; they included rare battle methods as well.

Zhao Xing found himself in need of these, mainly due to limited access. In the Red Star Empire, there were more opportunities.

Take the simplest example of Cold Water Melons, which are delicious and refreshing. They're cheap in the Empire but if sold in ancient countries, the price jumps by ten to twenty times.

Zhao Xing's hand skimmed over the array of Preaching Jade Scrolls. As he touched them, brief transmissions of Dao Rhythm informed him about which Minister of Agriculture Law they concerned.

If it were regular books with a hundred pages, he would only glimpse the first two or three. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

When Zhao Xing reached the manual section, both Hong Qi and Lu Yuehan couldn't help but be drawn to him.

This was the section on which they had concentrated their efforts; if Zhao Xing kept walking past, their attempt to win him over would fail.

Step by step, Zhao Xing moved. His palm brushed over the items, his feet kept moving.

Lu Yuehan and Hong Qi began to feel some disappointment.

But just then, Zhao Xing stopped.

"Hmm?"

Lu Yuehan's eyes sparkled.

Because Zhao Xing picked up a Jade Scroll engraved with secret grass patterns.

The fish has finally bitten!

Strangely, Lu Yuehan felt a touch of emotion at that moment.

She, the third Miss of Yuetan Marquis Mansion, was excited and thrilled for the first time because a man took interest in something she owned.

The fact that the other party was a mere Second Realm made it all the more peculiar!

If Zhao Xing was pretending, one had to admit, he played the part well, enough to capture Lu Yuehan's attention.

"Zhao Xing, what caught your interest?" Jing Yan, who was accompanying him, was also surprised. The stage was vast.

With several thousands of treasures displayed, Zhao Xing brushed past every piece until nearly reaching the end, finally picking up a small Preaching Jade Scroll.

"A type of Grassman Skill." Zhao Xing was also surprised since he hadn't expected to find such a precious Grassman Skill here.

"Oh?" Jing Yan knew the value of the Grassman Skill. After all, during the grave excavations at the Star Wheel Maze, even the tomb owner, who had seven burial palace halls, valued the Self Sect's replicas highly. They were essentially second lives!

"Which Grassman Skill is it?" Jing Yan asked.

Zhao Xing contemplated, "A limited edition, called Giant Sun Grassman Skill."

"Never heard of it." Jing Yan slightly shook his head.
