Shennong Dao Master

As Zhao Xing achieved enlightenment, his body's Qi and Primordial Energy were simultaneously mobilized.

Accumulated over time, it led to a terrifying outburst of Primordial Energy.

In other words, Zhao Xing was now overtraining in cultivation.

Acting too hastily, he touched the limits of his body's tolerance.

Touching the limit might lead to a breakthrough, but more often it results in a backlash.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but shudder. Was this also the reason for Lao Liu's madness?

"You seem influenced by something, rushing too much," Li Boqian stared at Zhao Xing, "Could it be from the opinions within the Academic Palace?"

Zhao Xing said, "Yes, I am indeed a bit anxious."

"Stay grounded, don't rush to achieve success." Li Boqian advised, "You have a very strong talent, already faster than many."

"From today, reduce the time spent understanding 'Near and Far', don't come here to comprehend daily, change your mindset."

"Please, senior, show me the right path."

"You are a Doctor of Governance; you could look more into Minister of Agriculture Classics, teach lessons to students." Li Boqian said, "Sometimes, revisiting those obvious basic knowledge will make your path more stable."

"Yes." Zhao Xing cupped his hands, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance. From today, I will halve my comprehension time."

Li Boqian was speechless, this kid halving it was still six hours.

For the past month, he hardly slept.

"It's still too long; you should only practice for two hours daily until I feel your foundation is solid enough to consider extension."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

...

From that day, Zhao Xing followed Li Boqian's instructions, reduced the spell practice time, and returned to studying the Heavenly Time theories.

However, when Zhao Xing went to teach, only a mere seven students attended.

Among them, three had disdainful expressions, clearly not coming to learn seriously but to make trouble.

Another two were there with a spectator mentality, leaving only two genuinely intending to listen and learn.

The reason was simple: other Doctors of Governance had too many students attending their classes, which meant almost no opportunity to ask questions.

With fewer people at Zhao Xing's lessons, there were more chances to seek advice.

Since he's an officially certified Doctor of Governance, he should have some capability, right?

Although this Doctor Zhao only teaches one class a month, which some criticize.

"Heavenly Time Skill, Five Elements correspond with the Four Seasons, Earth matches with Summer..."

"Doctor Zhao!" As Zhao Xing just started speaking, an eighth-grade student immediately stood up and interrupted.

Zhao Xing was not angry at this sight, just quietly watched him.

"What is your question?"

"Doctor Zhao," Liu Hui said with a half-smile, "Five Elements and Four Seasons theory is just an old cliché, my ears have grown calluses from hearing it."

"Since Doctor Zhao specializes in Five Elements Heavenly Time classics, what unique and profound views do you have?"

Liu Hui was there purely to stir trouble; he studied under another Doctor of Governance, Zhou Cheng.

He was initially the one who planned to challenge Zhao Xing, seeking to cause problems.

Even today, people still have their eyes on Zhao Xing's position.

There's no way around it, as Zhao Xing occupies resources, and those benefiting won't easily let go of him.

"Doctor Zhao, perhaps you haven't annotated the classics." Liu Hui sneered, "If so, what qualifies you as a Doctor of Governance? Why not yield the position to a worthy talent?"

Faced with such rude provocations, Zhao Xing remained calm, closed his book, nodded, "Since that's the case, let's not discuss those clichéd topics today."

"What does Doctor Zhao intend to talk about? The Great View Scripture? Hahaha." Liu Hui mocked.

The Great View Scripture is a classic text of the Self Sect, and this scoundrel was purely being a Yin Yang Person.

"Today, we will discuss the 'Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory'." Zhao Xing said calmly.

Liu Hui below suddenly fell silent.

Because he had never heard of such a theory.

He planned to wait until Zhao Xing finished to find errors.

Another student who came to learn, Han Guang, asked, "May I ask, teacher, what is the Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory?"

"Three Yin and Three Yang are respectively Jueyin, Lesser Yin, Taiyin, Lesser Yang, Yangming, and Sun."

"The Six Qi are Yin, Yang, Wind, Rain, Dark, and Bright, corresponding to the six natural climate phenomena.

"They also correspond to human perceptions: Wind, Cold, Heat, Dryness, Dampness, Fire."

"I divide the Heavenly Time phenomena into cycles of thirty years, sixty years being a cycle, three hundred sixty years being one major cycle, and three thousand six hundred years being one Grand Circulation."

"The annual Four Seasons align with the Five Elements fortune, called 'Heavenly Time Season Fortune'; the annual Heavenly Time aligns with five-step seasonal fortune, starting from Wood Transport Season to Fire Transport Season, Earth Season, Gold Transport Season, and ending with Water Transport Season."

"The Four Seasons and Five Elements mutually generate and operate, each step lasting seventy-three days and five moments."

Liu Hui frowned; he mentally calculated and found this division method, although somewhat unconventional, did not deviate from the current 'Five Elements and Four Seasons Theory', so he decided to listen a bit longer.

As for the other two, one student named Lin Yuejia took advantage of the pause to ask, "Teacher, why do you call the Five Elements and Four Seasons Five Fortune?"

"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, are originally the names of the Five Elements. Now I call them Five Fortune, naturally, there is a difference." Zhao Xing smiled, "Fortune implies movement; the Five Elements mostly explain changes in earthly matter, while Five Fortune encompasses the movement of the Five Elements Qi throughout the entire heaven and earth."

"Do you need me to further explain how the Heavenly Stems and Five Fortune correspond?" Zhao Xing asked.

Lin Yuejia is a relatively rare student. From the first lesson given, she has been attending without interruption.

In the past, he used to slack off, basically reading from the book, yet Lin Yuejia never missed a class and always showed great respect.
