Time flew by quickly, and Lin Qianxuan turned eight.

With sufficient nutrition, including a strong dose of calcium, he is now 1.7 meters tall.

Anyone who sees him would surely exclaim, "He's only eight?"

The nutrition Lin Qianxuan arranged for himself was much more effective than Jin Kela.

By the way, he gained a new sister, Xu Ying.

Compared to Xu Yi, Lin Qianxuan found his sister much more adorable.

Xu Yi still lacked discipline and understanding.

Lin Qianxuan continued to hit milestones.

No matter the industry, the initial milestones are easy to achieve.

Of course, this was due to his extraordinary learning ability and strong physique.

In the experimental fields, Lin Qianxuan looked at the rice ears that grew abundantly and reached his chest, nodding with satisfaction.

A yield of a thousand jin per mu was still a bit challenging, but with proper planting, a stable output of seven to eight hundred jin was achievable.

With further improvements, the results would be excellent.

Lin Qianxuan's ability to cultivate such outstanding staple crops stemmed from his previous "Plant Breeding+1" from vegetables, "Observation+1" from keeping records, "Hunting+1" from hunting... and so on.

These bonuses allowed him to more easily distinguish the quality of seed plants and successfully select the appropriate ones for breeding.

In just one season, he achieved results that would normally take decades or even centuries by chance.

A month later, Lin Qianxuan's fields began to harvest.

Lin Qianxuan harvested everything himself, without any help.

Completing a one-in-a-hundred milestone, he gained the "Harvest+1" attribute.

After loading the grain onto a cart, Lin Qianxuan took it back to his small courtyard to weigh it.

Accompanying him was Xu Ningyuan, who had been following Lin Qianxuan's experimental planting closely.

After seeing the recorded numbers, Xu Ningyuan couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Eight hundred jin per mu!" exclaimed Xu Ningyuan. "More than double a regular field."

"Senior brother, that's not the right calculation. This is an experimental field with proper fertilization and meticulous planting methods. With regular farming methods, five to six hundred jin would be quite good," Lin Qianxuan said.

"That's still a lot. Ordinary fields can't even reach four hundred jin, and that's in a good year with a bountiful harvest. If a natural disaster strikes..." Xu Ningyuan said.

"Senior brother, my initial work can only go this far," Lin Qianxuan replied.

"Xu Zhi, this is beneficial to the people of the world. You cannot abandon it halfway..." Xu Ningyuan exclaimed anxiously, persuading him earnestly.

"Senior brother, there's still much I need to do. Now that a good beginning is established, why not let you carry on?" Lin Qianxuan smiled, looking at Xu Ningyuan.

"Me?"

Xu Ningyuan was taken aback, his heart skipping a beat.

"With your devotion to the people, when the time comes, let other senior brothers manage it, grant you an official position, become an Agricultural Advisor, focus on breeding, promotion, and teaching cultivation. One day, you might even rest in the temple!" Lin Qianxuan said with a smile.

Some seek profit; some seek fame.

What Xu Ningyuan sought was undoubtedly fame.

"But this is your achievement, Xu Zhi..." Xu Ningyuan hesitated.

"Just add my name in the temple instead," Lin Qianxuan said.

He wasn't the type to bicker back and forth; what's wrong with sharing credit?

"Thank you, junior brother, for valuing me."

Xu Ningyuan paused, giving Lin Qianxuan a grand salute.

Lin Qianxuan helped him up, saying, "Senior brother, no need to be so courteous. We are from the same sect; there's no need for such words."

.....

So, Xu Ningyuan was nudged onto the stage by Lin Qianxuan; at over fifty, he started a new job.

This job wasn't easy; he couldn't manage his private school affairs. Therefore, Lin Qianxuan arranged for a senior brother from the academy to assist with teaching.

Having paid a good sum, along with the senior brother's regard for Lin Qianxuan, it was hard to refuse.

Even Lin Qianxuan himself went to teach, conducting a hundred lessons at a fundamental level, earning a "Teaching+1" milestone.

Although they no longer lived in the village, Lin Qianxuan and his family continued to care for it.

Xu Wang even helped the villagers find work where he could.

Near the year's end, when Lin Qianxuan turned eight, trouble arose in the Great South.

First, a flood disaster during the rainy season, followed by cold weather, left many people displaced. Then came military turmoil with people seizing the opportunity to rebel. The court dispatched troops to suppress, allocated funds for disaster relief only to have them embezzled. Hearing these successive stories from afar made Lin Qianxuan sigh.

Soon, Lin Qianxuan turned nine.

He took part in the county examination.

After passing, he smoothly attained the status of a Provincial Scholar.

[Tip: You achieved first place in the county examination, earning the "One in a Thousand" Level Milestone [Provincial Scholar].]

[Provincial Scholar: Learning+3. (Note: It was no challenge for you, was it?)]

With this status, Lin Qianxuan should have gone to the capital to plan for further examinations.

However, at this time, chaos was everywhere, and it was said that there were uprising forces again, making the journey to the capital difficult.

It seemed that since the end of last year, rebellions had been occurring one after another.

The court couldn't suppress them anymore.

Of course, it made sense that the court couldn't suppress them.

The disaster relief funds and grains never truly reached the places they were meant to; they had been consumed cleanly along the way.

If people have no options, they can only revolt, struggle, and snatch.

The outside chaos caused Lin Qianxuan to temporarily shelve his plans to achieve milestones.

Even Xiaojiang Prefecture was somewhat unsettled.

Since the middle of last year, Du Fuchen had been pushing a new commercial law, reducing the merchant tax for ordinary lower-level merchants to encourage commerce, but increasing merchant taxes for large-scale Aristocratic Families.

This move disrupted many people's interests.

But there were also national supports for him, as the court needed funds urgently.

It's not just disaster relief, but also deploying troops to quell rebellions, which clearly reveals the powerlessness.

So they decided to scrape some oil from the hands of the aristocratic families.

But is it that easy to scrape oil from the aristocratic families?

Families of a thousand years, dynasties of a hundred years.

Even if the country collapses, the aristocratic families remain.

Do they care about the state of your country?

Meanwhile, the court took a tougher stance, enforcing reforms with violence, leading to some chaos among the masses.

A major case occurred in Xiaojiang Prefecture.

A court convoy transporting disaster relief food and funds vanished near Xiaojiang Prefecture.

The food and money were gone, as well as the hundred-person escort army.

They were all killed cleanly.

This was a signal from the aristocratic families that if things continued like this, they wouldn't just sit idly by.

At the same time, it was also causing trouble for the relevant personnel.

The investigation stalled on the road, and the case progressed slowly.

Many relevant personnel were withdrawn.

An official from Xiaojiang Prefecture investigated too deeply, and his entire family of thirteen was slaughtered.

Who did it was no longer important; finding a scapegoat to close the case became the most crucial thing.

However, Du Fuchen stubbornly refused to back down and insisted on confronting it head-on.

For a time, Xiaojiang Prefecture was in chaos.

Baiyang County, Yimin Academy.

Lin Qianxuan and Zhu Junhao were playing chess.

"Teacher, I have a thought to rectify Heaven and Earth," Lin Qianxuan said as he placed a piece.

"You're only nine years old," Zhu Junhao replied.

"Aspiration is not determined by age," Lin Qianxuan answered.

"I've heard your martial arts have improved greatly," Zhu Junhao inquired.

"Within two hundred steps, my arrows never miss, and with a long sword in hand, I can defeat ten fully armored soldiers. If unarmed, even against a hundred men, I am confident of victory. Of course, if I can keep my distance, with my speed faster than a horse and enough arrows, I could kill hundreds of troops. Without arrows, I can use flying stones, their damage isn't much less. Hitting lethal points always leads to death..." Lin Qianxuan roughly explained.

Many milestones enhance his stamina, strength, agility, and reflexes.

For instance, "harvest" in farming, "carpentry" and "carving" in craftsmanship all boost strength, finger dexterity, agility, and endurance.

There's also "planting," "swordsmanship," "fighting," "horsemanship," "archery"...

Although Lin Qianxuan is only nine years old, his body's comprehensive attributes are almost three times that of an average person.

These figures are quite exaggerated.

He can lift objects weighing over a ton for long periods without damaging his muscles and bones, and with his exertion skills, he can cover a hundred-meter distance in three to four seconds with full force explosion.

Currently, Lin Qianxuan is already like half a superman.

It's just his endurance and recovery that still need improvement, or else single-handedly sweeping an entire army wouldn't be a joke.

Zhu Junhao didn't think Lin Qianxuan was boasting.

He had seen Lin Qianxuan's weightlifting form.

The giant stone in his courtyard was personally carried back from the mountain by Lin Qianxuan, a stone that four or five men couldn't lift, yet Lin Qianxuan carried it for over ten miles, even accomplishing a milestone on the way.

And the prey Lin Qianxuan brought back.

Putting aside things like mountain chickens and wild rabbits, he had caught wild boars weighing over a hundred pounds and eagles spreading wings that almost covered a child.

There's just no tiger in the area, or else Zhu Junhao believed Lin Qianxuan could certainly take one down.

"Zhi'Er, you may seem like a celestial being, but you're still too young and unaware of the wickedness of human hearts, perhaps you should stay in the academy for a few more years..." Zhu Junhao advised.

"I also know the techniques of insight into human hearts," Lin Qianxuan replied, placing another piece down. "Teacher, the game is over."

Zhu Junhao looked at the chessboard and suddenly smiled.

This disciple was more mature and cautious than he expected.

That was quite good.

"In that case, go and assist your senior brother," Zhu Junhao said.

"Yes, Teacher, I take my leave."

Lin Qianxuan stood up, performed a ceremonial bow, and turned to leave.

He then returned home, packed his belongings, and set off in the direction of Xiaojiang Prefecture.

He didn't plan to take a carriage, as he wanted to complete a walking milestone.

Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles, isn't it a life achievement?

Lin Qianxuan walked briskly, and before long, he had left Baiyang County.

It wasn't his first time leaving this place, but it was his first solo journey.

Within just a few hours and before nightfall, Lin Qianxuan had walked over a hundred miles.

This was near Taoshan County.

As the name suggests, there were many peach trees.

Lin Qianxuan heard about tiger problems in the area last year, wondering if he could shoot down the tigers on Taoshan along the way.

As night fell, Lin Qianxuan chose a sheltered spot to set up a makeshift shelter, roasting a wild rabbit he had just shot on a stone oven, along with some plant stalks wrapped in mud.

He had mastered cooking and wilderness survival, and with his herbal identification and terrain exploration skills, he could live quite comfortably even in the wild.

Suddenly, Lin Qianxuan's ears subtly moved as he heard some sounds.

His hearing had also increased thanks to quickening milestone boosts.

"Insight +1," "Observation +1," "Hearing +1," "Detail Control +1," with these attribute boosts, he could roughly determine the situation of the other party without lying on the ground.

A person, direction southwest, stumbling footsteps, approximately ninety catties in weight, considering this weight, unlikely to be a hunting hunter, more likely a medicine gatherer or a regular villager, with disordered, heavy breathing. Judging by the lung function, around forty years old, and male...

"Five, four, three, two, one..."

Lin Qianxuan counted silently, and when he reached one, the figure appeared in front of him.
