Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 341 Giant Python Appears in Scenic Area
Compared to the farm, Xu Yue paid far less attention to the agricultural trading company.

The company's offices are not located in the village.

Huang Liang obviously didn't visit Xu Yue as frequently as Tian Yizhi.

This time, they weren't actually looking for Xu Yue, but for Tian Yizhi.

It was for that batch of rice from the desert farm.

Or rather, it's for all the rice on the farm.

This year, thanks to the tens of thousands of acres of rice paddies in the desert farm, the quantity of rice is significantly greater than last year.

I arrived just in time for lunch, intending to have a drink with Tian Yizhi, but ended up mooching a meal off the boss.

As for the boss's friend who owns a restaurant?
He understood what those words meant without needing further explanation.

“Although there is a lot of rice in this batch, it won’t be difficult to sell it,” Huang Liang said. “It mainly depends on how much the farm wants to keep for brewing.”

"You discuss this with Lao Tian, ​​I won't interfere."

Xu Yue waved his hand and said.

Anyway, he kept those dozen or so acres of rice for himself.

They definitely couldn't eat that much.

But aren't there other people?
We also need to send some out.

“Longhu Mountain came to us wanting to buy Taoyuan rice,” Huang Liang continued. “In addition, Wudang Mountain and Shaolin Temple also came to us. They are basically all after Taoyuan rice, and they also want to buy some other things from the farm.”

Huang Liang didn't know much about the martial arts world, but he had heard of it to some extent.

Those who came knocking on our door must be the so-called major martial arts sects.

This left Huang Liang somewhat undecided.

Of course, the majority of customers are still those high-end restaurants.

“Sell them,” Xu Yue said. “What difference does it make who we sell to? Their spending potential is huge. They belong to a large customer group.”

If it can be bought with money, then those people will no longer have any crooked ideas.

Therefore, Xu Yue never intended to restrict them from the very beginning.

As for whether their cultivation would improve even faster after eating it, that's a minor issue.

Nowadays, that rice would certainly not be available to ordinary people.

The demand for high-end dining is not yet fully met.

Besides, most people can't afford it.

"it is good!"

Huang Liang nodded.

Those people have a considerable demand; they are indeed a large customer group.

The group chatted for a while, and soon Mu Chuan and the others returned.

This lunch was still very plentiful, even more plentiful than last night's.

After all, with a few more people, there are a few more dishes.

After the meal, Tian Yizhi and the others left.

"How about we have crayfish tonight?" Xu Yue asked Mu Chuan and the others with a smile, adding, "We also have loach, eel, and soft-shelled turtle. If you want some, how about we go fishing for them later? It's not too hot today."

Is it hot?

It's still hot, just relatively better.

At least today is a cloudy day, and there's no bright sunshine.

"Crayfish? Eels? Loaches? Soft-shelled turtles?" Yu Zhenhua said. "These shouldn't be easy to catch, right?"

"Great fishing!" Xu Yue said. "Catching enough to eat is a piece of cake."

The others, upon hearing this, naturally had no objections, and some were even eager to try it out.

“I go fishing occasionally, but I don’t really catch crayfish,” Yu Zhenhua said. “It’s a pity I didn’t bring any equipment this time, otherwise I could have tried out your fishing spot.”

“There are fishing tackle rentals over there,” Xu Yue said. “You don’t need to buy any new tackle if you want to try it out.”

"Is it?"

Yu Zhenhua's eyes lit up, seemingly tempted.

Mu Chuan was fine; he was usually very busy and had no time to go fishing.

However, whether it's fishing or catching crayfish, it's actually quite fun.

At least the four of them, including Yu Zhenhua, had a great time.

The next day, the four of them prepared to go to Mount Emei to watch the sunrise.

Since we're already here, we might as well take a look around.

As for whether they will be able to see the sunrise, Xu Yue couldn't guarantee it.

After all, there are quite a few rainy days on Mount Emei.

They stayed there for one night before returning to Taoyuan Village. After returning, they stayed one more night before saying goodbye and leaving.

Xu Yue took them to the airport.

They also gave me some wine and tea as a gift.

They didn't stand on ceremony with Xu Yue.

Perhaps it was because they knew Xu Yue didn't lack those things.

Perhaps it's too good to refuse.

After the person left, Xu Yue's life returned to normal.

But before he could even have a couple of days of free time, Yu Suihai called.

"I'm going into the mountains."

Xu Yue hung up the phone and said goodbye to Zhang Ruoxi.

"A giant python has come to the Hundred Birds Forest."

Xu Yue shook his head, somewhat speechless.

"A giant python?" Zhang Ruoxi was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Is it treating the Hundred Birds Forest as its food storehouse?"

Pythons eat birds.

Of course, what attracted the python there, besides the abundance of birds as its food, was the richer spiritual energy of the area.

Xu Yue set up a snake-driving formation.

Isn't a python a snake?
This puzzled Xu Yue.

The atmosphere there should have been repulsive to the giant python.

Of course, in addition to driving away snakes, they also drive away other animals.

However, there are also insect-attracting arrays.

Lend some small insects over there to feed the birds.

"Did that giant python hurt anyone?"

Zhang Ruoxi continued to ask.

The appearance of a large python in a scenic area is definitely not a good thing for the area.

"Visitors are not allowed to enter the Bird Forest; they can only be viewed from a distance," Xu Yue said. "Naturally, no one was injured."

"It's good that no one was hurt," Zhang Ruoxi said. "Fortunately, it only happened in the Bird Forest, not in a crowded tourist area."

“Animals generally stay away from people,” Xu Yue said. “The Hundred Birds Forest is an exception.”

"Master Yu called you not to ask you to deal with that giant python, but to check out that formation, right?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "With Master Yu's level of cultivation, he should be able to drive away that giant python with his aura."

"Perhaps, we'll only know after we go up and see," Xu Yue said. "Didn't the Taoist temple have had giant pythons appear before?"

As he spoke, Xu Yue walked out of the room and headed into the mountains.

When pythons appear in scenic areas, the forestry bureau is usually the person who should be contacted.

Xu Yue did not know whether the scenic area had contacted the forestry bureau.

Whether he looked for it or not, he had to go.

Perhaps, there's no need to look.

The Forestry Bureau has always paid close attention to the Bai Niao Lin area.

Xu Yue encountered many tourists along the way up the mountain.

The sound system in this scenic area is quite good.

It's not peak tourist season right now.

This awful weather isn't suitable for travel either.

too hot.

Are you still there?

Xu Yue went to the Hundred Birds Forest and met Yu Suihai.

Many people were still taking photos of the microscopic objects, and some information could be gleaned from their conversations.

Are these people really that bold?

There are far too many Chinese people who display unparalleled courage just to watch the spectacle.

Besides, the giant python was in the forest below, far away from them.

If they really come towards them, they will have plenty of time to run away.

The python's speed was only so-so.

"What about that?"

Yu Suihai pointed to a spot not far away. Xu Yue glanced over and realized that unless he had sharp eyes or prior knowledge, he might not have noticed it.

Was that python big?
It was bigger than the python at the Taoist temple last time, and even more formidable than the python Xu Yue had encountered before.

It's hard to say how long it is, but it's as thick as a water bucket.

Of course, it's not the bucket used for water-drinking in rural areas, but rather the mineral water bottle on a water dispenser.

"Have the forestry bureau people arrived?" Xu Yue asked. "Should we just scare them away?"

“It’s easy to scare them away, but I’m afraid they’ll come back,” Yu Suihai said. “Is the Hundred Birds Forest alright?”

what is the problem?
Naturally, it refers to the formations inside.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Yue was invited.

A giant python? Yu Suihai, a third-realm expert, can't even handle it?
He just doesn't want to treat the symptoms, he wants to address the root cause.

Xu Yue shook his head.

The formation of the Bird Embracing Forest was not destroyed.

As for why?

Xu Yue still had some guesses.

"There's something here that he hates, but there's also something that attracts him."

Xu Yue smiled and said something, then stepped forward. The python seemed to be startled, looked around, and then went deeper into the forest, gradually disappearing from sight.

Is there any way?

Yu Suihai asked.

Xu Yue's meaning is actually not difficult to understand.

It's like finding delicious food in the outhouse.

The latrine smells terrible, but the food smells delicious.

Some people can't eat it, but there are always others who can.

Especially those who are hungry may not necessarily be unable to eat.

If they offered another sum of money, I think many people would be willing to do it.

Of course, the analogy wasn't quite right, but Yu Suihai clearly understood it.

The principle behind insect-repelling arrays is that they make insects feel disgusted and afraid, causing them to leave automatically or even stay away.

But the Hundred Birds Formation has a spiritual formation, with a richer spiritual energy, which naturally attracts animals to gather.

Like the Taoist temple before.

If the Hundred Birds Forest hadn't set up other formations, it would have attracted all the surrounding animals long ago.

"Want to come in for a cup of tea?"

Yu Suihai glanced at the tourists around him, then spoke to Xu Yue.

Xu Yue nodded.

Yu Suihai naturally had no shortage of good tea.

After all, the farm's tea production is very high these days.

Of course, that tea was from the tea mountain, not the tea that Xu Yue dug up from the mountain.

"Just make do with this!" Yu Suihai said with a smile. "There's a spirit array in the Hundred Birds Forest. The spiritual energy should become more and more concentrated over time, right?"

Xu Yue nodded.

"Then what comes next might not be a giant python, but something else," Yu Suihai said. "Every sip and every bite is a blessing in disguise. Judging from your expression, you must have a solution?"

When attraction outweighs aversion and fear, it's not hard to understand why other wild animals are drawn to the surrounding area.

The richer the spiritual energy, the greater its attraction to those animals.

"With a few minor modifications, the power of those expulsion formations will also increase as the spiritual energy becomes richer," Xu Yue said. "However, with so many people around, let's discuss it later."

Yu Suihai nodded.

If Xu Yue can solve it, then it's naturally not a problem.

"By the way," Yu Suihai suddenly asked, "are you interested in Taoist formations?"

Xu Yue glanced at Yu Suihai and nodded.

"Yes, but not much," Xu Yue said. "There are still many formations in the farming community that I don't understand, so how could I have the energy to study the formations in the Taoist community? At most, I'll just take a look and satisfy my curiosity."

Yu Suihai glanced at Xu Yue, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he sighed.

If it's just out of curiosity, then the value of that formation is greatly diminished.

"Master Yu, is there something you need?"

Seeing Yu Suihai's expression, Xu Yue couldn't help but ask a question, and then his expression became somewhat ambiguous, as if he were smiling but not smiling.

Is he trying to make a deal with me by offering Taoist formations?

The elixir formulas of Qingcheng Mountain may not have originated solely from Qingcheng Mountain; they may have come from the entire Taoist community.

Of course, that was just Xu Yue's guess.

Within Taoism, there are also different factions.

The greater their own interest, the stronger their bargaining power becomes.

But Xu Yue wasn't interested.

This wasn't Xu Yue deliberately "lowering the price" because he saw through Yu Suihai's thoughts.

"Qingcheng Mountain would like to ask you to set up some formations," Yu Suihai said. "We would be embarrassed to ask you for nothing, but we don't know what we could do to impress you, so we asked you this question."

"What kind of formation?" Xu Yue asked. "Those spirit-gathering formations, there should be some on Mount Qingcheng too, right?"

“Yes!” Yu Suihai nodded and said, “But it’s not quite the same. Of course, the main thing is to arrange the vegetable gardens on the mountain like those in Taoyuan Village.”

Xu Yue was a little surprised.

"This request is indeed a bit excessive, although there aren't many vegetable gardens on the mountain."

Yu Suihai sighed; he really didn't want to bring it up.

If the vegetable gardens on Qingcheng Mountain were set up with spirit arrays, they could be partially self-sufficient.

That would be a loss for Xu Yue.

After all, even if he can still make money from Qingcheng Mountain in the future, it will definitely be much less.

This has a hint of undermining someone's foundation.

"You want to trade Taoist formations for me to set up formations in your vegetable garden on Qingcheng Mountain?" Xu Yue said. "That's not impossible."

Did Xu Yue suffer any losses?

There must be.

It wasn't as big as I imagined, and it didn't even have much of an impact.

Unless Qingcheng Mountain can replicate his peasant formations.

Can it?

If it could be copied, it would have been copied already.

Are the formations in Peach Blossom Village not open to others to study?

Did Xu Yue try to stop it?

No!

Farmhouse formations are somewhat related to feng shui formations, which is why Guo Tianyou and others were able to set up some formations.

It can only be arranged in a few places.

There are many things they cannot arrange.

But without Xu Yue's instruction, it would have been impossible for them to research it on their own.

Let alone them, even Ye Chenguang probably couldn't replicate it.

How much money do you need for vegetables from Qingcheng Mountain?

Then let's earn a little less. Does Xu Yue really need that much?
To satisfy his curiosity and deepen his relationship with Qingcheng Mountain, Xu Yue really didn't mind making a deal.

"really?"

Yu Suihai looked at Xu Yue with some surprise.

He felt that Qin Xuyue's arrangement of the formation for Qingcheng Mountain was a bit excessive.

But Xu Yue actually agreed.

Didn't he have no interest in Taoist formations?

“The Academy of Agricultural Sciences has leased quite a bit of land in Taoyuan Village,” Xu Yue said. “Qingcheng Mountain is probably growing crops for its own consumption, right? It won’t steal my business, so why should I refuse?”

"Thank you so much!" Yu Suihai said with a smile. "I'll send those things to you later. Take a look and decide how much vegetable garden you can set up for Qingcheng Mountain."

That would be an unimaginable benefit for Qingcheng Mountain.

Putting everything else aside, having more skilled players would definitely be a great advantage.

“Okay!” Xu Yue said, “However, we should wait until the Agricultural Science and Technology College is on track.”

"Of course!"

Yu Suihai nodded.

He was aware of the importance of the Agricultural Science and Technology College.

With the start of the new school term just around the corner, Xu Yue simply couldn't find the time to leave.

Besides, Zhang Ruoxi is currently pregnant.
