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

Chapter 362 What are you interested in, fellow Daoist?

Gong Dajun ordered leather shoes from Li Weihai.
Xu Yue was not surprised.

Nowadays, almost all the prominent people in Gong'an City place their orders with him.

Besides its genuinely good technology, the main reason it has created a trend is that it has become popular.

It seems that ordering leather shoes from him is a prestigious thing to do.

As for how it started, it's probably related to Shen Jianjun and Tie Fumin.

The two of them are definitely the most representative figures in the business community of Gong'an City.

Of course, Xu Yue played a significant role in this.

"Can you come to Taoyuan Village for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Xu Yue asked. "Can you keep your shop open?"

“No problem,” Li Weihai said. “Just have the people you hired watch the shop. In our line of work, there’s no rule about taking time off on time. Whether it’s paying extra or making up for lost time, it’s no problem.”

"Okay, you can get back to work!"

Xu Yue nodded, then left the shop without saying much more, and ran into a few more people walking into the shop.

Whether or not they ultimately make a purchase, the foot traffic is already quite good.

"Boss, that guy who just went out, doesn't he look like the owner of Peach Blossom Farm? Is he?"

As a customer watched Xu Yue's departing figure, he asked about Li Weihai.

"you know?"

Before Li Weihai could speak, the person next to him asked with a smile.

That's the owner of Peach Blossom Farm.

That person was too far away from them.

“Of course I know him. I even went to his wedding banquet,” the man said. “He even toasted me back then.”

"Really?" the man's friend asked. "Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

“She was just embarrassed,” another friend said. “She was visiting Taoyuan Village when she went there and spent two hundred yuan to get two free meals. The whole table was filled with the finest dishes from Taoyuan Village. You might not be able to get this kind of food even if you spent twenty thousand yuan at Shuxiang Pavilion or Yuelai Hotel.”

"How can you be so shameless as to only give a two-hundred-yuan gift?"

The friend felt envious, jealous, and somewhat annoyed.

Why didn't I go to Peach Blossom Village back then?
I remember making a promise to myself back then, why didn't I go?

"I'd like to give more too, but..."

"If the conditions don't allow it, you can still afford to give an extra two hundred. You're just being stingy!"

"They only charge two hundred, even if you want to give more, they won't accept it."

Others were surprised: are there limits on the amount of wedding gifts now?
real or fake?

Everyone then looked at Li Weihai, feeling that Li Weihai and Xu Yue should know each other.

“I didn’t originally plan to accept gifts. However, I later felt that giving a gift is also a kind of blessing, and it would be bad to refuse, so I set a price of two hundred yuan,” Li Weihai said. “In addition, the wedding guests were mainly farm employees. Tourists were also welcome at the time.”

"The boss knows all this? Are you very familiar with the owner of Taoyuan Farm?"

One of them asked in surprise.

"Yes, we're close. He's my cousin, the biological kind."

Li Weihai said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned.

Cousin?

I wish I had such an awesome cousin.

Li Weihai simply smiled at this.

This isn't the first time I've been asked this question.

Many people know about this now.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with talking about it.

I have such an awesome cousin, and I can't even tell anyone about it?
So what if my efforts are overshadowed by this identity?
Besides, isn't his current success thanks to his cousin?

This shop was opened because of Xu Yue.

The shop's business is so good because of Xu Yue.

Did he work hard?

effort!

But sometimes, effort is the most useless thing.

After delivering the mooncakes, Xu Yue returned to Taoyuan Village.

"I'm going to Qingcheng Mountain tomorrow," Xu Yue said to Zhang Ruoxi. "I'll have to go sooner or later, so I might as well go sooner."

“Aren’t Guo Tianyou and the others back for the Mid-Autumn Festival?” Zhang Ruoxi nodded and said, “Inviting them along should save a lot of trouble.”

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded; he had already planned to invite them anyway.

Bringing along two third-realm feng shui masters would be a way to showcase the strength of Peach Blossom Village.

Although a major sect like Qingcheng Mountain is well aware of the strength of Taoyuan Village.

But it has other uses as well.

I've already accepted the payment from Qingcheng Mountain, so it wouldn't be appropriate to delay it too long.

Then we might as well go sooner.

I happen to have some free time these past two days.

Once everything is settled, we can go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll probably start getting busy with things in Lijia Village.

Xu Yue then made a phone call to Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji.

There's no problem over there, of course.

Qingcheng Mountain is very large, but the area that needs to be set up is definitely not large.

A day trip might be a bit rushed, but two or three days should be enough to get it done.

It doesn't affect their spending the Mid-Autumn Festival at home at all.

Needless to say, Guo Tianyou was also brought to Taoyuan Village by Liu Chengji's family.

The environment of Peach Blossom Village is indeed suitable for cultivators to live in.

Of course, in addition to giving them their phone numbers, Yu Suihai's phone number was also given to them.

The next day, we need to drive there.

Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji did not use the road; instead, they drove to the destination separately.

Yu Suihai returned to Qingcheng Mountain ahead of schedule after receiving a phone call yesterday.

When Xu Yue and his two companions arrived at the foot of Mount Qingcheng, Yu Suihai and many Taoist priests from Mount Qingcheng were already waiting there.

Xu Yue's visit this time is of extraordinary significance to Qingcheng Mountain.

Once the formation is complete, the benefits to Qingcheng Mountain will be astonishing.

Besides Yu Suihai, Xu Yue also knew Zhang Shaohua, who had come when Yu Suihai broke through to the third realm.

Zhang Shaohua is a cultivator at the third level of spiritual cultivation, but he is not the leader of Qingcheng Mountain.

The leader of Qingcheng Mountain is Liu Xuanbin, who is also the head of the Daoist sect in Shuzhou.

It's not the fourth realm, but it's a dual cultivation of spirit and martial arts, and both have reached the third realm.

Their combat strength is definitely stronger than that of an average third-realm cultivator.

Xu Yue even felt that he had already stepped halfway into the fourth realm.

Liu Xuanbin looks to be in his fifties, but he is very energetic.

However, Xu Yue is certain that he is actually much older.

In short, it's about having the secret to staying young.

Qingcheng Mountain naturally treated Xu Yue and his group with great hospitality.

Even if Xu Yue's trip was not intended to help Qingcheng Mountain, but rather just for sightseeing, he would still be treated with great enthusiasm.

The two sides already had a good relationship, and Xu Yue himself was a cultivator at the fourth realm.

Moreover, he is likely the youngest cultivator at the fourth realm, both domestically and internationally.

"Let's go check out the land first!"

Xu Yue spoke up, saying that if he didn't say it, the other party probably wouldn't have the nerve to say it either.

Liu Xuanbin naturally had no objections.

The reception for Xu Yue and his entourage was very high-level, but not all of them accompanied him.

Aside from Yu Suihai, who had a very good relationship with Xu Yue, only Zhang Shaohua, who had had contact with Xu Yue, accompanied Liu Xuanbin.

A group of six.

There isn't much land in Qingcheng Mountain.

There are some on the mountain, and there are some at the foot of the mountain.

However, lightning strikes are not frequent.

Qingcheng Mountain did not rent any new land because of Xu Yue's formation.

Those vegetable gardens are all carefully tended.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Xu."

After circling around, Liu Xuanbin spoke to Xu Yue.

"No trouble."

Xu Yue politely declined, then began to lead Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji in setting up the formation. Liu Xuanbin and the other two then prepared to leave.

This is something that needs to be deliberately avoided.

“We don’t need to deliberately avoid setting up our formation,” Xu Yue said with a smile. “Master Yu is well aware of this.”

"This"

Liu Xuanbin looked at Yu Suihai in shock, and seeing him nod, he was at a loss for words.

Should we not avoid it?
Does this mean you don't mind others learning it, or that you're not afraid of others learning it?

Whatever it is, this is extremely rare.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Xu."

Liu Xuanbin is skilled in both spiritual and martial arts, and also has some understanding of formations.

Xu Yue had gained some inspiration from his previous conversation with him.

This is also why Xu Yue kept him.

He also gained something from the exchange.

As for being learned?
They can't learn the core concepts.

Xu Yue was confident about this.

Why couldn't Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji set up some of the traditional farming formations?
Don't they understand?
Understand!
Xu Yue held nothing back from them, yet they still couldn't make any arrangements.

This is a limitation inherent in their cultivation practice.

Feng shui is a spiritual practice, not a method of cultivating qi.

Even if one cultivates Qi, it would be very difficult if it weren't for the true Qi of the Farmer's School.

The same applies to Liu Xuanbin and others.

Besides, even if someone has amazing eyesight, they might not be able to learn it.

Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji were able to use feng shui techniques to set up some farm formations because Xu Yue not only gave them the formation diagrams but also taught them step by step.

Therefore, he did not believe that Yoo Hyun-bin and his group could learn from it.

However, it should be somewhat enlightening.

Xu Yue wouldn't mind discussing it with them and getting some inspiration from it.

Xu Yue is not one to hoard his own possessions; otherwise, he wouldn't have established the Agricultural Science and Technology College.

He doesn't mind other practitioners using the Farmer's Breathing Method.

This is why Xu Yue previously discussed the restoration of the ancient tomb breathing method.

This world needs farmers who cultivate themselves.

“We can plant some fruit trees and tea trees on the array nodes,” Xu Yue said. “Their quality will be quite good. Of course, other types of trees can also be used as nodes.”

Liu Xuanbin glanced at Yu Suihai, and seeing him nod, he pondered for a moment before making a decision.

"How about using fruit trees from the foot of the mountain and tea trees from the top?" Liu Xuanbin asked. "I'll have someone deliver whatever you need. Are there any requirements regarding the variety or size of the fruit and tea trees?"

"You can decide the size and variety yourself," Xu Yue said. "However, if you want something to eat, go for the larger one. But it's hard to say how good the quality will be in the first year."

The spiritual energy nourishment in the first year is limited, but the quality is definitely much better than ordinary ones.

From now on, each year will be better than the last.

This is the case with Taoyuan Village.

Other trees are also feasible.

However, tea trees and fruit trees offer better value for money.

Those who follow the Taoist path naturally have a need for both tea and fruit.

Every year, Qingcheng Mountain buys a lot of fruit and tea from farms.

Xu Yue and his group set off early in the morning and arrived before 10 a.m., but by the time they finished their tour, it was already noon.

We ate our meal on the mountain.

The vegetarian meal should use ingredients from Taoyuan Village.

It tastes great.

Xu Yue couldn't help but compare it to his mother's cooking skills.

Can't compare.

Li Xiurong's cooking skills are actually quite good, but they can't stand up to comparison.

This must have been a special treat for Xu Yue and his group.

Normally, I wouldn't think I'd be so extravagant.

"Poor hospitality!"

Liu Xuanbin even gave a polite reply.

Xu Yue and the other two exchanged pleasantries with smiles.

Qingcheng Mountain is now a Quanzhen Taoist site; do you really expect them to prepare lavish feasts for you?

After the meal, Xu Yue and his group began marking the nodes of the formation, and then the Taoists from Qingcheng Mountain began planting tea and fruit trees.

No workers were hired; the Taoist priests on the mountain did all the work.

Judging from their methods, they seem to frequently engage in physically demanding labor.

It seems they don't just sit in meditation and chant sutras while greeting tourists.

They also participate in labor.

Those fields on and at the foot of the mountain, I guess they really were cultivated by themselves.

It's impossible to finish in one afternoon.

Even though there isn't much farmland in Qingcheng Mountain.

That night, Xu Yue and his two companions stayed in a guest room at a Taoist temple on the mountain.

Although there are many tourists at Qingcheng Mountain, the mountain is quiet and peaceful at night, unlike home.

Xu Yue couldn't resist going out for a walk and even video-called Zhang Ruoxi.

"The night view of Qingcheng Mountain is quite nice."

Zhang Ruoxi looked at the scenery shown in the video and spoke.

“It’s really good,” Xu Yue said. “Qingcheng’s scenery is truly unparalleled.”

"Will you be able to finish your work by tomorrow?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "Didn't they ask you to set up a spirit-gathering array at their mountain gate or anything?"

“Qingcheng Mountain has a spirit-gathering array,” Xu Yue said. “Taoist arrays also have their unique features.”

Xu Yue guessed that not only Qingcheng Mountain had it, but other major sects must have it as well.

This is the foundation of a great school.

Spirit gathering arrays are not only found in farming families; Taoist and Buddhist sects likely possess them as well.

It's just a little different from the spirit-gathering array used by farmers.

The Farmhouse Spirit Gathering Array is more like a Spirit Transformation Array.

Transform the earth's energy into spiritual energy, and then gather it into a fixed area.

The Taoist spirit-gathering array, on the other hand, is more like a way to concentrate the surrounding spiritual energy within a fixed area.

Mount Qingcheng is a famous Taoist mountain in the world. The spiritual energy in the mountain is naturally much richer than that in other mountains, and when it is gathered together, it is quite considerable.

Why is the spiritual energy more concentrated in the deep mountains?

It's simply because the natural environment hasn't been damaged, and the earth's energy is constantly being transformed into spiritual energy.

That's a natural formation!

The next day, Xu Yue continued to work.

Since fruit trees and tea trees had already been planted on the nodes yesterday, setting up the formation was a piece of cake for Xu Yue and his team.

It was basically done in one morning.

If it weren't for the time wasted going up and down the mountain, we probably would have finished by now.

Lunch was again a vegetarian meal at the Taoist temple on the mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, a fellow Daoist would like to ask if you have any other interests?"

During the meal, Liu Xuanbin asked Xu Yue about him.

Fellow traveler?

That must be other sects of Taoism.

"What is it?" Xu Yue asked. "Are other major Taoist sects also interested?"

It's not just the major Taoist sects that have this idea; other major sects have it too.

Who wouldn't want to own a sacred place?
Xu Yue's deployment of the formation at Qingcheng Mountain was something that couldn't be kept secret from them.

“That depends on what you’re interested in,” Liu Xuanbin said. “Whatever interests you, they can collect it and then ask you to help them.”

Formation?

Qingcheng Mountain exchanged Taoist formations with Xu Yue, but other major sects naturally wouldn't exchange their Taoist formations for those formations.

The heritage of Qingcheng Mountain is relatively well-preserved.

Other major Taoist sects may have things that Qingcheng Mountain doesn't have, but there are definitely not many.

Moreover, they also knew that Xu Yue's deployment of formations for Qingcheng Mountain was probably not so much because of the formations themselves, but because Qingcheng Mountain had been on good terms with Xu Yue from the very beginning.

Back then, Xu Yue didn't have the power he has now.

"Things you're interested in? Yes!" Xu Yue said with a smile, "Lost works of the Farmer School, and ancient magical artifacts passed down from the Farmer School."
