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

Chapter 396 I just want to keep up and not get too far behind.

The grand formation at Gongjia'ao, based on the Dragon-Tiger Vitality Cauldron, has been successfully replicated.

But I really don't fully understand it yet.

At least Xu Yue didn't understand.

That formation incorporated elements from Taoism, agriculture, feng shui, and the Yin-Yang school.

It's not impossible that medical techniques were involved.

And what about Xu Yue?

That's all I know about the Farmhouse Life-Generating Formation.

As for other formations, I don't know much about them.

That formation was replicated using the combined power of various parties.

Not only are there Feng Shui masters from the four realms, but also experts from the four realms of Taoism and Buddhism.

The key point is that it also has a bit of a copycat-like quality.

However, Xu Yue wasn't sure if Ning Yun would be drawn over.

Perhaps because he wasn't sure, he didn't bring it up.

He's not suited to speak either.

If he were to speak, it would sound like he's trying to take advantage of someone's kindness.

Besides, if you put yourself in Ning Yun's shoes, you might not be willing to live under someone else's roof either.

When he first received the inheritance, he would have scoffed at anyone who tried to recruit him.

Besides, Ning Yun, like him, is actually doing quite well outside.

Who would willingly resign to return to their hometown to cultivate themselves, only to turn around and become a beast of burden again?

Xu Yue's attitude towards Ning Yun was more inclined to befriend her and to provide assistance to the best of his ability.

However, Ning Yun might still join.

Because Xu Yue has so much that he needs.

Joining is fine, but not joining is also okay.

But a few days later, Xu Chengyang called and asked Xu Yue to come to the laboratory.

Ning Yun was tricked by them.

But once I got there, I immediately recognized the large array in the laboratory.

"You understand this formation?"

Xu Yue looked at Ning Yun with some surprise.

He recalled Zhang Ruoxi's words from a few days ago and couldn't help but sigh, "Women's intuition is truly terrifying."

"The Reverse Life Formation!" Ning Yun said. "This is a formation designed to reverse life and death, to bring the dead back to life. I didn't expect you to actually set it up successfully, build it into a laboratory, and conduct research on it?"

Seeing this had a significant impact on Ning Yun.

Such a large formation can even be studied using technological means.

He felt that his thinking was being challenged time and time again.

Is this the correct way to cultivate oneself nowadays?

"To be precise, it's a copy," Xu Yue said. "Several experts from the fourth realm participated, from Taoism, Buddhism, and the Feng Shui lineage who understand astrology and feng shui. Although the copy was successful, their understanding of this formation is limited. This formation seems to have the shadows of Taoist, Yin-Yang, and Agricultural formations."

“There are also some medical techniques,” Ning Yun said. “The key to this formation, and also where the difficulty lies, undoubtedly requires a foundation that can support the formation.”

“Let’s go, I’ll take you inside to take a look,” Xu Yue said. “The magical artifact that serves as the base of the array is somewhat similar to the Dragon-Tiger Vitality Cauldron of the Farmer’s Clan, yet it is also different. The Old Celestial Master of Dragon-Tiger Mountain and the others have tried to replicate it, but they have not yet succeeded in refining it. I have also tried, but ultimately failed.”

The Old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain?
He is skilled in weapon crafting.

Wait a minute, Xu Yue seems to be able to refine weapons too?
Ning Yun smiled wryly to himself, realizing that he really was somewhat like a frog in a well.

His lineage contained absolutely no method of weapon crafting.

Compared to those long-established sects, I am just a small Karami.

Is this the difference between rogue cultivators and disciples of prestigious sects in novels?
If Xu Yue hadn't brought Ning Yun along, he wouldn't have been able to get in at all.

so big!

When Ning Yun saw the array base cauldron in front of him, he couldn't help but marvel. The Simuwu Cauldron was probably just a little brother in front of him.

“This cauldron should have incorporated the Yin-Yang runes of the Yin-Yang School,” Ning Yun said. “The runes should not be on the cauldron itself, but rather melted into its interior. This may be one reason why you failed to refine it.”

"Life and death reversed, yin and yang transformed."

Xu Yue nodded thoughtfully.

"Academician Ma!"

Xu Yue suddenly looked at Ma Bohan walking towards him and then called out to him.

“You’ve come at the right time,” Ma Bohan said. “Come on, let me show you my recent haul.”

"go together!"

Xu Yue pulled Ning Yun along, and Ma Bohan was slightly surprised but didn't say anything.

"Is it convenient?"

Ning Yun was somewhat surprised, as he hadn't even signed any confidentiality agreements yet, so these things were accessible to him.

“If there’s anything inconvenient, we can just sign a confidentiality agreement later,” Xu Yue said. “Besides, you are the one who knows this formation best. And all our experiments are based on this formation.”

Dr. Ma's research yielded significant results, but Xu Yue listened in vain.

"Can you understand?"

After saying goodbye to Dr. Ma, Ning Yun couldn't help but ask a question.

He studied design in college, so he was completely unfamiliar with life sciences.

Moreover, Dr. Ma's words contained a large number of technical terms.

"Can't understand."

Xu Yue answered very decisively.

"That"

Ning Yun was speechless, wondering why you were nodding and agreeing even though you didn't understand.

"When people share their gains, we have to cooperate," Xu Yue said. "Otherwise, where does their joy of sharing come from?"

Ning Yun nodded silently.

Sharing happiness is pointless if the other person doesn't understand it at all; it's like talking to a brick wall, and there's no happiness in that.
"However, I did understand some of it," Xu Yue said. "It can create some potions that increase vitality, which is very useful for some surgeries. If used properly, it should be able to save countless lives."

Ning Yun nodded. If such a medicine could really be made, it would be a lifeline for those patients whose lives were hanging by a thread and who needed to be saved as quickly as possible.

Is this the result of combining metaphysics and science?

Ning Yun felt that his worldview had been reshaped once again.

The last time it was reshaped was after it received the inheritance and achieved success in cultivation.

He felt at the time that science could not encompass everything, and metaphysics was not some kind of feudal superstition.

The two simply have no overlap.

What about now?
It turns out that science and metaphysics can be interconnected.

Metaphysical methods can be used in scientific research.

Science is also extremely useful for understanding metaphysics.

Xu Yue gained a lot from discussing the Reverse Life Formation with Ning Yun.

Then he went back.

Ning Yun, however, went to study elixirs.

The first thing he studied was a elixir that could cure his mother's illness.

This is also why Xu Zixu couldn't convince him.

They provided Ningyun with the medicinal materials he needed for his research.

There are no other restrictions.

Of course, if the research and development is successful, Taoyuan Pharmaceutical will be put on the market.

Ningyun will naturally receive profit dividends.

Take what you need.

Ning Yun agreed, but it was clearly the former that prevailed.

Curing his mother is what he wants most and is most eager to do right now.

A few days later, Xu Yue was holding his child when he sensed Ning Yun's arrival.

"Ning Yun is here!"

Xu Yue handed the child to Zhang Ruoxi and then went downstairs. "Your family really keeps a giant panda as a pet?"

Ning Yun was invited in by Xu Yue, and then the three giant pandas lay there.

"You're here to stay, so why would you starve?" Xu Yue said. "You're lucky, otherwise you'd have run off to camp again."

Ning Yun was puzzled, wondering why Xu Yue had that expression.

However, following Xu Yue's gaze, they quickly realized what was going on.

A large yellow dog appeared at the door, and the three giant pandas immediately got up and went to it.

There are even faster ones than the three giant pandas.

Two large dogs, one black and one spotted, rushed over instantly, wagging their tails and fawning over the big yellow dog.

The word "lackey" immediately came to mind.

Dahuang is a popular internet celebrity.

Its popularity is unimaginable.

Ning Yun already knew something about it before he even returned.

After returning, I naturally heard even more.

And the two side dogs, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua, are also quite popular.

Ning Yun was also aware of this.

"This is."

Ning Yun couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

“Let’s go to that camp over there,” Xu Yue said. “Maybe they’ll become Kung Fu Dogs and Kung Fu Pandas.”

Ning Yun was taken aback, but then couldn't help but laugh.

Just looking at Big Yellow stirred up a storm in his heart.

He actually sensed danger from this big yellow dog.

He, a highly skilled martial artist, was actually wary of a mere stray dog.

However, considering how intelligent this big yellow dog is, and what it eats and drinks, I can understand it somewhat.

Perhaps it already possesses the potential to become a demon beast?

"sit down!"

Xu Yue led Ning Yun into the pavilion, brewed tea for him, and did not ask Ning Yun why he had come.

He must have come here for something, but Xu Yue had no interest in guessing what it was.

“Good tea!”

Ning Yun couldn't help but praise the doctor.

He looked around, but became even more shocked.

This place is not only spring-like all year round and rich in spiritual energy, but it is also refreshing and calming. There are many other extraordinary aspects here, but they cannot be understood at a glance.

Amazing.

His home was also decorated by him, and thanks to the changes in Ningjiawan Village, the effect was better than expected.

But compared to Xu Yue's place, the gap is too big.

This place is like a paradise on earth.

"If you like it, take some back with you," Xu Yue said. "This tea was cultivated from a century-old wild tea that I dug up from the mountains. It's naturally better than the tea sold on farms."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Ning Yun said with a smile. "I heard that the consultant position at your farm has excellent benefits. What do you think of me?"

"Ok?"

Xu Yue looked at Ning Yun with some surprise, clearly not expecting him to say something like that.

Is this a sign that they want to rely on me?
"If you're willing to come, then you're naturally welcome," Xu Yue said. "However, you shouldn't be at that point yet, right?"

Ning Yun looked at Xu Yue with a puzzled expression.

To what extent?
"Guo Tianyou's family came to Taoyuan Village because they were targeted by a powerful group of tomb raiders. He had no choice but to rely on me and use my power to wipe out the tomb raiders," Xu Yue said. "Liu Chengji got involved in something, scared himself, and then came to Taoyuan. As for the other cultivators, they were basically driven to desperation."

The Zhao siblings also seemed to have reached a dead end.

If there were no reason, who would live under someone else's roof?

“I’m certainly not desperate, but I need to take a longer-term view. The future of the cultivation world might just be in Peach Blossom Village,” Ning Yun said. “Besides, the four essential elements of cultivation are wealth, companions, methods, and location. Instead of spending time and energy accumulating them little by little, why not be more direct and get it all in one go?”

Entering Peach Blossom Village, one might feel somewhat like a guest in someone else's home, lacking true freedom.

But you can get what you want.

Moreover, you can easily obtain things that are difficult for you to obtain even with great effort.

Moreover, Xu Yue didn't impose any restrictions on his subordinates.

That's somewhat similar to the guest advisors or similar figures in novels.

To stand at the forefront of the cultivation world is not only extremely difficult to achieve on one's own, but also an uncertain timeframe.

From what he had seen and heard over the past few days, it was clear that Xu Yue was ahead of everyone else and was galloping like a wild horse.

Let alone a rogue cultivator like him keeping up, even the major sects would probably struggle to keep up with Xu Yue and would be left far behind.

So what can he do?
Of course, I'd hop on Xu Yue's fast train.

Is there a better way?

"You've already surpassed all other cultivators," Ning Yun said with a sigh. "I'm just a rogue cultivator who had some fortuitous encounters and obtained some inheritances. If I don't want to fall too far behind, do I have any other choice?"

Ning Yun's words were undoubtedly quite frank.

I did this purely for my own benefit.

This is undoubtedly more credible.

To say that someone is impressed by your domineering presence or your magnanimity is somewhat insincere.

Of course, Ning Yun still admired Xu Yue.

"Then I'll bring you the farm to welcome you," Xu Yue said with a smile. "You can continue your research in the lab over there for now, and of course, the promises they made to you will remain unchanged."

Ning Yun smiled upon hearing this, clearly not surprised by his expectations.

"this is for you!"

Ning Yun took out a folder and handed it to Xu Yue.

"Ok?"

Xu Yue looked at Xu Yue with a puzzled expression, clearly asking what was inside.

“My lineage originates from a piece of Yin-Yang jade,” Ning Yun said. “The cultivation method should be from the Yin-Yang school, and in addition, there are some Taoist and medical methods, including some supernatural powers and formations.”

"This is inappropriate."

Xu Yue shook his head and pushed it back.

“There’s nothing wrong with it,” Ning Yun said. “It’s not some secret that your sect doesn’t keep to itself. You’re able to open an academy and spread your tradition widely, and I’m not one to hoard my own knowledge. You have your own tradition, but you probably don’t know how to cultivate it. But after taking a look, you might get some inspiration.”

“Alright!” Xu Yue nodded, then stood up and said, “Come with me.”

Ning Yun was puzzled, but she followed Xu Yue to the laboratory.

“These are the cultivation methods of the Farmer School, as well as supernatural formations. You can take a look at them,” Xu Yue said. “If you want to pass them on, that’s fine too. Your father’s cultivation of the Farmer School’s methods is probably more advanced than his cultivation of the Yin-Yang School’s methods.”

"Thank you!"

Ning Yun did not refuse.

This was one of the purposes he intended to bring out his legacy.

Learning by analogy is always beneficial; there's no harm in learning more.

Moreover, the methods of the peasant school, when used with the true energy of the Yin-Yang school, may not necessarily be ineffective.

Of course, there should still be differences.

This may only be known after understanding it.

Even if they can't put their skills to use, the gains will still be substantial.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Ning Yun looked at Xu Yue with some surprise.

Suddenly, Xu Yue threw several jade talismans on the ground, and then a blazing flame rose from them.

Xu Yue then took a piece of gold from somewhere and threw it into the flames, and then took out some unknown metal from somewhere and incorporated it into the flames.

A ring appeared in the flames, followed by countless tiny runes.
Refining equipment!

Ning Yun was extremely surprised.
