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

Chapter 398 What Changes Might Be Happening in the World?

The peach blossoms in Taoyuan Village are in bloom.

The number of tourists is also increasing.

Wang Yun's friends from the entertainment industry also came to take wedding photos.

Many celebrities are not as good-looking in real life as they appear on TV or in magazines.

Some are even comparable to face transplant surgery.

To be fair, Lin Ling's actual appearance is quite good, at least 80% attractive.

However, she paled in comparison to Wang Yun and Zhang Ruoxi.

Lin Ling's husband, He Mingwen, is a bit older than her, but not by a wide margin; at least he's not an old man.

He Mingwen is a successful businessman with considerable wealth, but Lin Ling's family is also rich, so it's not a case of him trying to climb the social ladder by marrying into a wealthy family.

"Thank you! These three pandas are so smart!"

Lin Ling smiled and thanked Xu Yue.

Xu Yue instructed them, and the three pandas were not only docile, but they were also very cooperative.

"Little things."

Xu Yue waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.

"Mr. Xu, could you take a couple of pictures with Da Huang and the others?"

He Mingwen pointed to the three big yellow dogs not far away and said.

Da Huang and the other two pandas were waiting for Da Bao and the other two pandas.

These days, the three dogs and three pandas are practically inseparable, if not always.

"Dahuang, come here!"

Xu Yue naturally would not refuse.

As for why He Mingwen wanted to take pictures with Da Huang and the others, Xu Yue didn't bother to answer.

Perhaps Dahuang is also an internet celebrity dog.

Moreover, it's more famous than the three giant pandas, including Da Bao.

Of course, even though Da Huang and the others are mixed-breed dogs, they are still very good-looking.

It is much larger than the average mongrel dog.

Their fur is also shiny. Whether it's Big Yellow, Little Flower, or Little Black, we bathe them frequently.

"Cooperate by taking a few photos, or I'll have my third uncle lock you up in a dark room." Xu Yue said, then looked at Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua, adding, "The same goes for you two."

Big Yellow seemed to understand, barked once, glanced at He Mingwen, and nodded while biting its tail.

This left He Mingwen utterly shocked.

Do you understand?
Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua aren't as clever, but they're still very spirited.

Lin Ling stood to the side with a broad smile.

She knew her husband liked dogs.

We also keep quite a few at home.

However, it is far inferior to rhubarb.

Her husband has collected all of Da Huang's videos; it's no exaggeration to say he's a fan of Da Huang.

When taking photos, Da Huang cooperated well and the photos were taken quickly.

The photographers were amazed at how easy it was.

He has photographed animals before, but getting them to cooperate is extremely difficult, so he often has to take candid shots.

That naturally increases the difficulty.

"Sister Yurou, can we take some pictures at the bird grove in the scenic area?"

Lin Ling looked at Wang Yun and asked.

Taking photos is allowed at the Bird Forest, but there are too many tourists. If you want to take wedding photos, the park staff will need to step in and ask the tourists to cooperate.

Wang Yun did not answer, but looked at Xu Yue instead.

"How about this, you can prepare more red envelopes, they don't need to be very big. I'll have the scenic area staff negotiate with those tourists, and I don't think they'll have any objections."

Xu Yue thought about it and then said.

Those red envelopes are naturally prepared for tourists, but of course, the景区 staff who come out to help should also receive one.

The red envelope doesn't need to be big; just a small token is enough. The main thing is to bring good luck.

Most people would help someone get married.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Xu."

He Mingwen thanked him, saying that the red envelope was a small matter.

Xu Yue is a major shareholder of that scenic area. Even if he weren't a shareholder, he would still have a lot of influence in this place.

The scenic area will naturally cooperate with his request.

"Let's eat before we start filming," Wang Yun said. "It's already lunchtime."

"Then we won't stand on ceremony," Lin Ling said with a smile. "I'm really looking forward to seeing the unique features of Peach Blossom Village."

"Let's stay a few more days after taking our wedding photos," Wang Yun said. "Feifei will also be coming to see the peach blossoms in a couple of days."

“I asked her to come along, but her schedule didn’t allow it,” Lin Ling said with a smile. “Otherwise, it might have given that old maid a little push.”

"What do you mean, 'old maid'?" Wang Yun laughed. "She's not even thirty yet."

"So what if I'm not thirty?" Lin Ling said. "If I'm not married, can't I date? As long as I don't admit it, it'll just be a rumor if they find out."

Celebrities in the entertainment industry often keep their relationships private.

When caught by paparazzi, they vehemently denied it, and after a series of public relations efforts, it turned out to be nothing more than a scandal.

There aren't that many celebrities who make a comeback; they just don't make it public or admit it.

“Now that she’s here, you can try to persuade her,” Wang Yun said with a smile. “Or you can introduce her to someone.”

We had lunch at Xu Jianghe's house.

Xu Yue's family also ate there, making two tables.

After the meal, Lin Ling and her group did not go to the scenic area, but instead took photos in the peach grove on the back mountain.

As for going to the scenic area, there's no rush.

There are still many scenic spots worth photographing within the area.

Qinglongtan, Yunwu Mountain, and Cyathea Valley
Of course, the most important place is the Hundred Birds Forest.

How could wedding photos of their caliber be taken in just one or two days?
However, this has little to do with Xu Yue.

He was preparing to take Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji to various deserts to set up battle formations.

The desert laboratory is being built faster than expected.

No matter what kind of project it is, as long as the money is in place, the process will be fast. If the higher-ups pay attention to it, it will be even faster.

The desert laboratory is a prime example.

How long will this trip take?

Zhang Ruoxi asked casually, not because she was reluctant to let Xu Yue go.

The two, an old married couple, have passed the point of being overly affectionate. They no longer need to be inseparable; instead, they need their own space.

This is also a way of getting along.

Besides, Xu Yue is a family man.

"It'll take at least a month or two," Xu Yue said. "Maybe longer. With more than a dozen labs, even if we work non-stop, it'll take at least several days on average."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

Those dozen or so laboratories aren't connected, so it would take a lot of time to get there.

"Be careful!" Zhang Ruoxi said, "Even though we're in the country."

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded without refuting.

He has long been targeted by numerous foreign forces, and perhaps also by many national departments.

Even though we are in the country, we cannot eliminate all dangers.

However, Xu Yue's ability to protect himself is now much stronger than before.

Xu Yue hadn't left yet when Jing Guohua arrived.

Although Li Liang is now the director of the Shuzhou Special Administration Bureau, Xu Yue is still in contact with Jing Guohua, the director of the three southwestern prefectures.

"I heard you've recruited another expert?"

Jing Guohua said with a smile.

Xu Yue knew perfectly well who he was referring to.

"What kind of expert is a mere second-realm cultivator?" Xu Yue said. "Your Special Administration Bureau shouldn't be short of second-realm cultivators these days, right?"

With increasing resources, both the Special Administration Bureau and the military are naturally producing more and more experts. Not to mention other places, Peach Blossom Village alone has cultivated countless Second Realm cultivators.

Compared to the third realm, the second realm is obviously much easier.

“How could we not be short of them?” Jing Guohua said. “The more experts like them, the better. These days, the Special Administration Bureau is under increasing external pressure.”

"Don't try to shift the blame onto me again."

Xu Yue said with a sneer.

“You dare say this has nothing to do with you?” Jing Guohua said. “At least most of those people came for you or Taoyuan Village.”

Xu Yue remained silent, knowing full well that the Special Administration Bureau must have caused him a lot of trouble.

But he wasn't getting it for free!

“Isn’t protecting taxpayers your duty?” Xu Yue said. “Besides, I do more than just pay taxes.”

Jing Guohua was speechless.

Xu Yue is definitely a major taxpayer, and more importantly, he has solved the employment problems of countless people.

The key point is that his Special Administration Bureau and the military have profited immensely from Xu Yue.

Cannibals have short mouths and short hands.

They took food and drinks and helped Xu Yue solve his problems, which was only right and proper, especially since it was within their job responsibilities.

"This is for this period of time," Xu Yue said, handing the jade talisman to Jing Guohua. "Next time, wait a little longer. I need to go set up the arrays in those laboratories in a few days, which will take up a lot of time."

Jing Guohua nodded and then put it away.

This time, he naturally knew that Xu Yue was going out.

"Is Ning Yun, who is also a Qi cultivator, capable of making this jade talisman?"

Jing Guohua asked, "Currently, only Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi are capable of making jade talismans."

Xu's parents-in-law were also Qi Refiners at the Second Realm, but they hadn't practiced much in supernatural formations or made protective jade talismans.

"I've taught him the method of making it, but whether he can actually make it is hard to say," Xu Yue said. "Can't you martial arts cultivators and spiritual cultivators really make it?"

Xu Yue naturally also gave the production method to the Special Administration Bureau.

However, Xu Yue was unsure whether the other party had copied it.

Judging from how much Jing Guohua valued his protective jade talisman, it seems he truly failed.

“Internal energy and magical power are insufficient to activate the array patterns,” Jing Guohua said. “Director Yan tried it, and although he activated the jade talisman, the effect was too poor. This must be due to the nature of the power.”

“If Ning Yun learns it, he’ll make more,” Xu Yue said. “I’ve already spoken to him about this.”

“The world may be undergoing some changes, and many traditions are reappearing.” Jing Guohua said after a moment of silence, “The Farmer School appeared because of you, and now the Yin-Yang School has also emerged. Someone in Qianzhou who knows Gu magic has appeared, but fortunately it was discovered in time and no trouble was caused.”

"Gu magic?"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised and glanced at Jing Guohua.

"Should other lineages have been discovered in the world?"

Xu Yue then asked another question.

If it were only the agriculturalists, the Yin-Yang school, and the Gu technique, Jing Guohua wouldn't have concluded that something seemed to be happening in the world.
Is a great era for cultivation about to arrive?
“Indeed,” Jing Guohua said. “And they are all things that have been lost to time. However, they are not as ancient as those of the Agricultural School or the Yin-Yang School, nor are they as mysterious.”

"Aren't you being a bit too sensitive?" Xu Yue said. "If something lost has resurfaced, it should have always existed, right?"

"Perhaps!" Jing Guohua said. "However, even if something is wrong, it's still under control. Right now, the Special Administration Bureau's pressure comes mostly from the outside."

Domestic spiritual practitioners dare not provoke them.

Either they have a partnership with the Special Administration Bureau, or they are just small-time Karamis who can't make much of a splash.

As usual, Jing Guohua left in a hurry.

No sooner had I left than Xu Jianghe called.

"Third realm? And two people?"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised to hear Li Zhuting's phone call.

He knew that Zhao Zixu and his sister were quite talented, but he never expected them to reach the third realm so quickly.

However, this can be considered a good thing.

Xu Yue naturally understood what Li Zhuting meant by calling.

"Let them come to this lab; I'll wait for them there."

Xu Yue spoke to Li Zhuting.

At the laboratory on the back mountain, Xu Yue didn't have to wait long before Zhao Zixu and the other person arrived.

"Imprint your spiritual power!"

"Inject a trace of internal energy!"

The people were summoned over, naturally to refine spatial rings and millstone artifacts for them.

Since you've reached the third realm, you should receive the treatment due to a third realm cultivator.

These two are essentially "knives," so naturally they would need a millstone-like magical artifact.

Increasing combat strength is essential.

They are different from Ning Yun.

They carried a deep-seated hatred on their shoulders.

Ning Yun didn't have that, so their pursuits were different.

"You're having second thoughts?"

Xu Yue looked at Zhao Zixu and his sister.

They have recovered from their shock.

They weren't that shocked by the stone mill, that devastating weapon.

After all, they had come into contact with magical artifacts before, but none were as powerful as this millstone.

What truly shocked them was the spatial ring.

Such a thing actually exists in the cultivation world?

And it seems that their own boss can also refine it?

Isn't this a case of having as many as you want?
This isn't just some magical artifact; it's practically a divine weapon.

This ring can hold not only magical artifacts, but also other things!
arms!

The two words instantly popped into the minds of the brother and sister.

This is a spatial ring; it's practically a mobile arsenal!

With this thing, they can plant bombs in their enemy's lair without anyone noticing.

Paladin?
If the Four Realms don't leave, how can the Three Realms not be easily controlled?
"Ok!"

Zhao Zixu readily admitted that he was indeed tempted.

He was eager to take revenge.

“There are four-realm experts among the paladins, but they won’t be easily defeated,” Zhao Ziyi said. “We are now in the third realm, with talismans, millstones, and this spatial ring, we are more than capable of protecting ourselves.”

“The Special Administration Bureau just took the amulets today, and this is all I have left. Take them,” Xu Yue said. “I’ll have someone transfer some more money to you later. How much trouble you can cause depends on your abilities. Individual strength is ultimately limited, understand?”

"Understand."

Zhao Zixu nodded.

That money wasn't for them to take revenge, but for them to build up their influence abroad.

They're not stupid either.

The foreign cultivation forces, such as the Holy Knights, are powerful. It would be difficult for just the two of them to seriously injure their experts.

Besides, how long would it take if they did it themselves?
"Don't give up on cultivation either," Xu Yue said. "You are still far from being able to improve, and the cultivation resources won't be reduced just because you've gone abroad."

Xu Yue was not afraid of their betrayal.

They are all smart people.

If you want to go further, then you have to stay on the fast train of Taoyuan Farm.

They didn't dare.

Xu Yue's demonstration of weapon forging in front of them certainly had a deterrent effect.

If you can give them to them, you can naturally take everything back from them.

Moreover, Xu Yue did not believe that the two siblings were ungrateful people.

Xu Yue was quite confident in his judgment.

After Zhao Zixu and his sister left, Xu Jianghe arrived.

"You really think highly of them."

Xu Jianghe spoke.

Xu Yue gave Zhao Zixu and his sister money and goods whenever they asked, sparing no effort for the country.
