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

Chapter 406 Earth Spirit Orb?
How many bottles of mineral water are in several truckloads?
There must be tens of thousands of bottles.

Those vehicles are mostly over thirty tons.

Several truckloads, those two or three hundred thousand bottles are definitely there.

In terms of selling price, it's worth several million.

For Xu Yue, that was naturally nothing.

Of course, the farm must have other relief supplies or donations.

Xu Yue asked Tian Yizhi to prepare, but he didn't actually look into it.

Given Tian Yizhi's abilities, he must have considered things more comprehensively than Xu Yue.

After the two policemen learned that it was Xu Yue, they didn't ask any further questions.

Anyone might take advantage of a crisis to steal money or valuables, but Xu Yue would never do that.

He must have come here to inspect the disaster situation.

After Xu Yue refused to provide security assistance, the two policemen left to patrol other areas.

The rescue was very thorough and timely.

The epicenter was located in the suburbs, close to the county seat, surrounded by mostly low-rise residential buildings, resulting in relatively severe damage.

Some collapsed, some cracked, and some remained intact.

The residents have been moved to a resettlement site, and there are hardly any people around.

Most of them were just passing by and did not stop.

After the two policemen left, Xu Yue immediately used his supernatural powers to clear the disordered energy of the earth's veins.

"what happened?"

Not long after, Ning Yun saw Xu Yue frowning and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Could it be that Xu Yue's abilities are insufficient to unravel the energy of the earth's veins?

Can human effort not compete with natural light?

But if it happened before the earthquake, then it would make sense.

The earthquakes have already passed; only aftershocks remain.

Moreover, he could sense that the chaotic earth vein energy was much better than before.

Other scents gradually cleared up as well.

“I feel like there’s something down there, which is why it’s hard to calm down completely,” Xu Yue said. “Do you think we should dig it up and take a look?”

"Something's there?" Ning Yun said. "Could it be the culprit behind this earthquake?"

"It's hard to say," Xu Yue said. "There should be some connection, mainly because the location is at the epicenter."

How do we dig?

Ning Yun asked.

If there really is something down there, we have to dig it out and take a look.

Whether it was caused indirectly or directly, that thing was definitely extraordinary.

"Looking for someone!"

As Xu Yue spoke, he took out his phone and made a call to Li Liang.

They said they'd be there soon.

"Do you still remember Li Liang?"

Xu Yue put down the phone and said to Ning Yun.

"Kind of."

Ning Yun nodded. He and Ning Yun went to the same school and were even in the same class. They weren't exactly close, but they definitely knew each other.

Xu Yue was once a prominent figure at school, and those who were close to him naturally received a lot of attention.

"He's now the head of the Shuzhou Special Administration Bureau!"

Xu Yue said with a smile.

"Ok?"

Ning Yun looked at Xu Yue with some surprise, then uttered two words.

"That's awesome!"

Not only was it impressive, but Ning Yun never expected that someone he knew was in the Special Administration Bureau, and even a high-ranking one.

"I remember Li Liang seemed to have learned martial arts from your third uncle?"

Ning Yun has a very good memory.

Of course, the key point is that Xu Jianghe's incident caused quite a stir in Gong'an City back then.

Many people who know Xu Yue are aware of this.

“Hmm!” Xu Yue nodded and said, “Not long after I came back, I encountered him capturing a master. At that time, the master was not even at the second realm and almost got killed. Later, I cooperated with the Special Administration Bureau, and he was in charge. He received training from my third uncle in Taoyuan Village and made rapid progress. Last year, he entered the third realm and was promoted. Before that, Jing Guohua was concurrently in charge of the Shuzhou Special Administration Bureau.”

Jing Guohua was the head of the Special Administration Bureau of the Three Southwestern Prefectures.

He spends most of his time in Qianzhou these days.

Ning Yun had quite a bit of contact with Jing Guohua, so they naturally knew each other.

"Your third uncle should be close to the fourth realm by now, right?"

Ning Yun asked.

Xu Jianghe is actually a martial arts instructor at the Special Administration Bureau?
However, Ning Yun was not surprised by this.

Xu Jianghe was so formidable more than a decade ago, let alone now.

He had seen Xu Jianghe before; his qi and blood were so well contained that he could hardly detect them.

Moreover, when facing Xu Jianghe, he felt a sense of oppression, a feeling that life and death were not in his own hands.

“If he were to force a breakthrough, he could do it anytime, and the chances of success would be quite high,” Xu Yue said. “However, he wants to take it one step at a time and solidify his foundation first.”

Ning Yun nodded.

With so many experts in Peach Blossom Village, plus Xu Yue, a fourth-level expert, Xu Jianghe naturally didn't need to rush.

The cultivation world no longer has the Five Realms, so what will happen in the future?

The more solid the foundation, the higher the chance of reaching the fifth realm.

Ning Yun has been making rapid progress recently thanks to Xu Yue's support, but he also focuses on building a solid foundation and doesn't rush things.

"Let's go, let's check out other places first," Xu Yue continued. "Li Liang and the others will probably be here in a while."

Taoyuan mineral water has arrived.

The 30-ton cargo was loaded onto six trucks and is now being temporarily unloaded.

Tian Yizhi also came along.

"Six truckloads, about 360,000 bottles," Tian Yizhi said. "In addition, the agricultural trade company has also purchased several truckloads of tents and medical supplies, which will arrive soon."

"Hmm!" Xu Yue nodded and asked, "How is the situation?"

Tian Yizhi shook his head; he had no idea about the extent of the disaster.

Xu Yue didn't ask any further questions, and left after looking around for a while.

As soon as he left, the local leaders arrived.

Taoyuan Farm was the first company to arrive. Although they only delivered a few truckloads of bottled water, it was something that was urgently needed.

Water and food, medical supplies, tents and temporary shelter, etc.

Moreover, Taoyuan mineral water is not just expensive.

One bottle costs twenty, and six truckloads of over 300,000 bottles would amount to over seven million.

Of course, that's the market price.

When they heard that Taoyuan Agricultural Trade Market had purchased a batch of tents, hygiene products, and medical supplies, the help was even greater.

However, the leaders came not only because Tian Yizhi had brought relief supplies.

Obviously, there are other ideas as well.

For now, we can only get acquainted with each other and lay the foundation for future cooperation.

The most urgent task now is disaster relief.

Li Liang arrived faster than Xu Yue had anticipated.

After he arrived, he contacted the local authorities, which naturally made things much faster.

Soon, the excavators started working.

What do you think it could be?

Li Liang looked at Xu Yue and Ning Yun.

He and Ning Yun knew each other before, but they hadn't seen each other for many years.

Both of them shook their heads.

Ning Yun was completely unaware of the abnormality below.

As for Xu Yue, he only felt something was off.

"You felt the earthquake here while you were in Taoyuan Village?"

Li Liang casually changed the subject; he didn't believe Xu Yue had just happened to see it on his phone and then immediately came over.

"I have a feeling about it," Xu Yue said. "However, I only found out it was here online."

There is a difference between finding something and seeing it.

"So scary!"

Li Liang made a casual remark. It wasn't an exaggeration; he genuinely found it terrifying.

Xu Yue was extremely perceptive of the changes in the earth's energy.

"It's not that exaggerated," Xu Yue said. "You can usually feel an earthquake more than 300 kilometers away."

How much longer do we need to dig?

Li Liang smiled and changed the subject.

The excavator has now dug about ten meters.

"almost!"

Xu Yue glanced at it and spoke.

He sensed that thing was not far away.

Not long after, Xu Yue stopped the excavator and then went down into the pit with Li Liang and Ning Yun.

Xu Yue picked up a shovel and started digging.

Before long, a ball of dirt the size of a palm appeared before everyone's eyes.

The soil ball was a yellowish-brown color, slightly brighter than the yellow earth.

The surface is as smooth as a mirror, with fine texture to the touch, and is exceptionally hard.

"what is this?"

Li Liang couldn't help but ask.

He could tell that it was a sphere of condensed soil, but not an ordinary sphere of soil.

Both its hardness and the aura it exudes indicate that this thing is extraordinary.

"Earth Spirit Pearl!"

Xu Yue spoke, but his tone was not entirely certain.

"The legendary one? One of the Five Elemental Pearls? The one belonging to the Goddess Nuwa?"

Li Liang said in surprise, then saw Xu Yue looking at him like he was an idiot, and immediately gave an awkward smile.

"Just kidding," Li Liang said. "A naturally formed magical artifact?"

Xu Yue nodded.

Some magical artifacts are artificially crafted, while others are formed naturally.

Of course, there is another type that is nurtured by humans with the help of nature.

"This thing is useful to me, so I'll keep it."

Without waiting for Li Liang's reply, Xu Yue directly put the Earth Spirit Orb into his storage ring.

Li Liang nodded, but didn't seem to care.

They had no use for the bead, nor did they know what use it was.

Let's not even mention that Xu Yue discovered this thing.

Even if they discover it, Xu Yue would probably still give it to them if he wanted it.

There's no other reason; I'm indebted to those who give me money.

Haven't they gotten enough good stuff from Xu Yue?
"Could the earthquake have been caused by this thing?"

Li Liang asked the question.

This thing is right at the epicenter, so he can't help but think that way.

"I don't know," Xu Yue shook his head and said, "Perhaps it was formed by an earthquake. This Earth Spirit Pearl contains rich earth spiritual energy. After being refined, it might become a powerful magic weapon, but it wouldn't cause such a large earthquake."

"Not bad power?" Li Liang asked. "How does it compare to your family's stone mill?"

“Its destructive power is definitely not as good as a stone mill,” Xu Yue said. “It’s probably not much stronger than the millstone on your body either. However, if you think about it, this thing should have defensive capabilities.”

Defense?
Li Liang seemed to be deep in thought. Was Xu Yue planning to refine this Earth Spirit Pearl into a magical artifact that combined offense and defense?

Ning Yun glanced at Xu Yue, but didn't seem to covet the Earth Spirit Orb.

However, I'm still quite envious.

He could naturally see the extraordinary nature of that Earth Spirit Pearl.

I really want one too.

He didn't know how Xu Yue refined it, but if he were given it, he would have countless ways to use the Earth Spirit Pearl.

That Earth Spirit Orb is definitely a rare treasure.

"You said there's an Earth Spirit Orb, are there any other spirit orbs, such as a Metal Spirit Orb, a Fire Spirit Orb, a Wood Spirit Orb, or a Water Spirit Orb?" Li Liang asked. "If so, we can collect all five elemental spirit orbs."

"You can summon a dragon, can you?" Xu Yue said with a smile. "However, I suppose you can. Nature is amazing. According to the records of farmers, besides the Earth Spirit Orb, there is also the Wood Spirit Orb. Since there are these two types of spirit orbs, there should be others as well."

“There is a spiritual pearl in the Yin-Yang School called the Yin-Yang Spiritual Pearl, also known as the Taiji Spiritual Pearl,” Ning Yun said. “It is nurtured by a special dragon vein.”

The three of them had already exited the large pit while they were talking.

“Backfill it!” Xu Yue said. “The earth’s energy here has been cleared and will gradually recover. I don’t think there will be any more aftershocks.”

"That's good news."

Li Liang nodded.

The aftershocks can still be quite dangerous.

It was all worth the effort.

Of course, Xu Yue is the most worthwhile.

The appearance of the Earth Spirit Orb was a wonderful surprise.

This trip was incredibly fruitful.

The changes in the earth's energy after the earthquake gave Xu Yue many insights.

Of course, the biggest gain was the Earth Spirit Orb.

Having completed their mission, Xu Yue and Ning Yun did not linger and returned home.

Huang Liang was quick.

Before Xu Yue left, the agricultural trade company had already delivered the goods they had purchased.

In addition to medical supplies, hygiene products, and tents, there was also a considerable amount of food.

However, by the time Xu Yue got home, it was already dark.

"You're back so soon?" Li Xiurong came downstairs after hearing the noise and said to Xu Yue, "Have you had dinner yet? I'll let you smell the food in the pot."

"I haven't eaten yet," Xu Yue said. "You go and rest, I'll take care of it myself."

"No rush," Li Xiurong said. "Your dad's still watching TV. How's the situation over there?"

"It's alright," Xu Yue said. "Most of the collapsed buildings were old-style buildings, and the earthquake happened during the day."

Li Xiurong nodded; she had only asked casually.

"You eat, I'll go upstairs and check on the kids," Li Xiurong said. "I don't know if it's because you weren't here, but the two kids are still awake."

"Is that so?" Xu Yue smiled and said, "I'll eat first."

Xu Yue was indeed quite hungry.

His two children are almost a year old now and can already call him "Dad" and "Mom".

Although it's not very clear.

The two children don't cry at night, go to bed early and get up early, and have even stopped needing nighttime feedings.

The two kids have always been very easy to take care of.

However, they are already taking their first steps and are somewhat useless.

When the two kids heard that Xu Yue was back, they insisted on coming downstairs.

She then went to Xu Yue for a hug.

After being held by one person for a while, they were taken up by Zhang Ruoxi and Li Xiurong.

Xu Yue had just started eating.

We ate quickly, tidied up, and went upstairs, but the child was already asleep.

"You seem to be in a good mood, what's going on?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

He went to the disaster area and came back in a good mood?
This is clearly incorrect.

Xu Yue is not the kind of person who builds his happiness on the suffering of others.

"We found this at the epicenter!"

Xu Yue then took out the Earth Spirit Orb.

"Ok?"

Zhang Ruoxi took it and looked at it, revealing a look of surprise.

"Such rich earth-elemental spiritual energy," Zhang Ruoxi asked. "What is this? An earth spirit orb?"

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded.

"No wonder," Zhang Ruoxi said. "It's a good thing. This kind of thing is hard to come by."

"I'll refine it later and see if you can use it," Xu Yue said. "This Earth Spirit Pearl has countless uses and is well worth studying."

"Forget it." Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and said, "This thing is more useful to you. My cultivation is too low, so let's not waste it. The things you refined before are enough. If one's virtue is not commensurate with one's position, disaster will surely follow. My cultivation is insufficient, so using this thing may not be a good thing."
