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

Chapter 407 Offense and Defense Combined, Immense Power
The Earth Spirit Orb is not as magical as depicted in novels and movies.

Of course, compared to ordinary magical artifacts, it is far superior in both power and ingenious use.

To use a phrase from a novel, no matter how powerful a crafted magical artifact is, it is still an acquired magical artifact.

But the Earth Spirit Pearl, born from the earth, is an innate magic treasure.

This description may not be entirely accurate, but those who understand will understand the meaning.

It's hard to say how good Xu Yue's weapon-refining skills are, but they must be quite good in the cultivation world.

However, he couldn't imbue the magical artifact with spiritual energy, let alone such a vast amount of spiritual energy.

The Earth Spirit Orb possesses an extremely large amount of earth-elemental spiritual energy. Even if it were not used as a magic weapon, it would be excellent as a cultivation resource.

Especially in this era of spiritual depletion.

Farmers cultivate spiritual energy based on the elements of earth, wood, and water.

Soil is the heaviest of the three.

After all, farmers have a close connection with the earth's veins.

Therefore, this Earth Spirit Pearl is even more precious to cultivators from farming families.

However, Xu Yue never intended to use this Earth Spirit Pearl as a cultivation resource to absorb the earth-attribute spiritual energy within and increase his cultivation level.

That would be a true waste of resources.

Now he has no shortage of cultivation resources.

The spiritual energy of Taoyuan Village is getting better day by day.

The next day, Xu Yue went to the laboratory.

In his office, he pondered how to use it.
Should we inscribe array patterns on it and re-refine it?
This was Xu Yue's previous idea.

However, he now feels that it is unnecessary.

The Earth Spirit Pearl is a unified whole; if array patterns are inscribed on it, Xu Yue cannot guarantee whether the spiritual energy within it will leak out.

If it is re-refined, will it cause damage?

Xu Yue wasn't sure either.

The more he sensed the Earth Spirit Pearl, the more he felt that inscribing array patterns was superfluous.

How can I use it?
That's a problem.

Among the inheritances that Xu Yue received were descriptions of treasures of heaven and earth, such as the Earth Spirit Pearl.

Of course, not everything is available.

However, there are indeed some things like the Earth Spirit Pearl that are closely related to farmers.

It was only mentioned that the Earth Spirit Orb was of great use to farmers, as it could serve as a base for arrays, allowing them to set up large arrays, and could be refined into a secret treasure, combining offense and defense.

Deploy troops?

This is not necessary.

Near Xu Yue's house, he had already set up a large formation using a stone mill as its base.

If we encounter a strong enemy, that's enough.

How can I refine it into a secret treasure?

Xu Yue looked at the Earth Spirit Pearl in his palm, but couldn't bring himself to do it for the time being.

However, he immediately injected the primordial energy and then invaded it with his spiritual power.

A two-pronged approach.

This was a method Xu Yue borrowed from when refining magical artifacts, where he imprinted his spiritual power and aura.

Ok?
Xu Yue was suddenly taken aback.

When his primordial energy merged into the Earth Spirit Pearl, it instantly mingled with the spiritual energy within the pearl, and then his primordial energy seemed to flow into it uncontrollably.

The same applies to mental strength!
Won't it get sucked dry?

Xu Yue subconsciously tried to control the primordial energy and spiritual power within his body.

He was at the fourth level of cultivation, having already condensed his core. Whether it was primordial energy or spiritual power within his body, they were all unified and he could control them freely.

If he wants to control it, there's definitely no problem.

If it were someone who hadn't yet condensed their core, they might actually have been drained dry.

Those who have not yet condensed their inner core do not have a strong control over their own power.

Or rather, if one cannot achieve a unified whole, then the whole body is riddled with flaws.

However, just as Xu Yue was about to control his primordial energy and spiritual power, the Earth Spirit Pearl transformed into a beam of yellow light and instantly merged into his body, then began to nourish him.

Both Xu Yue's primordial energy and his spiritual power are constantly increasing.

They made a fortune!

Xu Yue instantly understood one of the effects of the Earth Spirit Orb.

It is helpful for cultivation.

At the same time, his method of refining the Earth Spirit Pearl was correct.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yue's primordial energy and spiritual power merged with the Earth Spirit Orb.

With a thought, Xu Yue summoned the Earth Spirit Orb into his hand.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the Earth Spirit Orb vanished.

It can actually be refined into the body and moved at will.

"Buzz!"

With a thought, Xu Yue enveloped it in a yellow light.

This is the defensive aura of the Earth Spirit Orb.

How strong is its defense?
Xu Yue wasn't sure, but he felt it was much stronger than the protective jade talisman he carried.

The key point is that this thing isn't disposable.

It can be used again after it has been used.

Moreover, unlike amulets, it doesn't disappear in a flash; as long as your vital energy isn't depleted, you can use it indefinitely.

However, its only drawback compared to the protective jade talisman is that it cannot provide active defense.

A protective jade amulet will actively defend itself when encountering danger.

This requires Xu Yue to detect the danger and then defend against it.

However, it can be activated with just a thought.

The speed was still quite fast, but ultimately it was a passive situation.

Even so, Xu Yue was still very satisfied.

This is only the defensive capability.

This Earth Spirit Orb is capable of both offense and defense.

It has a very strong attack power.

How to attack?

Should I smash it like a brick?
This isn't bad either; it's better than a brick, and you can even take it back with your mind.

Unlike a brick, it's gone forever.

However, that's not the correct way to use the Earth Spirit Orb.

Earth Spirit Orb can control earth!

Anything that is of the earth element can be controlled with his help.

Of course, the degree of control depends greatly on one's own cultivation level.

Theoretically, it is feasible within Xu Yue's perception range.

Moreover, it can not only control the soil, but also strengthen the control over the earth's energy.

Yes, it's about strengthening.

Xu Yue was able to control the earth's energy to kill snipers in the distance.

However, if the Earth Spirit Orb is used, the power will be greater and the accuracy will be more precise.

Let's find a place to test it out?
Heart is worse than action.

How can you guess the attack power of the Earth Spirit Orb?
Where are you headed?

Xu Yue ran into Xu Jianghe, who was coming out of the camp, as soon as he left the laboratory.

"I've got a good item. I'm going to find a place to test its attack power!"

Xu Yue said with a smile.

"There aren't many people at the camp right now. If it's not something highly confidential, it should be fine, right?"

Xu Jianghe spoke.

"it is good!"

Xu Yue naturally had no objection.

The camp is now only guarded at the entrance; everyone else has gone to train.

Training isn't confined to the camp.

"What good stuff?"

Upon entering the camp, Xu Jianghe asked curiously.

"I obtained an Earth Spirit Orb at the epicenter," Xu Yue said. "Now I've refined it myself, and I want to see if it's as rumored—a perfect combination of offense and defense, with boundless power."

"Oh?"

Xu Jianghe was somewhat surprised, but didn't ask any further questions.

Earth Spirit Pearl?
What it is?
He was a martial arts practitioner and didn't know much about magic weapons or artifacts.

"Try punching me, Uncle!"

Xu Yue spoke.

Xu Jianghe didn't hesitate and immediately stepped forward to deliver a punch.

Xu Yue is better than him.

That's the difference between the third and fourth realms, so Xu Jianghe naturally wasn't worried about injuring Xu Yue.

As the fist slammed down, a luminous shield suddenly formed around Xu Yue, blocking the punch.

Xu Jianghe felt as if his fist had struck a steel plate, and even felt a slight pain.

The force of the recoil!

If he had smashed the steel plate, his hand wouldn't have hurt so much. Although there would have been a recoil, it wouldn't have been this severe.

"Oh!"

Xu Jianghe threw another punch.

If the first punch used only brute force, then this round used internal energy. However, the result was that he was forced back several steps by the impact.

"Even the Three Realms cannot break through your protective light barrier!"

Xu Jianghe did not continue his attack, but instead spoke.

Two punches are enough.

If the third realm cannot be broken, then what about the fourth realm?
There was nothing he could do about that.

Taoyuan Village now only has Xu Yue as its only neighbor.

"A protective light shield?" Xu Yue said with a sneer, "That's too low-class. You should call it a protective divine light."

Xu Jianghe just smiled.

Protective divine light?

That definitely sounds much more sophisticated.

Whatever you like.

as long as you are happy.

However, even with all my strength, I couldn't break that light bottle; it truly deserved the title of "divine light."

"Try using firearms!"

Xu Yue spoke.

He actually had firearms on him, and not just ordinary firearms, but also hand grenades.

Where did those things come from?

It naturally came from the military.

Lee Joo-ting and Heo Kang-ha also possess these traits.

This happened after we acquired the storage artifact.

Special approval from the military.

In addition, some of the farm's security personnel also have gun licenses.

I just don't usually wear it.

People like Li Zhuting, who are at the third realm, possess storage magic items, so they naturally carry them with them just in case.

As for why Xu Yue received special treatment?

That's because Xu Yue is more important than anyone else.

Although he was at the fourth level, it was still necessary for him to carry some firearms for self-defense.

As for whether he would use it for evil purposes?
If he wanted to do evil, he wouldn't need firearms at all.

"it is good!"

Xu Jianghe had no objection when he saw that Xu Yue wanted to test the firearms.

He then took out his pistol and, after Xu Yue's protective aura appeared, fired a shot at Xu Yue.

They didn't care whether it was a vital organ or not.

The protective divine light couldn't stop the pistol, but the protective jade talisman on Xu Yue's body could.

He was unaware that Xu Yue possessed more than one protective jade talisman.

Yes, he has more than one.

In addition to the one around the neck, there was also a protective array made up of a protective jade talisman on the wrist.

"Oh!"

The bullet struck the divine light, creating a ripple before falling to the ground.

It was blocked.

It seems quite easy.

"Try firing a few more shots."

Xu Yue then went to the doctor, but Xu Jianghe didn't help. He then fired, emptying the magazine, but the yellow aura around Xu Yue showed no signs of breaking.

"Shall we try again?"

Xu Jianghe looked at Xu Yue and asked.

Try again, or rather, try to find the limit of what it can withstand.

Or, to put it another way, how much true energy does a single shot consume?

"Try the AK!"

Xu Yue thought for a moment and then spoke.

After those few shots, he had a rough estimate of how long a phone could withstand an attack.

The consumption of true energy should be related to the force of the attack.

The greater the power, the more it consumes.

"it is good!"

Xu Jianghe hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Xu Yue must be trying to prove something, so what does he have to worry about?

"Da da da"

One burst of bullets still failed to break the light barrier.

Xu Jianghe looked surprised.

This Earth Spirit Orb has some amazing defensive capabilities.

"Shall we try again?"

Xu Jianghe looked at Xu Yue and asked.

"No need," Xu Yue shook his head and said, "This is unnecessary."

"We don't need this?" Xu Jianghe said. "You don't still want to test the grenade, do you? Have you thought this through? What if it doesn't hold up?"

“It should be able to block it,” Xu Yue said. “Even if this defensive light shield can’t stop it, I still have a protective jade talisman on me, and that will give me enough time to dodge. I just want to confirm a guess.”

"Then try it."

Xu Jianghe glanced at Xu Yue, then took a grenade. Only after the yellow aura appeared on Xu Yue's body did he pull the pin and throw the grenade over.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Xu Yue's protective divine light remained unbroken.

"That's amazing!"

Xu Jianghe looked somewhat shocked.

Even a grenade couldn't break it?

Xu Yue smiled and withdrew his defenses.

"That consumed quite a bit of true energy," Xu Yue said. "However, the Earth Spirit Orb's defense is indeed strong."

That's incredibly strong!
Xu Yue felt that as long as he had enough true energy, he could withstand even a nuclear bomb.

Of course, he knew very well that the idea of ​​resisting nuclear weapons was a complete misconception.

Even if he could, he wouldn't have that much internal energy to consume.

After a few more grenades, he felt his internal energy was about to run out.

How much more powerful is a hand grenade compared to a nuclear bomb?
"What about attack power?"

Xu Jianghe couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

With such terrifying defensive capabilities, its destructive power must be immense, right?

It combines offense and defense, making it incredibly powerful.

These words had left a deep impression on him when Xu Yue said them.

"Try it!"

Xu Yue immediately had a thought and then smashed it towards a spot not far away.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the ground shook, and a large crater appeared, several meters wide and over a meter deep.

The ground at the camp wasn't paved with cement, but it was still quite hard.

“This is more powerful than a hand grenade,” Xu Jianghe said. “The key is that it’s very fast. If you throw it at me, with my reaction time and speed, it might not even hit me.”

"Oh!" Xu Yue smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just curious and wanted to see what would happen if I used the Earth Spirit Orb as a brick. That's not the real way to use the Earth Spirit Orb."

Ok?
Upon hearing this, Xu Jianghe looked at Xu Yue with curiosity.

Then he saw the large crater that had been smashed not far away slowly recover.

The soil that was blasted out actually filled back in automatically.

Soil control?

"bang bang bang"

However, the soil suddenly coalesced into spikes, which then shot towards the distant target, piercing the bullseye.

"This"

Xu Jianghe's pupils contracted, and he was momentarily speechless.

If he were hit with an Earth Spirit Orb, he would still have some room to react.

But what if we use earth spikes?
They probably won't be able to react in time.

too fast.

The key is that it's impossible to guard against; the mud behind you could very well become a weapon that kills you.

How to prevent this?
Unless there is no soil around.

It's terrifying to think about; it's truly horrifying.

Previously, Xu Jianghe felt that he could still put up a fight with Xu Yue, and even if he was no match for him, at least he wouldn't be completely helpless.

Now, in front of Xu Yue, he felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Ok?
As Xu Jianghe was shocked, he suddenly realized that the soil beneath his feet had loosened, and then another layer of soil instantly spread up to his waist and wrapped around him.

"Oh!"

Xu Jianghe unleashed his inner strength, dispersing the mud that had enveloped him, and then leaped to a distance, only to miss his footing and nearly fall flat on his face.

"stop!"

Xu Jianghe shouted, and at the same time, he used one hand to support himself on the ground and did a somersault to stop.

If he hadn't shouted that, his hand that was bracing itself on the ground would probably have missed its mark.

“If you want to try something, go find someone else. Don’t bother me,” Xu Jianghe said. “Your third uncle’s old arms and legs can’t take your abuse.”
