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

Chapter 408 People from Wudang Mountain

Is this a trial recruitment?
Do not!
This is fucking stomping on newbies.

Whoever wants to be the food can be the food; Xu Jianghe doesn't want to.

He was a martial arts practitioner, and the importance of stance training is self-evident.

Now that I can't even stand up straight, what's the point of fighting?

He couldn't fully utilize his abilities.

They were never a match for Xu Yue to begin with, and now they can't even unleash their full potential, so they're just going to get thrashed.

Nobody likes to be abused.

It's okay to beat noobs, but it's not okay to be beaten.

"Then I'll figure it out myself."

Xu Yue said with a smile.

What do you mean by "old arms and legs"?

Although Xu Jianghe was older than him, he wasn't much older.

He's only in his early thirties, in the prime of his life.

However, Xu Yue also guessed Xu Jianghe's thoughts.

Xu Yue and Xu Jianghe had sparred before, and their exchanges were fairly even.

This time, Xu Jianghe was powerless to fight back.

He hadn't used his full strength before, and Xu Yue was still not using his full strength now.

If he really went all out, Xu Yue felt he could knock Xu Jianghe down in a matter of minutes.

Now, with the Earth Spirit Orb, both defense and attack power have absolutely doubled.

It's hard to say how many times it has increased, but if they were to encounter that wave of foreigners attacking again, Xu Yue could teach them a lesson in no time without having to put in so much effort.

The Earth Spirit Orb is not only versatile in both offense and defense, possessing immense power, but also has countless ingenious uses.

Its application is certainly not limited to hitting people or controlling soil.

Even if it's just controlling the earth, it's worth Xu Yue's careful consideration.

After refining the Earth Spirit Pearl, Xu Yue felt that his cultivation speed had increased significantly.

Earth Spirit Orb is helpful for cultivation.

This time, we've really struck gold.

I don't know if other spirit orbs have this feature.

For example, Water Spirit Orbs and Wood Spirit Orbs are more suitable for cultivators from farming families.

However, Xu Yue knew how rare such a thing was, and to obtain even one was a stroke of good fortune.

"Luckily, I didn't get to use it," Zhang Ruoxi said. "With my current true energy and spiritual power, I'd probably be drained before I even received any feedback from the spirit pearl."

Xu Yue nodded; he was also somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, Zhang Ruoxi refused.

He only thought of giving good things to his wife, without considering that his cultivation level was insufficient and using them would be more harmful than beneficial.

Does Zhang Ruoxi really understand this principle?

not necessarily.

She probably felt that the thing was more suitable for Xu Yue.

Her thoughts were probably similar to Xu Yue's.

Give the good one to the other person.

"Their defense is very strong. I feel that with my current cultivation level, I can withstand most bombs," Xu Yue said. "Their attack power is even more unpredictable. In front of me, those at the third realm are basically powerless to fight back."

Zhang Ruoxi was not surprised by this.

Xu Yue's combat strength has always been very high, and now that he has obtained the secret treasure, he is naturally even more powerful.

As for the four borders?

Zhang Ruoxi didn't know.

She was unfamiliar with the Four Realms, but she estimated that few could rival Xu Yue.

“Cultivation is faster than before,” Xu Yue said. “Next year, we might even see a glimpse of the Fifth Realm.”

Is it just a shadow?
That's already quite remarkable.

After all, those established fourth-level cultivators have yet to see any sign of a fifth-level cultivator.

How long has Xu Yue been in the fourth realm?
Xu Yue got busy again.

Besides figuring out the wonderful uses of the Earth Spirit Orb, he also had to guide the students in practical application.

Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji have been borrowed by the Special Administration Bureau and are expected to return some time later.

During this period, Xu Yue still needs to follow up on the students' practical work.

Those trainees are growing very quickly.

I won't say I'll graduate next year, but I guess I'll be close to it.

Of course, it will probably take more time before he can stand on his own.

"Should we continue leasing the land?"

When Tian Yizhi arrived, he wandered around for a while and then asked about Xu Yue.

“Rent it!” Xu Yue said. “Although it’s a bit slower, it’s still much better than before. You can keep an eye on the progress, rent it in advance, and start the initial construction.”

"I was just worried you'd take these people to the desert farm," Tian Yizhi said. "They'd probably need practical experience there too, wouldn't they?"

The desert farm is undoubtedly the main attraction.

After graduation, many of those people will probably end up working in the desert.

Practice is definitely indispensable there.

The farm won't just be a desert farm; there will be farms in all the major deserts across the country in the future.

Moreover, the farms in the Badain Jaran Desert are still expanding.

Especially grape cultivation and dairy farming.

The scale will definitely need to be expanded further.

Although the wine and dairy products have not yet been shipped, they are definitely in short supply.

The domestic market still has an unimaginable gap, not to mention the overseas market which is desperately waiting to be served.

Red wine is more popular than white wine abroad.

"Let's talk about it next year," Xu Yue said. "By the way, do you think we should give these trainees who are doing practical training a little something, like a salary or subsidy?"

"The boss has the final say."

Tian Yizhi paused for a moment, then smiled and answered.

"I was just asking for your opinion, weren't I? They're working for the farm too, aren't they?" Xu Yue said.

"They didn't pay your tuition either."

Tian Yizhi said that after all, these students not only do not pay tuition fees, but also have their food and accommodation provided.

Leaving aside the accommodations, the food consisted entirely of the farm's finest cuisine.

If it were Shuxiang Pavilion or Yuelai Hotel, their daily food expenses would exceed ten thousand yuan per person.

The course is free, and room and board are provided. Besides, this practical experience is part of the curriculum.

This is to teach them.

It's already good enough that we didn't make them pay tuition, why are you giving them subsidies?
"Great kindness can turn into great enmity!"

Tian Yizhi couldn't help but say another thing.

Xu Yue paused for a moment, then simply smiled.

If we give them money, they might feel entitled to it and then ask for more in the future.

Xu Yue naturally understood this concern.

"This is hardly a great favor," Xu Yue said. "Just a token amount, fifty yuan a day for each person. Perhaps most people won't need it, but some will."

Why don't most people need it?
Needless to say, Shen Yu and the others come from wealthy families and are also rich themselves.

Another group consists of students from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. They are enrolled but still receive a salary.

They eat government-supplied food.

But some people are different.

For example, Meng Hao, who transferred from another school and whose family wasn't well-off.

Fifty yuan might be insignificant to Shen Yu and others, but for Meng Hao, it solved many problems.

Although the school does not charge tuition fees and provides room and board, there are still places to spend money on daily life.

“Okay!” Tian Yizhi nodded and said, “I’ll have someone hand over the information to the school later.”

For many people, fifty yuan is really nothing special.

But for some people, it can be a lifesaver in their time of need.

This is certainly not a great favor.

"Have you entered the country?"

Xu Yue looked at Tian Yizhi and said with a smile.

He had been wondering why Tian Yizhi had come to hang around in front of him today.

"Ok!"

Tian Yizhi smiled and nodded, his joy evident on his face.

"not bad."

Xu Yue smiled and said something.

It's not bad, after all, Tian Yizhi is very busy, where would he find the time to cultivate?

Otherwise, how could it have taken so long to reach the first realm in Peach Blossom Village?
After all, the first realm is quite easy to reach.

Back at the school, those who couldn't even sense the Qi before have now been in the first realm for quite some time.

"My health seems to have improved a lot since I entered the country," Tian Yizhi said. "Does that mean I can live a few more years?"

"Whether entering the country can increase lifespan is hard to say," Xu Yue said. "However, if you are in good health, you will naturally live longer than if you are not."

Isn't this nonsense?
Tian Yizhi didn't know what to say.

"Yan Ju?"

Xu Yue was about to say something when the phone rang. It was Yan Tian calling.

"it is good!"

Xu Yue hung up the phone, said goodbye to Han Lingxue, and then went back.

Yan Tian was already inside the pavilion, with a Taoist priest beside him.

Xu Yue was surprised when he saw this.

A master of the fourth realm of martial arts.

Moreover, it involves both spiritual and martial arts cultivation.

However, spiritual cultivation seems to only have three realms.

"Yan Ju!"

Xu Yue smiled and walked forward, greeted him, and then looked at the Taoist priest beside him.

“This is Master Chen Yunlong of Wudang,” Yan Tian said. “I’m acting as an intermediary this time. Master Yunlong was looking for you, and he was afraid that coming alone would be a bit presumptuous.”

"Fellow Daoist Xu!"

Chen Yunlong smiled and gave Xu Yue a bow.

"Master Yunlong!"

Xu Yue also replied, after all, it was their first meeting and he wanted to be polite.

"Drink tea!"

At this moment, Zhang Ruoxi brought out tea, and Xu Yue quickly served it to the two of them.

"I wonder what business Master Yunlong has with me?"

Xu Yue asked.

It must be something extraordinary, otherwise they wouldn't have dragged Yan Tian along.

"My Wudang sect has collected several agricultural treatises, as well as some ancient Qi cultivators' supernatural abilities," Chen Yunlong said without mincing words. "In addition, there are some weapon-refining methods and array diagrams. I wonder if we could exchange them with Fellow Daoist Xu to improve Wudang's Dao fields."

As he spoke, Chen Yunlong handed Xu Yue a file folder.

Xu Yue didn't stand on ceremony and quickly browsed through the app.

"I wonder how much farmland in Wudang needs improvement?"

Xu Yue asked.

The things Chen Yunlong gave were quite valuable.

There are very few works on farming, and two of them were even already written by Xu Yue.

As for the supernatural abilities of the ancient Qi cultivators, they are not the same as those of the peasants. It is unknown whether Xu Yue can cultivate them, but it is still possible to learn from them.

In addition, the methods of weapon crafting and the array diagrams are also extremely valuable.

"It's a few acres larger than Longhu Mountain."

Master Yunlong did not provide specific data, but he did provide a reference.

Chen Yunlong was naturally aware that Xu Yue had set up formations and improved the farmland in Qingcheng Mountain and Longhu Mountain.

After all, they are all from the Taoist sect.

He wasn't sure, after all, Qingcheng Mountain and Xu Yue had been on good terms from the beginning, and their relationship was quite special.

It seems that the Old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain also had some connection with Xu Yue.

But Wudang Mountain doesn't have that.

Xu Yue's arrangement for them to improve the land must have involved personal connections.

Should we continue collecting what Xu Yue needs?

I don't know when it went.

Falling behind by one step may mean falling further and further behind.

They used so many connections and even favors to collect these things over such a long time at Wudang Mountain.

I continued collecting, but I don't know when or how long I'll stop.

He didn't know if he could exchange these things for Xu Yue setting up an array for them.

So he found Yan Tian.

Yan Tian has a connection with Wudang Mountain.

He also had a very good relationship with Xu Yue, and besides, he was now the director of the Special Administration Bureau, so he had some influence.

"Row!"

Xu Yue agreed readily without any hesitation.

He only glanced at Yan Tian beforehand.

Is it good value for money?

That's not the case.

This involves both Yan Tian's face and Wudang Mountain's face.

Xu Yuezhen doesn't mind befriending Wudang Mountain.

One more friend means one more way.

Wudang Mountain is definitely a major force in the cultivation world.

Of course, Xu Yue doesn't need to deliberately befriend him now.

Taoyuan Village is no longer a place with only a few big cats and small dogs.

It has grown to the point where it fears no cultivation force.

Moreover, he has the backing of a nation.

Many cultivators have connections with the official authorities.

For example, Yu Suihai was an external staff member of the Special Administration Bureau.

However, it shouldn't be as closely connected as Taoyuan Village.

"Director Yan, when will my two men be back?"

Xu Yue looked at Yan Tian and asked.

"I'm afraid it will take some more time," Yan Tian said. "They still need to go and see for themselves."

“Then Daoist Yunlong will have to wait,” Xu Yue said. “I’m currently unavailable.”

"It doesn't matter!"

Chen Yunlong quickly waved his hand and said.

He never expected that Xu Yue would immediately set up a formation for him at Wudang Mountain.

They're already being very generous by setting up the formation; why would you expect them to act immediately?

What are you thinking?

"Hmm? Good tea!"

Chen Yunlong took a sip of tea, and his eyes immediately lit up.

He naturally had his share of shortcomings as well.

I enjoy drinking it regularly.

I just didn't expect that Xu Yue's tea would be so much better.

"If Daoist Yunlong likes it, then I'll keep a couple of cans of it later."

Xu Yue said with a smile.

His family has no shortage of tea, even if they give it away occasionally.

"Thank you very much."

Chen Yunlong was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but in the end he smiled and thanked him.

This tea is simply irresistible.

Those who cultivate Taoism often enjoy tea.

Chen Yunlong is clearly a tea connoisseur.

"And me?"

Seeing that Xu Yue had nothing to say, Yan Tian immediately asked.

"You took too little tea from me?" Xu Yue said with a sneer. "Don't tell me you didn't have any left."

"Who would complain about having too much tea from your place?" Yan Tian said. "Also, prepare a few bottles of wine for me later, I'll take them with me."

"This is blatant solicitation of bribes!"

Xu Yue smiled and nodded.

Yan Tian had never asked him for it before, so this time he did, it must be useful.

Whether it's tea or wine.

"You still need to bribe me?" Yan Tian said with a smile. "Master Yunlong belongs to the Zhengyi lineage. You can also prepare some for him."

"Row!"

Xu Yue nodded; it was just a few bottles of wine.

Wudang Mountain has both Quanzhen and Zhengyi sects.

Qingcheng Mountain was originally Zhengyi sect, and later Quanzhen sect.

However, there is still the Zhengyi sect today.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Chen Yunlong said with a smile. "I've long heard of Peach Blossom Immortal Wine."

Chen Yunlong naturally guessed what kind of wine Yan Tian was "demanding".

I'll take all the tea, and I wouldn't mind taking a few more bottles of wine too.

He who takes a bribe is beholden to it?

He really didn't mind owing Xu Yue a favor.

Besides, Wudang Mountain already owes Xu Yue a debt because he agreed to set up the formation there.

He didn't think what he offered was worth Xu Yue's effort.

There was plenty of wine at home, and naturally, there was plenty for Yan Tian and Chen Yunlong.

Yan Tian and his companion didn't linger. After discussing their business and exchanging tea, they took their leave.

Xu Yue then carefully examined the things that Wudang Mountain had given him.
