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

Chapter 409 I Want to Be a Sword Immortal

The things Wudang Mountain gave us included five agricultural writings.

Unfortunately, two of Xu Yue's articles already exist.

The three articles are quite good.

Furthermore, the supernatural abilities of ancient Qi cultivators did not include those of the peasant school.

Xu Yue doesn't need farmers' money.

He has a complete legacy.

However, it's good to know about it.

If anyone is interested, Xu Yue wouldn't mind giving it a try.

Who would complain about having too many supernatural abilities?
Having more skills is never a bad thing.

If it weren't for the fear of not having enough energy and not being able to do too much at once, Xu Yue would have thought of practicing as much as he could.

When Xu Yue was looking at it, Zhang Ruoxi also arrived.

"The child is asleep?"

Xu Yue looked up.

"Yes! Mom's watching from upstairs."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded. If the child hadn't been asleep, Zhang Ruoxi really wouldn't have had time to come.

"Take a look," Xu Yue said with a smile. "There are agricultural writings, ancient Qi cultivators' supernatural abilities, some weapon-refining methods, and array diagrams."

"reward?"

Zhang Ruoxi nodded, asked a casual question, and then picked it up to read.

Agricultural writings were written on jade slips, and also on bamboo slips.

They gave us the original document.

However, they thoughtfully provided a translation.

The other ancient Qi cultivators' supernatural abilities and techniques were also given in their original form.

Or rather, what they give are original items, not some kind of rubbing.

This is Wudang Mountain's way of showing its sincerity.

Of course, there must be rubbings preserved in Wudang Mountain.

“Hmm!” Xu Yue said, “Yan Tian brought him here, so we should give him some face. Besides, even if he had come on his own, I don’t think I would have refused.”

“There’s really no need to refuse,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “Spiritual land will become less and less valuable. So why not exchange it for more things you need while it’s still valuable?”

Why has it become worthless?
Things are valued for their scarcity; if there are more and more of them, they will naturally become worthless.

Wealth, companionship, Dharma, and land!

When wealth depreciates, the value of law will continuously increase.

As for partners?
Xu Yue's current good relations with Wudang Mountain are simply an opportunity to increase his "companionship," aren't they?

Neither of them said anything more, but began to look through the pages.

The items offered by Wudang Mountain are of higher value than those from Qingcheng Mountain and Longhu Mountain.

At least that's what Xu Yue thought.

"Look at this!"

Zhang Ruoxi handed the item in her hand to Xu Yue.

Xu Yue took it curiously, glanced at it briefly, and then showed a look of surprise.

"Sword control techniques?" Xu Yue said. "Could it be that there really were sword immortals in ancient times?"

“The legend of the sword immortal has a long history,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “It’s probably not just a rumor. However, this sword control technique seems to be incomplete.”

"It's already quite good," Xu Yue said. "There aren't many missing parts; at least the most important aspects, such as sword forging and sword maintenance, are complete."

To wield a sword, the sword must be forged using a special method and nurtured using a special method, so that the person and the sword can become one, and wielding the sword can be as easy as using one's own arm.

However, some aspects of sword control techniques are missing.

"What a pity," Zhang Ruoxi said. "If we had all of them, our combat strength would have skyrocketed."

"The art of killing is probably no longer needed."

Xu Yue shook his head, but didn't seem to regret it much.

The missing part of the sword control technique is actually the technique of killing.

how to say?

Among the things Wudang Mountain gives you, there are instructions on how to forge flying swords, as well as how to cultivate and use them. It's actually quite comprehensive, except for some powerful supernatural sword techniques.

In other words, it lacks powerful, lethal moves.

But this isn't ancient times anymore, and in Xu Yue's opinion, it's already sufficient.

“That’s true.” Zhang Ruoxi nodded and said, “Taking someone’s head from a thousand miles away is not as effective as using a missile.”

“A thousand miles away? That’s an exaggeration,” Xu Yue said. “If I learn it, I’d probably have a similar effective range to a sniper rifle. But it should be more effective than a sniper rifle.”

Why?

Because bullets don't curve, but flying swords can.

Of course, the power of a spirit is also closely related to its strength.

"With your current level of skill, are you capable of flying on a sword?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue curiously.

Who among those who cultivates themselves doesn't dream of flying through the sky or disappearing into the earth?

Xu Yue can now burrow underground.

Moreover, with the help of the Earth Spirit Orb, both the distance and speed are much faster than before.

While it can't compare to the earth-遁术 (earth-遁术) in novels, it's definitely amazing.

"I think it will be difficult," Xu Yue said. "With my current mental strength, even with the aid of a flying sword, I can probably only stay in the air for a short time and fly briefly. However, this is just a guess. I'll try it later. I reckon if I condense my primordial spirit, then it should be no problem."

Xu Yue was quite interested in this sword control technique.

Who doesn’t want that?

Wudang Mountain actually sent this kind of thing.

"We probably can't even get past the hurdle of forging a flying sword," Zhang Ruoxi said. "We have the forging method, but what about the materials? We don't even know how to gather them, let alone collect them! For example, what exactly is this Blazing Iron?"

The materials are one of the challenges in crafting flying swords.

With all the materials gathered, refining them became a major challenge.

This may also be one of the reasons why sword immortals have disappeared.

Of course, it may also be related to the ancient changes in the world.

"Ask a professional about it later."

Xu Yue replied with a smile.

Who is the professional?
Of course, it's Liu Guoxing and others.

His laboratory not only has experts in physics like himself, but also many materials experts.

Wasn't it them who got the special metal for the storage artifact?
"If we had a sample like the one in the bucket, things would be much easier."

Zhang Ruoxi spoke.

With today's technology, no matter what material you use, we can not only analyze it for you, but also extract it and find the same thing.

"Do you think the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, might actually be a flying sword?"

Xu Yue suddenly spoke.

When it comes to famous masters of the past, this sword is probably the first thing that comes to mind.

This sword is not only exquisitely crafted, but can even be described as a masterpiece. The key is that the pommel is rolled outward into a circular shape, with 11 concentric circles cast inside, spaced only 0.2 millimeters apart. The blade is covered with regular black diamond-shaped patterns, and the front of the guard is inlaid with blue gemstones, while the back is inlaid with turquoise.

The sword has a long, slender blade with a central ridge, two sharp secondary edges, and a curved, concave tip. Two raised bands adorn the hilt, and a round ornament features concentric circles.

Xu Yue suspected that the concentric circles and rhombus-shaped patterns were some kind of engraved array patterns.

From the perspective of a cultivator, this sword looks exactly like it was forged using the methods of weapon crafting.

"If that's true, that's great," Zhang Ruoxi said. "The composition of the sword alloy must have been detected long ago."

"How about I ask Yan Tian if their Special Administration Bureau has flying swords?" Xu Yue said. "If they do, then they must have done relevant scientific experiments."

Zhang Ruoxi paused for a moment, then nodded.

Don't tell me, it's really possible.

If the Special Administration Bureau obtains the flying sword, it will definitely conduct related experiments.

Once the thought arose, Xu Yue couldn't suppress it and immediately took out his phone to call Yan Tian.

"The Special Administration Bureau has collected some divine weapons, but I don't think they have any flying swords." "Whether the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, is a flying sword, I don't know. However, if you are interested in this sword, I can find you a test report."

Xu Yue wasn't disappointed; it was something he had expected.

The next day, instead of going to see the trainees practice, he went to the school to find Liu Guoxing.

He really wanted to get the flying sword out.

Why do so many people like sword immortals?

Maybe it's because he's handsome.

At least that's what Xu Yue thought.

“Blazing Iron?” Liu Guoxing said, “It’s hard to determine what it is with only one name. If you say it has some special properties, we can make some guesses.”

"Could it be volcanic rock?"

Li Ping, who was standing next to him, spoke up. He was a materials expert in Liu Guoxing's research team.

The special metal used in that storage artifact was refined by him and his team.

"Volcanic rock?"

Xu Yue was taken aback. What was the connection between this Blazing Iron and volcanic rock?
Huh?
It seems there really is.

Volcanic rock is a very precious porous stone formed from volcanic glass, minerals and air bubbles after a volcanic eruption. Volcanic rock contains dozens of minerals and trace elements such as sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, calcium, titanium, manganese, iron, nickel, cobalt and molybdenum.

Could Yanchi Iron be iron extracted from volcanic rock?

"Does Dr. Li mean that Yanchi Iron might be iron refined from volcanic rock?"

Xu Yue continued to ask.

"Just a guess," Li Ping said with a smile. "What are you planning to do with all this?"

"I obtained the method for forging flying swords from Wudang Mountain, and I just wanted to try it out, didn't I?" Xu Yue said with a smile. "These things are the materials for forging flying swords."

"Flying sword?"

Liu Guoxing and the others were surprised, but they quickly recovered.

What's so special about flying swords?
They had all seen storage artifacts before, and this person in front of them could even refine them.

It's a pity that it can only be given to those whose cultivation level has reached a certain level.

Scientists like them are useless.

This is undoubtedly what drives them crazy.

They deserve immense credit for Xu Yue's ability to refine storage artifacts.

Xu Yue also provided them with [something].

Unfortunately, it's unusable; it can only be used for research.

If it's unusable, the difficulty of researching it increases exponentially.

If it can be used?

The research would then be much less difficult, and there wouldn't be so few substantial results to date.

Of course, they have made great breakthroughs in many areas of research.

They're just not very satisfied with it themselves.

After all, Xu Yue was already able to refine it and had even given it to many people to use.

And what about them?

Science has fallen behind metaphysics!

They don't think science is inferior to metaphysics.

That thing is, after all, a kind of metaphysical thing.

“You can study these things for me, look through some materials, and maybe you can deduce them,” Li Ping said. “You can also check the descriptions of these things in the cultivation world, which may increase the accuracy of your deductions.”

"it is good!"

Xu Yue smiled and nodded.

Based solely on the name of a material, is the probability too high? If there were a description, then perhaps it would be possible to make a deduction.

Just like people who speak different Sichuan dialects, could he guess that "灰毛儿" means tofu? Could he guess that "克妈" means frog?

When it came to forging flying swords, Xu Yue never imagined it would be done overnight.

Gathering the materials will likely take a considerable amount of time.

After chatting with Liu Guoxing and the others for a while, Xu Yue went directly to check on the trainees' practical situation.

As for the flying sword, Xu Yue didn't want to waste too much time before he had collected all the materials.

The students' practical experience has now been streamlined, so Xu Yue no longer needs to pay too much attention to it.

I only occasionally answer their questions and offer some guidance.

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Yu plopped down next to Xu Yue and casually asked.

"Swordsmanship!"

Xu Yue replied casually.

Although it's still unknown when all the materials for forging flying swords will be gathered, the methods for forging flying swords and the application of spiritual power to control them have been very enlightening for Xu Yue.

comprehend by analogy!
Although Xu Yue has a complete inheritance and doesn't need to worry about cultivation, he needs to comprehend the supernatural arrays on his own.

Without a master's guidance, it's not easy to figure things out on your own.

"Sword control technique?" Shen Yu looked at Xu Yue in surprise and said, "Is the Sword Immortal real?"

"Who knows?" Xu Yue shook his head and said, "However, it should be different from what's depicted in novels and movies."

"Teach me!" Shen Yu said. "I want to become a sword immortal, it's so cool!"

"You can now be considered a descendant of the farming family," Xu Yue said with a smile, looking at Shen Yu. "Are you betraying the farming family?"

"Oh!" Shen Yu smiled and said, "It's always good to have more skills. Besides, who says a farmer's son can't become a sword immortal?"

“That makes a lot of sense.” Xu Yue nodded and said, “The key is how to achieve it? I haven’t even figured it out myself yet, so how can I teach you! If you want to become a sword immortal, then work hard. Without reaching the fourth realm, you don’t even qualify to fly on a sword.”

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu looked at Xu Yue in surprise.

Four borders?

He has only just entered the second realm, and hasn't even seen a glimpse of the third realm yet.

Moreover, after he entered the second realm and was able to cultivate divine power formations, he became somewhat lax in his cultivation.

He had no ambition for the Three Realms or anything like that, let alone the Four Realms.

"You think that the supernatural abilities and formations learned in the second realm are all that the Farmer School has to offer?" Xu Yue said. "You underestimate the Farmer School too much. Besides, the higher the realm, the greater the power of those supernatural abilities. The Farmer School's methods can not only summon wind and rain, but also allow them to fly and escape into the earth."

Farmers have the art of burrowing underground, and Xu Yue has mastered it now.

However, you can't learn it without reaching the Four Realms.

As for flying?

This really exists.

It's just that Xu Yue can't cultivate it yet.

Many supernatural abilities require the primordial spirit as a foundation.

"So awesome?"

Shen Yu was somewhat surprised.

He could command the wind and rain, fly through the sky and disappear into the earth—things he never dared to imagine before.

But does he believe it?

They actually believed it.

At least he had seen Xu Yue command the wind and rain, and summon thunder.

Of course, its power is quite different from what is depicted in novels and movies, but it's still pretty awesome.

"There's no such thing as 'most awesome,' only 'more awesome,'" Xu Yue said. "You guys are quite farsighted. Right now, those at the Second Realm might be considered experts in the cultivation world, but what about later?"

Previously, someone at the second level would definitely be considered a master.

But now?

There must have been an extra "maybe" before that.

After all, there are now dozens more people at the second level, and the number will continue to grow in the future.

Once you reach the second realm or higher, you're no longer considered a master.

"Sigh." Shen Yu shook her head and said, "I'm just a rich second-generation who lives a life of leisure and has no ambition! You're tempting me again."
