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

Chapter 419 Aren't you afraid of being set up?
Xu Yue couldn't say how Ning Yun's luck would be.

But he felt that his luck was definitely better than Ning Yun's.

The negotiations with the Middle East were quickly completed.

Desertification control and import of Taoyuan products.

The price is a bit higher than in China.

Of course, the main factor is not price, but quantity.

As for the Spirit Rain Formation, Guo Tianyou did not refuse.

The other party gave him a large red envelope.

The really big kind.

How did Xu Yue know this?

He told Guo Tianyou when he sent him that if the other party gave it to him, he should accept it.

However, Guo Tianyou handled the formation himself.

It must be made clear first: formations can be set up, but their effectiveness is not guaranteed.

Because the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array is related to spiritual energy.

As for the spiritual energy over there, that's hard to say.

In Taoyuan Village and the mineral water factory, there are not only spirit-gathering arrays, but also spirit-transforming arrays.

Guo Tianyou is still unable to set up the Spirit Transformation Array, which transforms the earth's energy into spiritual energy.

That formation cannot be set up using feng shui techniques.

However, Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji developed a second-level Spirit Transformation Array.

It may not be as effective as the Spirit Transformation Array, but it is still somewhat useful. Given enough time, it may be able to achieve the initial effects of the Spirit Transformation Array.

"It should be correct, right?"

Yan Tian looked at Xu Yue and asked.

Xu Yue was holding a bright red bead in his hand.

“That’s right!” Xu Yue nodded and said, “The fire-attribute spiritual energy contained inside is very concentrated. This bead must have only recently appeared. Did they say how they obtained it?”

"I bought it with money," Yan Tian said. "I initially bought it as a rare stone to collect. The sellers didn't know where it came from."

Xu Yue only asked the question; he wasn't particularly interested in where the item came from.

One is enough.

"The Divine Court has a Water Spirit Pearl?" Yan Tian said. "So now the only thing missing is the Golden Spirit Pearl? Where is the Golden Spirit Pearl usually found alone?"

"A gold mine," Xu Yue said. "All metal veins have a certain probability, but gold mines are more likely."

"Ok!"

Yan Tian nodded without saying anything more.

His main purpose in coming this time was to deliver the Fire Spirit Orb to Xu Yue.

"How are your students doing with their practical training?" Yan Tian asked casually. "Are any of them able to graduate next year?"

"It's hard to say," Xu Yue said. "However, I don't plan to let them graduate next year. At most, I'll let them do an internship."

There is naturally a difference between practical experience and internship.

When will I graduate?
That's naturally up to Principal Xu Yue.

Although the Special Administration Bureau was one of the initiators of that school.

Besides, those students hadn't been learning for very long.

Xu Yue still leads everything at the Agricultural Science and Technology College.

He is the core of the entire student body.

Xu Yue, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and the Special State Administration Bureau collaborated, but their roles differed.

Xu Yue was in charge of teaching, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was in charge of research, and the Special Administration Bureau was mainly responsible for security.

"I heard Ning Yun almost died while refining a spirit pearl?"

Yan Tian asked.

Xu Yue once mentioned that refining spirit pearls below the fourth realm carries great risks.

“He was lucky,” Xu Yue said. “The refining of that spirit pearl was highly compatible with the Yin-Yang School’s cultivation method; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been as simple as just suffering a severe injury.”

“He’s really lucky,” Yan Tian said. “Should we spread the news about this? After all, your collection of spirit pearls has attracted the attention of the entire cultivation world. Many people who get them will probably try to do the same as Ning Yun.”

The outcome of the attempt has no impact on Xu Yue.

But that spirit pearl will probably be destroyed.

After absorbing someone else's internal energy, magical power, or spiritual energy, one inevitably bears the imprint of that person.

To put it bluntly, it has been polluted and is no longer pure.

It's hard to say whether others can still use it.

"Whatever you want," Xu Yue said. "These kinds of spirit orbs have appeared before, haven't they? Has no one thought about refining them?"

“There wasn’t one before,” Yan Tian said. “Most people used it to aid their cultivation. The one on Qiyun Mountain should have been used to assist in cultivation. But now there should be one.”

Got it?

There were other people besides Xu Yue.

Xu Yue's collection of spirit pearls attracted attention, and naturally, people became curious and began to explore and study them.

"Didn't Director Yan consider refining it?"

Xu Yue looked at Yan Tian and asked with a smile.

“I have thought about it, but I haven’t,” Yan Tian said. “Besides, I’m a martial arts cultivator, so I don’t rely on things like spirit pearls much.”

Martial arts practitioners are indeed inferior to spiritual practitioners in terms of magical artifacts.

Weapons are often more useful than magical artifacts.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue simply smiled and remained noncommittal.

Yan Tian didn't linger, and Xu Yue also prepared to refine the Fire Spirit Pearl.

"The five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Will there be any conflicts when refining the Fire Spirit Orb?"

Zhang Ruoxi raised her doubts.

Wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces metal, metal produces water, and water produces wood.

Wood overcomes Earth, Earth overcomes Water, Water overcomes Fire, Fire overcomes Metal, and Metal overcomes Wood.

"Wood counters earth, but the wood spirit orb and earth spirit orb in my body are not incompatible," Xu Yue said. "This should be related to the primordial energy in my body. It's really hard to say whether others can refine multiple spirit orbs."

"Compatibility is important?"

Zhang Ruoxi said thoughtfully, "Ning Yun gave them a lot of warnings this time."

“It should be very important,” Xu Yue said. “If it’s water-attribute true energy used to refine a fire spirit pearl, the result will be that water and fire are incompatible, leading to demonic possession.”

Zhang Ruoxi said nothing more.

Xu Yue certainly knows more about cultivation issues than she does.

Xu Yue inherited the farming family tradition, but he often had to figure things out as he went along.

Moreover, having cultivated to Xu Yue's level, even those from major sects would probably have to feel their way across the river by touching the stones.

Refining spirit orbs was a familiar process for Xu Yue, and he easily refined the fire spirit orb.

With the help of the Spirit Pearl, Xu Yue's cultivation advanced further.

The realm of the Five Realms of Primordial Spirit is becoming increasingly clear.

"Can you control the fire?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked about Xu Yue.

She had heard Xu Yue mention the wondrous uses of the Spirit Pearl, and she still had some anticipation for it.

"It's easier to use supernatural powers."

Xu Yue spoke.

The Fire Spirit Orb is similar to the previous Spirit Orbs, but its main benefit lies in enhancing fire-based magical abilities.

However, after refining the spirit pearl, one cannot immediately control earth or fire; ultimately, one still needs to practice and cultivate to achieve this.

Xu Yue's life returned to normal.

Having tasted the benefits of the spiritual pearls' nourishment, Xu Yue seemed to have become somewhat lax in his cultivation.

Even though the "Emperor Yan's Primordial Scripture" doesn't require him to cultivate it deliberately, it can operate on its own.

But its operating speed is both fast and slow.

Realizing this, Xu Yue reflected on his actions.

However, I didn't deliberately practice it.

Once you reach the fourth realm, you need to continue to cultivate diligently, but relying solely on diligent cultivation is not enough.

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

My third uncle's son has also turned one year old.

There was no big celebration; we just invited some relatives and friends.

Liu Feifei came back specifically for this.

Yes, I have indeed returned.

She had just left after filming there.

Xu Yue naturally did not object to the filming, and on the contrary, he made it very convenient for them.

Although Taoyuan Village and Yunwu Mountain Scenic Area no longer need the promotion of movies and television, it's still icing on the cake. Besides, since Liu Feifei approached Wang Yun, Xu Yue naturally couldn't refuse.

When will Sister Yurou make her comeback?

Liu Feifei asked about Wang Yun.

Now that the child is one year old, it's only natural for him to make a comeback.

Many female celebrities in the entertainment industry couldn't wait to return to work last night after giving birth, fearing that their popularity would fade if they stayed out too long.

"A comeback?" Wang Yun shook her head and said, "I'm used to my current life. Forget about a comeback."

Previously, Liu Feifei's film crew came here to shoot scenes, and Wang Yun made a cameo appearance in it.

The director also invited her to sing the theme song, but Wang Yun declined.

"Are you going to retire from the entertainment industry completely?"

Liu Feifei was somewhat surprised, after all, to reach the level of Wang Yun, the effort put into her comeback was immense.

Having finally reached the top, Wang Yun transitioned to capital, but then retired from the entertainment industry.

This was something she found hard to believe.

"Not really," Wang Yun said. "I still own shares in the company."

Upon hearing this, Liu Feifei was speechless.

“I really like my life now,” Wang Yun said with a smile. “Now that I’ve found the life I want, why would I want to go back to spending money?”

Liu Feifei remained silent.

She naturally knew what kind of life Wang Yun was living now.

However, everyone has their own desired life.

She just felt that Wang Yun had such great talent and had finally succeeded, yet she just gave up like that.

Having grown accustomed to the dazzling life on stage, how easy is it to return to a simpler life?

How many people are willing?

Wang Yun actually agreed.

Is this the power of love?

Liu Feifei couldn't help but look at Zhang Ruoxi again.

This rich girl came to the countryside for Xu Yue.

At that time, Taoyuan Village was just an ordinary village, and even quite backward, with bumpy roads.

What was her motivation?
Why didn't Lu Zhenyu come today?

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xiong Yan and asked.

At this point, Xiong Yan's belly was already quite noticeable.

"He's busy," Xiong Yan said. "It seems there's a shipment that requires him to go there in person."

Lu Zhenyu's family business is growing bigger and bigger, and he is being groomed by his family to be their successor.

I'm definitely busier than before.

Being busy isn't a bad thing.

Xu Jianglin spoke, holding Xiong Yong's child in her arms.

"Where's Xiaoyue?"

Xu Jianglin then looked at Zhang Ruoxi and asked.

Xu Yue is now the focus of their entire family.

Having not seen him, Xu Jianglin was naturally curious.

“He went to the company,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “It seems Tian Yizhi wanted to see him about something.”

When Tian Yizhi needs to see Xu Yue, he usually goes to Xu Yue's place himself instead of calling Xu Yue to come over.

This time is a little different!

"That's it?"

Over at the Taoyuan Farm office area, Xu Yue looked at Tian Yizhi and couldn't help but say something.

"Yup!"

Tian Yizi nodded.

"Why didn't you just decide for yourself? Why did you call me over? Don't you know my cousin is turning one year old today?" Xu Yue said. "I was completely confused by what I heard earlier."

My cousin is turning one year old?
Your son and daughter have already turned one year old, haven't they?

However, Tian Yizhi reacted instantly.

Isn't Xu Jianghe's son Xu Yue's cousin?
"I didn't understand, did I?" Tian Yizhi said. "After all, it's a national project, and they came knocking on our door again."

"You don't understand, yet you want to get involved?" Xu Yue said. "I don't understand high-speed rail either!"

“They’re not asking us to build it!” Tian Yizhi said. “They’re building a high-speed railway in the desert and need our cooperation in desert management.”

“If the desert is controlled, then it’s still called a desert high-speed railway?” Xu Yue said. “Besides, I don’t know anything about desert control.”

The country is going to build a high-speed railway that runs through the desert.

This time it's not for repairs overseas.

"China Railway should have the experience and technology to build a high-speed railway in the desert, right?" Xu Yue continued, "Why are you asking us farmers?"

"It's about saving costs," Tian Yizhi said. "They want to combine this with desertification control. They'll build a high-speed railway while simultaneously managing the desert. If it really works out, they'll be rolling in related projects."

Cost savings?

Xu Yue's lips twitched; indeed, costs should be saved.

Previously, they built a high-speed rail for a major client in the Middle East, but after several years of work, they lost billions of dollars.

Some say it was a huge loss, while others say it was worth it.

Different people have different opinions.

But this would definitely not work in China.

"Why don't you ask the relevant experts at the desert management company?" Xu Yue said. "However, compared to building a high-speed railway and doing greening at the same time, I prefer to build a highway and do greening at the same time."

Why?

High-speed trains can't stop on the road, but cars can.

"Turning a high-speed rail line into a highway?" Tian Yizhi laughed. "We don't have that kind of ability."

Xu Yue was speechless.

"Just have someone research it," Xu Yue said. "Making money or not doesn't matter, just don't lose money."

Would you do it even if it didn't make money?
Tian Yizhi naturally understood Xu Yue's meaning and nodded.

They didn't make any money, but at least some of them earned wages.

Xu Yue returned just in time for his younger cousin's first birthday celebration.

There are many symbolic objects in front of me, each representing a different meaning.

At one year old, she can walk again.

The younger cousin shuffled over, grabbed a hundred-yuan bill, and walked back, handing it to Wang Yun while mumbling "money, money, money," which immediately drew laughter from everyone.

There is a way to make money!
Xu Yue laughed along with him.

What did their child take?
The older sister took a steamed bun, while the younger brother took a hoe, seemingly wanting to follow in his father's footsteps.

After the baby's first birthday celebration, it was time for dinner.

Lunch was naturally very lavish.

"How is Ning Yun recovering?"

After finishing his meal, Xu Chengyang was about to return to school when Xu Yue casually asked him a question.

"almost."

Xu Chengyang was Ning Yun's attending physician, so he naturally knew about her condition.

Xu Yue nodded without asking any further questions.

Xu Chengyang didn't stay long either.

He still prefers to spend time with Xu Zixu and the others doing research.

"cousin!"

Xiong Yan suddenly walked over and handed the phone to her.

"Is this the spirit orb you wanted?" Xiong Yan continued, "He was a little unsure."

“It looks somewhat like it, but with only a picture, it’s hard to be sure,” Xu Yue said. “I’ll have Zhenyu take a picture of it for me.”

The bead was once aquamarine blue, somewhat resembling the Water Spirit Bead of the Divine Court.

It's just bigger and a bit darker in color.

Are there any limits?

Xiong Yan asked.

At an auction, items naturally go to the highest bidder.

"Need not."

Xu Yue shook his head; he wasn't short of money.

Yanjing wouldn't hesitate to spend hundreds of millions; if it really is the Water Spirit Pearl, then it's well worth the price.

"Aren't you afraid of being set up?" Xiong Yan couldn't help but say. "Don't blame us if you buy it and find it's not what you wanted."
