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

Chapter 422 Do I Look Like a Fool to You?

Aside from his lineage in Peach Blossom Village, Ning Yun is probably the only one who can cultivate Qi.

Unexpectedly, another one has appeared now.

Xu Yue guessed that she was a descendant of a medical family not only because her body smelled of medicine and her true qi were compatible, but also because she was asking for medicine.

Why do you need medicine?

It's probably not for healing illnesses or injuries, but rather for cultivation.

Ning Yun also inherited some medical knowledge, but it was mostly about treating illnesses and injuries, rather than cultivation methods.

This person must have obtained a cultivation method.

Does a physician need to rely on medicine to cultivate their skills?

Elixir is undoubtedly the best.

The place with the most spiritual herbs is undoubtedly Peach Blossom Village.

This person is probably not from the cultivation world, but rather someone who became a monk later in life.

That's why they approached Taoyuan Pharmaceutical.

It's highly likely that they found it through the drugs that Taoyuan Pharmaceutical has listed on the market.

"Are you referring to the medical school from the Hundred Schools of Thought?" Sun Sisi asked. "If so, then I don't know if that's the case. To be more precise, I inherited the legacy of the Medicine King."

"Sun Simiao, the Medicine King?" Xu Yue asked, and seeing him nod, he said, "Interesting."

Was Sun Simiao a physician?

I don't know how to categorize this.

Perhaps so, after all, Sun Simiao is remembered in history for his medical skills.

He travels as a Taoist priest, and if you say he is a Taoist, I don't think anyone would disagree.

Of course, many Taoists know medicine, and there are quite a few Taoist doctors in schools.

Even those who practice medicine can cultivate Taoism.

After Dong Zhongshu, the distinctions between the various schools of thought became less clear.

"Ok?"

Sun Sisi looked at Xu Yue with a puzzled expression.

She naturally knew who the person in front of her was.

She sought medicine from the wrong place and the wrong person.

The elixirs used in Taoyuan Pharmaceutical are all supplied by Taoyuan Farm.

However, her skills seemed to be of little use to Taoyuan Farm, but were extremely useful to Taoyuan Pharmaceutical.

"I'm quite curious, do you practice the methods of medicine or the methods of Taoism?"

Xu Yue couldn't help but ask.

“I’ve learned the methods of medicine, so I need potent medicine to aid my cultivation,” Sun Sisi said. “I can help you. My medical skills are quite good.”

"How good is it?" Xu Yue asked with a smile. "How does it compare to Grandpa Xu Zixu?"

Sun Sisi looked embarrassed.

She is a self-taught professional, and is still exploring many things.

She didn't study medicine in college at all.

To put it bluntly, she doesn't even have a medical license, and she can't even pass the exam.

"I'll provide you with medicinal herbs, and you'll work for me?" Xu Yue looked at Sun Sisi and said with a smile, "Are you sure?"

"May I?"

Sun Sisi quickly asked, her expression suggesting a possible discussion.

Cultivation requires highly spiritual medicinal herbs, and Peach Blossom Village has an abundance of these.

If we don't look for Peach Blossom Village, are we supposed to go deep into the mountains to dig for it ourselves?
“Sure!” Xu Yue said. “Let’s go, there’s a place that should suit you.”

Xu Miao didn't say anything; he naturally knew what place Xu Yue was referring to.

That's why he sought out Xu Yue.

He felt the same way.

It's troublesome for him to even get into that place, let alone send someone in.

But Xu Yue is different.

He can come in whenever he wants, and sending someone in is just a matter of a word.

"Ah? Oh!"

Sun Sisi responded in surprise, glanced at Xu Miao, and then followed Xu Yue out.

"Where are you going?"

Once in Xu Yue's car, Sun Sisi couldn't help but ask.

"You'll find out when you get there," Xu Yue said. "Do you think I'd sell you out?"

Sun Sisi gave an awkward smile.

Taoyuan Pharmaceutical is not far from the college, and we arrived quickly.

"Where is this?" Sun Sisi asked. "School?"

“Yes!” Xu Yue said, “However, this school is a little different. From now on, you will work here. Of course, I won’t ask you to teach students, and you wouldn’t be able to anyway.”

"What does this school teach?" Sun Sisi asked. "I graduated from a 985 university."

"Teach farming!"

Xu Yue said with a smile.

"Teach what? Farming?"

Sun Sisi looked at Xu Yue, her eyes seeming to say: Do I look like an idiot to you? You're trying to fool me like this?

"We also teach planting and animal husbandry," Xu Yue said. "This school is called the Agricultural Science and Technology College, which I co-founded with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Special Management Bureau."

"The Academy of Agricultural Sciences?" Sun Sisi asked. "What kind of bureau is the Special Administration Bureau?"

“Special Affairs Administration Bureau,” Xu Yue said, “a department targeting cultivators. This school mainly teaches farming techniques.”

"Then what am I doing here?" Sun Sisi asked, puzzled. "To be a school doctor?"

“This school has quite a few research institutes,” Xu Yue said. “You’ll naturally be involved in medical research here. My grandfather, my Taoist priest, and many other traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are researching elixirs. The ones that Taoyuan Pharmaceutical put on the market are actually just scraps; most of them aren’t sold to the public.”

"Is that something I can access?"

Sun Sisi felt like she had heard something she shouldn't have.

“That’s a perfect match for your major,” Xu Yue said. “Sun Simiao is known as the King of Medicine, so you should know how to refine pills, right? Don’t worry, if you succeed in developing it, you’ll get a share of the profits.”

It seems to make sense.

"You must be a self-taught practitioner, right?" Xu Yue said. "There are many renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctors in the research institute who should be of great help to you. In addition, there are also many practitioners who should be of help to you as well."

Sun Sisi fell silent.

She couldn't argue.

Cultivation not only requires the assistance of spiritual medicine, but also a deep understanding of medicine.

She was completely self-taught before.

Cultivation is like crossing a river by feeling for stones; many things are only partially understood.

Sometimes, a single sentence from someone can set the stage for a decision that she herself ponders for a month or even longer.

"The key is that the research institute has a lot of medicinal herbs," Xu Yue said with a smile. "Of course, if you use too many for cultivation, the excess will be deducted from your salary or share of the profits! Is that alright?"

"no problem."

Sun Sisi quickly shook her head.

I have to admit, this is indeed the best place for me.

It's perfect for learning, cultivating skills, and making money all at once.

Does it include meals and accommodation?

Sun Sisi asked.

She had only been out of school for less than two years, and she had squandered all the money she had saved.

If she had no other choice, she wouldn't have turned to Taoyuan Pharmaceutical.

She also wanted to use her medical skills to earn money while continuing her training.

Unfortunately, she encountered a bad person. She cured the person, but not only did the doctor refuse to pay her, he also sued her.

She doesn't have a Xingyi qualification certificate.

I almost got arrested because of this.

Making money based on your university major?
What can you do with that little salary?
"Hungry? It seems like it's lunchtime." Xu Yue smiled and said, "Then I'll take you to the cafeteria first. The school has dormitories, and I'll have someone arrange a faculty apartment for you later. The school cafeteria is free."

This can be considered as including meals and accommodation.

The faculty and staff apartments are fine, but she doesn't want to live in the company dormitory anymore.

But the school cafeteria?
Is that something a human could eat?
She really didn't want to eat at the school cafeteria anymore.

However, it's good enough to have something to eat.

She doesn't have the luxury of being picky now.

When I have money in the future, I'll eat out every day.

There were already some people in the cafeteria, as some had arrived early to avoid having to queue during peak hours.

"Delicious! So delicious! Is this food made in the cafeteria?"

Sun Sisi's eyes lit up immediately after taking a bite. Compared to the food in the cafeteria, her old university cafeteria was like pig swill.

It's worse than pig feed.

"Eat slowly, no one will take it from you," Xu Yue said. "You can ask for more if you're not full, just don't waste it. All these things come from Taoyuan Village, so the taste is naturally excellent."

"The finest cuisine of Peach Blossom Village?" Sun Sisi asked Xu Yue, "Free?"

What a big deal!

This isn't just for the researchers; it's also for the students at the school.

The students at this school are so lucky.

Xu Yue nodded, and seeing that someone else was entering the cafeteria, he looked up and saw that it was Xu Chengyang and his group. He then greeted them.

"What brings you to school?"

Xu Chengyang sat down next to Xu Yue with the food in his bowl and asked casually.

Xu Zixu and the others also took their seats next to him.

Xu Yue's greeting to him just now had a clear meaning.

"I brought someone with me," Xu Yue said with a smile. "Sun Sisi came to Taoyuan Pharmaceutical to look for a job, so I brought her here. Old Xu, please give her some pointers when you have time. She is the inheritor of the Medicine King, but there are some things she doesn't quite understand yet."

"This is Elder Xu Zixu, a leading figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. This is my grandfather, Xu Chengyang. This is Ning Yun, a descendant of the Yin-Yang School, who has also inherited some medical knowledge, but he practices the methods of the Yin-Yang School."

As he spoke, Xu Yue introduced other people to Sun Sisi.

Ning Yun is no longer skin and bones, but she is still much thinner than when we first met.

However, her spirits have improved considerably.

"The successor of the Medicine King?"

Xu Chengyang and the others were immediately surprised upon hearing this.

Especially Xu Zixu.

As for Xu Chengyang, Ning Yun, and other cultivators, they were surprised but also somewhat enlightened.

They could naturally see some of the situation regarding Sun Sisi.

interesting!
"If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me," Xu Chengyang said, "whether it's about medicine or cultivation."

"OK, thanks!"

Sun Sisi quickly replied with a smile.

Although she didn't know them very well, they were full of goodwill, so how could she refuse?

Then the students started arriving.

"Be careful not to gain weight. You'll have plenty to eat every day from now on, is it really necessary?"

Xu Yue was speechless when he saw Sun Sisi, who was eating until her belly was round and full.

Shouldn't girls be more reserved?

"Ignore him," Xu Chengyang said. "These things are also beneficial to cultivation. Look at the others, have any of them gained weight?"

Sun Sisi subconsciously glanced around the cafeteria and, to her surprise, there weren't any fat people there, which immediately put her at ease.

Does it mean that cultivators don't gain weight?

If that's the case, then just thinking about it makes me feel good.

"I've given you the person," Xu Yue said. "I'm going back now."

Xu Chengyang waved his hand, signaling him to get lost.

Xu Yue had just left the cafeteria and hadn't gone far when Ning Yun quickly caught up with him.

"A breakthrough?"

Xu Yue glanced at Ning Yun and asked with a smile.

It's only a matter of time before Ning Yun enters the third realm.

However, judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to have received any feedback from the Yin-Yang Spirit Pearl.

This is a plan to seize the opportunity, use the Spirit Pearl to refute the previous statement, and go further after entering the third realm.

"It's almost done, it should be soon."

Ning Yun said with a smile.

"Are the resources enough?" Xu Yue asked. "If not, you can talk to my grandfather or my third uncle. I've already spoken to them."

“That’s enough,” Ning Yun said. “Grandpa Xu gave me two more bottles of Vitality Pills earlier.”

Xu Yue nodded, but then looked at Ning Yun with a puzzled expression.

Why is this guy chasing after me?

"wait for me a while."

Ning Yun walked towards the car not far away as she spoke.

That's his car.

A moment later, he took a bag out of the car.

Xu Yue was very familiar with that bag.

Although the shape and pattern were different, Xu Yue recognized it at a glance as a container for wedding invitations.

Is this guy getting married?
"Getting married?" Xu Yue smiled as he took the bag and asked, "Where are you planning to hold it?"

"Can Taoyuan Village offer a discount?"

Ning Yun asked with a smile.

He's actually quite wealthy now.

Because he was already receiving a cut from the pharmaceutical company.

“It’s an internal price,” Xu Yue said. “Do you expect me to charge you a higher price? You can negotiate the number of tables and price range yourself when you arrive.”

"Huh?" Xu Yue glanced at the wedding invitation and said, "Why so soon?"

The wedding banquet was only a month away.

These wedding invitations are usually sent out well in advance.

After all, Qin Qing is from out of town and her family is quite wealthy, so it will take time to make arrangements for her relatives and friends.

Ning Yun was slightly embarrassed.

"Marriage due to pregnancy?"

Seeing Ning Yun's expression, Xu Yue couldn't help but smile and ask a question.

"That explains it," Xu Yue said with a smile. "Actually, quite a few people get married while heavily pregnant."

Ning Yun rolled her eyes.

Who would willingly take on the burden if they could avoid it?

He doesn't care, but he has to consider Qin Qing.

Their family has a lot to do with their reputation.

Ning Yun is actually someone who hates trouble.

If it were up to him, why bother with a wedding? He'd just live his life on his own.

As long as you're happy.

Having a destination wedding with your wife and enjoying time together is much better than running around organizing a traditional wedding where someone is always dissatisfied and has something to say.

But people shouldn't be so selfish.

Ning Yun didn't care, and neither did his family.

Qin Qing will definitely support him, but what about his parents?

Her parents are both business people.

Business people care more about their reputation than the average person.

If he, as the son-in-law, doesn't step up, how can things get done?

This is why Taoyuan Village was chosen as the wedding location well in advance.

Even if he doesn't know if there will be any discounts, or how much of a discount there will be.

Holding a wedding in Taoyuan Village would definitely be a prestigious event.

This wedding was more about saving face for his father-in-law.

Because of the wedding, his father-in-law's business partners will definitely be invited.

"Alright, let's go back," Xu Yue said. "I'll definitely be there by then."

After Xu Yue finished speaking, he drove back.

"Would you like something else to eat?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked about Xu Yue.

Xu Yue naturally informed his family beforehand that he wouldn't be coming home for dinner.

The school supplies are good, but they can't compare to what we have at home.

"No need," Xu Yue said, handing the wedding invitation to Zhang Ruoxi. "There's a wedding banquet at the end of the year. Guess who it is?"

"Could it be Wang Haolin and Yin Xue's?"

Zhang Ruoxi smiled and said, "Xu Jianghe's little cousin is turning one year old. Wang Haolin didn't come because he went on another blind date with Yin Xue."

The most accurate word should be "date".

"Oh, no, that's not it." Xu Yue paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's Ning Yun's."
