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

Chapter 423 A Pleasant Surprise

Chapter 423 A Pleasant Mistake?
Nowadays, more and more people are holding banquets in Taoyuan Village, but of course, not all of them are high-end banquets.

They also accept invitations to regular banquets.

Business is still pretty good.

"So urgent?"

As Zhang Ruoxi spoke, she took out the invitation and looked at it, somewhat surprised.

Qin Qing is from out of town, and both her parents are business people.

If it's a wedding, there won't be such a rush; invitations will definitely be sent out well in advance to give guests plenty of time.

“He has to be in a hurry,” Xu Yue said. “He doesn’t want Qin Qing to be heavily pregnant at the wedding ceremony.”

"A shotgun wedding!" Zhang Ruoxi said, "Was it before the injury?"

“After his injury, he probably wouldn’t have the ability anymore,” Xu Yue said with a smile. “Besides, the timing doesn’t match up.”

Zhang Ruoxi just smiled.

He forcibly refined the Yin-Yang Spirit Pearl and almost had his vital energy drained, losing his life. Even if he survived, he would be emaciated, like a candle flickering in the wind. How could he possibly still have sex?

Even if I had the will, I didn't have the ability.

Even if they had the ability, they probably wouldn't have the will.

However, this was just something the couple said casually.

"Oh, by the way, a descendant of the Medicine King came to Taoyuan Pharmaceutical today seeking medicine," Xu Yue said. "I took him to the academy."

“The Medicine King Sun Simiao?” Zhang Ruoxi said, “I’m afraid many others have received other inheritances, we just don’t know it. This world seems to be about to change.”

"Perhaps," Xu Yue said. "Perhaps lost inheritances have appeared from time to time in the past, but we just didn't know about them."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded and didn't continue the topic.

The possibility that Xu Yue mentioned is not nonexistent.

After all, they weren't part of the cultivation circle before and had no contact with it, so naturally they didn't know.

Actually, the person who knows the most about this is the one who turned off his phone.

Jing Guohua had actually mentioned it briefly before.

However, Xu Yue didn't mind. No matter how many inheritances appeared in the world, as long as he was strong enough, that was enough.

Today, Peach Blossom Village fears no cultivation forces.

This is true, at least domestically.

Xu Yue was about to say something when the phone rang.

Tian Yizhi's phone call.

"Someone sent something to the company that I think you might be interested in. Where are you? I'll bring it to you."

"Are you at the office? I'll come over."

Xu Yue thought for a moment and then spoke.

He had nothing to do, while Tian Yizhi was extremely busy.

"I'm going to the company."

Xu Yue then drove to the company.

"Let's see!"

When Tian Yizhi saw Xu Yuelai, he didn't waste any words and directly handed him a file folder.

Xu Yue took it out curiously and immediately his pupils contracted.

There are only a few pictures inside.

A picture of a golden globe. Also, a USB drive.

I borrowed the company computer to check, and it was just a video.

The video of that golden sphere.

The Golden Spirit Pearl?

Xu Yue squinted and fell into deep thought.

"There's also a business card inside with a phone number on it," Tian Yizhi said, seeing Xu Yue's silence. "This wouldn't happen to be the spirit pearl you're looking for, would it?"

"We'll only know if we see the real thing," Xu Yue said. "But it does look very similar."

Xu Yue picked up the business card and looked at it. It only had a phone number and no name.

He looked at the waybill on the document bag again, but there was no sender's address or name on it.

Even if it exists, it's probably fake.

interesting.

"gone!"

Xu Yue didn't stay at the company for long and soon got into his car and went home.

He didn't rush to make that call.

The other party told him in this way that he had a Golden Spirit Pearl, so the more anxious Xu Yue became, the more passive he became.

Do you want to?
There is no doubt about that.

With this Golden Spirit Pearl, Xu Yue will have gathered Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and it is very likely that he will break through the Fifth Realm in one fell swoop, condense his primordial spirit, and reach a height that no one has reached in hundreds of years.

But it's probably not that simple.

"Should we contact the Special Administration Bureau first before making this call?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "I feel like the other party's intentions are not pure."

“Why go through all that trouble? Just make a call and you’ll know,” Xu Yue shook his head and said. “There’s no need to bother the Special Administration Bureau with everything. Although I want that Golden Spirit Pearl, I’m not in a rush. I haven’t even figured out the uses of the spirit pearl I refined before.”

"If you don't gamble, you won't lose; if you're not greedy, you won't be fooled," Zhang Ruoxi said. "Be careful not to get trapped."

"I'm not stupid!"

Xu Yue didn't care.

So what if you actually fall for it?
Xu Yue is now very confident that he can protect himself even if he uses ordinary heavy weapons.

He is now using the Earth Spirit Orb to perform Earth Escape Technique, and his speed and range are generally ineffective against firearms.

Of course, Xu Yue wasn't stupid enough to jump into a trap knowing it was a pit; he just wanted to see if he could die from the fall.

Xu Yue picked up the business card and dialed the number.

"I am Xu Yue from Taoyuan Village, and I am very interested in the golden beads in the photo you sent me!"

Xu Yue dialed the number and got straight to the point.

"One hundred million!"

The other party was also straightforward and gave a direct quote.

“That’s too high,” Xu Yue said. “I bought a similar one at an auction before, but it was still far from 100 million. Besides, just photos and videos aren’t enough to confirm that it’s the one I want.”

"How much can you give?"

The other party was silent for a moment before asking a question.

"Twenty million!"

Xu Yue quoted a price.

This price is lower than the Water Spirit Orb I bought at the auction house before.

"impossible!"

The other party quickly refused, seemingly having more to say, but Xu Yue spoke up.

"That's it!"

Xu Yue then said something and hung up the phone.

The other party looked completely bewildered as they listened to the dial tone.

"Playing hard to get?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue with a smile.

"The other party may not necessarily want money."

Xu Yue shook his head. If he could really get it for 100 million, he wouldn't mind.

Of course, that's assuming it's truly a Golden Spirit Pearl.

"Mommy, play!"

Suddenly, the children's voices rang out. Although they were just over a year old and couldn't say many words, they were able to express some of their thoughts.

For example, let their mothers play with them.

The villa is on the third floor, and the space is very large.

Xu Yue built a small amusement park for them.

The two children also like to play inside.

Wang Yun often brings her child to play.

"Grandma will play with you, okay?"

Li Xiurong, who was standing next to her, asked.

"do not want!"

The two children quickly shook their heads and waved their hands, looking aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, Mommy will play with you," Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile. "How about Mommy plays with building blocks with you?"

"it is good!"

The two children smiled and said something.

"I'm going out."

Xu Yue said something, then took the package and left.

When I got to the door, I looked back and saw that the two kids had completely ignored me.

If Zhang Ruoxi leaves, she will probably either want to go with her or make a scene.

The fact that his child wasn't close to him left Xu Yue somewhat disappointed.

However, he did spend less time with the children than Zhang Ruoxi.

"Hey, you've come at just the right time."

When Xu Yue arrived at the camp, he saw Li Liang chatting with Xu Jianghe. He then smiled at Li Liang and handed him the package, asking him to check it. Li Liang did not refuse.

Is this a misuse of public resources?
Not really.

Since it concerns Xu Yue, it's not really a private matter.

Moreover, the sudden appearance of a golden spirit pearl happened to be exactly what Xu Yue wanted.

The fact that the other party did not come directly to the door, but instead did so in this way, inevitably arouses suspicion.

Just then, Xu Yue's phone rang; it was the same person calling back.

"Fifty million!"

When the call connected, the other party immediately quoted a price that was only half of what they had offered before.

“Alright!” Xu Yue nodded and said, “Bring the things to Peach Blossom Village. If it’s what I want, then it will cost fifty million.”

"Impossible. I couldn't possibly be taking anything to Peach Blossom Village."

"Why is it impossible? Do you think I'm going to rob you? It's only fifty million, it's not worth me breaking the law."

Xu Yue spoke, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, seemingly unsurprised.

Unwilling to come?
That probably means there's a problem.

"If you're buying my stuff, shouldn't you come to my store to show your sincerity?"

The other party spoke.

He naturally found it difficult to refute Xu Yue's previous words.

Fifty million is nothing to Xu Yue; he really has no reason to commit robbery for that amount of money.

"I'm busy, I don't have time. Besides, it's not me who wants to buy your things, it's you who wants to sell things to me."

Xu Yue didn't know where the other person was, nor did he want to know.

If the other party is after money, then he will definitely come.

If the other party isn't after money, then Xu Yue isn't in a hurry; he'll have the Special Administration Bureau investigate first.

“I can sell to someone else. You’re not the only option.”

The other party was silent for a moment, then spoke.

He clearly didn't want to come to Peach Blossom Village.

I wish you success.

Xu Yue smiled and said something, then hung up.

Sell it to someone else?
Then his buyer might resell it to Xu Yue.

Now, the entire cultivation world, including those abroad, knows that Xu Yue is collecting these kinds of beads.

This spirit pearl is helpful for cultivation, but it's clearly more cost-effective to sell it to Xu Yue.

Because Xu Yue has what they want.

"Fifty million? You really are something else."

Seeing Xu Yue hang up the phone and look over, Li Liang said something with mixed feelings, but he didn't know how to describe it.

"He initially asked for 100 million, and I countered with 20 million, but we couldn't reach an agreement."

Xu Yue said with a smile.

"He countered with another 50 million, and you readily agreed without haggling?" Li Liang said. "If we talk some more, we might be able to get a better price."

“I don’t need that much,” Xu Yue said. “Besides, the other party may not really be after money.”

Li Liang's lips twitched, but he had nothing to say.

For Xu Yue, tens of millions is indeed just "that little bit".

He had nothing to say.

"Just look it up and you'll find out."

Li Liang continued.

Why would they refuse to come to Peach Blossom Village and instead ask Xu Yue to come to their door?

That's a problem.

After all, the people from the Divine Court had previously tried to lure Xu Yue out of the country with a Water Spirit Orb.

A few days later, Li Liang returned to Taoyuan Village.

"You've got results so quickly?"

Xu Yue looked at Li Liang and couldn't help but ask, his face showing a hint of surprise.

He thought it would take a long time.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy, but after finding out, it all made sense," Li Liang said. "The fact that the other party didn't come to Taoyuan Village might be a little different from what you imagined."

What was Xu Yue thinking?

The other party's refusal to come to Taoyuan Village may be due to ulterior motives.

Is not it?

"That person doesn't come to Peach Blossom Village, probably because there's a special administration bureau inside."

Li Liang then added a sentence.

"Ok?"

Xu Yue looked at Li Liang with some surprise.

Taoyuan Village not only has a special administration bureau, but also military personnel.

He didn't come because of the Special Administration Bureau, so...
“That man is called Fan Benshan, a fugitive wanted by the Special Administration Bureau,” Li Liang said. “He is a third-level cultivator and comes from Shaolin Temple.”

"Wanted fugitive?"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised; it turned out to be for this reason.

"Have you found their whereabouts?"

Xu Yue asked.

If the person is in the hands of a wanted criminal, wouldn't it be easier to get the Golden Spirit Pearl if the criminal is arrested?
“We’re still investigating,” Li Liang said. “He’s been on the run for many years and is very vigilant. However, the trail hasn’t gone cold yet.”

"That phone is probably useless now, right?" Xu Yue saw Li Liang nod, and although he had already guessed it, he couldn't help but sigh and say, "What a pity."

If he had known this would happen, he really wouldn't have minded going.

"What did he do wrong?"

Xu Yue couldn't help but ask curiously.

A person wanted by the Special Administration Bureau has definitely committed a crime, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are a heinous criminal.

“Exterminate the entire family.”

Li Liang spoke first.

"An enemy?" Xu Yue asked, and seeing Li Liang nod, he said, "Are Buddhists so bloodthirsty?"

Li Liang didn't say anything more.

Let's nip it in the bud.

Fan Benshan wasn't a good person, but even if you say he was bad, he wouldn't go so far as to indiscriminately kill innocent people.

"Is he still in Shu Prefecture?" Xu Yue asked. "Should we have Uncle San go with you?"

"Alright!"

Li Liang nodded; he was indeed not confident he could catch the man.

Let alone catching him, whether he could even win a fight is another matter entirely.

His purpose in coming here was, in fact, partly to ask for help.

Xu Jianghe is now at the fourth realm, without Xu Yue needing to intervene.

Xu Jianghe is currently on secondment to the Special Administration Bureau.

Upon hearing Li Liang's purpose, Xu Jianghe did not hesitate. He immediately informed his family and then left with Li Liang.

This trip lasted for half a month.

"Finding people takes a lot of time," Xu Jianghe said, "but the things they find might not be what you want."

As he spoke, Xu Jianghe took out a golden sphere and handed it to Xu Yue.

"Gold-plated."

Seeing Xu Yue pick up the golden sphere and look at it, Xu Jianghe couldn't help but say something.

It does indeed look very similar to the photo.

"What a disappointment?" Xu Yue said with a laugh. "It really is the same one from the photos and videos. I have to say, the photographer is quite skilled. But something just doesn't feel right to me."

“Li Liang said the same thing,” Xu Jianghe said. “With so many spirit pearls, why would he specifically impersonate a golden spirit pearl? And how does he know what a golden spirit pearl looks like?”

What spirit pearl does Xu Yue want most right now?
That is undoubtedly the Golden Spirit Pearl!

Is this just a coincidence?
What a coincidence!

Fan Benshan is wanted by the authorities, so how could he possibly know anything about Xu Yue's situation?

"Are you saying the Golden Spirit Pearl is like this?"

Xu Yue suddenly asked.

"I suppose so," Xu Jianghe said. "You probably thought so too at first glance, didn't you?"

Xu Yue nodded.

The Earth Spirit Orb is earth-yellow in color.

Wood Spirit Pearl has a greenish tint.

The Water Spirit Orb is light blue.

The Fire Spirit Orb is fiery red.

Their appearances are basically similar.
