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

Chapter 426 This time it's a bit troublesome

Xu Yue wasn't particularly enthusiastic about buying property.

He's usually free and spends most of his time in Taoyuan Village.

Those properties were bought, but people rarely lived in them, or even never lived in them at all.

Where should I put it to appreciate in value?
He has no need to speculate on real estate now.

Tian Yizhi went to talk to Tie Fumin, and Xu Yue didn't ask any further questions.

Even if an agreement is reached, construction won't be completed in a short time.

With the Spring Festival approaching, Xu Yue found himself with more free time.

The internship has ended, and the trainees are now summarizing their experiences at the school.

Xu Yue didn't have much to do, except for going to school occasionally.

"I heard your farm is collaborating with Rongzhou Group to develop a high-end villa area?"

Yan Tian arrived and immediately asked about Xu Yue.

"Does Director Yan have any ideas?"

Xu Yue nodded and asked with a smile, because Yan Tian had previously approached Xu Yue, wanting him to set up an array in Yanjing.

However, Xu Yue refused.

As an ancient capital, Yanjing still retains many ancient formations.

Xu Yue dared not act rashly, otherwise, if it affected or activated certain major formations, things would get really messy.

"It's not easy to set up a formation in Yanjing City, so what about outside the city?" Yan Tian asked. "If it's feasible, the higher-ups are thinking of building a sanatorium."

“Of course, no problem, but the effect will depend on the environment,” Xu Yue said. “Actually, it’s not impossible in the city, as long as it’s not the old city area, it should be fine. However, I can’t guarantee the effect in the city. You know how big the difference is between the spiritual energy in the city and the spiritual energy in the mountains.”

"About the sanatorium?"

Yan Tian then asked.

Taoyuan Village has a perfect environment for recuperation; just look at Zhang Ruoxi's grandparents and maternal grandparents to know that.

After settling down in Taoyuan Village, his health improved more and more.

Of course, this is also related to what they eat.

However, the environment of Taoyuan Village must also play a very important role.

"I'll have Guo Tianyou or Liu Chengji go to Yanjing to take a look at the land later," Xu Yue said. "Since you've asked, I can't refuse."

"Many of our predecessors not only made outstanding contributions to the country, but are also a treasure to the nation."

Xu Yue nodded, clearly agreeing with Yan Tian's words.

"I have some news that you might be interested in," Yan Tian said. "There's an auction in Hong Kong that seems to be auctioning something similar to the Golden Spirit Pearl."

"similar?"

Xu Yue frowned; this was uncertain.

"Most likely," Yan Tian said. "Once this news spreads throughout the martial arts world, it will probably attract a lot of attention from various martial arts factions."

"When?"

Xu Yue asked.

“One week from now,” Yan Tian said. “If you go, take more people with you.”

Xu Yue nodded.

Going?

Why not go?

If it truly is the Golden Spirit Pearl, then it is not to be missed.

"If that's the case, can the auction house hold out?"

Xu Yue asked a question.

With so many powerful figures in the underworld attracting attention, not everyone will abide by the rules.

Even though many underworld forces are quite wealthy.

If you can get it without spending money, why spend money?
“The auction house is quite powerful, and their security should be very good,” Yan Tian said. “Perhaps some powerful forces could steal from it, but it’s not worth it.”

Xu Yue nodded.

If it is indeed stolen or robbed, then the other party must also confront the auction house and the security forces.

Those who have the ability don't need to do it, because they have the money.

Those who lack the ability won't be able to do it even if they wanted to.

It's actually hard to say how much the Golden Spirit Pearl is worth.

The only reference point is probably the Water Spirit Pearl that Xu Yue had someone buy away before.

It's only around thirty million.

For some powerful cultivation forces, this is nothing at all.

Not long after Yan Tian left, Liu Chengji approached Xu Yue and mentioned the Hong Kong auction to him.

Xu Yue didn't follow the martial arts world closely, but Liu Chengji was a seasoned veteran and naturally had his own sources of information.

After all, it's no secret, and the organizers are promoting it extensively.

“Director Yan already told me this before,” Xu Yue said. “If you’re interested, you can come to Hong Kong with me then.”

"it is good!"

Liu Chengji nodded.

The auction wasn't just for the Golden Spirit Pearl; there were other items as well.

Perhaps there are things that interest him.

This auction is specifically for the cultivation world.

Xu Yue naturally couldn't take Liu Chengji with him on this trip to Hong Kong alone.

"To Hong Kong?"

Xu Jianghe looked at Xu Yue with some surprise.

"I should be able to return before New Year's Eve," Xu Yue said. "Director Yan said that the Golden Spirit Pearl might appear at the auction over there. This auction is probably aimed at the cultivation world."

Such auctions have always existed.

Xu Yue and the others didn't pay much attention to it.

Of course, this auction is much larger in scale and much more impressive than previous ones.

"When to set off?"

Xu Jianghe asked.

Since Xu Yue had spoken, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Next Friday.

Xu Yue spoke.

The auction is on Saturday; you can go a day in advance.

As for when I'll be back, that depends on whether things go smoothly.

"You don't think it will go that smoothly?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "Did you even call your third uncle?"

One person from the Four Realms isn't enough; they have to call for another one. How little confidence do they have?

"If we can deter them, that would be even better," Xu Yue said. "That way, we won't have to take action. It's better to avoid trouble."

“If you want to show off your strength, why not invite Li Zhuting along as well?” Zhang Ruoxi continued, “This auction would be a good opportunity.”

“I really hadn’t thought of that,” Xu Yue said. “But it seems like it could work. I’ll have Li Zhuting bring a few people with him.”

Lee Joo-ting is currently mainly responsible for security in Taoyuan Village, and also for training personnel.

Nowadays, Taoyuan Village is nothing special; the main focus is still on the academy area.

Lee Joo-ting taking some people away for a while had absolutely no impact.

Displaying one's strength in front of numerous forces might save a lot of trouble.

Xu Yue is someone who hates trouble.

He doesn't like the idea of ​​pretending to be weak to take advantage of others.

That's so boring.

Pretending to be weak while actually being strong may seem impressive, but it also means constant trouble.

Xu Yue preferred to directly display his strength and scare away those troublemakers.

Time flies.

Xu Yue and his group drove to Chengdu, from where they would fly to Hong Kong.

In addition to Xu Jianghe, Liu Chengji, and Li Zhuting who brought four second-realm experts, Ning Yun also accompanied them.

He wanted to see if there was anything he needed at the auction.

Guo Tianyou didn't go with them; he went to Yanjing to inspect land.

Guo Huai, needless to say, was still busy with water pollution control.

I expect to be busy before Lunar New Year's Eve.

However, the lineup for this trip is extremely strong.

Two fourth realms, three third realms, and four second realms.

"If I see something I want to buy, you'll have to lend me the money if I don't have enough."

On the plane, Ning Yun smiled and said to Xu Yue.

Is he rich?

That depends on who you're comparing yourself to.

He could easily come up with millions.

Too much is not good.

He was short of money and never thought of selling a protective jade amulet or anything like that.

If that stuff were to enter the market, aside from family and friends, it would obviously be bad. Whether it enters the market, and how much, is controlled by the Special Administration Bureau.

"No problem," Xu Yue said with a smile. "Will you charge interest?"

"How dare you!"

Ning Yun rolled his eyes. He knew that Xu Yue was joking with him.

Xu Yue didn't care about that small amount of interest.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Xu Yue said with a smile, as for whether Ning Yun had the ability to repay, he didn't care.

Is there?

Naturally there is.

Taoyuan Pharmaceutical has launched many new drugs, and Ningyun receives a share of the profits.

Some have just gone public, while others haven't even gone public yet.

"Be careful, or I might not pay back what I owe," Ning Yun said with a smile. "Don't forget, in this world, the one who owes money is the boss."

"You should have said that after you've borrowed the money."

Xu Yue smiled and said something that made Ning Yun smile even more.

Owes money and refuses to pay?

It was just a joke; he's not really refusing to pay it back.

Besides, if he really doesn't return it, Xu Yue probably won't care, and Xu Yue also has ways to get the money back.

For example, deducting wages or pharmaceutical company commissions.

Who do you think is the easiest person to borrow money from?

Ning Yun suddenly asked with a smile, but Xu Yue looked at him with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to continue.

He didn't mince words and continued speaking.

"People who owe money."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue shook his head.

"It's easiest for people who need loans to get loans, but it's not so easy for people who owe money to borrow money again."

Being in debt and being in debt to a bank are two different things.

"Pretty much," Ning Yun said. "I owe you so much, if you don't lend it to me, I might not pay you back."

Does Ning Yun owe Xu Yue anything?

Yes, I do owe it.

It's just that I don't owe money.

Last time I almost died, Xu Yue gave me a lot of resources and pills.

Ning Yun would never feel at ease thinking that those things were something he deserved.

It takes two to three hours to get from Chengdu to Hong Kong.

Soon the group exited Hong Kong Airport.

Are there Shu Xiang Ge and Yue Lai Hotel in Hong Kong?

After getting off the plane, Ning Yun asked.

“The Yue Lai Hotel has a branch in Hong Kong,” Xu Yue said. “The room is already booked. Look, the hotel staff have come to pick me up.”

Ning Yun looked in the direction indicated and saw someone holding a sign with Xu Yue's name on it not far away.

Ok?
Xu Yue greeted the hotel staff holding the sign, but then suddenly turned to look at something not far away.

A group of monks dressed in robes appeared not far away, and the leader of them turned out to be an acquaintance.

The man also saw Xu Yue, and then led a group of people over.

“Master Yongning, I never expected to see you here.”

Xu Yue greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Xu," Master Yongning said, "I suppose you've come for that spirit pearl as well?"

"Oh?" Xu Yue said with a smile, "Shaolin is also interested in that bead?"

How could I not be interested?

The Shaolin Golden Spirit Pearl has consumed a significant amount of spiritual energy, and it's unknown how much longer it can be used.

Now that a new one is available, it's naturally a must-have.

But when he saw Xu Yue, he felt a little uneasy.

Shaolin Temple is rich, but Xu Yue is rich too.

The key point is that Xu Yue has a large amount of working capital.

In terms of financial resources, Shaolin might not be able to compete.

Trouble.

"Shaolin is indeed interested."

Master Yongning naturally did not deny it.

If you deny something that everyone knows, you'll only make yourself a laughingstock.

See you at the auction.

Xu Yue smiled and nodded, then, led by a hotel employee, took the prepared car to the Yuelai Hotel.

The Yue Lai Hotel still enjoys a great reputation in Hong Kong.

This naturally also draws on the Peach Blossom Spring series.

"Mr. Xu, welcome to Hong Kong."

When Xu Yue and his group arrived at the Yuelai Hotel, the hotel manager personally greeted them at the entrance, showing Xu Yue great respect.

"Mr. Mai, you're too kind."

Xu Yue responded with a smile, accepted the other party's business card, and then returned to his room.

As for what you need to do, just ask him.
Xu Yue was just being polite when he said that.

Even if the hotel manager is from Hong Kong and may have some influence there.

But he probably can't get involved in matters of the cultivation world.

Mr. Mai escorted Xu Yue and his group to their room before taking his leave.

Xu Yue had only been resting in his room for a short while when someone knocked on the door.

"come in!"

Lee Joo-ting opened the door, and he clearly knew the person who knocked.

Before the door was even opened, Xu Yue already knew who it was.

"Have a seat!" Xu Yue looked at the newcomer and said, "What brings you to Hong Kong? Didn't your sister come with you?"

The visitor was none other than Zhao Zixu.

“This auction house has attracted not only domestic cultivation forces, but also foreign cultivation forces,” Zhao Zixu said. “China Guardian Auction House has a background with the Divine Court, while the security company it hired has a background with the Holy Knights.”

“My sister will be here soon. She’s gone to investigate some things with some people,” Zhao Zixu said. “I suspect that some foreign forces might take this opportunity to target you.”

"You're not suggesting that the Golden Spirit Pearl is bait, are you? Is there any information about whether it's real or not?" Xu Yue asked.

“It’s probably true, eight or nine out of ten times,” Zhao Zixu said. “As for whether it was a ploy to lure you to Hong Kong, I only have my suspicions.”

Why did they lure Xu Yue to Hong Kong?

Because there was absolutely no way to lure Xu Yue to any other place.

Previously, the Divine Court seemed to have tried to lure Xu Yue abroad with a Water Spirit Orb, but it failed.

Xu Yue frowned, then smiled.

“I’m in Hong Kong now, what can they do to me?” Xu Yue said with a smile. “As long as the bead is real, it’s worth taking some risks on this trip. Besides, this is our own territory.”

My own territory?
When did Taoyuan Village get involved in Hong Kong?

Moreover, Peach Blossom Village is not involved in matters of the martial arts world.

However, Zhao Zixu quickly realized what was happening.

Hong Kong belongs to China. When Xu Yue comes to Hong Kong, isn't he still in China?

in the country, isn't that like being on your own turf?

If Xu Yue is really in danger, not only the police, but also the Hong Kong Garrison might be mobilized.

Xu Yue carries that weight.

Perhaps without the police intervention, those people wouldn't be able to do anything to Xu Yue.

Xu Yue is a master of the fourth realm, and a top master among the four realms.

In addition, there was one person in the fourth realm and three people in the third realm who accompanied them.

There are many experts here.

Even if foreign forces such as the Divine Court and the Holy Knights were to unite, they might not be able to do anything to Xu Yue.

After all, it's impossible for all those people to come out in force.

The key question is whether the Special Administrative Region Authority will stand idly by?
Just as I was about to say something, someone else arrived.

The person who arrived was none other than Yan Tian, ​​the director of the Special Administration Bureau.

"What brings Director Yan here?" Xu Yue asked with a smile. "What, is there anything in this auction that your Special Administration Bureau is interested in?"

He didn't believe the Special Administration Bureau would compete with him for the Golden Spirit Pearl.

Of course, the latter part was mostly a joke.

He had some guesses as to why Yan Tian had come.

"This time it's a bit troublesome."

Yan Tian's words undoubtedly confirmed Xu Yue's guess.
