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

Chapter 427 Would I, Xu Yue, be a sucker?

Those people are still up to no good.

Why do they have to target Xu Yue?

Was Xu Yue just a farmer?

That's obviously not the case.

To put it bluntly, it's all about interests.

The reason why cultivation forces are eyeing Xu Yue is because Xu Yue can grow and raise countless resources needed for their cultivation.

What about those countries?
Clearly, they were attracted not only by Xu Yue's desert planting techniques, but also by his ability to create countless experts.

He can not only make soldiers stronger, but also enhance national power.

The technology that Xu Yue possessed was extremely appealing to them.

However, Xu Yue is not afraid at all in Hong Kong now.

As long as he doesn't resort to large-scale firearms, Xu Yue has the ability to protect himself.

If he can't win, and wants to run away, no one can stop him.

He has this confidence.

"How troublesome is it?" Xu Yue asked Yan Tian. "Did they bring a lot of experts, or did they prepare heavy firearms?"

"You're quite confident," Yan Tian said. "There are indeed quite a few experts here, and they may have some firearms, but they don't dare to bring large-scale firearms."

The use of large-scale thermal weapons changes the nature of the situation.

Other countries wouldn't dare, and neither would those foreign cultivation forces.

Once they use it, they can forget about doing business in the country, and they might even be labeled as terrorists.

That would be a huge loss.

They shouldn't be so desperate as to disregard everything when dealing with Xu Yue.

"Then it's not too troublesome," Xu Yue said. "Can you be sure that the bead is real?"

“Most of the domestic and foreign cultivation forces have arrived, so it shouldn’t be fake,” Yan Tian said. “If it were fake, neither the China Guardian Auction House nor the Divine Court behind it could withstand the wrath of all forces.”

Xu Yue nodded, feeling much more at ease.

Seeing Xu Yue's reaction, Yan Tian didn't say anything more. He could tell that Xu Yue didn't care about anything else, only about the Golden Dragon Pearl.

"Was that Golden Spirit Pearl obtained through wealth?"

Xu Yue continued to ask.

He was determined to win, and he wouldn't hesitate to spend hundreds of millions, but if he spent billions, he would be a sucker.

Xu Yue didn't want to be taken advantage of.

"The key is not in the auction house, but after the auction," Yan Tian said. "Not everyone is as wealthy as you. And not everyone is willing to spend this money."

"Then I'd like to see how they manage to snatch it from me."

Xu Yue said with a smile.

Wait for someone else to take a picture, and then go and steal or rob it yourself?

Xu Yue hadn't thought that way.

Why resort to force when money can solve the problem?

"Better be careful."

Yan Tian left after saying those words.

Shortly after he left, Zhao Ziyi arrived.

“The Divine Court, the Holy Knights, and the Sun God Alliance all have experts at the fourth level coming to Hong Kong,” Zhao Ziyi said. “The Hongmen and the Green Gang also have experts at the fourth level.”

"How many have come?"

Xu Yue asked a question, which surprised Zhao Ziyi.

"Only one person from the Fourth Realm has come openly," Zhao Ziyi said. "Whether there are others secretly, I don't know."

Xu Yue nodded.

He doesn't even know how many of the four realms he can fight right now.

However, at his level, the four realms are no longer a threat to him.

Let's get our hands on the Golden Spirit Pearl first.

"Go about your business."

Xu Yue said to Zhao Zixu and his sister that he didn't care at all what they were busy with.

As long as it can be used when needed and there are people using it, that's enough.

Xu Yue, however, doesn't seem to have needed to use the Zhao Zixu siblings' abilities yet.

Perhaps it will never be needed.

That doesn't matter.

What Xu Yue gave to Zhao Zixu and his sister was nothing at all.

It's also acceptable to place a random piece.

Xu Yue didn't take it seriously, but Li Zhuting became nervous.

His role on this trip was also to ensure Xu Yue's security.

"Don't worry." Xu Yue patted Li Zhuting on the shoulder and said with a smile, "If anything happens, you can both take care of yourselves."

Lee Joo-ting opened his mouth, but then hesitated to speak.

The employer simply told the bodyguard to take care of himself.

However, he couldn't refute it.

If something really happens, the one in danger isn't Xu Yue, but them.

Their level of understanding is considerably lower than Xu Yue's.

"Let's go back and rest," Xu Yue said. "It's a rare trip to Hong Kong, so let's go out and explore tomorrow. We should at least bring back some gifts, right?"

Li Zhuting nodded.

The auction is tomorrow night, so there will be plenty of time to visit during the day.

Since we're already here, it would be so boring to just stay in the hotel.

As for safety?

They weren't so scared that they wouldn't even dare to leave the hotel.

If that's the case, then it's better to go back to the mainland immediately.

That evening, Xu Yue and his group were about to go out for dinner when a voice suddenly rang out from not far away.

"Mr. Xu?"

The voice didn't seem very certain.

Xu Yue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar face.

"Yes, it is you!"

Xu Yue smiled and looked at the person next to him.

This is the person who brought the photos and videos of the Water Spirit Orb to Peach Blossom Village.

It is said to have a divine court background.

"I never expected Mr. Xu to come to Hong Kong."

The man seemed somewhat surprised, but in Xu Yue's eyes, it was just mediocre acting.

"I just can't easily go abroad," Xu Yue said. "Isn't being in Hong Kong also part of the country?"

The man smiled and nodded, but then noticed that Xu Yue's gaze was fixed on the person next to him, so he looked over as well.

However, the other party didn't say anything, just glanced at Xu Yue, and then walked away.

Those accompanying him quickly followed.

“There’s murderous intent in that person’s eyes,” Xu Jianghe said. “One is at the fourth realm, two are at the third realm, and the other hasn’t even entered the realm of cultivation. He’s not very impressive.”

“If they really wanted to attack me, they wouldn’t just have a few people,” Xu Yue said. “Let’s eat first.”

That group was just one of them.

While having a meal, Xu Yue encountered several groups of cultivators.

There are foreign ones and domestic ones.

Xu Yue was not surprised by this.

After all, the hotel in Hong Kong that is most attractive to those seeking spiritual practice is the Yue Lai Hotel.

Nothing happened that night, and the next day Xu Yue and his group strolled around Hong Kong and bought a lot of things.

That evening, Xu Yue and his group went to the auction house.

Antiques and artworks are generally auctioned during the day, and this is also true for religious artifacts.

The fact that it happened at night this time makes one wonder.

I ran into an acquaintance as soon as I entered the auction house.

Guangyue Hong Yuanhai and his son Hong Jiajun were standing next to Liu Shi'an and other members of the Liu family.

Liu Chengji frowned, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

He feared that Liu would take the opportunity to attack Xu Yue.

If so
I doubt it.

If something happens to Xu Yue, will the Liu family still have a foothold in the country?

Whoever in China makes a move against Xu Yue, the state will take action against them.

Especially when foreign cultivation forces attacked Xu Yue.

I found a seat and sat down, and people started arriving one after another.

Most of them are cultivation forces.

Everyone Liu Chengji knew would whisper to Xu Yue.

People from overseas Green Gang and Hongmen also came.

Both of these forces have cooperated with Xu Yue.

But to say they were very close wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Zhao Zixu and his sister also arrived, accompanied by several other people, including a second-realm expert.

However, to Xu Yue's surprise, no one from the Taoist sects such as Qingcheng, Longhu, Wudang, and Qiyun Mountain came.

I don't know if it's because they're not interested in these things, or if they don't want to get involved in this mess.

Many Buddhist monks have arrived.

Besides Shaolin, there's Mount Emei, and two other places whose origins I don't know.

It seems the Golden Spirit Pearl is very useful to Buddhism. It's a pity you didn't have the chance.

The auction began quickly, and the first item up for auction was surprisingly a bottle of Vitality Pills.

This surprised Xu Yue, and he exchanged a glance with Ning Yun, everything understood without a word.

It's obvious where this Vitality Pill came from.

It is definitely not Taoyuan Pharmaceutical.

The outside world has no idea where this pill comes from, let alone that it can now be mass-produced.

"Half a million!"

"one million!"

"One million and one million!"

A bottle of Vitality Pills, containing only ten pills, was ultimately sold for three million.

Three hundred thousand per piece?

This made Ning Yun's lips twitch.

He had to consume a lot of Vitality Pills and ginseng and other spiritual herbs to recover.

That would cost a fortune!

Is it high?

A little, but only a little.

The cost of a bottle of Vitality Pill is actually not low.

Of course, this is calculated using external prices.

After all, adding a century-old ginseng can fetch over a million, but it only costs 100,000 with Xu Yue, ten times less.

The main ingredient in the Vitality Pill is ginseng.

A bottle of Vitality Pill only costs tens of thousands of yuan after leaving Taoyuan Pharmaceutical.

Buying a property worth three million now would be worth dozens of times more.

This was true of ginseng in the past, and it is true of elixirs today.

Several types of pills from Taoyuan Pharmaceutical were then auctioned off.

Xu Yue and the others naturally had no interest in this.

Unbeknownst to many, Taoyuan Pharmaceutical's elixirs and protective jade talismans were also auctioned off.

Ning Yun's expression at this moment had an indescribable strangeness.

The protective jade amulets used to be handmade by Xu Yue, and because they were made in small quantities, they were naturally more valuable.

It's now in mass production. While its defensive capabilities may not be as good as Xu Yue's, they're not far off. At least it can withstand some of the most common firearms.

"Ten million!" Ning Yun exclaimed in shock. "That thing actually sold for ten million!"

In his eyes, that thing was something that was commonplace and easily found everywhere, yet it was so valuable.

The key was the method of making the protective jade talisman, which Xu Yue taught him so easily.

Even if the value is reduced significantly due to large quantities, the worth of a single item is still unimaginable.

Making a fortune is easy.

And what about Xu Yue?

It used to be almost always given away, and now it's always given away.

"Ten million is nothing. It could be a life. What's so surprising?"

Xu Yue shook his head, showing no surprise.

Previously, someone offered tens of millions to buy one.

If it hadn't been circulated so widely, its value wouldn't be only ten million.

"Rich people talk differently."

Ning Yun shook his head, gave a wry smile, and then dropped the subject.

Although the protective jade amulet was valuable, he never thought of making money off it.

He can't get involved in this matter.

Even though most of those protective jade talismans came from his hands.

Besides the items from Taoyuan Village being auctioned off, other things will also be included.

The number of ritual implements is also quite large.

However, those magical artifacts weren't very good, and Xu Yue wasn't interested in them.

If those are algorithms, then what Xu Yue refined is a magic weapon.

Moreover, it's a very powerful magical artifact.

Liu Chengji bid on an antique compass, spending over two million yuan.

Ning Yun spent over 200,000 yuan to purchase an ancient book on traditional Chinese medicine.

Xu Yue also photographed several items that interested him, including Buddhist ritual implements and ancient books.

There was also a meteorite from outer space.

It cost over ten million.

That was nothing to Xu Yue, of course.

The largest of these is that meteorite from outer space.

It seems that quite a few people are interested in that thing.

"Why did you buy that meteorite?" Ning Yun asked. "You're not planning to have it tested at the academy, are you?"

"Huh?" Xu Yue exclaimed in surprise, then smiled, "Your suggestion is good. Perhaps this meteorite is the main material for forging the flying sword."

Flying sword?

Ning Yun also knew that Xu Yue had obtained the method for forging flying swords from Wudang Mountain.

"Then I wish you success."

Ning Yun said with a smile that although he followed the Yin-Yang School, he was also very interested in flying swords.

Believe it or not, he actually did study it.

"I'll lend you some good words."

Xu Yue said with a smile, "Regardless of whether the extraterrestrial meteorite is useful or not, its role is still quite significant."

If all else fails, you could use it to forge a divine weapon for Xu Jianghe.

The auction continued, and many items were sold.

"The next item is the highlight of this auction: a mysterious golden jewel, its color a deep golden yellow."

The auctioneer introduced the Golden Spirit Pearl, while someone brought an exquisite gift box onto the stage.

Then the box was opened, a golden light flashed out, and then disappeared.

Xu Yue could tell that what had dissipated was golden spiritual energy.

"real!"

Xu Jianghe and Ning Yun spoke at the same time, while Liu Chengji and Li Zhuting nodded in agreement.

Xu Yue didn't say anything, but he could naturally tell.

The metallic spiritual energy contained in this Golden Spirit Pearl is definitely more concentrated than that of the one in Shaolin.

This can even be seen from the size and color.

"This item has a starting price of 20 million, and each bid must be at least 1 million higher!"

After introducing the spirit pearl, the auctioneer didn't waste any more words and immediately started the bidding.

The auctioneer's information was limited; it was unclear whether he only knew that much or was intentionally concealing information.

It should be the former.

This world is probably the one where Xu Yue understands the wondrous uses of the Spirit Pearl the most.

Even so, he still hasn't fully figured it out.

"Twenty-five million!"

"Twenty-seven million!"

"Fifty million!"

This was Xu Yue's suggestion, and he almost doubled the price.

This immediately quieted down the scene.

"Fifty million for the first time."

Seeing that no one in the audience was interested, the auctioneer began to speak, but before he could even urge people to raise the price, some people couldn't resist anymore.

"Sixty million!"

The Shaolin monks were the ones making the bid this time.

"Seventy million!"

This time, it's people from Mount Emei.

We had no choice but to accept; they were truly wealthy.

There's no way around it; tourism is so developed in both places that it's hard not to have money.

"One hundred million!"

Xu Yue made another offer.

They have money, but does Xu Yue not have money?

When it comes to money, Xu Yue is not afraid of anyone these days.

Shaolin and Emei stopped bidding, he could tell that Xu Yue was determined to win.

They had to consider whether it was worth offending Xu Yue.
