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

Chapter 435 Flying on a Sword is Dangerous

Zhang Ruoxi was quite confident in Xu Yue's abilities; she didn't believe anyone could be his match.

If this were in ancient times, it would be an invincible force.

But we live in the age of firearms.

There are multiple types of devastating firearms; how can humans possibly contend with them?

However, Zhang Ruoxi did not believe that the other party would use those weapons to deal with Xu Yue.

"Are you confident?" Xu Yue said. "As long as I know where the person is and catch them, it's not a big deal for me. The key is how to bring them back."

“That would require the support of the Special Administration Bureau,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “Zhao Zixu and his group probably don’t have that kind of influence overseas. The Hongmen and the Green Gang probably won’t get involved either.”

Does the Hongmen and Green Gang get involved?

That depends on whether the benefits are sufficient. If you try to justify it with things like national righteousness or kinship, the other party will most likely scoff at it.

“The Special Administration Bureau certainly won’t stand idly by,” Xu Yue said. “They will definitely cooperate fully. If I don’t take action, they will definitely find a way to get rid of those two.”

"Then why not kill them?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue. If she were to kill him directly, it would be an easy task for Xu Yue.

Bringing it back would increase the difficulty many times over.

“The warnings and deterrents are not enough,” Xu Yue said. “It’s probably hard to completely eliminate this kind of thing, and it will definitely happen again in the future, but bringing the people back can at least reduce the number of such incidents.”

Graduates of the Agricultural Technology College will certainly attract the attention of major global powers.

It's estimated that no faction is unwilling to poach talent.

Although Xu Yue offered high compensation and a contractual agreement, the temptation was too great for everyone to resist.

Xu Yue didn't expect them to be able to withstand it.

However, they must understand that people are responsible for their own actions.

“Schools can’t just teach skills,” Zhang Ruoxi continued. “The Agricultural Science and Technology College is different from other schools.”

Xu Yue nodded.

This is indeed an oversight on the part of the school.

After all, the first batch of students were mostly recommended, not directly recruited high school graduates.

Xu Yue also had no intention of recruiting college entrance examination graduates.

Even the top scorers in the college entrance examination might end up at the bottom of the list at the Agricultural Science and Technology College, while those who did averagely might become the most outstanding students.

The next day, Yan Tian arrived.

The fact that two graduating students went abroad clearly didn't attract the attention of higher authorities.

However, since Xu Yue is going to personally bring the person back, this matter has to be taken seriously.

While others failed to capture him, Xu Yue got himself into trouble, which would be a huge loss.

"Really go?"

Yan Tian asked.

"Can you bring him back?" Xu Yue said. "Even if you do, the price will probably be very high, won't it?"

Yan Tian remained silent; he couldn't refute those words.

They weren't even confident they could kill someone without paying a price.

That price is definitely not worth it.

After all, those two graduates might be able to replicate "Peach Blossom Village," but they could never pass on the agricultural skills to those foreigners.

Even if it's passed on, those people might not be able to learn it.

Without a solid foundation in Chinese culture, it would be impossible to learn this.

Just like the Taoist phrase "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands," even the translator doesn't know how to react.

Farmhouses also have many similar things.

"If the plane crashes, can we protect ourselves?" Yan Tian asked. "Plane crashes are not necessarily all due to plane malfunctions."

"It's hard to say," Xu Yue said. "But traveling by water shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Although Xu Yue can no longer fly, he can stay airborne for a short time, but not long enough to fall to his death.

But airplanes are at high altitudes, and there are too many variables.

If so.
Go back and ask how the analysis of that extraterrestrial meteorite is going.

If he could truly forge a flying sword, then even if the plane crashed, Xu Yue was confident he would survive.

However, traveling by water is obviously safer.

"By boat?"

Yan Tian nodded.

Although the sea is dangerous, it is obviously much better than the sky.

Xu Yue has a storage artifact, which can easily hold a small boat, food, and fresh water.

Even if something happens to the ship he's on, he can use this opportunity to wait for rescue.

"it should be no problem?"

Xu Yue nodded, then asked.

The key is that there must be a way to infiltrate the United States.

Xu Yue never even considered taking the proper route.

Should we take the right path?

While he was still in the air, the airport was probably already surrounded by enemies.

People will probably be "asked" to leave as soon as they get off the plane.

Even if that doesn't happen, it will inevitably be watched by countless people, which increases the difficulty.

Of course, you have to sneak into the village quietly and not fire a shot.

“No problem,” Yan Tian said. “But we need to make some arrangements. You should also prepare for two days.”

Xu Yue nodded.

That's settled then.

This kind of thing definitely can't be done on a whim.

What does Xu Yue need to prepare?
Zhang Ruoxi gave him many suggestions, even telling him to prepare two more storage artifacts.

Bring plenty of Taoyuan mineral water, as well as some food, and extra protective jade amulets.

Xu Yue simply smiled and nodded.

However, she then went to the school to find Li Ping.

"Dr. Li, have you detected the extraterrestrial meteorite?" Xu Yue asked directly. "How is it?"

"It's been detected," Li Ping said. "However, whether it's material for forging a flying sword is hard to say. After all, the name has changed. But you can try using this meteorite iron as the main material to forge one. I've also gathered some materials for you based on the Goujian Sword."

Previously, Xu Yue had consulted Li Ping about the materials needed to forge flying swords.

Unfortunately, the names of those materials were unfamiliar, and Li Ping consulted many documents but still couldn't figure them out.

However, Xu Yue suspected that Goujian's sword was a flying sword, so he asked him to gather the same materials.

The Goujian Sword had already been thoroughly examined, so Li Ping had no problem getting it.

He wanted to get the same material, which was no problem at all.

Besides, that's what Xu Yue wanted.

"Thank you," Xu Yue said with a smile. "I'll go back and give it a try. If I really succeed, then..."

so what?

The key is that extraterrestrial meteorites are not easy to find.

Moreover, not every piece of meteorite is necessarily the same.

"If you really succeed in refining it, that would be a breakthrough," Li Ping said with a smile. "Don't forget to let me study it when the time comes."

What are you researching?
That's naturally the flying sword that Xu Yue forged.

"no problem."

Xu Yue nodded, then took the things and went back.

Liu Guoxing wanted to talk to him, but Xu Yue refused.

He was preparing to seize the time to forge the flying sword.

If one can master this skill before going abroad, it will be a great help.

Xu Yue returned to Peach Blossom Village and went directly to the cultivation room in the laboratory.

He took out the magical artifact that Li Ping had prepared for him from his storage ring, and then began to refine it according to the method of refining flying swords.

Use earth fire to smelt materials, inscribe runes, and brand them.
Now that Xu Yue has condensed his primordial spirit, the crafting of magical artifacts is no longer about imprinting spiritual power, but rather about imprinting them with his primordial spirit.

This makes it easier to control the ritual implements.

This is also one of the wondrous uses of the primordial spirit.

Meteorite iron has an extremely high melting point, as do other materials; melting it is not something an ordinary person can do.

If Xu Yue hadn't reached the fifth realm, condensed his primordial spirit, and relied on the formation, he probably wouldn't have been able to do it.

After smelting, runes may be inscribed.

Inscribing runes requires immense spiritual power; otherwise, they cannot be formed. It is difficult to refine them without condensing one's primordial spirit.

Is the threshold for becoming a "sword immortal" in ancient times the fifth realm?
Probably!

The difficulty lies in the crafting process. Relying solely on mental power to control the flying sword would likely be insufficient; it would require the control of one's primordial spirit.

Time gradually passed, the flying sword took shape, the runes gradually condensed, and the connection between Xu Yue's primordial spirit and the flying sword became increasingly close.

"Shh!"

As the runes gradually condensed, the flying sword transformed into a beam of light and merged into Xu Yue's body.

Xu Yue looked inward and saw that his primordial spirit held a command in one hand and a sword in the other.

With a thought, the flying sword appeared in Xu Yue's hand.

Become!

Xu Yue got up, left the laboratory, then summoned his flying sword, stepped onto it, and soared into the sky.

"Grass!"

Not long after it flew out, due to its unfamiliarity with flying sword, it fell directly off. If it weren't for the ability of its primordial spirit to stay in the air, it would probably have crashed to the ground.

Flying on a sword doesn't seem to be that simple.

Flying on a sword can also be dangerous.

Pity.

The materials provided by Wudang Mountain last time detailed the method of forging flying swords, but the related supernatural abilities, such as flying on swords, were only mentioned in fragments.

That's something he'll have to figure out himself.

I'll ask the Special Administration Bureau if they have anything related to this.

However, Xu Yue was still quite happy at this moment.

The flying sword was successfully forged, and although there was a minor accident while flying on it, it was not a serious problem.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Jianghe looked at Xu Yue with some surprise.

Did he fall from the sky?

what happened?
Xu Yue smiled and instantly summoned the flying sword back from the sky.

"The flying sword has been successfully forged. I tried flying on it, but there was a small accident."

Xu Yue said with a smile, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

He fell from the sky while flying on his sword and was witnessed by someone.

Luckily, it was someone I knew; otherwise, it would have been more than just awkward.

"You've succeeded?" Xu Jianghe exclaimed in surprise, then added, "You'd better be careful. It's broad daylight. If someone sees you, the Special Administration Bureau will be in for a lot of trouble. Our village has quite a few tourists."

"I'm getting a little impatient."

Xu Yue gave an awkward laugh.

He used to be like a child who had just received a toy; he wouldn't care about where to put it, he would immediately start playing with it.

He really wasn't thinking about anything else just now.

His eyes were only on the flying sword.

"I didn't expect you to actually succeed in refining it?" Xu Jianghe said. "When did you manage to get the refining materials?"

"The main material was that piece of meteorite iron from outer space, and then the school laboratory provided me with a set of materials for the Goujian Sword," Xu Yue said. "I suspect that the materials provided by Wudang Mountain for forging flying swords don't all have to be the same. Flying swords shouldn't be all the same; some materials are just essential. As for which materials are essential, it's hard to say right now."

Xu Jianghe nodded.

If the materials used to forge flying swords are the same, then wouldn't their quality be roughly the same?

This is very unscientific.

Well, to be precise, it's not really fantastical.

There may be a few essential materials for flying swords, but others can be freely combined to create a diverse array of options.

"There is at least one successful material that can be copied."

Xu Jianghe said with a smile.

What materials are essential, and what can be substituted?
These are worth studying.

If you're too lazy to do research, or if the materials are too precious to collect, then you can just copy them directly.

"You want it?" Xu Yue said with a smile. "The most difficult material to collect for refining is meteorite iron from outer space. However, even if you collect it all, it will probably be nothing more than a useless commodity for you."

"Why?"

Xu Jianghe was somewhat surprised.

He clearly wanted to get a flying sword, even though he was a martial arts practitioner and didn't rely heavily on magical artifacts.

“Flying swords require the power of the primordial spirit to control,” Xu Yue said. “If you control them with mental energy, the consumption is too great. With your current mental energy, if you try to fly on a sword, I estimate you would be exhausted and unconscious after a hundred meters.”

"That's it!"

Xu Jianghe sighed. If that's the case, then it's better not to have it at all.

If someone were to fly a hundred meters on a sword and then faint, wouldn't they fall from the sky?

As for using flying swords to attack?

His mental strength is probably not enough to cause any harm.

Instead of using flying swords to attack, it's better to just use a gun.

Even for those with high cultivation levels, guns are of little use.

"Take your time figuring out your flying sword; I won't bother you any longer," Xu Jianghe said. "I heard you're going abroad? Would you like me to come along?"

"Need not!"

Xu Yue shook his head.

It would be best for him to travel abroad alone this time. Bringing anyone would be a bit of a burden, even someone like Xu Jianghe, a master of the fourth realm.

His plan was actually very simple.

Once you find them, use a teleportation technique to get there, capture the two of them, and then use another teleportation technique to leave.

Crisp and neat, without any sloppiness.

By the time those people realized what was happening, Xu Yue estimated they would have already boarded the ship and returned.

Besides, if he wanted to hide, how could they possibly find him?
Xu Yue's escape techniques are still quite impressive.

Although he was most proficient in Earth Escape Technique, he was not only skilled in Earth Escape Technique; he also knew the four elemental escape techniques of Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire.

It has even been integrated into the Five Elements Escape Technique.

Of course, this is also thanks to the Yin-Yang Five Elements Spirit Pearl.

It must be said that the magical creatures born from heaven and earth have truly endless uses.

"Then be careful."

Xu Jianghe didn't say anything.

He was just asking the question casually.

He knew very well that if he went along, he would not only be of no help, but might even become a burden.

This trip is different from my last trip to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is ultimately within the mainland.

"rest assured!"

Xu Yue smiled and nodded.

He was very confident, and now that he had refined a flying sword, he had even more tricks up his sleeve, so there was no reason why he wouldn't be even more confident.

Of course, while he was confident, he still needed to be careful and cautious, as he didn't want to suffer an unexpected setback.

"The flying sword has been successfully forged?" Zhang Ruoxi asked in surprise, then asked, "Can it take someone's head from a thousand miles away?"

"Oh!"

Xu Yue was stunned when he heard this.

Shouldn't she have asked first if she could fly on a sword?
This is not what I imagined.

"A thousand miles is a bit of an exaggeration," Xu Yue said, shaking his head. "My divine sense doesn't go that far. How can I control a flying sword to places my divine sense can't reach, let alone aim precisely?"

"A hundred li?" Zhang Ruoxi asked when she saw Xu Yue still shaking his head. "Ten li?"

Xu Yue nodded this time.

It's definitely more than ten miles, but there's no need to worry about that.

He never intended to kill anyone with his flying sword.

He wasn't that intent on killing.

He has a special fondness for flying swords, but what he really wants is to fly on a sword.

"Flying on a sword?"

Zhang Ruoxi then asked.

The reason she asked about killing people from a thousand miles away with a sword was simply because she was worried about Xu Yue going abroad.
