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

Chapter 440 The Azure Dragon Pool is About to Dry Up
treatment?

This is indeed a problem.

Too high won't do.

This affects the farm, the school, and others in the lab.

If it's too low, that definitely won't work either.

Furthermore, there should be distinctions between those who go to farms, those who go to laboratories, and those who stay on campus.

After all, the job content is different.

Going to the lab or staying on campus isn't a matter of either of us; both can generally be done part-time.

That should allow you to earn two salaries.

As for the fourth option, that would naturally be starting a business.

The farm provides the funding and handles the sales channels, accounting for the majority of the profits.

How much of the head it can occupy is something that needs to be discussed.

Xu Yue was not very familiar with this.

The key issue is that he wasn't even clear about the benefits and compensation offered by the farm, school, and laboratory.

Especially in the laboratory, Xu Yue only provides food and lodging, while the salary and benefits are paid by the state.

If you're going to be a boss, you need to have the awareness of being a boss. What kind of boss are you if you have to do everything yourself?

If there's something to do, the employees will do it.

Xu Yue handed the matter over directly to Tian Yizhi, asking him to discuss it with the school and the laboratory.

Xu Yue has become increasingly idle.

The farm did not lease any more land, since it wasn't in a hurry for more than a few months.

Once the first batch of graduates arrives, they can finally put their skills to good use.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

Xu Yue had some free time, and so did Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji.

The two of them, however, couldn't stay idle and would occasionally help out at environmental protection companies.

Guo Huai was too busy; he also had to prepare for the wedding.

He's getting married.

And it happened right when the peach blossoms were in full bloom.

Nowadays, more and more people are coming to Taoyuan Village to get married when the peach blossoms are in full bloom each year.

Besides the super-rich, there are also some other wealthy people.

The only difference is the scale of the wedding banquet.

Taoyuan Village doesn't only host high-end wedding banquets.

Guo Huai's wedding banquet, however, was lavish.

His family is not short of money, and besides, they can get an extremely favorable discount.

All things considered, their family can definitely afford it.

I estimate that the gift money will be more than enough, with some left over.

The gifts given by the people in Taoyuan Village must have been substantial, and the gifts from the real estate companies where Guo Tianyou held a temporary position must have been equally generous.

Tie Fumin gave sixty-six.

"A lot of foreigners came today."

During the meal, Xu Jiangming spoke up.

“We’ve had plenty of foreign tourists coming here, some even in tour groups,” Li Xiurong said. “There’s nothing surprising about that.”

"They're not here for tourism," Xu Jiangming said. "They're getting married, holding their wedding banquets here. Has the hotel expanded its business overseas?"

"They must have been tourists here before," Xu Yue said. "There's nothing wrong with that, is there? Many people in China even go abroad to hold their weddings. Why can't foreigners hold theirs here?"

Xu Jiangming nodded.

Tourism in Taoyuan Village is becoming increasingly popular, with a large influx of visitors every day. During holidays, it can even become a situation where people are constantly being transported to each other.

Now that the peach blossoms are in full bloom, Taoyuan Village is bustling with people.

Many of those who come to Taoyuan Village to see the peach blossoms also visit the scenic area.

Taoyuan Village doesn't charge an entrance fee, but the other scenic area does.

Of course, even without going to tourist attractions, Xu Yue still makes money.

Some villagers also earned money.

Monetizing foot traffic.

The night market in Taoyuan Village is very popular now.

After eating, Xu Yue prepared to go to the laboratory.

He has been cultivating during this time.

To ponder the wondrous uses of the spirit pearl, and to refine the flying sword.

However, his handsome reputation arrived as soon as he stepped out the door.

"Something seems to have happened at Qinglongtan!"

Shuai Ming got straight to the point.

What's wrong with Qinglongtan?

Xu Yue was somewhat taken aback. When he asked the question, he scanned the Azure Dragon Pool with his divine sense and frowned.

“The water level of Qinglongtan is dropping,” Shuai Ming said. “This has never happened before. I’ve checked, and whether it’s a drought or a flood, the water level of Qinglongtan has hardly changed.”

Qinglongtan boasts stunning scenery and is one of the major attractions within the scenic area.

Of the many attractions in the scenic area, Qinglongtan was the first to become famous, and the only attraction that can compare to it is probably the Hundred Birds Forest.

Yunwu Mountain and Cyathea Valley are several points inferior to it.

The drop in water level will definitely have some impact.

"Go and see!"

Xu Yue was also very curious.

In his memory, he had never seen the water level of Qinglongtan drop; at most, the waterfall there would only have less water flow during droughts.

The water level of Qingxi River has dropped, but the water level of Qinglongtan has not dropped at all.

Of course, Taoyuan Village has a river, so there is water available even in drought years, though it takes a bit of effort.

The water level of the Qingxi River has dropped, but it has never actually dried up.

"Recently, more and more people have been coming to the scenic area, and the visitor center is already running out of capacity. I'm thinking of expanding, and I'd like to ask the boss for his opinion."

On the way, Shuaiming spoke to Xu Yue.

"You want to take over that farmland?" Xu Yue saw Shuai Ming nod and said, "Go and discuss it with Lao Tian. There should be quite a few people relocated from Taoyuan Village, right?"

Shuai Ming nodded.

If it weren't for Taoyuan Village diverting a lot of tourists, the other side would probably be packed with people.

A tourist center in a scenic area cannot possibly cover the entire village.

The visitor center doesn't actually take up much farmland.

The rest are either vegetables or rice, or fruit trees.

The land is being used very efficiently.

Shuai Ming wants to expand the visitor center, which will naturally affect the farm.

However, Xu Yue didn't care much.

Land is very profitable, as can be seen from when Xu Yue first started his business.

Scenic spots can also be very profitable.

Whether those places are profitable or not remains to be seen.

Anyway, Xu Yue was unaware of it.

He doesn't care either.

The scenic area has a good reputation and is not so "commercialized," at least there is no overcharging of tourists.

The general merchandise inside is cheaper than in other tourist attractions.

Of course, some are definitely expensive.

For example, the Taoyuan specialty store.

The two chatted and soon arrived at Qinglongtan.

At this time, the water level of Qinglongtan had indeed dropped somewhat.

However, the water volume of the small waterfall in the distance did not decrease.

At this time, there were quite a few tourists at Qinglongtan, some taking photos and others sightseeing.

And there was a tour guide there giving a long and detailed explanation.

It was mentioned that there were many large creatures in the Green Dragon Pool, including many fish weighing tens of kilograms.

This left the angler among the tourists feeling regretful.

They were naturally aware that there were many large creatures in Qinglongtan.

Qinglongtan, and even the entire scenic area, initially became famous because of this.

It's a pity that fishing is now prohibited at Qinglongtan.

Otherwise, it would definitely attract anglers from all over the country.

Fortunately, there are fishing spots in Taoyuan Village, so you can have a go at fishing.

Believe it or not, the fishing spot in Taoyuan Village has always been doing pretty well. It's not exactly full every day, but it's pretty much always packed.

The key point is that the fishing area has been expanded considerably.

Perhaps it was because of the increased use of earthworms that the fishing in that section of the river improved. Of course, the fishing grounds also frequently restocked the river with fish fry.

"Ok?"

Xu Yue glanced at the Azure Dragon Pool, then frowned.

He actually sensed a dragon's aura below.

Could it be that a dragon vein is forming in this place?

"Should we get a geology expert to take a look?" Shuai Ming said. "There's no impact yet, but if the water level drops further, the landscape here will be affected."

Qinglongtan is very famous, and now it is second only to Bai Niao Lin (Hundred Birds Forest) on the internet.

The Cloud Mist Mountain, the Tree Fern Valley, as well as the ancient tombs and karst caves, are somewhat inferior.

The key issue is that the scenery at Qinglongtan has deteriorated, which means the scenic area has lost a attraction.

He was recently working on upgrading the scenic area to 5A level when this incident happened.

"Don't worry yet!"

Xu Yue shook his head, then called Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji up.

"Did you notice anything?"

Xu Yue looked at the two of them and asked.

“Qinglongtan is connected to an underground river, so this situation shouldn’t occur,” Liu Chengji shook his head and said, “Besides, there’s no drought right now.”

"Old Liu, you're not going to say, 'This doesn't make sense,' are you?"

Xu Yue listened and couldn't help but say something.

Liu Chengji is a feng shui master, not a geology expert. Why are you telling me this?

Well, perhaps in Liu Chengji's view, feng shui is also quite scientific.

It's just that current science cannot fully explain it.

Upon hearing Xu Yue's words, Liu Chengji gave an awkward smile.

"Can't we find a reason from a scientific perspective?"

Guo Tianyou spoke.

When something like this happens, shouldn't we first consult a geological expert?
“We haven’t invited anyone yet,” Xu Yue said. “However, I reckon we might have to resort to metaphysics. I sensed a trace of dragon energy down below.”

"Dragon energy?" Liu Chengji said in surprise, "Dragon vein energy?"

There is a significant difference between dragon energy and dragon vein energy.

Liu Chengji and Guo Tianyou exchanged a glance, both showing shock.

Then the two of them took out a compass and circled around the Green Dragon Pool.

"It seems a dragon vein is about to take shape here."

"The formation of a dragon vein is related to water; the dragon draws water!"

Liu Chengji and Guo Tianyou then spoke, their eyes filled with shock.

Dragon veins don't form easily.

“The dragon vein here is somewhat special,” Liu Chengji said. “Dragon veins are generally divided into water veins and earth veins, but this place not only has earth veins, but also has the power of water veins due to the underground river.”

"Is the dragon vein taking shape?" Xu Yue asked. "Will the water level drop further?"

"meeting!"

Both nodded.

"To what extent?"

Xu Yue frowned, then asked.

Why do dragon veins sometimes form?
Xu Yue wasn't particularly surprised.

The surrounding villages and the surrounding barren mountains were all equipped with spirit arrays.

They also exist in the mountains.

With abundant spiritual energy, is it hard to imagine that a dragon vein could take shape?

Not difficult.

Moreover, the sheer number of ancient tombs in these mountains is enough to prove that the terrain and geomantic features are exceptionally favorable.

Xu Yue hadn't expected that the formation of this dragon vein was not only related to the mountain's terrain and the earth's veins, but also to the water's terrain and water veins.

"I don't know!"

Both of them shook their heads.

"If the dragon vein takes shape, will it be restored?" Xu Yue continued, "Or will it destroy the dragon energy?"

“When the dragon vein takes shape, it will bring blessings to the surrounding area,” Liu Chengji said hurriedly. “If it is destroyed, it will offend the natural order.”

It won't offend nature, but it will hurt business.

However, Xu Yue was just saying it casually.

The formation of the dragon vein might not necessarily be a bad thing for him.

As for the impact on the scenic area?

That's just a business.

Xu Yue's business is very successful now, so he doesn't need this little bit more.

"The formation of the dragon vein is related to the water veins, which absorb water vapor, thus causing this situation," Guo Tianyou said. "However, I estimate that the water level drop is limited, after all, this underground river is connected to the Qingxi River. And the water level of the Qingxi River doesn't seem to have changed much."

“Once the dragon vein takes shape and stops absorbing moisture, the water level should recover,” Liu Chengji said. “The underground water vein has a lot of water, which is why the water level of Qinglongtan has not dropped even during droughts in recent years.”

"in spite of?"

Xu Yue asked.

“We can ignore it,” Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji said, exchanging a glance. “We can also take care of it. If we make some arrangements, it might help the dragon vein take shape faster.”

"When a dragon vein is formed, there is a surge of spiritual energy, which can promote cultivation."

Liu Chengji added a sentence.

His eyes shone with an intense longing.

With this assistance, the four realms will definitely be within reach.

Even if they can't immediately advance to the fourth realm, they will definitely be able to take that step with the help of Peach Blossom Village's resources.

The four borders.

That is the realm that cultivators dream of.

Previously, he was a top figure in the global cultivation world.

Even though five realms have now appeared, Xu Yue is the only one among them.

Those at the Fourth Realm are absolutely top-tier, powerful figures.

The key is that every cultivator wants to see a higher realm.

Moreover, he also wanted to see what kind of expression Liu Shi of Nantian would have when he entered the fourth realm.

"You understand?" Xu Yue asked, seeing the two nod. "How long will it take? Does this area need to be sealed off?"

“There’s no need to seal it off.” Guo Tianyou glanced at Liu Chengji and said, “We can come tonight. However, on the day the dragon vein is formed, we’ll probably have to seal it off, as there will likely be some disturbance.”

"At night?" Xu Yue said, "There are occasionally tourists here at night."

"It won't affect anything," Liu Chengji said. "There are very few tourists at night after all."

There were indeed very few tourists at night.

After all, there are still dangers in the mountains.

However, now that electricity has been connected to the scenic area, the streetlights are usually turned on as well.

Security personnel also patrol the area, and if they encounter tourists, they will remind them or even escort them down the mountain.

Most of those tourists didn't have time to come down the mountain.

Camping is not allowed in the mountains.

Tourists rarely stay in the mountains at night, and even rarely visit the visitor center in Qinghe Village.

Most of them were drawn to Taoyuan Village.

Taoyuan Village is a popular spot for online influencers to take photos at night.

"It's hard to say how long it will take, but it shouldn't take more than a few days," Guo Tianyou continued. "However, it might depend on the spiritual energy of the surrounding villages."

The surrounding villages?

Peach Blossom Village was naturally the first to be affected.

The surrounding area is most rich in spiritual energy, except for Peach Blossom Village.

"Once the dragon vein takes shape, the surrounding villages will definitely benefit from it."

Liu Chengji added another sentence.

Xu Yue nodded.

It's not surprising that consuming spiritual energy is necessary to accelerate the maturation of the dragon vein.

"Then I'll leave this to you," Xu Yue said. "If you need anything, come to me, or you can contact my third uncle or the others."

Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji were clearly setting up a grand feng shui formation to accelerate the formation of the dragon vein.

They're the professionals at this.

Xu Yue didn't understand at all.

Then he won't interfere unnecessarily.

"Do you think this place might have had a dragon vein in the past?" Xu Yue suddenly asked. "Could the name 'Azure Dragon Pool' originate from this place?"

"I don't know."

Guo Tianyou and the other man exchanged a glance, then shook their heads.

This may not be impossible.
