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

Chapter 467 A cloud of masters
Everything from Taoyuan Farm sells well, whether it's vegetables or meat.

Even though meat is more expensive than vegetables.

If vegetables are ten times more expensive than the market price, then meat would be twenty times more expensive.

After all, the growth cycle is longer than that of vegetables, and the cost is also higher.

The farm has expanded significantly, but prices remain the same, mainly because the market is not saturated and supply still exceeds demand.

Of course, there is another key factor: there are no competitors.

Without competition from products of the same quality, prices naturally remain high.

Moreover, the quality is constantly improving.

Xu Yue returned from Gaogang Village but did not see Zhang Ruoxi, and the child was taken care of again.

"Ruoxi is in the lab."

Li Xiurong spoke first.

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded. Zhang Ruoxi was refining the Earth Spirit Pearl and should be cultivating over there now.

Just as he was about to go over, Liu Chengji came to his door.

"I'm preparing for a breakthrough, and I would appreciate it if you would protect me then, boss."

Liu Chengji got straight to the point.

Is a breakthrough imminent?

Xu Yue nodded.

Previously, Liu Chengji had already taken half a step forward due to the baptism of spiritual energy tide, and he has been consolidating his progress during this period.

"Go to the school and find my grandfather, get some pills and elixirs, just in case," Xu Yue said. "When do you plan to break through? Just come to the lab to break through then."

"tonight?"

Liu Chengji looked at Xu Yue with some questions in his eyes.

“Then let’s do it tonight,” Xu Yue said. “What about Guo Tianyou? He should be almost here by now.”

If Liu Chengji takes half a step, then Guo Tianyou will take a small half step.

By now, preparations should be almost complete.

“I’ll set an example first,” Liu Chengji said. “If there are no problems, he will follow suit.”

Liu Chengji's background and experience are far superior to Guo Tianyou's.

“Then when you go to the school, call Guo Tianyou along,” Xu Yue said. “By the way, when you break through tonight, I’ll call the other villagers.”

Liu Chengji nodded, naturally having no objection.

There are quite a few villagers who have the potential to break through the four boundaries.

Li Zhuting and his family of three, Guo Tianyou's two sons, Zhao Zixu and his sister, Xu Yue's brother-in-law, and his parents, etc.

Taoyuan Village's current strength is quite astonishing.

It will get even more amazing in the future.

Liu Chengji called Guo Tianyou to the school, while Xu Yue went to the laboratory.

Wang Yun also practiced there.

"Liu Chengji will be here tonight to break through to the fourth realm. If you are interested, you can come and take a look."

Xu Yue said to Wang Yun.

Wang Yun is showing signs of breaking through to the third realm, but she is not in a hurry to do so.

Seeing others break through to the fourth realm can be somewhat beneficial.

After all, their levels of understanding are not that different.

Watching Xu Yue's breakthrough before was probably a waste of time; besides being shocked, I gained nothing.

However, Liu Chengji's breakthrough to the fourth realm should bring him some gains.

She will break through to the fourth realm sooner or later.

With such good resources and talent, how could he not break through to the fourth realm?

As for the Five Realms, Xu Yue couldn't guarantee that.

He knew very well that breaking through to the fifth realm was much more difficult than breaking through to the fourth realm.

His breakthrough to the fifth realm was undoubtedly the most difficult breakthrough he had ever made in his cultivation.

Breaking through to the sixth realm is not as difficult as breaking through to the fifth realm.

"it is good!"

Wang Yun nodded.

There were quite a few people there in the evening.

Zhang Ruoyu and Han Lingxue both came.

Almost all the experts in the village came, including the three patients, Guo En, Li Liang, and Shi Lin.

They were all at the third realm, so they were naturally very curious about breaking through to the fourth realm.

There are also those in the second realm.

For example, Wang Yun and Li Zihan.

Lee Joo-ting didn't come; he's currently at the desert farm.

There's no need to rush back for this.

Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi naturally arrived.

However, most of them walk outside.

A breakthrough requires a quiet environment.

The training room has a soundproof function.

Liu Chengji broke through, with Xu Yue and Xu Chengyang protecting him inside, while the others stayed outside.

What did we gain from this?
The perception of those in the second realm is not weak, let alone those in the third realm.

Even just sensing the changes in Liu Chengji's aura during his breakthrough would be incredibly beneficial to him.

Liu Chengji is a spiritual practitioner, unlike Xu Yue and the others.

Xu Yue practices internal energy cultivation, while Xu Chengyang and Xu Jianghe practice martial arts.

However, once you reach the fourth realm, the paths lead to the same destination.

Xu Yue, Xu Chengyang, and others not only shared their experiences of breaking through to the fourth realm with Liu Chengji and the others in detail, but Xu Chengyang also asked Liu Xuanbin, the leader of Qingcheng Sect, on their behalf.

"The paths of cultivation differ, but upon reaching the fourth realm, they all converge on the same goal: the condensation of essence, qi, and spirit," Xu Chengyang said. "Xiao Yue cultivates qi, focusing on the simultaneous cultivation of essence, qi, and spirit. Jiang He and I practice martial arts, using qi and blood to promote spiritual power. You spiritual cultivators use spiritual power to drive qi and blood, but to condense the elixir, you need the fusion of spiritual power and qi and blood."

"Whether the experiences of other spiritual practitioners are useful to you is up to you to figure out," Xu Chengyang said. "After all, we don't know whether the cultivation methods of the Feng Shui lineage are the same as those of other spiritual practitioners."

Xu Yue has quite a few feng shui masters under his command.

Guo Tianyou and his son are also feng shui masters.

Moreover, feng shui masters play a significant role.

Liu Chengji was the first, Guo Tianyou was bound to be the second, and Guo Huai also had a chance to reach the fourth realm.

Therefore, they all attached great importance to Liu Chengji's breakthrough.

How many Feng Shui masters are there in China today?

Xu Yue didn't know.

He only knew Ye Chenguang and Liu Shi'an of the Liu family.

However, I heard there's another one in Hong Kong, but Xu Yue doesn't know him.

Don't underestimate the power of Feng Shui masters, especially in this world of unexpected changes, where their influence is significant.

Haven't you seen the Special Administration Bureau borrow people from Xu Yue several times?

During this period, they have been collaborating to find dragon veins that are about to revive or coalesce.

Once found, the rewards are amazing.

A fourth-level Feng Shui master is far more capable than a third-level or second-level master, so the chances of finding one are much higher.

Liu Chengji calmed himself down and then began his breakthrough.

This was the first time Xu Yue had ever seen someone break through to the fourth realm in spiritual cultivation.

With his current level of understanding, he naturally saw it clearly.

Indeed, they are different from those who practice Qi cultivation and those who practice martial arts.

Xu Chengyang is right.

Qi cultivation involves the simultaneous cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit.

Those who practice martial arts use their qi and blood to drive their spiritual power.

Spiritual practice, on the other hand, involves using mental energy to drive the flow of qi and blood.

The order of events is different, but the result is the same.

This is why, after the four realms, different paths lead to the same destination.

Liu Chengji's breakthrough was not so smooth.

He was older, and his vitality wasn't what it used to be; besides, he was practicing spiritual cultivation. However, in the end, it was a close call without any real danger.

Fortunately, they had prepared many pills and elixirs in advance.

Only by stimulating the blood and qi with the properties of the medicine could the elixir be successfully formed.

His potential has probably been almost exhausted.

If the world doesn't change much, then the four realms will be his limit.

If the changes in the four realms are significant enough, then he might still be able to continue on the path of cultivation.

Guo Tianyou should have more potential than him.

He is much younger after all.

"Thank you!"

After Liu Chengji made the breakthrough, he expressed his gratitude with great excitement.

He never even considered the possibility of breaking through to the fourth realm.

Unexpectedly, he broke through to the fourth realm shortly after arriving in Peach Blossom Village.

I wonder if Liu will regret it.

Return to the Liu family?
Liu Chengji hadn't thought of that.

He knew very well that without the support of Peach Blossom Village's resources, it would have been difficult for him to even reach the end of the third realm, let alone break through to the fourth realm.

“We’re all on the same side, no need for thanks,” Xu Yue said. “Let’s consolidate our cultivation first, then we’ll talk to Guo Tianyou later.”

Liu Chengji nodded.

What to talk about?
Naturally, these are some insights and experiences gained from the breakthroughs.

If it weren't for Xu Yue, he would never have had a chance to break through.

If it weren't for Xu Yue and the others, he might not have succeeded in breaking through.

The older you are, the lower your success rate in making a breakthrough.

This is not just a matter of qi and blood.

As I get older, my energy levels aren't as high as they used to be.

Liu Chengji made a breakthrough, and Taoyuan Village gained another new experience.

Perhaps there is more than one.

Xu Yue and Xu Chengyang did not stay long, but the others stayed.

After Liu Chengji came out, he didn't mince words and immediately shared his breakthrough experience.

Guo Tianyou undoubtedly reaped the most rewards.

The second most likely candidate is Guo Huai.

They are all feng shui masters.

If it were to be the next pair, it would probably be Zhao Zixu and his sister.

They are also very close to the four borders.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the next person to break through to the fourth realm after Guo Tianyou.

A few days later, Guo Tianyou was ready to break through to the fourth realm.

He had a much smoother life than Liu Chengji.

They have an advantage in both mental strength and blood circulation.

Of course, they also have an advantage in terms of experience.

"Let's talk about breakthroughs again when you've calmed down."

Xu Yue looked at Zhao Zixu.

Perhaps stimulated by Liu Chengji and Guo Tianyou's breakthroughs, they actually wanted to try to break through to the fourth realm.

"The worst thing for a breakthrough is to be impatient and restless," Xu Yue said. "Liu Chengji and Guo Tianyou have profound foundations and their accumulated experience is beyond your reach. Even they faced considerable risks in their breakthroughs, let alone you. If you really try to break through and fail, the losses will outweigh the gains."

Breaking through a realm, especially the fourth realm which involves a qualitative change, is extremely dangerous.

If you're unlucky, then you're doomed.

With a bit of luck, it might just be a waste.

Even with a bit more luck, it's likely that there's still no hope of reaching the fourth realm.

Only a very small number of people are incredibly lucky enough to have their subsequent cultivation unaffected.

“You’re still a bit lacking,” Xu Yue said. “Sharpening your axe won’t delay your work. On the trip to Little Red Dot, perhaps another Paladin at the fourth level will die at my hands, but there will definitely be other experts at the fourth level. If you force your way through, you’ll never get your revenge.”

Xu Yue naturally knew why Zhao Zixu and his sister were in such a hurry to break through; it was simply because they claimed the Holy Knights were weak and wanted to kick them while they were down.

Xu Yue still had some understanding of the Paladin's background.

Before going to Little Red Dot, he obtained a lot of information from the Special Administration Bureau.

“Take these back and take a look. Build up your foundation first before aiming for a breakthrough,” Xu Yue said. “Those major foreign powers have stood strong for so many years; it’s not that simple. This information may not be accurate.”

The Zhao siblings exchanged a glance but said nothing more, instead taking the documents back to review them.

"They're still young, why the rush?"

After the two left, Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help but ask.

"They want revenge."

Xu Yue said calmly, but Zhang Ruoxi said nothing more.

People who harbor resentment are bound to be impatient.

If you have the ability, who would want to wait until the next day to seek revenge?

They were getting impatient.

“They should be close too, right?” Zhang Ruoxi said. “You’ve made it so clear, I’m sure they understand.”

Xu Yue nodded.

With two more fourth-realm experts added to Peach Blossom Village, there are now five fourth-realm experts, plus Xu Yue, who is a sixth-realm expert.

Even the Special Administration Bureau probably doesn't have that many experts at the fourth realm.

Of course, among the other experts, Peach Blossom Village is clearly far inferior to the Special Administration Bureau.

"There are so many experts here!"

Guo Tianyou had only been on his breakthrough for two days when Yan Tian arrived.

"You want to borrow someone?" Xu Yue immediately saw through Yan Tian's intention and said, "The Special Administration Bureau shouldn't lack experts right now, and the pressure shouldn't be that great, right?"

“The pressure is indeed much less than before,” Yan Tian said. “But you know what the situation is now. Strange things are happening frequently, which has involved a lot of manpower. The main problem is that the Special Administration Bureau has always been short of experts.”

"Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji should be considered as having lent you around by now, right?" Xu Yue said. "Besides, my third uncle also lends a hand from time to time, doesn't he?"

Yan Tian simply smiled.

Guo Tianyou and his companion are currently helping the Special Administration Bureau with matters related to the Dragon Vein.

Xu Jianghe held a temporary position at the Special Administration Bureau and would occasionally take action.

The main purpose was to help Jing Guohua.

He's under a lot of pressure.

There are quite a few experts in Southeast Asia.

"The Special Administration Bureau's resources are probably not much worse than those of Peach Blossom Village," Xu Yue said. "Don't tell me your Special Administration Bureau doesn't have any newly promoted experts. There must be more than just Director Jing who has broken through to the fourth realm, right?"

Yan Tian smiled.

He can't deny it.

Of course, the Special Administration Bureau has good resources, but it can't compare to the people of Taoyuan Village.

The problem is that the Special Administration Bureau also has quite a few people in Taoyuan Village.

Moreover, they come in batches.

"The Zhao siblings have broken through to a breakthrough; will they be arranged to go abroad?"

Yan Tian asked.

Xu Yue glanced at him, wondering if this guy's purpose in coming here was to target Zhao Zixu.

“Of course,” Xu Yue said. “They have a grudge against the Holy Knights, and they will also be needed for the export of farm products in the future. As the farm expands and the domestic market gradually becomes saturated, they will naturally go abroad.”

"Going for the high-end?" Yan Tian said, "Those things are useful for cultivation. If they were to flow out in large quantities, what kind of impact would that have? You must know that."

"You mean we'll distribute it nationwide first, and then consider exporting?" Xu Yue said. "We've already seized the initiative, and domestic products are definitely better. If even that can't suppress those foreign cultivation forces, then..."

That's just waste.

Yan Tian naturally understood the meaning behind Xu Yue's words.

“Besides, once it’s available nationwide, you’re absolutely certain those overseas cultivation groups won’t be able to get their hands on it,” Xu Yue said. “Then why don’t I take this opportunity to make more money?”

"As for popularizing Taoyuan's products nationwide and making them available to all people, that's not something that can be done overnight; it requires a gradual approach," Xu Yue said. "I've actually discussed this with the leaders before."

Have you spoken with the leader?
Yan Tian naturally said nothing more.

Peach Blossom Farm is clearly not just a simple farm, because what it produces is not only useful to cultivators, but also very beneficial to ordinary people.

"I don't mean to interfere in your farm's affairs, I'm just reminding you," Yan Tian said. "As for exports, most of them will probably end up in the hands of cultivation forces. Besides, the domestic market shouldn't just be limited to the wealthy people in China, right? Those major cultivation sects also have quite high consumption levels."
