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

Chapter 473 The Reappearance of the Inherited Item
The number of ancient books provided by Maoshan is quite large.

It was at least more than Xu Yue had expected.

This trip was truly a fruitful one.

Not only did he acquire many ancient books, but he also turned misfortune into blessing, with his cultivation level skyrocketing.

The ancient book also contains methods for utilizing the primordial spirit.

Xu Yue only glanced at it briefly, but it still gave him some inspiration.

Without lingering, Xu Yue led Meng Hao and the others back to Taoyuan Village that same day.

When Xu Yue arrived home, it was already evening.

The children are already asleep.

"Huh?" Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue and said, "I feel like you're a little different, but I can't quite put my finger on it. What's going on?"

"Your cultivation level is too low," Xu Yue said with a smile. "I actually turned a misfortune into a blessing this time."

Why is it that Zhang Ruoxi can't detect it when others can?
Cultivation level is only one aspect; the key is that she spends every day with Xu Yue and is too familiar with him.

Xu Yue then briefly recounted the trip to Zhang Ruoxi.

"A single Fire Spirit Pearl, coupled with that dense Yin energy, has already brought your cultivation to the peak of Yin God. Wouldn't the next step be to reverse Yin and Yang, merge Qi and blood, and enter the seventh realm? There shouldn't be any problems, right? I don't want you to be affected by the evil energy and have your temperament drastically changed."

In more scientific terms, evil energy is also a kind of energy of heaven and earth, just like spiritual energy and yin energy.

However, spiritual energy is the purest, while yin energy is relatively singular, possessing attributes and biases, while evil energy carries negative energy.

“No,” Xu Yue said. “Besides the fact that my cultivation method is somewhat special, it’s also related to the Fire Spirit Orb burning away the evil energy.”

"The Fundamental Sutra of Yan Emperor Hunyuan"!
Zhang Ruoxi knew the cultivation method Xu Yue practiced, and then seemed to realize something.

Emperor Yan? Fire Spirit Orb.

Hunyuan? That might encompass everything.

This technique, when combined with the Fire Spirit Orb, can purify negative energies such as malevolent energy.

Of course, this is also Zhang Ruoxi's guess.

She can't cultivate that technique.

“Under the stimulation of spiritual energy, the Yin energy in the zombie cave soared to the sky,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “There must be quite a few places like the zombie cave, right?”

"Who knows?" Xu Yue said. "This is not something we need to worry about."

Who cares?
That naturally includes large organizations in such places, as well as special administration agencies.

"Have you eaten?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "Would you like something to eat? I'll heat it up for you."

"Forget it!" Xu Yue said, "I can go ten days or half a month without eating it now and I'm fine."

"Fasting?"

Zhang Ruoxi seemed to be lost in thought.

“If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, one can abstain from grains after condensing one’s primordial spirit,” Xu Yue said. “Ordinary food is full of turbid energy, and I have no appetite for it now. Only our own food is palatable, and food from other villages or other villages is barely edible.”

Everything in Xu Yue's family's possessions was grown in a sacred land.

That would be even better.

The same applies to the meat we eat.

"I thought you were just used to good food and couldn't get used to other things," Zhang Ruoxi said. "It seems that having too high a cultivation level might not be a good thing. What if the world can't even tolerate you in the end?"

“The world is so big, how could it not accommodate me?” Xu Yue said. “If the world can’t change me, then I’ll change the world.”

Zhang Ruoxi smiled, naturally understanding the meaning behind Xu Yue's words.

As one's cultivation level increases, not only do one's requirements for food become higher, but so do one's requirements for the environment.

Places that used to be considered nice now probably look no different from outhouses.

So, can you still stay here?
Why do Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi generally not leave Taoyuan Village?
It's because he's been in Peach Blossom Village for so long that he sees other places as no different from "outhouses".

The feeling became even clearer after Xu Yue condensed his primordial spirit.

But Taoyuan Village is probably inferior to those places in many ways.

how so?

Wasn't it Xu Yue who changed it?
Starting from Taoyuan Village, Xu Yue has been changing the world step by step.

Do you think there is a Heavenly Order in this world?

Zhang Ruoxi suddenly said something that stunned Xu Yue.

"I don't know about that," Xu Yue said. "It probably doesn't exist, at least I haven't felt it. Perhaps the Dao of Heaven is different from what is described in movies and novels. It is actually just the law governing the operation of heaven and earth, which is very scientific."

Does the Way of Heaven have scientific basis?
Zhang Ruoxi did not refute this.

Perhaps the Way of Heaven truly refers to the laws of nature, or the laws governing the operation of heaven and earth.

Just like damaging a lawn can lead to soil erosion.

If you break the rules of heaven and earth, you will be devoured by heaven and earth.

"Wouldn't it be considered a great act of merit if we revived the spiritual energy? Wouldn't we receive divine rewards?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked with a smile, clearly joking.

“You’ve been reading too many novels,” Xu Yue said. “Perhaps it exists, but we just can’t see it. Perhaps we’ve seized the initiative because of the blessings of Heavenly Merit.”

"Is your rapid advancement in cultivation also due to this reason?" Zhang Ruoxi asked with a smile. "Perhaps you are the chosen one of this great era."

Xu Yue smiled silently.

Is he the chosen one?
maybe.

Anyway, he felt that everything went quite smoothly after he inherited the farming family tradition.

Whether in one's career or in one's spiritual practice.

Just a few days later, Xu Yue began to suspect that the chosen one was not him, but Ning Yun.

"Did you eat a ginseng fruit, kid?" Xu Yue asked Ning Yun. "What happened?"

Xu Yue has been spending the last few days at home reading the ancient books he had acquired, and has gained a great deal from them.

The students who went to set up formations for the various sects of Taoism also returned one after another, and nothing like what happened at Maoshan occurred.

All the challenges have been completed; now it's just a matter of time before graduation.

“A relative of my father-in-law held a banquet and encountered a miracle, so my cultivation level increased a bit.”

Ning Yun said with a smile, he was a little smug this time.

"You've improved a bit?" Xu Yue said. "You've directly broken through the threshold of the fourth realm and reached the mid-stage of Core Formation. You've already surpassed Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji, and are almost catching up with Ruoxi and Uncle San."

Ning Yun's lips twitched, and the smugness in his heart vanished instantly.

He was also a member of the Taoyuan lineage, so he was naturally familiar with the situation in Taoyuan Village.

He was present when Guo Tianyou and the others broke through to the fourth realm.

Having had this extraordinary encounter, he surpassed Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji in one fell swoop, and felt somewhat proud of himself.

But Xu Yue's words immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

Let alone catching up with that freak Xu Yue, he seems to be even inferior to Zhang Ruoxi, Xu Jianghe, and Xu Chengyang.

This has a bit of a "trying to show off but ending up getting slapped in the face" feel to it.

"Take a look at this."

Ning Yun didn't want to continue the topic of cultivation, so he took out a bronze token and handed it to Xu Yue.

The token was somewhat similar to the farmer's token that Xu Yue had obtained, yet there were differences.

They are made of similar materials but have different shapes.

One side is shaped like a yin-yang symbol, while the other side has some runes.

“I feel like there’s some vague connection between this token and me, but I’ve been trying to figure it out for ages and haven’t been able to.” Ning Yun continued, “So, that’s why I brought it here for you to see.”

"Is your cultivation level soaring because of this bronze token?" Xu Yue looked at Ning Yun and nodded. After a moment of silence, he handed the token back and said, "Try dripping your blood on it."

"What?"

Ning Yun took the token but looked at Xu Yue with a blank expression.

A drop of blood?

You've been reading too many novels and watching too many movies, you know? Blood oath ceremony?

Brother, you didn't even use the blood-drip process when crafting magical artifacts. The storage artifacts and millstone artifacts I have haven't been dipped in blood.

You're kidding!
"Let's give it a try," Xu Yue said. "What if it works?"

This token looks too much like Xu Yue's bronze token.

Xu Yue guessed it might be the inheritance token of the Yin Yang School.

To claim it as one's own?

Xu Yue did not have that idea.

He inherited a very complete set of agricultural traditions, and even wrote several agricultural books.

Those agricultural writings can be understood as the understanding of the agricultural way and the supernatural methods of farming by the agricultural ancestors.

Without those things, Xu Yue would just have to figure things out on his own, which would take a bit more effort.

His inheritance will allow him to cultivate to the point of reaching the ceiling seal of this world.

Therefore, there is no need to specialize in other methods.

Besides, he's not that kind of person.

If this token belongs to Ning Yun, then it is his.

Who can guarantee that this token, once refined, won't conflict with the token already inside his body?
"You're not going to screw me over, are you?"

Ning Yun glanced at Xu Yue and, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, pricked her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto it.

Ok?
Ning Yun was surprised to see the drop of blood disappear instantly, and then he felt as if he had a flesh-and-blood connection with the token.

Just as he was surprised, the bronze token transformed into a blue light and entered Ning Yun's mind.

A massive influx of information suddenly flooded Ning Yun's mind, leaving him feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Xu Yue remained expressionless, but he was certain that the bronze token was indeed a relic of the Yin-Yang School.

The reason Ning Yun felt a strange connection with the token was most likely because he practiced the Yin-Yang School of thought.

This may be one of the reasons why he had this extraordinary encounter.

Looking at Ning Yun, who was engrossed in the inheritance, Xu Yue even had some doubts. Could this guy be the chosen one of destiny?

And he himself was merely a cannon emplacement in front of him?

Then, Xu Yue chuckled and said, "There's no such thing as a chosen one."

Besides, who says there can only be one chosen one?

Now that the Yin-Yang School's lineage has reappeared in the world, will the lineages of other schools of thought also reappear?

For example, Confucianism!

"call!"

Ning Yun snapped out of her daze, took a deep breath, and looked at Xu Yue, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

"How do you know about such a common and lowly method of refining through blood?"

After asking the question, Ning Yun fell silent.

Nowadays, cultivators scoff at the idea of ​​refining magical artifacts with blood.

But if this actually happens in front of you, it means it's not that this method is ineffective, but rather that those magical artifacts are not working.

Any magical artifact that can be absorbed into the body is undoubtedly far superior to those crafted by Xu Yue.

That's not the key point. The key point is that this magical artifact can actually be inscribed with a lineage.

Moreover, it will not be lost for thousands of years.

That's an exaggeration; it's even more powerful than a computer.

If I store it on a computer, will it still be there even after thousands of years?
Forget about whether it will be lost or not, it's hard to say whether it can even be opened.

These methods, developed over thousands of years, are truly incredible.

"How do you think the ancients did that?"

Before Xu Yue could answer, Ning Yun couldn't help but ask the doctor.

How did Xu Yue know this?

He must have a similar token as well.

Moreover, that token should be the family heirloom token.

Knowing full well that the token might be a legacy token of the Yin-Yang School, Xu Yue was not tempted at all, and even told him the method of refining it without hesitation.

That vision is truly admirable.

If Ning Yun were in Xu Yue's position, he wouldn't believe he could have done that.

Could it be that someone became their own boss at such a young age?

I owe this person a huge favor.

I owed him my life before.

"The Imprint of the Primordial Spirit".

Xu Yue provided an answer.

This is what Xu Yue saw in an ancient book.

However, Xu Yue can't do it now.

Not only did they not understand how to imprint the primordial spirit, they also lacked a magical artifact capable of withstanding the imprinting of the primordial spirit.

As for the method of crafting the inherited magical artifact, it is indeed found in Xu Yue's inheritance.

He was confused by what he saw, so naturally he couldn't refine it.

The key issue is that he didn't even understand how to refine the materials.

Many things have different names in ancient and modern times.

Even within the same era, different regions had different names for the same item.

That's pretty damn bad.

In today's information explosion, we still can't figure out how many names a thing has, let alone in ancient times when communication was less developed.

Xu Yue's ability to forge storage artifacts and flying swords was not only due to the use of modern technology, but also undoubtedly involved an element of luck.

There are many raw materials for refining inherited magical artifacts, but Xu Yue can only be sure of one: copper!
I have no idea what the others are.

How to refine it?

Make bricks without straw!

He's like a skilled cook who doesn't know what rice is, so how can he cook it?
"You can refine it?" Ning Yun looked at Xu Yue with some surprise and said, "Then could you teach others by borrowing a magic artifact?"

Do you know what red phosphorite is?

Xu Yue asked, but Ning Yun shook her head.

Do you know what a Soul Stone is?

Ning Yun shook his head again.

"Do you know what Earth Spirit Ice is?"

Ning Yun shook his head again.

"I do not know either."

Xu Yue waved his hands and said with a helpless expression.

"Are those all raw materials for refining inherited magical artifacts?" Ning Yun asked, seeing Xu Yue nod. "Do those things have any special properties?"

"I don't know," Xu Yue said. "In the inheritance I received, there was only one name. I have no idea what it is. Not to mention that so much time has passed, the name must have changed. Even if it hasn't changed, the names for a certain thing in the cultivation world and the secular world are probably different."

"If the primordial spirit imprint could visualize things, that would be wonderful."

Ning Yun couldn't help but say something that left Xu Yue speechless.

"It seems that metaphysics still has its shortcomings compared to science," Xu Yue said. "With today's technology, this situation wouldn't exist. It's all illustrated with pictures and text."

Ning Yun smiled upon hearing this.

"Unfortunately, the inheritance I just received doesn't include any weapon-refining techniques," Ning Yun said. "It's all Yin-Yang School methods, like divination and soul incantations. I'll organize them and send you a copy later."

"Forget it!" Xu Yue shook his head and said, "I haven't even figured out my own inheritance yet. I'll ask you for it when I'm interested someday."
