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

Chapter 478 It is necessary to return the good things from abroad to their rightful owners.
The outside must be safe first!

Do you think those powerful figures abroad aren't paying attention?

I'm afraid so.

I just don't have the energy for it right now.

Countless experts died or were injured, creating a power vacuum. After all, in cultivation factions, experts are generally in high positions.

Before this matter has been settled, people are already thinking about taking advantage of the changing world. Who will benefit from these gains?

"Then let's find a way to prolong their infighting," Xu Yue said, looking at Zhao Zixu. "You know what I mean, right?"

Zhao Zixu nodded.

In the struggle for power, they will help whoever is in a weaker position, so that they are evenly matched and it is difficult to determine a winner.

It may not last forever, but delaying it for a while is good too.

Seizing the initiative is key; if you're one step ahead, you'll be ahead every step of the way.

“There should be plenty of good stuff abroad, you don’t need to focus all your energy on Dragon Vein Mountain.” Xu Yue then looked at Ning Yun and said with a smile, “You don’t seem to be feeling very good about it?”

“I’ve made some progress,” Ning Yun said. “I have a feeling that a powerful magical artifact from the Yin-Yang School is in the hands of a collector abroad. I’m currently considering how to get it back. If I were to buy it, I wouldn’t have enough money, so you’d have to lend me some.”

"Spend money to buy your own things?" Xu Yue said with a sneer. "Are you out of your mind? But let's see who has them and how they got them first. If we have to take them back with money, that's not a big deal. The main thing is whether there will be any trouble with other methods."

If there's no trouble, then naturally we should do a business with no capital.

If there's trouble, it's fine to solve it with money.

For Xu Yue now, money is probably just a number.

Even if his number may not be the largest.

“I feel that besides the Yin-Yang School’s magical artifacts, there are probably quite a few other schools’ magical artifacts that have been lost,” Ning Yun said. “I think it is necessary for us to return them to their rightful owners.”

Who was the original owner of this body?

Xu Yue asked with a smile, while the others probably thought Ning Yun was going to bring back those magical artifacts and give them to those sects.

But Xu Yue knew Ning Yun; he wasn't some pushover.

"Of course it's us."

Ning Yun said matter-of-factly.

The others twitched at the corners of their mouths upon hearing this, but thought it made perfect sense.

If we brought it back from abroad, whose is it if it's not ours?

“If you discover anything, then don’t hesitate, whatever method you use,” Xu Yue said. “However, it’s best to minimize the impact first and make them more vigilant.”

Everyone nodded.

The power of ritual implements is still very significant.

If it weren't for the magical artifacts crafted by Xu Yue protecting them, Zhao Zixu and his sister, as well as Guo En and the others, would probably be in trouble even standing here right now.

"Get some rest. We'll go up the mountain tomorrow," Xu Yue said. "Is it alright to prioritize those who are about to break through to the core area this time?"

Everyone nodded, naturally having no objections.

Xu Yue never showed favoritism in this regard.

At least it's convincing.

“We’re outnumbered, but the others won’t have bad positions,” Xu Yue said. “Let’s leave it at that.”

The next day, the group went up the mountain.

Although the locations are not fixed, the Special Administration Bureau has already made arrangements for which areas are for which people.

Xu Yue and Yan Tian were at the very core.

Many prominent figures from the Taoist sect were present, as was Master Yande from the Buddhist sect.

However, relatively speaking, Taoist masters are the mainstream.

They were mostly experts at the fourth level.

They came not only for the spiritual energy surge, but also clearly for Yan Tian's breakthrough.

They hadn't had a chance to see Xu Yue's breakthrough, but how could they miss it this time?

This is invaluable experience.

This is only the second person in hundreds of years to break through to the fifth realm.

Xu Yue was the first.

But he practices Qi cultivation, unlike Yan Tian who practices martial arts.

Nowadays, martial arts training is the mainstream practice in the cultivation world.

There are many spiritual practices, but they are far less important than martial arts training.

Many of those Taoist masters practiced martial arts, or were both spiritual and martial arts practitioners.

There are really only two pure spiritual practitioners.

"Spiritual herbs and pills are actually not that necessary. The spiritual energy is much purer than those things."

Seeing that Yan Tian had taken out a lot of spiritual herbs and pills from his storage ring, Xu Yue immediately spoke up.

Under the influence of spiritual energy, all those things are just trash.

Yan Tian has a deep foundation, so the chances of him breaking through are very high.

If you can't break through even under the tide of spiritual energy, then those spiritual medicines and pills are useless.

"I'm just worried that after the spiritual energy surge, I might still be a little short," Yan Tian said with a smile. "It would be troublesome if I wanted to take it out then."

When you break through a barrier, your mind is naturally focused on other things.

Taking something out of a storage artifact requires mental focus.

"The spiritual energy this time might not be as strong as it was in Peach Blossom Village, but it should be more than enough for your breakthrough," Xu Yue said. "Alright, you can get ready now, that way you'll feel more at ease."

It may not be needed, but if it brings peace of mind, then it is necessary.

Do you think my chances of breaking through are high?

Yan Tian couldn't help but ask, his heart filled with unease.

After all, apart from Xu Yue, the last person to enter the fifth realm was the founder of Wudang several hundred years ago.

Even whether Zhang Sanfeng broke through the fifth realm is still controversial.

Some say that he was able to dominate the world not because he broke through the fifth realm, but because he cultivated both spiritual and martial arts, reaching the peak of the fourth realm in both.

"Great!" Xu Yue said, "You're just one step away from success, and you've encountered a surge of spiritual energy. That's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You don't need to be so anxious about it."

"There is definitely a significant problem with my state of mind."

Yan Tian nodded, feeling both anxious and nervous.

It's one thing to know something, but quite another to do it.

Whether the breakthrough is successful or not, the impact is significant.

The higher-ups also had high hopes for him.

He didn't want to fail, either for his own sake or for his personal life.

"rest assured!"

Xu Yue smiled and patted Yan Tian on the shoulder.

Xu Yue had no idea how old Yan Tian was; he couldn't tell at all.

Judging from his appearance, he looks to be around forty or fifty years old.

But his actual age is definitely much older.

However, although he was older than Xu Yue, his cultivation level was far inferior to Xu Yue's.

In the spiritual practice world, the principle is that those who have attained enlightenment come first.

Xu Yue patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't think much of it. Instead, he felt inexplicably encouraged.

"is that OK?"

Xu Yue changed the subject and looked around.

Yan Tian naturally knew what Xu Yue was asking.

“There are people from the Special Administration Bureau watching over every place. If anyone causes trouble, we’ll settle accounts later,” Yan Tian said. “If anyone causes trouble now, they’ll be sent down the mountain.”

“There are many wild animals in the mountains, and I’m afraid it will attract a lot of wild animals and poisonous insects,” Xu Yue said. “This place is different from Qinglongtan. That place is a scenic area, and I set up some formations around the scenic area before, which is why no wild animals or poisonous insects were attracted there.”

"Probably not? Wild beasts are afraid of humans, especially since these are all cultivators; their very presence is enough to instill fear in them," Yan Tian said, frowning. "However, under the thick fog, there's always a chance something unexpected might happen."

"I'll set up a temporary formation around here."

Xu Yue thought for a moment, then spoke.

He hadn't thought of this before, but now that he has, he naturally won't do anything about it.

"Won't it cause any delays?"

Yan Tian asked.

The likelihood of causing injury is probably low.

Even if wild animals are attracted, the likelihood of them attacking humans is probably not high.

"It won't take much time," Xu Yue said. "The spiritual energy surge is coming, and there should still be a while. We'll have enough time."

After Xu Yue finished speaking, he disappeared. Yan Tian had seen this before, but his pupils still contracted slightly.

Those experts from the fourth realm who were not far away had been watching this place the whole time. When Xu Yue suddenly disappeared from their sight, they were shocked, but also somewhat enlightened.

No wonder it's rumored that even missiles couldn't do anything to him.

Is the realm of the primordial spirit really that mysterious?
No wonder there are rumors that Xu Yue slaughtered the entire region like dogs in the Little Red Dot.

No, it's easier than slaughtering dogs.

If there are four realms, they will all die in the blink of an eye; it's easier than stepping on an ant.

Many people do not believe this rumor.

Sijing might only face certain death in front of Xu Yue, but he certainly wouldn't be completely powerless to fight back.

He may have killed quite a few fourth-realm cultivators at Little Red Dot, but it was definitely not as easy as the rumors suggested.

But now?

They seemed to believe it to some extent.

With such supernatural abilities, if Xu Yue were to attack them, could they defend themselves?

Just a moment later, Xu Yue suddenly appeared in front of Yan Tian again.

"nailed it?"

Yan Tian asked.

He was wondering to himself if Xu Yue were to attack him, would he be able to react in time?

It seems like that really won't work.

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded.

Now that his primordial spirit is powerful and his divine sense covers a wide range, it is much easier for him to understand formations than before.

"What kind of supernatural power do you have?" Yan Tian couldn't help but ask curiously. "If it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

"The Five Elements Divine Power," Xu Yue said. "If you're interested, I'll give you a copy later. Whether you can master it or not, I don't know. When I was practicing the Earth Escape Technique, I almost suffocated underground. I only recovered a lot thanks to the Earth Spirit Orb."

Yan Tian nodded.

Such supernatural power, if it were so easy to master, how could it be possible?

However, this did not scare him.

Whether we can master it or not, we'll see after we've practiced it.

"I've collected some ancient books on the use of the primordial spirit; I'll give you a copy later."

Xu Yue continued.

"The Special Administration Bureau should also have some ancient books on this subject. I'll compile a copy for you later."

Yan Tian did not refuse; instead, he reciprocated.

He knew that Xu Yue was collecting information, and the Special Administration Bureau was also collecting information.

The reason we didn't share resources before was simply because the timing wasn't right.

Now the time has clearly come.

"The dragon vein is about to take shape."

Xu Yue suddenly spoke, and Yan Tian stopped talking. The surroundings gradually quieted down.

Xu Yue didn't hide his words, and many people around heard them.

Those close to the core are basically the big shots.

With the bigwigs quieting down, the influence naturally spread to the periphery.

There might still be some noise around, but it was much quieter than before.

As mist gradually appeared in the mountains, it gave people the feeling that the air quality had improved considerably.

Everyone knew that the spiritual energy surge was coming.

Xu Yue's cultivation technique activated automatically, instantly absorbing the mist into his body, but he quickly suppressed it.

Yan Tian now understood the domineering nature of Xu Yue's technique.

If he were to practice his cultivation technique, he could only sit on the sidelines and drink some soup.

Without wasting any words, he began preparing for his breakthrough.

Martial arts cultivation is dynamic practice, while spiritual cultivation is static practice.

However, once one reaches Yan Tian's level of cultivation, martial arts practitioners don't need to practice every fist technique.

Yan Tian was standing in a stance, unlike the seated meditation posture of spiritual cultivation.

The Three-Body Stance is a very common stance exercise.

Xu Yue could tell that Yan Tian was currently channeling his essence, energy, and spirit into his inner core, while spiritual energy was continuously flowing into his body.

The spiritual energy was growing stronger, and the fog was beginning to obstruct visibility.

The Taoist masters and Buddhist Master Yande, who were not far away, were not focusing their main attention on cultivation, but on Yan Tian.

After this surge of spiritual energy, many powerful figures will likely be able to reach the fifth realm.

To say they were lucky in time seems a bit of an exaggeration.

After all, I'm getting old.

But the Five Realms, which they had never dared to hope for before, seemed to be right before their eyes.

Yan Tian's power was constantly rising, and there was an indescribable pressure emanating from him.

This prevented the people nearby from cultivating, allowing the spiritual energy to cleanse their bodies, while their attention was entirely focused on Yan Tian.

Yan Tian's essence, energy, and spirit surged into his inner elixir, which reached a critical point and then cracks appeared.

"Pour your mind and spirit into it!"

Xu Yue suddenly spoke up, noticing that Yan Tian's mental strength seemed to be lacking, so he directly reminded him.

Upon hearing Xu Yue's words, Yan Tian didn't waste any more words and focused all his attention on his inner core.

Click!

The inner core shattered, and the fragments were absorbed by the blurry humanoid shadow, which then gradually took shape.

Breaking through the elixir to form the infant spirit, the primordial spirit begins to take shape.

"Phew, thanks!"

Yan Tian opened his eyes, looked at Xu Yue, and thanked him.

He still needed to figure out what wonderful uses his newly formed primordial spirit could have, but he could clearly feel that it had become much stronger.

Even after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Xu Yue still gave them the same feeling.

The gap doesn't seem to have narrowed at all.

I couldn't see through it before, and I still can't see through it now.

Could the gap between different primordial spirits be even greater?
Or has Xu Yue already broken through to the sixth level?

The thought startled Yan Tian.

It's not impossible.

After all, Xu Yue's cultivation speed was astonishing.

“I’ve also started cultivating,” Xu Yue said. “I suggest you stay away from me; it’s best to keep some distance.”

Xu Yue's cultivation technique was running automatically, but he had been suppressing it to protect himself. He had already broken through, but he still needed to consolidate his progress.

As for why he needed to keep some distance from Xu Yue, he immediately understood.

Xu Yue's cultivation method is extremely domineering. Being around him is like drinking soup; it's better to stay away.

The spiritual energy emanating from those places may not be as strong as here, but it is still extremely concentrated.

When a dragon vein takes shape, it brings blessings to the surrounding area.

Xu Yue was originally at the peak of Yin Spirit. If he could take another step, he could turn Yin into Yang, then integrate it into his Qi and blood, transforming from Yin to Yang, and enter the Yang Spirit realm.

The state of spiritual integration is actually the process of merging with Qi and blood, transforming from Yin to Yang.

Xu Yue was just one step away, but that step is not so easy for anyone.

However, Xu Yue was not in a hurry to break through, but instead used the spiritual energy tide to accumulate his foundation.

He never intended to make a breakthrough here.

Once you've accumulated enough, it's not too late to break through when you get back.

This spiritual energy surge was not as strong as the one in Peach Blossom Village, both in terms of concentration and duration.

However, Xu Yue still reaped considerable rewards.

At least he can break through to the seventh realm at any time.

Xu Yue reaped quite a harvest this time.

Others also have their own preferences.
