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

Chapter 502 Deep-Sea Tuna

Xu Yue lost at cards, which is enough to show that luck and fortune are not the same thing.

He didn't think his luck was any worse than Xiong Yong's or others.

Their luck isn't necessarily worse than theirs.

However, luck comes in many forms.

His financial luck is probably not as good as theirs.

Or perhaps his luck wasn't in gambling.

Of course, Xu Yue didn't think that much about it.

Whether it's luck or fortune, it's all very mysterious, and he only understands a little bit about it.

Those from the Taoist lineage should know more about this.

In the afternoon, the young people went fishing for crayfish and soft-shelled turtles.

Xu Yue also went, although he's lost interest in it now.

The ones having the most fun weren't Zhang Ruohai and his group, but rather a few children.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was lively for a while, and then it became quiet again.

The two children went lobster fishing once, and then they kept asking to go again.

Xu Yue's younger cousin was the same.

The two families ate lobster for several days in a row.

"Does your feed mill produce fish bait?" Zhang Ruoxi asked Xu Yue. "If so, will you still raise earthworms?"

Earthworm farming is still quite large in scale.

Although it's expensive, it has always sold very well, and it's not even available for open sale.

However, since they are living creatures, selling bait is obviously more convenient.

If Xu Yue wanted to create a bait that had the same effect as raising earthworms, it wouldn't be difficult.

It's simply a matter of getting the raw materials for making bait from the farm.

As for whether the bait will affect other brands?

Why not just buy the more expensive one?

Of course, that should only be a short-term issue.

But once the spiritual energy recovers, those ordinary baits will definitely be eliminated.

“A feed mill? That’s not that fast,” Xu Yue said. “As for whether I can make feed, I haven’t really considered that. I’m mainly setting up a feed mill for poultry, livestock, and aquaculture.”

"You've got your eye on the bait market?"

Xu Yue looked at Zhang Ruoxi and said with a smile.

“The bait market is huge, but only a small percentage of anglers can afford it,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “My dad asked me that yesterday.”

"Where's your dad?" Xu Yue asked. "Did he go fishing?"

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, his parents did not rush to leave.

Zhang Ruohai and his wife have left.

Young people should prioritize their careers.

Yes, this is what Zhang Zelin said to Zhang Ruohai.

Zhang Ruoyu was nodding frantically beside him.

That's just how he is.

However, his career path was not to inherit the family business.

“My brother and the others,” Xu Yue said, “don’t seem to be very dedicated to cultivation.”

Zhang Zelin and Yang Qingyi were quite dedicated to their cultivation. No matter how busy they were, they would still work and cultivate in the backyard after returning home.

Zhang Ruohai and his wife are now very rare.

However, since I'm eating farm-grown food, my health is naturally much better than before.

Xue Yan is alright. She used to be a trained martial artist, and although she's been busy lately, she still has the skills.

"It's alright," Xu Yue said. "This world shouldn't change that fast. Even if it does, cultivation is the only path. Once the gene serum is successful and mature, we'll figure out a solution for them then."

Zhang Ruoxi knew quite a bit about gene therapy.

Otherwise, why would they have taken that giant octopus all the way to the school and even built a laboratory for it?

Moreover, this research isn't limited to China; it's even more intense abroad.

The fact that Dahuang was targeted by several groups of mercenaries speaks volumes.

The whole world is searching for mutated beasts.

Why did you bring them here?

That goes without saying.

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

Even if her younger brother didn't cultivate, he wouldn't be bullied.

Besides, not only did his own younger brother not cultivate, but neither did Xu Yue's second aunt's family or his uncle's family.

Only Aunt Xu Yue had practiced it before.

I don't practice much anymore.

Zhang Zelin and Yang Qingyi didn't stay in Taoyuan Village for long before returning to Yanjing.

After returning, they expressed some discomfort.

The air quality there is especially worse than in Taoyuan Village.

This time, they are truly ready to wash their hands of the matter.

Two days later, Liu Feifei came to visit Wang Yun.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yue couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Regret it?"

Seeing Xu Yue's expression, Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help but ask a question.

Xu Yue nodded.

I do have some regrets.

It hasn't been long, and Liu Feifei has already broken through to the second realm.

In the past, that would have been considered a true master.

Even now, they are by no means weak.

If this were given to a farmer, then...
“It is indeed somewhat unexpected,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “However, she is suited to cultivate the Yin-Yang School’s methods, but may not be suited to cultivate the Agricultural School’s methods.”

"maybe."

What Xu Yue valued was not necessarily Liu Feifei's talent, but rather the good fortune that allowed her to encounter the spiritual energy tides twice.

"She's incredibly famous right now, how can she still have time to come and play?"

Xu Yue couldn't help but ask.

Liu Feifei is indeed very popular, one of the most popular actresses today.

"She broke through to the second realm unintentionally and was afraid there might be some problems, so she came to find Ning Yun and also came here to play."

Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile.

Xu Yue was somewhat speechless. If a breakthrough happened unintentionally, wouldn't that be a natural and unobstructed breakthrough?
This kind of breakthrough is the one with the least potential risks.

“Feifei has good talent and luck, but doesn’t our village have one too?” Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile. “Didn’t Li Zhuting want Li Zihan to become your disciple last time? I think you might want to consider it.”

Where is that little girl now?

Xu Yue nodded.

That little girl is now at the third realm, and even at the third realm twice. Her talent is the highest in the entire school.

Not only her class, but none of those who came after her could compare.

“Then you’ll have to ask which village the farm is currently developing,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “However, she goes home every day.”

Li Zihan did not go on assignment or start a business, but stayed in Taoyuan Village with the others.

He is considered part of the farm's headquarters and is responsible for the development of the Gong'an City farm.

Why don't you take it?

Xu Yue thought for a moment and then said to Zhang Ruoxi, "I think I'll pass." Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and said, "Who knows, that girl might get ahead of me someday."

"Let's talk about it later."

Xu Yue replied.

Zhang Ruoxi simply smiled, clearly noticing that Xu Yue was interested.

The students at the school were also from farming families, but there was a difference between students and apprentices.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually turns cooler.

On this day, Yan Tian arrived at Taoyuan Village.

"The United States found a mutated tuna in the ocean, but lost two submarines and a warship."

Yan Tian first talked to Xu Yue about some of his doubts about cultivation, and then they talked about other things.

Xu Yue is now the number one person in the cultivation world. It is unclear how high his cultivation level is, but it should be above the fifth realm.

"So powerful?" Xu Yue said in surprise. "That giant octopus shouldn't be able to do that, right?"

“Therefore, we suspect that the tuna may be more than the fifth realm,” Yan Tian said. “As for the specifics, it’s very difficult to find out over there because they are keeping it a secret.”

"You want me to go to America and steal that tuna back?"

Xu Yue asked, genuinely somewhat tempted.

He was still very curious about the tuna on the two submarines and the warship.

Amazing.

If there were more of these, wouldn't they be able to traverse the oceans?

Even aircraft carrier fleets would give way to them.

“The tuna seems to have escaped,” Yan Tian said. “However, they obtained some flesh and blood, but they can’t find out where the laboratory is. Even if you wanted to steal it, you wouldn’t know where to start.”

"They escaped?"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised. That tuna was quite fierce; it had taken down two submarines and a warship, yet it hadn't been caught yet.

If there were a few more of these, wouldn't that wipe them out completely?

"That's the information we've received," Yan Tian said. "There are still quite a few warships searching that area."

"Could it be a deliberate attempt to mislead people?" Xu Yue said. "The real is made to appear fake, and the fake is made to appear real."

“Given their style of doing things, they shouldn’t do that,” Yan Tian said. “Tuna are deep-sea fish, and the ocean is their home ground, so escape is not impossible.”

"So you came to me this time because you want me to search for you, right?" Xu Yue said. "The ocean is vast, how can you search? Or does your Special Administration Bureau possess a kind of aura tracking technique that can be used in the ocean, or some other method of searching?"

Even farmers have their own methods of tracking auras.

That was a supernatural technique created to track down lost poultry and livestock.

It's perfect for finding people and strange beasts these days.

The key is to have the right breath.

If there's not even a fart's scent in the sea, then tracking techniques are completely useless.

"Mystical methods are of little use on the high seas," Yan Tian said. "The Yin-Yang School seems to be skilled in divination; I wonder if they can predict it?"

"You'll have to ask Ning Yun about that," Xu Yue said. "I really don't know anything about divination."

"I'll ask you later," Yan Tian said. "I came to you this time to ask if the binding formation and binding techniques can be passed on to outsiders?"

"can."

Xu Yue did not harbor any selfish motives.

That was also a magical formation created by farmers specifically for poultry and livestock.

Once imprisoned, they can be easily captured and killed.

“This is a farmer’s magical array. I can’t guarantee whether you can learn it or how powerful it will be,” Xu Yue said. “I’ll give you a few more sets of array talismans, and you should be able to use them too.”

"Thank you very much."

Yan Tian did not refuse.

They didn't know whether those supernatural powers required true qi to be used.

However, if there are array symbols, the array should be able to be activated by communicating with it.

Having these sets of equipment means you'll have another option if you encounter a powerful mutated beast.

"How many mutated beasts has the Special Administration Bureau found?" Xu Yue asked. "And what kinds of them are they?"

"We found some, but they're nowhere near as good as that giant octopus," Yan Tian said. "It's hard to say how useful they'll be in the school lab. By the way, there are mutated fish in the Chilongtan Reservoir. How about we catch a couple and send them to the lab?"

“Catch it yourself,” Xu Yue said. “Besides tasting a bit better, that fish probably isn’t very useful.”

Yan Tian just smiled. Whether it works or not is up to the lab to decide.

However, Xu Yue must have caught and eaten it.

Those fish shouldn't pose a threat in the short term, otherwise Xu Yue wouldn't have let them roam freely.

Yan Tian chatted for a while, then went to find Ning Yun.

“My cultivation level isn’t high enough. If I had their aura, I might be able to try. But I can’t do divination out of thin air,” Ning Yun said, shaking his head. “Besides, those strange beasts are extraordinary creatures, blessed by heaven and earth, making divination even more difficult.”

The higher the level of those strange beasts, the more difficult it is to predict their fate.

Just like with people, those who try to divine the fate of highly skilled cultivators are most likely to suffer a backlash.

"Does the Yin-Yang School possess any related supernatural abilities?" Yan Tian asked. "Currently, the whole world is searching for exotic beasts, and the United States has obtained what appears to be the flesh and blood of an exotic beast that is even more powerful than the giant octopus."

"No," Ning Yun said. "However, why is Director Yan in such a hurry? The situation abroad is simply that the gap between their cultivation and ours is widening, and they can only catch up in other ways. But whether they can catch up or not, who can say for sure now?"

Yan Tian nodded.

China still holds the advantage.

Whether it's the cultivation world or gene technology, etc.

Moreover, the strength of a country is not determined solely by these factors.

But Yan Tian couldn't control the rest.

He cannot allow his jurisdiction to be weaker than that of other countries.

"Didn't you ask Xu Yue?" Ning Yun said, looking at Yan Tian. "The Farmer's School should have corresponding supernatural abilities."

“The farmers have the art of tracking, but it’s useless on the open sea,” Yan Tian said. “It’s hard to say whether the farmers’ ancestors ever saw the sea, but they probably never went out to sea to fish.”

“Then you can go to the Taoist sect and ask,” Ning Yun suggested. “The Taoist sect should have the art of beast taming, and they should also have the means to track down exotic beasts.”

"I asked the old Celestial Master," Yan Tian said. "As for whether it has been lost or never existed at all, it's hard to say, but the Taoist sect certainly doesn't have the art of beast taming now."

"Sigh!" Ning Yun sighed and said, "I wonder how many traditions have disappeared into the long river of history."

Yan Tian also remained silent.

Perhaps, those traditions will soon reappear.

The traditions of the agricultural school and the Yin-Yang school emerged.

I heard that the Mo family's legacy has also appeared, but it was only fleeting. I don't know if it has hidden itself or for some other reason.

With Yan Tian gone, Xu Yue's life returned to normal.

But then one day, Xu Jianghe arrived with someone.

The man appeared to be in his early twenties and had reached the second realm of cultivation. What surprised Xu Yue, however, was that he was actually a Qi cultivator.

Cultivation is neither a method of farming nor a method of Yin-Yang philosophy.

It is even different from the methods of cultivating Qi in Taoism and Buddhism.

This means that someone has emerged to carry on the legacy.

“This guy ran off to Zhushan to steal bamboo, and Dahuang discovered him,” Xu Jianghe said. “I sensed them fighting.”

"Stealing bamboo?"

Xu Yue's lips twitched, and he looked at the young man with some confusion, feeling somewhat unable to understand.

Why would a second-level expert run into Peach Blossom Village and steal bamboo instead of other things?

Go to Zhushan and steal a sheep; that would be more promising than stealing bamboo, wouldn't it?

"I've never seen the true energy within you before. Which family do you belong to?" Xu Yue asked the man. "Why are you stealing bamboo? There are cattle and sheep in the bamboo forest. Even one of them would be worth more than bamboo."

"I wanted to buy it, but you wouldn't sell it to me." The man smiled awkwardly and said, "That bamboo possesses spiritual energy; it's of great use to me, so I had no choice."

Xu Yue and Xu Jianghe didn't say anything, they just looked at the man.

"My name is Mo Hong." Knowing what Xu Yue and the others were waiting for, the man introduced himself, "A descendant of the Mo family."
