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

Chapter 508 If you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself.
The name "Sun and Moon Essence Wheel" was given to him by Xu Yue.

Ning Yun's magical artifact, which combines offense and defense, is called: The Mysterious Law of Yin and Yang Mutual Generation: Two Wheels of Sun and Moon Hanging at the Heavenly Gate.

The person who chose this name was definitely a genius, but he's somewhat wasted now.

Ning Yun seemed to think so too, which is why he changed the name of his magical artifact.

The Sun and Moon Essence Wheel is a supreme treasure of the Yin-Yang school, far superior to the Buddhist beads of Monk Yande.

Of course, it is also possible that Monk Yande was not as proficient in Buddhist supernatural powers as Ning Yun was in Yin-Yang supernatural powers.

Regardless of the reason, Ning Yun broke his supernatural power and destroyed his magical artifact in one move.

The Moon Essence Wheel went straight for him.

Seeing this, Monk Yande remained calm. He took out a bowl from his sleeve, held it in one hand, and flicked it with his other finger.

"when!"

A crisp sound rang out, and bursts of golden light formed a protective shield, blocking the attack from the Moon Essence Wheel.

Ning Yun glanced at the alms bowl in Monk Yande's hand.

This alms bowl is actually a defensive magical artifact?
When the Moon Wheel attacked again, Monk Yande did not use the alms bowl to defend himself. Instead, he dodged to the side and threw the alms bowl at Ning Yun.

The alms bowl instantly floated above Ning Yun's head, seemingly growing larger, and then descended upon Ning Yun.

Ning Yun's Sun Essence Wheel hovered in front of him, forming a protective shield that blocked the alms bowl.

At the same time, Ning Yun rushed towards Monk Yande, who was being attacked by the Moon Essence Wheel and was dodging in a sorry state.

We've compared supernatural powers and magical artifacts, so let's compare close-quarters combat skills next.

The alms bowl missed its target and immediately returned to Yan De's hand, unlike Ning Yun's Moon Essence Wheel, which could continue to attack.

Monk Yande also practiced martial arts, but his skills were not necessarily profound. Moreover, he had to guard against the Moon Essence Wheel's attacks. After exchanging a few blows with Ning Yun, he was directly knocked to the ground by Ning Yun's Sun Essence Wheel.

The Sun Wheel can also be attacked.

With the outcome decided, Ning Yun did not deliver the final blow. He put away the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel and returned directly to where he had been standing.

“Master Yande, it seems your Buddhist sect isn’t so confident after all?” Ning Yun said calmly. “There are several people like me in Taoyuan Village. Have you ever seen the people of Taoyuan Village being arrogant and domineering? It’s really hard to understand why Buddhists have become like this.”

Monk Yande was helped up, but he didn't say anything.

What can be said?
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.

"If you won't give it to me, then I'll take it myself!"

Ning Yun's expression changed, and he waved his hand, heading straight for Jue An, the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

Yan De tried to help, but aggravated his injuries, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, so he could not rush to help.

Jue'an was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fell unconscious.

"You'd better watch yourself. If there's a next time, it won't be so easy to get away with it."

Ning Yun said something, then turned and left with Liu Feifei and Li Zihan.

"Master Yande, how much of the Buddha-nature has the Buddhist community retained these days? You say that Buddhism is a pure place, but has Shaolin ever been pure?"

Chen He glanced at the Shaolin monks, who were indignant but dared not make a move, said something to Monk Yande, and then left with the Special Administration Bureau personnel.

"Amitabha!"

Monk Yande chanted a Buddhist prayer, but said nothing more.

This time, Shaolin Temple has failed, and Buddhism has failed as well.

However, it also served as a reminder to Buddhism.

Buddhism can no longer be like it was before.

Shaolin's contribution to the development of Buddhism is undeniable.

However, as spiritual practice becomes increasingly important, worldly wealth and fame will certainly have less and less influence on the development and propagation of Buddhism.

The importance of spiritual practice is becoming increasingly significant.

The Taoist sect was ahead of them, mainly because the Taoist sect had a better relationship with the government.

The Special Administrative Region Administration's attitude this time speaks volumes.

If it were someone from the Taoist sect who caused this trouble, the Special Administration Bureau would probably have intervened long ago.

It's simply a matter of reaping what you sow; Monk Yande naturally understood this.

It's not that the Buddhist community doesn't want to support the Special Administration Bureau, but rather that even the most skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients.

There are limited Buddhist masters, and they are also quite busy.

What the development needs of Buddhism should naturally be given priority.

This also reflects the difference in philosophies between Taoism and Buddhism.

But now it's probably very difficult to change things.

Monk Yande sighed and looked at the seriously injured Jue'an.

Jue An is now at the fourth level. If it were before, he would have been a top-tier figure in the cultivation world. But what about now?

However, he was no match for Ning Yun.

Ning Yun was holding back and didn't intend to kill him; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to save his own life.

Ning Yun is not the only person like this in Taoyuan Village.

Xu Yue is much better than him.

In addition, I heard that Xu Jianghe and his son Xu Chengyang have also broken through abroad and entered the fifth realm.

They are Xu Yue's closest relatives, and the resources they have received are probably unimaginable.

Nowadays, everyone in the cultivation world knows that Peach Blossom Village possesses unimaginable cultivation resources.

They will definitely improve very quickly.

In addition, it is said that Madam Xu Yue, Zhang Ruoxi, is also close to the fifth realm, but she has been holding back from breaking through.

With the support of Taoyuan Village's cultivation resources, it's not impossible for the current fourth-realm experts in Taoyuan Village to break through to the fifth realm.

Guo Tianyou, Liu Chengji, Li Zhuting
The world has changed.

This is no longer an era where Buddhism can be sustained by the four realms alone.

Even someone at the fifth level can't hold on any longer.

"They didn't give it their all!"

On the way, Li Zihan suddenly spoke up.

"Not using your full strength?" Liu Feifei asked doubtfully. "Does it mean that only attacking together counts as using your full strength?"

“It’s no use if they all attack together,” Li Zihan said. “No one can withstand a single blow from your master’s magic weapon except for that old monk. When I said I didn’t use my full strength, it was because I sensed fluctuations in the array around us, but they didn’t take advantage of the array.”

Liu Feifei looked at Ning Yun, clearly wanting to confirm.

“There is indeed a formation on the mountain,” Ning Yun nodded and said, “This is somewhat unexpected. However, it’s not hard to understand why they didn’t use the formation. After all, it’s not a matter of life and death.”

"What if they use the power of the formation?" Liu Feifei asked. "Master, can you still win so easily?"

As for losing?
Liu Feifei had never even considered it.

She had seen Ning Yun spar with Western masters before, and the spectacle was far greater than today's.

"My master didn't use his full strength when he fought that monk. Although it's a mountain-protecting formation, it's somewhat damaged," Ning Yun said. "The reason they didn't move today might be, as I said before, that they haven't reached a life-or-death situation yet, or perhaps they simply can't control it."

“If they dare to make a move, I dare to break through,” Ning Yun said. “If it were a complete battle, breaking through might be a bit difficult, but it’s just a broken one, so breaking through isn’t hard.”

“Perhaps they have this in mind as well,” Li Zihan said. “If that great formation is broken, it will affect the entire Shaoshi Mountain, and their Shaolin sect will be greatly affected.”

Li Zihan also had some knowledge of formations, but she was not as good as Ning Yun.

As for Liu Feifei, it's unclear whether she hasn't yet encountered this knowledge or is only in a stage of having a superficial understanding.

“If you are interested in formations, I can teach you. I also have some research on formations, though of course I can’t compare to her master.” Ning Yun said to Liu Feifei, “In the art of formations, I estimate that no one in the entire cultivation world can compare to his master. The spirit formations of the various sects and gates of the Daoist sects are basically his creations.”

"Calculate?"

Liu Feifei was puzzled. If it is, then it is; if it isn't, then it isn't. What kind of nonsense is this?

“Qingcheng, Wudang, Longhu Mountain, and Qiyun Mountain were arranged by him personally,” Ning Yun said. “The rest were arranged by the students from the school. Those people who arranged them naturally count too.”

Liu Feifei was naturally aware of Xu Yue's prowess.

The number one person in the world!
This isn't self-proclaimed; it's a globally recognized fact.

Chen He quickly caught up with the three, and the group went down the mountain.

Ning Yun greeted Chen He, then took Li Zihan directly back to Taoyuan Village.

Liu Feifei did not accompany them; she returned to Yanjing.

She has her own job.

then
"Not home yet?"

When Xu Yue saw Ning Yun, he asked with a smile.

"Isn't this to bring your apprentice back? I also brought him here to sit for a while." Ning Yun said.

"I think you should go back as soon as possible?"

Xu Yue said with a smile, but for some reason, Ning Yun felt that he was gloating.

"What happened?"

Ning Yun couldn't help but ask, "If something happened at home, Xu Yue certainly wouldn't have this expression."

Then the problem lies with yourself.

Gleeful, and with a smug, gossipy expression?
what happened?
Xu Yue smiled, then took out his phone, opened a webpage, and handed it to Ning Yun.

Ning Yun was puzzled. He picked up his phone and looked at it. His lips twitched, and he was speechless.

Xu Yue showed him the trending topics list.

Naturally, Liu Feifei was at the top of the list for beating up the Shaolin master.

The third most popular topic was "Liu Feifei's suspected relationship exposed," and the fourth most popular topic was "Liu Feifei traveling with a mysterious man."

The mysterious man was Ning Yun.

"You said you went to Shaolin Temple to get an explanation for Liu Feifei, but you ended up being her rumored boyfriend. Shouldn't you go home and explain to your wife?"

Xu Yue chuckled and made a joke.

"You're just gloating," Ning Yun said. "There were so many people in the group, why were only Liu Feifei and me photographed? Your apprentice and Chen He's group from the Special Administration Bureau were there too. How is it just sightseeing, and how is it boyfriend?"

“Your apprentice works in entertainment,” Xu Yue said. “Isn’t that how it is in the entertainment industry?”

"You didn't push her to you in the first place just to cause this kind of trouble, did you?" Ning Yun said. "It definitely is. After all, you're quite famous. Compared to the mysterious man, it seems more appealing and feasible for the public to have a scandal with a female celebrity as a tycoon."

"You're overthinking it. The main reason I'm not accepting her is because it's impossible for her to leave the cultivation world and come to Peach Blossom Village to farm," Xu Yue said, shaking his head. "You're not unaware of the early limitations of the Farmer's Cultivation Method."

“Qin Qing knew about this trip to Shaolin,” Ning Yun said. “Besides, your disciple is with you. We have that much trust between us as husband and wife, so there’s no need to rush back.”

"Many voices can melt metal, and accumulated slander can destroy a person," Xu Yue said. "Look at what's being said online, it's so convincing, and there are even pictures to prove it."

“There are pictures, but they don’t tell the truth!” Ning Yun rolled his eyes and said, “Forget it, I’ll go find your apprentice and have her take some screenshots and send them to Fei Fei.”

What kind of pictures should I send?
It's naturally a picture of a group of people.

As long as it's not a man and a woman alone together, then any rumors will naturally fall apart.

"She recorded it?" Xu Yue was surprised, then said, "Have her send me a copy of the video later, I want to see the methods of Buddhism."

“The Buddhist tradition has been passed down to this day, and perhaps many things have been lost, but we must admit that they also have their unique strengths,” Ning Yun said. “Monk Yande is no match for me, even without using any ritual implements.”

“After all, he has only been in the fifth realm for a short time. How much time do he have to study Buddhist supernatural powers?” Xu Yue said. “How far can he practice Buddhist supernatural powers? Buddhism is a foreign religion, yet it has developed to such a scale in China. How could it not have some unique features?”

“The Buddhist path has gone astray,” Ning Yun said. “Of course, that’s just my opinion. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely be overshadowed by the Taoists.”

"What if the world doesn't change, and cultivation doesn't flourish?" Xu Yue said. "There are over 30,000 Buddhist temples and more than 200,000 monks and nuns. As for Taoist temples? There are less than 10,000, and Taoist priests number no more than 50,000."

"It's just a matter of reaping what you sow," Ning Yun said. "So what if there are several times more monks and nuns than Taoists? What percentage of them are truly practicing? Whether they are experts or ordinary practitioners, Taoism is far superior to Buddhism."

"They're busy saving all living beings," Xu Yue said with a smile, "but the Taoist sect is focused on cultivating immortality."

Ning Yun smiled, naturally understanding the meaning behind Xu Yue's words.

He didn't stay long, chatted about his experience fighting Yande, and then left.

This was also the reason he came to find Xu Yue.

After all, Xu Yue had previously asked him to explore the methods of Buddhism.

Although not many methods were discovered, it wasn't a complete loss either.

Not long after, Li Zihan sent over a video.

"Take a look too."

Xu Yue handed the phone to Zhang Ruoxi.

"what?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked casually.

"The duel between Ning Yun and Yan De," Xu Yue said, "it's good to know about it."

"It seems that Buddhism is not lacking in supernatural powers and ritual implements."

After watching it, Zhang Ruoxi gave a comment.

If given time, Yan De would certainly have more options, and the supernatural power he would unleash would undoubtedly be even greater.

In addition, Yan De also took out two magical artifacts.

Although it cannot compare to Ning Yun's Sun and Moon Essence Wheel, it is definitely not inferior, especially that alms bowl.

“The magical artifacts in Peach Blossom Village are a bit few and somewhat limited,” Zhang Ruoxi said to Xu Yue with a smile. “We’ll have to take a look at them later.”

“You forgot that a descendant of the Mohist school has come to the farm,” Xu Yue said. “However, there’s no rush. The magical artifacts we have now should be enough.”

What magical artifacts does Taoyuan Village possess?
There are protective jade talismans for defense, but they can only block one attack.

For some cultivators, it is actually not very effective.

In addition, there is the attack weapon that Xu Yue imitated and crafted by a stone mill.

Of course, Xu Yue also possesses flying swords, spirit orbs, and other items.

"Let's ask Ning Yun later and borrow his Sun and Moon Essence Wheel to study it and see if we can replicate it," Zhang Ruoxi said. "It's a combination of offense and defense, and even if its power isn't as great, it would still be excellent. But isn't this a bit taboo?"

“That Sun and Moon Essence Wheel is a top-tier magical artifact of the Yin-Yang School, containing the principles of Yin and Yang. It would be difficult to replicate it,” Xu Yue said. “I’ll think about it some more later. It wouldn’t hurt to ask him.”
