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

Chapter 510 I just wanted to experience the feeling of flying.

There is more than one method of cultivation among farmers, and Xu Yue has quite a few.

What was passed down was only the incomplete method unearthed from the ancient tomb, which was then perfected by Xu Yue.

Xu Yue has many better ones than that.

The agricultural science and technology college trains students to relatively good standards.

Of course, it's not as good as Xu Yue's, nor as good as Zhang Ruoxi's and Wang Yun's cultivation.

Li Zihan has now naturally gotten even better treatment.

The "Yan Di Hun Yuan Gen Ben Jing" is Xu Yue's cultivation method and also the supreme method of the agricultural school.

Only with the Xu Yue Inheritance Token can one cultivate.

Therefore, even someone as close as Zhang Ruoxi could only cultivate other methods.

The methods of the Yin-Yang school are clearly not limited to one.

The cultivation methods Ning Yun initially practiced, and the cultivation methods he used after obtaining the Yin-Yang School's inheritance token, were different.

Xu Yue actually possessed the cultivation methods of the Yin-Yang School.

Ning Yun gave it to me before.

Yan Tian's question to Ning Yun might have been a test, or it might have been for the purpose of gathering cultivation methods.

People are different, and the methods of cultivation that are suitable for them are also different.

This is normal.

Liu Feifei displayed exceptional talent in cultivating the Yin-Yang School's methods, but the same might not be true if she were to cultivate the Agricultural School's methods.

“If they want it, I’ll give it to them,” Ning Yun said. “As long as it doesn’t involve the fundamental methods of the Yin-Yang School, there’s no problem. Besides, although I never intended to promote the Yin-Yang School, it would be good if more people could cultivate it.”

“With more people practicing, perhaps we can innovate and bring forth new ideas. We are all just feeling our way across the river.” Xu Yue nodded and said, “There’s no need to be so protective of our own knowledge.”

"You're preparing to forge a weapon?" Ning Yun continued, "Are you confident?"

He didn't know how skilled Xu Yue was at weapon crafting.

But she's definitely taller than him.

Or rather, Xu Yue is currently the most skilled weapon refiner in the cultivation world.

This is enough to prove how desolate the spiritual practice community is in this regard today.

"Not big."

Xu Yue thought for a moment and gave an answer.

Not big?

That means it's available.

Ning Yun didn't ask any more questions about it.

"Do you mind if your Sun and Moon Essence Wheel is copied?" Xu Yue asked casually. "If you don't mind, I can borrow it for a couple of days to study it."

“I have no reason to mind, but we’ll have to wait,” Ning Yun said. “I’ve agreed to lend it to Dr. Li Ping for research.”

"Hmm?" Xu Yue looked at Ning Yun with some surprise and said, "Aren't you afraid he'll dismantle your magic weapon?"

“He assured me there would be no damage whatsoever, and I believe him,” Ning Yun said. “Besides, he offered terms that were hard to refuse.”

"What conditions?"

Xu Yue's curiosity was piqued as well.

"A set of materials for forging a flying sword," Ning Yun said. "Later, you can help me forge a flying sword. No man can resist flying on a sword."

“No problem,” Xu Yue said. “Do you have any meteorite iron?”

A crucial element in crafting flying swords is meteorite iron.

“Yes,” Ning Yun said. “After all, I traveled abroad.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue felt a pang of envy.

Why didn't I think of this when I went abroad before?

After chatting for a few minutes, Xu Yue went back to prepare.

He planned to use the power of the formation.

Setting up formations to collect the essence of the solar terms can undoubtedly increase the chances of success.

But how do we collect them?
This requires the use of the farmers' magical technique: the Twenty-Four Solar Terms.

When this supernatural power is cultivated to a high level, one can control the four realms.

Of course, your cultivation level must be up to par.

Xu Yue had a pretty good understanding of this supernatural technique, and if he used the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Order" magic artifact, he could actually do it.

Unfortunately, one of the ritual implements is missing.

If he had all the necessary magical artifacts and used his supernatural powers, Xu Yue, with his cultivation level, could indeed change the seasons.

It's hard to say how large the area will be or how long it will last.

In fact, some of the formations used in farm applications are from the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Formation, but not all of them.

Xu Yue is going to set up a complete array of solar terms this time, especially for "Major Snow".

December arrived in the blink of an eye.

Heavy snow is coming.

It rarely snows in Shuzhou during winter.

Of course, we won't mention it in the mountains.

While Xu Yue was refining weapons, Ning Yun and Xu Jianghe also came out of curiosity.

Zhang Ruoxi was naturally present as well.

She wasn't very interested in weapon crafting, but Xu Yue needed someone to protect him while he was crafting weapons, so as not to be disturbed.

Xu Yue sat cross-legged in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms array, which was set up with array symbols. He first made a replica of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms tokens with the same material, and then activated the array to absorb the solar term aura of "Major Snow" and inject it into the token.

The runes on the token are activated by the influence of the solar term.

This training lasted for 24 hours.

For many people, going a day and a night without food or water might be unbearable, but for Xu Yue, it was nothing.

Not to mention him, even Zhang Ruoxi and others are fine.

"how?"

Seeing Xu Yue looking at the seasonal decree in his hand, Zhang Ruoxi stepped forward and asked him a question.

"It's done, but the seasonal energy isn't as good as the original," Xu Yue said. "The power is naturally greater and not inferior. It will probably take a few years of collecting samples to narrow the gap."

"Can it form a formation?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked if she knew that the Twenty-Four Solar Terms tokens could be used to form a Twenty-Four Solar Terms array.

Those twenty-four tokens were not only magical artifacts in themselves, but also array artifacts.

"Yes, it's possible," Xu Yue nodded and said, "but it will definitely have an impact."

The magical artifact he crafted was weak, and it undoubtedly became a burden.

It is possible to set up an array, but the power of the array will definitely be affected.

"Do the 24 solar terms change depending on the region?" Ning Yun asked. "Just like it's summer in the Southern Hemisphere but winter in the Northern Hemisphere, do the 24 solar terms also change?"

Zhang Ruoxi also looked at Xu Yue with curiosity.

If that's the case, then collecting the essence of the solar terms could indeed shorten the time by half.

Xu Yue shook his head.

“The 24 solar terms reflect the cycle of the sun’s movement,” Xu Yue said. “The lunar calendar is a lunisolar calendar, which is based on both the sun and the moon’s movement. Therefore, incorporating the 24 solar terms can better reflect the cycle of the sun’s movement.”

Does it reflect the sun's orbital period?

Does the sun's reaction change depending on whether it's in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere?
"It's only a few years, you're not in a hurry," Ning Yun said. "Like, have you even used this token after you got it?"

Have you used it?
Of course, I've never used it.

Even without using magical artifacts, he is probably unmatched in the world by relying solely on his supernatural powers.

However, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms are not something to be used for fighting.

"Have you gathered all the materials for your flying sword?" Xu Yue asked Ning Yun. "Let me make this clear: if you ruin it, don't blame me."

"Of course."

Ning Yun nodded. He wanted to play with flying swords; it was a kind of obsession for men.

Nowadays, Xu Yue is probably the only one capable of forging flying swords.

The Taoist sect also has "weapon refiners," but compared to Xu Yue, they are clearly far inferior.

"Call me in a couple of days," Xu Yue said. "I need to recover my energy first." Refining for a whole day and night had naturally depleted a lot of his energy.

If we refine it for Ning Yun now, the success rate will naturally be lower.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard, and the ground shook.

"what happened?"

Xu Jianghe quickly asked.

Xu Yue scanned it with his divine sense and it vanished instantly.

"Over at Zhushan!"

Xu Jianghe then said something else and quickly headed in that direction.

The staff break room in Zhushan was now a complete mess.

Zhushan has raised a lot of cattle and sheep, and previously built a rest room for the employees who looked after and fed the cattle and sheep.

After Mo Hong arrived, he stayed here.

His current job is to look after the cattle and sheep.

Other staff members are responsible for feeding the animals.

As for setting up traps and mechanisms in the corresponding areas of the farm, that will have to wait until he has practiced for a while.

He is still in the exploratory stage and there are no plans to put it into practice for the time being.

He stayed in this rest room mainly so that it would be convenient for him to cut spirit bamboo for research.

"I did not do it on purpose."

When Mo Hong saw Xu Yue suddenly appear, he smiled awkwardly, like a child who had made a mistake.

His injuries are quite serious.

Xu Yue didn't say anything, picked it up, and then used his supernatural powers to instantly get to the school.

"Scared me."

Xu Zixu was indeed startled when Xu Yue suddenly appeared with his men, but he quickly recovered.

How could he not know Xu Yue's extraordinary abilities?

He has seen quite a few people like that nowadays.

"What happened to him?" Xu Chengyang asked. "He's badly injured."

Xu Yue remained silent and instead looked at Mo Hong.

"I wanted to make a flying kite, but the connection of energy failed and it exploded."

Mo Hong smiled awkwardly and explained the reason.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengyang looked at Xu Yue with a puzzled expression.

Making a flying kite?

When did Taoyuan Village get such an amazing person?

“He is a descendant of the Mohist school,” Xu Yue said. “Now that he has joined Taoyuan Village, let’s treat his injuries first.”

As he spoke, Xu Yue took out his phone and called Zhang Ruoxi, briefly explaining the situation.

He was somewhat relieved that he hadn't immediately asked Mo Hong to install any traps or mechanisms on the farm.

If other employees get hurt, then things could get really messed up.

"The flying kite was blown up?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "Is everyone alright? The spirit array here is all destroyed. I'll rearrange the spirit array first."

After exchanging a few words, Xu Yue hung up.

Xu Yue was naturally aware that the explosion had caused problems with the spirit array.

Aside from the considerable explosive power, the main reason was that the rest area was built on top of the array node.

Besides, the formation on the bamboo mountain behind the mountain was set up by Xu Yue in the early days, and it was even set up with fruit trees. As for how stable the formation is, you're overthinking it.

"Safety first."

After finishing his call, Xu Yue saw Mo Hong grimacing in pain and couldn't help but say something.

Mo Hong just gave an awkward smile.

He was indeed a bit too eager for quick success.

"I don't know what the flying kite is considered in the Mo family's mechanical arts, but I imagine it must be quite difficult," Xu Yue said. "I don't understand mechanical arts, but it should be like cultivation, requiring a gradual approach. Even children know that you first learn to crawl, then walk, and then run. What about you? You want to fly right away?"

Mo Hong remained silent. Did he not understand?
how is this possible.

Are there children who learn to walk before they can crawl?
Have.

But these children fall down much more often than other children.

Knowing it's a matter of a moment, but actually doing it is another matter entirely.

The key question is, what's the point of making those ground-based mechanical beasts?

It can't outrun a car, and it probably can't even be hit.

The key question is whether it's permissible to travel on the road.
If traffic police spot them, they will stop them in eight or nine out of ten cases.

Is it possible to get a road driving permit from the relevant department?

It definitely won't work.

Besides, what's more practical than something that flies in the sky?

The key is that he's handsome and stylish enough.

"I just wanted to experience what it's like to fly."

After a long silence, Mo Hong spoke.

However, his words lacked a certain confidence.

“Then you should have felt it,” Xu Yue said. “The explosion wasn’t very powerful, but judging from where you were lying, you were probably blown away.”

There's a difference between "blown up" and "flying".

I wanted to imagine what it would feel like to fly on a mechanical beast, not to be blown away.

“If it weren’t for the protective jade talisman, I don’t know if I would have survived, but my injuries would definitely have been more severe,” Xu Yue continued. “With life, you have everything.”

Mo Hong couldn't refute this.

If he loses his life, no matter how much he has, it will become someone else's.

The explosion was actually quite powerful; if it hadn't been for the protective jade talisman that blocked it, he might have really died young.

He died after failing to create a mechanical beast; I wonder if there were any such people among the ancestors of the Mohist school.

"Take this. It's more powerful than the mass-produced ones." Xu Yue handed over a jade talisman and said, "However, there's a limit to the power it can withstand. You know what will happen if you exceed that limit."

Do you understand?
Nonsense, I just experienced it for myself.

"Thank you!"

Mo Hong didn't stand on ceremony, accepted the gift, and thanked him.

This is something that can save your life; if you refuse it, you'll definitely regret it later.

"Is making mechanical beasts dangerous?" Xu Yue said. "If so, why don't you consider making defensive items first? Like inner armor or something. The Mo family's mechanical arts should have those, right?"

“Yes,” Mo Hong said, “but the material requirements are more stringent.”

"Do you need something spiritual, or some special material?" Xu Yue said. "Go back and talk to my third uncle, then ask the Special Administration Bureau. They'll probably be interested. Of course, it's up to you."

"Special Administration Bureau?"

Mo Hong nodded, but said nothing more.

“You could talk to Dr. Li Ping; he’s a materials science expert,” Xu Yue said. “Many of the magical artifacts I’ve crafted are made from materials he collected. Modern technology can definitely be put to good use.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Hong was somewhat surprised, yet also somewhat enlightened.

Yup!

Why didn't I think of that?

Who says metaphysics can't be combined with science?
"Does he know the difference between the names of ancient materials and those of modern materials?" Mo Hong said. "There are many things that I know how to make and what is needed, but I only know the name and have no idea what they are."

“I’ve done some research and know a bit about it,” Xu Yue said. “As for whether it’s what you need, I don’t know.”

Li Ping had indeed researched this matter, mainly because Xu Yue had frequently asked about it before.

I imagine the Special Administration Bureau has asked quite a few questions as well.

"Where is Dr. Li Ping?" Mo Hong immediately asked. "Where are we now?"
