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

Chapter 517 Ning Yun really went and caught a fox spirit.
Xu Yue exchanged one hundred pills for a vial of blood from the Green Ox, and then rode the Green Ox back to Peach Blossom Village.

"You're just going to ride back like that?"

Ning Yun couldn't help but ask, as he was quite curious about Xu Yue's trip and had followed along.

“Otherwise?” Xu Yue said, “Riding a panda is not news in Taoyuan Village, let alone riding a cow.”

Xu Yue's two sons, along with his younger cousin, have been riding pandas around the village quite a bit, and the news has already spread online.

It has already become a scenic spot in Taoyuan Village.

Whether they've seen it before or not, tourists are used to it and at most take out their phones to take pictures; they're not too surprised.

“The key is that you’re a bit too big,” Ning Yun said. “And quite a few tourists who come here recognize you. A super-rich man riding a bull like that will probably top the trending searches that day.”

"You seem to have a knack for trending topics."

Xu Yue couldn't help but laugh and make a joke.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yun's expression immediately turned sour.

“If you hadn’t brought this up, we would still be good friends,” Ning Yun said. “You’re repaying kindness with enmity.”

Whenever he thinks about trending topics, he thinks about the scandal involving himself and his apprentice.

Luckily, I'm not in the entertainment industry, or I'd be driven crazy by it.

Damn it, how come so many entertainment media outlets are so unscrupulous?

“You’re right,” Xu Yue said. “I think I’ll just walk back.”

There's a big difference between riding a cow back and going back with the cow in charge.

"You found this cow in Shennongjia?" Ning Yun asked. "Are there many animals in this area?"

"I don't know," Xu Yue said. "Besides this blue ox, I also encountered a yellow ox that crosses the mountain. Now that yellow ox is with my grandfather."

"Over-the-mountain yellow?"

Ning Yun looked surprised, but then understood.

Even the same steed as Laozi has appeared, so what's so surprising about the appearance of the Yellow Tiger?

There have been similar rumors about Huangshan in Shennongjia for a long time, haven't there?
“Yes, that Yellow Croaker must have broken through to the sixth realm,” Xu Yue said. “Those two big fangs in its mouth can no longer be hidden. Besides, bringing back a cow is fine, but bringing back a big tiger would be inappropriate. So, we left it in Shennongjia.”

"Medical traditions have been discovered in Shennongjia?" Ning Yun said. "That's why I called your grandfather and Old Xu over there."

"you try!"

Xu Yue handed the jade slip containing the family's medical knowledge to Ning Yun, asking him to give it a try.

Although Ning Yun cultivates the Yin-Yang method, he can refine the Yin-Yang Five Elements Spirit Pearl, and his internal energy has a primordial nature.

Unfortunately, it was useless.

"It seems your true energy contains primordial energy, but it's still somewhat different from that of the medical and agricultural schools," Xu Yue said. "If you're interested later, you can contact my grandfather and the others. They should be able to compile it. However, I can give you the relevant information about injuries to the primordial spirit first."

As Xu Yue spoke, he touched Ning Yun's brow and directly gave Ning Yun the content about the primordial spirit from the medical family's inheritance.

Ning Yun knew this, so naturally she didn't try to dodge.

The content is still quite extensive.

After he had processed what had happened, he didn't know how long he had been standing there.

Xu Yue and the blue ox had disappeared without a trace.

Xu Yue brought a large ox home, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

The cow had no rope, yet it followed Xu Yue obediently.

The key point is that the cow was very big.

It was several sizes bigger than a regular cow.

"Xiao Yue, where did you find this cow?" Xu Chengmin asked. "Was it for breeding?"

Xu Chengmin has now retired and spends his free time strolling around the village.

Occasionally, she would go fishing or play chess with Zhang Ruoxi's grandfather and maternal grandfather.

Of course, he would also occasionally go to the fields to do some farm work and practice his skills, mainly to improve his health.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue was at a loss for words.

He couldn't help but glance at it; it seemed the Green Ox hadn't understood.

I just tricked it into giving me blood, and now I'm trying to trick it into becoming a breeding bull. That doesn't make sense.

Besides, if it really is a calf of a blue ox, would you really kill it and eat it?
“This isn’t it,” Xu Yue said with a smile. “This cow is a bit special; I brought it back to keep as a pet.”

"Oh, is that so?" Xu Chengmin laughed. "If this ox were in the past, it would definitely be a great tool for plowing the fields."

In the past, oxen were used for plowing.

Xu Yue was even more outstanding when he was young, and more importantly, he was expensive.

Usually, several families pool their money to raise it together.

They take turns raising livestock and also take turns cultivating the land.

However, who still uses oxen to plow fields these days?

In particular, Taoyuan Village had already achieved mechanization, even though Taoyuan Village is located in a hilly and mountainous area.

As for pets?

The Xu family even owns pandas, so it's not surprising that they keep a cow as a pet.

However, this cow is really big.

After chatting for a bit, Xu Yue took the blue ox home.

"Woo."

As soon as the blue ox arrived, the big yellow dog, who had been playing with the children in the yard, suddenly bristled and bared its teeth at the blue ox. But when it saw Xu Yue next to it, it immediately whimpered twice and ran behind Zhang Ruoxi to hide.

Where did that dog's ferocity go?

Is it only after realizing there was no danger that one realizes the fear?

Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua didn't react much, clearly unaware of how powerful Qing Niu was.

The three giant pandas, including Da Bao, were clearly not as alert as Da Huang.

What's wrong with Big Yellow?

Wang Yun asked with some doubt.

Big Yellow is just as good as you.

“It’s afraid of that cow.” Zhang Ruoxi said to Xu Yue, “This cow is no ordinary cow; even I feel a chill down my spine.”

Wang Yun was somewhat surprised.

She was aware of the surrounding area, but lacked Da Huang's perception and couldn't discern the true strength of the ox.

Of course, what surprised her the most was that the cow actually made Zhang Ruoxi feel dangerous.

She is someone who has condensed her primordial spirit and entered the fifth realm.

Now, apart from Xu Yue, all five realms are standing at the pinnacle of the world.

“It’s just one step away from the sixth realm,” Xu Yue said. “It was brought out from Shennongjia. However, this is no ordinary ox; it’s a horned blue ox.”

"A rhinoceros?" Zhang Ruoxi exclaimed in surprise, "Just like the mount of Laozi?"

After cultivating, Zhang Ruoxi read many similar rumors and naturally dabbled in mythological novels such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded, while the three children looked up at the blue ox.

"Dad, can we ride this cow?"

One of the children couldn't help but ask a question, which surprised Xu Yue.

"Let's talk about it when you're a bit older."

Xu Yue refused.

He wasn't afraid the child would fall off the cow's back.

Given the physical condition of the three children, they might not get hurt if they fall, but it's still best not to take the risk.

"Where are you planning to keep it?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "With those three dairy cows, or are you going to build it a shed?"

“Look at it,” Xu Yue said. “It’s intelligent.”

How are blue oxen selected?
Perhaps it had been staying alone for too long, so it chose to stay with the three cows.

"Shouldn't it be kept closed?"

The worker responsible for feeding the three dairy cows couldn't help but ask a question.

"Need not."

Xu Yue shook his head; this green ox couldn't be kept in captivity at all.

Unless he personally sets up a grand formation.

But that's obviously unnecessary.

"Give it a try." Xu Yue settled the green ox, then went back and took out the medical family's inheritance jade slip for Zhang Ruoxi and Wang Yun to try.

Zhang Ruoxi was able to activate it, but Wang Yun was not.

Perhaps Wang Yunxiu's farming methods have little to do with medical practices?

Xu Yue did not delve into the reasons.

Even though I don't study medical methods, it's still good to learn about many things.

Therefore, Xu Yue also passed on a lot of medical knowledge from Wang Yun and Xu Chengyang.

"Did your grandfather say when he would be back after going to Shennongjia?"

Xu Jianghe asked, knowing that his father had gone to Shennongjia.

He didn't know what he was going there for or how long he would stay.

"I don't know about that," Xu Yue said. "They're currently repairing a helicopter landing pad over there, so it shouldn't take long to get it back."

"I'll make time to go take a look later," Xu Jianghe said. "The New Year is just around the corner now."

Xu Jianghe hadn't gone yet, but Ning Yun couldn't resist going.

His purpose differed from Xu Jianghe's.

He was traveling to Shennongjia to find a mount.

Xu Yue got a mount just like the one worn by Laozi, which really excited him.

That's so classy.

Previously, I hadn't paid attention to Xu Yue's child riding a giant panda all over the village, but now I've come to realize it.

His kids all have rides now.

Who knows, by the time his children grow up, those three giant pandas will have evolved into iron-eating beasts.

This vehicle is way more prestigious than Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Land Rover, or anything like that.

As for rhubarb?

Did you see that Erlang Shen's mount was the Howling Celestial Dog?

That's a pet.

However, having such a pet is quite impressive.

So, on this trip to Shennongjia, if we can't find a high-class mount, we'll find a high-class pet.

It's at least more potent than rhubarb.

"Be careful!" Xu Yue said. "There might be people in Shennongjia who are more powerful than you. The key is that there are many large formations left behind there."

Xu Yue simply gave some instructions.

He didn't explore it carefully, nor was he interested in exploring it.

However, he wasn't too worried about Ning Yun's safety.

It's not just because Ning Yun is powerful enough, and he has many life-saving abilities, but more importantly, this kid has strong luck.

"What do you think would happen if Ning Yun brought back a fox spirit?"

When Zhang Ruoxi learned that Ning Yun had gone to Shennongjia, she immediately made a joke.

"How dare you think about it."

Xu Yue shook his head, but what they didn't expect was that Ning Yun actually brought back a white fox from Shennongjia.

"What's your expression?"

Ning Yun noticed the strange expressions on Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi's faces and was immediately puzzled.

“Little White is at the fourth realm,” Ning Yun said. “Although it can’t be used as a mount, it’s still a great pet, much better than Big Yellow.”

Da Huang is currently only at the second or third realm, definitely not as good as Bai Hu at the fourth realm.

"It's nothing. When you went to Shennongjia before, Ruoxi joked that if you brought back a fox spirit, Qin Qing might not let you go home," Xu Yue said. "Did you go home?"

"It's not a fox spirit, at least not yet," Ning Yun said, both amused and exasperated. "Qin Qing adores Xiao Bai; she almost didn't let me bring it out."

"Why did you bring it?" Xu Yue asked with a smile. "To show off that you're of a higher cultivation level than Da Huang? Don't you even know how old Da Huang is?"

That white fox is definitely bigger than Big Yellow.

Ning Yun gave an awkward smile.

He really did bring Xu Yue here to show off.

Putting aside its quality, this looks much better than the big yellow one.

"Uncle, can I hug you?"

The child walked up to Ning Yun and asked, his eyes full of expectation.

The same applies to the other two children.

"You have good taste, take it."

Ning Yun handed over the white fox, smiling as he spoke.

The white fox seemed somewhat unwilling, but it did not struggle and let the child hold it.

However, that expression gave the impression of utter despair.

This white fox is intelligent.

As for how it compares to the Green Ox, that remains to be seen.

However, Xu Yue felt that it was inferior in some ways.

A mythical beast is a mythical beast.

“Your daughter has much better taste than you,” Ning Yun said. “When I came back, I ran into your third uncle. He probably has some ideas too.”

"He wants to capture a vixen?"

It was Wang Yun who spoke, but she wasn't angry; instead, she seemed somewhat expectant.

She seems to want a pet like a white fox.

As for rhubarb?

That's too naughty.

"Oh."

Ning Yun was at a loss for words.

"He probably wants to capture a mount."

Xu Yue smiled and "explained" for a moment, then took out a pill and had the child feed it to the white fox.

The white fox's eyes lit up at the sight of the child, and after eating it, it became much more affectionate towards the child.

Ning Yun's lips twitched slightly.

Should we take the white fox with us?

Otherwise, if it were bribed and then betrayed us, wouldn't we be at a huge loss?

Ning Yun felt a little regretful for bringing the white fox along to show off.

"Have you explored the entire Shennongjia area?" Xu Yue asked. "Did you find anything?"

Shennongjia is very large, but for them, it's just so-so.

"No," Ning Yun shook his head and said, "I went to that valley to check on the yellow cat that was crossing the mountain, and then wandered around the area. In some places, it was difficult to enter with spiritual sense, giving people a feeling of unease. Of course, the main reason why I didn't stay in Shennongjia for long was that I encountered a group of golden monkeys. If I hadn't run fast, I probably would have gotten beaten up."

"That monkey king is very powerful."

Xu Yue asked with a smile, but the image of Ning Yun being chased and fleeing in a sorry state by a group of monkeys flashed through his mind.

“Impressive, probably at the fifth realm,” Ning Yun said. “I once used my escape technique, but I still couldn’t shake it off. Are you interested in meeting that monkey king?”

"So what if we meet?" Xu Yue said. "Are you trying to get me to get revenge for you? Golden monkeys are a first-class protected animal."

What protected animals?
They've already reached the fifth realm; they're considered dangerous individuals and need to be controlled.

“I smelled a fragrance of wine on that golden monkey. How should I put it? It smelled even better than the Peach Blossom Spring Immortal Wine,” Ning Yun said. “I suspect that the monkeys brewed monkey wine.”

Monkey wine?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yue understood what Ning Yun was planning.

To be honest, he was actually quite tempted.

He was still very curious about the legendary monkey wine.

If I have the chance to try it, I certainly won't miss it.

“Go if you want to.” Zhang Ruoxi saw Xu Yue looking at her and understood immediately. She then said, “If there really is monkey wine, I would like to try it too. Is it really as good as the rumors say? Taoyuan Winery also makes fruit wine, but is the difference really that big?”

“Farmers actually have their own methods of brewing wine,” Xu Yue said. “I’ll give it a try later.”

"Dad, are monkeys fun? Can you catch one and bring it home?"

The child suddenly asked a question, and Xu Yue immediately looked at Zhang Ruoxi.

Shouldn't this little guy be disciplined?

If it's fun, we'll take it home to play with?
How can this be done?
