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

Chapter 521 The Grandfather and Grandson Principal

Guo Tianyou is already at the peak of the fourth realm, and is almost one step away from the fifth realm.

In retrospect, his travels through the mountains abroad weren't entirely fruitless. However, this trip back is probably not for a breakthrough, but rather to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

Although those in the Fourth Realm are not at the pinnacle of the world, they are definitely considered experts, so there is no need to rush to break through.

Moreover, breaking through to the fifth realm is not so easy.

He might be in some danger abroad, but people from the Five Realms abroad might not dare to lay a hand on him.

Xu Yue still wields considerable influence.

"I acquired a Dragon-Seeking Plate from a collector abroad, and received a boost during the refining process," Guo Tianyou said. "Although I didn't use it to break through, my foundation should be more solid now."

Xu Yue looked at Guo Tianyou again, and indeed, as he said, his foundation was stronger than before.

Then, Xu Yue's gaze fell on the Dragon-Seeking Compass in Guo Tianyou's hand.

In his view, it seemed no different from a regular compass.

"Can the Dragon-Searching Plate be used to find the dragon vein?"

Xu Yue asked, "If that's the case, then things will be much easier."

“We can search for the dragon vein,” Guo Tianyou said, “but if we can’t do it in advance, it won’t be of much use.”

Guo Tianyou went abroad to search for a dragon vein that was about to take shape, in order to catch the surge of spiritual energy when the dragon vein was formed.

The usefulness of the Dragon-Seeking Compass is indeed somewhat outdated.

“If there is a dragon vein or a spiritual vein, then let Zhao Zixu and his sister find a way to buy it.” Xu Yue thought for a moment and said, “Whether it’s building a villa or something else, let’s occupy a place abroad with abundant spiritual energy.”

In China, places with dragon veins or spiritual veins usually have Taoist temples or Buddhist temples.

Peach Blossom Village is nice, but who would complain about having too many of these things?
Moreover, Taoyuan Village doesn't necessarily have to be located among those famous mountains and rivers.

"it is good!"

Guo Tianyou naturally had no objection to this.

Moreover, the company is not short of money now, and it will go global sooner or later.

"Let me know in advance when you break through, and I can protect you." Xu Yue said, then added, "By the way, try not to explore those mysterious places abroad. Shennongjia has animals of the fifth and sixth realms, and I reckon there are definitely some places abroad with them too."

Guo Tianyou nodded. He was going abroad to find a dragon vein that was about to take shape, not to go on an adventure or explore mysteries.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to take such a risk.

He had been back for more than a day or two, and naturally he had heard that Xu Yue had brought back a cow that was nearly at the sixth level of the realm from Shennongjia.

It is said to be the same mount as that of Laozi (the founder of Taoism).

A blue ox with flat horns? A rhinoceros?

However, Guo Tianyou couldn't figure it out.

In his view, it was just much larger than a regular water buffalo.

Of course, he felt a little uneasy in front of that blue ox.

Guo Tianyou is back, and Liu Chengji is back too.

Both of them had the same goal: to come back for the Chinese New Year.

Liu Chengji's cultivation level was comparable to Guo Tianyou's, and he was only one step away from the fifth realm.

In comparison, Lee Joo-ting is somewhat behind.

However, if we proceed step by step and with the support of farm resources, we will eventually achieve a breakthrough.

The next day, Wang Haolin and the others arrived early.

Feng Jie and his wife also came.

Xiong Yan and Lu Zhenyu also came.

There was another unexpected person, Liu Feifei.

She came to visit Wang Yun, and also to ask Ning Yun for advice on cultivation-related questions.

Ning Yun and his wife also came.

They are all young people.

Besides, Ning Yun and Feng Jie knew each other.

The key point is that Qin Qing has a good relationship with Xiong Yan, Mu Xiaoyan and others.

The Xu family home was bustling with activity once again.

"Watch the cattle!"

When Wang Haolin and the others arrived, they immediately became interested when they heard that Xu Yue had brought back a cow from Shennongjia.

After seeing it, I felt it was just bigger than a regular cow, nothing special.

"The horned ox, the same mount as Laozi, is quite prestigious," Ning Yun said with a smile. "I also wanted to find one, but unfortunately I couldn't. However, I'm not bad either; I brought back a fox and a golden eagle. They're not that powerful, only at the fourth realm."

"The Four Realms?"

Wang Haolin and the others were surprised.

They naturally saw the fox that Qin Qing was holding in her arms.

Mu Xiaoyan couldn't help but hug him.

Their cultivation level was not low, so naturally they couldn't see anything, just as they couldn't see anything special about the Green Ox.

“That’s right!” Ning Yun said, “He’s only slightly higher than Xu Yue’s Da Huang in terms of cultivation level.”

rhubarb?

Wang Haolin and the others were naturally familiar with each other; they had known each other for a long time.

Back then, they were fishing in the wild at Qinglongtan, while Dahuang followed Xu Yue to the mountains to dig up wild tea trees.

At that time, Dahuang was just a little more intelligent than the average dog.

If the fourth realm is only slightly higher, then wouldn't it be the third realm?
"So you guys need to work harder," Xu Yue said. "Right now, you can't even beat my dog."

"Worse than a dog!"

These four words suddenly flashed into their minds.

"Now that you mention it, my good mood for coming to your house for a free meal is completely ruined," Wang Haolin shook his head and said. "We're still trying our best."

"Have you been working hard?" Xu Yue asked. "Liu Feifei has already reached the third realm."

Wang Haolin and the others were speechless.

Liu Feifei started cultivating right after them.

They were naturally aware of this.

Liu Feifei is currently very popular and receives numerous invitations, so her cultivation time is obviously not as ample as theirs.

However, Liu Feifei's rapid progress was largely due to her incredible luck, having experienced three waves of spiritual energy.

Of course, she herself worked very hard.

“They’re not far from the third realm either,” Ning Yun said. “Unlike your disciple, who’s probably close to the fourth realm in both realms, right?”

"Zihan?" Xu Yue said, "It's been a long time since I've seen her. It should be soon."

Li Zihan's talent is far superior to Liu Feifei's.

He should be the most talented among all of them.

With ample resources and a master like Xu Yue, their cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, which did not surprise Wang Haolin and the others.

They never even considered comparing themselves to that little girl.

Let's not talk about these sad things.

“Let’s go back and play cards!” Shen Yu said. “This afternoon we’re going to fish for crayfish, eels, and soft-shelled turtles. By the way, have any of the soft-shelled turtles in the pond broken through their limits? And with the crayfish and crabs breaking through their limits again and again, will they become the legendary shrimp soldiers and crab generals?”

"I don't know," Xu Yue shook his head and said, "I haven't been to the turtle pond in a long time. As for whether I'll become a shrimp soldier or crab general or something, I don't know. As for the villagers, that's definitely not the case."

"Before becoming shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they'll definitely end up in our bellies first," Ning Yun said with a smile. "However, it's hard to say what's in the ocean. A submarine and warship of a major power on the other side were wrecked by a tuna. It's really hard to say what's in the ocean. Personally, I think it's more dangerous than Shennongjia. Perhaps one day, the ocean will become a forbidden zone for mankind."

Everyone remained silent; they did not believe Ning Yun was exaggerating.

However, they were too lazy to worry about it; if the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up.

Back at the villa, Feng Jie and his wife arrived.

They stopped talking about cultivation and went off to play cards or mahjong.

As for Xiong Yan and Lu Zhenyu, they arrived even later. They were busy.

Lunch was, of course, very lavish.

After dinner, we went fishing for lobsters, turtles, etc. As for fishing?
It's great for Wang Haolin and his friends to change things up occasionally when they don't go fishing.

However, the children had the most fun.

In the evening, the main dishes are lobster, eel, and soft-shelled turtle.

After dinner, everyone went home.

Apart from Liu Feifei, no one else stayed overnight.

Liu Feifei did not stay overnight at Xu Yue's house.

When leaving, it was natural to take some wine with you.

Wang Haolin and others own houses in Taoyuan Village.

They stayed one night and then left.

I went home to see my parents.

They never intended to enjoy those drinks alone.

“Feifei wants to build a villa in Ningjiawan Village,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “However, Ning Yun suggested that she come to Taoyuan Village instead.”

Ning Yun didn't live in Taoyuan Village, but he did own a villa, which was part of his welfare benefits.

However, his parents lived in Ningjiawan Village and were used to life there, so they didn't live in Taoyuan Village at all, but instead built a villa in Ningjiawan Village.

Although a spirit array was set up, it was still far inferior to Peach Blossom Village.

Liu Feifei built a villa in Ningjiawan Village because her master was there, making it convenient for her to cultivate.

Ning Yun suggested she go to Peach Blossom Village because it was more conducive to cultivation.

Taoyuan Village has a much stronger spiritual atmosphere than Ningjiawan Village.

Not only does the village have a spiritual array, but Qinglongtan also has a dragon vein.

“Just buy her a villa,” Xu Yue said. “She’s not exactly an employee of the farm, so it’s impossible to give her one. Anyway, she doesn’t need that kind of money.”

As a popular celebrity with her own studio, Liu Feifei is naturally not short of money.

Putting everything else aside, the endorsements alone are astonishing.

She is now the spokesperson for all of Cheng Yueting's brands, and the endorsement fee she receives is the highest in the industry.

“There aren’t many villas left over there, and cultivation isn’t as difficult as it used to be, so there’s a constant stream of people breaking through,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “We don’t have enough villas.”

“If it’s not enough, we’ll build more,” Xu Yue said. “There are plenty of places in Taoyuan Village suitable for building villas. If that doesn’t work, we can also consider Qinghe Village.”

Qinghe Village is also very close to Qinglongtan, but the spirit array is set up further back, so it is not as good as Taoyuan Village.

"Tell Lao Tian to arrange for someone to do it."

These matters naturally do not require Xu Yue's personal involvement, nor does Tian Yizhi's personal involvement.

Even after the villa is built, setting up the spirit array won't require Xu Yue's intervention; there are plenty of people in Peach Blossom Village who can handle it.

Two days later, Zhang Zelin and his group arrived.

The Xu family home was bustling with activity once again.

Xu Chengyang returned the day before Lunar New Year's Eve.

He left just two days after the Lunar New Year, before even celebrating the Lantern Festival, and even said he wouldn't be coming back for the Lantern Festival.

Xu Yue felt helpless about this.

It's impossible to expect an old man who is obsessed with research and cultivation to have his children around him like other elderly people.

Xu Chengyang inherited the medical tradition and is now specializing in it, while also researching medical techniques.

With medical traditions being passed down in the present day and practice becoming easier than before, traditional Chinese medicine naturally radiates an undeniable brilliance.

With the country now strongly supporting traditional Chinese medicine, it's only a matter of time before it overtakes Western medicine.

Of course, the interests involved are far too complex, but the arm can't twist the thigh.

With state support, traditional Chinese medicine will inevitably grow in scale.

Perhaps one day, all those testing instruments in hospitals will become obsolete.

There are many skilled doctors who can diagnose illnesses at a glance through observation, listening, questioning, and palpation; why would they need instruments?

After the Lantern Festival, Yan Tian came to Taoyuan Village.

This visit to Xu Yue was just a side trip; the real purpose was to meet up with Ning Yun and head to Ailao Mountain.

Since we're here, we naturally have to have a chat with Xu Yue.

Discussing cultivation may yield some insights.

"The authorities intend to build a medical academy. Where do you think would be the best place to build it?"

Yan Tian then asked about Xu Yue.

Now that traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down through generations, the government naturally has its own ideas.

Since we are preparing to vigorously develop traditional Chinese medicine, it is only natural to build a medical academy.

As for why Yan Tian mentioned this matter to him, he had some guesses.

"There must be quite a few TCM colleges, right?" Xu Yue asked. "Have you ever thought about directly passing on the medical principles to those colleges?"

“It can be considered an advanced academy,” Yan Tian said. “Besides, the medical path requires the support of medicinal herbs.”

Xu Yue also inherited the medical tradition, and was even the first to do so.

He simply didn't study the methods of traditional Chinese medicine.

However, the "Yan Di Hun Yuan Gen Ben Jing" and the "Shennong Ben Cao Jing" share the same origin, and he can also cultivate and use those medical supernatural powers.

"Where do you plan to build it?" Xu Yue asked. "You don't mean to build it right next to Taoyuan Village or Shennongjia, do you?"

Yan Tian nodded.

It was impossible to build a school in Taoyuan Village.

Because Taoyuan Village has no place to repair it for them, and besides, it wouldn't be worth it.

However, building it near Taoyuan Village in other villages is naturally not a problem, as this is for the sake of medicinal materials.

As for Shennongjia, that's naturally because of its valleys.

Medicinal herbs can naturally be grown in that valley, or rather, it has already been cultivated there.

It just wasn't enough.

Of course, it's impossible to build an academy in that valley; it would probably be located in the suburbs near Shennongjia.

As for the valley, it probably belongs to an academy that has advanced to the next level.

"What does the higher-ups mean?" Xu Yue couldn't help but ask, "Shennongjia? So, they need the farmers' support?"

Yan Tian nodded again.

"The medical academy is being built over there, which will also provide some oversight and defense for Shennongjia," Yan Tian said. "The Special Administration Bureau and the military will also make arrangements."

"A strange beast came down from the mountain in Shennongjia?" Xu Yue frowned and said, "It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

"Prevention is better than cure," Yan Tian said. "The number of strange beasts will definitely increase, and it's probably only a matter of time before they come down from the mountain."

Xu Yue was silent.

It's hard to say for sure, but taking precautions is necessary.

"Did the farm people go there to lease land to grow medicinal herbs, or did they just go to set up the spirit array while the academy people grew the herbs themselves?" Xu Yue looked at Yan Tian and said, "Who is in charge of the academy's affairs?"

"The Medical Academy, with your grandfather as the principal and Elder Xu as the vice-principal," Yan Tian said with a faint smile. "You can go find them to discuss how to proceed."

Xu Yue glanced at Yan Tian and was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

How should we negotiate?
What a load of rubbish.

He was born a head shorter.

However, Xu Yue didn't care about these things.

"With you both serving as principals, your students will be all over the world," Yan Tian said with a smile. "However, your grandfather's appointment as principal is not because he has a grandson like you, but because he is the most suitable one."
