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

Chapter 524 Has Xu Yue been tricked and robbed?

With the matter settled, Gu Hai went home.

I casually mentioned the campsite on the back mountain to Xu Jianghe.

Xu Jianghe naturally had no objection to this.

The school is not far from Taoyuan Village, so it won't interfere with his work much.

Looking back now, the campsite on the back mountain does seem a bit small.

"A venomous dragon?"

Zhang Ruoxi was somewhat surprised when Xu Yue recounted his trip to Ailao Mountain, but she also admired the courage of Xu Yue and his companions.

They actually keep that thing for research at the school. Aren't they worried about its toxicity leaking out?

She was unaware that countless people were now eyeing the Agricultural Science and Technology College.

If the laboratory is damaged by the slightest carelessness, that would be a huge disaster.

“I’ve set up several layers of protection,” Xu Yue said. “We’ve also set up protection outside the lab. In addition, the Shuzhou Special Management Branch will move to Gong’an City, and the back mountain camp will also move there.”

This means they've increased security.

"This trip wasn't entirely fruitless," Xu Yue said, taking out the Flood Dragon Pearl. "This pearl contains more energy than the Five Elements Spirit Pearl."

"It's actually non-toxic, and it feels extremely yang and pure," Zhang Ruoxi said. "Will this be useful to you?"

“Hmm!” Xu Yue said, “Perhaps we can use the energy of this bead to completely transform the primordial spirit into a yang one.”

When the primordial spirit transforms into yang, one naturally enters the eighth realm: the Yang Spirit Realm.

"That's quite a gain," Zhang Ruoxi said. "At the Yangshen Realm, one can travel around in a day."

"This thing will probably do you more harm than good," Xu Yue said. "You've just condensed your primordial spirits, and they simply can't withstand this extreme yang energy. So we won't give you this bead."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded; she naturally understood.

The sixth realm is the Yin Spirit Realm, which shows that the primordial spirit is first Yin and then Yang. Moreover, the transformation from Yin to Yang still requires the help of the Yang energy of the body, and must be done step by step.

The seventh realm, the Realm of Spirit Fusion, is actually the process of the primordial spirit transforming from yin to yang.

Xu Yue did not break through immediately. He only occasionally absorbed the aura of the Flood Dragon Pearl into his body, filtered it through his body, and then integrated it into his Yin Spirit.

Be cautious and do not dare to take credit.

However, as the number of times increased and time went on, Xu Yue gradually became more proficient.

Xu Yue was not in a hurry; this was bound to be a long process.

He also knew that he couldn't rush things.

The relocation of the Special Administration Branch is not something that can be done at will; it involves many factors.

However, it eventually arrived, even earlier than Xu Yue had anticipated.

When Li Liang arrived, he brought Xu Yue some shocking news.

"We just received news that a sea monster has landed in the United States and is wreaking havoc in coastal cities. They've used missiles, but it seems they haven't been able to kill it," Li Liang said. "The sea monster calmly escaped back into the sea."

"A sea monster?" Xu Yue looked at Li Liang with some surprise and said, "Isn't it some kind of evolved animal from the ocean?"

Upon hearing this, Li Liang looked at Xu Yue with some surprise, thinking, "Your focus is a bit off."

A sea monster has landed in the United States and is wreaking havoc in coastal cities. The key point is that missiles have been used to deal with it.

You don't pay attention to these things, you're only interested in "sea monsters"?
“It looks somewhat like a crocodile, but it’s much larger,” Li Liang said. “We guess it evolved from a crocodile, and it’s probably around the sixth level of the realm, with amazing defensive capabilities.”

"Have you studied why they came ashore?" Xu Yue said. "American crocodiles should inhabit areas such as bays, rivers, and lakes, right? I thought that evolved beasts in the ocean should all live in the deep sea."

“Who knows?” Li Liang said. “The United States has suffered heavy losses this time. It’s causing quite a stir internationally. However, the mainstream explanation is that the mutation of the American crocodile was caused by nuclear contamination.”

This statement is scientifically sound.

"Are you worried that something similar might happen in our country?" Xu Yue said. "Our country also has a long coastline."

"Director Yan sailed around the coast in a warship but didn't find anything," Li Liang said. "We're actually more worried about those in the mountains. After all, quite a few have been found there. Too many are wild and untamed."

There are gentle ones, such as Xu Yue's blue ox, Xu Chengyang's yellow ox, and Ning Yun's tamed fox and golden eagle.

But more often than not, they are wild and untamed, and can easily injure people.

Even more dangerous are creatures like the venomous dragon.

“Our country should be fine,” Xu Yue said. “There are almost always Buddhist and Taoist sects in famous mountains and rivers. Besides, these things are hard to guard against and impossible to eradicate. Moreover, I don’t think killing them is the best option. Ecological balance may not only apply to the technological age, but also to the cultivation age.”

“These are things I’m not concerned about,” Li Liang said. “The world is in a bit of chaos, and so is the situation in China. It’s just that it’s much better than abroad.”

"I could guess," Xu Yue said. "Things aren't exactly peaceful at the Agricultural Science and Technology College."

"different."

Li Liang shook his head and said.

Xu Yue naturally knew what the difference was.

The chaos Li Liang spoke of originated from the common people, and it implied that some heroes used martial arts to break the law.

The Agricultural Science and Technology Academy clearly has connections to certain departments in other countries.

"Shu Prefecture should be better, right?"

Xu Yue asked, because he really had never heard of it.

He also keeps up with the news from time to time.

Besides, he's in Shu Prefecture, so if there's anything going on, he'd surely hear something about it.

After all, in today's era of social media, the speed at which news spreads is astonishing.

"Shuzhou is indeed better."

Li Liang nodded, and he actually knew why.

Shuzhou has two major sects, Qingcheng and Emei, as well as Taoyuan Village.

The Shuzhou Special Administration Branch is also very strong.

Or rather, the special administration branches in the three southwestern prefectures are all very powerful.

This is thanks to Taoyuan Village.

Being in a good position gives you an advantage.

"Is Ning Yun still in Ailao Mountain?" Li Liang continued to ask. "That kid won't come back until he catches a satisfactory mount, will he?"

"I don't know about that," Xu Yue shook his head and said, "It might not be a bad thing for him over there."

Li Liang nodded.

Xu Chengyang and others are in Shennongjia, and they are also planning to build a school there.

If there is anything wrong, there are people who can deal with it.

The same is true of the Ailao Mountains.

“With the dragon veins gathering and the spiritual veins reviving, those already strange places will become even stranger,” Li Liang said. “I even suspect that those places are actually remnants from the era of cultivation. Now that spiritual energy is reviving, those places will probably revive as well.”

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, but after careful consideration, he realized that Li Liang's statement might not be impossible.

There are many strange places in China, not just Shennongjia and Ailao Mountain.

Moreover, many of these areas are considered forbidden zones, and some are even more dangerous than Shennongjia and Ailao Mountain.

Among them is Kunshan, the ancestral mountain.

However, Xu Yue had no interest in exploring these places.

No matter what it is, as long as you are strong enough, you can handle it.

Li Liang did not stay long. He is now in Gong'an City, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

I was originally planning to visit Ning Yun's family, but that guy is still in Ailao Mountain, so I'll have to do it later.

Xu Yue's life returned to normal; he was either cultivating or researching.

Now his primordial spirit is becoming increasingly yang, and he is not far from breaking through to the next realm.

That day, Li Zihan came. Xu Yue had taught her a lot, but most of the time she practiced on her own. If she didn't understand something, she would contact him by phone more often than she would come to see Xu Yue in person.

"Huh? Not bad." Xu Yue looked at Li Zihan and said, "When did you condense your core and enter the fourth realm?"

"Didn't I go on vacation not long ago? I was lucky enough to encounter a spiritual vein reviving, and I gained a lot of benefits, which allowed me to break through my limits," Li Zihan said with a smile. "Master, do you still remember Meng Hao and Li Yan?"

"Remember, what happened?"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised.

He actually had a pretty good impression of Meng Hao.

A very talented and hardworking person.

It seems that Meng Hao and Li Yan have a good relationship with Li Zihan.

“The revived spiritual vein is located there,” Li Zihan said. “The two of them also took the opportunity to break through to the third realm.”

"That's great," Xu Yue nodded. "They're both quite talented. How about they develop their careers in their hometown?"

Xu Yue rarely pays attention to the graduates, especially those who go back to start their own businesses.

However, Taoyuan Farm is certainly paying close attention.

The local special administration bureau also estimates the same.

"We encountered some trouble at the beginning, but we resolved them all," Li Zihan said. "Initially, some villagers were unwilling to rent their land, and after Meng Hao and his group became wealthy, they became envious, and some even secretly watered their land with paraquat or something similar."

Xu Yue was still somewhat surprised.

Thinking back to when I first came back, although I encountered some unpleasant things, it was much better than what Meng Hao had experienced.

The villagers of Taoyuan Village are truly simple and honest.

"It's good that things are developing well," Xu Yue said. "With the support of agricultural trading companies and the local government, if it still can't develop, then it's a matter of capability."

Meng Hao is clearly a capable person.

"Why did you mention them?" Xu Yue looked at Li Zihan and smiled. "Did they cause trouble? Or did you cause trouble because of them?"

Li Zihan gave an awkward smile.

“Isn’t there a spiritual vein revival there?” Li Zihan said. “Someone tried to forcibly take it, so we beat them up.”

"How powerful is he? From the cultivation world or the secular world? Meng Hao should be from Ganzhou, right? What, he beat up the people from Longhu Mountain?"

Xu Yue asked casually.

Whether from the cultivation world or the secular world, Xu Yue had nothing to fear.

Besides, they are in the right.

“He’s not a member of the Taoist sect,” Li Zihan said. “Meng Hao’s hometown is not far from Mount Lu.”

"The people from Dongjing Temple?" Xu Yue said. "They're not letting this go? As far as I know, Dongjing Temple didn't have any experts at the fourth realm before, right? Even if they do now, they probably wouldn't be a match for you, would they?"

“Those Buddhist monks don’t care about martial ethics,” Li Zihan said. “I’m just worried that the people from Dongjing Temple will call my parents.”

The head of Dongjing Temple is naturally a Buddhist.

There are quite a few masters in Buddhism.

Li Zihan has only just broken through to the fourth realm, so she definitely can't handle it.

Her father, Li Zhuting, hadn't broken through to the fifth realm either, so naturally he couldn't withstand it either.

So naturally she ran back to find Xu Yue.

Xu Yue could withstand the pressure and also keep the Buddhists in check.

"What did the people from the Ganzhou Special Administration Bureau say?" Xu Yue asked. "They probably won't just stand by and watch, will they?"

"The Special Administration Bureau over there can suppress Dongjing Temple, but can it suppress the Buddhist community?" Li Zihan said. "The revival of that spiritual vein is thanks to the spiritual array set up by Meng Hao and Li Yan. Besides, Meng Hao and his group rented the mountain where the spiritual vein is located first. As a result, the people from Donglin Temple actually wanted to seize it and even came to their door to coerce them. Isn't this a slap in your face?"

"You were taken advantage of?"

Xu Yue asked with a smile.

"No."

Li Zihan paused for a moment, then shook her head.

She didn't know whether Dongjing Temple had four boundaries.

However, the one they encountered was only at the third realm.

Let alone her, Meng Hao and Li Yan could probably beat them to a pulp.

"Then why are you so angry?" Xu Yue said. "If I didn't see that you weren't injured, I would have suspected that you had been beaten up."

"The main problem is that those monks are just too infuriating."

Li Zihan said, seemingly still feeling somewhat resentful when she thought about it.

"Did you give me your name?" Xu Yue continued, "My name should be useful."

"Your name is probably not as effective as Teacher Ning's."

Li Zihan couldn't help but say something, but didn't mention whether she had mentioned Xu Yue's name or not.

Ning Yun also registered at the Agricultural Science and Technology College.

There's nothing wrong with Li Zihan calling him her teacher.

"What, do you expect me to attack Dongjing Temple like Ning Yun did with his disciples when he stormed Shaolin Temple?" Xu Yue said with a sneer. "If I have to handle this kind of thing, wouldn't that make you and your father look incompetent?"

Ning Yun and Xu Yue are clearly different.

Xu Yue has many experts below him.

In a sense, Ning Yun was under Xu Yue's command.

"I never thought about it, I never thought about it!" Li Zihan quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm telling you this because I'm afraid of something like 'beating the little one and getting the big one in return,' which would be too troublesome. Solving the problem directly from the source would save a lot of trouble, wouldn't it? It's a one-time solution!"

"I'll call the Special Administration Bureau in Ganzhou."

Xu Yue nodded.

Ideally, the problem could be solved in one go.

Besides, since Li Zihan had come to him, Xu Yue couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Let Dongjing Temple constantly create trouble for Meng Hao and his group, and then let him solve the trouble himself, thereby training him?

Xu Yue had never actually thought of it that way.

Would Dongjing Temple be unaware of Meng Hao and his group's connection to Taoyuan Village?

They definitely knew.

They still went to seize the spiritual veins, perhaps because of the allure of profit, but more likely because they felt that Peach Blossom Village did not value the students who went out to start their own businesses.

Perhaps in their eyes, those students who stayed behind were the true members of the Taoyuan faction.

Xu Yue knew everyone, from high-ranking officials in the Special Administration Bureau to high-ranking military officials, and had exchanged contact information with almost all of them.

Xu Yue naturally also had the contact information of the director of the Ganzhou Special Administration Branch.

Those were left over from when I made magical artifacts for him.

Xu Yue's phone call represented his stance.

His attitude reflects the attitude of Taoyuan Village, and even the Buddhist community, let alone Dongjing Temple, has to take it seriously.

Taoyuan Village is a place that neither the Buddhist nor the Taoist sects can afford to offend.

Or rather, the entire cultivation world is someone they can't afford to offend.

The key point is that they are in the right in this matter.

Xu Yue's statement forced all parties to reconsider their attitude towards the graduates of the Agricultural Academy.

Some people, however, were gloating. The Buddhist sect had actually tried to seize Xu Yue's property through trickery and force.
