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

Chapter 531 Cultivator Assembly

Xu Yue knew a little about the situation in Southeast Asia.

After all, Jing Guohua had mentioned it to him quite a few times.

Jing Guohua has had quite a few dealings with cultivators from Southeast Asia.

They practice evil magic there.

There have been numerous cases of people killing others to practice their skills.

Now that spiritual energy is reviving and the number and strength of cultivators are increasing, it's probably not surprising that those countries can't suppress it.

However, many people see it as a case of reaping what one sows.

The situation there is inextricably linked to the laissez-faire attitude of various countries.

"They asked for help, and you went to provide it?" Xu Yue said. "Isn't the Special Administration Bureau also short-staffed these days? Or is it that the conditions they offered were too difficult to refuse?"

“We naturally ignored the requests for help from some countries,” Yan Tian said. “But there are some countries that have always been on good terms with our country, and we can’t just ignore them. The key issue is that we are now somewhat isolated.”

Being isolated?
At this point, Yan Tian couldn't help but look at Xu Yue.

Xu Yue felt as if the conversation was about him.

Which types of refusal are difficult to accept, and which are hard to refuse?
Xu Yue could have guessed it too.

Southeast Asia generally doesn't have any strong leaders; they all have the shadow of major powers behind them.

Some are followers of Europe and America, while others are naturally more pro-China.

Those European and American underlings, of course, refused.

Didn't you all go with them?

Go find your boss.

But how can I refuse when my own younger brother asks for help?

If you refuse, won't the other underlings be heartbroken?
If you don't even protect your own underlings, who will follow you?
Wouldn't that make them even more isolated?

If we can help our own little brother solve this problem, then there will be more voices of support for China from the international community.

No national leader wants to be overshadowed by a group of monks.

"Could the higher-ups be eyeing my Peach Blossom Village and want us to go abroad to provide support?"

Xu Yue looked at Yan Tian and couldn't help but ask.

The Special Administration is not exactly strapped for cash right now, but if it were to send personnel to provide support, it would likely have an impact on the domestic situation.

There are also heretical practitioners in China, and there are also many cases of extraordinary crimes.

In this respect, they are undoubtedly the best in the world.

This is related to Xu Yue.

Taoyuan Village has trained many experts for the Special Administration Bureau and the military.

Now even the village's former campsite has been moved to the school area, expanding many times over.

They are still continuously training top talents.

"The higher-ups are preparing to hold a cultivators' conference," Yan Tian said. "Various sects are extending invitations, and your Peach Blossom Village is naturally among them."

"Hiring people from the general public to provide support abroad?"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised, but he had to admit that this was definitely an excellent idea.

The number of people practicing spiritual cultivation in China is definitely very strong.

Even excluding the people from Peach Blossom Village, they are still incredibly strong.

Especially the various sects of Taoism and Buddhism, while perhaps not comparable to Peach Blossom Village, are definitely very strong compared to the cultivation forces abroad.

Moreover, there are quite a few such forces.

"That's a consideration," Yan Tian said. "Great powers need to take responsibility."

Shouldering the responsibilities of a major power?

Xu Yue didn't say anything.

After all, if there's no benefit, who would take the responsibility? Why would they be so bored?
The arrival of civilian forces to provide support, to some extent, also alleviated the pressure on the domestic situation.

As the power of various factions increases, they will naturally seek more benefits.

But with such a large domestic market, disputes are bound to arise.

"Is the conflict between Taoism and Buddhism getting more and more intense?"

Xu Yue suddenly asked.

The conflict between Buddhism and Taoism has never ceased.

Previously, Taoism was weaker than Buddhism, which can be seen from their smaller numbers.

In addition, a hundred years ago, most of the Taoist disciples left the mountain and did not return, thus severing many traditions.

Buddhist temples are relatively small.

Moreover, this is the Taoist philosophy; believe it or not, it's up to you.

Therefore, before the revival of spiritual practice, Taoism was far less influential than Buddhism.

But now that cultivation has revived, the situation has reversed.

There are more Taoist masters than Buddhist masters, and the Taoists have a good relationship with Peach Blossom Village, thus gaining a lot of resources from it.

And what about Buddhism?

Having a somewhat hostile relationship with Taoyuan Village, it's naturally difficult for them to obtain resources from it.

Although they are wealthy and powerful, they have difficulty finding cultivation resources, and now the gap between them and the Taoist sects has widened considerably.

When the situation is reversed, the interests naturally need to be redistributed.

Furthermore, with other cultivators appearing in the world, they will likely join in as well.

A reshuffling of the deck inevitably leads to conflict.

The Special Administration Bureau's resources were certainly also drawn into the conflict.

This is shifting internal conflicts abroad.

"The conflict between Buddhism and Taoism has a long history, especially under the circumstances of this resurgence in cultivation," Yan Tian said. "However, it is still within a controllable range."

“Peach Blossom Village lives a quiet life, farming peacefully and not participating in the struggles of the martial world.”

Xu Yue looked at Yan Tian and spoke.

Yan Tian's visit is probably intended to encourage the people of Taoyuan Village to go abroad and provide support.

Xu Yue was clearly somewhat unwilling.

My Peach Blossom Village doesn't cause trouble, and the key is that we don't have any needs, so why would we go abroad to fight to the death?

Buddhism and Taoism can go abroad to support other countries, spread their teachings, and even establish branch temples and monasteries. But what about Peach Blossom Village?

Establish a branch office?
Wouldn't that be letting them off easy?
“The higher-ups hope that Peach Blossom Village can take the lead,” Yan Tian said. “They especially hope that you can produce someone who can keep things in check. After all, many sects and factions in Buddhism and Taoism are at the fifth level, or even none at that level.”

Do Buddhism and Taoism have six realms?

Have.

There are two Taoist sects: the Old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain and Master Chen of Wudang.

The latter, having grasped the essence of dual cultivation, had an advantage in subsequent practice, and thus caught up with the Celestial Master.

In Buddhism, only the monk Yande entered the sixth realm.

But what about Peach Blossom Village?
Excluding Xu Yue, there are four people from the Sixth Realm: Xu Chengyang, Xu Jianghe, Ning Yun, and Zhang Ruoxi.

Peach Blossom Village may not have many people, but it has a lot of experts; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it crushes the entire cultivation world.

Of course, that number doesn't include the students from the Agricultural Science and Technology College.

As for Peach Blossom Village not participating in the struggles of the martial arts world?

The key question is, who provoked you?

And you don't need to seize any resources; you can create them yourself.

“You don’t need to take action. Ning Yun or your third uncle can either go along and take a look,” Yan Tian said. “Perhaps you don’t even need to take action, just keep things under control.”

The Six Realms stand at the pinnacle of the world's cultivation world. It's hard to say whether there are Six Realms in Southeast Asia, but there certainly aren't any who surpass the Six Realms.

“You should ask them,” Xu Yue said. “If they’re willing, I have no objection.”

“I’ll go find them later,” Yan Tian said. “However, I hope you will attend this cultivators’ conference. Leaders from various Buddhist and Taoist sects, as well as other forces in the martial arts world, will be attending.”

"Okay!" Xu Yue said, "It's confirmed. Let them know."

Xu Yue did not refuse the offer.

Peach Blossom Village is also a cultivation force, and it is the largest cultivation force in the country.

If I don't go, people will inevitably speculate.

"It should be soon." Yan Tian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Yue's agreement.

For other factions, a simple notification would suffice, but not for Xu Yue; the impact would be too great.

The key is that his cultivation level is ridiculously high.

When he was at the fifth realm, he thought Xu Yue was at the sixth realm. Now that he is at the sixth realm, Xu Yue still feels unfathomable to him.

He could even sense that when he was at the fifth realm, Xu Yue was not at the sixth realm at all.

Yan Tian chatted for a while, then went to find Xu Jianghe and Ning Yun.

Not long after, the two approached Xu Yue.

"Isn't Taoyuan Village too powerful?" Ning Yun asked. "Did we cause too much trouble when we went abroad last time?"

Ning Yun didn't say it explicitly, but Xu Yue understood what she meant.

Taoyuan Village's power was so great that it aroused the suspicion and even distrust of those above.

Their previous success abroad may have contributed to this situation.

“Don’t think too much about it,” Xu Yue said. “Taoyuan Village has maintained close ties with the military and the Special Administration Bureau from the very beginning. The stronger they are, the more they are happy to see things go smoothly. Last time we went abroad, it was to cooperate with them in negotiations.”

Strength is not scary; what is scary is being out of control.

Taoyuan Village is clearly within a controllable range.

"This time, I'm afraid one of us will have to go to Southeast Asia."

Xu Jianghe's opening remark, "Oh, if we ignore this, then Taoyuan Village is still within our control."

There will certainly be no consensus among those in power regarding their attitude towards Taoyuan Village.

"Is the situation in Southeast Asia really that serious?" Ning Yun asked. "Even countries can't control the situation? We still live in an era where firearms dominate the world."

Once one's cultivation level is high enough, firearms no longer pose a threat to cultivators.

Heavy weapons such as missiles are possible.

Nowadays, Xu Yue is probably the only person who dares to say he is not afraid of missiles.

Even Ning Yun and other sixth-realm experts probably don't have that much confidence.

“A paradise for evil cultivators,” Xu Jianghe said. “I’ve heard Li Liang talk about it quite a bit. All the evil cultivators in the country are heading there. Some royal families have even been controlled by them, and there have been cases of blood sacrifices of entire cities.”

"Who should go?" Ning Yun asked. "Should we bring some people with us?"

The first question was directed at Xu Jianghe, while the second question was directed at Xu Yue.

Xu Jianghe also looked at Xu Yue, seemingly letting him make the decision.

"It's up to you who goes," Xu Yue said. "As for whether to bring anyone along, and who to bring, we'll discuss that when I get back from the meeting. Um, if you're interested, you can come along too."

“I’ll go,” Ning Yun said. “I’ll go with you to that cultivators’ conference too.”

Xu Jianghe naturally had no objections.

He actually wanted to see for himself the methods of those heretical cultivators.

However, evil cultivators have strange methods, and as a martial arts cultivator, he is indeed not as suitable as Ning Yun.

Some of the methods used by the Yin-Yang School are quite bizarre.

"You probably won't ask Liu Feifei to go this time, right?"

Xu Jianghe looked at Ning Yun and couldn't help but say something.

"Forget it," Ning Yun said. "It might be dangerous for her to go this time."

“She’s a world-renowned superstar, after all. It’s good enough that she’s there to give face to your Yin-Yang School. You want her to be the real deal?” Xu Yue said. “Why don’t you just find another talented apprentice?”

"Don't talk about me. You only have Li Zihan as your apprentice, don't you? Don't you also think that Li Zihan is both the face and the substance of your Farmer's Clan?" Ning Yun said.

Xu Yue was silent.

He indeed only has one apprentice, Li Zihan.

However, he never really intended to make Li Zihan lose both face and dignity.

That's not necessary.

"Is your apprentice going?"

Ning Yun then asked, knowing full well how ruthless Li Zihan was.

"Take it to the meeting. As for whether to go to Southeast Asia, we'll see."

Xu Yue thought for a moment and then spoke.

Bringing Li Zihan along this time was to tell the cultivation world that Li Zihan is Xu Yue's disciple, and that if there are any conflicts in the future, they should think twice.

"Then I'll bring Liu Feifei along too."

Ning Yun spoke up, naturally understanding why Xu Yue had brought Li Zihan along.

"You've even fought your way to Shaolin Temple for your disciple, who in the cultivation world doesn't know that?" Xu Yue said with a sneer. "However, it's good to let her see it for herself."

"You may not have been able to take Donglin Temple, but who in the cultivation world doesn't know that Li Zihan is your disciple?"

Ning Yun pursed his lips and said, "Li Zihan's reputation in the cultivation world is much greater than Liu Feifei's."

She is not only Xu Yue's apprentice, but his father, Li Zhuting, is also now at the fifth level.

One family has two members at the fifth level, and some are even close to reaching the third level.

Li Zihan's mother is not far from the Fifth Realm now.

With the revival of cultivation, the importance of cultivators has become more prominent.

Countries without highly skilled practitioners providing medical care are now in a state of great turmoil.

For example, the Little Red Dot in the cultivation world, which was destroyed by Xu Yue, is now in complete chaos.

Many heretical practitioners in China have gone to the Little Red Dot to commit massacres and practice evil arts, but the Little Red Dot authorities are completely helpless. They sought help from their American "daddy," but were met with indifference.

After all, when Little Red Dot plotted against Xu Yue, she also schemed against his handsome father.

They even asked China for help?

Hehe, and I ignored him completely.

People must take responsibility for their actions.

Out of humanitarian concern, we must condemn those heretical practices.

The event would be held in Kyoto. Xu Yue checked the time and took Li Zihan and Ning Yun by plane.

As for Liu Feifei, she is already in Kyoto.

He's the one who came to pick me up at the airport.

At the airport, they actually encountered quite a few people from both Buddhism and Taoism.

Besides these, there are many other practitioners.

In Yanjing, Xu Yue owns property, and his father-in-law owns even more.

Zhang Zelin has now settled in Taoyuan Village, and even Zhang Ruohai and the others mostly live there now.

Xu Yue did not stay at the hotel arranged by the Special Administration Bureau, but instead stayed at Zhang Zelin's villa.

The house has a spirit array set up by Xu Yue, and the land in the backyard is now a spirit land.

"Your father-in-law's family moved to Taoyuan Village, hasn't the house been dealt with yet?"

Yan Tian arrived quickly.

Zhang Zelin's family settled in Taoyuan Village, how could Yan Tian not know?

"Sold it?" Xu Yue asked with a smile. "Is it because I'm short of money, or is it because my father-in-law's family is short of money?"

Yan Tian was speechless.

Xu Yue is not short of money. Whether he is the world's richest man is hard to say, but there should be no one in China who is richer than him.

His father-in-law's family was already one of the wealthiest in the country, and later his mother-in-law created a series of cosmetics, which made them even richer.

Nowadays, their cosmetics line is comparable to those well-known international brands.

His father-in-law's family's wealth has increased several times over.

How could they sell a house just because they didn't live in it?

Even though someone reportedly offered several times the market price for this house.

"The leader hopes that you will speak on behalf of the cultivators at the meeting."

Yan Tian didn't dwell on the issue of the house, but instead revealed the purpose of his trip.

"Me? Give a speech?" Xu Yue asked. "What should I say?"

"Besides you, who is qualified?" Yan Tian said. "Neither the Old Celestial Master nor Master Yande are suitable."

The Celestial Master represents Taoism, and Yan De represents Buddhism; it would be inappropriate for either of them to go up there.
