Chapter 1: I Really Don't Want to Go Home and Farm
Blue Star, a place extremely similar to Earth.
Great Xia, Capital Yanjing.
"Mr. Xu!"
"Mr. Xu!"
"Hello, Mr. Xu!"
With nothing much to do today, he left work early.
Xu Yue arrived at the underground parking lot and then drove home.
He ignored the subtle flirtations from his female employees.
He was accustomed to it.
Standing over six feet tall, with a rugged and handsome appearance and extremely high Appearance , he was naturally favored by women.
He received many love letters while studying.
Xu Yue came out of the mountains, graduated from a prestigious university, joined a gaming company, and within a few years, he was promoted and given raises, now serving as the general manager. He had bought a house and a car in the capital, only needing a rich and beautiful woman to reach the Peak of his life.
He would find an opportunity to confess soon!
"An apple a day, no one's handsomer than I!"
Upon returning home, Xu Yue turned on the TV and picked up a fruit knife to peel an apple.
He was in a good mood today.
"Hiss!"
However, he was so shocked by the melodramatic plot on TV that he accidentally cut his hand in his moment of joy.
Huh?
As Xu Yue opened a drawer to look for a bandage, he suddenly found something that looked like a mozi token.
The item was made of bronze, round at the top and square at the bottom, shaped like a hanging dewdrop.
On its back was the character: Xu.
On its front was the character: Nong.
Xu Yue paused, then chuckled, remembering.
He had bought it during a visit to Panjiayuan Market.
The seller had asked for 500,000 yuan, claiming it was an ancient Agrarian School mozi token.
It was something belonging to Xu Xing.
The same Xu Xing who appeared in "Mencius."
The representative figure of the Agrarian School, Xu Xing!
Then, Xu Yue felt a connection to it, so he haggled the price down to 500 yuan, and the seller readily agreed.
Xu Yue was stunned at the time.
He thought he should have haggled for 50 yuan.
Perhaps intrigued by Xu Xing, Xu Yue looked up a lot of information after returning, but found no definitive answers.
He even specifically had someone appraise it, who said it might be a token belonging to the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Han Dynasty, but also resembled the style of the Qin Dynasty. In short: they couldn't be sure.
The words were somewhat euphemistic, but the meaning was clear: it was fake.
Xu Yue wasn't surprised by this.
The reason he sought an appraisal wasn't because he thought he'd found a treasure, but purely by some strange impulse.
He himself found it inexplicable.
Perhaps it was a touch of obsessive-compulsive disorder, needing to figure out exactly what this thing was.
After that, Xu Yue forgot about it and left it in the drawer.
Hmm?
Holy crap!
The token in his hand suddenly emitted a green light, startling Xu Yue so much that his grip loosened.
However, the token didn't fall; instead, it instantly transformed into a green light and shot into his glabella.
Xu Yue only felt his head swell, then he fainted.
After an unknown period, Xu Yue felt hungry and slowly woke up, rubbing his head.
The soap opera was still playing on the TV.
What's happening to me...
Xu Yue suddenly remembered that the bronze token had been stained with his blood and had transformed into a green light, shooting into his glabella.
Huh?
The finger that had been cut by the fruit knife was perfectly fine!
This is Xuanhuan!
Xu Yue's heart beat faster and faster.
Then, streams of information poured into his mind.
Xu Yue was stunned.
This was truly the ancient Agrarian School mozi token!
The Agrarian School Legacy token!
It even contained the Legacy of the Internal Historian of Qin, the Grand Minister of Agriculture of Han, and the Grand Minister of Agriculture.
This is simply too incredible!
It's too unscientific!
Could this thing be from some mythical world?
Because this Legacy is somewhat mythical.
Or perhaps this world isn't what it appears to be?
The world was not as he understood it.
The Yandi Hunyuan Fundamental Sutra!
The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Tokens!
The Spiritual Soil Creation Technique!
The Myriad Growth Technique!
There are Cultivation Techniques, and also Supernatural Skills that can control the Qi of earth veins, transforming barren land into spiritual soil.
Can it Cultivate spiritual plants, and even summon wind and rain, controlling the four seasons?
Is this the Agrarian School?
How can the Internal Historian, Grand Minister of Agriculture, and Grand Minister of Agriculture be so powerful?
These are immortals!
Xu Yue was excited, then fell silent.
Can't Cultivate in the city?
Only by farming can one become stronger?
What kind of ridiculous setting is this? Is it playing with people?
Xu Yue grew up in the mountains, and his elders always instilled in him from a young age: 'Get out of the mountains!'
He did it.
And he did it very well.
Now he has a foothold in the capital.
But now, it seems he has to go back.
He worked tirelessly, enduring countless hardships and suffering, to achieve his current success.
He loves his current life!
He was conflicted.
His current life was as he wished, and he was accustomed to city life, but who the hell could refuse Cultivating Immortality!
Gulp!
Never mind, let's eat first!
Xu Yue had been independent since childhood and always cooked for himself.
Even when he was alone.
He was also a very good cook; he even ran a food stall during university.
He had a good appetite, but today he was preoccupied and had no appetite, so he quickly finished his meal.
He tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
Finally, he made up his mind!
Go back to farming!
Upon arriving at the company, Xu Yue immediately submitted a resignation letter to the head office.
The reason for his resignation was perfunctory: the world is so big, I want to see it!
"Knock knock knock!"
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
"Ruo Xi?"
Xu Yue opened the door and couldn't help but be surprised to see the visitor.
She was his classmate from Yanjing University.
Their relationship had always been good, and they kept in touch after graduation, occasionally having meals together.
Zhang Ruoxi was hailed as the most beautiful school beauty in the history of Yanjing University, and her stunning looks made Xu Yue feel inferior.
It was said that her family background was also very good.
A true rich and beautiful woman.
After more contact, Xu Yue naturally developed feelings for her, but he had always kept them hidden.
She was the one he was preparing to bravely confess to recently.
"You're resigning?"
Zhang Ruoxi walked into the office and immediately asked Xu Yue.
"How did you know?" Xu Yue was surprised.
He had just submitted his resignation to the group company, and Zhang Ruoxi arrived right after.
It felt as if he had handed her the resignation letter.
"Why?" Zhang Ruoxi asked.
"I also want to ask, why?" Xu Yue looked at Zhang Ruoxi and said.
Why resign?
Why did she know he was resigning!
"What is Zhang Zelin to you?" Xu Yue suddenly asked.
He vaguely had some guesses.
This gaming company was one of many under the Zhang Group.
Zhang Zelin was the chairman of the Zhang Group, with a net worth of tens of billions.
"My dad!"
Zhang Ruoxi said weakly.
She had always hidden it from Xu Yue, and her tone carried a hint of guilt and apprehension, as if afraid Xu Yue would get angry.
"I was wondering how I managed to get promoted and become general manager in just a few years," Xu Yue chuckled, saying, "So it's because of you! Does this count as me living off a woman?"
The gaming company he worked for was not small.
It had only been four years since he graduated from university, and many people were probably still doing odd jobs in the workplace.
Yet he had already become a top executive in a company.
Indeed, when you're out there, connections matter.
Zhang Ruoxi was his connection.
"No, it's not," Zhang Ruoxi said, "The key is your ability! You don't need to resign because of this!"
"My resignation has nothing to do with that," Xu Yue said, "I didn't even know about it before! I'd actually be very happy to live off you!"
"Then why?" Zhang Ruoxi said, "Did another company poach you with a high salary?"
"I'm going back to my hometown!" Xu Yue shook his head and said.
"Back to your hometown? Why?" Zhang Ruoxi said, "Can you stay? I hope you stay, it has nothing to do with the company."
Zhang Ruoxi's tone was somewhat pleading, and Xu Yue wasn't a fool; how could he not see her intentions?
Xu Yue fell silent.
So conflicted!
For a moment, Xu Yue wanted to stay.
To hell with Cultivating Immortality!
I don't want to go back to farming!
Tears were already welling up in Zhang Ruoxi's eyes.
She probably felt that if Xu Yue left, any possibility between them would instantly vanish.
"If I stay, can we be together?"
Xu Yue quickly calmed down, then sighed and said.
A Dragon does not live with a snake!
With mismatched backgrounds, can they truly be together?
Don't mention the nonsense about what era it is now, and don't talk about freedom to love.
Zhang Ruoxi might not mind, but what about her family, her friends and relatives?
Is love truly happy if it doesn't even receive the blessings of family?
