Chapter 142: Only Agricultural Machinery
The thatched hut was extremely peaceful, with only the sound of peeling bamboo shoots echoing.
Li Yanmo thought about it, and thought about it again and again, and finally felt that it was not a good idea to keep silent.
"oh--"
Zhuge Moer, who had been waiting for Li Yanmo's reaction, rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Mr. Li, your reaction arc is so long."
"I'm not really surprised."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Because you're so mysterious when you first appear, I feel like it wouldn't be that strange even if you can make Zhuge's magical device."
Li Yanmo frankly expressed his thoughts, but this obviously could not convince Zhuge Moer.
Zhuge Moer paced back and forth holding a bamboo shoot, looking Li Yanmo up and down.
"You are... really a strange person. You said you wanted to recruit my Zhuge family, but why do I feel like you are not in a hurry at all?"
"Some things can't be rushed, but Miss Zhuge, you seem a little anxious now," Li Yanmo smiled calmly, "Why don't you come back to Ganzhou with me first and see if I really want to recruit you, the Zhuge family?"
Zhuge Moer blinked and suddenly realized, "Ah~ So you are waiting for me here, you evil-minded young man."
"Compared to this, I heard that you can open the tomb of Emperor Lie?"
Seeing that Li Yanmo changed the subject so straightforwardly, Zhuge Moer became interested. He threw the bamboo shoots back into the basket and put his hands on his hips. "It's more than just opening it. It's as easy for me to enter the tomb of Emperor Lie as it is to go home. Do you want me to take you to see it now?"
"It's a bit interesting, but I'm not interested in the tomb of Emperor Lie. I'm interested in the inheritance of the magic weapon on you, Miss Zhuge. I don't know what I should do to make Miss Zhuge willing to go back to Ganzhou with me."
Zhuge Moer wrinkled her nose slightly. She could see that Li Yanmo was talking here and there in order to seize the initiative, but as the more curious party, she could only chase Li Yanmo around like this.
But Zhuge Moer quickly thought of a solution, and said, "Mr. Li, it's not that I can't go to Jingzhou with you, but it's also not that... I can't help you make a magic weapon."
"Oh? My pleasure."
"But to tell you the truth, there are neither offensive magic weapons nor defensive magic weapons in the Zhuge family's inheritance," Zhuge Moer said proudly with his hands on his hips, "The original intention of Zhuge's ancestors to study magic weapons was to benefit the people. All the magic weapons are agricultural magic weapons!"
"But unfortunately, even agricultural machinery and magic weapons are expensive!"
Zhuge Moer said this while observing Li Yanmo's reaction.
The first reaction of most of the monks from the sects upon hearing this answer was disbelief, but after she actually proved it, those monks from the sects would walk away with an awkward smile and never be seen again.
But what Zhuge Moer could not have imagined was that Li Yanmo not only did not show any doubt or disappointment in his eyes, but his eyes even lit up with excitement.
"Agricultural machinery magic weapon, isn't that great? How about this, as long as Miss Zhuge is willing, we can start mass production of agricultural machinery magic weapon immediately after returning to Ganzhou. We will first make several million units and strive to make every household in Ganzhou use them. After that, we will expand the business outwards-"
Seeing that Li Yanmo was actually talking about this topic, Zhuge Moer quickly reached out to stop him.
"Stop, stop, stop - Master Li, do you know what you are saying?"
"It's about making money," Li Yanmo shook his teacup. "Do you know how big the world is? Do you know how much farmland is waiting to be reclaimed? I think this is very promising."
Zhuge Moer rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, have you ever thought that ordinary people can't afford agricultural machinery and magic weapons?"
"Why don't you just sell it cheaper? Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
"Hey you——"
Zhuge Moer was stunned and wanted to refute, but didn't know where to start.
Indeed, as long as it is sold very cheaply, it can solve the problem that ordinary people cannot afford agricultural machinery.
"Okay, what about the cost?"
"How can you accomplish anything if you always think about the cost?" Li Yanmo put down the cup and smiled at Zhuge Moer. "Miss Zhuge, let's stop here today. I will come again in three days. The tea is good."
After saying that, Li Yanmo got up and left.
Zhuge Moer stood there with her hands on her hips for a few seconds and was about to chase after him when a hoarse voice sounded in her ears.
"Mo'er, this is playing hard to get. This man is definitely from the imperial court. You absolutely cannot believe what he says."
Zhuge Moer raised his hand and tapped his head, "Don't make noise, I'm thinking about something."
…
After returning to the yard, Li Yanmo began his daily practice.
Despite the help of spiritual fruits, Li Yanmo's training speed has slowed down a lot since leaving the super advanced training field of Tianxu Tower. It took him more than half a month to condense the fourteenth spiritual energy vortex and reach the fourteenth level of Qi training. As for the foundation, building materials were added step by step.
But Li Yanmo is not in a hurry. The radical pursuit of realm will only lead to an unstable foundation.
Although Li Yanmo didn't know why he should be so radical in his current state.
The hundredth level of Qi training? Or the hundredth level of foundation building?
Thinking of this, Li Yanmo couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
A day passed in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, Daohai and Leng Ningshuang ran out to have fun as they did in their own personalities. Li Yanmo was planning to practice as usual.
A sharp and rapid howl broke the apparent tranquility of Nanyang City. Along with a heavy roar, a huge formation rose up and covered the sky of Nanyang City.
Just when Li Yanmo's face was full of question marks, a hurried shout came from outside the door.
"Monster attack! Monster attack! It's the Sky Devouring Locust!"
"Monster attack?"
Li Yanmo immediately took out the Jingzhou intelligence book that the monk from the Military Gate had provided to him before, and after flipping through it quickly, he soon found the part about the Sky-Devouring Locusts.
A single Sky-Devouring Locust is not that strong, with the weak ones only at the Qi training level and the strong ones at the foundation building level. However, the Sky-Devouring Locust's strength lies in their large numbers, covering the sky and the earth, as if they are going to swallow up the sky. Once they are dispatched, even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage may be devoured in an instant. They mainly live in the core area of the Demon Plains and will only leave the core area of the Demon Plains during famine periods.
According to the records in the intelligence book, the last time the Sky-Eating Locusts attacked Nanyang City was a thousand years ago.
Why didn't he come earlier or later, but just when the super sect was trying to seize the tomb of the Fierce Emperor?
Just as Li Yanmo was thinking, the overwhelming sky-eating locusts crashed into the city defense formation with a crackling sound. Countless locusts were smashed into pieces, and the piled up insect corpses covered the formation, just like a dark cloud covering the sky above Nanyang City. The terrifying shadow gradually covered the entire Nanyang City.
The cultivators and mortals still in Nanyang City all breathed a sigh of relief.
Dayu’s specialty city defense formation is just the thing!
“Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch—”
The sound of gnawing that made one's scalp tingle came from the corpses of the locusts, and pairs of blood-red eyes tore through the shadows.
The sky-eating locusts ate their own kind piled on the city defense formation, and then gnawed at the city defense formation fiercely.
Some were killed by the rebound of the city defense formation, while others were bitten to death by other creatures before they could even take two bites.
Although the city defense formation remained motionless, such a cruel scene still caused a lot of trouble.
At this moment, a golden light rose from the direction of the prefectural government.
Governor Du Chen, who was in the fusion stage, simply took action and swung his palm out, covering the sky and the earth. The sky-eating locusts entrenched in the city defense formation were wiped away like dust.
No matter how ferocious the Sky-Eating Locusts are, they are nothing more than ants in front of a cultivator in the fusion stage.
