Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16005 Distress
Yang Qingyu came out of his room. He did not linger at the outer gate but walked straight to the market. Soon he arrived at the market and came to the door of a merchant house called Yangji Grain Shop. He went straight inside.

The grain sold in this grain shop is divided into two types: ordinary grain, which is prepared for independent cultivators or ordinary people, and spirit rice, which is generally prepared for members of large families. The ordinary grain is all on the first floor, while the spirit rice is on the second floor.

As soon as Yang Qingyu entered the grain store, the people there saw him. One of the shop assistants, who looked to be in his twenties, smiled and said, "Qingyu's here. Your father is in the backyard."

The speaker was Yang Qinghe, who was of the same generation as Yang Qingyu. He failed to reach the power level a few years ago, so he came here directly as a shop assistant. If Yang Qingyu also fails to reach the power level in a few days, he will probably end up like him. They are both members of the Yang family.

Yang Qingyu's father, Yang Yonggang, was a manager at the grain store. He was in charge of ordinary grain, so there was not much profit to be made, and he earned just enough for his family to live on.

Yang Qingyu used to come here often, so Yang Qinghe already knew him. After thanking him, Yang Qingyu walked to the backyard. The backyard was a large courtyard with several sheds set up. Inside the sheds were some grain sacks. A middle-aged man in his forties was counting the quantities, holding a pen and a notebook, and constantly making notes.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Yang Qingyu immediately said, "Father."

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked over. When he saw that it was Yang Qingyu, a smile immediately appeared on his face. Then he said, "Qingyu, what brings you here?"

Yang Qingyu immediately said, "I had nothing to do today, so I came to see you."

"What do I have to look at? You should focus on your cultivation and strive to reach the Qi level. Then your father can finally hold his head high with you."

"I understand, Father. I will definitely reach the power level." In the past, Yang Qingyu might have felt a little guilty when he said this, but now he felt no guilt at all.

Upon hearing Yang Qingyu's words, Yang Yonggang couldn't help but smile. He then said with a smile, "Alright, you should cultivate diligently. Here, I have a few spirit stones here; take them." Yang Yonggang knew that Yang Qingyu's talent wasn't particularly outstanding, but he still hoped that Yang Qingyu could cultivate well; that was his wish.

Yang Qingyu immediately waved his hand and said, "No need, Father. As long as you're alright, I'll be going now. I need to go back to cultivate." After saying that, he walked out. Yang Yonggang called him once, but he didn't turn around. So Yang Yonggang stopped calling him, glanced at his back, a smile appeared on his face, and then turned around to start counting the grain again.

Yang Qingyu did not return to her room, but instead headed towards the Yang family's residence.

The Yang family owns a small town in Shangyang Sect. Almost all the residents of this town are members of the Yang family, and it is also the ancestral home of the Yang family. As the population of the Yang family has grown, the Yang family has become a small town.

Yang Qingyu stood outside the small town of the Yang family, gazing at the town walls for a long time without moving. Then he turned and returned to his room. As soon as he got back, he went straight into the meditation room. He sat there, quietly thinking about the small town of the Yang family, and at the same time, about Yang Dingtian. His jealousy grew stronger and stronger. He sat in the meditation room until dark before finally returning to his room to rest.

The next morning, he continued his cultivation, and this time he received another reward. He once again chose to improve his talent. As he cultivated, he discovered that one day of cultivation was equivalent to twenty days of cultivation before. This made Yang Qingyu even happier, knowing that he had chosen the right method.

Then he began practicing his sword again. After finishing his practice, he came out of the room and headed towards the outer sect disciple management office. He had to go there to take on a mission. Although he was a member of the Yang family and received a certain allowance from the family every year, the amount of spirit stones was far from enough for him. Therefore, he had to take on sect missions. This was the reality of some large families. When a family became too big, it would concentrate most of its resources on a few talented disciples, while ordinary family disciples like Yang Qingyu would receive very little. Yang Qingyu usually accepts short-term tasks, preferably ones that can be completed in one or two days. For example, they might go to the wild to find some herbs. Although large sects like Shangyang Sect have their own medicinal fields, some herbs have high environmental requirements and can only be collected wild. The alchemists might not collect them themselves, so they would directly assign these tasks to the outer sect disciples. These tasks are not very dangerous and can be completed in a short time, so they will not affect the outer sect disciples' cultivation and can also earn them spirit stones. Therefore, many outer sect disciples will accept such tasks.

Yang Qingyu arrived at the outer sect disciples' management office and went straight to the task board. He then saw a task that was very simple: go to Shouyang Mountain and find the Rejuvenation Grass.

Rejuvenating Grass is not a particularly precious medicinal herb. It is abundant on Shouyang Mountain. However, this herb has another characteristic: it has very high requirements for soil, making it difficult to cultivate. Moreover, there are not many of these herbs available. Therefore, Shangyang Sect does not cultivate them themselves. If needed, they simply go up the mountain to collect them.

Yang Qingyu immediately accepted the mission. After registering the mission at the mission desk, he went directly to Shouyang Mountain. Shouyang Mountain was not far from their area, only a little over a hundred miles away. Although Yang Qingyu did not fly there, he used his lightness technique and arrived at Shouyang Mountain in no time.

Yang Qingyu accepted the mission because he knew where the Rejuvenation Herb was located in Shouyang Mountain, so the mission was very simple for him.

Upon reaching the foot of Shouyang Mountain, Yang Qingyu let out a long breath, glanced at the mountain, and then found a rock to sit down. While resting, he thought about the small town of the Yang family and Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian had never done any of this. From the moment he was born, he had been the focus of the Yang family's attention. There was no way he could have done these kinds of jobs. And yet, he was also a member of the Yang family, but he had to do these jobs. How unfair was fate!

After resting for half an hour, Yang Qingyu went up the mountain. Once on the mountain, he checked the direction again and headed straight in that direction. After walking for about an hour, he came to a small valley. The valley was not very big, but it looked very deep. It was dark inside and he couldn't see anything.

Yang Qingyu went straight into the small valley. This small valley was not dangerous, as it could not be considered a deep mountain and there were no monsters there, so he went straight into the small valley.

In this small valley, there is a small pool of water. A layer of white mist hangs over the pool year after year. Yang Qingyu knows that the water in the pool is very cold. If you put your hand in it, you can get frostbite. But it never freezes, which is very strange.

Yang Qingyu had previously thought there was something special or a treasure in the pool, but after inquiring, he learned that it was just an ordinary cold pool with no treasures inside. Many people in the Shangyang Sect knew about this cold pool, and some had even tried to fish in it, but of course, they found nothing. So, gradually, no one paid any attention to it anymore. However, Yang Qingyu knew that there was a large patch of Rejuvenating Grass around the cold pool, and that's why he came here.

He quickly arrived at the cold pool and glanced at it. The cold pool was still the same as before. He then looked around and found a large amount of Rejuvenation Grass. Without any hesitation, he immediately went forward to collect the Rejuvenation Grass. This time, the task he had requested was not just one or two Rejuvenation Grasses, but a full 100 catties, which was why he went to collect them.

Just as he was gathering the Rejuvenating Grass, a flash of green light suddenly appeared from the grass and shot straight towards Yang Qingyu. Yang Qingyu had no idea that there was something alive in the grass, so he couldn't dodge the green light at all. The green light hit his shoulder directly, and he felt a numbness in his shoulder. He turned his head and saw a small green snake biting his shoulder. He was shocked and was about to reach out to hit it when the snake moved and jumped back into the grass, then disappeared.

Yang Qingyu immediately checked the condition of his shoulder, and his expression changed. He saw two clear teeth marks on his shoulder, and the area around the teeth marks had turned bluish-green.

Yang Qingyu immediately realized that the snake was venomous. He quickly took out a porcelain bottle, opened it, poured out a pill, and prepared to put it in his mouth. However, he soon discovered that the arm where the snake had bitten him was completely numb and unresponsive. He was shocked; he hadn't expected the snake's venom to be so potent. He quickly used his other hand to throw the pill into his mouth. He then poured out another pill and put it in his mouth as well. He realized that the medicine was very strong, so he couldn't just take one pill. The pills he was using were just ordinary antidotes; while they could neutralize many poisons, they weren't very effective against particularly potent ones. That's why he took two.

Even so, he still felt half of his body begin to go numb, which caused Yang Qingyu's expression to change drastically. He knew very well that he could no longer return to the sect to seek help, and the antidote pills seemed to be of little use against this poison. This discovery filled Yang Qingyu with despair. He was truly unwilling to accept it. Was he going to die here? He had just had a miraculous encounter and was about to soar to great heights. Was he going to die here? He was unwilling, he was truly unwilling.

Just then, it suddenly occurred to him, "That's right, I've had a miraculous encounter, so could I ask the God of Jealousy to help me detoxify?" With that thought, he immediately sat down with difficulty, closed his eyes, and entered that space.
