Huangfu Yuchen lifted the tea and took a sip, immediately getting straight to the point, “Xiao Ge and I have intentions to establish a farm in the capital. The farm will be enclosed by a large-scale gathering spirit array. At that time, the vegetables, fruits, and crops grown inside will possess spiritual energy…”
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Zhiyuan, Liu Xianglong, and Zhang Youze had already stood up in astonishment, staring at Huangfu Yuchen in shock, subconsciously ready to question if it was true.
However, being elders, the three of them quickly regained their composure. They sat back down, and waited for Huangfu Yuchen to continue.
Huangfu Yuchen was quite satisfied with their reactions. “Moreover, within the gathering spirit array, the spiritual energy within the plants will gradually form a complete cycle, sustaining perpetual growth. My request to you is not to interfere with the farm in the name of the country. Within a maximum of four years, Xiao Ge and I will leave. By that time, the farm, including its resources, will be gifted to the nation, which is to say, to all of you.”
The shock still lingered on the faces of Wang Zhiyuan, Liu Xianglong, and Zhang Youze.
Liu Xianglong and Zhang Youze quickly calculated in their minds. Huangfu Yuchen and Yan Ge would leave after four years. But if they could get such a large resource now, the overall strength of their secret team would be greatly improved…
Huangfu Yuchen observed their expressions and lightly added, “Have you considered why I’m telling you about this? I could very well establish the farm first, and anyone who has ill intentions can be directly kicked out when the time comes.”
Zhang Youze and Liu Xianglong were shaken, suddenly coming back to their senses and regretting their earlier confusion. Huangfu Yuchen’s strength far surpassed Wang Zhiyuan’s, and with the addition of Yan Ge, another individual with profound cultivation, these two individuals were even more formidable. Also, according to Wang Zhiyuan’s deductions, the peculiar explosion at the Mo’an Temple last night was highly likely to be connected to these two people. Could they afford to offend such individuals? The reason Huangfu Yuchen was straightforward about this matter was simply to avoid annoying troubles. If they still dared to entertain unwarranted thoughts in this situation, not only would they offend Huangfu Yuchen and Yan Ge, but they might even push the two experts into opposition against them. The consequences of such actions were beyond what they could handle. One more enemy was not as good as one more friend.
Once they had a clear understanding, Zhang Youze and Liu Xianglong’s expressions returned to normal, and they exchanged glances with Wang Zhiyuan.
Wang Zhiyuan nodded at the two, secretly relieved. Liu Xianglong and Zhang Youze had come to their senses, which was good. He was genuinely worried they might make a hasty and incorrect decision. If they really offended Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen under these circumstances, it would cause immense damage to the cultivation world of Huaxia.
Zhang Youze asked, “After the farm is established, cultivators will surely flock to it, requesting to practice inside. How does Mr. Huangfu plan to handle that?”
Huangfu Yuchen responded with a blend of indifference and authority, “They can come in for a meal, but practicing inside is not allowed.”
Wang Zhiyuan and the others exchanged a glance. This statement contained some room for interpretation, indicating that Huangfu Yuchen didn’t intend to make things overly strict.
The four of them discussed a few more details, and the matter was settled.
After the main topic was discussed, Wang Zhiyuan enthusiastically said, “Mr. Huangfu, let’s order some dishes first, then we can chat at our leisure.”
“No need, I have other matters.” Huangfu Yuchen stood up. “If there’s something, I’ll contact you.”
Wang Zhiyuan and the others didn’t want to insist, so they accompanied him to the door.
Watching Huangfu Yuchen’s car leave, Wang Zhiyuan turned to Liu Xianglong and Zhang Youze, “Mr. Huangfu and that other gentleman are a couple. I’ve investigated the Yan family. The reason Mr. Huangfu wants to establish the farm is largely to stand up for Mr. Yan, so we don’t need to provoke them. We just have to wait for four years.”
“Zhiyuan, you can rest assured.” Zhang Youze also came to understand. “Four years is four years.”
Liu Xianglong also nodded. “This deal makes sense. We can wait.”
As the three of them headed back, Zhang Youze looked at the night sky and said, “Four years might seem long, but in the cultivation world, it’s really just a fleeting moment.”
Liu Xianglong agreed, “Indeed, time passes quickly when you’re focused on cultivation.”
On the way home, Huangfu Yuchen made a trip to the supermarket and bought some fresh ingredients. After arriving home and not finding Yan Ge there, he called him, leaving his phone on the countertop before starting to prepare and wash the vegetables.
The call was quickly connected, and Yan Ge’ cheerful voice came through, “Yuchen, are you done with your tasks?”
“Yeah, I just got home. How’s it going on your end?”
“The quantity is too much, the fastest this can be finished is the day after tomorrow. I’m about to head back.”
“There’s no rush, a few more days won’t hurt. We can use the time to find a suitable location.” Huangfu Yuchen put the washed cucumbers onto a plate and started washing some greens.
“Are you washing vegetables?” Yan Ge asked with a mischievous tone in his voice.
Huangfu Yuchen could imagine the playful expression on his face as he spoke, and a smile tugged at his lips. “They’re all your favorite dishes.”
“I’ll be there in half an hour.”
“Drive safely.”
After that, the two of them spent two days touring the entire capital, eventually settling on Fengshan. Almost all the developable areas in the capital had already been developed, and even the unused plots of land had owners. Fengshan was Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen’s only viable choice.
However, the government’s attitude toward Fengshan was unclear. Huangfu Yuchen called Wang Zhiyuan again, promising not to damage the precious tree species on the mountain and ensure no harm would come to the wildlife.
With that assurance, Wang Zhiyuan readily agreed to handle this matter. The spirit gathering array would benefit the forest on Fengshan.
In less than an hour, Wang Zhiyuan called back, confirming that the rights to use Fengshan would belong to Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen for the next ten years. He would send over the relevant documents and certificates as soon as possible.
Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen spent half a day flying over Fengshan to gain a better understanding of its terrain. Afterwards, they explored the mountain thoroughly, ensuring that all the precious trees and animals moved into Yan Ge’s system backpack. They subsequently planned the entire farm and even enlisted a professional planner to draw up the design for Fengshan Farm.
Three days later, they contacted three renowned construction companies in the capital to begin the construction of the farm, or rather, the transformation of the mountain.
After finishing these tasks, they temporarily resided in Yan Ge’s system backpack. After the Male Consort System upgraded to 100% capability, the backpack became an independent small world, teeming with vitality, abundant spiritual energy, harmonious landscapes, and diverse flora and fauna. The three-story ancient-style building on the island in the middle of the lake became their favorite place to stay. The wildlife transferred from Fengshan roamed around joyfully, clearly enjoying the environment. One remarkable feature of this space was the spring just behind the small building. The spring water not only refreshed the mind but also helped stabilize and enhance cultivation. Furthermore, it had an excellent nourishing effect on the forest. Huangfu Yuchen dared to transplant trees from Fengshan because he knew the spring water in their space would sustain them.
They spent much of their time cultivating within the system, and every three to five days, they would venture out to check the progress of the construction.
Wang Zhiyuan, Liu Xianglong, and Zhang Youze also attached importance to the farm. They arranged supervisors to oversee the construction to prevent any shortcuts, which relieved the burden on Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen.
With more people, there was more strength. Two months later, Fengshan Farm was completed.
Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen began hiring a large number of workers who would later be responsible for cultivating vegetables, managing the orchard, growing crops, maintaining flower gardens, tending the forests, and more. Later, they transplanted seasonal flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees from various places. For example, grapes, watermelons, and peaches. While normally transplanted trees had a hard time surviving, Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen’s use of the spring water to irrigate the plants ensured that all the flora thrived and bloomed overnight.
Next, they spent over two thousand low grade spirit stones to set up a gathering spirit array. They chose a special formation that combined both spiritual accumulation and defensive properties. This array could accumulate spiritual energy while shielding against external attacks. If anyone wanted to enter the farm, they could only use the main entrance.
Furthermore, the concentration of spiritual energy in different areas of the farm varied. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to tolerate too strong spiritual energy. Consuming the vegetables and fruits grown in these areas would be sufficient for them.
With everything arranged, Yan Ge discreetly transferred the animals and plants back from the space to Fengshan Farm, letting them return to their original habitat. Although there were more people on Fengshan now, the animals couldn’t bear to leave the abundant spiritual energy, so they chose to stay.
The farm would establish strict rules. It wouldn’t allow theft of trees or harm to the wildlife. Moreover, Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen specifically went into the primeval forests and captured harmless wild animals, using spiritual energy to help refine their meridians. To a certain extent, this increased their spiritual nature and ensured they wouldn’t harm humans. Additionally, they attached small protective spirit stones to the animals’ necks, guaranteeing they wouldn’t be harmed by anyone with malicious intent.
Huangfu Yuchen intentionally didn’t construct a parking lot but instead arranged for a dedicated public transit line from the city to Fengshan. If people wanted to visit the farm, they could only use the public bus.
Half a month later, Fengshan Farm opened quietly without any promotion.
Yan Ge invited Xu Kai, Yang Zhou, and other old friends. Xu Kai’s group was full of enthusiasm, and they brought along many family and friends. They expressed a little annoyance, saying that Huangfu Yuchen and Yan Ge hadn’t informed them in advance about the farm’s establishment, so they didn’t have the chance to help, and Yan Ge was made to drink several glasses of alcohol as punishment.
Huangfu Yuchen also invited Wang Zhiyuan and others, as well as a few businessmen he had met during the farm’s establishment.
Wang Zhiyuan and the others had special status, so Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen arranged two courtyards for them in the farm—one for the leader to stay and another for the members of the covert operations team to practice.
Overall, on the day of the grand opening, the number of visitors wasn’t substantial.
However, Huangfu Yuchen and Yan Ge weren’t concerned. They sat at a table with Xu Kai and others and enjoyed the evening together.
After taking a bite of vegetables, Lu Hanya’s eyes lit up. She took a few more bites and exclaimed, “This is amazing! I never thought cabbage could be cooked so deliciously. I’ve never had such tasty cabbage before.”
Xu Kai watched his son m enjoying the food and laughed, “Looks like we need to come here to eat more often. You see, my son never eats vegetables, but today, he’s just grabbing them.”
Yang Zhou also couldn’t stop eating. “Huangfu, Yan Ge, don’t worry, we’ll promote this place when we get back. I guarantee that tomorrow it will be packed. By the way, are the animals in the forest really not harmful? Tomorrow is Saturday, and I’m planning to bring my nephew to have some fun.”
“Rest assured,” Yan Ge assured. “As long as you don’t provoke them, they won’t harm anyone.”
Huangfu Yuchen added, “I’ve prepared some fruits for you when you leave, feel free to take a basket.”
“No charges today?” He Xin joked.
Huangfu Yuchen spoke generously, “No. Later, I’ll give each of you a VIP card, and you’ll receive an 20% discount whenever you dine here.”
“That’s great then!” Xu Kai was the first to approve. With his large business, he often had to entertain guests for meals. Having a VIP card would make it much more convenient to bring guests here in the future.
Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen spent some time eating with them before heading to other courtyards to gauge the guests’ reactions.
Everyone who had tasted the fruits and vegetables from the farm couldn’t help but praise them, stating that this was what true green vegetables should taste like.
From then on, the reputation of Feng Farm gradually began to spread.
In just three days, the farm appeared on television and in newspapers. As the owner of Fengshan Farm, Yan Ge became well-known among the public.
Upon hearing that Yan Ge had established such a vibrant farm and that one of its special wines was the same kind he had once smelled in the Emerald Villa, Yan Jiaqiang was so furious that he nearly choked.
Du Rulan was even more infuriated, smashing her favorite bottle of perfume in anger.
Huangfu Yuchen lifted the tea and took a sip, immediately getting straight to the point, “Xiao Ge and I have intentions to establish a farm in the capital. The farm will be enclosed by a large-scale gathering spirit array. At that time, the vegetables, fruits, and crops grown inside will possess spiritual energy…”
