My Daily Life of Farming in the World of Cultivation-Chapter 54 - : The Pirates’ Way Out

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: The Pirates’ Way Out

Upon hearing what Fang Yun said, both Fang Lin and Fang Zhou realized that his mind was made up. He could not be persuaded otherwise.

In truth, they were somewhat mentally prepared for Fang Yun’s departure.

They just did not expect it to happen so soon.

In the past, cultivators, due to issues with aptitude, would take over ten years to reach the first Qi Cultivation level and then break through to the second level.

Such a lengthy period allowed the other clan elders to mentally prepare themselves for a departure from the island.

They even prepared for the possibility that they might never return.

...

But Fang Yun was different. Due to the “Golden Finger” he possessed, his cultivation speed was significantly faster than previous cultivators.

This led to a situation where only a few years after the last generation of cultivators left, Fang Yun also wanted to leave.

For the elders of the Fang Family, this was indeed a difficult thing to accept.

However challenging it was to accept, they could not oppose Fang Yun’s decision.

After all, this was a world dominated by cultivators. As mere mortals, they could only offer some advice but ultimately could not dictate a cultivator’s decisions.

“Alright, Clan Leader, since you have decided, we can’t persuade you any longer.

“We’ll gather all the clan elders now for a meeting and quickly start searching for someone with a Spirit Root.”

Seeing the somewhat desolate expressions on Fang Lin and Fang Zhou’s faces, Fang Yun couldn’t help but feel a tinge of guilt.

But on second thought, he knew he couldn’t meet their expectations by staying on the island for ten to twenty years.

*Such a delay would be a severe hit to his cultivation journey.*

Subsequently, Fang Yun allowed Fang Lin and Fang Zhou to leave and gather the other clan elders for a meeting.

He had already conveyed his decision to them, and Fang Yun did not plan to face the other clan elders anymore.

After all, even if he faced the other elders, all he would encounter was endless persuasion.

*Just the thought of it gave Fang Yun a massive headache.*

*It was better to let Fang Lin and the others handle it.*

After Fang Lin and the others left, Fang Yun went back to the fields where soybeans were being planted.

He saw the pirates harvesting soybeans and the weeds.

Strands of cool, refreshing energy continued to gather around him.

Feeling this cool energy, a faint smile appeared on Fang Yun’s face.

It wasn’t that he was satisfied with the harvested Life Essence Qi, but he enjoyed the gentle, cool sensation and the sense of harvest it brought.

At that moment, five pirate leaders hesitantly approached.

Seeing them, Fang Yun’s smile faded away.

He remembered the few Innate Martial Artists he didn’t know how to handle.

At this time, the Black Widow stepped forward and said, “Immortal Master, these soybeans and weeds will be harvested soon.

“What is our next task?”

Fang Yun glanced at him, then looked at the busy pirates ahead.

From the Life Essence Qi harvested earlier, he realized that it was indeed much less compared to the Life Essence Qi from the crops in the canyon.

It was only about one-tenth as much.

That meant that roughly 1,000 acres of crops could only yield a point of Biological Essence.

And that was the Life Essence Qi from the soybeans’ harvest.

The Life Essence Qi from harvesting the weeds was even lower.

Calculating this, the tens of thousands of acres now only yielded a few dozen points of Life Essence Qi.

To be honest, compared to the seeds he had sown, the harvest was acceptable.

However, the time required for this was too long. Compared to harvesting nearly 300 points of Life Essence Qi in just under three months from Spirit Rice, these ordinary crops were indeed trivial.

Moreover, after this harvest, Fang Yun could no longer sense the information of their seeds.

This meant the seeds from these crops, even if replanted, would be of no use to him.

Unless he went through the process of nurturing another batch of crops to collect the seeds again.

*But considering the time and effort that would take, Fang Yun was simply unwilling.*

*If he didn’t want to continue, how should he handle these pirates?*

These pirates were initially kept by him to expand the crop planting area.

But now the farming results did not meet his expectations.

Since the project failed, the pirates he insisted on keeping were now somewhat troublesome.

Obviously, aside from himself, the Fang Family had no need for these pirates.

Moreover, these pirates, unlike the few pirate leaders before him, were far too numerous.

Fang Yun had never considered killing them all. It was unrealistic.

But if not killing them, what else could he do?

*Could he really do what Fang Lin suggested earlier, taking them to the black market outside the island to sell them as slaves?*

*Just pondering the thought made it seem troublesome enough, and the gold and silver gained from such an exchange weren’t what he wanted.*

As he thought about this, he glanced at the pirate leaders standing respectfully beside him.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

And then considered that in the coming years, he would likely leave the island with no knowledge of the outside world.

*Perhaps he could release these pirates and use them to gather intelligence.*

*This way, when he eventually left Spirit Water Island, he wouldn’t be totally in the dark about the outside situation.*

After pondering over this idea, Fang Yun felt it was achievable.

He then turned to the anxious group and said, “Do you wish to leave this island?”

With Fang Yun’s words, the five Innate Martial Artists instantly knelt in fright.

“Immortal Master, we’ve been living well on this island and never thought of leaving!”

They believed Fang Yun showed killing intent because he thought they intended to betray him.

*This felt like such an injustice to them.*

After all, with the presence of someone like Fang Yun, how could they possibly dare to escape?

Outside the island, they were insignificant without their subordinates.

If they escaped, any pirate force could easily annihilate them.

This made them dare not entertain any thoughts of escape.

Fang Yun shook his head, “What if I allow you to leave?”

The Black Widow and others looked up in bewilderment at Fang Yun, not understanding his intentions.

Fang Yun continued, “To be frank, I will also leave this island in a few years, but I know too little about the world outside.

“I want you to take these pirates out, establish a new pirate force, and gather all the intelligence you can about the Cultivation World for me.”
