Chapter 174 - 174 Revised 174 The Method That is Not a Method

174: Revised: Chapter 174 The Method That is Not a Method 174: Revised: Chapter 174 The Method That is Not a Method “Even if I told you, do you have the money to buy so many chicks?

You only have six or seven chickens, why do you care whether they grow fast or slow?”

Li Chun glared at Niu Manjun and scolded, “Go…

go, there’s no need for you to talk everywhere.

How come your mother didn’t think to sew your mouth shut?”

His attitude made the villagers burst into laughter.

Wu Xiaoyu was extremely embarrassed by being dragged along and could only mumble, “Just feed them with care!”

Niu Fengfeng, squatting in the corner, gave Wu Xiaoyu a disdainful glance and said coldly, “Master Chun, you can’t afford hormones anyway, so just feed them slowly and honestly!”

Hormones?

When Wu Xiaoyu heard these words, he was livid.

He didn’t know which jerk had spread the rumor that his chickens were growing fast because he injected them with hormones every night.

Some people even claimed to have seen boxes of hormones in the thatched house of his chicken farm.

When Wu Xiaoyu first heard it, he thought it was a joke.

After all, hormones are expensive.

If he injected them every night, he would be losing a lot of money.

However, the villagers believed it, and the rumor spread more and more, becoming increasingly bizarre.

Wu Xiaoyu was feeling increasingly unsettled.

Now Niu Fengfeng was openly accusing him of using hormones, making Wu Xiaoyu’s face darken immediately.

He shook off Li Chun and walked up to Niu Fengfeng, cursing, “What the hell are you talking about!”

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu’s anger, the surrounding villagers quickly tried to calm him down, “Xiaoyu, he was just talking randomly, don’t get angry, we’re all neighbors!”

Wu Xiaoyu turned to the villagers and said, “I know everyone has been discussing my chickens, saying I inject them with hormones every night.”

“I just want to ask everyone, are hormones cheap?

If I injected the chickens with hormones, could I still make any money?

Don’t just follow the crowd and be misled.”

The villagers were puzzled by his explanation.

He was right, if he injected hormones every night, it would cost a fortune.

How would he make any money?

But if his chickens weren’t injected with hormones, how could they grow so fast?

Hearing them whispering, Wu Xiaoyu continued, “My chicken farm is in the mountains, and there are many insects in the forest.

It’s natural for the chickens to grow faster eating insects.

What’s so strange about that?”

The crowd suddenly realized, enlightened.

There are insects in the forest!

No wonder Wu Xiaoyu took the risk of raising chickens in the mountains.

It was to let the chickens eat insects?

Some people, hearing this, ran home excitedly to make phone calls.

Seeing the people suddenly discussing the connection between insects and chickens, Wu Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly and went home.

Li Yuqi, who was out enjoying the sunset, saw Wu Xiaoyu’s figure and felt uneasy.

She didn’t know if it was envy, jealousy, or regret, or anger.

She had only returned home for a little over a month, and Wu Xiaoyu’s chicken farm had started to profit.

He had also made a lot of money selling shiitake mushrooms.

Now, he was even planning to start a shiitake mushroom sauce factory.

It made her feel depressed.

Why could a dropout farmer, someone the same age as her, make money doing anything?

Was it mocking her?

Mocking her for abandoning him, for underestimating him?

Feeling dejected, Li Yuqi had to comfort herself.

In the end, he was just a farmer.

Even if raising chickens made money, how much could he make?

Could he make more than a listed company?

She only had to maintain a stable relationship with her boyfriend.

After graduation, she could work at his family’s listed company, and a year or two of salary would equal more than ten years of his chicken farming!

Hmph!

What’s so great about it?

These villagers are really short-sighted, getting so envious over a small chicken farm.

It’s really pathetic!

After comforting herself, Li Yuqi turned and went home.

As soon as she got back, she heard her sister Li Yujia talking to their mother:

“Mom, when Brother Xiaoyu’s shiitake mushroom sauce factory is up and running, you can work there.

Our days will definitely get better and better!”

Their mother smiled and said, “You say let Mom go, and she can go!

The factory isn’t yours!”

Li Yujia said, “Brother Xiaoyu learned how to make shiitake mushroom sauce from Fourth Grandma.

He even said he’d give us some shares.

How could he not let you work there?”

“Don’t cause trouble.

We can’t take shares.

We didn’t invest any money!” their mother advised.

Li Yujia was about to nod in agreement but stopped when she saw her sister enter.

Their mother quickly said, “The factory is Xiaoyu’s.

Letting us work there is already taking good care of us…”

Before she could finish, Li Yuqi suddenly burst out, “Wu Xiaoyu…

Wu Xiaoyu, you all get along well with him!

Hasn’t he been taking care of you all?

Why are you still staying here?

Go find Wu Xiaoyu!”

Her sudden outburst scared their mother, who timidly and awkwardly said, “Not talking about it…

not talking about it…

you go back to your room and read!

I…

I’ll go cook!”

Li Yuqi glared at them, then went to her room, still seething.

Why couldn’t Wu Xiaoyu’s shadow ever leave?

Why did everyone always talk about him around her?

What was so great about him?

He just made a little money!

Wu Xiaoyu’s comments about insects and chickens were only meant to clarify that his chickens had never been injected with hormones.

But to the villagers, it was like discovering a way to make money.

Every household started building chicken coops in their yards to raise chickens.

Liu Sheng, even more thrilled, quickly informed Chen Zhaofeng at the Juxian Inn about the secret of Wu Xiaoyu’s chickens.

Chen Zhaofeng, having been immersed in the restaurant business for decades, knew that chickens eating insects would have better meat, but it wouldn’t be an extraordinary transformation.

There must be some special feeding technique.

He ordered Liu Sheng to continue investigating this secret.

To motivate Liu Sheng, Chen Zhaofeng even gave him eight hundred yuan, which made him more enthusiastic and confident.

Unaware of these shady dealings, Wu Xiaoyu was fully focused on his training.

He had even handed over the shiitake mushroom business to his cousin Wu Daqing.

The Yin Yang Longevity Technique has nine layers.

Each layer mastered would increase one’s level.

Wu Xiaoyu had been practicing the first layer for three months, his spiritual energy growing stronger, his meridians becoming clear, almost reaching a breakthrough.

In the past few days, besides occasionally showing up before his parents, Wu Xiaoyu spent day and night training inside the Jade Token, hoping to break through soon and cure his father’s illness.

On this clear, sunny day, Wu Xiaoyu cast aside all worries and focused on his spell, entering the Jade Token.

Just sitting down by the Chicken Blood Stone on the Spiritual Spring, he felt his spiritual energy clashing within, his meridians pulsing, as if a powerful force wanted to burst out.

Wu Xiaoyu forced himself to calm down, starting to run the Yin Yang Longevity Technique to channel this force.

As he cleared his meridians and gathered all his spiritual energy to his fingertips, he felt a massive, powerful force pressing on his fingertips, trying to scatter his gathered energy.

Wu Xiaoyu knew this was the critical moment.

If he could balance this powerful force, he would achieve external release of spiritual energy, reaching Qi Refining Realm.

If the gathered energy at his fingertips scattered, his meridians, even his internal organs, would suffer immense impact, endangering his life.
