Heaven Court, Ling Yu Bao Temple.
A conference is being held in the Assembly of Immortals.
“ Everyone1, a new generation of Shennong has awakened, do you have any suggestion on how to train him?”
The Jade Emperor sat high above, looking down at the immortals from above, an aura of majesty that radiated unparalleled.
“Your Majesty, this new generation of Shennong can be moved directly to heaven, we have the resources in heaven, enough to upgrade Shennong quickly.”
“Yes, we haven't had Shennong in the heavens for thousands of years. Now all kinds of high-grade raw materials have become scarce. If we continue to do so, the operation of our heavens will be stagnant. Now we must let Shennong advance quickly.”
“I also agree, with Shennong, it is enough to alleviate the crisis in our heavenly court..”
“Shennong is very important to our heavenly court. For thousands of years, just because there is no Shennong in here, the majesty of our heavens has fallen.”
“Yes, I always wanted to refine a group of advanced elixir, but because of the lack of several high-grade raw materials, I can’t refine it until now…”
Many immortals have talked about it in succession, all having excitement on their faces.
After thousands of years of hardship, the Shennong was finally born, and the good days that represent them are finally coming.
They are very concerned about the cultivation of Shennong.
“This is not appropriate, it is very inappropriate.”
Suddenly there was a voice of opposition.
Many immortals look at the back, it is Taishang Laozi2.
Taishang Laozi's position in the heavenly court is high. Even the Jade Emperor must respect him because Taishang Laozi is an incarnation of the Daode Tianzun (sages of moral celestial being) in heaven, and representative of the saints(Taoist).
“Your Majesty, the immortals, and mortals of all ages have stepped out from the secular world. They have experienced life in the mortal world, understand the sufferings of the world, and slowly got enlightened. In the end, they will be able to achieve the position of Shennong. If we directly transfer this generation of Shennong to heaven, it will only spoil things by undue haste (destructive), because he will lose a complete growth process, The Shennong cultivated in that way will never be able to achieve greatness.” Said Taishang Laozi directly and slightly bow to the Jade Emperor, his eyes glanced at the audience.
The Jade Emperor and many of the immortals were silent, and the words of Laozi were very reasonable.
These immortals, which ones have not experienced a long process of cultivation, do not know how much suffering they have suffered, how many difficulties they have suffered, and until have achievements at the present day.
In this way, Taishang Laozi directly convinced the Jade Emperor and many immortals, and soon discussed a plan to train a new generation of Shennong.
…,
Earth.
Yufeng Village, Jingguo County
The whole village is very occluded, surrounded by hills, and only a narrow cement road leads to the outside world.
However, the soil here is not bad. Most of the villagers plant a variety of crops. When they are idle, they go out to work, and only come back home and enjoy homely things.
There is just a red-tile and white-tile house scattered under the hills.
Today, there is another thunderstorm.
In the past few months, it has rained heavily, and many of the crops that have been planted have been affected. Even if it enters June, it will be heavy rain every three to five days.
Ye Xiaochen sat in a simple tin house and looked at the bad weather. It was very depressing.
Not far away, two big lazy dogs are lying and sticking out their tongues.
He is an Agricultural University graduate in Southern Province. He has a hard time finding a job and has no relationship. He can only enter a sales company and become a salesperson. However, he is introverted, he is clumsy with words, and often faces trouble while communicating with others, while communicating with other people he faces huge obstacles.
He hasn't sold anything for two months. In the end, he had to resign.
He returned to his hometown and prepared to build a vegetable and fruit farm. Anyway, he is an agricultural origin, and it is the most suitable profession for him.
Mom and Dad didn’t understand very much at first. In their opinion, working and living in the city was decent. If they came back, Isn't this going to continue their traditional work as a farmer?
Ye Xiaochen said lots of bad things about city life, but his parents still think it’s an ideological work.
Finally, his parents took out the savings that they had prepared to use during Ye Xiaochen's marriage. Well, there are not many, just twenty or thirty thousand yuan. After all, the parents also work in various fields and occasionally go out to work as small workers and earn income every year to have to support Ye Xiaochen and Ye Ying for the tuition and living expenses.
His dad has high blood pressure, his mother has rheumatism, and medical expenses of them are also not a small sum.
It is not easy to save twenty or thirty thousand yuan.
Ye Xiaochen used the money and borrowed some from other relatives. He collected fifty thousand yuan and contracted a large area of a barren field.
This barren field does not cost much money and had hundreds of acres long.
Most of the money is used on the construction of fences and greenhouses.
Even if Ye Xiaochen tried to save money, by the time the fence and the greenhouses were built, plus the seeds, fertilizers, etc., and now there is not much left.
Now Ye Xiaochen's farm is planted with seasonal fruits and vegetables, such as cucumbers, beans, green beans, leeks, watermelons, melons, etc.
As for sales, he doesn't have to worry about it for a while, because his uncle's eldest son opened a supermarket in the county town. The vegetables and fruits he planted will be sold in his cousin's supermarket.
Because of this, Ye Xiaochen dared to build this farm and invested all the savings in the family.
“Mom, this bad weather, will greatly affect the yield and quality of vegetables and fruits.”
Ye Xiaochen looked at the sky and occasionally there was a thunder, it made him very depressed.
Seasonal vegetables and fruits have a high demand for sunlight. If the water is too abundant, it will affect the quality of production.
Agricultural production is largely dependent on the Gods.
Just thinking about this,
suddenly the phone in his trouser pocket rang.
He quickly took it out and saw it. His cousin Chen Hao was calling him. This Chen Hao is the uncle’s eldest son. He opened a supermarket in the county town. His father-in-law is an old cadre of the government department. He is also a deputy director of the Health Bureau. Chen Hao used this relationship to get mixed up in the county.
“Hey, Hao Ge3, how do you have time to call me today?” Ye Xiaochen answered.
“Chen zi (Morning child)4, there is something, I have to tell you.”
Chen Hao at the other end of the phone was silent and said: “I have promised to always buy the fruits and vegetables from your farm, but your sister-in-law does not agree, she...”
Ye Xiaochen waited for Chen Hao to finish the talk, and his head banged and suddenly understood what was going on, and he felt bitter pain in his heart.
It seems that if I want to sell vegetables and fruits in my cousin's supermarket is impossible. My cousin Chen Hao's wife, Li Yan, has seen it. She is a powerful woman. It is very snobbish. She considers low of Ye Xiaochen like poor relatives, even her uncle and aunt who have always been bullied.
Cousins can have today's achievements, a large part of the reason is to rely on his wife's family relationship, because of this, his cousin's wife Li Yan is very powerful, and cousin Chen Hao must please Li Yan everywhere.
“Chen Zi, I am so sorry, but you can rest assured that I will try to find other ways for you.”
Chen Hao is somewhat unwilling to go. After all, he has already promised, and now he is going back on this word, he felt sorry and embarrassed.
“Hao Ge, nothing, you can rest assured.” When Ye Xiaochen spoke again, he was scared and his voice seemed hoarse.
“Hey, Chen zi, then I am hanging up. I will inform you if there is more information.”
Chen Hao sighed and hung up the phone.
Ye Xiaochen suddenly has a sense of guilt, the original bright future seems to be suddenly gone, and sure enough, relying on others is difficult!
He put down his cell phone from his ear. Suddenly, in the dark sky, followed by dazzling lightning that suddenly fell from the sky, penetrating the shed, Ye Xiaochen did not react in time, and he was hit by lightning, and the whole person seemed to become a lightning rod.
Surprisingly, the shed was not
stumbled by lightning.
The two lying dogs suddenly stood up, their whole hair body erected, and they stared at Ye Xiaochen's position and issued a low roar.

- Laozi itself is an honorific title: 老 (Old *rˤuʔ, “old, venerable”), he is founder of taoism and is considered ot be the incarnation of Daode Tianzun. Daode Tianzun (道德天尊) is the official title for Tàiqīng (太清): the Grand Pure One, which is one of the Three Pure Ones. He is commonly known as Taishang Laojun (太上老君) “The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord”. His other names include Daode Zhizun 道德至尊 “The Universally Honoured Virtuous One”, Daojiao Zhizu
- Hao Ge = Older Brother Hao, I still use “ge” for “gege” like nii-chan in japan novel.
- Chen zi, the meaning is same as Morning Child, maybe because he is farmer so it called like that (lol). But for Chen zi in here, Chen Hao call Ye Xiaochen for Chen zi because ….
