Big Data Cultivation
Chapter 2223 - 2225: Team Treasure Farming
After Elder Qing Ji understood the reasoning, she felt much better, but she still asked, "Where did your information come from?"
"I have a disciple undergoing trials in the territory of the Golden Crow," Jing Quan replied with a smile, "He made acquaintance with several disciples from your esteemed sect. I asked him to inquire about Elder Qing Ji’s matters. Thankfully, he didn’t let me down and got some results."
"Enough," Immortal Yi Jue didn’t want Elder Qing Ji to get upset again, she coughed lightly, "It’s because Jing Quan cared enough to find out this secret, and besides, this matter won’t be hidden for long. Fellow Qing Ji, there’s no need to be annoyed."
"Of course I know it won’t be hidden for long," Elder Qing Ji muttered regretfully, "But before any benefits are distributed to me, the news is about to leak, which is really... infuriating!"
Immortal Yi Jue’s expression became serious, and she looked at Jing Quan, "Moli wishes to rest in the Void, and I have allowed it. The condition is that you must ensure it is effective in the Void. If it’s just about luck, I don’t recommend going, and also... you cannot go!"
Jing Quan Immortal blinked and asked in a deep voice, "Why can’t I go?"
"There are too many people," Immortal Yi Jue replied calmly, "Mountain Master Feng dislikes troublesome people. Participants can increase gradually, but if many show up at once... if he doesn’t take people to the Void, then everyone misses out."
Jing Quan Immortal blinked and pondered. He felt a bit reluctant... you all can go, but I can’t?
Seeing his silence, Yi Jue’s face turned a little cold, "I’m informing you to help your disciple—why hesitate? As Taixu says... where is your original intention?"
"Thank you for the guidance, Fairy," Jing Quan Immortal felt startled and stood up, giving her a heavy bow, "I almost strayed."
"No need to be so polite, just a moment of uneasy mind," Yi Jue waved her hand, speaking calmly, "The real question is, have you considered Moli’s recuperation after entering the Void?"
"I can borrow the Thick Earth Cauldron offered by Lingjiu," Jing Quan Immortal replied seriously, "I’ve found two spatial attribute cultivators to practice inside the cauldron, which should be better than the Spirit Restoration Array."
"Two spatial attribute cultivators?" Elder Qing Ji couldn’t help but murmur, "You really are willing to spend the money."
Jing Quan replied seriously, "Moli once helped me, how can I, as his mentor, betray him?"
"That’s not what I meant," Elder Qing Ji still felt a bit resentful, "I’m saying the more people who know, the less secure the secrecy!"
Jing Quan Immortal responded nonchalantly, "I will instruct those two cultivators. Now, what I want to know is, since Immortal Yi Jue approves, is this matter settled, or... do we still need to consult with Mountain Master Feng?"
"Of course, we need to ask him," Yi Jue answered without hesitation, "but rest assured, you have done him a favor before; there should be returns."
After Feng Jun learned about this, he did not immediately agree. His expression was a bit odd, "Using the Void to shorten recuperation time... are there many cultivators in Tianqin who need this?"
"Countless," Yi Jue replied straightforwardly, "If it can shorten recuperation time, I’d love to try it, just like the retreat two months ago... but if there’s no Thick Earth Cauldron, honest recuperation in the cave abode is also fine."
Feng Jun understood that if leveraging the time speed difference in the Void could accelerate physical recovery, almost everyone would choose this option, yet without suitable True Artifact protection and no need for prolonged retreats, the difference wasn’t significant.
In other words, it is indeed a good plan, but for most people, it’s not urgent, only people like Moli have a strong demand for this.
Therefore, he finally made a decision, "I can take people, but tell Jing Quan he must publicly announce that my trip in and out of the Void requires one thousand upper Spirit Stones!"
"One thousand upper Spirit Stones!" Elder Qing Ji was astonished, knowing that when Immortal Rongyang goes to Xuanhuang Sect for a deduction, they offer only two hundred upper Spirit Stones, which is already a top-tier deduction price, "Isn’t that a bit much?"
"I’m not taking their Spirit Stones," Feng Jun replied nonchalantly, "One thousand upper Spirit Stones is indeed a lot, but given the high demand, I can only raise the threshold."
He was already quite adept at this approach, just like how Earth Realm’s Cancer Care Center operates.
Cang Jing, who had a more traditional mindset, hurriedly spoke, "Mountain Master Feng, please be cautious, clearly it’s just a slight effort. Such a high fee, should it incite public anger...not every cultivator will reason with you."
In a society that highly values ethics, Feng Jun’s behavior of opening his mouth wide truly easily evokes feelings of injustice.
However, he smiled nonchalantly, glancing sideways at Yi Jue, "Immortal Yi Jue, what do you think?"
"Is their need important, and our cultivation time not important?" True to her reputation, Yi Jue expressed with disdain, "Don’t reason? Haha, many Divine Spirit Stage cultivators can take people to and fro Void, yet haven’t troubled True Immortal Divine Spirit!"
"At the end of the day, it’s just about leveraging cultivation to intimidate others. Healing is inherently like this... when pockets lack Spirit Stones, choose another healing method; we can’t assume others are obliged to lower prices!"
Feng Jun gave a thumbs up, "Indeed, that’s the tone Immortal Yi Jue should have. You’re right, I think the same way. Once the price is lowered and the demand surges, how can I ensure my cultivation? After all, the primary task of a cultivator is cultivation!"
Elder Cang Jing was speechless as well and took a long time before saying, "You are indeed correct, but in the future, your life... might not be so peaceful. There are truly people who don’t like to reason."
"Then I’ll fight them until they reason," Feng Jun smiled, then looked helplessly at Yi Jue, "Look at the trouble you’ve stirred up."
Yi Jue also regretted a bit, "I really didn’t expect this, otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to Jing Quan."
"It doesn’t matter; what’s meant to come will eventually come," Feng Jun was quite philosophical about it. News of him being able to enter and exit the Void Space had spread, just like someone would surely think of going to the Void to seek profits. It’s only a matter of time before someone thinks of using the time flow difference for healing; it’s strange if no one thinks of it.
So there’s nothing much to worry about—worrying is useless anyway.
What he was concerned about now was, "I really don’t know if Master Moli’s injuries are suitable for recovery in the Void; let’s simulate it first."
Master Moli arrived faster than they expected—Jing Quan personally went to his retreat, broke through the barriers, and called him out.
Feng Jun simulated it for him again and found that it could indeed be done, only then did he agree to let him stay.
Another day passed, and all preparations were ready. Feng Jun, along with Yi Jue, Qing Ji, Cang Jing, and Moran, entered the same Void Space where they had previously battled Tiegu.
Elder Qing Ji couldn’t help but ask, "Why not go to that Big Stone?"
"We need to open up another spot this time," Immortal Yi Jue answered without hesitation, "With so many people, choosing only one spot would yield limited benefits, which would be a huge waste."
Before Elder Qing Ji could speak, Cang Jing expressed her opinion, "That’s right, opening more spots is necessary. I wish I could occupy one spot by myself to avoid competing with you all."
Elder Qing Ji inwardly snorted: You two truly are good friends; you must have communicated this in advance?
But even though she thought that, she knew it wasn’t a bad thing, so she smiled and said, "That sounds good. We’ll have to trouble Mountain Master Feng to help find a suitable place... Of course, the profits from the Void should also have an agreement, so we won’t be forgotten."
Being forgotten was just a joke; Feng Jun would never dare operate like that. Otherwise, when he left the Void, he would have to face the wrath of two of the Seven Gates. But Elder Qing Ji’s other words were worth pondering... How should the profits in the Void be distributed?
If they thought it was only right for Feng Jun to bring them, then there might not be a next time.
Feng Jun never brought it up, but Elder Qing Ji thought she had to say something.
"We must indeed discuss some arrangements," Elder Cang Jing, who understood the situation, knew she was able to come because of Yi Jue’s influence, but to think that this would exempt her from paying would be too tactless.
Yi Jue couldn’t say much about that. She had a good relationship with Feng Jun, and any gains could be discussed, but as for the other two, she couldn’t plead on their behalf.
"You’re being too formal," Feng Jun said with a smile, seemingly having thought of an answer long ago, "Let’s not talk about anything else. For this trip to the Void, whatever each of us finds belongs to them. You’ve all been kind to my White Pebble Beach, consider it my token of appreciation."
Without waiting for their reactions, he pulled out his Mobile Phone, "I’ll first take Master Moli for healing. His health isn’t great, not fit to accompany us to find the Big Stone. You wait for me a moment, I’ll be back soon."
Whether Yi Jue liked it or not, Master Moli needed to recover on that previous stone. Although he had a Golden Core, invulnerable by nature, it couldn’t withstand the Void’s erosion, so it’s best to stabilize him quickly.
Taking Master Moli to the Big Stone, Feng Jun didn’t say much, directly releasing Liu Yiyi.
Then, to Master Moli’s astonishment, Liu Yiyi skillfully set up a defensive formation and a Spirit Restoration Array.
Master Moli was stunned for a while, then stepped into the defensive formation, first handing a salute to Feng Jun, "Thank you for your help, Mountain Master Feng. I am deeply grateful, and Master Moli will repay the favor in the future."
His words were heartfelt because he had heard that Feng Jun intended to state that the external price for entering and exiting the Void once was a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones—the official rate was a hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones.
Even he, at the Golden Core Peak, and his teacher Jing Quan, would have to sell some treasures to gather such a large sum of Spirit Stones.
Feng Jun waved his hand, "No need for formalities, Daoist Moli, quickly take out the Thick Earth Cauldron and heal yourself."
