Actually, after Elder Guo discovered this secret cache, his first reaction was: dig out these spirit plants and make good use of them.
He planned to use some himself and store the rest, and if he really needed money, he could always sell one or two of them.
He never considered continuing to grow them; these were all natural treasures several hundred years old and were already accustomed to this environment. Transplanting them was too difficult—if it failed, the loss would be huge.
Not to mention, this place had spiritual energy. Elder Guo couldn’t just borrow such a piece of spirit field to plant spirit plants.
It wasn’t until he discovered Huajun that he considered another possibility: Could I get it to help me grow spirit plants?
Feng Jun’s words served as a wake-up call for him; even with the butterfly, you might not be able to properly grow spirit plants, let alone how to tame this butterfly, which was still a major issue.
However, Elder Guo wasn’t a fool. He glanced at Feng Jun, “Do you plan to plant the spirit plants you’re assigned to?”
“I’ll try planting one type,” Feng Jun replied casually, “These spirit plants aren’t well-tended; let’s see if they can be improved.”
Not well-tended spirit plants… Elder Guo couldn’t help gritting his teeth with irritation, can’t you stop showing off?
But he also saw that Feng Jun’s manor had a Spirit Gathering Array, and the spiritual energy within that formation was indeed much stronger than this place.
He is entitled to his pride, after all! Elder Guo experienced once again the regret of “not being born in Rome.”
But he still had to ask, “The Spirit Gathering Array alone might not be enough, right?”
Stop beating around the bush, I know you’re quite envious of Huajun!
Feng Jun nodded slightly, “Indeed, just the Spirit Gathering Array isn’t enough… um, I was already planning to construct a Lingzhi Formation.”
Dammit! Elder Guo’s face darkened; can’t we have a normal conversation?
He went all out, “May I ask if Huajun is of use to you?”
“I really can’t be sure,” Feng Jun shook his head, speaking earnestly, “It’s worth a try, but if the experiment fails, we can just kill it and eat it.”
Elder Guo was not very satisfied with this answer. “I could do that too if there’s a need to kill it for meat.”
Feng Jun took out a cigarette and lit it, taking a casual puff, “Without a Lingzhi Formation, there’s no need even to experiment.”
Elder Guo was getting annoyed. Don’t keep flaunting your superiority, okay?
But the next moment, he saw Feng Jun casually reach out and flick his hand, sending a white light towards the ground.
A soft “snap” sound followed, and a wet spot appeared on the wings of the butterfly.
It turned out that as it spat saliva at Feng Jun, he easily caught it and flicked it back.
The saliva capable of corroding steel was actually caught barehanded by Feng Jun!
Elder Guo had long recognized Feng Jun’s capabilities, even the Levitation Object Collection, so he was not particularly surprised by this action—this was a true master, controlling the elements with ease, able to block the highly corrosive saliva.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but inwardly commend him—truly a master of the highest caliber and courage.
The butterfly got its own saliva on one wing, but its wings seemed to be coated with oil, and with a casual flap, it shook off the droplets, then glared at the cigarette in Feng Jun’s hands and hissed.
Turns out, it disliked his smoking.
Elder Guo had originally wanted to discuss the butterfly’s ownership, but seeing Feng Jun’s action, he lost interest for a moment, “In that case, I’ll sell the butterfly to you. Name your price?”
“Dad,” Guo Haiyun, who was squatting on the ground digging ginseng, looked up and voiced his discontent, “Even if it can’t plant spirit plants, it can serve as a guardian beast for the mountain gate, a great promotional feature at the entrance.”
“What’s the use of a mountain gate now?” Elder Guo, not in the best mood, bluntly laid out the truth, “Weiyu Mountain is about to become a residential area, and with the other Daoist sects developing here, without sacred texts or spirit stones, how can we maintain a mountain gate?”
“Dad!” Guo Haiyun was shocked. How could you… how could you put it so bluntly?
Elder Guo might have vented in self-deprecation, but in reality, he was well aware of how Weiyu Cave Heaven would develop in the future, and it was impossible to keep it a secret from Luohua Manor.
Since it couldn’t be kept hidden forever, revealing it sooner or later made no difference.
“Elder Guo is indeed straightforward,” Wang Haifeng also got up and said, smiling, “So, is my Luohua Manor not helping to preserve the line of Weiyu now?”
“That’s not good, is it?” Upon hearing this, Sister Hong also put down her camera, letting it hang on her chest.
Her eyes gleamed, “If you personally excavated the Daoist sect’s secret treasure, the commission we’ve charged… would need to be recalculated.”
Elder Guo scowled, remaining silent. A moment of unfiltered honesty led to such a situation.
“Alright, no more joking around,” Feng Jun cleared his throat lightly, “The secret treasure did take Elder Guo by surprise, the key issue being the absence of the Weiyu Daoism Lineage texts, and with the Cave Heaven not in Elder Guo’s hands, it’s not appropriate to continue the Weiyu Lineage. The rationale isn’t solid, and the spirit isn’t strong.”
Wang Haifeng was actually just challenging Guo Haiyun for the heck of it. He was indeed envious of the Natural Treasures, but as mentioned before, he lacked nothing since childhood and didn’t particularly care about external possessions.
He was generous with money—as long as there was a reason to spend it, taking a piece of jade worth a million from Feng Jun included, he accepted it directly and even gave the Essence Blood Protection Talisman he obtained from a master to his father as he said he would.
So this time, he didn’t argue anymore, “I was just making a joke. But Haiyun, your family has acquired the secret treasure of Weiyu, which comes with great karma. Surely you will have to set up a separate residence or something. Otherwise, it really wouldn’t be fitting.”
Rarely do you speak seriously, Guo Haiyun gave him a look and nodded, “That’s for certain. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the face to see you guys again.”
Sister Hong heard this and was not pleased, “Master Feng, all of these are Natural Treasures.”
“Alright Sister Hong,” Wang Haifeng actually counseled her, “What don’t we have in Luohua Manor? Is it worth it for these little things?”
He spoke with a magnanimous air, but Sister Hong was so angry her eyes bulged, “Are you saying the work I do isn’t worth anything?”
“It’s worth it, definitely worth it,” Wang Haifeng immediately raised both his hands, grinning playfully, “Absolutely worth it. Sister, please forgive me this once.”
Sister Hong huffed angrily.
The Guo father and son exchanged a glance, and Elder Guo spoke up, “Master, I was a bit out of line, too. Mainly because we only obtained the Natural Treasures and not the related Daoism scriptures. But rest assured, my son and I will definitely take on the karma of Weiyu.”
With that, his attitude was quite proper. After he finished speaking, Guo Haiyun even added, “But I think, we may have to follow the path of martial cultivators. Discussing the Dao won’t be easy. For this, I ask for Master Feng’s understanding.”
Feng Jun smiled indifferently, “How you choose is your own business. Just don’t let your karma ruin mine.”
This statement seemed unbothered, but for those of the Daoist Sects, who valued karma, it wasn’t taken lightly.
If you don’t care yourself but ruin someone else’s path of cultivation—that cuts off someone’s future prospects, it can be said as a feud that won’t stop until death.
But Feng Jun truly hadn’t made any demands. The Dao follows nature; deliberately pursuing something is considered inferior.
Busy the whole night—their work was roughly taking inventory of the plants. Excavating Spirit Plants amounted to just two ginseng roots.
Don’t underestimate taking inventory of the plants—it’s a massive task.
Discussing a plant for half a minute, an hour would not cover more than a hundred plants. And half a minute per plant was the shortest time. Keep in mind that each plant here was worth at least several hundred thousands of dollars when taken out.
In this area, there were nearly a thousand plants.
At first, everyone discussed each plant seriously. Although they couldn’t dig them out, estimating their age and price was necessary—even a rough estimate is better than none.
But later on, no one had much energy left. Even Guo Haiyun couldn’t help but say, “Honestly, I never thought there would be a time in my life when appraising Natural Treasures would make me feel sick.”
Seeing this, Feng Jun couldn’t help but say, “Actually, we could divide the Spirit Fields into sections—one for your family, one for mine. Allocate the shares proportionally, and let luck decide.”
With his suggestion out there, neither Sister Hong nor Wang Haifeng would object, and even Guo Haiyun thought it was a good idea—cultivators often talk about fate.
But Elder Guo wouldn’t agree, insisting on surveying the area completely—perhaps he had some respect for Feng Jun’s abilities.
Guo Haiyun also brought a camera, not a mobile phone camera, but a real one, taking photos of the Spirit Fields from start to finish.
Having roughly identified the Spirit Fields, it was almost six o’clock, and everyone decided to leave—it would be dawn if they didn’t go soon.
The two ginseng roots were as thick as a sea bowl and over half human height. With the roots included, they measured almost three and a half meters long and nearly two meters thick—and that’s with many tiny roots broken off.
Feng Jun raised his hand, collecting the ginseng Wang Haifeng dug up—Coach Wang’s Storage Talisman had a limited number of uses.
Guo Haiyun thought about it and dragged his own ginseng over, “Master Feng, could you help hold it for a moment?”
Feng Jun wouldn’t refuse such a small favor, raising his hand to collect his ginseng as well.
However, there were some favors he would not extend. As the group of five left the Spirit Fields, the butterfly had already recovered quite a bit. Seeing them at the entrance, it sped up like lightning, landing steadily on Feng Jun’s shoulder.
A creature in the Qi Refinement Realm generally has some intelligence and knows who the strongest among the group of people is.

Actually, it really did choose wisely. If it had dared to fly to someone else, Feng Jun wouldn’t mind hitting it with the Falling Thunder Technique again.
Seeing the butterfly land on his shoulder, Feng Jun reached out, grabbed its wings, and threw it back into the Spirit Fields, “Stay put in there!”
The group felt a jolt and found themselves back on the hillside. The sky was still pitch black, but located in the eastern part of Huaxia, the darkness should represent the last moments before dawn.
Before anyone could get used to the change between light and darkness, Sister Hong already spoke up, mysteriously asking, “Master Feng, why didn’t you take the butterfly with us? It’s been living alone for several hundred years.”
Alone… That’s a butterfly, right? Feng Jun twisted his mouth but said nothing.
