Chapter 2220: Chapter 2222: Everything Can Be Stir-Fried

The mobile phones and laptops that arrived at White Pebble Beach this time were not sold out; instead, some were given away to acquaintances from the Three Major Sects, Wutai, Tiantong, and Pine Cypress Peak. However, soon after, people started asking how these items were being sold.

It’s no wonder that games can be addictive; the allure of these things is indeed powerful, even cultivators can’t resist the temptation.

In truth, the ability of mobile phones to play games and make calls is just a small matter. Those who received gifts suddenly realized—the tool Mountain Master Feng uses for deductions seems to be this kind of mortal thing?

Feng Jun’s reputation for deduction is really impressive. In the Kunhao Realm, his ability to deduce is even more famous than his Void and Teleportation abilities. Upon seeing such deduction tools circulate, who can resist feeling tempted?

Feng Jun stated, "This thing is merely a mortal object. I can deduce, naturally I have other core competencies, and the mobile phone is just a medium. Don’t take it seriously."

Yet the more he said this, the more others wanted to try it, and some even offered extremely high prices: ten mid-level spirit stones for a mobile phone—this price is not meant to insult you, as you said, it’s just a mortal object, and we dare not violate your wishes?

Feng Jun certainly wouldn’t sell at this price, even if it’s a monopoly transaction—making money must have a limit, right?

Originally, he wasn’t someone who demands excessively, and he understood the importance of knowing when to stop. Furthermore, mobile phones would eventually become widespread in the Kunhao Realm. How would he explain it to others if he sold them at high prices now?

It’s important to note that this is a society that values morality greatly, and once reputation is damaged, it can have a huge impact on a person. Feng Jun’s image is "a gentleman who loves wealth acquired appropriately."

Once a persona collapses, especially to the extent of "greedy and insatiable," it results in irreversible social death.

Feng Jun wouldn’t make such a mistake, so he stated, "If you insist on buying, then one fragment spirit stone will do."

One fragment spirit stone... He dared to quote this price, but the other party wasn’t willing to lose face, so after negotiating, they eventually left a spirit stone, "Mountain Master Feng, I really don’t have change... do I look like someone who carries fragment spirit stones?"

As this news spread, many people came to buy mobile phones and laptops, and some even threw out ten thousand spirit stones at once, "Give me ten thousand!"

Now at White Pebble Beach, there really is no shortage of wealthy people. Paying ten thousand spirit stones for ten thousand mortal items... difficult to understand?

Feng Jun casually pushed the Storage Talisman aside, speaking irritably, "Yan Yuxi, everyone can buy only one, don’t make a fuss!"

Yan Yuxi wasn’t making a fuss; she turned and walked out to announce, "Everyone can buy only one... even with my relationship with Elder Feng, I can’t buy a second one, so don’t have false hopes. Remember, don’t buy repeatedly, don’t blame me for not warning you!"

Not far away, a Golden Core Eighth Layer female cultivator looked at her, with a dignified appearance and noble temperament, smiling slightly, "Is this Pine Cypress Peak’s foremost beauty? She looks quite ordinary, what’s her relationship with Mountain Master Feng?"

"She formed her core at Mountain Master Feng’s manor," someone nearby whispered, "Besides disciples from the Four Sects and Wutai, only she and Mei Yeyu formed their core at Mountain Master Feng’s other yard."

The Golden Core Eighth Layer female cultivator pondered before speaking, "Then everyone buys one mobile phone. Arrange things accordingly; send fewer people for now, and see how it goes. If there are no other restrictions, family members should each buy one, and they can claim reimbursement."

Clearly, she was trying to exploit loopholes in Feng Jun’s rules, but she was not the only one who wanted to get on this bandwagon. Master Qiyu had already arranged for people to take turns buying phones from Yu Qingzhu.

Yu Qingzhu was relatively familiar with Master Qiyu because she almost got abducted by cauldron peddlers, which made Feng Jun furious enough to directly eradicate a cauldron peddler more powerful than Qiyu.

Stunned by these events, Qiyu decisively withdrew, scattered the cauldrons in his possession, and went to White Pebble Beach to beg Feng Jun’s forgiveness. He even bought land near White Pebble Beach with the intention to reform earnestly.

Interestingly, his land purchase resulted in considerable benefits for him.

Wanting to reform, he couldn’t do things quietly, so he actively engaged with members of Luohua, spending time conversing with them.

However, regrettably, Luohua members mostly showed little interest in him—people from the Earth Realm were not willing to interact with cauldron peddlers.

Several of Feng Jun’s local subordinates were also harassed by him, but Yun Buyao, who had personal experiences with cauldron peddlers, particularly detested them and showed Qiyu no kindness.

Given this situation, Mi Yunsan, who followed Yun Buyao, naturally gave Qiyu no sympathy either.

However, persistence paid off, and after several interactions, Qiyu finally managed to establish a connection—with Yu Qingzhu.

Yu Qingzhu was the trigger for Feng Jun’s crackdown on cauldron peddlers. She attracted their attention due to her desire to buy lifespan extension items... Even if Qiyu lacked understanding, he knew to cater to her interests.

Lifespan-extending items are incredibly scarce everywhere; however, Qiyu initially dealt in deceptive trades targeting mortals for lifespan items, and he did have some on hand. So, he allocated a few to give to Yu Qingzhu.

Yu Qingzhu knew very well that Qiyu wasn’t a good person, but she was truly unable to refuse the lifespan-extending items—for the Yu Family was incredibly large.

Her initial thought was to quickly procure some lifespan extension treasures for her grandfather, as he was nearing his end—as the cherished granddaughter, it was quite normal for her to have such intentions.

But after she brought back an Evergreen Fruit, everything changed—the Yu Family was widespread, and Old Master Yu was the pillar of the family. Everyone knew the state of his aging body.

Things that Beauty Lin couldn’t see, the Yu family members could definitely perceive.

Later, Yu Qingzhu gave the Old Master a Lifespan Extension Pill. When Feng Jun was still battling in the Void, Old Master Yu was already able to shed his cane and practice Tai Chi alone.

The Yu family knew that Feng Jun had finally accepted Yu Qingzhu as a disciple, so these anomalies were treated as normal. Few people asked questions—it was taboo, but everyone wanted to know how the Old Master regained his vitality.

Yu Qingzhu felt immense pressure. The Wang Family of Wang Haifeng, the Xu Family of Xu Leigang, numbering at best a hundred or so people, leaving out those who were incompetent, were even fewer. But the Yu Family... counting extended relatives and acquaintances could easily reach four figures.

Great clans are truly formidable. The Dou Family, where Dou Jiahui belongs, is already quite famous in Chaoyang, yet it barely numbers over two hundred people, and many connections have already become distant.

But the Yu Family is different, having permeated various industries. Whenever there’s an issue, they can always lend a hand.

The saying goes, relatives become closer by frequent visits; if not, a distant relative is not as valuable as a nearby neighbor.

The Yu family’s foundation naturally supports this model, especially with a central pillar in the family; when he speaks, no one dares to ignore. In such circumstances, cohesion can increase tenfold.

Therefore, some relatives not closely tied by blood still often visit—even if they don’t rely on the Old Master, having him around ensures others must agree, and no one dares to anger the Old Master.

Thus, the majority of Yu Qingzhu’s contacts are family relatives, which is rather rare in modern society.

Because of this, her resistance to lifespan-extending treasures is extraordinarily low; there are too many in the family who need them.

For this reason, she specially consulted Feng Jun, asking if she could accept these treasures.

Feng Jun could roughly guess her situation and did not stop her—after all, it’s a lifespan-extending treasure, how could he forcibly prevent her?

He merely remarked that whether to accept or not was her choice. Having gained this goodwill, she must keep it in mind and avoid missteps in the future.

Yu Qingzhu was indeed prudent, choosing to directly buy those lifespan-extending treasures with Spirit Stones. Initially, Qi Yu did not want to sell, so Yu Qingzhu had to invite Qu Jianlei to help with communication.

No matter how it went, after the transaction was successful, Yu Qingzhu maintained a relatively friendly relationship with Qi Yu, which was quite rare.

Upon receiving Qi Yu’s request, she approached Elder Feng for advice on whether she could sell a batch of mobile phones and laptops to Qi Yu.

Feng Jun indicated that since she knew to ask him, for anything below ten thousand units... she could make her own decision.

After all, members of Luohua all hail from the Earth Realm, everyone has Storage Bags, making it easy to bring along some mobile phones and laptops, so he couldn’t prevent everyone from earning a little pocket money.

Too clear waters have no fish. The members of Luohua can achieve overall quantity control by consulting him, which suffices.

Yu Qingzhu knew how to act as well; she didn’t think of monopolizing this business but instead found others, saying, let’s work together on this order, how about splitting the profits evenly?

How about it... of course it was great. The cultivation resources of Luohua members always came from Feng Jun; everyone wanted to earn some extra money, including Wang Haifeng and Gazi—they both wished to secure more resources for their significant others, didn’t they?

Since Feng Jun temporarily had no plans to return, the group discussed the division of labor, planning to act promptly upon return. Meanwhile, Yu Qingzhu demonstrated high efficiency; she even found Qi Yu to pre-sell mobile phones and laptops.

Qi Yu arranged people to queue up, purchasing three thousand units, yet that very night, Gazi received news from Du Wentian that Qi Yu’s people were reselling phone pre-sale quotas.

Transactions between Qi Yu’s people and Yu Qingzhu were mainly all prepaid, one phone for one Spirit Stone, but his people sold quotas starting from ten Spirits per phone, possibly reaching twenty or thirty Spirits.

Gazi certainly couldn’t sit back while his own were being exploited, even though he was part of this deal, he still went to Feng Jun first.

Upon hearing the news, Feng Jun was a bit amused but called over Yu Qingzhu, "How do you plan to handle this situation?"

After pondering, Yu Qingzhu replied, "This atmosphere cannot be encouraged; we must apply the brakes. However, I suggest not pursuing those already pre-sold... After all, there was no prior statement banning it, we should maintain a reasonable image."

Gazi gave her an inquisitive look, "Why do I feel like you might have planned this?"
