Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1233: Is it the Artifact Spirit? (2nd Update)
Chapter 1233: Chapter 1233: Is it the Artifact Spirit? (2nd Update)
A female disciple of the Taiqing Sect from the Qi Refinement Realm chased up from behind, "Uncle Zi Yi, where are you going?"
Last time, Kong Ziyi disappeared for a day and night, which put her under great pressure.
"You go back first, it’s not a problem," Kong Ziyi replied with a smile, "Maybe the Peak Master is nearby, what are you worrying about?"
The two of them followed their routine and went to the woods, where Feng Jun took out a large pair of night-vision goggles and scanned around.
He knew Master Sumiao shouldn’t be far away, but his thought was—if you’re dozens of miles away, then forget it; if you’re too close, then it’s inconvenient for me to help your granddaughter with the treatment.
He carefully examined the surroundings and found that there was indeed no one around, so he took out the Spirit Binding Array, "Daoist Zi Yi, the old rule, remove the storage bag and all defense items."
Kong Ziyi, having gone through "treatment" once, was also quite familiar with the process and quickly removed the items from her body.
Meanwhile, Master Sumiao, who was a hundred miles away, quietly moved to just over thirty miles away. She told herself: I’m not trying to spy on their privacy, but this time I forgot to mark Zi Yi.
Actually, she marked Zi Yi last time because she was a bit uneasy. After one experience, she could trust Feng Jun, but people always have to find excuses for themselves, right?
Then she noticed the Spirit Binding Array. Although she had heard from her granddaughter about the last time, she didn’t understand the principle. "It is indeed a Qi Refinement Realm Spirit Binding Array... can it actually affect Zi Yi?"
The next moment, Feng Jun brought Kong Ziyi to Earth. He turned his head to glance at her and breathed a sigh of relief, "She’s indeed passed out."
Last time, he calculated eighteen percent, and this time it’s nineteen percent. It’s the level that Yang Shangren couldn’t wake up from. It’s not that he’s ruthless; it’s because Kong Ziyi still has a curse, which will consume some energy points right?
Even in the most extreme situation, if Kong Ziyi becomes like Yang Shangren, she still has the Tianqing Immortal Liquid, doesn’t she?
An arrival occurred over his side, and the three ladies outside the tent immediately noticed. Sister Hong and Feng Jing almost didn’t notice, but Zhang Caixin, being at the Qi Refinement Realm, couldn’t possibly miss such a big commotion.
Darkness had fallen, and the three women lit a small LED light on the cliff. Because it was a shaded light, it wasn’t too conspicuous, but it worked fine for close-range illumination.
The three exchanged a glance, Zhang Caixin was about to speak, but Feng Jing raised a finger, "Shh," then quietly got up, tiptoe-ing towards the tent, followed by the Zhang family sisters.
Feng Jun checked Kong Ziyi’s life value and found that it was still quite high, reaching twenty-four percent, meaning she could wake up at any moment.
Because he examined the life value, when he raised his hand to put her into the Spirit Beast Bag, the three ladies just happened to arrive at the tent entrance.
Zhang Caixin had keen eyesight, "Oh, it’s actually a woman?"
Feng Jing was the first to arrive and saw more clearly. Knowing the person entered the Spirit Beast Bag and couldn’t hear her words, she couldn’t help but say, "Could it be another Intermediate Level outcast?"
"Indeed it is," Feng Jun responded with a smile, "Kong Ziyi, didn’t you see clearly?"
Everyone was learning the Haozhou dialect, so he didn’t mind letting Zhang Caixin know some news from the other side.
"Is it Kong Ziyi?" Even Sister Hong couldn’t help but ask, as she had seen Kong Ziyi. "Do you dare to touch her after the Golden Core?"
Zhang Caixin was a bit confused—descendant of a Golden Core Great Cultivator, put into the Spirit Beast Bag by Elder Feng?
Feng Jun thought for a moment and responded, "I use Intermediate Level outcasts for so many tests mainly to treat Kong Ziyi’s curse."
These words left even Feng Jing a bit dumbfounded, "Curse... uh, you can treat it?"
Previously, Feng Jun had not mentioned it to her. Kong Ziyi had a hidden illness that he dared not speak of on the Earth Realm, and it slipped his mind on the Mobile Phone Plane because Master Sumiao lived nearby.
So she truly didn’t know Kong Ziyi bore a curse, let alone imagined Feng Jun actually... capable of treating it.
Zhang Caixin was also taken aback, "Curse... is this thing really real?"
Feng Jun frustratedly slapped his forehead, "Looks like I need to strengthen your training on related knowledge. Maybe set up a Scripture Pavilion behind the building... but I don’t have time to do it, Caixin, you take charge of establishing a search system."
He had plenty of cultivation techniques and related knowledge, enough to fill a twenty square meter room, but ninety-nine percent of these came from the Mobile Phone Plane and absolutely couldn’t be spread out, so for now they were kept in a storage bag.
But now he had to make sure the disciples mastered related knowledge. Fortunately, Zhang Caixin had already entered the Qi Refinement Realm, and the other disciples had reached Martial Master Level, so guarding such a "Scripture Pavilion" shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
Zhang Caixin originally felt quite upset. She thought Teacher Mei and her sister knew a lot about situations like Kong Ziyi’s, but she was entirely uninformed—what kind of woman was that?
Now hearing Feng Jun’s command, she couldn’t help but laugh—really couldn’t help it, but in the dim light, her smile was hidden in the shadows, only her disgruntled complaint could be heard, "Elder, I need to cultivate too."
"Come on, don’t give me that," said the Dustfree Elder, whose eyesight was beyond that of ordinary people. He waved his hand, "You must be captured. You’ve enjoyed so many resources from Luohua, and it’s time for you to contribute."
Because of Sister Hong and Good Scenery being present, he didn’t flirt with Xiao Caixin, just gestured outside, "Director Mei, come in."
Teacher Mei walked in, bent down without waiting for him to say anything, and picked up the Spirit Beast Bag from the ground.
Feng Jun swiped his mobile phone, and Teacher Mei naturally linked her arm with his.
After entering the mobile phone plane, Teacher Mei placed the Spirit Beast Bag on the ground and disappeared again.
Thirty miles away, Master Sumiao was startled — what kind of operation is this?
Her granddaughter and the Spirit Binding Array disappeared in an instant, and then a woman appeared, who then swiftly vanished.
Master Sumiao had met Mei Jin and was neighbors with her for a while, so she was quite familiar with her aura, but this time, Teacher Mei’s appearance was too sudden. Moreover, it was a teleportation. From appearance to disappearance, it took less than half a second.
Therefore, the Master of Zixia Peak couldn’t recognize who this was; she didn’t have time to sense the other person’s aura — even for a Golden Core Master, thirty miles was quite some distance.
Master Sumiao couldn’t help but frown, "Is this... an Artifact Spirit? But can an Array Plate at the Qi Refinement Realm, like a Spirit Binding Array, even have an Artifact Spirit?"
She felt her worldview was greatly challenged.
Then she saw Feng Jun bend down to pick up a Spirit Beast Bag, and immediately, a plausible guess popped into her mind, leaving her slightly upset: Did this Array Spirit put my granddaughter into the Spirit Beast Bag?
A similar situation had occurred over ten days ago, but back then, she didn’t want to provoke Feng Jun and was also over a hundred miles away, so she merely sensed the mark silently without paying attention to her granddaughter’s disappearance and reappearance process.
This time, she finally noticed but didn’t rush forward. In the society of the mobile phone plane, children are not raised as greenhouse flowers, especially for cultivators.
When Kong Ziyi first "received treatment," Master Sumiao placed a mark on her, which was the natural concern of an elder, and that was not wrong.
After confirming Feng Jun’s treatment was effective and the risks were controllable, Master Sumiao decided not to interfere excessively with her treatment. As a cultivator over two hundred years old, she understood too well the consequences of overprotecting children.
Cultivation is inherently a very cruel matter. If children don’t suffer a bit and learn to adapt, how will they grow in the future?
Yes, the child has parents at the Golden Core Stage, but can parents protect you for a lifetime? Not to mention Golden Cores can fall; even if one becomes a Nascent Soul, traveling across various planes, there might not be time to protect you.
Master Sumiao actually wanted to know Feng Jun’s secret, but in the end, she just quietly advanced seventy miles.
After Feng Jun returned from the Earth Realm, he scanned the surroundings again with a night vision scope.
This time, he didn’t plan to spend much time investigating, but even so, he still detected Master Sumiao — actually, it was her bad luck. With a thirty-mile distance and tree cover, under normal circumstances, she shouldn’t have been discovered.
There were also many animals on White Pebble Beach. Feng Jun detected Master Sumiao and purposely zoomed in to take a closer look, finally determining it was the figure of half a person.
Who could it be? There’s no need to say; just moments ago, when he placed the Spirit Binding Array Plate, there was no such shadow here.
In less than half a minute, a figure quietly appeared here. Who could it be?
He helplessly shook his head, then looked away from the scope and stood up, spreading his arms in that direction without saying a word.
She’s been discovered! Master Sumiao felt her old face heat up. Even though it was nighttime, and the other was in the woods, with her full sense, she could still perceive Feng Jun’s expression.
Immediately afterward, she quickly retreated — a Golden Core is sometimes allowed to be overbearing, but the Master of Zixia Peak has her pride.
Feng Jun didn’t see her retreating. His eyesight wasn’t that good, but after a smile, he bent down again to look through the night vision scope and continued to check elsewhere.
After finishing his check, he swept the night vision scope back, only to find that no one was there anymore.
Master Sumiao looked at that big tube, feeling a bit curious: What is this, a strengthened version of a night vision telescope?
Feng Jun was unsure whether Master Sumiao had left, however, being able to force a Master to make a hasty exit was also a kind of victory for him — if you choose a different way to hide, I would accept it too, as caring for juniors is indeed no fault.
Then he took out his traveling courtyard, tossed it onto the open space, then grabbed the Spirit Beast Bag, entered the courtyard, activated the Spirit Gathering Array, and released Kong Ziyi.
Through analysis, he learned that Kong Ziyi’s Chaos Yin-Yang Curse was not completely eliminated, but it was no longer in a "weak" state; instead, it was a "Chaos Yin-Yang Curse (Potential Hazard)."
This potential hazard he couldn’t deal with. He couldn’t possibly bring Kong Ziyi back to the Earth Plane for the third time, could he?
