Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1234: The Benefits of Caution (3rd Update)
Chapter 1234: Chapter 1234: The Benefits of Caution (3rd Update)
As it turns out, there is indeed a huge gap between major sect disciples and loose cultivators. Kong Ziyi was unconscious on the ground for less than ten minutes before she opened her eyes. After a brief period of confusion, she sat up and asked, "How did it go?"
"The result..." Feng Jun hesitated for a moment but still smiled wryly, "The result is alright, but it didn’t remove the root cause."
"Didn’t remove the root cause, huh," Kong Ziyi was a bit disappointed upon hearing this, but she quickly reconsidered. It was impossible to completely remove the root cause, so she asked a strange question, "This time... did we go to a piece of Spirit Land?"
Upon hearing Kong Ziyi’s question, Feng Jun couldn’t help but sigh quietly: Truly worth all my efforts.
Why did he build a Spirit Gathering Array on the cliff? It was precisely to avoid such potential accidents.
The last time he took Kong Ziyi to Luohua Manor, an accident occurred—she didn’t faint at all!
He couldn’t possibly ask her, "What did you see?" He had to worry about her asking him, "Where did you take me?"
Even though Luohua Manor had two Spirit Gathering Arrays, he took her to a place without one.
This time, he intended to take her to a place where spiritual energy was relatively abundant.
Moreover, the sea view and cliff, along with the slightly salty sea breeze, were completely different from Luohua.
Feng Jun had long planned to take Kong Ziyi here, even if it meant setting up the Spirit Gathering Array in advance.
After all, many negotiations would occur in this place; as long as he controlled the rhythm between the two dimensions, bringing her here wouldn’t hinder his affairs on both sides.
Of course, his initial goal was still to make Kong Ziyi faint; however, she was indeed different from loose cultivators.
Both Yang Shangren and Dong Liuye expend energy points when crossing dimensions, which are about the same. However, Kong Ziyi, even without mentioning her background, just the curse on her makes a huge difference.
Simply put, Feng Jun couldn’t guarantee that Kong Ziyi would faint on the second crossing, so he made this arrangement.
Of course, he could increase the energy points to ensure Kong Ziyi would faint, but... what if he added too much?
Master Sumiao and Master Busheng were good to him, but they were definitely not easy to deal with.
To put it simply, placing the location on the cliff was actually a precautionary measure, which even caused inconvenience for the three women when using the bathroom, but unexpectedly, it really worked.
It’s worth noting that Kong Ziyi was not easy to deal with either; even when he increased the energy points, she only barely fell into a coma.
Not only did she wake up quickly, but she was also aware of her surroundings while unconscious; it was truly terrifying.
Even more frightening was the fact that shortly after she fell into a coma, her life force rapidly increased.
Feng Jun had to admit that there was indeed a big difference between loose cultivators and sect disciples.
Though he felt a surge of emotions within, he wouldn’t admit it, so he simply smiled slightly, "It’s not quite Spirit Land; there’s just a little more spiritual energy."
"I feel the spiritual energy is very dense," Kong Ziyi said earnestly, "the first time, it was practically an end-law dimension. This time, I felt surrounded by spiritual energy, as if in a Spirit Gathering Array."
Feng Jun rolled his eyes; you were indeed in a Spirit Gathering Array this time.
Then Kong Ziyi looked at Feng Jun, "How many more times until the root is removed?"
"Auntie, spare me," Feng Jun clasped his hands and straightforwardly replied, "This matter ends here; don’t ask me for the next treatment."
Kong Ziyi blinked, glanced at him, felt like saying something, but ultimately closed her eyes to recover her energy.
Feng Jun activated the defensive formation and returned once more to the Earth Realm.
"Alright," he stood up and called to the three women, "Pack up your things; we’re heading back to the manor."
The four returned to the manor quietly at eleven that night and landed in front of the Jade building. Zhang Caixin breathed a sigh of relief, "Feels so good to be home; I’m off to the bathroom first..."
The four had returned silently, and only Gu Jiahui, cultivating in the pavilion, noticed them and greeted them.
Early the next morning, Zhang Caixin took over the storage bag handed to her by Feng Jun and started organizing various books.
However, she quickly regretted it, "So much... and so much of it is written in seal script; I can’t handle it alone. I need to cultivate too; no way, I have to find a helper."
Feng Jun encouragingly smiled at her, "Once you sort it all out, you’ll become the keeper of the Scripture Pavilion. In those prestigious sects, the keepers of the Scripture Pavilion are very powerful, like the Sweeping Monk or something..."
Zhang Caixin playfully rolled her eyes at him, "I don’t want to be the Sweeping Monk; I want to be Li Mochou and kill all the heartless men in the world!"
Though she said this, she honestly found a computer and began working.
Don’t underestimate her. When Xiao Caixin works, she is well-organized. Besides cultivation, she sets aside three hours every day to organize classic texts. In her words, "In any case, no one else will use these things in the short term."
She often finds her thoughts immersed in those texts while organizing, especially the travelogues and compilations of Natural Treasures—this is the part she sorts out first, saying: One must first understand that dimension.
All aspects of work at the manor proceed orderly. Everyone’s cultivation progress is slowly advancing. Since the cultivation levels have improved somewhat, it’s no longer like before, where breakthroughs happened as frequently as dumplings being served.
After twenty days, Gu Jiahui was the one to break the dry spell of breakthroughs; she advanced to the seventh level of Transcendence, becoming the first after Zhang Caixin.
To put it simply, having good aptitude makes all the difference; it’s something others can’t envy.
This time, she didn’t celebrate grandly, just treated everyone to a meal, and then went to Beijing with her mother. After all, having entered university, occasional visits are necessary.
In fact, she merely wanted to relax a bit. After all, she’s still a young girl. If she only cultivates every day without engaging with society, she might truly become a "cultivator"—actually, Feng Jun doesn’t support her being so reclusive.
Feng Jun stayed in the Earth Realm for twenty days without going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival and was getting a bit fed up.
In the Earth Realm, besides pondering ways to enhance the Earth Vein, he could only practice some minor techniques and talismans. Once the spiritual energy depleted significantly, not even a Spirit Gathering Array could suffice to replenish it.
He decided that next time in the Mobile Phone dimension, he must get a few High-Rank Spirit Gathering Arrays.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate in the Earth Realm—even though he has a room in a small courtyard, it’s still somewhat ostentatious.
After reviewing Zhang Caixin’s progress, he thought for a bit and went to find Old Master Yu.
Why was he visiting the old master? Just to ask... Do you still need crude oil recently?
If there’s no need for crude oil, he really plans to postpone it for a while. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Old Master Yu initially wanted to mock him with a few words, but seeing his impatience, he arranged for the secretary to make a call.
Before long, Yu Zhiyuan called, asking what was going on because he was also holding off on the other party, unsure whether they needed crude oil or not.
After understanding Feng Jun’s intention, he proactively called over there, saying do you still need crude oil recently? If not, we have other priorities.
Over there, they were actually competing with him on who could hold out longer. After hearing this, they half-jokingly and half-seriously replied: I thought you, President Yu, truly didn’t care about the crude oil business.
Without a word, Yu Zhiyuan hung up the mobile phone and then notified Feng Jun: Go about your business. Whenever you need crude oil, I’ll contact you and guarantee not to rush you to supply it.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun relaxed. He planned to attend the Mount Danxia Dharma Assembly in a couple of days and then focus on the Mobile Phone dimension. There, if there’s truly a lot to do, he might not even consider seasonal synchronization.
The Danxia Heaven Dharma Assembly was grand because, in the past two years, Guan Shanyue was conducting secret realm trials, which many Daoist sects highly esteemed.
The attendees from Luohua were Feng Jun, Sister Hong, Gazi, and Chen Shengwang. He’s Luohua’s Guest Elder but also Fanghu’s sole heir.
By now, Luohua Manor has become the most dazzling star within the Daoist sects. Although some privately criticize their lack of heritage, there’s no doubt that a force capable of making Kunlun yield truly deserves the title "a hero of the times."
Many people want to meet Feng Jun. At first, Feng Jun thought he shouldn’t put on airs, but the majority, upon meeting him, start with a slew of flattery, and some even wish to discuss the Dao with him.
However, after a short conversation, inevitably, it leads to a trend—complaining about poverty and begging for alms.
Some beg for money, some for techniques, and others claim, "My sect has a secret technique, and cultivating it promises a Golden Core. Unfortunately, we lack a Spirit Gathering Array..."
Feng Jun got a bit annoyed and informed Guan Shanyue—if there are any more Daoist friends wanting to meet me, you don’t need to introduce them.
Master Guan was a bit curious and asked why. After hearing the reason, he first laughed uproariously, then shortly sighed, "The days for Daoist sects in the past were truly difficult... My Danxia Heaven is a living example."
Magu Mountain had really declined for a long time, lacking the grandeur a Cave Heaven of the Thirty-Six Heavens should have, even ranking low as a scenic spot. If you talk about attracting pilgrims, not many even from the local province visit, mainly from nearby areas.
In the first secret realm trial back then, as the host, Danxia Heaven couldn’t even present a barely qualified disciple.
It’s Master Guan Shanyue who exerted effort and took the opportunity to invite Feng Jun. Though she neither practiced martial arts nor cultivation, she forcibly revitalized the once-declining Danxia Heaven.
She somewhat sympathized with those seeking alms.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun merely smiled indifferently, "The decline of the Daoist sects, I don’t deny it. Even Heavenly Master Tang sold talismans to deceive others for survival... But now with hope for a Daoist renaissance, instead of seizing this opportunity, they use these worldly tactics on me, treating me like a fool. Isn’t that underestimating my intelligence?"
He doesn’t mind contributing to the Daoist revival but doesn’t want to be mocked behind his back.
Meanwhile, three cars arrived at the entrance of Luohua Manor, with seven or eight people stepping out, "Is this the place?"
(It’s the third update of the night, loudly calling for monthly votes.)
