Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1316 Two Peaks Join Forces (Third Update, Request for Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 1316: Chapter 1316 Two Peaks Join Forces (Third Update, Request for Monthly Ticket)
The reason why Tang Shixun became Taiqing’s most famous Hidden Fierce Wind Gold lies in two aspects: one, his cultivation level, and two, his Wuwei.
In short, when this guy discovered he had this nightmarish constitution, he didn’t hide it at all and announced it outright.
Then, he just Wuwei-ed, but the key is, he is still at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, just one step away from core formation.
The power of this example is really too terrible for Taiqing, so they have blocked all news about Tang Shixun externally.
Was the blockade successful? It’s hard to say, but inside Taiqing, Tang Shixun is thoroughly famous—sect-famous, not internet-famous.
Master Xiaosong of Kongxing Peak naturally heard of this figure, and in this storm of information, this person was the focus.
There really are very few outlandish ascended beings that can keep a real person’s mind occupied.
Master Xiaosong rushed to Wuwei Peak to find out what exactly happened—if Wuwei Peak really found a way to solve the Hidden Fierce Wind Gold, it would be great news for Kongxing Peak.
He always wanted to break free from his ancestors’ shadow through his own efforts, although it seems unlikely, he never gave up.
His impression of the Wuwei Peak Master was not too good, one was called Xiaosong, the other Xiaodong—just their names clashed.
Master Xiaodong of Wuwei Peak had nothing to hide, saying that they’ve been identifying the Hidden Feng Lei Jin Body recently—well, don’t get it wrong, it’s led by Tianyao Peak, we’re just cooperating.
Does this sort of thing reach Master Yuanming’s leadership? Master Xiaosong thought this sounded a bit ridiculous.
While the two were chatting, Tang Shixun’s report arrived, both read the communication paper crane together.
The two immortals exchanged glances, and after a long time, Master Xiaosong of Kongxing Peak spoke up, "A personalized cultivation technique? Brother, you are impressive, not only creating a Hidden Feng Lei Jin Body but also finding someone to deduce a cultivation technique."
The Wuwei Peak Master couldn’t be bothered with him—being Wuwei means, "Yeah, I’m just that impressive."
Then he instructed Tang Shixun, "The effects are good, so continue cultivating."
Master Xiaosong couldn’t help but ask, "Little Tang, where did your Peak Master find the person to help you deduce the cultivation technique?"
"Master Xiaosong?" Tang Shixun was a bit confused, but he knew how to answer this question, "It wasn’t someone I found, it was discovered by the Peak Master of Tianyao Peak, I just shared a bit of the light."
"Brother Yuanming has good luck," Master Xiaosong heard, realizing that Master Xiaodong wasn’t fooling him, "then I’ll go ask him."
Master Yuanming, seeing Kongxing Peak Master inquiring, explicitly stated that he arranged this affair and not to hide it intentionally from Kongxing Peak, but because he’s not too sure of the results, planning to experiment a bit, and inform once good results are obtained.
Master Xiaosong, having a good relationship with him, said since that’s the case, just bring this person back to the mountain, so we can understand him nearby, why make the disciples go back and forth, wasting loads of time on the road.
Master Yuanming helplessly indicated, though that person is a loose cultivator, he is with a female disciple of Zixia Peak, and her deduction skills were praised by Master Sumiao; otherwise, how could I dare to experiment casually?
Master Xiaosong became more bewildered: The Master of Zixia Peak knows him too? This small ascended loose cultivator is truly remarkable.
However, he still hoped to bring that Mountain Master back to the mountain to understand the related information nearby.
Master Yuanming stated this depended on the person’s intentions; after all, he knows Master Sumiao, even if we can force an invitation, what about the face of the Zixia Peak Master?
How about contacting Master Sumiao now?
Master Xiaosong opposed, saying let’s first send disciples to invite, maybe the other side would be willing to come, if communication with the Zixia Peak Master goes first, and if she opposes it, there wouldn’t be any other means left.
Master Yuanming found it strange: you always look up to things, why focus on a loose cultivator this time?
Master Xiaosong recounted his experiences at Wuwei Peak, "...not only can the cultivation technique be specifically modified, but the effects are also excellent; such a strange person deserves to be a Patron of Taiqing, naturally, should be roped in."
Master Yuanming thought more about it, couldn’t help but raise a question, "Since things are like this, that Zixia Peak disciple named Kong Ziyi couldn’t possibly overlook his importance, right? Why didn’t she recommend this person to the sect?"
Master Xiaosong thought about it too, finding it a bit hard to reconcile logically, "Maybe there’s something hidden then, in that case, I’ll send a couple more people to show sincerity."
"You can just forget about it," Master Yuanming bluntly refuted him, "Master Sumiao showed us this face, it’s the credit of my Tianyao Peak, and you want to intervene? A bit too much, don’t you think?"
"Look at your pettiness," Master Xiaosong huffed disdainfully, being an Immortal Second Generation, he indeed lacked no contributions from the sect, "I just want to make it easier for the disciples of Kongxing Peak, no other intentions, then send someone to accompany you, the credit will be yours if successful."
After they agreed, they didn’t even inform Wuwei Peak and just sent out their disciples individually.
The representative from Tianyao Peak is the chief senior brother, Sun Wufeng, who is at the Peak of Emerging Mundanity. He is currently aligning his Dao intent, and once the opportunity arises, he will be able to advance to the Core Formation stage.
Sun Wufeng possesses exceptional combat strength, and as the chief senior brother, he handles matters with great prudence. He is an indispensable aide to Master Yuanming. However, Tianyao Peak aims to take the lead in this collaboration between the two peaks, which is why he has been sent out.
As for Kongxing Peak, they have sent out two High-Rank Emerging Mundanity experts - one is Li Zhishen, who has just reached the Ninth Layer of Emerging Mundanity, and the other is Xie Qingyun, who remains at the Eighth Layer of Emerging Mundanity. Li Zhishen is a Sword Cultivator, while Xie Qingyun possesses the Hidden Fierce Wind Gold body and has been stuck at the Eighth Layer for forty years.
As for whether Xie Qingyun truly has the Hidden Feng Lei Jin Body, Master Xiaosong never even asked Poison Crane Minister to deduce it—not everyone can easily request the assistance of Poison Crane. The Peak Master of Kongxing believes that instead of incurring a debt of gratitude of uncertain size, it might be better to have Feng Jun casually assess it.
In essence, Master Xiaosong views Feng Jun as a Guest Elder of the sect, though not someone to boss around at will, yet more convenient to utilize than a Patron.
In addition, Kongxing Peak also sent four disciples from the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, supposedly to attend to the High-Rank Master Uncle.
In reality, these four have lingered at the Qi Refining Peak stage for some time, with a high probability of possessing the Hidden Fierce Wind Gold body. Master Xiaosong doesn’t intentionally inquire about it, but he is aware, though he chooses not to mention it usually - primarily because even mentioning it might not be useful and could affect the atmosphere within the peak.
Master Xiaosong’s arrangements were twofold. In case there were any secrets surrounding Feng Jun making it difficult to enlist his aid, at least he could assist these disciples with a deduction, ensuring the trip wasn’t in vain.
As the group of seven arrived at the Transmission Array, communicating with the cultivator guarding the array, someone exclaimed, "That Master Uncle seems to be from Zixia Peak."
The crowd turned their heads, and the Peak Master from Tianyao immediately recognized the person and called out, "Wan Feng! Brother Wan Feng, where are you headed?"
A blue shadow flashed and an exceptionally handsome young man appeared before them, none other than Lu Wanfeng, the core disciple from Zixia Peak.
He clasped his hands to Sun Wufeng with a smile, "Greetings, Sect Leader Sun, greetings to the two senior brothers from Kongxing Peak. What can I do for you?"
What they wanted to know, of course, was about Kong Ziyi and Feng Jun.
Upon hearing these two names, Lu Wanfeng’s expression turned slightly off. He didn’t have a favorable impression of Feng Jun and wasn’t keen on Kong Ziyi either. In other words, he was secretly in love with his master, Master Sumiao.
Nevertheless, before the disciples from the other eight peaks, he couldn’t speak recklessly, or Master Sumiao would never let him off.
So he exerted all efforts to belittle Feng Jun, saying things like he was a rootless Loose Cultivator, rooted in the Mortal Realm... Even mentioned that Mount Zhige in Donghua Country wasn’t as bustling as it was before.
The aura of Mount Zhige indeed diminished somewhat because Feng Jun hadn’t returned for a long time, and most of the stock was sold. If it weren’t for Tiantong having a branch there, and news of Feng Jun being an Immortal spreading, it might be even more desolate.
Lu Wanfeng stayed around Mount Zhige, helping Feng Jun look after the place until recently when he received a message from Master Sumiao: The heat around Mount Zhige had decreased, and fewer people coveted it, so he could return.
He had stayed at Mount Zhige for almost two years, barely cultivating, and now he could finally return to the sect.
So when he heard these folks planned to bring Feng Jun back to Taiqing, he immediately volunteered, saying he could follow them to dissuade Junior Sister Kong.
Sun Wufeng and Li Zhishen, of course, didn’t mind bringing him along; in their eyes, Lu Wanfeng was just a minor junior brother.
After all, the trip was an official task, and the transmission array wouldn’t mind taking one more person.
The eight of them transported to Mingsha Fang Market. Noticing someone wearing the Taiqing Sect disciples’ robes, someone on the side exclaimed, "Huh, Taiqing disciples... are they headed to Lantern Town too?"
Since those who came had never been to White Pebble Beach, they even inquired with some Taiqing Qi Refining Disciples about how to reach White Pebble Beach.
After a brief inquiry, the disciples returned with peculiar expressions, not because they failed to learn the route—many knew how to get to White Pebble Beach. The crucial part was they also found out something: Kong Ziyi had Master Sumiao’s token in her hand!
With that token, she and Feng Jun even led people to a brawl in the market, killing three High-Rank individuals.
Sun Wufeng’s expression remained normal, but inwardly he couldn’t help but lament—this matter appears quite tricky to handle.
Luckily, he noticed someone even more distressed than himself, "Brother Wan Feng, was it your master’s token that’s been given to Junior Sister Kong?"
The handsome face of the young man in the blue robe almost had "I’m in a bad mood" written on it. He really wasn’t good at concealing his emotions, "Strange, I haven’t heard Master mention this, how could it be given to her?"
Li Zhishen, who rarely spoke, furrowed his brow upon hearing this, "Is it a counterfeit?"
His voice was icy and cutting—it’s a Sword Cultivator’s thing, always speaking with the sword. He seemed poised to clean up the mess for Zixia Peak.
Xie Qingyun gave a light cough, "Maybe... we should ask at the market? They might know."
"No need to go to the market," Sun Wufeng released the Flying Boat, "Taiqing issues should be handled internally, why let outsiders watch the drama?"
