Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2049 - 2051: Moran Deserves a Beating

Gu Yue knew that Master Yuan was suspicious and took the initiative to explain, saying that Feng Jun’s ability to deduce was first noticed by the Crimson Pheonix Sect.

This statement was true; initially, Tianxin Platform, Wuyou Platform, and the Taiqing Sect discovered Feng Jun’s deduction abilities, but it was the Crimson Pheonix Sect that valued it systematically. Later, the three Rongxuns of Crimson Pheonix forming their cores highlighted this from the side.

During the two months Master Yuan spent back at the Hot Spring Plate, he didn’t just collect treasures. He investigated Feng Jun thoroughly, realizing Master Guyue wasn’t lying.

Actually, he was just making a casual complaint, but Gu Yue’s statement gave him an opportunity to ask, "Haven’t we always said this is a matter for Golden Core? The Jinwu Sect sent Wan Qing True Immortal over; he’s not at Nascent Soul Initial Stage."

Master Guyue didn’t know how to explain, "Well, we’ve got Nascent Soul here, the Crimson Pheonix has a better relationship with Mountain Master Feng, so if they send someone at Nascent Soul Middle Phase... that’s normal, right?"

Master Yuan glanced at him, speaking with a hint of a smile, "Friend Guyue, do you belong to the Taixu Sect or the Jinwu Sect?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Gu Yue now knew how to communicate with him, and snorted lightly, "I’m just stating the facts. If we can have True Immortal here, why can’t others?"

Actually, he’s been in East City all along and knew why Jinwu had someone at Nascent Soul Middle Phase.

To be honest, Xia Nichang felt quite overwhelmed in her heart. She was over two hundred years younger than Gu Yue and hadn’t visited Tianqin often. She occasionally felt like a ’country girl’ and agreed with what Gu Yue said.

So she contacted a sister who had previously taken care of her. This senior sister was very righteous, not only being good to her but also to many others. Xia Nichang reached out, saying, "There’s a chance for Nascent Soul here, and it could bring some good things to the sect."

"I can help you make the connection, but please don’t tell anyone casually."

Xia Nichang certainly didn’t expect that although she hadn’t yet formed her Nascent Soul, her legend was already alive within the Jinwu Sect.

When she saw her senior sister coming over with a large group, she was utterly stunned.

Running away... was a bit late, "The weather’s nice today, haha... Sister Ran Yun, are you going to battle?"

Master Ranyun was the one a little over seven hundred years old, younger spirited than Gu Yue. She laughed and spoke, "You’re laughing at me... Didn’t you say there’s an opportunity for Nascent Soul? I brought everyone to ask about it."

"You’re putting me in a bind," Xia Nichang said, realizing she couldn’t dodge this, so she stubbornly faced it, her eyes glaring, "I said not to tell others, are your ears deaf?"

Xia Taishang had always been patient and cultured at White Pebble Beach, treating people without issue, but the truth was that female cultivators from the Crimson Pheonix Sect were incredibly fiery due to their cultivation technique—she hadn’t erupted yet.

Master Ranyun wasn’t angry. Although Jinwu Sect had many lower branches, the Crimson Pheonix Sect remained distinctive—cultivating pure Yang techniques was one thing, but they focused on Kun cultivation.

Fiery Kun cultivators are even harder to deal with than Qian cultivators, so Master Ranyun could only shrug, signaling sheepishly, "I didn’t tell others, just wanted the master to deduce whether Kunhao Realm has a Nascent Soul opportunity."

Master Ranyun’s master wasn’t remarkable at deduction—not comparable to Feng Jun.

But upon hearing that the Nascent Soul opportunity was from Kunhao Plane, deduced by Feng Jun, the news was immediately passed along.

Master Ranyun expressed her true dilemma, "You may not know, the three Rongxuns forming their cores in the Crimson Pheonix caused a significant stir in the Jinwu Sect’s upper echelon... That they didn’t forcefully seek your deductions shows restraint."

Therefore, Jinwu Sect sent two Golden Core Peaks; they weren’t here to trouble Feng Jun but because his accomplishments in the lower realm were outstanding. While other sects might overlook him, how could Jinwu Sect ignore him?

As for why Wan Qing True Immortal came? Simple, with so many Nascent Soul treasures, could they proceed without a True Immortal protecting the field?

Unlike Master Guyue who searched across for treasures, Xia Nichang didn’t have to search. Jinwu Sect directly mobilized sect resources; precious treasures couldn’t be carried, but related information was prepared to avoid being laughed at by Feng Jun.

Could the grand Jinwu Sect really lack the treasures for disciples forming Nascent Souls?

Master Yuan was frustrated; in truth, Master Moran was even more frustrated: If only I’d known the sect could intervene, why didn’t I do so?

Master Guyue tried persuading him again, explaining the Crimson Pheonix’s relationship with Feng Jun couldn’t be compared to Taiqing, and... Master Moran, you previously didn’t want others to know, but changed your mind. You can’t change your mind again, it will harm your Dao heart!

Anyhow, since the Jinwu Sect’s people already arrived, saying anything else was pointless. Just wait for Feng Jun to arrive and see what he means.

At three months’ end, Feng Jun indeed arrived on schedule, accompanied by Master Yi Jue.

The True Immortal Yi Jue was originally quite pleased with her divination and had no interest in returning to Tianqin, but when Feng Jun mentioned his plan to go to Yiyao Main City first, she had to respond; she was worried that something might change in East City.

While she was relatively simple, she was definitely not foolish. The key point was that she knew Feng Jun was exceptionally skilled at extricating himself. If the Taixu Sect really took action, they might not be able to trap Feng Jun, but they would certainly make an enemy of him.

Therefore, she decided to follow along and see for herself, taking the opportunity to gauge the Taixu Sect’s attitude towards the divination request she had made.

The appearance of True Immortal Yi Jue surprised the disciples of the Jinwu Sect a little. They had heard from Xia Nichang that True Immortal Yi Jue was at White Pebble Beach, but they truly did not expect that someone known for being a homebody would follow Feng Jun like a bodyguard.

However, True Immortal Yi Jue was not in a good mood. She hadn’t expected that after Moran and Gu Yue had been in Tianqin for three months, they hadn’t communicated with the Taixu Sect at all; instead, they were focused on collecting treasures and promoting the Contribution Point System.

But she did not bother to argue with them; she just urged Feng Jun to hurry up so they could return to Kunhao once business was concluded.

So under the watchful eyes of many, Feng Jun began divining for Master Moran, and True Immortal Yi Jue also followed along, doing her own divination for a while before she stopped and stood up. She realized she simply couldn’t match the suitable treasures within this sea of items.

Ultimately, there was still a gap between her divination and Feng Jun’s, and compared to divining for others, she was more adept at divining for herself. Her own being was quite spiritual, and it was only with the reasonable use of Mirror Talismans that she could divine the situation with Si Ganlin.

But her situation of "finding it harder to divine for others and easier for oneself" was contrary to normal divination practices, precisely indicating that her divination abilities needed further improvement. In Kunhao, she could roughly divine about Master Moran’s situation, comparable to Feng Jun, but that was her limit.

Her divination in East City was about the same as at White Pebble Beach, so she packed up immediately; otherwise, when Feng Jun asked her about her divination results later, she wouldn’t know how to answer.

Feng Jun conducted his divination for a full day and only stood up at night to announce, "There are results now, everyone else please step aside."

The Gestation of a Nascent Soul is fundamentally different from Core Formation; it is the difference between mortal and immortal realms. When divining about it, it was fine if others watched during the process, but when it involved the specifics of the Gestation of a Nascent Soul, it could only be disclosed to the person concerned.

In fact, he didn’t speak aloud; he simply used his Divine Sense to inscribe something on an obsidian and handed it to Moran.

Master Moran immediately placed the obsidian against his forehead, inspecting it on the spot, and after reading it, he destroyed the obsidian.

When he walked out of Feng Jun’s quarters, his expression wasn’t good, and he slightly clenched his fist,

Master Yuan, curious, asked, "Master Moran, why do you look like this, could it be that the divination results were unfavorable?"

Master Moran shook his head, replying gloomily, "Not very good, it’ll require a lot more Spirit Stones."

"That’s a good thing; spending Spirit Stones can increase the chance of Gestation of a Nascent Soul," Master Yuan said with a smile, "The real tragedy is having Spirit Stones but having Mountain Master Feng say ’I don’t think you need to waste them’, now that would be truly sad."

Moran shook his head, "I’m not that pitiful...just lamenting that the treasures are too expensive, preparing for a Nascent Soul will cost me everything."

Master Yuan couldn’t hold back his curiosity, "What’s the chance of the Gestation of a Nascent Soul?"

Moran grew even more depressed, shaking his head, "Not too high."

"So in other words, it’s not too low either?" True Immortal Wu Xiu became interested; as an up-and-coming talent within the Taixu Sect, he knew the pride of geniuses, "What’s the chance, surely it’s not less than sixty percent?"

This kind of goading was a bit crude, but Moran had a master to support him and wasn’t entirely focused on survival, so he also had the thought of showing off, "Less than eighty percent... sigh, it’s troubling."

True Immortal Wu Xiu was speechless, raising a hand to point at him, "Talking like that is asking to be hit when you’re out."

"It could actually be over eighty percent," Moran said with a bitter smile, looking helpless, "But raising it from seventy-nine percent to eighty-one percent requires a whole six treasures... It seems I’ll be spending my Nascent Soul Stage days doing missions and paying off my debts."

"You can divine with such precision?" True Immortal Wu Xiu paused, "Then just seventy-nine percent is fine. If the treasures are too expensive and do not improve much, it’s better to save those Spirit Stones... Raising it by that small amount isn’t significant."

His words were sincere; everyone knew the more treasures, the higher the Gestation of a Nascent Soul chance. The key was that there had to be a balance between the two!

Immediately after, he realized another issue, "Besides, you’re considered fortunate, knowing the effects of treasure stacking. Without Mountain Master Feng’s professional divination, many people have the opposite effect from stacking treasures, you should really be content!"

Master Moran, however, nodded thoughtfully, "Then I’ll consider it, see what chance I should raise it to. But even if it doesn’t reach eighty-one percent, reaching eighty percent is the bare minimum... If it’s not even eighty, can that be called being secure?"

Master Yuan rolled his eyes at him in exasperation, "Talking like that will really get you beaten up. I’d be thanking the heavens if I could count on a fifty percent chance."
