Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2065 - 2067: Forming a Core on Borrowed Land

Chapter 2065: Chapter 2067: Forming a Core on Borrowed Land

Upon hearing Feng Jun’s words, even the formidable True Immortal Yi Jue couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

"Ninety-six percent, that’s really not low... By the way, what was her original probability of forming a core in three years?"

"Also ninety-six percent," Yan Yuxi couldn’t help but answer loudly, "Besides, the calculation hasn’t included those seedlings."

True Immortal Yi Jue couldn’t resist glancing at Feng Jun, "Then, should we call those seedlings over and perform another calculation?"

"There’s no need," Feng Jun shook his head and answered naturally, "We’ve already reached ninety-six percent, how much more can we add? Why be so afraid of death?"

"I’m not afraid," Yan Yuxi loudly protested, "I didn’t bring the seedlings. I just want you to perform a calculation."

"I’m merely curious about how much it can enhance," True Immortal Yi Jue replied casually and asked in return, "Won’t you admit that this is the aura of fellow cultivators?"

"Of course I hope it’s the aura of fellow cultivators," Feng Jun chuckled at the words, "You must know, this is my land, but unfortunately... I can’t prove it’s the aura of fellow cultivators. Can you prove it, True Immortal?"

This sort of thing is indeed unprovable! True Immortal Yi Jue understood this very well. In fact, this theory has never been conclusively established; similar phenomena have appeared more than once, but they lack convincing arguments.

So, she could only shake her head, "I also have no magic to help, and can only discuss it within a limited range."

While they were discussing theories, Yan Yuxi had already run out to inform her clan members, saying she planned to form her core at Feng Jun’s manor.

The Yan Family was a bit puzzled upon hearing this; our family has land too, so why do it at someone else’s place?

Pine Cypress Peak bought a large piece of land near White Pebble Beach, and even sold part of it to the Dantai family. On their own land, they barely managed to channel an Earth Vein of Peak Dust-Cleanse Level.

Though it’s called a Dust-Cleanse Earth Vein, combined with the Spirit Gathering Array, it’s sufficient for Initial Golden Core Stage cultivation. Even short-term Mid-Stage Golden Core cultivation isn’t a problem; however, in that case, the cost would be relatively high.

The Yan Family values frugality, but when it’s time to spend money, they spare no effort. Their own Golden Core seedlings running to someone else’s place to form a core—what’s the meaning of this?

This goes beyond the issue of face; forming a core on borrowed land requires bearing the karmic consequences of borrowing the land!

Yan Yuxi indicated that White Pebble Beach has the aura of fellow cultivators, forming a core at home would miss this convenience.

The Yan Family’s Golden Cores found this astonishing: Does the aura of fellow cultivators truly exist?

Yan Yuxi had to invite Feng Jun over to calculate her probability of forming a core at home.

Feng Jun was actually interested in this too. He wanted to understand how much the aura’s influence could enhance the probability of forming a core. Yet, since nobody mentioned it, he didn’t bother to bring it up—he really had too many things to handle and preferred to avoid additional complications.

But now that Yan Yuxi had extended an invitation, the situation was different, especially since there was a research fanatic by his side.

True Immortal Yi Jue had long wanted to understand the difference between the two. However, given her status, requesting to collect data on someone else’s territory seemed a bit presumptuous and could appear as bullying—does being at Nascent Soul Peak allow one to do whatever they want?

Thus, she almost pushed Feng Jun to the land purchased by Pine Cypress Peak.

Moreover, without Feng Jun’s intervention, True Immortal Yi Jue could also deduce a similar probability, "A little over ninety percent?"

"That’s right, ninety-one percent," Feng Jun nodded, "It seems there’s only a half-percent improvement, but going from eighty-three percent to ninety-one percent in just a few months is a significant leap. Daoist Yuxi’s progress is indeed impressive."

"It’s not just that reason," True Immortal Yi Jue shook her head and solemnly remarked, "Her current mindset is still influenced by the aura of fellow cultivators, and the distance from White Pebble Beach to here isn’t far, so the aura can spread over to some extent."

Yan Yuxi’s eyes lit up at the words, "Can we recalculate at Pine Cypress Peak? That would provide more accurate data."

"It can’t be absolutely accurate," True Immortal Yi Jue promptly shook her head, indicating her absolute disinterest in going to Pine Cypress Peak, "As I said, your current mindset is influenced by the aura, which, in itself, is quite real."

Yan Yuxi then summoned those Cauldron Seedlings again to perform the calculation once more.

True Immortal Yi Jue wasn’t particularly adept at this kind of calculation. After calculating for a while, she looked towards Feng Jun, "It seems of little help."

Feng Jun didn’t hide anything, nodding, "Indeed, it’s of little help, but these seedlings are used when something goes awry. That’s when the calculation becomes more effective."

During Core Formation, something could go wrong in countless directions, so calculations now aren’t very effective.

Yan Yuxi, however, consulted with the family’s master again, "The probability is only half a percent lower, which isn’t much... Should I just form the core at our place? Maybe we can just ask Mountain Master Feng for occasional oversight."

This is, of course, sarcasm. A half percent chance is not high, but if it’s a ninety percent chance with an additional half percent, and the real cultivators in the clan dare to agree, regardless of whether Yan Yuxi successfully forms her core or not, he would be held accountable when he returns to the Yan Family!

So he could only express that if True Immortal Yi Jue also says so, it certainly can’t be false. Of course, I support you going to Mountain Master Feng to form your core.

Yan Yuxi wants to form her core in Feng Jun’s manor! The next day, the news spread across White Pebble Beach. Everyone was puzzled: You have land and leyline near Pine Cypress Peak, so why go to Mountain Master Feng’s manor? Could it be...

The Yan Family values Yan Yuxi highly as a seedling and doesn’t want her to suffer any grievances, so they made subtle explanations, stating that they feel forming the core at White Pebble Beach is more appropriate, and among the owners of the six Golden Core leylines, the Yan Family has closer relations with Mountain Master Feng.

This explanation seems weak, like "there’s no silver here," but forces truly familiar with the Yan Family would not ignore the signal released from these words.

That evening, Master Sumiao sought an audience with the family’s visiting True Immortal, wanting to know if White Pebble Beach had the legendary "Same Path Aura"—there are indeed too many intelligent people in the world.

If she hadn’t asked so directly, True Immortal Yi Jue might have evaded the question, but lying in such circumstances would indeed be too unworthy of all the years of cultivation by the Taixu Sect.

So she expressed, "Opportunities are rare; if there aren’t enough at the Taiqing Sect, why not sell some favors to other sects."

No wonder she is a True Immortal from the visiting sect; her perspective immediately broadened to include all the Taiqing Sect’s sub-sects.

"But..." Master Sumiao hesitated for a moment, asking in a low voice, "This deduction quota is really hard to come by."

Because of their closer ties with Feng Jun, the Taiqing Sect has still managed to acquire several deduction quotas, but with such good things, the Taiqing Sect will only feel it’s too little and never too much. It’s impossible to distribute them all, and many people are watching. Now giving it to outsiders?

Sumiao doesn’t think outsiders absolutely cannot be given them, but she can’t make such decisions; at present, she only wants to hear True Immortal Yi Jue’s advice.

True Immortal Yi Jue did not disappoint her, casually saying, "Having this opportunity is already not easy; why worry about deductions?"

Sumiao thought, yes, with the Same Path Aura around, it’s almost as if one foot is already at the threshold of core formation. At this time, if one is still overly concerned about people, they indeed deserve not to form their core.

In any case, upon hearing True Immortal Yi Jue’s answer, she basically confirmed the truth and got the advice of a True Immortal. Then she returned to the other courtyard and reported the news to the clan, allowing them to decide.

Her unusual behavior was noticed by an old acquaintance—Master Busheng of Tianxin Platform.

Master Busheng loves to wander around, but Master Buzui, who is in charge, noticed his relationship with Feng Jun and specifically assigned him to stay in the other courtyard at White Pebble Beach. Having a real cultivator like him is better than having two stationed from their own sect.

Master Buzui issued this task also with the intention of finding a suitable opportunity to leave. For a mere White Pebble Beach, gathering so many real cultivators truly makes no sense—but the longer he stays, the more he realizes perhaps he shouldn’t leave casually.

Regardless, leaving Ji Buseng behind was still a great move; he is not only familiar with Feng Jun but also familiar with Sumiao.

Master Sumiao originally intended to keep it confidential, but Master Busheng claimed he had good relations with Feng Jun too. He offered that using a little favor wasn’t a problem and if there’s a matter he couldn’t find out—since you’ve already spent the favor, why should we both spend favors on the same issue?

Sumiao snorted, saying, "I have no ties with you. Whether you spend your favors or not has nothing to do with me."

Ji Buseng also knew her temper and immediately assured her, "Next time, I’ll share any information I find with you."

Sumiao also understood that Ji Yongnian’s relationship with Feng Jun wasn’t bad. With this promise, she subtly hinted that there were matters involving other sub-sects from the visiting sect, and she couldn’t make the call; she’d report to the party in charge, who would decide.

In his heart, Ji Buseng also had more or less the same suspicion; hearing this, he responded quickly, "Could it be the Same Path Aura?"

Master Sumiao gazed skyward, remaining silent—how could she answer such a question?

Master Busheng understood her too well and immediately went to find Master Buzui—one must take White Pebble Beach very seriously.

Master Buzui rolled his eyes, saying, "I am the master of Tianxin; if I can’t even leave, what more serious could it get?"

Master Busheng’s face became serious as he slowly uttered four words, "Same Path Aura!"

"Oh my, it’s really that?" Master Buzui was startled. The cultivators at Tianxin Platform were especially aware of the weight of the Same Path Aura. Their sect, Xuanhuang Sect, had once had a period of glory like that, "Are you certain?"

"Eighty percent sure," Master Busheng slowly replied, "Pine Cypress Peak’s actions can serve as evidence."

"Hmm, interesting," coincidentally, Master Qingya was practicing the Earth Listening Technique. She saw Ji Buseng running back and forth, so she quietly eavesdropped a little—women sometimes have a strong curiosity for gossip, and truly, most of her intent was playful.

Unexpectedly, in a moment of excitement, Master Buzui actually let her overhear a phrase—what does "Pine Cypress Peak’s actions can serve as evidence" mean?
