Chapter 2632: Chapter 2624: Magical Treasure Showcase

Because of cognitive bias, Yi Jue heard that Feng Jun’s sect was providing subsidies and couldn’t help but ask, "Isn’t this encouraging laziness?"

It is indeed encouraging laziness! Feng Jun completely agreed with this point, but he still had to protect the face of the Earth Realm, and he believed that the concepts of Earth also had an advanced side, so he could only manage a bitter smile and say, "I mentioned, there’s an investment return ratio."

"Why let others invest?" Yi Jue had a cold personality and rarely argued with others, but it was clear she was taking it seriously now, not out of opposition, but seriously asking, "Can’t one save up on their own?"

"That really may not be possible," Feng Jun felt he had the right to speak on this, for he had an experience that hurt to the bone, "If the initial accumulation can’t keep up, how are you supposed to save up?"

Back then, he had drifted in Sheep City and Roc City, working hard to save up... but he didn’t succeed.

"That’s because your ancestors left nothing behind," Yi Jue’s words were cruel to the extreme, yet she spoke them with a light-hearted demeanor, "Then you can only rely on your own efforts."

"Does effort work?" Feng Jun felt particularly aggrieved, but he didn’t dare say it was based on his own personal experience, "When you’re starting from behind, hard work can be exhausting and still unaccomplished... this situation is quite common."

Yi Jue didn’t know that Feng Jun had already projected himself into the situation, so she straightforwardly stated, "Then it’s just that the previous generation’s accumulation wasn’t enough, these things... rely on luck and can’t blame others."

This is the cognition of a Tianqin cultivator, just work hard, my fate is determined by me, not by heaven.

Feng Jun shook his head after hearing this; he didn’t really want to say anything, but in the end, he couldn’t help but say, "In the initial stage, necessary support still needs to be there, but this matter doesn’t have a right or wrong... let’s not speak of it anymore."

Just then, Yan Yuxi returned, eagerly stating, "The fourth set, I’ve set it for Pine Cypress Peak."

Feng Jun looked at her in surprise, "Pine Cypress Peak has double-digit extreme spirits?"

"I never said that," Yan Yuxi hurriedly waved her hand.

She would occasionally boast too; after all, young people prove their value by bragging now and then, but if it could bring disaster to the clan, it should be avoided, "Pine Cypress Peak can’t bear such rumors, it’s just that other branches are willing to lend me extreme spirits."

Yi Jue couldn’t help but frown at this, "Does your reputation... hold that much weight?"

Why speak so sharply? Yan Yuxi looked at her helplessly, "My reputation really isn’t enough, but the reputation of Mountain Master Feng is well-known, and everyone believes that what he produces must be good stuff."

Actually, there was more she hadn’t said; speaking of betting, the highest cultivation at White Pebble Beach for the Yan Family is Golden Core. A Nascent Soul did come once, but they went to the Insect World. How could a few Golden Core Masters control the decision for double-digit extreme spirits?

But several Golden Core Masters discussed and thought the opportunity should be seized, especially since they felt, once Yan Yuxi managed to connect with White Pebble Beach, causing Feng Jun’s displeasure due to reneging would indeed be a huge loss.

Anyway, they had a variety of contingency plans, securing this spot was the real deal, the rest didn’t matter much.

Feng Jun naturally also thought of this point, he frowned and said, "If the magical treasure can’t be guaranteed to be placed at Pine Cypress Peak, I won’t sell it to you."

Yan Yuxi apparently guessed something from his words, yet this stance was exactly what she wanted, she smiled slightly, "Rest assured, if it can’t be placed at Pine Cypress Peak, just sell it to someone else, don’t worry about giving face."

"Are you guys done yet?" Qian Zhong finally raised her head, impatiently stating, "I’m working hard while you’re chatting, isn’t this a bit too much? Everyone should work too! How can it be just me?"

"I refuse," Yi Jue decisively declined, "You got a discount, I didn’t, so you should work!"

Qian Zhong glared at her, "It’s fine if he doesn’t give others a discount, but how could he not give you one?"

"I really don’t need to fight for this discount," Yi Jue looked at her in surprise, "Since it’s something the sect is definitely going to buy, securing a spot is enough for me. Why bargain and use personal favors for sect matters, is it worth it?"

True to Yi Jue’s character, she could articulate even this logically.

Qian Zhong was defeated by her, "Forget it, I’ll find another place to input information... Mountain Master Feng, you’d better give me a directory, I’ve forgotten most of the little ants below Golden Core, get me two more Masters."

"That can be done," Feng Jun nodded, then looked at Yan Yuxi, "Invite two Masters from the Yan family to come over, they need to be knowledgeable."

"Alright," Yan Yuxi nodded and left without another word.

Word got out that Feng Jun was looking for people to enrich the data, and many Masters volunteered; Feng Jun didn’t want to dampen everyone’s enthusiasm, so he selected ten Masters: four from clans, four from sects, and two loose cultivators, also dividing the types of monsters they were responsible for.

With help, the speed was indeed fast; two days later, all the information was input, the main contributor being Qian Zhong, and another two days were used for proofreading. While not all information was guaranteed to be complete, it was close enough and could be adjusted over time.

Next, Feng Jun wanted to start the internal test.

Since it was an internal test, outsiders couldn’t watch, so the only outsiders were Qian Zhong, Yi Jue, and Yan Yuxi.

Feng Jun chose a piece of empty land in the manor and fully activated the magical treasure.

In the next moment, a shimmering light gate appeared more than a hundred meters away from the treasure.

Yun Buyao was already ready to jump in, and seeing Feng Jun raise his chin, she lifted her hand in salute and walked straight into the light gate.

This treasure has spatial attributes, capable of accommodating eight hundred people to battle simultaneously without interfering with each other.

After Yun Buyao entered, Feng Jun tapped a touch-screen like panel a few times, and Yun Buyao’s battle against an adult purple-gold eagle appeared in the air.

Feng Jun was initially stunned, then started to laugh, "Starting right off with a purple-gold eagle, her ambition is truly extraordinary."

Qian Zhong thought of something else, "How many people can be observed this way at once?"

"Eighty people," Feng Jun answered seriously, "There’s an option for zoom and selection, and combined with the image retention stone, it can also record. Observing even eight hundred is possible, but extra components are needed... I think such battle training should be relatively private..."

As Feng Jun explained, Yun Buyao’s performance in battle became increasingly fierce; she slew one purple-gold eagle, then chose to fight two, then three, and after three, it was four.

In fact, after killing three, she was already covered in wounds, almost unable to stand, with one eye blinded by a peck.

So when four purple-gold eagles appeared, she lasted less than two breaths before being killed, and was ejected from the light gate.

The first thing everyone saw was still the neatly dressed Yun Buyao, only she was drenched in sweat, breathing heavily, and despite her tiredness, her eyes remained bright.

"A good seed," Qian Zhong genuinely praised, "The key is her determined nature, rarely seen among female cultivators. If you hadn’t already taken her as a disciple, I might have considered taking her myself."

Take her? Don’t joke, Feng Jun understood well. This Divine Spirit Big Boss was just casually saying it. While Innate Pure Gold Physique is rare, it’s still one in ten million, plus other innate Five Elements and Profound Yin constitutions...

Anyway, she was just talking, and taking it seriously was foolish. So he just smiled, "I’ll find two more people..."

The ones to come next were Zhang Caixin and Liu Yiyi, both at the early Out Dust stage. Once they entered the Virtual Combat System, it’s no surprise their performance was slightly worse than Yun Buyao’s.

Zhang Caixin was doing better, using the treasure skillfully, engaging in close combat generally, adept at using defense talismans, and enjoying combat against various Spirit Beasts, with a strong willingness to try.

Liu Yiyi was even more timid, only using talismans for long-range attacks and occasionally using the treasure.

Neither of them were reckless enough to get killed. As Feng Jun stated it was a test, after a bit of injury, they voluntarily withdrew, but their interest was still high, "That was quite thrilling."

Qian Zhong couldn’t help but shake his head lightly—such nature still needs training.

She didn’t think Yun Buyao’s recklessness was worth encouraging, but the latter two were noticeably more timid.

Ideally, the first person could be a bit more composed, and the latter two could be bolder.

But recognizing this made her realize the immense benefit this treasure could bring to cultivators—it allows for targeted analysis and guidance!

As for Feng Jun’s emphasis on privacy, in the clan’s disciples, privacy... what does it mean? It’s nonexistent!

This magical treasure needs to be customized quickly,

but she soon realized another problem, "Only up to eight hundred people can use it... With ten thousand people, it would take half a year to get a day. Can the numbers be increased?"

"Of course, the number can be increased, but you’d need to add components," Feng Jun answered casually, "Just buy with Spirit Stones."

Qian Zhong couldn’t help but glance at him, "You... really have the makings of a business person."

"It’s not what you think," Feng Jun’s expression remained calm, "Eight hundred is actually enough; this isn’t a place for daily cultivation. Sect disciple assessments or trials can open at intervals... If you continuously use it without maintenance, the magical treasure can wear out easily."

"Besides, constantly running this treasure... is absolutely a Spirit Stone-consuming master."

"Indeed..." Yan Yuxi’s complexion looked a bit pale as she nodded, "Such as medium-grade Spirit Stones. My Pine Cypress Peak certainly can’t afford this for years without limitation; there’s simply not that much medium spirit."

Yi Jue and Qian Zhong directly ignored her words. Pine Cypress Peak... Is such a small force even worth mentioning?

(Update, didn’t expect March also has a double vote month, the last three days are double votes, Feng Xiao intends to push past ten thousand votes this month.)
