Chapter 2646: Chapter 2638: The Big Boss Shows Off (Second Update)

Feng Jun nodded upon hearing this, "Deliver it to White Pebble Beach, I hope it can be quicker, otherwise it will affect my services to the Green Lotus Sect."

"Services" to the Green Lotus Sect... Jiu Ge was somewhat speechless, but for him, compensating with Extreme Spirit Stones wasn’t a big issue.

He inherited his master’s relics, which included more than twenty Extreme Spirit Stones. After reaching the Emergence Stage, he acquired a few more Extreme Spirit Stones. Most importantly, he had conflicts with several big figures in the Green Lotus Sect; even if they wanted to borrow Extreme Spirit Stones, they wouldn’t ask him.

Jiu Ge was very aware that he was unlikely to advance to the Divine Spirit Stage, and he didn’t need Extreme Spirit Stones much. With no one borrowing from him, his stash of nearly a hundred Extreme Spirit Stones might mostly be left to his disciples in the future.

Extreme Spirit Stones are indeed precious, but not all precious things are equal. For some who can’t use them, they can serve as tokens to resolve karma, which is also a good choice.

Thus, he had the interest to ask, "Are you really in need of Extreme Spirit Stones?"

"Who isn’t? This question is rather puzzling," Feng Jun thought. "Can you exchange some for me?"

"Exchange is impossible," Jiu Ge Sage wasn’t naive to such an extent. He straightforwardly stated, "Those sect Nascent Souls you captured might also be exchanged for Extreme Spirit Stones; I can negotiate on your behalf... Interested?"

"Very interested!" Feng Jun nodded decisively. Capturing these people, killing them, or crippling them seemed a waste—plus, the Insect World needed Nascent Souls, and it’s easy to make enemies. Trading them for Extreme Spirit Stones is much better.

However, he emphasized, "The two disciples from Wanhuan’s side, I won’t exchange; I plan to kill them."

"That’s fine," Jiu Ge Sage wasn’t interested in knowing what grudge the other party had with Wanhuan’s side. Being able to protect Master Nantian of the Jinse Lineage satisfied him. "What’s the price for Nascent Souls?"

"Intermediate Level two Extreme Spirit Stones, Intermediate Level four, High-Rank six," Feng Jun answered straightforwardly. Ordinary Nascent Souls wouldn’t have such wealth. However, Yi Jue was a Nascent Soul High Stage, holding eight Extreme Spirit Stones without counting her other assets.

So Feng Jun’s goal is to exhaust these Nascent Souls’ savings, not caring where they obtain Spirit Stones.

Jiu Ge Sage nodded, indicating his agreement to the offer, but eventually commented, "You’re ruthless."

Feng Jun shook his head indifferently, "I’m not the one seeking trouble; allowing them redemption is already generous."

Jiu Ge Sage hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t help asking, "Selling Chaos Spirit Liquid? I’ll trade in Extreme Spirit Stones."

"That’s impossible," Feng Jun replied decisively. Knowing Xuanyuan was eavesdropping, he declared, "The owner of this secret stash is an old acquaintance; everything inside isn’t for sale."

Xuanyuan was indeed shocked and interrupted, "This secret stash is at least three thousand years old, and the owner has an old acquaintance with you... they’re still alive?"

"They’re certainly alive," Feng Jun responded matter-of-factly, "Though they are somewhat inconvenienced, they entrusted me to retrieve the stash."

Setting up such a secret stash three thousand years ago... Jiu Ge Sage reckoned at least an Emergence Stage’s lifespan of three thousand years, so that person must have been Divine Spirit Stage or higher.

For such a person to entrust Feng Jun to collect the stash, Jiu Ge Sage’s previous concern completely disappeared—though he had mentioned not minding the injuries to give face, now it appears they hardly care for such face.

Of course, Jiu Ge Sage wouldn’t demean himself, as someone part of a sect, he understood that while it can offer support, it can’t be solely relied upon. Only knowing to rely on sects eventually leads to losing one’s true cultivator spirit.

Jiu Ge Sage pondered introspectively, while Xuanyuan confronted Wei Sancai because he had slain Xuanyuan’s family in-law.

The Nascent Soul High Stage from the Xuanyuan Family wasn’t trying to make threats, but seeing Feng Jun collect precious items and even the chest stirred some discontent. With their Divine Spirit ancestor’s arrival, they wanted Wei Sancai to symbolically compensate a little.

Wei Sancai naturally refused, arguing Xuanyuan’s family actually offered mischief by inciting others against Feng Jun, claiming to cleanse their clan—saying even if Xuanyuan mobilized their junior members against him, he’d hold no contempt.

However, Xuanyuan countered, saying ultimately, you’re inadequate, incapable of suppressing everyone, so you sacrific my family’s in-law. See how my arrival reined everyone in without chaos; hence your act of murder was disrespectful.

"Give me a break," Wei Sancai dismissed, as the Xuanyuan juniors had been eyeing Feng Jun too. If Wei Sancai hadn’t acted decisively, mistakes might have ensued—he challenged them to verify with Feng Jun.

"You’re out of line," Xuanyuan shook his head disapprovingly, proposing, "I won’t give you a hard time. It seems you’re connected to Qian Zhong. Just reveal that person’s origins and we’ll call it even."

"Forget it!" Wei Sancai refused flatly, knowing Xuanyuan could sense links with her. Informing of her origins would spell disaster.

Amidst this turmoil, Feng Jun collected the chest again. The Big Boss suggested while the chest isn’t exceptionally valuable, it holds utility. Crucially, leaving it could allow someone to trace its origin.

Just as Feng Jun had stowed away the box, the lava suddenly erupted violently, like a boiling pot. The initially hundreds-of-feet-high fire pillar soared to over two thousand feet, causing a chorus of exclamations.

Even Xuanyuan Buqi and Wei Sancai, who were bickering, ceased their argument and turned their heads to look.

Feng Jun’s body flashed as he swiftly retreated several hundred li, intending to pull back even more. However, Yi Jue’s horsetail whisk wrapped around his waist, and in a flash, they were thousands of miles away.

Feng Jun felt an urge to cover his face with his hand—just now, he was all majestic, but now he’s become a burden that needs someone to carry him away.

However, no one cared about this. Everyone was yelling, "The opportunity has emerged, quickly see if it’s materials or Fire Crystals!"

Yet Yi Jue didn’t concern herself with these matters, only casting a sidelong glance at Feng Jun, "Do you want to leave?"

She understood him best; the opportunity in others’ eyes shouldn’t hold much attraction for him—tens of thousands of people are hoping for the opportunity, most of whom are just Spirit Stone cultivators; how great could it be?

Feng Jun nodded, "Let’s go; if I were to seize these opportunities again, it would really anger the crowd."

The box he had just taken had clear evidence linking it to him, but even so, other cultivators were extremely jealous. If not for one true sovereign and two true sages present, it could very likely result in a mass incident.

This is not to say that Wei Sancai’s display of a true sage is small. The critical factor is that group effect emotion is incredibly terrifying; so many people’s emotions influencing each other very easily lead to losing reason—just think of the pyramid schemes in the Earth Realm.

Feng Jun was not interested in testing the rational limits of these cultivators; he felt that leaving now would be best.

Then he used his Divine Sense to notify Wei Sancai and Xuanyuan Buqi, saying they were leaving, and would they leave?

Wei Sancai had no interest in staying, for his Divine Sense exceeded that of Feng Jun and Yi Jue, having already gauged what opportunities these people were awaiting—originally, from a hundred years ago, this lava would intermittently spew out some treasures.

At the start, the grade of these treasures wasn’t very high, but as time passed, the lava’s activity became increasingly intense, and the grade of spewed treasures climbed higher and higher, to the point that Nascent Soul High Stage cultivators were drawn over.

By this time, someone wanted to clear the scene, but the news had spread widely, making it too difficult to act again to clear it.

Wei Sancai sincerely despised the petty things here; in his view, let alone Fire Crystals—even if a Fire Essence were to be spewed, it would be just that—not particularly rare, nor absent in the Wei Family Minor Realm.

Most importantly, Xuanyuan Buqi was present; not only was he a Divine Spirit practitioner, but this was also Xuanyuan Family’s territory. Wei Sancai did not believe he had the strength to contest treasures with Buqi True Sovereign.

Xuanyuan Buqi wasn’t interested in the treasures here either, but this time, Xuanyuan family’s juniors didn’t agree, saying that since the ancestor was here, he couldn’t leave things half-done, and there was still a Jiu Ge Sage among the sect practitioners.

Jiu Ge Sage... is indeed a hassle; Buqi True Sovereign had to address this issue, so he told Feng Jun: wait a little, let me check the juniors’ opportunities—Xuanyuan family doesn’t take others’ advantage, but neither can they allow others to bully them.

That comment was accurate, but Feng Jun expressed he wouldn’t accompany—I’m not afraid to attract hatred, but there’s no need to actively seek trouble.

Then he left with Wei Sancai and Yi Jue, Xuanyuan Buqi watched them disappear, chuckling and shaking his head, "After marrying the wife, the matchmaker is left over the wall... that’s quite practical."

Feng Jun first took Wei Sancai to the Insect World, then returned to White Pebble Beach with Yi Jue, closed the door, and started inventorying Big Boss’s secret stash.

The most eye-catching in the secret stash was Chaos Spirit Liquid, totaling ten drops. Yet Feng Jun focused on, "Gold Consolidation Pill, Nascent Baby Powder, and Soul Exit Pill... a complete set of barrier-breaking elixirs, how concerned were you about failing to advance?"

"Backup plans, just backup plans," Big Boss could only laugh dryly, "I couldn’t predict what situation I’d encounter, so... considered all the possibilities."

"But..." Feng Jun was still a bit frantic, "you’ve prepared full sets of barrier-breaking elixirs, altogether three sets!"

"What if I need some subordinates?" Big Boss naturally rebutted, "I must prepare some benefits for my subordinates."

"Soul Exit Pill... your subordinates?" Feng Jun’s lip twitched again, "You’ve redefined the concept of subordinates for me."

"Cultivation level not as high as mine, obviously subordinates," Big Boss answered nonchalantly, "Don’t mention Soul Exit Stage, back then, I even had Divine Spirit Stage subordinates."

So you’re at least in the Body Integration Realm? Feng Jun thought to ask this but eventually held his tongue, "What is this disc... a compass?"
