Chapter 2647: Chapter 2639: Everyone Lacks Something (Third Update)

This time, the Big Boss’s cache really has a lot of good stuff: talisman treasures, precious treasures, elixirs, cultivation techniques, heaven and earth treasures, and more.

However, Feng Jun’s casual question directly triggered the Big Boss’s wrath, "Move anything but don’t touch that disk!"

"I wasn’t planning on touching it, okay?" Feng Jun stepped back two steps, helplessly spread his hands, then took out a cigarette to light, "If you don’t trust me, you can stay here yourself, I’ll head out... how about that?"

"Sorry, I got a bit sensitive," the Big Boss immediately apologized. For it, apologizing was quite rare, but it had seen how Feng Jun risked his life to help it find the cache—even going as far as inviting True Sage and True Lord twice.

So, it took the initiative to explain the reason, "This is a Puzzle Tracing Disk, critically important to me... I only have four sets."

Is "only" really the right word to use here? Feng Jun’s mouth twitched, "What about the other three sets?"

"I... don’t quite remember," the Yin Spirit Bigwig felt a bit embarrassed, "But that secondary plane definitely has only one set."

Feng Jun’s expression darkened, "Senior, please tell the truth, how many caches do you have?"

The Big Boss hesitantly replied, "There... are more than thirty locations."

"More than thirty locations..." Feng Jun felt a bit of a headache, but he felt it wasn’t telling the truth, "How many more?"

"More... over a hundred places," it was truly reluctant, but admitting its reluctance was pretty hard, so it erupted, "Shouldn’t I have more caches of this caliber?"

"But..." Feng Jun was rather speechless, "There are twenty Extreme Spirits though."

Twenty Extreme Spirits multiplied by over a hundred locations, Feng Jun could hardly imagine how vast a resource that was.

"These Extreme Spirits are mine, I can’t give them to you!" The Big Boss directly suppressed some inappropriate thoughts, "And not every place has twenty Extreme Spirits. This cache has a Puzzle Tracing Disk, so there’s just a bit more Extreme Spirits."

You’re really not just any ordinary reluctant person, Feng Jun was indeed at a loss for words, "How many Extreme Spirits do the relatively fewer caches have?"

"Three to five pieces, ten or eight pieces... it varies," the Big Boss replied helplessly, "Many caches have already been taken by outsiders."

Feng Jun lit up a cigarette, only speaking after finishing it, "It’s precisely because there are people like you, Senior, that so many adventurers wander around searching for ruins or caches. I’ve finally understood where those caches in the tales come from."

"Convenience to others is convenience to oneself," surprising no one, the Big Boss seemed quite open-minded, "So far, my memory isn’t complete. I can remember as much as possible... it’s considered accumulating merit."

Upon hearing the word "merit," Feng Jun was shocked, "You’ve even delved into Incense Fire Ascension?"

"Not really, just experimented with some avatars in the past," the Big Boss was quite open about this issue, "In fact, merit isn’t limited to Incense Fire Ascension. After research, I found... even in planes without Incense Fire Ascension, merit is effective."

It grew more excited as it spoke, "Strictly speaking, merit can partly offset karma, and just like you burying the Swallowed Star Demon’s corpse, obtaining joy from cultivators also earns slight favor from the will of heaven and earth, making it easier to gain its favor, naturally offsetting karma."

Unexpectedly, you really have researched it, Feng Jun at that moment also admired the Big Boss, people were genuinely conducting experiments with spirit stones, "However, the effect is limited, right?"

"Limited is always better than none," the Big Boss spoke in an overwhelmingly bold tone, "Actually, I just want to know, building a few more caches, does it help me? Since it does, consuming a bit more is no big deal. If I fall, who will the spirit stones be left to?"

This mentality is also common on Earth—people are gone, but money remains, like that.

To traditional Huaxia citizens, however, this kind of talk is unacceptable. When people are gone, money is left for the next generation to use.

Saving is paramount, that’s why the Huaxia nation has historically been able to withstand so many natural disasters and calamities.

Yet Huaxia civilization is inherently inclusive, allowing for different thoughts to exist instead of shouting "heretic" and burning them at the stake.

Feng Jun could also accept this notion, he took a deep breath and asked slowly, "So, Senior, when you recover your cultivation level, you don’t need that many Extreme Spirits, right?"

"Of course, I won’t need that many," the Big Boss knew what he wanted to say, "If you can assist me wholeheartedly, once my cultivation level is restored, giving some Extreme Spirits to that Jing Ling to help it recover the origin... it isn’t much of a problem."

I actually wanted to ask for the Guardian, Feng Jun nodded, "Senior truly values merit."

"But my problem now is, everywhere I go needs Extreme Spirits," the Big Boss was well aware of Feng Jun’s mind, having spent so much time together, who doesn’t know who? "My Extreme Spirits aren’t just used for restoring the origin; Chaos Spirit Liquid needs them, Puzzle Tracing Disk also requires Extreme Spirits."

"Senior, please wait a moment," Feng Jun couldn’t hold back, "This Puzzle Tracing Disk... exactly what is it, why haven’t I heard of it? I believe I’ve read quite a few texts."

"Hehe, haven’t you read a lot?" The Big Boss sneered dismissively, "You don’t even know about the Puzzle Tracing Disk, that’s truly ignorance, to put it simply: solve the mystery of the womb, trace the origin of the body."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jun was stunned, "It can even solve the mystery of the womb?"

"Hehe, how rare," the Big Boss sneered, "Back then, I didn’t know how I would fall in the future, so wouldn’t I prepare various contingencies? Solving mysteries and tracing origins are not ordinary means, combining them is more economical...I do know how to save."

You call this knowing how to save... Feng Jun was speechless again, alright, as you wish, "I’m quite aware of the mystery of the womb, how about tracing the origin of the body?"

"Don’t you have some common sense?" The Big Boss was helpless too, "Look at me now, do I look like I have a body?"

I’ve seen plenty without a body, Feng Jun laughed, "So, this can help you find your body?"

He believed the Yin Spirit Bigwig hadn’t reincarnated, otherwise where would the Remnant Soul come from?

"How can it possibly find the body?" The Big Boss directly denied his statement, but in the next moment, it made a reversal, "At most it can find fragments of the body... If the body were here, why would I be like this now?"

"Then hurry up and find it," Feng Jun was quite willing to help, "Once found, I’ll assist as your protector, if necessary, I can invite a few True Sages."

Previously, he was always averse to engaging with True Sages, the reason being simple, out of one’s league, trying to forcefully blend into a circle, only brings humiliation upon oneself.

But this time during the Wan’er Plane trip, he saw it clearly, his own standing is not too bad, the chances of not swaying anyone aren’t big, the key is...how much he’s willing to sacrifice.

Feng Jun is someone who doesn’t like trouble, but the Big Boss’s help to him has been tremendous, even surpassing Yi Jue—when he was neither here nor there, it was the Big Boss’s Heavenly Fragrance Fruit that helped him advance all the way.

His leapfrog kill of the first Golden Core was due to the Big Boss’s Paralysis Talisman, and during the Dantai family’s siege of White Pebble Beach with dozens of Golden Cores, it was the Big Boss’s Xiao Bai that helped him escape, otherwise, while ruined is an overstatement, his foundation might not have been preserved.

People should know gratitude, as someone who values principles, Feng Jun pays even more attention to this.

But the reaction of the Yin Spirit Bigwig was very irritating, "An Out-of-Body True Sage, even my servants are nothing more... fine, thank you."

Feng Jun was genuinely angry, "Your words are irritating, I don’t even know any powerful beings, sorry to disappoint you."

"Alright, just kidding," the Big Boss immediately shrank back, "But I really don’t need an Out-of-Body True Sage, if you’re sincere, just helping as my protector is enough...mainly because I don’t trust them."

Feng Jun chuckled bitterly at his words, "I’m quite happy you trust me, but my strength isn’t enough."

"Strength has never been the issue," the Big Boss casually remarked, "I know many powerful beings, but you’re the only one I am willing to trust."

Feng Jun didn’t buy it, he unequivocally stated, "That means you aren’t good in dealing with people."

"I’ve never been human, alright?" The Big Boss wasn’t angry, "You didn’t think my body was human, did you?"

"That does make sense," Feng Jun acknowledged the point, he had speculations about the Big Boss’s body but didn’t want to say more, "This Chaos Spirit Liquid...is it meant to reshape your limbs?"

"Yes," the Big Boss didn’t find Feng Jun’s correct guess surprising, "also costs Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

"I’m not concerned with your Top-Grade Spirit Stones right now," Feng Jun waved his hand and casually said, "I just want to know, is it to first use the Puzzle Tracing Disk, find fragments of the body, then use the Chaos Spirit Liquid to nurture them?"

"That’s right, it’s the normal process," the Big Boss replied without hesitation, "even though your level hasn’t reached...well, nothing you said is wrong."

"I really dislike how you hesitate to speak," Feng Jun couldn’t stand it, so he vented, then said, "Use the Puzzle Tracing Disk first, when you find the body, tell me and I’ll accompany you."

Finding hidden treasures involves such a big show, finding fragments of the body must be even harder, but people live once, some things must be done, Feng Jun may be cautious, but he isn’t short on commitment when it counts.

Surprisingly, the Big Boss didn’t speak incessantly for once, after a while, it said, "Tracing isn’t an issue, but...my body fragments might not be on the Tianqin Plane."

"It’s not like that, right?" Feng Jun was blown away, although he believed he was a fated protagonist, the idea of stirring trouble outside the Tianqin plane at his current cultivation level was rather absurd.

"Do you think it’s unnecessary to have an Out-of-Body True Sage, can I, with a Small Golden Core solve such issues?"

"See, you’re scared, aren’t you?" Strangely enough, the Big Boss wasn’t concerned about his capability, but his courage, "Even if my body is on Tianqin, but you’re not courageous enough."
