Chapter 2650 - 2642: I’m So Poor

Chapter 2650: Chapter 2642: I’m So Poor

The terrified Human Federation frantically contacted the Tianqin cultivators to learn their origin and intentions.

But how arrogant were the Tianqin cultivators? They had long reached a consensus: ignore the communications from these locals.

This time, the Human Federation reacted quickly, giving a three-day response deadline.

Seeing no response within three days, the Federation issued an ultimatum: We don’t know why you’re fighting the Insect Race. We hope after this battle you will leave the Federation’s territory, or we will assume it’s a declaration of war!

While the Tianqin cultivators weren’t afraid of battle, there was no shortage of iron-blooded warriors in the Federation!

Xiaotong True Sage wasn’t interested in the Federation’s ultimatum; he had no intention of opposing them. If the Federation knew his thoughts, they’d probably be furious because his attitude was - disregard!

Nevertheless, although the Tianqin cultivators held the mindset of superiors and openly despised the Federation, they decided to avoid contact after this battle—after all, they were both part of the Human Race and had a common enemy, the Insect Race.

The Tianqin cultivators looked down on the Human Federation but wouldn’t slaughter each other to benefit the Insect Race. Anyway, the Tianqin cultivators couldn’t invade in large numbers in the short term, so why not leave the Federation to attract the Insect Race’s firepower?

After hearing this news, Feng Jun and Yi Jue weren’t particularly surprised. Feng Jun even remarked, "It’s not bad to be discovered now. If you spend enough time on the mountain, you’ll eventually encounter a tiger; if you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?"

Yi Jue approached it from a technical angle, suggesting, "Future cultivators should be cautious. If the technologically advanced Human Federation gets a hold of cultivators’ bloodlines and genes, they might cause some trouble."

Although she trusted the strength of the Tianqin cultivators, because of Feng Jun’s presence, she had quite an understanding of Federation technology—not enough to cause great harm, but if careless, suffering a small loss would be very normal.

When Xiaotong True Sage mentioned this, he felt a little insecure, "All we can do is try to avoid it. If Yuangang Disciples come to seek opportunities in the future, the Human Federation might indeed obtain Tianqin people’s corpses, as Feng Xiaoyou said, it’s a matter of time."

However, he cared more about, "The ones caught unawares this time were my Yuangang Disciples; truly shameful."

"Why feel ashamed?" Feng Jun laughed upon hearing this, "Actually, the first one to be recorded on video should have been me... I got hit during teleportation, with the Human Race warship and Insect Race pinning me. I didn’t find it particularly embarrassing."

Xiaotong True Sage laughed at this; he had heard about this matter but still said, "Feng Xiaoyou, you were assisting in transporting the cultivators, but that kid was competing for loot; there’s a difference in intention... by the way, you came here for?"

Yi Jue responded quickly, "There’s something at the sect, we’d like Elder Kumu to return for consultation, it won’t affect your arrangements, will it?"

"It won’t," Xiaotong True Sage shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Elder Kumu’s condition isn’t great. There’s a batch of wounded here; if they can be taken together, that would be best."

Elder Kumu is actually already injured; the injuries aren’t too severe, but he has been fighting for a long time without proper recovery—the rules of the Insect World are really unfriendly to cultivators, leading to his poor condition.

He’s relatively better; the Spirit Plant Path’s cultivation technique emphasizes the breath of life and is effective for healing. Many cultivators from the First Battlefield are worse off than him, but he’s quite old. If his foundation is harmed, his future is doomed.

Elder Cang Jing’s injuries are also quite severe, but she’s not afraid; even if her foundation suffers minor damage, she can recover after returning.

After a few words, Feng Jun found that despite the high cultivation level of the Tianqin cultivators, having plans unguarded, many still suffered severe injuries in this prolonged war. It truly shows that "many ants can bite an elephant to death," the Insect World isn’t easy to conquer.

The group ready to return quickly assembled, close to twenty people. Interestingly, the Yuangang Golden Core Master who leaked the DNA of the Tianqin cultivators wasn’t in a hurry to return.

His injuries were severe initially, but they were just flesh wounds, not harming his foundation, and he was very young, recovering quickly.

Moreover, he felt quite embarrassed, not wanting to return. Xiaotong True Sage checked and saw no risks in letting him stay — this positive spirit truly deserves encouragement.

Feng Jun first took the group to the passage entrance, dropped them off, and without hesitation, returned with Yi Jue and Kumu Elder. Someone seemed to call him from behind, but he ignored it.

Upon reaching Spirit Plant Path, Yi Jue directly contacted the relevant elder, saying she wanted to conduct another simulation at the Spirit Land of Soul Exit.

The elder had just dealt with Yi Jue’s simulation, naturally didn’t hesitate, and arranged it immediately.

Kumu was puzzled—this clearly wasn’t the posture for discussing anything in Spirit Plant Path. He wasn’t shy with Yi Jue, so he asked why she brought him back, exactly.

Yi Jue dared not say outright, only implying that she saw the elder was quite tired, and there might be an opportunity worth seizing.

Kumu understood. What is Feng Jun skilled at? Simulation! What does the Spirit Land of Soul Exit signify? The possibility of Soul Exit!

Moreover, he believed Yi Jue wouldn’t harm him, and—Feng Jun wouldn’t be bored enough to harm him, right?

So he no longer asked—some things really shouldn’t be asked casually.

Half a day later, Feng Jun began to deduce for Elder Kumu. Since his condition was terrible, he first had to simulate using various healing potions and then deduce the probability of Soul Exit.

This deduction was truly astonishing. Originally, Elder Kumu’s probability of successfully achieving Soul Exit was eight percent. That’s right, not even ten percent, and this was with choosing numerous correct recovery methods to reach that probability.

If without Feng Jun’s suggestion and he relied on his own instincts for recovery, the success rate of Soul Exit would only be two to three percent.

But after using the Soul Exit Pill, the efficiency suddenly rose to forty-one percent; the rate of improvement was truly frightening.

However, this wasn’t the end yet. A forty-one percent probability was still low, not even reaching half. But then, an astonishing event occurred. After using the Soul Exit Pill, Feng Jun could match numerous Heaven and Earth Treasures, which greatly aided Kumu’s Soul Exit.

Ultimately, Kumu’s probability of successful Soul Exit could even be as high as seventy-three percent.

Indeed, the Soul Exit Pill can enhance the probability of Soul Exit, but the most critical aspect isn’t the degree of enhancement, but whether you have the Soul Exit Pill.

The Soul Exit Pill is not just a pill, but a platform—with the Soul Exit Pill, one can go further.

Of course, this effect is significant for Elder Kumu. For Yi Jue, the role of the Soul Exit Pill can truly be ignored. No way, geniuses and mortals are destined to live in different worlds.

But in fact, Feng Jun believes the function of the Soul Exit Pill is to increase the probability of Soul Exit. It’s just that he is so skilled at deduction, turning a pill into a platform.

This deduction result, he did not tell Elder Kumu but whispered it to Yi Jue—without reservation.

Yi Jue was quite surprised, paused for a full ten minutes to digest the news because it really challenged her understanding—a mere pill can elevate the probability of Soul Exit from eight percent to seventy-three percent?

Let’s not joke like this, okay?

Indeed, besides the pill, a lot of Heaven and Earth Treasures need to be added, but no matter how many Heaven and Earth Treasures, can they be more valuable than having an extra True Sage exiting Soul?

She reacted for a long time before she understood Feng Jun’s meaning, "This pill combined with your deduction... it’s absolutely brilliant."

Feng Jun lowered his voice and said, "Don’t be too explicit."

"I understand," Yi Jue glanced at him, proudly expressing, "You’ve been impressed by my ability to scheme."

Feng Jun raised his hand to wipe his forehead: I’m more worried that your ability to scheme is just a fleeting astonishment.

He doesn’t doubt Yi Jue’s ability, but this woman... is really a homebody to the extreme. Some ability might not necessarily be used on this.

Indeed, Yi Jue didn’t really say anything to Kumu True Immortal.

Elder Kumu very much wanted to know his prospects for achieving Soul Exit—even though he was planning to give up, Feng Jun specially picked him up, Yi Jue arranged the deduction, and coordinated Spirit Land, making it hard for him not to take it seriously.

So after ending the "deduction" status, he quietly asked Yi Jue, "Do I... have a chance for Soul Exit?"

"The chance is there," Yi Jue paused and then said, "maybe... it’s not that small, but Brother Kumu, you might need to save up some resources, which are quite expensive. I can help you get some discounts, but... alright, I can lend you some."

Upon hearing this, Kumu laughed, "Little Yi Jue, how come you think your Brother Kumu is a pauper?"

"I... I really didn’t mean that," Yi Jue felt a bit helpless, "I just think you’ve taken care of me many times, so I’ll first help you get an opportunity. As for resources, I have them here, but you also need to work hard."

"Haha, your resources," Elder Kumu laughed loudly, "Little Yi Jue, it’s nice that you remember me, and I’m grateful, but talking about resources with me... it’s pointless... do you think you make a lot of money in the Spirit Plant path?"

Yi Jue blinked and confidently nodded, "I do make quite a lot... I have eight Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

Actually, flaunting one’s wealth is a taboo among fellow sect members. She really cared for Elder Kumu, so she hinted to him—I’ve indeed secured many good conditions for you, but you truly need to consider what you need to pay for.

"Top-Grade Spirit Stones... they are indeed hard to obtain," Elder Kumu sighed deeply, "I must apologize for underestimating the complexity."

But in the next moment, he took a deep breath, "Oh my, it requires so many Heaven and Earth Treasures? Might as well kill me."
