Chapter 2652: Chapter 2644: I Leaked the Secret on Purpose

I have to admit, Xuanyuan Buqi really understands human nature; just casually chatting can set up a trap like this.

Upon hearing this, Yi Jue’s face changed as well. She wasn’t afraid to stand against the True Monarch for the sect’s interests, but being labeled as "disrespectful to the higher-ups" would be a headache.

However, clever maneuvers aren’t exclusive to Buqi True Monarch. She looked at Feng Jun, "Mountain Master Feng, a big boss is threatening your client!"

"Alright, the big boss was just joking with you, Fairy," Feng Jun shook his head with a mixture of laughter and helplessness, "I can attest to your sincere heart in supporting the sect."

Attest... Buqi True Monarch gave him a faint glance and then laughed, "Junior Yi Jue’s support for the sect is almost comparable to that of clan practitioners; I truly admire it. Okay, I have no intention of forcing you into a deal; can you tell me what treasure it is?"

Anyway, this is the most unassuming bigwig Feng Jun has ever seen. Usually, when cultivators reach a certain stage, they habitually speak through their cultivation level—like Han Hai True Sage, who usually speaks with his sword, one sword doesn’t cut it, then two swords.

Xuanyuan Buqi is already a True Monarch, yet he still plays word games, chatting with coercive tactics after tactic, quick in response, and laying trap after trap, leaving one defenseless.

If Buqi True Monarch knew what Feng Jun was thinking, he would probably lament—do you think I want to do this? I really have no choice, carrying the burden of a clan, and it’s a clan that ranks highly for a long time; how can you understand my troubles?

But Yi Jue doesn’t need to understand; she’s recently hit roadblocks and is highly vigilant, feeling the question seemed like another trap, and without hesitation, she spoke nonsense, "The matter of the treasure concerns the development of my Spirit Plant path, forgive me for not answering."

"You really are..." Xuanyuan Buqi felt like a dog biting a hedgehog, unable to be angry yet not pleased, "I rushed over to help in a hurry.

At this moment, Feng Jun had already taken out his mobile phone and started to swipe, upon seeing this, Buqi True Monarch immediately fell silent. Now he knew very well, a few taps on this thing could be for analysis, or Feng Jun might leave.

And he knew very clearly that Feng Jun has at least two existences above the Divine Spirit Stage backing him; although he wasn’t particularly afraid of that Jing Ling, the other one was uncertain, he really didn’t dare to bet.

You’ve got to know, he had seen that Yin Spirit Bigwig from the Xiong Family, even when a True Monarch struck, they couldn’t keep the other party; that one’s capability was truly terrifying.

In brief, he could rely on his cultivation level disparity to show off in front of Feng Jun, but once the other side showed signs of summoning others, he absolutely wouldn’t act rashly—even if he had just helped Feng Jun in a fight,

Who’s to say if the other’s bigwig had a good temper or not? The situation with the Xuanyuan Family may look fine now, but it’s actually precarious, they truly cannot afford to bet.

Feng Jun was swiping his mobile phone, actually tracing origins, and quickly restored the scene, smirking as he looked at Xuanyuan Buqi, "Did the big boss hear something from Senior Qian Zhong this time?"

He could restore the scene, but could only see Qian Zhong and Buqi True Monarch communicating for a while, as both were communicating via Divine Sense, he couldn’t know what was exactly said.

At this moment, a shadow flashed, and Qian Zhong appeared outside the Spiritual Qi Shield, staring angrily at Buqi True Monarch and spoke coldly, "You caused me trouble, I didn’t say anything."

Xuanyuan Buqi couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "I say, each of you seems blind to my Spiritual Qi Shield... truly not considering the True Monarch, eh?"

"That’s because your methods are lacking," once in confrontation with him, Qian Zhong’s temper became much harsher, with none of the previous laid-back demeanor, "If your skills are lacking, don’t blame others for eavesdropping."

"Alright, it’s not a big deal," Feng Jun waved his hand and spoke indifferently, "That treasure is a Soul Exit Pill, there’s nothing that can’t be said."

"This is what you call nothing that can’t be said?" Yi Jue was so angry she almost spat blood, glaring at him angrily, "Don’t you know, upon hearing this news, even a Divine Spirit True Monarch might come seeking spiritual plant path for a transaction!"

Actually, that’s true, the Soul Exit Pill would basically not attract Nascent Soul Peak cultivators—they’re not qualified to covet it, at least only Soul Exit True Sages have the ability to think about it, with Divine Spirit True Monarchs being most suited to take action.

Feng Jun smiled, "No problem, we’re all insiders anyway."

How exactly are they insiders with you? Yi Jue was really angry to the point her liver was about to explode, she had gone all out in helping him cover up... but wait? Hold on.

She recalled the things that happened in the past with the Wan’er Dimension, Feng Jun casually said something, and she lightheartedly refused, yet facts proved that Feng Jun’s reaction then was correct, so what about this time?

Yi Jue understood very well in her heart; she’s unfamiliar with this set, and unwilling to think too much—not for lack of ability, purely out of dislike, so she finally waved her hand feebly and spoke weakly, "Suit yourself, but whatever you choose, count me in."

Neither of them spoke further, nor did the two True Monarchs, after a while, Xuanyuan Buqi finally asked incredulously, "The lost Soul Exit Pill... was it found in that hidden stash?"

Had I known it contained this, I would’ve lowered my face to trade with you, what are Chaos Spirit Liquid compared to this?

Feng Jun laughed and shook his head at this, "It wasn’t that hidden stash, but the senior’s secret treasure! Saying such would upset it."

Could you please get it clear, the secret treasure has an owner!

Moreover, he’s absolutely convinced that if Xuanyuan Buqi tried to move that secret treasure, once the big boss’s cultivation is fully restored, the Xuanyuan Family will have some fun.

In his perception, although the Big Boss is rather sly and meticulous in action, he is definitely not without temper.

"That senior?" Xuanyuan Buqi was first taken aback, then laughed, "So taking away the senior’s secret treasure privately like this... isn’t that disrespectful to the senior?"

"No problem," Feng Jun shook his head, responding indifferently, "That senior appreciates me; it won’t mind these little things."

"These little things..." Xuanyuan Buqi, despite his high cultivation level and long life, was still shocked by his tone— Even the sole True Sage of my Xuanyuan Family wouldn’t dare to speak like that.

However, having experienced great storms, he gathered his thoughts and asked smoothly, "Since Mountain Master Feng can casually produce a Soul Exit Pill, there should be more than one Soul Exit Pill in the secret treasure, right?"

Feng Jun stared at him for a moment, then laughed, "Great Sir... how about I take you to meet that senior, and you ask it yourself?"

How could Xuanyuan Buqi possibly take such a risk? It’s not a matter of courage; the Xuanyuan Family cannot afford the gamble, so even though the words had a hint of provocation, he could only hold back, smilingly explaining, "I mean at a high price through Extreme Spirit."

Indeed, he was sharp enough to catch Feng Jun’s key point: caring about Extreme Spirit.

The Magical Treasure’s price is Extreme Spirit, and the price Yi Jue mentioned was also Extreme Spirit.

He even vaguely guessed whether the Artifact Spirit in that Dust Settling Magical Treasure was injured in its essence and needed Extreme Spirit for nurturing?

Smart people thinking about things are close enough to the truth.

Feng Jun mused for a moment before speaking, "Just Extreme Spirit may not be enough; we also need to complete some tasks... actually, there are only two Soul Exit Pills in total."

"I want the second one!" Xuanyuan Buqi spoke without hesitation; if he could avoid competing with Yi Jue, he wouldn’t want to provoke the Spirit Plant Path either, "You can name the price; I won’t haggling."

"Wishful thinking!" Qian Zhong raised his hand, directly shattered the Spiritual Qi Shield, walked in, and spoke coldly, "Miser, it’s not your turn to flaunt... Canglang must be polite upon seeing me!"

The word "miser" directly awakened Xuanyuan Buqi’s unbearable childhood memories, "You are... you are..."

"Shut up!" Qian Zhong glared at him coldly, "Dare to say one more word, and I’ll beat you!"

"It’s you..." The expression on Xuanyuan Buqi’s face was quite peculiar, filled with delight, fear, annoyance, shock... a mixture of emotions, but in the end, it transformed into a cold snort, "Leave, I don’t want to make a move against you."

"It’s about the first come, first served," Qian Zhong replied blandly, "If we’re talking engagement, I interacted with Mountain Master Feng earlier; it’s not your turn to act wantonly in front of me... what, addicted to cutting the line?"

Almost instantly, the two started fighting, which was also the reason Feng Jun confessed about the Soul Exit Pill.

Normally, he is used to being sly; things that don’t carry a risk, he definitely won’t take. But now there’s a problem—the Big Boss spread the secret treasures far too widely.

The Big Boss confidently told him that when his cultivation level is higher, finding a few more secret treasures will allow him to quickly restore his cultivation.

However, it can disregard over a hundred as if they were nothing, but Feng Jun cannot—You’re scattering wealth carelessly, but I’m poor.

Thinking about the constant extraction of Extreme Spirit by treasure seekers, Feng Jun is understandably unsettled.

Just after returning to the manor, the first one to approach Feng Jun wasn’t Xuanyuan Buqi, but the Yin Spirit Bigwig, who expressed after inventorying that the secret treasure had lost quite a few valuables.

It really doesn’t remember specifics, but it can confirm that a set of "Origin Lock Refining Array" is missing.

Simply put, the materials sprayed from the lava are harmless, but the Fire Crystals sprayed out were undoubtedly due to the secret treasure’s leakage.

Without the "Origin Lock Refining Array," ordinary magma attempts to emit Fire Crystals would be more difficult than finding essence from stones, let alone frequently spraying them out.

As for the latter Fire Spirit King, the Big Boss was even angrier; it believed that at most there could have been only a Fire Spirit there, but due to the early leakage of the "Origin Lock Refining Array," the Fire Spirit upgraded.

Moreover, right after Feng Jun took away the secret treasure, the lava quickly went into a rampage, which was because there was no longer the suppressing force of the secret treasure, causing all these entities to erupt altogether.

When the Big Boss got to this point, it was incredibly furious, claiming the Fire Spirit King should have belonged to it—even though it wasn’t very interested in the Fire Spirit King, it could have been for Feng Jun’s use.

Listening to this, Feng Jun felt somewhat odd, "So, the issue with the secret treasure is largely related to you?"
