Chapter 2653: Chapter 2645: Nine Songs’ Apology Gift

Feng Jun’s question was vehemently countered by the Big Boss — how can you slander someone like this?

But in fact, there’s no arguing this point, the volcanic eruption is definitely related to the secret hoard, it’s just that he hadn’t considered it at the time.

The two of them hadn’t argued for long when Xuanyuan Buqi enthusiastically came over, and the topic was thus dropped.

Later, when the effectiveness of Xuanyuan Buqi’s Spiritual Qi shield declined, it was due to interference from the Big Boss. Not only could Qian Zhong sense it, but even Yi Jue could deduce something. Neither had expected that a soul entity was causing trouble among them.

In the end, it was because the Big Boss had absorbed several secret hoards and his overall ability had strengthened, allowing him to manipulate the Divine Spirit stage Spiritual Qi shield without Xuanyuan Buqi and Qian Zhong noticing.

White Pebble Beach also had several Nascent Soul cultivators, but seeing Xuanyuan Buqi enter the manor and deploy the Spiritual Qi shield, who would dare continue recklessly? Did they really think they could ignore the Divine Spirit True Lords?

For this reason, Xuanyuan Buqi was always bewildered — how could they still sense my Divine Sense after the Spiritual Qi shield was deployed?

But Feng Jun always felt envious, saying Big Boss, your secret hoards are really too opulent. If you don’t want them, you can give them to me.

Xuanyuan Buqi had his sights set on something that Feng Jun was well aware of. To be honest, when he gave the Soul Exit Pill to Yi Jue at the time, he indeed overlooked one thing — he had forgotten that Qian Zhong also had a habit of spying in the manor.

By the time the others realized and he perceived the situation was serious, it was already too late, and it was impossible for him to keep them silent by confronting a Divine Spirit True Lord.

In the end, it was the lack of vigilance after living peacefully for too long, living without caution.

Enough about this, now he candidly admitted that he still had a Soul Exit Pill. Naturally, this doesn’t mean he decided to stop being cautious. Instead, he intended to use it to leverage the power of the two Divine Spirit True Lords to explore more secret hoards.

In this process, he would surely take some risks, but he believed the risks were worth it.

Sure enough, when he mentioned having another Soul Exit Pill, the first reaction of the two True Lords wasn’t to restrain him and search for the pills, but to scramble for the opportunity to obtain the pill.

After arguing for a while, Qian Zhong could no longer be bothered with Xuanyuan Buqi, but instead looked toward Feng Jun, "How many Extreme Spirits? Name your price, and also... what task needs to be accomplished?"

Feng Jun pondered and spoke, "I believe fifty Extreme Spirits is a more appropriate price, and I also need protection to complete three explorations."

"Fifty Extreme Spirits is actually a bit pricey; in ancient times, it was about twenty or so," Qian Zhong casually remarked. When dealing with anyone other than Xuanyuan Buqi, she always seemed so easygoing, "But now is different from ancient times, this price is acceptable."

Xuanyuan Buqi also chimed in. Although he seemed wealthy, fifty Extreme Spirits wasn’t a small sum to him either, so he said, "Spirit Stones are fine, and three explorations are not a problem. As long as there’s nothing that could harm a True Lord, five might also be possible."

In fact, nowadays in Tianqin, including all the lower realms and secondary planes, there really aren’t many entities that can harm a True Lord.

Qian Zhong cast a glance at him, her mouth moved slightly as if she wanted to say something but ultimately kept silent.

But Feng Jun then spoke up again, "Currently, only the two True Lords are aware of this news."

The two True Lords remained silent, turning their gazes towards Yi Jue — doesn’t she know?

Yi Jue kept silent, and Feng Jun didn’t offer any explanation, "I hope the two of you can keep this secret, to prevent more people from contesting."

The two True Lords exchanged a glance, each with a mind to firmly secure the spot, but discussing it now seemed a bit too ambitious. After all... two people competing is always better than more people competing.

Xuanyuan Buqi was a man of action, nodding, "Then I’ll go get the Extreme Spirits, Qian Zhong, take care of yourself."

Of course, he worried that once he left, that hot-headed True Lord might force Feng Jun to hand over the Soul Exit Pill.

Qian Zhong, having suffered a loss before and having compensated with five pieces of Extreme Spirit, rolled her eyes at his words, "I don’t have as much nerve as you. When I turn to get the Extreme Spirits, that’ll be your opportunity."

Is Xuanyuan Buqi cunning enough? Hearing this, he chuckled, "I know you’re trying to trick me; do you think I’ll fall for it?"

"Ahem," Feng Jun lightly coughed twice, "You two, no need to rush, after the three tasks are completed, there’s still time to prepare the Extreme Spirits."

Both of them couldn’t help but think, who will you sell your Soul Exit Pill to if we’ve both completed the tasks? The two True Lords shared a silent question.

For them, currently having leisure time to assist Feng Jun with the tasks was really simple, and they weren’t concerned about Feng Jun reneging, but the main issue was, they didn’t want any other form of compensation.

Even though they thought this way, neither of them expressed it — doing so would damage their impression scores.

Just then, a Divine Sense descended, "Ji Niang from the Green Lotus Sect requests to see Mountain Master Feng."

"Oh, such nerve," Xuanyuan Buqi instinctively remarked, "Just an Intermediate Level Nascent Soul, yet daring to directly send down a Divine Sense?"

In truth, an Intermediate Level Nascent Soul in Kunhao ranks among the top, and there’s nothing improper about a Divine Sense visit. But one must realize, this is White Pebble Beach, and in Feng Jun’s manor no less.

Currently, there are two True Lords in the manor, and any other Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t dare to send down a Divine Sense, otherwise they’d be asking for trouble.

For this reason, the four of them could converse here without worrying about others spying.

True Immortal Ji Niang had just arrived, feeling a bit puzzled, "Both of us are at the Nascent Soul Middle Phase, why are you so arrogant?"

However, her master had repeatedly reminded her, warning not to offend this estate easily, so she changed her approach and spoke in a deep voice, "Ji Niang of the Green Lotus Sect requests to meet Mountain Master Feng."

"Alright, don’t scare others," Feng Jun glanced at Xuanyuan Bu Qi, then instructed, "Ye Yu, please bring our guest in."

True Immortal Ji Niang, with cultivation at the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer, had a round face and a plump figure, two small canine teeth appeared when she smiled, looking very amiable, "Are you the master here? Greetings, Mountain Master Feng..."

At this moment, Xuanyuan Bu Qi snorted coldly, looking in a direction, "Enough is enough. If anyone continues to spy on Xiaoyou Feng’s estate, don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson."

It turned out several divine senses stealthily followed True Immortal Ji Niang inside, wanting to see what might happen.

True Immortal Ji Niang naturally felt it too and looked at him again but said nothing.

Feng Jun smiled and nodded, "Greetings, True Immortal Ji Niang. What guidance does the Green Lotus Sect have for me?"

True Immortal Ji Niang saw his unwavering demeanor and thought, as expected, he did have some confidence, then spoke in a deep voice, "Would Mountain Master Feng be so kind as to... dismiss the others?"

Dismiss the others? The three said nothing, but Feng Jun smiled, "It’s alright, none of them are outsiders."

Xuanyuan Bu Qi chuckled dryly, "Perhaps not, if there were ten supreme spirit stones, I might consider robbing them."

"You," True Immortal Ji Niang looked at him in shock, thinking, how did you know?

But immediately, she responded, "Are you the very True Sage in person?"

"Don’t mind him," Qian Zhong waved a hand, "Scaring the juniors, what kind of behavior is that? Truly deserves a beating!"

True Immortal Ji Niang gave her another meaningful glance, increasingly realizing the situation.

Xuanyuan Bu Qi ignored her and instead joyfully said, "Here to deliver the ten supreme spirit stones, right?"

It seemed like a joke, but Feng Jun understood that Bu Qi’s insistence on the "ten supreme spirit stones" was to back him up—without the reimbursement of ten supreme spirit stones offered by Jiu Ge Sage, discussing any matters with the Green Lotus Sect was off the table!

So listen carefully to the words and intentions, especially when well-meant advice is given, avoid misinterpretation.

True Immortal Ji Niang was already certain that these two were highly likely to be True Sages, plus Feng Jun mentioned they were not outsiders, causing her to hesitate slightly before nodding, "Yes, the sect assigned me to deliver them to Mountain Master Feng."

This statement carried a hint of warning, but Xuanyuan Bu Qi didn’t care, instead curiously asking, "Your cultivation... is it safe?"

True Immortal Ji Niang smiled, "My master, True Sage Liu He, is my protector, although Kunhao... is unfavorable to the Great Sage, I carry my master’s aura."

A Nascent Soul Middle Phase carrying supreme spirit stones was indeed not particularly safe, but with a True Sage’s attention, it wasn’t an issue.

Her words might have contained a warning, but the two True Sages acted like they hadn’t heard, and Xuanyuan Bu Qi did not inquire further.

In the next moment, True Immortal Ji Niang raised her hand, releasing a box, "Please, Mountain Master Feng, inspect it."

Feng Jun dared not open the box; White Pebble Beach was usually quite safe, but the aura of the supreme spirit stones was too enticing, why add unnecessary risk?

He took out his mobile phone and swiped to check if the numbers matched.

Then he looked up and nodded again, "The quantity is correct. Are you about to advance?"

"Indeed," True Immortal Ji Niang nodded, being stuck at the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer for quite some time, always feeling just a step away from advancement.

Recently, with the Insect World open, the Green Lotus Sect also had disciples register, but she feared that going there, she might damage her foundation, delaying her advancement, which could lead to a vicious cycle.

Recently there were no leads, so she mulled over whether to try her luck in the Insect World, but then her master acquired a task for her, telling her to deliver ten supreme spirit stones to the lower realm and ask Mountain Master Feng to help deduce a strategy.

True Immortal Ji Niang had heard of White Pebble Beach, knowing it’s renowned for deducing strategies, but since the Green Lotus Sect had no assignments in Kunhao and Mountain Master Feng was known to be elusive, often not at White Pebble Beach, she didn’t bother waiting there pointlessly—after all, it would be somewhat embarrassing.

This time, coming to deliver something provided a reason, and she estimated she would meet someone.

After meeting Feng Jun, and noticing two enigmatic seniors beside him, she was considering how to broach the subject when Mountain Master Feng actually inquired directly—this was only a Mid-Stage Golden Core, truly deserving of being a deduction expert.

So she took advantage of the situation, raised her hand respectfully, and spoke in a deep voice, "I ask Mountain Master Feng for help with the deduction, related fees will naturally be offered."

"Tsk," Feng Jun smacked his lips, "No need to discuss fees, delivering an item is like me giving you an opportunity, however, Kunhao is truly difficult to deduce for advancing to the Nascent Soul Seventh Layer... let’s take a trip to the Ice Plate."

While he spoke, he pocketed the box containing the supreme spirit stones.
