Chapter 2659: Chapter 2651: This Technique Is Quite Peculiar

"Focus point?" Cang Jing was momentarily stunned upon hearing that, then reflexively refuted, "Putting up a facade... Would Mountain Master Feng treat you like an outsider?"

Of course, it’s not that Feng Jun is treating me as an outsider, Yi Jue initially wanted to get angry but, pondering a moment for the friend’s rightful stance, calmed down and answered profoundly, "With two True Lords involved, and you insist on joining... is it easy to get involved in this?"

"Alright, you’ve worked hard," Cang Jing spoke with a cheerful smile, "But what should I focus on?"

"I don’t know either," Yi Jue honestly didn’t know; she was aware of the mention of "three tasks," but had no clue what the tasks involved. "Just keep a keen watch... With Mountain Master Feng employing such a secret technique, what he’s seeking can’t be simple, can it?"

Feng Jun glanced at the two and then turned his head to look at the four peaks in the distance, "It’s started."

Cang Jing and Yi Jue turned to look as well, but the two maintained frequent exchanges of Divine Sense, and if there was some milk tea and popcorn, it would almost feel like watching a 3D movie.

Feng Jun was continuously communicating with the Yin Spirits, "Think carefully, could there be a Soul Split here as well?"

"No!" The Yin Spirit Bigwig arranged its logic and answered seriously, "If there were Soul Splits, would I be unaware?"

"Then why is every secret treasure like this?" Feng Jun acknowledged its reasoning, but isn’t there a lack of truth backing it? "Could it be a matter of personal quality?"

"You’re the one with a personal quality issue!" The Yin Spirit shouted angrily—in its sea of consciousness, "I’ve said... I’m not human!"

"Then it’s the plants that are at fault," Feng Jun continued to ridicule it, "You’re always related to plants, let me guess... Winter Plum?"

He remembered that at Lingmu Sect’s secondary mountain gate, a tree spirit asked if the Bigwig was from the "Han Family."

So Winter Plum... wouldn’t that be nice? It’s beautiful and fragrant, and has high artistic value, "Knowing it’s not snow, by its subtle fragrance."

"You’re the Winter Plum; your whole family are Winter Plums," the Bigwig obviously exploded, "How dare you say I’m a tree? That kind of wooden-headed thing, could that be me?"

"It’s okay if my family are all Winter Plums, after all, they are among the Three Friends of Winter and one of the Four Gentleman," Feng Jun casually replied; he really didn’t see anything bad about Winter Plums, "They can live long, certainly better than herbaceous plants."

"Did herbaceous plants eat the rice from your house?" The Bigwig retorted even more, but in the next moment, its attention shifted, "Hey, those two Yin Spirits... couldn’t hold on? Truly superficial."

The course of the battle was far more relaxed than everyone imagined. Qian Zhong and Xuanyuan Buzhi took about ten minutes to slay two Emergence Stage Yin Spirits, while handling two to three dozen Nascent Soul Yin Spirits with even greater ease.

Roughly within fifteen minutes, a vast Yin Realm covering a million miles radius was completely raided by two True Lords.

In fact, given the capability of True Lords, it’s no challenge to obliterate this Domain instantly, so achieving this result really isn’t worth mentioning, but considering the restriction on output strength, this process is hard to evaluate.

As the two True Lords emerged, the Yin Realm behind them had not entirely dissipated; there were plenty of Emergence Stage Yin Spirits and occasionally some Golden Core Stage Yin Spirits, yet due to the presence of a suppression aura, these Yin Spirits simply dared not approach the True Lords.

As the two True Lords came out, they smiled at Feng Jun, "Mission accomplished."

Feng Jun glanced at the Yin Realm behind them, his mouth quirking a bit, "You’re calling this... mission accomplished?"

"A bit rushed, it can be managed later," surprisingly, the speaker was the always composed Qian Zhong, "That small Yin Realm can’t stir much trouble, no need to pay it much attention."

Feng Jun was momentarily overwhelmed with mixed emotions; his feelings were truly indescribable.

Was Qian Zhong wrong in what she said? She wasn’t wrong at all. As a high-tier combat force that dealt with the opponent’s top-tier combat forces, the remaining small fry naturally should be dealt with by one’s own minor cultivators and didn’t warrant her attention.

However, Feng Jun couldn’t help but recall that during his first visit to Qiuchen Market, he was immediately drafted to fend off Spirit Beast invasions.

Back then, he was merely in the Qi-Refining Realm, and whether it was mid-stage or high-stage Qi Refining, he couldn’t remember, but comrades around him kept dying one by one. At that time, he truly wished—having a high-ranking cultivator by his side so that his comrades wouldn’t perish.

They were vivid, living lives.

After the war, he finally saw the high-ranking cultivator—far away during the battle, but close when sorting post-battle gains.

Some high-ranking cultivators even attempted to forcefully buy his spoils, although they didn’t succeed, they did issue threats.

This made him feel extremely uncomfortable; when we were risking our lives, where were you? And when looting spoils, you emerge?

However, at that time, he also had a general understanding—this was how those in power acted, as long as they didn’t overdo it, he accepted it.

But when it came time for him to be in a position of authority, he was a bit reluctant to accept this view. Although he felt it was normal, he thought— I don’t want to become who I hate.

The remaining bit of the Yin Realm... is it really insignificant? How many Emergence Stage and Qi Refinement Realm cultivators’ lives would it take to fill it, possibly even Golden Core Stage?

But for the Divine Spirit Big Boss, this really solves the problem, the rest is left to the minor cultivators.

Feng Jun thought for a moment and finally spoke in a deep voice, "I think... it’s better to destroy this Yin Realm."

"Wait until you find the Yin Origin," Yi Jue, aware of his ’soft-hearted’ nature, wasn’t too surprised, but simply offered a reasonable suggestion, "Otherwise Yin Spirits will be born again."

However, Qian Zhong’s words are much more ruthless, and although she is helping Feng Jun with his task, she has a true cultivator’s persistence, "These Yin Spirits are just right for training minor cultivators... Without actual combat, minor cultivators cannot grow."

Am I not going to sell you the Virtual Combat System? Feng Jun really wanted to retort, but then he thought: My behavior is still a bit like the Holy Mother, every civilization has its inherent worldview, wanting to change them clearly exceeds one’s capabilities.

He pouted: I still ended up becoming the way I hate, but... I did try my best.

So he nodded, "Then let’s go in and take a look, Emergence Stage Yin Spirits... any gains?"

Xuanyuan Buqi had just removed the gold needle from his body. Though with the gold needle on, he could still exert the power of the peak Emergence Stage, being accustomed to mobilizing the power of the Divine Spirit at any time, he always felt this suppression was uncomfortable.

Upon hearing these words, he nodded, "There are Emergence Stage Yin Spirit Beads... Do you want them?"

Yin Spirit Beads... Feng Jun couldn’t help but think of the Danxia Heaven Secret Realm, then shook his head, casting that feeling aside, how could he have become so nostalgic without being old? "No, keep them; they are your spoils."

In the past, whenever he saw treasures, he wanted to keep them, but now he realized that treasures weren’t necessarily better in quantity; what suited oneself was more important. Of course, Luohua should increase its foundation, but it was unnecessary to use this method.

The Big Boss couldn’t help but feel a little impatient, "Emergence Stage Yin Spirit Beads would also be somewhat useful for me."

Feng Jun didn’t retort, he only suggested lightly, "Look at their performance."

Sure enough, Xuanyuan Buqi looked at Qian Zhong, who just took out the gold needle.

After taking out the gold needle, she slightly adjusted her breath and looked at Feng Jun, "I also have a Yin Spirit Bead here, you really don’t want it?"

"Keep them for your own use," Feng Jun replied solemnly, "Using them to enhance the clan’s foundation is also good."

Both true cultivators certainly knew that Yin Spirit Beads are good things, and indeed useful for the clan... but are they really that rare?

Judging from their reaction just now, it’s evident that due to concerns over Domain Karma, both true cultivators planned to give up attacking Yin Spirits— things are good and easily obtainable, but there’s no need to take risks for them.

In other words, these things aren’t good enough for them to struggle by any means, so... that’s just how it is.

Feng Jun not wanting Yin Spirit Beads is a normal reaction; true cultivators’ spoils are not easy to snatch. But next, they face a problem: since the spoils belong to them, how should the "minor techniques" they’ve learned be reckoned?

Initially, Qian Zhong and Xuanyuan Buqi didn’t think minor techniques would be that important; even after viewing it, they were a bit surprised but didn’t take it too seriously. There were some insightful learnings applicable to other contexts, but only passable.

After using the Emergence Stage Yin Spirits in combat themselves, although the battle ended in just ten minutes, their feelings were quite different—this minor technique is indeed good and worth promoting in the clan.

But to promote it involves Feng Jun, what if he finds out that the Technique has been disseminated?

For most external cultivation techniques, clan practitioners don’t respect originality much— not being fundamental cultivation techniques means it doesn’t matter.

Though they don’t blatantly use them like sect practitioners after obtaining them, using them secretly is unproblematic, and over time they’ll evolve some cultivation techniques, claiming them as their own, denying others when accused.

However, dealing with Feng Jun, this approach is inappropriate, even if this is just a minor technique easily modified.

At the end of the day, they must consider the consequences of offending Feng Jun. If he discovers that they’ve secretly spread it, there’s no need for him to impose any punishment, mere termination of cooperation is enough for both clans to suffer greatly.

Throughout Tianqin’s power, seven gates plus eighteen sects and clan practitioners can collaborate with Feng Jun in too many areas, shared energy, deduction, venturing into the void, long-distance transport, Virtual Combat System... Many cooperations are long-term.

Indeed, there’s a constraint called a long-term mechanism; if for a small petty gain they offend this person, resulting in everyone else having access while only their own originally well-functioning cooperation gets cut off halfway... isn’t that seeking self-destruction?

So both wanted to definitely get this technique and earn the right to promote it, but Feng Jun’s refusal to accept the Emergence Stage Yin Spirit Beads left the two with indescribable feelings—keeping the Yin Spirit Beads is indeed good, but we desire more!
