Chapter 2697: Chapter 2689: Making Trouble Relentlessly

"Curved Transformation Channel..." Elder Dianjing muttered a sentence, then reacted to the last line, turned to look at Feng Jun.

But his eyes were still blank, clearly contemplating something, and he asked instinctively, "Are you scolding me?"

This is simply... so annoying! Feng Jun watched his lost soul state, feeling both exasperated and amused, yet he had to respond seriously, "Since this is an exchange, there’s no hierarchy in learning — the accomplished are the teachers. Your thought process isn’t working, why shouldn’t I scold you?"

"Don’t interrupt, I’m considering," Elder Dianjing waved his hand impatiently and thoughtfully spoke, "Increasing the area should use a honeycomb structure, right? What’s the explanation for this Curved Transformation Channel though?"

"Is this the attitude when seeking advice?" Feng Jun angrily shook his hand, stood up, and walked away.

He knew the other was unintentional, but... unintentional killing is still killing; doing this repeatedly is truly unbearable.

Elder Dianjing was still daydreaming, "Right, the Curved Transformation Channel truly can... But this point... Where’s the person?"

The group of cultivators looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Finally, Elder Cang Jing softly coughed, "Elder Dianjing, allow me to speak a fair word. Indeed, you are a genius..."

Feng Jun returned to the manor, thinking about the earlier scene, still feeling both amused and annoyed. There was certainly no revenge intent, just purely overwhelmed — in such circumstances, it’s truly impossible to communicate, just let that guy discuss with Yi Jue.

Elder Dianjing indeed had ambition too; people left? Quite a temper... Then I’ll ponder myself!

Feng Jun waited for a while, realizing the other had no intention to apologize, so he simply started deducing the next magical treasure.

Jing Ling watched the scene, feeling a bit schadenfreude. It was actually curious about some of Feng Jun’s theories, but ultimately, it wasn’t that interested in formations, so it didn’t rush to ask questions.

Feng Jun deduced until dusk, when Yi Jue returned to the manor. As he was changing his dead mobile phone, she spoke up, "Elder Dianjing regrets his rashness and hopes to meet and apologize to you."

"Apologize?" Feng Jun blinked his eyes, questioning in confusion, "Weren’t you two discussing? Still something incomprehensible?"

He also knew Elder Dianjing felt his temper was strong, discussing unclear parts with Yi Jue, hence he didn’t pay attention. Now that the guy came to apologize, there must be something unclear — otherwise, don’t expect such a person to apologize.

"Indeed there are," Yi Jue nodded frankly; she was also one to ask when unclear, but at least had a much better temper, "Mainly after you left, some changes brought back, it’s something... I really don’t quite understand."

"I’ll explain it to you," Feng Jun stated without hesitation, paused, then spoke again, "As for that person... let it be."

Elder Dianjing waited outside the manor, simultaneously looking at the blueprint and pondering, sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding, occasionally unable to resist mumbling a sentence, "At this level of incompetence, and they still don’t want me to talk?"

As for using divine sense to spy on the manor? With that faintly detectable powerful aura, he wasn’t arrogant enough to seek death intentionally.

A few disciples accompanying him on the Formation Path looked at each other: our elder, everything is good, just too capricious!

No one knew how long it took, Elder Dianjing looked up at the sky in astonishment and spoke, "It’s already this dark?"

"Only two or three incense sticks’ time," one True Immortal replied solemnly, "But it seems Feng Mountain Master won’t be coming out."

The situation was clear, Yi Jue understood Feng Jun’s theories quite well and had done plenty of explanations, while their elder had irritated Feng Jun, unlikely to hold grudges, but meeting was probably impossible, better to teach her, let her convey the ideas.

Elder Dianjing raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, then slightly shook his head, his eyes explicitly showing disdain, but thankfully, he ultimately didn’t speak brashly again.

A few disciples from the Formation Path were also a bit helpless; frankly, they didn’t hate Feng Jun at all, although the opponent was only Mid-Stage Golden Core, his strength and influence, and being on his own turf, facing frequent offenses from senior cultivators, getting slightly upset is permissible?

But they didn’t dwell on it long, Yi Jue walked out of the manor, "Thank you, Daoist friend Dianjing, for waiting so long. I’ve already learned the general ideas from Mountain Master Feng; we can continue the discussions."

Even someone as ignorant of worldly affairs as she was somewhat fed up with the other’s temper; there were quite a few verbal exchanges just now, but she really didn’t mind, just changed the other’s address from "Senior Elder Dianjing" to "Daoist Friend."

However, Elder Dianjing insisted, "Didn’t I agree to apologize to him? I’m such a grown man, can’t go back on my word."

"You gotta be kidding," Yi Jue spoke with a sharp tone, knowing full well that Elder Dianjing wouldn’t mind her phrasing, "You apologize one moment and forget the next; he’s got a bad temper too. You two... better not meet at all."

"Ah, this whole situation is messed up," Elder Dianjing slapped his thigh, visibly frustrated on his face, "I wanted to ask him to help divine an opportunity for Out-of-Body experience."

"An opportunity for Out-of-Body... Are you serious?" Yi Jue looked at him in shock, thinking about asking Feng Jun to perform divination like this, you must have some nerve.

"Of course I’m serious," Elder Dianjing looked at her strangely, and upon seeing her surprise, he thought of other factors, "I’m not holding high hopes, just out of options... Fellow Daoists need not worry, failing the divination wouldn’t matter."

You’re really... completely unaware! Yi Jue was almost at a loss for words but she didn’t have the habit of holding back, so she straightforwardly said, "He can actually divine the Out-of-Body experience, but you’ve offended him like this, and still have this thought?"

Elder Dianjing appeared indifferent, naturally stating, "So what? At worst, he’ll scold me. As long as he’s somewhat reasonable, I wouldn’t care... except for things related to formations."

Yi Jue was left speechless, eventually giving a thumbs up, "Pure-hearted, respect!"

"What kind of pure-heartedness is this?" Feng Jun’s voice came from inside the manor, he couldn’t hold back, "It’s just arrogance, insisting on doing things by your own rules, centered around yourself; if something fits your standards, then you think it’s suitable."

Elder Dianjing blinked and nodded, "Exactly, everyone should have their own standards. What’s wrong with that?"

"Having standards is certainly good, as there would be guidelines and principles in conduct, but those are merely your own standards," Feng Jun’s voice continued from the manor, "Forcing your standards on others and not allowing recognition for those you reject—this is wrong."

"That’s why I said you’re very self-centered. But I’m puzzled; why should others recognize your standards? Who do you think you are... a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao?"

These words were too offensive and rude, causing Elder Dianjing to frown slightly—feeling a bit uncomfortable; however, he ultimately nodded, "There’s some truth to it... Go on."

"Pfft, just some truth?" Feng Jun expressed disdain, "You’re so grown-up yet unwilling to face reality."

However, just as everyone thought this was a bit too rude, Feng Jun changed his tone, "Although I don’t recognize your standards, since you can barely hold onto them, how about I perform a divination for you? By the way... my fee isn’t cheap."

In reality, his outburst just now was itself a kind of test. Many unsociable technical personnel adhere truly to their principles, while some only pretend—there’s no shortage of double-standard fiends anywhere!

Feng Jun truly couldn’t stand communicating with Elder Dianjing; however, performing this person’s Out-of-Body divination is not entirely objectionable, provided the person can, as promised, endure others’ offensiveness.

Some hold high positions, justifiably reprimanding others while claiming they can handle criticism; yet, as soon as someone lower speaks up, they fly into rage: "Who do you think you are to criticize me?"

Feng Jun wasn’t sure which type Elder Dianjing belonged to, so during the reprimand, he tested—if you can tolerate it, I wouldn’t mind lending a hand; if not... this person is absolutely unapproachable.

Fortunately, Elder Dianjing’s reaction barely qualified; being able to say "Go on" at least signaled no need for a fallout.

While he was contemplating, Elder Dianjing had already walked far with Yi Jue, starting a discussion on formation modification.

This discussion lasted for seven days and nights. Feng Jun’s magical treasure divination was completed, but he couldn’t find anyone to help spread Spirit Stones.

He was hesitant to call Yi Jue for this, but luckily, aside from Zhang Caixin, Liu Yiyi, and Yun Buyao at White Pebble Beach, there was a new addition - Yu Qingzhu, who himself had advanced to the Golden Core Sixth Layer. Everyone shared the workload, unlike the exhausting first time.

This time’s magical treasure was crafted for the Jiang Family, among the Three Hundred Secret Realm Families, ranking relatively high, with top specifications.

Interestingly, only two previously crafted magical treasures belonged to sects—Spirit Plant Dao and Taixu Sect—while all others belonged to clan forces. Even though the Seven Gates Eighteen Paths could overshadow clan forces, their reaction to such matters was much slower.

Feng Jun was uninterested in probing into Yi Jue and Elder Dianjing’s communication, but the Jiang Family indeed wanted to cozy up to Feng Jun, proactively informing him that discussions between Formation Path and Spirit Plant Dao lasted long, with arguing overheard, suggesting communication wasn’t smooth.

Feng Jun thought and asked, "Did it get physical?"

"Certainly not," laughed the True Immortal from the Jiang Family, "but the arguments were quite intense, reportedly even Elder Cang Jing couldn’t stop them."

He had reasons to chuckle; sect practitioners arguing, clan practitioners watching... it was amusing.

At this moment, a group of cultivators approached, all from the Luo Family, "Mountain Master Feng, bother to craft a magical treasure for my family too!"
