Chapter 2699 -2691: Indifferent Yi Jue

Luo Tianxiang was quite indifferent to the old ancestor’s complaints, but he wasn’t qualified to oppose, nor did he have the courage to alter it, so he just brought it here.

Now Feng Jun has asked, and his purpose is very clear, so he can’t assume the other party is really naive enough to believe such words.

Therefore, what the old ancestor said at this moment is no longer important; what’s important is that he needs to gain Feng Jun’s trust and understanding.

So he directly chose to sell out the old ancestor, “The Seventeenth Ancestor… he came through hard times, back then it was extremely difficult to endure, so that generation of elders speaks a bit exaggeratively, unlike us young people. Mountain Master Feng, please understand.”

For the clan’s disciples, selling out the old ancestor is not inconceivable, as long as it’s not a genuine betrayal, and it can bring benefits to the clan, even the old ancestor would support it—being scolded if it brings benefits? Then go ahead and scold away,

You, at Nascent Soul Eighth Layer, call yourself… a young person? Feng Jun looked at him expressionlessly, secretly ridiculing him in his heart.

Seeing no reaction from him, Luo Tianxiang could only continue, “In the family, there are still Spirit Stones, though not many, but they do exist… To be honest, for the Luo Family, one top-tier Magical Treasure is sufficient, and even one standard one can improve the status.”

So the Luo Family has quite a few thoughts, disciples entering the Virtual Combat Magical Treasure for trials also have to be tiered, the higher tier means all eight hundred disciples can be observed, allowing for specific guidance.

The lower tier can only observe one-tenth of the disciples—actually, some disciples can rotate and still be observed, but the experience is a bit lacking, and sounds not very good either.

However, having said that, even so, being able to participate in virtual combat, even without guidance, can still increase real combat experience, right?

Moreover, tiering can better stimulate the advancement of Luo Family disciples. Really, is it not good?

After listening to Luo Tianxiang’s explanation, Feng Jun unconsciously thought that this explanation was really reasonable to the point of being overly reasonable.

This also shows that the Luo Family chose the most suitable plan for their clan, gaining reputation as well as actual benefits. Indeed, one cannot underestimate any clan with a long heritage.

However, Feng Jun will not rashly choose to fully believe—what if there are other underlying issues?

The Tianqin Plane emphasizes trust and righteousness. Recklessly doubting others is not only inappropriate but also disrespectful, yet he still said, “This is just verbal assurances, please come into the manor to operate… I mean no disrespect to True Immortal Tianxiang, but the Luo Family indeed erred first.”

There’s nothing wrong with it… I know what I did was inappropriate, but your family was wrong first, wasn’t it?

What else could Luo Tianxiang say? He could only smile wryly; the Luo Family’s various branches negotiated to this result, can one blame Feng Jun?

He was just about to respond when an intention suddenly descended, “Mountain Master Feng, are you going to deduce two Magical Treasures next?”

In the range of Jing Ling’s divine sense, only Immortal Yi Jue could operate like this, there would be no outsiders.

The logic of Jing Ling is simple. During the refining of Magical Treasures, she helped scatter Spirit Stones so many times that even if Jing Ling had a temper, it couldn’t possibly do anything to her—she’s a tool, my family’s.

“Hmm?” Feng Jun was a bit surprised. He personally didn’t want to meddle in the exchange between those two, Elder Dianjing always felt too unsettling, and he really didn’t want to provoke any further, “Aren’t you two deducing a formation?”

“It will be finished in a day or two,” Yi Jue replied straightforwardly, “It will take at least seven or eight days to deduce your two formations, wait for me a bit, I want to discuss many details with you.”

Feng Jun knew what details she wanted to discuss. Strictly speaking, the transformation scheme for the formation, although it borrowed theories from the Spirit Plant path, actually incorporated a lot of Earth Realm principles—strictly speaking, Jing Ling is also from the Earth Realm plane.

It even includes some concepts from the Human Alliance of the Insect World—this is really not surprising since Feng Jun’s designed Virtual Combat Magical Treasure had many ideas originating from the Human Alliance… The key is the Alliance’s technological level, which exceeds Earth’s.

So Yi Jue and Dianjing not being able to fathom the confusion is quite inevitable.

It’s not that Feng Jun is stingy and reluctant to explain clearly; it’s just that the differences between civilizations really can’t be clarified in a few words. The development directions of different civilizations can lead to obvious differences in ideas—you won’t have any clues even if you try to guess.

Thus, he simply stated, “If you want to discuss, you should come to me, and I won’t stop you; you don’t need to bring that one.”

Jing Ling’s divine intent cooperatively shivered twice: that’s right, I prove he’s telling the truth.

Yi Jue sensed the hint from its divine sense, and with a Blink, arrived at the manor gate, “Then shall we discuss now?”

“You need to wait a bit,” Feng Jun rubbed his forehead, “I have some matters to discuss with this True Immortal senior from the Luo Family.”

After all, she’s one of our own people, so he spoke to Yi Jue without much politeness, getting straight to the point was fine.

But Luo Tianxiang was seriously overwhelmed upon seeing Yi Jue, and he chuckled awkwardly, “It’s fine, you go ahead with your matters first.”

“Luo Tianxiang of the Luo Family, is it?” Yi Jue glanced at him indifferently, her tone lacking any respect—although none was required, her memory is indeed frightening, “Descendant of the Seventeenth True Sage’s brother, what business do you have?”

“Well…” Luo Tianxiang felt a chill confronting her directly, having only met Yi Jue once before. She was then the focal point of many, and despite being only two cultivation levels beneath her, he actually lagged much further behind, scarcely better than any ordinary person.

A true genius indeed. He forced himself to banish the distractions in his mind and managed a feeble smile. “Immortal Yi Jue’s memory truly amazes me. I have a small matter to discuss, you may deal with it first.”

“I’ve changed my mind,” Feng Jun suddenly spoke. “Let her be our witness, what do you say, True Immortal Tianxiang?”

He actually did not suspect the Luo Family of deceit, but multiple witnesses certainly wouldn’t hurt given the involvement of several Spirit Stones.

Does it really matter whether I speak? Luo Tianxiang nodded, responding gloomily, “Alright… fine.”

Feng Jun ignored his reaction entirely—your family’s underhanded tricks nearly trapped me, and you expect me to remain calm?

So he led the two inside but only addressed Yi Jue, “I hear you two had quite the discussion, but were you even aware of my presence?”

This was no false modesty; he was well aware of how focused Yi Jue could become—completely devoid of distraction.

“It wasn’t me who noticed you,” Yi Jue felt a bit awkward, yet she wouldn’t lie, hesitating for a moment before saying, “Senior Qian Zhong sent a Divine Sense message to me, saying you had emerged, and the Luo Family might try to deceive you.”

Senior Qian Zhong… what nonsense is that? Luo Tianxiang truly didn’t know how to react: my Luo Family intending to deceive Feng Jun—who would dare say such a thing?

Yet a moment later, he shivered—someone Yi Jue called senior must at least be at the True Sage level.

Luo Tianxiang actually knew, at White Pebble Beach there was at least a Divine Spirit True Lord present—the Xuanyuan Family’s Lord of Craft, who hasn’t heard of them?

Thus his reverence for Feng Jun stemmed genuinely from his soul, though he truly hadn’t imagined a Great Sage being here as well.

Feng Jun, however, was not surprised by this news at all. He nodded slightly, “Senior Qian Zhong… indeed skilled at peering into others’ secrets.”

Qian Zhong’s habit was really troublesome, seemingly a carefree Divine Spirit True Lord, untroubled by anything, yet… far too curious. Feng Jun had already penalized her five Spirit Stones, but the bad behavior persisted, so he harbored resentment.

“I’m not fond of that trait either,” Yi Jue spoke candidly, similar to Elder Dianjing, but the difference was Elder Dianjing rebuked people casually, not caring about appropriateness—this aspect certainly fell short of Yi Jue.

Then Yi Jue continued, “But if the Luo Family intends to scheme against you, I must inquire, at least give you a heads-up.”

A direct woman… straightforward indeed; she wasn’t just a homebody, but emphatically candid!

“My family truly has no intention of scheming against Mountain Master Feng,” Luo Tianxiang couldn’t endure any longer—a casual comment would be tolerable, but Yi Jue was Feng Jun’s prospective Dao companion—unbearable. “We’re about to open the sealed Spirit Stones, and request Immortal to be our witness.”

The three of them then proceeded to the place for crafting magical treasures, where Luo Tianxiang produced a sealed box, adorned with sealing talismans, which he couldn’t tamper with. Feng Jun activated the formation barrier, allowing Luo Tianxiang to personally open the box.

Inside were fifteen Spirit Stones and one piece of Obsidian. He produced another piece of Obsidian, “The Seventeenth Ancestor prepared a total of two pieces of Obsidian; I couldn’t possibly create one on the spur of the moment.”

“Fifteen Spirit Stones…” Yi Jue raised an eyebrow, having already guessed something, for the reason being that Feng Jun’s magical treasures were all premium twenty Spirit Stone configurations, even with two discounts, they reduced to ten Spirit Stones, “May I take a look at the Obsidian?”

Of course, Luo Tianxiang didn’t want her to see—it was too embarrassing, but having already invited her to witness, this request was something he couldn’t refuse, reluctantly he spread his hands, “Please go ahead, hoping the Immortal will keep it confidential.”

Yi Jue picked up the Obsidian and scanned it. Clearly, she was initially taken aback, then revealed a subtly bemused expression, yet soon after, she shifted to a look of nonchalance.

She placed the Obsidian down, glanced at Luo Tianxiang, shook her head expressionlessly, “That’s truly… very well, I’ve witnessed it.”

The witness from a cultivator doesn’t involve extensive formalities, especially for those with high cultivation levels, a single sentence suffices. Yi Jue didn’t even bother to take out the record stone, feeling the matter… truly tedious, unworthy of wasting time.

She was not amused; rather, she found it boring, even somewhat dismissive of the Luo Family, though she didn’t even have the interest to comment.

This disregard made Luo Tianxiang feel very uncomfortable—if only you’d mock me a few times, it would be better than this attitude.

So he couldn’t help but explain, “Things are not as you think, the Luo Family has underlying reasons.”

“I understand,” Yi Jue nodded expressionlessly, “But I’m merely a witness, not interested in knowing the reasons.”
