Chapter 2700 - 2692: Completion (First Update Celebrating Patron "Fat Cow")

Chapter 2700: Chapter 2692: Completion (First Update Celebrating Patron "Fat Cow")

When Yi Jue showed that she had no interest in knowing more, Luo Tianxiang felt she was extremely annoying.

The greatest insult is indeed being ignored, that suffocating feeling could nearly drive one insane.

But thankfully, he is at Nascent Soul High Stage after all, and quickly adjusted his mood: These socially clueless ones are not limited to Yi Jue alone; Feng Jun must feel the same upon meeting Elder Dianjing, right?

Feng Jun never meets Elder Dianjing; after sending off Luo Tianxiang, he explained and analyzed formations with Yi Jue in the manor.

The perfection of a new formation actually requires a long time; even the most common Spirit Gathering Array supposedly took over a thousand years from its birth to fully integrate, and subsequent improvements took tens of thousands of years.

This is because formations did not exist before, everything had to be explored, and all formation knowledge was accumulated from scratch.

Formation knowledge is now relatively abundant, but developing a new formation still requires counting in units of at least ten years.

For the Tianqin Plane, prior energy conversion formations did exist; fundamentally speaking, the Spirit Restoration Array is energy conversion, and defensive formations also count as energy conversion, but this time’s Energy Conversion Array can still be said to be a brand new formation.

The key point is that energy stone, originally, is a substance not allowed to exist by the rules of this plane.

Golden Core Female Cultivator was able to develop a usable new formation in about two years, she is undoubtedly a genius, while what Feng Jun and others are doing is even crazier; they actually want to develop a new formation in monthly units.

However, it sounds crazy; when considering the design camp, it seems not too exaggerated.

Three big bosses, Yin Spirits, Jing Ling, and Guardian, participated, one of the historical geniuses of the Formation Path, Elder Dianjing, joined, Yi Jue brought in the knowledge of Spirit Plant Path, and Feng Jun, who possesses data matching capabilities and insight in the age of information explosion, joined.

In the process of discussing with Yi Jue, he is also learning about formation design means, not intending to steal the method—he can’t afford that reputation, the key is to understand related knowledge, as design ideas will have various conflicts.

With some knowledge, he understood why Elder Dianjing would crazily criticize his formation methods, but he didn’t mind—it’s okay if you don’t understand these, wishing to learn my ideas, just listen attentively isn’t that good?

Professional matters should be left to professionals, this is the most basic common sense, right?

He discussed with Yi Jue for an entire night, without learning more formation knowledge, just discussing design ideas, and when the day broke, the design ideas and the handling of various details fully crystallized, this counted as a wrap-up.

As for how to implement it specifically? He is lazy to manage—it doesn’t fall within his scope of business.

Unlike Feng Jun, Yi Jue recently saw a rapid advancement in formation knowledge; in her words: "I have imparted a lot of stuff from Spirit Plant Path, of course, I must learn some knowledge of the Formation Path, or else I would lose greatly."

Moreover, Elder Dianjing’s attitude did not really affect her much; firstly, she does not care about the context when the other speaks, secondly, if she feels uncomfortable, she just directly refutes it, the tone won’t be very nice either.

Anyway, both are elders with equivalent status, even if they argued fervently, they wouldn’t physically fight, in Feng Jun’s case, that wouldn’t work.

Yi Jue was quite satisfied with the ideas sorted by the two, and based on her newly learned formation knowledge analysis, she believed within two days, this idea could be finalized—though she herself certainly has no such ability, Elder Dianjing’s professionalism is beyond doubt.

She hopes Feng Jun can wait for two days to finalize this idea before refining artifacts.

Feng Jun naturally agrees to this request, for him, in fact, during the integration of magical treasure components, work can be paused; as long as he makes proper arrangements in advance, he can manage it.

Two days later, Yi Jue indeed brought the final plan, Feng Jun as usual didn’t ponder the formation design, but deduced the solution, ultimately indicating... they can finalize the ultimate design.

Benefiting from multiple collaborations, the conversion rate of the energy stone increased by two percent, theoretically reaching twenty-nine percent.

Of course, how much the product can achieve in reality after being made is another matter altogether.

While Yi Jue breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn’t help complaining a bit, "Running back and forth between you two, everything said must be repeated twice, it’s really tiresome... When it comes time for mass production, I must strive harder for a good share."

Feng Jun wasn’t very surprised by these words, but couldn’t help asking, "Haven’t you discussed the shares all along?"

Yi Jue still retained her brazen demeanor, "The product hasn’t been made yet; what shares are we even talking about?"

She has always been like this, not greatly interested in Spirit Stones, but as a high-end technical talent, she has never lacked Spirit Stones—after completing certain tasks, others dare not not give her Spirit Stones.

It was because she acted as the mediator this time, and felt a bit frustrated with the message delivery, that she mentioned the profit sharing.

Feng Jun knew what kind of person she was; he didn’t have any expectations for the profit sharing, so he nodded, "Alright, you can give him the plan. Do you want to participate in the final design or help me in refining the magical treasure?"

"The final design, he won’t let me be involved throughout," Yi Jue said lightly. As a sect elder, she was very clear about the sect’s boundaries, "Spend another day to discuss the details with him carefully."

"That will be in time," Feng Jun nodded, "I’ve extrapolated the first set of magical treasure, and it will probably take another two days."

There’s no way around it; to sprinkle the spirit stones while refining magical treasures still required Yi Jue’s assistance. One was that her cultivation level was high, making it less tiring to operate, and secondly, Feng Jun could free up his hands to extrapolate the second magical treasure.

Without Yi Jue’s help, Feng Jun would have to take charge of both steps, extending the time for refining the magical treasure by at least a day and a half.

It was not impossible to ask others for help in sprinkling the spirit stones, but both he and Jing Ling believed it was unwise to involve too many people.

Two days later, Yi Jue arrived as promised to start the magical treasure refining, while Feng Jun began extrapolating the set of magical treasure touted as the "premium build"—no choice, the Luo Family’s requirements were a bit peculiar, but considering Su Shi’s involvement, he had to accept it.

Once two sets of magical treasures were refined, eight days had passed, and the Luo Family accepted the magical treasures, leaving a set of premium build for "performance testing" by White Pebble Beach, while the standard set was quietly sent back to the small realm.

The Luo Family’s testing did not stir much reaction; in fact, several virtual combat systems were being tested around White Pebble Beach, which had already become another phenomenon-level event in Kunhao.

The forces refining magical treasures typically wouldn’t take them directly back, as they were items valued at twenty extreme spirits, they surely had to be satisfactorily tested before departure; and the demonstration here holds another layer of meaning—my house also possesses virtual combat magical treasures.

Even the Taixu Sect’s customized magical treasures were tested beside White Pebble Beach for a month before being sent back to the sect. During this process, not only did the disciples of the Taixu Sect from the lower realm benefit, but even their Taiqing disciples stationed in Kunhao could line up and register.

Of course, not only the Taiqing disciples benefited, as the news of testing virtual combat magical treasures spread from here, cultivators from surrounding areas were constantly arriving, hoping for a chance to enter as well.

It’s not impossible; not every force can send thousands of disciples down to focus on testing their own magical treasures like the Xuanyuan Family. Generally, it’s about a thousand or eight hundred people—the cost of sending disciples down is a factor.

Thus, some forces’ test quotas are not full, giving Kunhao’s native cultivators an opportunity; even if this opportunity comes at a high price, having a chance is better than none, and even now, purchasing a test slot has become a trend.

However, while these Kunhao cultivators get a chance, they also have to pay the price of their own cards being viewed by others—it’s top-level magical treasures; if you don’t want others to see, then don’t register.

On the flipside, having one’s cards viewed isn’t necessarily a bad thing; some cultivators have high potential, and if other forces take a liking to them, they may take the initiative to recruit them.

For example, when the Jiang Family was testing magical treasures, some loose cultivators registered, and one Dust Period loose cultivator caught the eye of the Jinwu Sect. Jinwu couldn’t directly take him away, so they instructed the Crimson Pheonix Sect to bring him in.

For this loose cultivator, not only did he improve his combat skills, but he also climbed high branches through this opportunity; otherwise, there’s basically no chance he would be chosen by the Crimson Pheonix Sect—setting aside personal perceptions, the Crimson Pheonix mainly recruits female cultivators, whereas he is male.

It was only because Jinwu saw potential and promised him entry into the sect after the Golden Core stage that the Crimson Pheonix took him in.

This example operated quite typically, with a detail being that Jinwu’s cultivator, a sect disciple, even went to witness near the Jiang Family’s magical treasure.

In fact, this is one of the reasons many cultivators around came; even if not able to register, watching is alright. Seeing how others battle alien races, one can learn a thing or two, and perhaps gain some insight.

As for the Jiang Family, outsiders were certainly not permitted to watch their own family’s disciples compete; other registrants have little to do with the Jiang Family, so collecting some fees from the spectating cultivators would permit them to view openly—the amount of fee is irrelevant; having some is better than none.

Therefore, now, cultivators rushing from various parts of Kunhao have exceeded two hundred thousand—the number of cultivators looking for opportunities really cannot be underestimated. Given such a large market, some businessmen naturally are drawn in...

So now White Pebble Beach...including the surroundings, really is bustling abnormally; many casual wanderers rarely seen are appearing here, occasionally causing disputes.

However, facts have proven that those who dare to act reckless here meet no good end; so many cultivators have come down from the Higher Realm, and there are countless forces wanting to cozy up to Feng Jun.

Therefore, now White Pebble Beach is rapidly expanding; the number of Golden Cores here exceeds the sum of Golden Core Masters in the Kunhao Realm, yet the expansion, while rapid, is orderly amidst the busyness.

And the Huang Fu Family’s promotion of electrical appliances has led to large-scale cargo transport, truly bustling.

But at this time, Feng Jun had no choice but to leave for a while because...he ran out of spirit stones.
