Chapter 2734: Chapter 2726: The Pitiful Secret Cache

As soon as Feng Jun emphasized "double the energy stones," Xuan Gao’s thoughts wavered again—perhaps what they lacked wasn’t a hundred pieces of equipment, just that now... prices are a bit arbitrary.

Anyway, in this transaction, both parties completed it smoothly. After Feng Jun ordered the "holographic equipment," he left with Yi Jue and Liu Yiyi.

This time, however, they arrived at the Big Planet, where cultivators were mining. Feng Jun had already taken away quite a few, though there had been some replenishments. Overall, the number of people kept decreasing, and next time he’d definitely need to fiercely replenish a batch.

Feng Jun had recently been consuming a lot of energy stones. Not to mention the major transactions here, the key was that energy stones could be converted into spiritual energy, and as far as the Earth Realm is concerned, it could consume any amount of energy stones.

Anyway, it had been a while since he last came, and tens of billions of tons of energy stones had accumulated here again, which Feng Jun took away without a second thought.

Are tens of billions of tons of energy stones a lot? In truth, it’s not much. One cubic kilometer is ten billion cubic meters, and energy stones are slightly denser than water, but only just a bit. Tens of billions of tons of energy stones amount to only a few cubic kilometers.

And perfectly converted, one ton of energy stones can be transformed into around twenty spirit stones, but... does perfect conversion really exist?

In theory, Feng Jun made hundreds of billions of spirit stones here, but would anyone really calculate it this way?

Regardless, besides using energy stones to trade for resources from this world, he also needed to take them back to Earth to convert them into spiritual energy, so these energy stones are far from sufficient. Thus, he muttered, "There aren’t many miners, I need to bring more."

Yi Jue wasn’t surprised by his words. In fact, she had similar considerations, "How about I assign some disciples from Lingzhi Sect? Besides helping you mine, I also want to get some energy stones."

Feng Jun waved his hand, indicating plainy, "The energy stones... I’ll give them to you, sending disciples from Lingzhi Sect over here would only split my focus."

For lower-level cultivators, this world is not without danger. Elder Yi Jue couldn’t send disciples over without considering safety measures, and the cultivators helping Feng Jun mine now are earning spirit stones, with an agreement on risking their lives.

Of course, Feng Jun couldn’t completely ignore the other party, but with such an arrangement, he was under much less pressure.

"Maybe they’re willing to take the risk," Yi Jue didn’t see it that way. She thought that as long as the agreement was settled beforehand, it was fine. The key was that she knew well, "Some lower-level disciples are really lacking in resources, this is also providing them with an opportunity."

"We’ll talk about it later," Feng Jun thought there was no need to specifically deal with such matters, "Shall we go to the Amber Realm first?"

At this time, Xuanyuan Buqi was complaining to Qian Zhong, "This guy just up and leaves, only bringing Yi Jue, it seems he still doesn’t quite trust us... Who knows what he’s thinking, are sect practitioners really that reliable?"

Qian Zhong’s expression was cold, and after a long while he simply said, "His business is too busy, who knows what he’s caught up with now."

Xuanyuan Buqi glanced in the direction of Elder Bian Ji and helplessly shook his head, "His life truly is exceptionally exciting!"

Feng Jun and Yi Jue arrived at the Amber Realm. They chose dusk to unearth a secret stash—there were people herding livestock in the distance, and there were a dozen more people, but Yi Jue’s skills were extraordinary, and the other party consisted of low-level cultivators, so no one was startled.

The contents of this secret stash... were quite scarce, ten-odd upper-level spirits, over three hundred intermediate-level spirits, but there were two Nascent Baby Pills. The rest comprised two magical treasures, several talismans, and an array plate that can support cultivation for two Nascent Soul High Stage individuals.

Very unfortunately, there were three Heavenly Fragrance Fruits, while the box can obviously hold at least a hundred.

"This isn’t over!" The Big Boss was angrily shouting in Feng Jun’s mind, "Tampering with others’ belongings, it won’t be forgiven!"

Yi Jue didn’t sense the Big Boss’s thoughts, but her expression was quite peculiar, "This domain... Things in the Heavenly Curtain really came from this secret stash?"

There’s no need to say anything else, just looking at the Nascent Baby Pills tells you. She knew how rare these elixirs were, the Amber Realm had only produced one Nascent Baby Pill not long ago. Previously, Huo Tianyu had obtained one too. Now, laying eyes on these two... doesn’t it speak volumes?

As for the pitiful three Heavenly Fragrance Fruits, they were a silent accusation.

"Haha," Feng Jun chuckled dryly, touching his nose with his hand, "So... the blessing of realms isn’t so easily attainable."

Yi Jue’s eyebrows furrowed, "When you meet that elder, will he complain to you?"

Feng Jun pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence he said, "This wasn’t my doing; that elder is reasonable enough, as for the follow-up... let him handle it on his own. Do you have any more anchoring lower realms? Preferably those with a higher cultivation limit."

He seemed to have figured it out, the Big Boss’s placement of secret stashes varies according to the different domains, and is highly related to the cultivation level limit of that domain.

"The lower realms I’ve visited... at best, they’re similar to the Amber Realm," Yi Jue thought for a moment, furrowing her brow, "There are even domains like Kunhao, where Nascent Soul cultivators can’t stay for long, this is also Lingzhi Sect’s way of protecting me."

Feng Jun was silent, for indeed most lower realms have an upper limit at the Nascent Soul level, except for the Tianqin Main Plane, where Out-of-Body cultivators can be found, mainly in secondary planes, "What about secondary planes?"

Yi Jue shook her head, "The secondary plane isn’t anchored... it might pose a threat to me, the Dao hopes I’ll exit into the void before anchoring it."

She then asked in astonishment, "Could it be that this senior... has secret stashes in all domains?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jun chuckled bitterly; he couldn’t possibly divulge that the Big Boss was already being extraordinarily secretive, "That senior’s Dao lineage is quite dispersed, and he likes wandering everywhere, so there shouldn’t be too few secret stashes."

"This really... is wealthy," Yi Jue was also a bit speechless, "I always thought I wasn’t short on money, but compared to this one, there’s no comparison. By the way, the Qingchuan Realm used to have cultivators who could exit into the void, but now the upper limit has dropped to Nascent Soul Middle Phase."

Feng Jun really had heard of the Qingchuan Realm before; it used to be a rather powerful domain. But two thousand years ago, the Sky Demon Collective invaded, and many cultivators from Tianqin descended for support. After over a hundred years of battle, they nearly wrecked the whole domain.

Although all the heavenly demons were exterminated, Qingchuan Realm was polluted by demonic aura and began to decline. There are even rumors that the domain itself was affected, which might take at least thirty to fifty thousand years to recover.

In fact, the term "Qingchuan’s Tragedy" is quite famous throughout Tianqin, and no one knows why the heavenly demons attacked Qingchuan’s cultivators so crazily; hence it’s also referred to as the "Qingchuan Mystery."

Feng Jun frowned slightly, "In Qingchuan Realm... does Lingzhi Sect have any branches?"

"No," Yi Jue shook her head, answering firmly, "Qingchuan experienced a heavenly demon battle, some spirit plants have their own characteristics and are very worth researching for Lingzhi Sect. Plans have been made to establish branches, but it can only happen once the domain is stabilized."

"Then let’s go to Qingchuan," Feng Jun decided, "Should we descend into Tianqin first?"

Not only did they need to descend into Tianqin, but Yi Jue preferred convenience, so it was better to descend from her dwelling, or it would be a detour.

Feng Jun hadn’t left any traces in her dwelling, and after the three went to Tianqin, Yi Jue even specifically had someone scout the surroundings, finally returning to her dwelling from Geng Zi Yuan.

Since they returned to the dwelling, she simply ordered the recruitment of disciples to mine in the Insect World.

Quite a few disciples showed interest, because the news that energy stones can be converted into spiritual energy had spread across the Seven Gates and Eighteen Paths. Some even pointed out that gathering more energy stones would gain the favor of the world’s will.

Even if not for the world’s will, energy stones can help nurture certain spirit plants—the discovery of this principle was indeed by Yi Jue.

A lot of disciples signed up, however, Yi Jue didn’t have the time to wait any longer, so after publishing this task, she took Feng Jun and Liu Yiyi directly to Qingchuan Realm.

The place where the three appeared was a dense forest, and there were even some small animals there. But as soon as Yi Jue released her aura, the animals frantically scattered in all directions, afraid of being caught and eaten.

"This aura is quite impressive," Feng Jun complimented, then was taken aback with his face darkening a bit.

Yi Jue didn’t notice his change, "Thirty thousand miles away, there’s a spirit vein that’s about to take shape. I initially anchored here with the thought of establishing a branch nearby... I wonder if someone has occupied that place."

Then she scanned with her divine sense and was slightly astonished, "Someone has indeed occupied it... oh well, let’s discuss it later."

At that time, she didn’t stake a claim, so it’s considered ownerless land; however, she buried a token underground, so forcibly evicting someone isn’t impossible. But setting up a branch now is premature, so there’s no rush to decide.

Then she glanced at Feng Jun and noticed a hint of astonishment on his face, she couldn’t help but ask aloud, "What’s wrong, is there something amiss?"

"It’s not that anything is amiss," Feng Jun responded, frowning lightly, "I feel like there... there’s possibly a secret stash here."

"That’s a good thing though," Yi Jue looked at him puzzled, "Why do you seem a bit reluctant?"

"I’ll start some deductions first," Feng Jun said as he pulled out his mobile phone and started scrolling through it.

However, this deduction was just a front; he was continuously communicating with the Big Boss in his knowledge sea, "You’re saying... the heavenly demons might have been drawn by your secret stash? I mean, what do you have in your secret stash anyway?"

"I’ve forgotten too," the Big Boss expressed helplessly, "There’s definitely a secret stash in this realm, but I feel the correlation with the domain isn’t trivial... it even sort of repels me."

"Can’t we just nicely uncover a secret stash?" Feng Jun was also quite frustrated, "Since it repels you, maybe we shouldn’t unearth this secret stash?"

"That’s impossible," the Big Boss’s attitude was quite firm, "If it drives me away, it’ll just seize my secret stash? Dream on!"

It was clear that the Amber Realm’s domain consciousness had seriously triggered it.
