Chapter 2738: Chapter 2730: Determined to Obtain

"Give it to Yi Jue?" Elder Bian Ji was taken aback, "She’s just at the Nascent Soul stage, not True Infant."

"She is about to reach True Infant," Feng Jun replied gravely, "so we must use the Soul Exit Pill to prevent affecting her soul."

Is it necessary to be so wasteful? Elder Bian Ji felt a bit disheartened, even if Yi Jue reaches Emergence in three hundred years, she won’t be a thousand years old.

But he came from the Alchemy Dao and deeply understood the concern injured families have for their members. In factions that emphasize rules, resource allocation might be strict, but there are also those who highly value family relations and will use resources beyond their standards to aid kin.

So he hesitated for a moment and expressed, "Can I diagnose Immortal Yi Jue?"

Feng Jun thought for a while before saying, "Later. She’s resting right now, I dare not disturb her."

Elder Bian Ji nodded, absentmindedly leaving the manor, only then realizing, "Oh? I originally came for the Feign Death Pill... but I forgot about it. Never mind, I’ll deal with it in a couple of days."

At that moment, two divine senses simultaneously entered his mind, one masculine, one feminine, "Little fellow, come over here."

It’s over! Elder Bian Ji knew he was targeted by those two powerful figures, he could only grit his teeth and blink over, raising his hand and respectfully nodding, "Greetings, noble figures."

Nearby, several divine senses fluctuated, but evidently, no one dared to act out in front of the two powerful figures.

Xuan Yuan Bu Qi raised his hand, releasing a massive Spiritual Qi Shield, speaking amiably, "Little fellow, I just heard about a remarkable elixir... care to share?"

Elder Bian Ji had already realized, his previous exclamation likely alerted more than just these two figures, but now... regret was useless, why hadn’t he controlled himself?

So he could only respond, "The Soul Exit Feign Death Pill? I just discussed it with Mountain Master Feng."

"Little fellow, I’m asking you a question, you could tell me if it’s inconvenient to answer," Xuan Yuan Bu Qi said pleasantly, but soon his expression turned grim, "but if you intentionally deceive... do you think I’m a fool? Hmm?"

"Then it’s inconvenient to answer," Elder Bian Ji responded candidly, "I bet you know, I dare not disrespect you, but also dare not upset Mountain Master Feng... I was scared half to death just now."

Jing Ling’s earlier disturbance was an instinctive reaction, it wasn’t deliberately concealed, those outside should sense some of it.

Hearing this, Xuan Yuan Bu Qi was also helpless. Even without mentioning Jing Ling’s presence, the owner of the White Pebble Beach is Feng Jun, as a guest, he must consider the host’s feelings if he intends to act on someone else’s territory.

However, he was determined to obtain the Soul Consolidating Pill, even more eagerly than the Soul Exit Pill. The Xuanyuan family had two seriously injured True Sages at the Emergence stage, one primarily suffering severe soul and True Infant injuries, the other affected slightly similarly.

If he can save one of them, the burden on his shoulders would be significantly reduced.

Not speaking, Qian Zhong then asked, "Who is injured?"

"It’s Immortal Yi Jue," Elder Bian Ji could answer this question. He didn’t believe these two dared target Yi Jue, not just considering the identity of Lingzhi Sect Elder, but also the relationship between Feng Jun and Yi Jue, who isn’t aware? "She encountered some trouble when she went out with Mountain Master Feng."

Hearing this, Xuan Yuan Bu Qi couldn’t help but click his tongue, "Tsk... Yi Jue."

"Is Mountain Master Feng alright?" Qian Zhong received a positive reply and sighed, "His methods are even more impressive than Yi Jue’s."

After hearing her sigh, Xuan Yuan Bu Qi understood, Feng Jun was exceptionally good to Yi Jue, "Is Yi Jue’s injury... serious?"

"I haven’t seen her, I heard she’s recuperating," Elder Bian Ji shook his head. He originally didn’t want to say more, but thinking about how such a pill would be ’wasted,’ he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Mountain Master Feng wouldn’t want to delay her Emergence."

Xuan Yuan Bu Qi and Qian Zhong exchanged a glance... it’s confirmed that Yi Jue’s injury is not severe.

If it’s not severe, is it necessary to waste the Soul Exit Pill? You’re not more than at the Nascent Soul Peak.

Xuan Yuan Bu Qi shifted his gaze, speaking with a smile, "Little fellow, you must know how to refine Infant Soul Consolidating Powder, right?"

What good would it do even if I could? Elder Bian Ji smiled bitterly, "Infant Soul Consolidating Powder... Mountain Master Feng probably wouldn’t be satisfied."

Honestly speaking, in Alchemy Dao, even if a disciple can refine Infant Soul Consolidating Powder, even if they’re just a Golden Core Master, numerous Nascent Souls would want to cozy up to them, some out of gratitude, some just as a preemptive investment. Now... he’s actually despised by a Golden Core.

Qian Zhong nodded slowly, "Then we should also visit Yi Jue... Is she inconvenient to meet people now?"

The thought of two powerful figures visiting a Nascent Soul—Elder Bian Ji felt more and more bitter, but could only reply honestly, "According to Mountain Master Feng, she needs to rest for another couple of days."

Indeed, the injury isn’t serious! Xuan Yuan Bu Qi nodded slightly, "Alright, you can go back now. If anyone wants to ask you about the pills, let them come to us... understood?"

Anyway, for now, keeping control of the pill situation is wise. With two powerful figures in charge, even the Seven Gates and Eighteen Paths wouldn’t be a concern.

Hearing this, Elder Bian Ji nodded, seeing them remove the Spiritual Qi Shield, he raised his hand in salute and turned to leave... having someone to shoulder the burden wasn’t a bad thing, right?

The fact was just like Xuanyuan Buqi thought; quite a few people heard Elder Bian Ji’s shout, but none heard it as clearly as they did. As a result, several Nascent Soul True Immortals went to ask Bian Ji about it, but he blocked them using the reputation of the two True Lords.

Xuanyuan Buqi felt restless, like he was scratching an itch he couldn’t reach, "Should I visit Yi Jue in the next few days?"

"At least wait for Feng Jun to show up," Qian Zhong was more composed than he was. "Besides... have you prepared a gift for the visit?"

"A gift for the visit... sigh," Xuanyuan Buqi felt a headache at these words. As a True Lord, he didn’t lack good things, but Immortal Yi Jue was also a special case. Her cultivation level wasn’t particularly high, but she was famously wealthy. "Let’s take it one step at a time."

Then he remembered a question, "Do you think these Elixirs were something they obtained while they were out?"

"Does it really matter?" Qian Zhong answered indifferently, "What’s important is how many he has, right?"

"I need at least one," Xuanyuan Buqi stated bluntly. "If you don’t agree, then we’ll have to fight it out."

"Are you out of your mind?" Qian Zhong couldn’t help but retort, "I’m not afraid of fighting you, but the issue is... for what reason? You’re ready to act over something so uncertain, the Xuanyuan family truly is diminishing with every generation."

"Haha," Xuanyuan Buqi laughed, "It’s obvious your urgency for the Elixirs isn’t as high as mine."

He dared to start a fight without anything being confirmed, showing the Xuanyuan family’s determination to obtain it.

"Your family really is bothersome!" Qian Zhong grumbled a bit angrily, "If you take those Elixirs, the Soul Exit Pill is mine!"

Xuanyuan Buqi remained silent for a long while before sighing, "I really want to rob that guy, who knows how many good things he has."

"Ha," Qian Zhong sneered, giving him a sidelong glance before looking towards the manor—where the aura of Jing Ling was.

"Sigh," Xuanyuan Buqi understood what she meant, and couldn’t help but let out another sigh.

Not long after Feng Jun sent Elder Bian Ji away, it was time to activate the Bidirectional Gate. As the passages between the two sides opened, he walked over and once again arrived at Luohua Manor.

Not only had the thirty best Spirits yet to be delivered, but the key was that his Protective Talisman was gone. He wondered if he could ask for another one.

Feng Jun didn’t see it as a simple appeal for help; the events of the early morning also indicated that this was a mutually beneficial arrangement—only if they provided him a Protective Talisman could he search for resources everywhere, right?

Seeing him pick up the best Spirits, the Guardian immediately teleported him over, "How could that guy have caused such a big mess?"

"I don’t know either," Feng Jun smiled wryly, "I suspect it’s not an existence from the Tianqin Plane... Is it a big mess?"

"Of course it is. Did you think I handled it with ease?" the Guardian huffed, "I was just putting on a show for you. The stronger I appear, the less likely it dares to act rashly... it certainly made a big gain."

It paid attention to its proceedings reasonably, though it sometimes exaggerated things somewhat, as it wouldn’t mention its operating costs anyway.

Feng Jun was accustomed to it, and after taking out the best Spirits, he also took out two hundred top Spirit Stones. "Senior, may I have another Protective Talisman?"

"It’s been prepared for you for a while now," suddenly, a new Protective Talisman appeared on the table, simultaneously sweeping away the best Spirits and top Spirit Stones.

It did not forget to tease him, "Is the safety of that female cultivator more important than the Protective Talisman? It’s best not to be too kind on the path of cultivation."

Feng Jun chuckled, "It’s always good to have a partner on this journey. She has never failed me, so how can I fail her?"

"Ah, youth," the Guardian sighed lightly, with a wave of its hand, sent him away, "If you encounter someone you can’t beat, bring them here!"

Feng Jun returned to Luohua Manor, and for the moment, wasn’t in a hurry to go back to White Pebble Beach. Instead, he contacted Li Shishi, "Tell Chief Lin that I’ve brought back some more nanobots."

"Okay," Li Shishi responded, then hesitantly asked, "I heard this is good stuff. A friend of mine wants to use them too... Boss, could you offer a discount?"

"Your friend’s priority; that can be done," Feng Jun felt a little headache dealing with her, she seemed to never grow up, "Discount... something like a major discount, you aren’t short on money, just help out with the payment, won’t you?"

Before knowing Feng Jun, Li Shishi was indeed not well-off, but after being Luohua Manor’s estate manager for so long, even if she didn’t actively earn money, funds would still come to her—even legally.

So now she possessed assets of at least seven or eight million, of course, if she smuggled using Storage Bags, adding two more zeros wouldn’t be a problem, though that wasn’t necessary.

But she still couldn’t bear to part with money, "It’s my money, why should I help others with it?"

"If you can’t bring yourself to cover it, it shows your relationship isn’t that close," Feng Jun replied irritably, "Stop causing trouble for yourself, alright?"
