Chapter 2754: Chapter 2746: Descending and Ascending

Xuanyuan Buqi frowned at the words, "It’s just an Asura. Why do I need to guard it... Fine, I’ll send a Divine Spirit over."

A True Sage of the Divine Spirit isn’t merely a body, but deploying too many avatars can affect associated combat strength.

He originally didn’t want to pay attention to this place. After all, casually exposing avatars is not advantageous for him, but since the Spirit Plant Dao was willing to support him morally, it was so rare that it was worth him deploying another avatar.

Speaking of it, the Sect explicitly supporting Clan practitioners surely had some reasoning behind it. He highly suspected that the Spirit Plant Dao wanted to consolidate its right to speak at the passage entrance, hence attracting the Xuanyuan Family as support. However, what does that matter?

The world is bustling all for profit, and as long as it aids his clan in reaching their goal, some partnerships are not impossible to negotiate. Moreover, the fact that the Xuanyuan Family is qualified to be utilized by one of the Eighteen Paths is a recognition of their strength.

Beside him was Qian Zhong, a True Sage from the Yao Family. If the Yao Family wanted to seize this passage entrance, they might not necessarily receive support from the Spirit Plant Dao.

As if guessing his thoughts, Qian Zhong actually said, "Isn’t it unnecessary? Just call a True Sage over."

"The True Sages of the Xuanyuan Family each have their own assignments," Xuanyuan Buqi replied with a grin, "and since the Spirit Plant Dao has named me, I can’t let them down, can I?"

Then he turned to Xuanyuan Hulie, "Hulie, three tasks: one is to collect lower realm resources, two, keep an eye on this coordinate, and finally... arrange for some juniors to engage in combat with the Asuras in the virtual combat system."

"Okay," Xuanyuan Hulie nodded, then asked, "But about the Insect World... should we still assign people there?"

Now the junior members of the Xuanyuan Family have many directions to choose from: the Insect World, Void Treasure Hunt, collecting resources from the lower realms, guarding the passage, or trials in the virtual combat system... Even High-Rank practitioners feel a little overwhelmed.

Actually, it’s not just the junior members of the Xuanyuan Family; practitioners from the Seven Sects and the Eighteen Paths all feel there are too many choices, and some traditional businesses need to be reduced a bit.

When Yi Jue returned to White Pebble Beach, the waiting cultivators were immediately cheered—finally, the crafting of Magical Treasures could resume.

Everyone already knew that the preliminary adjustment of the Magical Treasures was handled by Feng Jun, but the final crafting was by Yi Jue in cooperation with that mighty figure.

In fact, even Jing Ling was getting a little impatient. Although it still had some Supreme Spirit Stones left, it didn’t feel good that they weren’t replenished in time, so it even sent a divine sense to Yi Jue, "Ask Feng Jun for some defensive items,"

Yi Jue was indeed startled; she had received numerous divine senses from Jing Ling, but they were all about how to disperse Spirit Stones. In her impression, this forebear was extremely aloof and never mentioned unnecessary matters, so why the change this time?

However, after calming herself, she answered coolly, "Thank you, senior, for your care. I am already prepared and will not make a similar mistake next time."

She wasn’t bashful with Feng Jun, but those defensive items weren’t something he could produce; they required requesting from his seniors, so she couldn’t possibly put Feng Jun in a difficult position.

Jing Ling remained silent thereafter. For it to say even one sentence was already an unprecedented lowering of its stance; a second was impossible.

In the following half-month, Feng Jun crafted five more Magical Treasures, earning a hundred Supreme Spirit Stones, with fifty distributed to each of the two bosses.

Subsequently, it was all about the fifteen-Supreme-Spirit-Stone standard configuration—whether it was putting on airs or engaging in fake promotions like the Luo Family, everyone at least bought the top configuration. However, pragmatic people would eventually show up.

Buyers were not from ordinary factions but from those who practiced the Way of Painting, which is not only part of the Eighteen Paths but also one of the four oldest paths.

Therefore, the Way of Painting could afford it, but they were suspicious of the effects. They’ve seen others use it many times, but whether the shoes fit, one knows only after wearing them. They didn’t mind what others thought.

Thus, art practitioners... are truly self-centered.

Since the Way of Painting publicly promoted it like this, other subsequent buyers also opted for the standard configuration—if even the Way of Painting doesn’t mind skimping, then following suit isn’t embarrassing, right?

Indeed, there were later buyers of the top configuration, but undeniably, the era of the standard configuration had finally arrived.

Feng Jun knew this day would come sooner or later, but inevitably felt a bit annoyed. Hence, he announced publicly that he had crafted five more items and needed some rest—the key point being that his seniors were also a bit fatigued.

The people practicing the Way of Painting understood that this guy Feng Jun does things willfully, but when it’s our family’s turn, you choose to take a break—is it because you look down on our standard configuration?

They thought opting for the standard configuration was pragmatic, privately murmuring—Mountain Master Feng seemed a bit opportunistic.

Just as these whispers spread, Jing Ling’s divine sense swept over—not doing anything else, just releasing a bit of pressure.

It was also quite annoyed that you initiated such a bad precedent, and did it make sense?

In the same crafting process, paying five fewer Supreme Spirit Stones, that’s my loss—at least a loss of two and a half!

So feeling a bit fatigued... Feng Jun wasn’t wrong at all!

As soon as Jing Ling’s divine sense emerged, the people from the Way of Painting dared not mutter anymore. Not to mention, in recent years, not a single Divine Spirit True Lord has appeared in the Way of Painting. The other side is an existence capable of suppressing a Divine Spirit True Lord. Speaking recklessly on such a being’s territory is clearly unwise behavior.

Actually, Feng Jun took a brief respite, but it did not lead to a decrease in matters. Elder Bian Ji came again to continue discussing the derivation of the Feign Death Pill.

In terms of the Feign Death Pill, Yi Jue primarily handled the coordination, as she was more adept at communicating with geniuses.

Feng Jun also needed to help people with derivations, which was a very important income. Especially in the last two months, two cultivators had failed in their core formation attempts. One died outright, while the other survived, but the family came knocking at the door.

Fortunately, there were many high-level cultivators near White Pebble Beach at the moment. Elder Cang Jing came forward directly to oppose them—how can cultivation be risk-free? If you can’t afford to play, then don’t play; get lost!

The other party could not afford to provoke an elder from the Xuanshui Sect, so they left sullenly. However, with Cang Jing having stepped out, Feng Jun could not possibly make no gesture, right?

The more pressing issue was that the failure of two core formations was very damaging to the harmonious Qi field among peers. To maintain this field, Feng Jun had to work hard to persuade some people to leave.

One can imagine how difficult this work was. Everyone knew how rare and precious the addition to the harmonious Qi field was. Many people stated, "Even if we fail in our core formation, we won’t blame you, is that okay?"

There were even extreme individuals who directly killed the family of the troublemakers and brought the heads over—"Mountain Master Feng, look, I’ve helped you seek justice. Could you give me a chance?"

Feng Jun really wanted to give this guy a chance, but... with a mere fifty-two percent probability of core formation, don’t mess with me, okay?

Not messing with him... that’s really not an option. Without the harmonious Qi field, the probability of this person’s core formation was forty-nine percent. Although it’s just a three percentage point difference, whether you have control or not, can it be the same?

Regardless, it’s a situation with no easy solution. The other party even brought the heads, and such active standing up for White Pebble Beach needs encouragement—once people’s hearts grow cold, it will be hard to warm them up again.

Besides core formation derivation, healing also took up a substantial portion, and currently, the increase was mainly in the derivation above Nascent Soul and advancement above it.

This was largely blamed on Ji Niang True Immortal. Ji Niang’s intentions were good; she had been stuck at Nascent Soul Sixth Layer for too long. Feng Jun helped her find a way to advance, and she saw the possibility of advancing to Out of Body Stage and continuing to pair with True Sage Liu He.

She was very grateful to Feng Jun, and True Sage Liu He was also very grateful. Real Dao companions are truly closer than family—Yin Yang Attraction is called love, giving birth and raising children becomes kinship, and walking hand in hand on the Dao path is what is called Dao companionship!

Anyway, after this pair advertised, many people came seeking fame.

However, this service... was indeed somewhat beyond the scope. White Pebble Beach was not on the Tianqin Main Plane. Derivations below Nascent Soul were no problem, but above Nascent Soul—even including the Nascent Soul stage—it’s best to perform derivations on the main plane.

Actually, many people were aware of this situation, and Feng Jun used it as a reason to refuse many people.

Numerous cultivators hoped to invite Feng Jun to perform derivations in the Higher Realm, but the problem was—do you have enough face for that?

If Feng Jun were just an ordinary Golden Core Sixth Layer, inviting him to the Higher Realm to perform derivations would be giving him face, and he would have no choice but to go.

But is Feng Jun really an ordinary Golden Core Sixth Layer? Absolutely not!

So this led to quite a bit of trouble again; Mountain Master Feng has enough face to withstand it, but after all, isn’t it still a problem?

However, this was nothing serious, just a bit of annoyance. The real issue was... ten days after his rest, Luan Xiong True Sage came knocking, "Mountain Master Feng, I want to know... what happened with Yue Yi?"

Luan Xiong originally handled affairs for the Jinwu Subordinates in the Insect World and made a special trip to White Pebble Beach, which shows how seriously he took this matter.

But Feng Jun was quite displeased. He believed that he had a sense of reverence, but reverence cannot be applied in such a situation. "Elder Yue Yi is an elder dispatched under the Jinwu line. If something happened, wouldn’t it be more appropriate for you, Luan Xiong True Sage, to ask him?"

Luan Xiong True Sage indeed did not get angry because he knew what kind of person Feng Jun was. He had no effective means to handle such a person with both capability and personality.

Others often said Luan Xiong True Sage had a bad temper and was decisive in killing, but in fact, he was someone who valued relationships and loyalty. When he went out of seclusion, he was extremely dissatisfied with You Xuan, but he did not react strongly.

This time, upon hearing about Yue Yi’s situation, he had to make a trip back—the subordinate disciples were causing too much chaos without proper discipline.

He also knew that Yue Yi had concealed some things, but he could not afford to worry about it—after all, for a dignified True Sage, to bother about the trifling romantic affairs of juniors was indeed embarrassing.

He heard that a space coordinate point had been occupied by the Xuanyuan Family, and it was said to lead to an interdimensional pathway. This was what prompted him to find Feng Jun.

The Tianqin cultivators were extremely aggressive, and an interdimensional pathway generally meant wealth. However, he surely wouldn’t go to the Xuanyuan Family to argue—regardless of whether he feared the True Lord of the Xuanyuan Family, he needed to clarify the situation first, right?
