Chapter 2757 - 2749: Surveillance Lifted

Chapter 2757: Chapter 2749: Surveillance Lifted

Healing the "Heroic Instructor" was not only Feng Jun’s achievement; Qian Zhong also contributed, and Yi Jue provided some medicinal materials.

Moreover, with Xuanyuan Buqi assisting with transportation, in fact, all four of them contributed.

If Feng Jun were to do it alone, the deduction would take longer. The key is that he’d have to go back to find some medicinal materials, and without transportation, it’d be quite inconvenient, which would extend the treatment time... In short, more people make teamwork more powerful.

After treating this individual, Feng Jun planned to return to White Pebble Beach. Although the life potion production line showed some promise, he wasn’t in a rush to negotiate with the other party—not just because he was opposed to privilege, mainly because he wanted to keep the other party in suspense.

Pushing for a deal is not good business. Helping someone extend their life is simple, but once you open that door, if they send one person over, they can send ten, ultimately making him an enemy among Tianqin cultivators.

Therefore, he found it necessary to deal with things coldly; after all, people’s intentions are not endless, and he wanted to avoid passive situations.

The secrets of the Tianqin cultivators should not be leaked by him.

His ideal plan was: help someone extend their life by a few decades, and fairly buy a life potion production line—he wasn’t short of money for purchasing a production line, what he sought was simply the qualification to buy it.

The conditions are somewhat harsh? Perhaps, but he believed that as long as he found the right person, this requirement wasn’t excessive.

Those who live for decades longer and don’t qualify for a production line quota shouldn’t blame him for the high price—it’s merely that your life isn’t worth much! You don’t have the right to negotiate terms.

Just as he was about to head back, Qian Zhong suddenly spoke up, "That Chen Jiu in Xiajing seems to have nobody monitoring him anymore."

The Divine Spirit of Kunhao is indeed terrifying; with a mere thought, things happening throughout Xingzheng Star couldn’t be hidden from her.

No more monitoring? Feng Jun contemplated for a moment and immediately understood, "True, if I’m able to reach Xuan Gao, it means those watches are unnecessary. They’ve figured it out... releasing these monitors allows for more contact with us."

"I don’t think it’s necessary to make contact," Xuanyuan Buqi hmphed irritably, "These ant-like beings actually use the animal pronoun ’it’ to refer to us. If it wasn’t for not wanting to interact with them, I’d certainly give them a good lesson myself!"

"Frogs at the bottom of the well—that’s what they are, to argue with them is beneath us," Feng Jun chuckled, "However, I still feel that the life potion production line is worth purchasing... although it only benefits mortals, it’s ultimately a merit, isn’t it?"

Tianqin doesn’t have the Incense Fire Ascension path; some domains possess some fragmented Incense Fire Ascension systems, but their ceiling is merely staying within that domain, lacking any avenue or potential for ascension, so occasionally, even the dispatched cultivators from Qimen Shiba Dao dare to bully them.

But merits indeed exist; these merits aren’t considered incense, more akin to the domain’s or Heavenly Dao’s joy.

For instance, in the Kunhao realm, the cultivation world and mortal realm are distinctly separated; cultivators view mortals as ants, but there are rules within the cultivation world stipulating that cultivators must not act recklessly in the mortal realm, or they’ll face severe punishment.

This rule isn’t only because the mortal realm is the cultivation world’s soil, providing cultivation seedlings occasionally, but also because whoever dares slaughter mortals will cause the cultivation world to be tainted by mortal karma—essentially, losing merits.

Feng Jun was correct; bringing life potions back to Tianqin can significantly increase the normal lifespan of ordinary mortals, which indeed constitutes merit.

However, Xuanyuan Buqi snorted disdainfully, "That little merit—really doesn’t hold any appeal for me... You go send it to Kunhao instead."

While it didn’t interest him, for Kunhao’s mortal realm, below high-rank martial cultivators, it’s rare for ordinary people to live to one hundred. If a potion could enable someone to live to one hundred and fifty... that’s essentially increasing one’s lifespan by half.

Regardless, for him, this is a meaningless matter, but aiding Feng Jun sounds quite acceptable.

Qian Zhong smiled faintly, "The assistance for us is indeed insignificant, but the Kunhao Realm still has... perhaps that small world behind you might very well need it, hence I’m offering you a reminder."

This style of wording is so... typically Qian Zhong; not only does she want to sell favor but also probes into the world behind him.

"Then let’s go see him," Feng Jun had a good impression of Chen Jiu, and this guy was the first to be aware of his plan, though it was only because Chen Jiu was monitored so tightly that he contacted Xuan Gao later.

It turned out that Chen Jiu, not only was released from monitoring, but around his company and hospital in Xiajing City, monitoring was greatly reduced. It almost seemed like the opposing party outright indicated: Mysterious Human-like race, hurry and make contact.

Thus, on that evening, Feng Jun arrived at the abandoned metal recycling company, standing there with a cigarette, leisurely surveying the surroundings.

He hadn’t even changed his appearance; Chen Jiu’s subordinates recognized him in the monitors and quickly informed, "Ninth Brother, that person has arrived."

It wasn’t long before Chen Jiu arrived, greeting him with a smile, "So, you have come? Some days ago, they told me the monitoring was lifted; I have no idea if that was really true. Can you confirm it?"

"It should be lifted," Feng Jun replied with a smile, "Even if it’s not lifted, it’s not a problem. They can’t catch me anyway."

"Haha, that’s good," Chen Jiu laughed heartily, "Anyway, even if they catch me, I’m not afraid. I just don’t believe they would actually sentence me... Your honor, you’re here for the medicine production line, right?"

"Yes, I’ve told you to prepare it long ago," Feng Jun spread his hands, "The war has been over for more than a year, how’s the preparation going?"

"Well... it’s really embarrassing," Chen Jiu sighed bitterly, "I’ve wanted to help you prepare it, but I’ve been under tight surveillance for over a year. Contacting others rashly would be betraying my friends, and I absolutely can’t do that, right?"

Feng Jun blinked and then snorted softly, "It’s really disappointing... What about after the surveillance ends?"

"It only ended a few days ago," Chen Jiu spread his hands, expressing his frustration, "I’m currently investigating whether the surveillance has truly ended... We really can’t trust what those people say."

"That’s true," Feng Jun, although a little frustrated with the lack of progress, acknowledged the valid and sensible reasons, "I could only contact you after confirming you’re not being watched, but it’s normal if you can’t sense it."

The remark carried a subtle sense of superiority, but Feng Jun didn’t mind, as he believed it was a fact.

Chen Jiu didn’t mind either. Others described their counterparts as "human-like civilizations," but he knew very well that in certain aspects, the other side was much more advanced than the Federation, several folds over. A powerful civilization naturally has its own pride.

Moreover, he had a particularly good impression of this contact, who was straightforward and sincerely helpful to the humans on Xingzheng Star. As for his casual style of speech, that was completely normal—if he had that ability, he wouldn’t bother with those trivial matters either.

So he smiled and nodded, "Now I can be at ease, I can contact those connections I had informed earlier."

Chen Jiu had begun investigating the production line for limb regeneration drugs a long time ago. However, back then, Xingzheng Star was still under the siege of the Insect Race, and the only thing he could do was ask around with no further maneuvering space.

Later, he got injured and spent a long time recuperating. After the Insect Race retreated, he was under surveillance and did not inquire about these matters for the safety of his friends. Now, he could finally contact them without worry.

However, there was still a hint of nervousness in his heart—was it really okay just because this guy said so?

Feng Jun was about to leave, "You go ahead and ask around, secure a supply first, and I’ll come back to you in three to five months."

"Hold on, your honor," Chen Jiu called out as he saw him leaving, "I have a little matter I want to consult with you."

Feng Jun paused and nodded, "Go ahead."

"A couple of days ago, someone contacted me asking if you had any secrets to longevity," Chen Jiu laughed awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Mainly because a substance was detected in the blood of your warriors, which takes five to six hundred years to mature to that stage."

"Oh, come on," Feng Jun was speechless, "They actually found you? That’s really impressive."

"They found others too?" Chen Jiu was slightly surprised but quickly accepted the reality, nodding in agreement, "Truly impressive, the power backing them is... unfathomable."

"Ignore them," Feng Jun waved dismissively, "I’m the type who hates privilege the most. Want to extend life? Sure, first bring me a few Life Elixir Production Lines... If you don’t have that capability, stop talking big."

Chen Jiu was about to speak, when his underling at a distance kept waving and mouthing messages.

There was nothing he could do about it; the place where they were chatting had all signals blocked. Although Chen Jiu’s influence wasn’t as great as Xuan Gao’s, setting up this kind of equipment was still feasible.

So he smiled apologetically at Feng Jun, "Your honor, one moment, there’s an important person looking for me, maybe it has to do with what you said."

"The person looking for you is Robert," Feng Jun replied nonchalantly, "Alright, be quick."

Chen Jiu looked at him in surprise but didn’t dare to say anything else, nodded, and turned to leave running.

Less than five minutes later, he returned running, full of anticipation, "Your honor today... cured the Heroic Instructor?"

"Cured? Not really," Feng Jun shook his head decisively, "His injuries can’t be fully healed in two days, even by an immortal. I just helped remove the poison, the remaining issues aren’t much, just need to rest and recuperate slowly."

"That already counts as cured," Chen Jiu, who knew well about the Heroic Instructor’s feats, and indeed, the entire Xingzheng Star regarded him as a hero, as his health status was widely known.

So he continued, "Robert said that your medical capabilities are astonishing, and a big figure wants to extend his life... the terms are negotiable."

"Does that even need negotiation?" Feng Jun looked at him strangely, "Haven’t I already named my price? First, bring a few production lines."
