Feng Jun did not doubt the Big Boss’s words at all, "Can an adult insect survive in the Void as well? Its perception seems quite good."

"Not bad... but it depends on who you compare it with, right?" the Big Boss answered proudly, "In a moment, when we return to the previous location, I’ll point out Tiegu’s position to you. By the way, you should retrieve the corpse of the Transpatial Vine and let the Sky Worm handle the spores."

Finding Tiegu again might not be easy, right? It can move too, Feng Jun thought to himself but asked out loud, "The corpse of the Transpatial Vine... doesn’t it also have a Void bloodline?"

"The Jian Mu is just not afraid of the Void," the Big Boss replied coolly. Though in the Spirit Beast Bag, it saw the battle just now more clearly than Feng Jun, "That thing went mad. The Void can erode it to some extent, but the harm is somewhat lessened..."

"It rushed in here thinking it’s safer, but for long-term survival? Heh."

While chatting with it, the Jade Spore Skyworm looked around, feeling quite bored. It soon dashed out of the defensive formation, flew around the Void for a while, and began trying to take root on a rock.

"Tch," the Big Boss scoffed, "If you could successfully take root, why would you need to hatch outside?"

Liu Yiyi had been here before, appearing very natural, while Shou Xin seemed extremely curious, gazing around incessantly. After a while, she whispered, "Little sister, do you have a Spatial Physique as well?"

She dared not disturb the two True Immortals, and Feng Jun’s previous words showed enough goodwill—"Otherwise, countless Kun cultivators would be in trouble," so she bravely asked the Kun cultivator released by the man.

"Yes," Liu Yiyi nodded gently, more cautiously than Shou Xin, not daring to say a word too much.

Seeing her so cautious, Shou Xin felt infected and stopped speaking, but after a couple of hours, she couldn’t help herself, "This is the Void, isn’t it?"

Liu Yiyi looked at her without speaking, and after a while, seeing no reaction from Feng Jun, she whispered back, "Yes."

However, Shou Xin was not particularly brave to ask. She had some worries, "Since we’re here, can we return?"

Liu Yiyi finally glanced at her, thought for a moment, and answered, "You can return, but once you go back, it’s best not to talk about what happened here... otherwise it will be very troublesome."

"Of course," Shou Xin nodded, and after waiting for a moment, she asked again, "Are you so certain because you’ve been here before?"

Liu Yiyi, the last to emerge from the Spirit Beast Bag, could not hold back any longer after hearing this, "Which family are you from, sister?"

"Oh oh, I’m from the Spirit Plant Dao, Shou Xin," she pointed to Yi Jue, who was restoring Spiritual Energy, "Elder Yi Jue brought me here."

"Oh, I see," Liu Yiyi nodded, "So, you’re not an outsider. What you’re asking about, Immortal Yi Jue will tell you in the future. Don’t worry, it’s safe for us to come and go in the Void."

Shou Xin finally let go of the Big Stone in her heart and glanced at Yi Jue, still recovering Spiritual Energy, "I hope the Elder will recover soon."

Yi Jue’s recovery was indeed slow; Elder Qing Ji’s Spiritual Energy recovered relatively swiftly, but Yi Jue not only had a more significant deficit in Spiritual Energy, but she had also consumed a lot of her Soul and essence blood by using Thought of Dao twice.

The Soul is easier to replenish; consuming some Spirit Objects that supplement the Soul will do. However, replenishing the consumed essence blood entirely is not a matter of ten days or so; even with the world’s rare treasures, it would take at least half a month.

Moreover, essence blood involves one’s foundation; it’s rarely needed in battle, so there’s no rush. The real priority is to replenish some of the Soul.

Yi Jue rested for nearly a day before getting up to say she had mostly recovered—mainly because she was also worried whether True Immortal Tiegu might escape.

Feng Jun, however, replied, "I sense your Soul is still a bit weak, continue to rest without haste, I’ll take charge of pursuing Tiegu!"

Yi Jue trusted him greatly and, without another word, sat down to continue meditating, but Elder Qing Ji could not hold back any longer—mainly because she had already finished resting and felt somewhat idle, "Elder Yi Jue’s Soul is famously powerful, you can sense it?"

I can’t, but the Big Boss can! Feng Jun smiled, "I truly don’t have this ability; it’s mostly that my intuition is rather keen."

Elder Qing Ji nodded, uncertain if she believed him, and then asked, "Can you track down Tiegu?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"It’s also intuition," Feng Jun replied vaguely, then raised his hand to point around, "There are Void Materials here; if Elder Qing Ji has nothing to do, you might want to try your luck."

True Immortal Yi Jue had originally lowered her eyelids, planning to seriously recover her Soul. Upon hearing this, she raised her eyelids and glanced at him.

Elder Qing Ji actually wanted to take action early on, but considering that this place might be Feng Jun and Yi Jue’s private territory, she held back. Seeing that Yi Jue just glanced at her, she smiled, "You speak freely, but I think Elder Yi Jue might not be pleased."

"Things in the Void, just let fate decide," Feng Jun replied indifferently, "Elder Yi Jue is not a petty person. The Void is so vast, who can claim it for themselves? Seriously, don’t wander too far; it’s easy to get lost and there are Void Behemoths here!"

In essence, he’s not petty, of course, with a Big Boss backing him, the most valuable items will fall into his hands. Why should he fuss over those less important things?

Yi Jue heard him say she’s not petty and decided to let it go. She truly isn’t petty, mainly feeling that this place is private for the two of them. His sudden invitation for others to roam without her consent feels a bit disrespectful to her.

After his words, she understood – they are merely partners. She’s not anything special to him, so why require him to allow only her to collect materials?

However, Elder Qing Ji isn’t short-sighted. Although she’s allowed to collect nearby, she isn’t eager to do so, but rather asks curiously, "Void Behemoth... Mountain Master Feng, have you seen it?"

"Of course I’ve seen it," Feng Jun sneered, "Thanks to Elder Tiegu’s care, I’ve wandered the Void for over two years, witnessing quite a few events before finally finding this not-so-large stone."

Elder Qing Ji nodded upon hearing this, "Tiegu is indeed repugnant. This time, we’ll never let him off!"

She then glanced around, finding it difficult as there’s nothing worthy nearby, "What am I supposed to collect?"

She saw the fragment zone, but no way would she touch those trivial items – her reputation couldn’t afford it!

Her response isn’t unexpected; when Feng Jun and Yi Jue were alone, Yi Jue wouldn’t stoop to collecting such trivial items. After all, in the Tianqin Plane, the elders of the Seven Gates and Eighteen Paths are incredibly esteemed, unable to lower themselves.

Feng Jun, observing her demeanor, knew what she was thinking, but indeed couldn’t persuade her, so he closed his eyes to relax, thinking: the opportunity is there; if you don’t want to try, it’s unrelated to me.

But Elder Qing Ji has lived over two thousand years, hesitating for a long time before approaching Feng Jun, "In my impression, were the materials you auctioned from these small fragments?"

After a long silence, Feng Jun finally nodded, "Certainly, though not highly valuable, it’s better than nothing."

The items he auctioned were genuinely not high in value, but rare nonetheless. Elder Qing Ji knew this; simply put, she wouldn’t spend many Spirit Stones to bid, but if she had such items, she wouldn’t let them go to auction either!

Thus, Elder Qing Ji was conflicted now: should I collect some fragments?

If she doesn’t, it feels regrettable; if she does, it seems beneath her.

Her attitude slightly displeased Yi Jue, who was focused on nurturing her Soul, "Allowing you to collect fragments is already Mountain Master Feng’s kindness... Should any mystical materials pass by, they may not belong to you!"

Mystical materials passing by? Elder Qing Ji’s eyes lit up, "I knew it, the Void couldn’t contain just these items, ’haha, what kind of mystical materials might pass by?’"

"No need to overthink. I’m merely advising you, don’t aim too high; remember, those small fragments... I need to collect too," Yi Jue didn’t elaborate, nor was she obligated, "That’s all I’ll say, it’s up to you now!"

Having spoken so plainly, what can Qing Ji the True Immortal do? If Yi Jue collects, naturally she will too.

Thus, in the following day, the elders of the Jinwu Sect were constantly busy in the fragment zone, unaware if their collected items were useful, but listening to the professionals, even a loss wouldn’t be substantial.

A day and a half later, an object the size of a basketball shot over. Qing Ji the True Immortal’s sensory abilities were good, identifying it from afar, her eyes brightened involuntarily, "It’s Chaotic Wind Gold... Mountain Master Feng, may I collect it?"

Chaotic Wind Gold isn’t particularly precious, but extraordinarily rare in such size. Elder Qing Ji knew a disciple of a Jinwu Sect elder was refining a True Artifact set and needed several materials, one of which was sufficient Chaotic Wind Gold of the same origin.

If sold, this piece of Chaotic Wind Gold might fetch four or five high-grade Spirits, but sold to someone needing it to refine a complete True Artifact set – crucially, it must be of the same origin – then, the price in Spirit Stones depends on the seller’s mood.

If the seller truly asks for one or two hundred high-grade Spirits, the buyer would have to accept unless they forego buying, though typically sellers aren’t that excessive. Even twenty or thirty high-grade Spirits would be a price among friends.

Feng Jun was unaware such a material had flown by; it was because the Big Boss didn’t notify him.

Since the Big Boss didn’t inform him, then the material, though precious, wasn’t exceptionally so. Thus, he nodded slightly, "If Elder Qing Ji is interested, then collect it. You’ve protected me for so long, braved the Void, some reward is deserved."
