Chapter 2238: Chapter 2240: Always Have to Try

Feng Jun didn’t go anywhere else, he just blinked back to the manor.

Today, the people he brought from Earth enjoyed a lot of benefits. Most importantly, he could vaguely feel that the care from the Kunhao Plane could significantly reduce the repulsion faced by Earth’s companions.

This is a very good thing. All along, he could feel that everyone in Luohua—himself included—was being repelled by this world. If the consciousness of the Kunhao Domain could recognize them as "one of their own," the benefits would be immense.

If it weren’t for this, why would he work so hard to curry favor with the consciousness of the Kunhao Domain?

He brought everyone back to the manor to let them stabilize their energies and the connection with the Kunhao Domain.

Zhong Lijing, Li Shishi, and Xu Leigang, among others, were visiting Kunhao for the first time. Before this, they had vaguely heard that the Big Boss could connect with other worlds, and they even knew that Haozhou’s language should be common there.

This time, they finally witnessed it firsthand. Because they were prepared in advance, they didn’t even speak.

After entering the manor, they still didn’t speak. Before Feng Jun took them away, Zhong Lijing asked in a low voice, "Boss, I don’t quite understand the language here. They say you can enhance the Domain’s spirit mechanism... Is that true?"

She also found it difficult. No one formally informed her that she should learn the Haozhou language. Only Good Scenery casually mentioned it, and she was able to understand the phrase "Domain’s spirit mechanism." She really put her heart into it.

Feng Jun also knew the effort she put in, so he nodded and spoke softly, "That’s right. Those are the remains of the Star Devouring Clan. They have such effects. I went through a lot to get a little, to enhance the spirit mechanism of the Kunhao Domain... mainly to make it friendlier towards you all."

He went out of his way to curry favor with the Kunhao consciousness, truly not for himself—no matter how unfriendly the Domain Consciousness could be towards him, it couldn’t prevent him from forming a Nascent Soul, could it?

Of course, maintaining a good relationship with the Domain Consciousness did no harm to him, either. As the Big Boss says, there is communication between Domain Consciousnesses. Frequently challenging a Domain’s owner isn’t something any Domain would like.

But if you get along well with the Domain Consciousness, you can treat it as a home base, or even become a "Child of the Domain."

Zhong Lijing thought for a moment, then gathered her courage to ask, "Then why don’t you enhance the spirit mechanism of Earth?"

"I heard from Teacher Mei that Earth is an Absolute Spirit Land, unsuitable for cultivation, but... it’s our homeland."

Oh dear! Feng Jun shook his head with a wry smile. Am I being admonished?

However, he truly appreciated Zhong Lijing’s attitude—it’s rare these days to find someone who doesn’t forget their roots.

So he replied in a deep voice, "I have made arrangements on the Earth Realm... How could I let it down when it has never let me down?"

He had genuinely left some reserves for the Earth Realm. So, when Yan Yuxi came to ask if he had similar resources to enhance some other Domain, he straightforwardly said, "I have my own plans."

After saying this, he didn’t linger, but instead returned directly to Earth with Luohua’s team, instructing them not to leave Luohua in the short term as more opportunities might be waiting for them.

Only a day had passed since Feng Jun took them away, and he observed for half a day how the outside world reacted—now that he is at the Second Layer Golden Core, he can directly use his Divine Sense to observe the movements of Beauty Lin and others.

The other side was aware of the disappearance of the manor’s members, but they had not yet reacted before everyone returned. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Some even complained that they shouldn’t have been so cautious, missing a perfect opportunity for investigation.

However, someone pointed out the danger of this mindset: Not all the main members of Luohua disappeared—Lin Heihu is still there!

Lin Heihu is a Spiritual Body, but since he likes to do live streams, Beauty Lin also noticed him. As for not having an ID card—not even fingerprints or body temperature—these were not issues; as long as they knew of such a person’s existence.

Speaking of Lin Heihu, we have to mention Hua Hua. Hua Hua didn’t advance this time, but Feng Jun doesn’t think it has no chance; he vaguely feels that the ties with the Earth Realm are too deep, so Domain Care doesn’t significantly affect it.

After all, it has lived for over a thousand years, and the thousand-year Domain influence has deeply imprinted Earth’s mark on it.

However, with this participation, its next step in developing in Kunhao can only be beneficial.

Hua Hua isn’t particularly concerned about not advancing. Upon returning to the Earth Realm, it suddenly realized, "Oh no, the Cancer Care Center... I’ve wasted a day."

It’s just that Hua Hua holds itself to high standards. In fact, all its care is conducted at night without supervision. If it wanted to slack off, taking a few days off during the over twenty-day treatment period wouldn’t be a big deal.

However, Feng Jun’s impression of Hua Hua has improved, secretly deciding that any future benefits will undoubtedly include Hua Hua.

After ensuring there were no major issues on Earth, Feng Jun returned to White Pebble Beach and began preparing to bury the other internal organs of the Star Devouring Clan.

For ordinary domains, the lungs of the Star Devouring Clan were the most important. The spleen and kidneys were somewhat less so—the spleen primarily sorted the spirit mechanism, while the kidneys helped eliminate toxins.

The liver was relatively more important, but even then, it primarily stored the spirit mechanism.

Feng Jun asked Yi Jue to help, and together they dug two pits, planning to bury the spleen and kidney separately.

This time, more people were paying attention to the digging. Yi Jue even expressed: You can dig, but I want to watch you set up the formation.

Feng Jun was already accustomed to her curiosity—as if he wouldn’t let her dig if she didn’t watch him set up the formation.

Anyway, as long as she promised not to spread it, it didn’t matter.

However, before Feng Jun could set up the formation, someone else from the Higher Realm arrived—it was Elder Cang Jing and Elder Zheng Ben from the Xuanshui Sect, both high stage Nascent Souls.

The reason for both elders coming was naturally due to the corpse of the Star Devouring Clan—its remains were currently at the Spirit Plant Path. The three parties hadn’t agreed on how to divide it, but most likely wouldn’t split it and instead would develop this resource together.

The key issue was that the Dao markings on the Star Devouring Clan’s body are too precious; researching it as a whole is certainly better than breaking it apart. Also, the remains may not always stay on the Spirit Plant Path; rotating guardianship among the three parties is more likely.

Negotiations on related matters were ongoing, but upon seeing the wounds on the remains, the Xuanshui Sect decided to communicate rather than the Jinwu Sect, hoping to purchase the remaining internal organs from Feng Jun.

The Xuanshui Sect didn’t intend to forcefully buy; they mainly felt that they already had a partnership with Feng Jun, and with agreed shares in the Spirit Stone mine, asking the price here was a good approach.

Elder Cang Jing was reluctant to come because she knew how hard Feng Jun was to negotiate with, yet she valued the friendship. However, the Xuanshui Sect leader believed the internal organs were too valuable, thus sent Elder Zheng Ben.

At the same time, aware of Feng Jun’s importance, they let Cang Jing come along so that if any communication issues arise, she could make timely adjustments.

Elder Zheng Ben was straightforward; upon meeting Feng Jun, he first gifted him with an Earth Spirit Spring, then directly asked to purchase the internal organs of the Star Devouring Clan, leaving the price for Feng Jun to set.

Feng Jun smiled upon hearing this: fortunately, he acted quickly!

He then led Cang Jing and Zheng Ben to the "mound," saying that this is what the lungs of the Star Devouring Clan have transformed into, blessed by the Kunhao Realm’s care and now become this.

Cang Jing was not surprised by this result, but for Zheng Ben, it was astonishing. He had never imagined there was such a simple means to enhance the domain spirit mechanism.

However, he couldn’t disbelieve it. Too many people witnessed this scene at the time, with over a hundred people had advanced under the domain’s care, all able to testify.

Elder Zheng Ben simply couldn’t comprehend the mechanism, staring at Feng Jun in astonishment and asking, "I’ve never heard that the remains of the Star Devouring Clan could have such wonderful benefits. Dare I ask where this originates?"

He asked about sect secrets, Feng Jun’s attitude was clear; after denying the request, he even countered, "Do you think I would sell a treasure capable of enhancing a domain spirit mechanism and inducing domain joy?"

After pausing, he then stated, "Even if you grit your teeth and buy it, could you achieve what I say?"

Elder Zheng Ben truly felt trapped. Although the remains of the Star Devouring Clan are precious, setting a value in Spirit Stones is tricky; its worth lies in its excessive rarity.

His previous offer to let Feng Jun set the price was based on the belief Feng Jun wouldn’t ask for an unreasonable amount. But now it seems the internal organs have such miraculous effects, demanding any price would be fair, especially since he doesn’t intend to sell.

After pondering, he lowered his stance and asked, "Dare I inquire, Mountain Master Feng, are all the internal organs of the Star Devouring Clan here?"

"Only the lungs," Feng Jun casually replied. He wouldn’t reveal he kept half but wouldn’t hide it too strictly either, "The lungs can absorb the spirit mechanism... every peck and drink is dictated by the Heavenly Dao."

Upon hearing this reply, Zheng Ben nodded thoughtfully, "It truly seems so. So, you’re not planning to sell the other internal organs of the Star Devouring Clan either?"

"Of course," Feng Jun answered without hesitation, "I didn’t take the stomach pouch nor the Dao markings shell, only some internal organs. If you still insist..."

"I didn’t mean to insist," Zheng Ben quickly interrupted, "I just thought that not long ago, on the Ice Plate, our two houses recently completed a cooperation. I’d like to use this relationship to discuss a bit with Mountain Master Feng."

"If it’s just a discussion, then there isn’t any," Feng Jun firmly replied. "I’m rather puzzled by how you think something in my pocket is still yours to covet?"
