Chapter 2363 - 2365: Minor Domains of the Clans
True Sage Diaosou... Very familiar? Feng Jun nodded, it must be very familiar, "I even have his True Treasure... Ren Tu True Sage is also well known, but regarding this matter, I can only help you ask, I can’t guarantee anything."
The relationship between White Pebble Beach and Pine Cypress Peak isn’t bad, but in the end, it’s not as close as it is with Yi Jue, Qu Jianlei or Kong Ziyi, so this attitude is already decent.
Yan Donglai thought for a bit, then asked, "If I want to wait, how long until your next reply?"
Yan Yuxi worried Feng Jun might feel pressured, quickly added, "The main issue is the True Immortal disciples of those two Sects, their words and actions are a bit aggressive, my great uncle can’t stand it... Oh, you should help me ask as well."
"You?" Feng Jun glanced at her, decisively shook his head, "Don’t even think about it... That world is very dangerous, the minimum cultivation level of those in my team is Nascent Soul Middle Phase. I don’t want to be hunted by Pine Cypress Peak."
"Pine Cypress Peak wouldn’t dare to hunt you now," Yan Yuxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes, speaking half-jokingly and half-seriously. The Yan Family does act quite dominantly, but currently, they really don’t have the ability to provoke Feng Jun.
So she could only plead, "Mountain Master Feng, we’ve fought side by side before... Don’t you know my combat capabilities?"
Feng Jun continued shaking his head, "It’s exactly because I’m aware that I refuse."
Yan Yuxi sniffed and pouted, "It’s because your cultivation level is higher, you look down on old friends."
Feng Jun helplessly looked at Yan Donglai, "See, this is why I don’t want to return to White Pebble Beach... Too many acquaintances, too difficult."
Yan Donglai was startled by these words, hurriedly looked at Yan Yuxi, "Yuxi, don’t be willful, he’s more knowledgeable about that world than you are."
Yan Yuxi raised her eyebrows, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately remained silent.
"By the way, I’ll find something for you to do," Feng Jun said with a smile, "I’m looking for a professional in mundane communication to give a lecture. Currently, only the Huang Fu family has received training. If you’re interested, you can send some Yan family members to learn."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yuxi regained her spirit. She was well-acquainted with Feng Jun’s various businesses, knowing that although mundane communication bore the name of mundane, it was actually remarkable, and the Huang Fu family monopolized the installation business, earning considerable benefits.
Cultivators look down on worldly possessions, but definitely do not reject the benefits they can bring. For a time, some were contemplating seizing the Huang Fu family’s installation business, putting Master Huang Fu under significant pressure.
Fortunately, Feng Jun’s rise was astonishingly rapid, those contemplating actions hadn’t yet acted substantively, and already True Immortals were everywhere on White Pebble Beach. Considering Feng Jun’s relationship with Huang Fu Wuxian, finally, no one dared to hassle further.
So Yan Yuxi knew Feng Jun’s suggestion was very beneficial for Pine Cypress Peak. She couldn’t help but ask, "If you give the knowledge of mundane communication to the Yan family, how will you explain to the Huang Fu family?"
"Why should I explain to them?" Feng Jun looked at her strangely, "The Huang Fu family is responsible for installation throughout the Kunhao Domain, isn’t that enough? If Yan family members learn the installation, they can work in other domains, it’s completely unaffected, alright?"
"Alright," Yan Yuxi smiled and nodded, "Then thank you. By the way, when will you come back after leaving this time?"
"I probably won’t be gone long, within three to five days," Feng Jun estimated. If Ren Tu True Sage could find those insect camps, it wouldn’t take long for him to go over and act.
Yan Yuxi received the definitive answer, stood up to say goodbye, and only complained softly after leaving Feng Jun’s estate, "Great uncle, I helped you introduce Mountain Master Feng, but you didn’t speak for me."
"I couldn’t help," Yan Donglai shook his head with a bitter smile, "What he means is, if you don’t change your mind, who knows when he’ll return next."
"Did he really say that?" Yan Yuxi blinked and thought for a while before nodding, "Oh, that’s how it is. But... can he refuse everyone? For instance, that person?"
As they spoke, two individuals approached from across; one was at the Golden Core Eighth Layer, the other the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer—these were people from the Wei family in the minor realm of Lingyang, and the Wei family ranks among the top eight in the Three Hundred Secret Realm Families.
What is a minor realm? Actually, it’s still a domain, just relatively small. The Lingyang Domain is only slightly larger than Earth, but most critically, this domain is solely owned by the Wei family.
Of course, complete exclusivity isn’t possible; apart from other issues, ’no marriage within the same surname’ is a critical issue. Hence, approximately twenty percent of this minor realm carries the Wei surname, thirty percent belongs to the vassal families of the Wei family, and less than fifty percent consists of commoners.
The ’Big Eight’ among the Three Hundred Secret Realm Families each have their own minor realm.
The natural environment of Lingyang Domain isn’t particularly good. In the past, a powerhouse in the Integration Phase from the Wei family intercepted Spirit Veins and Spirit Mechanisms from other domains, forcibly transforming it into a suitable domain for cultivation.
This time, the Nascent Soul from the Wei Family is True Immortal Zhaojiu. He wants to invite Feng Jun to make a trip to Lingyang—there is a Ten-Thousand-Year Chestnut Pear Tree there that has run into problems and is on the brink of death.
This Chestnut Pear Tree can be considered a Lingmu. Typically, it only reaches the Golden Core stage, but this particular Chestnut Pear Tree has already reached Nascent Soul, or even Nascent Soul Peak. The fruits it bears not only have medicinal properties but also can extend one’s lifespan.
Aside from its extraordinary value, this Chestnut Pear Tree is also of great significance. It was transplanted from another domain by the Integration Phase Ancestor of the Wei Family. Now that it is dying, it is a great disrespect to the ancestor.
The people of the Wei Family have been seeking help everywhere, but no treatment has been effective. Now they have heard that Feng Jun from the Kunhao Realm is proficient in divination, so they have specially come to invite him. The Yan Family is also waiting for Feng Jun, and since they are both Secret Realm Families, the Yan Family knows of their request.
True Immortal Zhaojiu has been here for quite some time, and before arriving, he had heard a lot about Feng Jun. Therefore, upon meeting Feng Jun, his attitude was still very polite as he narrated his situation, "If Mountain Master Feng could visit Lingyang, we can negotiate the consultation fee."
Feng Jun had also heard of the Wei Family and knew they were a colossal entity. However, he still shook his head and expressed with difficulty, "It is really inconvenient for me to make a house call. If they could come here, I could help with the diagnosis... mainly because there are still people waiting for me in the Insect World."
True Immortal Zhaojiu also knew that Feng Jun had gone to the Insect World with a large group of True Immortals, and Wei Family members were waiting at the Insect Passage Entrance.
Upon hearing this, he expressed his dilemma, "We know it is somewhat presumptuous to ask Mountain Master Feng to come in person, but that Chestnut Pear Tree is difficult to move, especially now that it has suffered severe damage. Although my Wei Family has a True Sage, we still can’t bring it over."
His explanation was very tactful and reasonable, but deliberately mentioning the words "True Sage" was clearly not just to express helplessness.
Feng Jun indeed knew that the Wei Family had an Emergence Stage, and many families among the Three Hundred Secret Realm Families had mysterious strengths. However, it was generally acknowledged that the Wei Family had a True Sage—in reality, this was only ascertained. Strictly speaking, it would not be surprising if the Wei Family had a Divine Spirit Stage.
To exaggerate a bit, whether that Integration Phase Ancestor of the Wei Family died or not, no one really knows; it is just known that the ancestor frequently traversed the void until one day when he left and never returned.
However, in Feng Jun’s view, since you are subtly warning me, I don’t mind returning the warning.
So he nodded and gave a bitter smile, "I understand your difficulties, but I am truly unable to divide myself, so please convey to the True Sage on High that many fellow Daoists are still waiting for me in the Insect World."
"I believe Mountain Master Feng’s words," True Immortal Zhaojiu nodded and earnestly said, "However, pardon me for being frank, Mountain Master Feng excels at divination. In terms of battle over there, I’m afraid you can’t be much help. Am I wrong?"
Feng Jun couldn’t help but slightly curl the corner of his lips, thinking to himself, with such limited information capabilities, how could you be considered one of the Eight Great Families?
But after thinking it over, he became clear. Now, those who know his transport-abiding nature are essentially the cultivators of Seven Schools and Eighteen Paths, who specialize in concealing information, especially unfriendly to Secret Realm Families, let alone the Wei Family, which is among the Eight Greats.
True Immortal Zhaojiu was very keen to notice the small curl at the corner of his mouth. Though his face showed no expression, his heart sank slightly: What do you mean by this? Is there something I’m not aware of?
"My combat abilities are indeed limited," Feng Jun nodded earnestly, admitting his cultivation level is unremarkable, which is no shame.
Then he took out a Fish Basket from the Storage Bag and placed it on the table, inquiring apologetically, "But I still have the True Treasure of Fishing Elder True Sage. If he is fighting over there, am I to return it to him after some days?"
He really didn’t want to boast in this manner. Although he just mentioned Fishing Elder True Sage’s True Treasure to Yan Donglai, he hadn’t taken it out, just casually said it. But seeing this person’s demeanor, he thought it better to show the actual object.
For a force like the Wei Family that possesses a Minor Realm, it is indeed large enough. But precisely because it is large, they wouldn’t dare covet Fishing Elder’s True Treasure—a small family provoking a big figure can relocate, but can a Minor Realm be moved?
True Immortal Zhaojiu turned livid upon witnessing this, thinking that your expression is just asking for a beating, you know that?
His mouth twitched slightly, barely suppressing his anger, retorting sarcastically, "Yes, the True Sages of my Wei Family ultimately can’t compare with the True Sages of Seven Schools and Eighteen Paths."
Feng Jun blinked, curiously asking, "The Wei Family is in the Tianqin Main Plane, not many people, right?"
This question was quite on point; the reason the Wei Family could occupy a Minor Realm is that the Integration Phase Ancestor believed that external expansion was not essential. The vital thing was to manage the family’s foundation well.
Under this guiding thought, the Wei Family mainly managed the Lingyang Minor Realm, a planet even larger than Earth, and the Wei Family accounted for twenty percent of the total population, leaving no energy for further outward expansion.
Especially after sects replaced clans, becoming the mainstream in the Cultivation World, the Wei Family became more reserved and defensive, particularly against other families eyeing their Minor Realm. So although there were some clansmen in Tianqin, their primary role was to gather intelligence concerning this matter.
