Chapter 2375 - 2377: Yi Jue’s Concerns
Feng Jun certainly knows the situation of the Void Ore Field; one part is considered his and Yi Jue’s private domain, offering a broader view and being quite suitable for recovering injuries. Although quiet, there aren’t many ores, whereas the other is a frequently visited Broken Stone Zone.
The Broken Stone Zone is quite large, but sooner or later it will be fully mined. Luan Xiong, being a True Sage in the Out of Body stage, should have no difficulty finding new mining areas, which is beneficial for Feng Jun as well. As for Jinwu taking half, that is normal—how could the appearance fee for a True Sage in the Out of Body stage be low?
What most persuaded him was hearing from Yi Jue that she was absolved of karma by Luan Xiong, a favor he has accepted.
Thus, he nodded, "I have no objection to Jinwu taking half, but the entry and exit of Jinwu disciples... should be resolved by me, right?"
"Are you talking about revenue sharing?" Luan Xiong True Sage immediately understood, "My Jinwu’s own mining area, and entering or exiting still requires a fee... Would two-tenths be sufficient?"
Dropping from half to two-tenths, such a significant concession isn’t small, but it makes some sense—paying you a transport fee for one’s own mining area.
"That’s acceptable," Feng Jun nodded, but he had conditions, "Since it’s your own mining area, you will bear the risk of life and death upon encountering danger. I only handle transportation... Additional fees will be required for emergency assistance."
"That’s acceptable," Luan Xiong True Sage nodded, appreciating this clear pricing, "Jinwu disciples can protect themselves; in case of strong enemy assistance, karma should be resolved... Anything else?"
"Nothing else," Feng Jun shook his head, "True Sage’s entry into the void this time is to seek opportunities for Tianqin cultivators. I won’t charge entry and exit fees; consider it a bit of respect."
Jinwu will take away half of the mining area, but the remaining half naturally belongs to him. The True Sage’s flying capability surpasses Nascent Soul by more than just a bit, saving Yi Jue a lot of time—why charge entry and exit fees?
"All right then," Luan Xiong True Sage didn’t stand on ceremony and directly stored the Storage Talisman, "Want to check my Storage Bag?"
"No need, I wouldn’t dare be so discourteous," Feng Jun waved his hand, "True Sage, should there be any gain, just grant a bit at your discretion."
Cang Jing True Immortal witnessed this, twitching his mouth and couldn’t help but curse Elder Qinghuang inwardly: Damn, if you store all your harvests with Luan Xiong True Sage, you are getting quite the deal.
Feng Jun thought otherwise; he could save a lot of time by directly finding the mining area. This substantial gain made worrying about upsetting the True Sage unnecessary.
Luan Xiong True Sage was pleased with Feng Jun’s attitude; being a True Sage, who wouldn’t have pride? Having a Golden Core check the Storage Bag is truly humiliating, yet he didn’t wish to break the rules, so he inquired proactively.
Given the other’s understanding, he nodded, "Should there be gains, you will surely benefit; I wouldn’t let such trivial matters affect my cultivation heart."
This explanation was specifically for a Small Golden Core; if Feng Jun wasn’t adept at handling the situation, he wouldn’t bother explaining.
Elder Cang Jing blinked, thinking to himself, next time he should bring a True Sage too.
No more to say about what others think; next moment, Feng Jun sent them into the void, specifically to the Broken Stone Zone.
Yi Jue and four others didn’t follow; Feng Jun returned from the void to send them to the Insect World. Yi Jue insisted, just send the four; she wanted to return to White Pebble Beach with him.
After sending people once more, he took Yi Jue back to White Pebble Beach, where the Bidirectional Gate was in the process of being opened.
Feng Jun sat and meditated on his own, while Yi Jue was deducing the treatment plan for the Chestnut Pear Tree. In an instant, a day passed until noon the next day; only then did she put down the stake and, after closing her eyes, meditated to adjust her soul.
Another day and night passed before she let out a breath and slowly opened her eyes, "Such powerful deduction technique; if I were to deduce on my own, it would take at least twenty days... seems no choice but to be convinced."
"Originally, we are teammates, there’s no reason to be convinced or not," Feng Jun casually replied while stabilizing his realm without lifting his eyes. He could speak casually during this stage of stabilization.
Only then did Yi Jue point towards the direction of the Bidirectional Gate, asking solemnly, "What kind of Space Door is that leading to?"
Feng Jun certainly wouldn’t hide it from her, still drooping his eyelids, "A Last Dharma Plane."
Upon hearing it’s a plane, Yi Jue was startled, but once she understood it was "Last Dharma," she nodded, "Oh, Last Dharma is indeed fine, but it’s best not to let others know. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if someone wants to verify."
"No problem," Feng Jun replied blandly, still not lifting his eyelids, "Just say it’s a Last Dharma Minor World owned by my sect; anyone wishing to enter for verification can sign a life-and-death document."
He had thought it through; since his development has reached this point, hiding no longer seems the best option. Occasionally showing strength might make it easier to be accepted.
Yi Jue considered Feng Jun’s words, then nodded slightly, "Right, just don’t be too ostentatious."
Feng Jun actually appreciated her reminder—though he didn’t care much, it was ultimately a gesture of kindness from her.
So he finally opened his eyes and spoke with a smile, "Actually, I’m testing the method of spiritual energy revival on the Last Dharma Plane."
"Spiritual energy revival?" Yi Jue was taken aback by his words, her face changing, "Are you using Tianqin’s spiritual energy to supplement that place? Doing so can easily provoke retaliation from the plane!"
"You can rest assured on that count," Feng Jun smiled nonchalantly, "Didn’t you forget about the domain’s affection just now? Besides, before this, I’ve buried the Swallowed Star Demon’s innards; how could I not consider these things?"
He had done very in-depth research on these causes and effects. Undoubtedly, transporting spirit mechanisms from Tianqin to Earth would certainly trigger some karma, but the karma was not that severe.
In essence, Tianqin is a plane with abundant spiritual mechanisms, a slight loss of spiritual mechanisms or energy won’t lead to any severe consequences—Tianqin cultivators scatter plenty of spiritual mechanisms in the void or other worlds, and there are no apparent consequences.
Meanwhile, the spiritual mechanisms and energy on Earth are so scarce that some change in spiritual energy simply cannot arouse the concern of the Tianqin Plane—as long as he wasn’t moving Spirit Stones to Earth with all his heart, there would be no problem.
Of course, he would pay attention to the areas requiring caution; after all, his main means of striving for spiritual energy revival involved the Swallowed Star Demon’s innards and the Xuanhuang Qi, among others. As for Spirit Stones... they were mostly used for daily expenses.
If the Tianqin Plane couldn’t even withstand this kind of loss, it wouldn’t be worthy of being called a "mature cultivation plane."
Yi Jue nodded upon hearing these words, "Since you’ve considered it, then I’m at ease. Can I take a stroll in that plane?"
Feng Jun thought for a moment and slowly shook his head, "I wouldn’t recommend you going, for even in Kunhao, the scarcity of spiritual energy would affect you, let alone in that place."
This statement was quite true; upon arriving at White Pebble Beach, Yi Jue would seemingly enter Feng Jun’s manor involuntarily. This was due to their good rapport, but also because spiritual energy in Kunhao was too sparse. In Feng Jun’s manor, at least there was a Golden Core leyline.
With the Golden Core leyline combined with the Nascent Soul pedestrian, Yi Jue could barely maintain the declining spiritual energy. Once the Spirit Gathering Array of the Nascent Soul pedestrian was elevated to too high a level, not only would Spirit Stone consumption increase significantly, but it would also cause damage to the Golden Core leyline.
Thinking back to when Master Sumiao went to Mount Zhige in the Mortal Realm, she didn’t hesitate to activate the Golden Core Journey to avoid the erosion of foul energy; the problems Yi Jue would face in the Earth Realm would only be more severe.
There was indeed a Golden Core Peak Spirit Gathering Array in Luohua, but honestly speaking, Feng Jun was reluctant to let Yi Jue use it—you really don’t have to go to the Earth Realm, so save it for me.
Yi Jue thought about it and nodded, then posed a question, "Are your mundane items produced in this plane?"
Feng Jun was mentally prepared for this question and candidly admitted, "Of course, they can’t cultivate, so they’re well-suited to manufacture mundane items and improve living standards. There’s no issue with that logic, right?"
Yi Jue, however, was quite happy because she could completely deny it; if she admitted it, it would mean that there were humans in that plane, which was a great show of trust.
In fact, even though cultivators in the Cultivation World viewed the commoners in the Mortal Realm like ants, they considered the population to be a resource—just look at the captured cauldrons; with a large enough population base, you could always select some good ones.
So she smiled faintly, "This time I got you some more weapons, including disc-shaped warships, space mech armor... and complete ones!"
Feng Jun was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this, "Really? Thank you so much... Did you guess I want to use mortal methods to deal with mortals?"
"No need to thank me; we are teammates," Yi Jue smiled at him, "Since you acknowledge there are mortals on the other side, I’m only telling you about these weapons because you mentioned mortals over there; otherwise, I wouldn’t have told you."
What she meant was: you’re honest with me, so I’m honest with you in return.
But Feng Jun wasn’t someone who didn’t understand the implications; he had strong logical thinking abilities, so he shook his head and replied with a smile, "That’s not quite it. In battle, the Fairy didn’t forget to help me gather these spoils, I am aware, and there will surely be rewards in the future."
He understood very well that Yi Jue had kept a lookout to help him collect these things once she discovered his interest in them; just that intention alone was priceless, and it had nothing to do with him setting up a Bidirectional Gate.
Especially since resources like storage space are very valuable, despite the cultivators preparing a large number of high-capacity storage bags, when fighting deep in the Insect World, you can never have too much storage space.
Otherwise, Elders Cang Jing and Qinghuang wouldn’t rush to Tianqin immediately upon return to tidy up their harvest—the harvest was too plentiful, and sometimes they had no choice but to abandon some Qi Refinement Realm insect corpses to clear up some space.
Yi Jue was among the first to enter the depths of the Insect World with him, and her storage space should have been almost fully utilized. In such a situation, she still managed to retain these mortal weapons, which truly showed her considerate heart.
"What do I need your repayment for?" Yi Jue nonchalantly curled her lips, then stood up and walked toward the door, "This space is a bit small; let’s find a more spacious area..."
