Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 552 - : Pan Renjie’s Vision

Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Pan Renjie’s Vision

The appearance of the people from Tiantong Commerce Alliance wasn’t bad news for Feng Jun; those two had drawn the attention of the four on the Wuyou Platform.

Feng Jun picked up the walkie-talkie and walked off into the distance as if to give some directions, but at the same time, he quietly took out his mobile phone.

With so many formations, he would definitely have to analyze them thoroughly.

What he was most concerned about were two illusion arrays, especially one of them, which was also a dense fog entrapment array. Apart from causing hallucinations, it could also make people go around in circles within the array – why else would it be called an entrapment array?

If he could analyze this illusion array first, he would make a huge profit…

A few minutes later, he returned. He didn’t look at the two guards from Tiantong, but turned to Elder Yan, “Shall we continue our discussion?”

After the two entered the room, before Feng Jun could speak, Elder Yan asked, “How do you value the analysis of these array plates?”

Feng Jun replied using the same ploy, “I need to take them back for a thorough analysis. I will let you know tomorrow.”

Pan Renjie was taken aback by this and blurted out, “Wait a minute, Elder… what do you mean by valuation?”

Elder Yan explained the process, stating that every day he would let Feng Jun take an array plate to assess and then decide based on the other party’s asking price.

Although Elder Yan had the air of an old-fashioned man, he was a cultivator in the reality-distortion realm, but in fact, his actions were not old-fashioned at all, which was clear from how he took out five and hid three of the eight array plates – it showed his flexibility.

Among these five array plates, one was what he hoped to get analyzed, and among the remaining four, there was one spare plate.

In Earth Realm’s terms, it was all about strategy – he hoped to give the least and gain the most.

Upon hearing the explanation, Pan Renjie seriously inquired, “Then why not let Friend Feng take all five array plates with him?”

At these words, not only did Elder Yan seem taken aback, but Feng Jun also felt surprised – I mean, I’ve already secretly analyzed one, but that’s no reason to waste someone’s hard work.

However, Elder Yan just hesitated for a moment before nodding, “That makes sense. Friend Feng, please take all of them.”

Feng Jun would certainly not say no, so he picked up the array plates and left.

After he had gone, Elder Yan stepped outside to look around, then returned to the room, perplexed, “Renjie, why let him take all five array plates? Not that he’ll abandon our base of operations here, but… it’s still not quite right.”

Being a cautious man, he knew the risk wasn’t great with Feng Jun analyzing one array plate per day, and understood that the other party didn’t want him to feel at risk, so… it went unspoken.

He had originally not wanted to listen to what Pan Renjie had to say that day, but considering the other’s profound family knowledge in cultivation, and the fact that his cultivation level would soon reach the reality-distortion realm, Elder Yan had agreed to it.

To be honest, he didn’t think Feng Jun would run off with his five array plates, but, Pan Renjie, you are a Qi Refining Disciple, and so adamant with your suggestion to your elder – there must be some rationale, right?

Pan Renjie blinked and lowered his voice, “Elder, that Spirit Gathering Array that got analyzed is selling very well.”

“Selling well?” Elder Yan was taken aback by this.

It was only after listening to his two nephews that he scoffed, “I thought you earned a huge sum. It’s just a few hundred sets of formation methods… you really haven’t seen big money.”

A few hundred sets… and that’s it? Both nephews felt somewhat indignant, thinking to themselves that if you had made that much from spirit stones during the Qi Refinement Realm, you would be over the moon.

Wang Botai, listening on the side, was a bit envious, “Hey, what about me? Am I not involved?”

Pan Renjie glanced at him, “You’ll get half a share; originally, I didn’t even want to give you any.”

Wang Botai, hearing this, laughed and quickly clasped his hands, “Thank you, Elder Brother Pan, Elder Sister Shangguan. I was just asking casually. I really can’t thank you enough.”

Even among cultivators, relationships and social etiquette mattered. They lived longer than the average person, and some friendships were even more valuable.

Just then, Elder Yan spoke again, “By the way, Renjie, since you’ve earned quite a few spirit stones… why lend so many of my array plates to him? Do you plan to cover for him?”

“Cover for him? Why would I do that?” Pan Renjie looked at his elder oddly, “What I mean is, the analyzed array plates might have a market, and if you keep distrusting him… it’s not conducive to future collaboration.”

Elder Yan was taken aback for a good four or five seconds before coming back to his senses, “I… use the analyzed formations to make money? That’s an idea.”

In fact, he had already thought of this possibility before, after all, he had weighed the comprehensive benefits. But in his plan, selling array plates was simply a “better than nothing” option, with the real value lying in the insights gained from analyzing the formations.

Following what Pan Renjie said, since they had earned so many spirit stones from the Spirit Gathering Array, he had to consider whether he was underestimating the market for analyzed array plates.

He couldn’t help but nod to himself: seems like… it’s time to consider the sales aspect.

Upon returning to the small courtyard with various array plates and formation materials in hand, Feng Jun directly exited the mobile phone realm.

Back in reality, everyone else was still cultivating in the bamboo forest, and the construction of the small building in the backyard was ongoing. Feng Jun selected another spot and began attempting to build a Hidden Formation.

He had prepared materials for the Hidden Formation more than a dozen times, but assembling the formation was no easy task. He tried for two days straight but was unsuccessful in establishing it.

On that day, while he was pondering where the problem might lie, Yang Yuxin came looking for him.

October’s weather had already cooled down, but these past few days had been clear and warm, with high temperatures during the day. She was actually wearing a pair of short denim shorts, paired with a long-sleeved white casual shirt on top.

This outfit made her look at least seven or eight years younger.

Feng Jun was conducting experiments on a relatively flat piece of mountainous land. Most of the experimental materials were hidden by grass and trees, but a few were still clearly visible.

Yang Yuxin walked up from the mountain path with caution, noticing the odd materials, but she didn’t give them much thought, careful not to touch them—Feng Jun’s reputation for the supernatural was well-known, and a bit more weirdness wouldn’t surprise her.

When she was two or three meters away from him, she spoke up, “Master… I’ve come up with a networking solution for you.”

Feng Jun was somewhat surprised, “Oh, that was fast… Did you bring it with you?”

“It’s on the computer,” Yang Yuxin answered, “Although it could be transferred to a mobile phone, that wouldn’t be convenient to view.”

Feng Jun raised his hand and swept the surrounding materials into his Storage Bag, “Then let’s go, let’s go downstairs and take a look.”

This action took Yang Yuxin by surprise: What did I just see?

She saw over ten unidentified objects fly up from the grass and disappear with a swoosh by Feng Jun’s side as they vanished.

As his cultivation level increased and his reputation for the mystical grew, Feng Jun cared less about the little things. Seeing Yang Yuxin in a daze, he even said with a smile, “Can’t just leave these things lying around, it wouldn’t be good if someone picked them up.”

Yang Yuxin composed herself and managed to squeeze out a smile, then turned and walked back towards the mountain path, her mind in turmoil.

Could he really be someone who practices cultivation? That’s impossible, even Qin Shi Huang didn’t find the Immortals…

Feng Jun reviewed the networking proposal and honestly, he didn’t understand it much—or you could even say not at all.

After pondering for a while, he asked, “Is it possible to process the data so that I can just connect and use it?”

“Yes, that’s possible,” Yang Yuxin nodded, “But there are many requirements for the computer room facilities, like lightning protection, static electricity prevention, dust-proofing… Where are you planning to buy the island?”

“Well…” Feng Jun pondered, he wasn’t particularly keen on buying an island overseas. The only reason he had that idea before was because the noises from his cultivation practices were getting louder, and Luohua Manor was barely sufficient.

However, this time, having obtained formations like the Hidden Formation and the Dense Fog Entrapment Formation, he felt that this place might still be manageable for a while.

He answered with a frown, “If we’re not talking about buying an island, I thought I was not short on money… Now I realize that I’m still poor.”

Unable to help herself, Yang Yuxin interjected, “Even if you buy an island, you have to consider independence; otherwise, the telecommunication facilities won’t work well… it would just be a big local area network.”

“A big local network is good,” Feng Jun said with a nod and smile, “Let’s do this, get them to assemble it in the warehouse, adjust all the equipment, and make sure to leave the cables long enough… I’ll have to trouble you with this.”

“Oh, and the staff in charge of the adjustments should be those who are not too curious.”

Yang Yuxin looked at him, blinked, and finally nodded, “Alright.”

Having discussed this matter, it was time to prepare the system that Pan Renjie wanted to buy. Although it was only a hundred Spirit Stones, trading a computer system for Spirit Stones was still a good deal.

Fortunately, Li Xiaobin returned that afternoon. The progress in Chaoyang County had been very smooth. She came back to report on her work and took over this task while she was at it.

A couple of days later, after several failures, Feng Jun finally succeeded in setting up the Hidden Formation.

Unfortunately, the area it could conceal was not very large, just about ten square meters. He spent two more days trying to expand the formation, but ultimately it was a bit disappointing as the coverage area was just over ninety square meters, not reaching a hundred square meters.

Feng Jun was certain that without changing the formation structure, the area could not be increased anymore.

This made him slightly disheartened, but fortunately, he had other formations to analyze.

The Dense Fog Entrapment Formation was fairly simple, and the materials used for this formation overlapped significantly with those of the Hidden Formation.

By comparison, the Lingzhi Formation that he valued more presented a lot of difficulties in setting up.

After analyzing the formation, he didn’t have the materials to build it, so he might have to enter the mobile phone realm again.

The next morning, Feng Jun went to return the Array Plate to Elder Yan. They discussed the price for analyzing these Array Plates.

After quoting prices for five Array Plates, Elder Yan decided, “Let’s go with the Lingzhi Formation then, two sets of cultivation techniques plus three hundred Spirit Stones.”

Honestly, the formation Feng had initially planned to analyze was not the Lingzhi Formation, but after a reminder from Pan Renjie and careful selection, he realized that the Lingzhi Formation was also a good choice.
