Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Plane Shifting
The application of the Lingzhi Formation is not for people, but for cultivating Spirit Valley, Spirit Rice, and even Spiritual Medicine, etc.
This type of formation has a wide range of demand in the Cultivation World.
Master Yan believed that if he could decipher this formation, he could earn a significant amount of Spirit Stones, especially when he seriously considered this option, he realized that this formation also involved the transformation of Spiritual Energy.
Strictly speaking, most of the formations used by cultivators are more or less related to the transformation of Spiritual Energy, but undoubtedly, the Lingzhi Formation has a greater relationship with the transformation of Spiritual Energy — it is formations like the Concealment Illusion Array that have a greater impact on the Six Senses.
Master Yan chose the Lingzhi Formation because he was optimistic about its future and had even prepared to offer Feng Jun a share of the profits if Feng Jun did not want to sell the exclusive rights to the formation’s analysis – well, up to 20 percent, no more.
But it seemed that Feng Jun wasn’t considering these offers, just two cultivation techniques plus three hundred Spirit Stones.
After Master Yan made his choice, Feng Jun immediately presented a list of materials – he would foot the bill for all the materials, and if there was any mistake in the materials ordered, it would be charged to his account. If the materials were correct, the other party had to pay for everything and also gift him 60 percent of them.
This operation looked like a betting agreement, betting on his mastery of the formation analysis.
In fact, Feng Jun had also mixed in some materials he needed, such as Essence of Ink Gold, and Profound Bird Tail Feather for instance.
He also planned to ask the Yu Family, Mi Family, or Chen Family to purchase some mundane materials. In short, he couldn’t let anyone guess that he bought these materials intending to analyze certain array plates.
Master Yan expressed a cautious doubt about these materials, “Essence of Ink Gold and Profound Bird Tail Feather? To use these in a Lingzhi Formation might make the cost… rather high.”
This wasn’t nitpicking. In fact, the selling price of a Lingzhi Formation wasn’t high, far less than that of a Spirit Gathering Array. It’s about volume, there’s a huge demand, but the effect of gathering Spiritual Energy is average.
After all, how could a formation serving the purposes of plant cultivation compare to one serving cultivators?
But on the other hand, it’s the volume sales… that profit is the most anticipated.
Generally speaking, Lingzhi Formations do not require an Array Plate; setting up the formation beside Spirit Fields would suffice. Why would an Array Plate be necessary?
But cultivators may encounter many situations. For example, if you rent a piece of Spirit Fields for five years, it’s not worth setting up a Lingzhi Formation especially, so buying an Array Plate is more cost-effective.
Or, if a cultivator goes on an expedition somewhere and gets trapped, they can use Spirit Restoration Arrays and Fasting Pills for the short term, but if it goes on longer, perhaps farming might be a good option.
Before presenting the list, Feng Jun had already considered the doubts that might arise from the other party. He answered with a smile, “I have some other speculations that will require some materials to verify, consider this as something you’re helping me with, Master Yan… You don’t have a Defense Array Disk, do you?”
As it turned out, Master Yan indeed had one – it was one of the three Array Plates that he hadn’t put on the table.
And he had thought it through: if he couldn’t agree on the five Array Plates, the Defense Formation would be his alternative choice within the remaining three.
Why? Because the Defense Formation also involves the transformation of Spiritual Energy and is also easy to sell.
But when it comes to the sales of standard formations, the Defense Formation is far behind the Lingzhi Formation.
Indeed, many Cultivation forces have various defensive formations, but all those are installed on-site, and most are customized — if everyone’s defensive formations were the same, wouldn’t that make it too easy for adversaries to target them?
So in Master Yan’s mind, this was the second choice for a backup formation. Now that he had chosen the Lingzhi Formation, there was naturally no need to offer the other three Array Plates.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to get on good terms with Feng Jun; on the contrary, because he wanted to form a good relationship, it was inappropriate to bring out the plates now, lest Feng Jun wonder why he hadn’t offered them earlier.
He nodded slightly, “Defensive formation, huh? I’ll think of a way.”
While saying this, his mind was quietly pondering whether Essence of Ink Gold and Profound Bird Tail Feather could be used to set up a defensive formation.
Feng Jun asked about the Defense Array Disk to lead Master Yan to this unrelated train of thought.
After coming to an agreement with Master Yan on which formation to analyze, Feng Jun returned the other four Array Plates, taking only the Lingzhi Formation with him. “I’ll go analyze it. Contact me once you get the materials, and we can discuss this together.”
Having acquired a fair amount of materials through Master Yan, Feng Jun was in a good mood. On returning, he delegated his remaining material needs to the Yu Family, Mi Family, and Chen Family. Under the guise of analyzing the Array Plate, he went into the mountains again.
This time, his excursion into the mountains wasn’t for mining Spirit Stones, because in addition to the Wuyou Platform, another Cultivation force had arrived, and he had even seen the Third Level of Qi Refinement practitioner from yesterday roaming around his territory.
With more people taking interest, he had to be cautious about mining Spiritual Stones in the mountains — at least he needed a sufficient reason, and to ensure no spectators, before he could make his move again.
So, on this occasion, he entered the mountains to reactivate the Spirit Gathering Array, focusing on cultivation.
Once the Spirit Gathering Array was activated, many people noticed. However, following the last activation of the Spirit Gathering Array, the efficacy of leeching off the Spiritual Energy wasn’t good, and the only person who managed to rise three levels, Chen Junsheng, only just started recuperating.
Feng Jun suggested that he should first leech off Yu Changqing’s Spirit Gathering Array, then recuperate for another month before coming over to leech off mine.
Since he didn’t have his own Spirit Gathering Array, he could only leech off others’ cultivation practice, and Chen Junsheng didn’t even dare to entertain the thought of complaining—a mortal cultivating was strictly forbidden to begin with, so the fact that someone was willing to let you leech spiritual energy was already a tremendous fortune.
Therefore, the only person who leeched spiritual energy from outside Feng Jun’s array was Mi Yunshan.
Lang Zhen had no grounds to complain either, Sister Lin was originally a cultivation seedling and also Master Feng’s woman; he would think it unjustifiable to challenge this—dare he?
Moreover, an intermediate-level Spirit Gathering Array was indeed a bit overwhelming for ordinary people; Mi Yunshan had to leech spiritual energy from a distance of two hundred meters away.
Feng Jun chose to cultivate at this moment because preparing oneself was never a hindrance to work. He needed to wait for various materials to arrive, and the spiritual energy needed to cultivate the Devouring Primordial Heaven Technique was truly enormous.
He had previously reached the Qi Refining Sixth Layer while cultivating in the Earth Realm, but there was still a considerable distance to the peak of that level.
When he broke through from the Third Level of Qi Refinement to the fourth, he had already suffered from this mistake, thinking he was just one step away, when in fact, he was only far off seeing the threshold, and the breakthrough added unexpected obstacles.
So now he needed to take the time to accumulate strength. As for ordinary Spirit Gathering Arrays not being as effective as Heaven-Swallowing Formation, it really didn’t matter; besides bursting through levels, regular cultivation wasn’t that different.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the smartphone plane was much more abundant than in the Earth Realm, and the enriched spiritual energy would slow the consumption of Spirit Stones significantly.
However, after cultivating for three days, the Spirit Stones in the Spirit Gathering Array had been replaced four times, a total of thirty-six stones. It was fortunate that only Mi Yunshan, a little greenhorn, was around. Otherwise, with the rate at which he was consuming energy, it would be strange if others didn’t become suspicious.
Shangguan Yunjin was indeed fast at purchasing materials. In three days, he managed to acquire all the materials Feng Jun had listed.
Now that he had the materials, Feng Jun took the Array Plate of the Lingzhi Formation along with the deciphered Array Diagram to the small courtyard of the Wuyou Platform.
The space in the courtyard was a bit small, so the two of them left the courtyard and entered Feng Jun’s territory, choosing a clear space to conduct their experiments.
A Qi-Refining Practitioner from the Tiantong Commerce Alliance followed them, but Shangguan Yunjin promptly sent him away, “Stop right there. This is our experimental venue. Can’t you see that?”
The cultivator dared not say anything. He had no reason to object, and with inferior cultivation, he could only obediently leave when someone booted him out so rudely.
After looking at the deciphered Array Diagram, Pan Renjie felt it made sense. With his comprehension of formations, he could basically tell this was a true deciphering of the Lingzhi Formation, but as for detailed calculations, he really lacked that ability.
Last time, Feng Jun only concealed two raw materials, and Pan Renjie had calculated for three whole days and nights. Although he got it right in the end, this indicated that it would take him at least a year and a half to fully understand this formation.
Even though he was quite certain about the Array Diagram, he was still a bit curious, “These past three days, weren’t you just cultivating? How did you decipher it?”
“Yes,” Feng Jun nodded solemnly in response, “During the deciphering of the Array Diagram, I have to be in a state of cultivation. Deciphering consumes a lot of spiritual energy… You know what I mean, right?”
“Well, that makes sense,” Pan Renjie agreed, and the doubts in his mind vanished, “Shall we start now?”
The process took several days. Feng Jun only worked with Pan Renjie for a day, then entrusted the rest of the work to him—people with a passion for research should fully exploit their initiative.
Of course, that didn’t mean he went back to cultivating—without the pretense of deciphering an Array Plate, he felt it wasn’t quite right to just focus on his own cultivation.
So, he made a trip back to the Earth Realm and bought a walkie-talkie repeater station, beginning the installation on Mount Zhige.

Thankfully, there were no greening quotas on Mount Zhige, so he just had to choose the most suitable point.
Once the repeater station was built, the range of the walkie-talkies was greatly extended.
Then… not only Yu Changqing but also Pan Renjie was somewhat tempted, “This gadget seems like it can be taken back and used, huh?”
Shangguan Yunjin’s eyes were filled with the light of seeing Spirit Stones; however, she ultimately sighed, “What a pity… It’s just a mundane object.”
The two of them resented Feng Jun deeply: Can’t you invent something that isn’t mundane?
Feng Jun sneered at their thoughts, “The Contribution Point System is mundane as well, yet you still need it, don’t you?”
Speaking of this, Pan Renjie could no longer restrain himself and began to urge, “It should be about time for the system, right? My clan members are still waiting to try it.”
These days, the five members of the Pan Family had been waiting rather idly. Although Mount Zhige had some interesting things to observe, the old saying applied: they were still mundane.
“Mhm, mhm,” Feng Jun answered vaguely, “It’s late today, I’ll bring it over to you tomorrow.”
Running back and forth between two planes… poor my energy points.
