Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1272: Chi Luan Takes Action
Chapter 1272: Chapter 1272: Chi Luan Takes Action
Half a month later, twenty-seven members of the Crimson Pheonix arrived at Thunder Plains.
The registration was mainly during the first three days. Towards the end, a few stragglers arrived; those who didn’t come either had pressing matters, their health was fine enough, or their sect contributions were not particularly rich. Of course, some didn’t quite trust Feng Jun.
The man’s medical skills and predictive abilities might be passable, but it may not be worth exchanging four thousand sect contributions.
In addition, thirty Qi Refining Peak disciples followed — the successful matching of the Fire Marrow Pill had already spread like wildfire within the Qi Refinement Realm. Anyone with a bit of ability started to report matching requests to their sect.
These thirty people noticeably didn’t appear as robust and energetic as the forty selected last time; some even had visible injuries.
Yet, these disciples strongly demanded participation, and those injured even stated that they could recuperate for a year. They promised not to engage in any battles, nor indiscriminately consume medicine, so matching in advance was still acceptable.
This reasoning was objectively valid. Although the Fire Marrow Pill’s matching is dynamic, for cultivators who have reached Qi Refining Peak, unless something significant happens, there generally wouldn’t be any major discrepancies.
However, Feng Jun picked out one disciple, stating that he was not suitable for matching with the Fire Marrow Pill because his kidneys were not only injured but also poisoned — kidneys belong to the Water Attribute, and during the treatment, the cultivator’s Water Attribute would change.
Such a severe attribute change is definitely unsuitable for matching at this moment.
Yet Chi Luan spoke up, "Mountain Master Feng, besides being good at matching elixirs, it seems you’re also proficient in healing?"
Feng Jun had no desire to take on unnecessary tasks, and replied in a deep voice, "I do know a little about healing and can ensure recovery, but the changes after healing have significant individual differences, which I cannot predict right now."
Truthfully, what he said wasn’t entirely accurate. While individual differences do objectively exist, he could simulate treatment on his mobile phone and attempt matching the Fire Marrow Pill afterward, resulting in a broadly accurate outcome.
But Feng Jun didn’t want to do so — if he is overly capable, how would others survive?
He no longer deliberately keeps a low profile, nor needs to endlessly boast about himself — if not for his caution and meticulous thinking, he might have already been carried into the Crimson Pheonix Sect by a pack of crazed women.
Chi Luan couldn’t determine if his statement was true or false, but given that it was spoken in front of so many, it was likely beyond questioning.
After waiting and noticing no one responded, she asked the Qi Refining Peak disciple, "Do you need Lord Feng to calculate a treatment plan for you? It is impossible to match you today."
"Thank you, Chi Luan," the Qi Refining Peak disciple was quite excited, "I wish to retain my matching spot."
He wasn’t foolish; even if Lord Feng’s healing skills were high, his injuries weren’t complicated, ordinary treatment would suffice. What truly mattered were the three thousand Spirit Stones’ worth of matching, which he absolutely couldn’t miss.
For this, he expressed, "After healing, I can wait. When the elders seek Mountain Master Feng in the future, just bring me along."
Chi Luan glanced at him, not fussing over his disobedience, merely saying lightly, "You do know how to seize opportunities. It seems that in the future... we will have to create a three-thousand-spirit-stone token."
This time for treatment and matching, she didn’t intend to use tokens; direct Spirit Stone transactions were fine. After Feng Jun left, using tokens for bookkeeping would still be timely.
However, Feng Jun expressed, "This time, just give me the token. I’m not lacking Spirit Stones. What truly matters is some of your Crimson Pheonix Sect’s internal products, which I cannot buy outside. Offering them at seventy percent off is also beneficial to me."
Cai Luan immediately opposed, "Mountain Master Feng, you might not know, many of our Crimson Pheonix Sect’s internal products have low margins and are forbidden from outside sale. Selling some to you is our gesture, but if you buy excessively, it would be inappropriate."
This wasn’t intended to be difficult, but an honest statement. Crimson Pheonix Sect indeed has some goods with inflated value, but they are generic types, like Large Storage Bags, Spirit Dust Gathering Array Plates, etc.; while many sect cultivation resources indeed have low margins.
Feng Jun glanced at Chi Luan and noticed she had no intention of speaking, so he laughed and replied, "Actually, giving me all Spirit Stones, I don’t mind either. I only hope that these Spirit Stones are taken from Crimson Pheonix and used in Crimson Pheonix as well."
A cultivator laughed at this, thinking Feng Jun amusing, "The resources you’ve exchanged are also from Crimson Pheonix; doesn’t that count as resources? Mountain Master Feng, these resources are very hard to buy with Spirit Stones in the outside world."
She believed he was confusing concepts — Crimson Pheonix would rather let him earn Spirit Stones!
"Qing Xuan Senior Sister doesn’t need to say anymore," Chi Luan spoke softly, "Crimson Pheonix can use sect materials to maintain a good relationship with Mountain Master Feng, it’s a win-win... Of course, Mountain Master Feng wouldn’t buy resources that would make us uncomfortable, right?"
"That’s for sure," Feng Jun nodded, "Personally, I really dislike trouble. If some difficulty arises due to pricing, we can discuss it further... I feel it necessary to emphasize again, Chi Luan would be an extremely outstanding head." freёweɓnovel_com
This is heartfelt; Chi Luan truly possesses the qualities of a great leader.
Chi Luan smiled, feeling very honored by such praise in front of so many Crimson Pheonix disciples, "Well then, my fellow disciples have been waiting a long time. Can we begin now?"
For this calculation and matching, everyone made the necessary preparations, especially as everyone heard that Feng Jun’s calculations require items as basis, so many cultivators brought a lot of extra material for Feng Jun to select.
This directly led to an increase in Feng Jun’s workload, even though in his mobile phone the matching doesn’t show externally, but with such a large workload, he felt overwhelmed, even with a small program to assist.
Thus, the twenty-seven High-Rank cultivators and twenty-nine Qi Refining disciples took him a full ten days.
His gains were twenty-seven thousand Spirits, along with twenty-seven crimson tokens edged with four gold lines, and twenty-nine tokens with three gold lines.
As for the results, he assigned the appropriate quantity of Fire Marrow Pills to twenty-nine Qi Refining disciples, and assured healing for twenty-one High-Rank cultivators, suppression and mitigation of injuries for three, but for the other two... he was truly sorry.
However, there’s nothing he can do. "Incurable" isn’t just talk; healing these two would require legendary Natural Treasures to have any chance, and the Crimson Pheonix Sect couldn’t provide them. Feng Jun didn’t have relevant data, not even able to calculate a result.
The only thing he could do was choose some medicines to help delay the inevitable as long as possible.
Of course, having these results was considered quite good. At least, no one thought Feng Jun was undeserving of his reputation.
The most surprising was the twenty-seventh High-Rank cultivator.
This was a male cultivator, and Feng Jun straightforwardly stated—this person, I refuse to calculate. The payment still needs to be received, as he comes from Netherworld Mountain.
When the words "Netherworld Mountain" left his mouth, the red ring was immediately raised by Chi Luan with the Divine Sense reminder from Feng Jun, and three different lights fell in succession: "Constrain", "Deprive", "Disperse"!
This was a heavy weapon from the Enforcement Hall of the Crimson Pheonix Sect. The white light of "Constrain" could restrict the physical body, the yellow light of "Deprive" could strip away the ability to circulate Spiritual Energy within, and the green light of "Disperse" drives away any potential Techniques and Talismans.
Chi Luan, being from the Enforcement Hall, should’ve handed over this weapon upon assuming the lesser leadership position, but the enforcement elder wanted to be lazy and said, you continue to serve as Hall Master. Normally, the vice-Hall Master runs the affairs, you’re her solid backing.
Chi Luan didn’t mind this request. Some said the lesser leadership meant overseeing everything, but it also might mean overseeing nothing. If she manages the affairs, she can also demonstrate her presence through the Enforcement Hall.
Like now, she could act directly to suppress a potential spy.
The male cultivator was initially startled, then wailed desperately, "Wronged! I’m wronged!"
The female cultivators present also raised a commotion at the sound. Someone from Netherworld Mountain infiltrated the sect—that’s actually the headquarters of the Yinsha Sect!
There’s no need to mention the relationship between the Yinsha Sect and the Crimson Pheonix Sect. You Longzi didn’t hesitate to break through the gate of the courtyard where the Crimson Pheonix disciples were, and he did so twice, Bai Luan and Hei Luan similarly retaliating swiftly.
It was all daily disputes. Just look at Yan Beifeng’s injuries—both sides were severely wounded.
No need to mention that the Crimson Pheonix Sect still shelters Thunder cultivators from Thunder Plains.
If these two sects had a substantive conflict, it could escalate violently.
Thus, the Yinsha Sect stipulated that any resident within 50,000 miles of the Crimson Pheonix Sect is not accepted as their disciple.
The Crimson Pheonix Sect retaliated in kind, barring anyone within 100,000 miles around Netherworld Mountain from joining their sect.
Actually, this ban by the Crimson Pheonix doesn’t stop more people than the opponent, as one side of Netherworld Mountain is bordered by the vast Perennial Ice Mountain, which is uninhabitable, let alone being Yinsha Sect’s forbidden ground.
In short, Feng Jun’s remark was like stirring up a hornet’s nest.
The furious female cultivators surrounded the constrained male cultivator, verbally abusing him incessantly.
Nevertheless, this male cultivator was somewhat handsome and had decent relations within the sect.
Thus, some female cultivators asked him, why do you plead innocence—is it because Feng’s calculation was wrong?
Feng Jun remained silent, merely staring at him with a very faint cold smile.
The male cultivator originally wanted to defend himself, but seeing that smile, he was genuinely doubtful—this person’s calculation skills were terrifyingly accurate.
Therefore, he could only express, I was indeed born within Netherworld Mountain, but my father had already died in battle by the time I was born, and the sect’s various benefits were revoked, leaving only the meager compensation which was seized by my father’s other women.
So his mother left Netherworld Mountain with him when he was three years old, because the Yinsha Sect treated them too ruthlessly, leading them to wander far away.
Later, his mother died by the mouth of a poisonous snake, and he became an orphan, unexpectedly attracting the attention of the Crimson Pheonix Sect.
