Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2037 - 2039: Moran’s Intentions

Hearing "three-in-one contract," Feng Jun couldn’t help but snort, "That Master Guyue really has a quick tongue."

Yi Jue, the True Immortal, had no interest in discussing Gu Yue and straightforwardly stated, "I know you value this contract highly. I don’t mean to force a purchase; I just want to talk about this concept. If you sell me this contract, I swear by my Dao Heart not to disclose it."

"If you guarantee not to disclose it, then there’s no need to sell it to you," Feng Jun, deep down, is rather candid.

Since the other party spoke clearly, he plainly stated, "I’ll make a copy for you, but you’ll have to figure out the logic yourself... Analyzing it on your own actually helps improve oneself the most."

Yi Jue, the True Immortal, truly wanted to exchange ideas with him, but since he said that personal analysis yields the most, she, being a prideful person, wouldn’t insist. Instead, she stated, "It’s not acceptable to receive this for free..."

After a pause, she made an offer, "I’ll get you some Substitute Soul Puppets, at least two Golden Core Stage ones and one Nascent Soul Stage one... You can’t refuse!"

The contract’s value was already above the three-in-one agreement. Although Feng Jun wasn’t sure of the exact price of the Substitute Soul Puppets, he understood value analysis.

So he shook his head, "No need for the Substitute Soul Puppets... It’s not that I’m not giving you face, but I have no use for them. Just get me some Mirror Talismans; twenty Golden Core ones and five Nascent Soul ones if you have them."

"You know about Mirror Talismans too?" Yi Jue, the True Immortal, was a bit surprised, "I was using Mirror Talismans when analyzing Si Ganlin, over a hundred of them. It’s fortunate I was sparing; most people can’t afford it."

Feng Jun was quietly taken aback; over a hundred Nascent Soul Level Mirror Talismans? Not just anyone could afford that kind of wealth.

Yi Jue, the True Immortal, could guess what he was thinking, but she had no intention of discussing it and instead frowned, "I was already planning to prepare some Mirror Talismans for you, but you also need the Substitute Soul Puppets... they can be life-saving in critical moments."

"Really don’t need, " Feng Jun laughed and shook his head, "My means of survival are stronger than anyone else’s. Remember? Last time, when a Dao-seeking True Immortal set a trap for me in East City’s Yiyao, I evaded it. Later, I moved reinforcements from Lingzhi Dao... and I was still in the Out of Mundane Stage then."

Yi Jue, the True Immortal, certainly remembered this incident, and she was quite impressed with Feng Jun’s spatial transposition abilities. Breaking through space wasn’t difficult; she could do it herself, but the distance was limited and was incomparable to Feng Jun’s incredible range.

Thinking of this, she even wanted to further inquire about how he managed such long-distance transpositions, but as a Nascent Soul Cultivator herself, grabbing hold of a Golden Core Stage—especially a newly advanced one—and probing endlessly was beneath her True Immortal dignity.

So this matter could be postponed. The specific circumstances could be discussed later, "I know your evasion skills are top-tier, but you still need the Substitute Soul Puppets. How about this... a compromise, two Golden Core Stage Substitute Soul Puppets, no less."

"Pine Cypress Peak... The Yan Family also plans to give me a Substitute Soul Puppet," Feng Jun didn’t think she’d know about Pine Cypress Peak, so he just clarified it was "the Yan Family," "but I really don’t need it... why be courteous with you?"

The comment was a bit disrespectful to a True Immortal, but Yi Jue, the True Immortal, didn’t mind the offense. Only a scholar understands another scholar; in a scholar’s eyes, fighting ability is secondary; what’s crucial are the ideas.

She thought for a moment and nodded, "Now that you mentioned the Yan Family, I remember them. But their strength is quite lacking, and even one Golden Core Stage Substitute Soul Puppet is a burden to them. Your refusal was right, but for me... what’s a Golden Core Stage Substitute Soul Puppet?"

After a pause, she seriously spoke, "How about this, I’ll make another concession, a Golden Core Stage Substitute Soul Puppet... and you can’t refuse it. This has nothing to do with pride; it’s just that if something happens to you, I won’t have anyone to discuss these deductions with."

"You should understand the loneliness of genius... even when you advance to Nascent Soul, your subordinates will need it."

Hearing about his subordinates’ safety, Feng Jun couldn’t insist any longer. His constant worry was about Sister Hong and their self-preservation ability. He hesitated a moment, then nodded, "Alright, you’ve convinced me, but I only want one. Have someone send it over later."

"Come with me later to get it," Yi Jue, the True Immortal, indeed had a strong sense of execution and seriously remarked, "Your long-distance transpositions break through domains, making round trips easy... According to my deductions, you should manage that."

"I somewhat regret coming here to Kunhao Realm myself; I should have had you fetch me. Instead, I brought Moran along, increasing my travel costs... Really burned through Spirit Stones, although, like you, I packed him into the Spirit Beast Bag."

Master Moran really deserves sympathy! Feng Jun’s mouth twitched, "Actually... long-distance transpositions also cost me a lot of Spirit Stones."

"Definitely not as much as I spend!" Yi Jue, the True Immortal, confidently stated and casually patted his shoulder, "Get ready, we’ll leave after setting off some fireworks. Oh, by the way, these fireworks are nice, could you give me some?"

As expected, she really goes about things so candidly, but actually, she had no intention of taking advantage. Whether from common sense or analysis, she figured out that—these fireworks are quite lovely, but they’re really just mundane items.

As for a mere mundane item, how could she compensate with Spirit Stones? She might as well just ask directly.

Feng Jun wasn’t bothered; the fireworks worth twenty million, using five million today, and giving the rest to Yi Jue True Immortal was fine—however, for five million worth of goods, that should be enough, right?

He was somewhat reluctant to part with the current environment, "The drizzle is soothing, let me enjoy it for a couple of days, why the rush?"

"We’ll be back soon, it won’t take long," Yi Jue True Immortal sometimes acted rather domineering, "I know you like being in the rain, and this rain was prayed for with the Rain Prayer Array. When we return, I’ll make it rain at White Pebble Beach for two months straight, how about that?"

"But..." Feng Jun hesitated, "I can’t be away for too long, I have some concerns you don’t understand."

"Don’t worry, it will be quick," Yi Jue True Immortal assured him smoothly, "I have the opening mantra for the Lingzhi Treasury, no need to contact the Dao Master. I can take the items as I please, it won’t take much time."

Feng Jun’s mouth twitched slightly, "Having a big backer... really is sheltering."

Yi Jue True Immortal was indeed efficient; two hours later, nearing midnight, she came looking for Feng Jun, accompanied by Master Moran, "Almost ready?"

"It’s almost ready," Feng Jun looked up, taking a deep breath, "Feeling the moist air, I feel much more relaxed... Why has Master Moran come?"

"Sending him back as well," Yi Jue True Immortal took out a Spirit Beast Bag, clearly Golden Core Level, and looked at Master Moran, "Get in... voluntarily, or do you need me to act?"

Master Moran appeared somewhat resistant, yet dared not refuse, meekly expressed, "Auntie, I... am not in a hurry to leave, would like to stay at White Pebble Beach a bit longer."

"This... I can testify," Feng Jun spoke earnestly, "Master Moran isn’t in a hurry to leave."

Yi Jue True Immortal wasn’t someone ordinary; instead of getting angry, she pondered for a while and then thoughtfully asked, "Moran, do you want Friend Feng to... help you deduce the Nascent Soul formation?"

Moran looked visibly embarrassed, indeed harboring such intentions; otherwise, he might not have come to Kunhao—Feng Jun was indeed worth befriending, but he was busy overseeing a city on Tianqin Plane.

Learning that three Ascending Masters at White Pebble Beach have succeeded in Pillar Formation one after another, he couldn’t help but pay attention, thus he asked Feng Jun if he could help deduce the Nascent Soul formation, Feng Jun agreed, saying he wouldn’t definitely answer outsiders, but wouldn’t deceive him.

Thus, Master Moran came, using Yi Jue True Immortal’s Spirit Beast Bag for the journey, planning to return at his own expense—for someone to help with the deduction, a little money is hardly a matter, isn’t it?

However, he couldn’t reveal such thoughts, especially being a disciple of the Taixu Sect.

As a disciple of Taixu, he was expected to handle forming the pillar and shaping the Nascent Soul naturally.

Master Moran knows deep down, far more fail in forming the pillar than succeed, and the failure rate for Nascent Soul formation is even higher. Everyone praises Taixu disciples, but that’s only the surface; no one notices the failing disciples.

Moran longs for success, confident he can succeed in Nascent Soul formation, but...who can guarantee it?

He wants an assurance for his success by having Feng Jun help deduce it, an obvious choice, but doesn’t want fellow disciples to find out—once word gets out, those in the know may appreciate his thoroughness, but what if someone takes it the wrong way?

He’s here under the guise of attending the Golden Core celebration, not sharing his intentions with anyone, not even Yi Jue True Immortal.

Now Yi Jue True Immortal wanted to take him away, he couldn’t hide it anymore—he can’t make another trip just for this.

Understanding his thoughts, Yi Jue True Immortal found it both amusing and exasperating, "Seeking extra assurance, what’s there to hide? As a disciple of Taixu, why be so secretive?"

Master Moran felt somewhat aggrieved, "Auntie, not everyone is as prodigiously talented as you. If I progress vigorously, it would encourage fellow disciples."

"It’s the burden of vanity," Yi Jue True Immortal snorted lightly, then glanced at Feng Jun, "When you deduce his Nascent Soul formation in Kunhao, have you considered domain differences? I think it’s better to deduce it on Tianqin, he definitely wouldn’t form his Nascent Soul in Kunhao."

"I’ve considered," Feng Jun nodded, the key was Moran sought him out, "Just trying to deduce it in Kunhao first, then on Tianqin, comparing the two to find a suitable plan."

"Ah," Yi Jue True Immortal’s eyes brightened, "Then I’ll help him deduce it, and we can exchange insights."
