Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2052 - 2054: Kunhao Can’t Take It Anymore

Is it really just five? Feng Jun was a bit taken aback, thinking that this was a hefty price to pay.

In fact, he didn’t make the offer lightly. Although a One Element Fire Embryo is priceless, as a Cultivator, there are other ways to evaluate it. For example, a deduction opportunity is roughly equivalent to thirty years of care from a Golden Core Peak Cultivator.

Considering that a Golden Core Peak Cultivator might not be willing to provide care for so long, like Master Yuan, who would prefer to offer care after forming a Nascent Soul, then a deduction opportunity is roughly equivalent to thirty years of care at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage.

This valuation is certainly not without some exaggeration, but Feng Jun could still believe: five deduction opportunities for forming a Nascent Soul are roughly equal to 150 years of care at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage; it’s fairly close anyway.

Is 150 years of care at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage worth a One Element Fire Embryo? This... is difficult to measure.

Can the value of Yi Jue True Immortal’s Nascent Soul Initial Stage be the same as Duanmu Guzhu’s Nascent Soul Initial Stage?

Nevertheless, for most Nascent Souls who have no hope of breaking through, exchanging 150 years of care for a One Element Fire Embryo is still worth it.

Especially since there are five slots available, different people can provide care. If there are five Nascent Souls in a faction, none of them would really delay their cultivation. Each one provides care for thirty years, and there you have it—a One Element Fire Embryo! So worth it!

So Feng Jun knew in his heart that his asking price seemed a bit high, but if researched seriously, the high price wasn’t just a little bit—it was quite significant. A faction with five Golden Core Peak Cultivators, each providing care for thirty years, can easily obtain a One Element Fire Embryo?

Let’s not joke around!

So if it’s measured purely by the number of deductions, Feng Jun believes that ten attempts at forming a Nascent Soul are a more reasonable estimate, and it could even be extended to ten successful attempts—after all, failures at forming a Nascent Soul are bound to happen.

How could he have thought that the other party would agree just like that? So he couldn’t help but ask, "You’re not going to bargain?"

Wan Qing True Immortal shook her head with a smile, "No bargaining, maintaining enough friendship with Mountain Master Feng is the most important for my Jinwu Sect, the rest is not worth mentioning."

"Then I won’t take advantage of you," Feng Jun promptly reversed his decision, "Ten deduction opportunities... failures at forming a Nascent Soul don’t count!"

"No need," Wan Qing True Immortal shook her head, smiling softly, "If I said five, then it’s five. Of course, if you’re unhappy because of this, ten is fine too. The key is that you’re happy."

"Then ten it is," Feng Jun nodded, speaking seriously, "I always believe, when it comes to financial matters between brothers, small accounts can be unclear, but big ones are better off clear. What do you think, Wan Qing True Immortal?"

"I told you, as long as you’re happy," Wan Qing True Immortal smiled graciously, then pouted a little, "To have such precise distinctions feels a bit hurtful... Can my Jinwu’s Golden Core Peak go to White Pebble Beach for Mortal World experience before forming a Nascent Soul?"

"Sure," Feng Jun nodded begrudgingly, what nonsense of Mortal World experience, it was clearly to brush up on the years of guarding duty—Xia Nichang had already said that after reaching the ninth level of Golden Core, preparing for one or two hundred years for forming a Nascent Soul is quite normal.

However, he didn’t mind these friendly factions sending people to White Pebble Beach, "If your Golden Core wishes to go to White Pebble Beach, I welcome them. If they wish to convert it into care time, just register then... Of course, it would be best not to have too many people."

"Alright, it’s a deal then," Wan Qing True Immortal nodded with a heartfelt smile, genuinely happy.

The Jinwu Sect attached great importance to deductions from Feng Jun—strictly speaking, it was the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer Elder Qing Ji True Immortal, originally from the Crimson Phoenix Sect, who placed great importance on her relationship with Feng Jun.

She had left the Crimson Phoenix Sect for over a thousand years, but whenever Crimson Phoenix achieved something significant and wanted to seek praise upwards, they wouldn’t forget to inform her, and Master Ranyun was her disciple. Because of this, Xia Nichang was relatively close to Ranyun.

Qing Ji True Immortal generally avoided any appearance of favoritism, but for truly good news—like a trio of four-hundred-year-old transcendent Rongxun forming their cores, she wouldn’t hesitate to publicize it. As for others’ attention to it, it’s one thing, but her attention is absolute.

If not uncertain about Feng Jun’s ability to deduce forming a Nascent Soul, she might even personally have gotten involved.

Wan Qing True Immortal worked under Elder Qing Ji and knew her determination. He himself also held great optimism for Feng Jun, hoping his sect’s Golden Core would foster a good relationship with him.

Wan Qing True Immortal also understood that many Golden Core Disciples of his sect had lofty ambitions, and they might not take White Pebble Beach to heart until they were truly desperate, so he was genuinely delighted to reach this kind of open verbal agreement with Feng Jun.

With this matter settled, it was time to continue the prior topic, "Then, can we consider deductions at the Millennium Magma Pool?"

"Then let it be the Millennium Magma Pool," Feng Jun nodded, as the nature of the Blazing Flame Plate was similar to the Yi Yao Plate, he felt secure on Taixu’s territory and wasn’t worried about going to Jinwu’s territory.

He even said, "Let’s go to the Blazing Flame Plate first, then I’ll descend with Daoist Nie."

"That won’t do," Gu Yue and Nie Chifeng shook their heads in unison, "We’ll bring deductive treasures down and need to return again." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Feng Jun chuckled silently, "How did I forget this? Alright, shall we leave now?"

This time descending to the lower realm, it wasn’t just the people of the Jinwu who followed along; True Immortals Wu Xiu and Wan Qing also had to go down separately, after all, they needed to protect the treasures, and Master Yuan also expressed a desire to wander around.

Only Master Moran apologized sincerely, saying, "I really don’t have time to go down, I need to collect treasures."

This time, when Feng Jun descended upon White Pebble Beach with his entourage, it caused quite a stir. Not to mention, the abrupt arrival of three True Immortals in the Kunhao Realm without even showing themselves caused intense spiritual energy fluctuations over a range of hundreds of miles.

Yue Qing, Master Buzui, and the others were shocked, all looking towards the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations, and the siblings Gongyang Youyu and Gongyang Youqing flew straight over, "What’s the situation... three, three True Immortals?"

Feng Jun’s group appeared, and he raised his hand to greet everyone around, "It’s me returning, everyone, don’t panic."

In fact, every time he left or returned, he was quite low-key, but this time, with three True Immortals entering Kunhao together, even the domain couldn’t handle it, causing such a big reaction that he had to step forward.

Under the greetings of Xia Nichang and Master Guyue, the Taiqing and Crimson Pheonix disciples happily recognized their own True Immortals, and as for True Immortal Yi Jue returning to Feng Jun’s manor, no one found it inappropriate.

Upon returning on the same day, it was not appropriate for Feng Jun to perform divinations for Xia Nichang and Master Guyue. Although crossing the domain didn’t take long, it would still cause some impact on a cultivator’s body, so they decided to perform the divination three days later.

However, Feng Jun didn’t idle upon his return. Mei Yeyu came over, "Mountain Master Feng, the Seventeen-Hole Sword Heart Lotus... did you find it?"

"I found it," Feng Jun nodded. He only learned this after performing a divination for Mei Yeyu, discovering that this guy’s flying sword was damaged.

After reaching the peak of the mortal stage, Mei Yeyu actually went into the Burning Desert to slay the Sand Jiao. The Sand Jiao is, after all, a Golden Core Demon Beast.

At the beginning, he had some inkling, knowing it was a juvenile Jiao before deciding to enter the desert to slay it. The juvenile Jiao’s combat power was relatively weak, roughly at the quasi-Golden Core level. The key point was its tough skin and thick flesh, making it difficult to kill.

Mei Yeyu went through countless hardships, slaying the juvenile Jiao until it was just holding onto its last breath, when an adult Jiao charged over. Mei Yeyu was unwilling to give up the spoils that were almost in his hands, so he charged at the adult Jiao.

In the intermediate level of the mortal stage, he already could battle Golden Core, but it was merely "could battle." By the peak of the mortal stage, he had the strength to slay Golden Core; however, the Sand Jiao wasn’t an ordinary demon beast, covered with a thick layer of sand like armor.

Moreover, this sand wasn’t just from the desert, it was secreted by the Sand Jiao itself, and generally, even a Golden Core couldn’t break through its defense.

And Mei Yeyu, being a sword cultivator, wielded a treasure-weapon-level longsword that could only leave white marks on the sand.

But he chose to fight instead of fleeing, leaving no room for retreat; otherwise, not only would he perish, but his companions would not survive either.

Mei Yeyu nurtured his life-bound flying sword. Originally, this flying sword was meant to be used only at the Golden Core stage, but he prided himself on his talent, having used it twice during the mortal stage. He later found that with careful maintenance, it wouldn’t be an issue, so he brandished his flying sword to slay the Jiao.

The life-bound flying sword was ultimately different; with one slash, it cut through its skin, though the damage wasn’t deep, and the Sand Jiao was enraged, chasing after him.

In the end, his companions took advantage, killing the juvenile Jiao, gathering their things, and fled, while he was chased by the Sand Jiao through hell and high water. The life-bound flying sword was not only severely damaged but also had a penetrating wound, almost breaking.

For Mei Yeyu, the damage to himself was a minor issue; the damage to his life-bound flying sword was a major problem, especially since he was only in the mortal stage, he shouldn’t have been nurturing a flying sword—forming a sword embryo was enough, let alone using a flying sword in combat.

After all, this is the problem with geniuses; they can’t be persuaded, always challenging records or their limits.

Now, not only did he use the flying sword, but it also got damaged. He basically had no idea how to repair this thing—a damaged flying sword at the Golden Core stage was very daunting.

Mei Yeyu, after feeling the pain and reflecting, finally realized his arrogance and became more low-key, to the point that for a long time, many clans at Sword Forging Peak thought he had already perished.

It wasn’t until Feng Jun went to find Mei Jiushan that he showed up once, by which time he had already healed, but the flying sword was still recovering very slowly.

After Feng Jun publicly helped Guan Hongxiu condense the core, Mei Yeyu received a message from Mei Jiushan and decisively came to Mountain Master Feng, asking him to help divining the repairs of his flying sword.

Feng Jun was good to his own people; although Mei Jiushan was just working to pay off debt, Feng Jun still helped Mei Yeyu with the divination for free—in fact, at this point, he was more interested in some "troublesome issues."

The result of the divination was, of course, that the flying sword could be repaired, but it required some costly materials. Mei Yeyu didn’t want this embarrassing matter to be known by more people, so he hoped to borrow money from Feng Jun to buy the materials.

As for repaying the debt, he didn’t mention working—mainly because if he did, his entire Golden Core stage would be spent at White Pebble Beach.

So he said he could calculate it as work for now, and once his health was fully restored, he would consider earning spirit stones to repay the debt.
