Chapter 2053: Chapter 2055: Gaining Fire and Seeking Water

Feng Jun wasn’t very concerned about Mei Yeyu’s debt repayment plan, mainly because he admired this person very much.

Moreover, he had quite a few of those rare materials himself, and just needed to buy a bit more from Tiantong, and it would be enough.

In the end, the flying sword was repaired to a decent degree, except for one process, which was to enhance the connection between the flying sword and Mei Yeyu.

This didn’t seem very difficult, but in fact, it was almost like reconstruction, requiring a lotus pod from a "Seventeen-Hole Sword Heart Lotus."

The Sword Heart Lotus is also a rare treasure; besides being needed by sword cultivators, it can also be used for healing and detoxification.

There were no Seventeen-Hole Sword Heart Lotuses on the Kunhao Plane. Feng Jun asked Gu Yue, who explained that although the Taiqing Sect had many sword cultivators, the treasures in the sect’s store included one Twenty-One-Hole Sword Heart Lotus, two Nineteen-Hole ones, and then Fifteen-Hole and Thirteen-Hole ones below that.

The Nineteen-Hole Sword Heart Lotus could also achieve the effect, but it was a bit wasteful. As for the Twenty-One-Hole... Mei Yeyu might not be able to handle it.

The Taiqing Sect indeed had some foundations, but Gu Yue said that if White Pebble Beach needed a Nineteen-Hole Sword Heart Lotus, he would spare no face to help obtain it, but for people from the Mei Family... "You might as well ask Tianqin, it shouldn’t be difficult to get."

It turned out that such things were not easy to obtain in Tianqin either; for sword cultivators, it was considered a strategic resource, and if not careful, it could be snatched by others—importantly, after being taken, it might not necessarily be used to cultivate sword cultivators but could be used to make medicine.

However, when Moran heard about this, he said he’d take care of it, and after going to East City for half a month, he found the goods. No wonder the higher realm is indeed superior, as Moran, a steward in East City, could easily find something that the entire Kunhao couldn’t.

Feng Jun now brought it out, settling a matter at last.

"The usual practice, put it on my tab," Mei Yeyu was also quite straightforward, turned to leave, but finally did not forget to say, "Thank you!"

For a proud sword cultivator like him, to say those two words was already quite remarkable.

Feng Jun was just about to check how his people were cultivating when he suddenly had an insight and turned to walk towards a teahouse beside the Martial Practice Field in the front yard.

The Martial Practice Field in the front yard was prepared for those cauldron seedlings. Since Feng Jun took in these people, he naturally would also take on the corresponding obligations, training rooms, martial practice fields, and such were all available. Of course, these cauldron seedlings also had to put in the corresponding labor.

In this teahouse, he could drink tea while watching them cultivate.

However, in actuality, this place had a hidden function. When a master came to the manor, the big boss would hide here—after all, this was just a bunch of minor cultivators, not even at the Qi Refinement Realm, who would care about a bunch of mundane ants?

As Feng Jun walked into the room, a sharp-eyed cauldron seedling had already rushed in, "What tea does the Mountain Master want to drink?"

Feng Jun ordered tea, then naturally placed his hand on the table, communicating with the big boss in the drawer, "Did you summon me?"

The boss’s subtle divine sense flowed through the table and palm into Feng Jun’s sea of consciousness, "There are quite a few True Immortals here this time, huh."

"There are quite a few; your divine sense control is truly admirable," Feng Jun knew his own affairs; to achieve the level of control by the boss, one would at least need to reach the Nascent Soul Stage; it was impossible in the Golden Core Stage, "What exactly do you want to say?"

He didn’t believe that the boss would risk notifying him just for a chat. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"That not male nor female person... are they from the Jinwu Sect?" The boss wanted to chat a bit more, but ultimately got to the point, "They have good stuff on them; if they’re from the Jinwu Sect, it might be a Fire Attribute Primordial Embryo. Ask them how many elements it is."

"Do we need it this powerful?" Feng Jun was startled upon hearing this, "Senior, though you’re a bit cautious, your actual power is truly scary."

The One-Element Fire Embryo was still on Wan Qing, a True Immortal, and it could be confirmed that it was definitely in a protected, sealed state. The boss could perceive this and also had to ensure no one else discovered it, which was incredibly difficult.

"What do you think?" The boss replied smugly, "If not for the sake of safety, I could do much more... go ask them; if it’s a One-Element Fire Embryo, see how it could be sold."

Feng Jun paused to ask, "If it’s a Two-Element Fire Embryo, should I still ask the price?"

"If it’s Two-Elements..." The boss hesitated as well and after a while answered, "It’s a bit superfluous, but also ask the price."

"Alright, stop messing around," Feng Jun didn’t care to tease it further, "I’ve heard it’s a One-Element Fire Embryo; how many spirit stones do you think would be a fair price?"

"Spirit stones... that’s hard to say, you’d need to use higher-grade spirit stones," the boss answered, troubled, "I don’t have many of those higher-grade spirit stones myself. Otherwise, once the Earth Spirit finishes guiding the spirit vein, I could trade the Earth Spirit with them, and let them compensate us with some more higher-grade spirit stones."

The value of a One-Element Fire Embryo ultimately doesn’t surpass that of a Fire Spirit, and among the Five Elements Spirits, the Earth Spirit has the broadest application range and the most stable value—after all, who among cultivators can do without earth veins, spirit veins, and spirit stones?

The big boss wants to exchange an Earth Spirit for a One-Element Fire Embryo; it seems the Fire Embryo is really important to it.

However, Feng Jun would definitely not agree, "The Earth Spirit is mine; I won’t sell it... Just tell me its value."

The big boss was silent for a while before saying, "If it really is a One-Element Fire Embryo, shall we find a chance to quietly take out this guy? Don’t worry, I’ll make the move, I’ll conceal the aura, and you just need to gather information... Maybe your spatial ability will come into play."

Feng Jun was speechless immediately; a One-Element Fire Embryo is so sought-after that even someone as cautious as the big boss is considering murder for treasure?

Thinking that this item might fall to White Pebble Beach in the future, his mood grew even heavier, wondering if he would really face a lot of contention.

Unable to hold back his thoughts, he asked, "Do you really lack that little? Can’t we just buy it?"

"Middle-grade spirits can’t be bought," the big boss’s attitude was very clear, "I have some treasures that could indeed be exchanged, but those treasures could cause risks if taken out... Do you think I like this situation?"

Feng Jun pondered and said, "Oh, I think it’s better not to resort to violence if we can help it. After all, the Crimson Phoenix Sect has a request of me, and I can figure out a way to obtain a One-Element Fire Embryo... Even if he brings a Two-Element Fire Embryo, I can still look for the Jinwu Sect."

Initially, he just wanted to joke and pretend to be impressive, but the big boss’s attitude made him realize he might as well sell a favor—for the big boss has tricked him more than once, and squeezing some benefits out of him wouldn’t be a bad deal.

The key is that the big boss has a lot of good stuff in his hands; it would be a real shame not to take advantage of it.

"Alright then," the big boss was quite excited, "If you can get a One-Element Fire Embryo, I definitely won’t treat you poorly... Half of the success is already achieved."

"We’re in this together; there’s no talk of not treating someone well," Feng Jun remarked with modesty, but then suddenly became puzzled, "Half of the success? What’s the meaning of the other half... Senior, what do you mean by success?"

"With the One-Element Fire Embryo in hand, the next thing is obviously a One-Element Water Embryo, combining water and fire," the big boss was very pleased, "Next, you’ll visit Xuanshui Sect to obtain a One-Element Water Embryo, and I’ll be able to grow more... Meh-hoh-hoh-hoh."

"Xuanshui Sect doesn’t even have a branch in Kunhao, alright?" Feng Jun’s face scrunched up like a cooked eggplant, "To go and get a One-Element Water Embryo... Maybe it’d be better to take out a True Immortal from Xuanshui Sect if he carries one."

"Talking about killing a True Immortal so casually?" The big boss’s mood was noticeably better, even pausing the aggressive policy, "With the Fire Embryo secured, the rest can come slowly; I’m in no rush, and I’m confident you can handle Xuanshui Sect."

Feng Jun silently grumbled to himself, not knowing anyone from Xuanshui Sect, but said nothing further.

The next day, Master Buzui and Master Qingya came to visit together; the spirit veins of Tianxin Platform and Wuyou Platform had already been set up, and the courtyard was repaired. The Peak Dust cultivators couldn’t hold back and wanted to form their cores.

They just wanted to ask Feng Jun if they could arrange for the disciples to form their cores.

Of course, this was not only an application to the landlord; they also hoped that Feng Jun could be present for the core formation ceremony.

"I can’t intervene in core formation repeatedly," Feng Jun’s stance was clear, "Moreover, I am now at the Golden Core Stage, and the cause-and-effect of intervening in core formation would be heavier, and... I’m only at the first layer of the Golden Core, I’m not even sure I can withstand it myself."

There are rules here: intervention by those at the Golden Core Stage during core formation has heavier consequences compared to intervention by Peak Dust cultivators. Just the backlash from a Golden Core intervention could likely be fatal for the intervener.

Back then, why Master Crimson Blood intervened in Feng Jun’s core formation was different; he accepted the cause-and-effect, not caring mentally—he wasn’t planning to form a Nascent Soul, so why worry about cause-and-effect?

In terms of backlash, he felt he didn’t need to worry—even if there was some backlash, the ninth layer of the Golden Core could handle it.

Now, Feng Jun considering intervention in core formation brings an imminent backlash issue, plus the need to bear cause-and-effect.

Feng Jun was not overly concerned about backlash; he was more worried about cause-and-effect, hence his reluctance to get involved.

He sincerely suggested, "You should wait a few more days; there are quite a few things happening at White Pebble Beach right now. I estimate I need to go to Tianqin again... It’s not that I’m flaunting, I really have to go, because True Immortal Wan Qing and True Immortal Wu Xiu have descended to oversee my return."

There was too much unsuitable to say, so he could only explain it this way.

Master Qingya’s eyes rolled and she smiled, saying, "It seems the beauty trap doesn’t work either. I told them Wuyou Platform shouldn’t send me, this old woman, to negotiate with you."

Feng Jun helplessly slapped his forehead, speaking frankly, "Master Qingya, it’s best not to joke like this. I’m truly not the person everyone says I am... I suggest pushing the core formation ceremony back a bit."

"Of course, if you want to return to your place to form your cores, that’s fine, but recently, White Pebble Beach really isn’t convenient."
