Chapter 554 -554: Threading a Needle to Ascend in Rank

Feng Jun returned to the Earth Realm once again and began a new round of attempts. This time, he was constructing an Array of Hazy Entrapment—thanks to the help of Master Yan, he managed to gather all the materials needed for the illusion array.

The construction of this entrapment array was extremely difficult. He spent a total of eleven days and failed nearly twenty times before he successfully activated the array.

As for the effect, it was actually quite good, the consumption of spirit stones was very slow—of course, for the entrapment array to function, energy support was necessary, and the consumption of spirit stones was inevitable. Anyway, Feng Jun couldn’t figure out how to replace spirit stones with electricity.

After observing for a day and a night, he discovered that the spirit stones inside the array also attracted a bit of spiritual energy, and because of this additional energy, the Array of Hazy Entrapment’s function became somewhat stronger.

Next, he had a hefty task ahead, which was to figure out how to enlarge the entrapment array—it would be best if it could cover the entire valley bamboo forest.

He wasn’t very confident about this prospect, especially since the Hidden Formation he had previously could only be enlarged to less than one hundred square meters. However, experiments still had to be done; otherwise, he would feel somewhat reluctant.

His pressure wasn’t too great, though. Even if the results were not very satisfactory, he could accept it—due to the terrain, there were only four paths that led to the valley bamboo forest.

Besides the main path, those three didn’t really count as paths, they were merely potential routes into the valley.

If push came to shove, he could set up three Hazy Arrays and block the directions of entry and exit—hopefully, whoever barged in wouldn’t fall too hard?

However, he would have to postpone these plans because other matters came one after another.

Firstly, the frame of the small villa was completed, and it required his jade to fill it in.

Secondly, the system he had customized for the Pan Family was also finished, and someone would deliver it tomorrow.

Thirdly, the networking equipment ordered by Yang Yuxin had arrived and was currently being urgently tested in the warehouse.

Of course, there were other things, such as his recent preoccupation with setting up the formations, which meant he hadn’t been intimate with his women for a long time.

Feng Jing had even stayed in Luohua Manor for a whole week in a row.

Of course, she didn’t explicitly say what she wanted or lacked, but three days ago, after she attended a work function, she came to stay at Luohua Manor at ten o’clock at night, then left early the next morning. This was quite telling.

Feng Jun felt that if he didn’t take proper care of her, Teacher Mei would probably have a hard time saving face.

So that evening, he planned to treat everyone to a meal to celebrate his breakthrough in “certain areas.”

However, as the evening approached, things changed again. Feng Jun didn’t need to look for excuses for his change, a proper reason emerged—Zhang Caixin had advanced in her cultivation level!

She went from the fifth stage of Exuviation to the sixth!

Advanced again? Feng Jun felt it was almost unbelievable.

But after calculating carefully, it had been about a month since her last advancement, and the Jade Villa was nearly built. He had spent too much time setting up formations, and on another plane, he had also spent a significant amount of time.

Thinking about how Chen Junsheng had advanced three times in succession, it was normal for Xiao Caixin with her talent to achieve such advancements.

However, the next step was to advance from six to seven, which meant reaching a new minor realm, and this would likely require some time.

Zhang Caixin didn’t announce her advancement outside, even though everyone noticed her cultivation anomaly. She acted as if nothing had happened—she knew it wasn’t good to stimulate others anymore.

So she invited Feng Jun alone, roughly meaning she wanted to thank the master for his cultivation.

Feng Jun couldn’t be sure if the beautiful young woman had any intention of showing off, but for him, that wasn’t very important. It happened to be a good opportunity to call Feng Jing and Sister Hong to celebrate together in the evening.

Feng Jing and Sister Hong would, of course, support the occasion, and both appeared very cheerful with not a hint of feeling down.

Wait a minute… why were the two of them incessantly toasting Zhang Caixin?

What happened next goes without saying, after the two beauties got Zhang Caixin drunk, they dragged Feng Jun into a room, accusing him of favoritism—If Caixin hadn’t advanced, you wouldn’t have cared about the two of us, right?

Then, they joined forces and started to torment him. It’s just like that with people; some things, once you let go, just don’t matter anymore. Ordinary folks can’t experience this feeling because they usually get stuck at the first step.

Interestingly, after two rounds of torment, Sister Hong and Teacher Mei also advanced in their cultivation stages, one after the other.

That made Feng Jun miserable for the night as he got no sleep. In their words, “We also want to continue advancing…”

Girls are especially good at threading needles, and everyone who has sewn a button knows what to do when the thread doesn’t go through the needle eye—you moisten the end of the thread with saliva to make it stiff, then it can go through the needle eye.

Of course, with their talents, it really wasn’t likely for them to advance consecutively…

The next day, Feng Jun slept until noon and didn’t leave the villa later, but met up with the computer company staff who had come to deliver the system in the front building.

There wasn’t much to say about the price. The company equipped a server, six networked terminals, and all sorts of permission settings, etc. They explained it to Feng Jun for more than two hours.

Fortunately, this was an upgrade from the previous system version, so Jun found learning it quite easy.

After getting the hang of it, he made a request to develop a system that could connect to hundreds of terminals.

The other party agreed but politely mentioned that a deposit would be needed.

Jun directly handed the matter over to Li Xiaobin, “Just contact Manager Li about this; I’m not concerned with these details.”

Then he took all the materials straight to the mobile phone dimension in order to restore some of his own vitality. He summoned Yu Changzhu and Chen Junsheng and started teaching them the system hands-on.

Yu Changzhu showed some resistance to learning, seemingly always trying to compete with Mi Yunshan in secret.

Jun had to give her a little nudge, “This system is to be sold to a clan in Guanquan Valley, and you two will be teaching it to them… Don’t you seem a bit uninterested?”

Yu Changzhu’s attitude changed dramatically, and even Chen Junsheng’s expression became more solemn.

Ordinary people in the Mortal Realm might not understand the significance of Guanquan Valley, but how could Yu Changzhu, with a sister in cultivation, and Chen Junsheng, who was also cultivating, be unaware of the “Two Peaks, One Valley” in the Cultivation World?

Interacting with Cultivator Families may not always bring advantages, but without interaction, there would definitely be no benefits.

Their attitudes became impeccably serious, but their “foundations” were quite poor. After teaching them for an entire day and having them practice in turns, he quizzed them the next day before notifying the Pan Family to send someone for training.

The Pan Family members’ “foundations” were even worse; a day of learning amounted to almost nothing.

However, Jun’s courtyard didn’t keep guests overnight, so he let them take the hardware with them, saying his people would come over to teach them the next morning.

The Pan Family members looked down on this “desolate and poor” place and, by extension, underestimated Jun—they should know that the Pan Family was quite significant in Guanquan Valley.

But fortunately, Pan Renjie repeatedly reminded his family, and they all knew that the currently popular Gathering Spirit Array Plate sold by the Pan Family came from Jun’s hands.

More realistically, the out-of-this-world Cultivator from the Wuyou Platform obediently stayed at the edge of Jun’s dojo, verifying the Analysis Formation Method provided by Jun every day.

Hence, the Pan Family showed the good upbringing of Cultivator Families, carefully packing away all hardware, and bidding farewell to the teachers—despite one of them being a Mortal without a trace of Spiritual Energy.

Then, Jun visited the small courtyard on the Wuyou Platform to see how far the work on analyzing the Lingzhi Formation had progressed.

He was surprised to find: he had overestimated the other party’s efficiency!

The inefficiency of the senior’s work wasn’t merely low… Upon finding an error in the Formation, he actually wanted to work out the entire Analysis Formation Method through calculations.

Obviously, this was not feasible in the short term, and he knew it was impractical. So every day, like clocking in for work, he would make minor adjustments to the material ratios, and upon failure, he would contentedly spend the rest of his time on calculations.

Jun wanted to correct this behavior, but when the words came to his lips, he found himself at a loss for how to explain—he could adjust the system minutely and comprehensively by observing and comparing through his mobile phone, but the senior did not have such means.

After watching for a while, he could only ask, “Could I borrow your Lingzhi Formation again?”

The senior was only too glad to lend it to him and immediately produced the Array Plate, “I’m at a critical point in my assessment. Fellow Daoist, feel free to use it. If you can figure it out before I do, it would be fantastic.”

To be honest, his head was full of muddled thoughts, with numerous guesses. He only lamented… that his assessment pace was too slow and the level too low.

Jun didn’t stand on ceremony, taking the Array Plate before looking around, “Huh, where did Wang Botai go?”

Wang Botai had ventured even further than Jun imagined; he had managed to create a steam engine that could generate electricity and drive wheels at the same time.

Of course, this did not mean that he could compare with inventors like Carter, as there was just too much for him to draw inspiration from around.

It was certain that if he had been born on Earth, he would have been an engineer with exceptionally strong practical abilities.

He was now installing wooden paddle wheels by the riverside, believing that this method of generating electricity was cost-effective and stable.

Jun wanted to give him some advice but found himself unable to articulate anything concrete. Although he had done fairly well in physics and chemistry in his junior year, his humanities background left him with far too little understanding of these subjects.

He silently walked away.

Seeing him leave, Pan Renjie, holding a small square device slightly larger than a palm, approached the senior, “Elder Uncle, this device is very convenient for calculations.”

The senior looked at it curiously, his stern face showing a trace of surprise, “This object… what is it called?”

“It is called a calculator,” Pan Renjie replied proudly, “It was a gift from Daoist Feng when we bought the Contribution Point System.”
