Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259: Earning Spirit Stones This Way
The thunderstorm that Feng Jun and Kong Ziyi encountered is rolling towards the distance, heading exactly towards a settlent.
Their current location is four hundred li away from the settlent, following the storm could greatly reduce the risk.
Kong Ziyi doesn’t mind this, she has anti-lightning equipnt on her, even if the weather changes and the anti-lightning tools can’t hold, at worst she can find a shelter… the conditions might just be a bit harsh.
Shelters are unlike settlents; in the vast Thunder Plains, there are only twelve settlents which include living areas, and even leisure areas—though mostly, there are transaction zones.
There are over three hundred shelters in the Thunder Plains, close to four hundred. Why isn’t there an exact number? Because shelters are often destroyed, or they have significant problems requiring abandonnt or repair.
But in fact, shelters can effectively protect thunder cultivators venturing in the Thunder Plains and are generally not too small, with the smallest being over ten square ters, capable of cramming forty to fifty people in urgent situations.
The nearest shelter to Feng Jun and his companion is over a hundred li away, located in the middle of a slope, a semi-underground room with a canopy above, about twenty square ters.
When they arrived, they took a look, Kong Ziyi was rather surprised at its small size, but Guo Xiaosong explained that few people dare to venture here, making sothing big would be wasteful—even the construction process carries risks.
Sitting in the thunder cultivator version of the all-terrain vehicle, Kong Ziyi was thinking she might end up needing those cramped shelters.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Feng Jun’s judgnt, but it’s just common sense, and the Thunder Plains has too many unexpected occurrences. For example, setting up a tin house and hamring a copper rod can change the density of lightning—she didn’t know there’s a term called the butterfly effect.
Fortunately, although the thunder cultivator version of the all-terrain vehicle broke down about a hundred li from the settlent, they managed to return in ti.
During the journey, Kong Ziyi asked, “That Soul Stone… are you planning to refine it further?”
Upon hearing this, the yin spirit in Feng Jun’s mind released so strange information that he couldn’t quite understand; roughly feelings of anger, contempt, ridicule, or possibly… jealousy?
Feng Jun replied honestly, “We ca here to test so hypotheses and aren’t pursuing any particular goal, as you said, experience is most crucial, we’re all still young, right?”
The yin spirit couldn’t take it anymore and interjected in the sea of consciousness, “Are you calling old? You’re not young, you’re childish!”
Feng Jun couldn’t help but reply, “How many years has it been since you last spoke, senior?”
Probably feeling hurt, the yin spirit didn’t speak again until they entered the settlent.
However, Kong Ziyi ntioned it, feeling if Feng Jun considered the yin spirit a threat, he might think about trading it to the Taiqing Sect.
Feng Jun did not respond because he didn’t understand what the big boss ant—the yin spirit seed quite averse to the Taiqing Sect.
After entering the settlent, they finally could relax. Feng Jun t three won and two guards, while Kong Ziyi t An Yuhong and her female attendant.
Although the settlent is not small, it’s really impossible to initiate operations, as it’s essentially a large Faraday Cage, and operations set up here are influenced by the Faraday Cage.
Therefore, for cultivation, they can only use the public cultivation rooms within the settlent, where the cost is significantly higher than outside—due to the direct exposure to the most complex environnt with nurous surprises, many need spiritual energy supplent.
As a footnote, this price is actually driven up by tourists who co to visit; thunder cultivators are genuinely quite poor.
No matter, Feng Jun and Kong Ziyi went outside, while others stayed in the settlent.
Zhang Caixin and the others waited for two days before directly going to cultivate, not just for the opportunity of cross-dinsional cultivation, but also due to their trust in Feng Jun—if they didn’t trust, if sothing happened to Feng Jun, who among them could manage?
While Feng Jun’s group cultivated, Taiqing’s group also went to cultivate, especially An Yuhong, who has now switched to the Thunder Technique, making the Thunder Plains truly suitable for her.
However, if you consider effectiveness, Feng Jun’s group had better results because… Feng Jing advanced.
Teacher i had been stuck at the peak of the sixth layer of the Mortal Transformation Realm for several months, on the verge of advancing but hadn’t yet.
Her mind was almost obsessed—it seed going to the mobile phone realm would allow her to advance quickly… Feng Jun, why haven’t you taken yet?
There’s definitely a reason behind such obsession; coming to the mobile phone realm relaxed her mood.
Then she wandered the streets, encountered events, Feng Jun resolved them, then went to the Thunder Plains, and then idled around…
And then she advanced—to the seventh layer of the Mortal Transformation Realm!
Honestly speaking, Teacher i really possesses a sowhat easygoing attribute; many tis, she isn’t willing to vie.
But this ntality, when applied to a cultivator, is actually very beneficial.
She was cultivating while Zhang Caixin and Sister Hong were also cultivating, then she advanced, leaving the Zhang family sisters a bit dumbfounded.
Sister Hong is doing a bit better, she has cultivated to the peak of the sixth layer of the Mortal Transformation, just a paper-thin barrier away, but Zhang Caixin feels she’s a bit slow, as she is still just a tiny step from the peak of the Qi Refining First Layer.
In short, their return was unexpected for everyone… We were all imrsed in our cultivation, and suddenly you two returned, quite surprising.
Guo Xiaosong hadn’t anticipated this and hadn’t prepared any counterasures.
So everyone was still gathered together, not celebrating Feng Jing’s breakthrough to the seventh layer of the Mortal Transformation — which would definitely be cause for celebration in the Earth Realm, but we are currently in the Cultivation World of the mobile phone plane.
Feng Jun and Kong Ziyi… even including An Yuhong, are all Cultivators in the Primordial Spirit Stage.
For them, a breakthrough in the Qi Refinent Realm is just so-so,
An Yuhong thinks that Thunder Plains is pretty good, very suitable for her cultivation, so she is most concerned about the next steps, “Ziyi, if there are no other places to go, we can stay here for a few more days.”
She didn’t know that Feng Jun and Kong Ziyi ca here to clear the Yin Spirits in the Soul Stone, assuming it was just a random stop — in fact, Kong Ziyi also only learned about it a few days ago.
“Then we will stay a few more days,” Kong Ziyi replied with a smile. She is often quite easy-going, “Mountain Master Feng has agreed anyway.”
I’ve agreed… to what? Feng Jun felt a bit confused.
While he was perplexed, the Yin Spirit spoke up, “What’s so good about staying here? Let’s hurry and leave, I’ll take you to fetch the Myriad Transformation Gourd.”
For the Yin Spirit, Thunder Plains really isn’t a good place, so its eagerness to leave is understandable.
But Feng Jun didn’t want the Myriad Transformation Gourd at all; he vaguely felt that it might be a trap.
When there was no one around, Guo Xiaosong quietly asked Feng Jun, “Ever since Xinghun ca back, he still seems a bit bewitched… Could it be ng Xiaofei’s remnant soul causing trouble?”
Feng Jun couldn’t determine this either, but conveniently, there was a Big Boss nearby. He discreetly patted the Spirit Beast Bag.
“Is this the way you ask for help?” Unsurprisingly, the Big Boss spoke in his mind, “You even pat my room!”
“But I’m unable to contact you proactively,” Feng Jun apologized in his heart, “Please forgive , Senior… Could you comnt on ng Xiaofei’s remnant soul?”
The Big Boss was in no hurry to answer, instead saying discontentedly, “Just communicate with Divine Sense, how could you not be able to contact ?”
Feng Jun replied helplessly, “But if my Divine Sense flickers, the person opposite, Master Guo, will likely notice, considering he is in the eighth layer of the Primordial Spirit Stage.”
The Big Boss unhesitatingly criticized him, “Ultimately, it’s because you’re too weak, as you would say… Being weak is the original sin.”
Feng Jun could only stay silent. He had no choice, as his actual cultivation level was indeed not up to par.
After scolding him for a bit, the Big Boss clearly felt much better, and then began to analyze.
“That ng Xiaofei’s remnant soul, I’m not very sure either, but it seems to be just as you said, only a thread of resentnt remains, and then… there’s a ninety percent chance that it will beco nourishnt for the child’s growth, but the obsession will also be passed along, presumably that guy was severely tricked by the Yinsha Sect.”
Feng Jun shared the analysis results with Guo Xiaosong and also suggested that if he was still concerned, he could bring ng Xinghun over, and he would help take a look as well.
This ti, not only did he observe, but the Yin Spirit also consciously investigated, and the two finally confird that ng Xiaofei’s remnant soul was further integrating with ng Xinghun.
Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaosong finally breathed a sigh of relief. After sending ng Xinghun off, he hesitated but eventually spoke, “Friend Feng, your deduction skills are truly the finest I’ve ever seen in my life, could it be…”
“Let say,” Kong Ziyi proactively took over the topic, “Friend Guo, are you perhaps wondering if Mountain Master Feng could help deduce matters for others?”
“Indeed, I have this thought,” Guo Xiaosong nodded, “Most cultivators in Thunder Plains lack a complete inheritance, and so many cultivators who encounter problems halfway through their cultivation are a di a dozen. I hope Friend Feng will have rcy on us.”
Kong Ziyi responded, “Master Guo, our Disciple of Taiqing requested Mountain Master Feng’s deducing assistance at a cost. Last ti, we won’t ntion the help with ng Xinghun’s deduction, but you also gathered a bit of information in return, considered as our gratitude. But this ti…”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun turned his head and looked at her in surprise: Are you… possessed by Huang Fu Wuxia?
Guo Xiaosong, however, smiled and nodded, “That’s exactly how it should be. If Mountain Master Feng doesn’t charge a fee, I wouldn’t know how to even broach the subject with you. But… how much might this fee be?”
“Talking about Spirit Stones is too common,” Kong Ziyi said with an indifferent tone, “I don’t lack Spirit Stones, Mountain Master Feng doesn’t lack Spirit Stones, well, he’s looking to get a few High-Rank Gathering Spirit Array Plates, plus making a few Super Large Storage Bags.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun instantly understood: So, Kong Ziyi planned to make earn the Spirit Gathering Array like this.
Guo Xiaosong, however, grimaced, “Friend Kong, this fee is a bit, well… frankly speaking, if the family was rich, who would co to practice the Thunder Technique? We’re just too poor.”
