Soone by the river was speaking, but no one paid him any mind, except Nie Chifeng who muttered under her breath, "Longsheng."
Feng Jun raised a hand, capturing the man effortlessly; even though he was at the Interdiate Level of the Mortal Realm, Jiang Shangren seed like a child’s toy in his grasp.
Yue Qing spoke impatiently, "Knock him out and use the Soul Searching Technique... You really expect him to be a good person?"
Feng Jun chuckled, "I’m the type who always considers whether I should implicate his entire family."
He wasn’t being hypocritical; he truly had thoughts of implicating them, especially after being at Mount Zhige where he didn’t know how many families he had implicated.
"Hey, what do you an by that?" Jiang Shangren couldn’t help but ask, "What did I do to warrant implicating my whole family?"
"Stop giving nonsense," Feng Jun replied impatiently, "Confess honestly, and I’ll spare your family. Otherwise, I’ll use the Soul Searching Technique, and your family will suffer with you... Don’t think I don’t know you’re from Gold City."
Jiang Shangren had been slumped over, but he stood up sharply upon hearing this, "You know I’m from Gold City?"
"You think my deduction technique is fake?" Feng Jun was a bit amused, "If you have sothing worthwhile to say, say it; otherwise, the Soul Searching Technique it is."
Jiang Shangren shook his head, struggling to stay awake; the feeling of "Longsheng" wasn’t pleasant, working through it was even harder than being stuffed into a Spirit Beast Bag—after all, this was being imprisoned, "I’m innocent... Do you believe that?"
"I don’t believe you," Feng Jun answered bluntly, "You better not waste ti."
Feng Jun truly did not believe him; what seller wouldn’t dare to visit White Pebble Beach? That’s a contradiction—wouldn’t they at least bring so rubbing before selling? Even if not, they could negotiate the price first, couldn’t they?
As soon as Feng Jun felt sothing was amiss, Jiang Shangren suggested a trade location—where a previous deduction was held for i Jiushan in a grove, which posed a bigger problem.
The location itself beca a strong hint: nothing happened the first ti, so nothing will happen again, right?
Even for Qu Jianlei, last ti he was hot on their heels, but this ti if Feng Jun didn’t use the Flash Star Boat, and continued on foot, Master Qu’s wariness would decrease—it’s a familiar place, after all.
Feng Jun is sotis quite bold, yet he never lacks caution, and he values his intuition highly.
To act with boldness and diligence while maintaining a cautious heart is the true path of cultivation.
He’s not afraid of losing face, so he quietly confided in the Big Boss.
The Big Boss is equally skilled at being cautious; instead of mocking him, they actually said—they too felt sothing ominous.
It turned out their caution wasn’t excessive; if not for the Big Boss releasing Xiao Bai in ti, Feng Jun might be safe, but the Big Boss... if they didn’t want to be strangled by Weimian’s Force, they’d have to control the Soul Stone and actively leap out of the Spirit Beast Bag.
What would happen if a Soul Stone that can leap out of a Spirit Beast Bag were seen by Yinsha Golden Core, one of the Four Great Sects?
At that mont, Jiang Shangren was still babbling, but the Big Boss couldn’t take it anymore, "Soul Search, just use the Soul Search."
Feng Jun knocked out Jiang Shangren with one palm, glancing at Qu Jianlei and asking, "He’s from Tiantong, no problem with using Soul Search, right?"
"It’s a small matter, just make up a death scenario," Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, having done many shady deals, he had a truly indifferent attitude towards life—not cold, just indifferent, yet he still asked, "Is he part of Tiantong’s core?"
Feng Jun smiled, a bit embarrassed, "He’s just a Guest Elder."
"Guest Elder... Of course, no problem," apparently Qu Jianlei was even inclined to tease Feng Jun, but ultimately he pulled out a Soul-searching Talisman, "Let do it, to prevent him from using any secret technique."
Jiang Shangren indeed had a secret technique; his mories were extrely chaotic, but Master Qu eventually found so recollections. He really wasn’t innocent; he had accepted Spirit Stones.
The Spirit Stones weren’t much, only ten thousand, which supposedly didn’t justify betraying Feng Jun—if anything happened to Feng Jun, countless forces would pursue him, while his inco from Tiantong wasn’t small, plus he’d established contact with Feng Jun.
Last ti he helped i Family’s elder make connections, the introduction fee alone was three thousand. Doing this business a few more tis, he’d have everything, so was it necessary to take such a risk?
In truth, he had been dishonest in Tiantong, giving Yinsha Sect leverage over him, leaving him with no choice—Tiantong had a high tolerance for Guest Elders, they even permitted smuggling a bit of cargo secretly with a caravan, no one would complain about it, but he committed a serious cri.
Jiang Shangren’s plan was to flee imdiately after this deal, hiding away never to show his face again; he even transferred all his wealth.
But unfortunately, as Qu Jianlei was about to discover where he hid the Spirit Stones and resources, his head exploded suddenly. Master Qu was montarily stunned and could only shake his head helplessly, "Truly... he values wealth over life."
Nie Chifeng was eager to prove herself, "This matter can’t just end here, did i Jiushan have any knowledge of this last ti?"
Master Qu thought for a mont, then shook his head blankly, "No... I hadn’t searched it yet, and then he exploded."
He was quite annoyed by this, so he turned to Li Qiliang and spoke viciously, "If you dare to self-destruct as well, I’ll kill your whole family... Now co over here and let do a Soul Search on you?"
Li Qiliang thought for a mont and answered with gritted teeth, "If the Soul Search proves innocent, could Mountain Master Feng purchase the earth vein scripture from ?"
Feng Jun looked at him in bewildernt, not even knowing what to say. Your intelligence is truly outstanding beyond compare?
"What else can I do?" Li Qiliang spread his hands helplessly and replied, "You all are Big Bosses. I can’t afford to offend anyone. After all, I’m just a loose cultivator, and when the Yinsha Sect sent , I couldn’t not co. If you want to turn into an idiot, I can only accept it."
After a pause, he sighed again, "My last hope is to sell it at a good price. Whenever it’s convenient for you, help send the Spirit Stones back ho. I’ll take twenty percent as a reward."
Feng Jun furrowed his brows, "Take out the scripture, let take a look."
Master Qu acted on his behalf again, looking worried that the other party might pull so tricks.
The scripture was a piece of Obsidian, called the Earth Dragon Scripture. Feng Jun scanned it with his Divine Sense and was overjoyed—this was the scripture he desired the most.
The earthworm naturally referred to the earth vein—a small earth vein. To thicken a small earth vein, this process was called tracing the dragon.
Without going into the specifics of tracing the dragon, it suffices to say that this scripture actually taught how to identify earthworms—small earth veins were not a problem as long as they had potential. You have to learn to analyze this first.
Currently, Feng Jun’s biggest worry was how to distinguish earth veins. Larger earth vein energies he could sense through intuition, but for those small earth veins, he was hardly confident, let alone seeing their potential.
In short, earth veins were comprehensive knowledge, not purely a substance, to the extent that they couldn’t be easily searched even with a mobile phone.
With this scripture, Feng Jun could significantly supplent his shortcomings.
So he looked at Li Qiliang, his expression a bit strange, "How many Spirit Stones do you plan to sell this scripture for?"
"Three hundred thousand," Li Qiliang was genuinely down-and-out this ti, "ChengFeng Zi from the Yinsha sect bartered down to one hundred and eighty thousand, but I refused to sell. Only then did he notify Master Hanpo."
Feng Jun shook his head with a wry smile upon hearing this, "You really are sothing, you’d rather die than part with wealth... Why does the na ChengFeng Zi sound so familiar to ?"
"I rarely encounter such treasures," Li Qiliang replied expressionlessly, "In your eyes, ten or twenty thousand Spirit Stones is not money, comparable to even the finest Spirit Beads, but the struggles of a loose cultivator is sothing you truly can’t fathom."
"You talk as if none of us has been a loose cultivator before," Master Qu gave him a disdainful glance, then turned to Feng Jun, "ChengFeng Zi is You Longzi’s senior, at Interdiate Level Nine, with rather diocre combat strength."
The latter part of the sentence was him exaggerating himself. He certainly wouldn’t say that half a year ago he couldn’t hold his own against ChengFeng Zi.
"I’m not exactly willing to die over money," Li Qiliang mumbled softly, "If you could spare my life, I wouldn’t want the scripture."
Qu Jianlei gave him a sidelong glance, "What are you thinking? If the situation were reversed, would you be so magnanimous?"
"Let do it," Yue Qing raised his hand and pulled Li Qiliang over, pressing his big hand onto the top of the other’s head, surprisingly starting the Soul Search directly without a Soul-searching Talisman.
While conducting the search, he spoke slowly, "Relax, don’t resist. My Soul Searching Technique cos from a peculiar inheritance, and if you’re careful, there’s a good chance you won’t beco an idiot..."
Before he could finish, his body jerked backward, and with a light pop, Li Qiliang’s head also exploded.
"What a bastard!" Yue Qing was truly furious. He was always mindful of keeping his composure, yet he swore, showing just how angry he was. "I was going to give him a hand, but damn... being good to people just doesn’t pay?"
"Just putting on an act," Qu Jianlei chuckled disdainfully, "Master Yue, you’re so high up that you haven’t seen such devious tricks very often."
"Hmph," Yue Qing snorted irritably. It was a major loss for him, but thankfully, he reacted quickly and avoided it. Otherwise, if his body got splattered with blood and brain matter, it would have been utterly humiliating.
Still, he couldn’t help but respond, "Maybe he was secretly placed under a restriction."
Say whatever you want, Qu Jianlei smiled dismissively, "Anyhow, we don’t have to spend Spirit Stones on the scripture anymore. That’s good news."
Feng Jun put away the scripture and spoke in a deep voice, "They said to gather at the location marked ’兑’, seems like they want to regroup. Should we chase them down?"
Yue Qing imdiately expressed, "Do as you see fit. I have no particular concern."
He had no personal grudge with the Yinsha Sect, and the reason for killing Han Ji was due to a personal vendetta. However, if Feng Jun wanted to pursue them, he could also participate, which is why he remained neutral.
Qu Jianlei hesitated for a mont before speaking, "Feng, can you deduce where their gathering point is?"
