Feng Jun really had no way to deny Master Sumiao’s question.
Since he could teleport people over long distances, how could he not set up a coordinate in his own base?
As for spending so Spirit Stones to do so, he couldn’t bring himself to ntion it—not enough to be embarrassing.
They accompanied him to the Tianqin Plane, regardless of any subjective reasons, they still escorted him.
In a blink of an eye, he took them to Lantern Town, and reminded everyone, "Don’t casually talk about my ability."
This ability probably couldn’t remain a secret for a few days, but... keeping it secret for even a day was worthwhile.
Back at the manor, Feng Jun used his Divine Sense to perceive his people, and fortunately, everything was normal.
The next mont, Master Guyue and Xia Nichang ca to visit, wanting to know what Feng Jun did in the Tianqin Plane.
However, Feng Jun didn’t receive them himself, instead had soone relay the ssage that they could ask Master Sumiao and Qu Jianlei—his individual experiences, related to the path of Spirit Plants, required confidentiality and couldn’t be disclosed to others.
He then entered the room with the Soul Stone and started communicating with the Big Boss.
The Big Boss, upon hearing that a single Heavenly Fragrance Fruit could sell for two High-Rank Spirit Stones, couldn’t help but exclaim, "What has happened that the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit of the Tianqin Plane has inflated like this?"
"I don’t know either," Feng Jun replied innocently, then asked, "How many Spirit Stones was a Heavenly Fragrance Fruit before?"
"Fifty to a hundred Middle-Rank Spirit Stones, though in so places twenty or thirty Middle-Rank," the Big Boss answered uncertainly, "Since I could cultivate this, I haven’t cared about its price, but it’s really not worth using High-Rank Spirit Stones to buy it."
Feng Jun was a bit dumbfounded, "You an... I should have sold it back then?"
"Isn’t that obvious?" The Big Boss shouted angrily, "That’s High-Rank Spirit Stones we’re talking about!"
Feng Jun blinked, "Is the difference between High-Rank and Middle-Rank really that significant?"
The Big Boss, in its straightforward nature, retorted, "For you, the difference isn’t big, but for , it’s different... not that you’d understand, just knowing there’s a difference is enough."
It paused and added, "Find a way to go to the Tianqin Plane again, exchange for twenty High-Rank Spirit Stones for ..."
"It’s probably impossible," Feng Jun interrupted decisively, "I’ve already promised to give her ten Heavenly Fragrance Fruits."
"Give her... based on what?" The Big Boss was anxious, "Giving away my things, you’ve crossed the line."
"I used my share," Feng Jun replied irritably, "Besides, she has treated well..."
After he explained the whole situation, the Big Boss cald down, "Well, that makes sense, taking advantage of this isn’t too embarrassing... But I’m curious, why didn’t you agree to her then?"
Feng Jun explained his thinking, making the Big Boss both amused and angry, "Did you think with my ticulous calculations I’d have such a big loophole? Don’t assu everyone is as naive as you!"
Feng Jun was displeased: I’m doing this for your good, and you don’t appreciate it?
So he countered, "You claim to have foolproof strategies, but let ask you, did you calculate that the price of the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit would rise this much? Recklessly offering the fruit without understanding the reason for the price hike... have you thought about the consequences?"
The Big Boss fell silent; prioritizing safety, this consideration was indeed correct.
In the following ti, Feng Jun needed to refocus. His layout in the Earth Realm and Kunhao Plane was fully unfolding, though still in the initial stages. Obstacles and setbacks were inevitable, but decisive blocking factors were no longer present.
Two months later, Feng Jun received good news—Yun Buyao, who stayed in Qiuchen Market, successfully entered the Qi Refinent Realm.
This seed like a landmark event, following which the Deng Family Brothers advanced to High-Rank Martial Masters, Lang Zhen achieved Innate, and even Chen Junwei advanced to Muscle Cleansing ninth layer, just a step from Qi Refinent.
After Yun Buyao advanced to the Qi Refinent Realm, she expressed a desire to co to White Pebble Beach, but Feng Jun felt it’d be better for her to stay in Qiuchen Market, as it’s more convenient to connect with Donghua Country there.
Following that... Mi Yunsan also advanced to the Qi Refinent Realm, prompting Feng Jun to sigh: It’s indeed the harvest period.
However, his remark left Gu Jiahui feeling very mixed: Why has everyone else reached Qi Refinent, while only my mother and I remain at Muscle Cleansing?
If Feng Jun knew her thoughts, he’d probably think she was overthinking: Your aptitude isn’t much better than Mi Yunsan’s, and even though she started cultivating much earlier than you, she’s only just reached the Qi Refinent Realm now.
In fact, even Feng Jun’s own parents are only at Muscle Cleansing fourth layer, which is not as good as Director Yang’s Muscle Cleansing sixth layer.
After Mi Yunsan advanced to the Qi Refinent Realm, she invited the mbers of the manor to a feast, which could be counted as a small-scale celebration. Others rarely did this, mainly because she served as a personal attendant and took care of Feng Jun for a long ti, accumulating so wealth.
Feng Jun was quite pleased to see her doing this. His direct forces were gradually growing, and how to harmoniously coexist was another issue. They must not be divided into "Earth faction" or "Kunhao faction" and the like.
Currently, due to his strong presence, these divisions weren’t apparent, but in the future, it might be hard to say. It would especially involve the allocation of cultivation resources. Mi Yunsan’s current actions were the normal developnt direction.
Feng Jun started considering whether future ascension celebrations from the Earth Realm should also be held here in Kunhao — as there were too few Daoist sect branches on Earth, and their cultivation levels were low. Those celebrations were more of a stimulus than a celebration.
At this mont, Mi Yunsan proposed another request; she wanted to visit her clan.
She was initially sent to Feng Jun by the Mi Family as a "companion girl," but in fact, since she beca a cultivation seedling, the clan had always valued her highly, and hadn’t considered marriage for her in her early twenties — her partner should be an Immortal!
Her father had sent her to Feng Jun hoping she could seize an opportunity, rather than simply to please Feng Jun.
So, after Mi Yunsan advanced to Qi Refinent, whether from the perspective of missing her family or wanting to honor her ancestors, she wished to visit ho.
"Then make sure you go quickly and return," Feng Jun had no objections, "After you’ve arrived at Qiuchen Market, ask Chen Junwei if she wants to visit ho too."
Yet, before she could set off, Feng Jun received news from Mount Zhige that Brother Bao’s railroad was completed, and wanted to invite the Immortals of Mount Zhige to witness the inauguration ceremony.
If it weren’t for Mi Yunsan wanting to return, Feng Jun probably wouldn’t attend such events, as the distinction between Immortals and mortals was evident.
He was not entirely comfortable with Mi Yunsan going alone — even if Chen Junwei joined, it wasn’t entirely safe since Chen Junwei had re-cultivated her Mortal Shedding stage, rather than entering the path through martial enlightennt as an Innate Expert, hence combat strength was certainly weaker.
Since everyone was heading there, he simply teleported the group directly to Qiuchen Market, took Chen Junwei along, queued to pass customs, and then teleported back to Mount Zhige.
After resting for two days at Mount Zhige, he found that the population was increasingly thriving, and there were three daily train departures.
The railway theft incident happened again later, but the disciples from the Tian Family and Mi Family dug deep into the ground, capturing those responsible within a day — it was two villagers, who lacked sense, not because they weren’t afraid of death, but rather they were unaware of their impending doom.
Therefore, being hanged was inevitable for them, and their families were also implicated.
Ignorance is truly humanity’s great enemy; it is indeed the case.
Then Feng Jun attended Brother Bao’s railway inauguration ceremony. The railroad was just under twenty kiloters in total — including the circular track in the manor, hardly impressive. However, knowing he was attending, many officials from the Imperial Court ca.
But those people didn’t have the qualification to approach him; being able to catch a glimpse from afar was considered fortunate.
Of course, there were exceptions, such as Lord Beiyuan and Yongyi Duke.
Now Lord Beiyuan’s montum in the Secular World was completely suppressed by his brother Brother Bao; becoming an Earl was nothing remarkable, while Brother Bao mingled with Immortals.
Yongyi Duke spoke to Feng Jun about sothing else; he was keenly concerned whether Feng Mountain Master obtained enough minerals from the Rong People. If not, the major mining site outside the border, Donghua Country can help collaborate.
This was a typical case of leveraging another’s prestige, but Feng Jun did not take offense — collaboration ford out of mutual benefits is the most stable and normal.
However, it reminded Feng Jun that perhaps... the slting of platinum group tals could also comnce?
In fact, during these days, Gu Jiahui’s series of small platinum group tal processing plants had already produced quite a bit of platinum group tals. But over the past month, her cultivation level hadn’t seen a breakthrough, and her mind wasn’t entirely focused on that anymore.
Yang Yuxin, on the other hand, remained attentive to the processing plants, but presently, it seed she intended to hand over the operations to Du Wentian.
Feng Jun believed there was no need to place tal processing plants in the Cultivation World, transitioning them to Mount Zhige would be more appropriate — the best approach would be to find an area unconcerned with pollution and entrust processing to others.
Since Yongyi Duke brought this up, Feng Jun straightforwardly asked him if he’d be interested; additional processing thods were available for those minerals, and if you’re willing to subcontract, related costs could offset train and railway purchases — would you have any interest?
Yongyi Duke almost jumped with joy, expressing that it was absolutely not a problem, and he assured Feng Jun that no one would dare to bamboozle him!
Feng Jun also believed nobody dared to deceive him — not with the head of General Changsheng displayed at the Dong Family Fortress — but out of courtesy, he nonetheless inford Yongyi Duke that the factory would be polluting.
Don’t assu Kunhao Plane was ignorant about pollution, quite the contrary — cultivators need no ntion, even in the Mortal Realm, those martial cultivators are well aware that polluted water and air are cultivation enemies.
Thus, Yongyi Duke readily stated, "No worries, I can coordinate, and find a desolate mountain area, as for manpower, that need not be ntioned. Soldiers captured from foreign nations, as well as dostic criminals, can be utilized disusedly."
However, he was quite concerned about one point: would these tals attract other cultivators?
