In fact, the aning of the Crimson Pheonix Sect is: As long as the probability can be increased, no matter how much, let Guan Hongxiu attempt the Golden Core breakthrough at White Pebble Beach.
If it were sowhere else, Crimson Phoenix would really consider the sect’s face, but here with Feng Jun... Does Crimson Phoenix still need to consider pride here? Plenty of disciples have co here to take turns deducing.
Moreover, Feng Jun’s deducing is indeed reliable, so if it can increase the success rate of achieving the Golden Core, is there still a need to consider anything?
Five days later, Bai Luan accompanied the master and Chi Luan here; they not only brought the Rongxun Drum but also a portable Golden Core Cave Mansion—it’s specially prepared for those attempting the Golden Core breakthrough.
The Golden Core Cave Mansion is set up in the Crimson Pheonix Courtyard, which is actually an alternate form of the Spirit Gathering Array and defensive formation, capable of directly locking onto the Earth Vein, thereby better attracting Spiritual Energy through extracting earthly energy.
Placing the cave mansion in the courtyard might cause damage from the Tribulation Thunder, but this is sothing that can’t be helped. If the mansion is placed outside the courtyard, finding a suitable Earth Vein might take too much ti, possibly affecting the success rate of achieving the Golden Core.
As long as Guan Hongxiu succeeds in the Tribulation Transcending Stage, even if the entire courtyard is destroyed, so what?
The Crimson Phoenix Sect began preparations, and these movents quickly alerted the Taiqing and Qinggang Sects—Crimson Phoenix already had Qu Jianlei, Xiao ng, and Xia Nichang as three Golden Core mbers here, and now another one is coming, not to ntion two of the nine ’Luan’ of Crimson Phoenix?
Among them, Chi Luan is soon to be a successor within the Crimson Phoenix Sect.
Moreover, the disturbance in Spiritual Energy above the Crimson Phoenix Courtyard can’t be hidden from those who are watchful.
Yue Qing of Qinggang was not concerned, but Master Guyue of Taiqing proactively ca to inquire about what was happening.
Xia Nichang did not hide anything and said that our sect’s honored Guan Hongxiu already had a feeling of breakthrough, urgently seeking assistance from the sect, and the sect decided to let her attempt the Golden Core here to avoid accidents during travel.
Master Guyue was quite familiar with Guan Hongxiu, at least knowing she was once Feng Jun’s bodyguard, and when Master Ma ambushed Feng Jun, she risked her life to save him, suffering injuries so severe that she almost completely abandoned the thought of survival.
However, Feng Jun healed her injuries and even deduced recovery thods for her, suggesting that she might have hope to attempt the Golden Core—that was not news to spread casually, otherwise why would she buy so many poisons at the age of four hundred and sixty?
Later, she frequently interacted with Yue Qing’s disciple, and it was known that Dong Qianjun’s cultivation level was stagnant precisely because his body was poisoned.
So Master Guyue believed that Guan Hongxiu’s choice to attempt the Golden Core at White Pebble Beach was surely quite related to Feng Jun.
Thus he said, since it’s a try for the Golden Core, placing the Golden Core Cave Mansion in the Crimson Phoenix Courtyard might be too destructive; it’s better to choose another suitable Earth Vein—Taiqing happened to cultivate another Earth Vein at White Pebble Beach.
The Earth Vein Technique of Taiqing indeed excels among the Four Sects. White Pebble Beach is Feng Jun’s domain, but both Feng Jun’s manor and the Taiqing Sub-Court’s Earth Vein were enhanced by Taiqing; they could agree with Feng Jun to cultivate another Earth Vein.
This Earth Vein isn’t within the courtyard, but actually serves as a practice piece for a Taiqing disciple, yet it is sufficient to connect to the Golden Core Cave Mansion.
However, Xia Nichang refused this suggestion, believing that Guan Hongxiu, as an honored mber of Crimson Phoenix, should of course receive the strictest protection and care from the sect, and concerning the possible destruction of the courtyard, what’s the big deal about that?
Seeing her stance, Master Guyue had no choice but to return dejectedly.
As the Golden Core Cave Mansion connected to the Earth Vein, it would take another seven to eight days to harmonize to the most suitable degree.
Guan Hongxiu began her final adjustnt period.
Nie Chifeng witnessed this scene with mixed emotions, feeling a bit envious, a bit jealous, and sowhat anxious. She couldn’t help but murmur to Feng Jun, "Isn’t it about ti for us too?"
Feng Jun finally started to address this issue seriously; his cooldown period had nearly only half a month left, indeed it was ti to consider their coordination and cultivation technique deducing, so he asked softly, "I need to deduce sothing, can you keep it secret?"
"Of course," Nie Chifeng answered without hesitation, she always acted decisively and straightforwardly, "As long as it doesn’t harm Crimson Phoenix, I can swear on it, never to leak a word."
She felt she had expressed sincerity, but unexpectedly Feng Jun nodded with a smile, "Then make your oath."
Really swearing an oath? Nie Chifeng felt slightly startled, but being straightforward, she did not hesitate to make an oath.
"Very well," Feng Jun nodded, "Co see in the evening."
"In the evening?" Nie Chifeng blinked, uncertain of what crossed her mind, a blush swept across her face.
However, she imdiately nodded with indifference, "Okay."
After she left, a Big Boss who had shown no reaction released a segnt of consciousness, "Are you going to take her to your place?"
"Indeed," Feng Jun nodded, "There are so things I need to deduce."
The Big Boss pondered a while before asking, "Can’t you deduce in Kunhao?"
"No," Feng Jun shook his head, answering very decisively.
Actually, he was lying. He could deduce almost everything in any given plane. However, he intended to use the ti difference to completely consu his cooldown period while deducing whether he could still fit into that world after forming a core.
He thought there was a high probability he could stay on Earth, seeing how the Earth Spirit managed — if it could, why couldn’t he?
But generally speaking, it was still a hypothesis that needed to be verified.
Anyway, deducing himself was a process that required using that puppet, and Feng Jun had only two opportunities to use it, so he needed to be careful. That’s why he considered bringing Nie Chifeng as well.
That evening, Nie Chifeng quietly arrived, and Feng Jun pulled out the Spirit Beast Bag, "I need to put you in here."
Nie Chifeng felt insulted, and her expression changed involuntarily, "Mountain Master Feng, I have already sworn an oath."
Feng Jun’s face darkened, and he spoke impatiently, "Do you still have a Substitute Soul Puppet? If you do, you don’t need to go into the Spirit Beast Bag."
His aning was that if she still had a Substitute Soul Puppet for him to deduce with, then she wouldn’t have to go.
But Nie Chifeng completely misunderstood his aning: Are you saying not going into the Spirit Beast Bag is life-threatening?
A Substitute Soul Puppet was originally ant as a substitute for death.
However, her understanding wasn’t incorrect. Not going into the Spirit Beast Bag truly could result in death, but even the Substitute Soul Puppet would be useless.
Nie Chifeng just felt that entering the Spirit Beast Bag was an insult, but knowing now that entering the Spirit Beast Bag was for her protection, she nodded decisively, "Alright, I really don’t have a second Substitute Soul Puppet."
Feng Jun collected her into the Spirit Beast Bag, and the rest of the people were taken into the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda by Feng Jing — even Yu Qingzhu was not an exception.
The next mont, he took Feng Jing and returned to Earth, released the people from the manor, and with the Spirit Beast Bag in hand, directly transferred to the Alps Mountains.
There, he released a small estate in the mountains, gathering spiritual energy while conducting the final deduction of the Chaos Sky Swallowing Technique. This deduction took over ten days.
Ultimately, he deduced a total of seventy-one thousand six hundred and forty-two versions. The differences were not significant, but through various combinations, these many versions erged.
After filtering through these versions, there was only one suitable for his cultivation. However, before proceeding, he needed to return to Luohua to see if there were any matters to handle.
Indeed, there were things to handle, like the supply of crude oil and iron ore. At the sa ti, nurous communication devices and second-hand industrial equipnt were being brought into the Cultural Town.
Notably, a state-owned enterprise finally conceded to Liu nglong, wanting to sell their stockpiled equipnt cheaply — because factories with similar equipnt had all their related devices sealed by higher authorities.
The higher authority had only one requirent: if you want to sell these as scrap, it must, and only can, be through Liu nglong!
This demand was so domineering, giving off a strong vibe of a secret deal.
But in fact... wasn’t there a secret deal in the first place? After all, Luohua had donated the Electric Power Gathering Array and the Loyalty Test Array. Feng Jun didn’t make any requests, but did he really need to?
So people didn’t believe it and didn’t want to sell at scrap prices, but within days, audit departnts ca to check the accounts, followed soon by the tax departnt...
Upon receiving the news, Liu nglong’s first reaction was to inform Luohua—are you going to buy them at scrap prices?
Currently, Zhong Lijing was in charge at Luohua, and instead of acting imperious, she dutifully sought Zhang Caixin’s advice. The second-in-command of Luohua indicated that the boss was a bit busy and they should wait for his return to discuss it.
Zhang Caixin actually had no interest in wielding power. For her, cultivation was more important than anything else, so when Xiao Zhong ca to consult her first, she was satisfied enough; making decisions was a minor issue.
Upon his return, these were the issues Feng Jun needed to handle. Regarding Liu nglong’s situation, he easily understood the logic involved and knew this was an official gesture of goodwill, so he told Liu nglong to increase the price by twenty percent on the scrap.
This twenty percent increase was not about being a fool but about thanking the seller for at least protecting the equipnt — those who put in an effort should receive more.
Of course, the increase was only twenty percent; not a penny more. Feng Jun saw no harm in accepting this favor; who would be against money?
As for equipnt that wasn’t well-protected, it was simply purchased as scrap.
Handling these matters took Feng Jun another two days, during which he frequently returned to the Kunhao Plane to transport crude oil and iron ore. However, no one asked where Nie Chifeng and Zhang Caixin had gone.
After settling things in Luohua, Feng Jun returned to the Alps Mountains once again and released Nie Chifeng this ti.
While inside the Spirit Beast Bag, Nie Chifeng had no sense of the passage of ti, but she could vaguely feel that she had been inside for quite a while. A bit dissatisfied, she remarked, "How long has it been... hey, is this the Absolute Spirit Land?"
As expected, she imdiately noticed the difference in spiritual energy here.
