Capítulo 2015: Chapter 2017: Who’s Afraid of Death
The Big Boss was feeling liver pain from anger and was suddenly choked by the reason of “judging heroes by success and failure”.
Then it sighed, “Alas, everyone thinks they’re the only one between heaven and earth. When I was young, I was even more flamboyant than you, and now I’ve fallen… no more to say, are you taking back to White Pebble Beach?”
“Yeah,” Feng Jun nodded, “But I’m about to hold a sphere formation celebration. Will it be dangerous for you to follow back?”
The Big Boss replied gloomily, “If what you’re transcending isn’t Apocalypse Tribulation Lightning, I might have no danger, but Apocalypse Tribulation Lightning along with sphere formation karma, you’ve survived throughout… tell yourself, am I in danger?”
So this was why the Big Boss was angry! Feng Jun understood, “Then should I place you sowhere first, or leave you here?”
“Forget it,” the Big Boss sighed gloomily, “Just take back, being alone is really boring. By the way, tell about your sphere formation experience. After going to White Pebble Beach, I’m worried I can’t just show up randomly.”
Feng Jun recounted the sphere formation experience, and upon hearing it, the Big Boss coldly snorted, speaking with a chilling tone, “Bold, to move my person… Do you carry Master Crimson Blood’s corpse with you?”
Your person? Feng Jun felt a strange sensation, was he actually being sheltered by soone? Although he didn’t quite like acknowledging Big Bosses, sotis after struggling for long, a thought of “not wanting to fight anymore” might erge.
But this Big Boss… sotis quite unreliable, yet very afraid of death, Feng Jun couldn’t completely rely on this person, “It’s not with , I hung it at the manor entrance at White Pebble Beach. You can see it when we go back.”
“Hung… then forget it,” as expected, the Big Boss never stays cool longer than three seconds, “If you had told earlier, I’d have a high chance to discover if that guy was being controlled, but now it’s long dead, finding out what secret technique affected him is difficult.”
It seed to realize its inconsistency was a bit embarrassing, so it explained a bit more, “The mode tribulation thunder aura on you is almost gone, can any other aura be stronger than this? But don’t worry, once I recover…”
“I’m not in a rush,” Feng Jun didn’t want to hear it say unnecessary things, so instead asked sothing practical, “I’m at Golden Core now and want to build a spirit vein at White Pebble Beach, but that Earth Spirit wants fifteen million spirits from .”
“Bold!” The Big Boss was furious again, “Daring to snatch my spirit stones, does that guy want to live anymore?”
“They’re my spirit stones,” Feng Jun answered earnestly, “I won’t embezzle your Mid-Rank Spirit but my spirit stones don’t fall under your managent, can we keep things separate?”
He felt he spoke reasonably but sotis the Big Boss was really unreasonable, “But didn’t you eat my Heavenly Fragrance Fruit? One fruit equals two Top-Rank Spirits, I won’t ask for those back as Top-Rank Spirits, just return as Mid-Rank Spirits.”
“Senior, one should be honest, otherwise it’s easy to lose friends,” considering the Big Boss’s reputation, Feng Jun was unwilling to be angry, “Back then, you gifted the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit to help progress… and as so reward, now do you want to buy it with spirit stones?”
The Big Boss actually had thin skin, initially intending to be unreasonable, but Feng Jun’s words made it embarrassed to keep pushing, “Alright, I know you have Mid-Rank Spirit ore on you, which wasn’t really much help to you… did you find Mid-Rank Spirit ore?”
This is… failing to calculate outsiders yet being skilled at calculating your own people, Feng Jun nodded, “I did mine so Mid-Rank Spirit, never planned to hide it, can give it all for your cultivation.”
“No need to give it all,” the Big Boss felt slightly embarrassed, “Anyway, when I need it, I’ll borrow so from you and will return it later… I just don’t want the little Earth Spirit to cheapen you, it must face punishnt!”
Your level at shifting bla is quite high, Feng Jun also knew, sotis the Yin Spirit Bigwig was quite whimsical and valued face, so he didn’t mind, “I’m considering whether to change a contract?”
“The contract certainly needs changing,” the Big Boss replied without hesitation, “I overlooked that you’re a cross-grade contract… but can’t bla , seriously your cultivation level was really too diocre, I wasn’t used to considering such possibilities.”
Like usual, it first debased Feng Jun before indicating, “The contract matter is easy, Soul-Capturing Contract, Life-Seizing Contract, Spirit-Seizing Contract… which one do you want?”
Soul capture, life seizing, spirit seizing… these contracts sound domineering beyond asure, Feng Jun pondered a mont and cautiously spoke, “These contracts… how do they compare to the Nine Dragons Water Control Contract?”
“Nine Dragons Water Control…” The Big Boss paused, then suddenly realized and comnted, “I thought it was another contract, turns out it’s the kind wielded like a whip and beating at random?”
Wielded like a whip and beating at random? Feng Jun thought a mont, feeling the Big Boss’s description was really apt, indeed a chaotic corporal punishnt.
This contract sounds terrifying, but its effect might not necessarily be great, “I just feel, it’s a small guy, and deep contracts might be hard to grasp, corporal punishnt seems scarier to little kids.”
His reasoning seed chaotic, but had so logic inside, so the Big Boss also found it reasonable and responded, “You have a Sect behind you, so you must have the dignity of a Sect, so thods although effective, fall lower… you understand my aning?”
Of course Feng Jun understood, however, the Big Boss insisted he should promote the Sect, in his heart, he couldn’t help but have other guesses, so he tentatively spoke, “Senior, you’re right, but I don’t have those rather advanced secret techniques…”
“I told you, I have it,” the Big Boss interrupted him without hesitation, “I’ll give it to you for free, don’t you want it?”
“It has to be confird that it’s for free,” Feng Jun replied seriously, “You can’t later ask for Spirit Stones.”
“You little rascal!” The Big Boss was angry, “The technique to form contracts across ranks was taught by , I also gave you a set of the Devouring Primordial Heaven Technique, didn’t I? Did I ever ask you for Spirit Stones? How can you slander soone’s reputation?”
“Haha, just joking,” Feng Jun laughed heartily, then put on a serious face and asked, “Is it because you’re worried that if I survive the seven streaks of Tribulation Thunder, I’ll be too high-profile, so you deliberately revealed high-rank secret techniques, to make others hesitate to act?”
“Hah, as if I’m the only one afraid to die,” the Big Boss scoffed disdainfully, “We’re both cautious types, who’s mocking whom? Isn’t this also protecting you? Dare you deny it?”
Feng Jun, upon hearing this, realized he was right. Especially since the Big Boss was actually angry, which ant that those secret techniques shouldn’t be a problem.
He chuckled awkwardly, “Then I must thank you, Senior. However… these contract techniques don’t co with any karmic repercussions, right? I don’t want to get a small advantage at the expense of implicating my Sect.”
“All contract secret techniques are fundantally the sa, how would they implicate your Sect?” The Big Boss expressed disdain, taking the opportunity to criticize him a bit, “You’re really quite weak, aren’t you? Don’t even know this… Spirit-Seizing, Life-Seizing, or Soul Capture—which do you choose?”
Feng Jun thought for a mont and tentatively asked, “Is there a three-in-one option? Or perhaps you, Senior, could give a recomndation.”
What he truly desired to use was the Life-Seizing Contract, as it would save him from needing various Life-Extending Elixirs.
“I recomnd you use the Spirit-Seizing Contract,” the Big Boss solemnly suggested and gave reasons.
“Life-Seizing isn’t aningful; the lifespan of a Five Elents Spirit is incredibly long. Even if you seize a few hundred years from it, it doesn’t feel threatened, especially for these young ones where a natural death is too far away… Moreover, prolonged Life-Seizing has heavy karmic repercussions.”
“As for Soul Capture, the karmic burden is slightly less, but carelessly it could turn the Earth Spirit into an idiot, rendering it useless.”
“Spirit-Seizing is a punitive deprivation of Spiritual Energy, which essentially has no karmic repercussions. The key is that many Five Elents Spirits in their infancy period are very sensitive to Spiritual Energy, so the punishnt is most effective. Look at that little Earth Spirit demanding Spirit Stones from you, you should understand their mindset.”
Feng Jun considered its words and felt they made a lot of sense, but he wasn’t ready to give up, “Isn’t there a three-in-one contract?”
The allure of the Life-Seizing Contract was significant; even with karmic issues, he didn’t want to pass up such an opportunity.
“Are you crazy?” The Big Boss was a bit displeased with his stubbornness.
“There’s no three-in-one; however, there is an absolute master-slave contract, but should you make such a contract, Nascent Soul and Ergence Stage Earth Spirits could attack you directly, and I doubt anyone would seek justice for you!”
“It’s fine if you don’t have it, I can deduce it,” Feng Jun replied casually, “Children make choices, adults want it all.”
“You… deduce?” The Big Boss was taken aback; it hadn’t considered Feng Jun was trying to acquire secret techniques, actually. If he asked for these three, it would have given them all without a second thought. It was sowhat intrigued, “Are you getting ahead of yourself?”
“How can you know if you don’t try?” Feng Jun replied straightforwardly, “By then, you can assess the results… The greater my skills, the safer we both are… wouldn’t you agree?”
“Well…” The Big Boss was quite tempted. Despite having many flaws, it maintained one principle very well: anything that could enhance its sense of security, it would strongly support, “Wait a bit, I’ll give you the secret techniques.”
The Big Boss spent about half a day recreating over a dozen contract secret techniques, most of which focused on Spirit-Seizing and Soul Capture; only three were about Life-Seizing. Just as the Big Boss said, they were fundantally similar.
Feng Jun didn’t have ti to ponder over them, imdiately taking the Big Boss back to the manor at White Pebble Beach.
Upon entering the manor, the Big Boss didn’t initially want to speak, but after sensing Feng Jun’s Tribulation Transcending location, it couldn’t help but comnt, “Quite the carnage? So the damage from the Samsara Tribulation Thunder was the greatest to you!”
Feng Jun, hearing this, couldn’t help but smile smugly, “To be honest, I’m kind of thankful for Master Crimson Blood.”
“White Pebble Beach still has Clan dogs?” The Big Boss snorted softly, “Let’s keep it under wraps…”
