In usual circumstances, Ji Buseng’s reaction would be understandable, but at this mont, the woman in green clothing pointed at by the mysterious ruler is unexpectedly at the Golden Core Eighth Layer!
The woman in green clothing slapped the air with her palm, refraining from further entanglent, and instead stood with her arms folded, speaking coldly, "Considering it’s your first offense, I’ll pardon you this ti. If you dare to act willfully again... you’ll die!"
"Such arrogance," soone sneered, arriving through the air, a little old man in a vest and shorts.
He resembled the little old man collecting rent in Huaxia but was actually Master Buzui of the Tianxin Platform, also at the Golden Core Eighth Layer, glaring coldly at the woman in green clothing, "An outsider, daring to behave presumptuously here... the True Immortal may leave, but you must stay!"
The woman in green clothing glanced sideways at him, ignoring him.
But within the cloud canopy, a pair of eyes flashed on the talisman at Master Buzui’s waist, and a low voice spoke again, "The Tianxin Platform Master? I am Yuan Fu; my female attendant was only defending a True Immortal’s honor. If there are any issues, co to !"
"Does being a True Immortal an you can intrude into others’ private residences at will?" Yet another figure appeared in a flash; it was the Da ng Executor, "The Master of the Ten Directions Platform wishes to witness the True Immortal’s dignity!"
Swoosh, swoosh, two more figures appeared, "The Master of the Wuyou Platform wishes to witness the True Immortal’s dignity!"
"The Master of the Wanfu Platform wishes to witness the True Immortal’s dignity!"
Following them were several more figures, including Master Guyue, Xia Nichang, and Yue Qing.
Yuan Fu True Immortal clearly didn’t expect that the True Immortals of the Kunhao Plane would be so stubborn. It was one thing for the Tianxin Platform Master, but the Master of the Ten Directions Platform... aren’t you in business? How could you risk offending custors like this?
Not to ntion, even the Masters of two more platforms appeared.
The True Immortals of the Five Platforms, he didn’t mind teaching a lesson, but now there were the Masters of four platforms before him. He had to reconsider if he wanted to act, and on this problematic plane of Kunhao, he had at most just one chance to strike.
After a mont of silence, he spoke, "I didn’t co today to stir trouble... Green Vine, apologize to the young friend of the Tianxin Platform."
The woman in green clothing was taken aback, raising her hand to bow to Ji Buseng without emotion, "I was a bit rash earlier, but I did exercise restraint. I hope you will forgive , fellow cultivator."
Ji Buseng looked at her, crying and laughing, his expression extrely peculiar. After a while, he shook his head, "Forget it, soone like you who lives without your own opinions, what’s the point of arguing with you?"
No wonder he was a cultivator of the Tianxin Platform, saying whatever ca to mind, indeed living with unrestrained grudges.
Yuan Fu True Immortal did not take it seriously either and spoke, "Since everything has been clarified, could I ask for young Feng’s presence for a discussion, or perhaps you could allow to enter?"
"I’ll notify him and see what he decides," Ji Buseng replied sternly, though he was stubborn by nature. This True Immortal was already willing to adhere to proper etiquette, so he wouldn’t be overly critical.
Actually, Feng Jun was already aware of Yuan Fu True Immortal’s arrival; with such commotion, how could he not notice? So his body swayed slightly and he had already arrived in front of the cloud couch, raising his hand to bow, "Feng Jun of White Pebble Beach, greets Yuan Fu True Immortal!"
Then he gestured with his hand, "Since the True Immortal has co from afar, please, if there is anything, feel free to discuss it inside."
Thus, Feng Jun led the way, followed by two puppet giants carrying the cloud couch, arriving at a place two or three miles from the manor.
i Jiushan had already received his signal and had released a portable residence at this point. Although not the best in Feng Jun’s collection, it was quite decent, with a courtyard area large enough for two acres.
Feng Jun invited the other party inside, but Yuan Fu True Immortal had the Green Vine lift the cloud canopy, revealing his true form.
Standing there was a middle-aged man with a gaunt face and an unnatural pallor. He looked at Feng Jun, speaking in a deep voice, "Congratulations on forming a Golden Core, young Feng. I’ve co unannounced not only to congratulate you but also to ask a favor."
Feng Jun felt a bit speechless; so he knew he had co unannounced too, but still demanded him to co out to greet—was this how one asked for a favor?
However, there was no point in dwelling too much on such matters; after all, he admitted his skills were inferior.
So he smiled, "Since the True Immortal has traveled far, if you have your own arrangents, please feel free; I should not have to particularly attend to it."
Hearing this, Green Vine’s expression changed slightly again, but this ti she rembered to glance sideways at her master.
Yuan Fu True Immortal raised an eyebrow slightly before nodding, "Indeed, a man of character... Aren’t you curious about what I’m asking you to do?"
"I’m not," Feng Jun shook his head, answering seriously, "With my shallow cultivation and low strength, I’m at your beck and call, clearly unworthy of a True Immortal’s request."
Green Vine’s expression changed again, unable to help but speak, "In the presence of a True Immortal, young friend, don’t misunderstand matters!"
"What do you an by ’self-deception’?" Feng Jun glanced coldly at her, "I may not be old, but I’m already of the Golden Core age. I’ve never seen soone so exuberantly seeking help... Do you have so misunderstanding about the phrase ’requesting a favor’?"
Green Vine was initially taken aback, then shook her head with a bitter laugh, "A True Immortal personally descending to seek you, isn’t that enough? Getting you to et them was supposed to be your opportunity!"
"Stop joking," Feng Jun shook his head with a smile, "I’ve seen a few True Immortals... If you wish for to be courteous, we can discuss everything else, but let’s leave it at that."
Green Vine was about to say sothing when Yuan Fu True Immortal spoke up, "Alright, Feng Xiaoyou, today was my mistake... I’m willing to offer one hundred pounds of Transformative Demon Beast Turtle Dragon at as a congratulatory gift."
Feng Jun shook his head, casually speaking, "I wouldn’t dare accept the apology of a True Immortal, but I can accept the congratulatory gift, and I have a return gift as well."
He originally was rather cautious, but now that he had gained influence, consistently being cautious was no longer appropriate. Seeing the leaders of the four platforms willing to stand up for him, he naturally had to have the confidence to "kill one, save one" —soone truly capable wouldn’t be without a temper.
Yuan Fu True Immortal’s brow couldn’t help but furrow. He did admit that his initial approach was indeed sowhat disrespectful to the other party, but a True Immortal is ultimately a True Immortal, while the other is only a Master—one is an "Immortal," and the other a "person," can they be the sa?
Green Vine couldn’t bear it either. Though she seed bold, it was just her instinctive reaction to maintain the dignity of the True Immortal. Now, realizing her master’s predicant, she lightly coughed, "It seems Friend Feng has a return gift equal to Turtle Dragon at, my apologies!"
Hence she wasn’t soone without brains; she was quite adept at needling people—according to Kunhao’s customs, a return gift doesn’t need to be equal in value to the congratulatory gift, but she insisted on saying it that way.
Feng Jun rely glanced at him sideways, "Do return gifts need to be of equal value? Is this the rule of the Five Pillar Realm? Well..."
He flicked his hand, releasing two pieces of crystal-clear wood, "Nascent Soul materials, I do have so... Will this do?"
Green Vine was indeed knowledgeable, seeing the two pieces of wood, her brow imdiately furrowed, "Nascent Soul Tree Demon?"
"Hmm?" Yuan Fu True Immortal’s brow slightly furrowed. With a thought, he took one piece into his hand, sensed it for a mont, then calculated sothing with his fingers, nodding thoughtfully, "Yet to undergo the Transformative Tribulation... Though it grew on the Kunhao Plane, it’s rare."
Then he looked at Feng Jun, this ti his gaze was much softer. As he nodded, he spoke, "I must admit, I was indeed mistaken. Feng Xiaoyou being favored by the entire Kunhao Realm, he is evidently capable."
"Strength in front of a True Immortal is but a joke," Feng Jun replied expressionlessly, "It’s just that I live sowhat willfully; I may not be able to do what I want, but things I don’t want to do... I’ll definitely not do."
A pale smile surprisingly appeared on Yuan Fu True Immortal’s face, "It seems with this visit, Feng Xiaoyou is rather resistant."
"A bit," Feng Jun nodded frankly, "An Immortal visits uninvited and reprimands , in the end saying they have a request... Why do you think I will definitely agree to your request, is it because my cultivation level is inferior to yours?"
The Cultivation World is ruled by the strong, that is the hard truth, but it isn’t the only standard. Morality, connections, influence—these all must be considered; otherwise, how can Yan Yuxi, rely a Dust-less Master, argue firmly in front of many Masters?
Feng Jun’s cultivation level surely isn’t as high as Yuan Fu True Immortal, but if one talks about his potential influence, he’s truly not afraid of Yuan Fu True Immortal.
Not to ntion his influence in Kunhao, even his excellent deduction ability, which can aid the Higher Realm’s Spirit Plant Path, his influence isn’t sothing Yuan Fu True Immortal can compare to.
Many are powerful because they themselves are strong, but so are powerful because they can help stronger individuals!
Yuan Fu True Immortal is strong enough himself and can help so stronger individuals, but his influence truly may not match Feng Jun—forget everything else, the sects behind the Three Sects are enough to be troubleso, and the Four Platforms aren’t easy to deal with either.
Thus, he could technically charge Feng Jun with ’disrespecting True Immortals,’ but he truly didn’t dare do so.
Finally, he realized he had oversimplified things, when a "master deducer" plans to reject a True Immortal, it’s not sothing difficult— even if that master is rely a Master.
Previously, he thought the rule of "saving one, killing one" was just Feng Jun’s requirent below the Master level.
Moreover, it’s said this person can be quite tolerant of so apparent violations—for instance, Nie Chifeng seed to make so low-level errors during the Golden Core process, but he still intervened, even putting himself in a risky position.
Yuan Fu True Immortal indeed had very inford sources, but it proved he misjudged Feng Jun’s attitude—the concern was rely to ensure success, not to worry about Crimson Pheonix’s wrath!
Otherwise, how else could this person have the guts to refuse a True Immortal’s request?
Tech-savvy individuals are truly annoying! He finally ca to this conclusion.
Yet, despite the annoyance, Yuan Fu True Immortal indeed had a matter to attend to, thus he straightened his expression, "I initially wanted to negotiate amicably, if this is your attitude, then I can only directly question... Are you certain you want this?"
