Chapter 592: Chapter 592 Each Has Their Own Demands Chapter 592: Chapter 592 Each Has Their Own Demands Zhuang Haoyun really disliked the tone with which Yang Yuxin asked her questions.
She hadn’t offended him, just sowhat ignored him, but it had been a long ti since Director Zhuang had been treated this way.
With the status of the Zhuang Family, almost everyone he worked with maintained a surface courtesy.
Even if so harbored dissatisfaction or mocked him behind his back, it was rare to see soone completely ignore him.
Zhuang Haoyun initially didn’t want to reveal his trump card, but upon hearing her words, he could only force a smile, “So fortuitous coincidence, I guess.”
However, Yang Yuxin didn’t doubt his words and simply nodded, “Indeed, he was willing to treat my daughter, which is also her good fortune. Initially, I only spent a million to request his services… he has a soft spot.”
She rembered clearly that it was her daughter’s moan that Feng Jun couldn’t bear to hear, prompting him to take direct action.
“A million… that’s really not much,” Zhuang Haoyun nodded. His son would cost ten million a day, and that was a loss, given that he had what Master Feng needed; otherwise, it seed like Feng wasn’t even willing to lift a finger.
However, if you say Master Feng is soft-hearted, I’m not sure—I doubt he would’ve treated had I not brought that Fortune-Bringing Gem.
In the end, his position was still sowhat lower than Yang Yuxin’s. It’s not that Director Yang doesn’t understand soft-heartedness, but at her level of insight, she’s fully aware of the consequences of possessing great power and handling matters personally.
Nonetheless, he didn’t feel that the gap between himself and Director Yang was unimaginably wide. He even shared a similar thought with his son—that the two youngsters might spark sothing interesting.
So he smiled and offered, “My son will be staying here for three more months; I hope Director Yang’s daughter can offer him so guidance on things he doesn’t understand.”
Yang Yuxin didn’t even look at him and answered casually, “There’s no need for guidance. The rules here aren’t many—strict at best. Master Feng, an ascetic from beyond this world, dislikes it when his words are violated.”
Zhuang Haoyun wanted to get closer to the Gu Family and said with a touch of envy, “The Maoshan Sect is indeed fortunate, being from the cultivation world, they have a lot in common with Master Feng and even received treasures passed down from their ancestors.”
Yang Yuxin gave him a deep look, feeling a surge of alertness—What does that remark an? The Spirit Stones of Maoshan are what I’ve set my sights on.
She wouldn’t give way in such matters and simply smiled politely, “That Little Celestial Master from Maoshan… seems pretty sensible.”
Zhuang Haoyun, a man seasoned by society, noticed the subtle detachnt in her eyes and nodded with a smile, “Indeed.”
He was smiling on the outside, but inwardly he thought with a snort: The Zhuang Family has had cultivators too, and I initially wanted to bring you into the fold, but since you aren’t appreciative, why should I press my warm face against your cold backside?
After that, the two of them ran out of conversation.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and the weather in Zhengyang had been good, with the sun shining brightly and temperatures noticeably rising.
Despite the onset of winter, the bamboo leaves in the Bamboo Forest seed to regain a little of their vitality.
Zhuang Zesheng had spent two days in the Bamboo Forest, and his vitality had improved significantly. Not to ntion anything else, but when it ca to eating, he could devour more than two pounds of noodles, a pound of at, and an equal portion of vegetables in one al.
At his age, having a big appetite was normal, and eating particularly more would help his vitality recover even faster.
Master Feng, who speculated about Maoshan’s Spirit Gathering Array, also made so initial progress.
This Spirit Gathering Array differed greatly from the Spirit Gathering Array of the Earth Plane in principle and in manifestation.
Maoshan’s Spirit Gathering Array decreased the concentration of Spiritual Energy in concentric circles, with an effective radius of roughly an acre.
However, on the Earth Plane, the Spirit Gathering Array’s effective range was about a hundred square ters, not quite two hundred, and inside the array, the Spiritual Energy was almost evenly distributed, though it also decreased, but at a very rapid rate.
On the periphery of the array, it’s basically akin to mooching off the Spiritual Energy and not suitable for stable cultivation.
Additionally, Maoshan’s Spirit Gathering Array consud very little, because the Spiritual Energy decreased step by step; the area with the richest energy wasn’t very large, so although the coverage was extensive, the consumption of Spirit Stones was minimal.
Feng Jun believed this was because cultivators on the Earth Plane, facing the decline of Spiritual Energy, had no choice but to modify the Spirit Gathering Array to allow more people to cultivate using fewer resources.
In fact, for him, who visited the mobile phone Earth Plane, although Maoshan’s Spirit Gathering Array could cover an area of six hundred square ters, apart from the core hundred square ters, the remaining five hundred square ters were basically unsuitable for cultivators in the Qi Refining stage to practice.
In the mobile phone Earth Plane, the vicinity of the Spirit Gathering Array allowed cultivators at the Qi Refining Initial Stage or even the Mid-stage to cultivate—Chen Junsheng entered the first layer of Qi Refining by absorbing that excess energy.
Especially outside the core area of two hundred square ters of Maoshan’s array, the concentration of Spiritual Energy was even lower than the average on the mobile phone Earth Plane.
That is to say, although this Spirit Gathering Array had six hundred square ters, cultivating within the outermost four hundred square ters was not as good as simply finding a place on the mobile phone Earth Plane.
The Age of Dharma Decline is really so sad; you buy a costly array, consu Spirit Stones with a heavy heart, but it’s still not as good as the natives of the mobile phone Earth Plane.

It’s that saying: All roads lead to Ro, but it doesn’t account for…so people being born in Ro.
Of course, despite all these various inconveniences, there is no doubt that this thing can really gather spiritual energy.
So how dense is the spiritual energy at the core of Maoshan’s Spirit Gathering Array?
The ten or so square ters closest to the core can sustain the cultivation of Qi Refining Initial Stage cultivators, but it’s absolutely insufficient for those at the Mid-stage Qi Refining level.
In other words, cultivating with this array plate, the limit is the Qi Refining Initial Stage; although, for so geniuses, there might be exceptions.
Feng Jun tried cultivating in the core area for a bit—he actually wanted to see if the recovery speed of spiritual energy from the Spirit Gathering Array could support the leap from the Qi Refining Initial Stage to the Mid-stage Qi Refining level.
After analyzing for a while, he felt it was extrely strenuous, or perhaps with a grinding effort, by accumulating over a long period of ti, one could barely break through.
Perhaps, this was the sorrow of that Revival Ancestor.
Feng Jun was initially curious why, with the existence of the Spirit Gathering Array, the Revival Ancestor didn’t use those four Spirit Stones to elevate his own realm—especially since the energy of two of the Spirit Stones was almost depleted; keeping them for future generations didn’t make much sense either.
But now he understood. The Ancestor indeed wanted to use the Spirit Gathering Array, but the spiritual energy recovered from it was aningless to him.
Perhaps, when his own spiritual energy was severely depleted, he could replenish it through the Spirit Gathering Array if he wasn’t in a hurry, replenishing it slowly through ditation and cultivation.
In short, Maoshan’s Spirit Gathering Array didn’t have much practical use for Feng Jun.
The consumption of Spirit Stones was indeed minor, but the array could at most accommodate one Qi Refining Initial Stage cultivator.
Especially beyond the core area’s 200 square ters, it could only help martial artists with their cultivation, and the effect was not significant.
Feng Jun also knew that his own Spirit Gathering Array consud a lot, but now, what he lacked for his cultivation wasn’t these few Spirit Stones; such savings didn’t an much to him.
Of course, he still noted down the Analysis Formation thod; at the very least, it was an idea that he might refer to in the future—It was ti for him to start building a foundation for his own family.
That was Feng Jun’s attitude, but Tang Wenji’s was completely different. Seeing that her family’s Spirit Gathering Array really worked, she was initially delighted, but two days later, after entering the center of the formation to feel the spiritual energy, her mood changed.
Tang Wenji sighed, unable to hide her disappointnt, “My Maoshan’s Spirit Gathering Array is… not as good as the one in the Bamboo Forest.”
Although her realm was low, her ability to perceive spiritual energy was still unimpaired.
Feng Jun wasn’t surprised she had noticed this, so he replied with a smile, “My Spirit Gathering Array has a bit more spiritual energy, but the consumption of Spirit Stones is huge. Compared to your Maoshan’s Spirit Gathering Array, it’s a case of each having its own rits.”
Tang Wenji couldn’t help it anymore, “You’re so wealthy, and still you haggle with us!”
In fact, she wasn’t particularly good at hiding her temperant. Cultivators, apart from those deceitful ones, are also expected to maintain the purity of a child’s heart.
Feng Jun didn’t get angry, but just gave her a look, “Whether I’m wealthy or not is my business. Do you expect to donate all my family’s wealth to Maoshan for it to be deed correct?”
Tang Wenji knew her own words weren’t quite appropriate, but she still felt the need to argue, “You and I are fellow travelers on the Cultivation Path, friends even share financial bonds, let alone Daoist companions?”
Feng Jun ignored her—if she thought there was nothing wrong with such an argunt, then he might as well save himself the trouble of dealing with her in the future.
In fact, half an hour later, Tang Wenji regretted her words, as she faced a similar situation.
After the two had studied the array plate and saw that the day was not young, they packed up. Soon after, Zhuang Haoyun approached them briskly from a distance, “Master Feng, I have sothing I would like to discuss with you.”
As they left, Yang Yuxin beckoned from afar, “Wenji, there’s sothing I would like to talk to you about.”
This manner of summoning seed a bit disrespectful, but Tang Wenji didn’t dare to say anything. She was already quite younger than the other party, and considering Yang Yuxin’s significant background, she had to listen obediently even if her father was present.
She walked over, smiling as she spoke, “What would you like, Director Yang?”
Yang Yuxin pondered for a while, waiting until Feng Jun was out of sight, before speaking seriously, “I want to buy two of those four Spirit Stones from Maoshan… na your price.”
Upon hearing that, Tang Wenji was taken aback, her temper flaring—You want to buy my Spirit Stones, and two of them at that?
If it had been Feng Jun, he would probably have exploded upon hearing such a request: What an utter outrage.
Tang Wenji felt the sa way, but Maoshan… is a worldly branch of the Daoist Sect!
The truth was she and her father had already anticipated such a scenario and had discussed how to deal with it.
