Chapter 1105: Chapter 1105: As One Pleases

As soon as Lu Wanfeng opened his mouth, Master Sumiao waved her hand dismissively yet firmly, "Wan Feng, shut your mouth."

Then she turned to Feng Jun, nodding with satisfaction, "You do have the guts, no wonder Ji Buseng gave you a Talented Scholars Plaque."

Your relationship with Ji Buseng makes me feel extremely confused, Feng Jun suddenly felt like his head was going to explode.

He wasn’t afraid of being overpowered by the other party; instead, it was this kind of messy relationship that more easily made him feel helpless.

If he felt it was chaotic, he might as well clear it up quickly, he smiled, "I haven’t completely rejected Master Busheng."

Master Sumiao snorted softly, "He can’t win you over. I’m a bit curious about what kind of background you have..."

Before she had finished talking, a faint yet overwhelmingly powerful Divine Sense enveloped him.

And once this Divine Sense was released, it stretched out for over ten miles... perhaps even more.

Golden Core Masters in the Mortal Realm aren’t supposed to use Spiritual Energy at will, but there are no constraints on using Divine Sense.

"Huh?" In the next moment, Master Sumiao softly exclaimed, "There’s a trace of spatial rule’s aura, you indeed come from a hidden sect."

Feng Jun’s face was expressionless, but inside he couldn’t help but bitterly smile: Nonsense, traveling back and forth between dimensions every day, how could I not have a trace of spatial aura?

But Master Sumiao never expected that he could often traverse dimensions—even though Lu Wanfeng had told her that this person had been to the collapsing dimension, she wouldn’t believe he could perform such actions regularly.

In plain terms, Feng Jun’s Cultivation Level couldn’t support him doing this frequently.

So she assumed that Feng Jun’s Sect must have independently created a small space or even a small world, hence he had traces of spatial aura.

——This dimension has never lacked legends about hidden sects.

Feng Jun quickly shook his head, "No, I come from the collapsing dimension, maybe you could check again?"

"Heh," Master Sumiao snorted in disdain, thinking that if you could fool me with such child’s play, where would my dignity as a master be?

Nevertheless, she acquiesced and sent out her Divine Sense again, even weaker this time, yet still expansive.

The next moment, she let out a light exclamation and then soared into the sky, flying straight towards Mount Zhige.

Feng Jun watched, dumbstruck, hey, what happened to respecting me as the host?

Seeing others also itching to try, he snorted coldly, "That’s enough, whoever dares to fly again, don’t blame me for turning hostile!"

The woman in the light green dress snorted coldly, speaking for the first time, "You flexing your authority over us, is that interesting to you?"

"I’m actually going to consult with the master," Feng Jun stamped his foot and soared into the sky like an arrow.

Huang Fu Flawless, seeing the woman in the green dress having trouble controlling herself, hastily spoke out, "Both of you, take care. Do you know what the master meant? If you spoil the Mountain Master’s plans, can you afford the responsibility?"

Lu Wanfeng couldn’t help but defend, "We’re doing this for our teacher’s sake."

At this moment, Huang Fu Flawless definitely wouldn’t be polite, she snorted coldly, "Are you saying that if Master can’t handle it, you can?"

Lu Wanfeng dared not take up such a bold claim and could only respond sullenly, "Having one more person is always better, right?"

At this moment, Feng Jun had already followed the woman in blue to the top of a peak in Mount Zhige.

Master Sumiao’s Divine Sense probed around and then flew directly to a depression. With a wave of her delicate hand, the scattered leaves, twigs, and stones on the ground vanished in an instant, revealing a dark hole in the ground.

She turned to look at Feng Jun, asking with curiosity, "What is this?"

Feng Jun’s heart couldn’t help but pound—damn it, the hole I had already filled in was dug up by you?

His heartbeat was really too fast. Although he considered himself good at controlling emotions, he didn’t think he could hide this abnormality from the master’s observation.

So his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Master, you already reside outside, flying in here so abruptly... many people saw it."

Master Sumiao could indeed feel that his emotions were a bit off, his pulse, breath, and mood were all a bit unstable, but upon hearing his words, she subconsciously thought it was out of anger, so she didn’t take it to heart.

She pointed to the pit and asked, "I’m just curious, this pit... seems man-made, and there seems to be a faint trace of Spiritual Energy inside. Can you tell me what’s going on?"

This was the first time a master had visited Mount Zhige, and Feng Jun had not expected that a master’s perception could be so abnormally sharp. The Spirit Stones that were still condensing... He couldn’t even remember how long he had dug this pit, and yet she was able to sense the Spiritual Energy from beneath the concealed rocks.

He composed himself and replied with a taut face, "I am practicing the Earth Vein Technique to enhance myself; there are many flaws, why would the master mock me?"

If he had given an evasive explanation, Master Sumiao might have been suspicious, but his sudden display of indignant annoyance convinced her—in fact, she also knew that Lu Wanfeng had once tempted him to go to the Taiqing Sect using the Earth Vein Technique.

Therefore, she couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, "Your Earth Vein Enhancement Technique is quite unique. May I ask from which clan you have learned this?"

Feng Jun’s face remained darkened, "My level of skill may be a bit crude, but I am a person with aspirations. If the master feels it is beneath notice, please enlighten me. As for my roots, I’m afraid I cannot answer that."

Master Sumiao felt that this guy was just playing dumb with the Earth Vein Technique, but she couldn’t outright say that his approach was wrong—perhaps he had his own set of theories. After all, Cultivators are the best at integrating the strengths of various schools.

However, she couldn’t possibly reveal the Earth Vein theories of the Taiqing Sect, so she understood his predicament.

Thus, she nodded her head, and her Divine Sense was released once more, this time even fainter, but no one would underestimate its power.

After around four or five seconds, she withdrew her Divine Sense and looked at Feng Jun curiously, "The Earth Vein... you really enhanced it?"

The Earth Vein Enhancement Technique of the Taiqing Sect is no trivial matter. A casual sensing by Master Sumiao confirmed that inside Mount Zhige, the Earth Vein had indeed changed, with certain corners showing improvement.

Although not all parts were enhanced, it did prove that some of Feng Jun’s experiments had been effective.

Feng Jun smiled and didn’t answer directly. Instead, he spoke up, "Master, it’s... improper for you to just fly over here like this."

Master Sumiao’s mouth twitched. She didn’t take the prohibition of Mount Zhige to heart.

Indeed, those below the ascetic stage are not to enter without invitation, but... I am at the Golden Core Stage.

She had shown earlier that she was willing to respect the Mountain Master as a courtesy. When she discovered something odd in Mount Zhige, courtesy was the last thing on her mind, and she flew over without a second thought.

Now that her mistake was pointed out, she wanted to retort, "I am a Golden Core; can you even manage me?" But it still wasn’t quite convenient to say so.

So, she frowned, "These pits... there’s more than one. What kind of theoretical system is this?"

Feng Jun looked at her indifferently, "I cannot possibly answer that. Why don’t you... try a Soul Search?"

He had actually begun to grasp the temperament of this woman—spontaneous and not one for pretense, and indeed, she had her principles; being at the Golden Core Stage without any would be impossible.

As the two talked, others had arrived through the official channels.

Master Sumiao glanced at them but ignored them, and instead spoke up, "Mountain Master Feng, this place... your place is off-limits to those below the ascetic stage without invitation, but what about those at the Golden Core Stage?"

"Hmm?" Feng Jun was startled by the question: Weren’t you planning to reside outside the mountain gate? That "humble abode" of yours is quite impressive; how come you now think of moving into my territory again?

But before he could voice his question, Lu Wanfeng spoke up, "Master, if you like this place, just buy it. I will discuss the price with Mountain Master Feng and make sure he’s not at a loss."

"You child," Master Sumiao looked at him affectionately, feeling that her disciple was indeed worth her affection, "Without Mountain Master Feng’s Mount Zhige, would it still be Mount Zhige?"

"The Master teaches me well," Lu Wanfeng nodded and stepped back, saying no more.

Feng Jun thought about it and felt that although Master Sumiao’s divine sense was sharp, after all, she had inspected the pits, and since she accepted his explanation, the biggest crisis was already over.

So he nodded, "If the master is willing to conceal her aura, living in Mount Zhige is fine. However, if you can’t control your aura, staying at the mountain gate is just as well, to spare me the trouble."

What he said was "to spare me the trouble," but someone attentive might speculate differently upon hearing it.

Huang Fu Wuxia understood his meaning—were a Golden Core Master to cause trouble in Mount Zhige, Mountain Master Feng would find it hard to cope, but it wasn’t a matter of "lacking the ability to handle it."

Master Sumiao didn’t pick up on it—not for lack of attention, but because she simply didn’t care. And why should she? It all came down to strength.

A Golden Core Master indeed should not act rashly in the Mortal Realm, but if she so much as lifted a finger, the entirety of Mount Zhige would be reduced to ashes and smoke.

She looked around and pointed at the distant courtyard of Feng Jun, "That must be where Mountain Master Feng resides, right? Just set up my lodging next to that big warehouse over there."

Next to the warehouse... that was actually a sensitive area. If it were You Longzi or Elder Bai Li, Feng Jun might not want to let them get too close, as both had a penchant for wealth.

But since it was a master asking personally, then... whatever makes you happy.

In fact, the sudden appearance of that humble lodging in the vicinity of the courtyard drew the attention of the Tian Family, Yu Family, and other clans. However, since Feng Jun was personally handling it, no matter how curious they were, they had to hold their thoughts.

Lang Zhen took the initiative to ask Feng Jun since the area was normally patrolled by the surveillance team, whether that would continue?

That’s when Feng Jun warned him that the courtyard was for entertaining honored guests, and everyone should keep their distance.

No one there was foolish. Though the lodging looked simple, it was still a newly appeared building and fence, and even a... vegetable garden! So everyone guessed: this must be a highly powerful Cultivator.

As to whether that person was a Golden Core... no one dared to guess, for to the martial cultivators of the Mortal Realm, is there a difference between a real person and an elder?
