Chapter 1110: Chapter 1110 Chaos Yin-Yang Curse

Feng Jun was about to pay a visit to Master Sumiao when he suddenly heard the news brought by the Tian Family members and was taken aback.

"One cannot help getting annoyed with a lone ranger like Yan Xiaomo; you never know what else he hasn’t mentioned. If he hadn’t mentioned it to the Tian Family members, Feng Jun would not have thought that Yan Xiaomo had most of his wealth not stored at home."

According to Yan Xiaomo, he had a family but never let anyone know where they were. The place where he stored his wealth only had seven thousand Spirit Stones and some Magical Treasures and Cultivation Techniques.

These items were originally carried with him at all times, but because he was going to carry out a task in Mount Zhige, he hid them somewhere.

Tian Yangni recounted the events with fear and trepidation, "Mountain Master, what do you think we should do about this...?"

Feng Jun stroked his chin and then asked, "Now, why tell me all this? What do you expect to achieve by doing so?"

Tian Yangni quickly shook his head, "How could we dare to have any demands? We rely entirely on the Mountain Master’s decision."

Feng Jun knew that they did not dare to make demands to a detached cultivator, so he pondered a moment and said, "In my opinion, this news was obtained by the Tian Family, and your family even experienced a loss of life. It’s only right you wish to obtain all those items, and I support that."

"We wouldn’t dare," Tian Yangni hurriedly shook his head like a rattle-drum, "We, mere mortals of the Tian Family, how could we covet those items? Let alone all of them."

Feng Jun ignored him and continued on his own, "But from another point of view, the Tian Family has shown negligence in its defenses and failed to discover the issue in time. This has put me in a passive position and causes me some displeasure, you understand that, right?"

Tian Yangni nodded hurriedly again, "I understand, I understand. How about we dedicate everything to you then?"

Of course, he felt reluctant to give everything away, but to covet it all in secret was beyond his courage—after all, it was Feng Jun who captured Yan Xiaomo and entrusted his revenge to them.

If the news leaked and the Tian Family faced clan execution, Feng Jun would probably not speak up to help—it would be considered betrayal.

So he simply took a gamble on Feng Jun’s character, which he had some confidence in, in fact.

As expected, Feng Jun smiled, "Given that your family has both merits and faults, let’s split the loot half and half between our two families... Since currently there are no cultivators in the Tian Family, I’m willing to safeguard these items for you temporarily. Can you trust me?"

"Of course, I can trust you," Tian Yangni nodded and then bent his knees, kneeling on the ground, "Our Tian Family is willing to entrust all the items to the Mountain Master and only requests to foster three cultivators for our family."

Feng Jun paused for a moment, then laughed, "Three cultivators? Lao Tian, you’re quite ambitious. I’ll only promise to train one at the Qi Refinement Realm; as for the items, everything goes to me, the Spirit Stones are split half and half... and I will provide the resources for their cultivation."

That is to say, for bringing in this news, Feng Jun would leave them with over three thousand Spirit Stones, and for the Tian Family Disciple, before advancing to the Qi Refinement Realm, all cultivation resources such as Pills, Spirit Stones, and Techniques would be covered by Feng Jun.

This allocation scheme is neither harsh nor reasonable. Feng Jun’s attitude may seem a tad harsh for cultivators, but for a small secular family, it’s definitely generous."

Tian Yangni kept kowtowing, "Mountain Master, let it be two Qi Refinement cultivators then; whether it’s one sheep or two, it’s the same trouble... considering the loyal service my Tian Family has always provided you..."

"Aren’t you talking nonsense?" Feng Jun looked at him displeasedly, "Loyal and devoted? You initially wanted to kill me... Let’s not talk about the past, do you understand what ’guarantee of Qi Refinement Realm’ means?"

"It means I must train a cultivator to reach the Qi Refinement Realm for your family. If the first one fails, I must train a second one... and if he reaches Qi Refinement too late, it’s a disgrace to me. If I find he’s not suitable, I must replace him."

"Lao Tian, think about it. The Tian Family indeed has served me over the years, but due to your own negligence, a disciple died. In exchange, you got a Qi-Refining Practitioner and more than three thousand Spirit Stones in hand... Even Shangguan Yunjin doesn’t have that many Spirit Stones. This deal is already very worthwhile for the Tian Family, one must learn to be content."

Feng Jun still had more to say; had he been one of those ruthless cultivators, he would have directly seized all of Yan Xiaomo’s belongings, possibly training just one Qi-Refining Practitioner for the Tian Family as a conclusion of karma—who could say he was not acting appropriately?

So he thought of himself as someone comparatively soft-hearted, at least striving for relative fairness—even if it made him appear somewhat old-fashioned.

Tian Yangni, upon hearing this, had nothing else to say. To be fair, he had made the right bet; what emerging-stage cultivator would patiently explain these principles to him?

So all he could do was nod repeatedly, "Thank you, Mountain Master. I am not a greedy person, just unable to resist the temptation of a rare opportunity, wishfully hoping for two slots to help each other... Qi-Refining Cultivators from the Secular World who break into the Cultivation World generally have a hard time getting ahead."

Feng Jun knew he was speaking the truth, but still dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand, "It won’t be too hard. After all, as my disciples, they will have an Emergence Stage master, and with thousands of Spirit Stones, the starting point is actually quite high."

Tian Yangni had to admit that this made sense, so he could only offer a sheepish smile, "By the way, when you go to retrieve the items, be cautious. These things informed by Yan Xiaomo might not all be true."

Feng Jun dismissed it crisply, "I will definitely take someone from your family with me, just in case that fellow tries to deceive us. It is also to let your family be crystal clear, so as not to end up compensating thousands of Spirit Stones and still having to train a Qi-Refining Practitioner."

Tian Yangni wanted to say just that, but he dared not. He did not trust Feng Jun, so he hinted at it indirectly.

Of course, he did not anticipate that his curse would come true.

After sending Tian Yangni away, Feng Jun visited Master Sumiao to thank her for her warning and assistance last night. He didn’t assume that just because he wasn’t afraid of Yan Xiaomo’s attack, he could ignore the master’s support.

In life, one should be aware of their blessings. Be grateful to those who help you, no matter how small their assistance may seem.

In fact, Master Sumiao’s help was not insignificant; Feng Jun might not fear Yan Xiaomo, but Mi Yunshan, Sister Hong, and the good scenery in his courtyard could have suffered damage. He would have been distressed had anything happened to them.

In this meeting, the woman in green was sitting while the one in blue, Kong Ziyi, remained standing.

Master Sumiao had no interest in discussing her intervention from the previous night; instead, she was intrigued by Feng Jun’s great seal, "The great seal you used yesterday, is it a copy of the ancient Overturning Heaven Seal?"

"Some say that," Feng Jun took out the Mountain and River Seal and passed it to her while smiling and responding, "But I simply came upon it by chance and haven’t delved deeply into this artifact."

Master Sumiao became engrossed in examining the seal, growing increasingly interested, to the point of almost feeling an impulse to acquire it—essentially a forceful purchase.

She sensed that although the artifact was for those in the Emergence Stage, many of its profound subtleties had not been fully harnessed. If she were to study it further, she might gain new insights.

Ultimately, she did not ask for it but remarked with lingering attachment when returning it, "If you ever want to sell this item, remember to contact me. I will offer you a satisfying price."

Feng Jun chuckled without commenting, merely putting away the Mountain and River Seal.

Master Sumiao originally wanted to inquire about the pills he consumed yesterday, but seeing his demeanor, she couldn’t be bothered to ask—making her feel as if she, a dignified Golden Core, had to consult him about everything.

So, her expression darkened, and she said coldly, "Let’s continue from yesterday’s topic... On what basis do you believe that I can only accept male disciples? Don’t think that I’ll indulge you just because I helped you yesterday. Your answer must satisfy me!"

"That’s easy to explain," Feng Jun spread his hands, replying naturally, "I don’t know where you two have been, but I am certain that you’ve been afflicted by the Chaos Yin-Yang Curse."

Technically, the mobile phone defined it as "Chaos Yin-Yang Radiation", but the Kunhao Plane doesn’t have the word "radiation", and there’s theoretical dispute over this phenomenon on the phone’s plane. Some people consider it an opportunity, while others doubt it’s beneficial.

This term, of course, didn’t baffle the two. Master Sumiao remained expressionless, but Kong Ziyi could no longer stay calm. She raised her voice, "What nonsense are you spouting? I’ve never even left the plane. How could I have experienced anything from the initial opening of Chaos?"

The opening of Chaos refers to the rising of clear energy and sinking of murky energy, the initial separation of Yin and Yang, and then the birth of all things.

Such a scenario represents witnessing the birth of a plane. Even seeing this would be considered an immense opportunity for the Emergence Stage or Divine Spirit Stage, let alone for those at higher levels such as Fusion Stage or Tribulation Transcending Stage, who would express surprise upon encountering it.

This is indeed a tremendous opportunity and could even be seen as witnessing the birth and destruction of the Great Dao, immensely beneficial to one’s cultivation.

However, fortune and disaster are two sides of the same coin; the flip side of opportunity is risk.

Fathoming the Dao of Yin Yang’s creation aids in elevating a cultivator’s state of mind, but at the same time, if you cannot suppress the intention of the Dao that emerges, you would be eroded by the melody of the Great Dao. To what extent conditions might worsen, only heaven knows.

And this melody of the Great Dao is extremely difficult to dispel; forget mere Golden Core practitioners, it’s unthinkable for anyone below the Divine Spirit Stage.

Kong Ziyi had always sought the cause of her ailment. She had encountered the idea of the Chaos Yin-Yang Curse but dismissed it quickly—it didn’t seem related to her experiences.

I was born in the Kunhao Plane, grew up here, never left it; how could that be the cause of my condition?

Feng Jun didn’t argue with her but glanced meaningfully at Master Sumiao, "Perhaps if you ask the master, you will understand."

Master Sumiao’s face remained impassive, lost in thought for a moment before she spread her hands, "I have not witnessed Chaos’s birth and death either. Your explanation is unsatisfactory."

Feng Jun held his head up defiantly, "Then I ask Master to punish me as she sees fit."

But Master Sumiao had no response, and after a long silence, she sighed, "The truth is... Zi Yi... is my granddaughter!"
