Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112: The Object of Destiny

Can this problem really be solved? Feng Jun was also questioning himself.

According to the mobile phone’s analysis, this was radiation, and Feng Jun didn’t think he could solve the problem with radiation.

From a genetic perspective, since Kong Ziyi inherited her mother’s genes, she consequently inherited the curse, which implies it could involve genetic mutations that are inheritable.

In the face of such a possibility, Feng Jun still had no solutions; his expertise was in business administration, not genetic engineering.

However, there was another possibility. After contemplating for a while, he looked up at Master Sumiao, "I need some time to think seriously about this."

Seeing that he didn’t flat-out refuse, Master Sumiao already breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded without hesitation, "Agreed."

Feng Jun then made another request, "To analyze this curse better, I need to study an object of Qi Fortune."

"An object of Qi Fortune," Master Sumiao pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you mean to own it, or just to study it temporarily?"

Objects of Qi Fortune are extremely valuable. In the Earth Realm, people believe in "one’s life first, fortune second, Feng Shui third," and this plane places even more importance on Qi Fortune. It is valued not only in the Cultivation World but also in the Mortal Realm.

Feng Jun smiled, "Of course, it’s only for temporary study. Such a treasure, even if you gave it to me, I’m afraid I couldn’t bear the responsibility."

"Then that’s an easy matter," said Master Sumiao, flipping her wrist, and suddenly there appeared a cyan-colored badge in her hand, made of neither metal nor stone, yet dazzling to behold.

With a lift of her hand, the cyan badge hovered in the air, "This is my Taiqing Elder Token, connected to the fortunes of Taiqing."

Feng Jun took the token and felt its essence before speaking again, "This...I will definitely study it, but since you carry the Taiqing Token with you, Disciple Zi Yi must be familiar with it. Therefore, studying it might not yield any results."

"What about an object of Qi Fortune from the Mortal Realm? What do you think, Master?"

Master Sumiao nodded decisively, "An object of Qi Fortune indeed has some effects. Every time Zi Yi’s aura invades me, the best effect I get from purging it is by cultivating in the Merit Hall. However, when Zi Yi cultivates there, it only suppresses the invasion temporarily..."

It turns out she had tried this before, which explained why she readily produced the Elder Token. Knowing that even temporary possession of the token gave Feng Jun substantial authority.

Feng Jun’s eyes lit up, "So Qi Fortune suppression is effective?"

Master Sumiao sighed lightly, "It’s only temporarily effective. She can’t cultivate in the Merit Hall all year round."

She was also helpless in this regard. The Merit Hall of the Taiqing Sect was not a place for ordinary people. Even for her to enter, a process must be followed, and there was no guarantee of gaining access every time.

The qualifications of Zi Yi were a different story. She might occasionally enter once or twice, but to continuously cultivate there... for that, she would need a Nascent Soul mother, a Golden Core was truly not qualified.

Feng Jun nodded slightly, "Effective is good enough. The information you’ve provided can spare me from many detours."

Master Sumiao asked curiously, "It’s something I fumbled upon. How did you come up with this idea? Is there some theory behind it?"

Feng Jun smiled, "It’s just a guess. Chaos Yin Yang mainly affects the life of all things. If it were truly the aura from the beginning of Chaos, ordinary fortunes might not suppress it. But what you encountered was a nebula, which should not be the true Chaos Yin Yang."

Master Sumiao understood instantly. Before this, she had no clear idea about the origin of her daughter’s illness. Now that she knew the cause, reversing the logic to deduce many possibilities made things much simpler, "So it’s also feasible for her to cultivate in the Mortal Realm?"

Feng Jun gave a wry smile and spread his hands, "Where in the Mortal Realm can you find so many places with strong Qi Fortune? She would at least have to cultivate in a palace for it to be effective, but that’s... highly unlikely."

Master Sumiao thoughtfully nodded, "Well, yes. I was even thinking about making a trip to the Prefectural Governor’s office to borrow the Great Seal, but now it seems... I might have to borrow the Royal Jade Seal for a few days."

When she mentioned "borrow," it definitely wasn’t a polite request; it was more likely to take without asking, though she would return it later, hence "borrow."

However, the audacity of a Golden Core practitioner was apparent as she casually considered taking the Jade Seal.

Feng Jun was startled by the suggestion, "Isn’t the Jade Seal a bit too extravagant? Actually, if you arrange for someone to borrow items like a Phoenix Crown, it would be enough for me to conduct tests. Why make it public knowledge?"

Public knowledge? Master Sumiao didn’t really agree with that sentiment. In her eyes, the entire Donghua Country combined wasn’t as important as her granddaughter’s little finger. However, Feng Jun’s suggestion seemed quite feasible to her.

She said thoughtfully, "If it’s the Phoenix Crown, that’s indeed simple. Just sending her some treasures would be enough to borrow it for play for two or three months. My concern is... will the Phoenix Crown’s effects be too weak?"

"It will definitely be a bit less effective," Feng Jun nodded and then spread his hands again, "But what’s the difference? I’m only using it for research purposes, not hoping that the Phoenix Crown can cure the illness... In fact, the Prefectural Governor’s Great Seal would be enough."

"No," Master Sumiao waved her hand dismissively, the illness of her granddaughter was involved, and she would definitely not covet such a trifle convenience, "It’s just a Phoenix Crown, which can easily be managed... I’ll have Wan Feng handle this matter."

After saying this, she took out a paper crane and imprinted a piece of information onto it with her Divine Sense. Letting go of her hand, the paper crane flapped its wings and flew away.

Then she looked towards Feng Jun, "Are you saying that even the kingdom’s Jade Seal can’t cure Zi Yi?"

Feng Jun shook his head slowly, "I dare not make that judgement, but can a kingdom’s luck really match up to Taiqing’s Merit Hall?"

He truly dared not make that judgement; if he said it was possible, the other party might just "borrow" the Jade Seal directly. But even if the Jade Seal could dispel the Yin Yang Curse on Kong Ziyi, it was estimated that not much of its own luck would be left.

Should the kingdom’s luck be no more, the world would surely fall into great chaos. Although Feng Jun was beginning to feel a sense of superiority as a cultivator, he could not stand by and watch mortals suffer—he couldn’t forget that mortals are people too.

Therefore, he simply extinguished that notion from the other party’s mind.

Master Sumiao, however, nodded in agreement. She too did not believe that the luck of the small Donghua Country could compare with Taiqing. However, in the next moment, her eyes shifted, "Then, if you make progress in your research, from where do you plan to seek such powerful luck?"

Feng Jun glanced at her and answered indifferently, "I research mechanisms. If by chance I find a way to handle it, I may not need to rely on luck... If luck is feasible, why not Earth Vein?"

Master Sumiao was invigorated by his words. The Earth Vein Technique was a strong suit of the Taiqing Sect, "The Earth Vein can be used too? I hadn’t thought of that before... How should we proceed?"

Feng Jun spoke irritably, "Metaphorically speaking. That was just a metaphor! The current problem is that we need to thoroughly research the mechanisms first."

The matter of borrowing the Phoenix Crown was not something that could be completed in a short while. With nothing else to do, Master Sumiao then asked how one could precisely determine what Cultivation Technique a person should practice.

To be honest, she was truly shocked by Yun Buyao’s speed of promotion, but after examining and reexamining, she could not find the key reason. Thus, it could only be attributed to Feng Jun having chosen the right Cultivation Technique for Yun Buyao.

During these days, Lu Wanfeng also found out that the Broken Qingluo in Feng Jun’s possession was bought in the Qiuchen Market—a technique quite famous in the Qiuchen Market, crucially selling for one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

With Master Sumiao’s wealth, she would not consider one hundred thousand Spirit Stones as significant, but she knew that for someone like Feng Jun, who was in the early stages of transcending the mundane, it was an enormous fortune.

For a little girl he had picked up, he had specifically bought a technique priced at one hundred thousand, an act no one else could understand—after all, he had the Heavenly Wind Blade Technique at hand, which was not unsuitable for Gold Attribute cultivators to practice.

Hence, Master Sumiao had an intuition: Feng Jun might have a way to calculate the most suitable Cultivation Technique for a cultivator.

Such a method of calculation, even the Taiqing Sect did not possess—because the difference between Broken Qingluo and the Heavenly Wind Blade was negligible.

Master Sumiao was sure that even if she could get some ideas from Feng Jun, it would bring tremendous help to the Taiqing Sect.

But Feng Jun was not interested in this topic, "This involves the secrets of the Sect, please don’t make it difficult for me... I have business to attend to next, I need to make a trip to Xiyin City."

Master Sumiao glanced at him, "Need any help?"

To be frank, although her way of speaking was straightforward, often putting Feng Jun in a passive position, she was not too difficult to deal with after getting to know her, and she was quite enthusiastic.

Feng Jun smiled and declined her kind offer, saying he was just going to Xiyin City to retrieve an item left by Yan Xiaomo and expected to return by dawn the next day, during which time he hoped that Master Sumiao could help look after Mount Zhige.

After hearing it was the Storage Bag left behind by last night’s assassin, Master Sumiao lost interest, but she still advised Feng Jun to be cautious—the assassins’ methods of killing were far too numerous.

Feng Jun set off at night, bringing the Deng Family Brothers and Tian Lewen along. Tian Lewen was a witness, while the Deng Family Brothers were the local heavyweights of Xiyin City, familiar with the terrain.

The journey from Mount Zhige to Xiyin City was a full five hundred li. In the old days, traveling by horse-drawn carriage would take at least five or six days, but now it was much faster. Using the Time Shuttle, it took less than an hour to reach the outskirts of Xiyin City.

Feng Jun took Master Sumiao’s admonitions to heart and descended the Time Shuttle about four to five li away from the destination—that distance was no trouble at all for a martial master, let alone a cultivator.

The place where Yan Xiaomo hid the Storage Bag was on a secluded hillside, covered with dense woods.

Feng Jun, as usual, took out his night vision binoculars and scanned briefly to see if there was anyone around.

The next moment, he furrowed his brows: on the hillside... there was a faint white figure.

He stretched out his hand and spoke quietly, "Stop here, there seems to be a problem ahead... Deng Lao Er, are you sure no one lives here?"

Deng Lao Er answered straightforwardly, "This place is rife with poisonous snakes. People may come to catch snakes during the day, but absolutely no one dares to come at night, and as for living here... how could that be possible?"
