Chapter 1115: Chapter 1115 Tian Wangun

Feng Jun found that neither of the Ascension Mirrors had any effect, and he too was troubled—should he use "people nearby"?

At this moment, Lang Zhen arrived with his two sons, not saying a word, and knelt in the pouring rain.

Seeing this, Liu Feifei also mustered the courage to walk out of the small courtyard and knelt behind Lang Zhen, frantically waving at her younger brother.

Her younger brother, already six years old and beginning to understand things, saw his sister kneeling there. Though he did not know what it meant, since his sister beckoned, he also ran over and knelt down with a thump.

Feng Jun had previously tested Liu Feifei’s attributes and knew that she bore both Yin Yang and a balanced Five Elements within her.

This attribute is truly common stock, but it indeed allows for cultivation. The Five Elements Transcendence Technique is the best choice, and the chance to advance into the Qi Refinement Realm is not low; the difference lies only in at what age one will advance into Qi Refinement.

The flaw of this physique is "limited potential", and it is already very difficult to advance into the transcendence realm, let alone advancing into the Golden Core stage, which would certainly require a great opportunity.

However, on this plane, there truly are people with similar aptitudes who have advanced to Golden Core, not just one person either.

Therefore, in small clans, if there are no other cultivation seedlings and there is no other choice, they may consider focusing on cultivating such individuals. In powerful forces, however, these individuals are left to their own devices—you can cultivate, but don’t expect to receive too many resources.

Thus, Feng Jun frowned and spoke impatiently, "Feifei, what chaos are you causing? I have plans for you. When you turn twelve, I will give you an opportunity. For now... take your brother and step aside."

Liu Feifei heard this, gave three kowtows—this was her way of showing gratitude for Mountain Master’s care—then took her brother and ran off like a wisp of smoke.

Feng Jun then glanced at Younger Brother Lang and Little Brother Lang, "Old Lang, just have the two of them practice martial arts, entering the martial path is not so difficult."

He knew full well about the aptitude of the Lang Family members but had not clarified it before. Now, his attitude was very clear: Your aptitudes are not suitable; entering the martial path is nothing to be ashamed of.

His attitude towards those around him was such; seeing this, the Tian Family members became even more desperate.

Tian Yangni mustered the courage to step forward, "Are... all unsuitable?"

Feng Jun shook his head, "There’s no particularly outstanding talent, but to be honest, this is really quite normal."

Tian Yangni mustered his courage again and spoke, "There are over a hundred more disciples who didn’t make the cut, can the Mountain Master help to have a look?"

Feng Jun waved his hand dismissively and spoke listlessly, "Then bring them all to take a look; I am quite curious, however, how you managed to choose them... Right, don’t leave either, just stand inside the courtyard."

He gave a nod towards Master Sumiao not far away, then turned and went back into the small courtyard, entering the room and closing the door behind him.

Seeing this, the others tiptoed tightly into the small courtyard, not even daring to breathe heavily.

Master Sumiao really wanted to know what Feng Jun was doing inside the room, but in the end, she refrained from projecting her Divine Sense to observe.

After a while, Feng Jun’s voice came from inside the room, "Alright, you may leave now. The next batch, come in."

The second batch, nearly two hundred people, entered; this time Feng Jun didn’t even come out of the door nor did he use the Ascension Mirror. He just showed impatience and said, "Yu Family, Chen Family, and Mu Family, step back. Don’t joke around; this is karma between me and the Tian Family."

Immediately, several dozen faces turned red, bowing towards the direction of the room and awkwardly retreating from the small courtyard.

They had followed Feng Jun as he began another round of tests, speculating that such testing would not be too stressful for the Mountain Master and hoping to sieze a chance for themselves.

Now that Feng Jun had discovered them and mentioned it was "karma between him and the Tian Family," who would dare continue to feign competence?

After a while, a sound of light surprise came from inside the house, "This... What’s the deal with this Tian Wangun, she’s already twenty years old?"

He once told Tian Yangni that disciples coming for the test should preferably be below fifteen years old, or at most extended to eighteen, but not older than that.

With Tian Wangun already being twenty years old, if Feng Jun were to choose her, it would leave her less than five years for cultivation.

Hearing this, Tian Lewen’s mouth twitched, but Tian Yangni gave him a smug glance, then respectfully answered, "Wangun is naturally intelligent and resolute, having decided not to leave the Tian Family. This test is the clan’s way of rewarding her."

Sister Hong and Feng Jing were in the room at this moment, looking through the glass at this scene, looking at the flushed-faced girl with her head down, both let out a light sigh simultaneously, exchanged glances, and the same thought arose in their hearts: Ill-intentioned visitors do not come bearing good.

Feng Jun inside the room was making calculations using "people nearby" and did not know what was happening outside. Hearing the conversation, he asked curiously, "What does ’decided not to leave the Tian Family’ mean, and how does that count as a reward?"

"It’s a long story," Tian Yangni replied with a smile, then raised his voice with a question, "May I ask, Mountain Master, how is Wangun’s aptitude?"

The door opened and Feng Jun stepped out. With just one glance, he saw Tian Wangun.

This girl... How should I put it? If Mi Yunshan can be likened to Sister Lin, then her aura is somewhat reminiscent of Miaoyu. Not only does she possess a natural beauty, but she also radiates an indescribable transcendence, bearing an exceptionally noble temperament, with a faint sense of pride exuding from her.

That came as a surprise to Feng Jun. The Tian Family, unlike those prominent clans, is but an insignificant rural family that would struggle even to dominate a county, yet they produced a girl with such a temperament.

If Tian Wangun had been born into the Chen Family, the Mu Family, or maybe the Mi Family, the Yu Family, Feng Jun wouldn’t have found it peculiar. But for the Tian Family, with its humble background, to give birth to a woman of such lofty character, it truly felt like a golden phoenix flying out of a chicken coop.

While he was astonished, Tian Yangni took another proud look at Tian Lewen: See? The older ginger is the spicier.

Tian Wangun is Tian Lewen’s cousin; both share the same grandfather. From a young age, she was known for her exceptional intelligence, and her beauty even became renowned throughout Xiyin City.

In those days, martial cultivator families often favored sons over daughters. The Tian Family intended to marry her off well, so they didn’t let her practice martial arts, instead lavishly cultivating her in literature and etiquette.

However, the Tian Family’s foundation was ultimately somewhat lacking. Unable to climb too high up the social ladder, at the age of thirteen, she was betrothed to the son of a Chief Arrestor in the prefectural city.

Before she could marry, the Chief Arrestor offended a brutal bandit, leading to his entire family being slaughtered.

At fifteen, she was promised to a wealthy family in the county seat, but just as her husband-to-be was about to marry her, he carelessly fell into the water and was already cold when fished out.

Once could be dismissed, but it happened twice, and rumors of her being a ’husband-curse’ spread uncontrollably.

Latterly, an old clan elder from the Yangshan Gu Family, undeterred by her reputation, proposed to take her as a concubine, which Tian Wangun felt was a grave insult.

She firmly rejected the proposal, declaring that she would remain unmarried for life and grow old in the Tian Family.

To avoid further entanglement with the Gu Family, she hid at her maternal family’s home, only returning after hearing about the fall of the Gu Family.

Given her notoriety, Feng Jun should have heard of her. However, her reputation had been somewhat marred; no one would have mentioned her before the downfall of the Gu Family. After that, Feng Jun had already achieved Innate mastery.

By that point, mentioning her would be pointless; Feng Jun was destined to become a hero of his generation, and she had no chance to be considered as a potential partner.

Eventually, as Mountain Master Feng rose to prominence, others were left with nothing but to look up to him, daring not to associate him with an ordinary woman.

This time, when Feng Jun was taking in disciples, Tian Wangun was quite tempted to try. She was held back by her cousin, Tian Lewen.

Defiant, she went to Tian Yangni, saying, "I have no intention of marrying now. I’m a Tian in life and will be a Tian in death; I can’t be viewed as someone to be married off. Although I am a bit older, I’m only seeking this opportunity."

Tian Yangni always had some unspoken calculations in his heart, but he dared not to infuriate Feng Jun, saying, "You’re a bit older; I’ll let you come to Mount Zhige first. Whether you can participate or not still depends on the specific circumstances."

Just then, he heard that the country girl who cooked for Feng Jun, Mountain Master Feng, would get a chance, so he resolved to take a gamble—Mi Yunshan was given a chance, Liu Feifei was too; is my Wangun that much inferior to them?

Tian Lewen wanted to stop him, as it hinted at provoking Feng Jun. Tian Yangni became agitated, "If he can choose disciples, he will not care about this provocation; if he can’t, he might even consider Wangun."

He regarded Mountain Master Feng as a magnanimous person, but such a statement couldn’t be made explicit; it could only be conveyed in this manner.

Now... as expected, reality proved his guess to be correct. Feng Jun was inside the house, asking about Tian Wangun—it was evident that he had observed her appearance and aura with his Divine Sense.

If Feng Jun could hear his thoughts, he would probably want to kick him: Your out-of-this-world Divine Sense can see someone’s appearance?

However, after seeing Tian Wangun’s appearance, he felt... maybe I will be misunderstood by others.

He looked around and realized that nobody dared to meet his gaze. Mi Yunshan’s eyes always carried a trace of sadness, but today, he felt it seemed a bit deeper.

Turning to Tian Yangni, the old man’s eyelids drooped, his face expressionless, but the corners of his mouth were slightly lifted—clearly, this was a sign of his inner pride.

Feng Jun found the expression quite distasteful, but considering that he is an ascended being, he felt no need to stoop to their level.

To put it more bluntly, does it matter to him how these people perceive him?

So, he lightly coughed and said, "It seems the youths of the Tian Family hardly have any chance."

Then he pointed at Tian Wangun and added, "Only this overaged Tian Wangun shows a glimmer of potential... The only pity is that she will have to marry off eventually."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yangni hastily spoke up, "Mountain Master, I have already explained to you, she won’t leave the Tian Family, never."

Feng Jun glanced at him, his expression quite strange: What the hell... what kind of person do you take me for?
