Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: Double Promotion

Nangong Youjiu, upon hearing that slight hum, uncontrollably broke out into a sweat from his forehead.

At this moment, he dared not to conceal anything, hurriedly speaking out, "I heard that Mountain Master Feng is dealing with the Chaos Plane, and as it happens, we were also developing some business there, and I wanted to discuss this properly with Mountain Master Feng."

Feng Jun’s brows slightly furrowed, he said impatiently, "Why is it always this trick? I’m really curious whether the Nangong Family knows how to do business besides copying the Huang Fu Family?"

Nangong Youjiu knew his behavior was not quite appropriate, especially with a real person supporting Feng Jun right there, but when he heard that the Nangong Family was accused of plagiarism, he still couldn’t suppress the fire in his heart—that was the Nangong Family’s sworn enemy!

So he spoke with a serious tone, "Mountain Master Feng, that’s only what you see, in places you don’t see, the actions of the Huang Fu Family are not any more noble than the Nangong Family’s."

Feng Jun waved his hand, speaking with disgust, "I have absolutely no interest in learning who among you two is more noble, I only find it extremely annoying: you have a feud with the Huang Fu Family, go handle it yourself, why drag me, an outsider, into it? What are you trying to imply?"

Of course, he thinks you are easy to bully! Nangong Youjiu understood the logic clearly.

In fact, ever since the two families decided not to clash directly, squeezing each other’s partners became a common understanding, the Nangong Family did so, and so did the Huang Fu Family.

However, knowing that Master Sumiao was backing Mount Zhige, Nangong Youjiu secretly decided not to view Mount Zhige as a minor force anymore, so he sincerely responded, "Please be assured, Mountain Master Feng, this won’t happen again in the future."

However, at this time, Master Sumiao actually showed some interest, "Chaos Plane... What does Mountain Master Feng want to buy there?"

Feng Jun thought for a moment, took out a box of graphene samples, "This thing, I call it graphene. This is a mundane item, it’s only somewhat useful in my hands, useless for others to possess."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Youjiu couldn’t help but feel a challenge coming on, "Perhaps not, Mountain Master, you’ve exchanged a large amount of food for graphene, it’s only somewhat useful to you?"

Feng Jun, quite speechlessly, pointed at him, "You really love to argue, I can’t be bothered with you. If your Nangong Family finds it useful, just take it, don’t bother me."

Nangong Youjiu’s lips curled up into a cold smirk, "Mountain Master Feng, perhaps you are not aware, the force you were trading with has been eradicated; if you wish to trade again, the original channels might be unreliable... Only my Nangong Family can help you."

"Not interested!" Feng Jun responded decisively, "If you keep bothering me like this, I will not cooperate with the Nangong Family in the future."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Youjiu immediately shut his mouth; that graphene, already researched by some, because it’s stripped into very fine particles, could be determined as a material for artifact refining, yet no one really knew how to use it.

Thinking that Feng Jun had purchased so much at once, Nangong Youjiu became even more curious where this item would be used.

So his purpose for coming this time was not only to finalize the deal for graphene but even had deeper intentions.

But now... there’s no need to mention anything anymore.

Kong Ziyi, having heard this far, also lost interest, with a flick of her hand she released Nangong Youjiu from the restriction, "Stay out by the gate honestly. If you dare sneak away, I’ll go to Nanli Island and speak with your family elder."

Nangong Youjiu bowed and turned to leave without saying a word—what could he say?

Upon reaching the road, just as someone was pulling over on a motorcycle, he spent a silver coin to have himself taken to the gate; as for flying... that he dared not do at all.

Upon arriving at the Tiantong courtyard, he saw Huang Fu Flawless and Elder Xu sitting in the yard, eating ice cream and looking at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, not saying a word.

Nangong Youjiu felt a flush of heat on his face, yet he lacked even the courage to burst out, only glaring at Huang Fu Flawless and said in a low, suppressed voice, "Chairman Huang Fu, arrange three guest rooms for me."

Huang Fu Flawless did not bother over such minor matters, just nodded slightly, "It’s the same three rooms as last time, how long does Executor Nangong intend to stay this time?"

Nangong Youjiu waved his hand, quickly heading to the rear courtyard, speaking unhappily, "I will settle with you in silver coins, why ask so many questions?"

Seeing him disappear into the rear courtyard, Huang Fu Flawless then disdainfully smiled, she and Elder Xu, with their extraordinary vision, saw Nangong Youjiu getting rebuffed by Feng Jun, and returned from the gate to the courtyard.

They were quite clear about Nangong Youjiu’s frustration. Huang Fu Flawless was even more sure that Master Sumiao, a person who even disregarded the Nangong Ancestor, had taken action. How could Nangong Youjiu fare well after barging in?

Because of Master Sumiao’s presence, being a taboo topic, she also didn’t bother to mock the other party anymore.

Soon after, a wild goose descended from the sky, landing on Huang Fu Flawless’s hand, transforming into a paper letter, after she scanned it, she became furiously enraged and stood up heading towards the back courtyard.

After taking a few steps, she abruptly stopped, turned back to her own room, and made a phone call, "I’m looking for Mountain Master Feng..."

Feng Jun was still busy, Sister Hong’s condition had stabilized slightly, but he had to continue his role as a protector, to avoid losing all his efforts.

However, it wasn’t long before he slightly furrowed his brows and looked in amazement towards Tian Wangun not far away, "Is she finally about to breakthrough?"

Tian Wangun personally witnessed Sister Hong’s advancement and felt the aura of the advancement up close, which left her overwhelmed with mixed feelings, her mind in a chaotic whirl of thoughts.

Following that was a roar from Nangong Youjiu. Seeing Feng Jun fiercely protecting her by standing in front of the woman and regulating her inner breath, Tian Wangun felt envious and somewhat guilty: If I had known he was so responsible, why would I have needed to be so competitive?

To become a disciple is to stand on the shoulders of others, to ascend faster.

However, she was no ordinary woman; given the situation, she didn’t wallow in self-pity but decisively decided to let go of her apprehensions: Today is the ninth day, I should continue cultivating in the afternoon, and if there’s still no sign of a breakthrough, I’ll go seek him out to change my Cultivation Technique tonight.

Of course, since she was planning to change her Cultivation Technique, adjustments to her cultivation methods and even possibly many poses would need to be made...

With her apprehensions laid aside, she felt unusually relaxed physically and mentally, while nearby, Sister Hong was still in the midst of her advancement, her aura unstable.

However, as the saying goes, being desireless makes one tough and as good as water. Unbeknownst to her, influenced by a wisp of Sister Hong’s aura, she inadvertently entered a mysterious and profound state, completely unaware of it herself.

Feng Jun noticed her condition in time and called over Feng Jing with a gesture, "Help me watch her a bit. I will slightly separate the two of them to prevent mutual interference."

Feng Jing and Sister Hong initially had some aversion to Tian Wangun, but after knowing she chose the Fleeting Water Technique rather than the Soaring Dragon Royal Phoenix Union Technique, Feng Jing’s impression of her greatly improved—Who wouldn’t respect someone striving to be strong?

As for Sister Hong, she somewhat scorned Tian Wangun’s choice, not because she thought the latter was inflexible, but because Sister Hong felt that the girl had some ulterior motives—Was she aiming to conquer Feng Jun through this? Pfft, she should have the capability for that first.

They say in the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets—Sister Hong, who was worldly-wise, really saw things differently from Feng Jing.

But that’s digressing. In short, with two people advancing at the same time in a Spirit Gathering Array, there was definitely mutual interference. Fortunately, since their Cultivation Levels weren’t very high, Feng Jun managing to isolate their aura fluctuations meant that it wasn’t a big problem.

It was also because of this issue, that after Chairman Huang Fu Flawless made a call later, Feng Jun, through Liu Feifei, conveyed that he would contact her later as he was currently busy.

This delay pushed their next meeting to the next morning. When Chairman Huang Fu Flawless arrived, she brought some latest news.

She received the latest update from the Chaos Plane; the High-Rank Golden Core leader Hao Te was firstly assassinated, then died amidst an encirclement attack. His subordinates, two Golden Cores, also suffered—one died and one was injured; their power was entirely destroyed.

The surviving injured Golden Core was named Wu Jia. In fact, the turmoil originated from Wu Jia.

After receiving the food shipped by Feng Jun, their force was thriving, but they raised the prices and failed to secure any new supplies, leading to dissent among many subordinate members.

Even so, they remained a force not to be underestimated—having food gave them peace of mind.

However, feeling immense pressure, Hao Te forced Wu Jia to seek new buyers, and when Wu Jia made inquiries, trouble arose—many wanted to know where their food was coming from and what was being traded for it.

One might argue that the blame for this incident lies with Hao Te, but Wu Jia made a critical mistake by worrying about an invasion from another plane, so he had cultivators from his own plane make inquiries, which led to complications.

This inquiry turned into a disaster when their plane’s people took note and then chaos ensued.

Previously, Chairman Huang Fu Flawless heard that tumult had erupted in the Chaos Plane, but because the trade was halted, she hadn’t followed up in time, only casually informed Feng Jun—after all, to be chaotic is the norm for the Chaos Plane.

It was only yesterday that she learned, after Hao Te’s death and the collapse of his power, their stored graphene was pilfered.

People carrying graphene asked around randomly to see who would accept it. Some were intrigued by the unknown substance, but when they heard it was traded for two thousand times its weight in food, they immediately lost interest—so expensive, what if they incurred losses?

With the entire Chaos Plane short on food, trading such an essential commodity for something of unclear use was far too risky.

Then they remembered that the Tiantong people had introduced them to this venture, so they approached the Tiantong Commercial Alliance.

The Tiantong representatives in the Chaos Plane got in touch with the Kunhao Plane, which led to the Nangong Family becoming aware and directly taking everything under their control.
