Chapter 1327: Chapter 1327 Spiritual Cultivation Technique

Sun Wufeng was in such haste that he couldn’t find a suitable dwelling.

He could manage to get two low-end dwellings, but they were even worse than Feng Jun’s and weren’t presentable.

In the end, Master Yuanming somehow procured a brand new dwelling and tossed it to Sect Leader Sun, "Seize the opportunity to learn from Feng Jun. Even Yifeng’s Master doesn’t have many assets."

This time, four masters accompanied the compensation trip, but Lu Wanfeng was replaced by An Yuhong, and not a single Qi Refining Disciple was present.

Sun Wufeng felt Li Zhishen was inappropriate for this occasion, but Li Zhishen insisted that this time they weren’t going for a fight. Even last time we didn’t do battle, he just wanted to hear fellow cultivator Feng’s discourse and see if there were any insights into the Dao.

Xie Qingyun also assured that Li Zhishen was merely a bit offensive in speech to Feng Jun; he even suggested lowering his cultivation level for a duel. If he lost, he’d leave. Although it was somewhat arrogant, based on his understanding of Mountain Master Feng, the man wouldn’t care.

When Feng Jun met Li Zhishen again, he indeed felt a bit uneasy, but since the other party was willing to let go of previous disagreements, he wouldn’t hold onto it. Especially because... he really liked the dwelling Sun Wufeng brought, which was considerably larger than his original one.

Once the dwelling was received, the negotiation went smoothly, with the fees initially set at three thousand Spirit Stones for the Qi Refinement Realm and four thousand for the Mortal World Realm.

As for whether he accepts Spirit Stones or tokens, he was indifferent. The people sent from the Taiqing Sect were already quite core disciples, but they ultimately couldn’t make such a significant decision, so he waited for their final answer.

To Feng Jun’s surprise, Xie Qingyun pulled him aside and secretly handed over a set of "Nine Days of Spirituality," which was precisely the Spiritual Body cultivation technique he was seeking.

He whispered, "Master Xiaosong heard you were looking for a spiritual cultivation technique and entrusted me to bring it. Though it’s only the Qi Refinement Realm part, it’s a technique that directly points to the Great Dao."

No wonder he dared to bring Li Zhishen over; it turned out he prepared this backup plan.

Without hesitation, Feng Jun accepted it, "Thank you. How much for the Spirit Stones?"

"No need for Spirit Stones," Xie Qingyun replied with a smile, "Last time we came hastily, our attitude wasn’t quite right. Consider it an apology from the Peak Master."

"That won’t do," Feng Jun shook his head, and took out the technique with an intention of returning it.

Originally, Feng Jun didn’t like taking advantage of others without reason, let alone taking advantage of such a giant like the Taiqing Sect.

The other party may truly wish to apologize, but he couldn’t comfortably accept it. It’s crucial to stick to one’s principles. If one cannot realize this, they might eventually self-destruct from growing arrogance.

Therefore, he spoke resolutely, "Sect Leader Sun has already done the apology part, and I consider Taiqing Nine Peaks as one."

Xie Qingyun anticipated his response and thus spoke with a smile, "Then how about this: We plan to build some houses on Mountain Master Feng’s land for Taiqing disciples to use. Consider it as rent."

"That works," Feng Jun nodded straightforwardly, "I’ll allocate you a hundred acres. You may also set up a Spirit Gathering Array, but don’t extract oil underground... Also, make sure it’s more than ten miles away from my dwelling."

"Distance doesn’t matter; we mainly don’t want to be too close to Lantern Town," Xie Qingyun responded with a smile, "Mountain Master Feng, you have patrols here, and ordinary people can’t enter. We also seek tranquility."

After a pause, he added another question, "Mountain Master Feng, is the crude oil you have here used to extract diesel?"

Feng Jun was momentarily stunned, then nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes."

His smile was a bit helpless. Previously, he tirelessly explained that he engaged with crude oil simply because it’s useful. Yet no one believed him. Now, there’s no need for further explanation; people can guess these "Fossilized Insect Corpses" can be used to extract diesel.

Indeed, time is the ultimate convincer; no matter how great your divine skills, they pale in comparison to the passage of time.

As for whether Xie Qingyun’s inquiry hinted at coveting the oil field, he wouldn’t even consider such a possibility. Oil is indeed energy, but Spirit Stones are also energy; the unit energy difference between the two is vast.

Would a coal-powered country covet a lands of firewood? Or could a cultivator use oil for cultivation?

If Feng Jun didn’t have a sense of responsibility toward Earth, he wouldn’t care much about these oil fields either. At most, he’d co-develop with Tiantong, let the Huang Fu Family manage them, and use some for his enterprises when needed.

Nonetheless, he believed Tiantong Commercial Alliance might not even be interested in such a business.

Regarding You Longzi’s sabotage behind the scenes, the primary goal was likely to intentionally irritate people, coupled with some actual benefits. Only then would that guy fan the flames and later disappear without a trace.

Xie Qingyun nodded, hesitated, and asked again, "But I heard that the oil field operation schedule isn’t fixed?"

Feng Jun nodded again, "I don’t have much time to specifically develop it, but... I’ll have them build some more oil reserves later."

Previously, he thought that ten million-cubic-meter oil reserves were a lot, but since he needs to travel everywhere and can’t always stay here, and once there’s demand from the Earth Realm, the quantities needed are not small, making it easy to cause logistical issues.

Therefore, he plans to have Du Wentian build ten more oil reserves so that the workers have something to do—after all, this is the Cultivation Plane, and building an oil reserve is really simple, just use manpower directly.

Xie Qingyun inquired further, "When you leave White Pebble Beach to travel, how long do you generally stay away?"

Feng Jun furrowed his brow and eventually turned his head to look at him, "I’m not quite sure what you mean, what exactly do you want to ask?"

"I’m asking about the waiting time that disciples of Taiqing might face," Xie Qingyun replied with a smile, "Aren’t I building houses here? The maximum wait could be six months, but waiting a year differs completely in the number of disciples waiting."

"If it’s a maximum wait of six months, the scale of the houses can be smaller. If a year, then they need to be bigger...also with appropriate Spirit Gathering Arrays, Martial Drill Ground, and various living facilities."

"You really think a lot," Feng Jun said with a wry smile as he glanced at him, "Just leave a few disciples to deliver messages. Isn’t giving you a hundred acres of land enough? It even accommodates a His Holiness living place. Once I return, have them notify the sect disciples."

Xie Qingyun shook his head with a wry smile, "Mountain Master Feng, that’s where you’re mistaken. Most disciples from the sect travel using a flying boat...very few are willing to use the Transmission Array. Such a flight takes several months, and once they arrive after you’ve left, what then?"

"Haha," Feng Jun chuckled, then spoke seriously, "If you think that way, you’re mistaken. I let you use this place for Taiqing’s disciples to temporarily rest, not for them to wait for me here. I’m not promising to take care of them..."

"As for my whereabouts, I’ll go wherever I want. The Crimson Pheonix Sect also seeks after me rather than waiting in a fixed place, and you’ve got it better than them with Taiqing. You shouldn’t demand too much."

Xie Qingyun thought about it and nodded, "Alright, I understand."

Feng Jun gave him an amused look, "Did you figure out something else?"

Xie Qingyun smiled without denying it, "Since it’s a collaboration, enhancing mutual understanding is necessary. At least we know this isn’t Mountain Master Feng’s core land, just one of his enterprises, and I can help analyze this when I get back to the sect."

Feng Jun answered indifferently, "Then you should ask directly, why beat around the bush? Cultivation is hard enough already, having to constantly ponder people’s motives makes it unnecessarily difficult."

Xie Qingyun laughed again, "Then I’ll ask directly, where exactly is Mountain Master Feng’s real domain?"

"Of course, it’s the sect," Feng Jun answered without hesitation, "Whether it’s Mount Zhige, White Pebble Beach, or Qingfeng Ridge, I have some enterprises there and occasionally check in, but the sect is my real home."

Xie Qingyun was rendered speechless. The answer was impeccable, standard to the point of being unbeatable, but the issue was that nobody knew where his sect was. After pondering, he decided to fruitlessly ask again, "Dare I ask where Mountain Master’s sect is located?"

Feng Jun’s answer was also standard, "I’ve come out for Worldly Trials, so... apologies."

Matters were already negotiated, and the next day, the disciples of Taiqing left, even Kong Ziyi left—if identification tools need to be produced for Taiqing Sect, she would be a key witness, plus she knew Feng Jun better.

Being a disciple of a major sect carries prestige, but it also comes with unavoidable responsibilities.

The entire Taiqing Sect only left An Yuhong behind; she needed to nurse her energy and soul without much demand for cultivation, so she was just right to help Taiqing choose a location, and as for lodging...she stayed in Huang Fu Wuxia’s dwelling.

White Pebble Beach became a bit quieter, and Feng Jun mentioned to Du Wentian that he hoped to continue building oil reserves, and he planned to transform this place into a garden style, primarily for his comfort, and secondly...to ensure those workers could keep their jobs, right?

Transforming the entire White Pebble Beach into a garden, Feng Jun thought, would be unlikely before the Golden Core Stage—even before the Nascent Soul Stage, but the transformation could be done gradually, right?

Upon hearing this, Du Wentian was somewhat astonished, "Fellow Daoist, you should have mentioned this earlier, so there wouldn’t be so much delay. Dispersing them when there’s no work took quite some persuasion."

Du Shangren did well in this regard. Perhaps being bullied too much by the Lu Family’s three brothers made him dislike flaunting his status towards weaker individuals, so when workers had no work and returned home, they complained a bit—switch to a different Shangren, who would dare? fre\e(w)ebn ov.e l\. co.m

Feng Jun was slightly embarrassed, "Things have been too many, and I didn’t think of it at the time. It’s not too late now, there’s plenty of work, and I’m not short of Spirit Stones."

Indeed, he had a lot on his plate, but mainly, he hadn’t expected that after wandering around the Cultivation World, he’d actually be acknowledged by both the Crimson Pheonix Sect and Taiqing Sect. This temporarily purchased oil field wasn’t initially meant for serious business—getting crude oil sufficed, but now... Taiqing Sect actually wants to take root?

Du Wentian nodded, "Then I’ll go to town to hire workers, will you come along?"

At this moment, Big Boss’s intent transmitted over, "Not allowed to go!"
