Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340: Stranger Golden Core

Feng Jun looked at Chen Junsheng helplessly, have you even figured out the crux of the problem? Truly a case of muscles over brains.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to give the other person a hint, "The key issue isn’t here, but... what if there’s a leak?"

Chen Junsheng was dumbfounded upon hearing this, "Uh... a leak? Well, I guarantee..."

He wanted to assure that he wouldn’t leak any information, but if he dared to make this guarantee, it would undoubtedly insult Feng Jun’s intelligence.

He could guarantee not to delay work because the results of work can be assessed with the naked eye, but who can assess secrets with the naked eye?

If you think darkly, for those Innate experts desperate for cultivation, just the value of the "Six Harmonies Qi Cultivation Technique" is enough for them to leak some irrelevant privacy.

Seeing that he had apprehended the situation, Feng Jun smiled and nodded, "Understand now? I’m not in a position to promise anything either."

Can you really get benefits without giving anything in return? You’re all grown up and still don’t understand?

Moreover, the troublesome truth is that he indeed has big secrets, he used to have one, now he has two.

In reality, Feng Jun knew very well what’s in Chen Junsheng’s heart, this guy indeed wants to cultivate, this thought has been growing stronger, but he still doesn’t want to be restricted in freedom, otherwise, he would simply open his mouth and ask for a cultivation technique.

Yet he just won’t open his mouth, and Feng Jun wouldn’t offer him the technique voluntarily, right?

Ultimately, it’s about being unwilling to give in, now that he borrowed Feng Jun’s favor, someone sent him the cultivation technique, but he still wants to continue working here.

Feng Jun has always believed that having selfish desires is very normal, but when your selfish desires might harm others’ interests and you don’t care about others at all, that’s not good.

Chen Junsheng’s face scrunched up like a bitter melon, "Mountain Master Feng, to speak honestly, I’ve never leaked anything about you. Never before, never in the future—it’s not even a thought I dare have."

"I trust you," Feng Jun replied without hesitation, as he was considering future affairs—if people don’t think about the future, they must have immediate worries. As for the current Chen Junsheng, Feng Jun still trusts him, but people change, "Are you sure you can withstand the pressure from Yu Pao?"

Chen Junsheng looked at him puzzled, "If he dares to pressure me, isn’t he afraid I’ll complain to you?"

You’re truly not just ordinarily foolish, Feng Jun helplessly waved his hand, "You should go ask Jing Qingyang."

Jing Qingyang recently advanced to the Qi Refining Second Layer, he constantly remembers Chen Junwei’s kindness—without him, cultivation would be out of the question, even staying in the Cultivation World would be a problem.

In fact, his initial entry into the Cultivation World and securing a work visa were all thanks to Chen Junwei’s recommendation.

So when Chen Junsheng asked for advice, he couldn’t help but sigh, "How can you be so stupid?"

"Really?" Chen Junsheng never found himself stupid, "I’ve considered a lot."

"Mountain Master Feng is right, those who are favored tend to be fearless," Jing Qingyang sighed helplessly, his intelligence was no greater than Chen Junsheng, but having survived solo in the Cultivation World for so long, he’s seen too much darkness in human hearts.

He felt the other person was somewhat spoiled, "With such a great master in the courtyard, why do you accept someone else’s cultivation technique? Haven’t you seen how many techniques Mountain Master Feng has?"

"But those are Mountain Master Feng’s cultivation techniques," Chen Junsheng replied confidently, "Why would I ask for them, because I have a big face?"

"Who’s asking you to demand?" Jing Qingyang’s eyes rolled in frustration, "If it wasn’t for your brother’s face, I wouldn’t bother teaching you. I’ve never met someone so foolish... You can beg, become a disciple, or even purchase or exchange."

"You’ve met such a good person like Mountain Master Feng, you’re incredibly fortunate, but in the end... you’ve become so spoiled that you can’t even do anything."

Chen Junsheng was a bit dizzy hearing this, but after pondering for a moment, he grasped, "They may not accept me as a disciple, begging feels awkward, what do you mean by purchasing? I can’t afford it."

"You can pay in installments, you earn income here with Mountain Master Feng," Jing Qingyang was truly angry with his lack of progress, "You listen to the Mountain Master and Tiantong talking business every day, is your brain not functioning?"

"I understand," Chen Junsheng nodded. He wasn’t truly foolish, after being doused with all of Jing Qingyang’s cold water, he understood everything—he’s already holding on to a big opportunity, why hesitate?

So he clasped his hands and thanked Jing Qingyang, "Brother Jing, I’ll definitely repay your guidance in the future."

Then he walked out and went to find Yu Pao to return the cultivation technique.

Yu Pao is an indifferent person, giving Chen Junsheng an ordinary entry-level technique without much thought, just to foster a closer relationship, making future dealings smoother—it’s truly the way of the Mortal Realm neighbors.

Thus, he was very puzzled when Chen Junsheng returned the cultivation technique, "You don’t want to cultivate?"

Chen Junsheng was honest this time and said whatever came to his mind, "I want to cultivate, but... I think getting a cultivation technique from the Mountain Master would be better. Obtaining it from the outside makes me uneasy, and the Mountain Master might be biased against me."

Yu Pao blinked his eyes and understood the meaning—he was a very clever person, so he smiled and spoke, "I didn’t expect Mountain Master Feng to be such an expert, and those who follow him are equally extraordinary. So, how do you plan to cultivate in the future?"

"I’ll see how it goes," Chen Junsheng replied honestly, "I want to first apprentice under the Mountain Master, and if that destiny doesn’t work out, I’ll just buy a cultivation technique from him. I believe the Mountain Master can arrange one for me."

Yu Pao noticed the politeness in his response, which was simply a manner of cultivators from Wuwei Peak, considered as "not belittling to others," essentially superficial courtesy. However, hearing such a response, he couldn’t help but become more curious.

"Purchasing a Great Dao Cultivation Technique? It probably won’t be cheap. Do you have enough Spirit Stones?"

Even if I don’t, I wouldn’t dare to charge you! Chen Junsheng respectfully replied, "I have a monthly salary and can apply for an installment payment. Such a small request, I believe the Mountain Master wouldn’t mind."

"Then I wish you an early entry into Qi Refinement," Yu Pao raised his teacup.

After Chen Junsheng left, a half-smile appeared on his face, his mouth murmuring softly, "Installment payments? An amusing character indeed... Those who accompany him are truly extraordinary..."

Then he sighed softly, "It’s a pity, apprenticing... What qualifications do you have to be under his tutelage?"

He guessed correctly; Feng Jun indeed rejected Chen Junsheng’s apprenticeship. Of course, he didn’t outright refuse; he merely stated—if you can advance to the Out of Dust stage, I wouldn’t mind accepting you as a registered disciple.

Requiring someone to be an Out of Dust cultivator to become a registered disciple was indeed audacious. Even the Golden Core Masters of the Four Great Sects didn’t dare to say such things.

However, Feng Jun spoke with an open heart, and even the Yin Spirit Bigwig in his mind praised him—You should have this confidence.

As for purchasing a cultivation technique in installments, he agreed readily and even matched a copy of "Yin Yang Transformation" for him.

On a side note, "Six Harmonies Qi Cultivation Technique" would also suit Chen Junsheng well. Still, since Yu Pao had already given it to him, to avoid suspicion and to reduce trouble for Chen Junsheng, he wouldn’t provide it—it’s just proper conduct.

"Yin Yang Transformation" is relatively niche but is also a Yin Yang Great Dao. It sells for eight thousand Spirit Stones outside, but Feng Jun offered it at a twenty-percent discount for five thousand six hundred Spirit Stones, deducting slowly.

Once he handed the cultivation technique to Chen Junsheng, he heard the Big Boss speaking in his mind, "People from the East have arrived, over thirty cultivators..."

Feng Jun was confused as to why over thirty cultivators were worth mentioning, then he received this news, "Fifteen Out of Dust stage, one Golden Core stage, acting stealthily."

Whoa, Feng Jun was taken aback, "Golden Core stage... and stealthy? Is there a mistake, senior?"

The Bigwig snorted coldly, "If there wasn’t a Golden Core stage, would I bother notifying you in such a hurry?"

Currently at White Pebble Beach, Feng Jun’s side has two Out of Dust cultivators, Taiqing’s side has seven Out of Dust cultivators—this was even after the head of Tianyao Peak, Sun Wufeng, had arrived and left due to busy matters, and the Crimson Pheonix Sect side had four Out of Dust cultivators.

Adding on the three Out of Dust cultivators from the Tiantong Commercial Alliance and the hidden owl, there were as many as seventeen Out of Dust cultivators.

That number of Out of Dust cultivators could capture a Fang Market; with such strength, over thirty cultivators weren’t much.

However, a Golden Core Master among the cultivators represented a different dimension.

Indeed, within the White Pebble Beach faction, there’s Taiqing Li Zhishen, an Out of Dust ninth layer sword cultivator, reputed to overcome higher phases and kill enemies, slaying Golden Cores, but that’s possible with a weak Golden Core. Against a strong Golden Core, he’d experience what it means to be overpowered by rank.

"Ahem," Feng Jun cleared his throat slightly and addressed the three women still cultivating, "Let’s end here for today."

As he spoke, he subtly made a gesture—this was a secret signal the Earth Four had agreed upon.

A powerful enemy is approaching! The three women read the gesture, and although they had been trained not to show any reaction, upon seeing this signal, they couldn’t help but change their expressions slightly—this referred to a "powerful enemy" in the Mobile Phone Plane, not the Earth Plane.

Fortunately, they had rehearsed, so their slight unnaturalness was brief, and Du Wentian, who stood up nearby, didn’t even notice. Yet, the Yin Spirit lightly snorted—seems like this Bigwig’s peeping habit isn’t easily changed.

Du Wentian thought Feng Jun was ordering him to work, but he dared not feel any dissatisfaction—so many high-ranking Out of Dust cultivators from major sects are well-behaved in front of Mountain Master Feng, so on what grounds could he be resentful?

Thus, he smiled and responded, "I’ll go check the construction site to see if they’ve been slacking these past days."

"No rush," Feng Jun smiled and said, "Organize thirty people while Chairman Huang Fu is here to learn about electrical wiring and installation. It’s never wrong to have many skills."

Hearing this, Du Wentian was overjoyed. Being able to mooch off Feng Jun’s meals, drink, and the Spirit Gathering Array these days, he certainly knew about the training Huang Fu Wuxia was initiating—that’s when Taiqing Sect and Crimson Pheonix Sect were sending disciples specially to learn.
