Chapter 782 - Chapter 782 Chapter 782 Fleeting Water (Three More for Monthly

Chapter 782: Chapter 782: Fleeting Water (Three More for Monthly Pass) Chapter 782: Chapter 782: Fleeting Water (Three More for Monthly Pass) Feng Jun did not feel frightened or intimidated, but instead, he thought that Huang Fu Flawless’s behavior was a bit affected. He smiled faintly, “Hehe, I’ve already said it’s an exception, you don’t have to be so dramatic. It’s just a Qi Refinement Realm magic artifact, after all.”

When Huang Fu Flawless heard this, she felt a little embarrassed. In her heart, she was somewhat aggrieved–I’ve genuinely never seen a Sword Qi type magic artifact before.

However, having known Feng Jun for so long and testing him so many times, she could understand why he might find it annoying.

Moreover, this time Feng Jun was strolling through the Fang Market, and she indeed asked someone to keep an eye on him, otherwise she wouldn’t have received the news so quickly.

But this was not because she harbored any ill intentions–rather, with every step taken in understanding Feng Jun more deeply, she increasingly wanted to collaborate with him more closely.

But just based on Feng Jun’s enigmatic demeanor, not just her, but anyone who switched places with her would also not dare to openly cooperate with him.

Of course, if one wanted to deepen cooperation, there were many ways to go about it. Gradually increasing the stakes from a superficial relationship to a deeper one was also a decent choice–as the old saying goes, time reveals a person’s heart.

However, Huang Fu Flawless had only recently realized that, with the hot sale of perfumes, Mount Zhige’s reputation was becoming increasingly renowned. She was very worried that if things continued like this, Feng Jun would catch the attention of other large merchants.

Deepening her understanding of Feng Jun quickly was also an urgent need for her.

So faced with Feng Jun’s subtly expressed displeasure, Huang Fu Flawless paused and then, gathering her courage, she smiled and spoke up, “I was presumptuous, but there’s something I don’t understand… In your sect, are you in such shortage of Water System techniques?”

“Your curiosity is a bit too much, isn’t it?” Feng Jun’s face darkened as he spoke coldly, “My sect has all kinds of techniques.”

All kinds of techniques? Huang Fu Flawless certainly did not believe this. Every sect in the world had its specialties; who could claim to have it all?

But she didn’t mind it and took it as him boasting. The real issue was her next question, “Then why are you so attached to techniques like the Hundred Rivers Confluence? That’s hardly worth a Nether Bead.”

Sure enough, people who spoke with confidence were different. To a Loose Cultivator, spending thirty-six thousand for a set of the Hundred Rivers Confluence technique would be painful, but ultimately someone would buy it. But in her eyes, it was too common.

Feng Jun looked at her as if she were an idiot, “Are you really foolish, or just pretending to be?”

“Feng Jun!” Huang Fu Flawless was so angry she stamped her foot, “All because I’m a little too curious, you insult me like this? You owe me an explanation today, or else… watch out!”

“I took in a disciple today,” Feng Jun’s mouth twitched backward as he spoke with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “I have to find her a suitable technique, right? There are many techniques in my sect, but I didn’t bring any with me…”

Huang Fu Flawless instantly understood but then her eyes widened, “The little girl you took in has an Innate Gold constitution…”

She cut off halfway through her sentence.

Feng Jun rolled his eyes helplessly, barely concealing a laugh as he replied, “You finally got it. Remembering that ‘Gold generates Water,’ I need to get both Gold and Water System techniques to see which one suits her better for cultivation.”

His words weren’t exactly unreasonable; a Gold constitution didn’t necessarily have to cultivate Gold techniques.

From a cultivation standpoint, some suited a more unconventional path, making it easier to improve their cultivation level. Yet, others did better with a well-rounded development. A Gold constitution cultivating Water techniques wasn’t hard, and while progress might be slower, the developing trend would be toward a Five Elements balance.

Which was better was hard to say; one could only note that the latter was more difficult, not that it had poorer prospects.

As Yun Buyao’s guidance person, Feng Jun was making life plans for her–this was truly beyond criticism and instead showed he was responsible.

Of course, Huang Fu Flawless didn’t know that on an alternate plane called Earth, there was someone known as Zhang Caixin with an Innate Water constitution.

Truth be told, if Yun Buyao had any other Innate constitution, Feng Jun might not have taken her in–his main consideration was that Zhang Caixin needed specialized Water techniques.

So what about her Innate constitution? Feng Jun was short on Spirit Stones and wouldn’t hastily make a decision–even if the little girl looked pitiable.

There were plenty of pitiful people in the world; he was far from being in a position to “benefit the whole world.” He didn’t have the ability to be that kind of great benefactor.

By taking in the little girl, he then dared to actively inquire about Water techniques.

Huang Fu Flawless accepted this explanation but still felt that something was off.

After pondering for a moment, with an odd expression, she spoke, “Then you could have waited, right? It wouldn’t have mattered if she started training a bit later…”

“Enough!” Feng Jun cut her off, his face showing a full-fledged expression of compassion for the world.

He spoke in a low voice, “She has already failed guidance once, which has caused great harm to her young mind. How could I allow her to experience that a second time?”

“Hehe,” Huang Fu Flawless actually laughed, “Stop kidding, I know you’re not practicing altruistic techniques just for the sake of the Mortal World. Why don’t you tell the truth? Thirty-six thousand is so expensive, it doesn’t look like you can afford it… Speak the truth, there’s a reward.”

Feng Jun looked at her squarely, speaking earnestly, “Chairman Huang Fu, to tell you the truth, I’m not short on Spirit Stones. It’s just that they are all stored in my sect.”

Huang Fu Flawless didn’t quite believe his words, so she responded with a smile, “Right, you’re not short on Spirit Stones, and your Flying Boat doesn’t need Spirit Stones to operate… Since there are so few places to spend Spirit Stones, you must have saved quite a bit, huh?”

Feng Jun fished out a cigarette, lit it, took two deep drags, and then spoke in a heavy voice, “Well, I think it’s too much trouble for a Loose Cultivator to protect just one Mortal. I hope by the time I come in next, she has already transcended Mortality.”

Actually, it was such a speech that truly showed he had no shortage of Spirit Stones–because it was too troublesome to bring in a Mortal, so he would rather spend 36,000 to purchase a Cultivation Technique to enable the little girl to transcend Mortality.

If he really wanted the little girl to transcend Mortality, just throwing over a copy of Five Elements Transcendence Technique would have been enough–she had Innate physique, what couldn’t she cultivate?

So, it’s the invisible showing off, that truly has the greatest impact.

Huang Fu Flawless fell for it.

She analysed the logic carefully and felt that it really made sense: If it were me, I’d probably, for the sake of smoothing over this little trouble, directly toss out 36,000 Spirit Stones–some little troubles are really annoying.

She even felt smug about it, thinking that her spiritual state wasn’t much different from Feng Jun’s.

Chairman Huang Fu did not realize that, unconsciously, she had placed herself in the position of a pursuer.

In any case, she nodded her head, “Okay, I accept your explanation… but it’s not that I’m foolish, it’s that I didn’t realize.”

She felt there were many things she hadn’t realized, at least she hadn’t carefully considered why Feng Jun, an obvious pauper, would be willing to spend 36,000 to buy a copy of Hundred Rivers Confluence–it simply didn’t make sense.

Feng Jun gave her a faint glance, a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, “Actually whether you accept it or not, doesn’t really matter, you’re not anyone to me… In any event, it won’t be a precedent.”

It was then that Huang Fu Flawless remembered her original intention was to find out what the Five Elements Sword Qi Technique was all about, even forcing the other party to bring out their Magic Artifact, and then she continued to press on about the Water System Technique tirelessly.

After a moment of silence, she spoke solemnly, “I was impolite this time. The Metal and Water System Techniques you asked for, leave it to me, and the price will definitely satisfy you… Consider it a little gesture of goodwill from me.”

She was willing to accept a loss–she raised the question, and the other party answered, so naturally, the questioner had to pay a price.

She might be the young miss of the Huang Fu Family, but she was also the Chairman of the Tiantong Commercial Alliance Eastern Branch; she couldn’t have sat in that position without some responsibility.

Feng Jun was startled, turned his head to look at her, and then laughed, “There’s no need.”

This was his aloof attitude, whose purpose was clear without asking. In living life, one must hold their ground when it’s called for.

Of course, Huang Fu Flawless wouldn’t agree, but she cleverly used reverse psychology, “The Techniques I find are always indeed exceptional, of course… the price might be a bit steep, you can sign an IOU.”

Feng Jun glanced at her, “I can’t afford anything too expensive; otherwise, I’ll just buy it in the Fang Market. I won’t be signing any IOUs for you.”

After all, when he bought the Five Elements Sword Qi Technique, he was waiting for this outcome.

Huang Fu Flawless could understand, you’re penniless and still don’t want to swallow an insult–really spoiled by your family.

She walked to one side, pulled out a walkie-talkie, put on a headset, and instructed her subordinates to find Water System and Metal System Cultivation Techniques.

About half an hour later, her subordinates reported back with seven or eight types of Cultivation Techniques, dazzling to look at.

Feng Jun took his time choosing, and finally picked a Cultivation Technique called Life of Water Technique and another called Heavenly Luo Edge.

Huang Fu Flawless laughed, “You really do have a special fondness for Water System Techniques.”

“Heavenly Luo Edge isn’t bad either,” Feng Jun answered casually, “How much are they in Spirit Stones?”

The Life of Water Technique was a legitimate Great Dao Cultivation Technique, it went up to the Ascension Realm, but subsequent Techniques were available, such as the Boundless Water Scripture, aiming at unification with the Dao. The marvelous aspect of this Cultivation Technique was that halfway through, one could switch to the Five Elements system, change to Yin Yang, or even Chaos.

Feng Jun was more than satisfied with this Cultivation Technique.

Better Water System Techniques did exist, but they were fundamental Techniques for major powers. Not to mention him, even Ancestor Huang Fu might not be able to acquire them.

Huang Fu Flawless really gave him a fair price, 25,000 Spirit Stones, even cheaper than Hundred Rivers Confluence in the Technique Store.

Such a powerful Technique selling for so cheap was hard to justify, but in fact, Hundred Rivers Confluence in Tiantong was only 18,000 Spirit Stones–given Tiantong’s trading partners, such a Technique couldn’t possibly sell for more.

Of course, the Life of Water Technique was still sold at too low a price. That being said, when it comes to choosing a Technique, the Technique also chooses the person. Many people could cultivate such a Great Dao Technique, but not many were the most suitable for it.

No matter how you looked at it, Zhang Caixin was one of the most suitable candidates. Only when the Technique was sold to her, was it appropriate to price it higher, and in this aspect, Chairman Huang Fu had the flexibility to decide.

But no matter how sincere the price was, 25,000 Spirit Stones was still an amount Feng Jun couldn’t afford at the moment.

Huang Fu Flawless didn’t say anything, just smiled and watched him, wanting to see how he would take the secret manual without signing an IOU.
