Chapter 926 - Chapter 926 Chapter 926 The Surprise of Pure Gold

Chapter 926: Chapter 926 The Surprise of Pure Gold Chapter 926: Chapter 926 The Surprise of Pure Gold Feng Jun returned just in time, as Boiler Camel Motorcycles had already sold out, with lamps and diesel oil in short supply as well.

Perfumes were still available, but other small items were in a state of emergency, with some retail prices having tripled.

Luckily, Feng Jun brought a batch of Boiler Camel Motorcycles with him and immediately sent out a portion of the stock without hesitation.

There wasn’t much else to say, though Feng Jun had been away, the house was well-protected with the presence of the Wuyou Platform, Tiantong, and the Crimson Pheonix Sect estate nearby, and with Chen Junwei, an Innate Expert, at home, basically no one dared cause trouble here.

Previously, a slave pursued by the Geng Family from the Family Alliance reached this place, wanting to take someone away by force and injuring two patrolling Martial Cultivators. Members of the Alliance Clans like the Chen and Mu Families stepped in to stop them and demanded they listen to what would happen afterward.

The Geng Family people were very unwilling, even when Chen Junwei intervened, they only agreed to pay compensation but said they would return.

Chen Junwei, angered, detained everyone and demanded the Geng Family send someone of a higher rank to retrieve them.

The second time the Geng Family sent someone, there was another Innate among them.

Facing the Chen and Mu Families, Geng Xiantian stood his ground, arguing that this was Mount Zhige, not Yuntai or Baiyue. “We are all part of the Family Alliance. If you won’t help me, that’s one thing, but to actually help someone else? Have you forgotten the original intention of forming the Alliance?” he said.

In the end, it was Wang Botai, who happened to pass by and disliked him, who directly cast a Vine Technique to bind him on the spot.

Geng Xiantian was shocked and immediately apologized, also claiming that his family had members in the Cultivation World.

But Wang Botai, the rare academic obsessed with scientific research who had acted, was not someone who would be mollified by a mere apology.

He stated, “Then call your Geng Family’s Cultivators. Do you think the Wuyou Platform is afraid? Is it the Qi Refinement Realm or the Detached Realm?”

Geng Xiantian apologized again. Because in the Mortal Realm, there was a rule that “Innates should not be insulted”, Wang Botai did not take the matter further and simply drove him away. However, other troublemakers from the Geng Family were fined a hundred taels of gold by Chen Junwei.

That was the biggest trouble Mount Zhige encountered during this time; the rest were minor issues.

Now on Mount Zhige, with winter’s arrival, the population had slightly decreased, barely making up to five thousand residents, but their level of activity was still high, much more than that of Zhige County City.

The reason was simple: there were too many people coming and going for purchases, boosting the local service industry.

Especially in the big winter, when the ground couldn’t be farmed, some lazy or home-loving people would just stay in to get through the winter, but those who were more ambitious took the opportunity to work short-term jobs – after all, they would be idle otherwise.

With heavy snowfall, Lang Zhen and Tian Yangni consulted and began organizing people to sweep the snow, knowing that Feng Jun cared about this matter–last year was the same. Snow by the roadside could be left unswept, but roads had to be cleared.

Feng Jun got a rough understanding of the situation and was quite satisfied. He didn’t demand much from everyone, just a peaceful community.

However, he was frustrated that the snowfall made mining Spirit Stones used for condensation difficult. If there was insufficient sunlight or heavy snowfall in the coming period, mining Spirit Stones would have to wait until next spring.

This meant he would have to tough it out. If he couldn’t stay long enough here, he wouldn’t be able to mine Spirit Stones since things wouldn’t stop on their own even if he went back to the Earth Realm.

The snow clearing was left to Tian Yangni and Lang Zhen. After resting for a day, Feng Jun entered Mount Zhige and began to activate the Spirit Gathering Array.

The Spirit Gathering Array he used was the one from Pan Renjie – the Array Plate he won a ten-year usage bet on and didn’t want to waste.

Mount Zhige was covered in white snow, but this didn’t hinder Cultivators who could fly.

Feng Jun chose a part of the mountain where the Earth Vein was enhanced, not only activating the Spirit Gathering Array but also setting up several defensive formations. Now, with Spirit Stones and resources at hand, he could finally cultivate with more freedom.

While waiting for the Spiritual Energy to gather, Lang Zhen came to report that the Boiler Camel Motorcycles were sold out.

Feng Jun had brought two hundred Boiler Camel Motorcycles, which sold out in less than two days… in fact, it didn’t even take that long, with over five hundred units already reserved with full deposits, there simply weren’t enough to go around!

Many merchants had people waiting here, and it took two days because there were disputes over who should get priority.

Even those who came with Feng Jun, like Liang Zhongyu, didn’t manage to get a single Boiler Camel Motorcycle.

Now Feng Jun should have returned to the Earth Realm to transport Boiler Camel Motorcycles, but he wasn’t eager to go back. After all, he could only exchange them for gold, and he had no urgent need for gold in the Earth Realm, so why the rush?

Instead, it was better to set up the Spirit Gathering Array and cultivate for a while. Now that he had advanced to the Detached Realm, no one would complain about him openly using the Spirit Gathering Array.

He was actually quite curious about how quickly Yun Buyao would be able to cultivate the “Broken Qingluo.”

Yun Buyao had been ready to start her cultivation back in the Qiuchen Market, but Feng Jun had her focus on conditioning her body first to reach a better state and also hoped she’d start her cultivation on Mount Zhige to draw less attention.

Now that he had advanced to the Detached Realm, he didn’t need to worry about others’ attention–those in the Detached Realm had their privileges. But since everything was already almost planned out, why change anything?

After the Spirit Gathering Array reached a certain density, Feng Jun issued an invitation for everyone to join him in cultivation practice, but he only offered to host them for three days. After the three days, anyone wishing to continue cultivating would have to pay a fee.

No one felt his request was harsh, even the likes of Liang Zhongyu and the trio of Combat Cultivators. When practicing in the Qiuchen Market, one has to pay, unless one owns a Spirit Gathering Array.

After all, these four weren’t exactly short on Spirit Stones–they might be a bit tight-fisted, but from their battle with Liu Feng and others, they had obtained four Storage Bags, with each person getting forty to fifty Spirit Stones.

Yun Buyao was siphoning Spiritual Energy over three hundred meters away from the Array Plate. Inevitably, as a Mortal, she could only stay that far away; any closer, and she would explode.

Strictly speaking, the Spiritual Energy of a high-rank Spirit Gathering Array was not very friendly to Mortals, because after all, it was a man-made Spirit Gathering Array, and the Spiritual Energy was far higher than the surrounding area. There were inevitably some fluctuations during operation.

These fluctuations were extremely subtle, and if one didn’t actively feel for them, one might not even notice them at all.

However, that was for High-Rank Practitioners. For a Mortal like Yun Buyao, such levels of spiritual energy fluctuations were akin to the great tidal waves of the Da Chao, truly like a tidal surge crashing onto the shore.

The Martial Arts Masters like Lang Zhen and the Deng Family Brothers could endure such Spiritual Energy fluctuations, but for her, it was akin to torture.

She persisted in meditation for three days and still had not entered the Transcendence Realm.

In fact, such fluctuations in Spiritual Energy were most suitable for Yun Buyao’s physique and mind technique–sharpness comes from sharpening.

Feng Jun did not know this, as the mobile app was not omnipotent. Seeing that she had not transcended after three days, he felt somewhat disappointed, “Your progress is not even as good as Mi Yunshan’s.”

However, he did not have high expectations for her but felt a bit of regret that he could not collect more astonishing data.

So he left the Spirit Gathering Array, practiced some Yoga with Mi Yunshan, and then re-entered the Spirit Gathering Array to meditate and cultivate.

He estimated that it would take him about three months before he could attempt another breakthrough to the second and third levels of the Detached Realm–indeed, after entering the Detached Realm, one wouldn’t ascend three levels at a time anymore, only two.

Therefore, what he needed to do now was to push his Cultivation Level as close as possible to the peak of the first level of Detached to prepare for the advancement in three months.

If he could only ascend a little due to insufficient accumulation, he would regret it profoundly.

This time, he was more absorbed in his cultivation and did not know how long he had meditated before he finished his session and rose to his feet.

With a defensive formation in place, he did not pay much attention to the outside world, but upon first glance, he was somewhat dumbfounded, “Is it snowing again?”

The sky was filled with large snowflakes gently descending, and the snow on the ground… had surpassed two feet, as Feng Jun could see that most people were only able to expose the parts above their chests–resembling a series of half-completed statues.

It must be known that these people were sitting on stone stools when meditating, and the stools varied in height, but even the lowest was one and a half feet tall.

Yun Buyao was sitting on a stool two and a half feet tall, but she too only exposed the parts above her chest.

Snow doesn’t flow like rainwater; in many higher places, the snow accumulated correspondingly.

However, Feng Jun was not concerned with this; after he glanced at Yun Buyao, he involuntarily took a sharp breath.

Then he deftly flew out and casually grabbed Yu Changqing, who was about to leave, “How many days have I been in meditation this time?”

Yu Changqing blinked and then responded, “Are you asking if you returned the morning before last?”

Feng Jun fell silent and then nodded emphatically.

Yu Zhengqing also nodded, “That’s correct, you did come back the morning before last. During the afternoon of that day, Mi Yunshan advanced to the fifth level of Transcendence. Truly a Cultivation Seedling.”

She arrived at Mount Zhige at the seventh level of Transcendence and is now merely at the eighth level. But what shocked her was that Mi Yunshan, who, in her eyes, had comparable talent, managed to transcend from a Mortal to the fifth level of Transcendence within a year. This dealt her a significant blow.

What she found especially hard to accept was that Mi Yunshan was only practicing the Common Five Elements Transcendence Technique!

Thus, she was somewhat surprised that Mi Yunshan managed to advance to the fifth level of Transcendence yesterday afternoon.

“Ahem, yes,” Feng Jun coughed twice and disingenuously agreed, “Truly a Cultivation Seedling.”

His agreement was a bit too forced, and even Yu Changqing could sense something strange.

Following his gaze, she could not help but raise her eyebrow in astonishment, “No way? She’s already reached the third level of Transcendence?”

The focus of both their gazes was on Yun Buyao.

Feng Jun let out a wry smile, “I’m as shocked as you are, thinking I had been cultivating for a very long time.”
