Chapter 679: Chapter 679: Tang Wenji's Ulterior Motive Chapter 679: Chapter 679: Tang Wenji's Ulterior Motive Tang Wenji's mouth hung open in surprise upon hearing these words, “A Qi Refinement Realm butterfly?”
Let alone her, even the first person who ever saw Hua Hua couldn't believe that such a butterfly could be in the Qi Refinement Realm.
When Hua Hua heard this, it flapped its wings and flew straight toward the small gate beneath the Black Tower.
With a soft “thump,” Hua Hua's body was sent flying back out. It had failed to rush through the door and was instead repelled by it.
Although it was just a butterfly, it truly had a body as tough as steel and iron, not at all delicate.
It shook its head and walked over to the ground, lifting its two front legs to push open the large door.
The door was easily pushed open, but…it still couldn't get in. No helping it, its wings were too big and occupied too much space. Moreover, they were as tough as refined steel and couldn't be folded.
After half an hour of struggle, Hua Hua was only a tiny bit short, less than half a centimeter, from entering the Black Colt Tower.
In the end, it gave up and turned its head back, giving Feng Jun a resentful glance: Are you freaking playing with me?
“What a mess this has been,” said Feng Jun with a tinge of regret, smacking his lips, “Alright, I'll take you to Maoshan… I originally didn't want to.”
It was a rare occasion that he had managed to come to the Black Colt Tower. Having cultivated to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, he could be content; but since he had already… been so underhanded, why not go all the way?
Hua Hua had previously said that it was at the peak of the Qi Refining Initial Stage, just a little bit shy of advancing to the Mid-stage Qi Refining. Having signed a blood pact with Hua Hua, Feng Jun, of course, had to seek benefits for it.
Originally, he thought that just by bringing out the Little Black Tower inside Luohua Manor would suffice, but who would have imagined… he was just a little bit short.
So, he still had to pin his hopes on the Earth Vein at Maoshan. Erecting the Black Colt Tower there, with its almost two meters seventy-eight in height, would certainly be enough for Hua Hua's cultivation.
Just then, Zhang Caixin finished her cultivation session. She asked, “What is this Black Tower? What cultivation level does one need to be able to cultivate inside it?”
She had been stuck at the sixth layer of the Dust Transcendence Realm for quite a while now–almost three months–and couldn't advance to the seventh layer no matter what, which made her somewhat anxious.
However, if this sentiment were made known to other cultivators, they would probably each have the urge to give her a beating. Even on the Earth Plane, not advancing to a higher layer of Dust Transcendence in three months wouldn't be considered especially long, right?
Feng Jun glanced at her and shook his head slightly, “Those below the Qi Refinement Realm should not even think about it. It's just something I borrowed temporarily.”
Zhang Caixin blinked and asked again, “Can one cultivate in it during the Dust Escape Realm?”
Feng Jun gave her a helpless look, thinking, we have someone else here, you know.
However, after the trip to Xiqing Mountain with Tang Wenji and getting to know each other better, he no longer considered the Little Celestial Master an outsider; which was why he allowed her to follow them into the backyard.
He nodded slightly, “Those below the rank of a Golden Core Master can cultivate in it, but…I have to return it soon.”
Actually, if he could stabilize it a bit, remaining another half-year on the Earth Plane wasn't a dream. Utilizing the cooldown of the Devouring Primordial Heaven Technique to break through to the Dust Escape Realm with the help of the Black Colt Tower could still be a reality.
But he had some plans in the Mobile Phone Plane that he didn't want to waste half a year's time on.
He could use the Black Colt Tower to break through to the Dust Escape Realm, but certainly not to become a True Person by advancing to Golden Core.
So, it was better to plan some things earlier rather than later, for without foresight, there is immediate trouble.
Yet Tang Wenji couldn't help exclaiming, “Senior Feng, where did you borrow such an item from? Golden Cores disappeared a thousand years ago, didn't they?”
Feng Jun looked at her, “You're not exactly young anymore, can you stop asking such childish questions?
The question isn't childish; it's the mindset behind asking such questions that is indeed childish.
Sister Hong spoke up softly, “So you just got back, and you're leaving again?”
She hadn't known the taste of meat for a month and felt she was turning into a clogged-up lake, teeming with water that urgently needed to be drained to avert the risk of a dam burst.
Tang Wenji promptly took over the conversation, “He has to drop me off, right? With the weather like this, I can't possibly ride my motorbike all the way back.”
When she came out, she was riding a Harley motorcycle, but now her motorbike was in Feng Jun's Storage Bag. In this chilly month, she definitely hoped for a car ride back home, planning to retrieve her motorbike once she reached Maoshan.
Sister Hong glanced at her and smiled faintly, “You can stay till summer, we don't mind at all.”
In fact, what bothered not just Sister Hong but also Feng Jing was the feeling of not being cherished during an opportune time, thinking it had not been easy for her period to end but to no avail.
So that night, Feng Jun didn't sleep at all as the two women took turns, insisting that he catch up on the domestic duties he had missed over the past two months.
The next day, Feng Jun woke up with endless yawns, his mind quite fuzzy. Seeing this, Yang Yuxin eagerly volunteered, “I'll drive you guys. It's a good opportunity for me to go to Chaoyang as well.”
Feng Jun thought that it was a good suggestion, as going to Maoshan could include a stop at Chaoyang to check out the project there.
In the end, it was Gao Qiang who spoke up, “I'll drive the bus; President Feng can sleep on the journey.”
Gazi also wanted to follow them back, but Feng Jun stopped him, this time he was taking Hua Hua with him, so it was necessary to leave more people at the manor.
However, Gu Jiahui wanted to come along, and he couldn't stop her, now that her body didn't have any major issues.
Her key issue was that she couldn't adapt to the air in the capital, staying in Luohua Manor was certainly good for her health, but walking around wouldn't cause any harm either, and she could even enjoy the beautiful landscapes of her motherland.
So, on the bus there was him and Gao Qiang, Yang Yuxin and her daughter, along with the Little Celestial Master, totaling five people.
Besides these five, there was also a butterfly and a crow.
Feng Jun initially didn't want King Crow to get on the bus, but when it saw Hua Hua getting on the bus and leaving, it cawed loudly and chased after the bus for over twenty kilometers.
Feng Jun had witnessed firsthand yesterday how the butterfly had pressed it to the ground and rubbed it wantonly, seeing that scene, he wondered if that thing had developed Stockholm syndrome?
However, since it was so eager to follow, he just let it get on the bus.
The coach headed south, but at noon, Guan Shanyue from Danxia Sky arrived at Luohua Manor, and upon hearing that she had just missed Feng Jun, she couldn't help but stamp her foot in frustration, “Maoshan, right? I'll go there and wait for him…”
Feng Jun and his group reached Chaoyang on the very same day. It wasn't even the fifteenth yet, so the county folks were a bit sluggish, but the Feng family's construction project, which was under oversight by people from the capital, was already underway.
Feng Wenhui and Zhang Junyi had already been harassed for over half a year and suffered greatly. Hearing that their son had returned, they didn't inform anyone and quietly slipped away, bringing Dou Jiahui along with them.
Dou Jiahui had nothing much to do lately; for his lighting store, the first month was the off-season so profound that even taking government contracts, he wouldn't expect any orders until the end of the first month.
So everyone took the bus and inspected the mountain road construction project that the Feng family had already undertaken.
The road wasn't fully repaired yet, but the road base was almost completed. Driving deeper into the mountains, the scenery beside the road was picturesque.
Looking at the beautiful mountain vistas, almost as if possessed, Tang Wenji remarked, “Master Feng, there might be an Earth Vein around here as well.”
She had to admit, she did harbor some ulterior motives because she had been somewhat worried about whether the Earth Vein at Maoshan was suitable for Feng Jun to use.
Before going to Weiyu Mountain with Feng Jun, the Little Celestial Master had little understanding of Earth Veins and could even say she only knew the term without any specifics.
But throughout the journey, her understanding of Earth Veins had greatly deepened. The most direct impression she had was that the vast Earth Vein of Xiqing Mountain had actually grown the Little Black Tower to over ten meters tall, allowing Feng Jun to cultivate.
However, what left the deepest impression on her was Feng Jun's assessment of the “Little Transparent Heaven”: the Spirit Formation of Wangwu was still functioning because it reasonably borrowed from the Earth Vein, thereby consuming very little Spirit Stone.
But Feng Jun also mentioned that if Wangwu continued to do so, its Cave Heaven's Earth Vein would be damaged over the years.
Tang Wenji was very aware that Maoshan did possess an Earth Vein, but it wasn't strong, it could even be described as very weak–perhaps a long, long time ago, Maoshan's Earth Vein could have rivaled Wangwu, but it had gradually been depleted over time.
With this thought in mind, she felt somewhat conflicted about Feng Jun going to Maoshan.
Preventing Feng Jun from going? How could that be possible? She couldn't even bring herself to say no, as he was not only the benefactor who revived Maoshan but also held considerable cultivation resources in his hands.
She even felt embarrassed to ask outright: Would it cause significant damage to the Earth Vein?
If she revealed such worries, surely he would not go–after all, it wouldn't be too much trouble to make another trip to Xiqing Mountain.
The Little Celestial Master acted on her nature, but she really couldn't be that inconsiderate. She even needed to welcome him to Maoshan.
Yet, such worries were objectively present. Thanks to nine-year compulsory education, who wouldn't understand the law of conservation of energy?
If they didn't absorb energy from the Earth Vein, on what basis could they cultivate or advance in their stages?
Because she always had this on her mind, upon seeing the beauty of the deep mountain and old forest, she couldn't help but mention it.
“Eh?” Hearing this, Feng Jun became interested, “That's true, I'll think it over when we get back.”
He wanted to manage this place well, not only to provide his parents with a peaceful and beautiful place to cultivate, but he also wanted to consider this location as an alternate site. So, he was very enthusiastic about building up the area.
They had repaired the mountain road for about ten kilometers, bypassing the Riyue Lake Reservoir, and then entered the forested mountains contracted by the Feng family.
The people arranged by Yang Yuxin were very capable. Most of the trees on either side of the road foundation had been cut down, making the road passable.
Of course, after the construction was completed, trees would be replanted beside the road to serve as street trees.
Destruction and construction are like twins, always coexisting with each other.
Moving forward, they occasionally saw a few workers engrossed in their labor by the roadside, and even cleaners.
Feng Jun's parents were riding in Dou Jiahui's car, stopping from time to time to stick their heads out and chat with the workers, appearing to be quite familiar with the place.
At the end of the mountain road was a large flat area, which was the residential area, but meant for the workers to live in.
