Chapter 710: Chapter 710: The President's Analysis (seeking monthly tickets for the third release) Chapter 710: Chapter 710: The President's Analysis (seeking monthly tickets for the third release) Feng Jun could only smile at the two's regret, “I didn't want this either, but there was a sudden change in the sect…”
These two had no idea what had happened; they were brought back in a daze, just as they had been when they left.
In their hearts, they guessed that it might have been the others catching them by surprise and ejecting them from the secret realm, but that was merely conjecture.
After all, maintaining the mystery of a secret realm was almost something every power did. Senior Feng's sect valued this declining secret realm, so their actions were normal, and no one would complain.
The two were just a bit regretful that they hadn't learned more–the secret realm indeed possessed a wealth of unique knowledge.
They could even understand why Senior Feng's sect valued a declining secret realm so much.
It was the one at the Ninth Layer of Transcendence Mortality who spoke up, “Senior Feng, we really want to go back and study more.”
“I'm not in charge of that,” Feng Jun replied casually, “I need to ask my sect for permission. Of course, if our cooperation with Chairman Huang Fu goes well, I'll try to secure you a second chance to visit.”
Those words were pure nonsense, there for listening only; even if he took people from the Tiantong Commercial Alliance there again, it definitely wouldn't be these two.
So what he said was noncommittal, and whether they took it seriously was not his problem.
Then he took them back to the engine room.
Many people saw him bringing the two back, so it wasn't long after they entered the engine room that Huang Fu Flawless came to visit.
Feng Jun didn't let her into the engine room, so he had no choice but to step out and meet her.
Chairman Huang Fu got straight to the point, “I heard my people have returned. Did they learn anything?”
“You can ask them yourself,” Feng Jun answered with a smile, “Don't look at the ads, look at the effects!”
Huang Fu Flawless found this sentence a bit peculiar but could understand what it meant, so she smiled, “You sure have a quirky way of speaking.”
Then she took her two subordinates away, eager to know what exactly they had learned.
Unfortunately, what these two had learned couldn't be explained in just a moment or two.
Over the course of more than half a month, they had received intensive instruction, and many new concepts required numerous other new concepts for explanation.
And indeed, the two were so excited that they wanted to explain as quickly as possible how magical this declining secret realm really was.
After listening to the two talk for over four hours, Huang Fu Flawless finally had a rough understanding of what knowledge they had studied during this time.
To put it bluntly, it was because her mind was clear and her thinking quick that she understood; if it had been someone else, four hours might not have been enough.
When finally they slowed down their pace of speaking, she asked, “This declining secret realm… how big is it?”
The two exchanged a glance, and the one at the Ninth Layer of Transcendence Mortality mustered the courage to reply, “Miss Flawless, we were restricted to a certain area, only able to move within a dozen miles or so. Apart from having local sturdy natives watching over us, we were also under the surveillance of Qi-Refining Practitioners.”
He didn't have the nerve to directly say that they had been under the watch of Qi-Refining butterflies, but that wasn't very important–even Qi-Refining butterflies were still at the Qi-Refinement Realm.
The Intermediate Level martial master chimed in, “It seems Senior Feng's sect doesn't want to disturb the local natives. He emphasized that to us.”
Huang Fu Flawless understood their point, entering a secret realm without planning to dominate the local inhabitants was indeed a very reasonable choice. As long as the objective was achieved, why the need for sensationalism?
However, she felt quite helpless, “What I want to know is, in your estimation, how big is this secret realm?”
The two exchanged a glance, and again it was the one at the Ninth Layer of Transcendence Mortality who spoke, “It can't be too small… at the very least it spans a hundred thousand miles.”
Huang Fu Flawless's eyes flickered, “Could it possibly be a plane?”
If it was a plane, its value would be much greater than a secret realm, deserving of a Golden Core's competition.
However, she felt that this possibility was too slim.
“As for a plane, it doesn't seem likely,” the Intermediate Level martial master didn't think he was that fortunate, “At most, it's a small world.”
Huang Fu Flawless nodded, “Write a record of your observations then… estimate the cultivation level of the highest native.”
“How could the natives possibly have cultivation levels?” the one at the Ninth Layer of Transcendence Mortality gesticulated confidently, “Without Spiritual Energy, at best they are Martial Cultivators.”
The Intermediate Level martial master also hesitantly said, “About that record of observations, there's nothing to write really, as we were confined.”
Huang Fu Flawless was annoyed, “So you went there and gained nothing at all.”
The two kept silent: We've filled over a dozen notebooks with just study notes, do you really think we gained nothing?
But since Huang Fu Flawless held a high position in the Commerce Alliance and was backed by a Golden Core Clan, they didn't dare to voice their opinions.
After venting for a while, Chairman Huang Fu knew she was in the wrong. After a moment of silence, she waved her hand dismissively, “Go write then.”
The Ninth Layer Initiator hesitated, then mustered his courage to speak, “Young Master, Senior Feng said he would try to find another opportunity. Next time, we will make sure to look around more.”
Huang Fu Flawless laughed out of irritation, “He said next time, and you believe there really will be a next time? How naive!”
However, although that was what she said, after sending the two away, she sat there, contemplating deeply, “I didn't expect him to take people to the DharmEnding Secret Realm this time… Next time… hmm, I need to plan thoroughly.”
Feng Jun was oblivious to the fact that Chairman Huang Fu was already considering how to deal with the next time, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care–there simply was no next time.
He returned to his small courtyard, where Mi Yunshan greeted him with tea as soon as he arrived–Feng Jun had been occasionally cultivating in the Spirit Gathering Array over the past ten days and seldom returned to the courtyard.
After tea, it was time for dinner, followed by rest at night.
“The fragrance of this perfume is really nice, do you like it?”
This perfume was given to her by Feng Jing, and at first, she liked the exquisite bottle, but now… of course, she liked the perfume.
“I like it,” Mi Yunshan spoke softly, “Sister Changqing asked for it, and I only gave her ten percent… She might hold a grudge against me.”
“You gave her some, that's already good. Why would she hold a grudge?” Feng Jun dismissively said, “Next time, I'll bring a few bottles for you to switch around.”
“Bring a few more bottles…” Mi Yunshan hesitated, “Chairman Huang Fu also likes it a lot. I think, maybe she would be willing to buy it with Spirit Stones.”
Mi Yunshan, despite being a mere female attendant, had her own opinions. She was willing to share the precious perfume with the likes of Yu Changqing, whom she had long cooperated with and even sponged off for a few sessions at the Spirit Gathering Array–ten percent was a generous share already, wasn't it?
As for Huang Fu Flawless, despite her noble status, Mi Yunshan had her own master to serve and sought nothing from her, which gave her the idea of turning it into a business venture.
“Eh?” Feng Jun lit up with inspiration, smacking himself on the forehead, “Why didn't I think of that?”
In a society abundant in material wealth, whose money is the easiest to earn? Of course, it's women and children's.
If it were the Mortal Realm of the mobile phone world, where material abundance wasn't a topic yet, survival was a necessity. However, in the Cultivation World, where food and warmth were no longer issues, living a good and exciting life was essential.
Feng Jun felt that perfume could indeed be sold, not targeting The Secular World, but mainly the Cultivation World. “What did Chairman Huang Fu say?”
“She asked me if you were the one who made it,” Mi Yunshan answered quietly, “I've checked with Sister Changqing, too. Cultivators have rouge and makeup, but none as good as this… Although the initial scent is a bit pungent, the lingering fragrance is enduring.”
“No perfume in the Cultivation World compares to this?” Feng Jun pondered for a moment before laughing, “That's true, the biggest driving force behind creating perfumes is to eliminate body odors.”
In the Earth Realm, Huaxia Country has had perfumes since ancient times, but it was the West that truly brought perfumes into the limelight, not out of undue self-deprecation, but simply because the West had a powerful driving force.
Most Westerners have well-developed sweat glands, leading to strong body odors, hence the urgent need to improve perfumes.
In Huaxia Country, this issue is much less prevalent. While women of luxury could afford to bathe in a pond full of plum or rose petals, it wouldn't be a big deal without it; they wouldn't be unacceptable in public.
It should be the same in the Cultivation World. Cultivators found it too easy to get rid of unusual body odors, but making one's natural scent more enticing was not a focus for everyone.
Mi Yunshan did not consider the “driving force” issue. Her thought was, “From Chairman Huang Fu's reaction, the perfume seems to be quite marketable. I'm just not sure if she would be willing to purchase it with Spirit Stones.”
Feng Jun was aware that her words were truthful because he had met Huang Fu Flawless today, and she hadn't mentioned the perfume, which showed it was a negligible deal in the eyes of Chairman Huang Fu.
But since Feng Jun had taken an interest in this business, it was no longer a matter of whether she was willing or not. He smiled indifferently, “Certainly, she will have to purchase it with Spirit Stones. I'll let you see what branding and positioning are all about.”
For the next two days, he worked on deciphering the Earth Wall Formation, finally succeeded in perfectly analyzing it, and then went to Mount Zhige to retrieve the Spirit Gathering Array.
Feng Jun's activation of the Spirit Gathering Array had lasted nearly twenty days. He was sometimes present, sometimes absent, seemingly working for everyone's benefit. Thus, as he retrieved the Spirit Gathering Array, far from complaining, people even had to thank him.
After taking back the Array Plate, Feng Jun didn't pause; he went straight to the Tiantong Commerce Alliance to see Huang Fu Flawless.
Huang Fu Flawless was again entertaining guests, and Feng Jun couldn't be bothered to wait. He left behind the Analysis Formation Method for the Earth Wall Formation and spoke firmly, “The formation for the Earth Wall Formation is here now. Tell your chairman that our accounts are settled.”
