Big Data Cultivation Chapter 758

Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Snatching the Treasure Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Snatching the Treasure Feng Jun had been grieving over the changes to the Mountain and River Seal, but when he saw Shen Qingyi fleeing, he couldn't help but laugh angrily, “Playing this trick in front of me?”

Shen Qingyi was running fast, but could she outpace lightning?

Feng Jun raised his hand and cast the Falling Thunder Technique, knocking her to the ground with a thud. Because she was sprinting so swiftly, she spent most of her time airborne, and with that strike, she was sent crashing down to the earth, coupled with that tumble, the damage was indeed significant.

Fortunately, Shen Qingyi had also fortified herself with defensive Techniques, so she didn't suffer too much harm.

However, Feng Jun had no intention of showing mercy, and after casting one Falling Thunder Technique, he followed up with another.

In fact, the Falling Thunder Techniques he had unleashed today had already exceeded five, each cast with his full power.

For this reason, he even had to make a trip to the Mobile Phone Plane, loitering for over ten days, activating an Intermediate Level Gathering Spirit Array Plate, not only replenishing his Spiritual Energy but also taking the time to cultivate properly.

Of course, for the sake of narrative completeness, those ten days are not accounted for. Anyway, Feng Jun's two recent Falling Thunder Techniques were also carried out with full force, battering Shen Qingyi to the brink of death.

Then he called out, “Hua Hua, capture this woman.”

Upon hearing this, Butterfly released the Ruthless Rope, squeaking excitedly, seeming pleased about getting to use the Magic Artifact.

“Senior Feng, please wait,” Yu Baiyi called out, “If you just want to take the Sword Qi Gourd, I can help retrieve it.”

It was very clear that the treasures on Shen Qingyi surpassed the Sword Qi Gourd–for example, the Gengjin Bead was also quite a noteworthy Magic Artifact. Feng Jun had to use the Stone Mace to crack open that bead, yet it wasn't even damaged.

Yu Hualong was concerned that Feng Jun might sweep away all the valuable items on Elder Sister Shen, just as he had done with Kou Laozhong.

Feng Jun indeed had such ideas. He commanded Hua Hua to bring the person over, then ordered Tang Wenji to search her.

After all, the Little Celestial Master had a Storage Talisman on her, which naturally contained various garments.

Ever since she started practicing Yoga with him, Tang Wenji, using the excuse that Kou Laozhong had frequently used the Storage Talisman, asked him for another. Feng Jun, pitying her suffering, did not hesitate to give her one more–after all, what's the big deal with a woman asking her own man for something?

Feng Jun had already planned to let her change Shen Qingyi's clothes, thinking of seizing all the treasures.

However, with Yu Baiyi's intervention, he couldn't well refuse–after all, he had just said, “I only want the Sword Qi Gourd.”

Nevertheless, he needed to capture her himself to avoid any further problems, so he signaled again, “Hua Hua, bring the person to them.”

Hua Hua still indulged in using the Magic Artifact, binding Shen Qingyi up like a dumpling, and then had her taken back by Yu Hualong's people.

Yu Baiyi had a horsetail whisk on hand, and he struggled several times not to reach out and regain the treasures when he saw the Binding Immortal Rope on Shen's elder sister.

But, after much delibration, he didn't dare to make a move; this was someone who could even refine the Jiuzhou Seal.

He was extremely worried that if he acted, not only would his plans fall through, but he might give Feng Jun a reason to take away the horsetail whisk–and possibly even seize other treasures like the Gengjin Bead.

This desire was incredibly difficult for him to suppress, especially with the Binding Immortal Rope swaying before his eyes.

But Elder Sister Shen didn't appreciate it; when he took out the Sword Qi Gourd from her Storage Bag, planning to hand it over to Feng Jun, she woke up.

Seeing him holding the Sword Qi Gourd, Shen Qingyi's eyes narrowed as she asked coldly, “Junior Brother Yu, what are you doing?”

With these words, Yu Baiyi's scalp tingled. Despite being good at planning and decision-making, in charge of this whole affair, he was deathly afraid of this elder sister. There was no reasoning with a scholar when faced with a soldier; combat strength was the ultimate truth.

He could only muster the courage to reply, “Fair game, since you lost that Jade Talisman, just hand over the Sword Qi Gourd… We of the Kunlun Lineage can accept defeat in battle, but we can't lose face. We'll just have to regain our honor another time.”

Shen Qingyi felt numb from the lightning strike, blinking for quite a while before she grasped the situation she was facing.

Frowning, she spoke softly, “Junior Brother Yu, the nurturing of the Sword Qi Gourd has already consumed over a thousand Spirit Stones… With such a treasure, are you just going to give it away to the opponent?”

The thousand Spirit Stones weren't used by her–shaking out all of Kunlun's current resources wouldn't yield that many Spirit Stones. However, the Sword Qi Gourd was born from an ancient green gourd, a renowned Magic Artifact of the Kunlun Lineage, consecrated by over a dozen generations, consuming no small amount.

In particular, the gourd had suffered several heavy blows, each repair costing a fortune, always using Spirit Stones.

Yu Baiyi was somewhat at a loss for words but ultimately sighed, “If we don't give it to him, I'm afraid it will end up like the Jade Ruyi, directly destroyed by him, and you won't even have a chance to reclaim it… Elder Sister Shen, I actually feel more pain than you.”

“Feel pain over what?” Feng Jun scoffed with disdain, “Do you know how much the sword that cut your Jade Ruyi is worth in Spirit Stones?”

That sword was from the esteemed Bai Luan, worth six thousand Spirit Stones in the abundant world of the Mobile Phone Plane.

Shen Qingyi had no interest in his words, but Yu Baiyi took notice, “How much is it worth in Spirit Stones?”

Feng Jun originally intended to boast a little, but after thinking it over, he simply looked at him disdainfully, “Heh, enough to buy probably ten or eighteen Sword Qi Gourds, I guess.”

Shen Qingyi snorted coldly, “Ten or so Sword Qi Gourds, you make it sound so easy, as if it's just a common weapon.”

She had already been bound, and in her desperation, she didn't mind using any means to cause him some displeasure.

But what she said wasn't entirely without reason; even the most exceptional of weapons are essentially just that, weapons, not Magic Artifacts.

However, Yu Baiyi's eyes flickered, his thoughts meticulous, “Such Sword Qi Gourds, do you think you could purchase them?”

“Hehe,” Feng Jun laughed enigmatically and didn't directly answer, “Bring the items over!”

Yu Baiyi dared not delay any further and could only proactively take out the Sword Qi Gourds from Shen Qingyi's Storage Bag and hand them over.

Hua Hua and Tang Wenji's eyes lit up when they saw the gourd, but they still showed some restraint in front of strangers.

After Hua Hua retracted the Ruthless Rope, Shen Qingyi glared fiercely at Feng Jun, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Feng Jun didn't bother with her but turned to look at the Wangwu people, “Now, let's discuss our matter.”

“Please forgive us, Master Feng,” Tian Zhizhang clasped his hands, speaking very respectfully, “Our original intent was merely to control the situation, with no disrespect intended toward our fellow cultivator… Even if our Wang Wu Lineage holds itself in high regard, we couldn't possibly plan against both parties at the same time, could we?”

He was stating facts and reasoning to prove that Wang Wu acted out of public interest.

However, these two parties weren't so easily fooled. Kunlun had just suffered a defeat and was in a bad mood, so they observed how Luohua Manor would act.

Feng Jun didn't completely believe these words; he believed that Wang Wu had overlooked something, that being they hadn't calculated the true combat strength of Luohua Manor, “Perhaps you were hoping that my Luohua Manor and Kunlun would both suffer great losses, then wouldn't you be able to do as you please?”

Upon hearing this, the Kunlun Disciples' faces darkened, thinking that this possibility indeed existed.

Before they came, they were full of confidence, but after engaging the other side, they realized that even with the presence of the Great Elder, the most likely outcome would be mutual destruction.

An Elder, a High-Rank Martial Master, even squinted his eyes and said, “Xiao Youqingxu Sky has always been at the forefront of the top ten Cave Heavens.”

Tian Zhizhang, hearing this, really felt a sense of urgency, “The relationship between my Xiao Youqingxu Sky and Kunlun has always been quite good, hasn't it? This time we actively sought to mediate between both parties, how did we end up with this reputation?”

The Kunlun people remained silent, simply looking at Feng Jun–clearly, if Luohua Manor insisted on picking a quarrel, Kunlun would not remain indifferent, as most people, after suffering significant losses, tend to look for ways to compensate.

Without any hesitation, Feng Jun spoke, “I'd like to study your Spirit Gathering Array a bit, and while I'm at it, take a look at your Earth Vein too, If you're willing to let me take free action, I'll let go of this little grievance.”

Zheng Jingzhu heard and immediately refused, “Master Feng, Wang Wu does not have any Spirit Gathering Array–You are…”

“Shut up!” Tian Zhizhang glared at him fiercely, cursing internally: Are you blind? How daring to try to fool this person; stupidity is certainly a weakness.

He exhaled towards Feng Jun, “To tell the truth, the Spirit Gathering Array of Wang Wu is not open to outsiders, particularly the matter of the Earth Vein, which we simply cannot agree to. If Your Excellency insists, then you'll have to step over the bodies of our Wang Wu Disciples.”

Feng Jun smiled faintly, speaking softly, “No need for so much trouble; just knocking you all unconscious will suffice.”

As he spoke, he casually took a step forward.

“Master Feng!” Tian Zhizhang couldn't help but cry out, “Alright then, you can take a look at the Spirit Gathering Array, but regarding the Earth Vein… if you truly wish to tamper with it, the Wang Wu Disciples will have no choice but to collectively end their lives.”

This threat… well, to put it mildly, still had some effect.

Feng Jun wasn't afraid of killing, but the current society was governed by law, and if the Wangwu Taoists collectively committed suicide, it might not be easy to cover up the news, not to mention that these days, many Taoists were also active on Weibo and WeChat Moments.

Moreover, if he actually drove Wang Wu Lineage to extinction, he would accrue karmic consequences.

So, he glanced sideways at Tian Zhizhang and shook his head slightly, “Since we can't touch the Earth Vein, I'm also not interested in seeing the Spirit Gathering Array… With the Wang Wu Lineage having declined to its current state, the Spirit Gathering Array can't be that impressive.”

This statement was exceedingly impolite, and the faces of the four from Wang Wu flushed red with embarrassment, yet they dared not rebut–a tiny bit of peace had just been restored; it wasn't the time to rekindle strife.

Feng Jun wasn't intentionally insulting them; the fact was simply that. Besides, he had already seen the Spirit Gathering Array and found nothing mysterious about it.

So he settled for the next best thing, “This Earth Vein has aspects worth pondering; I plan to stay here for a couple of days.”

This location was more than ten kilometers away from Wangwu Dongtian in a straight line; any meddling here would have much less impact on the Earth Vein of the Dongtian.

He had settled for the next best thing, yet Daoist Bei He wore a pained expression on his face, “But Master Feng, this place is also under the great formation of our Wang Wu…”

“Enough,” Tian Zhizhang interjected decisively, “We will lend this place to Master Feng for his actions. I have made my decision; there is no need for further discussion.”

This formation had been in disrepair for over a thousand years and had already been compromised; there was no need to be overly attached to it.
