Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: A Journey to the Magic City

Feng Jun believes that social activists are responsible for creating public opinion, visible and floating on the surface.

But merchants are much more secretive, with many underwater transactions hidden within various business activities.

To put it another way, without the financial support of merchants, those people would find it difficult to disguise their funding sources for purchasing magic artifacts.

Therefore, he chose Ni Hong as the breakthrough point — after all, there are more people there than in the capital.

This time, he doesn’t plan to go alone, but he needs to think about who exactly to bring.

In just over twenty days, the small world of Danxia will reopen. Luohua also needs to send people for trials, and he must consider this.

After much thought, he decided to bring four people: Zhang Caixin, Feng Jing, Gazi, and Gao Qiang.

Zhang Caixin, originally from Ni Hong and now at the ninth level of transcendence, lacks accumulative experience. Being active in the Mortal World can broaden her horizons and temper her character.

Feng Jing has also reached a bottleneck, just one step away from the sixth level of transcendence. Sister Hong is still stuck at the fifth level, so she needs to focus on cultivating in Luohua.

Gazi is a middle-stage martial master, also just a step away from becoming a high-rank martial master.

As for Gao Qiang, he has ample social experience — actually, Feng Jun just doesn’t want him to stay in Luohua, befriending the Yu family is enough with Xu Leigang around, old Gao you better come with us.

However, Gao Qiang is quite happy about this. After enduring two years in Luohua and spending all his family fortune, he finally stepped into the Martial Master Realm. If not for being tied down by matters in Luohua, he would have gone to indulge in social activities long ago.

There aren’t many issues in Luohua, but truly, he cannot leave; even now, he is semi-retired, and he mostly concerns himself with the safety of Luohua.

Contrary to Feng Jun’s expectations, Xu Leigang also wants to go to Ni Hong. Fatty Xu’s attitude toward cultivation resembled a salted fish lately, seeming not motivated before, but now he has become active again.

However, Fatty Xu expressed that he wanted to go, not only to improve himself but also to avoid the Yu family members — his connections with them have grown too close recently, which would have been good in the past but now he finds it unbearable.

You have this awareness, so of course, you should stay! Feng Jun responded with a smile: If you want to improve, go to Danxia for trials.

Actually, Danxia is quite dangerous and not suitable for Fatty Xu, a family-oriented person; even little celestial master Xiao Tian was injured there.

Speaking of little celestial master, she recently came to Luohua to use the Spirit Gathering Array for cultivation — she plans to revisit Danxia and strives to advance to high-rank martial master.

She and Gazi both are aiming for high-rank martial master. It’s uncertain who will make it first, but her deep accumulation and having cultivated with Feng Jun again gives her better conditions than the newcomer Gazi.

Even this time borrowing the Spirit Gathering Array, she did not pay any spirit stones, acting very entitled– why worry about spirit stones, she thinks?

As for the security of the estate, there couldn’t possibly be a problem; apart from little celestial master, an intermediate-level martial master, there are also two Qi Refinement experts, plus security personnel from Elder Yu, making it unbelievable for anyone to cause havoc in Luohua.

That evening, Feng Jun gathered the four individuals, activated the Time Shuttle, and dashed straight to Chaoyang.

Since he had gone to Kunlun for some matters, he hadn’t returned to Chaoyang for New Year. Even though he had explained it to his parents, he still needed to visit this time.

Additionally, both his parents are now middle-stage martial artists; although his father only advanced recently, he now meets the requirements, and Feng Jun feels it’s entirely appropriate to hand over the Dragon Phoenix Fusion Scripture to his father.

As for his mother? He didn’t have the courage, sure to be scolded — better to ask his father to handle it.

Feng Jun’s trip to Chaoyang was a sudden action, without notifying his parents, simply wanting to understand the situation there.

The construction site in Chaoyang has advanced another two kilometers into the mountain, with the road fully constructed and even pipelines laid. They are now building houses and constructing various branch roads.

Feng Jun arrived at ten o’clock at night; Feng Wenhui and his spouse were in the mountain but not at the construction site. They were by a small lake, having sealed off the direction to the lake and building a large villa, nearing completion, currently working on interior decorations.

According to last year’s contract, to have reached this state this year, completion would be in another two or three months; this pace is not too slow, but actually, it’s not particularly fast either, because… they pay promptly.

According to Feng Wenhui, it could be faster, but the county is developing a tourist area, often encroaching on the roads specifically constructed by the Feng family, also requiring them to build some auxiliary facilities.

However, Feng Wenhui didn’t see this as anything significant, and Zhang Junyi also found it immaterial. It’s all locals and while they did occupy public land for road construction, adding a bit more… what does it matter? Just consider it a contribution to the locality.

From this perspective, although Feng Jun’s parents haven’t made much money, they are truly not stingy, knowing their son has made a lot and contracted such a large piece of mountain land, they don’t want the locals pointing fingers.

Feng Jun talked with his parents for an hour, and seeing it was nearly eleven o’clock with parents yawning incessantly, and not sensing any other issues, he secretly pulled his father aside, quietly handed him the Dragon Phoenix Fusion Scripture, then boarded the Time Shuttle and left.

Running away is the only option, otherwise if I’m slow, mom might actually hit me.

By the time we reached Modu (Magic City), it was almost 1 a.m. Zhang Caixin actually has some ways around in Modu, she contacted a classmate and rented a villa near the Bund.

There’s no need to talk about that night’s rest. Early the next day, as soon as Feng Jun got up, he set up a Spirit Restoration Array and began replenishing Spiritual Energy on his own–indeed, the flight with the Time Shuttle didn’t consume much Spiritual Energy, but he felt it’s still better to be safe than sorry.

Interestingly, due to the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, Zhang Caixin also woke up quickly, saw him cultivating on the balcony, and feeling the density of Spiritual Energy, she didn’t hesitate to join him and leech some energy.

Actually, a Spirit Restoration Array is supposed to help Cultivators draw Spiritual Energy from Spirit Stones, but as Feng Jun is an early-stage Ascendant, the amount of Energy he draws is enormous, occasionally leaking a bit is enough for a cultivator at the refinement stage.

Such is the world of Xianxia, where gaps in realm result in astonishing differences in cultivation levels.

After cultivating for a while, Gazi woke up and saw Feng Jun and Zhang Caixin cultivating next to each other through the window. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Eh, what’s going on here?”

Gao Qiang was also woken up by this exclamation, and at a glance, he too was startled: What is Master doing…

But quickly, he noticed something unusual, “It seems like they are cultivating, looks like some kind of formation?”

Gazi hesitated, “Should we go and join them in cultivation?”

Gao Qiang immediately refused without hesitation, “You can go if you want, I need to stay and guard everyone.”

Gazi snorted, “Old Gao, you just want to put me in a bind, my nickname is Gazi, not fool!”

Gao Qiang laughed, “Then let’s see if Teacher Mei will go to cultivate after she wakes up.”

However, their plan to sit back and watch fell through, as Teacher Mei woke up relatively late, and since the Spirit Restoration Array recovers Spiritual Energy quite fast, Feng Jun only cultivated for half an hour before getting up.

Zhang Caixin’s classmate really is a good friend. At ten in the morning, she and her boyfriend came over.

Her friend is Ling Ya Juan, a high school classmate, pretty sweet-looking, her boyfriend owns a small trading company and has quite a bit of property–this villa is his company’s property.

They came over and brought a commercial vehicle for their use while touring Modu.

Ling Ya Juan’s boyfriend, upon seeing Zhang Caixin and the beautiful scenery, was slightly stunned, but that’s a normal reaction. Men who do not get stunned by them are probably not normal.

Fortunately, Feng Jun’s presence is strong enough, charmingly handsome, and with two men who look like bodyguards behind him, one glance is enough to tell that he’s not someone to be trifled with.

Ling Ya Juan also wanted to invite them for lunch, but Zhang Caixin tactfully declined, “It’s okay, Lian, I grew up in Modu too, there’s no need to be so formal, with both the house and car, you’ve already troubled yourselves a lot.”

After getting into the car, Feng Jun and the others began wandering around Modu, unknowingly reaching six in the afternoon, they found a place to casually eat, and continued driving around.

Around eleven at night, everyone finally returned to the villa near the Bund, and by then it was nearly midnight.

At midnight, Feng Jun released the Time Shuttle, directly heading for their targeted destination.

The first person was not far from them, also living at the Bund, in a rented house.

This person is named Jieke Mozi, yes, a woman–In Ni Hong, few women go out to work, and those assigned work overseas are quite capable.

Jieke Mozi works for a Ni Hong culture company, she’s the CFO and actually one of the founders of the company.

She deals with cultural exchange, promoting Huaxia culture abroad and introducing Ni Hong culture into Huaxia.

In theory, helping Huaxia culture go international should be seen as being on the same side, but unfortunately, while promoting Huaxia culture overseas, she inserts a lot of her own agenda into the exported projects.

For instance, she bought the copyright of some products, and when exporting, changes are certainly made as she claims that for culture to go international, it must align with global standards, otherwise, the company would incur losses.

The party that grants copyrights generally doesn’t pay much attention to the rights to adapt–after all, people buy these rights to make changes, how can they not allow changes?

The adaptations made by Jieke Mozi’s company don’t drastically alter the original works, just subtly add a few kind Ni Hong characters, emphasize the inner conflict of Ni Hong villains when they do evil.

Meanwhile, they portray Huaxia characters a bit more conservatively, more sensitive…

Essentially playing a fine game, making the copyright provider feel that their adaptations… don’t shake the core and are genuinely aimed at boosting sales…
