Big Data Cultivation
Chapter 661 - Chapter 661 Chapter 661 Flower Lord and Yimu

Chapter 661: Chapter 661 Flower Lord and Yimu Chapter 661: Chapter 661 Flower Lord and Yimu Feng Jun arrived at the Bamboo Forest to find it utterly silent.

The bitter cold days aren’t necessarily cold, for Zhengyang had several days of blazing sun recently, and the air temperature wasn’t low. Today, however, it was overcast and a bit chilly.

But the climate within the Bamboo Forest was a world apart from the outside.

When Feng Jun stepped on the concrete floor, everyone was either cultivating or reading. These days, people even had their lunch here and wouldn’t leave unless there was something important to attend to.

Even Feng Jing would come over right after arriving at her workplace in the morning, even when there were still meetings to attend in the afternoon.

Only Feng Jun seldom appeared in the Bamboo Forest.

Sister Hong was still lying not far from the Spirit Stone, cultivating while searching for prey.

Feng Jun watched her with interest, simulating in his mind how to ensure success in one go.

Because of this contemplation, he subconsciously practiced the flow of the Essence Blood Control Technique, his hands mimicking the movements in the air.

He had thoroughly mastered this Dharma but had yet to put it into specific practice–it was, after all, his first time.

There were many benefits to the Soul Imprint Transmission, but it couldn’t immediately make him an expert; the necessary adaptation process was inevitable.

Sister Hong had a strong intuition; sensing something, she looked up and glanced in Feng Jun’s direction.

Seeing this, Feng Jun simply stepped out of the concrete area and stood at the edge of the valley, continuing his gestures.

The aura around him circulated in a mysterious manner.

As he left, Butterfly calmed down again, and not long after, Gao Qiang approached hesitantly and asked, “Master, am I in my second year now?”

Feng Jun had required him to work for free for three years before considering taking him as an apprentice. By annual count, it was indeed the second year, but by the date, it hadn’t even reached half a year.

Feng Jun glanced at him and asked with a smile, “Are you in a hurry?”

“A bit,” Gao Qiang nodded and hesitated before speaking, “Actually, even Assistant Li is very eager to cultivate. Maoshan and Wudang have both approached in succession. Anyone without some ideas in their mind… would be a fool, right?”

Indeed, Gao Qiang and Li Shishi knew long ago that Feng Jun was teaching others to cultivate. But how to put it? Different opinions vary. Li Shishi was somewhat unclear about the situation, while Gao Qiang was bound by a three-year pact.

Yet, with two great Daoist Sects visiting one after the other and politely requesting Feng Jun’s services, both could no longer stay indifferent. Without comparison, there is no harm done, but the urgency they felt suddenly increased.

Feng Jun understood this sentiment and, after a moment’s thought, he spoke, “Wait for Lei Gang to advance in his stage. Once all three of you advance to martial master, I’ll teach you to cultivate. However, you can’t cultivate full-time; you still need to take care of matters in the manor.”

“Thank you, Master,” Gao Qiang bowed excitedly. Being able to cultivate was enough reason for him to rejoice, even if it meant only finding spare time to do so. But then, hesitating again, he asked, “And what about… Di Aixin?”

Feng Jun glanced at him helplessly, “What do you want me to say? Having a caring heart is good, Gao Qiang. You’re also a man of rare sentiment, but today you also mentioned Li Shishi… both are from the same village.”

Gao Qiang fell silent upon hearing this. As a retired soldier living in Jin City and combating fraudulent traditional medicine, his intelligence was above par.

He realized that Li Shishi and Di Aixin were from the same village, which made it somewhat inappropriate for both of them to cultivate at the same time.

There were too many common relatives and friends between the two of them, many of whom worked in Luohua Manor.

If only one of them cultivated, the secret might still be kept, but if both did, it would be difficult to maintain.

Once a third person from their village confirms the effects of cultivation, then it would no longer be a secret to the entire village.

Gao Qiang was also very aware of rural sensibilities, so he couldn’t help but sigh, “I was just… trying to help, and it backfired.”

Feng Jun responded indifferently, “Nature takes its course. It’s good enough that you can take responsibility for yourself.”

At a loss for words, Gao Qiang silently left.

Feng Jun, however, continued to familiarize himself with the “Thirty-Six Essence Blood Control Techniques,” aiming for success on his first attempt.

After several trials, he thought about it and went back to the courtyard, then notified Men Gang at the gate, “Old Bai, go buy me a dog, one that’s especially fierce… and also get a goose.”

He decided it would be best to experiment on animals first. A Butterfly at the Qi Refinement Realm was quite rare, and he didn’t want to mess it up.

Dogs were very intelligent, and geese, much less so. Conducting more animal experiments would bring no harm.

It was a bit beyond Men Gang’s job scope to take such a task, but by dusk, Dwarf Hill Post had completed the mission.

Feng Jun completed the animal experiments that evening; there were some initial complications, but eventually, it went smoothly.

The dog and the goose were very aggressive initially, but after being controlled, they became as obedient as could be.

Feng Jun finally released the control technique, and in the Qi Refinement Realm, he could only control nine animals. He didn’t want to waste it on such mundane creatures at all.

Interestingly, after lifting the Essence Blood Control Technique, Feng Jun felt a bit exhausted, while the spirit of the dog and goose appeared quite depleted, as if they had sustained some damage.

With a resolute heart, Feng Jun decided to kill them both and then stored them in his Storage Bag, since they were meat, after all.

The next morning, when he returned to the Bamboo Forest, he found Gu Jiahui sitting on the edge of the cemented area–she was going back to take her final exams, and these couple of days, she needed to gradually wean herself off the reliance on the Spirit Gathering Array.

To Feng Jun’s surprise, the butterfly creature was positioned further away from the Spirit Stones today, yet much closer to Gu Jiahui–barely more than two meters in a straight line. If it were to act unpredictably, no one would be able to intervene in time to remedy the situation.

Gazi was truly negligent! Feng Jun thought for a moment before calling out, “Xiao Hui, come out for a second.”

Gu Jiahui walked out, greeting him with a smile, “Brother Jun, I’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow. Can you accompany me to the capital city?”

Seeing her happy smile, Feng Jun’s mood lightened up a lot, and he responded with a smile, “Brother Jun is busy, but here, a small gift for you… carry it with you… and stay safe.”

Gu Jiahui took the yellow Talisman Pouch, peeked inside, and was tempted to reach in.

But in the end, she restrained herself. Although she was an only child, the education she received since childhood was strict, and inspecting a gift in front of someone was a bit impolite.

So she simply tilted her head and asked Feng Jun, “It seems… my mother has one too.”

“That’s right. If it weren’t for her face, I wouldn’t give you one,” Feng Jun answered with a smile. Having been in Director Yang’s harbor, it was natural for him to care for her loved ones. “This is an Essence Blood Protection Talisman; it’ll keep you safe. Be careful of that butterfly.”

Gu Jiahui blinked, curiously saying, “I feel… that butterfly is quite friendly to me.”

Of course, it’s friendly to you; you have a Yimu Physique, Feng Jun knew very well.

He had just arrived, intending to control the butterfly creature, but seeing it so close to Gu Jiahui, he couldn’t help but observe further: to witness the level of affinity the butterfly had with a Yimu Physique.

Yet he was worried about Gu Jiahui getting hurt, so he gave her a Protective Talisman. Otherwise, should something untoward occur, it would be difficult to explain to Yang Yuxin.

Actually, he had been considering forming a contract between the butterfly and Gu Jiahui. According to Huang Fu Flawless, it would be mutually beneficial for both.

But then again, he hadn’t yet decided whether to take her as a disciple. At first, he was indeed amazed by her physique, but now, he thought that physiques were just that. With over a billion people in Huaxia, what kinds of physique didn’t exist?

In his heart, he preferred to let things take their natural course, valuing the affinity with the Dao.

However, after his trip to Jin City, he had… an indescribable connection with her mother.

Now, he hadn’t made up his mind whether to accept Xiao Hui as his disciple, especially since she also had the potential to be a troublemaker.

In any case, giving her a Protective Talisman was the right move. He answered with a smile, “That butterfly is very fierce; haven’t you seen? It doesn’t only prey on small animals; even Xiao Wu is afraid of it.”

Gu Jiahui’s eyes blinked, “I don’t think it will hurt me, but if you think otherwise, I’ll listen to you.”

“That’s right, just listen,” Feng Jun said with a smile, even wanting to playfully tousle her hair, but realizing she was already sixteen or seventeen, he repressed the urge, “Keep it safe… This talisman isn’t just for protecting against butterflies.”

“I know,” Gu Jiahui responded softly. After a pause, she spoke up again, “Can I have that butterfly… for myself?”

Feng Jun stroked his chin, “That… it’s really too dangerous. We’ll talk about it later.”

“I know you’re planning to give it to Sister Hong,” Gu Jiahui looked up bravely, her eyes filled with resolve, “You’re just giving me the run-around.”

Feng Jun felt cornered; she wasn’t completely wrong. He had thought that if he gave the butterfly to Xiao Hui, aside from whether she would successfully form the contract, Sister Hong likely wouldn’t be happy about it.

The butterfly creature was, after all, very much favored by Sister Hong.

Seeing him silent, Gu Jiahui stepped forward, narrowing the distance between their faces to less than a foot.

The scent of youth rushed forth, filled with the vitality of a young girl. She spoke in a low voice, “I’m stronger than Sister Hong. Whatever she can offer you, I can too… She’s an old woman now, and I’m still young.”

Feng Jun was a man of principles, but not a hypocrite. He had to admit, at that moment, he felt a slight stirring in his heart.

He glanced sideways at her, speaking with a smile, “Sister Hong has shared a bed with me.”

“I can too,” Gu Jiahui replied bluntly, as though she had been waiting for this question.

Yet at the same time, a blush rushed to her cheeks at a visible rate, showing the courage it took for her to say these words.

But she still bravely faced the challenge, making it clear, “I’ll be better than her… She’s already old.”

Her voice was low, but her determination was unwavering.
