Chapter 664 - Chapter 664 Chapter 664 Realization After the Fact

Chapter 664: Chapter 664 Realization After the Fact Chapter 664: Chapter 664 Realization After the Fact The Butterfly worked diligently, and by afternoon, it had finished planting all forty-eight Spirit Plants.

Sister Hong had also managed to obtain a sequential number for someone.

Watching Feng Jun cast the Sweet Dew Talisman, the Butterfly rarely complimented, “This Technique is quite good. You should draw a few more Talismans, and I will help you use them. I am sure I can do it better than you.”

Feng Jun certainly believed this, as he had drawn quite a few Sweet Dew Talismans, which he had planned to take to the Earth Plane to sell, so he left ten Talismans with Hua Hua.

To be honest, with an additional Qi Refinement Realm cultivator in the manor, he felt much more at ease, and didn’t have that unsettled feeling when leaving.

This time when visiting the Earth Plane, he also brought along the network equipment for the mobile phone.

It was the middle of the night, and he continued to sleep soundly, only getting up after dawn, and after eating breakfast, he returned to pondering the Spirit Binding Array.

This was a relatively rare Formation, not only a trapping array but also capable of capturing an opponent. For a cultivator hunting Spirit Beasts or even more ferocious creatures, having such a Formation could directly capture the opponent alive without waiting for it to starve to near death inside a trapping formation.

However, when using the Spirit Binding Array Plate, there were substantial restrictions; it could only be activated when the opponent’s movements were impaired, otherwise, it could easily fail.

Therefore, the best approach was to treat the Array Plate as a trap, setting it up in advance, and activating it when the quarry entered the trap.

But if so, the convenience of the Spirit Binding Array Plate was not reflected, especially when encountering the more ferocious Spirit Beasts, the Array Plate might even be damaged, and an Array Plate was not cheap.

Of course, despite so many shortcomings, the Spirit Binding Array Plate was still a very useful tool, after all, a living Spirit Beast was worth much more than a dead one.

Nevertheless, when a possible Analysis Formation Method appeared, the shortcomings of the Spirit Binding Array Plate were tremendously magnified. After all, the Analysis Formation Method could also be used as a trap, and because it was cheap to produce, setting up several was no problem, and the cost was not high even if it got destroyed.

He was able to extrapolate the Spirit Binding Array quite thoroughly and, with another two days to improve it, would be ready to start experimenting.

However, this was not an urgent matter. Rushing the extrapolation would make it easy for others to drive a hard bargain.

He was about to put away the Array Plate when Huang Fu Flawless flew over on a red flower, “Eh, is Feng Daoist friend extrapolating so early in the morning?”

Feng Jun was unaware that the other party had actually schemed against him, and he replied with a smile, “Is it that early? As cultivators on the Cultivation Path, we should always advance with courage and diligence.”

Huang Fu Flawless scrutinized him up and down, then asked casually, “The Spirit Binding Array… Is this Formation relatively easy to extrapolate?”

Feng Jun nodded, “I always feel… I have more inspiration for this Formation, but it still requires some time to analyze.”

“Oh,” Chairman Huang Fu nodded, then spoke seriously, “About the secret manual I gave you, there was a mistake. It shouldn’t have been one hundred Spirit Stones, but five hundred.”

Feng Jun’s expression darkened and he spoke with considerable displeasure, “Chairman Huang Fu, this kind of thing isn’t fun. It’s a secret manual with a seal.”

“It is exactly the one with a seal,” Huang Fu Flawless also frowned, “Without a seal, it would be a thousand Spirit Stones.”

These words were indeed true, the Thirty-Six Essence Blood Control Techniques, its value could compare with the initially intended sale of her “Telepathy” beast-taming secret manual. The difference was that the former was about forceful control, while the latter was more inclined to gentle persuasion.

The gentle persuasion of Telepathy would allow a cultivator to have a stable job, while forceful control was about overwhelming power.

The reason Huang Fu Flawless sold it to Feng Jun for a hundred Spirit Stones was certainly not a mistake in price, but rather her attempt to pry into his secrets. In this day and age, if one is unwilling to spare the bait, how can they expect to catch a big fish?

But after someone eats the bait and nearly drags the fisherman into the water, running off and breaking the fishing rod, it’s quite irritating.

“It’s too late to say that now,” Feng Jun spread his hands out, speaking seriously, “I didn’t know it was worth so many Spirit Stones, and I have already cultivated the secret technique. Surely you wouldn’t go so far as to ask me to pay the difference?”

Huang Fu Flawless experienced a total loss, and though she didn’t value the four hundred Spirit Stones difference that much, it still pained her.

Of course, her main aim in saying this wasn’t to seek compensation. She shifted her gaze, “You’ve already cultivated it? When did you do that?”

Feng Jun sensed something was off.

Subconsciously touching his left wrist, he spoke gravely, “This morning.”

On this point, he had no need to lie. For an irrelevant detail, why deceive? If exposed, it would put him at a disadvantage.

“This morning?” Huang Fu Flawless smiled, “Not sleeping in the dead of night, Feng Daoist friend is indeed advancing with courage and diligence…”

Feng Jun interrupted her, “Have you had breakfast? Would you like them to make something for you?”

Chairman Huang Fu smiled slightly, “Mortal World food, I rarely eat it, but I can have some Spirit Valley fruits.”

Although she was a bit angry, she didn’t want to fall out with him.

“That’s a bit difficult for me,” Feng Jun spread his hands, “I, who is undergoing Worldly Trials, try not to touch those.”

“Then just have something casual,” Huang Fu Flawless remembered the admonition of the elders, to form a good relationship with this person, so she earnestly explained, “It’s not that I am delicate, but it’s because I am cultivating the ‘Immaculate Bright Heart’ and striving to stay away from the impure qi.”

Feng Jun nodded, “So it’s the ‘Immaculate Bright Heart’… Truly rare. But are you really the branch president even after joining the Mortal World?”

This heart technique directly aims for the Nascent Soul Great Dao and can also reduce the inner demons during the Nascent Soul advancement, making it a very useful supplementary heart technique.

Since she started cultivating it during the Qi Refinement Realm, by the time she was breaking into the Nascent Soul Realm, her foundation was as solid as could be, but it came at a relatively high resource consumption and many considerations to herself, indicating her great ambitions.

If it were up to Feng Jun, he would probably consider cultivating this heart technique after entering the Golden Core Realm–of course, there was also a big chance he wouldn’t cultivate it at all.

It’s not to say that it’s unfair, but it’s just everywhere you look. As an Immortal Second Generation, her starting point was just too high.

“Being a branch president can also be considered as worldly trials,” Huang Fu Flawless answered with a smile, “Only by not contending, one can have the world without contention… Without entering the Mortal World, without engaging in petty arguments, how can one cultivate the ‘Immaculate Bright Heart’?”

The two walked towards the front courtyard, chatting pleasantly, yet she did not notice the dramatic change in Feng Jun’s expression.

However, his ability to control his emotions was quite strong, and he did not show it.

After a few more steps, Huang Fu Flawless casually probed, “How does your sect cultivate the ‘Immaculate Bright Heart’?”

“The presence or absence of impurities lies within the heart; as long as it’s transparent, it’s sufficient,” Feng Jun replied expressionlessly, “But Chairman Huang Fu is seeking the straightforward in the complicated, I admire this mentality and persistence.”

His words carried quite a lot of information and implied multiple layers of meaning. Chairman Huang Fu thought it over for a long time before slightly nodding, “What you said is very true, truly worthy of someone from a renown lineage, Flawless has gained much, thank you.”

By this point, the two had already entered the main living room. Feng Jun called for Liu Feifei to serve some pastries and tea.

Soon, the pastries and tea were brought out. Huang Fu Flawless casually ate two pieces before she spoke again, “With your talent, you should realize that the Essence Blood Control Technique isn’t worth just a hundred Spirit Stones, right?”

Feng Jun’s face darkened, and after a moment of silence, he merely said, “The control technique is good, the method too is good.”

He had noticed a problem just a moment ago and, while she wasn’t paying attention, he silently pulled down his wrist guard to take a look.

As mentioned previously, he had made a wrist guard to cover the overly conspicuous imprint of the Stone Ring on his wrist.

After he had returned to the Earth Plane in the early morning, and since it was winter there and his stay was short, he hadn’t bathed and naturally had not removed the wrist guard.

Now, glancing at the wrist guard, he was startled to find that the originally bright red imprint had turned pale red, and he had lost at least two hundred energy points.

Where had the energy points gone? After a brief contemplation, he realized–so, that Essence Blood Control Technique really had an issue.

What the problem was, he was not entirely sure, but he was certain that the energy of the Stone Ring had warded off a malicious attack from the Mobile Phone Plane.

Just like how he had relied on the Stone Ring’s energy to exhaust Yu Meiren to death during the Detachment Phase.

He had wanted to reprimand her earlier, “What kind of nonsense did you give me in that secret manual?”

But Chairman Huang Fu’s keen observation skills made him somewhat wary… If he confronted her immediately, would she notice my wrist?

Therefore, he still adjusted his mood, patiently waiting until she brought up the Essence Blood Control Technique again.

A look of confusion crossed Huang Fu Flawless’s face, “The method is good… What do you mean by ‘the method is good’?”

Feng Jun gave her a grin, “You can try it again if you like, it doesn’t bother me.”

Huang Fu Flawless’s eyes shifted as she realized something had changed–earlier he had no reaction and flatly refused to make up the difference in price, and now his attitude was this–what had happened in the meanwhile?

From this, it was evident that Feng Jun’s wariness was indeed necessary.

After meticulously recalling the past moments, she figured out that she had been sidetracked by his words, pondering for quite some time, and hence concluded that she had been hoodwinked for a while, during which some mishap had occurred.

It must be said, Huang Fu Flawless was truly astute. She even deduced that Feng Jun was protected by his sect and he himself might not even be aware, and his attitude had changed only after receiving a message from his sect.

As for how the message was delivered, she wasn’t sure, but that was irrelevant. What really mattered was the major powers, for which family didn’t have its unique methods? Even the method of the ancestral will of the Huang Fu Family descending was rarely known to others.

What mattered was that there were experts protecting Feng Jun from behind, and this was what she needed to pay attention to–if not for her reminder, he wouldn’t even know what the person behind him had silently endured for him, so what kind of noble status must he possess?

Huang Fu Flawless, who was cultivating the ‘Immaculate Bright Heart,’ became aware of the problem and did not avoid it, but smiled slightly, “There was a small issue, so I reminded you about the four hundred Spirit Stone difference… I didn’t ask you to make up for it, did I?”

“You did it on purpose,” Feng Jun looked at her indifferently, “Do you think, the loss I suffered, can be compensated with four hundred Spirit Stones?”
