Chapter 680 - Chapter 680 Chapter 680 Discovering the Earth Vein

Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Discovering the Earth Vein Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Discovering the Earth Vein In planning, this flat area designated as the living quarters will eventually become part of the construction site.

And Feng Jun’s parents are going to build a large courtyard not too far away; naturally, there will be villas, much like Luohua Manor.

But the courtyard is not yet in sight; a small path that cuts through has been constructed, and a number of trees have been cut down over there.

Feng Jun and his group got out of the car right in the construction site. Among the temporary houses here, a row belonged to the developer.

Actually, this developer was the team introduced by Yang Yuxin. The rest were contractors, even Feng Jun’s classmate Yue Pengfei who recommended the major engineering contractor for the bank transportation project was a contractor.

In the developers’ houses, one of the rooms belonged to Feng Wenhui and Zhang Junyi. Although they seldom came, it was essential to have such a room–they were the genuine developers.

When everyone got out of the car, the developers had already received the news and four people stood at the door to greet them.

Today, not only did the developers come, but even Director Yang from the capital made a personal visit; how could they dare to neglect them?

However, the most conspicuous weren’t Yang Yuxin or Mr. and Mrs. Feng Wenhui, but a white butterfly and a pitch-black crow.

After getting out of the car, these two did not fly around; instead, they obediently perched on Feng Jun’s shoulders.

There was a hint of helplessness on Feng Jun’s face. On other people’s shoulders, if not a hawk or a falcon, at least a parrot would land.

Him? A butterfly on the left, a crow on the right.

Fortunately, it was this morning that Gu Jiahui gave them both a bath; otherwise, he would not have agreed to let them sit on his shoulders.

Feng Jun was inspecting the construction project for the first time since it began, walking east and looking west; almost a whole day passed by.

Then he decided to spend the night here.

With an office for the developers and a luxury coach available, accommodations were certainly not an issue. Chaoyang here was much warmer than Xiqing Mountain, especially these days with good weather, the highest temperature during the day reaching around fifteen or sixteen degrees.

Even in the mountains, it wasn’t particularly cold.

At dinner time, everyone lit a bunch of bonfires; it was apparent that both Yang Yuxin and Gu Jiahui enjoyed the atmosphere of this wild outdoor meal.

Dou Jiahui, however, dragged Feng Jun to drink. To be honest, there were fewer and fewer people who could talk and drink with Master Feng like this.

Dou Jiahui was no fool; he had heard some rumors about Feng Jun from certain people, even Feng Wenhui had hinted to him that once he had earned enough money, it was time to have a life plan.

But he felt that he was living quite well and happily, even planning to get things done this National Day, marrying Lin Xiaojia.

Feng Jun didn’t try to persuade him; in fact, he quite admired Dou Jiahui’s single-mindedness; being able to live freely his whole life was indeed great freedom.

The two of them drank till eleven o’clock, when Dou Jiahui crawled into a mobile home to sleep. The conditions in the home weren’t very good, but in his words: he had been switching between boss and laborer in his lighting and installation work.

Enjoying prosperity and enduring hardship, that was the attitude towards life of Mr. Dou.

After settling him down for the night, Feng Jun saw that the night was quiet and there was no one around, so he took out his mobile phone and with a leap, disappeared into the vast night sky.

It took him less than two hours to excitedly discover that there was indeed an Earth Vein in the mountain land he contracted.

The first Earth Vein he located was not in a very precise position, but after correcting his course, he finally found the convergence center of the Earth Vein.

Little Black Tower here could actually grow to nearly three meters high, slightly stronger than the Earth Vein at Maoshan.

Feng Jun’s joy was unspeakable; he even expanded his search range, flying out of his own territory in search of Earth Veins–this big mountain, maybe this wasn’t the spot where the Earth Vein was most concentrated, right?

But he searched until dawn and never once found an Earth Vein stronger than the one on his own land.

While it was still not fully light, he quietly flew back.

Actually, more than one person was aware of his disappearance. He had just approached the coach when the door of a mobile home opened and Zhang Junyi, wearing a down jacket, was standing at the door, waving at him and whispering, “Come in and warm up first.”

To wait for his return, his parents had the air conditioning running all night long, fearing he’d catch a cold outside.

Feng Jun was quite familiar with his parents’ Cultivation Levels; both were Intermediate-Level Martial Artists, which was quite an achievement.

He planned to wait a little longer, until both of them had advanced to High-Rank Martial Warriors, before handing over the Cultivation Techniques to them.

Feng Wenhui was a light sleeper. Hearing the noise, he also woke up and asked with concern, “What are you doing up so late at night, not sleeping and going out?”

Feng Jun answered with a smile, “Someone reminded me, so I went out to look for it, to see if there’s an Earth Vein in the mountain we contracted.”

Feng Wenhui was still waking up, somewhat groggy, “Earth Vein… is that a dragon vein?”

“What are you talking about,” Zhang Junyi complained dissatisfactorily, “the Earth Vein can determine the direction of the Spiritual Energy… Xiao Jun, I’m right, aren’t I?”

Feng Jun had always considered his mother to be a remarkable woman, it’s just a pity that she was born in an era with scarce information. Even so, her intelligence and meticulous thinking far surpassed others.

He smiled and nodded, “You’re right, we’re in luck. In this vast stretch of mountains, only our spot has an Earth Vein.”

Zhang Junyi also nodded with a smile, “That’s right. My son’s luck will certainly not be bad.”

Feng Jun pondered for a moment before speaking, “That spot with the Earth Vein must be utilized, the development planning needs to be moderately modified.”

“Then modify it,” Zhang Junyi really was easy-going. She wasn’t indecisive, but she trusted her son’s expertise in this area more, so she supported him unconditionally, “You just point out the spot.”

Feng Jun also knew that this was his mother’s trust in him, but he had to give her an idea of what to expect, “That Earth Vein is very good, even stronger than Maoshan’s.”

“Stronger than Maoshan’s?” Zhang Junyi was startled for a moment, then frowned, “Maoshan is very famous. Perhaps their Earth Vein has a better foundation, and it’s very possible that we’ve just stumbled upon an advantage that nobody else has discovered yet.”

Feng Jun couldn’t help but nod his head. He was very impressed with his mother. To tell the truth, he still valued her opinions highly up to this day; just because their Earth Vein was strong didn’t mean the foundation was solid. Overutilization could lead to a faster decline than Maoshan’s.

He knew that the activation of Black Colt Tower had a minimal impact on the Earth Vein, it was just a resonance. But to say it had no impact at all, even he didn’t believe that.

However, reasonable utilization… What can be said? The mountain was not his; he only had fifty years of usage rights.

Of course, he wouldn’t overdevelop it, whatever the case may be, as this was a rare resource on the Earth Plane, and he couldn’t cut off the roads for his descendants, leaving them with nowhere to go.

So he decided to moderately develop for the first thirty years and then play it by ear for the last twenty years.

My heart would wish to accompany the bright moon, but that presupposes, O moon, you must not insist on shining over the ditches!

Having agreed upon a rough plan, it was time to get up and freshen up.

After breakfast, Feng Jun and Gao Qiang each with a large machete in hand, headed towards the deep mountains where no paths existed.

Behind them followed Tang Wenji and Dou Jiahui, and further back were Yang Yuxin and Gu Jiahui.

The four employees from the client’s side wanted to stop them, but they didn’t dare to say so outright, only implying subtly, “Director Yang, those places, no one has ever walked through. How about we find some locals to guide us first?”

Director Yang, dressed in sportswear and wearing climbing shoes, looked vigorous and full of life.

Facing their obstruction, she responded forthrightly, without any courtesy, “President Feng is a local… no need for you to say more.”

The four of them immediately shut up, daring not to speak further.

It was here that they could still speak to Director Yang; in another situation, even the boss of the boss of the boss of their boss wouldn’t be qualified to talk in front of Director Yang.

Yang Yuxin was determined to follow because, in Luohua Manor, there were too many strict rules. Although there wasn’t a rigid class hierarchy, even based on seniority alone, she was excluded from many affairs — even that yellow-haired girl Li Shishi could block her way.

This time Feng Jun was clearly going to make some big moves, so of course, she wanted to follow.

The mountains surrounding Chaoyang actually weren’t particularly difficult to navigate, especially now in the first month of the lunar year when many snakes, ants, and insects were hibernating. Feng Jun and Gao Qiang, leading the way with machetes, made it easy for the others who just needed to be mindful of their footing.

The footing wasn’t much of an issue either. The mountain terrain was relatively wet and slippery, but there hadn’t been much rain recently. The snow had come down during the twelfth lunar month but had already melted, and the moisture had seeped down below, so there were scarcely any overly slippery spots.

Feng Jun and Gao Qiang had to work a bit harder, since in addition to slashing through vines and bushes, they also had to plan their route forward.

The mountain wasn’t difficult to traverse, but there were plenty of steep areas. Finding a relatively gentle route required some brainpower.

Therefore, the two of them often stopped after walking a bit to look around, which was a good chance to relax their arms from swinging the machetes.

Dou Jiahui and Tang Wenji didn’t want to be outdone and often tried to take over the task of clearing the way, but after wielding the machetes for a while, they had to admit that they were indeed not up to par with Feng Jun and Gao Qiang.

Yang Yuxin and Gu Jiahui had it easiest since all they had to do was follow along, but it must be pointed out that compared to the four ahead, the mother and daughter had a significant gap in physical fitness.

In the depths of the ancient forest, one couldn’t say it was completely safe. As the mother and daughter progressed, they would occasionally encounter startled birds and inexplicable insects. The most serious encounter was with a snake.

Due to the cold weather, the snake’s movements were slow, but it was still a snake, and it was indeed frightening.

Thankfully, Hua Hua and Xiao Wu were patrolling back and forth above them. Upon seeing the snake, King Crow swooped down rapidly and snatched the snake with remarkable speed.

Actually, Hua Hua was even more ferocious. The ping-pong-sized spider snatched it up in a dive and flew away with it.

Regardless, the group trekked for over three hours and finally reached a small stream around noon, six miles away.

“We’ve finally arrived,” Feng Jun straightened his back, raising his hand to point to the little grove ahead, “Come, cut down those trees and clear a space.”
