Chapter 705 - Chapter 705 705

Chapter 705: 705 Chapter 705: 705 Feng Jun’s logic was verbose to explain in words, but everyone present understood right away: He was trying to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

Guan Shanyue had been wrestling with this issue, and upon hearing his words, she steeled her resolve and said, “How about this, we ask Senior Feng to rest for a few more days and then venture into the secret location again to check out the reality of the situation, to see what’s actually inside.”

Feng Jun was startled and pointed to his nose in disbelief, “I’d go in alone?”

Guan Shanyue smiled, “Senior Feng has an open heart and a noble character, displaying great virtue and high merit; we trust you completely.”

Feng Jun paused and then gave a thumbs up, “Director Guan, your gambling spirit, not to mention among women, is top-notch even among men… But you need to think this through. If I say there’s no gain, then there’s absolutely no gain, and you can’t have any doubts.”

Guan Shanyue nodded decisively, “No doubts, whatever you say goes. The promises of Senior Feng are far more valuable than all the possessions of my Danxia heavens… Frankly, I can’t think of anyone more suitable than you.”

Feng Jun agreed with her reasoning, nodding with a smile, but he still needed to emphasize one point, “One last detail, I need to confirm… Do you represent the entire Danxia heavens? Will others jump out to cause trouble?”

“No one will cause trouble,” Guan Shanyue answered with certainty, and… offered no further explanation.

At this moment, she finally shed the aura of a neighborly auntie and became someone who had “everything under control” as a superior.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jun’s eyebrows lifted, and he spoke with a smile, “Alright, I’ll take another trip inside. Actually, I also feel very uncomfortable with unfinished business… I really am not accustomed to leaving things incomplete.”

Surprisingly, they had agreed on this matter, and what followed was a discussion of the details.

Feng Jun stated that he didn’t need to rest and would return the following morning.

The next day it rained again, heavier than the day before.

Feng Jun and Xu Leigang arrived at the observatory, where Guan Shanyue had already prepared a mountain of things: side tables, gas stoves, chopping boards, dishes, and other items, as well as sun umbrellas, rain shelters, and loungers.

She said with a smile, “We left in a hurry yesterday without much food, so today I will show you my skills. A full vegetarian meal from Danxia heaven will give you strength for work… Senior Feng, could you help take some with you?”

Feng Jun had two storage bags and a storage ring, which could easily contain these items.

However, after setting off, Xu Leigang took the opportunity to murmur to Feng Jun, “Why do I feel… they want to waste your storage space?”

Feng Jun couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this… How to put it? Regardless of whether the other party intended it or not, he really could understand this sentiment. It’s good to be cautious–better safe than sorry isn’t a flaw.

The rain made the path slippery, and since it wasn’t the first day of rain, the mountain path was treacherous. It took them nearly two hours to reach Big Stone.

After arriving, Feng Jun wanted to activate the scroll and enter the Stone Gate directly–No need to unload the things I carried for you.

But Guan Shanyue disagreed, insisting on unloading everything, setting up the rain shelters, and suggesting Senior Feng should drink some water and take a break to muster his spirits before entering.

Everyone knew that the walk was trivial for Senior Feng, but he was about to enter the Stone Gate again, and who knew what lay inside. To recover a bit more was to gain a bit more assurance for survival.

Feng Jun wouldn’t reject their kindness, so he took out the items. In less than ten minutes, the five of them set up a campsite; all was ready except for the tents.

Then Feng Jun sat on a chair, lit a cigarette, and leisurely smoked, watching the other four people bustle about.

Before he finished his cigarette, the water boiled, and the little Daoist nun busied herself making tea.

Xu Leigang approached again, whispering, “It seems I was overthinking it. They brought these things to use.”

Feng Jun glanced at him, unamused, “A brain is a good thing to have…”

Xu Leigang blinked, confused, “Master, are you saying… my thoughts were brainless, problematic?”

Feng Jun lit another cigarette and spoke softly, “If I were to fill the Stone Gate with a lot of things… Could I still fit what they’ve laid out now?”

Of course, this conversation was just a light-hearted banter, the master showing off his intellect to his disciple, and to him, the protective measures of Magu Mountain mattered little–he didn’t plan on deceiving anyone.

After everyone had tea and chit-chatted for a while, Guan Shanyue took out the scroll, sweeping her gaze over it fiercely–as someone who neither cultivated nor pursued martial skills, she truly didn’t know how to sweep with Divine Sense.

She tried it nonetheless, and when she noticed no reaction on the rock, she handed the scroll to Feng Jun.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, the Stone Gate reappeared. Feng Jun handed the scroll back to Guan Shanyue, gave a bow, and turned towards the Stone Gate.

Once the Stone Gate opened, it wouldn’t close for a while, but looking inside from the outside, it was pitch-black, and nothing could be seen.

After waiting a while with no sound coming from inside, Guan Shanyue exclaimed softly, “Why is there no sound?”

“There has never been any sound,” the little Daoist nun spoke up, “It was the same yesterday. Despite what you said about lightning and thunder, I stood at the doorway and couldn’t see or hear anything.”

“This is the real secret of Cave Heaven,” Guan Shanyue sighed deeply, then came back to her senses, “Quick, step back a little, don’t block the entrance. Let’s leave enough space for Senior Feng.”

Feng Jun entered, leaving the four people outside feeling terribly bored. They were inclined to make some idle chatter, but they were also worried about Feng Jun’s progress.

Finally, Guan Shanyue simply set up a cutting board and began to prepare vegetables and cook.

The knife skills of the lady next door were not bad, and in addition to the rain pattering on the leaves, the air was filled with the rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables.

Xu Leigang wanted to crack a joke, “Is it really a full vegetarian feast? My master is not one to be happy without meat.”

The male Taoist said, “The rules at Magu are quite strict; however, soy products… can be made to taste not much different from meat.”

“Just kidding,” Xu Leigang laughed in response, “Meat is meat. Plant proteins and animal proteins are not the same, are they?”

After Guan Shanyue finished chopping vegetables, she picked up her mobile phone and ordered another table full of food before smiling at Xu Leigang, “We’ll just have a casual meal at noon, make do… I’ll let you all have a good meal tonight.”

“No need to be so polite,” Xu Leigang replied with a smile, “My master’s storage bag is full of food, he doesn’t really care much about culinary desires.”

“By the way,” Guan Shanyue remembered something, “Doesn’t everyone in Luohua Manor have a storage device?”

She had always wanted to ask this question, but every time she saw Feng Jun, she couldn’t muster up the courage–the pressure he gave her was just too intense. Perhaps, this is what they call the aura of a successful person?

So, she had to ask Feng Jun’s disciple instead.

“Where did you get that?” Xu Leigang glanced at her and shook his head without hesitation, “We have a standard… only those who qualify get one.”

However, his denial only confirmed some rumors, almost causing stars to appear in the eyes of the little Daoist nun, “So Luohua Manor really does throw its weight about… I wonder if they’re still taking disciples?”

Xu Leigang just laughed looking at her, “Our manor is quite strict about taking disciples, even if you went there, you’d have to start off doing odd jobs.”

The little Daoist nun’s face lit up with longing, “Doing odd jobs… isn’t out of the question.”

“Enough, Xiao Dai!” Guan Shanyue scolded her with a glance before turning to Xu Leigang again, “We didn’t dare to compete over the Nether Bead yesterday, but… storage devices and Golden Armor Charms, you should be able to spare some for us, right?”

She couldn’t say this to Feng Jun, king meets king, and once you’ve challenged, there’s no turning back.

She could ask Feng Jun for a Golden Armor Charm, but not for a storage device. But asking Xu Leigang, there was no pressure.

Of course, what she didn’t say was–no matter how many Spirit Stones Senior Feng used to fight the monster, the Nether Wolf was a monster from our territory.

“Storage devices, I think that’s unlikely,” Xu Leigang answered seriously, “These things are too sensitive and too prone to cause trouble. If you want Spirit Stones, it might be easier to get your hands on some.”

Guan Shanyue was silent; she could understand the difference. Spirit Stones were indeed valuable, but storage devices were even rarer.

For the former Danxia Heaven, Spirit Stones were already a treasure beyond their wildest dreams, let alone storage devices?

She pondered for a moment before asking, “I heard that the Storage Magical Artifacts from your manor can be used even without reaching the Qi Refinement Realm?”

Xu Leigang’s expression darkened, and he turned his head to ask, “Where did you hear that rumor?”

You’re not in the Qi Refinement Realm, are you? Guan Shanyue really wanted to retort, but in the end, she honestly replied, “Why need rumors? With so many Storage Bags in your manor, you can’t possibly have that many Qi Refinement Realm Great Cultivators, can you?”

Xu Leigang was silent for a while before laughing, “That’s true, there aren’t many in the Qi Refinement Realm in the manor.”

Guan Shanyue was suddenly shocked, “No way, besides Senior Feng, does Luohua still have Great Cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm?”

“How rare do you think that is,” Xu Leigang gave her a look, “In the manor, even those doing odd jobs have reached the Qi Refinement Realm.”

His words were not an exaggeration; wasn’t Hua Hua just someone doing odd jobs in the manor?

Guan Shanyue felt as if her worldview were about to collapse, but the next moment she steadied herself and spoke, “Danxia Heaven really wants to get Storage Bags… those storage devices which can be used without reaching the Qi Refinement Realm.”

Xu Leigang rubbed his head in distress. He himself used that kind of Storage Talisman, but only after he advanced to martial master and received the Storage Talisman did he truly understand why his master had stipulated that only those above martial master could possess a Storage Talisman.

Getting wealth with this thing was easy, far too easy.

It was only at the martial master cultivation level, when one could rely on cultivation to live quite comfortably, that one might be able to resist the temptation.

At the same time, with the martial master cultivation level, one would be more capable of protecting the Storage Talisman.

Like the Little Celestial Master Tang Wenji from Maoshan, she also received a Storage Talisman, not because she was pretty, but because she had already reached the martial master cultivation level.
