Big Data Cultivation
Chapter 708 - Chapter 708 708

Chapter 708: 708 Chapter 708: 708 Feng Jun and Xu Leigang stayed on Magu Mountain for a full five days.

The first two days were spent exploring the secret place; in the following three days, Feng Jun not only healed his injuries but also studied the knowledge related to Earth Veins.

It was then that he realized why places like Maoshan had no literature on Earth Veins–this knowledge was truly… profound.

With his intellect and experience, he couldn’t fully grasp the mysteries within.

Fortunately, he was right in Magu Mountain, where not only were there Cave Heavens, but also blessed lands to perform some field surveys and improve his understanding.

On the fifth day, he spent the whole day wandering around the mountain.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, Xu Leigang drove Feng Jun away, and they returned to Luohua Manor that same day,

His injuries hadn’t fully recovered, mainly because the Danxia Heaven had hardly any spiritual energy; he still needed to recuperate back at the manor.

Four women were already cultivating in the backyard’s Spirit Gathering Array; Feng Jun and Xu Leigang entered the bamboo forest in the valley.

However, Sister Hong and the others had heard that Feng Jun had fought two high-rank ghosts alone, resulting in serious injuries that had yet to heal.

Thus, that very night, the four women in the backyard ceased their cultivation to let Feng Jun “come home to cultivate.”

In fact, among the four women, Zhang Caixin had the highest demand for spiritual energy. The other three combined couldn’t match her alone, so as long as she was willing to stop cultivating, Feng Jun recuperating there wouldn’t likely affect the others.

Gu Jiahui’s cultivation was quite stable, and the second layer of shedding the mortal was in sight; her cultivation technique matched her aptitude so well that cultivating had become as natural as water flowing along its path.

Her pace wasn’t fast, but neither was it slow. And for a long while to come, she would maintain such a pace–never falling behind but also not risking instability due to rapid progress.

Therefore, she didn’t need relentless, tireless cultivation; learning to relax appropriately was the way of cultivation.

The two of them went to rest in the back building, leaving Sister Hong and Feng Jing to accompany Feng Jun in his cultivation there.

Around midnight, Feng Jing brought out a camp bed, appearing set to spend the night in the pavilion early, and even hung up mosquito curtains around.

Sister Hong then took out red wine and invited her to drink together, “Actually, practicing yoga in the Spirit Gathering Array would yield the best results.”

Feng Jun finally could not resist such an invitation; after transferring his energy through a complete circuit, he stood up, “Speaking of yoga, it’s really helpful for recovering from my injuries.”

The yoga session lasted for several hours. He had been away for quite a while; Sister Hong and Feng Jing had accumulated too much energy, which they needed to release through yoga.

At 6 a.m., as the sky began to lighten, Feng Jun urged the two women in a low voice, “Alright, go in and rest, if you don’t leave now, the other two will see us.”

Feng Jing clung to his ankles, refusing to let go, “No, I have to push harder; I feel like I’m about to break through to the intermediate level of shedding the mortal.”

Ever since her trip to the mobile phone world, her enthusiasm for cultivation had greatly increased; the salty fish was turning into a catfish.

“But the day is breaking,” Sister Hong yawned lazily, speaking in a languid tone, “Even if you don’t mind them seeing, there are satellites and such in the sky… I’ve heard that the resolution of satellites these days is pretty high.”

Feng Jing hesitated and then spoke softly, “How about we go to the Jade Tower and continue practicing?”

Feng Jun hesitated for a moment before finally speaking tentatively, “But… there isn’t a Spirit Gathering Array there, right?”

Even if they continued practicing, the abundance of spiritual energy mattered. The effects of practicing yoga in the Spirit Gathering Array were the best.

Feng Jing pressed her point, “But as you said, practicing yoga is very helpful for your injury recovery.”

In fact, that was indeed the case. Feng Jun’s injuries had already improved significantly and were essentially healed. Now, he was just nurturing his body, striving for a “flawless recovery” to avoid leaving any hidden problems for future cultivation and advancement.

In such a situation, he found that practicing yoga at that time had a better effect on nourishing his body.

Upon hearing that, Feng Jun couldn’t help but remember the time he was poisoned with Qi Dissipating Powder, and it was their intimate interaction that helped him regain his sense of Qi.

The way of Yin Yang was indeed among the Great Daos of heaven and earth.

Feng Jun extended his hand, wrapping himself and Feng Jing in a blanket, and flew straight toward the door of the Jade Tower.

Once they reached the door and used the fingerprint lock, the two disappeared inside.

“Bastard!” Having finished a yoga session that left her feeling refreshed, Sister Hong gradually felt sleep coming on as she pondered whether to go back to the rear building to rest. Seeing the two enter the Jade Tower, she suddenly wasn’t sleepy anymore.

Since its completion, the Jade Tower had been fully furnished and the smell of the decoration had dissipated, yet no one had stayed there before. And now, these two–the dog and the bitch–actually… just went in like that?

She jumped off the bed, hastily gathering the mattress, camp bed, and mosquito curtains, then wrapped herself in a blanket. On this early February morning, with the chill of early spring, she walked into the Jade Tower, bearing her white, bare legs.

However, she did not notice that this entire scene was witnessed by a pair of wide eyes in the rear building.

Gu Jiahui hadn’t slept well the previous night; due to the dim streetlights in the backyard, she saw that Director Mei had hung up mosquito curtains in the pavilion and had been thinking all along about what the three of them were doing.

Girls her age understand what they should, so she tossed and turned throughout the night, unable to sleep soundly.

In her dreams, she alternated between taking on the persona of Teacher Mei and Sister Hong, with the handsome face of a man always fluttering before her eyes.

Early in the morning, she woke up again and couldn’t help but lift a corner of the window curtain to see what they were doing.

When she saw Feng Jun and Teacher Mei wrapped in quilts entering Jade Tower, followed shortly by Sister Hong who had put away some items and also went into Jade Tower, a surge of jealousy overwhelmed her: This Jade Tower… why should it belong solely to you two?

After standing in stunned silence for a moment, she opened her room door and went to knock on the adjacent door of Zhang Caixin.

Soon, Zhang Caixin opened the door, dressed in her martial arts training attire, full of vigor–it wasn’t yet daylight when she had gotten up to train because she felt she was just a hair away from a breakthrough to the High-Rank of shedding the mortal body.

She had long been aware of the noises from the backyard at night, but as the younger sister, what could she say? It was something she had grown accustomed to.

However, when she heard that those three had entered Jade Tower, she also burst into a rage, her face swelling with anger, “How could this… this is too much, he first told me he was going to build Jade Tower, if anyone should live there first, it should be me! I was the one who supervised its construction!”

No wonder she was angry, for any Huaxia citizen who had heard the story of “concealing beauty in golden house” would realize that Jade Tower had a much higher status, given that gold has a price but jade is priceless.

Perhaps this Jade Tower is the first and only of its kind in Huaxia’s history.

They say all women belong to the dragon species, and the Flawless Mutton Fat White Jade could drive almost any woman crazy, not to mention the “unique in history” distinction it carried.

Zhang Caixin had always believed that even if she couldn’t be the sole owner of Jade Tower, she should at least have the authority to decide who could stay and who couldn’t–if I don’t like her look, she is decidedly not allowed to move in.

And now, look what happened: those two just moved in, making her feel like a joke!

“Indeed,” Gu Jiahui nodded seriously, “I’m not coveting the Jade Tower itself, it’s just that they moved in so directly without inviting us to warm the house, it’s a disrespect to us, we are all Master’s female… female disciples.”

Zhang Caixin knew this little sister had ulterior motives, but at that moment, she could not care less, “Not invite us? Then let’s just move in ourselves, I would like to see who dares to stop us.”

After saying that, she flung the door open, ready to leave, but Gu Jiahui was anxious and called out, “Wait a minute, Caixin, let me put on my pants.”

Five minutes later, the two arrived at the entrance of Jade Tower, and Zhang Caixin reached out to press her fingerprint on the lock, attempting it several times, only to hear an alarm sound from the doorbell.

“How dare they delete my fingerprint?” Zhang Caixin grew even more infuriated, “Hmph… as if I don’t have the password.”

The door to Jade Tower had three ways to unlock it: fingerprint, password, and card. Zhang Caixin’s hands moved quickly, striking nine buttons in rapid succession. Then… came another series of “beep beep beeps” from the alarm.

Frustrated, she lifted her leg and kicked the door, “This is robbery, seizing the fruits of my labor, why won’t they let me in… wuwu.”

Her tears were about to fall from vexation.

Right at that moment, the speaker on the door buzzed to life, broadcasting Sister Hong’s languid voice, “Wait a moment, Caixin, the door is deadbolted, we’re doing our morning exercises… just practice your Tun Na in the pavilion for a while.”

“Deadbolted…” Zhang Caixin felt a “buzz” in her ears as blood rushed to her head, “Why is it deadbolted?”

“Caixin,” Feng Jun’s voice came through the speaker, gentle yet commanding, with a slight… panting?

He cleared his throat, “Congratulations, you’ve advanced to the seventh layer of shedding the mortal body, you now need to stabilize your realm.”

What? Zhang Caixin thought she might have heard wrong, “What are you congratulating me for? Shedding the mortal… seventh layer?”

“Yes, you’ve just advanced,” Feng Jun replied with a laugh, but at the same time, the sound of trickling water and his slightly unsteady breath could be faintly heard through the speaker, “it was right outside the door when you advanced, such a huge fluctuation of spiritual energy, I felt it.”

This means… I’ve advanced? Zhang Caixin could hardly believe her ears. She looked around instinctively–I wasn’t in the Spirit Gathering Array, was I? I can advance like this?

The next moment, she was shocked by this unexpected surprise–she had reached the High-Rank of Qi Refinement?

But immediately after, her anger flared up again, “Why did you deadbolt the door?”

“Deadbolt?” There was a trace of confusion in Feng Jun’s voice, “Oh, I don’t know. Hurry and stabilize your realm… do you want to fall back down?”

After much deliberation, Zhang Caixin returned to the pavilion and began to meditate and cultivate.

That evening, the news of Zhang Caixin’s advancement spread throughout the manor. Although she had advanced many times, and everyone was used to it, this time was different, as she had broken through a barrier.

And the next time she breaks through a barrier, she will be a true, solid practitioner in the Qi Refinement Realm.

As she was still stabilizing her realm, there was no celebration, but the next day brought new news.

Gu Jiahui had also advanced!

Feng Jun grew slightly curious: Does barring entry to Jade Tower really help with faster advancement?
