Chapter 764 - Chapter 764 Chapter 764 Chaoyang Earth Vein

Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Chaoyang Earth Vein Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Chaoyang Earth Vein Upon hearing Yang Yuxin’s words, Chao Ying felt a myriad of grievances swell up in her heart.

Overwhelmed with indignation, she didn’t bother to consider the background of the other party anymore. She turned, nodded slightly, and spoke with a blank expression, “Thank you for the advice, Director Yang. I really didn’t expect President Feng to be busy here.”

She didn’t believe that Feng Jun could be so occupied in the woods; all she could think of was–my brother is gone, and this is how you treat me?

What kind of person is Yang Yuxin? She simply couldn’t be bothered with Chao Ying’s emotions and looked at her as if she were a simpleton, “Now you know.”

But Chao Ying wasn’t just someone who vented her feelings. A thought crossed her mind, and she glanced at Feng Jun again.

She had heard a bit about Feng Jun’s current endeavors–he was on the Cultivation Path. Anyway, it was all that mystical stuff. Apparently, he even cured Lu Xiaoning’s condition, so Xiao Lu followed him in his practice.

As for such matters… well, how should she put it? Her feelings were somewhat mixed.

If it were twenty years ago, she wouldn’t have believed in these things. Hearing about such people and events would have made her respectfully keep her distance.

But now that she was older, and her family wealth had grown, her older brother’s business was doing well, she greatly cherished this kind of life.

So with regards to these mysterious people and events, she usually maintained an attitude of “better to believe they are real than not.”

In fact, the fact that Feng Jun could even bamboozle the Gu Family People was enough to prove his extraordinariness–at the very least, he had an extremely strong ability to beguile.

But to Chao Ying’s instincts, the young man really didn’t seem like someone who built his reputation on deceit.

Over the years, she had met quite a few “masters of the craft,” and wasn’t each one of them full of hot air about themselves?

Even those who pretended to be modest and didn’t boast would still show off an air of mystery.

But Feng Jun wasn’t like that; the young man really downplayed his importance intentionally. President Chao still remembered when her daughter got married, the young man drove a modestly luxury car for the wedding and didn’t even plan to stay at the wedding banquet to eat.

His modesty even made Chao Ying wonder if this person might be a white glove pushed out by some major player.

And Feng Jun’s cure of Lu Xiaoning’s epilepsy was not spoken of to anyone.

Chao Ying learned of this news only because Gazi’s parents had voluntarily mentioned it to others. When others asked Gazi, he wouldn’t directly admit it, simply smiling and saying, “Being with Brother Jun, my luck has greatly improved.”

These days there are no shortage of people who keep a low profile, but to delve into metaphysics and still keep a low profile, that means you really have some serious capabilities.

Seeing Feng Jun closing his eyes and making calculations, Chao Ying’s body suddenly shivered: What’s gotten into me, daring to feel resentful towards such a person in my heart?

After all, she was now of the mindset “better to believe they are real than not.”

So she offered an apologetic smile, “My visit was a bit presumptuous, but I do have an important matter. Once President Feng is free, please inform him, Director Yang.”

Director Yang nodded gently, so faintly that it was almost imperceptible.

Gazi, on the other hand, was more straightforward. He smiled and replied softly, “Don’t worry, President Chao. All is well.”

Chao Ying finally turned and left, feeling secretly relieved in her heart–clearly, it was good to do more kind deeds.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaobin looked at her from time to time, her gaze somewhat strange.

Chao Ying felt her gaze and turned her head to smile at her, “President Feng seems quite mysterious. Haven’t you learned a thing or two from him?”

“No,” Li Xiaobin replied frankly, shaking her head, “He likes that kind of life, but I don’t. Life at the manor is too dull for me. I am quite satisfied with my current life, and President Feng trusts me a lot.”

Chao Ying of course knew that Feng Jun placed a lot of trust in Li Xiaobin, but in her view, the main reason Xiao Li had earned his trust was because–they were middle school classmates.

The circle of classmates… its importance may be debatable, but once someone commits a wrongdoing against another, their reputation within the circle is ruined in an instant, and they face the scorn of the entire group.

But President Chao felt that Li Xiaobin simply didn’t know how to plan her own life. She probed further, “But I see Director Yang learning from him.”

Li Xiaobin dismissed the idea with a shake of her head, “That’s her choice. I’m still young; I want to enjoy life to the fullest.”

President Chao couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: When it comes to insight and the ability to make choices, can you really best Yang Yuxin?

Alas, in this day and age, those who are pampered are fearless, yet they don’t understand what they’ve truly missed…

Feng Jun sitting by the stream in meditation wasn’t just for show; he was attempting to adjust the Earth Vein here.

He had made many conjectures about Earth Veins before, but that was all speculation because he lacked the ability to draw on the Earth Vein.

It wasn’t until he refined the Jiuzhou Traveler’s Seal that he vaguely felt that it might be used to manipulate the Earth Vein.

He clashed head-on with the sword qi in Shen Qingyi’s jade talisman, and the many changes that followed finally proved this sensation he had.

Therefore, he took the opportunity to test the Earth Vein in Wangwu on the spot.

Although he was a bit rusty, his testing results were passable due to the extensive calculations he had done beforehand.

Originally, he had planned to test again near the Zhuang Family Cave, but unfortunately, there was not an iota of Earth Vein in the vicinity of the cave.

The Earth Vein of Luohua Manor was also minimal, and with two Spirit Gathering Arrays in operation, it was inconvenient for him to intervene, so he simply took the chance of being in Chaoyang to try and manipulate this place’s Earth Vein.

Speaking of which, the Earth Vein here, although not massive, was exceptionally abundant, second only to Xiqing Mountain, and it was also a territory that had been contracted by his own family. Feng Jun shouldn’t recklessly attempt this–what if he damaged it?

However, Feng Jun had some confidence in his calculations, and the test in Wangwu was quite successful; he felt that there wouldn’t be any major mistakes.

The key point was that places with Earth Veins were really not common, and most of them already had owners; testing with others’ property was always not so convenient.

After calculating here for two days, he finally started to exert influence on the Earth Vein.

Because he was certain there was no one around this time, his intervention was much stronger than in Wangwu.

Tang Wenji, the protector, could even feel a slight tremor coming from the ground, “Gazi, do you feel the Earth trembling?”

Gazi had also achieved the Middle-Stage Martial Master rank, but after sensing with eyes closed for quite a while, he ultimately gave up and shook his head dejectedly, “No… but I always feel like something is changing.”

His sensing of energy might be slightly stronger, but when it came to the direct feeling of the environment, he really fell short compared to the Little Celestial Master. This was a gap in talent, and it was impossible to force.

By contrast, Yang Yuxin didn’t feel anything, but she still took the initiative to ask, “Wenji, can seismographs detect such minor vibrations? If so, I could try contacting them.”

“Forget it,” Tang Wenji said with a wry smile, shaking her head. The saying “wealth forces one’s hand” really wasn’t false at all. Even though Director Yang didn’t understand anything and had not the slightest bit of cultivation level, she always managed to get help from relevant departments, which made her, a cultivator, feel deeply aggrieved.

“How long will it take for Feng Jun to finish this operation? The seismographs won’t detect such minor fluctuations, will they?”

But unexpectedly, Feng Jun only persisted for a day and a half before stopping the manipulation of the Earth Vein.

Manipulating an Earth Vein is actually a long process, not something that can be done overnight.

Especially large-scale Earth Vein tractions often require setting up large Spirit Formations and exerting influence over the course of many years to eventually complete them.

Feng Jun had only slightly manipulated the Earth Vein here and immediately realized: manipulating the Earth Vein here was much more difficult than in Wangwu.

Even though the Earth Vein here was small, it was already relatively rich. Given the poverty of its surrounding environment, maintaining this level was already quite an achievement. To further improve it would of course be much more challenging.

Feng Jun’s operation this time was quite consuming of Spiritual Energy, because the consumption of Spiritual Energy was significant, so was the reaction. Indeed, for this reason, the Little Celestial Master could even feel the slight tremors coming from the ground.

He persisted for a day and a half, and then he could no longer continue as the Spiritual Energy in his body was almost depleted. He had to rest and recover.

The manipulation of the Earth Vein here was far from reaching his expectations. He estimated that it would take ten times as much time to elevate this Earth Vein to a relatively satisfying rank.

Of course, that pertained specifically to the Earth Vein of this small area. If it was about manipulating an Earth Vein over a larger area, more Spiritual Energy would be required.

At this moment, Feng Jun deeply realized why Huang Fu Flawless said that he needed to be at a high-rank ascension level for the Spirit Land created by manipulating the Earth Vein to be presentable.

This endeavor consumes too much Spiritual Energy and time; cultivation level is a solid benchmark, allowing no deception.

In battles between cultivators, one can overcome stronger enemies by using Magic Artifacts, bodily techniques, or Cultivation Techniques, but when it comes to Earth Vein manipulation, it is really hard to achieve effects beyond one’s rank.

After ending his practice, he went to the Mobile Phone Plane to replenish a bit of Spiritual Energy. This time he didn’t activate the Spirit Gathering Array but merely rested for three days, allowing his Spiritual Energy to recover to around twenty percent.

He thought it was necessary to consider setting up a Spirit Restoration Array, a formation that would allow direct replenishment of Spiritual Energy through Spirit Stones.

Otherwise, every time he needed to replenish Spiritual Energy, having to go to the Mobile Phone Plane was too inconvenient.

In case he encountered enemies in the Mobile Phone Plane and had to recuperate covertly in the Earth Plane, the Spirit Restoration Array would be even more indispensable.

However, that was a matter for the next step. What he needed to do now was to observe the effects of this Earth Vein manipulation.

This observation took quite some time; Feng Jun observed from evening until dawn, spending nearly ten hours.

Normally, observing an Earth Vein shouldn’t take so long, but Feng Jun soon discovered after beginning his observation that the Earth Vein had indeed improved somewhat–by about fifteen percent. However, what was terrible was that during the observation process, the Earth Vein actually began to weaken!

Was there a rebound effect in Earth Vein manipulation? Feng Jun really felt like cursing at that moment…

By dawn, the previously improved Earth Vein was still in a state of continuous weakening, but fortunately, the rate of decline had significantly slowed.
