Chapter 898 - Chapter 898 Chapter 898 Danxia Heavens Bounty (2nd Update)

Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Danxia Heaven’s Bounty (2nd Update) Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Danxia Heaven’s Bounty (2nd Update) Guan Shanyue had barely arrived at the Daoist temple when someone reported that people from the Cultural Relic Bureau had visited.

However, Director Guan had just come out of the minor world and was preoccupied with many matters, only now bringing up the issue.

Tang Wenji immediately responded, “It must have been Yue Yao, I always thought he seemed untrustworthy.”

Zhang Caixin raised an eyebrow, slightly puzzled, “That guy was already scared witless that day, why would he still do this kind of thankless task?”

“Heh,” Zhang Dongyuan scoffed coldly and scornfully said, “That guy just loves chaos, doing things that harm others and not himself isn’t new for him, and moreover, he suffered a big loss this time, so it’s normal for him to seek revenge.”

Guan Shanyue always followed rules in her actions. Although she agreed with this guess, she still took out her mobile phone, “I’ll have someone look into it.”

Director Guan was quite well-known locally and soon found out the truth. As expected, it was a monk with credentials who had personally reported to the Cultural Relic Bureau.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Caixin was still a bit puzzled, “For such matters… wouldn’t calling the police or maybe the Ministry of Civil Affairs be better? The Cultural Relic Bureau isn’t that powerful, is it?”

“Cai Xin, you are really mistaken on this matter,” Elder Guo said with a smile, “It’s said that the Cultural Relic Bureau is a clean government office, but from what I know, many key members of the bureau are not ordinary rich.”

“That’s normal,” Qiudaozhang said in a tone of transcending the mortal coil, “Just like tomb raiding experts, most of them study archaeology… It’s hard to turn knowledge into wealth, but it comes easier with illegal means.”

Tang Wenji blinked and couldn’t help asking, “So the Cultural Relic Bureau is so eager because they have personal motives?”

“That’s for sure,” Elder Guo answered with a smile, “Think about it, they are a clean government office, it’s none of their business, why would they be so enthusiastic and moreover… quite aggressive?”

“It’s all thanks to Feng Jun, our protector,” Guan Shanyue said smilingly, then quickly raised an eyebrow, “This Yue Yao really is going too far. Does anyone have connections in Putuo?”

Everyone present belonged to the Daoist lineage while Putuo was a Buddhist sect’s domain; even if someone knew a few people there, it was unlikely they would take action against their own people.

After a pause, Qiudaozhang finally spoke, asking, “Director Guan, how do you want to punish that scoundrel?”

Guan Shanyue didn’t specify but expressed, “What he did, actually can’t affect my Danxia Sky, but his actions are truly disgusting. If I don’t strike back strongly, others will think Danxia Sky is easy to bully… That’s absolutely unacceptable.”

What does a strong retaliation mean, killing? Qiudaozhang frowned–the last time they had already struck someone with lightning.

In the ensuing silence, Feng Jun spoke up, “The problem with this man is that he wanders everywhere, his mind is not righteous and he loves causing trouble. If someone could control his legs and mouth, that would pretty much do it, right?”

“That’s very true,” Guan Shanyue nodded, smiling at him, “May I ask if the venerable Feng has any advice?”

She hadn’t thought of asking Feng Jun to make a move, not that she didn’t want to, but she was very clear: she couldn’t afford it.

The exalted transcendent could, if willing, make Yue Yao meet with a silent and accidental death.

However, Feng Jun showed no intention of making a move himself. He smiled and suggested, “Since that is so, issue a hunting permit for the Spirit Beast Garden, let the whole Daoist Sect put up a reward… to keep Yue Yao’s legs and mouth in check.”

“Brilliant!” Guan Shanyue clapped her hands, delighted by the suggestion, “Feng Jun truly has great insight.”

Rewards were rarely discussed in the Daoist Sect as cultivators focus on self-cultivation rather than external things, and Magu Mountain, a cultivation place primarily for female cultivators, was even more detached from such topics. However, now as Danxia Sky was rising, it was essential to show the strength and decisiveness in defending the Daoist orthodoxy.

But the expressions of the others were a bit strange, after a moment, Dong Zenghong, the heir of Ghost Valley, spoke up, “Director Guan, do you mean… you still want to announce to the other branches of Daoist Sects that you have a Spirit Beast Garden?”

The hunting permits for the Spirit Beast Garden were meant to be sold or traded for resources–this had been agreed with everyone beforehand.

This time, everyone hadn’t put up money; it was Feng Jun who had covered for everyone–incidentally replenishing spiritual energy for Ma Sanniang as well. Yet, even so, thirty percent of the hunt’s spoils were reserved for Danxia Sky.

In short, if anyone wanted to enter Danxia Sky’s Spirit Beast Garden, they first had to pay an entrance fee, and they also had to hand over thirty percent of their harvest–of course, Luohua Manor would have a certain proportion in this thirty percent.

Fees for both entering and harvesting might seem excessive? Sorry, don’t think it’s too much, Danxia Sky states that they would review entry qualifications, and some who wish to pay might not be possible.

This consideration was multifaceted. For example, if disciples from Wudang wanted to form a hundred-person group to enter, Guan Shanyue would definitely not agree–this would disrupt the balance.

The minor world was teeming with Spirit Beasts, seemingly endless to kill. Danxia Sky didn’t mind if everyone killed a bit more, but if a specific sect gained an overwhelming advantage, that would be absolutely unacceptable.

Everyone present had participated in the hunt, they were well aware of how precious that area was, not only suitable for hunting Spirit Beasts but also an ideal place for cultivation and a rare real combat site.

Whenever it was, participating in real combat was an unrivaled method to enhance personal strength.

So everyone present was considering how to block this news as much as possible, and now Magu Mountain was actually offering a reward with a quota for the Spirit Beast Garden. While everyone was happy, they also inevitably felt a bit sour.

Dong Zenghong didn’t have many friends within the Daoist Sects, so he was the first to speak out.

Before Guan Shanyue could respond, Feng Jun spoke up first, “Zenghong, my friend, you’re worrying too much.”

In the future, he might not have time to visit Danxia Heaven often, so during his time there, he would help Director Guan support the situation.

He smiled and said, “Right now, only those of us present know about it. How you choose to publicize it is up to you. You can keep that quota for yourself, but you’ll have to figure out how to reward those who help.”

You don’t want the news to spread? That’s fine, as long as someone gets the job done, isn’t giving away that quota the same to anyone?

Hearing the conversation, Dong Zenghong laughed awkwardly, “Having such a fruitful outcome this time is all thanks to Master Feng. If you say so, I have no problem. Maybe… I should say it’s a joint reward from Danxia Heaven and Luohua?”

“No problem,” Guan Shanyue replied quickly, almost preempting the answer.

Feng Jun looked at her and shook his head with a smile, “Forget it, you’ve worked hard for your traffic. I won’t hog your spotlight.”

“What spotlight?” Guan Shanyue denied outright, “In today’s Daoist circles, your Luohua’s reputation far surpasses Danxia Heaven. If anyone is riding on coattails, it’s me.”

Tang Wenji’s eyes flickered, “How about this? Let’s say it’s a joint reward from Maoshan and Danxia Heaven, ten days of Cultivation in the Spirit Gathering Array.”

The Cultivation slots at Maoshan’s Spirit Gathering Array were highly coveted, currently only gifted, not sold.

Hearing this, Zhang Dongyuan couldn’t help but speak up, “I, from Mount Qingcheng, offer a Five Thunder Righteous Heart Talisman.”

He felt that, no matter what, The Sky of the Nine Immortal Chambers should be ranked higher than those two, and it would be inappropriate not to make a gesture.

However, as soon as he spoke, he paused and then looked towards Feng Tianyang, “Tianyang, my friend, perhaps Xuande Cave Heaven shouldn’t be listed this time…”

Hearing this, Feng Tianyang became furious and cut him off, “Zhang, don’t go too far. If the other three can be listed, why can’t Xuande Cave Heaven? Believe me, you’ll regret this very soon.”

“Let me finish,” Zhang Dongyuan said with a bitter smile, “If Xuande Cave Heaven is to be listed, then Siming Mountain… might follow suit, even Wudang Mountain too. What do you think the authorities will think if five or six Cave Heavens all got involved in planning something?”

Feng Tianyang was momentarily startled. He hadn’t considered that reason, but still felt somewhat irritated and scoffed, “Then why don’t you from Mount Qingcheng take a break, why should I?”

Feeling confident about soon having a Spirit Gathering Array of his own, not to mention the strained relationship between Mount Qingcheng and Luohua.

“Alright, since you are all friends of Danxia Heaven, I appreciate your kindness,” Director Guan intervened to smooth things over, smiling, “You all already have a strong presence. Let’s let Danxia Heaven take the limelight alone this time.”

To be honest, she was willing to include Luohua in the list, but for the others… she wasn’t really interested, even though she had good relations with both Maoshan and Mount Qingcheng.

Anyhow, the matter of the reward was settled, and after chatting for a while longer, everyone went to rest.

After all, they hadn’t rested well in the small world and had just come out today. As the excitement wore off, they all felt sleepy.

But some people had things on their minds and weren’t in a hurry to sleep, like Dong Zenghong, the heir of Ghost Valley.

He went directly to Feng Jun’s guest room, “Master Feng, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

Feng Jun, who wasn’t sleepy at all since he had been in the protector state for five days–idly reading during the day, and after setting up protective formations at night, he could sleep soundly–really felt a bit bored.

Today, Tang Wenji had come out, and normally they could do some yoga or something and help her heal.

However, the Little Celestial Master was genuinely tired, and with so many people from the Daoist Sects in the courtyard, it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to openly stay together–probably even Zhang Caixin wouldn’t approve.

Feng Jun offered him a cup of tea and spoke with a smile, “No rush, take your time, as long as it’s not about Spirit Stones.”

He remembered the first time he met Dong Zenghong at Maoshan, the latter had wanted to buy a Spirit Stone.

“Uh,” Dong Zenghong hesitated a moment, then spoke sheepishly, “I actually wanted to purchase a few Spirit Stones.”

Feng Jun was taken aback, then looked at him with interest, “Zenghong, with all due respect, what do you think my Spirit Stones are worth?”

Dong Zenghong pondered before replying, “I believe they’re priceless, they can’t be measured with money. Although my lineage of Ghost Valley also has quite a bit of wealth, I’m afraid it might not be enough to persuade you… In fact, purchasing Spirit Stones with money isn’t quite appropriate.”
