Chapter 918 - Chapter 918 Chapter 918 Auspicious Beast of Ten Thousand

Chapter 918: Chapter 918 Auspicious Beast of Ten Thousand Blessings Chapter 918: Chapter 918 Auspicious Beast of Ten Thousand Blessings Feng Jun, because he was about to leave, began to make grand purchases extensively. In addition to items like Spirit Valley Rice, he also procured a large number of Talismans, Elixirs, and the like. He bought quite a few Array Plates as well, spending Spirit Stones like flowing water.

Such extravagant spending couldn’t possibly escape others’ notice, and Chen Junsheng, who stayed behind, even reminded him to be careful of being targeted.

Feng Jun didn’t take this too seriously, for he was an Emergence Stage Cultivator himself, and with the Talented Scholars Plaque from Master Busheng in hand, anyone who wanted to make a move against him could only resort to stealth attacks and couldn’t confront him directly.

However, in the Mortal Realm, should combat arise between Emergence Stage Cultivators, the impact would be enormous–the iron law that immortals and mortals are distinct is clear, yet if cultivators cause chaos in the Mortal Realm, they would also face extremely severe punishment!

Those daring to strike at Feng Jun would, at the very least, be cultivators above the Emergence Stage. Once such a battle occurred in the Mortal Realm, as long as he could escape, the aggressor would be the one in for a rough time.

Even if he couldn’t escape, it wasn’t certain that Master Busheng from the Heavenly Heart Platform wouldn’t deduce and pursue the culprit.

Feng Jun had calculated all of these possibilities quite clearly. However, it had not occurred to him that, on the day before he left Qiuchen Market, disciples from the Crimson Pheonix Sect rushed over, hoping he could detoxify a Mystic Turtle for Wanfu Platform.

Wanfu Platform was also one of the Wutai, originally known as Myriad Talismans. Indeed, this power was famous for its Talismans.

However, three thousand years ago, one of the Myriad Talismans’ disciples died due to Sect related issues, and his progeny were not taken into the Sect, subject to the hardships of wandering homelessness, ultimately growing into a Grandmaster of Talismans–known as the “King of Talisman.”

The King of Talisman held deep hatred for Myriad Talismans; in his heart, not being admitted into Myriad Talismans was a minor matter. The critical point was that everyone said his father could have survived at the time–just that the cost of treatment was a bit too high.

So, after reaching the Golden Core Stage, he went alone to challenge Myriad Talismans–of course, the combat strength of a Golden Core wasn’t that extraordinary, but he used the method of challenging to direct his challenge at the Talisman Crafters of Myriad Talismans.

The challenge lasted for a hundred days; Myriad Talismans even summoned two Nascent Soul Grandmasters back to the Sect, but when it comes to Talisman Crafting, one cannot merely look at Cultivation Level. Those two Nascent Souls weren’t proficient in Talisman Crafting, so their presence was futile.

When Myriad Talismans wanted to use other means to deal with the opponent, the King of Talisman advanced to Nascent Soul, issuing a declaration that he would destroy Myriad Talismans once and for all, unless they changed their name–they were unworthy of the appellation Myriad Talismans!

Later on, the King of Talisman advanced to Emergence Stage and departed from this realm, ultimately causing Myriad Talismans to change their name.

These are all old stories. In short, Wanfu Platform is renowned for its Talismans, and now its expertise doesn’t just stop at Talismans, though its main focus still remains on various auxiliary Dharma methods and not on combat strength.

The Auspicious Beast of Wanfu Platform is unique to this realm, said to be bathed in destiny–a long time ago, the Inner Sect of Wanfu Platform consisted simply of a stone gate, famed as the Destiny Talisman. However, this gate was later taken by the King of Talisman.

Ordinarily, few would believe this story.

Destiny is a concept that could be attributed to fate, geomancy, or even facial features and birth horoscopes. If changes were needed, there were many rationales to provide, but no one has ever heard of a Talisman capable of altering destiny.

And yet, there is no denying it, those who have undergone the Destiny Talisman’s blessing did, indeed, experience better fortune; sadly, after the King of Talisman ascended to the Emergence Stage, with but a simple strike, the Destiny Talisman became but a legend.

Nowadays, the only ones left in Wanfu Platform that have received the Destiny Talisman’s blessing are one Emergence Stage Green-Backed Mystic Turtle, one Golden Core Stage Purple-Crested Crane, and two pine trees.

These Auspicious Beasts or Auspicious Trees are well-protected by Wanfu Platform. After a disciple has made great achievements, they could touch the Mystic Turtle’s shell or practice cultivation under the pine trees, which is said to enhance destiny.

The Mystic Turtle is now over three thousand years old and, by all accounts, should live another thousand years or so. However, having consumed Pills year-round, it has accumulated a substantial amount of toxins in its body; with no exercise, it has become increasingly listless, appearing as if its end is imminent.

Wanfu Platform was very anxious, continuously contacting various Alchemists to treat it, but to no avail. On the contrary, the more Elixirs the Mystic Turtle consumed, the more languid it became.

Feng Jun’s method of treating the Purple Gold Eagle had been heard by a select few–after all, treating a Spirit Beast for complex poisons was a rare occurrence, and more importantly, he succeeded.

This news reached the ears of a smaller Clan, with one family striving to get their son into the Four Sects and Wutai. They understood the needs of these powers very clearly, so they immediately reported the news, endeavoring to secure their contribution to the cause.

Because of their efforts, Wanfu Platform took note of this matter quite early on. This serves to show just how fierce the competition for opportunities in the Cultivation Path is–it truly is a case of the early bird getting the worm.

However, considering the serious nature of this issue, the disciples of Wanfu Platform did not come rushing over recklessly; instead, they first indirectly inquired about the validity of the matter.

After verifying the truth, treating the Mystic Turtle’s poisoning was added to the agenda.

Yet the people of Wanfu Platform were still somewhat unsure about Feng Jun, having heard that he had previously interacted with the Crimson Pheonix Bai Luan. Therefore, they requested the help of the Crimson Pheonix Sect, hoping Bai Luan would go to Qiuchen.

Bai Luan, as one of the Crimson Phoenix’s Nine Phoenixes, was not so easily persuaded to come. Given her own pressing matters that she couldn’t neglect and considering the good relationship between the two families, she recommended a junior sister of the Emergence early stage to come in her stead.

The Wanfu Platform was led by an Emergence high-rank Cultivator, who also brought with him the Green-Backed Mystic Turtle, amounting to three Emergence-stage Cultivators convening at Feng Jun’s dwelling.

Feng Jun had no choice but to halt his journey, prioritizing the reception of his guests.

The high-rank Cultivator from Wanfu Platform was not particularly arrogant. In fact, he didn’t speak much. His conversation boiled down to “We take this matter very seriously,” “a generous reward will certainly be given if the treatment is successful,” and “we hope that the treatment plan will be carried out with utmost caution.”

Conversely, the Emergence-stage Cultivator from the Crimson Phoenix Sect was very enthusiastic towards Feng Jun. This was not only because Feng was renowned for his superb medical skills but principally because Bai Luan, the Sect’s elite disciple, thought highly of him; naturally, she wouldn’t be disrespectful.

In actuality, a young and handsome Emergence-stage individual like Feng Jun was also quite attractive to female Cultivators. As long as they held no prejudice, most would be willing to establish connections with him.

Feng Jun first exchanged pleasantries for half a day and then spent another two days reviewing documents–the Green-Backed Mystic Turtle had undergone many treatments recently, and he needed to master the details.

On the morning of the third day, he began diagnosing the Green-Backed Mystic Turtle, which took him roughly half a day.

However, Feng Jun delayed another day before revealing his diagnosis results–without a doubt, the turtle suffered from mixed poisoning, definitively afflicted by as many as eleven types of toxic substances, along with seventeen other minor toxins.

In fact, the minor toxins weren’t particularly concerning, as Cultivators have inherent detoxifying abilities; the focus was truly on those eleven toxins.

Feng Jun did not rush into treatment; instead, he listed the details of the toxins and provided a numerical analysis of their proportions.

What both parties really valued was his ability to assess the toxins. As for treatment methods, Wanfu Platform wasn’t lacking skilled doctors.

After receiving the detailed list from Feng Jun, it took Wanfu Platform just one day to confirm the existence of the eleven primary toxins he had identified.

At this point, it was difficult for others not to admit Feng Jun’s expertise. The Emergence high-rank Cultivator made a special trip to ask him, “Feng, can you be certain that you’ve found all the toxins? I mean the more significant ones…”

Feng Jun didn’t like his expertise being questioned, but given the other’s higher cultivation level and decent attitude, he reluctantly assured, albeit with a hint of displeasure, “I can guarantee that… if you’re willing to trust me.”

The Emergence high-rank Cultivator couldn’t afford to be concerned with Feng’s sullen expression, given that his own questioning was quite offensive–was he allowed to inquire but not permit the other to be upset?

Now it was time for Wanfu Platform to provide compensation. Feng Jun did not ask for much–just a few very basic Talisman books and some extremely low-level Talismans.

Indeed, they were as low-level as they could be–so low that you’d scarcely find them in the Fang Market. Have you ever seen a Thunderclap Talisman that even a Mortal could activate?

Although these Talismans were rudimentary, the skills they contained were not necessarily simple. Since they were not available for purchase in the market, only a force such as Wanfu Platform, deeply invested in Talisman Crafting, would devote effort to such Talismans.

Indeed, dealing in such Talismans was somewhat forbidden, as letting Mortals buy them could lead to severe consequences. So, while only a few Talismans would occasionally circulate, their selling price was not low.

The people of Wanfu Platform were puzzled as to why Feng Jun would want these Talismans. They could not outright refuse him, so they asked through the Crimson Phoenix Sect, “What do you need these for?”

Feng Jun straightforwardly told them he planned to stay longer on Mount Zhige and conduct various experiments, thus requiring the hiring of Mortals to help with warning and guarding in the Mortal Realm.

The Crimson Phoenix Sect believed this reason since Bai Luan met Feng Jun on Mount Zhige. Nevertheless, they couldn’t help but inquire, “What’s there to linger for in the Mortal Realm? Better to come to the Cultivation World.”

Feng Jun responded rather grandiosely, “I’m conducting some tests and, incidentally, purifying my heart… As the old saying goes, one must sink to rise up.”

This answer didn’t completely dispel the doubts of the Crimson Phoenix Sect and Wanfu Platform, but it reasonably explained his motive, allowing the release of a batch of Talismans without violating any rules.

With the Talismans delivered, the matter was not yet concluded. Wanfu Platform hoped Feng Jun would partake in discussions on how to detoxify the Green-Backed Mystic Turtle–they hadn’t held Feng’s medical skills in high regard before, but now they hoped he could fill in the gaps they had missed.

Feng Jun truly had no desire to join the discussions. The matter of the eleven toxins alone posed a considerable challenge–merely the sequence of detoxification offered over thirty million different permutations, and while his small program could run them, persuading the other doctors involved in the discussion was a significant hurdle.

He couldn’t simply declare, “I’ve validated all these approaches, and the one selected now is the optimal one.”

Even if he did say so, would others be convinced?

Thus, he decided to take a circuitous approach, “First off, you need to stimulate the Mystic Turtle’s will to live. If it doesn’t want to survive, any treatment efforts will be half as effective with twice the work…”
