Chapter 928 - Chapter 928 Chapter 928 The Smart Person Who Saves Trouble

Chapter 928: Chapter 928: The Smart Person Who Saves Trouble Chapter 928: Chapter 928: The Smart Person Who Saves Trouble Feng Jun ended the call with Dong Zenghong and dialed Yang Yuxin to explain the situation once more.

Yang Yuxin hesitated for a moment before counter-asking, “Aren’t you angry with them?”

“I…” Feng Jun contemplated before answering, “Such trivial matters aren’t worth fretting over; the main issue was last time, when you were wronged.”

“It doesn’t bother me,” Yang Yuxin replied very generously, “That’s still my hometown… In fact, after that incident, people from home have tried to reach out to me many times. I thought you’d be unhappy, so I didn’t respond to them.”

At the time of the incident, she really was quite furious with the people of Jin City, almost getting shot and even nearly causing Feng Jun’s death.

But when she learned that Feng Jun was even more incredible than she imagined and probably wasn’t in any real danger at the time, her anger dissipated quite a bit. Moreover, without that incident, there wouldn’t have been that night…

And her adorable treasure, Jia Hui, might not have had the chance to embark on the journey of cultivation.

Plus, considering that the incident happened in her hometown, could she really continue to hold a grudge?

Feng Jun felt warmth in his heart upon hearing this, not expecting Director Yang to consider his feelings.

With the philosophy of “If someone respects me by an inch, I’ll respect them by a foot,” he immediately expressed his position, “It doesn’t matter to me. You decide, and I’ll cooperate with you… Enhancing the Earth Vein for them is alright, but I can’t guarantee it will work.”

Yang Yuxin was also very pleased to hear this. After pondering for a moment, she stated, “Let me find out more first, to see how far the investigation into the last shooting has gotten. If it doesn’t satisfy me, then we can ignore them.”

Having decided this, Feng Jun checked out of the hotel and went to Dong Zenghong’s residence in the suburbs.

The two of them spoke in that same study. Feng Jun entered and directly took out a Gathering Spirit Array Plate, placing it onto the coffee table, “This Array Plate can be used to cultivate to the Mid-stage Qi Refining.”

This time, he didn’t bring out the kind of analytic Spirit Gathering Array but instead specifically purchased an Array Plate similar to the one that Yu Changqing had in his possession… because the analytic Spirit Gathering Arrays wore out too quickly.

This kind of Array Plate could be used for roughly a hundred years, while the analytic Spirit Gathering Arrays only lasted just over ten years.

Feng Jun considered himself to be a conscientious person. Since he had accepted the repercussions of the Destiny Plate, it was only right to offer something of better quality as compensation. The Destiny Plate had been in use by the Ghost Valley Sect for at least a thousand years; returning it with a Spirit Gathering Array that lasted only ten years… that wouldn’t be proper.

A Gathering Spirit Array Plate that could last over a hundred years was far more appropriate. After all, it’s not possible to use the Spirit Gathering Array indefinitely–even he didn’t use his continuously. Therefore, by alternating its use, it could last for several centuries without an issue.

Another advantage of this Gathering Spirit Array Plate was that it allowed for the engraving of Divine Sense markings–as previously mentioned, Yu Changqing’s Gathering Spirit Array Plate had the mark of the Wuyou Platform engraved on it, so there was no fear of it being stolen.

In the Fang Markets of the Cultivation World, only Array Plates like the Gathering Spirit Array Plate, which are the most common and have the highest usage rate, warranted such a feature. Other Defense Array Disks seldom included this design.

Naturally, if one seeks a cheaper Gathering Spirit Array Plate, then one shouldn’t expect it to have the feature of engraving Divine Sense markings.

Feng Jun purchased a relatively expensive one, concerned about the Array Plate being stolen or robbed.

The Array Plate was indeed meant for Dong Zenghong; he didn’t plan to take it back. But once the Spirit Gathering Array was in use, it would inevitably make some noise, far from being as discreet as the Destiny Plate. Not to mention, Dong Zenghong planned to share it with others.

Under such circumstances, if the Kunlun were to catch wind and attempt to steal the Array Plate, it would still be his responsibility, and he’d have to intervene to retrieve it.

Of course, this was just a hypothetical situation. However, spending a few more Spirit Stones to buy an Array Plate capable of Divine Sense engraving was also his way of taking responsibility.

Feng Jun had already engraved his Divine Sense onto it, but that wasn’t something he needed to let Dong Zenghong know.

The Gathering Spirit Array Plate was good in all respects; the only concern was that it consumed Spirit Stones too quickly–at least twenty times faster than the Spirit Gathering Array from Maoshan.

But Feng Jun didn’t have a solution for that. Strictly speaking, the Maoshan Spirit Gathering Array was basically a castrated version, a “late dharma plane characteristic” Spirit Gathering Array, while his proficiency in Formation lay in analysis, not in castration.

But well… a true Spirit Gathering Array would also produce much thicker Spiritual Energy, something completely unreplicable by Maoshan.

Feng Jun laid everything out there, and when Dong Zenghong heard that a single Spirit Stone could only support one month, his face showed an impressive array of expressions.

Feng Jun felt he couldn’t continue to indulge him, so he took out a Spirit Stone and inserted it into the Gathering Spirit Array Plate.

As he fiddled with it, he said, “Actually, you can discuss with Maoshan to alternate the usage times of the Spirit Gathering Array… Even I don’t use the Spirit Gathering Array for more than six months in a year. I’ll give you five Spirit Stones, which should be more than enough for a year.”

It wasn’t that he begrudged giving more, but he needed to maintain a monopoly on Spirit Stones. Giving too many Spirit Stones to Dong Zenghong also wasn’t beneficial–what if they attracted unwanted attention?

In fact, the Ghost Valley Sect was so impoverished they couldn’t even produce a single Spirit Stone, and the Destiny Plate had essentially become useless.

If it weren’t for Feng Jun, the Ghost Valley Sect might not come across a single Spirit Stone in the next thousand years.

As he spoke, the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Stone dissipated into the air, refreshing and invigorating the mind, and one could even vaguely sense that the Spiritual Energy of the world was slowly converging here–of course, this might be a psychological effect as it would take at least two days for the Spirit Gathering Array to accumulate sufficient Spiritual Energy.

Dong Zenghong was stunned for a moment before he managed a bitter smile, “Master Feng, I really have nothing to say.”

The strength of the Ghost Valley Sect lay in its strategies; for many causes and effects, he didn’t need the other party to explain to understand them clearly.

So he couldn’t accuse Feng Jun of being ungenerous–the compensation was indeed substantial, only it was not what he wanted.

It could be said that such a style was quite different from that of the Ghost Valley Sect, but he couldn’t say that the Spirit Gathering Array was bad.

He also thought about it–the supply of Spirit Stones for the Spirit Gathering Array was a problem, but was the supply for the Destiny Plate not a problem?

In the end, he sighed, “I know my request is impolite, but… can you give me more Spirit Stones?”

“For now, that’s all there is,” Feng Jun coughed lightly and spoke slowly, “My supply of Spirit Stones is also tight, let’s see how it goes. If I have more Spirit Stones, supplying you with five a year won’t be a problem.”

Dong Zenghong looked at him deeply, nodded with a troubled expression, and said, “Thank you, Master Feng.”

With the intelligence of the Ghost Valley Sect, he guessed a bit of the other party’s thoughts, although not very certain, but roughly so.

Ten Spirit Stones would allow everyone to make a trip to the small world, and would it cost five more?

In Luohua Manor, many people owned Storage Talismans–could they really not spare a Storage Talisman for him?

But how to put it? The law must not be imparted lightly, and neither should the resources of the Cultivation Path.

Strictly speaking, this was a good thing–at least Feng Jun felt he owed something to the Ghost Valley Sect; which other Daoist branch had the credentials to make Master Feng feel remorseful?

After advancing to the Ascendant Phase, Feng Jun’s perceptive abilities became even more acute, and he could feel that Dong Zenghong probably had his suspicions.

It was better that he guessed it; to see through without pointing it out was even better. Dealing with smart people had this kind of comforting aspect.

Thus, he didn’t explain further and took out a Storage Talisman that was meant for mortals, usable only ten times–of course, this one was for teaching purposes, so you could learn how to use it.

Dong Zenghong expressed his thanks with a smile, this item was also very important to him.

Again, he was a man of strategy and not short of money; he wouldn’t carelessly use such resources to make a profit.

Then he accepted it with an indifferent expression and began to learn.

After learning, Dong Zenghong took a new Storage Talisman, placed five Spirit Stones on the coffee table, and went outside.

Before long, he returned carrying a big and small heap of things, all properly packaged, showing that he had already planned on how to use the Storage Talisman.

With a wave of his hand, he packed all the items away and looked towards Feng Jun with a smile, “These Storage Talismans meant for mortals, how many are outside Luohua Manor?”

“Two,” Feng Jun did not conceal this fact, “One for you, one for Tang Wenji–of course, if she lends it to Tang Wangsun, I wouldn’t object.”

Dong Zenghong nodded silently, and finally remarked, “Such a valuable tool, especially one that mortals can use, really shouldn’t appear in excess.”

Feng Jun couldn’t help but shake his head in mixed emotions, “Enough, I know you’re clever… To tell you the truth, if it weren’t for the inexplicable involvement with your family’s Destiny Plate, you would never have seen such a Talisman in your lifetime.”

In fact, he understood clearly that Dong Zenghong’s words were not just advice, but also an indirect declaration: Rest assured, this item is so precious, I will certainly use it wisely!

In Dong Zenghong’s heart, he also sighed inwardly, speaking with a clever person is indeed effortless, but he couldn’t resist asking, “In the future, when entering and exiting the small world… Danxia Heaven Secret Land, would this item be able to transport materials, should Danxia Heaven get two as well?”

“No need,” Feng Jun shook his head, “My Luohua people won’t be absent, so we’ll handle it ourselves. By the way, if you can enter the Nourishing Qi Phase, I will take back this Storage Talisman but can give you one that is usable thirty times.”

Dong Zenghong’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking it seems I really must start cultivating, right?

Among Storage Talismans with limited uses, who would use one with only ten uses when there were ones with thirty?

Moreover, Storage Talismans that could only be used by those in the Nourishing Qi Phase might be fewer in number, but relatively speaking, it would be safer for him, not having to worry about others coveting it.

So he nodded, “Thank you, Master, actually this time… both of us are victims of unwarranted disaster.”

“Well, if there’s nothing else, I should be going,” Feng Jun added, setting down a Jade box and pointing at the Spirit Gathering Array that was absorbing Spiritual Energy, “This trial piece of Spirit Stone, I’ll give it to you as well… Remember, you have to keep Spirit Stones in a Jade box to ensure that the Spiritual Energy doesn’t leak out.”

After finishing his words, he turned and left. Dong Zenghong hurriedly stood up, “Master, won’t you have a bite before you go?”

“No need,” Feng Jun replied without turning back, “I have a series of matters to arrange, it’s a period of Great Prosperity for the Daoist Sects, and Zenghong, you too should make good use of the time.”
