Big Data Cultivation
Chapter 936 - Chapter 936 936

Chapter 936: 936 Chapter 936: 936 Wanfu Platform regarded their Auspicious Beast Mystic Turtle as extremely important.

However, Master Busheng of the Tianxin Platform believed his registered disciple was more important and would not easily ask Feng Jun to take action.

Of course, the truth was that Wanfu Platform really had no other choice. In their desperation, they turned to Feng Jun.

In short, if the Auspicious Beast Mystic Turtle had not shown any improvement, Master Busheng would not have made the decision to seek out Feng Jun.

In fact, even though they knew of Feng Jun’s exceptional medical skills, the person who came to negotiate was still an ethereal ascetic.

After Luo Shuchen explained all of this, Feng Jun frowned and pondered, “A Gu Insect cultivated with Ancient Demonic Cultivation?”

Luo Shuchen seemed to have considerable confidence in him, so he answered quite directly, “This is deduced, not necessarily accurate.”

Feng Jun was prepared for such situations–after all, a Golden Core Master once asked him if he could cure Gu poison.

He knew nothing about Gu Art; even in the Cultivation World, Gu Art was an extremely secretive inheritance, somewhat akin to the practices of evil cultivators.

There were no related books in the Fang Market–there were some books on removing Gu Art, but absolutely none on practicing it.

It was said that a thousand years ago, a small town had a Cultivation Technique on practicing Gu Art emerge, and then everyone in the town died.

The person behind it was a Gu Cultivator, merely at intermediate level among ascetics, yet he managed to kill more than one cultivator of the same rank.

He faced the pursuing Golden Core Masters with equanimity, self-detonated, and left a message behind–“The Gu Cultivator’s legacy must not be bought or sold.”

This was all Feng Jun knew about Gu Art, but fortunately, he had one at home.

After returning to the Earth Plane, he had talked to Hua Hua about this, but he did not mention other planes–strictly speaking, Hua Hua had a human level of intelligence, and it was not necessary to say so much if not needed.

Hua Hua was not interested in this matter, “You don’t know, when I went with you to Weiyu Mountain and Chaoyang, I’ve checked the Gu Insects of Miaojiang many times already. I’m not targeting anyone; I’m just very disappointed… not a single one worth fighting.”

As for Gu poison, it expressed that there was absolutely no problem, in fact, it was now considering something–could it possibly crown itself as the Gu God?

Feng Jun scoffed at this, “Gu God? You’re far from it. Abroad there’s a Money Gu named Buffett, and people say he’s the real Gu God. There are also Gu Kings like Peter Lynch, quite remarkable as well.”

Of course, Hua Hua would express disagreement, but this was just their daily banter, not really meaning anything.

Anyway, Feng Jun knew that Hua Hua was confident in dealing with Gu Insects. After all, it had once been a Gu Cultivator itself–after feeding Gu using its own body, it had lived for over a thousand years with human intelligence. What kind of Gu Insect couldn’t it handle?

But still, he had some doubts, “After all, it’s a Gu from the dying age plane. If it encounters suppression of rank, maybe it would be powerless.”

In short, Feng Jun had done the related work. Now hearing that Tianxin Platform truly came for this matter, he couldn’t help but feel fortunate–thank goodness the groundwork was done in advance.

Upon hearing what Luo Shuchen said, he immediately responded, “This condition can be considered, but… you must bring the patient over.”

The short-statured Luo Shuchen let out another round of hearty laughter, “Ha-ha, naturally, Master Busheng has already said, depending on the situation for diagnosis, if we don’t bring the patient, wouldn’t it be making things difficult for you?”

Then with a wave of his hand, an intermediate rank disciple from Tianxin Platform took out a Spirit Beast Bag, “Disciple Er Huan is inside.”

Feng Jun grimaced and could not help but ask, “Using a Spirit Beast Bag to hold a person?”

Actually, a Spirit Beast Bag can hold spirit beasts, it naturally can also hold people, but a cultivator trapped inside would have all six senses sealed; it’s not a pleasant experience.

The high-tier Qi Refinement disciple answered nonchalantly, “Disciple Er Huan’s situation is special, it can only be handled this way, otherwise it would be a disgrace for Tianxin Platform.”

Indeed, a named disciple of one of the Wutai and a Golden Core Master suffering from Gu poison that could not be cured was truly a laughingstock.

In earlier years, Master Busheng stood up for him merely out of the affection from their past debates, to show that Tianxin Platform was not to be trifled with. But how much did he actually treasure this disciple afflicted with Gu poison? No one could say for sure!

Luo Shuchen did not come alone; accompanying him were two Qi Refinement stage disciples, one at initial stage and the other at high tier–in case Feng Jun managed to cure the patient, they couldn’t possibly expect an ascetic of such stature to take care of a Qi Refining novice right?

The high-tier Qi Refinement disciple handed over a Spirit Beast Bag, and Luo Shuchen turned his head to look at Feng Jun.

Feng Jun pondered for a moment, then slightly shook his head, “Treating Gu poison, it’s really not convenient to do it here; let’s change the location.”

Six people left Tiantong’s courtyard and went three miles away to choose a relatively flat spot. Feng Jun raised his hand and released a Defense Array Disk, “Everyone step back… just leave Yun Shan here.”

Luo Shuchen didn’t seem surprised, he nodded with a smile, and he and two disciples flew out for seven or eight miles, forming an equilateral triangle to guard the defensive formation. Yun Buyao honestly crawled into the car.

Feng Jun let the disciple go and checked with his mobile phone, locating the presence of the Gu Insect.

This Gu Insect was called the Thousand Mechanism Shade, and there were a total of four inside this person’s body: one at the Third Level of Qi Refinement and the remaining three at the Qi Refining First Layer. There were also nearly a hundred eggs scattered throughout the body.

He carefully analyzed for a long time before summoning back the three from Tianxin Platform, “This Thousand Mechanism Shade hasn’t acted up yet. I wonder what reactions it will have when it does, and how is it different from the common Thousand Mechanism Shade after being cultivated by ancient demonic techniques?”

Of course, he could figure out the differences himself, but since the others had already pondered it for a long time, why waste time?

The question was answered by the disciple at the High Tier of Qi Refinement.

The Thousand Mechanism Shade was an extremely rare Spirit Insect on this plane and was not commonly seen. As for the shades cultivated by demon techniques, their ability to hallucinate the host and such were not what was being discussed. The real issue was the internal conflict that occurs between the Gu Insects after they become parasitic.

The Thousand Mechanism Shade within this person — the one at the Third Level of Qi Refinement is considered the mother Gu, and the three at the Qi Refining First Layer are subordinate Gus. If the victim were a Gu Cultivator, they could already release the three subordinate Gu to do harm.

Since the victim is not a Gu Cultivator, the three subordinate Gu have to endure extortion from the mother Gu; aside from absorbing the cultivator’s essence and blood for itself, the mother Gu also draws nourishment from the subordinate Gu, and between these three, there are also battles.

Raising Gu is inherently like this, with the same species fighting each other and the strongest being selected as the mother Gu.

The mother Gu controls the subordinate Gu, and once any subordinate reaches the Second Level of Qi Refinement, it will undoubtedly be killed by the mother. However, if they remain at the Qi Refining First Layer, the mother will not attack and instead absorb essence and blood through the subordinates.

As the Tianxin Platform Disciple put it, there were originally more than a dozen subordinate Gu in this person’s body, seriously depleting their essence and blood.

Later, after analysis and testing, it was deemed preferable to control the number of subordinate Gu to three. First, the essence and blood extraction would be greatly reduced, and second, it wouldn’t upset the balance between the subordinates.

As for how they eliminated subordinate Gu and controlled their number, Tianxin Platform did not reveal and Feng Jun did not ask.

In fact, this mother Gu had a major impact on Er Huan. There were twice when they almost advanced in cultivation, luckily Master Busheng intervened to suppress it.

The current problem is that just removing this mother Gu is not enough. Without its deterrence, the three subordinate Gu would immediately start battling, and the victor would quickly become the new mother Gu.

Most critically, their battlefield would be within the cultivator’s body. Once chaos ensues, collateral damage alone could lead to Er Huan’s untimely death, and this is a risk no one is willing to take.

Nevertheless, Tianxin Platform was not completely inactive — they created an attractant that led the three subordinate Gu to believe there was more abundant essence and blood nearby, thus luring the three subordinate Gu to the limbs, which at least would not be so fatal.

After fully understanding the situation, Feng Jun nodded slightly, “You take good care of this person first. I still need to consider further.”

“No trouble at all,” Luo Shuchen said with a smile, nodding, “It is necessary to be cautious.”

Watching Feng Jun drive away, the High-Rank Qi Refinement disciple huffed discontentedly, “We followed all the rules, but this superior didn’t even invite Uncle Master Shuchen inside for a sit-down. Seems a bit rude.”

Luo Shuchen just laughed it off, not taking it seriously, “These talented people always have their quirks. His eagerness to analyze the condition is not a bad thing… since Er Huan was poisoned, many capable people have been invited, but to identify the Thousand Mechanism Shade at a glance, he is only the second person to do so.”

The High-Rank Qi Refinement disciple nodded upon hearing this, “That is indeed rare. Those with skill invariably have their temperaments.”

Luo Shuchen laughed heartily again, “Of course, he is a man of ability. How could he lack skill if highly regarded by Master Busheng? What’s more interesting is that he even refused recruitment… Anyway, let’s not talk about this, let’s head to Wuyou Platform to see it, after all, we are in the same league as Wutai, and I haven’t seen Yan Daoyou for some days.”

After returning to the courtyard, Feng Jun disconnected from the mobile phone plane and went to the Bamboo Forest to find Hua Hua.

Frankly speaking, at this moment, he was somewhat relieved that he hadn’t followed Yang Yuxin to Qingcheng. Otherwise, he would have had to hurry back, especially since Hua Hua was in Luohua and is one of the strong combat forces, not commonly going out.

But then, what happened today was also one of the underlying reasons that constrained Feng Jun from leaving home.

As winter approached, Hua Hua was no longer in the Bamboo Forest most of the time, spending most of its days in the Lingzhi Formation — it wasn’t large, but powered by Spirit Stones, it had its own climate, never too hot in the height of summer or too cold in winter.

Feng Jun approached the Lingzhi Formation and saw Hua Hua digging at a plant that was three feet tall, unable to help but speak up, “This weed has grown so tall, and only now you start digging at it, so much effort… I mean, can’t you skip a couple of episodes of your drama?”

Hua Hua lifted its head, glancing at him with utter disdain, and transmitted back a thought, “Do you know why wild Natural Treasures are the best? Because competition brings pressure! I let this weed grow so tall on purpose… if you don’t understand Spirit Plants, don’t blabber nonsense.”

Feng Jun was left speechless by the retort, but he could tell there was sense in what was said.

So he had no choice but to not take it to heart and even had to ask cheerfully, “By the way, do you know about the Thousand Mechanism Shade?”
