Chapter 941 - Chapter 941 Chapter 941 Issue of Belonging

Chapter 941: Chapter 941: Issue of Belonging Chapter 941: Chapter 941: Issue of Belonging Feng Jun chuckled, “We haven’t even discussed the cost of treating the Gu Insect, and now you’re talking about a detoxification fee, haha…”

“Didn’t discuss the cost?” Luo Shuchen repeated, surprised, his eyes wide open, “Master Busheng didn’t make an agreement with you?”

Feng Jun shook his head helplessly, now realizing that the people from Tianxin Platform truly lived up to their reputation of doing as they pleased, acting on a whim.

Luo Shuchen suddenly nodded as if understanding, he too remembered his own master’s eccentric history, “Then let’s forget about it. You can settle the cost of treating the Gu Insect with him later, I will only charge you for the detoxification cost.”

“That’s fine,” Feng Jun nodded. In his mind, Master Busheng seemed capricious, but inherently, he wasn’t someone who liked to be in debt, so Feng wasn’t afraid of him reneging on the deal–after all, the benefits brought by the Talented Scholars Plaque were enough to offset the cost.

Therefore, he put forth his conditions, “Four Gu Insects must be left to me. I want five portions each of the Dispersion Medicament and the Inducing Medicament.”

Luo Shuchen shook his head, flatly refusing, “Medicaments are easy to talk about, even more doesn’t matter, but four Gu Insects–you can only keep one larvae, at most two, no more… Tianxin Platform has put so much effort into this, we need to continue our research.”

Tianxin Platform did not possess much information on Gu Cultivators, but as a major inheritance power, the more information they held, the better. They had already invested a lot in the Qianji Yuyu and certainly did not wish to give up their hard work in the end.

Allowing two larvae for Feng Jun showed their sincerity.

But Feng Jun couldn’t agree, “The mother insect must be mine, the larvae… I can let you have one.”

The key was that Hua Hua had long set its sights on that mother insect. Feng wanted to see it dancing happily in Luohua Manor, he had already made up his mind, determined not to disappoint it.

Luo Shuchen couldn’t afford to play hardball, he had to patiently explain, “Tianxin Platform’s research on Gu Insects is limited, and Qianji Yuyu is nearly extinct. We’ve been researching for so long, it’s difficult to justify not keeping the mother insect… even its corpse will do.”

Feng Jun decisively made his decision, “Then you just say that it was Master Busheng who agreed with me.”

Luo Shuchen’s face crumpled, this did not align with his character of being ‘generous’, but he really had no other choice, “You clearly said that there was no such agreement with Master Busheng.”

With a faint smile, Feng Jun retorted, “Then I can break other agreements with Master Busheng.”

“Other agreements?” Luo Shuchen thought for a moment and asked, “There are others?”

“Like ‘Yearning Enters Dreams’,” Feng Jun took out a cigarette and lit it, “I was planning to give him two jin after I brewed it.”

Luo Shuchen couldn’t stand it any longer, he immediately pointed out Feng’s crafty merchant face, “The recipe for ‘Yearning Enters Dreams’ was given to you by Master Busheng, isn’t it right to give him some of the wine you make?”

“Couldn’t help it, could you?” Feng Jun grinned at him, “Weren’t you the one who said there wasn’t much contact with Master Busheng?”

“There wasn’t much to begin with,” Luo Shuchen was so angry he was smoking from his seven orifices, “Many people know some of the news about the ‘Yearning Resurgence’.”

“Then let’s not talk about the ‘Yearning Resurgence’ news,” Feng Jun nodded with a smile. Indeed, the news of ‘Yearning Resurgence’ had slowly spread, but he had already announced that the auction would be handled by the Tiantong Commercial Alliance.

It was a very shrewd move, as most of those currently interested in ‘Yearning Resurgence’ would no longer consider forcibly taking it from the owner–after all, if you did that, how would Tiantong sell it without coming after you?

So Feng Jun conveyed another truth, “The recipe for ‘Yearning Enters Dreams’ was indeed provided to me by Master Busheng, and I am grateful to him, but gratitude is enough, why must I give him ‘Yearning Enters Dreams’ wine?”

“Without the recipe, where does the wine come from?” Luo Shuchen responded dismissively, but in the midst of his response, he realized the problem, thus stopping abruptly.

However, Feng Jun, having the upper hand, continued, nodding with a smile, “Exactly, without the recipe, where does the wine come from? Without my treatment of the Gu poison, where does the mother insect come from? What you would get is nothing more than a corpse!”

Luo Shuchen fell silent upon hearing this; why? Feng’s reasoning was sound.

Fundamentally, unless previously agreed upon, a physician is entitled to remove the lesion, which aids their research and better benefits others.

This principle is even recognized in the legally focused Earth Realm.

Even something like the placenta from a fetus, for a long time, Huaxia Country would not give it to the owner, but would take it for use in traditional medicine, and the owner would have to find a way if they wanted to retrieve the placenta.

He was silent for a while and finally sighed, “This is difficult for me, I need to discuss this with the platform…”

Actually, he had the authority to decide on this matter, even if the other party was a highly skilled physician, but he was a being beyond the material world, naturally carrying the dignity of such beings.

However, not only did the other party possess an extremely high level of medical skills, but he was also a cultivator at the Detachment Stage, which left Luo Shuchen unable to assume the stance of a superior.

Therefore, as important as superb medical skills are, one must not neglect one’s own cultivation level–a famous doctor without the ability to protect oneself always has some weaknesses after all.

Feng Jun, smiling, persuaded him, “You needn’t feel regretful. I might be able to give you some more child Gu.”

“More of them?” Luo Shuchen asked in surprise, and then a possibility crossed his mind, making his eyes light up, “You mean those Gu eggs?”

Indeed, what Feng Jun wanted to bring up were just that. There were nearly a hundred Gu eggs within Liang Huan’s body, and extracting them presented a challenge; random surgery was not an option.

He had asked Hua Hua, and Hua Hua was very certain that it could help induce the growth of the Gu eggs, accelerate their hatching, and even lure them out of the body–combined with Dispersion Medicaments and induction drugs, it could lure the newborn Gu insects to the surface of the skin, making them easier to handle.

Yet it could not guarantee to completely deal with so many small Gu insects in one go, so it hoped to hatch the Gu eggs in batches, controlling around ten each time, roughly repeating the process about ten times. That way, all the Gu eggs inside Liang Huan’s body could be thoroughly eliminated.

As for Liang Huan enduring nearly a hundred cuts? No one cared about that–you’re already incredibly lucky to be alive. You must realize that no Qi-Refining Disciple has ever received such protection from a Golden Core Master.

With the shelter of a Golden Core Master, without coming across a physician like Feng Jun, Liang Huan wouldn’t have escaped death.

Thus, the fact that he could hang on until there was a method of treatment was luckier than lucky. As for the suffering and hardship of the treatment process, none of that mattered.

Luo Shuchen did not harbor the slightest displeasure. What he was curious about was, “To induce the growth of Thousand-Mechanism Shade Gu insects is an ancient Demon Cultivators’ method. How do you hatch the Gu eggs?”

Feng Jun, following Hua Hua’s instructions, disdainfully expressed, “We don’t understand the world of Gu insects, and right now the Gu eggs are in the parasitic stage; there’s no need for a Demon Cultivator to be involved.”

Luo Shuchen pondered briefly and then nodded decisively, “Very well. Master Feng, since you say so, I’ll report it just like that. However, once the Gu eggs hatch into Gu insects, we from the Heavenly Heart Platform must take a bit more!”

Feng Jun laughed and shook his head, “Let’s split it evenly. I’ll help draw out the Gu insects. Four of the Gu insects are rightfully mine; I’ll give you two child Gu, plus half of the small Gu insects. Neither of us loses out… After all, we still have to aid in hatching them.”

He spoke thusly, but Feng Jun did not halt the treatment of Liang Huan simply because the negotiations hadn’t concluded. On the third morning, the first batch of ten small Gu insects had already hatched.

Then came the dual application of induction drugs and Dispersion Medicaments, plus Hua Hua’s saliva. These freshly hatched small Gu insects–having never encountered such a spectacle–were directly fooled, as if without a clue.

After reaping the first batch of small Gu insects, the Heavenly Heart Platform’s response only came belatedly.

Master Busheng himself had spoken, stating that if the circumstances forbade it, strategic surrender of the mother Gu was permissible, but there must be a greater effort to argue for quotas of child Gu and small Gu insects.

To the Heavenly Heart Platform, obtaining the mother Gu was indeed crucial, but their steadfast aim was ultimately to research the mechanisms related to the Thousand-Mechanism Shade Gu insects, and enrich the Heavenly Heart Platform’s database while gaining more practical experience.

Thus, a few dozen small Gu insects presented a significant temptation to the Heavenly Heart Platform. Their desire for the mother Gu was nothing more than a wish to understand all aspects of its growth phases.

The research value of the mother Gu was high, but not irreplaceable. At least its cultivation level was quite common, to the point one might describe it as trash–what does the Qi Refining Initial Stage amount to at the Heavenly Heart Platform?

While the small Gu insects weren’t highly cultivated, their advantage lay in numbers, which allowed for experiments in numerous areas, and in that respect, their value was no less than that of the mother Gu–in some aspects, even more so.

The current situation was such that it was impossible to have both, and insisting on getting the mother Gu would surely incur Feng Jun’s discontent. Then, there would be no more talk of acquiring small Gu insects–it wasn’t difficult to come to this concluding judgment as long as one was of average intelligence.

Therefore, what Master Busheng requested was to maximize the quotas of child Gu and small Gu insects–if Feng Jun got angry, everyone would lose out on the game, a potential loss that was not worth the risk, and it might offend someone as well.

However, Master Busheng did have one demand–“Sweet Grief Entering Dreams, I must get a hundred catties!”

Feng Jun thought that giving thirty catties to the other party was already the limit.

He did not mention that the potion recipe he received was only rudimentary nor the hardships he endured while attempting the recipe–it was unnecessary, after all. Speaking to someone who was aware, if they couldn’t figure out this much, then they were simply playing dumb.

Explaining to someone pretending to be dumb would yield no results–no one can awake a person who is feigning sleep.

All he did was state that he could only give half a scoop of wines, and the small Gu insects must be split evenly.

Luo Shuchen bargained over the quotas for two days, and in the end, had no choice but to fully accept Feng Jun’s demands.

What he could take comfort in was: at least I managed to argue for over twenty more catties of Sweet Grief Entering Dreams for Master Busheng–after all, Feng Jun had initially only planned to give two catties.
