Chapter 958 - Chapter 958 Chapter 958 Overnight Changes

Chapter 958: Chapter 958: Overnight Changes Chapter 958: Chapter 958: Overnight Changes Elder Liao truly had reasons to curse–if he knew that the Gu King candidate was a Qianjiye, he probably wouldn’t have come at all!

The Qianjiye Gu insect is quite formidable and extremely difficult to deal with.

However, for Gu Cultivators, this kind of Gu insect is utterly useless; although formidable, no one knows how to cultivate it!

If one were a mad Gu researcher, perhaps they’d joyfully collect a few of these insects for study, but that’s about it.

As for the Qianjiye being a Gu King candidate? Better wash up and go to sleep, it has no chance of growing into a Gu King!

To truly speak the truth, if it was known that the Gu King candidate here was a Qianjiye, not to mention the Liao Family Brothers, even the Snake King wouldn’t be much interested–the growth potential is simply too poor!

At this moment, the brothers probably have countless curses they want to unleash.

Had they known it was like this, even if they were already at Mount Zhige, directly visiting would have saved a lot of trouble.

Seeing their devastated expressions, Feng Jun could roughly guess the reason, and while he found slight joy in their misfortune, he couldn’t help but worry: Hua Hua doesn’t really intend to cultivate a Gu King from Qianjiye, does it?

Ten days later, the Tiantong Commerce Alliance delivered two Divine Soul Imprint Stones with servitude contracts; these stones were indeed convenient to use.

Feng Jun was also enlightened; the Divine Soul Imprint Stone was a translucent stone, somewhat resembling a piece of glass.

Following the instructions, he dripped a drop of fresh blood on the stone, used his Divine Sense to interact with it, and discovered it produced a profound sensation, as if a blank space had appeared in his sea of knowledge, or as if a foggy piece of glass had been installed.

After Feng Jun refined the imprint stone completely, Elder Liao also dropped some blood on it, and drew a crude heart-shaped pattern.

Then Elder Liao pressed the stone piece against his forehead, and Feng Jun slightly activated it, the stone piece disappearing into the other’s forehead.

After that, Feng Jun could feel various emotions and thoughts from Elder Liao through the window in his sea of knowledge; this sensing was not completely visual, simply put, it was somewhat like telepathy.

However, this telepathy was one-sided; Feng Jun could sense the other side, but the other side couldn’t sense him.

If he also pinched a spell, Feng Jun could even trace Elder Liao’s memories during a certain period, but these memories were only after the servitude contract took effect, memories beyond that were gone unless Elder Liao was willing to recall them voluntarily.

Speaking of punishment methods, Huang Fu Flawless casually explained that harboring ill intentions would cause backlash due to the servitude contract, and if Feng Jun died, Elder Liao would also perish.

Feng Jun was surprised to find that Luo Shuchen was quite familiar with this servitude contract; he stated that this thing was indeed very reliable.

Originally, this method was also used in the military for scout management; commanders could develop various strategies based on feedback from various situations, while also effectively preventing the risk of leaking information if a scout was captured.

However, once such a thing was applied, scouts would completely lack personal secrets, especially when managers were unscrupulous and would deliberately pry into others’ privacy.

Thus, this method was later replaced by other management methods, but the technique was passed down.

Because it is a mature technique, it is relatively cheap and easy to operate; however, the most difficult aspect is that the other party must willingly accept the contract.

Taking Feng Jun controlling Elder Liao as an example, if there was slight resistance in Elder Liao’s heart when placing the crystal on the forehead, the crystal would crack and fail.

Thus, this thing wouldn’t become widespread, and those who truly needed it were rare–if both parties could completely trust one another, why use this servitude contract to bind?

Elder Liao is in the Second Layer of the Detached Realm, which is a bit higher than Feng Jun’s cultivation level, but the servitude contract doesn’t entirely depend on cultivation level, as some scouts have quite high cultivation levels–they are called Kings of Soldiers in the Earth Realm.

As long as there’s not a gap of two minor levels, the contract can be established, meaning Feng Jun can even contract someone from the Intermediate Level of the Detached Realm–as long as the other party is willing to accept.

The contract for the Detached Realm costs five hundred Spirit Stones, which really isn’t expensive. Tiantong also delivered a few stones that could contract the Qi Refinement Realm, with a mere price of a hundred Spirit Stones, asking Feng Jun if he wanted.

Feng Jun thought about it and felt there was really no need to buy more; for Qi-refining cultivators, if they don’t obey, he can kill or expel them, and if they are willing to accept the servitude contract out of obedience, why should he contract them?

He didn’t have a hobby of snooping on others, and he didn’t even have an interest in prying into Elder Liao’s private thoughts, which shows the limited utility of this servitude contract.

After completing the contract, Feng Jun had no significant matters at Mount Zhige, while Hua Hua was already impatiently urging him to hurry back to Earth–it couldn’t wait to gorge itself.

Taking it back to Earth, of course, would be through Great Scenery; Sister Hong, who had been diligently cultivating, heard they would be gone for a relatively long period and expressed her intention to leave together–the characters here indeed wouldn’t disappear, but she also didn’t want to miss out on the excitement happening there.

The four… three people and one insect appeared in the Earth Realm, right at the warehouse adjacent to the villa.

Once Sister Hong came out of the Spirit Beast Bag, looking around at the surroundings, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “I’ve always wondered why your hair sometimes appears longer or shorter; I thought it was just my misperception… Now I finally understand why.”

Feng Jun worried that she might have a grudge–especially since he had taken Feng Jing to the mobile dimension, thus he spoke seriously.

“This crossing between dimensions is extremely dangerous, as you should know. I have conducted plenty of animal experiments in the past. Honestly, if it weren’t for Teacher Mei’s spatial attribute, taking you there rashly would have meant not even ten of you would suffice to avoid death.”

Sister Hong was still quite generous, “You don’t need to explain, I understand. Director Mei has explained this to me multiple times already. I’m just a bit curious, are you sure that Cai Xin will not have the spatial attribute in the future?”

Now, she no longer feels qualified to consider herself the best, but her sister, after all, could be the best.

Feng Jun shook his head. Regarding this possibility, he had speculated many times, “I think it’s… very unlikely. Cai Xin’s talents are already strong, focusing on developing her strengths is good enough. There’s no such thing as a perfect person in this world.”

However, Teacher Mei provocatively glanced at Sister Hong, “What, you think it’s uncomfortable for me to tag along?”

Confidence really can change a person. Though Director Mei was also part of the system before, whenever she encountered someone like Sister Hong from society, she would avoid conflicts and wouldn’t want to clash with her.

But now, Teacher Mei’s cultivation was steadily advancing towards the Sixth Layer of Transcendency, and importantly, she was the only one who could take everyone on dimensional travels, something even Feng Jun couldn’t manage.

In that aspect, she is irreplaceable–even Hua Hua at the Fourth Layer of Qi-refining was buttering her up.

“Hehe,” Sister Hong chuckled oddly, raised her hand to embrace her shoulder, and spoke teasingly, “Little Mei Mei, you’ve gotten a bit swollen, haven’t you? Gained quite a bit of weight, right?”

But in the next instant, her expression became serious, “I say, can we stop using the Spirit Beast Bag from now on? I really can’t stand it… to actually be squeezed in a bag with Gu Insects.”

Feng Jun shook his head and glanced at Hua Hua, “For now, this is the only way. Elder Liao has another Spirit Beast Bag, at worst we’ll separate you and the Gu Insects.”

Sister Hong raised her eyebrows, sighed helplessly, “Even separating won’t do, this feeling is just too awful.”

While the two of them chatted, Hua Hua couldn’t wait any longer, incessantly messaging Feng Jun, “Spirit Beast Bag, Spirit Beast Bag, Spirit Beast Bag…”

Feng Jun took the Spirit Beast Bag from Feng Jing’s hands and handed it over, “Eat slowly, don’t rush.”

Hua Hua grabbed the Spirit Beast Bag, flapped its wings, and flew away, as fast as an arrow leaving the bowstring.

Feng Jun glanced at them both, “Let’s go back and clean up first, thankfully there’s no one here.”

Sister Hong and Feng Jing were still dressed as they were in the mobile dimension. Fortunately, the villa was close by, and as it was a general rule to not enter this warehouse, under Feng Jun’s guidance, the trio quickly entered the rear building.

Feng Jun wore a helmet and rode a motorcycle to get a haircut. When he returned, Sister Hong and Teacher Mei, after freshening up, had also reverted to modern attire.

However, they were now the subject of curiosity. Zhang Cai Xin and Gu Jiahui suddenly discovered that both senior sisters had advanced by a level, and were utterly shocked.

Zhang Cai Xin’s intuition was quite strong; she always felt that her sister was different from yesterday–not just in cultivation level but in some other changes too, yet she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was different.

Taking another look at Feng Jing, she was somewhat startled, “Teacher Mei, are you… about to reach the Sixth Layer of Transcendency soon?”

“Still early, still early,” Teacher Mei grinned unabashedly, truly wanting to remain reserved, yet she couldn’t hold back at all, “It will take some time.”

Zhang Cai Xin blinked her big eyes, speechless, “Yesterday you were at the Fourth Layer of Transcendency, today you’re at the peak of the Fifth Layer, what exactly happened overnight?”

This advancement speed was something even Xiao Cai Xin had never experienced. She was thoroughly shaken today.

“What are you talking about?” Feng Jun came over.

Gu Jiahui started clamoring, “Brother Jun, Brother Jun…what did you do to Sister Hong and Teacher Mei? I want it too!”

“Just focus on your cultivation,” Feng Jun casually waved his hand and replied, “They went from margin to peak, isn’t that quite normal?”

Zhang Cai Xin pouted silently, thinking ‘normal, my foot.’

However, Gu Jiahui, having practiced for a shorter time, didn’t have a deep understanding and, although finding it odd, didn’t have a clear feeling about it.

Hua Hua, carrying the Spirit Beast Bag, swooshed into the Bamboo Forest, laid out the Jade boxes one by one, and fell into the happy dilemma: with so many… which one to eat first?

Previously, the Spirit Beasts it consumed, such as dry spiders, though they also aided in increasing cultivation level, didn’t quite fit the bill like Gu Insects, which enhances cultivation by devouring their kind, even consuming human essence blood mostly for survival.

Gazi and Wang Haifeng and others exchanged looks, wondering where did this creature get these hundreds of Jade boxes from?
