Chapter 2624: Chapter 2616: An Accident

Admiration! Upon hearing this, Feng Jun almost wanted to give a thumbs-up: This is what true might is!

He was not unfamiliar with this theory. In fact, the Earth Realm also had such a notion, given that even arsenic could cure diseases.

What he admired was the research spirit and confidence of the Spirit Plant Path, daring to use such seemingly dangerous organisms boldly in experiments.

However, he couldn’t help but mumble a few words, "I fully support the Fairy’s idea, but I must stress: Be sure to take protective measures, or I would be hard-pressed to absolve myself of any blame."

Yu Qingzhu was slightly stunned, then laughed, "Rest assured, we are very experienced in dealing with similar organisms. This one’s expansion ability is actually very average. I sensed that they might survive for a long time even in an Absolutely Spirit state..."

"This trait is very suitable for dealing with certain illnesses in spirit plants. We’ve previously searched for similar organisms in Absolutely Spirit areas and attempted to cultivate them, but it was never entirely satisfactory. I hope that this time, we can cultivate a few suitable variants."

Well, you’re impressive. Feng Jun was utterly speechless. He never expected that the research on Spirit Plant Path would be so crazy as well.

Just then, Liu Yiyi came to report that Master Xiaomeng from the Crimson Phoenix Sect sought an audience, and it was under the order of her sect.

Master Xiaomeng had a decent relationship with Feng Jun. However, currently, Mountain Master Feng was already at the fifth layer of the Golden Core stage, while Xiaomeng was still at the fourth layer. The status of the two had shifted, so she rarely called upon him voluntarily.

Feng Jun, however, didn’t put on any airs, and stepped out to greet her. Only after inquiring did he find out that another True Sage from Jinwu had emerged, and thus, You Xuan True Sage also wished to visit the Insect World.

However, unlike True Sages like Luan Xiong, You Xuan True Sage’s application had already been approved by the Xuanhuang and Yuangang sects. He just didn’t want to enter through the passageway and hoped Feng Jun could take him directly to the Third Battlefield.

Besides You Xuan True Sage, there was also a group of True Immortals and Golden Core Masters from Jinwu who wished to enter the Insect World simultaneously.

Feng Jun was a bit displeased upon hearing this, "I’m not even familiar with him to need me so conveniently?"

"You Xuan True Sage said that he wouldn’t let a fellow Daoist’s help go unrewarded," Master Xiaomeng could only smile bitterly, "The key is that reportedly the Third Battlefield is a bit tense, and he also wants to swiftly aid the Jinwu subordinates."

Feng Jun wrinkled his brow slightly, but thinking that the magic treasure he recently refined required the Fire Embryo, and he might need it in large quantities in the future, he nodded, "Let him bring them to wait for me at the Blazing Flame Plate."

He wouldn’t foolishly go to the passageway to meet up. Once there, the cultivators he transported would no longer be just the Jinwu subordinates.

Master Xiaomeng nodded slightly, "Great Sage You Xuan has already considered this. They’re at Blazing Flame waiting for you, fellow Daoist... everyone’s already gathered, and you can leave as soon as you get there."

With her saying that, the little bit of dissatisfaction remaining in Feng Jun’s heart vanished. A True Sage, bringing many True Immortals and coming specifically to the plate he frequents, truth be told, was giving him considerable respect.

"Then let’s go," Feng Jun stood up directly, and Yu Qingzhu followed—she was definitely going with him.

The next moment, Qian Zhong also appeared before him with a sway of the body, "Take me along for a look."

Feng Jun reached the Blazing Flame Plate only to find that waiting for him there were not just the Jinwu cultivators, but also those of Taixu and Green Lotus sects. Even Xuanhuang and Yuangang sects sent some Golden Core Masters along, totaling as many as six hundred people.

Feng Jun found out that these were cultivators with tickets in hand. However, traveling to the front line by flying was extremely cumbersome, so they hoped that Feng Jun would help transport them.

But these people also knew that it wasn’t easy to mobilize Feng Jun, and nobody dared to force the issue, so they collectively decided to trouble You Xuan True Sage to step in—who wouldn’t, given Feng Jun’s good standing with the Jinwu sect?

You Xuan True Sage wasn’t clear about Feng Jun’s opinion of him, but he was certain that the one who went with Han Hai True Sage to force Ouyang Beishan to death at Wanhuan Sect was him, and despite Wan Qing being a Jinwu subordinate, he considered it standing up for Feng Jun, right?

Feng Jun didn’t bother about his thoughts. Since there were as many as six hundred people waiting at the Blazing Flame Plate, it was a sign of respect for him, so he transported them to the Third Battlefield in three trips.

Having arrived, he also took Yu Qingzhu and Qian Zhong to the First Battlefield for a look, only to find it increasingly chaotic there. However, the morale on Xingzheng Star wasn’t low—recent supplies had boosted everyone’s spirits.

More importantly, the Federation concluded that the Insect Race might already be a Strong Crossbow at the end.

Feng Jun stayed on the planet for two days, unexpectedly reconnecting with Chen Jiu and Xuan Gao, then inquiring about the production line progress.

Both of them stated they’ve been in contact, but truly getting it in hand would take some time.

Meanwhile, Xuanhuang’s Xiaotong True Sage also noticed Qian Zhong wandering everywhere.

Qian Zhong cloaked her aura well, but with Xiaotong replacing the Old Fisherman in holding the frontline, his worries were many. It wasn’t long before he noticed her anomaly—which Nascent Soul Initial Stage dared to wander so freely? Whose guts had she borrowed?

After some observation, he was shocked to realize: This person’s background is unreadable to me!

Just as he was about to perform a divination, he received a warning from the ether: Divining this person may lead to trouble.

Thus, he had no choice but to intercept this female cultivator: What’s your name, and where are you from?

Qian Zhong answered without hesitation: I was brought by Mountain Master Feng, it’s not your place to question me!

Xiao Tong saw her speak this way even to the True Sage, and understood somewhat, so he didn’t react but instead asked Yi Jue: The cultivation companion who came with you, what’s his background?

Yi Jue naturally wouldn’t casually leak any secrets, so he simply said the senior’s origins are not convenient for me to disclose.

Xiao Tong True Sage understood completely that anyone referred to as a senior by Yi Jue, who is at the Nascent Soul Peak, absolutely wouldn’t be Nascent Soul Middle Phase—at the very least, they must be Nascent Soul High Stage to have such qualification.

Thus, the cultivation level of Qian Zhong should be above the Emergence Stage, and since the other party isn’t using a True Baby, that means... at least a Divine Spirit period avatar, as for Fusion Stage, he dared not even think.

Realizing this, Xiao Tong no longer tangled over the other’s cultivation level but asked, is this senior also staying in the Insect World?

Sure enough, Yi Jue did not correct the term "senior" used by the True Sage in error, but conveyed that Senior Qian Zhong came with Mountain Master Feng to observe the commotion, and should leave with us when we return.

Xiao Tong, upon receiving this news, didn’t ask further but remarked that staying a few more days wouldn’t hurt.

Divine Spirit period is almost the top-level combat strength Tianqin can produce, as for Fusion stage... even with dimensional invasion, it’s uncertain if one or two could appear.

And Qian Zhong did not hesitate to wander around, occasionally suppressing Nascent Soul insect races, though she chose Nascent Soul Initial Stage, avoiding Nascent Soul Middle Phase and High Stage rather low-key.

A few days later, she approached Feng Jun, expressing her desire to visit the Big Planet to see the mining.

Feng Jun also thought to stay a couple more days, hoping for news of the production line, but unexpectedly, not even ten minutes after he took Qian Zhong and Yi Jue to the Big Planet, his expression changed, "No, there’s an incident at White Pebble Beach."

Yi Jue was startled, "What’s the matter?"

"I don’t know," Feng Jun shook his head, he only knew his Essence Blood Protection Talisman was activated, "I must return."

As soon as the words were out, Xiao Tong, who had already disappeared, blinked back to his side, "Let’s go together, I’m curious to see who dares to continue the chaos at White Pebble Beach."

Then she made a few hand gestures, "Should be... a scare without danger..."

Before the words were finished, the trio disappeared from the Insect World.

Feng Jun chose the footprints in Mingsha Fang Market, upon arriving, Yi Jue also calculated, "The problem shouldn’t be too big."

Since that was the case, Feng Jun adjusted the footprints, taking the two back to White Pebble Beach at speed.

As soon as they appeared, Mei Yeyu was the first to react and immediately reported, "It was Zhang Caixin who alerted us."

Zhang Caixin, whose perception was slightly less sensitive, arrived a step late but candidly stated, "Yu Qingzhu seems to have encountered a problem."

Yu Qingzhu was combating the threshold of the Outdust period and was working within Feng Jun’s manor—the spiritual energy there was adequate for cultivation, no need to use the public grotto.

Feng Jun blinked right to Yu Qingzhu’s secluded place, deduced a little, and couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, "This really is... Heaven doesn’t want you to advance."

Yu Qingzhu’s seclusion had actually been smooth all along, with recent accumulation and compression of spiritual energy, soon reaching the critical point, given her profound yin physique, breaking through the Outdust threshold should have been easy.

Feng Jun had timed it, expecting her to break through in five to six days, planning to protect her two days later.

Unexpectedly, today in the public grotto, a cultivator at the Outdust Peak, benefiting from the collective aura, successfully formed a core and ushered in a tribulation.

The public grotto is rented by Feng Jun to outsiders, the successful core-forming one belongs to the Dantai clan, with several others in nearby grottos also attempting core formation at the Outdust Peak, supposedly the design prevents mutual interference between grottos, much less interference with the manor.

However, tragically, just when this cultivator faced the last tribulation thunder, a refiner from Xuanshui Sect happened to finish crafting a component, the crafting failed with an explosive blast.

The refining location being far from both the manor and grottos, but unfortunately, the tribulation thunder and explosive blast induced some energetic resonance—somewhat akin to resonance, and amplified.

Others weren’t particularly affected by this resonance, but Yu Qingzhu, at a critical juncture, was disturbed by it, and suddenly her breath went awry.

Feng Jun sighed helplessly, in the public grotto, adjacent Outdust Peaks weren’t affected by this energy resonance, but conveniently in the manor, Yu Qingzhu suffered collateral damage—where can one complain about this?

He then calculated again, shook his head in frustration, "This virtual combat system... really needs to be developed quickly."
