Chapter 2667: Chapter 2659: Someone’s Getting Anxious

Actually, Zhang Caixin knows about the existence of the Mirror Spirit, but Feng Jun has always prevented them from interacting, so she just pretends not to know.

This time, the Mirror Spirit took the initiative to communicate, and Zhang Caixin did not shy away. The aura of the other party was indeed terrifying, but she was very clear about who she was aligned with, "I can’t take you directly over there, I need to ask the boss first."

Interestingly, the Mirror Spirit wasn’t really interested in forcing her—it has its own pride after all, confronting the other party’s boss is justified, but bullying these minor cultivators doesn’t feel very fulfilling.

So it stated, "Tell him I’m very anxious, the resources are running low."

The Guardian watched coldly from high above the distant Alxa League, without any reaction.

Zhang Caixin went to the opposite side and quickly returned, her expression a bit peculiar, "He said he’s advancing in stages and currently cannot pay attention."

"That’s too much!" the Mirror Spirit was furious upon hearing this, "Advancing a stage takes at least a few months; how can I withstand for that long?"

At this moment, it was truly anxious. In its understanding, advancing from the Fifth Layer Golden Core to the Sixth is just a minor step, but without a few months, it’s absolutely impossible. If encountering a bottleneck, it could take years.

Its current consumption of extremely refined spirits is actually maintained at a relatively low standard—even though it’s urging Feng Jun very urgently, having a long lifespan, it certainly knows to reserve resources for unexpected events.

However, even with reduced consumption, it’s barely sustainable for a few months, and if any unforeseen incidents arise, that would be disastrous.

Although even the worst outcome is better than when it met Feng Jun, much of the initial investment could be wasted, who wouldn’t feel distressed?

Zhang Caixin doesn’t quite understand how the boss and the Mirror Spirit communicate, but she vaguely feels that things aren’t particularly harmonious between them, so after thinking it over she says, "Maybe it won’t take that long, the boss advances rather quickly."

"I know he advances quickly," the Mirror Spirit became more agitated; it doesn’t know Feng Jun is practicing the Devouring Primordial Heaven Technique, but being under fifty and at the Fifth Layer Golden Core, the advancement isn’t slow, "Tell him to send me more resources right away, or face the consequences!"

Even though it’s grumpy, when it needs to be cautious, it’s still pretty cautious. Even when facing Luohua’s number two figure, it didn’t mention "extremely refined spirits"—to be fair, this term is extremely sensitive in the Cultivation World.

"Calm down," the Guardian found it hard to watch and initiated divine sense communication, "What consequences do you want him to face?"

Originally a bit stronger than the mirror spirit of the Yin-Yang Mirror, and currently fighting on Earth Realm’s home turf, if it weren’t for past camaraderie, who would dare threaten its benefactor? It would outright wipe them out.

When it emerged, the Mirror Spirit calmed significantly—this one indeed has enough qualification and reason to deal with itself.

Yet it felt wronged, "Old friend, you know my situation as well. If I have to last a few months, real issues might arise... can’t you lend me some extremely refined spirits at that time?"

"Borrow extremely refined spirits from me... You wish!" The Guardian actually has reserves of emergency extremely refined spirits—thanks to unbearable memories from the past, however, its relationship with the Mirror Spirit isn’t particularly deep; why lend extremely refined spirits?

If something happens to Feng Jun, who knows how many years it’ll have to continue holding on before the next person capable of providing spirit stones shows up.

Precisely because of this understanding, it doesn’t allow the Mirror Spirit to press Feng Jun, "Cooperate honestly with him, I have no objections, but I won’t tolerate posturing."

The Mirror Spirit couldn’t help but become agitated again, "But what if the previous efforts become futile? Will you compensate for the loss?"

"If he doesn’t return, who will I go to for compensation?" The Guardian wasn’t angry, it’s usually quite composed, "So don’t worry about these things; just wait for news patiently."

"How could he not return? He has your Defense Talisman on him," the Mirror Spirit felt a bit of an impending collapse, "If he returns months late, my losses would be huge."

"What’s wrong with your brain? A Defense Talisman can help him resist harm; can it help him avoid mishaps during advancement?" The Guardian felt a bit helpless, "Stop insisting; I’m just as worried as you are."

The Mirror Spirit was speechless upon hearing this, took a while to ask, "What Cultivation Technique is he practicing?"

"You only now thought to ask this?" The Guardian ridiculed it before answering, "Devouring Primordial Heaven Technique, advancement is fast."

"Wow, it’s that technique," the Mirror Spirit felt reassured upon hearing this; the Devouring Primordial Heaven Technique’s advancement is indeed quick, unreasonable at times in its pace. Then it got worried again, "Wait, does this technique have a Golden Core Stage?"

"He developed it himself, it’s at the Fifth Layer Golden Core now," the Guardian was slightly impatient, "Anything you want to know, ask him yourself, why keep asking me?"

"Devouring Primordial Heaven Technique... This must mean having a family with resources, right?" The Mirror Spirit couldn’t help but mutter; it had absorbed quite a bit of Earth knowledge after staying in Earth Realm, anyway, nobody can stop it from learning, "And also having the courage to develop on their own."

At this moment, it felt somewhat impressed by Feng Jun.

At this moment, Zhang Caixin returned with a message, "The boss asked me to ask the senior, what responsibility do you plan to let him bear?"

"Tsk," Jing Ling fell silent for a moment before saying, "I really lack resources and hope to refine the next set of Magical Treasures as soon as possible."

"The boss said, the next set of Magical Treasures is a favor, no resources are needed," Zhang Caixin answered with a bit of reluctance. To be honest, facing such a terrifying aura put a lot of pressure on her.

"Are you kidding me!" Jing Ling had just calmed down a bit but then erupted once more, "Do they want me to die?"

"There are already several sets of Magical Treasure components over there," Zhang Caixin’s teeth chattered a bit. She couldn’t help it; the sudden burst of aura from the other side was unbearable for her. "The boss said he hopes the senior will comply with the arrangements."

"Fine," Jing Ling couldn’t help but feel deflated again. Looking at the trembling young girl, it felt a bit like bullying, so it sighed and its mood softened, "Your boss, why did they think of practicing the Devouring Primordial Heaven Technique..."

Feng Jun wasn’t in closed cultivation at the moment. Essentially, he just wanted to let Jing Ling stew for a while because he believed that the Guardian was on his side—he had to seriously put Jing Ling through some paces, so his meticulously planned rhythm wouldn’t be disrupted.

Recently, he had been splitting profits with the Yin Spirit Bigwig. The secrets of the White Qi Realm had indeed been leaked a lot. Although the Soul Devouring Treasure Seeking Snake couldn’t break the secret defenses, it could still absorb a lot of Spiritual Energy and benefits through the defensive barrier.

It’s just that the Top-Grade Spirit Stones were well-hidden, with none of them left, and the Soul Exit Pills weren’t needed by the Soul Body. The remaining Heaven and Earth Treasures also saw a significant loss of Spiritual Energy. The bigwig, although typically very bold, couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.

"The other secret treasures must be collected as soon as possible," it changed its mind, "even the rules of the Soul Exit Talisman Treasure can be absorbed...that’s just unreasonable."

The secret cache contained a "Soul Arrest" Soul Exit Talisman Treasure, which the bigwig planned to use to counter the threat of soul bodies—whether they were soul bodies split from oneself or attacks from external soul bodies. But with the rules absorbed, the remaining empty Talisman Treasure was of no use.

It was the existence of the empty Talisman Treasure that reminded it of such a treasure in the secret cache, and it wasn’t even sure how many other treasures had completely vanished.

In any case, it was extremely distressed, "These Soul Liquids...just give them all to me, as a bit of compensation."

"Leave some, they’re not that useful for you," Feng Jun negotiated with it, "They’re enough to buy off others if needed, and I’ll keep some in reserve."

Sometimes the bigwig was very agreeable, and indeed, these Soul Liquids weren’t particularly significant, "Keeping some is fine, but what do we need to bribe others for? Do we need to care about their opinions?"

The bigwig, you’re definitely getting a bit cocky! Feng Jun asked it, "Do you have secret treasures in every minor realm?"

"Not in every single one, right?" The bigwig tried to recall, "Some minor realms probably don’t have secret treasures."

Truly quite bold, Feng Jun was a bit speechless, "Then when we go to the minor realms with secret treasures, we’ll have to deal with the local natives, right?"

"Why deal with them?" The bigwig very straightforwardly retorted, "You have two True Sovereigns with you, what’s there to be afraid of?"

"That’s not how things are done," Feng Jun patiently explained, "Using force is always the lowest option. If we can reach our goal without using the power of the two True Sovereigns...we might not even need their company."

The bigwig understood, "That way, we can skip a mission count, right?"

But immediately, it faltered again, "But I don’t have confidence in the secret treasures anymore. Without the True Sovereigns accompanying, I feel insecure."

Feng Jun shook his head with a smile, "See, you won’t admit it...never mind, the time is about right, I should advance to the next stage."

This time, he was advancing at the two-year mark. After resting for a few days, his body and mind were in their best state, and after greeting Yi Jue, he went into closed cultivation right in the manor.

On the first day of the closed cultivation, Xuanyuan Buqi and Qian Zhong didn’t react much, but on the second day, when Feng Jun hadn’t emerged, and they noticed Yi Jue’s Divine Sense spread out while he sat quietly in the manor, they realized something had happened.

So the two True Sovereigns came to visit and learned that Mountain Master Feng was indeed in closed cultivation to break through.

Regarding Feng Jun’s breakthrough speed, the two True Sovereigns had already become numb. They complained about how Mountain Master Feng advanced just like that without notifying them, then stood guard outside the manor for him.

While standing guard, the two chatted leisurely.

Xuanyuan Buqi was a bit puzzled, "Friend Qian Zhong, the Devouring Primordial Heaven Technique... is it really that wicked?"

Qian Zhong remained indifferent, "I don’t know. The speed is indeed fast, but the consumption is huge, and concerning resource alignment, it’s not suitable for promotion within a clan."

Xuanyuan Buqi’s eyes turned, "Worried about uneven resource distribution within the clan? But...why do I feel an urge to try it myself?"
