Chapter 2669: Chapter 2661: Jing Ling Becomes Zen

Feng Jun had countless complaints in his heart, but ultimately, they only turned into a soft sigh: The end of the Dharma Plane.

Clearly, he could never agree to Jing Ling’s request—the grade of Soul Liquid was a bit low and it would be a waste to use it on him.

Moreover, he didn’t want to indulge the other’s bad habit, "What I need to do is within other lower realms, can you follow along?"

Jing Ling froze, now he had a little understanding of Tianqin, at least knowing Kunhao was just a lower realm, and for the Tianqin Main Plane, there were many such lower realms.

Going to other lower realms to do things... it’s true his temper is bad, but he still has some self-awareness—going to other lower realms would be useless.

However, he still expressed, "I’ll borrow it first, just like any other resources, count it as interest, once I’m restored, other lower realms... haha, can I still not enter as I please?"

"There’s a fact I think it’s necessary to let senior understand," Feng Jun spoke earnestly, he decided to seriously explain this issue, "Even before I met you, I was doing quite well in Tianqin, earning some extreme spirit for the Guardians as well..."

"Later I met you, and I’m willing to help you, but it doesn’t mean that apart from crafting Magical Treasures, I have no other ventures. In fact, I don’t really make money from crafting them, I’m not that interested in the work either, yet I’m still doing it."

"Now, I want to do a bit of my own business, earn some cultivation resources for myself, yet you want to block me, let me spend my capital on you, everything revolves around you... I’m really curious, why do you have this confidence?"

"Since meeting you till now, everything I’ve done absolutely justifies you, yet you’re only concerned about yourself, still wanting to impede my progress, I am genuinely puzzled... Do I really owe you that much?"

This unprecedented outburst left Jing Ling stunned... Such anger?

Actually, it really was accustomed to being self-centered, a natural spirit in ancient artifacts, everything was just for itself, yielding might be possible when encountering stronger existences, but when facing the weak, it has always been one concept—you should serve me!

Moreover, it is a master of Yin Yang, determining life and death, accustomed to controlling life and death, acting extremely coldly, what room is there for human sentiment?

However, it had listened to Feng Jun’s complaints somewhat, so at this time when it should say, you should serve me, put your own matters aside, it really couldn’t vocalize that.

Yet, it still attempted to retain those Soul Liquids, "I won’t let you work for nothing, when crafting Magical Treasures... you can charge more for some upper spirits, I won’t want them, isn’t that enough?"

"Do I lack that bit of upper spirit?" Feng Jun laughed angrily, if not worried about the other coveting his upper spirit, he would have directly shown the revenue from taking people into the void, "I’ll reiterate: Before encountering senior, my finances were very healthy!"

Jing Ling directly became frustrated, "financially healthy" was a term it didn’t quite understand, but it could largely guess the meaning; nothing more than before it arrived, Feng Jun, with a mortal’s body, ventured alone into this plane, developing from nothing to where he is now.

As a natural spirit, it never had low-level cultivators in its eyes, nor paid much attention—merely a lower-level ecosystem after all.

But this does not mean it doesn’t know how difficult it is to progress from a mortal to a Golden Core, especially when all those resources were fought for bare-handed, and he chose an extremely resource-consuming cultivation technique.

Now, Feng Jun has established a realm in the alien plane, and has even brought out a group of apprentices, although the realm is small, and the apprentices are very weak, yet this thriving upward momentum does not need any skepticism.

Given that there are two True Sages closely revolving around Feng Jun, Jing Ling has every reason to believe that before he steps into the Divine Spirit realm, his development momentum can’t slow down—unless encountering any accident.

But accidents aren’t easily encountered, with True Sages by his side, a Guardian’s defensive amulet hanging from his neck, apart from Earth’s pulling breath, he also has very powerful escape divine skills...

Perhaps it is as an old friend said, Feng Jun’s greatest enemy is the possibility of accidentally going into deviation during cultivation.

Realizing this, Jing Ling didn’t act up any further, diligently crafting Magical Treasures.

Although for the Spirit Plant Dao crafted set of Magical Treasures at present there was no extreme spirit revenue, however, it recognized it—Feng Jun said the people owed first, might repay later, or might not repay.

Jing Ling didn’t act up, allowing it to owe Feng Jun, yet Feng Jun can’t owe it? Instead, it was somewhat pleased, even the Guardians were being owed.

As for possibly not recovering debts? It still didn’t care, although not understanding the way of business, it had at least seen others fishing, to fish effectively, isn’t it necessary to first scatter some bait?

As long as the Guardians don’t mind, it absolutely won’t say a word to ponder it, rather seeing how this young man develops.

Next was crafting Magical Treasures for Qian Zhong, earning only half of usual income, ten extreme spirits... ten is ten, at least there was revenue, better than work with no revenue.

Followed by crafting for the Wei Family, earning twenty extreme spirits this time, see, as long as not bickering, isn’t everything back to normal?

By this time, Jing Ling had basically laid down, becoming somewhat Zen.

The Wei Family needed a new group of cultivators to replace those going to the Void, so Great Sage Wei Sancai returned from the Insect World. He heard that Qian Zhong secured a Virtual Combat Magical Treasure for himself and decided to rush over to await it. As for the twenty Spirit Stones... he would definitely acknowledge it.

Strictly speaking, Feng Jun had previously set the price—fifteen Spirit Stones as standard for the magical treasure setup. However, Xuanyuan Buqi offered three premium setups, and though one was slightly delayed, it directly raised the market price. Without a premium setup, it suggested lacking family wealth.

When it comes to competition, what world is free of rivalry? Spirit Plant cultivation is a connection of Feng Jun,, so there’s no need to mention it. There’s no way he would let Yi Jue lose face; a premium setup was a certainty. As for the Yao Family and the Wei Family, who would willingly admit falling short to the Xuanyuan Family?

Ultimately, a premium setup would allow the disciples to have a comprehensive observation, facilitating targeted guidance, with the combat system fully activated. Would the disciples of the Xuanyuan Family solely be the clan members, and the disciples of the Yao Family and Wei Family not be clan members?

Thus, a premium setup was necessary. Wei Sancai complained bitterly, calling out to the heavens and the earth about the cost, but whether the pain was genuine or an act remains unknown.

The Wei Family’s magical treasure was still being crafted, but soon waves were stirred, and the Gongyang Family, following closely behind, was troubled by the subsequent interference from the Taixu Sect!

When it came to providing Spirit Stones smoothly, ignoring Yi Jue, the Xuanyuan Family, Yao Family, and Wei Family were all quite direct. The Gongyang Family, however, was tight-fisted and failed to pay fully in advance, but after seeing the Xuanyuan Family’s successful use of their magical treasure, they immediately made appropriate arrangements.

When Feng Jun was crafting for Yi Jue, the Gongyang Family pooled together fifteen Spirit Stones—later adding to make it twenty Spirit Stones.

The Taixu Sect actually responded among the sect forces the quickest, following directly after the Gongyang Family.

Similar situations usually see clan forces reacting faster than sect forces, which is quite normal. Sect dynamics involve too many diverse grudges, whereas a clan often has a decisive leader who can make unilateral decisions.

The Jinwu Sect seemingly has a better relationship with Feng Jun, but unfortunately, True Sages Ren Tu and You Xuan both went to the Insect World, and the newly emerged True Sage needed to be briefed, which caused delays.

In the end, after much deliberation, the Taixu Sect presented twenty Spirit Stones, only to find abruptly that the Gongyang Family had supplemented with eighty Spirit Stones—they wanted to purchase five sets of Virtual Combat Magical Treasures!

Is the Gongyang Family in need of a lesson? The Taixu Sect sent someone at Nascent Soul Middle Phase—most of the high-ranking members were dispatched to the Insect World. Yet, they didn’t fear the Nascent Soul High Stage of the opposition: Do you believe that the Taixu Sect could break into your clan’s secret territory?

The reason for his reaction was simple: the Gongyang Family simply could not afford one hundred Spirit Stones—they couldn’t possibly house the fund, nor did the Gongyang Family need five magical treasures.

The Gongyang Family is listed among the Three Hundred Secret Realm Families, supposedly not lacking in strength, but if compared to even a Minor Realm Family, they wouldn’t stand against the Taixu Sect.

However, the Nascent Soul High Stage cultivator of the Gongyang Family was undaunted; with the True Lord of the Xuanyuan Family stationed at White Pebble Beach, there was no chance for a fight to occur—actually, Kunhao Realm wouldn’t accommodate battles between True Immortals, he stated: the concept of first come, first served...is there anything wrong with it?

Moreover, no one said buying a surplus wasn’t allowed, didn’t they? Xuanyuan Family purchased two sets too.

Stop debating this with me! The Taixu True Immortal expressed, if your family truly needs five sets, I would accept this account, but the issue clearly wasn’t just that; dare you claim that all these purchases were made by the Gongyang Family, branded with your family’s bloodline marks?

At this time, a True Immortal from the Ji Family appeared, stating that the Gongyang Family carried two sets for my family, why not?

For one set of magical treasures, the Ji Family paid the Gongyang Family one Spirit Stone as a hardship fee. Would the Taixu Sect interfere?

The Ji Family ranks first in the current family standings, but they received the information from White Pebble Beach late, and disdained queuing. Once the Xuanyuan Family crafted its magical treasures, confirming its worth, they immediately paid others for procurement, which seemingly caused no issue.

The Taixu True Immortal would not concede, saying the Gongyang Family bought four additional sets of magical treasures, whereas the Taixu Sect could have waited, as many queued behind them. But the crux of the matter was: the Taixu Sect could not be played for a fool, not losing face.

Simply put: the harm wasn’t great, but the insult was profound.

What happens now if we can’t bear losing face? The Ji Family True Immortal acknowledged their current standing as the top family and naturally held pride—if the Ji Family didn’t contend, other clan practitioners would scorn them.

Otherwise, being first is both honor and pressure.

However, at this moment, Ji Family practitioners had some quiet complaints against the Gongyang Family, saying, carrying two sets for us was sufficient, why take on two more? Isn’t this making it difficult for the Ji Family?

The Gongyang Family practitioners felt aggrieved themselves; they never intended to be troublesome. Initially, they even declined the Ji Family’s request.

Yet, the Ji Family exerted pressure, offering one Spirit Stone as an "agency fee" for each set of magical treasures, and the Gongyang Family couldn’t possibly dismiss the honor of the family forces’ top rank, right?

Then, as news leaked, two more families approached, whose strength exceeded the Gongyang Family’s...were they able to refuse?

Clearly, it was your Ji Family disciples’ careless words that were now blamed on the Gongyang Family, as if you had the nerve to complain!
