Chapter 414: Chapter 414 This Side Has Never Been Bombed
Although Feng Jun had obtained the fire sweet potato mud, he didn’t rush back to the Earth Realm immediately. He intended to make some headway with the Contribution Point System before returning, for he felt that he might need to develop software related to the system.
It was at that moment he realized, without being consciously aware of it, that he had begun to contemplate establishing a foundation in Zhige. Otherwise, he could not explain the motivation behind his interest in the Contribution Point System—it was simply too much effort just for assigning who could skim off spiritual energy.
He possessed the detachment of an Immortal, desiring to make decisions on his own accord; who could oppose him?
A couple of days later, Chen Junsheng, Yu Changzhu, and Mi Shixiong from the Mi Family started the enormous task of conversion.
After observing their work for two days and feeling that it was on the right track, Feng Jun began to consider returning.
At that point, someone from the Tian Family delivered a letter, inscribed with “To be opened personally by Divine Doctor Feng.”
The letter was delivered by a child, whom the Tian Family had retained without daring to open the letter, instead bringing it directly to Feng Jun.
Without even looking at it, Feng Jun dismissed it with a wave of his hand. “Burn it!”
Such a thing as a letter is easy to tamper with. Feng Jun was past the age of adolescent curiosity and had no interest in the contents.
Even if the Tian Family members were willing to take the risk to open the letter on his behalf, he was not enticed.
His stance was clear: If there’s something you need to say, come tell me face to face. Since you’re being so secretive, I don’t need to know your intentions.
The Tian Family members took the letter to burn it but returned shortly with a piece of thin silk, “Divine Doctor, inside there was a piece of Fire Silkworm Silk with writing on it.”
Fire Silkworm Silk is quite resistant to fire. Feng Jun was slightly taken aback, “If it couldn’t be destroyed that way, then let’s see what it says.”
After reading it, he understood why it had been delivered so clandestinely—it turned out to be a denunciation of another’s possession of Immortal Cultivation Techniques.
Interestingly, the one who delivered the Fire Silkworm Silk was accusing the Eastern Sub-rudder of Wonderful Hand Pavilion.
The Eastern Sub-rudder was not within Fushan County, but it was not too far away either. The Wonderful Hand Pavilion was divided into five main sub-rudders: east, south, west, north, and central. Underneath these were other sub-rudders. The martial cultivators who had attacked Feng Jun were mainly from the Fushan Sub-rudder, and only Innate Experts could possibly come from the main sub-rudders.
The whistleblower stated that within the pavilion’s sub-rudder, there were at least over ten Immortal Cultivation Techniques, even pinpointing two fundamental techniques and three Immortal Technique schools, as well as one movement technique.
The sub-rudder of the Wonderful Hand Pavilion was highly secretive, yet this person not only provided the address but also marked the location of the storeroom.
The informant hoped that if Divine Doctor truly gained something, he would be given the opportunity to cultivate outside the Spirit Gathering Array.
After briefly contemplating, Feng Jun decided to put this matter aside for now; there were many things he had to do.
Of course, the most important was to improve his cultivation level. At the next moment, he returned to Earth with the fire sweet potato mud.
Deploying the ten pounds of fire sweet potato mud was very convenient, not even taking ten minutes; and that was with him being extra meticulous to avoid any mistakes.
Once the deployment was finished, Feng Jun went straight back to the villa, summoned Wang Haifeng and the other two disciples, and told them he was going into seclusion for some time to cultivate.
The three disciples were not surprised, as they had seen their master busily engaged in some tasks lately, and it was evident that there would be significant actions following.
Moreover, they took turns practicing in the Bamboo Forest, but seldom saw their master cultivating there.
This was not logical. Feng Jun’s cultivation level was much higher than the three of them. How could he possibly not cultivate?
When informed that Feng Jun was entering seclusion, the three disciples thought this made sense. As for not being able to go to the Bamboo Forest for a short time, it wasn’t a big deal. Cultivating in the Bamboo Forest was exceptionally fast; taking a brief period to rest and assimilate their experiences was beneficial.
In fact, their mentality was similar—the Bamboo Forest was created by their master, so of course, they should yield if he needed to cultivate there.
But Feng Jun’s requirements went beyond that. Once the twenty-seven Spirit Gathering Arrays combining into the Heaven-Swallowing Formation were activated, the effect was so astonishing that even he dared not imagine it.
Therefore, he demanded that his three disciples drop everything they were doing and patrol around the valley without leaving until his seclusion ended—even during meal times.
This request seemed a bit excessive, but Feng Jun did provide an explanation, “What I need to guard against are people, not small animals. You all are aware of the wonders of the Bamboo Forest. If it’s targeted by others, finding another place like this will not be easy.”
The three nodded in agreement, accepting his reasoning. Honestly, although the Bamboo Forest wasn’t large, hiding such a place from the surrounding population required a sizeable area.
A plot of land this big would be utterly impossible to find in an urban area, but if it was too remote, it would cause many inconveniences to daily life. It could be said that the piece of land bought by Feng Jun was quite rare.
Still, Lu Xiaoning couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Jun, will the sounds from your cultivation be particularly loud?”
Feng Jun pondered for a moment before frankly admitting, “It should be… slightly louder.”
He couldn’t deny it, knowing that he couldn’t hide his upcoming actions from his disciples—even ordinary people might notice.
Wang Haifeng looked at the other two, “Then… how about we postpone external obligations for a bit?”
“No problem, I’ll let my family know,” Xu Leigang nodded, replying eagerly. Ever since Elder Jiang had been able to walk again, both his wife and daughter, shocked but moved, had shown a significant shift in their attitude and expressed considerable understanding towards him.
The Little Princess occasionally threw a tantrum, but her mother would educate her.
However, Fatty Xu was still a bit concerned, “Master… how long will it approximately take? I need to make arrangements.”
Feng Jun thought for a moment. I don´t have experience with this either, “Let’s start with half a month, you all know… I’m still figuring things out.”
The three people patrolled, and since they couldn’t leave even to eat, of course, they needed someone to deliver food. Feng Jun made a decisive call, “Let’s go with Li Shishi, I’ll talk to her in a bit.”
Why not choose Li Xiaobin? Because Squad Leader Li is more of a sentiment to him, while the receptionist is more reverent.
The daily affairs of the three disciples were not few, especially for Wang Haifeng and Xu Leigang, who had a myriad of tasks assigned, taking almost two hours.
Meanwhile, Feng Jun had already started testing various Spirit Gathering Arrays around the Bamboo Forest. People would always cultivate in the bamboo groves, and he didn’t want to interrupt them, so after saying hello, he conducted a concentrated test.
The three disciples hurried over, having just finished discussing and dividing each person’s work area, when a loud explosion was heard near the Bamboo Forest.
This kind of noise had already become normal at Mount Zhige in the Earth Plane, and many cultivators might not even react to it.
Its like having a neighbor doing renovations, with the sound of the impact drill erupting now and then. Initially, everyone might be annoyed, but after a while, it becomes normal, at most, they’d complain – damn it, can’t you drill all the holes at once?
But on the Earth Plane, such noise was truly unprecedented.
The trio hadn’t yet recovered from the shock when Feng Jun’s voice sounded from the walkie-talkie, “It’s nothing… just a small mistake.”
He’s not a machine, although he was making an effort to set up the arrays accurately, errors were inevitable, especially since the valley wasn’t flat and had its ups and downs.
Out of the twenty-seven Spirit Gathering Arrays, three were set up incorrectly, resulting in three explosions.
That was a success rate of nearly ninety percent, which was quite good.
In the process of correcting them, Feng Jun made another mistake, so in total, there were four explosions.
He had prepared materials for thirty Spirit Gathering Arrays in total, so this was a bit over budget, but fortunately, there wasn’t an issue in the design of the Spirit Gathering Arrays, but rather in the variability during placement, so the wasted materials weren’t concentrated on one particular type.
Therefore, after activating all twenty-seven formations, he still had a surplus of materials for one Spirit Gathering Array. Together with the leftover materials from the first attempt, he could theoretically set up four more Spirit Gathering Arrays.
The explosions weren’t too big, but they were definitely not small, and all the workers in the manor felt it.
But they could also realize that the source of the noise was the valley that everyone was forbidden to enter.
President Feng’s miracles were the most talked about among the locals, and just by standing on the hilltop, one could see that large swath of bamboo grove growing and spreading at an unusually rapid rate.
So, people generally kept their distance from that place. Hearing the loud noises and slight vibrations from there, only two team leaders called out on the walkie-talkie channels as a way to report up and to get an understanding of the situation.
Xu Leigang was skilled at handling such situations. He directly stated over the walkie-talkie, “We know about the situation. Don’t snoop into things you shouldn’t.”
All the Spirit Gathering Arrays were activated, and attracting spiritual energy still required a process. Feng Jun came to a hill and gathered his three disciples, “Do you feel any changes?”
Sure enough, among the three disciples, Gazi had a bit better talent, maybe because he was younger?
After sensing for a while, he tentatively asked, “It’s like… it’s far from the Bamboo Forest, but also not too far?”
Feng Jun nodded, “That’s right, this feeling is called nature’s spiritual energy… It will be even stronger tomorrow.”
With everyone’s cultivation level gradually improving, he also began to introduce some common knowledge step by step, not needing too much at once, just letting them slowly accept and digest it.
Xu Leigang and Wang Haifeng had already guessed as much, and weren’t surprised by this answer. They were just secretly delighted: Master is finally starting to reveal the secrets step by step.
But Gazi thought less than the other two. He excitedly asked, “Nature’s spiritual energy… does that mean we are cultivating?”
As mentioned before, he read more online novels than Feng Jun.
Feng Jun chuckled and shook his head, “You three are just in the stage of practicing martial arts, and I am only studying Daoist techniques. As for cultivation… haha, theres a saying that goes well, ‘Who can be called an Immortal?'”
Gazi nodded seriously, very affirmatively saying, “Then, Brother Jun, you must be in the stage of true cultivation now.”
Feng Jun just smiled and didn’t know how to answer the question, so he just gave a light cough, “I have a task for you. It’s best if you rest less tonight and feel the changes in nature’s spiritual energy. Later, I will design cultivation directions based on your individual characteristics.”
This was the first time he made a promise to his disciples… maybe letting you also touch Daoist techniques.
Xu Leigang turned and left, “I’m going to get mosquito repellent oil…”
