Big Data Cultivation

Feng Jun went out, and Gu Jiahui couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, what is that yellow little hamster?"

Feng Jun didn’t want to tell her at first, but after thinking about it, he finally responded, "It’s an Earth Spirit."

Gu Jiahui blinked her eyes, wanting to ask what an Earth Spirit is, but thinking that Mi Yunsan was right by her side, she ultimately decided not to.

However, Mi Yunsan couldn’t help but exclaim upon hearing the words, she knew a bit, "So that’s an Earth Spirit... a Five Elements Spirit?"

"Infant form," Feng Jun answered casually, "It’s at the Golden Core level, capturing it today was pure luck."

"Golden Core..." Gu Jiahui muttered softly, not speaking further, but her inner astonishment was understandable.

Once they reached the backyard, after entering the Aura Concealment Array, Gu Jiahui asked again, "What is the cultivation level of that white fox? It felt very oppressive."

Feng Jun straightforwardly replied with six words, "Golden Core Peak."

"Another Golden Core," Gu Jiahui felt her worldview was a little shaken, "it’s like a cabbage... at Golden Core Peak?"

Beyond Golden Core Peak is the Nascent Soul level, isn’t it? Thinking about such an existence quietly standing there today, seemingly respectful to Feng Jun, many words were suddenly stuck in her throat and couldn’t come out. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Don’t overthink it, one day you’ll reach the Golden Core level too," Feng Jun said with a smile, "Let them know, it’s time to wrap things up, today we’re going back to Earth."

With the Earth Spirit under control, why wait any longer to return to Earth?

In fact, the notification to wrap things up was mainly for Gazi, since most of those advancing had already comfortably stabilized their realms.

Among those from Luohua who came here this time, only two hadn’t advanced; one of them being Gu Jiahui who was called away by Feng Jun, leaving only Gazi working hard to break through the Innate barrier.

Two hours later, everyone gathered, and Gazi was still cultivating; he spoke, "Let me circulate for one more cycle, I feel I’m close to touching the bottleneck, bear with me, once we return I’ll treat everyone."

Of course, everyone understood, as cultivators, at a critical time, a chance or opportunity might be all it takes to achieve one’s dreams, so waiting a bit was no issue.

Feng Jun naturally took out his mobile phone to check if Gazi really had reached the critical point.

An hour later, Gazi finished cultivating, and Feng Jing packed him into the Spirit Beast Bag.

Then she clung to Feng Jun’s arm, holding a large Soul Stone in one hand.

The Earth Spirit was at the Golden Core level, unable to be put into any Spirit Beast Bag—at least Feng Jun couldn’t manage it. Even though Feng Jing had a spatial attribute, her realm was too low, draining her dry wouldn’t make it possible.

Feng Jun didn’t directly chant to exit this time; instead, he directly chose a footprint—the Alps Mountains.

This was akin to crossing a dimension, though not exiting, the operation was a bit troublesome, with hardly any difference in energy points, the main issue being the crushing force of the dimension, requiring Feng Jing to act as the "transport manager."

Feng Jun had set multiple footprints in the Alps Mountains, this time choosing the depths of the mountains, an absolute wilderness with no human presence.

Returning to Earth meant only him and Feng Jing, while the mobile phone dimension was originally early spring, it was now late spring.

Teacher Mei wore thin clothes, although she was now at the Qi Refining First Layer, she still hadn’t adjusted to the transition of seasons, and upon returning to Earth, she couldn’t help but shiver.

Feng Jun chose a deserted valley, the temperature wasn’t too low, but it wasn’t warm either. After all, this was Earth Realm’s northern hemisphere winter, shaded areas still had thick snow, hoping for warmth was impossible.

Fortunately, Teacher Mei had just returned from the Kunhao Plane, retaining some body heat, and only shivered slightly.

Feng Jun wasted no time, quickly giving her a coat, "Wait a moment, I’ll set up a Hidden Formation first."

The Alps are shared by several countries, planes or drones often appear, he didn’t want to be discovered.

After setting up the Hidden Formation, he released the vehicle and brought the others out, "I’ll treat everyone, one day tour in the Alps."

The vehicle was spacious enough, accommodating them with ease, Zhang Caixin and the others were a bit curious, "Why not return to Luohua?"

Feng Jun answered with a smile, "Gazi is close to advancing, and I happen to have some affairs here; you can enjoy a day, anyone wanting to return to Luohua, I’ll take them back tomorrow."

"This snowbound mountain isn’t much fun," Cai Xin grumbled, pouting. "Even if we have a snowball fight, it’ll have to wait until tonight. But we can still take some photos."

"Who says there’s nothing fun to do?" Feng Jun chuckled. "There’s wild pheasants, rabbits, mountain goats, and red deer in the mountains. We can go hunting. No need for guns—so many of you have just advanced to the Qi Refining First Layer. Try out your techniques."

"By the way, hand out the storage bags first," Sister Hong brought up the business at hand.

Among the people from Luohua, Feng Jing was the first to possess a storage bag. She didn’t make a fuss about it at the time, but when Cai Xin got a storage bag, she made no attempt to hide it—Feng Jun didn’t need her to. Advancing quickly in cultivation deserved rewards.

This time, Little Celestial Master, Sister Hong, and Feng Jing all advanced to the Qi Refining First Layer, and they’ve been wanting to swap their storage talismans for storage bags. But with so many people around from the mobile phone plane, they didn’t apply to Feng Jun, and now they couldn’t hold back anymore.

Feng Jun replied with a smile, "It’s not that I forgot, but the storage bags are on the Kunhao Plane, and not every Qi-Refining Cultivator has one... Strictly speaking, those with storage bags are in the minority. If I gave them to you all back then, it would have caused quite a stir. Oh, and there are magic artifacts to be distributed too."

The magic artifacts in his hand were abundant. First, he gave each of the three girls a flying artifact, and then took out a bunch of various offensive and defensive large artifacts for them to choose from.

To avoid drawing attention from others, he invited the three of them into a room to make their selections. However, people outside knew what was going on. Gazi was relatively relaxed, but Gu Jiahui was a bit envious, "Mom, I want one too."

Yang Yuxin truly felt for her daughter, but in this matter, she felt helpless. "Even if you had it, you couldn’t use it. Diligently cultivating is the proper path... You’re actually just a tiny step away. Don’t rush it. Haven’t you noticed how your mom isn’t anxious despite being at the sixth layer of Mortal Transformation?"

Cai Xin calmly chimed in from the side, "Actually, over on the Kunhao side, even for those just entering the threshold of Qi Refining... even for major sect disciples, acquiring a magic artifact is quite difficult. We at Luohua are already very fortunate to guarantee that once we enter Qi Refining, we have artifacts to choose from."

Gu Jiahui pursed her lips and said nothing, while Yang Yuxin spoke up to ask, "Cai Xin, are you very familiar with that place?"

"Not that familiar," Cai Xin shook her head, speaking frankly. "I’ve just been there a few times; Teacher Mei is more familiar than I am."

"Oh," Yang Yuxin nodded, casually asking, "Then why... is she more familiar and not you?"

Her question was straightforward, and Cai Xin didn’t dwell on it. In truth, talent is something beyond envy. "There are some reasons, but currently, it’s inconvenient to say."

Yang Yuxin wasn’t bothered by her refusal. She wanted to find out more for her daughter, so she remained curious, "What do you mean by major sect disciples? Can you explain a bit?"

"The Kunhao Plane has the Four Sects and Wutai, Two Peaks and One Valley, which are the major forces," Cai Xin didn’t hide this information, though she didn’t elaborate further either. "For specific details, you can ask the boss. I’m not very clear on the specifics either."

"I see," Yang Yuxin pondered this information. She hadn’t asked Feng Jun about similar matters before, but since she had already been brought over there, she figured getting more information out of him shouldn’t be an issue.

However, she had a question that didn’t seem right to ask Feng Jun, so she asked the one before her, "So compared to them, what does Luohua equate to... relatively speaking?"

Cai Xin tilted her head in thought before answering earnestly, "With the boss’ presence, they don’t dare provoke us... Without the boss, we would probably equate to..."

She thought it over carefully before coming up with a relatively precise term, "A middle-income family?"

"A middle-income family?" Yang Yuxin expressed some surprise at such a bizarre analogy, but she quickly controlled herself, "Then... how many people are there on the Kunhao Plane?"

"How would I know?" Cai Xin replied with a laugh, clearly having little interest in such data. However, considering the other had been to Kunhao, she paused to reflect before answering.

"I’m not very clear about the population of the Mortal Realm. As for the Cultivation World, there should be a few billion, maybe a dozen billion. The land is vast and sparsely populated, almost terrifyingly so. Flying for tens of millions of kilometers, you won’t see the boundary."

Yang Yuxin automatically replaced this information with the Earth Realm, coming to a conclusion that surprised her, "So, with Feng Jun around, we’re like one of the world’s top 500 companies. Without Feng Jun, we’re like the small restaurant downstairs?"

"Your analogy is a bit odd," Cai Xin didn’t think her own analogy was odd; instead, she found Yang Yuxin’s imagination broad. "But yes, describing it that way is basically accurate. There are many powerful figures over there, and there are thousands of Golden Core cultivators."

Yang Yuxin stood there, silently savoring her words, while Gu Jiahui became intrigued, "The boss hasn’t even reached Golden Core, yet is so powerful... there’s a reason for that, right?"

"The boss has already killed more than ten Golden Core cultivators," Cai Xin didn’t shy away from mentioning killing, since it was about matters in another world and couldn’t be pursued in this one. "Even the Ten Directions platform suffered a setback at his hands. That Master Qu, who helps guard our gate, was sent by the Crimson Phoenix Sect as a bodyguard."

"Ten Directions platform, Crimson Phoenix Sect..." Yang Yuxin was still pondering this, but Gu Jiahui had already caught on, "Four Sects and Wutai?"

"Yeah," Cai Xin nodded and then spoke seriously, "Even though I always say I’m the second in Luohua, without the boss, we’re nothing. I’m just barely putting up a front in front of you all, but in reality, it’s about pushing myself..."

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Yang Yuxin and Gu Jiahui understood—trying to develop on the Kunhao side was indeed very challenging.
