Big Data Cultivation
Chapter 2130 - 2132: An Unintentional Backup Plan (Part 2)
Feng Jun took out the Spirit Beast Bag, and once again released the spiritual energy from his body, tightly covering the pit’s opening.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, he released someone from the Spirit Beast Bag—sure enough, people could be released from it.
And the person he released was none other than Liu Yiyi, who had been trapped for nearly four years.
Liu Yiyi was a Qi Refining Ninth Layer with a pure yin constitution. Because she had spatial attributes and had seen the outer space of the Earth Plane, Feng Jun really couldn’t let her go—in fact, he had thought of killing her back then.
But she pleaded bitterly, not wanting to die, willing to stay in the Spirit Beast Bag, hoping to be released at a more suitable time.
Feng Jun didn’t want to be harsh and harm a delicate flower, so he left her some water and Fasting Pills in the Spirit Beast Bag.
After that, he basically forgot about her. Later, when he succeeded in forming his Golden Core, he thought about releasing her, but felt the time wasn’t right; now, however, it was unavoidable.
The released Liu Yiyi was obviously quite bewildered. She hesitated for a moment, then after glancing at Feng Jun, she asked, "Where is this place?"
Feng Jun was also quite perplexed, wondering how her mental fortitude could be this strong, without any issues?
Not to mention the tales of solitary confinement in the military, even from Feng Jun’s personal experience, drifting alone in the void for more than two years was hard to bear.
And Liu Yiyi had been in the Spirit Beast Bag for over four years—strictly speaking, adding the two years in the void, it was over six years, nearly seven, and her reaction was so normal?
But now was not the time to discuss this. Feng Jun casually asked, "Have you never thought of coming out?"
"I wasn’t in a hurry," Liu Yiyi still seemed a bit dazed, and she looked around, answering casually, "I could practice the Innate Fetal Breath Technique... just short on Spirit Stones. It’s not too late to come out when it’s safe."
Feng Jun suddenly realized, for the first time he thought of something. It turned out he hadn’t paid much attention to her because she had been practicing the Innate Fetal Breath Technique.
This cultivation technique was originally for extending life or avoiding pursuit, and the Liu Family had Liu Yiyi practice it for a somewhat unspeakable reason: she had a pure yin constitution, and when breaking through, they hoped for a win-win situation.
If there wasn’t a suitable partner when breaking through, she could use the Innate Fetal Breath Technique and wait a bit longer.
After Liu Yiyi finished answering, her mind cleared a bit. Seeing her surroundings, she couldn’t help but carefully ask, "Is this... outside the domain’s grand membrane?"
"I’ll explain that later," Feng Jun handed her a Storage Talisman. "Take out a Spirit Stone from inside, and remember not to let go."
Liu Yiyi naturally took out a Spirit Stone and was going to hand it to Feng Jun.
"Don’t!" Feng Jun quickly stopped her, then handed over a Storage Bag, speaking up, "Take out a defense array disk for the Out-of-Body stage and activate it with this Spirit Stone..."
The defense array disk was finally activated, but the Spirit Stone was consumed at an alarming speed, visibly fading, and Liu Yiyi’s face suddenly changed, "Why so fast?"
"It’s fine," Feng Jun smiled and withdrew his released spiritual energy, "now I can finally tell you... we’re in the void, and the fast consumption of Spirit Stones is normal."
"In the void!" Liu Yiyi’s eyes immediately widened, her teeth uncontrollably chattering, "You, you, you... how did you get here?"
Feng Jun smiled without answering, instead picking up a Storage Talisman and attempting to retrieve the battery inside.
The next moment, the battery was indeed retrieved. He nodded thoughtfully, confirming that with the defense array’s protection, items could be retrieved from the storage space. However, the Spirit Stone consumption was even faster,
Continuing, Feng Jun conducted a series of tests and finally discovered that, within the defense array, he could retrieve anything except Spirit Stones—which required Liu Yiyi’s intervention to retrieve whether normal or mid-grade ones.
As for high-grade... Liu Yiyi couldn’t touch them; her cultivation level couldn’t handle it.
Not only did she have to retrieve the Spirit Stones, but she also had to maintain contact; otherwise, they would explode fiercely, even within the defense array—such are the terrifying rules.
But Liu Yiyi had only two hands. She had to take off her socks and place one foot on the Spirit Stone of the defense array disk, freeing her hands for other tasks, causing Feng Jun to crease his brow, "My goodness, what a strong odor."
Liu Yiyi looked at him helplessly, "I haven’t washed my feet in many years, though I have some water, it’s reserved for drinking, but... your image isn’t great either!"
What image did Feng Jun have left? He wore nothing but a small vest, practically everything was exposed.
But he didn’t mind, why worry about appearance when you’re in the Void? "I have clothes; the urgent task now is healing. Everything else can wait. Still, you should take turns washing your feet... the smell is too strong."
Liu Yiyi also wanted to wash her feet; which girl doesn’t love beauty? But she hesitated a bit, "This is in the Void, do you think... we shouldn’t conserve water?"
Feng Jun rolled his eyes, "I don’t plan to stay in the Void forever, and... after you use the water, it can be evaporated and condensed again, no need to save."
Then, the two started to recuperate. When Liu Yiyi adjusted her status, she had to step on the Defense Array Disk with one foot and the Spirit Restoration Array Disk with the other—since the Spirit Gathering Array couldn’t be used here, they could only draw spiritual energy from Spirit Stones through the Spirit Restoration Array for absorption.
Fortunately, Feng Jun carried a lot of Middle-grade Spirit Stones, otherwise, Liu Yiyi wouldn’t do anything else, just busy fetching and setting Spirit Stones.
This shows the role of Middle-grade Spirit Stones, which is really irreplaceable by ordinary Spirit Stones.
Feng Jun took almost ten days to recuperate, his old injuries were mostly healed, and his energy and spirits greatly improved, but there was always a lingering gloom between his brows.
Next, Feng Jun began to absorb Spirit Stones from Liu Yiyi’s hand to charge the Stone Ring.
During these ten days, Liu Yiyi and Feng Jun learned a lot from each other. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
She practiced the Innate Tortoise Breath Technique in the Spirit Beast Bag, feeling that time passed quickly, yet she hadn’t spoken to anyone for a long time. Feng Jun was alone wandering in the Void, only talking to himself, both of them had a strong desire for communication, and talked a lot.
At first, Liu Yiyi was almost scared to death upon hearing she was in the Void, but gradually she accepted the fact—anyway, Mountain Master Feng was with her.
Moreover, Feng Jun spoke clearly; if he could return, she only needed to swear not to reveal the true identity of "Porsche," and he planned to let her leave, even compensating her with fifty thousand Spirit Stones.
However, after hearing about the situation of White Pebble Beach, Liu Yiyi expressed she preferred staying at White Pebble Beach. First, because she had no feelings for Kongming Mountain, and second, because now among an entire Warship crew, only she lived, wouldn’t the Kongming Mountain Liu Family Brothers ask questions?
She was distantly related to the two Master Lius, but their relationship was really ordinary.
Master Liu sending her as a Cauldron to Master Jiao wasn’t considered harming her, after all, it’s hard for ordinary people to curry favor with a Golden Core Master, and if indeed cultivated, she could gain many benefits.
But the Liu Family Brothers also wanted to use her to control Master Jiao, which was a bit difficult, and besides, Master Jiao wasn’t easy to deal with, caught in the middle, she not only found it hard to manage, but even faced the danger of losing her life.
Liu Yiyi cherished her life greatly. Since she "saved" Feng Jun this time, allowing her to live carefree, why would she return to Kongming Mountain?
Therefore, her interaction with Feng Jun was quite natural; seeing him absorb Spirit Stones one by one, she couldn’t help but ask, "Why not use the Spirit Restoration Array? Directly absorbing Spirit Stones isn’t good for your body, right?"
Feng Jun replied casually, "I have a secret technique, after absorbing Spirit Stones, I might be able to break the Void and return to reality."
Liu Yiyi, experienced in dealing with Masters, was quite clever; upon hearing about the secret technique, she immediately stopped asking questions, but after a while, she softly asked again, "Do I need to enter the Spirit Beast Bag again this time?"
Feng Jun thought for a while, then nodded, "Letting you in is for your protection. Actually, I don’t wish you to enter, but if attacked outside, I’m really worried, unable to divert my attention to protect you."
Liu Yiyi nodded and said no more.
Feng Jun was taking a great risk this time, directly absorbing over five thousand Spirit Stones for energy reserves, and then he didn’t rush to leave but instead pushed out of the defense formation to start treasure hunting around.
Arguably, the most urgent thing now is to return to reality quickly, but Feng Jun had thought it through. If anything happens outside, a thousand days is long enough for things to happen, and it really doesn’t matter to wait a few more days. Since coming to the Void once, it wouldn’t be a wasted trip.
After all, there are indeed many good things in the Void, and Feng Jun lost quite a bit on this trip to the Void. Although returning is already a huge gain, bringing back some items would be even better, right?
However, he wasn’t overly greedy; he spent five days collecting a broken stick over a foot long and a roughly two-foot in diameter, irregularly shaped stone block.
In fact, what he most wanted to collect was the Big Stone he was dwelling on. Though large, he truly had such a big Storage Bag, at worst he’d throw out all the iron ores within.
Yet he had some other ideas, after absorbing spiritual energy on the Big Stone for half a day, Feng Jun finally took out his Mobile Phone, attempting to leave a footprint, and then... he really succeeded.
With the footprint successfully recorded, Feng Jun couldn’t help but feel the urge to use the "footprint" to leave, but ultimately, he chose "exit," for no other reason than to be cautious.
When he put Liu Yiyi away, the Spirit Stones on the Defense Array Disk suddenly burst, Feng Jun raised his hand to also store away the Defense Array Disk, mentally reciting "exit."
If exiting failed, he could only release Liu Yiyi again, finding a way to survive in the Void, and consider new ways of leaving.
