Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1942 - 1944: Dispute

Feng Jun noticed Zhong Lijing’s little movements, and for a moment, he felt a bit troubled. What’s going on with kids these days?

"Don’t let your mind wander. I’m talking about a real, dangerous item. Since you haven’t started cultivation, you might not be able to handle it."

Zhong Lijing couldn’t help but blush. After nodding, she turned around and ran off as fast as she could.

Watching her leave, Yang Yuxin couldn’t help but comment, "Elder Feng, you’re getting easier to talk to these days."

"Not really," Feng Jun tried to defend himself, and then recounted Zhong Lijing’s experiences.

Yang Yuxin hadn’t expected that this girl, who seemed to have such audacity, had such a sad backstory. After a moment’s pause, she sighed, "So she’s really... clinging to you."

Feng Jun gave a wry smile. He indeed felt that way. The reason he indulged Little Zhong wasn’t just because she was pretty.

In her previous twenty-odd years of life, she had protected herself well. Now that she had found a place where she wouldn’t be rejected, she couldn’t help but want to give herself, in hopes of gaining protection - such insecurity probably ran through her past two decades.

In the face of her trusting reliance, Feng Jun found it really hard to refuse.

Yang Yuxin had actually been testing him. Seeing his expression, she couldn’t suppress her jealousy any longer, and snorted, "You little lecher, you won’t let her go, will you?"

Feng Jun didn’t answer directly, just smiled, "I have no interest in Liang Siyu, Director Yang. You’re really skilled at stirring things up!"

"So you’re interested in Little Zhong then," Yang Yuxin, who usually wasn’t jealous and seemed very easy-going, was unexpectedly different today. Perhaps Zhong Lijing’s appearance had put some pressure on her.

But in truth, she knew it very well. Previously, she wasn’t concerned because she came later, and in terms of looks, she wasn’t at an advantage, and her age was even less so. Why should she be jealous?

At this moment, encountering a younger, prettier newcomer, especially one who was proactive, it would be abnormal if she didn’t feel a bit envious.

So she couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah, I’m really getting old."

"Do you have to be like this?" Feng Jun couldn’t help it, "That Lifespan Extension Pill, you’re the only one in Luohua who’s had one. I haven’t even taken it... If others find out, they might speculate how much I favor you."

Hearing this, Yang Yuxin couldn’t help but smile. Isn’t it true that all women love to be coaxed? She spoke with a smile, "These past few days, Teacher Mei has been secretly observing me. I guess she’s figured something out."

In fact, there were others besides Teacher Mei who had guessed something. At this moment, Sister Hong was whispering to her sister, "Xiao Caixin, does the Kunhao Plane have pills that restore youth? I don’t think Director Yang’s face can be improved by beauty treatments alone."

"I think I heard someone mention it in passing, but for details, you’d have to ask Mei Jin," Zhang Caixin answered uncertainly, "She’s been to that plane more times than I have... However, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve forgotten. I heard Feng Jun say he can get Youthening Pills."

"Youthening Pills?" Sister Hong’s eyes lit up. As a woman starting to feel the effects of aging, her desire for such elixirs was something the young couldn’t understand.

She bluntly stated, "Let’s go find Mei Jin right away. We can’t delay any longer... We’re aging every day."

Zhang Caixin wasn’t too concerned, thinking she was close to the Out of Dust Realm, where she wouldn’t age anymore.

However, since her sister was anxious, she decided to accompany her.

The next day it rained again, and the newly trained recruits began their work, while Liang Siyu and the others gradually withdrew.

The fastest to withdraw was Liu Yuting. The young women she mentored had grown, and Li Nansheng was almost ready to handle things independently. Her successor was Yang Yuxi, who surely benefited from the guidance of Gu Jiahui and Yang Yuxin.

In fact, although Yang Yuxi was quite familiar with the nursing center’s operations, she only realized after taking over that the doctor responsible for treating cancer was actually a butterfly using Gu Insect therapy.

When she first heard this, Yang Yuxi was almost scared stiff—you’re using these things for caretaking?

No wonder the nursing center was always so mysterious; it couldn’t help but be. If this got out, the whole world would be in an uproar.

She then discovered that the person in charge of the "Cancer Is No Tiger" live stream was probably... not human, either.

By this time, she could manage to stay relatively calm. After all, with Elder Feng around, if Liu Yuting wasn’t scared before, she could be unafraid now.

Meanwhile, the Zhang Family Sisters and Good Scenery had arranged to meet at Feng Jun’s tent, but he wasn’t there—he had gone to Mount Taibai to visit the Earth Spirit.

The three of them happened to corner Yang Yuxin, trying to ask questions indirectly, mainly about where she got her beauty treatment.

Yang Yuxin felt a bit exasperated, but since Feng Jun didn’t want her to reveal it, she couldn’t be capricious. She responded unhappily, "What exactly do you want to ask? Just say it straightforwardly."

According to Sister Hong, they should just insist on finding out which beauty salon it was, but Zhang Caixin didn’t want to be so roundabout and directly asked, "Was it a Rejuvenation Pill, a Youthening Pill, or a Lifespan Extension Pill?"

"Those are things I can’t get," Yang Yuxin shook her head and answered calmly, "So if you have questions, you should ask Elder Feng. Asking me is pointless."

Sister Hong didn’t want to anger her, she just smiled and said, "We were thinking, even if he has them, he wouldn’t have much, so we felt uncomfortable asking directly, which is why we came to ask Sister Yuxin for help."

Yang Yuxin shook her head, "The things you’re talking about, once they get out, it would be like the sky is falling. You better find out yourselves."

Actually, she didn’t even need to say this, how could the three not think of it? But precisely because they thought of it, they couldn’t ask Feng Jun directly.

However, upon hearing Yang Yuxin’s unequivocal answer, the three understood that Elder Feng was indeed biased.

Sister Hong sighed, and asked slowly, "Sister Yuxin, we’re all in this together, we just want to know one thing: how many pills does Elder Feng still have?"

Yang Yuxin also forced a smile, "I say, you all are in the Qi Refinement Realm, why make things difficult for someone like me who’s just in the Transformation Realm? I’ve never competed with you, as for whether he has pills, or how many... actually, I’m even more afraid of him than you are."

Sister Hong fell silent, but Zhang Caixin stood up, "Forget it, don’t make things difficult for Director Yang, some things we shouldn’t just wait for Elder Feng to give us, we’ll have to fight for ourselves later."

As expected, Luohua’s second most powerful person is quite confident.

Upon hearing this, Sister Hong and Good Scenery felt embarrassed to ask further, as if everyone had a bit of pride.

Seriously, Yang Yuxin couldn’t help but ask upon hearing this, "Where exactly will you go to fight... compete?"

Although she had taken a Lifespan Extension Pill, she wanted a Youthening Pill and others as well.

Sister Hong smiled slightly at her, "We’re not positioned to say, Director Yang can ask Gu Jiahui."

Yang Yuxin watched their backs as they left, snorting softly, "It’s Sister Yuxin when there’s something, Director Yang when there’s nothing!"

Frankly, the three of them coming to her collectively had a significant impact on her. Previously, she thought that everyone in the manor was cultivating independently without interference, so she intentionally stayed at the place where Feng Jun was cultivating.

But now the three had come together, what does it signify?

The simple view is that the pills Feng Jun gave her seem truly extraordinary. Yang Yuxin asked herself, if she were in the other party’s position and received similar news, she probably couldn’t sit still either.

In fact, Elder Feng’s arrogance, yet not daring to spread the news, is enough to indicate the problem.

However, Yang Yuxin’s view wasn’t that superficial. After careful analysis, she realized that as the Luohua disciples grew, their demands for resources also increased significantly, and some special resources could not satisfy all their needs.

In this situation, they had to be proactive, to fight and seize, as Zhang Caixin’s final words before leaving made clear—it was inconvenient to ask Elder Feng? Then we’ll find a way ourselves.

Thinking this, Yang Yuxin couldn’t help but worry about her daughter.

Her daughter was in a growth and development phase and didn’t yet need these pills, but it was imaginable that one day Feng Jun wouldn’t be able to provide her with all the cultivation resources, and she too would have to fight and seize for herself!

This sudden realization made Yang Yuxin fully grasp the situation: cultivation isn’t something you can just close the door on and continue indefinitely, the process of fighting and seizing involves various risks, even fatal ones.

She had known this before, but Luohua had always been relatively peaceful, with occasional external forces coveting them, yet Feng Jun’s presence was like a stabilizing force, protecting everyone well.

Once Yang Yuxin realized that her precious daughter would also have to go outside to vie for resources eventually, her heart was filled with complex emotions—it was a moment bound to come, but she hoped it could be delayed a little longer.

Thus, from this moment on, she couldn’t just laze about, not solely for herself, but more for her daughter, as long as she could barely keep pace with her daughter, should her daughter face danger in the future, she could stand up for her!

With a mother’s resolve, her attitude finally changed.

But then she fell into a dilemma, pondering how she could improve more quickly...

Feng Jun came back in the evening; the Earth Spirit hadn’t returned with him, it found too many mysteries in the Earth Vein of Mount Taibai, especially when the vein was already broken and incomplete, it could only deduce slowly.

Just as he returned, the Zhang Family Sisters and Good Scenery came over to ask when he would next visit the Mobile Phone Plane.

Feng Jun was a bit puzzled, saying, why are you all so proactive today? You can cultivate here as well.

Sister Hong was more responsible, directly expressing that she was getting on in age and wanted to go to Shijie Island in the Endless Sea as soon as possible, to manage affairs there, and if she could get a Youthening Pill, then that would be perfect.

Feng Jun contemplated, understanding the underlying meaning, then smiled and asked, "What have you all heard?"

"Just saw Director Yang becoming younger," Sister Hong said boldly, "We went to ask her, but she didn’t answer directly, we figured, this kind of thing might be a bit difficult for you, so we want to try our luck on our own."
