Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1955 - 1957: Signal

Upon hearing Gazi say "Boss is the greatest," Feng Jing realized she had fallen into a bit of a mental rut.

She felt Feng Jun was "disrupting the rules," actually using some of the rigid thinking within her own kind, believing stability to be paramount.

However, Gazi’s reaction clearly indicated: Some believed Luohua was akin to a gang, with the boss being the greatest.

Not everyone would support Gazi, but not everyone would support her, Mei Jin, either.

Still, one point was certain: Some might feel Feng Jun was unjust, but if Feng Jun really walked away, that would be the biggest injustice to everyone.

His words were indeed correct: Cultivation and officialdom are completely different systems, and systems ought to be diverse.

Even so, when she heard the name "Luo Yuhuan," she shook her head decisively, "Telling me this is pointless."

Gazi turned around and walked away, "Then I’ll go find the boss."

Feng Jing was stunned again: At that time, the three of them suspected that Yang Yuxin had gained some benefits, yet they didn’t go directly to Feng Jun but found Director Yang, even causing Director Yang to hold a grudge.

Looking at Gazi, who couldn’t get any news from her and simply went to find the boss, this was acting true to oneself.

But she quickly comforted herself: Everyone has their own way of doing things; there’s no need to learn from others deliberately.

The boss is right, just be yourself...

While lost in these thoughts, she accidentally saw Zhong Lijing standing at the Moon Gate, waving at her.

"Come in and talk," Feng Jing waved her in, Xiao Zhong was already capable of cultivating, and she was female, which qualified her to enter the inner courtyard—the likes of Gazi could come in for temporary matters, "What’s up?"

It turned out that Zhong Lijing had heard that consuming the Body Tempering Pill could be quite painful and might cause moaning, so she felt it would be inconvenient to use it in the front building, and wanted to borrow a room in the back building, after which she could take a shower once the effects wore off.

Was it really just about taking the Body Tempering Pill? Teacher Mei suddenly realized that was the first thought in her head.

"Go ahead," Teacher Mei waved her hand and tossed over a string of keys, "Room three on the second floor is my room, you can use my toiletries."

"No need," Zhong Lijing replied with a smile, "I brought my own toiletries, heard it would smell bad, I’ll choose a communal room."

She took the keys, opened the door, and went inside. Feng Jing saw her disappear through the door, feeling that something seemed off.

After a while, she realized: Why didn’t I accompany her inside?

With this realization, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth silently, "Director Yang... Truly admirable, such skill!"

Even though she was unwilling to admit it, subconsciously, she indeed felt estranged from Zhong Lijing, and despite her efforts to show goodwill, the incident simply couldn’t unhappen.

She wasn’t blaming Zhong Lijing at all, but Director Yang could effortlessly create such a situation, and when Zhong Lijing ascended, others would likely hold her accountable for it, this ability to turn everything around is something she simply couldn’t help but respect.

Meanwhile, Yang Yuxin won over Zhong Lijing’s favor!

Moreover, judging by Feng Jun’s demeanor, he seemed willing to break a few rules for Xiao Zhong, indicating that Xiao Zhong likely had a promising future, even if not quite like the Little Celestial Master, possibly further than Sister Hong.

If combined with Gu Jiahui... the thought made Feng Jing shiver, how did such people come up with such a grand play so effortlessly?

She composed herself, thinking about how she could break the situation, finally recalling Gazi’s earlier actions, resolvedly—Fine, I’ll go directly to ask Yang Yuxin what’s going on!

After all, being a cultivator means living with true sentiments, right?

Two hours later, Zhong Lijing walked out of the back building, her hair slightly damp, clearly freshly showered, as she hadn’t dried her hair thoroughly.

But her tolerance was quite high, having downed a whole Body Tempering Pill, merely lightly groaning for about ten minutes, a bit stronger than Gazi and Wang Haifeng, vastly surpassing Xu Leigang.

In fact, many women have a higher tolerance for pain than men, and Zhong Lijing was young, only twenty-three years old, furthermore, she was already at the first layer of Rebirth from the Mundane, her meridians clearer, allowing such performance wasn’t particularly rare.

She had just washed off the makeup on her face, confident in her appearance.

Feng Jing had already adjusted her mindset. Seeing the fresh-faced and elegant girl, she couldn’t help but praise, "She’s indeed so lovable, no wonder Elder Feng made an exception for you!"

"Sister Hong, you’re joking," Zhong Lijing smiled slightly. She could also speak compliments, "You’re the real mature woman - beautiful and graceful, truly at a woman’s best age... Hmm, you’re taller than me too."

"Let’s stop complimenting each other," Feng Jing shook her head with a smile, "You admire mature grace; I prefer youthful vigor."

Zhong Lijing still wasn’t very used to flattery, thinking for a moment before responding, "No one can stay young forever, intrinsic qualities are more important."

Seeing her struggling with words, Feng Jing casually spoke, "Are you heading to the front building to rest, or going to his place?"

Zhong Lijing lowered her eyelids, cautiously answering, "Elder Feng said, if I wanted, I could go again. Just to help me sort out the effects of the Body Tempering Pill, striving to... strive to... make progress within three days."

"Don’t say that," Feng Jing raised her hand, frustratedly tapping her forehead, "You’re making me jealous to death. Back then, if I hadn’t given myself to that jerk, but to him... Ay, anyway, during this time, you can really push your cultivation level."

In reality, Zhong Lijing was worried about making Senior Sister Mei angry. Although she had a cheerful personality, as a woman, she possessed the tenderness and sensitivity women should have... The old woman born in the 80s probably still had high expectations for relationships, right?

Seeing Senior Sister Mei speaking freely, she was actually happy, spontaneously saying, "What if... Senior Sister Mei, you come with me?"

To her surprise, Senior Sister Mei wasn’t angry but instead said, "That’s great, I was thinking the same."

Halfway there, Director Mei realized her words might have been misphrased, so she emphasized, "Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m just going over to chat with Yang Yuxin."

Zhong Lijing had a very typical response for someone from the ’90s generation, "No problem, there are several tents and prefab rooms there."

"You..." Director Mei looked at her helplessly, "Fine, focus on your cultivation. Once Zhang Caixin and the others return, your chances for cultivation will likely decrease."

Upon reaching the tent, Yang Yuxin and Feng Jun were enjoying the rain under a sun umbrella. Director Mei waved at Yang Yuxin, "Sister Yuxin... I need to talk to you."

The two entered Director Yang’s tent, and Teacher Mei, without hesitation, directly spoke, "Regarding the Lifespan Extension Pill, I was somewhat inconsiderate. But we’re all women; you should understand, it’s a natural feeling... What do you wish to achieve by giving her cultivation technique?"

Yang Yuxin smiled slightly at her words, "That’s right, why not be straightforward? I am also from the inner circle, but I don’t like beating around the bush. Now that we’re on the cultivation path, if we have any requests, isn’t it better to be upfront?"

Teacher Mei shook her head, speaking helplessly, "Director Yang, perhaps at your level, you can straightforwardly express requests, but I’m just a lower-level clerk; I can’t afford to offend anyone, we’re just not on the same level."

She truly believed this, the level determines the perspective. At Yang Yuxin’s level, unless it’s a major issue, she can pretty much say whatever she wants, but how could those below manage that?

In the eyes of ordinary people, a Level 2 Investigator was already a high rank, but she still considered herself a small figure.

Yang Yuxin didn’t pay much attention to this; in her view, a Level 2 Investigator was indeed not significant, "Since you’re being so direct, I’ll be direct too... You all surround me for explanations, but you really found the wrong person. I don’t like that feeling."

"What I say now won’t escape Elder Feng, but I still want to say it: you should seek him out. A group of Qi Refinement Realm, what do you want with me at the Transcendence Realm... Isn’t that right, Elder Feng?"

Feng Jun didn’t respond at all - he indeed heard it, but with an internal conflict in the harem, how could he express an opinion?

Teacher Mei nodded, "At that time, I was indeed inconsiderate, but I always thought... for family, resources should be shared, yet I’m too afraid to casually approach the Big Boss, so I came to you to inquire, not expecting you to be so sensitive."

Yang Yuxin shook her head, "That’s a misuse of words, this isn’t about sensitivity, it’s about bullying; you are bullying me... Qi Refinement Realm against Transcendence Realm."

Feng Jing found it amusing; this kind of thing, you actually elevated it to the level of bullying...

But she truly didn’t want to dwell on it, "Alright, let’s say it’s bullying, can I apologize? Honestly, I didn’t think much of it, I just enjoy beauty."

"I’m not angry with you," Yang Yuxin shook her head, "I know exactly what kind of person you are, you’re just a lazy fish... Don’t doubt my ability to gather information, but I’m really surprised you’re with those two."

"So, you’re not fond of her sisters," Feng Jing continued frankly, "You feel Zhang Caixin is a bit excessive?"

"Not that there’s anything I dislike," Yang Yuxin kept shaking her head, "I don’t even interact with you all, don’t even eat with you; I know Zhang Caixin has great prospects, but... why pick on me? Do you think I’m being wronged?"

Because you took the Lifespan Extension Pill! Feng Jing internally muttered, you got a great bargain, didn’t you?

But these words couldn’t be spoken openly, so she could only nod, "It does feel a bit wrongful, but what about what you did to Zhong Lijing? You should look for the master, not hassle me, the lazy fish, does that make sense?"

"You think it’s troublesome?" Yang Yuxin widened her eyes in surprise, "I was sending a signal to your alliance."
