Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2071 - 2073: Truly Irresistible (First Update Celebrating Cute Leader Mo S Yan)
Master Wanyang was furious at the words, "You want me to earn money off my fellow disciples? Mountain Master Feng, if you continue to insult people like this, I’m going to flip out."
Feng Jun was not surprised by her reaction. In fact, in this society, earning kickbacks from one’s own people is indeed very unethical. However, he still shook his head indifferently, "I am not asking you to earn money from your fellow disciples; I want you to help me manage, and I will give you compensation."
"Actually, when cultivators from other domains come, it’s very inconvenient for us to manage them... You know their mentality. I’m someone who innately fears trouble, so I might avoid doing things that could be troublesome... like not letting them use White Pebble Beach to advance their cultivation."
"I’m not boasting; I can handle this kind of pressure. I am not afraid of pressure, but I do not like trouble!"
"Did I say I’ll charge extra? No! So the money you earn is from me, out of that three hundred spirit stones, thirty spirit stones are yours!"
Master Wanyang was completely stunned by his speech, and it took a long time before she came to her senses, "So... if I don’t help you manage things, you won’t let them come to White Pebble Beach to advance their cultivation?"
"Your description is still not entirely complete," Feng Jun spoke seriously, "Strictly speaking, if there is no one from the Higher Realm to help me manage, I won’t deal with these troublesome matters."
His implied meaning was: if you don’t help me manage, someone else can still help.
Master Wanyang certainly understood this, and she was very certain that even if she refused Feng Jun, someone else within the sect would agree—it’s not about making money from fellow disciples, but rather managing Feng Jun’s affairs and earning compensation.
If there is no moral pressure, who wouldn’t want to earn money?
At that moment, she even felt a bit lucky: Fortunately, I was the first to reach White Pebble Beach, so I ranked first.
Thirty spirit stones a day add up to over ten thousand spirit stones a year... For a Golden Core Ninth Layer, this amount of spirit stones is really not much, but it’s not insignificant either, especially since she doesn’t have to do anything and can even refine her aura in the Spirit Gathering Array.
After thinking this over, she spoke formally, "I want twenty percent... After all, not everyone advances their cultivation every day."
Indeed, her actions contradicted her words! Feng Jun nodded with a smile, "Alright, although what you said about not everyone advancing their cultivation every day may not be entirely accurate, once the spirit vein is fully developed, if ten people advance their cultivation simultaneously each day, we can still manage!"
Actually, although this cooperation was a spur-of-the-moment idea, he had already started considering it in these past two days, pondering how to deal with potentially appearing external cultivators.
From the bottom of his heart, he welcomes the arrival of these cultivators, after all, the presence of kindred spirit must be continually fueled to ensure its continuation.
However, how to manage these external cultivators is a particularly head-scratching issue. Kunhao Realm is not a strong domain; while Feng Jun is not ambiguous, there are simply too many external domains...
Faced with them one by one, he might not necessarily be overwhelmed by the pressure, but if he were to do so, he would be extremely busy for quite a long time in the future.
Moreover, risks objectively exist in this process; although he’s not afraid of danger and is confident in his ability to handle it, figures like Zhang Caixin and Teacher Mei face significantly increased risks.
Therefore, earlier he mentioned needing to charge fees; it’s not because he’s so short of spirit stones, but rather he must first set a threshold—White Pebble Beach is not a place for just anyone to come, the kindred spirit aura is not a free opportunity.
Cultivators from Kunhao Realm can come to take advantage without fees, but those from other planes, what right do they have to do so for free?
Then he considered that Master Wanyang seems somewhat financially constrained, so why not cooperate—let her help him manage those external cultivators and withstand pressure, and he’ll give her a percentage.
Twenty percent is really not much, he could accept up to thirty percent; it genuinely saves him a lot of energy, while also providing extra income, so why not?
Master Mushi, listening on the side, had been silent but could not help speaking up here, "Mountain Master Feng, are you saying that if other sects don’t cooperate with you, they can’t experience the kindred spirit aura?"
"That’s for sure!" Feng Jun nodded decisively, not forgetting to add, "I mean cultivators outside of Kunhao Realm."
"But now, there are already cultivators from outside Kunhao," Master Mushi spoke solemnly, "Aside from Qinggang Sect, cultivators from the other three sects have come from outside Kunhao."
Feng Jun glanced at Master Wanyang, "This still needs to trouble Daoist Friend Wanyang to announce that the kindred spirit aura at White Pebble Beach is solely a privilege for cultivators within this domain. External cultivators must not arbitrarily infringe upon it; let it not be said that they were not forewarned."
Master Wanyang considered for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, I’ll pass on the message for you. But regarding Taiqing Sect..."
She gestured towards the backyard, precisely in the direction of True Immortal Yi Jue. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Since she intends to charge compensation, she’s not fearful of the causality related to Kunhao Plane; however, with a Nascent Soul Ninth Layer present, showing appropriate respect is wise.
True Immortal Yi Jue’s divine sense immediately transmitted over, "Regarding Taiqing Sect, I do suggest they contact a few subordinate sects to sell this favor... Let’s start counting from today. From this day forth, external realm cultivators must obtain approval from your cooperating party before they enter White Pebble Beach."
"Alright," Feng Jun nodded indifferently, "Ignorance is not a crime... as for rules, they must be established gradually. Even imperfect regulations are better than none. Fellow Daoist Wan Yang, if any of them achieve the Pill Formation stage, help collect some Spirit Stones."
Master Wanyang was taken aback, "Other visiting cultivators also have to pay Spirit Stones through me?"
"Temporarily," Feng Jun replied casually, "After today, except for cultivators introduced by Jinwu Sect, no one else is allowed to enter."
Rules will be enforced, but flexibility will also be maintained. With Feng Jun’s statement, True Immortal Yi Jue naturally had no objections.
Master Wanyang was also pragmatic. Having decided to oversee White Pebble Beach and being promised a commission, she was highly motivated. After leaving the manor, she invited the four groups to the Crimson Phoenix Courtyard.
Though referred to as four groups, actually the courtyards of two platforms housed cultivators from four platforms, including Crimson Phoenix, totaling seven major forces.
Among the nine major forces from the Four Sects and Five Platforms, only Sidiaotai and Yinsha Sect were absent.
Among the seven major forces, there were many High-Rank Golden Core cultivators. Moreover, the heads of three platforms had not yet left. However, as Master Wanyang was not only at Golden Core Peak but also from a prominent sect, she was qualified to convene a meeting.
At the meeting, she relayed Feng Jun’s message, stating that similar energies had emerged at White Pebble Beach, thus outside domain cultivators were prohibited from coming to form pills—except for those from Jinwu Sect, for whom she took responsibility for Feng Jun.
The wording was somewhat diplomatic, yet most nodded in agreement... Prioritizing local cultivators is a recognized principle in Kunhao, even if a few weren’t pleased, they couldn’t openly disagree; otherwise, how would they explain to their sect’s disciples afterward?
The head of Wanfu Platform was overjoyed. Having speculated about the happenings at White Pebble Beach, he finally had confirmation, "So it is indeed similar energies?"
Master Wanyang nodded, "That’s what Mountain Master Feng said, and True Immortal Yi Jue did not object. It should be reliable, right?"
"Good!" Yue Qing also clenched his fist. He had speculations but no concrete evidence, "With Mountain Master Feng saying so, there’s no problem."
The implication was that even True Immortal Yi Jue’s assurance was not as reliable as Feng Jun’s.
However, Master Sumiao was troubled, "We have already received several colleagues from our subordinate sects."
"Mountain Master Feng said that those who have already arrived are exempt," Master Wanyang straightforwardly stated, "From tomorrow, outside cultivators are prohibited from entering White Pebble Beach, or else all factions will unite against them... Does everyone agree?"
At this point, others fell silent, are you planning to become the leader of the martial world?
Master Sumiao did not wish to lead the opposition, as Master Wanyang had exempted those who had already arrived, which was satisfactory. However, Ji Buseng was not easily swayed, "Uniting all factions is fine, but... shouldn’t Mountain Master Feng say this himself?"
"Mountain Master Feng’s intent is for no outsiders to enter," Master Wanyang replied solemnly, "If anyone feels the Crimson Phoenix Sect shouldn’t take the lead, then we can elect someone or establish an Elders Council, I’m supportive of either."
"I’m just curious," Yue Qing spoke up, holding pride without offending those of higher ranks, he wasn’t afraid of confronting sect cultivators, "Why can Jinwu Sect’s external cultivators come, but not those from Yuangang Sect?"
"Jinwu Sect’s cultivators are under my management," Master Wanyang responded proudly, "I have agreed to guard White Pebble Beach for thirty years, and Jinwu Sect’s cultivators coming to White Pebble Beach for the similar energies must pay Spirit Stones."
Paying Spirit Stones... Hearing this, everyone felt more balanced, and Master Qingya asked, "How are the payments made?"
"Starting from the Pill Formation stage, three hundred spirit stones per day," Master Wanyang certainly did not mention commission, "This is merely the fee for the similar energy opportunity, other costs remain as usual."
"Not expensive," Yue Qing stated directly. He had friends in prominent sects, but only a few, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so isolated within his sect. So he had no need to curry favor with them, "If it were up to me, such a rare opportunity would cost at least a thousand spirit stones a day."
He spoke from the perspective of a Kunhao cultivator; no one could fault him for it.
But Master Wanyang was momentarily stunned, thinking, a thousand spirit stones a day? However, upon further reflection, she realized she had been considering the matter incorrectly, focusing solely on securing benefits for her fellow members, rather than viewing it from an outsider’s perspective. This is a similar energy opportunity, capable of boosting the Pill Formation chances. Is a thousand a day truly expensive?
Master Xiaodong composed his expression and earnestly asked, "If a True Immortal from my Taixu Sect were to preside, could Taixu also send people?"
"Of course, by paying the fee," Master Wanyang replied solemnly, "However, the True Immortal must be at Golden Core Peak and agree to guard White Pebble Beach, otherwise, why would Mountain Master Feng extend them any favors?"
