Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2080 - 2082: There Are Always Idiots

The disciple’s words were not meant with malice; many people are trying to inquire and speculate about Mountain Master Feng’s origins, which remain a mystery to this day.

However, everyone unanimously believes that simply considering this person’s possession of an enormous amount of mortal goods, he is likely not a native of Kunhao.

Yet, in terms of the trajectory of his growth, even if Mountain Master Feng is not a native of Kunhao, he is still one of the Kunhao people. His cultivation and karma are all tied to Kunhao.

For instance, comparing him to Feng Yishu highlights a fundamental difference — Feng Yishu enjoyed the resources of the Qinggang Sect.

Even if the Feng Family provided some subsidies to Qinggang, the fundamental cultivation techniques of Qinggang are unique to the sect.

And what about Feng Jun? He fundamentally presents as a loose cultivator; regardless of whether he has a sect behind him, everything he possesses has been attained through his own efforts. Even those who have objections to Feng Jun cannot claim he has taken any undue advantage of Kunhao.

Or perhaps, when he forms his Nascent Soul, he might take away some spiritual energy from Kunhao, but what he is doing now has already benefited many of Kunhao’s cultivators, so there is no question of him taking advantage.

In summary, he is undeniably a cultivator of Kunhao, mysterious origins notwithstanding.

That afternoon, the representatives of the seven major factions gathered in Feng Jun’s estate to discuss how to allocate the Golden Core opportunities. Previously, the people of Mountain Master Feng had merely watched as they negotiated among themselves, but now they finally stepped forward to take charge of the order.

The discussion wasn’t particularly long, but the fundamental tone was set, even becoming the operating standard for White Pebble Beach in the future.

Strictly speaking, there was also an eighth major faction present, the Pine Cypress Peak Yan Family. The Yan Family did not occupy any of the six geodetic veins, but... can’t they borrow Feng Jun’s earth veins?

Yan Yuxi was originally about to return — after successfully forming her Golden Core and stabilizing her realm, she intended to return to Pine Cypress Peak to hold the Golden Core celebration. This place was merely borrowed temporarily; the grand ceremony would naturally be held at the clan’s location.

She invited Feng Jun to attend this celebration — after all, she had come to congratulate Feng Jun’s Golden Core celebration, so there should be reciprocity.

But Feng Jun pointed to White Pebble Beach with a wry smile, "You see how many people have formed their Golden Cores here, right? Is it appropriate for me to attend only your celebration and not theirs? If I did that... would I still have time to cultivate?"

Even among cultivators, there should be normal social interactions, but... he really couldn’t manage it all.

Yan Yuxi felt somewhat reluctant, but Feng Jun’s reasoning was undeniably strong, so she had no choice but to give up. When she heard that Feng Jun planned to tidy up the order at White Pebble Beach, she still stayed to listen to their discussions — her Golden Core celebration was three months away as well.

Her participation wasn’t meaningless, as she contributed an idea on how to form Golden Cores in a small area without affecting nearby cultivators. The Yan Family had experience participating in the construction of cultivation caves in over a dozen markets, and they had some expertise in this matter.

In fact, even the Jinwu Sect was somewhat inferior to the Yan Family in this regard — not due to a lack of reserved knowledge, but because ordinary disciples didn’t need to master it. After all, in a sect system, there’s no shortage of spirit land and caves.

In fact, Pine Cypress Peak also didn’t lack caves — strictly speaking, on the Kunhao Plane, no faction’s frequency of forming Golden Cores could compare to White Pebble Beach. Even the once-thriving Xuanhuang Sect couldn’t sustain such a Golden Core atmosphere.

But constructing market caves was different; those cultivation caves were quite concentrated, though relatively simplistic, they indeed had unique characteristics in isolating disturbances.

With her suggestions, everyone discussed again and came up with a plan: by adding formations and isolation methods to each of the six geodetic veins, it could essentially ensure four to five people could simultaneously form Golden Cores.

Do not underestimate this suggestion; based on such calculations, the six geodetic veins could accommodate more than twenty simultaneous Golden Core formations.

Feng Jun hadn’t had time to react when the Earth Spirit had already begun exclaiming in his sea of consciousness, "Don’t, Boss, this won’t work, each geodetic vein can only accommodate three, at most twelve in total, no more than twelve... or else the geodetic combination won’t take it!"

Twelve... is not bad, Feng Jun explained to the people present, and everyone expressed understanding.

After discussing this matter, Taiqing and Qinggang focused on another matter, that is, how to manage cultivators from outside domains.

Master Wanyang had already conveyed Feng Jun’s intentions, but everyone still hoped to hear an authoritative answer.

There’s nothing much to say about this matter; Feng Jun had already made a decision, a clear explanation would suffice. The key point he emphasized was that even if there was a designated person in charge, and arrangements made, they still had to report to White Pebble Beach before closing up to form a Golden Core.

Even Master Wanyang from the Jinwu Sect couldn’t skip these steps, as it related to the unified arrangements at White Pebble Beach.

At this time, though, Master Wanyang proactively asked, "Then can the Golden Core formation order at White Pebble Beach be managed using a system? I’ve heard this system is known for being just and transparent."

"I’ve thought about that as well," Feng Jun looked at her curiously, "It seems Wan Yang friend is quite familiar with this system?"

"I’ve heard them talk about it," Master Wanyang replied with a smile, indicating she had done her homework thoroughly.

"The Daoist Nie Shang recommended it strongly, and our sect is already examining it. However, I’m a bit curious... This system comes from White Pebble Beach, yet Mountain Master Feng hasn’t considered using it. Why not? Is there a compelling reason?"

"Indeed," Feng Jun nodded. "Originally, I wanted to use it too, but to achieve fairness and transparency, some privacy must be sacrificed. When arranging the Golden Core rankings, we must reveal true identities... Can everyone accept that?"

A few Jinwu disciples’ expressions changed slightly upon hearing this. Spending some Spirit Stones isn’t much to them, but revealing one’s identity in the lower realm during the Golden Core stage is somewhat embarrassing.

Moreover, what if someone harbors ill intentions? As Jinwu disciples, who hasn’t made a few enemies? To say it bluntly, even if there are no enemies outside, who can guarantee there are no conflicts with fellow disciples?

"What’s the issue?" Master Wanyang seemed quite indifferent, saying, "What you’ve decided is the rule. Those who can’t accept it can choose not to come... You’ve set a rule to ’kill one to save another’; what’s this compared to that? Are you worried you can’t maintain order?"

These words... truly hit the mark! Feng Jun found himself speechless for a moment. Only then did he realize he wasn’t concerned about anything else; he was just anxious, fearing he couldn’t uphold the rules.

Actually, his rule of "kill one to save another" was borrowed from others’ ideas, and he even had a bit of a mischievous attitude. Personally, he might not have thought of it, but he adopted it casually.

He once thought he understood the kind of arrogance involved in this statement, but after hearing Master Wanyang’s words, he fully realized: he hadn’t considered what kind of pride one must possess to make such declarations.

Would someone who dares to set such rules care about privacy?

Even if privacy might bring some trouble, so what? If you’re up to it, don’t acknowledge it, don’t come.

Feng Jun felt he truly hadn’t grasped that kind of innate arrogance—he had always been of a "cautious development" mindset.

However, learning it now is not too late. Of course, he had to be a bit pretentious, "I just wanted what’s best for everyone. White Pebble Beach can manage the list internally. Since you all don’t care, neither do I."

"We do care," a Jinwu disciple couldn’t help but comment.

"The matter is settled," Feng Jun replied without hesitation. "Why, does your Jinwu Sect still have objections internally?"

The speaker reacted out of instinct, and upon realizing Master Wanyang’s status within the sect, his face turned a shade paler—Was I too full? Why am I speaking so quickly?

"No objections," True Immortal Wan Qing finally made the decision, ignoring the thoughts of the younger disciples below, feeling that this approach seemed fair, and agreed straight away, "Mountain Master Feng has developed this management system, and I’ve heard it’s quite nice."

With such endorsement, there would hardly be any objection. After all, now in White Pebble Beach, besides the recluse Yi Jue, he possesses the highest cultivation level. Even if Taiqing and Qinggang might disagree, why didn’t their representatives come down?

Before nightfall, the discussions were practically concluded, and everyone dispersed.

However, today, many people were eyeing the seven... eight major forces. For instance, the Dantai family was incredibly envious—the Yan Family was part of the discussion, but it had nothing to do with the Dantai family?

Moreover, previously Yan Yuxi enlightened the Golden Core at Feng Jun’s manor, while the Dantai family wasn’t qualified to enter the Six Harmony Earth Vein. This disparity is truly unbearable.

At this moment, space rippled, and seven or eight individuals revealed themselves. Two of the leading figures were True Immortals, one of whom was the head of the Enforcement Hall—this is the Enforcement Hall chief of the entire Dantai family, also a clan elder, at the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer.

Elder Dantai’s face was iron-blue, "Where is Feng Jun?"

"Right ahead," one with significant opinions toward Feng Jun in the Initial Golden Core Stage spoke up, "They’re setting rules again, excluding our Dantai family."

Elder Dantai had a pretty severe temper, but truth be told, in such a large family, those without temper wouldn’t stabilize the chief position. Upon hearing this, he snorted coldly, "Where is he?"

Actually, before coming, he had already understood the general situation of White Pebble Beach—being in charge of the Enforcement Hall, how could he not grasp such details? But you, Feng Jun, despite being prominent, you must adhere to some rules, right?

However, did the one at the Initial Golden Core Stage know? He pointed forward, flicked his wrist, and released a Yellow Beam, "Feng Jun, come quickly and pay respects to the elder of the Enforcement Hall!"

"Stop," Elder Dantai shouted, but it was slightly late, as the one at the Initial Golden Core Stage didn’t attack but released a Talisman—a Talisman, perhaps too eager for success, a shocking Talisman!

Using a shocking Talisman to notify someone is theoretically fine, but it carries a strong provocative tone, at least filled with the mindset of a superior.

The outer part of Feng Jun’s manor trembled suddenly, but as the shaking started, a white beam rose from the manor, splitting the sky toward the Dantai family, "Courting death!"

(Didn’t intend to write it so foolishly, but reality does encounter such situations, shrug... Alright, early in the month, time to request guaranteed monthly votes.)
