Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2116 - 2118: Strange Intent

True Immortal Wan Qing felt quite complicated as he placed his junior brother into the Spirit Beast Bag.

This wasn’t just a matter of the True Immortal’s dignity, but also a safety concern... What if Feng Jun wanted to harm Wu Nan?

Generally speaking, this was absolutely impossible, as long as Feng Jun didn’t lose his mind completely, he wouldn’t do such a thing.

But the reason common sense is common sense is because the world is never short of surprises.

True Immortal Wan Qing introspected, regardless of the kind of surprise, as long as something unexpected happened and affected True Immortal Wu Nan, today’s actions would really let down everyone who trusted him.

So even though he trusted Feng Jun, he still secretly made a little modification to the Spirit Beast Bag—this was unrelated to trust, but rather driven by a senior brother’s sense of responsibility towards his junior brother.

He believed that even if Feng Jun found out, he wouldn’t be angry—practitioners on the Cultivation Path, who can shirk responsibility?

The little modification didn’t affect the big picture, it was just a mark capable of inducing slight spatial fluctuations, just a simple positioning.

He could sense that Feng Jun had taken the Spirit Beast Bag to Qiuchen Market.

However, his thoughts did not follow through; projecting thoughts over such a long distance, he couldn’t quite control the strength, and after all, the spiritual energy here was different from Tianqin, and his thoughts being detected by Feng Jun would be inevitable awkwardness.

So, for him, knowing the approximate location was enough, unless he sensed some ominous sign, he planned to intervene.

But in the next moment, his face darkened, "Hmm?"

"Hehe," came the light laugh of True Immortal Yi Jue, because it was through thoughts, only he could hear it, "The positioning mark is lost, isn’t it?"

True Immortal Wan Qing wasn’t surprised either, the modification he made was very hidden, but True Immortal Yi Jue was a level higher than him, he didn’t believe he could completely hide it from her.

So he cupped his hand towards the direction of the Nascent Soul Pedestrian, "I’m just concerned about my junior brother, Fairy Yi Jue must also understand. However, I’m a bit curious, how can the Fairy be so sure the mark was lost?"

"Because I’ve done this kind of thing too," True Immortal Yi Jue replied without hesitation, she didn’t hide her actions at all, "The first time was purely out of curiosity, the second was out of dissatisfaction... Before reaching the stage of Out-of-Body, I don’t want to try a third time either."

True Immortal Wan Qing was a bit surprised, "So you mean, the two times you also didn’t succeed?"

True Immortal Yi Jue’s response was a bit nonchalant, "If it weren’t for what happened yesterday, I could understand you claiming ignorance, but now you still haven’t figured it out? His power over space and time can even erase the Domain Curse... How strong do you think your mark is?"

True Immortal Wan Qing cupped his hand again, his expression a bit embarrassed, "Actually, I also think there’s a high possibility of the mark having an issue, but since our fellow sect members entrusted me with their lives, as a senior brother, I can’t just do nothing, right?"

Yi Jue didn’t criticize him but rather expressed understanding, "I know your intentions, so I didn’t hint to him unless your mark could cause significant fluctuations, threatening spatial stability... But fortunately, the ability you demonstrated didn’t exceed my calculations."

Am I being... looked down upon? True Immortal Wan Qing felt a bit humiliated, what does ’but fortunately’ mean? However, he didn’t dwell on it but instead earnestly asked, "Does Mountain Master Feng always like to do this?"

"It’s not about whether he likes it or not," True Immortal Yi Jue answered bluntly, "It’s that he must do it. Including me, everyone thinks his concerns are well-founded, and his handling appropriate... Wu Nan acquiring some other auras will only be beneficial to him."

"I can understand that too, it’s just out of concern for my junior brother," True Immortal Wan Qing said with a worried look on his sunny face, "Actually, I made the positioning, also to be able to help Mountain Master Feng in case he encounters trouble."

"He doesn’t need your help," True Immortal Yi Jue shook her head expressionlessly, "Under the stage of Out-of-Body, it’s difficult for anyone to kill him unless he falls into an ambush."

"Under the stage of Out-of-Body..." True Immortal Wan Qing was initially shocked, then thoughtfully looked at her, he was, of course, very aware of Fairy Yi Jue’s cultivation level, "Even you can’t?"

Yi Jue shook her head, having witnessed firsthand how Feng Jun killed the True Immortal Wen Dao, and knowing very well his extraordinary accomplishments in space, which was not just about instant travel.

It’s just that such privacy, she wouldn’t mention, so she could only say, "The probability of an ambush is fifty-fifty, but he, being a master of divination, if I harbored malice, do you think he wouldn’t sense it?"

True Immortal Wan Qing remained silent for a while, then started laughing, "Fairy Yi Jue wanting to ambush, the methods to obscure heavenly secrets must be amazing... Alright, I understand your point, our Jinwu Sect will never repay kindness with enmity, definitely not making a move against him."

Initially, he thought Yi Jue was trying to speak for Feng Jun, intimidating him a bit, thinking, aren’t you being too protective of Feng Jun? But really, there’s no need, am I that kind of person?

Immortal Yi Jue understood his meaning: So you think I’m boasting on behalf of Feng Jun?

Faced with such a misunderstanding, her aloof nature flared up, and she couldn’t be bothered to explain... I’ve said what I needed to say, if you misconstrue it, it’s not my concern.

Wan Qing saw her remain silent, which only reinforced his speculation.

Feng Jun, with a pleasant scene, retreated directly from the Qiuchen Market to the Earth Realm. The pleasant scene was used to this routine, looked around, confirmed they returned to the Earth Realm, and muttered softly, "Oh, it’s raining?"

"I summoned it," Feng Jun said casually, then took out his mobile phone and swiped it, nodding with satisfaction, "As expected, these markings are really easy to erase."

He already knew that the Jinwu Sect had tampered with the Spirit Beast Bag. With his cultivation level, he probably couldn’t sense this, but the Stone Ring had already advanced to four rings, and those secretive markings couldn’t escape the Stone Ring’s deductions.

He didn’t think it was a big deal because, after all, the Jinwu Sect is one of the Seven Upper Sects. Wanting to control the situation as much as possible is a typical mindset of an Upper Sect. Just like in the Earth Realm, someone once dismantled a loyalty test Formation from Luohua.

Feng Jun was a bit displeased, but he was very familiar with the logic of those in higher positions, especially those without much restraint. They like to test things out first—it’s completely normal.

If you don’t test, how do you know if you can control the situation? What if the experiment succeeds?

In the past, Feng Jun would have been very concerned about such things, but as he grew stronger, his tolerance for these matters increased. He felt that as long as the measures weren’t malicious, it wasn’t a big deal to tolerate them a little.

And these positioning methods are truly harmless—after all, when someone entrusts you with a Nascent Soul True Immortal inside a Spirit Beast Bag, isn’t it normal to have a bit of doubt?

The next moment, his expression turned a bit blue, "This... why does it feel like there are some mysterious causal lines on this Spirit Beast Bag?"

He swiped his phone again, confirming that the Nascent Soul Aura was not exposed, and since he had personally witnessed Wu Nan being placed into the Spirit Beast Bag, then... where’s the problem?

The Stone Ring is already very powerful, but... it truly can’t deduce causal lines.

Feng Jun decided to set this matter aside for now. Since he brought Wu Nan here to cleanse the aura, there was no way he could return immediately; at least three to four hours had to be delayed.

Initially, he thought about doing some yoga with Teacher Mei to pass the time, but now with this uncomfortable feeling, he suddenly lost interest. So he took out some dried fruits and beer, "Let’s enjoy the rain, I quite like the rain."

Teacher Mei, having been with him for some time, saw this drizzling rain and knew what kind of inappropriate ideas he might have had, but hearing his tone now, she instantly realized something was wrong.

She picked up a bottle of beer, opened it, drank for a while, and then a thought popped into her head, "Boss, is there any trouble?"

This was the "thought transmission" method mastered by the Luohua people. Including Zhang Caixin, no one could achieve external thought transmission, so they could only repeatedly condense their intentions in their minds, hoping that Feng Jun would notice.

Of course, Feng Jun noticed. Within this space, how could he not sense Teacher Mei’s divine sense fluctuating intensely? He smiled and spoke out loud, "Nothing, I originally wanted to exercise on a rainy night, but then I thought it wouldn’t be good if Zhong Lijing found out."

The pleasant scene, being highly sensitive, grew more vigilant after hearing this but still smiled and said, "This late at night, would Xiao Zhong come over?"

Feng Jun then sent out a divine sense, "Xiao Zhong is coming over, Teacher Mei is back, let’s have a drink together... understand, just having drinks. I suspect Chief Lin and the others have installed new equipment."

"New equipment... aren’t they done yet?" Zhong Lijing had just returned to the villa and hadn’t even had time to dry her hair. Upon hearing this, she also "used the thought," complaining in discontent, "Leaving no room for privacy."

"Come over for a drink," Feng Jun also didn’t want to explain too much. The actions of Beauty Lin and the others had indeed brought much confusion to the Luohua, so it’s fair for her to take the fall, "This kind of weather is perfect for drinking."

Zhong Lijing turned around and left without hesitation, but when she saw Teacher Mei giving her a signal with her eyes, she knew something was wrong. Her intelligence was also sharp, and after hesitating for a moment, she spoke aloud, "Brother Jun, Teacher Mei is also here, are we okay?"

"Let’s enjoy the rain," Feng Jun raised the beer bottle for a sip, picked up his mobile phone for a swipe, and spoke calmly, "I’ve told you, just drinking... No need for overthinking at such a young age."

"But I’m a bit cold," Zhong Lijing sat down and leaned into the pleasant scene’s embrace, "Teacher Mei is warmer... hmm, feels much better now."

As she spoke, above the Alxa League, there was a spatial fluctuation, and a thought emerged, "Is this... another Nascent Soul appearing? It doesn’t quite feel like it, oh, it’s actually Spiritual Energy awakening?"
