Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2121 - 2123: In High Demand

Without hesitation, Wu Nan answered the Supreme Elder’s question, "He managed to cultivate a fellowship aura on his own land."

"Fellowship aura?" You Xuan was surprised and calculated a bit with his hand raised, nodding slightly, "It indeed exists, and Jinwu disciples have benefited from it as well. Make sure to manage it well, and don’t wrong that young friend."

He is one of the few in Jinwu’s higher-ups who pays significant attention to fellowship aura. In fact, those who underestimate fellowship aura are mainly Nascent Soul True Immortals, while Emergence Stage cultivators are quite attentive to it—the Golden Core Masters are truly the cornerstone of the sect.

However, the attention is relative to his cultivation at the Emergence Stage, but even expressing some interest is already quite rare.

Manage well and don’t wrong... Wu Nan could only smile wryly, "Supreme Elder, that is the industry of young friend Feng himself."

"Hmm?" You Xuan Supreme Elder was momentarily stunned, thinking how the benefits in the lower realm are unknown to be contested—are these still the Jinwu disciples I know? However, he quickly came to realization, "So, have the other six gates also taken notice?"

"A bit," Wu Nan Master replied bravely, "But for now... it is still controlled by Daoist Friend Feng."

"This is quite interesting," You Xuan Supreme Elder smiled, "Has Xuanhuang sect been there?"

"They went, but couldn’t seize control," Wu Nan replied honestly, "In that domain, basically no one can provoke him."

"That is intriguing," You Xuan Supreme Elder nodded, raising his hand to drop a fist-sized purple metal piece, "A reward for you. Come back some time to tell the Supreme Elder more about this person’s story."

After saying this, he vanished into the air, leaving Wu Nan ecstatic, bowing towards the sky repeatedly, "Purple Sand Golden Essence, thank you, Supreme Elder, thank you again, thank you thrice, Supreme Elder..."

He’s advancing to Nascent Soul Middle Phase, lacking only a suitably-sized piece of Ten Thousand Refined Purple Ink Gold besides removing the curse.

This item is available in the sect’s treasure vault but is quite rare and expensive, and Wu Nan planned to exchange a piece after removing the curse—if it couldn’t be removed, there’s no point in buying this luxury item.

And Purple Sand Golden Essence is an even higher-grade item than Ten Thousand Refined Purple Ink Gold, using it during advancement not only makes the foundation steadier but also may cultivate the Jinwu Dharma Body before reaching the Emergence Stage.

Anyway, just from chatting for a while with the Supreme Elder today, he received such a reward, making him both happy and surprised.

After leaving the back mountain, Wu Nan True Immortal spent quite a time selecting from the sect’s exchange board, exchanged for some materials, assigned a few tasks, and then descended directly to Kunhao Chi Feng Sect via the sect’s passage.

He greeted the guarding disciples with a nod, barely turning to leave when someone called out loudly from behind, "Wu Nan True Immortal, hold on, I’m heading to White Pebble Beach too, take me along."

The caller was Guan Hongxiu; her Golden Core celebration was held together with Nie Chifeng, and it already happened over ten days ago. She wanted to apply to go to White Pebble Beach and almost fought with Nie Chifeng over it again, but was eventually persuaded by others.

Nie Chifeng indeed had her own tasks; she was forty years older than Guan Hongxiu, and if she still wanted to form a Nascent Soul, she really needed to hurry—reaching Golden Core at her age and still hoping for Nascent Soul, sounded a bit unrealistic, but she was Nie Chifeng!

Nie Chifeng and Guan Hongxiu were both top talents of the Crimson Pheonix Sect in the past, only encountering misfortune later making it impossible to form a Golden Core, not due to a lack of aptitude.

If both had formed their Golden Core at over two hundred years old in the past, then over two hundred years later, completely possible to try forming a Nascent Soul, they would be around five hundred years old now, and still have a chance at seven hundred and fifty!

So Nie Chifeng’s current task is cultivation—while also protecting Xia Nichang, who is in seclusion nearby.

Her and Feng Jun’s cultivation in the Chaos Kanli Secret Technique isn’t a secret among the Crimson Pheonix higher-ups, so every year disciples go to White Pebble Beach for deductions, she escorts them—serving both public and private purposes.

Guan Hongxiu, relying on her youth, went to White Pebble Beach to be a bodyguard for Feng Jun first, regardless of whether the sect counted it as a task—she was someone who kept her word!

Yet, how could the Crimson Pheonix not count it as a task for her now? Feng Jun is extremely sought after, anyone who can interact with him sees their worth multiply a hundredfold, as exemplified by Mei Jiushan—not to mention the former oil foreman Du Wentian, who is now highly popular.

Du Family is just a small clan under the jurisdiction of Mingsha Fang Market with two Emergence Stage individuals; now the clan has gained three Emergence Guest Elders, and at White Pebble Beach, even disciples of the Four Great Sects treat them with politeness.

Du Wentian may not have much to say in front of Feng Jun, but once a certain Emergence disciple from the Gongyang Family argued with him for a bit, Yan Yuxi happened to pass by and reminded, "Du Shang isn’t a heavy voice in front of Mountain Master Feng, but speaking ill still carries weight."

Ever since this message spread, no one dared to boss around Du Wentian in White Pebble Beach anymore.

The Crimson Pheonix Sect is very aware of the current situation at White Pebble Beach and can hardly refuse Guan Hongxiu’s request. Especially since Crimson Pheonix was the first to show goodwill to Feng Jun and has been cultivating at White Pebble Beach the longest; Jinwu Sect noticed early on too. With such a great advantage, how could they possibly give it up?

When the two arrived at White Pebble Beach, a Nascent Soul True Immortal from the Dantai family happened to come to Feng Jun’s courtyard to pay respects to the landlord, with a very courteous attitude. He also apologized again for any past offenses and incidentally talked about potential future cooperation, without any hint of coercion.

Of course, there was no coercion, only a display of goodwill, not that he didn’t want to change the current situation.

Strictly speaking, the Nascent Soul Old Ancestor wasn’t too willing to come. He had heard about Feng Jun and knew he wasn’t someone to be trifled with, and supported improving relations with White Pebble Beach. But why drag him into it? Don’t Nascent Soul True Immortals deserve dignity?

However, this was Dantai Yuhu’s insistence. Despite her being only at the Golden Core Eighth Layer, she held quite a high status in the family. Many Nascent Soul True Immortals were willing to listen to her because it was generally acknowledged that she had a high reputation among other families and could consistently recommend reasonably sound advice.

Nascent Soul True Immortals tend to be well-read and knowledgeable, but being well-read and knowledgeable doesn’t necessarily mean having high emotional intelligence. Many powerful True Immortals prefer to let their magical treasures speak for them because understanding people’s hearts is exhausting; it’d be better spent cultivating.

While Dantai Yuhu’s work efficiency was recognized by many True Immortals in the Dantai family. There were times when her judgment was more accurate than that of the family’s Nascent Soul Old Ancestors. So later on, the family’s Old Ancestors were willing to delegate most tasks to her.

This Dantai True Immortal was no exception. Although he didn’t want to come, he heard that Yuhu "strongly suggested" it, so he made the trip—after all, coming casually is less stressful than being directly responsible for affairs at White Pebble Beach.

He was a little skeptical in his heart, but still followed Dantai Yuhu’s arrangement—after all, with Yi Jue True Immortal in the manor, he couldn’t do anything else, so his attitude was very amiable, and his tone was friendly.

While the two were chatting, Wu Nan True Immortal arrived. Seeing another True Immortal from the Jinwu Sect showing great respect to Mountain Master Feng, this Nascent Soul Old Ancestor felt a sense of relief: what Yuhu said was indeed correct, Feng Jun truly needed to be taken seriously.

He chatted for a while longer before taking his leave, and Wu Nan True Immortal came forward to solemnly express his gratitude to Feng Jun, also indicating the admiration from the Supreme Elder of his sect.

Regarding the invitation as a Guest Elder, he estimated Feng Jun wouldn’t agree, but it was ultimately the Great Supreme’s goodwill, right? He needed to convey it.

As expected, Mountain Master Feng expressed that he was busy with business, and during this training, he had many tasks to complete. He feared he wouldn’t have the time to be a Guest Elder at Jinwu Sect. Of course, he appreciated the trust placed in him, but regrettably, it really wasn’t possible.

Wu Nan True Immortal wasn’t interested in listening to these polite remarks; after all, the ultimate intention was "not going." He, too, had mingled at the bottom of society and knew how to focus on the key points. Yet, this time he noticed another key point—Mountain Master Feng was training.

Essentially, while rejecting, he conveyed: I belong to a sect, and our current cooperation is fine as is, why stir up further trouble?

Wu Nan felt no disappointment, then he stated, "The night after tomorrow, I’m hosting a gathering at the Crimson Pheonix Courtyard to celebrate having fully eradicated the curse. It’s inappropriate to broadcast this outside, so I won’t invite the heads of Crimson Pheonix. Let’s just have a small gathering among those in the know."

Feng Jun readily agreed to this request; he couldn’t attend Nie Chifeng and Guan Hongxiu’s Golden Core celebration due to being overly occupied. But he couldn’t turn down an invitation from someone right at his doorstep—it’d be too disrespectful.

He invited Yi Jue True Immortal to join him, but she refused, saying Solitary Tree Forest Technique had already entered its final verification phase, and she wanted to make use of this time to complete it.

Indeed, she’s not an idle gossip, leisurely eavesdropping all day. Besides keeping track of local developments, she’s actively working on other theoretical deductions. She may be a homebody, but she’s definitely not lazy.

Even without her company, Feng Jun didn’t feel that visiting the Crimson Pheonix Courtyard was particularly dangerous. Yet, he only took Yun Buyao with him, showing that he indeed had a bit of favoritism.

Yun Buyao is currently at the peak of Qi Refining Fifth Layer and could ascend to the sixth layer anytime. Of course, today’s gathering consisted of True Immortal Masters, so her cultivation level was indeed a bit low. However, she wasn’t overwhelmed—White Pebble Beach was full of Masters and True Immortals, making even heroes commonplace.

Wu Nan truly didn’t pull any stunts, he merely hoped Feng Jun would be able to help him with calculations before his breakthrough, since You Xuan Great Supreme had made additional refinements to his body.

No doubt, it’s an opportunity he isn’t afraid to mention, but it’s certain to affect his previous breakthrough plans.

Feng Jun hesitated before asking, "But my trips to Tianqin aren’t on a fixed schedule. Last time, I conveniently gave it to you, but I can’t every time; I might visit again soon, but the timing isn’t fixed. If you can wait, hold on a bit."

"No problem," Wu Nan True Immortal replied without hesitation, "I’ve been startled quite a bit recently, and I’m actually planning to rest at White Pebble Beach for a while to stabilize my emotions; it won’t hurt to wait a few days."

Wan Qing True Immortal covered her mouth and laughed softly, looking at Feng Jun with bright eyes, which made him feel a bit of a chill down his spine.

At that moment, the mind of a peak True Immortal descended, "Feng Jun, I’ve finally completed the deduction, and now it’s time to verify it at Tianqin."
