Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2122 - 2124: Cultivation Technique Deduction
Immortal Yi Jue has always been straightforward in her actions, even when dealing with the Crimson Pheonix Courtyard, she is just as direct.
But Immortal Wu Nan’s eyes lit up with joy as he asked, "Can we go tomorrow then?"
"Well..." Feng Jun hesitated for a moment and then nodded slowly, "Maybe we can."
"I’m not in a hurry," Wu Nan was still easy-going, "a few more days of rest wouldn’t matter, the aura still feels unstable."
"On days like this, it’s best not to schedule in advance," Feng Jun replied with a smile, "unexpected happenings in space-time teleportation can be problematic if word gets out."
Immortal Wan Qing snorted coldly upon hearing this, "Who dares?"
He knew the dread of unforeseen incidents in space-time teleportation, but this was White Pebble Beach, involving too many forces. Who would dare to mess with the space here? "Do they think I have no dignity?"
Seeing his clear attitude, Feng Jun couldn’t help but cough lightly, "I meant to say we should restrict the spread, just in case... what if Immortal Yi Jue wants to make some improvement tomorrow?"
He was actually speaking the truth. Disrupting space and the like seemed unlikely to him, for one simple reason: cost. To consistently disrupt a specific space would require a tremendous cost.
The fact was, he understood Yi Jue very well. Knowing that this palace-attired beauty looked like a cold and lofty fairy, within she was quite a scatterbrain, once focused enough on something, her attention would sharply decline as soon as a challenge was about to be met.
However, in reality, she might make some unwarranted mistakes in details—non-decisive ones purely out of carelessness that wouldn’t affect the result. So she could always patch them up in time.
Feng Jun had suffered because of this habit of hers more than once or twice, so he instinctively felt this time Yi Jue might not have a perfect plan either—even now she might be modifying it.
He knew her tendency, but how could he possibly speak of such things? Not every True Immortal could be called a fairy.
So it was quite normal for him to delay for a few days.
As it turned out, he wasn’t wrong. Immortal Yi Jue postponed for three days before confirming the plan was mature—in fact, she knew her careless nature but couldn’t change it, as soon as she made some progress, she wanted to ponder the next step.
Only before the plan review would she go back to meticulously verify the plan and identify mistakes.
After three days, the plan finally solidified, and she wanted Feng Jun to take her to Tianqin—the "Solitary Tree Forest Technique" could be used at the Outcast Stage, but to test its Nascent Soul Stage potential, only the Tianqin Plane would do; Kunhao couldn’t handle it.
Guan Hongxiu insisted on following Feng Jun to Tianqin with the simple reason that she was his bodyguard.
Feng Jun had no choice but to take all three of them to Tianqin. Qu Jianlei also wanted to follow, but Guan Hongxiu stopped him, saying one bodyguard was enough. "Last time you went to Blazing Flame for shopping and even got gifts from others, isn’t that enough?"
Qu Jianlei couldn’t out argue her and had to abandon the idea. However, the four of them entering Tianqin didn’t go to the Blazing Flame Plate, but to Yiyao.
Guan Hongxiu was a bit surprised, but Feng Jun stated very decisively, "My memories of Blazing Flame aren’t particularly pleasant, this time I am accompanying Immortal Yi Jue to deduce a cultivation technique, not wanting to be on Jinwu’s turf."
Immortal Wu Nan expressed understanding, and Guan Hongxiu had nothing more to say since even Jinwu’s True Immortals approved. What else could she say?
Just outside the suburbs of East City, Feng Jun demonstrated a promotion for Wu Nan, honestly shocked by the results—last time the possibility was eighty-five percent, this time it was ninety-three percent—"Great Supreme You Xuan really refined your body well."
These were his genuine thoughts. After Wu Nan returned to Jinwu Sect, all his metrics improved significantly.
But as for exactly what Great Supreme You Xuan did, he truly didn’t know. After all... a great figure remains a great figure.
Wu Nan chuckled and said, "He mentioned erasing the aura of the planes you took me to and said you were prudent."
Erased all aura? Feng Jun secretly nodded, knowing that after Jinwu’s Nascent Soul taught Qingping Domain’s consciousness a lesson, he felt he was being redundant and might rather expose Earth’s details.
Wu Nan left with Feng Jun’s latest deduction results. Guan Hongxiu wanted to wander around East City, but ultimately she remembered her duty, "You two go ahead and discuss, I’ll keep watch."
In fact, this wasn’t even a place for discussion, not to mention the unsuitability for technique rehearsals since this area belonged to Taixu Sect.
Yi Jue took out her scheme for Feng Jun to review—the prior deductions were all in the lower realm, after all, this was Tianqin.
When Feng Jun saw the secret technique she brought out, he was taken aback, "Not the Solitary Tree Forest?"
He was rather speechless. Yi Jue kept saying Solitary Tree Forest, yet what she finally presented was "Binding Qi to Form Gang!"
"Deducing this Dharma certainly can’t be shouted about, right?" Immortal Yi Jue casually replied. There was the Qinggang Sect at White Pebble Beach, which was an offshoot of Yuangang Sect. If the deduction failed, wouldn’t it be embarrassing? "This is what I intended to deduce from the very start."
It turns out she had prepared early on, and only kept Feng Jun in the dark. Even from the very beginning of their collaboration, she had made him deduce both secret techniques several times.
During their subsequent cooperation, Feng Jun often helped her deduce the future directions of the "Solitary Tree Forest Technique" and "Binding Qi to Form Gang", among which she asked more about "Binding Qi to Form Gang". However, her usual external publicity was: primarily deducing the Solitary Tree Forest Technique.
Feng Jun had curiously mentioned that since she mainly deduced the Solitary Tree Forest Technique, why did she ask more about Binding Qi to Form Gang?
Yi Jue’s answer was: Binding Qi to Form Gang is difficult to deduce, whereas Solitary Tree Forest Technique is much simpler.
He had assumed she was working on both threads, never thinking that her main focus was on Binding Qi to Form Gang.
Yi Jue’s competitiveness and pride are thus evident.
Feng Jun didn’t mind, he took the Dharma she deduced, carefully reasoned through it, picking out one issue after another.
Some were Yi Jue’s own errors—she truly isn’t just a little careless, having verified things yet still making mistakes, but some indeed were design unreasonableness with room for improvement.
Binding Qi to Form Gang already existed, just not powerful enough, so those logically potential details need meticulous scrutiny, and honestly, it’s also a matter of grinding.
The division of labor between the two was that Feng Jun found the possibilities for potential, and True Immortal Yi Jue filled it in; the laborious work was hers to handle.
Of course, if Feng Jun weren’t holding back, his work would be much harder than hers.
During this time of deduction, the two stayed for three days, the last day they went shopping, even while shopping Feng Jun was discussing specific details with Yi Jue, naturally, this communication was through Divine Sense.
When Guan Hongxiu was happily shopping in the stores, someone finally recognized Feng Jun and Yi Jue—their temperaments were indeed quite different, especially Yi Jue, who was the focus wherever she went.
If it were just Feng Jun, maybe someone would come up to chat, but with Yi Jue, no one had the courage to approach.
The news quickly reached the Chief Execution Mansion, but unfortunately, Moran was currently in seclusion, without response; instead, Liu Xingyu, upon hearing, actively sought them out, as usual sending some gifts to Guan Hongxiu, and invited the three to stay in his abode.
Feng Jun and Yi Jue declined Liu True Immortal’s invitation, saying they had other matters and were about to leave.
The deduction this time wasn’t considered a failure, in cultivation technique deductions, it’s like this: first deduce the framework, then deduce the details, and finally in the perfection stage, solve various conflicts and hidden dangers, improve unit output; anyone who wants to achieve it in one sweep is simply irresponsible.
Upon returning to White Pebble Beach, True Immortal Yi Jue continued her closed-door deductions, while Feng Jun also had his own matters.
More than a month passed in a blink, Feng Jun went with Yi Jue to Tianqin for two more deductions, the technique’s completion rate increased rapidly.
On this day, Taixu Sect finally sent a True Immortal to formally negotiate with White Pebble Beach about the usage of fellow cultivator’s aura.
Taixu this time sent their acquaintance, Wu Xiu True Immortal, also indicating their regard for White Pebble Beach; for Feng Jun’s conditions, Taixu fully accepted, even sent a Golden Core Peak over—this person would agree to safeguard White Pebble Beach for thirty years.
The Golden Core Peak was named Gu Bai, quite enthusiastic towards Feng Jun, even proactively expressed that he was on good terms with Moran and quite expectant of White Pebble Beach, hoping he could visit Taixu headquarters at a suitable time.
Accompanying him were several Out-of-the-Dust Peaks, clearly intending to borrow land here for forming cores.
While helping them with deductions, Feng Jun asked and only then learned, it was actually Master Xiaosong, the Immortal Second Generation, who strongly recommended to the higher-ups, particularly connecting with these Out-of-the-Dust Peaks.
Otherwise, given the disciples of these prestigious sects’ arrogance, even if the high ranks all knew the magic of White Pebble Beach, whether the grassroots disciples were willing to come was still a question—to lose face.
This situation is too common, just like in Huaxia on Earth Realm, everyone knows steel workers on construction sites have a high daily wage, but many would rather drive their own car for a ride-sharing service, like Didi, than go to a construction site to bind steel. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Is it because of fearing hardship? Not really, many just feel it’s degrading.
It’s only someone like Master Xiaosong, focusing on grassroots disciples, can coax some not-so-concerned-about-face cultivators to come over.
Seven Out-of-the-Dust Peaks came, three of whom were around 400 years old, obviously feeling hopeless on Tianqin, hence descending in search of opportunities.
Among the three, one was delayed by old injuries, his chance for forming a core was high, another had average aptitude, but Feng Jun provided a core-forming plan, plus the fellow cultivator’s aura bonus, the core-forming chance was at 63%.
The last one had average aptitude and was also hindered by old injuries, Feng Jun despite deducing could only deduce a forming core probability of 58%, so he could only regretfully shake his head, "Sorry, without a huge opportunity, it’s just 58%."
The Out-of-the-Dust Peak’s face subtly changed, "Not reaching 60%?"
