Big Data Cultivation

"Well, he's certainly an idiot," Lin Heihu nodded after hearing Feng Jun's words, but then he hesitated. "In that case, if I kill him and absorb his vitality, it seems it wouldn't harm my karma."

"Don't," Feng Jun waved his hand and said with a smile, "Being an idiot is enough. This guy is even wanted by foreign Evil Gods."

"Do we care about that bounty?" Lin Heihu replied dismissively, "If he killed my people, shouldn't it be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?"

Feng Jun was at a loss for words and then gave a thumbs-up, "Good one, I really admire you!"

In truth, he wasn't coveting the bounty; he just thought maybe the Yin Spirit Bigwig could help identify it. But Lin Heihu's bold words made him really appreciate the man, "Alright, hold on with the refining… let me show you something else."

He first collected Keane's body into the Spirit Beast Bag to prevent the leakage of energy, which could affect the medicinal properties.

Then, he took out a paper scroll on the creation of Holy Water, "Take a look, see if there's anything worth referencing?"

The text on the scroll was in Latin. Expecting Lin Heihu, with his thousand-plus years, to understand it was unrealistic. However, aside from the text, there were a few rudimentary drawings. Besides… Feng Jun could interpret it, even if he was looking at a machine translation.

Machine translation surely isn't accurate, let alone precise, but it doesn't prevent him from outlining the general idea. Combined with the few drawings, he grasped about seventy percent of it, "I think it's worth referencing… but the details need further scrutiny."

Actually, he didn't plan to bring out the schematic of the Holy Water so early — at least not before accurately translating it and correcting any intentional errors Keane cunningly included. In reality, there were only two major errors.

Feng Jun wasn't really in a position to judge if other details were wrong, but… he had Keane's memories.

However, Lin Heihu's statement struck a chord with him, so he brought it out directly. Worst case, they'd all discuss and modify it together, and others would probably guess it's not his original work anyway.

As for modifying cultivation techniques, does that count as a challenge for Feng Jun?

Lin Heihu stared for a long time before speaking unintentionally, "Boss, thank you… I've finally found my development direction. This thing is perfect for me."

Feng Jun actually thought the same, or he wouldn't have shown it to him — it was just a draft, to be brought up for discussion, isn't it embarrassing?

He nodded with a smile, "It's quite rare to find such a fit, but… might you also turn into an Evil God?"

Lin Heihu pondered for a while before slightly shaking his head, "No, I'm originally an Earth Deity, born to protect a region's land and water. If my ideas aren't right, the Heavenly Dao would warn me, even if it's currently fractured."

Feng Jun sighed, "Having a big boss behind you makes a difference, huh? So even cultivation has a system."

At that moment, he was genuinely a little envious. Having merit on one's side, even if the support is unreliable, they still get some guidance and warning. In contrast, Loose Cultivators have to constantly figure things out for themselves, facing much more hardship.

"This…" Lin Heihu hesitated for a moment but still pointed at the paper scroll in Feng Jun's hand, "Can you let me study it? There were many Earth Deities back then, and I was among the thoughtful ones."

"I know you're thoughtful," Feng Jun smiled, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have discovered Luohua's shortcomings in Martial Cultivation, but… you'll have to wait until I finish translating, right? For now, the priority is to refine this guy's incense fire as the right path."

As he spoke, he threw out Keane's body, which was still barely breathing.

Honestly, he didn't really trust Lin Heihu's level in cultivation technique deductions, though he wasn't familiar with Incense Fire Ascension either, but… he had his own tricks.

However, he wouldn't disregard others either. The saying 'sharpening a stone from another mountain can polish jade' was something he understood and consistently reminded himself of — don't get too arrogant. The Lin Family Body Tempering Technique offered by Lin Heihu had already taught him a lesson.

Lin Heihu thought about it and realized it made sense, so he nodded, "I'll trouble Elder Feng to do the translation then."

What Feng Jun needed to do went beyond just translating. If not for the lingering aura of the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit on him, he would surely discuss with the Yin Spirit Bigwig whether turning faith into reality was really a good idea.

Then, obediently, Lin Heihu went to digest his meal while Feng Jun contacted Li Shishi — to quickly translate the Latin text.

Li Shishi said, I'm no longer responsible for this, it's been handed over to the newcomer Liang Siyu.

Heaven knows, Feng Jun hadn't paid much attention to the three newcomers at the manor lately — they're friends anyway.

Wait… Liang Siyu really is new, never seen before, neither Wang Haifeng's wife nor Xu Leigang's spouse.

Liang Siyu indeed handled such tasks, and she hadn't been around long, but she had some understanding of Luohua's operations. Moreover, she was quite familiar with the Internet to begin with — just translating some Latin, no problem at all.

In terms of internet knowledge, even Zhang Caixin couldn't quite compare to her.

She had seen Feng Jun a few times, remembered him, but as for him remembering her — to be realistic, possibly not much at all.

Yet, she wouldn't get upset over it anymore — Luohua is really impressive, and five thousand dollars a month is worth it.

Considering income and expenses each month, compared to her – they really aren't on the same level.

However, when she heard that Feng Jun was coming to assign a task, she felt a bit nervous inside—could she really communicate with such a godlike creature face to face?

Zhang Caixin knew her well, understanding that her friend was quite particular about looks. Seeing her in such a state, she couldn't help but remind her, "That's my man, Xiao Yu, just get the task done and don't get flustered."

But… how could Liang Siyu possibly not be flustered? She liked young men—something influenced by the prevailing environment, but at the same time, she also liked strong, straightforward men.

Strong, straightforward men give women a sense of security, something young men just can't offer.

In other words—only women who already feel safe enough will prefer younger men.

So, the saying goes, most women who like young men are older women, and that's… quite true.

To put it simply, Liang Siyu didn't want to betray her friend's trust, but at the same time, she had expectations for this meeting—Elder Feng was not only tall and handsome but also had an exceptional aura, undoubtedly meeting both the standards of a young man and a strong, straightforward man.

But she never dreamed that upon meeting her, Feng Jun would frown at first sight, "Why…"

In the end, what was going on? He didn't elaborate, simply saying decisively, "Forget it, this task is not suitable for you; let's have someone else… Is Li Shishi here? Come by the small courtyard."

Li Shishi, rather unwillingly, came over, "Boss, didn't I already get an assistant? Why are you still squeezing me?"

"Help find someone to translate this," Feng Jun handed her the paper scroll, speaking flatly, "Figure out what language it is yourself. This is a cultivation technique; it needs to be translated meticulously, understand?"

Li Shishi instantly understood, and any discontent in her heart dissipated immediately. Matters of cultivation technique, it was certainly better for her to handle it, so she asked with a smile, "Is it urgent?"

Feng Jun thought for a moment and replied firmly, "Of course, the sooner the better."

"Aye," Li Shishi groaned, "I was just starting to feel like I could rank up, but… a foreign cultivation technique?"

She was a bit puzzled, were there cultivators among foreigners too?

After all, it was an unprecedented situation, so she didn't think much more and went to contact a translator.

However, Liang Siyu felt quite uneasy. She could guess a bit about what cultivation techniques meant, but didn't necessarily think she would immediately get involved. Feng Jun originally intended to assign it to her but changed his mind after meeting her.

This left her very puzzled and even a bit humiliated, prompting her to find Zhang Caixin and voice her complaints.

Zhang Caixin was also puzzled, and after carefully inquiring about the whole ordeal from Liang Siyu, couldn't figure out what the "why" could be about.

Now she was feeling a little anxious but didn't directly ask Feng Jun. Instead, she comforted her friend, "Since it's a cultivation technique, it's good you're not directly handling it for now. Eventually, I'll have to consolidate all the cultivation techniques, so I'll ask him when there's an appropriate time."

Actually, Feng Jun didn't mean anything else; he just noticed… Liang Siyu bore a resemblance to his ex-girlfriend, especially in profile.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Liang was much more beautiful than Zhang Yunzhen, and also younger.

Feng Jun had already moved on from Zhang Yunzhen, but hadn't forgotten the feeling of betrayal, so upon noticing Liang Siyu's appearance, he subconsciously changed his mind—cultivation techniques are no small matter, and he didn't want to experience betrayal again.

Once again, don't easily test people's hearts.

After arranging the matters properly, he began contemplating the method of condensing holy water—it was essentially absorbing faith, and then, through a formation quite different from the Daoist sects, gradually transforming it into holy water.

As he pondered, Lin Heihu was also contemplating, and in the blink of an eye, an entire night passed.

Seeing the time reach nine in the morning, Feng Jun did not rest and teleported near the Jansen family again.

It was still raining here; Feng Jun looked around, realizing Sofia wasn't around and knew she had gone to the county's church, so he flew away through the skies.

He arrived outside the church, and using a nearby "jade," quickly pinpointed Sofia, then sent a piece of divine sense and transmitted a thought, "I have arrived, just across the road from the church."

Sofia was reading a book when she was suddenly hit with the thought, startling her so much that she dropped the book on the ground.

Stunned for a while, she looked around and asked in a low voice, "Is it… you, Feng Jun?"

"Of course, it's me," Feng Jun transmitted another thought, "Alright, you can bring your mobile phone and iPad."

Sofia glanced at the phone and iPad beside her and couldn't help but murmur softly, "No privacy at all."

Despite her words, she quickly gathered her things and came to the courtyard, opening the door of a car.
