Big Data Cultivation

As Feng Jun wrote more, inevitably, he got into a dispute with Xia Nichang.

Master Nichang believed that some of his thoughts were too far-fetched, not in line with reality, and needed revision.

However, Feng Jun absolutely refused to accept such an assessment, let alone make changes, so he argued with her based on reason—what a joke, I discussed this with the Big Boss for the entire night, okay?

Xia Nichang considered her attitude towards Feng Jun to be unprecedentedly good, and she was amazed by his various ideas, but she really didn't think he could surpass her in theoretical foundations.

As if my distinguished over six hundred-year-old Golden Core is a fake Golden Core?

She also didn't rely on power to suppress others; the points where we have disagreements can be discussed—all's fair in debate!

In these points of debate, Feng Jun won thirty percent, and it wasn't that he couldn't win the remaining seventy percent, but rather his theoretical basis was too advanced.

That's right, when he was deducing the cultivation technique with the Big Boss, the Big Boss wasn't using the perspective of the Golden Core Stage, but… never mind, it's already quite boastful, so there's no need to say more.

However, after the Big Boss explained to Feng Jun, there was also a request, saying that the point of our debate was a bit beyond the syllabus—if someone asks you, absolutely do not say it out loud, this is not knowledge that Kunhao Plane can grasp.

This shows that the Big Boss was still very sincere with him, not minding letting him grasp more advanced skills.

Of course, maybe it was because it hadn't had anyone to talk to for too long and wanted to chat more.

Regardless, Feng Jun was only able to confront Master Nichang head-on after thoroughly understanding these contents.

However, here's where the problem arises, he wanted to argue based on reason, but as he spoke, he would end up mentioning things he "couldn't say."

Feng Jun expressed… I am really desperate, clearly knowing a lot, also knowing I'm right, but just unable to say it.

Yet, the more Xia Nichang argued, the more spirited she became, although Feng Jun often refuted her, that was just a "small probability" event; most of the time, she was able to make him "speechless."

See, we don't rely on cultivation level to bully people, playing by theory, you're still quite far behind—realize your own shallowness yet?

Xia Nichang hadn't debated with anyone in a long time; originally, there weren't many on this plane who could engage with her as equals, and for an intermediate cultivator like Feng Jun, meeting her once could be brag-worthy for years.

For example, Sun Rongxun, as a member of the Crimson Phoenix Hall of Honor, with status and cultivation level not lacking, hadn't seen her in over a century.

However, Feng Jun was ultimately different; he had ability and ideas—at least solving the Fire Marrow Pill compatibility was an issue even Master Nichang hadn't resolved.

She regarded him as a "genius," someone she could ignore cultivation level to converse with equally—such people weren't common, but not nonexistent either; she was willing to communicate with them.

In fact, Feng Jun didn't disappoint her, not only presenting novel ideas but also occasionally able to refute her.

Being refuted by a junior, she naturally felt embarrassed, but since his arguments were reasonable, she wasn't someone unreasonable, so she had to accept it—you can't allow any falsehood in cultivation discussions.

Fortunately, most of the time, her knowledge prevailed.

It was precisely because of this that she initially only thought about "paying attention" to him, but by the end of the debate, she actually had a good impression of him—winning an argument with you really brought a sense of achievement.

Feng Jun couldn't argue back and couldn't provide fitting theoretical basis, which was truly frustrating to the extreme.

In the end, Xia Nichang herself sorted out a set of theories—using Feng Jun's pencil, she nodded with a smile, "The thousand Spirit Stones spent, well worth it… I'll give you a protective talisman; if anyone dares to bully you, mention my name!"

The protective talisman was not an Imperial Token, identifying status was secondary, the key was that it contained a drop of her essence blood, which could save his life at a critical moment—like the Essence Blood Protection Talismans Feng Jun gave to disciples.

It was evident then, Xia Nichang's impression of him was really outstanding, so much that Sun Rongxun was stunned—could this be the long-lost descendant of the Great Supreme?

Honestly speaking, Feng Jun's heart… really didn't want this talisman, not because it wasn't good or tempting, but because the high-rank practitioners of this plane had too many methods, he didn't dare take it.

In terms of individual martial strength, he's basically unrivaled in the Earth Realm now, but this plane had many powerhouses—like this Xia Nichang, he hadn't heard of her before, and she claimed to be "not among Crimson Phoenix Nine Golden Cores."

In the end, he decided to keep the Golden Core Talisman but gave her another glance, "Thank you, Master Nichang, please make sure that uh… that idea, doesn't spread."

"I'll be using it myself," Xia Nichang replied with a smile, then glanced at Sun Rongxun, "It's okay to let her use it, right? Little Sun, I'll be paying attention to your cultivation from now on."

Sun Rongxun was deeply moved, bowing three times, "Thank you, Great Supreme, for your support; I will definitely not let you down."

"Wait a moment," Feng Jun lightly cleared his throat, speaking seriously as he pocketed the Essence Blood Protection Talisman, "Master Nichang, it's good that you won't spread it, but as for Sun Rongxun's matter, leave it to me."

"Why must it be handed over to you?" Xia Nichang looked at him, puzzled. "This is a disciple of my Crimson Phoenix Sect, I can tutor her just fine."

"She cannot use the things you've documented," Feng Jun replied directly, "Her plan was devised by me, I'm responsible for her, so just leave it to me."

"She must use the experience I've summarized," Xia Nichang looked at him and answered proudly, "You have some ideas, but young man, your experience is still lacking, and in cultivation technique deduction, there are many errors and inadequacies."

Feng Jun rubbed his forehead in frustration, he truly didn't know how to explain, "The cultivation technique I deduced is actually quite good."

However, Xia Nichang didn't like hearing this. Though she acknowledges its worth, she feels he shouldn't stubbornly insist without reason, so she spoke expressionlessly, "And the relationship between the Lesser Yang Channels and Ziwu Current… you also consider there to be no errors?"

Feng Jun pondered for a moment but still answered hesitantly, "Regarding this issue, Master Nichang… perhaps we can discuss it when you reach the Emergence Stage?"

Hm? Xia Nichang was instantly bewildered, hardly believing her ears: What did you say… wait until I reach the Emergence Stage?

Then she understood, looking at him in amazement, "Is this told to you by some Emergence Stage adept within your sect?"

Feng Jun gave a wry smile, what could he say?

The atmosphere on-site became rigid for a moment, as if someone had pressed the "pause" button, exceedingly bizarre.

Xia Nichang's beautiful eyes continuously surveyed Feng Jun: Does your house have any Emergence Stage adepts?

In fact, merely the four words 'Emergence Stage adept' wouldn't have been enough to make her lose composure to such an extent. Though the Crimson Phoenix Sect doesn't have any cultivators at the Emergence Stage, in a higher plane, there are Emergence Stage cultivators within the sect. She had heard many things during her travels to other planes.

What shocked Xia Nichang was that Feng Jun could receive guidance from an Emergence Stage adept.

As one of the top figures in the Crimson Phoenix Sect, she understood the mentality of high-rank practitioners towards low-level disciples exceptionally well—even for the most outstanding disciple, until a certain level is reached, there's no possibility of garnering attention.

This time she paid attention to Sun Rongxun's cultivation not for the person himself, but to observe the operation of new cultivation techniques.

Feng Jun himself is at the Mundane Stage, separated by major realms such as the Golden Core and Nascent Soul from an Emergence Stage adept.

This is equivalent to a being in the Mundane Stage having direct communication with the Golden Core Stage, or Qi Refinement Stage interacting with the Nascent Soul Stage.

The cultivation levels are so widely apart, maintaining any communication is practically impossible; even in clans that value kinship, the same holds true—supposing Huang Fu Flawless while pampered in the clan, dared to disturb Ancestor Huang Fu during the Mundane Stage.

What startled Xia Nichang most was: Feng Jun, what virtue or talent do you possess to receive guidance from an Emergence Stage adept?

Thus, her disparaging thoughts subconsciously retracted. Seeing that he still remained silent, she spoke again to inquire, "Are you sure it is the perspective of an Emergence Stage adept? Could you perhaps resolve some doubts?"

She still had some disbelief in his words, as the possibility had far exceeded her imagination.

It's not merely the Emergence Stage adept, alright? Feng Jun again smiled wryly, "About this… I'm truly sorry. On the Kunhao Plane, some knowledge cannot be divulged, I ask for Master Nichang's understanding."

"I understand this," Xia Nichang nodded without hesitation, knowing that cultivation sects naturally place significant emphasis on confidentiality, and in the Crimson Phoenix Sect, most cultivation techniques are fixed, originating from inheritance in the Higher Realm, making any issue unlikely.

Even if there's knowledge not generally mastered at the Golden Core Stage, it's solidified within various cultivation techniques, requiring no special explanation—in other words, Crimson Phoenix disciples during cultivation cannot comprehend all the details of every cultivation technique, knowing their function without knowing their reason.

Yet this is normal; the vast majority of people cultivating wouldn't know the origin of every phrase in a cultivation technique.

However, this time was different, as Feng Jun presented a completely new cultivation technique—or philosophy, requiring meticulous attention to every aspect of cultivation, hence causing many disputes.

Xia Nichang perceived herself as a top figure on the Kunhao Plane, qualified to evaluate and modify cultivation techniques.

Nonetheless, when Feng Jun asserted that the intricacy of the cultivation technique was verified by an Emergence Stage adept, she—a mere Golden Core—didn't have the adequate grasp of associated information, plus he adhered to the principle of "information lock," she could indeed understand.

But precisely because of this, she developed numerous curiosities… and dissatisfaction.

After some thought, she inquired, "Since you say this, was your lack of response earlier not because my questions stumped you?"

When asking this, she felt full of disappointment but also not devoid of anticipation.

Feng Jun could only continue to smile wryly, responding vaguely, "Therefore, in matters concerning Sun Rongxun, it would be more appropriate for me to handle them."

Is this avoiding the question? No, he had already provided an answer.
