Big Data Cultivation

Sun Rongxun was overwhelmed with great disappointment, and for a moment, didn't even notice Feng Jun's question.

However, Xia Nichang heard it and reminded him, "Little Sun, Feng Xiaoyou is asking you a question."

"Oh?" Sun Rongxun only then realized, glanced at Feng Jun, and asked blankly, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Feng Jun saw she wasn't quite in the right state, understandably gave Xia Nichang a resentful look—it's all your doing!

Xia Nichang rolled her eyes helplessly: Isn't it just a regular discussion on the Dao? Look how anxious that little girl is.

Feng Jun knew it was useless to blame her, so he spoke solemnly, "The comparison between before mutation and after, this kind of deduction, you also understand, only if you give me some directions can I assist."

Sun Rongxun frowned in thought, then asked aloud, "With direction, can I… still possibly form the Golden Core?"

Feng Jun smiled and replied with that classic line, "The Great Dao of fifty, Heaven evolves forty-nine."

"True," Sun Rongxun nodded, forcing herself to rally her spirits. If I lose even this bit of resolve, what Golden Core can I talk about?

Then she turned her head to think, "When cultivating with blazing flames, it feels like the refinement is a bit slower… does this count?"

"It counts," Feng Jun nodded, you've mutated, you're no longer purely Jinwu, the fire refining speed slowed down, isn't that normal? "But that alone isn't enough."

Sun Rongxun pondered for a long while, then spoke solemnly, "I'm quite interested in poisons, especially when transformed into Falcon Swan, I like eating some poisonous snakes and such."

The Jinwu Nirvana Technique itself is not afraid of extreme poison, as long as it's not being plotted against, most poisons can be refined.

However, not fearing poison and liking poison are different.

She likes partnering with Qu Jianlei when on missions at Rongxun Hall, also because Qu Jianlei himself is a poison expert,

such relatively private matters, she's unlikely to tell outsiders, but facing Feng Jun, this Divine Doctor, if she doesn't explain clearly, she might suffer losses.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Feng Jun's eyes lit up, raising his hand to swipe on his mobile phone again.

Sun Rongxun couldn't help but look up: Started deducing again?

But Xia Nichang remained silent, her previous interruption had already upset the little girl, better keep quiet now.

Feng Jun swiped his phone twice, sat there, lit a cigarette, and smoked it, both ladies saw this and dared not speak.

Once he finished the cigarette and after a while, he finally spoke, "This matter deserves careful deduction, but I'm lacking some poison samples…"

"No problem," Sun Rongxun nodded, readily indicating, she's not afraid of him making demands, afraid only of him not making any—of course, demands like the Rongxun Drum, best left unsaid.

Her mindset had clearly adjusted, no longer bringing up whether she could form the Core, Feng Jun was relieved to see this.

But Xia Nichang then started asking, "If operated like this, is there a chance of forming the Core?"

Feng Jun smiled, "It's always good to attempt a thing or two."

She asked more questions, but he refused to speak, with a very clear attitude—everyone has privacy, right?

The two of them eventually left without getting what they wanted, while Feng Jun went back upstairs again.

"Put away the Aura Concealment Array," the big boss dejectedly said, "I also need to go into the Spirit Beast Bag, that woman's soul was strong today, less trouble is better than more trouble."

"Okay," Feng Jun nodded, but was not in a hurry to put away the Soul Nourishing Array and the Aura Concealment Array, "Senior, I am puzzled about one thing, is the Jinwu Nirvana Technique derived from the demon race?"

"Huh?" The big boss was clearly a bit surprised, "How do you know? Right… what makes you think I would understand its origins?"

Feng Jun smiled, honestly offered a bit of flattery, "The capable ones are omnipotent, with your insight, knowing this is quite normal."

"I don't fall for this kind of cheap flattery," the big boss smugly replied, "however, quite a few people do know this, looking back at the Crimson Pheonix Sect's lineage, the founding ancestor had a Golden Core partner in the Body Integration Realm."

Feng Jun pondered for a moment and asked again, "Does the process of Jinwu Nirvana have the effect of purifying the bloodline?"

"Huh?" This time the big boss was genuinely shocked, "You even know this? Or… can deduce it from the technique?"

"It's a Soul Imprint Technique, how could I see it?" Feng Jun bitterly smiled, "I was just guessing blindly."

He obviously couldn't see it. As soon as he looked at a cultivation technique, it would disappear… then the Crimson Phoenix Sect would have a perfect excuse to "invite" him away. However, guessing blindly was not exactly baseless; there was theoretical backing from Pushcraft analysis.

"As if I would believe you," the big boss scoffed disdainfully, "You've already mentioned needing various toxic substances, so you must have some preliminary results from your analysis."

Feng Jun didn't expect to deceive it, so he chuckled, "Actually, it's just me being humble. Besides, it's not necessarily a sure thing."

The big boss found this explanation satisfactory, "Hmm, being modest is right. However, the result of your analysis seems quite plausible. That little girl turning into a Falcon Swan—which naturally loves eating all kinds of toxic substances—if she nurtured with poison…"

After a pause, it exclaimed excitedly, "If the toxic substances are matched appropriately, as long as she embarks on her third Nirvana, there's a great chance of success. After all, Nirvana itself is a kind of refinement… How is your mind so quick to come up with such an operation?"

"It's not that I have a good mind," Feng Jun smiled, "I deduced it."

"Your deduction technique is really extraordinary," the big boss, despite its arrogant nature, genuinely envied Feng Jun's luck, "If this method of modifying cultivation techniques came to me before I was in danger, I would have definitely imprisoned you."

Feng Jun laughed helplessly, "Senior, speaking like this in your predicament shows a lack of responsibility."

Just that Xia Nichang alone likely poses a huge threat to you, doesn't she?

"I'm just speaking frankly; that's what honesty is," the big boss responded nonchalantly, "Anyway, I'm already in danger now… it's not even danger, more like barely surviving. By the way, you asked that little girl to gather toxic substances; is it really possible she could form a Golden Core?"

"It's definitely possible," Feng Jun answered gravely, "The difference is just the matter of probability."

When he discovered this possibility earlier, he used some toxic substance data stored in his database to help Sun Rongxun with a bit of analysis. If she used poison to nurture and form a Golden Core, the success rate was roughly between 0.5% and 3%.

If other toxic substances could be exchanged for, Feng Jun believed the probability could increase—though it's uncertain how much higher it could get.

Honestly speaking, with the condition of that owl, even a 10% chance of forming a Golden Core would be worth chuckling about.

The reason he hadn't told the other party earlier wasn't to discourage her—this was a wholly positive development. He simply didn't want others to realize how rapidly he could analyze, which would considerably increase his workload.

The big boss, however, was quite excited since it could witness a new spectacle, "By the way, the Crimson Phoenix Sect should have Jinwu Essence Blood. If she wants to refine impurities, adding a drop during her third Nirvana would be ideal."

"Oh, there's such an idea?" Feng Jun directly gathered up the Soul Stone, retracted the Soul Nourishing Array, and then collected the Aura Concealment Array, "I should mention this to them."

"This guy," the big boss muttered inside the Spirit Beast Bag, though it didn't even project its consciousness— the Golden Core Peak cultivator made it quite wary. Although it wasn't afraid of her, discovery of abnormalities would put her in a considerably dangerous situation.

Feng Jun left the room and used his Divine Sense to search, finding Qu Jianlei in Master Xiaomeng's pavilion. He promptly sent over a strand of Divine Sense, "Does your Crimson Phoenix Sect have Jinwu Essence Blood?"

Although Qu Jianlei was honing his cultivation level, he always directed a sliver of his Divine Sense to keep an eye on Feng Jun's pavilion. The Divine Sense fluctuations from Xia Nichang earlier hadn't escaped his attention either.

When he suddenly received Feng Jun's Divine Sense, it really startled him, "Your Divine Sense is actually this powerful? Jinwu Essence Blood… such matters aren't within my purview. I'll ask around for you."

Master Xiaomeng noticed his Divine Sense fluctuating and commented in surprise, "You're… exchanging Divine Sense with Feng Jun?"

"This guy's Divine Sense is really remarkable," Qu Jianlei shook his head with mixed emotions, "He asked me if Crimson Phoenix has Jinwu Essence Blood. Do you know?"

"We certainly don't have pure Jinwu Essence Blood," Master Xiaomeng answered without hesitation, "Though we might have a few drops of diluted essence… coincidentally, I can ask Xia Taishang."

Xia Nichang did not leave from the pavilion; she just set a few tables and chairs beside the Crimson Phoenix Sect's construction site, leisurely eating Spirit Fruits while holding some pages in hand, slowly analyzing them.

Receiving Master Xiaomeng's inquiry through Divine Sense, she was forthcoming and directly sent her Divine Sense to Feng Jun's courtyard once again. The brief unease she felt earlier had not completely dissipated, and now she could rightfully visit.

Surveying the small courtyard, she transmitted her Divine Sense to Feng Jun, "Feng Xiaoyou, what do you mean by asking about the Jinwu Essence Blood?"

Good grief, thankfully I reacted quickly; the Yin Spirit Bigwig in the Spirit Beast Bag was muttering repeatedly: otherwise, this level of Divine Sense casually scanning is enough to reveal the Aura Concealment Array.

"To match the analysis," Feng Jun replied casually, "According to my analysis, if Sun Rongxun uses Jinwu Essence Blood for her Nirvana, her success rate might increase."

"Pure Jinwu Essence Blood would directly burn her to ashes," Xia Nichang smiled, "Diluted, however, I have three drops, which I brought back. However, this item is exceptionally precious; could you perhaps tell me how much a drop of diluted essence might increase the success rate?"

The Crimson Phoenix Sect follows a path of pure Yang, so having Jinwu Essence Blood on hand is normal. But for a disciple who's over four hundred years old and only now possibly forming a Golden Core—using Jinwu Essence Blood does seem somewhat wasteful.

Of course, if necessary, it must be used. No Real Person in the Crimson Phoenix Sect is superfluous.

What genuinely intrigued Xia Nichang was how Feng Jun seemed to have considered everything.

No matter how universal a deduction could be, some experiences simply can't be deduced.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator asked this, she wouldn't be surprised, but someone in the early Out-of-Body Stage… how could it be possible?
