Big Data Cultivation

Yue Qing's request sounded similar to those of the disciples from the Taiqing and Crimson Phoenix, wanting to provide a better cultivation environment for their disciples.

However, Feng Jun didn't think so. If he truly calculated the strength of the Nine Heavens Fierce Wind, each corresponding area wouldn't only benefit one person. Interpreting one area would benefit a group of people, which... wouldn't be very appropriate.

His interpretation work for the Taiqing and Crimson Phoenix disciples was always one-on-one, and the charges were also one-on-one. How would one calculate a one-to-many case?

Moreover, he wasn't confident in short-term success in discerning the distribution of the Nine Heavens Fierce Wind. Perhaps with some time, he might achieve it, but he had never contemplated this type of matter, and it wasn't possible for him to ponder it in the short term—there were so many matters for him to attend to daily.

So he shook his head decisively, "I'm sorry, I can't do it."

Yue Qing squinted his eyes slightly, "Why can't you do it?"

Such a question wasn't really polite, but considering that it was asked by a true master, it wasn't entirely disrespectful.

"Can't do it, do I need to say why?" Feng Jun laughed, "If I could do it, then I would need a reason. Why can I do it? Why can't I? Reasons are everywhere."

His answer wasn't exactly respectful, but Yue Qing didn't mind, continuing his pondering, "Then I'll ask another question... Does Mountain Master Feng have any experience with completing cultivation techniques?"

Upon hearing these words, Qu Jianlei and Master Yuanming both stood up, unleashing their auras.

Qu Jianlei was well aware of Feng Jun's ability to modify cultivation techniques. He even knew that Mountain Master Feng was currently tailoring a set of techniques for a former partner—not only custom-tailored but also quite innovative.

Master Yuanming didn't know about this incense cultivation technique, but Feng Jun had modified the "Yang Thunder Scripture" for Tang Shixun, and this was no secret in the Taiqing Sect—ordinary disciples might not know, but how could the Master of Tianyao Peak be unaware?

He sneered coldly, "Completing a technique... I'm not mocking you, but can you afford those Spirit Stones, Yue Qing?"

Feng Jun didn't ask for anything from Tang Shixun, nor did he make demands on Sun Rongxun, but that doesn't mean completing cultivation techniques is an easy task—such a business starts at a minimum of a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Strictly speaking, the work for Tang Shixun and Sun Rongxun was targeted or specialized adaptation—this skill is precious, involving few people, and is invaluable to the individuals concerned, but it doesn't have universal applicability.

However, completing a cultivation technique is different, as it is universal. With the release of such a technique, how many people could benefit?

Perhaps not many people benefit at present, but it's a cultivation technique—in perhaps tens of thousands of years, someone will still benefit.

Can you compare them? You really can't. Customized techniques are undoubtedly expensive, but universal ones... they're priceless.

The reason why people think universal cultivation techniques are cheap is simply that too many people have diluted the cost.

But Yue Qing clearly prepared this question in advance. Seeing the two stand up, an intense pressure suddenly emerged—not suppressing them, but hanging in the air.

And he himself sat there steadily, still exuding an air of calm and composure, speaking with a half-smile, "Well, it's strange that the two masters don't consider the feelings of the host here?"

Everyone turned to look at Huang Fu Wuxia upon hearing these words.

Huang Fu Wuxia smiled and waved her hand, "Master Yue is on good terms with our patriarch. I just happened to be visiting the Qinggang Sect. If you masters have any matters, you can discuss them slowly. After all, this is still the Mortal Realm."

Feng Jun also sat there steadily, seemingly unperturbed.

Master Yuanming had already stood up and naturally would not sit down again. He glanced at Yue Qing, "Don't try to provoke me with words. I know the Qinggang style quite well. I came personally because I don't trust Mountain Master Feng."

Yue Qing didn't even look at him but instead turned his gaze to Feng Jun, speaking with great interest, "It seems Feng Xiaoyou has his own judgment."

Feng Jun asked calmly, "I wonder what the name of the cultivation technique that Master Yue wants me to interpret is?"

"It's not a well-known technique, don't let them mislead you," Yue Qing said with a smile, "It's a technique involving a Spiritual Qi Whirlwind called 'Echo for Three Days'."

"Forget about techniques," Feng Jun flatly refused, "It involves various methods of exerting force and spiritual energy manipulation. I don't want to get into trouble."

Yue Qing shook his head, laughing, "It's a Dharma we obtained from another plane, there won't be any issues."

"Don't believe him," Master Yuanming said coldly, "The reputation of Qinggang has never been good."

Feng Jun shook his head, responding seriously, "It's not about reputation; mainly, I don't want to involve myself with other families' techniques. It's strictly prohibited by my sect."

Yue Qing didn't seem to get upset; instead, he chuckled, "Quite opinionated."

Then he assumed a more serious demeanor, "I have another item here that I'd like to ask Feng Xiaoyou to help interpret."

For some reason, Feng Jun had an intuition that the other party's endless prattle and two interpretation requests were actually just a cover-up for this third condition—this request should be their true motive.

Moreover, he had already refused the master two requests, and if he declined again, the other party wouldn't take it well.

So he glanced at Huang Fu Wuxia, found her face expressionless, then slightly nodded, "Let the Master first take it out for me to see. It might not be accurate."

Yue Qing, however, knew well in his heart how powerful Feng Jun's divination was. Just as Feng Jun thought, the first two conditions he set were indeed what the Qinggang originally needed, but they also had a probing intention.

Especially the second condition, he had only heard rumors that Feng Jun possessed such an ability. Once he saw Master Yuanming and Qu Jianlei both getting anxious, how could he not realize that Mountain Master Feng truly had the skill to perform cultivation technique divination?

Yue Qing was not skilled in divination, but he had heard his master comment on it, saying that a true expert in divination would inevitably dabble in cultivation technique divination.

So he nodded succinctly, "It doesn't matter to take it out, but... I ask everyone to step aside for a moment."

"That's impossible," Qu Jianlei refused without hesitation, "Protecting Mountain Master Feng is an honored task entrusted to me by the Crimson Phoenix Zhi Zhang, it cannot be affected just because you say so."

He originally intended to say "Path Protection task," but saying that would make Feng Jun's importance indisputable, so he temporarily changed it to an honored task.

But even that "honored task," Yue Qing's eyes lit up when he heard it, then he composed himself and cupped his hands towards Master Yuanming, "Friend Yuanming, this is a personal matter of mine, it's inconvenient for you to watch. If you leave now, I'll owe you a favor."

Master Yuanming disdainfully snorted, "Your favor... is it worth much?"

"How about this," Qu Jianlei spoke up, "Mountain Master Feng can divine the item from across the courtyard wall. How about Master Yue sits in the courtyard, and we go out with Mountain Master Feng, divining across the wall, what do you think?"

Yue Qing helplessly smiled, "Of course that's fine, you guys are really wary of me."

Master Yuanming knew this guy was provoking again, but he couldn't be bothered to engage—it's just letting your mouth have a moment of satisfaction.

Feng Jun glanced at Huang Fu Wuxia, slightly curious, and asked, "Even Chairman Huang Fu's Treasure-Appraising Eye can't identify it?"

Huang Fu Wuxia nodded, but before she could speak, Master Yue interjected, "She has already assessed it and couldn't identify it."

"Then please excuse everyone for a moment," Feng Jun spoke expressionlessly, "I won't leave, let's see what it actually is."

Qu Jianlei was a bit anxious, "Mountain Master Feng, you don't need to stay on site..."

Feng Jun smiled and casually replied, "Master Yue is also a high-ranking practitioner, he should have this level of grace."

Before Qu Jianlei could say more, Liang Chao spoke up, "Uncle, then we will step back."

He actually led a group of Qinggang Sect disciples out of the courtyard—as if even Qinggang Sect members had to avoid watching.

Master Yuanming silently left as well, yet subtly locked his energy onto Liang Chao's group.

Seeing this, Qu Jianlei also had to leave, similarly locking his energy onto King Liang Tian and his group, and it was particularly obvious—if this Yue guy dares to strike at Feng Jun, don't blame me for bullying your juniors.

The Qinggang Sect trip consisted of three significant figures, and Liang Chao had the most outstanding combat strength. If the three of them really went all out, Master Yuanming might not be able to hold them down immediately, but if Master Qu joined, there would be no unexpected incidents.

Everyone gradually exited the courtyard, leaving only three people inside—Master Yue, Huang Fu Wuxia, and Feng Jun.

Once the courtyard door closed, everyone stared at each other without wanting to speak, and the two masters couldn't extend their divine sense to sense anything.

After a while, Yue Qing's leisurely voice came from the yard, "I heard Mountain Master Feng has a Paralysis Talisman from his sect with him?"

This information was actually known to everyone present. Whether it was the three major sects or the Tiantong Commercial Alliance, they had all experienced that battle.

However, Qu Jianlei and Master Yuanming still frowned, both knowing Yue Qing's innate arrogance. The more he asked such questions, the more likely he was inclined to test it.

In fact, Yue Qing was indeed a bit curious. His arrogance was ingrained, and since everyone left, he hadn't spoken but had been sizing up Feng Jun—he did not release any intimidating aura, though.

But after all, Feng Jun is someone from the Earth Realm. He didn't have strong hierarchical concepts, not to mention he had his own support, and didn't mind being scrutinized by the other—he naturally gazed at his opponent.

Yue Qing observed for a while and felt puzzled, was this guy really not afraid of him?

So he couldn't help but ask—do you think having a Paralysis Technique makes you powerful?

Feng Jun blinked his eyes and answered ambiguously, "The talisman, my sect gave me more than just the Paralysis Technique."

He didn't want to provoke the other, but the reason he insisted on staying in the courtyard, besides curiosity about the object, was also not wanting the other to underestimate him—momentum is quite a subtle thing.

Since there might be dealings with the Qinggang Sect in the future, he couldn't appear weak in his momentum.

Yue Qing hesitated for a moment before laughing lightly, "Indeed, a self-confident young man."
