Big Data Cultivation

Feng Jun always held a grudge against the Yinsha Sect, the sect had given him too many unpleasant impressions.

Currently, the order at White Pebble Beach is well-maintained. Although many hunters come here hoping to earn the bounty of "five thousand spirit stones for a corpse, ten thousand spirit stones for a live capture," this actually isn't easy money—there are too many people protecting Feng Jun.

Compared to the protection Feng Jun receives at White Pebble Beach, the cultivators at the Shifang Platform face far more challenges.

The crucial reason for this is that Shifang Platform has a bounty on Feng Jun, while Feng Jun has placed a bounty on the entire Shifang Platform!

Feng Jun may not have that many spirit stones, but... he has the ability to deduce! As long as he's alive, this ability will continue endlessly.

The bounty from Shifang Platform is indeed high, but it's only targeted at Feng Jun personally—killing others brings no reward.

Such a bounty system is theoretically more reasonable—if you want to make big money killing, don't consider unexpected factors; if you can earn this money, you earn it, if not, then consider it a waste. We only look at the final result.

Can two sects plus Tiantong not protect a single person?

Anyone entering White Pebble Beach without permission—or even those loitering nearby—has been captured, making it easy to protect Feng Jun.

So these two bounties were unequal from the start—without the support of the two sects and the protection of numerous masters, Feng Jun should choose a dignified way to die. But with the support, the dangerous ones are the disciples of Shifang Platform.

Feng Jun originally thought that this model could be perfectly applied to the Yinsha Sect, but reality proves he oversimplified.

It's not that anyone with a skill can command others with impunity.

Shifang Platform accepted defeat but did not accept sending Golden Core-level attacks against Yinsha Sect—it's definite that Yinsha influenced our masters to violate rules and take action, but that's a matter between us and Yinsha. We'll resolve it ourselves.

For this, Da Meng Executor even pursued the accountability of a certain Golden Core at the platform—the master was angered by the harm to two fellow disciples and posted a bounty against Feng Jun in the task hall. Considering he did it out of indignation, the Executor ordered him to retreat in seclusion for a hundred years.

Even a temporary worker is a Golden Core-level temporary worker, a reasonably justified explanation.

Master Dameng still had a reason, saying we initiated the Wutai Alliance Oath for this matter. If we send Golden Core assassins against the Yinsha Sect, the masters of the other four platforms might consider participating, which would complicate things.

This reason is actually an excuse, but having said so, others are not particularly clear on the details of the Wutai Alliance Oath—even if they are clear, it leads to endless arguments.

Yinsha Sect was also not convinced, and as soon as Tiantong posted the bounty against Yinsha, someone notified those targeted by the bounty.

So Yinsha exploded with anger, and Master Jiusha directly contacted Tiantong Commercial Alliance's headquarters: When did you qualify to post bounties on the Four Great Sects? Do you not wish to do business with Yinsha anymore?

Tiantong tried to explain, saying it's at the client's request, and then realized a problem: Yinsha hadn't placed a bounty on Feng Jun!

In the hierarchy of discrimination, Wutai's status is slightly inferior to the Four Sects, but it's generally impossible for ordinary people to place a bounty on Wutai at Tiantong.

The reason Feng Jun could have a task posted was, aside from being able to provide Tiantong with a large number of products as a premium partner, a key point was that Shifang Platform first posted a bounty on him; he retaliated proportionally, so Tiantong supporting him wasn't an issue.

As Tiantong itself is Shifang Platform's opponent, arguing that Shifang Platform's actions were undercutting Tiantong, this was hard to state outright.

And although Yinsha Sect boldly claimed they would deal with Feng Jun, since there wasn't a bounty, Feng Jun couldn't retaliate similarly, making Tiantong's actions seem excessive—just a mere commercial alliance, who gave them the guts to put bounties on the Four Great Sects?

Besides the public postings, Tiantong Commercial Alliance has the so-called secret postings—private bounties.

But Feng Jun's bounty couldn't even be listed on the secret postings because the Four Great Sects have something similar to the "Wutai Alliance Oath," called the "Four Sects Consensus." When someone conspicuously harms the interests of the Four Sects, the Four Sects unite against them.

If Tiantong could list the Yinsha Sect on a secret bounty today, couldn't they list Crimson Pheonix Sect tomorrow?

Tiantong realized this issue and specially entrusted Huang Fu Youdao to inform Feng Jun: Sorry, it's not that we don't want to help you, it's truly impossible to list it.

Even Xia Nichang, who returned to White Pebble Beach, expressed: Yinsha's reasoning is well-chosen, even I, Crimson Pheonix, must acknowledge it.

However, Master Guyue, who returned together, stated: It's okay, just that those riffraff won't be able to get involved in this matter, I can't speak for Taiqing or say all Golden Cores support you, but I will go hunt a Golden Core High Stage one.

He briefly softened his stance, giving Master Qianshang's credit to Xia Nichang, and now hasn't secured his own deduction quota.

Fortunately, Xia Nichang too is straightforward, saying if you want to hunt a Yinsha Golden Core, just let me know. For both public and private reasons, I'll assist you.

Many people were disappointed with the resolution of this matter, notably Ji Buseng was most dissatisfied, but since things were as they were, he said he too could go hunt the Yinsha Golden Core.

Feng Jun also felt somewhat helpless, simply deciding: You hunt yours, I'll also go hunt the Yinsha Golden Core!

Of course, everyone opposed him personally taking action, just like last time when he went to the Ten Directions Platform to stir up trouble. But Feng Jun believed that in the world of cultivators, relying on others is not as reliable as relying on oneself. To earn respect from others, the key is to have your own strength.

Having high-level analytical skills is certainly impressive, but ultimately, you still need to be able to fight.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt awkward to persuade anymore. When it comes down to it, it's their lack of support for Feng Jun. Whether Taiqing or Tianxin Platform, they could only participate in this matter in a personal capacity, unable to drive their entire sect to oppose the Yinsha Sect.

Only the Crimson Phoenix Sect expressed willingness to exert their full force to support Feng Jun.

However, although Feng Jun is significant to Crimson Phoenix, he himself is not included in the Crimson Phoenix sect, and is neither a patron nor a guest elder.

In this situation, all the Crimson Phoenix Sect could do was send more experts to fight, and try to protect Feng Jun during the battle. Expecting the entire sect to go out grandly to crusade against Yinsha is unrealistic.

In fact, Feng Jun also does not hope for too much support from Crimson Phoenix. He wishes to use his own strength to carve out a piece of the sky.

The big bosses strongly support his idea. In fact, when this group of experts returned to White Pebble Beach, the strength of White Pebble Beach became somewhat excessively terrifying. Of course, what White Pebble Beach fears the most are Xia Nichang, Gu Yue, and Yue Qing.

Thus, on the second night after the experts returned to White Pebble Beach, Feng Jun quietly disappeared.

By noon the next day, someone came with a confirmation token from Tiantong's bounty to ask Feng Jun for an analysis, only to be shocked to find that Feng Jun was nowhere to be found. Upon hearing about this, Qu Jianlei was immediately dumbfounded... How could a person disappear right under the noses of so many experts?

He first went to find Xia Nichang, knowing her Divine Sense perception is very powerful.

But even Great Supreme Xia looked bewildered, "Disappeared, how is that possible... I secretly set up a few warning arrays myself."

"I also set up warning arrays," Qu Jianlei said helplessly. Of course, the two of them set up warning arrays mainly to prevent someone from quietly approaching Feng Jun, but Feng Jun should have also been alerted if he went out.

While everyone was speculating, Mi Yunshan took out the note left by Feng Jun, "Gone to seek revenge, will make up for the lacking analyses when I return."

Upon learning Feng Jun wasn't captured, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief, but Master Gu Yue couldn't help but complain, "Isn't this a bit too irresponsible of him? With so many experts around, why not take at least a couple along?"

"Having too many people can cause distraction," Ji Buseng retorted blandly, "You all continue to discuss, I will also take my leave."

Gu Yue knew he was dissatisfied with his previous arrangements, and for a moment, didn't know what to say.

"Pack up, let's head out too," Xia Nichang was also somewhat speechless, Feng Jun, aren't you a bit too capricious?

Then she turned to look at Yue Qing, "Are you interested in hunting the Yinsha Golden Core cultivators?"

"Not going," Yue Qing shook his head and answered straightforwardly, "I'll help guard White Pebble Beach and protect my disciple."

Summer Nichang's face darkened, "Aren't you considering that Feng Jun might face extreme danger?"

"He's not a child," Yue Qing, decisive in his actions, spoke unhurriedly, "Since he didn't invite me to help, he surely has his own confidence, why should I meddle?"

Summer Nichang was left speechless by his response, let out a cold snort, and turned away.

Soon after, Ji Buseng and Sumiao left together, Master Gu Yue and Xia Nichang also departed, followed quickly by Qu Jianlei and Master Xiaomeng, finally even Huang Fu took his leave.

At White Pebble Beach, only Master Xiaodong and Yue Qing remained. Initially, Master Xiaodong wanted to leave too, but with Yue Qing here, he felt somewhat uneasy, so he stayed.

Why did Feng Jun leave in a hurry? Because the three dormant cultivators, including Hanpo, started moving, seemingly in the direction of Yinsha Sect...

The three didn't use the transmission array but flew by flying boat, presumably fearing their tracks might be revealed.

Feng Jun worried that once these three return to Yinsha Sect, it would be uncertain when they would emerge again, so he didn't want to wait any longer.

There are a lot of experts here at White Pebble Beach, but calling upon two might lead to entanglements, and during discussions, the timing could be delayed. It was better to go directly for the kill.

Anyway, the big bosses said, he and they together going is enough to deal with those three, there's no need to beg for help from others.

Feng Jun followed their tracks to the outskirts of Mingsha Fang Market, rested for half the night, and after daybreak, directly left via the transmission array. If someone paid attention to his movements, they would know his transmission direction was Yinsha Sect.

When he arrived at the Jumu Market Town, he exited the transmission array and bought some things. Upon reaching Linhai Square Market, he also stopped to purchase some Linhai local specialties, but did not linger at other transmission arrays.

The last place he disappeared was at the Rong Mountain Square Market near Yinsha Fang City. Because he rushed all the way here, it wasn't long after he left Rong Mountain Square Market's transmission array, when seven or eight Eminent Scholars from Yinsha Sect hurried over to investigate and collect lingering traces.

At this moment, there was another wave in the transmission array, and it was Qu Jianlei and Master Xiaomeng from Crimson Phoenix Sect who had arrived.
