Chapter 2614: Chapter 2606: Brainstorm

Feng Jun saw the other party was a bit agitated, so he could only spread his hands helplessly, "Senior, cultivators have their worldly trials, and also their solitary pursuits. Finding your own path is the most important thing. Don’t you think so?"

"I don’t think so," Jing Ling, who hadn’t appeared recently, clearly had figured some things out, "What you do is called cultivation, for me it’s just waiting for death. Without Spirit Stones, how do I cultivate? Even if you give me the Sun-Mirroring Glass, then what?"

Feng Jun didn’t want to talk. After all, that Protective Talisman was hanging on his chest all the time. As long as he could withstand it for a moment, he had plenty of ways to handle it. Ultimately, it was because there was a Space Fleet present; otherwise, he might have already sneakily run back to Earth.

He didn’t believe that, with the strength of the Guardian, coupled with those extremely spiritual supplements, they couldn’t come up with more ways to deal with this guy.

However, thinking about it, he decided not to provoke the other party too harshly, so he sincerely expressed, "Senior, even if you stay on Mars all the time, it doesn’t mean there’s no opportunity. Opportunities are mysterious and unpredictable; who knows, you might just find life from a dead end."

Hearing this, Jing Ling was both amused and exasperated.

These days, it has indeed been pondering this abrupt fate. Gaining the Sun-Mirroring Glass for nothing is undoubtedly a great fortune, but it has only fueled its desire to acquire Spirit Stones even more—previously, it was somewhat nonchalant, as a mere Soul Body wouldn’t have much development.

So when it saw Feng Jun, it even had the urge to seize his body; this is no falsehood.

But with the Sun-Mirroring Glass, its thoughts became more complex, just regrettable that this unscrupulous guy had equipped the Small Golden Core with many good things, so it really had no confidence in taking down this little guy.

In fact, it had also reflected on Feng Jun’s words, understanding the implications—having friends over forty thousand years old and hitting a Nascent Soul sect with others was truly no small matter.

This time when it saw Feng Jun was about to leave, it took the initiative to greet him, originally a friendly gesture, still wanted him to convey a few words to that person, and finally asked when he would come again.

Who would have thought the other party would claim he would never return, giving a very reasonable explanation, its mentality finally completely exploded—If you don’t come, what do I do? Face the dark outer space silently for thousands of years again?

It is not afraid of loneliness; for cultivators, this is too common. What it fears is the loneliness of seeing no hope.

Originally, Jing Ling harbored a bit of luck, thinking the other party might be using some means to achieve some unspeakable goals—no one would willingly give away an ancient artifact, even if it’s damaged.

But when Feng Jun suggested, it should quietly wait for the "life from the dead" opportunity, it was already on the verge of explosion, "Life from the dead... what if there is no life?"

Feng Jun spread his hands, "I can’t guarantee that, right? If the opportunity is insufficient, can you blame others? I’ve done quite well."

The black mist flickered, and a mirror appeared in Feng Jun’s hand, precisely the Sun-Mirroring Glass he had given away not long ago, "Take this mirror back, I want to have a word with the Guardian, it’s been nearly ten thousand years."

Then the black mist transformed into a whirlwind and drilled into the Sun-Mirroring Glass.

Feng Jun was startled, "Is this... the Divine Spirit?"

"Of course, it’s the Divine Spirit," Jing Ling’s thoughts rang in Feng Jun’s head, "Who knows what state that guy is in after so many years... in case it turns to Demon Cultivation, for it, I’ll be a great supplement."

Isn’t this joke a bit overboard? Feng Jun muttered in his heart.

But after another thought, these two are beings of similar cultivation level, unlike me, a lower-level cultivator constantly fearing everything.

Feng Jun, wearing his mecha, leaped into the sky, raised his hand, and forcefully collected the massive seventeen-warship conglomeration into the Spirit Beast Bag, the whole process was crisp and neat, making even multi-angle high-speed photography unable to discern the details.

A thought came from the Sun-Mirroring Glass in the Mecha Storage Compartment again, "What a large Spirit Beast Bag... it’s almost comparable to the Universe in a Sleeve."

Feng Jun was a bit curious upon hearing this, "Have you seen the Universe in a Sleeve? Was it Patriarch Zhenyuan, the Earth Immortal ancestor?"

Jing Ling was unwilling to say more, "These aren’t important, what’s important is, shouldn’t you be on your way now?"

"No need to rush," Feng Jun replied in a deep voice, "I have the Teleportation Divine Ability and can instantly arrive on Earth, but returning too quickly might lead mortals to unnecessary speculations, so I think it’s better to conceal it appropriately."

"Mere mortals, you sure care for them," Jing Ling murmured indifferently, then spoke out, "Want to chat for a bit? Do you really have a Kunlun replica Yin-Yang Mirror?"

"I really have it," Feng Jun answered solemnly, "It’s in my manor, but it’s also damaged, usable from the Mortal Issue period."

"The level’s quite low," Jing Ling expressed without hesitation, "Just for this, Kunlun’s mountain gate deserved to be broken by you, they truly insulted the ancient artifacts."

Feng Jun was not in a hurry to go back, so he chatted with it, "Compared with the Overthrowing Heaven Seal, which one of you is stronger?"

The Mirror Spirit was reluctant to answer these questions, "It’s all in the past, what’s the point of discussing it? Can I take a look at that imitation Yin-Yang Mirror?"

Here it goes again! Feng Jun frowned in frustration. At this moment, he didn’t hide his feelings, wanting the other party to sense them as well, but the expressed thought was, "Haha, it’s only a damaged Mortal Phase magical treasure, gifting it to the elder is no big deal."

His "passive-aggressiveness" made the Mirror Spirit a bit displeased, yet it still replied, "Thank you, young friend. This item might be useful to me... I already have some thoughts on the magical treasure you need."

Have some thoughts? Hearing this piqued Feng Jun’s interest, "Could the elder elaborate? After all, we’re just idling."

The Mirror Spirit hadn’t been bragging. In the past few days of waiting, it really pondered over how to meet Feng Jun’s request—if one could obtain Spirit Stones through legitimate channels, who would want to earn a bad reputation?

Especially since it’s already been proven that the little fellow before it, although not highly cultivated, isn’t someone it can bully at will.

It then began explaining things to Feng Jun item by item.

Simply put, it doesn’t see this magical treasure as difficult to refine. It is confident in completing it. However, the current issue is that some ideas aren’t very clear, lacking some key operational models.

This means that it has sufficient technical foundation but lacks a comprehensive solution, similar to what Feng Jun envisioned.

However, during the conversation, Feng Jun discovered another unexpected fact: the Cultivation World might not be as proficient in data usage as the Human Federation and Earth, but in terms of data refinement intelligence, they greatly surpass the Human Federation and Earth.

For example, to describe all the characteristics of a Jade Spore Skyworm and simulate its possible reactions in various combat scenarios—this alone might crash the supercomputers of the Earth Realm.

But for Tianqin cultivators, just a segment of transmitted intent would solve the issue—"from what I know of this spirit beast, it should act like this."

Indeed, one intent transmitted by Yi Jue directly into the magical treasure, and the Jade Spore Skyworm’s information was complete.

Moreover, when simulating battles between humans and Jade Spore Skyworms, the magical treasure doesn’t even need strong computation abilities; the intent provided by Yi Jue acts as a compact computation unit, where the message can self-process.

For the Earth Realm, databases and computation are different matters—one is the hard drive, the other is the CPU, and if the database structure is unreasonable or extraction complex, it could affect computational abilities. However, in Tianqin, the database itself can perform computations.

Anyway, for someone like Feng Jun, who is rooted in humanities, the way Tianqin cultivators process data cannot be explained by Earth scientific logic; the building platforms of the two civilizations are fundamentally different.

Yet he vaguely understood why the cultivation civilization dismisses the technological civilization; if cultivation truly ventured into the technological domain, it could absolutely crush the technological civilization.

He and the Mirror Spirit conversed for two whole days and ended up designing a preliminary prototype of the magical treasure. The Mirror Spirit took charge of overall planning, while he handled the processing ideas of various stages, and together they concretized the refining thoughts for functionality.

But in the final stages, one often heard the Mirror Spirit’s complaints, "Come on, you’re also a human cultivator, but your artifact refining skills lag behind me, a natural elf?"

Feng Jun retorted, "I’ve called you ’elder’ multiple times, do you think I’m addressing you for nothing? You’ve lived so long and know more, isn’t that quite normal?"

The Mirror Spirit knew well that its artifact refining knowledge was indeed lacking, far from matching its age and cultivation level. Of course, compared to a normal Nascent Soul or even Out of Body cultivator, its refining skills could bear the term "decent"—as long as the other wasn’t specialized in artifact refining.

There are many things it doesn’t understand that are considered common knowledge, but Feng Jun not knowing these made it blind, "I’m not on the artifact refining path, alright? I’m all about mastering life and death with Yin Yang!"

Feng Jun’s retort was sharp, "Who claimed refining this was easy? Look at the key intermediate steps; all those ideas were provided by me, and you still have the nerve to complain about me?"

Although not proficient in artifact refining, the Mirror Spirit understood cultivator thinking well, "Give it a rest, you clearly borrowed ideas from the technological civilization, yet you act like it’s original. I just never thought about it from that perspective."

The banter continued alongside the design, and after two days and nights of brainstorming, they finally had a clear path for refining the magical treasure.

At this point, Feng Jun also had to leave, "I need to teleport now, weren’t you interested in observing it? Are you ready?"

"Wait a moment," at the critical moment, the Mirror Spirit called for a pause, "Haven’t I been thoroughly cooperating with you?"

Feng Jun nodded, "Elder, if you have something to say, please do. You’ve worked hard... except your artifact refining knowledge is a bit lacking."

The Mirror Spirit had grown quite familiar with him, and certainly had thoughts, "When you teleport, don’t tell that fellow I’ve arrived on Earth... deal?"
