Chapter 2616 - 2608: No Need to Stir

Chapter 2616: Chapter 2608: No Need to Stir

Feng Jun’s answer was quite straightforward, but Jing Ling pondered for a moment and still said, "Wait till nightfall. That guy might have discovered me."

Feng Jun replied without hesitation, "Senior, you can wait till nightfall, but it shouldn’t have discovered you."

Jing Ling was taken aback for a moment and then said, "How can you say that? That guy is not easy to deal with."

Feng Jun smiled but did not explain; however, he was truly confident about this.

If the Guardian had really discovered Jing Ling, it definitely wouldn’t ignore it like this.

Ever since he got the Top-Grade Spirit Stone, the Guardian’s attention towards him had sharply increased. Although he still couldn’t escape being a "tool for earning Spirit Stones," having a Big Boss willing to back you up is in itself a manifestation of ability.

However, Jing Ling was not stupid, and quickly realized, "Then I’ll just use this spiritual energy as cover to try... why turn spiritual energy into rainwater when the spiritual energy here on Earth is so abundant?"

Feng Jun pondered for a moment before answering, "Because I like the rain."

"Really..." Even Jing Ling didn’t know what to say. It couldn’t casually release its Divine Sense, but it could perceive that this world is Absolutely Spirit, with hardly any spiritual energy present.

In this situation, it wasn’t very strange that the small place where Feng Jun cultivates could gather spiritual energy, as it’s a necessity for cultivation. However, to use this energy to drive rain, even for a once powerful being like it, seemed a bit extravagant.

Of course, it wouldn’t criticize this; it was Feng Jun’s Spirit Stones, after all. It wouldn’t interfere with how he used them.

So next, it asked, "Could you step aside for a moment, young friend?"

Feng Jun nodded, turned around, and walked away, strolling through the drizzle, looking around.

Unknowingly, he arrived at the riverside, feeling a sense of tranquility as he gazed at the river in the rain.

Just at that moment, a very subtle Divine Sense quietly penetrated his mind, "Are you being controlled by that guy? Don’t answer... if you are, light a cigarette."

Truly a Big Boss! Feng Jun bitterly smiled, took out a can of beer, looked down at the Protective Talisman on his chest, then took a big swig, and let out a long breath, "Drinking in the rain of late spring, not wasting this beautiful time."

"Got it," the Guardian finally understood, realizing the presence of Jing Ling—it had already tried its best to conceal its aura, but Feng Jun had already become the hope for the Guardian to regain its origin, so the level of attention was naturally different.

It was worried Feng Jun was being controlled and did not take direct action. Hearing his words put its mind at ease, "Alright, I’ll see what this strand of Divine Spirit of that guy plans to do."

Feng Jun had gone to Mars, more than twenty days for a round trip, not to mention being teased by Beauty Lin along the way, which really made him a bit heated, but here had already become the frontier for the mutual probing of the Big Bosses, and finding someone to practice yoga with had become a luxury.

So he simply stood by the river, slowly wandering with a can of beer.

Before long, Yang Yuxin also came over, "Back pretty quick... do you have those Mars microbes in your hand?"

She generally wouldn’t use a mobile phone, this time only because Feng Jun went to Mars with the Space Fleet for exercises, which was a significant matter. Her brother-in-law personally persuaded her not to put away her phone, and she agreed then.

Actually, she already realized that her brother-in-law, who didn’t usually talk much with her, recently had quite the urge to confide. However, the story-fatigued her had become the one to deal with him instead.

But anyhow, with such a family connection, she would appropriately consider the other’s feelings.

"I do have Mars microbes," Feng Jun nodded, "But that thing is quite odd. Is someone interested?"

"Indeed, there’s such a meaning," Yang Yuxin nodded, looking a bit tense, "How odd?"

Feng Jun pondered before answering, "It’s hard to explain in a sentence or two. Anyway, it’s very fond of devouring spiritual energy. I initially thought I’d research it when I get the chance, but if they truly want it, giving away some wouldn’t matter... but don’t blame me if it gets out of control."

Yang Yuxin turned and left, "Alright, I’ll report just that."

No more than five minutes later, she returned, smiling, "When you mentioned the word ’out of control,’ it comes across as particularly threatening... they almost jumped up."

Feng Jun smiled. Although Director Yang had left, he still kept an eye on her, so he already knew their reaction, and he wasn’t surprised at all. Space exploration should naturally be done one step at a time; leaping around recklessly invites disaster!

He nodded, "Actually, devouring spiritual energy is also quite terrifying; they finally got some Electric Spirit Gathering Array going. If these microbes cause trouble, the consequences are hard to predict."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuxin rolled her eyes at him, "Since that’s the case, why didn’t you emphasize this in advance?"

"It’s hard to advise a ghost looking to die," Feng Jun replied calmly, "If they don’t wish to court death, they’ll naturally notice. If they’re dead set on dying, what’s the use of saying anything?"

At this moment, Yu Qingzhu walked over, as she felt a premonition of advancing in rank and wanted to find a secluded place to isolate herself for cultivation.

Currently, the Spirit Gathering Arrays in the valley’s bamboo forest and the villa’s backyard are for the Inedia Phase; otherwise, they couldn’t support so many people cultivating. But since she wants to break through to the Inedia Phase, she would definitely need to monopolize one Spirit Gathering Array.

But in reality, she can’t monopolize either of these two Spirit Gathering Arrays. If she monopolizes the backyard, it would easily affect the ordinary people in the villa’s front yard. If she monopolizes the bamboo forest in the valley, then the Qianxiu cultivating there won’t be able to go to the backyard to cultivate.

So what she’s applying for is Feng Jun’s Golden Core Gathering Spirit Array. Of course, if she could enter the Kunhao Plane now, she could break through just about anywhere in the manor, but the problem is they can’t go there.

Feng Jun calculated a bit and realized she could suppress it for three to five months, so he said: Don’t advance for now; suppress it, I have other plans for you.

Around four o’clock in the afternoon, the Rain Prayer Array was closed, but Zhengyang welcomed a proper spring rain. Although it was late spring, the rain still fell fine and light, unlike the torrential and violent summer rains.

By dusk, Feng Jun had a sudden impulse, and upon sensing it, he discovered that the defensive formation of the Golden Core Gathering Spirit Array had been closed, so he walked over, "Are the seniors done with their matters?"

"That’s it for now," Mirror Spirit replied, "You can use Divine Sense to activate it, and we can meet formally then."

"What’s the use of activation?" A consciousness descended, sweeping up the Sun-Mirroring Glass and the Yin-Yang Mirror on the table, "It’s been a while, and you still haven’t changed your habit of making things difficult for juniors. This time, consider that you’re following the rules. Otherwise..."

"Or what can you do?" Mirror Spirit suddenly erupted, "Worst case, you ruin a part of my Divine Spirit... always sneaking around, truly acting like a little person!"

Feng Jun helplessly spread his hands, "Seniors, I shouldn’t need to intrude, right?"

"We’re catching up, what’s it to you," the two replied in unison.

Good that they’re gone! Feng Jun confirmed their departure, first went to Chaoyang to advise the elders, and then went to Amstan, soothing Sofia and also checking how the foreign networks were describing the Space Fleet — earlier when Mirror Spirit was present, he didn’t want it to know more.

Almost a third of the foreign media speculated that it might be an alien fleet, but even more, as much as fifty percent, believed it was a Space Battleship from a certain country, with most guessing that country to be the Mai Nation.

The media in the Mai Nation, however, were quite divided, with some feeling proud of their fleet, while others thought it was Ivan’s new type of spacecraft, clamoring that Mai Nation’s military is outdated and should allocate significant funding to develop new space weapons.

Of course, some speculated it was a secret weapon produced by Huaxia, but the conclusion was the same — the wolf is coming, Mai Nation must quickly boost its space combat capabilities.

Feng Jun watched for a while and found nothing too new, so he advised Sofia not to go to Luohua anytime soon. Sofia didn’t ask for reasons, only saying that he must practice yoga with her properly.

There’s no need to go into what happened next, but by noon the next day, Beauty Lin appeared again outside Luohua Manor.

Feng Jun had no intention of seeing her, and she instead got caught up with her relatives and friends.

Her grandmother had been living in the Cultural Town for quite some days and genuinely experienced the benefits here, and with her most beloved granddaughter "working" here, she was naturally willing to stay longer.

Listening to all this gave Beauty Lin a slight headache. The town is livable, but the key issue is the high accommodation cost. Renting a standalone villa can start at tens of thousands per day; staying here for a year would be enough to buy a villa in a relatively remote place in the capital.

Beauty Lin did not think she was short of money, but even with her financial capability, she didn’t dare to say she could rent a villa year-round.

Yet money isn’t the most important thing; she’s willing to spend it for her grandmother. What’s important is her grandmother is just a visiting family member, without the qualification to live here permanently. The town’s staff had already started inquiring: How long do you plan to stay?

After hearing about the accommodation costs, her grandmother wanted to leave, while her descendants started to inquire what procedures were needed to live in today.

Yes, after spending about twenty days here, everyone already knew the benefits, and some started thinking about whether they could let their close ones live here too.

Even Beauty Lin’s parents were moved, directly calling her: Your uncle is at a critical moment, whether he can make progress depends on his superior’s mood. If it’s not too troublesome, please help him.

Instead, Beauty Lin expressed: Rather than letting him bring people to live here, it’s better to help him resolve his progress issues!

Feng Jun, watching the spectacle, was quite entertained until the Guardian’s intentions came down, "Got time? Come over for a chat?"

His current status had risen so much that even it couldn’t just summon and dismiss him at will.

Of course, Feng Jun couldn’t get too arrogant, smiling slightly, "Senior has called, of course I have time."
