Chapter 2248: Chapter 2250: Unending Favor
"Pa," Feng Jun raised his hand and gave a hard slap on his forehead, blaming himself indeed.
Who told him to throw out a Spiritual Qi Shield to conceal his aura? It was indeed his reckless hand causing trouble.
But then he coughed lightly and said, "I called you over, served you to the Innate stage, and you blame me?"
"No, no, no," Xu Leigang hurriedly denied repeatedly, "I’m just saying, I feel like I have great potential, maybe of the Hundred-Zhang Innate type, but... encountered some inexplicable external influences."
"You’ve got the Thousand-Zhang Innate, might as well ascend to heaven," Feng Jun glared, "Stop talking, protect your Dantian’s aura of Innateness, or you’ll fall back to High-Rank Martial Master, don’t say I didn’t warn you!"
Xu Leigang decisively shut up immediately—I’m near fifty, is it easy for me to reach the Innate stage?
Xu Leigang’s advancement was probably the last scene of the Domain Care—about a day and a half duration, similar to the Kunhao Realm.
Afterward, some people stayed in the mountains of Chaoyang for another day or two, and it’s hard to say what they gained, but truly no one advanced anymore, and Feng Jun had already left, taking his troops back to Luohua.
He didn’t leave dedicated guards in Chaoyang—actually, with the high-rank strength of his parents shedding their mortal shackles, plus his Initial Golden Core Stage Essence Blood Protection Talisman, basically no one could act recklessly here, let alone... there’s also the Guardian Boss keeping watch.
After returning to Luohua, Feng Jun no longer gathered the Daoist people because although the spleen is beneficial to Earth, it’s more of a silent nourishing, there might be Domain Care, but really not much.
This is why he values the lungs, since, on the surface, the lungs can directly change the domain environment.
Actually, the liver of the Tunxing Clan is also important, as it fundamentally increases the domain’s storage capacity of Spirit Mechanisms, but this thing is indeed a bit fragile, easily subject to various damages, it’s not as resilient as the lungs, and... its surface capabilities aren’t good, being ignored is normal.
The spleen is already buried, and the activation of the formation is under his control—actually, this isn’t very important either, because if not controlled, after some time, the spleen will slowly merge with the Earth.
So Feng Jun conducted an experiment, he recorded the hand gestures he wanted to perform on a piece of obsidian, then summoned the people of Luohua for an on-the-spot simulation to see who might advance this round.
However, unfortunately, as he expected, in this batch, really no one advanced.
Feng Jun felt a bit unwilling, so he activated the formation, but after waiting two days, it indeed matched his calculations.
Yet, although there were no obvious effects, the manor was still filled with laughter and cheer, because most people had advanced during these two rounds of Domain Care.
The most exaggerated among them was Xu Leigang’s case; this universally recognized slacker actually reached the Innate stage!
From Innate to the First Layer of Qi Refining, there’s a hurdle, and for people in the Kunhao Realm, this is seen as a very difficult chasm to cross.
But for Luohua Manor—or rather, for Feng Jun, the hardest barrier is from High-Rank Martial Master to Innate, which purely requires painstaking cultivation and no shortcuts whatsoever.
Honestly, from an Innate Expert to the First Layer of Qi Refining, that’s much simpler, just a matter of piling resources.
At the "Customs" of the Mortal Realm in Kunhao, many Innate Experts seek resources, but more Innate Experts don’t bother going there—they know it’s a futile endeavor.
Rather than counting on those elusive opportunities, it’s better to live freely in the Mortal Realm.
The majority of Innate Experts in the Mortal Realm remained there, indicating a wise choice—Martial Enlightenment requires intrinsic potential activation and supplementing with resources.
Are these resources precious? For Innate Experts in the Mortal Realm, they’re exceedingly precious.
But for the current Feng Jun, they’re trivial matters—he’s a Golden Core Master now, and he interacts with many True Immortals, this bit of resources... is it even worth mentioning?
With different identity and status, the perspective on issues changes, the key is: there’s hardly anyone under his command.
The Golden Cores in the Kunhao Realm, each and every one, except for those who’ve done unethical things in the Endless Sea or Burning Desert, have their foundations, and behind them, they carry numerous tribe members.
No need to mention others, just Huang Fu Wuxia alone pressured Feng Jun greatly when she first arrived.
Yet the entire Huang Fu Family revolves around an Ancestor Huang Fu at the Golden Core Stage—they might have a few Golden Core Stage patrons, but essentially, Ancestor Huang Fu is the standard bearer.
Ancestor Huang Fu carries over ten thousand clan members, and although there are only over a thousand direct descendants, the collateral lines can’t be ignored, or they’d be criticized, not to mention the Huang Fu family also protects seven or eight affiliated families.
Thinking about Ancestor Huang Fu’s burdens and then looking at Feng Jun’s burdens, one can understand why he doesn’t care about these resources. Moreover, Mountain Master Feng’s ability to make money is far superior to Ancestor Huang Fu’s.
So Xu Leigang’s desire to enter the Qi Refinement Realm is really very easy, but the required foundation is still necessary. Even Wang Haifeng must wait two years in the Innate stage, so Xu Leigang’s entry into Qi Refinement will also take some time.
Therefore, the activation of the spleen did not bring any visible changes to the manor. However, three days later, Old Master Yu still noticed something unusual, "Why do I feel my thoughts have been much clearer lately?"
After two more days, someone finally advanced in rank, but this time it was a complete outsider—Shen Qingyi advanced from the Fourth Layer of Qi-refining to the Fifth Layer of Qi-refining, and less than two years have passed since her last advancement.
It’s no understatement to say Kunlun Three Elegants are truly exceptional. Those who excel in such a sect are indeed worthy of being considered geniuses.
Shen Qingyi does not receive many resources within the sect. After entering Luohua, she freely uses the Spirit Gathering Array, making breaking through the intermediate realm a bit difficult, yet advancing from the Fourth Layer to the Fifth Layer is unexpectedly easy.
Of course, this still benefits from the lung and kidney enhancements of the Tunxing Clan—though Luohua is a bit far from Chaoyang, less than five hundred kilometers, the great joy of the heavens and earth naturally can have an influence.
After experiencing the joy of advancement, Shen Qingyi feels somewhat pensive—her speed is not slow, yet Zhang Caixin has already reached the peak of the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, and even the rising star Yu Qingzhu has reached the Fourth Layer!
She truly finds it hard to accurately express her feelings. Compared to her fellow sect members, she is outstanding and even has considerable confidence in surpassing Sect Leader and becoming another exalted figure. However... with Luohua, it’s incomparable.
Pills, Magic Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques... they pale in comparison to the other side. This enormous disparity easily causes a sense of imbalance.
Two days later, Yang Yuxin finally finalized two pieces of land. The piece in Pingyang, Jin Province, is precisely the mountain area where the Zhuang Family’s stone cave is located, and the stone cave was directly included during the land demarcation.
The Zhuang Family might have some influence locally and highly values their ancestral land, but the route Yang Yuxin took is completely crushing for them.
Another piece of land provides a comparison—over by the Taklamakan Desert, Yang Yuxin requested twenty thousand square kilometers, and the superior powers simply delineated over twenty-eight thousand square kilometers, almost thirty thousand.
And such a vast piece of land—doesn’t cost anything!
Not only does it not cost anything, but there’s also an annual desertification subsidy. More importantly, around that land, three training grounds were demarcated—meaning that there could possibly be troops around protecting them as they work on greening.
However, both Yang Yuxin and Feng Jun know it’s not a matter of protection. Presumably, what occurred over in Chaoyang has already caught people’s attention—with so many people advancing in rank onsite, how could such news be concealed?
So regarding Feng Jun purchasing land in Jin Province and Taklamakan, others can surely guess what he’s planning to do.
In Jin Province, large movements aren’t feasible, but over in the desert, three training grounds were delineated. Presumably, troops will in the future enter the greening area to help "plant trees." This is quite possible.
But instead, Feng Jun is quite pleased with their approach. Honestly, the piece in the desert, he actually intends to leave to Guojia; he has too few people, and there’s too much land to oversee.
If it weren’t for concerns about someone causing trouble in Pingyang or someone entering the mountain mistakenly and causing accidents, he wouldn’t even want to manage the Pingyang piece. Hence, he has instructed Yang Yuxin to send people for oversight.
However, he personally is willing to hand over the Taklamakan territory, yet he can’t say it openly, only letting the other side ruminate—if they can figure it out, they can slowly consume that piece of land, and everyone will have a mutual understanding.
Clearly, his intentions were quickly guessed by the other side. So many people are doing psychological portraits of him; it wouldn’t be for nothing. Plus, Yang Yuxin can roughly sense Feng Jun’s mindset, so there is this tacit understanding.
So Feng Jun nods, "That’s good, quickly finalize the lease contract."
The next day, two contracts were sent to Luohua Manor, evidencing the high efficiency of Huaxia citizens’ work capabilities, truly remarkable, and the contract’s subject is none other than Feng Jun, this natural person!
According to Yang Yuxin, the security personnel she dispatched have already entered Pingyang and have set up tents on the mountain. The next step is to construct temporary housing and establish isolation zones.
This is done. Feng Jun’s Divine Sense extends to the sky in the north, "Senior, I’ve already bought the land."
In the next moment, once again, Feng Jun’s vision blurred momentarily, and he appeared in that small dilapidated courtyard again.
The Guardian’s voice resonated once more in his mind, "Didn’t expect that, you have such vast courage, willingly sharing Domain Care with others. Do you know that when the care is distributed, fortune also gets affected? The fortune of your people could’ve originally been higher!"
Feng Jun tilts his head in contemplation but ultimately decides to speak truthfully, "I indeed have considered this, but the fortune of Luohua people is already not bad. Sharing a bit doesn’t really matter; our main battlefield should be in alternate realms."
"Moreover, sharing fortune isn’t necessarily a bad thing!"
