Chapter 2566: Chapter 2558: Are You Skilled in Artifact Refining?

Faced with Feng Jun’s question, True Immortal Qian Zhong hesitated a bit and pondered for a moment before asking, "Can you deduce qi fortune?"

"Sorry, I don’t have that capability right now," Feng Jun shook his head and answered straightforwardly.

He felt a bit puzzled, thinking that when it comes to deducing qi fortune, Immortal Yi Jue is from Taixu; why ask me instead of her?

However, since the other party was so mysterious and seemed to speak on her own, he decided not to say much.

True Immortal Qian Zhong’s expression turned serious, and she asked in a deep voice, "If my Yao Family were to reemerge, how would the three of you support us?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Jue couldn’t help but glance at Wei Sancai, "Sancai True Sage, you’ve certainly sold out your teammates well!"

Wei Sancai, however, chuckled dryly, showing no concern, "Immortal Yi Jue, I definitely had to tell them the truth. Our families have known each other for tens of thousands of years... But as to their decision, that’s beyond my control."

Suddenly, Han Hai True Sage spoke up, "Mountain Master Feng only wants a transaction; supporting reemergence, that’s against the rules."

It was clear that he was a bit displeased with Wei Sancai’s behavior, which prompted him to speak up.

"Thank you, Great Sage, for your answer," Qian Zhong nodded to him before turning to Feng Jun, "What does Mountain Master Feng think?"

"I support Han Hai Great Sage’s statement; this is just a transaction," Feng Jun replied in a deep voice and, after some thought, further stated, "The Yao Family has remained hidden for tens of thousands of years, they must have their own considerations. I can’t think of why two True Immortals would make such a decision."

True Immortal Qian Zhong smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Well said, but you’re merely a Golden Core Master, on what basis do you question a True Immortal’s decision?"

Yi Jue, upon hearing this, was a bit displeased, "Well, I am at Nascent Soul Peak, surely I can answer, right? We do not participate in family reemergence."

"Immortal Yi Jue, you are a Sect Practitioner," True Immortal Qian Zhong replied softly, "What we care about most is Mountain Master Feng’s attitude."

"So sure that I’m not a Sect Practitioner?" Feng Jun laughed upon hearing this, "Alright, regardless of what kind of cultivator I am, my stance is that I won’t easily engage in conflicts between various family forces, especially since we are not familiar with each other yet."

Originally, he wanted to say that he absolutely wouldn’t participate in siding with anyone, but considering that Yi Jue was right beside him and Han Hai True Sage had treated him well, he didn’t make such an absolute statement.

"Alright, Yao Family members like to hear the truth," True Immortal Qian Zhong laughed, "Then next, there can be a familiarization process... Our secret technique doesn’t have a permanent type; the higher the degree of concealment, the more it needs constant replenishment. You understand this, right?"

Feng Jun looked at everyone else, seeing that no one spoke, he could only nod, "That indeed matches my understanding. However, the Ancient Yao Family has a reputation; there might be unexpected surprises."

"No surprises," Can Sheng True Immortal, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "So we hope to go together with you to the Lingmu Sect’s territory, to replenish the secret technique at any time and assist when needed... Regarding the terms of the transaction, you can decide after it’s over."

Yi Jue spoke up, "Settle everything at once; even if you need replenishment, there’s no need to follow closely."

"Immortal Yi Jue clearly underestimates Lingmu Sect’s methods," Can Sheng True Immortal spoke seriously, "Since you trust our Yao Family and came to us, we certainly won’t betray your trust; we must accompany you on this journey... That’s why we have this meeting."

"Accompany us... That’s fine," Yi Jue was not very concerned about this; what she cared about was, "First, agree on the remuneration."

"Mentioning remuneration upfront... Maybe you’ll find us asking for a high price," Can Sheng True Immortal responded in a deep voice, "Only after things are concluded will you appreciate our offer more."

"That’s not necessary," Feng Jun shook his head, "Since we’ve found you, whatever price you quote is fine, I won’t bargain."

"The Yao Family hasn’t reemerged for a long time," True Immortal Qian Zhong sighed softly, "This way of cooperation used to be common; why doesn’t it work now?"

Yi Jue couldn’t help but glance at Wei Sancai, "Sancai True Sage, are these really Yao Family members? Should we negotiate the price... Please say something."

"They are definitely Yao Family members; bloodline sensing, I still get it right," Wei Sancai replied helplessly, "As for whether to negotiate, you should decide among yourselves; I can’t favor either side."

Finally, Feng Jun spoke up, "If anyone is to accompany us, it can only be Senior Can Sheng; for Senior Qian Zhong, it would be inconvenient."

"Inconvenient?" True Immortal Qian Zhong laughed upon hearing this, "You have female cultivators there too, where does the inconvenience come from?"

"It’s no joke, Senior," Feng Jun clasped his hands and spoke seriously, "You’ve mentioned the Lingmu Sect’s surveillance methods are not to be underestimated. Do you think... your Great Sage’s true intention can avoid detection?"

"Hmm?" Yi Jue looked at True Immortal Qian Zhong in astonishment, "Is this a Great Sage?"

"I knew something wasn’t right," Wei Sancai slapped his thigh and exclaimed in realization, "How could a Nascent Soul High Stage dare to speak so much in front of you?"

The Han Hai True Sage was hidden in the white mist, unseen by others. However, he still let out a light snort, "Do you really not know?"

"Of course I don’t know," Wei Sancai’s eyes widened. "If I knew, I would just laugh heartily now. What could you do to me then?"

He felt quite frustrated, having been deceived by the Yao Family’s True Sage. In fact, he was doubtful if the Yao Family even had a True Sage now. However, since the Yao Family had become jittery, he couldn’t force the Yao Family’s True Sage to appear.

"Alright, it was all my idea," True Immortal Qian Zhong coughed lightly and gazed up and down at Feng Jun. "Originally, I wanted to figure out if your deduction abilities were as legendary as they say, but I didn’t expect you could see through my true identity... Even a True Sage is not as good as you."

Wei Sancai felt a bit ashamed, but Han Hai True Sage couldn’t help but snort lightly. He thought to himself that he was somewhat doubtful. If it weren’t for giving face to Wei’s family, just a little probing would reveal the truth; could you really hide it from me?

However, at this point, saying anything more would seem like sour grapes, so he could only snort in frustration.

Yi Jue was slightly taken aback, but she quickly accepted the result — After all, she was only at the Nascent Soul Peak, not an Out-of-Body Great Sage. Then, she straightforwardly spoke, "Are you sure there won’t be any alarms triggered, Great Sage?"

True Immortal Qian Zhong smiled slightly, "If I weren’t confident about this, why would I volunteer to accompany you?"

Feng Jun furrowed his brows again, "Senior, could you please tell us why you must accompany us?"

True Immortal Qian Zhong didn’t answer directly but instead asked, "Can you deduce my true identity?"

After pondering for a moment, Feng Jun replied, "If it’s about the Great Sage’s identity, I already understand, but since you haven’t spoken about it, it’s not appropriate for me to say it directly. As for the methods you possess, I don’t yet have the ability to deduce them."

He initially didn’t want to mention even knowing the identity, to avoid arousing any unease in the other party, but after thinking about it, he decided to speak truthfully.

"Knowing your limits as well," True Immortal Qian Zhong nodded and then spoke solemnly, "You speak honestly, and I’ll give you a clear answer. First, it is... definitely necessary to replenish techniques at any time. Secondly, I also want to see what a true prodigy is."

She pointed with her hand, "Fellow Daoist from Han Hai... The first True Sage of Xuanshui Sect in three thousand years; Immortal Yi Jue... the first Nascent Soul of Tianqin to create Divine Skills; Mountain Master Feng... the first Golden Core in history! Don’t interrupt me, let me finish."

"If it were just Mountain Master Feng, I might not have come, but the three of you managed to gather, with you, a Golden Core, being the primary focus. How could I not be curious?"

After pausing, she let out a sigh, "Moreover, the news of the Yao Family’s Direct Lineage still remaining is not something we want to spread, but I can’t silence you all, so I have to come and see if there’s a solution."

Upon hearing this, Han Hai True Sage couldn’t help but speak coldly, "I am not someone to gossip. I’ve known this news for over a hundred years."

"I know," True Immortal Qian Zhong nodded casually, "But that guy named Si is already dead, or he would have learned a lesson... Having too much curiosity is not a good thing."

Han Hai True Sage couldn’t help but let out a slight ’Eh’, "You really know who heard about this though?"

Wei Sancai claimed to have guessed the rumor-spreader, but he didn’t believe it at all, because the person spreading the word was merely a Loose Cultivator with whom he had some connection, but nobody else could have known.

"The Ancient Yao Family should indeed be worthy of the term ’Ancient’," True Immortal Qian Zhong replied proudly, "Previously we didn’t know, but fellow Daoist from Han Hai, you described the process so clearly, how could we justify retaining the Yao name if we couldn’t deduce it?"

Han Hai True Sage was silent for a while before nodding, "Remarkable skills, I couldn’t manage it."

True Immortal Qian Zhong looked at him deeply, "Being able to face one’s shortcomings and acknowledge them, Xuanshui Sect surely has produced another remarkable figure."

Then she turned to Feng Jun, "The reason I don’t talk price with you is that I hope to reach some form of private cooperation with you after it’s done... Although the Yao Family doesn’t emerge often, they still need some opportunities; I don’t want to miss these."

The private cooperation she mentioned was naturally for Yao Family disciples to come with assumed identities, which Feng Jun would not only accept but also help conceal.

Feng Jun was initially stunned, then cupped his hands and replied with a wry smile, "It is an honor that Senior thinks so highly of me, but... we only need to conceal our aura a bit, can’t we pay with some rare treasures?"

"Heh," True Immortal Qian Zhong laughed in annoyance, "Maybe I am somewhat inappropriate, but do you think the term ’Ancient’ can be lightly used? Many want the Yao Family’s help, and without the two of them, you alone wouldn’t qualify."

Yi Jue suddenly spoke up, "Would a six-star Laurel Enlivening Tree suffice?"

"Oh?" True Immortal Qian Zhong gave her a surprised look, then laughed, "What a generous offer, but as I said, since it’s cooperation, what we can do should be more than just obscuring your aura... Anyway, let’s see what we manage in the end."

Yi Jue still felt a bit unsatisfied, but in the end, she just gave Feng Jun a questioning look.

Feng Jun thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright then. By the way, I wonder if Senior is skilled in Artifact Refining?"
