Chapter 2567: Chapter 2559: More Than That
"Artifact Refining?" Qian Zhong True Immortal gave Feng Jun a surprised look, then shook her head, "I’m not very skilled at it, what do you want to say?"
This seemingly random sentence, she believed, carried more to follow.
"If you’re not skilled, then forget it," Feng Jun smiled and shook his head, "There is a treasure in my sect that got damaged, and we’re searching everywhere for experts to repair it."
"Ancient families don’t necessarily excel in everything, they’re usually specialized in one or two areas," Qian Zhong True Immortal felt some caution but didn’t take it too seriously, "Is it a very famous treasure?"
This is the stature of a Great Sage, even if she isn’t adept at artifact refining, she has the right to inquire about your treasure—if it’s not worthy, it wouldn’t deserve a glance from her.
Feng Jun smiled shyly and answered, "The Sun-Mirroring Glass... should have some notoriety."
"Sun-Mirroring... Sun-Mirroring Glass?" Qian Zhong True Immortal hesitated before asking in confusion, "Is it a treasure from your sect?"
"Actually, it was a spoil of war from Immortal Yi Jue and me," Feng Jun replied with a smile, "But the elders in my sect hope I can get it repaired. Unfortunately, there’s no clue for now, even Ban Yu True Sage in the Artifact Refining Path is uncertain."
"Ban Yu from the Artifact Refining Path..." A hint of suspicion flashed in Qian Zhong True Immortal’s eyes. She certainly wouldn’t say "if he can’t fix it, why come to me," after boasting about the Ancient Family’s prowess, it wouldn’t be appropriate to immediately admit a loss.
Yet she didn’t mind too much and continued to display the ancient heritage, "Do you know what level of treasure the Sun-Mirroring Glass is?"
Feng Jun answered earnestly, "Not particularly clear... it should be above the True Treasure level."
"So you know it’s above a True Treasure," Qian Zhong True Immortal shook her head with a smile that was half laughter and half frustration, "Whether you believe it or not, I’ll offer you some advice, a three-year-old child should not hold gold in a crowded market... If it weren’t for San Cai friend’s sake, I might have directly borrowed it."
"Ahem," Han Hai True Sage softly coughed, "Friend’s intentions are good, but the words are too full."
"Really?" Qian Zhong True Immortal glanced at him, speaking with a faint smile, "Seems there are things I’m unaware of?"
Han Hai True Sage replied in a deep voice, "Regardless, Ban Yu doesn’t have the thought of snatching it, I have used the Sun-Mirroring Glass without coveting it."
"Alright, I know you want me to take a look at the Sun-Mirroring Glass," Qian Zhong True Immortal straightforwardly said, "Then bring it out, let me see if it can be repaired."
Once Feng Jun took out the Sun-Mirroring Glass, Qian Zhong True Immortal hesitated for a moment before laughing, "Is it this aura? Indeed, can’t afford to provoke."
She intended to uphold the prestige of the Ancient Family, but admitting the inability to provoke isn’t shameful, so she looked at Feng Jun, "Is this aura from an elder in your sect?"
"Yes," Feng Jun nodded, "Initially, it was meant for me to deduce the perpetrator, but I couldn’t. The aura has mostly faded, and I’m using the residual aura to pretend, inquiring everywhere about repair methods."
This is not pretending by association, it’s secretly warning me! Qian Zhong True Immortal understood well, but she couldn’t muster any anger—the opponent is too formidable, the Yao Family can’t afford conflict, so she asked in a deep voice, "Your sect’s elder can’t repair it either?"
"They can repair it somewhat," Feng Jun showed difficulty, "But that elder is fond of wealth, I can’t afford Spirit Stones, so I’m asking around to find a more affordable place."
"It’s not impossible for a fellow sect member to charge high, it’s common," Qian Zhong True Immortal understood the situation, "At least the security can be assured, and they’ll be more dedicated than outsiders, but the repair cost for this treasure is certainly not low... How much did your elder quote?"
Feng Jun grimaced and vaguely answered, "Extremely Spirited... at least a hundred, specifically how much, it’s inconvenient for me to say."
Qian Zhong True Immortal pondered, then shook her head, "Not expensive, to thoroughly repair the Sun-Mirroring Glass, it would cost at least a thousand Extremely Spirited. Our Yao Family also has some damaged treasures, can I ask your elder to help repair them?"
Oh, suddenly we’re so familiar? Feng Jun considered, then shook his head, "This... it’s hard to say. My elder is willing to help mostly because of my identity, if it’s an outsider, I’m afraid... it won’t be easy to ask."
"So that’s how it is, you find it expensive, outsiders don’t even have the qualification to consider it," Qian Zhong True Immortal sighed softly, then extended her delicate jade hand, "Let me see your Sun-Mirroring Glass."
Feng Jun didn’t hesitate and sent the Sun-Mirroring Glass across the air.
Qian Zhong True Immortal examined it for a while, then handed it to the side to Can Sheng True Immortal, "Have a look too, whatever you can comprehend is your fortune."
Then she looked at Feng Jun, "You brought out this treasure because you worry we’ll scheme against you?"
Feng Jun lightly coughed, "I think that before collaborating, it’s a responsible attitude to ensure both parties fully understand each other, which can effectively improve efficiency."
Qian Zhong True Immortal nodded, her voice devoid of any emotion, "That’s the way to say it, but testing like this... isn’t good."
Feng Jun pursed his lips without speaking, Yi Jue spoke, "Senior, the one who started testing was you."
The True Immortal Qian Zhong glanced at her and laughed, "Alright, since all three of you are such prodigies, let’s blame me for this one."
After this exchange, everyone felt they had "communicated their views thoroughly," and finally decided that Han Hai True Sage and Wei Sancai would coordinate from outside the segments, while Feng Jun and the others would search for clues on the segments.
The methods of True Immortal Can Sheng were indeed extraordinary. He directed a series of hand signs at Yi Jue and Feng Jun, and their auras instantly changed drastically. Han Hai True Sage was left astonished, "Frosty aura... Is this imitating my Xuanshui Sect?"
"Wanhuan Sect and Yuangang Sect also possess frosty auras," True Immortal Can Sheng responded in a deep voice, "It mainly reflects the aura of the cultivation techniques. Mountain Master Feng and Immortal Yi Jue do not cultivate frosty techniques, which helps effectively conceal their identities."
True Immortal Qian Zhong also replied with a smile, "If Friend Han Hai could provide two disciple waist tokens, that would be even better."
Han Hai True Sage couldn’t help but say, "The Elder Cang Jing from my Xuanshui Sect also caused a commotion at Lingmu Sect last time."
"No problem if it’s inconvenient," True Immortal Qian Zhong replied nonchalantly, "We’re impersonating openly, rather than doing it secretly."
"I disagree with your impersonation," Han Hai True Sage said, throwing out two waist tokens, "Thankfully, I picked up two waist tokens from Yuangang Sect a while ago."
"Outer courtyard disciple?" Feng Jun chose one, "This, I can impersonate easily."
"Separate courtyard disciple... Golden Core Eighth Layer?" Yi Jue’s face showed some discomfort, "A whole major realm higher, my Breath Concealment Technique might not deceive everyone."
"I’ll handle this," True Immortal Qian Zhong also performed a series of hand signs, "Quickly change your appearance, I’ll help conceal your breath. You must not use more than half of your own spiritual energy, especially Divine Skills and Thought of Dao... If you can’t win, you can run."
"Half of spiritual energy... They would need to be at Nascent Soul Peak to challenge me," Yi Jue didn’t like to show off, but at that moment, she felt a tinge of defiance. However, she quickly asked out loud, "Han Hai Great Sage, how is my aura now?"
Han Hai True Sage nodded and uttered four words, "Marvelous beyond measure."
Next, Feng Jun activated the transport function and directly took everyone to the outskirts of a Lingmu Sect’s segment, just twenty million miles away, "Alright, we’ll fly over there now. Please take care, you two sages."
The distance was maintained because they were pretending to fly in from afar; being too close could easily reveal anomalies, whereas two true sages hidden twenty million miles away wouldn’t need to worry about being discovered at all.
Watching the four of them fly further away, Han Hai True Sage used Divine Sense to ask, "That female cultivator... Is she definitely from the Yao Family?"
"I can guarantee that," Wei Sancai replied without hesitation, "But it’s the first time I’ve seen her. Not one of the Yao Family Great Sages I’ve known... Living for over four thousand years, suddenly realizing, I might have underestimated Yao Family’s depth."
Han Hai True Sage was silent for a while before saying, "Might not be an Out-of-Body Great Sage, Yi Jue even called her senior."
"I feel the same," Wei Sancai’s mood was a bit downcast, "Yi Jue might have guessed something from Mountain Master Feng’s attitude, but what I saw was... daring to order you around, an Out-of-Body Great Sage might not have such courage."
Han Hai True Sage couldn’t help but say, "Friend Sancai, I find you are as unreliable as ever."
"You started this, didn’t you?" Wei Sancai was incredibly frustrated, "You insisted on saying Yao Family... That clan is quite sinister, I didn’t dare provoke them lightly, yet you had to point them out, what am I supposed to do?"
"You can only blame your Wei Family juniors for being unreliable, saying anything carelessly," Han Hai seldom bickered, but that didn’t mean he was poor at it; in fact, he had a sharp tongue, "You said it, someone else heard it, are you still going to blame me?"
Meanwhile, Yi Jue was also connecting with Feng Jun via mental communication, "This female cultivator, what exactly is her cultivation level?"
Also using "female cultivator" as a reference implied she dared not call her name directly, fearing the other might sense it.
"The exact cultivation level, I am not very clear," Feng Jun answered, "But I am certain, this is a Divine Spirit."
"Not an incarnation?" Yi Jue rubbed her temples in distress, "So we’ve encountered a Divine Spirit Powerhouse?"
"Not necessarily a Divine Spirit Powerhouse," Feng Jun’s mind was still very clear, "It could be an Integration Period Powerhouse."
"Integration Period Powerhouse," Yi Jue’s eyelids twitched, she was confident about reaching the Out-of-Body stage, and to be polite, the Divine Spirit stage was no big deal, but the Integration Period, she couldn’t confidently assert she’d reach that stage.
So she couldn’t help but sigh, "Attracting such a female cultivator... you do have quite the charm."
"The Divine Spirit is a female cultivator, the main body may not be," Feng Jun also felt a hint of helplessness, not really knowing how to handle the jealousy, "Divine Spirit purges evil intentions and heart demons, maybe they have a gender inversion thought, who can tell?"
Yi Jue was silent for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask, "Haven’t you deduced anything about her main body?"
