Big Data Cultivation

Chapter 2573: Chapter 2565: Investigation Results

Qian Zhong’s experience is broad enough, so she believes she’s "fortunate to not have disappointed," and she trusts Feng Jun can understand.

If Feng Jun couldn’t even grasp this, only knowing that "elixirs have too strong a scent affecting the breath," then she’d truly be disappointed.

Luckily, Feng Jun didn’t let her down; his eyes lit up, "Elixirs? That’s really good. Let’s move away a bit, so as not to trace back and cause trouble for you all."

"We two aren’t afraid of tracing back," Qian Zhong replied with a smile, "Even if a Fusion Stage cultivator makes a move, we’re pretty confident in avoiding them."

No wonder the Ancient Family famed for concealing their presence even dares to underestimate the Fusion Stage.

Feng Jun believed that Qian Feng is highly likely just in the Divine Spirit Stage, yet dares say she can conceal herself from the Fusion Stage. Amazed and curious, he couldn’t help asking, "Fusion Stage isn’t just tracing back, they can sense karma; even with concealed heavenly secrets, they can still vaguely sense."

"I know, vague sensing... like a sudden inspiration," Qian Zhong carelessly replied, "But even with vague sensing, it has to be precise. Our Yao Family’s concealment techniques follow the ancestors of Mahayana heritage, even a normal Fusion Stage can’t compare."

Feng Jun remained silent, only after a long while did he raise a thumbs up, "The Yao Family is indeed extraordinary, let’s head to Yiyao."

"Let’s go to Kunshui Garden," Yi Jue spoke up. Kunshui Garden is managed by her; although it’s smaller than Geng Zi Yuan, it’s richer in Spiritual Energy and isn’t far from Lingmu Sect’s mountain gate. When she isolates herself, she stays here, but when not, she goes to the mountain gate.

Feng Jun had been there once, but he was unwilling to go frequently, feeling a bit like going to a girls’ dormitory in college—somewhat awkward.

Thus, when he had matters to attend to, he preferred waiting for Yi Jue at Geng Zi Yuan—at least it seemed like a coincidence.

Feng Jun couldn’t help but express, "Going to Kunshui Garden, wouldn’t that expose you?"

"Am I afraid of exposure?" Yi Jue couldn’t resist replying, "I haven’t entered the Songzhan Sector or the Lingmu Sect mountain gate. If you go to Songzhan Sector, and I openly wait here for you, can suspicion be cleared?"

She had been holding back for too long; it’s unfortunate that she’s not involved in risky endeavors, but now, she can’t even cheer and encourage?

"Alright, alright, let’s go to Kunshui Garden," Feng Jun nodded helplessly with a smile, "Do any of you four have other suggestions?"

Han Hai True Sage and Wei Sancai turned their heads away, pretending they hadn’t heard, while Can Sheng and Qian Zhong remained silent.

The next moment, Feng Jun’s bus brought them to Kunshui Garden.

Kunshui Garden is a beautiful sector—at least the front view looks like that, with blue skies, green waters, and abundant verdancy.

But as for the back with its pits and bumps—it’s Yi Jue Elder’s technique experiment area. Some damage is inevitable, yet it’s lush and green.

In her own territory, Yi Jue first set up defenses—capable of blocking attacks from an Auspicious True Sage, then she summoned disciples to serve tea and water to everyone, being especially friendly, exuding the demeanor of a hostess.

She was greeting guests when a white shadow blinked over—it was a plump white bug, with dozens of insect legs directly clinging to Yi Jue’s leg, "Elder Yi Jue, where’s the promised Thought of Dao?"

"Didn’t I give you Thought of Dao?" Yi Jue stomped her foot, trying to shake the bug off, "We have important guests, stop fooling around."

Her stomping is unlike a regular person’s, on Earth, such a stomp might at least cause a country like Maldives to sink into the ocean.

But the Jade Spore Skyworm isn’t easily provoked; it hugged her leg tightly, "The promise was two times Thought of Dao, you only gave once... Cheat, cheat, the prettier the woman, the more deceitful!"

Yi Jue’s face turned pale, "Stop fooling around! Thought of Dao severely affects the foundation. I’m continuously nurturing it, still fighting... there’ve been so many matters recently in Tianqin, you should understand... Who let this fellow in?"

"I sneaked in myself," the Skyworm clung fiercely to her leg, refusing to let go of its many hands, "I know the debt collector’s the boss... or the lady, isn’t it okay for me to collect what I’m owed?"

Feng Jun felt a bit wistful too; recalling how the Jade Spore Skyworm was once so formidable against the Dragon Scale Tree, now it humbly acts like a migrant worker, pitifully asking for wages.

"You just called me ’lady’?" Yi Jue was almost choking with anger, "Leave immediately, I’ll give you one Thought of Dao when I Astral Project, it’ll be more effective."

"Boss," the Jade Spore Skyworm looked at Feng Jun, pleadingly spoke, "You must do something about her, breaking promises... this isn’t good!"

"Tonight, I’m deep-frying you to entertain the guests!" Yi Jue’s brows raised, "Leave now, and I’ll give you two Thoughts of Dao when I Astral Project... Take care!"

The Jade Spore Skyworm released its grip with all its many hands and darted out swiftly, "Alright, two Thoughts of Dao... it’s worth calling you ’boss’."

"Do you believe I might deep-fry you right now?" Yi Jue pulled out the horsetail whisk, but her mouth couldn’t help curling up into a tiny smile.

This scene left the other four momentarily stunned, after a long while, Qian Zhong chuckled lightly, "What a knowledgeable and sensible little worm... What kind of lineage does it have?"

"I don’t know either," Yi Jue composed herself. This was her private sanctuary, and as a homebody, she generally didn’t welcome outside visitors. But at this moment, she was truly happy and didn’t want to fuss over these matters. "Feng Jun, get on with the deduction quickly, don’t delay dinner."

Don’t delay dinner... Do we, with such cultivation levels, still need to eat? Feng Jun was a bit bewildered. "Alright, I will deduce."

Once he started deducing, he understood, "This Longyang Patron’s elixir... really is related to me."

Elixirs are related, which means Longyang Patron is related to him. But before this, not only did he not see him, he hadn’t even heard much about Longyang Patron’s name.

"Amazing, truly deserving of a deduction expert," Qian Zhong gave a thumbs up. She had expectations for Feng Jun, but Feng Jun’s performance exceeded her expectations. "Then go capture his relatives and friends. Don’t let any suspicious person escape."

"I have not mastered bloodline deduction," Feng Jun glanced at Yi Jue. "Let’s leave this to Fairy Yi Jue. Your two families are rivals, so it should be easy to find Longyang Patron’s family connections?"

Lingzhi Dao and Lingmu Dao were intense rivals, deeply understanding one another as enemies. Yi Jue contacted the sect and after a brief inquiry stated, "Longyang Patron rose from obscurity. He only has about twenty people in his family, not even a single Golden Core."

Feng Jun was taken aback upon hearing, "He’s a Nascent Soul, yet his family doesn’t even have a Golden Core?"

"They truly don’t have one, unless our information is wrong," Yi Jue answered firmly, "The information shows he values some inexplicable friends more... In fact, he doesn’t have many friends."

"I understand, a homebody’s trait," Feng Jun nodded, watching Yi Jue again, ’I also have a homebody trait in front of me.’

Yi Jue’s perception was sharp, "Why are you looking at me?"

"It’s nothing," Feng Jun shook his head, "Can you reveal the information about those friends of his?"

"No need," Yi Jue shook her head, "Tomorrow, I will post a task at the sect and bring them back directly."

As an Elder of the Eighteen Paths, she casually arranged to have the people brought back. It’s important to note that these people were located in different sectors, and transporting all of them to Lingzhi Dao is costly, not to mention capture costs.

"Let’s leave it to Xuanshui Sect," Han Hai True Sage spoke up, "If Lingzhi Dao acts, the intentions would be too easily guessed."

Yi Jue blinked and eventually nodded, not because she couldn’t provoke the Great Sage, but because he made sense.

While she was preparing food and drinks, Han Hai True Sage picked up the relevant individuals’ data, arranged for Feng Jun’s transportation to the Ice Plate sector, and posted a task—to bring these people and their main family members to the Ice Plains.

The task’s reward was a Void Treasure Hunt quota for each family brought.

Han Hai True Sage initially intended to offer Contribution Points as a reward, but Feng Jun insisted, ’How can my affairs make others spend?’

This way, it seemed like he was offering benefits to Xuanshui Sect, as a single quota amounted to a thousand upper spiritual stones, which was quite a lot for capturing a person and their family.

However, Han Hai True Sage couldn’t refuse; it was beneficial for the disciples of his sect. Thus, he made an extra note, "Make sure those taking the task consider carefully, if they mishandle things... it could lead to consequences."

In the following days, everyone stayed at Yi Jue’s Kunshui Garden. Han Hai True Sage was already indifferent, but for clan cultivators like Wei Sancai and Qian Zhong, resting in such an important place in the sect’s system was a rare experience.

Five days later, Xuanshui Sect sent a message that seven people and their main family members had already been brought to the Ice Plains.

The speed of completing the task was a bit shocking, as three of these people were roaming around Tianqin, yet they were swiftly captured by Xuanshui Sect from behind, causing admiration. Rewards indeed correlate with action.

Moreover, capturing these people didn’t require much effort. Despite Xuanshui Sect being fully prepared for contingencies, the captured individuals seemed puzzled as to why Xuanshui Sect wanted to take them.

Ultimately, when one of the Seven Paths came to collect them, it was very intimidating for ordinary cultivators and clans.

Among them, someone even indicated that a youngster from their clan was cultivating in Xuanshui Sect’s outer courtyard, meaning they weren’t outsiders.

Upon receiving the news, Feng Jun took everyone to the Ice Plains for another round of deduction.

This time, Xuanshui Sect brought more than three thousand people. The key was that among them were two relatively large Nascent Soul families, each with a population exceeding ten thousand, bringing key members like these over resulted in such a large number.

Feng Jun didn’t appear in front of such a large crowd but began deducing directly outside the house where people were detained.

The deduction quickly yielded a result: a cultivator named Ge Xiling at the Golden Core Eighth Layer had a significant connection with Feng Jun.

However, this connection wasn’t direct, as Feng Jun didn’t confront him but sent Xuanshui Sect’s disciples to interrogate the person—asking if he had any friends that know Longyang True Immortal?
