Chapter 1462: Chapter 1462: A Happy Ending for All
Nie Chifeng sat cross-legged on a bamboo bed, focusing on her breathing while contemplating inwardly. She was collecting her breath.
She harbored some discontentment about the mission from Rongxun Hall: Feng Jun was indeed crucial to the Crimson Phoenix Sect, but why did it have to be her who guarded him?
As her life counted down its days, she felt that her rightful place was in seclusion at Rongxun Hall, coming out every ten or so days to check on various news about the Crimson Phoenix, engage in some verbal sparring, and then continue her retreat.
Thus, on this mission, although she carefully observed her surroundings, much of the time she remained in seclusion to minimize the loss of her vitality. After all, she was within the Hidden Formation and didn’t worry about others seeing her, especially since she was facing Feng Jun’s residence directly.
Like now, she spotted a little girl at the eighth stage of shedding mortals, walking out of Feng Jun’s residence.
Nie Chifeng knew who the girl was, the female attendant of Mountain Master Feng. She couldn’t interfere with Yue Qing, currently in the residence, but this girl she could, so she extended her Divine Sense, "What’s the matter?"
Mi Yunshan looked around, knowing that the question came from Rongxun of the Crimson Phoenix, but unable to see anyone, she couldn’t just speak to the air, could she? So she cupped her hands, "Greetings, Elder."
Nie Chifeng sighed; although dissatisfied with the mission, she had still done her part, including routinely changing her observation point.
However, right now she didn’t want to switch places again immediately, so she didn’t close the Hidden Formation, just sent her Divine Sense over, "Walk straight ahead for a mile and a half, and meet me under those two Wutong trees."
Mi Yunshan drove an all-terrain vehicle to the Wutong trees, and though she didn’t see anyone, she respectfully said, "Greetings, Elder. Mountain Master requests Sun Rongxun to proceed immediately to the residence."
"Sun Rongxun is cultivating," Nie Chifeng, despite her aversion to Guan Hongxiu, still maintained what needed to be maintained, "Is it Rongxun of Crimson Phoenix, or is it imperative that she goes?"
"Mountain Master Feng specifically requests Sun Rongxun," Mi Yunshan replied respectfully, "May I ask, Elder, should I invite her, or...?"
"Of course, you should go," Nie Chifeng replied forthrightly, thinking that fellow is cultivating, how could she easily interrupt her?
Upon receiving Mi Yunshan’s notification, Sun Rongxun was not at all bothered by the interruption of her cultivation, transformed into a Falcon Swan, and flew towards the residence.
Upon landing, she reverted to her human form and cupped her hands to Feng Jun, "Greetings, Mountain Master Feng, greetings, Master Yue."
Yue Qing smiled wryly but couldn’t say anything. Inwardly, she couldn’t help but murmur, first greet the Elder, then the Master... I really feel like a failed Master here.
"Sun Rongxun, please sit," Feng Jun gestured with a hand, speaking indifferently, "We need to speculate on something, hence the invitation for you to come over."
"Alright, no problem," Sun Rongxun responded without hesitation, casually sitting down, picking up a cup of tea, and leisurely savoring it.
Feng Jun swiped on his mobile phone for a while, then lit a cigarette and sighed softly.
"Indeed, there is an unexpected delight... Master Dong, if you can cultivate with Sun Rongxun from the Crimson Phoenix, get her to detoxify you, you could be fully healed within three years, and with five more years, solidify your foundation, then continue cultivation."
"What?" Dong Qianjun was overjoyed at the words, "In eight years, I can fully recover?"
"If the speculation is correct, that’s how it is," Feng Jun answered blandly.
He hadn’t expected that by putting the two together to speculate, there would truly be a pleasant surprise.
Essentially, Sun Rongxun is at the stage of absorbing toxins, and with enough toxins absorbed, quantity will trigger qualitative change, and the third Nirvana of the Jinwu Nirvana Technique can be implemented.
However, Xia Nichang had prepared more than sixty thousand toxins, but evidently not the "Fierce Wind Poison." This wind poison cannot exist alone; strictly speaking, without cultivators being affected, fierce wind wouldn’t manifest as a poison.
Even if Taiqing could collect some fierce wind, it would only be wind, not wind poison.
Only after acting on the human body, with cultivators aiming to expel it, can it manifest as wind poison.
Feng Jun felt he had matched a lot of toxins for Sun Rongxun, but he hadn’t encountered this poison. While wind poison is troublesome, for Great Sun Golden Crow, wind poison is really nothing — under intense flames, various toxins will scatter.
Moreover, regarding the techniques of Crimson Phoenix, wind poison might not necessarily be a bad thing — everyone understands the principle of "fire borrows wind strength and wind borrows fire strength."
This matching attempt was also an experiment for him. Dong Qianjun faced the entanglement of wind poison, difficult to expel, and Feng Jun didn’t know whether this human-shaped wind poison could be of significant help to Sun Rongxun.
The results proved exceedingly gratifying.
However, upon hearing this, Sun Rongxun felt a bit unhappy, "Mountain Master Feng, I want to know, what does it mean to cultivate with me?"
Feng Jun thought for a moment before answering, "Master Dong was attacked by the Fierce Wind from beyond, suffering from the bone-deep poison, which is quite unfortunate for him. However, Sun Rongxun, you’re currently collecting all kinds of poisons... you could help him out."
What he said was actually quite biased. What does "currently collecting all kinds of poisons" mean? In the end, Sun Rongxun has a strong need for poisons; rarer poisons, of course, require careful matching.
Both parties have needs, yet he made Sun Rongxun sound innocent and righteous. Clearly, his stance was somewhat skewed.
Dong Qianjun was naturally very grateful, but Sun Rongxun still hesitated a bit, "Mountain Master Feng, I’m certainly willing to help, but you need to explain to me this cultivation method... After all, I belong to the Kun cultivation path."
Yue Qing had been watching coldly the whole time, making the logic of the entire matter crystal clear, and then spoke up solemnly, "My disciple needs you to help expel poison; the cost is negotiable, but Guan Hongxiu, you should know my reputation."
After all, Yue Qing, who was only seventy or eighty years older than Sun Rongxun, usually didn’t bother to look downwards. But he knew Guan Hongxiu when she was quite famous in her heyday.
Sun Rongxun, however, shook his head decisively, "Helping is no issue, but that Master Yue can remember a small figure like me, I don’t mind not charging. However... my reputation is at stake; may I ask Mountain Master Feng?"
Feng Jun didn’t even wait for her to ask, immediately sending over a piece of Divine Sense, "Absorbing the poison in his body will increase your pill formation probability by eight percent, giving you a fifty-nine percent chance of forming a pill!"
What kind of person was Yue Qing? He acutely sensed Divine Sense fluctuations in the air.
He frowned, just about to speak, when the short woman, Sun Rongxun, spoke up, "Alright, I’ll help him expel the poison. As for the specific method, we can discuss... I’ll follow Feng Zhenren’s instructions."
Dong Qianjun candidly stated, "I’ll also follow Feng Zhenren’s arrangement!"
"It’s not that difficult," Feng Jun bluntly declared, "It’s merely an Intermediate Level Spirit Gathering Array. Master Dong, just adjust your breathing in steps, and the Fierce Wind Poison you release, Sun Rongxun will help absorb it."
In fact, the matter was pretty simple: one needed to drive out the toxin, and the other needed to absorb the toxin; neither party needed to make any contact.
The Fierce Wind Poison in Master Dong’s body was still being continuously generated. Even if he restrained himself, it wasn’t too effective.
As for Sun Rongxun wanting to absorb the toxins, a bridge could be directly established between them — after all, they were cultivating within the same Spirit Gathering Array.
Moreover, the faster she absorbed the toxins, the less effort Dong Qianjun would need to suppress them, speeding up the poison expulsion.
These principles didn’t need to be elaborated on — the Cultivation level of everyone here was at least Intermediate Level, wouldn’t they grasp such a thing?
Feng Jun was operating within the Spirit Gathering Array, which was of Intermediate Level, as everyone discussed and decided to simply conduct a field test.
Test results were flawless, and Sun Rongxun confirmed, "I can handle this amount of Fierce Wind Poison for him, but as for others in the Qinggang Sect, I’m afraid I can’t help."
"Thank you very much," Dong Qianjun paid no heed to his fellow disciples; it’s not that he was heartless — the severity of his injuries was due to saving his fellow disciples. He felt that the poison in others didn’t really concern him, "I won’t say a word about this."
As the two discussed, Feng Jun and Yue Qing exchanged meaningful glances.
After a while, Yue Qing’s mouth twitched slightly, delivering an impassive message, "Well... I’ve actually been using him as a cover, although he’s my disciple and truly deserves pity, I really had no intention of dragging Mountain Master Feng into this."
Clearly, you are a side character; how did you think of standing on the protagonist’s stage? He felt he had no ground for reasoning.
Feng Jun remained indifferent, in fact, he was just a little surprised, "I really didn’t expect such an outcome; it is somewhat a pleasant surprise... It won’t interfere with our main business."
Yue Qing could only respond with a wry smile, "The main business won’t be affected, but if Qianjun really recovers quickly, it will cause significant upheaval in the Qinggang Sect... There are quite a few cultivators like him in the sect."
"And so what if there are a few?" Feng Jun replied nonchalantly, even not minding leaking some secrets, "In the Crimson Pheonix Sect, the only one who can match Dong Qianjun in cultivation is Sun Rongxun, so thinking about broadly implementing it is overly ambitious."
Yue Qing was normally quite composed, but upon hearing this, he couldn’t help being a little taken aback, "Is Guan Hongxiu the only one who can help Qianjun?"
Feng Jun had no intention of explaining much more, merely waving his hand, "It’s his destiny."
"Alright then," Yue Qing also acted decisively, nodding his head, "and about the deduction fee."
Feng Jun was equally straightforward, "Such deductions depend on the complexity. Normally, I charge five thousand Spirit Stones, but since Sun Rongxun is needed for assistance, I’ll charge only two thousand. You should negotiate the other expenses with Sun Rongxun."
Sun Rongxun was momentarily stunned, then quickly waved her hands, "I dare not! If Mountain Master Feng commands, I will obey, as for fees, let’s drop it."
