Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Treasure-Appraising Eye Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Treasure-Appraising Eye Master Yan feared his opponent but would not back down gratuitously. He smirked coldly, “Are you belittling my Wuyou Platform with your words?”

“Master Yan, if you put it that way, it seems like you’re finding fault where there is none,” replied Huang Fu Wu Xia with a smile.

She couldn’t afford to disrespect a master, but with strong backing, she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind, “What you seek is self-improvement, while I seek Spirit Stones… Our needs actually don’t conflict, wouldn’t you say?”

Master Yan spoke earnestly, “Of course, self-improvement is my top priority, but when it comes to doing business, Wuyou Platform is not lacking either.”

Huang Fu Wu Xia caught his drift and nodded with a smile, “Then I shall visit again in two days.”

Feng Jun also understood; Master Yan wasn’t completely opposed to selling the “patent,” but it involved the face of Wuyou Platform. How could they negotiate openly?

Next, the two of them should make contact in private.

This outcome didn’t surprise him, so he chuckled, “I’ll leave you to it then. I’m heading back. Oh… and don’t forget to get me five sets of the Lingzhi Formation materials.”

He had two sets of the materials for the Lingzhi Formation, but the Earth Plane currently required at least two sets, and Mount Zhige also needed one. It made sense to prepare a few spare sets.

After speaking, he turned and left, driving the all-terrain vehicle straight into Mount Zhige to start mining.

His mining efforts took another two days. He chose a location at the base of a rock formation and blasted a sizable cave, had the rubble cleared, transplanted the Spirit Plants inside, and finally installed a Lingzhi Formation within.

There were about one hundred and fifty Spirit Plants here; he left only fifty on the Earth Plane, as those could be accessed at any time. It was worth growing the ones here for now.

With members of the Tiantong Commercial Alliance around, he had to periodically check on “the people nearby” to prevent prying eyes.

Indeed, his high-profile mining activities meant that this cave could hardly be considered a secret. Still, housing the Lingzhi Formation here was much safer than exposing it out in the open.

Should the analysis of the Lingzhi Formation be kept a secret? Certainly, it should. Hence… just set up an Illusion Array outside the cave.

Of course, an Illusion Array wouldn’t deter experts, which is why Feng Jun placed two Infrared Trigger Mines outside the Illusion Array.

As a humanities scholar, dealing with Infrared Trigger Mines was somewhat challenging, but truth be told, life on a different plane really did toughen one up. The equipment he brought from the Earth Realm only needed slight modifications.

He removed the siren from the infrared alarm, added a relay, and as soon as the infrared alarm went off, the relay would close, completing the circuit and causing the Thunder Guan to detonate… boom, the explosives would go off.

Was it difficult? Not at all. Feng Jun tried making a dozen triggers; at first, his soldering skills weren’t up to scratch, leading to cold solder joints, but as he progressed, each one worked without fail, lighting up bulbs and inevitably able to detonate the Thunder Guan.

By noon of the third day, all the work was finished. He activated the Lingzhi Formation, stepped out of the cave, activated the Illusion Array, and then took out his walkie-talkie to call Lang Zhen, asking him to discuss with Tian Yangni about arranging for a few people to keep watch.

When all was said and done, formations were very useful, but the role of people couldn’t be underestimated–having personnel on guard was more reliable.

After all, labor was cheap on this plane. There was no reason not to utilize it.

No sooner had he finished calling out than he felt something amiss behind him. Turning his head, he saw Huang Fu Wu Xia standing not far away, nonchalantly watching him while standing on a red flower.

Feng Jun rolled his eyes in resignation, “I mean, if you’re coming, just come. Do you have to scare people?”

Huang Fu Wu Xia flashed him a toothy grin, “Master Yan has agreed to transfer the Lingzhi Formation to me.”

Feng Jun nodded nonchalantly, simply uttering, “Oh.”

Chairman Huang Fu’s large eyes looked at him curiously, “Aren’t you going to ask about the transfer price?”

“What for? He has already settled the fee with me,” Feng Jun was quite open-minded about this, “As for how he handles it, that’s his business.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Fu Wu Xia couldn’t help but praise him again, “You are truly a born merchant after all.”

Feng Jun looked at her speechlessly, “I am a born cultivator. I follow my heart and am not swayed by material things, alright?”

Huang Fu Wu Xia lifted her eyebrows in disbelief, “I came to tell you, you actually didn’t need to dig such a large cave.”

“It wasn’t much money,” Feng Jun replied casually, “Even if I don’t hide the Lingzhi Formation, I wouldn’t want someone to steal the Spirit Plants… even though they’re not worth much.”

Huang Fu Wu Xia spoke solemnly, “There are a few plants that are quite valuable. For instance, the Purple Belt Ganoderma.”

“Alright, I’m not selling,” Feng Jun cut her off. This woman was really too good at setting the pace, so he didn’t mind being a bit impolite, “You came all this way, is there something else?”

“I’ve brought you the ‘Thirty-Six Essence Blood Control Techniques,'” said Huang Fu Wu Xia indifferently, “along with thirty Mundane Receiving Charms, a fair deal for one hundred and ten Spirit Stones.”

“Thank you,” Feng Jun was elated, then he raised an eyebrow, “So soon?”

“How could I delay a matter concerning Daoist Feng?” Huang Fu Wu Xia replied with a smile, then took out a black Divine Sense Plaque and a stack of Storage Talismans, “Cash and goods exchanged hand in hand, no problem, right?”

“Of course, there’s no problem,” Feng Jun also slapped his Storage Bag and took out a sturdy… plastic bag, “One hundred and ten Spirit Stones, you can count them if you like.”

Chairman Huang Fu took the plastic bag, didn’t bother to count the Spirit Stones, and instead stared at Feng Jun’s Storage Bag, “This Storage Bag of yours is a bit small… interested in buying a larger one?”

Feng Jun looked at her oddly, “Truly worthy of the Treasure-Appraising Eye, you can even tell the size of a Storage Bag?”

Chairman Huang Fu also looked at him strangely, “The Storage Bag is a Tiantong product, how could I not recognize it?”

It turns out that Yu Meiren’s family doesn’t have a strong backing, unable to obtain Storage Bags from their sect, of course, they have to buy from the Immortal Market.

Out of curiosity, Feng Jun asked, “How much for this Storage Bag? Oh… and do you sell your Treasure-Appraising Eye?”

Perhaps this was Yu Meiren’s Storage Bag? Chairman Huang Fu pondered internally, yet her face showed no emotion.

She replied indifferently, “You can ask about the price of the Storage Bag yourself. As for the Treasure-Appraising Eye, I’ve said before, ordinary people can’t learn it–it’s not a matter of money. Unless… you want to search my soul?”

Search your soul… Feng Jun was quite speechless at this remark, and he simply packed up the goods he had bought, “Alright, someone is about to arrive, you’re not thinking of snatching up those defective Spirit Plants, are you?”

“No, that’s not it,” Chairman Huang Fu shook her head, “I just wanted to ask… well, ask what kind of Formation you can decipher.”

Actually, she felt a little anxious because she was holding the Divine Sense Plaque passed down from her ancestors in her hand.

The Huang Fu family was quite far from here; they had sent things over by using a Teleportation Formation, and then delivered them from thousands of miles away through Spirit Birds of prey.

This was something ordinary people could not do, so it seemed like they had been sent over urgently from the Eastern Branch.

She intended to monitor Feng Jun, but this was her first time using the Divine Sense Plaque.

The last time the old ancestor exerted Divine Sense, he didn’t use the Divine Sense Plaque, and activated the old ancestor’s Divine Sense protective Talisman, annihilating a Cultivator who intended to violate her– that wretch planned to force his way and become the son-in-law of the Huang Fu family.

Thus, using the Divine Sense Plaque for the first time, she couldn’t help feeling excited and a bit apprehensive.

Feng Jun initially didn’t want to offer his services to her, at least not too readily, otherwise she wouldn’t appreciate it.

But the hundred and ten Spirit Stones left too quickly, and thinking about the many followers he had back in the Earth Realm, he too had to bow to the proverbial millet, no choice, Cultivation was simply too expensive.

Moreover, he needed to familiarize himself with more Formations to deepen his knowledge system, so he answered seriously, “I’m not sure which Formation you’re intending to analyze? Let me make it clear… not every Formation can be deciphered by me.”

“I understand that,” Chairman Huang Fu smiled and nodded, “First, I’ll provide three Array Plates for your study, and then… I will bring more Array Plates later, definitely not stingier than Wuyou Platform.”

Feng Jun’s mouth twitched slightly, wondering what Yan Shangren had told her.

However, since the two families were acquainted, he didn’t expect Wuyou Platform to keep those secrets, so he nodded slightly, “Very well, but don’t rush me. As for once I decipher a Formation…”

“Once you decipher a Formation, we’ll discuss the specifics accordingly,” Chairman Huang Fu stated decisively, “And I promise, you’ll get at least a ten percent commission.”

She knew that Feng Jun also had a ten percent commission from the Spirit Gathering Array, but how could Wuyou Platform’s sales strength compare to the Tiantong Commercial Alliance?

Feng Jun hesitated before speaking, “I still need to discuss this with Wuyou Platform.”

Playing the strategy of the highest bidder wins was something he could also do, and it indeed involved some promises.

“I know what Array Plates he has given you,” Chairman Huang Fu waved her hand and declared confidently, “We have already negotiated. The Formations analyzed from those will all belong to Wuyou Platform. The Array Plates I give you, if you can decipher them, will be mine.”

Feng Jun chuckled, “Dividing the market, eh? That’s an effective way to resolve disputes.”

When the two returned to the courtyard, Chairman Huang Fu directly took out three Array Plates and handed them to him, “Take a look first. Tell me directly what materials you need, and I’ll arrange for someone to deliver them.”

But Feng Jun wasn’t in a hurry to request the materials–better to delay.

That day and the next, he was indeed contemplating the Array Plates. He had already found a clue for one of them.

The Formation was called the Spirit Binding Array.

However, his priority at the moment was still to practice the Thirty-Six Essence Blood Control Techniques.

He hadn’t started practicing in the first two days after obtaining it because he had an intuition that if he started rashly, some danger might occur.

So he decided to relax for two days, and after sleeping soundly, he exited the Mobile Phone plane on the morning of the third day.

In fact, at that time, Chairman Huang Fu hadn’t slept either, she was meditating while thinking: Feng Jun… really knows how to keep his cool.
