Chapter 421: 421: Otherworld version of Lin Daiyu

“Falling Thunder Technique?” As soon as Feng Jun heard this answer, he knew he couldn’t refuse.

After thinking it over, he sighed softly, “I need to think about it… With the Shadow Physique, which basic cultivation technique would be suitable?”

“Back then, that member of the Immortal Family mentioned he had a unique technique,” sighed Mi Shijie somberly, “Afterward, I inquired about it and it seems that any technique from the Taiyin Lineage would be appropriate.”

After pausing, he finally realized, “Ah, I was just mentioning it in passing. If you, Divine Doctor, choose to grace her with your guidance, that would be her good fortune… It doesn’t matter which Immortal Cultivation Technique.”

“Not fixated on the technique…” Feng Jun furrowed his brows in distress, damn it, I don’t have many techniques.

The Immortal Cultivation Techniques he had for those in the Five Elements Transcendence phase were limited, and even he himself had become enlightened through martial arts.

As for the Qi Refinement Realm, his technique was the Devouring Primordial Heaven, which could barely accommodate one person’s cultivation. Involving someone else would absolutely not work—not to mention for his own parents to cultivate, he imagined he would have to fight back tears.

It was simply too draining on the spiritual energy.

Seeing Feng Jun’s reaction, Mi Shijie also became slightly uneasy, “Could it be that you only have hereditary techniques?”

Hereditary techniques are the foundational cultivation techniques of Cultivators, typically strictly forbidden to be shared with outsiders, let alone to someone over twenty years old—such an act would be considered a waste, a desecration of their own heritage.

“Yes,” Feng Jun said with a troubled furrow of his brows, “the purpose of my trip is to collect more techniques. Couldn’t you guess?”

If all else fails… he would have to find a member of the Royal Family to see what technique was inscribed on that wooden box.

Mi Shijie blinked, “Aren’t you… skilled in the Mysterious Primordial Saber Technique?”

The Mysterious Primordial Saber Technique had already been brought up by Chen Junwei, and everybody knew about it—it was a definite martial pathway to enlightenment.

If some other Qi Refinement Cultivator used the Mysterious Primordial Saber Technique, no one would think much of it, but the Divine Doctor himself had demonstrated Innate ability, and a hundred zhang at that, which was common knowledge.

This meant that the Divine Doctor might possess unique Dharma that allowed for dual cultivation in both Xianwu and martial arts, and his martial path had also achieved Martial Enlightenment.

Feng Jun rolled his eyes, looking at him unamused, “Starting martial arts at twenty-one, how many years do you think it would take her to reach the Innate level? Honestly, she would be better off practicing Five Elements Transcendence.”

“Five Elements Transcendence… that could work,” Mi Shijie’s eyes lit up, having of course heard of this Immortal Cultivation Technique, “After transcending the mortal plane, she can then look for a Taiyin technique.”

Of course, if he could choose, he wouldn’t want his family’s Cultivation Seedling to practice such an all-too-common Five Elements Transcendence, but… did he have a choice?

In all honesty, the mere fact that they didn’t kick him out upon hearing Mi Yunshan wanted to engage in cultivation at twenty-one was already more than generous.

However, Feng Jun was still deep in thought, frowning… After Five Elements Transcendence, for the Qi Refinement Realm’s cultivation technique, he only had one set.

Well, he could only take one step at a time. Rising to his feet, he said, “Bring Mi Yunshan to me later, I need to assess her aptitude… If it’s not suitable, you’d best consider changing the condition. Of course, you don’t have to give me the Falling Thunder Technique.”

What a joke, now that I’ve told you, how could I not give it to you? Mi Shijie chuckled, “Alright.”

No matter what, the fact that the other party agreed to consider different conditions if the aptitude wasn’t right was already a fine attitude.

Leaving the cave, Feng Jun’s figure flickered, shooting away directly. His incredible speed ripped through the fine curtain of rain, creating a long white vapor trail behind him.

Mi Shijie stepped out after him and saw this spectacle, shaking his head slightly, “Sigh, I hope he takes a liking to Yun Shan.”

He felt that what Feng Jun meant by aptitude could likely be referring to appearance—having a mundane woman accompany a Cultivator, if her looks were not up to par, wouldn’t it be quite demeaning?

Feng Jun returned to the small courtyard in less than an hour, and was informed by Tian Family Disciples that Mi Shijie brought a woman seeking an audience.

Feng Jun received the two of them in the living room, and he could tell at a glance that the young girl must be Mi Yunshan.

The girl was of medium height, around 1.65 meters tall, with a slender build.

As for her appearance… how should it be put? Mi Shijie certainly would not dare to fool an Immortal—she was truly pretty.

Fine brows, almond-shaped eyes, perky little nose, cherry lips, and a pointed chin—in the Earth Realm, she would be considered a top-tier beauty.

But Feng Jun couldn’t care less for such people, as she was not his type.

If he had to compare her to a similar celebrity, she would be a template of Chen Xiao Xu—the Lin Daiyu of the last century.

And not only did she resemble Lin Daiyu, her temperament was the same—delicate, weak, with a perennially furrowed brow, lacking presence and charm…

According to Mi Shijie, Mi Yunshan was available for intimate companionship, but Feng Jun truly felt nothing; he highly suspected that if he were to practice Yoga with her, she might spit blood from frustration…

Well then, it was best to see if she was “nearby” before deciding if she was suitable or not.

After Feng Jun emerged from his mobile phone, he pondered for a moment and then spoke seriously, “Her vitality isn’t abundant enough; it needs to be nourished… Huh? Is this the Falling Thunder Technique?”

As he was sizing up Mi Yunshan, Mi Shijie had already extracted an old booklet and handed it over.

Once Feng Jun saw the Falling Thunder Technique, he became immersed in it. This Dharma, it really was… formidable!

This technique could be practiced from the Qi Refinement Realm and included methods for the Detachment Phase. Most importantly… there was an extrapolation for the Golden Core Stage!

According to the records in the booklet, the person who obtained this technique only received the Qi Refinement and Detachment Phase methods; it was incomplete, and there must be Golden Core and even Nascent Soul Stage methods behind it, but… he could only speculate about the Golden Core Stage.

When Feng Jun pulled his mind back from the booklet, Mi Shijie had already stood up, bowed deeply to him, and spoke with a smile, “Since the Divine Doctor seems satisfied, then… may I take my leave?”@@novelbin@@

Feng Jun blinked and glanced at Mi Yunshan, “A pity about the Five Elements Transcendence…”

“Not a pity,” Mi Shijie let out a bitter laugh, “fate plays tricks on us, she missed the opportunity… I dare to ask a favor, could you tell others that you have taken her into your quarters?”

“Taken into my quarters?” Feng Jun frowned, but seeing Mi Yunshan’s pitiable look, his heart softened, “First, become a female attendant, and we’ll discuss the rest later.”

Upon hearing this, Mi Shijie also breathed a sigh of relief. He was not intent on sending his niece to the Divine Doctor’s bed, but if she followed the Divine Doctor and there was no talk of her being taken into his quarters, if others guessed that someone from the Mi Family might be a cultivator, the trouble would be even greater.

If not taken into the quarters, it was also acceptable for her to be a female attendant. He nodded with a smile, “Then I will take my leave first.”

After he left, neither Feng Jun nor Mi Yunshan spoke, and the room fell into a strange silence.

Back in the Earth Realm, Feng Jun was not strictly chaste, but flirting… also required a certain feeling, right?

Moreover, when it was clear she was at his disposal, it actually lessened his interest in conquest.

God knows how long it was before Mi Yunshan gracefully rose to her feet, walked over to the table, picked up a teacup, pushed open the door to pour out the cold tea, and poured a cup of hot tea from the teapot, silently placing it beside him.

Feng Jun then pulled his attention away from the Falling Thunder Technique and gave her a glance, nodding slightly, “Good… I don’t like talkative people.”

With her head bowed slightly, Mi Yunshan replied softly, “Yunshan will remember.”

Her voice was soft and tender, in the style of Lin Daiyu.

Feng Jun’s heart softened, “Wait a while. Once you’ve recuperated a bit, I’ll arrange for you to be near the Spirit Gathering Array, to hunt for the feeling… For now, the only Dharma suitable to impart to you is the Five Elements Transcendence.”

“To be able to start cultivation, I am already very content,” Mi Yunshan spoke quietly, “Since I have followed the Divine Doctor, I am naturally under your command… I ask that you bestow upon me a name.”

“Bestow a name…” Feng Jun pondered for a moment, then shook his head, “Nevermind, just keep your name as it is. I’m not good at naming.”

He understood the concept of bestowing a name; it was part of the ritual of an Immortal Family guiding a mortal, not a mandatory practice, mainly intended to make the guided person understand that once they have joined the Immortal Family, they must leave behind worldly affairs.

Someone like Yu Changqing didn’t receive a new name and used her secular name because she was taken in at a young age, and the influence of her Sect on her was much stronger than that of the Yu Family.

By saying this, Mi Yunshan at least showed that she had the right mindset, indicating that from now on, she would follow Feng Jun’s interests. As for her family… it didn’t mean she wouldn’t care for them at all, but if there was a conflict of interest, she would prioritize Feng Jun.

Feng Jun didn’t continue with the name bestowment. The act of bestowing a name was just a ritual and wouldn’t bind her in truth; what really mattered was that she could say so, which comforted him inside.

——His secrets were too great; a leak could have severe consequences. Although he wouldn’t allow her to come into contact with these secrets, having someone by his side whom he couldn’t trust would make life much more difficult.

So he waved his hand, “Alright, go and call Chen Junsheng for me, tell him I need to see him.”

The Chen Junsheng he mentioned was actually Chen Junwei. Aside from the Chen Family members, others couldn’t distinguish the two.

Mi Yunshan certainly knew who Chen Junsheng was. She blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering, “I… on your behalf?”

Isn’t that obvious? Feng Jun gave her a look and spoke indifferently, “If you’re not representing me, you won’t be able to summon him.”

Mi Yunshan left the room and soon returned with Chen Junwei, accompanied by Lang Zhen.

The gaze of Lone Wolf occasionally swept over her body, obviously not out of romantic interest, but rather filled with intense wariness.

“Old Lang, from now on Yunshan will be my female attendant,” Feng Jun spoke indifferently, “If she doesn’t understand something, teach her more.”

Lang Zhen’s eyes flashed with confusion, then he nodded decisively, “Alright.”

He had always wondered why Feng Jun never sought female companionship, considering even he, a married man, had spent some money on women while on Mount Zhige—old habits from his time in the Escort Bureau.

At one time, he had even thought that Doctor Feng might have some peculiar tastes—he was a little too good to Feifei.

Now, the Divine Doctor was finally going to have a beautiful woman as his attendant, which was a good thing.

Feng Jun paid no attention to him but turned to Chen Junwei, “I need someone with blood ties to the Royal Family.”
