Chapter 1602 - 1585: You Can Still Use WeChat?
"That’s so true!"
"We are really lucky to have a grandmaster like Zhang Tianzhen."
"Indeed, when the new world opens, we’ll have to rely on Zhang Tianzhen, won’t we?"
"I think perhaps we may not even need Zhang Tianzhen; maybe even Master Fahua right here is already sufficient."
"Yes, yes, Master Fahua is apprenticed to Zhang Tianzhen, his strength is beyond imagination."
"You all flatter me, there is still a considerable gap between me and my mentor."
"How can it be such a gap? We all believe your strength is genuinely powerful."
"Yes, I agree..."
...
The banquet continued, everyone toasted and chatted away. Seeing Zhang Fahua delighted, they began to flatter more, praising Zhang Fahua’s mentor Zhang Tianzhen, and also Zhang Fahua himself, making him feel euphoric and extremely satisfied. After all, what does one seek in life but reputation? Now with everyone singing his praises, he truly felt like he was about to transform into a successor of his mentor.
While everyone was talking, a few loose cultivators arrived not far away, dressed in modern clothing, anxiously searching for signal with their phones in hand, abruptly changing the mood at the table. A family head glanced at these fashionable loose cultivators and remarked, "Sigh, I don’t know what’s going on, how come anyone could get into this meeting, are these even cultivators anymore, they look like ordinary people!"
His words barely settled before other family heads chimed in.
"Indeed! These loose cultivators don’t seem like cultivators at all."
"With an unstable heart, how can one speak of cultivation!"
"Nowadays, many loose cultivators are influenced by the secular world, no wonder their strength is so low."
"How many can withstand hardship nowadays; I say such loose cultivators shouldn’t be allowed to attend this meeting!"
...
Others began to express their opinions, believing cultivators should endure hardship and loneliness for progress on the cultivation path. Yet those individuals before them abandoned traditional values, dressed in modern attire, wandering around with phones; such people could never succeed in cultivation, just wasting time, and bringing shame to all cultivators.
As the discussion deepened, they got more heated, expressing disdain for these loose cultivators, which seemed to lack true qualities, eventually leading to a denouncement of them...
At this time, Zhang Fahua also expressed similar views, seeing those loose cultivators still searching for signal, he cheerfully told everyone, "Don’t worry, those loose cultivators will find no signal. This place is within the formation my mentor set up, modern technology is useless against a formation. These people are just a bunch of worthless individuals anyway, why even discuss them? Eventually, when they can’t find signal, they’ll know it’s due to my mentor’s formation."
With Zhang Fahua’s remark, the others shifted topics promptly, thinking he’s absolutely right. Since the formation here was laid by Grandmaster Zhang Tianzhen, it was impossible for any mishap to occur, not only were these few individuals’ phones unusable, but everyone’s phones were down—an incontrovertible fact—discussing those minor loose cultivators was just a waste of time, so they refocused on Zhang Fahua.
To them, Zhang Fahua spoke truly, there was no need to take loose cultivators seriously, better to flatter Zhang Fahua, hoping perhaps he would visit their prominent families someday, their primary goal indeed.

"Did you buy anything?" Lin Feng found Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, smilingly asking, seeing their faces lit with joy, he felt genuinely pleased.
"Look at this, isn’t it interesting?" Hearing Lin Feng’s voice, Ding Wan’er turned to him, excitedly said, handing something over to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng held the item, instantly comprehending, his face also breaking into a smile as he stood there. The item in his hand was familiar to Lin Feng, an old playful toy crafted by ancient artisans, its craftsmanship very complex, already lost to time. Finding such a thing here was quite a surprise for Lin Feng.
With curiosity, Lin Feng didn’t immediately activate the switch on it, but rather fiddled with it slightly, inexplicably causing one side of the square box to open, revealing a small box inside, containing some powder. Seeing the powder, Lin Feng smiled again.
"Wan’er, you’re being naughty, this is itching powder; who are you planning to prank?" Smiling at Ding Wan’er, Lin Feng casually asked. Ding Wan’er surely knew this itching powder was ineffective against him, so he was intrigued about whom Ding Wan’er intended to prank.
"Who am I pranking? I don’t know; I just plan to use it for self-defense against harassment." Seeing Lin Feng recognized the item and remarked as such, Ding Wan’er promptly covered her mouth, laughing, her eyes playfully teasing Lin Feng, as though saying, of course to prank you!
Seeing Ding Wan’er’s gesture, Lin Feng felt speechless, realizing Ding Wan’er was joking. But it was indeed a quite amusing joke. He gently tapped Ding Wan’er’s forehead and tossed the box back to her before continuing his inquiry, "What else did you buy?"
"We also bought something, not sure what it is. Lin Feng, care to help us take a look?" At this point, Leng Mei joined the conversation, handing Lin Feng something that seemed like a black brick, sensing it wasn’t ordinary, hence wanting Lin Feng to investigate further.
"How did you find it?" Lin Feng paused in surprise at the item Leng Mei handed over, indeed recognizing it since his mentor’s ancient book described it. The fact that the two ladies casually stumbled upon this was truly surprising.
"What is it?"
Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei originally still smiling, upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, they asked simultaneously, eager to know what this item was. During the purchase, even the seller lacked knowledge, prompting their curiosity and Lin Feng’s awareness of its backstory was entirely unexpected to them.
"This is called Refined Gold, a metal found only in meteorites; its shape can change under external compression. It has a feature no Earth metal possesses, which is stabilizing space. Combined with other formations, it can stabilize small worlds like the Spirit Realm, preventing their collapse even if impacted. It’s astonishing to find it here, quite fortunate."
Seeing Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei’s astonishment, Lin Feng explained, enabling them to grasp the item’s nature. Frankly, he was quite curious about it too—formerly seen only in the mentor’s ancient book, unexpectedly encountered here—for others it might be useless, but to him, it’s extremely valuable. With this, stabilizing the Spirit Realm would ensure safety even if a nuclear bomb exploded nearby, underscoring its marvel.
"So it’s so amazing!" Ding Wan’er was astounded after Lin Feng’s explanation, having never anticipated such understated black bricks held such capability. She was utterly clueless, let alone how Lin Feng knew, left pondering what occupies Lin Feng’s mind.
"Feng, are the kids and Liao Chen alright?" Suddenly Leng Mei voiced a concern. They were out shopping alone with Lin Feng, as all the children were with him. With Lin Feng alone appearing here, she wondered whether the children were okay.
"No need to worry, I’ve modified their phones too. If any issues arise, they will contact here." Lin Feng smiled at Ding Wan’er, briefly clarifying, then continued escorting the ladies around for more shopping.
Admittedly, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, two top-tier beauties, already attracted much attention here, and with Lin Feng added in, the trio became even more eye-catching. Even within a mostly cultivator community, cultivators were normal people, enviously wishing they could take Lin Feng’s place for such companions.
Thus, despite merely strolling, Lin Feng and the two ladies garnered countless gazes, fortunately accustomed, so they didn’t mind at all, casually strolling further...
Elsewhere, Liao Chen and the students’ phones had also been modified by Lin Feng for convenient contact if needed. As Liao Chen and his girlfriend, along with some students, strolled and chatted via WeChat, they became group chat attraction from Lingxiu Academy, stirring surrounding people’s attention.
Nearby cultivators noted Liao Chen and others using phones seamlessly, even playing WeChat, leaving them speechless, for their phones were unusable. They wondered why these people’s phones worked, feeling perplexed as if encountering the supernatural.
When continually observing Liao Chen’s group, they realized it wasn’t a random occurrence, as their WeChat and accompanying sounds never ceased, stunning witnesses, utterly unable to comprehend and left only with envy towards Liao Chen’s group.
Liao Chen’s group sensed surrounding people’s gaze yet had grown accustomed thanks to Lin Feng, mirroring his demeanor, ignoring others’ attention, joyfully exploring loose cultivators’ stalls with academy friends, disregarding others’ scrutiny.
