Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2294 Pressure

Upon hearing this, the Venerable Minning replied dismissively, "They will handle it themselves; we must trust their abilities."

Then he glanced at Jin Ge again, "Don't laugh at their narrow-mindedness. Inner disciples, how could they know the hardships of the training grounds?"

Jin Ge Zhenxian didn't bring anyone with him. Qu Jianlei could have released Jing Yuexin and the others, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Immediately afterwards, Venerable Minning asked another question, "It's the perfect time for training troops, Lord Quling, what are you doing?"

This is indeed a good time to practice. By helping the Great Lord clean up the mess, we can get used to the tactics of the alien race.

Qu Jianlei smiled but did not respond to his suggestion. "We've already killed too many. Let the Great Venerable's people familiarize themselves with the situation."

However, under these circumstances, the training effect is not particularly good.

The Tree Clan noticed cultivators appearing in the direction of the Forgotten Wind and gradually realized: These are not friendly forces!
Realizing that all was lost, they turned and fled in a frantic manner.

Seeing that more and more Tree Clan members were fleeing, a Nascent Soul cultivator asked Venerable Minning whether they should pursue and attack relentlessly.

However, Min Ning said that it was enough to stop there—after all, it was impossible to completely silence them.

A day later, the battle came to an end, and Minning Zhenzun's subordinates returned one after another, leaving only three warships to guard the surrounding area.

After a day of fighting, it was clear that the cultivators in the dojo cooperated quite well.

At this moment, the fluctuation point is still continuously ejecting space stones outward.

Min Ning looked at Golden Spear Immortal, "Shall we go in and take a look?"

“Sure,” Jin Ge nodded without hesitation, “but the opening is a bit small. What if it affects the jetting?”

Minning Zhenzun knew his intentions; it wasn't that he couldn't deliver a second blow, but it wouldn't be worth it.

Anyway, every penny saved counts. With a thought, a large hand appeared in front of him.

He reached his large hand into the opening, and slowly applied force with his index finger and thumb, managing to widen the opening by half.

Qu Jianlei pursed his lips. Sure enough... this is what a Grandmaster should be like.

He remembered clearly how hard the team had worked to break through the spatial gap.

However, although the opening was widened a bit, the force of the space stone's jet did not decrease.

“Hmm? That’s interesting,” Venerable Minning pondered for a moment, then looked at Jin Ge. “If you use too much force, you might damage the internal structure.”

“Then I’ll go,” Jin Ge Zhenxian said, his body flashing as he transformed into a golden ray of light, shooting straight toward the gap.

Since the size of the opening doesn't affect the jet force, his rushing in like this won't have any impact.

Immediately afterwards, a white figure flashed out from the body of Venerable Minning and rushed over.

Meanwhile, Min Ning's true form remained outside, standing quietly.

Inside the warship, a cultivator muttered to himself, "That Lord Qu seems pretty useless."

"Don't talk nonsense," someone shouted. "Being able to fight alongside the Immortal Venerable is not something you or I can criticize at will."

"Perhaps he's just a lucky Nascent Soul cultivator," some people still disagreed.

Nascent Soul cultivators and Immortal Venerables... the difference is too great. Are there few Nascent Soul cultivators in the Daoist temple? Who is worthy of fighting alongside an Immortal Venerable?
However, a significant portion of the spoils from the battle will go to this Nascent Soul cultivator, which makes one feel somewhat... disappointed.

Not long after the two entered the gap, the number of space stones being ejected decreased significantly, but the ejection speed did not decrease much.

As time went by, the number of space stones decreased rapidly, and after half a day, they were almost gone.

The next moment, two figures shot out, one of them a white shadow that went straight into the body of Minning Zhenzun.

Golden Immortal stepped onto Feng Yiwang's body and sighed softly, "This... Minning, shall we continue?"

“This won’t be easy,” Min Ning Zhenzun frowned, glancing at Qu Jianlei with a hint of regret.

The two of them simply swept away all the space stones inside, without continuing to break open the space on the other side.

If Xiao Qu were also a Celestial Venerable, continuing the adventure shouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately he isn't.

But after thinking about it again, he felt relieved. If the other party was indeed a Celestial Venerable, would it be his turn to participate in the exploration?

Even if it were our turn, the allocation method wouldn't be like this!

Qu Jianlei pretended not to notice his glance and asked, "What's inside?"

“A strange energy field,” Jin Ge Zhenxian replied casually, “extremely violent; further exploration is dangerous.”

“The danger is not small,” Minning replied thoughtfully, “and there is no sense of goodwill.”

His perception is somewhat stronger than that of the Golden Horse Immortal.

"Then forget it," Jin Ge shook his head regretfully, "I'll come back when I'm out of my body!"

Min Ning nodded slightly, having a clearer understanding of the dangers: "Risk does not necessarily mean reward."

Qu Jianlei blinked, then asked, "Or... should we wait until the energy burst ends?"

“Then…” the two Grand Venerables exchanged a glance, “Let’s leave an anchor point and have the clone monitor it.”

Ultimately, the two didn't want to waste too much time, since they hadn't yet found the entrance to the Tree Clan's world.

I do feel a bit of pressure; Han Li and Wen Xian went directly to the Asura World.

Although the time required to explore another world should be measured in decades or even centuries, those two things require a stroke of luck.

In this way, the time could be shortened a lot, and then... what if they also get here?
Those two followed me all the way to the league, weren't they just trying to find their way around?
Jin Ge and Min Ning knew very well that they needed to reduce their consumption in order to deal with more dangers, but they had no choice in this situation.

As for whether they secretly complained that Xiao Qu was holding them back, only heaven knows.

Qu Jianlei could roughly guess what the two were feeling, but what could he do?
Regardless, it was he who brought the three Grand Venerables here.

If someone genuinely feels that his role is dispensable, then it's best to avoid cooperating with such a tactless person in the future.

As for whether he was dealing with a tiger for its skin, he wasn't particularly nervous; it was just that some things couldn't be forced.

Fortunately, the two Grand Venerables managed to take stock of the space stones and distribute them during their journey.

Qu Jianlei received exactly twice as many space stones as Jin Ge, so there should be no shortage of them.

This was just his harvest, and it was more than double the space stones he had obtained when he left the alliance. He was satisfied.

It's clear that raiding someone's base is much better than hiding outside and scavenging for scraps.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he still asked, "Could you get me some bigger ones?"

In certain specific situations, only large space stones can be used, and their average value is naturally higher than that of smaller ones.

However, some space stones are so small that they cannot even be used to make flawed items; they can only be used to make small storage talismans, let alone the Black Steed Tower.

"You're really not being polite," Jin Ge Zhenxian asked him, "Why?"

“I have a use for you,” Qu Jianlei said without explicitly stating it.

“Go find him to exchange,” Jin Ge Zhenxian pointed at Min Ning without hesitation, “He can use even a small piece.”

Small pieces are indeed useful when maintaining the dojo, and they can also be given away as rewards to so many low-level cultivators under Minning's command.

Minning Zhenzun rolled his eyes at Jin Ge, took out two sizable space stones, and exchanged them for the small fragments without asking any further questions.

Xiao Qu's request was a bit presumptuous, but he understood that the other party was also testing his attitude.

He wouldn't care about such a small matter.

During the rest of the journey, the three took turns calculating every now and then to see where there might be any anomalies.

From this point of view alone, Xiao Qu is a qualified teammate, and his divination ability is not much worse than that of Da Zun.

Qu Jianlei knew his own situation, and although he didn't use seashells, he was quite attentive when performing divination.

Qi Da is not a good match. Cooperating with Da Zun certainly saves a lot of trouble, but the pressure is also great.

On the fourth day of their wandering, it was Qu Jianlei's turn to perform divination again. He discovered something unusual and pointed in a certain direction, exclaiming, "There!"

The other two Grand Venerables raised their hands and pinched, then decisively headed straight in the direction he pointed.

Here, another Nascent Soul Mother Tree appeared. Immortal Jin Ge nodded in satisfaction, "There's another one... Not bad!"

It's great to have a good start, but it would be a bit disappointing if we didn't have one after that.

Minning Zhenzun nodded slightly, "This time it's your turn... Be careful, this one is stronger than the last one."

However, although this plant was not newly sprouted, it was still quickly killed by the two Great Venerables.

Six days later, they discovered the third mother tree. This time, the lion's share would go to Minning Zhenzun, who had also contributed the most.

"There are quite a few souls emerging from here," Jin Ge Zhenxian said, a hint of reluctance in his eyes as he watched the other party put away the mother tree. "There should be more."

Qu Jianlei's lips twitched slightly. Only the two of you would think that way. If the people in the league heard this, they would definitely curse you!
However, after this battle, the two True Venerables did not continue their journey.

Minning Zhenzun chose a forest of alien tribes and released his subordinates, saying, "Go and practice your skills."

Qu Jianlei didn't ask what happened, but he could guess that after killing three emerging mother trees in succession, they should take a break.

So he released his four Nascent Soul cultivators and three old-fashioned regimental-class ships, "to help suppress the enemy."

Jin Ge Zhenxian also said without ceremony, "I'll come into your cave to rest for a bit."

Qu Jianlei was not surprised by this. Even Min Ning Zhenzun needed to rest, so Shu Zun must be even more exhausted. So he let him in.

The two Venerable Ones made the most of their time by doing this, leaving no stone unturned.

Minning Zhenzun glanced at him, then lowered his eyelids. "Young friend, please put in some extra effort."

His body didn't disappear, but it was clear that some of his clones had gone into the cave to replenish their energy.

“Okay,” Qu Jianlei nodded without hesitation. So it seems that at least he wasn’t completely useless, right?

This entrustment represents trust, but he still felt a vague sense of pressure.

Those two might not care about bringing along a tiny ant, but... he himself is very thoughtful.

The Taoist temple's team spent five days slowly and methodically eliminating this forest, and then the Venerable Minning found another one.

By the time they attacked the third forest, the cultivators at the dojo were noticeably more skilled and took more risky actions.

Qu Jianlei couldn't determine the true venerable's condition, but he could still observe the depth of these nascent souls.
