Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2348 Business Continues
No one could have imagined that Jin Ge Zhenxian would suddenly turn on them.

However, the other Star Eaters also knew that the Great Venerable who was being hunted down... usually had a bad reputation, for example, he liked to take advantage of others.

The Slowing Field of True Venerable Minning was also unleashed, and the attitude of the cultivators was self-evident!

"Stop! What did you say?" Grandmaster Raru roared at his fellow Grandmaster.

Private spiritual communication only ensures that others cannot hear the content, not that they cannot sense it!
"I just... wanted to ask about the purpose of the Heaven-Mending Stone!" The Great Venerable was somewhat flustered, hastily answering while dodging.

Because the Golden Immortal answered so easily, it couldn't help but want to stir up some trouble and gain some extra benefits.

But in reality, it hadn't even figured out how to cause trouble yet; it just asked a question outright to observe the other party's reaction.

Who would have thought that the other party, who seemed to have no emotions, would change his expression in an instant and strike a fatal blow.

It was only because it was mentally prepared that it managed to dodge the opponent's attack.

After everyone understood the reason, they were both amused and exasperated.

Apart from Qu Jianlei, everyone present was a Grandmaster. Who could not guess what this guy was up to?
Admittedly, its last question may seem meaningless, but meaninglessness can be interpreted as malice!

How could Jin Ge, a dignified immortal, possibly reason with the other party?

“You tapirs…” Venerable Minning was truly speechless.

If he weren't so reluctant to part with the Primordial Purple Qi and the Heaven-Mending Stone, he would have turned hostile right now, saying, "Have you no shame?"

These words carry great weight for cultivators, but the tapir race would never care about such things.
Not to mention the other five Star Tapir Grandmasters, they could also guess what their companion was planning.

"So the Sky-Mending Stones are used for refining artifacts," Grandmaster Laru nodded, giving that person a disgruntled look.

"You clearly knew it yourself, why did you have to make such a fuss? Was it worth it?"

The great master remained silent, thinking to himself, "How could I have imagined that these cultivators would have such volatile tempers?"

You can't blame the tapirs for their peculiar thinking. Since they succeeded in extorting a bribe the first time, why wouldn't they take the opportunity to try and get another one?
“We have already informed you of the purpose of the Sky-Mending Stone,” said Minning Zhenzun solemnly, “and this wondrous stone belongs to us.”

The Tapir Clan actually had no objection to the handling of the Sky-Mending Stone—even a single Great Venerable dared to privately exchange it.

As long as it can be confirmed that two more alien beings will be killed and their bodies released, then the tribe will have an explanation.

Moreover, a fight was about to break out, and if they didn't agree, the trouble would only get worse.

“This matter…we must inform the clan,” said another Great Venerable who was in charge of escorting them.

However, seeing the other party's cold gaze, it immediately added, "I will speak on their behalf, there shouldn't be any problem."

As it spoke, it cursed inwardly: Damn it, this guy almost messed up such a good job!

Escorting treasures is a lucrative job for the tapir clan, especially such precious treasures.

As long as you can make the other person happy, you can always gain something, no matter how little. This time, it was all for nothing!

The fact that the Heaven-Mending Stone can be used to forge weapons is a valuable piece of news, but now that all six Great Venerables of the same clan know about it, what value is left?
The news quickly spread that the Tapir Clan had agreed in principle to give the Sky-Mending Stone to the cultivators for a fee.

Upon hearing this news, Jin Ge Zhenxian finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thankfully, my anger wasn't in vain."

In fact, they had their eyes on the Hongmeng Purple Qi as soon as they learned that it was wrapped in five-colored stones.

None of the five had ever seen the Primordial Purple Qi, but they had heard about it so much that the five-colored strange stone must be the Sky-Mending Stone!
For cultivators, the Heaven-Mending Stone is a treasure that is almost as valuable as the Primordial Purple Qi!
Needless to say, if we're talking about luck, it's at least a "moderately auspicious" one!
Of course, this was a legitimate way of finding a bargain, since the tapir clan didn't know the true value of the Sky-Mending Stone.

Just like how the tapir race has not figured out how to use the Sky-Mending Stone for tens of thousands of years, isn't that a waste of resources?
So even though a minor conflict occurred, it was still worth it to obtain the Heaven-Mending Stone at the cost of killing two Nascent Soul cultivators.

Han Li Zhenzun looked troubled. "If I were to exchange the Primordial Qi for the Primordial Purple Qi, would you be willing?"

Upon hearing this, True Venerable Wenxian smiled and shook his head, "No, Han Li, I can't stand hearing this."

Can "superior luck" and "medium luck" be the same?

"Hmm," True Venerable Han Li nodded, Wen Xian was the partner he had invited, "This time we really made a fortune, but... it's hard to divide it!"

“But it would be too much of a loss to sell it,” Jin Ge Zhenxian sighed as well.

"I knew I was poor, but I never imagined I could be this poor!"

Han Li Zhenzun glanced at Wen Xian and said, "Do you know any wealthy Grand Venerables? I don't want to find a Grand Lord."

The Divine Lord can certainly afford the Primordial Purple Qi, but its unpredictability is too high.

Wenxian Zhenzun rolled his eyes. "The richest Grand Venerable I know is none other than you... unless Baiqiao uses the Lingyun Sect's assets."

However, if Baiqiao Zhenzun represents Lingyun Sect in making the acquisition, the price cannot be set too high.

Qu Jianlei thought of his own Dao stele and couldn't help but ask, "The Divine Lords...aren't they worried about karma?"

"What cause and effect is there?" True Venerable Hanli glanced at him. "They're not forcing anyone to buy or sell; they're just trying to haggle..."

"Understood," Qu Jianlei nodded. The Divided Soul Lord wouldn't force a sale, but as a junior cultivator, you have to be sensible, right?

Min Ning Zhenzun suddenly spoke up, "The Primordial Purple Qi and the Heaven-Mending Stone are really too hot to handle. Let's try to digest them internally."

"I can remove the Sky-Mending Stone," True Venerable Hanli casually remarked. "Other methods can also seal the Primordial Purple Qi."

He hadn't said it explicitly before because he was eyeing the Sky-Mending Stone, but now it was necessary to disassemble these two treasures carefully.

Otherwise, if no one in the team can afford it, wouldn't it benefit outsiders?
"I want the Sky-Mending Stone!" Venerable Minning declared without hesitation, his face radiating hope. "Please grant my request!"

With the Heaven-Mending Stone, his dojo could be directly upgraded to a spirit treasure, and could even be used for combat.

This trip was the perfect opportunity for him, and he couldn't allow himself to miss it.

"I advise you to be cautious," Han Li Zhenzun glanced at him indifferently, "Upgrading the dojo is a good thing, but don't you want to peek into the Divine Realm?"

“I…” Min Ning Zhenzun was speechless, and a conflicted look gradually appeared on his face.

Compared to creating a spiritual treasure, he would certainly prefer to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but... is that realistic?

After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed softly, "Then let's go and look for more opportunities first. Han Li, haven't you always suggested the same thing?"

Han Li Zhenzun shook his head and said leisurely, "The reason I reminded you this time is really not because of that."

"The main problem is that I've been struggling with this decision for a while now. Since we're all part of the same team, we should share the good times and the bad."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Minning was taken aback at first, then turned to look at him and nodded slightly, "Then I thank you very much!"

Han Li Zhenzun replied nonchalantly, "You don't need to be angry. Just pretend you didn't hear it... I'm doing this for your own good!"

Min Ning Zhenzun laughed in anger, "Say less, or I'm afraid I won't be able to resist hitting you!"

"You can't beat me anyway," Han Li Zhenzun muttered. "Alright, then let's leave it at that... Shall we go find Ratan?"

"Wait," a Star Eater Grand Venerable rushed over, "May I ask which Immortal Venerable has the time to accompany us to exterminate the dormant Awakened One?"

“The tapirs still have some spirit,” Jin Ge Zhenxian nodded, “but we won’t go.”

“There’s a reward,” the Star Eater Venerable revealed his hand directly. “No need to take action, just provide support. Two dormant beings will be deployed, and one will guard the rules!”

Upon hearing this, the four Grand Venerables all looked at Qu Jianlei.

The Star-Burning Venerable was a little puzzled. Why were they all looking at a small Nascent Soul cultivator in such unison?
“Don’t look at me, I can’t earn this,” the little nascent soul shook his head, “They’re looking for a Celestial Venerable, my strength doesn’t allow it.”

"Then forget it," the four immortal venerables immediately gave up on paying attention.

Even the most clueless Star Eater Venerable realized what was going on, "You can go if you want, but it's a bit dangerous."

It had to make things clear: the misunderstandings between the tapirs and cultivators were already numerous, and no new problems could be added.

The opponent is only a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if he has some trump cards, he is not truly a Nascent Soul cultivator and may not be able to withstand the danger.

“I didn’t want to go,” Qu Jianlei shook his head, stating calmly.

"You're smart to know what's good for you!" Just as the Star Eater Venerable breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the other party say another sentence.

"Two dormant beings leaving their bodies in exchange for a single guardian rule? Who are they underestimating? It's more like a one-for-one trade!"

"Oh my god..." Grandmaster Star Eater almost burst out laughing. "What if we encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator who hasn't perished?"

Don't think that it's just about eliminating the dormant out-of-body state. Aside from dealing with the Zerg swarm, you might also encounter the Zerg out-of-body state!
"I'm only responsible for keeping the hibernating ones under control," Qu Jianlei replied calmly. "If a living being leaves its body, I don't care!"

"You...aren't you going to do anything?" Grand Venerable Star Eater was taken aback. "I mean, how will you protect yourself?"

"You don't need to worry about self-preservation," Jin Ge Zhenxian said leisurely. "If it's a one-for-one exchange, I'll accompany him!"

"You... are accompanying me?" The Star Eater Venerable realized what was going on. No wonder this person dared to say that; it turned out he really had the confidence.

But since that's the case, it can't help but want to bargain again—there's no way around it, it's a cultural gene that's ingrained in its bones.

"But what if we encounter other alien races on the road, and your side doesn't intervene?..."

"I'm not going!" Qu Jianlei waved his hand, stating decisively, "Even if it's one for one, or one for two, I'm not going!"

"Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet," the Star Eater Grandmaster said impatiently, "I meant to say..."

"Don't say anything more!" Immortal Jin Ge interrupted it. "If you say another word, I'll beat you up!"

"How did the once great reputation of the Tapir tribe end up like this?"
