Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2402 You are popular

Qingkong Zhenzun is not afraid to fight Han Li, but this clone is probably no match for him.

Most importantly, this is the void, and without sufficient preparation, it is difficult for the main body to project power to provide support.

What's even more crucial is that this is his first time in this void.

If Han Li were to make a move and insist on severing the cause and effect, his true self would not even know what happened, and would have no clue how to take revenge.

I can roughly guess that he was killed by Han Li.

However, if someone insists that you were killed by an unknown entity in the void, that's perfectly plausible!
Ultimately, he wanted to secretly keep an eye on these three to see what would happen, but he dared not make too much of a fuss to avoid being discovered.

Otherwise, as long as there is a slight influence of cause and effect, the entity will be able to sense something.

However, the Great Protector knew very well that Han Li was among the people he was keeping an eye on, so how could he do that?

That would have been too easy to be discovered, and it would have been easily seen as deliberate provocation, unlike now, where curiosity can be used as an explanation.

In any case, he would do his best to protect this clone as long as the situation allowed.

Han Li also knew his limits, and he was basically aware of Qing Kong's current state.

Destroying this clone of the other party would essentially create an enmity that obstructs the path to enlightenment. Even if the cause and effect could be erased, a hidden grudge would still be formed.

But ignoring it isn't an option either—do you think I'm being lenient with you, or do you think I'm lacking in cultivation?
However, if True Venerable Qingkong is willing to help Qu Jianlei leave his body, then it's not impossible to put this matter aside for a while.

When Jin Ge saw that Han Li did not attack immediately, he understood what was going on, so he decisively spoke up to smooth things over.

"I wonder how the Great Protector plans to assist us?"

“I can lend you an extremely spiritual vein,” a hint of pain flashed in Qingkong Zhenzun’s eyes, “but you’ll need to leave your body in a place devoid of spiritual energy, right?”

Even among immortals, portable spiritual veins are extremely rare.

It's not easy to refine, and in order to prevent it from degenerating into a disposable product, its susceptibility to warming and maintaining must be enhanced.

When attempting to break through to the Out-of-Body stage on a fifth-tier spiritual vein, the spiritual energy is much more abundant, and a successful breakthrough will not cause too much damage to the spiritual vein.

Moreover, spiritual veins can recover on their own, as long as they are not overused in the short term.

However, if it is replaced with an extremely spiritual vein, the damage will be more severe, and it will require long-term nurturing afterward, which could take hundreds or even thousands of years.

Moreover, nurturing a spiritual vein with extreme spiritual energy will also have a certain impact on the spiritual vein it is located in.

In short, very few people do this because not only are extremely rare spiritual veins hard to find, but the cost of advancing to the next level is also much higher.

“Okay,” Han Li nodded readily. “If you keep your promise, this matter will be considered settled. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

They are all immortal venerables. To spy on someone without permission is extremely offensive. If he insists on making a fuss about it, it is entirely justifiable.

"Why would I go back on my word now?" Qingkong Zhenzun snorted. "But don't just use mine, use yours too."

He didn't believe that the other party hadn't possessed a similar treasure, given that they had chosen this method of advancement.

Then he felt it necessary to emphasize that he shouldn't let his spiritual veins be used recklessly. He apologized, but he wasn't trying to cheat people on his own!
"Hmph," Han Li snorted, "One extremely spiritual vein might not be enough for Xiao Qu, so you'll just be an extra helper!"

"I'll give it to you when we get back," Venerable Qingkong didn't continue the topic, deciding to leave it at that.

According to rumors, Han Li is not a petty person. Although he is a bit domineering and unreasonable, he has never been known to be unscrupulous in his actions.

The Great Protector felt he had made a significant contribution, asking, "In that otherworldly realm of the dead you're talking about, am I included?"

“Impossible,” Han Li refused decisively. “It’s not that I’m stingy, but I don’t want to put Xiao Qu at any risk!”

"Are you kidding me?" Venerable Qingkong exclaimed in astonishment. "Scheme against him? Am I crazy?"

Han Li remained unmoved. "Give me a reason why you wouldn't scheme against him. Hmm, don't bring up the Haoran Sect!"

"His luck..." The Great Protector gestured with his chin toward Qu Jianlei, "He knows it himself, you can ask him if you don't believe me."

"At my age, how foolish would I be to scheme against a cultivator with such extraordinary fortune?"

"Your luck..." Han Li glanced at Qu Jianlei thoughtfully.

As a former chosen one of destiny, he also has a keen sense of destiny.

He had noticed Xiao Qu's luck before and found it quite strange, with two completely opposite feelings.

One is indeed an astonishingly vast fortune—to put it simply, how could a mere Nascent Soul cultivator possess so many heaven-defying treasures?
Moreover, Xiao Qu's team has an incredibly rich history; they have so much information about other worlds.

But another feeling is that the other person is also plagued by bad luck. Just look at their experience to illustrate the point.

Han Li had previously been reluctant to mention this matter because he wasn't very interested in it, or at least had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

Luck is a fickle thing; it comes and goes. As long as he's sure that the cooperation with the other party won't result in a loss, and he's meticulous in his actions, that's enough.

Han Li pondered for a few moments, and finally said, "I'll listen to Xiao Qu on this matter; his decision is mine."

Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment before replying, "If the Great Venerable can swear by himself, it's fine to go together."

"This Venerable One..." True Venerable Qingkong couldn't hold back any longer and rolled his eyes. Could you be any more insulting?

He suppressed his anger and spoke slowly, "Swearing an oath with this clone will have almost the same effect. Young friend, I am the Great Protector Lingyun!"

I've heard of bullying, but I've never heard of a Nascent Soul cultivator daring to force someone to leave their body like this.

Then he looked at Han Li and said, "You know my current situation. Swearing an oath with my clone is enough."

Ultimately, he's still affected by his current state. If he were two thousand years younger, he might actually have some ideas.

However, there are no assumptions in this matter; people's judgments about anything must be applied to the specific context.

"Who can say for sure?" Han Li replied calmly. "If you don't intend to break your oath, what if I swear one?"

That's a matter of face, okay? Qingkong has already emphasized his identity as the Grand Protector of Lingyun.

As for the saying that one can disregard face when faced with interests... that's not wrong either.

However, such humiliating behavior can really affect his ability to think clearly!

At the critical moment, Jin Ge spoke up again, "Great Protector, how about this, we can go after Master Qu Ling successfully leaves his body!"

This is a very fair suggestion. It won't take long for Xiao Qu to advance to the next level. He can go again in a few decades. Who cares about the time?

You really are... Qingkong glanced at him, somewhat speechless. He's clearly the sect's sorcerer, so why does he always side with outsiders?

However, now that things have come to this point, if he hesitates any longer, he might be seen as having ulterior motives.

He made up his mind and said, "Then I'll swear an oath. I just don't want to waste any more time... If there's an opportunity?"

"Whoever gets the opportunity gets it," Han Li replied without hesitation. "I don't need these few odds!"

"However, one thing is very important: we cannot stand idly by when the team has needs."

"Don't worry about that," the Great Protector replied without hesitation, thinking to himself, "How many other worlds have you explored?"

Even excluding the cultivation world, he has explored dozens of other worlds!

"Then it's settled!" Han Li said casually. "Let's go back to the sealing formation in Cangwu first!"

It took them about ten days to get here, but it was much faster on their way back, only three days.

What happened next is unnecessary to elaborate on. Two days later, Qingkong's true form appeared, and surprisingly, Minning was with him!

It turned out that the Great Protector was thinking that Jin Ge was really unreliable, so it would be better to recruit another sect's retainer.

It is worth mentioning that Qingkong and Minning have a decent relationship, because neither of them, as protectors or enshrined figures, are powerful figures in the sect.

Baiqiao Zhenzun will strictly control the share under Minning's name in terms of resource supply, but Qingkong has no need to do so!
Han Li was somewhat surprised by Min Ning's appearance. "Is your dojo incomplete?"

“The preliminary work is done,” Venerable Minning replied casually. “The rest is just a matter of time and patience; I don’t need to oversee it personally…”

That's secondary; the key point is that he also highly values ​​Xiao Qu's luck.

This time, after hearing from the Great Protector how strong Xiao Qu's luck was, he immediately followed along—a new other world, I can't wait!
"That's really true. Aren't you afraid someone will raid your base?" Han Li asked curiously. "Didn't you say your men were attacked?"

“Just a bunch of petty scoundrels,” Min Ning replied dismissively, then paused for a moment before adding, “But Xiao Qu is quite popular in Houde!”

It turns out that after Baiqiao Zhenzun returned, he really did arrange several fake bodies for Qu Jianlei.

One of the imposters was in the core area of ​​the Lingyun Sect, while the other was assigned to the back mountain of the sect.

Even the disciples of the sect don't know which one is real. In any case, the sect's official stance is to protect its partner.

However, outside the Lingyun Sect, there was another "Master of Quling" who appeared and disappeared intermittently, making a fuss from time to time.

Sometimes they hire celestial beings as guards, and sometimes they secretly sell a large amount of supplies.

This Quling leader even attacked a mid-sized force's outpost, claiming that these were the people who attacked the people of Minning.

Anyway, Lord Quling is quite famous in the Houde Realm now, and many forces want to deal with him.

The main problem is that among the interdimensional exploration team, Wenxian is unknown, Minning and Jin Ge belong to Lingyun, and Hanli is even more difficult to deal with!

This Lord Quling is currently only at the Nascent Soul stage, making him the easiest to control.

Then it is said that a true master intervened to divine the truth, but... the secrets of heaven were obscured, and it was impossible to determine whether it was true or false.

It's understandable that the two imposters from Lingyun Sect were protected by the sect.

That elusive fellow outside even managed to project his body to help conceal his presence; it seems he really did find a Celestial Guardian to protect him.

For a mere Nascent Soul cultivator to request the protection of a True Venerable, it's definitely not just a matter of spirit stones; even slightly inferior treasures wouldn't be enough!

Then rumors circulated that the Lord of Quling must have used an opportunity from another world to obtain the protection of a celestial being...
