Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2442 Extraordinary Background
In response to Qing Ning's questioning, the ascetic replied confidently, "If it weren't for the benefit of many True Venerables, do you think I would have changed my mind?"

"The rules of creation are being watched by countless people... Let me be frank, even if you agree, I still need to report back to you!"

He was only in charge of the sect's daily affairs; he wasn't the kind of person whose word was law.

Moreover, although he was helping to facilitate the transaction, he would not be able to explain it to the sect if he could not ensure that the sect would benefit appropriately!
When Lingyun makes transactions with the outside world, if he doesn't gain an advantage, he will feel that he has suffered a loss—that's how all behemoth powers are.

Anyway, Baiqiao said he was in a difficult position, and after much haggling, the two sides finally reached a certain consensus.

The specific transaction cannot be executed at the moment; Baiqiao Zhenzun still needs to go through the procedures within the sect.

Qing Ning also did not carry the dragon's remains—those were his Daoist partner's items, and although the two were very close, he would not touch them.

In any case, the plan has been agreed upon; all that's left is to implement it.

Qu Jianlei watched this scene indifferently, certain that he could obtain another stroke of good fortune, and could only smile bitterly in resignation.

His expression piqued Baiqiao's curiosity. "Fellow Daoist Qu, you still don't think it's enough?"

The reason he offered to help wasn't to do a good deed; his real purpose, as he had previously admitted, was that this was a new path to leaving the body!

Qu Jianlei's ability to perfectly exit his body proves that the path is useful, but as an isolated case, it is not very convincing.

Lingyun is a major sect, and naturally it also has the problems that a major power has – if it wants to do something serious, it must win people's respect and admiration!
That's why he got involved, trying to make the deal happen and then observe the effects of the shockwave.

“It is indeed a bit insufficient,” Qu Jianlei replied expressionlessly, “but since Senior Han Li has agreed, then let’s leave it at that.”

"We can't let it go," Qing Ning said anxiously. Things had already come to this point, and he couldn't tolerate any unexpected events.

The path to the astral projection corresponds to a specific secret, and if the other party is dissatisfied with the transaction, the consequences can be severe.

They don't need to fabricate false information; they just tell the truth. They only need to say a few words less at crucial points!
This may not necessarily involve cause and effect—because there is no wrong information. It's just that everyone makes mistakes from time to time.
Therefore, such transactions must satisfy the other party to avoid unforeseen human-caused accidents.

Although Qing Ning has a slightly impatient personality, she is very knowledgeable about these things.

"What else is missing, Qu Zhenzun? Just tell me. But could you please not set the bar too high?"

He felt somewhat uncomfortable, because no matter how shocking the new path of astral projection was, the other party would basically not suffer any losses.

The treasures he took out were real gold and silver; his own treasury was empty!
However, all the other party needs to do is offer some pointers.

If we don't consider that Qing'er's departure from her body would change the power structure and potentially have some impact on the other side, then there would be no loss.

He has already promised not to leak it, and there is only one beneficiary. What can you, Qu Zhenzun, lose?
"Tsk," Qu Jianlei clicked his tongue, "Let me put it this way, my Out-of-Body Technique was also calculated by myself... Understand?"

"Damn it..." Qing Ning couldn't help but swear. Although he didn't react immediately, he realized that this was not a simple matter.

The next moment, he realized, "So... it's related to the cultivation technique?"

What do you think? Qu Jianlei didn't answer, he just stayed there quietly.

"Damn!" someone exclaimed, this time from the ascetic. "Did you... deduce that yourself?"

The world of Houde is not lacking in exceptionally talented individuals. There are more than just one or two cultivators who can invent new cultivation methods, and even more who can modify existing ones.

But even a Nascent Soul level cultivator couldn't deduce a new cultivation technique... let alone a Nascent Soul Grandmaster! Not to mention that Xiao Qu at that time was only a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Well, we must admit that in any world, there are always people with sudden whims, and even more so, there are always crazy people who overestimate their abilities.

But not only did the other party deduce the new technique, they also dared to try it themselves. This is insane... truly beyond belief!
Even more outrageous is that the other person not only tried it themselves, but also successfully achieved an astral projection!!

Not only was it a success, it was a perfect exit from the body!!!
Where the hell can we go to seek justice?
As the head of the sect, Baiqiao possessed far more common sense than ordinary True Venerables, and had seen and heard many strange things.

But he never expected that such an unbelievable thing would happen: You're not the illegitimate son of the immortal, are you?
He couldn't voice his doubts, so he could only glance at Han Li: Was he telling the truth?

Han Li Zhenzun calmly stated, "Qu Zhenzun has a wealth of experience, and most of the techniques for leaving the body are not quite compatible with him."

He actually had some doubts about whether Xiao Qu had a real Nascent Soul technique—after all, she came from the World of Absolute Spirits!
So his words were actually helping the other party cover up their true intentions, thus eliminating some potentially unrealistic greed.

But that's not wrong either. Qu Jianlei not only has a wealth of experience, but his martial arts techniques are also diverse, and he doesn't have a consistent system for leaving the body.

Han Li wasn't lying, but she did intentionally mislead others.

"It really is..." the ascetic muttered to himself, then fell silent, his face expressionless.

"Oh my god..." True Venerable Qingning finally came to his senses, "Then I won't say anything more, I'll add another Heavenly Jade Crystal!"

"Tianqiong Crystal...the world of demons?" Jin Ge, the living encyclopedia, finally reacted.

"What the hell is all this?" the expressionless ascetic muttered again.

"One other world after another, is this truly an era of great strife... has it arrived?"

“It’s the world Qing’er was born into,” Qing Ning said in a deep voice. “That world collapsed and condensed into the Heavenly Crystal.”

The Heavenly Crystal is a supreme treasure of the demon race, capable of cleansing the marrow, transforming tendons, and reshaping the bones. Even the great lords of the demon race would fight fiercely for it.

Although this item is only useful for demons below the Nascent Soul stage, it's like resetting your stats in a game to the highest level and starting over!
The Heavenly Crystal is slightly less effective for human cultivators, but it is the best treasure for replenishing resources when the Nascent Soul breaks through to the Out-of-Body stage!
This item is basically useless to Qu Jianlei, but it is definitely a highly sought-after item among countless Nascent Soul cultivators of the human race.

According to legend, it can be compared to the ancient elixir of leaving the body!

However, since it is only most useful when impacting the body, the True Venerable of Lime automatically downgraded its importance, making it less important than the remains.

However, he believed that this item, as a bonus, was absolutely invaluable.

The other team claims to be all brothers and sisters, but is there no one among them who wants to leave?
"Wow," Han Li realized, giving the woman in green a meaningful look, "Your background is quite extraordinary!"

“I…I’ve already taken it,” the woman in blue explained carefully. “There’s only one left, and I guarantee it’s genuine.”

Fearing that the several powerful figures opposite her might become suspicious, she could only take the initiative to explain: It is definitely not a fake.

"It's not easy to fool us," Han Li snorted and stopped talking.

"This..." Qu Jianlei was genuinely tempted. He raised his hand to calculate for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Then it's settled!"

What the other party said was not a lie, and such a treasure could be useful for both Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan when they were advancing in rank.

Fate and the rules of creation, plus a Heavenly Crystal... this deal is indeed worthwhile.

With the negotiations reaching this outcome, he didn't even mind that the other party was blocking the door.

Everything has two sides; without the other party's recklessness, how could we have achieved what we have now?

And just as Qing Ning thought, there was no cost involved in what he paid!
Wrong. It wasn't without cost. The initial calculations took a lot of effort, time, and money!
It's like scientific and technological research and development. You spend a lot of money to achieve results, and once they are promoted, it's equivalent to reducing the research costs.

However, while he felt it was a good deal, Qing Ning had some ulterior motives. "That Yuan... shall we talk about it now?"

Qing'er is not of the fire element, but rather of wood with water in it. However, if there are any unusual movements when she leaves her body, Yuan is a good talisman.

Like the Heavenly Crystal, Yuan is a rare treasure for Nascent Soul cultivators, but relatively ordinary for those seeking to leave the body, unless it is Daoist Yuan.

What Qu Jianlei just showed was a cluster of hidden-patterned essence, which is also very useful for leaving the body, but it is not as good as the bright-patterned essence.

Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, "I feel like you don't have anything decent left, no need to change!"

“Tsk,” Han Li glanced at him helplessly, “I can ask her for a wisp of vital energy, which can help me control the pace of Nirvana…”

"Oh my god, then we'll change it!" Qu Jianlei instantly understood. "But it can only be a Yuan without hidden patterns!"

When he first met Han Li, he subconsciously mentioned the matter of Nirvana.

This puzzled Han Li at the time: "Look at my aura, does it seem to be related to Nirvana?"

However, after Han Li met Jing Yuexin, he understood why Qu Jianlei couldn't forget her: this woman had practiced an incomplete Nirvana technique.

Qu Jianlei knew very well that if Jing Yuexin wanted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, she would inevitably have to take the Nirvana route.

The Nirvana Technique has also been partially supplemented by the heroic spirits, but it is still far from being the original.

In fact, Nirvana was originally a cultivation technique created by cultivators who borrowed cultivation methods from the demon race.

True Nirvana belongs to the demon race. As a human, Jing Yuexin can only achieve a near-perfect rebirth, but she can never be equated with the true one.

The woman in green opposite me is a demon, and if this energy comes in handy... it should have a miraculous effect!

As for when the Dragon Clan was incorporated into the Demon Clan, Qu Jianlei said he didn't understand either—after all, the other party came from the Demon Clan world.

However, based on his instinctive perception, he felt that the Yuan was already sufficient for the other party, and there was no need to use that cluster of hidden Yuan.

For poor families, living within their means is not shameful!

“Yes,” True Venerable Qingning made a decisive decision, then asked in astonishment, “Fellow Daoist Qu, you… have more than one Yuan?”

“More than one Yuan…” the ascetic muttered softly: Just how many treasures did these guys get their hands on in this other world?
"That destroyed a planet, the consequences are huge!" Qu Jianlei replied casually. "I didn't even ask you how many Tianqiong Crystals you had."
