Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2476 Car Crash
After his family returned, Qu Jianlei broke through the space and rushed to the entrance of the Tree Clan World.

When he arrived, the new camp was almost complete, and most of the cultivator teams had already begun their raids.

The cultivators from Cangwu, however, had not yet set off and were resting in their camp, waiting for the people from Red Leaf Ridge to arrive.

Among these people were many cultivators from the Four Sacred Mountains of the One Palace, who could be considered subordinates of the Lingyun Sect.

Now they actually rely more on Red Leaf Ridge, which can be seen as a sign of the people's hearts turning against them.

After the two sides reunited, everyone set out to explore the vast world.

Qu Jianlei and his four companions remained at the camp, assisting the cultivators in getting through the initial adaptation period.

However, this adaptation period was much longer than that of the Asura World. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the team still encounters problems from time to time.

Moreover, this world is clearly much more dangerous than the Asura realm, and the casualties among cultivators are also increasing significantly.

Fortunately, no one complained. Since they came to conquer another world, they were all prepared to suffer losses.

The key point is that the output of this world is much more abundant than that of the Asura world, and the benefits and risks are proportional.

In the sixth year, which was the ninth year after everyone arrived in the Asura World, the second wave of cultivators arrived in the Tree Clan World.

This time, there were more cultivators, and their backgrounds were more diverse, including not only small forces or families, but also some independent cultivators.

At the same time, Qingning Zhenzun finally found a more suitable location and came to invite Qu Zhenzun to perform divination.

Qu Jianlei went there with Han Li this time. They felt that the planet was indeed nice, except that there was a mother tree that occupied it.

With the help of the Three True Venerables, the tree race on this planet was easily wiped out.

However, not long after, scattered groups of tree-folk arrived, and these were not subordinates of the mother tree.

The Tree Clan has now discovered that, in addition to their archenemies the Tapir Clan and the Insect Clan, their world now has a new enemy—the Immortal Cultivators.

For the Tree Clan, the aggression and destructiveness of cultivators far surpasses that of the Insect Clan.

Previously, the Tree Clan had been engaged in relatively fierce internal strife, but they had no choice but to band together for mutual support, which led to a significant increase in communication among them.

This phenomenon gave Qingning a bit of a headache. "Looks like I'll have to invite more people to protect me!"

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly upon hearing this, "The Tree Clan has the ability to send things from a distance, so we must be wary."

"There's this too?" Upon hearing this, Qing Ning felt even more overwhelmed and couldn't help but look at the pitiful Qing'er beside her.

“It will probably take another fifty to seventy years,” Han Li said calmly. “By then, the great war will be almost over.”

In the current Tree Clan world, dozens of True Venerables are searching for opportunities everywhere, and several of them have even suffered minor injuries.

The two True Venerables who had previously been at the intersection of the Asura worlds also abandoned their further comprehension and rushed here.

Ultimately, the opportunities in this world are far greater than those over there, and its resources are also much more abundant.

However, there is ultimately an upper limit. Han Li believes that most opportunities will be found within 30 to 50 years.

Later on, the main force of attack and plunder will become cultivators below the True Venerable level.

It's not appropriate for Zhenzun to make a move on those relatively low-end gains.

Firstly, it would be too embarrassing, and secondly, if a powerful figure were to shamelessly intervene, it would likely draw intervention from the management if it happened too often.

The five True Venerables, including Qu Jianlei, and the Lingyun Sect collect management fees, and the corresponding order must also be maintained.

Han Li judged that Qinglong would have another fifty to seventy years to break through the barrier, and there was still enough time.

Speaking of time, Qu Jianlei remembered something, "How about we go and see what opportunity lies at the three mother trees?"

When the group of five left last time, that opportunity was still about fifty years away. Now, if you calculate it, it's still about ten years away.

The key is that with the large influx of cultivators, there might be unexpected changes, and opportunities might emerge ahead of schedule.

It would be a bit of a pity if other True Venerables beat them to it first.

Han Li nodded upon hearing this, "Go first, and then inform those three."

This was an opportunity discovered by the group of five together; it would definitely not be appropriate for just two people to go and retrieve it alone.

During these six years, the Five True Ones would occasionally go out alone, and the opportunities they gained did not need to be told to others.

However, there was nothing particularly noteworthy to be gained, and this one remaining opportunity was naturally on everyone's mind.

Qing Ning said he was free at the moment and just wanted to join in the fun; he would be happy to lend a hand if needed.

When the three arrived at the star cluster, they were shocked to find that Qingkong and Song Yue'er were fighting with the two mother trees.

There used to be three mother trees here, but the third one has disappeared. It's unknown whether it left or was destroyed by the two True Venerables.

These two are actually quite powerful, but both mother trees have a large number of subordinates.

The two True Venerables were locked in fierce combat when they suddenly noticed these three. Qingkong spoke first, "You don't need to take action; just help keep them in check."

Clearly, when opportunity knocks, one should not hesitate to seize it, even if it's a fellow Daoist with whom one gets along well.

Han Li scoffed, "Where did the other mother tree go?"

"Holy crap..." Qingkong was stunned for a moment, almost getting a black line appear on his face. "You guys have been watching this for a while?"

The three newly arrived True Venerables did not answer, but directly joined the battle.

Five against two is easy. After quickly eliminating the tree clan, the space fluctuated, and Jin Ge and the other two arrived.

Upon seeing these three, Qingkong became even more displeased. "This opportunity... was also found through our collaboration."

“If we hadn’t been in such a hurry to go back, we would have just stayed here waiting,” Min Ning retorted without hesitation, not one to hold back either.

"The opportunity hasn't arrived yet, so there's no such thing as first come, first served, right?" True Venerable Qingkong was absolutely unwilling to give up his rights.

Song Zhenzun added, "If you're going to keep guarding it, then fine, but... we killed a mother tree before!"

“Then let’s divide it equally,” Han Li said casually. “We can’t just withdraw; that doesn’t make sense.”

Qingkong and Song Yue'er exchanged glances, and finally nodded.

They've been treasure hunting for years without much success, and this time... they still feel a bit disappointed.

However, there is no doubt that the group of five had discovered this place beforehand, so dividing it equally was the best possible outcome.

Suddenly, Qing Ning spoke up, "This opportunity will probably take about five more years, right?"

“It was originally supposed to be more than ten years,” Qingkong replied in a deep voice, “because a mother tree had done some damage before.”

Han Li calculated that if the remains of the two fallen mother trees were thrown in, it would basically unlock an opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Qingkong and Song Yue'er hesitated a bit, as the remains of the mother tree could also be a good material.

The key issue is that the two are too proud of their status to compete with other lower-level cultivator teams for the Mother Tree, and they don't have many similar resources.

Seeing their reluctant attitude, Venerable Wenxian simply suggested that we just break through and seize the opportunity!
This kind of thing has happened before, even excluding the time when Red Giant Star obtained the Dao of Life and Death.

Song Yue'er was still hesitating when Qing Kong spoke up, "Then let's break it open, so we don't have to worry about two more True Venerables coming."

The True Venerables also explore this world in teams—this is a reaction after they've learned their lesson.

On the Asura side, the True Venerables basically explore alone, but the Tree Clan world is truly far too dangerous.

After the agreement was reached, the seven True Venerables joined forces to attack the star cluster—they did not need to use their full strength, but rather to precisely control their power.

After attacking for about half a day, Qing Ning Zhenzun, who was holding the line, suddenly spoke up, "Qu Zhenzun, I feel that the vitality inside is very strong!"

Qu Jianlei paused for a moment, then realized what he meant, "You want to choose this place?"

“Hmm,” Qingning Zhenzun nodded, “I have a feeling that this place is best for Qing’er.”

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, True Venerable Qingkong turned his head to look at him. "That would require delaying the birth of this opportunity."

He was very clear about Qing Ning's needs, and having reached the level of a True Venerable, he understood the cause and effect of helping others achieve their goals.

It's impossible to give away an opportunity for nothing, but the other party is also a True Venerable, so they shouldn't be unable to afford the price of purchasing the opportunity.

“Then let’s hold off for a bit,” Han Li said, stopping first and then looking at Song Yue’er. “Wait a moment, someone is about to make a bid.”

Song Zhenzun was clearly a little reluctant, but he still stopped. "This is a dish of medium to low auspiciousness."

For the True Venerable One, even the lowest and highest auspicious items are practically non-saleable, let alone the middle and lowest auspicious items.

“If you trade for good things, you will naturally be able to trade for other people’s opportunities in the future,” Han Li replied casually.

Then he looked at Qu Jianlei and said, "You do it this time. I'll just keep an eye on things."

As Qingning released Qing'er, Han Li approached Song Yue'er and quietly explained the whole story.

After listening, Song Zhenzun glanced at Qing'er and nodded slightly. "Very well, I am still willing to support female cultivators in their advancement."

Qu Jianlei's divination results indicate that this place is more suitable than the previous planet, and the success rate of advancing to the next level will increase by half.

Of course, 5% and 7.5% are not a huge difference, but this kind of improvement is too important for those who want to advance to the next level.

Han Li listened with great curiosity, casually made a calculation with his hand, and then nodded, "There has indeed been a significant improvement."

Wenxian spoke up, "I can seal this opportunity and delay its appearance. As for this karma... Fellow Daoist Qingning, would you accept it?"

"I'll accept!" Qing Ning nodded without hesitation. "I have my own reasons too!"

“Hehe,” Wenxian chuckled dismissively, “It’s not too late to talk about it after your Daoist partner successfully leaves the body… Let’s cover the costs first.”

He is much more mentally prepared now than he was decades ago, and no longer fixated on the gains and losses of the array's profits.

People who have something to look forward to are thinking about creating more good karma, and since they also have a share of management rights, they won't be too short of money in the future.

However, the cost still needs to be considered. The more powerful the array, the more powerful the materials required to support it.

Without hesitation, Qing Ning took out an Asura Mother Nest. "Is this enough?"

Unlike the Five True Venerables, he did not need to guard the main camp.

Although he didn't primarily focus on attacking and plundering, he still managed to acquire quite a few kills while running around.
