Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2477 Everyone's Poor
Wenxian didn't bother to argue further. "Well... let's leave it at that. Besides, I don't go out into the Asura World very often."

He still felt that the portion was a bit small, especially since the price of the Asura's Nest wouldn't go up for a long time to come.

However, he doesn't have too many Asura Nests on hand right now, so this deal isn't too bad.

The next moment, Qing Ning looked at Qu Jianlei again, "Can I exchange half a fifth-order spiritual vein for this opportunity?"

This is equivalent to giving up half of his own spiritual veins.

This situation is not uncommon in the Houde Realm. Those who cannot afford to buy a spiritual vein can arrange for several families to make a joint purchase.

As for the subsequent management, there is a relatively recognized process.

It's impossible for a mid-to-low-grade auspicious opportunity to be worth more than a fifth-order spiritual vein; it would require at least three or four.

However, there was nothing else Qingning could offer.

Although he has gained some things over the past ten years in this other world, his main purpose is not to seek opportunities.

Moreover, Qing Ning knew very well that Qu Zhenzun was currently very eager to find a fifth-order spiritual vein.

Half a share of a fifth-order spiritual vein—his offer already shows considerable sincerity.

Of course, the shares for the other six True Venerables are something True Venerable Qu must resolve himself.

Qu Jianlei blinked, then laughed, "That's not necessary, just take out two more Tianqiong Crystals."

The Heavenly Crystal is a treasure of the demon race, and it is also very helpful for cultivators attempting to break through to the Out-of-Body stage.

However, for the True Venerable, this treasure was somewhat of a double-edged sword, probably only worth a moderately auspicious price, so he offered two.

He had been given one lime before, and it was said that there was only one left. He didn't bother to argue about it or ask any further questions.

But now he can make the suggestion; if no one else wants it, he can buy it himself.

Upon hearing this, Qing'er's expression changed, and she looked even more pitiful.

Qing Ning couldn't help but cough, "Well... there really is only one left, we can't give you two."

He didn't explain why he had concealed it before, and there was no need to explain. As a True Venerable, who could not understand such a thing?

"Tianqiong Crystal?" Song Yue'er's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "This is a good one. I'll take it. You can add anything else you like."

If someone is willing to step forward and take on the karmic consequences of the other true deities, things will be much easier.

The one who was particularly willing to acquire was Song Zhenzun, who had the most resentment among the seven Zhenzun.

However, it's understandable. Song Yue'er is not very old, only a little over two thousand years old, and she still has quite a few entanglements with the outside world.

Moreover, this involves others advancing in rank, and if it weren't for a last resort, everyone would be willing to help others achieve their goals.

Qingning pieced together the money over and over, but when everyone saw how strapped for cash he was, they told him to stop.

These seven Venerable Ones even stated that if they needed someone to protect them during their breakthrough, they could simply say the word, and it wouldn't be a big problem.

Among them, Qingkong Zhenzun even stated: Lingyun Protector is not involved in cause and effect, or rather, cause and effect have been offset.

Ultimately, he was implementing a different advancement model for the sect, and Baiqiao had already indicated that Lingyun was willing to actively participate.

Song Yue'er belatedly realized that there was such a thing as the other party's advancement, and she also actively offered to help.

Qingning first thanked everyone for their kindness, and then expressed her gratitude.

"I'll build a secluded training ground first. Sigh, once this big project is finished, I really need to get serious about conquering, otherwise I'll be too poor..."

It took another half a month to set up the retreat venue. Qu Jianlei had previous experience and came up with many ideas.

The other six True Venerables basically stood by and watched – not because they were idle, but because such opportunities to learn from others were far too rare.

Finally, Wenxian stepped in to help, setting up a large protective array.

After Qing'er entered into seclusion, Qing Ning left only a clone to guard her while her main body left with the others.

He hadn't been very interested in finding opportunities before, but now he's determined to work harder to make money.

The five members of the True Venerable Group gradually stopped staying in the camp and began to go out from time to time to seek opportunities.

Twenty years after arriving in the Tree Clan World, the third wave of human cultivators began to arrive, and it was the largest wave to date.

Not to mention, more than 20,000 people from the Cangwu Realm alone have come, among whom nearly 300 are Nascent Soul cultivators.

It's not that more people can't come, but that Lingyun Sect has started to exert its influence in Houde, standardizing the process of going to other worlds to participate in the war.

If there are no restrictions, everyone will want to try their luck in another world, and things will get out of control.

Even now, some bad signs have begun to emerge during the raids.

Murder and looting are not the case, since cultivators nowadays still fight in teams.

If they can't guarantee wiping out the opponent, the management will definitely not sit idly by if this gets out.

However, phenomena such as forced clearing and uneven internal distribution have already begun to emerge.

Even near the main camp, many shops have appeared, selling the spoils of the other world on the spot.

Moreover, these shops are growing at an extremely rapid pace, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Furthermore, the cooperation between the human race and the tapir race has basically stabilized.

The Star Tapirs were responsible for providing various information, the cultivators were responsible for the main attack, and the Star Tapirs would assist in the attack, so it could be considered that everyone got what they wanted.

However, the human cultivators did not have a good feeling about the Mo race, and their feelings were exactly the same as those of Qu Jianlei and the others back then.

I originally thought they would be good partners, but who would have thought that the Star Eater, who had a good reputation in the cultivation world, would be such a swindler?
Some individual Star Tapirs have a strong ability to accept new things and have managed to squeeze into the circle of cultivators.

Even so, Qu Zhenzun's comments on the tapir race still circulated among cultivators.

"This group is too selfish and lacks the moral values ​​of cultivators. They cannot be regarded as partners; at most, they are merely stakeholders."

As it turns out, Qu Zhenzun was absolutely right—some Star Tapirs actually lied about the information just to prioritize eliminating their own hidden dangers.

A single Star Tapir can be influenced and modified by cultivators, but an entire race... that's really too difficult.

Because of Qu Jianlei's comments, Rajan Dazun even came to the camp twice, hoping that he could clear the name of the tapir tribe.

“Not all Star Tapirs are the same. For example, I wanted to go with you back then and was willing to cut ties with my clan.”

Qu Zhenzun responded with a cold snort, "I've finally figured out why there aren't many Star Tapirs left in the cultivation world."

"To prevent the cultivation world from becoming like the Star Eater, I think it's necessary to control contact between the two sides!"

The second response was, "So many senior cultivators didn't introduce Star Tapirs on a large scale, I don't think I'm smarter."

In the twenty-fifth year, Qu Jianlei decided to return. He gathered his team and asked everyone about their intentions.

The first batch of cultivators from the Cangwu Realm who arrived had a mortality rate exceeding four percent, almost reaching five percent.

More than 20% of them were injured, and 70-80% are still recovering.

More than 40% of the respondents were willing to return, almost half.

Some people have made a profit and feel they can go back to rest. But after such a dangerous and bloody experience, one should know how to be content.

Some people were completely exhausted, both physically and mentally. Although they didn't get much out of it, it wasn't a wasted trip.

Some people have other reasons, such as... the younger generation in the family is about to advance in their careers and they are waiting for the rice to be cooked.

Qu Jianlei was in a hurry to go back, mainly for a similar reason—he wanted to arrange the advancement of Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan.

This has only been a matter of the last one or two hundred years. These two must start advancing to higher levels now; it would be really inappropriate to delay any longer, especially for Dorgon.

Moreover, before they could advance to the next level, he also had to help them improve their preparations in other areas, such as their understanding of the rules.

Even if the two women are considered exceptional geniuses, he might not be qualified to offer any guidance.

But isn't this a case of him losing his mind? It's normal for someone with experience to offer some advice.

Besides that, we also need to urge True Venerable Thousand Illusions about the fifth-order spiritual vein.

What's infuriating is that Qianhuan arrived mixed in with the second batch of cultivators and said that he had already made arrangements for this matter.

The main reason was that the cakes from the two other worlds were so delicious that he couldn't resist taking a slice.

Qu Jianlei didn't know what to say. How was preventing others from obtaining opportunities different from obstructing their path?

He was trying to figure out how to contact Qianhuan when, unexpectedly, the guy came back to the base camp on his own initiative and even found him.

He looked mysterious. "Qu Zhenzun, I have a good business opportunity. We can go together."

"I was just about to ask you about the fifth-order spiritual vein," Qu Jianlei said, his face full of exasperation. "I'm planning to go back soon."

“I’ve been keeping an eye on that matter,” it turns out that Qianhuan only brought an avatar this time. “Let’s talk business first.”

Qu Jianlei didn't think this guy could have any legitimate business—was he trying to extort money from someone in another world?
However, that's not the case at all. The business that True Venerable Thousand Illusions is planning to do is... rent out Mount Ling!
Yes, he really has a business mind. While others are rushing to mine for gold, he opens a restaurant and sells jeans on the side.

The existence of a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator among the Zerg is no secret within the True Venerable circle of the Thick Virtue Realm.

As mentioned before, in the world of the Tree Clan, more than one True Venerable has been injured, so much so that True Venerables later always went on expeditions in teams.

In most cases, the True Venerable encountered the Zerg who were at the half-step Divine Realm. Escaping was not a problem, but occasional injuries were inevitable.

Qianhuan has been wandering for so many years, but he hasn't gained much. Moreover, his reputation is a bit... well, there aren't many True Venerables willing to team up with him.

The key point is that he brought Ling Shan with him. Even if others are willing to team up, he doesn't want to reveal his trump card. Otherwise, how can he extort money from others in the future?

The main reason he sought cooperation with Qu Zhenzun was that... the other party already knew he possessed the Spirit Mountain and had no intention of seizing it.

Qianhuan's plan was to have Qu Zhenzun display Mount Ling, demonstrating that he possessed a divine treasure with astonishing defensive capabilities.

If anyone discovers an opportunity but feels it's difficult to seize, Mount Ling can at least provide a considerable guarantee!
