Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2479 Nominal Offering
Before returning to Jiuyou Island, Han Li specifically reminded them, "Don't bring this kind of emotion to those two female cultivators, it's not good!"

He knew perfectly well why Qu Zhenzun was in such a hurry to return; his words were somewhat superfluous, but they were full of goodwill.

"Actually...that makes sense!" Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He felt that Duogan and Jing Yuexin should be able to handle it—they had seen all kinds of storms along the way.

However, one should not be too subjective in doing things; it's always better to be a little restrained.

On Jiuyou Island, Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan are comprehending the rules of creation—the one that Qing Ning obtained from Lingyun Sect.

The Nascent Soul cultivator felt somewhat strained in comprehending the workings of creation, but it was no longer convenient for the two of them to go on adventures.

Whether Qu Jianlei is there or not is not that important. The key is that if he is injured unexpectedly, it is very likely to delay his advancement.

Although the team is not wealthy, the leader has prepared a lot of relevant resources, including more than ten rules.

The creation is the most difficult to comprehend. The two of them had grasped most of the other rules, and used this to hone their character when they had nothing else to do.

As I said before, no matter how much Qu Jianlei prepared for them, it was far less than what the people involved cared about.

When Qu Jianlei appeared and released Bentley and the others, the two jumped up happily, "Over there... is the fight over?"

"It's still going on," Mu Yu replied with a smile, "with Jia Shuiqing, Mu Guang, and Qi Ya staying behind to oversee things."

Fearing that the two might overthink things, Qu Jianlei quickly added, "The fifty-year period is almost up. Come back and urge them to work on the fifth-order spiritual vein."

"I can even advance through ranks here!" Han Li said unhappily, "Do I really lack that little bit of spiritual energy?"

Jing Yuexin smiled and said, "Boss, I think it's about time to try going into seclusion and do some divination?"

"Isn't it too early?" Qu Jianlei was taken aback. You still have at least five hundred years to live, what's the rush?
"Let's give it a try," Jing Yuexin said, unusually a little embarrassed. "I also want to seek opportunities in the Tree Clan World after I leave my body!"

Strictly speaking, this is the true face of Boss Jing.

The last time she went to the Tree Clan world, she could only help out, and the leader took care of all the important tasks, which made her a little resentful!
If I can successfully leave my body, I might even be able to gain something in another world—even if it's just a tail, it's better than nothing.

Qu Jianlei did a quick calculation and was astonished to find that the probability of the other party successfully leaving his body was over 10%.

"It's increased by more than two percentage points, what are you doing again?"

“I absorbed a Dao Yuan,” Jing Yuexin replied proudly, “and so did Duo Gan.”

"Impressive," Qu Jianlei gave a thumbs up, "It's only just been absorbed, so it needs to be stabilized for a while longer."

After a brief chat about their experiences in the other world, Qu Jianlei left behind Qinghu and Bentley as protectors before departing.

Next, he searched for Qianhuan's true form, but instead of going anywhere else, he went directly to Efeng No. 3.

The once bustling Efengsan is now much quieter, as many of the main combat forces have gone to conquer other worlds.

However, the True Immortal Fei Hong was still alive. Although his combat strength was not low, he was more skilled in management. Min Ning made some promises to him and asked him to guard the house.

The return of the guests to the spiritual land could not be kept from him, and he then came into contact with Mu Yu and the paranoid.

Qu Zhenzun's return inevitably caused another round of chaos.

Although no one dared to mention Qu Zhenzun's name, there were too many secret codes or methods in the cultivation world that could be used to bypass them.

As long as no disrespect is shown to the True Lord, the rest... is not very important.

The return of one of the five giants has sparked great interest in the upcoming wars.

Because of the established long-term route, Houde was not completely unaware of the situation at the front, and many supplies had already been sent back.

Even so, the information that everyone had was still fragmented and piecemeal.

Not only are they unsystematic, but most of them are also incomplete, and some people even deliberately spread false information—their intentions are self-evident.

Many people were curious, but not a single one dared to come and ask.

Even Lian Lingyun's revered servant, the Unworthy True Venerable, was only sent to the other world in the third batch. The temperament of the True Venerable Qu is also well known to all.

However, the first one to come knocking on their door was not Qianhuan, but Baiqiao.

Baiqiao Zhenzun also wanted to go to another world, but he couldn't because he was in charge of all the affairs of the sect and couldn't leave.

Needless to say, the cause and effect of the pot-shaped object alone has not been completely resolved. Who will take over after he leaves?
Baiqiao also wanted to know the latest battle situation at the front, and also asked about Lingyun's gains and losses at the front.

As they chatted, he suddenly asked, "Has Qingning's cultivation partner found a suitable place for seclusion?"

This is the true way Lingyun acts as a leader.

Those gains and losses, no matter how much, are just topics of conversation; he can't change them, so it's enough to just know about them.

The new path to leaving the body is something he must pay attention to, as it carries the hopes for Lingyun's future development.

However, Qu Jianlei deliberately didn't answer properly, "Such a thing, wouldn't Your Majesty know it with just a thought?"

“That’s your misunderstanding,” Baiqiao replied calmly. “The abilities of a great ruler can be earth-shattering, but they are also subject to many constraints.”

Qu Jianlei understood this: the more powerful a weapon is, the more cautious one must be in using it.

If someone says that we have promised not to use the True Lord first, that is absolutely not a joke.

However, he still smiled and said, "Isn't a new way of leaving the body important enough?"

“It seems you’ve discovered something,” Baiqiao’s words always carried a lot of meaning, “but the way to leave the body… is not enough!”

“Well… that’s a bit of a shame,” Qu Jianlei said, spreading his hands. “He did find a pretty good place to leave his body.”

"However, it's really hard to say how likely he is to succeed."

"Hmm," Baiqiao nodded. "Thank you for informing me. The Great Protector should be aware of this, right?"

"Don't just ask me," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "Regarding the situation ahead, Senior Baiqiao, please trust them."

This nail, neither too soft nor too hard, made Baiqiao feel a little uncomfortable, but he also knew what the other party was struggling with.

So he calmly stated, "The alien race's spirits are not present, and the human race's Great Ruler is not appearing."

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then nodded silently, "Even if the alien races' avatars are mobilized, our Great Lord... is not necessarily safe?"

Baiqiao calmly retorted, "Isn't it normal for us cultivators to kill enemies of higher levels?"

Qu Jianlei was speechless. A dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators were surrounding and attacking a distracted person... Just thinking about that scene sent chills down his spine.

The key lies in virtue. Each true master is the pinnacle of their respective field. It's easy to put aside pride and attack them, but any damage will be painful.

Many factions only have one True Venerable – even their own Red Leaf Ridge is no exception.

Let alone the fact that a True Venerable would perish, even if he were seriously injured, the power structure of the surrounding area would change. Who would really be willing to risk everything?
Baiqiao seemed to have read his mind and responded calmly.

"The damage won't be too severe... The Great Lord looks at us as we look at Nascent Soul cultivators."

Forget it! Qu Jianlei shook his head and stopped worrying about it. If he couldn't beat them, couldn't he at least run away?

Since the Great Lord has this attitude towards the alien race's divided spirits, then one cannot blame oneself, the sole true lord, for having selfish motives.

Back when he and Han Li and the other four were exploring another world, weren't they always prepared to face attacks from the Zerg's demigods?

Those days of constant tension, which we could endure before, we can't endure now?

He dared to do that when he was only at the Nascent Soul stage. Now that he has reached the Out-of-Body stage, does that mean he'll become even more timid?
Let's talk about something else. "I might stay here for a while after I come back. As for the situation on the front lines, please ask other people for information."

There's no need to mention the matter of assisting Duogan and Jing Yuexin. The leader of Lingyun Sect probably doesn't welcome too many True Venerables from the outside world.

"Hmm," Baiqiao nodded, "Regarding the members' attempt to achieve Awakening, do they need any additional resources?"

Qu Jianlei glanced at him helplessly, "Senior, you didn't have to be so direct."

“I have confidence in your team,” Baiqiao replied seriously, “They are very sensible.”

Then he smiled slightly, "I mean, I've already secured some of the support resources!"

So that's how it is! You scared me! Qu Jianlei has no hope of getting any support... I'm too lazy to even ask.

However, if someone is so eager to offer resources, it would be a bit pretentious for you to deliberately distance yourself from it.

So he nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, senior. I am truly grateful."

“Actually, you don’t have any thoughts at all, you didn’t even ask me a question,” Baiqiao Zhenzun was too insightful and not afraid to say it outright.

"However, Lingyun's support depends on your potential, not on whether you want it or not!"

"I dare to support you like this, so I'm not afraid of what people will say... By the way, it's good that quite a few people went to another world."

This explains the situation: although there are still obstacles within the sect, those with some strength have all gone to other worlds to seek opportunities.

Qu Jianlei felt that the fact that the other party was able to overcome the resistance was probably related to his attack on the unworthy True Venerable.

If I were still alive, I probably would have tried to stop it for the sake of saving face, but now... didn't I go there?

However, we can't say that at this time, otherwise it would be undermining the other party's good intentions.
So Qu Jianlei nodded, "There's a half-step Divine Realm cultivator among those insects over there, so it's still a bit dangerous."

“They’ll decide for themselves,” Baiqiao replied nonchalantly. “Should your people attempt an out-of-body experience… or take a new path?”

His focus remained entirely on this matter.

“It’s very likely not,” Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice. “I had no choice back then, but now I have a choice.”

After a moment of contemplation, Baiqiao spoke up, "I know you're looking for a fifth-tier spiritual vein. Why not consider coming to Lingyun to become a worshipper?"

This was his second invitation, which was a significant gesture for the leader of a major sect.

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Once my teammate successfully advances to the next level, I can have her serve as a nominal retainer."

"Whether it's a spiritual vein or not doesn't matter. What matters is the senior's actions, which I greatly admire!"
