Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2489 Hindsight
Qu Jianlei hasn't been dealing with Qingning for long, but they are currently working together on a major deal.

However, a transaction is a transaction, and a friendship is a friendship; the two cannot be confused. He could not possibly be so presumptuous as to inquire about the other party's background.

Seeing that Baiqiao was unwilling to say more, he didn't bother to ask any more questions. Anyway, the fifth-order spiritual vein was basically settled, so he could relax.

As for the fourth leader... regrets are inevitable, but there shouldn't be any major problems.

Qu Jianlei was relatively confident in the character of Zhenshanbao—even if he became a space pirate, he would still show mercy to the awakened ones.

The problem is that if he goes back to comfort her now, it might only make things worse. It would be better to give her some time to adjust her mindset.

Five years later, Min Ning planned to return to Houde. He had been fighting in other worlds for more than 30 years and had accumulated a lot of wealth.

Min Ning always believed in keeping his wealth hidden, and even the other four members of the group were unaware of how many good things he had acquired.

In his dojo, an avatar is maintaining repairs, not only staying indoors but also rarely paying attention to outside news.

In other words, he had accumulated quite a few affairs in Houde.

He found Qu Jianlei and Jin Ge, and the three of them discussed it and decided to return together.

Han Li accepted Song Yue'er's invitation to take care of some matters and would not be returning this time. He could also help Qu Jianlei with the divination of the Azure Dragon.

Three of the five True Venerables stationed at the camp plan to return together, even though the current order is still acceptable, they still need to inform the Lingyun Sect.

Baiqiao entrusted some cultivators to take back with him, and also gave Minning some instructions.

Before they left, some people in the camp heard that the three of them had made a high-profile return and asked other True Venerables to put in a good word for them, hoping to hitch a ride.

Last time, Qu Jianlei and Han Li were ambushed in the void. Although they resolved the situation on the spot, it still put a lot of pressure on the cultivators.

Even the True Venerable Ones are starting to form teams when traveling back and forth to Houde. Since personal gains are involved, it's only natural to be cautious.

Some cultivators who are doing well also try their best to hitch a ride with the True Venerable, and are willing to pay a certain price for it.

The reliability of the Three True Ones is higher than that of the other True Ones, and more people want to hitch a ride with them.

He left this matter to Min Ning's subordinates, since he didn't mind making this kind of money anyway.

The three True Venerables spent nearly a year returning to Houde, and Qu Jianlei went to Cangwu immediately.

This time, he brought a large number of Cangwu cultivators back with him, and also wanted to take the opportunity to check on the situation of the Fourth Master.

Little did I expect that upon arriving in Cangwu, I would hear such a bombshell: Flower Scorpion had just successfully condensed his Nascent Soul!
This news caused quite a stir in Cangwu. Among the cultivators in Red Leaf Ridge who had the most contact with the outside world, Instructor Hua was the only one.

Bentley, the protector, didn't say anything at the time, but the fourth leader immediately stated that he would hold a Nascent Soul Ceremony when the time was right.

Qu Zhenzun returned with a large number of cultivators, and the news could not be kept secret, nor did he intend to conceal it.

He declined other people's requests to visit him, and instead went to check out the condition of Zhenshan Fort, which he found to be alright.

Bentley also spoke to the boss, saying he believed the fourth leader's mentality was fine.

It's extremely rare for someone to get Lao Ben to intervene.

However, this also shows that the mental health problems of the fourth leader have not been noticed by more than one person.

Qu Jianlei only stayed in Cangwu for three days before returning to the Upper Realm and heading straight for Jiuyou Island.

Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan are still adjusting before their seclusion, and they are both in good condition. In particular, the two of them actually know that the fourth leader has formed a fake infant.

Dorgon said that this kind of thing could not affect him and that it was necessary to face it.

"How can one succeed without the courage to face certain failure?"

Qu Jianlei then performed divination for the two of them, and then they went to Efengsan to wait for Qianhuan to come to their door.

However, Qianhuan was already waiting for him, because a grand ceremony was held at the dojo when Minning returned.

Given his low-key personality, Qu Jianlei believes that his act of putting on airs suggests he has a need to promote products.

However, it's practically impossible for him to conceal his whereabouts.

Because he also brought back many cultivators from outside the sect—making money isn't shameful!

Therefore, Qianhuan already knew that Qu Zhenzun was also returning this time, so he went to wait for him in advance.

The fifth-tier spiritual vein he acquired this time is located in a chaotic nebula, and its location has not yet been completely fixed.

At this point, the fifth-order spiritual vein is most suitable for use. As long as one has sufficient ability, it can be refined into a form like that of Jiuyou Island.

“I don’t have the time,” Qu Jianlei shook his head dejectedly. “I’m only back temporarily, and I have to leave again soon.”

Although he had never possessed a fifth-order spiritual vein, he knew a great deal—even Nascent Soul level treasures could develop their own sentience.

To tame this spiritual vein, one needs not only sufficient strength but also sufficient time.

“Then let’s wait until we get back,” Qianhuan said, not in a hurry. He had already done his job. “We can make a decision within a hundred or two hundred years.”

“You’ve made quite a bit of money renting out that Ling Mountain shop,” Qu Jianlei tossed out a box. “Fifty yuan worth of Ling, keep it.”

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qu," Qianhuan Zhenzun was overjoyed to hear this. He was already reaping the benefits.

He thought for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Lingshan... wasn't damaged much, was it?"

"Besides me, there's also Han Li," Qu Jianlei replied casually. "How desperate would someone have to be to dare to use them recklessly?"

If Lingshan is used normally, it is almost impossible for it to be damaged.

In other words, if Mount Ling is damaged, the presence of alien races involved will cause even the camp to be shaken.

However, if it's for non-normal use and you feel you can't just rent the treasure for free, then that's a different story.

Qianhuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "That's good. By the way, there's been some hype surrounding Jiling lately. I know you're not afraid, but don't make a fuss about it."

"I've never understood this," Qu Jianlei asked, frowning. "Is it because we gained too much from the other world?"

Oversupply leads to devaluation, but the gains from another world are limited and not very broad.

“I don’t know either,” Qianhuan said after a moment of thought. “It is said that the benefits of Houde have spread to other realms.”

"Like this?" Qu Jianlei frowned, pondering before asking, "Which realms?"

"I'm not very familiar with the realms either, I only know of the Upper Good Realm," Qianhuan was truly a person destined for tribulation, and dared not pretend at all.

"Shangshan and Houde are roughly equal in strength, as for the others... Lingyun Sect should know more about them."

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you think it's possible that they also want to go to another world to seek opportunities?"

“Only a fool wouldn’t want to go,” Qianhuan replied without hesitation. “It’s said that our Houde Realm is quite rich in resources.”

"I've heard that the competition for resources in the realm of 'Shangshan' is much fiercer than that in the realm of 'Houde'... Of course, it could also be a pity act."

Qu Jianlei remained silent for a long time before finally shaking his head. "Forget it, this is Ling Yun's concern. They can't just take a share for nothing."

Of the profits from developing the other world, the five-person group received the lion's share, with Qu Jianlei and Han Li receiving the largest share of the lion's share.

However, Ling Yun occupied a considerable share simply by virtue of his influence. Although the reasons were sufficient, he also needed to demonstrate his strength, didn't he?
Then Qu Jianlei followed Qian Huan away to see their future fifth-tier spiritual vein.

The closest object to this nebula is the Chanmos-4 plate, but the distance between them is still more than 10 billion kilometers.

The nearby constellations were not complicated, and one soft ray of light stood out from the rest.

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh softly, "Divine objects should be kept hidden... I really want to put them away."

"Qu Zhenzun, please bear with it," Qianhuan said, startled. "The timing... is not right yet!"

“I know,” Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, “I was just saying, but this feeling is really tempting.”

As the two were chatting, two warships sailed in from a distance, with Nascent Soul cultivators releasing their divine senses from them.

"Everyone who is not involved, please step aside. This place is now under the control of the Yan family of Zhanmeng No. 4. Good friend... we'll meet again someday."

Around this nebula, there were two or three figures and two warships, scattered far apart, seemingly keeping to themselves.

However, upon receiving this divine message, some people objected, "The dust has already settled, and you only just arrived. How dare you say that!"

The Yan family of Zhanmeng Si is actually quite powerful, with more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators in the clan, backed by the power of True Venerables.

But the gap in social class is an objective reality.

When you learn through information that an opportunity might exist, little do you know that the opportunity has already been taken!

The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Yan family was dissatisfied and wanted to say something to the other party, but the other party simply ignored him.

There's really no need to find out the other party's background. The situation is already settled, and you only come to clear the field then? Isn't that ridiculous?
Qu Jianlei shook his head and left, completely losing interest in watching the spectacle.

Going back a hundred years, the families in Cangwu that had a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators were definitely not ones that Red Leaf Ridge would want to provoke.

But now, he didn't even have the mood to watch the excitement anymore. The feeling brought about by this difference is hard to describe in words.

The two were traveling in the sub-layer space when suddenly Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "Wait."

Completely unaware of what was happening, the Thousand Illusions True Venerable abruptly stopped, casting a puzzled look at them.

"Things up ahead seem...interesting," Qu Jianlei said casually. "Let's go check it out!"

Qianhuan is also a True Venerable. Having offended so many people, he possesses considerable perception abilities.

However, the problem is that he got used to using Mount Ling, and over time, his sensitivity to heavenly secrets and such weakened.

It's not that he doesn't know the principle of "use it or lose it," the key is that he offends too many people, so Lingshan is still the safest option, isn't it?

Now that Ling Shan is in another world, his perception ability is indeed a bit lacking.

However, it doesn't matter if his perception is a little lacking; as long as he knows who is trustworthy, that's enough. "I will listen to Qu Zhenzun's advice."

Qu Jianlei led him through the subspace layer twice more. "Alright, we're here."

Ahead lay an empty starry sky. Qianhuan was somewhat puzzled by this, but dared not sense anything further. "What... is this?"

"I just don't understand, how can you still be alive after faking an accident?" Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter softly.

"Don't tell me you can't feel the folded space ahead!"
