Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2514 I thank you
Qu Jianlei genuinely didn't want to get involved in the matter of the spiritual veins, because it was a matter for those destined to face calamity to settle their karma, and he would just wait for the outcome.

However, Baiyou Business Alliance's series of actions really provoked him.

The initial cause of the incident was likely a communication breakdown; at the time, he was in another world, and Qianhuan was unable to make decisions.

However, none of that matters now. What matters is that both sides are very powerful, and a peaceful ending is impossible.

Qu Jianlei felt like he had encountered an undeserved disaster, but in life, who can have everything go their way?
He nodded calmly. "Then forget it. I'll give you another thirty years to find another one. There won't be a next time."

Qian Huan remained silent upon hearing this, and after a long while, she sighed softly, "Thank you for your concern, Boss Qu. I'm sorry you had to suffer."

"Who's wronged is still uncertain," Qu Jianlei said leisurely. "Find out which True Venerables are in charge of this matter."

His attitude was already very clear: if the other party insisted on not believing him, what else was there to say? Just do it!
“No problem,” Qianhuan said, not at all surprised by his reaction. “If I can’t even do this, I’ll commit suicide to atone for my sins!”

After a pause, he added, "If you want revenge, it's best to wait a while. The rules for competing for spiritual veins are strict; you have to accept the consequences of your bet."

This rule is very necessary. Fifth-order spiritual veins are strategic resources, and the ownership of each one will affect several True Venerable forces.

Without strict restrictions, I really can't imagine what kind of chaos the Houde community would become.

The Wine Immortal area is already chaotic enough, but they dare not completely ignore this rule.

“Of course,” Qu Jianlei said casually, but inwardly he sighed: Alas, in the end, one cannot be too willful.

What he liked best was, of course, the kind of swift and satisfying revenge, the kind where he would "take revenge from morning till night."

But there was no other way; even if he didn't care about Houde's rules, he still had to consider the safety of the other team members.

As long as he doesn't make a move, the other party has no reason to harm his relatives and friends; otherwise, others would find it unacceptable.

Having a family to support is frustrating. While it gives him a sense of belonging, it can also feel restrictive at times.

In fact, some people couldn't stand his decision to back down.

No sooner had Qianhuan announced that Qu Zhenzun had given up the fight for the spiritual vein than Hanli came to Jiuyou Island.

"Why didn't you tell me you were short of spirit stones? If you just quit like this, people will think I'm dirt poor!"

"What's wrong with that?" Qu Jianlei asked with a smile. "If we don't do it this way, where are we going to find a ready-made cave dwelling?"

"Damn!" Han Li was speechless. This guy's scheming was much more ruthless than his own.

After a long pause, he finally said, "Be careful, you can't do this kind of thing too often!"

"Understood," Qu Jianlei nodded. The karma of the True Venerable was too heavy, whether it was his own karma or that of those who were killed.

Ultimately, it's not like when you're at the Nascent Soul stage, where you can kill as many as you want.

Regarding Qu Zhenzun's withdrawal from the spiritual vein competition, how does the outside world perceive it...? The reaction of the Jinlan Association speaks volumes.

Many families in the association suggested that they should stay out of it, as this matter was clearly not over yet!

The idea that in the struggle for spiritual veins, the loser must accept the consequences... that's just something for people who don't understand!
Not every struggle for a spiritual vein will lead to continuous troubles; it depends on the specific process of the struggle!

Why did the Wine Immortal area become so chaotic? There's a reason for that!
The Jinlan Association has an alliance, but some families have expressed their desire to withdraw from it.

Some people also said that even if Qu Zhenzun could swallow this anger, did he really think Lingyun Sect wouldn't record it in the accounts?

This leads to the situation where, although Baiyou Business Alliance can pay the full amount at once, Jinlan will deliberately delay.

Once the payment is made, you can begin collecting the spiritual veins.

Jinlanhui didn't say they wouldn't pay; they just kept dragging it out—let's see how it goes.

By delaying, even if they face retaliation in the future, they can at least argue that we had no choice.

In short, few people believed that Qu Zhenzun could swallow this insult, and bystanders were quietly waiting to see what would happen.

Baiyou Business Alliance also became much more low-key, while simultaneously sending a signal to the outside world: Qu Zhenzun truly deserves to be called a virtuous and talented person, and is worthy of admiration!

Once we have collected the spiritual vein, we will naturally express our gratitude to Master Qu Zhen.

Regarding this statement... lower-level cultivators have all sorts of opinions, but those who are a bit older generally don't offer any thoughts.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Qu Zhenzun has not shown up at all. Many people are unsure whether he has gone to another world.

However, Han Li did not leave. Everyone knew that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, so they guessed that he probably hadn't left.

Neither leaving nor responding to the matter of abandoning the spiritual vein, this is obviously... Let's continue watching.

In fact, Qu Jianlei had already left, and the clone left behind by Han Li only showed up once every year or two, so there was no need to worry about it being seen through.

When they arrived in the other world, they learned that the news had already spread there.

Qingkong had a lot of complaints about this. "Baiqiao, what's wrong with your true self? Just sit by and watch outsiders suppress the true venerables of this realm?"

Baiqiao's clone said helplessly, "I don't have the specific information either. I suppose the main body has its own considerations."

Min Ning quietly pulled Qu Jianlei aside, "Have you figured out how to get revenge?"

"This matter... is a gamble that must be accepted," Qu Jianlei replied seriously. "If you really want revenge, are you willing to lend a hand?"

“That requires Lingyun’s order,” Min Ning said, a typical slippery fellow. “Although I’m obedient to orders but not to decrees, I can’t openly go against the grain.”

Then his eyes lit up. "However, I can send a clone to impersonate a True Venerable of the Hundred Friends Merchant Alliance and ambush you!"

"As for the part about 'obscuring the heavenly secrets,' you'll have to figure that out yourself; I'm not good at that."

"Wow," Qu Jianlei's lips twitched, "I was supposed to be thanking you... but you were so cunning?"

“It’s just the thief crying ‘stop thief!’ Anyone can do that,” Min Ning replied dismissively. “I’m just more straightforward, so I spoke up.”

"But if we really want to do it this way, we need to discuss it with Han Li. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

"I'd also like to thank you," Han Li surprisingly appeared, "It's rare for you to think of me on your own initiative... just for something so trivial?"

Min Ning's expression hardened, and he spoke solemnly, "This is called strategy! How many True Venerables have been killed by treachery?"

"Forget it, there's no need to talk about this anymore," Qu Jianlei said. "Let's go take a look at the Azure Dragon."

They stayed back for more than four years this time, and then spent another two years on the road, so it's been seven years now.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the star cluster, Lingyun's patrolling disciples came to greet them.

Upon seeing that it was them, the disciples bowed and turned to leave without saying a word.

After some calculations, everyone confirmed that the approximate timeframe is five to seven years, and other aspects remain stable.

However, Qu Jianlei and Han Li exchanged a glance, and the latter nodded, "You go first..."

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and then said, "I sense a vague sense of resistance. What about you?"

"As expected," Han Li sighed softly, "the secrets of heaven are ultimately unfathomable!"

"You two can actually sense the Heavenly Secrets automatically shielding themselves?" Qingkong was taken aback. He had just done a divination but hadn't noticed it.

The Heavenly Secrets' autonomous shielding is recorded in the Lingyun Sect's records, and the causal relationship involved is not small; many True Venerables can also sense it.

But such a weak self-shielding... The Great Protector was a little speechless. Why can't I do it?

He couldn't help but send a divine sense message to Qu Jianlei, "Give me a copy of that material... I know it's the core of a tree root!"

No one is stupid. Qu Jianlei may be able to deceive people for a while, but others will eventually figure it out and come to their senses sooner or later.

“Not much left,” he blurted out unconsciously, “Heh, really not much left… we settled all the accounts back then.”

"I'll protect your teammates!" Qingkong stated decisively. "You've seen it all recently; I'm a professional at protecting them!"

"Well... we'll talk about it later," Qu Jianlei said, glancing around at the many people around him.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed. Tianji's autonomous concealment is getting stronger and stronger, and even Qingkong can feel it.

“We can’t continue with the divination,” Baiqiao’s clone said. “To see through all the secrets of heaven is bad for the Azure Dragon, and it’s also bad for the diviner.”

“Qinglong’s karma is very strong,” Qu Jianlei told Qingning. “She is getting closer and closer to breaking through to the Out-of-Body stage, and she can only rely on herself.”

Qing Ning nodded. He was no stranger to this kind of thing, especially in the past year, when he had always heard that the secrets of heaven were obscured, and he had been feeling uneasy about it.

"Thank you all for your hard work over the years. Now it's up to her own fate. Once this matter is settled, I will have my own plans."

When Qu Jianlei and the others left, they discussed it and decided that since they were idle anyway, they might as well go and eliminate the Zerg's half-step demigods.

Besides the spiders, there are also three insectoid creatures at the half-step Nascent Soul stage in this world, which were discovered by cultivators after years of conquest.

In fact, the Zerg originally had as many as six half-step Divine Realm beings, but two of them were later destroyed by the True Lords.

However, after the treatment, everyone felt that the cost was not worthwhile and that it could also cause harm to themselves.

This world is so vast, we can leave the tough challenges for last, since there are still plenty of other opportunities to take advantage of.

At worst, these identified dangers can be marked for lower-level cultivators to enter with caution.

If someone insists on ignoring the warnings and is determined to go in and risk everything for riches, no one will stop them.

Whether one obtains a hammer by asking for it or gains something by chance, it is the cultivator's own choice.

Now that nearly half of the other world's main resources have been plundered, it's time to consider targeting the Half-Step Divine Realm cultivator.

However, for other True Venerables, having fewer people in a team means they will pay a higher price in battle.

However, with more True Venerables in a team, the rewards become less when divided among different members, and disputes may arise due to unequal distribution.

Since that's the case, I might as well do things my own way and take over the relatively low-end resources first.

With so many good deals right in front of them, who would want to bother with unnecessary troubles?

Therefore, the Five True Venerables are the only ones who can tackle these three tough challenges – after all, they are the ones who collect management fees without lifting a finger.
