Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2520 Correction
Upon hearing this, Song Yue'er's expression immediately turned serious. "You'd better be careful. You can't gossip about the Great Lord here."

“I’ve never even seen the Great Khan,” She Niu chuckled dismissively, “I don’t deserve any attention.”

"Hmph," Song Yue'er snorted, "None of you are honest. You people from the Myriad Realms are not sincere enough!"

“That’s a bit much,” Colin couldn’t help but say. “Aren’t we being honest enough?”

"Whether it's enough or not, you know in your heart," Song Yue'er snorted. "Anyway, there are only eight months left!"

Unbeknownst to them, the warship had been searching the Girl Starfield for ten months, and most of that time had already passed.

Needless to say, the dangers involved are immense; one of the division-class ships has already been scrapped, and two others have sustained minor damage.

Minor damage is not a problem; if they are placed in the cave, Xiaohu can repair them as soon as possible, so that the combat strength will not be greatly reduced.

However, not being able to find anyone is very anxiety-inducing.

In fact, it's quite normal for the Digital Phantom team to stay in Girls' Starfield for three to five years.

This time, however, Qu Jianlei was genuinely anxious to return—Qinglong was about to advance to the next level!
Although he could no longer perform divination, lest he reveal all the secrets of heaven and harm himself and others, it wouldn't hurt to observe from the sidelines, would it?
In fact, as long as he is on-site, he may still be able to come up with some solutions if certain situations arise.

In addition, many of the Seven True Ones also pledged to protect the Dharma.

Ling Yun has already taken over the karma of protecting the Dharma, but who wouldn't want to witness an unconventional advancement?
Jin Ge had seen Qu Jianlei break through to the Out-of-Body stage before, but he still wanted to see him again—this time, it wasn't a human breaking through to the Out-of-Body stage, but a Azure Dragon!

So, with half the time already gone, everyone was getting a little impatient.

On this day, Han Li and Colin finally disagreed on their direction of progress.

The two chose completely different directions, but it certainly cannot be explained by the word "error".

So they asked Qu Jianlei to judge, since he was the "captain".

No one had ever been exposed to knowledge about interstellar travel in the Empire before.

But as I said before, they're all True Venerables, so it's not something they can learn in a day.
Qu Jianlei took out the tortoise shell and chess pieces, and did the divination himself. Then he shook his head at Colin and said, "You're wrong. I support him."

"How am I wrong?" Colin protested, even though the other party had questioned him many times before but ultimately listened to him.

This made him a little suspicious. Did you really calculate it before, and did it coincide with my direction, or were you just putting on an act?
"I have no obligation to tell you the reason!" Qu Jianlei said calmly. "I am the captain, that's what you all agree on, right?"

No knowledge is free, especially the more advanced the knowledge; all one needs to do is assert authority.

“I insist on knowing the reason,” Colin persisted. “I haven’t made any mistakes before, you can’t deny that, can you?”

“You’ve been right all along,” Qu Jianlei said, looking at his strange expression. “So, you can’t be wrong this time?”

“But…” Colin was also a little speechless. What do you mean by that? I don’t quite understand.

So, you didn't object before because the divination results were always the same, rather than because you trusted me?

“There are no ‘buts’,” Venerable Qingkong spoke up, “If you want to know the reason, it’s not impossible, but…”

He beckoned with his finger, "You know, Qu Zhenzun has always emphasized that knowledge has a price, and it can be incredibly valuable!"

“This is really…” Colin laughed in exasperation. “Fine, name your price.”

"A complete set of Five Elements Origin," the Grand Protector quoted directly, "this information is worth the price!"

"Don't be ridiculous!" Colin Zhenzun was taken aback upon hearing this, and even his laughter stopped. "Let's talk this out!"

“You people just can’t stand hearing the truth,” Qingkong Zhenzun shook his head helplessly.

"I'll just ask you one question: do you really think the blood curse... or rather, the ancient incantation technique, that you possess is absolutely accurate?"

Colin Zhenzun was stunned. "You actually know about the Zhuyou Blood Curse?"

"How rare is it?" the Great Protector scoffed disdainfully. "Do you know why the Blood Curse of Zhuyou has become less common since then?"

"Why?" This time, True Venerable Colin was truly convinced. Not only did the other party know such an ancient secret technique, but he also recognized it.

"There are many reasons, and I can't let you learn something for nothing," the Great Protector replied confidently.

"However, after working with it for ten months, I'd like to offer this friendly advice: the accuracy of this thing is really not that high."

“It’s not that low,” Colin Zhenzun hesitated for a moment, still somewhat unconvinced.

"When it comes to matters of celestial secrets, who can guarantee such accuracy? Other factors are probably the main reason, right?"

Qingkong Zhenzun smiled slightly, then beckoned with his finger, without saying a word.

"How much... sigh, never mind!" Colin Zhenzun shook his head. "If I'm really bankrupt, can I owe him for now?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Qingkong rolled his eyes. "What do you think?"

Song Yue'er and he had a good relationship; the two often teamed up to seek opportunities. Seeing this, she sent a divine message, "What other reason could there be?"

“I’m already quite good that I could guess the Blood Curse of Zhuyou,” the Great Protector replied to her with his divine sense. “The rest were just guesses.”

"Tch, look how stingy you are!" How could Song Yue'er possibly believe that? "You have to charge me too?"

"Why does nobody believe me when I tell the truth?" the Great Protector replied expressionlessly. "It's better to lie."

With the endorsement of Qingkong Zhenzun, and with Qu Jianlei being the captain, Colin Zhenzun finally stopped insisting on his own ideas.

However, the other five True Venerables of All Things also showed some subtle doubt on their faces.

After traveling for about five more days, Jin Ge suddenly raised his eyebrows, then frowned slightly, then raised them again...

Seeing his expression, Min Ning asked curiously, "What kind of noise is that?"

Jin Ge ignored him, repeated it twice more, and then pointed in one direction, "Over there!"

Qu Jianlei turned around without saying a word, believing that with Shuzun's steady approach, he wouldn't make a baseless accusation.

Jin Ge is only a bit impatient when fighting or preparing for battle; he rarely offers strategic opinions in ordinary times.

The six True Venerables of the Myriad Realms looked at each other in bewilderment: Could just anyone point the way?
However, She Niu Zhen Zun was quick-witted and immediately gave a wink.

The next moment, all six divine senses simultaneously probed in that direction—it must be an opportunity, right?
It really was a stroke of luck, but it was more than 200 million kilometers away, and the warship had been traveling for quite some time.

However, when the opportunity presented itself, everyone fell silent: it was Jin Ge's reward!

It was a large gold core, roughly one cubic kilometer in size.

Such a large core would require at least thousands of cubic kilometers of gold essence to condense.

In the world of cultivation, gold essence is considered a high-end material, but it is not extremely rare. However, this opportunity is still frighteningly great.

Most gold essence is scattered. Only a small amount of gold essence can be condensed in gold-series mineral veins such as red gold, refined gold, and black gold.

To put it simply, an ordinary Grand Lord of the Divine Realm wouldn't be able to produce this much gold essence.

Even if the True Lord could collect so much gold essence, he would still have to plunder countless tracts of land, which would definitely lead to widespread resentment.

Not to mention, condensing it into a core makes it even more difficult.

Jin Ge's true form is ancient gold essence, and it is also a kind of core gold essence.

However, it was naturally formed, and it also possesses some of the properties of gold crystal, and it also caught up with a good era of global development.

If it were just a small piece of the golden essence core, even a Nascent Soul cultivator might be able to obtain it, though of course, the price would be considerable.

However, discussing drug properties without considering dosage is just empty talk; this area is far too vast!

As for Jin Ge, if he knew where to find a gold essence core, he could buy it if it was convenient; otherwise, he wouldn't bother with it.

But he was determined to get such a large piece; this strong need was much stronger than Wenxian's desire for the Heavenly Dao Talisman.

It is precisely because of this that he is able to surpass others and sense the attraction of this opportunity from a great distance.

The other twelve True Venerables had no desire to even consider taking it—it was only right that it belonged to them.

Song Yue'er muttered, "Such great news, you should share it with everyone, right?"

“No problem,” Jin Ge replied with a smile, “but that will have to wait until we get back to Houde, when we should spread the joy.”

This excludes the six supreme beings of all things, but they don't complain at all.

However, True Venerable She Niu sighed, "Although this Maiden Starfield lacks spiritual energy, it really does have some good things!"

Min Ning calmly stated, "Golden essence has nothing to do with spiritual energy."

Everyone knows that this place not only lacks spiritual energy, but is also extremely violent, which is why it can be preserved by substances similar to gold essence.

The formation of the golden essence core may well be due to the violent energy, which is the result of long-term erosion and tempering.

Therefore, it's no wonder that Jin Ge has achieved this; others can only be envious.

In fact, all the True Venerables present knew in their hearts that if someone else obtained this golden essence core, they wouldn't be able to use it all up in a short time.

Without going into too much detail, if the True Venerable of All Things takes it back to his own home, the price of the Golden Essence Core of the Realm of All Things will decline for a period of time.

Only Jin Ge could reliably take such a large chunk; others couldn't learn from him even if they wanted to.

"Continue onward," Qu Jianlei said, not bothering with small talk, but directing the warship back to its original course.

After traveling for another three days, suddenly, Colin spoke up, "The current direction is indeed like this."

He was quite frank; when he realized that the direction he had set had deviated from its original position, he immediately admitted it.

This is a quality that an adventure team should have; otherwise, they won't go far.

A month later, Han Li and Colin had another argument over the direction.

Colin Zhenzun did not accept the other party's opinion this time because he was wrong last time, but asked the "Captain" to arbitrate again.

After Qu Jianlei performed the calculations, he actually pointed out a third direction—strictly speaking, a direction to correct Han Li's deviation.

Slight correction, not denial.

Han Li agreed without hesitation, while Colin only glanced at Qu Jianlei suspiciously and didn't say anything more.

Six days later, Colin's senses shifted again, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Qu Zhenzun's methods are truly amazing!"
