Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2532 Sixth-Order Spiritual Vein
Xiao Youzhen did not give a direct answer to Qu Jianlei's question.

She blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering. "You can think about what you want to get if you beat me."

"You still owe me the rescue fee," Qu Jianlei sneered. "I don't care about taking advantage of others."

“I know you are wealthy,” Xiaoyou said seriously, looking at him, “but there are some things that cannot be bought with spirit stones.”

"I'm very poor," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, thinking to himself, "Where did you see that I'm wealthy? But I only earn what I should earn."

"Let's skip the further exploration. It's Houde's decision, and I don't want people gossiping about me. You don't want to repay kindness with enmity, do you?"

Xiao Youzhen looked at him, then glanced at Han Li, pondered for a moment, nodded, and turned to leave.

As the warship was about to leave the Girls' Starfield, the group changed vehicles and boarded a regimental-class ship.

After boarding the warship, Colin Zhenzun approached him and said, "I have a suggestion regarding the rescue fee."

"Hmm," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly. Up until now, he had not yet inspected the other party's cave dwelling.

This statement is a bit excessive and disrespectful.

His thinking was that if the other party could provide enough resources to roughly meet his needs, that would be fine.

Song Yue'er, who had been causing quite a stir, suddenly stopped mentioning the matter.

It's unclear whether she was jealous of Han Li entering Xiao You's cave or worried about the other's Great Lord Master.

Qu Jianlei believes that the other party had just been rescued and had not yet adjusted to their condition, so it was not very polite for them to talk about this so hastily.

After a moment's thought, True Venerable Colin said, "If True Venerable Qu is willing to cooperate, we are willing to provide a sixth-order spiritual vein..."

Upon hearing this, the already relatively quiet cabin instantly became deathly silent, even the sound of breathing stopped.

Qu Jianlei paused for a moment, then laughed, "This is really... Thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I'm not willing to cooperate."

The surroundings were still quiet, even quieter than the moment before.

True Venerable Colin paused for a moment before speaking calmly, "The conditions are not harsh and will not restrict your freedom..."

Clearly, the other party had also found out the details of Qu Zhenzun's refusal of Baiqiao's offer to recruit him.

This is a highly confidential matter, yet it was managed to be discovered by a True Venerable from another realm. So... the enemy is in the Lingyun Sect?

After a pause, Colin spoke again, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to rush to refuse. Why not listen to the conditions?"

"I don't think I'm worth a sixth-order spiritual vein," Qu Jianlei wanted to say.

He struggled with even a fifth-tier spiritual vein, let alone a sixth-tier one... He felt he couldn't afford the price.

Before he could speak, Han Li suddenly interjected, "We can accept this condition, right?"

“Of course,” Colin said, looking at Qu Jianlei. “A sixth-order spiritual vein exists in the Realm of All Things.”

Qu Jianlei remained silent, but inwardly he sighed – well, since Han Li is interested in talking, let him be.

Colin waited a while, and when no one replied, he said, "A sixth-order spiritual vein cannot leave the boundary."

Han Li blinked. "Can I come along?"

“That depends on Qu Zhenzun’s opinion,” Colin replied expressionlessly. “If he agrees, then there’s no problem.”

"It can't just be about cultivating all things, right?" Han Li asked casually. "It's a sixth-order spiritual vein..."

This is something everyone wants to know—perhaps Qu Zhenzun doesn't want to.

A huge question mark was in everyone's mind: How much more price would they have to pay?

In fact, even Qu Jianlei thought so: Just changing the location for cultivation? That's absolutely impossible!

However, True Venerable Colin actually nodded, "You can just go and cultivate. There are no mandatory tasks or restrictions on personal freedom."

No one said a word, they just looked at him with all sorts of strange eyes—do you even believe what you're saying?
Qu Jianlei waited for a while before letting out a soft sigh, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have always believed that ill-gotten gains should not be coveted..."

"This rescue fee is too high, it disrupts market prices, and it will have a counterproductive effect on mutual assistance among cultivators in the future."

Upon hearing this, Song Yue'er gave him a thumbs up, "When it comes to saying polite things, you're the best!"

Colin coughed lightly. "I have one more small request, which is... now that you've entered the realm of all things, it's best to keep your distance from Houde."

He said "the best," but without a doubt, that was also the bottom line.

However, this red line is actually quite reasonable—if you've already obtained a sixth-order spiritual vein, how can you still claim to be a virtuous cultivator?
The others remained silent, only Han Li asked calmly, "Anything else?"

“That’s all,” Colin said frankly, spreading his hands. “In the world of all things, we have always treated people with sincerity.”

Qu Jianlei silently looked up at the ceiling: Has the talent recruitment in the cultivation world become so complicated?

"I don't believe that," Han Li shook his head and said calmly, "Do you believe it, Qu Zhenzun?"

"I don't believe it either," Qu Jianlei said with a wry smile. "Please tell me what exactly Wanwu saw in me, and I'll change it! Isn't that enough?"

"You change it!" Upon hearing this, Song Yue'er couldn't help but burst out laughing. The cultivation world was ultimately not in the internet age, and their sense of humor was too low.

However, she immediately straightened her expression and said, "It's best if you think that way. The Realm of All Things is very exclusive!"

"He'll agree to anything now, but once you actually go, whether you live or die, whether you're safe or not, it'll all be up to you..."

"True Venerable Song, please have some self-respect!" True Venerable Colin was annoyed by her words and interrupted her directly, "Don't lose face!"

"The True Venerable's promise has its own cause and effect; only a country bumpkin would believe such a thing!"

"It's hard to conceal the secrets of heaven? Your words are just deceiving country bumpkins," Song Yue'er retorted nonchalantly. "Do you want me to give an example?"

Between different realms, there are actually more than just one or two instances of people sabotaging each other's potential cultivators... There are really only a few trivial matters in the world.

Colin's face darkened noticeably. "Cultivators of all things do not repay kindness with enmity. Besides, do you really think Qu Zhenzun is a virtuous person?"

Scheming against potential cultivators from outside the realm is a major taboo, as there are many prerequisites, and loyalty is a crucial one.

Suddenly, Qingkong spoke up, "True Master Qu enjoys my Lingyun support plan, it's impossible for him to betray Houde, you were unaware of this?"

“Of course I know,” Colin said calmly, “but can Baiqiao save this wrecked ship?”

"That meager support is nothing but a laughing stock. A fifth-tier spiritual vein was gained and then lost again... Is this all the support you, Ling Yun, are offering?"

Qingkong immediately fell silent; he simply couldn't clean this area.

Han Li looked at Qu Jianlei and said, "I'm starting to feel a little tempted myself."

"I'm not worthy," Qu Jianlei finally uttered three words slowly. Although it was a bit embarrassing, so be it.

The most important thing in life is to know yourself, and then comes knowing others... and so on.

Even though it was incredibly embarrassing to admit his weakness in front of so many True Venerables, he didn't regret it.

If he were alone, he might have gambled; it's just a matter of life and death, or perhaps he'd live a long, undead life.

But he has a team behind him, and he cannot let his teammates down!
Even his gaze towards Han Li carried a hint of indifference.

"If you want to go, then go first... Within ten thousand years, I will search for you in all things!"

Within ten thousand years... everyone will understand the meaning behind his words, and what he is implying.

Colin Zhenzun couldn't hold back any longer, "Qu Zhenzun, you know that a sixth-order spiritual vein... is not something I am qualified to promise."

Xiaoyou Zhenzun sat in meditation not far away, his figure appearing and disappearing, clearly just a phantom.

"I have no intention of considering these things," Qu Jianlei said calmly, without a trace of worldly concern. "I only understand that I am not worthy!"

“Then of course I won’t go either,” Han Li laughed. “Houde is not bad either. When we’re distracted, we can go for a walk there.”

“I meant well,” Xiaoyou’s figure solidified in an instant, “Qu Zhenzun can exchange insights on the passage of time with me.”

The person in question finally spoke, and everyone else fell silent again—this was a disciple of the True Lord.

Qu Jianlei paused for a moment before replying, "There will be opportunities, thank you for your kind words, senior."

"Senior?" The illusory image of True Venerable Xiaoyou solidified considerably, and his slightly narrowed eyes opened in astonishment.

“That’s right, haha,” Han Li laughed, a very happy laugh, “He’s not even five hundred years old yet, so you’re the senior!”

"..." Xiao You Zhenzun stared at him silently for a long time before finally saying, "You're older than me!"

"Uh," the handsome young man's laughter stopped abruptly, then he raised his hand to touch his cheek, his face darkening, "You went too far!"

At this moment, She Niu Zhenzun nudged Min Ning beside him with his elbow and sent out a divine sense, "Is this really... Qian Xiu?"

Min Ning glanced at him speechlessly and did not answer.

However, the enraged Han Li did not stop there. He coldly asked, "Is what you value really just his potential?"

"Don't joke around. The karma he carries... is not something you can concern yourself with, including that person..."

This guy is a master of courting death. He'll say anything when he gets angry, and he even dared to underestimate the Great Khan's abilities!
"So what? I've always treated people with sincerity," Xiao You's body finally solidified completely, revealing his true form.

She said quietly, "I've treated you well before, but how have you treated me? When I treat others a little better, you get angry?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li was finally petrified. After a long while, she finally let out a soft sigh.

"I don't care how you treat others, but he can't!"

Jin Ge quietly approached Qing Kong, "Han Li's attitude gives me the feeling that he also has a powerful figure behind him?"

"Still...still a lot more, and we need spare chessboards," the Great Protector muttered to himself, then suddenly came to his senses.

"Oh, what did you say? What big shot?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Ge silently turned to look outside the warship. "Suddenly, I feel that being a member of the Crystal Clan isn't so bad. At least it's not so mentally exhausting!"
