Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2581 Ripples
Qu Jianlei stated that he does not object to Youjian's request in principle.

After all, the other party had supported him in the Baiyou Business Alliance matter before—even though he had some complaints at first, he still supported him.

However, he suggested that the other party should communicate with Qing'er Zhenzun about the relevant details, provided that Baiqiao agrees.

Youjian stated bluntly, "If Baiqiao allowed him to assist in guarding the place, it would be considered tacit approval, and this rumor is no secret now."

“But Qing Ning’s Daoist partner is currently stabilizing her cultivation level… Even if she can explain, it will still require you, Qu Zhenzun, to come forward.”

"After all, you were the one who pioneered this path, and she was just following your instructions."

It's no wonder he's managed to build such a huge empire; it's not just luck. When he's arrogant, he's truly arrogant, and when he praises someone, he's unabashed.

At the very least, he can disregard the previous grievances between the two parties and naturally express: I acknowledge that you are the original creator!

Fortunately, Qu Jianlei was not easily flattered, and he replied casually, "Lingyun has his own arrangements, why should the elder make things difficult for me?"

“Go find Baiqiao,” Han Li said from the side. “Qu Zhenzun accepted Qing Ning’s bribe, so we can’t make an exception.”

But how could Elder Youjian be willing to accept this? He knew very well that True Venerable Qing'er had only verified a new path to leaving the body.

In this situation, wouldn't it be foolish to ask individuals who have successfully implemented the method for advice instead of consulting the developers about the entire thought process?

He sighed. "That person only verified one possibility of the new path... and she doesn't seem to be human."

As it turns out, the new path can be replicated, but Qing'er only succeeded in navigating one of them, and the last factor was even more crucial.

“Then there’s nothing we can do,” Han Li said, spreading his hands. “You see, Baiqiao protected that one, but did he protect Qu Zhenzun?”

"Talk to Qing Ning properly. Ling Yun has helped him protect the Dharma, so you shouldn't have to pay too high a price."

Youjian was speechless. Although he was good at taking things in stride, he was too embarrassed to insist after being rejected by the two juniors.

So he nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll go and communicate first, but if I really don't understand, I'll still have to ask Master Qu."

Qu Jianlei spoke slowly, "I must emphasize that if you have a choice, I do not recommend taking risks lightly."

"The normal way of leaving the body is the most reliable. The one I concocted was a last resort..."

"It is not only dangerous and has a low success rate, but it is also far from perfect."

He is human, not tapir, and he values ​​humility. He would never engage in any "winning strategies" or boast about his success rate.

A new way to leave the body... If it succeeds, all will be well; but if it fails, the higher you float, the harder you will fall.

“That’s true,” Han Li nodded. Although he was arrogant, he knew what was important—some things shouldn’t be boasted about.

"Qu Zhenzun also has friends who want to break through the barrier, but they still have to choose the traditional method... but with some options, who would take the risk?"

"Is that so?" Youjian was slightly surprised.

He roughly figured that the new approach was probably inferior to the formal one, but the other party's emphasis on it still surprised him.

After leaving, he didn't go to find Qing Ning, but instead went to find Bai Qiao to learn more.

Baiqiao didn't really like this guy—he's already old, why is he still making a fuss?
However, upon hearing that the other party had communicated with Qu Zhenzun, he still showed up, saying, "Elder, you've been very enthusiastic lately."

Can you please stop playing these sarcastic games with me? Youjian actually had a real headache dealing with him.

But since it was a very important matter, he patiently explained it again before finally asking a question.

"It seems that Qu Zhenzun... isn't very optimistic about this new path?"

"How did you manage to live to such an old age?" Baiqiao was truly speechless.

He shook his head helplessly. "Who dares to say that their path is superior to tradition? Even if someone did say that, would you believe it?"

"But..." Elder Youjian suddenly felt that he had been tricked by this hundred-odd cunning fellows.

"But you said that the approach that Qu Zhenzun came up with deserves attention, and even high attention!"

Baiqiao glanced at him helplessly, "We attach great importance to Qu Zhenzun... He achieved perfect astral projection, do you even know what perfect means?"

"Holy crap..." Elder Youjian was completely stunned upon hearing this, "Perfect, Out-of-Body?"

He understood the implications all too well: "Reproducibility is beyond question?"

Baiqiao sighed, "It can definitely be copied, but that doesn't mean it's easy! Don't you understand?"

Elder Youjian retorted instinctively, "Then why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Baiqiao Zhenzun rolled his eyes listlessly, "Did I get any benefit from Lingyun supporting a Zhenzun outside the sect?"

"Tsk," Elder Youjian clicked his tongue unconsciously, paused for a moment before speaking, "Then you should have told me in advance."

"Heh," Baiqiao chuckled dryly, without answering, thinking to himself, if the news really gets out, who knows what you guys are capable of.
Back then, Youjian had not yet witnessed the power of time, and was extremely arrogant.

Even if it's not a virtuous cultivator who takes action, once word gets out to the cultivation world beyond the realms, this Nascent Soul seedling will face a tumultuous fate.

Youjian didn't get an answer, but in fact, he didn't need an answer from the other party. Some things don't need to be said explicitly.

After a pause, he asked again, "Can I tell anyone about this?"

"Whatever," Baiqiao replied nonchalantly, "Anyway, the more people who know, the more your grand-disciple's affair will be..."

"This is really..." Youjian was completely speechless. "Choosing you to be in charge of Lingyun's affairs was definitely the right decision!"

“I really want to get rid of this burden right now,” Baiqiao rolled her eyes at him. “Why don’t you give it a try?”

"No, how many more days do I have left to live?" Youjian shook his head decisively, then added, "As for you, I'm afraid it's too late!"

After saying this, he vanished in a flash—he was afraid the other party would turn hostile, so he had to run fast.

"Too late...?" Baiqiao paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "Sigh..."

After Elder Youjian left, he struggled with the decision for a long time before finally deciding to inform True Venerable Xuanyi of the news.

The two had such a good relationship, and Xuan Yi even shortened her lifespan to stand up for him, which was also a way of being a friend.

However, it's conceivable that Venerable Xuan Yi also had his own friends...

Before long, a secret rumor spread throughout Houde Realm.

Initially, the news only circulated within the True Venerable's circle.

Because the news was so challenging to people's values, many True Venerables didn't believe it at all and even went to True Venerable Qingning to verify it.

Qing Ning originally came from outside the realm. Although she has finally gained a foothold after a thousand years of development, she is still a relatively marginal True Venerable.

He even knew the names of many True Venerables, but had never actually met them.

Now, things have gotten really messy. Regardless of whether they know the True Lord or not, they're all coming over to inquire about information.

In fact, when the True Venerables saw a large number of Lingyun's direct disciples, they had basically confirmed that the rumors were true.

But since we're already here, it's only natural to ask around about this new way of leaving the body, right?
This stumped True Venerable Qingning. Could he possibly explain many of the things contained within?
At first, he tried to explain that this matter involved Lingyun's secrets, and that it would be best if the fellow Daoist could obtain Baiqiao's authorization first.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the consequences could be quite serious.

However, many True Venerables were much closer to Ling Yun than he was, and they readily stated that they obtained the information from Ling Yun.

Let's not mention Ling Yun about this. It's better to just say it was Qu Zhenzun's doing.

Of course, the True Ones also stated that they had no intention of offending that person, but simply wanted to understand the general principle behind this new path.

But Qingning Zhenzun wasn't stupid; he knew that once a topic was started, it would be easy to lose control and get lost in the depth of the discussion.

So he drew a very clear red line, only making a very concise explanation, and would never say anything more.

Some of the True Lords clearly showed their displeasure, but Qing Ning pretended not to notice.

If someone behaves slightly excessively, he'll ask in a sarcastic tone, "How about I ask Qu Zhenzun for permission?"

Once these words are spoken, the other party will usually just laugh awkwardly and let the matter drop.

Some true masters might even turn their backs on you, smiling and saying, "I was just testing you... This is just a small token, please don't mind."

Your partner has successfully completed the Astral Projection. In the future, we will need to consult with fellow Daoists on related details. Please remember to inform us of the Astral Projection Ceremony.

It's true that True Venerables are high above others, but when facing opponents of the same level, they won't hesitate to use any tricks when necessary.

No one dared to truly offend Qing Ning, because his Daoist partner Qing'er was one of only two people besides Qu Zhenzun to have personally experienced the new path of leaving the body.

Besides, this couple are both true masters... Who the hell would be so stupid as to offend such a pair?
Even so, Qing Ning was still extremely annoyed by the harassment.

Of course, this was a happy trouble, a joyful thing, but he couldn't help but secretly sigh: Qu Zhenzun really saw the future!

The True Lords who have come to visit so far have all been relatively restrained, but as things develop, it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

If we were to place that cultivator who was in seclusion and trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage into our own spiritual vein, we would face enormous potential risks!
These True Venerables who had visited Qingning had already confirmed the information, but this only fueled their even greater desire to learn more.

Some True Venerables, like Elder Youjian, have their own descendants who are facing or about to face a breakthrough.

There are also some true deities whose needs are not very urgent, but everyone understands the principle of being prepared.

Since we can't get any more information from Qingning, we'll have to bother the person in question.

Qu Zhenzun was working on stabilizing the spiritual veins, and these Zhenzun happened to be there, so they had to do something to show their appreciation.

At the very least, many hard-to-find materials now have a place to go.

Many True Venerables said there was no need for the transaction; they just wanted to understand: what exactly is this new path to the soul?
