Chapter 2602 Passive Increase
Qu Jianlei originally intended to share his joy with Jing Yuexin—I had killed a potential Grand Prince.
However, the other party did not seem very happy. After carefully inquiring about the details, she sighed softly.
"To be able to eliminate distractions, you truly live up to Boss Qu's reputation. But... could you give me a heads-up next time?"
Qu Jianlei, however, replied dismissively, "The team's previous rule was that everyone should do their own job and have full trust in their teammates."
Then he emphasized, "You're going into seclusion anyway, there's no need to worry about this!"
Jing Yuexin remained silent for a while before saying, "Then you should leave some clues behind."
If I can't even do it, how can you expect to get revenge? Qu Jianlei felt that her childish mentality was really unnecessary.
However, he nodded slightly, "I will keep the relevant information later, but your task now is to seriously adjust your state!"
After leaving the spiritual vein, the spider on his shoulder couldn't help but say, "You've prepared a lot of good things for her."
It's no problem that it was distracted; it coveted certain auras emanating from that female cultivator.
However, it then added, "But this woman seems to have a weak foundation in the early stages, and her bond with the empire is also deeper."
As expected of someone so close to the Great Ruler, he was able to sense that Jing Yuexin was from the Empire!
“Say something useful,” Qu Jianlei replied casually. “If you, as a great ruler, cannot help, then don’t say discouraging things.”
"She's trying to break free from her body," the spider lamented. "I'm not really distracted myself right now, so how much can I help?"
It is usually not very difficult for a high-level cultivator to mentor a low-level one, but that is only under the premise of a significant difference in strength.
"Then let's say less," Qu Jianlei shook his head listlessly. "I thought you would have some good suggestions."
So, the True Lord is not omnipotent. It's a shame he still harbored hope, thinking that the other party might be able to help in some way.
The spider paused for a moment upon hearing this, "If I have no suggestions, I'm not even qualified to speak?"
Its communication skills are still inconsistent, but with Xiaohu acting as a translator, it is generally quite smooth.
"How could I dare not let you speak?" Qu Jianlei replied casually, "However, some words are just meant to cause confusion, so it's better not to say them."
The spider was clearly taken aback and found it a bit boring. "Never mind then, can I wander around the Houde Realm?"
“I hope you will think carefully,” Qu Jianlei said solemnly. “I can’t stop you. If you insist on going, the consequences will have nothing to do with me.”
"Fine then!" the spider replied decisively. "I was even thinking of using you as a shield!"
"You've got it wrong. What have I done to deserve this?" Qu Jianlei shook his head. "There's more than one Great Lord of Virtue. I'm just a mere Out-of-Body cultivator."
The next moment, he became curious again, "By the way, how many Great Lords did you sense?"
“I didn’t dare to sense anything!” the spider replied firmly. “I don’t want to cause any trouble.”
However, after a moment's hesitation, it added, "At the very least, there are three to five great rulers."
It did sense some presence, but it dared not actively explore it.
Meanwhile, Qu Jianlei also basically understood its feelings.
So he emphasized again, "I will absolutely not stop you from going out, but if there is any cause and effect... it has nothing to do with me."
He was really having a headache with this quasi-True Lord, but if he didn't turn on him, he couldn't stop him.
However, the spider did not show much abnormality. "Okay, I understand. As expected of the vast world of cultivators."
So you're... suffering from a bit of Stockholm syndrome? Qu Jianlei nodded. "That's for the best."
More than a month after returning, he came to the place where the spiritual vein was fixed, where a group of Lingyun disciples were busy.
Interestingly, the person leading the team was Bu Hu. When he saw him arrive, Bu Hu stepped forward and greeted him with a smile, "Greetings, Master Qu."
When Qu Jianlei saw her, he felt a pang of sadness.
Back then, when Fairy Bu Hu led her team down to the Cangwu Realm, surrounded by a retinue of followers, what a magnificent sight it was!
But now... he's just a supervisor! And he seems to be enjoying it?
However, Qu Jianlei didn't dwell on it too much. While looking ahead, he casually asked, "Is the Black Steed Tower still working?"
“Made by Qu Zhenzun, of course it’s good,” Bu Hu smiled slightly. “Many people envy me.”
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei turned his head to look at her upon hearing this, thinking to himself that even if he had put away his arrogance, there was no need to be so humble.
The next moment, he discovered something new, "That's... Hall Master Jiang Hui?"
The head of the Star Palace's auditorium is considered a top-tier figure in the Cangwu Realm.
“The sect has promoted some cultivators,” Bu Hu said calmly, “and the number of Upper Realm cultivators in Cangwu has been increased to one thousand.”
"Oh," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly. My hilltop has become more crowded... This really wasn't my intention!
It was clearly a good thing, but he found it both funny and frustrating that the situation was beyond his control.
Two days later, Jin Ge reappeared. "Baiqiao is getting impatient and wants to know when the communication will begin."
"Ignore him," Qu Jianlei said calmly. "This is not something I can decide."
Jin Ge was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on. "Damn it...would it kill you to be a little less cunning?"
"Why bother with all this?" Qu Jianlei shook his head. "If I were you, I'd rather take this opportunity to sneak out and explore the world."
"Do you think I don't want to?" Jin Ge gave a bitter smile, then shook his head and sighed dejectedly, "Sigh, I can't leave."
"Is it really that bad?" Qu Jianlei was taken aback. "Your cave dwelling is already complete, and there's nothing going on in the other world."
"What a perfect opportunity to sneak out! The exit route... You're not thinking about that, are you? Don't you know what's going on inside?"
His new path of leaving his body was known to far more than just Qingning and Qing'er.
When he explained things to these two people in the past, there were many people around him, some more and some less, who had all heard some of it.
Needless to say, I also know quite a bit about Han Li and others, and even Qing Kong and Song Yue'er.
Jin Ge not only had a good relationship with him, but as an encyclopedia, how much could he not understand after just listening to his explanations?
Besides, even if there's something she doesn't understand, she can just ask quietly later. Why would he try to hide it from her?
"Would this path even be of any use to me?" Jin Ge rolled his eyes. "I don't even have a successor right now!"
The fact that he didn't have a successor is related to the system he was in, but the key reason is that there was no one he looked up to.
He wasn't in a hurry to search; the future was long, and with his special attributes, he could easily outlive four or five Qu Zhenzun.
"Then why don't you sneak off?" Qu Jianlei snorted and shook the spider on his shoulder. "I can take it with me and wander around."
He was genuinely annoyed by spiders, and both of them wanted to go out and broaden their horizons; they were the kind who couldn't stay still.
In particular, "You can take this opportunity to broaden your horizons and accumulate experience over time, then you can consider challenging the Distraction Technique?"
In his team, Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan are currently trying to break through to the Out-of-Body stage, while among his friends, Han Li and Jin Ge are both capable of reaching the Divided-Spirit stage.
In fact, characters like Qingkong, Wenxian, and Minning all basically possess the conditions to break through the Divine Realm.
Even Xiaoyou... is almost the same.
Jin Ge is arguably the most recent one, especially since he acquired such a large piece of gold essence.
That would be a perfect opportunity to travel around with the "Great Lord" spider for a while, accumulate some resources, and then... it would all fall into place naturally?
The main issue is that the spider doesn't object to discussing similar topics, so why keep this uncontrollable creature around?
Upon hearing this, Jin Ge glanced at the spider, seemingly considering the feasibility.
But it only lasted for a moment. Then he shook his head and sighed dejectedly, "Never mind, it's inconvenient."
Qu Jianlei frowned upon hearing this. "What is it? Tell me. Those four wings are still in my hands."
The two brothers were penniless—if you don’t count the treasures that were impossible to trade.
The only thing that hasn't been arranged yet is those four wings. Of course, if Jin Ge needs military support, that would be easy.
“This…” Jin Ge hesitated for a moment, then sighed heavily, “You know that Lingyun has a Great Ruler, right?”
"What are you talking about?" Qu Jianlei frowned. Without the Great Lord's authority, could Ling Yun keep such a bunch of scoundrels in check?
“I was originally… a different kind of cultivator who had achieved great success,” Jin Ge hesitated for a moment before finally saying it.
Then he gave a wry smile, "Even you look down on those who are different, don't you?"
"Old Jin, I don't like hearing what you're saying!" Qu Jianlei's expression turned serious. "I do dislike people who are different, but you're not one of them!"
"I distinguish between different people not by bloodline or background, but mainly by culture and the degree of acceptance by civilization."
"If you accept the culture of immortal cultivation and consider yourself an immortal cultivator, then you are not an outcast!"
"Even if your true form is a piece of rotten wood, you are still a cultivator. Did I underestimate the Azure Dragon? This is called teaching without discrimination!"
"I'm not rotten wood!" Jin Ge roared in anger. "That kind of trash... you're the rotten wood, a crooked piece of rotten wood!"
Qu Jianlei ignored this question and instead said to himself, "I find it strange, what are you insecure about?"
"How well is the Cangwu Academy of Arts? Who dares to deny the fairness of the Sorcerer Master? If someone else were in charge, who could do a better job?"
Jin Ge's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened, and his breathing became rapid.
Until he heard the last sentence, "Master, I trust you... If you don't steal from me, then everything will be perfect!"
"You son of a bitch... stealing from me?" He laughed angrily. "You're a real piece of work. So I shouldn't have kept my promise to you!"
"Who the hell would I borrow those things from the warehouse for?"
"That... is just a minor flaw, it doesn't detract from the overall excellence," Qu Jianlei chuckled dryly. "Anyway, Lao Jin, I don't care about bloodlines."
However, if your bloodline were even purer, it would certainly be even better...
“I know you don’t discriminate against me,” Jin Ge sighed dejectedly, “otherwise, why would we get along so well? You’re a really good person!”
