Chapter 1897: Lao Liu's Methods
Wu Laoliu didn't want to stop the leader, but he had to ask, "Out-of-body skills... you need the original skills to learn from, right?"
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "Of course it would be best if you could have our martial arts technique."
"I'm afraid this will disappoint you," Wu Laoliu answered carefully, "There are very few out-of-body mental methods in Dongsheng Continent."
"Everyone says that Dongsheng has a barrier to leaving the body, but this is not entirely true..."
He said that Dongsheng had experienced an out-of-body experience before, but that was a very long time ago and he could only be sure that it had happened.
In Wu Laoliu's opinion, Dongsheng is indeed not suitable for the out-of-body experience, but the main reason is that there are basically no martial arts techniques here.
In other words, these two things are mutually causal. Because it is not very convenient to leave the body on this continent, the martial arts method also disappeared.
Anyway, the boss wants him to find a way to leave his body, which is extremely difficult.
What’s worse is that even if he got similar clues, it would be almost impossible to get them.
Dong Sheng has indeed not yet reached the state of leaving the body, but how could a force that possesses this kind of skills be unrelated to the Great Master of Leaving the Body?
Even if Hongyeling could take away the martial arts skills quietly, the Great Venerable could just calculate the cause and effect and come to find him right away.
Although Wu Laoliu was just a casual cultivator, he had a good grasp of the relevant knowledge points and his knowledge was obviously higher than that of ordinary Jindan.
Qu Jianlei became interested. "It sounds like the Nascent Soul cultivation method isn't that easy to obtain?"
"That's your consideration," Wu Laoliu didn't try to force it and just threw the blame away.
"The most I can do is to find some foundation-building techniques. Golden Core techniques are all dangerous."
Qu Jianlei was not angry, but nodded, "You can recognize the reality, but there is a misunderstanding in your cognition..."
"There may not be much to learn from the basic techniques, so it is more likely to bring forth new ideas by collecting ideas from a wide range of practices."
"Think about it, how did the first set of techniques in the world of immortal cultivation come about, and how did the various types of techniques become so diverse?"
When Wu Laoliu heard the other party say that his understanding was wrong, he was a little disapproving at first.
His cultivation is definitely inferior to the other party, but his cognition has always been as good as others.
However, after hearing what the other party said, he was completely convinced, "I didn't expect your ambition to be so lofty. I admire you!"
Do you suspect that I am too ambitious? Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently. He has already figured out a lot of skills.
However, as long as he knows about this kind of thing, there is no need to explain. I just want you to continue to go out and help acquire various information.
It is not limited to martial arts techniques, secret skills, training diaries, travel notes, local customs and practices...all valuable things will be purchased.
If you run out of money, you can come back to get it and the team will reimburse you.
Wu Laoliu hesitated for a moment and said, "This will cost a lot of spiritual stones."
"It won't cost much," Qu Jianlei said without hesitation, "Don't think too highly of yourself."
"With your cultivation level, how much can you collect? You may not dare to buy the truly valuable things even if others dare to sell them!"
The words were a bit hurtful, but Wu Laoliu didn't care - when he was in front of low-level cultivators, he would not consider the other party's feelings when speaking.
So he nodded, but then he expressed his hope to have a Nascent Soul True Immortal to protect him.
He has been in Hongyeling for more than a year and has basically understood the situation of the team. Not only does he not like to go out, he is also not familiar with Dongsheng.
His current value lies in his familiarity with Dongsheng and his good vision.
In this case, if the team can send out a Nascent Soul to protect themselves, they can maximize the advantages of both sides.
However, Qu Jianlei rejected his request - sending out the Nascent Soul was no joke.
Wu Laoliu is just a Jindan, and not only does he have a low level of cultivation, he is also not suitable to have a Yuanying following him. He also has his own plans for the development of the team.
Although plans may not be able to keep up with changes, you should not disrupt your rhythm unless something major happens.
Seeing that he refused, Wu Laoliu could only leave in disappointment.
After going out this time, he publicly announced to the outside world that he was assigned by the master of Hongyeling to collect various secret books.
Soon after, another Jindan came and inquired about the ancient inheritance of Hongye Ridge. Wu Laoliu directly said: I am currently in charge of external affairs.
If anyone wants to know, just go and ask the owner.
This clearly means that Hongyeling will not allow anyone to embarrass this coolie. Anyone who has the courage can go to the mountain to pay homage to the real boss.
But most people don't have the courage to go there - who would dare to harass the person who can make the Yan family silent?
If someone really has that kind of strength, it would be better to suppress the Yan family and obtain intelligence from them.
When Wu Laoliu first started to buy the secret manuals, it was not very smooth, because people who practiced cultivation attached great importance to similar items.
There were a few shops in the market that sold secret manuals, and they approached him to promote their products.
But Wu Laoliu refused without hesitation. He said that since he had accepted the task, it would be impossible for him to purchase at the shop price.
What he meant was that the shop earned too many spirit stones and he couldn't explain it to his owner.
Several shops were quite dissatisfied with his answer - by saying this, aren't you accusing us of being greedy?
There were two shops among them, and there was a Jindan Zhenren behind him, chasing him to ask for an explanation.
As Wu Laoliu was a Jindan, he could have considered using force in response to such an offense.
It is not appropriate to hurt someone's life in the market, but a light punishment is fine.
However, Wu Laoliu chose another way. He selected books sold in two stores and posted his reviews publicly on the wall.
On the first day, each store only reviewed one book, from its origin to its content, and then to its selling price in other markets.
In the end he will give a price - that is what he thinks, he does not require others to agree, but it is definitely reasonable and well-founded.
The two books that Wu Laoliu reviewed at the beginning are relatively popular and many people can understand them.
The two stores did not respond immediately, so on the next day, he reviewed two copies in each store and said that there would be four copies tomorrow.
The people in the shop were furious when they heard this and immediately offered a sum of spirit stones: Okay, we know we were wrong, please take back your magical powers.
In the eyes of professionals, Wu Laoliu's comments are quite accurate, but if the store wants to be more serious, it can find reasons.
This kind of value judgment is inherently subjective to a considerable extent, and there is no such thing as absolute fairness.
However, the shop is open for business, and if the other party is allowed to continue like this, the business will definitely be greatly affected.
So it’s better to just give in and admit your bad luck.
However, Wu Laoliu said that he had no intention of cheating people out of the spirit stones, he just felt resentful about being looked down upon.
As a Jindan Zhenren, he disdains to do such extortion, and Hongyeling does not support him in doing so.
However, he could not be offended for no reason, and considering the needs of Hongyeling, he asked each store to compensate with two secret books.
The four secret books were all designated by him and were of very obscure types.
Wu Laoliu said: You can refuse to give it, but if you do, the matter will not be over!
The two stores knew that the secret books the other party wanted were of extremely high value, but fortunately, they were still far from being the store's treasures.
Then we can only accept it with a pinch of our nose and try to settle the matter as soon as possible.
Other shops also got the news and immediately found Wu Laoliu to apologize and offered to compensate him with a secret book.
Jindan Zhenren really has the face to do so, and the other party chose to compete from a professional perspective, not to bully others by relying on his cultivation.
So they just had to accept the defeat, because it was their fault for being so rude in the first place.
It’s true that Wu Laoliu was a man who dared to rob Hongyeling before. It’s fortunate that he could fight back in such a civilized way.
Wu Laoliu accepted these secret books and continued to release the information, but no one came to sell them. Instead, some people wanted him to identify the secret books.
He refused flatly, saying that he was not good at appraisal and was not interested in the appraisal fee.
Anyway, he is a golden elixir, and no one in this area dares to openly force him to identify himself.
Five days later, a small family finally came and presented more than a dozen secret books.
However, this family did not want the spirit stones, but instead started a dispute with others, hoping to gain the support of the Golden Core Master.
The secret manuals were all replica versions, but Wu Laoliu didn't accept them at all. He first said that it was impossible for him to be a thug.
However, he can stay in the other family for three days, and when he leaves, he authorizes the other party to use his own name, indicating that the family is under his protection.
He would only seek revenge after the other family had been exterminated—or nearly exterminated.
To put it simply, he will not help the other side expand outward, but he will take action to preserve his bloodline.
As for the duration of this asylum, it would depend on the situation of the secret book.
Then he took a quick look at the secret book, and the deadline given was eighteen years.
No one knows what he thought, but the family had no choice.
So for the next three days, Wu Laoliu lived in that family and took the opportunity to verify the authenticity of the secret book.
When he left, he couldn't help but mutter angrily, "A small family is a small family...what the hell is that."
However, Wu Laoliu had just left the village, and before he could speed up and leave, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Get out!"
"Why are you so angry?" A light laugh was heard, and two figures flashed out from the woods nearby.
Both of them have reached the Golden Core stage of cultivation, one has a smiling face, and the other has a haggard face.
The smiling man spoke, "Wu Laoliu, is it fun to bully a foundation-building cultivator?"
"It turns out that the boss of Tongyuan is really you," Wu Laoliu said expressionlessly.
He knew this person. Tongyuan was one of the two stores that closed down a few days ago. It was said that the boss behind the scenes was this Ge Xin.
He didn't recognize the other Jindan. Judging from his aura, he was probably not an acquaintance, and his face was obviously covered.
But Wu Laoliu was not afraid. He was fighting one against two. Even if he couldn't win, he could still run away.
The key is that he is right, isn't he? "You are just a Foundation Establisher, yet you dare to provoke a Golden Core. I am only giving you a light punishment. Do you have any objection?"
"That's a little bit," Master Ge Xin nodded with a smile, "Blocking someone's path to wealth is like blocking their path to life. Do you agree with this?"
