Chapter 1933 The Ji Family on Guard
Those who have stable property have stable determination, and Zhen Yezi is unlikely to take unnecessary risks.
For him, the meager reward from Baiyao Valley was not worth the risk.
However, although he is wealthy, his Nascent Soul technique is still his shortcoming.
There is no way, Zhen Yezi’s personal cultivation is at the golden elixir level.
Some forces coveted his skills and were willing to recruit him, but the Nascent Soul technique was exactly what was blocking him.
——If you are willing to surrender, the Nascent Soul technique will not be a problem, otherwise forget it!
Not to mention that the other party's request was for a Nascent Soul technique that he had never seen before, so those he had seen before would not count.
If Zhen Yezi really wants to go all out, it is not impossible for him to acquire a few sets of Nascent Soul techniques.
However, he was not sure whether the other party's repair fluid was really that magical.
There are not many people who know the tricks to maintaining a furnace. It is indeed not easy for the other party to know these.
But knowing how to repair it doesn’t mean it can be repaired. Zhen Yezi himself knows how to repair it, but isn’t it useless?
Fortunately, as a master of weapon refining, he knew that some space magic weapons of several families had some flaws.
So he came to a shop and walked straight in, "Meet your butler, I have something important to tell you."
Ten days later, Yuanyuan was on duty when four people walked in from outside the door. Two were Jindan, one was Foundation Establishment, and the other... his aura was unknown.
A Jindan stepped forward and asked, "Can your repair fluid repair the space secret treasure?"
"Secret treasure of space..." Yuanyuan glanced at him, then looked at the man with an ominous aura.
Since it is called a secret treasure, its level should be higher than that of a magic weapon. However, what she is more concerned about at the moment is, "Are you... a Yuanying True Immortal?"
"This is my Ji family's ancestor," Jindan Zhenren said proudly, "Can you, a mere Jindan, do anything?"
"So it's Fellow Daoist Ji," a wave of spiritual awareness came quietly, "Please come to the backyard to chat."
“Really…” The man with an unknown aura nodded, “Sure enough, there is a fellow Taoist hiding a dragon in the downtown area.”
Then he looked at the three people around him and said calmly, "You wait here, and don't be rude!"
"We will obey the order of our ancestor," the three of them answered in unison.
Qu Jianlei looked at the man who came floating over and nodded slightly, "But is it Fellow Daoist Ji Xiaohua?"
The Ji family’s heritage is extremely long. Although it is not currently listed among the Five Surnames and Seven Families, it was once the dominant family in Dongsheng tens of thousands of years ago.
At that time, the Ji family was extremely powerful. Not only did they dominate all the other families, they also had considerable influence in the sect.
But... that's how it is, it flourished and then declined, and there was internal division.
Then the huge Ji family was disbanded, and the family property was divided up.
There are several versions of the rumors about what happened at that time, but they are not important anymore.
It’s all over now, what’s the point of talking about those things...?
Later, descendants of the Ji family returned from Zhongzhou and rebuilt the Ji family ancestral hall, and then began the road to revival.
However, this time, the Ji family learned from the lessons of their past defeat and was no longer so aggressive, but instead was extremely low-key.
The magical thing is that after this family was revived, it has never been without Yuanying.
But at most there are only two Yuanyings, usually one older and one younger, and the two Yuanyings will not last for a long time.
There are also rumors that the Ji family actually has a disciple who has become a disciple of the Fifth Sect.
It is even possible that some of the sect's Nascent Souls are descendants of the Ji family using aliases.
No one knows what force spread this rumor, but they must have been a little worried about the Ji family.
During the war between tigers and humans, the Ji family happened to have two Yuanyings. One of them died, and the one who remained was the young Ji Xiaohua.
Simply put, the Ji family is not one of the top twelve families, but is definitely just a slightly inferior secondary force.
Everyone believes that the Ji family has unlimited potential. Among the twelve major forces, there are more than one or two that are wary of the Ji family.
The man also bowed to Qu Jianlei, "I guess you must be the Qu Ling master of Hongye Ridge?"
Look, people not only guessed that he was from Hongye Ridge, but also arbitrarily believed that he was the "Lord of the Ridge"!
"The name doesn't matter," Qu Jianlei replied with a smile.
He didn't want to deny it. After all, he was already a Nascent Soul, and it was not in keeping it a secret that suited his status.
Secondly, his original intention of being here was to get in touch with Baiyao Valley.
"The main thing is that you should state your request first, Brother Ji. You don't want to repair your martial arts tower, do you?"
When the Ji family was prosperous in the past, they had an important ancestral weapon called the Martial Arts Tower.
The Martial Arts Tower is a place for people to compete, and contestants can use all their moves to be tested.
You won't die if you fail in the competition, but it will give you the most realistic experience and increase a lot of practical experience.
Because of this treasure, the children of the Ji family at that time were famous for their superb fighting power and strong practical combat capabilities.
The most terrible thing is that they dare to exchange their lives for each other's, but the result is usually the greatest casualties at the lowest cost.
Later, the Ji family declined and this treasure was destroyed - the funny thing is, it was said to be destroyed by someone from the Ji family themselves.
This story is well known, but after tens of thousands of years, it has become a legend in the archives.
Ji Xiaohua answered without hesitation, "Thank you, the Martial Arts Tower is a thing of the past and cannot be repaired."
"A few days ago, one of our tribe members accidentally found a secret treasure, which is similar to the Secret Dreamland, and it is a little damaged..."
When he finished describing the secret realm, Qu Jianlei showed a strange look on his face, "Isn't this still the Martial Arts Tower?"
"It's different," Ji Xiaohua shook his head without hesitation, "This one allows for group battles, and there are secret realms to explore."
Qu Jianlei shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "This is... not easy for you."
"We can't make the same mistake again," Ji Xiaohua answered calmly, "I hope Master Qu Ling will keep this a secret."
"There's no need for me to tell everyone about it," Qu Jianlei answered seriously, and then smiled.
"I hope that there won't be any rumors that there are Ji family members in Hongye Ridge."
He was joking, but Ji Xiaohua replied seriously, "The disciples of the Ji family cannot hunt down a complete tiger-man Yuanying."
Qu Jianlei was a little helpless when he heard this, "This Dongsheng Continent... there really is no wall that is impenetrable!"
"It's hard to keep a secret," Ji Xiaohua nodded in agreement, "Is it hard to find someone who can search souls?"
“It seems to be in good order, but there is a lot of chaos underneath. There are countless nameless corpses in the wilderness.”
Qu Jianlei curled his lips, then nodded slowly, "That's right."
Ji Xiaohua coughed lightly upon hearing this, "But I trust Master Qu Ling. After all, we both have secrets."
He spoke very frankly, but for some reason, Qu Jianlei always felt that he was a little more calculating compared to Zhu Jiayi.
Perhaps, the shackles on his shoulders were too heavy. After all, the Ji family's former reputation had put too much pressure on others.
However, this was not the reason why the other party said such words to him - it sounded a bit like coercion, right?
But in the end, he still smiled nonchalantly, "My secret... do I have one?"
Ji Xiaohua nodded and said with certainty, "Yes, Hongye Ridge is abnormally mysterious."
Then he smiled again, but it looked a little stiff. "I don't need to say more, right?"
"Actually, you can say it," Qu Jianlei looked at him indifferently, and their eyes met, neither of them willing to look away.
The two looked at each other for a full half minute before Qu Jianlei said with a sigh, "Forget it, it's just business anyway."
He took a step back, but Ji Xiaohua took a step forward instead, "Master Qu Ling, your business... has a very small scope."
"Yeah," Qu Jianlei nodded, not caring, "We have special needs, so the price won't be low."
Seeing that he was indifferent, Ji Xiaohua was moved and dared not force him anymore.
The Ji family has kept in mind the iron rule that excess is as bad as deficiency for tens of thousands of years.
"It is said that it can be repaired, and you want to inspect it on site. Is it true?"
Qu Jianlei nodded, "It's true, but if the secret realm is too big, we may not have enough repair fluid."
"It's not very big," Ji Xiaohua shook his head, "but I don't have it with me either. Would it be convenient for you to come with me?"
This is a test of courage. Qu Jianlei is not afraid, but he also doesn't want to give people the impression that he is reckless.
He shook his head, "Just send it over. Business is done in the market, forget about it outside the market."
Ji Xiaohua really felt it was inconvenient, and he didn't want anyone to know that the Ji family had another secret treasure similar to the Martial Arts Tower.
Even if it cannot be covered up in the end, we can still cover it up one day at a time.
However, it was not appropriate for him to say anything tough at this time. He had already tried it just now, and it was really too much.
"Master Qu Ling, are you... a little worried about the Ji family?"
Qu Jianlei stared at him for three or four seconds before smiling slightly, "Do you think... yes?"
There was no emotion in his smile, but it gave people a feeling of disdain.
Ji Xiaohua calmed down even more. He nodded and said, "It seems... a bit regrettable then."
"It doesn't matter," Qu Jianlei spread his hands and said calmly, "Even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have our friendship."
In fact, he didn't really care about this deal. The other party's secret treasure seemed to be quite large, and he didn't know how much repair fluid would be needed.
Our main concern at the moment is not how much business we can accomplish, but to increase our visibility.
Now the Ji family has heard the news and is rushing here. Even if the deal cannot be made, their fame will only grow greater.
Ji Xiaohua was quite speechless after hearing this - please figure it out, you already know that my Ji family has a secret space treasure.
When the Ji family was at its peak, if a similar secret was known to others, the first thing that would be considered would be silencing the person.
But now... I am powerless to silence them, not to mention that the other party is also a powerful organization with several True Immortals.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Fellow Daoist, you know that my family has a damaged secret treasure, so may I ask... where does the repair fluid come from?"
—Tell me some of your secrets, and we’ll be even.
