Chapter 1980 Smuggling Barrier
"Really...immortal?" The two Jindan were both stunned when they heard this.
They both said that everyone has a true immortal in their family, but if they really want to invite their own Nascent Soul to come, it is not easy.
The two hesitated for a moment, and a Jindan asked, "Is it really possible to talk?"
When he said "can be discussed", it's not just a matter of whether there is stock or not - you also have to be a true immortal!
Otherwise, it would be quite risky for several Jindan to discuss such a big deal in front of Yuanying.
"I told you to go and invite people," Claire said calmly, "By the way... I have quite a few True Immortal ancestors!"
This isn't a particularly polite thing to say, but if it can prevent something bad from happening, it's worth it.
"More than one..." The two Jindan exchanged glances and nodded slowly.
This time they completely believed that the other party's power... was really not small, otherwise they would never dare to speak like this.
However, there are indeed different big guys standing behind those people who engage in smuggling.
Otherwise... do you really think that anyone can eat that bowl of rice?
Three days later, one of the Jindan came again and invited Claire to talk outside the city.
He said that his immortal had already arrived, but there were too many acquaintances in the city, so it was not appropriate for him to show up.
Claire walked out the door without saying a word, followed closely by the Klos siblings.
Then, Qu Jianlei appeared and followed the three people.
The Jindan looked at him carefully and muttered to himself: Could this person... be a true immortal?
He already had a pretty clear idea of the situation of this group of six people: three at the Jindan stage and three at the foundation-building stage.
Who would have thought that one of the golden elixirs was actually a true immortal with his aura suppressed?
Then he subconsciously glanced at the courtyard again: It was such a simple place, it was such an honor to have a true immortal temporarily staying there.
The flying boat traveled more than 200 kilometers out of the city and arrived at a mountain range.
There are two places at the foot of the mountain. They look very ordinary, just a little bigger, and feel like they are used by caravans.
The flying boat stopped in front of a place, and Qu Jianlei walked down with three people, releasing a little bit of momentum.
The body of Jindan beside him stiffened slightly again: Oh my god, he really is an immortal!
Qu Jianlei's aura was not directed at him, so it did not cause any harm.
In a hurry, the door of the bank opened wide and a burly old man walked out.
The old man also suppressed his breath and laughed loudly, "Haha, a distinguished guest has arrived. Da Yecheng Sanshi greets fellow Taoist."
This must be greeted at the door, because he has something to ask for, so it is necessary to be polite
Qu Jianlei smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, "Qu Jianlei, the idle cloud and wild crane, greets you, fellow Taoist."
"Okay, please come in," Sanshi Zhenxian enthusiastically led the person into the room.
There were maids and children in the hall, who served the guests fragrant tea and dried fruits, which was a perfect reception.
Qu Jianlei first looked around the interior, then nodded slowly, "It turns out there is something else going on inside."
"It's normal operation," Sanshi Zhenxian replied lightly, "A tall tree attracts the wind. Although we are not afraid, there is no need to be afraid, right?"
Qu Jianlei nodded in agreement, "Indeed, no one likes to be watched."
After chatting for a few more sentences, True Immortal Sanshi asked, "Fellow Daoist Qu... where are you from?"
This question is very straightforward, but it's normal. We are already at the top of the food chain, so there's no need to play so many tricks.
"You will know it later," Qu Jianlei did not answer directly, but did not avoid it either.
Just like other people's evaluation of Hongyeling, Qu Jianlei also has a clear understanding of his own situation.
If the team really moves to Zhongzhou, it will most likely not be rejected.
After all, this is a pure fighting team, and they have experience and means to deal with the demons.
To put it another way, even if he was rejected, the worst that could happen was that he would be sent back to Dongsheng. It's impossible for him to kill anyone, right?
So he didn't mind giving out his real name. Firstly, it was a matter of time, and secondly, it was a way to make friends.
However, it is better to delay it for a while longer.
"Okay," Sanshi Zhenxian nodded, not caring at all, but instead emphasized, "We will keep it a secret for you."
"I heard that you have multiple bottles of repair fluid. Is this true or not?"
The news from Zhongzhou is really a bit behind the times. Qu Jianlei secretly sighed in his heart. He was prepared to be recognized.
The reputation of Hongyeling Dongsheng is now at its peak.
And who among those who have heard of Hongye Ridge doesn’t know Lord Qu Ridge or “Ancestor Qu”?
But thinking about the fact that his own repair fluid was transported through smuggling channels, he could understand this information barrier.
Smuggling is originally about the interest rate difference, so concealing the supplier of goods is also an inevitable means to prevent short circuits.
This is what the smugglers do, and it is also a protection for Hongyeling in the short term.
So he nodded slightly, "It's not too much, three servings can still be taken out."
Then he took out a bottle of repair fluid and showed it.
Immortal Sanshi was also pleased. He scanned the area with his spiritual sense twice and then nodded. "So, is this matter settled?"
Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this. "We have no problem here. Let's talk to the people below about the details?"
Sanshi nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Fellow Daoist, you are not an unknown person in Dongsheng, right?"
"You can find out if you send someone there," Qu Jianlei replied casually.
"I heard that a new force has emerged over there, in some ridge..." Sanshi Zhenxian spoke as if chatting.
"It is said that he is very powerful and has a way to deal with the demons."
Qu Jianlei replied indifferently, "If you want to know, go and find out for yourself."
"Okay," Sanshi Zhenxian was not angry. The transaction had not started yet, so there was no need to be angry.
In fact, he had his own reasons for probing like this, and now he just spoke openly about it.
"What I mean is, with your ability, can you please get some more repair fluid? The price is negotiable."
He didn't believe it. The other party just happened to have three bottles of repair fluid, but he couldn't say it so bluntly.
"That's a bit too much to ask," Qu Jianlei shook his head and answered casually.
"Everyone knows that monopoly business is easy to do, but can't the cargo owner do it himself? Why should he hand it over to you?"
"That's true," Immortal Sanshi nodded.
But the next moment, he said meaningfully, "But it is from Dongsheng after all... I still have some connections in Zhongzhou."
Qu Jianlei finally turned his head to look at him and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, your idea is a bit dangerous."
"Haha, that's just what I said," Sanshi Zhenxian didn't take it seriously and instead laughed heartily.
Then, he sighed again, "The main thing is that I have a friend who also needs repair fluid, so... why not bother two people for one thing?"
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "A hundred birds in the forest are nothing compared to a bird in the hand. Let's deal with the matter at hand first."
"That's the truth!" Sanshi Zhenxian nodded and replied with a smile, "I was impatient. I'm grateful for your advice."
The four of them stayed in the room for about an hour and finalized everything they needed to discuss.
Then someone took people to the scene to investigate, and when Qu Jianlei left, he did not take the bottle of repair fluid with him.
Looking at the repair fluid in front of him, Sanshi Zhenxian frowned, pondered for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "Amazing!"
Once the deal was done, it was a quick transaction and three days later, the land officially changed hands.
During this period of time, Sanshi Zhenxian should have tested the repair liquid, but he didn't even inspect the remaining two bottles on the spot.
Anyway, what the other party gets is the land. If the goods are not what was ordered, the monk can run away but the temple cannot.
During this period, Qu Jianlei's side also confirmed the identity of the Three Stone Immortals.
He was also a well-known figure in Daye City and one of the leaders of the "Five Friends Alliance" Chamber of Commerce.
As the name suggests, the Five Friends Alliance consists of five true immortals.
Although it was established not long ago, only more than three hundred years ago, its business is booming.
Not only did they occupy a large market share in Daye City, they also actively expanded outward and opened branches in many cities.
Moreover, the current Five Friends Alliance should have more than five True Immortals. Only they themselves know how many there are exactly.
Sanshi Zhenxian is a very influential person in the Five Friends Alliance and can be ranked in the top three among the five friends.
The origin of this person is not very clear. It is said that he is the ancestor of a family who went out to travel.
There is no doubt that if he is really the ancestor of a family, then this family must have more than one true immortal.
Otherwise, this person has his own aura when he acts, and it is not certain that he is a true immortal without enough confidence.
However, no one could tell clearly whether he was representing himself or the Five Friends Alliance in this transaction.
But Qu Jianlei didn't care. He didn't need to know the other party's true background, as long as there were clues.
If something really happens later, the worst that can happen is that we can just go find the Five Friends Alliance to discuss it.
After obtaining the land, the next step is to transfer ownership and register household registration.
The owner of the land is not Sanshi, but probably an agent. It is now registered under Claire's name, still using her real name.
In addition to her, the Kolos brothers and sisters were also registered, but for the others... there was no need to rush.
Next up is civil engineering.
Sanshi has built quite a few houses on this land, which are relatively concentrated and seem more suitable for vacation, not for external business.
There were originally several small spirit gathering arrays and defense arrays here. Sanshi’s people took away the defense arrays and left the spirit gathering arrays behind.
In their words, the spirit gathering array is just a replacement, but if the defensive array is not dismantled, the new owner will not keep it.
Although the world of immortal cultivation is vast, the defense formations of each major force are different.
If the original owner tampered with the defense array, bad things could easily happen, just like the backdoor program on the technology side.
Therefore, the people of Sanshi Zhenxian simply dismantled the defensive formation, which can be considered as acting in an orderly manner.
The first thing Qu Jianlei and his team did was to dig an underground stone chamber and set up a teleportation array.
At the same time, he also began to build a simple defensive formation, not to guard against external enemies, but mainly to cover up spatial fluctuations.
