Chapter 2160 News from the Third Pavilion Master
Although the Chunwei Pen was destroyed, it was still a quasi-out-of-body level treasure after all.
Generally speaking, magic weapons may not be as durable as those of cultivators, but they are incomparable to ordinary items.
For treasures of this level, as long as they are not destroyed to the point of leaving nothing behind, there is a certain possibility of repairing them.
Qu Jianlei shook his head decisively. "Then I can only say that I am sorry. I can't repair it, and I can't afford the compensation. So forget about this deal."
Although he refused, he had a good impression of the Third Pavilion Master.
Let’s not talk about the past grudges. After asking a few questions today, he took out a gift item on his own initiative. He is definitely a very particular person!
He is not like other people who only know how to test the waters and ask questions for a long time but do not take any practical action.
As for the trade? That really didn't matter. He really hadn't figured out how to deal with the gift.
It would be a lie to say that he didn't want it, but after receiving it, with the hypocritical attitude of a fake righteous man, he might not be able to swallow it smoothly.
Moreover, he had no idea where this ritual vessel came from. Who knew if that world was in ruins?
If he didn't just calculate casually, but calculated carefully, maybe there would be a result. But is it appropriate to do so in front of the Third Pavilion Master?
Not to mention, if you carefully calculate the ritual vessels of a world, and if that world does not collapse - guess how big the backlash will be?
In fact, Qu Jianlei was not optimistic about this ritual object. At least he did not think that the broken axe could successfully swallow it.
Canfu's current condition is not good, and he has not even swallowed the second guardian rule, but this is not the point.
The key point is that the ceremonial vessel that the other party took out was a Si Nan, it was a Si Nan!
In what kind of world of immortal cultivation, the ritual instrument would be the Si Nan? It must be the kind that conquers all realms and kills people everywhere.
Didn’t Emperor Huangdi build the compass chariot in order to hunt down Chiyou?
Qu Jianlei refused outright, but Immortal Sanhe smiled slightly and took out something.
This object is slender and crystal clear, with precious light all over, but it is broken into two parts, with only some tendons and bones connecting them.
The broken part in the middle is cracked into strands, which not only looks miserable, but also gives people a strong feeling of "wasting nature's resources".
Immortal Sanhe smiled and said, "It told me that you can repair it!"
"This is really... blackmailing me?" Qu Jianlei felt a little helpless.
He was not sure whether Yunguan could repair this treasure. Putting aside the level, the only magic weapons that Yunguan was good at repairing were space-type ones.
He was about to count with his fingers, but then gave up dejectedly. It was really not advisable to do fortune-telling too much.
However, he could still sense that "this magic weapon... should not have any intelligence yet!"
"A little bit," said the Third Pavilion Master, still unable to help but reveal a trace of regret, "It's a pity that it has gone dormant."
After several generations of cultivation, a little bit of spirituality was finally revealed, but it was destroyed in one day.
That feeling... anyone who has raised a child knows it. It's absolutely impossible for him not to want to beat the other person up.
But the problem is... he can't win! And at his age, he has seen through many things.
Since he was the one who took the initiative to calculate the fate of the True Immortal from the Five Friends Alliance, there must be a cause for every effect. There is no need to put the blame on others.
"That's your intuition, fellow Taoist?" Qu Jianlei glanced at him, "Do you think I can practice?"
"It's a kind of telepathy... synaesthesia," Immortal Sanhe didn't mind discussing it with the other party, "Anyway, I don't dare to predict your future."
He was an expert in divination, but he had already lost a spring examination pen and definitely did not want to get himself involved.
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei again, "How about you tell me if you can repair it?"
"I don't dare either," Qu Jianlei shook his head decisively, "After all, he is at the quasi-out-of-body level."
This was just a polite remark, not a real reason. The real reason was that he was a little skeptical as to whether the other party had made any causal connection in the writing.
Anyway, it’s never a bad thing to be more vigilant.
Then the two looked at each other for more than ten seconds and laughed together.
After laughing for almost half a minute, Immortal Sanhe spoke seriously, "This antique will be considered a gift for meeting you."
"As for the matter of the Spring Examination Pen, I would trouble you to consider it carefully. It doesn't matter whether you can do it well or not."
That being said, his heartache for Chunwei Bi was real, so at the end, he couldn't help but add one more sentence.
"Since you can use spells to kill people who have left their bodies, you must have powerful magic weapons to protect you, right?"
Anyone with a little common sense knows that spells can have backlash, and the Third Pavilion Master is very sure of this.
Judging from Hongye Ridge's actions, it is 99% impossible that Lord Qu Ling could have used some evil forbidden methods to survive after using the spell.
So, what protected this person was either a ritual vessel or the terrifying existence that night...either way, it was definitely powerful.
They are all smart people, and he also understands why Lord Qu Ling did not make any divination, and he understands it very well.
Without this kind of defensive mentality, how could the Hongyeling team grow and become stronger?
"That's it..." Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "It's better to obey than to be respectful. Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist."
As I said before, the other party was too particular. Even if the repair was not successful, he would give him a gift, which made it impossible for him to refuse.
Looking at it from another angle, if he still refuses to agree, there is a high probability that the other party will make a note of it.
Senior Xizhao has long said that cultivating immortals is never just about fighting and killing.
Qu Jianlei could truly feel how sad the Third Pavilion Master was about the loss of the Chunwei Pen.
Even though he seems to be lowering his attitude and looking calm at this moment, that is just what others want him to see.
Just think about it and you will understand. Why did one of the masters of the Book Pavilion hide his identity and stay in Hongye Ridge for so long?
The other party gave an answer, but was that all? Qu Jianlei really didn't believe that the Third Pavilion Master had no other ideas at all.
He sighed, "This is a waste of time and money. In the future, we should try to reduce misunderstandings as much as possible."
“Who said it wasn’t?” The Third Pavilion Master smiled bitterly and shook his head, then handed over the Spring Examination Pen. “This… is a bother!”
Even if he asked the other party to help repair it, he couldn't hide his reluctance.
"I'll try my best," Qu Jianlei took over the Spring Examination Pen, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, even if I can't repair it, I have other intentions."
The Third Pavilion Master was invigorated upon hearing this, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Haoran Sect?"
If I could get a little information about the Haoran Sect, this Chunwei Pen would be...it doesn't matter if I can't repair it for the time being.
Qu Jianlei frowned and replied with a wry smile, "This is a bit difficult, but it must be a thoughtful gesture."
"Okay, I believe in Master Qu Ling," the Third Pavilion Master spoke really frankly.
After a pause, he continued, "I think Master Qu Ling seems to be a little worried recently?"
"This... Tsk," Qu Jianlei smacked his lips and sighed, "There's one thing I don't understand."
"Fellow Daoist, you are knowledgeable and I hope you can help me solve my doubts. Why are there no demons in the folded space of the Forgotten Peninsula?"
"Well..." Immortal Sanhe thought for a moment, and then his expression gradually became serious.
After a long while, he finally spoke after a pause, "To be honest, fellow Daoist, I have never understood why the upper world values the Forgotten Peninsula."
"There must be something so exciting that it makes me feel out of my body, otherwise it is completely inexplicable."
"In that case, perhaps the upper realm has some hidden means to deal with external intrusions."
It may also be aimed at the soul... Qu Jianlei nodded slightly and added silently in his heart.
The Third Pavilion Master paused and added, "This matter only needs to be known between you and me. Don't discuss it lightly."
Qu Jianlei nodded again before asking, "Has anything strange ever happened on the Forgotten Peninsula?"
"That's quite a lot," Immortal Sanhe said slowly, "I can't even finish talking about it. Otherwise, is it a recognized forbidden place?"
Then he asked, "What on earth happened to you, fellow Taoist?"
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and answered, "I have a companion in spirit form, who is lost in there."
"This..." The Third Pavilion Master was stunned. After a long while, he slowly nodded. "Is it this expedition? Was it instigated by Wen Yu?"
"Yeah," Qu Jianlei nodded and sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't go."
He was not belittling Paranoid or Mu Yu. Putting aside his perception, if he went, at least there would be two more old men around him, right?
Immortal Sanhe thought for a moment and asked with interest, "What do you think of Wenyu?"
"Ask Yu?" Qu Jianlei was slightly stunned. He really hadn't thought about this question carefully.
Although he knew that the other party must have a reason for asking this, he still answered honestly, "It's a bit annoying."
"Haha," the Third Pavilion Master smiled slightly, his smile was meaningful, "After you get tired of him... won't you automatically stay away from him?"
Oh my god... Qu Jianlei was stunned. He had indeed never considered it from this angle.
Anyway, if you don't understand, just ask. It's not shameful. "What is the Third Pavilion Master's suggestion?"
"I don't have any good suggestions," Immortal Sanhe shook his head, "I can only say... this person is not simple."
The fact that the master of the library could say the word "not simple" is really worth pondering.
Qu Jianlei simply continued to ask, "Is it just that he is not simple, or is it that Sanjiangduguan is not simple either?"
"Sanjiang..." Immortal Sanhe laughed again after hearing this, "He is just a fool, he just thinks he is smart!"
This news is really explosive.
Being called a fool is not a big deal. After all, with the status of the Third Pavilion Master, it is not a problem for him to say so, and it is highly credible.
But with these two evaluations, the relationship between Sanjiang Duguan and Wen Yuhuazhu is even more worthy of consideration.
One is not simple and the other is a fool. So, will the not simple one willingly charge into battle for the fool?
Qu Jianlei was lost in thought for a moment, thinking silently.
The Third Pavilion Master waited for a while, then asked with a smile, "Nothing else you want to ask?"
"I think your smile is a bit malicious," Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, "but I don't have any gifts in return for these questions."
He has always believed that "too much is as bad as too little" and that everything should be done in moderation.
Regardless of whether continuing to ask would make him look stupid and thus be looked down upon by the other party, it is enough to say that he might be led astray.
It is important to learn to think independently. So far, the other party has provided enough information.
