Chapter 2242 Hundred Bridges
Qu Jianlei did not believe that the great will he was facing must have known the Immortal Master Wu Xuan.
The ability to leave the body is extremely rare among cultivators, but the world of cultivation is really too vast.
Therefore, the other party might not have had any good intentions when asking about Wu Xuan's whereabouts.
He replied in a deep voice, "I am just a small Nascent Soul. I don't know whether the Great Venerable has fallen."
"Still on guard against... boredom," Immortal Ji Ken sighed, "My last piece of advice, don't dwell too much on the Forgotten Peninsula."
The next moment, the aura on his body disappeared and his eyes became clear.
He glanced at Qu Jianlei, and his expression instantly became weird again.
He shook his head and sighed, "Your Excellency is truly... The Great Honored One allowed me to take five of your people to the Ascension Realm, no more."
Qu Jianlei shook his head. "Let's talk about this later. I am a little curious about the story of the Immortal Wei Bing. Can you tell me about it?"
"Him?" Immortal Ji Ken snorted, "He is the Great Venerable's last disciple. He received an internal mission and wanted to hunt the silkworm."
The flesh and bones of the snake were indeed in good demand in the upper realm, and the Zhenxian Wei Bing got the mission only through his connections.
However, he did not expect to run into a silkworm's nest, so he prepared a lot of supplies and planned to take the order alone.
Unfortunately, it eventually led to the emergence of the out-of-body silkworm. In a hurry, he could only use the life-saving trump card given by his master.
The Out-of-Body Immortal Lord sensed it instantly, but unfortunately he was caught off guard and was too late to rescue.
The Great Master originally did not want to interfere too much, although he was his last disciple, but the master led the way and it was up to the individual to practice.
He was thinking of waiting for his disciple to show up before paying him some attention, but unexpectedly, he discovered the presence of a star tapir at the place where his disciple disappeared!
That’s right, the True Immortal Wei Bing not only encountered the silkworm, but also the star tapir!
Most of the time, the Star Tapir has a good relationship with the human race, but Zhenzun instantly thought, isn’t the Forgotten Peninsula also home to Star Tapirs and Silkworms?
Qu Jianlei already knew what happened later, so there was no need to mention it again.
What Immortal Ji Ken wants to say is: In fact, the Star Tapir is a friendly force invited by Immortal Wei Bing!
Anyway, there was a weird atmosphere in this matter from beginning to end, even including the cognition of the silkworm.
Ji Ken didn't want to say this to Qu Jianlei, but the Great Master's will told him: This man has amazing luck, so don't be too rude.
When he heard this comment, he immediately changed his attitude - although he was usually very arrogant, he was also good at changing with the times!
Qu Jianlei frowned upon hearing this, "How could he have thought of inviting the Star Tapir to fight the Snake?"
"Star tapirs hate silkworms even more," said Immortal Ji Ken. "What they care about is protection. Killing silkworms... doesn't require any reward!"
"This is a bit..." Qu Jianlei shook his head speechlessly, "It doesn't feel like a coincidence."
"I never believe in coincidences," Ji Ken Zhenxian said solemnly, "all coincidences are destined by fate."
"After a while, I will have to go into the forbidden area again to find out some things. Master Qu Ling... would you like to come with me?"
Qu Jianlei waved his hand and answered straightforwardly, "I'm not familiar with the cooperation between the cultivators in the upper realm, so just go out on your own."
He never liked to team up with strangers, let alone the other party's suspicion had not been completely cleared.
"Okay," Immortal Ji Ken nodded indifferently, "I have almost finished my questions. Do you have anything else to ask?"
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and said, "This great lord...how should I address him?"
"You dare to ask, but I dare not tell you," Immortal Ji Ken waved his hands repeatedly, "I will stay in this world for another three years, keep in touch!"
After Dazun showed up, even he, who was always very bureaucratic, became enthusiastic.
However, Qu Jianlei was not interested. The other party's reaction was typical bureaucratic style.
It’s not that they don’t understand enthusiasm, it’s just that they won’t show it to useless people.
Then Bu Hu walked in and took out two origins, one was gold and the other was dark fire.
Qu Jianlei felt a familiar breath on the gold origin - if nothing unexpected happened, it should come from the ancient gold essence.
It can be seen that Shu Zun still has some influence in the upper realm, and he sells the Golden Origin everywhere.
Bu Hu probably also estimated that the origin of this source was difficult to conceal, so he took the initiative to say that this source was collected by a friend in the upper realm.
The origin of the dark fire is the harvest of Immortal Ji Ken’s trip to the forbidden area.
Bu Hu thought that a golden origin was a bit light, not to mention that it came from the Master of Magic, so he exchanged it for this dark fire.
This is one of the origins of fire. It is quite rare and has a limited scope of application. The key is that it is very popular among evil practitioners!
The cultivator who obtained this item felt a bit unlucky. After hearing about it, Immortal Bu Hu took the initiative to ask for an exchange.
She didn't bring much wealth and even fewer treasures, but Fairy Bu used her own name to guarantee it, so others could trust her.
In fact, the main reason was that she said this was the promise she made when she invited Hongyeling to take action.
Outsiders also knew how critical the situation was that day, knew the strength of Hongyeling's attack, and were even more aware of this team's hatred of evil.
There may be evil cultivators in the five major forces, but it is absolutely impossible in Hongye Ridge, and they are not afraid of the covetousness of evil cultivators.
Qu Jianlei was quite surprised to obtain two origins. This step of the fairy was extremely particular!
So he took out a relatively intact corpse of a silkworm - the kind at the Nascent Soul stage, and said, "I have to give you some change."
"This is not enough!" Bu Xianzi refused without hesitation, "At least three are needed... In fact, they are of no use to me."
The silkworm is full of treasures, but that depends on the right person. The silkworm is of no direct help to her, and she is not interested in taking it back to resell.
After all, this trip to the netherworld had almost drained her savings, and she had no interest in collecting treasures that she would not be able to use for the time being.
The truth is that she couldn't forget the Black Pony Tower. "At worst, I'll give you a discount when you tell me the secret technique."
"I can give you a discount, but I won't take advantage of you," Qu Jianlei said bluntly, "This corpse... counts as interest!"
When Zhenxian Bu Hu left, he still felt a little confused: When did Lord Qu Ling become so easy to talk to?
Jiang Hui was very concerned about the visit of Immortal Ji Ken.
No one knows how dilemma the Star Palace is in being sandwiched between Red Leaf Ridge and the upper realm.
After Immortal Ji Ken and his group left, she immediately asked about the content of their conversation.
Qu Jianlei did not hide the relevant matters from his family at all, so Jing Yuexin naturally knew about it.
"Are you still investigating the Out-of-Body Star Tapir and Silkworm?" After hearing this inside information, Master Jiang could no longer tolerate it.
"How about this, I'll take you to the Immortal Corpse to pay homage and see if it's the cause and effect of my Star Palace!"
The Star Palace is also one of the three suspected forces and has been subject to a number of investigations.
As a result, Immortal Ji Ken is still investigating, but he is keeping it secret from the Star Palace. This makes Jiang Hui completely unacceptable.
The two families that were suspected were only related to the Immortal Hongyun or Zeqi, but the one involved in the Star Palace was the fallen Great Venerable!
During previous investigations, everyone accepted this shame, but now...is it not over yet?
You know, in that battle, all the guardians of the precepts were seriously injured. Could it be that the immortal remains left behind by the Great Venerable were specifically meant to target his own people?
"Worship the corpse?" Jing Yuexin was obviously tempted, but in the end she said, "I have to discuss this with the boss."
However, Qu Jianlei's attitude was very clear, "No need to go. We were not invited before, so there is no need to get involved now."
Before leaving, the immortal had made it very clear that the water in the Forgotten Peninsula was too deep and it was better to stay away from it as much as possible.
Qu Jianlei is not afraid of facing an out-of-body opponent. If it is unavoidable, the worst that can happen is that he will just have a good fight!
But he really had nothing to do with those complicated relationships and calculations.
He was already very annoyed by the bureaucratic style of Immortal Ji Ken, so as for playing tricks with those old silver coins - forget it.
This has nothing to do with whether he has high IQ or not. He simply doesn't like that kind of life full of deception.
But Jiang Hui was a little dissatisfied with this answer, "Yue Xin, your boss doesn't think that Xingchen Palace is really suspicious, right?"
"He didn't say, and I don't want to ask," Jing Yuexin answered very straightforwardly, "But what if he's suspected?"
"As cultivators, we just need to do our best. At worst, you can't stay in the Star Palace anymore and come to Red Leaf Ridge to be a non-staff member..."
"Thank you so much!" Jiang Hui rolled her eyes angrily, and then rolled her eyes away.
"How about this, you don't have much to do in Red Leaf Ridge recently, why don't you help the Star Palace patrol?"
Recently, the Star Palace has launched a counterattack against the Heavenly Demon, and the process has been a bit bumpy.
It can be imagined that it is not easy to complete the transition from strategic defense to stalemate and then to strategic counterattack in a short period of time.
The Star Palace has even discovered that some forces have been trying to use demonic energy to attack opponents or dissidents.
It's not that these forces are unaware of the common hatred of the enemy, but some have deep-seated grievances, while others feel that the higher realms will lend a helping hand sooner or later.
There are also a few who have begun to experiment on how to "coexist in harmony" with evil spirits!
It is really like the saying goes, one kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people, and a big forest has all kinds of birds.
Especially at this moment of strategic counterattack, some individuals are still secretly trying to divert trouble to others.
Otherwise, why does Qu Jianlei never test human nature? Because human nature has its beautiful side, but also its ugly side...
Jing Yuexin didn't want to agree at first, but after listening to Jiang Hui for a while, she couldn't help it, "I'll go lobby the boss!"
Qu Jianlei quickly agreed and sent two groups of people to help the Star Hall maintain the situation.
One group is Paranoid and Mu Yu, the other group is Jiao Dao Ren and Qi Ya, each with two Jin Dans, touring around Zhongzhou.
In fact, Qu Jianlei's idea was, "I'm going to the upper realm soon, so we're really helping him, and we're just confusing him."
After sending out two groups of people, on the third night, Jin Ge Zhenxian arrived and asked, "Have you seen Bai Qiao?"
"Hundred..." Qu Jianlei almost repeated it before he realized, "Is that the will of the great master?"
"Who else could it be if not him?" Jin Ge Zhenxian asked back unhappily, "How dare you block my perception!"
