Chapter 2606 College Entrance Examination Immigrants
Tianli Zhenzun had never seen anything good before, but Han Li's attitude was different.
He said, "Baiqiao must have had many considerations in bringing out Taiyuanhai, but wanting to entice you is definitely one of them."
“One of his goals is to flatter him to death,” Qu Jianlei replied calmly. “This guy is incredibly cunning!”
That's what he said, but he didn't blame Baiqiao. No one's path to success is ever smooth.
As for the kind of thing that is praised to death, as long as you remain calm enough, it won't have any serious consequences.
Compared to other despicable methods, Baiqiao's tactic of flattery to kill is relatively restrained, and it may not necessarily be a bad thing.
As long as he can find his place and doesn't get carried away by fame and fortune, excessive praise could actually have a positive effect.
From another perspective, if he really gets arrogant, then even if others don't support him, he will stumble sooner or later!
However, thanks to Lingyun's publicity efforts, many friends and acquaintances still managed to find Qu Jianlei and his team.
There aren't many people who can speak to Qu Zhenzun, but he has many team members and friends.
For example, if Zhu Jiayi finds Qi Ya and wants the Zhu family disciples to enter the temple to broaden their horizons, shouldn't Fairy Ya at least tell Boss Qu first?
Lingyun Sect has not yet formulated clear rules regarding the number of people allowed to participate in the Taiyuan Sea Dao Discussion.
However, there is no doubt that the number of people will be very small. As a prestigious Nascent Soul level dojo, most people are not even qualified to look directly at it.
But as the main speaker of the discourse, it's not unreasonable for Qu Zhenzun to bring some relatives and friends to the event, is it?
Qu Jianlei didn't want to break this precedent, and even less did he want to be seen as "getting arrogant."
However, there are some relationships that even he finds difficult to navigate.
Like this Zhu Jiayi, who was the first True Immortal to clearly express his goodwill after he entered Cangwu, and who also provided substantial support.
Old Zhu is now very old and doesn't know when he'll live. How can he bear not to remember old times?
Therefore, he could only make a statement, saying that it depended on Ling Yun's decision, and that no more than three members of the Zhu family could be brought in!
Then Ji Xiaohua approached Jia Shuiqing again, hoping she could put in a good word and bring a few people into the venue.
What's particularly absurd is that one of the Nascent Soul cultivators came from Houde.
The Ji family's previous revival was thanks to the support of Zhongzhou, and this Nascent Soul cultivator had connections with a former Nascent Soul cultivator from the Star Palace.
The Ji family owes that person a debt of karma, and now that person is coming to demand repayment—the two sides are complete strangers, but karma objectively exists!
Ji Xiaohua even told Jia Shuiqing: "Let's not talk about whether it works out or not, just treat him as a member of the Ji family."
The consequences of our family's resurgence must be acknowledged, no matter the cost!
To be honest, Qu Jianlei quite admired Ji Xiaohua's personality, but the problem was that he didn't want to be seen as "getting carried away."
He could only say: A friend of a friend is not my friend... That person is not a cultivator from Cangwu at all, so I can't start this conversation!
Then, something happened that made him both laugh and cry.
Jia Shuiqing said that... that person bought a fourth-order spiritual vein from the Star Palace and said that he would cultivate in Cangwu from now on.
Qu Jianlei's lips twitched slightly as he listened: Good heavens, even college entrance exam migrants have appeared, is it really necessary?
Regardless of how popular Houde and the cultivators of Cangwu are now, it is undeniable that Cangwu is merely a lower realm with limited development potential.
It's not hard to understand why a virtuous cultivator would want to leverage the local connections and relationships in Cangwu to achieve certain goals.
But to directly relocate to Cangwu and even buy a spiritual vein, isn't that a bit too much of an execution?
However, Qu Jianlei disliked this kind of loophole-exploiting behavior because it was too unfair to other college entrance examination candidates!
In the areas where students transfer out, they are engaged in fierce competition; in the areas where they transfer in, education is already inadequate, and local students are being scrambled for resources.
So he still said: Buying a spiritual vein doesn't mean I'll take root in Cangwu... although it might be a bit of a waste.
From a practical standpoint, that Nascent Soul cultivator could have easily sold the spiritual vein after the Dao discussion ended, at worst losing some money.
Would college entrance exam migrants care about this little bit of money? What they care about is always that quota.
However, Qu Jianlei had no interest in saying any more and decisively did some calculations.
He planned to tell Jia Shuiqing the details: In the future, if you encounter this kind of mess, you'll know what to say.
But the next moment, he froze, "What the hell... what is all this?!"
So this Nascent Soul cultivator wasn't just putting on an act; he actually moved his entire family there!
But what surprised Qu Jianlei the most was... "She didn't go to explore the other world?"
Jia Shuiqing nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed, "I also feel... it's not easy!"
The development of otherworldly realms has been going on for over seventy years, and anyone with a bit of a way has jumped on the bandwagon.
This Nascent Soul cultivator, however, was hiding in a secluded fourth-tier spiritual vein with seventy or eighty disciples and grand-disciples, focusing solely on cultivation.
The reason she was so cautious was because of this unnoticed spiritual vein, and the area around it was rich in resources.
The key point is that there is a rule in the Houde Realm: if a newly discovered spiritual vein is occupied by someone for more than a certain number of years, ownership is assumed by default.
The lower the grade of the spiritual vein, the shorter the time it needs to occupy, while the higher the grade, the longer the time required.
Moreover, during this process, the occupier must ensure effective control over the spiritual vein!
After the rights are confirmed, you still need to go through certification in order to actually own the spiritual vein, but that costs a small amount of money.
Therefore, this Nascent Soul cultivator and his disciples lived a secluded life, focusing on their cultivation.
Of course, people cannot live outside of society. Forty years ago, her disciples heard about the other world while they were out traveling.
This Nascent Soul could have a karmic connection with Ji Xiaohua, and it also had some connection with the Lingyun Sect. At that time, it was still not too late to think of a solution.
However, by then, the time she had occupied the spiritual vein was almost up, so she had to give up the risk.
Life is unpredictable, and some things are truly like a series of interconnected problems, not only piling up and getting complicated, but also incredibly tangled.
In fact, her situation is not uncommon in the world of virtuous people.
Many cultivators hide in deep mountains and forests or in the depths of the starry sky, cultivating silently and rarely having contact with the outside world.
This time, Lingyun's publicity was so overwhelming that it brought to light many cultivators who had previously been recognized as missing.
Even the two True Venerables who were generally considered to have been missing have resurfaced, let alone those Nascent Soul cultivators.
Some people disappear for special reasons, but the vast majority do so because they want to keep a low profile.
Jia Shuiqing also shared his thoughts on this, saying, "Boss, sometimes I think back to how we used to develop our character in such a sneaky way."
The phrase "developing stealthily" was actually said by the eldest brother himself, and it was definitely not something that Old Lady Jia deliberately provoked.
However, there was no doubt that she felt some empathy for the situation of this Nascent Soul female cultivator.
"Well... alright," Qu Jianlei had nothing more to say. Of course, he still had to give Jia Shuiqing face.
This has little to do with the fact that her family has two Nascent Soul cultivators; his friendship with the old lady has a long history.
To this day, Jia Shuiqing and Zi Jiuxian are still by his side, keeping up with the team. What a incredible coincidence!
It's not that the True Venerable doesn't see True Immortals; as long as those old friends who fought side by side can keep up, everything else is negotiable.
The path of spiritual cultivation is destined to become increasingly lonely. Say nothing, just cherish the people in front of you, let alone old friends.
This Nascent Soul cultivator is actually quite hardworking, deeply understanding the principle that "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," and he puts it into practice.
Not to mention that Grandma Jia was empathetic, even Qu Jianlei himself felt some resonance.
Now, this Nascent Soul cultivator has finally secured ownership of that fourth-order spiritual vein, but without hesitation, he exchanged it for a fourth-order one in the Cangwu Realm.
The price difference definitely exists, and it's not just a little bit; she made a considerable profit.
However, this also basically proves that she is determined to develop in Cangwu, rather than being a short-term temporary immigrant.
Strictly speaking, unless one has great ambitions, there isn't much difference between cultivating in Cangwu and cultivating in Houde.
There are indeed Nascent Soul cultivators in Cangwu who want to leave their physical bodies but have no way to do so. Their struggle is truly unbearable.
However, it's important to understand that with a population of nearly 10 billion in Cangwu, on average, there might not be one person with a similar need in a hundred years!
Theoretically speaking, the upper limit of Cangwu is locked, and the complaints that Qu Jianlei heard were not limited to just one or two people.
But in reality, most people can't even reach that level, so thinking about it is completely unnecessary!
Of course, Qu Zhenzun was at a different level—he was the one who single-handedly turned the tide and repelled the invasion of the Heavenly Demons!
Therefore, the people he associates with are naturally at a different level, and are among the few who have the right to complain.
This female cultivator, who is in the Nascent Soul stage, is very down-to-earth and believes that since they all have fourth-order spiritual veins, it doesn't matter where they cultivate.
Of course, this is a matter of opinion.
For example, in China, is a 400-square-meter villa the same thing in the capital and a third-tier city?
Even setting aside the price, just considering the various opportunities and sense of superiority, can they be the same?
But those who truly understand life, or the truly strong, don't care about these things!
This female cultivator believes that since both are fourth-order spiritual vein cultivators, it doesn't matter where they cultivate; true powerhouses never complain about their environment!
However, she does have some connections in Houde, so if her disciples are capable of breaking through to the Out-of-Body stage, they won't be destined to be left without anyone to turn to.
Anyway, in this world, many things are like drinking water; only the person drinking knows whether it's hot or cold. As long as you feel it's right for yourself, that's fine.
Therefore, Qu Jianlei could only say, "Since you can empathize, then within the limits of what is possible, we will make appropriate arrangements."
"I think it's a good thing that Ji Xiaohua can't forget cause and effect. Otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible for him to try to erase cause and effect."
Cause and effect can exist forever, but they can also be gradually eroded, which is basically... somewhat similar to the law of conservation of energy.
Anyway, Ji Xiaohua is doing a pretty good job as the head of the Ji family.
"However, we can't agree to this spot right now. I don't even know what kind of methods Lingyun uses."
