Qu Jianlei also has the ability to repair spiritual veins. If I were to make a move, I would only need to perform a few more divinations, and he should be able to take all aspects into consideration.
However, the skilled are different after all. Even he had to admire the way the Lingyun Sect disciples handled certain details.
In the path of cultivation, there is indeed no best, only better; some techniques are quite amazing in his eyes.
Needless to say, no one dares to easily provoke Qu Zhenzun's subordinates, let alone now that Lingyun disciples are also present.
There are indeed several team members, led by Bentley, protecting the Lingyun disciples and mediating disputes.
Red Leaf Ridge has no interest in governing Cangwu; the Star Palace is basically in charge, with the Four Sacred Mountains providing only minor assistance.
However, this dispute mainly stems from college entrance examination migrants, or real estate investors.
With the repair of the fifth-order spiritual veins, the number of cultivators and forces in the lower realm of Houde is increasing.
The spiritual veins have not yet been fully repaired, but the awareness of investing in the future is not limited to the technological world.
In fact, the mystical side is more concerned with sustainability and emphasizes foresight, because of its longevity, it looks further ahead.
Many of the entities that come to buy property may not seem large, but upon closer inspection, one can often sense the shadow of a behemoth behind them.
True powerful forces should not care about such small gains, but who has a grudge against money?
The cost isn't too high, so consider it a casual move. If it succeeds, great; if it doesn't, it's fine too.
Incidentally, it would also allow them to establish connections with Qu Zhenzun's forces. Why not?
This is precisely why many cultivators from the upper realms don't even acknowledge the One Palace and Four Sacred Mountains, yet they are particularly fond of Red Leaf Ridge...
In this situation, even if Hongye Ridge wanted to stay out of it, it would be unlikely, otherwise, the order of Cangwu would be affected.
According to incomplete statistics, there are now more than fifty small and medium-sized businesses that have immigrated here.
Currently, there are not enough fourth-tier spiritual veins available in Cangwu to distribute, and some forces are directly eyeing third-tier spiritual veins.
Once the fifth-order spiritual veins are repaired, the entire realm will experience a small boom in development, and perhaps the third-order can be upgraded to the fourth-order.
At this moment, the price of spiritual veins in Cangwu has been driven up, and in some places it can even rival the price of Houde Efeng area.
This is really absurd, but believe it or not, some people actually believe it!
In this situation, only Hongye Ridge could barely keep things in check.
The good thing is that no matter how powerful their background, no one dares to disobey their orders—someone's reputation is earned through fighting!
Even so, some people have protested, saying that their family's rules for buying and selling spiritual veins are not problematic and have received the support of the upper sect.
As a result, Qingning and Qing'er left their bodies together and went to visit the True Venerable behind the scenes: Is this because True Venerable Qu is not around recently?
As a result, the true master decisively stated that he had failed in managing his subordinates and was willing to offer compensation as a token of his apology.
So now there's a saying in Cangwu: "Don't say that there's only one temple and four sacred mountains, yet the red leaves haven't even left the mountain!"
Qu Jianlei only needs to know a little about these things; his team has earned such a reputation because they are on the side of the general trend.
If you don't believe me, he'll bring the Relic Realm over and incorporate it into Cangwu's management system, making it a lower realm. That would immediately change everything!
Therefore, the key to maintaining a good reputation is to stand on the side of the majority and never take the opposite side.
These are not big of a deal. What Qu Jianlei cares more about is how the Forgotten Peninsula was handled.
This is a sensitive point, and he didn't ask Baiqiao—once some things are said, it's hard to pretend you don't know!
The Forgotten Peninsula is relatively peaceful now. It has always been a famous forbidden area, and the One Palace and Four Sacred Mountains are closely guarded.
However, as the supply of spiritual veins becomes increasingly tight, the buying and selling of spiritual veins is also spreading towards the Forgotten Peninsula.
As Qu Jianlei slowly processed the information, he quietly asked, "Ancestor, you seem to know a lot about the Forgotten Peninsula?"
"Tch," the woman scoffed dismissively, "It's nothing but a clumsy imitation of Taiyuanhai!"
Hmm, this sounds like there's a story behind it? Qu Jianlei's curiosity was piqued. "Then... tell me more about it?"
"I'll lie down and tell you the story," the woman replied irritably, "the kind where I'm lying down, do you want me?"
You can speed on any road... Qu Jianlei was speechless. "I mean, can you effectively manage the relict community?"
"The Remnants are a bit strange," the woman's voice said calmly. "We can manage the Taiyuan Sea, but the Forgotten Peninsula... we're not qualified!"
As they were talking, Qu Jianlei raised an eyebrow and disappeared from the area.
The next moment, he had already arrived in the void. Looking at the two figures shooting towards him from afar, he sent out a divine sense, "Halt!"
The figures stopped; they were Lian Xing's two Nascent Soul cultivators: Kunxiu Zhenzun and Sheniu Zhenzun.
When Qu Jianlei appeared, Han Li and Jin Ge also appeared one after the other, only a few seconds apart.
She Niu first bowed and spoke politely, "Greetings, Venerable Qu Zhenzun. We have been waiting for you for a long time, and suddenly we discovered something strange about this place..."
For a world as vast as Lianxing to select six people to come along, there must be a reason. The True Venerables must each have their own strengths.
After Qu Jianlei entered the Houde Realm, there was no further news, and the six True Venerables were certainly worried.
When someone senses that Qu Zhenzun's cause and effect has appeared in another void, and rushes to understand it, isn't that normal?
Qu Jianlei quickly calculated what was going on and naturally didn't care.
He casually remarked, "This is a friend of mine who is about to undergo an astral projection to make his final realizations in the void."
It's a bit against everyone's understanding that someone who's about to leave their body would still come to the void.
However, the two did not suspect anything, but only looked at the illusion array—this kind of method could deceive passing True Venerables, but it could not deceive those who were determined.
She Niu Zhenzun nodded slightly, "Protect her? No problem!"
"No!" Qu Jianlei waved his hand dismissively, stating decisively, "I came here precisely to hide from you!"
She Niu Zhenzun and Kun Xiu Zhenzun exchanged a glance, their faces turning bright red—this guy's swearing is so vulgar!
“Leave as if you were never here,” Jin Ge said coldly. “We appreciate your kindness.”
He paused for a moment, then added, "We didn't intend to silence them; we've shown plenty of sincerity."
"These words..." Kunxiu Zhenzun's face was really embarrassed, and he looked at Han Li, "You can't insult people like that, can you?"
"Do you think we want this?" The handsome young man looked at her helplessly, "But there are indeed significant potential risks..."
This exchange not only provoked the True Venerable of the Star Realm, but also provoked Qu Jianlei.
He truly hadn't expected that even though he had hidden so far away, the other party would still be able to find him so quickly.
In any case, he would never allow cultivators from the Star Realm to get close.
This has nothing to do with discrimination; the ominous atmosphere of a world on the verge of destruction makes no one dare to gamble.
Even Han Li and Xiao You couldn't stand it back then and ran away. It was only because he was thinking about things that he persevered.
But now, Jing Yuexin's experience has been exposed. How should we deal with it?
Finally, he simply told Bentley to direct the cultivators of the Cangwu Realm to turn this place into a forbidden zone.
Creating a restricted area is not a task that can be completed in a day or two, and the subsequent daily patrols will consume a lot of manpower and resources.
However, for Qu Zhenzun now, this is all small change. He can clearly feel the change in his wealth and spending habits.
As for the patrol team's cultivation level, which is only at the Nascent Soul stage? That doesn't matter, his clone is not far away.
He was just worried that he might not be able to take care of everything and that there might be some oversights, so he needed some people to help fill in the gaps.
However, the news spread like wildfire.
Many cultivators from Cangwu, upon hearing that someone in Red Leaf Ridge was attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, proactively came to offer their assistance—"We'll help you for free!"
In the current Cangwu Realm, Qu Zhenzun is everyone's greatest pillar of support, and many people have dealt with him.
Ultimately, a strong enough reputation will attract customers who bring their own food, even if the host doesn't need it.
However, with so many people helping, the news that Qu Zhenzun was in Cangwu still spread.
Then, a few True Venerables came over, their main request being to figure out the new path to leaving the body.
Qu Jianlei had already checked the three most urgent ones before heading to the Relic World.
The phenomenon of achieving astral projection is so rare in the entire Houde Realm that it only occurs once every three to five years; that's already quite remarkable.
Based on a timeframe of one thousand years, at most two hundred such attempts will occur, and more than ninety percent of them will fail.
Therefore, the number of True Venerables in the Realm of Profound Virtue has always hovered around one hundred; that's how big data works.
Those who choose unconventional methods to achieve astral projection are even fewer; perhaps only one every twenty years.
However, this did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm for seeking information; for such an important event, you can never have too much knowledge.
Having food in hand gives you peace of mind.
These True Venerables who came to seek help learned that True Venerable Qu was protecting his teammates, so they left a few Nascent Soul cultivators behind to help.
Leaving the nascent soul behind might not be effective, but not leaving it behind is a matter of attitude.
During this process, the avatar of the Hundred Bridges Ascetic also arrived, but seeing such a grand scene, it was somewhat inconvenient for him to get close.
Even the cultivators of Lianxing noticed this scene, but at this moment, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators patrolling around Jing Yuexin had already exceeded one hundred.
The number of them isn't that large, but they are all strong Nascent Soul cultivators—those with weaker combat power are simply not worth mentioning.
With this lineup, as long as they dare to fight, they should have no problem holding off two or three Nascent Soul True Venerables in the short term!
If it takes a little longer... at least several hundred more Nascent Soul cultivators could come to our aid!
Under these circumstances, anyone who dares to launch a sneak attack on Jing Yuexin will undoubtedly become a public enemy of Cangwu and will have no place to hide in Houde.
Qu Jianlei, on the other hand, was a little uncomfortable with it, feeling that it was a bit too high-profile—he preferred to develop his skills discreetly rather than become the center of attention.
However, given how things have already developed, there's no point in dwelling on this point anymore.
The real deal was that other True Venerables came one after another to seek their guidance, and they all brought generous gifts.
Everyone knows that Qu Zhenzun is probably not short of money, but shouldn't he at least have a proper attitude?
