Chapter 1995: Destroying the Way
The opposing True Immortal made a suggestion, "Hongyeling disregarded the Zhongzhou ban and bought property here... Aren't you afraid that we will expose your cards?"
The leader of the Five Friends Alliance is the Immortal Yongheng, an old man with white hair and beard.
He shook his head slowly, "The so-called ban is never aimed at the top."
"And he dared to give his real name when he first met Sanshi... Is he afraid that we would report it?"
Sanshi Zhenxian also nodded. He didn't want his efforts to go to waste.
"Yes, and at the moment... only Duan Bowen and we know this information."
"Once this gets out, the forces that want to contact Hongye Ridge will only increase greatly. What are we trying to gain?"
The Immortal who asked the question shut up after hearing this, and after a long while he said, "But their existence will be known sooner or later."
"This is not a big problem. We can't influence the other party either," Immortal Yongheng saw it clearly. "It's good enough to have the initiative."
"I suggest that we first prepare a set of out-of-body skills and send them over... We'll have to wait and see how the situation develops."
In the world of cultivating immortals, buying things on credit is not common, but it does exist.
Logically speaking, the out-of-body skills are so rare that it is normal to delay them for a while.
"Where can we get the Out-of-Body Technique?" Immortal Sanshi frowned and said, "Brother Yongheng, this is a matter within the alliance."
However, Immortal Yongheng said calmly, "Sanshi, I know you have it at home, make a copy for them."
"That's mine!" Sanshi Zhenxian said with a grin, "and it's a fragment!"
"They didn't say that the incomplete version is not acceptable, right?" Yong Heng said casually, "Red Leaf Ridge is not for cultivation, but for the deduction of new skills."
I have to admit that Duan Bowen did provide a lot of useful information - everyone in Dongsheng knew it, but people in Zhongzhou really didn't understand.
"As for your family's contribution, the alliance must have made arrangements. Is this okay?"
Sanshi Zhenxian was a little unwilling, and another Zhenxian advised him, "After getting the authorization, your opinion will be the main one."
"How can I be so embarrassed?" Sanshi couldn't hold it in any longer. "I'll listen to my elder brother."
"I don't have that many favors to sell," Immortal Yongheng said calmly.
"This is mainly an opportunity for the Five Friends Alliance to develop. Sanshi, we have been together for such a long time... there is a long way to go."
"Then I'll listen to my eldest brother!" Sanshi Zhenxian nodded without hesitation.
Although he is narrow-minded, he cannot be ungrateful because Immortal Yongheng saved his life.
As for how to solve the next set of skills, none of the three True Immortals mentioned it.
Once the demons invade on a large scale, we don’t know how the situation will develop. There is no point in thinking too much.
Three days later, Qu Jianlei received the out-of-body skills sent by Immortal Sanshi.
He was a little dissatisfied about the incomplete version of the martial arts, but it was better to have it than not to have it, right?
"Although I used it to deduce new skills, it's a bit perfunctory... I can't do this with the next book."
"I can only try my best," Sanshi Zhenxian would never say anything for sure, "It is really difficult to obtain the out-of-body skills."
"If it's still incomplete, then I'll order two more sets," Qu Jianlei asked calmly, "Any objections?"
The Three Stone Immortals remained silent, adhering to the principle that silence is golden.
"Is that so?" Qu Jianlei coughed lightly, "Then I have one more thing to say: if you buy on credit... you have to pay interest, right?"
"Interest..." Sanshi Zhenxian raised his eyebrows in surprise, "How can this be calculated as interest?"
He did not deny the rationality of the interest, but with the out-of-body skills, how do you want us to pay interest?
Giving one-tenth of the Out-of-Body Technique every year? Isn't that right?
Moreover, as such scarce goods can be replenished in the end, we are already considered to be keeping our word. How can you talk to me about interest?
"One copy of the Nascent Soul Technique per year," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "You may disagree, but even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have our righteousness."
How could I disagree? Sanshi Zhenxian felt bitter, but there was nothing he could do, as the initiative was in the hands of the other party.
He could only bite the bullet and bargain, "One copy of the Nascent Soul Technique costs three years... Master Qu Ling, it's a top-notch treasure, so we don't charge interest like this."
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "One book every two years, six years' advance payment... this is the bottom line."
Immortal Sanshi raised his brows and asked, "Prepayment of six years' interest?"
"Nine in, thirteen out, you don't understand, do you?" Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "If there is no credit, where does the interest come from?"
Immortal Sanshi was speechless again. You are a dignified Nascent Soul, in charge of a great force, why do you want to learn these inferior things?
However, he couldn't even refute it and could only go back to Daye City again - he really hadn't made any similar preparations.
Fortunately, the Five Friends Alliance was still quite powerful, and after another six days, they finally completed the deal.
There are many details in the transaction, so I won’t go into detail, but there is one point that needs to be emphasized.
That is the Zhongzhou profiler's version, which is two months behind the Dongsheng version, to indicate that they were smuggled into Zhongzhou.
As for quantity, Qu Jianlei agreed to supply fifty units each time.
He said that this was not discrimination, but the demons' invasion of Dongsheng was more powerful, and Zhongzhou should also learn to actively save itself.
In fact, it is still discrimination... The True Immortals of the Five Friends Alliance understand this very well.
But there is no way. When the tiger people invaded, Zhongzhou’s attitude towards Dongsheng was the same - you guys save yourself first.
What did Dongsheng do wrong at that time? There was really no mistake, it was just bad luck that the space crack appeared there.
Zhongzhou didn't do anything wrong now. It was just bad luck. The probe was not produced by the forces in Zhongzhou.
The other details are not important and need not be elaborated on.
After the deal was reached, Qu Jianlei was not in a hurry to leave. He still had to wait for news from Duan Bowen.
However, the updated news came from the Five Friends Alliance. On this day, the leader of the alliance, Immortal Yongheng, came to visit.
The deal between the two parties has been reached. As the number one figure in the Five Friends Alliance, it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to show up.
He did not come empty-handed, but brought a message.
Daye City is currently searching to see if there are any cultivators from Hongye Ridge on its territory.
The reason why the City Lord's Mansion had such speculation was because of the last auction of the repair fluid.
Daye City is well aware that there have always been many smuggling forces operating in the eastern coastal areas.
However, it is not convenient to investigate this matter in detail. From the perspective of social operation, smuggling can effectively supplement the existing economic order.
This is not a joke, existence is reasonable.
From the perspective of interests, behind some smuggling forces stand the big guys of Daye City.
Therefore, as long as the smuggling forces are not too rampant, the City Lord's Mansion will turn a blind eye.
Just like that bottle of repair fluid, it obviously came from Dongsheng, but the final buyer was actually the guard of the City Lord’s Mansion!
But now, Daye City really needs to conduct a thorough investigation.
Because everyone knows that Hongye Ridge not only has repair fluid, but also the Demon Nemesis... and others.
The City Lord's Mansion took action and easily found the first force selling the repair fluid.
The first force betrayed the second force - we can't let my family suffer alone, right?
The testimonies of these two families indicate that it is very likely that no one from Hongyeling came to Zhongzhou.
But Daye City will not give up: if the goods from Hongye Ridge can fall into the hands of smugglers, then naturally the people of Hongye Ridge can too.
No matter what, even if it was just to prepare for a rainy day, Daye City began to seriously inquire about the news in its own territory.
But Immortal Yongheng was also interesting, as he actually passed the news directly to me.
Qu Jianlei could understand the other party's thoughts and said straightforwardly, "Daye City... we have no plans to contact them for the time being."
"But if you want to make this happen, we won't mind."
——You want to threaten me with this? Please think about who is more afraid of this.
Immortal Yongheng smiled slightly when he heard this, "Ha, what a coincidence, we haven't told Daye City about our plan yet."
If he wasn't sure, how could he tell the other party this information?
Anyway, he was quite satisfied with this conversation, and asked before leaving, "Are you interested in moving to Zhongzhou as a whole?"
"It's not impossible to consider it," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "but the prerequisite is that we can first obtain a fourth-level spiritual vein."
Yongheng was not surprised by his answer. Duan Bowen said that Hongye Ridge occupies a fourth-level spiritual vein.
People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Moving from Dongsheng to Zhongzhou is for better cultivation conditions and more cultivation resources.
If the cultivation conditions in Zhongzhou are not as good as those in Dongsheng, who would be stupid enough to move?
But Yong Heng himself was helpless in helping with the fourth-level spiritual vein. "Have you ever thought about conquering Wudao to obtain it?"
There are quite a few fourth-tier spiritual veins in Zhongzhou, but they all have owners.
However, the owners of some spiritual veins are obviously much weaker in strength, it’s just that their ancestors were once wealthy.
Generally speaking, the owners of these spiritual veins would be quite low-key, fearing that they would be caught and their mistakes would be magnified infinitely.
But what is very strange is that the more such a family is, the more likely it is that some descendants with bad conduct will appear.
Then others will seize this opportunity and seize their family property under the guise of "defeating the unjust with the just."
Over time, "conquering the unjust" has become a synonym for fighting for territory - no matter whether you are unjust or not, who gave you the spiritual vein?
However, Qu Jianlei shook his head and said, "Even if it is really unrighteous, we are too lazy to worry about it... The process is too complicated."
Zhongzhou is an orderly society. Things like spiritual veins are almost impossible to move, and they cannot be stolen by just killing people.
Therefore, you must obtain official permission and go through all the procedures before you can claim the land as your own.
Qu Jianlei had learned about these procedures, and they were really too cumbersome - even if it was just pure self-defense, it would be considered as having ulterior motives.
If that's the case, why should he wade into such muddy water?
"Do you think the process is too complicated?" Immortal Yongheng was in a daze when he heard this. How long had it been since he heard such childish remarks?
"Although it's complicated, it's a permanent foundation, so we shouldn't be careless, okay?"
"I know that the owners of several spiritual veins are truly lacking in both virtue and talent, and are definitely Fa Wudao... Do you want to consider it?"
