There is only a group of casual cultivators in Mangdang Mountain.
This mountainous area covers an area of more than 500,000 square kilometers, is rich in resources, and is home to millions of independent cultivators.
When the family of a casual cultivator grows to a certain size, they will leave there, because Mangdang Mountain only accepts the existence of casual cultivators.
There were a total of six Yuanyings in that group, and they all regarded Jun Wuji as their leader. Four of them were sworn brothers with him.
There is only one Nascent Soul who has recently achieved success and is still in the observation period. If nothing unexpected happens, it is only a matter of time before they become sworn brothers.
In short, there is an alliance of independent cultivators in Mangdang Mountain, and Jun Wuji is the leader of it.
However, in terms of his external influence, he is slightly inferior to Yongheng Zhenxian of the Five Friends Alliance.
But in the Mangdang Mountains, he is the undisputed uncrowned king and has his own solid foundation.
Jun Wuji's actions were naturally not without confidence, but the Xinhua City Lord's Mansion was not someone he was willing to provoke.
Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this, "It was the stall owner's agent. What we encountered was a golden elixir."
As the leader of the independent cultivators, how could Jun Wuji not understand these words?
Hearing this, he burst into laughter. "These scumbags are everywhere."
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly and handed over a storage bag. "There are six thousand Supreme Spirits in it. Please count them, fellow Daoist."
The price of the stone is five thousand nine hundred Shang Ling, but it is not reasonable for him to let a Yuanying help for free, right?
With his secret support, the other party did not perform badly and saved face. However, that's not how it works.
What others get is their own business. Qu Jianlei will never skimp on what he should give.
Just now when he used his spiritual sense to connect with the other party, he also promised that he would have his feelings for him, but the other party did not respond.
Giving an extra hundred spirits now is his intention.
Is it too little? He didn't think it was too little. It was equivalent to one million ordinary spirit stones. The key payment was still the upper spirit.
However, Qu Jianlei is open and aboveboard in his actions, and Jun Wuji is also a proud and arrogant person.
He smiled and replied, "You are looking down on me by doing this, my friend. If you don't mind..."
After a pause, he tentatively asked, "Can you explain what kind of treasure this stone is?"
As he spoke, he released a box, which contained exactly one hundred Shang Ling.
"This..." Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment before answering, "Those who don't understand say it's time, but it's actually about killing and destruction, and there's evil spirit inside."
"I have a broken magic weapon and I need this to repair it."
"Evil spirit?" Jun Wuji was shocked when he heard that. "I didn't feel any of it at all. Please explain it to me."
He is already a Nascent Soul. Apart from his understanding of the rules, he is also extremely sensitive to murderous aura. How could the other party actually say that there is evil spirit inside?
At the same time, he was secretly surprised in his heart. How powerful could a magic weapon be that required six thousand supreme spirits to repair it?
Qu Jianlei smiled slightly and pointed at the box on the ground. "Put it away first, and I will talk to you later."
"This is really..." Jun Wuji muttered softly, put away the box, and then smiled.
"Excuse me, this answer is very important to me...I really don't want to be so rude."
"That's not rude at all," Qu Jianlei smiled, "I'll get back all the extra money I spent!"
The inheritance of independent cultivators is already a big problem, not to mention relatively advanced techniques like divination.
Then, he said solemnly, "Daoyou, that fellow dared to openly collect so many high spirits, and he had more than one person to help him..."
Jun Wuji didn't think there was anything wrong with Qu Jianlei causing trouble for the stall owner.
Although the order in Xiangyuan City is acceptable, the saying that Yuanying cannot be insulted is not said in vain.
However, he still needs to give a brief reminder about the possible risks involved in this matter.
"Thank you, Brother Wuji, for the reminder," Qu Jianlei first smiled slightly, then spoke proudly.
"But for some things, you have to pay the price for doing them... Everything in the world has to follow cause and effect!"
That's because you have the ability to talk about cause and effect! Jun Wuji nodded silently: In this world, are there not enough people who have been cheated?
Then he smiled and said, "If we meet again in the future, we will drink and chat happily!"
The other party was somewhat reluctant to ask him about his background, but he had to show his heroism - he wasn't the leader of the independent cultivators for nothing!
"It won't be long," Qu Jianlei smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Wuji of Mangdang Mountain... I'll remember it!"
The two sides said goodbye, and Qu Jianlei took Jing Yuexin and Qi Ya Zhenxian to continue picking up leaks outside the field.
By the evening, he keenly discovered that the stall owner Jindan had quietly left.
"If we let you go, wouldn't it be a joke?" Qu Jianlei and the other two also followed him out quietly.
This Jindan was also very cautious. He was driving a small flying boat, blending in among the many flying boats.
He sped up and slowed down from time to time, and occasionally turned, but it was quite inconspicuous.
He did not use more means, such as the teleportation talisman that Qu Jianlei and the others had imagined.
However, although this method is simple and unpretentious, it is quite effective. There is no need to say more about it. The main point is to "follow the crowd".
As I said, the order in Xiangyuan City is still pretty good. Anyone who wants to intercept him will be seen by too many people.
Qu Jianlei and the others did not follow closely. What followed this person was a looming ruler.
Even if the other party uses the teleportation talisman, he still cannot escape the perception of the sunset.
But the fact that he kept running away made it a little difficult for the three of them to deal with him.
"How about just stop it?" Jing Yuexin couldn't stand it. She had rarely suffered such humiliation in her life.
The worst that could happen would be to alarm some people. She didn't believe that she could escape before Xiangyuan City took action.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Qiya pursed her lips but said nothing. She knew her position clearly - a servant had no right to interrupt.
Qu Jianlei thought about it, and finally shook his head, "Wait for him to go back... On the way back to the city, the alert should be the highest."
This is human nature. Once we return to a place we think is relatively safe, we will unconsciously relax our vigilance.
As for taking action in Xiangyuan City, it would definitely alarm more people and the nature of the incident would be more serious...that doesn't matter.
Anyway, the order has been disrupted. As long as I can escape, whether the consequences are more serious... does it matter?
Upon hearing this, Qi Ya couldn't help but nodded slightly - this decision was fine, like the responsibility of a team leader.
She used to think that Lord Qu Ling was relatively reasonable, but now it seems that you really can't judge a person by his appearance.
However, Jing Yuexin asked in return, "If he is not a resident of Xiangyuan City and went directly to the teleportation array, will we be able to make it in time?"
Qu Jianlei remained silent after hearing this. This possibility really existed objectively.
More than half of the people participating in this exchange meeting are not residents of Xiangyuan City.
It is hard to say what the exact proportion is, and it is not convenient for him to count it.
But there is no doubt that even in the main venue of the exchange meeting, more than half of the people setting up stalls are from other places.
He once lamented that if he had known this would happen, he would not have needed to campaign for a spot and could have just been a tourist.
But at that time... who could have thought that the exchange meeting in Xiangyuan City would be held in such a weird way?
And now, it is not too much for this Jindan to rush here from other first-tier cities in order to sell such a valuable treasure, right?
In fact, this person does not need to be a foreigner. It is enough to come from a subordinate city of Xiangyuan City.
As long as you are not from the main urban area and want to go back to your own city, you will basically choose to teleport - Zhongzhou is really too big.
Once the opponent chooses to teleport, even with Sunset's ability, he cannot be tracked.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for Sunset to be discovered, even if the other party has certain preventive measures.
But the teleportation array... what is that place? In any city, it is a key defense area.
Qu Jianlei was able to bring Xizhao through the teleportation array because of his deliberate cover, but it really wouldn't work here.
While he was struggling, something unexpected happened in front of him. A large net suddenly appeared and covered the small flying boat.
The large net appeared so suddenly that the surrounding flying boats were startled and turned to avoid it.
The next moment, a divine consciousness was heard in a mighty voice, "Search for suspects in Xinhua City, all irrelevant people, please retreat!"
It was clearly the consciousness of the Nascent Soul, without the slightest disguise.
The cultivators from Xinhua City are coming to Xiangyuan City... Well, that is something the City Lord's Mansion needs to consider.
In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Zhongzhou. In the mysterious world, the nature of cross-domain migration is not that serious.
After all, this is a phenomenon caused by the huge differences in individual combat power.
As long as the person who was killed can leave in time, all that remains is a verbal battle.
However, for Xinhua City to do such a thing in front of so many cultivators...it is indeed a bit rare.
But now that people have spoken out, who has the right to make a fuss?
Qu Jianlei reacted immediately, "Oh my god, this isn't the aura of the Nascent Soul. What's going on?"
"Let's wait and see what happens," Jing Yuexin calmed down. "At worst, we won't get back the difference."
Even though she is a Kun Xiu, she is willing to let go when encountering problems, which is inconsistent with the impression of ordinary people that Kun Xiu must be thrifty.
At this time, Qi Ya couldn't help it anymore. She said calmly, "They are all under the guise of Xinhua City... What if it's not true?"
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly when he heard this, "Then just watch."
After the big net covered the flying boat, it directly wrapped the flying boat and flew to the side and rear.
The flying boat was also driven by spirit stones and had extraordinary power, but it was covered by a large net and had no resistance at all.
In the constant struggle, the flying boat was dragged away, and at this moment, the sky began to darken.
