Chapter 1699: Hidden Treasure Crisis
Jing Yuexin still frowned when she heard Qing Hu's words, "But..."
She didn't know why, but she always felt a vague sense of uneasiness in her heart.
But she couldn't say this yet, because the boss, who had the strongest sense of danger, didn't show anything.
She was a little doubtful whether she was worrying too much, but... her mind was a little uneasy.
Then she looked at Hualei and nodded slightly, "Maybe you are the destined one, go and give it a try."
"Me?" Hua Lei pointed at her nose in disbelief. How could such a good thing be mine?
She was very clear about Jing Yuexin's position in Digital Phantom. After all, she was the one who dared to announce "I am Jing Yuexin" as soon as they met.
Not only is he the spokesperson for Digital Phantom, he also seems to have a very high status in the team, second only to the boss.
It was impossible for such a big shot to joke with her, but she was really terrified, "This secret treasure is so precious..."
"The secret treasure is shared by the team," Jing Yuexin said calmly, "but if you can open it, it will naturally be beneficial."
"If the cave really recognizes you as its master, we will not forcibly seize the opportunity of others."
When Qing Hu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes: What... happened to you?
She was already quite familiar with Jing Yuexin's character. With her temper, how could she be willing to give up such a great opportunity?
And no matter what, this flower bud can't be the destined one - there's simply not a trace of spiritual energy about her, right?
Qu Jianlei also noticed her abnormality, so he released his spiritual sense, "What's going on?"
"I just had a sudden impulse," Jing Yuexin replied calmly, "I just wanted to try and see if she is the one for me."
"She becomes the destined one..." Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, are you kidding?
But the next moment, he thought of something, "Just a whim?"
Jing Yuexin didn't answer, but just stared at the bud.
Hualei failed the test and she didn't even have time to stimulate the white mist.
She put her hand on the box, but was bounced back just as she tried to release her internal energy. Her body was pushed back by a great force, and she took several steps back.
Seeing this scene, Jing Yuexin snorted softly, "I was a little distracted and subconsciously felt the danger."
"Dangerous..." Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment. To be honest, he really didn't think that her perception of danger was stronger than his.
But it's not a bad thing to be cautious in everything, so he asked tentatively, "Then let me tell your fortune?"
"I think... why don't we just forget it?" Jing Yuexin still had some doubts in her heart, but she really had no confidence in her intuition.
But according to divination, the boss will have to pay some price in the end.
Qu Jianlei said very straightforwardly, "If nothing happens, divination won't cost too much."
Seeing him take out the tortoise shells and shells, everyone was a little surprised, and also a little confused: Is the boss planning to get serious?
Taoist Jiao asked, "What's the problem?"
Qu Jianlei answered casually, "I just felt that this matter was of great importance, so I asked for divination to see if there were any clues."
"That's fine..." Taoist Jiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "After all, it is a relic of a great master who has left his body."
After all, he was more concerned about the relevant information of the world of immortal cultivation, and naturally did not want any mistakes to occur.
However, the result of the divination surprised Qu Jianlei a little. "Moderately lucky, moderately unlucky...half and half?"
"This hexagram..." Yi He could also understand the basic hexagrams, and was a little surprised for a moment, "How could this be?"
Being struck by a dangerous disease doesn't sound particularly dangerous, but it is actually not. Broken bones and tendons are the best thing to do.
If you are not careful, it is normal to damage the foundation, and in extreme cases, you may even lose your life.
Other bad things include losing money, such as the team's wealth shrinking sharply, the loss of magic tools, etc...
"Luckily, I have Nakaji with me. It's true that the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish."
The next moment, the obsidian floated out again, "Boss, I'll lend you this Calming Talisman."
To be honest, with good and bad things happening at the same time, Qu Jianlei is almost feeling like retreating.
He has always been a cautious person. If he is not sure about something, he would just wait and do it when the time is right.
But on second thought, the current environment of the empire may not allow him to develop for much longer.
And judging from the situation, if he wants to reduce the risk, he must at least advance to the out-of-body stage, right?
But he didn't even know the way to leave his body, let alone this world. It seemed vaguely that... Nascent Soul was the upper limit.
At the very least, for him, leaving his body is a long way off, and he doesn't know how long he will have to wait.
And let’s look at Jiao Daoren and Yi He, they both exploded today, which is rare.
Did neither of them have seen the treasure of the out-of-body power? Maybe.
But Qu Jianlei would rather believe that the two wanted to return to the world of immortal cultivation and were almost going crazy with the idea.
He had never been to the world of immortals, but he knew how much of a temptation a comfortable life could have on poor people.
Yi He and Jiao Dao Ren were both people who had once been in the world of immortal cultivation.
My ancestors were once wealthy, and I have enjoyed the good life, but now I have to be trapped in a soulless place. That kind of despair... who understands?
Thinking of this, he could even understand why Taoist Jiao didn't care about Yun Guan and Yi He didn't care about the Ten Directions Demon Subduing Formation.
——It’s just a small well. What’s the harm if you can make flowers appear in it?
Those who have seen the vast sky outside will not care about these things at all. How can a frog in a well understand the wonderful world outside?
So he raised his hand and caught the calming talisman.
Then Qu Jianlei walked towards the box and said, "Everyone, please make way for me. There may be some potential threats."
In fact, most of the people present had sensed the communication through spiritual consciousness, and seeing the interaction between the boss and others, they also felt something was wrong.
Hualei was a little confused and was dragged away by Claire.
The others didn't bother to communicate with each other, and the fourth boss spoke directly, "Is there any danger? I'll come!"
"It's not your turn," the paranoid man said bluntly, then looked at the flower scorpion, "What are you standing there for? Be alert!"
Flower Scorpion was completely confused by the scolding. With so many Yuanying here, on guard... is it my turn as the Little Golden Elixir?
Then she looked at the ruler, "Senior Xizhao, what's going on?"
"Don't ask, maybe it's okay," Jia Shuiqing said lightly.
She was about to rush forward with Qing Hu just now, how could she not realize that something might have gone wrong?
But at this time, the right thing to do is to stabilize the morale of the army. "You are responsible for vigilance, and we will protect the law."
Qu Jianlei walked up to the box and looked at it carefully.
In fact, it is just a very inconspicuous box. It looks like it is made of stone, but if you look closely, it seems not to be.
There are faint cloud patterns on it, which look like natural stone patterns, but when you feel it carefully, they don't look like it.
It looks like everything except a treasure.
I don’t know how Taoist Jiao found this thing on this huge planet.
Qu Jianlei calmed himself down, raised his hand, pressed it on the box, and slowly output spiritual energy.
There were many uncertainties during this search for the secret treasure, and his teammates rushed ahead to test it in order to protect him as the boss.
He had just made his move at this moment, and he actually felt a little guilty, but forget it, he should calm down and sense it carefully...
He input spiritual energy from slow to fast, and the amplitude of input was increasing little by little.
He didn't know how long he had been typing, but suddenly there was a muffled "bang" sound, and a Taoist priest in a green robe with a gaunt face appeared in his mind.
What others saw was a cloud of white mist coming out of the box, which became thicker and thicker.
When it became so thick that it seemed tangible, the white fog gradually spread and rolled towards Qu Jianlei in front.
When the thick fog completely obscured him, that's when the muffled sound appeared.
At this time, all the team members panicked and looked at Da She, "Senior Jiao..."
The big snake shook its head and did not send out any spiritual consciousness, but spoke in human language.
"Whether it's inheritance or the transfer of authority... now is a critical moment. If you want to sabotage it, just do it."
"But senior," Jing Yuexin shouted.
At this moment, she really didn't care about much else. "I feel a sense of crisis... not for me, but for the boss!"
"Calm down," the big snake looked at her, and the pupils in its eyes were actually a very strange vertical shape.
He said coldly, "For cultivators like me, cultivation is inherently against the will of heaven, and there is never a time when it is absolutely safe."
"Just like the tribulation thunder, everyone in the team has survived it. So, do you think...surviving the tribulation is easy?"
“I’m not afraid to tell you openly that in the world of immortal cultivation, the number of people who fail to survive the tribulation far exceeds the number of people who succeed.”
This was the first time that Da She spoke, and his tone was not very specific, but the feeling of indifference he exuded was simply indescribable.
However, while they were talking, something unexpected happened.
The thick white fog grew larger and larger, spreading to fifty or sixty meters in diameter.
Immediately afterwards, the speed of spread dropped sharply, and the thick white fog fluctuated slightly.
The fluctuations became larger and larger, and in the end, it seemed like a white mud monster that was twisting constantly.
"No!" Yi He sent out his divine sense, "There are spiritual fluctuations inside!"
His knowledge may not be as good as that of the elder of the Beast Taming Sect, but he has been a remnant soul for many years, so his spiritual perception should not be bad.
“This…” At this moment, Jiao Daoren also hesitated, “It may be the transfer of authority… Damn, I can’t sense anything inside!”
The white fog had a strong effect of obscuring spiritual consciousness. With his level of cultivation, he was unable to sense the situation inside.
The others... are naturally even worse.
However, inside the white fog, Qu Jianlei was facing the gaunt Taoist in his mind.
The Taoist's eyes were a little blurry at first, and then gradually became clearer, but his expression was still very confused.
After a long time, the Taoist's eyes gradually became clear, and a wave of spiritual consciousness emitted.
"My dear friend, how many years has the Federation been established?"
"3085 in the Federal Calendar," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice without saying much.
"So... not long after," the Taoist looked a little sad, and then asked again.
"My friend is the heir of the authentic immortal cultivation system, but has the immortal cultivation world opened up this world?"
Qu Jianlei did not answer but asked, "Excuse me, Senior, can you tell me your identity and sect?"
If he really is a powerful being that has left his body, he must have a history. This is what Taoist Jiao said.
Yi He also said that as a casual cultivator, being able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage was the limit for him - if he wanted to go any further, there wouldn't even be any inheritance.
Except for a few people who are destined to succeed with incredible luck, most independent cultivators who want to achieve the state of leaving the body must compromise with the larger forces.
The conditions may be different, but there is no doubt that pie does not fall from the sky.
The thin Taoist was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I'm ashamed. I only have a trace of obsession left. What identity do you still want?"
Then he asked, "Can you tell me your identity and sect?"
"This is a bit inconvenient," Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied calmly, "We just met by chance, why bother asking where it came from?"
"Alas," the thin Taoist sighed, "You want to get my secret treasure, right?"
"I only have this little obsession left. It is useless to me to keep it secret. My friend, you are the one who got the clue. You are also destined to be with me."
"However, I have been active in the world of immortal cultivation for my entire life, but there are also people I don't like. If you can't explain your origins..."
This reason is very reasonable - I can't leave my things to people who make me unhappy.
However, Qu Jianlei shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Senior, I didn't know that you still have a remnant soul."
"Since the owner of the secret treasure is still here, how can I take his things by force?"
"It's just a wisp of obsession," the thin Taoist shook his head disapprovingly, then his expression suddenly changed, "Do you really want to give up?"
But he had already sensed that the person opposite him had stopped inputting spiritual energy.
